Hello everyone and welcome to Binary Revolution Radio episode 52
This is the one year anniversary special
We have been on the air on Rant Radio, on DDP Hack Radio
Downloadable for MP3
52 episodes, 52 consecutive weeks
And I hope that you've been listening to all of those
Even if you're a new listener
You're more than welcome to go back and listen to some of the old episodes
Hopefully they'll stand up pretty well
And I'd like to take this opportunity right off the top of the show
To thank all of the guests and co-hosts that we've had on the show
We've had some pretty, pretty intelligent
Downright brilliant people on the show over this past year
And hopefully continue that in the future
So personally I want to thank everyone
Even though, yeah, I'm on here every week
Trying to kind of emcee the whole thing
But it's really, you know, the co-hosts that are bringing all the knowledge
And all the information to the show
So, you know, sincerely
Without them, this show wouldn't be what it is
So I open up with a nice thank you to them
And that will act as a transition now
To kind of a tradition that
RFA, kind of started over there on RFA
We'd always have some outtakes
See, when we start the show
We always do sound checks
Make sure everybody can be heard clearly
Or try to anyway
And we do some outtakes
Do some sound checks
And usually some funny stuff happens
And occasionally we save some of it
So we're going to jump into a few outtakes to open the show
And this is just an amalgam of all the different guests and co-hosts
And see if you can recognize the voices
And see if you can recognize what episodes they came from
But some pretty funny outtakes
And some funny moments that ended up on the cutting room floor
From different parts of the show
Or again, outtakes, doing sound checks
Stuff like that
So I'm going to play a few of these back to back
So enjoy them
Have a laugh
Some of them at my expense
Some of them at others
But take a listen
And hopefully you'll find these as funny as I did
What we've got here in Texas
Is called Allsups
Allsups?
Allsup
A-L-L-S-U-P
Okay
Have you ever come in contact with one of those?
Never heard of it
Okay, well never mind
That's it?
I don't get the story now?
Well they've got the world's best
World's best burritos
Like deep fried beef and bean
In quotation marks
Heartburn
Burritos, right?
Wait, which part was in quotation marks?
The beef?
If the beef's in quotation marks
I'll pass
Yeah
They're open 24 hours
And don't have a dumpster
Go figure
Yeah, figure that one out
But yeah, seriously
They've got the world's greatest
Deep fried burritos
And they're open 24 hours
Wow
For all your deep fried burrito needs
Yeah, and
I was there last night
Well, I guess technically this morning
It was about 3.30
Picking me up a couple of chimichangas
So
I say that to say this
That's pretty much going to be my destiny
When we're done recording
I was going to say
If you have to vanish
For a few minutes during recording
This will explain it to the listeners
Why
I'll insert this in or something
Yeah, they
Wicked hankering for some
Deep fried burrito action
So he went to go
Get in on that
You know
Those
I don't know
Again, I don't know
Those particular chain names
But man
Those late late
All night
24 hour truck stops
They make some
Hella good food, man
Yeah
Yeah, they do
They make some good
That's the only place
You can actually get
Like real
Old home style food
Because like
You got real
Old home style people there, man
They cook in this
Old fashioned way
More fat
More grease
More lard
Deep fried
Scattered, smothered
And covered
Exactly, baby
You don't
Take none of that
What is it
Atkins crap down there
You won't find
Noah Heidner hair of that
You got deep fried
Double dip pork rinds
Yep
That's good stuff, man
I love it
Wait, hold on
You don't think Janet Jackson's hot
Dude, I had a fucking girlfriend
I was dating
Forced me to go to a damn
Janet Jackson concert
I'm not talking about a concert
I'm talking about
Janet Jackson for her age
Being one fine woman
What's up with this qualifier stuff?
For her age
You're hot or you're not
Oh, she's hot
She's hot like Michael Jackson
No
He grows the scruff
So he doesn't look like her
No, no, no, no
Michael Jackson wants to look like
What's a chick
I don't know
Was it Gladys Knight?
Who's his idol?
Diane Ross
Yeah, he's trying to look like a woman
He's trying to look like Diana Ross
Yeah, he's messed up in the head
You're crazy
Janet is fine
She's always been fine
Dude, Janet Jackson
In the Black Cat video
Or the Rhythm Nation video
Dude, are you crazy?
What?
What are you talking about?
I have no idea what you're talking about
No, you don't know anything about music
Rhythm
Planet
What?
Rhythm Nation
We are a part of the Rhythm Nation
Okay, alright
Oh my god
This phone call is degraded
I
Dude, I am so
I'm not recording this, by the way
I was gonna say
I'm so glad I'm the one recording
So I can delete these things
Damn
I wish I had
If you were recording
If I knew you were recording it
I wouldn't have tried singing
Oh
Dang dog
And someone else
Dang dog
And some guests
So anyway
Let's see
That's gonna sound
Okay, so alright
So check this out
So what is up
With you
Stepping and
Sticking your grubby fingers
All in my cookie pie
Uh
What was up with that, man?
That was my first cookie pie ever
And you snapped my cookie pie in half
Well, I wanted some cookie too
Well, we all want some cookie
That was my
See, I always get just the cookies
That was my first cookie pie
Really?
Yes
That was
Man, I was gonna lose my cookie pie virginity to that
I've had
And you went and fingered up the cookie pie
Before I could get my taste
Yeah, well there's gonna be lots more opportunities for you
With your little cookie
Person
I thought you were gonna say cookie hoe
But that's
Yeah, I wanted to be a little more politically correct
Yeah
We're supposed to watch our language, right?
Uh, yeah, but you know
I'm not that strict anymore
I have
Uh
One of our regular co-hosts on the show
Uh
The bland inquizzle nizzle himself
Bland inquisitor in the house
Woot, woot
Woot
Poon
Anyway
Coincidentally
Um
My birthday is Thursday
The 27th
No joke?
Yeah, so this is like my
The 27th annual
Bland inquisitor
Celebration of
Dropping out of the
Poonane
Oh, yeah
So to celebrate
You went out and got some deep fried
Takitos
Yes, I did
I'm
Actually
Right as soon as I hang up with you
I'm gonna go and
Get me two or three
Deep fried chimichangas
Well, if you have to leave
At any point during the show
We know that
You know, there's gonna be
See, here's the problem with the chimichangas
Boy, we're gonna start the show off
In a hole
And work our way out
I've got
I've got a gift
I've got a knack
The food is always so good
See, there's nothing better
Than a clean pinch
But when you're having tacos
When you're having deep fried
This
This Mexican food
That you're gonna have
Oh, yeah
Dude, you're gonna run screaming
You're gonna have a bad case
Of the screaming memes
I mean, you're gonna be wiping
All night, dude
In Texas
Texas we have blue bell ice cream
I don't know if they export it
To other parts
Hey, we got blue bell
Okay
What, do you rub that on your brown eye
To cool it off?
No, man
No, you eat that
After you eat the chimichangas
Right?
They don't naturalize each other
Yeah, they do
You eat the chimichangas
And then you eat the ice cream
And then when you're shitting out
You know, liquid hot magma
From the chimichangas
You're like, come on, ice cream
Come on, ice cream
And then it hits
And all is right with the world
Is that like big bucks?
No whammies?
Stop!
Yep
Bugs, no whammies
Whoop!
Jalapeno!
Oh, God
Alright, man
You realize we can't start with this
Then you look like that weightlifter and shit
Oh, no!
No, you evil bastard
No, you did not go there
Every time I'm on the show, man
I gotta throw the weightlifter in
It's just my thing
It's what I do
Oh, you're killing me
Alright, I'm stopping
And that's
No, you gotta stop
You there?
What are you yesin' about?
The link said
Come in her face
So it's this
Saggy boob
Girl
Suckin' on a can of beans
What in the hell
Are you talking about?
This dude's
Dong is
Frickin'
It's four inches long
It's four inches around
What?
Dude, it's like a fucking cube then
That's what I said
It's a fucking can of beans, dude
It's a fucking can of chili
Yeah, well
I hate to be on the receiving end of that one
Fucking A, dude
That's like fucking Roto-Rooter, man
That's like a toilet snake or something
Oh man, you're killing me
I have to put this on the outtakes too now
Damn you
And I didn't even get to do a good sound check out of it
Let me see
All right
Now are you going to be coughing through the whole show?
I'll move it
So you won't hear it
Yeah, turn your head and cough
I'll do it
That was a little
That was a little dirty pervert joke
Like
Want some candy, Wintermute?
Oh, that's sick
Come on in my car
And you can have all the candy you want
And video games too
Oh
Just don't tell Mommy and Daddy
Oh, that's wrong
Yeah, well, fuck you too
Whoa
Easy there, killer
Or as close to perfect as we can possibly get, I guess
Close enough for round hair, huh?
Good enough for town to size
Good enough for government work
How does a civil servant wink?
He opens one eye
That would be me
I guess I ought to also mic check my
Getting angry and yelling voice
But I don't think I have any angry topics tonight
I think I'm pretty in control tonight
It's that calming Zen influence I have, huh?
It's that
The fact that I don't have anything about the RIAA today
Maybe it's just the ambience of having this 200-year-old Buddha head that I have in my office
Hmm, well
I'm not exactly sure where to go with that joke
I'm staring right at it
It's actually a really nice piece of Buddha on eBay for like 50 bucks
I guess Buddha head is the best kind of head
Huh, you know that Buddha, of course, is slang for marijuana, right?
Oh, yeah
Okay
Just checking
Well, I don't know how traffic is up there in the morning or in the afternoon
But down here, it can be a real pain
Yeah, it is
Where I work
Because where I work is pretty much a high-profile area
Right
On the beach
Aventure
I don't know if that rings a bell to you
I've heard it, but I don't know, you know
Like, money makers live over there, so
And people are out in the street all day long
Especially around 4.30
When everybody else is trying to get home
Right
Rich people just
Driving around for no apparent reason on the phone
That's nothing else to do but from go store to store every day
Rich people just
Walking around, lollygagging in the streets
Just throwing away money
Must be nice
Rich people piss me off
You here?
I'm here
The party don't stop till the panties drop
All right
Well, let me do another sound check here
While you're, um
Looking at your ViewSonic monitor
So you're very happy with it, huh?
Oh, dude, I love it
I just looked it up before I called you
And it's just
I
It's awesome
I'm probably going to buy another one
Have you given it the prawn test?
I didn't know there was such thing
Does that mean splash it with
Okay
And see if it works?
Well, I meant
Had you actually, you know
Brought up some porn on it
To make sure you could check it all out
Make sure everything was clear and visible
Plump prompts.com
Make sure it didn't have any V-chip
You know, and it blurred out all the good stuff
All right, let's
All right
You are listening to
I'm the show saying all right again
Damn you
Damn it, now I've got to stop
Oh, yeah
How about American Idol?
You've been checking it out?
Yeah, no
No
You're missing out, dude
The Asian engineer guy
Doing
God, I don't even know the name of the artist he did
That was pretty funny
Oh, he was doing
Shebang
He was doing Ricky Martin
Oh, he was great
I actually saw that
I liked him
Yeah, he was cool
I would hang out with that cat, dude
I would buy his album
I would totally hang out with that cat
Yeah
He was
Because you know what was cool about him?
Dude was
Dude was mad pimping
Because he went in
He did his thing, right?
And then he's like
I've got no professional training, right?
He just laid
You know what?
And then the cool thing about him
What makes him cool
He walked right out
Slapped that backpack on
With the fucking slide rule
And a calculator
And a fucking laptop system
And all this fucking equipment
And this engineering shit
And walked right out the door
And went right on with life
It didn't faze him, dude
He was cool
Yeah, straight up
That dude rocked
Props to bro
Yeah, as opposed to like
Some of those other ones
Yeah
Anyway
That chicks, they suck
Well, if we're lucky
Hold on, alright, hold on
My feet are on
And a gold chain
And I'll be set
Alright, anyway
So you're gonna string strawberry
You want me to drop a beat for you?
No, that's alright
Come on, man
I haven't listened to that fucking album
In like 50 years
Come on, man
I'm waiting for you
What the hell do you want me to say?
That's the beat, man
That's the beat
Strawberry
Oh, the words?
Oh, the words
It's strawberry
Yeah
So was that that protein drink
Coming back up?
Is that what that was?
Yeah, or whatever we ate
Before I took my nap
Hold on one second
I'm going to get some water
Okay
Old man taking a nap
Beep
Alright, so
We're doing a sound check
Bland is on the phone
Yo, yo
What's up, everybody?
Good evening, America
As it were
Now, we don't limit it
Just to America
We have listeners
From all over the world
Yeah, good evening
To everybody
And everyone
Who has
Better telephone service
Than I do right now
Join the club
I'm too cheap
Actually, to be fair
To give equal time
You have to say hello
To every single country
In their native language
So why don't you
Go ahead and start now
United States, Canada
Mexico, Panama
Haiti, Jamaica
Peru
Paraguay, Uruguay
Saudi Arabia
England
El Salvador 2
And I don't know the rest of the phone
I was going to say
I can't remember the rest of you
That's as far as I got
Yeah
How about the state capitals?
Do you remember that one?
No, I've got the MP3s though
Oh yeah, that's good stuff
I bought
Dude, I have the CD
Nice
I kid you not
I bought the CD
Hey, we'll save
We'll save that
For the outtake show
And let's see if anybody
Has any fucking clue
What we're referring to
Sweet
Beep
Now, we're going to be
Talking about Google tonight
You all read up
And done all your research
And everything
Oh, I just fake it
Well, that's what we do every week
I'm going to be in a direction
You don't talk about anything
Yeah, one day
They're going to be on to us though
Beep
There we go
It helps if I turn the mic on
Now, let's do a sound check
You there?
I'm here
What kind of moron
Does a sound check
And doesn't turn the mic on?
Beep
Uh-huh
I spent all this time
Writing up nice notes for the show
Uh-huh
And you don't appreciate them
You don't respect them
You don't love my notes at all
Of course I do stink
No, you're just saying that
There, there, stink
Are you recording?
Yeah
I knew it
All right, one last sound check
One, two, one, two
On the phone decoder
In the house
Reading the show novels
You there?
Yeah, this is a fucking short story here
Long story about this show
Yeah, this isn't
This isn't
Default radio
Fly by the seat of your pants
Bullshit
You should just fucking release
The show notes as a text file
And say forget the fucking show
And just let
And write text to speech
Have it read it out
You don't know what they're doing
Just let her read the whole show
For an hour
We should do that as a joke one day
Like for episode 50 or something
Episode 100
If we ever get that far
And just have the
Have it all read to them
Be a lot easier
Save time
Beep
All right
I'm a princess
All right
Why are you a princess?
I don't know
Just come back on the phone
And just announce that?
Yeah
Am I supposed to be the prince?
Is this like some kind of
Role playing fetish thing you're into?
Are you dressed up in a furry costume?
Oh, no
Dude, are you dressed up
In a school girl outfit
Or something right now?
You like going to Otacon or something?
Otacon
Beep
Yeah, and then
You could get just like
Enough out of it
To be, you know
Without the whole
Because there's like
Three or four bars
Just, you know
Before the thing starts going
And, you know
They don't care about
The whole spark plug
And his wife was twice his size
And all the other stuff
But, you know
You could get just like
A sentence or so before
Where they repeat the hook
Barney, Barney Google
With the googly eyes
How's it go again?
Want me to sing it again?
I got you recorded
That's going to be on the outtakes
You know
Barney, Barney Google
With the googly googly eyes
Yeah, except you don't quite
Have that harmony
That the barbershop quartet did
Beep
I'm about to get my balls on
Yeah, okay
Thanks for letting me record that
Yeah, okay
Let me clarify that a little
I'm about to drink
A drink
Called balls
Beep
A little mic check
A little sound check here
I say there, Lucky
We're doing a sound check
It would help if you made
A little fucking sound
Check one, two
Yeah, how about you use
A normal voice
Alright, sorry about that
I know you want to sound
Like a big boy
Like all the other kids
But
When I say jump
You say yes sir
How loud
Let me see how loud that is
Beep
Finally
The rock has come back
To Miami
To that
He sends my shop
To sniff the answer
I'm a panty
You know the thing is
He's going to be like
Macho man Randy Savage
Age 65
And he is going to be
Touring at the Haitian swap shop
With the circus
He's going to be in a ring
With like 14 fans
That don't even speak English
And he's going to be in the ring
Screaming out
Lonesome
You're the mummified elephant's nutsack
Oh yeah
Oh man
Yes, we definitely have to have you
On the show more often
I try the lower property value
As often as humanly possible
I don't think we're a minute
Into the show
And I'm already crying laughing
Well I'm a
He's tattooed white trash now
So it's okay
Yeah, well, you know
We smell our own
And I smell Haitian
And I smell Haitian panties
Dude, you're killing me
Okay, I'm back with you
Alright, what do you get
When you cross Lee Iacocco
With Dracula?
Uh, I don't know
Autoexec.net
Oh, that's the worst computer joke
I've ever heard in my life
Yeah, but it's topical for Halloween
Oh, that's horrible
That's not topical for
That was topical 20 years ago
That's not topical for a bad joke convention
That's great
That's a great geek joke, man
Uh, if you say so
Alright
It's gonna take you like an hour
To read the show notes anyway
Mr. Hooked on Phonics
I gotta, I gotta mouth them
While I read
Yeah
Uh
In rep radio
Episode 31
Notes
Dot text
Well now see
It's a lot of overkill
But it keeps my format going
It keeps me, you know
Going section to section
You know
Let's see
Organizational skills
Just because you don't bother
Writing show notes
Mr. Perfection
I can just
Wing it off the top of my head
For an hour
The voice of Hacker Radio
Dual parallel
Show notes
We don't need no stinking show notes
Going out on top, baby
Just like Jordan should have done
I'm going out on top
Um
Like Larry Bird, baby
From the Association
I would take
Michael Jordan over Larry Bird
Oh, you gotta be kidding me
Ten times out of ten
Larry Bird is the baddest
White man says
He went out on top
Like Jordan should have done
But there is only one
Michael
There's
Bird any day
I don't know
I guess we'll never know
I guess not
Wasn't there like a
Jordan vs. Bird
Uh
Video game on the Super Nintendo
Yeah, I think there was
Yeah, that's cool
Beep
You can ask the coder
On several occasions
He'd call up a number
On three-way
And I'd be laughing
About something
And it would just like
You know, it would be one of the
It would be a number
That like, you know
You have to press an option
And like
The option would just go away
Because of my voice
It's because you laugh
Like a girl
It's because you're like
A whole octave above
Everyone else
You got that whole
Soprano thing going on
Yeah, I should be a Soprano
Yeah
I should be
You talking to me?
Me redboxing with my voice?

I suck at this.
I'm going to get the cord to one of these days.
Anyway.
Go the fuck away, bro, later.
What?
Later.
You could have hung up on me a long time ago.
Oh, like this?
Shut up.
Did you hang up on him?
You douchebag.
I don't.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
Okay, so there you go.
There's a few outtakes for over the past year of the different guests that we've had over
that time frame, and hopefully we'll have many more to come.
Actually, as I was putting that together, I was literally in tears laughing, remembering
some of that stuff that we went through.
So fun to go back and listen to this stuff again, and so fun to do the show every week.
Anyway.
Now, we also have a little bit of excitement that sometimes we record, sometimes we don't
relate it to the show and not some drama here and there.
And here is one of them that happened fairly recently.
I called Duel and had him on the line to relay the story to him, and luckily for you,
the listener, I recorded it.
So check this out.
Let me turn the mic on first.
Okay, you there?
Yeah, I'm here.
Alright, I'm not going to do any soundcheck.
I'm just going to tell you the story because I came home today, and I'm recording this,
by the way, because it totally, completely freaked me out, and I was going to call you
panic mode, and I figured I'd record this so you can make fun of me on the air, or relate
to me one or the other.
But check this out.
I came home today.
I went out after work, shot some hoops, went and played a little outdoor street ball, came
home, right?
Uh-huh.
I'm all sweaty.
I'm all just completely ghettoed out.
I got my jersey on.
I got everything.
You know, I'm sweaty.
I don't have my pockets, so I got my keys sitting in the seat next to me, right?
There's a naked woman at your door.
Yeah, I wish it could be that good of a story.
No, wait until you hear this.
This kind of messed me up, man.
This traumatized me, dude.
This is right there with the halon traumatization.
It's not quite halon traumatization, but it's damn close.
This scared the hell out of me.
I came home.
I pulled up at my mailbox, and I'm digging around.
You know, I'm trying to hurry up and get home.
I grab my keys to the mailbox.
I get out.
I open the mailbox, and there's this big manila envelope in the mailbox.
Usually, I'm expecting stuff.
I get a lot of things delivered, but I haven't ordered anything.
I'm like, what in the hell could this be, right?
So, I pulled up next to the mailbox.
My car's kind of in the middle of the road.
I walk up.
I grab it.
On the way back to the car, I read this manila envelope,
and I almost dropped a load in my pants right there on the spot.
This manila envelope cost $2.90 to mail to me.
It has my real name and address handwritten on the center of it.
Interesting.
It is a thick thing.
It's $2.90, so it's a very thick envelope.
And in the upper left-hand corner, the only other mark on this envelope,
U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation.
You're shitting me in.
Dude, I stopped.
You know the first thing I did?
I stopped and looked.
Looked around, right?
I looked up.
You're damn right.
I looked up and was just like, oh, shit.
Because I didn't know if people were coming out of the fucking bushes.
Hey, bro, I'll be checking your sticks right about then.
What the fuck?
Dude, I'm looking in the tree above me.
I fucking could bungee down on my ass after so, you know.
I'm usually very aware of my surroundings, but being all worn out from basketball
and rushing to get home and just worn out in general, I was looking everywhere.
I didn't see anything, right?
So I looked down at it again.
This came from the local branch, Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Official business.
Penalty for private use, $300.
And it's handwritten to me, my real name and my real address.
Okay.
So, immediately, I'm freaking out.
Then a second later, I'm like, wait a minute.
You didn't do anything, right?
You don't have to worry.
There's nothing to worry about, right?
Right.
But then the paranoia is like, yeah, but they think you did or they could accuse you of
doing it and you have no clue.
Yeah.
But I hang out with Bland.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
That's what Bland's going to bring me down.
All right.
So, long story short, I finally opened it.
I came to the house.
I looked at it.
I didn't know whether to open it.
I checked my house real close.
I made sure nothing was touched.
They could have come in here and grabbed my computers.
Everything seems to be okay.
Yeah.
They owned you, basically, without even doing anything.
They just sent you something.
Here, I'll read you what was inside of this.
These two.
Are you seeking a career that is not only challenging and exciting, but...
Dude, they're trying...
You're kidding me.
Dude, they're trying to recruit me, dude.
Oh, my God.
Are you interested in a career with one of the most respected and sophisticated law enforcement
agencies in the world?
If your answers to these questions are yes, then the FBI may have a place for you.
Fucking shitting me.
How ironic is that?
Oh, my word.
How ironic.
Dude, I was scared to death.
Well, they are listening.
They're listening.
No, that's very cool.
You know, props to the FBI.
Yeah.
Dude, you were just recruited.
I...
No, not recruited.
They are sending...
Basically, they sent me the application package and everything.
Now, did they say, we know it's your dog, blah, blah, blah?
I mean, what happened?
No, they didn't say it.
There's no letter or personalization inside of here.
Okay.
You know?
Well, obviously, you did, or they had something on you.
Obviously, they're interested, too, because...
Right.
This is a pre-printed applicant information booklet, it says.
Son of a bitch.
And that kind of freaked my shit.
Yeah, right.
Well, I'm telling you, it freaked my shit, too.
But for, you know...
Oh, that is brutal.
This is FBI Special Agent Selection Process.
Applicant information booklet.
So...
Oh, and here's the other cool thing about it.
This is just pre-printed stuff that they sent me.
They sent me an envelope, and in the bottom of the envelope, handwritten,
I mean, the address of the FBI on there, the local office of the FBI,
and in the bottom left-hand corner, handwritten is an attention and a person's name.
Really?
And when I opened the actual booklet to look at the qualifications questionnaire, they call it,
the application itself, somebody filled in a couple of these lines already
with some names and stuff like that, because I guess, I don't know,
they get a bonus or something if they find somebody good.
Somebody filled out some of these lines already.
Is this all legit?
Have you got a contact name?
Have you called it and verified it?
Oh, I'm not calling any within the head.
Why not?
How do you know?
Dude.
No, I've got to sit on this for a couple of days.
All right.
I think you should look into it.
I think it would be cool.
Give me the numbers.
Give me the name of the number.
I'll look into it.
All right.
Hold on.
Let me see here.
We are...
As we are talking, by the way, I'm actually supposed to be streaming the show,
so let me get this thing going here.
This is timing.
So you're streaming the show right now?
I'm about to connect.
Are you recording this for the show?
I'm recording this for...
I figured I'd record this because I knew it was funny, and I'll take a joke at my own expense.
I don't mind.
I'll put it on...
We'll put it on the episode 50 clips or something.
It's funny.
Good fucking story.
I mean...
Now...
Okay.
Are you gonna...
Is this going to be part of this show, this stream, or are you gonna...
Oh, no.
It's gonna be...
One of those add-ons for the...
Yeah, I'll put it in episode 50.
Okay.
All right.
Let me connect, and...
And I'll record this shit.
I'll call up, bro, and...
And then I'll just plug in wherever I say your name.
I'll just, you know...
Hey, do you know the StankDawg?
You know?
Yeah, well, I might call him back.
We'll see.
Florida.
Yeah, I might call him back.
We'll see.
I'm gonna stop recording now.
We'll save this for the clip show, and let me get the other show, the real show, started.
But this is the drama that we go through to bring you Binary Revolution Radio every week.
I hope you like it.
Now, yeah, this is the anniversary show, and I've been referring to it as the clip show, but I really didn't want to use a bunch of clips from old shows.
I wanted to do some new clips and things that I hadn't used in the past, some new material.
However, I think there was one moment, probably, that stood out amongst all the others, historically, in our first year on the air.
And that was another traumatic, drama-filled event, and I think it was episode 11 or 13, somewhere in that range.
I think it was 11, and that was the story of the deadly Halon incident.
So that, above all others, I figured might be worth playing again because some people might not have been listening back then.
Some new listeners may have picked up on us recently.
So this is a classic gem that I've just basically cut out of that episode and put in here because, well, it seemed appropriate.
So take a listen to this.
Didn't you have a Halon story, I believe?
Oh, God.
Did I already tell you the Halon story?
I think so.
Did I tell you the Halon?
Oh, God, man, you're gonna...
This is going to be so embarrassing, but...
This is the funniest story that I've ever, ever...
Unfortunately, I'm the butt of the joke, but...
Imagine yourself, again, this was all new to me.
I had never even seen or been in.
It's very intimidating, awe-inspiring to be in this situation.
Well, my job was on third shift.
And, you know, that's awfully late.
So I wasn't always in the best state of mind sometimes.
I would be in there and be, you know, half-passed out, dazed, dozing, you know, falling asleep, nodding my head.
Well, because of the situation with the computer room, and because of the data and the machines being so incredibly valuable, there is a, I guess, fire control system, a safety system in place in case of emergencies, in case one of those sparks gets out of hand.
And it is a halon-based system, which I don't think they even do those anymore.
I think they've gone into something else now, but I'm not sure about that.
But this was, when you first walk in the computer room, there was a sign on the front door that says, warning, deadly halon.
So, like, here I am, this total newbie, walking in for, like, training on the job for the first day.
The first thing I see is, A, that you have to use a combination to get into the room, and, B, this big sign that says, deadly halon, warning.
Once you get inside, they have these two big tanks, they look like a jet pack or something, over on the side, and they have tubes running from them, to, through the ceiling, to different parts of the room, and the tanks, of course, have the big, uh, uh, do not touch symbol, danger, warning, blah, blah, blah, and there's deadly halon signs on each one of the walls.
Very, very intimidating, especially since I didn't know the first friggin' thing about halon, or what it, so they tell, you know, I asked about it, I'm no dummy, I asked about it, and check what's up with that, and they said, you know, if there's a fire, if something happens, the tanks will kick in, the, well, the sensors will go off, the tanks will kick in, and you have, I think it was 20 seconds, it was 10 or 20 seconds, before the halon would come into the room.
Well, this room was, you know, a big bedroom, I guess, if you want to think of it, like, uh, uh, uh, say two bedrooms put together about the size, you could easily get out of it in a second or two.
But when you're in a certain situation, you don't really think clearly, especially when you're half asleep.
So the story goes like this, I'm in there one night, I'm working, I'm half asleep, I got the lights out, I'm kind of dozing, and the tapes that we used to use at the time were 3490 cartridges.
And you'd load about six or seven of them at a time, and, um, basically that would run for an hour before you'd have to reload six or seven more tapes.
So I was in the middle of one of these tape changes.
I go back there to one of the three machines, I'd unload the tapes, um, there were two tape drives next to each other, one for each machine.
So I go in, I have six tapes in my left hand, balancing them against my chest, I have six tapes in my right hand, balancing them against my chest.
All of a sudden, I hear sirens go off in the room.
I am here to tell you that self-preservation is alive and well inside of StankDawg.
These sirens went off, and they were ear-piercing.
I didn't know what they were, I didn't care what they were.
All I know is that before those 12 tapes hit the ground, I was out the back door, full, dead-on run,
and the only thing in my feeble mind was deadly Halon, deadly Halon.
I ran out the back door like O.J. fucking Simpson.
I hit that door like, uh, uh, Eric Dickerson with a shoulder, I spun off the door, flew right out, I never hesitated, didn't miss a step.
Fuck the tapes, fuck the AS400s, fuck the building.
I ain't going out like that.
I am not gonna die like a punk.
I hit that door, and that place could burn to the ground for all I care.
I ran out the back door to the computer room, the emergency door.
I run out, we had two buildings next to each other.
I run full blast to the next building, punch in the combination, because again, this is the middle of the night, everything is locked up.
I run to the building next door.
I call the manager, I call my manager, who again, I'd only been to this, you know, maybe this was within a month this happened, so I was still a complete newbie.
I go in, I had run between buildings, fully out of breath, scared shitless, half asleep.
I get on the phone, I call my manager at home, it's about 3.30, 4 o'clock in the morning.
I'm out of breath on the phone with this guy, and I'm going, computer room, there's a fire, everything, deadly halon, deadly halon, completely in panic mode.
It was, I would give any, any amount of money in the world to have jumped out of my body and watched myself in full panic mode.
I think it's the only time in my life that I've ever been completely, oh my god, I'm gonna die.
I was so scared and so blown away by that incident that, I mean, it traumatized me, dude.
I'm still, to this day, traumatized.
That is the deadly halon incident.
That's the deadly halon story I mentioned to you that time.
I think you saw, I remember my post about my traumatizing incident when all the lights and the power and the entire floor went off.
I'm just sitting in this dark room with this hum, and all these little LEDs staring at me.
It was the most bizarre feeling.
Yeah, it's like, uh, open the pod bay doors, Hal.
It's like the computer took over.
Exactly.
Yeah, the same thing.
What it turned out to be was the, it was just the general fire alarm for the building.
It wasn't anything to do with the halon sensors.
Of course, I don't, I wasn't thinking about that.
I was thinking about getting my ass out.
So, I call him up.
I'm completely in panic mode.
He basically says, oh, oh, that's just the fire alarm for the building.
Don't worry about it.
It goes off all the time.
What do you mean it goes off all the time?
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm fucking about to piss myself running from this shit.
And you're going to tell me, oh, just go in and punch in this code and it goes off.
So, I go in.
I punch the code.
Sure enough, it goes off.
I go back down to the computer room.
I'm still, even though I turned it off, even though I'm still scared shitless.
I punch the code in the door.
I open the door and jump back like Halon's going to come rolling out.
I don't know what Halon looks like.
I don't know what Halon smells like.
I, I didn't know what the hell to expect.
So, I pull the door open and jump back.
Everything seemed okay.
I peer my head in.
Everything was fine.
There's 12 tapes laying scattered on the floor, which I had not labeled yet.
So, they're all out of order.
So, I screwed up the whole backup and had to start over, which sucked.
But, the moral of the story is, I actually was proud to know that self-preservation works.
And then you could run a sub 4 second 40, huh?
Oh, God.
I swear, I don't know how in the world I got out of there so fast.
I, I hit that door with my shoulder and spun.
I was so, I was like, forget it, dude.
I just, I ain't going out like that.
I am not going out.
No, weekend, midnight, third shift, you know.
I'm not going to be a, a, in the paper, deadly Halon victim.
Uh-uh.
That's not, that's not for me.
Oh, God.
I'm actually in tears right now from telling that.
I, that was the funniest thing.
I, I wish somebody would have had a video camera taping me.
I wish somehow I could see myself because I know how I felt.
I know I must have looked like, I have no idea what I must have.
It's 4.30 in the morning.
I'm running out the back door of this building at full run, in full panic mode with alarms going on around me.
It has to be the most comedic scene.
It would make a great scene in a movie, I'm sure.
You know what that's called?
Newbie initiation.
And what a newbie initiation it was.
I would not want to put anyone else through that ever again.
And that brings us to the closing part of episode 52, our one year anniversary.
And I thought who better, who more appropriate to have on the show for our anniversary issue,
but someone who's been through a couple anniversaries, two years on internet radio,
on internet hacking radio himself, but Mr. Dual Parallel.
I'm honored.
And I am just pleased as punch to have you on here.
You've been through this before.
You've got an anniversary thing going on.
You know how this works.
We played a bunch of outtakes and quite a few, actually, that I was saying that had me in tears listening to some of these things.
I'd forgotten about a bunch of them.
Some great stuff on you, by the way.
You can't wait.
It's going to be good.
So, as we close out here, we've got maybe 10 or 15 minutes.
I thought we'd kind of do a little walk down memory lane, if you will, a little reminiscing.
That actually, I mean, actually, it goes back more than a year ago, frankly.
This goes back to RFA.
You know, we used to do RFA a lot.
I was on several episodes of RFA, and, you know, you did this much more than a year.
So, I tell you what, this is kind of, you wanted to do this off-the-cuff impromptu, so here we go.
Do you miss it?
Yes.
You miss doing the show.
So does Bland.
All the work that went into it and all the time that we put into this that people still don't quite understand.
And you know me that I'm very, well, all right, I'll say it.
I'm very anal retentive about doing show notes and having, you know, material pre-planned and stuff like that, organization.
So I put a lot of time into each weekly show, except for this one, of course.
The clip.
It's off.
Well, I hope so.
I hope so.
But at the same time, I still look forward to it.
Even though it's the work, even though it's me every week, I know it's kind of like this running joke of stank and guest or something like that.
But this is like my release and my outlet and my way of getting out and talking to people and hearing from people and doing email and stuff like that.
So I couldn't imagine stopping it right now after one year.
I mean, I kind of sat back and said, it's been one year.
Where, you know, is this what I wanted to do?
Is this where I wanted to be?
And am I done yet?
And I don't think I'm ready to go yet.
I don't think I'm done yet.
No, I don't think you are ready to do this.
The show's got lots of lives.
It's got lots of listeners.
It's a great show.
So, yeah, you'll be around for a while, I hope.
And I'll help you during those stressful times as well.
Oh, there have been some and there will be some.
Yeah.
Actually, you did not hear.
Of course, we're recording this.
You have not heard the previous clips.
But Dool remembers the time I called him panicked thinking the feds were about to put me on the ground.
And I played that clip earlier, too.
So you'll get a good laugh at that.
That was hilarious.
So, yeah, we've been through a lot together.
We really have.
Yeah.
And, you know, let's look back at the past year.
DEP has come through a lot together.
And we've accomplished a lot.
And that's, I like to measure things in terms of accomplishments.
And are we better off now than we were a year ago?
Have we accomplished what we set out to?
Or have we accomplished as much as we could in this past year?
And I kind of was sitting back here reminiscing and thinking of what have we done for the hacking community?
Or what have we tried to do anyway?
And I look back, and we are about to release our third issue of Binary Revolution magazine.
And this has all been done in a period of about one year.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
If you want to, you could quantify what we have contributed to the community.
Absolutely.
And paper that you can hold in your hand and advice that you can get from the web, you can absolutely quantify it.
There have been good and bad things that have happened.
Oh, yeah.
I like to think that everybody is better off for what, you know, for what hard work you've done and you've, you know, coordinated.
You can absolutely quantify it.
Yeah.
And then the third issue is coming out.
And honestly, I like the biannual release.
I think that's very cool.
Yeah, and I think that's basically what it's going to come down to.
Our official stance has now become like frack.
Whenever we get it done, whenever we get enough content to put one out.
And that looks like it's going to be biannually now, twice a year.
Yeah, and you know what, I think it's refreshing.
I think six months is a perfect amount of time to get something out, you know.
And, again, it's not too much pressure, but, you know, enough.
It's not too long as to not have something to look forward to on it.
And, again, to go back to, you know, not putting a capstone on the accomplishments, but, you know, a representation of those accomplishments, I think, will be the release of 2.1 at Hope.
Yeah, and that, I guess, is what's going to happen, too, is I'm just, by the time I get them printed, I'm going to get them almost, it's almost like I'm stopping to pick them up from the printer on the way to the airport.
It's going to be that close with the whole printing and timing of everything.
That's awesome.
It is probably going to debut at Hope.
No, maybe, if I may, maybe this is a question to ask everybody that shares in the show right now, and that is, is the community better off for the things that we all have done?
Not just, you know, the people in DDP or the people at the boards, you know.
You know, is the community better off?
I think that's, I think people should, you know, stop periodically and ask yourself that thing, are we better off?
If not, what can we do to make it better, you know?
So, again, everybody, you know, somebody, start a thread, please, and say, hey, you know, are we better off, you know, given the good and the bad, you know, what is the net, you know, the net result of the community?
You know, is it better off than it was before?
I would say yes.
Yeah, and it's, again, like you're saying, it's what can we do?
What can we, what more can we do for it?
And it's not, this is not an ego thing or a DDP thing.
I mean, we have had people in the community and people on our boards and people that we've met on the phones that have accomplished a lot of cool stuff, have started their own websites, have started their own radio shows.
Radio shows, hell yeah.
Yeah, all over the place.
And you know what?
We've always supported it.
It isn't about me.
It isn't about DDP.
It isn't about, it's about the hacking community.
Right.
You know, and I do think that I get a better feeling now than we do a year ago of people really feeling like a community now.
The elitism, I've seen it start to wane.
I've seen it start to disappear where there's not so many, there's still, of course, it's going to be out there and it still exists in some places.
But for the most part, I've seen people become a lot more friendly, a lot more open and accommodating and, you know, helping new people to the community and teaching new people.
I've really seen that change in the past year.
I honestly believe that.
Yeah, I agree.
And I think, you know, going out and creating radio shows, whoever it is and whatever, I mean, and it doesn't always have to be tech stuff either.
That's the thing.
You know, I like doing tech topics, but, you know, there's radio shows.
There's some funny radio shows out there.
There's some movies and politics and all kinds of great stuff out there that people have started because they, you know, thought that was their way of giving back to the community and giving something and giving what they have to offer.
So, you know, writing articles is great.
Putting out the magazine, Hack TV, you know, that, of course, has come out in the past year.
That, I was very proud to get that out.
That was a lot more work than I expected.
And we, funny, I actually filmed some things earlier today before we recorded this for Hack TV episode two.
Zero DB and I did a little filming and some other things.
And, you know, it's constant and it's ongoing.
So, also factoring in something that I've, I don't know, I won't say harped on, but I've made clear almost several times over the past year and almost every episode it seems like.
Like, we have jobs and we have wives and girlfriends and real lives, but we're still able to try to, you know, give back to the community.
So, I think, bearing that in mind, getting three magazines out biannually, I think that is a heck of an accomplishment.
I'm really proud of that.
And there's no way we couldn't have done it without Logan Five.
I've got to say, thank you, Logan Five.
I cannot, you know, there's no, I can't shout him out enough.
Absolutely just a, just a talented, talented human being.
Dude, we're on his jock.
Yeah, I mean, seriously, come on, man.
How can, how can you not be?
The guy is just talented.
And, you know, he's got, you know, he's got a life and jobs and stuff like that.
So, you know, we're all working together and it's working out, it's coming through, and I'm proud of the results.
I'd rather take time and be proud of it than just throw something out there like other information magazines.
Yeah, we'll, we won't go there.
I'd rather be proud of what we put out, and if that's twice a year or even less, you know, I'd rather be proud of what we put out.
And that's why, you know, I know it gets frustrating waiting for a Hack TV episode to come out.
The next one hopefully will come faster, but, you know, it's whenever we can sit down and make time to do it.
And, you know, I, I really think we're going in the right direction.
But, you know, not only accomplishments from us, there's also been a lot of, a lot of headlines in the past year.
And I like to see, I don't know, maybe, I don't know if you'll agree with me on this, but like, I'll give you a couple points.
I'll point out a couple highlights of the past year, like Microsoft had that big source leak where the bunch of their source code was supposedly spread around.
Half-Life, they had a source leak or actually a source theft.
I guess that's probably the better term for it.
That's a quick arrest.
And that's, you know, what do you expect?
Spam has exploded in the past year, like worse than ever.
It's gotten so bad and exploded so much that finally even Congress and members of our government are finally acknowledging the spam problem that we've been talking about for a long time.
And all these things happening, but I think they're finally, like I said, Congress is taking attention, our government's taking attention, the news is reporting on it being a problem.
I think that positive things are coming out of this negative stuff.
They didn't like the Half-Life source theft.
That wasn't, you know, of course there were some places that said hackers stole the source.
But most places, no, it was thieves.
It was not hackers.
They didn't blame hackers.
I'm wondering, and this is the question, I'm a long way of getting around to this question, do you think the media has changed, the mass media in the past year has changed?
Not, of course, from me or us or anything.
I think I've noticed the mass media being a little bit more hacker-friendly if there is such a thing.
I would say, yes.
Mostly, I consume mostly, I don't want to say alternative because it's not, it is mainstream, but, you know, like I listen to NPR.
I don't watch much TV.
Well, see, getting it from a variety of sources, I know what you're getting at.
Yeah, you know, and I think that, yes, it has gotten better.
I don't, the average person, though, still gets a little, you know, oh, you're a hacker, it's kind of scary and stuff, you know, don't touch my phone, you know, it still exists, that absolutely exists.
Oh, of course, and it always will.
Yeah, yeah.
To a certain extent.
Whatever.
But, I hope that all of our alternative forms of media, like the radio shows we talked about and the magazines, and, you know, giving interviews and, you know, getting the point across of what people believe and why we believe that way, I think it's starting to seep in a little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah.
You know, so, I think that's, I think that's a positive thing and hopefully that will continue.
That's one of those positives we need to.
And, on the positive note, you know, we have a lot of good things that have happened in the past year.
Linux 2.6 kernel has come out within the past year.
It's been a while now.
It's been within the past year since we started the show anyway.
Yeah.
Because I even remember having Hack and Slash on the show to talk about 2.6 kernel.
Also, I noticed, obviously, we have the Hope Conference put on by 2600, Emmanuel Goldstein and that group up in New York.
We have that coming up here in actually a couple weeks.
But, not only that, but there's a lot of hacking conferences, technology, security conferences, whatever, you know, different terminology.
But, I've noticed a lot of them.
You have Interzone.
You have Freaknik.
You have DEFCON.
You have just so many of them.
And, not only in the United States, there's the one in Australia that I can't think of the name of.
There's Germany, I think, had one.
And, yeah.
And, a lot of those have been around for a long time.
Yeah.
But, like, well, Interzone was only its third one.
Right.
You know.
And, they're growing.
You know.
When they first started, of course, it's rough and you've got to get it growing.
And, there was talk about one in Arizona.
I don't know if that's still talk about doing one there.
Slipboat.
It's been around for a long time as well.
Right.
It's working on that.
Right.
So, I'd love to hear some more news.
Actually, you know what?
I might talk to Slip and see if there is any news.
Maybe get him on an episode and talk about that and some other things as well.
You know, there's.
Yeah.
Well, I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Yeah.
And, yeah.
I'll see if I can get him on and talk.
And, he's got a presentation coming up at Hope Conference as well.
Well, yeah.
I wasn't going to bring that up.
I didn't want to stop for train of thought.
But, okay.
Oh, no.
And, you know what?
That's.
Yeah.
I don't know what he's going to.
We don't want to have him present his.
Give his presentation here on the radio and then give it a hope.
So, yeah.
Maybe it's better if we wait after.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
And then, of course, right now the big news is still Google Gmail.
One gigabyte of email storage and how that's going to affect.
And, there's some privacy concerns and stuff along those lines.
Check when right now.
Yeah.
And, I think that privacy has come to the forefront more than ever before as well.
Because, privacy, which is something that's frankly has been.
And, I think I can safely say it's been something that hackers were very concerned with.
And, only.
And, I won't say only hackers.
But, finally, other people are starting to recognize their right to privacy.
Non-hackers.
You know.
And, I think that helps.
Helps the fight.
Helps bring attention to flaws and problems like the U.S. Patriot Act.
USA Patriot Act.
Whatever the hell it's.
Right.
You know.
So, you know, bringing attention to it.
Mass media.
You know, government attention.
Stuff like that.
So, I think it's come a long way in the past year.
And, I think we've come a long way in the past year.
Now, are we going to get corny and set goals for next year?
Do we?
Obviously, we're going to try to continue to put the magazine out.
Well, I was just going to say, we already have goals.
I don't know if they need to be stated over the air.
But, they're absolutely goals.
We can talk about some things that we, you know, we have planned for the near future.
But, to go through what we have planned.
You know.
We have long-term plans, by the way.
Yeah.
It could take a while.
Surprise anybody.
Hopefully, everybody does this as well.
You need, you know.
Don't have to get.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to get corny and make a list, but.
Well, why not?
Here's what I'm saying.
You need to think further out.
You know, I know maybe you're young.
Maybe, you know.
Who cares?
You know, I'll be dead before I'm 30.
You know, guess what?
You'll probably live.
Right?
You're pretty smart.
You'll probably survive.
Right?
So, think further out.
To say that we do not have long-term plans would be misleading.
We do.
But, you also must have, you know, your short-term goals.
But, there are things that we have planned.
And, I don't think we need to go into them now.
You know, we can talk about a few things, I think.
I'd like to talk about HPR if we have to.
Oh, yeah.
Great, great topic.
Great topic.
Go ahead.
Oh, okay.
Well, briefly, HPR is coming along well again.
RFA 100 was going to be, you know, we left in that beautiful, artistic F99, right?
And, we just chopped it off right there.
HPR, sorry.
RFA was going to be open source, AUG, all that.
HPR will be that.
So, I've got Audacity running beautifully now on Linux, making AUGs, and they're sounding great.
I've got, right here, this whole area, let you listen to this.
So, that is my three-channel mixer.
I've got a mixer now.
HPR is looking good.
So, I think the hardware and software is in place.
Bland and I have been talking.
We've been, you know, we have been discussing the show.
He will be on it.
And, it's looking, it's closer and closer every day.
So, again, this is, like you said, you want, yeah, so it takes a little longer, so it's not scheduled.
I want to be proud of it.
That's what HPR is going to be.
Exactly.
And, the fact of the AUG, you know, that's one of the reasons that I, Cy, Pete, and I talked last week about the upgrade and the changes we're making to the radio server.
Which, again, is longer, taking longer, but I want it done right.
But, it naturally works into the simple fact that IceCast supports AUG streaming.
So, you know, we know we have plans and we kind of think this stuff.
We know what's going to happen.
We know we have reasons for the things that we're doing.
And, you know, when we get this scheduling system up and running, you'll be able to put an HPR on and we'll let everybody know when it's going to be, etc.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Obviously, downloadable, of course.
Yes.
It should be good stuff.
And, as long as, you know, speaking of which, you still owe the listeners an episode of RFA, if I'm correct.
Oui.
Yeah, I'm going to call you on that one.
I'm going to bring that up.
Damn.
Yeah, well, Wintermute had a great idea, and that is to record it at Hope.
So, that's the plan.
So, bring your, I got a new laptop.
Hopefully, I can handle it.
Either I'll use mine or you bring yours or somebody.
Maybe he has one we can do.
We're going to record 76 there.
Or, and then rip that down and provide it to everybody.
Probably can't, probably an OGG.
But, yeah, that's what we're going to do.
That should be fun.
Man, it's going to be fun.
Yeah.
That is definitely going to be fun.
And we are going to have to do an episode of Binary Revolution Radio from there, because I'm going to be there for a long time.
I wonder if Flip's going to do the In the Now there as well.
That'd be cool, man, all these live shows.
Of course, Off the Hook's going to be live.
Yeah, I think we're going to do like a recap after.
I think we're going to wait until Monday, after the hangovers have cleared and all that kind of good stuff.
Yeah.
And do kind of a recap of the presentations that we attended and some of the stuff we saw and people we met and things like that, since it would be that Tuesday.
And I will still be in New York, actually.
So, I think that's the way we're going to do BinRev Radio.
Very nice.
I think that's obviously a short-term goal.
And back to what we were saying earlier, we've got the hiccups all of a sudden here on radio.
That's not good.
Oh, it sucks, dude.
I hate hiccups.
You hate them.
Seriously, they piss me off.
Yeah, I know.
Nah, dude, I get bad.
We still don't mind laughing and having fun on the show and drawing attention to our hiccups.
And now try to talk about a serious topic, and that's what you were saying earlier about goals.
Because even our listeners, if I can extend this request, make a goal, even if it's small, even if it's a tiny goal, make a goal for yourself for the next year.
If you're a student, if you're in high school, you're in college, no matter what you're looking at, make a goal that's realistic that you can do.
For example, make a simple goal to try and write one article for, well, for any, for Binary Revolution magazine, for anywhere.
Write one tech-related hacking article.
That, I think, is a realistic goal that anybody, almost anybody in any circumstance, can meet.
I think that's a goal that you can do.
Write an article.
If you have more time than that, maybe start a website.
Maybe make your goal to film a hack TV segment or find an exploit.
Start your own website.
Make some kind of reasonable goal that you want to do.
And not that you've always wanted to do, because I know people have them.
They've just never sat down and said, damn it, I'm going to do it.
Do it this time.
Tell yourself, I'm going to make this happen.
Even if it takes, even if you can only work on it on the weekends.
You know, look what, Hack TV was a weekend project.
You know, Binary Revolution magazine was a weekend project.
Right, and I know where you're going with this, and the end result will be...
When you combine all that stuff together, everybody with more articles, the community as a whole grows, and we have that much more.
So it's individual goals joined together.
Yes, growth and improvement of the community.
And that's really what it's all about.
We've said that from episode one of Binary Revolution Radio and from episode one of Radio Freak America.
And, you know, that's something we've always believed in and always will, because, you know, without the community, without a support system around you, you're, you know, you're sailing alone in the ocean.
That's right.
Boy, tie it all up, bitch.
You do it.
Well, you know what?
I guess we will tie it up.
That was good.
You know, we've got to get sappy and corny, I guess, sometimes.
It's a one-year anniversary.
Yeah.
But, you know, after hearing you and your can of beans comment in the outtakes at the beginning, we've come full circle.
I was just going to tell you congratulations on one year, but, you know, I haven't heard the show yet.
I'll wait.
Maybe you want to wait.
Oh, no, it's all fun.
Congratulations on one year.
I wait for it every week.
I appreciate that.
I'm the one directory surfing, like, you know, after it airs, looking for it.
Yeah, I leave the directory open just for a few.
And, you know, I see there's still people, like, around 30 people a month that are downloading, like, random issue or episode 12 or episode 4.
So people are finding it and going and getting those back episodes.
So that's really cool that we're getting new listeners that are going back.
And if you're a new listener just picking up with the current episode and this is it, next week you'll see what our regular normal format is.
We hope this one made you laugh enough and think enough, hopefully, to say, you know what, I'm going to give this a shot and check it out.
Hopefully you will stick around.
This was one of the funnier episodes you'll have.
All our episodes are funny here and there, but this one was pure comedy for half an hour.
I really was in tears.
And I think one more thing here.
I'm going to close out with one more funny clip.
And this is from our friend Lucky225.
This shows that even someone like me makes a mistake now and then.
So I'm going to play this.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
You'll love this clip.
I don't mind putting these up at my expense.
I'll put this up.
Lucky225.
This basically, this is what happened when I called to check my voicemail one day.
So we're going to close with that.
And then I do not know what the closing news is going to be.
I'm going to play Zerl, Dedication to the Hackers and the Crackers.
This is the full version.
I chopped it to one minute to open the show.
Don't like the long intro.
One full minute to open it and it's me editing it together.
This is the full version.
It's not the remix.
This is the full original version of this song that everybody asks me about,
that I get emailed about regularly.
People email me, what did you open Hack TV with?
It's the same song.
This is Zerl.
Z-E-A-R-L-E.
Go to zerl.com.
And the song is Dedication to the Hackers and the Crackers.
So we thank him once again.
He's worked with us so well and given us permission to use all of his music
and such great stuff that he's written for us.
Up to him, man.
Yeah, absolutely.
So we're going to close with the full uncut version of that after Lucky's recording here.
And if you stick around after our closing music,
you might have an extra special closing by none other than myself and Lucky225,
a tune that we just can't get enough of.
So stick around after our closing theme from Zerl and check it out.
And that is going to do it for our anniversary episode 52 in a row.
Hopefully 52 more in a row.
And Mr. Parallel.
And you know what?
And if I may, I said this at the beginning of the show,
you, Rax, you know what?
Everybody in DDP, everyone that I've had as a guest on the show,
all the people that have sent me emails,
I know this is, it sounds like this is a fake statement,
but I swear to you it's not.
The show would not be what it is without you.
If I didn't get email of people asking questions,
and I look that up and I do the research and I try to give answers.
You want a show topic?
I say, hey, that is a good show topic and I'll try to dedicate a show to it.
You guys are writing this show and you guys don't,
you don't see that sometimes.
You don't believe that sometimes.
Your feedback and emails help form the show
and I'm trying to fulfill what your requests are
and try to make this something that everybody wants and likes.
So please keep giving us the feedback.
Please let us know what you think.
Radio at BinRev.com is the email address.
And once again, Dool, to you personally,
thank you so much for RFA all these years
and for helping with BinRev and everything.
So why don't you close us out?
Why don't you start the closing comment here
that we always end 52 episodes of editing.
Start it this time?
Huh?
I get to start it?
You get to start it this time.
Awesome.
52 episodes in a row where we tell everybody,
We'll see you same hack time.
Same hack channel.
Ha.
Later.
Welcome to the T-Mobile Messaging Center.
Please enter the 10-digit number of the person you are trying to reach.
Yo, you've reached StankDawg's cell phone.

There could only be one reason.
StankDawg left his voicemail on default.
Bad, StankDawg.
