Speaker 1: iPhone can now be used as a security key for
Speaker 1: Google fit It gets a new blood oxygen monitoring feature.
Speaker 1: Verizon launches a new privacy focused online search site. Plus
Speaker 1: Your Tech Questions Answered. What's going on? I'm Rich Damiro.
Speaker 1: This is Rich on Tech, the podcast with different intro
Speaker 1: music every single week of the year. Producer Megan.
Speaker 2: The music is so funny, it's making me laugh.
Speaker 1: You made it back from CS?
Speaker 2: Did I?
Speaker 1: Last week we were in a minivan recording this show.
Speaker 1: This week we are back in our amazing studio. Luxuriously appointed.
Speaker 1: That's the theme of our studio here at headquarters Ktila,
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California, United States, Northern North America.
Speaker 2: You said this last week, Earth Earth, Galaxy one.
Speaker 1: Galaxy one. Anyway, welcome back. We've got a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about. I feel like a lot of people did
Speaker 1: not send any questions last week because they're like, you're
Speaker 1: just too busy with CS, even though we have enough
Speaker 1: for the podcast, believe me, but it's still it was
Speaker 1: like a trickle.
Speaker 2: Oh do you think people really were like, he's at CS,
Speaker 2: it's not the time.
Speaker 1: No people could care last thing. People have no idea,
Speaker 1: They don't even you know, like, who's who's keeping track
Speaker 1: of my schedule? Right?
Speaker 3: I'm just curious when when is the busiest time for
Speaker 3: questions like did.
Speaker 1: You get to take the holidays? Yeah? What was your
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from CS last week? I know we talked
Speaker 1: a little bit, we're not going to harp on it.
Speaker 1: What was your biggest takeaway?
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway that like self driving cars, Like that's
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. And it became very real for me.
Speaker 1: Being in that because that was your first time, that
Speaker 1: my first time.
Speaker 2: I think we talked about this last week, but yeah.
Speaker 1: They did, but we were in a we are going
Speaker 1: to have self driving We just edited that story and
Speaker 1: did you watch it?
Speaker 2: I haven't watched it.
Speaker 1: Oh it was great. Like so Megan and I actually
Speaker 1: shot the story ourselves, and so it's always a little
Speaker 1: dicey for our editor to do these stories because when
Speaker 1: we've shot them, it's like a crapshoot, like you don't
Speaker 1: know if the shots are there, you don't know if
Speaker 1: any You can't take anything for granted. Because we shot
Speaker 1: it on like our iPhone.
Speaker 3: I got like car sick because I wasn't like I
Speaker 3: wasn't watching the road I was just like shooting right right,
Speaker 3: trying to get a.
Speaker 2: Good try to get a good angle.
Speaker 1: Megan had to take a breather one point, the phone
Speaker 1: just drops to the floor. So we're gonna have that
Speaker 1: story on KTLA and soon. But that was a great one.
Speaker 2: That was that was really interesting Monday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, whatever day you're listening to this. This is
Speaker 1: the thing. When you're doing social media, time does not matter.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as time, because you could be
Speaker 1: listening right now midnight in twenty twenty five. You could
Speaker 1: be a time traveler. You could literally be.
Speaker 3: Listening eye and you could be listening it doesn't even
Speaker 3: exist anymore, so you can't even look at it.
Speaker 1: Or you could be back in nineteen sixty two and
Speaker 1: you're listening from the future because you went to the future,
Speaker 1: downloaded our podcast and now you're listening on your way
Speaker 1: back home. Yeah, I mean, we don't know believe in that.
Speaker 1: Oh I wo, I love I mean, come on, back
Speaker 1: to the future. Is my When I was a kid,
Speaker 1: I tried to build my own dolore and with like
Speaker 1: a flex capacitor.
Speaker 2: Are you still trying to build your own Dolore?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just still trying to get back to the future,
Speaker 1: get back to back in time. I'm stuck. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to tell you, but I'm actually here from another time.
Speaker 1: So oh wow, Yeah, it's weird, it's complicated, but let's
Speaker 1: start with Google. You can now use your iPhone as
Speaker 1: a security key for Google log in. And what this
Speaker 1: means is that you always hear me talking about the
Speaker 1: importance of two factor authentication. What that means is that
Speaker 1: you sign up for a website and it will text
Speaker 1: you a code when you try to log in. Well,
Speaker 1: that's secure, but it's not that secure because that code
Speaker 1: has to travel through the Internet, or through the telephone
Speaker 1: lines or through waver to arrive to your phone. And
Speaker 1: if you're using something like Google Voice, you might have
Speaker 1: your number and your text connected to a bunch of
Speaker 1: different devices. So the most secure way is this physical
Speaker 1: security key. And what this physical security key does is
Speaker 1: it is in close proximity to your computer and it says, hey,
Speaker 1: is this you logging in? And you approve it. Megan
Speaker 1: is really grinning over here. I'm not sure what's going on.
Speaker 2: An email?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, good, We'll get to the emails in just
Speaker 1: a second.
Speaker 4: Sorry, but so.
Speaker 1: Now, if you have an iPhone and you want to
Speaker 1: really secure your logins to Google, go ahead and set
Speaker 1: up what's called the Google smart Lock app on iOS,
Speaker 1: and it uses your built in security on the iPhone,
Speaker 1: which is called the Secure Enclave to store your information.
Speaker 1: And the bottom line is when your phone is in
Speaker 1: bluetooth range of your computer that you're logging in to
Speaker 1: Google on, it will pop up a little thing on
Speaker 1: your phone that says, hey, is this you and you
Speaker 1: can say yes or no. And the reason why it's
Speaker 1: more secure is because the there is this thing right
Speaker 1: now where you can use your where I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've logged into Google anytime recently, but a lot
Speaker 1: of times instead of now texting you a code, it
Speaker 1: will say open the Gmail app on your phone and
Speaker 1: approve this login. So you've been able to do that
Speaker 1: for a while now, but that that little approval process
Speaker 1: still has to go through the internet, where this new
Speaker 1: bluetooth thing is all proximity, so it handshakes. It's very
Speaker 1: it's it's basically very good security. So if you want
Speaker 1: the best security, set up your iPhone as a two
Speaker 1: factor authenticate or a I guess a physical key for
Speaker 1: your Google stuff. I know it sounds very complicated, but
Speaker 1: just no, but that's just it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a Google account.
Speaker 1: You want the most security for your stuff, right, you
Speaker 1: want to you want to keep those tech talks private?
Speaker 4: Yep, Oh that's not it.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: One of these days. It's only been what seventy episode?
Speaker 2: Yeah, now like you should really I should probably understanding it.
Speaker 4: But we'll just you know, cor ight, I stop it?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, man?
Speaker 2: All right? So this next question comes from Louise. Actually
Speaker 2: that's some of our photographer.
Speaker 1: Is this coming from inside? The emails are coming from inside?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is from R. Louis.
Speaker 1: Let me read it to me and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: in a second. If this comes from Marlowis.
Speaker 3: He wrote this on your Facebook page. So he wrote,
Speaker 3: good morning, mister Demiro. I just saw an app called
Speaker 3: drive Mode. Have you seen it?
Speaker 2: And do you recommend it?
Speaker 1: It does sound like Carlouise.
Speaker 2: It does sound like Carluise.
Speaker 1: Could be all right, So drive Mode it is. Let's see.
Speaker 1: It's founded in twenty fourteen by entrepreneurs from Zipcar and Tesla,
Speaker 1: and it's a hands free messaging and calling app. It
Speaker 1: looks like it's for Android only. Now, there are two
Speaker 1: drive mode apps though there is one from drive mode
Speaker 1: dot Com. Then there's AT and T drive Mode, So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which one he's referring to, but I
Speaker 1: wonder if AT and T drive Mode is a version
Speaker 1: of drive Mode. But either way, these apps are meant
Speaker 1: to help help you use your phone while you're in
Speaker 1: the car and do things like messages, calls, and also music.
Speaker 1: So do you need this? I would say probably not
Speaker 1: if you have an Android phone because it's only available
Speaker 1: for Android. If he's talking about Android, then I would say,
Speaker 1: don't worry about this app because you can use Android Auto.
Speaker 1: That's what I would use. Now. The thing about Google
Speaker 1: is that they are actually getting rid of the standalone
Speaker 1: Android Auto app and just making Android Auto a part
Speaker 1: of Google Assistant. So I think at this point, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if that's happened yet, but there will come
Speaker 1: a point in time when you basically say, like hey, Google,
Speaker 1: let's drive, and it will turn your phone into a
Speaker 1: miracle of driving companion. Wow. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: the case just yet. They previewed it io last year
Speaker 1: in May, and Google takes a really long time to
Speaker 1: like actually implement things for some reason anyway, So I
Speaker 1: would recommend that, I would recommend trying Android Auto first.
Speaker 1: But drive Mode the app, just looking at it seems fine.
Speaker 1: It was last updated. This how I size up apps.
Speaker 1: It was last updated January ninth, twenty twenty, which means
Speaker 1: it's actively being updated. The only thing is there are
Speaker 1: in app products offered at two ninety nine to three
Speaker 1: ninety nine per item, which I'm guessing some of the
Speaker 1: best features you probably have to pay for, which Android
Speaker 1: Auto probably gives.
Speaker 4: You for free, so don't even so I.
Speaker 1: Would try Android Auto first, Luise, and then if that
Speaker 1: doesn't work for you, go and do drive Mode. So okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's my advice.
Speaker 2: Cool questions.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about fippit.
Speaker 2: You just threw a piece of paper.
Speaker 1: Fippit is releasing a new feature to their monitors or
Speaker 1: their you know whatever you call them, fippit activity trackers,
Speaker 1: activity trackers, and smart watches. This is blood oxygen monitoring.
Speaker 1: And if you have an issue with sleep, apnea or snoring,
Speaker 1: or a breathing issue like asthma, this is really really fantastic.
Speaker 1: And here's the weird thing. Fipbit devices have had the
Speaker 1: these blood oxygen monitors on them for like two years now,
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen, they just have not been activated. So
Speaker 1: this feature is not something that you need to go
Speaker 1: buy a new device for. You just have to get
Speaker 1: it activated through your software update.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1: This is kind of nice. When do you get something
Speaker 1: for freight? So the devices that have this currently getting
Speaker 1: activated are the Fitbit Ionic, which is a smart watch,
Speaker 1: the Versa which is another type of smart watch, and
Speaker 1: the Charge three Fitness Tracker, which is pretty much their
Speaker 1: most recent one of their most recent models of their
Speaker 1: fitness tracker. So look for it in your app like
Speaker 1: go and make sure you do like the software update
Speaker 1: the firmware update on your device and if you have
Speaker 1: this feature, it's kind of cool. Now, most people with
Speaker 1: blood oxygen it's usually like ninety eight percent to one
Speaker 1: hundred most of the time. Have you ever taken your
Speaker 1: oxygen level? No, it's like a little thing. If you
Speaker 1: have asthma, it's very important.
Speaker 2: I use I mean I had childhood as Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: So you don't remember having to take it like a
Speaker 1: little finger monitor where they put your finger in like
Speaker 1: a little thing that looks like.
Speaker 4: Et Yeah, monitors your Yeah, that sounds familiar.
Speaker 1: And so it's it's basically that feature but built into
Speaker 1: the back side of the watch. And I'm not going
Speaker 1: to go into how they're figuring out, but it's kind
Speaker 1: of cool. It's useful, really cool, and it's just one
Speaker 1: more thing to have. Uh. The Apple Watch does not
Speaker 1: have this just yet, and so Fitbit's a little ahead
Speaker 1: of the game here.
Speaker 2: What was I gonna say? They kind of the fipbits
Speaker 2: the newer.
Speaker 4: Ones look like they look like the Apple Watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are they cheaper?
Speaker 1: I think. I was actually almost going to buy one
Speaker 1: the other day. It was like, because I had these,
Speaker 1: I had the fippit. Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Know, but you want to test it.
Speaker 1: I like to test and I wanted to kind of
Speaker 1: see because I had the Fipbit Versa when it first
Speaker 1: came out and I've loved it. It was great. The
Speaker 1: software is just a sore point to me because it's
Speaker 1: just not as good as the Apple Watch, and the
Speaker 1: Apple Watch has a lot of apps that are available
Speaker 1: to it, so almost anything I do. Like, my kids
Speaker 1: were watching Apple TV the other night and on my
Speaker 1: Apple Watch, the show they were watching, the name comes
Speaker 1: up the title and The best part was I can
Speaker 1: pause it right for my watch. So I'm like, kids,
Speaker 1: time to brush your teeth, and like, no, no, And
Speaker 1: I just went in my bedroom and I just tapped
Speaker 1: my watch and I went to pause, and they're like,
Speaker 1: what just happened? How did that pause? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not telling you crying. Yeah, And so
Speaker 1: it was great. So anyway, so there's a lot of
Speaker 1: If you have an iPhone, there's a lot of ways
Speaker 1: that the Apple Watch sinks to it and works with it.
Speaker 1: But if you have Android, I think the verses are great.
Speaker 1: And you know that Google bought or is buying fipp it,
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be Yeah, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of improvements with fippit in the upcoming year. Or Google
Speaker 1: will just run them into the ground like they do
Speaker 1: with a lot of other companies.
Speaker 2: We'll say, oh, okay, really, oh yeah, what they do?
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of these companies they absorbed these little companies. No, no,
Speaker 1: they don't want to get rid of They buy them
Speaker 1: with the best intentions, and then they figure out that
Speaker 1: like just everything has to be dismantled and it ends
Speaker 1: up being like a team buyer. They just bought the
Speaker 1: employees that were.
Speaker 2: Intental sue, and Sue they fire, Yeah.
Speaker 1: They fire everyone else. Say like, I'm not saying this
Speaker 1: is gonna happen, but it's it's just like over and
Speaker 1: over we've seen these large tech companies acquire a company
Speaker 1: and say, oh, we're gonna build all this stuff, We're
Speaker 1: going to all the synergy, and it never comes to fruition. Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's it, Sonia, go ahead, Megan, all right, So
Speaker 1: enough of my complaining. I know. Wow.
Speaker 3: This next question comes from Amy. I have my stepmom's
Speaker 3: computer that never allowed her to upgrade to Windows ten
Speaker 3: when it was telling her to do so. Now that
Speaker 3: the time is here for non support, she is in
Speaker 3: a panic thinking she can't use the computer after January twentieth.
Speaker 3: Is this really true or is it just that she
Speaker 3: won't get any supporter updates anymore for Windows?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Good question. This is in response to Windows seven
Speaker 1: being I don't know if the term is depreciated or
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, but it's no longer
Speaker 1: being actively supported by Microsoft. And what that means is
Speaker 1: they are no longer going to put out security updates
Speaker 1: or software updates for this program and It's been around
Speaker 1: for a long time. I think it launched back in
Speaker 1: like two thousand and nine. It's had a good run.
Speaker 1: People loved it. People are very hesitant to upgrade to
Speaker 1: Windows eight was like a non starter, Like nobody got
Speaker 1: Windows eight, so there was no Windows nine. And Windows
Speaker 1: ten came out to kind of clear up all the issues,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people were hesitant because Windows ten
Speaker 1: was very different from Windows seven, So a lot of
Speaker 1: people did not upgrade. There was a time when it
Speaker 1: was like I think three years where you could upgrade
Speaker 1: for free, and a lot of people were just like, no,
Speaker 1: this works for me. Everything's working. I don't need to upgrade.
Speaker 1: And now you're talking ten years later since Windows seven
Speaker 1: came out, people are kind of like, uh, okay, now
Speaker 1: what So to answer the question, things don't go away.
Speaker 1: It doesn't stop working. But what it does is it
Speaker 1: puts you at a security risk because now when the
Speaker 1: bad guys find an exploit on Windows seven and they
Speaker 1: want to use it to their advantage, Microsoft is not
Speaker 1: going to come.
Speaker 4: To your rescue and making hack the computer.
Speaker 1: Basically, now, I'm not saying that's happening today or that's
Speaker 1: even gonna happen tomorrow, but it's a very big put possibility.
Speaker 1: And what happens is, let's say you're a company. You're
Speaker 1: running a whole bunch of computers running Windows seven. The
Speaker 1: bad guys find some sort of exploit. Now they're targeting
Speaker 1: machines around the world, and your machines are part of
Speaker 1: that target group because they're not running the latest software.
Speaker 1: And there there's a hole basically on that machine when
Speaker 1: it comes to the security, and so they go for
Speaker 1: that hole to try to get into your network or
Speaker 1: to whatever. And so you don't want that to be you.
Speaker 1: So my advice number one is, if you are going
Speaker 1: to continue using this computer, things are going to still
Speaker 1: work just like they did yesterday. It's just that you're
Speaker 1: not going to get updates. And so I would be
Speaker 1: very careful browsing the web. Make sure you're not downloading
Speaker 1: random things that could put you at risk, or clicking
Speaker 1: weird attachments and links and stuff. That's number one. That's
Speaker 1: very basic. I mean, that's like you can't really protect
Speaker 1: yourself just doing that. Second thing is you probably want
Speaker 1: to upgrade your computer to the latest Windows ten software
Speaker 1: or get a new computer completely. And I know it's like, oh, rich,
Speaker 1: just buy a new computer, no big deals. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: go out and toss the old one.
Speaker 2: Go get a versa watch or whatever. Just always getting
Speaker 2: a new tech item.
Speaker 1: So that's my recommendation. There is Uh, there was some
Speaker 1: talk online about a way to still get a free
Speaker 1: Windows ten upgrade, and I think if you Google, you'll
Speaker 1: probably find some blogs that explain how to still do that.
Speaker 1: Apparently Windows forgot to conveniently forgot to turn off one
Speaker 1: of these little like links that lets you get a
Speaker 1: free copy of Windows ten, and apparently people are still
Speaker 1: using that link. So if you google free Windows ten upgrade,
Speaker 1: you can see how people are using that. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's illegal. It's just like I think Microsoft is
Speaker 1: like slyly letting people still upgrade.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so she could upgrade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I can't guarantee it. Microsoft's official
Speaker 1: stance is that you can pay one thirty nine to upgrade,
Speaker 1: or you can purchase a new computer. If your computer
Speaker 1: is three years old or older, they say they recommend
Speaker 1: a new computer. Okay, So that's that's the party line,
Speaker 1: got it? Now? Speaking of well, I should say apropos
Speaker 1: to nothing.
Speaker 2: Okay, that term, I'm gonna assume it means like connected
Speaker 2: to the stories.
Speaker 1: Not connected to the story apropos of nothing so random, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Just going in a new direction, okay, new tangent.
Speaker 1: Verizon has launched a new search engine called one Search,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you're just ready to flock to.
Speaker 2: Using this, but I already downloaded it.
Speaker 1: It is kind of unique. It's called one search dot
Speaker 1: com and it's totally private. That's their party line, so
Speaker 1: totally private. No cookies, no retargeting, no personal profiling, which
Speaker 1: means like Megan does not have a profile on this
Speaker 1: site that when you go to that site, then I'll say, oh,
Speaker 1: Meghan's back and she's searching for more beauty products. Whatever. Wow,
Speaker 1: what does Megan search for her?
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
Speaker 1: No sharing of personal data with advertisers, no storing of
Speaker 1: user search history, unbiased and unfiltered search results. You know
Speaker 1: that when you search Google, you bring with you everything
Speaker 1: you've ever done with Google to the page. So when
Speaker 1: you search for let's just say, you know, an app, okay,
Speaker 1: it may know that you use an iPhone and put
Speaker 1: the iPhone version of the app higher up on those results.
Speaker 1: Now I'm just giving that as an example. Or it
Speaker 1: may be that when you search, Megan keeps bracing herself.
Speaker 2: Every time you speak, I brace myself.
Speaker 1: It's pretty typicult. But so like, let's say it knows
Speaker 1: that you live in Los Angeles when you search for
Speaker 1: a restaurant name, and let's say there's that same restaurant
Speaker 1: name in Austin.
Speaker 2: They're not going to show me Austin because they're like,
Speaker 2: you live in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: You live in Los Angeles. You live in that fancy neighborhood. Yep,
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills. You live in that mansion in
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. Now here's the thing that's kind of interesting
Speaker 1: about this. They have something called Advanced Privacy Mode, which
Speaker 1: is on by default. And this is the interesting thing.
Speaker 1: So your searches are encrypted, but so are your thanks
Speaker 1: to these searches. So let's say you search.
Speaker 2: For something, Okay, I search Rich Demurro.
Speaker 1: Let's say you do your daily search for Rich Demurro
Speaker 1: on your computer, right, and I'm like, hey, Megan, can
Speaker 1: I borrow your laptop to go search for something? And
Speaker 1: I go and I'm like, let me see what Megan
Speaker 1: was searching for? In her history, and I go to
Speaker 1: your history and it says one search, one search. It's
Speaker 1: called one search, one search, one search, one search, and
Speaker 1: I click those links to see what your search results.
Speaker 1: Nothing comes up. They expire after an hour. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. So yeah, okay, so let me give
Speaker 1: you a real world example exactly. Let's say you're searching
Speaker 1: for wedding rings because you want to propose to your
Speaker 1: your boyfriend finally, right after all these years he refused
Speaker 1: to propose, he refuses to pop the questions. You're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just going to go ahead and
Speaker 1: do it. It's been a week, it's the two twenties
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's been a week of dating. It's time to get married.
Speaker 1: It's the twenty twenties. We met on Tinder. It's time
Speaker 1: to just make this real. Okay, Oh my god, I'm
Speaker 1: just giving real world examples here that you can understand.
Speaker 2: No, I know.
Speaker 1: So you search wedding rings wedding rings, and then your
Speaker 1: boyfriend comes home, he uses the computer we live together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well he's just coming over, yeah to Friday nights whatever,
Speaker 1: And he goes onto your one search and he clicks
Speaker 1: that link and nothing comes up, so boom. That's a
Speaker 1: real world example of like it just it just brings
Speaker 1: him to the homepage.
Speaker 2: But if I wanted him to see it, I would
Speaker 2: stay on Google.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would use Google for sure, and you would
Speaker 1: leave like you know, a couple links open and like
Speaker 1: something minimumier pictures and all that stuff. So anyway, so
Speaker 1: kind of interesting, that makes sense, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: so there it is one search dot com if you
Speaker 1: want to search more private search.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just okay, I just I think I can.
Speaker 2: I like to ask the question.
Speaker 3: Okay, So this next question comes from bamb I'm getting
Speaker 3: into digitizing and then imprenth this us. She says, embroidery
Speaker 3: designs for sewing machines and was informed that a single
Speaker 3: function digitizing monitor will eventually be required. Have you done
Speaker 3: any research on this type of equipment?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, I have not.
Speaker 3: And then she goes on to say, the Yanova MVP
Speaker 3: to zero you something is what's recommended.
Speaker 1: And you just bought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to just get this morning. I ordered it.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if it's worth the money and whether or
Speaker 2: not it is plug and play into a USB port
Speaker 2: on my current computer.
Speaker 1: Okay, I I just I'll just give this. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what Bambi is talking design?
Speaker 2: What is sewing machine?
Speaker 1: What is the thing? Give me the model number. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna look it up for Okay MVP.
Speaker 3: Well, Yanova MVP two zero, ukay plus f E plus
Speaker 3: f E.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I guess she's like, yeah, like.
Speaker 1: A secret like f nod to me, all right, what
Speaker 1: is it? This?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: This a three dollars full HD tablet monitor, Mac and
Speaker 1: Windows Hdmi plus USB port, ready to use with Yanova
Speaker 1: Cloud PC. I don't know. I just don't even know.
Speaker 2: So is this for like she draws a picture, it
Speaker 2: looks like that's exactly what she wants and then she
Speaker 2: can embroider it on.
Speaker 1: That's what I think it is. Yeah, thank you for
Speaker 1: really cool for breaking that down, Megan. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I think it looks like it's USB compatible.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's also Hdmi compatible. But it looks
Speaker 1: like you have to use some sort of cloud PC
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a program that you plug this into. Interesting,
Speaker 1: but again, this is like a little bit, you.
Speaker 2: Know, it's not it's a it's above your pay grade.
Speaker 1: It's above my pay grade. And so that's yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: we really knocked knocked that one out of the park.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, like I.
Speaker 1: Just I okay, So good question.
Speaker 2: Should I ask another one?
Speaker 1: Sure? Go ahead?
Speaker 2: Okay, So this next question comes from Okay, I'm not
Speaker 2: actually not gonna ask you. These questions are not sorry, I.
Speaker 1: Told the light.
Speaker 2: These are from just like your expression right now is
Speaker 2: really funny. Okay, This next question is from Richard. I
Speaker 2: am Richard, My I am, My wife is Nancy, and
Speaker 2: I watch your segment on Fox six Milwaukee. We just
Speaker 2: received our first cell phone this last Christmas. Magan, you
Speaker 2: are disrespecting I'm not from our daughters.
Speaker 3: About fifteen years ago, we purchased a thirty inch JVC
Speaker 3: I art television.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's what TV.
Speaker 2: Okay, I know it is, obviously, he says television.
Speaker 3: As time went on, we decided that when the JVC dies,
Speaker 3: we would upgrade to a larger flat screen. We are
Speaker 3: starting to believe the JVC will outlast us both.
Speaker 1: Oh god, this really took a dark time.
Speaker 2: My question for you is what is the best TV
Speaker 2: for us to get?
Speaker 1: Now? I get one with like a three year lifespan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then say that they want like potentially like
Speaker 2: a sixty five inch, and that Samsung is the best
Speaker 2: brand for most people.
Speaker 1: Okay, Richard and Nancy and Nancy, I okay, so a
Speaker 1: couple things. Yes, it's time to upgrade. If you have
Speaker 1: a thirty inch JVC that you've been rocking for fifteen years,
Speaker 1: go ahead. And I think it's time to spring for
Speaker 1: the upgrade.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And so I will say, yes, Samsung is a very
Speaker 1: good TV, very good brand. And if you want a
Speaker 1: good picture quality, go with Samsung. It's a very Samsung's
Speaker 1: go on sale a lot. They have a good deals.
Speaker 1: Like everyone knows Samsung, so they they saw a lot
Speaker 1: and people when you go into the store, it's easy
Speaker 1: for the best buy guy to recommend Samsung because they
Speaker 1: know it. Right.
Speaker 2: I know what you're gonna recommend, though, what go ahead, You're.
Speaker 3: Gonna recommend the TCL with roqu six series.
Speaker 2: That's a sixty five inch.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: It's about five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: So that's why I recommend. I don't even have to
Speaker 1: do this job anymore. I will walk out and Megan,
Speaker 1: you can do the rest of the podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, So here's the door.
Speaker 1: But I agree, and I will tell you that I. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I and this is why I don't just talk
Speaker 1: about this stuff. I actually do this stuff. I actually
Speaker 1: try this stuff out. So I bought two TVs recently.
Speaker 1: One TCL actually got the five series for my mom, okay,
Speaker 1: and so I bought that one and then had the Roku.
Speaker 1: And then I bought the Visio for myself, and I
Speaker 1: bought the video is just a cheap o model at
Speaker 1: Costco for the kids. And I will tell you I
Speaker 1: set both up and I was much more impressed with
Speaker 1: the TCL from the quality of the device, like how
Speaker 1: it physically looked and felt, to also the software. And
Speaker 1: I just feel like now I'm fully invested in recommending
Speaker 1: the TCL.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you wasted your money on the video?
Speaker 1: No, it's fine. The video is fine for the kids.
Speaker 1: For the kids, like if their eyes go bad because
Speaker 1: they're watching a terrible TV, it's fine. Yeah. No, I
Speaker 1: will say, but the picture quality on both these TVs
Speaker 1: is pale in comparison to the Sony's or the Samsung's
Speaker 1: or the LG's and I did run into my power.
Speaker 1: David Katzmeyer of cnet. He reviews all the TVs for
Speaker 1: them at CS and he, you know, basically tried to
Speaker 1: look away because obviously we used to work together. And
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't want to be bothered.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: But I did stop him and I was like, David,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's up, Bud. I'm like, what TV would
Speaker 1: you buy if you had one chance to buy TV?
Speaker 1: And he's like, dude, LG without hesitation LG OLED And
Speaker 1: I said, wow, over the Sony OLEDs. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: if you want price and performance, that's what I recommend.
Speaker 1: So he probably had no idea he'd be quoted in
Speaker 1: one of the top tech podcasts of the world in
Speaker 1: this podcast Wow.
Speaker 2: But now he's famous.
Speaker 1: And now he is well, and that's so anyway, So
Speaker 1: I'd recommend the TCL if you want a good price TV,
Speaker 1: and he recommends the LG O lead if you want
Speaker 1: like the best, and the LGO lead is it's like
Speaker 1: twelve ninety nine maybe or seventeen.
Speaker 2: Exactly what it is on Target.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Megan, that's why, that's why, that's why I'm standing now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why you get to stay and I get
Speaker 3: to go. Well, I also googled it and I knew
Speaker 3: the price is from searching it.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Google. Google at CS announced a more
Speaker 1: helpful Google Assistant, So several new features you should be
Speaker 1: aware of. If you have one of these Google assistants
Speaker 1: in your phone, in your home, in your displays a
Speaker 1: new feature which I cannot wait for. It is called
Speaker 1: scheduled actions. Later this year, you'll be able to just
Speaker 1: ask Google, Hey, Google, run the coffee maker at six am.
Speaker 1: How great is that? Wow? So I do this thing.
Speaker 1: Every night. I turn on my lights in my bedroom.
Speaker 2: Like at a like the like the disco lights, its light.
Speaker 1: No, like on the night stands. Every night I turn
Speaker 1: those on and every night I put them to a
Speaker 1: certain level or whatever so I can read before I
Speaker 1: go to bed. And how nice would it be if
Speaker 1: just every night Google turned them on at five pm
Speaker 1: when I go to sleep.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Okay, so cool.
Speaker 1: So that's one example. The other example is I also
Speaker 1: turn on my kitchen lights every day at a certain
Speaker 1: time when I come home.
Speaker 4: What I just know, it's just.
Speaker 1: So every day I have to say, hey, Google, turn
Speaker 1: on the kitchen lights, and it turns on the lights.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I do is I'm
Speaker 1: doing now is I'm asking Google when I get home
Speaker 1: to turn on the living room chrome cast, which shows
Speaker 1: my pictures on my big screen.
Speaker 2: So I just think it's so funny. How many things?
Speaker 1: What do you do when you come home?
Speaker 3: I literally just like eat food and then I cry, No,
Speaker 3: I don't like think about putting my pictures on my TV.
Speaker 1: Sorry, So these are the things that I do. So
Speaker 1: my point is Google has imagined these scenarios, and they say,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be cool if I can just know every
Speaker 1: day the chrome cast comes on at two pm and
Speaker 1: the chrome Cast turns on the TV. So anyway, these
Speaker 1: are all kind of cool things. So now you'll be
Speaker 1: able to do that with Google, and clearly I have
Speaker 1: lots of good ideas for this company. Second thing, household notes.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a sticky note, but on your
Speaker 1: smart display. So we've talked about the Google Home Hub.
Speaker 1: Like these displays that let you do all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Now you can say, or soon you be able to say, hey, Google,
Speaker 1: leave a note that says I already fed the dog,
Speaker 1: and it'll display as like a sticky note on your display.
Speaker 2: That's actually helpful.
Speaker 1: Isn't that cool? Yeah? So that's it. Another thing is
Speaker 1: long form content. So if you've ever had one of
Speaker 1: these apps, or if you've ever heard a robotic voice
Speaker 1: read you the news, it's terrible. And there's a reason
Speaker 1: why people like me are hanging on to jobs that
Speaker 1: we have for as long as humanly possible, right.
Speaker 4: Because we can I thought you were a robot.
Speaker 1: No not no, ideally, ideally, if I can pop my
Speaker 1: brain out in the future, they talk about being able
Speaker 1: to take your brain out of your body and putting
Speaker 1: it into a robot so you can live forever. Wow,
Speaker 1: you never thought about that possibility.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that they saved Walt Disney's brain.
Speaker 1: Did they? Or is that just a Snopes thing? Look
Speaker 1: it up on Snopes, you know Snopes, snopes dot com.
Speaker 2: It's not like all the theories.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like all the crazy things that like people wonder.
Speaker 1: Look up the Google Snopes Walt Disney. I bet you
Speaker 1: he wasn't preserved like they said he was. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so now Google says they are so good at reading
Speaker 1: that they can make things, even long articles, sound more natural,
Speaker 1: so you can actually listen to them without wanting to
Speaker 1: pull your eyeballs and ears off your face because it
Speaker 1: sounds normal. Have you ever heard of robotic voice? Try
Speaker 1: to read you something? It's really terrible. No. So now
Speaker 1: you're soon gonna be able to say, while you're looking
Speaker 1: at a news article on your Android phone, hey Google,
Speaker 1: read this, and it will start to read you that page. Wow,
Speaker 1: which is great for the hearing or the visual impaired.
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool, but also for just anyone, like
Speaker 1: if you're just like you know, at home and you
Speaker 1: just don't feel like reading something, you just say, Hey,
Speaker 1: read this to me. That's another thing, And the other
Speaker 1: one is privacy. Two new voice privacy controls. You can
Speaker 1: now say hey, Google, that wasn't for you, and Google
Speaker 1: will automatically forget what you just said. Like you know,
Speaker 1: you ever see you don't have Google at home, but
Speaker 1: sometimes it pops springs to life when you say something yeah,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you'll see the light and
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?
Speaker 4: Google, Slow your role, I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 1: So you say, hey, Google, that wasn't for you, and
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm sorry, I'll just send that right to
Speaker 1: the authorities. No, just kidding, but it'll kind of forget
Speaker 1: that you just you know that even you just get it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the other one is, uh, hey Google, are
Speaker 1: you saving my audio data? And it will tell you
Speaker 1: more about your privacy controls and go to your setting
Speaker 1: screen to change your preferences. So, I you know, people
Speaker 1: want to want to paint Google as this evil company that's,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to collect everything about You're right, they
Speaker 1: probably are possibly right, But at the same time you
Speaker 1: I think that they are in twenty twenty and twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen doing some things to kind of be a little
Speaker 1: bit more forward when it comes to the data they're
Speaker 1: collecting and help people control that data. So yeah, rest assured.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 3: This next question is from fram end hi Rich. My
Speaker 3: question is about the new air pods pro. Me and
Speaker 3: my husband bought a pair each and loved them at first,
Speaker 3: but started having issues with them soon after. It seems
Speaker 3: like the left pod is not charging.
Speaker 2: How is that possible? The right pod is one hundred
Speaker 2: percent and the left is zero percent. Wait, so they.
Speaker 3: Each have a pair and both pairs are having issues.
Speaker 2: Is that a thing?
Speaker 1: Do they say? AirPods pro? Yeah, this is the thing.
Speaker 1: It's a thing. It's the AirPods Pro have had a
Speaker 1: a rocky start, And did you buy yours the first
Speaker 1: ding you got regular as I got Regular Air? Have
Speaker 1: you had any problems with them? No?
Speaker 4: Love them?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But my aunt just returned to hers yesterday. I think
Speaker 3: there were a pro though, And I'm like, I'm convinced
Speaker 3: of the pro why would you, I would never return.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, it's amazing. Yeah, so uh, I yes,
Speaker 1: I will agree that there have been a lot of
Speaker 1: issues with the AirPods pro In fact, I have experienced
Speaker 1: this issue where for a while, well one of my
Speaker 1: AirPods was at one hundred percent and one was at zero,
Speaker 1: and I was like, is this something in the charger?
Speaker 1: Is it whatever? So what I did was and what
Speaker 1: I've recommended is unpair these from your device and then
Speaker 1: repair them. So you go into settings and like forget
Speaker 1: about them and then repair them. And that seems to
Speaker 1: like connect and fix the things.
Speaker 2: How often do you have to do that?
Speaker 1: Like once, I did do it once, But I did
Speaker 1: do it once, and it did fix the issue for me. Now,
Speaker 1: notice I've been having other issues with some connection issues,
Speaker 1: like on my Apple Watch when I was running it,
Speaker 1: it's been all over the place, like it'll just stop
Speaker 1: working like the AirPods Pro, like they'll just stop putting
Speaker 1: music out, and I'd have to go into my Apple
Speaker 1: Watch and switch the modes. So they have like this
Speaker 1: transparency mode and then off and then noise canceling. I
Speaker 1: think those are the three, and I have to just
Speaker 1: toggle the modes to get the things to work again.
Speaker 1: So you can try that if you're having problems. But
Speaker 1: I think I was reading an article today and I
Speaker 1: saw that they had some firmware updates for the AirPods
Speaker 1: Pro that kind of like didn't work as well, and
Speaker 1: so I think there was some issues that they're correcting.
Speaker 1: So like Apple's ever going to tweet and be like
Speaker 1: we've noticed you've been having issues, Like, but the other
Speaker 1: thing is going to go yeah and like just put
Speaker 1: out a software update and you know, next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: you just think you're crazy because like maybe I was
Speaker 1: the only one. Yeah, when you come on a show
Speaker 1: like this and you realize you're not the only one framed,
Speaker 1: You're not the.
Speaker 2: Only worry do sad music. Okay, don't worry.
Speaker 1: I need a tiny You're just like you. I need
Speaker 1: a tiny violin.
Speaker 2: Except I didn't buy the really expensive AirPods I got
Speaker 2: the cheap ones.
Speaker 1: Oh let me there we go.
Speaker 2: Oh the world's smallest violin.
Speaker 1: That's for you, Framandy.
Speaker 2: It is really annoying though, Oh yeah, these little problems
Speaker 2: that people run into.
Speaker 1: And this is why people love shows like ours, Megan,
Speaker 1: is because you feel that tight community of knowing I
Speaker 1: am not alone in this world. Yep, I can go
Speaker 1: to Rich and to a lesser extent, Megan and talk
Speaker 1: about my prob whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: And that's that's why these things exist, because you don't
Speaker 1: want to feel like you're alone. And and with tech stuff,
Speaker 1: it is super frustrating. And look what go aheadhead speak,
Speaker 1: speak your mind, speak your mind.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: No no, no, go.
Speaker 4: Ahead, no no no.
Speaker 2: I mean, like I was, you said something about like
Speaker 2: you don't want to feel like you're alone, which is
Speaker 2: why I'm on the podcast too, because if Rich was
Speaker 2: talking to himself, it kind of depressing.
Speaker 1: That's the rest of my day. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: move on. HP article out of well, actually this was
Speaker 1: sort of originated from CNBC, which got their info from
Speaker 1: a Morgan Stanley analyst, which said HP might be moving
Speaker 1: away from their Razor slash Blade model for printers because
Speaker 1: guess what, twenty percent of customers don't print enough ink
Speaker 1: or even buy enough or print or buy enough ink
Speaker 1: to be profitable. So the whole idea behind these inkjet
Speaker 1: printers from HP. You've probably seen them. You see them
Speaker 1: at Best Buy for fifty bucks. You're like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. I should buy a new printer. Next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, your ink runs out and you go to
Speaker 1: buy a new ink and it's sixty bucks. It's fifty
Speaker 1: five dollars for a cartridge. And you're like, oh, let
Speaker 1: me check Costco and it's fifty two dollars and it's
Speaker 1: it's wild, and so you what do you end up doing?
Speaker 2: You end up putting water.
Speaker 1: That was my idea. I don't think you can do that,
Speaker 1: but that would be funny.
Speaker 2: Try that. Your printer would probably crack.
Speaker 1: Open the thing. Just put a little water, like a
Speaker 1: little droplet of water, like.
Speaker 2: I want expensive?
Speaker 1: Like what is because they were doing the razor blade model.
Speaker 1: When you buy a razor, you buy the razor.
Speaker 2: Always buy a new razor, do you really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't buy a new blade, are you kidding? No?
Speaker 2: I buy like a new blade, I buy.
Speaker 1: It disposable razor.
Speaker 2: What they're all disposable?
Speaker 1: Oh well the handle is not.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I like I literally just by anyone.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, clearly not all of us are that rich
Speaker 1: that we can just buy no.
Speaker 2: I also, okay, we're not getting into this conversation.
Speaker 1: Okay, Anyway, the ink carter is here's the problem. So
Speaker 1: so the the article says that HP might be lowering
Speaker 1: the price of its ink cartridges. But here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: The initial price of the printer is gonna go off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that's fine for most people though, because
Speaker 1: once you rather have the printer be more expensive and
Speaker 1: then the replacement cartridges be cheaper over the years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Of course, I don't know about you, but for me
Speaker 1: with my printer, I don't have an ink jet. I
Speaker 1: have a laser printer, a laser.
Speaker 4: Jet that I've had.
Speaker 1: I've had a laser printer for so long now, and
Speaker 1: it is super expensive. When the printer. The difference, well,
Speaker 1: laser is like uses toner oh instead of ink, and
Speaker 1: so it like heats up a drum that pushes the
Speaker 1: that that this is like you know when you put
Speaker 1: your finger like a wet finger on toner. It doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't smudge. When you put a wet finger on Inkjet,
Speaker 1: it'll smudge most of the time. That's I you can
Speaker 1: always tell if it was you know, Wow, And Inkjet
Speaker 1: uses a little tiny dots this season anyway, So whenever
Speaker 1: I buy my laser toner, it is so expensive. In fact,
Speaker 1: the last time I bought it, I went to Office
Speaker 1: Depot and the cartridge was literally twenty dollars more on
Speaker 1: there versus Amazon, and I felt so bad. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to give business to my local business,
Speaker 1: but they're actually ripping people off by selling these things
Speaker 1: at such a high cost. But they have to because
Speaker 1: they have a big store and they've got people at
Speaker 1: work there, and it is sad, and it's like, how
Speaker 1: are they going to compete in the future. I had
Speaker 1: the Inkjet toner or the toner on my doorstep the
Speaker 1: next day from Amazon, and I felt I never felt
Speaker 1: so bad in my life because I specifically went to
Speaker 1: Office Depot to try to be nice.
Speaker 2: Is this what you talk about in therapy.
Speaker 1: I don't have a therapist, but if I did, it's
Speaker 1: me they would Yeah, this show is my therapy. Wow.
Speaker 2: That is crazy, But I have.
Speaker 1: Nothing against therapists. If you think you need one, get
Speaker 1: it and get that help you need. I probably should
Speaker 1: have one, but I have this show as my outbum
Speaker 1: No I think. Yeah, anyway, is that the end of
Speaker 1: the show? Are we going to end it on such a
Speaker 1: sad note? It is?
Speaker 2: We have one more question?
Speaker 1: Nope, you want to Is it a good question? I'll
Speaker 1: give you time for one more question if it's super
Speaker 1: good and I can answer it quickly. It's kind of okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: is it a good one?
Speaker 2: It's not like the best, but I'm still gonna ask.
Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 2: This is from Dawn.
Speaker 3: I have a need to send a text message to
Speaker 3: an email account. There's been someone sending me over the
Speaker 3: top messages and I've been letting it go and go,
Speaker 3: and now it's escalated to defamatory comments, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Are you speaking in the third person? Is this you? Megan?
Speaker 2: Of apps?
Speaker 3: That I can send a string of text messages too
Speaker 3: on my Gmail account?
Speaker 2: Thanks?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think with this one, I actually had
Speaker 1: to look in uh and see what because with with iPhone,
Speaker 1: I would tell you're basically out of luck, like there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of apps that can download your message
Speaker 1: are but they're like paid and they're very complicated, and
Speaker 1: it's not as easy. It's just like downloading stuff on Android.
Speaker 1: It's super easy. You can download a million apps that
Speaker 1: will give you access to your text messages and download them.
Speaker 1: And so there's a couple apps that i'd recommend. Number one,
Speaker 1: there's an app called SMS Backup and Restore, which is
Speaker 1: like the gold standard. A lot of people use it
Speaker 1: to just back up their texts and so you can
Speaker 1: do that. But the app that I recommended to Don
Speaker 1: is one that I haven't tried before, but it seems
Speaker 1: to do all the things that he wants. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just imagine that this is actually Don and not
Speaker 1: you asking me, Megan. But I found SMS Backup, Print
Speaker 1: and Restore, Export pdf, HDML and CSV and so pdf,
Speaker 1: I mean export. You're super easy. You install the app
Speaker 1: and you download your stuff as a PDF. And it
Speaker 1: was updated back in December. It has one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: installs and four thousand reviews. Oh cool, And I believe
Speaker 1: that Don actually wrote me to tell me that this
Speaker 1: worked for him, so, oh did he? I think that
Speaker 1: was the I think this is this is ringing a bell.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so that's what I recommend.
Speaker 2: I just want to know what these messages.
Speaker 1: I know, I kind of want to know. Now I
Speaker 1: will tell you this is account hacked. No, I think
Speaker 1: that the I think that what happened was someone was
Speaker 1: sending him mean stuff and that's what happened with Don.
Speaker 1: I don't know Don, but you know what can happen.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. A lot of people email me
Speaker 1: and they want to wedge me in between some sort
Speaker 1: of legal thing, and I usually stay out of it
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be like, oh, rich On
Speaker 1: Tuck told me that you know, and here how did
Speaker 1: you get these messages? Rich On tech like. So usually
Speaker 1: if you email me and it's a meritable spat or
Speaker 1: some sort of like you know, if it's something that
Speaker 1: I feel like needs to go to the authorities, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll forward your email. But you, oh, that has not happened, thankfully. No,
Speaker 1: Actually that's not true. I do get a lot of
Speaker 1: I do get a lot of.
Speaker 3: Weird emails, like end of marriage from giving a suggestion
Speaker 3: of like.
Speaker 1: That wasn't because of my email, No, it was something
Speaker 1: from your book someone wrote me and said that my
Speaker 1: book and ruined their marriage. Can we talk about I
Speaker 1: don't even.
Speaker 2: Know if you can say, don't you say it in
Speaker 2: the book?
Speaker 1: Maybe I know, I think I said no. I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I think you just like, yeah, totally all right, Megan,
