This is 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.239 Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk about this 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.080 stuff I think you need to know about happening in 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.680 the tech world. I'm the reporter at KTLA TV in 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.560 Los Angeles, and joining me as always is producer Megan. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.599 Hello, Howdy, my. 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.280 Trustee sidekick who has a new way of introing herself 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.280 every day like this.

Is that 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:51.159 what's happening? 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:51.640 Nope? 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.080 No, just just like that. 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.200 Look sometimes it's just the vibe. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.760 Okay, So you know that I have been struggling. We're 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.240 talking about the Pixel. You know, I been struggling all 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.319 week because I got the Pixel and I have the 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.280 iPhone and I'm really struggling on which one to make 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.880 my device the next year, I know, and I keep 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.520 going back and forth every day. Like some days, I'm like, oh, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.319 the Pixel that it's so great. It's it's yeah, it's Google, 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.120 it's so googly. It lets you choose your to fall apply. 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:20.840 And then I go back to the iPhone. I'm like, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.520 but everything works so nicely. And iPhone works with my watch, 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.640 it works with my computer. So I don't know every 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.840 I was literally driving to the Apple store yesterday to 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.440 buy you know, so I get these review units from 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.040 the companies that I can keep for a little bit 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.240 of time. But if I really want, you know, the 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.399 phone for me, I go out and buy it. And 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.680 so I have the devices, but they're not mine, right, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.000 And so this is where it comes in. Like every 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.360 day I'm just like, oh, maybe I just buy the 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.560 Pixel thousand bucks so much cheaper than the iPhone, you know, 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:48.360 fifteen hundred. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.800 So I don't know, I but you've bought every iPhone 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.440 that it has ever been, Yeah, right, so it would 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.760 be kind of crazy for you to not buy this iPhone, rightly. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.680 Did I buy the se I don't think I did. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.680 The iPhone that was a little one that was like 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:04.600 the little tiny one. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:05.559 I think that doesn't really count. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.240 But my old phone was kind of like that, like 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.000 I remember it was. I think it was the iPhone 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.799 five before what was the one? I don't know, they 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.600 changed the design, but it was basically like the se was. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.520 The Okay, well, I think you need to get the 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:17.200 new iPhone. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.880 That's my that's your I know, that's your vote, and. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.000 Then one day you can put them all in like 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.079 a special like museum in your house. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.880 I know that would be cool. Room. Well, let's start today. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.320 I'll give you some more of my thoughts on the 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.200 Pixel four and using it, but let's start today with 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.640 something that I find fascinating and I love that this 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.080 is happening. It's good for consumers. Apple TV Plus is 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.959 or the I should say Apple TV app is coming, 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.359 or let me just start over. Apple TV app is 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.520 now available on the fire TV stick and the Fire 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.520 TV Stick four K, which is a huge deal because 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.359 I mean, I guess it's not that big of a 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.000 deal anymore, but it's still kind of nice to see 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.240 that if you have and a fire stick, you can 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.919 now get the best of Apple on that fire stick. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.200 And there's no other way to describe it except it's 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.720 really cool. So for the first time ever, you can 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:12.320 directly access your iTunes, movies and TV shows and rented 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.200 or purchased through this app, which is available on the 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.240 fire TV stick and the Fire TV Stick four K. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.240 And the other side of this is that the fire 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.800 sticks are really cheap, and so you're basically getting the 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.679 beauty of an Apple TV in a firestick that's like 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.560 a quarter of the price. Now you're not getting all 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.359 of the apps that Apple TV offers in the Polish 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.960 I think Apple TV is probably the best streaming device 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.320 out there. It's just the most expensive, so most people 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.480 don't gravitate towards it unless you're a diehard Apple person. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:40.720 How much is it? 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.640 It's about two hundred dollars, and the fire TV stick 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.520 is closer to like forty, And then you have rokus 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.040 that are closer to you know, good one forty to fifty. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.400 They're one tops out at ninety nine. So again, do 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.880 I think this is cool? I think it's cool for 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.520 two reasons. Number one, you can access all your old 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.720 you know iTunes stuff. Now, the reason I say that's 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.520 not that big of a deal is because if you 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.720 had movies anywhere, you could already do this. You can 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.640 link up your movies every Anywhere account to your iTunes 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.280 account and then access movies anywhere through your fire TV. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.960 But the real reason why Apple is doing this, it's 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.680 not because of your iTunes stuff. It's because Apple TV 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.080 Plus is launching on November first, and they want you 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.119 to be able to watch their new shows. Yep, and 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.960 that's why they're doing this. And are you looking forward 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.080 to any show on Apple TV Plus because I am. 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.479 I know you are. I think I'm looking forward to 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:32.320 the morning show. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.320 Yeah, we gotta watch that. I mean we're in morning 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.920 TV news everywhere. I mean, your grandfather worked in morning 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.480 or he wasn't morning show? 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:40.240 Was he was? 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.360 It was like the evening. 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.200 News, right yeah? 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.440 Side Yeah, I was gonna say, that's a that's an 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.440 inside baseball term, right right, you've got the morning shift, 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.880 you've got night side. Night side probably works with any job. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.440 Overnight is pretty standard, right yeah, totally. Anyway, So if 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.360 you have a fire TV, you can go ahead and 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.320 search for Apple TV. Ironically, who would have thought that 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.080 would have ever happened, Or you can just ask Alexa 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.599 find the Apple TV app and there you go, sign 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.080 in with your iTunes, Apple iCloud account, whatever you call it, 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.560 and there you go. It is The app is available 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.560 right now, fire TV stick second generation and fire TV 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.919 Stick four K, so recent fire TV sticks. It's coming 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.440 soon to the fire TV Cube, the fire TV third 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.560 generation pendant design, and then Toshiba and Insignia Fire TV 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.880 Edition smart TVs. It is not compatible with the first 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.119 and second generation of the Fire TV or the first 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.039 generation fire TV stick. So basically, just search, just search 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.000 your thing and see if it comes up. If it doesn't, 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:42.960 your thing is not competing. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.479 I think next. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:49.200 I you know, it's funny because I was wondering about that. 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.839 Did they did announce Roku at their event, and so 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.280 they're probably, oh, hold on, it looks like it's already 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.200 available there. Oh cool, cool, Yep, it's already already. Apple 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.000 TV has landed on Roku. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.240 So that was that today too. 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.160 That was October fifteenth, so a couple days ago. Okay, 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.280 So here's the beauty of Apple. They are pulling out 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.520 all the big guns for this. They're like, look, we're 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.320 gonna be everywhere. We don't care, We're just. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.160 Gonna be he I mean, they got Jennifer Aniston to 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.120 join Instagram, and she was notorious for not being on 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.360 social media, so they're pushing it. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.720 They were all right. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.560 So this next question comes. 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.480 From next question? Do we do a first question? 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:33.640 Sorry, this first question comes from Jennifer. She writes, Hello, Rich, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.480 I'm planning on I'm planning to purchase your latest Tips 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.680 for iPhone book for my mom and boyfriend for Christmas, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.480 as I am not a tech savvy individual. Will there 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.240 be a new update for the book before Christmas? I 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.800 love listening to you on Handle. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.479 Oh, Bill Handle in the morning. I do KFI on 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.680 Tuesday mornings at eight am with Bill Handle on Wednesday 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:01.720 mornings at five am with Jennifer Jones Lee, and it's 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.520 always fun. You never know what they're going to say. Well, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.279 I never know what Handle's going to say. I know 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.200 what Jennifer. Jennifer's you know, she's kind of by the book, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:12.000 you know, but Handle, you never know. Yeah, So thanks 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.800 for listening there, but no. The book is called one 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.960 hundred and one iPhone Tips and Tricks Unlocked, the useful, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.000 time saving and fun features in iOS thirteen. It is 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.000 available right now on Amazon in both paperback and on 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.280 Kindle and also Kindle Unlimited if you have a subscription 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.040 of that it's free to read. And will there be 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.640 an update. No, it's ready to go. It's iOS thirteen. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.640 I updated it over the summer and it is all 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.200 ready to go. So thank you Jennifer for purchasing this 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.080 for your family. I expect a lot of people will 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.080 do that because it's such an easy gift for the holidays. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.280 It's like you got an iPhone, you want to know 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.120 more about it, boom by the book. So I do 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.280 appreciate that, and yeah, the updates are there, so I 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.720 think I think you'll find that it's even better than 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.160 the book that I wrote last year, which was pretty good. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.160 It was tough to top that, yeah, but I think 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.520 I think I did a pretty good job. Let me 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.040 talk about the Pixel four, segueing from Apple back to Google. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.800 So I've been using the Pixel four for the past week, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:15.320 and I have the Pixel four XL and I will 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.960 say it's an amazing phone. It is. I put this 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.960 in my in last week's show the title was Google 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.320 or pixel puts the Smarts in smartphone? And after using 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.640 it for a week, one hundred percent. I mean, I 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:32.760 was telling Megan this morning, how just simple things like 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.400 this where you know, when I wake up, my alarm 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.040 goes off at an ungodly hour, and you reach over 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.040 to turn off your alarm well with the Pixel because 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.760 it has that motion sense technology where it senses if 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.439 you're nearby it. Actually I keep saying dim, but it is. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.920 It lowers the volume of the alarm as you put 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.160 your hand over it. It's just such a nice little touch. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.280 Yeah right, yeah, I know that's because it's it's not 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.880 as a is like hearing it. You can like slowly 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.600 love with volume right now. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.840 I did worry that I would do that and then 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.480 fall back asleep because it right, don't actually turn it off. 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.240 But it's just little things like that, and there's a 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.440 million little things like that on the Pixel Now. I 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.000 watched all the Pixel reviews on YouTube and they all 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.400 came down to the same thing. All the iPhone loving 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.320 YouTubers basically said that this sucks because there's no wide 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.480 angle ultra wide angle lens, which I agree with. I 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.600 think that was a major miss on Google's part and 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.040 it really annoys me that there's no ultra wide angle 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.680 lens and it might be the reason why I don't 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.679 use this phone. The other thing that they got on 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.000 is the battery life, which on the Pixel four is 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:45.080 apparently terrible on mine, the pixel for Xcel, it's not horrible, 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.199 it's not amazing, it's just fine. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:47.720 Okay. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.560 In fact, if you're in your car for a little 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.800 bit each day, you know, like for me, it's like 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.880 between things, I'm kind of like, when I drive to 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.920 my shoot, I'm in my car for like half an hour. Yeah, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.600 that's enough for me to top off my battery. When 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.840 I drive home a little bit, you know, twenty thirty minutes, 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:03.400 w whatever, that tops off my battery, depending on how 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.320 far I'm going. So to me, it's not that big 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:05.720 of a deal. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.040 Trickle charging, is that what it's called. Yeah, but that's 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.360 meant for like electric cars, Yes, but. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.440 It works with phones as well. The other thing that 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.560 everyone's saying is that the face unlock is too fast, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.640 which I would agree with, and it's also too good, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.280 and it unlocks the phone when your eyes are closed, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.440 which is very insecure. So on iPhone, the face unlock 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.360 will only unlock if you are looking at your phone. Well, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.520 there's two ways. Your eyes have to be open, and 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.440 you can also have an option for attention, which means 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.400 if you're not clearly giving your phone your attention, then 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.319 it won't unlock, which is smart for security. This phone 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.240 just doesn't do it. Now. I will say, when I 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.800 had my Halloween little shin dig and I had makeup on, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.440 I was a Dracula, it did not recognize my face 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.000 and I was like, all of a sudden, I was like, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.200 my phone just stopped unlocking, and so I thought that 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.280 was really funny. And so again it's weird because it 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.319 unlocks when your eyes are closed. But if you your 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.080 face looks a little different like a dracu. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.480 If you look like Dracula, right, it's not gonna should 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.000 have shot a video of you trying to unlock your phone. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.800 Oh, I should have missed opportunities in my. 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.480 Life when I'm at your Halloween shindy, that. 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.640 Would have been good. So bottom line with the Pixel 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.640 four is that it is the best Android phone you 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.640 can get today. There is no doubt about that. I 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.640 have no qualms recommending this phone to anyone who wants 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.360 an Android. Is it better than the iPhone eleven? Pro? 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.320 It is not. And the reason it's not is because 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.280 the as much as I love the Google Smarts, as 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.880 much as I love how great the camera is, the 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.240 iPhone camera at this point has gotten really really good, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.280 and the Pixel camera is not. I don't it's it's 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.000 above it in certain ways, but not overall, you know 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.880 what I mean. Like the iPhone camera just gives you 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.200 more flexibility, the apps are better on iPhone, and the 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.400 Pixel has a million little tricks that are really cool. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.120 But I think one comes down to if you're an 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.880 Android person and you like what Android has to offer, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.880 which is doesn't give you all Apple stuff shove down 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.440 your throat, then this is a perfect phone for you. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.200 And that's the bottom line. There's nothing wrong with the device. 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.000 You think it's better than like a Samsung phone. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.440 I think that these again, the Samsung is closer to 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.319 Apple in the fact that it has more features available, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.600 like it's kind of like everything is thrown, you know. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.840 But I think the what I love about the Pixel 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.800 is it's just simple, and it's just there's a there's 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.760 a there's a stillness in the simplicity, right, There's a 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.199 and there's a it just feels like it is doing 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.600 what it needs to do without doing a whole bunch 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.880 of extra stuff, And the Samsung sometimes feel like they're 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.320 doing a whole bunch of extra stuff just to give 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.760 you what you want. Right, and that's kind of like 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.560 the way I feel. So there you have it. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.080 Interesting. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.719 All right, let's get another question. All right? 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.920 So this next question comes from Lauren. She wrote into 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.880 you on your website, which is Rich on tech dot TV. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.559 All you have to do is click the contact link 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.000 and you can send Rich your question. So Lauren asks, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.320 what's your take on using credit dot com to check 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.120 on your credit score for free? Is it that good 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.920 of a website or do you know of a better 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:09.840 one for free? 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.800 Ooh okay, So I like this question. It's a good one, 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:18.000 very unique question, Megan good good find. So she asks 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.000 about credit dot com, which I've never heard of. Oh okay, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.520 so let's see. Credit dot com is get your experience 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.640 credit score for free, and it says no credit card 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:32.240 required ever, and checking your score won't hurt. So you know, 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.920 I don't I don't have a problem with this credit 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.160 dot com, but I don't know anything about it. I 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.839 don't know who they are, I don't know what their 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.960 deal is, who they're owned by. But I imagine that 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.520 they're trying to eventually sell you something, which is we're 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.360 more than just a free credit score. We can give 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.360 you credit cards, credit reports, credit repair, credit scores, and loans. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.240 So again, nothing is free, and by putting your information 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.520 in here, you'll get your credit, but it's oh, it's 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.080 experienced credit score by the way, So it's just one 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.079 of the three. So you know, I don't know much 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.200 about them, but I don't I don't think it's necessarily 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:11.679 a bad thing, but I will tell you I have 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.840 tested other services, and the one I do like the 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.440 best is called wallet Hub. Wallet Hub, and the reason 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.040 I like this is because they are totally free. It's 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.120 a great app. And what I like about them is 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.640 they do offer some level of monitoring. And I remember 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.080 that I was getting a new loan or a new 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.520 credit card or something whatever I did, I open up 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.480 a new account and they were like the first to 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.240 text me and said like, hey, this account was just 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.360 opened or whatever. Someone checked your credit and so I 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.200 thought that was pretty good. Credit karma is also big, 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.080 and let's see what's the other one, credit sesame. So again, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.800 there's a lot of these things out there. I think 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.400 that the main thing is that you want something that 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.640 does not require a credit card and something that's not 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.040 going to oversell you. But check out wallet Hub. I 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.240 really like that one. You see it advertised on TV 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.520 a lot. Maybe you don't want that one because that 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.920 means if they're advertising on TV, they're spending big dollars, 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.720 which means they want to make big dollars in return. Right, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:09.840 you got to be careful. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.160 Now, you got to be aware. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.800 And I have one of those in mind, because there's 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.640 a one that's on TV all the time you see 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.120 at the gym. The other place to go is Annual 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.840 Credit Report dot com. And that is the one that 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.960 is officially licensed by the government or whatever you call 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.240 it to give you your free credit report once a 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:31.160 year from all of the major carriers. So I would 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.680 recommend that you do that once a year. Just download 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.320 your report and just that's it. It's only Annual Credit 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:38.560 Report dot com. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:39.480 When do you check. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.440 I haven't done that in a long time. To be honest, 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.320 I don't use credit very much, so I don't really 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.000 have a re so you know me. Yeah, So anyway, 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.440 that's uh, that's it. I'm a I'm a cash guy. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.840 I'm a Dave Ramsey fan, so cash is king to 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.760 me as much as I can do that as much 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:59.600 to my wife's chagrin. Actually, I just not well be careful. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.720 I don't hear. Here's my rule thumb. And I've mentioned 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.520 this before. If my card is leaving my hand, generally, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.760 I'm giving a credit card. If it's not leaving my hand, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.360 self service, whatever, swipe, it's my debit card. And I 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.560 just met one of the dads, one of the dads 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.360 that Lindsay was out to dinner with a couple of 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.400 our girlfriends and she's like, oh, Dave Ramsey came up. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.680 And one of the dads is a huge Dave Ramsey fan, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.560 one of the husbands, you know, and she's friends with 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:25.760 the wife. And I was like, Oh, we're gonna have 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.680 so much to talk about. So I saw him out 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.080 on like a weekend, and I was like, we got 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:30.760 so much to talk about. I'm like beans and rice, 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.720 rice and beans like we were talking about were And 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.000 he's even more hardcore than I am about it, because 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.280 I'm kind of like Dave Ramsey light okay, because if 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:38.960 you're a true Dave Ramsey fan, you would not have 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:39.920 a credit card at all. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.040 I've never heard of Dave Ramsey, so. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.200 I he was more like in big cities, you don't 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:49.280 hear about him as much. But when I lived in Shreveport, Louisiana, 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.520 kind of like you know, more middle of the country. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.880 He's much bigger there. Very it's kind of Christian based 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.800 as well, so there's a little bit of that element 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.800 going on. But I will say he changed my life, 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.719 oh following what he lives by, so good to know. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.400 And sadly I did not get to meet him when 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.280 I was at the radio hall whatever. Anyway, there's a 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.960 time when I was standing right near him, I didn't 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.159 get to meet him. Oh was that an event? But anyway, 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.840 all right, let's move on to Disney and Verizon. So 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.440 if you are a Verizon customer, you just hit the jackpot. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.639 You just got twelve months of Disney Plus for free. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.560 And in case you haven't heard about Disney Plus, it 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.040 is set to launch on November twelfth. It's gonna be 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.359 the new home for all things Disney movies and TV 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:40.080 shows that includes Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.040 and more. Apparently, Verizon Wireless is kind of like the 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.520 you know partner, the wireless partner on this thing, and 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:50.400 so you now have access. Here's the catch. You have 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.800 to be on a Verizon unlimited plan. Now I am 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.200 so now I will get Verizon, or I will get 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.280 Apple Music for free from Verizon, which is ten dollars 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.000 a month, and Disney Plus which is six ninety nine 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.160 a month. So I'm getting seventeen dollars a month out 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.600 of my two hundred dollars month a bill that I pay. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:14.320 That's amazing getting a seventeen dollars return. So anyway, and 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.080 here's the thing, a lot of people are wondering because 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.720 they signed up for three years of Disney Plus. They prepaid. 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.320 It was one hundred and sixty nine dollars as I 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.199 kind of an early adopter thing, So what's one sixty 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.360 nine divided by thirty six? So that brings it down 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:29.840 to four to sixty nine a month. So a lot 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.200 of people jumped on that instead of the six ninety nine. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.560 So they're wondering, Well, wait a second, you told I 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.680 did that before I heard about this Verizon deal. And 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.600 so the good news is my pal over at CNBC, 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.600 Todd Hazelton robotod on Twitter, he tweeted that he did 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.920 talk to Verizon and Disney, and you will be able 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.359 to stack those deals. So if you did buy the 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.760 three years, you can still get the twelve months free 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.560 of Verizon and then your three years will start after that. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.960 Oh well, there you go. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.120 Great deal. And I think just to sign up, you'll 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.120 get an email from Verizon, but basically starting November twelve, 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.919 so there's nothing really to worry about right now. But 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.840 in a couple of weeks, google that or go log 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:09.600 into your Verizon account and kind of sign up. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:15.879 Okay, This next question comes from John. He asks is 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.639 there a way to project Netflix or whatnot to a TV? 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.600 I have a Samsung S nine plus and I have 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.159 an older flat screen TV with no Wi Fi. 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.159 It's so funny questions like this. They seem so complicated. 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.239 But then I'm like wait. So immediately what came to 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.280 mind was chrome cast. I was like, okay, Crome cast 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.040 is like, how much does a chrome cast these days? 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.520 It was like twenty five dollars back in the day. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.520 Let's see thirty five dollars. So I immediately thought thirty five. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.760 I was like, Chrome casts. Why would you not? Because 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.639 he says that he's saying that he his TV is 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.200 not a smart TV. There's no Wi Fi. Basically he 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.360 means there's no smart TV. So I was like, well, 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.600 what I mean? Chrome cast, Right, you plug it into 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.719 the back of your TV. Yeah, a Roku. But Roku 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.640 you can't necessarily mirror your TV. He's your phone. He's 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:05.320 saying he wants to do it from his phone. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.280 But if he right, which he can, But why doesn't 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.320 he just get a fire TV or a Roku. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.760 Well he could and comes up Netflix. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:13.760 Yeah, it's just like another way. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.240 But I'm answering his question, which was he basically wants 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.159 to mirror or kind of use his phone to drive 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.679 the experience on the TV. The best way to do 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.760 that is chrome cast. You plug it into the back 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.800 of your TV. It's thirty five dollars, and you connect 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.840 that to your Wi Fi and you'll get everything. I mean. 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.400 Chrome cast has pretty much all the major services supported, 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:38.080 and again, your phone becomes the remote control for that device. 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.040 Love it or hate it personally, I think it's great 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.280 for certain uses, like if you have a picture on 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.080 your phone you just want to fling it to your TV. 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.000 I call it flinging it, you know, just showing it 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.240 on your TV. That's great. And I do have chrome 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:52.840 casts in all my TVs in my house, but I 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.440 don't use them for streaming. Ninety nine percent of the time. 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.199 To be honest, the only time I use them for 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.080 streaming is when Google sends me a coupon for a 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.320 ninety nine sent rental and then I'll just rent the 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:06.160 movie through Google play Store and sling it or Chrome 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:07.080 cast it to my TV. 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:07.880 Got it. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.200 So that's I think the simplest way. Thirty five bucks. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.120 There you go, easy question, good, good one. So let's 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.520 see speaking of smart TVs, and I'm sure once the 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.680 news gets a wind of this, you'll hear this everywhere 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.879 like the mainstream media kind of thing. But on December first, 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.040 some old models of rokus are losing their ability to 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:31.480 access Netflix. And before you get all scared, all I'm 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.080 telling you is that it probably does not affect your Roku. 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.359 And these are old school Roku players, Like I'm talking 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:39.480 the ones that first came out. They could be as 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.520 long as ten years old. Oh wow, So if you 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:45.000 have a ten year old player, it's probably time to upgrade. Anyway. 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.879 The place I think I would see this coming into 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.560 play is like if you have an airbnb or like 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.800 a basement or a playroom where you kind of grandfathered 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.880 an old player there. That is when you might run 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:00.639 into a problem because it's not your main TV, but 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.200 it's like your beach house and you have this old 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.640 Roku there that you just brought there, and now it's like, oh, 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.360 this doesn't work, and you're wondering why will you heard 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.560 Rich say that some of these are not supported. It's no, 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.200 you know, they're not trying to get you to buy 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:14.919 a new one. Roku's are so cheap they don't care 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.000 if you buy one. You know, they'd rather give it away. 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.280 They're making money on the ads so and the services 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.159 that you buy through them. So anyway, I'm not going 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:23.840 to go through all the player names, but it's like 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.000 the Roku twenty fifty X, the twenty one hundred, the 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.720 two thousand C, the Roku HD, Roku SD, Roku x R, 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.760 and Roku x D. I did just go through. 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:39.800 All the names, cover all your bases. This next question 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:44.680 comes from Tina. She asks Rich, I really need help 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.679 with making a video with music for my best friend's 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.320 memorial as you passed away last month. I have an 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.760 iPhone ten R. Please give me any tips you can. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.440 Love Katie lay watch it every day. 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.400 Well, thank you. Sorry to hear about your friends, and 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:02.840 if you are going to embark on making a video. 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:06.159 It sort of depends. I mean, this is my life, 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.440 this is what I do. I love editing videos on 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.920 my phone, on my computer. My phone is my favorite 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:16.600 way of doing it if I can. And I'm guessing 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.040 since it's for a memorial, you're going to have a 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:23.879 combination of primarily pictures and maybe a little maybe a 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.200 couple of video clips set to music. That's what I'm 0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:30.200 guessing that she's looking for. And so I think, look, 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:33.239 if you are a full time editor or someone with 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.639 a lot of skills when it came to editing, then 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:40.200 I would say to use Adobe Premiere Rush, and that's 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.320 what I use, and that's going to give you or 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.639 I mean final cut obviously. But she wants it on 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:45.000 a phone. 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:46.919 She said, yeah, she's an iPhone ten R. 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:48.720 So there's a couple of ways. Okay, So if you're 0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.720 looking at a phone, I would say, look, if you 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:53.600 want to have the most control over everything, you probably 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.000 want to use something like Adobe Premier Rush, or you 0:23:56.040 --> 0:23:59.040 can use something like iMovie on the iPhone, which is 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:00.879 gonna be fine. In both case you're going to get 0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:03.640 a great, polished production. 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.400 And iMovie is free on an iPhone. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.000 Right, I believe so. I think it used to be 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.720 like five bucks, but I think it's I think it's free. Now. Yeah, 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:12.280 I'm pretty sure it's free. So you can do that, 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.119 but again that's gonna take a lot of kind of 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.480 effort and a lot of figuring out. I think the 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:20.240 easiest solution for you is a program called Magisto m 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:23.800 agi Sto, And what they do is that they kind 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:27.239 of make the video for you. And what they do 0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:28.920 is you kind of give it a whole bunch. You've 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:31.600 feeded a whole bunch of stuff, You pick what theme 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.400 you want, you pick some music, and it will use 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.280 AI to kind of pick out the best parts of 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.240 those clips and to put them all together. Now, on 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.080 the flip side, if you have Google Photos, you can 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.119 do the same thing. And Google Photos allows you to 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.000 just select a whole bunch of photos and videos and 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.040 or and then just say make a movie. And if 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:52.879 you want to try doing that, you just literally go 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.199 into Google Photos. So if all your stuff is in 0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.600 Google Photos, I would try that first and just go 0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:59.879 into Google Photos, select a whole bunch of photos and 0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.520 and then from there, let me just do this on 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:09.000 my phone, select plus sign and then it says movie, 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.359 and you hit movie and it will create a movie, 0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:12.800 and then you can go through and change the theme 0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.880 and all that stuff. But I think between those two 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.320 apps you're gonna find that you'll be able to make 0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:22.199 a little memorial. Sorry for you're lost there. All right, 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:28.400 let's move on here to Outback. I thought this was interesting. 0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:34.880 Outback Steakhouse in Portland, Oregon is serving up a side 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:39.639 of surveillance with their bloomin onions. And this is a 0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:43.800 Wired story on this new service called Prestovision. This is 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:49.800 a artificial intelligence and machine learning program that is leveraging 0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:53.760 the security systems that are already in a lot of restaurants, 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.440 security camera systems. It sits on top of those systems 0:25:57.840 --> 0:26:01.360 and it analyzes stuff. So the idea here is that 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:05.960 restaurants already have these surveillance cameras included in the restaurant installed. Yeah, 0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:10.560 so we just intercept that footage with our software and 0:26:10.600 --> 0:26:14.960 we analyze what's happening in that footage and okay, so 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:18.000 what can they do for the first at this restaurant 0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:22.200 they're analyzing when they're analyzing the lobby And if you 0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:25.399 have you ever been to an outback no, I haven't. No, 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:28.760 I love Outback. So at Outback, the main thing that 0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:32.399 happens is it is empty for the entire day until 0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.320 rush hour for dinner, and at dinner at five to 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.560 seven pm, boom. You can't get in there every single day. 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.720 That's just the way it works at out Back Steakhouse, okay. 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.680 And so a bunch of people are sitting there waiting 0:26:42.720 --> 0:26:44.480 for tables. And what happens when you go into a 0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:45.840 restaurant and they say, oh, it's going to be an 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:50.200 hour and a half. Wait, what do you do? You wait? No, 0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:51.040 you walk out the door. 0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:52.160 Now you leave, you leave. 0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:54.080 And so that's what they're going to start doing. They're 0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:57.120 going to monitor how many customers decide to leave rather 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.600 than wait for a table, and this will help them, 0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:01.760 I don't know, figure out some analytics about that, how 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:05.800 they can make that system better. Prestovision says it can 0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:08.040 also be used for a lot of other stuff, but 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.640 that they're not doing with this restaurant. But it can 0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:14.000 be used to see if a customer's drink is almost 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:17.600 empty and needs to be refilled. It can see how 0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:20.720 often servers check on a table. It can be used 0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.240 to see all kinds of stuff. I mean, imagine all 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:26.639 the things you can interpret from seeing what's happening inside 0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.280 a restaurant. Yea, it can see how long it takes 0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:31.280 for a server to clear plates off a table after 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:34.119 a diner has stopped eating. All these things, and so 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.719 imagine you're the manager of this restaurant and you get 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:38.800 a little report at the end of the day, says 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.920 Megan took seven minutes to clear plates from tables after 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.600 diner's finished, whereas Rich took less than a minute. Who 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:48.920 do you think's going to get more shifts and more 0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.120 tables and a pat on the back? 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:52.040 Definitely Rich. 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.280 So you can see why not everyone likes this kind 0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.280 of big brother intelligence, right right. 0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:00.960 You can also see when people dine in dash. 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.800 Yeah, well that's I think for the surveillance cameras. I 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.760 think that's why they're there for stuff like that. Yeah. Whatever, 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:08.240 But this is just adding an extra layer on top. 0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:09.760 And we did a story. I don't think you were 0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:13.080 producer yet, but we did a story. And I think 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.840 the trend that we're seeing is that all these software 0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.840 companies that are using AI and artificial intelligence and machine 0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:23.520 learning are saying, huh, there are a lot of security 0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:29.480 cameras already installed all over the place, fast food restaurants, banks, workplaces. 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.399 How can we use that footage, which is normally just 0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:35.400 looked at when something bad happens, like a robbery or 0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.320 someone slips and falls and sues. How can we use 0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:41.720 that footage to analyze what's going on at that place 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.840 of business and somehow use it to make more money 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:49.680 to evaluate the employees. I mean, it's it's getting crazy, yea. 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:53.040 The cameras are already there. So we did one long 0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:57.120 story short with a it as a security company that 0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.200 was using AI to figure out if people like pulled 0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:03.000 a gun out, so their security footage or you know, 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:06.960 software could immediately were you here at the time? Okay, 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.960 so the mall would be like it would like literally 0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.320 text the mall people because now there's people watching all 0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:14.760 the cameras but they can't see everything. But maybe it 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:19.320 identifies something suspicious. Someone puts something weird in a trash can. Boom, 0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:22.040 it sends an alert to the mall security saying, hey, 0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:23.600 you might want to go check that out right now, 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:27.560 even before human can notice that. Yeah. So it's fascinating 0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:31.400 and also kind of scary. Surveillance society. It's happening, folks. 0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.200 That's frue crazy that we can do this now. 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:38.520 When there's money and or lives at stake and or efficiencies, 0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.200 it will happen, all right. 0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:46.200 This next question comes from Gauge. It's a very simple question. 0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.760 He just asks, should I set my Mac to update automatically? 0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:53.560 Very simple question, very simple answer. What do you think? 0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:55.280 My answer is Megan knowing me as. 0:29:55.160 --> 0:30:01.400 Well, Ah, I feel like yes, nope and no? Oh classic? 0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:03.640 How you know I'm a control freak? 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:04.600 Yes I do? 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:05.080 Am I not? 0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:05.840 Yes? 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:08.800 Okay, No, I am not letting anyone update any of 0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:13.160 my software without me knowing. Don't ever let anyone update 0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:16.960 your software automatically, and I'll tell you why. A. There 0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:21.320 could be issues. B you're giving up control of your device. 0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.080 Let's say a software update comes out and it's horrible. 0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:27.240 Everyone's saying how bad it is. Don't you want to 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.760 waste a month? Two months? Oh? Yeah, my computer is 0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:34.520 sitting here. The Catalina came out two weeks ago for 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.840 Mac os and I'm still not updated because I'm not 0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:40.560 letting it update automatically. Yeah. Maybe Catalina doesn't even do 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:42.480 that because you know it's such a big update. But 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.760 I have my computer all the time, is bugging me 0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:48.520 to do these updates. Now, I will say, for security reasons, 0:30:48.680 --> 0:30:51.280 always do updates. Don't be one of those people that 0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:53.480 is against updates because I don't want I don't like 0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:56.880 how things change. Everything changes when they do updates. I'm 0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.320 getting all these emails about iOS thirteen, how people hate 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:02.040 this and they hate that. Well, guess what you got 0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:05.120 to move forward with the times right right? 0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:07.520 Isn't that contradictory. 0:31:07.680 --> 0:31:11.040 No, what I'm saying is I want control over when 0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:14.160 I choose to do the update in a timely manner. 0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:17.400 Got it. There are some people that will sit on 0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.640 iOS eleven for a year because I don't want I 0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:23.560 was twelve. I've just heard them. It doesn't make their 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.400 phone as good. Yeah, don't do that. Don't be that person. 0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:27.640 Yeah, don't be that guy. 0:31:27.800 --> 0:31:30.680 But at the same time, you are in control. You 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.680 should be in control of your software updates. So very 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:36.800 simple question, very simple answer. But again that's what you 0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:39.160 want to do. Do the updates on your time when 0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:42.120 you can sit down and nah, you know, and you 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.440 can sit down and update your computer and not just 0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:46.240 wake up and all of a sudden get that message 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:53.120 that said room your computer was updated overnight. Who wants 0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:54.840 to wake up to that and all of a sudden, 0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:56.200 now you're at work and you got to figure out 0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.320 all these changes to your computer. Yeah, no, you do 0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:00.640 it at a time when it's good for you. Have 0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:01.640 I ranted enough? 0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:03.120 Yeah? I think you're good. 0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:04.800 I like how you got that answer wrong. But if 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:06.640 you would have thought for like one more second, now 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:08.560 you went too quick. 0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:09.640 I'm all attired today. 0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:11.360 If you would have thought for one more second, you 0:32:11.400 --> 0:32:13.920 would have gotten the right answer for me, because you 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:19.880 know me very well. Okay, what should we move on to. 0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:23.320 I'm out of questions, by the way, you're on Well, okay. 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:27.480 Well there's more. Let's see Ring. Okay, this is kind 0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.560 of fun since Halloween's coming up. Ring and Nest are 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.000 doing fun stuff for Halloween. And we knew this was coming. 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.640 And I'll tell you that what they're doing, and I'll 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:37.760 explain why I like one and not the other. But 0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:41.360 Nest is sort of Google's version of the Ring video 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:43.960 door bell. It's not as popular, but they have it, 0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.360 and you know, people that are in the Google ecosystem 0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:48.560 kind of like it. I do not have one personally, 0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:54.280 but they are doing special chimes and ring tones for Halloween, 0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:57.080 and so you when someone rings the bell, they hear 0:32:57.240 --> 0:33:01.920 a vampire, a monster, haunted house, cackling whatever, or if 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.680 you have a Google Nest speaker or a display like 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.520 one of their Google Nest Max or whatever hub whatever 0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:11.040 they call them, it will also make the sound on that, 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:14.760 which is really cool. Great love that and this is 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:16.760 not apparently this is the first time they're doing this, 0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.520 but not the last. So it sounds like for the holidays, 0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.680 they're also going to do fun stuff like little jingle 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:23.840 bells or whatever when you ring. So that's it's a 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.160 great use of this technology. Why does your doorbell have 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.600 to sound like a doorbell? Now? Ring who? They have 0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:33.200 obviously the most popular video doorbells out there. They're doing 0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.960 something similar. You can change the ring tones on your 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:39.560 phone and also the chime, and so if you're not 0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:41.720 familiar with ring, or maybe you are, they have this 0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.040 thing called the ring chime which plugs into your house. 0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:47.000 When I first got my ring, it was amazing, and 0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:48.720 you know, I got it of course like the first 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:51.160 out of anyone. So I'm like using this thing and 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.840 the first time we realize is like hold on, if 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.800 a babysitter is in our house and someone rings the doorbell, 0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.680 how do they hear it? Because at the beginning, it 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.400 will only rang your phone. Yeah right, and unless you 0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.080 were super close to your front door and you could 0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:06.080 hear it outside, you don't hear it. You wouldn't hear it. 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:07.960 And so this vexed me. I was like, wait, what 0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:12.680 how is this a They It just was a big oversight. 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.360 And so then they came out with the ring chime 0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.160 and I was like, ah, that makes sense. You plug 0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.719 it in anywhere in your house and when your doorbell rings, 0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:21.960 now the chime makes a sound, yeah, just like a 0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:25.239 classic doorbell now to rings defense. If you had a 0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:28.120 wired doorbell and you wired it that way, it would 0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.560 still ring your old chime, right it had in your house, 0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:33.440 but in my house we had a wireless one anyway before. 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:36.160 So anyway, so the way Ring is doing it is 0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:39.319 you can have Adam's Family or some other funky you know, 0:34:39.480 --> 0:34:43.680 Halloween sounds, but they only ring the chime or your phone. 0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:47.120 Guess who's had a look the person? 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.400 Yeah outside, Yeah, they don't hear it. 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:50.040 They don't hear it. 0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:52.640 There's like no you know there's no fun, there's. 0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.919 No payoff for them. So I think hopefully Ring will 0:34:55.920 --> 0:35:00.000 realize this and get it right for maybe like future. 0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:02.120 But I think the problem is the way the Ring 0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:08.279 doorbell is programmed. They physically can't change the actual you know, 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.600 what you hear outside. But anyway, so there you have that. 0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:14.880 Let's see what else do I want to talk about. 0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:17.080 We can talk about this because we went here together. 0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:20.560 This school that we visited that makes you lock up 0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:23.040 your cell phone at the beginning of the day, and 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.840 it's called Yonder. And maybe you've been to a concert 0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.280 that uses these cases. Maybe you've been to a movie 0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:31.319 screening if you're in the Hollywood area. That's the first 0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:34.120 time I encountered it, but I think most people encounter 0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:37.080 it at a concert or some sort of comedy show 0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.640 and there it's a case that locks up you put 0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:42.400 your phone in there. So the way it happened to me, 0:35:42.480 --> 0:35:44.560 I went to a Disney screening of I think it 0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:47.000 was Cars three, and immediately I get there and you're 0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:48.440 like walking in, They're like, all, I put your phone 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:49.759 in this case. I put my phone in the case, 0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:52.239 like they lock it. I'm like, well, what was that? Like? Oh, 0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:54.600 you got to keep you can keep this, but your 0:35:54.640 --> 0:35:56.280 phone is locked up for the whole screening. 0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.800 I'm like, what, So did they like grab your phone? 0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:00.759 They didn't grab it, just put the case out and 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:01.960 they said you got to put your phone in here, 0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:03.160 and I slipped it in. All of a sudden, they 0:36:03.200 --> 0:36:05.480 closed it. I was like, and it happened so fast. 0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:07.359 And this was a couple of years ago. Yeah, never 0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.560 heard of this, And I was like, wait, what just happened. 0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:14.280 I thought it was a Faraday cage case which locks 0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:18.719 all signal in and out. So immediately I was freaked out. 0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:20.600 I was like, oh my god, a my phone is 0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:22.920 gonna die. Yeah, because all the signals cut off, so 0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:25.000 it's gonna be searching for a signal this whole movie. 0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:26.959 B Did I turn off the ringer? So if someone 0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:28.840 does call me, is it gonna ring? So? Is this 0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:32.080 I was basically nervous the whole movie. Yeah, And now 0:36:32.120 --> 0:36:34.120 that I know more about yonder, it doesn't do anything 0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:36.960 weird with your signal, So if you do use it, 0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:38.879 you probably want to turn your ringer offs your phone 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:40.880 because if if your phone rang during that movie, you 0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.719 wouldn't be able to turn it off. So We went 0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.719 to this school, Riise Koyang High School in the Westlake 0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:49.320 district of Los Angeles, and all the kids there in 0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:50.760 the morning have to lock up their phones. 0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:53.440 I think that that's amazing. 0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:54.080 You like it? 0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:54.960 Yeah, I do. 0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.520 So I'm gonna do that to you here when you 0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:58.080 get to KTLA in the mornings. 0:36:58.200 --> 0:36:59.640 So then when you text me, I'll just. 0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:02.080 You can find ever you can find it on your computer. 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:04.239 Well, then can we lock up your phone too? 0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:05.680 Nope, I need it for my job. 0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:06.280 Okay. 0:37:07.120 --> 0:37:11.440 So they gave us. Yonder gave us two cases, two pouches, 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.759 and the little unlocked mechanism, which if you remember, back 0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:16.840 in the day, they used to have these security tags 0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:18.799 on clothes. Are you too young to remember that? You 0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:21.160 ever remember you would buy a piece of clothing, they 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.480 would put it down like there would be like a 0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:25.360 plastic tag on there that they would put on this 0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:26.560 metal thing and it would detach. 0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:27.600 Yeah, they still have that. 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:28.239 They still have that. 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.240 Yeah, okay, you don't shop a lot. 0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:32.759 Well no, nowadays A lot of the a lot of 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:36.560 them are the tags RFID in they build them into 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.400 the price tag or into some sort of even at gap, 0:37:39.680 --> 0:37:42.000 it's just in a in a label sewn into the shirt. 0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:44.839 No, I like have a sweater from I don't know, 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:48.120 like ten years ago that like I can't open because 0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.120 if I try to open it up, it would like splatter. 0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:51.239 Oh you stole it. 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.080 No, they'd forgot to take it off. Yeah, I stole it. 0:37:55.360 --> 0:37:59.000 Yeah, it has the ink inside. Ye. Yeah, if you 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:02.000 break it open, like it splatters all over. And so 0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.480 the idea is that you would be marked as a criminal. 0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:06.840 Yeah, exactly exactly. 0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:11.239 But the funny thing is Yonder gave us this just 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:14.000 as a as a loaner unit. So clearly we have 0:38:14.080 --> 0:38:15.600 to give it back. But I don't think I'm gonna 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:16.879 give it back. I think I'm gonna keep it. I'm 0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:20.280 just gonna keep this like unlocker mechanism in my backpack 0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:20.799 at all times. 0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:21.799 Yeah you should. So. 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:25.160 Can you imagine if I ever encounter one of these 0:38:25.760 --> 0:38:28.000 like concerts, I can be the only person with my 0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:29.560 phone unlocked. 0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.920 And I asked the CEO this question because I got 0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:33.799 to interview him and he and I said, so, like, 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:35.840 what if you do break it and you're at a 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:39.080 concert and you're on your phone? And he was like, well, yeah, 0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:41.439 that happens, and people just look at you, and they're 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:44.440 kind of like, dude, you're totally missing the point, you know, 0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:47.279 And I just what I respect, Like, I think that 0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:50.040 that that's the cool part is we are so obsessed 0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:52.600 with our phones that if let's say an artist wants 0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:55.279 you to use the Yonder pouch like to break it 0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.080 just because you want to like take a picture, it's 0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:58.640 kind of pretty lame, you know. 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.560 I agree, as a great point is that the whole, 0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:04.800 the whole point of this is to detach for a 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:06.640 little bit. And I went, you know, we talked about 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:09.279 this to Maren Moore Morris concert I went to a 0:39:09.280 --> 0:39:11.600 couple of weeks ago, and I didn't have any cell 0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.520 phone coverage there, so I basically only took one picture 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.680 the whole night. And I will say it felt kind 0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.440 of good. Yeah. Now, when you're the only person not 0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:22.239 taking something, you feel left out. But if everyone is 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.680 in that same boat and it's it's better. 0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:25.920 Yeah, totally. 0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.040 I'm still torn because if I go to an event 0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:29.840 that I'm paying for that I want to have a 0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.640 memory from and I want to take a picture, I mean, 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.720 come on, yeah, you're taking that away from me. Yeah, 0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:37.319 And I get it. You can take pictures when you 0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.840 get outside of it whatever. And I do think that 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:42.560 the amount of people I call it living through their 0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:45.440 cell phone screen at a concert has gotten out of control. 0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:48.640 Oh yeah, I mean literally everyone around you is watching 0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:52.160 the concert through their screen. Yeah, especially on the best song. 0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:55.200 It just looks so like when you if you're at 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:57.120 a concert and you see everyone doing that and you 0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.759 just look around, you're kind of like, what what do 0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:01.440 you do? Like you know what I mean, They're not 0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:04.160 paying attention to the performance at all. 0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:06.359 Have you seen the person doing like the Instagram story 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:08.960 seventy five times to get it right? Or the selfie? 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.920 That's why I can't. I hate watching people take selfies 0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.200 because like when they when they take too many, it's like, oh, 0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:19.000 it's so sad, cringe cringey. 0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.560 Cringe worthy. My Lindsay who told me. Lindsay I think 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:23.560 was somewhere and she was at a pool and she 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:27.000 was like, I'm watching this lady take no less than 0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:31.120 a thousand selfies every position of her face to get 0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:33.360 it just perfect. I forget where she was, but it 0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:33.879 was just. 0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:35.080 No shame in the game. 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:38.879 Stop. I mean, it's crazy, you know me, I take 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:40.759 no I take no more. Than a hund you'll take. 0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:43.759 Like, yeah, like a five hundred, five hundred, look, I mean, 0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:44.680 and then we go through that, We. 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:46.680 Print out the contact she this is who he is. 0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:49.359 We go through with the monocle thing, yeah, look through, 0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:51.080 and then we post it to Instagram. 0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:54.520 Photoshop, yeah, any face tune, any wrinkles. 0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:56.600 But I'm not going to sit there and just take 0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:58.760 a thousand. I mean, that would be crazy. 0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:02.080 It's yeah, it's weird, it's strange. 0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:03.399 All right, that's going to do it for the show. 0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:06.000 We got some housekeeping.
