1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Pixel six a review. Netflix tries to squeeze more out

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: of subscribers. Amazon buys a doctor's office, well lots of them.

3
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: Plus your tech questions answered? What's going on on? Rich

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: Demiro And this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: I talk about the tech stuff I think you should

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: know about. It's also the place where I answer the

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: questions you sent me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: Channel five in Los Angeles. Welcome to the show. Hopefully

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: you are having a fantastic day looking forward to a

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: fantastic next day or weekend. Whenever you happen to listen

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: to this show. I don't know. You could listen to

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: it in a year from now. You could be listening

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: from the future or the past. Who knows. All right,

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: So what is going on? Man? So much to talk about?

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: So many things? So last night I was out I

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: kind of late for a school night. I know I

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: do it sometimes only for really good reasons. But last

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: night we were out at this event. It was a

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: pizza making event where they, you know, have these pizza

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: ovens that are cool and techie and all that. So

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: I did a segment, but the person who was cooking

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: the pizzas is this guy named Chris Bianco, and if

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with him, he's kind of a big

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: deal in the pizza making space. I mean, he's a

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: big deal in the chef space all that kind of stuff.

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: And so it's this is what I think is so

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: interestingly fascinating about being a reporter like I am because

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: I know this guy Chris, and this has happened plenty

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: of times, you know, follow him. Wanted to go to

30
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: his restaurant in Phoenix, which I didn't make it too,

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: but he just opened one up in LA But it's

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: like one of these things where like I never expect

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: to meet this person that I really think is cool,

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: and then here I am interviewing and making pizza with

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: this guy you know last night. Just amazing fascinating. This

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: happens over and over and over, and this is one

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: of the things I always talk about which is so

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: fun about being a journalist is that you are put

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: into situations that average people are not put into. You

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: are talking to people that average people don't get access to,

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: and you get just access to things that you know,

42
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: sometimes regular people don't get access to. That's really fun.

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: And your job is to take that and to kind

44
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: of bring that experience to the people watching or listening

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: or reading. And you know, I hold that to a

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: It is very near and dear in my heart, the

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: fact that I am entrusted to do that. And if

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: you didn't like it, you know, I don't know, Like

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: it's definitely like I see, It's one of these things

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: that it just keeps me going because it's so much

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: fun to have that honor and privilege. And I get it.

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm just a regular person. The people I'm talking to

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: are just regular people. We're all just human. But it's

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: just a really cool kind of like I don't know,

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: like I really there's a reason, like the answers that

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: he was giving yesterday about making pizza or just so

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: fun and interesting. So anyway, I'll have that story soon

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: on KTLA. But the other thing I want to talk

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: about is I'm always trying to make this show less

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I guess, more green, you know. And so in the

61
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: past I've tried things where I've used my iPad to

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: do the show. I have used the web to do it,

63
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: like just looking at you know, things, But this time

64
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I actually resubscribe to Evernote and I tweeted this a

65
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago. But I resubscribe to Evernoe and

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: so I'm using that today to produce the show. And

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing because just by you know, subscribing to

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Evernote again, I am now saving a ton of paper

69
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: by not having to print this stuff out. We'll see

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: if the shows is good, but I don't know, we'll see,

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: But it's just one of these things that it's like

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: a small change that really makes a big difference. So

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: if I'm stumbling a little bit more than typical on

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: the show, that's why, because I'm saving the Earth in

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: the creation of this show. All right, let's get to

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: the first topic of the show, which is the Google

77
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: Pixel six A. If you're watching on Instagram right now,

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: you see it. It is right there. Google Pixel six

79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: A is Google's least expensive smartphone. It is four hundred

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars and it is a phenomenal device at

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: that price. So what do I like about it? This

82
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: is the Sage green color, which is really cool. What

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: I love about it is the price four hundred and

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. So many people come to me. Now you

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: may sit there and say, oh, rich, Come on, everyone

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: gets an iPhone everyone Not everyone wants an iPhone, right,

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: And so the reality is there are a lot of

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: people out there. There are a lot of people that

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: want different options, and one of those options is a

90
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: different kind of phone that is a little bit less

91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: expensive than an iPhone, and the Pixel Phone is that phone.

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: So the Pixel six A. You know, what do you get?

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: You get a really good size phone. I love the

94
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: size of this phone. You get excellent software, you get

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: an amazing camera. The Pixel camera is known to be

96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: really really good, and I can vouch for that because

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I've used it many times. The fingerprint reader a little

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: bit sluggish, a little bit slow, and the refresh rate

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: on this phone is definitely not the highest, and so

100
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit more sluggish on the screen.

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: It's tough to explain because the screen can feel sluggish.

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: But the phone is actually really fast. It's got the

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: latest processor in it, Google's tensor processor, which is really good.

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: So it's a fast phone. I was editing video on

105
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: this phone and it's just phenomenal. But the screen itself

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of the things that move on the screen are

107
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: a little bit slower than you'd expect. Which is kind

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: of weird because it's the thing that you probably won't notice,

109
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: but I do because my current phone is a much

110
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: faster refresh rate, and so you do notice those kind

111
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: of things when it comes to the camera. Excellent for

112
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: everyday shots. No optical zoom, wide angles. A little bit

113
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: less wide than some other flagship phones, but that's fine.

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: There's this fun feature called Magic Eraser, which will erase

115
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: random people and objects out of your photos. There's another

116
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: new feature called Camouflage, which will kind of let's say

117
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: you took a picture of your kid and there's like

118
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: a big cooler in front of it, or some sort

119
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: of big distracting object. You can just basically circle around

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that object and it will make that object sort of

121
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: blend in with the screen. It will make it less vibrant.

122
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: Let's see. Biggest downside, like I said, is just the

123
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: fingerprint and the sluggish screen. Otherwise, this is a really

124
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: really good phone. Now let me just say one thing

125
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: about it. Though. It's four hundred and fifty dollars right,

126
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: which sounds pretty cheap. But the Pixel six, which is

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: this phone's older sibling, which has slightly better specs, or

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: I should say better specs. That phone was on sale

129
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: for four hundred and ninety nine dollars on Prime Day.

130
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: So basically, I'm telling you that this phone should be

131
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: at a target price of three hundred and ninety nine

132
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: dollars on sale at some point before the end of

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: the year. I'm expecting this to be that price before

134
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: the holidays because of the fact that it's older sibling,

135
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: which sells for closer to I think it's six hundred dollars.

136
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: It was let's say it's four ninety ninety five ninety

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: six ninety nine, so it was two hundred dollars off.

138
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: So my point is, this is a great phone. Keep

139
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: your eye on it. No need to purchase it right now,

140
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: but just put it in you know, put it in

141
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the back of your head, put it in your Amazon cart,

142
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: or just look for kind of deals on this phone.

143
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: At three ninety nine. I think at four point fifty

144
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: it's still a good deal. But three ninety nine I

145
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: think is still a pretty good deal too, So just

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: watch for that price drop. All right, let's get to

147
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: the first question of the show. Victoria says, is there

148
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: a way to stop or curb spam emails that are

149
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: flooding my inbox and junk. Thanks appreciate any help. Victoria

150
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: love your segments on Fox forty. Fox forty in Sacramento. Yes, uh,

151
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Fox forty has been a great station over the year,

152
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: so thanks for watching there in Sacramento. I'm actually going

153
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: to visit Sacramento for the first time very soon, so

154
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. All right. So stopping or curbing

155
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: spam emails, Number one rule, do not unsubscribe. Do not

156
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: interact with any spam email. If you get a spam email,

157
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: do not. I would rarely even open it, But if

158
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: it you know, in the rare chance that it comes

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: to your inbox, I would not open that email. Delete

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: it immediately. Do not press unsubscribe in a spam email.

161
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: That will just cue the spammers to let you know

162
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: that they've got a live email address and they will

163
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: actually send more spam. So don't do that. If it's

164
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: a legitimate spam email, like something from Macy's or Home Depot,

165
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: those aren't really spam. You've actually signed up for those

166
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: at some point and now you just continue to get emails.

167
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: So you can safely unsubscribe to a company that sends

168
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: you an email that is a legitimate company or a

169
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: service or something like that. But if it's an unsolicited thing,

170
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: do not unsubscribe. You don't want to do that. To

171
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: curb these things, what I would do is look up

172
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: how to not load remote images. You can do this

173
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: on Apple, you can do this on Gmail, you can

174
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: do it. You should be able to do it on

175
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: most email providers. But you want to turn off remote

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: load images. What does that do? So a lot of

177
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: times these email spammers will put little pixels or little

178
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: pixel It's like a tiny, tiny image in your email

179
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: that you may not even see or any image in there.

180
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: And when you load that image, it cues to them

181
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: that this is a good email because that image was loaded.

182
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: If it's never loaded, they don't know that you actually

183
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: opened it. So I would say that definitely turn off

184
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: remote image loading. Turn off remote image loading. Just google that.

185
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: Plus like you know, Gmail, Windows Mail, whatever. Disable automatic

186
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: image loading is what a lot of these providers call it.

187
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: But again, once you do that, these providers will not

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: be able to tell that you open their email, even

189
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: if you didn't interact with it in any other way.

190
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: So definitely turn that off. It's gonna be a little

191
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: bit of an annoyance because every email now will not

192
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: have images by default, but I do it for all

193
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: of my emails, and you can turn it on per email,

194
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: or you can turn it off, turn it on for

195
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: the entire sender. So it'll say at the top of

196
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: a new email, it'll say turn on images for this

197
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: email or all emails from this provider. So definitely do

198
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: that I get. I'm honestly, I don't even think I

199
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: get any spam at this point, like maybe once in

200
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: a while, and if I do, I'm very surprised that

201
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: it comes through because it just doesn't really happen as much.

202
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: When it does, I'm like, oh wow, I can't believe it.

203
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: There's more spam. All right, good question, Thanks for watching.

204
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the next topic of the day. Samsung.

205
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: Samsung says they have sold well this is the weird thing.

206
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: At first I thought that it said they sold ten

207
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: million foldables last year, but now I'm reading it again

208
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and it says last year, we saw almost ten million

209
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: foldable smartphones shipped worldwide. So I'm not sure that they

210
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: sold ten million or the industry sold ten million, because

211
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: there are other companies that make foldable phones. The first

212
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: time I the first time I ever saw a foldable screen.

213
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: I was at CS and it was just it was

214
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: pure magic. And again, this is why I love my job.

215
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hands on with this thing that you

216
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: just my eyes and my brain and my body had

217
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: never experienced before. And I'm sitting there and I take

218
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: a screen and I just fold it in half. How

219
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: wild is that? I just totally amazing. And so we

220
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: did a little This is when I was starting to

221
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: This is when I was just starting to do like

222
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: reels and stuff on Instagram. Don't even think they were

223
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: called that back then, but I did a little video

224
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: showing that, and it, you know, kind of went viral

225
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: and it was just so cool because people had never

226
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: seen the screen, like an LCD screen or LED screen,

227
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Folding in half. Now

228
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: it's commonplace. Samsung says it's becoming even more commonplace. It's

229
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: just been three years since since they introduced the foldable phone,

230
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: and their first one was kind of a little bit

231
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: of a problem, right. The problem was that the screen

232
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: was kind of if it got a little piece of

233
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: dust behind the screen, the whole thing went bad. So

234
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: they figured that out for sure. Now they're shipping two

235
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: phones that are really good, the Galaxy Fold the Galaxy Flip.

236
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of people choose the Flip over the Fold.

237
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: The Flip is the smaller phone. It literally looks like

238
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: this except imagine it looks like a standard smartphone, except

239
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: it just literally folds in half. The Fold is kind

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: of a bigger phone. It folds almost like outward. And

241
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: so one of them folds up and down top to bottom.

242
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: One folds left to right, and when you open up

243
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the fold, it basically looks like a tablet screen. And

244
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: that's much more for productivity seekers. And they say that

245
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: seventy percent of people choose the Flip and then thirty

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: percent choose the Fold. Now, the reason why Samsung's saying

247
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: all this is because on August tenth, they're having a

248
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: new event, and in that event, they will show off

249
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: their upgrades to the Fold and the Flip, which I

250
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: expect to be better cameras. I don't know if they're

251
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna make them thinner or lighter. Maybe they'll get you know,

252
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of increases in those areas, but I

253
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be tough. But I think the main

254
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: takeaway from these phones last year is that the cameras

255
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: were good, they just weren't as good as the flagship.

256
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll see better cameras because that would push

257
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: more people to get these, because you're not sacrificing the

258
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: camera to get this cool foldable form factor. I love

259
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: the Galaxy Flip. In fact, I would probably use that

260
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: as my daily driver, except the camera just wasn't up

261
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: to par with what I needed on my phone on

262
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: a daily basis. So again, August tenth Unpacked will be

263
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a This will be a virtual event, so it's not

264
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: in person. I can't go to this thing, but I

265
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: will get the phones hopefully and be able to test

266
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: those out soon. The other thing is if you're even

267
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: thinking that, even even considering that you might get one

268
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: of these phones, go to Samsung's website and you just

269
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: put in your email address and you get a two

270
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: hundred dollars reserve credit, so one hundred dollars off the phone,

271
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: then one hundred dollars up to one hundred dollars off accessory.

272
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's a pretty good deal just

273
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: for putting in your email address. You don't there's no obligation,

274
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: it's not like reserving a Tesla or anything. It's you're

275
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: just putting in your email address, and if you do

276
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: purchase it on pre order, you'll get this really good deal.

277
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: All right. A lot of questions coming through on the Instagram.

278
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: G Baxter six ninety five says, well, they have software

279
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: upgrades on August tenth for the S twenty two Ultra.

280
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the S twenty two Ultra

281
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: has been getting regular software updates. That thing has been

282
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: phenomenal with the upgrade cycle with the the software. I

283
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: think Samsung is just doing a really great job with

284
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: software updates to kind of keep these phones fresh. The

285
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: big update that we're expecting is called one UI. I

286
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: think it's five point zero now at this point, and

287
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: that's the entire kind of the entire interface is going

288
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: to get a refresh. They haven't said when, but it's

289
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: happening at some point, so stand the lookout. They'll probably

290
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: show off some of those things when they're showing off

291
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: the new phones next month, all right. Doug Sandra says, hey, Rich,

292
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: I belong to a group of seven in a text,

293
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: some iPhone users and some Android users. If I like

294
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: a text and I read it. If I like a

295
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: text that I read and I add a heart to it,

296
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: it repeats the whole text again instead of just showing

297
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: the original text with the heart. Any idea is about

298
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: this dilemma. Thank you Sandy, sent for my iPhone. Yes, Sandy,

299
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: this is a great example of the disconnect between iPhone

300
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: and Android. So what you're doing is using a proprietary

301
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: feature inside I message or messages on the iPhone called reactions.

302
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: And there are a couple of reactions. I would go

303
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: through them right now, but my phone is in use.

304
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: But one of them is like a thumbs up, one

305
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: is a heart, one is a haha, and there's a couple.

306
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: More So, when you press and hold an I message

307
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: and leave one of those reactions, an I message device

308
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: aka an iPhone or an iPad or a maccomputer on

309
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: the other end can interpret that reaction and show it

310
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: as a little tiny heart or a ha haa on

311
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: top of your message. But when an Android gets that reaction,

312
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't know what to do, and so it is

313
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: sent through as a Sandy liked and then whatever your

314
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: message was. This happens all the time, and so the

315
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: reality about this is that this is a proprietary feature

316
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: on Apple. Again. I've talked about this in the past,

317
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: but Apple I Message. That's a proprietary system and Apple

318
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: doesn't have to make that work with Android. It'd be

319
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: nice if they did, and I think they really should

320
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: because many people here in the US use I Message.

321
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: People outside the US could care less about I Message.

322
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Nobody outside the US uses I Message. Yes, it's done,

323
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: but it is not common. They use WhatsApp, they use

324
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Facebook Messenger, they use a whole host of things, but

325
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: they do not care about I Message. I Message here

326
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: in the US is number one. It is what it

327
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: is the standard of messaging for some reason, and it's

328
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: a proprietary system that does not work on all platforms,

329
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: which in my mind is a big old I don't

330
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: like that I use I Message because everyone I know

331
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: is on it, and it's a very convenient way to

332
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: send things, and if you send a picture through text,

333
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: it looks horrible. Now, the rest of phones in the

334
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: world use something called RCS. RCS is basically I Message,

335
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: but a standard that every phone can use, and Apple

336
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: has refused and decided to not accept that standard on

337
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: their iPhones. Being very clear about this because what Apple's

338
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: choosing to do is basically, give you a feature that's

339
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: really cool, but it's proprietary and it doesn't work on

340
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: any other device except their devices. It's amazing, it works great,

341
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: but it would be nice if Apple said, you know what,

342
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: let's either give I Message to the world as an

343
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: app that you can download and use with your friends,

344
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: or let's also accept this other way of texting, which

345
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: is called RCS, which would enable all of those iPhone

346
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: I message features, but for every phone on Android and iOS.

347
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: So my point is, I guess all of this is

348
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: to say that yes, this is just an iPhone thing.

349
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: That's why your Android friends see it. It makes Android

350
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: users annoyed, It annoys the iPhone users, it gets people

351
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: to go to iPhone I guess I don't know. But

352
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: on the flip side, Google has recognized this little problem

353
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: that you speak of, and in the latest version of

354
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 1: the Messages app. So this is not this is an

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: app you would have to download, It's called Messages and

356
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: it's from Google. They take that little heart and they

357
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: translate it into the actual reaction on the other side

358
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: on Android because they realize that this message is coming

359
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: through that is kind of annoying. And so that's what

360
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 1: they do. So if you download the messages app, you

361
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: can get that to work. But Sandra, you're on an iPhone,

362
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: so that's actually not going to work on your end.

363
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: This would only happen on the other person's end if

364
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: they adopt that messaging program. I know, very complicated and

365
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: would all be solved. Like I got my whole family

366
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: to download Telegram, and it's been amazing because guess what,

367
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't have to deal with a couple of people

368
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: that use Android in my family, a couple of people

369
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: that use iPhone. We are all on the same playing field.

370
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: If I send a giant video through it looks the

371
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: same on everyone's phone, whether you're using iPhone or Android.

372
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: If someone sends a picture, it works a if someone

373
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: switches devices, it's all the same. So this is the

374
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: kind of stuff we could have if Apple did not

375
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: decide to be so proprietary with their I Message. And

376
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: it's amazing that I Message has taken off in such

377
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: a nice way. It's great for Apple, but it would

378
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: be really nice if they brought it to everyone. Where's

379
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: my tiny violin? All right, let's get to the next story.

380
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: Netflix Netflix Netflix Netflix is one of the most or

381
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: if not the most popular streaming service out there. They're

382
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: doing really well, but they've got this little problem. You see.

383
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: It's all of these people that I call klingons. And

384
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of it, not myself, but I let a

385
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: lot of people. Can I say this, There may be

386
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: people that have access to my account. I may have

387
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: given them that access. They may not live in my household.

388
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: If you're gonna ban me from Netflix, go ahead, take

389
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: away my Netflix account. I don't know what do you

390
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean? That'll save me twenty dollars a month. But

391
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: the reality is a lot of people do this, I think,

392
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: to the tune of about one hundred million people. And

393
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: Netflix knows this. And Netflix is in this period now

394
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: where for many many years it was growth growth growth growth, growth, growth, growth, growth, growth, grow,

395
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: everything was going up. Now they're in this time of okay,

396
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: oh hold on, don't go, don't go, don't go, because

397
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: it's gotten to a saturation point where people they know Netflix,

398
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: they know what they want on there. If it's not

399
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: on there, they have no problem either getting rid of

400
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: it or just not subscribing or actually canceling or you

401
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: know whatever. So they've had some problems in the last

402
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: two quarters their subscriber numbers. Actually they lost subscribers, which

403
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: is pretty wild for a company that has built subscribers

404
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: for so many years now fifteen to be exact. So

405
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: all of this to say that Netflix is now testing

406
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: a way to get some of those klingons to actually

407
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: pay up. And so this is the new plan. They

408
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: have this new at a home feature that they're testing

409
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: in South America, Central America, not in the US just yet,

410
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: so you don't have to be scared just yet of this.

411
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: But basically, when you go to log in from a

412
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: TV that is outside your home, right it will say,

413
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: are you sure you want to log in from here?

414
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: Because this doesn't look like your house. So what we're

415
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna do is, we're gonna give you two weeks to

416
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: watch all you want on this service, but after that

417
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay up because we're pretty sure

418
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: this is not your house and we know you have

419
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: a TV in your house that's logged into Netflix. And

420
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: so in some countries it's basically about three dollars a

421
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: month depending on where you live for this extra house.

422
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: You may say, rich, I've got a vacation home in

423
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: a different place, it'll be fine. Vacation home will probably

424
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: be fine. Rich I travel a lot, and so I

425
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: should be able to watch Netflix wherever I want. Yes,

426
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: you will be able to watch Netflix wherever you want.

427
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Netflix is not stupid. They know. They can tell in

428
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: a heartbeat who is using their accounts as a klingon

429
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: and who is actually just using their accounts sort of

430
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: where they travel and where they go and where they vacation.

431
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: If you're going on vacation for more than two weeks

432
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: in a in a vacation home, then you know what,

433
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: more power to you. That's amazing, and you probably should

434
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: pay for Netflix in that separate location. Nomes kidding, uh uh,

435
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: just kidding, just kidding. That was a joke. So the

436
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: reality is Netflix is they They are not stupid. They

437
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: know from IP addresses, they know from patterns, they know

438
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: from AI when people are when when friends of subscribers

439
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: are logging in versus when the actual subscriber is logging in.

440
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: So they're just sort of, you know, turning up that

441
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: little knob, turning up the heat just a little bit,

442
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 1: and they're gonna see what happens, and eventually they may

443
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: roll this out to all of their accounts. But look,

444
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: we have we have lived in a world with these

445
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: streaming accounts that have been very free flowing. These streaming

446
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: accounts they charge you, you know, a certain amount of

447
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: month and you can basically share your account with as

448
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: many people as you want, as long as there's there's

449
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: limitations on how many people can stream at the same time.

450
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: You may have two streams simultaneous, you may have one,

451
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: you may have four. But the general consensus is that

452
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: there are people out there that are just sort of

453
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: free loading, and those need to convert, at least some

454
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: of them need to convert into actual paid accounts. Now

455
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm not talking if you have a college student off

456
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: at college. Look, if that's happening and you're getting these

457
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: paid messages, you will you will email Netflix and tell

458
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: them and say, hey, look, my kids off at college.

459
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: This is a this is a person in my household

460
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: that lives somewhere else for eight months out of the year.

461
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 1: But they're still in my household, and they're my student,

462
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: they're my you know, my my college student. They're in

463
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: my family. And of course, you know it'll be great.

464
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: Uh G. Baxter says nothing about phones, but Yakima Washington,

465
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: misses you. Oh wow, how do you remember from Yakima,

466
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: Washington so long ago? But thanks? That was a I

467
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: was so young. Uh. You know. It's so funny how

468
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: as you go through life, like the things that I

469
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: liked when I was young, or things I dislike are

470
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: things that I like now. So for example, when I

471
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: was young, I really loved everything big, you know, like

472
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: big chains, big box chain restaurants, like anything that was

473
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: like sort of standardized. And now as I get older,

474
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: I really don't like that kind of stuff because, and

475
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I'll go to Best Buy and

476
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: I use Amazon and all that stuff. But I'm talking like,

477
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: I like the mom and pop places. I like when

478
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: things are small. I like when things are run by

479
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: a single person because that's kind of like the fabric

480
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: of America, you know, these little businesses. So that kind

481
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: of stuff is funny. The second thing is that I

482
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: really did not like small towns, Like I wanted a big,

483
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: big city to live in, And of course I live

484
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles now, so I picked one of the

485
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: biggest cities and I love it. But there are definite

486
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: benefits to smaller cities, Like when I lived in Shreveport, Louisiana,

487
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: and Yakima, Washington. I could not wait to get out

488
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: of those places. I was so I had one foot

489
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: on a plane and one foot in the city because

490
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand. I literally said at some point,

491
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: why would anyone live here? Not on TV, obviously, but

492
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand. And now I understand. I get it.

493
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: You have a family, you want small you want a

494
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: nice park in your neighborhood. You want nice mom and

495
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: pop shops, you want a little town square. You want

496
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: When I ran down the street in Shreveport, Louisiana, people

497
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: would wave at me while I was running and I

498
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: was on TV, so I thought, Okay, maybe they know

499
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: me from TV. But no way, this is my first

500
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: week here. There is no way every person is waving

501
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: to me from television. And the reality was that people

502
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: just wave to other people in small towns. It's what

503
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: you do. You acknowledge a fellow human passing you on

504
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: the street. That does not happen in Los Angeles, and

505
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: if it does, people think you're weird if you're waving

506
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: to them on the streets. They're like, Okay, what's wrong

507
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: with this person right now? Why are they waving at me,

508
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: and I have something on my face? Am I drag?

509
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Like I was trying to tell a person the other

510
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: day that something was like hanging out of their trunk

511
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: on the freeway and I was like honking at them,

512
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: and I was like hong honk, you know, like, and

513
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: I was waving, but I was like literally worried for

514
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: my life because I was like, Oh, this person thinks

515
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: that I'm like trying to do something silly, right, and so,

516
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's just anyway, It's just it's just sad.

517
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: But you look at this is this is the reality.

518
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've said reality like ten times in

519
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: this podcast. This is just grow It's called growing up, right.

520
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: I have a family now. I did not have kids.

521
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: Back then. I wanted to go out to cool places.

522
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: I wanted a party. I wanted to hang out late

523
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: at night. Now I want to go to bed. I

524
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: want to watch a movie in my own house. It's

525
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: just it's just kind of the thing that happens as

526
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: you get older. And I don't think there's necessarily something

527
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: wrong about that. It's actually the way it should, you know,

528
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: It's just the general way it happens. And I guess

529
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: it's kind of you live and you learn, you change.

530
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: But it's really funny because I guarantee you there's something

531
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: in your life right now that you either make fun

532
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: of your parents for, or your grandparents or a friend

533
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: in a different place in life, and eventually, at some

534
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: point you will get to that place and you'll be like, Okay,

535
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: now I get it. And so it's just one of

536
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: those little things. But there's still a lot of things

537
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I still like that I liked when I was a kid.

538
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: So anyway, all of that to say that Netflix is

539
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: going to be charging. So all right, let's get to

540
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: the next question, shall we. Justin Justin What a cool name.

541
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Justin Justin says, have you reviewed Brooklyn Girl? Wow? Thanks

542
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: for buying a badge. I don't know what that means,

543
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: but thanks for doing that. That's awesome. I'll talk about

544
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: small life, a small town life more. All right, Jetson says,

545
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: have you reviewed T Mobile Home Internet? Did I miss

546
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: it any good or bad news? I'm thinking of dropping

547
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: AT and T for cable and Internet. The inflating bills

548
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. Any word on T Mobile would be great.

549
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: Thanks Jetson, Justin Justin j E S T T O

550
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: n okay. So I have not specifically tested out T

551
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: Mobile Home Internet, but I'm familiar with it. I did

552
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: test out Verizon's similar version of it, and it was fantastic,

553
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: and I one hundred percent recommend it. The thing to

554
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: know about this, So what he's talking about, or what

555
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: they're talking about, is that you get this box. It's

556
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: basically a wireless hotspot for your entire house. So you

557
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: know right now, if you have cable internet from team

558
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: from AT and T or let's it the other one

559
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: FiOS or Spectrum or Comcast Infinity, whatever, someone comes to

560
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: your house. They run a wire from the telephone pole

561
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: to your house and then they run that little cable

562
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: to a box. That box spits out a Wi Fi

563
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: signal that you use in your entire house. Well, these

564
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: new home Internet services from T Mobile and Verizon, they

565
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: shortcut all of that. They take the wireless signal in

566
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: from the cell phone towers to a wireless box, and

567
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: that box then turns that into a Wi Fi signal

568
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: that you use for your entire house. I know it

569
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: sounds wild and crazy, but that's a thing that they

570
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: can do now because of the five G spectrum is

571
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: so good that it can power all of these devices

572
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: in your house simultaneously. So what you need to look

573
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: out for. Number one, the prices are excellent. They're trying

574
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: to get people to sign up. Yes, the prices will

575
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: eventually go up, just like cable. You know when you

576
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: first got internet, Remember it was like thirty five bucks

577
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: a month, and then it's slowly but surely it just

578
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: keeps creeping up. Same thing's going to happen with these services.

579
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: But right now, because they're new and people are trying

580
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: to you know, they're trying to get your attention, they're

581
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: very inexpensive. So if you can switch to T Mobile

582
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: or Verizon's five G Home Internet, definitely give it a chance. Now,

583
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: it's not available everywhere. Your home has to be approved

584
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: for it to actually be there, and there's another caveat

585
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: the speed. So what I would do is, before you

586
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: sign up for this, you need to find someone with

587
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: T Mobile or Verizon five G and you need to

588
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: bring them into your house or wherever you would put

589
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: this little box. You put them near a window typically,

590
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: and I want you to do a speed test on

591
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: your phone. So download the app called media or met

592
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: ere just like like a Medior in the sky. Download

593
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: that app, make sure your WiFi is off on your phone,

594
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: make sure you're on the T Mobile network or the

595
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: Verizon network, and you want to do the speed test

596
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: and home loans by Octavio on the Instagram says he's

597
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: got the T Mobile Internet, the home La Home Internet

598
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: in La. It's fifty dollars a month, like I said,

599
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: and he says it's excellent. So well, I don't know

600
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: if he said it was excellent. He just said he

601
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: has it, so tell me if it's excellent. But again,

602
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: if you have a high if you have good fast

603
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: internet at your house, this is going to be a

604
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: great way to sort of get around those wired cable

605
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: companies that have had a lock on home internet for

606
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: so long, and that luck that they've had means that

607
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: it just hasn't been very competitive. Now, if you live

608
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: in a house like mine, where I do have two providers,

609
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: it is actually to your advantage. But many homes do

610
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: not have two providers. They have one provider and you're

611
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: stuck with them and that's it. You have no other options.

612
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Or you have two providers and one is really slow

613
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: and the other one's really fast. Where I happen to live.

614
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: I've got two providers. They're both fast, and I basically

615
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: ping pong between them. So for the past couple of years,

616
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: I've had one service which is really fast, but the

617
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: price keeps creeping up just a little bit. And so

618
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: when that price gets to a point where when I

619
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: call for you know, the price just went up, and

620
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: I will call and say, hey, look I can go

621
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: to the other people for a cheaper price. They are

622
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: competitive when they hear that, so it definitely helps. But

623
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: you have to be calling your cable company every single

624
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: year to negotiate a better price. You have to be

625
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: calling SiriusXM if you have them, do not let SERIOUSXM

626
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: renew your subscription at the current price. If you have

627
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: termin X, if you have any of these bug services,

628
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: you've got to call them when the price goes up,

629
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: and they know you have options. So you have to

630
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: call and you have to get a better service price

631
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: monthly because that's how you save money. And you're right

632
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: just in These inflating bills are absolutely it's it's unlike

633
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: anything I've ever seen. Every single monthly bill that I

634
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: have has gone up in the past six months and yeah, sure,

635
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: it's five dollars, two dollars, three dollars, ten dollars, but

636
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: that all adds up. Maybe it's an extra fifty to

637
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a month. Plus the groceries are going up.

638
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: So we're all in this interesting time of we've been.

639
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: You know, it was great times for many years with

640
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of money flowing and prices were cheap.

641
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: Now we're in kind of a little bit of a

642
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but it's definitely a

643
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: correction for some of these things. And I don't I

644
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: don't see prices going back down in a huge way.

645
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that the prices will kind of stick to

646
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: where they are and maybe other things will kind of

647
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: like gas will come down a little bit. But we'll say,

648
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm not an economist. I don't know. J nineteen sayss

649
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: have you gotten your Amazon TV yet? Mine is delayed? No,

650
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: mine is not delayed. If you were following me on Instagram,

651
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: you know that this one hundred dollars TV deal, A

652
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of people were questioning me, and I have a

653
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: bone to pick with those I'll tell you something. I

654
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: was really sad that you did not believe that I

655
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: had on very good authority. I don't just go on

656
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: TV and talk about things without cross checking them several times.

657
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: So when I had good word that this Amazon TV

658
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: was going to be fifty dollars for a fifty what

659
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: was it a fifty five inch TV or a fifty

660
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: inch TV on Prime Day? This TV? It was Amazon

661
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: Fire TV. Why am I not signed it into Amazon?

662
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: I can't see what my TV is. Let me see

663
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: if it'll let me see this. This was a Prime

664
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: TV for fifty bucks, all right? Sorry? This was a

665
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: TV Amazon TV for one hundred dollars and it was

666
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: either fifty or fifty five inches. I can't remember. Oh,

667
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: here's my order. Okay, let's see it was a okay,

668
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: a fifty inch Amazon Amazon four Series four k UHD

669
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: smart TV. It is currently selling for two hundred and

670
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. Many of us got it for one

671
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. I can see my order right here. It

672
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: is getting delivered soon. It is not delayed as far

673
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: as I can tell. This is a It's not going

674
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: to be the best TV in the world, but for

675
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks for a fifty inch TV, that's pretty

676
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: good anyway. My point is I mentioned that on TV.

677
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: It went completely and insanely viral, and it was a

678
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: limited time deal, and so people were losing faith in me.

679
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: They were calling me a liar. They were saying it

680
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: was a scam. They were saying Amazon was scamming them.

681
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: They were saying that the price was another price, and

682
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: I said, hold tight, this is a limited time deal.

683
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: We don't know when this deal is going to hit.

684
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: Amazon does these things called lightning deals where they just boom,

685
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: well it hit, and when it hit, is sold out

686
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: in about six minutes. But I will tell you I

687
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: got many messages from people that follow me on Instagram

688
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: at rich On Tech that they were able to purchase

689
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: the TV. I was not a liar. I was not

690
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: a scammer. It was not a schemer. This was a

691
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: real thing, you know, and you had to be there,

692
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: and you had to be there at the right time.

693
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: It's like any other deal that you see, you don't

694
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: always get it. Have you ever been to a Black

695
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: Friday sale? I have waiting out in line. The first

696
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: twenty five people go in and they say, oh, that's it.

697
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: That thing's sold out. And it happens every time. So

698
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: again I'm glad that some a lot of people stuck

699
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: with me. But you know, the haters and the naysayers.

700
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: I was actually quite sad because I don't report fake news.

701
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even report close to that. In fact,

702
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: when you see stuff, ninety nine percent of my stuff

703
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: is so unhyped that it may not even get the

704
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: traction that it deserves because you know, I don't really

705
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: hype things up. I tell people what they need to know.

706
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: That's like this podcast. I tell you what you need

707
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: to know, and I don't do it in a scary means.

708
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't do it in a flashy means. I just

709
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: tell you stuff. And I told you about the TV

710
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: it was a good deal. It was going to sell

711
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: out all those things out in my blog post. And

712
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: if you chose to listen, maybe you got it. If

713
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: you chose to not believe me, you were you know,

714
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: some people were just going off and off and off,

715
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you're spending more time yelling at me

716
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: when this this prime day is not even over yet.

717
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, my number one goal, and if you follow

718
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: me on Instagram, which if you're watching on live Instagram,

719
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: now I'll give you the secret to what I do.

720
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: This is my number one secret. I'm giving it to

721
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: you right now. The secret is I am trying to

722
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: help you. That's it. That is the the number one

723
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: thing that I do in every single aspect of my life,

724
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: whether it is my TV report, whether it's a post

725
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: on Instagram, whether it is a Facebook post, I try

726
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: to help you. That's the bottom line. That's all I do.

727
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: Now do I brag on my Instagram about, you know,

728
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: what I'm doing, who I'm hanging out out with, where

729
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm going. I try not to because does that really

730
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: help you? No? Now am I going to show you

731
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: parts of my life that I think are fun and

732
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and it may not have an aspect

733
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: of helping you, probably, But the reality is I went

734
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: to Rome. Most people when they go to Rome, they

735
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: sit there and they post all the pictures of their

736
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: gelato and of you know, the amazing pasta they eat

737
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: in their first class seat, which I did not fly.

738
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, you never see economy

739
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: class on Instagram stories. Have you noticed that nobody flies

740
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: economy class on Instagram? Everyone seems to be flying first.

741
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: Why are they flying first? Because that's what they choose

742
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: to show you that one time they upgraded on their

743
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: miles to a first class seat. Suddenly that's the seat

744
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: they show you they're sitting in. Okay, good, great for you.

745
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: Economy is just fine. I like economy. Plus it's a

746
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: little extra leg room. I've said I can go anywhere

747
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: in the world. Yes, I've flown first in my lifetime.

748
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen all the time, no, But the reality is

749
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: every single person I follow on Instagram only flies first. Amazing.

750
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: Good for you. Anyway. My point is, you know, when

751
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: I went to Rome, I made a story out of

752
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: it for TV. Nobody asked me to do that. KTLA

753
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't say, hey, can you do a story on your vacation.

754
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: I just wanted to. I was going through my travel

755
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh, these are little things

756
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: that like will help other people, and so I chose

757
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: to share those things on TV and in my stories.

758
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: Did I share my gelato? Of course? Did it look delicious? Yes?

759
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: Did you want some of that? Of course you did,

760
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: and you know some of you probably go to Rome

761
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: because of that. But was that my intention? No? My

762
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: intention is just to have fun here, help you out

763
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: and do the best I can So anyway, was that

764
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: considered going off? I don't know, but it sure felt

765
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: that way. Let's get to the next story, all right,

766
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Video. Amazon Prime Video is getting a makeover.

767
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: Starting this week, Amazon Prime Video is rolling out this

768
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: new redesigned experience on Fire TV devices is de Android

769
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: app and Connected living room devices, iOS and web to follow,

770
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: which it's a little kind of knock on iOS there

771
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: because they're like, oh, we're updating everything except iOS. It'll

772
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: get there. But that's kind of funny because most apps

773
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: update iOS immediately. The app is going to launch with

774
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: six primary pages, home Store, Find Live TV Free with ads,

775
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: and my stuff. I will tell you Amazon Prime Video.

776
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good stuff on there, or some

777
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: good stuff, I should say. It is impossible to navigate impossible.

778
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: It is impossible to see what's included in your subscription.

779
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: It's impossible to see the top stuff that people are watching.

780
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: It's just really, really not good because Amazon is mixing

781
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: two things. They're mixing stuff that you can watch for

782
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: free with Prime, but they're also mixing in stuff that

783
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: you can rent, which is very confusing for people. So

784
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: they're trying to make that easier. So now there's going

785
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: to be two clear icons. A video that's included is

786
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna have a blue check mark. Something that you can

787
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: rent by or subscribe to will have a shopping bag icon,

788
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: which makes a lot of sense. They're also gonna kind

789
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: of move sports into its own little hub, which is

790
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: handy because now you can watch Thursday night football on

791
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: Prime Video. And my favorite thing that they're doing, they

792
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: are adding a top ten chart to show you stuff

793
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: that's trending or popular stuff, trending stuff, and that's just

794
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: so much handier. I it's funny, I am. I was

795
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: talking about like I like small things and whatever, like

796
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: mom and pop shops, But I actually do love the

797
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: idea of the top ten chart because I just liked

798
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: seeing I like seeing what other people are watching because

799
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: sometimes things bubble up to the top. I don't consume

800
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of you know, like I

801
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know what people are watching on TV. I mean

802
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: unless you see stuff, you know, trending in the news.

803
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: But like, you know, there could be a show that's

804
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: really popular that I may not discover because I'm not

805
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: watching those kind of things, or I'm not checking out

806
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: whatever I'm not keeping up with, like Entertainment Weekly anymore.

807
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: So this I think is really handy. So what was

808
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 1: I watching on Prime the other day that I watched? Oh,

809
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: I watched House of Gucci on Prime and I thought

810
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: it was great because I saw that House of Gucci

811
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: was coming out on Prime and I was like, all right,

812
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: let me watch. I'd just been to Rome and so

813
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch that. I thought it was a

814
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: good movie. I know some people some people thought it

815
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: was good, some people didn't, But I thought it was

816
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: a great I just loved it because it took place

817
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: in Italy or a lot of it. I thought the

818
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: acting was so over the top. Jared Leto was excellent.

819
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: What a lady Gaga was phenomenal. I mean, she really

820
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: is a great actress. But and then the other guy,

821
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: who's the guy from Girls. His name is evading me

822
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: right now, but the guy from Girls, I thought he

823
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: was really good too. And I felt like the acting

824
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: just got more and more intense as the movie went on.

825
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: Like I think as they were filming it, They're like,

826
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: let's just be more over the top with our Italian

827
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: I sense and whatever. So I enjoyed that movie. I

828
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty good. Not everyone likes it. But anyway,

829
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: that was on Prime for free, and so I feel

830
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: like I got my Amazon Prime fill because I was like,

831
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: all right, I watched one movie for free on Amazon

832
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: Prime this year. That is a major win in my book.

833
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: I love watching free movies because I subscribe to so

834
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: many of these services that I pretty much will only

835
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: watch a movie if it's free. Although I did go

836
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: to the movie theater the other day and that was great.

837
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: All Right, enough about me, Rich, just gab on about

838
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: your life. Let's talk Adelia Ar's questions. Ar has a question.

839
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: I watch KTLA and I think you talk about how

840
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: some backup drives has had a glitch or something that

841
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: make your files disappear. This happened to me when I

842
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: updated my old Passport for Mac backup drive because the

843
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: old ones stopped working when I updated to Catalina. I've

844
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: kept both backup drives in case something can be extracted.

845
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: Let's see here, I'm seventy years old, I'm analog. I'm

846
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: completely must by this. Not to mention uh losing all

847
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: my writing files since nineteen ninety six, I've lost everything.

848
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: There are many files in trash, but it's not accessible.

849
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: Can you help I used to have a Mac guy

850
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: come to my house but became unreliable and overcharged. Thank you.

851
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: Ar all right, I think I know what happened here.

852
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: And first off, I'm very sorry that you lost your files.

853
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: That is extremely frustrating and horrible. Uh. This is why

854
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: I tell you you have to back up. And I

855
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: don't wanna know harp on this whole backup situation. But

856
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: you have to have your files in two places. You

857
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: have if you have your files on a physical hard drive.

858
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: Let's say this is a physical hard drive. You can't

859
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: just have this here. You also have to have this

860
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: mirrored somewhere in the cloud because or you have to

861
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,720
Speaker 1: have two drives. You can't just have if a file

862
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: is just here and only here, it will go away.

863
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: Eventually it will be gone. You will lose it. That's

864
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: the bottom line. It's just the reality of how things work.

865
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: It's called Murphy's law. It will go away. You need

866
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: to have your files in two places, ideally three. What

867
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: I think happened in this situation is that when you

868
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: plugged in your hard drive, the Mac computer said, hey,

869
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: do you want to use this as your time machine?

870
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: And you said, why yes, I do it's a backup drive,

871
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: and Mac proceeded to eradicate all the files on that

872
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: drive to make room for the new files and to

873
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: format that for time machine so all may not be lost.

874
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: What I recommend doing in this situation is you need

875
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: to go on Yelp and you need to look up

876
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: data recovery service and you need to find call the

877
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: top two places in your area that are closest to

878
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: you and just talk to the people on the phone

879
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: explain the problem. One of those people will be will

880
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: be very nice to you and you'll feel like you

881
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: have a connection with them, And when you do, that's

882
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: the person that you use to actually try to get

883
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: this data back off your drive. It may not be cheap,

884
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: it may not be easy, you may not get everything,

885
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: but this is a professional needs to go in and

886
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: see if they can recover these files. Usually, when a

887
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: computer wipes files off a hard drive, it doesn't actually

888
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: delete those files on the first pass. It just deletes

889
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: all references to those files, so they're still on there.

890
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: A computer just can't access them easily. Now, if you

891
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: do a really secure wipe, which we call a a

892
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: two pass, three pass, four past seven pass wipe, or

893
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: you put zeros on there to really delete things. In

894
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: that case, those files are permanently gone. But if you're

895
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: just formatting a drive or any sort of like media,

896
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: typically those files are still on there until they're rewritten

897
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: over or you do a second pass on those files,

898
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: and then they're really gone. So that's what i'd recommend

899
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: you do. You got to find a good data person

900
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: in your area and just talk to them and see

901
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: if you can get that data back. I'm sorry that

902
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: that happened to you. Mike Carpenter asked, what's that phone

903
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: that you're using? That is the Pixel six A that

904
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm currently reviewing, or actually my review is up, and

905
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: Alejandro in La said, when and how often do you

906
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,720
Speaker 1: go on with Handle? I go on with Bill Handle

907
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty eight am on Tuesdays, eight am

908
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: on Tuesdays, and I do Wednesday with Jennifer Jones Lee

909
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: at five am. And that reminds me I need to email.

910
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to start up this new food tech segment

911
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: as well on KFI, and so that would be on

912
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: the weekends. But that's still kind of in talks, all right.

913
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: Next story, Apple fifty million dollars settlement over defective mac

914
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: key MacBook keyboards, these butterfly keyboards, which I had and

915
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: was a pain in the you know what. Apple finally

916
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: admitted that they were not the best keyboards in the world.

917
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: They affected MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro keyboard. They

918
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: were sticky, they were unresponsive. If you got a little

919
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: dust in there, it was tough to type. This affects

920
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: people who bought MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models

921
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen in seven states California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan,

922
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, New York, and Washington. Apple of course

923
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: denied any wrongdoing, but they will pay out. So the

924
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: payouts are expected to be four hundred dollars to people

925
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: who replaced a couple of keyboards, one hundred and twenty

926
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 1: five dollars to people who replaced one keyboard, and fifty

927
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: dollars to people who replaced key caps. It does nothing

928
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: for people like myself that went and purchased a new

929
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: laptop because I couldn't deal with the old keys, and

930
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: I actually ended up giving my old laptop to my son,

931
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: who has not complained about it, but he's not the

932
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: same kind of typer as I am. He's not on

933
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: it all day doing emails. So again, just be on

934
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: the lookout. We're gonna hear about this. Two things to

935
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for. Number one, you may have

936
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: some money coming your way. And the second thing is

937
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be scam artists that try to capitalize

938
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: on this settlement, So don't fall for any scams. Live

939
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: News twenty four to seven says you're gonna compete with

940
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: the Fork Report. No, I'm not competing with the Fork Report.

941
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk on the Fork Report. Neil over

942
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: there at the Fork Report. We did one little test

943
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: run last week and or two weekends ago, and so

944
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: the idea is that we would talk about some of

945
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,959
Speaker 1: these you know, fake not fake foods. I should say,

946
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: these new foods like the food tech that I that

947
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: you generally see me talking about and so and Loggie

948
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: Wolf says, if I got the keyboard replaced on a

949
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen MacBook Pro by Apple, can I still get

950
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: the money coming my way? Yes? I do believe that

951
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: would qualify. So if you paid to have that replaced,

952
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: it looks like you'll have about one hundred and twenty

953
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: five bucks coming your way three ninety five if you

954
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: paid for a couple of keyboards. Let's get to the

955
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: next question of the show. Sue says, the other day,

956
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: my kids went to camp on a field trip. My

957
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: daughter did not take her cell phone because camp discouraged

958
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: it and she would have to get a locker. What

959
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: would a tech watch be a help if I can

960
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: call and text her if needed. My coworkers say, talking

961
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: in a watch phone does not work very well. Oh ow,

962
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: Instagram's telling me I'm at my limit. We are an

963
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: Android family. What do I buy for my kids to

964
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: communicate with them if their phone is not available like

965
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: they were when they were at Magic Mountain? Thank you, Sue.

966
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: All right, Sue, Look, the number one smart watch out

967
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: there is the Apple Watch. You can go cellular. That's

968
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: why with my kid it was expensive, but we bought

969
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: him an Apple Watch with cellular and it's it's basically

970
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: you have to pay for the watch cellular version, which

971
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: is a little bit more expensive, and then you have

972
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: to pay ten dollars a month for the cellular service.

973
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: I also got a little He broke his first one,

974
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: so the next one we got him was a little

975
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: screen protector that you snap on. It was ten bucks.

976
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. It's gonna save the screen because kids are

977
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: all over the place. The other hand hits things, but

978
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: that is the best way. We use it. With my son.

979
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: It is fantastic. He can text back and forth on

980
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: I message, he can make phone calls. It works anywhere.

981
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: You do not need an iPhone to use it. However,

982
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: you do need an iPhone to actually activate it. Again,

983
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to go off on Apple, but this

984
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: is a This is a decision Apple made to make

985
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: you stick in their ecosystem. So you need an iPhone

986
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: to act activate an Apple Watch that does not need

987
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: an iPhone to operate, just saying once the iPhone is activated,

988
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: it works on its own. So theoretically you could use

989
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: a friend's iPhone to activate this. I'm not sure you

990
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: can use an iPad because I don't think the watch

991
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: app is on there. But again, this is a little

992
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: decision that Apple makes. I really think that they should

993
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: let you activate this Apple Watch online. It's still ten

994
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: bucks a month, But you know, I mean, why, why

995
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: why do they make you do this? I don't know.

996
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: So to answer your questions, sue the only other option

997
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: for Android is you can go with a watch from Samsung.

998
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: They've got LTE versions of their watches. You can do that.

999
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: I have not tested it lately. I did put in

1000
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: a request with Samsung to test new watches that if

1001
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: they come out, which I'm expecting them to, I did say, hey,

1002
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: can you can you please give me one of those

1003
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: to test out and try it, and hopefully that will happen.

1004
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: The other option is some of the little watches from

1005
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: something like T Mobile or Verizon. In my experience, they

1006
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: are not very good. They're just not and they're bulky.

1007
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: The software is not good, they don't work very well.

1008
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: The Apple Watch is just the software is like butter,

1009
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: it just works. It's just amazing. So the other thing

1010
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm hoping will happen, There's going to be a pixel

1011
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: watch that will have an LTE version that's coming out

1012
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: sometime and that will work with Android. That will be

1013
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 1: a great option when it happens. It does not happen

1014
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: just yet. The other thing is perhaps because Google bought Fitbit,

1015
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: perhaps they will make an LTE version of the Fitbit.

1016
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: That would be amazing too. But otherwise your options are

1017
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: pretty limited. When you're on Android. It's if you have

1018
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: any iPhone in the family, I would say just go

1019
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: with a with an Apple Watch. The cheapest Apple Watch

1020
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: you can get is the Apple Watch se that's there's

1021
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a new version of that in September,

1022
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: so if you can wait, I would wait on that.

1023
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: But that would be the best best case scenario. All right,

1024
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: we'll get to another question here. This is just a compliment,

1025
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 1: it looks like Jennifer says, Hey, Rich, thanks for talking

1026
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: about the I Exit app earlier this year. We recently

1027
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: road tripped California to Tennessee and back and driving our

1028
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: diesel pickup towing our camping trailer. I use the trucks

1029
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: version of the app to find truck stops and parking

1030
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: areas throughout our trip because we need a diesel and

1031
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: we were far too long for any regular gas station.

1032
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: The app did a great job. We would not have

1033
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: known about it if not for you. We appreciate what

1034
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: you do. Keep up the good work. We listen to

1035
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: your podcast, follow you on social media and more. I

1036
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: feel like a stalker, but whatever, Jennifer Laguna Hills. Oh

1037
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: that's funny, Jennifer. I guess you probably if you're listening

1038
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: to the podcast. Thanks for writing in about this. The

1039
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: I Exit app is one hundred percent. You need it

1040
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: on your phone if you are road tripping at all

1041
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: this summer or anytime or driving and you need to

1042
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: find what's up ahead at the exit ahead. So let

1043
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: me just give you a scenario. You're driving up to

1044
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: Washington State and you really want, I don't know, pick

1045
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: some restaurant whatever, like fast food that's not like the standard, right,

1046
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: it's not McDonald's, or you know, Taco Bell or something

1047
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: you want. Maybe it could be Taco Bell because they're

1048
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: not at every stop, but maybe you want like Burger King,

1049
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: or maybe you want Chick fil A, or maybe you

1050
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: want Canes, or maybe you want you know, some of

1051
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: these little regional chains like what was Culver's right, So

1052
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: those are not going to be at every stop. With

1053
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 1: this app that you do instead of searching Google Maps

1054
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: and seeing like, oh, there's a Culver you know an

1055
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: hour away, what this does is it just lists all

1056
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: of the exits up ahead, and it tells you what

1057
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: restaurants are at those exits, or you can search and

1058
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: it'll tell you which exit up ahead will have it.

1059
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: So it's a fantastic gap. Not only does it do that,

1060
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: it also tells you the gas prices at each exit,

1061
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: and it tells you the exit up ahead with the

1062
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: cheapest prices, so you don't have to drive twenty five

1063
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: thirty five forty miles out of your way. It just says, hey, look,

1064
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: don't stop the next exit. Stop at the one after that,

1065
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: and they'll have the cheapest gas prices. So I exit

1066
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: is great. The other app I want to mention that

1067
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: I am a total believer in now is called Upside.

1068
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: So I mentioned it on it might have been in

1069
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: the same No, it wasn't in the same one. Maybe

1070
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: it was. Upside was an or is an app that

1071
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: gives you refunds or cash back on gas and so

1072
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: I obviously have an electric car, so I'm not filling

1073
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: up with gas. But my wife has a gas car

1074
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,399
Speaker 1: and so I've been using it to fill up her car,

1075
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: and the cash back is great. You get you know,

1076
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: it's not a ton of money. You're not going to

1077
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: retire on the money you get back from Upside, but

1078
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: it is something, and if you refer friends, you get more.

1079
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: So I'll put my referral link in the notes. But

1080
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: you can find that on my website, rich on tech

1081
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: dot TV. But if you sign up through there, you

1082
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: get a little bonus. I get a little extra on

1083
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: my first or fill up or your first fill up,

1084
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: something like that. But what I've been doing, I've gotten

1085
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: the bulk of my refunds on groceries. So there's this

1086
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: one grocery store that I like to go to just

1087
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: for fancy meals. So I only go there, you know,

1088
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: a couple times a month, but you get One time

1089
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: it was like twenty percent back, another time it was

1090
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: ten percent back. Now I've noticed the more I go,

1091
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: the less they're giving me. Like this weekend it's six

1092
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 1: percent back. So you know, someone was asking earlier what's

1093
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: on the menu for tonight. But usually on a Friday night,

1094
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: if I'm making like a nice steak or something, I

1095
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: will go and get it at this certain grocery store

1096
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: in town that I feel like has better meat than

1097
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,760
Speaker 1: other grocery stores, and it happens to be on upside.

1098
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: So I've been getting You know, if I spend one

1099
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: hundred bucks there on a dinner, which you know you

1100
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: could easily do these days, you know, it'll be like

1101
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: the first time I did it, was like twenty dollars back,

1102
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. So anyway, upside rich on tech

1103
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: dot tv for the link. I think it's still on there.

1104
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: Let me see. You might have to scroll down a

1105
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's see is upside on there. No, it's not,

1106
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: so I'll put it on there. I'll put the upside

1107
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: referral link on there so you can see. I think

1108
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: you have to use my code to get the bonus

1109
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: cash back. But it's pretty cool. I'm impressed it's it's again.

1110
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: It's not going to be something that you, you know,

1111
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: make a ton of money through, but it is kind

1112
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: of a cool little way of getting some extra cash

1113
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: and it definitely helps. Okay, where was I think, uh oh, shoot,

1114
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,800
Speaker 1: we run out of time here. I just uh, okay, Amazon,

1115
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: I'll just go through a couple of stories. I want

1116
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: to mention Amazon bought a doctor's office, one medical. I

1117
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: think they have a bunch of these in La or

1118
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: at least a couple. And now Amazon owns a chain

1119
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: of doctors' offices. I know it sounds weird, but these

1120
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: but I feel like, again, this is going back to

1121
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: the whole mom and pop thing, Like most doctor's offices

1122
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: are sort of like small businesses. My doctor small business

1123
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: they're usually they're usually aligned with some sort of hospital

1124
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: or like medical group, but it's still very small, and

1125
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: I kind of like that for doctors. But I would

1126
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: also like more digital elements to be built in, like

1127
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: the ability to make an appointment online, the ability to

1128
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: pay your bill online. So all that stuff is sort

1129
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: of lagging when it comes to doctors and dentists. They're

1130
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: getting better, but it's one of these things where I

1131
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: think Amazon will have an impact. What I don't like

1132
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: about this is that Amazon sort of lives by that,

1133
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, ride hard and fast and kind of like,

1134
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: you know whatever, give up on things very quickly. So

1135
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: they could they could buy this company, do it for

1136
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: a year and just decide nevermind, just doesn't work, and

1137
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: then they'll sell it or get rid of it or

1138
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: close it. So I hope they don't do that. They

1139
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: paid three point nine billion dollars for this chain of

1140
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: high tech doctor's offices. We'll see it's a it's a

1141
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: primary care membership, so you do have to pay a

1142
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: membership fee to be a part of this, which, you know,

1143
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: access to healthcare is tricky enough. A lot of people

1144
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: do not want to pay extra for these boutique medical firms.

1145
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: I know, if you have a lot of money, you

1146
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: can do it, but I you know, like I've I've

1147
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: looked into this because I'm like, oh, it's so nice

1148
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: a concierge a doctor's office. But it's just, you know,

1149
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 1: it's like, you pay enough for doctor's offices, and so

1150
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: you don't really want to pay even more for that. Right,

1151
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: Let's see what else. Microsoft is putting in this little

1152
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: feature into teams called Microsoft Viva Engage, which literally is

1153
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: Facebook for your work inside teams, So be on the

1154
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: lookout for that. And Chevy unveiled a Chevy Blazer EV.

1155
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: It's a suv. It's gonna start at about forty five

1156
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, although we all know those are probably gonna

1157
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: be tough to get at that price point. So but

1158
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: I love any competition in the EV space, and so

1159
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: the fact that Chevy is coming out with a really

1160
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: cool looking Blazer, and hey, this may be my next car.

1161
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: I think for my next EV, I'll go with an SUV.

1162
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: But I plan on I bought my Tesla, so I

1163
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: plan on keeping my Tesla for as long as humanly

1164
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: possible until that battery has like one mile left on it.

1165
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: I will continue to drive that Tesla. It's kind of

1166
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: like an iPhone where it just keeps getting software updates

1167
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: to make it better. And I'll tell you the autopilot

1168
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: has gotten way better. So it used to do this thing.

1169
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: If I was driving autopilot at you know whatever, sixty

1170
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: five miles an hour and I was coming up near

1171
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: a truck. As a human, my instinct is to kind

1172
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: of slow down when I'm going if I was going

1173
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: between two giant semis or something. Right. Not everyone does that,

1174
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: but I do that because it's just like, all right,

1175
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: I gotta be on my guard a little bit. But

1176
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: this Tesla would just like it. It reminds me of

1177
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: that movie with Denzel Washington, like Flight I think it

1178
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: was called, where it was like thread the Needle, Thread

1179
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: the Needle, where he's just like zooming up and he's

1180
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: he's all stormy and he's kind of hung over, so

1181
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: he's like threading this needle, just driving that plane like boom.

1182
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: That's the way it felt on the Tesla, and so

1183
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm like always like, eh, let me slow down a

1184
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, now, the Tesla, clearly people have felt

1185
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: like me in those situations where, now, if you're going

1186
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: really fast and a car is not going as fast

1187
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: next to you, like a big truck. I noticed this

1188
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: morning it kind of slowed down just a little bit,

1189
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: just a tenC bit, pulled back just to you know,

1190
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: get past that truck in a safe manner, and then

1191
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: it kind of went again. So little things like that

1192
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: that continue to get better on the Tesla. But anyway,

1193
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: the Chevy Blazer TV will be launching in twenty twenty

1194
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: three as a twenty twenty four model year, and this

1195
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: is going to go anywhere between I would I say

1196
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: two fifty to three fifty miles an hour, two hundred

1197
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and fifty to three hundred and twenty miles on a charge. Again,

1198
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: it's a range of two hundred and forty seven miles

1199
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: for the base one. And oh okay, so there's a

1200
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the most expensive is gonna have three twenty. The cheapest

1201
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: is going to have two hundred and forty seven on

1202
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: a charge. So we'll see. The cool thing about this

1203
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: this car, too, is I have a feeling it's gonna

1204
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: be among the first to get Apple's new car Play

1205
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: because both screens are digital. Chevy and Apple have had

1206
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: a really good relationship with CarPlay, and I think that

1207
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: this will be one of those new cars to take

1208
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: advantage of the car Play that does both screens, which

1209
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be really really cool. That music does mean

1210
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. For this episode of the show,
