12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: world this week. I know we survived cyber Monday. Cyber

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Monday happened, and I know I did a lot of

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: shopping on Cyber Monday. I'm sure you did too. I

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: thought the prices were just phenomenal. I really really got

16
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: some good stuff. I mean everything I bought, and I'm

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: not going to go over the list of everything, but

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I bought a lot of stuff, not tons of stuff,

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: like not that much, but I bought a lot and

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I loved it. I mean every price I got on

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: there I felt good about and I love feeling good

22
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: about the prices that I pay for things. I'm talking like,

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I want to get this, like these magnetic building blocks,

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: and Amazon had a flash sale on them and they

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: were like forty I think forty dollars off from what

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you would normally pay. And believe me, I have told

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: you know. I've been searching for these prices. I kept

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: a list. I was very smart this year. I kept

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: a list, and I basically on Cyber Monday just went

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: ahead on that list and went down the list and

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: looked for the stuff I wanted to buy, and I

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: got it all pretty much. I'm not going to tell

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: you what I got because it's mostly gifts for people,

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what other people bought. This is

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: according to Ernie. Now. This is the app that I

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: really like that helps you get refunds for price drops.

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: If you buy something on Amazon or up to thirty

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: other retailers the price drops within ninety days, they will

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: basically get you your money back as a rebate. And

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the way they do it is they'll just ask your

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: credit card for a rebate on the price difference, and

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: it works pretty well. I get payper checks, which is

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: kind of annoying. I don't like that. I wish they

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: would some credit cards. I know, do credit you right

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: to your card. I get payper checks sent in the

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: mail and I get a bunch of them. In fact,

47
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I have a bunch over here. They're usually for two

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: three four bucks. Anyway, the app is called Ernie ear

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: and wy if you want to try it out. But

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: here's their top ten Amazon. Number one item all new

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Fire TV stick and where's mine. I actually, I actually

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: was one of the people that purchased that. I'm not

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: giving this away. This is my Fire TV stick. I

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: bought that as a gift for someone. I'm not going

55
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: to say who, but I bought that. It was like

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: twenty two dollars, I think, which was a great deal.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: Number two Echo Dot. Number three was a smart plug.

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Number three was a smart plug. You

00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,120

Speaker 1: absolutely love it. I love the Google Home Mini. It's

Speaker 1: a little personal voice assistant, it's a speaker, it can

Speaker 1: does really well, and you need to get one of

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: those things. It's just such a nice little device to have,

Speaker 1: get through. You can tell me anything. You can talk

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,200

00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: can tell me your favorite gadget, what you're doing for

95
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: the holidays. I don't care, We'll just chat. This week

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: was crazy because there was an Apple security issue and Apple,

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I said, they've been getting a little sloppy. They have.

98
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of issues with the iPhone and

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: some of their Mac software. But here's the thing. When

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I say sloppy, Apple still comes out with amazing hardware.

101
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: What they're doing is they're just getting a little slopy

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: because they're delivering software a little bit faster these days.

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: So it's nothing against Apple. Believe me, everyone's doing it

104
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: because we live in a very competitive world. And the

105
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: good news is that just because Apple is being a

106
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: little sloppy with the software doesn't mean that things are bad.

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: They can usually correct all these problems on their devices

108
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: with a software update. And that's the good news about

109
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the world we live in is that ninety nine percent

110
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: of the time, they're not hardware issues we're looking at

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: when we talk about these bugs, we're talking about software issues.

112
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: So Apple, this is a pretty bad one. Though. This

113
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: happened with Mac computers, and the general issue was that

114
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: anyone was able to log into a Mac computer without

115
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: a password just by using the username root Root. And

116
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: if you are running a Mac right now with Mac

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: os High Sierra, you should have gotten an update automatically

118
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: from Google from Apple rather because Apple said this was

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: so bad that they just went ahead and sent the

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: software update out to computers automatically, which is something they

121
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: never never do, but they did it. They just updated

122
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: your computer because they needed to. But I tried this

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: on my computer. You just go in and you could

124
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: basically take over any computer you want to by using

125
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: the username route and no password, And it might have

126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: taken a time or two, but it just worked. And

127
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: this is one of the craziest things I've ever seen

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: in the years that I've been covering technology because it

129
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: was such a large security hole. You can go up

130
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: to any computer at your company, type in root, and

131
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're accessing anything you want on

132
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: that computer. You can go to your friend's house and

133
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: change the settings, change the wallpaper, whatever you want to

134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: do without knowing their login. This was a very, very

135
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: bad thing. Most people were asking, well, hey, can they

136
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: only do this if they have access to your computer?

137
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Not really. If a hacker's good, they're going to get

138
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: access remotely and they're going to take over your computer

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and figure out a way in with this with this password.

140
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: So Apple has come up with a fix. If you

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: just want to be sure, which I would do personally,

142
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: I would go on your Mac computer click the Apple

143
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: in the upper left hand corner. It's a little icon.

144
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: It says about this Mac, and then it says software

145
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: update that will launch your basically Mac app store, and

146
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: you should see updates installed in the last thirty days,

147
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: an update from November thirtieth. That's the one, and that

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: is the one that you want to make sure is

149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: on your computer. But Apple did do it themselves. Phone

150
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: number three one zero five nine four three zero zero

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: three if you want to get through and talk to

152
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: me about this. Did you do this on your computer?

153
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: The crazy thing about this Apple thing is that I

154
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: originally thought I had a fix for it by disabling

155
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: the root user, and so I did a little video

156
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: on that. It turns out that it would come back

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: if you just kind of did something on your computer

158
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: for a little bit, it would magically come back and

159
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: you could re log in. That was the craziest part

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: about this whole thing is that you really couldn't fix it.

161
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: You have to do something kind of crazy and in depth,

162
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: which is set a password for the root user, which

163
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't really recommend people doing because if you forget

164
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: that password, you're gonna have a real problem with your

165
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: computer getting in if you ever forget it. So anyway,

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: that was a surprise that happened on Let's see A

167
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: software developer publicized the problem on Tuesday, and then Apple

168
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: basically became aware of the issue Tuesday afternoon and said

169
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: they immediately began working on an update that closes the

170
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: security hole. And I think I'm trying to remember the

171
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: day that I reported on it. I think it was Wednesday.

172
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Was it Tuesday morning or Wednesday morning? I can't remember,

173
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: But they basically by the time I went on TV

174
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: about this, Apple had come out with a fix around

175
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: eight am, so they were really on it all right.

176

Speaker 3: Rich?

213
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: I got really random question for you. Sure, I got

214
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: an iPad Mini four and I know that you were

215
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: talking about the Apple situation. I know it's just for Max,

216
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: but I've noticed that a lot of the features that

217
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: the Sorry the iPad had is gone, and I'm actually

218
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: looking to go to Sorry.

219
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: That's okay. You can get a sip of water. That

220
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: happens to me when I start talking to.

221
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 2: Exactly Well it's a Friday.

222
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Too, Oh yes, Friday. That's I'm actually as we speak,

223
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm drinking a tea called throat Coat. So that's that's

224
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: my reward after a week of talking on TV, so

225
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: that might help you. Okay, So you're saying that your

226
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: iPad Mini four, which is a new iPad that's relatively new,

227
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: that's what my kids have. What's wrong with it?

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well I noticed that after a couple of updates,

229
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: they've taken away a lot of options like books and

230
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: video and like do you know the drop down menu

231
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: that they have when you sync up. I actually was

232
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: on the phone with Apple about that, and they actually

233
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: took away a bunch of options that was in the beginning.

234
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Oh you mean like you mean like sinking stuff from iTunes? Right?

235
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

236
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna give you a program that's gonna change

237
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: your life and it's gonna cost a little bit of money,

238
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: but it's going to be amazing and you're gonna love

239
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: it and you're gonna be able to put anything you

240
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: want on your iPad in about fifteen seconds. Okay you ready.

241
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: It's called Walter w al Let me make sure I

242
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: get this right. T R Okay, w A L t

243
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: R hold on? Uh okay, okay, Walter Too is the app. Okay.

244
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: And what's amazing about this app is you don't have

245
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: to deal with iTunes. All you have to do is

246
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: open up this app, connect your iPad to your computer.

247
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: You can drag and drop anything you want onto your iPad, music, video, book, whatever,

248
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: and it will handle everything. It will put the artwork

249
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: on there, it will figure out where it goes into

250
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: ebooks or into the you know, the TV, the video app,

251
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: or in wherever you can put anything you want. How

252
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: awesome does that sound?

253
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: That sounds really good. And I've been trying forever, trying

254
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: to figure it out with the new iTunes, But yeah, you.

255
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: Don't want to deal with iTunes. Apple doesn't care about

256
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: iTunes anymore because that doesn't you know, they don't It

257
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: used to be back in the day when people connected

258
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: their iPad to their computer, it would be you know

259
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: that iTunes was the way to get everything in there,

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Now they just don't care

261
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: because now they'd rather have people do everything wirelessly, sink

262
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: it through iicloud, which they can charge money for. This

263
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: program is forty dollars. But here's the thing. You can

264
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: try it out for free, and I highly recommend you

Speaker 1: try it out. Download it, drag some stuff into your iPad.

266
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: You will be amazed. Corey I mean, I'm telling you

267
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: this thing. It's like the best kept secret. Nobody knows

Speaker 1: I hope I can answer your question as easily as

00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: I did for Corey.

285
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: I hope. So. So, I was wondering, what's your opinion

286
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: on between iphoned and the s eights?

287
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: So the iPhone versus the Samsung. Okay, so let me

288
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: ask you a few questions. What are you on right.

289
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: Now while I'm on my home phone right now?

290
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean, like, what phone do you

291
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: use to use an iPhone to use a Samsung? What

292
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: do you use right now as your cel phone? I

293
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: use the eight Okay, okay, and so what are you

294
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: not liking about it? You want to switch to iPhone? Maybe,

295
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: well I had.

296
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 4: An iPhone four, but now I have the SA Plus.

297
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: But it seems like there's more better reviews on the iPhones.

298
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Well here's the deal. So here's the deal. iPhone gets

299
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: a majority of the attention Samsung. The S eight Plus

300
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: is a fantastic phone, probably one of the top phones

301
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: of the year. So that's number one. You're dealing with

302
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: an amazing camera, amazing feature set. You have every feature

303
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: available on the iPhone on your phone except for a

304
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: few things, and that's the apps. iPhone does have better apps.

305
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: You don't get I Message and you don't get FaceTime

306
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: right now, there's replacements for those. If for FaceTime, you

307
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: can use Google Duo, but the problem is or a

308
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Facebook Messenger. But problem is, you know a lot of

309
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: people know face time, so they always say FaceTime, FaceTime, FaceTime.

310
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: The camera, your camera's great. Here's the thing. I mean,

311
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: I understand that there's two worlds out there some people

312
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: like iPhone always just gets the attention because it's iPhone.

313
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them out there. People love them,

314
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: and they are They're an amazing device. It doesn't mean

315
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: that the saight Plus is not a good device. So

316
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, now, if there's a feature that you need

317
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: from the iPhone that you're not getting from the S

318
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: eight plus, then I think, you know, maybe you switch.

319
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: But if there's not a feature, then you know, I

320
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: think you just stick with what you have. You have

321
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: one of the best phones out there. You've got wireless charging,

322
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: you've got a great camera on there, You've got you know,

323
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: fast charging capabilities, you've got an amazing screen, you've got

324
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: expandable memory. I don't really know what else you can

325
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: want on a phone except for those things like I

326
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Message and FaceTime and some of the apps. I mean,

327
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I do get frustrated with my Android device when some

328
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: of the apps I want are not there, or some

329
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: of the features are not there. FaceTime is is the

330
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: video chat that everyone uses on on iPhone, so it's

331
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: kind of like a quick way to video conference someone,

332
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: so you know, and people love it, but it's a

333
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: it's an Apple specific thing, so who's your carrier with

334
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: your phone? Verizon? Okay?

335
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 4: Uh and this phone I can do I can face

336
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: time people.

337
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Yes, well yeah you can. You can. It depends they

338
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: have to be on Verizon. You can. Like when you

339
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: call them, there's like a little green video icon. Is

340
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: that what you're talking about? Yeah, so they do have

341
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: that built in. But again it's not universal, not every

342
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't work with everyone you're calling, because some people,

343
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: especially if they have an iPhone, that that feature does

344
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: not work. So it really depends who you're calling. But

345
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I think you have a good phone, and I think

346
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: you should just stick with it, Glinda, because you have

347
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: one of the best phones out there. So I know

348
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: this is a thing that I deal with all the time.

349
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: Like Fomo, it's like you want fear of missing out.

350
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: People have the iPhone. I think the iPhone is so amazing.

351
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: It is great. But just because you have an Android

352
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you know you're missing out on anything.

353
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: By the way, while we're talking about phones, let me

354
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: tell you about a new app if you want to

355
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: save on your data. This is a new app from Google.

356
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: It's called daytaly Da t A L L Y, And

357
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: what it is is It was started out for people

358
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: in countries like India and you know, like over in

359
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: Asia where they emerging countries where they don't have unlimited

360
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: data like we do. So my point is, this is

361
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: a new app that will help you save data even

362
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: if you don't live in one of those countries. So

363
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 1: if you are on a small data plan like a

364
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: one gig, two gig, three gig, four gig plan, you

365
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: can install this app from Google and they will help

366
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: you save your data. And so I had someone come

367
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: up to me today at work and they're like, Rich,

368
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, when you mentioned this yesterday, I installed

369
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: it on my phone and I realized that my phone

370
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I had an app on there that was using gigs

371
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: and gigs of data. It was Samsung Pay, he said.

372
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: And oh my gosh, I installed this Daytalian. First day

373
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: I figured out that that was scooping up all my data.

374
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: So again, this is a little if you want to,

375
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, take control of your data. You can say

376
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: which apps are allowed to have access, which apps aren't,

377
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: see how much apps are using, and you could turn

378
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: off certain apps that use too much data. And they

379
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: say it saves you an average thirty percent. Again, you

380
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: can find links to everything I mentioned here on my website.

381
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: It's rich on tech dot TV. I post the show

382
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: notes for the podcast so you can find links after

383
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: the show is aired, obviously, so it takes me a

384
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: little bit of time to go back and put all

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: the links. But you don't have to write anything down

386
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: right now. You can just go back and say, what

387
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: was that data app? And find it right there. You're

388
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: listening to rich on tech. I'm Rich Dmiro. We'll be

389
00:19:51,359 --> 00:20:20,959

00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: the important stuff you need to know in the tech world.

393
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: And it's not just for techies. You don't have to

394
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,600

395
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,080

397
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: make it easy for you. Because we live in a

398
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: world where there is a lot of technology surrounding us,

399
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: and the default to ninety nine percent of people is, uh,

400
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't really understand that I'm not a tech nerd.

401
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. You know it's that defeated feeling.

402
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't want you to feel defeated. I want you

403
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: to feel empowered. You're on Facebook already, so you're smart.

Speaker 1: You're listening to a podcast, You're really smart. You have

405
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: an iPhone or an Android, so you're smart there. You

406
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: may not feel smart at times because the device makes

407
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: you feel stupid when you don't know how to do something.

408
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: But that's why I'm here. I'm here to get help

Speaker 5: Anita?

426
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: Anita? Where are you calling from, Anita?

427
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: I'm calling from West Kobin and California.

428
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: All right, awesome, So what's going on in your life?

429
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 5: You know, I just had a question because I was

430
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: really thinking about downloading Cody Kodi, but I just didn't know,

431
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: you know, if you would recommend it, if it's like

432
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: a safe software.

433
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Well okay, so yeah, it's a popular thing because I

434
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: get it. People want to access everything for free on

435
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: either Fire, TV stick or whatever device they have, so

436
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Cody allows you to do that. And look, Cody is

437
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: not an illegal thing. There's nothing illegal about Cody. It's

438
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: a piece of software that allows you to stream live streams,

439
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: to look at movies, to get you know, whatever you

440
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: want that's online music, whatever. That in itself is not illegal.

441
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: What's happening is it's tapping into a gray market. And

442
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't recommend the gray market, so I can't recommend Cody.

443
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't the number one used to. I mean, yes,

444
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: some people are using it in a very legitimate way,

445
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: and that's fine, just like some people are using Plex

446
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: in a legitimate way. But the reality is a lot

447
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: of people are using these to get streams that are unauthorized.

448
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: And I'm saying that in a nice way. Basically, illegal

449
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: movies not illegal movies. Illegal movies aren't illegal. I mean,

450
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of movies you're watching, but

451
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: most movies are not legal. But my point is they're

452
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: getting illegal copies of these movies, illegal streaming of these movies.

453
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: So I do not recommend it. So go and everyone

454
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: in the chat room that has listened to me before

455
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: is saying, you know, Ridge doesn't like Cody because it

456
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: comes up. I get it. It's being advertised, it's being

457
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: talked about. Everyone is talking about Cody. Friends are at

458
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: parties and they're like, hey, you should get Cody because

459
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: you can get everything for free. I don't want to

460
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: get everything for free. I want to pay for my content.

461
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: I want it to look high quality. So, Anita, what

462
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: I recommend Go out and get yourself a Chrome cast

463
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: or a fire TV stick. There is plenty of free

464
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: content out there that you can purchase. I'm sorry that

465
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: you can subscribe to or purchase or watch on YouTube whatever,

466
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just I can't endorse the pirating that

467
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: goes on on Cody, especially when I make my living

468
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: on TV and you know, and building things, and I

469
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: spent my whole life creating stuff, and yes, all the

470
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: stuff that I've ever created I give out for free.

471
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: I give out free advice, free TV. But I am

472
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: being paid for that somehow, usually through a TV station,

473
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: So I really can't recommend it, especially living in Hollywood.

474
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: I know everyone loves that, but I think a thirteen

475
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: eleven twelve thirteen dollars subscription to Netflix is going to

476
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: serve you way better than what Cody does. So a

477
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: good question, and Anita, I'm not beaten up on you.

478
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: I think it's a fantastic question because so many people

479
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: are asking that question. But I just want people to

480
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: be clear about what Cody is all about. It's not

481
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: just this friendly little streaming service that you can get

482
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: anything you want on. It's really a little bit much

483
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: more that people are using for that. Okay, all right,

484
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: let me tell you about a couple things. So now

485
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: that I've given my opinion on that, let me just

486
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: tell you about Spotify real quick. They are doing a

487
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: deal if you're a Spotify Premium subscriber, which you pay

488
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: ten dollars a month for I pay fifteen a month.

489
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm on the family plan. You can get twelve months

490
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: of Spotify for one hundred dollars, so but you have

491
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: to pay it all at once. That's the catch. So

492
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. If you're paying for it anyway,

493
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: I get it. We all like these monthly payment plans

494
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: because it's just so much easier to think about nine

495
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: dollars nine ninety nine a month versus ninety nine dollars

496
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: all at once. But you do get, you know, basically

497
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: two months free. And Spotify has sixty million subscribers, which

498
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: is pretty insane, but this puts them in line with

499
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: what Apple is doing. Apple has a quiet ninety nine

500
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: dollars per year subscription, so once you're subscribed to Apple Music,

501
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: you can go in and modify your subscription to pay

502
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. So if you don't know that, definitely

503
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: do that if you can cough up the one hundred

504
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: bucks all at once. I know not everyone can do that,

505
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: and not everyone wants to do that, but if you're

506
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: in a place to be able to afford to do that,

507
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: you save yourself money in the long run. So let's

508
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: see what's what's ninety nine dollars divided by twelve, you're

509
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: talking eight dollars and twenty five cents. This saves you

510
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: a dollar seventy five a month. I know it's not

511
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: a ton of money, but it's almost a coffee. And

512
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: I've stopped buying my coffee out now because I've realized

513
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: the two dollars and forty five cents I'm spending on

514
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: that Starbucks cup. I mean, I buy five of those,

515
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: and that's my whole Spotify almost for the month. So

516
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: I've really started to drink the not so good coffee

517
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: at my work again because I got in this bad

518
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: habit of buying Starbucks so many times. They opened up

519
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: a drive through Starbucks right by KTLA, and I started

520
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: going like three times a week, and yes, I'd only

521
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: get like sometimes you get food, but most of the

522
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: time I would get a coffee for two dollars and

523
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: forty five cents for a tall I think or Grande

524
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: I forget either way. I've realized it's like that's really

525
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: expensive because you know, I buy that three, Let's say

526
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: I buy that five. Let's say I buy it ten

527
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: times in a month, right, which is not even that

528
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: month much. It's ten that's ten times two forty five.

529
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: That's like twenty five bucks. And here I am like

530
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: sweating over fifteen dollars for Spotify every month. Anyway, Spotify

531
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: deal ninety nine dollars for twelve months. That's something that

532
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: you might want to look into. And I'll put the

533
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: link on the Rich on tech dot TV. All right,

534
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: we got seven to one to four calling in seven

535
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: to one four, you're on with Rich? Who am I

536
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: speaking with?

00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: Hey? Rich?

538
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: How are you doing good?

539
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: Who is this?

540
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

541
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 5: This is Bobby from Corona.

542
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Bobby, what's going on? Hey?

543
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: Not much?

544
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: I was wondering.

545
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 5: I'm in the market for.

546
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 3: A iPhone se like thirty two gigs.

547
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you wondering about it?

548
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 5: Oh? I was just wondering what would be the best

549
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 5: avenue for me to get a great deal on that,

550
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 5: Like would you recommend.

551
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: New or used or I mean if you want website,

552
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: if you want to save money on it, I mean

553
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: the Okay, so the SE is basically kind of Apple

554
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: lowest priced iPhone. You can buy it out the door.

555
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: Let's see how much that's three hundred and fifty dollars

556
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: out the door, and you can also get that unlocked

557
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: as well, which means you can use it with any carrier.

558
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: So three hundred and fifty bucks is pretty cheap for

559
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: an iPhone not as high powered as some of the

560
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: other iPhones, But people really like this phone because it's small.

561
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: It does the job. You know, there's not much to

562
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: it. It just works. You know. It looks like the old

563
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: iPhone five I believe, or iPhone four. I can't remember

564
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: when they redesigned it, But okay, if you don't want

565
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: to buy it through their website. If you want to

566
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: buy a used iPhone, there's a couple of websites I recommend,

567
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: and the one the easiest that has the most stock

568
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: is probably gazelle ga Z E L L E. And

569
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: if I look at the iPhone s on there, you're

570
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: looking at a let's see, you can get a thirty

571
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: two gigabyte model for two hundred and thirty nine dollars,

572
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: so that's pretty good. You can get an unlocked sixty

573
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: four gigabyte model for two hundred and sixty nine dollars. Now,

574
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: I do think that they just recently updated the specs

575
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: on this thing, so I think you have to kind

576
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: of look out and make sure. Yeah, the latest one

577
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: has the A nine chip. So if you're getting an

578
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: older model and it has that older chip in it,

579
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: that may be a problem because some of the new

580
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: apps do require more horsepower, and that's what you're gonna

581
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: miss by getting this thing used. But Bobby, if you

582
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: want just a good old fashioned phone that's not that expensive,

583
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: you want to save a hundred bucks, you don't really care,

584
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: then go check out Gazelle. The other one I like

585
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: is glide dot com g l y d e dot com.

586
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Glide is a great place to buy used items as well.

587
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: And if you want to sell stuff, by the way,

588
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: you can use either of these websites. So Glide and Gazelle,

589
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: we'll give you those as well. And of course there's

590
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: always eBay and Craigslist. You can do that as well.

591
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Craigslist as much, but I

592
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: think eBay. I love eBay. It just takes a little

593
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: bit more work. So, Bobby, thanks so much for calling

594
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,640

00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: if you have the iOS app and you have car play.

617
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: While the app was just updated to support car play,

618
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: so now you can get Serious XM through CarPlay, which

619
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: I know it's a satellite service. Why would you need it?

620
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: But all this stuff, But I could see where this

621
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: could be useful. So in my use case, my wife

622
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: subscribes to Serious XM. I could see myself adding the

623
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: SERIOUSXM app subscription to my subscription and then I can

624
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: use it in my car with CarPlay, so or if

625
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: you're in a rental car, whatever. There's a million different

626
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: reasons why you might want this, but yeah, kind of cool.

627
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: So if you have the iOS app for SERIOUSXM, you

628
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: plug it into car Play and it will work, so

629
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: you can use that in your car. Let's see what

630
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: else I once I tell you about this. Amazon, if

631
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: you have an Amazon fireTV or a fireTV stick, they

632
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: now have a web browser that they have launched for

633
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: the fireTV. So now you can surf the web on

634
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: your TV. And yes, you probably don't want to do

635
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: this very often, but the reality is this is kind

636
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: of a neat thing that Amazon has done. And so

637
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: all you have to do is search in the app

638
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: store on Amazon for Silk web Browser. Silk web Browser

639
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: and this is Amazon's web browser, So if you search

640
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: for that, you can download it installed. They're not installing

641
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: it automatically, but once you install it, you can literally

642
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: just search the web on your TV screen. Now I

643
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: know you guys are thinking a step forward. You're saying, well, whoa, whoa,

644
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: Can I watch the KTLA live stream through this because

645
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: they're live streaming. Yes, you can, so that's really cool.

646
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: But there's a caveat. I've noticed in testing that every

647
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: time it hits a commercial break, the stream breaks and

648
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: it does not come back. It doesn't recover. So you

649
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: can watch the show and tune in and watch it

650
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: live stream and it looks amazing. You can even put

651
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: it full screen. But once a commercial break hits, the

652
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: live stream is broken, it doesn't recover. You have to

653
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: refresh the whole page for it to come back. But

654
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: if you have an Amazon Fire TV, definitely download the

655
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: Silk Web browser and you can. Now you know, for

656
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: those little times when you want to surf something on

657
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: your TV, you can do it. You want to do

658
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: a quick search. It's not going to be for all

659
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: your searches. You have your iPhone or your Android right

660
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: next to you, so you don't really need to surf

661
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: on the TV, but sometimes you might. I remember I

662
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: was watching a concert one time and it was live

663
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: streaming and I basically just put the live stream on

664
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: my web browser on my TV and I watched it

665
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: that way. It was pretty cool. It wasn't the best quality,

666
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: but it worked ways new, big, big update for iOS

667
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: and Android. Three main things you need to know about. First,

668
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: there is a motorcycle option, so you can set your

669
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: car type to motorcycle and it will give you better

670
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: routes optimize for motors cycle drivers. That's number one. Then

671
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: they have a new feature called talk to Ways, so

672
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: once the app is running, you can say okay, Ways,

673
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: and you can use voice commands so you can initiate

674
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: your drive, get directions, send reports, which I think is

675
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: gonna be the interesting thing. So the reports is, you know,

676
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: you can say like there's an accident right here or whatever.

677
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: That's really cool. So you have to turn that on.

678
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: You got to go to settings and toggle listen okay

679
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: for Ways on. And then they also have which is

680
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: really cool and I always wondered about this carpool support.

681
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: So now you can basically say I want to take

682
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: the carpool lane and it will tell you if the

683
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: car pool lane is going to be any faster than

684
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: the regular lane, and So that's an amazing idea. I

685
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: don't know how well it works. I've not tried that,

686
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: but I always wonder that if I'm driving, I'm like, oh,

687
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if the carpool lane is any faster or

688
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: if it's just a facade. And so now ways will

689
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: be able to tell you, and if you have a

690
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: carpool they'll be able to say, hey, take the carpoll lane,

691
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: or they can optimize your route for the carpool lane.

692
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: Have HOV support in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada,

693
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Washington, DC,

694
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin. Really cool, big old updates and uh yeah, okay,

695
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one more thing. Let's take a phone call.

696
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: We've got six six one calling sixty six one. Who

697
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: am I speaking with?

698
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 4: Hey?

699
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 3: Richard's Greg from Antelope Valley.

700
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Hey, Greg, what's up? Not a whole lot? Hey, you've

701
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: been watching the show for a while. Has it gotten

702
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: better over the past couple months or what?

703
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 3: Yes, definitely had.

704
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I've figured things out finally, and.

705
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 3: I'm watching you on my big screen TV thanks to

706
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 3: Chrome cat.

707
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Oh nice. Well, I'm sure the people that watch that

708
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: I've watched from the beginning are kind of sad because

709
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: everyone loves when people will have problems and mess up.

710
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of fun to see that happen.

711
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: So I know you don't get as many of those

712
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: moments and you're like, oh, I feel bad for rich

713
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: right now, but you know whatever, we get a better

714
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: show out of it. What's going on? Greg?

715
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: I had a question if you knew anything about the

716
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: four sinc IREI, what do you want to know about it?

717
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 3: When I connect my iPod, not my iPhone, My iPhone

718
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 3: works fine, but when I connect my iPod sometimes that

719
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: it works fine. But then sometimes it's like if I

720
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: just connected for the first time and it has to re.

721
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: Oh kind of reindexes, right, yeah, right, I think that's

722
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: what it's doing. It's just basically reindexing what it sees

723
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: on your Yeah, it's been a long time since I

724
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: connected an iPod to one of my cars, but uh, yeah,

725
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: it basically indexes everything that's on there first, so it

726
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: can kind of give you that tree on your screen right,

727
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: and it takes a little bit and that's what's happening. Yes, yeah,

728
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: I think my If I had to guess Greg, I

729
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: would say that the iPod is probably no longer a

730
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: priority with SYNC and so they're probably not really actively

731
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: coming up with updates for that program. Now. The reality

732
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: is it should just work because it's you know, the

733
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: iPod is like the standard issue, you know what I mean,

734
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: Like that was the thing these were all invented for,

735
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: and but nowadays most people are connecting their iPhone, so

736
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: I think ways has been more focused on the car

737
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: play and the Android auto aspect of things. And yeah,

738
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: so why are you still connecting the iPod? You got

739
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good collection on there or what.

740
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: I have an iPod Classic which is one sixty you know, gigabytes.

741
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can buy everything on there, right right,

742
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've I've often wondered if I should do that,

743
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: because I would it's kind of nice to put just

744
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: an iPod in there and then your music is just

745
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: always there so you don't have to like connect your

746
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: phone every time. But I use my phone in my

747
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: car and I listen to a lot of podcasts too,

748
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: so I get I get both the best of both worlds.

749
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: So all right, all right, well.

750
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: Good luck with that, okay, Well, thanks, good day.

751
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: Greg, Thanks for calling in. Appreciate it. Greg. One of

752
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: the first and we've got You know, there's like that

753
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: old thing on the radio shows where people are like

754
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: longtime listener, first time caller. That's like most people, but

755
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: for me, I get I've a couple of people that

756
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: call a lot. And I love it because that used

757
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: to be me. By the way, when I was younger,

758
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I used to call radio shows all the time. I

759
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: love the radio. It's so much fun. Isn't a great

760
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: medium and it's kind of weird. I love that I

761
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: can mix the radio with Facebook Live because it's kind

762
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: of two and one. All right, let's see if I

763
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: can answer this question real quick. Seven to one four.

764
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich seven to one to four. Who

765
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: am I speaking with?

Speaker 2: You're speaking with James?

767
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: James? What's up?

771
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: Uh My question for you is.

772
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 5: Is there any wireless.

773
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,440

774
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: Yes? There is? Uh so look up a company. There's

775
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: actually a lot of ways you can accomplish this, but

776
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: the one I know that's the best Bezl b e

777
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Z A L E L Bezl dot Co. And you

778
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: can basically buy So here's the thing. So you're not

779
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: gonna get the native you know wireless charging that you

780
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: have on the iPhone eight. You know, it's like the

781
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: basically the clean I call it clean charging because you

782
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: basically just lay your phone down on a charger and

783
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: it charges. How these work is you basically have to

784
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: get a case that you put on your phone and

785
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: then it plugs the bottom of the case has like

786
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: a little thing that pulls out and plugs into the

787
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: lightning jack and then you can lay that phone on

788
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: a wireless charger and it will charge. So that that's

789
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: what you do, and you can get they have a

790
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: whole setup. I mean, you can get the case, you

791
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: can get a little holder for your car so you

792
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: can do wireless in your car. I mean, there's a

793
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: lot of things you can do with this. This is

794
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: the one I know about. But it's b A B

795
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: e Z A L e L dot Co Bezl And yeah,

00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: so and I've tried it. It's the case is really nice.

798
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: It's like a it's a pretty slick case, so it's

799
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: not like a giant case that you have to put

800
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: on your phone. So but yeah, you can add the

801

Speaker 1: I want to tell you about Super Mario Cereal. How

809
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: cool is this? Nintendo and Kellogg's teaming up for Super

810
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: Mario Odyssey Cereal. Well, Super Mario Cereal. So I've been

811
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: playing the heck out of this Super Mario Odyssey game.

812
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: My little six year old is obsessed with this game.

813
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: So I've been playing it by de Fall as well,

814
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: and I think it's fun. I mean, this is I

815
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: haven't played a Mario game in a while. This is

816
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: just so much fun. Right now, we're on the gosh,

817
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: what are we on the deep Woods world or whatever

818
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: it's called to one that's all wooded. So if you're

819
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: playing it. You know, you know what I'm talking about.

820
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, so basically coming out on December eleventh will

821
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: be limited edition cereal. Now look, this is not healthy cereal.

822
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: This is Lucky Charms that looks like Super Mario. So

823
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't care. I mean, don't, don't, you know, kill

824
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: me for telling you about this sugar filled cereal. I

825
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: survived eating eating it as a kid. I think you'll survive.

826
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 1: And so no big deal. I mean, come on, let's

827
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: live a little bit. You can have your you can

828
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: go back to your special k after you, you know,

829
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: get off your soapbox. So don't don't don't be mad

830
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: at me for telling you about a sugar filled cereal.

831
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about this cereal is that not

832
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: only is it gonna be sweet and delicious and filled

833
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: with sugar, but you can tap the cereal box on

834
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: the Nintendo Switch system. It acts like an ambo. So

835
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: if you're familiar with Nintendo amibos, are these little amibo.

836
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: It's not plural. Amibo is a little character that you

837
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: can tap on the Nintendo system and you can, you know,

838
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: save your life whatever. You can do a lot of

839
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: different things with these little characters. Kind of like an

840
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: NFC chip inside that makes these work. But when you

841
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: tap the Cereal box to the switch game, you will

842
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: get gold coins or a heart, so that's pretty cool.

843
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes you need that extra heart when you're playing

844
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: Super Mario Odyssey because yeah, there's some times that I've

845
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: had to cheat because I couldn't find my way out

846
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: of a world. I don't want to admit it, but yeah, anyway,

847
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: December eleventh, and I don't want to get ahead of myself,

848
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: but I do believe I'm getting a box of this

849
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: next week, ahead of some people, so I can't wait.
