Oh, podcasting 2.0 for September 9 2022, episode 101 loops not
less hello everybody welcome to the weekly board meeting is the
only one you need to attend in your life. It is the one for
podcasting 2.0 everything that's going on in podcast index.org
with a namespace with the industry. And of course all the
trash we talk, podcast index dot social. I'm Adam curry here in
the heart of the Texas Hill Country and in Alabama, the man
most likely to receive the first knighthood from the new King.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. De Jones.
Yeah, guess what I'm doing as we speak.
I don't know some royal duties.
Not royal duties. I'm like, I'm always I'm tweeting the or
tooting the Oh, you're tuning the show the show you have to
show. Did you know? Did you know? I just found this out like
yesterday. Do you know how shut when somebody talks about a
shotgun is like 12 gauge 10 gauge 16 gauge? Do you know what
the how they determine that what the gauge means?
I only know 12 and 20. And I know 20 is smaller. So no. Is
it? Oh wait. Is it by the size of the ear you can shoot a hole
through for one of those hip looking big rings.
Know it is it is oh. So there's there's 1012 1620 gauge. I'm
sure there's a few more. But those are the ones that are the
most common. I've been using this terminology my whole life I
didn't I never realized what that means. So the way you
determine the gauge of a shotgun is that number means how many
lead balls of the diameter of the barrel? It takes to make one
pound. No way. Yeah, so 10 gauge shotgun is tin, tin lead balls
of that size. Barrel diameter. Yeah, we'll make a pound
ha yeah, that makes sense. Why a 20 gauge is smaller than a 12.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah. And for 10 So I've got I've got a double barrel 14 and
the 14 is not a gauge. That's a caliber. So that's yeah, wholly
different.
Yeah, my the judge can shoot those. It'll do. It'll go both
ways. Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Just Well, I gave it to Rogen as
a Welcome to Texas gift that was given to me when I came to
Texas, so I forgot. Give it to Joe. And he just gets passed
around. New arrivals. Yeah, it's like, like those chicks with a
blue jeans. Only we do it with a gun. Okay. Of course, that
movie. The secret society of the paddling, paint traveling fans.
Yes, exactly. Hey, I got my first my first pod verse alert
today of live for the live Yeah, I'm very excited. And this is
because I got a new phone and I loaded graphene OS onto it. And,
you know, I was using a pixel for for, I don't know, years and
years with graphene OS thing goes on forever. And so fine.
Love the size, love everything about it battery stays, you
know, still good. What phone did you get? Well, you're pretty
restricted with graphene OS. And so the reason why I got it is
that I felt it was time to clean up, you know, it's like, okay,
now I really know how graphene is functions, I'd like to kind
of start over again, and the selfie camera had started
getting, you know, got cloudy. So if I did a call with my
daughter, she's like, dad take the filter off. And like that's
not filter. So I asked, our guy had no agenda phone.com Who does
this as a service. But he also has very detailed instructions
how to do it yourself as I'll do it myself. But he said, you
know, get a pixel six A, which I'm generally very happy with.
But it's bigger than I really I really like it's a little
bigger.
I don't like a big phone. I've got the iPhone Mini.
Yeah. I prefer that. And you know, and I don't like cases,
but I really need to put something around this because
very vulnerable. It looks feels vulnerable. Yeah. Anyway, it's a
solid device. And it was that was actually quite an
interesting, I finally figured out how to use the sandbox
Google stuff. And so you know, if you can download something
from the Play Store and run it in its own little sandbox, which
you know, really locks out all of your other system. It can't
talk to apps outside of that it can't, you know, you can really
determine if it gets any geolocation data. And so you can
also determine, hey, let this app pass on an alert.
So this is the what you're talking about is that thing
where it like proxies it logs into the store for you with some
other account? No,
no, no, this is the you literally log in with an
existing Google account except when you load the apple onto
your phone. Now, of course, whatever you're doing, you know,
Google knows what you're doing, obviously. So you got to choose
wisely. But the app itself runs in a sandbox that is separate
from the rest of the phone. So it can't be talking to other
apps and getting all kinds of sensor data without your
explicit permission on all of these things. If it's very
granular
into that in that kit, I'm assuming that that kills it in
the background. So that is not just resident all the time
tracking you and that kind of thing? No, the apps the Play
Store? No, I
mean, you have no, it's a graphing OS app, which is this
sandbox, place store and Play services. So you can still use
them. I mean, obviously, please, no need to email me.
Advice, you need lots of advice.
But then the thing that got me was tails scale, all of a sudden
didn't work. And then I realized, oh, man, I'm really
reliant on tail scale in my life. This thing, can't live
without it. Ah, I mean, just to get to my, um, roles, I have a
saved a web application, like a web page. And so just boom, you
get into your Bumble right away, or even heli pad with a
shortcut. I mean, all this stuff is great. And then oh, man, cuz
I have a domain name mapped to it. So I don't have to I don't
have to remember, IP addresses. Could you just put in the in the
a record, even though it resolves to, you know, whatever
private address it is,
it's a use case for that stuff is strong, too, because they
have, like incredible access control lists, and stuff. Oh,
man, I was reading to the documentation for it the other
day. And I mean, you can just create entire, you know, network
Virtual Private, private networks. Yeah.
With SSL, SSL certs, even if you want to go one step further.
Yeah, yeah. In DNS, you know, like proxy DNS. And
that was the thing that I had a problem with. It wasn't doing
the proxy DNS on the phone anymore. And it's apparently
something the way that here's what I even though it should, it
should work without that, by default. The Android 13 I guess
it is d VPN, system, whatever that is subsystem, that sound
cool subsystem, SFC. VPN subsystem decides to
automatically block all traffic that is not going through the
VPN. Okay, so since this is since tail scale is not a
tunnel. I mean, you're not tunneling somewhere for all the
other IP addresses you really only using it to, to get to your
private networks. Right? It blocks everything else.
Because because that's the difference between total scale
and something like a VPN is that the VPN? Or to do a VPN
properly, you tunnel everything, every packet.
You can you can with tail scale, you can use one of your
computers as an exit. No, though. No, it's not the
default. No, no. So I just couldn't figure it out. And it
was of course it was DNS, you know. And so once I flipped that
off, oh, okay, now it all works again. That was one of those
showstopper moments.
It's always DNS.
That's exactly what's going to always DNS. And then I'm so
jazzed that this Saturn thing came out which connects you to
the Alby wallet.
Have you so have you played with it? I have no idea. So
I, I hooked it up this morning. And I put the I put an
additional 1% into the pot, only the podcasting 2.0 block, value
block and nothing was happening. Nothing. And all of a sudden, in
the last 14 minutes, it's starting to work. I have a
blueberry with 169 SATs Chad f. Let me see now. Let me see. Do I
have anything? So yeah, it's showing the episodes now this
thing is very cool. And I can't wait to have enough data in
here. Just look at the charts. I mean, this blew me away. And is
this the the lb guys themselves? Or is this partners they're
working with?
God knows. That's them. I think that me I'm sure it's them. This
is mind boggling. So what is let me look at our value block here
because we're getting your balls getting heavy.
Well, okay, let me tell you this. I, I see. I see successful
payments in different apps, but it doesn't come through.
Okay, and I said we I think we need to pare this down a bit.
Because there's too many splits causing problems. Yeah, you get
1234567 splits.
I've seen 10 Go no problems.
It's just so sad. Low though. Like I don't need, you can take
the you can take my stay safe note off, I don't need I don't
if we're going to do, I would say, do you take me off? They
just replace me with Saturn that way we can both see it.
But do you think that? Do you think that this is the problem?
I mean, I don't know what routing is, I have no idea. I
mean, before we, I mean, if, if seven splits in the block is a
problem, that's something we need to address and just taking
shit out, I don't think is the way to address him.
I'm not really, I wasn't trying to be technical, I really was
just thinking of it more like a from a troubleshooting
standpoint, where you pare things down. Okay. Well, there's
two things that, you know, there's like, there's that
aspect of it. And then there's also the fact that you have
seven fees. You know, I mean, there's routing fees for every
one of these. Yeah, so you don't miss that's not good, either.
Because we can't really especially like, like boost bot,
or, or me, the my or my node. I don't know where that route is
gonna go. It may go through something that's got higher fees
than we would lie. Sure.
Sure. That's a good point.
If me, okay,
this is something we need to look at. And I don't know, I
mean, this is a new system, I'm receiving everything with the
same fee amount on my own, Umbro, the booster grant monitor
and receiving everything there. So it could also be the routing
to Alby just before we start ripping stuff up. And I think we
still need to look at what are the limitations? What are the
app seeing as limitations for each payment? It's just that we
need to look at and if we're, if that's what we're hitting, now,
let's look at it. Now. Even if we're not, this is
important. The other that'd be the other way to look at this is
as an as troubleshooting exercise is that we can be the
test case for how many splits do you do and can you use until it
until it begins to have problems? Okay. Right. But I
mean, we can just keep going with but 14 splits.
Right? I just like to I'd like to figure out why this is
happening. Now. What I'm seeing here, so this 169 SATs, that's
probably the split amount. So that would have been like, well,
actually, let me see what blueberry when blueberry do
about 14 minutes ago. Blueberry sent 17,776. So that one got
through. So it must be a fee issue.
The fee is outweighing the,
the fees outweighing the payment? I think.
Yeah, cuz I got 17 776 from blueberry on hella pad.
100 Yeah, right. And so I see here chat F 96. So that means
that was what 1000 1000 SATs a 21. Oh, boy. Yeah. Okay. This is
likely illiquidity slash fee slash routing issue.
Yeah. And that really seems like the most logical explanation
when it comes to if if, if a lot of splits was going to cause a
problem. Yeah, it seems like it would manifest itself as a fee
issue. slowness number one, but then above and beyond that, like
if payments just don't arrive? It would be a fee issue. Now?
Is it? I've maybe this is what it would have been all along. Or
maybe I just didn't get it? Is an amp payment? Can you put
together an amp payment that doesn't necessarily assemble all
at the same end, but goes out to for instance, and payment? And
we say send these in different directions? Or these are the
different places and it's one payment? And it splits through
amp? Or is yeah, that works?
Yeah, that does work. If the continuous problem with AMP is
lack of support, like not enabled or, or, or if it goes
through a route, or if it goes through a channel, where amp is
not supported by one end of that channel likes to say I'm not
sure see, lightning supports amp. Or
you know what, Roy Roy can weigh in on this Roy knows exactly
where this is at. And I know he prefers amp. So if we can
support it and start pushing it, because this that may solve our
problem. But we do support it. No, I know. Is it on the the
index node? I don't think so. I don't think it's turned on. I
don't think it's I don't think it's on by default.
Yeah, I don't know about that when you might you may be right
about that. I
know I think the Zeus wallet doesn't have it on it seems like
something that's not on by default. Even though even though
it I think the the switches try and payment if possible. So you
know, it could just delay the payment altogether and you know,
delay it until Is it okay, that didn't work? No, me tried the
old school way? I think we should. It sounds like we should
start supporting that,
then. Yeah.
Just by turning it on and using it.
I don't know, which I don't know which things support. I don't
know which nodes node software's support app and which ones don't
only see. I mean, look up, I wonder, see, see lightning?
Because that would be that's the other major one, me got a link
out there as well.
But it means support this. There's support in the in the in
the node software itself. And then there's support in the, in
the wallets support in the nodes in the routes, you know, routing
nodes that the apps have to have to send have to package things
differently, I guess, to make an app payment.
Tomic multipath. That's online. That's on LMDS page. I don't see
anything about amp with
core lightning.
Native amp support? Yeah, I don't I don't know. I don't know
that that's supported. And if it's not, then then that
wouldn't be good. Because I mean, there's plenty of CLI
there's plenty of core lightning out there. That really needs to
tell us what's going on.
But have you thought about this problem yet? Other ideas?
I mean, I don't have I don't see. I don't see really been an
issue right now. I mean, I don't see a lot of payments failing.
Well done lack of liquidity
now. But it's only failing. Now the smaller payments are failing
to the lb split.
Yeah, but I mean, if it's a small pet, but each each payment
is each payment from a malicious kisser, take pod verse, for
example, or net, it's not easy. Take cast, thematic cast
thematic when it splits that seven ways it's going to send
seven individual payments
understood and individual fees for seven
individual fees. Yep. So. So a payment of 700. SAS. If that
doesn't make it, I'm not sure amp is going to save you very
much. Because I mean, that's a risk. If it fails because of
fees on a 700 set payment. You're so far down the line at
that point. I mean, so it's going to find, you know, you
don't the way that would save us if somehow found a channel
that's that's got 1000 SATs of liquidity, right.
But I believe that we have a channel between us and Alby.
And, you know, Elon pays effectively on on our node.
Yeah, but what I'm what I'm saying though, is that does that
and if you can't, if you can't get a 700 sat payment through
without amp, I'm not sure you're gonna get it through with AMP
either.
Understood, completely understood. I'm curious why a
payment, which should not even have a single fee in it. Because
it's, it should be our node directly to Alby because we have
a channel so there's no there's no routing fee.
That you're saying that it did not? You're saying the payments.
Are we troubleshooting this because payments are failing to
lb? Are we afraid they are?
No, they are? Definitely All right. Yeah, they are. It seems
anything under under 10,000 SATs. I'm not getting a 1% split
to the lb No, that's what I'm saying. I only have two so far
out of the room.
Are they both from the same app?
I see fountain. Two from pod verse. I just got one from Okay,
here we go. We got one from fountain. Maybe it's maybe
caching. Yeah, I could be a
two. If it's not DNS is cache.
I got one set, but Oh, that's interesting. It hasn't updated
on helipad yet. Huh?
It'll hit Bailey pads a slow piece of crap compared to lb
this the problem?
Hey, I don't want to ever hear you talking about helipad like
that. That's incredibly rude. All right. So you know what,
maybe it's just caching but we'll let it we'll let it shake
out a little bit. See how it does.
It's caching is gotta be caching. We're that's what we're
gonna go with. Okay, it's caching.
All right, everybody. Fire drill over it was caching
next. me speaking of speaking of Lb I'm in the throes of adding
lb wallet support to podcaster wallet.
Oh, fantastic. Because did you see that they just added
shipping to SoundCloud.
Oh, no. Yes.
I'm telling you. SoundCloud. We got to we got to get that
connection made because the people are gonna want it and
let's not get them in the habit of tipping.
That nobody actually works at SoundCloud though. It's all Ay
ay ay,
but we don't need them. We don't need their permission.
That's right. We don't have you don't need it. No,
please claim your feet here. And as we discussed, do you have a
music tracks in your feed, whatever the language is, click
Yes, your music medium equals music bit gets flipped. It's a
shame but you know, we got to help these fuckers because, you
know, disco Matic know what they called
dystopia disco Matic disco Matic that's the
new name just from now on disco Matic dystopia, you know, these
guys are hot and heavy on it, it's gonna happen. It's the same
as the hosting companies. It may even go a little bit faster, but
we have to put a little shim in there because of the music flag.
Ryan has sent me some links. That topic I was talking about
where you could like detect whether something is music or
audio, I mean, our speech automatically, like eight sent
me some stuff you totally can. That's a evidently well
trodden territory. Well, you know what I would love for you
to do it.
I would, I mean, I'd like to take a here, here's my idea. So
take the day, the weekly data database, the weekly John dump,
and dump, download it, mess around the weekly massive dump,
and dump and ghost runs through it because one of the things
contained in the massive dump is the lat the most recent
enclosure URL. So you can run through that run maybe hills a
lot to Mystic, you could crawl through that, and grab the URL
of every of each one of each enclosure, and then run the
analysis on it and see if it's music or speech. And then sort
of build a profile across the index of which, how many and
which podcasts are audio verse, or audio or speech versus music.
That would be a really good first crack at that, to see if
there's pockets and then union we will increment a counter. So
if it finds a music, podcasts, or enclosure, we increment a
counter on the host description so that we can say okay, there's
maybe by the end of this thing, there's 75,000 podcasts that
seemed to be music. And they're clustered with they're clustered
in these hosts maybe SoundCloud you know just topia whatever RSS
blue did I don't know if you saw RSS blue, fairly new hosting
company. They got music, the music tag or excuse me, the
medium tag is evidently baked into their their UI, and there's
quite a few music podcasts right out the gate. And
what are they doing for wallets?
They support the you know, putting in your value block. Oh,
is that I don't know. You get?
You get shuttled through. So
can I get to lb I think they're connected to lb.
So the only thing we need them. And I'm fine. Not at these you
without saying it. You don't want to add the shim to
podcaster wallet. You don't want to add the medium is music. I
know you don't.
I don't because it's so sketchy. Good because I don't know good.
Yeah,
good. We still need to change the language for someone who
wants to sign up for music. How do we get that done? Do we
change the exists? There? Again, I think if if people have to go
to a place called podcast or wallet to get their music in, I
think will fail. So it's purely perception may may help. How
about this? How about this? Maybe the way you find out how
much music is in there. That sounds like a pretty cool
project actually.
Sounds kind of fun.
And in the meantime, just like RSS blue. And in a way, like
fountain I would hope that someone would make an app where
you can actually do the onboarding. So here's your new
this is the new new music 2.0 app. And here's what it does.
And if you if you're an artist and you're either on the end if
you're here, here or here, claim your feed and and get your
wallet if if you're not with RSS Blue or whatever. So the honest
the onboarding would have is that what are says blue is doing
there, they're doing the same as fountain with us interacting
with the value block, or they're putting the block into the RSS
feed.
Looking right now, they're, they're putting the block into
the feed. And I think they may have done an integration with
Alby. But I'm not sure they may just have fields, I'm gonna have
to go back and look. Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's there, the
stuffs there.
Now, this is actually a good idea. So probably a good way to
kickstart this is if you're interested in doing that project
to find out what's in the system. Sure, and we and we mark
that up and say, okay, in you know, either temporary or
whatever, a special endpoint music flag experimental, then,
then then the app developers can do something, then they have
some content they can use. That's all we need. We need the
content that I don't care how we get it in there. If it's already
in there, we could find it, then I think we'll see the app. This
is the way to go. podcasts or wallet is such a fucking crutch.
I love it. But it's not the way to go. What fountain did is the
way to go? And then of course, hosting companies doing feeds
directly, totally the way to go. Okay,
yeah, now I'm down.
Because I've talked myself out of what I want. It's Fuck,
you're good day job.
Yeah, I can, I can push the mind of the meal. So we think I
really want the medium. I really want this music stuff to be
figured out prior to pre hackathon. Yeah, I agree. But
because that's going to be a celebration, you know, it's
gonna be nice people salivate to have to have more than to use.
So briefly, tell me what is the output of, of the system you
you're thinking of doing?
So in my head, what I was thinking is go day, Grunt
through the dump, get grab every grab every enclosure URL, and
it's the most recent one as of the time of the massive dump,
grab each enclosure URL, you'd have to be downloaded, and then
run an analysis on it using one of these tools. And then keep a
running count of which ones are music, and which, in which host,
which hosting provider it is. And then at the end of it, what
it would output is, here's how many podcasts had contain music
content. And which hosting companies are ones that contain
music content. Parallel to that it would also be outputting.
Each individual feed like you know, with the feed URL or the
participant make sure sure sure, sure, sure. So that we could go
back and mark them as music in the database directly.
Now we mark them permanently as music or some temp flag or
something so that we know, I think
I would flag it as music because because it's not going to hurt
it. It's not going to change the the podcast, it's not going to
change the API output in any
way. Yeah, it's just how the how the apps interpret that,
right? The only thing it would, the only way that the output of
the of the API would be affected is if you called if you called
the endpoint. If you made a call to the podcast by tag by tag
medium, or nose bucket, I can't remember the there's an API
endpoint that we made dish gives you back only music podcasts
that have declared the music medium that would now output all
those ones we flagged but nothing else about any of the
output would change. So it wouldn't have it wouldn't harm
anything. And and we would know with great with a great day a
great degree of confidence that these that these podcasts do, in
fact contain music material,
right? I love it. It
would be I love it. It would. It's a good interim for your if
we have a list to say, okay, these five podcast hosting
providers contain a lot of music content. We can then contact get
in touch with them directly and say, Hey, y'all got a bunch of
music on there? Why don't you declare the music medium tag?
Well, we already got it. Yep. Love it. Love it. All right,
Meeting adjourned. Till next week. Oh man,
I'm still I'm gonna do that. I'll do that after I finished
with the lb Parkchester wallet connector thing because the way
the way that's going is in the podcaster wallet dashboard, just
let you know it's like right now it has thinks voltage see thinks
voltage what was the was the other way along pay? No, not
Ellen pay. Oh Satoshi string thinks voltage Satoshi stream,
and then custom add your own custom node rice. So you can add
there'll be another one I'll add lb. And it'll be a connector,
you'll it'll kick you out to lb, you'll say Yeah, I'm good. You
know, I want to connect my wallet. And then it'll here's
a, here's a call back. So it would seem it would seem to me
that Al B, or Saturn could actually do that they could,
they should be able to onboard from their end too. So hey, look
at the sexy stats, you want that sign up here. And then they just
hit the back end without actually going to podcast or
wallet. And so you don't have to fill all that stuff out.
Yeah, so we did that for fountain and for Satoshi stream
they have Yeah, they have direct access.
Yeah, I think I'll be considered that.
Now it's up to the provider, who we do this for to do the valid
feed owner validation checking. They have to go through that
those hoops. We don't do okay. Okay, because we don't get a
chance to at
that point. Nor do we, because that's a huge pain in the ass.
Right. And this is another reason why we need we need to
make progress on the verify, verify tag. So because I want to
get out of this game, what uh, here's what I would love to do.
And this is across the entire index. This is not not just for
this use case, across the entire index, I would love to get rid
of email addresses, I don't want to hold anybody's email
addresses ever. And what that means is, when you sign up for
the API, you hold your it holds your email address, temporarily,
so that they can verify your identity. Then once you
verified, it takes your email address, and it hashes it into a
store and just stores the hash. Okay, so that when you go back
to login in the future, you're just logging in what you log in
with your email address and password hashes both of them not
just the password and compares it to the database that way,
that way we don't have and if you ever forget your password,
you're gonna have to just type your password your email address
in it'll again, do the hash. I don't think it affects anybody.
We can remove all the email addresses from our entire
database podcasts and and signups and podcasts or wallet
and all that stuff. I like because that way we don't ever
have to worry about the you know, any of this stuff like
GDPR and all this kind of junk. We don't have to worry about any
of that stuff. Because we
don't hold anything. And we don't need it really except for
that one function.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's really all the verification part
is the only thing we need it for. And I think we can do that
with just hashes. I'm fine with it.
All right. All right. Hello, Dortch Lyons. Hello,
Deutschland? Do you hear me?
Go? We've been going for like 30 minutes. We've already solved
like two major problems. Well, we're on a roll baby.
Elsa have some thoughts about stuff I've been reading and
seeing and hearing this week. Okay, from the podcast industry.
Seriously, favorite term, your favorite term?
Well, no, I've, I've I have clarity, I have a lot of
clarity.
This is the pod like to benefit from
the podcasts industry, I realized, is actually the
podcast industrial complex. And it's it's not it's not
dissimilar. It's really not dissimilar. It makes me think of
the military industrial complex is where I'm borrowing the word
from, of course. And the fact that people call it the
industry. I mean, in our industry, the industry is
sometimes interchangeable with space, space or community, which
I despise you know, this bullshit, I don't do this. It's
not that way. And, you know, when it kind of, you know, so
when we started this, Dave, you and I, just the two of us, just
the two of us. The two of us, yes. I was loving the air. You
know, with two things in mind. One is deep platforming is
bullshit. No, we're not going to have that. Actually, three
things two was, we need to do all the heavy lifting so
software developers can get in the game. And then we needed to
have a censorship resistant payment system, which also was
able to include everybody in the game in the flow, including the
developers. And I'm still very convinced that that is not an
insignificant driver. The fact that everybody receives that
there's potential for everyone to catch a piece of this. And
it's, it's a lot more fun when you share. And it's not just the
podcaster getting all the money, which is kind of what had
happened with the podcast industrial complex, and very
similar to have a term by the way, thank you very similar to
having consultants and lobbyists and governance boards, you know,
what we discovered, is there was this huge monolith of, of
interconnected pieces that called themselves the industry.
And then we're stagnant that when we saw centralization,
stagnation, worse, we saw, not the first not the second, maybe
the fourth try by Silicon Valley, in this case, Stockholm
Valley, to come in and capture podcasting, and we can own it
all. And you know, it's failed many times before. To a degree
where they're so brazen, they're like, Yeah, we don't I mean,
this RSS shit. So of course, RSS is the reason why this works.
And the cool thing about RSS was, you didn't need anybody's
permission, you just show up with your RSS feed and the
server and you plop it down. In general, you don't need anyone's
permission. Now, of course, we have a very nicely decentralized
hosting category of companies, all relatively small, medium
enterprises, you know, all started as a cottage industry,
and they serve their clients very well. And this is a very
small group, it's like pilots, you know, like helicopter
pilots, there's only so so many of them, but the people who are
in it, you know, the mechanics, the instructors, the flight
line, FBO. I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of people,
it's, you can call that an industry, community, whatever
you want to call it. But podcasting is unique, because
you really don't need anything or anybody. You don't really
even need money, just a little bit if just to host stuff. So,
as I'm reading, and, you know, there's many people I respect
and have known for going on two decades, listening to different
podcasts and how they're all processing, the hurt and the
shame of Podcast Movement. At first, I'm just like, holy crap.
Are we still talking about this? Are we still trying to,
to listen to each other and all this? I'm like, hold on a
second. And but here's what I keep hearing in this in these
conversations in these pieces. And I'm confused by it. You
know, we as an industry, interchange, community,
whatever, but industry, we have an obligation to lift unheard
voices. And I'm like, How can you not be heard in an open
system? What are you talking about? That everybody can be
heard? It's equal, not where it's not equal is in platforms,
you know? So is this about getting equal exposure and
Spotify? I mean, I've never, I mean, the times I've been on the
front page of Apple, I can count on half a hand. Seriously,
seriously. And but I've spent the time I did the grind and,
and here we are. So So initially, I was thinking, These
people are missing the point. Like, does that mean that we all
have to be on the same town square? This is what they say a
lot about Twitter? Well, it's the town square it's the public
square. No, no. To me, it's like we're in history that the whole
world or a whole city come together at one time on a square
it don't your you got your square and Chinatown you got
your square and Little Italy, you got the square and Brooklyn,
you know, all these all these different squares. And now we
can actually interconnect them. I thought these people are just
missing the point is like, what do you what do you tried to
raise up anybody can can get the same exposure. I was missing the
point. This is about who's in the relatively small money
square. And this is the key part of the military industrial
complex, where we literally have boards and and Starfleet
commands who decide, you know that equity is important and we
need more of this and we need to have more of these people again,
in an open system. I don't understand what what they're
talking about. Then it dawned on me it's it's who gets the money.
And I literally heard Oh, no, I read this today on pod news.
Someone did a an analysis of the podcast industry so again, the
podcast industrial complex, and it's like whoa, here's the
conclusion. White men run it you know and who they have serious X
am amused. So I'm looking at these like this. I heart
Spotify, Apple, Amazon, a caste Odyssey. You know what, fuck all
this? Yeah, absolutely. White men run that business. So now I
understand they're using the racial angle or inclusivity, the
DEI, you know, diversity, equity inclusion, to force people into
cutting up the pie and cutting other people in. And in my view,
and I don't think this is purposeful. But it's, it's very
normal for an, you know, I have no prob, I love people who serve
in the military. And there's also people I know, are
administrative in the military. And they all know it's a shit
show, and I don't hate them individually, but on mass, it's
a huge shit show. And that's what this is, only it's not as
much money as the military industrial complex. So that's
why I saw hundreds of consultants. And I was, I think
you sent me a link about this. This one consultant, you know,
who built up her business, you know, selling ads on podcast,
and then she's finally hit the big time. And she's gone to New
York. And you know, she, she goes and collects some, some
diverse people, and then goes to a corporate a corporation, and
says, Okay, I need $200,000 to produce this series. And now I
have like six episodes, and now my mind is like, oh, okay, we're
recreating Hollywood. Got it. And here's the only thing that
the podcast Industrial Complex has as a unique selling
proposition. brand safety and suitability. That's it, hey, we
can show you brand safety and suitability. Look at our hosts,
look at who's producing it. Look at the mix. How can that be
wrong? So all they're really doing this all they have as as
something extra? Is brand safety. It's you know, it's
like, it's a part of ESG. I even heard as I was listening and
reading, there's no talk of what then this came out of this whole
fracas with Ben Shapiro, now people talking about universal
labeling system for podcasts. So not just audiences, but
advertisers know what's inside.
Well, the nutrition label, yes,
yes. No, no. And that's all fine. I'm perfectly okay with
it. I'm not interested in it. I don't want to compete in it. I
find it sad that people are tricked into thinking they have
a shot in it. If you don't have the certain attributes, I think
you don't. It's a lot of people running after the same money.
And here's, here's the bad news. Because that's not bad. To me,
it's like a fine is, I really don't care. I have other things
to do with my life. Just don't call it the podcast industry.
It's the podcast industrial complex. But here's the problem,
the money ride is coming to an end, the free money, the Silicon
Valley money, it's over. And just That's how interest rates
work, the money is is is no longer going to flow the way it
used to talk to your people in marketing, advertising is drying
up. And it's not just the podcast industrial complex.
Advertising is advertising and marketing money is drying up
everywhere, particularly online. It doesn't mean that there's
less people advertising, although that is of course,
diminishing with economic circumstances. I mean, just as a
general question, I would love to see an analysis I was hoping
pod news may have I may have this. I would like to see how
are these dynamically inserted ads that multiple hosting
companies have implemented in the past few months? How are
they doing? I don't hear anything about it.
I never hear performance metrics on any of that. You hear
it about everybody else. And then we'll have $6 billion
running through podcasting in just a few short years. Is this
working? I don't believe it is. And that's why podcasts
industrial complex conferences are really money funnels. But
here's here's how I can prove to you that advertising online in
general is a problem. And podcasting is going to be the
first one to be cut off the list. And death definitely now
with this bullshit that went down at Podcast Movement. That's
kryptonite. It doesn't matter who was right who was wrong.
That's kryptonite to advertisers. That's why I
believe there's so much groveling from the P IC. They're
saying, oh, you know what? We're open to dialogue and we can all
get along and No, no, no, you're worried that advertisers are
going to walk away with you're honest with yourself about it or
not. I truly believe that I've been around a long time.
I've got clips to prove it. I brought receipts. Let's do
that. And then I'll give you the payoff. What's happening? How
about that?
Yeah. So Ed Ryan, if anybody hasn't seen his interview with a
think the guy's name is boring, Jeremy boring, which is
completely unfortunate name.
To some degree, yes.
Yeah. At Ryan's radio, he did a great interview with with the, I
guess he's the co founder or co owner of daily wire. And it was
good in the sense that I feel like it was very, there was two
sides to this guy. The one side was he was clearly being very
honest with his emotions. He was upset. I mean, he said a lot of
stuff. I mean, he was but he did not hold back in this interview
saying exactly what he thought about the whole situation. The
others, but there was another side of it. The other side of it
was, I feel like sort of a calculated truth, some
calculated phrasing, that makes me think that something has
changed. Where there could be lawsuits, or some sort of
seeking after damages for some of these things. PLAY CLIP one,
and we'll get into.
So I get on this call with one of the CO owners and, and you
know, I was fairly open minded going into the call, I thought,
you know, with a little luck, I'll get an apology with a
little luck, they'll take the tweet down. And maybe we can all
kind of get on, get on with our lives. And instead, as I
mentioned last night on daily wires backstage podcast, what I
got was just an incredibly disingenuous phone call in which
this gentleman told me that there was nothing remotely
political about their tweet, and that they were only actually
upset because they don't really want podcasters podcast talent,
being at Podcast Network, sorry, Podcast Movement, a conference
that exists for podcasters. So his argument was, this wasn't
political at all. You know, we were just surprised that Ben
showed up, we don't let talent show up. And some of our other
sponsors are angry because their talent wasn't invited. So I hope
you understand that it wasn't political. And that's all it
was. And, and I'll be honest, that I kind of choked up a
little bit, my voice broke, I can utterly adrenalized you have
to understand Ben Shapiro is my business partner. But Ben
Shapiro is also my friend and and to be lied to, to my face to
be told that a groveling apology that says they never should have
taken our money, that our content is dangerous, that our
very presence causes harm. You're going to tell me that
this isn't political. You're going to tell me that this is
Oh, we just don't like for talent, podcast talent to show
up at our podcast conference. The the audacity of it.
So, to me, there's two, there's those two parts of this.
There's, there's the I think he when he says talks about the
talent, we don't want the talent showing up. I think that's
legit. I think there's a legitimate side to that. I bet
you they don't. And the reason is, when Ben Shapiro walked in
the room, it was like, gosh, I mean, it's suck everybody to the
to the daily wire booth, even people who didn't like him. This
is
contrary to every conference I've ever been involved in. You
want Bill Gates working the floor walking the floor of
Comdex you want you
want it but you want all of them like this. I think people got
pissed because Shapiro showed up. And it sucked everybody to
the daily wire, including all the ad money and all that stuff.
It was like everybody, every other every other agency in the
room. saw all the color drain out is like Okay,
so you know, what do you Alright, so then why was I
allowed to walk around? Um, no, Ben Shapiro and my talented
people recognize me? Could I be polarized advertising?
I'm sorry, you don't take you're not you're not you don't take?
Well, then they made a calculation by giving him a
booth to start with
that when they said we didn't expect him to show up and that
was a problem. Okay,
I'll take it back. Yeah, so when Bill Gates walks the floor, walk
the floor of Comdex he was controlled by the Comdex people
they made sure that we're walking with Him they made you
know, Oh, yeah. Okay. It was an uncontrolled talent visit. Yes.
Uncontrolled talent. It is uncontrolled money sucking of
advertising to one side of the room
or just you know what it was? Oh my god. Dave, you've hit on this
is this is why there's two of us. So in addition to everything
I said that the actual event itself was at least partially
probably motivated by holy fuck balls. We can't have we can't
have our money you know hanging out with that. ochre, which is
kind of what it is, right? Yeah. Good analysis. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Hit clip hit. I think you understand now my clip, my clip
numbering scheme where I started with zero instead of one.
I played one. Okay, no, I played zero. I played zero.
You meant one. Yeah, hit number one hit now hit the actual
number one.
Sorry, man. But that's that's not very podcast like to have a
clip named zero binary,
binary.
They think that they're in the right. They think that they're
doing the right thing. They think that either on an
ideological level that Ben's presence does cause harm, which
is what they said, so I don't have to, I don't have to guess
that. That's what they think it's what they said, We're
dangerous. We cause harm just by being present, that we cause
pain that we'll be with you always, or it's just a
calculated business decision. In which case, it's even worse.
Candidly, the owner of Podcast Movement, who I spoke to twice,
told me that he shares my politics largely. It makes it
even worse in a calculated cowardly business decision to be
more afraid of the woke mob than you are of hearing your own
voice speak bigotry out into the world, even against people you
claim to agree with. Politically the whole thing is absolutely
disgusting.
You know, now that you framed it that way for me, Dave I now I'm
like, Man, you just yelling the wind about say this was about
money, bro. Y'all knew why you were there. You knew bu Ben
would press some flash with some some some money dudes. Yeah,
this makes sense. Now that's why they're all good. Well,
that clip right there. I think that's to me, the veiled. This
one slightly veiled phrasing of, you know what? You This was a
business decision. It wasn't honest. And you he talks a
little bit more in this interview about how the the
origin tweet, evidently I can't find it anymore. I wish somebody
would find this thing for me because I would enjoy looking at
it. The the original tweet that spawned this whole thing. And
I'm glad, by the way, I'm glad that we took some time to sort
of digest this new hot take. Because
you are so the opposite of what I view as a hot take.
That's what my wife calls me. But we, because I think we have
more clarity on it now. But it's because he said, I would love to
see this original tweet, because he mentioned something like, you
know, the podcast movie responded to this one tweet that
had non followers or something. Yeah, this is a real problem
that may be beginning to manifest itself with either this
event or just recently, where so you know, the social media
companies, Twitter and everybody have set themselves up with an
editorial role. They've done that over the past five years,
where they are now firmly established as editors of the
content that is contained on their platform. Once you
establish that you are in an editorial role. If you allow
things on your platform that has actual damage, like monetary
damages associated with it to a brand, whether it's a brand on
the advertising side, or brand on the advertising money
consumption side, it cuts both ways. brand safety goes in both
directions. Daily wire, it takes advertising, advertising from
whoever I don't listen to shows, but they take let's just say
they take advertising from Bank of America. Well, there's two
brands involved. There's Bank of America, and there's daily wire.
If anything on Twitter's platform, if they allow content
to stay up, that that is damaging to the brand of one or
the other. And it's shown that that content was malicious or
untruthful. That can be a real problem for not just for not
just Twitter, but the brands that are involved. Like there
can be monetary damages. I see that going bad quick. And if and
to me, that's what he was kind of hinting at hinting at is that
if you because he could play a play clip to that, which is
actually clip through which the only satisfactory resolution for
you with Podcast Movement at this point.
I mean, at this point, I don't know. Certainly nothing short of
deleting these bigoted tweets, apologizing for your bigotry
with the same at least the same level of self effacing criticism
and passion that you grovelled before the woke mob with I mean,
I would think that if you actually are going to give that
kind of five or six tweet apology, it should be for
something you actually did wrong. And it was not wrong to
let the sixth largest podcasting company in the country.
participate in your podcast conference, it was wrong to
express abject bigotry against speech against Ben Shapiro, and
to commit to Podcast Movement being a neutral conference. I
mean, that's been my stance since the very first time that I
spoke to anyone involved. That's what I've asked for. Today,
would it be enough? I don't know. Right? I mean, they've had
these tweets up there for so long now they've shown such
disrespect. They obviously don't care. I don't know if it would
be enough, but it would be a damn good start.
What do you think this means for Podcast Movement, the
conference, do you think it will have any impact on it, and you
can stop it that the point there is that, you know, he's really
focusing on you need to take these tweets down, they're
bigots, they're bigoted, they're defamatory. The angle he's
taking is that this causes them. This caused them damn real world
material damage. And that, that's what's going to happen.
I don't I mean, okay, so I know a little bit about Daly wires
operation. They don't have they also don't have big national
brands. I don't believe they have Bank of America. In fact,
famously, Harry's razor pulled their advertising from daily
wire and the Podcast Network. And that boring guy right away
said, Okay, I'm starting the boring shaver company was quite
a successful launch and PR campaign, I have no idea how
it's going now. They are. These are like, you know, Shapiro was
famous for segwaying into gold, you need to buy gold. These are
not, these are not big brand names. And that's what the
podcast industrial complex is after they're after the big the
big names, the big money, the big spots, that's where all the
money is you go big or go home. But if you're a podcaster, but
certainly if you're a podcast consultant, I gave some advice
in the last board meeting. It's like you can easily consult
people on value for value. And it may come in handy if you
start sharpening up those skills. Because I just It
started today. Now all of a sudden, I'm hearing Silicon
Valley people and lawmakers, congressmen and women talking
about the evil tick tock, tick tock has to be it's clearly a
surveillance machine from the CCP. And I'm like, hold on a
second. You're telling me now that suddenly there's consensus
about something orange man said. Because this is this is Trump's
thing. Like this stinks. And of course it does. Google. Of
course, meta with Instagram, they are shitting themselves,
the markets know it all the money. All the advertising money
is going to Tik Tok. It's all funneling there and it's highly
successful. It traps people It grabs them in the music business
is in their Spotify, it should also pay attention. Tick tock I
mean, he just some headlines have put a lot of them in the in
the shownotes. Forbes tiktoks takeover of marketing and
commerce in 2022. Google exec suggests here one is this from
TechCrunch. And this is from July, Google execs execs suggest
Instagram and Tiktok are eating into Google SCorp core products,
Search and Maps. People are searching on Tik Tok for a
restaurant and they're getting a cool tick tock video. I see so
it's heading into search. Of course we know Instagram has
issues. Now we get and this was the big news at the DEA
Conference, which is where it got my attention. The the CEO of
Axel Springer, huge media company said what do you say
tick tock should be banned in every democracy? Yeah, sure.
Eating his advertising dollar lunch. That's what's going on
here. Now, check this out. Google. This is Bloomberg,
Google and meta. Find video app success in India after Tik Tok
is banned. Oh, you don't say. And then finally, the FCC
commissioner. And I do not know I don't I looked and look at the
background of Brendan Carr says Tiktok serious national security
threat we have to take action. Well bullshit. First of all, I
know firsthand it's LexisNexis that does all the signups and
verification so you know pretty American. company that's in the
middle there
is a do that for tick tock there. Yeah, they do a different
networks. So it's not just all CCP. Although, is it any better?
No Oracle's in there, so okay, the CIA's in there. This is
about Silicon Valley losing their lunch. And with it, some
of the streamers are in trouble to the streaming platforms. So
the first thing to get cut from the budget is going to be that
complicated podcasting, because, you know, like, they got issues.
And as you know, there's we had some diversity fight, and I
don't really know, but yes, take them off the list. Let's double
down the buy in tick tock.
Yeah. Because that's, that's more the sure thing, of course,
is you stay away from the kryptonite, as you said,
and there's no you know, and, and, and the The Tick Tock algo
is so highly tuned for you. I mean, I don't know if you're, if
your kids have tick tock, but it's very addictive. It's really
a
very addict. I mean, they do have but I know
grown. Man, I know, adults were like, Oh, check this shit out on
tick tock
refused install that crap. I cannot and we
are a tick tock free home. So that
you will and that, just to add to what you said, in the
security world, this this past couple of weeks, there was a
tick tock, quote, unquote, breach. That still doesn't. It's
still not entirely clear. You know, people have come down and
said, Okay, well, this is a fake breach. I'm still not sure. I
mean, there's I don't know. But there was a suppose had like 2
billion record user breach. Oh, from tick tock. I mean, there
you're right. There's there's definitely some tick tock synth
sintered outrage going on right now.
And I'm sure that it's valid, but they're using that to get
rid of it because they are just anyone who's in marketing go
look around, let's, let's just be honest with each other.
That's what this is about. Shit. Tick tock is eating our lunch.
What do we have? Well, we have a brand safety and suitability.
that'll sell. Yeah, but you're, you're dynamically inserted ads,
I think the money's going to tick tock I just do. So luckily,
value for value. You're soaking in it right now. We don't need
any of this yet. We also don't need lists that we need to be
on. We don't need to be on wholeness, we we need loops, not
lists. Oh, that's a t shirt. Thank you. Feedback loops are
the key, use the payment mechanism for the messaging.
This is what works. Remember to ask loops, not lists. Lists are
unimportant. You want to you want to have a loop with your
audience. You want them to loop other people in, hopefully your
loop can connect to another loop. Like Rogen, I we connected
in the Rogen loop, even though he doesn't really do his loop.
He's loop de loop. Loop. I got lost in the loop edge. But you
know what I want, I'm saying there's like, it really does
work when you commit to it. People are lazy, they've been
hoodwinked into thinking you can go to a conference, and you'll
come back with ways to make money on advertising. No. And
there's no reason to most don't really deserve to make money.
Unless it is earned from a loop earn from your community, then
it's honest, it's sincere. It'll keep it keeps everybody in check
the whole system works.
Eric P just linked over to whitehouse.gov. Read Out of
White House listening session on tech platform accountability
through accountability September 8, it
was yesterday. Although tech platforms can help keep us
connected, create a vibrant marketplace of ideas and open up
new opportunities for bringing products to the world. They can
also divide us and wreak serious real world harms. Interesting.
So this must be
well they can and if you put a whole city into or a whole state
into one square and let everyone talks equally as loud, we'd be
massacre, of course to
provide one of the principles provide robust federal
protections for Americans privacy. There you go. There's
your anti tick tock. Protect our kids by putting in place even
stronger privacy and online protections for them. Yeah, this
is all anti tic
toc. Is this a? Is this just a report from the listening
session? This is a precursor to legislation because it can't be
executive order. It has to be legislation.
And this is the Meeting this is the meeting for the Masons the
breeding for the meeting. Okay, this,
this is the setup. Yeah,
remove number four remove special legal protections for
large tech platforms. But just
I just want people to realize the power that is being put into
place here. This is Silicon Valley. They know exactly what
they're doing. And they were completely new when Trump was
talking about CCP these people are insincere full of shit. They
want tick tock gone because tick tock is taking their money out
and Tik Tok is great at it. That's the problem.
Five is the increased transparency about platforms
algorithms and content moderation decisions. Algorithm.
Yep. Yeah, yes. As you go. Because the the pled detect it
right. Do you talk to you about tick tock? It's, they're in love
with algorithm. It's algo they've got the best algo Yeah,
you know, yeah. And it's eaten everybody's lunch and they don't
want. They don't they want to get rid of the algo. Or at least
expose it so everybody else can do it, too.
Exactly. I love it. Let's look at our own algo for a second.

listed on top of our weekly substack release. Is it possible
to list a producer and the role in a person tag? We tried
writing producers into the social interact tag, but besides
decide to post images and links to our T shirts there instead,
listen to exactly what the person tag is for.
Yeah, yeah, that's it, the person tag links to the podcast
taxonomy for the for the role and group. I'm trying to pull it
out. Now.
If you if you use sovereign feeds, just maybe just start a
test feed or import your existing one. You can go to cast
and you'll see and you can that's where you can enter
pictures of people on the show their roles, and it's very
extensive.
The full taxonomy list is on. You have creative director,
assistant director, executive producer producers, Senior

that stuff's in there. You just need the roll and the grin and
possibly the group.

of it right? Like, and then I think II and a lot of people
want me to go on Tim, Tim Poole. But I think Tim Poole doesn't
like me and probably rightly so because I made fun of him. Just
like
Steve Jobs pay you for for podcasts as well as when you
already bought it for me

Brian of London's Python example code with attitude helped me
make this booster grand possible. Oh feels like some
kind of hive mind and I dig it anyway. I encourage anyone that
isn't already listening to causality to visit engineer dot
network, because we analyze what went right and what went wrong.
And we discovered that many outcomes can be predicted
planned for and even prevented, and you to decide if the
listener that called me dreaming narrator was right or not. So
that's how you do weekly advertising on another.
And thanks for being on the show, man. It was fun. That was
a lot of fun.

Payment API's have now been refactored in boosts much
faster. Give it a try. Go podcasting.
Yeah, see, this is why this is why it didn't solicit 58 sat
boosts. You don't want to steer people in the wrong direction
when they're celebrating 100,000.

is yes. Integration test. Okay, it works. Yeah, those those are
pretty funny.
Just called boosting with testing with live money. Yeah.

podcasting better.
Thank you. And I'm so blown away by these 100,000 sat boosts. Me
too. Yeah. And it and it's not so much the amount of money it's
the fact that people put thought into it. Hey, I'm gonna do
something special a little extra. And you express it that
way and everybody's happy.
That's the numerology the cast ematic I think Franco I think he
had a bug in the last version, because he released it. And all
of a sudden, the boost amounts were only in hold dollar value,
or almost give me whole set value. So I can only do like
5200 or 5300 i
Oh, you couldn't do your 2112
I couldn't end it. Oh, man. It was like, I was like, no, no,
I've gone in in a fixed it.
I've gone stock to 10,000 just as a boost. 25,000 for
Bookstagram. And it's really brought my boosting back a bit.
Oh, that's a good idea. Just take
meaningful I really mean if I'm gonna send you something within

the beauty of it you get to determine and we get to continue

Thank you all very much. But not just a good group, a good
looking group and beautiful group, you could support us, as
with any of the aforementioned new podcast apps, also you can
go to podcast index.org Go down to the bottom Big Red donate
button if you want to give us Fiat fun coupons through Paypal
or credit card, you can use that there or scan the QR codes on
chain or lightning, of which no one has made any use this week,
or last week. And the week before we did have one. glad
everyone's said we should do that. Hey, man, you should put
up a pay on chain I'll pay on Joan,
can we just just eradicate the word should from podcasting? 2.0
It's gonna be hard.
It's gonna be hard. Anytime somebody says is something you
know, some blah, blah, blah. You should.
Yeah, that's when I tune out.
Yeah, I'm like, okay, whatever.
I was like, No, okay. No, I'm alright.
Do okay, there's an ISO in there it says Name That dude. I want
you to just play this. And I want you to tell me, do you
think this is?
Can you imagine? Can you imagine?
Gosh,
I don't know. Dave.
Does it sound like does it not sound exactly like Tom woods?
Can you imagine?
It has a bit of the cadence. It's not his tone or Tom. But I
also thought for a second and might be is it Justin, the guy
from disaffected?
No, this is that Jeremy boring guy. But he introduced sounded
so much like Tom woods to me when I was looking. Oh, it
seems like he would be a music guy at Mises Institute
libertarian grovel. Yeah. Yeah, you probably listened to Tom
woods. There you go. That was fine. That's fine.
I've got I've got a I've got a little bit here about what NPR
thinks. Thinks about podcasters. Oh, listen to that. Yes.
I'd love to. I'd love to listen to that. Yeah. Where is it? Oh,
NPR. I got you. Oh,
but then you also do get in podcasting. As was the case in
blogging, a certain amount of grifting. And people who stuff
is kind of gross as well as just people who aren't following. I
don't know the rules that you would want them to follow?
If we want them to follow the rules? Oh, yeah, you know, the
rules, you'd want
them to follow
it. What's so fun about the cancelling of podcasts is that
it's ineffective. He people go, Oh, I'm gonna take it off Apple,
Spotify, and maybe, but the only way to effectively really
effectively do it is to go to the host. And that's gonna be
fun. That's going to be fun in the future to see how hosts
really react when you're really under fire. We haven't seen that
yet. Because the people who do cancellation they're too stupid
to figure it out. I don't quite know. I mean, they, they'll send
us to get it out of the index. Take it down. Suddenly, but it
happens,
the hard hat this week. And I will read the words of heart and
I will read the words of hard hat. On the index. He said on
the index Mastodon, he said someone should be able to go to
a podcast website, like women maybe. And from the web edit
flayer generate a key. Sorry. I think he's I think he's
referring to your, your correct analysis that women you.
I'm sorry, ad sales department.
What the hell did y'all say? I think he is referring to your
correct assertion that women use they listen to podcasts on
websites, a lot of players. Yes. Okay. So let me let me rephrase.
Someone should be able to go to a podcast website, like women
maybe and from the embedded player generate a QR code which
they can scan with a lightning wallet to boost the podcast.
Oh, I like that too. That says I'd like that idea.
Yeah, so this is a valid use case for
Ellen. Ellen URL.
Eleanor LP. Yeah. But, but you don't want that. You don't want
that to be like the primary method like it. So this this led
me down the rabbit hole of should there be an alternative
method you just said should not I'm talking to the universe. Oh,
okay. Could Okay, could
could there be an alternative method in the value blog where
you could say, Okay, here's the primary method keys and here's
an old here's the alternative or sort of fallback method? Ellen,
your OP. Because you'd want to have both, sometimes under
certain situations. Maybe.
I don't know, man, the Ellen URL mafia just pissed me off with
this approach. I'm like, why would I help those guys with
anything? They don't care? They just want it in there. They're
not going to develop they're not going to do anything. I can do
anything.
And the lazy ass bitches we got. So like, if we're doing their
job for them. Yeah, exactly. And that just there's still ways
you're sure
you're sure that you'd have this that you know that okay, well,
all right. We're good to put it in. Man. We'll promote it. I
love I love what we put together Dave, the only person who has to
work as you unfortunately.
But when we tell and the lb paper the lb guys are
we this is what's so beautiful. You know, it's like hey, let's
do it. We'll we'll talk about it. We'll point people towards
it get it going. Where most people fall away with their
criticism or their shoulds.
Well, my Bhumi Michael from Albie, emailed me this morning
and said they have their their key send address format down. So
now everybody who has an lb address,
oh, this direct key sent out to US Customs?
Yeah, the will if if you use your day that get or like for me
b.com Okay, yeah, we can now resolve that to a tee send
address. sweet vanilla. And instead of a invoice
you get are both 11 Are we I love it. I love it.
In the it resolves to David get ab.com goes to get lb.com/dot
Well dash known slash key send slash Dave. And so it's not just
a test.
It's not just a text file that has the JSON in or something.
Yeah, exactly. And it's got. But the cool thing here is it's got
there and it's got the node and it's got the custom key custom
value for the routing.
Oh, cool. Excellent. So you can do it. Oh, nice.
So just pop that into your well that you know, the apps will
need to support it will need to know that exists. So if they see
a lightning address, they can look for that now. And love it a
cash ID or whatever.
I love it.
Yeah, I'm glad that he just did it. Yeah. Because if you go
petition the lab they're never gonna give you there. They're
just gonna talk that
man we got to be careful. These Germans man, you know, they may
be here to take over the world. And before wake up one day we're
speaking Deutsch. I thought the French were going to do it for a
minute there was Benjamin Ah, I know how podcasting. 2.0. And as
usual, the French and the Germans will go to war together.
No, yeah. The front and then the French will call us and we'll
get involved. The SSC. So the XMPP stuff? Yes. This needs to
be discussed.
Yeah. Yes. I think we need to bring some people on into the
board meeting to discuss this.
He think we need to bring I'm thinking Alex. Yes. Alex for
maybe Mitch because he's already doing Yeah, right. He's already
putting IRC into the interface. Hmm.
I think Alex and Mitch would. I think we need to bring in the
thing we need to bring in the XMPP. Committee.
Oh, yes. The XMPP committee. Tat the XMPP Task Force. Task Force
striking. No, no steering committee. Now like
striker team better. Guns.
Oh, yes. All right. It's like, Hey, welcome to the XMPP
StrikeForce here's your gear. And I've been tested for you. It
works fine. Perfect.
Mitch. Mitch safety.
Hey, get that get that booger finger off that trigger?
Well, because I've got it I'm clip heavy. Today I'm dominated
with clips here. I want to play this Is it because this is
relevant to this discussion, current play karmic capability
versus destination?
So we were talking about that back in the Doom and Quake days
about how do you wind up with an interconnected set of worlds
that you kind of visit from one to another. And as web pages
were becoming a thing, you start thinking about how what is the
interactive kind of 3d based equivalent of this? And there
were a lot of really bad takes you had like, verbal been I've
Virtual Reality markup languages. And there's aspects
like that, that that came from people saying, well, what would
what kind of capabilities should we develop to, to enable this,
and that kind of capability first, work has usually not
panned out very well. On the other hand, we have successful
games that started with things like Doom and Quake and
communities that formed around those and whether it was server
lists in the early days, or literal portaling between
different games, and then modern things that are on completely
different order of magnitude, like Minecraft and fortnight
that have 100 million plus users. I'm, you know, I still
think that that's the right way to go to build the metaverse is
you build something that's amazing that people love and
people wind up spending all their time in, because it's
awesome. And you expand the capabilities of that, even if
it's a very basic experience, as long as Minecraft is Minecraft
is amazing case study, and so many things were able to be done
with that is really enlightening. And there are
other cases where like, right now Roblox is basically a game
construction kit aimed at kids. And that was capability first
play, and it's achieving scale that's on the same order of
those things. So it's not impossible, but my preferred bet
would be you make something amazing that people love and you
make it better and better.
Yes, so he's talking about building to a capability versus
building to a destination, or a board or product. And I think
that's relevant to the work that we're doing, you know, here with
everybody, everybody building things here in podcasting. 2.0.
You know, he's, he's right, that there is a danger of building
towards a capability, you say, Okay, we want to be able to do
this thing. Now, let's build a spec. And then the products will
follow. And I think we've probably been more successful
than we otherwise would have. As a project. I agree. Yeah. Maybe
maybe because of luck and pent up demand. But there will be a
in the reason I'm bringing this up now is because when it comes
to chat, live chat. I think this will become a problem if we
don't do this. Right. And this is why I've been a little I've
been a little hesitant to even start, because what you have is
an existing, you have you don't have a lot of shows that do live
chat. Very, very few actually. Yeah, very few you. You've got
with Node and Node industry, ATP.
Now, let me say upfront that what I'm looking for is doing
this with video. Because that's where that's what people are
looking to bail from YouTube. Right. And there's, there's a
pent up demand for that. So existing. I mean, it there's
never really been this infrastructure. So we're
building something that really works for few existing shows
what I want to actually I think in the value for value model
works very well look at Spencer's stuff and blueberry
and I mean, no agenda stream in general, you know, like
everyone's boosting around the doing all kinds of stuff. That's
all based on a lot of live. There's there's a lot of shows
that take place live through no agenda stream. But the
opportunity is the people who are doing stuff live on YouTube,
they have stream yard, they want to add something, you know, and
that we have the feedback loop. If it was just a way to stream
to an app, I don't think we'd get any uptake because there's
the ability to have the booster grams. That's why this is I
think there's a perceived demand for this.
Yes, yeah. Yeah, I can see which I see what you're saying.
Because you you have so you need the whole thing. You need the
whole stack you do and the stack already exists in certain
places. The challenge is to package the stack in a way that
it's portable, where other people can do it without it
breaking their back, like technology wise and effort wise,
right. And so, if you but you also have to at the same time,
not build a whole new stack in force the exists Getting people
to adopt that stack are great. Like, because what you don't
want is to say, Okay, well, Fun Fact Friday, ATP, no agenda.
We're all going to do this thing. And we've built this
great thing. We've integrated XMPP into all the apps. So it's
great. I'll just y'all just all get rid of your IRC chat and
getting switched to XMPP. Correct. You don't want to do
that. You don't want yeah, that's built that's building to
a capability and not to an existing destination. pletely
agree.
And if we do good, no, don't go ahead, please, if we do both, is
generally where I think we've had success as a project.
Because people, there's always one part of podcasting, people
know that's built, it's this pushing things into the existing
stack, like, I'm thinking about the boost bot work. And
people using its people is driven by users driven by
applications.
Yeah, they're like, we already have this thing, we just want to
stick this, we just want to put this new thing into our existing
thing. To plug that in, right. And then there's this other
part, that would be sort of like Spurlock and Alex, who are
building to a capability and saying, okay, that thing that
already exists, doesn't scale, it's not going to do the thing
that you want it to do. And so we, if you want to go to the
next level, you need this other thing, and here's that thing,
we're gonna give it to you. And you really have, when they're
when both have existed, there's been a lot of success there. And
I think we can do the same thing, I think we have to do the
same thing with live chat, we have to support we have to, we
have to integrate the two XMPP, to me, is clearly superior to
IRC for many reasons, when it comes to being able to do multi
app chat, but also, you just, it's just not realistic to make
people switch off RC. So there needs to be there needs to be
gateways there or linkage there between the two, where they can
coexist. So that so that we have even the framework or mind a
mental model of how to design this live chat tag,
I completely agree. That's an to me, that's the only way to go.
From what I understand there's a way to bridge XMPP to IRC, and
what I don't find acceptable as well, you know, that's going to
be a pain in the ass for people with IRC servers, I think I
think you make that happen, you know, if you really want to do
this, then you'll figure out how to get the bridge in, I think it
was like, that should be the only concession for the IRC
users. You may have to you have to might have to snap into
bridge or something that shouldn't be, you know, we do it
once 90% of the people using it can do it.
And that's what I'm thinking about for the for the tag. So
you know, we ship the tag, at some point, we say, Okay, here's
the attributes, here's all the ways the tag is going to
describe where the IRC chat lives, or whatever this chat is,
you know, whatever this thing is, where it lives in then, if
it's IRC, there's also this recommendation that says, Okay,
now go, you know, you need an XMPP bridge. Here it is. Yeah,
and you can plug that in, and you're good. You're then you're
good to go. Love, love. Yeah, it can't just be the tag. But we
also have to know what the other thing what the other component
is, is going to be before we can create the tag because otherwise
you'll have you'll have fast implement the tag. Yeah.
Sounds good. Right, you got me you got me. 100% on that 100 was

That was easier. That's all it was?
No, not at all. No, no, ma'am. After after, you know, have we
been together? 35 years, I think. I think we figured out
you know, we know how to work with each other.
You know, all my favorite recipes, shall we?
Should we call this? This meeting adjourned?
I've got an I've got a nice so I don't know. It'd be a
disappointment.
After that jolly old punch line. Probably. Let's see. What do you
