Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so excited. Thanks for letting me read some questions.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: So, I know every week on the podcast I say

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring back the phone calls. That is

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: definitely part of the rich on Tech podcast. Technically it's

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: just been a challenge. But I will tell you we

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: have Megan, we have new equipment, and we will be

26
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: getting those phone calls into the podcast. But for today,

27
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, you guys send me a lot of emails, right,

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: So today I've selected a couple of emails and Megan's

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: going to read them and I'm going to answer them

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: as well, in addition to the normal tech news I

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: do here. So if you're new to the podcast, if

32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: you found me through Leo or some other method, this

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: is the podcast where I talk about this stuff that

34
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I think you should know about that happens in the

35
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: world of tech.

36
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: Right.

37
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: It's not the podcast for you know, this specific tech nerd.

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: It's basically kind of just a lot of things that

39
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I find interesting, unique, and kind of the tech stuff

40
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: that I think the average consumer should know about. So

41
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: let's start with the story kind of of the week.

42
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: And this is kind of one of those stories that

43
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer, like we know this is happening,

44
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: but when it's put in print, all of a sudden,

45
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: people get up in arms. Right, And this is a

46
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: story about Alexa and Amazon workers listening to what you

47
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: say to Alexa. So how did you think that Amazon

48
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: was able to improve the Alexa service?

49
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Right? This thing is not a vacuum.

50
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: So what happens is, according to the Bloomberg article, Amazon

51
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: has thousands of people around the world that are listening

52
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: to these recordings that are captured in Echo owners' homes

53
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: and offices, and what they do is they make sure

54
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: that Alexa responds in the way that you might imagine, right.

55
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: So I gave the example of my video I made

56
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: for YouTube of if you say, hey, Alexa, play music

57
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: from the weekend, and all of a sudden, Alexa says,

58
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, what time would you like me to make

59
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: your appointment this weekend? You know that doesn't make sense, right,

60
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: So that might be something that one of these employees

61
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: listens to and says, oh, interesting, the weekend is also

62
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: the name of a band, So we need to tweak

63
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: what Alexa says.

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: And response to that. That's what's going on here now.

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, in the process of listening to these things, what

66
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: do they hear, Well, all the stuff that goes on

67
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: in your home, right, kids screaming in the background, people

68
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: singing in the shower.

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: In fact, some of the workers that they.

70
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Picked up what they believed was a sexual assault, So

71
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: pretty crazy stuff. But as you imagine, with millions and

72
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: millions of people using these smart speakers. There's a lot

73
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: of stuff out there. So Amazon said to Bloomberg that

74
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: they take security and privacy very seriously. And here's what

75
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you just need to know about this stuff.

76
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Obviously Google's doing the same thing. I'm imagining that Apple's

77
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. But if you do want to

78
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: turn off the ability of Amazon employees to listen to

79
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: your recordings, and they're not just doing this, you know,

80
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: like if I work at Amazon, I can't just be like, hey,

81
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and listen to a couple of recordings. No,

82
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: these are teams that are doing this professionally, you might hope.

83
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously people are probably laughing at some of

84
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the things that they hear. They're human, right, and they're

85
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: listening to these things. But if you do want to

86
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: turn off these settings, here's the privacy options. Number one,

87
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: go to Amazon dot com slash Alexa Privacy and that's

88
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: your privacy page for all things Alexa. You can actually

89
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: listen to all the recordings that you've all the things

90
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: you've ever said to Alexa will be on there in

91
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: a list.

92
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: You can listen to those. They're kind of funny.

93
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: But if you want to change this privacy setting, go

94
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: to the Alexa Privacy manage how your data improves Alexa,

95
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: then help develop new features, and toggle that off.

96
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: If you're on the mobile app, it's pretty much the same.

97
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Open up the Amazon Alexa app, go to the menu,

98
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: which is a three bars in the upper left hand corner.

99
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Then Settings, then Alexa Account, then Alexa Privacy, then manage

100
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: how your data improves Alexa, and then help develop new features.

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Toggle that off.

102
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: It sounds like a lot, but believe me, once you

103
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: get into the Alexa settings, it's pretty darn easy. All right, Uh, Megan,

104
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: do you want to do the first question because it

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: is related to this right?

106
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Yes, it is.

107
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: So.

108
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 4: This first question is from Kelly Russell, and she writes, so,

109
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 4: the Alexa app does keep a list of commands that

110
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 4: Alexa heard. It's a manual process, but you can delete

111
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: the commands in the app. So are they deleted locally

112
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: or on a server somewhere? That's her first question, okay,

113
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: And then her second question is in regards to Apple,

114
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 4: So she would like to know if Apple makes it

115
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: possible for SERI users to review and delete their Siri

116
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: commands or if this will ever be an option for

117
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: Siri users.

118
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: Best Kelly Russell.

119
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Kelly Russell, Thanks Kelly, great question. So number one, yes,

120
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: when you delete, so first has to do with the recordings.

121
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: And it is nice that Amazon allows you to hear

122
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: your recordings, right, because it is eye opening to hear

123
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: what you've said in pretty private settings to this voice assistant, right,

124
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: And people probably say some pretty private things as well,

125
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: So that's number one.

126
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: They do that.

127
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: Google does that, so you can also do the same

128
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: thing for Google. You can go in and listen to

129
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: all the things that you've said to Google Assistant and

130
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: you can delete them as well. Now you're asking are

131
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: they deleted locally? Are they deleted on the server? They

132
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: are deleted on the server, but we don't know what

133
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: the timeframe is.

134
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Are they deleted instantly? Are they cued for deletion?

135
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: And in the case of let's say, any sort of

136
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: crime or any sort of police you know, if there's

137
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: something where the police want a recording, I bet that

138
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: they can pro probably magically bring those recordings.

139
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 2: Back to life.

140
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: So just because you hit that delete on that weird

141
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: question you asked Alexa, does not mean in my brain

142
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: that it goes away forever. So that's number one and

143
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: on Google. When it comes to Apple, Apple is a

144
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: little different than these other companies. As you know, they're

145
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: much more private, They're a little bit different in the

146
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: way they handle things they say.

147
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: They take privacy very seriously. As far as I know,

148
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: you cannot access the things that you say to Siri.

149
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Now. I think part of that maybe is that they're

150
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: doing some local processing on the phone and they're not

151
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: necessarily sending it to the server. I'm not sure about

152
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: that part, but at this point, no, you cannot get

153
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: a listing of anything that you've said to Siri, and

154
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: you can't delete them from Apple standpoint.

155
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: So thank you, Kelly. I do appreciate that question.

156
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about YouTube TV. So I

157
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: was at the launch of YouTube TV about two years ago,

158
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: and they promised and I loved it back then, by

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: the way, and I still do.

160
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: I still think it's pretty amazing. I think what YouTube

161
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: did was awesome.

162
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: They basically built a cable box into an app and

163
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: a web version of TV, and they when they launched

164
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: it was thirty five dollars. There was just a couple channels.

165
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: There was a couple dozen channels available. There were some

166
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: that were good, there was some. Here's the thing, like everyone,

167
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to cord cutting, all they really want

168
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: to do is subscribe to the channels they want.

169
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: Right.

170
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't need fifty I don't need one hundred channels, right,

171
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I just want right now, I just want two channels,

172
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: which is Disney Junior and Nick Junior for my kids.

173
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: And guess what I have to pay fifty dollars a

174
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: month just to get those two channels through direct TV

175
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: now because it comes with eighty other channels that I

176
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: could care less about?

177
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: Right?

178
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: Are they nice to have? Sometimes? Sure?

179
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: If someone's like, oh, there's this great show on Investigation Discovery,

180
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: sure it's nice, But I don't need that, right And

181
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: I can certainly get that show a la carte if

182
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: I need it. So what we really want in our

183
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: world is a la carte channels. Clearly, nobody's giving that

184
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: to us, except for things like HBO and Showtime and cinemas.

185
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: But those are really expensive, right, So people just want

186
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: ESPN for five bucks a month or ten dollars a

187
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: month some of these channels, Bravo for a dollar a month, right,

188
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: CNN for a buck a month, but we're not getting

189
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: that anyway.

190
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: I digress.

191
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: But YouTube tv is raising prices once again, showing that

192
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: it's really tough to compete with cable. So their price

193
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: is going up to now fifty dollars a month. So

194
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: in the past two years we've seen from thirty five

195
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: to now fifty dollars a month. And YouTube is defending

196
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: it by saying, look, we're adding discovery channels, So now

197
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: you get Discovery Channel, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery,

198
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: Animal Planet, Travel Channel, and Motor Trend. And as if

199
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: that's not enough, Oprah Winfree Network is coming later this year.

200
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: But is it good enough?

201
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: And here's the thing everyone's complaining on Twitter that like,

202
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: oh see these cord cutting companies, none of it matters.

203
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: It's all the same price.

204
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: And I agree with that, But here's the difference to me,

205
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: and I've said this before, I'm not cutting the cord

206
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: because of saving money.

207
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: Right.

208
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: I understand that.

209
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: If you're Time, Warner or Warner Media whatever they're called now,

210
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: and Discovery and HBO and all these big companies, they're

211
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: not just gonna let their business go by the wayside

212
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: by saying okay, fine, We'll give you whatever channel for

213
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: a buck a month. You know, Animal Planet, We'll let

214
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: you have that for a dollar a month, because we

215
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: understand that you want to cut the cord and you

216
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: want to save money. No, they sell these things as

217
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: a bundle for a reason, because they need to keep

218
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: up the costs to do their programming right. And so

219
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: the reality is that I did not cut the cord

220
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: for the money savings, right. I don't think I'm saving

221
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: any money. I'm paying fifty bucks for DirecTV now, I'm

222
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: paying sixteen dollars for Netflix. I'm paying let's see what's

223
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: the other one I do, and then I do sixty

224
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: five bucks a month for my internet. So I mean,

225
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: you add all those things up, and yeah, it might

226
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: be cheaper than what I was paying for DirecTV before,

227
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: but it's still it's to me, it's not about saving

228
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: the money. It's about the fact that I can cancel

229
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: at any time I want. If I don't want that,

230
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: I can get rid of direct TV.

231
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: Now.

232
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: If I don't want HBO, I can get rid of HBO.

233
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: If I don't want Stars, I can get rid of Stars.

234
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: It's also the interface of the software. It's way better

235
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: to have the interface from these apps than it is

236
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: on a cable TV box. Have you used a cable

237
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: TV box lately? They're terrible, right, I tried to use it.

238
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: We're in a hotel room last week and they had Spectrum.

239
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Sorry to call you out, Spectrum, but the box was

240
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: like navigating something from the eighties or seventies. I kept

241
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: pressing buttons on the remote and it like didn't even

242
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: respond to me, and so I kept like mispressing everything

243
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: because it was so slow. I don't find that on

244
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: my Apple TV or my Fire TV. And so that's

245
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: why I enjoy having even direct TV now, which is

246
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: still you know, big conglomerate. At least the software on

247
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: DirecTV now is way better than what direct TV was.

248
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: It was so bad when I had that. It was

249
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: like this is what I'm paying like three hundred bucks

250
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a month for. So anyway, now you got a big

251
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: price increase if your YouTube TV and Netflix. This month

252
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: was a rough one because you got an increase on

253
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Netflix and an increase on YouTube TV as well. Now,

254
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: speaking of TV, T Mobile is starting up TV once again.

255
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: They are starting something called t Vision, and this is

256
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: kind of a relaunched version of something called Layer three TV,

257
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: which they bought a couple of years ago, and they're

258
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: relaunching this cable service in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Philly,

259
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and Washington, DC, all on April fourteenth. Now,

260
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to deliver this via wireless,

261
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: right they bought the company and Layer three TV pretty

262
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: much delivers it through regular conventional cable right. But they're

263
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: big thing T Mobile is saying because this isn't much

264
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: cheaper than cable. It's one hundred bucks a month. There's

265
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: a little discount if you're a T mobile customer, and

266
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: for people that sign up early, if you sign up

267
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: right now, you actually get the T Mobile customer discount,

268
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: which is ten dollars a month. So that's available to everyone,

269
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: and you get all the channels. But here's the magic

270
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're saying, look, we're going to give you

271
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: the best of cord cutting and the best of conventional

272
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: cable TV because you get all these channels plus all

273
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: your apps or a majority of the app or I

274
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't even say majority because I'm not really sure, but

275
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: they're promoting that they have Netflix or they're going to

276
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: have Netflix they're going to have Amazon Prime Video and

277
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: also Pandora. Now this is an unknown I'm not sure

278
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some hands on time with this thing

279
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: next week, but here's my thoughts on it. My thoughts are,

280
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: this is a good in between, Like if you're not

281
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: ready to one hundred percent cut the cord and go

282
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: to Apple TV or fireTV or antenna, this is kind

283
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: of an in between technology, right because you're still getting

284
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: all that goodness of cable but sort of packaged and

285
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: delivered in a relatively newer and better way. You're not

286
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: saving much money cause I alread said it's a hundred

287
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: bucks plus you have to pay for your Internet, but

288
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: it's smarter. The software is way better, so what it

289
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: looks like on screen is much better than.

290
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: Your typical cable box. But what I don't like about

291
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: this is that.

292
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: You're not on one of those platforms and being on

293
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: an Apple TV or a Fire TV or even a Roku.

294
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: That's where all of the progress is right now with

295
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: these apps. So you really think that the Netflix of

296
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: the world really cares that much about their app for

297
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: T Mobile t Vision, which like one hundred thousand people

298
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: are on versus Rope who where like a million people

299
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: are on or more. So That's why to me, it

300
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: pays to be on one of these big platforms because

301
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: you're getting the latest, greatest features, the optimizations much faster

302
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: than you are if you're on something that's a much

303
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: smaller platform like Android TV.

304
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: People give me a hard time, like Android TV is

305
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: perfectly good.

306
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Well, guess what, nobody's using Android TV, So the apps

307
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: on there are kind of forgotten and the selection is

308
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: not very good. All right, Megan, I haven't forgotten about you.

309
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh hello, So do we have any more questions we have?

310
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: Have you selected the next best question?

311
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: Have you? Have you put placed these as a special order?

312
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: No, it's it's not in any particular order. But now

313
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 4: that I know that there should be an order, well, I.

314
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Mean, you know they're all good questions.

315
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good.

316
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: You have another good one for yes.

317
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: This next question is from rich Landryth and he writes, Hi, Rich,

318
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 4: I have a Pixel XL and I have your phone,

319
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: and I have a problem with my track phone coverage.

320
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: Where I live, I get poor reception.

321
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: Is it possible to switch to a VoIP when I

322
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: am home and use track phone on the road?

323
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: Ooh, good question. So let's see. So track phone. Okay,

324
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: so you're using Trackphone with a Pixel too XCEL. So

325
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: the good news about Pixel two XL. What's really cool

326
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: is that it is unlocked, so you can pretty much

327
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: use it for anything. So it sounds like you're saving

328
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: some money by going with Trackphone.

329
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: And the coverage is not very good at your house.

330
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so what i'd recommend is number one, the vope

331
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: calling thing is kind of a pain because you're gonna

332
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: have to switch numbers and everything. There's not like a

333
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: way to just turn on voiceover IP calling on your.

334
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: Pixel two easily.

335
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: It supports it, and yeah, you can use something like

336
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Skype or a Google Voice or whatever. But the reality is,

337
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be a very annoying thing

338
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: for you to do. Every time you get home, you

339
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: got to use this thing to call people and this

340
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: and that, and every time you leave you got to

341
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: use something else the track phone.

342
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: So what you need to do is you need to

343
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: figure out. I'm on the Trackphone website.

344
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: Right now and it says that that Wi Fi calling

345
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: is supported for track Phone, So that's good news.

346
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: And I think.

347
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: It looks like you have to be eligible for it,

348
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: so it's not just like a given where you can

349
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: be eligible, but Wi Fi calling most of the phone

350
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: support it these days. Basically what happens is is with

351
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: AT and T, Verizon, T Mobile, all these carriers, once

352
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: you're in a Wi Fi place like your home that

353
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: has a good signal, it says, oh, we can route

354
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: these calls over Wi Fi instead of our cellular network,

355
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: and we'll just do that, and it's very seamless, you

356
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: don't even notice. Personally, I don't like Wi Fi calling.

357
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it sounds as good as traditional cellular calling.

358
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: But so I leave it turned off on my phone.

359
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: My wife does leave it turned on on hers, and

360
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: she seems to have good luck with that.

361
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: I don't like it.

362
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: But there is a place where we go, my in

363
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: laws house. They do not have cell phone service in

364
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: their home.

365
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It's been ten years and they.

366
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: Just it's just clearly for some reason, AT and T

367
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: and Verizon just have not found their way there. Only

368
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: T Mobile and Sprint work there. So when I go there,

369
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: my phone just basically does not work. The Wi Fi

370
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: does just not the calling, and I'm fine, I'll take

371
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: no calls anyway. Looking on their website, it does say

372
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: that they support Wi Fi calling. But here's the thing.

373
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: It just depends on the phone. So the phone has

374
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: to support it, which I know the pixel does, but

375
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: does it support it for the track Phone network. So

376
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: all you have to do is go into your phone settings,

377
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: turn on Wi Fi calling, see if that works. And

378
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: also you go on this Trackphone website. It looks like

379
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you can just enroll in Wi Fi calling by entering

380
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: your phone number. And then after you enter your phone number,

381
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: rich you just type in this mobile code to confirm it.

382
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: And it looks like you're all set up. So it

383
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: looks like there is something a little bit of setup

384
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: that you have to do, but I think it will work.

385
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: So, Megan, do you have good service at your place?

386
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: Do not get me started on this.

387
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: I have the worst service, like ever I have AT

388
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: and T, and.

389
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: So a're using Wi Fi calling at home? Okay, to

390
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: use Wi Fi calling? Do you notice a difference that

391
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: it may be better with AT and D.

392
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: Sorry? Sorry, yeah, I mean it's fine, but Wi Fi

393
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: calling is just what I have to do.

394
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then it says on the top of your

395
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: phone like msell or something like that, or like, yeah,

396
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: Wi Fi calling or whatever. We used to have actually

397
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: my in laws house the micro cell so it was

398
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: actually a little mini cell phone tower that you'd install

399
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: there and that would route the calls through the internet

400
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: that way. It's kind of funny because now that's just

401
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: basically built into cell phones, so you don't need that

402
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: extra piece of equipment, which is really cool.

403
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: All right, good question, keep them coming.

404
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: I'll let you prepare for the next while I talk

405
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: about AT and T being the first to offer mobile

406
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: five G in seven more cities, including Los Angeles and

407
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: also Austin, Nashville, Orlando, San Francisco, and San Jose. But

408
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: good luck trying to use this. This brings AT and

409
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: T's five G now to nineteen cities across the nation.

410
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: And what do you know about five G? Me? Oh god,

411
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: you just know it's faster, yeah.

412
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: And that you can do like cooler things with it.

413
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 4: Like I can't really elaborate, but you can do cooler

414
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 4: things with it.

415
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be better. Have you gotten that little icon

416
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: on your AT and T phone? Because they started rolling

417
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: out like a five GE icon. Has that happened on

418
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: your phone?

419
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 4: No?

420
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So someone emailed me and said, oh, is this

421
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: mean and I have five G if you have that

422
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: little five GE.

423
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: Icon on your iPhone. No, it does not. It just

424
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: means they're using a slightly faster LTE network in your area.

425
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: But it's not really true five G.

426
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: We do not have true five G yet for reals,

427
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: because there's no phone that supports it on the AT

428
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: and T network. Later this year, we will see the

429
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: Samsung Galaxy S ten five G.

430
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: Remember we went to that event, so we will.

431
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: See that good times.

432
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: And right now, the only device that you can use

433
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: to access this is the Netgear Nighthawk five G mobile hotspot,

434
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: which is five hundred bucks. By the way, five g's

435
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: also going to cost you more money on your monthly bill.

436
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: Verizon's charging ten dollars a month. Here's the thing about

437
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: AT and T launching this. They're so proud to send

438
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: me an email and say, hey, Rich you know, can

439
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: you cover this? This is AT and T is launching

440
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: five G. But there's no information about it. You go

441
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: on the AT and T website, I can't tell you

442
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: how to sign up for it. I can't tell you

443
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: how to find it on a map. There's no coverage map.

444
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: I can't figure out which device I need for it.

445
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: So right now, all these wireless companies are doing is

446
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: bragging about five G, but they're not truly delivering in

447
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: a meaningful way. So you hear all the hype to me,

448
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: you're hearing it from rich on tech today.

449
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: It is twenty eighteen. Wait, it's twenty nineteen. Yeah, Rich,

450
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: twenty six guy, I doesn't even know what the year is.

451
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: It's twenty nineteen.

452
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: You do not have to worry about five G until

453
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, mark my words. Rest of this year it's

454
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: a throwaway. Even next year it will be touch and go.

455
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: We may have it in a meaningful way, we may not.

456
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: Now.

457
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I can't wait for five G.

458
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to have this on my phone. I

459
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: can't wait to have it at my house. It's gonna

460
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: do things for the home, like you can maybe potentially

461
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: replace your home internet service with wireless five G, which

462
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: is gonna give some competition to the Spectrums and the

463
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: other companies. And also someone doesn't have to come to

464
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: your house to install cable or a cable connection. But

465
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: I can't wait for five G, So don't get me wrong.

466
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm not pooh pooing it. I'm just saying, like, just

467
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: just hold your horses with five g Let these companies

468
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: build up the networks before we actually get all hyped

469
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: up about this, all right, speaking, I think I said

470
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: that last time.

471
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of.

472
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Dash cams, we did a story this week on these

473
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: new dash cams, a new breed of dash cams that

474
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: have cellular built into them, right, and so we looked

475
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: at two of them. One is the owl Cam. Got

476
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: to go a little bit hands on with this at CS.

477
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: I did not test this personally, but this is kind

478
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: of the Rolls Royce of connected dash cams. They invented

479
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: the genre, kind of like Ring invented the video doorbell.

480
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: So they're the best, but they're also the most expensive.

481
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: They have the most features. So basically, what happens when

482
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: you build an LTE connection into a dash cam is

483
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: you get a couple of benefits. The first benefit is

484
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: that your video files are automatically sent to the cloud,

485
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: which is really cool.

486
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: So let's say, worst.

487
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Scenario, you get into a really bad car crash and

488
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: your car's damaged, your windshields damaged, and your your dash

489
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: cam is damaged. Like you can't recover the files off

490
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: that you're okay, thank god, right, but the dash cam

491
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: is damaged. So now it's like, oh my gosh, you

492
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: got into this terrible accident, obviously got to go through

493
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: insurance all this stuff, and I can't even see what happened.

494
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: So that's the number one thing is like basically now,

495
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: of course you might say, rich, well, I mean, if

496
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: the dash cam's damage, how's it gonna get the video

497
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: up to the cellular connection. Well maybe it's doing it, like,

498
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, quicker than it gets that it fries out.

499
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but stay with me here. So again,

500
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: your your video clips are sent to the cloud in

501
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: real time. So for instance, if someone bashes your front

502
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: windshield with a baseball bat, your little video camera will

503
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: record that and send it to the cloud immediately. And

504
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, shoot, someone just captured that in the camera.

505
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: Let me take that camera too. Well, the clip is

506
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: already gonna be in the cloud. She'll at least see

507
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: the person who did it. Also, they have an on

508
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: star feature in the owl cam, which if you get

509
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: into an accident and you're unresponsive, it will call an

510
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: operator to you know, get you help. So that's kind

511
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: of nice. Owlcam is three hundred and fifty dollars a

512
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: year that includes a year's worth of Sorry, Owlcam is

513
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars that includes a year's worth

514
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: of subscription fees, and after that it's ten dollars a

515
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: month or one hundred bucks a year for the connectivity features.

516
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty useless. Don't get it if you're not going

517
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: to do the subscription, because it's useless.

518
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: Now.

519
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: The other camera I tested is called the pure Gear

520
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Pure Cam, and pure Gear is a company known for

521
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: its mobile accessories. This camera, this device has two cameras

522
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: as well, so it records inside and outside your car simultaneously.

523
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: The other cool thing is you can live stream from

524
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: this camera, so you can see what's going on inside

525
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: or outside your car from your phone, which is a

526
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: new concept, kind of like when we got the Ring

527
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: video doorbell, same thing. You can check on your house

528
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: from afar. This has GPS so you can see where

529
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: you parked. And the setup process was pretty simple. I mean,

530
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: the toughest part about installing these cameras is really running

531
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: the cable from the power cable from the camera itself.

532
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: Kind of gonna have to do it like you kind

533
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: of like move your I don't know your car, like

534
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: insulation or whatever like that. It just it goes in

535
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: there though pretty easily. I was able to do it myself.

536
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: And you plug this into your car's obdport and this

537
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: is like your onboard diagnostic port, so not your cigarette lighter.

538
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: That's where I wanted to put it in, but it

539
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: does not work with that. You have to have a

540
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: certain amount of voltage. And also it does draw some

541
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: power when your car is parked to keep this thing

542
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: alive in case of, you know, if it notices something

543
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: going on. So with that said, there is a g

544
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: shock sensor in this, so it automatically starts recording if

545
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: it notices any movement around your car. This was my

546
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: favorite part. So every time my car is touched or

547
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: moved or whatever this little sensor, I get an alert

548
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: to my phone. And it's really cool because it's like, oh,

549
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: there's motion by your car, and you can look at

550
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: the video and you can see like, Okay, was it

551
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: just you know, someone threw a ball at my car

552
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: or did someone just take my car.

553
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: Right and on the flip side.

554
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: When I brought my car in for valet parking at

555
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: the Burbank Airport. The guys who got in my car

556
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: to park it like, I got a little video clip

557
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: of them sent to me, which cracked me up. So

558
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: you find some funny things with this stuff. It also

559
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: doubles as a Wi Fi hotspot, which is good for

560
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: the kids in the back seat.

561
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: And that's basically it. I mean, the pure cam I'm

562
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: pretty impressed with. It's two hundred dollars.

563
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: And the benefit of this one versus the owlcam is

564
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: that you can bring your own network. So if you've

565
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: got a SIM card, you can pop in that SIM

566
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: card as long as it's GSM and it will work

567
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: inside this. So GSM is things like AT and T

568
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: T Mobile. Basically everything except Sprint and Verizon is GSM.

569
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: So if you want a prepaid SIM you can do

570
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: that with like something like you know, Trackphone or Family

571
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Mobile from Walmart, whatever, Cricket. You can put those SIM

572
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: cards inside and it will work. So I'm a big

573
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: fan of the dash cam. I think it's in between

574
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: technology because in the future, the cameras that are already

575
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: built into our cars, hopefully we'll take over this functionality

576
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: because you have them on the front of cars, you

577
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: have them on the back of cars, you have on

578
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: the sides of new cars. So hopefully car manufacturers will

579
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: start building in DVR functionality for basically twenty four to

580
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: seven recording of everything that's going on in your car.

581
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: I think Tesla already does that, but other cars that

582
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: would be nice. And also the wireless functionality so that

583
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: when something does happen, when there is movement detected, it

584
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: will send that video straight up to the cloud kind

585
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: of in the same way.

586
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: I also wonder if car insurance companies are gonna want

587
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 4: to make sure that everyone has a camera in their

588
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 4: car now, because then they'll be able to see, oh,

589
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: you were texting when that turn happened, and that's why

590
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 4: the crash happened, or you know what I mean, which.

591
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: Is scary for privacy.

592
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: That brings up a huge privacy concerned because a lot

593
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: of people are thinking from the way I was thinking of, oh,

594
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: protecting me, but oh, hold on, what if I get

595
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: into an accident and I'm like, oh, shoot, I was

596
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: on my phone. Not that I would be because I'm

597
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: on my phone while I drive, But now it's like,

598
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: now my insurance company is suing me because They're like, well,

599
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: we want to see that video from inside your car, right,

600
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: and yeah, that's an interesting another side of this. I

601
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: actually got rear ended coming out of the airport one time,

602
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: and I knew the lady was on her phone.

603
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: I watched.

604
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: I saw it in my cause I could see she

605
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: was like on her phone behind me, and all of

606
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, I just saw a slam.

607
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 2: Into the back of my car.

608
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: And sure enough, I'm like, oh my gosh, if I

609
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: had my rear camera on the back of my car

610
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: recording this would be like I would just show that now.

611
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: I was okay. Anyway, Like I still she gave me

612
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: the money whatever. We worked it out through insurance. But

613
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: like the reality is her insurance company is probably pretty

614
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: angry because they're like, shouldn't be on your phone and

615
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: now you just cost us like ten thousand bucks or whatever.

616
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, you get the smallest ding on your car

617
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: and it's like three thousand dollars to repair it these

618
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: days because.

619
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: They're so expensive.

620
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, so good point producer Megan. Who's next with

621
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: the questions?

622
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: Okay, next up we have David Moore. The subject is

623
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: cell phone insurance. Hi, Rich, my new s nine is great.

624
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: Thanks again. I have a question. My son has a

625
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 4: few mishaps with his iPhone. Se can you recommend cell

626
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: phone insurance companies? Verizon wants thirteen dollars a month, Thanks

627
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: Rich David.

628
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Oh great, So I must have recommended David his S

629
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: nine a while ago, so I'm glad you're enjoying that phone.

630
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: My favorite, so most people when they think of insurance

631
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: for their phones, they go.

632
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: To two places.

633
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: They go to Apple for Apple Care and they go

634
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: to their carrier, which the carrier insurance is always going

635
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: to be the most expensive, but there is and I'll

636
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: tell you my alternative, but there is a caveat. So

637
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: my favorite is Square Trade. So Square Trade is a

638
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: third party company. They are actually just recently bought by

639
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: all State, which is really funny because now the car

640
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: insurance company is also the insurance company for your phone.

641
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: But the good news.

642
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: About Square Trade is they're very simple, Like you basically

643
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: go online, you can sign up in literally minutes. It's

644
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: nine dollars a month, no matter basically whatever phone you have.

645
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: And they do have some coupons out there, so be

646
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: on the lookout for like promo codes like do a

647
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: little Google search because you might be able to find

648
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: like even cheaper than eight nine bucks a month. But

649
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: you buy your plan, you buy it online, and that's it.

650
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: It basically covers you for everything. And here's the caveat

651
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, so with the cellular plans, and Apple

652
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: has this as well, if your phone is lost or stolen,

653
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: you can still get it replaced through the cellular plans.

654
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: That's why they're so expensive, right, So the way Square

655
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: Trade saves money is that if your phone is lost

656
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: or stolen, they're not going to replace it. So the

657
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: only way they will do your phone is if it's

658
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: physically there. So in the case of my dad, his

659
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: phone was ran over like ten thousand times by a

660
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: truck the other day a couple months ago, so if

661
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: he was not And by the way, he lost it

662
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: on a highway, so he actually went back and found

663
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: his phone like a day later.

664
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: Wait, so how did that fits?

665
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Oh?

666
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: How did it happen?

667
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: He left and he's like, rich text me. He's like,

668
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: I was in New York City. I put my phone

669
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: on the roof of my car and I drove away.

670
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm like Dad, He's like, and I think I know

671
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: where I lost it. It had to be somewhere in

672
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: between the city and the Lincoln Tunnel. I said, all right,

673
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: let me go find my iPhone. So I turned on

674
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Find my iPhone on his phone, and sure.

675
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: Enough I saw it.

676
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: I pinpointed it on the freeway from between where he

677
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: lives in New Jersey and New York. But it was

678
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: still there, so I think it was the last known location.

679
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: So long story short, he went back, can found it

680
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: and it's this.

681
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: Thing was crushed.

682
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: You can look on my Instagram and go back a

683
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: little bit. But his phone was crushed into a million pieces.

684
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: It was still like, sorry, the screen was crushed into

685
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: a million pieces. The phone was actually safe because he

686
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: had a spec case on it, which is my favorite case.

687
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: I've got my phone right here.

688
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: There we go.

689
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: So and of course this is my dad. No, it's

690
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: not sponsored. This is my dad. Being the older generation.

691
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: He actually took the case that was run over a

692
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: billion times and put it on his new phone.

693
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: He's like, are you serious? Right now?

694
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: That's funny.

695
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: I bought my mom her case and she's been using

696
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 4: it for the last two years and it's like a

697
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 4: ten dollars case from Amazon.

698
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: Oh my mom, same thing.

699
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: I bought our ten dollars case from Amazon and it

700
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: was like the thing was like all grimy and stuff.

701
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, Mom, really it's like where you bought it from.

702
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: I mean yeah.

703
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: Anyway, so long story short, even if you bring your

704
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: phone to All State in like a plastic bag filled

705
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: with pieces, as long as they can identify that that

706
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: was the phone that you ensured, they will give you

707
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: a new one or you know.

708
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: Replace it whatever. But that's it.

709
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: So my recommendation, David is to go with Square Trade.

710
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: I think you'll save some money, especially for kids. And

711
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: also you don't necessarily have to send your phone in

712
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: if it's something like a crack screen. They work with

713
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: a lot of suppliers around towns where you can just

714
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: go on put in your zip code and it will

715
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: they can do the warranty service like at a little

716
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: local shop that they work with, kind of like autobody repair.

717
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: Right, you can just go to your lot.

718
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: You don't have to always bring it to like the

719
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: All State you know, auto body shop. You can bring

720
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: it to like any autobody shop that works with them.

721
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: So great question. All right, a couple more stories. We'll

722
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: move a little bit quicker here because these are the

723
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: smaller things, but Audible changing the way they do their

724
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: memberships now and specifically membership credits.

725
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: So I love Audible, I love audio books.

726
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: But what happens is with Audible, I subscribe, I get

727
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: really pumped around, you know, Prime day when they have

728
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: these great deals. I get a bunch of credits, and

729
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I have too many audiobooks.

730
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: I can't listen to them all, so I get rid

731
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: of my membership. But they let you keep your credits, right, well,

732
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize, but your credits expire after six months.

733
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Wait what yeah, so you can

734
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: you only have six months to use them. Now they're

735
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: changing it where it will work up to a year,

736
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: so that's nice. And this is all this is an

737
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Amazon being kind. This is actually a class action lawsuit

738
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: against Amazon, and so that's why these things changed.

739
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: So the suit alleges that Audible.

740
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: Was not transparent about how it charged the customer's card,

741
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: which I do agree with. And they also moved to

742
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: a secondary card on your Amazon file in case the

743
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: first one didn't work, which, oh, that's not very nice.

744
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 1: And also I will say that this is the thing

745
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: about audible. If you don't look at your statement, you

746
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of forget because you don't get an email that says, hey,

747
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: we just charge you for another month, and you kind

748
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: of forget, and that's part of their business plan.

749
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: I am sure.

750
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: Well, now monthly members are going to get an email

751
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: statement every month saying how many credits they have, and

752
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, saying that they're going to get charged and

753
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: how many unused credits they have along with their expiration dates.

754
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: So I think this is I hate that it took

755
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: a class action lawsuit to change these things into the

756
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: consumer's interest, but they did a pretty nice job. All right,

757
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: but do you we have one more question?

758
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: Yes, we have one more question from Carol Hamilton. She writes,

759
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: let's see Prime savings at Whole Foods. I do not

760
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: have a smartphone, only a flip phone, but I am

761
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: an Amazon Prime member. Tell me how to get a

762
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: Prime membership card to show at Whole Foods when I shop.

763
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: Ooh, good question.

764
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: This is a little bit on the outskirts of like

765
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: tech questions, but it's true. If you're a Prime member

766
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: and you go to Whole Foods, you will save a

767
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: little bit of money on your purchases.

768
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: I find that it's kind of a joke.

769
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: So every time I go to Whole Foods, which, to

770
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: be honest, is now I'm not going his office and

771
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: I used to because you know, I've got this thing

772
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: called Milk and Eggs.

773
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: Which I've talked about, which I love.

774
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: They deliver fresh produce to my house and I love it.

775
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: So it's actually cheaper than Whole Foods. It's in the

776
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: LA area. I'm sure there's something similar in your area

777
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: if you're listening outside La but I so anyway, when

778
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: you shop at Whole Foods, if you're a Prime member,

779
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: there is a little code on the Amazon app that

780
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: you scan it checkout, like a QR code that gives

781
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: your discount, which is ten percent off of anything that's

782
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: on sale, which for me, I don't think it's ever

783
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: been over eighty cents off my entire bill, which is

784
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of stupid. But anyway, if you don't have a

785
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: mobile phone, you say you have a flip phone, the

786
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: second option is to just basically link your mobile phone

787
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: number with your Prime membership and that will serve as

788
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: your membership card. So if you ever go to something

789
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: like Ralph's or all these grocery stores, you know they

790
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: all they ask for your phone number at checkout, you

791
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: type it in and you get your Rauph's Club or whatever.

792
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: Whole Foods does the same thing. It's just not as advertised.

793
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: It's not widely advertised. So to do it, just go

794
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: to Amazon dot com slash Prime Savings and there's option

795
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: number two, which is update your mobile phone number. You'll

796
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: link up your phone number and next thing, you know,

797
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: when you get to check out, you can just say, hey,

798
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: can I pop in my phone number?

799
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 2: And they will let you do that. All right.

800
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: A couple more stories here too that deal with speakers.

801
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Ikia and Sono's teaming up for a new line of speakers.

802
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: So they've got two. It's you. You had to help

803
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: me pronounce this, Megan, sim fuonesque.

804
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 3: Let me see it, sim funness, sim fun.

805
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: Esque, sim funesque.

806
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know why I say it with a little.

807
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: Bit of sim simp fun esque. So two things.

808
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: You've got a table lamp for one hundred and seventy

809
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: nine dollars and a bookshelf speaker for ninety nine dollars.

810
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: Both are shipping in August. I cannot tell you how excited.

811
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: I am for this.

812
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: It looks really cool.

813
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: They look really cool. I have sons. Do you have

814
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 2: Sonos at home?

815
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't.

816
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: Okay, do you know about it? Yes, it's amazing.

817
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 3: And I know it sounds.

818
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 4: Whenever I hear people's like Sono speakers, I'm always like,

819
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: why don't I have this?

820
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: Because it's expensive. It's super duper expensive.

821
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: And I've built my collection of these speakers over the

822
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: past like seven or eight years, so it's it's an

823
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: expensive thing to have. But I will say I've my

824
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: speakers I bought from Sonos. I've had now for going

825
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: on eight years, like some of the earlier, the older

826
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: ones right, but again, great quality. I love how it

827
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: all works. It's seamless, and I get it. We live

828
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: in a world of you know, Amazon.

829
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: Google, Alexa, but this is just.

830
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: There's something about every time I come home, I open

831
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: up the Sonos app, I pick something from all the

832
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: different music services I have, I select all speakers, and boom,

833
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: I have the same music playing throughout my house.

834
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: I love it. It's one of my favorite things to do.

835
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: So now the fact that I can get speakers, I'm

836
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: already thinking for the bedroom on the night stands. I'm

837
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: going to get one of these speakers on each side

838
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: because you need a light, right, you also want some

839
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: music in your room, so that's cool. Then the bookshelf

840
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: speakers will be awesome for the office. And then I

841
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: can reuse some of my Sonos speakers in rooms like

842
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: the kids rooms, or maybe put them in other places

843
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: in the house, so you can never have too many

844
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: speakers in one.

845
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: Room, right, and in tech center.

846
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I would like to get some here at KTLA.

847
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: I will bring a speaker in here for KTLA as well,

848
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: But again, these come out in August. I have not

849
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: seen the quality, but since Sona's is putting their name

850
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: on them, I'm assuming.

851
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: They're pretty good.

852
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: And the other side is, yeah, they're more expensive. One

853
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine dollars for a table lamp is

854
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: very expensive. But you're getting to me. It's all about

855
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: one less cord, so I only have one thing to

856
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: plug in. Now I get a light and I get

857
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: a speaker. I wish, wish, wish these had a.

858
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: USB on the phone.

859
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask, so there's no USB.

860
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, I am you know, I'm looking at

861
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: these press pictures here and I don't see the USB,

862
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: but that would have been the million dollar thing to have, right, yeah.

863
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: Because then you can plug in. Maybe they have it,

864
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: we don't know. That would be epic, but we'll see.

865
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: And another speaker, the home Pod, which is also a

866
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: really nice speaker, but super duper expensive. Talk about expensive.

867
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: It was three hundred and forty nine dollars. Now it's

868
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety nine dollars. So Apple has cut the

869
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: price by fifty dollars.

870
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: On that speaker. The HomePod is really cool.

871
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: If you are an iPhone world you don't mind spending

872
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: a lot of money on a speaker, It's great. And

873
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: my favorite feature of the HomePod is that you can

874
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: transfer your iPhone call to the HomePod and use it

875
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: as a speakerphone, which is really fun. So I've done

876
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: that a couple of times and it sounds amazing. If

877
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: you have this thing in your office, you basically have

878
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: a nice, beautiful speakerphone in a day to a speaker.

879
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: But I find that the HomePod is a little limited

880
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: because you have to airplay everything to it versus sons.

881
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: That sort of works as as the other speakers do,

882
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: which is through the Internet. And finally, Microsoft confirms that

883
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: you don't really need to safely remove USB flash drives

884
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: anymore by ejecting them. So if you've ever used a

885
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: Windows computer, you know that it always or any computer basically,

886
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: and this is a pet peeve of mind because I'm

887
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: always moving.

888
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 2: Do I move really fast? Megan, Yes, I'm like always

889
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 2: kind of like going.

890
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're like, what's next, what's next, What's next?

891
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: All the time, So pretty much that's me.

892
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so for me to have to eject, to

893
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: take that extra fraction of a moment to eject a

894
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: flash drive out of my computer really annoys me. So

895
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: on Windows ten, you basically don't have to do that anymore.

896
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: They've admitted this because back in October when Windows ten

897
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: version eighteen oh nine came out, they quietly changed the

898
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: default flash drive setting between So it used to be okay,

899
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: let's see, it used to be safely remove hardware and

900
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: eject media. So let's see, Okay, there's something called quick removal.

901
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: So quick removal is now the new default, and quick

902
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 1: removal means that the computer knows that you're in a rush,

903
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: and so it will allow you to remove it at

904
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: any time. That is now the default now here's the caveat.

905
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: You still don't want to remove this drive while it's

906
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: writing files or you could lose stuff. And so that

907
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: was always the danger in removing the flash drive is

908
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: that it could have been the state of we're ready

909
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: to write a file at any time. Now it kind

910
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: of puts it in a sleep state. So I'm sure

911
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: that by changing this setting, things are a little bit

912
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: slower when it comes to accessing the flash drive, like

913
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: for the first.

914
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: Time when you go to drag a file.

915
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: But on the flip side you can just pop it

916
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: out at any time and you're good to go.

917
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 2: So are you excited about that?

918
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: Well my question, Yeah, I was just about to say so.

919
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 3: Hopefully Apple will add that next I think.

920
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: So.

921
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: It's one of those things always I agree, so do I.

922
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: And it's like and I and I used to I

923
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: used to literally always take it out without worrying every

924
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: single time, be like, come on, yeah, I'm a tech guy.

925
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't really need to listen to these little warnings.

926
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: And now, of course, when I showed someone I think

927
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: I did like a YouTube video or something, and someone

928
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: saw me do that and like, no, rich actually, or

929
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: maybe I tweeted and it, people are like, no, no,

930
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: you really need to eject it. So there is a reason.

931
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: On the Mac you still want to do it. And

932
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: on Windows unless you've updated to the latest Windows, if

933
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: you're all up to date, then you're probably okay. Personally,

934
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: I'd still want to go into those settings of the
