Flight Attendant Accused of Smuggling Animals An American Airlines flight attendant is taking legal action to clear her name after being accused of hiding rats in her underwear and sneaking them onto a plane. Louann Giambattista has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages, claiming the accusations have left her with "debilitating anxiety." Giambattista's problems began last year when one of her American Airlines co-workers allegedly noticed an unusual bulge in the admitted animal lover's pocket. Listen Now Don't Kiss The Lions! That's the lesson for a Canadian teenager who was mauled by a lion in South Africa. Lauren Fagen was attempting to kiss the fur of a caged male lion at a wildlife rehabilitation center. Fagen says she's lucky to be alive.  She'll be out of the hospital next week. Listen Now Dog Owners Are In The Majority In The U.S. According to the latest American Pets Poll, 52% prefer pups as pets, while just 21% would rather have a cat.

Dr. Debbie becomes concerned when a listener calls in with 11 dogs. By all outward appearances, this pet lover is out-of-control and unable to care for so many animals. For some, this crosses the line from animal care to animal abuse and into the world of mental and psychiatric problems. Listen Now Taming Aggressiveness After many dog maulings and attacks, the owner always says they never expected their dog to be so aggressive. "He's the nicest, friendliest dog I've ever known - I don't understand what happened." Alan Kabel understands a dog's mind, and he'll tell you why Fido gets mad.

The untold story of New Zealand's mass timber revolution unfolds as architectural designer Bernie from RM Designs and structural engineer Julian from ENGCO share their remarkable 10-year journey pioneering sustainable construction methods. What began as a response to the challenges of post-earthquake Christchurch has evolved into over 50 successful projects that demonstrate how thoughtful collaboration can transform an industry.Their partnership reveals a refreshing counterpoint to the stereotypical architect-engineer rivalry. Instead, they've embraced a "no one of us is as smart as all of us" philosophy that brings contractors, manufacturers, and consultants to the table from day one. This early collaboration has been their secret weapon, allowing them to optimize designs for constructability while solving complex problems around acoustics, fire safety, and structural efficiency in mass timber buildings.The conversation takes us through their breakthrough project—the Bealey Backpackers—where they reduced foundation costs from 20% to just 7-8% of the budget by leveraging timber's lightweight properties. We hear how their work with Housing New Zealand became a watershed moment, as they meticulously documented mass timber's advantages against traditional construction across more than 20 performance indicators. From three-story walk-ups completed in just 8.5 months to innovative projects like the Pounamu Pathway with its distinctive "America's Cup sail" design, their work spans everyday residential buildings to iconic cultural landmarks.What makes this episode particularly valuable is their honest assessment of challenges facing mass timber adoption. Despite proven successes, every project still requires alternative solution documentation due to building code limitations. They've also evolved from timber purism to embrace hybrid approaches that pragmatically combine materials for optimal performance. Their parting wisdom? Understanding manufacturing capabilities from the outset is crucial—know what can be built before designing it.Whether you're an architect, engineer, builder, or simply passionate about sustainable construction, this conversation offers invaluable insights from pioneers who've learned through trial and error so you don't have to.

This time, we tackle the solo works of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (aka Steely Dan), and to do that, I brought on someone new to talk about them, Mr. Andy Schaal.Andy and me discussed Fagen's The NIghtfly, Kamakiriad, Morph The Cat, and Sunken Condos, as well as Becker's 11 Tracks Of Whack and Circus Money.  A lot of fun was had as we discussed the musical and lyrical quirkiness of the solo works of the duo who comprised Steely Dan.  There are some great songs within these works and any fan of music would be advised to listen and check these out.

From the hypnotic grooves of “Black Cow” to contributions from jazz legends Wayne Shorter, Steve Gadd, and Victor Feldman, Steely Dan's 1977 masterpiece Aja reigns amongst the best—and best-produced—albums of all time. In this episode, Peter and Adam break down Fagen and Becker's jazz-infused harmonies, their precision recording process, and the album's audiophile-worthy engineering. Tune in for stories, stem breakdowns, and a brand new segment where Kaleb Kirby and Bob DeBoo join us to play through Aja hits. Whether you're a Steely Dan devotee or just here for the yacht-rock controversy, get ready to kick off the new YHI season with one of the 70s' most iconic sonic journeys.Try OS Membership today! → https://osjazz.link/aboutLooking to drop a question?

Episode 233 – The Defiant Legacy of David Fagen** Welcome back to *Trey's Table*, the podcast where we explore the rich tapestry of African American history, politics, and culture. In **Episode 233**, we dive into the incredible and often overlooked story of **David Fagen**, the Black American soldier who defected during the Philippine-American War and became a captain in the Philippine revolutionary army. ### Who Was David Fagen? David Fagen was born in Tampa, Florida, around 1875. Like many African Americans of his time, he enlisted in the U.S. Army seeking opportunity and stability. He served in the **24th Infantry Regiment**, an all-Black unit, during the Spanish-American War. But when his regiment was sent to the Philippines to fight in the Philippine-American War, Fagen's story took a dramatic turn. The Philippine-American War (1899–1902) was a brutal conflict between the United States and Filipino revolutionaries fighting for independence. For Black soldiers like Fagen, this war posed a moral dilemma. They were fighting for a country that denied them basic rights at home, while also being asked to suppress another people of color fighting for their freedom. This tension would ultimately shape Fagen's decision to defect. ### The Defection That Shook the U.S. Army In November 1899, David Fagen made history by deserting the U.S. Army and joining the Filipino revolutionary forces, known as the *Katipunan*. His defection wasn't just an act of desertion—it was an act of defiance. Fagen quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a captain in the revolutionary army and leading guerrilla attacks against U.S. forces. Fagen's decision to defect was likely influenced by the racism he experienced in the U.S. military and a sense of solidarity with the Filipino people. His story is a powerful reminder of the global connections between struggles for freedom and equality. ### A Legacy of Resistance David Fagen's story doesn't have a clear ending. In 1901, reports claimed he was killed, and his head was delivered to U.S. forces as proof. However, some historians believe Fagen may have faked his death to escape the war and start a new life. Regardless of how his story ended, Fagen's legacy lives on as a symbol of resistance and solidarity. ### Why David Fagen's Story Matters Today David Fagen's story challenges us to think critically about the intersections of race, identity, and power. It reminds us that history is full of unsung heroes—people whose actions defy the status quo and inspire us to think differently about the world. In this episode, we explore Fagen's life, his decision to defect, and the broader implications of his story. It's a tale of courage, defiance, and the enduring fight for justice. --- **Listen to Episode 233 Now** If you haven't already, tune in to **Episode 233** of *Trey's Table* to hear the full story of David Fagen.

Here comes that Santa Ana wind again, blowing us right into the slightly skewed world of Steely Dan.It was never a question whether Strong Songs would do a Steely Dan episode, it was more a question of which song to focus on. In the end, Kirk chose "Babylon Sisters," a culmination of the band's incredible 1970s run that exemplifies Fagen and Becker's brand of pristine, laser-focused groove. It's also arguably the definitive recording of Bernard Purdie's signature Purdie Shuffle.Written by: Walter Becker and Donald FagenAlbum: Gaucho (1980)Listen/Buy: Apple Music | Amazon | SpotifyALSO FEATURED/DISCUSSED:“Sloop John B,” Bahamian folk song as recorded by The Beach Boys on Pet Sounds, 1966“Papa Was a Rollin' Stone” by The Temptations from Law of the Land, 1972“Cousin Dupree” by Becker/Fagen from Two Against Nature, 2000“Reelin' in the years” by Donald Fagen from Can't Buy a Thrill, 1972“Rikki Don't Lose That Number” by Fagen/Becker from Prezel Logic, 1974“Black Friday” by Becker/Fagen from Katy Lied, 1975"Peg," "Aja," and "Home at Last" by Becker/Fagen from Aja, 1977“Sing Sing Sing (With a Swing)” by Louis Prima performed by the Benny Goodman Orchestra, 1936“Cissy Strut” by The Meters from The Meters, 1969"Rosanna" by David Paich as recorded by Toto on Toto IV, with Jeff Porcaro on drums (and Tom Scott on alto sax!)Rob Brown's Purdie Shuffle tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g41Ab8iDaD0OUTRO SOLOIST: Kyle MolitorKyle is a Portland-based trombonist who plays in all sorts of bands, and was also featured on the year three Strong Songs theme msuic.

Today's episode is on "Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary", a 2024 MAX/Music Box documentary about the smooth sounds coming out of LA's finest music studios in the late 70s & early 80s. We're joined by the director of the film, Garret Price. Garret previously joined us to discuss his 2021 documentary "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage". As you'll hear, this one is way mellower but no less compelling. The movie features luminaries from the era such as Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, various members of Toto, and (sort of) Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, as well as contemporary musicians who are inspired by the genre. Also included are the creators of the mid-2000s Yacht Rock webseries that ended up defining "Yacht Rock" as a thing. Garret tells us how the movie came together thanks to a surprising pair of roommates, shares the real story behind the Fagen encounter, and happily engages in the time-honored "What is Yacht Rock?" debate.

In this episode, guest co-host Jeff Harris (Behind The Grooves) and me explore the musical enigma known as Steely Dan!  And for the record, Steely Dan is a group, not just one guy.A group that defies easy categorization, as they mix rock, jazz, pop, funk, and lyrics that are sometimes inscrutable, but always interesting.  Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were two friends who met in college and set about writing songs that were an arty blend of their many musical and literary influences.We explore the original era of Steely Dan, spanning 1972-1980.  We delve into each album, the songs, the stories, the many musicians who helped Becker and Fagen realize their esoteric musical visions and ultimately, why we love these albums so much.  We try and shed some light on what Steely Dan was all about.Check out Jeff Harris's Behind The Grooves music blog: https://www.patreon.com/behindthegrooves/about?fbclid=IwAR3TFDb9hvywTPXcYlTaD5OgTloCjDHcGYJzOSG4uh-hDkd-OzfhvXkJHGM

En la fotografía a blanco y negro del disco se ve a un hombre en mangas de camisa y con corbata fina. Está sentado frente a un micrófono en una habitación que parece un sótano. En la pared hay un reloj inmenso y una carpeta con pinza. En la mesa, junto al micrófono, se ve un cenicero medio vacío, a su lado unas cerillas y un paquete. Mas allá hay un tocadiscos. La imagen es misteriosa, inquietante, hermosa. Arriba, con letra firme en color azul se le un nombre y un título. Donald Fagen. The Nightfly.Tras media vida junto a Steely Dan, Donald Fagen grabó un disco en solitario. Un disco extraño, seductor. Nocturno y algo oscuro. En aquellas canciones, Fagen miraba con nostalgia a su infancia, a esos años 50 atenazados por el desastre nuclear y la Guerra Fría. Pero ese poso y esa mirada se van desarrollando a lo largo del disco en unas letras complejas que Fagen tardó ocho meses en terminar.Aquel álbum poderoso fue disco de oro a comienzos de los años ochenta, en plena era de las estrellas del pop. Aquel logro resultó totalmente inesperado. Fagen no lo buscaba ni lo anhelaba. Él, que se había calificado de esnob del jazz, había triunfado conjugando pop y jazz con enorme maestría en una grabación compleja. Fagen tardó casi un año en dar por concluido el disco y después entró en una profunda crisis personal.Donald Fagen no volvió a grabar un disco en 12 años. Su historia, como su música, resulta hipnótica. Hoy queremos recordar este The Nightfly, un trabajo que recorremos de la mano del periodista Fernando Neira y con los reportajes de Lucía Taboada.

Diese Podcast-Folge ist etwas ganz Besonderes: Es ist nämlich die 250. Folge unserer SWR1 Meilensteine. Dafür haben wir uns natürlich ein spezielles Album herausgesucht. Es geht um Steely Dan's Album "Pretzel Logic". Das kulinarisch klingende Album "Pretzel Logic" – übersetzt: "verdrehte Logik" – ist das dritte Album von Steely Dan. Gleichzeitig ist es auch die Platte mit dem größten Hit der Gruppe: "Rikki Don't Lose That Number". Auf ihrem Album "Pretzel Logic" machen Steely Dan genau da weiter, wo sie bei ihrem Vorgänger-Album aufgehört haben. Sie machen sehr komplexe Musik, jazzige Musik, die sich aber trotzdem sehr gut durchhören lässt. "Steely Dan ist im besten Sinne "Fahrstuhlmusik". Du kannst es ausblenden [...], dann ist es einfach nur etwas, was bei dir auf dem Ohr ist und so gesehen nicht stört. Sobald du weiter reinzoomst [...], siehst du all die Elemente. Und das ist das Interessante daran, was sie ausmacht", sagt SWR1 Musikredakteur Benjamin Brendebach im Meilensteine Podcast zum Album "Pretzel Logic". Nichtsdestotrotz hat sich für Steely Dan mit diesem Album ganz viel verändert. Während für viele Rockmusiker das Tourleben der wichtigste Teil des Rock 'n' Roll-Lifestyle ist, war es Walter Becker und Donald Fagen immer zu viel. Sie fanden es "langweilig" und "albern", wie SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig im Meilensteine-Podcast erklärt. Fagen und Becker sahen sich selbst eher als Songwriter und Produzenten und die beiden waren sich einig, dass für ihr drittes Album "Pretzel Logic" ein neues Bandkonzept hermusste. Und so haben die beiden Masterminds hinter der Band nach einem Tourabend im Hotelzimmer kurzerhand ihre Band gefeuert. Künftig wollten Becker und Fagen dann auf professionelle Studiomusiker zurückgreifen. So hart die Entscheidung auch für die Musiker in der Band war, die Musik von Steely Dan konnte so auf die nächste Stufe steigen. "Grundsätzlich ist es ein Meilenstein-Album, einfach weil es ein ganz neues, ganz eigenes Genre definiert. Man nennt es jetzt vielleicht Rock-Pop-Jazz-Blues. Wie auch immer man es nennen mag, es ist eigentlich "Steely-Dan-Pop", erzählt Benjamin Brendebach. Für ihre Alben ab "Pretzel Logic" haben sich Steely Dan nur die Stars unter den Studiomusikern dazu geholt. Das beste Beispiel dafür sind die Drums. Da hatten sich Fagen und Becker nicht nur einen Drummer geholt, sondern gleich mehrere. Richtige Schwergewichte der Schlagzeuger-Szene. Neben Totos Jeff Procaro, haben Steely Dan auch Jim Gordon engagiert, der als einer der größten Studiodrummer überhaupt zählt. Er hat mit den größten Stars der Pop- und Rockgeschichte zusammengespielt: mit den Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton und vielen vielen mehr. Im Podcast sprechen wir auch darüber, welche tragische Wendung das Leben von Schlagzeuger Jim Gordon noch genommen hat. Für Folge Nummer 250 unserer SWR1 Meilensteine haben wir uns auch noch eine kleine Besonderheit überlegt: ein kleines Meilensteine-Quiz. Geneigte Meilensteine-Fans können dabei ihr angehäuftes Wissen auf die Probe stellen, und mit etwas Glück sogar den offiziellen Titel "SWR1 Meilensteine Profi" ergattern. Der erste Schritt in Richtung Titelgewinn ist: diese Podcast-Folge hören. Und für alle weiteren gibt es auf unseren Seiten ein paar Tipps, um auf die Lösung zu kommen.

Das ganze Jahr über präsentieren wir euch bei den SWR1 Meilensteinen Alben, die aus musikjournalistischer Sicht absolute Meilensteine sind. Zur Weihnachtszeit werden auch wir etwas emotionaler und präsentieren euch mal die ganz persönlichen Meilensteine unserer SWR1 Musikredaktion. Carolyne Mas und ihre "Mas Hysteria" Den Anfang macht in dieser Weihnachtsfolge übrigens kein Musikwunsch aus der Musikredaktion von SWR1 Rheinland-Pfalz, sondern ein Meilensteine-Hörer. Frank Bick hat sich für den Podcast "Mas Hysteria" von Singer/Songwriterin Carolyne Mas rausgesucht. Eigentlich ist es auch gar kein richtiges Album, sondern der Mitschnitt eines Radiokonzertes Anfang der 80er-Jahre, das Carolyne Mas gegeben hat. Ganz besonders der Song "Sittin' in the Dark" hat es dem Meilensteine-Fan angetan, wie er erzählt. Für ihn ist der Song pure Nostalgie. Er hat "Sittin' in the Dark" häufig in seiner Zeit beim Militär gehört, während er mit seinen Kameraden nachts in einem VW Käfer von Wildeshausen nach Wesel gefahren ist. "Da haben wir uns natürlich Kassetten mitgenommen! [...] Da musste jeder was mitbringen. [...] Auf dem Rückweg vom Bund war da super Laune. [...] Da passte diese Musik super rein", erzählt SWR1-Hörer Frank Bick im Podcast. Auch wenn einige Menschen Carolyn Mas hier und da mal als weibliche Bruce Springsteen betitelt haben, weil sie mit Teilen seiner E-Street Band gespielt hat, vergleicht SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig sie doch eher mit Patti Smith oder den Pretenders – neben dem Boss ist auch dieser Vergleich durchaus schmeichelnd zu verstehen. Vorurteilsfrei: George Michael und "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" Nachdem "Wham!" sich Mitte der 80er Jahre getrennt hatten, machte auch George Michael als Solokünstler weiter. Sein erstes Soloalbum "Faith" – auf dem auch der gleichnamige Megahit war – war 1987 ein riesen Erfolg gewesen. Mit "Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1" stand er also vor der Mammutaufgabe des zweiten Albums, das viele Künstler fürchten. Das zweite Album gilt bei Bands und Solokünstlern gleichermaßen als das schwierigste, weil das häufig darüber entscheidet, ob der Künstler in die Bedeutungslosigkeit abdriftet oder sich als ernst zu nehmender Künstler etabliert. Und George Michael emanzipierte sich mit dem Album von dem vorangegangen Look und Sound seiner Musik und seiner Person. Es war nicht mehr so schillernd und voll auf die zwölf, sondern im Gegenteil: Es war zurückgenommen und jazzig, wie SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig im Meilensteine Podcast beschreibt. "Er macht gleich klar: Das ist George Michael! So kennt ihr ihn nicht. Das ist nicht Disko "Bumm, Bumm, Bumm" von Wham, das ist auch nicht der Tanzkasper aus "Faith"", erzählt Stephan Fahrig. Die Plattenfirma war mit dem "neuen George Michael" nicht so zufrieden, weil sie sich auf einem Album natürlich mehr Hits erhofft hat. Denn die erfolgreichen Singles sind es, die die Albumverkäufe ankurbeln und nicht der eigene Anspruch des Künstlers. Einen großen Hit hat die Plattenfirma dann auch bekommen: "Freedom! '90". Powerfrau Alicia Keys und ihr Grammyalbum: "As I Am" Mit "As I Am" hat Alicia Keys 2007 ihr drittes Album rausgebracht und zahlenmäßig passend dafür auch drei Grammys bekommen. Rund sechs Millionen Mal hat sich die Platte weltweit verkauft. Alicia Keys kommt mitten aus New York City, kennt das Großstadtleben und ist gleichzeitig aber auch ein Kind der klassischen Musik. Schon mit fünf Jahren hat sie Klavierunterricht bekommen und auch die Musik der großen Meister wie Mozart, Chopin etc. gespielt. Und genau diese beiden Welten verbindet sie in Ihrer Musik zu einer: der raue, harte Großstadtflair und die feine Zerbrechlichkeit und Technik der Klassik. Das perfekte Bindemittel dafür ist ihre kraftvolle und doch oft kratzige Stimme. Nicht nur ihre Stimme ist kraftvoll, sondern die ganze Person Alicia Keys ist eine echte Powerfrau. Das zeigt sie uns immer wieder und sie hat sich für das Album eine weitere starke Frau als Songwriterin zur Seite geholt: Linda Perry. Diese hatte in den 90ern ihren großen Durchbruch als Sängerin der "4 Non Blondes". Linda Perrys eigentliche Karriere startete dann aber mehr im Hintergrund als Songwriterin und Produzentin. Sie hat nicht nur mit Alicia Keys zusammengearbeitet, sondern auch mit vielen anderen großen weiblichen Stars wie Pink, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera oder Céline Dion. Auf "As I Am" war Linda natürlich passenderweise auch am Song "Superwoman" beteiligt. Moderner 80er Pop aus Australien: Client Liaison Die 80er sind zumindest musikalisch sowas wie das "Lieblingsjahrzehnt" der Deutschen. Und auch heute feiert die junge Generation von Musikfans und Musikmachern begeistert die Sounds der 80er-Jahre. Megastar The Weeknd ist da ganz vorne mit dabei, aber auch der deutsche Produzent Puple Disco Machine. Auch die australische Band Client Liaison hat sich ganz den 80ern verschrieben und macht nicht nur Musik im Sound der 80er, sondern ist auch in ihrem ganzen Auftreten und ihren Performances ein echtes 80er-Jahre Gesamtkunstwerk, erklärt SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg im Podcast, der selber großer Fan der 80er ist. "Die klingen nicht nur nach 80ern und frühen 90ern, die stylen sich auch so. Die sind in Australien bekannt für ihre aufwendigen Videoclips und da inszenieren die sich oft in so einer hedonistischen 80er-Jahre Konsumwelt – so yuppie-mäßig. [...] Die nehmen das schon auf die Schippe, aber die servieren so ein gesamtes Konzept", sagt SWR1-Musikredakteur Dave Jört im Podcast über die australische Band. Die musikalische Fortführung von Steely Dan Nachdem die Band Steely Dan sich 1981 aufgelöst hatte, machte Sänger Donald Fagen als Solokünstler weiter. In diesem Jahr hat Donald Fagen seinen 75. Geburtstag gefeiert. Sein erstes Soloalbum "The Nightfly" veröffentliche Fagen relativ kurz nach der Auflösung von Steely Dan im Jahr 1982. Das Besondere an dieser Platte ist zum einen, dass es ein Konzeptalbum ist, dass sich sozusagen von vorne bis hinten in einem Guss hören lässt und dabei zwar musikalisch anspruchsvoll ist, aber trotzdem auch ganz beiläufig gut zu hören ist. Man kann der Platte trotz der Komplexität einfach folgen. Das funktioniert natürlich am besten, wenn man sich geniale Studiomusiker mit dazu holt. Durch seine Arbeit bei Steely Dan war das persönliche Telefonbuch von Donald Fagen durchaus nützlich, was auch sein Soloalbum angeht und er hat sich für "The Nightfly" jede Menge fantastischer Musiker dazugeholt, unter anderem auch Basslegende Marcus Miller und Schlagzeuger und Toto-Gründungsmitglied Jeff Porcaro. __________ Über diese Songs wird im Podcast gesprochen (02:04) – “Sittin' in the Dark” von Carolyn Mas (11:50) – “Thomas Dunson's Revenge” von Carolyn Mas (17:13) – “Praying for Time” von George Michael (20:50) – “Cowboys And Angels” von George Michael (22:04) – “Freedom! ‘90” von George Michael (28:03) – “Nocturne Nr. 20 in Cis-Moll” von Frédéric Chopin, gespielt von Sophie Pacini (28:51) – “As I Am Intro” von Alicia Keys (30:28) – “No One” von Alicia Keys (32:19) – “Teenage Love Affair” von Alicia Keys (33:32) – “Superwoman” von Alicia Keys (35:23) – “Tell You Something” von Alicia Keys (38:19) – “Off White Limousine” von Client Liaison (41:23) – “The Bravest Beginnings” von Client Liaison (45:41) – “Where Do We Belong” von Client Liaison (47:27) – “Home” von Client Liaison (54:10) – “The Nightfly” von Donald Fagen (56:14) – “I.G.Y” von Donald Fagen (58:57) – “Maxine” von Donald Fagen __________ Shownotes: Youtube-Kanal von Carolyne Mas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVgiU5rjS4jvv9_cC7boXQ Website Carolyne Mas: https://carolynemas.com/ Das legendäre “Freedom!” Video von George Michael: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diYAc7gB-0A Alica Keys perfomt ihre Lieblings Songs von “As I Am” im Studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeDZ8Me7iEc Alicia Keys Interview der Vogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwZjWigTTHM Youtube-Kanal von Client Liaison: https://www.youtube.com/@clientliaisonmusic Podcast-Tipp: SWR2 Wissen: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/swr2-wissen/8758500/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Kenny Vance (singer and founding member of Jay and the Americans) joins the podcast to tell the story of how he discovered two young songwriters named Fagen and Becker at the Brill Building in the late 1960's, and shares what it was like to tour, record, and collaborate with Donald and Walter in the "pre-Steely Dan" era.

Kenny Vance (singer and founding member of Jay and the Americans) joins the podcast to tell the story of how he discovered two young songwriters named Fagen and Becker at the Brill Building in the late 1960's, and shares what it was like to tour, record, and collaborate with Donald and Walter in the "pre-Steely Dan" era.

The Nightfly is the debut solo album from Donald Fagen.  Fagen and his Steely Dan partner Walter Becker had released the Gaucho album in late 1980, and Becker was having a lot of trouble.  His girlfriend died of a drug overdose in their apartment, and he was sued for several million dollars.  Shortly after that he was hit by a taxi, which shattered his leg.  Steely Dan disbanded in 1981, and Becker moved to Maui.  Fagen wanted “The Nightfly” to be autobiographical, and without the irony and biting nature of Steely Dan.  There is a lot of adolescence and innocence in these songs, reflecting back on Fagen's time growing up.  The album is also one of the first to be recorded entirely in digital.  Steely Dan had tried this approach fo“Gaucho,” but it didn't work out and they reverted to analog.  Audiophiles gravitate to The Nightfly, and EQ Magazine ranks it as one of the top 10 Best Recorded Albums of All Time, up there with The Beatles' “Sergeant Peppers” and The Beach Boys' “Pet Sounds.”Donald Fagan had problems with depression after recording “The Nightfly,” and largely disappeared from the music scene through the rest of the 80's.  Fagan said in 2006 that he hasn't listened to "The Nightfly" since making it.  However, he did record two other albums which are considered to form "The Nightfly Trilogy," including Kamakiriad" from 1993 and "Morph the Cat" from 2006.  There would also be a reunion of Steely Dan later on.Bruce presents this jazzy album for this week's episode. I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)This lead single is also the track that leads off the album.  "I.G.Y." stands for International Geophysical Year, which was a project that lasted between July 1957 and December 1958.  It encompassed eleven earth science projects and included collaboration between East and West.  The song reflects the positivity of that time and collaboration.  The song was released in September 1982 and reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the end of November.The NightflyThis track imagines a late night DJ named Lester who plays jazz on WJAZ out of Baton Rouge, and also takes calls from conspiracy theorists.  is about a spiritual quest.  While not released as a single, this song did receive some airplay on FM stations in the 80's.Ruby BabyAlthough heavily arranged with close harmonies by Fagen, this is a cover song originally performed by the Drifters in 1956.  A number of artists have covered it over time, including Dion (number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962), Billy "Crash Craddock, Del Shannon, Mitch Ryder, and Bobby Darin.New FrontierThis fun single did not break into the top 40, but it was a frequent video on the then-new MTV channel.  The idea of the song is that an adolescent boy is bringing a girl over to his parents' bomb shelter for a good time.  "Yes, we're going to have a wing ding..." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop (from the motion picture "Tootsie" )Dustin Hoffman stars in this cross-dressing romance comedy about an actor disguising himself as a woman to land a job. STAFF PICKS:Steppin' Out by Joe JacksonRob starts the staff picks with a song inspired by Jackson's time in New York City.  The song reflects the excitement of a drive around town, and hit number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It is off the album "Night and Day," which reflects New York City during the day on side 1, and the City during the night on side 2.Mexican Radio by Wall of VoodooWayne's staff pick is a weird one.  This new wave act describes listening to the broadcasts of high-wattage unregulated Mexican radio stations whose signals were strong enough to be picked up in small town U.S.A.  Wall of Voodoo's $15,000 video would be on constant repeat on MTV.Maneater by Hall & Oates Lynch brings us a big Hall & Oates hit that spent four weeks at number 1 on the charts.  The song describes a woman who is bad news, only looking for money.  The video features a live panther, that got loose in the rafters of the set at one point, prompting a hasty retreat from Darryl Hall.   The sax part is played by Charles "Mr. Casual" DeChant, who also appears in the video during his solo.She Sheila by The ProducersBruce finishes up the staff picks with Atlanta's own The Producers.  This is the big single off the band's second album "You Make the Heat."  It went to number 48 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts, and alternates between an ethereal synth part and a high energy New Wave sound. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Bonzo's Montreux by Led ZeppelinJohn Bonham's live drum solo closes out this week's podcast.

On this episode of Futurum Live! From the Show Floor, I am joined by SHARE President,  Scott Fagen, during the SHARE conference in New Orleans.

Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay, "Quantum Criminals": Exploring Steely Dan Characters and Artistic CollaborationIn this episode of "Unlocking Your World of Creativity," host Mark Stinson delves into the fascinating world of storytelling, art, music, and character development with author Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay, the creative duo behind the book "Quantum Criminals: Ramblers Wild Gamblers. Another Soul Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan." The book explores the rich tapestry of characters found within the songs of the legendary band Steely Dan.The conversation begins with Alex discussing the genesis of the book and how Joan's idea to base it around characters transformed the project. Their collaboration, guided by a massive spreadsheet of 160 characters created by Joan, allowed them to explore the extensive catalog of Steely Dan's characters and bring them to life in a unique way. Alex highlights how the character-based approach enhanced the writing process, adding depth and humanity to their portrayal of the band's history.Joan discusses her artistic process and how her lifelong fandom of Steely Dan influenced her visual interpretations of the characters. With a penchant for high chroma and psychedelic aesthetics, her vibrant paintings captured the essence of the colorful and sometimes enigmatic characters. The collaborative nature of the project brought a new dynamic to both Alex and Joan's creative processes, providing support, encouragement, and a fresh perspective.The interview also delves into the research behind the characters and the extensive exploration undertaken by Alex. While the band members, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, didn't provide much information about the characters, Alex's research led him down intriguing rabbit holes, uncovering fascinating connections and stories. He shares examples such as the inspiration behind "Kid Charlemagne" and the story of Sayoko Yamaguchi, the model featured on the cover of Steely Dan's album "Asia."Throughout the conversation, the evolution of Steely Dan's characters over time is explored, with Alex noting that the reunion albums allowed for a clearer understanding of the individual songwriting contributions of Fagen and Becker. The duo's sensibility shifts and a touch of sentimentality emerges in their later work, which can be heard in songs like "Shame About Me."Highlight Quotes:· "I think that was what was exciting about it because I, this started out, I was going to write a Steely Dan book before Joan came into the picture. But the idea to base it around characters was an idea that Joan had." - Alex Pappademas· "Joan made a giant spreadsheet. At the beginning of this process that had 160 characters on it, which is like a Robert Altman level of character." - Alex Pappademas· "I prior to diving into this I've always painted in a very high chroma way. All of these are gush paintings that are 18 by 24 or nine by 12. And I I've always. I've always painted slightly psychedelic in, in terms of pallet. So it it was an easy, it was an easy application of that natural tendency here, for sure." - Joan LeMay· "So I when this project started to I had thought about I, I'd start, I had started. Making a fanzine called Danze, where I was going to depict every single named character in the entire Steely Dan universe." - Joan LeMay· "I think for years, Several friends and I who are Steely Dan fans have been like, oh, they're such a major dude. As a, as, just as a colloquial way to refer to somebody referring to the song,...

Some really cool things are happening at Cordell Hull! Ashley and Stone fill us in.

For die-hard Steely Dan fans such as myself, the name Bernard Purdie is instantly recognizable; he invented the Purdie shuffle! So for someone that so casually blew the perfectionist minds of Becker and Fagen with his rhythmic genius back in the late ’70s, Bernie’s bar for collaborating is obvious purdy high. Which brings us to […] The post Henry Invisible: “Dance Music Saves” (feat. Bernard Purdie) appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

We're pleased to welcome Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay on today's episode. Together, they have created a tremendous and deeply entertaining new book about one of Aquarium Drunkard's favorite bands: Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors From The Songs of Steely Dan.  The Danaissance is in full swing, and in Quantum Criminals, Pappademas writes that Steely Dan is the most 2020s of ‘70s bands. But what makes the book so great is its sidewise angle into the situation—this is no boring history or staid rock bio. With LeMay's vivid illustrations leading the way, the duo welcomes us into the world of Becker and Fagen through their strange characters: Dr Wu, Napoleon, Peg, The Expanding Man. Like the band's songs, it's funny, wonky, and given over to wonderful digressions and detours. Ready your scotch whisky and fine Columbian, here's Alex and Joan on Steely Dan.

On this episode, Sadie and Gavi are once again joined by Dr. Shoshana Fagen, who lends her considerable expertise to the discussion of the ubiquitous and infamous fundamentalist parenting book/child abuse manual, "To Train Up A Child," By Michael and Debi Pearl. The techniques recommended in this book have been used by fundamentalist families like the Duggars for decades. Together with Shoshana, they examine how truly horrible and harmful this book is, and what healing from this sort of upbringing might look like.TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we'll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it's relevant to the story we're telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This Entire Episode carries a trigger warning for child abuse, specifically, hitting, spanking, hitting with implements, what implements are recommended to hit your child, how to break a child's spirit. We will of course be validating survivors of such abuse, talking scientifically about why it's not okay, trying to use language that's less triggering, but it is the topic of the episode. We will also more briefly mention topics such as complimentarianism, wives submitting to husbands, marital rape, and briefly mention the deaths of several children which were related to the teachings put forth in this book.

Just when you think you know all there is to know about Donald Fagen, he surprises you. There are legendary stories, traded like playing cards in chat rooms, fanzines, and merch lines. Along with his musical partner, the late Walter Becker (who passed away in 2017), Fagen influenced countless musicians, producers and songwriters by setting the gold standard in record production and arrangement with his band Steely Dan. This is known. There are the solo records, including The Nightfly (released in 1982), which was nominated for seven Grammys and continues to serve as a reference for hi-fi aficionados around the world 30 years on. This is known.  Much is known about Donald Fagen and his work, it's true. But much is still left to be revealed. Stage fright, a general aversion to appearing on television (he and Becker lacked the large heads and “swaths of cheek” that they felt necessary to really make it on the small screen), and nearly 20 years with no touring created a mystique that endures to this day, despite the fact that they've toured regularly since the mid 90s.  So Donald can surprise you. He does it not by telling you what happened, but rather what he thinks about it. Or more to the point, how he thinks about it. He tells you that Steely Dan has “more in common with punk than with the confessional California singer songwriters” that they were often compared to. He tells you why Stravinsky was a precursor to funk music. He tells you what's postmodern about his music, why making his first solo record was so personally disruptive to him, how he falls asleep, when he decided to finally grow up, and who he never wants to see again. This conversation was recorded in summer of 2019. This summer, Steely Dan is back out on the road playing to crowds of delighted fans around the country.

Ex-Cult leader, former FBCH Pastor, and convicted pedophile/sex trafficker "Dr." Jack Schaap believes that he is an expert in mental health and christian counseling.

My very special guest today and I met in Columbus Isle in Winter of 2000, but her first season was in Club Med Paradise Island in October of 1997 as a Reception G.O. From my hometown of Montreal, please help me welcome the amazing and funny Sabrina Fagen! Sabrina heard about Club Med from her parents who were frequent guests, so she decided to apply in 1997. Sabrina worked about 3 ½ years in Club Med and has many stories to tell. One of them involves a tongue piercing gone awry in Ixtapa on her day off and she shares her thoughts on what it was like working at the Club Med in Cuba during the 1999/2000 Winter season. Sabrina and I also share the same feelings whenever we see a FedEx truck in the neighbourhood-meaning that we have a Pavlovian response because we think the truck is bringing us our plane tickets (old school G.O.'s will understand the reference!). We also cover her favourite crazy signs, La Charanga, Gala-Freed from Desire and Mila. During her time in Club Med, Sabrina worked at the Reception, Mini-Club, Landsports/Fitness and Sailing. She also explains her reasons for wanting to transition from the Mini Club to Sailing. And lastly, we get to hear her recollection of the Jay Tighe, Sabrina & Greg "fence story" from Columbus 2000! **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Planet Poet-Words in Space  – NEW PODCAST!  LISTEN to my June 8th, 2021 WIOX Radio conversation with poet, editor and publisher Jared Daniel Fagen on his forthcoming poetry collection, The Animal of Existence and two books from his literary press, Black Sun Lit:  I am writing you from afar by Moyna Pam Dik and Apostasy by Katy Mongeau.  Jared Daniel Fagen is the author of The Animal of Existence, which is forthcoming from Black Square Editions in 2022. His prose poems and essays have appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, Lana Turner, Asymptote, Prelude, and Caesura, among other places. Currently residing in Arkville, he is the editor of Black Sun Lit, a PhD student in Comparative Literature at the CUNY Graduate Center, and an English instructor at the City College of New York.  More @ jareddanielfagen.com Jared Daniel Fagen on Black Sun Lit  ... We propose a renewed aestheticism that values beauty- not communication or identification – as the end of literature.  Beauty is for us the experience of the limit, an autonomy beyond that of life itself.  We search for it in all forms of extreme expression: whether in minimalism or maximalism, ultramodernism or neotraditionalism, in the experimental or in the archaic, in a desire that exceeds the body or in the longing for boredom.   Beauty is the encounter between the saint and the hedonist, the prostitute and the Buddha: a truth that, like staring into the face of Medusa, petrifies the gaze into a contemplation of nothingness.  We value beauty that can be discerned in the fragmentary and the sacred, the dysfunctional and the erotic, the derelict and the obsessive…

Here are a few of the articles that we will discuss during the podcast today: Tesla stops taking orders for cheapest Model Y in hard-to-follow updates Tesla Model Y Standard Range is still available ‘off menu,' but Elon Musk doesn't like the range Tesla shuts down Model 3 production line for 2 weeks amid chip shortage Elon Musk confirms ‘high demand' for updated Tesla Model S/X, factory restarts after parts shortage Elon Musk says Tesla is shifting more electric cars to LFP batteries over nickel supply concerns Hyundai unveils Ioniq 5 electric car: Out-of-the-box EV loaded with attractive specs and features USPS announces postal fleet replacement contract, doesn't even go all-electric Here's the live stream for today's episode starting at 4 p.m. ET (or the video after 5 p.m. ET): https://youtu.be/YAp3QXoNR5s var postYoutubePlayer;function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() { postYoutubePlayer = new YT.Player( "post-youtube-video" ); } Transcription Fred Lambert: We are alive for a new result of the electric podcasts. I'm Fred Lambert, your host, and as usual I'm joined by set. When job are you doing today? I'm good. All right. You've been okay. The VW ID for, for a while now, you were able to test it for a week a week. We weren't supposed to be able to talk about it. [00:00:19] We don't have a post to reference for, for, for you guys to go read because the, the, the embargo was supposed to be later this weekend or early next week, Monday. On day and, but it was broken for some reason. And then the illustrator journal screwed up. They speed it  [00:00:36] Seth Weintraub: up. I think they put it in the print. [00:00:37] So you can't take it back? No, you can't take that back.  [00:00:41]Fred Lambert: So, so we're going to be able to talk about that. We're going to do it later on in this show, even though, like I said, the post is going to be coming probably this weekend and a video and the video too. All right. And then you went on that bolt, you. [00:00:54] Just a UV or did you get the new Evie too? Well, they were  [00:00:57] Seth Weintraub: both there, but we weren't allowed to drive the bolt Evie, which is weird because you know, it's been around for five years. But we got to drive the boat EEV and it was pretty insane.  [00:01:07] Fred Lambert: All right. That is Virgo though. So it's not interesting. [00:01:11] It's just blank. You cannot say anything about it, right? On Phil Monday, right? Monday,  [00:01:16]Seth Weintraub: One o'clock I think.  Tesla stops taking cheapest Model Y orders [00:01:17] Fred Lambert: All right. So we're going to discuss that on the next episode next week, but you're going to be able to read about it on Monday. Of course, if you follow electric we got to start with our testing and use as per usual, and we going to stop with something that happened last weekend, and then we add some more information this week that that came up and that's the mobile wise standard range. [00:01:39] So last week we discussed the price changes and everything, a good $2,000 a half. The standard range. I was like, all right, this is interesting stuff. And we'll just a month into the vehicle being launched already at $2,000 price cut. Now the model Y is less than $40,000. Interesting stuff. Then it just disappeared this weekend, this weekend, they took it off. [00:02:01] They took it off the configurator and people were like, Hey, well what's happening? Is it cancel? Or they just stop to take orders. We don't know. We didn't know. But that was very surprising just a month into watching it. And then a few days into cutting the pricing effectively. And then this week Ilan commented on the, on the issue. [00:02:20] He said that it's still available, but. Of the menu. So we know what that means. We know that what happens with that generally means that it's it's, it's going away. That's what happened with them all three salmon range. And it's, it's a weird thing just to, to have an existing 3m of your vehicle. Just, we don't tell you that it's there, unless you like you're in the know if you will. [00:02:43] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. I've got some questions about that because you can't just have a battery configuration. Like, are they going to still have the battery that battery size or are they going to like software limit? The long range battery.  [00:02:59] Fred Lambert: Well, the way I see it is that the standard Mo wide standard range was really a standard Amal as the same powertrain as a model three standard range, plus really call it a standard range because there was no standard range to be a plus though. [00:03:14] The same thing is true now for them all three. So they could, you could also change that. But it, so if that's the case, then. I assume it's not that big of a deal to just use the military center drainage plus power train and build them all wire around it. Or like you said, if it's really low, I mean, I felt like there was going to be a popular vehicle. [00:03:32] So if it, if it's to be popular, if it'd been a lot of people gonna order it, I don't, I don't think they cannot. I D I just don't think the, the, the, they would stop for a lucky, with a bigger batch of bag, because then you're you deliver more value for a smaller price?  [00:03:46] Seth Weintraub: Yeah, I agree. It's weird. I don't get it. [00:03:49] Yeah. It's that AI is that AI pricing.  [00:03:53] Fred Lambert: I think it's Ian, because Ian said that you said in many driving condition as yet to meet a Tesla's standard of excellence. So it goes back to originally why we were surprised in the first place last month when this law shit, because you had said that it was canceled. [00:04:08] So, if we go back to the beginning of the history of the military standard range, it was announced all the way back at the launch of 2019 and the March doesn't 19 of them. The more why. And it was part of the configurations that this was planning to make available at last, the 250 miles of range back then. [00:04:26] And then later on like a year later, I think, you know, and said that yeah, we're not going to launch it because it's going to have less than 250 miles of range, which we, we w we find unacceptably low. And yet a few months after that, they ended up launching it with 244 miles of range, which is. I think it's good for that price. [00:04:46] Like, I think it makes sense though. He is fair when he says to be fair, he does mention in many drive conditions. So, right. Like in, in, in Canada, for example, or in places where you have a lot of snow, you have cold temperature. Yes. I mean, two 44 miles range will be a lot closer to one 50 miles range in very cold conditions. [00:05:09] So with snow tires and everything. Yeah. Yeah. So at that point, yes. It, it's not, maybe not opposite Tesla standards. Yeah. You got  [00:05:19] Seth Weintraub: to make it between superchargers.  [00:05:22] Fred Lambert: Yes, exactly. But but in, in plenty of other markets, do I think it would be, would have made a ton of sense. Like it's still up with with the incentives too and everything like it's, it is, it becomes a very attractive vehicle, but. [00:05:34] And they decided not to do  [00:05:35] Seth Weintraub: that. Yeah. I mean, like right now. So if you order one of those in, let's say a month, if they're still around in a month via phone, is that going to have a battery, like a small battery pack? I guess it's the battery pack, like you said, that goes into the model three and they have the model three standard range plus, but that battery pack isn't like normally, like most model wise, they're going to have a long range battery pack. [00:06:02] So it would, it's just a weird thing to have, like, like I'm sure the call volume isn't high. So it's just a weird thing to do.  Tesla switching to LFP batteries over nickel supply concerns [00:06:12] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Well, this is, we're speaking about that. I think it might be worth noting when Elan said yesterday about the LFP batteries. Yes. Making it to standard range vehicle at Tesla, because you just said standard range. [00:06:24] He didn't say cars, didn't say mole three. So you said that Nicole is our biggest concern for scaling leads to my onsite production. That's why we were shifting standard range car to  plenty of irony. And leads him exclamation Mark. So we know already that the Mo three standard range plus produced in, in shin guy and the operation guy in China is using an [00:06:50]And then if the chemistry  [00:06:52] Seth Weintraub: that's from cattle, right.  [00:06:54] Fred Lambert: CATL yeah, I think so. So I run phosphate is known to be to have that as much energy density as Hi, Nicole cattle. Am I on with like NCA or NCM? Nicole manganese or just very high density? Nicole. So. There wasn't as much used in, in passenger cars though in China, it was a bit more popular with, with cheaper vehicles. [00:07:18] Cause it is cheaper to, and so a lot of people were saying the white Tesla was bringing that to the standard arrangement. All three it's not necessarily because they were saying that the energy density has improved enough and it has improved, but it's also obviously a cost situation here. The standard range plus is this is cheapest vehicle and People weren't too worried about it because it's just for China, the Chinese market, it sounds like, and people already a lot more used to it than China, but then they launched it in Europe. [00:07:44] They brought that vehicle to Europe. Now this thing arranged model three is produced in Shanghai for the European market. And then in Europe, people are starting to know this, Oh, it's not as good as the version with a nickel Kitto because the, the charging speed all a bit slower. And also in winter conditions, when it's colder, not as efficient, doesn't get as much range. [00:08:07] So. People were a bit worried about that, but what was interesting? Yeah, his comment is that that's where we are shifting standard range car to an iron ghetto. So he's implying that the shift is, is ongoing, the are shifting right now. So that might be meaning that the mode three standard range plus produced in in Fremont for the U S market and North American market. [00:08:29] And then everybody, everything else. Could also be shifting to LFP battery cells, which would be interesting. Yeah. And maybe they are waiting for that shift to happen in order to launch a model Y standard range. There you go. Because again, it's not just about range, it's also margin. This shoots also cost issue, and that might make more sense for them a little while at $40,000, if it has that battery. [00:08:55] Seth Weintraub: Also, we should note that I think iron phosphate is a little bit safer. Like you know, you puncture the battery, it doesn't have the runaway. Okay. It's not as explosive.  [00:09:03] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Thermal runaway, thermal runaway. Yeah. So yeah, I thought it was interesting too. Yeah, that's a good connection in to that, that poster, but now let's let's go back to what's happening at Fremont this week. Tesla shuts downs Model 3 line for 2 weeks [00:09:15] So there was a report. Yesterday from Bloomberg stating that a bunch of employees on a mole, three production line were told not to show up to work until March 7th. Because there was they were shutting down the production line. It wasn't clear why, but we speak later that it could be because of the Industry-wide microchip shortage that the automotive sector is experiencing right now because why we speak to did that. [00:09:40] But first of all, if someone is an automaker is announcing not that this announced anything. Of course, people had to find out by looking good, but yeah. The if for the filmmakers announcing production out or, or deceleration of production, it is generally because of that microchip shortage right now. [00:09:56] I mean, GM for Nissan Toyota in Subaru. Yeah. Christ are, they all announced at least deceration of some production line and in some cases, a complete alt of the production due to the shortage. So. With that in mind and with the fact that what happened in Texas last week, and we know that Samsung is in Texas and Austin with a big factory that, that lost power and that factor is, is part of the supply chain for Tesla for Tesla is a chip that goes into the hardware 3.0 computer. [00:10:27]We just made one this morning through and it would make sense that it affected this as inventory and they would eventually have to outside their own production capacity. Now what we learn after that, Ilan commented later on yesterday that it was indeed, there was indeed the production shut down, but it wasn't exactly that it was actually a broader shut down than we expected. [00:10:50] It was just one production line. It was actually the whole factory that shut down for two days, started back up a day before yesterday. A lot of people assume all that means that the Bloomberg report was was nonsense. I w I wouldn't go as far as saying that, like, W what Elan actually said is that it was even bigger than that. Elon confirms 'high demand' for Model S/X after parts shortage [00:11:07] The whole factory was shut down. They said it's already getting back up. So it's not going to be shut down for, for two weeks. Like like Bloomberg stated, but Bloomberg was just talking about one specific production line that, that production, I might really take two weeks to bring back up. Like the factory is not just a switch. [00:11:21] You just. Go on and off. So it could, it could very well be the case. He didn't confirm it's for a microchip shortage, but did say some some parts supply issue. So I think that's very likely at this point, but in that email that we obtain You also mentioned a few other interesting things, especially regarding the model S and X to upgrade. [00:11:41] So when, when does the launch the refresh that's? The next thing was, it was really, it was saying that it was going to be deliveries in the next few weeks by the end of February. And we we haven't really seen that. So, so far it looks like it might have been pushed a little bit. And in the email you wrote Maul S and X production liner almost done with the retooling. [00:12:00] So. Implying that these two are going to be a few more days needed to start ramping up production and started deliveries. We will be aiming for max production next quarter. So that's encouraging and then he added, there is high demand. So we are going to need to go back to two shifts even ask employees to recommend France for recruiting. [00:12:20] So it's been a while since the all S the next lines of I've been on two shifts. We, we noted of course, cells have been declining a lot in the last few years as the program became sort of stale and, and the, the store was focusing of course, on all three middle Y. So, so yeah, it looks like a, the, the refresh did it. [00:12:38] Breed some, some life into the, the vehicle programs. And now they're going to have to ramp up production to society.  [00:12:46] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. So the original email March 7th, what do you think that person who got that email is that guy or woman, is he, or she. Fired now, or like what, what  [00:12:58] Fred Lambert: I mean, it was, it was a whole production line, so I assume it was a lot of people would be like track it down. [00:13:03]There was some people that were stating today that they were told to come back to work now. So, so maybe the, the ripping up faster, or maybe they're going to be used to do the maintenance, the retooling, like they said that they're going to do two on more, few more wise. So. Hyundai unveils Ioniq 5 EV [00:13:20] Yeah, I doubt anyone's called fired, but you never know. I'm sure they're looking. Yeah. All right. We're already a very, do you want with two tests news use pretty quick. So let's move on to ya. I think personally, what I think was the biggest news of the week here, the good news. It got me the most excited was the Hyundai ionic five official on dealing. [00:13:41] We sort of equal and full on the 23rd. And it hit the Mark for me. It hit the Mark. Pretty, pretty good. I  [00:13:49] Seth Weintraub: was also pretty excited  [00:13:50] Fred Lambert: about it. Yeah. Design wise. I mean, look at that car. Yeah, it's for everyone. It's definitely a step forward and not again, like it is so, so like anything like you need to change like any more like drastic design. [00:14:02]Do I, I would argue it's not that drastic. It's not like BMW high three, eight years ago drastic, but it, it is forward. But in my opinion, like a lot of automakers dropped the ball in term of design when it comes to the front hand. I don't think that's the case here. I mean, the headlights are very new, like this old square thing. [00:14:23] It's not usual, but it works very well into the design, the hood. And then, yeah, this thing here and the middle, there's a little line here. It just works for me. It works. Yeah. Let's go on no need for a fake grill or anything like that. Just, they don't  [00:14:39] Seth Weintraub: even have the charge board in the front anymore. [00:14:41] Yeah.  [00:14:43] Fred Lambert: I mean, that was the Nero. Oh  [00:14:46] Seth Weintraub: yeah. That was key and Monday. Yeah. Cause it, the solar DB had that too.  [00:14:52] Fred Lambert: Did the, yeah, the soul and. So the Cola doesn't have it is it's only the  [00:14:58] Seth Weintraub: Negro. Yeah. I think that Kona has a normal one.  [00:15:00] Yeah.  [00:15:01] Fred Lambert: Maybe not. I don't know. I mean, I know the Niro as it from Kia and that pissed me off, but yeah, I think it works like it's and here's the thing that's interesting with it. [00:15:13] That thing is basically the same size as an ID for VWR D four. It's actually a little bigger than ID for, in everything except the eyes of the car. So, because if you look at it that it looks like a hatchback, they call it a CUV, but looks like almost a hatchback, but it's actually the size of a CUV again, except from the height. [00:15:32] And of course their height also contribute to your volume cargo volumes. So technically the ID four has slightly bigger or even decently bigger cargo volume, but that's because of the height, the actual space in terms of width and the length is is slightly bigger for the ionic five, which I found really interesting. [00:15:55] And then you'll you, you look into all the interior as well as some of these, I know it's got to get in there clean. Yeah. The, they didn't over complicate things. They, they they're still buttons. Of course it didn't go full Tesla, but it it's, it's minimal. I like it. It's not a big fan while there's an extent as much, but still pretty good. [00:16:16]The seats look. Very comfortable to me. Like of course that's just like, from what I can stand  [00:16:21] Seth Weintraub: built in Ottomans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  [00:16:23] Fred Lambert: Yeah. That's a, that's like a lazy boy. Yeah. That's luxury right there. Like, I've seen that in, in luxury car before, but I mean, I guess the, the Hyundai is going like a Honda as a Genesis for its luxury brand. [00:16:35] But I think with ionic, they're trying to like, it's going to be a higher hand too. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, the panoramic roof. Yep. Which they didn't mention in the launch an option for a solar roof? I don't know how it's going to work though. Is it, is it going to be cells embedded in the glass or is it going to be, Oh, you're going to have a full metal roof with cells on it. [00:16:55] I don't know how it's going to work, but yeah. Apparently is going to be an option. I mean, look at that. Isn't that look like comfort. Yeah, it's  [00:17:01] Seth Weintraub: crazy. I mean, Th they, they did some crazy stuff there. Not only, I mean, notice the, for the floor and the front is flat. Like, that's almost a problem. Like if your kids are, you know, put their volleyball down at their feet, like any, you know, make a sharp right. [00:17:18] Fred Lambert: Turn, look, look, look, this, this is a cool thing too. Is that it goes back and forth. Yeah. The center console, when you're driving, like, no, right now I don't know what she's doing. Like she's just thinking of having in her car for some reason, but she lives there. Yeah. Maybe very, very stylish person for being homeless, but still. [00:17:36]That that center console is much forward. I don't know if it's for both. I assume it's for both seats, but when, when you recline a Cedar or push it back, the, the whole center console goes back. So those are through the dashboard once once you're in driving position I, I don't, I don't maybe a ball of some kind could still roll from the passenger side too, though. [00:17:59] Driver's side. I do understand your concert, but I also look at that center console right there. Does that mean you want some volleyballs put them there? Yeah, exactly.  [00:18:07] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. You got your laptop case and they're your briefcase. They got room for everything right there. Yeah. I  [00:18:13] Fred Lambert: mean, it's kind of a reminiscent of like the early mole SNX when there was like two seats and everything. [00:18:20]Yeah. In terms of the powertrain. A few interesting functions. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, that's the key word really options. You do get two wheel drive all wheel drive two battery packs, and they are both available on boats options. So unlike Tesla, like if you want all wheel drive, you have to go with long range and everything. [00:18:38] Honda that doesn't push that on you. The standard range is 58 kilowatt hour battery pack again, all wheel drive, two wheel drive which is 125 kilowatt for the two wheel drive, which is a real driver. Yeah, rear wheel drive, I think, and 173 for the all wheel drive. So it's not a big bump that you get with the front motor, but still you're going through snow. [00:19:02] Yeah. Decent enough for, for things like Hi-C conditions. No, we conditions. And then if you want to go with the long range, you get a 72.6 kilowatt hour for the European market. And th this is a trend that we're starting to see Hyundai is going, like why not? Or they want more range. They want more, not only do you want more range, the PE standard is, is more difficult to achieve a longer range. [00:19:25] So it's easier to look like you have a higher range on the w LTP. So the, the actually going to offer a 74.7 7.42 other a backpack for the North American market. So almost five. More kilowatt hour that you're going to get in North America. Yeah, that's right. And then you still get the two wheel drive option, which is going to give you the longest range option of them all. [00:19:46] When combined with the long range battery pack and an all wheel drive all wheel drive, we'll give you two 25 kilowatts. So you're starting to get like a petty level, a little car there. And that goes zero to a hundred kilometer an hour, which is 62 miles power in 5.2 seconds. Respectable. Yeah, it's not bad. [00:20:02] Like you gotta have some fun with that. Like off of a red light or something. So range wise. I mean, they didn't release the EPA, but did they? No. Okay. The w LTP is four 70 for the longest range version. Do you want me to read so two 92 miles. But then, so that's on the 72.6 gold or a pack. So I had the former kilowatt hour. [00:20:27] I mean, I know normally, like you're on the, see if you get to 92 miles on WTP, you'd be lucky to get like two 40, two 50 right off of APA, but with the fire Marshall at hour. And like we noticed, I mean, two 50, at least maybe up to two 70, I think. Yeah. Of course that's for the longest range version and everything. [00:20:48] So that's longer long range battery pack  [00:20:50] Seth Weintraub: too. It probably has to have more than the Kona. Like they have to maybe that's why they, I don't know, but like the Kona's at like two 60 or two, two 55 or something like that. So it's probably just over that.  [00:21:06] Fred Lambert: Yeah. That, that, that would make sense. Cause it's going to be probably like, like I said, that that's all we'll get to the pricing, but I'm charging. [00:21:14] 400 volt, 800 volt works on the infrastructure up to three 50 kilowatt charging.  [00:21:21] Seth Weintraub: But that doesn't mean it's an 800 volt system. It just it has the 800 volts.  [00:21:27] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you can, you can, you can take up to hit on a wall chart right here, though. I mean, it's crazy that that's good. Like, I mean,  [00:21:37] Seth Weintraub: real world is not going to be like that. [00:21:38] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Most of the time, like you're going to need to have a three 50 kilowatt charger, which are not, they're not that many, but they're getting more. But I mean, like if you want a three 50 kilowatt charging you want to tie in or something like that, or GT ADI GT. Or the Hummer and the heart Palmer, I mean, but those are all a hundred thousand dollars plus cars. [00:21:57] This thing again, I'm going to get to the pricing. We don't know yet, but we're going to speculate about Honda. They said that you're going to be able to charge from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes. So of course that's awesome. Yeah. That's crazy early.  [00:22:11] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. That's it like, that's pretty close to like gas. Yeah, I mean is, you know, 10 minutes tops, but we're getting so close. [00:22:20] It doesn't, it almost doesn't make.  [00:22:21] Fred Lambert: And again, you'd only need to do that when you're actually doing like long distance travel, right? I'm like this isn't charging is not even in your mind. We already talked about the ionic coming with the vehicle. Now they are calling a vehicle to load so that the vehicle to grid vehicle to home thing and everything. [00:22:36] That's, that's what they're called to talk about. No, you're talking, you're calling his vehicle to load.  [00:22:41] Seth Weintraub: This is the best thing for me. I think like finally, somebody is doing  [00:22:44] Fred Lambert: this. Yeah. Added that already. No compromise, like everything looks great. And then this is like a good headed value to have that through 3.6 kilowatt capacity that you can get all of it. [00:22:56]There's, there's a port that is under any the second row seats. That as a regular power off bet on it. So, so you can like plug it into your laptop if you're in the back or something and just use that as you drive or whatever which is not like unusual for cars, but there's also, you can literally use a bi-directional charger into the charge port of the vehicle and get access to that vehicle load capacity. [00:23:20] Seth Weintraub: Do you get the 3.6 kilowatts out of the, the plug, do you think, or do you have to use the bi-directional for that?  [00:23:29] Fred Lambert: They don't specify it here. They do say that the V two L board is located under the second receipt and it connects within when the vehicle is on another V2. Port is like the other charging port on the vehicle exterior. [00:23:42] Seth Weintraub: Hmm. Cause they did a little video and they had you know, it was a European plug, which is two 40 already, but to be 3.6 kilowatt, it would have to be about a 20 amp. Output, which is be a lot of power, but that'd be cool. And then they showed it like powering refrigerators and TVs and a bunch of other stuff like camping, like, but you know, 3.6 kilowatts, this is an important thing. [00:24:10] Like you can back up your house with that. Like you know, those generator ports that you know, people build into their houses and they have the separate fuse boxes and all that, that that's, that's the kind of power that, that those things need. You know, a typical house, like, you know, I probably could look at my house right now, but our typical house runs at like two kilowatts or less. [00:24:30] So, you know, as long as you're not doing like, you know, laundry and cooking at the same time, you can probably backup your house with this thing, which is a huge added incentive because you know, the cost of that you know, if you're buying a generator which is dirty or you're buying power walls, which are like 10 grand, like that's a. [00:24:49] Big value, add that nobody seems to be talking about.  [00:24:52] Fred Lambert: Yep, definitely. Yeah, we do the solar roof thing already talked about it. Didn't really mention any type of range that you can get all of it, but I wouldn't expect much to, to the surface of the vehicle  [00:25:03] Seth Weintraub: here. Mostly just the vampire drain elimination. [00:25:06] Fred Lambert: They have the latest heads up display here. I need to find a video of their, of Hyundai's ends of this Lakers. I mean, I've seen the one in the corner, which I wasn't really impressed with. Not, not really one of the best, but they said it's a new one with augmented reality capabilities. So I'm really curious to see what standard Alec is. [00:25:23] That could be good because I've seen some very good ones with augmented reality. So I'm going to look into that if I could get a video because. I'm sure people would want to see that. And then the, the smart sense, which is the driver has to suit of a Hyundai that you get, I guess, equivalent like of a autopilot, if you will. [00:25:40]Yeah. And it's coming this summer. The first app available in selected regions starting in the first half of 2021. So, so like that the regions, I would assume that South Korea, some are repairing markets. I wouldn't expect it in North America and then the second half, and now in term of the pricing. So they already released some pricing in Europe starting at like 40,000 euros, which should be expensive, but that includes the, that, so maybe a little bit cheaper. [00:26:11]In North America, I don't know. Some people were saying, Oh, the base base version could be starting at 30,000. I'd be surprised. But something around 40,000 would be, would be, would be interesting. I think. Yeah, if they  [00:26:25] Seth Weintraub: can get below 40, they still have the $7,500 tax credit, then all of a sudden that's a $30,000 car. [00:26:34] That's, that's, that's tempting, you know, that's like a. You know, I don't know, like it's hard to, it's hard to think about like a VW ID or ID for a Chevy, a Chevy bold. EEV a Mustang. Like this thing has all those little extra things that are pretty sweet. And if it's around the same price, it's going to be hard to think about those things with this thing around. [00:27:00] Yeah.  [00:27:01] Fred Lambert: I might become a Hyundai owner again. I was on the horn at some point with my super Superman. How was that? I like it to run. I mean, I mean, I was a kid when I bought it, but it was like a very cool looking sports car that you could actually afford. Like I paid, like I bought it used, but I paid like $10,000 and $10,000 for it. [00:27:21] It was a cool looking little, two doors, a sports car. So, and it worked well. I liked it.  [00:27:30] Seth Weintraub: I've never owned a Hyundai or any  [00:27:32] Fred Lambert: Korean car, Korean cars. All right. The USBs. Okay. We're going to discuss this piece of news right here. And then we'll talk a bit about said's experience with the ID four, and then we're going to take questions. USPS's new fleet no all-electric [00:27:43] So if you have any questions, put them in the comment section below especially if you have questions about the ID for, I guess. Then didn't write a post, anything yet, like you could help him like formulate some kind of thought and idea of what you guys really want to know about the core. Be fun. So USBs the announced their, their fleet renewal contract this week. [00:28:04] So they are replacing the 160 some thousand cars in their, in their fleet. And they're not even going all electric with it is kind of crazy because, I mean, if you remember just last month, One of the first thing Biden did when he came into office, it's like the old federal government fleet is going all electric. [00:28:21] Like every all vehicle in the government is going in. All the Trico were what period of time and all, no, but the made it like a priority. And then a month later, what the federal government fleet, like the most interesting one, like the biggest one, the biggest part of it, the USDS, the announced the renewal of the fleet. [00:28:42] And like, we're going to have some. Did your car, some internal combustion in general, we are working very hard to promote alternative fuels. I mean, I read the announcement that I was like, what are they talking about? And then a day later Mr. To boss of that thing, what was it called? Yeah, the joy was by the way, was elected by Trump was pointed like, huh. [00:29:05] Or under the Trump administration. I'm not sure if Trump is even know that guy is, but. It was under Trump. He was appointed committed to only 10% of those of that fleet. 160 some thousand vehicles, garbage going all electric, which is what shows a complete lack of leadership, complete lack of vision. I mean, Those those vehicles are so primed for electrification. [00:29:31] Like it makes so much sense. Although SPE stopping, starting all the time it that's all of the things that EVs are super good at as opportunity. Yeah. Super efficient at. And Nope, they're not doing it also. They gave the contract to some defense contractor for it. Yeah.   [00:29:50] Seth Weintraub: Wisconsin. We thought it was going to go to work  [00:29:53] Fred Lambert: horse. [00:29:53] Right. I mean, I wasn't like, I wasn't old, then I have any like favorite or anything like that. But I mean, a defense contractor, like these guys make pinks or whatever, maybe that thanks. But like military vehicles. Yeah.  [00:30:07] Seth Weintraub: Somebody got paid off. I'm  [00:30:09] Fred Lambert: sure. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised about that, but like this, th this, this needs to be made by a of theory, like a myth, every contractor that deliver mails, like  [00:30:18] Seth Weintraub: we've been kind of nice. [00:30:20] That thing is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I mean, it's a post office, like thing you wouldn't expect it to look amazing, but that looks like it was drawn by like, you know, a third grader, something, it looks like Homer Simpson design.  [00:30:34] Fred Lambert: Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't have that egg at the front end. Exactly. This Elmer Simpson designed vehicle. [00:30:40] But yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't care a lot of these items just, yeah,  [00:30:45] Seth Weintraub: I'm more upset about the electrification, but like, if we're going to go back to the thing, like at least like, if, if they're going to do in current internal combustions, they should make it at least look decent and they didn't. So it's a  [00:31:00] Fred Lambert: zero. [00:31:00] Yeah. And I mean, after the announcement, the next day Biden announced that  was, it was able to appoint three more chairs of the, of the board of the ESPs. So he did that, which gave majority to the Democrats for the board. But I don't know if that's going to be able to do anything to reverse the decision and why Nike, they gave a contract already to contractors. [00:31:25] Officially cost. So like, can they do anything up? I don't know. I mean, I  [00:31:30] Seth Weintraub: guess I could tweak the 10% into 90%. Yeah. Yeah. But, and, and we should note the vehicle itself is supposed to be able to be upgraded from. Combustion to electric at some point later.  [00:31:46] Fred Lambert: Did it say that, but then why like, yeah, it's not, it's not like, Oh, we have like a battery constraint and everything. [00:31:53] 160,000 vehicles is going to be a big problem. It's over 10 years people. So the upgrade is over 10 years. Did they gave the contract now for 10 years? So that means that in eight, nine years under that contract, you could still be delivering and talk about engine vehicles. Which w can you imagine the in 20, 28 and buying a brand new and talk about an engine vehicle that you ordered 10 years ago? [00:32:21] Seth Weintraub: I got it. And knowing them and knowing that the post office and the government, they're probably like backloading the EVs. So they're, they're going to make a hundred percent internal combustion for like the first five years. And then, Oh, we'll throw in some electric vehicles in 10 years.  [00:32:36] Fred Lambert: It's just, I was very disappointed by that because you're not in the market. [00:32:41] Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, I know, I know if the us does it too, because of Biden's announcement last, but no, I agree because of the USBs actually gave contracts to a bunch of companies, including like workhorse and like a few of those, like to, to, to build like prototypes and everything, like to show that they can do it and whatnot. [00:33:00] So it's not like, not, it's not like. No one could do it. So they gave the contract to the Oscars, like make most of the internal combustion engine. It's like something weird happened in that, that the joy guys is plenty. I've never met him, but I would safely assume that easy to a moron or yeah, some vested interest in like three or three years from now. [00:33:24] He gets a cushy little job on the Oskarshamn board. For some reason. I wouldn't be shocked by that. Yeah.  [00:33:32] Seth Weintraub: 5 million a year consultant bastard.  Seth's experience in the VW ID4 [00:33:35] Fred Lambert: All right. So let's talk about something a little better. Did you find the ID for it's a great  [00:33:41] Seth Weintraub: car? You know, there's, there's trade offs, always and Volkswagen you know, they have three tiers, they have the Volkswagen Audi and Porsche inter you know, in Volkswagen's kind of the people's car. [00:33:52] And I think, you know, overall they have a saying, I guess, It's not for millionaires it's for the millions. So they, they took some, you know, it doesn't charge at 150 kilowatts. It charges at one 20 or one 10 or whatever. It's not super fast, like I got a rear wheel drive version in the snow it's sucked in the snow. [00:34:11] Like I've had, they told me it was snow tires and I was like, this is, you know, barely made it up. My driveway, I got stuck twice. I had to shovel it out a couple of times. So it's a great car.  [00:34:21] Fred Lambert: All wheel drive version is all the  [00:34:23] Seth Weintraub: all wheel drive version is coming late summer. Hopefully we'll get invited to that after the summer. [00:34:29] Yeah, just in time for the summer, they have a two wheel drive just in time for the winter. Smart. But what's cool about the all wheel drive one. We are a North American is they're making it here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. So, you know, maybe, maybe it's, if you're, if you're into that car, maybe it's a good thing to wait. [00:34:44]But this was the first edition. And we got it for three days or no, sorry, we got it for 36 hours. And that I got it for an hour. I took it, you know, did my. Waterfall pictures and whatever. Went shopping for some groceries, came back snowstorm for about 24 hours. And then the snow turned into rain and then I had another, like three or four hours. [00:35:06] So at the imagery and the videos, aren't going to be great. And I didn't get to take it to Vermont. Like I did the Mustang, which I couldn't put on  [00:35:13] Fred Lambert: knowledge on it really.  [00:35:14] Seth Weintraub: Yeah, I really couldn't drive it because, you know, in the snow, like the row, even though like, even if you can get out of my driveway, which is not that easy, the roads were just horrible. [00:35:25] So with a two wheel drive car, I just didn't trust being able to get up Hills and, and stay, you know, stay on the road. But that said like the car is really pleasant. Like it's a great drive, you know, BWS, German engineered. It feels great inside it, it it, it was like somewhere between like the Mustang level of luxury and a Tesla, like the, you know, when you hit a bump, it didn't make a loud noise. [00:35:49] Like my model, why does, but it also didn't like totally softened it like Mustang dead, which is weird because I don't think of the Mustang as like a luxury vehicle. Yeah. I mean, inside, it was really nice. It wasn't you know, we talked about like Tesla, no buttons, it wasn't, or even Mustang didn't have very many buttons and it had the screen, it was very much more like a traditional car. [00:36:11]You know, like if you want to know where the. The door handle is you don't have to like search around and try to figure out what Tesla or Ford was doing. It's just a normal door handle inside and out. They did of course make the gear shifter. I don't know why this is impossible for people to understand, but like they made the gear shift or super weird. [00:36:29]It's a, it's like it's on the dashboard. It's like, it's like the BMW thing. It's a dial on the dashboard. And of course, if you want to go into region mode or one pedal driving is everybody calls it. You got to go twice into drive, just like the Chevy bolt or everything else, which is super annoying. [00:36:46] I asked them if they're going to upgrade that, they said, you know, we're thinking about it, but it could be upgraded over, over the air where, you know, you can switch that or change. That one thing was really disappointing. I took it to a Electrify America, the same kind of thing that I took the Mustang too. [00:37:04] And the Mustang has plug-in charge. So you just plug it in. It does a thing for like 15, 20 seconds. And then you're charging kind of like a Tesla Volkswagen who owns electrify America and has the ID for took it to the station, plugged it in. Ask for my credit card. So I gave it my credit card that didn't work. [00:37:27]I did Apple pay that didn't work. I signed up for an electrify America account, which I've had, well, I had one, I just couldn't remember the password I signed up again. That didn't work. So maybe it was the station, you know, like, you know, we shouldn't know electrify America has been a great partner for electric and it works more times than it doesn't. [00:37:48] But in this particular case, it was quite frustrating that I had a Volkswagen and their charging system didn't work. And I asked them about plugging charge. Like guys, Like do that. Ford's got this, your other company you  [00:38:01] Fred Lambert: own  you own  [00:38:03] Seth Weintraub: electric. Yeah. America, you have a car, you know, on the other side of the, the company that's doing pug and charge already called those engineers, like just download that software, do whatever you have to do. [00:38:15]But they said a plugin charge is coming via software update at a later date. So that's good. That's something to look forward to, I think like from now on like, if it doesn't have in charge, Like they gotta, they gotta just go back to the drawing  [00:38:29] Fred Lambert: board. Yeah. I mean it, it, I feel like it's going to be a quick standard to be applied to the whole industry and it  [00:38:35] Seth Weintraub: just totally makes it a much better experience. [00:38:37] Fred Lambert: I mean, it's like that stuff was, was smart to do like their home thing start with their own charging, that work. Cause they were able to apply that easily if it's with their own network. It's not as easy though. It should be for Volkswagen. This would just described, but. I mean, they they're doing it like Ford is doing it. [00:38:55] So yeah. I would  [00:38:56] Seth Weintraub: assume if Ford can do it on Volkswagens chargers Volkswagen can do  [00:39:00] Fred Lambert: it. Yeah. I mean, officially there's a whole Chinese wall between the different American was Vegas, completely different company and everything, but still.  [00:39:08] Seth Weintraub: Yeah. So I don't, you know, that was one bad thing I have to say. [00:39:11] Like overall though, I was really impressed with the inside. The interior, the drive was great. You know, when you're not on snowy roads Like, you know, he kind of wonder like, all right, so am I just getting used to these electric vehicles? Like the Mustang was really good. The, you know, even the Chevy today also good. [00:39:30]And this thing, like baddie Ford, like, it was just great. Like it just flies down the road. Not, not crazy fast. I don't even think as fast as the Mustang that I had, but it gets there and, you know, You accelerate onto the freeway. You're not like wanting for any more acceleration. You're not pinning people back like a Tesla will, but I like Volkswagen says this is for the millions. [00:39:52] So I think it's a very appealing design. I think women and men who aren't necessarily electric vehicle nerds like us, they're going to be really comfortable in this kind of car. So. For me, it's a big winner. They do have some work to do, you know, all wheel drive getting the the and charge working. [00:40:12] But I think it's going to be a popular car.  [00:40:15] Fred Lambert: Yeah, let's go. Sorry. I'm supposed to get one for a while, right. For a week for a full review. Do we know when that's  [00:40:21] Seth Weintraub: gonna happen? I mean, I don't know if it's going to be all the way until. Late summer, but Oh  [00:40:27] Fred Lambert: yeah, I was  [00:40:28] Seth Weintraub: coming up. No, I hope so. I dunno when  [00:40:31] Fred Lambert: whatever we though. Q&A [00:40:32] All right. Let's, let's jump into the comments. What do you guys are saying right now? All right.  [00:40:38] Seth Weintraub: So Jonathan whirling says the boat. Evie is interesting. LOL. I think it is. I, I I've owned a boat Eby for three years. I, I loved that car. So the EVs. Kind of interesting, but I can't say why. All right. Matt, Oh, what are your predictions for model two $25,000 car price upon delivery. [00:40:59] Do you see anything below 50,000 Canadian out the door is 25 K too optimistic? Well, I don't think it's going to be called the model two.  [00:41:08] Fred Lambert: Yeah. I mean either, but I don't, I don't understand that quick. Would it be bill 50,000 Canadian? I mean, wouldn't it be? Yeah. I mean, there's no, there's no con artists ourselves right now. [00:41:21] And in Canada, that is twice the amount that it's sold in the, in the us on that's the saying that maybe it won't be $25,000 in the U S eater, which might or might not be like the Headspace glacier, because it's the, has had some issue delivering on pricing before. So yeah, mean maybe. But yeah, we'll, we'll see about that car. [00:41:40] W w we'll see when we get there. So very speculative right now, it's probably still like three or three years away. So I don't know,  [00:41:45]Seth Weintraub: In terms of the chip shortage station two 40 says Tesla also use a lot of chips from Texas instruments who are in Texas also  [00:41:53] Fred Lambert: good point. Yeah. It's Texas instrument, Texas. [00:41:56] I think  [00:41:57] Seth Weintraub: so. Green gold Tesla needs to figure out what models and prices they want and stick with it. This is in regard to the pricing. That would be nice for sure. I wonder if they're trying to create some like nervous energy with potential buyers saying it's at a good price. Now I should buy it before they raise the price or do something weird. [00:42:17] Fred Lambert: I mean, we would hell no is like test as it's so weird pod that for so long now and in the U S with the whole tax credit thing that like looms around everything too, is it's getting a bit confusing. Yeah, we didn't talk about that. I should mention this. There's a, there's a, like a competing reform for the tax credit has been introduced to we talked about the green act last week or the week before that was introduced. [00:42:41] Gives 400,000 more cars to Tesla and all the auto makers of the hidden threshold at $7,000, a dollar tax credit, the electric cars act, which was actually introduced in 2019, but of course was shut down under the Trump administration and the Republicans still have the Senate and whatnot. Now bringing that back and that one, if that one makes it instead of the. [00:43:03] Green act. That would be a big deal because first of all, it's retroactive through through the year. So it would start in 2021. So every car that was delivered in 2021 would apply to still 7,500, so $500 more. Who's going to complain about 500 or more in their pockets. Big deal here. Big, big deal. At the dealership, you can get it at the dealership on the sticker price. [00:43:28] So not a tax rate. It can be a tax fee too. And if you want it as a tax rate, it can be over five years. So if you don't have $7,500 of tax liability at the federal level you should have it over five years, especially if you're buying a new car. So. That's good, but then again, you probably, the most people won't do that. [00:43:46] If you can apply it to the, at the dealership at the sticker price. So some  [00:43:49] Seth Weintraub: people, I don't know why you would anyway,  [00:43:53] Fred Lambert: I'm not a tax lawyer, accountant. Maybe, maybe they would have a reason for it. But I I'm on the same page as you on that. And then the, of course the biggest thing of them all, they remove the cap. [00:44:04] There's no capital it's on a 10 year period. It's crazy. Yeah. Which is crazy. But I feel like that's more of a, like a negotiating standpoint, maybe like we asked for that. And then we like five years would be plenty. And then between you and me, like 10 years is a, is a long time, like by 10 years, like it's either, he's going to be way more competitive on pricing than any gas or cars. [00:44:26] I mean, I would have  [00:44:27] Seth Weintraub: to say this out loud in public, but like Tesla is already competing pretty well without a tax credit. Yeah. My thing is like, all right, take all that energy and, and all that. Stuff and carbon tax, like, or a carbon dividend. I mean, I know that's not popular and never going to be popular, but like not at the station at the well, like  [00:44:46] Fred Lambert: I dunno. [00:44:47] Yeah. But I mean, even though that the electric cars act sounds a bit crazy it's easier to do I'm sure than the car with AXA. Right.  [00:44:57] Seth Weintraub: All right. David authors, as sorry if I missed it. But did you guys ever discuss the Apple TV plus show long way up? It included reveal and truck driving up from South South of South America to LA quite a feat. [00:45:10] We did discuss it. Micah did a couple posts on it in conjunction with nine to five Mac, which covers Apple TV plus. It's pretty interesting. I only watched some highlights, but it was also with two Harley Davidson Livewire electric motorcycles. So go Google it. We're the  [00:45:26] Fred Lambert: focus on the show? [00:45:27] Really? Any does comes up a few times cause they were the support vehicle to the, but it's really just a motorcycle drive Molson.  [00:45:36] Seth Weintraub: All right. Kevin, do you have pictures of all the nine colors as being offered in? Was that in regard to the Hyundai or.  [00:45:43] Fred Lambert: Tesla. I don't know, but yeah, I mean, we, we should do that. [00:45:47] People always love those posts. Like we should probably do that with the high-end Nick in the ID for and post all the colors available.  [00:45:55] Seth Weintraub: All right. When, if do you think LFP equip Teslas will make it to North America? Well, they're not going to make it, they're going to make made in North America. But it could be, I mean, if Yuan's kind of hinting at it, now, it could be happening as we speak. [00:46:10] Fred Lambert: Could be, but I have no idea  [00:46:14] Seth Weintraub: we might not ever have it. Electric car market is finally heating up great for customers. I was just thinking the same thing. Like, you know, we're reviewing the Baldy UV, the ID for the Mustang model wise here, and they're finally catching up to demand. That's great. [00:46:29] Yeah.  [00:46:31] Fred Lambert: If there was like the standard rainbow, why competing with diet before competing with the ionic five competing with the Mustang Nike all the same year, that would be like crazy. It's pretty much what's happening though. Standard rainbow wise is kind of up in the air.  [00:46:45]Seth Weintraub: Green gold also asks is SCC investigating Ilan again. [00:46:50] Fred Lambert: That was a first Quoc, the Newswire financial news wire, which generally is pretty early on those news. So I think it was the one that they break the news to for the last ACC the station on Ilan. But yeah, probably they are, we don't know, they didn't ever come into an active investigation. So we very hard to permit by union is asking for it. [00:47:12] That for the news came out, he was, he went on Twitter and was like, I only do it will be Duke.  [00:47:17] Seth Weintraub: That's like when the the diver was like, when to Sue you, he was like, do it,  [00:47:23] Fred Lambert: but you want that one? So that's true. You didn't want the sec though, you could argue that he kind of won and we reported it like the deal that he had to buy more shares for Tesla. [00:47:32] You actually made money on that. So you could have done that anyway, though. Yeah, that's true. Like it wasn't, it  [00:47:37] Seth Weintraub: Manda whole says Ilan for president Andrew Yang would have made the mail trucks, EVs, no doubts, man, probably.  [00:47:46] Fred Lambert: Well, you know, or Andrew for, for president, he left for president, but Andrew Yang would have  [00:47:51] Seth Weintraub: made it, I guess Andrew would have been at Yuan's. [00:47:54] Fred Lambert: Yeah. I said, I wasn't, I wasn't really prefer Andrew Yang as as president than Elan. I mean, I love the guy  [00:48:02] Seth Weintraub: you on should be making cars. Yeah. How is Oshkosh qualified to offer EVs? I know they make kids overalls. How are they going to make a EVs?  [00:48:14] Fred Lambert: I mean, I think that's a different division,  [00:48:17] Seth Weintraub: different, different company, probably entirely. [00:48:19] All right. Wayno says you have to look at the quality of people working for the post office. Most drivers of Subpart. If that who cares, what does it, what does the driver have to do  [00:48:29] Fred Lambert: with it? Like morons going to drive electric vehicles right now. Yeah, it's easy to enlist a few. If you want.  [00:48:36] Seth Weintraub: We have a couple of good videos on the channel. [00:48:38] Alright, Chris, 50 fives stop. Well, Biden dropped $15 minimum wage and then bomb Syria. So that this doesn't surprise me. Yeah. I don't know. I don't want to wait too much into politics. Is giving did joy the hook news today. Oh, we got an exclusive from MDC 4runner. So I guess the joy has gone according to a YouTube commenter, Chris 55 stop. [00:49:06] That would be nice. All right, Mike Metcalf, Fred, you mentioned mining companies you're invested in. Can you share which ones, any other investments you're excited about? Disclaimer, time.  [00:49:16] Fred Lambert: Yeah, I'm not a financial advisor or a stock picker or anything like that, but I can discuss my own investment if you want. [00:49:22] I mean, I'm very high on Nicole. I mean, Elan's concerns I think are warranted. Like the diamond is coming for Nicole from the battery industry is truly immense. Like it's hard to overstate. It just all big it is. And it's starting to get reflected into the price of Nicole. But it's not just about the price of the, of the actual commodity. [00:49:48] Like it it's about having new mining projects that are sustainable. And that's why I'm looking into like, things that are not contributing to the problem, but they're just a part of the solution. And also, also The the, the, the, the, the closer to the supply chain, too. It would be nice, like not going like too far deep into the wild and whatnot. [00:50:10] So, yeah, there's a few projects that I like. Well, the, the giga metals, a Vancouver based company that has been rumored to be working with Tesla on a potential Nichole mining project and vested in that there's another company that I like that is related to giga metals. That could be an interesting exposure to, to nickel is a conic metals, but I think they're changing their name right now. [00:50:33] It's not going to be kind of mills and anymore, but that company is very interesting where the invest, the, the buy steaks and nickel projects and that's all they do. So they're there and they're not a mining company. They invest in mining companies with small stakes and a bunch of different them with a focus on nickel and so, so that gives you exposure to Nicole really, but with a wide variety of projects. [00:50:54] And so if you invest in legal metals, for example, it's, it's a riskier project because if it doesn't come to fruition, well, that's it, you lose your investment, but if you have a bunch of different projects like that, it makes more sense. So Connie metals, they are invested in, in the gold medals. For example, they have a small stake in the company. [00:51:10] So if it does succeed great for them, they have a small stake in the, in the. And another functioning mine in. I want to say Papua New Guinea. I might be mistaken, but one of those places that are big and they go producer. So they own like an 8% stake in.com that mind that's already producing. So that's revenue for a company and then they invest. [00:51:33] That revenue and to acquiring steaks in smaller like junior mining companies and that, that are looking into Nicole. And then if those projects come to fruition, then the company grows and everything. So I think that's a good exposure, I think, but look into it, like do your own due diligence. Yeah. There's plenty of opportunity for bashing materials, mining. [00:51:55] Seth Weintraub: All right. So moving back into the comments the ID for all wheel drive is the one to get, or the iconic five all wheel drive. We talked about those. When does the all wheel drive ID for arrive and the summer coming out of Chattanooga? We'll, we'll be there for the, a bunch there. Hopefully hopefully it codes over Nanda holds them back saying cyber truck is going to decimate these soft first time entries. [00:52:20] Nothing else will make sense. Good. Glad to hear from the Tesla fan club here sat in the ID for it's barely bigger than our least narrow E V. That's true. It's not huge. And it looks like an ice under the hood. It doesn't have a Frank that's also true build quality was tops true, but they missed the Mark. [00:52:39] Okay. It would be funny if one of the Elon sons will be the CEO of Tesla someday.  [00:52:44] Fred Lambert: I mean the isn't the whole, this like 13 years old or something right now. Yeah. If that would be like, you're talking about a 50,000 people company right now. It's not like you earn like 30 or something and like, ah, I can run the company  [00:52:58] Seth Weintraub: anymore. [00:52:58] That's a very South Korean like mindset. Like why would it? Yeah,  [00:53:02] Fred Lambert: well, it's like a foreign mindset to maybe also like Ian might not be the best person to run the test though right now. So why would his son be the best person to run the company? And also which  [00:53:13] Seth Weintraub: son, like they're going to all fight over it. [00:53:14] There's like, and they're all like, The same age, because  [00:53:17] Fred Lambert: we don't know any of them we'd have to toot the horn leadership or anything like that. Because like I said, I, I'm not saying that I don't like even running the company, but I'm seeing like at this stage of Tesla, I, there's definitely an argument that could be made for Elan stepping into like a chairman role and then like a product architect, role boat role, but the already older Tesla and then leaving the CEO role to somebody else. [00:53:42] I mean, It worked pretty well for companies like Apple, for example, like Tim cook is as I'm pretty good, even though people said that not as innovative as it used to be, but at the same time Apple, I didn't have a jobs to stick around cancer took him away, but if he can have you to stick around and have someone as a CEO that, that I think that would be. [00:54:05] I think the optimals iteration.  [00:54:06] Seth Weintraub: I mean, he's really not the CEO anyway, like he's, you know, in the traditional sense, he's a chief like architect or whatever, you know, whatever you want to call, like the head engineer or whatever. He's not doing a typical SEO CEO, sorry role where he's taking meetings and doing all that stuff. [00:54:23] Especially since he's got two companies going or 15 companies all right. Okay, Nana holes. Again, the only reason Tesla up the model Y price was to get some of the government cheese on one spite in GMB, $7,000 credit's head. It will be the best value at that point. I don't get that logic. You get the same 7,000 on a cheaper one. [00:54:45] Maybe we'll skip those for now. All right, Tom gearing says instead of model to what follows Elan's joke. Name convention, the sexy would have been sexy except for it on the E I'm guessing the next C six models. Okay. All all right. So sorry. Shane was Sullivan. It's a bit surprising that Ford didn't go with the heat pump in the Maki. [00:55:07] Did they reverse engineer the model three and decided to copy them? Or there is a lot of similar similarities with the Maki and Tesla's vehicles. Heat pumps. It's not a new technology it's been around for awhile. I don't, I mean, I know Tesla did like the OCHA valve, which is supposed to be interesting, but if they wanted to, they could've probably put a heat pump. [00:55:27] I think it's just a cost and size constraint. All right. Moving on, Kevin for the ionic five colors of the ionic five. Oh yeah. So I guess we'll have to dig around. Maybe we'll get one of our artists. To mock up some cool  [00:55:44] Fred Lambert: stuff. I think they released a bunch of them that might, there might be a configurator in Germany open or something. [00:55:50] Okay.  [00:55:51] Seth Weintraub: I'll look into that. All right. Jose Dela Cruz asked if the Maki had a heat pump, it would increase its real-world range and the winter for sure  [00:56:01] Fred Lambert: can argue. Yeah, I did test the Nike though in the winter and I was impressed by it. So just set that same. So yeah,  [00:56:07] Seth Weintraub: we drove to Vermont in like single digit. [00:56:10] And it was fine. All right. Our Panasonic and LG chem getting into LFP seems like NMC is on a downward trend due to nickel cobalt. Yeah.  [00:56:22]Fred Lambert: I don't know exactly the product roadmap for pass and I can in LG, but yeah, I mean, Desola is laid out. It's planned like four hour or shorter range vehicle are gonna use. [00:56:38] ILS, the mid range are going to use in an MC. I'm not getting these nickel and then high nickel for, for, for long range or demanding product, like the cyber truck and the Tesla semi and whatnot. And I think the broader industry is going to have to adapt to that. That means dish surprising if they don't. [00:56:59] Seth Weintraub: All right. Tristan ward asks any guesses on the ionic five price. So we, you know, rewind. We, we did a lot of guessing there. Some thinking it'll be between the ionic and Kona. Nope. It's going to be above the Kona looking great. 60 mile charge in five minutes, et cetera. Yeah. Kona. Kona is I mean, it's just dead in the water really. [00:57:19] I mean, I, I think  [00:57:21] Fred Lambert: it depends on if the price is still better, you might, you know, it might go with that, but. Also some people might it's too radical, maybe the design, but I feel like it hit the Mark for me. Like it's, it's, it's new potentially radical, but it still works well. It's okay.  [00:57:39] Seth Weintraub: It's the only car I'm kind of like, like really thinking about right now, but you know, obviously thinking about cyber trucks and Roadsters, but you know, ones that are going to be produced this year. [00:57:51] All right. Moving on Shannon Sullivan in Europe, ABB is providing a lot of the hardware to the identity network, which is what electrify America is called here. What is the predominant DC charge point? Electrify America is mostly ABB. They do most of the chargers, even ego, I think is. Mostly ABB  [00:58:08]
