"In the town of herzegovina. Rock hurt so didn't you begin. I think you said like herzog iraq. You really hit an over so dinner just saying it is making me cough right through the center of had so ganor off. Is the river. Rock and rudy took his people across the river and built a new factory. No i'm sorry. There were two factories that were that. Were part of this. This company and rudy took the south factory and ati kept the north fact. This is a steinbeck novel. These two brothers fighting and one of them crosses the river with his people shaking his fist. Yep and but they stayed in this. It's interesting they stayed in the same town as rivals and and What bitter bitter bitter brothers. yeah they Rudy initially called his shoes rueda short for rudy destler and it was the other called data originally right originally Ati went from ati called the shoes. Odd us but there was already a brand of children's shoes called awda so he just put an eye on adidas slower and and the The evolution of rueda two puma was kind of just p- puma just is is a bad ass cat whereas rueda sounds like somebody's is revealing. That rudy shoes go on to become puma. Rueda became puma. Yeah rudy rudy. Shoes re really rudy. Do rudy tutti fresh fruity and the two companies began. What became a A rivalry throughout the twentieth century and a rivalry where it basically divided the town. Anyone who lived on the south side of town also worked in rudy's factory and only war puma shoes and anyone who lived north of the river worked north of the river and wore adidas. This is insane. It's a company town but it's divided between two companies that are just totally strange and hate each other and it and it was a not just a neighborhood thing but a family thing your if your father worked for you worked for adidas it never would occur to you to wear a puma shoe if there are people that you know that said that you would never mention the name of the of the The rival across the river. He can't even say it and the town was called became nicknamed the town of bent necks. Because the first thing you did was look at someone shoes and that would tell you everything about. It is literally gang colors. Yeah so you're walking around you know you can't really interact in the town without looking down i so the town of bent next became it's it's well it's nickname and i think i think only recently it stopped being kind of known that way in the region the their success throughout the fifties and sixties was very connected to sport the first world cup after the war. The germans weren't allowed to participate in in nineteen fifty. There was still you know. Germany was still an occupied country. And the and you did a very naughty. Yeah genocide you cannot be in. The world are not allowed to play football but by fifty four. there was a kind of rehabilitation happening west. Germany saw that trying to keep the germans beaten down. Didn't work after world war one and maybe the way to do it after world war two is just getting back in in the game and tournament a healthy. Happy capitalists is still a unified german team or is it a west germany east german team. I guess the time this would have been the west german team. They were allowed into the nineteen fifty four world cup and adidas became the official shoe of the german team. Now both ati and rudy were really at the forefront of the idea of sports marketing and rudy was really good at it but audie had all these friendships and relationships connections to people in sport because he was making the shoes and was and people came to him to find out about the shoes. The coach of the west german team was a man him sepp herberger and separate had also been a nazi. But that wasn't what they had in common. What they had in common was the love of shoes and so up became a like a. He was the one that shows adidas to be the shoes of the german team. And from that from nineteen fifty four all the way into the late seventies. The competition between the brothers had a lot to do with what evolved into sports marketing thing. I had a jump in the shoe game since they actually had all the real engineers and designers working for had better and better shoes right. But somebody still on but rudy was a better marketer and in the end It was at the nineteen seventy world cup. That rudy got palay into woman's and as part of the contract palay at the start of the game ran out onto the pitch and held his hand up to the referee. Who is about to blow the whistle to start the game and bent down and tied his shoes on camera in front of a billion people watching the world cup and this was like a a little little buzzed marketing. That rudy came up. Must've been controversial at the time now. It's just commonplace that there will be sneaker wars as part of every professional sport. I think i think that it was only later. Revealed to be a was just like oh hang on. I've got time. I shoot my puma and so the camera pans down to you know to capture palay their tieing shoes. And it's it's just up to you if you want to see what shoes wearing if you wanna buy those for yourself you don't have to bend your neck if the cameras bending for you but it is true that that adidas always had the lead in terms of technological innovation and they always were the biggest company and it it actually was ati son horst dassler..

"And that was probably even more pronounced then yet. Yeah that you know. The family business belongs to the oldest child and there seems to be some parental favoritism. Paulina or pauline ended up in the long run siding with rudy. Does each have a favorite. This is always fun. It seem it seems like they did. Although kristoff seems like he may have stayed above the fray but going into the war there was. i mean they're both members of the nazi party but weirdly that to talk. I think are older brother to fritz. Also joined it's good to have common interests it is. It is nice. But i think it brought. Nazism brought the family together. For whatever else you can say about nazi but going into the war. There was not a would expect that the german war machine would say. Let's convert your some boots. Yeah factory to some cool you know if not like marching boots than cool commando like spiderman boots but that turned out not to be the case and they made the difference in the war maybe if if they had made adidas adidas boots they certainly had all day. I drew aspirin all day. I dream about sudeten land. They turned out that that rudolph was conscripted and the company was kind of shutdown and machines were moved in and it was put into it was put to work as a manufacturing plant for you know initially for wo jets and limited. The older kid got drafted. The older kid got drafted and went into what after the war was suggested was kind of a Like an s style intelligence unit. So all of this again sort of disputed by conflicting testimony at the end of the war eventually oddy retools the factory and the adidas factory. Or what would soon be adidas but the The factory starts manufacturing. Bazookas can use the same jeans. Do you think. I will ever discover that he could just turn sneaker machines around and make busy bazookas. The bazooka had not bazooka was an american invention and it was only when they started capturing american bazookas that they reverse engineered them. And and so you know audie was was in the basuki making a bazooka making business. The basuki making xueping. That's the zucchini. Spent the war xueping. They ended up making almost one hundred thousand bazookas before the end of the war. Wow but at the end of the war. There was a lot of contention rudy was captured. The the american tanks rolled in and rolled into were. They rolled into one to what the name of the place. get iraq. and there's this There's this kind of dramatic story that the tanks rolled into the town and they were just kind of like pointing their cannons that anything that looked like a part of the war effort and just blowing up buildings run the russians versus these are americans because this is very okay at which point caccia ran out and stood like a like a like cotinine square stood in front of a tank and said no. No no. don't destroy the destroyer bazooka factory shoot. Plant don't destroy our shoe plant because we are innocent. And i think might have even said. We gave shoes jesse owens in the thirty six olympics. And somehow the american soldiers didn't destroy the factory turned their cannons away and then went on down the road destroying other fans and the american every other factories. Like we gave some of these crackers to jesse owens. He said they were written good. We have some of these bazookas to to jesse owens holy cow. They actually i guess Billeted the american officers There in schloss destler which their pretzels buttered on these guys. That's right and there were several. So so then there's a there's this kind of You know the the the in the nuremberg fashion. Like everybody's got a tone or at least account for their performance in the war. And there's all this record public record of them all being nazis and public zukas for the world and and rudy actually being arguably a zoolander commando or like a bad actor. He's got a black leather jacket in the closet but they make the case that they are. You know kind of essential to the shoes being a a non-political thing you know they're kind of they're ready to play a part in the rebuilding of germany. And eventually the americans realized we can't prosecute every nazi in this country and they and they everybody was making something for the war machine right and so they you know they absolve them of their involvement but the damage between audion rudy is done and part of it was during these during these trials. They kind of denounced one another actually did denounce one another. And an ati said rudy was a was a bad nazi and rudy said. He was making bazookas. Are you kidding me. His name's literally adolf and the americans couldn't decide who to believe so they let both pretty smart. They let them both go. At which point their shoe company they decided to split in half a really was gonna leave one does left. Shoes was rightish if only rudy and audie though the way that they worked it out was that the people that were in sales and marketing and administration. They they they. They allow their employees to pick who they went with. How interested in sales marketing and administration all went with rudy because they worked with them entrusted him and liked and all of the engineers and manufacturing people stayed with ati and that was the larger portion of the company. Ati kept the original factory and rudy went across the river..

"I'm audie was as part of his interest in in making shoes as hobbyist and as a enthusiast he actually went to the footwear technical college in germany which the which was a well in germany. It's called the shoe fash shula so sufa shula. There's like a national there was and he One of his great one of his one of his teachers was a man by the name of franz marts and he was an expert in the construction of lasts which are the kind of would models that he build a shoe around and frances daughter. Cathy or kathy. How do you pronounce that german qatar. Maybe sure katerina's prescott cutter. Contra became adis wife in nineteen thirty four and she was by all accounts. An outspoken undaunted young woman. She was just a teenager when they married. But her introduction into the family became Became kind of a a a big part of the story because she was a young woman who was fairly contentious. And even though the shoe company was having success kristoff and pauline and ati and rudy and both audience rudy's wives and all five of their subsequent kids lived in one house together and caccia did not get along troublemaker troublemaker. She was opinionated. She got involved in the business and wanted her opinions and her suggestions were taken seriously by audie and so this is the story that rudy tells later as he describes the causes of his estrangement from audio easy to scapegoat boat. The woman there and make her out to be the yoko of adidas and and and within the story there's also a feeling of The two wives rudy's wife and kaci also did not get along. They just didn't get along and there was but you know. I think a big part of it is all these people are living in one house. Move out move to another house that that would be nice. He's seen a little lebanon's round little get a little love nest somewhere. Come on you gotta new bride like a couple of new kids. You don't wanna live with grandma and chris with the businesses doing okay. These are small towns too. It's not. It's not clear why they all had to live in the family schloss. But that's how that's how it panned out but the disputes between rudy and audie started before the war there was just. I mean your brother joined us a baseball game the other day. And he's like a sweet guy in town with us. He's probably listening to this right now. So do do you and your brother have any kind of Can you imagine a situation where you and he would become estranged as he is he somebody who would brings something who would say to you like. I refused to eat in in your kitchen anymore. Because you don't have a separate set of plates for the for the chocolates. I hope not because we get along. Great his sweet fellow but he does have kind of some some dogmatic ideas. You know he will decide. You know i don. I don't do this. He will never do that again. He will never take such a vacation or a like a five thousand cd collection but he has very specific rules. You know no matter how much he loves the artist if the cd has fewer than nine tracks. I think it is. He will just not refuse to own it. Would if it's a sixty five minute long record but only has nine tracks like even even worse six six long track that's just self-indulgent. That's not what he wants. Oh just doesn't fit the collection. He believes that record is nine songs. At least what if it's nine song record but it's only twenty nine minutes. He hasn't a minimum length to. I think it might be like thirty eight minutes. This is weird because this actually comes up in indie rock record label conversations. What constitutes what makes a record more than ep. Well sure there's a there's a possibility of looking lazier charging the same amount for the shorter musical selection. The first long winters record only has nine songs. but there's a unlisted track. There's actually ten songs and the trick. Track is unlisted because we weren't sure about the copyright. It's a cover. We weren't sure who held the copyright and we didn't want to deal with it so we just put it on there without any any attribution and so it's a tense on record but your brother would have looked at it on the shelf and thought it was a nine song now he would know. Yeah that's right yeah. He has encyclopedic knowledge of indie rock. So you don't think he would stop being your friend or or become estranged from you if you're like. I have a record collection of only twenty iraqi music album that over thirty two minutes of music on no he would overlook that we we actually We get along great. We have a lot of interests in common. So it's it's never. There's nothing strained between us. But you know i can see how family members do fall out. You know especially when they get when they're inflexible when one makes it a just kind of a a rule of life that i'm not gonna put up with your crap anymore. And for many people of healthy decision in the case of these two brothers rudy and ati they. There was a lot of contentiousness in the end. It takes my thing. Mostly the form that ottis the youngest brother but clearly the inspired one and with his wife caccia believes he believes and they believed that he was. The founder of the company should be in charge and rudy seems much more like a glad hander and also believed that as the older brother it should be although the company founded by his younger brother. that he should be the one in charge just prema- janitor.

When suddenly you have a spouse with some level of unexpected level of status or famer prestige yeah and mendis quite untouched by the whole thing.

He was only at the university for fifteen years or so getting his degree right but that's right but but his cheering at the football game was noticed by the owner of a of the hockey team from santa clara. California golden seals of the nhl and the golden seal said. Hey why don't you. We'll give you fifty bucks if you come over and get. Some cheers started at at our. Nhl games is there such a thing as a golden seal. Yeah yeah maybe on a letter but like an animal. There's no there's no cold seal beautiful golden seal. It's the thing is the golden seal appears to you. If you are meant to be king of santa clara like any team could name. There could be named after an animal that exists.

And then shut down and seventy eight very soon while. That's what happens. Our sonic stories still trump's at as and satis sports relocation story but so he you know he's cheering for a team and of course what happens. You're playing an opposing team. And then they see the effect of your cheering and they go. Hey we want that. But in the case of crazy george what seemed to have happened in his own career was that these teams wanted specifically crazy. George henderson they didn't say hey. Let's go back and find our own crazy guy and give our own crazy guy a drum. They said he's hired. This was a bidding war for. Because how could you hire somebody else to play a drum and a wacky way. Well and that's the thing. The san jose earthquakes invited him over to play to to bang his drum for their soccer is operatives and they gave him thirty five dollars a game so the fifty dollars. A game thing hadn't happened yet. He was only getting thirty five bucks game but it seemed fun and it's a big race for him because there's probably you know ten to fifteen games year. He giving can be making five hundred dollars. I'm we're talking about nineteen seventy four nineteen seventy dollars. That's right. it's a lot but what happened. Was he was so good at cheerleading. That he became a contentious issue because teams complained that if he got the crowd cheering they couldn't hear their own their own players home team actually complaining visitors visitors because good. Yeah he would. He was at a time. I think before before the idea of like that much crowd noise actually affecting the play. This was kind of the introduction of seattle. We're used to our homefield. He's literally registering on seismological surveys. Right much less causing false start penalties. Well as he as he moved up into higher and higher into the kind of sports world. And i don't mean to suggest that the nhl is any more than the north american soccer league. but i. i wouldn't suggest that either of those are subservient to the nfl but eventually crazy. George did become an nfl cheerleader. And and no less a group of wimps than the pittsburgh steelers. and we're talking about pittsburgh steelers at the peak of their pittsburgh's dealership hood steel curtain time. They complained that he was making too much noise. And then it wasn't.

Two out of three guys are going to experience male pattern baldness like in their early thirties. Right you know and then it just it just the numbers tick up from there So while you still have hair left it's it's really hard to get it back but while you got left you can. You can slow that.

They're just holding up different medicaments and trying to figure out what is worse than that. Some even require a prescription. So i recommend keeps.

"Great and wonderful. Nobody sat near you. Nobody wanted a beer. And when the wave started i was like oh right. The wave exists. yeah. I haven't seen you in years. And it was the first wave of the season and there was no wave last year so it had been years since a wave. I hoping the wave had maybe died off. Oh you're an anti wave guy. We'll get there in a second wave but you know someone started the wave and the wave went around the stadium in a in a in a lull in the game. Because there's a real etiquette to when you're meant to start a wave and if you it's annoying one away of comes at a at a cool moment when everybody's fixated on the hitter and it can actually be a situation where someone tries to start a wave and they get really like harsh booed booed by people like no. You don't want your wave right now but there are when the game starts to drag. Somebody gets away go. And it's wave o'clock and they really flogged that wave. They tried to keep it going. They started it again when it died. The wave kind of went around a few different times. I do admire the section that starts it because it does take some perseverance and a and force of will like. Let's get this going people. But i mean it's also megalomania the you want to see twenty-five thousand people do your bidding. It's astonishing how few people are needed to start a wave you. There's been a lot of research done on it because this is the type of thing that people that are applying for research. Grants think is hilarious and a lot of times. It's it doesn't start with a grant it starts with a physicist who's like waves. I studied those. What about this one does does the property of stadium williams have anything in common with like electro-magnetic or physical. Well it does and a lot of research has been done into a stadium. Wave would be would be described by a physicist is a vertically polarized transverse traveling wave and is and they are kind of measurable across. There have been several studies. That's probably what happens when you like flop a flap sheet before you put it on a bed right. The it looks similar. But but it's it's a wave comprised of thousands of individual actors. It's very much like a kind of a wave that would go across the ocean or you know a wave that would happen. We have see individual. Tendrils are doing their own thing. Yeah little things that are all working together as a as as a wave unit almost like you know the the incredible science of birds in sky kind of independently but but moving together as a group. Right so yeah. A lot of. I think i think it has inspired physicists. Independent of one another. They see happened and they're like. Oh what if. I looked at that more and it turns out jock. Physicists yeah and you can you can Waves are very popular television. Entertainment to when one starts in a stadium. The cameras can't keep their eyes off of it if it's a good one and so there's lots of video footage of waves that allow physicists to kind of compare and contrast and take take the mean and it turns out you can start away with a dozen people all. It takes even in a stadium of fifty thousand people. All it takes is a dozen or twenty people to stand up once it takes a few tries. sometimes it does in that But you know takes a few tries in a moment where either a stadium is kind of patchy or Or she wants to be paying attention. The wave can die if you don't realize if you don't realize it's about and that's that's something that happens in the group right next to you and it's one of the components of the success of a wave. There's you know there's the there are three conditions that have to be met and or rather there are three metrics. One of them is the distance between audience. Members individually do the things that will determine the success of the way right one of them is. How many neighbors do you have in eyesight of you. So when you're looking at a way of approaching. Can you see far enough down the stadium to you know to build up the excitement and those two are different because stadiums have seating sections so sometimes with us to jump a gap or something and then there's the kind of hard to determine readiness to stand. How how amped the crap amt and how board. It's a combination of support. If you're too board you won't stand it all right. If you're too into the game you're also won't stand it all right. Exactly spa you have to be. You have to be into the game but nothing. This is why the nuremburg rallies did not have the weight. Well it hasn't been invented yet. Oh is that right. Yeah we'll get to that in in a second to but but seeing seeing the wave she was one of the people in. You've been two games with this with people like this. And i bet your kids were like this. She washed the wave so avidly as it went over coming. Daddy it's karen comes here comes here comes. And then she just oh. She gave her all all the way up. And i'm tall enough. Generally unless it's a super wave sit up in my chair and raise my hands and go ahead and it's just as good as a as a person that's five foot forward doing honestly a section that did not even stand but if they all did their hands at the right time the wave could keep going with cookie which is good otherwise it makes the wave ablest if it requires that's right and require standing. It's not real. It's just it's just hands in the air like you. Just don't care and you make some kind of sound How important you think the sound is. Well it's funny. The wave has become very popular in australia at the cricket ground and the australian wave has taken on a kind of class elements and the australian wave the stream. We've has been banned at cricket matches several different times distracting the players. Who just for being the wrong vibe at a cricket match well so so in australia the there's a there's a place in the sydney cricket grounds that is reserved for members of the sydney cricket club. Yeah and they are all wealthy and they sit together and their one. Little snobby cricket area show gets about australian cricket. Yeah here we go again and as the as the wave in it's you know it. The wave obviously appeals to australians because it allows them to go and stand up at once famous australian qualities like their ancestors did right before stabbing dockworker but when the way was introduced to the sydney cricket grounds it would arrive at the at the members only section and they wouldn't stand it was considered a dick laissez and the way would continue and this is one of the amazing things about the kind of crowd understanding of a wave with time it would pass through the non-standing cricket ground and began cricket club and began again on the other side as though uninterrupted so it is interrupted by people are leaving the interval of time it would would've taken people don't let it jump immediately like a spark no wait for it to go and then it comes back around and so the the the tradition there or the the habit became that during the time when the wave would be passing through the the cricket club the audience boos so go around and then it hits the boo comes out the other unprecedented sports for people to do a full section of the of yeah and it became a class issue and so it was. It was banned. Not i think. I think on the grounds that it was distracting but also it it took on this sort of class. It's always clauses fair when the lower class rises up. You know the upper class never minds class warfare as long as they're the ones perpetuating it but the australian cricket fans then refuse to abide by the bam but would they started to do was as the wave went through the cricket grounds. They went sh they would all they would all say shush or and there are waves. That are quiet waves where everyone is completely silent about. It'd be a very super spooky. And cool and i wish that we would do that in a marriage game. I don't know how you would start quiet. Wave but yeah. The sounds alerts people. It's coming right. You need to get all eyes on it but but if you could somehow get especially in in a full stadium to get tens tens of thousands of people to do a quiet wave. Oh ma'am do do that. Everybody knows my funeral is going to be at At yankee stadium here in seattle. Maybe if they ever agree to have meat throughout the first pitch i will i'll instigate a silent wave. Okay okay the first picture. I'll get to that. Are you gonna come up with a megaphone bullhorn so you can let everybody know but let me start a silent wave i. It's just like optimus..

"We can take off your clothes and strip and run all around the field with them trying to catch with morganna the kissing ended on your heels but he had he had a cautionary tale about a taiwanese console like a diplomat. Who had who'd been asked to. Throw the first pitch at an ems game and had insisted that heathrow for them because he had pitched in highschool not. You don't have to worry. Sure you wanna throw it because you know sixty feet. Six inches is longer than looks. No no no no. I used to pitch in high school. And he he gets up there and he does a big wind up and he just throws into the dirt at his feet. Oh it rolls most of the way dogs. Oh so the the advice. I got from this mysterious stranger who turned out to be the owner and chairman of the seattle mariners was. Don't be here out there. Don't be a hero. I would absolutely try to be a hero. But i've i have heard from people that it harder than it looks a and also the mound the height of the mountains taller than you think you'd think it would be an advantage but for the layperson. It actually causes a lot of confusions and so but you know my friends who have an in at the baseball field. I've never proposed. And it's probably because i'm not famous enough but one day one day my fame will lead me to that mound and i will be a hero. I will throw it from up there. And i'll do the whole wind up and everything and i will. I'll hit a hot dog vendor almost certainly but it'll be worth it. I paid it forward. And i got maria gig. Can maybe she'll i don't think she's going to be able to. She doesn't have the pull the maybe she'll get george in there and then he'll get you. Oh i bet get it there. I bet after game we attended with you. I brought my daughter and she and i had gone to baseball game several times over the years but she was always kind of too young to really watch an entire game. Fortunately the mariners have playgrounds for kids. So do yeah we would take over. And or i would i often. It was just the two of us. And i would take her to the playground and she would play play for a while and that would be enough and will the wonderful thing about going to a baseball games. Such a spectacle that that alone will kind of keep a kid interested for a couple of innings. At least it's always something to look at. At some point there's gonna be fireworks at some point. There might be dots. The ice cream of the future. And i i think later i realized oh we went to see the mariners versus the texas rangers. A matchup no one cares about but but later on when maria throughout the first pitch it with a yankees game and there are a lot of yankees fans there and as everyone knows. They're awful and so there was much more screaming. There was much more a suggestion of possible. Fan violence seattle lot more transplants than it used to and as a result there are any any game we'll have an influx of local fans. If they get a tipping point they will try to start their own chance right. If they get a lead they will start taunting the locals there. Sitting near there was a lot of taunting and as we all know. Seattle is a place in a lot of new yorkers who are trying to leave new york forever. they come here. Seattle seems like the opposite of new york in some ways and in my experience of the of the new yorkers. Come here there are two kinds and one kind is wow. This is so much better than new york. No-one yells at. You almost never smells like pu. It's not cold it's not hot. I walk everywhere but not really you can walk everywhere in new york and then the other kind is hey. What's the matter with this place. Everybody's so you know you're also week no one else. You don't never smells like pooh. How are you going to get you get nothing done. Nobody's friendly and those people you know are going to go back to. Goodhearted person had no accent no good hearted person like a new york. Hey he would lose his accent in they come in. They're like well hello. I'd love to see you some time but probably not soon by nice talking to you. And the new yorkers hey why does everybody on your web guy. A guy wants was i was working on broadway and A guy not in new york not new york but in seattle because we sold the new york times. My new standard. It used to be before the new york times was in every supermarket that this was a place you had to come get it. And so i met all the new yorkers because they all wanted to read the new york times they'd come in and they'd their new yorkers so they would talk to me about you know they'd walk in and they go. Hey we're i'm from your from new york. I know you're here by the new york times and a guy stood there at the counter. One time looking around and he was like. What is everybody in seattle. Where boris karloff shoes. Like what's the deal with that. And i was like all entered icing play. I said well you know it's we're we're alternative alternative fashion. We all are like angry and sad and so we were big clunky shoes. And he's like yeah. It looks like y'all one leg shorter than the other like go back to new york whereas the the well-mannered ones immediately start saying. Hey forget about it. Hey forget about at least forget about it. The the you know the ones that want to live out here. They go get some longer boots. It's the first thing you do. When you first thing you did they. They can't wait. They can't wait to get some flannel on. Give me some of those big black boots. But so the new. The new yorkers obviously at the sporting games are all. They're even if they're from even if they're from connecticut. They exaggerate that yankees at the rangers game. My daughter got pretty bored. And i she was excited about you through throwing out the first pitch but then it was. It was kind of went downhill from. That game. Went to extra innings. Yeah it was a long slow drag and and and they kept us there because it was july second and they promised a big fireworks display so we should have left after the sixth inning. Just to keep her kind of. I don't want her to think of going to a baseball game as a negative experience punishment. Because it's very expensive punishment. Every time she room you can't you can't pay thirty five dollars for for field level seats. Yeah and i tried to placate with like oh. We'll get hot dogs. Well now we'll get pizza will. Hey i never got her dipping dots. Because i don't believe it is the ice cream of the future. No it's got be no. It was not the past and it's certainly not the ice cream of the president third option. It's about the ice cream of the president you can. You can get it now but it has traveled in time. That's what made it so cold. Never had called. The delorean is yeah. That's right well because of dry cold ice cold. One thing she loved about being in the baseball stadium was the wave and she was familiar with it because the wave has become a thing that it's not just a synonymous with sports but it's synonymous with gathering of people at a boring moment. You look around. You go while there fifteen people here. It's not inevitable but but often enough someone will go the way of and they'll stand up and and it'll be a funny moment where ten people kind of standing in a big circle will do the wave and i was shocked when it happened at that game because it was the first game back. At first post pandemic full post pandemic capacity and mariners games had been up until now the season yet not many people not enough people to do the wave not enough people to make lines at the concessions it was like a utopia..

"What we think of is a surname we think of it as just a worldwide convention that the first name is the given name and the second name is the surname. But as you've mentioned the family name but as you've mentioned it's different in hungary and east asia There are all over. You know in russians have patronymics where your last name is just middle name that means like son of and then your father's name in iceland. That is the surname fig. This is daughter in spanish. Speaking culture people have two different last names gabrielle garcia marquez and one is your father surname and one is your mother's oh and which comes. I think it's father than mother. Oh interesting and father gets retained. Let's not kid ourselves still much. She still patriarchal culture. So gabriel garcia marquez's children. Were there any would have the last name garcia not marquess keep garcia and then their mother's name. Oh how cool. If i understand correctly i mean. The reason i'm named john roderick is because the welsh. The welsh were son of john son of roderick roderick son of john and i think in my family pre english administration they just traded five or six different names. And this was the problem because even in small town in wales. You've got roderick son of john who was son of roderick. Who is son of john. How do you tell the who tell them. All apart. i think when the the the british census came in. And i i always picture a guy sitting at a desk and all these coal miners lined up. And they're walking one know. Walk up to the ten. What's your name roderick son of john. All right you're john. Roderick autry rodrick john and just write it down in a book and then it it enters into history in the domesday book. I must be true. You can't follow my family history. Past that moment there is no following the genealogy in wales you just get to that first day and you can read and writes how and ruined ruined and you know you can see through the mist to roderick son of john but the first person to enter into the world is is john son of roderick yet the lack of opportunity for confusion just the fact that you know. Fewer people is probably what kept middle names from becoming common in medieval europe. One guy named jeffrey cedric. You're good albert. There can't be more than one calvert And so it was just cities or towns that necessitated this in italy in thirteenth century italy. There started to grow a fashion for giving children to given names at birth and it was actually for religious reasons rather than reasons of convenience. These people wanted to give the child the name of a saint to show their religious devotion also presumably to protect the child to bring the child the favors of saint ignatius or whoever but there's also the long-standing tradition and maybe deep-seated human need to pass along something of your heritage. So you wanna give the child a family name and if you want to give the child family name antecedents name. The obvious solution is well. Why not one of each. And that's what became popular then and Name in the middle. Yeah i think usually the family name first and the saints name in the middle and even though they were religious they never you know. These were not middle initials although you'd think they would have been following the examples of jesus h christ. What's h holy. The there's an object of the for hallmark because god cared enough to send the very best offer. That's lovely but these were not initials yet but as you pointed out. There's a certain kind of aristocratic or aristocratic air to a three person. Three named person. Yeah or maybe in the case of your daughter a four or five days person yeah The person who wants to add the the suffix like the third like your friend richard bullet griffin or whatever his name was you or me this is why my son is not the fourth because he's not named kenneth. I'm not i'm not against name kenneth. It's fine. I don't know if i would. It's not my top ten. Yeah it's a little bit aged. Well it's the is a child's name the problem well. It's like a british a british child's kenneth. I'm not an engineer for the bbc. Like i'm not doing sound levels for the kinks right now. My name kenneth. How many levels name. It doesn't have a serb before it. You shouldn't be named kevin. But it's extremely posh. I mean the poshness for instance. The poshness of brian eno form. He's already entered into the omnibus as the as the developer of oblique strategies. Brian enos full name is brian. Peter george saint john the teast de saal ino pretty posh you judge the poshness in the length of the knee and the number of times that you have like a french french conjunctions or the number of times that the french articles in the name la or hyphen popping up in the middle of the name very very very poor hyphen is what shows like. In actual terms of income that comma would show. The number of comments would show how much money you have right but but in terms of names. It's definitely the hyphen. The hyphen is the poshest. Punctuation mark. the piano player of keen. Tim rice hyphen. Oxley has a very posh name. Also tim rice oxley the because he couldn't go by tim rice or tim. Oxley both also pretty posh the but that's a recent development middle names were not or a profusion of millions. We're not a hallmark of aristocrats in the uk. In the year eighteen hundred the turn of the nineteenth century Only ten percent of british subjects had a middleman emmy middle name at all let alone seven it did not spread there at all like you know. It started in italy by time in the nineteenth century. Almost half of french people had a middle name. Typical and it was largely men. You know this was true. Ancient rome as well. You know women would only have to name. Slaves only have one. It was a marker of state so in these patriarchal societies it was largely male though not entirely And it was not until the early nineteenth century. The custom spread to britain and And i think like most new additions. It started in the upper classes. There was a a fad for example of giving.

Oh you're kenneth wayne jennings the third you never put that on your checks. I don't the same reason. That richard winfield garnett the third use it. Oh i thought it sounded important. That's why you objected to that because it applies directly to you. Yeah yeah i would i would. I would have moved up to junior now. Yeah but requires my dad to decide. He wants to be senior. Also he's keeping the to that forces you to keep the three. No he's still junior junior. But that's what forces you. He likes to say that you know. Because i'm always ken jennings in the president. He's ken jennings junior. It's really been a it's not identity crisis and possibly time travel paradox for him. He's he's sounds like the the son of his own son. It's bill gates is a junior. Yes but what The way they differentiated is that His father called himself william gates senior. And that's that's one you don't your father could just become senior. He could if he believed in your manners. Agent of chaos. Everybody moves up one. All the time doesn't that sound better. Ca kenneth wayne jennings senior. You'd be you. He be Just aspiring his whole life to become a senior break out of that junior mole he goes from sounding like a serial killer cowboy to sounding like a bank president kenneth wayne juniors seniors get used less for the first of the name can just leave it off. He's the original. Wash it he. After he's the right man it would be a rhetoric him to call him senior was. He lived his whole life without being a senior until had a child. Change your name just because you named a kid after you you. Don't you already named a kid after you. You've definitely got an inflated sense of yourself. Yeah you know the the tendency to name children after ancestors after their after their genealogical legacy or heritage is really at the core of what created middle names. 'cause morgan is the Is a family name. is that right. Yeah family family surname. Yeah you know. The romans had three names often guys. Julius caesar in they would be. There would be a pre norman which was like your personal name. Guys was julius. Caesar's equivalent of john. Ken and then. Julius is your noman your family name. Oh that that was the equivalent of the surname and the third name which is often what we remember today in the cicero or whatever that was called the cog newman which originally it was kind of nickname later it became kind of supplemental hereditary name to distinguish different branches of the family. You know how you would you know. I have this problem today. i just. I had my brother's family visiting me. That's the that's also the jennings's and then my parents came over from scam to go to the ball game with us a neighbor the jennings is too so i can't tell my sister had the jennings's were staying with us. I because i'm the jennings's so you can say the olympic jennings says or the utah jennings right exactly so. This was. The roman cognitive carcinoma became kind of the equivalent of that. Or if you did something awesome in your life your cognition could become a sign of that like if you wanna battle you could become magnus maximus or something. So your dad is ken. Jennings junior you. Are ken jennings jeopardy jeopardy us is a do you have a do you ever use. No i mean there are some that rod roderick long winters. There's some there's some nicknames that people might apply to me but i'm not going to adopt a myself and as a result you can have. It became fashionable because fads always sprawl to have multiple cog no mona. Where if you accomplished multiple things you would just keep adding names and this seems a little odd to us to have the family name in the middle and then a series of kind of descriptive or delimiting titles. But it's this is the exact same system that's used today and a lot of east african cultures action so it's apparently. There's something intuitive about it. Classroom these bantu people did not get it from reading about cicero well. In hungary the last name is first and that's true in korea to yeah and And china and japan as well. Oh the last name is i really. Oh i didn't realize that. About japan and china. I mean you can say it in. It's commonly anglicised especially for japanese. People would say well t- chiro suzuki but but if they were saying it in the old fashioned way the date of way they would say suzuki each year. You put certain. I i did not know.

"Things that i like about your house is that it has a very wide ranging view of a of of an area of nor seattle. One of the reasons. You chose that location. It's true we It's a beautiful part of the world up here because you've got you've often got no matter which way you look here. You've often got snowcapped mountains backing water water and then leafy trees and pines. It's really nice. I was last week. We went down to the bay area into marin county and tried to pick a place with scenic views and it was lovely. We had a great time but we got home. And yesterday i was just walking my dogs in seattle and i was like you know what this view of puget sound here is actually better than what i was paying for in marin. It's a lovely part of the world. And i like when we bought the house. I really was trying to find someplace where i could look out and see. I kind of wanted the view we had as a kid. My parents bought this house in edmonds north of town. That had then an amazing view. And now i think one hundred eighty degree view of the olympics. 'cause they chop donald the trees. Or why is that. Why is improved since then. I think a lot of trees have come down in thirty years since we lived there And i just loved that view or crazy about that but like six weeks after they closed on that house. My dad cable promotion said. Hey i got an offer to go. Take a job in korea. Oh yeah we hardly ever. We hardly got to enjoy the view. But we when we bought this house in north seattle. I was really kinda looking for mountains water out but the but you're facing the opposite direction. I facing west cascades. You'd think the cascades would be the big ticket attraction and you can see ranier from the deck but For some reason i think is it distance. Why do the olympics seem to loom bigger on the horizon. The cascades do from seattle. 'cause the sun hits them earlier in the day right does. The sun is hitting the face of the olympics day whereas the cascades. It's only sort of in the after. That is one problem that we we get. We do not get sunset in our view. Whatever you can say about. Rv which is very nice the sun. We know we'll never set into it and if it does something's gone terribly wrong. Yes because it's facing east flip.

We'll be like that weird circular theater they used to have in tomorrowland disneyland where they would project the grand canyon all around you. That's actually what our show is about. What yeah tomorrowland. It's not about tomorrowland. But it's about that technology. I just wanna say. I don't think you'll ever look at those pictures. Well that's the problem right. I mean. I don't want to do the thing where i take where i try to capture an entire scene by taking multiple pictures across the across the field then eventually i dunno stitching them together. What was the eighty s or ninety s version of that is you. Would you print the print different prints then kind of put them together on your bulletin board. It's so weird. Yeah and that's cute. I mean that's kind of that's that's very i remember. Yeah right. that was something that that fancy girls with. Bob haircuts had in the in the entry way of their dorm room because they didn't have a pinterest board yet. Whatever i bought a big coffee table book right at the wrong time because it was like early. Two thousands a huge coffee table book of aerial photographs of new york city. And it was all stuff that have been digitally spliced together and you can absolutely see instances where buildings are if the perspective is screwed up and they duplicated or smash together angles not quite right and it was only a couple of years later where they had figured out how to do it and stitched together but i have this giant coffee table book. I'm not gonna throw it away. I mean there's no reason to throw stuff especially nowadays that it's not sitting under a bed. Even it's just out in the cloud but.

"You wear your colonel uniform. And he was like. Sometimes you have to wear if the actually dress. The part there are a ceremonial occasions. When he's expected to show up in what everybody thought it was funny when in the reagan era c. Everett koop war his the. He's vice admiral the the head of he or she. The head of the the surgeon general. The head of the public health service corps is a vice admiral because it has ranks. Apparently there's colonels if your friend indication but apparently it's run by a an admiral not a general so yes this kind of naval looking uniform and no no surgeon. General had worn his ceremonially in a generation. Apparently when coop decided he would be between the uniform and kind of the weird uncle. Sam beard plus the fact that he was a very visible voice on eighties. Air issues like abortion and aids. He had a higher profile than really than any surgeon general before or since he really was he really was a public figure but yeah mostly because of his odd facial hair. they look like navy uniforms. All of them he's admiral man and of course it would be incorrect to call the surgeon general general because he or she is an admiral There are director generals in many big ngos and government organizations. I think the only director general in the us government is the one who runs the united states foreign service. There's also a controller. General do you say comptroller or do you say controller. What i say comptroller. Don't you i from the i think controller is i guess in a in a business. I say controller. But it's supposed. I think it's supposed to look like comptroller. Do it's french origin but be pronounced control of it because it looks like comptroller. It's okay to say comptroller. The times that i say comptroller. It's always to do with the university right. Like a company has a controller but a university has a comptroller. That's weird it should be. Maybe i've just invented. That should be the other way around. 'cause company has competent it. Oh like the roller of the whole companies. The comptroller you go The us government has a controller general. That's the guy that runs. The general accounting office created in the twenties. Kind of the harding. Era are modern budget. Process started with these twenty era budget acts that created the whole idea of how the legislature passes a federal budget. And there's got to be an internal to be in charge of those books and that's where the office of controller general was born. I'm just realizing that my doctor friend. When he said that he was the rank of colonel he was saying that in order to communicate it to me. Because he's really gonna gap. Does he was putting army terms for you. But it's naval ranks would be naval ranks right. He would be captain. Not a not a colonel unless that some little trick that they play at the health and they're kind of makes sense. For noah for the noah commissioned corps the weird april and to have tab nautical sounding ranks because of the lowest scenic but really for a public health service. Do they need to sound watery. I think i would imagine. Most of them are on land most of the time. Yeah yeah probably they're not in submarines that much know what do you think space for are the ranks in space force Army navy life. They've got to be air force like which would make them army like right. Army like yeah. I guess that makes sense for except not privates airmen. But that's a problem a problem because the star trek view of the future is that. It's a navy admirals and captains all the way down. You got those little pipes when when captain kirk comes aboard well. It's true that a spaceship is a but the se this is i think the classic lack of imagination about space force because we'll just make it the air force but higher. The thing is the air force's always trying to come up with reasons to exist. Well the air force should have been given space then well. That's exactly what i'm saying. They're by far the closest to space of any of the eight uniform services like the was in charge of nuclear missiles right. But that's very tenuous connection are. Do you know air force. People are they pissed about space force because they just lost they now. They have a ceiling on their on their sphere of influence. I mike my senses. That air force people can choose to go to space force. I suppose if you were in the navy and you wanted to go to space force you to but like i think at the airport yourself in canada well right if you know no there are more. Ufo's living under the ocean than anywhere else can obviously to hitch a ride in the hollower. So no i think if you're at the air force academy now if you go to the naval academy you have to choose between the marines and the navy. Okay and i think if you're the air force academy now you can choose space force in an away. What i'm gonna minor and space force. I think hedge my bets. I think they should just elevated nasa to become a Sure military service. Yeah exactly. What does nasa have a uniformed corps. Why doesn't why don't they trade off. General why are there. Noah guys in uniform with with funny braids but astronauts. Don't necessarily get the nuts. Maybe they all came from. No i think the uniform of nasa is a short sleeved white button down shirt with a pocket protector. That should be the that should be. The thing should be a vice admiral if the size of your pocket. Protector should convey your rank in valor star. Wars kind of equivocate right. The imperial imperials have admirals running the stars but they also have generals presumably landing the the land forces as well. But you know a lot. More about star trek than i do well. There's what's his name captain. Whatever sees his. Admiral get four strangled at the beginning of empire and then he becomes an admiral. What are we talking about. Now is a star wars or star wars star wars the so and so saw has what do the who captain darth vader. He's always killing off his officers for sure. So he takes out. Admiral whatever. And then captain whatever suddenly admiral now but captain is a rank in the navy. Yes but there's also generals oh one one of those guys in the conference room with tarkenton star wars general and the guy. That lands has at outs on hot as a general. Well that makes sense right to your. You would have yeah. The navy is carrying the army to the to the next planet to colonize. That's what they do or they could be the marines the imperial marines. Although they never say that do they have marines in star wars. That's the that's the ultimate question. If if you are a soldier being transported on a navy ship. I think the navy carries army but the guards on a navy ship marines. We're gonna get so many letters from people explaining leagues Imperial all the people that have watched every episode of rebels and clone. Wars are going to yell at us about not realizing that admiral duca was a mccall's count. Do cu vice admiral. He's got that coop like beard. Anyway that brings us to the two officials general the us government that I'm most interested in officials general. I like that because they are in the jets. They serve on the justice department. There's the attorney general..

"What else workers united it. Somehow it just gives it an official imprimatur. It really does that. It wouldn't have it really does and it and it does feel at that point literary rather than functional right. it's it workers united and united workers. Yeah one sound so prosaic. Yeah and just like oh. It's just a bunch of maybe. That's because of milling around because it's the less common structure. It's a it becomes distinctive. It's how ranting it really is. Yeah i mean the abbreviation would still be a true. So you could. You could still say that. But i mean a lot of things. You could call a friends. Bill archaic the fact that it was used it came to us. A lot of these constructions came to us via the normans mean. They stuck around. Longer in fields and specialties. Where the educated norman french stuck around longer or was more embedded in the the terms of art for example yes all the sciences all the all the specialized professional fields even religion. For example. you have cleric speaking latin. The norman french. That's why we have life everlasting or god almighty we can still say everlasting life for almighty god. But it doesn't sound weird to us to do the post positive order there. You know the people that i hear this. Most from his alchemists. I every time i'm talking to a group of outcome assembly. Get your word order straight. I must take my my purple. And mix it with my elixir. Royal heraldry. you're joking. But heraldry is is a place where all the adjectives tend to come after you know if you describe. Somebody's coat of arms. It's going to have a bend sinister with a lion. Passant or a dragon rampant. I think ramp is when you're up on your i never. I don't know what all the things mean but it's a raw gets a lion rar royalty. Of course we mentioned it was what the kings of the norman dynasty would have spoken. And that's why we still have phrases like the prince regent right. The queen consort even the idea that we put retinal numbers entitled after ivan. The terrible or henry. The eighth you know. There's no reason it couldn't be the terrible ivan or the henry but but it's just borrowed from from the way the The original king spoke cuisine. You know we get a lot of our recipes from romance languages. So it's it's veal. Parmesan spaghetti bolognese. Not give me some of the volunteers spaghetti right taco supreme like. It's just you. It conveys something it's nicer than a supreme taco sounds weird. Yeah supreme taco. But i do wanna talk a supreme supreme taco might like curtail voting rights whereas a taco supreme just sour cream on it. But it's interesting that we would say that we would say that about a taco that it's taco supreme but we would not say that person Onto me an insult supreme. Right you know like it doesn't it. It doesn't sound like shakespearean right no. It didn't go all the way to permeate our language. it's really located. It's reserved for idols. Yeah coinages that are much closer to two norman. French or two to romantic culture. We hear burger supremo talking. I mean the kind of conveys mid twentieth century a burger royale but we still don't But right but it still doesn't sound. It's still has some kind of cool official sounding brand. Yeah it doesn't sound medieval no but it sounds like a subdivision outside of a philadelphia laws. Another common one where these norman french term stuck around and again. They just sound official malice. Aforethought not court court martials notaries public a lot of times. They're just phrases that stuck around because they became cliche time immemorial an heir apparent to trip the light fantastic. You know these these just only survive in a single context and there are some adjectives. The always go after an now even in english where that's unusual emeritus for example. The diplomat emeritus professor emeritus or galore. Extraordinary it's not grammatically correct to say we've got galore flowers or my wife is an extraordinary chef. Those those words have to come after. It's funny because i have had time immemorial on my list of potential omnibus topic really for a long time because just the concept of time immemorial in the way it's been used throughout history. What does that mean even remembered before. There were memorials to think so before we have records yeah right at a time stretching to infinity or time time into the darkness of time does it include. Would you say the present day part of time immemorial shouldn't i shouldn't give it away at your inch around this. Well yeah i mean we're kind of traipsing around it but but yeah it's it's here it's right in between laugh tracks and oral rehydration therapy on my list of of potential show ideas so you're not alphabetical. I guess no. Do you keep your show topics alphabetical. I keep them chronological but the problem then is it's always just like last in first out. You know there's stuff. I wrote months ago that i i can't even remember what it means anymore whereas the thing i thought of last week is what goes in. Probably the single. Most common use of post positive adjectives in english. The one field that just loves him to death is politics right. We still say the body politic as kind of a highfalutin way to refer to political processes and bodies it's so proximate to law yes and law loyalty and royalty and law and royalty really. The the normans really brought the hammer down in terms of if you think about all the all of our laws are derived from that period. English common law is the basis for a lot of american law. And do you remember. The recent kerfuffle over don't call biden president kind of a right we talk about. We don't call biden president-elect that term is nowhere to be found in an actual legal documents. President is a post positional adjective. The chosen president the elected president. But not yet what. What did the conservatives want to call president biden when he was i think they wanted to call him. President trump. It just didn't work out. There are examples like I mean this is gonna sound very old timey but on voi- extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. I love those titles but they always feel very turkish german. But that's not true. They were used in western europe. In fact they were used. I think up until modern kind of congress of the times or actually maybe more like league of nations united nations times kind of democratize the relationships between nations because what that conveyed back in the day was we only send our ambassador to the good countries. Everybody else gets an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. He has the full power of the of the head of state of the sovereign. He just doesn't represent he's not able to make his own decision in those mobs embassador is supposed to be. As if y- the is standing there ambassador doesn't have to call home and ask. Yeah and he has the full power to do all the things that he does not embodiment of the king. And the same way. I always wanted to be a minister-without-portfolio wouldn't that be great. It just seems like exactly the right job for me. It seems incredibly easy. Yeah all these other guys are. They have portfolio. They're always working through their portfolio. That seems they've got an inbox minister. Plenipotentiary however is not entirely out of date. The island of aruba still has a minister plenipotentiary in fact all the the dutch west indies aruba and curacao they send a minister plenipotentiary to whatever kind council is in charge in in the netherlands in charge of the dutch overseas territories right because they are still colonial possessions. Yes and so. That's the only place in the world where minister plenipotentiary still used. When these aruban and kris allen diplomats research report home to To i guess formerly surinamese independent now but before when it was still duckie on it would have had a minister plenipotentiary but by far the most common use of post positive adjective as we've already alluded to in political life is the blank general. The word the adjective general appearing after titles right. The united nations has a secretary general former many.
