WEBVTT - Apple Watch Lost at Sea Turns Up Working 6 Months Later

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Samsung delays the fold. You'll soon be able to return

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazon items to all coals, a new app that realtors

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>will appreciate, a new way to scan documents. Google Fit

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>comes to iOS, Apple Watch gets lost at sea and

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>returns months later. Plus your questions. What's going on? I'm

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Rich Demiro. This is Rich on Tech, the podcast where

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I talk about the stuff that I think you should

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>know about happening in the tech world. Joining me is

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>producer Megan. Producer Megan, what's up? Good?

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm good?

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>How are you good? There's a lot of stress surrounding

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast this week. Let's be honest. I totally changed

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the way that you did things here. I was like,

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.959
<v Speaker 1>don't do things that way. Did that? Did that make

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>you feel stressed out about? No?

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's just, you know, a lot of moving pieces.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>It's exciting, and so obviously we want to live stream

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>eventually and have live questions and all that. So there's

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of moving pieces and.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>We try to figure it out out You figured it out.

0:00:59.960 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>But well, first let's start And I know you have

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions for me this week, so we'll

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>get to those in a moment. But first, let's start

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>with Samsung. You probably heard the news that they are

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>postponing the launch of the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Fold

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.279
<v Speaker 1>is their smartphone that literally has a screen that folds

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>in half. I won't spend a whole bunch of time

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>in this story because you've heard it. You've heard it

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>over and over. But we do have some more information

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>about why people are thinking this device failed. So it

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to launch on Friday, April twenty sixth. That

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>is not happening. If you're listening to this later, clearly

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it didn't happen. If you pre ordered one of these things,

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you did not get it in the mail. So what

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>happened was a couple of reviewers got their test units.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>They failed. Samsung quickly pulling the plug on this just

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>being like, you know what, we got to go back

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to the drawing board. We're going to figure out what's

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>going on. In their official statement, they said they need

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to run further internal tests. They plan to announce the

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>release date in the coming weeks. Now, I fix it

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>as the company that breaks down everything. Whenever there's a

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>new gadget that comes out, they break it down, they

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>take it apart. And the reason why they do that

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>is so that you can order pieces and repair these

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>things yourself. But most people just like to look at

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>their blog and see kind of like what's inside all

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>their favorite gadgets. So according to I fix It, they

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>say that the problems revolve around the phone's hinge, which

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>allowed the device to fold back and forth. But they

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>say it's very fragile and there's a gap. Now, the

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>hinge isn't fragile, but the gap in the hinge makes

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the phone fragile because it can allow specks of dust

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to get inside, which can get behind the screen and

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.119
<v Speaker 1>really just totally screwed up. That's not good, not good

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>at all. So that's what's happening with the Samsung Galaxy Fold.

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Will this phone ever launch?

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Probably not.

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>You think probably not?

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, it sounds like they have to rebuild.

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The phone, so yeah, I mean it sounds like it's

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>a pretty big problem if there's like, like what can

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you do put like a layer of plastic or something

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>around the hinge to make it like r But the

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 1>other thing is, didn't they manufacture all these phones already?

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>So what do you do with all those phones?

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I have no idea.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, it's kind of like what

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>happened with the Note seven where they had to like

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>trash a whole bunch of phones because they were blowing up. Yeah,

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is just a crazy thing to happen

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to a big company. All right, Producer Megan. Enough about that,

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>let's get to your first question.

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So this first question is an email and it

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 2>comes from Kurt John. Subject is movie apps. He said,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>can you do an update on theater apps? Thanks for

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 2>your other tech tips.

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, thank you. Okay, So Kurt John wants to

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>know about theater apps. These are those movie ticketing apps

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that are pretty hot right now. I guess they were

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of hot. Now they've kind of cooled down because

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>people are like, uh, I got burned by movie pass

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>because they keep changing, like the rules and restrictions. But

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>the one that started all is movie pass right, and

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>movie passes thing is like go see a movie, you

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>pay a certain amount of month and you can see

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>as many movies as you want. Now I'm looking at

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the movie past website right now now, and look at this.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>There are so many restrictions already on it. Right, so

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like a month get started it says, by the way,

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>when build annually versus ach or E check, which means

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>they want to take the money right out of your checking.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>So already I'm like, uhh, I'm not doing that. Then

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you have number two, which is the one I'm using,

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>which is Cinemia. Now we did a segment with Cinemia,

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and I have a subscription through that, and I will

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>say it is complicated to use, but it does work.

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>So the one I have, you pay a certain amount

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of money every month and you get to see a

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>movie in pretty much any format. So I can choose

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, regular, three D, Imax, forty whatever, and this one.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Looking at their website right now, because the plan prices

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>change a lot.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But I canna ask how much is like the current The.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Current one is right now ten ninety nine a month.

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>So for ten ninety nine a month, you get two

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>tickets per month in any format, so you can go

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>see a three D movie, an Imax or forty. Now

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. What I notice with Cinemia is the

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>way that you buy your ticket. It's all virtual. They

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>give you a virtual credit card. You have to buy

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>your ticket through the exact way that they tell you.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>So It used to be you can go on Fandango

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>for any movie. Now it's like every theater I choose,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like you have to go to that specific theater's website.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So I was up in Pedaluma and I saw a

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>movie up there, I had to go to the random

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>website of that movie theater to buy my ticket. And

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>the other thing is once you go to the movie theater,

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>so what keeps you from buying movies for your friends?

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You have to go to the theater and check in

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 1>at the movie theater within a certain timeframe. So there's

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of little caveats, but with that said, it's

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>pretty amazing that it does work. The other two ways

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you can go are AMC and Cinemak have their own

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of movie clubs. Right, so AMC is called Stubs

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a List and Stubs a List lets you see up

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to three movies per week basically with no blackout dates,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>no whatever. But it's kind of expensive. Twenty four dollars

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.080
<v Speaker 1>a month plus tax and.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>See potentially three movies a week.

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You could see a lot of movies. Now you're limited

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.359
<v Speaker 1>to AMC. Let's see movie club by Cinemark gives you

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>one two d ticket per month, your unused tickets do rollover,

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of nice. Then you get twenty percent

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>off concessions and waived online fees. So ten dollars a

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>month basically gets you one ticket, so that's not bad.

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Movies are expensive, right, So okay, there you go.

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 2>That's the four that was great helpful.

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Again, goes from Movie Pass at the cheapest but probably

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>the most restrictions to AMC which is the most expensive

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but kind of the easiest to see movies. So great question.

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move on to Cole's and Amazon. So

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know about this, but Amazon

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and Cole's did this target program where they used target

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>in the probably shot bad use of words, right. They

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>did this pilot program where they let Amazon customers return

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff to Cole's stores, and they tried it with one

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred stores in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Milwaukee. I tried

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>this out personally, and it was a you can literally

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>get an item delivered to you from Amazon. You don't

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>like it, whatever, you just bring it into the cold store.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>They have a separate register and everything where you can

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>bring this thing back. You don't even need the packaging,

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>So maybe the packaging that it came in, but not

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>like the box, right, and you just give it to

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the person. They scan something out of your email and

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you're on your way. They take care of everything. And

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing the way they save money is that they

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>put let's say twenty people return stuff, they put it

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in one big box Amazon and ship that to Amazon, right.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Instead of twenty people shipping things to Amazon, which costs money,

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>this is much cheaper to do things in bulk. So

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the news is that they're expanding this program to all

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Calls locations, So it's gonna roll out. It's not gonna

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>happen overnight. But the reality is, if this is an

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>option to you, because a lot of times I've noticed

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>on Amazon when you're returning stuff, they have really clamped

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 1>down on kind of your options for free returns. Like

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it used to be they would just come to your

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>house and pick up anything, not so much anymore. Now

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they want to know the reason why you're returning it,

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and depending on that reason, it will they will give

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you kind of a level of where you can return

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff and how much it costs. But I love the

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>idea of this expanding to all stores. If it's an

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 1>option for the next time you need to return something

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to Amazon. Definitely try it out, all right, Megan? Pred

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you sure? Meghan? Do we have something else?

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes? We have another question from Roland. He wrote on

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>your Facebook. He asked, Rich, I do not know if

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you can help me with this, but I'm desperate.

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Facebook publicizes your birthday, whether you like it or not.

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>I wrote them a letter stating that I did not

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>want my birthday publicized, but they did it anyway. Is

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>there anything else I can do to prevent my birthday

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.119
<v Speaker 2>from being publicized on Facebook?

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't put my birthday on Facebook. I know because

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Megan's checked many times.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really want to know his age.

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>You're always on the hunt for my data birth, so

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't have it on there. And all I did

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was go to my profile okay, and then you go

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to about, and then you go contact and basic info okay,

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and then near your data birth there's a little edit

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>button that looks like a pencil and you just press

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that and there's like only me. I forget what the

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>options are, but it's like everyone only me, and like

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe close friends or something, and all you do is

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>put only me. Just switch all your data birth info

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to that and that's it. Now. The downside to this

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is are you on Facebook at all? Yes, you are.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.479
<v Speaker 2>I know what you're gonna say.

0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>What You're not.

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Gonna get happy birthday messages and that's so sad.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna say. Every year, my

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>birthday comes and goes and nobody wishes me a happy birthday,

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 1>and so I do get a couple No, nobody does

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>because I don't put it out there. So a couple

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>of the dedicated friends will text me because they know

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>my birthday. But all the I call them klingons on

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Facebook that just look for the birthday wishes they don't know,

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.319
<v Speaker 1>so it's like it just doesn't happen. Now, I've actually

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>tweaked this in years, and maybe I'm really evil for

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>doing this, but I've tweaked it, and like some years

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll turn it on and it's like boom, a million

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Facebook wishes for a happy birthday. Other years nothing. Yeah,

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>so that's how you do it.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 2>But I have it. So you see my birthday and

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.719
<v Speaker 2>then you just don't see the year, so no one

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>knows my age.

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Not that Megan. It's pretty simple. You don't hide it

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you'll hide it as you get older. That's what I

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>did for at some point I was like, oh, yeah,

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty something, you know tech reporter. Now it's like, nope,

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I'll just leave that. Leave some things to the imagination.

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>A new feature from Zillo lets you create three D

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>home tours for free. When you're actually shopping for a house,

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>going to see the house, you will know in less

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>than five seconds if it's a fit for you, right,

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, oh, I wish they just showed that

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>on the pictures. A lot of times they hide stuff.

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>While Zillo is giving folks a new way to create

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>three D home tours using just an iPhone, which is

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>really cool because it's called the three D Zillo three

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 1>D Home. It's an AI powered mobile platform for iOS

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>devices that allows anyone to create three hundred or capture

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>three three hundred and sixty degree panoramic photos of a

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>house and create a three D tour, which is really

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>cool because if you can put a three D tour

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on your listing, more people see it, more people are

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>exposed to it, more people are interested in it, and yes,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 1>it'll help people decide quicker whether they want are truly

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 1>interested in your house. But you kind of want to

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>do that anyway. You don't want a million people come

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.200
<v Speaker 1>in to your house that don't really care. Right. So

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the interesting thing about this is that it's free. And

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're a real estate agent or you've sold a house,

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you know that this has been going on forever. People

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>have made three D tours, but it was expensive. It

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>took expensive equipment, elaborate setups, and a lot of time.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Zillo says, this is free and it only takes an

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>iPhone and it probably takes fifteen to twenty minutes.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And in their research they found when they did this

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>as a test, they reported agents reported that listings with

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>three D tours attracted more potential buyers. So I like

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>that idea.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 2>That is cool. Okay, So I have a tweet for you, Rich.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>It's from at dawn Y tech guy. It's not a question,

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it's more of like a statement, and he just says, Hi, Rich,

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been wanting to remap my Samsung Galaxy S nine.

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Going into Bixby Settings, then select Bixby key. I selected

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 2>double press to open Bixby and single press to open

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 2>an app. Yes, I love push bullet. So this is

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>like a new feature, I guess, and he is a fan.

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot going on here, Don, Yeah, so there's

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Let's break it down. But okay, so what

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you're referring to is on the Samsung devices, and I

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>forget when this started, but they put a dedicated button

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on there that when you press it, it's like there's

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, most phones have a volume rocker and then

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a power button, right, and maybe a home button on

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 1>the iPhones. Well, on the Samsung devices, they have an

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 1>extra button that is literally just dedicated to Bixby, and

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>there was no way to really disable that up until now.

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 1>So now in the apps in your Bixby. So if

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to do what Don did he going, you

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>activate Bixby the first time you go into settings, and

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a new option as long as your software is updated,

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 1>that allows you to choose what happens when you press

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that Bixby key. You can't really disable it, but you

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>can kind of change what it does. All right, good question.

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Don, according to his profile on Twitter,

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 1>is from New Jersey. So wo shout out to Don

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in New Jersey.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Shout out in New Jersey.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>So I found this cool app? That just came out today,

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, but it's from Zoho Zho and I'm always,

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why, I'm fascinating with the idea of

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 1>document scanners on my phone. So iPhone has a PDF

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>scanner built in sodas Android. I use one called Scannabowl,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>but I'm always looking for something new and better and

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this one seems really good. So it's called Zoho doc Scanner.

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>So doc Scanner. I tried it this morning. It's super simple.

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>You basically open up the app, it recognizes the paper

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that you have it pointed at, and it immediately starts scanning.

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 1>So here, Megan, I'll show you this. I've got this paper.

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>So watch how good this is? Got it right there? Boom, Okay,

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>let's try it. Let's see. You got to get the edges.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Look at that. So there you go. Now I have

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.839
<v Speaker 1>a great shot of that. And the other thing you

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>can do is you can edit, so you can crop it.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you can mark up so you can draw on it.

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>So if I want to draw like circle something, I

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 1>can do that. Oh that's really cool. And you can

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>do all this again.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Sign it.

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I can sign it. Now. Here's where it gets a

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>little tricky. So here's my little rich On Tech tip.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>If you want to sign it, they have a little

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that's like more and add signature right, so watch

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>what happens. Boom there comes the upsell. Right. So they

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>want you to pay a dollar forty nine a month

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>or three dollars a month to do all the like

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>fancy things on this app. Here's my rich On Tech tip.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Instead of doing the signature, all you got to do

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>is zoom in to wherever you want to sign. Let's

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>say this is the signature line. Go mark up first,

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>then zoom in to where you want to sign, right,

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and now I can sign the paper. Son need to

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>use their fancy thing. You just sign with your finger.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not as like you know, yeah, robust is what

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 1>they do. Anyway, it's a great little app. It saves

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>us a PDF. Let me just make sure you can

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>actually export it without paying. But if I go share

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and I go to save to files, yep, I can

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>share it as a JPEG or a PDF. So great

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 1>little app. Again, it's called Zoho Doc Scanner.

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so next question actually has to do with your book.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 2>This question is from Jacqueline zero two, that's her name

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram. She said, Hi, I would like to purchase

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>your book, but it's telling me on a Kindle not

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>an iPad. Do you know if that's correct? Thinks in advance.

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>So she's saying that she's trying to read it on

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>her iPad, but it's telling her she can't. Okay. So

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>here's what's happening. And this is kind of like it's

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a little window into the war between Apple and basically

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Apple and everyone Apple in the world. So the way

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Apple sees it, anything that you do through their through

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 1>an app on the iPhone or the iPad, they should

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>get a thirty percent cut of that of that purchase basically.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>So with the Kindle app on iPad, if you browse

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>through it, you'll notice quickly like, wait, why can't I

0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>buy any books on here? And it's really frustrating and

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it confuses a lot of people. I learned this when

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I put my book out the first time as a

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>digital book. People are like, oh, it's not available for iPad.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yes, it is, Like, just download the Kindle

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 1>app and it's in there. But what people don't realize

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>is that Apple disables the purchasing of any digital content

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>through their app so you can't purchase anything digitally through

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon app because they will have to give a

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 1>cut of that to Apple according to Apple's rules. So

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>what they do is they just disable it all together.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So if you go and buy the book on the

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>website or even the web browser on the iPad, you

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>can buy the book and then if you open up

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 1>your Kindle app, it will be in there. So that

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a really weird thing. But and it confused a

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of people myself because I was like wondering why

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>when I first started selling my book, people were like, Oh,

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't buy it on the iPhone or the iPad,

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, that's not true. That's just not like.

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's basically any book that you buy through Amazon that's

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 1>a Kindle book. You can download the free Kindle app

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 1>to your iPad and read the book through your iPad.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>So got it?

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>That makes sense?

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, speaking of Amazon, now, I'm going to

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>segue into Amazon Key for a Garage is now available.

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you're not familiar with this program, this allows

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Amazon Prime members to get deliveries in their garage using

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>this key Smart Garage kit. So in addition to them

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>opening your front door, with Amazon Key and putting a

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.159
<v Speaker 1>package inside, or opening the trunk of your car and

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>putting a package in there. You can now choose in

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>garage delivery. So to make this possible, you do have

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to have some technology set up. You do have to

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 1>have a Chamberlain, my Queue connected garage door opener, so

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't have this. I'm thinking of getting it because

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want this feature. So when Amazon announced

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 1>that they would open up your front door if you

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 1>have a special electronic key on your front or lock

0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.640
<v Speaker 1>on your front door, people went crazy, like, no way

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Amazon opened the front door to my house. So they figured, okay, well, garage,

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe you do need to get one of these garage

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>door openers. So it's either my Queue Connected Chamberlain or

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.880
<v Speaker 1>lift Master Wi Fi garage door opener. So they will

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>sell you this equipment. By the way, the garage hub

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>is fifty bucks, which I don't think includes the opener,

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>by the way, and you can also get up I'm

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.959
<v Speaker 1>very confused by this, but basically you need to install

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:26.959
<v Speaker 1>something that lets them open your garage to cret your

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>package in there. Do you have another question?

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I do. The next question is from Larry. Subject is

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 2>email hackers, So he asks, Hey, Rich, I enjoy your

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 2>segments on Ketla. I recently received a few emails that

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 2>show that they are from me to me. I didn't

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 2>open them, but did a print preview to see what

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it was about. And they said that they had hacked

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.120
<v Speaker 2>into my account and that they wanted a bitcoin ransom

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>or otherwise they would show the porn sites that they

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 2>claimed I looked at. First of all, I never looked

0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>at any Oh.

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, glad, glad, Larry's making that clear.

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Secondly, a friend of mine said that I should just

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>ignore these emails.

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>What do you think your friend is? Right, Larry? So

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a couple things. Number One, this is a scam that's

0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.800
<v Speaker 1>been going around, and I'm glad that you kind of

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 1>like understood that they wanted like a bitcoin ransom. You know,

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like, come on, really like. So what they're doing

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is they're sending like millions and millions of emails to folks,

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and this is kind of phishing, so they're trying to

0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>it's actually not even phishing because they're trying to get

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you to send money to them. So what they're doing

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is they're preying on your vulnerability here. Now, these emails.

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 1>We did a segment on this on Katla. Actually, these

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 1>emails are usually personalized for you, so they usually have

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 1>like your home address in them, or they have some

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of personal information like maybe even a password that

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you've used in the past. So what they're doing is

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>they're going through these dumps of passwords and email addresses

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>that are available openly online that have been hacked, and

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>so they're saying like, Okay, we know your email address,

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>we know that this one of your passwords. We also

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 1>know what you're doing online, so we're gonna, you know,

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take action unless you send us some cash.

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 1>And the reality is they're just praying on the fact

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, oh, shoot, if they have my email

0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>address and that is one of my passwords that I've

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 1>been using, what else do they have? And so that's

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>when you get kind of scared into sending them money.

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.360
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is they don't have anything, and they're

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.359
<v Speaker 1>just trying to like pray upon you. So ignore these.

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 2>And also if they include like a link in the email,

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 2>don't click.

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 1>On the ever click the link link. The other thing

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that you can do is and I do this on

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>my email, I actually have images turned off by default

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.400
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of the times these companies, these hackers,

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 1>if they're really smart, they will track the opens on

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.600
<v Speaker 1>these emails, so there'll be a little tiny tracking pixel

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>in there, and they'll know, Larry, that you open the email.

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:49.639
<v Speaker 1>So now they know that you looked at it, and

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 1>they're kind of like, all right, now let's really prey

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>upon him a little bit more and be like, we

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>know that you read our email, and so we want

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to you know, why aren't you responding to us?

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he did say I did didn't open the emails.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I did a print preview. So is that a thing?

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess. I don't know what email program he's using.

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he can do a print I don't know, but

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That's smart. So he didn't open it, so

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that's always smart. That's the other thing is I always recommend,

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>if you think of emails kind of like spamy, just

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>lead it without even opening it. But what I do

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>is I actually have turned off my images, so I have.

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.119
<v Speaker 1>You can go into your settings on your email and

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>look for the option that says images, and it says

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>always display external images or ask before displaying external images,

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>And so I have those off, so you basically can't

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.159
<v Speaker 1>track when I open an email. Okay, do you have

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>another question?

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I actually I do. This one is about roaming charges

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:47.919
<v Speaker 2>and it's from Cindy W. She asks, Hello, Rich, I

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.639
<v Speaker 2>recently went on a cruise to the Panama Canal. My

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 2>husband received a few phone calls, but he did not

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 2>answer them on this trip. However, upon returning, my phone

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 2>bill showed we were charged through dollars for each call.

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Can you tell me why this happened and can we

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 2>dispute it?

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so hmm interesting. Uh, I think you can dispute

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>it for sure. I don't know how to happen. I

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>think what's happening here is number one, your phone was

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>on roaming. So if you have an iPhone, if you

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want this to happen, and believe me, this happened

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.399
<v Speaker 1>to me one time when I went to China, I

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>got like a nine hundred dollars bill from AT and

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 1>T because I forgot to turn roaming off. And I'm

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>not kidding. All I uploaded I think it was like

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty five megabytes. It was really tiny, but it was

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a huge amount of money. And so I called AT

0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and T and they finally did work with me to

0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 1>get the charges reversed. They they ended up. The way

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:42.040
<v Speaker 1>they got around it is they backdated my account with

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.479
<v Speaker 1>some sort of like minute pass. So I bought like

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty five megabytes for like twenty dollars or something ridiculous,

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and they backdated it to before the trip, and that's

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>how I got around it.

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 2>So because it was through cellular, yes.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Not Wi Fi, got it. So I was actually uploading

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff to Dropbox and I didn't realize that all these

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 1>pictures that I uploaded were like going through cellular and

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>not Wi Fi, and so I quickly realized my mistake.

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I turned my phone off, but it was not fast enough,

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and so I did get home and you get your bill,

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>by the way, like two months later the roaming charges.

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's gotten better now, but usually roaming charges show

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 1>up like a month or two after your cycle, so

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of funny. I'm like looking at this, I'm like, ooh,

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I gotta look into that. So anyway, on your iPhone,

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 1>if you go into cellular, there is an option where

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>it says Cellular Data options, I have roaming turned off

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>just in case I go somewhere that it's on it'll

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:32.840
<v Speaker 1>won't flip through that. So that's the number one thing

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>you can do. Now, what you have to do is

0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to call eighteen tier or whoever your provider

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>is and just totally play dumb, be like, yeah, I

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't have my phone on like I didn't, and they know.

0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>They're like, we're not stupid. They hear these calls every day.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 1>But what you have to do is tell them I

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't answer the calls. So I get what's happening is

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.879
<v Speaker 1>just to make your phone ring. It probably takes some

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>network connectivity to that random network in Panama that you

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:58.439
<v Speaker 1>were using, and they will argue that because those two

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.520
<v Speaker 1>networks had to talk, there was a connection made and

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't care if you answer your phone or not,

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.919
<v Speaker 1>it still charges it as a call. Yeah, right, so

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's probably that one minute of time that you get

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.679
<v Speaker 1>is like included in the ring whatever. Anyway, this is

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 1>something that you can totally dispute. Cindy, Definitely call up

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your service brighter, dispute it to all hell. Do not

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>let this one go.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Good luck, Cindy.

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you did not use your phone, and if

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you're not lying to me right, like I assume you're

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 1>not lying, like, I assume you didn't use your phone

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>if it just rang, Like, come on, an average person

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>would think that, like your phone could ring.

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Without being charged, right, totally.

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Google Fit is now on iOS, so if you're familiar

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 1>with google Fit, it's kind of like their answer to

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a fitness app. And what they've done is they revamped

0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:44.719
<v Speaker 1>it a couple months ago. They have two simple activity goals,

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:48.640
<v Speaker 1>move minutes and heart points. So basically, the more you move,

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the more move minutes you earn, and the more intense

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that movement is, the more heart points you earn. So

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't have an Apple Watch, but I kind of

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>live and die by my minutes on here. So I've

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>got move I guess it's move I don't know move

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>points on here. I guess it's like calories or something.

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 1>And then I have my move minutes. So just because

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you're moving, you'll get your move calories, but you may

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>not earn your move minutes. So like yesterday, I took

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a hike and I earn like fifty eight move minutes

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:19.360
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, when you're walking, it's strenuous on a hike,

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>so you actually earn like good minutes, right, But you

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 1>can walk around all day and not earn any minutes

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's not very strenuous just to walk. So that's

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the.

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 2>De You know how I love my walks.

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 1>You do love your walk You Megan is a ninety

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:36.879
<v Speaker 1>year old and a twenty year old's body. It's true,

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.360
<v Speaker 1>so it comes out that she walks a lot.

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I go on hour long walks, Good Walk podcasts while

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I do it, so multitasking.

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 1>That walk around the block, We'll cure everything. Yep. So

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you probably would not earn a lot of minutes on

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:53.119
<v Speaker 1>those walks. Now, sometimes you do, depends on like the

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>strenuous nature of the walk, and sometimes the Apple Watch

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>will tell you to be like, hey, a forty five

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 1>minute walk, We'll give you all your man that's like

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you need to fill for the rest of the day.

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:05.360
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so the cool thing about Google Fit on iOS.

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>You might be thinking, well, why do I need that.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I already have an Apple Watch. I've got Apple Health.

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 1>It's cool because it works with various things. Anything that

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>talks to Apple Health will help you get your activity

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>move points and your heart minutes, so or sorry, yeah,

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 1>move minutes and heart points. So if you want a

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>simpler way to kind of slice and dice your activity.

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It's an easy way. So, for instance, for me today

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 1>on my Apple Watch, I have three hundred and twelve

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:36.439
<v Speaker 1>calories that I've burned but one minute of movement. Like,

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so I haven't done much today, right, I've just got

0:26:38.840 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>work now. On the iOS Google fit app, it translates

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>that into fifty four movementutes out of sixty, which I

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how that's that must be for yesterday. Hold on,

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that can't be for today. There's no way.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Fifty four out of sixty.

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>There's no way that's for today. How is that possible? Yeah?

0:26:58.240 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't Okay, I have zero Okay, I have zero

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>heart points, and this says I have six hundred and

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven calories burned.

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 2>So they're different, they're very different.

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 1>But it sounds like the move minutes are actually just

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 1>moving like minutes that you're kind of like moving. But

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any heart points, which is the tough

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>thing to get. So kind of they're both on the

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>same level with the heart points, and you have a

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>stack there you can only choose one more.

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>No, I was like thinking, which one do I want

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to ask? But I think that this one is probably

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 2>going to help more people. This is from Marianna B.

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:35.239
<v Speaker 2>She says, hello, rich, My husband and I currently have

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 2>YouTube TV, but heard it's going up to fifty dollars.

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I was just curious what your thoughts are on all

0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>these streaming services versus cable. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 2>and use the antenna to get KEYTLA. Seems like it

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 2>would be cheaper to just have cable again, since we

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.920
<v Speaker 2>pay fifty five dollars for the Internet. What are your thoughts?

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>This is I feel like we get this question every week, right,

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:01.680
<v Speaker 1>isn't this like a no? I love it because it's

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it's I get so many of these questions and it's

0:28:04.119 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a really tough one. But I'll boil it down to

0:28:06.480 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>a couple things. Number One, Yes, you can probably at

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.639
<v Speaker 1>this point get cable, and you're gonna get more for

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>your money at this point, like you're paying fifty five

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>dollars for Internet, which, by the way, you must be

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>on a promotional plan because a standard for Spectrum is

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>now sixty five. And what Spectrum is doing slowly but

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:25.639
<v Speaker 1>surely they are getting everyone off these promotional plans and

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they are not giving them another one. So like me,

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I pay sixty five. I was paying forty five, and

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even gonna call them to pay the fifty

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>five because it's like such a pain to get through

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to someone that it's like, all right, final pay. So

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a twenty dollars spread every month. That's like twenty

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>more dollars I could be spending on like a you know,

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a streaming plan. So anyway to answer your question, yes,

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you can get more with cable. Here's why I hate cable. Okay,

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not because they don't offer good deals. They do.

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I get these things to my house every week. I

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>can pay ninety dollars for Spectrum cable and Spectrum Internet,

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 1>which is way cheaper than one paying for streaming. But

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. I don't want the cable box. I

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want the hassle of cable. I don't want a

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>cable box in any way, shape or form in my

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 1>house because the on screen display is terrible, the software

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is terrible. The customer service is probably fine, but I

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to deal with you. I want to be

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>able to sign up for services and delete services at will. Right,

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I personally don't want cable. So if

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to go to the cable route and you're

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fine with the crappy DVR they give you and the

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 1>crappy software by all means, go for it. It is

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>an easier process. It is an easier system overall, because

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>guess what, you turn on your TV. You go to

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>your cable box, you press the letter or the number

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>of the channel you want to watch. It's simple. You

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 1>get all the things you don't have to deal with

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>an antenna. It is easier. But to me, it's just

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 1>not the way of the future, you know. So that's

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of like my thought on that. I know, that's

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a rich's rant. But my flip side

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.080
<v Speaker 1>of all that is, yes, these services, like all all

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>these streaming services are getting complicated to keep track of

0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the channels keep changing, the prices keep going up. So

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>what I recommend is, you know, figure out what you want,

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 1>what do you want out of life when it comes

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>to your your cable So if you only need KTLA,

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you've already got the antennas, you're fine there. Maybe you

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>don't need a streaming service like YouTube TV or any

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of these other ones. Maybe you can subside on Netflix

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and Amazon Prime plus the antenna, Like, why do you

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>need all the other stuff? Now? If you're telling me Rich,

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I watch Bravo and I want to watch what is it?

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Real Housewives? Is that the big show? So that means

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 1>that you need a cable service, right, because that's not

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:37.280
<v Speaker 1>available anyway else as far as I know, Okay, it's

0:30:37.280 --> 0:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on Hulu, so day and day or what day and date?

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Like like okay, what days on and when? Do I get?

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good point, Yeah, it's it's not the current season.

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 2>They don't have the currencyason never want to watch the.

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Current season, right. So again it's like all these little

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 1>like mind land mind. It's very tough. So I would

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 1>go to untangled dot TV type in the shows or

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the programming or the channels that you like to watch,

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it will spit out the streaming services that are best

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 1>for you. So for me, I always give the example,

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I only watch two channels, Nick Junior. I don't watch these,

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>but Nick Junior and Disney Junior are the two channels

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that I need for my streaming service, and a lot

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>of them don't offer both of those, and so I

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>have direct TV now. I pay fifty dollars a month

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>for basically those two channels, and so my wife and

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I always have this discussion of how can we cancel

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 1>direct TV now to reclaim that fifty bucks, and we

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>can't because we need those two channels. So that's just

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the way it is.

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 2>But everything's gonna change when Disney comes out with their

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>streaming service.

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes it is, and it's gonna be a game taker

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 1>for parents. It's gonna be basically like in my case,

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I will say I will pay the six ninety nine

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a month for Disney Plus and I will go without Nick, right, Yeah,

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and that'll be fine because now I'm saving fifty dollars

0:31:49.680 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 1>minus seven dollars is what.

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Fifty dollars minus seven is forty three dollars.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll be saving forty three dollars a month. Yeah, I

0:31:58.000 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 1>mean we should I do with my extra cash?

0:31:59.600 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Megan, go to Dell Taco? All right.

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Finally, this is a story we did on KTLA. You

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>saw it here first, and it is it has been

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>seen around the world. Now, this is an Apple watch

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that was lost at sea. So I'll tell you the story.

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>A guy named Robert Bainter was is a is a

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>body surfer in Huntington Beach. He loves his Apple watch.

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 1>He rode a big wave and next thing you know,

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>he looked at his wrist and it was gone. So

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>he spent an hour looking for his watch. He didn't

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>find it, and he basically turned on Find my iPhone.

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He put his watch in lost mode, which displays a

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 1>little message on your watch that says like, hey, if

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.719
<v Speaker 1>you find this, can you call me now. A lot

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of people question that part of the story. They're like,

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.920
<v Speaker 1>hold on, how did his watch get into find my

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 1>iPhone or lost mode? When Apple Watch has to be

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>on cellular or Wi Fi. So clearly he was either

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>on a cellular connection. I didn't know if he had

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>that on his watch, or he was connected to some

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 1>sort of Wi Fi networ so on my Apple Watch,

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm connected to like Spectrum Wi Fi. Because my phone

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 1>is connected, it kind of passes that over. So there

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>is a chance that he was on like Spectrum WiFi

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's how it was able to put that lock

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>message on his device. I know more than you need

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to know. Anyway, long story short, he gave up hope.

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Six months later, he gets a phone call and this

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:22.760
<v Speaker 1>guy says, Hey, are you Rob Bainter. I think you

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 1>lost an Apple Watch. If you can describe this watch,

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I will give it back to you. Sure enough, it's

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>his watch. He described it. He couldn't believe it. The

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>thing still worked.

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 2>This is such a funny story. I was obsessed with

0:33:33.040 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 2>it when you had told me, okay, like can you

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.760
<v Speaker 2>go and like cover this? I got really into it

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 2>because it really just blows my mind. I don't have

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>an Apple Watch, so of course now I want to

0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>get an Apple Watch because I think they're like indestructible.

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Robert and his wife were so lovely and they were

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 2>they're huge KTLA fans, so.

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>They weren't lying because a lot of people are questioning

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the whole story.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, they were not. I mean I didn't detect

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>any like lives going on. This was very legit. Like

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 2>we literally walked right down to the water right where

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 2>he was bodysurfing, and he was like, this is like

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.919
<v Speaker 2>the spot where I'm always body surfing. He had had

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the Apple Watch for two years.

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, okay, you've got more details.

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have some.

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I have described the haze, so I'm assuming that's from

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the sand that was like hitting up against it.

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>The horr what's weird is so Basically, like there's a

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 2>pier in hunting Huntington Beach right by where he was

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 2>bodysurfing that day, and if the if the apple Watch

0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 2>had gone through the pier, it probably would have like

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>caught up yeah, from like the rocks and like everything

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 2>that's under the pier. So basically the apple Watch had

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 2>to have like been sucked out into the ocean and

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 2>then past the pier and then like you know, six

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 2>months pass, maybe a fish picked it up and like

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 2>finding nemo like brings it up north of the pier.

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they win for a while.

0:34:57.200 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's really funny.

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And then it's three years north and some guy found it, right.

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:07.280
<v Speaker 2>And the guy that found it he he had thought

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that it had happened recently because he thought, oh, no, idea,

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe this was yeah, this was today. So in the

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>phone call that he left for Robert, he's like, hey, man, like,

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 2>if you lost this recently, like I have your Apple Watch.

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>But it had been six months so and by that

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 2>point Robert had already gotten a new Apple Watch kind

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of moved on with his life, and then you know,

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 2>it turned back up.

0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:35.239
<v Speaker 1>So one thing I just realized that we forgot to

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 1>do with this story is interview the guy that found it. Yes,

0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 1>so he's like the mystery man. I think we need

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to follow up. Yeah, I know, but I love the

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.319
<v Speaker 1>idea that he found it and he was honest enough

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>to return it. But the thing is like the watch

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:50.239
<v Speaker 1>is pretty useless without like if he didn't return it,

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like he couldn't reactivate it because all the Apple

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 1>products have like activation lock, so if you don't log

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in with the iCloud that it was activated on, you

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 1>can't do anything with it anyway. So yeah, anyway, great story.

0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:02.560
<v Speaker 1>It turned up in a whole bunch of places and

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 1>pr Yahoo scenet. This story was basically like all over

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:08.399
<v Speaker 1>the world. So and I think it's going to keep

0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 1>going because it's like people are just still hearing about it, just.

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Like that Apple Watch. It's like fighting Emo. Yeah, it

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:14.879
<v Speaker 2>really is.

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I would love to have like a little video camera

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>view of like what that Apple Watch went through for

0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 1>six months, because what I think happened is realistically, it

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 1>was slashing around the ocean for only a little bit

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.800
<v Speaker 1>of time and then it washed up on shore pretty quickly,

0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and then it just was evidence to someone like you know,

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.359
<v Speaker 1>probably was under the sand or something like, I don't

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 1>think it was sloshing around the ocean for six months.

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it was under the sand kind of something like.

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it was like slashing around. That seems

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of crazy, but anyway, it still worked and that

0:36:42.000 --> 0:36:43.760
<v Speaker 1>was a cool thing. So Rob Bainter and his wife,

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>by the way, they emailed only me, right, didn't they

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:47.040
<v Speaker 1>say that?

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 2>They?

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:52.360
<v Speaker 2>They they So. Robert's wife she's a huge fan of

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Rich and she was like, I, you know, listen to

0:36:55.200 --> 0:36:58.600
<v Speaker 2>every tech report when this happened, and like, you know,

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:01.319
<v Speaker 2>when we found the watch, she immediately thought like I'm

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 2>going to reach out to Rich, which she did obviously.

0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I get a lot of emails, by the way,

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and I took one read of the first line and

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't have her email in front of me, but

0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:13.799
<v Speaker 1>it was literally like my husband lost his Apple watch

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>at scene. It returned six months later, and I was like, yeah, done.

0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I email her right back, said when can we shoot this? Yeah.

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Immediately immediately she mentioned that too. She was like he

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.360
<v Speaker 2>responded within like two minutes.

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, yeah, there are some I know.

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I know that sometimes if you email me you may

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:31.160
<v Speaker 1>get frustrated because I don't email you back, but I

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>do have a priority list in my head of like, yeah,

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I can tell when there's urgency and an email, and

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I know when to write back and I know when. Also,

0:37:39.440 --> 0:37:41.840
<v Speaker 1>some emails I get do not have that same urgency,

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and I can take a little bit of time because,

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.520
<v Speaker 1>believe me, I get a lot of emails, especially with

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:48.400
