Speaker 1 (00:08):
So I thought you guys talked about it already, but
I watched the special on these data centers in northern Virginia.
There's this one town just outside of Arlington that is
just full of these data centers, and the neighbors are
all complaining because there are power bills of skyrocketed since
they started putting them in, like.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They've gone up four times the normal rate.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And then on top of that, there's these big, massive facilities,
but with like one or two people that work.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
There, and that's it.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Dang, it's kind of a plug and play thing.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I mean, when the whole idea of mining for bitcoin
first started hitting, I remember a story I think sixty
minutes did where is this kid? You know, he was
on the bottom floor of this you know, the of
the the bitcoin thing, buying graphics cards. Yeah, and he
had it like he bought he saw like took a
million dollars out of his uh he had annuity or
(01:01):
something like that, and he rolled the dice on a
bitcoin mining thing and it was no bigger than maybe
a like the couple of studios here, and and they
were showing like how many resources that thing pulled just
to run that small facility, and then you're talking about
places that are like Amazon Warehouse big with uh you
know with uh these data centers crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
There's an energy crunch in our future. There's power crunch,
that's for sure, all right.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Four oh seven nine six four one text us seven
seven zero three one. Welcome back. I'm Jim, deb Jack
and Rosser here as well. Let's do what you do
that's new?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Wow, what did you do that? What did you do that?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
They knew the line?
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I knew.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Closman law k l A U S M A N
lawn dot com offices right there and win to park
four oh seven nine one seven seventeen eighteen car crash
called Cosmo. Will talk to Glenn on Thursday for Colbert
Recording until then. Every single Tuesday, around four o'clock, that's
when some from the show will choose something for the
other members to watch, read or listen to. We will
do that, reconvene on that following Tuesday, and then go
over and rebeat the entire process. This week, it was
(02:09):
Jack's opportunity to offer something, and we'll find out what
Ross has to offer here in one second.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Jackson, Yeah, the week hit at time nicely with the
time of the season, and I think ranking in bass
for those not familiar, I mean, HiT's really more for
people of.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
A certain age.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
If you were a kid in the sixties or seventies,
it's part of your holiday childhood experience, and for those
who grow up to be good parents, it's part.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Of their children's as well.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Because I agree undoubtedly have passed on whether at Santa
Claus is coming to town. Rood off the Red Nose Reindeer,
which was just on TV, you know last Friday night.
Dev said she saw you were out of Santa Claus
over the weekend on free Form. So they did a
series of Christmas specials, most of them that stop motion
and an emotion.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Is what they also call it.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
The but this special kind of delves into all the
different specials that they had holiday specials from the early
nineteen sixties up through the late eighties.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I loved it.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
I loved it because it reminded me of a couple
of specials that I had forgotten, like Jack Frost, right, yeah,
so that one is often yeah, yeah, I still wish
they'd bring back the Little Drummer Boy. I'm insulted that
the most Christian of the ranking and Bass is the
one that seems to be left off of the schedule.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
It's crazy. I didn't know that one part about that.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
You know, they lost the original thirty five millimeter print
to that entire thing. They don't know where it is,
so they had to use like a sixteen millimeter version
and that's what they aired, and it was grainy and darker,
and that's when they're showing it right actually right now.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
And the other thing is that I learned a lot.
I had no idea that Rankin and Bass back in
the sixties and seventies had to pull voice talent from.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Japan, Canada and Japanada.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Because they were still doing radio plays in Canada where
we had stopped doing that. You always take for granted
there'd always be a pool of voice talent, but remembering,
you know, that really wasn't necessary. And then how much
of the animation was handled over in Japan, which actually
made me think of Ross because of his love of anime.
It was interesting to see if any of those artists
(04:17):
had moved over and created some of his favorite pieces.
But it was a walk down memory lane. But I
also learned a lot of new stuff. As well.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Just to clarify, I'm not the biggest anime fan, but
I love Japan.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I just want to throw that out there.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I do respect a good anime, but I would not
consider myself an anime fan because I'm cool.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
So shots fired, of course, you know, going.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Down the lane of you know, seeing how these things
were made, hearing the stories and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
You knew a lot of it because.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I've always been interested in this and how they did
because it was such a big part of my childhood
watching these The thing that I thought was kind of
a you know, that really brought it back for me
was I was actually watching the Antiques.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Road Show really when that guy came on. I was
watching that episode when that happened.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Really, I did not know what was going to happen,
and when I when they can't if I remember right,
they came back from commercial after the first segment, and
that guy that you see was the first.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Guest out of that segment.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
So how they open it up if you've never watched
Antiques Road Show is they usually have a shot of
the professional that does the uh, the critiquing of the
product that you're bringing in or whatever it is. The
professional that knows about them, and then the person who
owns that, and then they go into a discussion of
how they accessed it and then what it's worth. Right
when those two dolls were on that table, I damn
your got emotional.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, like it was a bit.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
It was wild, man, I mean, it was so wild
to see them out of character, out of context.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know, Rudolph just sitting there on some little stand and.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Half of his muscles swacked out, mustache, he's had a
bender in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Thought it was a real Andy's coming moment.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't know that is toy story.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
When they say that, then they all die, Yeah, basically.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But it was just kind of a wild thing because
those pet or those particular puppets, and they're so small.
You know, you don't realize it because they they they're
representing full sized people. When you're watching it as a kid.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Who says miniatures aren't coreat and.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You see the miniature, I mean, the Santa's like maybe
nine inches tall or whatever. And how they just so
flippantly gave that stuff away after the production. That's another
weird thing for me. I don't know about you guys,
like it seems like to me, like on movie sets,
the minute they strike the movie or it's done filming,
that all of that stuff would have like some intrinsic
value to the people who work on it, and a
(06:28):
lot of it doesn't, like these people just made this thing,
and like those are the puppets you used to make
the show.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
They don't have any value anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
And Sally the receptionist gets to take rudolhole and then
you throw them up in the attic after restoration.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Did you hear what it's sold for? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, three hundred and.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Eighty thousand dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Two of those things exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Man, if I'd have gotten my hands on one, I
would have paid for the original one, like when it
was messed up, I would I would have I could
have purchased one. I would have done it. That would
have been crazy to own the Santa six figures for
one not six figures. Remember they didn't pay six figures originally.
Oh right, right, there was only like fifteen hundred dollars
a piece.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Or something like that. I would have easily bought that
Santum for fifteen hundred bucks. Are you kidding? What year
was that?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Fifteen hundred dollars purchasing though.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Sixty Well, I don't know when the antiast road show was,
do you remember.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I think it was in the nineties or no, no, no,
two thousands. But when they you know, they initially got
rid of them. I think they was fifteen hundred bucks
as what they got from something. Yeah, really good show.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And you know, what's really something cool about Ranking in
Bess is that they didn't just do the stop motion,
they did animation as well. Yeah, they did like really
great animation. I'm not saying that Frosty like their most
popular stuff are the Christmas offerings, but like, if you look,
I think they had a hand in the original Hobbit
did yeah, the cartoon Hobbit.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
They also made what was the last show they made
before they shut that studio down was like ThunderCats.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
ThunderCats exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, so they did ThunderCats in the eighties, which is
a big big deal back in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
They had a good run. Yeah they did.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Man, it was a really good little sixteen minutes to
check out.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I loved it.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And but you know, when you're growing up as a kid,
Christmas that magical time of the year, and I know
We've talked about it before, when it was just the
network's watching live you you know, before you had VHSS recorders,
before you could record anything. The only way you saw
it is when this special came on and you would
just be waiting to find out what for that promo,
(08:23):
or you got the TV guy.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's just about to say, look look at the guys.
Look in the TV guide to see when it was
going to air.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And for the younger people who are listening now, back
in the day, there actually used to be a book
that they would print out that you would subscribed to.
They would send your house every week, and in that
book you would rifle through the days and on which
channel It would tell you what's playing win so that
you knew when to watch TV.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, that's how we knew.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
And it would print in the newspaper even yep, like
the daily schedule would be printed in the newspaper.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Oh yeah, But you know the other good thing I
took away from this, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is
older than all of us.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Before. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
It felt pretty good.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
That's in a wild how that entire character came about.
You know, the Montgomery Wards, the guy just goes, oh, look,
create me a children's story with an animal.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
That was the directive to create that. It took to create.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Rudolph the Red News Ranger, which was actually just a
story version of the song.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, exactly. And how crazy was it to see the
name Montgomery Ward again.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's a nuts and I.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Can't wait till Rudolph's Shiny New Year is on.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, and the Frosty was the same thing. It was
the same almost except it was animation, more traditional animation,
same exact thing. It was like, you know, make a
show from this song that became very popular.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
And all the other songs that was the original score today,
so they were one of the first to use big
name voice talent in animated stuff and also the original
scores before that.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It just wasn't you know that prominent? Very cool?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Check that out tip over live dot com. Just go

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Ross. What do you have there?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Is where I don't know if we've ever done this before.
This is kind of odd because I'm not giving you
guys a book I'm not giving you really a video
per se. In fact, it's kind of a choose your
own journey on this one. There's a content creator that
has been dunking on the internet for many years and
this is like smart people content, if you ask me.
(10:18):
He's filled with very fascinating takes a lot of interesting quotes.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
He is an author. His name is Jason K. Pargan.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Once you look him up, you'll be like, I think
I've seen this guy talk in front of a camera before.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
Jason K. Pargan.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Jason K. Pargan. He is an author as well.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
He writes fictional just novels. He doesn't write anything that's
like a self help book or anything.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He just has really fun.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah, I'll see this guy. Yeah, Yeah, I've seen this
guy all the time.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
He's one of Honestly, if this guy is in your feed,
the algorithm is telling you that you are pursuing intelligence
and interesting things.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I would say that guy's probably one of every ten
to twelve or fifteen videos I roll through, and I
watch every single one because they're fascinating.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And man, I'm trying to give them some flowers.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I'm trying to get people to get some different thoughts
in their brain, and he does a phenomenal job. He
is a super uber nerd ye. Yeah, he's not that charismatic,
he's not handsome, he's not that great.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He looks like a dad, like a smart dad.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It's just like a nerd, nerdy dad. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Yeah, but when the thoughts that he's given me have
been mind boggling and having me at the end of
every video go, I have not thought about.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It like that.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, very cool he takes. He has a lot of
really interesting takes on pop culture stuff, movies, music, and
little stories to back up the factoids that he has
that are actually very, very very interesting. That's some of
my favorite content is that dude.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
It is my favorite content, and it's not anything to
do with comedy. It's just very fun, interesting takes that
are reflective about society. I can't wait for you guys
to do kind of a deep dive what I thought
would be cool. I'll give you one video one of
my favorites, and then you guys kind of look at
his feed and then choose whatever two videos you want.

It's great conversation.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Starters, exactly.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
These are great little bits of information to have because
I kind of see where you are in a conversation
when you're talking to somebody, and it's a lot of
different subjects.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It's not just one thing.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
It's not just movies or just music or just this.
It's great, really good choice.

lot of it doesn't, like these people just made this thing,
and like those are the puppets you used to make
the show.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
They don't have any value anymore.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
And Sally the receptionist gets to take rudolhole and then
you throw them up in the attic after restoration.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Did you hear what it's sold for? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, three hundred and.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Eighty thousand dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Two of those things exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Man, if I'd have gotten my hands on one, I
would have paid for the original one, like when it
was messed up, I would I would have I could
have purchased one. I would have done it. That would
have been crazy to own the Santa six figures for
one not six figures. Remember they didn't pay six figures originally.
Oh right, right, there was only like fifteen hundred dollars
a piece.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Or something like that. I would have easily bought that
Santum for fifteen hundred bucks. Are you kidding? What year
was that?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Fifteen hundred dollars purchasing though.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
Sixty Well, I don't know when the antiast road show was,
do you remember.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I think it was in the nineties or no, no, no,
two thousands. But when they you know, they initially got
rid of them. I think they was fifteen hundred bucks
as what they got from something. Yeah, really good show.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And you know, what's really something cool about Ranking in
Bess is that they didn't just do the stop motion,
they did animation as well. Yeah, they did like really
great animation. I'm not saying that Frosty like their most
popular stuff are the Christmas offerings, but like, if you look,
I think they had a hand in the original Hobbit
did yeah, the cartoon Hobbit.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
They also made what was the last show they made
before they shut that studio down was like ThunderCats.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
ThunderCats exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, so they did ThunderCats in the eighties, which is
a big big deal back in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
They had a good run. Yeah they did.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Man, it was a really good little sixteen minutes to
check out.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I loved it.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And but you know, when you're growing up as a kid,
Christmas that magical time of the year, and I know
We've talked about it before, when it was just the
network's watching live you you know, before you had VHSS recorders,
before you could record anything. The only way you saw
it is when this special came on and you would
just be waiting to find out what for that promo,
(08:23):
or you got the TV guy.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
He's just about to say, look look at the guys.
Look in the TV guide to see when it was
going to air.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And for the younger people who are listening now, back
in the day, there actually used to be a book
that they would print out that you would subscribed to.
They would send your house every week, and in that
book you would rifle through the days and on which
channel It would tell you what's playing win so that
you knew when to watch TV.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, that's how we knew.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
And it would print in the newspaper even yep, like
the daily schedule would be printed in the newspaper.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Oh yeah, But you know the other good thing I
took away from this, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is
older than all of us.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Before. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
It felt pretty good.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
That's in a wild how that entire character came about.
You know, the Montgomery Wards, the guy just goes, oh, look,
create me a children's story with an animal.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
That was the directive to create that. It took to create.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Rudolph the Red News Ranger, which was actually just a
story version of the song.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
Yeah, exactly. And how crazy was it to see the
name Montgomery Ward again.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's a nuts and I.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Can't wait till Rudolph's Shiny New Year is on.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah, and the Frosty was the same thing. It was
the same almost except it was animation, more traditional animation,
same exact thing. It was like, you know, make a
show from this song that became very popular.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
And all the other songs that was the original score today,
so they were one of the first to use big
name voice talent in animated stuff and also the original
scores before that.
Speaker 3 (09:45):

the algorithm is telling you that you are pursuing intelligence

to twelve or fifteen videos I roll through, and I
watch every single one because they're fascinating.

in their brain, and he does a phenomenal job. He
is a super uber nerd ye. Yeah, he's not that charismatic,
he's not handsome, he's not that great.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
It's just like a nerd, nerdy dad. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:28):

been mind boggling and having me at the end of
every video go, I have not thought about.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It like that.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, very cool he takes. He has a lot of
really interesting takes on pop culture stuff, movies, music, and
little stories to back up the factoids that he has
that are actually very, very very interesting. That's some of
my favorite content is that dude.
Speaker 6 (11:50):

different subjects.
