00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: tracking app, how to turn your old devices into a

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: costco shopping spree. And the iPhone bug that crashes your

Speaker 1: know about. It's also the place where I answer your

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: questions about technology. I believe that tech should be interesting,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: useful and fun. Let's open up those phone lines at

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,520

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: we've got a sheish Agarwall. He is going to talk

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: about the Jubilee TV. This is a streaming device designed

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: with seniors in mind. The twist is that a caregiver

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: can pretty much control the entire TV remotely, so everything

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: from the streaming services to the channel to the volume

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: to the close captions. It's a whole new concept. We'll

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: have him talk about that. Later in the show. We've

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: got author Julio Vincent Gambudo. He's going to discuss his

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: new book, Please unsubscribe. Thanks, this will help you reclaim

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: your time and purpose in the digital age. And later,

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: US News Vehicle editor Zach Dole is going to talk

29
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: about Tesla's cyber truck. He's going to give an objective assessment.

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: I know you've seen it on the road. You have thoughts,

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: We have thoughts, he has thoughts. We'll talk about all

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: of that. Welcome to the show. Just watching the news

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: and these NASA astronauts that are stranded in outer space

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: pretty wild. I mean they're not calling them stranded, but

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: they're pretty much stranded. Their trip was supposed to be

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: eight days, they've already spent eighty and now they're gonna

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: spend an extra six months. So you're talking an eight

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: day trip turned into an eight month trip and they're

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: not back yet. By the way, can you imagine now,

40
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: if you're on vacation in Hawaii, sure, bring it on.

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: I mean you'd be broke by the end of that time.

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: But at least to be fun.

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: But you're in space, and I'm sure there's a little

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: bit of like hesitation and wondering, like is this all

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: gonna work out?

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: Let's hope it does.

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, they've already been up there

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: for eighty days, and I guess there's some I don't know,

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: some sort of failures on this starliner. It's gonna return

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: unmanned because of these thruster failures and helium weeks. So

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up using this SpaceX dragon for return.

52
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: SpaceX interesting. Anyway, they'll be coming back in February twenty

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: twenty five now, so I hope they packed a lot

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: of food for them. I mean, I know the what

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: do they drink up their tang remember that? Oh my gosh. Anyway,

56
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: we're thinking of you. Hope you got hope you can

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: download Netflix up there. That's all I have to say. Like,

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what their situation is, like what are

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: the creature comforts when you're in space just floating around?

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: And I know it takes a toll on the human

61
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: body as well, So we are thinking of you. And

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: it's just I was talking about this with my kids

63
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: the other day, because you know, we were just talking

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: about this whole, this situation before we knew what the

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: end result was going to be, and it's just like,

66
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: can you imagine being in space for all that time?

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: No?

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: I couldn't.

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: All right, this week hopped around the nation, thankfully, I

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: took transportation that is much more proven, just an airplane.

71
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I was in Newport Beach and then I went to

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: New York City. So in Newport Beach stayed at this

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I mean, you don't realize what these

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: car companies do. They They have these trips that these

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: journalists go on, and there's pretty much one going on

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world at any given time. They invite

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: all these journals lists and they bring them in, they

78
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: put them up at these places. What was a place

79
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: called It's called Pelican Hill Resort, the nicest place I've

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: ever been in my entire life. Stayed there for two

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: nights part of this Volvo drive Valvo EX ninety. This

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: is their new flagship seven seater all electric suv. It's

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of tech features, got these thor hammer headlights.

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Now I had to look that up because I thought

85
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: it was like a movie marketing thing, but no, it's

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: actually just I guess thor is a thing before the movies,

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: like from back in the day. And so you know,

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I've got these cool headlights that kind of opening close. Anyway,

89
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: first Volvo car with lidar, So they made a big

90
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: deal out of this. I guess that's why they invited

91
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: me there. But this car is going to collect data

92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: and it's eventually going to be able to drive itself.

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: So right now, when they put this car in the road,

94
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: it's just going to be in a collection phase. So

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: anyone who buys this thing is going to be helping

96
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: Volvo train their self driving autonomous driving software. They didn't

97
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: give me a timeline on when this car is going

98
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: to be able to drive itself fully, but they said, yes,

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: that is the point. This car will eventually be able

100
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: to drive itself. That's a big deal. So I know

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: we heard this week that Ford was pulling back on

102
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: its big electric suv. Talk more about that later in

103
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: the show, but they're moving on with this one. This

104
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: is eighty thousand bucks, gets about three hundred miles on

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: a range on a charge, I should say, which was fine,

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: but I really think the sweet spot for cars these

107
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: evs is really four hundred miles to not feel that

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: range anxiety, because realistically, let's put it this way, when

109
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: you get three hundred miles on an electric car, you're

110
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: really only supposed to charge that to eighty percent. So

111
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: do the math. You're not getting three hundred on a

112
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: full charge. You're really getting less than that. And then

113
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: as soon as you drive that car a little bit,

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: even though it says to eighty, it's going to drop

115
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: down to like two seventy two sixty when you start driving.

116
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: So you have to keep all of this in mind,

117
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: and that's why the electric cars are very controversial in

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: certain circles. Went to New York City for a company

119
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: called x GMI. This is a smart projector company, and

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I got to say, really really cool stuff they came

121
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: out with. They showed us all these new products, a

122
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: bunch of tech people in attendance. Their whole thing is

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: they make these projectors that are really small, portable and bright,

124
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: and the best feature about them is auto keystone. So

125
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: if you've ever set up a projector in your life,

126
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: you know that it's a problem because you have to

127
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: move it, adjust it up and down, get the picture

128
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: just right, you're kind of adjusting the edges. Well, these

129
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: do everything automatically, so not only does it find the

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: size of the screen that you're aiming it at and

131
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: adjust to that, but it also straightens the image. And

132
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: so it's just super simple to set up and very portable,

133
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: and the models start around three hundred bucks. But just

134
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 1: ex Jimmy is the company again, by the way, really

135
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: really nice stuff they're coming out. They super portable projector that.

136
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Of course, once you see it, you're like, oh, I

137
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: want that in my life. I'm gonna have that my

138
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: suitcase every time I travel so I can just watch

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: movies on my hotel room, you know wall.

140
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: But that's a cool thing too. These tech events.

141
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like you just go and it's

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: all fun and games, right, but it really is amazing

143
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: to hang out with all the tech people you know,

144
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: in the same place, from all the different cities in

145
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: the world and just swap stories, talk chat, compare notes.

146
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean everyone at this event, not only the Volvo

147
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: event in Newport Beach, but also in the New York

148
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: City event. Now, the car people I'm not as familiar with.

149
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: I know a bunch of them, but the tech people.

150
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: I know a lot of them, and it's like you

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: sit there and you're talking about the latest phones, the

152
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: latest gadgets, what you like, what you don't like, and

153
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: it's stuff like of course you can do it on

154
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, Twitter and stuff, but being in person obviously

155
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: adds a much better layer to things. So and not

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: just that, but you also get face to face time

157
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: with the representatives from the companies, and so you learn

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: more about this stuff on a level that you're not

159
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: gonna get from a press release. You know, it's it's

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: much more intimate, it's much more just per you know,

161
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: just driven by face to face communication, which I know

162
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: is such a weird concept in our world.

163
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: AI.

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Let me talk about AI, because of course I'm always

165
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: using AI in new and different ways. And I'll tell

166
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: you about three ways I used AI this week to

167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: help me find wine that I like on a menu,

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: to help me build a salad, and to help me

169
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: find what to order on a menu. I know it

170
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: all sounds very weird, but stick with me. So AI

171
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: in everyday life, wine win. When you are presented with

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: a wine menu, if you're drinking wine at a restaurant,

173
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: it is the most complex, like you know, thing you

174
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: could ever imagine, because how do you buy it? Do

175
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: you buy it by price? Do you buy it by

176
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: what you know? Ninety nine percent of the wines on

177
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: that list you're probably never going to recognize, and they're

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: all overpriced.

179
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: You don't know you know what you're getting. So here's

180
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: what I did.

181
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: I told the AI that the couple of wines that

182
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: I know I like right like the brand names. And

183
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, now I'm going to show you a menu,

184
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: tell me which one I should get based on what

185
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: I like. And so I took a picture of the menu.

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: You upload it to AI.

187
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: It already knows what you like, and it spits out

188
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: the wines that it things you should order. Brilliant.

189
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: I think this is going to change the way I

190
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: order stuff at restaurants forever, because I'm going to keep

191
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: programming it to get it better and better. And then

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: by the way, I can say, give me a bottle,

193
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, under fifty dollars, or give me a glass

194
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: under you know, ten dollars, or give me the cheapest

195
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: wine you think that I'm gonna like on this menu.

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like AI really in use salad,

197
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: I went to a salad place, one of those places

198
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: where you like choose your own salad, and I was like,

199
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: you know what, let me try having my AI build

200
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: a healthy salad. So I uploaded all the ingredients that

201
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: you can choose from and I said, what I like,

202
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, I want high protein, you know whatever, And

203
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: I said, build me a salad. And by the way,

204
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: don't use any of the premium products. You know, like

205
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, you get upsold by like certain things that

206
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: they add your salad that's expensive.

207
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: And sure enough, it picked out the stuff and it

208
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: built the salad.

209
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: It it used kale as the base, which was like, okay,

210
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I had to like power through a kale salad, but

211
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: it was still I thought it was pretty interesting.

212
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: But here's the funniest part. When I went to pick

213
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: up the salad.

214
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Instead of salmon, which by the way, I did splurge for,

215
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: they put salami. Because I guess nobody's ordering salmon in

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: their salad, so they gave me salami, and I said, thankfully.

217
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: I checked the order before I left and they replaced it.

218
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: And then when it comes to the.

219
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Menu of the restaurant, So if you're looking for certain things,

220
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,239
Speaker 1: let's say you have, you know, sodium issues or cholesterol

221
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: issues or saturated fat. You want heart healthy, same thing.

222
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: You tell AI what you want and then you upload

223
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: the picture of the menu and you say, hey, give

224
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: me my best choices here. You know, maybe you don't

225
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: like fish, maybe you like steak, whatever it is, and

226
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: it will tell you. And the thing about AI, I

227
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: get that a lot of times. It's kind of like

228
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: just making stuff up, so you have to be aware

229
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: of that. But it also is giving you, like really

230
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: good information about the stuff on this menu. It says, hey,

231
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, watch out for that. Like this yesterday it

232
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: was like breakfast and it was like avocado toast, which

233
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: I thought was healthy, and it's like, oh, just got

234
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: to be careful. Sometimes it's got a lot of saturated fat,

235
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: so you got to be careful with how much you

236
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: eat or look at the cream on the side or

237
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: this or that. So I'm not saying you have to

238
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: use this every time. I'm not saying you got to,

239
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: you know, change your whole life. But I just thought

240
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: it was kind of cool. Some new uses of AI

241
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: in everyday life eight to eight rich one O one

242
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero.

243
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: One give me a call if you have a question

244
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: about technology.

245
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: You are listening to Rich on Tech. Welcome back to

246
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging out with you

247
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: talking technology at Triple eight Rich one oh one. That's

248
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: eight eight eight seven four to two four one zero one. Well,

249
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: California became the fifth state that lets you add your

250
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: driver's license to uh your phone. This is actually it's

251
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: interesting because last week I talked about how Apple said

252
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: they were going to do this, but then Android leapfrog them,

253
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: and so if you have an Android phone in California,

254
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: you can now add your state ID or driver's license

255
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: to Google Wallet, but you can't use it for a

256
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff.

257
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: It's mostly TSA checkpoints right now.

258
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

259
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: But California joins Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland and offering

260
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: this capability. Five hundred thousand folks have already done this

261
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: in California through the DMV's old program, which is m

262
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: what do they call it, my driver's I don't know.

263
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: It's like my driver my digital driver's license or something.

264
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: But now you can add it to your Google Wallet.

265
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: So it's only limited to one point five million people

266
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: at this point because it's a pilot program, so if

267
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: you haven't done it, you can do it. I did

268
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: not do this just yet because I'm kind of you know,

269
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: I've got two phones that I use primarily, an iPhone

270
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: and Android, and so I'm curious if I add it

271
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: to the Android.

272
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: Am I not able to add it to the iPhone?

273
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, if you want to do it, just go

274
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: to your Android device, open up Google Wallet and then

275
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: you'll see where it says add to wallet in the

276
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: lower right hand corner, and then you tap ID card

277
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: and then it says fly through TSA and then you'll

278
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 1: see it says select which state issued your ID Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia,

279
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: and Maryland. So you can if you're in one of

280
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: those five states, add your your card to your phone. Again,

281
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: you can't really use it in many places, but hey,

282
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: this is a start, and I think it's amazing if

283
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: we can actually get to the point where our license

284
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: can be on our phone. It's actually way more private

285
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: than carrying a regular license. So we'll see what happens there.

286
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard in my home state of New Jersey.

287
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: Richard drawn with rich Hey, rich Pleasure in an honor

288
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 5: to speak to you.

289
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for Colin. What can I help with?

290
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 5: Okay, here's my scenario. I splurged. I got the lg

291
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 5: OLED seventy seven inch TV top of the line, went

292
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 5: for the top of the line with the Sonos the

293
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 5: Art sound bar, big sub warfare for your speakers. I'm

294
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: almost blind, so when I turn on channel I have

295
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: Exfinity through Comcast, I needed to tell me what's on

296
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 5: the channel. And it's always done that good. After their

297
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 5: last update, it comes out so freaking out the whole

298
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: house shape.

299
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.

300
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 5: I should contact them to adjust it. No idea when

301
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: you're in and if you have any no.

302
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.

303
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: I was just telling my wife last night that I'm

304
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: ready to throw my Sonos system out the window because

305
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: they have ruined it.

306
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: It is actually ruined.

307
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: I've had Sonos for about over I don't know, ten

308
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: years now, and I absolutely love it.

309
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm one of the biggest fans.

310
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: And they ruined the devices with the latest software update.

311
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: This happened maybe a couple months ago, and they came

312
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: out with the new app that changed everything. I don't

313
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: know if you've seen the new app, but it's horrible.

314
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 6: Yes, I have it.

315
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: I don't like it.

316
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just terrible.

317
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: And then they said, you know, they came out with

318
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: a blog post with the CEO saying, look, we're going

319
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: to fix this in the next six months. Six months.

320
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Who can wait six months? So what you're experiencing is

321
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: what I'm experiencing. Nothing is working the way it's supposed

322
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: to be working. I don't know what they did, what

323
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: they changed, but nothing in my house. Last night, I

324
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: turn on music while we were you know, before eating dinner,

325
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: and I went to close out the app, and co course,

326
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: the volume doesn't respond anymore on the app for some

327
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: reason or it's delayed, and then all of a sudden,

328
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I touched something on my phone. The volume went to

329
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: a thousand degrees. So it'splasting through my house. The kids

330
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: start yelling like, Hey.

331
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: What's happening.

332
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 7: What's happening.

333
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know, I know, can't turn the volume down.

334
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: So Richard, I think this is a matter of you're

335
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to just wait until this app gets better.

336
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: My question is is it the volume just from the TV?

337
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Is it something that the TV is doing like a

338
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: voice volume? It's doing or something.

339
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: Well, it's just the TV's volume that comes through the

340
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: arc when I'm not watching a regular channel. It's fine

341
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 5: when I changed the channel, and again when Xfinity tells

342
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 5: me what it's coming on, that's when it's loud. I

343
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 5: even contacted, so no, so of course I just got

344
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 5: to run around.

345
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: Through there in another country.

346
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, that you know, it sits and it's frustrating.

347
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of, and this is

348
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: what I typically do in a situation like this, is

349
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: go through the like every single setting in the settings

350
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: and see if there's anything specific for because what's happening

351
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: is there's like two you know, in your car when

352
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: you're when you're like listening to music, and then like

353
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Google Maps pops in and does like the voice Sometimes

354
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: that voice volume is different, like a different level than

355
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: the music volume, and the only time you can adjust

356
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: it is while that music are they sorry, this assistant

357
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: voice is like currently on. So I'm wondering if that's

358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: the case here, like while this while this Infinity box

359
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: is speaking, maybe there's a way that you can go

360
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: into the app and turn down the volume while that

361
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: box is speaking, and that's separate from the TV volume.

362
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: But that's the only thing I can think of. I

363
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: think that this is just a matter of this entire

364
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: system is just not working right now. And I'm I

365
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: can't tell you how much I went from loving Sonos

366
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: to actually hating them, Like I physically can't stand having

367
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: it in my house anymore.

368
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm so invested in it.

369
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I've got speakers in every one in my house, in

370
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: every one of my rooms, and I just can't even

371
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: use them like I now have resorted to using like

372
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: my phone, my laptop, my uh you know, I'll just

373
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: use like the Google Home speaker. Not as good as

374
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: the soos. But Richard, I feel your pain. I hope

375
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: that we get a fix here very very soon. Anyway,

376
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: thanks for calling from New Jersey today. Appreciate it. It was

377
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: just there, well in New York. I landed in New

378
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: York though, that counts all right. Coming up, we're gonna

379
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: tell you about the Jubilee TV. This is a new

380
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: set top box design with senior citizens in mind. This

381
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: is rich On Tech.

382
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: Welcome back to rich On Tech.

383
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you, talking technology at

384
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: Triple eight rich one oh one. That's eight eight eight

385
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: seven four two four one zero one. We'll get back

386
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: to the phone lines in just a moment, but first

387
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm in Hollywood. Joining me now is CEO and co

388
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: founder of Jubilee TV, A sheish Auger Wall.

389
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for joining me, Rich, glad to be here.

390
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: So let's talk about what is Jubilee TV.

391
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 8: Uh Doubi TV is a product that allows families to

392
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 8: remotely take care and connect with their seniors aging in

393
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 8: their own home through the device that seniors are most

394
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 8: familiar with, which is the TV. For seniors, it simplifies

395
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 8: the TV experience and for families, it allows them to

396
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 8: use an app that they can see what's on the TV,

397
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 8: be their tech support, fix anything on the TV, put

398
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 8: content live stream from their phone, do video calls, and

399
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 8: even keep a watchful eye on their TV watching habits

400
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 8: and movement for an extra piece of mind.

401
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: So from what I've seen here, it's basically a box

402
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: kind of like a streaming set top box, but this

403
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: does not actually have streaming capabilities built in.

404
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: You connect your inputs to this box.

405
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: So think about a set top box that has a

406
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: camera on it. It's got some inputs on the back,

407
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: it's got an output and all this stuff kind of

408
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: comes into the box.

409
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: It displays on the TV.

410
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: But the genius part here is that you, as a

411
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: caregiver or a loved one, can.

412
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: Actually not only see what's on their.

413
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: TV screen remotely from your phone, you can also control

414
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: pretty much everything from turning the TV on to the volume,

415
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: changing the channel, and it's all highly personalized. What was

416
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: sort of the reason you came.

417
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 8: Up with this, Yeah, Rich, Jubilee TV is a very

418
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 8: personal endeavor for me. I was always a TV guy.

419
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 8: You know that Apple Harmon made a lot of TV products.

420
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 8: But during COVID, I felt really disconnected with my parents

421
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 8: and my in laws, and my thought kept on coming

422
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 8: back to TV. Why isn't there a device that connects

423
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 8: my safe place which is the phone, to their safe place,

424
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 8: which is the TV.

425
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 9: That was the birth of Jubilee TV.

426
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 8: And then we went really deep, like we have over

427
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 8: seventy patterns, We really really you know this product guys

428
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 8: who want to make product really amazing, and we bridge

429
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 8: that gap.

430
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: And so you've got this this app for the I

431
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: call the caregiver a loved one's phone where lets you

432
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: not only see what's on their TV screen, but also

433
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: control it has that ever been done before?

434
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 8: And no, it hasn't been done before, and I think

435
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 8: it will be a while before somebody else manages to

436
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 8: capture this because there's so many devices, so many different setups,

437
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 8: so many different types of TVs. We can go back

438
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 8: to any TV you want, any device and connect it

439
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 8: and control it, and there are various control protocols.

440
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 9: How do you master all of that?

441
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 8: It took us years after which now we've come to

442
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 8: a point where it's a very simple app. And somebody

443
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 8: mentioned simplicity is the key. A very simple big button

444
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 8: interface for seniors and a simple app that lets you

445
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 8: do powerful things.

446
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: So the idea being that, let's say you live in

447
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, your mother, father lives in New York, and

448
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: they have a problem with their TV. You know, the

449
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: input has changed, or the Roku box is not showing Netflix,

450
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: it's showing Hulu, and or maybe Hulu got logged out.

451
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: You were able to control and really assist them from

452
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: afar not only physically change the input or anything like that,

453
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: but you.

454
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: Can even type in on screen if you need to.

455
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 9: Right, yeah, you could do like somebody said, magic on this.

456
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 10: Right.

457
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 8: We had one person call and said, my mom called

458
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 8: and said, my language is Spanish on my set to

459
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 8: the box?

460
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 9: How do I change it?

461
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 11: Now?

462
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 8: That person would have to fly four hundred miles to

463
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 8: fix that issue. I'm pretty sure. So is that with

464
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 8: your box we were just able to change the language

465
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 8: back to English. So anything you can think, but not

466
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 8: just fixing TVs. You could put shows you know that

467
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 8: your mom would want to watch or your parents would

468
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 8: want to watch. You can make TV really more interesting.

469
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 8: You could also program it such that at a certain

470
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 8: time TV turns on and plays.

471
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 9: The content you want to watch.

472
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 8: So there's a user whose father just wants to watch

473
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 8: baseball a local team at the first of the month.

474
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 8: He programs the box for the rest of the month

475
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 8: to turn on the TV and watch your favorite show.

476
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 9: So those moments are really really interesting, you know.

477
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 8: And TV, now the loudest speaker, the largest becomes a

478
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 8: very powerful connection surface and.

479
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: It goes much deeper than just TV.

480
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: It's also a way to connect because you have built

481
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: in video calling, you have built in messaging, you have

482
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: built in photo sharing and also video sharing, and like

483
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: you said, the live streaming, So explain some of those

484
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: features as well.

485
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, once we had built this, you know, as

486
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 8: you said, very powerful interface where you could see the

487
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 8: TV and control it. We started to extend that to connection.

488
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 8: So the first use case was content, which is what

489
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 8: TV is about. The next one is trying to take

490
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 8: care of social isolation. Seniors want to age in their

491
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 8: own home. They often feel isolated. You want to go

492
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 8: visit them, but you can't as much as you're juggling

493
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 8: with other responsibilities. So we build this connection layer very

494
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 8: powerful messaging, reminders, photo sharing, video sharing, video calling that

495
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 8: allows you to really drop in and seniors to experience

496
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 8: those moments. So that was the second layer were built in.

497
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: And then there's another layer of kind of safety and security,

498
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: so you can have an activity feed of hey, we

499
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: noticed that something was unusual. You get I guess the

500
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: camera snapshot of things that happen in front of the

501
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: camera on the device, like if someone else is in

502
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: the room. I even saw on the app where it said, hey,

503
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: there are currently two people standing in front of the box.

504
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: So if there's only one person in that house at

505
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: all times and you're like, why is there a second?

506
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: This box can help you uncover those mysteries as well.

507
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, Rich, So the third layer of This is what

508
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 8: we call activity feed.

509
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 9: You can see patterns evolve.

510
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 8: If you look at Apple Watch six months later, it

511
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 8: will say hey, if you observe this pattern with you. Similarly,

512
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 8: our box takes care of TV watching and camera and

513
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 8: microphone patterns and analyzes them locally on the box. That

514
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 8: allows to indicate to families if something is unusual and

515
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 8: allows you to keep a watchful eye. And Mom didn't

516
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 8: turn on the TV by ten am, something must be

517
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 8: wrong because mom always turns on the TV. Mom didn't

518
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 8: turn off the TV that night, I better watch. So

519
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 8: all those notifications are super powerful in you trying to

520
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 8: remotely take care of your loved one, including movement, voice

521
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 8: in the room, the camera, all then locally, it's an

522
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 8: extremely powerful Edji box that does this.

523
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: And you also mentioned reminders. So can you have a

524
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: reminder pop up on screen that says, hey, it's ten am.

525
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: Time take this medicine?

526
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 9: Yeah?

527
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 8: So reminders is yet another powerful feature. Because as I mentioned,

528
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 8: TV is the loudest speaker and the largest screen, and

529
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 8: we have full control over it. You can choose to

530
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 8: set reminders and you could even force on those reminders

531
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 8: that the senior has to acknowledge and takes a picture

532
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 8: during that right, so you can choose what degree do

533
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 8: you want to go into. So if mom has to

534
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 8: take this medicine at ten am, if she misses it

535
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 8: by twenty minutes, then she's in trouble. You better force

536
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 8: the reminder and force that that reminder has to be

537
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 8: dismissed and you get a notification. If that reminder wasn't dismissed,

538
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 8: then alarm bells can go on. So it really becomes

539
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 8: a mission critical device at that point.

540
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: It feels like it mixes some other technologies that I've

541
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: played with in the past, like sling box for instance,

542
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: for viewing kind of like the TV screen anywhere in

543
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: the world from your phone, that universal remote aspect. So

544
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: tell me all those things kind of come together in

545
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: this box. How tough was all of that to bring together?

546
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Because you're talking about controlling a Roku or controlling a

547
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: fire TV stick, controlling different models of television.

548
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, Riich, it's it's amazing that you actually got all

549
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 8: of this because the founding team, and I want to

550
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 8: give a shout out to Blake Krekorian was a Slingbox

551
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 8: co founder and two days ago was when he passed

552
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 8: a few years ago. So and he's one of the

553
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 8: co founders of this company.

554
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 9: Or was right.

555
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 8: So that's how and I made one of the first

556
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 8: universal remote controls. So that's exactly you see all these

557
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 8: elements coming in together that made this happen.

558
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 9: Yes, it was really difficult. It requires a lot of expertise.

559
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 8: We have over I think now seventy patents on this

560
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 8: seven years in working.

561
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 9: Nobody else could do this.

562
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 8: Everybody thought this is at least four other startups I

563
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 8: know started tried to do this, failed, gave up and

564
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 8: never released a product. And so it is really an

565
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 8: act of love. We are all engineers at heart. You

566
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 8: want to create great products, great experiences and make an

567
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 8: impact in this world.

568
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so the box is two hundred dollars. Where you

569
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: going to be able to get it? And there is

570
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: a monthly fee, So explain what that is and what

00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: the value is for that what people get for that fee.

Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that.

607
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 12: Quick question. I have an iPhone and as somebody mentioned

608
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 12: that I should have a VPN on my iPhone. Is

609
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 12: that possible or that's only for the computer? Uh?

610
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: No, you can absolutely have a VPN on the iPhone.

611
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: So it works. Uh, you know, you download the app

612
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: and you basically install it, sign up for a plan,

613
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: and it will it will install and work just like.

614
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: You know, anything else on the iPhone.

615
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different because it's it's kind of

616
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: built into the settings on the iPhone.

617
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: But you can absolutely have a VPN on the iPhone.

618
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: So things to look for in a VPN, uh, you know,

619
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: it depends what you're using it for. But most of

620
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: the experts I speak with say, you want one that

621
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: has a no log policy, doesn't store or sell your

622
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: browsing data independent audit results. So on their website it

623
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: will say, hey, here's how we handle our data. Here's

624
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: someone else that checked it. Out and we check out

625
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: WireGuard protocol. That is a little bit faster of a connection.

626
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like a funny term, but that's

627
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: something to look for on the website. Make sure it

628
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: works across all your devices. So I know you're talking

629
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: about an iPhone, but you know, see if it works

630
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: on desktop computers as well. Bandwidth is obviously a consideration.

631
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: You want to have unlimited ideally because you want to

632
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: be able to use this as much as you want.

633
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: These things typically cost around five to ten dollars a month.

634
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: There are some free VPNs out there. The one that

635
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: I would recommend if you're looking for a free one

636
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: is Proton pro O t O N and they they

637
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: have a free level of their VPN and it's I

638
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit limited. You can use it

639
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: on one device, but that is one that you know

640
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: people do trust for the free level of support.

641
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: Does that help?

642
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 12: Is there another one that you recommend besides Proton one?

643
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: Now, so the the ones that have been recommended in

644
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: the past by experts on this show over and over.

645
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: There's one called IVPN so IVPN, and then MOLEVAD m

646
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: U L l V A D. But you know, there's

647
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: there's many VPNs out there. There's a lot of good ones.

648
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a matter of just looking for one

649
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: that fits the pricing that you want and the features

650
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: that you want. So, for instance, this molevad is basically

651
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: five dollars a month forever. Some of them try to

652
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: get you to pay more upfront and you know, maybe

653
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: get you to prepay for like three five years or sorry,

654
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: like three years at once or a year in advance.

655
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: So it just depends on you know, what you want,

656
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: what you're comfortable with, and you know, there you go.

657
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 12: Okay, I have With that being said, how can I

658
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 12: find out if somebody had had my iPhone or they

659
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 12: have access to my iPhone?

660
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: They don't, that's the short answer. Ninety nine per unless

661
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: the person is you know, FBI Special Operations, they do

662
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: not have access to your iPhone. People think that that

663
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: people get access to the iPhone. It's really tough, especially

664
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: remote access. It's just it's nearly impossible. I mean even

665
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: for law enforcement trying to get into people's phones if

666
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: they don't have the code, it is really really tricky.

667
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: The phones are encrypted unless they have you your password

668
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: or you know your login information.

669
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: Or your past code. It's really really tough.

670
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 7: You know.

671
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: I'd be more concerned about Instagram listening to your conversations

672
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: because I do see that happen on a daily basis,

673
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: where you mentioned something to a friend and next thing

674
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: you know it is there's an AD on your phone

675
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: for it. So, but Mary, if you're concerned about anything

676
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: like that and you want to be more private on

677
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: your phone, a VPN is fine.

678
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: I think that it depends what you're doing.

679
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: But ninety nine point nine percent of the time, unless

680
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: you're really trying to cover your tracks, there's probably no

681
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: need for a VPN. If you're in a public place,

682
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: you're doing sensitive stuff like checking your email on a

683
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: public network or checking your you know, your banking account,

684
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that, you might want to use a VPN.

685
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: But my typical recommendation is that if you're doing anything

686
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: super private on your computer, do it on a cellular

687
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: connection versus a public Wi Fi hotspot connection. Let's go

688
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: to Gary in San Antonio, Texas. Gary, you're on with rich.

689
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 14: Ty Right, Hi, I got a I got rid of

690
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 14: my I've one six, got a fifteen plus bro and

691
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 14: this thing runs hot. I mean, it won't even charge

692
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 14: all the past eighty percent unless you put it in

693
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 14: a cool spot, and whether it's sit you know, I was,

694
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 14: so even getting a charge to one hundred percent, it

695
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 14: is hard to do. And I'm wondering why it's running

696
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 14: so hot.

697
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: Well, where where are you charging it? Like, are you

698
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: charging it on the dashboard in your car or is

699
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: this at home plugged in?

700
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 11: At home plugged in?

701
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: And what charger are you using?

702
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Using the one that came with it, or using a

703
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: like a third party like when you got like a

704
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: convenience store.

705
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 14: What No, I didn't get a charger with it, but

706
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 14: we bought a set of chargers that they're quick chargers, okay.

707
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: And are they high quality?

708
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, far as I know.

709
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: Okay.

710
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: Well, so when the iPhone fifteen Pro first came out, yes,

711
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: it did run hot and there were some issues, but

712
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: that was fixed within the first couple of months. And

713
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: so you should not be having this phone run hot.

714
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Now I get it. It is the summer. I had

715
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: my phone in the car charging wirelessly, and yes, it

716
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: does heat up, you know, to a certain extent, depending

717
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: on the weather and the temperature and things like that.

718
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: And you also want to make sure that you're charging

719
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: your phone on a table, not on a bed, not

720
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: on anything that's fabric. You know, you want this phone

721
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: to be able to bathe a little bit, because when

722
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: you do charge a device, it's it's going to pick

723
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: up some heat. Now, a lot of that heat is

724
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: typically dissipated by the plug on the wall versus the phone.

725
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: You know, the phones managed kind of that system. So

726
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: if you're using a charger that's really cheap or something

727
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: that's you know, you know, something that's third party that's

728
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: not very good, it could run hotter and it could

729
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: just not be managing the heat properly.

730
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 14: So yeah, the sense I bought was Nanima.

731
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I haven't heard of that one, so I

732
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: mean that could be a problem. Is this happening with

733
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: every phone that you charge on this charger or just

734
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: this one?

735
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 14: I like charge to one and uh, that's the only

736
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 14: thing I run an iHeart radio like going for seven?

737
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: Okay, are you running something while you're charging it? Are

738
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: you are you running something on the phone? Are you

739
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: streaming it twenty four to seven while you're charging it?

740
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

741
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 14: I might have I art running overdoing blue dude.

742
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I love that you're listening to iHeart all day.

743
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 2: That's that.

744
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but I think that could be part

745
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: of it. So, you know, phones they do have you know,

746
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: the management in them for heat management, and they have

747
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: gotten better over the years and they do. But if

748
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: you're running something twenty four to seven on it, no

749
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: matter what it is, the phone's going to heat up,

750
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: and so it shouldn't be it shouldn't be hot to

751
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: the touch where it's like unusable. But a small level

752
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: of heat on the phone if you're if you're running

753
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: something on it, if the screen's on all day, if

754
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: you're charging it all day, that definitely is a possibility.

755
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: I personally, if this phone is new, would take it

756
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: to the Apple store just to have them do a

757
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: check up on it. They could run some diagnostics, make

758
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: sure that it's all on the up and up, especially

759
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: while you're in that warranty period.

760
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 2: Gary, thanks for listening.

761
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,879

771
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: digital world.

772
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

773
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I'm reading a book right now.

774
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: Let's see. It's called The Anxious Generation.

775
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: And I'm a little late on this, but man, I

776
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: want to throw all my tech out the window for

777
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: my kids. It's just all about how kids are inundated

778
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: with technology and they can't stop. You know, their little

779
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: brains are just not programmed to figure out how to

780
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: stop scrolling on Instagram, or how to stop playing video games,

781
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: or how to stop visiting you know, those websites on

782
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: the web. You know what I'm talking about. So really

783
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: eye opening. I'm only halfway through, but I can't. I'm

784
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: like hanging on every word of this book. And I

785
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: tell my kids when I get home, like go outside,

786
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: play with worms like I used to do. Just go

787
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: just get dirt, just go go do something dangerous.

788
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: I don't even care.

789
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: Just go like we did dangerous stuff as kids, Like

790
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, I used to climb fences like you, bobo,

791
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: do you know how to hop a fence?

792
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: Like when I was a kid, it was so dangerous.

793
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: You'd hop a fence and your fear was like getting

794
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: caught on the top or getting your foot caught and falling.

795
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: Do you know how to hop a fence? I got

796
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: your beat.

797
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: I jumped a roof so, oh okay, I have notts

798
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: one that's I don't like heights, so I would not

799
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: be up I went out a roof like once. My dad,

800
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, he runs a roofing company, so he's always

801
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: on roofs. He brought me up once, so I'm just like, nope,

802
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: never mind, don't need to be up here. We had

803
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: back in the day.

804
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 15: We didn't have video games like online games, so we

805
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 15: took bikes and went around the neighborhood. It was a

806
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 15: school by my grandmother's house, and we found it way

807
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 15: on a roof.

808
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: It was like, y'all, let's jump.

809
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 15: Okay, what's your jump to from the top of a

810
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 15: one floor building to the grass?

811
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 2: Oh wow?

812
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 15: Yeah, just to see who was all chicken? Yeah it

813
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 15: was just a chicken chat. Now I look at it

814
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 15: like I was stupid, but yeah, so fun in a moment,

815
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 15: but it makes you who you are.

816
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: It makes it makes you who you are nowadays. This

817
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: the thesis of this book, as I'm understanding, is that

818
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: kids don't take any chances because it's all virtual and

819
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: there's no chance. In the virtual world you can do

820
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: whatever you want. You just get another life, you know

821
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: what I mean. But in real world, if you hop

822
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: that fence or jump that roof and you got hurt,

823
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: you're never gonna do it again.

824
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: You probably never did it again anyway. I never jumped

825
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: off the other roofs. You don't need to.

826
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: He did it once anyway. I'm not saying to jump

827
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: off roofs. Please do not do that anyway. So, uh yeah,

828
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: one of the things, and I'll get to the calls

829
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: in just a moment here.

830
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 2: One of the things that I was trying to find.

831
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: You know, I travel a lot, and I'm always trying

832
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: to find, like the best restaurant that's close to where

833
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: I'm staying. And so I was going to New York

834
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: City and I wanted a restaurant to meet my family

835
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: at who's from New Jersey, and so there's got to

836
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: be a way, you know.

837
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I used to use YELP. I don't really use yelp

838
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: much anymore.

839
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: But so I was like, Okay, let me figure out

840
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: a way to find like a good restaurant that's close

841
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 1: to my hotel. So here's what I figured out. Number one,

842
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: you got to go to Google Maps on the desktop.

843
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: This doesn't work as well on the phone, but if

844
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: you go to Google Maps on the desktop, you search

845
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: for where you're staying, so whether that's a hotel, someone's house, whatever,

846
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: and then once you search for that and that pops up,

847
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: you get these things up at the top says nearby hotels.

848
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why you need another hotel if you're

849
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: staying at a nearby If you're staying at a hotel, restaurants,

850
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: things to do, bars, coffee, whatever, you tap restaurants and

851
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: that will bring up all the restaurants that are within

852
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: a fifteen minute walking distance of your hotel. And then

853
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: you can go through and further refine so you can

854
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: do the price. You could do one dollar, sign up

855
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: to four. You can do rating, which I would do

856
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: four point five, just to make sure you're getting a

857
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: good place. Cuisine you can choose, you know, for me,

858
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: I wanted something that was Italian, so I just chose

859
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: Italian hours. You want to make sure that it's open,

860
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: you know, during lunch or dinner, whatever you're doing.

861
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: And then you.

862
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: Can sort by you know, you can see all the

863
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: places that are within walking distance to your hotel.

864
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 2: And it was great.

865
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: So I ended up choosing a restaurant that was like

866
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: literally six hundred feet from my hotel. We went there,

867
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: we had a great time. I'll say the food wasn't

868
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: like the best in the whole world.

869
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: It was fine.

870
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very picky about Italian food, but it

871
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: was great. And so now I have my new way.

872
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Now I do I said, I don't use Yelp, but

873
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: I will cross reference the restaurant on Yelp just to

874
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: be sure that's not getting like two stars or something

875
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: like that. So anyway, try it out. That's my new

876
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: method for finding a restaurant. Let's go to Richard in Menafee, California.

877
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: Richard, you're on with rich.

878
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 6: Oh rich How you doing good?

879
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: We had lots of rich lots of Richards on this show. Today,

880
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: you're the third Richard on this show. What can I

881
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: help you with?

882
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I need to replace my older LGV sixty phone

883
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 11: having charging issues with it, and I'm with Verizon and

884
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 11: they sent me a couple of offers in the last week.

885
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 11: One was for the Pixel pro XL for three dollars

886
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 11: and thirty three cents a month. It's like one thousand

887
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 11: dollars off.

888
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

889
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 11: And the other one is for the Samsung S twenty

890
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 11: four Ultra, which they'll do that one for me for

891
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 11: seventeen dollars a month. I'm gonna stay with Brydon, so

892
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 11: I don't care about the payments. So I wanted to

893
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 11: get your opinion on which would be the better phone.

894
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: So you're talking the new Pixel nine XL, is that right?

895
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 11: Yeah?

896
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow?

897
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: These are two These are two of the best phones

898
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: available right now, so and I have lots of thoughts

899
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: on them. So, but my question is what do you

900
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: want out of your phone? Because I have my thoughts

901
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: on which one is better for like the use case.

902
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: Are you like a extreme photographer? Are you just looking

903
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: for the best battery life? Do you want the best software?

904
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: What do you want out of your phone?

905
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 11: I was into photography for a while, but that seems

906
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 11: to have dropped off a little bit because that's I

907
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 11: wanted the S twenty four. The last year for the Zoom,

908
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 11: but I'm finding out I really don't you a zoom

909
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 11: that much anymore.

910
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: And the Pixel the nine pros has a five x

911
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: zoom and you can go up to thirty with the

912
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: with their super rezume, so it works really well. Here's

913
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 1: my thoughts. So I think that the Pixel nine pro

914
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: xcel is a great phone. I think for that three

915
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: dollars a month that you're talking to me, that seems

916
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: like a better value, even though it's not a lot.

917
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: You're only talking fourteen dollars, you know, over time. But

918
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: still I think that the Pixel is the better software

919
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: to me. But I think that the Samsung S twenty

920
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: four Ultra is probably overall the best Android phone out

921
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: there right now because it has it's a powerhouse, you know,

922
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: it's got the best processor, it's got the best screen,

923
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: it's got an excellent camera. I think that I prefer

924
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: the Pixel a little bit more in different ways, but

925
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: it's not as good overall. I think the S twenty

926
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: four Ultra is, like, you know, a better phone like specx. Wise, now,

927
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: I think that the Pixel is litle bit easier to

928
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: hold in your hand. It's a little bit smoother, a

929
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: little bit rounder edges. But you know, and I do

930
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: think I do prefer the Pixel software over the S

931
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: twenty four Ultra software. But I think that these are

932
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: two incredible devices.

933
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 11: I tend to keep my phone for a pretty long time,

934
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 11: so I'm thinking about the software updates for the for

935
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 11: both of the phones, which one will have to because

936
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 11: wonder them lasts like seven years of updates. Yeah that's

937
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 11: the Pixel phone.

938
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pixel is getting seven years of updates, but

939
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: I believe the S twenty four is also getting uh,

940
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: if not seven, it's getting pretty close to that. It's

941
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: been a it's been a while since I did this.

942
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: This was in January, but yes, S twenty four is

943
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: going to have seven years of updates as well. So

944
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, if I had to choose, I mean, I

945
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: think the battery life is excellent on the Pixel this year.

946
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: I think that the and I've used both of these

947
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: phones extensively, so I mean, I could.

948
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: It's tough.

949
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: It really comes down to like a preference of do

950
00:43:58,239 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: you like the Pixel software or do you like this

951
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: Amsung software.

952
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: I think that you've.

953
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 11: Never had the Pixel, so I don't know. My daughter

954
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 11: has one and she loves the play Well.

955
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: Maybe try the Pixel.

956
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, just see if you I think that the

957
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: software on the Pixel to me feels very very smart,

958
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: you're also now here's something that might push you over

959
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: the edge. The Pixel is also going to give you

960
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: two terabytes of online storage for a year for free,

961
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: plus their access to their Advanced AI Gemini their Best

962
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: Gemini AI for free for a year, which is a

963
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month value.

964
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 11: That's one thing I'm thinking about exploring is some of

965
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 11: the stuff that AI has to offer. I haven't done

966
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 11: it yet, but I'm starting to get tempted to the

967
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 11: point where I'm going to jump in.

968
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 9: Yeah.

969
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean, these are two of the best, and I

970
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: really it's it's just tough. If you want to try

971
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: the Pixel and you want to try that Google software,

972
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: it does have something a little bit special to it

973
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: because it does feel very like advanced. I always call

974
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: the Pixel the smartest smartphone out there, So you know,

975
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe give that one since it is cheaper. I'm surprised

976
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: it's cheaper than the Samsung, but maybe just give that

977
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: a chance and see what you think about it. But

978
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: if your daughter has one, it's also kind of nice

979
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: because if you have any questions you can ask her, hey,

980
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: how do.

981
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: You do this?

982
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 11: Thanks brother?

983
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: So, yeah, Richard, I think you're gonna be happy with

984
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: either of these devices. They are both really really good phones,

985
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: So thanks for the question. Speaking of smartphones, a new

986
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: bug in the iPhone causes it to crash immediately. This

987
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: is wild. Do not do this at home. I've done this.

988
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: You can look at the video on my Instagram if

989
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: you want to see what happens. But don't do this

990
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: because even though it's not a security issue, and even

991
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: though it doesn't seem to have any lasting repercussions on

992
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: your phone, I would still not do this. But if

993
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: you type, if you go into the app library and

994
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: you type quotation mark quotation mark colon colon, your device

995
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: crashes immediately. Now it's not a full crash, so it

996
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: doesn't like restart your entire phone, but it restarts what's

997
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: called the springboard, and that's basically their equivalent of the

998
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: launcher on the iPhone. So you can type into the

999
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: app library those four little characters, and yes, you will

1000
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: crash your phone. Don't do it. It's probably not worth it.

1001
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: I do it on my phone because I do it

1002
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: in your name. I do it to figure these things

1003
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: out and just to see how this stuff happens. Doesn't

1004
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: seem like there's any long term effects by doing this.

1005
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: But yes, there will be a software update from Apple

1006
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: to make sure that this is fixed, and that will

1007
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: probably come any day now, because we don't want crashing

1008
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: phones just by typing stuff in. How they figure this out?

1009
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: Someone just typed a whole bunch of random stuff into

1010
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: the phone and figured it out. I guess eighty eight

1011
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: rich one oh one eight eight eight seven four to

1012

1022
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: to you and sharing this information. People are always surprised

1023
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: when you just share like useful stuff, like they're like, oh, wow,

1024
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: nobody does that.

1025
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I do and.

1026
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: Every week been doing it for what is this episode

1027
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: number eighty six. We've done this eighty six times minus

1028
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: some of the days we've had some reruns. So but

1029
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, you still get good information unless you listened

1030
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: since day one to every single show. Even if you

1031
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 1: heard a rerun, which doesn't happen very often, you'd still

1032
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 1: get good information like this. Another data security incident. Flight Aware,

1033
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: an app that I have recommended on this show, says

1034
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: they had a data security incident and you'll have to

1035
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: reset your password. There was a configuration error on July

1036
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty twenty four, might have exposed users personal information.

1037
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: This includes your user ID, password, email address, and other

1038
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: account details. All potentially impacted users are required to reset

1039
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: their passwords, so the next time you try to log in,

1040
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: you'll have to reset your password. But here's the takeaway

1041
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: from this is again you cannot use the same password

1042
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 1: for different websites. So something like this website flight Aware,

1043
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, cool, I'll log in with this easy

1044
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: password because nobody cares about flight Aware. The problem is

1045
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: you might use that password on another website that someone

1046
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: does care about. So please use a strong password for

1047
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: every website that you go to that you sign up for.

1048
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: I know it takes a lot of work. I know

1049
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: it takes a little bit more effort, but it will

1050
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: pay off in the end because I can tell you

1051
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: there are websites where you can go to and I

1052
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: can see a list of all of your websites that

1053
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: all of your passwords that have been hacked, just right

1054
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: on the open web. And so you can see that.

1055
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: And if someone, if a hacker gets a hold of that,

1056
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: they'll take that password and they will try it in

1057
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: a different website. They'll try it in all the popular

1058
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: websites until they figure out one that you've reused it

1059
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: on and they'll hack you.

1060
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 2: Happens every single day, Believe me. I get the emails.

1061
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joel and riverside. Joel, welcome to the show.

1062
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 16: Hey, how are you doing, Rich?

1063
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. What can I help you?

1064
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 13: Cool?

1065
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 16: I was notified earlier in the year about Google domains

1066
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 16: moving over or migrating to a square space, so the

1067
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 16: web that I did have is no longer. I finally

1068
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 16: got my square space information email about a month or

1069
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 16: two ago. Can I really use AI to try and

1070
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 16: build me a website?

1071
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely across my feet? Yeah? Why not?

1072
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean my kid was building a video game this

1073
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 1: morning with AI. I mean this stuff it's wild. Now

1074
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: here's the thing. What what kind of website are we

1075
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: talking about? Like, is this like a small business.

1076
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 16: Real basic for yeah, small you know organic micro farm.

1077
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 16: You know it's a little organic farm on two acres.

1078
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 16: Oh wow, And yeah, so you know, I just want

1079
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 16: to to show everyone in regener it is sustainable practices.

1080
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 16: You know, let people know when they could come get

1081
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 16: the fruit. But the main thing is teaching people how

1082
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 16: to grow their own you know, fruit and vegetables without

1083
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 16: any pesticides or herbicides.

1084
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1085
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a great That's so what

1086
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: I think is is what AI is going to be

1087
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: useful for in that aspect is is helping you like

1088
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: what you kind of say what you want into the

1089
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: AI and it will clean up your text. So if

1090
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: you say, like let's say you're doing blog posts about

1091
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: this on your website, you can kind of use voice

1092
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: to text on your phone and just say like, okay,

1093
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: first things first, you don't want to use pesticides, so

1094
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: you want to use you know, you want to use

1095
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 1: good organic soil.

1096
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1097
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is like you just spout

1098
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: out all the steps for like step one, step two,

1099
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 1: step three, and then AI will take what you said,

1100
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: and you could just say you can pop it into

1101
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: AI and say clean this up, and now it will

1102
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,919
Speaker 1: say or you can say turn this into a more

1103
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: elaborate blog post about this topic, and it will take

1104
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: what you said, but it will kind of upon that.

1105
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: And now you're the person that's the experts, so you're

1106
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: going to read it over obviously before you copy and

1107
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: paste it onto your website. But it's basically your knowledge

1108
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: just kind of cleaned up and put in a way

1109
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: that people can understand, and you didn't have to do

1110
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: a ton of work to get that to the website.

1111
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: So I think that's one way of using it now

1112
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: to actually lay out your website. If you're using Squarespace,

1113
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: you can use AI. I'm looking at their tools right now.

1114
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: They've got a whole blog post on how to build

1115
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: their website with AI tools, so they do have them

1116
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: built in as well. But again, I think you're going

1117
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: to find that you can do a lot with AI

1118
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: to make this process a lot easier, a lot simpler,

1119
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: and your website's just going to look better and it's

1120
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: going to have more information on it, and you're the

1121
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: person that's kind of starting that information, but AI is

1122
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: just expanding upon all of that.

1123
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

1124
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 16: Okay? So square Space is almost how Google Domains was,

1125
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 16: and I could just go in through there and do everything.

1126
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,479
Speaker 16: I don't have to find like a hosting website or anything.

1127
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, they do it all. They'll they'll handle

1128
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,959
Speaker 1: it all. So once you're transferred over there, they will

1129
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: they will handle the hosting and the you know, the

1130
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: actual website. You'll have the domain obviously, and then they

1131
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: have this thing called Squarespace Blueprint AI that will help

1132
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: you create your custom website with your pages, the colors

1133
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: you want, the copy you want, and then you can

1134
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: even use you know, chat ebt to help write this

1135
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: stuff that's coming up on your website or I like

1136
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: Claude much better.

1137
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 2: But those are the kind of things that you can do.

1138
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: And I think that you're gonna find whenever you built

1139
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: this website last, you know, the first time you did it,

1140
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: it's going to be a whole lot easier this time

1141
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: around because everything is just advanced to a place where

1142
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot less work to make

1143
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: this stuff look a lot prettier, So Joel.

1144
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,920

1153
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: Joining me now, Julio Vincent Gambudo, author of Please Unsubscribe.

1154
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: Thanks.

1155
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: The paperback is Barnes and Noble Pick of the Month,

1156
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to talk about this because it seems

1157
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: like we are overwhelmed in our digital lives, so I

1158
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: want some good information on how to fix that.

1159
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 2: Julia, welcome to the show. Thanks rage, thanks for having me.

1160
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 13: So what made you write this book? You know, it

1161
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 13: kind of all happened. It started during the pandemic. I

1162
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,479
Speaker 13: just felt like completely overwhelmed and felt like my life

1163
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 13: had been on autopilot for a long time.

1164
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 7: I was running and running and running all.

1165
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: The time, and uh, you know, tech was kind of

1166
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: supposed to help, right.

1167
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 13: That was the sexy Seal when we all bought in

1168
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 13: and and I kind of found that it was just

1169
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 13: overwhelming me. So I took the opportunity during the pandemic

1170
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,959
Speaker 13: and in the year that's followed to kind of come

1171
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 13: off of as much as I could, so I could

1172
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 13: really determine what was useful and valuable and what wasn't anymore.

1173
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: Now, when you say unsubscribe, I mean it sounds like

1174
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: you're referring to something like email, But is that just

1175
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 1: a bigger term for like everything online, like you know, Instagram, feed,

1176
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff that just kind of takes up all

1177
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: of our time. Yeah, you know that's the That's the email,

1178
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: and the inbox is really the first place that it starts.

1179
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: But when I use the word, I really mean it

1180
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: at a bunch of different levels, you know.

1181
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 7: I mean it at the surface.

1182
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 13: Level, all the digital nonsense that were sort of consumed

1183
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 13: by all the time. I mean it at a social level,

1184
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 13: right like social media and kind of the people that

1185
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 13: are that are always popping up and sort of demanding attention,

1186
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 13: whether or not those are the people you really want

1187
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 13: to be spending time with. And I mean it at

1188
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 13: a deeper level, which is really kind of just the

1189
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 13: the underlying ideas and notions that we have about who

1190
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 13: we are in the world. Those are subscriptions too. Those

1191
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 13: are things that we're committed to. They are ideas that

1192
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 13: we're committed to. So my writing and my work is

1193
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 13: kind of about those three levels of subscription. What's your background.

1194
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 13: I'm a movie maker. I went to film school. I'm

1195
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 13: an English major. I'm a humanist at heart, right, and

1196
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 13: I spend most of my time making film and TV.

1197
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 13: And so a lot of what the book is is

1198
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 13: is social science. It's certainly opinion, it's some memoir, and

1199
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 13: it's really a mix of all of that.

1200
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so where do people start? I mean, do you

1201
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: start with the email? Because I okay, so I kind

1202
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: of do this thing where I'm not spying on people,

1203
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: but I kind of like to watch how people use

1204
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: their phone in public, Like I'll kind of see like

1205
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: what's on their screen, right, And I noticed when people

1206
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: scroll through their inbox, it's filled with garbage. I mean

1207
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking like all like the emails from every place

1208
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: you've ever shopped at in your entire life. Right, And

1209
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: then they go to Facebook and they go to you know,

1210
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: they hop around people just hop around on their phones

1211
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: to all these different things and scroll and it just

1212
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: by the time you do it, it's like you've just wasted,

1213
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, another five to seven minutes of your life.

1214
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, and those five or seven minutes are not coming back,

1215
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 13: and there are five or seven minutes you're gonna spend

1216
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 13: in an hour from now, and then twice tomorrow and

1217
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 13: three times the next day.

1218
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the inbox is really important, right.

1219
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 13: The inbox is sort of your mind, and to get

1220
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 13: control over it, you've really got to.

1221
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 7: Be mindful about it and be intentional about it.

1222
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 13: You know, it's a joke at this point that there

1223
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 13: are two types of people in the world, right, people

1224
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 13: who have got zero emails from people who have got

1225
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 13: thirty three thousand. But you know, getting control over that

1226
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 13: and sort of separating yourself and your day to day

1227
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 13: information intake from the barrage of emails and subscription reminders

1228
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 13: and notifications.

1229
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 2: Is really really key.

1230
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 13: So you know, yes, obvious, it's it's obvious here, but

1231
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 13: starting in the inbox is really important. But more important

1232
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 13: than that, I think, is asking two questions, right, asking

1233
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 13: how can I slow this down? And where can I

1234
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 13: put Li's back in. You know, we all write these

1235
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 13: books to give strategies that are practical for readers, and

1236
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 13: I certainly want readers to walk.

1237
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 7: Away with practical strategies.

1238
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 13: But I think if you take a step back, the

1239
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 13: questions to be answered or asking, are you know, how

1240
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 13: do I slow this down? And where do I put

1241
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 13: limits back in? And those are questions that everyone can ask.

1242
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 13: If you're a busy mom, if you're a busy professional,

1243
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 13: if you're.

1244
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 7: Dealing with work nonsense.

1245
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 13: You know that's those have been the two major movements

1246
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 13: in the last ten years. For sure, speed it up

1247
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 13: and remove limits. So how do we put those back in?

1248
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 13: Are important questions to ask.

1249
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: So when you know, when you talked about this book,

1250
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: when you you kind of did your research for this book,

1251
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: and I just talked about, you know, the idea that

1252
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: people just scroll, did you find anything concerning any trends

1253
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: that you're that you see in your life that you

1254
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of you know, made you want to write this

1255
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: as well?

1256
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 3: Well?

1257
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 13: You know, for me, well, the most alarming trend in

1258
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 13: the research actually is that eighty four percent of Americans

1259
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 13: overestimate or excuse me, underestimate how much they're paying in

1260
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 13: subscription fees every month, and they underestimate that by about

1261
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 13: one hundred or two hundred dollars.

1262
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 2: So if you put that over a year.

1263
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 7: That's about, you know, fifteen hundred two thousand dollars.

1264
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 13: Put that over three hundred million people in the American economy,

1265
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 13: and that's a lot of money that we are sending

1266
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 13: kind of straight up the ladder without really thinking about

1267
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 13: it or being conscious about it. And that was what

1268
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 13: was key for me, was, you know, how can I

1269
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 13: get conscious about the money I'm spending. The pandemics certainly

1270
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 13: the ripped the rugout from under me personally and from

1271
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 13: a lot of people, a lot of small business owners,

1272
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 13: a lot of entrepreneurs, a lot of folks who work

1273
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 13: for themselves. And obviously that was four years ago, and

1274
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 13: some people have rebounded and some people have it.

1275
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 7: But becoming conscious about my spending was really really important.

1276
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 13: Becoming conscious about where I'm putting not only my dollars,

1277
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 13: but my time, my energy, my eyeballs, what am I watching,

1278
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 13: where am I giving my attention and my cash was

1279
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 13: was really important.

1280
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: And so that was that was pretty eye opening. I

1281
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: have a joke about Netflix. They could basically put anything

1282
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: on the homepage of Netflix, and it would be like

1283
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: the top show the next weekend. Because people will literally watch,

1284
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: like there's stuff on Netflix that nobody in their right

1285
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: mind would ever watch. But because you're paying that money

1286
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: every month and because you log on so much and

1287
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: that's the first thing you see, you'll just watch it.

1288
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 1: And it's like these horrible shows that are just not

1289
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: even very good. And people are like, I'll put up

1290
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: with it. And by the way, when you when you

1291
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: were talking about the pandemic and we got all these subscriptions,

1292
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, remember that they started at super cheap prices

1293
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: and now everything yes, and they continue to go up, so.

1294
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 13: And that's you know, that's part of That's part of

1295
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 13: the conversation here, right, is that that you just get

1296
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 13: an email that that you can reply to, that you

1297
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 13: can negotiate with, that you really can't even respond to

1298
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 13: that basically says, hey, we're changing the terms of service,

1299
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 13: We're changing what you agreed to.

1300
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 7: Sorry, if you would agree or disagree anymore.

1301
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 13: And if you disagree, here's a labyrinth and a maze

1302
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 13: for you to go through to unsubscribe. You know, so

1303
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 13: much of this new initiative, even from the White house

1304
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 13: called time is money is meant to battle that specific thing,

1305
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 13: which is I only clicked once to subscribe, and now

1306
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 13: I've got to find, you know, sort of go through

1307
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 13: this maze to unsubscribe. But I love your Netflix joke

1308
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 13: because I laugh too, and I see it with my

1309
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 13: friends and colleagues in the film and industry, right like,

1310
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 13: this show is number one, and I'm glad it's number one,

1311
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 13: but it's only number one because it's the first thing

1312
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 13: on the screen and it's the only damn thing up there.

1313
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 2: So exactly, I laugh with you on that.

1314
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: That's the White House initiative you're talking about about the

1315
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: one click, because yes, these companies make it super easy

1316
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: to subscribe in a click, and then when you don't,

1317
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, when you want to get rid of it,

1318
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: it's either hidden now. Not every company is like that,

1319
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Like there are some good sites that you know, make

1320
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: things easy to disconnect in this and that. But I

1321
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: always recommend when people are signing up for any sort

1322
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: of subscription that check the like Google how to cancel

1323
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and see like if it's if it's tricky at all,

1324
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be tricky when you actually try to

1325
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 1: do that.

1326
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 13: You know what I mean completely right, and I think

1327
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 13: that that's that's what the initiative is. It's about balancing

1328
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 13: the scales and just making it as easy to come

1329
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 13: off of certain things as it is to go on them.

1330
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 13: And you're right, it's not every company, for sure, but

1331
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 13: there are plenty that make it very, very very difficult,

1332
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 13: and they put that friction back in the process. They

1333
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 13: put those pain points back in the process. They want

1334
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 13: to make sure that you sort of have to think twice,

1335
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 13: three times, four times, five times before you actually get

1336
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 13: off of their service. And those are not questions that

1337
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 13: they're asking, you know, when you get onto their service.

1338
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 13: So it's really I think about rebalancing those scales. All right,

1339
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 13: I've got about thirty seconds here. What what what's the

1340
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 13: key takeaway from the book? Like, if someone gets this book,

1341
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 13: what's their key takeaway? What are they going to do?

1342
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 13: Key takeaway is, well, first of all, there's about one

1343
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 13: hundred practical tactical strategies in there for being happy and

1344
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 13: all this chaof But you know, the real takeaway here

1345
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 13: is step back, reevaluate, be intentional, do some deep thinking

1346
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 13: about where you want to put your time, money, cash, eyeballs, attention,

1347
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 13: and then re engage in the world and be a

1348
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 13: part of it in a really beautiful way.

1349
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 7: But definitely take the time out.

1350
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 13: We've been sort of sold this idea that we can't

1351
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 13: step away and we have to be always on and I,

1352
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 13: you know, I reject that, and I'm sort of calling

1353
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 13: for people to take the time they need to reevaluate.

1354
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: Love it.

1355
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Julio Vincent Gambudo, filmmaker and author of Please Unsubscribe.

1356
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Thanks.

1357
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 1: You can find it, of course wherever you buy books.

1358
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: I guess, thanks so much for joining me today. I

1359
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: really appreciate it.

1360
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me Rich.

1361
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to remember this stuff. It's easy to

1362
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 2: get on board. It's tough to get off of that

1363
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 2: board sometimes because it's just we're on autopilot. I mean,

1364
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: I know, it's this.

1365
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: Is why companies, I always say, want access to your

1366
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: checking account versus your credit debit card.

1367
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 2: That money comes out not coming back.

1368
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: In very easily. You are listening to Rich on Tech.

1381
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I mentioned right there. We were just talking.

1382
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: About subscriptions, so I meant to actually mention this in

1383
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: the last segment, but you know, the subscription services, what

1384
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: they're doing right now is they're starting to bundle, just

1385
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: like the good old days of cable. And you may

1386
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: be thinking, as a consumer, oh my gosh, what a

1387
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: great deal. I get to bundle my Disney Plus, my ESPN,

1388
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: my Hulu, my you know whatever. And it sounds great

1389
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: because you're saving money. But here's what's really happening. You're

1390
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: actually going to be spending more over the long term,

1391
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: because guess what, when you don't need that Espn Plus,

1392
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: you're still going to be paying for it because you're

1393
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: not gonna want to cancel your bundle because, by the way,

1394
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: the price of the bundle is going to have gone

1395
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: up in the time between when you subscribe and the

1396
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: time you want to cancel. So these companies are very

1397
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: smart at what they're doing. But there is one thing

1398
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: you can actually get for free, but it does come

1399
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: as sort of a bundle if you're paying for cable.

1400
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: So Charter Communications has now linked up with a Paramount

1401
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: to offer Paramount Plus Essential at no extra cost if

1402
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: you're a Spectrum TV select or a ME Plan Latino customer.

1403
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: So if you have one of these two cable plans,

1404
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: you can get Paramount Plus Essential for free. Now it's

1405
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: not really freakuse you're paying for cable. It's just kind

1406
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: of a bonus. Usually that's about eight dollars a month.

1407
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: You can activate by going to Spectrum dot com slash

1408
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Paramount Plus on US. Spectrum dot com slash Paramount Plus

1409
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: on US. Again, you have to have that Spectrum subscription,

1410
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: but hey, you know, you can get this streaming service

1411
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: for free and Paramount Plus. It's not one of my favorites,

1412
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: like they don't have a ton, but there's always something

1413
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: on there that's you know, they've got a bunch of stuff.

1414
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: It's like Paramount Movies. They're also linked up with CBS,

1415
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: so there are some CBS shows on there. Oh it

1416
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: says CBS, b ET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and paramount stuff.

1417
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 2: So hey, why not.

1418
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be ads on that, by the way,

1419
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: because it's the Paramount plus essential, so that means there's

1420
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna be some ads there. Let's see, let's go to uh,

1421
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: let's go to Dick in Kettering, Ohio.

1422
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich. Welcome to the show.

1423
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 17: Well, thank you, Rich, thank you. I was just towing

1424
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 17: your screener. My friends have gotten I don't know a

1425
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 17: lot about tech. I took a class cell phones and

1426
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 17: I purchased my friends purchased it over like at one

1427
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 17: of the congratus, you know, Rollmart.

1428
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so he took a class itself a well, for a.

1429
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 17: While there, it wouldn't charge. Then I called up, you know,

1430
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 17: the customer service, and they sent me a new one

1431
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 17: and it's working pretty good. But the only thing they

1432
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 17: say on there, I went, uh, is the internet is

1433
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 17: not working their Wi Fi And my friend thinks I

1434
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 17: need another card, a phone card to pay on it.

1435
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Well, you're so, your WiFi is not working at all.

1436
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 17: No, But the thing of it is, it's one hundred

1437
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 17: percent it's doing good. It has Facebook and I can

1438
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 17: get everything else. But when I make a call, it

1439
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 17: won't call.

1440
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 2: Oh when you make a call, Okay, when.

1441
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 6: I make a call.

1442
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 17: Yeah, it's working good. Now, Okay, maybe I ought to

1443
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 17: get this. I think it's twenty four eighty eight. I'm

1444
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 17: gonna have probably go to Family Mobile to get it.

1445
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 17: And it's just been pumfling because you know, I've had

1446
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 17: it like four months and I've never had my friend

1447
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 17: had one. But it's just puzzling that I've called service,

1448
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 17: you know, the customer service is just you know, it's

1449
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 17: funny that I've had so much trouble with these things.

1450
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Well, it happens. So what can you do on the phone?

1451
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Can you you can access the web, but you can't

1452
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: make calls.

1453
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's all. It just says Wi Fi not connected

1454
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 17: and they're not not working and the only thing what

1455
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 17: you call it just doesn't But it's work another way.

1456
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 17: Maybe I just they've got the what is it the card?

1457
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 17: I could probably get maybe a mobile card and then

1458
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 17: they'll have to call that in to activate it.

1459
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 6: Maybe yeah, I would.

1460
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 17: Also I'll get a little phone, you know, like you push.

1461
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 17: My friend might get something like that.

1462
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,760
Speaker 2: You know, well if you if you bring it in,

1463
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 2: they're they're probably gonna fix it. What carrier are you on?

1464
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 17: No, they don't want it. Well they told me that

1465
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 17: they don't, and I have a gym City Digital, so

1466
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 17: they told me. My friends told me, I'm going to

1467
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 17: just try the card and then go from there. Maybe

1468
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 17: just get that push button one like a regular landline.

1469
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I don't know if I go with the

1470
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 2: online Well, here's the deal.

1471
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: So I would recommend before you go into the store,

1472
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: whatever you do, there's a there's a setting on the

1473
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Samsung where you can reset the mobile network settings. So

1474
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: if you go into settings under reset, there's an option

1475
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: that says reset Mobile Network Settings. You tap that and

1476
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: it will reset all of the mobile network settings. So

1477
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that will include your Wi Fi, that includes your Bluetooth,

1478
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: that includes your cellular and it's gonna take a minute

1479
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: for your phone to kind of like figure everything out again,

1480
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 1: but that should fix things. And then you're gonna have

1481
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,480
Speaker 1: to reconnect to your Wi Fi and reconnect any Bluetooth devices.

1482
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: So those are the things to do for that. That's

1483
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: what I'd recommend doing. But otherwise i'd bring it into

1484
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: where you got it and see what they say. Especially

1485
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: if you're paying for service every month. You don't want

1486
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: to be paying for something that you're not actually getting.

1487
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Dick in Kettering, Ohio today, appreciate it.

1488
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: If you go to Costco you got some oldile electronics

1489
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: at home, you actually they actually have a trade in

1490
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: program where you you can exchange your old electronics for

1491
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 1: a Costco gift card. So the program's open to Costco

1492
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: members and non members. The trade ins are actually all

1493
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: facilitated by a third party company called Phobio. I was

1494
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 1: not familiar with this company, but they're kind of a

1495
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: recycling company, so I don't You don't even have to

1496
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: be a Costco customer to do this, but I guess

1497
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Costco has a deal with them, And usually if Costco

1498
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: has a deal with someone, they're sweetening the deal in

1499
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: a way. So maybe they're giving you a little bit

1500
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: extra for your your purchase it or your trade ins

1501
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: or something like that. But you can trade in basically

1502
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: all of the electronics you have at home, phones, laptops, tablets,

1503
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 1: smart watches. You can get up to one thousand bucks

1504
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: for laptops, everything you know, they'll give you a quote

1505
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: before you do this. But the process does happen online.

1506
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: You don't actually have to go into a Costco warehouse.

1507
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: You basically go into the website. You go to this

1508
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: special Costco branded you know, trade in website, and then

1509
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: you say what you have. They'll give you that estimate,

1510
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: you send it in. They'll give you a box you

1511
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: send it in, and then once they get it, they'll

1512
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: just make sure everything's on the up and up, and

1513
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: if it's good, you'll get your gift card. And it

1514
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 1: takes a couple of weeks. They can send you a

1515
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 1: digital gift card to Costco. But again, if you like

1516
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Costco and you've got the old electronics at home, you

1517
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: want to trade them in. I'm trying to figure out

1518
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: how this is better than just trading them in. I

1519
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 1: like a website called gizmo Go, And so gizmo Go

1520
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: is the website that's I've done a story with them.

1521
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: They're here in California and you go to their warehouse

1522
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, you've never seen more recycled electronics

1523
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: in your entire life. And they showed me the whole

1524
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: process from start to finish. So if you're looking to

1525
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: trade something in. You could just type it in on

1526
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: this website. They'll give you a quote instantly, and you've

1527
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to send it in. They

1528
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: will give you a box if you need it, but

1529
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: you can send it in like iPhone twelve two hundred

1530
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: and eighty bucks, iPhone eleven two hundred ninety nine dollars,

1531

Speaker 1: seven one hundred and seventy dollars. Trade in those old electronics,

1533
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,400

01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk cyber truck. Have you seen one of

1541
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: these things on the road? I know, very polarizing. I'm

1542
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: curious to see what our reviewer says about it. Zach

1543
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:41,440
Speaker 1: Dole from US News. We'll talk about his objective assessment

1544
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: of this new cyber truck. That'll come up later this

1545
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: hour Waimo reached a milestone this week. Waimo is the

1546
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: fully autonomous taxi service from Google. That's who owns Weaimo.

1547
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: It's really Alphabet. When I say Google, Google, you know,

1548
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 1: they kind of spun off to the parent company, which

1549
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: is Alphabet owns all the companies that Google, you know,

1550
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: used to own. So it's like it's like Alphabet. You've

1551
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: got Google, which is like search and all that stuff.

1552
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: Weimo deep mind, They've got a whole bunch of stuff.

1553
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: But Weimo is their autonomous taxi. They now provide over

1554
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand paid rides per week to the public.

1555
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: It's the first fully autonomous ride hailing service to reach

1556
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: this level. And they're in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

1557
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 2: I was in one.

1558
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: It's very it feels very reassuring, honestly, like it's it's

1559
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: better than some of the ubers I've been in. Nothing

1560
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: against Uber drivers. I love Uber. I've been an Uber

1561
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: person since day one, literally day one in Los Angeles,

1562
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 1: Like I remember Uber calling me and saying, Hey, do

1563
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: you want to come to this party and we're going

1564
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: to send a car for you like a town car.

1565
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,759
Speaker 2: Back in the day. It was just like town cars,

1566
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: and I said, wait, what what, how is this.

1567
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Going to work because I've I've seen town cars in

1568
01:12:57,880 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: New York City and they're very expensive. No, this is

1569
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: for everyone now, and so yes, I've been a big

1570
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: fan of Uber since day one, but this is like

1571
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: the next level. This is fully autonomous. They're expanding rides

1572
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: to the freeways up in San Francisco. And when this

1573
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: goes big, like really big, it's going to change things

1574
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: once again because think about the efficiencies you have with

1575
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: a fully autonomous fleet of cars that's just doing rides

1576
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. Yeah, let's see what else.

1577
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,719
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark Mark and Woodland Hills.

1578
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 7: Mark.

1579
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich?

1580
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 4: Oh great.

1581
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 12: Hey.

1582
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 4: I just want to preface by saying I picked up

1583
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 4: an Uber a UMA and it works great.

1584
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 7: Oh you're very.

1585
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 4: Happy with it. Just the taxes and that's something you

1586
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 4: can't avoid anyway, but it works wonderfully.

1587
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1588
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: I ended up because we got a couple of calls

1589
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: about the UMA here, and so I ended up calling

1590
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: the company and saying, hey, you know, can you can

1591
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 1: you give me some more info on this because I

1592
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: felt like I knew about it, but it had been

1593
01:13:58,240 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years since I tested it, and so

1594
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: they gat I mean the whole rundown of everything and

1595
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: it you know, it's great. I mean you pay basically,

1596
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: you buy the box and you pay for the taxes

1597
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,799
Speaker 1: each month. And they have different obviously add ons and things.

1598
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: But glad you hear it's work. And what can I

1599
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: help you with?

1600
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 2: Mark?

1601
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 4: Sorry to digress like that, but my I have some

1602
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 4: very pedestrian needs when it comes to PC. Not on

1603
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 4: my phone. I don't use the phone for that, but

1604
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 4: I need PC video and MP three editing because I

1605
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 4: like to trim down my MP three for my playlist

1606
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 4: sure when I go out cycling and whatnot. And I'm

1607
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 4: looking for something free on PC that I can just

1608
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 4: trim my videos or even download from YouTube if that's possible.

1609
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:38,879
Speaker 2: Super simple.

1610
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: So the the free MP three audio editor that you know,

1611
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: it's been around forever, open source Audacity.

1612
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 2: Have you heard of that one?

1613
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: No? Sure, sure Audacity A U, D A C I

1614
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: T Y. And that's kind of like the golden the

1615
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: gold standard for something that's free. You know, it's a

1616
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: little looks a little old school for my taste, but

1617
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 1: if you want something free, it's it's available. It's easy

1618
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,600
Speaker 1: if you're especially if you're just trimming the in and

1619
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: the out of the song.

1620
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:07,879
Speaker 2: Totally easy.

1621
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: And that's something super simple to do. When it comes

1622
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: to videos. A couple other options. Cap cut is is

1623
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: one option on the desktop, so you can use that.

1624
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 2: It is full featured.

1625
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: It's very simple to trim videos and you can you know,

1626
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: you can get you may become an influencer.

1627
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 2: Mark I don't know.

1628
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 4: That's the problem with cap cut is that it's an

1629
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 4: and yeah run Bite Dan. Yeah, I don't fancy using

1630
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 4: their products, and I.

1631
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: Agree with that, and so I I would say that,

1632
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: and I you know, I would agree with the fact

1633
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: that there is concerns about that. So you know, people

1634
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: put it on their machine. It's fine whatever. So if

1635
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: you don't want something like that. The other free program

1636
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: the name is of oh, Adobe Rush. That's the one

1637
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 1: I like, so Adobe Rush. Now Adobe the problem with

1638
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Adobe is that it's a little bulky. So but but

1639
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 1: their premiere Rush, as far as I know, you should

1640
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: be able to install and use it for free. You

1641
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: just can't use all the fancy features they do want

1642
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: you to pay. But it's very simple to use it

1643
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: for free. For like the basic things that you're doing.

1644
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Unless yeah, unless they've changed something on there. So but

1645
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,759
Speaker 1: as far as I know, you can use it without

1646
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 1: a without a you know, a membership. Now there's other

1647
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: programs out there. Some of them are you know, you know,

1648
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: there's more expensive than others. They're trying to push you,

1649
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of them are also Mac based.

1650
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: That's what I'm using. I use Final Cut for everything.

1651
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: You can also use quick Time if you're on a

1652
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: Mac to just trim a video very easily. But I

1653
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: think between those two things, you're gonna find it pretty

1654
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: easy to to just clip whatever you need to clip there.

1655
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned downloading from YouTube as well. Nope, I

1656
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: think we lost mark okay anyway, so there are two

1657
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: tools to download from YouTube. Obviously, when it comes to

1658
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: downloading from YouTube, it's really meant for your own personal videos.

1659
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: That's kind of like the you know, I don't know

1660
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 1: how I got to dance around that topic. I don't know.

1661
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is with downloading from YouTube.

1662
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: But yes, there are many tools that can help you

1663
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: download from YouTube. I don't know what the legality is

1664
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: or the gray area. I don't know but they're out there.

1665
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: Believe me, that might be something you get in the

1666
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: rich On Tech newsletter. That's my I told people how

1667
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: to block ads this week in the rich On Tech

1668
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: newsletter on the website, very very simply on Android. You

1669
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: literally have to add one piece of text to your

1670
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: to your settings and you block all the ads on

1671
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: your phone and all the trackers. And it's really good.

1672
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: It's very like you don't even have to download an app.

1673
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: It's just built into the operating system. It's very very good.

1674
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:50,760
Speaker 1: But that's in the latest newsletter. So if you want

1675
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 1: to see how to do that, I'm not going to

1676
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: go through it here because it's a little it's not complicated.

1677
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: It's just like you got to go to the certain settings.

1678
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: But I laid all out in the in the newsletter.

1679
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: So rich Tech dot tv is the newsletter. The newsletter

1680
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: that says, scrub your personal info from search results.

1681
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 2: I talk about that as well. This week.

1682
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,640
Speaker 1: Ring has a new camera, a new video doorbell. This

1683
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: week they launched. It's the latest. It's basically their basic

1684
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: video door bell. It's like kind of their most popular one.

1685
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: It's the battery door bell. It's one hundred dollars The

1686
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: new features include head to toe video. So the original

1687
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: rings did not have the head to toe video, which

1688
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: means if someone put a package on your doorstep, the

1689
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: most important thing porch pirates, you wouldn't necessarily see that

1690
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: package getting stolen. Hopefully you don't see that, but you

1691
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: know if it did, you'd have that video. So now

1692
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and fifty degrees by one hundred and

1693
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: fifty degrees lens, so much more of a vertical view

1694
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: that you can see everything head to toe. Battery life

1695
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: is better up to twenty three percent better with the

1696
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: common settings. Obviously, if you're recording longer, or if you

1697
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: have more more motion settings that trigger the recordings, that's

1698
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: going to take up your battery quicker. But that's another thing.

1699
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: They also have this new kind of like push push

1700
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: functionality to like replace the battery. So it's a lot

1701
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: easier to pop on and off from your wall. So

1702
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: if you haven't gone with like the solar attachment, that's

1703
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: a lot easier to do. Remember with these with these

1704
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:19,600
Speaker 1: ring doorbells, unless you are paying, it's basically just streaming

1705
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 1: so you can get all the alerts to your phone.

1706
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: But unless you pay that five dollars a month. You're

1707
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 1: not going to get the smart alerts they can now

1708
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,600
Speaker 1: tell you if it's a package that's being delivered or

1709
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: a pet or whatever. They tell you like what's at

1710
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: your front door, and the cloud storage. So unless you're

1711
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 1: paying for that, you're only going to get the streaming.

1712
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: So realistically, Ring was a brilliant, brilliant business model because

1713
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: if you have one of these battery you know, these

1714
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,759
Speaker 1: video doorbells, you don't just want to see the video.

1715
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, that's how it started. But

1716
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: when you when you think about it, you want a

1717
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: recording of that video. And how do you get that recording? Well,

1718
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 1: you have to have that cloud service. I remember, I

1719
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: mean this is a long time ago, but I remember

1720
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: interviewing Jamie Simmon off, the guy who created this back

1721
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: in the day. I'm talking so many years ago, went

1722
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: to his little Ring offices. This is way before Amazon

1723
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:10,799
Speaker 1: bought this company for a billion dollars, but I remember

1724
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: going to his offices. This guy was a young guy,

1725
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, he showing me these cameras and how he

1726
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 1: came up with it, And he said he came up

1727
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: with the idea for the Ring camera because he was

1728
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 1: working from home and someone would come to the front

1729
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 1: door and ring the doorbell and he couldn't see who

1730
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: it was. And of course intercoms back in the day,

1731
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: that was like a common thing. That house not a

1732
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: common thing, but houses, some houses had intercom systems. Intercom

1733
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: was not video, and so he looked everywhere and he said,

1734
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: there's gotta be a video intercom system, right, and there

1735
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: just wasn't a mainstream, simple video intercom system. And by

1736
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: the way, if you had an intercom system in your house,

1737
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 1: it was expensive, you know, it wasn't cheap. So by

1738
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: making this it was called it was it called doorbot.

1739
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: Doorbot was the first name for this thing, doorbot. Let

1740
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: me let me check that. Yeah, it's called doorbot, And

1741
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 1: they sent me one of the first ones to test

1742
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: and I set it up at the house. Well, I

1743
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: set up at a friend's house and he didn't like it.

1744
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: And here was the problem with the original ring doorbot,

1745
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: which it was called doorbot before it was ring. The

1746
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: wi fi back in the day at houses was not

1747
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: very good and so most people had their WiFi hub

1748
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of their house and this doorbell would

1749
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: be on the outside of their house. So When the

1750
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 1: first people started buying these and setting them up, what

1751
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: do you think happened? It wasn't a very good experience

1752
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: because your WiFi didn't reach the signal, didn't make it outside,

1753
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: and so people would be like, Oh, this thing's not

1754
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: very good. And of course WiFi got better over the years.

1755
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: People figured out that had to be closer. And they

1756
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: also changed the name because Doorbot sounded too robotic, and

1757
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 1: so they changed the name to Ring. Because people hold

1758
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: their front door in a very high regard. That's the

1759
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: entrance to their house, so it needs to be warm,

1760
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 1: it needs to be inviting, and by doorbot it seemed

1761
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: too mechanical, it seemed too robotic, and so people didn't

1762
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: really like that name, so they change it to Ring.

1763
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: The rest is history. Jamie's doing just fine. Billion dollars Amazon.

1764
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: When Amazon comes and says we're gonna buy your company

1765
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 1: for a billion dollars, you'll probably say, yes, I don't

1766
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: even think you have a if you have stockholders, I

1767
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,600

01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 2: are you, Craig?

1783
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 3: Pretty good?

1784
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 4: Uh?

1785
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 10: Yet?

1786
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,839
Speaker 3: Today I bought them over the ear headphone.

1787
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 10: A wawmark uh thaw handy for one hundred and fifty

1788
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:18,840
Speaker 10: dollars and the pretty I would badly time and they

1789
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 10: have the eagle light on the side. They go make

1790
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 10: it bas here. I want to know how good they

1791
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 10: headphones or do I take them back?

1792
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 2: Well, here's my thought about headphones. Do they sound good

1793
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 2: to you.

1794
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 10: And they sound excellent to me?

1795
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: Well, then that's all that matters.

1796
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean to me when I I test a lot

1797
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 1: of headphones, and I know believe me, and you know,

1798
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: I've tested skull Candies, you know, this very popular brand.

1799
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: They they're definitely you know, on the on the more

1800
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: affordable side of things for a lot of them, which

1801
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: is nice. But really what it comes down to for

1802
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 1: me when you're reviewing headphones is do they sound good

1803
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: to you? And also do they fit in my ears?

1804
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: So you said these are over the ear headphones.

1805
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 10: Yeah, because I got a bit in the heel. I've

1806
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 10: had them for a while, which you're very good. I

1807
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,600
Speaker 10: think one hundred and eighty dollars. But when I go

1808
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 10: to bed that night and be them in my eel

1809
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 10: so wild with both of them. Uh, they tend to

1810
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 10: hook my eel drums in dry yeah, because it's been.

1811
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 3: Trying of my eel. So I don't don't worry about these.

1812
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of pushing on them. You know.

1813
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 1: They also make some speakers that you can put under

1814
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: your pillow.

1815
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Have you heard of those?

1816
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,600
Speaker 1: And they also make some headphones that are like specifically

1817
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: for sleep and you can you know, they're like kind

1818
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: of softer. I think the brand is Sleepphones, So you

1819
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: might want to check into those because those are Let's

1820
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: see how much they they sent me a pair to

1821
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:58,919
Speaker 1: tests a while. Oh, okay, those are kind of expensive.

1822
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 1: Those are uh the one with the cord is forty dollars.

1823
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: That's the cheapest they make. But then they also have

1824
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 1: kind of bluetooth versions for anywhere from one hundred to

1825
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty, but those are sleep from Want.

1826
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 3: But how long? How long is woods? On the call, Candy?

1827

01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, Cook, I'd wake up in the middle of the

1829
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 10: night and go back to say, you know, one of

1830

Speaker 3: All night and half of them all day in the day?

Speaker 2: There you go.

01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 3: I need to live. I used to live in Lockdown.

1841
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: There you go.

1842
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Well, when I was a kid, I used to fall

1843
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: asleep to the radio every single night.

1844
01:25:57,560 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 2: Love Lines.

1845
01:25:58,120 --> 01:25:59,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with that show, So

1846
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: it was it was both stimulating and uh, you know,

1847
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: they had some interesting conversations on that show.

1848
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:10,759
Speaker 7: But I listened to Zoo remember I'm hitting the three shows.

1849
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 2: There you go.

1850
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: Well, it was a it was a popular show where

1851
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: I was back in uh in Ze what One Hunter

1852
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: in New York.

1853
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I always.

1854
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Listened to uh two stuff falling asleep, but I would

1855
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 1: have the speaker near the bed or I had an

1856
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 1: under the pillow kind of thing, but I didn't have

1857
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: I didn't wear my ears. But but Craig, I say, look,

1858
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: if you're if you're liking the skull candy and you

1859
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: think that they are are feeling good and the battery,

1860
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 1: I think forty hours is a pretty decent battery.

1861
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 2: I think stick with them and enjoy. Okay, well, I

1862
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 2: didn't know.

1863
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 10: If they was any good, you know, I mean the

1864
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 10: little high for my budget, I'm just a dishability. You

1865
01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 10: would it be called a.

1866
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 1: Well look, I mean there are there are certainly cheaper

1867
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: headphones out there, but uh you know, and and these

1868
01:26:55,520 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 1: are i'd say mid range in the review area. But again,

1869
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: and I think it really comes down to what you think.

1870
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: And I think that if you're liking them and they

1871
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: feel comfortable, I think that's the most important thing because

1872
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: you are wearing them at night. So Craig appreciate the

1873
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 1: call today, I really do, and they're Oh, Kim sent

1874
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: me a link she looked them up. The name of

1875
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: these skull Candy might be the Skull the Crushers. Yeah,

1876
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars. So yeah, I mean, you know,

1877
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: there's so many headphones out there.

1878
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 2: I like the ones.

1879
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm actually doing a segment for KTLA on Monday about

1880
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Bluetooth headphones and I'm actually loving the nothing These nothing buds.

1881
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: Well it's CMF buds Pro two and they're very inexpensive.

1882
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fifty nine dollars and they're great. They're like

1883
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: just simple and the coolest thing about these earbuds is

1884
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 1: the case. They come in fun colors. They have noise cancelation,

1885
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: all that good stuff, but the case has this little

1886
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: like click wheel on it that you can use to

1887
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: adjust the volume while they're in your ear, so it's

1888
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: almost like a fidget spinner.

1889
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 2: The case like doubles as a fidget spinner.

1890
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 1: But CMF buds Pro two highly recommended, really really like them.

1891
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 2: Also love the Sonos.

1892
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean talk about expensive, and I know I said

1893
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,720
Speaker 1: earlier I kind of poop pooed Sonos, but they do

1894
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: make a really nice pair of headphones. Now the so

1895
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 1: nos ace they are, I mean, just as good as

1896
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: they're speakers. And I can actually just a volume because

1897
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 1: they're on my phone and I use my phone volume,

1898
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,799
Speaker 1: not the app eighty eight.

1899
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 2: Rich one oh one.

1900
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 11: Uh.

1901
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,639
Speaker 2: Coming up, we're going to talk about the cyber truck.

1902
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: We're going to get a review, an objective assessment of

1903
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:42,639
Speaker 1: Tesla's cybertruck. Coming right up on rich on Tech. Welcome

1904
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: back to rich On Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out

1905
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,520
Speaker 1: with you, talking technology the website for the show richon

1906
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: Tech dot TV. If you want links to anything I

1907
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: mentioned here, well, you've probably seen this thing barreling down

1908
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 1: the street. I'm sure you've got thoughts. So does our

1909
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: next guest, Zach Dole, is the US News and World

1910
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Report vehicle testing editor, and he is checking his preconceptions

1911
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 1: at the door to give us an unbiased look at

1912
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,799
Speaker 1: the Tesla cyber truck.

1913
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 2: Zach, welcome to the show.

1914
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 6: Thanks so much for having great to be here.

1915
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:21,600
Speaker 1: So, uh, did you have any preconceived notions before you

1916
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: testro of this thing or what?

1917
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 6: I didn't have the highest expectations that, I'll be honest,

1918
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 6: you know, a lot of the earlier Testli models when

1919
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 6: they first came out, maybe there were some some glitchy issues,

1920
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 6: so I kind of expected maybe not the greatest product

1921
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 6: right off the bat, But I've got to say it's

1922
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 6: it's an impressive vehicle for sure.

1923
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: Really, so what what makes it impressive? I mean it's

1924
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: it's certainly looks very unique. I mean it looks like

1925
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: something out of like a you know, dystopian sci fi movie, which,

1926
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,240
Speaker 1: of course, I'm sure Elon Musk, you know that's what

1927
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: he think about.

1928
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 6: Exactly, Yeah, Blade Runner or something. It's yeah, I mean

1929
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 6: you get the highs and the lows. So this thing

1930
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 6: is so fast, it's so quiet, it's very comfortable. It

1931
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 6: rides on air suspension, so it's it is very easy

1932
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 6: to drive. The steering is a little bit tough to

1933
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 6: get used to. It's steer by wire, so there's no

1934
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 6: mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels,

1935
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,519
Speaker 6: and it can go on a dime. I mean, it's

1936
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 6: it's very responsive. So like from a usability standpoint, you

1937
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 6: could easily use this in a city la for instance,

1938
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 6: and you'll get a lot of looks. I mean, it

1939
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 6: looks like nothing else on the road. But it's a

1940
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:46,599
Speaker 6: very usable vehicle. I would say. The downside is that

1941
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:48,799
Speaker 6: the blind spots are huge.

1942
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:50,599
Speaker 2: I was wondering about that.

1943
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, so there's a tonnel cover, a hard cover for

1944
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 6: the bed. It's a six foot bed, and when it's

1945
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 6: and it's open state, you can see just fine. But

1946
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 6: when it's closed, it completely covers up the back window,

1947
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 6: so you have to use a camera on the center

1948
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 6: screen to see out of the back window, which is

1949
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 6: kind of unusual.

1950
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're driving like you know, like I

1951
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 1: see obviously delivery trucks they have those all the time,

1952
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 1: but like if a regular consumer car, is that is

1953
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:25,639
Speaker 1: that pretty unusual?

1954
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 6: I have never experienced that ever.

1955
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 2: Okay, very unusual. It is unusual.

1956
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 1: Okay, well what about the you mentioned that drive by wire?

1957
01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: Is that like does the Tesla not do that the

1958
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: standard like three model or whatever?

1959
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 2: Do they not do that?

1960
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 6: So they're shifting to that. This is the most extreme

1961
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 6: version of it I've experienced, where just the smallest inputs

1962
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 6: on the steering have really pronounced responses. I mean, this

1963
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 6: thing corners so fast. It's a little jarn to get

1964
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 6: used to, being honest, but once you are used to it,

1965
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 6: it makes turning turning circles smaller than like a sedan,

1966
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 6: you know, like an average compact car.

1967
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:11,679
Speaker 4: Wow.

1968
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's pretty remarkable.

1969
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 2: That's now.

1970
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Now I heard someone said that this does not have

1971
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: the self driving yet.

1972
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 2: Is that true?

1973
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 6: I believe they're rolling it out. It's a it comes equipped,

1974
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 6: ready to go, and there's a software over the air

1975
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 6: update where they will roll it out. It may have

1976
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 6: actually just happened or is currently going on.

1977
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:39,600
Speaker 1: So let's talk about charging. What's what's the range on

1978
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: this and what's what's the price on this car?

1979
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 6: All right, so this is the interesting part. The price

1980
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 6: I'll start with is kind of a moving target. This

1981
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 6: one stickered at one hundred one thousand dollars that we tested. Yeah,

1982
01:32:55,880 --> 01:33:02,000
Speaker 6: so originally this edition, the found Nation series was originally

1983
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 6: around eighty thousand dollars, and then it jumped to one hundred,

1984
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 6: and the Cyberbeast, which was one hundred, had jumped to

1985
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 6: one twenty.

1986
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 1: There's more of a beast than the cyber truck. It's

1987
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,160
Speaker 1: like even beast here it is.

1988
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 6: Yes, So the one I drove had six hundred horse power.

1989
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,559
Speaker 6: The cyber Beast as eight hundred and forty five.

1990
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh, how does that compare to like, I'm not like

1991
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 1: a car person, so how does that compare to like

1992
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,280
Speaker 1: a I don't know, like an F one fifty?

1993
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 2: Is that like the same?

1994
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 6: It will blow the doors off pretty much anything on

1995
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,879
Speaker 6: the road other than maybe another high powered electric car Tesla.

1996
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 6: It is so fast and it just gets there effortlessly.

1997
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 6: It's I mean, if you've driven a Tesla before, you're like, yeah,

1998
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 6: of course I know this, but these the electric motors

1999
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 6: can put down the power so efficiently. It's it's like

2000
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 6: driving a muscle car when you when you floor it,

2001
01:33:58,400 --> 01:33:59,759
Speaker 6: it goes wow.

2002
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: Well, so I saw this on display, like I've seen

2003
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 1: him on the roads obviously in the LA area, there's many.

2004
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 1: But I did see this at the Chicago Auto Show

2005
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 1: in person, and I didn't drive it, but I did

2006
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:12,679
Speaker 1: get to go in it, and I was actually quite

2007
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: impressed with the fit and sort of finish of it,

2008
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 1: Like it felt like very beefy, you know, like it

2009
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 1: felt like sturdy.

2010
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

2011
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 6: And so absolutely I had the same takeaway the interior.

2012
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,120
Speaker 6: It's minimalist, you know, that's kind of Tesla's m O.

2013
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 6: At this point, You've got this big screen in the

2014
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 6: middle and kind of not much else. But but everything

2015
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 6: did feel very well put together. I didn't notice any

2016
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 6: weird build quality issues. It seemed very well sorted.

2017
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I watched a guy kick it on the side,

2018
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: like he literally just went up to it, like like

2019
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: just started kicking the door. Because I guess it's you know,

2020
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the the quality is pretty much there for like the

2021
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, the whole thing.

2022
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:56,719
Speaker 2: I guess.

2023
01:34:57,400 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 1: Okay, the other thing that I've noticed with this car,

2024
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:01,880
Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of people put the wraps on

2025
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 1: them to make it different colors and things like that.

2026
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,479
Speaker 1: But I've noticed the standard it's kind of like, I

2027
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it's stainless steel, whatever the exterior is,

2028
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: it gets kind of dirty.

2029
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 2: Huh.

2030
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it's it's kind of interesting they went with

2031
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 6: the stainless steel. You know, it's it might be stainless,

2032
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 6: but it's it's not a no upkeep finish. You have

2033
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:25,439
Speaker 6: to wax it. You have to keep it clean because man,

2034
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 6: it's a smudge magnet.

2035
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 11: You know.

2036
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 6: The one eye Drove was a nearly new model, and

2037
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 6: it already had quite a bit of discoloration on it

2038
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:39,720
Speaker 6: from bug splatter, from fingerprints, near the doors. I don't

2039
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 6: know if there's a solution other than wrapping it or

2040
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 6: you know, keeping the garden hose close by when you

2041
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,799
Speaker 6: park it and sprain it off. It's you know, it's

2042
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 6: certainly a unique look. I mean this that's stainless on

2043
01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 6: a bright day, it's it sends quite a few reflections around.

2044
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,719
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's a it's a smudge magnet for sure.

2045
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So now that you've driven this thing, you've evaluated it.

2046
01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 1: Who do you think this is for?

2047
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 6: I think if you're a pickup truck shopper, you might

2048
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 6: find something here to like. I mean, it's certainly fast,

2049
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:18,759
Speaker 6: it can tow eleven thousand pounds, lots of storage space,

2050
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 6: whether up front and back or in this cargo bay

2051
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:28,680
Speaker 6: underneath the trunk. But I see more people if their

2052
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 6: truck shopper is just going for like an F one

2053
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 6: fifty or you know, another traditional full size pickup. I

2054
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,600
Speaker 6: wouldn't want to toe something very far with this. You know,

2055
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 6: you're going to make a lot of charging stops. Three

2056
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 6: hundred ish miles of range starts to go down quite

2057
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 6: a bit when you're pulling a heavy trailer. So I

2058
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 6: hope there's this charging station with a big pull around

2059
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 6: area for you. It's kind of a vehicle to be

2060
01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,599
Speaker 6: seen in. Nothing looks like this. You're going to turn

2061
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 6: so many heads. People will love coming up and talking

2062
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 6: to you. It's certainly very cool and I enjoyed it.

2063
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 2: We love coming up and talking to you.

2064
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a very polarizing car, like

2065
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,680
Speaker 1: people are either like ready to throw an egg at

2066
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 1: it or they're ready to come up to you and

2067
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: ask you about it. What did you find when you

2068
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:16,640
Speaker 1: were driving this?

2069
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 6: I yeah, when I was driving it, I pulled into

2070
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 6: a supercharger station, went to fill up, if you will,

2071
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,720
Speaker 6: and it was just like a celebrity came in. I've

2072
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,600
Speaker 6: never had this experience before. People like, what is the

2073
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 6: can it?

2074
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 1: You know?

2075
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 6: Everyone wants to talk to you, And I was like,

2076
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 6: it's not mine, it's not mine, but yeah, I mean,

2077
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 6: everybody wants to see what this thing looks like up

2078
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 6: up close and ask asked about it. It's it's like

2079
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 6: celebrity status, something that I haven't experienced.

2080
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:48,560
Speaker 1: I did, I will say when I looked at it

2081
01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 1: at the Chicago Auto Show for as like kind of

2082
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: weird as it looks on the outside, I was so

2083
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 1: surprised when you get on the inside, it was so beautiful,

2084
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: like it like it actually was like really refined, And

2085
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: I thought that was like surprising because you just assume

2086
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like this kind of odd interior. But

2087
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 1: it's like a very like nice comfortable interior for this

2088
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: truck that looks so unique on the outside.

2089
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's perfectly normal inside. I mean, it's kind of

2090
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:17,559
Speaker 6: like any other tussle out there. You know what you're

2091
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 6: gonna get. It's very minimalist. It's it's really nice, and

2092
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,639
Speaker 6: once you get used to the large center touch screen,

2093
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 6: it kind of has everything you need. You know, there's

2094
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 6: certainly a large learning curve initially, just like when you

2095
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 6: get a new iPad and you're playing around with that,

2096
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:37,000
Speaker 6: but you get used to it and you find some

2097
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 6: muscle memory. But yeah, overall, I'd say, if you have

2098
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 6: one hundred grand to spend on an electric pickup truck

2099
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 6: that's shaped like a wedge, this is the car for you.

2100
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: There you go, Zach, We're gonna leave it there. Zach

2101
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 1: dol from US News and World Report, Thanks so much for.

2102
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 2: Joining me today.

2103
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 6: Thanks so much for having me.

2104
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:57,879
Speaker 1: All Right, I'll put the full review on the website

2105
01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: rich on Tech dot tv. Coming up up, we are

2106
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,360
Speaker 1: going to reach into that feedback and pull out your

2107
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: comments right here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to

2108
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking technology. Oh my gosh,

2109
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 1: this song is making me realize. It's the last segment.

2110
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: How does three hours go by so fast? I guess

2111
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,479
Speaker 1: time does fly when you're having fun. Before we get

2112
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: to the feedback, one last story, I wanted to mention Assurant.

2113
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,200
Speaker 1: This is the company that does all the trade in stuff.

2114
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: They said, the average age of mobile devices turned in

2115
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 1: from trade in or upgrade programs reaches an all time

2116
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 1: high three point seven years. That means people are keeping

2117
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 1: their devices longer, because you know, they're lasting longer. Consumers

2118
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 1: received an estimated eight hundred and twenty nine million dollars

2119
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,559
Speaker 1: in value from device trade ins in just Q two

2120
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.

2121
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 2: That's just one quarter. Wow, that's us a lot.

2122
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven the most frequently traded in device, I, accounting

2123
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:03,919
Speaker 1: for thirty one percent of the top models. Samsung Galaxy

2124
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:06,680
Speaker 1: S twenty one was the top Android device traded in

2125
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: for the fifth consecutive quarter. Average age of iPhones that

2126
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:13,519
Speaker 1: turn in increased to three point eight years, while Android

2127
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: devices decreased to three point five So interesting, the Android

2128
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 1: users churn them faster and the iPhone users keep them longer.

2129
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Experts say that the AI is making people, motivating people

2130
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:31,599
Speaker 1: to upgrade their devices, and they're predicting a super cycle

2131
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:36,640
Speaker 1: of upgrades when Apple launches their new AI devices in September.

2132
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: Something to watch out for. All right, let's open up

2133
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,720
Speaker 1: the feedback. Chris writes in I was recently locked out

2134
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 1: of my eBay account after signing him from a different device.

2135
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:47,679
Speaker 1: To regain access, eBay required me to provide very personal

2136
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 1: information to be run against the public database, including my

2137
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 1: full legal name data, birth home address, date where my

2138
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 1: Social Security number was issued, and the age of a

2139
01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:01,439
Speaker 1: known relative. This process felt intrusive and safe. No other

2140
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:06,000
Speaker 1: organization I've dealt with requires such detailed information for account recovery.

2141
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about how this data is being used and stored,

2142
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: whether it puts me at risk for identity theft. Uh yeah,

2143
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean eBay, that's a lot of info,

2144
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 1: but it's really full name of data, birth home address.

2145
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought you were going to say social

2146
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: but they it's just that where it was issued. I mean, look,

2147
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: they want to keep that safe. There's a lot of

2148
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: scams on eBay, so I appreciate that they're protecting, but

2149
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 1: I get it.

2150
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:31,600
Speaker 2: It feels very intrusive.

2151
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 1: Richard writes in I signed up for LifeLock for one

2152
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, but I encountered issues when trying to add

2153
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 1: norton three sixty. When I called for help, the representative

2154
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: insisted on accessing my computer remotely and became angry when

2155
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 1: I requested a refund instead.

2156
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 2: Uh oh, this raised red flags.

2157
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 1: I began to suspect it was a scam to access

2158
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 1: my bank account. I hung up and contacted Apple Card,

2159
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 1: which immediately refunded the charge. I'm not sure what else

2160
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,600
Speaker 1: LifeLock my duo computer, but this experience leads me to

2161
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: believe they may be running a scams day Safe Richard.

2162
01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:04,160
Speaker 1: I think what happened is you. I don't know what

2163
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: you did. You dial a phone number, but all I

2164
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 1: know yeah you said when you called for help. I

2165
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 1: think you dialed a fake phone number, and they prey

2166
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 1: upon people that are looking for LifeLock. LifeLock is legitimate,

2167
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 1: so be careful. Never dial a random phone number that

2168
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 1: you find on Google for the business you're trying to call,

2169
01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 1: you have to go directly to that business website. Look

2170
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the page. Make sure you call

2171
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 1: the right number. People get scammed all the time just

2172
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 1: searching for a number on Google. Thomas writes in I

2173
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: heard you mentioned TVO in the past tense, as though

2174
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: it was outdated. I still use in love my decades

2175
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: old TVO premiere, but I know the end is near.

2176
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 2: Do you avoid new tvOS?

2177
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,639
Speaker 1: I also know that coxwill ston stop supporting cable cards.

2178
01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 2: What are my options?

2179
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not used a TVO in many, many years, Thomas,

2180
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: I was the biggest fan of TVO. You can't even

2181
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 1: imagine how much I love TVO. I TVO is now

2182
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: more of a service than a hardware. Your option or

2183
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 1: none of them are as good as TVO was. But

2184
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 1: Tableau and zapper box are the alternatives to that at

2185
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: this point. But keep using your TVO until it stops.

2186
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: That's my advice. I love the TVO software. Neil from

2187
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: Ohio says for people needing enterprise AI, many seem to

2188
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 1: have forgotten about Watson IBM as a whole line of

2189
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: Watson based products that can help create AI chatbots or

2190
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:24,599
Speaker 1: integrate AI into workflows working with products like Salesforce. It's

2191
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 1: more than just winning Jeopardy. People are making money every

2192
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 1: day deploying Watson X for smarter business processes. Sounds like

2193
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: an ad that was not a live read, that was

2194
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 1: just someone writing in. Ron and Barbara from Moreno Valley say,

2195
01:43:39,040 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: we watched your EV charging video and notice a potential downside.

2196
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 1: Full charges seem to take at least one point five hours.

2197
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: This is significantly longer than the twenty minutes we spend

2198
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 1: filling up our hybrid. We're wondering do people just sit

2199
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: in their cars during this time or are charging stations

2200
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:59,080
Speaker 1: typically near restaurants. Yes, the charging most people do not

2201
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 1: do a full charge when they're on a road trip.

2202
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: They typically charge for fifteen to twenty minutes and then

2203
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:06,559
Speaker 1: move on and then they'll charge for another fifteen to

2204
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: twenty minutes after that's up, so, you know, like in

2205
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: another two hundred miles or so. So and yes, they

2206
01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:15,719
Speaker 1: are typically in near restaurants. There's usually a bathroom. That's

2207
01:44:15,960 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 1: generally how it is. It's not the same as filling up.

2208
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:21,040
Speaker 1: People always compare, you know, filling up an EV to

2209
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 1: filling up gas. It's just not the same process. It's very,

2210
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: very different. You can also start with a full tank

2211
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: every single day. If you have a charger at home,

2212
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: people forget about that. Tom from Saint Petersburg, Florida writes in,

2213
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm a longtime fan of your show and wanted to

2214
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 1: suggest Chromebooks as a potential solution for some of your callers.

2215
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 1: I find them to be a great alternative to Max

2216
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:44,559
Speaker 1: and PC's, especially primarily for email, web browsing, and cloud

2217
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: based apps. The affordability, cloud first approach, and simplicity are

2218
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: standout features. Not everyone needs a high powered machine like

2219
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 1: a Mac with an M four chip. Thanks for considering absolutely.

2220
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: We don't mention chromebooks all the time because it can

2221
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: be very hit or miss, but go definitely with a

2222
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: Chromebook Plus at this point get the highest specs you can.

2223
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: Michelle says, thanks for recommending Uma for our business. It's

2224
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:13,680
Speaker 1: working great. And can you recommend something to replace word

2225
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 1: my old Microsoft word thirteen? I can't remember how to

2226
01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:20,439
Speaker 1: log in. They want monthly charges. Oh, Google Docs. Gotta

2227
01:45:20,479 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 1: go Google Docs free easy simple. Janet writes in, thank

2228
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,800

2229
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: and true and honest kindness to help those who don't

2230
01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:31,800

Speaker 1: Instagram to always set great examples of the loving ways.

2235
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you treat your lovely wife, beautiful kids, your

2236
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: parents and siblings. You and your wife set wonderful examples

2237
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 1: of how a loving family relationship should look like in

2238
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 1: our world today. Wow, Janet, are you related to me?

Speaker 2: Thank you?

Speaker 1: they were resonating? Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:21,000

01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: I do thank you.

2248
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:22,720

Speaker 1: I go through everything every week and find the stuff

2253
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 1: that you need to know. There's a lot of flash

2254
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: and trash out there, lots of it, lot of stuff

2255
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 1: that takes away your attention span. It's nonsense. I do

2256
