|

|
||||
This train is sort of inbound.
|
||||
I'm praying for you.
|
||||
Sectors.
|
||||
My crime is that of outsmarting you.
|
||||
If you have not yet submitted your identity to the Retinal Clearance System.
|
||||
Communications, interface, online.
|
||||
You're not dealing with AT&T.
|
||||
Automatic medical systems engaged.
|
||||
Welcome to the Internet, my friend.
|
||||
How can I help you?
|
||||
Defense of a weapon selection system activated.
|
||||
Have a very safe day.
|
||||
From San Diego, California, I'm Draco Nubis.
|
||||
And from Florida, I'm Enigma.
|
||||
I guess today.
|
||||
Did you forget?
|
||||
I forgot my name this today.
|
||||
Well, how's it going down there besides that?
|
||||
Oh, not too bad.
|
||||
Are you happy I got your sound equipment?
|
||||
And I sound better now?
|
||||
Oh, do you hear a audience?
|
||||
Do you hear him?
|
||||
Are you ready for a miracle?
|
||||
Break my gimmicks?
|
||||
Oh, feel it, audience.
|
||||
Enigma, say something.
|
||||
Speak to the people.
|
||||
Raise your hand with what you did.
|
||||
Let's go outside to the bride.
|
||||
Or not?
|
||||
Oh, that was...
|
||||
That was good.
|
||||
That was perfectly timed.
|
||||
Yeah, audience.
|
||||
I have to plug...
|
||||
I have a sound board set up here for a different show.
|
||||
But I had to plug it in so I can route something into here for today.
|
||||
Because we have a special thing going on.
|
||||
So do you want?
|
||||
I still think we should add that sound board in our normal rotation.
|
||||
Yeah, we just need to get some clips.
|
||||
We need to have some things to say.
|
||||
The closest I can do is say, you know,
|
||||
it's important to have good audio.
|
||||
It matters a great deal.
|
||||
That's the best I got.
|
||||
But we need to get relevant to the show.
|
||||
Yes, yes, we do.
|
||||
Anyway, so what have you been up to, Drake?
|
||||
I have been mostly preparing to go on a road trip.
|
||||
And I've actually spent more time preparing for this show than preparing to go on the road trip.
|
||||
So whenever you're ready, I'll launch into a world of wonder.
|
||||
So are we talking about your topic tonight?
|
||||
Oh, yeah, we are.
|
||||
Oh, okay.
|
||||
That's why I had the sound board set up.
|
||||
It wouldn't be here otherwise.
|
||||
I'm cool with that.
|
||||
So I've just been working as my usual self, you know, cleaning the windows, mopping the floors.
|
||||
Yeah, cleaning the windows, mopping the floors.
|
||||
Do you have the rubber made mop from the last show?
|
||||
I do not have the rubber made mop.
|
||||
I should pick that up.
|
||||
But the hair nets and the socks.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
And I'm just going to go with the whole thing of me being a janitor because you're not going to let it drop.
|
||||
Because it's true.
|
||||
I'm just going to take it and roll with it.
|
||||
You know, I posted those pictures of you at mopping those windows.
|
||||
What do you call when you do the window thing?
|
||||
Squeegeeing the windows out.
|
||||
Yeah, you would know that's your job.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
I posted it.
|
||||
I walked right into that one.
|
||||
I must be tired.
|
||||
I didn't see that one coming.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Well, you know, I'm so far ahead that when I look back, I see me coming.
|
||||
Oh, do you?
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
How far ahead I am.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
I think we should just break right into it.
|
||||
Because I know you have places to be in things to do.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
I do.
|
||||
Well, tonight I want to talk to you about scanners, not the document kind, but the radio kind.
|
||||
You may not even have heard of this technology, but it is out there and I assure you it is fantastic.
|
||||
Kind of like a police scanner type deal.
|
||||
Exactly.
|
||||
Like a police scanner.
|
||||
In fact, a police scanner is just a subset of scanners that will only do police channels, but certain bands.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Although usually you can use the terms interchangeably.
|
||||
Well, I should explain what a scanner is.
|
||||
So in the air, there are radio waves floating around.
|
||||
And you can tune into them if you have a specific radio.
|
||||
Like Wi-Fi tunes to a certain band, 24, 2.4 gigahertz.
|
||||
Police use certain bands.
|
||||
Usually it's actually parry is not.
|
||||
If they're using a trunk system or depending on the jurisdiction.
|
||||
But there's a lot of stuff floating through the air.
|
||||
And if you have a scanner, it's almost like you have a radio that can work with any other radio.
|
||||
And you can tune into the frequency you want.
|
||||
Like the radio in your car goes from 89 to 100.
|
||||
And I think it's 102 or 107 in the US.
|
||||
It's like that only goes down to 25 and up to like 1300.
|
||||
So you get a lot of stuff to listen to.
|
||||
Oh, indeed.
|
||||
So why is this useful?
|
||||
Well, I'm not sure that it is.
|
||||
There is a thing you can do where you hit like the WX button.
|
||||
And it will give you that automated voice that tells you about the weather saying like,
|
||||
hurricanes approaching from north, south, hurricane.
|
||||
And you know, that automated weather voice.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
I know the automated weather voice.
|
||||
Well, you know, living living living in a hurricane or state.
|
||||
You know, you get used to the weather radios.
|
||||
I thought you meant like you just kept it all the time.
|
||||
Like man, the weather was not that important to me.
|
||||
No, no, no.
|
||||
But every every year, you know, you're so around August, you know, July August.
|
||||
It becomes actually we haven't had a major storm around here for a few years.
|
||||
But like one summer, we had like four in a row.
|
||||
You know, and all of them hit us.
|
||||
So it was just your house.
|
||||
No one else is a little tornado going around.
|
||||
No, no, no, no.
|
||||
It was just our area.
|
||||
I got, you know, slammed.
|
||||
You know, the central Florida, I guess.
|
||||
Well, that's good for your business.
|
||||
A lot of cleanup to do.
|
||||
A lot of windows to wash.
|
||||
Yeah, thanks.
|
||||
Appreciate it.
|
||||
Yes, but I suppose you could also argue that it's good for listening to the police
|
||||
or fire to see if they're doing their job or something.
|
||||
But I can't think.
|
||||
It's just a fun toy to have.
|
||||
Although interestingly enough, I just happen to be looking at the form you fill out
|
||||
if you want to say that you've seen a crime anonymously.
|
||||
And one of the things they ask you into the drug dealing section is,
|
||||
do you suspect that a police scanner is involved?
|
||||
So apparently they take the threat of drug dealers using police scanners to
|
||||
as a lookout very seriously.
|
||||
And I didn't actually think that was that, oh, prevalent.
|
||||
Well, you know, people being nosy, you know, wanting to, you know,
|
||||
police scanners or, you know, those type of scanners used to be available,
|
||||
you know, fairly easily to get a hold of, you know, radio shactor.
|
||||
Yeah, radio shack used to make some of the best ones,
|
||||
or not the best ones, but the cheapest ones.
|
||||
In fact, they actually have a radio shack scanner somewhere.
|
||||
Pick one up for like 50 bucks, you know, $57 and you know, off the way you go.
|
||||
They've lasted forever.
|
||||
You know, people using for NASCAR events too, but I suppose that begs the question.
|
||||
If you can listen to police and fire and all kinds of magic stuff as this legal,
|
||||
well, actually, yeah, in fact, it's not only is it legal,
|
||||
but it's considered almost like a right to bear arms things
|
||||
because people have challenged it in such a way that it's saying,
|
||||
oh, no, we get to have a checking balance on the police department.
|
||||
If they can break into our homes, we get to listen to what they're talking about,
|
||||
that kind of thing, or I guess a better example is if they can wire tap us,
|
||||
we can wire tap them sort of a thing.
|
||||
So it's actually very, very legal to have.
|
||||
The only exception is that they block out certain bands,
|
||||
like the old cellular band is blocked out, the modern core of this phone band is knocked out,
|
||||
so you can't listen to phone calls.
|
||||
And they have some interesting rules around it.
|
||||
Usually, if you commit a crime that involves a scanner, the penalty is higher,
|
||||
there are laws to what you can do with the information you find.
|
||||
You can't sell the information.
|
||||
You can talk about it, but you can't sell it.
|
||||
It took me a while to figure out what they were talking about,
|
||||
because what would you possibly hear that you'd want to sell?
|
||||
And it's for these companies that will like listen to taxi dispatch companies
|
||||
or like prostitute dispatch, or not prostitute,
|
||||
what I call escort dispatch services.
|
||||
They'll listen to that and they get a taxi or a girl at the destination faster
|
||||
and steal business from someone else by listening to a radio network like that.
|
||||
Yeah, so.
|
||||
And, you know, the taxi band, that's on there too, right?
|
||||
Like the...
|
||||
Yeah, no, you can do that.
|
||||
That's why they had to pass a law saying it's illegal to listen to them
|
||||
and then sell it to your taxi company, right?
|
||||
I'm sure there's plenty of fun and interesting information you can find out.
|
||||
Yes, you can.
|
||||
In fact, I have a couple of things programmed in tonight,
|
||||
and I'm listening to the scan around with one earpiece,
|
||||
waiting for something in particular.
|
||||
So when it comes, I'll jump into it because it's worth it.
|
||||
I just hope I can catch it.
|
||||
So if I start a little bit somehow, I get two conversations,
|
||||
although I start all the time anyway.
|
||||
Yeah, I know you do.
|
||||
It's okay.
|
||||
Well, I think faster than I talk,
|
||||
and right now I'm looking at all these levels,
|
||||
and there's pizza all over my notes, which are actually useless,
|
||||
so it doesn't really matter.
|
||||
Yeah, we can do just ramble.
|
||||
It's okay.
|
||||
It's okay, Drake.
|
||||
I know.
|
||||
So these things are easily available as we touched on earlier,
|
||||
and I suppose, you know, there's a lot out there,
|
||||
what do you want to look for?
|
||||
Well, you can buy the cheapest thing possible and be happy
|
||||
if you've never done this before.
|
||||
The only distinguishing feature really is that they have things
|
||||
like larger bands, certain extra bands are in there.
|
||||
A big thing is that the really expensive ones,
|
||||
like I have a BCT-15X made by Uniden,
|
||||
it's unbelievably great scanner.
|
||||
But what makes it so great is the way it can handle trunk systems,
|
||||
and trunk systems are a way of consolidating radios
|
||||
for both security and just performance
|
||||
on a certain given set of frequencies,
|
||||
because let's say you have an entire law enforcement agency,
|
||||
that would be a lot of frequencies
|
||||
if you wanted to have a bunch of police all talking to each other.
|
||||
Like if you wanted to find a certain, you know,
|
||||
just your partner or whatever,
|
||||
you and your partner would have to have, you know,
|
||||
just a certain set channel,
|
||||
and it consumes a lot of bandwidth.
|
||||
So what trunk systems do is they work on,
|
||||
and all the radios will share a set of frequencies,
|
||||
and when they transmit, they transmit out of code.
|
||||
It's usually called a talk code,
|
||||
it's a Motorola system or other code types.
|
||||
And you'll have a radio tune to say,
|
||||
well, unless a transmission comes in that begins with this code,
|
||||
don't open the speaker.
|
||||
So that way you only hear and can only talk to people
|
||||
in your particular talk a group.
|
||||
And if you tune to these frequencies without a scanner
|
||||
that can follow trunks,
|
||||
you just hear a bunch of random conversations
|
||||
because the radios are skipping around
|
||||
to whatever frequencies available,
|
||||
and you're hearing just all kinds of,
|
||||
the conversations don't flow.
|
||||
Yeah, we had a similar setup at,
|
||||
I worked at a correctional facility for a couple of years,
|
||||
and we had a, for all of our juvenile correction officers,
|
||||
they would carry a radio,
|
||||
which worked, you know,
|
||||
it was just basically a scanner that they could talk on.
|
||||
And like the master control,
|
||||
the ops area would be in this scenario
|
||||
that you were talking about,
|
||||
would basically just scan all the frequencies
|
||||
and could pop in and listen on any particular,
|
||||
you know, conversation.
|
||||
Yeah, that's about how they work.
|
||||
In fact, they make radios that are called a transceiver.
|
||||
Your quality just got really bad.
|
||||
Not as many.
|
||||
Stand by.
|
||||
Baby, come back.
|
||||
Yeah, you are.
|
||||
You sound like,
|
||||
we'll go back.
|
||||
Good to see.
|
||||
There was something.
|
||||
And everything.
|
||||
Nope, still rubber band.
|
||||
Yeah, really rubber band.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
You can play it all over me.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Anyway, now that we're back,
|
||||
I think we're just touching on trunk systems
|
||||
and how cool they are.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
There were a couple other features
|
||||
you might want to watch out for,
|
||||
like with the BCT-15X,
|
||||
you can actually plug it into your computer
|
||||
and control it with the computer,
|
||||
which is what I'm doing right now.
|
||||
And there are these really cool benefits to that,
|
||||
because there are sites like,
|
||||
am I going through a wind tunnel?
|
||||
What the hell?
|
||||
Oh, fascinating.
|
||||
Can you turn yours
|
||||
to only transmit when you're talking?
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
That's a lot better.
|
||||
That's a lot better.
|
||||
Okay, so.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
This time is government.
|
||||
So this time for real.
|
||||
This time for real.
|
||||
So trunk systems, that's a benefit.
|
||||
If you want to plug it in your computer,
|
||||
which is great,
|
||||
because there are all these sites
|
||||
where you can download trunk systems
|
||||
and frequency lists
|
||||
and just shove it into the scanner
|
||||
and that's wonderful.
|
||||
There are things like band scope,
|
||||
where you can say, look at bands,
|
||||
96 megahertz to 100 megahertz.
|
||||
It will scan each channel very fast
|
||||
and repeat the scan over and over
|
||||
and show you a peak graph
|
||||
of which channels are transmitting
|
||||
so you can hone in on things.
|
||||
There's a great feature called
|
||||
close call.
|
||||
It's branded differently
|
||||
amongst the different scanner manufacturers.
|
||||
But basically, devices exist
|
||||
that are called frequency counters,
|
||||
where when something starts transmitting,
|
||||
if you're close enough to it,
|
||||
it can count the frequency
|
||||
of the transmitting thing
|
||||
because it's so powerful
|
||||
that it almost kind of drowns everything
|
||||
out at close range.
|
||||
So with the close call,
|
||||
it's like a built-in frequency scanner.
|
||||
Where it waits for something
|
||||
nearby to transmit and then locks on to it.
|
||||
So you can be on the freeway
|
||||
and a cop can pull up next to
|
||||
and talk on this radio
|
||||
and your scanner automatically
|
||||
lock on to it.
|
||||
Which is very interesting.
|
||||
Yeah, it's very equivalent
|
||||
to used occasionally.
|
||||
You kind of forget it's on
|
||||
and it scares you.
|
||||
It makes a lot of noise.
|
||||
But that's about it on the features.
|
||||
If you just want to break into the field,
|
||||
just go on Craigslist
|
||||
or eBay, like 30 bucks,
|
||||
pick anything up.
|
||||
It's going to be fun.
|
||||
Good times.
|
||||
Good times indeed.
|
||||
Now we talked about trunk systems.
|
||||
So let me give you an example
|
||||
of some of the cool things
|
||||
you can do here.
|
||||
Let me do this.
|
||||
Hold on.
|
||||
That's it.
|
||||
That's all right.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
So there's a trunk system
|
||||
in place for SDG&E,
|
||||
San Diego Gas and Electric.
|
||||
And the individual talk groups
|
||||
are labeled.
|
||||
So if I lock on to one
|
||||
like a computer help desk,
|
||||
we usually get lucky
|
||||
about this time.
|
||||
So...
|
||||
Yeah, twice today I've got a method
|
||||
on my MDE that says
|
||||
A6, AX, 88, 772.
|
||||
The USC 2.0,
|
||||
the class ethernet adapter
|
||||
has exceeded the power limit
|
||||
of its hub port.
|
||||
Oh, I had that problem earlier.
|
||||
And what is that?
|
||||
This is San Diego Gas and Electric.
|
||||
No, I meant what is the whole
|
||||
exceeded power.
|
||||
Oh.
|
||||
That's an amperage thing.
|
||||
You just plugged that in today?
|
||||
Or have you been using that?
|
||||
For the exciting conclusion.
|
||||
Give me a favorite go to Start
|
||||
and then go to
|
||||
Pro panel.
|
||||
Well, they're actually doing
|
||||
troubleshooting over the air.
|
||||
These are just calling the phone here.
|
||||
Click on Hardware
|
||||
and it's the right manager.
|
||||
Yeah, that must be painful.
|
||||
Yeah, I'm surprised the guy didn't have that.
|
||||
The patient's carry privileges
|
||||
unsolved by the change
|
||||
properties of the device settings.
|
||||
Oh, because you're not an administrator.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
I need to come in this door
|
||||
to take a look at that.
|
||||
Yeah, really?
|
||||
Okay, let me call my dispatcher.
|
||||
Okay, now that.
|
||||
But so that's cool.
|
||||
So you can lock in on certain things
|
||||
and there are other people
|
||||
talking on the SDG network.
|
||||
But because I was only looking
|
||||
for them and I was looking
|
||||
across to range frequencies,
|
||||
I could find them
|
||||
and lock onto that.
|
||||
And similarly, I could do something like
|
||||
like I can grab onto.
|
||||
This is a fruit picking company.
|
||||
Of course.
|
||||
That's very stereotypical.
|
||||
Those migrant workers in San Diego.
|
||||
It could actually be Mexico.
|
||||
You know, we're on the border.
|
||||
But I think most of the fruit grows in San Diego.
|
||||
So yeah.
|
||||
If I was guessing it would be a migrant worker
|
||||
that came a little bit north of the border.
|
||||
Well, you can tell
|
||||
because they're always overmodulated
|
||||
when they talk.
|
||||
This is true for Mexican radio
|
||||
and for Arabic radio.
|
||||
Like whatever the guy's talking,
|
||||
they think it's close to the mic.
|
||||
It's like,
|
||||
and just really peak things out.
|
||||
It's obnoxious.
|
||||
You might want to be careful
|
||||
on the Arabic jokes.
|
||||
There are certain people
|
||||
that speak Arabic
|
||||
that listen to the show.
|
||||
No, no, that's not a...
|
||||
That's like saying that, you know.
|
||||
I'm just saying.
|
||||
I know.
|
||||
But that's like saying that in America
|
||||
we have really flashy news.
|
||||
And we do.
|
||||
We have people on Fox News.
|
||||
They're like half naked.
|
||||
Talking about...
|
||||
I don't know what Fox News talks about.
|
||||
Speaking of...
|
||||
I have a story later.
|
||||
So go ahead.
|
||||
Write it down so you don't forget.
|
||||
But ask her if it's true
|
||||
that radio stations in the Middle East
|
||||
are way overmodulated.
|
||||
She'll be like, yeah, it's really annoying.
|
||||
I don't know.
|
||||
You know, I just find it noisy.
|
||||
If she listens to this,
|
||||
she's going to smack me.
|
||||
But I just find the language very...
|
||||
That's so much worse than what I said.
|
||||
I said that they're overmodulated.
|
||||
You're like, I hate the language.
|
||||
I hate the people.
|
||||
I didn't say I called for...
|
||||
Oh, you're so going to get me in trouble.
|
||||
The audience can't tell.
|
||||
But he's burning a flag in the webcam.
|
||||
What is...
|
||||
What are you doing?
|
||||
Where'd you get that?
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
For those of you who don't know,
|
||||
you know,
|
||||
my girlfriend is...
|
||||
You don't say...
|
||||
Yeah, I don't say girlfriend.
|
||||
And they use the words interchangeably.
|
||||
Which she's probably going to hurt me for anyway.
|
||||
She is Lebanese.
|
||||
Thus, you know, we...
|
||||
Thus her language is annoying,
|
||||
and she's a bad person.
|
||||
Oh, man.
|
||||
Just see what you say.
|
||||
Damn it.
|
||||
Shut up.
|
||||
All right, move on.
|
||||
Before you get into any more trouble,
|
||||
okay, there's things like,
|
||||
let's quickly get off the topic.
|
||||
What's fun to listen to?
|
||||
Radio is fun to listen to.
|
||||
Oh, radio.
|
||||
Air, air traffic.
|
||||
Air traffic control.
|
||||
Air traffic control.
|
||||
Do it the unless 0 MAC to 4 the EX.
|
||||
For our conditions,
|
||||
0 MAC to 8.0.
|
||||
Or this is the military base.
|
||||
Sterbally 1.0.
|
||||
Fueled at 1,500.
|
||||
Temperature 2.1.
|
||||
2.1310 2.10
|
||||
Correct.
|
||||
Right.
|
||||
Yeah, I know.
|
||||
You never hit it down and learned...
|
||||
Obviously.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
But we're really listening to that...
|
||||
or actually, he风s.
|
||||
Right on the tips.
|
||||
That's actually what's called the,
|
||||
like, ATI S or 1.
|
||||
Say, that's a loops an recording that they...
|
||||
They change periodically?
|
||||
And it's proven pilots
|
||||
are approaching or...
|
||||
approaching or getting it for takeoff or what have you.
|
||||
They tune to that get all the information
|
||||
and then it loops for like 20 seconds
|
||||
and then they take off like I can actually
|
||||
there's a nearby airfield for,
|
||||
well, it's just, you know, it's an airfield,
|
||||
it's not an airport, just for people who own planes.
|
||||
If I walk onto that one, I have that one favorited,
|
||||
we should get a slightly different one
|
||||
but that will also loop.
|
||||
Come on, here.
|
||||
You think you had a favorited.
|
||||
Okay, nope, I thought I'd, oh, oh, I see what I'd do.
|
||||
Looking for an important information hotel.
|
||||
2253 sea of the weather.
|
||||
Wind, two, three, zero to eight,
|
||||
visibility, one, zero, straight to two, two, one,
|
||||
two point, one, four, out to two, two, two, two, eight, six.
|
||||
I almost certainly too read a book in use.
|
||||
So with the land, one way, two, three,
|
||||
landing in the department, one way, two, three.
|
||||
Notice there, I'm gonna be a T out of service.
|
||||
I'll fully back them off,
|
||||
towards the construction of a wind sound,
|
||||
it's interquired with your call sign,
|
||||
advise you of information, hotel.
|
||||
Hotel?
|
||||
Yeah, that's part of the, the phonetic alphabet,
|
||||
I know the alphabet, Bravo, Charlie, Delta.
|
||||
Yeah, but it's hotel.
|
||||
Yeah, well, did you get what he was saying there?
|
||||
It's actually, I think it might have been breaking up for you,
|
||||
but it would have played well for me.
|
||||
Yeah, what they do is each time they recording,
|
||||
okay, that's it, things changed on your side.
|
||||
Oh, never mind, crazy things were happening.
|
||||
But the, it's in one of those nights.
|
||||
The recording is updated every so many minutes,
|
||||
like every time, I think it's a periodical thing.
|
||||
So you have to say which recording you're listening to
|
||||
so that the air traffic controller knows
|
||||
if you had information that's now outdated.
|
||||
And what he said, I can actually walk you through
|
||||
because I have a passing experience with my father,
|
||||
has a pilot's license and my grandfather worked for
|
||||
very, very high up in a certain airline.
|
||||
But what he said was this was recording hotel.
|
||||
There's no, or these things always going.
|
||||
And he said the time was two, two, five, three.
|
||||
That's on a 24 hour clock.
|
||||
So two, two, colon, five, three, wind, two, oh,
|
||||
wind, two, oh, three at eight,
|
||||
means that the wind is a two, oh, three
|
||||
that kind of compass needle.
|
||||
And it's at eight knots, the actual speed of it.
|
||||
And then he said the visibility,
|
||||
which is at the different cloud levels,
|
||||
the temperature he gave, the dew point and the altitude.
|
||||
I don't remember them.
|
||||
I do remember he said the altitude is on a 29.86,
|
||||
which is not, I'm sorry, that the altimeter is 29.86 thing.
|
||||
That's not a scale.
|
||||
It's a measurement of how much mercury is being used
|
||||
and it affects your altimeter measurement.
|
||||
So you need to know all the measurements
|
||||
and then how they were measured.
|
||||
So they include the 2.86.
|
||||
And occasionally it's millimeters or millibars
|
||||
or hektopast cows, whatever the other language is.
|
||||
I have no idea what a hektopast cow is.
|
||||
I only remember because of the programming language.
|
||||
And then he just finishes up with the runway two,
|
||||
three is for landing and departing.
|
||||
He said that they do not have GPS assisted landing available
|
||||
and that all instructions have to be read back to the controller.
|
||||
And then I'm pretty sure he said I missed landing
|
||||
to tell the controller that you've read
|
||||
that you've heard of a recording hotel, so.
|
||||
Got it, okay.
|
||||
Now you know how to land a plane.
|
||||
Oh, yeah, I'll be doing that in my spare time.
|
||||
Yeah, well, I've always wanted a princess to fly.
|
||||
Oh, the thing I've been waiting for all night
|
||||
just showed up on a second patch.
|
||||
10, 4, 10, 25.
|
||||
4, 2, 8, 2.
|
||||
And police or no, no?
|
||||
4, 2, 8, 2, 9, 3, 2, 8, 0, 8, 7, 0, 3, 5, 4, 5.
|
||||
Expression one of 13.
|
||||
Billion zip is nine two one two three numbers on the back.
|
||||
Two four, two, three, five, nine, six.
|
||||
That's wrong.
|
||||
The amount is 93, 50, 93, 4, 5, oh.
|
||||
So what do you want to guess that is?
|
||||
I'm not.
|
||||
That would probably be a credit card number.
|
||||
That's an incredibly irresponsible company
|
||||
that I don't want to, I don't want to give away either.
|
||||
I need to write them a letter and say not to do this one.
|
||||
But they have people in the field.
|
||||
And those people need to be able to process credit cards.
|
||||
And to do that, they radio the credit cards back to HQ.
|
||||
And there you go.
|
||||
So you could just sit here all day and collect credit cards.
|
||||
In fact, if you go into other frequencies,
|
||||
I can probably find a couple more before the night is over.
|
||||
But that's just what any of these be like a transportation
|
||||
company, perhaps?
|
||||
Yeah, yeah, it would be.
|
||||
Yeah, I'm thinking so.
|
||||
But so that's I, you know, they make mobile units.
|
||||
So they can they cost a little bit, but they go in the car
|
||||
and you can swipe the credit card and there you go.
|
||||
Yeah, I've seen them, but I've also seen.
|
||||
You've seen this practice.
|
||||
I've seen this in practice.
|
||||
What's really bad is they give you all the information you need.
|
||||
They give you the numbers in the back, the expiration date.
|
||||
And more importantly, they give you the billing zip code.
|
||||
People don't know this.
|
||||
The way cards do validation the way they tell if you're like making
|
||||
an illegal transaction is that you need to have the correct
|
||||
billing zip code.
|
||||
So if I have your credit card, Nigma, and I use it,
|
||||
but I don't know your billing zip code, it will look fraudulent
|
||||
and suspicious and you're not liable for it.
|
||||
It's not even the name.
|
||||
You don't need the name.
|
||||
You can put any name you want.
|
||||
Like try to try to ask anybody something with a credit card.
|
||||
Use the name like, you know, Dick Cheney, you know,
|
||||
we'll go through just fine.
|
||||
But if the billing zip code is wrong,
|
||||
that's what trips up the whole thing.
|
||||
Yeah, and I'll just put a disclaimer here.
|
||||
We do not approve of any ill will.
|
||||
Yeah, no, yeah.
|
||||
Just disclaimer, big red disclaimer.
|
||||
Yeah, but I just, I thought it makes sense.
|
||||
That's pretty cool, but yeah, that was pretty cool.
|
||||
I'll grant it, but very, very bad.
|
||||
Extremely back, extremely unethical, extremely unmoly people
|
||||
need to, I'll write them a letter after the show, I think.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
Small tangential, a tangential relationship.
|
||||
I know someone who does use to program the algorithms
|
||||
for credit card fraud detection systems.
|
||||
Do you want to know the number one thing you can do
|
||||
to just instantly kill your card
|
||||
with suspicious activity?
|
||||
What's that?
|
||||
If you buy three tanks of gas,
|
||||
and ask me three tanks, almost three full tanks,
|
||||
and then buy a pair of sneakers, your card will be dead,
|
||||
and you have to call and get it reactivated.
|
||||
Why three tanks of gas and a...
|
||||
Because that isn't like 90 something percent
|
||||
of all illicit transactions.
|
||||
Someone finds a card on the ground.
|
||||
They fill up their gas tank.
|
||||
They go, man, this is cool.
|
||||
They call their friends, fill up the friends gas tank,
|
||||
and then they go out and buy expensive shoes.
|
||||
Why shoes?
|
||||
I think the people that...
|
||||
Oh, ripin' me into it.
|
||||
Because I think that in the hip hop and gangster
|
||||
and like a black and Mexican culture,
|
||||
that shoes are a big deal.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
So, well, no, that's...
|
||||
It's just alienated some of our audience,
|
||||
but that's okay.
|
||||
Well, there, it's true.
|
||||
It's this is programmed into the system
|
||||
for just this reason.
|
||||
It's a statistic.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
Alienating our audience, but that's okay.
|
||||
I'm cool with that.
|
||||
I'd like to know if we have any people
|
||||
who deal credit, or wait.
|
||||
Well, no mind.
|
||||
But...
|
||||
Be careful.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Had any rate.
|
||||
So, that's all of the fun with scanners.
|
||||
That's all I got.
|
||||
Maybe if I can do something like this,
|
||||
hold on a second.
|
||||
Oh, you know, let's try, please.
|
||||
We haven't done police all night.
|
||||
Where's...
|
||||
Dude, at 315, you put on a CCW call.
|
||||
Inside the Starbucks mail told the ARC's supervisor...
|
||||
Now, he had a gun because he was in one territory,
|
||||
and he's a critic.
|
||||
Hmm.
|
||||
Try to get a description of it.
|
||||
That ship, again, should be inside Starbucks.
|
||||
Inside the Starbucks...
|
||||
Wait, wait.
|
||||
At 20, at 60, I'll divert from this call over there.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
That's just embarrassing.
|
||||
Hmm.
|
||||
So, that's my whole deal.
|
||||
Uh, we can go ahead and end the show here.
|
||||
Do you have anything to add?
|
||||
You said that you had something earlier?
|
||||
Yes, I have something earlier on the...
|
||||
Along the lines of...
|
||||
We were talking about Middle East and...
|
||||
Um, Plexi's on a world tour.
|
||||
She's actually in China for a few days at a conference.
|
||||
And...
|
||||
Ask her if poor people spend a lot of money on shoes.
|
||||
I will.
|
||||
I will do that.
|
||||
It's like Rims for a car.
|
||||
You see this happen.
|
||||
And I've been getting her to take payphone pictures
|
||||
around the world.
|
||||
So, I've got some...
|
||||
I've got some payphone pictures here.
|
||||
And I might post a couple of them up.
|
||||
I have no idea where this is from.
|
||||
But it's a blue and yellow phone.
|
||||
It looks really ugly.
|
||||
Is it really big and obnoxious?
|
||||
It is really big and obnoxious.
|
||||
Yeah, Middle East.
|
||||
Thanks.
|
||||
Middle East or an Asian country?
|
||||
Um, I'm thinking it's probably Cairo.
|
||||
She was in...
|
||||
She had like a 10-hour layover in...
|
||||
In Egypt.
|
||||
So...
|
||||
In Cairo.
|
||||
Really?
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
Yeah, I heard...
|
||||
Not the dangerous place to be.
|
||||
She went out to see the pyramids.
|
||||
Oh.
|
||||
Oh.
|
||||
They're trying all the...
|
||||
I could just describe it into it.
|
||||
Yeah, you could have.
|
||||
But anyway.
|
||||
Um, so...
|
||||
You know, they should really put the nose back on the sphinx.
|
||||
So I...
|
||||
So I might have some payphone pictures
|
||||
to post up in the show notes.
|
||||
I wonder if the sphinx talks funny
|
||||
because it doesn't have a nose?
|
||||
Maybe it does.
|
||||
And, um...
|
||||
I, uh...
|
||||
I'm gonna submit a couple to the 2600,
|
||||
but I might post a couple this for kicks.
|
||||
Anyway.
|
||||
Um...
|
||||
Because you know that 2600 does the whole payphone pictures
|
||||
from around the world, right?
|
||||
The international payphone thing.
|
||||
From around the world.
|
||||
Yeah, payphone pictures from around the world.
|
||||
I have some Australia ones too from last year
|
||||
when I was in Australia.
|
||||
Oh.
|
||||
Fine.
|
||||
Yeah, that will be the uh...
|
||||
the end of the show.
|
||||
Uh...
|
||||
Go to the uh...
|
||||
site hackradiolive.org.
|
||||
Greatest site in the universe.
|
||||
And...
|
||||
HackerpoplaGradio.org.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
That's the greatest site in the universe.
|
||||
That's the greatest site in the universe.
|
||||
Second greatest site.
|
||||
Come on now.
|
||||
I'm...
|
||||
Your show exists because of me.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
I'm so pissed that your Alexa ranking is higher.
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
First of all, our show exists because of you.
|
||||
But um...
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
All right.
|
||||
Our show exists because of...
|
||||
Yeah.
|
||||
That's a distinction that matters a great deal.
|
||||
It matters a great deal.
|
||||
That's right.
|
||||
I'm gonna enjoy that soundboard, by the way.
|
||||
Can I have some remote?
|
||||
Can I have some remote capability on that soundboard?
|
||||
Yeah, you know, I have...
|
||||
I have Jake working on a thing.
|
||||
But these things that are so great.
|
||||
Now, that snake has been infected by deadly toxins
|
||||
from cancer-infested rats.
|
||||
All right.
|
||||
We're done for today.
|
||||
Okay.
|
||||
See you next Tuesday, everybody.
|
||||
Please do a talk.
|
||||
Amen.
|
||||
The science will do.
|
||||
And I look up.
|
||||
There it makes me glad I love you.
|
||||
I have experiments to learn.
|
||||
There is research to be done.
|
||||
I know people who are still alive.
