00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Boyd has send me those questions. I'm the tech reporter

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Welcome to the

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: folks watching on the live Instagram stream. I did this

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: last week, and you know what, I thought, it brought

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: like a pretty nice energy to the show. So I

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: felt like I was getting instant reactions. I felt like

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: people were asking questions. I felt like half the people

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: were like, who is this person I'm following? And why

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: is he doing this thing? What? Rich has a podcast,

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: So all of the are totally valid. So welcome to

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: the show. Thanks for joining me. Got a lot to

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: talk about this week, way too much actually, so I'm

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to go through some of these stories pretty fast.

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: But I just got back from Palm Springs, California, which

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot a lot of my followers are

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: in California, but a lot of them are in or

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you or in other places. And I

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: just have to say that Palm Springs. There is so

25
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: much going on in California. And I'm not just talking

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: about the problems. I'm talking about the good stuff too.

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, California is such a beautiful state. I almost

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: called it a country because it kind of is. It's

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: so big that you like, I grew up on the

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: East Coast in New Jersey, and you know, when we

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: went on road trips, we literally went all over the

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: East coast. You know, we went to Maine, we went

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: to New Hampshire, we went to New York, we went

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: to Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania begrudgingly, but we went all over.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: We went to different places. Just kidding. If you're in Pennsylvania,

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: it was just a really long drive across. But the

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: reality is in California, you know, there are so many

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: places to go that you don't even have to leave California.

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's and it's so beautiful and it's so varied.

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: That's the thing. It took me many many years to

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: realize this, Like I took it all for granted, and

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: now I just get it, Like you want to go

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: to the mountains. That weekend, go to the mountains. You

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: want to go to the ocean. The next weekend you

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: go to the ocean. You want to go to the snow.

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: One weekend you go to the snow. You want the desert,

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: You've got the desert. You want amazing cities like San Francisco,

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: uh that are still you know, recovering from the pandemic,

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: you can go there. But I mean Wine Country. There

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: is just so much. And I guess maybe it's now

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: that I have kids that I'm kind of going to

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: all these places and looking for things. But anyway, I

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: tell you all this because I was in Palm Springs

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: for this Volvo Drive event and it you know, it's

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: basically an event. They invite the media and you go

56
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: and you drive the cars. And I'm telling you, Palm

57
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: up in there so many times, but mostly Palm Desert,

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: and it's just such a fun little place. There's just

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: so like so much energy there. It's something about the

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: mountains in the distance that are just like they ground

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: you in this world. I don't know what it is,

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: but I just get this like re energized feeling when

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: I go to Palm Springs and Palm Desert and it's

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: just such a fun place. So anyway, if you haven't been,

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: if you haven't been lately, go And yeah, I've got

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: commenters talking about the taxes and taxes and the high

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: gas prices, and yes, there are a million and one

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: things about California that make it a kind of a

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: wild place to live. But at the end of the day,

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: we enjoy a lifestyle here that is so far ahead

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: and beyond what so many people experience in this world

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: and in the US even, and we take it for granted,

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes you just kind of have to remember that, like,

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: this is such a magical place. So anyway, I know

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it got really really tough during the pandemic with all

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: of the mandates and things, but we're finally getting out

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: of that, and yeah, it is worth it. As Ryan said, anyway,

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: So I was talking about the Volvo. I drove Valvo's

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: first all electric car. This is the C forty. This

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: is Valvo's first pure electric car. And I didn't even

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: realize that they didn't have a pure electric yet. They

82
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: had you know, half and half whatever hybrid kind of thing,

83
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: but this is their first pure electric gets about two

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: hundred miles to the fill up and I was very impressed.

85
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: In fact, you know, as you listen to me, you

86
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: know I have a Tesla. This made me a little jealous.

87
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: I was like, did I jump the gun on the

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Tesla situation and get that a little bit too early

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: with all of these cool cars coming out. And I

90
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: will still say that the Tesla, the advantage that it

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: has is not only the technology of the car. And

92
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of downsides to the Tesla. Don't get

93
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: me wrong. I think the fit and finish is just

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: pretty horrible. But the beauty is the driving every day.

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: And also the charging situation is just unsurpassed. With the Tesla.

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: You can go anywhere California, West Coast, pretty much across

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: the US, and you're gonna be fine with charging. That

98
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: cannot be said for these other cars. And so as

99
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: much as I love the Volvo, unless you're using it

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: just to commute, it's definitely it's gonna be a challenge

101
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: still to find those those charging stations that are not

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: only I mean you can find them, they may not

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: be the fastest charging stations. And that's the other part

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: of this is you have to have fast charging to

105
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: really get the most used out of these cars on

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: a road trip. If you just drive into work and

107
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: to school and to you know, fun around town, you're

108
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna be just fine. Charging at home, charging at work,

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be just fine. It's really on those

110
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: road trips that that Tesla infrastructure rocks. So with that

111
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: in mind, I will have My review of the C forty.

112
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: I mean, top line review is that it's an excellent car.

113
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: In fact, I would definitely recommend it, and I think

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: that the Volvo is a fantastic ev I love the

115
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Google inside. In fact, there wasn't anything I didn't like

116
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: about it. The price is a little high, it's sixty grand,

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: but it does qualify for all the tax rebates, which

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: could be up to like, you know, ten thousand bucks

119
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: depending on where you live, and so you know, that's nice.

120
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: The other thing is that the Starbucks and Volvo are

121
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: collaborating to build chargers at Starbucks, which of course makes

122
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, right, I mean, Starbucks are everywhere.

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of this extra space at their stations,

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, at their at their places that have parking

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: lots and stuff like that. So you can easily convert

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: one of those into a charger. So they're gonna do

127
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: fifteen Starbucks locations for starters, and it's gonna be a

128
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and fifty mile route from Do you say

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: route or route? I always say route, paper like I

130
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: had a paper route when I was a kid, paper

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: route when I was a kid. I say route. I

132
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: think you can say it either way, but anyway, They're

133
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna go from Seattle to Denver with this pilot program,

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: which is a location about every one hundred miles. And

135
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: so people are you know, and I asked Valvo. I said, hey,

136
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: I'd really like to drive this road trip later this

137
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: year when these things are in place, and so they said,

138
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, sure, But you know, they'll say anything

139
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: in the moment, but who knows, we'll see, but I'm excited.

140
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Volvo drivers will get access for free. And this should

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: be the test, Like pilot will be completed by twenty

142
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty two, so they will have these stations in place,

143
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: and it's just one of these things where we're going

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: to see more and more. Like Ryan is saying, Sonic

145
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: really needs to get in on EV charging. That would

146
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: actually be a great one. The ev charging at Sonic

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: would be perfect because you don't have to leave your car.

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you order at the screen and

149
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you actually say, can you also plug in my car?

150
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: And this is another thing I wanted to mention that

151
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't talk about with the evs

152
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: is that and this. I almost feel guilty mentioning this

153
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: right now because because of the high gas prices in

154
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: California and the US at large. But I mean, there

155
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: are so many opportunities to charge evs for free. That

156
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: is kind of a small secret right now, where yes,

157
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: it's getting maybe less places, but like you know, the

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: hotel I stayed at in Palm Springs, I just they

159
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: didn't advertise it or anything. I just I always ask

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: when I get to a hotel, like, hey, can you

161
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: charge my car? And I will say, the last four

162
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: or five places I've stayed at or six have all

163
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: had a place to charge, so and by the way,

164
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: that charging is free. So it was kind of nice

165
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: driving back knowing that it was like a free ride. Basically,

166
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: still wear and tear in your car obviously, Marcus says,

167
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: can I have a pair of those? These these are

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: like real, like you guys don't really see me doing

169
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: the podcast with these headphones on. But I love these

170
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: headphones because I'm a I'm a person that moves a

171
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: lot when I talk, and so these these headphones can

172
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: move with me. It's basically one of those like Monday

173
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: night football, like the sports headphones. So I've got the

174
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: two side cups and then the microphone right in front

175
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: of my mouth. But it's great and I love the

176
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: I've used these since day one on the podcast because

177
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: they're just so easy. All right, let's get to the

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: first question of the show. Good morning. I enjoy your

179
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: insights on many products would have. Do you have any

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: recommendations for a reliable fax app that's compatible with my

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: scanner that's listed or a free app that doesn't require

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: a subscription. I am home based. Thanks for your time

183
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: and help if you're able to, Sincerely, Valerie. Valerie, I

184
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: don't think there is a free Maybe there's a free

185
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: facts situation out there. I honestly I don't know if. Well, okay,

186
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: so there's something I just searched for free facts. It's

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: called facts zero. I mean, I guess you can do that.

188
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: It's a maximum of three pages plus a cover five

189
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: factxes per day. So if you want to just send

190
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: something for freefactszero dot com, Now, I personally, if you're

191
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: using this for business, I think that you're going to

192
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: have to step up a little bit and pay. Because

193
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: number one, anything that's free, you have to wonder about

194
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: the security of that. You know, it may not be

195
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: as secure as a paid as a paid thing something

196
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't require a subscription, So I think, I mean,

197
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you my favorite. So my favorite is

198
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: it's called Hellofax Hellofax dot com and I've used them

199
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: for many, many years anytime I have to sign any

200
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: kind of contract, paperwork whatever hello fax it is. And honestly,

201
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: I've never had to pay, so I'm not sure if

202
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: they have some sort of free level of service where

203
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: you get like one or two or three facts is

204
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: a month. I think maybe I did have to pay

205
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine cents once to send one, but it was

206
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: so minimal that I was like, all right, that's fine,

207
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: I could I could do that. I think I went

208
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: to a Kinkos once and it was like seven or

209
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: eight bucks to send a FAXT, So I think you'll

210
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: be fine. But that's what I would recommend. I would

211
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: recommend Hello Fax and see if if you know the

212
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: free facts works, try it. Hellofax is the other one,

213
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: and there are others out my my, eating my words,

214
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: there are others out there, like efacts dot Com is

215
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: pretty much the gold standard in faxing. It's been around forever.

216
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: I like HELLOFACTX. I think it's more modern. It works

217
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: really well. And they were purchased by Dropbox, so I

218
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know how long they're going to be around, but

219
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: they are still around and they always work for me,

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: and it always seems great, all right. T Mobile this

221
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: week unveiled its answer to the to the iPhone SE,

222
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: the new iPhone SE. I talked about it last week

223
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: on the show. It is the five G iPhone that

224
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of looks like an iPhone eight. It's still got

225
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: the home button, but it's got upgraded cameras and a

226
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: better processor. And Samsung their's is called the Galaxy A

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: fifty three five G. I mean, oh, isn't that a

228
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: winning name? Consumers are just going to roll into Best

229
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: Buy and be like, hey, can I please get the

230
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Galaxy Samsung Galaxy A fifty three five G. I mean, Samsung,

231
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: come on, like, let's just make these phones with names

232
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: that people can roll off the you know, off the tongue.

233
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how about just the Galaxy Triple

234
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: A or something. You know, four hundred and forty nine dollars.

235
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: Don't pay that price. Samsung phones are always discounted, So

236
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: if you're paying four hundred and forty nine dollars, you're

237
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: doing something wrong. I guarantee you there's a discount on

238
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: this phone already, Samsung A fifty three. So the advantages

239
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: over the iPhone SC It's got more cameras, so it's

240
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: got the It's got a quad camera system, so I

241
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: assume that's three cameras on the back and a camera

242
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: on the front, so you're getting like the wide angle

243
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and the zoom, so that's a

244
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit better. It's got AI power to capture clear

245
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: pictures in all lighting conditions. Is also got the photo

246
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: remaster which will take a photo make it look better,

247
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and object eraser, which is kind of fun. It's got

248
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: now they say two day battery life. I have not

249
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: tested this phone just yet, so I can't tell you

250
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: if it has to day. They did tell me that

251
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: the S twenty two Ultra had two day and I

252
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case. Maybe if you don't

253
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: use it as much as I do, but you know

254
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get long battery life. I think Samsung has

255
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: done a really good job with the battery life. Also

256
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: super fast charging and a six point five inch display

257
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: edge to edge. So a lot of people with the

258
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: with the iPhone S the new one, you know, and

259
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: by the way, that's a four hundred and twenty nine dollars,

260
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: So this one's a little bit more, but like I said,

261
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be discounted. A lot of people are giving

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: the iPhone SE that came out in twenty twenty two

263
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: a hard time because it's it's got a very old design.

264
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Now some people might like that because it's comfortable, it's

265
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: what they're used to, and really, who they're appealing to

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: here is not the most cutting edge person with either

267
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: of these phones. These are phones that are basic smartphones

268
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: that will do the job, but also are really good.

269
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, these inexpensive and I'm putting up my air

270
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: quotes here, these inexpensive smartphones in twenty twenty two are

271
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: still pretty amazing. And so if you like Samsung, if

272
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: you like the Android side of things. Then I would

273
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: definitely consider this a fifty three to five G. I

274
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: think that the S twenty two, if you can jump

275
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: up to the S twenty two, I think that would

276
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: be a better phone over all if you care about

277
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: like the maximum everything, But if you just care about

278
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: having a nice smartphone that that just works and it's

279
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a better deal. I would reckon reckon,

280
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: who says reckon, I would reckon to say that this

281
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: is probably gonna be one hundred dollars off minimum, So

282
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I'd say one hundred dollars, so three hundred and fifty

283
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: bucks for this phone. So I think that's that's that's

284
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: a pretty good deal. So Samsung Galaxy A fifty three

285
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: five G. Let's get to the next question of the show.

286
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Diana says, I saw your infomercial this morning. I love

287
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: when people call my stories on TV infomercials or advertisements.

288
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: We call them segments because they are not No one

289
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: pays us to do these things, so it's not an infomercial.

290
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: It's not an advertisement. I get it. It's different than

291
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the standard news because it's like, okay, it goes from

292
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: like fire, you know, murder. This That to me which

293
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: is like smiling and you know, telling you something fun,

294
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's not an infomercial, it is just

295
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: a segment. So anyway, I saw your infomercial this morning

296
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: on tracking points through a ward wallet and point me.

297
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: But when I look them up, it seems they want

298
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: me to provide passwords to my accounts, which concern me.

299
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: Could you clarify how these two sites work? Thank you, Diana. Diana,

300
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: this is a excellent question and I'm so glad you

301
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: asked it because you should always be critical of any

302
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: website that wants you to hand over your passwords. Now,

303
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: when I do these the research on these sites, a

304
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: ward wallet has been around forever. Point me as brand new.

305
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: Point me doesn't ask for your your your login info,

306
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: but a ward wallet definitely does, and so does the

307
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: points guy, the point skuy app that I also mentioned,

308
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: and so a ward wallet the way it works, and

309
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: I've grown to love this app and just a few

310
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: weeks of using it. But you log in with your email,

311
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: and I know it's a lot to give up your email,

312
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you know, your email account to these these systems. Now,

313
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: the way they authenticate it, you're not actually giving them

314
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: your password they're just getting a one time token from Google.

315
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they can read

316
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: your email, and so you have to be comfortable with

317
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: a website if you're giving it this level of access. Now,

318
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: on the flip side, the reason why I give it

319
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: that level of access is because it is looking for

320
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: emails that come from any sort of travel company or reservation.

321
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: And so what I love about a ward wallet is

322
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: that I now have this list of every single reservation

323
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: I have ever made, and I can tell you in

324
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: seven days, I'm going out to dinner, and a couple

325
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: of days after that, I might be checking into a

326
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: hotel that I might be going to a lunch, and

327
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: then I'm you know, it's just all these things and

328
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: they're all in a row with my confirmation number front

329
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and center. It's all stuff that's in my email. But

330
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: guess what, when I want to check into that Hilton,

331
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: I have to go and search in my email for

332
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: the conformation number. And it's kind of similar to what

333
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: uh trip it is it trip it trip it does?

334
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: Uh trip it costs. I think it's like fifty bucks

335
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: a year. Your company might give it you for free,

336
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: but again, it's just it makes life a little bit easier.

337
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: So I'm giving up a little bit of control to

338
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: make my life easier and to organize my life because

339
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: if this saves me from one, you know, penalty of

340
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: a cancelation or something that I forget to do, that's

341
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: a big deal and that that's very worth it to me,

342
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: or you know, looking at my thing and saying, wait,

343
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: what's this United flight? Like what what's I didn't I

344
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: don't remember that. Oh yeah, I have that coming up,

345
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: so I need to you know, it just it just

346
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: helps you. And so it's one tool. But again you

347
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: have to be very critical of any website that asks

348
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: for your login information. And Points Guy again I trust them,

349
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of these companies use kind of third parties,

350
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: like I don't know if Points Guy does, but no,

351
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: I think you log in with your actual stuff. But

352
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: you have to remember now, if you ever want to

353
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: revoke access, you all need to learn how to do that.

354
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: And so typically it's called third party permissions. So if

355
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: you just Google, like let's say you want to look

356
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: at all the companies or the websites that you've authorized

357
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: your Google login, just type in Google and then third

358
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: party what I say, third party permissions. Okay, So I'm

359
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,239
Speaker 1: googling that and it comes up to sign into your

360
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: Google account, and now I can see all the apps

361
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: that have access to my account and I can revoke access.

362
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: So and it also will tell you what those apps

363
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: have access to. So, for instance, Amazon A you know

364
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, has some account access a ward

365
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: while it has access to Gmail. That's a red flag.

366
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I want to make sure I trust that.

367
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Let's see macOS has access to my Gmail, my Google calendar,

368
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: my Google Contacts. Let's see, Samsung has some account access.

369
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Trip it has access to my Gmail. Now I don't

370
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: have a Trippet account anymore. I don't think I do.

371
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: That's active, and so I would probably go through and

372
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: revoke access because they still have access to my email

373
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: and I don't want them to have access. So you

374
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: can do that with Instagram, you can do it, with

375
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: the Twitter, you can do it Facebook, Google, any company

376
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: that you can log in with, you can revoke those

377
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: third party permissions. So great question, Diane, And yes, always, always,

378
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: always be critical of anything that you're giving your permission to.

379
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it can be very it

380
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: can be very advantageous to do that as well if

381
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: you trust the program. All right, iOS fifteen point four

382
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: is now available, so if you have an iPhone or

383
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: an iPad or a Mac there they launched all of

384
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: their new software this week, so if you want the

385
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: latest and greatest software, you can go ahead and get that.

386
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I was not even aware that my MacBook had new

387
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: software until I was doing research for the show and

388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I should probably download that. I

389
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: used to be one of these people that was downloading

390
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: the software like immediately, and you know, I'd press refresh

391
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: a million times to get the new software, and then

392
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: I got burned. And so now I don't put as

393
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: much of an emphasis on it, but I do like

394
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: to be up to date for security reasons and also

395
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: to test this stuff out. Now. I was running the

396
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: beta of iOS fifteen point four for a long time now,

397
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: so I've already been familiar with the new features, like

398
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: the ability I mean, this came out in January for me,

399
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: but the ability to I mean, the new features are

400
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: the ability to wear a mask while you uh use

401
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: face ID, which in Los Angeles we don't need anymore,

402
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: so it's cool that you still have it, Like if

403
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: you're a nurse or something great or doctor or whatever,

404
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, you don't need that. And then the other

405
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: new emoji, I mean, I don't you know, I don't

406
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: care about the new emojis. And then let's see the

407
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: other thing is a new Seri voice and so and

408
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: the Seri voice is let's see, I don't did I

409
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: feel like it was selected on my on my phone.

410
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: But there's let's see the new series voice. There were

411
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: some news about the new Seri voice. Uh, yeah, it's

412
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: gender neutral. I was trying to think of what the

413
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: term was for this new Serie voice, but gender neutral.

414
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: And so it's a less gendered voice. And so again options.

415
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: Siri has gotten many many options over the past couple

416
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: of years, and so this is just one more of them.

417
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: So if you have an iOS device, definitely download the

418
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: software if you like to be on the cutting edge.

419
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: And if you have a macOS device like a MacBook,

420
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: do that as well. One of the big features a

421
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about is this new Universal

422
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Control and so The Verge says that it's Apple's most

423
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: impressive new feature in years. Now. What it does is,

424
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: once you have both of these devices like a Mac

425
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: computer and an iPad running the latest software. You can

426
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: literally put the iPad next to the Mac computer. It

427
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: will find them. It will find you know, the link

428
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: up and then you can use your mac's keyboard and

429
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: to control the iPad. Kind of cool. I wish I

430
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: had my iPad, or I should. I don't. I don't

431
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: have them updated yet, but I got to try this

432
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: out and I'll talk about it more. But you basically

433
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: just move your mouse over to the right and it

434
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: will follow onto the other screen or to the left

435
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: wherever you have it set up or maybe up, and

436
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: you can use your keyboard as well. I'm trying to

437
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: figure out how this is different than sidecar, because that's

438
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: what I was using before. I know, you can drag

439
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: and drop files too, which is actually really cool. So

440
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: if you have a picture on your Mac, you can

441
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: just drag and drop it onto your iPad by just

442
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: bringing it to the next screen. I mean, that's pretty cool.

443
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: And so again we're just getting it always. All this

444
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: stuff reminds me of that the movies, like the sci

445
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: fi movies that are always like send that to my

446
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: screen and literally the person just like goes like and

447
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: swiped it from their screen. To the person's screen. Air

448
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Drop is kind of like that. I mean, it's like

449
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: it's very sci fi. But I always joke. I've made

450
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: that joke about one hundred and fifty times to people

451
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: like out and about all my stories, and no one

452
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: gets it. Like everyone just looks at me like what

453
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: do you talk? Are are you talking? You want me

454
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: a text to air drop or nearby Share? Oh? This

455
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: was great. So I was testing the Samsung Galaxy S

456
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty two the other day out in you know, in

457
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the world, and I was taking pictures with it, and

458
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: someone wanted me to share the picture with them, and

459
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I could do that, just

460
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: turn on your nearby Share And they're like what And

461
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, cause I notice, say an Android phone,

462
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: and I've never been able to use the nearby share

463
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: with anyone. I call it in the wild. And so

464
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: this person was like, oh, okay, how do I do that?

465
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: And I was like and I never I never touched

466
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: people's phones when I'm helping them because I'd rather them

467
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: learn how to do it. So I always say, okay,

468
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: swipe down from the top, let's find where nearby Share is. Okay,

469
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: it's not there. So swipe over there it is, turn

470
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: it on and then boom the phone lit up and said, hey,

471
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: we see Rich's phone over here. And I said, okay,

472
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: now tap that to accept and now I'm gonna send

473
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: it your way. And the picture came to his phone

474
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: and he was so impressed, and I said, I I

475
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: don't think I tweeted, but I literally was so impressed

476
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: that I was able to use I get that that

477
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: iPhone users are so used to Android are so used

478
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: to air drop, and I get it. It's like no

479
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: one's business. Everyone knows airdrop, but on Android, the nearby

480
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: share feature, which has been built into phones for so

481
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: many years now, I don't think anyone knows about it

482
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: because we're such an iPhone centric country in the US

483
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: that typically the problem with sharing is sharing from Android

484
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: to iPhone or iPhone to Android. So it's not necessarily

485
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: the Android to Android sharing, it's the not necessarily the

486
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: iPhone to iPhone sharing. It's all about sharing cross platform,

487
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: and we still don't have a very good system of that.

488
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get into the I don't

489
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: want to get into that because it's just you get

490
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: me going. And yeah, so anyway, it was really cool

491
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: to see it in person, so I thought that was

492
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: pretty great. Okay, where are we at? I just to

493
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: us a story. Is it time for another question? I

494
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: was gonna go off on a tangent about something, but

495
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: I forgot what I was gonna talk about, so okay,

496
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is a long one. Hey, rich I

497
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: really enjoy your weekly podcast. I first learned of you

498
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: when you hosted for Leo's Tech Guys show Leo Laporte.

499
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I was listening to your podcast last week and noticing

500
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: that you were discussing using a credit versus debit card

501
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: to avoid fraudulent charges. I had the same problem a

502
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: couple times when my cards were stolen. I found a solution,

503
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: and that is my bank in the Eastern US Regions Bank,

504
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: which might be offered by other banks. It's called a

505
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: debit card called now card. It's not directly tied to

506
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: my checking It's kind of like a reloadable gift card.

507
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: But in the online banking or mobile app, I can

508
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: transfer money from my checking to the now card. If

509
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm handing my card to someone or swiping. As you say,

510
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: I almost always use the now card since it's not

511
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: tied to my checking account or running up a credit balance.

512
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: I only keep about one hundred dollars in the card

513
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: at any time. If the car gets stolen, I would

514
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: only be out that money, and they have no connection

515
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: to my bank. I can transfer money to my now

516
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: card as often as I needed. I've not had car

517
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: card stolen in nearly five years. Thought you might want

518
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: to mention this in your future podcast. Thanks Wes. Wes. Yes,

519
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: your system is very very similar to mine. So I

520
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: don't know if I mentioned this in my last podcast,

521
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: but I do what's called a reverse credit card. And

522
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: so I know I'm weird because I'm weirdly against credit cards,

523
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: and so I try not to use my credit card

524
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: at any Like I paid my credit card bill today,

525
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, how is it that much? Like I didn't

526
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: use it for anything last week, and it's still just

527
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: like it just adds up because you just forget like

528
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: a couple bucks here, a couple bucks there. And so

529
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: that's why I like to use debit, because I can

530
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: see my balance. So what I do is I have

531
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: a separate debit card that I load up every week

532
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: with money. And so just like what you're talking about exactly,

533
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: but I have budgeted out kind of what I spent

534
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: on food, what I spend on you know, whatever uber

535
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: going out, and that money I put like every week

536
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: on my debit card, and that's my spending money. I

537
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: call it fun money, and so it's not really fun

538
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: because buying groceries is not fun, Buying gas is not fun.

539
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: My wife buys gas on the card. But we've called

540
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: it fun money for so many years. But it's really

541
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: just our budgeted money for that week. So anyway, it's

542
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: very similar and I use that system. I'm still hesitant

543
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: to hand that card over to people because it is

544
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: still kind of there is my money for the week

545
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: on that card. So I guess you're right, it wouldn't

546
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: be too bad. It's not really connected to my main account,

547
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: so that's probably fine. I also looked into another card

548
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: called the point point card, and I think I talked

549
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: about this on the website, but it's called point dot

550
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: app and it's basically a debit card that you can

551
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: get points for and it's the same thing, but you

552
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: reload it and so you have the money on the

553
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: card before we spend it. The difference here is that

554
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: it's very tech forward. But what I didn't like about

555
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: it is that I got a lot of emails from

556
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: them about acquiring points, like they would say this week,

557
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: fifteen times points on ordering a pizza, and I don't

558
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing of I don't want to get into

559
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: this too much, but it's the psychology of points that

560
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: I really like. I love points just as much as

561
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: the next person. But it's that psychology of points where

562
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: you feel really good when you're getting points, and so

563
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to feel good when I'm spending my money.

564
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: I want to feel like I'm spending money because that

565
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: makes me spend less money. So when you're getting points,

566
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: especially ten times points, twenty times points, it's very psychological

567
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: in making you feel good for spending your money. And

568
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: I'm not believe me, I get it. I love points

569
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: just as much as the next person. I booked a

570
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: couple flights with points the other day. I do acquire points,

571
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: but I used to really play the points game and

572
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: actively try to acquire points, and at this point I

573
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: don't because I'd rather save my money and not get

574
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: the points, then spend the money and get points that

575
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: are worth a fraction of what your money's worth. And

576
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: so it's a personal preference. I know it's not for everyone,

577
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: but it's just the way I do it. The other

578
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: advantage of the Point Card is that the money transfers instantly.

579
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: So there are many many debit cards you can get

580
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: out there, like a Green Daw or a you know,

581
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: there's so many of them that can let you transfer

582
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: money from your checking account. But the trick is it

583
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: usually takes two to three days unless you're doing direct deposit.

584
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: But with Point Card, they actually let you transfer money instantly,

585
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: which is a huge advantage with that card, And so

586
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. But anyway, Wes, great, great addition

587
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: to the show. Thanks for sharing. And I love the

588
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: fact that we are both kind of on that debit

589
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: card train. It's not there's nothing sexy about using a

590
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: debit card. It's like the boringest thing you can do.

591
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: It's my debit card is not even a good looking card,

592
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: and it's like one of these things where I just

593
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: I use it and it's like the only reason I

594
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: use it is because it makes me feel that money

595
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: when you pay cash for something, have you ever tried

596
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: to just try this just the same thing that you

597
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: purchase typically, right, Like, whether it's a groceries for the week,

598
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: whether it's coffee at Starbucks. Just go to the ATM,

599
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: take out cash, and hand over that cash to someone.

600
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: And for your thing. The more expensive the better, like

601
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: if it's like a fifty dollars thing or one hundred

602
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: dollars thing, like your groceries, and just see what it

603
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: feels like. It literally, like when someone is taking cash

604
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: out of my hand, it's like this, like they have

605
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: to like kind of pull it because my hand has

606
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: not released it. And I'm like, okay, here you go.

607
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: When it's my debit card or my you know, especially

608
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: a credit card, like I'll swipe with my foot, like

609
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: I'll put it between my toes and swipe that way,

610
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: like I'll swipe behind my back. Like it's all like fun.

611
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: It's all fun and games with the credit card. And

612
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: so it's just it feels fun to spend on it

613
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: because you're getting all those points on the back end

614
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: and then you're getting free travel and all this stuff.

615
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm not gonna try to take down the

616
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: marketing departments at all these credit card companies that are

617
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: way smarter than my tiny brain. But believe me, they

618
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: spend millions of dollars on this stuff, and I'm just

619
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just like you know, I'm here for the ride.

620
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, a lot of these thoughts are

621
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: not mine. They are derived from Dave Ramsey, which I

622
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: am a big follower of, and so these are not

623
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: my original ideas. A lot of these things are from

624
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: listening to his show and his point of view and

625
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: doing my own research. So anyway, oh no, we're not

626
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: on that. Okay, let's talk speaking of money, Netflix. Netflix

627
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: is now gonna ask subscribers in certain places when they

628
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: try to share their account with someone outside their house, like, hey,

629
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: can you pay for that by any chance? And the

630
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: answer probably is going to be a resounding no. Now,

631
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: Netflix has been notoriously lax about letting people share their accounts.

632
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: They know Netflix is not stupid. They know when someone

633
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: is streaming my account is in California. I live in California,

634
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. They know when people are streaming in

635
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: other cities across the nation that are in my profile

636
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: and household but don't live with me. They know that

637
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: they're allowing that to happen. Now, there are reasons for this,

638
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: because it is really tough to tell if your kid

639
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: is in college, and so if I say, oh, that

640
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: account that's streaming in New Jersey, that's my son in college.

641
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: Wank wink, And they can't do What are they gonna say, Oh,

642
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: we need you to send a transcript, We need you

643
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: to send the IP address of his dorm room computer.

644
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Like no, they just Okay, not much we can do

645
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: about that. But they do feel like maybe, you know,

646
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: people are sharing this with their friends, getting a little

647
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: money on the back end. Who knows. So this is

648
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: a variety exclusive, saying that in Chile, Costa Rica and

649
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: Peru they are going to prompt members that want to

650
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: share their account to pay for those accounts, and it

651
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: will be called the ad an extra member feature. They'll

652
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: be out able to add up to two people that

653
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: don't live with them, and those people will get their

654
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: own profile, their own personalized recommendations, their own login, their

655
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: own password for less than the cost of a standalone

656
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: Netflix plan. How much you ask, Oh, funny, you should

657
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: ask two dollars and ninety nine cents. That's US dollars

658
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: the other ones. And let's see in Peru it's seven

659
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: point nine seven point nine pe n to US d

660
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: Let's see that's two dollars and nine cents, and then

661
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: in Chile it is going to be twenty three eighty

662
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: twenty three eighty CLP to USD. I'm just doing a

663
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: quick Google search here and that's about three dollars. So

664
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: it's about three dollars to add a person. Now unless

665
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: you are unless you are collecting that money from that

666
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: person on the other end, it's like, why would you

667
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: ever do this? And so I'm guessing that Netflix knows

668
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: that people are going to feel guilty about this and say, look,

669
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, whoever they're sharing it with, will you pay

670
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: that extra three bucks? And will all be legitimate? You've

671
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: got your own profile, you've got your own login, all

672
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: this good stuff. The other thing that they're going to

673
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: do is let people transfer over whatever they had going on.

674
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: So if you had a profile, they will let you

675
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: transfer it, because that's the big thing. Once you've built

676
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: this profile on Netflix, you don't really want to get

677
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: rid of it, and so you know they're gonna let

678
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: you transfer that right over. All, Right, let's get to

679
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: the next question of the podcast. Hey, rich I recently

680
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: bought an iPhone for the first time. I was wondering

681
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: how you switch your contacts and photos from Android to iPhone.

682
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: I was hoping you can help me with this, and

683
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of your podcast. I've been there

684
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: since day one. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Gabe, Gabe,

685
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: thanks for listening to the podcast since day one. If

686
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: you've listened since day one, you know that this podcast

687
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: has gone through more changes than a If I knew

688
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: phrases like that, I would have used it, but I don't.

689
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying. What goes through a

690
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of more changes than a than a Google messaging service.

691
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I need those drums to do. So it's very simple,

692
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: very easy. Apple makes an app called move to iOS

693
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: and it will transfer your messages, your photos, your contacts,

694
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: and more. And specifically the more is your calendar, so

695
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: not much more, but it will do it. So those

696
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: are all the basics, your messages, your contacts, your calendar,

697
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: your Google account, and your camera roll. So that's it.

698
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: You'll get your web bookmarks as well. So the review

699
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: on this app. Reviews on this app are not very good.

700
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: When was the last time this app was updated? It

701
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: was updated on March eighteenth, so today, so they are

702
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: actively updating this app, So that is what you want

703
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: to do. It's got faster Wi Fi, faster data transfer. Now,

704
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: it's got improved Wi Fi and support for Android twelve.

705
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: So install that app on your Android phone and then

706
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: when you want to switch over, it will just have

707
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: both phones with you and it will just prompt you

708
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: through the prompts. If it's like the Samsung I have

709
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: not used this one personally, I should do it just

710
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: to test it out. But if it's like the Samsung one,

711
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: Samsung's is excellent. It just basically kind of takes the

712
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: information from one phone, moves it to the other phone,

713
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: and in a very simple way. Oh, the name of

714
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: the app is moved to iOS. So all right, you

715
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. Since I do have viewers

716
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: on the Instagram stream, if you have a question for me,

717
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: get it in now and I will do a kind

718
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: of a quick round robin of some of those questions

719
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: while I read the next story here right after the story.

720
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: All right, Hulu, if you have Hulu, You've got unlimited

721
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: DVR coming to all Hulu Plus Live TV subscribers at

722
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: no additional cost. So starting April thirteenth, you will get

723
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: free Hulu DVR unlimited for all eighty channels in the lineup. Previously,

724
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: if you wanted more than fifty hours of storage, you

725
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: had to pay ten dollars a month or even fifteen

726
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: dollars a month. So if you are paying for one

727
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: of those enhanced DVR plan you will see a reduction

728
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: in your monthly bill. So that's pretty awesome. They have

729
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: to do this to compete better with Google TV or sorry,

730
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: YouTube TV, because they they have offered unlimited DVR since

731
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: day one, and now Hulu will have that feature, and

732
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: it's I think that's pretty cool. I feel like maybe

733
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: people are dvring less and that's why they're doing it.

734
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: They're like, ah, we see our data and it's not

735
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: really going to be that big of a deal to

736
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: offer it to everyone. But your your stuff is saved

737
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: for nine months, I believe, so it's not like it's forever,

738
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: but your stuff will see this same Where did I

739
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: get that nine months from? I thought I've read that somewhere,

740
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure it's nine months that your Hulu

741
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: stuff will stay safe. So if you haven't watched the

742
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: show in nine months, then you know you probably don't

743
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: need to. Lily says on the live stream, what are

744
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: the pros and cons on the new iPhone twenty twenty two?

745
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: I assume you're talking about the iPhone se twenty twenty two.

746
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: The pros or that it's inexpensive. It's four hundred and

747
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: twenty nine, and unlike I said with Samsung, it's not

748
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: particularly gonna go on sale. You might find it at

749
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: three ninety nine if someone is really wild, but I

750
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: don't think so. But the pro is that it's simple,

751
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: it's easy. It's uh, it's simple, it's easy, and uh,

752
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: hold on here, I lost my live stream for a second.

753
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: It's simple, it's easy, and it it works, and it's familiar,

754
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: and it's got that home button. The downside is and

755
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: the other pro is that you're getting the best processor

756
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: that Apple has to offer right now in a phone,

757
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: which is the A fifteen Bionic, which is really really cool.

758
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: The downside is that the design is a little tired,

759
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: the screen is a little small, bigger than before. And

760
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: let's see what are the other downsides. It doesn't have

761
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: mag safe and I think that's it. I mean, that's

762
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: really the downsides. I mean, I think it's a it's

763
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: a solid phone. If you want just a basic iPhone.

764
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: The other downside I think is the is this is

765
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: the storage? I think on the base model it's uh,

766
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: it's not well. I gotta check that. I don't don't

767
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: quote me on that, but Justin says, what headset are

768
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: you using? I got a look hold on this is.

769
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: This is an Audio Technica headset, and I can get

770
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: the exact model number. I've got to I'd have to

771
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: search my Amazon history. I bought it on Amazon many

772
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: many years ago. I'm not even sure they still sell it,

773
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: but it was like two hundred dollars audio. Let's see

774
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: if it yep here it is the BPHS one Audio

775
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: Technica bp HS one Broadcast Stereo headset with dynamic CARDIOID

776
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: boom mic adjustable, purchased on June seventeenth, twenty nineteen. So

777
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: I've got a pretty good use out of this thing.

778
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: One hundred and ninety nine bucks. That's the exact price

779
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: I paid. It's still still the same price. Let's see.

780
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: What are some other questions here? Can you share calafees?

781
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: Can you share how to connect my home pod to

782
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: my iPhone? It keeps saying not on the same Wi Fi.

783
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: That's interesting well, you need to go through and make

784
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: sure that your iPhone before you set it up is

785
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: on the right WiFi that you want. So, I mean,

786
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: if you're what I would do is go into the

787
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: Home app on your on your home Pod and do

788
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: a reset of the whole home Pod and then set

789
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: it up again fresh and it will work. You might

790
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: also want to update the software on there, but you

791
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: can do that all through the Home app and it's

792
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: it's apples like built into the iPhone, But I would

793
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: do that. Do you prefer and then reconnect them? Santigue

794
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: eight says, do you prefer the Google Home or Amazon Echo?

795
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: That is a great question. I used to prefer the

796
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Google Home, and I still do for answers, I actually

797
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 1: run both at my house. But Amazon Echo I'm very

798
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: impressed with. I think it does a great job and

799
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: I think that it's excellent. I think it just depends.

800
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: You kind of have to be in one of those

801
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: if you're with like Ring products and you're with all

802
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: the Amazon Like Amazon has a great line of home products,

803
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: like the stuff that works with Alexa. Oh, they just

804
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: trigger everyone's stuff and so if you're shopping for those

805
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: things online, they're very inexpensive, and they work really well

806
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: and very simply, and so for that reason, I do

807
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: like kind of their home architecture system a little bit

808
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: better than the Google Home. I think Google Home is

809
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: excellent for displaying your Google photos and also controlling those

810
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: devices that do work with Google. I think the voice

811
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: commands aret it just understands everything, which I think is

812
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: really cool. Brooklyn girl says, Hey, Rich, I love watching

813
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: you Ring or Google Nest or Arlow cameras. I would

814
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: go with Ring anytime of the day. I think that

815
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: Ring is the most dedicated to the space. Arlow is

816
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: also very dedicated, and I think they're great. I just

817
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: don't have that much experience with them. And they're also

818
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: less about the cloud and more about the local storage.

819
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: So if you prefer that, then I think that that's

820
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: a good thing. But I just like Ring because they've

821
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: got a great comment donation of products. They keep coming

822
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: out with new stuff. Their security system is excellent, their

823
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: cameras are excellent. Their doorbell kind of brings it all together.

824
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, talk about a trojan horse. You have this

825
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: doorbell that they started it all with, and now they've

826
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: been able to expand into a billion dollar business because

827
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: of one great idea, So I give them a lot

828
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: of credit. Robert says, what's your favorite infomercial? Oh, my gosh,

829
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: I used to I used to love infomercials as a kid. Oh,

830
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: we're getting some some random questions. Jack says, but my

831
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: favorite the slap Chop, and I still use that is

832
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: one of mine. Set it and forget it is a

833
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: great one. Jack says, do you eat frozen pizza? What's

834
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: your favorite? Jack? We eat pizza every Monday night, and

835
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: typically we alternate between frozen and then we order and

836
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: then we also make fresh. But my frozen favorites I

837
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: actually it's kind of a random one. But it might

838
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: be the Annie's the Annie's Organic. It's I know it's

839
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 1: a it's kind of off brand, but it's I really

840
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: like those. I just I don't know. I think they're

841
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: really good. And I also like the Whole Foods Basic

842
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: three sixty five. I know, I'm so boring. Let's see,

843
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: how do I prevent my iPhone from being hacked? Shana says,

844
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: how do I prevent my iPhone from being hacked? My

845
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: job keeps hacking my phone? What can I do? Uh? Oh,

846
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: if your job is hacking your phone, I would find

847
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: a new job because they should not be doing that.

848
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: But iPhones are very tough to hack, like extremely tough

849
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: to hack. So pretty much the only way I know

850
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: of hacking an iPhone is through a plug in which

851
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 1: you can plug. You know, if you're plugging your iPhone

852
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: into random charging ports, that could be a problem, but

853
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: the iPhone has gotten so sophisticated that even if you

854
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: do that, it's still you would have to say trust

855
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: this device when it popped up, and you would be like, wait,

856
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: why am I trusting a computer when I'm plugging it

857
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: into charge. The other way is by clicking a link

858
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: in an I message that could be malicious and install

859
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: malicious software on your phone. That's you know. The other

860
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: way is that if your company is using a VPN

861
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: to monitor you, there is software that can monitor your phone.

862
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: So those are the three main ways that I know.

863
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: But typically iPhones are very tough to hack. They're very

864
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: secure unless you are giving someone guided access to them

865
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: or some sort of access to them. Happy Friday, set

866
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: it and forget it as classic. What's your favorite food? Oh? Easy?

867
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: Favorite food is? I mean, pizza is definitely my favorite food.

868
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: Any sort of Italian food chicken parmesan. I mean those

869
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: are like those are those are right up there. I

870
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: mean most of the food I like that's my favorite

871
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: is actually well, popcorn is also my favorite snack. But

872
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: most of my favorite foods are the worst foods for you.

873
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: You know. Steak is also one of my favorites, but

874
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: they're all like, you know, they're not the best for you.

875
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: But I'll eat other stuff. I mean, I try to

876
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: eat healthy, like ninety percent of the time or eighty percent,

877
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 1: and then the rest of the time I'll eat my stuff.

878
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: I like Lucy says, I cut the cord, butught an

879
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: inside into Should I put it upstairs TV or downstairs?

880
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: I would put it in the TV that's closest to

881
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: a window or some sort of exterior because you're gonna

882
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: want to be able to get the best signal on

883
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: that antenna. But you probably, I mean, you don't really

884
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: need that. Uh oh. We got a listener from We

885
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: got a listener from from Bill Handle on KFI asking

886
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Alejandro says, botox filler or no botox filler? Uh no

887
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: botox filler for me. But you know what, I don't judge.

888
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: If you want to have botox filler. I was, Uh,

889
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: let's just say, I'm you know, my friends are becoming

890
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: of a certain age, and especially the women, and so

891
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: apparently it's a thing in Los Angeles. I didn't realize

892
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: it was so prevalent, but it is a thing. So

893
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: if you think someone just happens to have a really

894
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: nice forehead that has no lines on it, I think again,

895
00:45:54,680 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: it's probably botox. Oh gosh, Boogie's asking, uh, Android or iPhone?

896
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: This has been an ongoing argument for years. I'm not

897
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: going to add to that argument. I think it's a

898
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: matter of personal preference. I love Android for the way

899
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: it's so customizable, but I love iPhone because it just

900
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: it helps me just do the things that I want

901
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: to do. It really helps me accomplish so much that

902
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: the Android is great, and I just love Android. I've

903
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 1: always loved Android, but the iPhone is just it's so solid.

904
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: It's like rock solid when it comes to content creation.

905
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, I mean, I could go out to

906
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: a anywhere in the world, drop me anywhere with an iPhone,

907
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: and I will create a story. I can create something

908
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: for TV, I can do social media. I can do

909
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: so much. Not that you can't do those things on Android.

910
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: The apps are there, it's just a little trickier and

911
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: it's not as smooth. But when it comes to making

912
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: your phone your own, one hundred percent like Android, the

913
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: fact that I can click the this is how I

914
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: describe an iPhone. It's almost like a minefield, right because

915
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: you're literally like, there are certain things I know not

916
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: to click. It's like, I don't want to click an

917
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: address that's highlighted because it's going to take me to

918
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: Apple Maps, and I'm like, oh, I don't use Apple Maps.

919
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: I know it's not gonna take me to Google Maps

920
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: because you can't have a default map program. It's gotten

921
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: a little bit better with that respect because they do

922
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: have default email now and they've got default web browser,

923
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: but it's still not perfect. A lot of apps are

924
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily coded to handle the third party web browsers,

925
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: and so it does cause some problems. They also used

926
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: to have a problem with logging into Google across apps

927
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 1: that now works, So iPhones come a long way. It's

928
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: somewhat customizable, but the way I see it, it's always,

929
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's always pushing you

930
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: towards what Apple offers. And you can argue that all

931
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: you want, but that's the reality of the iPhone. It

932
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: is iPhone is Apple first, it's Apple dominant, it's Apple prevalent.

933
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: And whereas on Android, you can choose the way you

934
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: want your phone to run on day one and it

935
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: will run like that over and over and over. Coop says,

936
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: recommend a computer for job searching. Any computer with a

937
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: web browser, just any computer you can find. You do

938
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: not need anything special. Get your resume, make it in

939
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: Google docs, use a resume helper to help you do it,

940
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: Get on LinkedIn, get on the job boards. You do

941
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: not need anything special to do that. All right, thanks

942
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: for the questions. We're gonna wrap up soon. But le

943
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: let's talk another story. T Mobile powers America's first five

944
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: G connected car, The BMW twenty twenty two IX and

945
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: I four are powered by T Mobile's new Baingenta drive

946
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: for BMW unlimited voice calling and unlimited data. To BMW's

947
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty bucks a month, it can turn your car into

948
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: a mobile Wi Fi hotspot. You can connect your devices.

949
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: It looks like you can share your personal cell phone number.

950
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: So it's saying don't leave you know you could leave

951
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: your phone behind. But let's be honest, who has ever

952
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: gotten into their car without their phone? I don't think anyone.

953
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's not really This whole idea of

954
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: having the hot spot in your car I think is

955
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: great if you kids, But again, it's gotten so good

956
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: with sharing your your hot spot from your iPhone or

957
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: even from your Android with your kids like they know

958
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: how to connect. I mean, do you really need to

959
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: pay an extra twenty bucks a month? I think this

960
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: is cool, but it seems like another way for automakers

961
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: and cellular companies just make more money on us. I

962
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: think that the hot spot in the car is obviously

963
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna be stronger, it's gonna have a better antenna than

964
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: your phone. It's gonna it's gonna pull in a stronger signal,

965
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: maybe be faster. But do you really need this? Probably not,

966
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean unless you're unless you're on the go, and

967
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: then it's a nice option. So if you are, you know,

968
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: a road warrior and you're always on the road and

969
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: you want to just have that standard, that solid connection

970
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: all the time, then great, I think that's awesome. It's

971
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: just nice to have options, right, But I also when

972
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: I got this story, so when I saw the history.

973
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: It just made me so sad because I already know

974
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: that here on March eighteenth, twenty twenty, and it's here's

975
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: the announcement for five G in a BMW, And I'm

976
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 1: already looking forward to ten years from now or fifteen

977
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: years when they're saying five G in BMW is going away.

978
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Five G networks are being sunseted, just like we're seeing

979
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: with the three G networks. So it's bound to happen,

980
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: That's for sure. It's bound to happen. All right, I

981
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: think I can get one more question in here and

982
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have to all right, let's see here.

983
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: Uh hello, Hope all is well going well with this craziness.

984
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: My question is most of my family of iPhones, I'm

985
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: the one that has a Samsung Note nine, Yes, an

986
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: older phone. They liked you. Was there a Note nine,

987
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: I guess, so there was one that blew up. I

988
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: think it was a seven. They like to use FaceTime

989
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: and I can't, at least I don't think I could

990
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: until I heard you talk about it on KTLAS last year.

991
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: The fact is you said there is a way to

992
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: do it. Could I trouble you? For the steps or

993
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: instructions on how to FaceTime from an iPhone to a

994
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: Samsung Slash Android. This would be appreciated and very helpful.

995
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your help. Regards, Judy, Judy, very

996
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: very simple. All you have to do is you cannot

997
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: initiate it from Android, but you can receive it. So

998
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: you have to be on the receiving end of this

999
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: FaceTime call one of your family members. All they have

1000
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: to do is generate a link, so they start a

1001
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: FaceTime call, generate the link, send that link to you,

1002
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: text it to you, You open it up in your

1003
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: web browser, and voila, you are able to FaceTime with

1004
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: your family. I would say take it a step further

1005
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: and get your family to install something like Google Duo

1006
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 1: and stop with this madness of the stuff that doesn't

1007
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: work cross platform. I cannot stand apps that don't work

1008
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: cross platform. Every single app that I use, with the

1009
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: exception of I Message, works across every single platform, and

1010
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: I want it that way because that's the way tech

1011
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: should be. Tech should not be exclusive, it should be

1012
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: inclusive of everyone. I hate the fact that when you

1013
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: text someone from an Android phone to an iPhone it

1014
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: comes up green. Why Apple, it should not be happening.

1015
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: Why should you delineate your friends? Why are you helping

1016
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: me delineate my friends from one another. Let's just make

1017
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: this even right, Let's make it equal, make it nice

1018
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: for everyone that's not happening in our world. Okay, I

1019
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: go off, sorry about that. Okay. Finally, one last story.

1020
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: Chipotle is testing a robot in the kitchen called Chippy.

1021
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: Chippy is the latest autonomous kitchen assistant that is from

1022
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: Miso Robotics. The same guy, the same people behind Flippy

1023
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: the robot are the burger Flipper and Flippy. Okay, So

1024
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: Chippy is going to be making the chips at Chipotle,

1025
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: and so I love stories like this, and this is

1026
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: the best part about it. Chippy was programmed to make

1027
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: the chips like a human would make the chips. So

1028
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: it's going to mix up the chips with salt, it's

1029
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: going to cook them in sunflower oil. It's going to

1030
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: then dust them with salt and finish with a hint

1031
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:58,959
Speaker 1: of lime juice. And they actually programmed Chippy to make

1032
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: it so that these are not going to be perfect chips.

1033
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: Every single time. There's going to be a variation of

1034
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: the chip. And I did not realize this until reading

1035
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: this story, that when I go to Chipotle, what do

1036
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: I look forward to the most that chip that has

1037
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: like the extra seasoning on it and the extra lime

1038
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: juice on it, like that extra little kick a lime.

1039
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that they program for that. So

1040
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 1: now they're programming, they're artificial intelligence to do these things

1041
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 1: like that. Now, yes, I have put in a request

1042
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: to Chipotle to go test this out because I love

1043
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: Chipotle chips. And yes, it's just one of these things

1044
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: where it's gonna happen. And you know, I'm already seeing

1045
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: the messages of people saying, Rich, there goes more jobs.

1046
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about it. I cover

1047
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's just the reality of the food industry.

1048
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: The food industry is at a very very tough crossroads

1049
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: right now because labor is very expensive at restaurants and

1050
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: the technology is getting to a place where it can

1051
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: automate certain tasks that humans used to do. And the

1052
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: only thing I can say on the plus side is

1053
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 1: that I know these companies tell me that, oh, yeah, Rich,

1054
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna put more people in the uh, you know,

1055
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: interfacing with guests. And I can say to that yeah, right.

1056
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: Have you been to it a target lately? Have you

1057
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: seen the self checkouts? There used to be a person

1058
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: when self checkouts first started, there used to be a

1059
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: person standing there for everyone that was self checking out. Now,

1060
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: good luck finding that person. They're just not there. You're

1061
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: self checking out, and it's just the way of the world.

1062
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: The only thing I can say on the on the

1063
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: backside is that there are a lot of smart, very

1064
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: well paid people that that will make a lot of

1065
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: money programming these robots and maintaining them and working on them,

1066
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: so that, I guess is the silver lining. I know

1067
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not the you know, the job that

1068
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: the the young kid that's in high school or whatever

1069
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: can just go run in and get and make the

1070
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: chips at Chipotle. But it's just we're a changing world

1071
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: and these companies are going to do anything they can

1072
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: to increase profit. It's just the reality of it. If

1073
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: that involves I'm making this sound bad for Chipotle. I

1074
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: think it's awesome. I'm excited about it. I think it's

1075
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: really cool. I can't wait to test it out. But

1076
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm just explaining to you that our world is changing

1077
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: and robots are a very big part of that world.
