Last Pass makes some big changes and not 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.000 everyone's gonna like them. New Samsung features come to last 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.840 year's phones. Plus your tech questions answered. What's going on? 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.440 I'm Rich Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.760 podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.280 you should know about. It's also the place where I 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.400 answer the questions you send me. My name is Rich Dmiro, 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.199 tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Hope 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:45.199 you are having a wonderful, wonderful day. I know, I 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.319 know not the best of circumstances in our world right 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.239 now with this whole pandemic, but you know, people are 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.240 getting vaccinated and the numbers are coming down, which is nice. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.440 It feels good. It feels like we're getting to a 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.400 place where there is some light at the end of 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:05.240 the tunnel, and I am excited for that. So thanks 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.240 for doing your part. Ten years at KTLA, That's what 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.760 I'm celebrating this week. Ten years at KTLA. I can't 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.759 believe it. I truly cannot believe that I have been 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.280 at this TV station for ten years. So just to 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.039 give you some perspective, when I joined KTLA, I had 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:27.039 no kids, now I have two. Probably had a lot 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:32.720 less wrinkles. Let's see what else. Oh, gosh, it probably 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.839 went through two different cars, three different cars, perhaps, God. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.119 I mean just so many things. I mean, so much 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.240 has changed in ten years. But I will say one 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:47.040 thing is, oh, two different studios, I mean, you know, 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.320 different producers. I mean, it's really been interesting because when 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.040 you're doing something for that long, it doesn't feel like 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.080 that long. Like I can remember the day that I 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.720 walked into KTLA, literally can remember the day. I could 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.320 remember my first story. I could remember my first interactions 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.200 with people I'll never forget. I wrote down everyone's name 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.560 that I met in in an ever not note so 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.800 that I could like go back and memorize names of 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.920 all the producers and all these people. And so I 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.960 wonder if I could find that note because I had 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.760 everyone's name, because I wanted to like make sure that 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.120 I was doing the right thing. This was a big 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.320 jump for me. And one thing that has not changed 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.919 is really, you know, just well, I guess it has. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.360 I guess it's evolved the way that I do things, 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.519 the way that I do my stories. I mean, I 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.560 you know, I didn't really know what I was doing 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.160 when I came into there. You know, I knew that 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.799 I wanted to do tech, but I wasn't sure. And 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.320 now I think the biggest change is that I am 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.840 so honed in on my stories and what I think 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.359 a story on TV should be and who I think 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.639 it should be for. And a lot of it comes 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.360 down to just helping people like this podcast. Like I 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.040 take for granted that I cover tech news twenty four 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.400 to seven. It's all I think about. It's all on 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.040 you know, saturated with every day, day in, day out. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.640 And then I talk to a regular person and I 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.799 realize that the stuff that I am just immersed with, 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.600 they have no clue, and it's like wow. So this 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.760 is why people like to watch the segment, because I 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.799 am sitting here taking all this information in about the 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.360 tech world and distilling it into something that you need 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.960 to know about. And that's for me too. I mean 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.119 I do the same thing with people that I read 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.680 and people that I look up to that you know, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.280 do nutrition or you know, like I've talked about this 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.280 guy that I follow on YouTube, flave City, and he's 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.920 the guy that I look to to find things in 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.480 target that are good and healthy for you when you shop. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.880 And I don't know about that stuff, but he does 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.400 because he's sitting there taking the time to go through 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.000 it all. And so again it's like this circle that 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.800 you know, I cover this stuff and keep track of 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.920 it so that you don't have to. And if you're 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.200 a tech enthusiast, of course you're a little bit more involved. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.720 But most of the people that are watching on KTLA 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.800 and our other partner stations are just I call them 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.440 drive by techies. They're just watching the news and all 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.960 of a sudden, my segment comes on and I explain, 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.520 you know, the new Clubhouse app and they're like, oh, interesting, 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.280 I haven't heard of that before. But then all of 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.760 a sudden they're at a you know, a little get 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.880 together with their with their niece or nephew or whatever, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.159 and someone's like, oh, I'm using Clubhouse, and like, I 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.120 know what that is. I heard it on the news 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.359 and that's what it's all about. So thank you for 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.800 ten great years. It's it's been awesome. I'm not going 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:36.360 anywhere anytime soon, so I'll be here for another couple 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.359 of years, you know. I mean, it's just continues on 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.000 and I will continue to grow the product, grow what 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.400 I do, and just continue to reach people in new ways. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.440 So thank you for being a part of it. All. Right, 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.440 let's get started with the first story of the week. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.880 This is always interesting to me, so Samsung. Not a 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.320 huge story, but Samsung this week announced that the features 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.480 from the Galaxy twenty one are coming to the Galaxy 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.239 S twenty and not every feature, but a lot of them. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.040 And what I think is funny about this is that 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.200 they don't really say this information at the beginning when 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.560 they're selling the S twenty one because they don't want 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.520 to give you that information. They want you to wonder, hmmm, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.840 is this new object eraser coming to other phones? I 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.279 don't know. I guess I'll just have to buy the 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.000 new one. And so it's like clockwork that we see 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.720 as soon as the initial marketing push is over, and 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.159 it's been about four weeks for the Samsung Galaxy S 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.760 twenty one series, now they're like, oh, oh, by the way, 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.159 if you didn't buy one, we're just gonna give you 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.200 some of those features and some of the features coming 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.479 to the Let's see, it's the S twenty, S twenty 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.720 plus S twenty Ultra S twenty FE which was a 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.520 huge seller last year, Galaxy Note twenty series and the 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.320 Galaxy Z foll two and the Z Flip. So here's 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.120 the update which is rolling out right now. It's called 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.280 one UI three point one. You'll get an improved single take. 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.680 I'm not a huge fan of the single take feature. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.520 I think it takes a lot of unnecessary pictures. But 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.760 I could see how it could be useful in certain circumstances, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.440 like if your kid is jumping off, like, you know, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.839 a rock into the water or something, which why would 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.599 your kid be doing that, you know, like they'd probably 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.920 be a teenager. Actually, I don't want anyone jumping off 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.280 any rocks anytime. I see that. And I grew up 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.400 going to lakes. Believe me, I've seen plenty of people 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.440 jump off rocks into the lake. I just wasn't one 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.840 of them. I'm just too like, I can't do it, 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.520 you know, it's just not my thing. So bad example, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.280 But let's say they're blowing out birthday cake candles, then 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.720 this is where you'd want the single take because with 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.080 one shutter hit or you know, click of the shutter, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.440 it will take some pictures. It will take some videos, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.120 it will take some white angles, black and white color whatever, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.800 and so you get all these variety of pictures with 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.080 a variety of lenses all at once, and it's cool. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.440 But I find that you just get a lot of 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.279 stuff that you don't really need. But there are definitely 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.800 some circumstances where that would be cool. Object Eraser, which 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.400 I think is just amazing. If you haven't watched my 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.000 YouTube video on it, please go to YouTube and search 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.560 rich on Tech object Eraser Samsung. It's so cool. You 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.160 take a picture, you go to object Eraser, you tap 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:09.760 the thing you don't want in the picture, and it 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:15.800 removes it pretty amazingly and effortlessly improved touch auto focus 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.920 and auto exposure controller. I wasn't really aware of that one, 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.960 but it's there. And then multi mic recording, which in 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.320 pro video mode you can record audio through your phone 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:29.000 and a connected Bluetooth device, so that's really cool. I 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.280 Comfort Shield, which is with blue light. And then Private Share, 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.640 which I think is a very very great feature. So 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.440 when you're sharing a photo from the gallery, you know 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.640 this is from the native gallery, not like Google Photos. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.360 But if you share a photo, it will say there 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.520 will be an option to include the location. And I 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.440 think that's really smart because, you know, especially if you're 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.880 just sending a picture to you know, Craigslist or something 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.200 or I don't know, whatever people do with pictures, you 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.080 don't always want your private information in there because it 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.240 shows exactly where you took that picture. So those are 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.280 the features from the S twenty one coming to the 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.880 S twenty So if you have one of those phones, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.000 definitely check for an update. Those are rolling out right now. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.760 All right, let's get to the first question of the day. Hey, rich, First, 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.880 thank you for all your help to all of us. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.120 I've been shopping for a computer for my mom. She 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.520 just needs it for email, web search, and YouTube. Do 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.520 you think this is legitimate? See the link? Have you 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.400 heard of these guys? Seems too good to be true? 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.040 What do you think? Thank you? Michael and Michael sent 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.559 this long link from a thing called I'm not you 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.840 know what. Maybe I won't say the name of the company, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.679 but it's just some random thing that I've never heard of. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.800 The domain endzine dot top and you click it and 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.839 let's see redirecting you to a MacBook Pro website I've 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.040 never seen before. One hundred and forty nine ninety five 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.319 for an Apple sixteen inch MacBook Pro with touchbar, ninth Gen, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.000 eighth core, Intel two point four gigaherts, sixty four gigs 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.960 of RAM. Oh my god, this thing is maxed out 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:12.360 four terabytes SSD drive for one hundred and fifty bucks. Now, 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.480 if you got this computer on Apple dot com, it 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:18.040 would be about four thousand dollars, and this is one 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.080 hundred and forty nine ninety five. Let's see add to 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.280 Karte and let's check out, and let's see what the 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.320 scam is here, because this is definitely a scam. So 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.360 an order, an item you ordered is in very high demand, 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.079 no worries. We have reserved your order so it doesn't 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.120 run out of stock. Before checkout, you have nine minutes 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.360 and forty eight seconds, and they have a sixty day 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.679 satisfaction guarantee over thirty two hundred and forty five successfully 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:49.200 shipped orders, and you place your order, and I don't 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.199 even understand what the scam is here. I mean, you're 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.160 just basically getting scammed as soon as you check out here, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.440 You're not getting a four thousand dollars computer for one 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.400 hundred and forty nine ninety five. There's just no way. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:05.200 So I get it, and I think, you know, let's 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.199 see what was it, Brian Michael. I think Michael was 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.439 pretty smart in having his spidey sense saying something doesn't 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:17.640 seem right here. So this is just totally now Here's 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.800 how we figure out if this store is legit. Okay, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.920 Number one. You go to the page that this MacBook 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.559 is on, okay, and I'm looking for anything. If you 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.040 scroll down, I mean, it's got a screenshot of the 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.960 Apple website as the description. Then it's got random pictures 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.200 of this computer that seem like they're from random people. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.559 You scroll all the way down to the bottom of 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.240 the website and there's literally nothing, no contact information, no nothing. 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.520 If you go to about us, congrats you found a 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.800 place with the coolest items. We have spent years searching 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.920 for creative, smart, and useful products around the world. No 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:04.320 contact information, no social media information, know nothing. This is 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.640 a totally bogus website that if you try to purchase 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.000 this MacBook from Number one, your credit card is probably 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:15.800 off to some marketplace that people will be purchasing your 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.640 number in seconds and you will never see this computer. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.080 So Michael, good job. If it seems too good to 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.640 be true. It is. I see this stuff all the time. 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.800 In fact, whenever I do a story on a product, 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.840 people send me screenshots of those products and they say, 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.200 is this a good place to buy it? I found 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.079 it cheaper? No, it is not. If you're not buying 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.320 from Amazon, best Buy, you know these main retailers that 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.920 you've heard of, it's probably not a good idea, especially 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.520 if the price is too good to be true. I'm 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.079 not saying you can't buy from a mom and pop, 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.640 but you have to make sure it's legitimate. Look for 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.400 the contact information, look for the return policy, look for 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.600 a physical address, look for you know, social media links 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.959 to their Instagram and Twitter. If they don't have any 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.199 of that stuff, stay away, all right. Good? First question, 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.040 by the way, Michael, I would recommend a chromebook for 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.480 your mom because if she is just doing email, web search, 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.720 and YouTube, why does she need more than a chromebook. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.280 So I would specifically recommend the new Samsung Chromebook because 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.839 they are coming out with a brand new chromebook. I 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.920 think it's the Chromek Samsung Chromebook two. Let me see 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.679 computing and sal a Galaxy Chromebook two. It's five hundred 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.200 and fifty bucks and it's a great chromebook. It's got 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.920 all day battery life. You know, it's light, it's thin. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.880 I mean, this might be too much for mom, but 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.480 it's just a really nice, brand new chromebook that I 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.720 think Mom would like. And it's you know, the good 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.559 news about this with Mom is that you don't have 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.920 to worry about any sort of Oh it also folds 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.560 back as a tablet. That's even better. Yeah, five hundred 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.600 and forty nine dollars Intel Celeron with US sixty four 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.240 gigs of RAM and or sixty four gigs of storage 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.760 and four giga by RAM. So you can get it 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.439 in Fiesta red or Mercury gray. And you could even 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.240 trade in a phone or an old tablet. So if 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.960 you have an old tablet that you can trade in, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.960 let's say you have an old iPad, let's see iPad 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.560 air eighty bucks off or an older iPad one hundred 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.640 bucks off. So do that. Speaking of chromebooks, according to 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.240 geek Wire, chromebooks outsold max worldwide in twenty twenty, and 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.160 this was at the expense of Windows computers. And this 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.520 makes a ton of sense because the pandemic had everyone 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.320 rushing to get a chromebook. People as I saw. I mean, 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.080 many people are rushing to get some sort of mobile 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.960 computing device for their kids or themselves. If you work 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.839 for a company, clearly they're probably going to supply that 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:46.600 for you. But there's a lot of other people out there, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.000 and especially kids, and chromebooks really were the way to 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.520 go for kids. There's a lot of very bad chromebooks 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.560 out there, and I think people experience that. But I think, 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:59.360 like I said, with this Samsung Chromebook, pay a little 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.920 extra and get a better, proper chromebook. Don't don't spend 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:04.679 one hundred and fifty bucks in a chromebook. It's going 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.720 to be horrible. It's gonna last you less than a year, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.440 and do the math. Spend a little bit more and 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.360 get something that's gonna last you a couple of years, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.680 and that's going to not make you want to pull 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.120 your hair out because it's so slow and so terrible. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.320 So let's see, Windows was down year over year five 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.800 points from eighty five percent to eighty percent in twenty 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.640 twenty market share. So Windows, when you think Windows, oh 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.880 so sad Microsoft nobody uses them anymore? Not true. Lots 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.680 of people use Windows. Chrome up four point four percent, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:42.360 Chrome OS four point four points rather so six percent 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920 market share to eleven percent market share in twenty twenty. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.040 So when you think about Chrome Os, wow, it has 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.720 a ways to go. And you look at mac Os 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.440 up less than a point from six point seven percent 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.800 market share in twenty nineteen to seven point five percent. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.840 So right now we've got Windows at eighty percent, chro 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.400 Home at eleven percent, or let's round these up. Windows 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.000 at eighty one percent, Chrome at eleven percent, and mac 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.280 Os at eight percent. This is according to IDC. And 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.600 so when you think about it now, I live in 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.720 Los Angeles, a very very MacBook centric town. You go 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.360 to any meeting, what are people clickity clocking on the MacBooks? 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.400 But they're only seven eight percent of the share, Chrome 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.840 books eleven percent, Windows eighty one percent. So still Windows 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.120 has the lion's share. And it just depends what you need, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.600 you know. For me, I use Mac because I like 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.080 to edit and the programs I use are on here 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.360 and Windows is fine. I think it's I think what 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.200 Windows is doing is really good, especially with the touch screens. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.280 I think that's amazing. When I use my MacBook, it's 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.200 and my kid, one of my kids has a Windows computer. 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.760 One has a MacBook and one with the windows, with 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.800 the you know, the ability to touch the screen is 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.880 just amazing, whereas the one that doesn't. He is always 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.200 trying to touch the screen, and there's so many times 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:00.920 when that would come in hand and we just don't 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.240 have it. So I think that touch screen is definitely 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.360 a feature that Apple needs to integrate into their laptops. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:09.840 I don't know if it's gonna happen because they've got 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.200 the iPad thing going on, but it definitely, it definitely 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:22.440 helps in many many circumstances. All right, let's see here 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:29.000 we have got let's see Sherry, Hey, Rich, I received 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.160 two voicemails today and an email telling me not to 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.440 use my Apple device until I contact Apple. Is this 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:40.720 some kind of a hoax? Stay thank you and stay safe, Sherry. Sherry, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.560 You're right, it is some kind of hoax. And I 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.760 see this stuff all the time, and it's so exhausting 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:54.480 because these scammers are just never ending. And good example, 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.520 I put on my Facebook page Facebook dot com slash 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.680 Rich on tech I had another woman email me saying, hey, Rich, 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.760 is this jit? I don't think it is, but just 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.800 tell me if you think it is. And it was 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.119 a screenshot of you know, an Apple case ID. Hello. 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.439 Due to a problem with the payment method, we couldn't 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.320 charge your account for your case and this, you know, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.320 goes on with this long case number that you know 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.360 they just made up. If you don't update your information 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.280 in twenty four hours, your Apple idea will be permanently locked. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.359 Oh my gosh. To unlock Apple ID, please visit this 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.960 link to log in with your Apple ID and update 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.879 your billing information, and it gives you an Apple Apple 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.840 dot com slash update slash billing which I asked the 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.720 person who originally sent this to me to send me 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.960 the actual screen, you know, the email, so I can 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.200 click the link. And I don't recommend that you click links, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.840 but if you're going to click links to see what 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.240 they're all about, what you do on the iPhone is 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.160 you press and hold the link. You don't actually tap it. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.760 If you press and hold, it will bring up a 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.159 preview of that link, and then on that preview you 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.040 can see in the upper left hand corner what the 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.200 actual link is. Because just because a link says appleid 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.119 dot com, that doesn't actually mean it brings you to 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.639 appleid dot com. What they do is they use that 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.080 as the URL, and then they hide the actual link 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.360 under that URL, and so when you click it, it's 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.000 a totally different link, and it's usually bogus. And so 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.560 in this case, the actual link when I pressed and 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.920 held it to see the preview, is an ninety one 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.480 dash S eight F four U five three sp dot 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.320 uc dns dot org. That does not sound like an 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.000 Apple website to me. And Apple is not sending these 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.119 urgent emails to you. Oh my gosh, you need to 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.199 update your your credit card information where we freeze your 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.440 account forever. No, they don't do that. I mean, all 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.199 I know is I get no emails from Apple. I 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.320 just get my credit card and actually, okay, so here's 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.520 what was happening, truthfully, is that I, you know, I 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.480 have all these little things that get purchased on my 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.520 Apple ID, and it goes to an old email address. 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.919 I can't seem to change my Apple ID to like 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:00.640 my current emails, so I have to use this old 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.800 email address I never use, which I guess in some 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.679 ways is more secure. But I really was trying to 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.360 figure out, like I get these charges on my credit 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.440 card or debit card for nine ninety nine two ninety nine, 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.440 a dollar ninety nine, two ninety nine, a dollar ninety nine. 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.119 It just keeps going, and I'm like, what are these 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.560 charges for? Like, shouldn't Apple send an email to me 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.840 letting me know what these charges are? Sure enough, they do, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.920 but they were all going to spam in my old 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.359 email address. So I created a filter on that old 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.000 email to make them not go to spam and also 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.800 forward to my current email address. And so now I'm 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.480 getting all these emails from Apple and yeah, they just 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.640 charge you. And you know they're not going to send 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.480 you an email that says your account's going to be 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.240 permanently disabled. I mean, that just doesn't happen. They're not 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.600 going to call you to tell you anything. That's just 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.600 not how these tech companies operate. So if these things 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.000 happen to you, and if you're listening to this podcast, 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.240 you're a little bit ahead of the curve. So this 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:52.560 is the kind of stuff you need to tell your 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.840 family members and just make sure they're aware. Because I 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:59.520 had this thing where my mom sent me a message 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.240 on LinkedIn and it said, hey, Rich, just saying hi, 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.880 And I was like, what, my mom is not on LinkedIn? 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.360 So I text her and I because I was like, oh, 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.880 she must have gotten hacked. I text her, I said, Mom, 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.760 did you text me through LinkedIn? Like did you send 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:16.600 me a message? Because yeah, I just found my password, 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.320 so I figured I just send you a message and 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.520 I'm like, what, okay. But the good news is that 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.000 I actually did not sort of interact with her or 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.200 do anything or you know, I wanted to warn her, like, hey, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:27.919 you got hacked, but I wanted to make sure so 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.920 when in doubt, do a little research, check things out 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.720 and uh, you know, find the source before you just 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.440 hand over your information. Because these people are are really 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:42.640 really just ugh, they just they never never end, all right. 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.920 Last Pass is speaking of passwords. Last Pass is a 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.800 free or was a good free option for password saving, 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:55.800 and now it is no longer because there basically is 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.359 still a free option, but it's it's kind of worthless 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.680 for the average person. And I say this because last 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:04.800 Pass is now changing the way they do business for 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.199 their free users, and it's kind of sad because so 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.200 many people probably chose Last Pass because of this free 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.120 option that is now going away. And yes, you can 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.479 still get a free option from last Pass, but it 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.920 is so so cobbled that you're not going to want 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.359 to use it because it just doesn't. You'd be better 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:27.879 off paying for a service that actually works than this. Okay, 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:32.080 so this is their blog post saying each week millions 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.000 of last Pass users add millions of passwords and blah 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.119 blah blah blah for more than twenty million users. They 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.479 have twenty million users, and they have a free offering. 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:44.160 But they're making some changes. And here's the free offering change. 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.679 In a nutshell. You now have to choose what types 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.399 of devices you want to access your free passwords on. 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.760 You can only choose one. You can choose either computers 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.160 or mobile devices, but not both at the same time. 0:21:57.520 --> 0:21:59.359 So why is that a problem? Let me give you 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.480 a scenario you have. You've got a computer and a 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.040 smartphone and they both have last Pass installed in them, 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:07.080 the free last Pass. Now, all of a sudden, you 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.480 only get that option on one. So you go on 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.800 your mobile device, you choose that and you make a 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.160 new password, and of course, because you're using last Pass, 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.360 you're making a really strong password for this new website 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.399 that you're signing up for. Well, now you want to 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:23.520 log into that website on your desktop computer well, guess what. 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.359 You can't just go to last Pass and have it 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.880 automatically fill that password in on your browser, nor can 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.760 you copy and paste. You have to go to your 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.919 phone look at that password, and you know, bring it 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.600 and type it in on your computer and it's going 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.399 to be twenty seven characters long and it's going to 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.199 be a pain. So now you're just frustrated and you say, oh, 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.680 I'll just break down and purchase last Pass premium, which 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.040 is what they're trying to make you do. Now, if 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.399 you have a Mac computer and an iPhone, yes you 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.480 can say, rich, can't you just copy the password on 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:56.720 your iPhone and use handoff to paste it onto your MacBook? 0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:00.359 Yes you can, which would work. But if you're using 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.720 both of those services, then you know you can use 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.440 my next solution, which is just to use iCloud Keychain, 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.760 which is built in It's a it's a password manager 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:13.080 that's built into the iOS and well the Apple ecosystem, 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:14.840 and if you have all Apple products, that's what I 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.399 recommend you use because it's free. I mean, you're already 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.520 paying the price by being in the app Apple ecosystem, 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.560 which is not a cheap thing to be in so 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:24.200 you might as well use it, and it's great. It's 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:26.959 integrated into Safari. Now you're not going to get the 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:33.240 robust features that a independent third party password management software 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.000 will give you. But if you're just on Apple and 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.640 you want a free solution, it works great. And yes, 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:42.760 it works very nicely. So Last Past changing the way 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:44.360 they do it. You got to choose one or the other. 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.119 You can see and you know, use your passwords on 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:51.359 mobile devices or computers as of March sixteenth, So this 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.280 is gonna have a lot of people either upgrading, you know, 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:56.879 and paying for the premium, which is not that expensive. 0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.520 It's it's if you build annually. It's two twenty five 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.080 a month. Twenty five times twelve is twenty seven dollars 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.359 for the year. No big deal, but it's more of 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.520 a it's more of like a kick in the shin. Right, 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:11.800 you signed up for this thing because it was free, 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.160 and they kind of got rid of that trust because 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:17.879 now it's like, I mean, there's still trustworthy business and 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.280 I still think last Pass is good. And it's yes 0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.400 to twenty seven dollars a year. It's fine. I pay 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:26.080 for password software and it's you know, it's fine. I've 0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:28.080 been paying for it for a long time and it's 0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.240 great and I get my use out of it. But 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.240 I'm just saying that I think a lot of people 0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:34.240 signed up for this because they didn't have to pay. 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:37.320 And this is why when people always ask me, hey, Rich, 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.040 what do you recommend for password software? I would always 0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:42.960 give them a couple options because I want them to 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.920 choose the best option for them. So in general, what 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.000 I would tell people is, and if you've listened to 0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:49.800 this podcast, you've heard this, I say, a lot of 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:53.080 people like last Pass because it's free or they have 0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:55.280 a free option. A lot of people like dash Lane, 0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.480 a lot of people like one password. And now the 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:01.840 new one that a lot of people are using, and 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.440 I might actually do a story with them, is called bitwarden. 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.960 And this one is an open source password manager. And 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.200 of course I think they still have plans and pricing. 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:19.600 So free is personal plans, free is zero, So I 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:22.200 mean you can get that for zero and that includes 0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:28.320 two people. That's pretty good. Actually, oh that's business plans. Sorry, 0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.160 personal plans free. Okay, it's free, all right, So that's 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:36.880 probably where you want to go. Now, let's see hold on, Yeah, 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.800 Bitwarden is free across all devices, So there you go. 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:44.040 If you're looking to switch now, I have switched these 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:49.240 in the past and it will hold on. I'm going 0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.760 through these. Yeah, we need to do a story on 0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.080 bitwarden because this is pretty good. So max users for 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:58.720 free is one access to the apps, item storage, unlimited 0:25:58.760 --> 0:26:02.480 sync across all your devices is. Yes, you cannot share things, 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.080 so you have to have a family account for that 0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:08.119 secure password generator. You can't attach a gig of files 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.919 that you have to pay for encrypted export so you 0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:13.240 can do that. So what I was saying is these 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.439 password management programs usually have an export feature where you 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:19.320 can export and then import your password to another one. 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:21.680 So if you're thinking of leaving last pass, I would 0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.520 take a good look at bitwarden. I have not used 0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:27.199 it personally, but it looks pretty strong and I like 0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:32.800 that it's open source, two step log in. It supports that. 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:37.480 Now it doesn't support let's see. Yeah, so I think 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.120 Bitwarden sounds pretty good. Otherwise, it's ten dollars a year 0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:43.200 for the premium and forty dollars a year for the family, 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:46.400 So I think this sounds like a great alternative. I've 0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:48.679 gotten so many people on Twitter to tell me that 0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:52.840 they're using Bitwarden. And by the way, you know, I 0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.520 struggle with this privacy stuff. I don't think it's a 0:26:55.560 --> 0:27:00.280 great idea to advertise which password manager you're using. Now, 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.920 I get it, you're you're not you know on TV. 0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:06.840 You're not a major, you know, celebrity or someone that 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:10.280 you know whatever. My point is, I think that it's 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.600 fine to telp your friends and family, but I wouldn't 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:16.480 post it on social media because why give the bad 0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:22.080 guys one extra step to figuring out where to target you? Right, 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:26.560 So that's my advice. And you know you're you're listening 0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.920 to the rich On Tech show, so that means it's 0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:31.119 my advice on this show. I'm just telling you what 0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.639 I think, and that's what I think. So there you 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:40.600 have it, Sandy says Hi. I used to watch you 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:44.919 all the time. Unfortunately we moved to Bakersfield. I stream occasionally. 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.880 What website do you recommend to find the cheapest flight? 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:52.360 Also our Tuesday's cheaper round trip. I need to fly 0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:57.600 from lax to Dallas Fort Worth tomorrow. Any suggestions, Sandy? Well, Sandy, 0:27:57.720 --> 0:27:59.959 this is a great question, and you know I use 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.440 to fly a lot. I haven't. I've only flown once 0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.480 in the last year, which is just wild to me. 0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:08.479 I can't wait to get back up there. But I 0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:12.600 only use one website, and that one website is Google Flights, 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.720 and that's flights dot Google dot com. I don't think 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.600 you need another website to search for flights. And the 0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:22.560 reason I think that is because Google is the best 0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:26.440 when it comes to finding the cheapest flights, the way 0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:30.960 you can slice and dice flights, even just popping in 0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:36.199 a place and searching and finding suggestions on where to 0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.800 go that are cheap. So right now, if I look 0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.640 from Los Angeles and I want to let's I just 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:44.920 want to do a one way ticket somewhere, you know, 0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.920 in the next six months. Let's just say in March, 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.800 I can now look at an entire map of the US, 0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.400 and let's say I want to go NonStop. I only 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.720 want to go NonStop. This map continues to change with 0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:00.760 all of the information that I'm putting in. Let's say 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:04.600 I just want to look at skiing. Now it changes 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:06.440 to skiing, and I see that I can go to 0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.800 Aspen for three hundred and thirty five dollars. On Wednesday, 0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:11.520 March seventeenth, or I can go to Reno on Wednesday, 0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:13.640 March seventeenth for thirty nine dollars, or I can go 0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:16.800 to Portland for sixty nine bucks. Let's say I don't 0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:20.720 want skiing. Let's say I only want to fly on 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.120 a certain airline because I am with Star Alliance. Now 0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:27.360 I can see just those flights. So I think Google 0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:31.360 Flights is just the best. It is so amazing, it's 0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:34.200 so easy. It's the only thing I've used to search 0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.680 for flights for as long as it's been around. Now 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:39.880 I have actually booked a flight through Google Flights. But 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:41.520 most of the time it links you right to the 0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:45.280 specific carrier, and in some ways it'll even find you 0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:48.520 cheaper flights because they call these hacker fares, which hacker 0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:53.160 fares are fares that maybe leave on one airline and 0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.040 come back on another airline, and so that's on there. 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.360 I mean, it really is good. So check out Google Flights, 0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.479 and to answer your question, I probably missed your flight 0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.240 that you needed, but you know this is what I 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.600 look at, and you can save your trips, you can 0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.440 watch trips, you can. I mean, it's just so full 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.920 featured that I love it. I just and you wonder 0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:15.320 where is Google get this information? Many years ago, they 0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.280 bought a site or I don't know, it was a 0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:21.080 company called I think it was called it Google Ita 0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:25.240 or is it x I think it was Google Ita 0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:29.680 Ita software Matrix by Google. So Matrix is from ITA 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.440 and they bought this a long time ago and it's 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.080 basically the software that all the travel agents used to use, 0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:37.480 and now Google has it. And of course the best 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:41.160 thing about Google is that the the information around the 0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.680 flights is not just one thing. They're using so many 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:47.000 signals to help you figure out these flights that I 0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.640 just think it's brilliant. And I know I love Google, 0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:52.240 but this is just one of those examples of how 0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.560 big data just really wins for the consumer when it 0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.440 comes to booking these things. And yeah, there's some ads 0:30:57.440 --> 0:30:59.400 and stuff, but the way that you can slice and 0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:01.840 dice the fly data is just so amazing to me. 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:04.640 I don't you know, Kayak does a good job too, 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:06.440 But I think there's a lot of there's a lot 0:31:06.480 --> 0:31:11.120 of like noise on these other websites, and I think 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:13.080 that Google Flights is just kind of the cleanest and 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.200 the easiest for me to understand. So that's the only 0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:17.840 one that I look at. And my personal favorite feature 0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:22.120 is if you are flexible with your flights, look at 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:24.520 the calendar view. So if I type in the flight 0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.600 that I always do, which is LAX to EWR, and 0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:31.640 then I put round trip one person, first class, of course, 0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.800 just kidding, I wish, but you know, you can put 0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:39.440 in economy, premium, economy, business, or first and then you 0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.040 just click instead of choosing a date, you just click 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:45.160 and wait a second, and the calendar populates with green 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:49.400 numbers showing the cheapest days to fly. And if you 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.640 just pick those two days, so if I want to 0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:54.480 fly there right now, I would go, Okay, March first 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.040 is out. Second, Okay, I gotta go to March ninth, 0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.960 which is ninety five dollars. Oh ooh, March tenth was 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:01.960 even cheaper, So I'm gonna reset the calendar. Let's go 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:04.600 to March tenth. And then I wait a second on 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.240 the calendar and I wait for the return dates to 0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:12.600 light up green, and the cheapest return date is the fourteenth, 0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:16.920 and I can go round trip for seventy nine dollars. 0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:21.200 Oh my gosh, seventy nine dollars for round trip to 0:32:21.280 --> 0:32:24.520 Newark Okay, Now this is on Spirit Airlines with one 0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.040 stop in Florida. I am not gonna do that, so 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.600 I'm gonna change it to NonStop, which is again. And 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:33.280 now I can go back to my calendar and check 0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:35.680 for the cheapest dates. Press reset one more time, and 0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:37.800 I'm looking at all the dates and the cheapest is 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.960 one ninety seven. And if I go on March fourth 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:44.760 to March seventh, eighth, I can go for the whole 0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.720 week if I want fifth through seventh, and there we 0:32:47.760 --> 0:32:50.560 go one hundred ninety seven bucks round trip. So that 0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:52.600 is how I search for flights, and you gotta be 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.560 a little flexible to get those cheapest dates. But I 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.560 just love how they show you all this information, So 0:32:57.640 --> 0:32:59.280 check it out. That's the way I do it, and 0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.640 I hope you love it. All right, what should we 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:04.840 talk about next? All right? I talked about this a 0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:06.719 little bit last week. I'm not going to spend too 0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.760 much time, but I got a question about do you 0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:13.160 install antivirus software on your iPhone? And on this podcast 0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:15.960 for many years, I've been saying no, no, no, you 0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.720 don't need it, and I got to thinking, oh gosh, 0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.640 what if I'm giving people the wrong information all this time, right, Like, 0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:26.920 what if I'm totally wrong about this? So what I did? 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:31.840 I went to a cybersecurity expert, Kevin Tatavosian. He runs 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.760 a company called cyber Duo here in Los Angeles, and 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:39.520 I said, Kevin, what is the deal with antivirus software 0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:42.680 on your iPhone? And my heart was like a little 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:44.400 bit shaky because I was like, oh my gosh, what's 0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:46.160 his answer going to be? Have I been giving out 0:33:46.160 --> 0:33:49.280 the wrong advice all the time? And he said, after 0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.840 a little bit of like one little breath, he said, 0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.720 you don't really need it, and here's why. And I said, oh, okay, 0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:59.480 I've been giving people the right information. Here's why, and 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:02.800 it's exactactly what I have been saying. He said. His 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.400 term was that apps on the iPhone live in separate containers, 0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.880 which makes them secure. The way I've been explaining it 0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.839 is that each app is sort of sandbox. And if 0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:15.279 you think about a sandbox, think about a sandbox with 0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:18.880 really high sides. The sand isn't going anywhere. You can 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:20.680 plain that sandbox as much as you want throw the 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.480 sand around, but as long as those sides are high, 0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:26.040 you're not gonna get the sand outside that box. And 0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.680 this is the way you can think of of iPhone apps. 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:30.920 They are sandbox, which means they've got really high sides, 0:34:30.960 --> 0:34:33.800 which even if they're getting all wild and crazy inside 0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.320 that sandbox, they're not going to affect other apps because 0:34:37.360 --> 0:34:41.560 the way iOS is is engineered, it's everything is sandboxed 0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:43.799 on its own, so one app can't reach out of 0:34:43.800 --> 0:34:46.239 that sandbox and grab onto another app the way it 0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.720 can on a Windows machine or even a Mac computer. 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:51.560 And so that's why I've said, you don't really need 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:53.719 this stuff on your phone, and you especially don't need 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:57.640 to pay for it. So that's that. Now. The other 0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.000 thing you did say is on Android, and I've been 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.080 saying on Android, I was a little bit waffly. I 0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:04.680 don't really think you need it, but there's definitely more 0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.880 potential for apps to interact with each other on Android, 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.520 and that's what he agreed with. So on Android, I 0:35:10.560 --> 0:35:15.319 probably would recommend if you are, you know, someone who 0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:17.879 may click a link that's bad, or someone who may 0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:21.279 be downloading stuff that's bad. Not bad, I mean, like mau, 0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:23.600 you know it could be potentially bad, like you just 0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.200 don't know, like if you're setting up your phone for 0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:28.920 a family member that is less than tech inclient, you 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:31.880 might want to put antivirus on there because it might 0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:35.160 click a link in one of these text messages that 0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:39.960 is less than smart to click. And so there's a 0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:43.839 website called what is it called avtest dot dot org 0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:47.000 that kind of ranks all of these antivirus software for 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.600 both the laptop and the or you know, desktops and laptops. 0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:57.200 And why is it coming up in German? Weird? Okay, 0:35:57.280 --> 0:36:00.480 let me get that English. So anyway, they I recommend 0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.399 a VAST and AVEG, which I would concur with. I've 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:05.520 heard good things about them. I did install them on 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.799 my Android phone. The only thing I don't like about 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.319 them is I don't know if this is an Android thing, 0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:13.759 but they have to have a persistent notification to work 0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.120 all the time, and I hate that. I hate persistent 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:19.239 notifications on my Androids. And what that means is it's 0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.280 a notification that never goes away. It just stays there forever, 0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:24.840 and it's like a vast is running and protecting you. 0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:26.400 And I'm like, okay, I get it. Can I just 0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:28.319 get rid of that? I don't want you there. But 0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:33.200 I think because of the way this operating system is engineered. 0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.879 They have to have that notification so that it can 0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:40.719 run all the time and basically take over in a 0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.480 heartbeat if you click a link that it needs to scan. 0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.240 So I think that's why. But there's other antivirus apps 0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:50.800 out there. You can check the av testavdash test dot 0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.160 org if you want to see what's good for you. 0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:57.560 And I think my Windows computer, you know, my advice 0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.359 for that stands as well, which is, you know, if 0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.600 you have a Windows computer, just update your software. They've 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:06.839 got Windows Defender built in, so you know, use that. 0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:11.200 And uh they recommend this website called on Lab a 0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:13.319 h N lab. I've never heard of that, but that's 0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:15.560 what they recommend. And then a VAST and AVG so 0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.720 I would go with one of those. They actually rank okay, 0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:25.680 so they rank Microsoft Defender way down. They rank it. Yeah, 0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.440 it's like tenth on the list. So maybe you want 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:28.799 to put, you know, one of these other ones on 0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:32.640 your Windows computer. They're free, so you know, it should 0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:34.839 it should help. But anyway, that that's the advice on 0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:38.000 the the iPhone antivirus. Don't worry about it an iPhone 0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.319 if you have an Android probably and if you have 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.040 a Windows computer, you might want to look into it. 0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.080 And if you have a Mac, I don't really think 0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:45.759 you need it on the Mac just yet, but that 0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:54.759 could change as max continue to get more popular. All right, 0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:59.319 Raymond sent a very cryptic email. All it said was 0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:04.200 how to save data and numbers. That's it, And I'm 0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:07.319 guessing he means he's switching to a new phone. Oh oh, 0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:10.920 his subject line did say upgrade phone. Okay, so upgrade phone, 0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:13.520 how to change, how to save data and numbers. So 0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:16.240 I get it. You're switching phones. You want to save 0:38:16.440 --> 0:38:21.800 and it says sent from Inxfinity Connect application. So my advice, 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:25.000 if you have a phone on iPhone, you can just 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:26.719 back everything up to the iCloud. So if you have 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.560 an iPhone, back everything up to iCloud, you can use that. 0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:33.200 Or if you have one of these third party apps, 0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:35.279 like if you have like Verizon or like AT and 0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:37.920 T and maybe T Mobile has one as well. They 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:42.000 have like these cloud apps that come included usually with 0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:45.520 like a you know, the higher end subscription plans, like 0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.040 an unlimited plan, and you get like a little maybe 0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.640 a little bit of cloud space on there, but like 0:38:51.280 --> 0:38:55.120 there's like a Verizon backup Assistant app. Okay, so if 0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:58.319 you yeah, how to use backup assistant, so they call 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.200 it Verizon Cloud Slash Backup Assistant. So most of them 0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:06.200 haven't installed. If not, you can install it by you know, 0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:08.640 searching for backup Assistant. So I wonder if they have 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:14.120 backup Assistant for iPhone. Let's see iPhone. I don't know 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:18.680 if they do. They may, it looks like it might 0:39:18.719 --> 0:39:21.960 be just Android. But anyway, so the point is you 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:23.680 can you can use one of those, but I think 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:26.200 your best bet on iPhone is just to use iicloud. 0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:29.000 Make sure everything's backed up into I Cloud. Doesn't cost 0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:31.560 you much if you're just doing data in numbers. You 0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:35.640 can also use Google. So on Android you can download 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:39.359 the Google one app. And so if you download Google one, 0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:41.960 even if you're not as paying subscriber, you still get 0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:45.040 fifteen gigs of storage for Google. And the Google one 0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:48.080 app has really upped the anti lately because it will 0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:51.640 it will save the things that you need, which are 0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:56.160 your contacts and your I think it does. Let's see 0:39:56.160 --> 0:39:58.799 what does it do? Let me see Google one. Oh 0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:02.560 on Android or iPhone? So on iPhone it will back 0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.440 up your contacts, calendar, photos, and videos. So if you 0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:08.359 just have a couple of things, you can back up 0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:10.239 all that stuff, which is really cool. So you have 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:12.799 this on iPhone and Android, and it does the same 0:40:12.840 --> 0:40:15.920 on Android. So I would use Google One. It's an 0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.680 app and Google Play and also on the App Store 0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:22.520 for Apple and you get fifteen gigs. That's probably the 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:25.080 easiest because you can just back up your contacts, you 0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:27.880 back up your calendar, back up your photos, your videos, 0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:31.280 and boom, it's all there. It's in Google. It's safe. 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:33.279 And then when you get your new phone, download that 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.560 Google One app and just bring it back to you. 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.680 Now this is a little confusing because it also if 0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.480 you're signed into Google, you can back up all your 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.360 contacts and stuff to Google, and of course your calendar. 0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:46.920 But I think that this makes it a little bit 0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:49.520 clearer that you are backed up, and I think that 0:40:49.520 --> 0:40:51.279 that's an easy way to do it, and especially if 0:40:51.280 --> 0:40:53.400 you're helping migrate like a friend or a family member, 0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:55.279 that's an easy way to do it as well. So 0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:58.480 I think people forget about these apps, but they are 0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:00.839 out there, so just search for them. And then there's 0:41:00.880 --> 0:41:03.520 of course third party apps, which you know you have 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.719 to be a little bit wary about those, because you know, 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.279 you are talking about your calendar and your contacts and 0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:11.840 giving access to the items on your phone. So just 0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:14.319 be a little bit more aware. If it's like a 0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:17.759 random app that you're, you know, downloading to back up 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.400 your contacts, you want to use a trusted source in 0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:25.080 that case, because these are your contacts, all right. Quick 0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:30.920 housekeeping note, Apple TV is now Apple TV app is 0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:33.880 now available on chrome Cast with Google TV. And when 0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:37.120 I posted this on my Facebook page, I was like, 0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:38.960 I don't even know how to explain this because here, 0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:42.120 let's let's break this down for a second. The Apple 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:46.799 TV app, which includes Apple Plus, is now available on 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:50.239 chrome Cast, but only chrome Cast with Google TV. Do 0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:52.840 you see how many things are mixed in there. It's like, 0:41:53.440 --> 0:41:56.000 I don't know what you're talking about, Rich, So breaking 0:41:56.040 --> 0:42:00.560 it down, Google TV is the chrome cast that came out. 0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:03.560 I think it's called Chrome Cast with Google TV. This 0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:07.040 is the fifty dollars chrome cast that came out. I 0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:10.960 think it was last year, maybe October and maybe earlier, 0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:14.440 but I bought one immediately. It has the best way 0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.239 I can describe it. It's the only chrome cast that 0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:20.200 has a remote control, so that's the way I describe it. 0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:22.840 If your Chrome Cast has a remote control, that's the 0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:25.280 one that is sort of an all in one system 0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:28.880 that I think is a great streaming device. And in fact, 0:42:29.400 --> 0:42:32.160 this was the one app that was not available on 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:34.960 chrome Cast with Google TV that I wanted, and I 0:42:35.040 --> 0:42:37.560 ended up going back to my Apple TV. But now 0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:40.600 I may go back to this because I really like 0:42:40.680 --> 0:42:43.400 this device for various reasons. It continues to get better. 0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:45.759 The thing I did not like about it is that 0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.759 the apps take a little bit longer to load than 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:52.000 I would like. It doesn't seem to be as snappy 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.120 as Apple TV for loading apps. And my wife she 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.359 noticed that too. She's like, oh, Netflix takes a long 0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:59.960 time to load. And so you know, if you're not 0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:04.719 getting access to those those racy scenes in Bridgerton like 0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:07.240 right away, I mean, you know, people get a little 0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:09.759 oh my gosh, what's going on. I need need to 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:14.000 get my Bridgerton fixed, right if you watch Bridgerton, which 0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:16.040 I didn't, I'm just joking because I know that there's 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:23.440 a joke because it's like the racist show apparently on Netflix. Anyway. 0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:26.840 So Apple TV app now available on Chromecast with Google 0:43:26.880 --> 0:43:29.719 TV and The reason I say this is because it 0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:33.200 includes Apple TV Plus. So the first thing you could 0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:35.560 do with the Apple TV app is access all the 0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:38.120 items that you've purchased over the years on Apple TV 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:41.200 or i should say on iTunes. So all the movies 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.400 that you had, like if you're building a collection, you 0:43:43.440 --> 0:43:46.560 can now finally access them through this Apple TV app. 0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.040 But more importantly I think for more people is the 0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:54.200 Apple TV Plus of ability to you know, ability to 0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.560 access those items, which those are TV shows like ted Lasso, 0:43:58.160 --> 0:44:02.600 the morning show Greyhound, which I did watch with Tom Hanks. 0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:05.600 It was a pretty good movie Palmer starring Justin Timberlake. 0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:08.680 I did not watch, but I've heard it's decent, and 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:10.520 there's a lot of random stuff like for the kids 0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:13.160 on there, like the Snoopy show, which my kid I'm 0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:15.080 trying to get him to watch that, but they're so 0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:18.040 obsessed with Minecraft that it's like tough to take their 0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:21.480 eyes off anything said Minecraft. I did. I did successfully 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:23.279 get rid of Roadblocks, though I will tell you that 0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.080 in my home Roadblocks is limited to one hour on 0:44:27.120 --> 0:44:30.760 a Saturday night and it's worked out. It's it's amazing 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:34.440 these these kids, the resiliency when they don't have something, 0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:37.200 they don't really miss it, and yeah, I get a little, 0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:39.680 you know, a little whining here and there. Oh, my 0:44:39.760 --> 0:44:42.520 friends are playing roadblocks. Well yeah, and guess what. When 0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.440 I talk to your friend's parents, they all say the 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:47.160 same thing. My kids are addicted to roadblocks and I 0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:50.439 don't like it. And so, you know, it's this, it's 0:44:50.440 --> 0:44:54.520 this honeymoon period with roadblocks where parents love it because oh, 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:56.480 my kid is so into this. Oh my gosh, it's 0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:59.160 like I can take a little breather here for one hour, 0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:01.920 two hours, three hour, four hours, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:06.560 unlimited hours because kids can stay on that unlimited. It's 0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:09.600 unlike anything I've ever seen in my life, because when 0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.279 I was a kid, you watched the show and you 0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:14.760 couldn't wait to get back outside. Yeah, we were couch 0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:18.239 potatoes on certain occasions, but for the most part, we 0:45:18.239 --> 0:45:20.880 were outside all the time. And I know him sounding 0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:24.320 like old man Rich, but I am. I'm getting older 0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:26.759 and I'm realizing that some of this stuff is not 0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:30.160 very good for our children. Now. I'm guilty of the 0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:31.880 fact that I don't just let my kids go outside 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.000 and play for hours without me being out there. But 0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:37.600 they can go in the backyard and play and it's like, 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:41.000 come on, you'll survive. My kid the other day told 0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:43.040 me when I said go outside, he said there was 0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:46.759 cat poop on the lawn somewhere. And we don't have 0:45:46.760 --> 0:45:48.560 a cat, but there's some cats that run around the 0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.680 neighborhood and they leave, you know, the little surprises for 0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:54.800 me on the lawn, which is horrendous, but it happens. 0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:58.920 And I'm like, really, the entire backyard is ruined because 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:02.280 there's one little area where a cat went to the bathroom. Yeah, 0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.319 I don't want to step in it. Okay, okay, stay 0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:06.480 away from that area because you know, Dad didn't really 0:46:06.560 --> 0:46:09.239 feel like going to clean it up. I've had to 0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:13.400 do that many times on our on our property. But uh, 0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:17.360 you know, anyway, I digress. But the point is, I 0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:20.040 don't know what the point was. But Apple TV Plus 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:24.040 is now on Google TV, and yeah you can get 0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:28.120 it and limit limit roadblocks time. That's that's my advice. 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.839 Limit the time we have they So the funny thing 0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:32.759 is now they're playing Minecraft. They get they get I 0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:34.960 think it's two hours of Minecraft a day, but they 0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:37.160 found this game on Minecraft, which I think looks a 0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:40.840 lot like roadblocks called egg Wars, and now they're just 0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:44.040 playing nah. So it's like I give up. You know, 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.480 It's like they just they just channel their energy into 0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:48.839 these little games, and I get it. All the kids 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.360 we played games. I used to get a Nintendo thumb 0:46:51.400 --> 0:46:55.520 from playing RC What was it RC pro Am? Is 0:46:55.520 --> 0:47:01.480 that it was it RC pro Am? Yeah? RC pro Am. 0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:05.480 Oh gosh, I'm really dating myself. Oh gosh. RC pro 0:47:05.560 --> 0:47:11.120 Am was developed in for Nintendo in February nineteen eighty eight. 0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:14.919 Oh god, yeah, but I used to get Nintendo thumb 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:16.719 from playing that. In paper Boy, we used to play 0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.680 that forever and all these other video games. But you know, 0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:21.960 you had to go into the basement and you know, 0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:25.640 you came up to go outside. That's what we did anyway. 0:47:26.280 --> 0:47:29.000 All right, let's take another question. Enough of my complaining. 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:35.319 Mario says, hello, oh, how appropriate. We just talked about 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.799 Nintendo And his name is Mario. Hello. My son is 0:47:37.840 --> 0:47:40.120 fourteen years old and loves to sing and likes to 0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:42.840 create his own sound slash music and is now combining 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:46.399 it with videos using a light motion app. I don't 0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:49.960 know that one, and for making music he's using Soundtrap. 0:47:50.120 --> 0:47:52.440 Can I suggest, Can you suggest what I can get 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:55.640 him to expand his interest looking for under three hundred dollars. 0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:58.240 We don't have an Apple computer, just an HP Chromebook, 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:02.759 and he has an Apple phone, Mario, So Mario, my 0:48:03.000 --> 0:48:06.399 advice is to get him an iPad. And I know, oh, Rich, 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.960 you only like Apple stuff. Oh my gosh, we stop 0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:15.919 recommending Apple stuff. Well, I mean, look, this is the best. 0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:17.920 You're saying you want to spend three hundred bucks. An 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.800 iPad is three hundred and thirty dollars usually on sale. 0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:23.719 The latest generation is about three hundred and so look 0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:26.120 around a little bit from a reputable place. Even Amazon 0:48:26.160 --> 0:48:30.520 has it for three hundred. Generally, Google search iPad deals 0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:33.680 and click the news and look for the bloggers blogging 0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.520 about these deals because they like to blog about them 0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:39.040 because they get a little cut of the product, and 0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:41.239 you know the purchase price, and so you win and 0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:43.640 they win, and we all win because they're tracking these 0:48:43.680 --> 0:48:46.320 prices for you, and you don't have to go search 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.400 in Google for these random places. They'll they'll do the 0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:51.480 math for you. So get them an iPad. And just 0:48:51.719 --> 0:48:55.480 there are so many amazing apps on iPad that can 0:48:55.600 --> 0:48:57.799 work with music and I think garage band is on 0:48:57.840 --> 0:49:00.799 there for free, so he can start there. I've never 0:49:00.800 --> 0:49:03.400 figured out garage band, but if but he's fourteen, so 0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:07.240 he will and you'll find he'll find so many things. 0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:10.640 Now he can use the microphone on the iPad to start. 0:49:10.760 --> 0:49:13.319 But I would recommend you probably want to get them 0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.200 a little microphone that he can plug into the iPad. 0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:17.440 There are plenty that work with it. You might have 0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:21.400 to get an adapter. You might not, but I would say, uh, 0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:24.040 you know, they do have a USB to lightning adapter 0:49:24.200 --> 0:49:26.960 for the iPad. Get them that and just do some research. 0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:32.120 Look at Blue Microphones. They've got some really inexpensive microphones 0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:35.040 for starters, and I believe one of them will plug 0:49:35.120 --> 0:49:38.080 into the iPad. So if you look at microphones and 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:41.120 you know they've got this snowball mic for fifty bucks, 0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:44.480 let's see if that is compatible with the iPad. Because 0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:49.080 let's see, uh this is Let's see can you use 0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:55.880 it with the iPad features and specs, USB output, plug 0:49:55.920 --> 0:49:58.480 and play with Mac and PC. So let me just 0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:03.759 google Snowball Snowball mic iPad and let's see if it 0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:07.200 works with it. How to use Blue USB microphones with 0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:11.120 an iPhone or iPad. And the answer is, it looks 0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:14.880 like you can. They confirmed to work with Apple Lightning 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:17.560 to USB and USB C T USB adapters as well 0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:20.600 as USB on the go technology. So there you have it. 0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:25.840 You can get a little it looks like interesting. You 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.040 can connect it to an iPhone. Wow, Okay, there's a 0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:30.640 lot of different Yeah, so just get the USB Lightning 0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.200 to USB adapter and boom you're done. So that's what 0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:35.640 I recommend. So you're talking four hundred bucks for a 0:50:35.640 --> 0:50:39.120 full setup and he can grow from there. And now, 0:50:39.160 --> 0:50:42.600 the microphone that I recently reviewed, which I am just 0:50:43.000 --> 0:50:46.120 in love with, is called the Tula mic to Ula 0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:48.480 and I'm not saying that you have to get this overnight, 0:50:48.560 --> 0:50:52.000 but it's a two hundred dollars microphone that records into itself, 0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:57.360 but you can also use it as USB. And I 0:50:57.360 --> 0:51:00.600 have not confirmed if it works with I'm sure, yeah, 0:51:00.640 --> 0:51:02.200 I'm sure. You can plug it into an iPhone with 0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.799 the with the adapter as well, So with that he 0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:08.000 can record music by itself and then he can bring 0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:10.719 the audio files into iPads. So I mean, there's just 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:13.200 a world of possibility here. And I love the fact 0:51:13.200 --> 0:51:15.880 that your son is doing this because let him be creative, 0:51:16.000 --> 0:51:18.160 let him make stuff, and I think the iPad is 0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:20.959 going to be the best way for him to get 0:51:20.960 --> 0:51:23.560 started doing that. Eventually, you want to get him a MacBook, 0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:27.560 But these these kids, I'm telling you, they are mobile first, 0:51:27.760 --> 0:51:30.000 and he may not need a MacBook to do it. 0:51:30.040 --> 0:51:31.480 He may be able to do everything he needs to 0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:36.000 do on this on this computer, so on this tablet rather. 0:51:36.080 --> 0:51:39.880 So that's that's what I re commend. All right, Let's see, uh, 0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:43.759 let's see. Let's see what do we want to talk 0:51:43.760 --> 0:51:47.560 about next. We got that, We got that, We talked 0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:49.680 about that. Okay, let's talk about this one real quick. 0:51:49.920 --> 0:51:53.560 In Google Maps, really cool feature. You'll you will be 0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:56.400 able to pay for parking meters inside Google Maps. And 0:51:56.440 --> 0:51:58.920 this is like a no brainer. I every time I 0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:02.000 pull up to a parking meet, it amazes me that 0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:04.640 I have to find a quarter in my car and 0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.480 pay for that parking meter using a quarter. Now, yes, 0:52:07.560 --> 0:52:09.839 a lot of the parking meters around here in Los 0:52:09.880 --> 0:52:12.840 Angeles do take a credit card or a debit card, 0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:15.360 But why do you even need to take that? Why 0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:18.560 we all have smartphones. Put a QR code on that 0:52:18.600 --> 0:52:21.000 parking meter, bring me to a page that lets me 0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:24.520 pay for that meter with Apple Pay instantly, no sign up, 0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:29.640 no nothing, nothing, just let me pay. And yeah, there's 0:52:29.680 --> 0:52:31.440 a whole bunch of these companies that have set up 0:52:31.520 --> 0:52:35.000 these systems that are super complicated where you gotta sign 0:52:35.120 --> 0:52:37.200 up and sign in and download an app, and it's 0:52:37.239 --> 0:52:39.960 such a pain that every city has a different system. 0:52:40.280 --> 0:52:42.040 Just give me a QR code, let me scan it 0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:44.319 and let me pay. Let me pay with Google Pay, 0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:46.000 let me pay with Apple Pay, let me pay with 0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:48.200 Samsung Pay. Is should just come up in the browser. 0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:50.479 Oh we see you're at parking meter two seventy five 0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:53.600 on North First Street. Would you like an hour of 0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:55.719 time or two hours of time and boom you pay? 0:52:57.080 --> 0:52:58.719 Maybe that's out there, but it's not out there in 0:52:58.719 --> 0:53:01.280 a big enough way. So anyway, I say this because 0:53:01.280 --> 0:53:04.960 Google Maps is now letting you pay for parking meters 0:53:04.960 --> 0:53:07.799 from inside Google Maps. And so now when you park 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.360 at a meter, you can look for a pay for 0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:13.160 parking button that appears when you get near your destination. 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:14.960 And this is okay, but I feel like this is 0:53:15.640 --> 0:53:17.680 a little bit of an in between technology. We're going 0:53:17.719 --> 0:53:20.520 to get there, but Google's trying and What Google's really 0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:22.680 good at is like taking you know, because there's so 0:53:22.719 --> 0:53:25.240 many of these providers out there that are doing parking. 0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:27.759 What they are good at doing is taking all of 0:53:27.800 --> 0:53:30.400 them and integrating them into their app and saying, it 0:53:30.400 --> 0:53:33.200 doesn't really matter who's doing the back end processing of 0:53:33.239 --> 0:53:36.160 this parking meter. We're just going to present a big 0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:38.560 pay button to you and you press it and boom, 0:53:38.600 --> 0:53:40.960 you're done. And that's basically what they've done. So they're 0:53:41.000 --> 0:53:44.960 working right now with up two organizations. One is a 0:53:45.160 --> 0:53:48.760 Passport and one is park Mobile. I did a story 0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:51.279 with park Mobile many years ago in Hollywood when they 0:53:51.520 --> 0:53:53.759 outfitted a whole bunch of meters in Hollywood with the 0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:56.439 park mobile technology and it was great. This was at 0:53:56.520 --> 0:54:00.920 least probably five, six, maybe seven years ago. And you know, 0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:03.480 now Google is just making it easier because how many 0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:05.879 people are actually gonna, you know, go to a new 0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:08.480 city say, oh, that's cool, they use park Mobile. Let 0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:10.839 me let me download the app, let me sign up, 0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:13.080 let me sign in. No, half the people don't do 0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:15.680 that because it's too much work. So if it's in 0:54:15.760 --> 0:54:20.360 Google and they're just using park Mobile's back end network 0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:23.279 and then on the front end, it's Google Pay. You're 0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:25.520 in Google. It's all signed in with your email address. 0:54:25.560 --> 0:54:28.120 You already you already have a you know, Google account. Boom. 0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:30.440 It's easy. More people use it. So I think this 0:54:30.480 --> 0:54:33.279 is brilliant. I love it. I hope they expand it. 0:54:33.960 --> 0:54:36.200 Hopefully Apple Maps will do the same thing, because Apple 0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:40.160 Maps is very similar. Both Apple Maps and Google Maps 0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:44.239 are understanding that people are using these apps as a 0:54:44.239 --> 0:54:47.080 one stop shop for everything, whether it's finding a restaurant 0:54:47.120 --> 0:54:49.239 to eat app. Maybe not so much yet, but it's 0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:52.120 it's happening. I get the idea that you type in 0:54:52.480 --> 0:54:54.520 Seattle and it gives you everything you need to know 0:54:54.560 --> 0:54:57.480 about Seattle. Not just driving directions in Seattle, you get 0:54:57.520 --> 0:55:00.200 biking directions, you get transit. So the other thing that 0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:03.319 Google is doing in Google Maps is letting you pay 0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.160 for your transit fares. So they're working with over eighty 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:09.279 transit agencies. Now, going back to my days when I 0:55:09.320 --> 0:55:11.759 lived in New York City, I will tell you that 0:55:12.040 --> 0:55:14.400 I could not half the problem of living in New 0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:16.360 York City when I was there is there was no 0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:19.759 such thing as Apple Maps or Google Maps. There were, 0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:23.799 there just wasn't, and so you would have to there 0:55:23.840 --> 0:55:26.279 was a website or I think an app called like 0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:29.279 Hopper or sub hoop or subway hop or something that 0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:31.640 you would before you went somewhere. You go on your 0:55:31.680 --> 0:55:34.239 desktop computer, you type in your destination and you would 0:55:34.280 --> 0:55:38.040 print out subway maps like directions to get to the place. 0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.040 And now when I go to New York City, I 0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:44.200 feel like I own that city when I'm on Google 0:55:44.200 --> 0:55:47.839 Maps or Apple Maps, because it tells me exactly which 0:55:47.880 --> 0:55:50.440 train to take, where the station is, how much time 0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:52.920 it's going to take me. And with this new update 0:55:53.480 --> 0:55:56.000 with buses and trains, you can pay for your fare. 0:55:56.520 --> 0:55:58.720 So that's the other thing is that, you know, if 0:55:58.800 --> 0:56:00.520 I was ever buying like a let's say I went 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:02.800 to San Francisco for the day, you'd you know, it 0:56:02.800 --> 0:56:05.000 would tell you you need to take the bar to 0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:07.400 this station, and it would tell you how much it is, 0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:10.760 six dollars, eighty five cents, whatever it is. And now 0:56:10.800 --> 0:56:13.759 you'll be able to tap there and actually buy your 0:56:13.920 --> 0:56:17.279 fare right from Google Maps and save that in your 0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:20.360 little wallet and just show that or scan it or 0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:23.200 whatever that you do for Clipper when you get there. Brilliant. 0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:25.240 Same thing, you know, Las Vegas, you take the Monteroail. 0:56:25.239 --> 0:56:27.399 It says, oh, you can take the monorail. You buy 0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.799 your monorail pass right from within Google Maps. Now I'm 0:56:29.800 --> 0:56:33.239 not saying, I'm not confirming that those two things are 0:56:33.840 --> 0:56:36.360 indeed supported, but I'm just giving you an idea. You 0:56:36.400 --> 0:56:38.600 go to Japan and it's like, oh, I need to 0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:41.400 take this train to wherever, and used to need this. 0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:45.480 It's called a sweek a card and maybe that's integrated now. 0:56:45.520 --> 0:56:47.600 So again it used to tell you how much it 0:56:47.640 --> 0:56:50.400 would cost to get there. Now the next level is 0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:54.200 to actually let you purchase that fare from right inside 0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:56.400 Google Maps. You are so ready, you don't have to 0:56:56.440 --> 0:56:59.840 deal with these little payment terminals inside the you know station. 0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:03.360 Oh gosh, let me tell you a quick story. Oh 0:57:03.400 --> 0:57:06.799 my gosh. I was in Japan once and I don't 0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:09.359 know if I took the wrong train or whatever I did, 0:57:09.920 --> 0:57:16.440 but I exited the train station and for some reason 0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.320 I'm trying to remember this story, but I could not 0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:22.920 get back into the train station because I did not 0:57:23.160 --> 0:57:26.920 have a valid fare card. So whatever I did, I 0:57:26.960 --> 0:57:30.560 really screwed up. And I don't know what I did, 0:57:30.560 --> 0:57:34.240 but long story short, I ended up. I ended up, 0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.080 and I thought I was gonna be arrested, And oh 0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:38.040 my gosh, this was like the scariest moment because I 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:42.520 had to go through the exit and literally go to 0:57:42.600 --> 0:57:44.760 the exit that I came out of. I had to 0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:47.560 go the wrong way and buy my fare card, and 0:57:48.080 --> 0:57:51.360 like I was like a salmon swimming upstream amongst all 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:54.479 these people, and I had to buy my fare card 0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:56.560 to get back into the station so that I could 0:57:56.640 --> 0:57:59.000 take the right train that I needed. And I don't 0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:01.120 really remember the circumst answers. All I remember is that 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:04.240 it was very complicated and I had no cash, and 0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:06.680 I it was like a whole big thing. Because in 0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:09.840 Japan it's changed a lot. But back in the day 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:13.640 when I first started visiting the financial system, like they 0:58:13.640 --> 0:58:17.200 did not take like American credit or debit cards anywhere 0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:18.640 like they do now, like they used to. You know, 0:58:18.720 --> 0:58:20.439 now it's gotten a lot better with tap to pay, 0:58:20.760 --> 0:58:23.160 But back in the day, Japan was very advanced and 0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:26.640 everything was taped to pay, whereas American credit cards were not, 0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:28.720 and it was it was either tap to pay or 0:58:28.760 --> 0:58:32.040 like a chip card, I think, and American cards were 0:58:32.080 --> 0:58:35.240 swipe and I just you just didn't have anywhere where 0:58:35.240 --> 0:58:37.680 you could swipe anywhere. It just didn't. It wasn't a thing, 0:58:38.080 --> 0:58:39.440 and so I think that's what the thing was. I 0:58:39.480 --> 0:58:41.960 needed cash or I needed a Oh my gosh, And 0:58:42.000 --> 0:58:43.560 I'm just thinking about it now because I haven't thought 0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:45.280 about the story in so long. But it was so 0:58:45.440 --> 0:58:48.040 scary that I just thought I was gonna be thrown 0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:50.960 in a jail over there because I went through the 0:58:51.080 --> 0:58:54.360 exit and I forget what happened if I ended up 0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:56.160 asking one of the people if I could do it 0:58:56.240 --> 0:58:59.160 or whatever it was. I did it and it worked 0:58:59.160 --> 0:59:02.680 and I'm still here. So but oh my gosh, that 0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:06.280 was That was a bad, bad feeling. All right, Do 0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:09.800 I have time for one more question? I don't think 0:59:09.840 --> 0:59:12.560 I do. I think it's uh. I think it's that time. 0:59:13.440 --> 0:59:15.800 I think it's that time when you hear this music. 0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:25.520 That music means it's the end of the show. I 0:59:25.520 --> 0:59:27.280 didn't get to talk about everything I want to talk about, 0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:29.560 but I never do.
