a balanced diet [Music] right [Music] welcome everybody hi i'm skip alzheimer um welcome to the av geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter educational films uh that last one was part of the series mulligan stew mulligan stew of course was a group of kids who were in a rock band and also solve mysteries or projects missions related to nutrition and the film was made by the 4h um and so it has all these really odd songs um at least three per episode um um and the kids sing them uh really great stuff great stuff uh it's it's from that time like when all the kids programming had somebody had a group that was in a band that solved mysteries so that was during your scooby doos that was during your um what was that buggy one crap can't remember uh jabra jaw there was so many um so we're watching old 16 millimeter films and i actually have a piece of equipment that lets me do it um and there's the film is threaded up so this next film is the service station so this teaches kids about what the service station is and so um right off the bat this film is antiquated because it's rare that the service station exists in its current form um many of them have been replaced by convenience stores that have gas there are uh then you get your car actually serviced somewhere else you don't actually go to the gas station to get your car serviced if you go to a place that services cars so here we go service station i mean something weird is going on hold on sorry technology man technology um hold on i had a little software glitch here working on it working on it huh that's interesting one second oh i see what's going on one second please there we go thunderbolt cable came out of the back of my map so there you go technology man [Music] [Applause] [Music] in every neighborhood today there is a service station you can probably remember seeing one in your own neighborhood here you can buy gasoline and oil for your car and you receive many other services as well because so many people have cars today service stations are very important long ago there weren't many service stations you probably know the reason why [Music] in those days long ago there weren't many automobiles the few there were would seem funny to us today people wore special coats to keep dirt from the dusty road off their clothes and the goggles kept dust out of their eyes if you had lived in those days you would have found that a drive in the family car was a real adventure something like a pioneer adventure if you had a flat tire as you often did on such poor roads there wasn't a service station nearby to have it fixed you had to fix it yourself pumping up a tire by hand was hard work but a pioneer's work is always hard [Music] there were only a few service stations in those days often they were out back of the local hardware store [Music] they weren't really service stations as we know them today but here you could buy gasoline if you wanted five gallons the storekeeper would measure it out one gallon at a time [Music] the storekeeper kept a barrel of oil on hand for your strange-looking machine [Music] but the chances were you'd have to show him where to put the oil in those days long ago there were few service stations because only a few people own cars today there are a great many cars and trucks cars carry people to work on trips and on vacations trucks carry many things that people need from place to place service stations are much different today because they serve so many more people today big tank trucks deliver large amounts of gasoline to a service station the driver takes out a long heavy hose from his truck there are large storage tanks underground at every service station the driver puts one end of the hose in a hole that leads to an underground tank the other end of the hose is connected to his tank truck he then pulls a handle that starts the gasoline flowing from his truck through the long heavy hose to the underground storage tank a meter shows how many gallons of gasoline are going into the underground tank the underground tanks hold enough gasoline for many automobiles it is brought up to your car by these familiar pumps above ground men who run service stations are called dealers or managers and a man who works for them is called an attendant the attendant finds out what kind and how much gasoline you want he then gets the pump ready for a new sail the attendant takes out a long hose he places the hose in your car's tank as he squeezes the handle gasoline pours into the tank the attendant watches the numbers on the pump if you want five gallons you'll stop the pump when five gallons are delivered other numbers on the pump show how much money the five gallons cost the attendant also checks under the hood of your car he looks to see if there is enough water in your radiator if more is needed he pulls out a special water hose to fill the radiator he replaces the cap when the radiator is full all cars need oil the attendant checks to see if there is enough oil in your car he pulls out a long metal rod from the engine the end of the rod shows when more oil is needed oil is often sold at a service station in court bottles or cans today's service station attendant knows exactly where and how to put oil in everybody's car the attendant also checks your tires he uses the air hose to do this he places the end of the hose on the tire valve air goes into the tire when the button is pressed a gauge shows how much air every time the button is pressed more air goes into the tire until the gauge shows that the tire contains the right amount the service station attendant washes your windshield so that it's bright and clear then you pay him for the gasoline and oil his other services are free some service stations keep the money drawer in the station house and it's here where the attendant goes to get your change every car needs another kind of service called lubrication to make it run smoothly the attendant pushes a handle which raises your car off the ground on a special rack many of the parts he lubricates are underneath the car a device called a grease gun is designed to lubricate a car it is used to force heavy grease into many parts of your automobile other parts underneath are oiled while your car is on the lubrication rack many useful tools are used at a service station to help the attendant do his work this tool is used to help fix a flat tire [Music] how much better and faster this is than long ago when there were only a few service stations today there are many cars and many service stations you see them everywhere serving people during the day and some of them staying open around the clock to serve people who travel at night [Music] service stations are everywhere certainly there is one in your neighborhood too [Music] so um yeah man things have changed it's funny like um for a long time there were service stations sometimes three or four on a on a given intersection and that at least in raleigh changed um to where there's now no service stations like some of them got torn down and replaced with uh drugstores and then more recently with um because a lot of drug stores have merged so then those would be empty and then they've become mattress stores um but it's it's gotten to where there's not as many places to get gas um especially in manhattan yeah driving manhattan was there used to be every so many blocks you'd see a gas station but that has completely changed um maybe it's because of the margin that's made on gasoline is so tight and the only places that can get away with it is convenience stores where they can sell other things and the margin on selling pharmaceuticals is very high and so drug stores are like yeah we'll you know make a certain amount of money on drugs and then also people can buy milk and cigarettes and everything else mattresses is i guess i don't know what the deal with that is but suddenly a bunch of mattress stores popped up in raleigh um and now some of them are gone all right so um what do we got here oh yeah so uh thanks everybody for tuning in um if you like what you're watching you can subscribe and hit like and also buy me coffee uh some people have been watching this uh when it's not live but at other times and uh have donated so thank you so much for that coffee is we love it um in case you're wondering this is it's old but um this is actually uh designed by a friend of mine it's a french press built-in mug so there's in there's a screen and you put the grounds in for the grounds in then you pour hot water on it and you let it steep and then you press this down and it the coffee comes out there and you drink it without any grounds it's my favorite way to make coffee um mostly because it doesn't i don't have to put filters in i don't have to i went through a period where i was breaking like three or four french presses that were made out of glass and you know every time i tried to do something with smash and i'd have like steaming hot coffee grounds everywhere and of course no caffeine to to hone my skills to actually clean it up so this was this was a lifesaver so this is called an impress and i think you can get them you used to be able to get them at target but i think you can get them at um online they're probably 30 bucks but i use mine every day um there's a commercial for you uh speaking of commercials this next film is uh made by a north carolina filmmaker walter j klein and his company which made a lot of what we call sponsored films and what they would do their model was they would come up with an idea for a film and it would be something that they would distribute to tv stations and to schools and ultimately they would look for a sponsor to pay for it and the sponsor would pay for the distribution of the film and all that um and also pay you know the production costs and this would be an ad for whatever it was so we've seen some in the past um the yellow fellow sponsored by i think charms blow pops um and in other films that you know they have like usually there's like a thing at the beginning and thing at the end for the ad part and then in the middle there might be a product placement or like a billboard that go past well this one is totally um an ad about pipes and it's specifically smoking pipes um it's uh it's an interesting thing i feel like it was made by tinderbox or made for tinderbox but i can't remember it was some one of these things that used to sell tobacco and pipes in the mall back in the 70s and early 80s so here it is pipe dreams [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Music] who comes to mind when you see a pipe oh my god who is that who's that is that that fish i've been looking for no oh who is it oh it's a blonde headed boy i bet well i'll bet his name is james no robert no it must be stephen right but come on and help me fish where you you want to look at that page reach for it you would no no no no but look at it isn't that pretty feel it feel that that's nice beautiful that's nice who comes to mind when you see a pipe only place to cut back dramatically is in personnel i don't understand why we have to cut back at all all we have to do is lower production output three to four percent right great just what in the world he's suggesting look what i suggest to you is that gentlemen i appreciate your ideas let's break for now i'll think it over and give you my decision tomorrow okay who comes to mind when you see a pipe [Music] who comes to mind you do as you dream of owning your first smoking pipe who else comes to mind a skilled tobacconist who passes his love for handcrafted pipes onto each curious customer who wants more from smoking than just smoke there's an unlimited variety of materials from which pipes have been made clay stone ivory bone and a choice of metals yet the classic briar and the meerschaum are still the favorites briar comes from the burl of the white heath tree grown in corsica italy or asia minor the briar is tough porous and nearly impervious to heat the briar may be 50 to 100 years old when harvested for pipe making because no two burrells grow alike perhaps one in a thousand briar pipes created each year may have a uniformly fine grain pattern and perfection of finish though they may cost several hundred dollars these absolutely perfect pipes or firsts represent the pinnacle of the pipemaker's art seconds or briar pipes that have tiny natural surface flaws are sold at more attractive prices and give their owner exactly the same smoking pleasure as a first the difference aesthetics and the pride of owning a perfect pipe have to brier in your hand when considering its purchase lightweight briar is well aged and offers a good tasting cool smoke meerschaum is german for seafoam created from small fossilized sea creatures mirsham can be found almost exclusively in turkey asia minor and east africa very lightweight and extremely porous meerschaum offers a cool unique smoking experience [Music] pipe carvers take advantage of mirsham's tender nature to create real works of art after a period of time when properly cared for amir sham will take on a distinctive rich cherry color often passed on from generation to generation many a man's meerschaum pipe has become a family heirloom just how do you go about selecting a fine wine the right suit or a smoking pipe by personal taste by lifestyle and with the advice of a trained specialist the well-established professional tobacconist can lay an endless variety of smoking instruments before you and give you advice as to which best compliments you your lifestyle and appearance not every shape pipe will match every smoker whom paul church warden dublin bulldog prince pot [Music] canadian poker billiard apple [Music] the well-stocked tobacconus not only carries the standard shapes but unique one-of-a-kind free handpipes as well choosing your pipe is only the beginning now to select your tobacco almost all pipe tobaccos belong to one of the two basic groups those used as the base of a blend and those that add flavor and aroma before you acquire preference for a particular blend your advisor has taken the trouble to prepare a variety of tobacco formulas to the specifications of europe's most prestigious tobacconess he'll pick the ideal blend to start you on your way to a cool dry smoke after choosing the blend first gravity feed the tobacco into the bowl of the pipe level off the excess and then gently press the tobacco down about two-thirds from the top now gravity feed the tobacco again into the bowl press slightly harder this time about one-third from the top finally gravity feed the tobacco to overflowing and press firmly the tobacco should be slightly springy and level with the top of the pipe hole a word of caution don't be a hyper piper move the match slowly around the outside edge of the tobacco and take long puffs next tap the ashes gently pressing them down lightly upon the unburned tobacco as you re-light puff rhythmically blow gently into the stem between puffs this feeds air to the base of the bowl just as a bellows feeds a forge you want to eventually create a cake of carbon in the heel or bottom of the pipe to improve the draft and assure complete combustion and a cool enjoyable smoke do smoke the tobacco all the way to the bottom but smoke slowly if your pipe becomes uncomfortably hot to the touch set it aside to cool don't knock the ashes of your first load out of the pipe simply fluff the loose ash out and keep a gray ash residue in the bottom this is the start of the cake in your pipe now sit back and relax it's really quite simple a smoking pipe cinch so [Music] the professional tobacconist who gave you advice on choosing a pipe we'll show you how to care for it as well rest your pipe at least a full day after smoking it to give the tars and moisture a chance to dry out use a pipe cleaner with stiff bristles before and after each smoke to absorb liquid residues a reamer is a tool that adjusts to fit the shape of the bowl to gently scrape off the occasional over abundance of carbon deposits a tamper is an essential tool used for packing down the burning tobacco within the bowl your tobacconist can show you a vast assortment of pipe tools and tampers many combined in one at home be sure to place your pipe at the proper drainage angle with the bowl lower than the stem since dry tobacco smokes fast and hot and wet tobacco smokes wet and bitter it's wise to invest in a humidor that will keep your tobacco as fresh as the day you bought it a humid roll or a tobacco moisturizer soaked once a week in water in place deep in your tobacco will assure a clean smoke every time and remember that when you try a new blend it takes at least six loads to burn away the old flavor before you can enjoy the true taste of the new tobacco the previous blend you smoke tends to linger in the pipe and needs to burn away many would-be pipe smokers have purchased a pipe only to try at once have a hot or bitter taste in their mouth and then give up pipe smoking before they even got started a bitter taste could be due to no cake in the heel of the pipe tobacco that is packed too tightly or low quality tobacco feel free to discuss such problems with your professional tobacconist who can certainly remedy the situation there's no such thing as a one pipe piper since it's necessary to let your pipe rest and dry out before you smoke it owning and smoking a number of pipes makes a lot of sense by rotating your pipes you'll be able to have a variety of shapes and tastes at your disposal you may choose a briar today a meerschaum tomorrow or perhaps a briar with a meerschaum lining the day after you may want to own a pipe for the opening of a lafitte rothschild the closing of a deal the beginning of a collection or the ending of the day [Music] since there's a wide range of cost as well as quality differences in smoking pipes it's best to do business with a reputable professional tobacconist he should be able to advise you about pipes cigars all blends of tobaccos give you gift ideas and most importantly stand behind every product he sells by buying from a truly professional well-trained tobacconist you are assured excellent service and consistent quality in tobaccos and pipes almost anywhere in the country enjoy a smoking experience throughout history man has carried his pipe as a reliable friend for emotional comfort and mental calm give a man a pie peeking smoke give a man a book he can read and his home is bright with a calm delight though the room be poor indeed [Music] so that was 1978 the tinderbox brings me back uh i grew up in a suburban dayton ohio and in um albemarle north carolina which was close to charlotte which they had uh eastland mall which was a great mall and there was a gender box there um at one point my dad smoked pipe so some of this resonates with me he gave it up though at some point um what am i talking about thank you rebecca for some coffee obviously i need a little bit more to push me over the top um yeah so like i said that would that last film pipe dreams was something that they would offer to tv stations they would say hey you're looking for some content for free or little to nothing you know we'll send you this film and it's about informational film about picking your first pipe and of course ultimately it's an ad for tinderbox but um yeah so they were successful about this uh walter j klein wrote a book about it his sons both uh produced these um and uh yeah it was a business that thrived i think until probably the 80s um and that collection all their films are at the school of the arts in winston-salem north carolina and ultimately when the pandemic gets over i'll probably get a bunch and we'll digitize more of them and make them available so there you go all right this next film is um it's a safety film it's it's let george do it and i'm wondering based on the title does that mean that george ultimately is not going to do it or has forgotten or something has happened where george is unable to do it so let's find out let's george do it [Music] wow [Music] hello mary hi ron welcome back thank you thank you i might have known you would pick today to get back to work how come the weather it suddenly turned cool balmy and beautiful been a little hot here terrible and sticky come on go ahead make me miserable how was acapulco sunshine great surf wonderful food and cool nights you know i didn't even get sick and how do you like my tan looks terrible acapulco isn't that where those kids dive off the cliff into the sea yeah and that's one thing i didn't like why not well you know how dangerous that is once a safety director always a safety director yeah you're right but you know seriously every time i saw those divers i thought about you and this place and the people on the planet so tell me what's been going on here well let's see schedule was kept supervisors turned in reports of safety contacts okay oh purchasing wants to see you before they sign the contract on that new drying oven okay i'll call them today and about the usual number of uh first aid cases nothing big that's all most of it can wait but there were three accidents i wanted to talk to you about not serious ones just different they all seem to have something in common do you think we might have a little epidemic starting well at least if there's a pattern in them maybe we can stop it by training people to recognize the symptoms okay i might as well get right back into harness tell me about it now this first one involved two electricians you know uh al sorrentino sure well he and his partner dick mccann were running a new condo at down isle j i got to the corner of l5 dick was supposed to place the warning cones and stand guard while al locked the wheels on the rolling scaffold and climbed up what happened was that while joe was locking the wheels dick went to get the cones and somebody in the machine shop called the dick and he walked over to talk to the guy meanwhile al got the wheels locked and had just gotten started up the ladder when a forklift came down the intersecting aisle now that's aisle five the driver couldn't see the scaffolding at the corner he made a tight turn and saw the scaffolding and tried to swerve out but he struck one leg of it and poor old al took a fall that he did he was just lucky he hadn't climbed higher well it was a blind corner for the truck driver and there weren't any cones out to warner mccann felt really terrible about that he said that in another minute he would have had the cones in place sure and al figured everything was okay all he had to do was climb up there and do his job he didn't wait to make sure that the cones were in place no he didn't check now that was the first case now here's another one this one was caused by a defective drill first the drill had a short in it and second someone had removed the ground prong from an extension cord he got in the tool room well that just about tells the story except for the details you can guess what happened anyway two maintenance men ken camp and boy grady were working on a job ken went around to the tool room and picked up a drill and an extension cord when he got back to the work area he hooked it all up and handed it to grady how seriously was he hurt he got a hell of a jolt luckily he wasn't frozen so he let go of the trigger and he didn't fall off the ladder well it was sure lousy equipment maintenance somebody in the tool room should have checked out that drill of course and camp should never have accepted a cord that was missing the ground prong why did he oh he said he just didn't look at the plug said that he figured that whatever would come out of the tool room would be okay his supervisor didn't think much of that excuse really chewed him out sure he was wrong and whoever should have done the checking in the tool room was wrong but you know the one who really interests me in that case is foy grady why he was sort of mouse trapped wasn't he but he shouldn't have been i'm beginning to think that what we've got here are two examples of the let george do it syndrome what the let george do it syndrome i'll explain it to you later but first you said there was a third accident didn't you yes here we are the injured man was carl schultz a drill press operator the setup man had completed his setup and schultz had started work and he finished two out of the four drilling operations everything was all right many started on the third drill the backup bar wasn't tight schultz placed the fixture he was working with against the bar and started the drill under pressure the bar gave and the fixture began to spin schultz cut a corner that really sliced up his finger good so the setup man didn't tighten the bar enough and schultz didn't check right he just assumed of course i see what you mean let george do what you said but we all have to let george do it don't we i i mean nobody can do all the jobs himself oh sure we have to divide up the work this is a very specialized world but still it's easy to get used to having george do it that's the other side of specialization it's easy after a while to assume that george has done it even when your physical safety and sometimes your life are at stake look ron you know me i've been sitting here thinking so what do we do about it i mean suppose we use these cases in the next training program what do we say about them what do we do about george good question i think first we talked to schultz and grady and al sorrentino but they've probably already learned their lesson what we've got to worry about are all the people who could get hurt if they do the same thing and take george too much for granted we've got to get across to them protect yourselves check the wheel chocks on the truck check the lockout on the machine check behind the vehicle before you back up don't count on someone else be responsible for your own safety don't take anything for granted sure we can do that but what about george do we talk to him too you bet we do oh i know you don't have to talk to george after he's goofed and somebody got hurt or at least you don't have to talk much i'll bet dick mccann did feel lousy when he got hurt because he hadn't put out those safety cones no the trick is to talk to george before he goofs how do we do that nobody ever messes up on purpose well that's exactly right the point is that george is everywhere he could be anybody like all of us he does his job right most of the time but occasionally he slips up and there's trouble i remember something that happened to me ten years ago when i was a department supervisor there were acid tanks in my section so of course we had emergency showers well one of the valves on a shower began to leak and i reported it they sent a maintenance man over to fix it he turned off the water hung up a sign saying out of order and then he went to work when he finished the job he took down the sign came over to me and said the shower was fixed i thanked him and signed his work order naturally it was my business to check the shower i knew that and i was thinking about it but just then somebody came up and said i was needed right away so i went off and did whatever it was i was wanted for the shower was still turned off but when i got back i didn't remember to check i suppose i assumed that everything was all right so what happened well it was one of those times when you don't get away with making a mistake a few days later one of the men was splashed with acid and ran over to the shower nothing happened no water wow i get your point so you assumed that the maintenance man had done his job and old george hadn't done it oh it was worse than that that poor fellow who got burned and stepped under a dry shower i was the one who hadn't done my job i was george mary your three accidents are all related and the pattern is likely to show up again it cuts two ways when you're responsible for the safety of others and we all are sometimes don't be george the sword of george who didn't do it and where it's a matter of your personal safety don't rely on george always check i hope we can get those two ideas across it won't be easy i know but we gotta try there are easier ways to learn than by getting hurt or by hurting others aren't we all george um i didn't have the complete payoff that uh many of the safety films have which is showing some sort of accident happening and you know like uh somebody holding up bloody stumps or holding their face or um but this one was made for management obviously it's like you know what you can tell your employees everything about it but if you're not checking up on it then you're george all right let's see what we got here um this film's about our productive industry and i think that this is also made by pat dowling films uh the same people that made the service station that we watched a little bit earlier so here we go lots of beautiful footage of how productive our industry is circa 50s enjoy [Music] in the beginning america was a raw land of forests from which homes could be built and people kept warm of rivers and lakes which could be traversed for exploration and of soil which could be cultivated for food and dug into for mineral wealth [Music] such were the natural resources with which we started as a nation less than 200 years ago in this relatively short portion of civilized time we have become the most extensively developed industrial nation in the world our people have accomplished this because of several important factors they learn to use machines to relieve human drudgery they were ambitious to work and save money and invest in businesses [Music] their methods resulted in the most things for the most people the highest standard of living of any nation [Music] since earliest times our people have always wanted and needed a lot of things just like they do today and people were anxious to go into business and make something to satisfy human wants and needs but making things slowly by hand like this old clock was made wasn't fast enough the need for a better method was apparent [Music] before 1798 guns were all slowly handmade one at a time and it was rarely that any of the parts would fit any other similar gun in those days large quantities of muskets were urgently needed by our young government eli whitney the inventor realized that large quantities of each of the parts should be made all exactly alike so he contracted to produce in that manner and quickly assembled ten thousand muskets like this one the parts of all of them fit and were interchangeable whitney's method established a pattern for mass production our first industries had grown up from simple beginnings early settlers used the natural resource of water power to run grist mills and saw mills soon larger mills and factories were built along the riverbanks all using flowing water for their power there was one great disadvantage the power could be used only as far away as belts could reach from the water wheel [Music] theme engines to run factory machines were a step in developing industries but steam power was also limited for a time to use at only one location but thomas a edison designed the first central electric generating plant using steam to create electric power and send it out to users as far as a mile away [Music] today large quantities of electric power are created in central steam generating plants and by falling water at hydroelectric powerhouses [Music] the power is now sent out long distances to turn the machines in thousands of manufacturing plants in all parts of the nation with plenty of power available our processing plants mills and factories now turn out quickly and in large quantities the thousands of things that people need and use our system of manufacturing and assembly follows that pioneered by eli whitney for example this modern machine contains many parts and each part is produced in large quantities all precise in size and shape [Music] thus the assembly of many complete machines is simplified [Music] our automotive industry building cars and trucks by the millions each year is typical of how mass production has developed to a highly efficient system our first cars and trucks produced in the early part of this century were all practically handmade [Music] based on the value of money at the time they were very expensive and only a few people could have them henry ford's first car was mostly a handmade job created one piece at a time but ford soon started a production line assembling cars faster from quantities of all the parts on hand a modern assembly line draws on other factories and many sections of the nation for the multitude of parts of a car or truck the engine itself contains many parts and these parts come from several other manufacturing plants [Music] many farmers are growing cotton and some of it will make the cords in the tires elsewhere a petroleum refinery is producing the basic material which goes into the paint another plant is turning out miles of copper wire a great deal of which will be wound into generators and starters out of the processes in another factory comes the glass for windows and doors in other plants machine tools that perform many operations turn out huge quantities of the nuts and bolts that will hold the other parts together [Music] engines and other parts are joined onto the frames on an assembly line until finally complete cars emerge [Music] thus the cars and trucks represent a cross section of american industries the circle of production widens as many large and small suppliers depend upon each other and contribute to the whole finished product [Music] mass production and mass distribution of the products of industry were able to advance because of our outstanding transportation system which developed alongside of the nationwide spread of manufacturing at the time when muskets and cast iron plows were shipped out west by wagon the pace was too slow for american industry early canals served for a time but their areas of service were limited railroads finally spanned the continent and were a great impetus to trade [Music] then a network of good highways brought farms and raw material resources and industries still closer together and enabled them to work together we are using our rails our waterways highways and airplane runways at their full capacity the foods and fibers and manufactured goods of america are increasingly on the move and our industries constantly widen americans live under a political system conducive to ambition and progress this helps our industries to expand and advance our great leaders of government have all realized the need of encouraging and protecting the efforts of individuals so our scientists and inventors have the incentive to keep finding new ways to make use of our resources of raw materials they think of new products to make and improvements on the familiar ones [Music] they constantly improve the tools and methods of manufacturing to produce useful goods easier and a better quality in such ways americans make this country a land of plenty hey i'm back um so industry is what makes america great kinda [Laughter] uh there's lots of films that talk about how industry makes america great um and yeah uh thanks so much for tuning in today very much appreciate you guys watching and contributing and commenting um i'm not going to get political but i am going to get just a little bit political please vote please vote please vote i'm not going to tell you who to vote for but please vote get out and vote vote for everybody that you feel matches what is important to you uh do the research please vote vote vote and i'll probably be talking more about this later um just really it's important so vote vote vote vote all right that's enough of me uh thanks so much for tuning in tomorrow um we'll come back again one o'clock we'll watch some more wonderful films i'm excited because we're actually digging into some 16 that i just haven't seen like i'm i'm going through the going to the archive in the afternoons when my assistant has left and i'm pulling films i'm like i haven't seen this i haven't seen this oh this is great so you guys are getting to see some premieres of things that i just haven't seen like the let george do it um i don't think i've seen that um so thank you for coming along on this journey and watching these films as per usual um please rewind love each other smiley face peace on and we will see you again tomorrow everybody take care of yourselves be kind yourselves you
