Tuesday, June 25th, 2013. This episode topic is about “The YouTubeization of Video Podcasting” and the birth of an animal pet video podcasting star “Lil Bub” the cat that has achieved 212,000 YouTube views within only 4 days release of the Premiere episode of “Lil Bub’s Big Show”. I am seeing many new video podcasts coming from Revision 3 that are redistributing successful YouTube shows as podcasts. I also visit my backyard greenhouse to get an Aquaponics farming update. My custom built system is up and operational now with flowing water and leafy plants already growing. Hear my visit to the greenhouse to get the dramatic water flow play by play. Links:

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.080
This is episode six of my Digital Life show for

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.800
June twenty fifth, twenty thirteen. I'm Rob Greenley and thank

3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.000
you for downloading or just clicking play from my website

4
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:15.800
from all over the world. My focus this week is

5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.920
YouTube content, good video podcast content? Or are we seeing

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.160
the youtubeization of video podcasting? Is this a good or

7
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.079
bad trend? Or is it all good? I'll get into

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.920
that later in the show. The other topic this week

9
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.320
is the birth of an animal pet podcasting star is

10
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.200
happening this week and I will dive into that as well.

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.840
And the other last two things. I'm going to follow

12
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.679
up on my backyard aquaponics project as I go back

13
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.840
into the greenhouse for a report later in the show.

14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.880
And lastly we'll hear some show comments from Sean and

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.479
Jim So. I can be reached at Rob at Rob

content area for a Windows Phone and Zoom at Microsoft.

20
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.400
And if you have a podcast and you'd like to

21
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.640
get that added to the catalog, please send me an

22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.480
email to Podcasts and that's with an s at Microsoft

23
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.079
dot com. Well, let's dive into the topics that I

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.799
have for this week. We are seeing the birth of

25
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.760
an animal pet podcasting superstar. That's happening. The launch of

26
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.239
a Little Bub show series from Revision three in Discovery

27
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.760
was launched this past week. The first episode was only

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.560
about a minute and forty four seconds long, but it

29
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.640
was definitely awe inspiring. There's no question about it. You

30
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.920
should definitely go check it out. The name of the

31
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.120
show is Lil Bub and that's l Il Space Bub.

32
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:03.040
It's basically a Catually, it's had some great success on YouTube.

33
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.039
And what Revision III decided to do since this cat

34
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.520
is so cute and cuddly and has an army of

35
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.199
loyal fans, that they figured they would create a show

36
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.439
on their network that focused on the life of this cat.

37
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.000
And I guess this cat won the Best Cat on

38
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.080
the Internet award. I guess it was through some friskies

39
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.960
or a whiskas contest online. I guess the first version

40
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.639
of this show, it was basically like a preview episode.

41
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.479
It wasn't even a full show. Garnered about two hundred

42
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.680
and twelve thousand views and four days on YouTube, and

43
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.000
his page on YouTube already has thirty four thousand followers.

44
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.080
This cat is a little unusual. I guess it has

45
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.800
quite a few birth defects. I mean, you should definitely

46
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.520
go to the about this cat and read up. He

47
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.360
has shorter than normal legs and kind of a shorter

48
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.439
jaw than what's normal, and he's just kind of like

49
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.719
a very tiny cat that looks really really cute and

50
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.080
has his tongue is always sticking out. So anyway, I

51
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.879
think this is kind of a unique moment in the

52
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.680
podcast area, and I just wanted to let you all

53
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.639
know about it because it definitely got my attention when

54
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.759
I watched this first episode. We may be seeing the

55
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.479
birth of an animal pet podcasting superstar here, so definitely

56
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:29.719
go check it out. Then, I also wanted to do

57
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.639
a follow up update on my episode one of this show.

58
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.960
My aquaponic system is up and fully operational, and I

59
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.000
wanted to give a little greenhouse report from in the

60
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.520
greenhouse of the status of this It won't be too long,

61
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.919
but I just wanted to give you an update from

62
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.879
inside the greenhouse. So let's go ahead and play that

63
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.240
well as you can hear. That is the sound of

64
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:07.479
bubbling water and flowing water. And I have the aquaponics

65
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.400
system that is set up in my backyard up and operational,

66
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.639
and things are happening, and I do have some produce

67
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.680
starting to grow in here. But over the last week

68
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.199
I was able to get water into the system and

69
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.839
get it up and running. I actually gave a report

70
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:31.480
a couple of weeks ago on the status of the

71
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.319
aquaponic system in my backyard and just wanted to do

72
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.000
a follow up with it. Actually, I'm standing inside of

73
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.439
the greenhouse right now, and things are flowing. I have

74
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:50.839
two what's called media grow beds, which are comprised of

75
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:57.160
basically little pummus shaped balls, and the water just flows

76
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:03.240
through those rips down into what's called deep water culture

77
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.480
raft beds, which are basically two So I have two

78
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.199
media grow beds that are about three feet long, each

79
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.639
one of them by maybe almost two feet wide. And

80
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.199
then I have a fish tank that sits underneath those

81
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.920
grow beds that's about five feet long by about three

82
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.839
feet tall, and that's where the fish actually live and

83
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.639
they poop and do their thing and live their lives

84
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:37.120
inside of that tank and create fertilizer or the complete

85
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:41.000
system that will grow lettuces and tomatoes and whatever we

86
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.480
want to grow in here. It's basically a dirtless a

87
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:51.079
dirt less growing system that just uses flowing water and

88
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.279
waste that's generated by fish. It's a complete natural process.

89
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.600
And so the water runs up into these media grow

90
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.199
beds that sits on top of the fish tank, and

91
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.519
water flows through those and falls down into these what's

92
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.240
called these deep water rafts, which I started to mention there.

93
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:21.120
They're basically long, basically tanks that are about a foot tall.

94
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.439
They're about five feet long by a foot tall, and

95
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.079
they have like a piece of foam that actually sits

96
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.839
on top with holes grilled in the foam, and that's

97
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.720
where the plants grow and their roots just dangle into

98
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.680
the water. So the water provides all of the nutrients

99
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.959
and oxygen that the plant needs to grow and thrive.

100
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.040
And it's actually a system that will grow produce a

101
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.199
lot faster than growing in dirt because it gives the

102
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.439
plant all the nutrients that it needs to thrive. And

103
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.160
it's inside of a greenhouse. I have, you know, fairly

104
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.279
controlled temperature. It's warmer in here, it's protected from the elements,

105
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.839
and I'll actually post a photograph of this system as

106
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:16.439
part of this blog post and this podcast, so you

107
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.800
can actually see what it looks like. Actually, I'll probably

108
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.279
even try and get up a video as well so

109
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.439
you can actually see how it works as well. But

110
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:29.079
it's actually pretty neat. I have grill lights that are above,

111
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.040
and I also have a fish tank heater that keeps

112
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.360
the temperature of the fish tank at a fairly constant temperature,

113
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.879
though it's summertime in the Northwest and it can get

114
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.000
a little warm up here. But I just wanted to

115
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.079
give a little report from inside of the greenhouse again,

116
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.439
an update, and I appreciate you listening to my podcast.

117
00:07:52.920 --> 00:08:08.279
So I'm going to go out with the sound of water. Well,

118
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.839
it's always fun to take this show out into the

119
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.680
real world and hear the sounds of the real world

120
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.399
life out there. And it's always soothing to hear the

121
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.720
sound of flowing water and bubbling things. So the acoponic

122
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:29.680
system is in the process of cycling. From a biology perspective,

123
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:34.399
I'm basically doing a what's called a fishless cycling of

124
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:39.960
the biofiltration in the system, so I can add fish

125
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.600
later and not have a possibility of killing off any

126
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.279
fish in the cycling process. Basically, every aquarium or tank

127
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.919
that you have, you know that you would buy or

128
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.600
have fish in, has to go through this process. And

129
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.399
this is just on a much bigger scale. I've got

130
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.279
probably three or four hundred gallons of water in this

131
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.840
whole system, so it takes a little bit of a

132
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.440
process to go through. And I'm going through and doing

133
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.679
water tests and testing the chemistry of the water. And

134
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.639
then we're also in the process of trying to figure

135
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.799
out what plants we want to grow in the in

136
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.759
the acaponic system. We're leaning towards pretty much starting out

137
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.519
with like a romine and fancy lettuces and things like that,

138
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.399
but we may branch out and get into egg plant

139
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.440
and do other types of things. And I'll definitely bring

140
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.919
a quick update to that here, and I also I'll

141
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:37.200
post a video to my blog of the visual portion

142
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.600
of a tour. My next concern with the acoponic system

143
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.279
is my tank water levels and having a pump shut

144
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.639
off system, so if I ever have a pump failure

145
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.600
or a water overflow situation that the system will automatically

146
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.840
shut down. I don't currently have that right now. And

147
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:02.000
then also I wanted to add sometional kind of insulation

148
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:04.559
in the greenhouse for the winter up here in the Northwest,

149
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.279
it gets a little cold. So and definitely go look

150
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.200
for my video tour that I'll post on my website

151
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.639
at Rob Greenley dot com. So definitely check that out

152
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.679
if you have an interest in a backyard aquaponics system,

153
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.360
which is cool but pretty complex to actually deploy in

154
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.039
the real world. So let's dive into my main topic

155
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.480
of this week, and it really does get back to

156
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.840
this topic with a little bubb and is a YouTube

157
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:38.720
video series going to be successful as a podcast? And

158
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.240
I think it is an interesting question. It's one that

159
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.600
I've posed before and it really, I guess maybe gets

160
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.360
back to and this bigger discussion about podcasting is just

161
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.679
another form of distribution for any kind of media, right,

162
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.399
So if you create a show, it can be a

163
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.200
minute long, or two minutes long, or five minutes long,

164
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.480
or an hour and a half long, like my last

165
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.240
week's podcast episode was an hour and a half long.

166
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.039
I think that there's different expectations in the YouTube area

167
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.840
versus video podcasting, or at least it has been in

168
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.639
the past, and we may be seeing kind of a

169
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.039
transition happening right now, though I do have to say

170
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.039
that on the video podcasting side, short form videos have

171
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:22.279
been around for a long time in the video podcasting area,

172
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.279
but I do think that the video podcast side has

173
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.399
tended to, at least from the past anyway, has tended

174
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.559
towards being a little bit more TV like, a little

175
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.799
longer form content. It caters to a little bit older

176
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:39.759
audience than what you typically see on YouTube from a

177
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.240
a serialized show type of thing, which tends to be

178
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.600
a lot shorter. It tends to be, you know, a

179
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.120
person that's sitting in front of a webcam and just

180
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.000
talking to their audience and doing that kind of thing,

181
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.799
where video podcasts have tended to be more TV like content,

182
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:59.360
a little bit longer form. So I think you have

183
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.879
this view that a Revision III is looking at this

184
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.840
a little bub series as being you know, we're making

185
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:11.120
it really for YouTube, because that's the YouTube consumption paradigm,

186
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.080
is short form personality driven content, and they're just putting

187
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.679
it out as a video podcast to build on that success.

188
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.200
I guess that may not be entirely the case, So

189
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.679
that that's the impression that I'm getting, is that the

190
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.480
programming that I'm seeing from video podcasters out there are

191
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:31.120
tending to cater a little more to the YouTube distribution.

192
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:34.759
But I think that this podcast and many others that

193
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.720
are being put out by kind of just content creators,

194
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.639
can be successful in both areas. But I think that

195
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.840
keeping it short, like a minute and a half, maybe

196
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.320
too short for success in the video podcast area. I

197
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.679
just think that the expectation is that the viewers want

198
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.879
a little more value for the commitment that they have

199
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.320
to make to get a video podcast, as opposed to YouTube,

200
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.240
where it really doesn't take a lot of commitment to

201
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.639
consume content. On YouTube, you just click a play button.

202
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.440
Or we're on the video podcasting side, you typically have

203
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.120
you know, you subscribe and you it's a little more

204
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.200
difficult to find the content and that kind of stuff.

205
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.399
The target audiences for I wanted to draw a little

206
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.360
bit more of a demographic kind of profile here. The

207
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.600
video podcast audiences tend to skew towards thirty plus around age.

208
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.200
The YouTube tends to be less than thirty, and I

209
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.799
do think that that drives some expectations, though I think

210
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.759
depending on the content, it can certainly appeal to a

211
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.080
very wide range of ages, though I think I have

212
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.759
to couch this by saying that video podcasts are being

213
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.720
consumed more and more on mobile devices, which tends to

214
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:47.000
be a little shorter form content, so you know, it

215
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.879
may be okay for short form YouTube type content to

216
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:55.720
make it over to video podcasting as another distribution method

217
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.679
for those shows. So I think that it's very possible

218
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.600
for those shows to be success full in both size.

219
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.840
Though I do think that podcasts just in general is

220
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.480
a domain that's starting to really be dominated by audio

221
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.600
and on demand radio, and I think that will be

222
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.360
the type of content that will continue and flourish in

223
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.080
the podcast area, where a video side will always be

224
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.399
kind of a sideline player. One other kind of twist

225
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.559
of this too is c net TV has a show

226
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.600
called It's The Always On Show with Molly Wood. This

227
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.120
started out as a video podcast and a streaming show

228
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.399
on c Net's website, but if you go watch it now,

229
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.799
it's trying to become a real TV show. It has

230
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:43.240
basically breaks that are perfect for the insertion of TV

231
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.039
like ads, and I think it definitely mirrors the production

232
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.120
model of a regular broadcast TV show, which may be

233
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.559
where they're trying to go with that show, and it

234
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.480
may wind up on a CBS affiliate or something like that,

235
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.159
or on Saturdays or something here down the line. So

236
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.840
that's a wrap on my main topic for the show.

237
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.840
This week, it's going to be a little bit shorter

238
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.480
show than what we've had the last couple of weeks

239
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.639
because I had conversations with other folks on the show.

240
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.480
That's not going to be the case this week. But

241
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.600
next week, I definitely want to dive a little deeper

242
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.399
into the global podcasting topic and we'll be hopefully speaking

243
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.879
with some other folks overseas, you know, about those trends

244
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.080
what I'm seeing there to dive a little deeper into

245
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.639
that topic. So let's move on to talk about the

246
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.559
comments that I got from last week's show. Didn't get

247
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.960
a lot of comments about last week's show, and I

248
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.679
think we're kind of at the beginning of that topic

249
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.480
discussion out there. But I did get a comment from Sean,

250
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:49.879
who is associated with a website called no market dot org.

251
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:53.360
And Sean says, thanks for the information on the leaf,

252
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:56.240
because I did talk about my niece on leaf in

253
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.360
the last week's show. Yeah, he says, thanks for the

254
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.600
information on the leaf. Rob, We're probably still a few

255
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.240
years off from a new vehicle purchase, but my wife

256
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.039
and I are seriously considering going with the electric car

257
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.240
route for our next car. Thanks Sean for the comment.

258
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.480
I think it's a that's a wise decision to consider

259
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.200
your next car as being an electric car. I think

260
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:21.240
it's a it's a smart way to go as you

261
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.440
look into the future, and I think the increasing focus

262
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.960
on climate change and and what's happening around our CO

263
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.559
two emissions, I think it's an important move that all

264
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.559
of us need to be to be considering in the future.

265
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.840
And I appreciate that comment and that consideration. I would

266
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.480
love to hear more comments from listeners here about the

267
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.759
whole topic of the globalization of podcasting. I think it

268
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.200
be great, And if you do, go to the site

269
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.039
and make a comment about that, I'll definitely talk about

270
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:54.120
it on the show and we can keep that topic going.

271
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.080
So anyway. I also got a audio comment last week

272
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.519
from Jim Munchback from Imake Your Money Count dot com podcast,

273
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.480
and let's play his audio message they sent me. He

274
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.519
sent me on an MP three file, and let's listen

275
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:11.519
to it right now.

276
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.160
