" The darkness and it auction house and everyone really loves you just are who you are."

" ourselves."

" Yeah and any greater real news urged the Gary losing. --"

" And anything -- comes from people want."

" yeah days inspiration to all -- What advice can you yeah you wouldn't expect."

" The only look Hillary's I think. What he's doing it. And ultimately yeah. -- Something else."

" Let me show you future."

" I'm so excited because this past week was gone down at fourth birthday. And you know lean on that went on laugh some say the party was host -- I was there's that was -- and -- the cats are rarely bother thanking god random it is not face you. And of course -- out. We feasted on him in cabinet and oh my iPod do that everyone that so grainy it is here's an investor and arrogance this."

" It's the time the show -- outline anger and tell you who could. -- Mother and that. --"

" How here's -- that special guest yeah. -- done now today's guest is an entrepreneur or author and critic of the Internet he blogs at the great the dot in dot com. The cult of the amateur how today's Internet is killing our culture welcome to popSiren Andy -- there so -- cause -- serious things."

" Bad -- could play was -- shutting down newspapers dissenting journalists are getting laid off even Hollywood and television business is in crisis but."

" An -- other jobs."

" Being created because of this naming me that's the problem and that's the the cult of the amateur and and -- and cannot -- out. Millions of people are on the Internet blogging doing video costing them podcasting but not all of them have jokes none of them are being paid so real jobs that they -- Real people real professionals who really comes and not being replaced. The."

" Some people are getting paid on -- very few years there he gave an example are very few apps successful -- sense. I mean. When you think of the grand scheme of who's creating media brain."

" But look at the record labels for example thousands of people have been laid off how many bands -- actually making any money on the Internet. Tiny amount -- so the problem is is that our professional major economies being destroyed and is being replaced by an infrastructure technology. Some Internet companies are making a fortune in the MySpace is the Google was that you choose -- and the content people in the people in the content business and not being replaced. So that technology's a tiny proportion of technologists and making a fortune. That often all the way to the bank but the rest of us journalists musicians filmmakers. When not making a living world being characterized."

" So how this different than that. Yea you mention you mention artists. You know there are artists who have come come forth and said. You know we want that we wanted distributor music refrain we want everybody to have access to it is his art is there are at that we're sharing is not all about money I mean they followed it. What's what's the probably."

" when it's not all about money that's fine but what about mortgages and I'm right so -- from Iowa common agreement orchestra going to pay for Macs on to go to school coming and put food on the table I'm gonna close my kids. I'll just so real people have real bills will mortgages real comes from the -- look at the example of Radiohead -- get a book gave away that music for free essentially. It resulted in the distance to mediation of that the news the rental business are retailers and no one really one because the majority of people stole the music they didn't pay for."

" Yeah well they make money but -- to look at -- when it when given it to businesspeople. Are kind of handy thing which is I guess probably the heart of that's our issue that's it's probably gonna want to pay their dues."

" We've gotta take responsibility for our actions on the Internet we've got to realize that if we still if we take stuff for free. Then ultimately. The content create. The person who has been the the very backbone of mainstream media business The Rolling Stones Bruce Springsteen involved in the newspaper page. Right in the future if you have access. Musicians amateur artists and the quality of the content will also be and it's that we you'll lose because ultimately we we create -- media at me. A media of -- About quality media of fighting dogs sincerely other intelligence."

" So this didn't go to narcissistic. Term that you that's somethin' that."

" Stats when a bit of the key arguments in the book is that we're living in a culture dish from Asus is me complex technology that."

" I'm HIV not like the kid -- Hong -- you know blogging about -- for lunch every five seconds."

" what he didn't eat for lunch what boyfriend what girlfriend what his desire as well honey -- kind of a neat a neat thing. And the program that is -- nothing wrong essentially is just an electronic diary today the more. Day. Broad cost themselves on the Internet that it -- data and from others the more they put their entries on Wikipedia that less than. The more they writes about news on the blogs the last newspapers they read what they put the music column on and on MySpace or you'd shoot. The less reckless that finds a quick -- in the mainstream media business. So you know you and you could feel strongly about this but you adequate solution. What a solution. A solution is to be more responsible. Solution had to accept that -- the cost solution is to accept the consequences. Of our actions. I think actually that the Internet is becoming more professionals I think a show like -- Reflects a good compromise between the the user generated content on the Internet patent mainstream media acknowledged that mainstream media can be inflexible paragon often. Must be fast these boring right so the Internet is good when professional media people like yourselves use it to distribute high quality content. It doesn't have value when it simply becomes a platform for broadcasting us."

" So you know I was reading some of the book reviews on Amazon. You know anti Christ of Silicon Valley was something -- crisis comes just -- jumped out at me act it wasn't you found that."

" It -- I mean I'm not Christian. I so I didn't take it pass me my. I'm Jewish so. It was rather amusing -- good idea I mean what you think people have responded so vehemently. To because I think is the because the focus touch and that we've had hundreds of books say how wonderful the hundreds and hundreds of books and suddenly the little guy like myself comes on -- upon on -- sort of crap is a lot of -- And people don't want to hear that I'm the one -- expose the fact that the emperor isn't wearing any clothes do you like emperor is in silicon mentally. The emperor is naked and very very outstanding -- read -- yeah the amber is walking through the streets and everyone is is is go walking in them what wonderful close what a wonderful -- and on the first person to come -- actually that emperor is naked -- wearing anything. And it's a rather ugly side. Well."

" Asked it is and we actually as your bug eyes I happen to like different screen seduction that great addiction. -- and thank you so much for being on the show thank you used by another twenty million pounds we're I was so web two point out. I happy on the show on. Not everything's great there are -- baby is -- and in the that you shouldn't be on the Internet. Be sure to check and -- called an amateur how today's Internet is killing our culture and his blog of course at the great induction dot com. --"

" Yeah. -- and now -- blind yeah."

" Thank ladies. With summer coming finding gas prices -- getting higher and higher every tiny get a car probably feels like hugest. Throwing money away. Today and going to show you a fun parlor trick that -- me and down all your friends who don't watch popSiren. But don't let the -- reason not to tell your friends about this amazing show science and popSiren I think to share. Anyway today. Gonna burn some money well not really burn it and that's the trick because you know you can get arrested for burning up this country's hard earned cash. Just watch. Cool -- and you Monday. But what do you think did happened the money got on fire but it did him in the technical term for bringing it combustion. The same process allows our cars engines to run the bringing us some fuel source. Create intense relief the energy in the form of heat and -- make better fuels than others. That'd -- combustion more easily lower temperatures and check out what happens if -- and it's sad to burn them normal paper. Paper Charlie -- right. I didn't many show the firing of combustion. Well for one it was a pre treated with a mixture of a 5050 solution and alcohol and water. I used in 91%. Rubbing alcohol and regular water to create my solution. The money denomination -- side is the merger affiliation. The material that makes -- many absorbs the water in the solution and because the water -- insulation with alcohol. He alcohol gets pulled close to the money to. When alcohol and water are combined it when a solution and doing things considered admissible. Kind of like being makes them flexible. But it deals with the company -- ability of liquid. Been permissible means that they can dissolve completely in one another. Why random chemistry fact for you all is that if you combined fifty liters of water with fifty milliliters about all. It doesn't actually add up to 100 milliliters of solution when the two compounds are combined the water molecule get pulled into alcohol. By hydrogen bonding but because the water molecule is so much smaller than alcohol molecule the -- just natural writing into the open they can't. And decreases the overall volume of the final solution. The -- of the fame. But you end up with a different volume about 96 -- there's a solution and I have a hundred just because of the way to to compound it together."

" I'm gonna get busy that I know you all."

" A lot more fire -- heard it in lots of emails informed discussion ID can I do keep track those forums that video. What actually happens when I take this twenty dollar bill. That get soaked in the solution. And then satellite. Get the extra my hand here and let the water drain off of that legislation -- it'll burn -- a temperature that's lower than material in the bill that is has a lower temperature combustion. So when I like this bill the alcohol will burn before the actual billed -- Additionally the water and it's been absorbed by the material will be heated the heat will be Condit to vaporize removing itself from the bill. In the air and in doing -- carry heat away from the bell."

" I don't."

" let a little bit you'll see that. Actually the tables on fire and that's really nice one. Good move means keeping the table on. The village you might think cool and pretty much fire free. Thank goodness cooler -- always prevail ladies. Back to you."

" It is that Kiki she's not afraid -- just burned my money you know that could be haven't -- yeah me. He think he's the fire to create more money yes that would vehicles and expect it. I was -- day become a firefighter went to change the -- about money because not all about money now. -- Sharon we're about more than whereabouts in fact yes what he had never heard of such a thing. Is is this confusion made by deeply it twigs going to Key West and I are just a few simple -- thousand do you buy it is. So let's get sponsored I Gypsies the -- to fulfill all of your -- And -- list at and -- to absentee parents and low density gets a dash he would act ladies and gentlemen in my -- check out our -- hasn't -- that that you -- tops that pop factory. That is stripped. And -- that's just where it might get it may get different."

Today and going to show you a fun parlor trick that -- me and down all your friends who don't watch popSiren. But don't let the -- reason not to tell your friends about this amazing show science and popSiren I think to share. Anyway today. Gonna burn some money well not really burn it and that's the trick because you know you can get arrested for burning up this country's hard earned cash. Just watch. Cool -- and you Monday. But what do you think did happened the money got on fire but it did him in the technical term for bringing it combustion. The same process allows our cars engines to run the bringing us some fuel source. Create intense relief the energy in the form of heat and -- make better fuels than others. That'd -- combustion more easily lower temperatures and check out what happens if -- and it's sad to burn them normal paper. Paper Charlie -- right. I didn't many show the firing of combustion. Well for one it was a pre treated with a mixture of a 5050 solution and alcohol and water. I used in 91%. Rubbing alcohol and regular water to create my solution. The money denomination -- side is the merger affiliation. The material that makes -- many absorbs the water in the solution and because the water -- insulation with alcohol. He alcohol gets pulled close to the money to. When alcohol and water are combined it when a solution and doing things considered admissible. Kind of like being makes them flexible. But it deals with the company -- ability of liquid. Been permissible means that they can dissolve completely in one another. Why random chemistry fact for you all is that if you combined fifty liters of water with fifty milliliters about all. It doesn't actually add up to 100 milliliters of solution when the two compounds are combined the water molecule get pulled into alcohol. By hydrogen bonding but because the water molecule is so much smaller than alcohol molecule the -- just natural writing into the open they can't. And decreases the overall volume of the final solution. The -- of the fame. But you end up with a different volume about 96 -- there's a solution and I have a hundred just because of the way to to compound it together."

" I'm gonna get busy that I know you all."

" A lot more fire -- heard it in lots of emails informed discussion ID can I do keep track those forums that video. What actually happens when I take this twenty dollar bill. That get soaked in the solution. And then satellite. Get the extra my hand here and let the water drain off of that legislation -- it'll burn -- a temperature that's lower than material in the bill that is has a lower temperature combustion.

Best episode ever!

Moujan did a great job co-hosting (Please join Twitter, Moujan :D), the failed segments segment (and the callback during the fringe) was hilarious, the gate suffix bit was pure genius, the explanation of combustion was fascinating, especially the description of how alcohol and water behave in solution (I'm going to have to try the burning money trick), Apes & Androids sound really interesting, I'm going to have to check them out and Moujan's string of outtakes was adorable.
The only part of the episode that I didn't like was the infuriating Andrew Keen interview (let the dinosaurs die, slowly and painfully), but I guess it's always useful to understand both sides of an issue and I have to give Popsiren a lot of credit for being willing to give time to such an unpopular viewpoint.

Rev3 already has a show like DudeSiren....it's called DIGGNATION!

Sounds like Andrew Keen is a little bitter. I think he needs to look less at the "amateurs" he is complaining about and look inward. Seems to me that many "professionals" now and days don't act like it. Integrity has gone out the door and things like mass media now bend the truth to serve their own agenda. I think that many in the public are now recognizing the bullshit and turning to alternate sources via the internet. Plus I think that there are far worse things destroying today's culture mostly being a lack of personal accountability and respect of people's privacy...but that's just me.

Great show ladies and we still miss Neha....
