Speaker 1: My thoughts on the S twenty focus issues GIF versus

00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: Jeff might finally be solved. Netflix breaks down and reveals

Speaker 1: What's going on on Rich Damiro And this is Rich

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: on Tech, the podcast where I talk about the tech

Speaker 1: stuff I think you should know about. Plus I answer

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: the questions that you send me. My name is Rich Damiro.

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles.

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: Joining me is trustee producer Meghan, who is so glad

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: she didn't swap her iPhone for the Samsung Galaxy S

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: twenty just yet.

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: No, I almost did.

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: You were like ready to pull the trigger on that one,

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: weren't you.

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: That is a funny, funny joke.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Now, Meghan is one hundred percent iPhone. In fact, she

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: judges anyone who does not have an iPhone.

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: That's not true. Little just a little judgment.

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: If you went out on a date with someone and

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: they pulled out not just an android phone, no, an

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Android with a crack screen. What would you do? Oh? Like,

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I imagine all your friends have iPhones.

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Imagine all your friends have iPhones too.

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Actually they all do so except my brother okay, but yeah,

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: most of the other everyone. I do have a friend

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't and it's you know, and I don't judge.

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: Do you think it's an l a thing.

28
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely. It's a it's a pressure thing.

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: It's a simplicity thing. Yeah, it's a you know. But

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: there are people who like Android and there's no problem

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah.

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: I don't have any anything really against it. I don't

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: think I would like not date someone just because they

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: have an Android, but it would be so mean.

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: But like, just imagine texting them would be kind of

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: because you know, I messages, I message and you're like, uh,

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could use Telegram, which is

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: what we use here at the tech.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: For Oh, that's true. I'll be like, hey, I know

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: this is date number one, but do you mind if

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: we text on Telegram and then.

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: You can easily block them, which would be you know,

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: because it's so easy to block people.

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Oh okay, true.

45
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's start with the speaking of Samsung. Let's

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: talk with the sam Let's talk about the Galaxy S twenty.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: I've been using this phone for about a week. Remember

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: last podcast, I said that I put my sim card

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: in the phone. Yeah, well my SIM card is out

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: and it's back in my iPhone.

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: As you could not you couldn't do the Samsung Life I.

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Okay, number one, Okay, notwithstand. I'll get into like the

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: issues with the phone first or I guess second. But

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: the first thing is everything in my life had to change,

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: everything from the just the way I get stuff from

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: my computer or to the phone, from the phone to

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: the computer. I message, which was like I wanted to

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: text two friends and know we're on this little group

59
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I message, and I couldn't text them because I was like, oh,

60
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to start a new group with them

61
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: that's now going to show up in green. So that

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: was a problem. The earphones, Like I just switched to

63
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: the Samsung Galaxy Buds, but then when I used my computer,

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I switched back to the AirPods because I wanted I

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to pair up something again. Apple

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: watched I already mentioned that, Like, so okay, they're not lazy,

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: but they're thing there. I understand why people stay in

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: their lane because you have all this stuff set up

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: and you don't want to change. And yes, you could change,

70
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: and you can swap everything out, but a it's very costly.

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Like for my watch, for instance, I was sitting there going,

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: what am I going to do for a watch? Because

73
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: I use my Apple Watch and that required me. I

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: was at cost going I'm like, well, maybe I buy

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: this Samsung Galaxy Watch, or maybe I get a Fitbit.

76
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: And again I gave away my last fitbit to a friend,

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: so I should have kept it because maybe that would

78
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: have made life easier. But anyway, I see all these

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: little things. Then I was trying to research different programs

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: to use because now the programs I used on my

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: iPhone just aren't available on the androids. A lot of

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: little things, and I see how people get. I know,

83
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: they call it like lock in, but it's real and

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't make you lazy or bad or not trying

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: to try something new. It's just you know what works

86
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: and you kind of stick to it.

87
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

88
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Now, with that all said, I love the Samsung Galaxy

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: S twenty Ultra a lot. There are so many things

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: to love about this device. The software is fast, it's smooth,

91
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: the screen is just unbelievable. I bought this little case

92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: for it from Spegan, which is now my favorite case.

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: By the way, I bought it from my iPhone as well.

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh cool, it's arriving today. It's called the Spegan Ultra

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: Hybrid S. It's a nice case and it's super simple.

96
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: It's only like fifteen bucks on Amazon. But it has

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: a kickstand, so I was able to watch movies on

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: the plane. Yeah, it's so cool. So you just set

99
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: your phone up, Like, why doesn't every case have this? Yeah,

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: so I just watched movies on the plane on with

101
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: my phone like sitting up like you know, on its side. Okay,

102
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: other things. Everything about it is really amazing, everything like

103
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: the quality of the software, the speed, the just you know,

104
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: unlocking is a little bit tougher than the iPhone with

105
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: a face ID, right because you have to use your

106
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: fingerprint or you can set up their version of face ID,

107
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: but it doesn't work as well. Okay, you know some

108
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: of the software isn't available, but I love what you

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: can do on Android, so I kind of get over

110
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: that because I love having like shortcuts on my screen,

111
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: and I love having the universal search box for Google

112
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: right at the bottom of my screen. I love having

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: my Samsung Pay which works with any basically anywhere, even

114
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: if they don't take Apple pay or Google Pay. It

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: still works.

116
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Really.

117
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: It emulates the magnetic strip on a credit card. Oh

118
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: so kind of it kind of I don't know what

119
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you call emanates it out from your phone, like if

120
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: you just hold it near they're like, oh, sorry, you

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: don't take Apple Play. You're like, watch this and it works.

122
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not what you think.

123
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Now I'm describing a lot of things

124
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: that are available just on Android, but the physical like

125
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: the size of the phone. I'm fine with the feel

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: of the phone just everything. Like the quality of the

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: device is very high. Now with that said, let me

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: get to the biggest problem I found with this phone

129
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: because I went to the New York Toy Fair in

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: New York City and I shot my entire story on

131
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the video camera on this device.

132
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: I can't believe you did that.

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: And I had my simcard in here for my texts

134
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 1: and everything. So I was doing everything on this phone,

135
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: making calls, receiving calls, everything, setting my alarm at night.

136
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: I was a little bit concerned because it's been a

137
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: long time since I use bedtime on the iPhone, and

138
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: it's super simple to set my alarm. I just scroll

139
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: a little dial to the time I want to wake up,

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: it gently arises me to wake This was a little

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: different because it's like, okay, now I'm setting a real alarm.

142
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to go off. So

143
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: I tested a bunch of times. Anyway, all those things,

144
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: one thing, Okay, my biggest issue with the Samsung is

145
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: when I get a notification on the screen. So here's

146
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: a notification, Megan said, Okay, sales is over where we're

147
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: doing the podcast, you said to me, and there's a

148
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: little reply thing I can hit right here, right well.

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: On the iPhone, when you hit that reply or touch

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the notification, it immediately brings you into that app from

151
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the lock screen because it's looked at your face or

152
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: your fingerprint is on there, your thumb is on the

153
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: fingerprint reader, and now it just brings you right in there.

154
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: On Android, that doesn't happen on this device, and so

155
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: you have to kind of tap it once and then

156
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: it's really complicated to explain, but you have to tap

157
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: it once and then it says use biometrics. Okay, so

158
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I put my face and now it says swiped it open,

159
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and I swiped open, and it still didn't bring me

160
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: in there. So my point is I can much faster

161
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: reply much faster to notifications on the iPhone for some reason,

162
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and it's a little thing, but over the day, when

163
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: you're doing one hundred and fifty notifications that you're replying to,

164
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: it all adds up to a lot.

165
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: Right.

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Other than that, I think that the Android platform is

167
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: totally fine now when it comes to content creation. Here's

168
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: what I noticed, and a lot of other reviewers are

169
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: noticing this as well, But I noticed my phone was

170
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: not focusing. And I've noticed that some of the pictures

171
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: in general on the Samsung device are soft, which means

172
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,559
Speaker 1: when you take a picture, it just looks kind of weird.

173
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: You're like, wait, was that in focus? And especially when

174
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: you're doing video, if you put the video camera up

175
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: to something, it's just not in focus. So when I

176
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: was doing all my interviews and everything for the Toy Fair,

177
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: I kept having to manually tap the screen to focus.

178
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Now on iPhone that feature is available, I rarely, if ever,

179
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: have to use it.

180
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: It like auto focuses on what you're what you're focusing.

181
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: On, even when you move your phone like quickly, and

182
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: on the Samsung I did not notice that at all.

183
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: It's really bad.

184
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: Like did you notice that last year with the Samsung.

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: No, I've never noticed that. In fact, I specifically remember

186
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: when I used to have a Samsung device and this

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: guy I was on a shoot out in like Virginia.

188
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: He was like, why do you use Samsung? And I

189
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: was like, oh, because it's so much better than the

190
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: iPhone And he's like really, And I'm like, well, take

191
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: a look at this, and I showed him my hand

192
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: and I put my phone, my Samsung, in front of

193
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: it and showed him how quickly it focused. And I

194
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: was like, and look how clear that is and how

195
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: focused it is. Now I move it somewhere else, and

196
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: he's like, oh wow, that's great. And I was like, now,

197
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: look at the iPhone. It didn't focus as fast. iPhones

198
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: come a long way since then, Samsung this one. I

199
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: feel like they took a step back.

200
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 2: So then there must be a glitch.

201
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: There might be a glitch. According to the Verge, there

202
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: is going to be a software update to improve the camera,

203
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: but they would not acknowledge any specific problem. And here's

204
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: the thing. My idea is that they have had this

205
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: device in production now, like in development now for a year.

206
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: Let's say, you don't have a device in production for

207
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: a year and nobody notices this weird little glitch until

208
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: you give it to people and all of a sudden

209
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we'll fix that. Rarely happens. Yeah, you

210
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: can't just fix something like nobody noticed this, nobody used

211
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: the video camera.

212
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: It's the same with sorry, but the foldable screen last year,

213
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: like everyone was like peeling the screen off.

214
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: So sometimes Samsung can't catch break. So at this point

215
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: I cannot recommend the Samsung S twenty Ultra. I don't

216
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: know if this problem is on the other two, the

217
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: two leading up to the phone, the S twenty and

218
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: the S twenty plus, but the Ultra, I will say

219
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of a deal breaker. Like I said, I

220
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: had my simcard in this device, and I found myself

221
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: being like I can't wait to get back to the

222
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: iPhone now. Hopefully they fix this. But it's not just

223
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: me that's seeing this. All the reviewers are saying the

224
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: same thing, right, and it's clearly an issue. And I

225
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: don't know how they're going to spin this or try

226
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: to figure this out. But if I bought this phone

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: for fourteen hundred dollars and I saw the way it

228
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: was focusing at that toy fair.

229
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: That's insane.

230
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: I'd be really angry. And by the end of the

231
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: toy fair, I ended up using my iPhone to to

232
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: shoot a couple more videos and I was like, Okay,

233
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy. This thing is amazingly clear and focused

234
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: on everything.

235
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: So I need the new iPhone anyway.

236
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: So there you have it. That's my spiel. I will

237
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: have my Yeah. That's that's it for now. So cool.

238
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Okay. So this first message comes from Jeanette. She said,

239
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you what an honor it

240
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: was to meet you in person at the Bourbank Airport.

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: You were so nice, just like you are on TV.

242
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: Kat A five is the only news I watched. Thank

243
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: you for keeping us informed. We learned so much from you.

244
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 2: Sorry you missed your meeting and SF have a nice day.

245
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: That is Jeannette, Jeanette, Well, thank you, Jeanette. This is

246
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: a funny thing about being on TV is that you're

247
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: always being watched and judged silently no matter where you are.

248
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: And I tell my kids this all the time because

249
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: people come up to me all the time, like literally

250
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: every day every day, no matter even in New York

251
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: at the Toy Fair. Yeah, I was coming out of

252
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: the men's restroom and some guys like, we're jeh on tech,

253
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: what's up? And it's like, now, if I can't if

254
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: I was walking around with like a sour look on

255
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: my face and kind of like angry or treating people

256
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: really rude, it'd be awkward. Yeah, And I don't think

257
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: you should be doing that in general, But being on TV,

258
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: it's like people are watching you, and well, I feel

259
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: like I am who I am most of the time.

260
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: Like I'm not really a different person on TV. Right,

261
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: That's very clear because it's just like I am who

262
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: I am.

263
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: That's good.

264
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like an instances like

265
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: this we were I was in probably one of the

266
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: most frustrated moments of my life where I was trying

267
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: to get up to San Francisco for a meeting with Samsung. Yeah,

268
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: and we didn't make it. Our flight was totally delayed,

269
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: and I could have been, like, you know, very angry

270
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: and visibly because I was with my photographer and I

271
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: could have been being rude to the people on the

272
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: podium at Southwest. I could have been really mad. Yeah,

273
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: and you know what, I wasn't and this woman saw

274
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: me at my worst and here's what she said.

275
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: You weren't bad, So anyway I would have been so frustrated.

276
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: It is frustrating. Anyway. It's a weird thing when you're

277
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: on television to I always say this for every person

278
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: that comes up to you and says hello or says

279
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: something or asks for a picture, there's fifty more people

280
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: in that room, probably one other that like also also

281
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: that don't say anything, right, but they do tell their

282
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: friends and they're like, oh, I saw Rich and oh

283
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: my god, what a jerk. He was at the register

284
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: at Ralph's, you know, yeah, at the grocery store here,

285
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: or oh, seems like a nice guy, had a smile

286
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: on his face, he was with his kids, you know,

287
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: his wife. Whatever.

288
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think that's important. You don't want to

289
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: be a jerk.

290
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: No, I try not to be. Well, thank you, um

291
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Nest camera outage. This is kind of a big deal

292
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of people use Nest cameras, including myself,

293
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on their home, and this just

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: kind of goes to show what could potentially happen when

295
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: we rely on these cameras to secure our homes. These

296
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: cameras are cloud connected. They do a lot of the

297
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: lifting heavy lifting in the cloud. They record everything in

298
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: the cloud. And on Monday, February twenty fourth, from eleven

299
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: to fifty five am until four to twenty Wonder where

300
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: they got that number Pacific time? Noah, Wait what these

301
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: stopped working? So you had a blackout period for cameras

302
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: across the nation that we're using Nest for four plus hours,

303
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: four hours twenty five minutes. Imagine that.

304
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: That's insane.

305
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: Now, not only the cameras not work, they also didn't

306
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: record anything to the cloud during that time, so you had,

307
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: in effect a total blackout of these cameras for four

308
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: plus hours.

309
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: That's infuriating.

310
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Now, they gave me five bucks as a refund. I

311
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: didn't notice this on my own camera because I wasn't

312
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: like looking at the time. But if something happened at

313
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: your house during that time, I would be so angry.

314
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Let's say you got a break in during that time.

315
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Now you have no video the whole point of having

316
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: that cameras. I'm sure there was.

317
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: Wait, so how did that happen?

318
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: They said it was a update to their server caused

319
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: a connectivity issue. I mean, but that's a big deal.

320
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: And as we rely on these cloud things more and more.

321
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Here's what my thought is. Imagine you're a hacker. Yeah,

322
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: you do the biggest hack where you hack the Nest servers.

323
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: You get them to black out for twelve hours, and

324
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: now it's a free for all across the nation.

325
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Or like if someone heard that there was a blackout,

326
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: they could just find a house that has a Nest camera.

327
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: I'd be like, oo, exactly near no one, Well, no one,

328
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: we'll know because what if people don't trace of me?

329
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: They tweet when when something like this happens, no cameras

330
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: are down. Oh, now they search. Maybe someone has a

331
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: search on their Twitter for a safe search that says

332
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: Nest down, and they just wait for a whole bunch

333
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: of those tweets and then they go strike.

334
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: Could they just be saying it's a server thing, that

335
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: they were updating the server.

336
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: I think it probably. I mean, that's kind of a

337
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: catch all for like we made a mistake.

338
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: If I was a security company, I don't, I mean,

339
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: you don't know, lie, But like I feel like they

340
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to say, you know, we were hacked.

341
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't think in this instance they were,

342
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: but maybe they were. You never know. I mean usually

343
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: they come out and say something big picture and then

344
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe they narrow it down later in a security.

345
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: Block, updating or hacked server.

346
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

347
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: All right. This next question comes from Erica, and if

348
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: you want Rich to answer your tech questions, just go

349
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: to his web site rich on tech dot tv and

350
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: hit the contact button. Erica asks, can you please tell

351
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: me what the best anti virus software is?

352
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Ooh interesting? I get this question so much. People are

353
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: obsessed with antivirus software. And here's my thought on it.

354
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: I think that you should have it number one. If

355
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: you have Windows ten, it's kind of built in. It's

356
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: called Windows Defender, and that's Microsoft's built in virus protection.

357
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: So I would say, make sure that's up to date,

358
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: make sure you haven't disabled that, make sure you haven't

359
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: gotten rid of that. Now after that, I feel like

360
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: a lot of these antivirus softwares are very spammy and

361
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: they kind of bogged down your system. Like let's just

362
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: say the big company out there that you know, I'm

363
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: not going to mention the name, but there's a big

364
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: company that everyone knows is synonymous with anti virus.

365
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

366
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: I've had that antivirus before, and I just feel like

367
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot going on for nothing, and so people

368
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: turn to these other apps that might maybe use less

369
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: resources on their system. So with all that said, I

370
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: mean to me, on my Mac, I was recommending Silance,

371
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: which we did a story with, which I thought was

372
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: really cool because it was it was sort of immediate

373
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: and it was just a very cool AI powered But

374
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: then BlackBerry bought them, and I'm not sure that they

375
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: even do personal BlackBerry. Yeah, let's see if they even

376
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: do Silence anti virus. Let's see if they do it

377
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: anymore for like consumers. And I thought this was cool

378
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: because they do it in like real time, so uh,

379
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: let's see. Yeah, they do have it, Okay, Silance Smart antivirus.

380
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: So that's the one that I'd still recommend Windows in

381
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: Mac compatible okay. And it's what's cool about it is

382
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: that it's kind of anti virus with a brain, so

383
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: it looks at what's happening on your computer and if

384
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: it notices something that's going on that's bad in real time,

385
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: it'll stop that from happening, which compared to the other

386
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: way most antivirus works. It has a large definition of stuff,

387
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: and any file that you bring onto your system, it

388
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of checks it across that definition and it says, oh,

389
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: this is one of the bad files. This Silence works

390
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: by kind of identifying things in real time that are bad. Okay,

391
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: so that's kind of cool. Other than that, I would

392
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: look at something like a vast which I like, and

393
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: then malware bytes I also like. And again, a lot

394
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: of these things they start out free and then they

395
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: want you to be paid. Silence is just totally paid.

396
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: It's forty nine dollars a year for ten devices. I

397
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: think that's well worth it. Yeah, so good question. Speaking

398
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: of security, Firefox continues to kind of push user security.

399
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are using Firefox these

400
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: days anymore. Remember what it was kind of a popular

401
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: way to surf the internet. A lot of people use

402
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: Chrome nowadays, which has a lot of security built in.

403
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: But when you're using Chrome, a lot of your data

404
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: is being siphoned off to Google because it's owned by Google.

405
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: And why do they want you to use a browsers

406
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: so that they have more of a knowledge of who

407
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: you are and what you're doing. Well, now Firefox is

408
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: doing this new thing called DNS over HTTPS, and this

409
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: gets really techy, really nerdy, But the bottom line, when

410
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: you type in a website into your computer like Yahoo

411
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: dot com, and most websites are encrypted at this point.

412
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: So when you go to Yahoo, everything you do on

413
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: there is now private. Basically most websites. If you look

414
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: there's a little padlock next to the website. That means

415
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: that whatever you type into that website no one can

416
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: really see because it's encrypted. It means it's kind of

417
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: enshrouded in secrecy between your computer and the computer on

418
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: the receiving end. Back in the day, it wasn't, so

419
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: anything you did was just kind of interceptible by anyone. Right,

420
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: long story short, when you type in that Yahoo dot com,

421
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: that first thing you type in your ISP and other people,

422
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: because of the way it's looked up, can see what

423
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: you're typing in. Okay, So even though they can't see

424
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: what happens once you get to that website, like your

425
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: bank website, they can see that you went to your

426
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: bank website. So what Firefox is doing is they are

427
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: actually starting to do these look ups in a secured way.

428
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: So when you type in, you know, Yahoo dot com,

429
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: it needs to convert that into an address like one

430
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: nine two dot zero dot nine dot one. It will

431
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: do that in an encrypted way, which means it's still secret,

432
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: which means that your internet service provider, the person who

433
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: brings the internet into your home, will not be able

434
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: to see a lot of the things that you do

435
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: on the web. Okay, whereas before they could still collect

436
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of data about people and know that

437
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: they're visiting whatever website, shopping websites, and they can sell

438
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: that data, they can cross reference it, now they no

439
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: longer have. If you're using Firefox, they will basically not

440
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: really see anything that you're doing. So it's like a

441
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: little step of security. Yeah, and now, I know a

442
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: lot of people's minds go to kind of dirty or

443
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: things with this stuff, but it's not always for that.

444
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of countries in the world where you're

445
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: not as free as you are in America. So even

446
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: looking up something about a dictator or who knows any

447
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: kind of government stuff may put you in on a

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 1: watch list or whatever. Oh interesting, And so again this

449
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: is all in making life a little bit more private,

450
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: especially in those moments when you may not realize that

451
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: someone has access to this data and Internet service providers

452
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: still have a lot of access to the data and

453
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: the things that are happening in your home with your internet,

454
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: and so by kind of closing some of these little holes,

455
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: it patches some of the privacy leaks out there. And

456
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: again this is something that only Firefox is doing. And

457
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: by the way, I mentioned like kind of the world

458
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: scope of things, this is only turned on by default

459
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: in the US. If you're in a different country using Firefox,

460
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: you have to go into the settings and turn on

461
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: DNS over https. Megan Cool.

462
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: This next question comes from tam Roku versus Firestick question mark,

463
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: what are the advantages and disadvantages of each and which

464
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 2: is better?

465
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good question. Advantages disadvantages. Okay, So Firestick

466
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: is Amazon, which means number one, they're pushing a lot

467
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: of Amazon stuff. So when you log on to a Firestick,

468
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: it's the whole screen is filled with stuff. Some of

469
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: it is advertising, a lot of it is kind of

470
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: like the new shows on Amazon. A lot of it

471
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: is stuff you've watched before. It's very cluttered, and I

472
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: feel like it is all over the place when it

473
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: comes to the clutter on the screen. And yes, your

474
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: apps and stuff are on there, but there's just a

475
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. And I find that for

476
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 1: every tile on that screen on my Fire, I am

477
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: clicking almost zero of them, Like they're not really I

478
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: don't want, Like whatever they're surfacing, I'm not using. So

479
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm just going into my Netflix app or I'm going

480
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: into my YouTube app or whatever. I'm not really looking

481
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: at all the other stuff. So if you now on

482
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: the flip side, if you love Amazon and you love

483
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Amazon shows, this is gonna be your best and watching

484
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: free Amazon stuff, this is gonna be your best way

485
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: of a conduit to those to those properties on the

486
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: flip side. Roku and they've always been like this is

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: kind of like the Switzerland, and I've said this before,

488
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: of streaming. They get your apps on screen. Yes, they're

489
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: to advertising, Yes they're pushing their own Roku channel. Yes

490
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: they're trying to get you to sign up for certain

491
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: new apps and channels and stuff. But at the end

492
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: of the day, Roku is kind of like, if I

493
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: had to describe it, Fire Fire TV is very busy,

494
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: whereas Roku just kind of sits there and waits for

495
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: you to do something.

496
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's clean, Yeah, I love Roku and then we

497
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: have fire TV sticks in our house too.

498
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: And it's a difference. Yeah.

499
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: I mean like I don't really use those TVs, but

500
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't like I don't really like the look of it,

501
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: Like I think it's it like you said, it's too cluttered.

502
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I recently switched to Apple TV, which is when

503
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: you talk about the least of everything, it's there's nothing

504
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: on there, right, no ads, there's no nothing. They don't

505
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: push you to anything. It's just your apps, just like

506
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: the iPhone.

507
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: But it's funny. I had to kind of explain to

508
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: my dad the other day because I was like, Apple

509
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: TV and then there's Apple TV. Plus he was like, wait,

510
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: what that is? And so that's something that's also confusing.

511
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: But Apple TV is very it's like the cleanest.

512
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Yes, it is the cleanest. It's also the most expensive, right.

513
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Roku has a price range for everyone. Fire TV stick

514
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: you can, you know, give them out like Halloween candy.

515
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: They're so cheap. Yeah, my choice between those two things,

516
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: i'd probably I think they're both great. It really depends

517
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: what you like. My biggest beef with the Fire TV

518
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: is I can never ever just I just want to

519
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: see what the top movie rentals are. I can never

520
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: find that on my Fire TV. And that's what really

521
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: pushed me over the edge with the Apple is. I'm

522
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: just like, if I can't find this, this is I

523
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: love to just see what the top movies are, and

524
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: on Fire I just can't find it. It's like it's

525
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: just it's there somewhere, but it's like it's like top

526
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: Prime Choice, Top Prime Romantic Choices, top Prime action movies,

527
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: top Prime TV shows. I'm like, just give me movies

528
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: that are people are renting and watching.

529
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a question kind of related to this.

530
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about like how you've changed your

531
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 2: like cable situation. What are you doing right now? Because

532
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: I have an aunt who she's like, all I want

533
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: to watch is The Bachelor, and but I have direct

534
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 2: TV And I was like, well then you should just

535
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: have Hulu. But then she was like, but you know

536
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: then we want sports occasionally. So what is your what

537
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: are you doing again?

538
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: So what I'm doing is I can tell you two things.

539
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: So number One, I don't watch a lot of TV,

540
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: so I don't need any I've recently canceled my direct

541
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: TV now which was sixty bucks a month. I do

542
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: have a device that allows me. It's called Tableau, which

543
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: allows me to take in an antenna signal. Before I

544
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: was using the Amazon Fire TV recast Tableau, same thing,

545
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: except it works across all the different platforms and it's

546
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: just a little tiny box that you plug your antenna into.

547
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: And now you have an app on your TV screen

548
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: on your Fire or your Apple TV or your Roku

549
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: that lets you access your local channels over the air,

550
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: and you can also record them to if you want.

551
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it costs five bucks a month if you

552
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: want the program data for a longer period of time.

553
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't need that because I just tune in live.

554
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: So when I was watching like the Grammys Boom, just

555
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: tune in live.

556
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: Right And ABC is an over the channel, So like.

557
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of the time, the stuff you want

558
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: to watch, like the big events are free. Now when

559
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: it comes to sports, that's where things get tricky. So

560
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: with me personally, I watch USC football. I would say

561
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: some of the games are on over the air on

562
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: ABC seven or something like that, or NBC when it's

563
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: Notre Dame a lot of times on ESPN, So how

564
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: do I get ESPN right now? I don't have a solution.

565
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: I haven't. It was past football season when I got

566
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: rid of direct TV now, so this next season will

567
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: be an issue. I don't know what I'm gonna do,

568
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a part of it. But I

569
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: would say the other thing you could do. There's a

570
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: service called low cast, And this is what my mom does.

571
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: She went from having Direct TV Now for sixty bucks

572
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: a month to now she pays five dollars a month

573
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: for low cast, and it's if you don't feel like

574
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: putting an antenna on your house, you download this app

575
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: and you donate five dollars a month to them. They

576
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: have an antenna somewhere and then they stream the pannels

577
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: to your TV. Wow. Now the broadcasters don't necessarily like

578
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: that model because they're not necessarily getting paid for that.

579
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: So now they don't get paid for antenna either. And

580
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: the way low cast argues is that, well, we're just

581
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: an extended antenna signal. Right, We're just taking the antenna

582
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: signal from a nice rooftop somewhere and just piping it

583
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: into your TV. Broadcasters like, eh, we don't know if

584
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, allowed, So they're kind of operating in

585
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: a gray area. So far, so good. They've been around

586
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: for a bit. But that's another box, Tableau t t

587
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: A b l oh t A.

588
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: So you just need like one tableau box.

589
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it'll service all your TVs. Now there's a

590
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: certain amount you can watch from those. I think it's

591
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: two TVs at once or two channels at once. But yeah,

592
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: that's that's a way of doing it. And there's also

593
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: I did when I when I wanted to watch something

594
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: on a channel that I did not get, I did

595
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: subscribe to Fubo TV for one day and I just

596
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: signed up for a free and it got me. I

597
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: think it was the Grammys or something. It was whatever

598
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: whatever I couldn't get on something. I think it was

599
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: a Grammy pre show maybe, and it was on E

600
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: and I didn't have E. So I just signed up

601
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: for a day, got the show, and boom, I was done.

602
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: Oh maybe it was Super Bowl anyway, good question. Speaking

603
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: of streaming TV, Netflix is finally finally showing us the

604
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: most popular TV shows and movies on its Yes, finally,

605
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: it's been so long and I get it Netflix. And

606
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: we've talked about this on the podcast where they'd love

607
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: to be personalized, and they want to make everything perfect

608
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: for you. Sometimes I just want to see what is

609
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: popular across everyone, not just myself. This is kind of

610
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: like a dating app. It's like, now everyone's dating on

611
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: these apps, and you're literally picking the person that's the

612
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: equivalent of you, except either you know, male or female,

613
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: or you know whatever you prefer. But it's just like you,

614
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: except in another human Like, well, I like bagel, so

615
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: they should like bagels. I like romantic comedies.

616
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: They should like love bagels.

617
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I like going to Hawaii, so they should like going

618
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. I like food at fancy restaurants, so they

619
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: should like you're literally picking the same person, except because

620
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: these little apps let you pick every aspect of the

621
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: person rather than you know, the old days anyway. So

622
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Netflix to me is kind of like that. It's like,

623
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: we only want to show you what we think you'll

624
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: love because of what you watched before. Well, guess what,

625
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I'm a dynamic person. I may want to watch some

626
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: random movie like I watched that dumb to All the

627
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: Boys I loved before whatever.

628
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: Oh you did, Yeah it was not very good, started

629
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: it and then I was like, I'm bored.

630
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: Really it was very much sponsored by like Subway. Like

631
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: remember they kept getting like Subway subs.

632
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: In that movie.

633
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so those kind of things like I don't. I

634
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: will sample weird things like that every once in a while,

635
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: Like that Cheer show. People are saying, that's very good and.

636
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: Like the old show No cheer.

637
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's about cheerleading. Yeah it's it's the premise

638
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: is cheerleading, but it's really about like determination and drive

639
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So again I might check that out.

640
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: Right.

641
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so now you can see top ten lists on Netflix,

642
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: and they're going to show you the top ten most

643
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: popular series and the top ten films when you click

644
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: on the movies and TV show tabs not on your

645
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: home screen, I guess, so you have to go into

646
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: the tab.

647
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

648
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: And the best part is any show that when you're

649
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: browsing that's into the top ten, it will have a

650
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: little top ten batge so you can see, like this

651
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: is the top ten. And I think that's kind of

652
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: fun rather than they always put these weird things like

653
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: trending on Netflix, popular on Netflix. Just show me the

654
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: top ten, give me the list. I can handle it.

655
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can handle it.

656
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: You can't handle the truth.

657
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know if I can handle the truth. Okay,

658
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: this next question comes from Cleveland. Do you know of

659
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: any dashcams that record overnight without being plugged into the

660
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: power outlet of your car. I would like to be

661
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: able to record both facing out and inward if possible.

662
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: The outward facing would be ideal in the event of

663
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: any accident while parked or a theft.

664
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Well, I would say that a lot of the dash

665
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: cams will do this functionality no matter what. So even

666
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: if a dash cam requires power from your car, uh,

667
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: just look. Okay, So here's what you look for. Look

668
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: for a dash can that has an on board battery.

669
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: And what it does is it will it'll plug into

670
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: your cigarette lighter and it'll be charging this battery on board,

671
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: So most of the time it's powered by your car,

672
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: but when you turn off your car, it will still

673
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: have enough juice in it to roll camera if your

674
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: car is hit. And so that's the other thing you

675
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: need to look for is a g shock sensor. And

676
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: all that looks is for a movement, you know, like

677
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: a boom boom boom like and you can usually set

678
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: the sensitivity for that. So if you want just you know,

679
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: if someone runs a car at the you know, Ralph's

680
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: parking lot, I said Ralphs twice in this podcast, you

681
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: know the grocery store parking lot. If someone runs a

682
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: car into your car, you may not want that to

683
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: trigger a recording, like you're really gonna go after that person.

684
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: I would hunt them down. Now you have a new car,

685
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: do you have that feeling of like there is a

686
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: moment when have you gotten a ding on it yet?

687
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: No?

688
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: Okay, but you know there's a time Wait.

689
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: That's a lot. I got a tiny, tiny, tiny little ding.

690
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: When I was Isn't that the worst feeling?

691
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: I like almost cried.

692
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just you know what's gonna happen when you

693
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: have a new car, and it's just but it's.

694
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: Like, it's the worst.

695
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: I've had my car for like three years. And at

696
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: this point I don't care anymore because my kids will

697
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: take the door lease. Well I know, but so now

698
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: do you care less because of that?

699
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: No?

700
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I care more because I large you at the end.

701
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think they end. Sometimes they don't know,

702
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: but maybe they won't even notice.

703
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like they have to understand

704
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: when a car is going through normal wear and tear. Yeah,

705
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna get dings throughout three years of a lease, right.

706
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: And I've heard stories from people out of return cars.

707
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes they look over them like with a fine tooth comb.

708
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: Other times they don't care, right, And so it just

709
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: kind of depends.

710
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: I guess maybe if you're like gonna lease another car

711
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: from them, Yeah, like.

712
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: Exactly, we'll look the other way, don't.

713
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Oh, we will look at the like missing tire.

714
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was just gonna say. Did we

715
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: deliver this car with four tires or three? Only three?

716
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: You're getting another porche It's fine.

717
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: Well look the other right. So the couple of things

718
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: you want to look for in your camera is a

719
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: g shock sensor and an onboard battery. With that said,

720
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: the camera that I like is the Vava camera. Via Va,

721
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't believe that it records both the front and

722
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: the back. The other camera to look at is the

723
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: owl cam, And the other one I tried was called

724
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: the Pure Cam, and that one was great. Every quord

725
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: that has all the things I just talked about. What

726
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: it did not do is it did not have good

727
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: software on your iPhone, so it was really poor software,

728
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: and that's what kept me from using that. We've talked

729
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast before Jiff versus GIF. In fact,

730
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: I think it was this last podcast that we had

731
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: a whole talk about this pronunciation debate, and now it

732
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: might be coming to an end thanks to a marketing

733
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: stunt by Jeff Peanut Butter. Jeff Peanut Butter came out

734
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: with two special jars that help you explain to yourself

735
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: how you should pronounce Jeff versus Giff. Jeff. You know

736
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: the peanut butter. It's always been pronounced Jeff with a

737
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: j if. Giff is written g if. A lot of

738
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: people call it a jiff, but they're saying hard G

739
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: for GIF and soft G for jiff the peanut butter. Okay,

740
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: hard G for the graphic, the leaping animated image, soft

741
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: jay for the peanut butter. So now you care. It

742
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: is actually easy to remember, huh.

743
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: I know. I Yeah, it is like j I just

744
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: always called gifts gifts.

745
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, I But it's funny because of the game.

746
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: The guy who came out with.

747
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: Who right you were telling me this last week.

748
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: Said, Jeff, I remember this is south by Southwest them.

749
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It stands for, like we said

750
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: last week, graphics interchange format with graph fixedrookok, I don't

751
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: want to get through this, but Griff, long story short,

752
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: the bottles of peanut butter sold out instantly on Amazon.

753
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: They were selling a two pack, you know, the two

754
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: bottles a pair for ten bucks, Okay, And I guess

755
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: people went crazy over these things, and it's kind of fun.

756
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: I could see why. Yeah, And they put more on

757
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: Amazon and those sold out in like one minute. So

758
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: I do have a pair of bottles coming to me.

759
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 1: They're supposed to arrive today. I was hoping they were

760
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: in time for today's TV hits. I didn't get them

761
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: in time, so maybe I'll show them off next week.

762
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: But I like the idea of just having this on

763
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: my desk so I always remember. I'm like Giff, Jiff.

764
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: And again, it's a marketing stunt, but it's kind of fun.

765
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: I like it. It's cute, all right. This next question

766
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: comes from Steve. Except for Alert, the location settings on

767
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: my iPhone apps are set to while I'm using the app.

768
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 2: But I also know that once I open an app,

769
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: it stays open until I close it individually while it

770
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: is in this state that is open but non current use.

771
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: Is it still reporting my location?

772
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: This is a great question. Yeah, and the short answer

773
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: is yes, but no. And so here's what's happening on you.

774
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: He's talking about the iPhone, right, Yeah, So on the iPhone,

775
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: when you open up an app, when you're using it,

776
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: your anything goes like it. You know, whatever permissions you've

777
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: given it, whether it's your location, microphone camera, whatever, it

778
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: can access those things when it shifts to the background.

779
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: There are two ways it can.

780
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: Be handled, so when you change to another app, you

781
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: still have it.

782
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: Like kind of in your recent apps.

783
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 2: All my apps open all the time.

784
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: But you're okay, because the way that the iPhone works

785
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: is it puts apps to sleep in the background. Now

786
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: that the time app the time that it takes to

787
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: go to sleep is could be a potential issue. So

788
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: some apps like to stay awake in the background so

789
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: that they can do certain things all the time. So

790
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: like a music streaming app has gotten special permission from

791
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: Apple to stay awake in the background because otherwise it

792
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to stream music. A mapping app has

793
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: special permission to work in the background so that it

794
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: can gather your GPS coordinates and give you directions. Now,

795
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: other apps have firm rules for how long they can

796
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 1: stay accessing system resources in the background before Apple says

797
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: night night, goodbye, see you later. So the longer. The

798
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: short of it is, if it's not a nefarious app

799
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: that is trying to do something evil and it's been

800
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: coded word, if it's not been coded in an evil way,

801
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: it will eventually go to sleep. And that's why Apple

802
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: always says you do not need to close out your

803
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: recent apps unless they are behaving badly, and then you

804
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: can go ahead and swipe them closed. Otherwise you're doing

805
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: just fine. Your apps in the background should not be

806
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: accessing stuff that they shouldn't be able to access in

807
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: the foreground.

808
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: That answer it, Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

809
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: Now with that said, on Android, whole different story system.

810
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: Our apps can use resources in the background on Android

811
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: much easier than they can on iOS. That's also the

812
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: reason why the battery lasts longer on iOS because basically

813
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: the app that you're using is pretty much the only

814
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: thing that's happening on your phone at that time, Versus Android,

815
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: a lot of things could be happening in the background. Now,

816
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: there's advantages to that on Android, and I'll just go

817
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: into one. One example is Google Photos. So on Android,

818
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Google Photos can work in the background even if you

819
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: haven't opened the app to upload all your pictures in

820
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: the background. With iOS, it only gets that permission when

821
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: you open up the app, and maybe in the background

822
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: when you have it on a charger and it has

823
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: been properly coded to kind of ping the server and say, hey,

824
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: I've got some pictures here. Can I upload these real quick?

825
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: And your iPhone says, well, you can't use this all night.

826
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: You can't just stay open and transmitting data all night,

827
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: but we'll give you a couple of minutes to kind

828
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: of refresh things. That's called background refresh. Okay, it's very complicated,

829
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: but it's done for a reason. On the iPhone, they've

830
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: optimized the iPhone in such a heavy way to make

831
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: the battery last and also make sure that these apps

832
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: aren't doing things they shouldn't be doing.

833
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: Good to know.

834
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: Uh, okay, oh shoot, we have a couple of things,

835
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: all right, I want to get to Okay, this is

836
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: really interesting. We'll do two more things. Okay, but this

837
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: is really interesting. This director said that on camera you

838
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: won't see bad guys in movies using the iPhone because

839
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: Apple does not allow their products to be portrayed in

840
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: that light. This is knives out director Ryan Johnson in

841
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: an interview with Variety. With an interview with Vanity Fair.

842
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 3: Another funny thing. I don't know if I should say

843
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 3: this or not, not because it's like Lasiba's or some

844
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: because it's going to screw me on the next mystery

845
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 3: movie that I write, but forget, I'll say it's very interesting.

846
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 3: Apple they let you use iPhones and movies, but in

847
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: the is very pivotal. If you're ever watching a mystery movie,

848
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 3: bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera. So no, every

849
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: single filmmaker who does a bad guy in their movie

850
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be a secret wants to murder me.

851
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: Right now, Let's see what Jamie's saying.

852
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: Interesting, interesting, interesting revelation. That's again knives out director Ryan

853
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: Johnson in a YouTube interview for Vanity Fair YouTube video.

854
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: And what he's saying is that I think here's what

855
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: he's saying. I'm reading between the lines. He says that

856
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: you can't really have an iPhone in the hands of

857
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: a villain on screen because Apple doesn't like that. I

858
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: think What he is not saying is this is when

859
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Apple is supplying the phones for the production. If you

860
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: ever watch Modern Family, every device on that show was

861
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: an Apple device. At the end of the show, it

862
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: says promotional consideration provided by Apple, because Apple gave those

863
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 1: directors a whole bunch of stuff and they were able

864
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: to use them in their show. Along with that whole

865
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: bunch of free stuff to use iPad and tablets and

866
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, imax and all these iPhones in the show.

867
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: They also had a little line in that that said,

868
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: here's how you will not use these products. You're not

869
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: going to show them doing bad things. You're not going

870
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: to show people throwing them and crashing them and you know,

871
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: getting into car accidents using them in the car. You

872
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. There's a whole bunch of regulations

873
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: that come along with these free products. But if you

874
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: and I are doing a music video and we don't

875
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: ask Apple for free phones or permission, we could do

876
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: whatever we want with these phones. So if villain Meghan

877
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: is on screen crushing you know, a character with her

878
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: bare hands, you can have an iPhone and make a

879
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: call after that.

880
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: Villain Meghan.

881
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: Okay, finally, I just want to mention one more thing,

882
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: because I've talked about this before with you, and I

883
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: just think this is super interesting. New York Times did

884
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: a little informal survey of how expensive it is to

885
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: eat using food delivery apps, and it is fascinating because

886
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: I've always had this hypothesis, right, I always call it.

887
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: I call it the most expensive way to eat. In fact,

888
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: I would argue that getting food delivery at this point

889
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: is almost more expensive than going to a restaurant and eating. Yeah, yeah,

890
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: because you're paying all these service charges and fees. And

891
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: what people don't even realize is when you look at

892
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: the menu on uber eats.

893
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 2: Or Postmates, they like it's the they redo the menu

894
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: for the app. So it's like five dollars rice is

895
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: actually now ten dollars rice, so you're paying double exactly.

896
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: Its insane.

897
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: So they looked at grub Hub, door Dash, Postmates, Uber Eats,

898
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: and the restaurant. So for instance, a six inch turkey

899
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: breast sub at Subway, if you got two of them,

900
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: would be twelve dollars and fifty eight cents at the restaurant.

901
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 1: Get it through uber eats, it's fourteen dollars and seventy

902
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: eight cents on the menu. By the way, this doesn't

903
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: include the extra fees on the menu at Postmates fourteen

904
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: seventy eight, door Dash fourteen seventy eight, grub Hub eleven

905
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: ninety eight. Then you've got your delivery fee anywhere from

906
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: a dollar ninety nine to three one nine. Then you've

907
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: got your service fee. A lot of times they'll say, oh,

908
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 1: free delivery this, you know on a Tuesday night with

909
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: this code. Well they don't tell you is that you

910
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: still pay a service fee yep, and then you pay

911
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: sales tax, which of course you.

912
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: Pay the party thing on Postmates. I always like, when

913
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm lazy, i might do it, and then I'm like, no,

914
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: it all adds up to the same thing.

915
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: They've created fees so that they can credit you fees.

916
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like false advertising. They're like, oh, it's

917
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 2: free this, but yeah. Anyways, so the total.

918
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: Cost for these two subs if you ate them at

919
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: the restaurant thirteen dollars twenty one cents, or I guess

920
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: if you got them at the restaurant, if you pick

921
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: them up. Total costs and Uber each twenty five dollars,

922
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: Postmates twenty two dollars, Door Dash nineteen dollars, grub Hub

923
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: sixteen dollars. Markups range from twenty five percent to ninety

924
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: one percent. Now here's the thing. When you're ordering Postmates

925
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,439
Speaker 1: for twenty one fifty two for two subs, for someone

926
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: to bring it to your house seems pretty reasonable. You're

927
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: not really thinking about the fact that it's thirteen bucks

928
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: if you went and drove there yourself, because all this

929
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: convenience of this person bringing it to your home. But

930
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: that's still a markup of sixty three percent.

931
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

932
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: A couple other things about this is that Ubers service

933
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: charges were the most unpredictable. It seemed like grub Hub

934
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: was kind of the cheapest out of these when it

935
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: comes to the markup. And the bottom line is that

936
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: there's not really much you can do about this. If

937
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: you like these delivery apps, you are paying a premium.

938
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: And what I always say, and I've used them, don't

939
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: like I'm not preaching here, but it's almost like there

940
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: are nights when I'm sitting there so ready to order

941
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: one of these apps, one of these food apps, and

942
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know what, let me just go

943
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: and just make something myself. Like it's actually cheaper for

944
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: me to go to the grocery store and just buy

945
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: something that I can make that night.

946
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: I was going to Postmates to potle and then I thought, well,

947
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: maybe they have free delivery, like weirdly, and I went

948
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: to their site and they had free delivery and it

949
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: was the same as if I had gone in store.

950
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 2: So I use their free delivery service.

951
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a lot of these companies right now

952
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: are experimenting with using Postmates and grub Hub and all

953
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: these other things. Yeah, but then they're sort of when

954
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: they get their own thing in place, they're using their

955
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: own delivery, right, So it's we're in a middle time.

956
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, I thought, look up the New York

957
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 1: Times article. It's very fascinating. It's kind of eye opening.

958
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: And by the way, my go to simplest thing ever

959
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: is just a protein like a salmon or a chicken

960
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: or a steak. Buy one of those, and then you

961
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: get some rice, and then you buy some veggies. My

962
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: go to is just broccoli and bell pepper.

963
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 2: Are you saying just to like make your own dinner.

964
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you make your own bowl and then you put

965
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: some of that, you put some of that. Karaoke stuff

966
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: on it. I mean it's so easy. I made them

967
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: last night, and it's I mean, a whole family of

968
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: four could eat for like five bucks or ten dollars

969
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: instead of forty dollars.

970
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy.

971
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,359
