So well it's been 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.400 I think that was only sixteenth, so it's been about 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:58.880 four weeks. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.680 Yeah, And I mean I've left house a bunch. Have 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.440 you left the house? 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.200 Yeah, just to like go to the market. But I haven't, 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.720 like this week, I haven't left the house where I 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.000 go on walks every day. Does that count as leaving 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:12.600 the house? 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.080 Ah, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, that that helps. I mean 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.840 I feel like my entire neighborhood is walking. Have you 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.120 noticed that that? Oh yeah, everyone is walking. It's like 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.200 the only thing you can do. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.760 The one thing I have noticed is in my neighborhood 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.679 people think that if they're running, they don't have to 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.440 wear a mask. Like every runner I see no mask, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.119 and I'm always like, yeah, no, I don't like most people, 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.039 Oh you haven't, Oh I don't. 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.720 I don't wear them on walks either. I only wear them, 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.360 like the only the only thing you're supposed to do 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:47.920 is wear them when you go to the grocery, to 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.360 a store, to a business. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.200 Really, every like everyone I see out walking, they're all 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:53.800 wearing masks. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.320 Well yeah, a lot of people are doing that. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.920 I mean it's not required at this point, so I 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.560 mean I will do it if it's required, but until then, 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.040 I will not do that. Yeah, because I just a 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:05.880 I don't. I think it'd be really tricky. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.920 To run with a mask. But yeah, I see, I 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:09.120 see kind of half in half. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.680 It's you know, it's I think it depends on also 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.320 your personal comfort level with what's going on. 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.760 Yeah. No, I've just had runners like zoom by me 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.320 and they like, no mask, and I'm like, come on, like, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.280 you can't do that, you know, I like that. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.080 So I don't know. I guess I'm in that you 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.280 don't do that. No, I do do that, Like I'm. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.240 I'm wow, one of those. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.560 Yeah, but I don't really understand because like there's no 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.120 requirement for the masks outside, so I. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.359 Just like in the grocery sure, yeah. 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.080 Yeah, the only my parents make me wear a mask 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.200 or like you have to wear a mask outside, well, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.360 if you're going to be like if you're walking and 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.640 there's like other people around, Like that's what I thought. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.280 I don't know, No, I haven't heard that. 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.360 I know at businesses, like it is required at businesses, 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.280 so that's the only only place I know it's required. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.320 I do think that's going to change. I probably. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.840 I think it's going to changed to outside in general 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.360 in the next you know, probably in the next couple 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.320 of weeks, if they decide to do that. I don't know, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.919 but I did go to the grocery store yesterday at 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.520 Trader Joe's, and I will tell you it used to 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.440 be really fun to go to the grocery store, and 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.040 now it is the worst experience because it's depressing. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:19.240 It's sad. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.680 People are acting like everyone has you know, these crazy 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.080 like it Like you said, when people like are jogging 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.079 past you, you just assume like, oh, I'm gonna get 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.400 something like that's the way everyone's acting now, And I 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:31.760 get it. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.560 You have to be prepared and kind of on guard. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.160 But at the grocery store it's like people are just 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.640 really being weird. So and then you have to go 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.040 into the grocery store and you have to walk like 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:43.880 a certain way. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.800 So anyway, it was not fun yesterday. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.680 And then I got yelled at the at the cashier 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.480 because I wasn't standing in the red box that I 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:50.520 was supposed to be standing in. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.800 That also happened to be at home depot. So I'm 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:55.040 going to. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.520 Start looking at all floor markings when I check out 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.960 from now on because I'm getting checked a lot. Well, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.960 let's talk about the big story of the week besides coronavirus. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.680 And this was very smart for Apple to do this 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.400 at this time. It's been a long time rumor, it's 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:14.880 finally happening. The iPhone S is a real iPhone and 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.839 the price could not be better. Three hundred and ninety 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.280 nine dollars, which just blows everyone else out of the 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:27.479 water because you cannot get a phone for three hundred 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.320 and ninety nine dollars new. You also can't get a 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.880 phone of iPhone quality for three hundred and ninety nine dollars. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.200 So the fact that Apple is doing this is brilliant. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.159 They could have sold this phone for four ninety nine 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.800 and people would have been happy with that. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.839 Three ninety nine is really amazing. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.719 Now, with that said, I'm not saying that Apple is 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.839 doing us a favor by coming out with this phone, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.400 because it's a design that's been around for years. This 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.719 is the iPhone eight with new insides, so they already 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.000 had the outside. The screen is old news. There's nothing 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.200 new about the screen, the touch id that's on it. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.880 It's got the home button that's not new. So basically, 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.960 they didn't have to invent anything for this phone. They 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.719 just took parts from other devices and just popped it 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.960 into this phone and they can sell it at a 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:16.279 pretty good price. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:17.880 The only thing. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.159 That could be new or similar to I mean, or 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.440 kind of modified or they had to work on is 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.479 the camera, because it's not the same camera that's in 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.200 the iPhone eleven. It's not the old camera. It's kind 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.120 of a mix of those things. So this is a 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.600 four point seven inch HD screen. It's got touch ID 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.680 like I said, which means there is a home button 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.360 and there's I don't think it has face ID obviously, 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.680 because that would be totally different. But the cool thing is, Megan, 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.920 that this has the top of the line A thirteen chip, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.360 which is the same chip you get in the iPhone eleven, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.360 so you're not sacrificing any speed on this. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.680 Device, which crazy. 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.000 I think it's pretty cool. So black, white, and red. Friday, 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.560 April seventeenth is the pre order date and it will 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.800 be in hands on April twenty fourth. It does have 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.640 wireless charging, by the way, and for that three ninety 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.960 nine price, it's sixty four gigabytes, so personally I would 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.800 bump up to the one twenty eight gigs. If you 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.760 follow me on Twitter, you know that I've filled up 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:24.320 my iPhone at two hundred and fifty six. I am 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.600 totally filled up. And it's sad to me, Megan, because 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.120 I don't want to. I have Google Photos and I 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:32.680 can do that thing where it frees up all the 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.120 space by deleting all the photos off my phone. But 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.040 it's like really sad to me to do that because 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.800 I like having all my photos on there, or all 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.520 the photos I've taken in recent months. But anyway, so 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.400 this thing is gonna sell bananas. I can't imagine a 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.120 better selling phone in the next twelve months. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.680 I can't believe the price, Like it's so it's so crazy, Like. 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.200 Remember when your father was in the market for a 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.080 new phone. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.640 And been the phone he should have gone. 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.200 Right, this would have been the phone. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.520 This is the phone for so many people that don't 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.200 necessarily need the best, and even not saying it's the best, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:14.040 this is really I will say, there's almost nothing on 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.040 this device that I can fall apple for now I'm 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.840 saying all that without having it in hand yet, so 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.880 I don't know. Maybe when I get this thing, I'm like, oh, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.320 this screen is terrible or it's not as fast as 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.120 I think because they use some sort of old memory. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.480 But the fact that it's got the best processor on 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.640 it and a pretty good camera and at this price, 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.360 I can't really imagine a better deal. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:35.400 So I'm impressed. 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.120 At what what's the camera comparable to? 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.320 Well, we don't know because they just kind of mixed. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.800 They said they they just mixed a whole bunch of 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.600 camera technology, so it sounds like it's old and new. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.239 So we don't know yet until we actually take pictures 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.000 with it how good it is or how bad it 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.240 is compared to the iPhone eleven. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.440 But I think it's going to be just fine, to 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:57.840 be honest. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.320 If you're spending four hundred bucks on a phone and 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.480 you're getting all this stuff, I think the camera is 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.720 going to be just fine. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.560 Yeah, yeah, cool, that's you. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.520 Okay, So our first question can you hear that sound 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:13.480 when I did that? 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.800 Yeah? I heard it. Yeah. Our first question comes from 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.880 f Eff. I read your article on Zoom Alternatives. Why 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.600 didn't you mention go to meeting dot com? I used WebEx, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.720 but it's hard to use when others are not comfortable 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.880 on their computer. I needed a service. I could just 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.240 send a link to participate, no codes or software. Right, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.480 go to meeting dot com. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.439 Good question and the reason I did not put go 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.800 to meeting in my roundup. I got a lot of 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.000 angry emails from folks when I did that. Do you 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.120 remember the story we did on the Zoom alternatives? 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:51.719 We did that, yeah last week? 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.520 Yeah, it was last week, so yeah, lots of em 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.960 That was a very popular story, by the way, but 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.520 the emails I got were so angry. People are like, well, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.040 how came you to include this? And how can you 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:02.600 include that? 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:03.200 Number one? 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.720 I said seven alternatives or six alternati. I didn't say 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.600 every alternative I can't make. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.240 We also didn't say the best ever like that. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.520 I didn't say, you know, but now, And these are 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.200 the things that I don't get to talk about on 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.640 TV because I'm on for like, you know, a minute thirty. 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.200 I can't necessarily explain every reasoning behind every story. But 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.959 what I do is behind the scenes, I put a 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.280 lot of effort and research and prep into my segments 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.319 so that when you see them on TV, they are 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.640 the information that I think you need to know, kind 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.840 of like this podcast. And the reality is I did 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.720 go through a whole bunch of alternatives, and I pared 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.400 them down to what I thought was a good mix 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.880 of alternatives for the people watching. And let me explain 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.520 what that means. Yes, go to meeting is a good alternative, 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.520 but it's not one of the alternatives I want to include, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.080 because the number one thing about go to meeting is 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.120 that there is no free tier. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.400 And that was the Bob Online. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:05.120 Now maybe you could try it free for seven days. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.800 But again, I'm doing a segment that is broadcast across 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.079 a whole bunch of stations nationwide, and there are people 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.840 watching that are trusting the information that I'm giving them, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.840 and I have to give them information fast, quick and 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:18.680 in a simple way. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.959 And I did the research, and so when I. 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.640 Looked at go to meeting the problem is I just 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:28.079 didn't really see a free solution there. And so of course, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.800 now that I'm seeing this, it does say there is 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:31.400 a free one. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:36.640 So now, okay, sorry, I love the honesty. 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:43.040 Okay, so unlimited free online meetings. But I'm curious what. Okay, 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.880 so here's what they offer for free. And now I'm 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.360 just seeing this, and this could be new based on coronavirus, right, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.440 So they're offering up to three participants for free, up 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.040 to forty minutes. So again that's not necessarily what I 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.840 wanted to do. I wanted things that were free for 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:06.200 you know, a lot of people, and just the most 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.560 universal things that I think I could recommend. So Go 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.520 to Meetings was not included because mainly it costs money, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.800 and that's kind of the main reason. Now I'm not 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.400 saying it's bad, but again, like you said, I'm just 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.320 giving people a bunch of options, and that was these 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.000 were the options that I felt were the best for 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:21.840 my segment. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:22.600 And I did a mix. 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.720 You know, we did that one called house Party, which 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.040 is kind of a fun one. Then we did one yeah, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.959 we did Skype, which you know, I did the pros 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:29.880 and cons. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.320 Of each, So if you had to pick your favorite 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.160 and then your least favorite from the ones that we did. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:38.160 My favorite. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.240 It turns out that Zoom Actually there is a reason 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.920 why Zoom took off the way it did. 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.520 It works really well. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.960 And I will say I will talk about another one 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.000 that I will reveal later in the show that we 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.240 tested that I actually think is really cool. It's only 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.080 one on one, but I think that Zoom is the 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:58.720 best option for most people. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.480 I don't like the forty men limit. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.160 Have you come up against that in your like, yeah, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.199 like a friend's happy hour or something. The first time 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.080 I came up against it, it was kind of annoying because 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.600 I thought I could just hop out and my friend 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:11.120 could take over and then I could hop back in. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.000 That did not work. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.000 So we did have to disconnect and reconnect, which I 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.200 thought was a little annoying. But I'm not paying fifteen 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:18.080 bucks a month right now. 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.760 Do you the least favorite out of the list. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.280 My least favorite? 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.680 I think FaceTime is just I never really liked FaceTime 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:28.719 and I'm still not. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.800 A fan of it. 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.120 It's just it's too annoying. 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.480 It's too confusing, it's too like I don't really understand 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.600 what number I'm calling with people, and it's like too limiting. 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.720 I just don't like it, and it's weird when there's 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.000 multiple people the way Yeah the boxes move like it's 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:50.320 distracting and we don't need things to like move around 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.080 for a video conference. Yeah. 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.680 I think what I like about Zoom the most is 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.840 the format. Like what if folks are watching on Facebook 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.040 Live right now, the format is is just side by 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.880 side if you want, if you have two people. I 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.600 like how it just moves depending on how many people 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.160 you have. And they also have that view where the 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.199 person that's talking is like big and then everyone else 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.440 is small. But I kind of like just keeping everyone 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.440 in the same size all the time and you see 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.960 who's talking because they're highlighted. 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.480 Yeah, all right, let's move on to the next story. 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.040 Another phone that launched this week, and. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.640 A long time ago when I did my tech segment, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.319 I used to compare every phone that was Android against 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.480 the iPhone. And now I just don't do that anymore, because, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.439 you know what, the reality is not everyone's comparing against 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.080 the iPhone. Most people are sort of in their bucket 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.400 of iOS. They're sticking with Apple or they're sticking with Android. 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.880 I don't really see as many people wanting to switch 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.160 anymore these days. It used to be always like people 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.760 would be like, hey, Rich, I get the Samsung and 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.080 ditch the iPhone. I don't get that question anymore. I 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.280 really don't very rarely. So there's a new phone. It's 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:58.079 the one plus one plus eight Pro. And I will 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.280 say this is probably my favorite Android phone of the year. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.160 It's it's a great device. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.000 I think there is one major problem with this device, 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.400 and it is the edges of the screen are curved, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.520 and it makes it not only tough to hold, but 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.560 really annoying because I'm always touching something on the screen 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:18.720 that I don't mean to touch. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:20.720 And it's a weird. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.080 Yeah, it's a really weird thing that iPhones have never 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.640 had that problem. And when you use an Android, they 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.800 always seem to have that problem, and this one has 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:28.960 it really bad. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.280 And it's kind of annoying. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.560 Other than that, this is the best phone out there 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.520 that you can get for Android. I will tell you why. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.520 Number one, It's a great size, got a big screen. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.200 It's got a really high quality screen one hundred and 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.080 twenty hurts refresh rate, which means that it is so 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.280 buttery smooth you will not believe it. It's got a 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.360 great processor, it's got a ton of memory, ton of ram. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:53.280 The camera. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.240 Every time I've done a OnePlus story in the past, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.000 I always said, well, the camera is just okay. This 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.240 time the the camera is fantastic. I mean it really, 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.000 truly is a fantastic camera. I wish the colors popped 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.840 a little bit more, and especially on the front facing camera, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.520 everything looks very washed out. Some people might like that 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.120 because it makes your skin look better, but I don't know. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.120 It's it's one of those things where I just wish 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.360 it had better color. It's got wireless charging for the 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.840 first time, it's got water resistance for the first time 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.240 on a OnePlus, and the price is pretty amazing. Eight 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.400 hundred and ninety nine dollars, and I get it. I'm 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.160 not recommending anyone purchase anything right now during this uncertain 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.640 time of jobs and work and all this stuff. But 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.680 for eight hundred and ninety nine dollars if you did 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.480 have money saved up for a phone, that's a great 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:42.280 price for what you're getting. Because I would compare this 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.240 phone to the Samsung Galaxy S twenty, which is thirteen 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.000 hundred and ninety nine dollars, and this phone, I think 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.680 is a better phone. The only other thing I will 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.440 say I don't like about it is the haptics on it. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.560 So and haptics, Megan, is when your phone vibrates when 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:58.960 you touch something on screen. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:00.320 Do you know what I'm talking out? 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.520 The iPhone does it best, The Samsung Galaxy S twenty 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.720 does it really well. This phone does not do it 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.960 well at all. And it's really sad to me because 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.480 it's kind of it's not a deal breaker, but it's 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.680 just one of those things where like it's very like 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.400 flimsy feeling, and I'm like, this is a great phone, 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:22.440 Why does the haptic feel so flimsy? Otherwise one plus 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.200 eight pro I think is fantastic. They also launched another phone, 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.600 the one plus eight and that's six hundred and ninety 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.920 nine dollars. I thought that was a great phone, a 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.320 great little device, but now I can't recommend it with 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:35.880 an iPhone at three ninety nine. 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.160 Three ninety nine, iPhone will be. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.360 The device that I recommend for the next inforeseeable future 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:43.560 for the average person. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.640 I can't really imagine once you review it. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:47.480 I don't even think I need to review it. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.600 I think that you're like, I know, I've trust that nice. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.960 I mean, it's like, it's like, I just can't imagine 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.360 a better product for the average person who just wants 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:01.000 a good phone, because not only are you getting the iPhone, 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.479 you're getting iOS, You're getting all the great apps that 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.600 work along with it, all the accessories that work with iPhone. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:13.760 You're getting things like the Apple Watch and air Uh 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:18.359 what is it not Airplay? What's the thing when you 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:19.120 send stuff to. 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.680 H Airdrop, I get think of it. You know what 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.680 I'm saying. You get the whole kit and kaboodle. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:33.359 You get the whole situation. Okay. Next question comes from 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:38.160 Troy hi Rich. Hope You're well, what's your favorite travel 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.040 size blue tooth speaker? 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.439 That's a good question. It's funny. 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.640 I half the time I go to a hotel room, 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.600 I bring a speaker, and half the time I forget 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.760 to bring my speaker. So I in the times I forget, 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.360 I just use my phone. But when I do bring 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.720 a speaker, I always love having a speaker in my 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:00.840 hotel room because it's just nice to have that music 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.879 that sounds a little bit better than coming off your 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:09.840 phone speaker. So my favorite is the Ultimate Ears Logitech. 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.280 Ultimate Ears is to me the little speaker that I 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.720 have been bringing around for a while because it's small, 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.440 it's simple, and it's easy, and they make a whole 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.639 bunch of different ones. But the one that I've been 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.440 taking around the most in the past couple of years 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.199 has been called the Wonder Boom, and it's it's not 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:27.960 that expensive. 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.040 I think it's like sixty nine bucks. Depending on when 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:30.600 you get it's. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.560
