1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Samsung delays the fold. You'll soon be able to return

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Amazon items to all coals, a new app that realtors

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: will appreciate, a new way to scan documents. Google Fit

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: comes to iOS, Apple Watch gets lost at sea and

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: returns months later. Plus your questions. What's going on? I'm

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: I talk about the stuff that I think you should

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: know about happening in the tech world. Joining me is

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: producer Megan. Producer Megan, what's up? Good?

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: I'm good?

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: How are you good? There's a lot of stress surrounding

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: the podcast this week. Let's be honest. I totally changed

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: the way that you did things here. I was like,

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: don't do things that way. Did that? Did that make

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: you feel stressed out about? No?

16
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's just, you know, a lot of moving pieces.

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: It's exciting, and so obviously we want to live stream

18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: eventually and have live questions and all that. So there's

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: a lot of moving pieces and.

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: We try to figure it out out You figured it out.

21
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: But well, first let's start And I know you have

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of questions for me this week, so we'll

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: get to those in a moment. But first, let's start

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: with Samsung. You probably heard the news that they are

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: postponing the launch of the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Fold

26
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,279
Speaker 1: is their smartphone that literally has a screen that folds

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: in half. I won't spend a whole bunch of time

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: in this story because you've heard it. You've heard it

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: over and over. But we do have some more information

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: about why people are thinking this device failed. So it

31
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to launch on Friday, April twenty sixth. That

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: is not happening. If you're listening to this later, clearly

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. If you pre ordered one of these things,

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: you did not get it in the mail. So what

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: happened was a couple of reviewers got their test units.

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: They failed. Samsung quickly pulling the plug on this just

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: being like, you know what, we got to go back

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: to the drawing board. We're going to figure out what's

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: going on. In their official statement, they said they need

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: to run further internal tests. They plan to announce the

41
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: release date in the coming weeks. Now, I fix it

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: as the company that breaks down everything. Whenever there's a

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: new gadget that comes out, they break it down, they

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: take it apart. And the reason why they do that

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: is so that you can order pieces and repair these

46
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: things yourself. But most people just like to look at

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: their blog and see kind of like what's inside all

48
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: their favorite gadgets. So according to I fix It, they

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: say that the problems revolve around the phone's hinge, which

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: allowed the device to fold back and forth. But they

51
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: say it's very fragile and there's a gap. Now, the

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: hinge isn't fragile, but the gap in the hinge makes

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the phone fragile because it can allow specks of dust

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: to get inside, which can get behind the screen and

55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: really just totally screwed up. That's not good, not good

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: at all. So that's what's happening with the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

57
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: Will this phone ever launch?

58
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, Probably not.

59
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: You think probably not?

60
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like they have to rebuild.

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: The phone, so yeah, I mean it sounds like it's

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: a pretty big problem if there's like, like what can

63
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: you do put like a layer of plastic or something

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: around the hinge to make it like r But the

65
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: other thing is, didn't they manufacture all these phones already?

66
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: So what do you do with all those phones?

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have no idea.

68
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's kind of like what

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: happened with the Note seven where they had to like

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: trash a whole bunch of phones because they were blowing up. Yeah,

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a crazy thing to happen

72
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: to a big company. All right, Producer Megan. Enough about that,

73
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: let's get to your first question.

74
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So this first question is an email and it

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: comes from Kurt John. Subject is movie apps. He said,

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: can you do an update on theater apps? Thanks for

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: your other tech tips.

78
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you. Okay, So Kurt John wants to

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: know about theater apps. These are those movie ticketing apps

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: that are pretty hot right now. I guess they were

81
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: kind of hot. Now they've kind of cooled down because

82
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: people are like, uh, I got burned by movie pass

83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: because they keep changing, like the rules and restrictions. But

84
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: the one that started all is movie pass right, and

85
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: movie passes thing is like go see a movie, you

86
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: pay a certain amount of month and you can see

87
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: as many movies as you want. Now I'm looking at

88
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: the movie past website right now now, and look at this.

89
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: There are so many restrictions already on it. Right, so

90
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: it's like a month get started it says, by the way,

91
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: when build annually versus ach or E check, which means

92
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: they want to take the money right out of your checking.

93
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: So already I'm like, uhh, I'm not doing that. Then

94
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: you have number two, which is the one I'm using,

95
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: which is Cinemia. Now we did a segment with Cinemia,

96
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: and I have a subscription through that, and I will

97
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: say it is complicated to use, but it does work.

98
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: So the one I have, you pay a certain amount

99
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: of money every month and you get to see a

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: movie in pretty much any format. So I can choose

101
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, regular, three D, Imax, forty whatever, and this one.

102
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: Looking at their website right now, because the plan prices

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: change a lot.

104
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: But I canna ask how much is like the current The.

105
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Current one is right now ten ninety nine a month.

106
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: So for ten ninety nine a month, you get two

107
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: tickets per month in any format, so you can go

108
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: see a three D movie, an Imax or forty. Now

109
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing. What I notice with Cinemia is the

110
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: way that you buy your ticket. It's all virtual. They

111
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: give you a virtual credit card. You have to buy

112
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: your ticket through the exact way that they tell you.

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: So It used to be you can go on Fandango

114
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: for any movie. Now it's like every theater I choose,

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: it's like you have to go to that specific theater's website.

116
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: So I was up in Pedaluma and I saw a

117
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: movie up there, I had to go to the random

118
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: website of that movie theater to buy my ticket. And

119
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: the other thing is once you go to the movie theater,

120
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: so what keeps you from buying movies for your friends?

121
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: You have to go to the theater and check in

122
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: at the movie theater within a certain timeframe. So there's

123
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: a lot of little caveats, but with that said, it's

124
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: pretty amazing that it does work. The other two ways

125
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: you can go are AMC and Cinemak have their own

126
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: sort of movie clubs. Right, so AMC is called Stubs

127
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: a List and Stubs a List lets you see up

128
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: to three movies per week basically with no blackout dates,

129
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: no whatever. But it's kind of expensive. Twenty four dollars

130
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: a month plus tax and.

131
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: See potentially three movies a week.

132
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: You could see a lot of movies. Now you're limited

133
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: to AMC. Let's see movie club by Cinemark gives you

134
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: one two d ticket per month, your unused tickets do rollover,

135
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice. Then you get twenty percent

136
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: off concessions and waived online fees. So ten dollars a

137
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: month basically gets you one ticket, so that's not bad.

138
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: Movies are expensive, right, So okay, there you go.

139
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: That's the four that was great helpful.

140
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: Again, goes from Movie Pass at the cheapest but probably

141
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: the most restrictions to AMC which is the most expensive

142
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: but kind of the easiest to see movies. So great question.

143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to Cole's and Amazon. So

144
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know about this, but Amazon

145
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: and Cole's did this target program where they used target

146
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: in the probably shot bad use of words, right. They

147
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: did this pilot program where they let Amazon customers return

148
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: stuff to Cole's stores, and they tried it with one

149
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: hundred stores in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Milwaukee. I tried

150
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: this out personally, and it was a you can literally

151
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: get an item delivered to you from Amazon. You don't

152
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: like it, whatever, you just bring it into the cold store.

153
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: They have a separate register and everything where you can

154
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: bring this thing back. You don't even need the packaging,

155
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: So maybe the packaging that it came in, but not

156
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: like the box, right, and you just give it to

157
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: the person. They scan something out of your email and

158
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you're on your way. They take care of everything. And

159
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm guessing the way they save money is that they

160
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: put let's say twenty people return stuff, they put it

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: in one big box Amazon and ship that to Amazon, right.

162
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Instead of twenty people shipping things to Amazon, which costs money,

163
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: this is much cheaper to do things in bulk. So

164
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: the news is that they're expanding this program to all

165
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Calls locations, So it's gonna roll out. It's not gonna

166
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: happen overnight. But the reality is, if this is an

167
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: option to you, because a lot of times I've noticed

168
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: on Amazon when you're returning stuff, they have really clamped

169
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: down on kind of your options for free returns. Like

170
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: it used to be they would just come to your

171
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: house and pick up anything, not so much anymore. Now

172
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: they want to know the reason why you're returning it,

173
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: and depending on that reason, it will they will give

174
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: you kind of a level of where you can return

175
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: stuff and how much it costs. But I love the

176
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: idea of this expanding to all stores. If it's an

177
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: option for the next time you need to return something

178
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: to Amazon. Definitely try it out, all right, Megan? Pred

179
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: you sure? Meghan? Do we have something else?

180
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Yes? We have another question from Roland. He wrote on

181
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: your Facebook. He asked, Rich, I do not know if

182
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: you can help me with this, but I'm desperate.

183
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh.

184
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: Facebook publicizes your birthday, whether you like it or not.

185
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: I wrote them a letter stating that I did not

186
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: want my birthday publicized, but they did it anyway. Is

187
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: there anything else I can do to prevent my birthday

188
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,119
Speaker 2: from being publicized on Facebook?

189
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't put my birthday on Facebook. I know because

190
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Megan's checked many times.

191
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really want to know his age.

192
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: You're always on the hunt for my data birth, so

193
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't have it on there. And all I did

194
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: was go to my profile okay, and then you go

195
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: to about, and then you go contact and basic info okay,

196
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: and then near your data birth there's a little edit

197
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: button that looks like a pencil and you just press

198
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: that and there's like only me. I forget what the

199
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: options are, but it's like everyone only me, and like

200
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: maybe close friends or something, and all you do is

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: put only me. Just switch all your data birth info

202
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: to that and that's it. Now. The downside to this

203
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: is are you on Facebook at all? Yes, you are.

204
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,479
Speaker 2: I know what you're gonna say.

205
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: What You're not.

206
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: Gonna get happy birthday messages and that's so sad.

207
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna say. Every year, my

208
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: birthday comes and goes and nobody wishes me a happy birthday,

209
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: and so I do get a couple No, nobody does

210
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: because I don't put it out there. So a couple

211
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: of the dedicated friends will text me because they know

212
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: my birthday. But all the I call them klingons on

213
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Facebook that just look for the birthday wishes they don't know,

214
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: so it's like it just doesn't happen. Now, I've actually

215
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: tweaked this in years, and maybe I'm really evil for

216
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: doing this, but I've tweaked it, and like some years

217
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: I'll turn it on and it's like boom, a million

218
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Facebook wishes for a happy birthday. Other years nothing. Yeah,

219
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: so that's how you do it.

220
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: But I have it. So you see my birthday and

221
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 2: then you just don't see the year, so no one

222
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: knows my age.

223
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Not that Megan. It's pretty simple. You don't hide it

224
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: you'll hide it as you get older. That's what I

225
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: did for at some point I was like, oh, yeah,

226
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm twenty something, you know tech reporter. Now it's like, nope,

227
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,119
Speaker 1: I'll just leave that. Leave some things to the imagination.

228
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: A new feature from Zillo lets you create three D

229
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: home tours for free. When you're actually shopping for a house,

230
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: going to see the house, you will know in less

231
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: than five seconds if it's a fit for you, right,

232
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I wish they just showed that

233
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: on the pictures. A lot of times they hide stuff.

234
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: While Zillo is giving folks a new way to create

235
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: three D home tours using just an iPhone, which is

236
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: really cool because it's called the three D Zillo three

237
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: D Home. It's an AI powered mobile platform for iOS

238
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: devices that allows anyone to create three hundred or capture

239
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: three three hundred and sixty degree panoramic photos of a

240
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: house and create a three D tour, which is really

241
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: cool because if you can put a three D tour

242
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: on your listing, more people see it, more people are

243
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: exposed to it, more people are interested in it, and yes,

244
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: it'll help people decide quicker whether they want are truly

245
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: interested in your house. But you kind of want to

246
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: do that anyway. You don't want a million people come

247
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: in to your house that don't really care. Right. So

248
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this is that it's free. And

249
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: if you're a real estate agent or you've sold a house,

250
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: you know that this has been going on forever. People

251
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: have made three D tours, but it was expensive. It

252
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: took expensive equipment, elaborate setups, and a lot of time.

253
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Zillo says, this is free and it only takes an

254
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: iPhone and it probably takes fifteen to twenty minutes.

255
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

256
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: And in their research they found when they did this

257
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: as a test, they reported agents reported that listings with

258
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: three D tours attracted more potential buyers. So I like

259
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: that idea.

260
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: That is cool. Okay, So I have a tweet for you, Rich.

261
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: It's from at dawn Y tech guy. It's not a question,

262
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: it's more of like a statement, and he just says, Hi, Rich,

263
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: I've been wanting to remap my Samsung Galaxy S nine.

264
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: Going into Bixby Settings, then select Bixby key. I selected

265
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: double press to open Bixby and single press to open

266
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: an app. Yes, I love push bullet. So this is

267
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: like a new feature, I guess, and he is a fan.

268
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here, Don, Yeah, so there's

269
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot. Let's break it down. But okay, so what

270
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: you're referring to is on the Samsung devices, and I

271
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: forget when this started, but they put a dedicated button

272
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: on there that when you press it, it's like there's

273
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, most phones have a volume rocker and then

274
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: a power button, right, and maybe a home button on

275
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: the iPhones. Well, on the Samsung devices, they have an

276
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: extra button that is literally just dedicated to Bixby, and

277
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: there was no way to really disable that up until now.

278
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: So now in the apps in your Bixby. So if

279
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: you want to do what Don did he going, you

280
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: activate Bixby the first time you go into settings, and

281
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: there's a new option as long as your software is updated,

282
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: that allows you to choose what happens when you press

283
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: that Bixby key. You can't really disable it, but you

284
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: can kind of change what it does. All right, good question.

285
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: By the way, Don, according to his profile on Twitter,

286
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: is from New Jersey. So wo shout out to Don

287
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: in New Jersey.

288
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: Shout out in New Jersey.

289
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: So I found this cool app? That just came out today,

290
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: I think, but it's from Zoho Zho and I'm always,

291
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why, I'm fascinating with the idea of

292
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: document scanners on my phone. So iPhone has a PDF

293
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: scanner built in sodas Android. I use one called Scannabowl,

294
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: but I'm always looking for something new and better and

295
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: this one seems really good. So it's called Zoho doc Scanner.

296
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: So doc Scanner. I tried it this morning. It's super simple.

297
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: You basically open up the app, it recognizes the paper

298
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: that you have it pointed at, and it immediately starts scanning.

299
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: So here, Megan, I'll show you this. I've got this paper.

300
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: So watch how good this is? Got it right there? Boom, Okay,

301
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: let's try it. Let's see. You got to get the edges.

302
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Look at that. So there you go. Now I have

303
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: a great shot of that. And the other thing you

304
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: can do is you can edit, so you can crop it.

305
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Whatever you can mark up so you can draw on it.

306
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: So if I want to draw like circle something, I

307
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: can do that. Oh that's really cool. And you can

308
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: do all this again.

309
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: Sign it.

310
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: I can sign it. Now. Here's where it gets a

311
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: little tricky. So here's my little rich On Tech tip.

312
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: If you want to sign it, they have a little

313
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: thing that's like more and add signature right, so watch

314
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: what happens. Boom there comes the upsell. Right. So they

315
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: want you to pay a dollar forty nine a month

316
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: or three dollars a month to do all the like

317
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: fancy things on this app. Here's my rich On Tech tip.

318
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Instead of doing the signature, all you got to do

319
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: is zoom in to wherever you want to sign. Let's

320
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: say this is the signature line. Go mark up first,

321
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: then zoom in to where you want to sign, right,

322
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: and now I can sign the paper. Son need to

323
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: use their fancy thing. You just sign with your finger.

324
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: It's not as like you know, yeah, robust is what

325
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: they do. Anyway, it's a great little app. It saves

326
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: us a PDF. Let me just make sure you can

327
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: actually export it without paying. But if I go share

328
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: and I go to save to files, yep, I can

329
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: share it as a JPEG or a PDF. So great

330
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: little app. Again, it's called Zoho Doc Scanner.

331
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so next question actually has to do with your book.

332
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: This question is from Jacqueline zero two, that's her name

333
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: on Instagram. She said, Hi, I would like to purchase

334
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: your book, but it's telling me on a Kindle not

335
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: an iPad. Do you know if that's correct? Thinks in advance.

336
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: So she's saying that she's trying to read it on

337
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: her iPad, but it's telling her she can't. Okay. So

338
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: here's what's happening. And this is kind of like it's

339
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: a little window into the war between Apple and basically

340
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: Apple and everyone Apple in the world. So the way

341
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: Apple sees it, anything that you do through their through

342
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: an app on the iPhone or the iPad, they should

343
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: get a thirty percent cut of that of that purchase basically.

344
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: So with the Kindle app on iPad, if you browse

345
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: through it, you'll notice quickly like, wait, why can't I

346
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: buy any books on here? And it's really frustrating and

347
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: it confuses a lot of people. I learned this when

348
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I put my book out the first time as a

349
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: digital book. People are like, oh, it's not available for iPad.

350
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, it is, Like, just download the Kindle

351
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: app and it's in there. But what people don't realize

352
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: is that Apple disables the purchasing of any digital content

353
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: through their app so you can't purchase anything digitally through

354
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the Amazon app because they will have to give a

355
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: cut of that to Apple according to Apple's rules. So

356
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: what they do is they just disable it all together.

357
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: So if you go and buy the book on the

358
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: website or even the web browser on the iPad, you

359
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: can buy the book and then if you open up

360
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: your Kindle app, it will be in there. So that

361
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: it's a really weird thing. But and it confused a

362
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: lot of people myself because I was like wondering why

363
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: when I first started selling my book, people were like, Oh,

364
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I can't buy it on the iPhone or the iPad,

365
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's not true. That's just not like.

366
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: It's basically any book that you buy through Amazon that's

367
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: a Kindle book. You can download the free Kindle app

368
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: to your iPad and read the book through your iPad.

369
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: So got it?

370
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: That makes sense?

371
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, speaking of Amazon, now, I'm going to

372
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: segue into Amazon Key for a Garage is now available.

373
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: So if you're not familiar with this program, this allows

374
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime members to get deliveries in their garage using

375
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: this key Smart Garage kit. So in addition to them

376
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: opening your front door, with Amazon Key and putting a

377
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: package inside, or opening the trunk of your car and

378
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: putting a package in there. You can now choose in

379
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: garage delivery. So to make this possible, you do have

380
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: to have some technology set up. You do have to

381
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: have a Chamberlain, my Queue connected garage door opener, so

382
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't have this. I'm thinking of getting it because

383
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: I kind of want this feature. So when Amazon announced

384
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: that they would open up your front door if you

385
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: have a special electronic key on your front or lock

386
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: on your front door, people went crazy, like, no way

387
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Amazon opened the front door to my house. So they figured, okay, well, garage,

388
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: maybe you do need to get one of these garage

389
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: door openers. So it's either my Queue Connected Chamberlain or

390
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: lift Master Wi Fi garage door opener. So they will

391
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: sell you this equipment. By the way, the garage hub

392
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: is fifty bucks, which I don't think includes the opener,

393
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: by the way, and you can also get up I'm

394
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: very confused by this, but basically you need to install

395
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: something that lets them open your garage to cret your

396
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: package in there. Do you have another question?

397
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: I do. The next question is from Larry. Subject is

398
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: email hackers, So he asks, Hey, Rich, I enjoy your

399
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: segments on Ketla. I recently received a few emails that

400
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: show that they are from me to me. I didn't

401
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: open them, but did a print preview to see what

402
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: it was about. And they said that they had hacked

403
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: into my account and that they wanted a bitcoin ransom

404
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: or otherwise they would show the porn sites that they

405
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: claimed I looked at. First of all, I never looked

406
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: at any Oh.

407
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Okay, glad, glad, Larry's making that clear.

408
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: Secondly, a friend of mine said that I should just

409
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: ignore these emails.

410
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: What do you think your friend is? Right, Larry? So

411
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: a couple things. Number One, this is a scam that's

412
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: been going around, and I'm glad that you kind of

413
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: like understood that they wanted like a bitcoin ransom. You know,

414
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, really like. So what they're doing

415
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: is they're sending like millions and millions of emails to folks,

416
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: and this is kind of phishing, so they're trying to

417
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: it's actually not even phishing because they're trying to get

418
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: you to send money to them. So what they're doing

419
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: is they're preying on your vulnerability here. Now, these emails.

420
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: We did a segment on this on Katla. Actually, these

421
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: emails are usually personalized for you, so they usually have

422
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: like your home address in them, or they have some

423
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: sort of personal information like maybe even a password that

424
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: you've used in the past. So what they're doing is

425
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: they're going through these dumps of passwords and email addresses

426
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: that are available openly online that have been hacked, and

427
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: so they're saying like, Okay, we know your email address,

428
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: we know that this one of your passwords. We also

429
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: know what you're doing online, so we're gonna, you know,

430
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna take action unless you send us some cash.

431
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: And the reality is they're just praying on the fact

432
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: that you're like, oh, shoot, if they have my email

433
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: address and that is one of my passwords that I've

434
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: been using, what else do they have? And so that's

435
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: when you get kind of scared into sending them money.

436
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: But the reality is they don't have anything, and they're

437
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: just trying to like pray upon you. So ignore these.

438
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: And also if they include like a link in the email,

439
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: don't click.

440
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: On the ever click the link link. The other thing

441
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: that you can do is and I do this on

442
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: my email, I actually have images turned off by default

443
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: because a lot of the times these companies, these hackers,

444
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: if they're really smart, they will track the opens on

445
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: these emails, so there'll be a little tiny tracking pixel

446
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: in there, and they'll know, Larry, that you open the email.

447
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: So now they know that you looked at it, and

448
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, all right, now let's really prey

449
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: upon him a little bit more and be like, we

450
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: know that you read our email, and so we want

451
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: to you know, why aren't you responding to us?

452
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did say I did didn't open the emails.

453
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: I did a print preview. So is that a thing?

454
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know what email program he's using.

455
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he can do a print I don't know, but

456
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: that's it. That's smart. So he didn't open it, so

457
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: that's always smart. That's the other thing is I always recommend,

458
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: if you think of emails kind of like spamy, just

459
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: lead it without even opening it. But what I do

460
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: is I actually have turned off my images, so I have.

461
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: You can go into your settings on your email and

462
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: look for the option that says images, and it says

463
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: always display external images or ask before displaying external images,

464
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: And so I have those off, so you basically can't

465
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: track when I open an email. Okay, do you have

466
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: another question?

467
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: I actually I do. This one is about roaming charges

468
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: and it's from Cindy W. She asks, Hello, Rich, I

469
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: recently went on a cruise to the Panama Canal. My

470
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: husband received a few phone calls, but he did not

471
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: answer them on this trip. However, upon returning, my phone

472
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: bill showed we were charged through dollars for each call.

473
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: Can you tell me why this happened and can we

474
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: dispute it?

475
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so hmm interesting. Uh, I think you can dispute

476
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: it for sure. I don't know how to happen. I

477
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: think what's happening here is number one, your phone was

478
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: on roaming. So if you have an iPhone, if you

479
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: don't want this to happen, and believe me, this happened

480
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: to me one time when I went to China, I

481
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: got like a nine hundred dollars bill from AT and

482
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: T because I forgot to turn roaming off. And I'm

483
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: not kidding. All I uploaded I think it was like

484
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty five megabytes. It was really tiny, but it was

485
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: a huge amount of money. And so I called AT

486
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: and T and they finally did work with me to

487
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: get the charges reversed. They they ended up. The way

488
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: they got around it is they backdated my account with

489
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: some sort of like minute pass. So I bought like

490
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty five megabytes for like twenty dollars or something ridiculous,

491
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: and they backdated it to before the trip, and that's

492
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: how I got around it.

493
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: So because it was through cellular, yes.

494
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: Not Wi Fi, got it. So I was actually uploading

495
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: stuff to Dropbox and I didn't realize that all these

496
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: pictures that I uploaded were like going through cellular and

497
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: not Wi Fi, and so I quickly realized my mistake.

498
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: I turned my phone off, but it was not fast enough,

499
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: and so I did get home and you get your bill,

500
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: by the way, like two months later the roaming charges.

501
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's gotten better now, but usually roaming charges show

502
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: up like a month or two after your cycle, so

503
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. I'm like looking at this, I'm like, ooh,

504
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: I gotta look into that. So anyway, on your iPhone,

505
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: if you go into cellular, there is an option where

506
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: it says Cellular Data options, I have roaming turned off

507
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: just in case I go somewhere that it's on it'll

508
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: won't flip through that. So that's the number one thing

509
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: you can do. Now, what you have to do is

510
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: you have to call eighteen tier or whoever your provider

511
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: is and just totally play dumb, be like, yeah, I

512
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: didn't have my phone on like I didn't, and they know.

513
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: They're like, we're not stupid. They hear these calls every day.

514
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: But what you have to do is tell them I

515
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: didn't answer the calls. So I get what's happening is

516
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: just to make your phone ring. It probably takes some

517
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: network connectivity to that random network in Panama that you

518
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: were using, and they will argue that because those two

519
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: networks had to talk, there was a connection made and

520
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: they don't care if you answer your phone or not,

521
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: it still charges it as a call. Yeah, right, so

522
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: it's probably that one minute of time that you get

523
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: is like included in the ring whatever. Anyway, this is

524
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: something that you can totally dispute. Cindy, Definitely call up

525
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: your service brighter, dispute it to all hell. Do not

526
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: let this one go.

527
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: Good luck, Cindy.

528
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you did not use your phone, and if

529
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: you're not lying to me right, like I assume you're

530
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: not lying, like, I assume you didn't use your phone

531
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: if it just rang, Like, come on, an average person

532
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: would think that, like your phone could ring.

533
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: Without being charged, right, totally.

534
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: Google Fit is now on iOS, so if you're familiar

535
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: with google Fit, it's kind of like their answer to

536
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: a fitness app. And what they've done is they revamped

537
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 1: it a couple months ago. They have two simple activity goals,

538
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: move minutes and heart points. So basically, the more you move,

539
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: the more move minutes you earn, and the more intense

540
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: that movement is, the more heart points you earn. So

541
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: you don't have an Apple Watch, but I kind of

542
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: live and die by my minutes on here. So I've

543
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: got move I guess it's move I don't know move

544
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: points on here. I guess it's like calories or something.

545
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: And then I have my move minutes. So just because

546
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: you're moving, you'll get your move calories, but you may

547
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: not earn your move minutes. So like yesterday, I took

548
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: a hike and I earn like fifty eight move minutes

549
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: because guess what, when you're walking, it's strenuous on a hike,

550
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: so you actually earn like good minutes, right, But you

551
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: can walk around all day and not earn any minutes

552
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: because it's not very strenuous just to walk. So that's

553
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: kind of like the.

554
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 2: De You know how I love my walks.

555
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: You do love your walk You Megan is a ninety

556
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: year old and a twenty year old's body. It's true,

557
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: so it comes out that she walks a lot.

558
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: I go on hour long walks, Good Walk podcasts while

559
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: I do it, so multitasking.

560
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: That walk around the block, We'll cure everything. Yep. So

561
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you probably would not earn a lot of minutes on

562
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: those walks. Now, sometimes you do, depends on like the

563
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: strenuous nature of the walk, and sometimes the Apple Watch

564
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: will tell you to be like, hey, a forty five

565
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: minute walk, We'll give you all your man that's like

566
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: you need to fill for the rest of the day.

567
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, so the cool thing about Google Fit on iOS.

568
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: You might be thinking, well, why do I need that.

569
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: I already have an Apple Watch. I've got Apple Health.

570
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: It's cool because it works with various things. Anything that

571
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: talks to Apple Health will help you get your activity

572
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: move points and your heart minutes, so or sorry, yeah,

573
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: move minutes and heart points. So if you want a

574
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: simpler way to kind of slice and dice your activity.

575
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: It's an easy way. So, for instance, for me today

576
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: on my Apple Watch, I have three hundred and twelve

577
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: calories that I've burned but one minute of movement. Like,

578
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: so I haven't done much today, right, I've just got

579
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: work now. On the iOS Google fit app, it translates

580
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: that into fifty four movementutes out of sixty, which I

581
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: don't know how that's that must be for yesterday. Hold on,

582
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: that can't be for today. There's no way.

583
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: Fifty four out of sixty.

584
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: There's no way that's for today. How is that possible? Yeah?

585
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't Okay, I have zero Okay, I have zero

586
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: heart points, and this says I have six hundred and

587
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: sixty seven calories burned.

588
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: So they're different, they're very different.

589
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: But it sounds like the move minutes are actually just

590
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: moving like minutes that you're kind of like moving. But

591
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't have any heart points, which is the tough

592
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: thing to get. So kind of they're both on the

593
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: same level with the heart points, and you have a

594
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: stack there you can only choose one more.

595
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: No, I was like thinking, which one do I want

596
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: to ask? But I think that this one is probably

597
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: going to help more people. This is from Marianna B.

598
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 2: She says, hello, rich, My husband and I currently have

599
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: YouTube TV, but heard it's going up to fifty dollars.

600
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: I was just curious what your thoughts are on all

601
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: these streaming services versus cable. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime

602
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: and use the antenna to get KEYTLA. Seems like it

603
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: would be cheaper to just have cable again, since we

604
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: pay fifty five dollars for the Internet. What are your thoughts?

605
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: This is I feel like we get this question every week, right,

606
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: isn't this like a no? I love it because it's

607
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: it's I get so many of these questions and it's

608
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: a really tough one. But I'll boil it down to

609
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: a couple things. Number One, Yes, you can probably at

610
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: this point get cable, and you're gonna get more for

611
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: your money at this point, like you're paying fifty five

612
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: dollars for Internet, which, by the way, you must be

613
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: on a promotional plan because a standard for Spectrum is

614
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: now sixty five. And what Spectrum is doing slowly but

615
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: surely they are getting everyone off these promotional plans and

616
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: they are not giving them another one. So like me,

617
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: I pay sixty five. I was paying forty five, and

618
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna call them to pay the fifty

619
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: five because it's like such a pain to get through

620
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: to someone that it's like, all right, final pay. So

621
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: that's a twenty dollars spread every month. That's like twenty

622
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: more dollars I could be spending on like a you know,

623
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: a streaming plan. So anyway to answer your question, yes,

624
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: you can get more with cable. Here's why I hate cable. Okay,

625
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: it's not because they don't offer good deals. They do.

626
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: I get these things to my house every week. I

627
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: can pay ninety dollars for Spectrum cable and Spectrum Internet,

628
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: which is way cheaper than one paying for streaming. But

629
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I don't want the cable box. I

630
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: don't want the hassle of cable. I don't want a

631
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: cable box in any way, shape or form in my

632
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: house because the on screen display is terrible, the software

633
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: is terrible. The customer service is probably fine, but I

634
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with you. I want to be

635
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: able to sign up for services and delete services at will. Right,

636
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 1: So that's why I personally don't want cable. So if

637
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: you want to go to the cable route and you're

638
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: fine with the crappy DVR they give you and the

639
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: crappy software by all means, go for it. It is

640
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: an easier process. It is an easier system overall, because

641
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: guess what, you turn on your TV. You go to

642
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: your cable box, you press the letter or the number

643
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: of the channel you want to watch. It's simple. You

644
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: get all the things you don't have to deal with

645
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: an antenna. It is easier. But to me, it's just

646
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: not the way of the future, you know. So that's

647
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of like my thought on that. I know, that's

648
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of like a rich's rant. But my flip side

649
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: of all that is, yes, these services, like all all

650
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: these streaming services are getting complicated to keep track of

651
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: the channels keep changing, the prices keep going up. So

652
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: what I recommend is, you know, figure out what you want,

653
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: what do you want out of life when it comes

654
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: to your your cable So if you only need KTLA,

655
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: you've already got the antennas, you're fine there. Maybe you

656
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: don't need a streaming service like YouTube TV or any

657
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: of these other ones. Maybe you can subside on Netflix

658
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: and Amazon Prime plus the antenna, Like, why do you

659
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: need all the other stuff? Now? If you're telling me Rich,

660
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: I watch Bravo and I want to watch what is it?

661
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: Real Housewives? Is that the big show? So that means

662
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: that you need a cable service, right, because that's not

663
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: available anyway else as far as I know, Okay, it's

664
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: on Hulu, so day and day or what day and date?

665
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Like like okay, what days on and when? Do I get?

666
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay, good point, Yeah, it's it's not the current season.

667
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: They don't have the currencyason never want to watch the.

668
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Current season, right. So again it's like all these little

669
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: like mind land mind. It's very tough. So I would

670
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: go to untangled dot TV type in the shows or

671
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the programming or the channels that you like to watch,

672
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: it will spit out the streaming services that are best

673
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: for you. So for me, I always give the example,

674
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: I only watch two channels, Nick Junior. I don't watch these,

675
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: but Nick Junior and Disney Junior are the two channels

676
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: that I need for my streaming service, and a lot

677
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: of them don't offer both of those, and so I

678
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: have direct TV now. I pay fifty dollars a month

679
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: for basically those two channels, and so my wife and

680
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: I always have this discussion of how can we cancel

681
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: direct TV now to reclaim that fifty bucks, and we

682
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: can't because we need those two channels. So that's just

683
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: the way it is.

684
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: But everything's gonna change when Disney comes out with their

685
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: streaming service.

686
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: Yes it is, and it's gonna be a game taker

687
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: for parents. It's gonna be basically like in my case,

688
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: I will say I will pay the six ninety nine

689
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: a month for Disney Plus and I will go without Nick, right, Yeah,

690
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: and that'll be fine because now I'm saving fifty dollars

691
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: minus seven dollars is what.

692
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 2: Fifty dollars minus seven is forty three dollars.

693
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I'll be saving forty three dollars a month. Yeah, I

694
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: mean we should I do with my extra cash?

695
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: Megan, go to Dell Taco? All right.

696
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: Finally, this is a story we did on KTLA. You

697
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: saw it here first, and it is it has been

698
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: seen around the world. Now, this is an Apple watch

699
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: that was lost at sea. So I'll tell you the story.

700
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: A guy named Robert Bainter was is a is a

701
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: body surfer in Huntington Beach. He loves his Apple watch.

702
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: He rode a big wave and next thing you know,

703
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: he looked at his wrist and it was gone. So

704
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: he spent an hour looking for his watch. He didn't

705
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: find it, and he basically turned on Find my iPhone.

706
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: He put his watch in lost mode, which displays a

707
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: little message on your watch that says like, hey, if

708
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: you find this, can you call me now. A lot

709
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: of people question that part of the story. They're like,

710
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: hold on, how did his watch get into find my

711
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: iPhone or lost mode? When Apple Watch has to be

712
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: on cellular or Wi Fi. So clearly he was either

713
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: on a cellular connection. I didn't know if he had

714
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: that on his watch, or he was connected to some

715
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: sort of Wi Fi networ so on my Apple Watch,

716
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm connected to like Spectrum Wi Fi. Because my phone

717
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: is connected, it kind of passes that over. So there

718
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: is a chance that he was on like Spectrum WiFi

719
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: and that's how it was able to put that lock

720
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: message on his device. I know more than you need

721
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: to know. Anyway, long story short, he gave up hope.

722
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: Six months later, he gets a phone call and this

723
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: guy says, Hey, are you Rob Bainter. I think you

724
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: lost an Apple Watch. If you can describe this watch,

725
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: I will give it back to you. Sure enough, it's

726
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: his watch. He described it. He couldn't believe it. The

727
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: thing still worked.

728
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: This is such a funny story. I was obsessed with

729
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: it when you had told me, okay, like can you

730
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: go and like cover this? I got really into it

731
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: because it really just blows my mind. I don't have

732
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: an Apple Watch, so of course now I want to

733
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: get an Apple Watch because I think they're like indestructible.

734
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: Robert and his wife were so lovely and they were

735
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: they're huge KTLA fans, so.

736
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: They weren't lying because a lot of people are questioning

737
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: kind of like the whole story.

738
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, they were not. I mean I didn't detect

739
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: any like lives going on. This was very legit. Like

740
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: we literally walked right down to the water right where

741
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: he was bodysurfing, and he was like, this is like

742
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: the spot where I'm always body surfing. He had had

743
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: the Apple Watch for two years.

744
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, you've got more details.

745
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have some.

746
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: I have described the haze, so I'm assuming that's from

747
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: the sand that was like hitting up against it.

748
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: The horr what's weird is so Basically, like there's a

749
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 2: pier in hunting Huntington Beach right by where he was

750
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: bodysurfing that day, and if the if the apple Watch

751
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: had gone through the pier, it probably would have like

752
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: caught up yeah, from like the rocks and like everything

753
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: that's under the pier. So basically the apple Watch had

754
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 2: to have like been sucked out into the ocean and

755
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: then past the pier and then like you know, six

756
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: months pass, maybe a fish picked it up and like

757
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: finding nemo like brings it up north of the pier.

758
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they win for a while.

759
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really funny.

760
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: And then it's three years north and some guy found it, right.

761
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 2: And the guy that found it he he had thought

762
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: that it had happened recently because he thought, oh, no, idea,

763
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: maybe this was yeah, this was today. So in the

764
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: phone call that he left for Robert, he's like, hey, man, like,

765
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: if you lost this recently, like I have your Apple Watch.

766
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: But it had been six months so and by that

767
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: point Robert had already gotten a new Apple Watch kind

768
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: of moved on with his life, and then you know,

769
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: it turned back up.

770
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: So one thing I just realized that we forgot to

771
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: do with this story is interview the guy that found it. Yes,

772
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: so he's like the mystery man. I think we need

773
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: to follow up. Yeah, I know, but I love the

774
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: idea that he found it and he was honest enough

775
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: to return it. But the thing is like the watch

776
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: is pretty useless without like if he didn't return it,

777
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: it's like he couldn't reactivate it because all the Apple

778
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: products have like activation lock, so if you don't log

779
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: in with the iCloud that it was activated on, you

780
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: can't do anything with it anyway. So yeah, anyway, great story.

781
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: It turned up in a whole bunch of places and

782
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: pr Yahoo scenet. This story was basically like all over

783
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: the world. So and I think it's going to keep

784
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: going because it's like people are just still hearing about it, just.

785
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: Like that Apple Watch. It's like fighting Emo. Yeah, it

786
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: really is.

787
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: I would love to have like a little video camera

788
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: view of like what that Apple Watch went through for

789
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: six months, because what I think happened is realistically, it

790
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: was slashing around the ocean for only a little bit

791
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: of time and then it washed up on shore pretty quickly,

792
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: and then it just was evidence to someone like you know,

793
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: probably was under the sand or something like, I don't

794
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: think it was sloshing around the ocean for six months.

795
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: I think it was under the sand kind of something like.

796
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it was like slashing around. That seems

797
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, but anyway, it still worked and that

798
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: was a cool thing. So Rob Bainter and his wife,

799
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: by the way, they emailed only me, right, didn't they

800
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: say that?

801
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: They?

802
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Yes?

803
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: They they So. Robert's wife she's a huge fan of

804
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: Rich and she was like, I, you know, listen to

805
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: every tech report when this happened, and like, you know,

806
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: when we found the watch, she immediately thought like I'm

807
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: going to reach out to Rich, which she did obviously.

808
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get a lot of emails, by the way,

809
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: and I took one read of the first line and

810
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't have her email in front of me, but

811
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: it was literally like my husband lost his Apple watch

812
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: at scene. It returned six months later, and I was like, yeah, done.

813
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: I email her right back, said when can we shoot this? Yeah.

814
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: Immediately immediately she mentioned that too. She was like he

815
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: responded within like two minutes.

816
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: So I was like, yeah, there are some I know.

817
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: I know that sometimes if you email me you may

818
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: get frustrated because I don't email you back, but I

819
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: do have a priority list in my head of like, yeah,

820
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: I can tell when there's urgency and an email, and

821
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: I know when to write back and I know when. Also,

822
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: some emails I get do not have that same urgency,

823
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: and I can take a little bit of time because,

824
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: believe me, I get a lot of emails, especially with

825
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: this podcast. Now hello at richon tech dot tv is

829
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: take a little bit.
