Oh. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.760 I love Disney way too much. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.760 There was some Cereal company one time that did like 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.840 put real gold or real metal or something as the 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.320 pres like if you found it, you won something. But 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.840 people were like weighing the boxes to see which ones 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.160 were heavier, and they were able to find it that way. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.720 Well, there's those toys that kids have too that I 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.240 really want, just one of them. It's where it comes 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.280 in like a gold brick and they give you a 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.480 little shovel and you have to dig out the toy 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.000 in the middle. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.000 I don't know anything about that, and I don't want 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.200 to know because my kids will want it. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.880 Yeah. Kids nowadays, I feel like everything has to have 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.680 kids nowadays. Yeah, kids nowadays have like toys within toys. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.760 So this one is like a gold brick, but it's 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.920 like sand, so it's going to make a mess. Yes, 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.120 And they give you a little shovel and they tell 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.920 you like there's a real piece of rock or metal 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.360 where in some cases you'll find a piece of gold 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.800 inside your gold brick, so after you dig it out, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.400 you could just pour water on it too, by the way, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.440 and then the whole thing just dissolves. But people dig 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.799 and find it and then take out the little gold piece. 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.760 However, I do like the fact. I mean, as much 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.960 as these toys annoy the hell out of me, I 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.279 would rather my kids play with a toy of some 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.760 sort than be on their phone outside and play or whatever. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.640 But now that Cooper has a phone, we finally caved 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.080 and gave it to her. Oh boy, Like I just 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.839 checked her usage and she was on it for eight 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:40.560 hours yesterday. Not good. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:41.920 That's terrible. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:43.560 Yeah, not good. I mean I don't know if she 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.320 was actually on it the whole time, but it showed 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:47.440 a usage of eight hours. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.680 And that's like Pandora's box, like once it's open, you 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.360 can't go back. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.560 Well, the good thing is is we can hold that 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.320 over her head so when she's bad, but by phone, 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.520 because we have the app on there where you can 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.839 just shut the phone off, which is spectacular and it 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.760 only works you know then to like call her text 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.200 or something. Yeah, she can't do her little tiktoks anymore? 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.520 Oh boy, what is that? 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.480 That was a TikTok dance? 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.040 I don't think that was a TikTok dance. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:09.960 I saw her do that. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.600 I mean I saw some other things shaken. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.239 But thanks thanks? So yeah so, I mean, and plus 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.159 everyone's mad at me because we gave her the new phone, 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.040 the thirteen. Yeah, and I still have an eight. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.520 Well are you betting your mini? 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.240 It's supposed to be coming. And I tried to explain 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:26.839 the whole thing is the deal that we got was 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.679 it was buy one, get one free, So of course 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.240 we're going to get another thirteen, you know, but I'm 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.320 on a different carrier. It's a whole long thing. Whatever 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.000 it is is, it's fine. 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:36.560 Yeah. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.200 Yeah, So I'm finally going to step into the twenty 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.120 twenties and get a at least a twelve. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.080 Yeah, how about that. I'm saying, no more I do. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.760 I'm gonna miss my button. I know you said I'll 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:47.480 get over it, but. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.200 Yeah, the button you miss, but then you get used 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.840 to it. It's not too bad. Wow, I can't believe 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.760 she has a cell phone now, she's really growing up. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.839 Well that's what they need. That in middle school or 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.840 so they say yeah, because if they're taking a different bus, 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.760 or if they're thing late or whatever. You know, it's 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.560 embarrassing en have to go to the office and call 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.960 your parents from the phone that's plugged into a wall. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.600 I do get it anymore. It's one of those things 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.360 that really, I'm telling you, well, your girls only grew 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.720 up with the Internet and technology. Now, that's weird, that's true. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.039 Like I was on the cusp of it. So I 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.599 lived in a world that was with dial up and 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.640 also pre internet, where we didn't have easy access to 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:27.159 these things. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.239 I lived in a world with rotary phones. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:35.600 My grandma. My grandma had one of those in her bedroom. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.080 It was my favorite thing. It was an old, old phone. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.560 It was so much fun. We always used to play 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:39.800 with it. 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.520 My dad still has one, and there's a jack outside 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.440 on the deck. Well, he'll bring it out and plug 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.080 it in if we need a phone outside, you know, 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.440 if everybody's outside, because I don't even know if to 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.400 have a portable phone, but that he plugs the rotary 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.560 phone in outside. I love that. And he also has 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.880 in the garage that we've when I was a kid 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.800 at work. Now it's just there. It's hooked up, but 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.120 it doesn't work anymore because the humidity killed it. It's 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.080 one of those old cool wooden box phones that has 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.920 the big long thing coming out of it and the 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.680 receiver on the side with the wire that you hold 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.520 up to your ear like this and you crank it. Yeah, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.320 why would you crank it? Well, back in the day, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.760 there was no dialing anything. You would crank the thing 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.160 and it would call an operator and you would say, yes, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.480 please connect me to JE seven forty two sixty, you know, 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.600 and I'd say one moment plays and they would have 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.880 to connect you. That's how things worked back in the day. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.600 Those You couldn't dial anything. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:26.160 Wow. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.080 I mean people would have numbers, but you'd have to 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:29.560 call an operator to connect them. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.400 And didn't we try and call an operator on the 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:32.760 show once. They don't do it anymore. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.320 We also we don't have the kind of phones that 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.440 you can. You have to like literally have a landline 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.000 phone that you can just press zero, and I'm not 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.320 sure what happens anymore. This building used to be full 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.000 of telephone operators. We are in the former AT and 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:44.640 T building. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:45.600 Oh, that's so cool. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.280 Downstairs in our theater was a switch room so when 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.360 you called the operator from a phone, yeah, it would 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.840 go there and they would say operator, you know with 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.360 the thing like you see on TV, and they have 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.120 all the switches in front of them, the plugs, and 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.040 they'd have to they they would connect you. I feel 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.040 like that would have been your dream job, to be 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:03.560 an operator. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.480 Yeah. I would connect people to the wrong people all 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.480 the time. No, I feel like you'd be perfect with that. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.400 And then if somebody tried to like step in, you'd 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.760 be like, no, my board, you're right. Then slowly but 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.000 surely you take over the entire department and you just 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:16.880 be running around. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.160 Yes, they would promote me to supervisor, like they did 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.160 at Western Union and Cedar Rapids Iowa. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.040 Ah, right, what happened? There goes your one reference for 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.960 the show. Can't you use Cedar Rapids Iowa? This the 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:27.600 rest of the show. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.800 Okay, I'm sorry. That was a fun job, though, I 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.160 don't did I ever tell you what I did there? 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.920 What were you like someone who does taxes? No? 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.800 Well, I mean okay, so obviously Western Union started as 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.360 a telegram company. They would they would send telegrams, you know, 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.040 because it was faster than the mail. But you couldn't 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.240 really call people, so you would, you know, do a telegram. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.719 It was like, hello, dad, just want to let you 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.640 know mom was in a horrible car accident and died 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.520 last night. Stop. And then some guy would run the 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.520 telegram over. That's that that, you know, that's what it was. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.960 That's how you gave people news. So you were the 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.760 person that said this, no, no, no no. But okay, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.320 so let's just say it was nineteen fifteen and I 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.520 just had a baby and wanted to tell my wife 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:08.960 because she wasn't with me. 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.280 I don't know, she's at home doing the chores because 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.679 I'm out working the children because they can work, but 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.400 my lady needs to stay home. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.640 Hey, just wanted to let you know, had a baby. Boy. Stop, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.079 everybody's very excited. Stop. That was the period. Stop, but 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.240 you paid per words. They would try to keep it short. 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.400 Had a baby. Stop, it's a boy. Stop, and that 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.320 was it, you know, because that would probably cost you, 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.120 like I don't know, fifty cents or whatever it was 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.720 back then, but that was expensive, you know. So anyway, 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.960 so they then went on to money transfers, wiring money 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.120 when you didn't wire, it's not really wiring money. Because 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.280 that's bank to bank. But so they did money transfers, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.040 and they had a different a lot of different money 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.240 transfer services, and I wound up being the head or 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.679 the supervisor of quick Collect that they called it, and 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.280 it was it was a thing where people right before 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.840 their house was going to get taken away because they 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.600 didn't pay their bill, they would send a quick collect 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.600 to the company that was collecting, or a credit card 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.320 that we're into fault, anything like that. So to spare 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.240 you all the logistics of it, it was just a 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.920 way to send money to companies you owed money to. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.400 And there was also another part of it that would 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.040 send money to casinos. So I would work the overnights 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.680 and we would get calls at like two o'clock in 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.240 the morning, Yes, I need you to send my money 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.080 to Circus Circus. My mom sent it to me and 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.200 if I don't get it, I'm gonna lose my car, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.320 you know. So I'd have to go into the system 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.920 and like direct his money if he actually had it 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.240 to Circus Circus and a check would print out in 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.600 the casino cage at the casino and then the guy 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.719 would be able to cash it there. So that's that's 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.720 what I did. So there were many of like drunken 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.840 crazy phone calls that we would get overnight, and you know, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.040 I was just kind of overseeing that department. Geeze, lots 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.800 of fun. I don't think I'm guessing they don't do 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:50.840 that anymore. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.120 No, because you could just do it with your bank directly, right. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.600 See, Western they kind of they dropped the ball. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:55.840 You know. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.880 It's just like Blockbuster Video could have been the Netflix, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.199 but they dropped the ball. Yeah, they were like DVDs. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.040 Who needs things shipped to their house? People love going 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.959 out of their way to come to a store exactly. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.480 So Western Union could have been the Venmo if they 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.440 would have jumped on board sooner. Yeah, you know. But 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.920 now it's just like I think you can get like 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.880 a Western Union gift card or something now like a 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.720 cash card. But they don't do much. They still transfer money, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.480 but only for scams. You know, Hey, you know your 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.560 son is in jail and if you want to get 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.840 them out, you'll have to Western Union me three thousand dollars. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.840 That's the thing with what is it? They also do 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:39.440 that with Craigslist. I remember when I was looking to 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.520 sell my couch or sell any item, people will always 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.800 be like, I can't do that, but I can give 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.840 you a cashier's check from Western Unions. Yeah, just and 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.240 that doesn't work. And the cashiers check doesn't work because 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:54.920 there's no money behind it, right. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.840 Well, I mean there is if it's an actual cashiers check, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.640 Like if you got a cashiers check from a bank, 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.360 you can take it to the bank because it's real. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.959 But you know, everything's a scam. And as people get older, 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.600 they have to be careful because there's more and more 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.160 new stuff that like, I can't believe some of the 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.720 stuff my parents are falling for. Yeah, they're smart people. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.440 And my mom was like, I want an iPad. I said, no, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.360 you didn't. Please, don't click on anything, don't enter anything. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.720 My dad, my cousin said that he needs some Google 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.200 gift cards for his son. I haven't spoken to this 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.440 cousin in ten years, but he said he needs it. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.640 Can you help me buy them? I'm like, dad, what 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.960 is the matter with you? You're smarter than that. But 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.120 I mean, it's just this is all new for them, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.120 so they don't they don't understand that it's a scam. Yeah. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.080 No, it's sad. My grandma not to bring her up again. 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:44.480 But hey, Graham's she uh, she had people come to 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.120 her house and they rang the doorbell and they sold 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.880 her magazine subscriptions for something, and she was literally she 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.800 closed the door, and I remember she called my mom 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.040 directly after him, was like, I think I just got 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.000 scammed and I don't know why I fell for this. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.560 Yeah, you kind of get sucked in the things. I 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.360 trust me Andrew. When we get older, it's going to 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.720 happen to us and our kids are going to say, dude, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.080 what are you doing? You know, we think that we 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.360 know everything, but there's just new stuff constantly. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.440 Yeah, I mean I sometimes get them too. We're now. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.560 They try and do it with bitcoin, like we have 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.880 your IP address, which like, how do you have my 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:23.199 IP address? That's a b They want a very specific 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.120 number of bitcoin when obviously we both know bitcoin is 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.760 like how much is it for even one? You want 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.320 eight of them? Where do you think I'm getting that 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:35.160 money from? And then see what what. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.440 I have to tell you. I think somebody does have 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.640 my IP address because my desktop at home, my Mac 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.320 looks like this. I don't know if you can see it. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.120 It's all look at the font it's question marks. Can 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.600 you see that. It's hard to see, but they're all 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.000 question marks and nothing works anymore. So I have a 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:55.560 feeling that I. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:57.360 Did you recently update your computer? 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:59.319 No, but I think my kid like clicks on it. 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.840 She plays rope roadblocks on there, and I think she 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.080 clicks on stuff and it's like, hey, kid, you want 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:05.600 this for free? And she's like, yeah, I'll take it, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.400 and clicks on it, you know, and then the completely 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.280 take over the gear. I thought Max couldn't really. 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.000 They don't really get pop ups be it infected like that. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:15.720 It depends on what website you're going to. 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.319 But I guess if you click on a link that 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.040 a bad person sends you and you could anything could happen. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.800 Right Well, to me, that looks more like maybe you've 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.280 got a system update that you don't know about, and 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.200 then the fonts aren't recognized anymore. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.480 And the only reason I don't think so is because 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.000 when I turn it on and it's loading, it stops 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.360 halfway through for about five minutes and then creeps to 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.200 the end and then finally loads, and then it makes 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.040 all kinds of weird noises. Yeah, and it's having quite 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:43.560 the spasm. 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.000 Well, time to ditch the computer. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.400 But I mean it's a really expensive computer. It does 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.640 not have a lot of use on it. I mean it's. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.280 It's Apple. Then they could run a system diagnostics trick. 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:55.640 How much is that going to cost? 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:56.240 I don't know. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.240 I mean maybe you have Apple Care not on that thing. 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.000 It's from twenty seventeen. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.800 I think, oh, yeah, that's this one. Then I'm recording 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.560 this on is from twenty fourteen. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.760 And how about this one that I'm want recording on? 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.520 That one I used in college. So actually I only 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.000 had that one for like two three years because the 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.720 one I had prior to it, I rubbed magnets on 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.400 it by accident because I was like, oh my god, 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.880 this is so cool. Magnets are sticking to it. Then 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.760 I like put it over here and like right by 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.880 the mousepad of your MacBook that's where your hard drive is, 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.040 and that literally wipes everything. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.640 Oh technology. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.880 Yeah. They actually asked when I brought it in. They 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.640 were like, what were you doing? Like why did you 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.760 erase it like that? And I was like, I didn't 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.200 mean to. I just I don't an idiot. I thought 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:43.120 they were magnets. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.520 I don't think people realize the power of magnets with things. Yeah, 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.480 you know, Well the. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.520 New iPhone, if you have a cochlear implant or a 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.080 specific heart implant, you can't use the iPhone twelve Mini 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.880 with it. Why because on the new iPhones they have 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.480 what they call mag safe chargers. So it's like it's 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.600 a charger and it like clicks on through a magnet. 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.520 But it's very, very very strong. Because even with this 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.880 case you see this white pad in the case, Yeah, 0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.080 that's mag safe, So with this on, it still clicks on. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.400 So it's a super strong magnet that attracts it. So 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.200 you better watch out and hope your cochlear implant doesn't 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:21.680 go on the fridge. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.360 Why is a magnet okay with a phone, but not 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.480 a computer. There's no hard drive in a phone. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:30.040 Well, because this magnet it's it's like not it's not 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.040 sticking to anything. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.040 So wait a second. So my twelve that I'm getting 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.880 is not going to work with one of these charging pads. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.440 No, it'll still work, but the new ones they call 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.920
