Producer Megan is joining me today. 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:35.760 Hello, how's it going. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:36.680 It's been a while. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:38.640 Welcome back, I know, thank you. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.360 I feel like I've been gone forever. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.440 You ever feel like that when you go on vacation 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:44.199 like that, it's just like you'll never come back. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:45.480 Yes, that's the way I feel. 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:46.880 And then you kind of miss it. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:48.080 Yeah, Oh I do. 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:51.920 I miss it a lot. I definitely definitely miss work. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.560 In fact, when i'm I'm such a creature of like 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.520 routine that when I'm not doing it, I'm like everything 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.880 is just thrown away. Like I slept late over my vacation, 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:06.399 I wasn't. I actually deleted Instagram and Facebook off my 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.320 phone before I left. That's smart, and I will tell 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.480 you the weirdest thing about deleting Instagram was that I 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.520 did not miss it. Like, so I figured out what 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.600 happens every picture I take when I have Instagram my phone, 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.400 I think, could this be an Instagram picture without it? 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:23.960 Never thought about that. I just took pictures and it 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.080 was really sad because I wanted them to be Instagram pictures. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:27.399 I was like, oh, this would be so good, but 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:28.520 I don't have the app, so. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.800 But that's good to detox a little bit. 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:31.080 It was. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.760 It was good, and then I came back towards the 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.560 end of the trip and put it back on my phone, 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.039 posted a couple of pictures. It was fun, but it's 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.280 weirdest one of those things that when you don't have it, 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.400 you almost don't miss it. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.080 Yeah, it's kind of nice to get a break that's 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.720 like a vacation in and of itself. 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.040 Yes, I do check like my email like a little bit, 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.040 like not as much. And that's the other thing I've 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.560 never done, like an out of office thing, so I 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880 don't ever set that. So people are like, Rich, I 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.880 need your your RSVP by like tomorrow, and I get 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.040 it like three days later. I'm like look, I'm on it. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.400 Like I'm in the tech world. There's nothing that's so 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.160 pressing that it's going to be that big of a 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.120 deal for you know, the week that I'm. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.160 Gone, you know, except for face App. 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.639 Just kidding, yeah, face app. Oh my gosh. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.840 So of course I started seeing all the people posting 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.639 these pictures of face you know, their old faces, and 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.399 I was like, I feel like I remember that app. 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.440 So I searched my email and I actually remember doing 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.160 this app like back in the day. So this was 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.040 like you're talking, I don't know. I think it was 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.320 like two years ago, twenty. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.240 Seventeen the day. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.560 Well that's a while in tech terms. Yeah, so I 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.360 have it right here. 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:36.519 Let's see. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.880 The date of the email was Tuesday, April twenty fifth, 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.320 twenty seventeen, four to seventeen am sent to my producer. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.560 Producer back then was Vanessa, and uh it was here's 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.240 the app everyone is using to make themselves look older, and. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:51.800 So fiz we were on trend. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.880 Yeah, well this app. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.440 I think I feel I forget how I learned about 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:01.800 this app, but they actually I feel like this app 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.000 was actually kind of controversial when it first came out 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.080 because it changed I think it changed like your gender, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.400 it changed your skin tone, like it did a lot 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.720 of weird things that people were kind of like up 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.880 in arms over, but we focused on like the fun 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.960 you know, old person anyway, So you've seen all the 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.840 pictures everyone in there, you know, and their mother has 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.480 posted the well maybe not mother's just yet because I 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.080 haven't seen. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.079 My mom do it. Yeah, you know what I don't 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.920 want to know right now. It's everyone. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.760 But the the big concern over this app, And as 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.560 soon as I saw this app come up again, I 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.720 thought to myself, oh gosh, camera roll access, right, Like, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.800 you don't want to give your camera roll access to 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.520 just anyone because you never know what they're going to 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.560 do with those pictures. And it's not just like that 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.040 your pictures might show up on the front page of 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.880 the New York Times. It's that there's a lot of 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.920 metadata in those pictures, you know, GPS data, and I 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.160 think Apple is is locking down a lot of that. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.440 So like when you share I think your camera roll, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.480 I think they said in iOS thirteen, when you share 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.000 pictures now, it's not to include your metadata, which is 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.000 smart because they knew that like anytime you share a picture, out. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.640 It goes with your GPS, which can reveal a lot. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.480 If you took a picture at your house, people know. 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:09.880 Where you live. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.600 If you take ten pictures, they analyze you know your 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.520 camera role. They can see where you work, where you live, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.400 where you go to the gym, because you see those 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.120 patterns of where you take pictures. Hopefully you're not taking 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.880 too many at the gym, right unless you're one of 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.479 those people that does that. Yeah, And I have my 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.560 thoughts on those people, and we all know them, we. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.680 Know we do know that I know a lot of 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.840 you know them, and you know that so funny. 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.000 Not as bad as people that take bathroom selfies, though 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.320 I can deal with the gym selfie. Bathroom selfie is 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.760 like next level, like come on, so cool. The big 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:44.880 thing about the face app is that it's made by 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.039 Russian developers. Now, I think that this app is actually 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.520 just fine. I have not taken a deep dive. I 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.200 have not toward the developers offices or anything like that. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.520 But my guess is that what they're doing here is 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.080 they're using artificial intelligence to make you look old. The 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.840 technology is actually pretty good. And I have been to 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.520 Russia and I actually went to a tech convention in Russia, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.400 and they're doing a lot of interesting things with tech 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.479 over in Russia. I'm not defending that country, but I'm 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.760 just saying that I think this app, when it comes 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.840 to privacy concerns, is probably just fine. I think that 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.400 there should always be a concern when you're sharing your 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.560 pictures in an app. But tech Crunch did talk to 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.520 the developer and he did kind of go over some 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.600 of the claims that people have had with it, some 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.200 of the issues, and a couple of things that they said. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.080 Number one, they do not upload your entire camera role. 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.280 They just upload the picture that you select, so that's 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.760 number one. Then they say most images are deleted from 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.600 servers within forty eight hours from the upload date. They 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.440 say no user data is transferred to Russia, so apparently 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.359 they use Amazon's Web Services and Google Cloud to process this, 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.680 which apparently, I guess are here in the US. So 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.360 that's why they say it doesn't go to Russia, which 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:53.880 I don't know if I believe, because I feel like 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.680 some of your data has to go to Russia, but 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.120 maybe not. They say they don't share any user data 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.840 with third parties. To delete your data from the app, 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.760 is kind of tough because I think these guys made 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.080 this app and they never really thought it would go 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:05.760 viral this way. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.599 So the way you have to delete your data is 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:08.160 really tough. 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.040 You can't just like you have to send them like 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.880 a bug report with the word privacy in the subject line, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.680 which is not really that easy. Time and he said, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.400 most people don't log in, So bottom line, would I 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.080 use this app? Yes, it's on my phone. No, I 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.480 did not allow the camera roll access. You did, right, 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.920 so I mean and the developer said, look, you can 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.920 use an internet kind of like network sniffing program to 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.880 kind of see the data that's going off your phone, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.120 and you'll notice that as soon as you press except 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.480 to the camera roll. We're not just sending all of 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.919 your pictures up to the cloud. Like you can see 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.159 that on a server kind of an analysis, you know, 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.920 like you can see the data flow. Apparently they say 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.479 that you can do that, it's not going to happen. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.320 So the way that I would be okay with this app, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.600 and the way that I did it on my phone 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.680 is there's a way to allow access to your camera 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.640 to take a selfie and then affect that picture. Now, 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.400 you say, Rich I mean, isn't that worse to give 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.080 them access to your camera because aren't they going to 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.080 activate your camera on your phone and listen to you 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.640 and spy and oh my gosh. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.080 But I don't think they're gonna do that either, So 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:11.560 do what you want. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.640 But you know, when it comes to any of these apps, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.760 I think the bottom line is that it's good that 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.680 people are much more aware of our privacy totally. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.280 So yeah, people care. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.400 What do you make of the app? Do you think it? 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.400 I mean, if the pictures are fun, you can't deny that. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.560 But I'm probably going to delete it in a week. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:26.080 Yeah. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.480 And if I delete it, do they still have access 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:29.680 to like all my photos? 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.120 Well, it depends what you think. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.000 If you think that as soon as you gave them 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.440 access to that you know, camera role, they just immediately started, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.000 you know, taking in every picture, right, so by the 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.800 time you delete it off your phone, it's too late. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.840 The damage is done. I don't think that's happening. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.960 But again, I think it's good that people are aware 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.920 of the fact that we should be aware of the 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.120 privacy implications of any app that we download to our phones. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.720 But I think if you want to look at some apps, 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.920 or even worse. You look at the facebooks of the world. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.840 You look at the twitters of the world, and the 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.600 Instagrams and the snapchats. They're taking all this stuff and 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.600 all the stuff that we upload. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.080 And they have you know. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.880 So look, it's it's you know, as long as we 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.080 know that we're aware of this stuff, I think that's 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:11.600 the best thing. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.760 Yeah, so I agree. Let's start with a question from you, Megan. 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:19.480 Okay, so our first question comes from Shirley Lopez. Which 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.520 smartphone is best for starter? I am seventy nine and 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.560 I'm preparing to move to a smartphone from a flip phone. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.640 After researching, I'm thinking IP seven looks best for my 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.800 needs sell, email, texting, FaceTime, camera, just the basics. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:36.480 Am I on. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.080 Target IP seven? When you first said that, I thought 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.080 that she meant so. In the tech world, there's something 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.600 called an IP rating, like or is it IPX? 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:47.360 Yeah? 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.080 IPX, So it's like, you know that basically says like 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.960 how waterproof a phone is. So when she said IP seven, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.520 I was like, oh, what she wants a waterproof phone? 0:08:55.600 --> 0:09:00.560 But no, she means iPhone seven. Oh, so okay, iPhone seven. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.840 At this point, is I feel like it's getting kind 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.320 of tired. You know, you had the iPhone seven. Yeah, 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.120 the iPhone eight is. I mean, I would say I 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.400 think that the iPhone ten R would be her best bet, 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.520 and I recommend that to almost everyone that asks me 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.720 for a starter phone, because the ten R you're getting 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.840 the best of what Apple can offer, but in ways 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.040 they cut back on that phone in ways that don't 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.000 really matter as much. 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.239 So you're still getting. 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.400 A really nice big screen, but it's not as good 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.720 as the screen on the iPhone ten or the Tennis Max. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.960 You're getting an LCD screen versus an OLED screen, so 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.360 it's not gonna be as bright or as clear or vibrant, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:37.920 but it's going to be just fine. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:39.320 With the iPhone seven. 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.880 You're also getting a really old camera at this point 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.280 versus the iPhone ten are you're getting iPhone or Apple's 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.400 best camera right now, which is basically the same or 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.280 similar camera that's in the iPhone ten S and TENNS Max, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.680 which is, by the way, way improved over the ten, 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.160 way improved over the eight. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.160 So let's see what else you're getting. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.320 You're also getting the full screen with the face ID, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.240 which is really nice, and I just feel like you're 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.440 doing yourself a disservice if you buy the iPhone seven 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:06.880 right now. 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.520 Oh, you're also getting the best processor. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:13.400 So you're getting the Bionic twelve, which is way better 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.200 than what's in the seven. You're talking The seven is 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.520 several generations ago, at least what three years? Yeah, so 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.800 the processor has greatly improved in this time. So for 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.959 all of those reasons, i'd say go for the ten 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.840 R and if you can. She doesn't specify which phone 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.360 she has right now, but I would try to trade 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.000 in your old phone for a credit towards the new. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.200 Phone, even if it's a flip phone. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.360 Oh is that what she has right now? 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.120 Okay, she's not going to get anything from that then, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.040 So you're talking for the iPhone ten R. Apple says 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.920 as low as four to seventy nine when you trade in, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.960 but that's if you have a good phone to trade in. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.679 So you're really looking at seven hundred and fifty dollars. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.920 So now seven hundred and fifty for the iPhone ten R. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.480 The iPhone seven is and I think this is probably 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.880 why she was looking at it. It starts at four fifty. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.400 But here's the thing, you're already paying four to fifty. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.600 Go the extra three hundred, sell some stuff in your garage. Yeah, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.120 and get the better phone, because the iPhone ten R 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.280 is gonna last you way longer. I'm talking for three 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.319 to four years versus the iPhone seven. You're getting a 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:14.559 phone that's already three years old. 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.080 It might have more issues. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:17.120 It might. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.040 Yeah, it's just yes, especially with the newer apps, and 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.480 it's just gonna be a little bit slower. So that's 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.640 what I would recommend if you ask me, and you 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.040 did because you emailed me. 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:26.560 That's why she asked. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.640 Let's talk Netflix. Because Netflix is a cancel in my house. 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.120 It's a big it's a big debate. My wife refused 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.560 to cancel. I think it's way too expensive. I never 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.640 watched anything on there. I tried watching a show this 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.480 year called Dead to Me? 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:42.560 Have you heard of that? 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.640 A lot of people watched it was like Christina Applegate, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.800 So no, I didn't watch that. I'll tell you the 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.680 things I've watched on Netflix in the past year or so. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.520 Dead to Me, which I only I think I got 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.200 through four episodes before I got totally bored, where I 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.120 was almost dead, like I thought I was gonna drop 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.000 dead watching this show. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.120 It was dead to me. Let's see what's the other one. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.720 I did watch the date movie that was was it 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.040 always be My Maybe it was like the one where 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.079 Subway had like a prominent role in the movie. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:13.960 I didn't watch that. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.120 Okay, so I watched that as a young adult. I'm 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.200 not the target demo for that. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:18.760 But I did watch on my wife because we wanted 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.760 to watch romantic comedy. And what else did I watch? 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.600 I think I watched and like one of those comedy specials. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.920 So long story short, I don't get my value out 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.360 of this fifteen ninety nine or whatever I paid to Netflix. 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.400 At this point, my wife loves it because she just 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.920 watches whatever junk they have on there every night. You know, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.960 She'll just find something to watch, which is what a 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.000 lot of people do. Yeah, but I tell you this 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.560 because Netflix, for the first time in the US in 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.880 about a decade, actually lost subscribers to the tune of 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.640 one hundred and thirty thousand people. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.840 That is insane. 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.560 It is insane because you think everyone has Netflix, everyone 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.680 loves it, everyone pays for it. But I think it's 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.080 become this thing where we just assume everyone keeps it. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.960 And at this point, with the price increases, people and 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.480 the content that really not there as much as it 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.200 used to be. People are kind of like, why do 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.040 I need this? There's a lot of other place to 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:09.079 go for content these days. So Netflix in general had 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.400 a major miss with their forecasting. They only grew by 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.240 two point seven million subscribers this is worldwide in the 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.320 last quarter, which is still great, but they expected five 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.920 million new subscribers. So you're talking half of the people 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.680 that they thought were going to sign up for Netflix 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:25.400 signed up. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:26.439 That's bad. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.959 Now, I'm not an investor, you know all this stuff, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.120 and I don't do like the individual stocks and all that. 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.319 But if you're an investor in Netflix, you're thinking, oh, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.040 how did this company miss two and a half million 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.840 people worldwide? Now, Netflix says it is not because of 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.120 the price increase, which for the average plan went from 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.240 ten ninety nine to twelve ninety nine a month. My 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.679 plan went to a little bit more because I think 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.680 I paid fifteen ninety nine a month because I have 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.920 the h the four K streaming plan. So but they 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.240 said that they think their content slate was actually not 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.360 that good and it drove less paid. But they do 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.120 say that the things that were good was dead to me. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.840 Apparently thirty million people watched it in the first four weeks. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.680 That's mainly because there was nothing else on there, and 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.640 so that's why they did that Netflix. I think a 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.120 lot of people like that show. I'm in the minority 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.520 there because people did like it. My sisters loved it. 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.200 Maybe I'm not the demo. You should try it and 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.960 let us know. Yes, will The other thing that that 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.080 was a hit was The Perfect Date, which we did 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.840 have on our watch list, another young adult romantic comedy. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.760 Did you watch that? No? 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.760 Okay, Wow, you're like the worst netflixer. What did you 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:32.520 watch on Netflix? 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:32.800 Megan? 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.240 What's the one with Jennifer Aniston? 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.600 And that is the murder mystery movie? 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:38.080 I watched that? 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:38.440 Okay? 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.040 It was weird. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.640 Okay, so you didn't like that. See, that's the only 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.640 thing I wanted to watch because I love Adam Saymer 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.600 watch that. I haven't had a chance, and I was. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.320 I know, I know, I worked on the plane there 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.840 and back. Would you believe I did not work. I 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.480 did not watch anything on the plane. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.400 I know. I just I'm a workaholic. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.240 Yeah, you really checked my email yesterday? And then the 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.640 way out there, I don't even know what I did. 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.560 I think I don't even know what I did. I 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.280 didn't watch anything. I did not watch a movie on 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.080 the plane, which is so dumb. Anyway, The thing that 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:06.920 I do watch on Netflix once in a while is 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:07.560 called Friends. 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:08.320 Have you heard of this show? 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:09.960 Yes? I was about to Yes. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.920 And that's leaving and the office. So here are the 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.760 things we have to look forward to in the next 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:19.920 couple of months. Disney's launching their streaming service. Apple is 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.840 launching their streaming service. Warner Media is launching some weird 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.960 thing called HBO Max, like could you not have thought of. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:27.760 A better name? 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.640 The dumbest name since the iPhone Max. NBCU is launching 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.600 something so again, this is going to be a problem 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.560 for Netflix because where do you put all your subscription dollars. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.400 It's getting a little bit crazy out there. 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.479 Do you think they're getting really nervous? 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.320 I don't, because I think that Netflix is pretty is 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:46.520 pretty splished. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:47.160 No. 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.480 I think they're pretty full of themselves and they think 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.280 that they can do no wrong. And I think they 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.560 will realize when people can jump around pretty easily to 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.200 these things. And there isn't a main show that you 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.200 must watch like, I bet HBO lost a lot of 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.160 people after Game of Thrones went away totally because it's like, well, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.760 what am I watching on HBO right now? 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.880 Can you name another hit right now? On there? 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:07.520 No? 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.240 Oh, big little lies? 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.520 That is okay, that is true. They did transition to that, 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:12.440 and I am watching. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.600 That with my yeah. Yeah. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.920 So what was I going to say about Netflix? 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.480 I'm curious to see the one hundred and thirty thousand 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.000 people that left, like what they watched. What if it 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.120 was like just The Office or Friends and they were. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.040 Like, well, don't forget, it's one hundred and thirty thousand 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.360
