This is Social Blend Transcript
Transcript courtesy of the guys from Mixx.com
“A video on YouTube circulated around the world on the internet today showing what appears to be a young marine causing a puppy off a cliff… The grainy images looked as if they were captured on a cellphone camera.”
“This is a shocking and a horrible video that’s contrary to the high standards that we separate every marine. We will investigate this and take appropriate actions.”
“…marine come across a tiny puppy.”
“Oh it’s so cute, so cute. Look puppy.”
“Then one marine does the unthinkable, launching the puppy into the air. It’s too disturbing to broadcast. The puppy soars off a cliff.”
(Puppy cries)
“Its yelps are silenced when it hits the ground below.”
“I got your name. I got your ass. You fucked with the wrong marine!”
(Music plays)
Greg: “Hey everyone, this is Greg Davies also known as CGT2099.”
Jay: “Hey what’s up Silent Jay 74”
Greg: “And we’re joined with a couple of guests tonight for Social Blend. We’ve got Edie also known as tomboys and fishnets. How are you doing Edie?”
Edie: “Hey guys.”
Greg: “And we’ve also got Mike on T.V. How are you doing Mike?”
Mike: “Ah, shalom, Mike on T.V.”
Greg: “It’s good to have you guys with us tonight. We’re hoping to bring you guys for quite a while now actually.”
Mike: “Oh thanks.”
Edie: “Yeah, thank you.”
Greg: “So we’ve got a lot to talk about tonight. We’ve ah, the big issue that we’re going to be talking about a little later on is the, ah, the video of the marine and puppy incident that happened ah, earlier in the week, which is going to generate a lot of discussion and we’ve also got some other stuff we’re talking about, ah, going on over at Mixx. But first stop we’re going to talk about some Mixx and social blend news, the only real big news that makes this week because they had, ah, last week I launched the Facebook out, but this week they announced that NPR have added Mixx buttons to their site.”
Edie: “Oh that’s great!”
Mike: “Yes it was.”
Greg: “Yeah, which is, which is really, really cool. Um, now I don’t really do the NPR thing, but I know Jay and Brian listen to NPR so, Jay what did you think about the, that news tonight?”
Jay: “Well, actually I thought it was pretty cool. You see, every morning on my way to work, I’ve got like a 30, 35-minute drive, ah, into work every morning and I’m flipping on NPR, find out what’s going on and it’s really good for me because that way I can also use some of the stuff that I hear on the NPR audio for Mixx submissions or other social media submissions that I would like to make. Um, so I was really excited to find out about it. I actually tested it out. I was looking at a Barack versus Hilary story. I go down, I look and under the share this link, if you click on share this, sure enough there’s ah, the drop down comes up and you have all the social media sides represented and there was a nice little Mixx button so…”
Edie: “You go Mixx!”
Greg: “That’s awesome.”
Mike: “Yes, that’s real recognition.”
Jade: “Oh yeah.”
Greg: “Well, it’s growing man, and the words are getting out there so that’s, that’s always awesome. Um, I want to send out another reminder to everyone listening um, you might remember in the last episode ah, I spoke about Mixx opening their API in the very near future and they’re after feedback from people, Kerry from Mixx posted a thread over at the Mixxing Bowl and I wanted your feedback on what kind of content information and data you would like to have available if you’re developing API tools. Okay so if you’re that kind of person that likes to do the API thing, ah, do this right now. Okay. Scroll down the page you’re at, okay if you’re on the Social Blend page, you’ll see the link directly to the Mixx API feedback thing. Click on that and open it in a new tab. And while you’re at it, pause this bloody podcast and get on post your feedback. Now, I’m talking about it now. So, you go and do that and get your feedback out there because they’re really interested in hearing from you guys as to what, um, what your interests are in terms of API. And the more feedback they get, then the better the tools they’re going to be when they come out so please do that. I also want to let everyone know um, you might remember we had a Mixx campaign for popurls.com, where we got Mixxers to contact Thomas Marban over popurls.com which was very successful. Thomas added Mixx to the site. Ah, we’ve got another Mixx campaign coming. I’m not going to mention anything just yet, but just, be aware that that’s coming and that it’s going to be worthwhile checking out. Now, the big news for me in the social media world was um, Adam Lyttle also known as Moojj from Digg. You guys know Moojj, right?”
Jay: “Oh yeah.”
Edie: “Yeah.”
Mike: “Absolutely.”
Jay: “Good guy.”
Greg: “Okay. Um, he hit me up earlier in the week and he said, dude I want you to have a look at something. And he sent me like this very early beta version of his new stumble upon alerter. Now, if you guys have already seen it, now it’s got a lot of stumble logo, that really swish and everything. I had this thing that looks like a very boring looking grey box, you know, you hadn’t any graphics to it. And he showed this thing to me and it was damned impressive. And so I gave him some feedback on it and lo and behold, a couple of days later, he’d launched the beta and you can get that from ah, blog.adamant.com.au and we’ll post the direct link out to where you can download it. So if you’re a stumbler, definitely check that out. It’s such a handy resource to, to have if you’re an active stumble user. The other thing he, he, also he said that he’s interested in the Mixx APIs as well, and this guy’s a monster when it comes to developing stuff out of API. So….”
Mike: “Absolutely.”
Edie: “He’s a genius Absolute genius.”
Jade: “He’s got a great dig app just like that one and also a twitter app which I use a lot and ah, just pops up every, you know, 40 minutes or so and asks you what you’re doing. Ah, no matter what program you’re running so you don’t have to be in the browser or in another third party app to be twittered, you just get prompted every 40 minutes or you can change the time. It’s a great little thing.’
Greg: “Wow, I didn’t actually know he had that app, but I can see the link right now so I’m definitely going to download that one when we finished recording.”
Jade: “Twitters 40, I think he calls it.”
Greg: “Yeah, 40twitter it is. So and, we’ll…”
Edie: “It’s nice.”
Greg: “Well, he’s just passionate. He’s passionate about social media and ah, you know, it’s also what he does for a living like he’s involved in tech and, and, you know, he’s a fellow Aussie so you know, I’m going to send a shout out to him, good on you, mate. You know, it’s just, he’s just very creative and you know because he’s got such passion for social media, he comes out with all these great tools so you know, definitely check it out. So, and I understand he was on the drill down during the recording that they did on Friday night so if you weren’t at the live recording of the drill down, go and head over to the drilldown.com and have a listen to the post that Mr. Babyman’s put up. They’ll have the podcast there and you can listen to Moojj talk about the new stumble upon alerter. And just on that note, I’ll throw in another plug there, ah, swing by either the drilldown.com or mixxingbowl.com on Sunday evenings and you’ll be able to hear the roundup recorded by myself and Mr. Babyman where we talk a little bit about both social blend and the drill down, but we also talk a little about some entertainment news specifically geared at geeks. Last week we talked about Ironman with the new trailer coming out, so, yeah definitely check that out and that’ll give you a good preview of what’s coming up in each episode. Moving right on, I wanted, I wanted to bring this story to the very top tonight because it impacted a lot of us quite deeply. Earlier in the week, I honestly can’t tell you where I found the link, I honestly can’t tell you who, whether someone has sent it to me or I just like stumbled it or accidentally came across it through pours or you know, whatever the case was because usually when I’m doing social media stuff and doing submitting, I’ll have like 100,000 tabs opened at once and half of them I can’t remember where I found the links from, so you know, I’m just that ADD when it comes to social media. But I came across this video, the web page was in another language and I couldn’t understand the word of it, so, but I played the video and it was all, this marine in Iraq, he had this puppy, grabbed by the scruff of its neck, had its legs tied up and the guy proceeds to throw the puppy off the cliff and you could hear the puppy yelping as it goes down, it’s…”
Jay: “Real quick Greg. Real quick Greg and I hate to interrupt you, but I’m going to. He does not deserve the title marine and you’re (censored) dam right I have the right to say that. I was in the marine corp. for nine years and I was a sergeant of marines and this type of behavior is absolutely (censored) deplorable.”
Greg: “Well actually I was going to call him mother (censored). Will that work?”
Edie: “Okay that will work, asshole, work mother (censored), I’m fine…”
Mike: “That’ll work.”
Greg: “Yeah, mother (censored) works and not only because it sounds good for the guy but also it sounds weird when an Australian says mother (censored) (laughs). So, um, but ah, yeah, anyway this guy threw the puppy off the cliff and I was absolutely horrified, I mean, it just blew me away. And ah, so I posted it to Mixx with the warning saying it was life disturbing and it was disturbing footage and it generated an amazing response, that, I mean, I think it’s got the longest or the most amount of comments on any story that Mixx has. Ah, it just had such an impact on people. And I want to say real quickly before I open the floor to everyone about the story. One of the complaints, I especially noticed this over at Reddit, that it was pathetic that people were reacting to this story in such way. I don’t fall into that. No one’s saying that one tragedy or one life, no matter whether it’s, it’s human or dog is, you know, more tragic than the other, there’s no measurement factor involved in stuff like this. You don’t measure this kind of stuff. It’s just, it’s reprehensible. These people that are jumping up and down about the reaction that people had, you’re forgetting the fact that humans are animals as well; we’re just a bunch of freaking monkeys. We’re glorified monkeys. So, neither issue is, nor both issues are just as tragic to me. That’s my take on it. Anyway, I’m done rambling, here’s the floor for you guys.”
Edie: “Well, Greg I agree with you completely about that. I’m always amazed that people get upset about animal abuse like when Michael Vick who’s into dog fighting and people were like, well look at, you know, all he people that have been hurt, it’s like, yeah that doesn’t make this any less important or you know emotionally responsive. It’s abuse. Abuse is abuse and it doesn’t meant I don’t care about the people that have been hurt or killed or maimed in all the, you know, the war crimes that have been going on in Iraq and all over the world, but I can still care about a little puppy, whose, whose legs are tied together, who’s being innocently thrown over a cliff.”
Greg: “Right. One way I explained it to someone was like, you know this was a puppy tied up, it’s not like it was a human that could fight back, you know.”
Edie: “That, the other thing is that puppies and children, I think that one of the big reasons people has such an emotional response towards animals and children are because they’re helpless.”
Greg: “Right.”
Edie: “And, and they’re innocent.’
Jay: “Well, I’ve found something on Mahalo and I just want to go ahead and read this very quick. It’s a quote from ah, shithead himself, and it says this, “and this is a shit…”
Greg: “Wait, Jay, really quick mate, what is this guy’s name again?”
Jade: “Ah, David Motari.”
Greg: “Okay.”
Edie: “Motari? Could you spell that?”
Jade: “M-O-T-A-R-I.”
Greg: “And before you jump into that, people if you’re listening and you want to like Google this guy and have a look at this is all about, go ahead that’s fine. But, don’t go on vigilante mission or anything like that. I mean the family’s, the family’s are already getting death threats and, but they don’t need that shit just because, just because, you know, this guy’s a dickhead, so, sorry Jay.”
Jay: “No absolutely not. Right, absolutely. Do not, mess with his family. No it’s fine. I’m glad you brought that up. Do not mess with his family. His family or his wife, um, they are not the ones who did this okay. They don’t deserve the crap that they’re going through. Now, Motari on the other hand is going to get what’s coming to him. Um, and I say this, and he’s going to get it legally. He’s going to get it ah, definitely through the UCMJ when they find out and they finished their investigation. And I know this is going to happen, people are going to say, ‘well the marine corp. isn’t going to do anything’, bullshit! The marine corp. is going to do something because this whole incident gave them a black eye. Okay, you do not go out and you do not completely smack the honor of the marine corp. in the face. You do not do that, number one.”
Edie: “Joe for people…”
Jay: “He is going to get something. Yes?”
Edie: “For people that are dumb like me, what is what is the UCMJ stand for?”
Jay: “Oh, Uniform Code of Military Justice, the UCMJ.”
Edie: “UCMJ.”
Jay: “Right.”
Edie: “Okay, thank you.”
Jay: “Hey not a problem. Um, but anyway, here’s the direct quote from Motari himself, it says, “and this is the shit I have to put up with everywhere I’ve gone today. Believe me I’ve heard it all, the thing that you guys don’t know or don’t understand is that you’re not out there.” Okay here’s what I have to say to that, dumbass, I’ve been out there, at no (censored) time did I get a throw a puppy off a (censored) damned cliff call, okay. So number 1 that’s bullshit right there.”
Greg: “Okay.”
Jay: “Moving on to his second paragraph of his statement, “what, do you expect me to carry a sick dog from patrol 10 plus miles back to camp with me?” No, leave it alone, let it sit there, leave it alone. Don’t touch it. Carry on marine. Jesus Christ! Were that (censored) stupid? “Did you know that we’re not supposed to have dogs?” Really well what about Kapok, the dog that was found in, ah, wrapped up in some concertina wire and the marines freed it from there and they actually it home. There are a lot of stories of marines adopting dogs over there, so don’t give me that shit, that’s bullshit as well Motari. “It was going to die of slow horrible death.” Well guess what? That’s nature, don’t mess with the dog and don’t throw it off a (censored) cliff. “Sorry, you guys saw that, but it wasn’t supposed to ever been shown.” Well what was supposed to ever been done either Motari? “Usually, what happens is we shoot them” okay, why waste around? Yeah, go ahead and shoot him and give off your position. Again, you’re (censored) jackass. Um, “I was being creative that day”. Okay, you’re being creative? Yeah, that, that’s not being creative, that’s being just flat out (censored) retarded and stupid. “So we decided to throw the dog instead”. All right, that’s just sick. “If I could take it back, I would either way, I did the dog a favor, sorry if you can’t understand”. Okay, yeah, you know what, we can’t understand. And you didn’t do anybody any (censored) favors, you asshole. You could’ve just kept going on, but instead you wanted to sit there and put the sick (censored) video out. Let me tell you something Motari, had I been your (censored) platoon sergeant, your ass would’ve gone down that cliff right after that (censored) dog. You understand? So, yeah, you (censored) with the wrong marine. And guess what Motari; I called the Provost Marshall as soon as I saw the story break. Its
Greg: “Right on Joe.”
Edie: “Yeah, Joe. Wow, you have me in tears.’
Greg: “So and like what Jade said, like he was ah, the first to, to contact ah, the marines about the video and we’ve been getting some state feedback about that. Jay what kind of um, feedback in response are we getting from ah, the marines over in
Jay: “Ah, here’s what happened, when I first saw the story break about 6:30 when I saw this, I immediately got on the phone with the Provost Marshall’s office and they hadn’t heard about it. Um, I was speaking to the then sergeant and I’m going to leave his name out of this and he is like, you’ve got to afford me all the links you can. He goes, what, did you see this on YouTube? I said, no when I’m sure it’s going to hit there shortly. Um, so I sent him all the links and every time I would see something else pop up about it, I would fire the link over and then I, talked to Lindie Yokahama over at the PAO Office and she said that ah, Major Perreney had gotten my emails and they’re reviewing it now and I got feedback from Major Perreney, it says, I just got in the office. I just found out about this. I’ve been reviewing this and we are going to launch an investigation. He says, this ah, is a deplorable behavior and is not keeping with the high standards that we have as marines. Thank you for your service and thank you for the heads up. So…”
Edie: “Nice.”
Jay: “Um, I knew that ah, it was going to be a shit storm, when something like this happens, um, and let me tell you something people, if you see anything like this, don’t sit idly by. If you want to make a difference, do something constructive, report it. Okay, report it to the right authorities and don’t take matters into your own hands and do not again, like Greg said, don’t blame the family. Don’t blame his wife. They’re not the ones who did this, okay? You need to calm down a little.”
Mike: “Can I ask Jay ah, what do you think the consequence should be for this marine? Should he be ah, kicked out of the military?”
Jay: “Well, um, here’s what I honestly think is going to happen, um, when you damaged the marine corp. in such a way and ah, it’s become a public affair’s nightmare, it’s probably going to be worse. So, what I honestly see happen into this guy is yes he is going to get a reduction in rank. I can already tell that’s going to happen. And um, he may be put on base restriction. Now that’s just through non-judicial punishment. Now, this goes through a court
Greg: “Right. Actually, Jay, I just, I just want to follow up with ah, something that you’ve mentioned before about taking matters into your own hands, ah, and this is kind of related to that. Um, one of the guests that we had on the show a few weeks ago, Paul Sanchez, also known as Solo Ride, really cool guy, um, he posted a comment in the original story and I just wanted to share it with you guys because it, it was, had a pretty big impact on me. Um, I’m just going to read part of it. He says, “I hope that he is punished to the full extent of the law. This affected me on multiple levels. One, the poor puppy never deserved that. Two, how it makes the military look? Three, how it makes the
Edie: “It does. It says…”
Greg: “You know, it angered a lot of people and you know, but, you know, let the right authorities deal with this.”
Jay: “Right absolutely. Um…”
Greg: “Edie, you were going to say something?”
Edie: “I said it says it says a lot about who follows this person as well. But, but, also Joe, I have to say listening to you talk is, you know, it’s, it’s heartwarming to me to hear somebody that’s been in the military, that was in the marines, that was a sergeant that is this affected. That, that, because as a non-military person that knows nothing about the military, you think that maybe people in the military are trained to like kind of maybe not have, like have their sense of pain and suffering be brought down because of what they have to go through and, I’m probably not wording it correctly but to be a little numb to things in the world and…”
Greg: “Desensitized?”
Edie: “Yeah, thank you. And to hear the pain in your voice in just reading all of that and, and your sense of injustice and, and your need to bring it to the world and bring it to the people that can do something about it, you know, having action is great. I, I, it’s, I have a whole new respect for the military just hearing you and your response.”
Jay: “Well here’s, and I, and I appreciate that. But here’s something that a lot of people don’t understand. I’ve seen a lot of comments on some social media sites where people say that ah, military personnel are just a bunch of killers, blah, blah, blah. You know they do atrocities and everything else…”
Edie: “Just, if I can interject. That’s not what I was saying at all. Just so you know.”
Jay: “No, no, I, I know, I know, I know that’s not what you’re saying. And my counterpoint to that whole thing, ah, to their whole comments and stuff like that is, look not everybody is like that. If I am told to go into a village and kill everybody in that village by my superior officer, I am not going to do it. And I’m going to blow the whistle and I’m going to say, hey, this guy wanted me to go in there and just commit mass murder. I’m not about to do that. It’s your job to know the difference between right and wrong. And it’s your job as a leader of your marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen, whatever branch of the military you’re in, it’s your job as a leader to instill the difference between right and wrong into your subordinates. So…”
Greg: “One thing, one thing I notice is like, it’s, it’s very similar to the Australian SIS, but with marines, they had this saying over here like, you know, there’s no such thing as a former marine, once a marine, always a marine?”
Jay: “Right.”
Greg: “And, you know, with being a marine, like I said is very similar to the Australian SIS in the sense that there is a much more intense ah, immense pride about being part of something like that.”
Edie: “Like a code of honor.”
Greg: “That’s exactly what it is. And you know, it’s, you know, it’s really heartening to, I mean, I’m kind of like you because you know, I’ve got relatives over here that ah, you know, have been in the military and so, you know, I know what it’s like ah, you know, my brother-in-law gets, he works in recruiting and he was, you know, he has to deal with the protesters accusing him of being a baby killer and, you know, this is the same guy that helped, you know, a few people in Iraq rebuild a school. You know it’s like (laughs) where, where is that mentality coming from if they’re hurling those kind insults at them?”
Jay: “Well let me tell you something. Again, I ran into some comments at a social media sites, like I was saying, you know, people were doing the baby killer and blah, blah, blah thing. And this one guy really struck a nerve with me, I said look, I said I hope this doesn’t happen, but on the same token I hope it does. One day, you’re going to need the military. Something is going to happen and you’re going to need them. And they’re like, “What could possibly happen? You’re already fighting a blood war blah, blah, blah, blah over bullshit on, bullshit weapons and mass destruction.” I mean he just kept on going and said, okay what when ah,
Edie: “No.”
Greg: “The name, name sounds familiar, mate.”
Jay: “He’s got his own show on the Travel Channel, right. Well he was stuck over there and the marines came and got the
Edie: “I wouldn’t either. And I, I would not feel safe if our country did not have a military. And I feel extremely grateful and thankful and appreciative to all of the men that do serve us. It’s unfortunate that yes, people like Bush, put, put those men and women in danger but without a military, we would not be safe country. It’s necessary and I respect and appreciate everyone that serves.”
Mike: “David Motari doesn’t represent anybody, but himself. And ah, you know the military, it’s a bit of a black eye, another black eye for the military but I think in our heart of hearts we all know that this is a pretty extreme situation, extreme case. And it was unfortunate it was captured on video as well. It makes it sound like its happening all over the place and not being put on video. I mean it, it would be eerie if it was, I mean this, this to be one of the rare situations where puppies are being thrown off cliffs by a military personnel and, and it happens to also be videotaped and then uploaded, it’s just an unfortunate set of circumstances that has happened.”
Greg: “Yeah, people would perceive it as ah, you know, they see somewhat has happened and ah…”
Mike: “Commonality.”
Greg: “Yeah, they might say, they might think of themselves, well why the, you know, what happens when it’s not being filmed, you know, and, you know, it’s. It’s just like, like Joe said it’s given the marine, the image of the marines a black eye and that’s, that’s not cool. But I mean, just getting back to the protesting thing, I, I mean I don’t understand why people protest against a, a, you know, against soldiers whether it be online or, you know, at other recording stations say, baby killers or what not, you know, why do that to, to the men and women in uniform? I mean they’re just doing their job. Then why can’t…”
Edie: “Well if you think about it…”
Greg: “Why can’t they direct their anger at the right people like the politicians, who the (censored) sent them over there in the first place.”
Edie: “I don’t… It’s crazy. I mean if you think about it, everybody, I don’t know about other countries, but in the U.S. most people that go into the military do it to get a college education to find direction, to find, you know so they’re not out on the street mugging people because you know, they’re doing it to better themselves and to be doing it and then get caught up where you’re being sent to war. And you have to do that and you have to deal with how many, how many times are people deployed now, to
Greg: “Well I mean, you’re referring more to like the government, like ah, aid and stuff like that to military personnel who came back injured or disabled right?”
Edie: “Yeah., exactly. And our government does not support them and they put them in this horrible hospitals and it, it where they should be, you know, decorated with honors, they’re coming back and being treated like crap. It’s horrible the way the
Greg: “Well, it’s the, it’s similar back home, ah, you know, in terms of people coming home injured or disabled from war. They, they, you know, they don’t get the ah, fair crack of the whip as we say back home you know, it’s, it’s not like ah, you know, they’re respected in everything by everyone, but they just don’t get the right
Edie: Medical care financial care, no it doesn’t come through. Like people are struggling, people who have, at, at 20 years old who have had their lives turned upside down and…”
Greg: “Yeah my dad actually, my father, he’s name is Terry, he ah, he’s ah, former Australian SAS commando. He fought in the
Edie: “Oh yeah, there’s a lot. But still they have to go through so much red tape. I mean the red tape in the
Greg: “Hmmm, absolutely, absolutely. Well ah, Motari, if you’re listening to this and I doubt that you are, but if you’re listening to this, I would say to you, (censored) off. That’s all I’m going to say. Moving on, ah, we’re doing the stories of the week now. Do you guys have a story that you may have seen at Mixx or elsewhere?”
Mike: “I still, I’ve found something interesting in Mixx today, and it was the top 100 NES games to be able to play in your browser. And um, I tagged…”
Greg: “Yesss…”
Jay: “Yes.”
Mike: “…it in Mixx as a retro games all one word no spaces and ah, you can find that on Mixx app and it is, every single, the top 100 NES games, so all of the important NES games your Super Mario Brothers 3, your, your Tetrises, ah, your, your excite bikes, everything that we grew up on, original Zelda all browser based through flash and it’s fantastic…”
Greg: “Ghostbusters.”
Mike: “Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, ah, it’s, it’s fantastic and I’m loving it. And ah, it’s so funny I’ve plugged in Tetris today and it is the original Tetris, it’s not the Game Boy version or whatever one made it popular or the one, the version we’re used to. It is the original ah, you know, the 8-bit. The sounds are, are, so archaic and it’s fascinating. It’s a piece of history and it’s sort of going in a time machine back to these old, old games.”
Edie: “Like playing keyboards on a Casio
Greg: “Yeah, mate, I’m going to tell you this, that story was actually submitted, I’m sorry I can’t remember who originally submitted it, but um, it was submitted like, nine days ago. And I…”
Mike: “Oh, man”
Greg: “No, no, no, no, no, no. It’s just gotten popular. I was currently explaining what happens at Mixx because not a lot of people know this, um…”
Jay: “Submitted by Captain McNerd.”
Greg: “That’s the one, thank you Jay.”
Jay: “Yes.”
Greg: “Um, I found it like two days ago or, yeah, I found it on like Friday afternoon which completely ruined my Friday afternoon at work, I got nothing done. You know (laughs) I was too busy playing Super Mario Brothers for the rest of the day. But um, I was like, this is amazing, why didn’t this get front page? So I ended up sharing it with everyone who is following me. Ah, and then ah, Paula B. shared it as well. And what actually happens with stories at Mixx is it has never hit the popular page no matter how old they are. Um, if they get a certain amount of votes they can still hit the popular page.”
Jay: “Oh my God dude.”
Edie: “I didn’t know that, that’s really good to know.’
Jay: “Skate or Die
Greg: “There’s no 24-hour threshold on there. What’s that?”
Jay: “Skate or Die”
Mike: “No it’s the original Skate or Die, yeah, fascinating. So that’s interesting about Mixx, it’s um, it tells you that they’re actually popular because a link can be submitted and then a month later, ah, that link or that source becomes popular and then people Mixx it and then it gets, literally becomes popular. It doesn’t have to…”
Greg: “Right. Yeah.”
Mike: “…whether it becomes popular in threshold of 24 hours like you said.”
Greg: “Yeah, well I mean, Digg has this competitive nature about it where, if a story gets submitted, you’ve only got 24 hours to get to the front page, that’s all you’ve got.”
Edie: “Yes.”
Greg: “Whereas with Mixx, you could submit something like, um, say for example with the story earlier in the year of Heath Ledger passing away. If somebody had submitted the story much earlier on about ah, Heath Ledger, you know, dealing with insomnia, dealing with the type of medication he was taking and submitted it to Mixx and it got nowhere, there could’ve been a very good chance that somebody could’ve rediscovered that story and said, “Hey check it out, he just passed away and this story is related to it. Ah, I could share it. And it would still, it still become popular.”
Edie: “Oh wow, that’s great.”
Jay: “Excellent example.”
Edie: “Yeah, it was good.”
Greg: “So, um, you know, so if you do come across a GMC, I used to do that like in Digg where I used to find a story, ah, before it got banned, you know, I used to find a story and I was like, oh it might have been something else trying to submit myself and it be a dupe and it got like two diggs and it was posted like 30 days ago. I’m like, man that’s such good stuff. You know, why didn’t it make the front page, you know. It’s, it’s, you know, why didn’t they get the votes? This actually gives stories a second chance. So you know, they’re really serving the content in that regard…”
Edie: “Well because a lot of times like on Digg, it’ll be like a good story, will be submitted by a complete newbie that will only get like one or two, they don’t know how the system works so, it’ll get like one, maybe two, maybe three votes and then it’s gone. And I don’t think a story should be, disappear because of that. But the way they have it set it up, it, it does and it’s good to know that Mixx doesn’t work like that.”
Greg: “Right. Yeah, and the other good example is because, with Mixx you got the whole personalization thing happening with your Mixx. If you get an interest, if you suddenly developed an interest in something like, you know, let’s say because ah, the movie is coming out later in the year, um, you want to add Indiana Jones to your, your Mixx, so you do a search for Indiana Jones and add the tag to your Mixx. You might, you know, if you’ve never looked through that stuff before, you might something, find something that’s never hit the popular page. But you might think wow this is quite good, this might actually, more people really should have a look at this. Ah so, by, by emailing it and sharing it with people, you give that story a second life, so to speak.”
Edie: “That’s what’s nice about the groups on Mixx.”
Jay: “It also makes, ah, less cutthroat I think as well because you can let an article sit and ah, and gain popularity
Greg: “Absolutely.”
Edie: “Yeah and you don’t have to spam everybody. Do this quickly, Digg it, Digg it. We only have two hours left, can you Digg it?”
Greg: “Yeah, you know, it’s, it’s ah, and it’s almost frantic for some people, like you know…”
Edie: “It…”
Greg: “You know I, I, I, even though, you know what’s funny? Even though I’ve been perfectly banned from Digg I still get like IM messages from people saying, “Hey man can you Digg this?”
Edie: “(laughs) Of course people are desperate. They’ll, they’ll stumble you. Can you Digg this? (Laughs)”
Greg: “Yeah.”
Edie: “They’ll G-talk you, they’ll Skype you. I already did like when you first submitted that, oh sorry (laughs).”
Greg: “Yeah, yeah it’s odd. So yeah, that story’s great um, Mike. I mean, I found that ah, that post the other day and I tell you what, I mean it just, and it wasted my Friday afternoon (laughs). You know good old Super Mario Brothers. And the funny thing is like, even the way they have set up the controls on the keyboard, they matched the controller, the original controller really well. Do you know what I mean? It makes it easier to play.”
Mike: “It, it’s positioned properly. It’s funny, I have a 9-year-old brother and ah, and I showed him the site and he doesn’t really understand ah, the appeal of the old Super Mario games, and the Final Fantasies and thinks, he’d much rather play Fancy Pants On, Contraband or something like that. And ah, he won’t touch it. It’s quite funny how times have changed.”
Jay: “Oh for me it’s all about the nostalgia, man. I mean, while we were sitting here talking, I was sitting there playing Top Gun. I mean…”
Edie: (laughs)
Jay: (laughs)
Mike: “1942.”
Edie: “I’d be more wanting Super Mario Brothers, but I love that.”
Greg: “These games are timeless like, you know, the ones you’ve been mentioning. They’re just absolutely timeless. They’re, they, you know, they have, it’s like Pac man, you know?”
Edie: “Yeah. You’re…”
Greg: “You know no matter how old the, yeah, those games will never get old. They’ll never get old. Um, so these kids nowadays that are all about the Halo 3 and the Call of Duty 4 and all that stuff, um, you know, eventually the same thing is going to happen to them, like that’s going to be their retro, which is kind of scary because it makes me feel old just talking about that, but, you know…”
Edie: “Well everything’s going to be 3-D in like five years and it’s going to be like…”
Greg: “Oh could you, could you imagine like when we’re old and moldy and sitting in a wheelchairs and like talking to our grandchildren and we’ll be like, yeah you know, when I was playing video games, I used to play as a dot, we used to go around and eat up dots and chase ghosts around.”
Edie: (laughs)
Greg: “So anyway, ah, talking about games, Joe you wanted to mention something about um, some big news that happened this week on another game front, ah, more to do with title top gaming and ah, role playing games.”
Jay: “Yeah, I mean I’m not a big RPG man myself, I mean, but here’s the thing. I’ve been guilty of it, I mean, I own
Greg: “You know what’s interesting ah, the tributes that came out ah, XKCD and penny arcade this week…”
Mike: “That was funny.”
Greg: “Ah, they’re on Mixx. We’ll post the links to them in the show notes, but they were so good like the XKCD one was just classic, I mean, it was, if Gary got to see them surely he would have had a great charcoal at them. You know, its sad news for ah, the gaming community around the world, um, but you know, his legacy is going to live on through the games. I mean it’s lasted so many years.”
Jay: “Oh yeah man, I think they started what? Like the 70s? Or something like that?”
Greg: “Yeah, I think it was the late 60s that they started putting it together.’
Edie: “Really?”
Greg: “Um…”
Jay: “Yeah, I mean the games’ been going pretty long times. Very successful, I mean, anyway you look at it, um, Dungeons and Dragons or D&D is, is kind of like a staple in the geek culture. So, I mean, this was a big loss and ah, like I said I’m guilty of it, you know. I own
Greg: “Well I mean, I’ve never drummed into Dungeons and Dragons myself simply because it’s like with _____ playing games, they suck the life out of me, meaning that I’ll start forgetting about everything else in the world that needs to be done. You know what I’m saying?”
Jay: (laughs)
Greg: “It’s kind of like, it’s kind of like, you know, when you first discovered stumble upon?”
Jay: “Right.”
Greg: “You know, your productivity plummets.”
Edie: (laughs)
Mike: “With Wikipedia, you just go through it, you click…”
Jay: “I had to write a, I had to write an I.T. prescription this week. It was kind of funny, um, this woman asks me she goes, hey, you know my 12-year-old son he broke his leg on his dirt bike and he started playing this game, World of Warcraft and he’s not really come out of his room except to like use the bathroom and take a shower. And when its dinnertime, it’s like, we like push the food into his room and he pushes the plate out when he’s done.”
Greg: (laughs)
Jay: “What, what do I do about that? And I told the girl I worked with, I said, look, I said, okay 40 hours of straight Counterstrike and you know, try and placing Counterstrike source may be that’ll break him and she goes, what if that doesn’t work? I said, okay three hookers, that’s about the only way, you know, you can tear him away from it.”
(Laughter)
Jay: “And she said, but he’s only 12? I’m like, yeah he’s get it at that age. He’s going to get, you know, interested, you know (laughs). You’ve got to stop this now before it gets too bad.’
Edie: “Just take him out the door and in another six months he’ll notice them.”
Jay: “(laughs) there you go.”
Greg: “(laughs) But yeah it’s, I mean, but what’s interesting about the whole D&D phenomenon is like, you know, my kids are playing that now. You now, it’s, it’s, yeah you know they’re, you know they’re in their teens and I get into the whole role playing thing and, and they’re just, it’s just phenomenal how, how, like, timeless it is, you know. It’s just, you know, when they created this, they really, they really struck a nerve. And you know, it’s, you know, Gygax is ah, leaving ah, you know, a huge legacy ah, for the future. Edie did you, did you ah, have you got a story that you wanted to talk about this week?”
Edie: “No. I’d, actually this is the week I took a hiatus from social networking/bookmarking because I was so, overwhelmed by it and I got really mad at Digg and that’s why…”
Greg: “Why did you get mad at Digg?”
Edie: “Because, I don’t know, Digg is just a pain in the ass ever since they made those changes, you know, you can get 120 diggs and go nowhere and mine was, my final straw was political and everybody will hate the fact that I pushed the Hilary story. But I was, I was, you know, when Hilary won the, um, 3 out of the 4 of the last, primaries, I put that on Digg and I had 60 diggs in like 30 minutes because I have friends and it disappeared completely. It wasn’t in Q, it wasn’t on anywhere, anywhere to be seen. And I was like, how could something that got 60 diggs in 30 minutes be buried that fast. But before that, I did have things that have like 120 diggs and went nowhere. And then I put up to one that was really freaking hilarious, running with the devil, um, soundtrack only (laughs) so all you hear is David Lee Roth - if you listened to it, there’s not lyrics to the song, other than running with the devil the rest of it.’
Greg: “That’s funny, I actually heard that, that video, but I didn’t hear it on Mixx or on Digg ah, I heard it on Howard Stern’s show and they put the music to I Love Rock and Roll against that Van Halen song and it was quite humorous how it sounded so…”
Edie: “(laughs) well if you hear it, with just his vocals, all he is, is going whoo, yeah…”
Greg: “Yeah… yeah I heard that voice.”
Jay: (laughs)
Edie: “It’s hilarious, but I didn’t shout it. And I was like, all right, you know, I’ve been really
Greg: “Well I mean I was hoping about this was someone the other and they were mentioning that maybe Digg should consider changing the algorithm in similar form so that it pushes stories onto the front page ah, a little bit more the quicker frequency than what currently is going.”
Edie: “That’s what needs to happen because right now, you know, they put like a new story up there like once a day. And, and, most people don’t even know a story exists until it’s on the front page. So all these really great stories are not being seen and their algorithm is (censored) off and I just, I’m like I got, I can’t deal with this shit anymore. I got to take a break. And consequently I break from all the sites because I was like, I got shit to do, what the hell am I doing I’m spending all day and all night on freaking social networking/bookmarking sites what’s wrong with me? I’ve turned into a geek. I’ve turned into a Dungeons and Dragons player.”
(Laughter)
Greg: “Well if anyone out there is feeling the same way as Edie is, come over to Mixx because we have beer.”
Jay: “There you go.”
Edie: “(laughs) thank you.”
Jay: “And red wine too.”
Greg: “Yeah and that too. Yeah. Well I’ve got a couple of stories for you guys this week. I’ve got ah, two photos, ah, a serious and a funny one. I’m going to do the funny one first. Um, the funny one is submitted by Hdar3415 ah, it’s called who is the Real Blonde. I can’t describe this photo. I just can’t, you just have to see this for yourself. Ah, I have tagged it with the tag lollipop. And I’m just going to leave it at that. So, do a tag search for lollipop and we’ll have the link to that in the show notes. Ah, the serious one, also submitted by Hdar I just noticed that he submitted this also… Um, is, this got popular on stumble and Digg as well. Ah, rarely seen shuttle free flight activities. And I’ll take this with the final frontier and it’s really, really fascinating. It’s a series of photographs over at darkroastedblend.com that shows a lot of the preparations being made for a shuttle launch. And it’s this kind of stuff that we don’t see. Usually when you see a shuttle launch, you just see it take off and you see it fly into the sky and, you know, “Bob’s your uncle” as we say back home. You know that’s it. You know everyone can go home. This shows you how much work and how much engineering and how much time and effort actually goes into the preparations for, for launch. And it’s just mind boggling, if you look at all that machinery and everything that they use there, it’s just incredible. You know, it makes me want to go into space, just looking at it, it’s incredible so…”
Edie: “I mean you don’t want to do that, to peel over yourself “
Greg: “ it’ll keep me warm.”
Edie: (Laughs)
Jay: “He said _____.”
Edie: “Hdar some good, some better on Digg.”
Greg: “Yeah.”
Edie: “And you said, I’m glad now that he’s on Mixx.”
Greg: “Well on Mixx too, yeah he’s ah…”
Edie: “Yeah, I got to befriend him.”
Greg: “Well you know, he, he submits a lot of great stuff, he really does. And he’s also, um, I think he pops into the Mixxing bowl as well right Jay?”
Jay: “Oh yeah, he comes in and does Friday Fest with us.”
Greg: “Yeah. So, yeah you can definitely check that out.”
Mike: “He’s pretty hardcore”
Greg: “All right, ah, moving on, we move on to our user focus this week. And this week, um, I want to focus on a particular user at Mixx known as Paula B. Um, now a lot of Paula B. over at Mixx and for those of you that don’t know Paula B., she runs ah, ah, well she’s part of a weblog called Lesbiatopia and it is really good. It such a good blog. I mean the post they have there is just absolutely fascinating. Ah, anyway, just to give you a bit of a background behind PaulaB’s involvement with Mixx. She used to submit, um, stories from Lesbiatopia to digg.com and I flagged it, I guess I flagged it as porn or something.
Jay: “Right.”
Greg: “And I banned the domain from any submissions and despite appeals from people involved with the blog and people who were interested in the blog, ah, obviously as this is the trend that’s been happening over Digg they got no response. So ah, you know, they moved over to Mixx and started submitting over there, which is really good. It was a really good move for them because ah, there’s a lot of people that were very interested in the articles over at lesbotopia.com. Um, you know, I’m going to say this about Paula B. she’s very, she has a lot of ah, submissions involved from Lesbiatopia and related to gay and lesbian culture around the world. Ah, but she doesn’t just submit that stuff. She has a wide range of different topics that she brings up and she talks about. And so it’s well worth checking out her submissions. There’s ah, she’s also very I noticed, she’s a very strong advocate of gay rights especially within the confines of the United States, ah, which is cool, um, because there’s too much of ah, you know, hate crimes bigger than bullshit going on around the place. Ah, you know, I just, I love her submissions. I love everything she puts up, you know. What do you guys have to say?”
Jay: “Oh I…”
Edie: “I, I love Paula. I think she’s fabulous. And she’s, she’s
Jay: “Well let me tell you something…”
Edie: “And I think that’s important to have that voice.”
Jay: “What’s really cool, um, Paula’s submissions from Lesbiatopia and from header the wistful rider, um, have you guys read any of the wistful rider blog and all?”
Greg: “Yeah. I have yeah.”
Jay: “Oh my God dude, the one where she was talking about ah, going to the sperm bank to look for sperm donors, oh my God dude I mean it’s just stuff that you would never think that a lesbian goes through. And I mean a lot of it is just downright hilarious. And a lot of it is touching and poignant. But another thing about Paula though, a lot of people don’t know, is Paula is deaf.”
Edie: “Yeah.”
Greg: “Yeah, she can’t, she can’t hear pretty much anything.”
Edie: “And the cool thing is that Paula, like I’ve submitted or somebody submitted a video and she went, or somebody submitted a video of mine or something and she went and got a translator because she couldn’t read the dialect and got a friend to come over and like, you know, sign language the dialogue for her. And then she left a comment saying, “Oh my God my friend did this and this is really funny.” Paula is a queen in my book as far as ah, social networkers go.”
Jay: “Yeah she’s all…”
Greg: “And, and just for people who are curious as well, you know, we are very aware that you know, Paula is deaf and what we’re actually going to do for this particular episode is we’re going to transcribe this section of the podcast, so that it’s going to be in written format, just underneath the podcast on the page so that information is going to be there for her to see as well.”
Mike: “Oh good. Then let me say, Paula hi. It’s very nice to meet you, of course.”
Jay: “(laughs) there you go Mike.”
Greg: “Yeah, it’s, you know, you guys should really check out her submissions. I mean I’m always reading one of her articles over at um, lesbiatopia.com and it was just superb. There was one where she was recounting the story about how she first came out and it’s related to a storm and a tornado that nearly tore off her vehicle, that she was crying (laughs), you know, it’s just, it’s an amazing story and it was, it was really well written. So I’ll say definitely check that out.”
Edie: “And she has a great sense of humor. Um, she put up (laughs) video with a speed dating, lesbian speed dating. Did you guys see that? That was hilarious. That was one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen on the internet. Lesbian speed dating, hilarious.”
Jay: “My favorite ah, submission from her was the bad lesbian hair submission where…”
Edie: “(laughs) I didn’t see that.”
Jay: “Oh basically they made the Mona Lisa look like (censored) KD Lang. (laughter). Oh it was awesome.”
Edie: “I love her.”
Greg: “That’s great, that’s great. So Paula we love you, you rock. Ah, keep up submitting your stuff to Mixx. Ah, we absolutely love it, seriously. And ah, like I said we’ll have all that information posted up in text as well. Ah…”
Edie: “And if I can just interject really quickly at how cool I think that Mixx is a community that they aren’t like, gay-bashing the way Digg does that you know, they’re open to everybody and the community is like
Greg: “Yeah you won’t find any of that discriminatory bullshit going on at Mixx. And if you do, if you do see happen to see happen, it’s best to jump on it straight away. We’ve got an amazing community that will jump on that stuff and we’ll not tolerate it. All right, moving on, ah comments of the week. We’ve got two comments this week. And I actually was very tempted to use this particularly story for my photo selection for the stories of the week (laughter). It was made by crazy Korean and you know, as you guys know, crazy Korean is crazy, dude, that guy submits some of the wildest stuff and pictures that I’ve ever seen and he posted this one picture out from Flicker this week. And it’s, it’s this pink sign, ah, that’s posted on like a power pole or a light pole somewhere in
Mike: “Oh yes yeah.”
Greg: “I love, I love those old cartoons. And ah, he posted and you know it just took me back when I watched it. And then I saw the comments and I just lost it (laughter). And he say, he says, “Ironman, Ironman, does whatever and iron can. Can he shoot repulsor rays? He can shoot it for days and days, look out here comes the Ironman.” (Laughter) You know he’s just a classic with that stuff. Actually, speaking of honest ape, you guys out there, definitely check out Social Mediacrity at The Mixxing Bowl. His latest comic strip is a winner. It’s a, a picture of one of the ghost from Pac man having a nightmare, so definitely check that out. It’s well worth having a look. It’s hysterical.”
Mike: “I wondered if that was influenced by the top 100 MES games at any way.”
Greg: “I’m, I’m not sure, but he mentioned to me that he’s got a few more of those Pac man theme comics on the way. So it should be interesting. All right, let’s jump into the Mixx lounge, have a look at some of the stuff going on in there. I noticed that Jason Garber from Mixx is listed under the Mixx words as hyperactive. I’m guessing that must mean that he is overly excited to be at south by southwest this week. You lucky bastard, you. I’m telling you… Oh I would love to be. Would you like to check that out? That would be so awesome.”
Edie: “Yeah.”
Mike: “The videos are coming in now and they’re just ah, I’m envious, you know.”
Greg: “Yeah. So yeah, he’s obviously enjoying himself. Zaibatsu’s got the top 10 award in the thought leader. So it’s good to see him being involved ah…”
Edie: “Zaibutsu?”
Greg: “Yeah.”
Mike: “Yeah, he started following at Mixx, yeah.”
Greg: “Yeah. He actually posted ah, a story called the future of Digg what if Microsoft owned digg.com? And I’m sure this got posted to Digg as well, I’m not sure if it got buried or hit the front page or not. But ah, the story that he posted is actually quite humorous so you check it out and it’s listed in the favorites as well. Um, so, yeah, there’s a whole bunch of people. Some of the usual faces in the ah, top Mixxers in the last 24 hours like Syxle, Yoda, Fat Lester, our very own Silent Jay and Populous is back. I’ve been seeing him in the land for a little while and he’s, creeping closer to the 5000 mark which is really cool.”
Jay: “Dude, I just, I just got a wake up call.”
Greg: “What’s that?”
Jay: “H-dar is kicking my ass in karma dude. Look at that.”
Greg: “You need to pick up a bit man.”
Edie: “What’s his karma and what’s yours? You’re like over 20, right Greg?”
Jay: “Yeah Greg 12 or 14, yup. I’m at 14 to 41 and Hdar’s at 17598.”
Greg: “Better watch out there Hdar, you know.”
Edie: “Better watch out.”
Greg: “Sergeant Fowler is about to submit the whole internet to Mixx (laughter). So watch out. Well that’s all we got time for this week for Social Blend and you know like always, I appreciate you guys ah, coming out to listen to the podcast. Ah, first and foremost our thanks to Edie and Mike for joining us, thank you guys we appreciate it.”
Mike: “Well, thank you. Thank you”
Edie: “Yeah it was fun.”
Greg: “And, you know, hopefully we’ll be out to bring you back on the show again at some stage.”
Mike: “Yeah…”
Greg: “I want to throw out a quick plug of, if you guys don’t mind real quickly. Ah, I launched a couple of new sites this week ah, so if anyone’s got some time and they wouldn’t mind checking it out. The first one’s called wallabydown.com and it’s basically a weird and wonderful look at Australian culture. So if you want to have a look at that, it’s just odd Aussie stuff. So you know.”
Mike: “Actually I saw a few submissions on Digg already.”
Greg: “Really? I know there was one, mate, I didn’t know there was a few.”
Mike: “At least one, yeah.”
Greg: “Yeah. And the other one is dayofthejedi.com. So check that out. Ah…”
Mike: “Oh that’s yours?”
Greg: “Yeah.”
Mike: “I just saw that10 minutes before I saw you, and I thought, I thought to myself the design does look like your original works like the trucking one.”
Greg: “Yeah, the-trukstop.com, yeah. Well I tried to do with wallaby down and dayofthejedi was give them kind of like unique color thing and feel, but I wanted them to visually and structurally anyway, have like a visual connection to the-TrukstoP because they’re kind of under that and related to it. So you know…”
Mike: “Yeah, of course your stuff.”
Greg: “So I’m keeping in that style. Um, so anyway if you do have some time I would appreciate it if you check it out.”
Jay: “Hey, speaking of Day of the Jedi, everybody keep on the lookout, Day of the Jedi is bearing down upon us, shortly and ah, there will be some Day of the Jedi videos posted on my YouTube account and over at dayofthejedi.com.”
Greg: “May 25 dress up in your Jedi robes and start attacking people with fake Lightsabers.”
Jay: “Amen.”
Edie: (laughs)
Greg: “Ah, okay so, go ahead.”
Mike: “I’m sorry, I, I, was just going to promote may be something of my, if that’s all right. I just recently did a guest blog post for nowsourcing blog, you all know nowsourcing.com.”
Greg: “Yes, yes Brian. I didn’t see that.”
Mike: “Yeah, yeah, Brian is a great guy. He says hello too as well by the way. And ah, you know, he can always see me on twitter or mixx or anything, mikeontv the username and then mikeontv.com always.”
Greg: “Mike that story, I did read that story over it now, so it was at nowsourcing.com?”
Mike: “It was nowsourcing that’s right yeah.”
Greg: “Um, I did read that story and it, it raised an interesting point about people who hover over at delicious, what the hell are they going to be called, you know? (Laughs)”
Mike: “Right. Basically the whole idea of the post is um, well if you dig a story, it’s dug, and if you Mixx then you Mixxed it. But how do you describe what you’re doing at delicious? So you ah, is it, are you licking it? Are you, is it delicioused, are beaeatenmarked to save? So ah, and they ended the post, we have a little poll there and everybody said what they’re doing. And it’s ah, it’s up and down.”
Edie: “What’s winning Mike? What’s winning?”
Mike: “Ah, I think licked is winning right now. So if you, you know, I licked it, um, but ah, beeatenmarked is also very popular I know. So ah, you know, it’s up in the air. So the title of the blog post is a You Say to Me, I’d Say Delicious and ah…”
Edie: “Love it.”
Greg: “It’s cool. Hey, Edie where can we catch you online?”
Edie: “I’m tomboys pretty much everywhere. On Skype I’m tomboys too. And on G-mail I’m tomboy Edie, but everywhere else I’m kind of everywhere, but, I’m also obviously, well not obviously, but I have all females gets comedy troupe and we have two websites tomboystv.com and our stage website tomboysinfishnets.com. But you can reach me everywhere.”
Greg: “And of course Jay where can we find you, mate?”
