"Truth of that. And so many people who are, you know, essentially role model characters from Rosa Parks to karel Scott king to others who we've mentioned. And even if your character is not necessarily obvious hero on the surface or whatever, let's just say akilah and the B it's a story that has something to lift people up, I would say, right? And if people, I just couldn't believe when I finally put it together, years later, that this is Kiki Palmer, the same cute power today, and that you and her and you and Lawrence again. I don't know, I just find it interesting. And I wonder if you feel that holding out for I would always say let me go back to what you said before. I would just, I mean, I think growing up, sing a mom, you know, an aunt who loved me. Growing up in the community, you know, you just walk across the street to school, growing up my great grandfather, reverend slater, Samuel stokes, grandfather, grandmother. You know, I just had a lot of pride, you know? Being in love with history, knowing how difficult times were, are Martin Luther King being shot and you're in second grade. What's going on? Just a lover of history, looking into history, finding moments and people to be inspired by. In the industry, looking, you know, like I said, coming up in black exploitation time, black sport movies and seeing drug addicts and prostitutes and pimps and I enjoy some of the movies. Yeah. And like when you got back at the man, you know, that sort of thing. But you see it's just a business of imagery and pictures and knowing that they last forever. Right. And what do I choose to do? Yeah. And I know you've emphasized because there's an example that people have brought up over the years was months or small, right? That that was one that you declined to play because it wasn't necessarily that kind of the dignity or whatever of the character. But it's not like you begrudge other people who play it. Absolutely do not. And always, and always think that what I can. I can't do everything. And what I can not do someone else, there's sensibilities can do without blinking an eye. And that's great. And when we have enough stories, you know, enough stories from the top to the bottom all kinds of stories. When we tend to have one particular thing, and we got to, you know, maybe it's going to be a more noble character. You know, because of our history in this country, we need to see us see the nobility and the humanity in people who do not look like you. Yeah. And there was a quote of yours at one point where you were saying that it's just because it perfectly leads into the Black Panther films. Basically, I'm trying to find it here, but I can't find it right now, so I'll just paraphrase, but essentially, I'm holding out to play a queen. And here we are now with ramonda and Black Panther and I guess I just wonder when you how it initially came about with the first film, but also when it did, did you have any concept of any suspicion? Any idea of how big a thing this could be. No, I don't. Yeah, I'm not really good with stuff like that. I'm just got my head down. I'm just looking at my script. I'm in love with it. What it will be or, oh, this is going to be huge. No, it could be a huge flop too. You never know. How audiences are going to respond. I thought, of course, oh, this is comic book and of course they have their loyal fanboys and girls. And so that's going to be good for them. But for it to just overflow, overflow to the rest. To the rest where you're four 94, literally. It's unbelievable. I mean, it's not because it's happened, but I mean, just so first one, 2018, obviously massively critically claimed such a huge international blockbuster and then first superhero movie ever nominated for best picture. And then with, I guess it's about within two and a half years, this moment of joy that you saw around the world with people dressing up to go to the movie theater and all of that. Then there's this terrible tragedy. And I wonder, I guess, first of all, were you aware that was anyone aware that was not well? No, no one was none of us. This happens obviously the first thing is everybody. None of us were aware. And, you know, it's interesting before you go take on a big movie. You have to go to the doctor, right? And you have to get this physical, make sure you're okay. This sort of physical. And you have to get for insurance purposes. So I mean, I can't say for sure, but I can imagine if I'm an artist, you know, and I want to work in these great roles are coming, it would behoove me not to. Because they may move on. So that he knew, but you're saying. Yeah, he knew that. But not well, obviously at the end. But what a terrible sad thing. When that happens and obviously first and foremost people shock and grief, but was there sort of with you and your colleagues on the film was there sort of a sense that how can this go forward or was there always we've got to find a way to go forward? It was how can this go forward? You couldn't even think of forward. You couldn't even think of the future just right in the present and just tease

Caller: Donald Trump Is a Lot Like John the Baptist
"Well Todd, I've been thinking about president Trump and had a lot of respect for him and I've been struggling with some of his comments specifically around our Florida governor and I felt like the spirit spoke to me this morning early about 3 o'clock that I see, John, I see Trump as kind of like John the Baptist, you know. He lived in the wilderness. He was all alone. He wore strange clothes, so that was a physical appearance, but Trump's got this thing about him where I compared him to John the Bassett because John the basso's first person that called fake fake news fake news. I mean, he called the pharisees. He opened them up and exposed them for what they really were. And nobody liked him for it. But they appreciated what he did because of the exposed the reality of the spirit world as opposed to the flesh. And now that Trump has been out here in the wilderness and thought all these battles, I find I found myself being critical and I felt I felt corrected because Johnson, what did you go out here to see? Did you go out here to see a Reed tossed about in the wind a weak band? This is a strong man and God used him and I don't believe there's another person, including desantis or anybody else that could have fit that role at that particular time. But

Carl Benjamin AKA Sargon of Akkad Shares His Story
"Little bit about the car Benjamin story. Right. So I come from very humble background. My father was a sergeant in the RAF before he retired. A few years ago. And he had worked his way up from the very bottom because he came from a council estate in the oval. So my mother also came from a council flat in council house in wood and Bassett. So very humble position. I was fortunate enough to do computer science at the university when I was 19. There's a degree, but honestly, I found it really boring, and so I dropped out. And so I spent the next ten or 15 years just working in tech jobs really because that was what I had an aptitude for. Until woke politics came for the things I like. So let's start at that point in time, how would you have described yourself politically? Well, I would have described myself as left wing, actually. Labor Party or that kind of thing. Yeah, I probably would have done, although I have to say I wasn't politically very interested. Because it wasn't terribly interesting at the time to me. But it turned out that. His maxim was it. Pericles maxim, that. See, he's doing it now. He's doing it now. You might not be in a little bow mow carry on pericles, go ahead. You might not be interested in politics, but politics is very interested in you. At the start of my Trotsky, yes, and it was absolutely true, and once I became aware of this was not right. So luckily, I'd always taken a deep interest in history. I just thought I'd always found it fascinating. And so even just in my spare time, I would read history books read the original text of like thucydides or theodora, so whoever. It was just things that I just found interesting. Luckily enough. And

Even though jen was wrong brooks is also an adult who consented to being on the show and poked at gen as well so i have quite a few things to say about that for starters. You know we get both sides. Everyone says we'll brooke should stat of grownups business. And then he's an adult. Which is it. Pick your pick your poison one way or the other. I'm kind of tired of hearing both sides of it at the end of the day the whole thing came about because gen repeatedly showed her vagina in my home after being told by two assistance to cover up all he said was he was uncomfortable and that was it. He shouldn't have felt uncomfortable saying that. He was uncomfortable because she kept doing it after being told. Okay regina away candice boy. You have pissed a lot of people off this everybody. Are you aware. Are you aware i mean. I'm a mess on twitter. Of course aware disaster disaster ever. I had to have a similar con- conversation with miss jane the other day. I'll listen my hero. That things trolls the people know. But but we got this a lot for you. Why is it appropriate to body. Shame women let alone one. The jess gave birth jacqueline. Jay said calling a women. That's breastfeeding and pumping milk made. It's not only an insult to the thousands of women who may have breastfed their babies. For centuries it's an insult to any woman that struggled to get pregnant longs for chance to have that experience with their child today well yes body shaming as a whole is not a good thing it's unhealthy and before. I say that i will say this. Yes what i said if it offended ashley. I apologized for it because it was not meant to ailing. If i offended because i don't know if she was offended okay but because she said that it was offensive. I wanted to make it clear that i was not referring to her postpartum body. I talk about her forehead her face the whole thing body shaming however. However if we're going to pick the pockets of kansas and my body shaming we must be on the table every time anyone on our show in any show has talked about saggy titties has talked about stovepipe legs has talked about flattering vaginas all body shaming but for whatever reason. Kansas is the only one who gets nailed to the cross. Let's work on that. Oh boy that's the apology. Well i apologize actually already matt repeating apology one apology. She got it. You got fascinating jay. What's snow your reaction to jen and lisa's conversation about you in tonight's episode. Is jen right in that. She's always apologizing. And do you think lisa had your back on your back. At least i have my back. I think lisa was trying in the best of her capacity. Given everything going on to make amends between me and jen and that was her her goal and his jen right that she's always apologizing. Jen says she sorry a lot. That's correct the problem with an apology. Is that you need to see the actions. Change along with the words and empty words. Don't do anything okay. Well meredith has dropped jen's friendship like she's whitney holding a birthday cake in a bikini but our good friend. Lisa barlow's still seems to all the candle for jan awkward. I wanna see where meredith and lisa stand today here. We go before. Janet lisa ever put.

Karen brought up giselle six feet under comments about right now when it happened five years ago. Did you have any idea. She was bothered by them. First of all no. I think that it came out of left field. I feel like she just needed something to fuss about. Because you saw me laugh in episode two when she talked about it in her house. Because that's what it sounds ridiculous. And i just she clearly did not mean she did not wish death on ray. Karen told me that her kids were offended by it. And if they were then okay.

"In the essay was to install slack standards switch like an email based culture a lot of loss and lack of context building for even a small firm are forty people or something by switching all of a sudden of course we get much more context in the way you described like there was organizational. Change and for me became clear as it happened and people were skeptical and slowly adopted it but it was a change to how the business communicated and other way think about the question is the most interesting ways in which you saw companies change as a result of adopting this then you could communicate to other companies so that they could participate in that same bassett thinking about it that way. I think the challenge is often been trying to play out a problem that people don't perceive as a problem. Not because it's not a problem because they take for granted more or so used to it that they assume that nothing to be done about it in talking to leaders. It's often whether they use the term or not. It's a question of alignment and that just means that everyone on the team has the same understanding of what's happening where we're at what the objectives are with their respective roles are and when there's a big deviation in people's thinking about this you end up with a lot of ineffective work in the physics sentence being exerted the difference between the best and the worst performing genes can be not just like a very large multiple but often ethic the lowest performing teams have a negative impact on the rest of the organization. It's a real challenge. People think about it all the time but they think about it solely in terms of the kinds of words they can use or what illustrations in the presentation that they're creating or something like that as opposed to. They have to work against the tools that they're using so really highlighting the ways in which email has made it difficult for people to achieve the kind of alignment that they want as in one of the most effective ways. But again it's hard to pointed a problem to someone if it's so taken for granted or Has such deep assumption that this thing can be changed. That people are unaware that they actually have challenge one of the ideas. I really liked that. I was stealing the term from sir. Tablet benchmark is this idea of a core action in software products of some thing that you're gonna ask the customer to do over and over again. It's kind of obvious what that is in slack. Which is post messages and have conversations in these various channels and sometimes directly with other coworkers. I'm really curious. How the concept of design product design and just in general has evolved for you going all the way back to the five k. Contest you could describe what that was sort of the power of constraints or limitations in design. We'll try not to get too deep a rattle here but the most do it. I liked that. I liked the rabbit. Holes okay so in nineteen ninety nine. I started a competition called the five k. Contest at it was the best website or page that you could create in five kilobytes or less. And that's you know from today's perspective. An absurd small amount of data but in the world of mentioned nine where. I don't even know maybe thirty. Five percent of forty percent of us. Households had internet access of any kind and it was ninety five percent plus dial up you really had to respect the constraint of ben with consumption and i think because of the excesses of the era and the fact that the competition actually began in early thousand when the dot com crash started there was a real much greater degree enthusiasm for this would expect because i felt like my community of internet people..

"Will not allow junior players to sign with that lead. You know they they hold onto that rule for quite some time so gretzky. The biggest name in hockey doesn't want to go to college. He doesn't wanna play for the canadian juniors because he's afraid of getting hurt before he can really cash in so agrees to sign with the indianapolis racers with the with bassett's full blessing and then eventually ends up with edmund annapolis collapses during that final year of the ha. When i interviewed wayne gretzky which by the way was an honor of life It was really interesting to to hear how he was. Just so in awe of Johnny bassett and appreciative of how he was helping. Get him into professional hockey and making sure he was set up in a solid situation with a decent owner on in scowl. Bamieh and avoiding the Kit falls of perhaps being on a team that was going to be targeted for a lot of physical recrimination and that was what a lot of the junior player said. That's why that's why. I called one of my chapters in the book. The emancipation of the canadian juniors was this game. The player is a level of freedom they had never had before and it gave them their first introduction to big time hockey but in a much environment than what they were used to and one of my favorite stories that gretzky and also steve erhart reiterated that at one time in Basset was in just a on a business trip. You went to see a minor league hockey game. Which i think at that time would have been the sixty sixers in the tulsa area. All of the players on the bench recognized bassett in the stands and they came in they started banging on. The glass is a tribute to him. You know thanking him for helping them get into hockey and helping them raise their standard of living. So i i do feel like that. There are times where. I'm talking around because there's so many fascinating stories that just come popping into my head That you know people below you know bassett is just a beloved figure in hockey except maybe in nhl headquarters that's interesting and and so it was sort of one of the Many sort of unsung heroes of of the long gone. What which a lot of people kind of don't want to resurrect or certainly nhl doesn't want even remember And that's that speaks volumes but but it also is expressed in other places right so so maybe we can use this opportunity to kind of now. Take a half step back because around the same time or at least a few years. Well sorry that around the toro's year certainly was this other dalliance known as the world football league right and i guess it would seem to me that that fighting head to head against the juggernaut that is And at the time was the maple leafs and the nhl would have been enough to keep a guy busy and then some but but how does this wfl thing come about. Because i'm guessing that this is a toronto franchise playing professional football of the nfl variety or the nfl. American variety shall we say versus. Canadian is there seems to be like an element of challenge and toronto was a market for that too. I guess the question then comes again is why the hell the world football league versus say trying to do something in the nfl or maybe trying to make your mark With the with the ownership of the nfl to to maybe think Take a crack canada. Why this was it. Dennis murphy again. Perhaps well actually. I think it was more gary davidson or the relationship with gary davidson. And all that mix right. It's like okay. Well if if we're doing the house of cards with the w. ha. Hey you're gonna love these deck of cards over here. I don't know what my favorite bassett quote about the. Wfl is if you wanna look at the wfl as a tragedy. It is a hell of a story. And if you wanna look at the. Wfl is a comedy it is still a hell of the story He's operating the the toro's and he's running a relatively successful hockey operation. You know despite not having his own arena he. He's showing that. He has the fiscal and mental reserves. Necessary to handle this endeavor in gary davidson. Has this idea you know. The the has already announced. It's expanding to in states that they really have no plans to expand beyond twenty eight teams. And just like lamar hunt back in the late fifties gary davidson realizes well. There's a lot of cities that want to play professional football. They would love to have professional football. I don't think the market is saturated and he also has this just off the wall idea of i want football teams. Not just in the united states in mexico. And you know we'll put one in osaka will put one in sydney and london. Paris will have a true world. Football league bassett realizing there's really no opportunity in the nfl. To have a team of his own is intri and once again loving toronto he feels well. If this is going to be a world football league let me be your first international location. I will place a team in toronto on. We'll call it the toronto north than which had a really cool polar bear logo. If anybody ever wants to look upon the line and he's going to play at exhibition stadium right on the lakefront with full blessing of his father. Who happens to be one of the co-owners of the toronto argonauts of the cfl so his father and he actually have a good relationship about this. You know his father agrees with him that you know. Canada should be able to support both types of football but the cfl does not agree with that assessment and they decide to petition the pierre trudeau administration for protection because this is also a time where a term that i was unfamiliar with Canadian anti americanism was really growing Throughout the provinces in the nineteen seventies are our pop cultural exports were flying over the forty eighth parallel and landing throughout the nation. And there's a strong contingent canadians who were getting very upset that you know canadian. Children are growing up watching american television american films listening to american music and their equating our culture with their culture and the really bothered by that. It's bad enough. You guys are playing hockey in the united states. But you wanna come up here and now change our style of football. I don't think so. And so the cfl and the trudeau administration.

"Birmingham and they have a very creative marketing strategy. Johnnie bassett and his public relations director. Peter mccaskill start teaching classes at the university of alabama birmingham on rules of hockey and they slowly get people to understand the lingo and at first their they're concerned because when the season opens in october. They're not drawing very well and in november. They're not drawing very well. But then in december attendant starts to take off and they figure out what it is the of alabama crimson tide. Football season is over in. The fans in birmingham truly do want sports year round. It's just that they want alabama football. First and foremost they'll come and they'll watch the bulls play and so over the next three years. Bassett is proving. That hockey is truly an american national sport. It can sell in all four corners of the of the nation. The nhl's not able to sell hockey in atlanta. The flames eventually moved to calgary. And i believe it was nineteen eighty but birmingham the turnstiles in birmingham or continuing to spin around and so i would argue that the tampa bay lightning the carolina hurricanes and the dallas stars. They they owe a debt of gratitude to bassett the national predators. That was the other one. I couldn't remember. They owe a debt of gratitude bassett for proving the deep south really could be a hockey hotbed. You just had to give them a chance and aggressively market and understand what your fan.

"Have cast arrow ballard in that role. He's leading star players. Leave left and right because of contract disputes. He's not putting a lot of money into the team. The maple leafs are just becoming doll and bassett like a lot of fans is growing frustrated and he thinks toronto deserves a better form of hockey. And he's dedicated to bringing it to them. So you've got you've got those two those two duality in bassett that practical romantic that i spoke of earlier. Okay so the table is set though. But there's there's friction there. Between arenas and i i guess it comes back to the question of why toronto because there's also another angle to this right there. The small little issue of of john the for the senior being either interest part of sort of the toronto sports scene mix and the maple leafs sort of squarely in the middle of all that so it almost feels like there's a bit of johnny kind of wanting to challenge. Maybe it's a sort of a subtle jab at adad dad. Well not really a subtle jab at dead by this time And i'm sorry. I apologize to all of your listeners. Who are right now furiously scribbling down which draw this. He means this evening. This john that john. I feel like there's like a a beautiful mind situation going on. Why don't we say johnny. For the the protagonist here and john john senior. Just two so. There's no cash john. Senior by the end of the sixties is out of the maple leafs herald ballard in conn. Smythe ran afoul of the canadian. Equivalent of the irs on there was also some shady dealing where it looks as though Herald ballard was actually embezzling money from maple leaf gardens and i do not remember if he actually had the serve prison time but he was found guilty of the embezzlement but they were still able to retain a lot of influence over the board and when all of the legal ramifications are done in the punishment is is over. Smyth and ballard engage in a proxy war and actually get control of enough shares to force the elder bassett out of the maple leafs. So he's he's not part of the the maple leafs at the time that johnny bassett Goes into the tours. And i did ask the family if they thought that the reason johnny wanted to have a team in toronto was to avenge his father and they pretty much said no. It probably would have been nice. That would probably be a nice side benefit. But that was not the overriding reason. It was more a case of. He just wanted to operate a team in the city that he that he loves when we when we come back and talk later about the world football league that will be an interesting dynamic between him and his father. Okay so but so ballard though does have a long memory right because the bassett rudd was a bit concerning before his His issues and the toronto maple leafs situation. And i guess johnny's arrival as a direct threat slash challenge to not only the maple leafs but the nhl in the form of the toro's the w. a. j. was not lost on him and played out. I guess in in shall we say gumming up the works for johnny to have the toro's play either a maple leaf gardens or the coliseum which was then newly renovated varsity arena was in the mixture. It seems like it was a catch as catch can to get this team domiciled and this is another example of where bassett is always just a few years ahead being great american stadium building. Craze had not quite happened yet Fans of american sports especially football and baseball know that in the seventies and early eighties. There seems to be new stadiums popping up all over the place but that that had not quite occurred in toronto at this time and so when bassett takes possession of the toronto toros. He's looking for a place to play. And this is where a little bit of is naive if he comes in he. He thought that the city of toronto would walk to work with him and help him to get a new arena for his team and he's willing to work within on the c. n. e. coliseum. But they're not really willing to work on him and my one regret is. I never really had a chance to do a lot of digging into government documents to figure out exactly why my guess is just. They felt that public money for a private individuals stadium with something they didn't want to get into He opens instead at varsity arena. Which is the university of toronto's green seats roughly four thousand And they sell out of games during their first season. But they're they're not able to really generate any profit playing marina so small in so hera. Ballard offers bassett the opportunity to play at maple leaf garden in. The team's second sees and a lot of people were stunned by this. I'm sure no doubt bassett was as well in win. The toronto newspapers asked ballard wire you allowing your chief rival to come in and play at maple leaf gardens. He said two things he said simply the arena must pay for itself and so they're just another tenant like anybody else and number two. I don't really view him as a threat because no matter how well his team does. He won't last very long because he can't just play. Intra squad scrimmages who's he was pointing out that teams like chicago and los angeles and The new york teams the philadelphia team in the w. h. j. were all struggling to attract attendance and so his view was the bassett may be a problem. But the w. h. a. isn't really a problem. It will go away in a few years. We'll be fine. And so he charges an exorbitant amount of money for bassett to play in bassett realizing that there is no other suitable ice in toronto for a professional hockey team decides to just keep on attempting to make it work. And what's ironic is that that's the only thing that really keeps the toro's from possibly existing to this day was lack of marina.

Usfl going through all kinds of fits and starts. And if famously. Johnny bassett was sort of the the counterweight at least for as long as he can. Hold it on against the the donald trump era and I guess sort of group of folks that over time became more and more vocal and wanted to sort of move the usfl from a spring league to fall directly competing with the nfl. Johnny bassett was dead set against it.

And johnny didn't necessarily want to immediately or Elegantly shall we say follow in dad's footsteps. He wanted a car of his own path out and the way he wanted to do that was wait for it.

Of course their competition and the wheels of the league Soon to fall off Later in the mid- middle middle part of the season and thereafter. It did limped to a to a. We've talked about many previous episodes. You can look those up on our our website. A good seats still available dot com of course but the memphis south mun an interesting journey just to even get to that opening day game. Johnny bassett originally had envisioned that team his first ever major pro sports effort as the toronto north men of this world football league as it was being put together by people like gary davidson and his pals and we get into some of that conversation in our conversation. Some of this specific facts that led to the team before even getting a toronto off. The ground moved to memphis for a number of reasons. Which will will delve into. But that's just a fascinating Beginnings of the journey of pro sports. Maverick nece if you will of johnny bassett who later went on to maybe not later concurrently to get involved in the world hockey association as well and yes of course there's some linkage there because Folks like our old pal. Dennis murphy and gary davidson and others were certainly part of that extravaganzas. Well we get into the story with dennis. In our conversation johnny bassett Bought the ottawa nationals Of the then fledgling. Whm move him to toronto his hometown to create the direct challenger. I guess to the toronto maple leafs at the time. The toronto toros after a couple of years. They're moving them to birmingham alabama all places where they became The birmingham bolts and fascinating stories. There as all part of that to you know sort of breaking into the south deep south and bring in pro hockey the top level. Johnny bassett was behind that and also was very involved in league activities negotiations wayne. Gretzky makes an appearance ally gold. Yes the voice of The alabama crimson tide. Football program makes an appearance in in this conversation. Yes that's where he got his real first Pro broadcasting start was broadcast in the birmingham bulls. If you can believe that and yes we've reached out to ally gold and he is declined humbly to to be part of our conversations but Maybe will convince them at some point to to come and talk to us about that year and change that He was a birmingham bulls a broadcaster. But i digress. Johnny bassett was the believer in chief. If you will of hockey in the south and was responsible for bringing the then. Toronto toro's to birmingham to become the bulls and a two year extravaganza that in the world hockey association. Now if that weren't enough and by. Golly it ought to be and we get into our conversation further with dennis. I don't think johnny was sort of in a real hurry to kind of get back into the pro sports sports ownership thing and especially in the. I guess you'd call them. Challenger leagues after kind of getting burned twice by those two. By the way i we don't get into a too much but johnny was also the owner. Wait for a world team. Tennis franchises well again. There's dennis murphy and and and his His gang the toronto slash buffalo royals We don't really get into too much of that conversation in here but that was also a dalliance of janis to so if those three teams that all sort of went kaput for various reasons weren't enough to kind of scaring away from being a pro sports owner again. Well guess what he came back for more and maybe even an astonishing achievement his His role in the usfl and the tampa bay bandits. Yes partial ownership by burt and a whole bunch of others down south in in tampa bay. The usfl tampa bay bandits was the johnny bassett football franchise of the usfl.

"Help the lighting or help the hvac or build some solar arrays or something like that Got it well. Some javanese examples. I'd like to maybe look at what you've seen for projects where they're savings. Potential is huge. And what that looks like in some of the things maybe discovered that we're leading to these sites that we're using crazy amounts of water and maybe the other the flip side of that sites that you said. I can't save you any water. Yeah luckily again for us. We work all over the country. So there's places that we we see things so Again the first thing. We look at. When i when i asked for the folks i'm like sending me the water bills. We analyze the water bills. And then we know we. We look at the water bills. We look at the square footage. And we go okay. Well right now. We see that this site is using a hundred gallons of square foot. Andy and it should be using twenty or thirty gallons to me right away. I'm going wow okay. This is property that. I want to see firsthand. What's going on so we. We were fortunate enough to to look at a large parking wreck division and we got fifty parks that i got the look at the utility bills three years. I crunched all the numbers. I did all the measurements. And you know. We saw some sites that were ninety eighty gowns and they should have only been forty so when we went out to the sites that i that's double they're using twice as much or more and yes so the first thing that i do and the teen does where i tried to get them to do is go. Find the water meter first thing. Where's the water meter right. Open the water meter lead ball whatever you can do it safely And see what's going on with the meter. Is the meter moving. Visit still so a couple of sites. I go to andy. I'm looking at the water meter and a water meter spinning like crazy and there is not a soul insight. You're looking around the park looking for sprinklers right automate this is the water meter. Where are the sprinklers. Nothing but it's rolling and it's spin and i'm looking all over the place and i can't find any leaks anywhere so on this particular instant andy It happened to be a project in In hawaii on wa who where the sitting on a volcanic rock porous undersoil We determine that this old piping irrigation system had had corroded extensively over time and it was just a massive leak of one hundred twenty five gallons a minute just going into the ocean water. Jeez one twenty five gowns met yet leak that we discovered And we kind of had a feeling. Because i've been doing this long enough to know but you know until you see it and you get to it You know you don't believe it until you see it And that's that's what happened on one side and we found two others similar to that not quite that rate But again it was. We determine it based on our gallons per square foot rule of thumb. And right you knew then. You looked at this date and you went okay..

"You know we you know we use them as a grain of salt because it's not indicative facility site is gonna typically use any given year. Oh god so. Three years maybe normalizes the data better. That's correct in especially in an era gatien so we can look at the patterns right winter consumption versus summer consumption. I can look you know. We know their average winter. Consumption is going to be fifty gallons per person per day for a student And then in the winter. I mean the summertime. Excuse me the summertime. It could be hundred fifty gallons per person per day so then then we know that there's an extra hundred gallons per person per day that's being used in the irrigation system. Okay that was kind of my next question is is this is the water data separated inside outside for you or is it just one number that you have to determine what's inside and what's outside that would depend upon the municipality and if they have separate meters irrigation i would say we may get irradiation data twenty five percent of the time and they may have a separate water meter that allows us to look at jesse irradiation data which is fantastic. I can really crush numbers of more. Precise with our analysis. Seventy five percent. It's a single meter going into the site and then now we have the kind of cut and chop battle up to determine okay. How much of that water is being used on. The plumbing fixtures and how much is used for the irrigation system and then we have rules with uh you know in a in a high school for instance we determine what the square footage of the building is and we look at the population meaning. How many students and teachers are in the school and then we have based on that school. We can do a rule of thumb. On how many gallons per square foot or per person that that school would indoor is. It is per person the metric it is per person..
