00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Joining me is

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: producer Megan, who's still trying to figure out what percentage

10
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: of Jeff Bezos's wealth it took to buy the most

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: expensive house in LA.

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: Hello Meghan, Hello, what's going on?

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, just a lot just getting

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: through a lot of stuff.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: So weird, isn't it.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: We were talking about this earlier, but I always wonder what,

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: like what it you know, how you log into your

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: bank account? Do you have like an app on your

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: phone or just like shows your balance?

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like most people check it like all the time,

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: right to like see if you have enough to like

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: cover whatever, Like can you imagine?

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: I always think about this, like not even just.

25
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, but like you're like a crazy celebrity like

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, does he have to do that?

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm going to assume they don't even

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: have the app.

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: They don't even have the app, Like he doesn't have

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: like the Chase Banking app on his phone or like

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: Bank of America.

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Probably not.

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: He just doesn't need it.

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: That's frustrating, but it's just funny for like most people.

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, my parents don't do that. I

36
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: mean they don't have like an app. They don't even

37
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: use like the ATM.

38
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: Wait, this is such a great question, Like why isn't

39
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon asking like these people when.

40
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Oh, my celebrities like like hey, uh, what does it

41
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: look like when you open up your bank account your Bank.

42
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Of America app?

43
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: Oh, it's not like what does it look like? It's

44
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: like do you have the app? And like do they

45
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: know of it? You know? Like I want I just

46
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, but.

47
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I would just I would just stare at that figure

48
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: unless like since there's so much interest being accrued, it

49
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: probably just like changes every second, like with more money

50
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: on there.

51
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: You know how they do those Vogue videos where they

52
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: like show their houses, They're like hey yeah, yeah, like hey,

53
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna show you my bank account.

54
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, day, here's my savings, which has like seventy four

55
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: million in it.

56
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

57
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: This is my tiny fun account, which like I just

58
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: keep like a million in there.

59
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just have one hundred thousand, like if I'm

60
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 3: you know, just going to dinner or lunch.

61
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: Just just to have uh one can dream. Let's talk

62
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: about something closer to home. The Samsung Galaxy event happened

63
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: this week, and this was there was a little failure

64
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: to launch at the beginning, but then it all worked out.

65
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: So originally last week and I can talk about this

66
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: now because I'm not under embargo anymore. But last week

67
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to a Samsung event, was

68
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: like a private hands on event in San Francisco where

69
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: they give you an hour with the phone and you

70
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of shoot some videos so that you have a

71
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: heads up for when it actually launches, you can release

72
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: all your videos. It's mostly meant for like YouTubers and

73
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: influencers so that they can release their video as soon

74
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: as that deadline is open. They call embargoes, like they'll

75
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: say Tuesday at eleven, you can show off your stuff,

76
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: but you have it on Friday, so imagine you have

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the whole weekend to like polish your videos, get them ready,

78
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: and have them ready to go, time them out. Well,

79
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be me, but that didn't happen

80
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: because my flight was so severely delayed to San Francisco

81
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: that I couldn't make it. Long story short, we had

82
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: the event on Tuesday. That's when we got our first

83
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: look at this device. We were a little behind, but

84
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: it was fine. Our video still did really well. We

85
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: still got our segment for TV and we now know

86
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: what the Galaxy S twenty series is all about. Three

87
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: different phones. They're all five G compatible, which is kind

88
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: of a first. That's a big all in on five

89
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: G for Samsung. And the main things that have changed

90
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: is the camera, of course, because the camera is the

91
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: most important part of any phone. Samsung told me that

92
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: it is their biggest revamp of the camera since the

93
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: Galaxy S seven, which is about four years ago. That's

94
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: big now, I will tell you. In the time that

95
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I saw these cameras, we were not able to take

96
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: them outside, so I couldn't really tell if these cameras

97
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: are amazing or if there's a lot of hype going on.

98
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: I will say I think that the one hundred times zoom,

99
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: which one of these phones does, is kind of a

100
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: lot of hype because you're never going to get a

101
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: picture good enough with one hundred time zoom. That's going

102
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: to be anything you want right now if you lived

103
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: in New York City and you just want to use

104
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: it to spy on people you know across the street.

105
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 2: Fine, but I liked.

106
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: Your comment about it. What you know, the thing about

107
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 3: your kids and going to their place.

108
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: Oh that I can sit in the back seat now

109
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: and not feel guilty.

110
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that's great.

111
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: It is now. The phones do have a good zoom.

112
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: So they've got like anywhere from three times optical all

113
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: the way up to ten times optical.

114
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: Which is pretty good.

115
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

116
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: So the iPhone has like I think two times optical,

117
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: which you know is fine, but this is gonna be nice.

118
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: So some of the other features on the phone. You

119
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: got three devices. One is a six point two in

120
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: screen six point seven and point nine. The large one,

121
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: the S twenty Ultra five G is a big phone.

122
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: I mean is a large phone, and it's a powerful phone.

123
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: That's the most powerful model on there.

124
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: And I mean, really, what you need to know is

125
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the camera is improved. Is it a better camera? We

126
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: won't know until we try it out. We have to

127
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: try it out in everyday situations, low light, lots of light, movement,

128
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: all this stuff. But if I had to guess, I

129
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: would think that Samsung brought it with the camera because

130
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: they need to. The iPhone camera's pretty amazing. Let's see

131
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: what other things are there. There's this feature called single Take,

132
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: which the only time I could ever see it being

133
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: useful is if you're trying to capture your kids first

134
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: steps or a birthday party when someone's blown out candles.

135
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: You press the button once and it kind of just

136
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: captures a whole bunch of videos and pictures and affects

137
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: them all at the same time.

138
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that that was kind of cool.

139
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: It's cool, it's kind of fun.

140
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

141
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: Again, for the average consumer, they're gonna use a lot

142
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: of these features the first time they get their phone.

143
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna show them to their friends, like, let me

144
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: show you a hundred time zoom and then that's it.

145
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: You're not really going to use on time zoom now,

146
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: thirty times zoom. Sure, even ten times zoom is.

147
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: Going to be great. Are the pictures going to be

148
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: that great. Probably not.

149
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: I never use zoom on my phone.

150
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: I try not to, Yeah, because as a rule I

151
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: want the highest quality pictures exactly, and if you're zooming in,

152
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 1: you're not getting the highest quality pictures. Now, optical zoom

153
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: you are. So if you can use optical, that's fine,

154
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: but the rest of it you don't want to use.

155
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: There's eight K video, which, again, how good is eight

156
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: K video going to be on the very first phone

157
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: that does eight K video? Not very good, So you

158
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: don't want to use that. It's limited to five minutes,

159
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: so you can't really even take much video away.

160
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 3: Because it would take up all the space on the phone.

161
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I think they limit it for various reasons, but yeah,

162
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: one of them is probably space and just other considerations.

163
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: Probably use a lot of horsepower on the phone and

164
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: you can't really sustain that for very long. I'm guessing.

165
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: HD video chat with Google Duo.

166
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Google Duo, when it came out a couple years ago,

167
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I thought was the coolest thing to ever happen in

168
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: video chat, and still nobody knows about it.

169
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: Right, You know FaceTime, you know Skype.

170
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: But when after FaceTime, video chat falls off a cliff,

171
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: you can't even mention another program that people use for

172
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: video chat.

173
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

174
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

175
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: Did you ever, like, did you use people do?

176
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: The only person I can get is my brother, who

177
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: is an Android fanatic, and that's it. And so it's

178
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: you're not going to get a person that's an iPhone

179
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: user to download another video chat app unless you're a

180
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: cross platform and you're on Android and they're on iPhone

181
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: and you're like, please, can you download this? I swear

182
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: the sign up's not that tough. But iPhone users default

183
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: to everything iPhone and Apple because it's just easy. It's

184
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: built in and it's already there, right, and that's been

185
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: part of Apple's magic as well. Pricing for these new

186
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: phones starting at one thousand dollars for the S twenty,

187
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars for the mid range S twenty plus,

188
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: and then fourteen hundred dollars for the S twenty Ultra

189
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: five G, which is the granddaddy of all phones. Pre

190
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Orders begin on the twenty first of February. The phones

191
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: are in stores on March.

192
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: Sixth, and my uh oh.

193
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: The ram was also if you're really interested in this stuff,

194
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: if you're like an Android nerd, you're interested in the RAM,

195
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: which is twelve gig standard, which is a lot of horsepower, okay,

196
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: and then storage is one twenty eight standard, and it

197
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: can go all the way up to one point five

198
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: terabytes with a micro SD card, so you can really

199
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: store a lot of stuff on these things. And the

200
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: batteries are huge as well. Four thousand million powers, forty

201
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: five hundred million powers and five thousand million powers, which

202
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: is the most I've ever seen on a phone. I

203
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: think even the iPhone tops out at like three thousand

204
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: million powers. So these are powerful phones, but Samsung has

205
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: always been known for powerful phones. They throw a lot

206
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: of specs at things. Does it all add up to

207
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: being like the best phone in the world. A lot

208
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: of times the iPhone still beats them in various ways,

209
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: like the camera this year, But we're have to see.

210
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: I will tell you.

211
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Just in passing the you know, going hands on with

212
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: these devices, of course, I fell in love with them

213
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: and I want them, or at least the Ultra Yeah,

214
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: kind of. I always get this idea of like, oh

215
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's so you know, like there's just things

216
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: you could do on Android that are so simpler, so

217
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: much simpler than you can do on iOS, right, And

218
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: it's just until you use it for a bit, you

219
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: can't realize like why Android's simpler in a lot of ways,

220
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: whereas iOS makes you do a lot of taps, and

221
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: like just one example I always give, I'll give two examples, okay,

222
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and this is a very real world example because I'm

223
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: always researching restaurants. Let's say you're reading an article about

224
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: a restaurant and they have a link to like the

225
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: restaurant's Instagram page. Right, Like yesterday, I was on an

226
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: article La Times linked to their La Times Food which

227
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: had a picture of this cheeseburger from this restaurant in

228
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. And on Android, number one, I can click

229
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: those links and bring me into Instagram versus on iOS.

230
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: It brings you into a browser that has Instagram, then

231
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: you have to open up Instagram and blah blah.

232
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: So two things. So that's number one.

233
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Second thing you're able to do on Android is actually

234
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: press and hold down the home button, and that will

235
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: scan the screen for any pertinent information like the restaurant

236
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: name and it's Yelp review, And so instantly I can

237
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: go from Instagram looking at this picture to pressing down

238
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: the home button, which scans Google Assistant for anything that's

239
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: on the screen and then gives me everything I need

240
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: to know about that restaurant. Here's it's Google page, right,

241
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: And it's just a simple thing that's like really tough

242
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: to explain, but it's super useful. And so I instantly

243
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: bookmarked this restaurant on Yelp and took a little note

244
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: that said try the cheeseburger in like two seconds. On iPhone,

245
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: that would have taken me a lot of cross searching.

246
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: I would have had to go into Chrome or into

247
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: browser and like search the restaurant name. Remember the restaurant name.

248
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Then once I get it in the browser, I get

249
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: to like click it and hope it takes me into Yelp.

250
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: And then if it doesn't take me into Yelp, I

251
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: have to go into Yelp and search again.

252
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: So or if you like swipe up on Instagram, like

253
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: on a link, yeah, it would take you like directly

254
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: to whatever Chrome to like look at that link. But

255
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: on the iPhone it'll just open within the app. So

256
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: it looks saw messed up, which is what you're saying.

257
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: I actually Instagram on the on Android. This is an abnormality.

258
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Instagram does use its own in app browser, and that's

259
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: an Instagram thing. They decided they're not using like any

260
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: browser that goes into the actual system. Okay, so I

261
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,119
Speaker 1: don't know why they do that. It is very complicated.

262
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: And you know, again, it's like a little thing like this,

263
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: like you open up a link on YouTube on the

264
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: iPhone and it's going to bring you into like this

265
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: small YouTube thing that you may not be signed in on.

266
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: And so next thing, No, I want to watch that

267
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: video later, but I can't say save later because it's

268
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: like we'll sign into YouTube. What do you mean sign

269
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: in like I am. It's like very confusing. Yeah, so anyway,

270
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: I fell in love with these devices. I will say

271
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: in passing my impression of the camera that I saw

272
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: in the like terrible lighting conditions that they had there

273
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: was not very good. It wasn't like taking better pictures

274
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: than my pixel, and so I have to kind of

275
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: see if that was an abnormality of the lighting. The

276
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: lighting was terrible. The pixel pictures weren't.

277
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: Very good either.

278
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we really couldn't get a good idea.

279
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: But I will say we took a lot of video

280
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: on the I phone with our like social media and

281
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: it came out amazing.

282
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: Yes, so I also am just like so not used

283
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: to taking a picture on it.

284
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: Pes you get your your very iPhone.

285
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: A lot of the biased are yeah, and it's bad. Okay.

286
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: I think once they figure out like making how to

287
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: make stories look good.

288
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: This is this is very true.

289
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: This is Megan's big thing, and I do agree with that.

290
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 2: But if you look at if you post.

291
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 1: An Instagram story from your Samsung or your Pixel or

292
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: any other phone that's not iPhone, no, they are terrible looking.

293
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: And the people that are posting them don't realize this.

294
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: And so when you look at it on an iPhone,

295
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm I will literally go back to my iPhone and

296
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: take a look and be like, does this look that bad?

297
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: No, it looks fine on iPhone.

298
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: So if I were to watch a Samsung story on

299
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: a Samsung, it will look good when.

300
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: You're posting it. It does.

301
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: I feel like it just doesn't. It's not the same.

302
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: They don't have the same codex.

303
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: I feel like, Okay, all right, well are so if

304
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: you want Rich to answer your tech questions, just go

305
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: to his website, Rich on tech dot tv and hit

306
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: the contact button. Our first question comes from Michael. It's

307
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: actually really a comment. He said, Rich. There is way

308
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: too much emphasis being placed on five G devices by

309
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: the telecom companies and device makers. Verizon has five G

310
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: downtown and Santa Monica only in LA. Companies like Samsung

311
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 3: are pitching five G phones. Obviously, these phones just launched

312
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: and they have five G, but there's nowhere to use it. Basically,

313
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: buying a phone or any mobile device with five G

314
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 3: is a waste. Five G towers may be installed in

315
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: the next two to three years, but by then the

316
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: device you bought in twenty twenty is dated. So what

317
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on that?

318
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: That's a good question.

319
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking at my address on T Mobile because

320
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: T Mobile has nationwide five G. Okay, curious like what

321
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: their deal is with their you know, five G. So

322
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: let's see if it has it in my and it

323
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: does actually, So here's the thing I think that I

324
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: understand Michael.

325
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: I understand his argument.

326
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: He's saying that the telecom companies are pushing five G,

327
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: pushing five G, but you have to understand their standpoint.

328
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: They are marketing machines, They're spending a lot of money

329
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: to upgrade to five G.

330
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: They're not gonna just sit back.

331
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to get as many people on board

332
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: as possible to help subsidize some of these new towers

333
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: and things that they're building.

334
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: Is it a lot of hype?

335
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Yes, at this point it is. Is there anyone I've

336
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: met or run into that's saying, rich, five G has

337
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: changed my life? It's so amazing. No, Will it happen, Yes,

338
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: eventually over time. And I think that Samsung going all

339
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: in on these five G phones right now. Number one,

340
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: They did it in a unique way. They, except for

341
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: the lowest model phone, which is the Samsung Galaxy S twenty,

342
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: the S twenty plus and the Ultra, support all the

343
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: flavors of five G that are out there, which means

344
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: Verizon's building a network that doesn't really is a little

345
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: bit different than the way that T Mobile built their network.

346
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: But the phones have the technology built in to handle

347
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: both networks.

348
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So again, and do they not

349
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: have they have five G as well?

350
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: They have a different Now every carrier.

351
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Has five G at this point. They're all building them

352
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: in slightly different ways. Some of them overlap, for instance,

353
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: or some I don't want to get in the weeds.

354
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: It's different.

355
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: There's just different ways of doing it, and you know

356
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: every carrier is kind of doing it differently. But these

357
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: phones have the technology built in to handle both types

358
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: of networks that you can build. So is it a

359
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of hype, Yes, but you got to think on

360
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: the flip side, Michael. People are upgrading their phones today

361
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: and keeping them for three years, So the system is

362
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: going to evolve over three years and be better, and

363
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: so that the phone you got today, yeah, is it

364
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: going to be the best phone in three years? No,

365
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: But you're still gonna be able to ride that wave

366
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: as these five G.

367
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: Networks get better, right because obviously they've done like the

368
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: math and they see that, like you said, people upgrade

369
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: every two to three years.

370
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I forget the I just Samsung just told

371
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: me that number.

372
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: I'm like less than two years. I feel like once

373
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: I hit the like year and a half mark, I

374
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: already want the next phone. But then again, I'm like

375
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: three years behind with my new phone with okay.

376
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Current, So upgrade cycles are now four months longer. According

377
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: to Samsung with their Galaxy S devices, they're noticing that

378
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: people now upgrade every twenty seven months. It used to

379
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: be every twenty two months, so on average, if you

380
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: look at twenty seven months, that's a little over two years.

381
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: When people start to get that itch of like I

382
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: need a new phone. For me, it's every six months,

383
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: but that's just me.

384
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: It's more like every every two months, every two months,

385
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: but that's just because you switch back.

386
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, when these new phones come out, I just get

387
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: very excited to try.

388
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: So are you going to buy?

389
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: I was?

390
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: I already put in the pre order kind of like

391
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: I got everything ready for the pre order so I

392
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: may get a review unit from Samsung.

393
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Okay, try that first before I order,

394
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: but I did. I am.

395
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: I'm also trying to decide between the S twenty Plus

396
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: and the S twenty Ultra because I like the idea

397
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: of the Ultra, but I feel like it's too big

398
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: for me.

399
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: That's really hot.

400
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: I like a phone, well, I like the phone that

401
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I like a phone that fits in my pocket, and

402
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: that's like a larger than you need, right right. Well,

403
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: there's another phone from Samsung, the Galaxy Z Flip, and

404
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 1: this one went bananas on my Facebook page. We did

405
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: a little video on this and Megan, how many views

406
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: did that.

407
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: Get like three billion, three million.

408
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: Three million views over three million. Yeah, and it's clear

409
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: people are interested in these in these foldable These phones

410
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: with a foldable screen are very interesting to people because

411
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: it's something that you never saw before. And now we've

412
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: seen it about three or four times over the past year,

413
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: because don't forget it. Last year's Ces we saw our

414
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: first foldable tablet and that was like, whoa what, And

415
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: then we've had a couple foldable phones between now and then,

416
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: the Samsung Galaxy Fold and also the the Motorola Razor,

417
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: which folds well. The z Flip is not as high

418
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: end as the other Samsung phones, but it's really cool

419
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: looking and we played with this. This is not a

420
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: phone for me, but I can see the appeal of

421
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: this phone because it's basically a Samsung Galaxy device. Let's

422
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: imagine it's from last year, like last year's model, let's

423
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: say last year's specs, but it folds in half, which

424
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: means it's kind of cool and I like that idea

425
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: because it fits in your pocket. It appeals to a

426
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: lot of people because of that reason. It's got a

427
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: six point seven inch display. Let's see the cameras, you know,

428
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: it's very standard cameras. You've got a ten megapixel on

429
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: the selfie, twelve megapixels on the other one.

430
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: You've got a wide angle.

431
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: You've got eight gigabytes a RAM to fifty six storage,

432
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: thirty three hundred million hour battery.

433
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: So it's a good phone. Yeah, it's not gonna be

434
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: your high end.

435
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: You're not gonna use this as a creation phone, but

436
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: it's enough for like just doing fun stuff.

437
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: This is it.

438
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: You're looking at a video of on Instagram at rich

439
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: On Tech and again it fits in the palm of

440
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: your hand. And the cool thing is there are some

441
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: fun things you can do with it, like set it

442
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: on a table and watch video because it acts as

443
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: its own little tripod.

444
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is cool.

445
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: You can you know, you can take selfies because it's

446
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: like again, it's own little tripod.

447
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: So it's cool.

448
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: It's thirteen hundred and eighty dollars and it'll be on

449
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: sale on Valentine's Day. So they kind of surprised everyone

450
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: with this, and it's cool. I think that a lot

451
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: of people. A lot of the videos that I watched,

452
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: the reviewers were they didn't do standard reviews on them

453
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: just yet because nobody's had this for long enough to

454
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: do a review, but everyone's kind of pleasantly surprised. Like

455
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Samsung got this right. It's a good phone out of

456
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: the gate. It's not something that i'd recommend as like

457
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: a high end phone, but it's high end in like

458
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: a way of this is futuristic. It f's in your pocket.

459
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: It's kind of a cool phone. Yeah, if you have

460
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: a Galaxy and you don't need the high powered stuff,

461
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: all those extra features, then you get this and it's

462
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: it's kind of a neat little device.

463
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: One of the comments is funny, Scott DG. This is

464
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: on your Instagram. Everything old is new again, looking forward

465
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: to the Samsung rotary. That's funny.

466
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one.

467
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's next.

468
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: Actually not a bad idea.

469
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: I don't even know what a rotary is.

470
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a rotary phone, like like you a turn

471
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: little dial. Oh, but that's not a bad idea for Samsung,

472
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: just for fun to come out with a phone or

473
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: someone that would actually be a rotary phone that sits

474
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: in your house that would use cellular.

475
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: Okay, be kind of cool, or just like an app

476
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: that you can.

477
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure they have on an iPhone.

478
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: That's cool, all right. So this next question comes from Steve.

479
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: This kind of goes back to what we were talking

480
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: about earlier. When I Google, for instance, a restaurant and

481
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: there is a map showing its location or a button

482
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: for directions, my iPhone opens my Apple Maps app, but

483
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: shows me my current location and not the location of

484
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: the restaurant and or the directions to it. So why

485
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: does that happen?

486
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: Oh, this is talking about differences between iOS and Android. Yeah,

487
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: this is another difference. And this is the thing. None

488
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: of these are deal breakers, none of these are enough. Look,

489
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: Apple has some of the most popular phones in the world,

490
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: especially here in the US, and I have never met

491
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: maybe I've met a handful of people who are like rich.

492
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: It's really annoying that when I click.

493
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: And this is another example I'm gonna give when I'm

494
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: in Yelp on the iPhone, it kills me that I

495
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: cannot press that directions button on there and get directions

496
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: to a place because it will open Apple Maps, which

497
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't have installed on my iPhone. So that means

498
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: it'll say broken link. Do you want us to download

499
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: this from the app store? And I say no, there's

500
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: a reason why I don't have it. Let me set

501
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Apple Maps as our Google Maps as my mapping app. Now,

502
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: I remember there used to be away in Yelp on

503
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: the iPhone to do that, and I think they took

504
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: it away.

505
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: It's funny because I love Apple Maps.

506
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: Do you really?

507
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: I think it looks beautiful. It just doesn't work. It

508
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: doesn't route you the right way. It does not have

509
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: the information that Google has. Okay, period, I've tried it.

510
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: I sat there and you know when I went all

511
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: in on the iPhone. Yeah, when I was writing my book.

512
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I'm trying to use it, and I'm.

513
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: Like, this is great. It looks beautiful, it's so.

514
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: Smooth the animations, and yes, it's gotten better, but at

515
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it does not bring you

516
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: to the places you need to go in a proper format.

517
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing on a regular basis, I honestly

518
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: have never really had these issues with Apple Maps, but

519
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: Google Maps for me, maybe you can fix this. There's

520
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: a delay, Like there's like a little bit of a lag.

521
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: I've noticed, Like I'll be going and then it'll all

522
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: like pass the street and I'll be like turn left

523
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: here and I'm like, well, I didn't get in the

524
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: left hand turn lane. Like there's a total I've never.

525
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: Had that problem. That could be isolated to just mage.

526
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: Maybe it's just my it could be. I mean there

527
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: are like hear it five seconds later for raps.

528
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean there are definitely sometimes when I'm waiting for

529
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: my maps to kind of catch up to where I'm going.

530
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: If you're disoriented, you just got on the you know.

531
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Off the airplane, and you're like going somewhere like in

532
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a rental car, and I'm like, do I need.

533
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: To make a love to write let me.

534
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes happens Apple. Okay, I will give this to Apple Maps.

535
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: I will okay, I will give this to Apple Maps.

536
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: You are right now. I will tell you this.

537
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: It mainly why do I always do that one? That's

538
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: what I meant to do. I will tell you this

539
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: walking directions specifically, Apple Maps does a better job of

540
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: finding your location quicker, getting a lock on that location,

541
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: and navigating around. I don't know why that is, but

542
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: I have noticed that. Yeah, So I don't know. That's

543
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: that's just one thing I've noticed. All right, Okay, so

544
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: what do we answer the question. Yeah, So the thing

545
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: is it's just it's the Android versus iOS. iOS does

546
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: not let you set defaults, which means, no matter what

547
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: whatever you're clicking on, it's not going to take you

548
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: to that thing because it's not It doesn't let you

549
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: set to faults. Even if you have the Chrome web

550
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: browser installed on your iPhone, any link you click is

551
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: not going to take you to Chrome.

552
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: It's going to take you to Safari. Yeah.

553
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: And so basically, Steve, you should probably be using the

554
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: Safari app. He's using the Google app. So if you

555
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: were to use the Safari app and go to a

556
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: restaurant address and click on that, it would take him

557
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: to Google Maps or Apple Maps.

558
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, take him to Apple Maps, yes, Notchrome.

559
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I will tell you this.

560
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: So this is the other thing that it's which is

561
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: also confusing Google codes their apps with what are called

562
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: deep links, which means when you click a link on Safari,

563
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: it's actually kind of tricking the iOS operating system into

564
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 1: opening Google Maps because normally it defaults to Apple Maps.

565
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: But Google has hard coded that link to actually take

566
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: you into its app, and that's.

567
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: Something that developers can do.

568
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Google is very good about it because they want to

569
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: keep you in the Google ecosystem.

570
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: So let me give you an example.

571
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: I use Gmail on my phone and I click links

572
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: in Gmail to an address, it will take me into

573
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: Google Maps. It's not happening, Nat, It's happening because Google

574
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: is kind of tricking the system with these deep links.

575
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna try it right now. So you're on

576
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: what I looked up Nobo.

577
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: So you looked up Nobuo R and why on Safari?

578
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: On Safari, So look up noboo and on Google and

579
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: do directions right there?

580
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: Big link? Okay, that which one? Either one. Let's see

581
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: what happens.

582
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: You're clicking the map link and it takes you into

583
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 1: Google Maps. Yep, that's because they have hard coded that

584
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: from Google Search. They said, oh, we want to make sure.

585
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: We're going to check to see if you have Google

586
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: Maps installed on your phone. This is why it's so confusing,

587
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: because half the time, if a developer has taken the

588
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: time to deep link it, it'll work.

589
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: Right.

590
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: If they haven't, it takes you to Apple Maps. You're like, wait, well,

591
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm confused.

592
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: It's very interesting, very confusing.

593
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the reason why Google

594
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: Maps changed their logo because now it's much more clear

595
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: that this is a different app than Apple Maps.

596
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: Very competitive.

597
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: Yes, other things to talk about from the Samsung event

598
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Galaxy Buds Plus.

599
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: And you got to.

600
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: Pay Galaxy Buds at the last event, right, Yes, they

601
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: gave you a test repair. Yeah, and you used them

602
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: for a while before. You're just made fun of you

603
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: and said you should have air pods. Yep, and now

604
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: they've been banished. But Galaxy Buds Plus are the new version.

605
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: And get this, the even the newest air pods have

606
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: about I think four to five hours of time use time. Now,

607
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: I've never had a problem with battery life on AirPods

608
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: ever in my life.

609
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: Thrown back in they charge super easy. Yeah, but the Galaxy.

610
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: Buds now have eleven hours of playback on a single charge.

611
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: That is quite impressives.

612
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: When you put them in the case, you are getting

613
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: an additional eleven hours. So you're talking twenty two hours.

614
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: What are you doing where you needed to be charged? No,

615
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: it just means you can go days without.

616
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: Charging it, right basically.

617
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Now, Also, you could be traveling a far distance, maybe

618
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: you're on a plane for a long time. That's when

619
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: it really comes into play. I've actually started to use

620
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: headphones less because I read this book about the body

621
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: I've talked about, and it was saying how our ears

622
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: were not really meant to have headphones in them at

623
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: all times. There's little tiny hairs in your ear that

624
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: helps you that help you hear. Those are like the

625
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: little they move in like the waves. So when you're

626
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: blasting them. And I'm not a doctor, don't take this

627
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: for you know, like any medical advice, but I'm just

628
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: saying it makes sense. The more you use them, the

629
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: more you're wearing them out. The hairs, the little kind

630
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: of receptors that are.

631
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: That makes sense. I mean, it sounds like it makes sense.

632
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: That's as a very basic version of it.

633
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Now an audiologist may dispute that, but it makes it

634
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: made sense to me that the more you're using these,

635
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: not like a muscle in your body where you can

636
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: just work it out and it gets bigger and better,

637
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: this is your ears, it gets worse.

638
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that is my thought, is that.

639
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't need headphones in all the time when

640
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: I'm cruising through the airport or on a plane. So

641
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: I've been trying to make a mindful effort to not

642
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: use them as much.

643
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: Take it for what it's worth.

644
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Do you hear better? No?

645
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: I still can't hear my wife when she yells me.

646
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: Now here's another cool thing about these Galaxy buds. Plus

647
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: you get sixty minutes of playback with just three minutes

648
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: of quick charging.

649
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: So have you ever had this thing?

650
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: And it hasn't really happened to me recently, but there

651
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: used to be a time when, like you would forget

652
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: to charge your earbuds you go to the gym.

653
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm only like a heavy lifting day.

654
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: I bet your sister love that job.

655
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't do that.

656
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: So my point he does not lift, so I do

657
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: five pounds, yeah, five pound weights.

658
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: So if you know, if you're in a big day

659
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: where you're like going to the gym and all of

660
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: a sudden your thing's not charged, you can put these

661
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: on the charger for three minutes and you'll get sixty

662
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: minutes of playback, which is great. You can also put

663
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: them on the back of your phone because the Galaxy

664
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: has what's called reverse charging. You can put them on

665
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: the back of your Samsung phone and charge them for

666
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: three minutes and get sixty minutes. If you you know,

667
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: forget to charge your device and you get to the

668
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: gym and it's totally dead. Three minutes on a charger

669
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: and you're good to go for an hour. Now, for me,

670
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: my workouts use last closer to like three to four hours,

671
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: so this would not work out for my major lift sessions.

672
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: So funny, but I'm kidding.

673
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: That's a joke.

674
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Like my goal with the gym is to get in

675
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: and out as fast as humanly.

676
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: Goal with the gym is just to like look at

677
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: the weights acknowledge their presence.

678
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: I just wish it would work with just looking at

679
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: them and not having that. That's the next and the.

680
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: Other cool thing is that since Samsung has the reverse

681
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: wireless charging, you can just place these Galaxy buds in

682
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: their case on the back of your Galaxy phone. If

683
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: you have one of the newer phones that reverse wireless charges,

684
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: it'll charge them in three minutes and you get sixty

685
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: minutes to work out.

686
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: Wow. Sorry, I don't want to take this like Samsung

687
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: thing away from Samsung, But can you do that with AirPods?

688
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: No, the iPhone does not let you reverse wireless charge.

689
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: It has wireless charging, it doesn't it will not charge

690
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: another device, but you can charge your AirPods on the

691
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: back of a Galaxy device.

692
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure there are a lot of like iPhone users

693
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: that they were wondering that question though.

694
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely speaking for the people, and that would

695
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: be a cool feature for Apple to do, and they probably.

696
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 3: Will, Yeah, eventually.

697
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Apple usually is a little step behind. But when they

698
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: do things, they do them polished. Yes, and I'm not

699
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: saying Samsung's not polished, but Samsung, let's be honest, they

700
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: like to try things and fail publicly. We've seen it

701
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: with the Galaxy Note seven which lit on fire. They

702
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: just send the hand to my house to like pick

703
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: it up. They sent someone to pick.

704
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: Up the device.

705
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: I didn't know that that happened to you.

706
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: I didn't blow up, but they recalled all the devices,

707
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: including the review units. So I had one which I

708
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: was secretly going to keep just to hike have it.

709
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: I was gonna be like, oh.

710
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't have one, and sure enough they're like, no, no,

711
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: We're sending someone to you to pick it up from.

712
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: You, and so yeah, wow, I wish you had it. Yeah,

713
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: that was I remember that that whole situation.

714
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: Did keep the fire phone from Amazon. That was the

715
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: other one.

716
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: That was the one where they really wanted it back,

717
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: and I was just like, I take it for another week,

718
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: just to try something.

719
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: And then they finally like, forgot that.

720
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: If Jeff was using a fire phone when that whole

721
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: hack happened.

722
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: He wouldn't have been hacked.

723
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: No, he would have.

724
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: I just thought it'd be so cool to look back

725
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: at the fire phone in like a couple of years,

726
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: and can we do a story on the fire We

727
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: should revisit.

728
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: Let's power up. It probably doesn't power up anymore.

729
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: You'll never for sure get invited to an Amazon.

730
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: Amazon hates me.

731
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: Actually, the list of companies that are ever since I

732
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: started this podcast where I talk more about the companies

733
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: that I cover, that's when it all started.

734
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: Because they probably listened and they're like, Rich, we don't

735
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: like you anymore. But here's the thing.

736
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I gotta keep it real for you, the listener.

737
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: For your homies out there listening.

738
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: I do because that is the bottom line. You gotta look,

739
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: if I don't get invited to the secret champagne room

740
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: at the Samsung event, so be it.

741
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: Hey, at least your video got three million views. That

742
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: doesn't hurt. That feels good. It did feel good, better

743
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: than you know, less than that go ahead anyways. Next

744
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: week is from Richard. Hello, Oh, I wrote this honestly,

745
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: I think you did say he loves me. Richard asks,

746
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: as of late, I have plenty of time. That must

747
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: be nice, and I would like to know what equipment

748
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: is needed to start a podcast. I have the latest

749
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: Apple software.

750
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think you.

751
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: Should tell him because we don't need any more competition. Yeah,

752
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: just kidding, Richard.

753
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: You know I am not the best to answer this

754
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: question because number one, we do this podcast in the

755
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: worst possible way ever. I mean you hear the audio

756
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: quality is not very good. Production quality is not very good.

757
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: It's just not very We're not we are not.

758
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: I was so harsh for the Model podcast.

759
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, and our audio audio sounds fine, I guess.

760
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: But we have a nice board, which I'm not going

761
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: to recommend to him because it's too expensive to start.

762
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: But we have We use what's called the road cast

763
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: roadcaster Pro. Are you is it on the back of it?

764
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

765
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: Okay, because it doesn't say it looking any broadcaster pro

766
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: does this say it on there? And I thought it

767
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: was about five hundred dollars.

768
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably about five hundred bucks.

769
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Hey, Richard might have some time.

770
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: It depends if he has. He didn't say he hid money,

771
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: he said he has time. And there's a couple of

772
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: things in this life you.

773
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: Get like if you have time. Though, if you have time,

774
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: you can make money.

775
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: You could make money.

776
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: Well.

777
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: So what I would recommend, and I would not recommend

778
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: starting out with anything expensive. Start out with a USB

779
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: microphone from Blue Microphones b l U E. Look up

780
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: their mics. They've got great selections of things that started

781
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks all the way up to like a

782
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: couple hundred. Get one of their mics, plug it into

783
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: your computer. If you have an Apple computer with the

784
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: latest software, get an app that lets your record. You

785
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: can do it with something as simple as quick Time,

786
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: or you can look at a company audio Hijack. Audio

787
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: Hijack lets you record things. But this company, Rogue AMIEBA

788
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: r O g U E A m O E b

789
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: A Rogue Amiba has great little apps that can help

790
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: you produce a podcast. They've got a whole bunch of them.

791
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: But you can do it in garage band again for free.

792
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: So my advice start out as cheap and as free

793
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: as you can because the toughest part about doing a

794
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: podcast is actually.

795
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: Doing it on a regular basis.

796
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: And it took me about three years of doing this

797
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: podcast to actually do it on a regular basis. And

798
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: now we have it in the calendar and we do

799
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: it and we know we're gonna do it, and that's it.

800
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 3: It's like meditation.

801
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to do it every day five am.

802
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: Like me, is that where you do at five am?

803
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: Then I will do it at five am.

804
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: Two.

805
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: If you ever come to my desk and see me,

806
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: like my biggest fear is like someone taps on me

807
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: and they're like and they turn around.

808
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, but you do it.

809
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do a little headspace. I don't do it

810
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: every day. I do it and I remember, but I

811
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: will be honest. Doing a little meditation at the beginning

812
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: of your day is a very nice thing because it's to.

813
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: The time when you start your day. What do you

814
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 2: want to do? You want to get in, go, go,

815
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: go go.

816
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 3: Goody wants to meditate. I just like, have to get

817
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: some stuff done, you know?

818
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: So do I No? I know, but you find so

819
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: I do it.

820
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: And now I have so many questions.

821
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: Well, usually what I do? I come in a little Yeah,

822
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: it's a new thing.

823
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: Okay, because because I can tell I yes, I yep, yep.

824
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: I really have.

825
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, like I truly feel like I've been

826
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: more zen.

827
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 3: This is really sorry for all the listeners listening to.

828
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: This, but there aren't any, so that's okay.

829
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: Sorry. Mom. So last week I was listening to a

830
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 3: podcast about meditating and someone was commenting, oh, by the way,

831
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: like once you started meditating, like everyone could tell and anyway,

832
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: So then I meditated that day and I was like, wow,

833
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: I need to do this more. And then the next

834
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: day I was like, I should tell Rich we should

835
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 3: have like designated ten minute like you're meditating, I'm meditating.

836
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing that.

837
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 3: So now it okay.

838
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: And we also actually have a room in the tech

839
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: studio that's fully dark, so I think we get some

840
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: candles in there, like a little mac and it's just

841
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: like you put the little thing on the door that says,

842
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, do not disturb, But that would actually be

843
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: kind of funny because that room is never used.

844
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: We have two little rooms.

845
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: Well one is like a closet. The other one's like

846
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: more of like a little tiny be perfect meditation. Yeah,

847
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: and I think it's important. I think the naps at

848
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: work are important. I think that this is what I

849
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: think we're realizing as humans as we get into like

850
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: this new century is like I am.

851
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: All about hard work. I love to work hard.

852
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: You know that I love to Yes, I do play

853
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: hard too, But the reality is you also have to

854
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: take time to further yourself and to really make sure

855
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: that you're doing okay. For me, a lot of it

856
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: is running. Like I run a lot, so that's like

857
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,959
Speaker 1: my time and like whatever, and I like to read

858
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: a lot. Some other people it's like Netflix or whatever.

859
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like that really actually calms your brain.

860
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: Like I know a lot of people think like, oh,

861
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: if I watch TV for an hour, but I don't

862
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: think it does. I think it actually it shuffles things

863
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: around a lot more because you're seeing things on the

864
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: screen and you're kind of like thinking about them and

865
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: they it triggers other feelings and you know what I mean,

866
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: Like if you're.

867
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 3: Totally any show you're watch, I feel like whenever I

868
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 3: watch TV, I'm always on my phone too.

869
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: That's another show.

870
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 3: So I'm like basically doing like too much at once.

871
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: But that's a real problem in general, and I don't

872
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: know what the solution is because I find myself like

873
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: yesterday I was homesick with my kid and I'm not kidding,

874
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: I must have looked at my phone for seven hours

875
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's a problem, like.

876
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: The screen time stuff. I'm like, that's a problem.

877
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

878
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: Anyway, start the podcast and you know it'll be great.

879
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: Just just send us a link so we can listen

880
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 3: to it.

881
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: Okay, let me get to this because I did mention

882
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: it in the intro. But Mac malware out pacing Windows

883
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: malware for the our Windows PC threats for the first

884
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: time since twenty nineteen. A new report from malware Bite

885
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: says four hundred percent increase in detected Mac malware on

886
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: a year by year basis. And you might be thinking, wait, what,

887
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: Mac doesn't have any issues, there's no malware for Mac.

888
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: But here is what they say.

889
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily viruses like you would think and the

890
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: trojan horses of the like the Windows.

891
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 2: Side of things. What it really is.

892
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: And there's one program in particular that I've seen in

893
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: action on my mother in law's computer.

894
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: It's a lot of it is.

895
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: This is basic malware like adware that takes over I

896
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: call it browser hijacking. And when you go to search

897
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: for something, all of a sudden, it's searching on some

898
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: random search website. And what they're doing is you might

899
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: get the same links like some Google stuff, but all

900
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: the ads are taken over by this other company that

901
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: makes money when you misclick something or just keeps putting

902
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: pop ups. The other program is called mac Keeper, which

903
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: is a quote unquote cleaning program. And I noticed this

904
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: was installed on her computer, and at first I thought

905
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: it was a handy little program. I was like, Oh,

906
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: that's good, she has a little Mac clean up clean. No,

907
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: it's total bogus. So to uninstall these things on Mac

908
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: is actually quite easy, but you have to know what

909
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: you're doing. Yeah, most people that are getting these things

910
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing, so they can't just find

911
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: and drag the program to the trash. And a lot

912
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: of times they do put tentacles in the operating system

913
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: that makes them a little bit tougher to get rid

914
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: of than a typical program that's so creepy.

915
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: It's just really annoying.

916
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: And Mac is still a safe environment when it comes

917
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: to like viruses.

918
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 2: A lot of the times.

919
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: But again, what they're doing is they're targeting this malware

920
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: because they can make money off of it, and they've

921
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: got it installed on a bunch of computers. So the

922
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: two things you need to look out for is something

923
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: called new tab and that again is what you know

924
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: tab and that's kind of adware. And then there's one

925
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: called pc vark pc vark and mac keeper and those

926
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: are the things that are really the bad stuff. All right,

927
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: I think we have time for one more question on

928
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: your OPA.

929
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 2: One more quick, one quick one.

930
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see. Okay, So this last question comes from Subhan. Currently,

931
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: I'm using Google Chrome, Google Chrome Cast first generation and

932
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: I'm upgrading to Roku Ultra streaming player. Is the Roku

933
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 3: ultrastreaming player worth it?

934
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 2: Yes? I think so. Roku Ultra is their nicest Roku player.

935
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of great features, it's fast, it's smooth.

936
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: I've been testing it out. I think we've talked about

937
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: this in previous shows. So I've been using it, you know,

938
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: every once in a while to kind of see like

939
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: what it does, how it reacts to things like when

940
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Disney Plus came out, I kind of looked on there

941
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: to see how Disney Plus worked. I would say my

942
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: impression of the Roku interface, it's not my favorite. I

943
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: think for simplicity, Apple TV is my favorite, and I

944
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: think for like just a cheap streamer, Fire TV is

945
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: really nice, but it's crowded with a lot of stuff

946
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: on the screen. Roku, I think has a nice balance

947
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: of like simplicity, but also there are ads on the screen,

948
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: which I don't necessarily like. But also I love their

949
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: universal search, and I love all the features you get.

950
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: It's the Ultra has all the features you can want

951
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: in a streaming player for a hundred.

952
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 2: Bucks, which is kind of nice.

953
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: So I say it's a great upgrade from the and

954
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna love the fact that you have

955
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: a remote control that's dedicated. You have a volume button

956
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: on the side of your remote, which is really nice.

957
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: You have a power on and off which controls your

958
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: TV so you only need one remote for everything, which

959
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: is great nice. Plus you can plug your headphones into

960
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: the remote on the Ultra, which is also really nice,

961
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: so you don't have to disturb people if you want

962
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: to watch stuff quietly.

963
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 3: Right.

964
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: It's just a nice little player.

965
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: Cool.

966
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: So I think he made a great decision. All right,

967
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: two more things I want to tell you about before

968

Speaker 1: we go twenty twenty elections. Siri can now answer questions

969
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: about results, primaries and more so you can ask real

970
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: time results like Hey, Siri, who's winning the New Hampshire primaries?

Speaker 2: Who's winning? Who won the Democratic Iowa caucus?

972
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: Can I try it?

973
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: And yeah? Sure? Go ahead?

974

Speaker 2: Donald Trump won the Republican primary with ninety point four

982
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: percent of the vote.

983

Speaker 1: so we got a Siri now Google assistant. I know

Speaker 1: poem with the assistant. Oh real quick, Google Assistant. Another

1024
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: thing I'm loving right now. And I just started using

1025
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: this because of that commercial during the Super Bowl where

1026
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: it was did you see the Loretta commercial where it

1027
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: was like the really sad old man who his wife

1028
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: died and he kept saying, remember that Loretta loved you

1029
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: know chocolate. Okay, turns out that actually does come in handy.

1030
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: I used it twice because my kid got sick and

1031
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: I had to remember when I gave him talentol and

1032
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 1: I said, Google, remember that I gave my kid talana

1033
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: at twelve fifteen pm. And then my wife comes home

1034
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: she's like, what times you give him talent? I'm like,

1035
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: I can't remember, h Google, what did I tell you

1036
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: to remember? And sure enough on the screen is said,

1037
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: you gave your son talent aw twelve fifteen PM. Really

1038
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: kind of cool, so you can It's kind of like

1039
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: a reminder, but like it's for longer term remembering.

1040
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: Reminder like kind of triggers at a certain time.

1041
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: Remember is just like, hey, remember remember that I want

1042
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: to read that book, you know or whatever. So it's

1043
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: kind of a cool little feature to use.

1044
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 3: Imber remember I should ignore that person?

1045
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: Does Siri?

1046
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: Do you remember, say, remember that I ate lunch four

1047
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 1: hours ago?

1048
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 3: Hey, Siri, remember that I ate lunch four hours ago.

1049
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: I don't see an app Yeah, okay.

1050
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: So she doesn't do it. Kind of cool. It's just

1051
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: kind of a neat little thing. And I think the

1052
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: more you use it, the more you can kind of

1053
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: come up with different I don't know, just different little

1054
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: things that you would use it for.

1055
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 3: Right on forgets a lot of things. So maybe she

1056
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: should start.

1057
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: So the syntax is h Google remember that. And I

1058
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: looked at it when I first started using this, I

1059
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: remembered that. The first time I used it, or I

1060
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: guess the first time I used it was when I said,

1061
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: remember me for Coco, like play the song, and so

1062
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: I said me Coco or something like the movie.

1063
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: When that was so it clearly missed. Got my anyway,

1064
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 2: that's cool. That's going to do it for this episode
