1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,853
Speaker 1: from Newstalks EDB.

3
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:15,613
Speaker 2: Twenty one to ten eleven over a little twenty one

4
00:00:15,693 --> 00:00:19,053
Speaker 2: to eleven on news TALKSB. Fiona has messaged me Jack,

5
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:20,893
Speaker 2: you're lean. I could see you doing the war climb

6
00:00:20,973 --> 00:00:24,253
Speaker 2: or the bouldering. Thanks Fiona. I appreciate that. The problem

7
00:00:24,253 --> 00:00:25,373
Speaker 2: is you also need to be strong.

8
00:00:27,733 --> 00:00:27,973
Speaker 3: Yeah.

9
00:00:28,173 --> 00:00:30,333
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced I'll be able to make the Olympics

10
00:00:30,373 --> 00:00:32,293
Speaker 2: in that sport. But no, that's a good suggestion. Thank

11
00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:34,613
Speaker 2: you very much. Time to getch up with our textbook,

12
00:00:34,653 --> 00:00:37,293
Speaker 2: Paul Stenhouse. It's been a massive week for Google.

13
00:00:37,453 --> 00:00:37,773
Speaker 3: Paul.

14
00:00:38,413 --> 00:00:39,893
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. But what what

15
00:00:39,933 --> 00:00:42,053
Speaker 2: would be your pick for the next game?

16
00:00:42,213 --> 00:00:43,853
Speaker 3: I mean, is it walking?

17
00:00:44,693 --> 00:00:47,693
Speaker 2: You would be a good walker, especially well I spit here, Oh,

18
00:00:48,413 --> 00:00:51,453
Speaker 2: especially because in New York everyone walks really quickly, right,

19
00:00:51,493 --> 00:00:55,333
Speaker 2: they walk with purpose, except for the tourists who all

20
00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:58,773
Speaker 2: like linger on the on the sidewalks. But yeah, you could,

21
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:01,013
Speaker 2: you could walk really quickly. I could see you doing

22
00:01:01,053 --> 00:01:04,213
Speaker 2: quite well on that, actually, Paul, Yeah, very good. Okay,

23
00:01:04,253 --> 00:01:08,533
Speaker 2: that's that's that's no silly Yeah, that's no sillier an

24
00:01:08,573 --> 00:01:11,573
Speaker 2: answer than anything else we've collectively thought of this morning.

25
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:14,253
Speaker 3: Archery does make sense. I like archery or shooting. That's

26
00:01:14,293 --> 00:01:15,373
Speaker 3: it's a you know.

27
00:01:15,693 --> 00:01:19,373
Speaker 2: Have you seen the size of the archery course. Archery

28
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:24,093
Speaker 2: It's impossible. Act, it's unbelievable. How good they are, like

29
00:01:24,493 --> 00:01:29,693
Speaker 2: it is Yeah, yeah, four years. Yeah, I'm not sure anyway, Hey, yeah,

30
00:01:29,733 --> 00:01:33,533
Speaker 2: big week for Google. So Google Chrome Cast is being discontinued.

31
00:01:34,413 --> 00:01:37,253
Speaker 4: Yeah, so's They've sold more than one hundred million of

32
00:01:37,253 --> 00:01:39,413
Speaker 4: these units and it's been around for eleven years. But

33
00:01:39,773 --> 00:01:42,813
Speaker 4: Google's decided that it's it's not the next big thing

34
00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:44,613
Speaker 4: or it's not the thing that's going to take them.

35
00:01:44,493 --> 00:01:45,133
Speaker 3: Into the future.

36
00:01:45,853 --> 00:01:48,213
Speaker 4: So the Crome Cast is being stopped, but it is

37
00:01:48,293 --> 00:01:51,133
Speaker 4: being replaced by the Google TV streamer.

38
00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:53,653
Speaker 3: So this is a device that actually sits sort of

39
00:01:53,693 --> 00:01:55,293
Speaker 3: more on your entertainment unit.

40
00:01:55,933 --> 00:01:57,653
Speaker 4: The Google Chrome Cast was sort of tucked was a

41
00:01:57,693 --> 00:01:59,453
Speaker 4: really tiny device. It was sort of tucked in the

42
00:01:59,453 --> 00:02:02,853
Speaker 4: back of your TV. Was absolutely groundbreaking when it launched

43
00:02:02,973 --> 00:02:05,853
Speaker 4: eleven years ago. It still is really like, it's a

44
00:02:05,853 --> 00:02:08,413
Speaker 4: pretty it's a really great entry level device into the

45
00:02:08,413 --> 00:02:09,253
Speaker 4: streaming market.

46
00:02:09,493 --> 00:02:11,693
Speaker 3: But Google says things have changed and they have.

47
00:02:13,293 --> 00:02:16,093
Speaker 4: Google Chrome Cast type technology is now built into smart TVs.

48
00:02:16,093 --> 00:02:18,333
Speaker 4: Smart TV's obviously have streaming apps and things like that,

49
00:02:18,493 --> 00:02:20,253
Speaker 4: there isn't the same need, so they're trying to work

50
00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:24,133
Speaker 4: out what's next for that kind of Google TV experience,

51
00:02:24,173 --> 00:02:27,693
Speaker 4: and it's apparently this thing that sits on your entertainment

52
00:02:27,773 --> 00:02:30,453
Speaker 4: unit that has a couple of extra features too. Jackets

53
00:02:30,493 --> 00:02:34,533
Speaker 4: also a fully featured smart speaker, so you can talk

54
00:02:34,573 --> 00:02:37,413
Speaker 4: to it like it's got your Google Assistant built into

55
00:02:37,453 --> 00:02:40,813
Speaker 4: it as well. And Google also wants it to sort

56
00:02:40,853 --> 00:02:44,053
Speaker 4: of be like one of the portals for your smart home.

57
00:02:44,493 --> 00:02:47,813
Speaker 4: So it scares all these different extra kind of connectivity

58
00:02:47,813 --> 00:02:49,773
Speaker 4: things that they never could have fit into that tiny

59
00:02:49,813 --> 00:02:53,453
Speaker 4: dongle that allows you to do things like connect to

60
00:02:53,493 --> 00:02:55,893
Speaker 4: your Nest, which is owned by Google, then your Nest

61
00:02:56,333 --> 00:03:01,453
Speaker 4: smart video cameras, security cameras, things like that, you're smart thermostat,

62
00:03:01,813 --> 00:03:03,733
Speaker 4: you know, smoke alarms, all that type of thing. So

63
00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:06,253
Speaker 4: it really wants to kind of make Yeah, they want

64
00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:09,493
Speaker 4: to kind of be almost like your home screen of

65
00:03:09,533 --> 00:03:11,773
Speaker 4: your TV, if you will, Yeah, and then from that

66
00:03:11,853 --> 00:03:14,133
Speaker 4: you then bounce out to the different things. But it's

67
00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:16,653
Speaker 4: look it's and of course it would it be twenty

68
00:03:16,773 --> 00:03:22,173
Speaker 4: twenty four without having AI included to Google's Gemini is

69
00:03:22,213 --> 00:03:25,693
Speaker 4: going to be embedded into this thing, and Gemini is

70
00:03:25,733 --> 00:03:28,573
Speaker 4: going to be providing things like TV recommendations for you

71
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:31,973
Speaker 4: and letting you use your voice to help navigate the application.

72
00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:33,853
Speaker 3: So as soon as you throw the word AI in,

73
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:35,533
Speaker 3: you need a little bit of computing power.

74
00:03:36,173 --> 00:03:38,133
Speaker 4: And so I think that's why they have thought, right,

75
00:03:38,173 --> 00:03:39,773
Speaker 4: we need to take this next step.

76
00:03:39,813 --> 00:03:42,453
Speaker 2: I mean, it does sound like a like a reasonable

77
00:03:42,533 --> 00:03:44,853
Speaker 2: next step right there. It's not like they're ditching current

78
00:03:44,893 --> 00:03:46,253
Speaker 2: Google Crime Cast users.

79
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:48,773
Speaker 4: No, And look they're still going to be available, so

80
00:03:48,893 --> 00:03:50,813
Speaker 4: by a while you can and they're still going to

81
00:03:50,813 --> 00:03:51,813
Speaker 4: support them for some time.

82
00:03:51,853 --> 00:03:53,173
Speaker 3: But I think the shame with it is.

83
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:55,813
Speaker 4: That it was just such a really easy way to

84
00:03:55,893 --> 00:03:59,253
Speaker 4: make a dumb TV smart if you will, and like

85
00:03:59,333 --> 00:04:02,053
Speaker 4: really great for second bedrooms and second homes and things

86
00:04:02,093 --> 00:04:02,573
Speaker 4: like that.

87
00:04:02,493 --> 00:04:04,293
Speaker 2: TV at the batch, all that kind of thing.

88
00:04:04,413 --> 00:04:04,773
Speaker 3: Totally.

89
00:04:04,893 --> 00:04:06,373
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a very good point.

90
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:06,533
