Hey, all.

Firstly, we ended the podcast. After 201 episodes, it’s time to let this evolve to the next stage. After letting this thing run ahead of us, we’ve decided to take the initiative and change things ourselves. We hope that it will be for the better, and we hope that you’ll join us.

The new podcast will be “Comedy Above the Pub” and we will be doing a similar style of show focusing as always on comedy, but bringing in other guests that may not be comedians themselves, but are in fact funny. You’ve been with us through many laughs and we hope that you join us in this new endeavour.

We look forward to bringing you a weekly show once again and we hope that you’ll let us know what you think and become part of the conversation. We can’t wait to talk to you once again.

Thanks for listening!

Folks, this is it. This is the last episode of the TVA Podcast. After this, we’ll be embarking on a new endeavour. There will be a transition episode that comes out after this official release to walk you through it. But yeah, this is it for the podcast. We can’t thank you enough for your support and listenership and hope you join us further on our next step in the journey.

Our last show couldn’t have a better guest in my opinion, funnyman and show man MIKE DAMBRA.

Thanks to Stephen and Shelley for the emails.

Here’s Shelley’s comments on episode 99:

I’m loving the music discussions.

I’m with Dave and Double Scotch – Cold as Ice is great.

Must admit, I’m in complete disagreement with all of you regarding the Eagles. I absolutely love them and will never turn them off.

Aqualung can go drown itself.

The Steve Miller band is great but Abracadabra is horrible.

Queen’s music is almost ALWAYS way too overplayed – everywhere.

And while I normally turn up Sweet Home Alabama when I hear it (which isn’t nearly as frequently as it used to be now that I don’t have a radio in the office), Kid Rock has kind of ruined it for me by sampling it on EVERY freaking album he puts out! Not to mention his recent release which is all about the song! AAARRGGGHHH

There is a great Billy Joel song called Angry Young Man. The piano work is fabulous.

Actually, you can say a lot of bad things about Journey. The sappy romantic ballads and over played-ness of the whole thing….. Just hurt me.

Lyrically, Dust in the Wind is pretty cool. I saw Kansas with Styx a number of years ago – and all I wanted to do was pierce my ear drums.

Warren Zevon has some amazing other stuff – they just never play it….

Almost anything Boston does should be shot and buried.

I was waiting for you guys to get to Bob Seger. When I was travelling to Texas regularly for work, there seemed to be only one station we could pick up clearly while driving and they were OBSESSED with Seger. We started to refer to the station as the all-Seger-all-the-time channel. VERY annoying.

Never been much of a Floyd fan myself, so I really shouldn’t comment.

BTO is WAY overplayed, especially up here. It’s like there aren’t enough Canadian artists to make up a real playlist.

Can’t stand Radar Love either.

Walk This Way is one of my least favourite Aerosmith songs.

Sorry, but I can’t agree with the American Pie one. I love that song – just not the Madonna version.

Don’t Fear the Reaper can go rot somewhere.

Crocodile Rock still amuses me. Sorry to say….

I actually kind of like the Doors.

I seriously think that most of the classic stuff doesn’t bother me as much as it used to, mostly because I don’t hear much radio anymore. I’m all about the TVA podcast now.

In this week’s episode, we are welcomed by funnyman DAVE PATERSON:

- Dave explains the bail-outs

- We look at the new shows that are on television

- We look at the shows each of us are doing and review the shows we’ve done. Some are good. Others, well, not so much.

Music: Bonita by The Pimps of Joytime

http://www.businesspundit.com/sub-prime/

Dave’s Email:

Basically you have very opaque vehicles paying a higher than realistic yield to investors. But they were Mortgages and mortgages are relatively safe right? Usually, yes since the loan to value ratio is typically in the 70% to 80% range which provides lenders with a fairly high margin of safety in the risk of default. However, they also combined shit loans in some cases NINJA loans (No Income, No Job or Assets) with quality loans which dilutes the quality of the pools. Now, the wall street guys lever up the pools to provide even higher yields, but still won’t tell anybody exactly what’s in them other than mortgages and most people think mortgages are safe.

Ratings agencies came in and looked at them and more or less thought, hey it’s mortgages, but really didn’t understand what was in them so they gave them a high rating. Pension funds and insurance companies didn’t do their own research and relied on the ratings agencies and bought these things blindly. (As an aside, many PM’s I’ve spoken with here didn’t touch these things because they didn’t’ understand them.) Why did they buy them? Greed, because they were paying a higher yield on a “guaranteed” security.

So when people started defaulting on their mortgages the payments stopped. When the payments stopped, people holding the pools wanted to sell. But because of the mix of shit in the pools and the fact that most were starting to see a stop in payments nobody wanted to buy the crap. So you have billions and billions, quite possibly trillions ties up in this shit and nobody wants to buy it until they know what’s in it.

Now because of Mark to Market Rules, companies holding this crap have to value it at the lower of cost or market. Because nobody wants to buy this shit, the market value is essentially $0. So now companies are holding pools of mortgages that are worth something (only 22% of the mortgage market was in sub prime and even there you’re looking at about a 30% default rate so the impact isn’t as bad), but they have to mark them down to essentially zero. Now, just for fun, add in the fact that the investment banking sector relies on credit to operate. But, you have trillions tied up in shit and nobody wants to lend to anybody and you get a liquidity crisis. Basically nobody is lending money to anybody which grinds the economy to a halt.

It’s really kind of cool, since I don’t know how they’re going to get out of it. The US government is in a difficult position because they really should let all these companies fail which will create the unwinding or deleveraging of all these pools and will ultimately speed up the healing process. Only the best run companies will still be in business, which is why we have markets and capitalism and stuff. However, if they do that, regular people will get panicked and cause run on the banks making things even worse essentially killing the US economy.

So here we are. The government/Central Bank needs to inject billions upon billions into the markets every day to insure proper liquidity and allow markets to work. (Injecting billions isn’t handing over billions, they are essentially making a ton of overnight loans to banks so it’s not like a never ending bottomless pit of money)

So, stay tuned. Apparently this ended up being a bit long. Not unlike one of TVA’s setups – Boo Ya!

Gentlemen -

I appreciate the personal welcome in episode 69. Congratulations on
keeping the show going and evolving for so long. Hats off to you!

Regarding the topic of “the podcast is great when you have absolutely
nothing to do”, tell Blanchard I DO bring books on flights, but I use
the podcast while I read to block out fellow-passenger noise.

I used to listen to music on flights, but found myself singing along,
resulting in reprimands by flight attendants (except one – I think his
name was Blaine – who smiled and winked at me, but that’s another
story….). Using the podcast is great, because there is no risk of
singing. Or laughter, for that matter……

Oh, and Darcy, not sure if you’ve tried this, but when doing remotes
with the H2, just put it on something soft – like a towel or a folded
up jacket or Todd’s head or something. Keeps the spiking down on the
thumps.

Thanks for the entertainment.

Your Newest Listener,
Doug
