Podcasts about The Purple People Eater

You're using AI to handle more of the work that your team used to do. That’s exactly why the human side of the business has become a competitive advantage. In this episode, Chip and Gini make the case that as AI slop floods everyone’s inbox and feeds, the bar for genuine human interaction has dropped so low that clearing it will make you stand out. Demonstrating real experience and expertise in conversation — not just in content — is where agencies will win. That starts with having actual conversations. Chip argues that meetings have become more valuable, not less, because you can’t fake a real-time interaction the way you can a written deliverable. And Gini adds that it extends to one-on-one meetings with your team, which can be used to get the specific decisions needed from you. Written content is increasingly hard to trust, and Chip admits even he can’t reliably tell his own writing from AI output. Video helps close that gap for now. So does the handwritten note, which Chip still sends to podcast guests when he can track down an address. He jokes that the illegibility is proof of authenticity. In person beats everything. Chip pushes agency owners to budget for it deliberately, with clients, prospects, and remote team members alike. Gini mentions the Augusta Rule as one way to offset some of those costs, though both are quick to say talk to your accountant before you try to benefit from it. Key takeaways Chip Griffin: “In the age of AI, meetings are even more valuable than they were before because you can’t fake this kind of interaction.” Gini Dietrich: “The more time you can spend with a client or with a prospect really understanding their business, the way that they operate day to day, their pain points — those are the kinds of conversations that are gonna make you smarter.” Chip Griffin: “When you hit that inevitable rough patch somewhere down the road, and we all hit rough patches with our clients at one point or another, it gives you that oftentimes reservoir of goodwill that you can draw on because you made that human connection.” Gini Dietrich: “My day-to-day contact there became one of my closest friends. She’s one of my closest friends today, even though we haven’t worked together in 20 years, and the reason being is that we got together in person all the time.” View Transcript The following is a computer-generated transcript. Please listen to the audio to confirm accuracy. Chip Griffin: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: And I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And Gini, I think we’re, we’re people people. We’re- Gini Dietrich: We’re people people? Chip Griffin: I’m a people person, so that make us people people. People- People … people. We’ll just keep saying the word people. But in all seriousness, the age of AI, everything seems to be impersonal, so that opens the door to be more friendly to actual people, to be more personable. And so I think we can talk about how we can set ourselves apart as agencies, as leaders in this age where the tech seems to do almost everything for us. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. You know, it’s funny that this conversation is happening right now because I’m coming to this conversation straight from our bimonthly learning session internally. And one of the things that we talked about today was, you know, how to use AI, our critical thinking skills, but also how to use questioning and probing with it- new business prospects and with clients to be able to uncover the real problems of what they’re, the real pain points of what they’re facing versus just the surface level, “I have a measurement problem,” kinds of things. And it’s, it’s definitely not something that you can rely on AI for. You have to actually use your people skills to be able to do that kind of work, and that’s what we spent about an hour going through internally today. Chip Griffin: Yeah, I mean, there’s, there’s so many more opportunities now to leverage the human connection piece with your clients, with your prospects, with your team because so much of what they’re seeing is AI slop. Is technology-driven. And, and whether that’s the pitches that we get in our inbox, and you sit there and you’re like, “I know AI generated this and sent it to me,” and all that. And so trying to find ways where you can break through and make a human relatable interaction with somebody and provide real human insight in those conversations gives you the opportunity to do things that, you know, a couple years ago nobody would’ve paid attention. Now they do. Gini Dietrich: Right. Right. Yeah. You know, one of the things I always talk about is, especially with content, and I think this applies here as well, is demonstrating your experience and expertise because nobody else can do that. And I think if, as you’re thinking about those human relations and the people skills and actually interacting with actual human beings, where you can demonstrate experience and expertise is really what’s going to set you apart in all of those conversations. Because nobody else has your experience or expertise. You know, they may have some of the similar experience, and they may have similar expertise, but nobody does it exactly the same way that you do. And I think being able to demonstrate that in your conversations is where you will win every time. Chip Griffin: Well, I think the key is having actual conversations. Gini Dietrich: Fair. Start there. Chip Griffin: I was talking with a leader today who said, “Look, I just, I don’t even have time to read half the stuff that comes in, even from my direct reports. And so for me, the best way to interact with all of my direct reports is through actual conversations, either in person or by video call because that’s, that’s the only way I have an opportunity to focus on it.” And so, you know, I, I know that we all are of the mindset, geez, you know, we don’t want to be meeting to death and all of that, but I would argue that in the age of AI, meetings are even more valuable than they were before because you can’t fake this kind of interaction. Gini Dietrich: Right. Chip Griffin: If you’re engaging with somebody on Zoom or Teams, I mean, sure, you could have one of those AI apps that, that, you know, the kids are apparently using to interview these days where it puts the answers up on the screen or whatever. I don’t know. But the reality is nobody’s really doing that that I know of, in the agency and client world. So, you know, it’s reasonable to assume that you are actually being yourself when you are communicating with a client, prospect, or team member. And so take advantage of those opportunities. Don’t say, “Well, this could’ve been an email.” Well, yeah, it probably could’ve been, but people are gonna think that was generated by AI. So, you know, don’t meeting yourself to death, but certainly be more open to meetings than you might’ve been five years ago. Gini Dietrich: And I would add to that, that I think the person you mentioned a few minutes ago, I think that’s exactly right. You know, at, I mean, as my agency grows and as we get bigger and, and like the amount of stuff that comes at me every day is impossible to keep up with, and the meetings, especially the one-to-one meetings that I have with my team that are most effective are the ones that they say, “I need this decision, this decision, and this decision,” and then they walk me through so that I’m not having to review decks. I’m not having to review documents. They walk me through what they’re doing. They walk me through their problem-solving, and they walk me through the decisions that they need from me to be able to move forward. Otherwise, it’s gonna sit on my to-do list for two or three weeks when they can use a one-to-one really effectively that way. So I think you’re absolutely right. You don’t necessarily have to have more meetings. You just need to use them more effectively. Chip Griffin: Right. And I mean, even before the age of AI, I always told all my direct reports, “Use those one-on-one meetings to just get every answer you need from me.” Yep. It, it’s the best way… you’ve got me focused. Take advantage of that. Absolutely. Don’t walk away saying, “Geez, I should’ve asked him this.” If you can get the answer, get the answer. And I think we can, we can do that, but it’s also your opportunity to show that you’ve actually got the knowledge yourself in these conversations. You’re not relying on AI to spoon-feed it all to you because, I mean, let’s face it, you know, we’ve all come to distrust the content we see from almost everybody- Mm-hmm … and say, “Well geez, is that really theirs or did that come from AI?” And people are, they’re trying to say, “Oh, well, I can identify the AI.” You can’t. I guarantee you can’t. I can’t tell the difference between my writing and AI writing unless I do a forensic analysis and go back to figure out who wrote the first draft of something. Yeah. And I think that, I mean, honestly, I think the people who have the toughest time with that are the people who, you know, were prolific writers before because prolific writers tended to write in a certain way, which is what the LLM’s all trained on. So, you know, those of us who were professional writers … we used a lot of em dashes. That taught the LLMs, “Use em dashes.” Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: Now, you use an em dash, you must be using AI. Yeah. Baloney. Baloney. Gini Dietrich: Baloney. I still use an em dash, and I will die on that hill because I am not going to stop. Chip Griffin: No. And, that’s the human style that we used to be able to express in writing. I think it’s becoming increasingly difficult to truly express yourself in written form, in a way that is fully trusted by folks. And so I think the, you know, for now at least, there is also an opportunity to do more video in your content creation. Because while, yes, you can fake AI, and that’s getting really good, to be honest with you, the avatars you can create and, and I could create it as if this show was me talking, and nobody would be any the wiser. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: It’s still rare that that’s happening today. Right. So for now, you have that opportunity to make that human person-to-person connection through video, and so I’m encouraging everybody to do more video. Maybe not instead of the written, but at least in conjunction with it, because it helps to show that you’re putting these thoughts and ideas into your own voice and not just, you know, generating something with Claude or ChatGPT and shipping it without a thought. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. And in person, if you can do it in person, I would recommend that as well. Chip Griffin: Oh, in person’s even better. Gini Dietrich: Like, yeah. Like, I mean, I- absolutely, because- Chip Griffin: ‘Cause you really can’t fake it in person, at least not yet. Gini Dietrich: You definitely cannot fake it in person. Chip Griffin: I mean, we, we don’t have convincing holograms out there that someone  can’t tell is a hologram. Not yet. Not yet. Gini Dietrich: Not yet. I am very much looking forward to that, but not yet. Chip Griffin: Well, I mean, I, I do believe- Mm-hmm … that the world needs more of us out there physically. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: I mean, we could take the Chip and Gini Show on the road- Gini Dietrich: We could … Chip Griffin: without having to, to leave anywhere. Just have the AI do it all for us. Gini Dietrich: Fantastic. I love it. Yeah. We’ll just be like Princess Leia and we’ll beam in. I love it. Let’s do it. I think that’s fantastic. Chip Griffin: Ah, yes. But I mean, I think there are other ways that you can make those personal connections. You know, one of the things that I’ve done for a number of years now is I’ve done handwritten notes to people on a weekly basis. Not everybody every week, obviously, but you know- Gini Dietrich: I’ve never gotten a handwritten note from you. Chip Griffin: Uh, I think you did, like, at the very start of this show, I think. I believe I did, but I would have to go back and- Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I think you might be right. Okay, I take it back … Chip Griffin: pretty, pretty sure that you did. I- All right you know, I, I try not to overdo it because at some point it- Fine … it gets cheapened. But, generally speaking, when I have a podcast guest on, for example, I send them a handwritten note after the episode goes out, assuming I have their address. I mean, that’s obviously a challenge in some cases. Sure. And it gets a little creepy when you start asking people for their addresses sometimes. So you gotta … It’s, it’s not as easy as it once was, and sending something to a business address- Right … doesn’t necessarily get there anymore. Yeah, yeah. But when you can get an address to send them a personal handwritten note, it stands out today ’cause nobody gets any mail. Yep. Nobody sees things that aren’t electronic, and even though, in my case, nobody can read my handwriting, but they still know that I put the thought into it. That’s right. Yep. And the fact that they can’t read it tells them it’s real, right? Because if I paid one of the services, ’cause you can pay services that will, you know- Gini Dietrich: To type it out, yeah Chip Griffin: well, no, will do a fake handwritten- Gini Dietrich: Oh, yeah, yeah … Chip Griffin: thing. But it’s computer generated, so it’s, it’s fully legible. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: There’s no way anybody would pay for what I send. I mean, it’s just, it’s … I mean, I can’t read half of what I write. And I try. I, I do try, but I just have horrible, horrible penmanship. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I think that you’re right. Any way that we can create the human-to-human interaction, and lots, there are lots of tools available today that make it easy for us, that’s gonna be, that’s, that is going to set us apart. And like I said to my team earlier today, the more time you can spend with a client or with a prospect really understanding their business, the way that they operate day to day, their pain points, the business’ pain points, those are the kinds of conversations that are gonna make you smarter. And if you use AI, you take that transcript and you dump it in there and say, “These are the kinds of things I’m thinking about. Can you poke some holes in it or tell me what I’m missing?” For sure you can do that, but do that after the conversation so that you, you understand, you can demonstrate your experience and your expertise and really have that human-to-human interaction. Chip Griffin: Well, and, leaning into something you said before- Look for those opportunities where you can get together with people in person. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: And so again, I think the value of that has been elevated. It’s always been important and useful to, to meet with clients, prospects, team members in person, but I think it’s even more valuable today because, you know, we, as we talked about, you can’t fake that kind of interaction. Technology isn’t doing it for you. But it also allows you to elevate yourself over other people they may be interacting with, whether that’s a prospect looking at different firms, or whether that’s an employee who’s like, “Well, I, I feel disconnected ’cause we’re remote.” I mean, we, we talk about the importance of if you’re running a remote agency, which many of you are, you need to have regular in-person get-togethers, and you need to have budget to get people to travel. If they’re not all local, you still need to bring them in because those human interactions that you have by getting together, meeting in person, sharing a meal, sharing a coffee, those are all things that allow you to strengthen the connection and really set yourself apart in the age of AI. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, and I think you said something really, really important, which is set the budget. So as you’re budgeting – granted, I know not everybody budgets every year, but you should be doing that. As you’re doing that, set some budget aside for these kinds of things. And I will tell you, and certainly I am not an accountant, I am not a finance professional, but in many cases, you can… Even if you host that in your home, something like that in your home, not have people stay there, but host, like, strategy planning meetings or things like that in your home, you can deduct some of that from your taxes. So you can… There’s, there are ways that you can do it so it’s not actually costing you money on top of, like, it’s something that’s deductible. So, you know, talk to your accountant about that, but there are some things that you can do to offset some of those costs, too. Chip Griffin: Yeah, it’s, you’re talking about the Augusta rule. So when you talk with your accountant, ask about the Augusta rule. It is something that is potentially useful, but please, dear God, do talk to your accountant before you do this- Gini Dietrich: Yes, please. Please. … Chip Griffin: Because I’ve talked with some folks, they see someone online say, “Oh, you should use the Augusta rule,” and they’re like, “Oh, cool. Well, I’ll just do…” No, there’s actual proper steps that you have to go through to prove that it’s a legitimate expense, to prove the amount and all of that kind of stuff. So, so please, do make sure that, because it is, that is one of the more complicated areas of tax law, and so you really wanna make sure that you’re getting that one correct so that- Gini Dietrich: Yeah, just- … Chip Griffin: they don’t come in and whack you for- Gini Dietrich: Take our advice to, take our advice to look into it. Yeah. Do not take our advice to just implement it. Chip Griffin: Right. But regardless of how you go about getting together in person, the important thing, at least for this episode, is that you do it, because that does, it, it strengthens that human connection, which pays all sorts of dividends. I mean, even with clients, getting together in person, it, it helps you. You can read body language in ways that you can’t do even on a video call. You can strengthen the relationship so that when you hit that inevitable rough patch somewhere down the road, and we all hit rough patches with our clients at one point or another- it gives you that oftentimes reservoir of goodwill that you can draw on because you made that human connection, and you’re not just, you know, the other end of a contract. You are someone that they’ve gotten to know. And so we want to try to find as many ways as possible to have that relationship with everybody that we work with at every level, vendors, clients, prospects, team members. Gini Dietrich: Yep, yep. Chip Griffin: Whatever it may be. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Yeah, I mean, my newsletter that’s going out in a couple of days, talks about how Ocean Spray was one of my very first clients as a young whipper-snapper working at FleishmanHillard. And there, my day-to-day contact at, there became one of my closest friends. She’s one of my closest friends today, even though we haven’t worked together in 20 years, and the reason being is that we got together in person all the time, we traveled together, we were, you know, sort of in the, the ranks together working through all sorts of issues and challenges and, you know, building… We built a real friendship. And you can’t do that on Zoom. You just can’t. Chip Griffin: Right. And, I know we all want to be more efficient and all of that, and that’s all fine and good, and I am a huge believer in using the technology- Oh, yeah … whether it’s AI or otherwise- Gini Dietrich: Absolutely … Chip Griffin: to, to make yourself more efficient, but you can’t do that at the expense of losing that human touch. Gini Dietrich: Right. Totally. People skills, people skills, people skills. Chip Griffin: They are more important today than they have ever been. And that, that is common throughout history. As, as one thing becomes dominant, the antidote to it, if you will, or the opposite piece of it often becomes equally valuable because everybody else is ignoring it. So find those places where you can stand out, you can be a little bit different. And, many people went into the agency world because they were people people, people. I… it sounds so stupid. Gini Dietrich: People, people people, people pleasers. Person, person, people. People, pe- people Chip Griffin: ‘Cause you’re a people person- A person so if you’re people pe- I don’t know. Gini Dietrich: I don’t know either. Chip Griffin: I feel like I’ve taken this off the rails as I usually do, so maybe this is a good point to, to draw ourselves to a close here before people get peopled out. Gini Dietrich: We are all people people. People people. Chip Griffin: Makes me think of that old song, what is it, the, The Purple People Eater or something like that? Gini Dietrich: Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking of at the beginning. Yeah. Yep. Chip Griffin: Yeah. Which if I could remember it, I wouldn’t sing it anyway because we’d probably get a copyright strike, so. Or maybe not. I don’t know. I don’t know how all that stuff works. I wouldn’t either. On that note, uh, I’m definitely careening off the rails here, so we will draw this episode to a close. Thanks for listening. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And it depends.

Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov

Time for some country comedy today, courtesy of the legendary Sheb Wooley who was a fine actor and songwriter as well as comic performer. Sheb started out as a rodeo rider, as well as a guitar and fiddle man. When injuries from the rodeo kept him out of the military in WWII, Sheb pivoted to music scoring his first his with a bona-fide rock and roll novelty classic, The Purple People Eater. From there Sheb kept racking up the hits, using the name Ben Colder when contractual issues kept him from issuing new material. He also was a solid western actor with key roles in Rawhide and High Noon and Sheb's theme song for the long-running show Hee Haw became an ear worm in the 1970s (and beyond). So with his singing, songwriting, and acting all winning awards you can say Sheb was a rural renaissance man. As always find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Sheb? One bit of Sheb trivia -- he was responsible for recording a scream that was subsequently used in many movies over the years. Known as the Wilhelm scream, Sheb laid it to tape back in 1951. https://youtu.be/rksd5v43zxI?si=ZiKwMhgjmzNQoLMj Sheb's first hit was a rock and roll novelty classic -- The Purple People Eater. Here's Sheb performing the song on The Ed Sullivan Show back in 1958.https://youtu.be/67tKNEsJjTI?si=flFb593sqlzYaWwO When legal issues prevented Sheb from releasing songs under his own name it was no problem -- Sheb simply morphed into Ben Colder -- a parody of a frequently inebriated country songwriter -- who would lampoon the country hits of the day. Sheb continued to release songs under both names for the rest of his career. https://youtu.be/NVGtxbN2yGs?si=7Ah1rXPiCxd0qKeE If you have ever had the theme to the television show Hee Haw stuck in your brain you have Sheb to thank or curse. Besides being a frequent guest, Sheb composed the theme way back in 1969. https://youtu.be/KBEreTkQbds?si=RTvcGJfy6VZom0mr      

Would you believe the novelty song “The Purple People Eater" was a number 1 hit? Did you know that 30 years after its release, a movie was made based on the song? And here's something even crazier: songwriter and vocalist Sheb Wooley recorded a stock audio scream that's been used in thousands of films and TV shows! It's Halloween at One Hit Thunder, and we're diving into Mr. Wooley's bizarre and fascinating career!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 25, 2023 is: envisage • in-VIZ-ij • verb To envisage something is to picture it in your mind, or to view or regard something in a particular way. // She envisages many positive changes and opportunities in the New Year. See the entry > Examples: “Amid all his onscreen work, [Sheb] Wooley never stopped writing songs. And the one that took off … was ‘The Purple People Eater,' which skewered the musical crazes of the time by envisaging a grotesque space invader taking the bait.” — Morgan Enos, UDiscoverMusic.com, 31 Oct. 2023 Did you know? Envisage this: a word is borrowed from French in the mid-17th century and sticks around to be used in the 21st. It's not hard to picture; envisage is not alone in this accomplishment. Used today to mean “to have a mental picture of something, especially in advance of realization” and “to view or regard something in a certain way,” envisage for a time could also mean “to confront or face someone.” That use, which is now archaic, nods to the word's origin: we borrowed envisage from French, but the visage part is from Anglo-French vis, meaning “face.” (It reaches back ultimately to Greek idein, “to see.”) Visage is of course also an English word. It entered English much earlier, in the 14th century, and is typically used today in literary contexts to refer to a person's face. Envisage isn't necessarily restricted to literary contexts, but it does have a formal tone. Its near twin envision (“to picture to oneself”), which has been with us since the 19th century, is interchangeable with envisage in many contexts and is somewhat less formal.

Today (Nov 3) is World Jellyfish Day - a day to celebrate these remarkable sea creatures that have been around for around 500 million years and are older than the dinosaurs! The purple people eater jellyfish (also known as the night-light jellyfish and the mauve stinger) is a little jelly that packs a punch! It has stinging cells all over its body and has been known to wipe out entire fish farms.

What happens when a traditional Irish song is rewritten about zombies? And I have CDs!!!! If you didn't say, “You have Cds…”, you'll find out why it's important. It's kind of funny. This is Sci Fi Pub Songs & Stories #268. 0:16 - “Isn't It Grand Boys” from Happy Songs of Death 4:09 - WELCOME TO SCI FI PUB SONGS & STORIES This is the audio edition of my newsletter. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a rhythm and folk Celtic musician living in Atlanta, Georgia. I play traditional Irish and Scottish drinking songs. I'm also a songwriter. I write songs inspired by Celtic culture as well as pop culture, things like Lord of the Rings, Firefly, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who and more. If you're new to the show, please subscribe. You can do that PubSong.com/free or even better or you can subscribe and download all of my songs in this show.

While you're emailing me to get your free EP, let me know what you're doing while listening to this episode. We kicked off the show… 5:04 - WHAT'S NEW STORY I really should talk more about the stuff I sell in my store. But it feels uncomfortable to do so. That's one of the reasons if you go to any of my live shows, and I say, “I have Cds”. Audience members will shout “you have Cdddsss?!” It's a little gimmick I use to draw attention to my merch. And it's really catchy. I was listening to the last episode of the podcast about writing drinking songs. While I talked about my song “The Cat Came Back… the Cat's Perspective,”. It's from my C-D… And then I paused, just like I do at live shows. When I listened to the episode, I responded, “You have CDs…” It got me thinking. Could we do that same thing through a podcast? I don't know. But we're gonna try. We're gonna make this podcast into a sort of an interactive drinking game. Each time I mention CDs, your job is to audibly respond, “you have CDs…” 6:25 - UPCOMING SHOWS APR 1-9: Sherwood Forest Faire, Paige, TX APR 6: Dragon Con Filk Music Concert with Brobdingnagian Bards @ 7 PM CST APR 20: Cat Drinking Songs on Bandcamp @ 7 PM EAST APR 21-23: Jordan Con, Atlanta, GA APR 29.

But if you send an email to pubsong@celtfather with a short comment about the show… or just mentioning CDs that you love, that's a great way for us to interact and have more of a conversation. In fact, if you need a starter, I'd love it if you would grab your phone. Go to your voice recorder app. Say, “You have Cds”. Then email it to me. Marisa Halvorson emailed: "Hello Marc! I have been listening to your songs practically nonstop this St. Paddy's season (I'm in NOLA and work on Magazine street so season it is) I had to work on the day the Irish Channel parade rolled and definitely enjoyed it more with your songs keeping me company while locked in my building by parade goers. Thank you for always keeping me company and my spirits up with your music." Kennedy Johnson emailed: "Happy St Patricks Day to you Marc.  I hope you and your family are well on this day of Green & Orange

If aliens were ever to come to this planet, they will find millions of indifferent plants and animals, and a very unpredictable curious bunch of humans. Some humans will gather weapons and prepare for war, some will extend a friendly hand, and some will run around in circles screaming like their hair is on fire. What ATTT plans to do is to beam them this playlist. Songs About Aliens run the gamut in style and approach, and our good friend Gabe Scalone joins the pod for a look at the best songs about those creatures from far far away.Get more ATTT in your life!

For his third film, Jordan Peele looks to the skies–and what he finds doesn't want to be seen. This week, Paul and Arlo say yup to Nope, Peele's celebration and evisceration of spectacle. The boys discuss the widening of Peele's horizons in the summer blockbuster mode; how the film reveres Spielberg while offering a pointed rebuttal to Jaws; Daniel Kaluuya's quiet intensity; and why first-time viewing Arlo is always the dumbest Arlo. Plus, a tribute to cinematic titan Jean-Luc Godard.   NEXT: more spectacle, as Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman reunite in Taika Waititi's Thor: Love and Thunder.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:56  -  Intro / RIP Jean-Luc Godard 00:06:47  -  Nope 02:11:52  -  Outro / Next     LINKS   “'Nope' Explores the Horrors of Exploiting Animals for Spectacle” by Molly Kusilka, Collider “Jordan Peele's Nope, explained” by Alissa Wilkinson, Vox “Inside the Eerie UFO Design for Jordan Peele's ‘Nope'” by Emma Stefansky, Thrillist “This Influential Anime Inspired The Final Alien Design In Nope” by Erin Brady, SlashFilm “NOPE'S SCIENCE CONSULTANT REVEALS THE NAME AND INSPIRATION FOR THE MOVIE'S ALIEN” by Melissa T.

Welcome back from the long weekend and, in a way, from the summer! We figured you might have some things to say on a day like today, and we've been doing these shows a couple times a month where we don't book any guests, where we fill the hour with your calls. And your calls have been interesting and surprising and amusing. This hour, the conversation winds around to commercial creep on public radio, “The Purple People Eater” and Nope, defenders and detractors of our new radio promos, the Cary Grant movie People Will Talk(which we carelessly left out of our rom-coms show), the circular economy (and Amazon taking its damn boxes back), legendary Connecticut broadcaster Bob Steele, and legendary march maker John Philip Sousa. Anything. (Seemingly) everything. These shows are fun for us, and they seem to be fun for you, too. So we did another one. Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter. The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe and never miss an episode!

You are being watched. What does it feel like? Do you enjoy know that someone can see everything about you?----------Episode 48: “We See Your Face.”Those who know me, know that I love technology.I am absolutely fascinated with the things that man has created through the years.Cars, planes, phones, refrigerators, radio, TV, spaceships, and even social media.I can remember watching TV as Neil Armstrong walked around on the moon. It was a live broadcast! Of course it was delayed a few seconds because of the distance and because it had to be relayed from earth stations that had massive antennas. But it was live!In my lifetime, I've seen the development of microwave ovens, wireless phones (which are more powerful than the computers NASA used for the moon missions), heart transplants, and …The list could go on and on.In case you don't know, man did not evolve from a primordial soup (I'll save my evolution talk for another day).The Bible clearly teaches that man was created in God's image and he was intelligent from the beginning.If you know the story of the Tower of Babel, you'll know that God chose to confuse the languages and scatter the people around the world because man was so intelligent.“And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.”Genesis 11:6-7Think about that.God said since they could speak the same language “nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”We've seen that demonstrated through the centuries of human history.ARTIFICIAL BODY PARTS“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”I am reminded of that truth with every step I take.Walking was almost an impossibility for me because my knees hurt so much.Then a doctor put me to sleep, cut out my bad knees, and put in new ones.Now I walk without pain.I love technology.HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”I am also reminded of that truth every time I leave my house.Before I go out the door, I turn on my home security system.It can tell if someone opens a door or breaks a window.Its motion detector can even tell if someone just moves inside my house.And if my system detects an intrusion, my security system will contact the police.I know the system works because I was taking care of my daughter's dog one day and I left the house, forgetting to set system to allow for the dog's presence.Well, my security system's motion detector picked up on the dog's movement and when I returned home there were a couple of police officers at my door.They wouldn't even let me enter the premises until they had checked the house.Still, I love technology.TALKING TO ALEXA“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”And then there's my personal assistant — Alexa.I think Alexa is a “she” because she sounds like a she, but then I'm not very woke so I could be terribly wrong and needing to grovel before the truly woke and beg for forgiveness … which probably wouldn't be given, but that's another story.Not wanting to become a phobic something or other, I asked Alexa what her personal pronoun was and she responded, “I'm an AI so I don't have a preference.”Since she doesn't have a preference and since I bought her … she is a she.Back to Alexa and how I use her.If I wonder what the definition of a word is, I just ask Alexa and she tells me.If I want to translate a phrase into another language, I just ask Alexa and she gives me the translation.If I want to know if a local store is open, I just ask Alexa and she tells me the hours of operation and offers to call the store for me.My wife and I have devotions each morning and one of the things we do is read a section from the Bible. We have our Bibles open and then I ask Alexa to read aloud to us. She does.One script I am working on is set in the 1920's and 30's. To help get me get a feel for the time period, I ask to Alexa play songs from those years. It's the music my characters would have listened to.During the day I often ask Alexa to play “inspirational hymns.”Sometimes I just run through a list of songs I remember from my younger days — classics like “Purple People Eater,” “Beep, Beep,” “Love Letters in the Sand,” “When I Fall in Love,” “Itsy, Bitsy, Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini.”You know, the really good stuff.And sometimes I'll ask Alexa to play the songs from a musical — Oklahoma, Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof, or one of the other musicals I remember from my youth – back in the time when I was considering acting as a possible career.At night, my wife and I like to read a book together. We get comfortable and I ask Alexa to read the current Audible selection we are working through. Alexa picks right up where she left off the previous night.Before I go to bed, I ask Alexa to turn off the lights in the house and set the alarm for the next day. When the alarm goes off in the morning, Alexa gives me an encouraging phrase and tells me the weather report for the day.It's amazing.Yep. I love technology.But … there are some concerns with Alexa.She listens all the time. To everything.Now Amazon promises that she only listens when she “hears” the keyword. But that means she has to be listening all the time to hear the keyword.Which begs the question, what does she do with what she hears?Amazon says not to worry. And I can trust Amazon … can't I?Which brings me to today's topic.WE SEE YOUR FACE“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”You've probably heard of facial recognition, but it is amazing how far that technology has come in recent years.A camera — and there are cameras everywhere — captures a picture of you and almost immediately knows who you are and a lot of stuff about you, some of it very personal.Perhaps your phone requires you to take a picture of yourself so you can access its features.Perhaps you have to take a picture of yourself and submit it online in order to use certain products, especially those dealing with your finances.Perhaps you work in a place where facial recognition is used to allow you to enter certain parts of the building.Some of the uses of facial recognition seem helpful.WE SEE YOU COMINGOne company, Cloudastructure, has a product that was particularly useful during the pandemic. Not only would it recognize who was heading into a business, it also would detect if the individual was wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, and it also used a thermal camera to detect the individual's temperature.Pretty nifty, huh?(NOTE: I did invest in the company.)GOTTCHA!“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”Another company, Clearview AI, has used it's tools to scrape more than 20 billion images from the internet and tied them to names of individuals. The company sells its services to several thousand agencies - mostly law enforcement - around the world.In the U.S. that includes the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.Suppose a local police department has a fuzzy picture of a crime being committed that was captured on a business' security camera.If the department is a user of Clearview AI, they submit the image and, if the individual in the picture is in one of those 20 billion images it gathered from the internet, the police department would receive back information about the person in the picture.You can see why law enforcement agencies like this product, but some people are concerned this technology puts our individual privacy at great risk.If you would like to find out more about this company, there is an interview with the founder on YouTube, “Controversial Facial Recognition Founder Opens Up - Clearview A.I.” It's about an hour and one-half, so it's only for those of you who have a lot of time.MAKING TRAVEL EASIER“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”And it's not just identifying bad guys.In Moscow's Metro system, they are testing a face recognition system to pay for a ride. All a traveler has to do is look at the camera near the entry gate, their credit card is charged, and they can board the Metro.Check out the 7 minute video below.Convenient isn't it?No credit cards to pull out of your pocket, or passes that you have to display. Just look at the camera and board the Metro.Isn't technology wonderful?Which brings up the question.WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?Well, China is using the technology to monitor their entire population. Check out the 6 minute video below. This video is almost four years old so you can be certain the technology has become much more powerful.Notice what kind of control facial recognition gives to a government.“… nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”They know when you leave your house, who you hang around with, if you leave an area where you have been told to stay, if you belong to a certain group, when you go to the market.The technology has developed so it can even read a person's emotions.The citizens are under constant surveillance.“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear,” the government reassures its citizens.But one writer who was fired from his job says, “You can't do anything the government dislikes.”The government even uses the technology to name and shame individuals who break any law.How would you like your name and photo displayed on a large monitor on a building for everyone to see because you took more toilet paper than you were allowed to use at a restroom, or if you jay walked?That's one of the ways the government tries to discourage crime.STOP AND THINKIt's time to stop and think now.If a government, any government, has access to facial recognition technology, do you think it would use the technology to control the population?“Population” is just another word for you.I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat or Independent.Would the government use such a tool against you?I may have mentioned that I love technology.But I am also terrified about technology as I see the power it can give to a government.TRANSITION for ReviewsI have a recommendation for you. “Created Equal” is a documentary about Clarence Thomas. Most people only know what the media has told them about Clarence Thomas, which is just another way of saying they know very little that is true, if anything at all.Whether you like or dislike Justice Thomas, I would encourage you to watch the movie or read the book or listen to the audible book and learn from Clarence Thomas' own words what it was like for him to grow up in a poor neighborhood, what it was like to experience racism, and many of the experiences that helped him develop as a young man, a lawyer, and eventually a Supreme Court Justice.I love to share some of the articles I read with you. Here are some stories I found interesting recently. I have links to the original sources in the show notes.“War on words: Left seeks to redefine terms like female, pedophile and even recession” by Natalia Mittelstadt. We see this almost daily. If a word makes a “politically correct” action look disgusting, you can solve the problem by changing the definition of the word.“Multiple-Abortion Survivor Says God Helped Her Forgive Birth Parents Who Did Everything to Abort Her” by Louise Chambers. An adopted girl sets out to find her birth parents and why they didn't want her.“Why College Degrees Are Working Against Many Job-Seekers” by Isaac Morehouse. As a former high school administrator, I've counseled many students about their post-high school plans. If you or a friend or family member is considering college, you might want to read this article.Before I go I'd like to share a blessing with you from the Old Testament.“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord's face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.”Numbers 6:24-26 (The Living Bible)Until next time … be the reason someone smiles today!Clint This is a public episode.

Can the Minnesota Vikings' new defensive scheme under Ed Donatell get back to a place where it is consistently stout against the run? Kwesi Adofo-Mensah signed a young Harrison Phillips to answer that. “Horrible Harry” as he is known is coming off his rookie contract and hitting free agency. The big plug in the middle should be hitting his prime with the Vikings much like Lineal Joseph and Pat Williams did years before him. Can he uphold that standard that both of them created and continue to be that immovable object in the middle and stop the run? That's the idea! The roster is full right now as everyone finishes their vacations and is prepping for training camp at the end of the month. We all know the team will have just over a month to decide on who will be on the final 53. Darren saw what Kevin Seifert of ESPN wrote and wants to see if we agree. Will you? Who will be cut, especially knowing that the new regime heading up the Vikings has no ties to them other than to provide them the best opportunity for a free and fair evaluation since they took over? Can those 3rd rounders from last year get a chance to prove themselves, or will they be passed by Kwesi's and Kevin O'Connell's draftees from this year's class? As most Vikings fans know, especially those of us with a grey hair or two, the one Purple People Eater that has yet to make the Hall of Fame has made the finalist list of 25 players to be selected for the class of '23. Is 2023 the year that the great Jim Marshall gets finally selected? Oh, we hope so! You can join us in discussing why he deserves to be there. Will he make it? Darren Campbell and David Stefano are the Two Old Bloggers. Both started their public commentary on the Vikings two decades ago on various blogs. They now do it via live streams on YouTube and Facebook. We appreciate your team fandom and that you take the time to enjoy it with us. Here are the themes for the show: Theme #1 – Can Harrison Phillips fix the Vikings run defense all by himself? Theme #2 – Projecting the Vikings roster in 2022  Theme #3 – Is 2023 Jim Marshall's year? Join us for your Minnesota Vikings talk amongst Two Old Bloggers and join the conversation! Fan with us!!!

Hello, kaiju lovers! Our season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, “creeps and leaps and slides and glides” along when MIFV MAX member Eric Anderson joins Nate to discuss 1958's The Blob. This was Steve McQueen's debut as a 30-year-old teenager dating the future TV wife of Andy Griffith. This classic of 1950s sci-fi cinema was an independent film produced by a studio known for making religious and educational films, which makes it doubly appropriate that the founder of Nerd Chapel (who's also a substitute teacher) is on today's episode. Being an influential indie film is also probably why, believe it or not. it's in the Criterion Collection. The Toku Topic is a phenomenon related to the true story that inspired this kooky film: star jelly. Check out all things Nerd Chapel here: http://nerdchapel.com/. The “See the Goo” promo was written by The Monster Island Board of Directors. The epilogue, “Ozaki's Message,” was written by Nathan Marchand. Additional music: “The Blob” by The Five Blobs “Pacific Rim” by Niall Stenson “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “Numbness & Knives” by HoboKa Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ. Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip. We'd like to give a shout-out to our MIFV MAX patrons Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton (co-hosts of Kaiju Weekly); Danny DiManna (author/creator of the Godzilla Novelization Project); Eli Harris (elizilla13); Chris Cooke (host of One Cross Radio); Bex from Redeemed Otaku; Damon Noyes, The Cel Cast, TofuFury, Eric Anderson of Nerd Chapel, and Ted Williams!
