utterance-id1 [noise] [noise] <unk> have you heard the <unk> people who create them i'm george carlin and uh we were in the new orleans we have <unk> novel and over and in uh i mean california we have david <unk> peterson [noise] [laughter] that's probably a little like but uh you get the idea that that that your your yes no breeding david indeed and i noticed we say here in southern california <unk> nah [laughter] all right so uh at least there's maybe sort of wondering why regular who who's not on right now and what uh so what exactly on on what well they're sort of a special episode um last month we had me the annual ah language creations by friday members meeting and uh we had some i'm sure election and so david stepped down and now it's being new president congratulations thank you very much [noise] thank you thank the lord mhm [noise] and and in addition i also became a vice president after drawn to kinda stuck down ooh [laughter] [noise] was trying to downplay it i was staying at my graduation cheap [laughter] thank you [noise] mhm so you know some big changes yup yup and uh you know david deny and and uh we're all talking and we wanted to make two ah sort of pushed out something on on larry due to uh have uh we're talking about it sort of a passing the torture so why don't we talked about um like what <unk> uh things that we're getting involved with [noise] things that the <unk> yup getting involved with um and you know what what sort of things are in your vision crystal well basically uh getting used position so it's gonna take a lot of uh uh everyone on the on the board is already uh annoyed me for pushing so many emails to all kinds of idea let's see [noise] sure yeah it's very <unk> alright let's drive reds are very long in your mouth yeah good that's one of the reasons why i like it [laughter] i always say uh uh um oh we're going to be thrown winded but people just ah just love to talk about [laughter] they can trust you with [laughter] of it but um <unk> <unk> they're um they're all things into pipeline but ah before i make a big announcements that wants to uh to <unk> to have something more how'd you say that well concrete present and the thing i can talk about ah right now that i talked to the east idea over stock thing uh quarterly newsletter yeah oh that's neat that's uh yeah just because not all members of the people that have gone to a um on the side orange sweets or or <unk> or whatever so they don't always get older the news about what's happening in the <unk> world at the moment so i thought she took the nice thing we are just just the <unk> the newsletter where would we would uh [noise] some of the current events of the last quarter and the <unk> or or or um some <unk> er what we've been doing a b._s. that keep the members ah ah an overview off or what they can get out of their membership and if we have a new uh service to them and i mean that's uh that's not a good idea like that especially the ah the announcer <unk> as i know it was kind of [noise] i feel kind of philly one of the <unk> i think they did was i got uh <unk> yeah <unk> and nobody knew it and then nobody at one [noise] [laughter] yeah and i wonder yeah that's one of the things that that are is important what the newsletter like something we were we were discussing you're not just the <unk> news services but also reminding people uh services and we already happened just sort of giving a service to members to remind them that we're you know don't here and doing things [noise] i like it a good idea i'm all i'm already just pick okay thanks er <unk> that's that's really cool mhm oh so that's the one thing i can i can mention and uh the <unk> already cooked somewhat to uh to to work on each other we left [noise] i i will help the plan is to have the <unk> newsletter where <unk> newsletter out in may [noise] [noise] i liked i liked it a lot [laughter] especially why not you know the word it any more i don't have to do you think [laughter] oh man it's really like i <unk> i look look like christmas [noise] thank you [laughter] [laughter] yeah i guess i get to do all the housework [laughter] to sit in south in just just wrap and just enjoy your work in your in your retirement how or read a retirement your title the what the <unk> if you uh uh it's actually a retirement <unk> air ship um and ah it got a peacock commander [laughter] are there are there you know all manner of artwork devices are scraping in from from uh rule tiny more coney radio <unk> uh well in a fashion we have something that uh so advanced it make uh google crow looked like netscape and i'm actually in what i what i call i'll watch it and you're paid to interact with old technology which is um which looked about it's comical it's if you were <unk> pull up in a._o._l. chat room um on google chrome now so you know yeah we we've got we've got a <unk> a hundred percent clean energy loves running these wheel everything is great [laughter] [noise] then you're talking about a little bit like i know that i i kept hearing tons of random you know you you are involved in so many different projects now william or not [noise] who am i thinking of why am i thinking of <unk> david yeah yeah well <unk> well you <unk> [laughter] yeah you're the i i caught lying for no i can't talk about that anyway [laughter] no but david i keep hearing sort of suddenly i was reading the news about or or two and suddenly oh david <unk> language and i'm like wait a minute i didn't hear about this [laughter] [noise] yeah so so you have so you were you're stepping back a little bit because you have tons of project to do [noise] yeah pretty much i'm just ah filter the guilt and so um that kind of what happened you know when i when i took over the hill yes presidency ah i had a few goals uh your major goal and i think i met some of them uh one of them were high to dial back <unk> yeah a little bit uh within the <unk> and unity <unk> it'd it'd <unk> reputation that it shouldn't have and so i thought what is the best thing to do was <unk> <unk> yeah <unk> <unk> be sure that we could uh put out the <unk> the <unk> the main positive are are like are are earning gigantic project contribution [noise] and then you'll do think that they're not the uh the vocal about [noise] and the things that we weren't <unk> i think that that uh what's that old but um the thing that that became more and more difficult with that was finding out or figuring out what it is it the <unk> you could do in general for the <unk> like immunity and then also for membership um and that became something that was a real <unk> presidency especially towards the end i got it here because then i couldn't devoted much attention to the earth and consequently we we didn't do it much [laughter] so um so it it it really came to a point at that time where um i wasn't given the <unk> the proper attention that it hurts edge a little time i was given to eighty without taking away from [noise] from all this other stuff i'm doing um among the project there's still working on game what's wrong and translate for that i i i've got three languages that created <unk> defiant and job that actually usually takes up all my time throughout the year because i do more than just simple translation that many general insulting and also artwork and things like that um this past year i created a language and didn't translation for a show called starcraft for each of you and i started work and i'm doing a language and translation for a show called uh gym indian hi fi that'll be out either at the end of this year next year on how the schedule it [noise] um and i i did do a language for the war um joy uh doing some work on another movie coming out next year um and then i'm i'm writing this book right all right and then there a couple other maybe [noise] that are on the table right now um an idle the book kids uh uh oh yeah oh <unk> uh how to book on <unk> right yeah we we can talk about that but maybe uh push that offer minute um 'cause i i i went i also wanna focus on his point um i remember that one of the things that uh regarding the h._b._o. job um members will know but maybe an inch in the bulk of the <unk> you should know maybe not everybody knows that the way that that happened and h._b._o. contracted uh through the language creation um and then the lakers <unk> put put together what in effect with the contract <unk> side by side where everybody who wanted to could apply um and then the the winter at the end with design rocky <unk> uh when it wouldn't out in the way it was it wasn't now i think there was a large section of the kind of like community that didn't take it seriously and thought that it was kind of just you know a wacky show brought out you know those of us that didn't you know eventually found out what it was about <unk> what area but the the way that that contact with died there was no talk into it so anybody who was participating could create whatever they want it which meant that the job was probably going to go to the most desperate person had the most free time who also had you know the rap with these con light yeah um and that person was always going to be me because i was out of a job that time i had nothing else to do it with summer and i would [noise] duper desperate and i was also an okay caught later i was i mean it wasn't like crazy that i was applying you know looking at the level of talent that um and so it was kind of an unfortunate profit because there was a lot of really good work it was created that ended up getting thrown out because the only person that can do anything with their work with me the person that eventually got the job everything else was covered by the n._b._a. and technically own <unk> but they're not going to do anything with it um they can't even presented and say this is what my those rocky catch what it looks like which is too bad 'cause there was a really incredible um and and one of the things that i that <unk> <unk> it's the result of this job me getting the death rocky job that i you know <unk> become another marko <unk> i think it would have been a failure um and in many ways i think that is what happened i think it was a failure i think it was a big failure i think that was kind of like yup yup first step into the realm and i think it was the wrong one i think it would have done the wrong way and that sort of result what i mean you know in some ways uh you know it worked out for h. b. o. l. i mean how wouldn't it they actually got a budget con layers doing their best work uh on <unk> and got to choose whichever one they want it um but it didn't work out so well from the <unk> yeah i think the thing that happened was the intention was good the attention intention was to create toward um ameritech accredited sort of standard you select con language or these kinds of position [noise] but in the end that was it went from <unk> before that it was if people wanted to read a language they went to <unk> or i think later paul bremmer <unk> well it would probably before or after that i'm sure it was two thousand night so like that it was basically a few months after like i had gotten little crappy job that's when it came out but in in other words it was like the either they go to my girlfriend or they they blindly look in linguistics department yeah after it it was more continuation um now if they wanted language they look they <unk> <unk> or <unk> or you so it's not that one word man or they look blindly and linguistic department which is what they did for superman so um so what other than that i wanted to do with uh you know as soon as i became president that actually really one of the <unk> <unk> it's really becoming <unk> what's your completely change that process um and i did and um basically i set up the process and i made it so that the <unk> people could only three pages at work maximum and each page had a function of it it can just do three pages or whatever [laughter] that'd be page one had on it they should like history and that um it certainly would not going to be the the best way to present everything that <unk> if you do but i think that they could come up with in an afternoon or over the weekend and so that if they didn't get the job they didn't spend two months working on all of this material that they didn't do anything with you know where they just came up with <unk> <unk> what should i think the way that it should go [noise] um but that process itself was really it was really kind of awkward it and uncomfortable for me um actually what happened with uh the producers wanted me to do the job they they called the nix the typically wanted me to do the language uh because they'd heard of me and you know and that's the way it goes [noise] and i kept on saying no i don't watch uh do that i want you to go through this process and our like our iraq and then like i think eventually ah ultimately the way that that got sign off on was it had to be in the contract that if i wanted to i could apply for the job um which i didn't um and i also said that if for some reason the con linger that got hired fell down on the job i would guarantee them personally not the <unk> yeah i would <unk> even personally i would come in and finish the job anyway i agree to this because i knew who was applying i knew they were good and i knew that they wouldn't they wouldn't let them out anyway um so that's uh that's how that eventually that's how that kind of worked out and then in the end you know they they chose somebody and they did do good work for them but the whole time i was really kind of awkward position and basically it kept on being that way i would be contacted by various people thing you know we want we want you to do that [noise] that i would be like sign them all hey here's the other thing that you can do and i think you should really do that and you're like well that's not what we want [noise] um and then like this was adding my workload that's i'm trying to constantly convince people to not hire me yeah to hire the <unk> going to get them somebody that's also good that they don't know but then they have to go through our rules crop that um and and not only that it's like and even if i don't like the job or thought it would be interesting there's no way i could hardly apply for it because they would come down to a point at the end where they were gonna have to know where they're high they're not gonna hire a random person without even knowing that they're going to know who's there and there's no way that my reputation can play a role in that um [laughter] i mean even if let's say even if there were there were down to final two and the other person's worked with lightly better than mine um it just came to a point where having my name attached to it and ugly having game of thrown name attached to it would bring the project so much publicity that they would much rather go with me because they know that even if it wasn't as good at this other person i would do the job and [noise] you know they can have all this extra publicity or whatever that they wanted to do [noise] um and as a result we actually lost a few jobs which i feel very bad about oh that that's on i didn't well you know things happen you think that any way we we <unk> we do have several jobs taking care of the point is now that i am the oh and there's one more aspect to that because i was in my roland l. yep president i couldn't comment on anybody so i couldn't say you know this person is going to be a really good person for the job i couldn't do that because i'm pregnant and i had to be equal unfair [noise] uh now that i'm not affiliated with [laughter] yes at all i can actually consults on these things and i can and and i can say you know go go through the <unk> you got jobs poured it and if you need to make like um if your if your dad will final two or three <unk> like they're um uh-huh and that and and they're my word is actually worth nothing and i can use it um it's not fair but that [noise] one thing that i discovered about hollywood it's not interested in being fair [noise] we can try or bet [noise] we can try are bad but they're institution it's much larger and much older than ours um yeah i think the main thing yeah like sort of we had lots of discussion on the board about what to do about it in the future and we came to the conclusion that what we were trying to do was basically like run a con language guild mhm but hollywood would have to go to yeah but there's just not enough demand more con lying and you know <unk> or not you know you you wouldn't need much more demand for it and we would need to be able to you might calm liners [noise] around that and it didn't work out you would <unk> we would need we would need to have like a whole other organization and we weren't equipped to do that so we've stepped away from that and i by the way i think that that it it could possibly work but it would need to be a separate organization it would probably uh it would definitely need to not be affiliated with deal yeah and it might be a core crop it oh okay yeah so like make a <unk> harm yeah where where you employ people to actively go search out jobs and for a job that aren't available to try to convince people hey you could actually use the coddling here and it would be better and we have people that can do the work they can do it fast i can do it right anymore prove your product [noise] we need something like that but it's not something that the <unk> yeah <unk> that's something that i knew at the moment but ah yeah well well yeah but it's an idea that hopefully we can hang on here but we we are so anyway we are moving away from that but we are doing some things and it's not just going to be the newsletters but but <unk> no mention no and i want to know um [noise] a few more balls india but like i said i'm i'm i'm not ready to announce anything before we have something concrete right then that's where <unk> <unk> would be uh we'll actually be useful [noise] so um i kinda know the newsletter because that's a simple thing which i think which is twenty implement that i think we'd already seen uh a bit of a of a gap that yeah the f._b._i. <unk> in regards to er communication and that's that's what i'm focusing on right now but there are a lot more uh going on and i hope that the next shoe moment for me it would be able to uh to announce quite a few or a few a news service members [noise] <unk> ah yeah no uh uh to uh [noise] well yeah and fight and fight over weight [laughter] by the way bless you for not announcing things that are ready because that happened before <unk> yeah uh and i always had to transfer so <unk> [laughter] [laughter] yeah yeah yeah yeah i <unk> [laughter] but that may be my ah my background is an engineer i'm used to <unk> to only saying things when i'm when i'm really ready to prove to prove that they're on they're excellent excellent so that's uh central differently [laughter] doing things [noise] but yeah that's quite interesting to hear what you said and it's actually quite into what side like the <unk> to ah to turn around and doing stuff to <unk> to to serve the community doesn't need to be in the spotlight but that's <unk> that's the thing is he in fact if they have a niece that's we have all kinds of surveys and stuff they could use to make it to ah outside of <unk> uh if you ever have uh some things that could be and hand by using a <unk> <unk> just contacts and will find a way to put you through to the best uh <unk> available that could be for your for your project [laughter] the <unk> you can uh can become a good place for it [laughter] it's kind of thing i <unk> i think i would be ah i've <unk> i've can die happy [laughter] at the very least we still have the job for a very good resource and um and there are i mean the ball in the air and they are flying but uh so uh we will be um one thing that i want to make a note of where i ended up so i i did sort of hijack the pot cats make some some announcements puppy <unk> yeah but and i am now vice president but i will i do on a trip that uh online or you're still my personal project so i'm not only connected to you know in so much as uh me and william are connected to the yup yup so [noise] um don't be worried about becoming b. l. yet <unk> again but uh other than that but you know i might invite these guys back on my <unk> my personal back on and have have uh talk about some up to the future beat uh internationally or just on that on just about to <unk> uh uh of the stuff i mean uh i mean there's just no <unk> yeah we're we're on a conscious here and uh i may be the f._b._i. sprint that's about uh <unk> uh first i'm a <unk> that's what i'm gonna say yeah and i don't know what's going to <unk> because i have a <unk> on the country of course not yeah oh by the way i just wanted to mention what my one of my other gold michael actually well before he became president was basically stuck in the l. e. s. bored with ah with people i thought would be really really good which is why that uh for example george and william watch from <unk> sail board members that were not an accident neither within an accident <unk> orange member now president or <unk> or <unk> or um jessy sam our new board never on so delighted to have um [noise] i <unk> i just basically you're worth of chess master you have the plan and we were i think so that the yard [laughter] they loved it it wasn't an accident and i'm happy to set an outlet but like just standing back and seeing the people that are on the else yeah sport i couldn't be i couldn't be born to light it i couldn't be happier with with the direction scott but yeah so yeah indeed the course uh georgia ah pet project couldn't remain so but um i was going to napa potentially [noise] [laughter] uh yeah well yeah but you know it's true for the con line community in the <unk> the big uh a big piece of that well anyway uh it that's about all i think we need to talk about in less than anybody else [noise] like final <unk> if they want to um check out i'm like wait on check check out christa <unk> if you don't know <unk> for example if you're not on the <unk> uh then you may not have heard of him a check out his language ah low extent or <unk> <unk> we fit mountain in english but m. o. t. e. n. [noise] it's an incredible incredible language and chris rock and a credible art later so if you're at he'd been around you know the collie community for ages so if you haven't looked it up uh please give it language elect mhm thank you very much uh uh uh <unk> uh uh my <unk> beef uh [laughter] uh uh jumping readership [laughter] will be very small [laughter] yeah [laughter] [noise] <unk> not expecting that much the readership at the moment it's not that big either [laughter] anyway and uh uh just for a baby <unk> um uh just want you to say about <unk> once you're out and you become incendiary reached the ah the media made [noise] just don't forget your friends [noise] i never <unk> because you guys all are my friends and uh i i've heard of the reason i love being on the hill so much of my pet peeves donations to be be would be nice nice [noise] donation to me to buy some butter [noise] found a couple of mine would be nice to [laughter] i'll i'll i'll send the peak october they'll fix things right up for ya [laughter] um i think i've found on fame here [laughter] [noise] all right um uh [noise] with all that time just want to say happy combine thank you for listening to <unk> you could find our our cars a journalist that congress dot com you can send questions comments for topic we're featured language suggested to con lying or e. i. g. e. mail dot com [noise] to submit upon langhorn outlying breeding for the top of the show see our contribute paid for detail [noise] web space for online <unk> provided by the language creation society and our team music is by no divide [noise]
