00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: producer Megan, who is doing this podcast with a mask

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: on even though we're on video chat. Welcome to the show, Megan.

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: You know, I just love wearing my mask everywhere. I

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: just have to.

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: I went from my first run in a mask yesterday

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that bad. It was I stopped kind

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: of running outside because I don't want to deal with

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: the looks. So I I said, you.

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Know, what do you feel like you were getting? Look?

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: I got one guy who I was passing who would

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: give me like the cross symbol, you know, like I

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: was the devil, and so that was enough. I got

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: that twice from him and no.

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Are you kidding kidding?

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: That actually happened.

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that actually happened, so I you know, but I

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: so I counted because you know, my wife and I

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: went on a walk with the kids, and I'm like,

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: should we have these on? Should we not? Now I'm

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: still unclear if you have to because they said you

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: have to have masks whenever you leave your house. But

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: it's still very like like the documentation is not clear.

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I was counting, like the amount of people.

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: This was the day before he said you always have

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: to have masks, you know. Yeah, so I would say

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: it's about when I was running, it was about fifty

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: percent of people, like maybe even last maybe thirty percent

37
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: that had them on. But now I guess everyone is

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: in LA. I'm not really sure. So how are you doing.

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: I'm good. You know.

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: I have a cotton mask which like it's I got

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: it on like at sea, and it's totally like bradable,

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: So like I like that I have that when I

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: go outside because it's not like super uncomfortable like the

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: medical masks are.

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I was.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Using saran wrap and it just seemed like that's probably

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: not a good idea. It definitely it protects you.

48
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds really uncomfortable.

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: It was it was. Yeah, So I did my run

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: and I actually did not think it was that bad.

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: It was. It's not ideal, and but you know, it's

52
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, So how weird is this? So

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: last night I had a dream that we had an earthquake.

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: And I never dreamed about earthquakes. I don't really think

55
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: about them or care about them. But I just happen

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: to have a dream. And the other part about the

57
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: dream is that I was in Las Vegas, Like I

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: was in like a casino with like a bunch of

59
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: friends and like whatever, and we were woken up by

60
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: this earthquake. And then when I wake up, the first

61
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: story I see is that there was like a huge

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: earthquake in on the border of like whatever, California and Nevada.

63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's strange.

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: Oh crazy? Are you predicting the future?

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm gonna I'm gonna see if

66
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I can remember my dream tonight, and maybe it'll be

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: some lottery numbers. All right, let's get make that happen.

68
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: Let's get into the first story of the week. Amazon

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: has some new fire tablets, and it's interesting how many

70
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: tech products have come out during the quarantine. And I

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: guess a lot of these were in the pipeline and

72
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: it's they come at a good time because people are

73
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: at home, we need technology, and tablets are very very

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: popular right now. So three new tablets. So, and they're

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: not brand new, they're just kind of building upon what

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: they've already had. But this is kind of their I

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: would say, this is let's see, I'm gonna see if

78
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: this is kind of their middle line or you know,

79
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: cause they Amazon. I would say all of their tablets

80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: are pretty budget friendly, but they have some that are

81
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: super duper cheap and some that are not so cheap.

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: So I think these are right about in the middle. Yeah.

83
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: So there's the fire seven, which is like their basic

84
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: basic tablet for fifty dollars. Then you have the fire

85
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: HD eight, and then the ten is kind of their

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: flagship one. So these are the eight. So Fire HD

87
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: eight has an eight inch display, faster performance with two

88
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: gigabytes a RAM instead of one, Oh my gosh, or

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: thirty percent faster, I don't know. It says thirty percent

90
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: faster with two gigs. That means I'm guessing the old

91
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: one used to have one. That's really sad. Two times

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: the expandable storage with up to one terabyte via a

93
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: micro SD card, twelve hours of battery life. And the

94
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: big thing I think that they changed here is the

95
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: USB C. It used to come with micro USB, which

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: is the older version of charging, and USB C is

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: much more modern. And this is only ninety dollars, which

98
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: is pretty good for a tablet. Now. I generally do

99
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: not recommend this tablet because it is so bare, it's

100
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: so basic. It's kind of like it's not very good.

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: Then they have the but we'll see I have not

102
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: tested this recently. Then they have the fire HD eight plus.

103
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: This is kind of the same thing as before, except

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: you get wireless charging and kind of nice right to have.

105
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I personally don't think you need wireless charging on a

106
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: tablet because you just plug it in. Tablets usually last

107
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, but there you go. And that

108
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: one's one hundred and nine dollars one hundred and ten,

109
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: so twenty more dollars for wireless charging. If you're gonna

110
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: get this, I would say, I don't even think you

111
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: need that. I would say just skip it if you're

112
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: gonna go with that. And then finally they have a

113
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: fire HD eight Kids Edition which includes one year of

114
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: Amazon Free Time Unlimited, a new kid proof case with

115
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: a stand, which is cool, and then a two year

116
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: worry free guarantee which means that if your kid breaks this,

117
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: you can easily just get another one, which is kind

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: of nice. And so again I did put a request

119
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: out to Amazon to get these tablets in because I

120
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: feel like it's been a while since I did anything

121
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: with these tablets and I kind of want to see

122
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: what the deal is with them. And so I think

123
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a story on these three tablets just

124
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: to kind of give them the once over and see

125
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: what the deal is. Because the kids one is one forty,

126
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: the other one's one ten, and the basic one is ninety.

127
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: And I still overall think that you're if you're buying

128
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: a tablet, you are one best served with the entry

129
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: level iPad just because of what you get on it.

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, all the apps, all the features, the Apple ecosystem,

131
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: so so.

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: You you will not be buying I.

133
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: Will not be. In fact, I did buy a couple

134
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: of years ago. I bought these tablets for my kids,

135
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: and I returned them the next day because they were

136
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: such a value. But they just the kids didn't like them.

137
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: They they kept doing things wrong on them. That just

138
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: wasn't the app selection that you get on the iPad.

139
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: The iPad is more money, but you get way more

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: out of it, so cheaper is not always better.

141
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, So our first question today comes from Anna simply,

142
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: how can you tell if a website is a true

143
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: retail website?

144
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Is true true retail website? You mean, like she means

145
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: like legitimate retail website.

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm guessing I'm assuming that's what she means. Yeah, like

147
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: it's a legit store online store.

148
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I I don't know that. Yeah,

149
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good question because you kind of

150
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: just it's like you kind of know, right you look

151
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: at it and you kind of know if you see Okay,

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: So I'll give you some of my thoughts on this

153
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: because a lot of times I get questions about things

154
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: that are selling online and you can tell they're own websites. Okay.

155
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: Number one giveaway that you don't want to order from

156
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: that website is if it has like a flashing bar

157
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: with like a countdown to like, if you get off

158
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: this website, you are going to lose that deal. That's

159
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: number one.

160
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, yeah.

161
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, Amazon does actually do that, which is

162
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of funny because they do with their lightning deals,

163
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: but not to the way that these random websites will

164
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: do it. So if you see that, I would I

165
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: would walk away. Number two, If you see any sort

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: of pop ups like all over the place with like

167
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: codes on them and like just just a lot of

168
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: pop ups like the high the high pressure sales tactics,

169
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: if you see that, get away. That's it's just not

170
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: going to be a legit website. You don't want to

171
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: order from a web get this deal right now, exactly right,

172
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: because they know that they somehow got you to that

173
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: website in a shady way, and now they don't want

174
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: you to leave from that website without purchasing. Does that

175
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: make sense?

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

177
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: And the other the other thing I always do and

178
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: not that. Look, I don't really order from random websites.

179
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: I kind of order from Amazon, from best Buy, from Target,

180
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: from Walmart. And I did order something the other day

181
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: from Oxo dot com, which is you do you know that brand?

182
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: It's like the kitchen supplies, It's like they're, you know,

183
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: fancy kitchen supplies. So I cut my finger on a

184
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: on a can the other day, and so I need

185
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: a new can opener because that's like the third time

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: I cut myself on this can opener. So I said,

187
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: no more, I'm going back to this old can opener.

188
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: And I had to order it directly from the website

189
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: because no other store had it in stock. And you know,

190
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: you know that's a legit website because it's a big company.

191
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: So those are the ways. I also look for contact information,

192
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: So at the bottom, if you can't find an address,

193
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: a physical address, a physical email address. And also if

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: people aren't linking to the website, it's probably not legit.

195
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: If they don't have an Instagram presence or a Twitter

196
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: presence or a Facebook presence, or you click on those

197
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: links and they bring you nowhere, that means that they

198
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: just went to WordPress, they downloaded a template and they

199
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: forgot to put in or at the end it's like

200
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: the yeah, this is the biggest giveaway. If you go

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the website and the it's literally

202
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: still the word Press template, like they forgot to fill

203
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: in their Instagram or fill in their Twitter, and it's

204
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: still such a sampler demo. So those are the kind

205
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: of things that I would look out for.

206
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've been on Instagram before and I'll get

207
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: ads and I'll like click the ad because it looks

208
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: like a cute dress. And then I go to the

209
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: Instagram account and there's like five followers and like it's

210
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: just sketchy. It's like where did this come from? Like

211
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: is it actually? I don't know who knows if it's

212
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: real or not.

213
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: But I and I see both sides because I don't

214
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: want to put someone like let's say, Megan, you started

215
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: making something and selling it on Etsy, or I don't

216
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: want to put you at a disadvantage because a small

217
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: business has to start somewhere. But I feel like there

218
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: are telltale signs and like you said, you probably used

219
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: your common sense when it came to looking at that,

220
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: saying I don't know, this is just someone that didn't

221
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: add by on Instagram and not much more. And who

222
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: knows if I'm ever going to see this dress. If

223
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: you have some Nest cameras in your house, they are

224
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: changing your subscription or they're asking you to change your subscription.

225
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to be forced

226
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: on you or if eventually you'll have to switch over

227
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: what but now it's called nest Aware, and this is

228
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: something that Google announced last year, actually in about October,

229
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: I believe it was at their event in New York City.

230
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: And it's kind of cool. So some people are gonna

231
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: actually win in this scenario, other people might not, depending

232
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: on how many cameras you have. I think in my

233
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: case it comes out to be cheaper with their new

234
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: subscription than it did for what I was paying before.

235
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: So instead of paying per camera, now any device you

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: have in your house is all covered by one price

237
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: per month. So you can do a six dollars a

238
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: month subscription or sixty dollars a year, which saves you

239
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: six times twelve of seventy two versus. So you can

240
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: save two dollars a month or dollar a month by

241
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: going for the yearly, which most people probably would, or

242
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: you can just go monthly. Sometimes people like monthly because

243
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: it's just easier to budget that way. Six bucks, you know,

244
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: that's so much it costs. So the new nest Aware

245
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: comes with thirty days of event video history. Now let

246
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: me explain the difference here. Now, the new thing is

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: you can pay more, So you can pay twelve dollars

248
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: a month, which is double or one hundred and twenty

249
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: for the year and get ten days of history or sorry,

250
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: the sixty days of event history and twenty four to

251
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: seven video. So let me break this down for you.

252
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: What they're doing here is they're kind of making the

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: default where your camera is not continuously recording anymore. It

254
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: is now looking for motion, and once it sees motion,

255
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: that's when it will start recording a clip and sending

256
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: it to you. What does that mean? That saves Google

257
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of money because they're not recording millions

258
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: and millions of cameras twenty four to seven three sixty five.

259
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Only people who pay extra will get that twenty four

260
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: to seven recording history. And I would say for a

261
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: majority of people, they probably don't need the twenty four

262
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: to seven recording history unless you're running a business operation

263
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: out of your home right or a business operation in general,

264
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: because if someone walks past your house, it you know,

265
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: it triggers the clip, It will record the clip and

266
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: then you have the clip of the person. Most of

267
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: the time you don't need the full twenty four to

268
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: seven So.

269
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: I mean you don't need the still the like this

270
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: ill shots. Anyways, if there's nothing going on.

271
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, basically, And I think the way that these

272
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: cameras work is I think they are recording, well maybe not,

273
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm curious if they're still recording to

274
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: the cloud twenty four to seven but not actually giving

275
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: it to you unless you get that little clip, you know,

276
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: or unless you pay for the extra amount. But the

277
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: bottom line is for ninety nine percent of people, this

278
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: is probably gonna save them some money, and on Google's

279
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: back end, it saves them a lot of money. The

280
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: other thing is that, let's see, I mean, that's basically it.

281
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: They're going to send you a clip a notification to

282
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: your phone when something happens. So they send you an

283
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: alert and it says if you prefer twenty four to

284
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: seven continuous recording, then you have to go to the

285
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: Nest Aware Plus, which is that expensive one. Now here's

286
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: the other thing that I think is kind of cool,

287
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: and they talked about this at the event as well.

288
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: They are now turning all those Nest speakers, like you

289
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: know that little Google Home that you have one of

290
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: those kind of things, or the Nest Display, They're turning

291
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: those into almost a security system because now those are

292
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: going to listen for critical sounds like a smoke alarm

293
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: or glass breaking. So if you have one of these

294
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: speakers in your home, you now have a kind of

295
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: a little security system in a.

296
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Or if you have just the Google Wi Fi, it'll

297
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: listen that one.

298
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, because Google Wi Fi does have Google

299
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Assistant built in, and it does have it has microphones, right, yeah, yeah,

300
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: because you can use Google Assistant on it.

301
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, you can talk to it.

302
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. So I guess that probably would be

303
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: a part of it. It says it says Nest speakers

304
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: and displays, So I'm not sure if the Google Nest

305
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Wi Fi is included in that because it's not necessarily

306
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: a speaker or a display, but it does function that way.

307
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: But that's a good question. Now, the other thing they're

308
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: going to do is you can call nine one one

309
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: from the app. So let's say you're vacationing in Florida.

310
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: You get a little alert that there is glass breakage

311
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: in your room with your you know, Google Home. You

312
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: can open up the app from the alert and it

313
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: will dial nine one one in the LA area where

314
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: you live. Not you know, if you just dialed nine

315
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: one on your smartphone in Florida, it would rout you

316
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: to you know, Tampa or wherever you are. So that's

317
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: kind of a cool thing, too smart.

318
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: That's really cool. That's really cool.

319
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: Now, the big caveat to all this, and some people

320
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: might not like this, is that you have to let's see,

321
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: if you are an existing Nesta ware subscription, you can

322
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: upgrade to the new version through the Google Store. Keep

323
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: in mind that you have to migrate to the Google

324
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: account if you haven't done so already. You also have

325
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: the option to keep your current subscription if you choose.

326
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: So I need to actually switch to the new subscription

327
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: because I checked my price and it was more to

328
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: keep my subscription than to go to this new one.

329
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: So I'll definitely be doing that. Save me some money

330
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: for the year.

331
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.

332
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: Okay, This next question comes from Rick. Good afternoon, Rich.

333
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: Have you tried the Wi Fi Blast product?

334
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Oh, that's kind of like what we were just talking

335
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: about with the Nest. I have not tried the Wi

336
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Fi Blaster. It sounds like it would work really well.

337
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot of questions about this device, so

338
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: clearly a lot of Clearly, a lot of people are

339
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: seeing this ad. I'm looking at this. I actually just

340
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: it must be called Wi Fi Blast because I just

341
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: googled it and Wi Fi Blastered is not. Oh here,

342
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: it is Wi Fi Blast. Okay, So now.

343
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,359
Speaker 2: Two point six rating on Amazon.

344
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: Well okay, so now where are you seeing that? Okay?

345
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: Wi Fi Blast? Okay, I see that, but like, where

346
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: is this website? That's okay? So now if you okay,

347
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I see it on Groupon. I see Better Business Bureau.

348
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: So I think that this this is an example of

349
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: what the earlier the earlier question was talking about, how

350
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: do you know a legit website? So here's here's the

351
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Wi Fi Wi Fi Blast seems to be used by

352
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different companies to describe a Wi Fi extender,

353
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: and for that reason, I don't trust it and I

354
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: don't like it, and I'm looking number one, I don't

355
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: really recommend Wi Fi extenders anymore because they just don't

356
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: really work. This one, in particular, I'm finding a whole

357
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: bunch of different ones that all look similar, but they're

358
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: all sold by different companies. So for that reason, I

359
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: would say stay away from the Wi Fi Blaster.

360
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: And if you yeah, it seems sketchy.

361
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you need to. If you need to get

362
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: an extender versus a full new Wi Fi system, which

363
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: I would recommend, I'd recommend EO, Google, Nest Wi Fi

364
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: or neck your Orbi. If you don't want to splurge

365
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: on that, I would say AMP. Look at AMPED Wireless.

366
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: They make a lot of these things, and I have

367
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: tried them in the past. They are legit, they do work.

368
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: It's actually a local company, I believe, in the LA area.

369
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: But the problem with these Wi Fi extenders is that

370
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: they take a signal that's not very good to begin with,

371
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: and they kind of boomerang it around your house, and

372
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: so you're just taking a signal it's not very good

373
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: and you're moving it around, Whereas the way that the

374
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: mesh systems work is they're taking a signal and they're

375
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: actually working in unison to create a better signal throughout

376
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: your home. So that's the big difference with these things,

377
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's why i'd recommend going with the legit new system.

378
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: I know it costs more, but I'm telling you you

379
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: will get Even if this Wi Fi blaster was forty bucks,

380
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: you're kind of wasting that forty dollars because you could

381
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: put that forty dollars towards a new system that would

382
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: give you what you're paying for it when it comes

383
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: to your WiFi, let me tell you about the secret

384
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: X ray capabilities of the one plus eight Pro smartphone.

385
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: This was such a fun story. I love technology. I

386
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: love when technology is fun. I love when it's exciting.

387
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: I love when it's interesting. I did a review of

388
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: the one plus eight pro smartphone, which I do believe

389
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: right now is the best Android smartphone on the market

390
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: right now, And in fact, I wanted to switch to

391
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: this phone. It doesn't have one fee, Meghan that I want.

392
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: That is well, two things that are keeping me from switching.

393
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: Number one my Apple Watch.

394
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: I I, oh no, yeah, that's that's like part of you.

395
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. It is so it's so tough to

396
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: go without an Apple Watch.

397
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: I just I think I might literally get one, like

398
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: this weekend.

399
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Okay, you really should. No, I mean, once you experience it,

400
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: it is so tough to I will give you one example. Okay,

401
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: So I you know, I've been at home, so I've

402
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, I've been trying different phones and seeing whatever.

403
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: So I was on the one plus for a while

404
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: and Lindsey. My wife kept yelling at me, saying, like,

405
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: what why is your phone going off all day?

406
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: Like?

407
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: She realized that she just kept hearing notifications all day long,

408
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: and I told her, she goes, who is texting you

409
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: all day? I said, it's not that anyone's texting me

410
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: more now than ever before. You just never heard any

411
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: of my notifications on my phone because guess what. Everything

412
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: always went to my wrist and my watch would vibrate

413
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: when I got a notification. I haven't heard a sound

414
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: on my phone in five years since I got.

415
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: The Apple Watch.

416
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: It always goes to my watch. I never have the

417
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: sound on on my phone. I never have ever since

418
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: the watch, because you don't need it now. In general,

419
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: I never had the sound on because I work at

420
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: a TV station where you don't want your phone ringing

421
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: in the middle of a newscast. But so anyway, so

422
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: she was like, what is the deal? So just that

423
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: little thing alone where I was adjusting the volume. So

424
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: I'd go to sleep, I'd have to turn the volume off.

425
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: I'd wake up, Oh, let me turn the volume on.

426
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: I'd be outside, Oh, I can't hear my phone, let

427
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: me come inside. I missed a notification that feature alone

428
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: of the Apple Watch. It's weird because it was oddly

429
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: satisfying to be disconnected from my notifications all day long

430
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: when I was using an Android. But it also like

431
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: is stressful too, because like if my mom calls or

432
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: someone calls, I can just literally answer right on my wrist,

433
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: like if I'm outside in the yard with the kids.

434
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: So anyway, then the other thing about the one plus

435
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: was the it does not as far as I know,

436
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: you can't plug an external microphone into it with the

437
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: onboard camera app. And for me, you know that I

438
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: record a lot of stuff. I need that feature and

439
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: it does work, and an external microphone on the one

440
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: plus eight Pro does work with the voice recording program,

441
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: so I know it works to plug in a microphone.

442
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: It just does not work with their camera program. And

443
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: so I asked them, hey, are you going to add this?

444
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: And they were under the impression that they were going

445
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: to add it. But there's been a couple updates. There's

446
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: actually a new update now which I'm going to test

447
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: it out on and see. But I still don't think

448
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: I could switch, just because of the whole watch thing. AnyWho.

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: That's just to set up this cool feature that people

450
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: have seemed to discovered, which is the X ray vision

451
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: on the one. Plus they've got an extra lens in there,

452
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: a color lens that I guess either filters out IR

453
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: light or doesn't feature filter infra red light. I'm not

454
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: an expert in this field, but all I know is

455
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: that it can see through certain plastics. And you saw

456
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: the video, Megan, and yeah, would you think, I.

457
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: Just can't believe that that's pop ball. So it can.

458
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: Basically, it's like an X ray machine, not an X

459
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: ray machine, but it can see through technology, right, Yeah.

460
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: It was.

461
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 1: It was mostly plastic that was that looked it was.

462
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: It's mostly plastic that kind of looks like it's black,

463
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: but it's really not. It's kind of like if you can,

464
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, if you can see further, you see that

465
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of more plastic is not. It's semi translucent,

466
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: I guess. So the best thing I tried to know

467
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: was the Amazon Fire TV and the Amazon Fire TV remote.

468
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: I try it on a Nintendo switch. I try it

469
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: on my toaster, which was the scariest look ever, because

470
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: your toaster looks like it's off, but then you aim

471
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: this IR camera at it and it is so hot

472
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: and like it's like on fire. Yes, I mean, it's

473
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: just wild. And then of course everyone asked if it

474
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: works through clothes, and I had to this is embarrassing,

475
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: but I had to drag Lindsay. I was like, Lenn,

476
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna have to help me test this out.

477
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: And I tried it unclosed.

478
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: It shouldn't have gone on the street and just like

479
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 3: gone up to people.

480
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: Well it was also like six am, so I like

481
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of had to wake her up.

482
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: So, oh my god, it's not annoying.

483
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, not at all. It doesn't. It does not

484
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: work on close, but one one of the YouTubers did

485
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: find that it does work on close if you have

486
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: he put like a like a an apple like an

487
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: iPhone box underneath like his T shirt, and like if

488
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: he held it really tight next to the box and

489
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: then he did the thing on it, it did see

490
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: through it a little bit. So I'm hoping that one

491
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: plus does not get rid of this feature because it's

492
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of fun.

493
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: So huh.

494
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's any like weird thing that's going

495
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: to come out about that feature though, like someone figures

496
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 3: out like, oh, you can.

497
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 2: I don't know.

498
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh I know. I'm sure people are because like

499
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: the Verge, we did our thing two days ago. The

500
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: Verge just did it today. So it's still being like

501
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: it's still percolating, like it has really reached mainstream media

502
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: just yet except on KTLA. But you know, it'll it'll

503
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: probably take I you know, Megan, I always say this,

504
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: how mainstream media, you know, like the stuff I see

505
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: in the tech world, it bubbles up in mainstream and

506
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: probably like three days after I see it, or maybe

507
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: up to a week. So this is one of those

508
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: examples of I feel like it's gonna take a little

509
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: bit to percolate, but it will get there. One plus

510
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: is not a house.

511
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: Some after some famous actors gonna like do something of

512
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: it with it, and then everyone's.

513
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: Gonna be like, oh wow, that's such a cool feature.

514
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: Like Rich found it two.

515
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Weeks ago, brah Bro, we were on this.

516
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't even know.

517
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: No, But I was not the flaet. I did not

518
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: find it. I saw it. I saw someone who posted

519
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: it I think on either Twitter or Reddit, who saw

520
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: it on Reddit, So either way it was I was

521
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: not the originator. I just I just found I just

522
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: did it, and you know saw how cool it was.

523
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: Isn't there an app for that?

524
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: Uh? Not yet?

525
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: Not? Yeah?

526
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So next question comes from Susie. I

527
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: was wondering if you happen to know of an alert

528
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: device for a senior citizen, something that they could wear

529
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 3: on their wrist. I know they have necklaces or something

530
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: like that, but my stepmother doesn't want a necklace. She

531
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 3: wants something that you can wear on her wrist, like

532
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: a watch. She fell on Saturday night and no one

533
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 3: was around. I thought maybe you were a great source

534
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: to go for something like this.

535
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Susie.

536
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: It's a good question, and the immediate thing that comes

537
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: to mind is obviously the Apple Watch, and the Apple

538
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: Watch would be perfect for this situation. If you get

539
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: the generation four or five, it will have this functionality

540
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: built in, which is sort of life alert functionality. But

541
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch requires an iPhone and it also requires

542
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch, which is expensive. But I would say,

543
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: no matter what any of these other systems that you're getting,

544
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: I think that the Apple Watch would actually be cheaper

545
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: over time. Now you don't need the Apple Watch to

546
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: have cellular capability because okay, so is it her mom?

547
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: She said, let's see senior citizens just say stepmother. Oh, stepmother. Okay,

548
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know if she but she says she's

549
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: living alone, right yeah, yeah, no, Oh she fell Saturday

550
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: night and no one was around.

551
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

552
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: So it leads me to believe that either she was

553
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: home alone, or she lives home alone. I don't know,

554
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: or she lives at a nursing home and maybe you know,

555
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: there's no one around and that's you know, I don't know.

556
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that could happen though. Wouldn't you be

557
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: at a nursing home to have people around all the time.

558
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: So I think the Apple Watch would be the best

559
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: case scenario. I don't know if the stepmother uses an

560
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: iPhone or not, but if she does, that's the no,

561
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: no brainer thing to do. As soon as you put

562
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: in her date of birth on that Apple Watch when

563
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: you set it up, if she's over I believe sixty

564
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: five or sixty, it will say do you want the

565
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: fall or enabled? Otherwise you can just enable that. I

566
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: think that's the best way to do. I've only had

567
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: the fall alert on my watch activate once when my

568
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: kid I forget it wasn't like he hit me, but

569
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: he I think we were wrestling or something and my

570
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: arm hit the ground really hard and it did alert,

571
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: and it was like we're calling the nine to one

572
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: one in five four three. I'm like oo, but I

573
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: thought it was really cool that it worked.

574
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

575
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: It takes a pretty it takes a pretty rough hit

576
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: for it to activate. But it's not just a rough hit.

577
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: It's it's it's algorithms that they've developed that that can

578
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: detect a fall. So it's not necessarily just if you

579
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: just hit your arm really hard on a table it's

580
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: going to do it. It's they've done a bunch of

581
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: falls with people and recorded that and then came up

582
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: with an algorithm it decides like, this is a fall,

583
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: this could be a fall, and this could be a fall.

584
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: That could be a fall because not everyone falls the

585
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: same exact way. In fact, you may fall and your

586
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: arm maybe the last thing to hit because of the

587
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: way you fell, so you may your arm may not

588
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: hit that hard because the rest of your body absorbed it.

589
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: So it really comes down to the algorithms anyway. So

590
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: the other things that I would recommend looking into is

591
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: obviously life Alert is the big one. There's something called

592
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Medical Guardian, which I don't I don't think any of

593
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: them have as good of a system as Apple, but

594
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: they're more dedicated to the elderly. That's the other thing.

595
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: But all these systems are going to cost money to

596
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: buy the product and also the service. And I think

597
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: the other one is doesn't isn't Jitterbug? Isn't that like

598
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: the local company that does the flip phones, Great Call,

599
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: so I think they have. They're based out of Carlsbad. Yes,

600
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: so they have they have family caregiving services. Let's see

601
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: what do they have? Yeah, but most of these Oh,

602
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: they do have a watch? Hold on. Oh they have

603
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: the Lively wearable too, but I don't know if it

604
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: detects falls. Let's see, this is from great Call dot com.

605
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Does it respond to falls? Oh, it does have fall detection.

606
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: There you go fifty bucks? Now how much do you have? Oh?

607
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: But hold on, you have to have it. You have

608
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: to have it. You have to have an Android or iPhone.

609
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: So if you're going to spend fifty on this, I

610
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: would say go the extra mile and probably just get

611
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: the Apple Watch because you're also going to have to

612
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: buy a service contract. Or a service from them. I'm

613
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: guessing every month, Yeah, twenty five dollars a month. Oh,

614
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: fall detection is forty dollars a month. Megan. That's that's

615
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: basically included with the.

616
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 2: Apple Watch at.

617
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: The Apple Watch. Yeah, that's that's what I say to do. Yeah,

618
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: So have you been spending more or less money since

619
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: you've been cooped up at home? Megan?

620
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: Less?

621
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: But I feel like it was like nothing and then

622
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: suddenly I was like, it's time to shop again.

623
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: So that's yeah, less overall.

624
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: Less overall, I would say less. And now, given this

625
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: is a very privileged conversation we're having right now because

626
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: we both have our jobs. Yeah, thankfully. I know many

627
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: people have been impacted by this pandemic, and it is

628
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: just it's insane actually, how many people have lost their job,

629
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: are underemployed, are not employed, want to work, can't work.

630
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many situations right now that are outstanding.

631
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: So we are very fortunate right now. So when I

632
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: talk about this story, it's coming from a place of

633
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, there are people that still need to work, shop, play, eat, whatever.

634
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: So this is the Adobe Digital Economy Index, and this

635
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: is from Adobe Analytics you know, I love Adobe Analytics

636
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: because they always come out. They kind of monitor a

637
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: bunch of receipts and online transactions around the web to

638
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: come up with all these data points that I just

639
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: love because they have great data. So Number one key

640
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: finding online shopping has become the primary means of commerce

641
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: during COVID nineteen. I mean, duh, who doesn't know that?

642
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: The analysis found that by online pick up in stores

643
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: orders serge two hundred and eight percent year over year

644
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: in April. Did you have you done that yet where

645
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: you bought something online and picked it up in the

646
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: store or at the store. Yeah, yeah, me too, Best Buy.

647
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: Let's see what else? Us digital purchase power I thought

648
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: was cool, grew four point one percent, which means consumers

649
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: can now get for one hundred dollars what used to

650
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: cost them one hundred and four dollars last year. So

651
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Oh wow, I don't know what

652
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: that means. Yeah, it's a lot. Let's see online prices

653
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: for apparel dropped by twelve percent, which is the largest

654
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: April price drop in five years. Now, that's bittersweet because

655
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: nobody's buying clothes, That's why the prices are dropping. Who's

656
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: buying new clothes right now? Nobody. I'll tell you what

657
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: they are buying. According to the report, what is it?

658
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: Workout close, Yes, workout clothes. That's not on here, but

659
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I know they are. But pajamas up by one hundred

660
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: and forty three percent, pants fell by thirteen percent, jackets

661
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: by thirty three percent. Electronics are up.

662
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: What is it, sweatsuit?

663
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, sweatsuits. The sweatsuit is back. Electronics sales are up

664
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent, which makes a lot of sense because

665
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: everyone's outfitting their home offices. And electronics prices actually went up,

666
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: which is true because if you look at some of

667
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: these things like the uh, if you look at some

668
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: of these things like the people hold on, people are

669
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: saying they can't hear us, but I don't know if

670
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: that's true. If you look at things like the webcams,

671
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: those have those you can't even get so those are

672
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: really expensive. Yeah, So that's that's another one. Now here's

673
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: my favorite, and maybe oh, online grocery shopping one hundred

674
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: and ten percent boost, which I could see that we've

675
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: still been going to the grocery store, but we've also

676
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: been buying stuff online as well. So the final noteworthy

677
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: finding is that e commerce purchases of wine, beer spirits,

678
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: and accessories like wineglasses and corkscrews saw a seventy four

679
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: percent increase in April as consumers look for ways to

680
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: wind down, kickback and relax. And you are actually working

681
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: on a story right now with subscription wine. Did you

682
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: get a chance to break into those yet?

683
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: We're going to do it tonight.

684
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: So tonight is the big wine party at the mcdonaga house.

685
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: We shot some beer roll the other day with Louise,

686
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,479
Speaker 3: and Louise wanted us to like open up a can

687
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: of one of the wine, so I did it.

688
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: Can wait, this is canned wine.

689
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: Canned wine? What? Yeah? It comes in the company way, comes.

690
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: In a can and each can is one point five glasses.

691
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: What okay? That's actually kind of cool. So if you

692
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: just want like a little bit at the end of

693
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: the day or something.

694
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the company when you order, like your first order,

695
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: they send you this wasn't just for me because it

696
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 3: was pressed.

697
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: I like looked it up. I was like, why did

698
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 2: I get this? They send you like a called No,

699
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: what's the thing you wear around your waist like a

700
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 2: like a purse pack?

701
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: Fanny pack, fanny pack for the cans of wine with

702
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: a with a little tiny like sound system.

703
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really funny.

704
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's unique. Okay, that's definitely aimed at a

705
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: certain intel.

706
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but you know, but yeah, it was good,

707
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: very cool.

708
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that. That should air soon. I'm looking

709
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: forward to that story. So we did a story. I've

710
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: realized one thing, we hardly ever talk about the stories

711
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: that we actually cover on KTLA here on the podcast,

712
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: and I need to do a better job of remembering

713
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: some of those stories. So this was one that I

714
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: got a ton of emails about. This is the wise

715
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: Remember this camera they made? Are this company? They make

716
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: the twenty dollars security camera you heard me talk about

717
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: on this podcast. They did a story on KTLA back

718
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: in like twenty seventeen. This company, which is a bunch

719
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: of X or at least a couple x Amazon folks,

720
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: they came out with a twenty dollars security camera. And

721
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: when they came out with that, people could not believe

722
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: that a security camera could be twenty dollars. So of

723
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: course there's all these conspiracy theories that all your video

724
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: is being sent to China and all this crazy stuff.

725
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: But the reality is is just a really good deal.

726
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: And this company has continued to innovate in a very

727
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: cool way, but in a very cheap way. So everything

728
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: that they have is way cheaper than what you would

729
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: pay if you got it from another company. And so

730
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: now they have two new devices that I tested out.

731
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: One is a twenty five dollars activity tracker called the

732
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: Wyse Band, and the other thing is a twenty dollars

733
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: scale called the Wyse Scale. Now, when I took this

734
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: y scale out of the box, a lot of times

735
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: people when they send me stuff, I don't really look

736
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: at all the details. I kind of know, like I

737
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: saw that this was really cheap, and I was like,

738
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: oh that's cool, And I was actually more interested in

739
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: the activity tracker, not the scale. So when they sent both,

740
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: I really didn't even know how much the scale was.

741
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: I set it up, I was like, oh my gosh,

742
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: this is so cool. It gives you all of your

743
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: information when you stand on it, like your body mass,

744
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: your you know, your muscle mass, your bone body water,

745
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: your bone mass, your metabolic age and all this, like

746
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: all these metrics which I thought was really cool, and

747
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: I was like, this thing is pretty cool, but it's

748
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 1: probably like sixty bucks. It's kind of a tough sell

749
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: because you know, we've had our same scale for twenty years. Right. Well,

750
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: when I found out the scale is twenty dollars, game changer.

751
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that is a that is it is insane,

752
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: Like I don't even understand how they can make a

753
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: scale for that cheap. And it's a really nice scale.

754
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: You saw the video on it. It's it's like a

755
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: good looking scale and you don't have to tap to

756
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: activate it. Do you have one of these like electronic

757
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: scales or no?

758
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: No, we have like an old school scale from like

759
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: the seventeen hundred.

760
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: You like slide the thing? Is that that kind that

761
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: old school? Or yeah?

762
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: I like it?

763
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 3: Like some days it's like it's nice, it's really you're like,

764
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: oh okay, that's how much I weigh, and then other

765
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 3: days it's like someone messed with it. I don't know,

766
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 3: but yeah, yes we have a.

767
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: Scale, but it's old. But it's old, so maybe I need.

768
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: This and it's really cool. It works with up to

769
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: eight people in your home and you just have to

770
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: step on it. You don't have to like ours, You

771
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: have to tap. You have to wait for it to initialize.

772
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: It takes a little bit. You got to say if

773
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: your user one or two this you just go ahead

774
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: and stand on it and it figures out who you

775
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: are and you'll have to turn it on. You have

776
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: to turn it off. All the data is synced to

777
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 1: your phone. You don't have to have your phone open

778
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: to use it. You can, you know, you can have

779
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: your phone open and then it'll sink the back data

780
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: once you open your phone back. It's really cool. So

781
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with that. Why scale and then

782
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: whyse banned? This is a simple activity tracker with Alexa

783
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: built in, and this one is This is just if

784
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: you want to get your ten thousand steps right. It's basic,

785
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: but it does a lot of stuff. You've got Alexa

786
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: built in, you've got your step tracker, you've got a

787
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: run keeper. There is no GPS on board, so if

788
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: you're a true runner, you probably want something with GPS

789
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: built in. But again it's so cheap, attracts your sleep.

790
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: I found that the screen was not as responsive as

791
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: I'd like, but again twenty five dollars. This is for

792
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: someone that just wants to make sure they're getting ten

793
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: thousand steps a day, plus getting a couple things extra

794
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: if you want the next closest device. This also does

795
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: your heart rate. By the way, the closest fitbit to

796
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: this device is about seventy to seventy five dollars, so

797
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: that's a significant savings. That's a third of the price. Now,

798
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: the problem with both of these devices is that they're

799
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: really tough to get, just like the camera back in

800
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: the day. So when I did the story on the

801
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: security camera, the number one thing I got back from

802
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: people was that I can't buy this. It's not available.

803
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened with these two products. They're

804
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: just really tough to get because they make a couple

805
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: of them and then they sell out, and they make

806
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: some more and they sell out. So just get on

807
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: that list and that's the best you can do.

808
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking now, I'll to see once the scale is.

809
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: I think they have one available.

810
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: So do they really?

811
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: So it tells you your like body mass and how

812
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: much water.

813
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh everything, Megan, I'm telling you, when.

814
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 2: I know, I don't understand, Like how does it it just.

815
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: Reads your blood or your your I don't know it

816
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: like reads your It's like electric it sends I'm guessing

817
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: it sends an electro electrostatic current through your body through

818
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: your feet just to be barefoot when you go on it,

819
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: and it just that's how it reads, like all the

820
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: different metrics in your body and it the metrics are

821
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: quite impressive. I mean, it really is everything you need,

822
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: like if you want it to lose weight, if you

823
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: want it to gain muscle mass, if you wanted to

824
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: make sure your body water. You know, if you're not dehyde,

825
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: you can look at it. You know. My sister is

826
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: a she's a trainer, and she looked at it and

827
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: she's like, yeah, this is legit. Oh my gosh. Are

828
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: we almost at the end? Okay, yeah, we have one

829
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: more question. Go ahead.

830
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: Okay, this next question is for me. Oh okay, it's

831
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: from It's from Laurie.

832
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

833
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 2: Can you ask producer Magan.

834
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: Which pilates app or site she she is using that

835
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: She said she loves thinks. So the website that I'm

836
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 3: using is called Melissa would Help, and it's basically a website,

837
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: but you pay ten dollars a month and then there's

838
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: an app that you can put on your TV that

839
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: has all her videos and it's just has a lot

840
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: of it.

841
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: She has a schedule of all.

842
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: These pilates videos, so every week it's updated with what

843
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 3: to do every day and really like, I mean they're

844
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 3: not per easy, but it ranges from like fifteen minutes

845
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 3: to forty minutes totally like doable if you're like me

846
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: and I don't like to work out, So the fact

847
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 3: that I'm able to do it is telling something.

848
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: So that's is this a family friend? How did you

849
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: find this person?

850
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 2: No?

851
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 3: I how did I find her? A friend recommended her,

852
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 3: and then a lot of like YouTubers like okay flincers

853
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 3: like her.

854
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting, so she's kind of blowing up. I feel

855
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: you were.

856
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: Influenced by the influencers. So they did they did their jobs.

857
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I don't know if they were paid by her, but.

858
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sure there's something well maybe not, who knows.

859
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, some of that can be organic, but if

860
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: you're if you're making a living on that, it's like

861
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: what you say is like somehow paid or whatever. I

862
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: feel bad for all the I mean I don't really

863
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: feel bad, but like, imagine you're like a travel influencer,

864
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing right now?

865
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: That's tricky no, no.

866
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: I mean fashion blogger. I guess you could still be

867
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: doing but travel not so much kind of tough and

868
00:41:59,480 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: don't even.

869
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: Think about that.

870
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're not You're not really supposed to go

871
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: on road trips right now.

872
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: So well that's the thing. I mean, I don't know

873
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: if you're not supposed to, but you well they're saying

874
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: not to, like I know, there's like I because Linday

875
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: and I we were planning, like to get out of

876
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: town for like either a weekend or like whatever, and

877
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: then I started reading the CDC website and it's like,

878
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: do not travel if you don't have to do not travel.

879
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I did'n't really think about that,

880
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, like that you just because places are being

881
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: opened in other places, like they don't really want you

882
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: traveling either, So that was tricky. Yeah, so yeah, I

883
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: mean you're not I think that. Yeah, it's it's tough

884
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: for them because you can't really do anything.

885
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, oh my gosh.

886
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: All right. Final story, Yes, final story of the podcast.

887
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: We did a story on KTLA today about these copper

888
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: touch tools. You've probably seen them advertised. They look like

889
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: a key and they use them to like you know,

890
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: touch a touch screen, the pin pad. They have like

891
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: a hook on them so you can open up a

892
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: door handle. Had you seen these things before I brought

893
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: these this story to you.

894
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 2: No, okay, no, I hadn't seen them.

895
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: So the thing about these is that because copper is

896
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: anti microbial, the germs die on this thing, so you

897
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: can use it, you know, to push all these buttons

898
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: and stuff and not get sick. So I was a

899
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: little bit skeptical because I'm like, come on, that sounds

900
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit hooky, right, So I ended up getting

901
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: in touch with this guy at the Medical University of

902
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina. His name is Michael Schmidt, and he's the

903
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: guru of copper. He does a podcast called This Week

904
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: in Microbiology. I mean, this guy, you know, he knows

905
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. And he was like, yeah, this

906
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: is legit. And his whole thesis is that, you know,

907
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: number one, people have been using copper for thousands of

908
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: years because they figured out back in the day. Did

909
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: I tell you the story that when they were carrying

910
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: their water in like a copper vessel, their family didn't

911
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 1: get as sick as much as when they cop carried

912
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: it in like anything else. And they just realized that like, oh,

913
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: oh my god, copper must like kill stuff in you know,

914
00:43:55,920 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: or not not be conducive to germs. So and then

915
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: so the whole thing about this these things is that

916
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: they take time. They don't kill the germs in seconds,

917
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: you know. Most of the time, it could take up

918
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: to four hours. And that was this big study that

919
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: was cited in a whole bunch of articles saying that

920
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: these things are kind of a waste of money. And

921
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: I asked them about that. I said, well, what about

922
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: this four hour time limit for like this bacteria to die.

923
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: Because by the time you have four hours, you let's

924
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: say you use a pin pad and then you put

925
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: this thing in your pocket. Now your pocket's infected with COVID, right,

926
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: or whatever germs. And so he said, well, if for

927
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: that four hours, that is the most extreme example, you

928
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: would have to literally sneeze on something over and over

929
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: for it to get that infected. Where it would take

930
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: four hours for this thing to kill it. He said,

931
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: at that point, the surface would look wet, He's like,

932
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna use common sense at that point to

933
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: not touch that surface or interact with it because it's wet, right,

934
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: if you saw if you went up to an ATM

935
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: machine and the keys were all wet, would you touch it? No,

936
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: I don't think certainly, not so any anyway, So and

937
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: he explained how copper works to like kill these things.

938
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: It's very complicated, but it apparently does. And the alternative

939
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: if you want something super cheap, if you don't want

940
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: to buy one of these keys that are like twenty

941
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: five bucks. They're popping up everywhere. By the way, Megan,

942
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: I got one hundred emails this morning from people who

943
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: are making them locally or just in general around the world,

944
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: like or around the US, that like want to be

945
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: a part of the story. I guess anyone that knows

946
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: anything about brass or copper can make these things. He's

947
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: shape it into a key. But you can use a penny.

948
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: Penny apparently is made from or coated with copper, and

949
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: it will kill germs. Can use a quarter, You can

950
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: use any any change apparently, yeah, any change. Now, the

951
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: dirtiest thing is cash, So you do not want to

952
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: touch cash, because there I thought he was going to

953
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: say that they put antimicrobial properties in cash in America,

954
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: but they don't, and over in Europe. I guess they

955
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: use plastic for their money, Like it's made out of

956
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: like a plastic and it's even dirtier than money over

957
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: here than paper money.

958
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 2: So so crazy.

959
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: So I always thought money was dirty, but now it's like,

960
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: I you know, it's it's funny because we're taking a

961
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: fresh look at almost everything in life and being like what,

962
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: like it's just going out Like how clean is that? Yeah?

963
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: Like the things we used to take for granted is like,

964
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, feels like you're doing something wrong now.

965
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: I was on TikTok yesterday surprise surprise, and one of

966
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: the videos that came up for me was this new

967
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 3: trend of putting your strawberries in a bowl of water

968
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: with salt in it. Like after you buy your strawberries

969
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 3: from the market and bugs come out of the strawberries.

970
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 3: What And it's disgusting, yes, And like so all these

971
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: people are posting videos of like they take their strawberries

972
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: out and they put them in the water with salt

973
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 3: and they pour salt and they wait five minutes and

974
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: they watch as like bugs come out of the strawberries

975
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 3: and oh my gosh, now I will never eat strawberries.

976
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: I just had strawberries this morning, and my kids love them.

977
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: Should I try it.

978
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 2: Either extra crunchy? I mean, you know, sorry for telling you.

979
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: No, it's here's here's the thing. Back in the day,

980
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: I used to love this book that would tell you

981
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: all these like little like factoids and stuff, and one

982
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: of them was that every food we eat there is

983
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: a level of acceptable bug fragments in pretty much everything.

984
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: So like in a bottle of peanut butter, they're allowed

985
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: to have like seventy four fragments of like insect legs

986
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. So it's just the reality. I mean, you

987
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: can't not have it, and it's it's just the way

988
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: it is.

989
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: I could have gone without seeing it.

990
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I agree. What you sometimes that you

991
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: don't know is better than you know what you do know. Anyway,

992
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: I used to love that book, by the way, I

993
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,320
