WEBVTT - ‘Tech Tuesday’ with Rich DeMuro | Relationships & Your Brain 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.480 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:05.080 six forty. 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:11.440 Bill Handle here on a Taco Tuesday, October seventh. Some 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.200 of the stories we are looking at and there's a 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.599 lot going on. Government shutdowns still happening, and we don't 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.640 know when it's going to end. Both sides are intransigent 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.840 about it. And it's been two years since the war 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.000 in Gaza has started, and the talks are actually at 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.280 the closest point, and you've got Hamas and the US 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.960 and Israel in Cairo negotiating at least the release of 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.519 the hostages. It is time for Rich to morrow and 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:44.159 our tech segment Tech Tuesday. Rich is here every Saturday 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.920 from eleven am to two pm. He's on KTLA every 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.440 day and you can follow on Instagram at Rich on 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:53.960 Tech and his website is rich on Tech dot TV. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.840 And good morning Rich, Good morning to you. Bill. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.960 Okay, we are in the middle of pro days at 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:08.399 on the website. And I took advantage yesterday already, yep, yep, 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:09.760 I took advantage yesterday. 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.480 This is true. By the way, I'm not this is 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:11.960 not a joke. 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:18.680 I bought a bagel cutter, bagel slicer for sixteen dollars 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:24.680 normally sixteen dollars and seventy four cents. Oh wow, yeah, no, 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.560 it's impressive. And now I use it this morning. And 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.600 here's something about the bagel cutters, not that you know, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.880 but I'm going to give everybody an inside scoop here, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.280 and that is, you can't have real soft bagels because 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.960 if you have soft bagels, they sort of crunch. You 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.280 need a little bit hard bagels when using a bagel cutter. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.880 But that's neither here nor there. Let's talk about the 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.199 big deal days. What are we looking at deal wise? 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.560 Yeah, so I've been scouring Amazon all morning and the 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.640 deals are there. So everyone says, hey, you know, rich, 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.040 what should I buy? How should I buy it? My 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.880 advice is this, if you need a bagel slicer, go 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.000 for it. If you don't, don't be searching Amazon all 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.520 day just aimlessly for stuff to spend your money on, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.280 because it's just not going to work out for you. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.440 So again, if you followed my advice before, I always say, 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:12.960 put the stuff you need in your cart. So I 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.480 had all my stuff in my cart this morning, and 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.680 I looked at it. A lot of the prices dropped, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.920 and so I purchased a bunch of stuff that I 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.720 was going to get anyway, and it was on my list. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.040 But it's just stuff that I was watching. So that's 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.880 my number one advice. Look for the things that you 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.760 need around the house, the stuff you reorder, even if 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.040 it's lame, just you know today it's probably on sale, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.720 so go ahead and get it. With that said, I 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.920 have been compiling a list of stuff that I would 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.919 buy on Prime Day. I put out my website rich 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.680 on tech dot TV, and you know, I'm looking at 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.280 the electronics. So most of the products that I'm posting 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.280 on there, actually all of them are at their lowest 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.000 prices ever. Now when I say that, that doesn't mean 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.600 they've never been that price before. But Amazon, if you 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.000 look at the price history on these products, which every 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:00.600 single one of them, I go through and make sure 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.600 I look at the price history, it typically has gone 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.280 on sale to the lowest price just one time before, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.679 and that is in July during their previous Prime Day. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.760 So the prices are really good today. Air Pods ninety bucks, 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.880 iPad two hundred and eighty dollars, tiny bluetooth speaker from 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.079 JBL that I like twenty five dollars, Apple Watch two 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.000 hundred and seventy nine dollars, air Tag some of the 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.200 lowest prices ever. Right now, let's see what else do 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.240 I have here. Belkan's portable charger, lowest price ever, twenty 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.080 seven bucks. You gotta have one of those in your 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.240 bag so that you can charge your phone on the go. 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.880 I've got another. Let's see beach USBC cables. They just 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.200 came out with these. They come in great colors. They're 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.560 usually nineteen bucks, rare sale on a beach product twelve dollars. 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.200 My favorite earbuds under fifty dollars. They usually sell for 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.520 seventy three. So forty seven bucks for cheap earbuds is 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.880 a great deal. I've got some laptops. People are asking 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.120 about laptops. Those are a fantastic deal. We're talking in 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.680 a Lenovo for five hundred bucks and HP for five 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.920 point fifty. So again, it really comes down to do 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.120 you need these things? But if you do, they are 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.280 at some of their lowest prices of the season, and 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.120 that's a good thing. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.800 All right. So two questions. Question number one, I look 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:17.480 at TVs. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.880 The price of TVs sort of the bell weather of 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.279 prices in general, and of course the price of TVs. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.719 I mean, you can get a what eighty five inch 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.440 TV today for six hundred bucks? Has the price of 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.880 the Imax TV gone down to under fifty dollars? 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:40.919 Yet TVs keep getting cheaper. But here's the thing. These 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880 manufacturers are smart because what they do is they keep 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:48.440 adding new display technologies. So although you can get a 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.360 TV for very cheap, you can go to your best 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.000 buy and it's super duper cheap. They are usually using 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.479 the older display technologies on those screens. What does that mean? 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.560 That screen's not going to be as bright, are not 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.320 going to pop as much, You're not going to have 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.599 as many viewing angles from the sides. All that really 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.120 doesn't matter because a lot of people are upgrading from 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.760 an older TV anyway, so everything is going to look better. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.360 But if if you're looking at the high end TVs, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.159 those are going to have the best displays. And right now, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.159 the name of the game is that each individual pixel 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:24.559 is lit by itself, which means colors just look way better. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.520 They can control the brightness and the contrast and all 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:28.120 that good stuff. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.960 Yeah, when you bring up you know, when you bring 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.920 a TV home, you're not comparing it to other TVs. 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.120 I mean, you know, I don't buy expensive TVs. I 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.320 sort of buy middle of the road TVs. I'm not 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.040 going to spend two thousand dollars for sixty five inch TV, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.200 and I'm not going to spend two hundred dollars for it. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.919 But in reality, you go home and you sort of 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.799 that's your TV. I mean, you're you're not comparing TV 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.760 to TV. So that's that's one. The other thing is, 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:01.360 as I'm joking about the Imax TVs, have those big, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.960 big TVs, are they dropping in price and how big 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:04.599 are they getting? 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.679 They are dropping in price. I mean I'm seeing over 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.920 one hundred inch TVs at the shows that I've been 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.720 to lately, so those are still very expensive. But considering 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.119 I mean, you can get one hundred inch the TV. 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.320 I have the U eight from High Sense, which is 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.719 a fantastic value. You can get a one hundred inch 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.000 TV deliver it's your home for thirty five hundred dollars. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.360 That is unheard of. You know, a couple of years ago, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.839 you can get a much more reasonable sixty five inch 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.800 for under one thousand. So I think TVs when it 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.640 comes to pursing those They are definitely a better price 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.239 during Black Friday and. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:44.840 When's it Super Bowl? 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.799 So if you're on the fence about a TV, probably 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.520 wait just a little bit till Black Friday for better deals. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.080 All right, Rich, some news on chat GPT you want 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:54.400 to share. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.800 Yeah, this is actually really cool. I know that all 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.520 this AI stuff is a lot. We've been hearing so 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.359 much about it and it just continues to change on 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.680 a daily basis, But this is actually really neat. So 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:12.720 chatbt is now interacting with various apps that we know 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:19.720 and love. So we're talking Booking dot Com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Zillow. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:21.240 And what does that mean. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.520 It means that think about chat gybt as now a 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:29.320 front end way to ask questions of these other apps. So, 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.840 for instance, Zillow, what would you do. You'd go to 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.960 zilo dot com, You'd select the sliders. You'd say, I 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.040 want a house for under this price with this many 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.120 bedrooms in this neighborhood, and then you look at the schools, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.200 and then you'd further, you know, refine your filtering and 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.080 look at the houses. With this, you can now just 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.080 stay inside the chat GBT chatbox and just say, hey, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.200 go search Zilo for homes under this price, walkable to 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.880 restaurants five you know, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and I 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.800 want it in a place that as a ten out 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.800 of ten school. WHOA wait, what all that? And yes, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.640 chat gbt will return you the answers because it's doing 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.200 the search on your behalf. So why I think this 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.560 is so amazing is because it is getting to the 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.200 future that we were promised, which is talking to computers 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.520 in natural language and having them tell us the right 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.360 answer back. We've already seen that with chat gybt and information. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.800 Now we're getting even further into that. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.240 We've already seen that in two thousand and one a 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:35.720 Space Odyssey, and it's pretty scary stuff. So do you 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.680 have to have the chat GPT app? You download that, 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:39.960 then what do you do is go to the app 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.080 and ask the question. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.920 Yeah, so you can have the app? I don't. Yeah, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.960 it's working on the app on my phone, it's working 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:51.280 on the desktop chat gbt dot com. But you can 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.679 also basically, if you want to start this, you have 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.440 to say one of the names of the app, So 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.520 just say something like hey, check Zillow four or make 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:05.120 me an Instagram post in Canva that does this, or Hey, 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.720 find me hotels in Montreal that fit these criteria. So 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.040 and then it basically will ask you that first time 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.079 you mentioned that that term by name. It will say, okay, 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.200 do you want us to connect to your Canva account 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.240 or your Expedia account or your Zilo account. And they're 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.839 also adding other properties as well, so we're talking Uber, 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.280 we're talking Target DoorDash, so you're gonna be able to 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.480 order you know, different items just by asking chatchybt. I mean, 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.560 this is really transformational when it comes to not just 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.200 the average person like me and you that think it's interesting, 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.480 but I think for accessibility reasons, this is going to 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.680 be huge that people that may not be able to 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.480 type as easily or may not be able to speak 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.200 easily can now actually go into chatchybt and make these 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.240 commands in the natural language and get a response, and 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.320 not just a response, but also get action. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.240 So at this point, for example, when I want information, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.360 it's a Hey Siri question, and then I asked the 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.360 question whatever it is, so this would just be just 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.440 hace chat GPT or I just go on the app 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:13.440 and just ask the question. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.319 Curious as to how it works. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.559 Yeah, So I mean Siri is it's similar, but Siri 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.679 is very basic. If you said, hey, Siri, go out 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:27.120 and find me homes in Michigan with five stars school 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.320 and uh, you know a Michelin star restaurant within walking 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.679 distance of my front yard, Siri's gonna just your phone's 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.880 just going to blow up in your hands. You know, 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.240 like nothing's going to happen. Now, you do that same 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.080 query on Chat GBT with you know, the addition of 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.600 Zillo now and all these things that they've got built in, 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.560 and it's actually getting it's taking all that rich information 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.720 that Zillo has in its database and it's now tapping 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.080 into that and not just tapping into it, but it's 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.720 slicing and dicing and understanding it in a way that's 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.400 much smarter than just responding with thirty five times seven 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.320 is whatever the answer is. So it's just a it's 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.600 kind of a fundamental shift in the way we think 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.280 about computing, and it's a it's a future that many 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.240 people have always wanted, where we just ask these machines 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.840 to do stuff and they do it. We don't have 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.520 to think about when we first got smart homes, it 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.680 would be like Alexa, please turn on the lights in 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.920 you know, bedroom two, right, you had to do it 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.400 in a very standard, strict syntax that the whatever way 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.840 you programmed it. Now it's just like, hey, turn on 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.520 the lights in the bedroom and turn them off at 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.160 nine pm if you can, you know, like that kind 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.040 of thing. So it's much more natural conversation. I can't 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.120 wait to see where this goes. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.640 Okay, Ways, and it's it's conversational reporting. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.080 Now. I'm a big fan of Ways, and I love 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:50.720 the fact that I can select which language or which 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.559 accent is coming off it. 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.520 My favorite is Scooby Doo. It's true. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.439 I mean they have a Scooby do directional you know, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:01.400 voice instruction. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.160 Yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.160 No, no of me. I mean I think Amy King, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.720 I think also does one of the voices on there. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.000 I mean it's you can. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.480 Choose a bunch of Yeah, it's a bunch of fun voices. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.040 They have Santa, They've got you know, they've done a 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.360 bunch over the years. But in Ways is great because 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.280 what is It's community oriented, So when you report something, 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.920 it helps other drivers behind you. And one of those 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.840 things is accidents and road hazards. And this is a 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.400 demo I saw last year at Google in New York City. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.440 It's finally coming out. But now when you go to 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.560 report something, so you still have to tap the screen, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.800 but when you go to tap the screen, now you 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.160 can just say something naturally like hey, there's a mattress 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.920 in the road, or there's a speed trap, or there's 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.480 construction on the road, or there's traffic right now, and 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.160 AI will interpret what you're saying and now feed that 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.760 into the app and alert the other drivers behind you. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.480 So I think it's a win win for safety and 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.760 it just makes life a whole lot easier. You have 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:58.400 to sit there and look at the screen thinking what 0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.560 am I trying to report here? 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:00.560 Just say it? 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.880 Yeah. But my question is with ways because it'll report 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.360 police car ahead, or traffic signal or. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.120 A car on the road. Is it still there? Is 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:12.600 it not there? 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.400 I ignore that because I'm past that and I don't 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.520 care about anybody else driving. But it goes beyond that, 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.240 right do you simply sell my kids? 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.760 Yeah, my kids love doing the reports when we're driving. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.280 They're like, Dad, Dad, Okay, let's see in three hundred feet, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.920 two hundred feet, pet fifty is it there? 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.920 No, it's not there? Press the button. So there are 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.960 a lot of people that like this. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.840 And by the way, Ways started out as a gamified system, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.240 so it used to be when you drove streets, you 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.320 earned like coins, like virtual coins. But the whole thing 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.960 about Ways is that this was built from the ground up. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.640 They had none of their own maps, so they would 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.520 literally enlist people to drive neighborhoods, and by you driving 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.400 that neighborhood and collecting those little coins, you are helping 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.240 them build their mapping system. And of course then Google 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.560 bought them for billions of dollars and the rest is history. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.800 But it's just it's a very community based driving app, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.080 and I think that's what people still like about it. 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.480 Yeah, a couple of crazy as Raelies conceived of it, 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.199 and now there are a couple of very wealthy, crazy 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.040 Israelis to say the least. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.560 All right, I love that you have the knowledge, Bill. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.920 You have the knowledge, Bill, which I love, but you 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.080 also present it in a very different manner than I 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.440 would like. I yes, like, I know the Israelies came 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.320 up with it, but I probably would not have said 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.640 to put you said all right? 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.760 Saturday morning, eleven to two pm, Rich is live here 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.800 on KFI on KTLA every single day, Instagram at rich 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.400 on Tech website, rich on Tech dot TV, catch over 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:42.480 the weekend, rich take. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.360 Care, thanks, Bill, appreciate it. 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.520 Okay, now I want to talk about your human your 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.800 human brain, assuming that it's human, and there's an old 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.280 a there's an old adage and that is human beings 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:59.240 they walk with their feet, they stick with their face. No, no, 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:04.120 that's not right. Okay, it was right. No, no, it's 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.640 it's not right. I don't remember. I don't remember it correctly. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.280 In any case, there are some studies that have been 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.760 done on brains. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.480 What a shocker that one is. And we start with 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.480 let's talk about the brain itself. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.320 Pound for pound, the brain consumes twenty percent of all 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:24.000 of our energy. 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.360 That is a small amount of matter using a whole 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:30.480 lot of our energy. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.360 The amount of for example, the amount of blood that 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.080 goes to your brain is enormous relative the rest of 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:41.200 your body, which is why head wounds heals so quickly, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.800 because the blood just flows through like crazy. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.840 And the reason all this is this is a study 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:49.480 that was done. 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.720 Our neural network and this, according to one hypothesis done 0:15:54.800 --> 0:16:00.400 based on studies, evolved so we could juggle social network works. 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:07.040 They've connected the two social networks. Brain size. Bottom line, 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:12.160 humans are built to schmooze. That's what the studies show. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:18.200 We're just built that way. So three pounds the brain 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.920 makes up twenty two percent of our body weight, and 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:28.920 three quarters of this three pounds is the neocortex. Cognitive functions, memory, language, 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:34.880 problem solving, self awareness, and these abilities enable people to 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.680 navigate the relationships of families and friend groups and sports 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.560 teams and workplaces, and it goes on and on. So 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.320 there is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Brigham 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.440 young woman by the name of Julianne Holt Lundstad, who 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.400 has done a lot of studies in this, and she 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.680 says when people are more socially connected, they have increased 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:02.240 survival rates. There's a redisc reduced risks for cardiovascular disease 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.640 and stroke and type two diabetes and depression and dementia. 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.760 Which is why I'm probably gonna die next week and 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.399 not even know that I'm going to die, because I 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.399 don't have much of a social network. But here is 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.480 the premise, and it is really interesting. The high cognitive 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:29.280 demands of maintaining these social bonds places a limit on 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.720 the number of relationships stable relationships, which makes sense that 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:38.240 we can maintain. And this is according to another psychologist, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.040 Robin Dunbar, who's also done studies on this. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.160 And so here's what he did. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.520 Dunbar to understand the limitations of social networking because there's 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.640 only so many social groups you can deal with that 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:56.240 our brain actually is built to deal with. He examined 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.960 monkeys and lemurs and apes, and he found a connection 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.359 between the size of the neocortics that part of the brain, 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.000 and the size of the social groups. Now that hasn't 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.840 been studied before. The size of the brain, that area 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:17.719 that with the memory, et cetera. It is directly, it 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.240 directly correlates to the size of your social of your 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:23.080 social group. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.360 So he came he took a look into primate brains. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.639 He looked at neuroimaging and reviewing studies that documented the 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:36.040 grooming practices, for example, that enable primates to cultivate relationships. 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.880 You can see it by the grooming which they do. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.680 They picket little knits like I do from my hair 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.320 where I used to do it from my hair, and 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.080 these bonds that are created. What they do is create security. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:56.800 They facilitate social hierarchies. They forge alliances, which is then connected. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.320 To higher survival rates. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:04.679 So the bigger the brain means that the bigger the 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:13.160 social networking platforms you have, the longer you live, and 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.439 the healthier you are. That is the connection. So how 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.639 big are these social groups? I'll tell you when we 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:29.080 come back, because that's kind of interesting. Wow, yeah, yeah, 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.560 will very how big? And we're gonna get away and 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.240 we're giving away new Mercedes Benz to the fifth color 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:36.000 when we come back. 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.440 How's that for, Ryan Seacrest? Well done? All right, Back, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.359 we go to the study of brains. 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.199 And I love these, uh, these studies because first of all, 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.000 they're real studies and the stuff that comes out of 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.760 them are absolutely fascinating. And so, uh, there are several 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.199 studies that I'm referring to, and it has to do 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.280 with the size of your brain, that is, human beings 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:02.280 brains and the neo coortix, which is three quarters of 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.840 the brain, cognitive functions, memory, language problem solving, et cetera. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:11.480 And here is what the science says that there is 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:19.840 a direct correalition correlation between brain size, social networking, and 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.320 how big your social network is. 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.720 What are the numbers. Okay, one of the science looked 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.320 at chimps because they're the closest to us. 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.240 The average social group size of chimps was around fifty 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:42.359 fifty eight chimps around them. That was their social their platform, 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.640 and the number of chimps they hung around all right. 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:51.600 So based on that and based on how close the 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:59.080 genetic connection is, one of these sciences, Dunbar extrapolated and 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.359 he talked about the likely size of human social groups 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:03.200 and he came up with one. 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:03.959 Hundred and fifty. 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.359 Chimps are fifty one hundred and fifty for humans and 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:12.560 beyond that that has held steady since the advent of 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:19.359 human beings, unchanged in the digital age, unchanged through history. 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:23.520 And he tested his theory, went to historic texts, archaeological data, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:29.879 church congregation, and he found one fifty was the magic number, 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:36.159 including hunter gatherer kinship networks back in the Caveman days, 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:42.840 Bronze Age communities, Anglo Saxon villages, and medieval Europe, Mormon 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:47.439 wagon trains in the nineteenth century, German trailer parks that 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:53.240 exist today. So how does this boil down? The innermost 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.840 circle is just five people. Friends are family members, you 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.840 feel emotionally connected to the closest to these are people 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.879 you talk to or connect at least once a week. 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.000 Then comes a layer with ten additional good friends you 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.720 see at least once a month. So add ten to that, 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.919 and about sixty percent of your social attention goes to 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:18.240
