[Music] and you [Music] and you have to [Music] what will you really do what will you really do um that's part of a counselor films series and as we've seen um a lot of those films were made by gene starbecker or someone else and they all have really great uh songs there's another one called fun or dumb series so uh it's made by the same company so uh fun and dumb destruction fun or dumb graffiti or um vandalism uh both have like i guess i had a relationship with someone who wrote jingles and they said i got them to write jingles for their songs and they're super um catchy annoyingly so i think uh so uh you know whenever i can i try to show a film from my collection on telecine sometimes we watch something that hasn't been actually transferred so i'm gonna slowly transfer move this over here so you can see so this is the film uh telecini and you see uh this is not unreal this is actually on what we call a core which is a little plastic reel uh the reason why is because this film has a pretty bad vinegar syndrome i don't know if you can see there's not a way to really zoom in but there's a warp to the film and it's beginning to curl uh and that's it's got a strong vinegar smell uh that's because the film itself has an emulsion and a base and the base is acetate and when acetate begins to break down it makes acetic acid which is vinegar so i'm going to show this film but i'm going to have to basically put my finger here to make sure that the film contacts um the sprocketed wheel so that it registers so and doesn't roll so i'm gonna be showing the film and holding my finger alright so here is uh latin rhythms it's a what we would call a soundy although i can't remember if this is actually technically a sound he made by the soundy um company but it is a series of early music videos enjoy [Music] our little international review opens with a group of dancers this particular quartet consists of three caballeros who take a poor defenseless girl and toss her two and throw i give you the mia miles fourth [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] gracias me amigos now i bring to you a visiting star from the airways it is my extreme pleasure to present the troubadoura song jean-pierre come on within my arms [Music] on last never dreamed i'd be with you constantly why am i mine alone [Music] is [Music] it was [Music] oh [Music] it was my own [Music] thank you ladies and gentlemen and now how would you like to hear our charming hostess miss luba molina sing a song cc it shall be maybe it won't help you but it should be true you ain't heard nothing unless you heard the last mix yet that inspirational most sensational educational [Music] you are still here [Music] no matter how i cry and cry you won't listen to my flea won't live in any language to me you'll never say see [Music] the monkeys and the green [Music] there is a little gag that never fails oh no but sweetheart tell me why no matter how i try and try you won't listen to my play won't listen any language to me [Music] please [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so oh [Music] foreign [Music] evie [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so i don't know if you can see there's a little bit of uh dirt or mold or something and maybe emulsion on my finger it's what you do what you do for navy geek you get little tiny weird things grounded into your fingertips um scrapes weird scrapes there's a film inspector that i have not here which makes the film go really quickly and if you're not careful if you like one of the things is it quickly rewinds and you sometimes will stop it try to stop it with your fingers and if there's a burr on the reel it'll just slice these little slices into your finger there's all sorts of of hazards associated with uh being an av geek and having a vast collection you know who knows the untold damage done by uh exposure to vinegar syndrome when the film breaks down good times but anyways i hope you appreciate what we do for you one way you can show that you appreciate uh us uh damaging our our lives and our bodies uh to show you films is to buy us coffee caffeine uh is a wonderful way to treat our nervous system and keep us going when things are tedious you can also hit like and subscribe like and subscribe and you can go to avgeeks.com and see other things that we've digitized you can buy dvds there etc etc this next film is uh it's called it takes two and i think it's a uh noise pollution related in the workplace related film so here we go enjoy making noise is often part of getting the job done but exposure to continuous steady noise can destroy your hearing if you do nothing to protect yourself you have no one else to blame if you lose your hearing noise is the enemy your indifference is its ally it takes two [Music] don't take your sense of hearing for granted watch for these three dangerous signals if on-the-job noise forces you to shout at close range to be heard you need ear perfection if you have a ringing in the ears after prolonged exposure to noise you need ear protection if ordinary conversation seems muffled and indistinct you need ear protection communication by speech is basic don't let noise destroy your hearing [Music] noise hurts and the air can't defend itself sound any sound enters the ear and strikes the eardrum vibrations are carried across a bridge of small bones to the inner ear [Music] nature protects it in a hard bone container where the sense organ is submerged in a cushioning fluid but nature's protection is not enough many far-sighted industries give audio metric tests to new employees to find out if a hearing loss already exists and to show them how to use devices that protect their hearing on the job periodic follow-up tests make sure that the vital sense of hearing remains undamaged for once hearing is lost it is difficult or impossible to replace the ultimate responsibility however is yours no one can protect your hearing but you experienced workers know that safety equipment is designed for their protection and they use it your ears deserve the same consideration ear protectors reduce harmful noise and make it easier to hear speech warning signals and important machine rhythms earmuffs and earplugs can save your hearing [Music] there's only one catch an ear protector has no value unless you wear it it takes two well i thought that film was gonna be uh longer than it was um let me see if i can find something else that's gonna not roll over uh yeah so i love occupational safety films uh nathan uh thank you so much for the coffee um yeah for some reason i thought that was just gonna be a longer film one second um well i know what i can do i mean you know as i said i love occupational safety films and of course one of my favorite occupational safety films that shake hands with danger and we played a couple of uh films today that have really catchy songs and this one is a catchy song that we commissioned and um so um shake hands and your booty is what i call it so here it is uh a um version a newly done version of shake hands with danger that invokes uh rocky horror picture show and some other things from the 70s enjoy in a minute [Music] hey get down from there now [Music] what if it bumped that control by accident you'd be mincemeat by now what have i told you you don't work on equipment when the engine's running well i told them not to touch anything all right i guess i wasn't thinking you weren't thinking you mean you'll work on engines and machinery and not think of your own personal safety here shake hands with danger shake hands with danger meet a man you ought to know i used to laugh at safety now they call me three finger joe i was young and feisty never did things by the book just let me get my tool box and i'll take myself a look i climbed up on a dozier with my [Music] now they call me three finger joe although i learned a lesson i forgot it soon enough the nicks and burns and scratches showed the young ones i was tough till another morning i was grinding on some steel my other hand got careless and fed my skin into the wheel shake hands with danger step right up and say hello grinding wheels and metal are what made me three finger joe i've seen mechanics burning and i've seen them take a fall just to save themselves a minute i've seen them lose it all i've watched them caught in trouble seen them take a chance and lose they get careless for a moment and spend a lifetime with the blues [Applause] be [Music] [Music] look around move around inside [Music] shake hands with danger and some friends i used to know compared to them i'm lucky to be just three finger joes [Music] [Laughter] uh so great um scott phillips greg inman um they uh earned the band uh nowhere uh used to be known as goner a local raleigh band um and uh i think scott did a uh kickstarter and as part of the deal he was trying to put out his own album and it's part of the deal you
