<v Speaker 1>your tech questions answered. What's going on? I'm Rich Demiro.

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 1>about the stuff that I think you should know about

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>happening in the tech world. Joining me is producer Megan

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>What is up?

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Pay? Hey?

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, you got your new intro. It has been in

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>southern California. It has just been the wildest ride that

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I have ever experienced in this state. Yeah, every day

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a new fire destruction, we have the threat of earthquakes.

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>It is fires, fires plural every day across the state. Yeah,

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>so I ended up. So what happens when there's fires?

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, thoughts and prayers for anyone is

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>associated with this or affected by it, including you know,

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got family members that were right in the line

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of fire and so, believe me, this is very personal

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>because it's real. Like if you're not living in that area,

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you're just like, well, that doesn't.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Really affect My uncle was evacuated yesterday and his family, Yeah,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 2>from Thousand Oaks, right.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean that fire was crazy. That was so close

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to houses, and it's really it's it's just amazing how

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they fight these things, and it's sad the destruction that

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it leaves in its path and how much it costs too,

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>let's not forget about that. And the people, I mean,

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the people have to do this. Like we're sitting here

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>in the newsroom, you know, seeing it happen. There are

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>people out on the front lines that this is like

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:39.919
<v Speaker 1>really really and.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.279
<v Speaker 2>You actually were on somewhat of a front line.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not too well, so so real real quick. I

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was driving to work on Monday morning, and usually what

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>happens when there's fires is our stuff is preempted, at

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>least here in Los Angeles. We do syndicate out and

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we are on those other places, but it's everything

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>just thrown up in right. Yeah, So Monday, I'm driving

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to work and I'm like, you know what, I'm not

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>just gonna like sit around on Monday morning. I want

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to do something. And so I just said, send me

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>a crew and I'll just report from this fire that

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>was in West LA. Because it was so crazy that

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>it was like so.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Closely angle too, because you were like right on sunset

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 2>and the four or five and you could you could

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>see the fire in the distance, and then there's like

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the four or five Freeway, which is a major, you know,

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the most major freeway huge in LA. Right, So that

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>was just absolutely wild.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>So I thought that angle alone was pretty interesting. I

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>knew the area pretty well because I'd lived there for

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>many years. My wife's family lives over there. So it's

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>so funny. I won't go totally into it, you know,

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 1>but the the funniest part of that whole situation was

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that I got I think more phone calls and texts

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>from friends and random people saying it was good to

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>see you out there, and like, people forget that I

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>did start out as like a regular reporter before I

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>did tech news, and I love tech and I'm not

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>going back to that, but I it's like it's just

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like riding a bike, you know, it comes back

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to you and it is there is something really interesting

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>about being out there because I love to talk to

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>people and I love to just tell stories and to

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>help people too. Yeah, and so just hearing how people

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>woke up and what happened and what was going on

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>was really interesting. And I was nowhere near the real

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>like what oura will send you. Yeah, I'll get a

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>little I'll just keep getting a little bit closer. That's

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>actually kind of But one thing I did have a

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 1>chance to really take a deep dive into this week

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 1>are the new AirPods Pro. This was a surprise announcement

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>by Apple, and I was able to get my hands

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>on a pair from Apple, and I've been using them

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>for the past couple of days, and I will tell

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you they did a fantastic job. And don't just chalk

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>this up to me being an Apple fanboy, because as

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not, but I will give credit where

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>credit is due. And I love the original AirPods no

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>matter what. I've tried a lot of headphones. I get it.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Were they the best headphones in the world? No? But

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>did they work really well and kind of serve like

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a really good purpose Like I'll never forget. I had

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 1>mine since day one. Took me a little bit to

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>get my wife on board, but I finally said, look,

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going to the grove. We're gonna buy these things.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>And she had no idea. She just knew she heard

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>me talking about them, and so we ended up getting them.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And the moment that she questioned it is when we

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>got to the checkout, you know, they just check you

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>out like wherever you are in the store. Yeah, and

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the guys like, you know, it was like one hundred

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and seventy eight dollars whatever it was with tax. She's like, wait,

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you start one hundred and seventy eight dollars And I

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, let's use them every day at the gym.

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Defensive but yes, yes, but it's one of these They're

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>going to use it every day, are.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Going to use it, and you're not just gonna use it,

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love it. So AirPods Pro builds upon the

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.239
<v Speaker 1>air pods, they don't replace them. They have a new design.

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>They have active noise cancelation built in, which means they

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>actually listen using a microphone and create a signal that

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>cancels out outside noise. Then they also have something called

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>transparency mode, so you can switch between the two modes.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Either you block out everything or you can hear stuff

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in your music and other people around you. So if

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of like in the office setting, maybe sometimes

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you want to focus. Other times you want to be

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>able to hear your call.

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I listen in on what people are talking about.

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You can use that feature on the iPhone too. What's that?

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>What is that called the listening? Remember we did that

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>little video where you can turn your your iPhone into

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>like a little spider I talk.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>But like, yeah, you could like like listen. I don't know,

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>but yes, I.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Remember that, and uh, the only thing that is kind

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of a bummer. Well, let me just go through the

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>other things on the you got hey Siri, which is

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>actually really cool, by the way, I forgot how awesome

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that feature is because I don't really use it on

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>my iPhone as much. But when you just have the

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>headphones in, you can start to do everything like play

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>music and call people and stuff all wirelessly. Pretty darn

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>col announced messages. So I was at the gym yesterdayd

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>a little gym test with these sounded great. When I

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>put these things in and I pressed the noise transfer canceling,

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it was I've never had a workout like that where

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you're just immersed in your music and you don't hear anything.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Jim should not play music. Yeah, what's

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the point. Everyone has their own music. I don't less

0:05:59.080 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they like music.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>DJ DJ and Jay, Well it's not a thing.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think that's the thing if you have

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a class, I get yeah on the treadmill, Like I

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>don't need your music playing with my music. So anyway,

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>so those canceled that out. That was really cool. The

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>other thing that it did is it it announces your messages.

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>So I got a couple of texts while I was

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>working out, and normally that would kind of fumble you

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>up and you kind of look at your phone and

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>distract you. It just read them right to me.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Which is so the regular AirPods don't do that.

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they may now the new ones. I think

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the new ones do. Okay. There's there's the original AirPods,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>there's the air pods like two or whatever, and then

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>there's now AirPods pro got it, Okay, So I think

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the two, the ones with Hay Siri, the original, second,

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>original ones, those do that. I think I'm pretty sure

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>they do. And then they also have this thing called

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the ear tip fit test, so you put them in

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>your ear and you're always wondering are these in right?

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Are they seated in too much? Are they not in enough?

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It will use like some kind of weird algorithm and

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it'll play a little song in your head and tell

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you if it's fitted right, which's also really cool. So

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're not using the right there's three different sides

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of silicone earbuds. If you're not using those or tips,

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I should say, it'll say, like you know, switch to

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>a different size.

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh interesting, Wait, so it comes with three different sizes.

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so small, medium, large, medium, fits ninety nine percent

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of people. Okay, two hundred and fifty dollars, which I

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>know sounds expensive, but let me give you the price breakdown.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>The normal air pods are one fifty nine. If you

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>want them with a wireless case, they're two hundred. So

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>these being two fifty is really only fifty dollars more

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>because they come with a wireless charging case. Right, So

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>do you get them? Do you upgrade? Do you get

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>them if you want the noise cancelation feature? Yes, no brainer.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>For me traveling a lot, I don't have to pack

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>my giant headphones anymore. That's gonna be awesome. I think

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that for someone like me who hates the way that

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>ear pods or earbuds kind of seal out your ear,

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.559
<v Speaker 1>I think these are perfect. They they work really well.

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>You mean the look, no, no, no, the way it

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>feels you feel like you're underwater. It's like, I don't know,

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it just feels really weird. Things that steal out, like

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>AirPods don't seal out your ears. AirPods pro do.

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Got it. See, I don't know if I like that personally.

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that either, But these are fine. I

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>have no problem with them.

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And then the only other thing that's kind of weird

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>is I don't like it used to be a tap

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to like change songs and stuff. This is you have

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to squeeze the stem on the side, which is just

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit complicated and not as easy as tapping.

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So there's the air pods review. If you have questions

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>for me, you can find me on Twitter at rich Dmurrol.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>air pods pro Megan, let's go with the ones.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>First question of the day comes from Brenda. I love

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 2>this question because I feel like we haven't talked about

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>next door. But anyways, Brenda says she got a letter

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in the mail about a neighborhood site that you can join,

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and it's called nextdoor neighbor dot com. Okay, and I

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>can't hear myself.

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't know why oh sorry, start from me,

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 1>all right.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>So our first question comes from Brenda, and it's about

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>nextdoor next Door, the website. She asks, Hi, Rich, I

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 2>got a letter in the mail about a neighborhood site

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that you can join, and it's called nextdoor dot com,

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and I was wondering if you'd heard anything about this

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 2>type of website and if it's worth signing into.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>So I have heard of Nextdoor. I've done stories on them.

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>We actually interviewed I think I don't know if it

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>was the founder or the CMO or someone. So I

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>was on it for a while. I totally deleted my account,

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.199
<v Speaker 1>not just deleted the app. I actually deleted my account,

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'll tell you why. I I'm not sure of

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the value of nextdoor. Now, maybe it depends on your neighborhood.

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>But in my neighborhood, it was a lot of suspicion,

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of accusations, a lot of stuff that I

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't necessarily want to get involved in. It wasn't, hey, neighbor,

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>here's what we're doing. We're having a block party. And

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's some of that on there. But what

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I saw, the alerts that I was getting and the

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff that I saw was generally trashy, negative, negative, didn't

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>need and it didn't help me with the way I

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>live in my neighborhood. Now. I am sure there are

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>some amazing communities on Nextdoor. I'm just telling you my

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>experience and why I deleted the app, and why I

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>don't recommend the app to people because I don't feel

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>like they're delivering on the mission that they set out

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to do, which is amazing if you think about it.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Connect neighbors in your neighborhood great, But to be honest,

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the way I've connected with my neighbors is face to face.

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I know my neighbor's next door, I know them across

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the street. I've got their phone numbers. I borrowed my

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>neighbor's chairs. The other day, my neighbor two neighbors in

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>a week, asked me if they can access video for

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>my cameras at my house because things happened in the

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood and they wanted to see the camera footage. Oh interesting,

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>which is so crazy. I mean, this is the world

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>we live in now, So I don't recommend next door.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 1>If you want something that is telling you about actual

0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>crime in your neighborhood, I do love Citizen, and it's

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 1>scary and it's scary to see what's happening in your neighborhood.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think Citizen is killing it when it comes

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to actual, accurate, accurate information.

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, next door. I actually got a job through next door.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I like got a pet sitting job like a year ago.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Like my mom knew someone who posted like I need

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 2>someone to watch my dogs for a weekend, and then

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 2>she like sent her my phone number and then I whatever.

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>So yes, there are some benefits. And then also I've

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>seen a lot of strange like fighting between neighbors about

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 2>like well well that's you know, that's a racist thing

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 2>or what you know, and it gets it goes in

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 2>a negative direction.

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>It gets very it gets very negative, very fast. Yeah,

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't want to be a part of that.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So so anyway, that's your answer about nextdoor, And yes,

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I've gotten a lot of letters in my mailbox where

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>people I think what happens is you like when someone

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>signs up in your neighborhood, you have the option to

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 1>send out like a bunch of letters to other people

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in your neighborhood, like the next door does it on

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>there on your behalf Oh, so I just throw them

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 1>in the trash.

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>There's also a Twitter that makes fun of a lot

0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of crazy.

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I am subscribed to Funny. It's so funny, best of Nextdoor.

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's called all right, let's talk about HBO Max.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>There is a new streaming service every single day at

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>this point, and HBO or it seems that way, HBO

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Max is the newest one. And I'm a little sad

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>that I was not invited to the unveiling Megan, which

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 1>was in Burbank, California, at the Warner Brothers lot. Excuse me, hello,

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that's really mean. Yeah, so it is. HBO Max actually

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>sounds really good. But how many streaming services can we

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.719
<v Speaker 1>possibly have and keep manage of and sign up for it?

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's crazy, but let me give you

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the quick of it. So it launches in May of

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, so you've still got a while before you

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>can actually subscribe to this. It's going to be available

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to customers for fifteen bucks a month, and they think

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have fifty million subscribers by the end

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>of twenty so within five years. So at launch at

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and T, which owns all these properties, is going to

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>offer HBO Max to the ten million HBO subscribers on

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>HBO distribution platforms and nodittional charts. What does that mean?

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. Somehow, if you have AT and

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>T you might get HBO Max. HBO now direct build

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>users who subscribe through HBO noow dot com will also

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.839
<v Speaker 1>have access to HBO Max. That's also confused. What does

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.959
<v Speaker 1>that mean? Yeah? AT and T customers on premium video,

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 1>mobile and broadband services will get HBO Max at no

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>additional charts. So who has to pay for this? Sounds

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>like everyone gets it for free?

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm confused, so confused.

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You know who loses in this whole thing? They say,

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>we're in active discussions with our distributors, which is the

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 1>cable companies who lose out in this whole which I

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>have no That's fine with me because cable companies have

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>done nothing nice in twenty five years, so it's fine

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>they can lose out right, but I'm not crying for them.

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>So here's what you get, HBO Max ten thousand hours

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of premium content, including stuff from Warner Brothers, New Line, DC, CNN, TNT, TBS,

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>True TV, Turner classics Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchy Roll,

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, and more. Okay, so it's gonna

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>have a bunch of original programming. Let's see House of

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dragon, a new original program, ten episodes straight to

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>series order, Game of Thrones prequel. You watch Game of Thrones, right,

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>so immediately all those people are gonna want this. Okay,

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>South Park is going to be on there. Rick and Morty,

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 1>the OC Do you ever watch that?

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I watched a couple of seasons, yes.

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Aquatine, do you Yeah, of course, Looney Tunes, Hannah Barbera,

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>eighteen hundred films, including The Matrix, Lord of the Rings,

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>The Hobbit, Gremlins, Lego, every DC film from the last decade, Aquaman, Joker,

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>every Batman and super Man movie from the last forty years.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>So they're really trying to compete. It sounds like with Disney.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Plus and Netflix.

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>But what's confusing to me is just that there's HBO go. Yeah,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>this is it's and so I feel like they almost

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 2>have to like rebrand get rid of HBO go yeah,

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>just exactly.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>But then okay, like this is HBO, HBO Max. Okay,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so here's HBO. Oh is the channel. HBO go is

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the mobile version of people for people who subscribe to

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the channel. Yes, that's what I HBO now is. For

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>people who only subscribe to the mobile version of HBO,

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a channel on because they don't have cable.

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>HBO Max is now this new streaming service. So it's

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>really convoluted. But all you need to know fifteen bucks

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>a month. Definitely some compelling stuff, but it sounds like

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are going to get it for

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>free if they have some sort of AT and T products.

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Got it?

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Cool? Okay. This next question comes from Christina, and she's

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>trying to get internet access for her mother, who lives

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>in a rural area. She writes, my mother recently moved

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>from El Segundo to an agricultural area in Valley Center.

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 2>She used to have Spectrum for her internet connection. She

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want cable TV, just access to Wi Fi for

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>her cell phone and then using her desktop computer and

0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a smart TV, and she's having She's struggling trying to

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 2>find something in the area. There are some satellite services

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>like Viasat that offer internet connection, but their speeds are

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 2>incredibly low and cost is very high. Is there another

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>way for my mom to get access to the internet.

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 2>So she lives in Valley.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Center, Well, I think she nailed it with the speeds

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>are really slow and the price is really high on satellite,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>So just throw that out the window. That's not gonna work.

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>That's only like last ditch effort, like if you can't

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 1>get Internet any other way. So I'll recommend a few websites.

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's available in her area, but there's

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>got to be something, okay, So I'll recommend a couple websites.

0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Check out high Speed Internet dot Com is one of them.

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Type in your zip code and you can see what's available.

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>What area does she say she lives in.

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>She lives in Valley Center.

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Vali Center, California. Okay, I would assumed. So that is uh,

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>let's see nine two eight two nine two eight two.

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>So I just did a quick search on high Speed

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Internet dot Com and it says that AT and T

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>is there with fiber connection as well as Cox Communications

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>with a three hundred megabit per second connection Mediacom as well,

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>So she's got three solid providers right there now. AT

0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and T is not as fast, but it looks like

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Cox is going to be the fastest for her, so

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>check it out. The other one is Allconnect dot com

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And again I'm gonna put in that same zip code.

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And these are just ways of comparing what's available in

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>your area. It may surface some stuff that you didn't know.

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 1>But again they say that same thing at and T

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Mediacom and the satellite, so they did not get Cox,

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know, maybe it's only available in certain areas.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.919
<v Speaker 1>There the other thing I would look at, and this

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.040
<v Speaker 1>is new and this may actually be the best case

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>scenario for her mom, because it doesn't sound like she

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.199
<v Speaker 1>needs a whole bunch. But T Mobile just opened up

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 1>home internet to everyone, and so now you can get

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 1>a little device that you put outside your window or

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 1>near your window or whatever and use it for internet

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 1>for your whole house. And it's fifty bucks a month

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>for unlimited everything and no annual contracts, no data caps,

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>no hidden fees, no price hikes, and no hardware costs

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars a month. And that might be the easiest

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>way because it's if she has T Mobile where she

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 1>lives Boom, She's got T Mobile high speed Internet at

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>home right now that's working on T mobiles LTE network.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>The idea is that when they get five G, you'll

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to get five G. And that is really

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>my thesis here is that right now we're in a

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 1>very changing time when it comes to home internet because

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of years, when five G comes along

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>in a big way, all this is going to be

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 1>shaken up. Now the five G providers are owned by

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the wired providers, but still it's still

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>going to cause it's going to help. I think there's

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 1>some help, you know, at least at the beginning. Yeah,

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, good question. Well this is really cool. Grocery

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:54.480
<v Speaker 1>delivery is now a free Prime member perk. So if

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you remember in the past, Amazon had something called Amazon Fresh,

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>which I was an early subscriber to back in the day,

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like literally I was like day one subscriber in West

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>LA when I when they launched it, I was a subscriber.

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this is so cool. You can get

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.680
<v Speaker 1>your groceries delivered. But the downside that it was fifteen

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars a month. I think they gave me a certain

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>amount of months for free, maybe it was three, and

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>so we used it and then we kind of subscribed

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>for a while. Because we thought it was worth it,

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and then we ended up getting rid of it, and

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>then we ended up starting to use Amazon Prime now,

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 1>which kind of started to have a lot of groceries

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>for free. So we were like, oh, I see what

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they're doing here. Well, long story short, now Amazon Fresh

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 1>is totally free if you're a Prime member. So now

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you can get all kinds of groceries delivered to your

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>house from Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods, And it's pretty amazing.

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>We've done this in the past.

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean the prices. I'm just looking at Amazon Fresh, like,

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>for instance, a bunch of bananas for a dollar.

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>How many five? Yeah, that's twenty cents of bana, which

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 1>is basically a Trader Joe's price, or like nineteen cents,

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>but I get I'm banas.

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.719
<v Speaker 2>To bring it to me, that's yeah.

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>So how much are those what or bananas?

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh? A dollar fifty for a bunch? Yeah? For five

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 2>order then yeah, please, let's see how long it'll take.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's the catch. And this sounds too good to

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>be true, because I did. I did some comparison. I

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.919
<v Speaker 1>looked at what Ralph's is doing, and I looked at

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 1>some of these other grocery store deliveries, and they're charging

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Even Walmart is charging like almost I think

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it's one hundred bucks a year for their grocery delivery service.

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But now that Amazon's doing it for free, it's not

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.240
<v Speaker 1>really free. I mean, you have to be a Prime member,

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but enough people are that is it's kind of like, okay, well,

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.239
<v Speaker 1>here's the catch. The catch is that if you have

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 1>not tried Fresh in the past, you can't immediately get

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 1>access to it because they know that everyone's just gonna

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh yeah, one in, So you have to

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.360
<v Speaker 1>sign up on a waiting list. So for me, for instance,

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.440
<v Speaker 1>when I go to Fresh, it's immediately available.

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 2>How do I know? Sorry?

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Does it just you go to Amazon dot com slash Fresh.

0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just on the app. Oh you're on the app. Okay,

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so try to order something and see what it says.

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 1>So say add to cart and just check out and

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>see if it lets you check out.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Sorry, so.

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You let me know. But that's the only catch. And

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually had to clarify that with Amazon spokespeople because

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>they wrote their press release in a way that says

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you can request an invitation and we'll let you know

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're able to shop. Now, I think it's to

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 1>say you have to do that.

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, it says in like fine print, like add thirty dollars.

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>If thirty dollars of items from Amazon Fresh for free.

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>To liver, okay, we keep so do that add like

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty five of those things having your cart. I'm curious because, yeah,

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the minimum for delivery for free is thirty five dollars. Oh,

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>but for access, what Amazon's saying is that you still

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>need to request access if you haven't used it in

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the past, so you never know anyway. Ok just try

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to see if that works. Just go on Amazon dot

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 1>com slash fresh and see if it works.

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Love that though, Yeah, Okay. This next question comes from

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Paula about the iPhone five s I thought I heard

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a blip about an grade to iOS thirteen and that

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 2>it's necessary or you may lose ability to use some

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.679
<v Speaker 2>functions on the phone. Now I can't find anything about it.

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Did I misunderstand my tech challenge? Sister has one and

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 2>never updates anything. I don't really kind of confused by

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>this question.

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I was super confused by this question, but I

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>got it about three different times, so it's a thing. Okay,

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and here's what the thing is.

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what's the thing?

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 1>If you still have an iPhone five, which, by the way,

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>when did the iPhone five come out? Let me see,

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>can I guess?

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you guess two thousand and twelve.

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You're that's right. Oh whoa wow, two thousand very good.

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>This is why she's producer Megan twenty twelve. All right,

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>so you're talking, you're rocking a phone that's seven years old. Yeah,

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>which is fine. Hey, god bless you almost eight years.

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. You have gotten you have worked the system,

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you have gotten your value out of that phone. Yeah.

0:22:57.560 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 2>My dad did the same thing.

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>So if you have I have an iPhone five, there

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>is a problem on November third, twenty nineteen, if you

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>don't update your iOS to the latest, which is iOS

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 1>ten point three point four. So iOS ten you're talking

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>two iOS as ago No three. Your GPS your uh, basically,

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't get a GPS location anymore, so you can't

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 1>get your correct time anymore, which means app store, iCloud, email,

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:30.479
<v Speaker 1>and web browsing will not work. So bottom line, if

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you have an iPhone five, update your software to the latest.

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>That'll update two which is ten point three point four

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 1>if you want to figure out how to do that.

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I was walking someone through this on Instagram yesterday. She

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 1>was asking me, hey, rich, what's going on with this thing?

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>And I actually have to look it up because in

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>separate from this question, open your settings app, tap General,

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>tap about, Look for the number next to software version.

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 1>It should be ten point three point four. If there's

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a software update, go ahead and do the update. All right,

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 1>good question, because it's one of those things that I'm

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>sure there's a lot of people that have iPhone fives

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 1>out there. I you know, I don't, but.

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I'm I'm still creating my grocery car.

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh you are okay? Yeah, just put like twenty five

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>so I did. Okay, letting you check out before you

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 1>check out?

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 2>So continue, continue, Let's see watch it like accidentally.

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Or that'd be awesome if you just ordered twenty.

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Five, Like no, it's like bacon.

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Well look at that. It looks like it's available now. Okay,

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.360
<v Speaker 1>So here's the question. Have you or anyone in your

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:30.440
<v Speaker 1>household used Amazon fresh beefore?

0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I'm trying to remember. I think I

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 2>used it for a segment when we ordered flowers that's right.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So that one time, one time got you in, So

0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:43.919
<v Speaker 1>now you're in. You got groceries awesome. A new bacon,

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 1>A new app is available from Spotify called Spotify Kids.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 1>And this is just brilliant. I think this is such

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>a great idea because my kids are all into music

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and I've wanted to get them. I've signed them up

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>for Apple Music on their iPads and the problem with

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that is that I can't control it can request anything.

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>They can listen to, you know, songs with swear words

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just terrible, terrible things, stuff that will

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:10.640
<v Speaker 1>corrupt them.

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:11.719
<v Speaker 2>No, we don't want that.

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>And so now you can have Spotify Kids. It's a

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:19.240
<v Speaker 1>full app that is one hundred percent curated and it's

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>for kids three plus. It's hand All the content is

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>there is handpicked by a team of editors and there's

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff from Nickelodeon, Disney, Disney Kids, Universal Pictures, Public Service

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in Sweden, book Beat. And the only problem with this

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>is that it's only available in Ireland right now. But people,

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I think they're doing a beta test in Ireland and

0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to see how the kids react and

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>if they don't grow horns or anything. Weird. They will

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:46.880
<v Speaker 1>launch it in other places.

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 2>That's really funny. We'll see how that's really funny.

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens with these things. Wait, can you

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 1>imagine they're like like they just step back from the

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>little experiment, like okay, actually, uh, they just start okay

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 1>this time all right, guys, let's not bring this to

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>the US.

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 2>But I always wonder like with this, it's like what

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.440
<v Speaker 2>about kids after three? Like why why can't zero?

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:10.360
<v Speaker 1>And they don't need No, you don't need your kid

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 1>on an iPad zero to three. I mean they are

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on iPads, but you don't need Megan. They're kids, Like

0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>my kids have a kid, I don't they really want

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>them to do anything electronic And like you know, they're still.

0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:21.919
<v Speaker 2>The kid's gonna be reading at like eight months.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, oh yeah, your kid's gonna be talking, walking, You're

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna have the growing horns. You go to Ireland and

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:29.680
<v Speaker 1>all the kids, it's like a scene out of like

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Game of Thrones. You're like, okay, let's that's just walk backwards.

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:35.399
<v Speaker 2>What did you do?

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not bring it anywhere else? Yeah, I can't wait,

0:26:38.200 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 1>but uh, anyway, if you live in Ireland, you can

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 1>do it. If you're on Spotify Premium Family Master account holders,

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you can download the app and sign up. But I

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 1>can't wait for that because that will actually probably get

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.119
<v Speaker 1>me back over to Spotify. I have YouTube Music right

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.400
<v Speaker 1>now and Apple Music, which, by the way, has become

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a perfect combination because I use Apple Music in the

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 1>home for my sonos, and then I use YouTube Music

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>in the car and sometimes someone's at home playing music

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and it'll stop the stream in other places because you

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>can only have one thing at once. Oh so it's

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>actually quite normal in this day and age to have

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>two streaming services, like two music streaming services, which sounds crazy.

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Craig Cray. This next question comes from Facebook from Danny

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.400
<v Speaker 2>He This is a this is an important question. He says, Hey, Rich,

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>can you post a picture of the my Shake app?

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>There are too many options and I'm not sure which

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 2>is the correct one. We did a story about well

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 2>shake alerts.

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so that he is He is right. There are

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:46.640
<v Speaker 1>so many Okay, so there's three apps to know about. Okay,

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>So the number one app that is now publicly available

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in California that has early warning is called my Shake,

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 1>and the logo on that app is really weird. It

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>looks like a little star constellation or something. It's really weird,

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, go yeah, okay. So it's called my Shake

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:08.159
<v Speaker 1>and that's the official app for California and it's available

0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 1>on the App Store in Google Play. Okay, Now, the

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 1>next one is for La County folks. It's called shake

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Alert LA and that also sends early warnings. Yes, and

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>that's the second apps download. Now, the third app that

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>has not come out yet. The third app is from

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:31.359
<v Speaker 1>early Warning Labs dot com. My question is what happens

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:33.680
<v Speaker 1>if you have all three on your phone and an

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>earthquake happens, you get alerts from all them? I'm guessing

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you do, or the Marrier I guess right.

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 2>But the alert it's like, okay, so the okay, the

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 2>one that we were just talking about, the quake alert

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that's supposed to warn you ten seconds before, well, it could.

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Be up to a minute depending on where you are.

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 1>None of these things, and look, there's not a lot

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>of experience with these apps, so we still don't have

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of data about how they perform. But the

0:28:56.760 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 1>reality is there are at least two apps. If you

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 1>live in La there's two apps that you can download

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>on your phone right now. That should give you an

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 1>early warning. Do they work every time? Are they perfect?

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>We don't know. But the again, the my Shake app

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is for all of California, and then the shake or

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 1>La is available for Los Angeles, and then the Early

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Warning Labs one is going to be available any day now.

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I have been talking to them and it's just any day,

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>all right, good questions. You really got me on that one,

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, all right. So I love I'm a data nerd.

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I love stats, I love figures. And so Adobe does

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing where they analyze the holiday forecasts for spending,

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like and I just love all the stuff that they

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about. So I'm just going to go through some

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of that, Okay. So you know, we've got a lot

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of holiday shopping coming up. Cyber Monday is going to

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be the biggest online shopping day nine point four billion spent,

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>followed by Black Friday seven point five billion, and then

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving four point four billion. The Golden Hours of Retail

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>will be on Cyber Monday from seven to eleven pm Pacific.

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:07.360
<v Speaker 1>That will bring in thirty percent of Cyber Monday's revenue. Now,

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:11.479
<v Speaker 1>this year, there's only twenty two days between Cyber Monday

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and Christmas, which is six days less than last year,

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>which means if you're one of those people that scrambles

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to the last day, you're gonna be scrambling behind this year.

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Mcbonnacle.

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that your mom? Yeah, she scrambles at the end.

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>My mom and I were mom. We went to the

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>mall one time on I think it was Christmas Eve,

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:31.959
<v Speaker 1>and it was really bad, like we were stuck in traffic.

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 1>We were actually really angry at the end at ourselves.

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know ahead of yeah get now. I did

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this last year because I bought one of the toys

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in there. It turned out to be a major pooper.

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>It was not trendy, and I got it because I

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my gosh, yeah, just the kids. It's

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>like no one bought it, and so did your kids.

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 1>They thought it was cool. They played for it about

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>one second. It was like this little doll that like

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of gets mad and goes and has like a

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>little conniption.

0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I totally remember, like you posted a video about today.

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, and it totally did not hit. And so

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was being cool by like being like,

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be the parent that's looking for

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.880

<v Speaker 1>well not do anything another Christmas.

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like post Christmas gifts.

0:32:07.960 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is, it really is, because it's when people

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>use their gift cards. That's when I feel like everything

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>goes back up to normal price, so it's like the

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>worst time to use them. Yeah, and the big trend

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>this year will be bops bopsis. Can you guess what

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that stands for? Bopsis bop boppis bopis uh no, buy

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>online pick up in store. It's all the retailers are

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>really pushing right now.

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And so like, I mean, honestly, do these companies buy

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 2>these spots like to say, like these I have the

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 2>most trendy year?

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no no no, this is all data. Yeah,

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this is all predictions from data. They Adobe basically looks

0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>at receipts that people are using from shopping. They look

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>at all the data coming through their retailers to see

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:54.479
<v Speaker 1>what people are buying, right, that makes sense, and then

0:32:54.480 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 1>they kind of extrapolate and ply algorithms on and stuff.

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 1>But the reason why these stores, by the way, love

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the buy online pick up in store because what do

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you think a lot of people do they buy something

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>else while they're there. So like with me, I picked

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 1>up a I think it was a case or something

0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 1>at the target and my kid, of course I walked

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:11.560
<v Speaker 1>out with eight dollars worth of gum and candy just

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 1>from the little checkout stand where I went to pick

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 1>up my own So note to parents, do the pickup

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 1>in the parking lot. Yeah, so you don't have to

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>go into the store.

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, seriously, so kids?

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, you got one more question here?

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I have one more. This is from Stephanie. I

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted to contact you since I am such a fan

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 2>of you on KTLA. I have a Google Pixel three

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 2>XL and I wanted to know what you would recommend

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 2>as far as wireless pods. And then she goes on

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the AirPods, but she doesn't have an

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Apple phone. What product would you recommend I try as

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 2>far as wireless pods, slash buds that would work best?

0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we talked about the AirPods. Yeah, and she has

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a Pixel three XCEL, so any of these air works? Yeah,

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 1>any of these. All the earbuds work as long as

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 1>they're Bluetooth with any device.

0:33:58.480 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.480
<v Speaker 1>What you don't get are all the special features. So

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Apple ones, I probably wouldn't recommend the AirPods

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Pro because I mean, I guess you could switch between

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the noise canceling and not without your phone. You can

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 1>just squeeze the stem there. But you're paying a premium

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 1>for that. I would probably take a look at the

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Echo buds because I did not test these because obviously,

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you remember we weren't invited and that whole thing.

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna feel like because Amazon.

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I should probably get a pair of these to try

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 1>them out. But I but apparently the reviews I'm seeing

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>people are liking them, and they're one hundred and thirty dollars.

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I would not buy them at that price. I think

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that you should wait until they go on sale, which

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 1>will be over Black Friday Cyber Monday. Amazon. Amazon likes

0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to put their own products at a discount over just randomly. Yeah,

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 1>So what I would do is actually use the website

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Camelcamelcamel dot com. Have you heard of that, Yes, and

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I would pop in you pop in the URL of

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 1>these echo buds from the Amazon page and then you

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>just price alert and it will tell you when the

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>price goes down, and that way you can buy them

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:06.839
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you see that. Now, the other way

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:09.759
<v Speaker 1>to do that is the old fashioned way and just

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 1>let other people do the work and you can just

0:35:11.520 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>search every day Amazon Echo buds deals or just bookmarkt Yeah. Oh,

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 1>that's another way to do yeah, that's true. Never mind

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>just bookmarket, Yes, book market and check that every day,

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:25.760
<v Speaker 1>but we have to check it for other products. Echo

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>buds are only sold on Amazon, so you're right, the

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>bookmark works. But for other products like an Apple Watch,

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>the best one of the best ways of finding deals

0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is just to search Apple Watch deals. And here's the

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:38.920
<v Speaker 1>reason why you can find deals on all these blogger

0:35:38.960 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 1>posts because bloggers get a little cut of the transaction

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 1>when you buy something that they mention, and so it's

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 1>in their best interest because exactly, and there's like a

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 1>little there's like a little thing that's sent back, and

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a whole big thing, but like you know, basically,

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 1>so they blog about the deals because people buy those

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 1>deals and then they get a little cut of it,

0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and so it works out nicely. So they follow the

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 1>deals for you. So if you search Apple Watch deals

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 1>right now on Google and then tap the news section,

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that's how you'll get the blog posts from reputable blogs. Already,

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>The Verge has Apple Watch iPad early Black Friday deals.

0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Walmart's Black Friday sales just started. Here are all the

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 1>best deals, and again you can find out what you

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:26.240
<v Speaker 1>know the best deals are without doing a lot of work.

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:29.320
<v Speaker 1>And so let's see after we did this, so Apple Watch,

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what the Walmart deal is for twenty

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 1>nine for the series four GPS and cellular Apple Watch,

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>which is one hundred dollars off. That's that's awesome. Save

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:45.200
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars four twenty nine. I thought it was

0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.640
<v Speaker 1>four ninety nine when it came out. Yeah, anyway, but

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:50.800
<v Speaker 1>there you go. It's a pretty good deal, right, and

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.759
<v Speaker 1>you didn't do much, all right, I guess. Well, let's see,

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got a couple of things before we end the show.

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll just do I'll do them quickly. Some sad news,

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Sony is shutting down place station View, So if you

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.720
<v Speaker 1>had their streaming service called PlayStation View, it's going away

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:08.279
<v Speaker 1>on January thirtieth, twenty twenty. My old producer Vanessa was

0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.400
<v Speaker 1>actually a subscriber to that. Oh really, So I think

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:12.799
<v Speaker 1>she's gonna be really sad because people had PlayStation View

0:37:12.840 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 1>like her actually really liked it. But apparently they didn't

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:17.960
<v Speaker 1>have enough subscribers to make it worth it, so they're

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.240
<v Speaker 1>shutting that down. If you have an Apple Music student

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 1>subscription for four ninety nine a month, or you know,

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a student that does you now get Apple TV Plus

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:29.439
<v Speaker 1>for free. So that's cool. So tell your student don't

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 1>sign up for Apple TV Plus to watch Dickinson, they

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:34.239
<v Speaker 1>can just get it for free.

0:37:34.360 --> 0:37:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Or the Morning Show.

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Or The Morning Show. Well, I feel like Dickinson is

0:37:37.080 --> 0:37:40.040
<v Speaker 1>better because it's like Hilly Steinfeld, right, doesn't she appeal

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to the young kids?

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? True, true.

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 1>And then finally, Serious XM is coming to Google Assistant.

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is something I've been waiting for, but I

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.200
<v Speaker 1>wish it would come to CarPlay. But it's coming to

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Google Assistant, which is cool. So if you have a

0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>subscription to Serious XM, you'll soon be able to say, h, Google,

0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>play the Beatles channel on Sirius XM and your phone

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>will play it without or your your you know, your

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Google Assistant on your phone. Well it's saying Google Nest

0:38:10.160 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>smart speakers and display, so maybe not the phones just yet,

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 1>but you can just ask your Nest to play Serious XM,

0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>which is great. They've had this, They've had that capability

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.319
<v Speaker 1>on Alexa for a while, so I'm glad it's coming

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to Google Assistant.

0:38:23.160 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 2>You have Serious.

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I do, and I don't, so I actually use

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that with so nos as well. I mean, I like Sirious.

0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:35.959
<v Speaker 1>I think Serious is great for discovering music, really yeah,

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>because they're they're doing all the work. When you listen

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to a playlist on Apple Music or on any any playlist,

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it takes a lot of work to sit through a

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:48.200
<v Speaker 1>song that you have. No, you don't understand the basis

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of why that song's playing, right, because it's just in

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a playlist. You don't know if it's Halsey's newest song.

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't know if it's an old song that they

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 1>just threw in there. You don't know that anything. But

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:01.040
<v Speaker 1>when you listen to something like Sirius and like The

0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Highway or the you know, Hits one, the DJs are

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>telling you a little bit about the song before the intro,

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>so you're getting that perspective on that song, and they're

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.800
<v Speaker 1>saying like, hey, you love Brett Young, here's the latest

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:15.839
<v Speaker 1>from Brett Young, and you know, oh, okay, of course

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna sit through this and not change a channel

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:20.440
<v Speaker 1>because he just told me what this song is all about. Right, Okay,

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.240
<v Speaker 1>here's an upcoming new artist that used to write songs

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:26.319
<v Speaker 1>for Christina Aguilera. Now she's on her own and now

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be like hits one, any of them and

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 1>it hits one is like their main got it. But

0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying like in general, you get some perspective,

0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's why DJ's you know, I've always loved radio

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and I love streaming, but like the radio just gives

0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit more, you know, because you're getting

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that basis. Yeah, So anyway, that's coming soon. It's rolling

0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:47.040
