"Of people were actually using it. They actually started forcing people, didn't they? Yeah, they had to. This is not that people want convenience not security. And this is part of the problem I have with password management in that it sounds like a great solution until the last past thing happens. And then it all goes to hell. So I have to say, even if you're using LastPass, you're still better off in most cases. Because most users reuse passwords. Yep. And that's the worst case. That's true. Right? It's true. Yeah. There's this thing on Netflix right now. It's called kaleidoscope and it's interesting show premise because you can jump in at any one of the 12 episodes. You can watch them in any order, but it tells the story of a heist from multiple angles. And one of the things they had in there, which was really funny, is that the guy who they're trying to break into his vault, he had a gate detection. So the vault is down the hallway and as you're walking down the hallway, it knows it's not him because everybody has a unique gate. Like how you walk. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, Google has been doing that. Interesting thing to come up with. No, it's real. It's real. Google's been studying this. Really? Yes. Well, see, that was funny to me because right before I went to Japan, I accidentally literally hours before I got on a plane, I accidentally kicked the couch in full blast and broke my toe. So you got a different gate now, baby. That means I wouldn't be able to get into my buns. I remember when I was in college, I was walking down the street and a guy said, hey, Leo, and it was like a hundred feet away. I said, how did you know it was me? He said, I could tell by how you walk. You have a distinctive, I don't know what I was silly walk or what, but you have a distinctive gate. And Google says everybody does. And your phone can detect it because of the accelerometers. We had the guy from we had the former or something of either the FBI or the CIA at one of our structure conferences like in 2014. And he got up on stage. And he was like, we love Fitbit. We can totally tell who different people are based on their gate. Everyone's like, oh my gosh, and then they forgot about it promptly. No, it's also good applications to the kind of health things that we're talking about from CES. I mean, Billy Connolly, the famous Scottish comedian, was diagnosed with his terminal medical condition, simply because he was walking across a room and a Doctor Who knew what he was talking about. Said hang on a second, you're showing signs of this particular illness. I need to go and see your doctor right now. This is all incredibly valuable stuff. But yeah. I mean, honestly, that's what we're learning from smartwatches. More and more we're hearing stories about people whose Apple watches saved their lives because it detected A-fib or some other heart condition and said you should see your doctor. I'm sure gate will be the next thing. In terms of the gate thing for Apple headquarters in particular, when the watch is first came out, they've got this thing that it's good to walk around for ten minutes every hour, which is perfectly valid. But the problem was they were automatically set for the last ten minutes. Everybody gets an Apple headquarters. Ten to the hour. Everyone fixed it up and walked. No, I noticed that in the early days of the stand detection, everybody had to get up at ten minutes till the hour. Have they fixed that? Is it now staggered? Nope, it's still coming on that 50 to me. I swear it comes on at the 5th. It's always the minute 50 every time it's time to get up. That's because you haven't done it yet. I mean, how else would you do it? Well, one of the things that's funny too. I guess you're right. It's the end. It's coming up to the end of the hour is what you're saying, Stacey, so you haven't done that yet. So that really is only a problem with people like us who are completely sedentary, Doc. We're always sitting down. We're just sitting. What are the strangest things to me? And this is maybe it's not the problem where you live, but here locally, many of the state or local services that I have to log in to do something, they still have like 8 to 16 character password limits. And I'm like, just crazy. And I'm like, yo, you're the city tax office, right? Or the convenience office. And I can't make a complicated password. So those ones are probably some of the first level that these people who are into this kind of IT sex stuff get into is going through everybody has to deal with their state locally entities at some point. And a lot of them still have weak password requirements and that's super obnoxious. So I would hope that somewhere on the federal level after enough people get in trouble, maybe they should fix that sort of thing. And they're still yelling at the big tech, which I get, but they got to look at their own systems. We had the story on Mac break weekly this week. When the apple fall detection first came out, remember people on roller coasters were accidentally calling 9-1-1. Now it turns out skiers, the ski season, who were Apple watches, there was a huge increase in Colorado, fake or false or not real 9-1-1 calls from their Apple watches because they were going down the slopes and they didn't notice because they probably had gloves and stuff on. They didn't notice that their watch was calling 9-1-1. And

Beautiful one of saint mungo, the patron saint of the city. It was like a homeless passion that he's got Robin in his hand, and that's one of the legends of Mongol that he brought a Robin back life munger's the pitcher and the sea. I remember there's one where this girl is picking up a little tiny guy. That was smug. That smug as well, yeah. And it comes with a smug message. What's the story about that? So she's actually on a building which houses her strip club. And so you could interpret, I don't know if smug would agree with us or not, but you couldn't interpret that she's maybe picking up a little man who's on his way. She's doing some other gesture with her hand, perhaps the little tiny men that go to the men. Objectify the women of Glasgow and on her necklace that says the name smug as well. All right. Billy Connolly just mentioned of him when we were talking about the Glasgow Pato there and probably people are familiar with the comedian Billy Connolly. They did a TV documentary of him going back to see his mural on the wall of it. And if you want to sort of familiarize yourself with Glasgow and it's accident before you visit, then watch some Billy Connolly, but be prepared. We've said that Glasgow is Gritty. And Billy Conley himself says that he uses profanity like comment like commerce to punctuate. That would be a good bit of video to watch before. If you're open, if you're open minded. With different kinds of punctuation. The humor is very, very Gritty coming out of the shipyards. Other ones that you might want to watch still game and that is one which is absolutely superb if you're open minded, which is an American voice activated elevator. And it's two glass regions in a new lifter elevator and they're trying to get to the 11th floor. And it doesn't understand.

Woman's Hour
"billy connolly" Discussed on Woman's Hour
"And then when the priest gave the sermon, it was all about grief, which was very, very powerful, so there was a sense of this occasion that was filled with threat and peril but also tremendous consolation and when I got back to London I wrote the christening scene in the novel as a short story and then that sort of all grew from there. And it ends up that Ruth actually brings up the granddaughter her granddaughter. We've talked a lot on woman's era by about kinship care when family members bring up a child that for whatever reasons can't be with their parents. What does the arrival of her granddaughter lily mean to Ruth? Well, I suppose I've always been interested in all the different ways of being a family and that two sisters with no other relatives can be a family and a grandmother and a baby might be almost a couple. And I wanted to create a baby that was really, really spectacular, a lot of there's a lot of talk about babies being the last straw and ruining your sleep and having in your plans, but life with babies when it's at its best when you're almost in a swoon at that hot little limbs or the feel of that curls on the side of your arm or I wanted to bring some of that in and the side of babies that can be almost ecstatic at the sight of a cotton reel or a mushroom and that kind of thing that that's a very powerful thing to be around and it's very powerful for the Ruth character who doesn't find life the easiest, but really gets a lot receives a lot from the child who does seem to know how to live life. There's an interesting thing in the children being brought up by grandparents. Billy Connolly writes about it. He calls them granny's boys. He's very funny about it. Obviously, he naturally is. And, in fact, he was a granny's boy himself. It's that idea that children who brought up by their grandparents are slightly set apart, they have a slightly different upbringing. Definitely in about granny's boys they always say that they have the neatest hair in the whitest shirts. But I think even if you meet a 7 year old now, who knows tons about flowers and birds there's a big chance they'll spend a lot of time with their grandparents, and I like that thing of the sort of generational mix up that a child might know the songs instead of knowing the songs from the 90s and the 70s might know songs from the 50s and the 30s and that suddenly they're a little bit out of step, and often they'll hold on to values of kindness and courtesy that might not be so in fashion nowadays. Ruth's daughter, Eleanor is an addict that's the reason that she can't bring up her own child really. You don't write much about her journey from being a bright loving child. We know she was one. Into the desperate woman that she now becomes. Why did you not write about that? Well, I wanted to keep all that at the edge of the story really because it's.
Homo Sapiens

"We've got to we've got to continue. We've got to form an organization so that another section 28 doesn't happen again. And that was when we started to think about forming stone. And you know, talking about allies and the incredible work that you did with that, it was also a incredibly glamorous time as well, not to dwell on the wrong bit of it here, but you know, as we, you know, if I read in your book, it's sort of the Billy Connolly pops up and does something then you're in David Hockney's house and now you're on having dinner at Elton's and all these people would galvanize around supporting this cause in a way that hadn't been seen before, would that be correct? Yeah, but we knew when we set up stonewall and I was the chair. We wanted to have a professional staff and office close to Westminster. And continue winning the arguments for equality. And so we went to them with saying and some of the wonderful ways, you know, I mean, how I got too out and how I got to David Hockney and the role of the armistice mopping played and Billy Connolly. I mean, I was so lucky, but their attitude was, yes, of course, we'll support you. Because they did what I keep saying, we should always do. Of course, Billy wasn't gay, but Billy thought, well, what if I was good? I'd be there with you. Be there. Come on. And other people who won't go stood in our shoes and said, come on. But going to David help me, I remember when I said to him, he couldn't take his eyes off Paul, over at David's house in the hills in LA. And I said to David, so this is we're doing this with stonewall and blah blah blah blah. And I said, I'm wondering if you give us a painting. Right now, he's painting. For millions of dollars. And there's a long pause and it looked to me anyway. Only one. That's only one. That would do a Billy doing a benefit for us. The wonderful dinner party, I won't give it away, you know, for people who want to read the book, but that wonderful moment where suddenly Elton steps up to the plate and does it and then somebody else does. The equality show at the Albert Hall with Elton topping the bill and looking up. Oh, I can see it now. There. Fluttering from that flag pole. Above the Royal Albert Hall, the LGBTQ+ flag. The first time it had flown there. And I thought,.

"And when you're doing something because you care more about your relationship with your family than you do about them, knowing who you are, I can understand and see that and support that. The second you care more about what's true and about them knowing you for who you are, then you do about maintaining a relationship. That's when things will change. Yeah. I really appreciate that Martin. It's like, thank you as well, Dave. And you guys are, I've seen many of your lectures online and it's your great inspiration for people that are confused about this stuff. Thank you very much, Josh. That's a luck. And let us know what you decide. How it goes. Yeah, how do I shall I send an email after I returned? That's probably a good idea. I mean, you can email TV at 8 this time in community dot org, something we don't push often enough anymore, but there is someone there to answer those questions and to make sure they get forwarded to me when they're important. Thank you. Really appreciate your advice and the fact that I got to speak to someone, let's say, I think one of the most influential people in the assets community. Well, I don't know if I'd go that far with Dave, but he's pretty cool. We all know who he's talking about. I know. I just, I don't do that well. But thanks so much. Let me go. Because we are almost out of time and there's one more call to get to in this slight bit of overtime. Peter in Australia wants to know about the legal liability for false prophecies. How you doing, Peter? I'm good by yourself. Hey, Peter. Not too bad. You can I don't hate on. So I've been watching this show on YouTube for a lot of years, and it's fairly rare that I get to see the show on live. So I haven't called in earlier. Matt, you did a number of shows feel OPEC about people like how camping people who have these prophecies that come up and in one particular show person called up and said their family had sold up. It was their own and moved up into the hills because of a prophecy and of course it didn't happen. And they sort of had to come back down the hill and restart their lives. I'm wondering how the hell do these passes in that they're not getting sued left right and center? Question, I guess, but I don't know. I think there would be some liability sometime. I'm not a lawyer. I have lots of friends who are. I'd be happy the next time I get one of those lawyer Friends on one of my other shows to ask them about this. If I had to guess, I would say it's at no point, are they the way prophecy works, it is all done in the buyer beware of speculative sense. I can be absolutely convinced that this stock is going to quadruple tomorrow. And if I tell you, I've got it on really good authority. This stock is going to quadruple tomorrow, but you invest your money. I don't know that I'm necessarily liable for giving a stock tip if it fails. And so similarly, if I say, I think God's coming back tomorrow and taking us all the way to glory. I don't know how you prove liability because one of the things somebody could argue is that you should have fucking knowing that was nonsense, but I don't know for sure. And of course, the legal law is going to be different in different countries too. Nobody's being coerced. Nobody's being forced to obey the profits, so to speak. So yeah, I think barbu, I think any judge or court would look at that and say, my God, how could you be so stupid? So, you know, yeah. Now, there are cases where people are being forced in those like cult like scenarios where they've given up everything and somebody's taken over another in charge of their life and you get things like you've seen Waco and other martial apple white those. Now all of a sudden there's potential liability. But I'm not a lawyer. I'm certainly not a lawyer for wine how it is around the world. But I can ask. Yeah. Obviously, most of your prophecies, I guess you got and provided fossils are really vague and abstract. Every now and then someone like this held camping by 6 years head up and say something really specific with a real date and this is absolutely going to happen. And I would have thought, and especially the people who are directly affected by that. After all happened. I guess the one thing you don't see don't even get in the life and the legal stuff. You don't really see people leaving that particular character, whatever after that happens. Right. It's got nothing to do with the existence of God. It's like, but this particular pass is talking shit. I'll go somewhere else. That's not what tends to happen. We've seen with Harold camping and others that they just keep changing the date. It's very much like the QAnon folks who keep changing their dates in their and their reasoning behind exactly how and when Trump will return triumphant spoiler alert. He's not going to. Neither Trump nor Jesus are going to return triumph. Well, it's the same. It's the same group of people that are susceptible to these ideas because they want to believe they easily believe things for that evidence and they're prone to buy into conspiracy theories. And if we look at the whole of the evangelical message that Jesus is coming back and he's kind of riding a white horse and arm again and all that, it's a one big conspiracy theory, and the same group of people believe that that are going to believe QAnon and going to believe that the vaccine is a hoax. So, you know, they're all in this. It's the mindset. They want to believe bullshit stuff and they don't need evidence for it. Or at a minimum, there's some overlap. But we've come to the legal responsibility. In order to have some kind of legal recourse, I get, I think that you would have to be able to show that it was some sort of intentional scam, which if all of your parishioners sold their belongings and moved out here, but the preacher did not sell his belongings and move out there with him. Now you might have a good case for some sort of scam. But as long as the preachers in on it too, as long as the people, you know, they're invested in this similarly and equally. It's really hard to show that there's a scam. And when people sincerely believe something and tell you what they sincerely believe, if it turns out wrong, the only thing you can do is say, well, we were wrong, but you don't get to sue someone for being sincerely wrong. You'd have to show that there was some intent to deceive. I don't know that you can always do. Yeah. Look at that. Did you ever see a movie called the man who sued God? It was a Billy cunningly movie. Billy Connolly, yeah. I don't remember it well, but I love Billy Connolly. So yeah, I remember seeing it. I just don't recall the details of it, but I gotta let you go, Peter because we're way past time. Thanks for the call Peter. I appreciate the call. Yeah, cheers. It might be good. There were people who tried to sue the psychic friends network and others. Despite the fact that they were there some lawsuits in Scientology, I can't remember. Seems like there were. Well, there were a number that have tried. Scientology managed to get proclaimed a religion under U.S. law and get banned in some other countries besides. So the law is a little complicated on that and since we're not lawyers, let me just say that we're a week out from Halloween. Halloween episode, the atheist experience..

Go back to this week last year though situation was much different and this is why people still give out to me about loving zero covert eddie and i do. I'm still do. I still do a wish to god. We try to wish to retrain harder with that. Go back to twenty sixth of august. Twenty twenty all right. You're going to love this. We had nobody in hospital in kark and we had nobody in icu. In cork this day last year. So there's just a few comparisons for you. I bring them to you as to reiterate the cabinet committee on covert nineteen meeting today. The music industry has been very outspoken. Over the past week passed part. Is i guess because they feel very very hard done by and you can see why you know. There's a public health crisis out there. We know that everything has to be done with that crisis in mind feeling very hard done by and the man who goes by the name of ireland's ambassador of song as stood up in defence and stood up to defend his industry and stood up to speak for his industry. I'm talking of hill. Culture talking of a man who has written songs and had number ones with kip.

He's written a song for or with them. Speak of dairyman feel coulter. Had an opportunity yesterday to speak with phil about the latest Developments phil how long is it since you actually played a gig in public january of last year. pj which is you know. It's it's the early days in the early days. There was a novelty factor. In the early days there was a sense of solidarity. it was like almost like wartime under said to each other. Well you know the not asking a lot. We just wear a mask social distance and and Wash your hands etcetera not asking lot. We can put up with this for a couple of months and then as time wore on a sign on the novelty set me wore off and for those of us in the entertainment industry. The reality dawned that you know the prospect of us getting back to work was receding into the distance as this covert thing. Just refuse to go away. So when i really situation all of these months later we still have no clarity except of course except were grown ups for adults where responsible we accept that there has to be rules and regulations we accept that and we look at the figures and we know that this is a serious condition and so that that has to be treated with great respect but our great problem. Is the great lack of clarity number one quinn. Is this famous bob. Going to be unveiled number one number two whereas the consistency. You know let. Let's be treated with the same. The same degree of respect as as as other than receives. Are you know it is. It is to me very hard. Very hard to reconcile. At only fifty people are loaded in the gateway theatre dublin for a play and you know take take twenty steps across the street and two hundred people are not pub. Grab a cab. A toco parks and forty thousand people are in there and yet we are not allowed the music industry week. Peace bond player wedding to me. There's a great inconsistency there i. I'm delighted i'm delighted. That forty thousand people in croke park. Don't get me wrong. I have no beef of the way. I'm delighted that the debt pubs and restaurants were open again. But we would just like to be treated with the same respect. I mean it was. It was a little bit of a rebuff to our industry. And when catherine martin met with With representatives from our industry that the shirt and the tonsure on the health minister didn't turn up but just settling for their lackeys instead. Now that.

"Like michael said that where i actually think. The sequel is better than the original. I'll give one example. Not go into it but i there's a movie called fx. I really. i really think that affects two is the better one is fixed. The one with billy connolly now what doing communism in that movie living now. It's possible only an australian guy who likes to take off his shirt. It's brian brown and brown. I think i'm thinking of a different movie then facts. I like the first one. I can't remember the second. One is cool eight. He got this clown where he has a suit. Great in control the clown. But i will pull out of my sifi hat. I will trum legs. Oh yes i think. That's a totally underrated movie. It has awesome score awesome. That's of cool character and they really do kind of pay. Proper homage to the original movie agreed anybody else. I think. The matrix reloaded is pre underrated as a sequel. Like you actually liked that one better than the first ones. The thing about the first one is that okay. So you're saying that neo was born within this world of the you know the in the pot and all that he's been gone and the fact that he's able to break all the laws of physics and do all these super amazing things in the digital matrix world and that means he's able to do it for a reason whereas if this were like a movie that didn't have the computerized world new except that okay. He's chosen likewise with the oracle. They're only able to communicate with her in the matrix means that she has these abilities or reason bus. She's not trustworthy and the characters aren't really bring these things up in the first movie. There's just going with it. And i'm like okay given humanities predicament. How is the ability to be like superman and the matrix conducive the freeing liberating humanity and all that a look at the fact that they're trying to get you to really care about zion. And then go there that. Morpheus kinda uses neo. Moore's tool as a means to an end rather than really being his friend. As i was like i liked the first one in this stuff is going there but the second one kinda leans it all that stuff you know. Neil actually is questioning or Is questioning himself about you. Know why exactly do i have these powers you do learn about how the inner workings of the matrix and all the programs where he learned that okay the that he killed smith which was a little weird how they did that. The end of the first movie unplugged it like a corrupted file which is now constantly copying songs in those no else to do and the way the architect kind of lays out exactly what the nature of the relationship with all this is. A very symbiotic relationship makes sense and says neal trinity's relationship was built up a lot more actually care a lot more about him trying to save her than then. We'll try to save morpheus in the first one so i just think it really came together a lot more in time together. Exactly what the story. Because i thought the first one was a bit too. Incomplete without questions answered awesome two million millionaire folly.

So i think say android grew up in a musical family and dad was. My dad was a swing but he played in a swing band. Indeed my brother still does. They were both drummers. My brother's still is hold that against them. He doesn't beyond he gets older job jokes. He doesn't get many gigs. These days for obvious reasons but so there was always music. But it wasn't just swing museum. I mean this is back in the forties was a little one. Classical music was there as well. And that's what really got me hooked. I like pop music but classical music is something that has been a major part of my life throughout my whole life and to be honest andrew. I'm really glad about that. Because he often provide you with a way of getting away from the from the world. It's a really solid thing to be able to listen to a piece of music that you know is going to be your happy place. Whether it's beethoven sibelius bribes whoever is all great stuff so steppenwolf steppenwolf. Yeah i can do that as well. Okay yeah because i've got fairly broad musical tastes and in the sixties heavily into beatles stones. Y'all all the stuff that was going on then but the other. that's the other side of it so move. Classical music is not entirely confined to listening. And i'll explain that in a second but mostly because they don't play an orchestral instrument for example in an orchestra played violin or something. However i did learn both piano guitar. And in the in the folk era in the sixties and seventies. I did a lot of played in clubs all over. England and scotland hung out with the likes of gerry. Rafferty and billy connolly and people like that who are coming musicians at the time and still play occasionally but not in any sense. The word meaning to i thought i was going to become a professional musician. Quite glad it because there wasn't actually look on that good. never mind. The guy who played with was he's still professional in scotland. Kenny brill. We were of a band. Called bradford and east fife ready mix concrete company anyway. So so the science comes into that because for the last fifty years of written death science songs which perform at signs in the pump and things of that sort but the classical in some ways is more related to the astronomy. Because i got very friendly with because through his work listening to his work on the radio with an australian composer nervous edwards. Ross is one of australia's foremost classical music composers. He he actually composed the piece that was played on the sales of the sydney opera house on the first of january. Two thousand with an audio into two point five billion people. It's called door mantras. It's a beautiful piece of modern classical music..
