1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, Rich.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: Good morning to you Amy.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so we were just mentioning that, you know, sometimes

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: you look at food and you go, well, that looks good.

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's healthy, and now there's an app

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: for that.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: You know. This all started when I was in Trader

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: Joe's and I saw this woman scanning every product with

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: her phone and I was like, what are you doing

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: And she goes, oh, I'm using this app to like

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: see if these things are healthy, and I said, hmm, interesting.

14
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: So I did some research found there's a whole bunch

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: of apps out there, like Yuka that's one of them,

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: that's probably the biggest. Then there's another one called Bobby Approved,

17
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: which you might have heard of. How do you spell

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: yuca hy u ka?

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 1: You know, just like it sounds right?

20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you could download that. But the one that

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: I've been testing and I like, and I interviewed one

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: of the co founders, and I've kind of become slightly

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: obsessed with this company is called Zoe Zoe Health Zoe,

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: and their whole thing is They're not necessarily looking for

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: additives in your food and you know colors and dyes.

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: They're looking for you to eat better foods, like make

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: better choices, and so you can scan the food with

28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: their app. It works on both barcodes, but it also

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: works on something like a salad. They'll use AI to

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: figure out the ingredients and it will give you a rating.

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: It'll say, hey, you can have this, but don't eat

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: it every day. You can have this, but eat it

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: every day. And their whole point is to get you

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: to eat more plants. They also have a supplement that

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: I've tried and I kind of like that as well,

36
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: you kind of put it on your food. And then

37
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: they also have a podcast they also really have started

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: listening to and like so they're doing some really cool

39
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: things and I think it's all kind of in that

40
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: New Year realm of like just making better choices.

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Okay, and look, I can start for free. I'm downloading

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: the app as we speak.

43
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: The onboarding is a little bit much, if you ask me,

44
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: I need to tell them that because they make you

45
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: go through like a lot of like a whole lesson

46
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: before you can scan any things. I'm like, come on,

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: we can cut that in half.

48
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So I won't do that right now, I'll do

49
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: that after after wake.

50
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: Up your show. Okay.

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: So that's that's cool though. I like that idea because

52
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: I remember looking at like wings. They look harmless enough,

53
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: but then when you like dig into what they are,

54
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really high in fat and they're really

55
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, not great for you. They're delicious.

56
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, well that's that's the thing. If it's delicious,

57
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: probably not the best for you. That's what I've realized, sadly.

58
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: H All right, let's talk about another app that is

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: called are You Dead?

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: This is going viral in China. I can't say I'm

61
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: a huge fan of it, but you know, I haven't

62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: really tested this one, but it's going viral in China.

63
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: The way it works is that if you live alone,

64
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: you tap a check in button each day. If you

65
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: don't check in for two days in a row, the

66
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Apple automatically email or alert an emergency contact of your choice.

67
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: It's gone viral because a lot of young people in

68
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: China choose to live alone get married later, and of

69
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: course there's a lot of elderly people that are living

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: by themselves without family and the people who created this

71
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: app actually told the Financial Times the name. You know, Yes,

72
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: it is striking, it gets your attention, but it's all

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: for a reason. It serves as a reminder for us

74
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: to cherish the present, which I do think is a

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: good message. At the end of the day, I think.

76
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: It's a good message too. But I questioned the name.

77
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: You know.

78
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: There's funny because we were just talking about this yesterday.

79
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: My friend and I were talking about how she stays

80
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: connected with her mom because of wordle and quirdle, and

81
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: she's like, if mom doesn't do her wordle because we

82
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: share it, Like I have a group of people that

83
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: I share with my wordle and quirdal and strands and

84
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: connections and stuff. There's certain people that we go back

85
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: and forth that we did it. And she said, if

86
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: I don't get wordle and qirdal from mom, I know

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: something's off. And so she calls her.

88
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: That's see, that's smart. I've never heard of quirdle. But

89
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: is that like a new wordle.

90
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Wordle is like wordle, but you get four grids and

91
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: you have to serve you have to solve four words

92
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: and you get ten chances to do it.

93
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Oh. Interesting, Okay, well, now I see it. I'll look

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: it up.

95
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really well, it's obsessive. But and again, like Wordle,

96
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: you can only play it once a day, so it's great.

97
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice. I like that. And you're one and done.

98
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, except now I do like ten different puzzles, so

99
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: I still can do it.

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I get around that.

101
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about Nissan. I love this idea fast

102
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: wireless chargers.

103
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I thought this was just such a

104
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: smart idea. I don't know how many times I've rented

105
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: a car you have your your phone sitting there on

106
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: the wireless charger of like your whole trip. It's overheating,

107
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: it's not charging at all. And so Nissan is going

108
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: to be the first to put in what's called G two.

109
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: This is the new standard for wireless charging. It works

110
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: just the same, but it's much faster. But the other

111
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: big upgrade here is magnet. So you know how you

112
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: know you got that magnet on the back your phone.

113
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: Now they're going to have a magnet placed on their

114
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: wireless charging pad in the cars twenty twenty six Pathfinder

115
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Morano are going to be the first

116
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: two to have it and basically your phone will stay

117
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: put and in the perfect position to actually charge it properly.

118
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Very smart.

119
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I hope everybody follows suit on that have just a

120
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: place to put your phone in the car is so

121
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: annoying because not having a place, well yeah, not have it,

122
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: or looking for a place. I've got a place, but

123
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: if I turn the corner too fast, the phone goes

124
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: flying and that's right. Yeah.

125
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. And a lot of these cars, they test so

126
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: many of them. I'm like, this is where you chose

127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: to put this, like, it's such a weird location. So

128
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: this with the with the magnet will be so perfect

129
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: because your phone's not going to fly around and it's

130
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: actually going to charge perfect.

131
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, the host of rich on Tech.
