A multidimensional intro (in so many ways). Dr. Strange was a cool movie. Is a hope an idea? Ryan tells an interesting story while I rudely eat popcorn. The Phonautograph, the first ever audio recording device, invented by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville and patented in 1857. In this episode we include the first EVER recording, made using the phonautograph, in 1860. It’s a French lady singing Au Clair de la Lune. This is the earliest known recording of sound to be played back as well as the earliest known recorded sound confirmed to be playable, predating Frank Lambert’s 1878 recording of a talking clock by nearly two decades and the Edison Company’s 1888 phonographic recording of a Handel concert by nearly three. Ryan popped his head on the chin-up bar on the upskip. He’s got a bag of frozen brussel sprouts on his head. I throw one like a hot potato (even though it’s a frozen brussel sprout). Some shout-outs. John from UKshire (happy birthday, UK J!) Consider my self’s back patted.

As you may know, on March 14th, Lhasa Tibet erupted in riots after days of anti china demonstrations which began March 10th, the anniversary of a failed 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule. Today is the 25th of March and things are still extremely volatile, though just how volatile is unclear since foreign journalists are forbidden from entering Tibet.

Soccergirl, Incorporated’s own Ryan P. Murray, visited Tibet in July of last year. We thought this would be a good time to put together a pre-riot Tibet documentary from his video footage. I hope it will give you some sense of the landscape and the history so that maybe you’ll feel a little bit more like it’s a real place instead of just this ephemeral idea of a place from the news. The situation there is terrifying and complicated and we should all be paying very close attention.

– Read about Tibet.

A collection of resources from both sides of the issue:

– Tibet.org, Official Website of the Central TIbetan Administration, Freetibet.org, History on 20th Century China and Tibet (includes some pro-China perspectives on the struggle, which I don’t support but find very interesting), A New York Times perspective, some fascinating Flickr pictures (there is some graphic stuff).

If you know of more websites I should be linking to here, please let me know.

This is me puking all over promotion. I got a job as a bartender because I am a working man who has to pay for stupid shit like health insurance. You know, a few forward thinking and awesome companies aside (cough, Godaddy), most companies don’t want to advertise on SGI because I say “fuck” and “suck it” and “dick me” and stuff like that. But I can’t figure out why it bothers them so much. Do they think some effing conservative homemaker somewhere is going to hear the show and say, “OH MY GOD, Coke is advertising on there and she says pussy and I”m not drinking Coke now!”? That bitch doesn’t give a shit about me and my stupid show. Not that I’ve lost a sponsorship from Coke specifically, but you get my point. You think God is real. I think that’s pretty retarted (yes, I spell that wrong on purpose). Apparently SGI has two listeners (Ryan and Nat) who are working on their PhD’s in the field of horticulture. They’ve both written me emails which I share in this episode. The Objective Ministries, an unbelievable hoax that totally fooled me. I don’t hate christians but I do hate dogma and hypocrisy… I call it DOGPOCRISY! I am going to be attending The Amazing Meeting, a skeptic’s conference in Vegas (which is AMAZING!) Come hang out with me if you’re going to be in Nevada then. I’m reading The God Delusion right now. Ryan had dinner with a listener named Spacemouse (or possibly Spacemouse3000). Any listener who wants to take any of us out to dinner, absolutely can! Great audio comments from Goaaaaaal guy, Scott and Flotsky. Thanks guys!
