The guys talk about the nationwide ban of Google Glass in movie theaters. The later answer the question, "Some of my employees travel to our different offices during the week. Normally this wouldn't be a big issue but some of our offices are in different states. What should I be concerned with?" Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: All right. Welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and answer some of your business legal questions that you, the listener, can send in to ask@legallysoundsmartbusiness.com. My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. NASIR: You know, I’m wondering if we should slow down our pace, like, as far as how we talk because, you know, if you listen to NPR, they talk very slowly and are very methodical on everything that they say that it makes you want to fall asleep. MATT: Ah. Well, for me, in my opinion, I like fast talking better. I talk a little bit in general, but I listen to a good amount of podcasts. I speed it up sometimes – maybe give it a 1.5 speed or maybe even a 2.0 times if they talk… some people talk really, really slow and so you can actually double the speed. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: And then, it sounds like they’re actually talking normal. NASIR: It sounds normal? MATT: Oh, really? Yeah, I think the NPR podcast are a 2.0-speeder, as you would say. Maybe our podcast, at most, 1.25 – what would you say? 1.25er? NASIR: Yeah, I don’t know. There’s other podcast apps that allow you to go, I guess there’s a newer one – I don’t know how new it is now but it’s pretty cool. I don’t know how it does it. You can just download this podcast – or whichever one – and, at any breaks in-between talking – so, like, right now, when I pick up again, it would automatically cut that out of the podcast. Like, I guess, just any dead time, even if it’s a fraction of a second. It just automatically cuts it out so it’s just continuous talking, nonstop, which I don’t know how it does that, but it’s kind of cool. MATT: That’s strange. NASIR: Can you do the break example again? I didn’t get it. MATT: I thought it was a good example. NASIR: It was a good example. It was just funny. All right. Let’s get to our motion picture article today. MATT: Yeah, so the MPAA and NATO – but not the NATO, not the one you’re thinking of. NASIR: Not the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. MATT: Yeah, so the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) I guess have gone on – in the US, obviously – a nationwide ban of Google Glass in movie theatres. I think there have been some banning throughout the country here and there, but this is just a blanket ban that people can no longer wear that in movie theatres. I think from the legal perspective, it’s a little bit interesting because we don’t like to talk about – well, I don’t like to talk about constitutional rights on this podcast or I guess in general at all but… NASIR: Yeah, you’re anti-constitution and freedom of speech and freedoms in general so that’s why you tend to not talk about these things. MATT: That constitution is an overrated document, let me tell you. NASIR: Overrated, overreaching, it should be banned. You like the more confederate style of governance. MATT: Did you see – this was a long time ago – the Simpsons episode where they’re going through the museum and Homer is eating something and he picks up the constitution to, like, use as a napkin. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: And they come up, they’re like, “Oh.” Lisa’s like, “Dad! That’s the Constitution!” and then the security guards come up and they’re like, “Oh, you just wiped out the part about cruel and unusual punishment.” Like the Constitution could just be there for someone to pick up without any sort of protection. I mean, what do you think about this? I mean, I understand the reasoning – because it’s illegal to bring recording devices into movie theatres for pirating reasons. I mean, I guess that’s a whole other legal aspect,
