10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: have a computer, or many of us do, and some

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: of us have an iPad, and all this tech that's

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,199

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: And you know, this week in Los Angeles has been

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: a very very tough week. This has been probably one

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: of the craziest weeks that I've ever experienced in my

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: time here in LA and I've been here for a while.

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: We've had fires all over the place. I mean literally

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: just surrounded. And the weird thing about this city is

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: that it's so large that if you're in an area

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: where the fires are nearby, it truly affects your day

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: to day life. But you could be an hour away

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and still live in Los Angeles and you know, not

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: be affected at all. So there are a lot of people.

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: My in laws were super affected by some of the

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: fires in West LA. They didn't have to evacuate, but

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: they got pretty close. And we're not out of the

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: woods just yet as I tape this, So to everyone

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: that's been affected, definitely, my heart goes out to you.

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Stay safe out there, and all the people that have

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: volunteered and helped out throughout these fires. You've been amazing.

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: So those firefighters out there on the front lines, and

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: even the reporters I work with who had to go

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: out there. Even where I live, I could smell the

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: smoke and the soot everywhere. I mean, there's just ash

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: in the air, ash covering our cars here. So it's

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: definitely been an interesting one and we're not out of

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: the woods just yet because the winds are still pretty high.

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of talk about so many

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: things happened this week in technology. I think probably the

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: biggest story of the week is that Amazon is now

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: on Apple TV. And that's a big deal because now

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: Apple TV has basically become the platform that offers everything.

51
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: So there's only two platforms that pretty much have it

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: all at this point, and that is Roku and Apple TV.

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: So Amazon Prime Video has arrived on Apple TV. The

54
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: app arrived, so you can download Amazon Prime Video, and

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: what you can do with this is access the Prime

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: original series and movies. So basically, if there's a show

57
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: on Amazon that you like, like The Big Sick is

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: a movie that's out, and you can get that for

59
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: free now on Apple TV. If you're a Prime subscriber,

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you can kind of keep track of shows that you

61
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: want to watch. You can basically you can finally access

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Amazon's videos for free on Apple TV. If you're a

63
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Prime Video or if you're a Prime customer. This is

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: a big deal because now they pretty much have everything.

65
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: And I'm seeing in the chat room that Chris is

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: saying they don't have Spotify, and that's a very good point.

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking all of the video things that they

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: do offer, and you're right, Apple really likes to direct

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: you towards their products. And actually, you know what Apple

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: TV failed me last night. I will tell you this

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: because I bought this movie for the kids. It was

72
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: ten bucks. It was the Trolls Holiday Movie. And all

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: these services what they're trying to do is tell you

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: where these movies are playing for free. And so you know,

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: I saw the new Trolls thing. It was on the

76
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: front screen whatever, it was on the iTunes store, and

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: I said, oh, that's cool, ten bucks whatever, And next

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: thing you know, I bought it and I'm looking at

79
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: my phone today and it's free on Netflix. And the

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: weird thing about Apple TV, depending on how you search it,

81
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you will see basically there's a secret way to

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: search on Apple TV that you need to know about.

83
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: You have to search using your voice, and that's the

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: way that it's going to take you to a special

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: screen that tells you where everything is playing or inside

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: the TV app. If you go direct to iTunes on

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: Apple TV, you're only going to get what's available on

88
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: iTunes and you're only you're gonna pay for anything that's

89
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: on there. So long story short, two things that you

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: can't get now with the Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV.

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: And this might take you a little bit to kind

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: of realize, but once you realize, you're like, oh, yeah,

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: you cannot buy movies through Amazon Prime Video, nor can

94
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: you rent movies through Amazon Prime Video. So that's kind

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: of weird. And the reason for that is that Apple

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: takes a thirty percent cut of basically anything that has

97
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: purchased through their platform, and Amazon is like, nope, we're

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: not giving that up. So that means that they just

99
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: take that functionality out of it. It's the same reason

100
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: why you can't buy any ebooks on the Kindle. You

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: sit there, on the Kindle app on the iPad, you

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: sit there and you're like, wait a second, what's missing here?

103
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: I can't buy a book. Well, yeah, because they want

104
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: you to buy it through Eyebooks. So that's the difference,

105
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: and it's not really it's not Apple doing that. Apple

106
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: saying sure, Amazon, do whatever you want, but Amazon's like, no,

107
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: we're not giving away thirty percent of our revenue because

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: you control a huge part of the market. But there

109
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: you have it. I mean, I personally have not found

110
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: a show that I want to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: I've tried a bunch of them, and I've just not

112
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: seen any that I like. You know, all their rich

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: programming now for the kids, I think it's fantastic. Lots

114
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: of great shows for the kids, and I think they

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: have a decent amount of movies. But when it comes

116
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: to the original series, I guess, let's see what original series. Okay,

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: the tick, I don't know. I haven't watched that, the

118
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Grand Tour that arrives on December eighth. Let's see what

119
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: else do they mentioned here? They don't even have any

120
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: They can't even mention, like more than they don't even

121
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: mention that many of them in here because they know

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: that nobody really cares about their shows, which is sad.

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: I hope that people do. Man in the High Castle

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: someone mentioned I tried watching that. My friend was an

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: editor on that, and I didn't even really like that one.

126
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: I kind of got into it for like two episodes

127
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: and then I just lost interest. Anyway, at the end

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: of the day, Amazon Prime Video is still an amazing

129
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: thing to have on the Apple TV, And let's see

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: which ones does it work on. Let me make sure

131
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: so that you guys know, because some of you might

132
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: have older models of the Apple TV. So let's see

133
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: which one does it say? Does it say okay, Apple TV,

134
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Video? It does not say which one it's on. Oh, well,

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: you're just going to figure it out. Just look. Just

136
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: look on your Apple TV and see if it's available. So, yeah,

137
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: it is online. But there you have it. This is

138
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Look at this. Look what they sent me.

Speaker 1: I guess a couple like an extra life or some

147
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: power ups whatever it does. So that's kind of cool. Nintendo,

Speaker 1: you've been listening this long and you still don't know,

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: on the Tech Reporter at KTLA five News in Los Angeles,

157
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: So normally you'll see me on there early in the

158
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: morning talking about technology and all kinds of fun stuff

159
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: because to me, this is very exciting. It's very exciting

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: to see, like literally, Apple TV did not have that

161
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: functionality yesterday of Prime Video, and all of a sudden,

162
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: now it does. I love that. I mean, how cool

163
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: is that that basically everything we're getting now is becoming

164
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: software based and everything that you have can basically get

165
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: new functionality overnight. And I love that. So everyone that

166
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: bought an Apple TV over the holidays or got one,

167
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: you know now they if you didn't have Amazon for

168
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the longest time and now you have it. So I

169
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: find that really interesting and that's why I really love

170
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. Same thing with our phones. I mean, you

171
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: just keep getting new little features out at your phone

172
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: us on a weekly basis, like Apple Pay and what

173
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: is it called not Apple Pay, Apple Pay Cash that's

Speaker 1: have something you're trying to decide to buy for the

189
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: holiday season, something that just isn't working for I can answer, well,

190
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't answer everything, but I will

191
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: definitely give you an answer. How about that Apple Pay

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: This is now launching on Apple iPhones obviously, and Apple

193
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: pay is uh this is a new part of Apple Pay.

194
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: It's Apple pay Cash. So you're probably already familiar with

195
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Apple Pay. You can use it to you know, use

196
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: your credit card to pay stuff. Well, now you can

197
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: use apple Pay to send and receive money to friends

198
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: and family. And this is kind of a killer thing.

199
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I know. We already have PayPal, we already have Venmo,

200
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: we have my personal favorite, which is square Cash, but

201
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: now we have Apple doing it. And guess what when

202
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Apple does something, what does that mean? It means that

203
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: is it is now the best for Apple users. And

204
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm kind of saying that facetiously

205
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: because everyone that's an Apple user could have used Square cash.

206
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: But the other day when I asked someone if they

207
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: accept square cast, They're like, no, I'll just take a check,

208
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: thank you, And I'm like, why why not use Square cash.

209
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of but everyone uses it, and

210
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't like it. I don't. I

211
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: don't need my my payments public with everyone. You know,

212
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: they put they put whatever you buy for someone, they

213
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: put it like in a feed, Like why does someone

214
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: need to know that I pay them back forty bucks

215
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: for something I don't. I don't get that. But a

216
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: lot of people use it, especially in the schools, So

217
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: I am signed up with that one as well. Apple

218
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: pay Cash basically uses the credit or debit card that

219
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: you already have on file with Apple Pay and now

220
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: you can just pay your friends. And I'm assuming it's

221
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: free because I don't think that they charge you money

222
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: to send to your friends.

223
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 3: Now.

224
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Usually that's kind of weird because if you pay you

225
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: know what, I bet you with the credit card. I

226
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: haven't tried this, but I bet you with a credit

227
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: card it does cost money. I'm not sure though, but

228
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: let's see Apple pay send and receive money. Yeah, it

229
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: doesn't say how much it costs. Maybe if you guys

230
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: have tried it in the chat room, you can tell

231
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: me if they charge for Apple pay cash when you're

232
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: using your credit card, usually with your debit card, it's

233
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: free like on Square cash. And then if you use

234
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: your credit card to pay someone, they'll charge you like

235
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: I think a three percent transaction fee, which is not

236
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: a ton of money. If you're paying someone twenty dollars

237
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: two times three, I mean that's not that you know,

238
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: what is that sixty cents? I don't know. It's not

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: that much. So there you have it, and now it's

240
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: just an I message. So I think it's gonna do

241
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: one of those things where if you say, hey, you

242
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: owe me thirty dollars, the I message will be like Hey,

243
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: do you want to pay this person with Apple Pay

244
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: so smart idea. I personally like you know third party

245
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: options better, but I know this is built into every

246
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: iPhone in the world, so all of a sudden it's

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: going to become very, very popular. Three one zero five

248
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: nine four, three zero zero three is the phone number.

249
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: I know you guys have been calling. I haven't been

250
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: able to answer because a couple of you guys are

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: coming in all at the same time. So three one

252
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: zero five nine four three zeros or three. Oh you

253
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: know what, here we go. We got a regular on.

254
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: We got Mike from a Ventura.

255
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 4: Mic It's my friend.

256
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: How are you good?

257
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: Are you?

258
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: Uh?

259
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Now you're in ventur I know, so, are you near

260
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: the fires or what?

261
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: The fire is currently burning in Santa Paula, which is

262
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: about twelve or fifteen mins where I live. We're in

263
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: no immediate danger right now where I live. However, this

264
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 5: focus unbearable times. It's hard to breathe. But the last

265
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: report is it was headed northward Santa Barbara, which is

266
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 5: kind of a nerving for them out there. I have

267
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: relatips up there.

268
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, this has been bad. How long have you

269
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: lived out here?

270
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 5: I've lived in California all my life, originally from Santa Barbara,

271
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 5: but I moved to Venture in nineteen eighty six.

272
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: And what do you think? Do you think this is

273
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the worst you've seen or is it right up there?

274
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: Or what give us some perspective?

275
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: I think a good question. That's a good question. A

276
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 5: lot of people have asked me that. You know, I

277
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: do a lot of volunteer work with Ventura County Fire,

278
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: so I've been in touch with them personally on a

279
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: personal level. I remember in nineteen sixty four in Santa

280
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: Barbara we have something called the California Fire and you

281
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: look from one rich top to the other end of

282
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: the city and the whole hillside would just go on fire.

283
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: So this is nowhere near that. But Monday night has

284
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 5: stepped outside I live up there's a step outside and

285
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 5: looked and it was the same routine all over again.

286
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 5: So one hill side to the other, it's pure fire.

287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 5: And I posted a lot of this on my Facebook page. Anyways,

288
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 5: I have a question for you. You're asking about fire

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: and about my safety. Google YouTube video service from Google

290
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: they pulled out from Amazon's fire TV and Echo show.

291
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: Why that would be my question?

292
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: It's like it's like two it's like two spoiled brats fighting,

293
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's what it is. I mean. So, yeah,

294
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Mike brings up a good, good question. So basically this

295
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: week this happened once before where Amazon Echo Show they

296
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: have YouTube on there, and Amazon or yeah YouTube, Google

297
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: basically said oh, we don't like how you're using YouTube

298
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: on here. We're just going to pull it off of there,

299
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: and so they did, but it came back a couple

300
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: of months later. Okay, well now they apparently, So here's

301
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: what's happened now. So now YouTube is going to be

302
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: pulled off the Echo Show as of today. This was

303
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. And then if if you

304
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: have a fireTV, Amazon is kind of amplifying it a

305
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. YouTube is going to be off of

306
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: there as of January first, two thousand and eight, twenty eighteen.

307
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Rather so it's tough to know. Okay, so here's what

308
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: it says Amazon. Let's say a YouTube spoke, so it

309
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: looks like Google is doing this. Google is kind of

310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: the perpetrator here, and Google said, we've been trying to

311
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: reach an agreement with Amazon to give customers, consumers access

312
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: to each other's products and services. But Amazon does not

313
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: carry Google products like Chromecast or Google Home, doesn't make

314
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: Prime Video available for Google Cast users. Last month, stops

315
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: selling some of Nest's latest products. Given this lack of reciprocity,

316
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: reciprocity reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo

317
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: show on fireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement

318
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: to resolve these issues soon. So what does this mean, Mike?

319
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: This means that it's a bargaining chip. And here's the

320
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: worst part. All the consumers that bought a fireTV for

321
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: the holidays lose out. I mean, amaz sound YouTube is

322
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: one of the best apps on there. You know, you

323
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: get access to everything, and it's just not there anymore,

324
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: so or it's not going to be there.

325
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: Now, that's good.

326
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty smart that they said let's

327
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: let's do this as of January first, because I think

328
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: that they're trying to give the two companies some time

329
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: to work things out. That's what I'm guessing. So do

330
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: you have one of these? Do you have a fire TV?

331
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: No? Actually don't I have the rokup. I was going

332
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: to ask you if I would be able to access

333
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 5: it on rokup.

334
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: You should be able to. Roku is like the the Switzerland.

335
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: They have everything. I mean, as far as I know,

336
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Roku has basically every app without without exception, I mean,

337
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: I think except iTunes. Obviously nobody has that except Apple,

338
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I.

339
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 5: Think it'll be I'll check it out, y'all check it

340
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: out on ro crue. Well, listen, it's been a pleasure

341
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,520

00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,920

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad. You're glad you're back on. And I'm

344
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: glad you're safe out there. Stay safe and uh don't

345
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: breathe into too much because uh man, we're I'm smelling

346
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: it out here in LA and you know, from West

347
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: l An.

348
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Rich, thanks to.

349
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: Talk to you, everybody, all right, Mike, have a good one,

350
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of Roku. The most popular searches on roku. So

351
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: let's see Roku's end of year search data twenty seventeen.

352
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: Most search TV shows Ready number one, Game of Thrones,

353
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: number two, Paw Patrol. That's probably me searching for that.

354
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Number three, This is Us number four, Walking Dead number five,

355
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: Big Bang Theory, and most search movies number one, Mowana,

356
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: and I just recently watched that. That was a fantastic

357
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: little movie. Number two, Guardians of the Galaxy, number three, Trolls,

358
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: number four John Wick. I did not see that one,

359
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: and number five is sing. So I've seen all of these,

360
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: basically all these movies except John Wick. I'm not familiar

361
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: with that one. I think that was like an action movie, right,

362
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: But Guardians of the Galaxy was good, and Mohana was great.

363
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: Trolls was one of my favorites. Sing Ever since my

364
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: kids watched that, they keep saying that line, the uh,

365
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: what's the butt line in that movie. It's like Baby's

366
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: got back or something like that, and they just love

367
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: that anything that has to do with, you know, butt lines,

368
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: Like what's the other one they watch? Yeah, a Captain

369
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Underpants and there's like all kinds of potty humor in

370
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: that one, and yeah, you let your kids watch that

371
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: and next thing, you know, they learn a couple of things.

372
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, Roku is they they have all the streaming

373
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: services on there. I mean, Roku is really good when

374
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: it comes to that stuff. And I think that they've

375
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: they've done that on purpose because if you see all

376
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: these fights, we're seeing with the various service providers. Roku's like,

377
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't care. We just want to

378
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: have everyone on here. And they've done a really good

379
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: job at having that. So when you look on their

380
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: web page, you see, okay, see what's on. I mean,

381
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: let's just see what they have here, Direct TV now

382
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: right up on there, YouTube, Pandora, PlayStation View, CBS News, Pluto,

383
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: ced W ABC. Wow, they kind of leave some of

384
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: the big ones out of here.

385
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: Huh.

386
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of weird. You would think they would have

387
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: like Netflix and all those right at the beginning, but

388
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: I guess they don't really. I guess everyone Netflix is

389
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: like A that's like A that's like rst l n E.

390
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: If you're on if you're on Wheel of Fortune, everyone

391
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: has Netflix, all right? Your phone calls after this at

Speaker 1: Oh, thank you love you.

404
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 6: A long time ago when I was, you know, on

405
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 6: your chat on the you know, in the mornings, you

406
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 6: said that there was a place to fix uh computers

407
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 6: or laptops for free.

408
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I believe you're well okay, so not really

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: fix them they Okay, So what I was talking, I

410
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: think what you're referring to is when I said, uh,

411
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: the Microsoft Store will kind of clean out your computer

412
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: of viruses and all that stuff. Is that what you mean? Yes, okay, yes,

413
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: So here are the details Microsoft Store. You have to

414
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: go to a official Microsoft store. So if it's there's one,

415
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you go to like Microsoft Microsoft store,

416
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: you have to go to like their official website, okay,

417
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: and find where they are.

418
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 3: Now.

419
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: I know there's a store at the There used to

420
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: be one at the West Side Pavilion. I think they're

421
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: still there. I think there's one in the Valley somewhere,

422
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: and I think there's one in like Coasta, Mesa. So

423
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: go on there look for a official store like Microsoft

424
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: store locations. I'm looking here, and let's see what area

425
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: do you live in.

426
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 6: I live in the South Bay, Lowndale, Redondo, b.

427
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so I think the closest one to you is

428
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: going to be at Los Ciritos. Is that nearby.

429
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 6: Well it's a kind of a ride, but I could

430
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 6: get down there.

431
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's not really a problem.

432
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: They've got a couple. I mean, they've got the closest

433
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: one after that would probably be Santa Monica, and then

434
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: they also have one in Glendale Galleria. So anyway, my

435
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: point is, you have to go to a real store,

436
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: You bring your computer in, you make an appointment with

437
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: them online and they will basically kind of clear out

438
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: your computer, look for any viruses on there, get the

439
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: viruses off, clear out malware, and they do it all

440
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: for free. And it is actually for free. So I know,

441
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: we got a ton of response from that story when

442
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: we did it, And believe me, I had to call

443
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: Microsoft like fifteen times after the story because people kept

444
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: telling me I went there and they wouldn't do it

445
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: for free. And I said, are you sure you went

446
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: to a real Microsoft store because I've these people so

447
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: many times, you know, and they do do it. So

448
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: what's wrong with your computer?

449
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 6: It won't it won't connect to my internet in the house.

450
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 6: Interesting and I, yeah, it's really weird. I don't know

451
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 6: it did it and then all of a sudden. I

452
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 6: mean I've had it for a couple I have had

453
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 6: it for about three or four years, so you know

454
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 6: it's you can try it anyway. Thank you, Yeah, thank

455
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 6: you for the information. I do watch you in the mornings.

456
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 6: I love Channel five. I love everybody on there.

457
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,280

Speaker 1: Hi, who am I speaking with?

464
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: Hi?

465
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: This is Marie Marie.

466
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: What's going on? Marie?

467
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: Hey?

468
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: I was wondering. I'm in the More Park area and

469
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: as you know, there's a lot of fires going on

470
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: and I'm hearing a lot of I don't know what

471
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 3: to think and when to be biser an app that

472
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 3: is more real time with as far as fire alerts

473
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: or a lot of like urgencies and things like that

474
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: that I could download onto my phone. It's more real

475
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: time as far as you know, emergency type.

476
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

477
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. So this is the problem

478
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: with like our internet you know nowadays is like there's

479
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: so much information that you're just like, we're overwhelmed, And

480
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: I agree. It's like, especially with something like the fires,

481
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: there's been there's been a ton of stuff that's out there,

482
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: a couple of resources that I think are decent. I haven't,

483
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, because I've been following these two for you know,

484
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of the the news and kind of seeing what

485
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: I can bring to the you know, ad to the

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: reporting coverage that we've had for KTLA, and it's it's tough.

487
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of stuff on Twitter. Are

488
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: you on Twitter at all?

489
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: Not at all?

490
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: Okay? So I mean that is that is a very

491
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: good place to start if you want to do that.

492
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,439

00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, tweet or whatever. But on Twitter, I've been

494
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: following a lot of the a lot of the even

495
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,680

496
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: see you don't have to even join to look at these.

497
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: But let me just tell you some of that I've

498
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: been that I've been following in the last couple of days.

Speaker 1: think that's called. And those have all been really good.

505
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: The other thing, do you have an Android or an

506
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: iPhone Android? Okay? Try have you tried searching southern California fires? Okay?

507
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: If you search that on Google, it actually brings up

508
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: kind of a special wildfire section in Google. And even

509
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: if I search it on my computer, it does the

510
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: same thing. And it gives you a whole bunch of updates,

511
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: official updates, It gives you a map of the affected areas.

512
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: It gives you a whole bunch of stuff from there.

513
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: Now that's some of the some of the best stuff

514
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: I found. I didn't find there was that one, like,

515
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, perfect app that gives you all this information. Yeah,

516
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: but that's those are the resources that I found. I know.

517
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: Are you how close are you to these fires?

518
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 4: Well?

519
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: Right now, let's just say everything is packed in my car.

520
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, my in laws were right there with you.

521
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: They're same thing.

522
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: You know.

523
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: It's like what I wish is I wish we had

524
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: like our personal helicopter that you can just literally look over,

525
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, and see everything. Right, that's what you want

526
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: to see, is like that aerial.

527
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: View of the whole time, right, well at not you

528
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: just see it right there on the ridge. And when

529
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: the winds pick up, deaths where we're more at a risk.

530
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: So oh man, well we're just waiting. Well, stay safe

531
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: and make sure you have those alerts on your phone too.

532
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: I talked about those those safety alerts. Did you get

533
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: one last night?

534
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 5: Yes? I did.

535
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: I also saw you this morning. Yeah, that definitely woke

536
00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: me up out of my bed.

537
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

538
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people got those, but I

539
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: would check for those and just you know, just I

540
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: think the TV and the radio are going to help

541
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: you as well, because they're going to do they're going

542
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: to do the updates as well. So stay safe out there.

543
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for calling in. I do appreciate it.

544
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: And again, now you just see that there are real

545
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: people that are affected by these fires, and it's scary

546
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: when you're home, like my in laws, they are sitting

547
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: there with everything packed up in their car and just

548
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: wondering what's going to happen, you know, do they have

549
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: to evacuate do they not? And it's really crazy when

550
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: you're going through your house. Not that I've had to

551
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: do this, but when you're going through deciding what you're

552
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: going to keep and what you're going to save. I mean,

553
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: that's really a weird feeling to have, knowing that you

554
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: can come back to an empty place and nothing there.

555
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: And I think I showed this video today on Channel five,

556
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: this YouTuber who basically lost his house in the fire. Yeah,

557
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: it's the number thirty video on YouTube. It's called my

558
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: House Burned Down And if you want to google that

559
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: to watch, it's pretty all right. Uh, here we go.

560
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,680

Speaker 5: Thank you?

568
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,680

569
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 7: Well, first, I want to say, Rich, you are so intelligent.

00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 7: You give us so much information. So I want to

574
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 7: thank you so much for you know, having that that

575
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 7: kindness and caring about us as individuals only goal you okay,

576
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 7: and you do quite well. Wish it. Thank you. The

577
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 7: reason why I'm calling you is I live in Whitewater.

578
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 7: I don't know if you're familiar with it. It's a

579
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: rural area out here near Morongo Casino. Okay, we have

580
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 7: mountains all around us, and thank the Lord, we don't

581
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 7: have any fires at this point, thank God, and old

582
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 7: not to. But the reason I'm calling you is what

583
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 7: where can I get the best app for my area

584
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 7: because all the fires are down near Los Angeles, and

585
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 7: unfortunately we are a fire alert because it's we we

586
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 7: kind of live in a tunnel of airwaves because of

587
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 7: all the mountains around us. On the mountain like, yeah,

588
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 7: oh absolutely, I mean sometimes their gusts are just unbelievable.

589
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 7: U But and we've been having them really very strongly

590
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 7: right now in the last couple of days too as well.

591
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: So it concerns me because I'm not sleeping real well

592
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 7: because I'm scared that we're going to get caught on

593
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: fire out there. And there's only one way out and

594
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 7: one way in where I live on White Water. So

595
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 7: how can I how can I like just you know,

596
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 7: make sure we're going to be okay, you know, and

597
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 7: if something does happen, my phone is always with me

598
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 7: at night. If I could get an alert or what

599
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 7: can I go to up here?

600
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think I mean, I'm looking at who responds

601
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: for you guys, it looks like CalFire Riverside is the

602
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: responding party Riverside County Fire Department. Does that sound right?

603
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 7: Okay?

604
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So the first thing I would do is I

605
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: would follow them on Twitter and look on their Twitter

606
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: page because they've got CalFire r Are you? CalFire R?

607
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 4: Are you?

608
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: And they actually they actually follow me, So I would

609
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: follow them, and then here's the thing. And then once

610
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: you follow them, you'll actually get a couple of suggestions

611
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: for other places to follow. Are you on Twitter at all?

612
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 7: You know what? I have a Twitter account, honestly, don't

613
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 7: use it.

614
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Well, this might be the time, Okay, Yeah, I mean

615
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Facebook is probably They're going to probably have some stuff

616
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: on there too, but I think Twitter is a little

617
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: bit more immediate. But I would follow them. And then

618
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: once you follow them, there's a little there's a way

619
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: on Twitter when you follow someone, they're on your phone.

620
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: There is a way to get notifications, so whenever they tweet,

621
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: they will actually send it to your phone, almost like

622
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: a text message. So that will be handy because you

623
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: don't have to sit there and check all the time.

624
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: So when you're on your phone and you follow someone

625
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: and I'll just look at my phone to see. So

626
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: if I go on my phone and I follow, let's

627
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: say this person, there's a little a little it looks

628
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: like a bell next to their name. When you say follow,

629
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: you press that bell, and every time that that person tweets,

630
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: you will get that scent as a text, basically a

631
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: notification to your phone. So I would start with the

632
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: CalFire Riverside and then I would probably go into the

633
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: San Bernardino one as well, CalFire News and CalFire. Those

634
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: are going to start you with some of that stuff,

635
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be your best bet

636
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: to start. And then of course you can get with hashtags.

637
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm seeing they're talking about a Liberty fire.

638
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: Is that that looks like it's in sort of Temecula area,

639
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: So that's not really nearby?

640
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and that's no, No, it's not nearby that

641
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 7: the other side on past Paris and all that. But

642
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 7: the thing is is we're so barnable out here, which

643
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 7: we really are because of the way we're surrounded by

644
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 7: mountains and my particular home on Cowsman behind us. There

645
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 7: are no houses because I believe that Edison either owns it,

646
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 7: there's leasing that land, and it's only about a half

647
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 7: a mile away from the actual mountains. Oh wow, right,

648
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 7: so if it takes place, it's only going to take

649
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 7: a matter of minutes to get to our home, I mean,

650
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 7: because there's nothing to block it.

651
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Wow.

652
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 7: So I just I'm so concerned.

653
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: You know, that's scary. Yeah, And then you know, there's

654
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: other things you can do. There's like some apps that

655
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 1: have scanners on them. If you really think you're in danger,

656
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: you know you can you can download some of these

657
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: scanner apps they have for iPhone as well, kind of

658
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: like listening to a police scanner, which is what we

659
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: do in the newsroom as well. So you could search

660
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: for those in the app store. But Deborah, stay safe

661
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: out there. I know it's it's some crazy times here.

662
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: The winds seeing here in Los Angeles are just insane

663
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920

00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: just it's just interesting how real it is, you know,

672
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: to people that are affected, and it's it's a lot

00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: Best deal I could find.

Speaker 1: Ye, that's awesome.

Speaker 4: Absolutely.

696
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: What's your favorite part about the Note eight so far?

697
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 4: Just the speed? I mean the fact that I've loaded

698
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 4: it up with all the apps that I had to

699
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 4: delete out of my other notes because it was going

700
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 4: so slow. I mean, with six gigs a RAM, this

701
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 4: thing is a monster.

702
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's a It literally has every single feature

703
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: that you can have on a smartphone. Like, there isn't

704
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: one feature that it doesn't have. It's got the dual cameras,

705
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: it's got the large battery, it's got the memory card,

706
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: it's got the the big screen, it's got the edgeless screen,

707
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: it's got the wireless charging, it's got the water runner resistance.

708
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing it doesn't have.

709
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, absolutely, I mean I am, I am. You know,

710
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 4: like any new phone, you know, you gotta get used

711
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: to all the new features. But I mean it's been great,

712
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 4: of course.

713
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Well I love it. I'm glad you upgraded and you

714
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: got it. Sounds like you made out like a bandit.

715
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Three hundred bucks for a gift card is pretty good.

716
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Have you spent that yet now.

717
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 4: Well no, But what I did do is, after I

718
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 4: bought the Google Home Mini, I went back the Best

719
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 4: Buys and I don't want to say it was a mistake,

720
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: because you always wanted up spend a lot of money

721
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 4: when you go back in, of course. But the guy

722
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 4: sold me. Guys sold me the three pack of Google

723
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 4: Wi Fi, which normally goes for about three hundred bucks.

724
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 4: Evidently somebody online that they match had it for one

725
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 4: hundred and nineteen dollars. So I got that for one

726
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 4: hundred and nineteen dollars.

727
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: For a three pack. For a three pack, Oh wow,

728
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: that's a great deal. I saw for like one hundred

729
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: nineteen bucks for a one pack the other day, So

730
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: that's amazing. All right. So you've got the best online,

731
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: you've got the best WiFi, you've got the best phone,

732
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: and Sam, I think I think you're all hooked up now.

733
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 4: Absolutely. What can you tell me about Google Chrome though,

734
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 4: I bought that too.

735
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: The Chrome Cast a little Chrome cast thing, yeah, so yeah.

736
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: Chrome Cast is basically it's a you hook it up

737
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: to the HDMI port on the back of your TV

738
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: and now you can cast things from your phone. So

739
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: you basically use your phone as remote, and the video

740
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: does not actually stream and the media does not stream

741
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: from your phone. What it's doing is it's making that

742
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: connection on the back end. So the Chrome cast is

743
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: really just kind of going onto the Internet and pulling

744
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: whatever video or audio or content that you're asking it

745
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: to pull. So it's a pretty brilliant little device, and

746
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: it's great and I love using it. My favorite is

747
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: to set up my pictures as my backdrop, So definitely

748
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: check that out. Sam, set that up and I will

749
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: talk to you next week. All right, very cool? All right.

750
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: I want to tell you guys about this cool, this

751
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: neat little Chrome extension. I found that they sent me

752
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: a thing about it, and I didn't really believe it

753
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: because I thought I found out about all the extensions

754
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: that helped me save money. But this one is actually

755
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. The last couple times I kind of forgot that.

756
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: I installed it on my computer and it really works well.

757
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: It's called wiki by Wiki b Uy, and you install it.

758
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: It's a Chrome extension and when you're shopping online, it

759
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: automatically finds a better price of the item that you're

760
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: shopping for and also coupon codes. So I was booking

761
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: something and I kind of forgot that this app was

762
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: on there. Didn't even think it would work on this website,

763
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: And next thing, you know, it saved me like sixteen bucks,

764
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: and on a Toya was wanting to buy, it was

765
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: like ten dollars. So again, it's called wiki by Wiki

766
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: Buy and it's all automated. So I watched it try

767
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: like five different coupon codes when I was shopping on

768
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: this website, and one of them, you know, it picks

769
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: the one that has the best price, the one that

770
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: gives you the biggest, the biggest deal. So I thought

771
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. Check it out Wiki by Wiki Buy.

772
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: It takes a lot for me to not buy something

773
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: on Amazon, so it's got to be a really good deal. Like,

774
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: even if it's like two or three dollars more on

775
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: a different website, I'll probably just stick to Amazon because

776
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: I have my credit card and all that stuff saved there,

777
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Plus I have the prime shipping, all right. Dog question

778
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: from social media. This comes via email from Janella Mooney.

779
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: She says, my family has always had iPhones. This Christmas,

780
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna upgrade all them to iPhone eight, but my

781
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: son doesn't want an iPhone. He wants a Google Pixel

782
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: And the main reason we have iPhones is an app

783
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: called Find My Friends that let us know where our

784
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: kids are at all times. My question to you is

785
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: there a similar app on Google Pixel that will be

786
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: compatible with iPhone to help keep a tabs on my

787
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: kid ps looking for free or reasonably yearly cost? And

788
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: yes there is. To answer your question, Janella, it is

789
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: called Trusted Contacts. So this is from Google and it's

790
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: called Trusted Contacts. And what you do is you just

791
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: install it on both of your phones. You sign in.

792
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: Your son will grant you his location permission. You trust

793
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: him basically, or he trusts you, vice versa, and now

794
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: you can see where he is on a map at

795
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: all times. I do this with my wife. She can

796
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: go on her Google Maps. I show right up as

797
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: a little dot. It's probably more information than she needs,

798
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: but there you have it. I mean, I was testing

799
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: this out. I set it up and I forgot to

800
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: turn it off, so she always gets my location. I

801
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: don't have hers. She never reciprocated him. I shall look

802
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: into that, but that's what it is. It's called Trusted Contacts.

803
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: There's other ways to do it. But why pay for

804
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: something when this does it for free and it works

805
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: pretty darn well. So check out Trusted Contacts. All right,

806
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: We've got just a little bit left in the show,

807
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do a fast questions from you. This

808
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: is the fire, the rapid fire segment. So if you

809
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: have a question or a comment, I will read them

810
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: on the on the comments right now. So Lelana says,

811
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: please help. I need to start doing uber. I want

812
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: to buy a good GPS with Bluetooth, but I can't

813
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: spend more than one hundred dollars. What are your suggestions

814
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: for like a GPS or a phone? I think you

815
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you need a phone or a GPS.

816
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: I don't know about the GPS is anymore. I don't

817
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I haven't bought a standalone GPS in so long, but

818
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: I would look at maybe something like Tom Tom. I

819
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't really man standalone GPS. I don't

820
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: think people really buy I didn't even know they sold

821
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: those anymore. But let's see if we find one Garman,

822
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Garmin's a good one. I would just look

823
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: for something that's cheap, but I would go with an

824
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: app on a phone because you probably want the up

825
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: to date directions. Now, if you want a phone that's

826
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: under one hundred dollars, I would recommend looking at the

827
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime phones. And if I had to pick one

828
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: that was under one hundred dollars, I will tell you

829
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: which one I would get. Let's see. I would go

830
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: for the Moto E. The Moto E which is ninety

831
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: nine to ninety nine if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber.

832
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Let's see. Nancy says, Carbonite is ending its mobile device backup?

833
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: Can you recommend an alternate service for photos and videos

834
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: on our phones and tablets? Nancy, I would just go

835
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: with Google Photos. It's totally free and you won't have

836
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: to worry about it going out of business. Carbonite was good,

837
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, the fact that they're going out is kind

838
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: of a bummer. And Brian says, got my Note eight

839
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and I love it without at the stylust is the

840
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: best part. Also, just received my Gear three sixty camera

841
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: and yeah the Note day. Like I said, I mean,

842
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: what a great device. So I understand why you like

843
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: that so much. Man, already we're it's over. The show
