And the people, I mean, 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: the people have to do this. Like we're sitting here 29 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: in the newsroom, you know, seeing it happen. There are 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: people out on the front lines that this is like 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 1: really really and. 32 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 2: You actually were on somewhat of a front line. 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, not too well, so so real real quick. I 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: was driving to work on Monday morning, and usually what 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: happens when there's fires is our stuff is preempted, at 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: least here in Los Angeles. We do syndicate out and 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: sometimes we are on those other places, but it's everything 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: just thrown up in right. Yeah, So Monday, I'm driving 39 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: to work and I'm like, you know what, I'm not 40 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: just gonna like sit around on Monday morning. I want 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: to do something. And so I just said, send me 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: a crew and I'll just report from this fire that 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: was in West LA. Because it was so crazy that 44 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: it was like so. 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: Closely angle too, because you were like right on sunset 46 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: and the four or five and you could you could 47 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: see the fire in the distance, and then there's like 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: the four or five Freeway, which is a major, you know, 49 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: the most major freeway huge in LA. Right, So that 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: was just absolutely wild. 51 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: So I thought that angle alone was pretty interesting. I 52 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: knew the area pretty well because I'd lived there for 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: many years. My wife's family lives over there. So it's 54 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: so funny. I won't go totally into it, you know, 55 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: but the the funniest part of that whole situation was 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: that I got I think more phone calls and texts 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: from friends and random people saying it was good to 58 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: see you out there, and like, people forget that I 59 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: did start out as like a regular reporter before I 60 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: did tech news, and I love tech and I'm not 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: going back to that, but I it's like it's just 62 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: it's like riding a bike, you know, it comes back 63 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: to you and it is there is something really interesting 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: about being out there because I love to talk to 65 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: people and I love to just tell stories and to 66 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: help people too. Yeah, and so just hearing how people 67 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: woke up and what happened and what was going on 68 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: was really interesting. And I was nowhere near the real 69 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: like what oura will send you. Yeah, I'll get a 70 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: little I'll just keep getting a little bit closer. That's 71 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: actually kind of But one thing I did have a 72 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: chance to really take a deep dive into this week 73 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: are the new AirPods Pro. This was a surprise announcement 74 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: by Apple, and I was able to get my hands 75 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: on a pair from Apple, and I've been using them 76 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: for the past couple of days, and I will tell 77 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: you they did a fantastic job. And don't just chalk 78 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: this up to me being an Apple fanboy, because as 79 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not, but I will give credit where 80 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: credit is due. And I love the original AirPods no 81 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: matter what. I've tried a lot of headphones. I get it. 82 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: Were they the best headphones in the world? No? But 83 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: did they work really well and kind of serve like 84 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: a really good purpose Like I'll never forget. I had 85 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: mine since day one. Took me a little bit to 86 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: get my wife on board, but I finally said, look, 87 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: we're going to the grove. We're gonna buy these things. 88 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: And she had no idea. She just knew she heard 89 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: me talking about them, and so we ended up getting them. 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: And the moment that she questioned it is when we 91 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: got to the checkout, you know, they just check you 92 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: out like wherever you are in the store. Yeah, and 93 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: the guys like, you know, it was like one hundred 94 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: and seventy eight dollars whatever it was with tax. She's like, wait, 95 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: you start one hundred and seventy eight dollars And I 96 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, let's use them every day at the gym. 97 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: Defensive but yes, yes, but it's one of these They're 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: going to use it every day, are. 99 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: Going to use it, and you're not just gonna use it, 100 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: You're gonna love it. So AirPods Pro builds upon the 101 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 1: air pods, they don't replace them. They have a new design. 102 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: They have active noise cancelation built in, which means they 103 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: actually listen using a microphone and create a signal that 104 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: cancels out outside noise. Then they also have something called 105 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: transparency mode, so you can switch between the two modes. 106 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: Either you block out everything or you can hear stuff 107 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: in your music and other people around you. So if 108 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: you're kind of like in the office setting, maybe sometimes 109 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: you want to focus. Other times you want to be 110 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: able to hear your call. 111 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: I listen in on what people are talking about. 112 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: You can use that feature on the iPhone too. What's that? 113 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: What is that called the listening? Remember we did that 114 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: little video where you can turn your your iPhone into 115 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: like a little spider I talk. 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: But like, yeah, you could like like listen. I don't know, 117 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 2: but yes, I. 118 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: Remember that, and uh, the only thing that is kind 119 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: of a bummer. Well, let me just go through the 120 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: other things on the you got hey Siri, which is 121 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: actually really cool, by the way, I forgot how awesome 122 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: that feature is because I don't really use it on 123 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: my iPhone as much. But when you just have the 124 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: headphones in, you can start to do everything like play 125 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: music and call people and stuff all wirelessly. Pretty darn 126 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: col announced messages. So I was at the gym yesterdayd 127 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: a little gym test with these sounded great. When I 128 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: put these things in and I pressed the noise transfer canceling, 129 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: it was I've never had a workout like that where 130 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: you're just immersed in your music and you don't hear anything. 131 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: I feel like Jim should not play music. Yeah, what's 132 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: the point. Everyone has their own music. I don't less 133 00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: they like music. 134 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: DJ DJ and Jay, Well it's not a thing. 135 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's the thing if you have 136 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: a class, I get yeah on the treadmill, Like I 137 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: don't need your music playing with my music. So anyway, 138 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: so those canceled that out. That was really cool. The 139 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: other thing that it did is it it announces your messages. 140 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: So I got a couple of texts while I was 141 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: working out, and normally that would kind of fumble you 142 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: up and you kind of look at your phone and 143 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: distract you. It just read them right to me. 144 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 2: Which is so the regular AirPods don't do that. 145 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: I think they may now the new ones. I think 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: the new ones do. Okay. There's there's the original AirPods, 147 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: there's the air pods like two or whatever, and then 148 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: there's now AirPods pro got it, Okay, So I think 149 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: the two, the ones with Hay Siri, the original, second, 150 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: original ones, those do that. I think I'm pretty sure 151 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: they do. And then they also have this thing called 152 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: the ear tip fit test, so you put them in 153 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: your ear and you're always wondering are these in right? 154 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Are they seated in too much? Are they not in enough? 155 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: It will use like some kind of weird algorithm and 156 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: it'll play a little song in your head and tell 157 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: you if it's fitted right, which's also really cool. So 158 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: if you're not using the right there's three different sides 159 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: of silicone earbuds. If you're not using those or tips, 160 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: I should say, it'll say, like you know, switch to 161 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: a different size. 162 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Wait, so it comes with three different sizes. 163 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, so small, medium, large, medium, fits ninety nine percent 164 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: of people. Okay, two hundred and fifty dollars, which I 165 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: know sounds expensive, but let me give you the price breakdown. 166 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: The normal air pods are one fifty nine. If you 167 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: want them with a wireless case, they're two hundred. So 168 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: these being two fifty is really only fifty dollars more 169 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: because they come with a wireless charging case. Right, So 170 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: do you get them? Do you upgrade? Do you get 171 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: them if you want the noise cancelation feature? Yes, no brainer. 172 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: For me traveling a lot, I don't have to pack 173 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: my giant headphones anymore. That's gonna be awesome. I think 174 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: that for someone like me who hates the way that 175 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: ear pods or earbuds kind of seal out your ear, 176 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: I think these are perfect. They they work really well. 177 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: You mean the look, no, no, no, the way it 178 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: feels you feel like you're underwater. It's like, I don't know, 179 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: it just feels really weird. Things that steal out, like 180 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: AirPods don't seal out your ears. AirPods pro do. 181 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: Got it. See, I don't know if I like that personally. 182 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't like that either, But these are fine. I 183 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: have no problem with them. 184 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 185 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: And then the only other thing that's kind of weird 186 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: is I don't like it used to be a tap 187 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: to like change songs and stuff. This is you have 188 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: to squeeze the stem on the side, which is just 189 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: a little bit complicated and not as easy as tapping. 190 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: So there's the air pods review. If you have questions 191 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: for me, you can find me on Twitter at rich Dmurrol. 192 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about 193 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: air pods pro Megan, let's go with the ones. 194 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: First question of the day comes from Brenda. I love 195 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 2: this question because I feel like we haven't talked about 196 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: next door. But anyways, Brenda says she got a letter 197 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: in the mail about a neighborhood site that you can join, 198 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 2: and it's called nextdoor neighbor dot com. Okay, and I 199 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: can't hear myself. 200 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know why oh sorry, start from me, 201 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: all right. 202 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: So our first question comes from Brenda, and it's about 203 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: nextdoor next Door, the website. She asks, Hi, Rich, I 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: got a letter in the mail about a neighborhood site 205 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: that you can join, and it's called nextdoor dot com, 206 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: and I was wondering if you'd heard anything about this 207 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: type of website and if it's worth signing into. 208 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: So I have heard of Nextdoor. I've done stories on them. 209 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: We actually interviewed I think I don't know if it 210 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: was the founder or the CMO or someone. So I 211 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: was on it for a while. I totally deleted my account, 212 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: not just deleted the app. I actually deleted my account, 213 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why. I I'm not sure of 214 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: the value of nextdoor. Now, maybe it depends on your neighborhood. 215 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: But in my neighborhood, it was a lot of suspicion, 216 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: a lot of accusations, a lot of stuff that I 217 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily want to get involved in. It wasn't, hey, neighbor, 218 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: here's what we're doing. We're having a block party. And 219 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some of that on there. But what 220 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: I saw, the alerts that I was getting and the 221 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: stuff that I saw was generally trashy, negative, negative, didn't 222 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: need and it didn't help me with the way I 223 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: live in my neighborhood. Now. I am sure there are 224 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: some amazing communities on Nextdoor. I'm just telling you my 225 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: experience and why I deleted the app, and why I 226 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: don't recommend the app to people because I don't feel 227 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: like they're delivering on the mission that they set out 228 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: to do, which is amazing if you think about it. 229 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: Connect neighbors in your neighborhood great, But to be honest, 230 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: the way I've connected with my neighbors is face to face. 231 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: I know my neighbor's next door, I know them across 232 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: the street. I've got their phone numbers. I borrowed my 233 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: neighbor's chairs. The other day, my neighbor two neighbors in 234 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: a week, asked me if they can access video for 235 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: my cameras at my house because things happened in the 236 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: neighborhood and they wanted to see the camera footage. Oh interesting, 237 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: which is so crazy. I mean, this is the world 238 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: we live in now, So I don't recommend next door. 239 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: If you want something that is telling you about actual 240 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: crime in your neighborhood, I do love Citizen, and it's 241 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: scary and it's scary to see what's happening in your neighborhood. 242 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: But I think Citizen is killing it when it comes 243 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: to actual, accurate, accurate information. 244 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, next door.

And then also I've 250 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: seen a lot of strange like fighting between neighbors about 251 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: like well well that's you know, that's a racist thing 252 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: or what you know, and it gets it goes in 253 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 2: a negative direction. 254 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: It gets very it gets very negative, very fast. Yeah, 255 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: I just I don't want to be a part of that. 256 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: So so anyway, that's your answer about nextdoor, And yes, 257 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of letters in my mailbox where 258 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: people I think what happens is you like when someone 259 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: signs up in your neighborhood, you have the option to 260 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: send out like a bunch of letters to other people 261 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, like the next door does it on 262 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: there on your behalf Oh, so I just throw them 263 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: in the trash. 264 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: There's also a Twitter that makes fun of a lot 265 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: of crazy. 266 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: I am subscribed to Funny. It's so funny, best of Nextdoor. 267 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: I think it's called all right, let's talk about HBO Max. 268 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: There is a new streaming service every single day at 269 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: this point, and HBO or it seems that way, HBO 270 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: Max is the newest one. And I'm a little sad 271 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: that I was not invited to the unveiling Megan, which 272 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: was in Burbank, California, at the Warner Brothers lot. Excuse me, hello, 273 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: that's really mean. Yeah, so it is. HBO Max actually 274 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: sounds really good. But how many streaming services can we 275 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: possibly have and keep manage of and sign up for it? 276 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's crazy, but let me give you 277 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: the quick of it. So it launches in May of 278 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, so you've still got a while before you 279 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: can actually subscribe to this. It's going to be available 280 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: to customers for fifteen bucks a month, and they think 281 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: they're going to have fifty million subscribers by the end 282 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: of twenty so within five years. So at launch at 283 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and T, which owns all these properties, is going to 284 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: offer HBO Max to the ten million HBO subscribers on 285 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: HBO distribution platforms and nodittional charts. What does that mean? 286 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Somehow, if you have AT and 287 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: T you might get HBO Max. HBO now direct build 288 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: users who subscribe through HBO noow dot com will also 289 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: have access to HBO Max.

They say, 296 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: we're in active discussions with our distributors, which is the 297 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: cable companies who lose out in this whole which I 298 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: have no That's fine with me because cable companies have 299 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: done nothing nice in twenty five years, so it's fine 300 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: they can lose out right, but I'm not crying for them. 301 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: So here's what you get, HBO Max ten thousand hours 302 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: of premium content, including stuff from Warner Brothers, New Line, DC, CNN, TNT, TBS, 303 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: True TV, Turner classics Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchy Roll, 304 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, and more. Okay, so it's gonna 305 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: have a bunch of original programming. Let's see House of 306 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: the Dragon, a new original program, ten episodes straight to 307 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: series order, Game of Thrones prequel. You watch Game of Thrones, right, 308 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: so immediately all those people are gonna want this. Okay, 309 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: South Park is going to be on there. Rick and Morty, 310 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: the OC Do you ever watch that? 311 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: I watched a couple of seasons, yes. 312 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: Aquatine, do you Yeah, of course, Looney Tunes, Hannah Barbera, 313 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred films, including The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, 314 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: The Hobbit, Gremlins, Lego, every DC film from the last decade, Aquaman, Joker, 315 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: every Batman and super Man movie from the last forty years. 316 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: So they're really trying to compete. It sounds like with Disney. 317 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Plus and Netflix. 318 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: But what's confusing to me is just that there's HBO go. Yeah, 319 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: this is it's and so I feel like they almost 320 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: have to like rebrand get rid of HBO go yeah, 321 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: just exactly. 322 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: But then okay, like this is HBO, HBO Max.

Yes, that's what I HBO now is. For 326 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: people who only subscribe to the mobile version of HBO, 327 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: they don't have a channel on because they don't have cable. 328 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: HBO Max is now this new streaming service. So it's 329 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: really convoluted. But all you need to know fifteen bucks 330 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: a month. Definitely some compelling stuff, but it sounds like 331 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to get it for 332 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: free if they have some sort of AT and T products. 333 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: Got it? 334 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: Okay? 335 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: Cool?

This next question comes from Christina, and she's 336 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: trying to get internet access for her mother, who lives 337 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: in a rural area. She writes, my mother recently moved 338 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: from El Segundo to an agricultural area in Valley Center. 339 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: She used to have Spectrum for her internet connection. She 340 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: doesn't want cable TV, just access to Wi Fi for 341 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: her cell phone and then using her desktop computer and 342 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: a smart TV, and she's having She's struggling trying to 343 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: find something in the area. There are some satellite services 344 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: like Viasat that offer internet connection, but their speeds are 345 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: incredibly low and cost is very high. Is there another 346 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: way for my mom to get access to the internet. 347 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: So she lives in Valley. 348 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: Center, Well, I think she nailed it with the speeds 349 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: are really slow and the price is really high on satellite, 350 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: So just throw that out the window. That's not gonna work. 351 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: That's only like last ditch effort, like if you can't 352 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: get Internet any other way. So I'll recommend a few websites. 353 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what's available in her area, but there's 354 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: got to be something, okay, So I'll recommend a couple websites. 355 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: Check out high Speed Internet dot Com is one of them. 356 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: Type in your zip code and you can see what's available. 357 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: What area does she say she lives in. 358 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: She lives in Valley Center. 359 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: Vali Center, California. Okay, I would assumed. So that is uh, 360 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: let's see nine two eight two nine two eight two. 361 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: So I just did a quick search on high Speed 362 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Internet dot Com and it says that AT and T 363 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: is there with fiber connection as well as Cox Communications 364 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: with a three hundred megabit per second connection Mediacom as well, 365 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: So she's got three solid providers right there now. AT 366 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: and T is not as fast, but it looks like 367 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: Cox is going to be the fastest for her, so 368 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: check it out. The other one is Allconnect dot com 369 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna put in that same zip code. 370 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: And these are just ways of comparing what's available in 371 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: your area. It may surface some stuff that you didn't know. 372 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: But again they say that same thing at and T 373 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Mediacom and the satellite, so they did not get Cox, 374 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: so I don't know, maybe it's only available in certain areas. 375 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: There the other thing I would look at, and this 376 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: is new and this may actually be the best case 377 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: scenario for her mom, because it doesn't sound like she 378 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: needs a whole bunch. But T Mobile just opened up 379 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: home internet to everyone, and so now you can get 380 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: a little device that you put outside your window or 381 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: near your window or whatever and use it for internet 382 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: for your whole house. And it's fifty bucks a month 383 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: for unlimited everything and no annual contracts, no data caps, 384 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: no hidden fees, no price hikes, and no hardware costs 385 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: fifty dollars a month. And that might be the easiest 386 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: way because it's if she has T Mobile where she 387 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: lives Boom, She's got T Mobile high speed Internet at 388 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: home right now that's working on T mobiles LTE network. 389 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: The idea is that when they get five G, you'll 390 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: be able to get five G. And that is really 391 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: my thesis here is that right now we're in a 392 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: very changing time when it comes to home internet because 393 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: in a couple of years, when five G comes along 394 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: in a big way, all this is going to be 395 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: shaken up. Now the five G providers are owned by 396 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the wired providers, but still it's still 397 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: going to cause it's going to help. I think there's 398 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: some help, you know, at least at the beginning. Yeah, 399 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: all right, good question. Well this is really cool. Grocery 400 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: delivery is now a free Prime member perk. So if 401 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: you remember in the past, Amazon had something called Amazon Fresh, 402 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: which I was an early subscriber to back in the day, 403 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: like literally I was like day one subscriber in West 404 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: LA when I when they launched it, I was a subscriber. 405 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: I was like, this is so cool. You can get 406 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: your groceries delivered. But the downside that it was fifteen 407 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: dollars a month. I think they gave me a certain 408 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: amount of months for free, maybe it was three, and 409 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: so we used it and then we kind of subscribed 410 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: for a while. Because we thought it was worth it, 411 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: and then we ended up getting rid of it, and 412 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: then we ended up starting to use Amazon Prime now, 413 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: which kind of started to have a lot of groceries 414 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: for free. So we were like, oh, I see what 415 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: they're doing here. Well, long story short, now Amazon Fresh 416 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: is totally free if you're a Prime member. So now 417 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: you can get all kinds of groceries delivered to your 418 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: house from Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods, And it's pretty amazing. 419 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: We've done this in the past. 420 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: I mean the prices. I'm just looking at Amazon Fresh, like, 421 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: for instance, a bunch of bananas for a dollar. 422 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: How many five? Yeah, that's twenty cents of bana, which 423 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: is basically a Trader Joe's price, or like nineteen cents, 424 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: but I get I'm banas. 425 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 2: To bring it to me, that's yeah. 426 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: So how much are those what or bananas? 427 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: Oh? A dollar fifty for a bunch? Yeah? For five 428 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: order then yeah, please, let's see how long it'll take. 429 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: Here's here's the catch. And this sounds too good to 430 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: be true, because I did. I did some comparison. I 431 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: looked at what Ralph's is doing, and I looked at 432 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: some of these other grocery store deliveries, and they're charging 433 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: a lot. Even Walmart is charging like almost I think 434 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: it's one hundred bucks a year for their grocery delivery service. 435 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: But now that Amazon's doing it for free, it's not 436 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: really free. I mean, you have to be a Prime member, 437 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: but enough people are that is it's kind of like, okay, well, 438 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,239 Speaker 1: here's the catch. The catch is that if you have 439 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: not tried Fresh in the past, you can't immediately get 440 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: access to it because they know that everyone's just gonna 441 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, one in, So you have to 442 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: sign up on a waiting list. So for me, for instance, 443 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: when I go to Fresh, it's immediately available. 444 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: How do I know? Sorry? 445 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: Does it just you go to Amazon dot com slash Fresh. 446 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm just on the app. Oh you're on the app. Okay, 447 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: so try to order something and see what it says. 448 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: So say add to cart and just check out and 449 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: see if it lets you check out. 450 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Sorry, so. 451 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: You let me know. But that's the only catch. And 452 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: I actually had to clarify that with Amazon spokespeople because 453 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: they wrote their press release in a way that says 454 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: you can request an invitation and we'll let you know 455 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: when you're able to shop. Now, I think it's to 456 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: say you have to do that. 457 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: Well, it says in like fine print, like add thirty dollars. 458 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: If thirty dollars of items from Amazon Fresh for free. 459 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: To liver, okay, we keep so do that add like 460 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: twenty five of those things having your cart. I'm curious because, yeah, 461 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: the minimum for delivery for free is thirty five dollars. Oh, 462 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: but for access, what Amazon's saying is that you still 463 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: need to request access if you haven't used it in 464 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: the past, so you never know anyway. Ok just try 465 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: to see if that works. Just go on Amazon dot 466 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: com slash fresh and see if it works. 467 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 2: Love that though, Yeah, Okay. This next question comes from 468 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: Paula about the iPhone five s I thought I heard 469 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 2: a blip about an grade to iOS thirteen and that 470 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 2: it's necessary or you may lose ability to use some 471 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 2: functions on the phone. Now I can't find anything about it. 472 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: Did I misunderstand my tech challenge? Sister has one and 473 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: never updates anything. I don't really kind of confused by 474 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: this question. 475 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: Okay, I was super confused by this question, but I 476 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: got it about three different times, so it's a thing. Okay, 477 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: and here's what the thing is. 478 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the thing? 479 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: If you still have an iPhone five, which, by the way, 480 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: when did the iPhone five come out? Let me see, 481 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: can I guess? 482 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you guess two thousand and twelve. 483 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: You're that's right. Oh whoa wow, two thousand very good. 484 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: This is why she's producer Megan twenty twelve. All right, 485 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: so you're talking, you're rocking a phone that's seven years old. Yeah, 486 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: which is fine. Hey, god bless you almost eight years. 487 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: That's amazing. You have gotten you have worked the system, 488 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: you have gotten your value out of that phone. Yeah. 489 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 2: My dad did the same thing. 490 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: So if you have I have an iPhone five, there 491 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: is a problem on November third, twenty nineteen, if you 492 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: don't update your iOS to the latest, which is iOS 493 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: ten point three point four. So iOS ten you're talking 494 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: two iOS as ago No three. Your GPS your uh, basically, 495 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: you can't get a GPS location anymore, so you can't 496 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: get your correct time anymore, which means app store, iCloud, email, 497 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: and web browsing will not work. So bottom line, if 498 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: you have an iPhone five, update your software to the latest. 499 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: That'll update two which is ten point three point four 500 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: if you want to figure out how to do that. 501 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: I was walking someone through this on Instagram yesterday. She 502 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: was asking me, hey, rich, what's going on with this thing? 503 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: And I actually have to look it up because in 504 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: separate from this question, open your settings app, tap General, 505 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: tap about, Look for the number next to software version. 506 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: It should be ten point three point four. If there's 507 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: a software update, go ahead and do the update. All right, 508 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: good question, because it's one of those things that I'm 509 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of people that have iPhone fives 510 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: out there. I you know, I don't, but. 511 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm I'm still creating my grocery car. 512 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: Oh you are okay? Yeah, just put like twenty five 513 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: so I did. Okay, letting you check out before you 514 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: check out? 515 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: So continue, continue, Let's see watch it like accidentally. 516 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: Or that'd be awesome if you just ordered twenty. 517 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: Five, Like no, it's like bacon. 518 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Well look at that. It looks like it's available now. Okay, 519 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: So here's the question. Have you or anyone in your 520 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: household used Amazon fresh beefore? 521 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: So that's what I'm trying to remember. I think I 522 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: used it for a segment when we ordered flowers that's right. 523 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: So that one time, one time got you in, So 524 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: now you're in. You got groceries awesome. A new bacon, 525 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: A new app is available from Spotify called Spotify Kids. 526 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: And this is just brilliant. I think this is such 527 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: a great idea because my kids are all into music 528 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: and I've wanted to get them. I've signed them up 529 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: for Apple Music on their iPads and the problem with 530 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: that is that I can't control it can request anything. 531 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: They can listen to, you know, songs with swear words 532 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: and you know, just terrible, terrible things, stuff that will 533 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: corrupt them. 534 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 2: No, we don't want that. 535 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: And so now you can have Spotify Kids. It's a 536 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: full app that is one hundred percent curated and it's 537 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: for kids three plus. It's hand All the content is 538 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: there is handpicked by a team of editors and there's 539 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: stuff from Nickelodeon, Disney, Disney Kids, Universal Pictures, Public Service 540 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: in Sweden, book Beat. And the only problem with this 541 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: is that it's only available in Ireland right now. But people, 542 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: I think they're doing a beta test in Ireland and 543 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: they're just going to see how the kids react and 544 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: if they don't grow horns or anything. Weird. They will 545 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: launch it in other places. 546 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: That's really funny. We'll see how that's really funny. 547 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with these things. Wait, can you 548 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: imagine they're like like they just step back from the 549 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: little experiment, like okay, actually, uh, they just start okay 550 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: this time all right, guys, let's not bring this to 551 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: the US. 552 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: But I always wonder like with this, it's like what 553 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: about kids after three? Like why why can't zero? 554 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: And they don't need No, you don't need your kid 555 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: on an iPad zero to three. I mean they are 556 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: on iPads, but you don't need Megan. They're kids, Like 557 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: my kids have a kid, I don't they really want 558 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: them to do anything electronic And like you know, they're still. 559 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 2: The kid's gonna be reading at like eight months. 560 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: Yes, oh yeah, your kid's gonna be talking, walking, You're 561 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: gonna have the growing horns. You go to Ireland and 562 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: all the kids, it's like a scene out of like 563 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. You're like, okay, let's that's just walk backwards. 564 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: What did you do? 565 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: It's not bring it anywhere else? Yeah, I can't wait, 566 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: but uh, anyway, if you live in Ireland, you can 567 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: do it. If you're on Spotify Premium Family Master account holders, 568 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: you can download the app and sign up. But I 569 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: can't wait for that because that will actually probably get 570 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: me back over to Spotify. I have YouTube Music right 571 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: now and Apple Music, which, by the way, has become 572 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: a perfect combination because I use Apple Music in the 573 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: home for my sonos, and then I use YouTube Music 574 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: in the car and sometimes someone's at home playing music 575 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: and it'll stop the stream in other places because you 576 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: can only have one thing at once. Oh so it's 577 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: actually quite normal in this day and age to have 578 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: two streaming services, like two music streaming services, which sounds crazy. 579 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: Craig Cray. This next question comes from Facebook from Danny 580 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 2: He This is a this is an important question. He says, Hey, Rich, 581 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 2: can you post a picture of the my Shake app? 582 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 2: There are too many options and I'm not sure which 583 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: is the correct one. We did a story about well 584 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: shake alerts. 585 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: Yes, so that he is He is right. There are 586 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: so many Okay, so there's three apps to know about. Okay, 587 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: So the number one app that is now publicly available 588 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: in California that has early warning is called my Shake, 589 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: and the logo on that app is really weird. It 590 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: looks like a little star constellation or something. It's really weird, 591 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: of course, go yeah, okay. So it's called my Shake 592 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: and that's the official app for California and it's available 593 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: on the App Store in Google Play. Okay, Now, the 594 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: next one is for La County folks. It's called shake 595 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: Alert LA and that also sends early warnings. Yes, and 596 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: that's the second apps download. Now, the third app that 597 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: has not come out yet. The third app is from 598 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: early Warning Labs dot com. My question is what happens 599 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: if you have all three on your phone and an 600 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: earthquake happens, you get alerts from all them? I'm guessing 601 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: you do, or the Marrier I guess right. 602 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: But the alert it's like, okay, so the okay, the 603 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: one that we were just talking about, the quake alert 604 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: that's supposed to warn you ten seconds before, well, it could. 605 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: Be up to a minute depending on where you are. 606 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: None of these things, and look, there's not a lot 607 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: of experience with these apps, so we still don't have 608 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: a lot of data about how they perform. But the 609 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: reality is there are at least two apps. If you 610 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: live in La there's two apps that you can download 611 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: on your phone right now. That should give you an 612 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: early warning. Do they work every time? Are they perfect? 613 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: We don't know. But the again, the my Shake app 614 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: is for all of California, and then the shake or 615 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: La is available for Los Angeles, and then the Early 616 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: Warning Labs one is going to be available any day now. 617 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: I have been talking to them and it's just any day, 618 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: all right, good questions. You really got me on that one, 619 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: I know, all right. So I love I'm a data nerd. 620 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: I love stats, I love figures. And so Adobe does 621 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: this thing where they analyze the holiday forecasts for spending, 622 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: like and I just love all the stuff that they 623 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: talk about.

That's when I feel like everything 675 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: goes back up to normal price, so it's like the 676 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: worst time to use them. Yeah, and the big trend 677 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: this year will be bops bopsis. Can you guess what 678 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: that stands for?

Yeah, 685 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: this is all predictions from data. They Adobe basically looks 686 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: at receipts that people are using from shopping. They look 687 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: at all the data coming through their retailers to see 688 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 1: what people are buying, right, that makes sense, and then 689 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: they kind of extrapolate and ply algorithms on and stuff. 690 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: But the reason why these stores, by the way, love 691 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: the buy online pick up in store because what do 692 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: you think a lot of people do they buy something 693 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: else while they're there. So like with me, I picked 694 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: up a I think it was a case or something 695 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: at the target and my kid, of course I walked 696 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: out with eight dollars worth of gum and candy just 697 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: from the little checkout stand where I went to pick 698 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: up my own So note to parents, do the pickup 699 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Yeah, so you don't have to 700 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: go into the store. 701 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, seriously, so kids? 702 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: All right, you got one more question here? 703 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: Yes, I have one more. This is from Stephanie. I 704 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: wanted to contact you since I am such a fan 705 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 2: of you on KTLA. I have a Google Pixel three 706 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: XL and I wanted to know what you would recommend 707 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: as far as wireless pods. And then she goes on 708 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: to talk about the AirPods, but she doesn't have an 709 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 2: Apple phone. What product would you recommend I try as 710 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: far as wireless pods, slash buds that would work best? 711 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: Well, we talked about the AirPods. Yeah, and she has 712 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: a Pixel three XCEL, so any of these air works? Yeah, 713 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: any of these. All the earbuds work as long as 714 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: they're Bluetooth with any device. 715 00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 716 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: What you don't get are all the special features. So 717 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: with the Apple ones, I probably wouldn't recommend the AirPods 718 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: Pro because I mean, I guess you could switch between 719 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: the noise canceling and not without your phone. You can 720 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: just squeeze the stem there. But you're paying a premium 721 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: for that. I would probably take a look at the 722 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: Amazon Echo buds because I did not test these because obviously, 723 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: you remember we weren't invited and that whole thing. 724 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: I was gonna feel like because Amazon. 725 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: I should probably get a pair of these to try 726 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: them out. But I but apparently the reviews I'm seeing 727 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: people are liking them, and they're one hundred and thirty dollars. 728 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: I would not buy them at that price. I think 729 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: that you should wait until they go on sale, which 730 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: will be over Black Friday Cyber Monday. Amazon. Amazon likes 731 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: to put their own products at a discount over just randomly. Yeah, 732 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: So what I would do is actually use the website 733 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: Camelcamelcamel dot com. Have you heard of that, Yes, and 734 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: I would pop in you pop in the URL of 735 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: these echo buds from the Amazon page and then you 736 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: just price alert and it will tell you when the 737 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: price goes down, and that way you can buy them 738 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: as soon as you see that. Now, the other way 739 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: to do that is the old fashioned way and just 740 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: let other people do the work and you can just 741 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: search every day Amazon Echo buds deals or just bookmarkt Yeah. Oh, 742 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: that's another way to do yeah, that's true. Never mind 743 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: just bookmarket, Yes, book market and check that every day, 744 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: but we have to check it for other products. Echo 745 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: buds are only sold on Amazon, so you're right, the 746 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: bookmark works. But for other products like an Apple Watch, 747 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: the best one of the best ways of finding deals 748 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: is just to search Apple Watch deals. And here's the 749 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: reason why you can find deals on all these blogger 750 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: posts because bloggers get a little cut of the transaction 751 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: when you buy something that they mention, and so it's 752 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: in their best interest because exactly, and there's like a 753 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: little there's like a little thing that's sent back, and 754 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: it's it's a whole big thing, but like you know, basically, 755 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: so they blog about the deals because people buy those 756 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: deals and then they get a little cut of it, 757 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: and so it works out nicely. So they follow the 758 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: deals for you. So if you search Apple Watch deals 759 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: right now on Google and then tap the news section, 760 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: that's how you'll get the blog posts from reputable blogs. Already, 761 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: The Verge has Apple Watch iPad early Black Friday deals. 762 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: Walmart's Black Friday sales just started. Here are all the 763 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: best deals, and again you can find out what you 764 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: know the best deals are without doing a lot of work. 765 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 1: And so let's see after we did this, so Apple Watch, 766 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the Walmart deal is for twenty 767 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: nine for the series four GPS and cellular Apple Watch, 768 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: which is one hundred dollars off. That's that's awesome. Save 769 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars four twenty nine. I thought it was 770 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: four ninety nine when it came out. Yeah, anyway, but 771 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 1: there you go. It's a pretty good deal, right, and 772 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: you didn't do much, all right, I guess. Well, let's see, 773 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of things before we end the show. 774 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: I'll just do I'll do them quickly. Some sad news, 775 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: Sony is shutting down place station View, So if you 776 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: had their streaming service called PlayStation View, it's going away 777 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: on January thirtieth, twenty twenty. My old producer Vanessa was 778 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: actually a subscriber to that. Oh really, So I think 779 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: she's gonna be really sad because people had PlayStation View 780 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: like her actually really liked it. But apparently they didn't 781 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: have enough subscribers to make it worth it, so they're 782 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: shutting that down. If you have an Apple Music student 783 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: subscription for four ninety nine a month, or you know, 784 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: a student that does you now get Apple TV Plus 785 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 1: for free.

Well, I feel like Dickinson is 790 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: better because it's like Hilly Steinfeld, right, doesn't she appeal 791 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: to the young kids? 792 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? True, true. 793 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: And then finally, Serious XM is coming to Google Assistant. 794 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: And this is something I've been waiting for, but I 795 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: wish it would come to CarPlay. But it's coming to 796 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: Google Assistant, which is cool. So if you have a 797 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: subscription to Serious XM, you'll soon be able to say, h, Google, 798 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 1: play the Beatles channel on Sirius XM and your phone 799 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: will play it without or your your you know, your 800 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: Google Assistant on your phone. Well it's saying Google Nest 801 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: smart speakers and display, so maybe not the phones just yet, 802 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: but you can just ask your Nest to play Serious XM, 803 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: which is great. They've had this, They've had that capability 804 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: on Alexa for a while, so I'm glad it's coming 805 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: to Google Assistant. 806 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 2: You have Serious. 807 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, and I don't, so I actually use 808 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: that with so nos as well. I mean, I like Sirious. 809 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,959 Speaker 1: I think Serious is great for discovering music, really yeah, 810 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: because they're they're doing all the work. When you listen 811 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: to a playlist on Apple Music or on any any playlist, 812 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work to sit through a 813 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: song that you have. No, you don't understand the basis 814 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: of why that song's playing, right, because it's just in 815 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: a playlist. You don't know if it's Halsey's newest song. 816 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: You don't know if it's an old song that they 817 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: just threw in there. You don't know that anything. But 818 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: when you listen to something like Sirius and like The 819 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: Highway or the you know, Hits one, the DJs are 820 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: telling you a little bit about the song before the intro, 821 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: so you're getting that perspective on that song, and they're 822 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: saying like, hey, you love Brett Young, here's the latest 823 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: from Brett Young, and you know, oh, okay, of course 824 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit through this and not change a channel 825 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: because he just told me what this song is all about. Right, Okay, 826 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 1: here's an upcoming new artist that used to write songs 827 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: for Christina Aguilera.
