Yeah that doesn't sound fun.  Did you know there hasn't been a non-republican or non-democratic president since 1853?


I haven't seen so many mayors considering a run for the oval office before: mayors from New Orleans, New York city, South Bend, Indiana, etc. I think it takes a lot of guts to try to make the case that running a city is like running the country.


Yeah I would have to agree with you on that, its much different than running a city!


Giuliani was once a candidate, but he did not get very far. He shepherded NYC through 9/11 and earned some confidence from millions of citizens. I don't see anyone that comes close to that.


No, I can't think of anyone that does come close to that.  Sounds like the mayors are in a good position to campaign as outsiders.


If a former reality star can make it into the white house, then anybody that captures 15-minutes of fame at the right moment has a chance.


Yeah that is a good point, I have a good feeling that is the way a lot of people voted in this last presidential election.


I may write in a candidate: the first President of Zimbabwe: President Banana in 2020


Hey make it a comeback, I can support that myself.  Pretty much whatever is different from what we have been offered recently.


We could get the President of Indonesia to write a theme song for the candidate. After all, he did release 3 pop albums while he was in office!


Yeah I think I heard that before, I am curious to hear what those sound like!


Me too! If we win the Presidency with our candidate, then maybe we can stay at the president's guest house. I hear it is bigger than the White House!


Isn't that crazy!  I bet some very interesting people have stay at that guest house over the years.


Yeah. I wonder if the guest house can be seen on Google Earth like the White house can. When you zoom in on Google maps, you can see Barack Obama.


If it is bigger I'm sure you can, and you're just joking right?


No joke. Obama was in the White house 8 years and only vetoed 2 bills. A far cry from FDR who vetoed 635.  Nice chatting with you!


Yes, I would not want to make all the decisions a president has to make every day.  I would be constantly second guessing myself.


Must be hard, everyone criticizes you and then you are the responsible of any mayor screw ups, its a hard job


True, did you know the president's guest house is bigger than the White House?


I did not know that, do you know who the wealthiest presidents in the history of the US are ?


I would guess John F. Kennedy.  I know his family is incredibly wealthy


Yeah he is #1 then there's Washington and last Jefferson.


I wonder where the current president ranks.  It might be hard to tell because some people believe he exaggerates his level of wealth.


I think its hard to know his actual wealth when he hides all that info from the public. Funny how theres a president called Banana


President Banana?  I do not know who that is?


He is the first president of Zimbabwe, Canaan Banana, he sure has a strange name.


Sorry, i dozed off there for a second.  Interesting.  Did you know the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office?


Really 3 pop albums? I guess things are slow in Indonesia lately, he must have a  lot of free time


Times are a changing.  I heard that Mark Cuban is seriously considering running for president.  One businessman turned reality TV star running against another,  Weird


It cant be worse than Trump lol no one could be worse than him, sorry if you are a Trump supporter, its just an opinion.


No need to apologize especially since we agree.  I think history will wonder what the hack happened in 2016


Yeah that will be a thing to meditate about hopefully he doesn't get a second term many people seem to support him still


As sad as it makes me I think he has a chance to be reelected.  He has a solid 30-35% who will support no matter what crazy thing he says or does.  I think it depends on whether the Democrats can find a candidate that gets people excited, gets them out to vote and end this ridiculous nightmare


Thats the thing, theres not a strong candidate maybe Arnold could be the next president he is popular and I think he can do great things in office.


And i as much as i would like to see he impeached, I almost think the Dems should not try.  If they fail it will rally his supporters and maybe even make him stronger


I agree and also the vice president seems like a worse option, just let him finish his term and try to forget about him, hope time flies fast anyways its been great chatting, I think im calling it a night


Do you really believe Kim Jong-un was voted sexiest man?


That is hard to believe but it was The Onion so I'm sure it was done facetiously. I think it's even sadder that China actually believes it to be true.


That's a good question. You know what really surprises me though is we don't know how old Kim truly is. I don't understand why that information is a mystery!


I don't understand how they cannot know how old he is.  That should be easily obtainable.


Agreed! But then again, seeing as how he's editing pictures to depict history in a different way, he is obviously an untrustworthy character. I could not live in a country ran by him!


I think every thing about him is a lie.  Learning how to drive at 3?  I thought it was a feat my kid could ride a 2 wheeler at that age.  I suspect the degree in Pysics as well


So true! I mean, he even ordered the assassination of his own brother and execution of his uncle for treachery. So he truly can't be trusted at all.


I think he is at least trying but I did see something today that the talks ended abruptly between him and Trump. I think today


Well that's good and hopefully so! I wonder if Kim likes sports? Speaking of sports, are you a fan of basketball? I think it's crazy that the highest paid employees in 39 states are either college football or basketball coaches!


That was surprising to me too.  I didn't realize that basketball coaches made so much money!


Agreed. It is surprising! Did you know there's also a basketball court on the top floor of the supreme court building which they call the "highest court in the land". Ha!


I still can't get over the name of the new zealnad's basketball team.  That is a hoot and no way would be allowed in America.


Agreed. It's so racist! Also, did you hear that the guy who invented basketball, James Naismith is the only losing coach in the University of Kansas' history? That's ironic! Ha!


That was surprising too.  I wonder when it was "invented"  I wonder if the slam dunk is still banned from college games?


I wonder that as well! I know it was banned for over a decade! Man, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar must have been a monster dunker!


I'm sure it is. Did you know there's one episode where Bart never makes an appearance nor is even mentioned? I bet that's weird never seeing Bart in a Simpson's episode!


I wonder if a lot of folks even noticed he was not there?


I know, right? Speaking of The Simpson's, the crew actually sent the South Park producers flowers after they aired the Family Guy episode. That was nice of them!


It would be cool if they did both shows together with the characters intermixing


Agreed! If they do, hopefully it lasts longer than the UK remake of 70s Show. Sadly, it only lasted ten episodes. Well it was great chatting with you today! Take care, friend!


quite a bit. do you have any favorite shows?


I am a big fan of Family Guy, American Dad, the Simpsons, and the food network


nice. I watch the simpsons as well, love that show


Did you know there is only one episode where Bart isnt seen or mentioned?


I wonder which episode that is though. I cannot recall that


Neither can I, it seems like he is always there.  I guess that is because he is only missing once.


yeah true. did you ever see that 70s show?


I ve seen a few, never fully got into that one though. Didnt the Uk try to remake that one with no success?


Not like when the Us remade the Office, where was originally in the UK


I love that show though, too funny in the US


I do too, Ive watched it several times.  Unlike where there are 750 episodes of Pokemon, and I havent seen a single one.


wow yeah, they have been in air for 16 years


Did you know that Ringo Starr acutaly narrated 52 episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine?


yeah and so did alec baldwin and george carlin


I wonder if anyone else famous ever narrated for it.


probably, I do not know. do you like horros movies?


I cant do horror movies.  After I saw Scream I kept seeing that scary mask everywhere, even when it wasnt there.  Although, I dont think Bambi is scary, like Stephen King does.


I really do not see what is scary in Bambi that he sees and we do not see


Maybe it is the tragic beginning where Bambi's mom is killed.  As a kid I could see where that could scare someone, but it is a cartoon.  So I dont get it.


Yeah me too. do you know how they make those terrible sounds?


Its something called the waterphone.  Ive never seen one in action, but I have seen something similar.


I sure do. I love to watch the SImpsons there too


Nice. Did you know there is an episode where Bart does not appear?


Yeah and even stranger he was not even mentioned in it


Yeah strange. Did you ever watch that 70s show?


Yes and I thought it was pretty good. It flopped in the UK though


Yeah but that was because they rewrote it verbatim, big mistake


Yeah I guess that explains why it lasted for only 10 episodes


Yeah that too but it has 750 episodes so no saw I saw them all


Yeah they have been on air for 16 years now and still going strong


Yeah I know crazy. Did you ever watch Thomas the Tank?


I watch some episode with my kids, it is pretty entertaining


Yeah. Did you know Alec Baldwin did the voice for 52 episodes?


Yeah as well as Ringo Starr and George Carlin, each at least 52 episodes


Yeah pretty neat. Do you like horror movies?


Not really but I know some of them are pretty good and well received


Yeah and the benefit is that you can lose about 180 more calories watching them


Oh neat. Did you know Stephen King thinks Bambi is the scariest movie?


Hmmm I guess the part where the mom dies can be seen as horror, not sure


Yeah maybe it was that part after all. Nice chat


Do you know where YouTube headquarters is?


I actually do, they are located in San Bruno.


Then they sold it to Google a year later?    Quite a windfall, do you know how much?


Yeah it was sold in November for about 1.65 billion, that was a great investment for sure!


A bunch of companies use it know.    Do you know which ones?


Some of the companies are CBS, BBC, Vevo and Hulu but Im guessing a lot more use it as well, maybe all of them lol


Probably true!     They have some sort of partnering program.   Do you know what it's called?


Im not sure what the name is but what I can tell you is that Youtube is after google the largest search engine, its #2!!


Wow.     I heard they had to change something because of the popularity of Psy's video.  What was it called?


The video is called Gangnam Style, they had to upgrade the view count, that is crazy!


Crazy for sure.    Kind of like Justin Bieber's video.    I heard it was voted worst.


Yeah It was of the song Baby, its amazing how much influence Netflix and YouTube have


True.    Police have even copied it with something called BluTube.


I heard about that isnt that like the police version? I wonder whats different about it.


Yeah, probably not great viewing unless you like law enforcement videos!


Yeah I guess so, so do you like to watch TV? time has gone by fast to think it began with just black and white colors


Yes.   I enjoy watching entertainment, news and sometimes even advertising!


Whats your favorite show? I used to like That 70's show it was really fun specially Fez.


I heard they did a version of that show in the UK


I heard that too but apparently it got cancelled on the first season, must have been pretty bad.


SOme stuff. Do you know who the three wealthiest ones are?


Yeah. Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?


Yeah they must get lots of guests and need the room for them


I guess. Do you know how the VP used to be elected?


Yes that was just the runner up during elections


Yeah. Did you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?


Yes and he was released three albums already


I know some stuff like one of Jupiter's moons could be a planet it it orbited the sun


Yeah. Did you know that Venus does not tilt at all?


Yes and that us why it has no seasons and it rotates clockwise


Yeah. There is another planted where it rains glass shards


Yes and it does so sideways at 4500 mph, scary


It sure is. Did you know Uranus does not rotate but it rolls?


Yeah and it does not spin like other planets


I sure do. Ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of them a week


Yeah that is a lot of shoes and money as well


True. 5000 year old shoes are better than they are now


Hi, how are you? What do you think of the president?


But I think he says a lot of interesting things. I was shocked to learn that he's not one of the top three richest presidents though


I figure those guys during colonial times had wealth in the form of real estate. Probably nowadays worth billions.


Yep I agree. Also Washington and Jefferson had slaves which probably helped. I wonder why they built the White House to be smaller than the actual guest house?


Which was built first? The White House might have started small because the staff was not so big. The guest house might have come much later. I don't know.


Yes I'm not sure, I do know that the president of Indonesia released three pop albums though, do you think Trump will do the same LOL?


Trump might explore a different idiom. Maybe a beefcake calendar? Maybe a poetry collection? He has an expressive soul.


Anything is possible haha. what do you think about President banana of Zimbabwe by the way?


The man will always be remembered. He had quite an a-peel! LOL


LOL I like that joke! Do you think we should go back to how presidential elections used to be? Back in 1805 the runner-up would become the vice president


That would make for an interesting dynamic. Many interesting news stories. Plus nothing would get done.


Haha I agree. Can you imagine President Trump and vice president Hillary Clinton? There would be so much drama the unbelievable


They would gossip and backstab the entire time. The entire planet would not be big enough for the both of them.


LOL I like the way you think. What do you think about our planet though? Only five planets in our solar system are actually visible to the naked eye from planet Earth


that makes sense. I heard that they have discovered new planets that were out there in our system but completely invisible. It's interesting that Venus does not tilt, so consequently, it has no seasons. it is the only planet that rotates clock-wise.


Interesting. It sounds boring though I would never want to live on that planet haha. I also would not want to live on the planet that has glass raining sideways and is 2000 degrees Fahrenheit LOL


Yes, that would put a damper on your social life. The commute would be tough too.
Astronomers detected building blocks of life in a planetary system some 455 light-years away. I wonder what that is like.


I wonder if it has human-like people on it. What do you think about the planet Uranus? I always laugh when I hear the name LOL


Your-AY- nus. +or+ Urine-ous. Either way, you got the front or the back of the body. Always good for a giggle from the junior high school crowd. But planets are a serious business! LOL


LOL I like that joke haha. Why do you think Uranus rotates sideways and rolls around the Sun! It must have something to do with its name LOL


Thank you you too, don't forget to wear shoes! They're very important for protecting your feet


I suspect the information about the richest presidents is out of date now. I don't think any of the three listed would have qualified as billionaires in today's terms.


I dont know how they adjust the value of the land that washington and jefferson owned. was it rich for their time?


I don't know how much it would add up to today. But then, nobody really knows what Trump's actual net worth is -- he might actually be so much in hock he's in the red and his creditors are just giving him an allowance and running his businesses as silent partners, LOL.


Yeah, i figure that Trump is pretty rich, but i dont think that he is as rich as people may believe. the richer the president is, the more he or she is out of touch with people like me.


Damn straight. I don't think there's been a president in my lifetime who wasn't either a millionaire before he was elected or became one after he left office, and I was born a week before Kennedy was shot.


I figure now it is simply to hard to run for higher office without the cash. the supporters call in favors, which usually dont align with my needs.


I think maybe Truman was the most recent one to go back to a middle class lifestyle after office.


Yeah, and Eisenhower had a military background. they were probably rooted more in the traditional american life.


Also horrible how much power the office has accumulated. I did some research on the history of the term "president" and at the time it was adopted for the US chief executive it had a history of referring to very weak executives, which seems to imply it was intended to be a weak office.


I think that the checks and balances are meant to keep the executive limited, but, in my opinion, Bush and Cheney tested those limits. Have you seen "Vice?"  interesting film.


It is about VP Dick Cheney. Christian Bale plays Cheney. studied the guy carefully. it is a film but still an interesting take.


Ah, that sounds like a good one. It's a comedy, but have you seen Dick?


No, who is in that? is that about nixon?


Yeah. It was about two high school girls who managed to get hired to walk Nixon's dog and wound up getting involved in the middle of the Watergate scandal. Some of the characterizations were amazing.


That sounds great! i will check it out. I think that the presidency is a fun subject for films. I dont think that i would ever want to be president though.


Same. You can't really get the main stuff done that you want unless it's one of those once-in-a-century elections where you get a filibuster-proof Congressional majority, and what you do accomplish either provokes a backlash or gets reversed after you leave.


Yeah, I don't know if we will get a representative government in my lifetime. court cases have changed the definition of free speech to include money. I don't have enough money for make my voice loud enough.


I really am hopeful that such a huge majority of Millennials and Gen Z are not only Democrats but support left-leaning politicians like AOC and Sanders. Hopefully when we reach the tipping point things will change fast.


The younger generations are struggling under debt. i think that things will have to change or they will always be behind the curve. Anyway, great chat!


I do but I am not coordinated so no one likes to dance with me.


Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music.


Do you remember that Ally McBeal baby that danced. It took the nation by storm. I am not sure why I thought of that. I am not pleased with myself right now.


No, I don't remember that. Did you know that Tupac danced ballet in high school?


So I just embarrassed myself for no reason? HAHAHA... I had no idea he danced in high school. I wonder why and if it helped.


Hilarious, well he was also really big into poetry if I remember correctly and he started his career as a back up dancer.


Like J-LO? Wasn't Bruce lee also a dancer?


I think he was. Technically, that style of movie is considered a dance.


I read that ballet dancers can go through 4 pair of shoes in a week. They just don't make em like they used too...


Yeah, that's a lot, but I suppose they dance a lot. How many hours does it take to do that?


A lot more than I am willing to put in, which is exactly 0, unless there is an open bar at a wedding, then I will dance! Ii want to use the machine michael jackson uses to do that extreme lean.


I love TV. Maybe too much. What about you? Do you like tv?


I do, I think it is great. Did you know there are 750 episodes of Pokemon?


I think my son has watched almost all of them. And I have also picked up that many of his pokemon cards...


I haven't seen any of the Pokemon, but I did play Pokemon Go for a bit.


My son so wants to play that game. I would rather have him watch thomas the tank.


yeah, I heard that has Ringo Starr in it, is that true?


Yes, that is true. And George carlin and alex baldwin both voiced Thomas too.


Interesting, I like both those actors. Well nice chatting with you.


Great. Hope you're well! So are you a fan of dancing? Bruce Lee happened to be an outstanding dancer and even won the Cha-Cha championship in Hong Kong back in 1958.


Ha! Well you can be as bad as babies, right? Ha! They even spontaneously dance when they hear music and even smile when the beat is hit!


That's hilarious. Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of point shoes in a week.


That's crazy isn't it? And has to cost a lot of money! Speaking of ballett, Tupac himself actually did ballet in high school. He also portrayed the Mouse King in a nutcracker production. Can you believe that?


Oh wow that's crazy. Do you think Tupac is still alive?


I honestly don't know. But did you also know Michael Jackson has a patent on the device he used for the extreme lean in many dances?


I didn't know that about Michael Jackson. Do you follow the elections?


I do although I can't believe voter turnout in the presidential elections hasn't surpassed 62.8% in the last 100 years. That is insane!


That is insane! Nevada is the only state to have a "none of the candidates" voting option for elections.


Really? Too bad all states don't offer that. Ha! I tell you something else that's crazy, since 1900, on 75% of the occasion, the taller candidate has won! That's weird, isn't it?


That's pretty crazy. I heard that taller people do better with job hiring too.


Really? That's very interesting! Speaking of elections, you know back in ancient Athens, officials were actually appointed by lottery as they thought elections would lead to an oligarchy.


I do and South Park is one of my favorite shows. In fact, the Simpson's crew sent the South Park producers flowers after they aired the Family Guy episode. That was awesome of them!


That's awesome they did that! There is only one episode of the Simpsons where Bart never appears.


I'd like to see that episode as I bet it's weird never seeing Bart. Were you a fan of 70s Show? I wanted to see the UK remake but sadly, it was cancelled 10 episodes in.


I'm surprised it only made it 10 episodes.


Same here, especially when shows like Pokemon has over 750 episodes which is basically 50 per year for 16 consecutive years!


Yes I know that Wilson was the only one to have a PhD


Nice. Do you know who the three wealthiest are in the US?


I had no idea they ranked them, who is it?


Nice. In Guatemala the relatives of the president cannot run for that position later


Wow I guess that is how you combat nepotism and such


Yeah I guess. Do you know who was the first one to have the picture taken during inauguratin?


Hmm good point, I have no idea, who was it?


It was Linloln and Jon Wilkes booth was in the photo too


Wow. Do you know much about the US Senate?


I know some stuff. Do you know why Truman was elected VP under Roosevelt?


It was because he found so much corruption within senate and saved the government 15 billion dollars


WOw that is a lot of money. Did you know they have a candy desk there?


A candy desk, what kind of candy do they have?


They have Mars, Jellybeans and Milky Way , all candy made in Pennsylvania


Nice. Did you know Senator Thurmond spoke on the senate floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes without stopping?


WOw that is a long talk. It was nice chatting with you


Yeah it sure was, it went down on history. You too, take care


Oh yeah, I have been on the bad date and have probably been the bad date, a couple times. Lol. Meetups are really hard to master.


It is really hard at first because everyone can be shy at times especially meeting someone for the first time


Right, exactly. Its a good technique to ask a reciprocal question, tell a story or launch a conversation down a rabbit hole. This is a way to get it going.


That's a good tip! And if things aren't going as planned it's always ok to politely exit


Yes, people tend to forget they are free to leave. I like that wisdom and tactic. You can also play a game in your mind, challenging yourself to be entertained by the whole meeting/date.


You can also try using date spots that you already enjoy


Yes, that is genius! Just enjoy yourself and try to share something together. Maybe somewhere outdoors.


Would you ever ask to join someone else's board game on a date?


Yes, I probably would before people were so suspicious of each other, now days. I connect with animals more than people sometimes. I recently learned that almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin c while humans can not. This might explain why? lol


Maybe. I feel we are different than animals though since we lost our body hair 240,000 years ago


HMMM, good point! I agree with that one! I know that there is a frequency that can cause fear in humans and maybe that is the sound  hear on bad dates? lol


Maybe! That is something even our larger brains cannot avoid


Yeah, big brains! I wouldn't mind taking a date bowling sometimes. A funny fact is that bowlers made twice as much as football team stars in the 19630's. Not so much now, thats for sure!


Yeah viewing a sporting event would distract you from a bad date. As long as your team is winning!


Yes, winning is always more fun! I am a huge football fan and love watching college football too. The highest scoring game of all time was 222-0. That had to feel like forever!


Yeah surprised they didn't call mercy. you think Cumberland had a pink locker room that game?


Oh yeah, pink was really a low blow. I think it must be a way to get into their head before game time.


Benjarvis Green Ellis is my favorite player because he never fumbled


Yeah, mine too! He played for the Patriots. That is amazing. He was a running back like no others!!


It was nice talking to you! have a great day!


Hey I'm good, what do you think about humans? I know that I'm a human haha


I'm too.  Haha.  Apparently we are adapted for persistence hunting.


Yes that is interesting. Although I don't know if I got that adaptation haha. It's weird to that humans can't burp in zero gravity, I wonder if other animals can


I never heard that (human can't burp in zero gravity).  Apparently, there is a sound frequency that causes fear in humans.


That's interesting. I wonder if it's like the sound call the brown noise? Have you ever heard of that haha. Also humans are the only mammals that can't breathe and swallow at the same time, so maybe that is what is affecting our burping in zero-g


That was funny.  I was surprised to read that humans will regrow a rib within only 2-3 months after having it surgically shortened.  Have you heard that?


No I haven't. I wonder if other animals can do that? Like can we Harvest ribs from animals and have them regrow the ribs?


I don't know.  It's an interesting idea.  Apparently, human may have lost body hair as recently as 240,000 years ago.  A strange fact.


That is strange! Also, anatomically correct humans existed in Africa about 300,000 years ago, which means that anatomically correct humans had hair all over them apparently


That was also interesting.  By the way, do you like football?


Yes I think football is pretty good. I watched the Superbowl and it was good this year, what about you? What do you think


I watch football. I prefer college football to professional one though.  Apparently, the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting teams is painted pink.  I wonder why.


Yes I wonder that too, if it was to psych out the other team, it would actually make me play better I would think haha. it's crazy too, there is a high school that just build a football stadium in Texas, cost 60 million dollars


You were probably right, U of Iowa wants to psych visiting teams out.  $60 million dollars?  Are you serious?


Yep I'm serious. And it only houses 18,000 people, which seems like not a lot of people. And it's for a high-school, I don't know why they would need a football stadium of that magnitude, do you?


Do you know the name of the high school.  I live in Dallas suburb.  Americans love football.


No I don't know the name unfortunate but I do know that they are probably going to put one of those huge American flags in that Stadium. Have you heard how much those cost?


No I don't.  I'm sure it is a lot.  By the way, the highest score in a football game happened in 1916.  Georgia tech defeated Cumberland (scores 222-0).  Talking about the flag, do you know how much?


Yes so hear this, it would cost like $50,000 per flag, and each bag weighs 1100 pounds, like how is that possible? That costs as much as a car LOL


It sounds like a lot of money for a flag.  Anyway, I've got to run.  It was enjoyable chatting with you.  Take care.


Ok you have a good night, and yet it so much money. I also wonder how much Snoop jog would charge a regular High School to write their fight song LOL he did his sons for free, but I bet anyone else it would cost a lot


ISome stuff. Do you know who the three wealthiest in the US are?


Yes they are Jefferson, Washington and JFK


Yes. Do you know what the first president of Zimbabwe was called?


Yes. Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?


I guess they get a lot of people there and need the room


I guess so. Do you know how the VP used to be elected?


Yes that was just the runner up that moves up


Yes. Did you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?


Yes and he has already released 3 albums


Yeah.Did you know republican presidents usually have a beard?


Nice. The president has either been a republican or a democrat since 1853


Yes. Do you know when both parties started using the red and blue colors?


Yes that was actually pretty recent the 2000s


Yeah. Did you know Truman did not want to be photographed on the dumbo ride?


Yes he did not want to be associated with the republicans in any way


Yeah. Did you know that Fox news threatened to sue the SImpsons?


Yes because they parodied their anti-democratic campaign


Yes but it is ironic because they are the ones that put it in the air


I know right? Do you know what percentage of tea party identify as democrats?


How's it going? Did you hear about Melania Trump's visit to Africa? She got to feed baby elephants in Kenya


Yea, also there is a highway in Kenya named after George W Bush, that's crazy


Really, interesting.Oh, I see, the garb was, safari casual! lol


Yea and Melania Trump got to visit an elephant orphanage near Nairobi, Kenya with Margaret Kenyatta


Yes, I love elephants. The animals to see there would be interesting.


Yea, I wonder if the visited zimbabwe, their first president was known as president banana


Our president's guest house is bigger than the White House.


I wonder if the president of indonesia has ever stayed at the guest house, he could play one of the 3 pop albums he released


ha, ha, ha, yes, omg! Wonder what they sound like. Bet there is a lot of drums.


Probably. I wonder if Teddy Roosevelt allowed christmas trees in the guest house since he banned them in the white house


I know, That's really being a staunch conservationist.


I bet Teddy was glad that George W Bush put solar panels back on the white house during his presidency


Yes, he would be. I can't believe in 2011 it took four days to know bullets hit the white house.


I can, especially if the white house still uses floppy disks


True, John Adams was the first president to take residence in the 1800's.


That's pretty cool, when you zoom into the white house on google maps you can see Obama


I guess so, I wonder if you could see the secret service next to them; they're called the Obama Renegade


Yeah, I don't know. FDR vetoed alot of bills compared to Obama! Good chat!!


Hello there, do you know much about presidents?


Hello there. I know some stuff like the president of Zimbabwe was called Banana?


Yeah I wonder if that means anything else in their language though


Good points. Do you know who the three wealthiest us presidents are?


Yes it is Jefferson, Washington and JFK right?


Yes that was them. Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?


Yeah that is pretty cool actually. DId you know the President of Indonesia is a pop star?


Yeah I heard he has already released three albums so he must be good I guess


I guess so. Do you know how the VP used to be elected in the good old days?


Yeah it was the runner up which I think is pretty fair to be honest


Exactly, they put a lot of work into as well when they are running.


Very true. Did you know the white house has twin buildings in Ireland and France?


Neat. Roosevelt was such a conservationist that he banned Christmas trees from there


Sad Christmas I guess for them. They still use floppy discs there.


Hmm I wonder if it is because they can kid of be safer to store files


Yeah maybe that is the case. George Bush was the guy that brought the solar panels back to the white house


Good for him. Did you like Obama as a president?


Yeah he was cool and if you zoom into google maps on the white house you can see him there


Haha that is neat. He vetoed only 2 bills while in office and Roosevelt vetoed 635


Wow that is a big difference. Do you know his secret code name?


Obama for sure, I never voted for him though! It was after when i started admiring who he was as a president


He is a man with great values, do you like our current president?


To be honest, not really. I am kind of glad he isn't one of the three richest ever or he would be rubbing that in too. How about you?


Yeah me too, he is really controvercial and I dont agree with how his handling the country, hopefuly he wont get re elected


For sure, if he does we know it was rigged. We need a Biden Obama combo again!


I agree hopefully that can happen soon, or a pop star president like the presidnet of Indonesia


Right lol. I would like trump more if he released a pop album in the USA


I know right, that would be fun and maybe he is a talented musician, a hidden gem


for sure lol Do you know what they call the president of zimbabwe?


No, how did they call the president of Zimbawe?


The call him president banana for some reason.


I wonder why he's named after the fruit! Maybe it means something different in his country.


Did you know the white house guest house is bigger than the actual white house?


no I didnt know that, must be really big,  a lot of guest coming in


I agree, I went and saw the white house once but never saw a guest house there. Apparently there are two identical white houses in ireland and france


I wonder if they vary in size and other aspects, if they are twin buildings Im guessing they look almost the same


I will have to look them up on google to see, that is interesting for sure. It was so nice chatting with you!


Those are some interesting facts indeed, the last one, the white house has solar panes thanks to Bush


That is more efficient and cost effective. Have a great day. Go Obama and Biden 2020!


Hi! Are you familiar with the scandal surrounding Kim Kardashian and the White House?


No! I'm learning about it now. it's pretty crayz. It makes sense since trump got his start on reality tv. I didn't know Sylvester Stallone also did something similar!


Oh yeah but I don't think it was quite as publicized as the Kardashian visit. Nice to see that they used their platform for good causes.


I agree. That's one of the benefits of technology. Kim heard about this through twitter which is a great platform for people to get awareness of their issues.


Yeah, though the president also use Twitter, I'm not too certain what his agenda his for using that platform is.


Yeah, i thik people weren't nice about it because as silly as it is, this president likes celebrities. They can do such good adn get results. Kim Kardashian is also a very accomplished person, she's the highest paid reality tv personality a few years ago earning $53 million!!!


That is a lot of money, probably from her various roles from being a tv personality, to entrepreneur, and socialite. What is even a socialite, do you know?


Someone who just goes out and spends money adn is famous for being wealthy and their social life. Kim gets paid just to post a selfie on instagram and twitter advertising products! imagine that.


Wow, to make millions of dollars off of posting selfies, that seems like a lucrative job! It's crazy to think how she got started in the entertainment industry in the first place, she must have a great PR team for turning that around!


Yeah, her mom is her manager haha. I mean she even has a book that has sold well about selfies. WHo knew that you could make so much money doing that.


Oh what?! Yeah that's crazy. She used to be Paris Hilton's personal assistant and stylist, but I don't think Paris Hilton is in the spotlight anymore.


Yeah, she sort of disappeared. IT's interesting that even though she is so succesful, she has the lowest q score which tells how likable a celebrity is


I had no idea there was such a thing that scored celebrities. What does the Q stand for? Do you know?


no idea, maybe quality? i wonder what trump's q score was before he became president of the US.


Haha, I would love to know that, if only they graphed it, I'm sure it might be as volatile as stock markets these days. Considering the white house still uses floppy disks, I think they need to get with the times!


Wow! Did you know that there is a replica of the white house in atlanta thats a private home?


There's a replica? I didn't know, I would imagine the replica would be elsewhere. Wonder if they have unwanted visitors for doing that?


Probably! I wonder if it  has solar panels. I didn't know the white house had panels and then reagan removed them;


Why did Regan remove them? They seem to do more good than harm.


Who knows! Jimmy carter also turned all the thermostats to 65 in the winter of 1977. i would be so upset and freeze!!


That is very cold, perhaps he grew up in the cold climates and is used to the cold. I would be freezing and pull out all my winter gear in those temperatures.


I've got to admit that I was one of the people ridiculing Kim K for visiting the white house, but after hearing more about what she accomplished, I have more respect for her. How do you feel?


I agree that here accomplishments merit some degree of respect. I wonder why people would choose to ridicule her


I would think that people ridicule her because of the way she presents herself to the world, escpecially considering that part of her fame came from being in a sex tape. Do you respect her?


I think we shouldn't make a sex tape define her. Accept her accomplishments and her failures separately.


That's idealistic. I don't disagree, but it's just not the way this world works.


I understand and I too think it is realistic, but it seems that sometimes people tend to discount everything a person has done due to the most recent scandal. Sure what they did was wrong, but that isn't everything


That's definitely true. Look at the Governor of Virginia. People are calling for him to resign over the photo of him in black face. The photo was taken like 20+ years ago! He's a different person now. It's something Kim is going to deal with the rest of her life.


Didn't something very similar happen to the director of Guardians of the Galaxy?


I don't know about that one, but I know Hollywood definitely seeing a lot of problems. Do you know what the director is accused of?


He made a insensitive post several decades ago and he got in trouble for it


Well, our president has been accused of some bad behavior as well. I think in this day and age people are very sensitive about racism and sexism. If something like that is in your past, it will surface.


I think people are desensitized to our president. If a person with a clean image says something once it ruins them. If a questionable person in regards to morality says it dozens of times, people tend to tune it out


That's true, the media has beaten that horse to death. It's kind of sad really.


Well also most major media is bias for one party or the other


Yes, you're absolutely correct. it's tough to watch the news. Fox is so far to the right, and basically everything else is on the left.


It is kind of weird personally how presidents can still be elected despite losing the popular vote


Well I think we both have a decent knowledge of presidents. However, I don't really know all that much about the white house. Do you?


I don't know much about it either. Wasn't it burned down once? Maybe in the civil war? or perhaps the war of 1812?


Did you know there is a perfect replica in atlanta? Must make the owner feel like a president


I did not know that. That's pretty cool. I was surprised to see they still use floppy disks. That's embarrassing.


I know that they use floppy disks for our nuclear silos. I think that there is a pro and con. It is such ancient technology, but at the same time because it is so obsolete, the system can't be hacked with modern technology


Yes, interesting, our horribly old tech is actually protecting us. Who would have figured. I just hope it's reliable. Are companies still manufacturing floppy disks?


That I'm not sure. In any case, I enjoyed our chat. I hope you have a great day.


Did you hear about the first crash of an F-35 aircraft?


Yes I did. It was the first crash of an F-35 aircraft in about 17 years. I wonder what the cause of the crash was, they won't say


luckly no civilian injuries were reported, the aircraft cost a lot of money!! $100 million dollars


Wow that's a lot of money, what do you think about fish by the way? I know that I had some fish for dinner and they were delicious LOL


Not much lol just that there is an immortal breed of jellyfish swimming somewhere around the sea


That sounds awesome! They should do some research so that I can become immortal to haha. I also like that the world's oldest goldfish is 43, I wonder how long a goldfish can live


No idea, 43 is a long time for a goldfish, you know that the seahorse is the only fish with a neck!


I didn't know that! You'd think there would be other fish, especially fish of that shape. I really want a koi though, have you heard that they can live for over 200 years?


I didnt, that is really interesting, do you know the black swallower fish? interesting species


Not really, I just think they can swallow a lot maybe because they're called the black swallower LOL, what are they useful for? I do know about a fish called the barreleye fish, it has a transparent head so you can see it's brain LOL


They eat prey twice their size and ten times its weight so yeah lol, and no, that seems like an interesting creature


Yep I agree. Also there is a type of fish that lives on land all of its adult life, I wonder what it is. I wonder why it doesn't dry out LOL


I have no idea, we have a lot to learn from fish, you know there is a zebrafish that has the counterparts for almost every disease us humans have


Wow I didn't know that! They should do some more research on that fish LOL. Have you heard that jellyfish are 98% water? They can actually evaporate in the Sun and die


Thats amazing, that is such a cool and interesting fact, I didnt know that but they do seem jelly and full with water, do you follow politics much?


I follow it from time to time. One thing I do know is that the last president to have a PhD was Woodrow Wilson. I think that we should change that and we should have more presidents with phds, what about you?


I agree we should require our presidents to have at least a masters degree, up until 1805 the runner up of an election would become the vice president


Yeah that's really weird. Can you imagine President Trump and Vice President Clinton? Talk about a recipe for disaster, I'm glad that rule is gone


I am glad as well it would be a terrible recipe destined to fail and probably with one of them dead lol, did you hear about the name of the president of Zimbawe?


No I didn't, what is his name? I do know that in Guatemala that any close relatives of a former president cannot run for office, I think that's a good idea personally


His name is Canaan Banana, that is a really funny name, he was the first president of Zimbawe


Wow that's quite a name haha. Also said that we have not had a president that speaks the language of Zimbabwe, or a president that is fluent in any language for that matter since FDR, which was back in the 40s


the black swallower fish can eat prey twice its own length. how is that even possible?


Can't snakes do that too? Did you read about the fighter jet that crashed? Luckily the pilot ejected to safety but still, that's scary!


can you imagine ejecting from a seat and flying throught the air? luckily he landed safely


Yeah. If im that pilot, I have to wonder if crashing a $100M plane is worth me ejecting over. I would feel like I couldn't eject if it meant crashing. Sounds weird but I would think twice, in case I got in trouble over it. It sound slike the plane has had issues before though.


ya i wouldnt take a $100 million plane lightly, but what can they do to him its not like he has to pay them back lol. it does seem like the F-35 has had some problems but it was the first crash in 17 years so that says something


HA! Good point! Try to get $100M from a gov employee, especially sine it's shut down and no one is getting paid! Imagine going through oxygen deprivation while you're flying the aircraft.


I would think you would pass out with oxygen deprivation. maybe thats part of the problem!


Great point! I think I might inquiry about the navy if that happened to me. And this isn't the first time a pilot has been forced to eject from an F-35.


its a class A mishap which can be the total destruction of the plane... $100 million in a pile of twisted metal. it seems such a waste


At least he wasn't the airline exec who was shot in the streets of of Memphis... Man, that's sad. Seemed like a good dude.


i wonder what the potential "personal vendetta" could be?


Right? I cannot imagine having a strong enough vendetta to harm someone maybe put a dead fish in their car.


I don't  know. Do you not have an ex spouse with an easily annoyed husband or wife? Lol


HAHAHA... no but I think you have some stories that might be better told face-to-face, without a paper trail...


yes ha. ok so the seahorse is the only fish to have a neck? hmmm


i never think of them as fish. there is a breed of jellyfish that is immortal. I wonder why scientists aren't tearing that species apart trying to find a way to make humans immortal???ha


Sorry, premature send. Right! I would spend all my time studying that fish so that I could monetize the results and sell it!


immortal. no thanks but i agree plenty of people would pay billions for that. 84% of genes associated with human disease have counterparts in zebrafish. again why is this not being studied to cure human diseases? yet we have $100 million air planes. SMH


You would'nt want to be immortal? Ok, maybe not immortal... as I write that, it seems too long but add 100 years on to my pension and I'd be good!


I'd get bored I think. And if only I was immortal I'd have to watch too many people die and that would be sad.


Hello! Did you know you can pick up radio storms from Jupiter on an AM radio? Crazy.


Hi! I didn't know that! That is amazing! i wonder what the Jupiter storms sound like.


Probably like Rush Limbaugh. Haha. In Canada, at least 40% of music played on the radio has to be Canadian. Lots of Justin Bieber, I'm guessing.


Did you know that there is a website that plays old radio dramas?  I imagine some of them are pretty good from back in the day!


That's really cook. In World War II soldiers made makeshift radios using razorblades and pencils. They called them Foxhole Radios.


People back then were so creative and inspiring!  I mean, I can't imagine being in a foxhole and coming up with a way to make a radio!


The human spirit endures, that's for sure. Speaking of radio dramas, there's a website where you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free. I'll have to look up the URL later. Sounds interesting.


You know I've heard that a radio station in Finland broadcasts a news program in latin.  That must be very educational!


Also educational -- facts about politics! There hasn't been a president who wasn't Democrat or Republican since 1853. Maybe time to move past the two-party system?


I agree with that.  The major two parties have changed their platforms over the years and really become each other in a way.  The republicans used to be liberal and mostly in the north and the democrats in the south and now look.


Yeah, the shift is crazy. Harry Truman wouldn't have his picture taken at Disneyland on a Dumbo ride because he didn't want to be associated with the GOP. I'm assuming because of the elephant imagery -- and not his name. Ha.


They really do take their party alliances very seriously don't they?  I mean, all presidents with beards have been republican. I guess democrats refuse to not shave because of this.


Haha. I didn't realize that red and blue used consistently to identify the GOP and Dems only started in 2000.


I didn't know that either. Seems like those colors have always been that way.  Did you know that there have been more republican presidents than any other party?


That's interesting. Another eye-opening fact -- 86% of Nevada's land is owned by the government.


Really?  I wonder why that is.  I also would like to know what all land they own.


I'm betting they do a lot of military testing there. In France, a man impersonating a government official managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice. Wonder how much he got for it?


I'd like to know too. He must have been a very good con artist. I mean, who would believe the Eiffel Tower was for sale to begin with?


I bet he didn't get close to $1Billion, which is what the Norwegian donated in 2008 to save the Amazon rainforest.


That is very impressive of them to do that!  All governments should do something to save the rainforest!  They should focus on saving them planet instead of themselves.  Wikileaks has actually published a plan of the government's to destroy wikileaks.


hello - how do you feel about the issue of gun control


It seems like you cannot get away from this issue these days - or poitics in general.


No, this is one of the main issues debated between democrats and republicans.


That is true - every US president since 1853 has been either a Republican or Democrat.


Yea, it's interesting that the Whig party formed into the Republican party.


Yeah - it is interesting to look back at how both parties have developed into what they are today.


It's interesting how important gun control has become, but that's because we have guns like the AR-15


Also because of all the recent shootings - it really brings the issue of gun control into the spotlight.


That's very true. I also find it interesting that democrats just view guns as the problem and not the person committing the crime with the gun.


I don't think all Democrats feel this way - many feel that law must exist to help control the terrible things that human beings are capable of.


I completely agree with that and same is probably true for republicans. Republicans probably don't all think that the shooter is entirely responsible.


That is true - you always have your extremists on both sides, but there are many people from both parties that see the issue from different angles.


That is also a fair point. What has been made clear through events like the holocaust and gulag that humans have the capacity for evil.


Yes all humans have that capacity - even those in power in government.


That is very true the government has the ability to overreach and shouldn't have too much power.


Yes this is a good example of why we need to have different political parties with different viewpoints and checks and balances in place.


It's surprising though that throughout history the Republican party has held the majority.


Yes, however, they have lost the popular vote in six out of the last seven Presidential elections.


That is very true. It's very surprising to me that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president.


Yes it is surprising to me as well. It was nice talking to you.


Yes, it's been a pleasure to discuss our country's history and our political parties' view points.


You much of a football fan?  I don't watch it much myself, but I find a lot of facts about it pretty neat...


Im in the same boat.  No cable for me so many games go unwatched.


Did you know that there could actually be female players?  There's technically no rule in the NFL against it, so long as they meet the physical requirements.


Those requirements might be pretty physically rigorous.  Plus have you heard how they treat the cheerleaders?


No, how do they treat them?  With respect, I'd hope.  Cheerleading is actually pretty tough, there's more injuries in it than any other sport.


They are not allowed to eat at a restaurant if a football player is there and if one walks in they must leave.


Wait, I think I heard about that... wasn't that just for New Orleans cheerleaders though?  Hopefully that's not true throughout the NFL...


I dont know if it is or not.  But I really think that is the wrong way to treat people.


Yeah, I have to agree.  You know what else is kind of crazy? For the length of the game, there's only about an average of 11 minutes of live gameplay.


And it takes SOOOO long for that 11 minutes to happen too.


Yeah, all the "set up" time outs, coaches talking, the huddles... it all adds up.


It really does, do you know how the circular huddle was created?


A deaf quarterback created it to prevent the other team from stealing his hand signals.


Oh, yeah, I think I remember reading about that somewhere.  That's pretty neat!  Do you know they keep tracking chips in the players shoulder pads during the game to record their movements?


I heard about that.  I think they also use it for safety things like to see when a player is taking really hard hits to the head.


Not only that, but they've also got one in the ball, keeping track of it's position, speed, and all that.  Bet that's handy for determining how far it gets thrown and stuff.


Yeah and how fast it is going.   That is all useful in helping to practice and setting pitching machines to not wear out the QB's arm


It's a pity they don't have a function to tell how much the ball is inflated, otherwise they could have avoided that "deflate gate" scandal that happened a few years back... (dunno fi you remember that or not.)


I do.  Tom Brady and the Patriots were under fire for that.


Tom Brady!  Sidenote, guy was born the same year I was, 1977.  You know that guy has supposedly never eaten a strawberry in his life?  Wonder if he's allergic or something...


I heard that too, he must be allergic, I dont eat them all the time, but I have eaten some,  That might be the key to his superpowers.  lol


Superpowers yeah, they say he threw a record 50 touchdown passes in the 2007 season!  He's gotta be doing something!


Definitely!  Great Chat, but I must get going.  Have a good day!


Are you a football fan, I just moved to the Boston area four years ago so I got kind of sucked into that. Funny, the author of the Game of Thrones compares the Patriots to the Lannisters.


Lol, I am a Vikings fan. Patriots are a great team but I can see the resemblance lol!


I agree, my wife loves that show. Me, I'm average on it. I actually lived for 49 years in KC and had season tickets at Arrowhead so the Chiefs are my team. Ironic that Bill Bellichick won a playoff game as the Cleveland Browns head coach in 1995, and the Browns haven't won a playoff game since.


Wow, he is just a playoff winning coach. I think he is the most winningest coach in playoff history


I think you're correct, he is worshiped around here. I was a Fran Trakington (sp?) fan, but that will date me. You see where Gisele Bundchen doubles her husbands salary with her modeling earning, no ramen noodles in the Brady household.


lol that may date you, but you have all this experience and knowledge! I wouldn't work if my wife made that much lol


I agree, You see where Brady has that crazy diet that supposedly keeps him young and in shape, he's never eaten a strawberry in his life. Given his performance past 40 there might be something in that.


I wonder if he is allergic or something because strawberries are awesome! I heard he was a vegan


Yes, well he's doing something right, though ironically Belichick puts him on the injury report every week. Why do you think he does that?


I think that is so interesting, I never knew that. I bet it is to psych teams out to have to work on playing against Brady and the backup potentially, what do you think?


I agree, or so they'll never know if he's really injured. Did you read where the average NFL game only actually has 11 minutes of live gameplay.  Given the violence and strenuousness of the game that may be a good thing for players bodies and better for commercials during the breaks.


For sure, I would have guessed a lot higher since games last like 3 hours, but for the safety of the players that is a good enough number


Did you know that the average Engineer makes more in his life time than the average NFL or MLB player, I guess all those whose career is shortened by injuries bring down the average from the big money players. I hope they have a good pension.


yea only a select few get that big paycheck. I bet these are the same engineers that make tracking chips that are in shoulder pads that track things


Yes, I read that. I can see why they track the bowl, but why do you think they track the players' equipment? Also, there's no rule against women playing in the league, I've seem some great women soccer players, you think there will ever be a female kicker?


I think there is a female kicker in the making. I just read an article the other day and it may happen sooner than later, that would be great i feel!


On the flip side of that, did you see where the New Orleans Saints don't allow their cheerleaders to dine at the same restaurant as the players? If they eating when a player enters they have to leave the restaurant immediately? That seem sexist and has the making of a law suit to me.


That is such sexism, I wonder what the other teams think of that or even if they know it is happening. Someone should speak up!


In this day and age I'm surprised someone hasn't or a crafty lawyer addressed that. My inlaws are from upstate New York, you see the Bills are equal to the Patriots in Super Bowl losses (kind of Ying and Yang in my wife's family), they suffer up there. I know a bunch of my wife's cousins who love Jim Kelly from the 4 Super Bowl loss run.


That was sad, they got 2nd place like so many years in a row I think. Kind of embarrassing, but also pretty cool they made it that far all the time. It was so nice chatting with you, go Brady!


Then again, my Chiefs last won when  Richard Nixon was President so we know disappointment too, but Patrick Mahomes has breathed hope back in the franchise. We actually went to our first game at Gillette out in Foxborough this year when the Chiefs-Patriots played and that was an amazing game in a loss.


yikes that is a long time. I think your chiefs will win it in the next 3 years. I am calling it! Have a great weekend!


Yes, I am a huge Eagles fan.  Was happy when the Saints lost yesterday.


HA! That's funny. I At least it wasn't the cowboys or Giants... That would've caused some pain for you....


yes. I am from Chicago so I am a bears fan.


Right! I was shocked to even make the playoffs. Since we lost this years and next years draft pick for Mack, I wanted them to win all the games they could, because I don't care for the Raiders... They don't need a higher draft pick.


Im indifferent to him. Most people hate him but I really admire him. He's been doing this for a long time at a high level. YOu gotta admire his greatness. You?


I was so glad that we beat him in the super bowl


I would have loved to be an eagles fan that weekend. I would have been so happy and a lot drunk...


LOL we all were.  Who are you rooting for in the super bowl?


I think the Pats. But to be honest, I just want a fun game. You?


I can see that. Do you like them or the best of two bad options...


The best of 2 bad options, I don't think anyone is really into this superbowl


Did you see the Patriots game against the Bills today?


Yeah, but not much because I thought they would win eventually


I love the Patriots and watch them every chance I get. bellichick is the best coach


Brady is the best quarterback in my opinon


I agree!  The game against the Dolphins upset me but they bounced back quick


I would rather be on Bill Blichick's side than Tom Brady for the team's future


They clinched a playoff spot today and the Dolphins will be watching from home


As always.  Hahaha  Did you know that the first playoff game played in 1932


Wasn't that during the AFL days and the Packers?


Amazing that the league is almost 90 years old;


Time is flying by.  Did you know that Matt Patricia is the only rocket scientist coaching in the nfl


I was shocked too.  Also, they used chip to track players in the past?


I don't think he's that good of a head coach either; nowhere near the caliber of Bellichick


Every one is inferior when compared to the best coach in the history.  By the way, nice chatting with you


I do! Of the 32 teams, the dolphins are my favorite. We haven't been good in years.


did you know women can also play if they make the cut?


I do! I would like to see the chips from their shoulder pads that records their movement. I bet results would be different in women.


I am sure they are different even from player to player. do you know how long a game lasts in terms of playtime?


Not very long. About 11 minutes. Crazy to get paid as much as they do for such little play. However, engineers make more money.


I know right and we are glued to the tv for so long when you think about it.


The cheerleaders for the Saints can't eat in the same restaurants as the players. They keep them separated.


I wonder why that is and the even have to leave in the middle of their meal if the players walk in


As a dolphins fan, I don't care for the patriots. They play in the Gillette stadium in foxborough.


the author of the game of thrones called the patrionts the lannister of the nfl


That's funny! I wonder how Bill belichick would feel about it with his status of winningest coach of all time.


yeah go figure. he even won once when he was coaching the cleveland browns


The Bills have the same number of superbowl losses as the patriots. The patriots have no trouble getting to the superbowl, but they don't always win.


true. did you know the patriots let the giants score a touchdown during the superbowl 46?


Why did they do that? It seems like a bad idea.


apparently increased their odds of winning but the giants avoided scoring


You can't deny that Tom Brady is talented. He has been named MVP in four superbowls.


that is very true. he is so popular and yet his wife makes way more modelling


She gets involved in football too much. Maybe if they ate more strawberries they would be better off. He has never had one!


That is really strange. I wonder if he is allergic. it was nice chatting with you


Yeah I love football. Im a steelers fan how bout you.


My favorite team the Patriots, you know there is no written rule about females playing, I wonder if we will ever see one in the NFL


He is lol, great QB though, he doesnt like to eat strawberries so thats weird


That is a little bit weird. I bet ne never tried them with sugar.


Or with chocolate, he has a 50 touchdown record so thats admirable


Did you know bill belichick is the winningest coach in the postseason.


I didnt, but it makes sense, he has changed The Patriots, him and Brady


Did you know giselle makes double what tom does.


I didnt know that, she must be loaded, well both of them, their kids, grand kids and future generations are set for life


Brady is on the injury report every week. Wonder why.


Maybe is a strategy Belichick uses to confuse the other teams, that is an interesting strategy though


They do, they have won or lost by 3 or 4 points in the last 6 tries taking out the one of this year, close scores


Did you know Brady threw 50 TDs in one season.


Yeah he has a 50 record it happened on 2007, impressive record


I know right, so the Pats are the team with more SuperBowl victories but also the team with most losses


Well they are tied for most wins with the Steelers.


Oh so they are tied, well they are tied with the Buffalo Bills in loses as well.


I love TV. It seems like the TV began with computer monitors back in the late 90s.


it does. I have always been a Simpsons fan.


Me too. Have you ever seen that one Simpsons episode where Bart neither appeared Nor is mentioned?


No, I havent seen that one, or at least I dont remember it.


Yeah same. How about that 70's show? I liked it but i have never seen the British version.


The British version didnt last long, only 10 episodes.  Guess it didnt translate too well.


Yeah must have been pretty bad! Interesting how that works. Like The American Offic was way better than the UK version but the UK version came first!


Yeah, I dont think the American version tried to repeat the British version verbatim though.


Yeah very true. The South Park producers and Family Guy producers seem to get along.


Yeah. I also like watching docs like planet earth and cosmos. Our planet is so unique.


It really is.  It is the only planet that can easily sustain life.


Yes. And it wasn't until the 17th century that we learned/confirmed the planets orbit the sun.


There is one planet that doesnt tilt on its axis, do you know which one?


Are you talking about Venus? I think because of that is has no seasons!


That is right!  I think that is pretty neat that all the planets can do different things too, like Uranus that rolls sideways.


Yeah that is crazy to think about. While all other planets spin. I wonder how that came to be?


I dont know, I mean we keep kicking poor Pluto off the list.


Haha yes. I wonder what planet precipitates shards of glass sideways. Sounds lethal!


I wouldn't say I was into fitness, but I do like to stay active, I run a lot.


Me too. I go to the gym but my gym has not banned cable news.


It's cold here so I currently use the YMCA while the kids are swimming, the Y always has cable news on, Fox and also CNN.


It's cold here too. Been a LONG winter. I wonder why the gym banned it. Was it on communal tvs?


I assume so.  My guess it was provoking heated arguments between people of differing opinion.   or people were complaining about the fact that one particular channel was on.


I feel like LIfetime is a good gym that wouldn't have that type of tension but today's politics has people HEATED!


I see one Harvard study said that three minutes of negative news in the morning made people 27 percent more likely to say they had a bad day.


I am surprised it is that low. I get really upset watching the news, and not just politics. The murders too. I am from Chicago and the deaths need to stop.


Personally I stay away from cable news.  With 24 hour news they have to fill the time so it makes everything seem worse, people get needlessly scarred.   But I'm not denying what is happening in Chicago.


Yeah. Cable news can get really bi-polar. It seems to go further and further out. Republican leaning shows are starting to go further right and democratic shows are going further left.


They have to get more and more sensational to keep their viewers.  It's funny, at the YMCA I kind of pick which treadmill to use based on witch TV it is front, I do have my favorites.


Make sense. I am lucky that the gym I use has tvs on them. That's been a good thing. Plus, I usually bring my ipad to read books on.


I actually switch off the TV in the machine, I find I keep looking down at it, and then I see how far I have to go.  I try not to know because sometimes I get disheartened if it's further than I thought.


HA! I have been known to put a towel over that. I get too depressed and usualy just stop shortly therafter.


I sometime listen to the radio on the treadmill, if I can find something really engrossing it can make the time pass quicker, I just need the right entertainment.


Me too. I listen to a lot of podcasts on the treadmill. I also read and listen to classical. I am weird.


Hey whatever works.  In past years I've been training for marathons on the treadmill in winter, I'd have to do up to sixteen miles once or twice, any entertainment to make the time pass is appreciated.


16 miles! Nope... I can't do 2. I can cycle all day but I cannot run for the life of me.


I know, I live in a cold place and can't get on the streets until at least late March.    I'm just glad I don't do sixteen miles in front of Fox News.  That would really ruin my day.


It's cool that Hybrid Theory is so popular. I loved Linkin Park -- they were one of the early 00s groups that were like holdovers from the grunge era.


I was a huge fan of Linkin Park too.  They have the highest selling album of the 21st century still I think.  Very sad what happened to their lead singer.


Yeah. I always hate when someone's creative potential is cut short. It makes me happy though that Dark Side of the Moon is still popular. Did you ever try that trick of syncing it up with The Wizard of Oz?


I have not tried it, but I have heard it is a very cool experience.  Bob Marley is also still popular.  He's been on the carts for over 914 weeks!


Yeah, I love Bob Marley and reggae in general. Are you a fan?


I enjoy listening to it from time to time.  Bob Marley's album is currently at 69.


Nice! (Sorry). Which Marley album is it that's on the charts?


Haha!  That is a good question!  I have played a few Marley songs on Guitar Hero before.  Aerosmith has actually made more money from Guitar Hero than any of their albums, crazy!!


I've idly thought of learning the guitar for a long time, but never actually made a start at it.


Honestly, try doing guitar hero first.  I have never played the guitar, but I feel like I could now after playing that game!


I'm not a gamer, so I don't know how easy it would be for me. Does it require much outlay in hardware?


No, it comes with a guitar like piece.  You can get it pretty cheap at Walmart I bet.  That reminds me, Walmart only sells clean versions of albums which is pretty annoying.


It definitely is. I ordered Willie Nelson's "Countryman" reggae CD online because the Walmart cover changed the pot leaf to a palm tree. Morality wise, I have a bigger problem with Walmart encouraging sweatshops and generally mistreating their workers.


Haha, I could not agree more!!  Do you like dogs at all?  I am a dog person it is amazing what they can learn.  Dogs in Moscow have learned how to ride the subway!!


I'm mostly a cat person, but I like dogs! I thought of getting a terrier or dachsund or some other earth dog for a while, because of the groundhogs bothering my garden.


That is a good idea!  I like cats too, but it really impresses me that dogs can learn more than 1000 words!


Cats know the words too, they just don't seem like it because they're ignoring you LOL.


Haha, totally!  I wonder if cats can experience "eureka moments" and solve problems like dogs?  I bet they can.


I've got one named Buddy who seems to be an engineering genius at figuring out how to get into things I don't want him to. If he had hands he'd be like one of those squirrels you can't keep out of bird feeders.


Haha, that is awesome.  My daughter really wants us to get a cat.  I think we will make the plunge soon!


I bet you'll be glad you did. Hope she enjoys it! Nice chatting with you.


Are you into music? Do you go to concerts?


Hey there, yes I am.  I went to one out here in Costa Mesa, CA not too long ago. How about yourself?


I haven't been to a concert in a while. Haven't had time.


Yeah concerts give you a whole different atmosphere to enjoy the music to. You can feed off the energy of the crowd and so does the musician or artist.


It's true. It's quite different from listening to a recording of the concert. I'm surprised that Pink Floyd recorded a concert in an empty amphitheater. Why Pompeii?


Did they really? Probably for the acoustics?


I guess. Seems an expensive way to do it. There are other amphitheaters. The amphitheater in Croatia must have pretty good acoustics to still be in use.


The Pacific Amphitheatre out here where I saw the concert was amazing, and so is the Hollywood Bowl


The weather there is great for concerts. I wonder how many times the Ramones played at those venues.


I know the Ramones are still going strong right?  I know the Stones will play forever until they physically can't


The Stones will have holograms of themselves. They can't possibly pull a Linkin Park.


Yeah unfortunately if Linkin Park wants to do any more concerts, they would have to hologram their lead singer


I heard about the tragedy. I wonder if they'll find anyone that can do the same thing. I hope the fans wouldn't sue the band, like what happened to Creed.


Mike Shinoda still pays tribute to Linkin Park when he does shows.  No I doubt anyone would sue them. I'm pretty sure Creed sounded pretty terrible for people to sue them.


How many bands have been sued like that? Maybe they should have just retired from music to avoid lawsuits.


I have no idea, I think that would be pretty rare for someone to actually hire a lawyer to sue their previously favorite band. Most would just ask for their money back I guess ahah


Mostly sports and documentaries when I can find a good one. How about you?


I don't watch TV much. Maybe when I sit on an exercise bike. I prefer watching movies.


Yeah I like the series on streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix when I can actually sit down and follow them.  Which movies have you seen recently?


What have I seen? Hm. I watched the Matrix. I hadn't seen it in years. I usually prefer comedies, especially South Park.


Did you see the Family Guy episode they did a long time ago? Where Manatees where deciding how the plots of the shows went ? haha


Yeah, that was good. I hadn't seen Family Guy. I guess I get most of my knowledge of current events from South Park.


Yeah they are really up on current events. One  of the animators presented in a class I had years back. They literally work  half the year straight, making an episode basically every week for a few months so they are very current


Did the animator get paid well? Or is it just a job to build a resume?


I think they got paid pretty well, she enjoyed her job and working for Trey Parker


I know the Scientology folks investigated Trey and Matt but couldn't dig up any dirt. There was none. Those two are just too boring, I guess.


Yeah and somehow Isaac Hayes ended up dead one day next to a treadmill, people think Scientology had something to do with it after he left south park. very bizarre


He quit the show because of the episode mocking Scientology. That "church" is disturbing.


yeah. And I watched a documentary on them that included him, he had a massive heart attack or stroke, and then was back doing live shows with Scientology "security" monitoring him


I saw another doc about escaping the church. "Breaking free" or something.


I think I saw the same one, "Going Clear" it might've been ?  Also the Leah Remini docu-series is interesting


That sounds right. Well, it's been great chatting! Have a good day.


Hello there, do you know much about the white house?


Not much, I toured it once in 2005,   Being older, I remember Carter putting up solar panels, Reagon taking them down, and the 1st Bush putting them back up.


Yeah the old battle over the solar panels.  I went there but years back when I was young.


Obama added more solar panels.  I find interesting that the 1st telephone number of the White House was "1".  I would have thought it would have been unlisted?


I agree with you on that.  Did you know that there are twin white houses in ireland and france?


I did read about that.  And, their is a scaled down replica in Atlanta that it a private residence.  Have you been following the latest with Trump and Kim Jong-un?


I didn't know that, and yeah as much as I can take I guess.  How about you?


it seems like Trump and Kim Jong-un have another summit scheduled in Hanoi.  Do you think it will result in anything substantial toward nuclear disarmament of the Korean peninsula?


I hope it will result in some sort of good progress at least towards that yes, we can only hope though.


On the surface, it appears Trump is making more progress than his predecessors.  But, can Kim be trusted?  N. Korea has always been diplomatically unpredictable.  And, Kim has shown no reluctance to kill those he chooses, even on foreign soil.  Remember he is believed to have killed his 1/2 brother Kim Jong-nam in Malaysia.


Yeah he is totally unpredictable is right, but yes, it does appear that Trump is making more progress than others so we will have to wait and see.


I agree, we can only hope for progress.  The stalemate on the Korean Peninsula has been a big drain on the U.S. militarily and financially.  Kim Jong-un met with the South Korean President, in South Korean and even allowed NK to participate in the Seoul Olympics.  Maybe NK is slowly trying to come out of isolation?


I think they are, the participation in the Olympics means they want to be seen by the world and maybe start to be a part of it openly.


Well, Trump, being the 1st sitting President to meet with a NK leader should get some of the credit.  Why do you think Trump is having problems getting its foreign policy initiatives recognized?


I think because there is too much focus on other things.


I agree that he should drop Twitter - its not helping his image.  But I also wonder if it because he is an outsider who was not supposed to win (according to the mainstream media)?  It seems like he can't get a break from the press.


Yeah he can't, but with so much more media coverage these days, I don't think any president from now on will get much of a break.


True.  And since anyone can be a reporter on social media, the fake news will never cease.  I think that a core issue is he want to do it all himself and not direct and delegate.  His ever shifting rhetoric indicating that his administration cannot agree among itself when it comes to foreign policy!


Yeah that is the ongoing thing.  And exactly! Now, anyone can be a reporter so it is so hard to get actual facts.


With respect to trade among nations, I think Trump is right in that we have opened our markets to other countries while theirs remain closed and that others steal our technology without paying for it.  But it does not appear that they have game plan as to how to carry it out.  Any thoughts?


I just think it is too spread out and not direct enough.  Like instead of sending one or two officials, they send six all with different ideas.  Anyways, it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a nice day.


I don't play any fantasy sports, but i do read a ton of fantasy books.


I just finished the last expanse book called Persepolis Rising, its the book series the tv show is based on, and before that i read through the song of ice and fire books.


Oh.. never heard of them!  Not much of a reader :(  You ever read Terry Pratchett?


Yep I have read the Colour of magic and Thief of time.


WOW... you read a lot!  Did you like it?


Yeah I liked both of those books and keep meaning to read more of his stuff, just have not gotten around to it. Yeah I have been reading at a pretty constant rate since i was in middle school and found harry potter and the first Eragon books.


I admire you for that!  You ever heard of the "in the realms of the unreal?


I have actually watch that documentary. Its a pretty interesting watch if you have 2 hours to spare ha.


oh yeah?  I will definitely try and check that out!  Is it on Netflix or Amazon?


I think you can only watch it on youtube. It is interesting but also quite weird because the guy who made the book was very strange.


Well... i like strange and weird!  That means it's not cookie cutter like so much stuff out there today!


Yeah now if only Hollywood would stop making movies based on books without any regard to the actual source material, that would be really nice.


Hahaaaa... so true!  But i really do not see that happening.  It's an easy way to get content and get it to the theatre!


I think tv handles fantasy and book to screen works much better than movies do. Like game of thrones based on a song of ice and fire is fantastic. The Expanse is also fantastic and its going to be on amazon soon. Besides the original lord of the rings movies, not including the hobbit, and harry potter, I don't like when Hollywood does fantasy based on books.


Yeah... i can imagine!  Is that because they leave a lot of content out?


Well i don't think its about the amount of content but more so the person who decides to bring it to the screen. the reason Harry Potter stayed so true to the books is because Rowling had a very large hand in helping make the movies, and with Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson was a huge fan of the books long before he made the movies.


Yeah... i see your point!  Do you watch much television?


I watch some netflix and some hulu every now and then. I just finished the second season for The Handmaids tale.


Cool... well it was great chatting with you!  Enjoy your day!


Hello. How do you feel about the foreign policies of our current administration?


There really is. I was hoping that when North Korea came to the table to dicuss things that maybe we could take a step forward but it just seems like more and more fighting.


The administration itself cannot agree about anything let alone foreign affairs


They can't even agree amongst themselves. It is so frustrating how far we have fallen from presidents like JFK and Washington.


Maybe they should be required to speak a foreign language. FDR was the last guy to do so fluently


I think it would really go a long way to promoting a sense of being part of the world. Of course it could be worse. Trump could release a pop album like the indonesian president.


It might actually help him. He was known as a reality tv host prior. Might even boost his popularity


I'm not sure about that. It would give the comics something to rib him for besides his cheeto nickname though.


Woodrow wilson is the only president with a PHD maybe a requirement for more education to become president should be a thing


More education can't be a bad thing. Look at Teddy Roosevelt and George W Bush and their conservation efforts because of their knowledge about alternative energy and forest conservation.


Jimmy Carter was good too. He had the solar panels installed. Reagan had them removed. Glad W brought them back


Me too. I think if we are going to advance as a country we need to really make some strides in renewable energy and working together across party lines.


Very true. Some people are just too stubborn. Jimmy Carter also turned down the thermostats in the winter time!


Very energy minded. I wonder what he would have thought about the idea of having his opponent become his VP. I think that is something we should totally bring back.


Im not sure that would have worked with this last election. It might have cause civil war 2


It might have. I think it would force them to work together and maybe we could dig our way out of the mess of foreign relations that we have currently.


Kim jong un cuts his own hair. That explains a lot


I imagine given the paranoia and propeganda surrounding his regime he needs to maintain a certain image at all times. He even edits the pictures to show his people a different history.


North Korea is renovation theme parks under his order. Thats pretty cool


He is quite the contridiction that is for sure. He is a terrible person but seems to have moments of rationality. Well it has been nice chatting with you. Have a great day!


Hello there, are you a fan of the current US president?


hI! I am not actually but that is just my opinion. I do like the fact the president had a good meeting with KimJong Un.


Yeah I am the same, I want to have as good of relations as we can with him.


Yes, we are ll in this together! But the president does have a lot of problems with foreign affairs, hopefully all will work out.


Yeah I hope it does for sure.  Do you know much about other presidents around the world?


I don't really, I have never really followed politics and presidents until now and I just have to check to see what is going on, and a fun fact did you know FDR is the only president who spoke a foreign language?


I didn't and that really surprises me.  I would think that as a president you should be able to speak more than one.


I thought that too! I also didn't think someone like Kim Jong Un would be afraid of barbers....so he cuts his own hair!


That is pretty bad to be afraid lol.  Did you know that the president's guest house is actually bigger than the white house?


Wow, I think that is a bit odd! The White House is huge, I wonder why or which president decided to build a guest house that large!


Yeah isn't that strange, but who knows.  I wonder what all the guests that stay there think.


It is probably pretty fantastic! I would lol. I still think it is strange that 5 presidents so far have been elected while losing the popular vote, I will never understand our governments voting system


Yeah doesn't that seem stupid.  I don't understand that and our government in general as well.


Me either, probably never will. Just like the replica of the white house in Atlanta someone built for their home...lol


Yeah I will not understand that as well. Do you know who the top three wealthiest presidents in history were?


No, I can't say I do know who they are, but I have heard there were 3 presidents who were the wealthiest out of all the presidents. I do know the only president to have a PHD was Woodrow Wilson.


That is also surprising there has been only one president with a PHD.


Right? I wonder if any foreign presidents have Phd's...Sounds like Kim Jong Un has held some pretty important positions but not sure if he has any degrees.


I am pretty sure the Kim Jong Un has two degrees.  I know one of them is in physics.


Yes, that is correct! 1 in physics and one as an Army officer, he is a pretty powerful man.


Yeah isn't that wild.  Well it was nice talking to you, I hope you enjoy the rest of your night.


I have been to a few concerts over the years. My favorite is probably Heart.


I've never seen them live, but they are really good! I saw Linkin Park a long time ago- apparently they played 325 concerts in one year (2001)- that sounds exhausting!


That does sound exhausting. Probably not as exhausting as The Ramones who toured for 20 years though.


Yeah nonstop for that long...I guess you really have to be passionate about what you do! 2,263 concerts is insane!


I definitely couldn't do that. Obviously Creed couldn't either since their concerts have been so bad they got sued for it.


I read that too! I'm not a Creed fan...but I never thought they were that terrible haha I guess Pink Floyd recorded a live concert without an audience, no lawsuits there I guess!


Actually, Queen did that as well to shoot some of their music videos. They'd put on a full concert with no audience to get the correct shots.


That's really interesting! I never knew. What kinds of TV shows do you watch?


Mostly Sci-Fi and some drama. I don't watch a ton of TV.


I used to watch a lot of 70's show, which I thought was great, but I just read that its apparently not very popular in England- it was cancelled after only 10 episodes


I guess Pokemon didn't have that issue of being cancelled. I read that it has over 750 episodes. That's a lot!


Thats crazy! I can't imagine how that show kept going for so long. I never really understood it haha I read that Thomas the Tank Engine had a pretty interesting cast, so maybe that explains why that one has lasted. Ringo star, Alec Baldwin and George Carlin have all narrated it!


I think I'd prefer George Carlin narrating Thomas the Tank than John Legend's performance in Jesus Christ Superstar.


I never saw it, but I heard it wasn't great. I guess it was a little chaotic! I wasn't really a fan of the original either. Do you know who else was in it?


I think Sara Barielles was in it and she's pretty talented.


I like her a lot! She's got a great voice. On a random note- did you know there is an ancient amphitheater in Croatia thats still used for concerts? I can't imagine it would hold a show like Jesus Christ Superstar well though haha


I wonder what kind of concerts are held there? I bet it's a beautiful place.


I'm sure its a really unique experience! I wonder how big it is...I would imagine it can't hold a very large crowd


It's definitely  not the same size as Ganymede, Jupiter's moon that is planet sized. That could hold tons of people.


Yeah! The planet-sized moon...crazy. It was good talking to you!


I find the idea that universes evolve through natural selection fascinating. I guess this refers to the idea of a multiverse that's constantly percolating new universes out?


Yes I think so. The universe sure is interesting.


Yeah, I've seen dumbed-down explanations of physicists' theories in pop science journals' saying that each one of those new universes that pops out as a big bang or while hole has its own laws, and the ones with laws that function well give birth to new universes on a similar pattern


Yeah sorry my last response was cut off early haha. But yes the universe is super interesting, and I even saw there is a theory that we exist inside a black hole. I wonder how that would even work


Same. Unfortunately my hard science education was lacking. One of these days I intend to read all the major popularized works on modern physics (Dancing Wu Li Masters, Tao of Physics, etc.) so I can at least get the Sunday supplement version.


Haha that's a good idea. Did you hear that there may be a parallel universe? There's a cold spot in the microwave background that scientists detected in space, and they think there's a parallel universe in there. I wonder if I will ever meet my parallel self haha


Wild. I never saw that. I love alternate history science fiction though. Do you?


I do like alternate history stuff, I think it's very fascinating. How many times have you ever folded a piece of paper in half? Apparently 103 is the maximum amount of times that anyone could do it


I've never tried. I wonder if it wouldn't depend on the size of the paper you started with, though?


I don't think so. I think it's just an overall rule. Have you ever played a video game before?


Long, long ago -- like in the Pac Man and Space Invaders era. I never saw the appeal to be honest. How about you?


I used to play a lot of video games. But I don't really anymore. I played a lot when I was a kid. For instance I played the N64 game GoldenEye. Apparently a lot of the developers of that game that never even worked on a game before


I think it came out in like 1997. I don't know if you ever play the N64 but it was a great system. Have you ever heard of the Mortal Kombat games


I've heard of them and vaguely recall there being a movie based on them.


Yep there's a movie and a whole bunch of games. The first movie is good but the second one is horrible. I never really played the games, but they were very violent and they are the reason for the rating system that we currently have in video games


Wow -- I should google that. Reminds me of how the comics code came about in the 50s.


Yep it's the same kind of idea actually. And I know that Australia bans a lot of games. Which I think is funny, because they ban more games than even China


The EU also bans stuff, or they at least sensor games but not as badly as Australia. Have you ever been to a Chuck-E-Cheese before?


Never ate there -- I remember when they were called Showbiz and they had the hillbilly bears


I see, well if you ever decide to play theres a cheat sheet with tips for every week


I also recently read about the fantasy football NFL cheat sheet.


It seems like it has pretty good tips like which players are injured and who is recovering.


Indeed. Furthermore, it tells to give a general overview and update to news pertaining to the field of football, which is informative regardless of whether or not you play fantasy football, citing reliable sources like Coach Marvin.


Yeah and theres stats about every team so its definetely helpful, one of my picks will be a player from the Cardinals, Kirk.


Personally I heard that Dalton has been having a good season with a good chance of getting his No.1 wideout back.


I didnt hear about him, what team is he on? I might add him to my list as well.


Oh I see, do you have any other suggestions, what about Marcus Mariota? I think his also a decent QB.


I think Doug Williams and Russell Wilson are good choices, having won the super bowl respectively. Furthermore, it is interesting to note Kellan moore is the only left handed quarterback in nfl.


Really his the only left handed QB? I thought there were a t least a couple more, did you know there is a congress fantasy.


At least in the NFL. Personally, I am most interested in quarterback since they lead the offensive for the team.


Yeah and they also touch the ball on every play so I think QB is the most important position, do you know Alex Smith?


So he is a quarterback that received his bachelors degree in two years and before he was drafted as first pick in 2005 he was working on his masters degree.


Is he still planning to finish his masters? Is he as good as brad johnson who managed to throw a touchdown pass to himself?


I dont know, but I think he did as its been a couple of years now, and really? thats amazing I wonder how that went.


I am sure you can look it up on the internet considering the vast amount of information, resources, and services it provides.


I know! the internet is full of information I dont know what we would do without it.


Hi, how are you? Sometimes I watch NFL.What about you?


Didn't get a chance to. Busy with stuff. The NFL has certaintly come a long way. The league has humble beginnings. The first playoff game, played in 1932, was on an 80-yard long dirt field inside Chicago Stadium.


Yeah so many years since it started. you know, women can play too if they qualify


I've heard that! I bet a woman could be a kicker or a punter.


of course. I wonder why none of them play though


Probably no feeder system from college, etc. Maybe a soccer player could play kicker, but there are probably plenty of men available.


true. did you know new orleans cheerleaders cannot eat with the layers?


I think that problems stems from romantic relationships gone wrong. Probably want to avoid conflict.


Probably, but if they are eating and player walks in they have to leave


There is no justice in this universe. Speaking of which, the universe is a fascinating phenomenon. A piece of paper folded in half 103 times would be as thick as the observable universe. I’ll go for 102 and stop there, just to be safe.


There are so many theories about the universe nowadays


The universe might exist inside a black hole. I guess we can’t escape then because nothing escapes a black hole. I still think that the universe could just be a giant video game.


That sounds like Elon Musk. A cold spot in the cosmic microwave background has been theorized to link to a parallel universe. I wonder what my other self is doing in the parallel universe. Having a better life? Do women play in the NFL there?


Well, that is a very good question. Or some think that there is only one electron in the universe


Quite possible, but not really my pet theory. I like the superhologram one. I enjoyed chatting with you! Maybe we’ll chat in the parallel universe, if we can manage to get out of this black hole that we’re in.


Take care! Have a good night! Stay safe in the superhologram!


Well, yes in a way. I played a lot of golf, probably 2 or 3 times a week college through the birth of my son, after that I kind of got away from the game as both a player and fan so only follow golf from a distance.


I never played. it always seemed too expensive. all the equipment and greens fees and stuf.


Yes, that why world wide soccer makes more money than football, basketball and the rest of professional American sports combined. In a poor country they can afford goals and a ball, where football equipment for each player or golf equipment is prohibitively expensive.


yeah, soccer is the democratic game. poor kids with a ball can play on the beach. i loved to play as a kid. i dint need nothing but a ball.


Well, i grew up in the Midwest so it was Football/Basketball/Baseball as soccer was looked on as something foreign in 1978. By the time my son was in high school and living on the east coast it was an accepted varsity sport. Speaking of golf, did you read where Kim Jong-Il according to North Korea press has only golfed one time in his life and had 11 holes-in-on on the 18 holes. I"m sure that is totally true and a record that will never be broken.


yes, i bet he set every record that was possible in golf. he probably was the best player ever. I grew up on the west coast and soccer was common. i like it because you didnt need to be tall or muscular.


Well, the coasts were always ahead of the Midwest, I was in the last class in college to program with punch cards, but that will date me. I read where Antarctica has a disc golf course, one wonders if it's open year around and if penguin get in the way like ducks and geese do on standard courses since they always have lots of lakes and food along the fairways.


the antarctica course is one of the trickiest. many golfers have died on the course, and that is the challenge: can you survive, or will you end up penguin food?
