Oh and I felt 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.000 back as some people were like kind of asking me 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.200 about their Cyber Monday and Black Friday shopping and I 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.000 couldn't get to all of them. 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.040 I just couldn't. So some people were like, thanks, Rich, 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.880 I already bought whatever I asked you about. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.720 I was like, sorry, but we had a great time. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.760 We did four hours on the radio on KFI in 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.920 Los Angeles, So thanks to KFI for letting me do 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.080 that and Megan was there and we had a great time. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.880 Yeah, it was really fun. Felt like one hour. 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:16.960 What was your highlight of that. I know, your cousin 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:17.440 or your. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.560 Uncle, Maddie, that was probably the highlight. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.040 I got my uncle we call him crazy Uncle Matt, 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.920 and he called in and he wasn't that crazy on air. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:28.800 But he was pretty good though. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.000 I could see you could feel that, yes, I could. 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.840 I could see. He was like an onion. There was 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:33.640 a lot of layers. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.800 He's from New York and he wears shorts to like Christmas, 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.160 Eve and Thanksgiving. He really doesn't really he doesn't care 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.000 much about looking super fancy. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.000 And he's really fun and hysterical. 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.440 And I called my sister, who is like a vegan 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.320 and she's a health nut and it's so funny. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.400 I got so many emails about that too. They were like, 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880 I love your sister. She's so great. I have a 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.040 brother that's vegan or whatever, and like, I love the 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:57.760 back and forth. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.440 She should get a podcast. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.160 I gave her a hard time about, you know, her 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.200 eating and stuff, because it's just it's just interesting to me, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.600 Like I try to eat healthy, but it's like really 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.880 very healthy. I just had four peanut butter chocolate oreos 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.920 in the newsroom. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.200 Like four donuts. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.200 No, I wish. I'm really trying to stay off the 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.040 donuts at this point. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.919 But anyway, so she you know, so like I try, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.040 but she actually delivers, like she really does eat healthy 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.520 like and the stuff that she eats, it's like I 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.680 can't imagine, Like to me, like if I eat a 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.640 healthy lunch, I immediately go to the cabinet and get 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.119 like a whole bag of M and ms and eCos. Yes, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.400 like I punctuate all healthy meals with like something really bad. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:35.880 I'm the same, and it's just weird. 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.919 I don't know why I have. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.720 To do that oat meal. Then I'm like, okay, you 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.200 can have hot cheetos now, right. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.080 So anyway, uh so we got lots of questions. You 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.280 have some queued up for the show? 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.480 Yeah, I do. I have a lot. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.680 Actually, well we'll get to those in a moment. But 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.920 first let's start with this a new rumor about the 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:57.440 next iPhone. Maybe it might be completely wireless. So first 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.440 they remove the headphone jack everyone's talking about. Maybe they're 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.680 going to take the lightning off and put on a USBC. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.000 But ming chi quo, this noted analyst that always seems 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.919 to get it right, says that he thinks the highest 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.200 end model in the twenty twenty one lineup is going 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.200 to be completely wireless. Now, by the way, that's not 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.760 next year, that's the next year, So we do have 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:18.520 a year to like. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.679 Get used to this idea. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.240 But if you look at Apple's past, and you look 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.560 at the computer I'm on right now, there's no CD drive, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.960 there's no DVD drive, there's there is a headphone jack, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.560 there's no micro SD cards. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:30.760 Saw. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.480 All these things that we used to have on laptops 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.760 are all gone. Yeah, And every time they went away, 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.920 people cried. And now I've been using this like this 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.560 for years and I still cry when I. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.280 Do, I still cry. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.160 I do cry because it is annoying. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.480 Sometimes they just simplify. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.800 They simplify, but to a level that like we're not 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.800 like the average person's not ready yet. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.080 Yeah, I agree. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.600 I mean I missed the headphone jack. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.640 Sometimes there are just times when you want to plug 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:54.560 in a headphone. Yeah. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:04:00.160 So the twenty twenty lineup, according to this prediction, is 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.680 a four point seven inch LCD screen, which will be 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.560 the kind of part of the iPhone se like that 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.560 small one a five point four inch OLED screen. Oh, 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.960 they're going all O lead now except for that tiny one, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.760 a six point one inch O lead, another six point 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.119 one inch O lead, and then another six point seven 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:19.960 inch O lead, which is kind of like the flagship 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.599 with triple cameras. So it looks like kind of the 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.760 main thing is for next year. It doesn't look like 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.479 there's gonna be that much difference, except for the fact 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.520 that they might use a USB. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.599 C on the bottom of the phone. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.680 But otherwise it seems like the triple camera is kind 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.159 of gonna stay. Triple camera is gonna move to like, 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.800 you know, the top of the end phones, or stay 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.400 on the top of end phones, but there's gonna be 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.560 more on the bottom end, so it seems like the 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.520 lower end there'll be more to choose from. Okay, and 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.080 the lower end continues to get better because the screens are. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.200 Better, right, So that's great. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.359 Yeah, I mean it just continues to kind of go along. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.520 The iPhone is now at this point where it's tough 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.800 to innovate within a big way, like because we have 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.120 pretty much everything we want on it, and I think 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.080 there's more that people can always want, like battery. But 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.479 I mean, if you think about my phone, like my 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.120 iPhone eleven Pro Max, I would say five nights out 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.840 of the week, I am going to bed and this 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.880 is at like seventy to eighty percent battery. 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.480 Wait what, I'm a whole from not trickle charging. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:20.520 Well, I do charge. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.040 I would say probably once throughout the day, like when 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.000 I'm driving in my car. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:24.560 But that's it. 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.840 And I'm talking I've gone through a whole day, and 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.719 like even on like days where I'm using my phone 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.599 a ton. I mean, the battery on this thing is 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:31.360 crazy good. 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:32.520 It really just is. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.440 That's amazing. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.520 Anyway, let's get to your first question, Megan. 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.919 All right, so this first question comes from Paul and 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.680 he actually wrote this on your Facebook page, which is 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:47.640 Facebook dot com slash rich on Tech looks like Apple 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.680 slash Goldman Sachs just started reporting to credit agencies today, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.600 prompting all the credit monitoring companies I employ to report 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.599 suspicious activity on my account. When I called gold Sacks, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.040 they said people had been calling about the credit alerts 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.799 all day, no email warning or anything. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.360 This is interesting because so you know the Apple card, 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.080 this is Apple's credit card that they issued with Goldman Sacks. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.520 And the thing is they kind of thought differently from 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.880 like your standard credit card. But I guess in the 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.360 beginning they were not. They were not reporting to credit 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.680 agencies your activity on this card, which for some people's good, 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.799 some people it's bad. So for the good, it's basically, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.359 you know, if you're late on a payment or something like, 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.040 I guess it wouldn't really matter. I don't really I mean, 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.599 there's no late payments on that card, so I don't 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.320 really know how that would impact you. But now that 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.279 they're reporting and or on the flip side, the bad 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.880 part of that is that if you're trying to build credit, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.440 you wouldn't be building it with that card because they're 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.320 not reporting. You'd be spending a whole bunch of money 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.080 every month and doing everything right, and your credit report 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.000 doesn't reflect that because Apple wasn't reporting it, or I 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.279 guess Goldman Sacks. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.839 So now it started. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.360 Now they just started, So I guess this guy has 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.840 all of his alerts from all these different credit reporting 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.120 agencies saying like, hey, make sure you tell me when 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.840 something goes on my credit report, and he's like. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.800 Bing, mgm mming. So I guess that's probably a good 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.080 thing and it was inevitable. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.760 We know, why did they do that just to get 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:13.400 people to. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.320 Be like, oh, you know what, I don't know. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.320 I think maybe it was just a system they you know. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.960 Maybe I don't know like why they did it. Maybe 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.920 they just wanted they just didn't care at the beginning. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.400 Oh here that they didn't warn anyone. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.120 Yeah, it did something. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:26.960 Well I think you knew. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.960 I think if look, if you if you read the 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.600 terms and conditions when you signed up, I guarantee you 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.240 In there it says we will begin reporting to the 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.360 credit agencies or we have the right to report to 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.400 their credit agency. So I'm sure it was in there somewhere. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.960 But now that it started, be warned. So if you 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.360 are late with a payment, they might not charge you 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:51.080 for that lateness, but they might actually report. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.520 That yeah, and your credit could be affected. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.760 Have you ever been late on a payment? 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.840 No? No, I haven't. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:57.280 You know what. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.200 I was late on a payment this month for the 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.680 first time and I think almost a decade, so I 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.920 actually totally forgot to pay my water bill, my water 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.440 and electricity, and so all of a sudden on Thanksgiving Day, 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.720 I get I think it was a text. 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.640 Or an email from like Element Automatic. No, I don't 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.320 do any automatic bills. Oh you don't know. I don't 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:18.880 do anything. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.480 The only automatic bills I do are like Netflix, the 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.160 things that are required to be automatic. But anything else, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.880 like any bill I have, I always pay manually because 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.080 I want the right to have the option. Like with 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.400 my water bill, especially it could be hundreds of dollars. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.560 I want to make sure it's okay, and even if 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:36.880 it isn't, like what am I gonna do? It'll be 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.640 like I think I use five gallons instead of a 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:39.480 thousand that you said. 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:39.760 Yeah. 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.000 Anyway, So I got a text during Thanksgiving dinner. I'm 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.280 like looking at my phone, like this thing comes in. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.400 It's like, we are disconnecting your service within like five 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:48.480 days if you don't pay your bill. 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.880 I'm like, what do you get charged to it? They 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.839 did not charge me, I guess cause my first time 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:53.280 or whatever. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.840 But so I went on and I paid like immediately, 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:57.800 but I was like, I literally just totally forgot, Like 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.240 I got the bill in the mail and I just 0:08:59.320 --> 0:08:59.960 totally forgot. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.720 So it can happen. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.280 I mean for my credit cards, I have it on automatic, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.520 but I still manually want to go in and do 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.640 it myself because I want to like see what's going 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.920 on versus just like completely forgetting about it. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:11.200 You know. 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.199 Yeah, Yeah, it's nice. It's nice to have. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.480 A little manual control because then you're more kind of 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.360 in control of what happens, right, Yeah, I guess that's 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:19.920 the main thing anyway. Good to know I don't have 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:20.800 the Apple credit card. 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.199 I don't either, so. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:24.360 I don't have that. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.800 I don't know why I wanted it when it first 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.920 came out, because it just like seemed cool and then I. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.520 Was like, yeah, I'm good. 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:30.920 Yeah. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.520 My thing about it is that I do have one 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.439 credit card. I actually don't have it linked up to 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.560 Apple Pay. I use my debit card with that. But 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.079 there's no difference, Like to me, it's like I already 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.240 have a card in Apple Pay. There's what's the difference 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.800 between having the Apple card or my other card? Like 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.400 it's to me, it's literally the same thing except my 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.480 other card. The money comes out of my bank account immediately, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.400 so don't have to think about it. Like it's I 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.240 know that I have the money to spend, Like I'm 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.280 a big like I want to make sure I have 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.960 the money to spend before I buy stuff. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.480 Yeah, and so if I'm good, yeah, it is. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:02.720 It's that's very smart. 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.080 Well, it took me a lot of learning to figure 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.480 that out, because back in the day, I would when 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.320 it's a credit card, it's a swipe and it just 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:10.760 goes through and oh my gosh. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.840 Worry about the bill later. And believe me, that only 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:13.520 worked out for a. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:14.120 Few years for me. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.640 It catches up to definitely caught up to me. Yeah, 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.400 so but I'm good now, Yeah, I know you're chilling. No, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.840 I'm okay, but back, oh my gosh, not so good. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:24.280 Uh for a while. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:25.760 Actually, there's a point when I couldn't get a credit 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.280 card because that's how bad my credit was. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.120 Oh no, but you have a house now, yeah. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.280 Now I have a house. Oh look it all worked out. Well. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.000 I feel like if you have bad credit, like you 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.640 never can get out. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.800 No, it was it was so he did I did? 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.080 I think it was like seven years wait, not like 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.360 I had bankruptcy, but it was just like so bad 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.559 that literally the only company that would give me a 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.480 credit card was Capital One, and it gave me a 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.320 five hundred dollars credit line out of every company. So 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.960 I should have a Capital one credit card to this 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.920 day because they were so kind and like, yeah, helping 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.200 me out back in the day when nobody else would give. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:56.360 Me a card. 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.520 That's a that's a good like uh, what's it called? 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.760 Like tip? Yeah, if you're a part for credit. 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.199 Check because they helped you out, I should but I 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:06.520 don't know. 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.360 But look at me, I didn't. I don't have them 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:09.800 anymore my wallet. 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.880 So Also, there's another podcast that I was listening to 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.200 like the other day, and she her name is Stossy 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.520 from Bravo okay, and she makes a ton of money, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.559 but like recently now she can actually look into getting 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.640 houses because her credit has been horrible. 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:25.440 For like ten years. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.600 Oh wow. Yeah. It definitely like it's all paperwork. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.520 Like it's like literally, it's like it's no matter how 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.120 good you are, if something happened, it's like sorry, we're 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.000 not Like banks are just not going to take that risk. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.520 All right, let's talk about T Mobile. They are taking 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.560 a risk, not really, I guess not first five G 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:45.679 network nationwide five G and it is lit up. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.360 They've got it all over America. 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.440 They got two hundred million people covered more than a 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.199 million square miles and. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:54.120 This is it. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.440 They are first out of the gate with five G 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.520 in a very big, meaningful way. Now what does this 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.480 mean for you? Because you are gonna be seeing a 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.000 lot of commercials, a lot of hype about five G 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.199 from T Mobile. Full disclosure, I have not tested this network, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.360 so I cannot tell you if it's good, if it's bad, 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.960 if it's somewhere in between. But I will tell you this, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.400 you probably don't need to go out and jump on 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.760 this network today. Anything that's brand new, especially when it 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.760 comes to technology, you don't necessarily need to be on 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.040 there day day one because even though they've built this 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.600 out and I'm sure it's fine, it's not gonna be 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.760 as robust as the networks that you're used to. And 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.400 five G, when you think about it, sounds really fast. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.320 But from what I'm reading, T Mobile decided to go with. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.880 There's two flavors of five G. There's like super fast, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.200 but it doesn't travel very far, and that's called millimeter wave. 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.800 And then there's more broad spectrum where it goes further 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.800 or it travels further but. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:53.720 It's not as fast. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.120 They went with that kind, so that's how they're able 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.160 to get such wide swaths of coverage. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:12:59.559 Versus like Verizon. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.439 If you go and look at their five G maps 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.079 for like Chicago or La or LA is non existent. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.400 But like Chicago, it's literally like a park that has 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.800 five G or like a street that has five G. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.480 It's really small areas. 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.480 So if you're outside in that park, you'll get five 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.160 G as soon as you go into that building that's 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.360 right there, no five G. So there's two phones that 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.080 work with T Mobile right now. It is the one 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.920 plus seven T Pro five G. McLaren say that five 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.880 times fast and this. Yeah, McLaren is the car company. 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.959 They do the one plus teams with them to like 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:36.120 make these super fast phones. Basically Samsung Galaxy Note ten 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.439 plus five G and those are the two phones. So 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.800 they tap into the six hundred megahertz five G spectrum 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.000 and they're also capable of using sprints five G spectrum 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.600 once the merger closes. So I don't think that it's 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.840 that bad. But I don't think there's an impetus to 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.760 jump on this right now. I don't think that you 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.000 really need to do that. Yeah, if you're not, I 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.600 think that the speeds are just fine from what I'm reading. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.280 Let's see c NEET tested it in Maui, I guess 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.440 with the five G and. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.240 Let's see uhi. Yeah, so I didn't want to talk 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.040 about this. It's a little source subject. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.839 But basically Qualcom, who makes all the chips and the phones, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:23.040 they fly out all these journalists, well sorry, not necessarily journalists. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:24.680 They fly out. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.320 Tech tech influencers. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:31.120 Yeah, influencers to like Maui every year, tastemakers, taste makers, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.640 and so here's and this is you know, I don't 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.760 want to knock them because like I get it, and 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.240 we've we've done trips before, like we've done press trips 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.240 where a company will host us and so I'm I'm 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.480 not sitting here throwing glass you know what is it 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.320 rocks in a glasshouse. Yeah, but here's the thing that 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.920 is interesting to me with something this big. So they 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.000 take out a lot of influence, like a lot of 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.320 tech people, right from big publications, small publications, YouTubers, whatever. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.840 They fly them all out to Maui, which is obviously 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.280 they're in San Diego, like the company. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:14:59.160 They don't need to go to Maui. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.760 They could do this insane you go, but they fly 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.560 them all out there, put them up at this five 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.160 star hotel, very nice. I mean, everything's covered, but and 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.120 then they talk about their new chip that's in all 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.160 the phones and five G and. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:10.600 All the stuff. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.600 But like I was thinking about this, like if the 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.520 news like we're not going there to cover it, and 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.640 like I bet nobody else is either, But like if 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.880 it was that big, wouldn't tech publications when the New 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.600 York Times go there, like wouldn't on their own dime. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.120 I don't know, I don't. I don't even know if 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.080 they could take a trip like that. But the point 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.200 is it's one of these it's a weird thing. It's 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:33.400 like it's a lot of hype and I'm seeing a 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.320 lot of posts from people that I know and love 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.720 about this Maui trip, but like it's tough to kind 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.960 of like sift through the hype of these people are 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.840 excited at a free trip in Maui versus is this 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.240 really amazing technology that we shall know about? And that's 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.640 kind of like the tough part of it. And so 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:50.640 I'm just keeping it real. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.360 Bought to hype it up. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.560 I did not say that, but well, I agree, But 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.040 those that's the question as. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.440 A consumer, You're right, that's the question that goes through 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:00.760 your mind. 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.200 But also like I don't know. 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.320 I don't work for this company, but like if it 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:11.720 was company X, like wouldn't you want your new tech 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.360 to be on the like actual news. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:15.240 Or well that's the thing. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.160
