1
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: Facebook. Let's you turn off those creepy ads for the

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: stuff that you just looked at online. Apple and Samsung

3
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: duke it out. That's nothing new, but there is a

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: new part to that, a way to get free calls

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: and texts, Yes, including cellular service and the Peloton experience

Speaker 1: for half the price. What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro.

Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about.

Speaker 1: Plus it is the exclusive place where I answer the

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: questions that you send me. Joining me as producer Megan

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: as always. Hey, hey, oh it's back and we have

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: a guest as well. Will is shadowing for the day. Welcome,

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: how's it going.

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I heard that you just recently switched from Android to iPhone.

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: This is true.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Why did you do that?

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Let's see. So I'd had my Samsung Galaxy S seven

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: for a little bit and I just decided to see

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: what was going on with uh on the Apple side

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: of stuff.

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I made the switch. And interesting. Will is a

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: student in high school and you're just doing kind of

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: a career week where you're shadowing different people to see

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: what you might want to do in the future. Yeah,

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: how's it going so far today at the TV station?

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: It's been pretty fun, just getting ah, you know, quick

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: rundown of how things operate a little bit.

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: How would you describe in two words what the atmosphere

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: here is like besides tense?

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh boy? Uh I guess last minute?

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Oh nice?

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: What does that say about?

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: That's good? Last minute is because TV is like always changing.

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with news where it's like constantly running. It's

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: always it's interesting to see how like parts that you'd

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: think would be you know, planned out for over like

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: a long period of time has to be carried out

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: in like you know, very you know, crunch time, Yes, situations.

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: It is. And that's the beauty of news is that

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: if you like change, if you like being on the

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: edge of your seat all day long, then this is

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: a really good business because nothing is like you're not

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: just sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting for the clock

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: to hit five o'clock. Ever, for us, when we're watching

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the clock, it's because we have a deadline at five

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: am or six am or seven fifteen or whatever it is.

48
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: So that's a nice part about it. And do you

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: like the iPhone so far? I do? I do.

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: It's it's nice because I have a MacBook Pro at

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: home that I use for school and whatnot, so it's

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: nice to have, you know, a more like seamless integration

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: of like texts and FaceTime and whatnot.

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the one thing I noticed is when

55
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I try to go back to Android, is that the

56
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: way Apple just gets you in with everything working so well,

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: it's really tough to go back between air Drop and

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I Message, even though I love Shotgram. But let's start

59
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: with our first story and we'll feel fit to chime

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: in whenever you want, as long as I'm not talking nice. Actually,

61
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: this is a new thing from Facebook. So you've been

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: on Facebook, you know that a lot of times you're

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: on there and you see ads for stuff that you

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: literally just looked at online. So you're shopping for a

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: toothbrush and I feel like we've talked about this before,

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: but you're shopping for something online, and next thing, you know,

67
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: all your ads on Facebook and by extension, Instagram become

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: ads for these things that you just recently looked at.

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: And the way they do that is because every website

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: that you go to is sort of reporting back to

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Facebook that you visited. So that they can sell ads

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: against your visit. They say, oh, we just had Megan

73
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: come here and we know that she almost bought a toothbrush,

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: So if we show her two more ads on Facebook,

75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: maybe she'll be pushed over the edge and buy that toothbrush.

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: And that's what happens. That's the new advertising world we

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: live in. And I did a blog post about this

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: on my website, rich on tech dot tv, as well

79
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: as a little video that shows you how you can

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: now turn this off. And this is part of Facebook

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: trying to be more trained parent. Facebook trying to make

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: us feel like we have some control in our lives,

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: which we really don't. But they have this new tool

84
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: called off Facebook Activity and when you toggle there's two

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: things you can do. You can just view your activity.

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: You can clear that activity out so they will show

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: you all. When I looked at mine, it was I

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: think they show you the last six months, but it

89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: was every app that I opened on my iPhone, like

90
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: even my workout app Aptive. It was like, oh, it

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: sent information to Facebook that I just worked out. You know,

92
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: every little app sends information every website. There was no

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: surprises in there. I mean everything I saw I was like, Okay, yeah,

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: I visited those sites, some of the little sites that

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: my kids visit on my phone, some of the games

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: they play. Of course they were reporting back information. But

97
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: again it's all to build this profile of you so

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: that advertisers can target their ads. And it totally makes

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: sense from an advertising standpoint, because do you want to

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: sell your ads to someone who's interested or expressed interest

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: in toothbrushes, like Megan because she just visited a toothbrush website,

102
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: or do you just want to put your toothbrush ad

103
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: out there for everyone and hope that people are in

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: the market for a new toothbrush, which is the way

105
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: broadcast TV in the past has worked, and also magazines

106
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: and newspapers. But this is why people love internet advertising

107
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: because it's been so targeted. Now you can turn that

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: off if you go to a section of Facebook under

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the site. It's really complicated, but you go. It's easy

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: to do, but a hide it. You go to settings,

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: You go to Facebook your Facebook information and then tap

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: off Facebook activity and under that you can tap clear

113
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: history to delete out the data. Or if you don't

114
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: want websites setting information in the future, look for the

115
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: option labeled manage future activity and you can toggle that

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: blue switch off. I know this a podcast. You're not

117
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: writing this all down. Just go to my website rich

118
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: on tech dot tv. I wrote all of the steps

119
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: out very clearly, so you can do this and you'll

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: see less ads that are super targeted because they just

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: won't have as much data on you. They'll still get

122
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: all the data about what you're doing on Facebook, you know,

123
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: and that's the whole reason they had you like stuff

124
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: like your favorite bands, like your favorite TV shows, so

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: they could build a profile about you. Now it's just

126
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: gotten to the point of anything you do online reports

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: back to Facebook. But you can turn that off now.

128
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: So good to know off of Facebook activity, Megan. First question.

129
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so if you want to send in your question

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 4: to Rich, go to his website rich on tech dot

131
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: tv and hit the contact button to send your question.

132
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: Our first question today comes from and Hi, Rich, I

133
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: suspect that someone is reading my texts by using spyware

134
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: of some kind. Is there a way to protect against this?

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: I know it's illegal, but what can I do?

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I wonder why she thinks she's being stocked her text?

137
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: Also, how do you get spyware to read people's text.

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm trying to think. I would think

139
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: on Android it would be well, we know that Jeff

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: Bezos had his phone packed, so if it can happen

141
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: to him, we've talked about this, it can happen to anyone.

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: I often get this question in various forms, and I

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: think what it comes down to, there's several ways that

144
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: people can do this. If you have an iPhone, the

145
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: easiest way is if they have access to your iCloud.

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: So a lot of couples will share iCloud login information

147
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes that will also give deliver your text messages

148
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: realistically your I messages to their phone and vice versa.

149
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: A lot of families tell me this, They say, oh,

150
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: I've got my whole family signed up on the same iCloud.

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: We're not using separate accounts. We just all sign in

152
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: with one account, and a lot of information gets shared

153
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: between the phones that is meant to be for one person.

154
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: So I would say that's probably the first way, is

155
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: that someone might be logged in with her iCloud account

156
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: and looking at her messages in the cloud. That could

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: be one way. I don't know of an app, like

158
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: if they installed spy were on her phone, I think

159
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: it'd be really tricky because umber one, Apple doesn't really

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: give you access to text messages on the iPhone no

161
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: matter what I mean. You'd have to be a real

162
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: hacker to get into those. Now, if she's on Android,

163
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: it's much easier, and there's a lot of different ways

164
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: you can do it on Android because pretty much any

165
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: app that you download can have access to your text

166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: messages on Android if you grant that access. So someone

167
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: could have installed an app that's lurking in the shadows

168
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: on her Android and reporting all those texts back to them.

169
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, I don't think any of

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: this is happening. It might be something that she thinks

171
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: is happening, right, because she.

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 4: Said, I suspect that someone is reading my text.

173
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: But those are the scenarios that I think could lead

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: to someone looking at her text right right. And if

175
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: you do suspect this, I would go with the nuclear option,

176
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: which is reform at your phone and just clear everything

177
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: off and start over and sign in with a new account.

178
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Whether it's Google or Face or Apple, just sign up

179
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: with a new account, and that way, no one's going

180
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,119
Speaker 1: to be able to get access to those new messages

181
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: unless they're getting access to them at the network level,

182
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: which would be really tricky.

183
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's intense.

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really intense first question, I like.

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: To start it off. Yeah, really really intense question.

186
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: So this kind of plays into what we just talked

187
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: about with Will and switching from Android to iPhone, and

188
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: it's something that I recently did as well with the

189
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven. I went kind of all in when I

190
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: got the iPhone, and I usually switch phones several times

191
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: a year, but I've pretty much been with the iPhone

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: exclusively for a while now, and it's kind of crazy

193
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: because there's not much on Android that's like trying to

194
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 1: get me back. I love the way Android is super flexible,

195
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: and I love the control I have over my Android.

196
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: But at this point, between the Apple Watch and the

197
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: AirPods and the iPhone and my Mac, everything just sort

198
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: of works together. And I really like that aspect. And

199
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: when I go back to Android, I feel like I'm

200
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: cobbling together in experience that's trying to match what Apple has,

201
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: and that means even something as simple as my remind

202
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll sit there and I'll say, Hey, Siri, remind me

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: to do this and on Android you can do that,

204
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: but you have to find an app to do it with,

205
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: and it's not as integrated with your computers. You have

206
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: to now download that app. With all that said, Apple

207
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: is really selling a lot of iPhones. To the tune

208
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: of I usually said they sold about fifty five to

209
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: sixty million in a quarter. That's three months or no,

210
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: a quarter is what? Yeah? Three months? Yeah, they sold

211
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: seventy two point nine.

212
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: Million four months, because there's four four.

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: Quarters, so it'll be three months in a quarter. Oh yeah, right,

214
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: I always get that confused. And apparently Samsung only sold

215
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: about seventy million Galaxy phones, which is still Both of

216
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: those are very respectable numbers, but it's wild that that

217
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: is a lot of phones and Apple kind of beat

218
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Samsung in the last quarter, which historically Samsung usually beats

219
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: Apple because think about it, Samsung on a global level, right,

220
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: probably sells more phones. In the US were very iPhone centric,

221
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: but in the rest of the world it's very Android

222
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: and Samsung centric. So this is kind of big and

223
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: I just find it very telling that when I saw

224
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the iPhone eleven come out, I called it, and you

225
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: probably remember this, I said, this is a killer device. Yeah,

226
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: it hits every single point that people have wanted with

227
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: their devices. It came at a time when people were

228
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of growing tired of Android and all these promises

229
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: that you would get from the thing like the Pixel four.

230
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Everyone wanted the Pixel four to be this amazing phone

231
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: and it comes out and immediately every tech person was

232
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: disappointed because it didn't have the wide angle lens, the

233
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: camera didn't really improve very much, and it's slow, it's laggy.

234
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: The apps just don't have the same support. And I

235
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: feel like what I'm hearing over and over from people

236
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: is they're saying, Rich, I'm going to the iPhone because

237
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the experience that people just talk about.

238
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: It's that iPhone experience, and I'm not going to sit

239
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: here and extol the virtues of iPhone. I still love

240
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Android for the fact that you can set default apps.

241
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: When I want my links to open up in a

242
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: web browser of my choice, I can do that on

243
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: the Android when I this is my thing. I feel

244
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: like on the iPhone it's almost like landmines. Like I'm

245
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm like, oh, I can't click the

246
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: map link in Yelp because that's gonna take me to

247
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Apple Maps and I don't want to go there, or oh,

248
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: I can't open this in Safari because it's not gonna

249
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: work nicely with it, you know. I'm always trying to

250
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: use Chrome or whatever. So it's just this experience on

251
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: the iPhone that's really good, but it's very siloed, right,

252
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: and I think that's what I love about Android. But anyway,

253
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: but people are loving the iPhone, and that's clearly happening

254
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: because they overtook the Samsung sales for the first time

255
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: in a while.

256
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: And you suggest to most people when getting the iPhone

257
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: to go with the eleven, right, yes, if you don't

258
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: need uh, you don't need.

259
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: The eleven Pro. For most people, I don't think they

260
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: need the eleven Pro because with the eleven you get

261
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: the wide angle lens, which is the cool new feature.

262
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: You just don't get the zoom line. Now, if you're

263
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: taking pictures of your kids at their holiday play or

264
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: some sort of recital, the zoom is always nice, but

265
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: the zoom is not enough to warrant itself because most

266
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: people just pinch to zoom anyway, and they're getting like

267
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: really close in on their kids and it's not a

268
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: good picture no matter.

269
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: What, you need a really nice and that's the only

270
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: difference besides this and the screen, the screen, and yeah,

271
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: that's basically it now or something.

272
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Battery I believe is better on the pro. And we've

273
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: talked about this before on the podcast, where at this

274
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: point battery is not even a thing on the iPhone,

275
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: Like it's just so good. It's so good. I went

276
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: through CS literally not even thinking about my battery. See yes,

277
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: the big convention in Vegas, and I just didn't. It

278
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: wasn't even a thought in my head that I was

279
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: going to run out of a battery at all.

280
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: That's really impressive.

281
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: At night I go to sleep again, my phone is

282
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: at like seventy five percent most nights.

283
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 3: Is that from charging a little bit?

284
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sometimes, but still most people are near an outlet

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: at least sometimes. I was saying, I don't, it's not

286
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: even a thought anymore in my head of oh am,

287
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I gonna run out of battery, Megan, I think it's

288
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: your turn for a question. Okay.

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: Our next question is from Mona. The eb photo storage

290
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: you mentioned, I got one and downloaded all my photos.

291
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: Is it safe to delete them now? From the iCloud

292
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,119
Speaker 4: I need to free up space for backups.

293
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Mona is referring to the EB storage device we talked about,

294
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: which is pretty much a hard drive with Wi Fi

295
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: connected to it, and at night, it has an app

296
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: that goes on your phone at night when your phone

297
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: is charging. It takes all the pictures off your phone,

298
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: and not off it just makes a copy of them

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: to the EB. And so she's asking if she can

300
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: now delete those off her phone. My recommendation is no,

301
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: because you want your pictures backed up in two places.

302
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: And if she's saying she wants to free up her

303
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: iPhone storage and her iCloud storage as well.

304
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: Because no, I think she just needs space in her iCloud.

305
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, that means she's had to delete them out

306
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: of her eCloud as well, which you can't do. You

307
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: need your photos in two places, and so just having

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: them on that hard drive on EB. Let me just

309
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: give you a scenario. Let's say God forbid, your house

310
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: burns down and the EB is in it. Now you've

311
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: lost all your pictures. That's not a good solution for backup.

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Let's say there's a flood and all the in that

313
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: hard drive gets messed up. Now you have no pictures,

314
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: so you always want your pictures in two places. Now,

315
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: if she wanted to do this, if she wanted to

316
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: buy a second EB and set it up at a

317
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: friend's house and she has one at her house one

318
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: at a friend's house, I would say that's probably fine

319
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: because if something happened to your house, you can be

320
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: like a friend, I need that EB with all my

321
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: pictures on it. That's kind of funny, but you can't

322
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: just have it in one place. You have to have

323
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: your photos in two places.

324
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 4: And to buy some more storage, I mean, isn't it.

325
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: The hundred gigabytes is like one dollar.

326
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: I pay three dollars for two hundred gigs. Okay, three

327
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: dollars a month. Now, over the long term, you know,

328
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: three dollars a month is a lot of money when

329
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: you think about that's thirty six dollars a year. Two

330
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: years is seventy two dollars. A hard drive with like

331
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: two terabytes of data is about fifty nine dollars on Amazon.

332
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: So it is expensive, but you're not What you're paying

333
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: for is that peace of mind and the fact that

334
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Apple is maintaining these servers. It's off site, it's a

335
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: secondary backup the other options I would tell her is

336
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: just put your photos in Amazon Prime Photos. If you

337
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: have a Prime account, is that free, totally free, unlimited.

338
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a Prime account, Yeah, you can.

339
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: Totally free and unlimited. Now the trick with that is

340
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that if you cancel Amazon Prime now, all of a sudden,

341
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: your pictures are in danger because you have to pay up.

342
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: Or you can just switch to something else. Google Photos

343
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: is totally free. You can use that. But again, pick

344
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: two either iCloud and your phone, your phone and eb

345
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: iCloud and eb eb and Google Photos. Just pick two

346
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: things and get on with your life. New app that

347
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: is really cool for the iPhone eleven is called double Take.

348
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: We had a lot of phone with this app. What

349
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: it does is it gives you a two camera shoot

350
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: with just one phone. So if you have an iPhone eleven,

351
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: it takes advantage of all of the cameras in that phone,

352
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: the wide angle lens, the telephoto lens, the ultra wide

353
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: and the selfie camera. So when you turn on this app,

354
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: you get an option with those four cameras, it shows

355
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: you a live feed of all four. You pick two,

356
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: any two you want, and now you can record both

357
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: of those feeds at the same time, you can merge

358
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: them into one video, so you can have side by side.

359
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: So let's say for me personally, I think and I

360
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: might start this as a thing. I interview a lot

361
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: of people for TV. A lot of those interviews go

362
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: to waste because we only use you know, thirty seconds

363
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: forty seconds on TV. Well, these people have a lot

364
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: more to say that's interesting. So if I can stand

365
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: there with my iPhone, have a mic on them, a

366
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: mic on me, a camera, one camera facing me, one

367
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: camera facing them, I do a quick five minute interview

368
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and now I've just created something in real time that's

369
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: easily postable to YouTube, and it shows my reaction, my questions,

370
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: and also them and their reaction and their answers. That

371
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: is something that is really cool. Yeah. Again, it's something

372
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: that used to take two cameras to do.

373
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 4: Do you think it looks funny if you have the

374
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 4: camera close to your face though.

375
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, you have to figure out I was thinking about Yeah, I.

376
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 4: Was gonna say, maybe it's like you need a third

377
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: person to hold it so like it kind of balance

378
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 4: it out.

379
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

380
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking about the setup, and I think

381
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: you can get it right with a tripod. If you

382
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: put a tripod in between you and you stood in

383
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: one place because as the interviewer, you have to stand

384
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: back because the iPhone camera is so close up. Yeah,

385
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: so you just have to stand back and kind of

386
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: stay there and then the other person. You know, depending

387
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: on the lens you use, you could be close up, wide, whatever.

388
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: It's just a really cool app. It's called double Take.

389
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: It's free. It's from Filmic, which they're known for making

390
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: a really high end recording app for the iPhone, and

391
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: eventually this will be built into the Filmic app, but

392
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: right now it's a standalone app. You can do side

393
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: by side, you can do picture and picture, or you

394
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: can do yeah, those two things. It's really cool. Have

395
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: you seen this app? Well, actually, it's really fun because

396
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: as a journalist that's been doing this for so long,

397
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: to get the two shots at once on a smartphone

398
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: is just something that is just such a cool idea.

399
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: And I think it opens up an entirely new genre

400
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: of interview style where you're just kind of like, hey,

401
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: you're on the street and I'm talking to you, and

402
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: you see both of us at the same time. The

403
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: idea here is that there's minimal effort, and you know,

404
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: usually minimal effort means crappy. But this is kind of cool.

405
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: And I'm still waiting for the story that we do

406
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: that we shoot just on an iPhone.

407
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: We've done it. I did it, did it with the yes,

408
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: with the what was the story Microsoft Surface? I went

409
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: to New York City by myself and shot that all

410
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: on my iPhone true, And it was, well, you're going.

411
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 3: To be shooting were iPhone though.

412
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: No, it's the new iPhone, my iPhone eleven. Yes, oh okay,

413
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: but you're going to be shooting when you come up

414
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: to San Francisco with me. Yes, you're going to be

415
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: shooting the Samsung event on probably an iPhone. Yeah, and

416
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: we're going to do that. So we'll see what that's like.

417
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it works. It's so good nowadays that you

418
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: can't really tell the difference. There are certain certain situations

419
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: where a real camera is better, right for nine to

420
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: nine percent. I mean, look at people are on TikTok

421
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: watching videos all day that are shot on cell phones,

422
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: so the bar is pretty low at this point. Of course,

423
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: high production quality is always going to have a place,

424
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: but it's pretty nice that you can just do the

425
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: stuff on your phone, Megan, all right.

426
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: This next question comes from Debbie. My granddaughter is a

427
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: Roadblocks gamer. For Christmas, I purchased two twenty five dollars

428
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 4: Apple gift cards so she can make in app purchases.

429
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: The problem is, no one can seem to figure out

430
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: how to apply the card totals into our app store

431
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: account so she can access the funds.

432
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 3: So right now we.

433
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: Have fifty dollars of useless plastic.

434
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 3: Can you help me please?

435
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that they're useless, so yeah, I mean,

436
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm well, okay, First, will do you know what Roadblock says?

437
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: I do? Can you describe what that is? Because my

438
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: kids play this. I've seen it, but I don't really understand.

439
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: It looks like a lot of different worlds or something

440
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: that people create.

441
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: From my understanding, it's like people can create different like

442
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 2: worlds that are like I guess, accessible online, and I

443
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: guess they can create different like scenarios you play little

444
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: games on them.

445
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 3: What kind of a world like underwater world?

446
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

447
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of you haven't played Block is

448
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: the Limit?

449
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: No, But I've watched my younger brother who's been playing

450
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: on it.

451
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a younger kid thing. I mean,

452
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: you're young, but this is like super young. My kid's

453
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: like eight and he plays.

454
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: It's more like that age range as opposed to like

455
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: teenage audience.

456
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I think let's go through how to redeem a gift

457
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: card on the iPhone, so the number one thing you

458
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: want to do. These gift cards aren't worthless. You just

459
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: have to know how to redeem it. You open up

460
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: the app store on your iPhone. You tap your little

461
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: profile picture in the upper right hand corner. Megan you

462
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: following along? Here are you just on Instagram?

463
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: I'm just on Instagram.

464
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Then there's an option that says redeem gift card or code.

465
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: You tap that, and there's two ways of doing it.

466
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: You can do it manually, which I've not done in

467
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: a long time, because the camera works so well. You

468
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: tap used camera and you hold just for a split second,

469
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: your camera over this little code on the back of

470
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: the card. And have you ever done this? It's so easy.

471
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: It immediately finds the code on the card and boom,

472
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: puts on the screen and you're says fifty dollars or

473
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars has been added to your account.

474
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 4: I haven't gotten an iTunes gift card in like maybe

475
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 4: ten years.

476
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: Oh, my kids love them, so that's like the only

477
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: thing they want for Christmas. iTunes gift cards so cute.

478
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: And at sometimes at Costco they'll have like a one

479
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: hundred dollars worth of iTunes gift cards for ninety dollars

480
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: ten bucks, So you buy that. Yeah, but it's also

481
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: I think it's misleading that they call iTunes gift cards

482
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: because most people are thinking it's the app store that

483
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: they're buying stuff for, right, So, and.

484
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: It's not called iTunes anymore?

485
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: Well is it? I think it is on your iPhone.

486
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: Let's see, I deleted that apps.

487
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not. I don't know, it's just music. Still

488
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: have iTunes? I don't know.

489
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just like the wider like web of like

490
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: stores is maybe I'm not.

491
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, exactly, like it's kind of the whole encompassing kurn.

492
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: Yeah because when that when iTunes went away, Boy did

493
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: we hear about that?

494
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a scary times for some people.

495
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: Let's see what else should we talk about next? Let's see, Oh,

496
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: how about this uh an unlimited? Okay, So I take

497
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: back what I said about the story being dumb. My

498
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: friend Jefferson Graham in USA today did a feature piece

499
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: on an app called text Now. It's been around for

500
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: a while, but they have this new feature where you

501
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: can get a personal phone number and also phone calls

502
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: and texts one hundred percent for free every month. And

503
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: the way you do this is you pay ten dollars

504
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: for a text Now SIM card that you pop into

505
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: your phone, and now you have a phone line as

506
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: well as these texts and calls the catches. You can't

507
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: serve the Internet for that price. This is just texts

508
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: and calls. And so I said, this is dumb, but

509
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: I thought about it more and I realized this is

510
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: brilliant for a kid's phone line. So now you can

511
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: give your kid. You're old. It has to be a

512
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Sprint or Verizon phone, so you know, let's say you had,

513
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, if an iPhone. Most iPhones these days are

514
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: unlocked anyway, so if you but if you have a

515
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Sprint or a Verizon phone, you pop this text Now

516
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: sim into there and for ten dollars, now your kid

517
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: can have texts and calls. Which for my kid, that's

518
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: all I want them to have, because.

519
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: You know, he's only eighty to get in contact with them.

520
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean the main thing is, like with school,

521
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: it's like I'm gonna pick you up at this time

522
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: today or I'm going to pick you up at this time.

523
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like just giving them. It's not

524
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: information they have to have. And believe me, kids survive

525
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: for many years without knowing when their parents were going

526
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: to pick them up from school. I did, I think,

527
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: did you couldn't walk home? I mean no, really, I

528
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: mean you weren't allowed to.

529
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: It was like ten blocks away.

530
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: Oh come on, No, I didn't start walking home from

531
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: school until later.

532
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 3: I guess your kids walk home.

533
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: No, but I walked. I walked to all three of

534
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: my schools growing up, and my high school. I'd be curious,

535
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 1: you know, I'm actually gonna look about how far this

536
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: is because I'm curious how far I had to walk

537
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: every day.

538
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go ahead and feel like a long walk?

539
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Did it?

540
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 4: No?

541
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes it depends if you have like after

542
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: school activities, Like a lot of time I played tennis,

543
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: so I had, you know, i'd go to like the tennis.

544
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 4: I lived in a different house when I grew up,

545
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: like elementary school, and that was I feel like it

546
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 4: had to be a mile and a half away.

547
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: Okay, mine is two miles away. Wow, let me see

548
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: by walking, maybe that's shorter. Yeah, two miles wow, so

549
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good walk. Maybe I didn't walk

550
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: every time. I'm trying to remember now. Yeah, no, I

551
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: definitely walked home, but maybe I don't. Yeah, that's don't forget.

552
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: You also drive in high school a little bit, like

553
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: after maybe this second year, so maybe obvious a junior

554
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: when I got my license. But anyway, so text now,

555
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: I think this is actually kind of cool. So if

556
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: you want a super cheap phone line that is free,

557
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: it is nine ninety nine to buy the sim. You

558
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: pop it in your phone. It works, and as far

559
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: as I'm seeing, there's really no catches here. The only

560
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: thing is you have to have some ads on your

561
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: text messaging app, so I guess they use a special

562
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: app display ads. You don't have to listen to them

563
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: before making your receiving phone calls, which would be kind

564
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: of weird. But here's the thing. At this point, phone

565
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 1: phone calls and texts are commodity anyway, They're not what

566
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: people are buying their phone line for it's the data.

567
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: So and text now knows that eventually you're going to

568
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: grow tired of just having texts and phone calls and

569
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to pay, and they have upgrades where

570
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: you can pay for the data.

571
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: But let's say like one of your kids, they would

572
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 4: just need to get on the Wi Fi and then

573
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: they could use all the data they wanted.

574
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking that this might be something I get

575
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: because I was trying to think the way I would

576
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: get my kid a phone, because most of the plans

577
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: are like minimum forty dollars, Like Verizon has a you know,

578
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: kid's only plan and I think it's about thirty five.

579
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to quote.

580
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: Myself, and Visible is forty dollars.

581
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Visible is forty dollars. So the Verizon just Kids

582
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: plan is, let's see, do they even tell you how

583
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: much it is? I think it's about thirty five a month.

584
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: So long story short, that's a lot. Ten bucks, ten

585
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: dollars one time is like, that's now you're talking, and did.

586
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: You get a phone? How old were you?

587
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: I was eleven?

588
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, that's about the going I think I was

589
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: that age too, eleven.

590
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: My kids, they asked me for a phone every day.

591
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: They have iPads. They asked me for a phone every day,

592
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: and a dog. But the phone thing they so they

593
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: go to Google on you know, if the goole home thing.

594
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: They ask every day a million questions Google what age

595
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: can a kid have a phone? And it's like, according

596
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: to the website parenting dot com, thirteen. I'm like, ha,

597
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: I was gonna say eleven, but Google said thirteen. So

598
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: now that's what you get for asking googleme. You gotta

599
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: wait two more years now, kid?

600
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: You call your kids kid?

601
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know their names.

602
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: So it's just it's easier that way.

603
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: Ye, it's so easy, and they both answer it's so

604
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: hard to keep track.

605
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay.

606
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: Our next question comes from Karen hi Rich. I have

607
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: Windows seven. I know there is no longer support for it,

608
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 4: but what are the dangers of not upgrading to Windows ten.

609
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: I'm not very techie and I use my PC for

610
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: only minimal things like emails, Google search, limited, banking, et cetera.

611
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: Do I need a whole new system?

612
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Well you don't, but you are taking a risk. And

613
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: what she's talking about is Windows seven. We've talked about.

614
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: This is done. That means that Microsoft is no longer

615
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: putting out software updates. Security updates for Windows seven, specifically,

616
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: those are the ones you should be concerned about. Now.

617
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: What's funny about this is right after they announced they

618
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: were going to stop doing this, they put out an

619
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: emergency update because there was a problem that I guess

620
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: they deemed big enough, and it was kind of in

621
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: the same week, so like, you know what, we'll let

622
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: this one more slide through. So I actually got emails

623
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: from people saying, Rich, you said there would be no

624
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: more updates for Windows seven, and I just got one,

625
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: and I had to look online, and sure enough Microsoft

626
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: had put out this like little tiny update, just like

627
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: one more. They're like, fine, one more update, just one

628
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: one more, So what do you lose? The main thing

629
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: is you have to be concerned about security. You did

630
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: say that you do your banking on there, and it

631
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that your computer is not going to work.

632
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that your computer is insecure inherently already.

633
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: But if a bad guy finds a way to break

634
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: into a Windows seven computer some sort of hack, it's

635
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: not going to be patched with an update because Microsoft

636
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: said there's no more updates. That's what you have to

637
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of know. So can you use your computer? Yes,

638
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: do I recommend you think about upgrading? Probably, And according

639
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: to a lot of websites, you can still get a

640
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: free Windows ten upgrade. Apparently Microsoft did not turn off

641
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: one of these little websites that lets you upgrade. I

642
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: think they're doing it for people that really want it.

643
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: If they find this website and they find that upgrade path,

644
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: then they're like, sure, go ahead, because they gave you

645
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a long time to upgrade to Windows ten for free.

646
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Now it's like one hundred and thirty nine dollars to

647
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: do it. But I'm looking at the c neet article

648
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: and it says if you go to the go to

649
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: the download Windows ten website, create Windows ten installation media

650
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, you can actually do this.

651
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: So they have a download Windows ten disk image file.

652
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: So and apparently people I was talking to said, if

653
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: you have an activated version of Windows seven, like a

654
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: legitimate version of Windows seven, when you try to upgrade

655
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: with this Windows ten, it will take. So I would

656
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I don't know how old our computer is,

657
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: but that's that's something you should probably do. Well.

658
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: Do you have a Windows I do not.

659
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: I primarily just use my MacBook.

660
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah cool, MACI Mac all right. I think this is

661
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of a neat feature coming to Google Nest thermostats.

662
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: I have one of these at home. I can't say

663
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm super impressed with the Nest thermostat. I don't think

664
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: it saves me money in any way. But I do

665
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: get a check for twenty five dollars every couple of

666
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: months from my energy company because I guess I'm on

667
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: the plan where they can control my usage from their end.

668
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: So they say in the summer, like, oh, the you

669
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are using their air conditioning,

670
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: so we're going to turn yours up to seventy two

671
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: degrees or whatever it is. My wife always changes anyway.

672
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: She likes it cold. I really don't care. I don't

673
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: even think about the air most of the time.

674
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: I didn't realize the setup was quite easy.

675
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: I mean not easy, but I watched a video how

676
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: they make how they put.

677
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: It in, so yeah, it looks so straightforward. I was like,

678
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: maybe I just spent one of these for my parents.

679
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: You connect a few wires. Yeah. Now. The only thing

680
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: is you have to keep in mind if your system

681
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: at home can handle the Nest. There are some and

682
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: you have I believe your parents have an older home,

683
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: right it some of the systems that are installing those

684
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: older homes. It doesn't accommodate. Oh okay, super easy. You

685
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: go online. I think what you do is, it's been

686
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: a long time since I did this, but you just

687
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: I think you pop the thing off the wall, the

688
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: old one. You look at the cables, you pop them

689
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: into the.

690
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: Website, put the correct cable into.

691
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: The but it'll tell you, based on those cables if

692
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: it can control your system. Okay, And I just assumed

693
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: you know that my house, it wouldn't work, and sure

694
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: enough it does. It's great. I did it a couple

695
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: of years ago. I haven't thought about it since and

696
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: it just kind of does its own thing. And anyway, yeah, sorry,

697
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: it's so Nest thermostat a lot of a lot of

698
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: people have them, and now they have a feature. They

699
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: didn't say they're using AI, but I assume they are

700
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: using some sort of AI. But your Nest thermostat can

701
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: now identify potential issues with your heating, ventilation and air

702
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: conditioning systems. If a potential issue is detected, they're going

703
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: to send you alert via email. So how do they

704
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: know that something's wrong. Well, if ninety nine percent of

705
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: people when they turn the thermostat down a degree, it

706
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: takes forty minutes to cool down their house, but your

707
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: house takes two hours, they're going to notice that pattern

708
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: and they say, Okay, we think that there's something wrong

709
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: with your air conditioning. I think that's how they're doing it.

710
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: They don't describe how they're doing it, but I'm guessing

711
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: they're looking for patterns in the way most people's air

712
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: conditioning works, and then if yours doesn't work that way,

713
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: they're going to say something's wrong. You might want to

714
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: take a look at this, which I think is pretty smart. Yeah,

715
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: now here is the thing that they're doing though, which

716
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: of course they don't just do things for fun. They

717
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: do things because it might make them money at some point.

718
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: So you will get a link to a person that

719
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: can fix your air conditioning. They've partnered with this website

720
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: called handy which I actually interviewed them a while back.

721
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: I use this site to hire a hand Yeah, you can.

722
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: Hire like a handyman to do stuff, and so they'll

723
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: send you a link, and of course if you book

724
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure Google gets a little cut of the commision

725
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: of whatever that service costs. But it's brilliant and I

726
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: think it's smart's. I think that it's giving people information

727
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: that they may not think about or you know, ponder

728
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: or whatever. And it's just like, especially if you are

729
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: single or you're older and you just don't know about

730
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: this stuff and you get an alert and you're like, oh, wow,

731
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: I should look into this.

732
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.

733
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, you're spending ten thousand dollars in

734
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: a new system.

735
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: That's always really fun to do.

736
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: My favorite and this is I replaced my air conditioning

737
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: and it was a lot of money, but it was

738
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: And I call all repairs. There's a certain category of

739
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: repairs that get you back to the place you were,

740
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: Like a car repair. Nothing was wrong with your car.

741
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the check engine light comes on.

742
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: You spend three hundred bucks, like, oh, we found this

743
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: thing in the back. We had to replace it. You're

744
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: just back to where you were. Your car is not

745
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 1: any better. Yeah, you're just still driving the same car.

746
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: It's like a cell phone. Your screen gets cracked, you

747
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: pay two hundred bucks to fix the screen. Your phone's

748
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: not any better. You're just back to where you were

749
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: before your screen crack and now you're out two hundred dollars.

750
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: Same thing with air conditioning. I mean in my house, Yes,

751
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: the air got a little bit better when we upgraded it,

752
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: but it's not like it changed our lives. So I

753
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: call those repairs. You're just back to where.

754
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: You to where you were just a little bit baseline, baseline, but.

755
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: Your your bank account is not in the same place

756
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: it was. I love those, and you know what I'm

757
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: talking about. There're just there's a million examples of those

758
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: where it's just like, okay, what do we have the

759
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: other the other day we had one, Oh it was

760
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: what do we pay Oh, our dryer? So all of

761
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: a sudden, my wife puts in some laundry and all

762
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, do you hear that. I'm

763
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: like nope, And of course I always say that for everything.

764
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't hear that. It's fine, it's fine,

765
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: And I go in and it sounds like sand is

766
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: just like it's like like the way it's just it's

767
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: something's grinding up against like two parts are just grinding,

768
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, call a guy three hundred bucks.

769
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can fix it, and I've got the

770
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: part in the van. Three hundred dollars later, we're back

771
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: to exactly where we were when I woke up on

772
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, before my dryer was not working.

773
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: You had three hundred dollars and the dryer.

774
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Was working just fine, and now it's like okay. Yeah,

775
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: so the only thing that changed was the amount of

776
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: money that went from my account to his account. Yeah.

777
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 4: I want to become a handyman so I can just

778
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 4: like fix stuff and not have to ever pay for

779
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 4: it to be done.

780
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: They they you know what, those guys. I give them

781
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: credit and Gallas, I actually haven't had a girl come

782
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: to the house as a handy person, but I'm just saying,

783
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: could be out there. They're out there. Yeah, but I

784
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: give those people credit. And every time, except for the

785
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: one time I got ripped off for they replaced a

786
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: flap in my toilet for eighty five dollars, which the

787
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: next guy came and actually taught me how to do it,

788
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: and he said, here's where you go. He showed me.

789
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: He goes, you take the flap off, you pop this in.

790
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: It'll cost you six dollars and he goes, I'm not

791
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: charging you, and I said, now you are awesome.

792
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: That is a saint.

793
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: I go and you'll get my business next time.

794
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you?

795
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: I haven't had another toilet problem, but I went to

796
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: the little place, I replaced it myself, and I that's

797
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: I was smiling after that.

798
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.

799
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: Great, You're smart somewhere across town smiling all right.

800
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 4: This next question comes from Anne. I was wondering if

801
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 4: you have an opinion on upgrading to Catalina.

802
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: So she has a MacBook Pro fifteen inch.

803
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: She bought it in mid twenty fifteen, and she said

804
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: she's looked at some reviews and some are saying that

805
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: it has slowed down their computers a lot. So do

806
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 4: you think that she should upgrade to Catalina?

807
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: I would say, in this case, if your system is

808
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: working out for you, which I think the one before

809
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: Catalina was Mojave, yeah Jave, right, Mojave. I think it's

810
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: v mojave, mojave Desert. I don't know. I don't know

811
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: all these California things. I didn't grow up learning California.

812
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: I learned. I can tell you New Jersey.

813
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: Did you guys have a dessert? And I'm just kidding

814
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: Jersey Shore.

815
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I would say, if it's working for you,

816
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: you don't have to upgrade. I Catalina was the first

817
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: Mac operating system that I actually waited a couple of months.

818
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: I think it was three months before I upgraded, because

819
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't see the need like the Mac operating system

820
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: is not. It changed a lot with Catalina, especially because

821
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: they got rid of iTunes and separated it out, but

822
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: that's only for Apple's benefit. They wanted to be able

823
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: to watch Apple TV Plus shows on your computer and

824
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: sell you more stuff. So I don't see the benefit

825
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: of necessarily upgrading right away. If it's working for you,

826
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: will your computer slow down? Usually yes, And it's not

827
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: because your computer is slowing down or Apple's doing something

828
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: to slow you down. It's mainly because these these programs

829
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: require more horsepower because they're written for newer computers. They're

830
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: not writing a program today in twenty nineteen or twenty

831
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: twenty for a twenty fifteen computer. They're writing it for

832
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: today's processors in today's memory. And I would say just

833
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: hold off if you don't need it, unless there's a

834
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: reason why you need Catalina. If there's a there was

835
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: one feature that I thought was kind of cool, called

836
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: which you can put your iPad next to your computer

837
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: and wirelessly put your I think is it wireless or

838
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: is it Yeah? I think it's wireless. Yeah, but you

839
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: can just put make that part of your display. I

840
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: thought that was kind of cool. I did. I did

841
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: want to try that out, so I downloaded it for that.

842
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: But there's not a feature on Catalina that I can

843
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: tell you that I use, And I'm like, wow, this

844
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: is why I downloaded it.

845
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

846
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: I feel like I haven't really noticed much.

847
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: Are there any major security updates with I'm sure there are,

848
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: but but I think Apple is still supporting the last one.

849
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: So as long as you're still supporting the security updates,

850
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: you're fine.

851
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.

852
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: And I'm like ninety nine percent sure that the old

853
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: one is getting security updates.

854
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 2: Especially because it's not like super old.

855
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a couple of years. Let me just talk

856
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: about one more thing before we go, because this is

857
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: something that I want to purchase. It's on my wish

858
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: list and I'm just sharing it with you because I

859
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: imagine there's someone else out in the world that wants that.

860
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: Peloton kind of experience in their house, but doesn't want

861
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: to pay twenty five hundred dollars for the Peloton, which is,

862
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: I love the Peloton, but do I need to pay

863
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred dollars for a bike that is also

864
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: fifty dollars a month for the Peloton app.

865
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 4: No.

866
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: But I saw this at CS and I fell in

867
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: love and I probably will buy it soon. I'm just

868
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: waiting for the official okay for my wife. But it's

869
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: called the Bowflex C six Indoor Cycling Bike, and it's

870
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: a spin bike just like the Peloton. But the difference

871
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: is is that it has a place for an iPad

872
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: instead of a giant screen. So you take an iPad

873
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: that you already have, you pop it in the holder,

874
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: and now you can download the Peloton app or any

875
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: other app that you want to use for your workout.

876
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of biking apps out there. They

877
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: mention a bunch of them, Swift whatever. And the cool

878
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: thing is that you're like, well, what do I lose

879
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: by not having the Peloton experience. The main thing you

880
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: lose is the leaderboard because the bluetooth on the bike

881
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: reports back to the app, the Peloton app, so it

882
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: will still be able to see how hard you're going

883
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: on the bike. It will be able to see your

884
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: cadence whatever. But the main thing that according to Bowflex

885
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: when I interviewed them, is that you don't get the leaderboard,

886
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: which I know a lot of people that have the

887
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: Peloton that is the future that they love the most

888
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: is the leaderboard, which I'm just not that competitive. I

889
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: don't really care. Like I'm doing my workout for me,

890
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't really care if I'm on a leaderboard. In fact,

891
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: i'd rather not be. When I did a Peloton workout,

892
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: when I saw that my name was on like the

893
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: little side thing, I was like, Eh, that's kind of weird. Yeah,

894
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I think this is great. And

895
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: the Peloton app is like thirteen dollars a month versus

896
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: forty or fifty for the the other one. And it's,

897
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: by the way, nine hundred dollars. So nine hundred dollars

898
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: for a bike not bad, No, not bad at all.

899
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: And you might be thinking, oh, come on, rich Bowflex.

900
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: Aren't they the people that did all those like commercials

901
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: on TV and like who are they? Well, they also

902
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: own Shwin, so they know something about bikes and I

903
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: trust them, so again, it's about the size of a peloton.

904
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: It looked very solid. I got on the thing at

905
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: CS and I think it's a winner. For nine hundred

906
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: dollars versus twenty five hundred, I think for the peloton

907
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: that's significant.

908
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: Are you going to do the shoes?

909
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 1: I well, that's the other thing about this. This has

910
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: dual link pedals which lets you put your feet in there,

911
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: or the shoes. If I had this thing at home,

912
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: I'd probably go for the shoes.

913
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

914
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: Right now, I've done the spinning classes at the gym

915
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: and I don't have the shoes, but our gym just

916
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: upgraded to it. Used to be the little shoes were

917
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: really tricky to get on because they would you have

918
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: to pull them like almost like a zip tie off

919
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: the side. Now they made it really easy. Just pull

920
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: up on the top and it sinch is closed. She

921
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: almost don't need the spin shoes anymore. But if you

922
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: really want to get into spinning, apparently you have to

923
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: have the shoes. And I'm a runner, not a spinner,

924
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: but I do enjoy a bike spin workout every once

925
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: in a while.

926
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: I'm as flywheel.

927
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: I know that was your place. That was your jam.

928
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:55,680
