AV Geeks Lunch 9-4-2020

[Music] this is mike shuteck mike builds cars he will never drive this is john moore john builds blood analyzers he will never use this is teresa carter teresa constructs television sets whose pictures she will never see you are part of a system and because the system is highly competitive its strength is also its weakness you must rely on others for the products you use but if for instance you don't have confidence in the skill training and attitude of teresa carter a person you never met you could buy a television set with components built by sengi hakaya who works in tokyo whom you also never met that is your right in the system of course the reverse is also true if teresa carter loses confidence in your ability she doesn't need what you make how good are the things you make how good are teresa carter and mike issue tech and why is it that a lot of americans prefer someone else's work i'm martin agronski and i'm an american workman so are my doctor my dentist the people who constructed this building and this street and the waitress who served me dinner last night they all have different skills and different capabilities but they have two things in common first they are americans who work second it has been widely reported that we as a society seem to have begun to lose confidence in their work why for a viewpoint on that let's switch over to japan like the legendary prophet the american workman is sometimes honored more in a country other than his own this is isatan company limited one of the oldest department stores in japan every industrialized society in the world makes products like toys and towels clothing jewelry cameras watches pens and tools the successful retailer does not have to import them over thousands of expensive miles esatan has found a reason to when did you begin to sell american products well that started about 1945. we began gradually and since then the volume we handle has been increasing steadily mr kasu masa koshiba manager of isaten tokyo dai tai sono hambag gaku nakada these american products amount to what kind of dollar volume within our last year's sales record it's equivalent to one and a half million dollars why would the japanese customer choose an american product instead of its local equivalent i believe that it's the quality of american product that has been appreciated by the japanese customer exactly what do you mean by quality i believe that there are three points first is there is functionality they are useful second they are very durable good workmanship and third the prices are reasonable so for these reasons they are well preputed among japanese customers one store in tokyo does a million and a half dollars worth of business selling the same american products we take for granted toys small appliances sporting goods towels but it's not just the product that people buy it's the quality the workmanship in venezuela 44 of all imported manufactured products are supplied by u s manufacturers in singapore it's 22 percent in spain it's 14 percent in australia 24 why for a viewpoint on that let's switch to washington in the u.s department of commerce surplus we asked dr charles w hostler deputy assistant secretary for international commerce dr hasser how well are american consumer products selling abroad american consumer products are doing very well martin uh they're worldwide we totaled about nine billion dollars in 1975 as compared to six and a half billion dollars the year before two and a half billion dollars says they are doing with that it's very true dr houser let's summarize it would you say then that american consumer goods really hold their own in world markets against any foreign competition absolutely it means competitiveness in price prestige high quality distinctive styling attractive packaging and durability durability that's workmanship yes absolutely martin so people in other countries like and respect what we in the united states make but the ships go both ways in the past two years the united states imported more than 200 billion dollars worth of products from other countries we tend to think of american workmanship in terms of the assembly line immense and personal and designed for maximum productivity its ultimate end to produce x number of units per day per hour terribly familiar by implication quantity not quality only this isn't an american plant this is the volkswagen assembly works we are not the only people in the world with assembly lines seem to have a real fascination for foreign assembly lines maybe because we don't work on them consider for instance the automobile its impact on life here is absolutely stunning one of every six people in the united states depends on the automotive industry for their livelihood but a lot of people besides americans make cars and in the past year approximately 17 percent of the americans who bought a car bought one that was made by workers in another country to give you an idea what that preference means consider this at the request of the new york times a harvard economist did some research and reported that for every one billion dollars in lost u.s car sales about 58 000 americans lose their jobs that means one billion dollars equals 58 000 lost jobs in 1975 import car and truck sales total in excess of eight billion dollars that's 464 000 jobs do the arithmetic again 58 000 times eight equals 464 000 lost jobs so this preference for cars built by the workers of other countries has a tremendous impact on our economy the thing that i can't understand is i come here to take care of my claim i see all these other people laid off from tire companies and glass factories car manufacturers they wait in line to get their money and they go out into the parking lot and drive off in a foreign car they never put two and two together it doesn't make any sense to me the social scientists have pointed out that consumers approach a product not only in terms of its reality but also in terms of the myth surrounding it what you believe a product to be is what you buy but is what you believe reality or myth let's take a closer look the three basic areas of concern for the buyers of most products are how much does it cost to buy how much does it cost to keep working how long will it last all right let's look at the facts fact based on manufacturers suggested retail prices there are nine cars sold in the united states whose initial purchase price is less than three thousand dollars four of these cars the gremlin the pinto pony the chevette and the vega are american fact according to the latest epa report on fuel economy 30 of the top 70 rankings belong to american manufacturers all of these vehicles were ranked at better than 20 miles per gallon in the city 30 miles per gallon on the highway and all achieved at least 25 miles per gallon in the combined city highway test fact two of the top six rankings the chevrolet chevette and the pinto pony mpg are american so we are left with how long will this bright shiny new car last 84 of all the foreign cars sold here from 1967 through 1970 are still on the road in comparison 85 percent of all the american cars sold during that period are still on the road so going back nine years there's virtually no statistical difference between the durability of american and foreign cars or you can look at it this way if for instance you are still driving a 1966 chevrolet like that one there are almost a million and a half other people just like you and about 18 million people who have an american car older than yours well if it isn't a price and it isn't a fuel economy and it isn't durability then what is the difference i think the foreign car makers take more pride in workmanship the foreign manufacturer seems to be more interested in the craftsmanship and the quality that goes into his product than in just how many units he produces in a given day well you see the farm cars put together differently they use all kinds of special techniques over there that's an interesting belief let's take a look this is a datsun assembly line in japan this is a fiat assembly plant in italy this is a chevette assembly plant in wilmington delaware these plants have much in common their workers take vacations and days off for illness just as anyone else and they are just as obligated to operate at a profit as any place else the myth has grown that small foreign cars especially those made in europe are handcrafted by skilled national artisans foreign cars are built in plants much like ours by people from many different countries and backgrounds just as we are in west germany there are more than two and a half million so-called temporary foreign workers they come seeking work from less industrialized countries greece turkey italy spain yugoslavia and many of them find their way onto the assembly lines of the german manufacturing plants for the most part they come with limited technical skill they come to earn a different life just as american workers of all races creeds and ethnic backgrounds gravitated to the industrial centers in the united states so not all foreign products are built by swiss watchmakers on the other hand who builds american products it's not like the old days where you know just casual just put a car together and that's it we ship it but uh right now it's quality is everything why do you say that well if we don't put out a great party uh no job no one buys who's going to feed my family i've talked to thousands of our guys i've represented the people in one capacity or another for the past 10 years and i can honestly say that i don't really know of anyone that i've met who doesn't want to do a good quality job when he's at work in the plant well mike would you call that pride well yeah it's pride i pride my workmanship i call it uh my responsibility to my uh to myself that's how some american workmen see themselves and the men they work with you may see your job in the blue work with you differently but appeared by the managers of a number of foreign firms and by a number of american industrialists as well robert lund is a general motors vice president and general manager of the largest u.s automobile operation chevrolet mr london would you comment on these foreign manufacturers management decisions to set up operations here in this country well martin i don't think it's very surprising to find foreign automobile manufacturers looking to develop assembly facilities here a lot of economic factors could contribute to their decision foreign companies in other industries sony and kawasaki for example have had highly successful manufacturing operations in the united states for years you don't make an investment of that magnitude without that confidence in the quality of your workforce listen isn't a good deal of our success though due to purely technological advances well naturally the bottom line of technology is still people people who recognize needs people capable of developing the technology and most importantly people capable of operating it what you really need is a productive combination of all these skills well your bag really your automobiles give me an example as it applies to automobiles well if you want to use the automobile as an example i think you have to look at it this way there are more than 92 million american-made cars on the road today in this country and each has something like 15 000 different parts in it to achieve this kind of quality and productivity the american worker has to be doing a phenomenal number of things right the american workmen has to be doing a phenomenal number of things right these century-old steam engines here in the smithsonian museum are an example that deserves more than a passing thought while our grandparents workmanship went into such innovations they in turn would have considered as miracles the things we scarcely notice except when they inconvenience us we've spent a large part of our time looking at american workmanship in the automobile industry not because it's the epitome of our craftsmanship but because one out of every six of us either contributes to or is dependent upon that product for our daily bread also because it's an area of manufacture where we are in direct competition with the workers of many other countries we are the american workers we are not some faceless nameless legion we are us you and me maybe we are not as good as we can be but we are better than we believe we are this has been martin agronski reported hello everybody i'm skip alzheimer welcome to our lunchtime streaming show um we're getting ready for labor day weekend so i figured i'd show a film about labor workmanship myth i've watched this many times over the years and it gets more and more interesting to me as i learn more and more about what was happening with labor and the automotive industry and the fact that they talk a lot about craftsmanship but they don't talk about materials they don't talk about the design and unfortunately they use as examples of cars the pinto and the chavez which they didn't age very well compared to the honda civic the other cars on there and i would say it's not because of the workmanship i would say it's because of the manufacturing the materials like i think that there was a a push to cheapen the materials use cheaper materials and to kind of create a forced obsolescence of a car it's the idea that the big car manufacturers were trying to get people to continue buying cars and um they knew that this level of car uh was the lower middle end uh of the spectrum and that they were trying to get people to buy newer newer things and so uh the problems i just didn't remember with those cars weren't the fact that they were poorly put together it's just that the thing plastic things would start breaking and the roof would start fabric roof and start coming in because they didn't use a stronger adhesive and all these these factors that had nothing to do with the actual work um so it's it's very interesting and that idea that uh a certain type of manufacturer of another country is better was because it was advertised as such it was advertising that pushed that so american ad companies pushed that anyways getting off the soapbox um thanks for joining us uh let's see what do we got um this film is about venereal disease but not really about venereal disease it's it's about the emotions associated with venereal disease and i love it because it has a song and this is one of the centron made films that have songs about venereal disease uh there's dance little children uh there's another one um i can't remember the name of it's i'll have that title but there's a couple that actually have songs about vd that are really pretty good so this one doesn't have all the gross um sores and all that stuff it's all about the emotions and the lunatic and this is actually features music fives band tide which is jim stringer who wrote shake hands with danger and so i found out about this um when jim stringer reached out to me about shake hands with danger and said yeah i started working with centron on this film called the lunatic so here we go a lunatic [Music] was that really me sometimes i i can't believe that ever happened hello yes um speak to jennifer mcdonough please this is jennifer the what clinic [Music] wait a minute are you talking about [Music] who are you talking about i don't understand who gave you my name i'm sorry jenny but i just can't give you that information look um do you think you could come into the clinic sometimes some say this afternoon where is this place no but i can find it i guess yes okay thank you no don't worry about it i i understand okay [Music] find bye place to go the people running after him and if they caught him it's showing one man stopped and caught his breath and called the minute [Music] the lunatic is loose and the same men have to hide because they know the things they say he's done that good folks can't abide [Music] my [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Music] well i just found out that i have vd or at at least i probably have it this guy called from the clinic today and said that some people i know of contracted vd and and so i mean he wouldn't even say richard's name he says i probably have it and so he he wants me to come in and get some shots i turn around you know and she's not there which really bummed me out because we were starting to get into a very heavy thing together anyway the next thing i know i'm up on that stage you know playing my guitar but like you know i look down and i don't have a guitar but i really was uh off on the stage playing you know so it should split on you yeah well anyway like i'm waiting for her to come back you know i'm sitting up on the stage like doing two-part harmonies by myself i know i know it sounds weird but i really was getting into that anyway i'm surrounded by all these musicians and magicians and all this really fine sounds jennifer mcdonough please so i look around you know and there are about 50 people and staring back at me which hi come on back are you a student here in town oh my goodness your parents live here no come on [Music] [Music] um i didn't understand are you the one who called me um yes i am excuse me um well we are we are talking about richard right well you know because well he's the only guy that i've slept with so um could you tell me when he came in for treatments uh look jenny now you know i can't give you that information i'm sorry but you know everything around here is completely confidential your case and everybody else's i can't talk about those involved you don't understand i know it's richard it couldn't possibly be anybody else so jenny now try and understand i can't give you that [Music] maybe richard hasn't been in here at home maybe he just gave them my name on the phone or something [Music] yeah yeah i'm sorry julie sorry [Music] [Music] [Music] so so hi all right busy come on in uh diane this is jenny jenny diane hi how are you oh just fine well i guess i better be getting on back to school i've got a wedding to break up it was nice meeting you jenny well goodbye yeah we'll see you [Music] well i don't know what to say i came over here to find out what's going on in your head i get told by some guy at the clinic that somebody obviously some girl gave your name and you gave my name and we all have vd i'm just so confused richard so am i why didn't you tell me yourself why did i have to hear it that way [Applause] i don't know i came over the other night to tell you when i got there and well what's your name your roommate was there you know what she does to my head and then i did i couldn't i i didn't think the time was right and then i got home and i got up tight and i don't know i don't know you don't know i suppose that chick that just left here is probably the one who gave it to you do you know that yeah how do you expect me to feel richard i mean how do you expect me to feel for six months now you have been telling me how concerned you are about humanity how we all need to be more honest and more pure boy i really don't feel that now are you just being hard on yourself oh richard i feel terrible i feel ugly look it's not that big a thing it is a big thing it's really dangerous and it is sickening the whole world is rotting away oh richard don't be such a fake let's face it the guy from the clinic called and said that you have to come in and get some shots and obviously you haven't been in yet look i don't know what you're putting it off for but you better go in because all you're really doing is infecting your precious humanity look i'll go in i'll go in but it's my thing and i'll go when i'm ready i mean it richard please go in go all right okay okay well i better go now [Music] this was my richard my love [Music] mixed up richard what was it with him i guess i always wondered what made him the way he was he was so wonderful in so many ways and so thoughtless and self-centered in others my richard all he needed was some shots to save himself [Music] and save some others too i guess the clinic could cure what he had they kept calling me and saying my contact must come in for treatment [Music] never a name just my contact oh richard [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] oh wow true oh [Music] how are you fine can i sit down sure sorry to bother you but uh well i don't really want to be here this guy john called from the clinic and asked me if i wouldn't come over and plead with you once more to come and get your shot so here i am pleading with you again i told him i didn't think it was too cool for me to be over here since i didn't think we'd be seeing each other anymore but uh i felt sorry for him because because he's been having so much trouble getting in touch with you richard since you've been so difficult and yeah i really feel sorry for him well i'm sure it doesn't touch you too much richard but you might try and consider the fact that he is trying to help you and help a bunch of others everybody trying to help oh richard a lot of people have tried to help you and you know it you just don't want any help you just don't enjoy any help at all look you don't know my hassles so don't preach to me oh i don't know your hassle oh boy how many times have i heard that you don't you don't know a thing that's going on inside my head you don't know what the situation is you see this much there's a lot more to it than that i'm telling you what are you talking about richard just trust me trust you oh richard there's nothing to trust you won't let anybody help you i've tried the guy at the clinic have tried this guy at the clinic i don't think this guy at the clinic can do what he wants to do because he doesn't know know what i didn't get it from that girl you met [Music] what are you talking about richard [Music] i've had it for a long time jennifer even before i came here i just didn't want to tell anybody especially you i'm sorry [Music] [Music] [Music] he left for me it was over richard was running and people were still trying to help him would he ever help himself his escape the lunatic was loose his keeper's given chase i could see that he was crazy you could see it in his eyes the children ran in here cause they were fearful of his cries the lunatic was running trying to find a place to go the people running after him and if they caught him boys it show him one man stopped and caught his breath and called the minute blue because with the lunatic at large no telling what he'd do yet [Music] the lunatic is loose [Music] [Music] all right [Music] i'll always wonder who really was the lunatic [Music] was it richard or was it me [Music] such a great film holy cow i uh i love showing this one uh you know i have a collection of old venereal disease films and this one is so good because it deals with the emotions associated with it there's another one called um what is it is it clinic 23 contact 23. i i have to look that up but um the uh that also deals with the emotions associated with going to the clinic to get a test and then to get shot and both of these roughly came out around the same time in the 70s and um what's great about this one is somebody i maybe looked at the subtext and it's like did richard get it from a guy and then he's just too ashamed to talk about it and then won't tell anybody was it you know who what is the deal and honestly this film isn't to address the richards in the audience it is to address the girl um and whose name just popped right out of my head i don't have enough coffee people give me some coffee um uh so it's about her and it's about her you know and the trust associated with having intimate relations with someone and you think wow some guy's really cool but you don't know him you don't know his background and richard could get treated for this pretty easily but he's not going to because he doesn't want to he doesn't have to deal with it and um so that's really a great story that venereal disease films don't really talk about they don't talk about the fact they certainly don't always talk about the woman they talk more about the man getting it from the woman that's because most of these films were made for the military and they were predominantly male um and they were cautioning about uh girls and easy pickups uh b girls and you know the ones that weren't prostitutes but were willing to have sex with you um and possibly spread the disease even though she looked clean so um really fascinating film and i think that jim stringer the man who wrote the song and was in the band tied he had already written the lunatic and centron liked it so much that they actually kind of patterned the entire and renamed the film based on the song the song itself isn't really about venereal disease but they felt like it applied and then uh jim continued to work with centron the 80s such a great film and of a very specific time and you know the whole concept of notification of people who have disease is certainly on our minds nowadays um it's time to show a film i i forgot to show the film i was gonna show so i have a telecini here and i bring films from the archive and this one is called four famous frauds [Music] enjoy [Music] hi i guess i've got you wondering about me well this film is called r street and in it i play the role of fraud pt fraud i advise people like you the consumer on ways to spend i mean invest their hard-earned cash interested follow me of course most people think they're too smart for me too well protected by their consumer protection agencies here take a look all they give is advice and who takes advice right or their consumer laws people really feel protected by those laws they can't believe a guy would stand there with his bare face hanging out and break a law well let me give it to you straight i didn't go to a law school so i don't know what is or isn't a law and you know something i don't care none of that stops me not door locks window bars alarm systems these things can't keep me out i get in all the time i pop in everywhere it's really easy no rough stuff no violence nothing heavy like that there are lots of ways as a matter of fact all it takes is a few feelers to get in that's all it takes you can do that anywhere in a million different ways they read me i'm excitement i'm dreams i'm everything they want me to be i'm beating the system getting something for nothing feeling smart or in or special or lucky i'm now or never a glorious tomorrow [Music] i boost morale [Music] i build confidence in the future i even get rid of their fears it's a talent i have look we've decided to look at that film after all but we'll only be looking because i know we're nowhere near ready for anything like that yet [Music] we're we're just looking and we can't afford to put anything down on see what i mean i'm action i get to people my name is fraud you look me up in the dictionary and it says i get my money under false pretenses well maybe so but most people help me out a lot we're in this together you know just watch yes afternoon ma'am i hope i'm not disturbing you but me and my men were in the neighborhood working on a heater job and we finished up just early enough to uh work one more in i don't know if you've had yours checked recently but we could give you a special price right now matter of fact i have been thinking about that heater gas leaks and all it's a dangerous thing to neglect of course this time of year we're booked solid we couldn't schedule you in for another month or so if you were to go into the office won't take but a minute or so to check right now yeah i guess it wouldn't hurt for you to look at it this is murray i'm finished here i am everything all right boy it's lucky we were in the neighborhood i'd hate to sleep in this house with that furnace the way it is but don't worry uh we turned it off turned it off well what's the matter can it be fixed oh sure we can fix it but uh it's a pretty long job and i thought you might want to call on your regular heating people i mean like i say uh we're booked solid so we couldn't come back tomorrow but it's not safe to leave it on if you want us to fix it it'd have to be now working overtime oh dear i don't know what to do uh we can't do without our heater and our regular people won't be in for a month uh how much will it cost of course in my business you want to cash that check and get out fast no point in letting yourself in for a lot of grief from the local yokels did you see how she never compared my prices never checked me out either but she did sleep better and i left the furnace just the way i found it working just fine yes would you happen to know when the edwards will be home i've been here twice today trying to make this delivery and i'm really getting desperate uh the edwards right uh well i'm uh i'm not sure when they'll be back but uh i could take that uh package and see that they get it if that's what you want would you i've got a baby coming any minute now and i've got to get to the hospital oh there's ten dollars due in the package right okay here we go let's see uh okay here take off thank you thank you all right i feel like you've saved my life i was beginning to think i'd never get to the hospital yeah think nothing of it hope it's a girl [Music] land hustling that's a business to get into even me cynical as i am i marvel at the way the boondocks are subdivided and sold at the smooth pitch that easily hoodwinks intelligent people people like you and me and at the corporations chopping up the countryside into quarter acre lots it seems that every year more people get land fever on almost every weekday evening thousands of couples across the country attend free dinners given by somebody who is hawking land why three-quarters of a million people are lured to florida alone every year by free vacation gimmicks tied in with these land promotions but land isn't the only way i can get at your ego but what about a job i thought i was guaranteed a job on graduation yes of course hey sit down here barbie come here isn't that beautiful hey you weren't worried we were going to go back on our word were you in fact we may use that same shot for our newspaper advertising and if we do you get the same fee just as for this fee yeah we've credited your final bill with a 20 model fee that's a going rate for a one-shot freelance job oh i thought you meant a career you know with a salary like a regular job hey come on you don't want to work nine to five at a desk and all right see what i mean i never promised her vogue or harper's or hollywood people are always lying to themselves dreaming it up big big big they're naturals for me that kid over there he probably saw himself taking on every kid on the block gonna turn himself into the local king kong well caveat emptor let the buyer beware that's to warn people against me that's okay but don't forget about my collaborator he's in this with me all the way and you can catch a good view of them anytime you care to look into that mirror baby just you take a nice long look into that mirror oh pardon me man uh this package came i was here and this guy was god i haven't ordered anything well maybe if you look inside it was 18 it was the poor guy's third attempt at delivery so i thought i'd help him out ah nice day in this lobby i've been taken that's a great film um and i don't know if they ever if they make films like this nowadays and educate people about uh fraudulent uh stuff because we are certainly being pounded by daily um fraudulent inquiries via email and phone it is outrageous absolutely outrageous all right let's see what we got going on next um thanks everybody for donating coffee it's always a great way to support av geeks um i did a screening at duke university well at duke university um and i showed uh various films that deal with race and this one was part of a minority youth series um made by bailey film associates and it looked at different cultures and this one uh deals with a young um native american this is adam no no more no more sonys they all turn to the other way into white people they're not to recognize you know the indians they're mostly almost white so not many indians left it is sad but then what can we do about it when i first realized i was indian i was about four or five in kindergarten and i used to tell people i was an indian from india because that's what sounded like indian but you know we should say little stuff like that because you know we didn't know nothing about indians [Applause] everybody says the indians are savages and stuff like that because the publishers wrote it out like the indians they scalped all the people and you know in the west something like that they don't tell why like in the beginning the reason why the indians were fighting against the white men is because they don't want the white people to settle on indian land and then later some of the french sculpting indian and they get some money off of it you know you know like about 25 bucks ahead they just censor all that stuff out of the books so you guys start out once in a while asking your own questions and then getting the answers for it too people think that you know indies are special special people like they could run better than other people and all that because you know this person at school in the seventh grade he goes oh i'll be anything you could outrun me so we had a race and he won he is a much faster guy too and he goes oh i thought indians were always faster than other people some people are you know prejudiced against the indians you know they started saying all this stuff like hey when are you ever gonna get your hair cut what are you gonna do with it going a warp path or something like that so i don't hang around them at all i consider growing my hair as being an indian thing because the indians they had along here a long time ago so i'm just doing what they did [Music] [Music] hey i like keeping up our traditions and all that dancing is part of it i've been dancing since i was about five years old they get them when they're just about to walk put on costs and then they get them out there to dance everybody doesn't wanna in the beginning it's a real shy of crowds my first cousin had a fox hat with three feathers sticking out of it and a bug skin vest little bells and moccasins through the store-bought gun with black hey hey right into another big chain i was dancing up at frontier village usually then later we got kind of tired going back there just for performances because you know we didn't get paid or anything like that all we did was get free rides you know all the rides we went so we got sick of the ride how about that ladies and gentlemen adam nordwall chip wants to show me let's give him a real nice round of applause hey kind of proud of that boy he's my son [Applause] [Music] i like dancing because it's the old indian way the way how they used to do it and i just feel free you know when i'm by other indians and they're dancing white people you know make remarks about my costume you know they say oh look at that funny thing they got in the back or the funny thing they have on their head but i'm just by other indians i feel good i wanted to be like my father be a spokesman for the indians and going around giving talks about the indians like most of the indian children they go getting close to white people and then they don't know much about indian culture or about the indian history so i wish someone would teach him and you know they'd patch it on and later it'd get known [Music] so [Music] later on in about five six years when i get out of high school my parents gonna live down to the reservation because we only got a little two and a half acres and so we're gonna get a house on it and we're gonna live off of that [Music] eddie it's my grandchild i i just love him you know when he comes here he's fun [Music] my grandmother tells me a lot about india's you know the old ways but usually when my mother's there she talks in indian and i don't know what a thing she's saying only a couple of little words here and there oh i was telling them last night what does your mama teach you she she had no indian language either from their mother so she don't teach him all english all the time so kids when i talk what's that grandma we want to know what is it so she tries to teach me some of the language like she says like that so you know what that mean three points so i go get her cigarettes or whatever they are and you know i take lucky guesses [Music] yeah that's all he can understand so she thinks i've known the language a little better one has taken more lucky guesses you know these four things are it's fading away from them the indian language they're all that way i don't know about my youngest sister but my oldest one said that she'd you know rather get married to an indian because then she'd like to have little children bring love dancing and teach them some of the history but now she's going off the white guy you know i don't know what she's gonna say now she might change your mind it's okay to go with them but then later you know get married to them they should stay with indian traditions save the indian people because later there'll be no indians no no more no motions they all turned to the other way into white people so not many indians left it is sad but then what can we do about it we're gonna try to keep up the thing that we did in the past and see how long we could do it keep on keeping on our beliefs religion and all that and so we hope it doesn't die out because then we'll be gone foreign [Applause] uh oh my gosh i was muted the entire time i'm so sorry anyways uh three o'clock i'm going to do a show um about uh called voting the
