WEBVTT - SoCal Fire Resources, Amazon on Apple TV & Wikibuy Savings Extension [209] 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.960 What's going on? Rich Demiro here Rich on tech dot tv. 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.120 This is the podcast where we talk about technology, helping 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.000 you get the most out of your gadgets, the coolest 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.000 new websites, the best new apps, and all the things 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.560 that happened in the tech world in the last week. 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:31.120 I will discuss and hopefully make you a smarter tech person. 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.800 And that's the goal of the show, is to really 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.080 just make tech a bigger part of your life. And 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.519 you know, look, we all have a smartphone, we all 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.479 have a computer, or many of us do, and some 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.480 of us have an iPad, and all this tech that's 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.199 crowding up our lives. Why not make the most of it. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.520 That's really what I try to do in this show. 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.720 So if you're listening on the podcast, thanks so much 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.600 for downloading the show. If you're watching on Facebook Live, 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.440 which a lot of you are behind the scenes, thanks 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.960 so much for tuning in on the Facebook page Facebook 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.640 dot com slash on tech. I take your calls as well, 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.759 so you can call me if you have a tech question. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.479 Three one zero five nine four three zero zero three. 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.600 And you know, this week in Los Angeles has been 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.840 a very very tough week. This has been probably one 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.800 of the craziest weeks that I've ever experienced in my 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.800 time here in LA and I've been here for a while. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.360 We've had fires all over the place. I mean literally 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.200 just surrounded. And the weird thing about this city is 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.199 that it's so large that if you're in an area 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.800 where the fires are nearby, it truly affects your day 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.800 to day life. But you could be an hour away 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.080 and still live in Los Angeles and you know, not 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.959 be affected at all. So there are a lot of people. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.160 My in laws were super affected by some of the 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.280 fires in West LA. They didn't have to evacuate, but 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.280 they got pretty close. And we're not out of the 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.200 woods just yet as I tape this, So to everyone 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.880 that's been affected, definitely, my heart goes out to you. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.360 Stay safe out there, and all the people that have 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:04.640 volunteered and helped out throughout these fires. You've been amazing. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.240 So those firefighters out there on the front lines, and 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.080 even the reporters I work with who had to go 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:13.040 out there. Even where I live, I could smell the 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.600 smoke and the soot everywhere. I mean, there's just ash 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.000 in the air, ash covering our cars here. So it's 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.160 definitely been an interesting one and we're not out of 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.079 the woods just yet because the winds are still pretty high. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.400 So we've got a lot of talk about so many 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.040 things happened this week in technology. I think probably the 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.600 biggest story of the week is that Amazon is now 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.679 on Apple TV. And that's a big deal because now 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:46.040 Apple TV has basically become the platform that offers everything. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.880 So there's only two platforms that pretty much have it 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.919 all at this point, and that is Roku and Apple TV. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.840 So Amazon Prime Video has arrived on Apple TV. The 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.440 app arrived, so you can download Amazon Prime Video, and 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.040 what you can do with this is access the Prime 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:08.360 original series and movies. So basically, if there's a show 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.600 on Amazon that you like, like The Big Sick is 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.399 a movie that's out, and you can get that for 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.119 free now on Apple TV. If you're a Prime subscriber, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.720 you can kind of keep track of shows that you 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.160 want to watch. You can basically you can finally access 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.760 Amazon's videos for free on Apple TV. If you're a 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.040 Prime Video or if you're a Prime customer. This is 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.640 a big deal because now they pretty much have everything. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.400 And I'm seeing in the chat room that Chris is 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.120 saying they don't have Spotify, and that's a very good point. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.440 I was thinking all of the video things that they 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.560 do offer, and you're right, Apple really likes to direct 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.920 you towards their products. And actually, you know what Apple 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.800 TV failed me last night. I will tell you this 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.840 because I bought this movie for the kids. It was 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:02.600 ten bucks. It was the Trolls Holiday Movie. And all 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.960 these services what they're trying to do is tell you 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.840 where these movies are playing for free. And so you know, 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.720 I saw the new Trolls thing. It was on the 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.000 front screen whatever, it was on the iTunes store, and 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.680 I said, oh, that's cool, ten bucks whatever, And next 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.240 thing you know, I bought it and I'm looking at 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.200 my phone today and it's free on Netflix. And the 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.880 weird thing about Apple TV, depending on how you search it, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.240 sometimes you will see basically there's a secret way to 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.599 search on Apple TV that you need to know about. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.400 You have to search using your voice, and that's the 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.280 way that it's going to take you to a special 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.560 screen that tells you where everything is playing or inside 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.640 the TV app. If you go direct to iTunes on 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.120 Apple TV, you're only going to get what's available on 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.240 iTunes and you're only you're gonna pay for anything that's 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.320 on there. So long story short, two things that you 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.520 can't get now with the Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.400 And this might take you a little bit to kind 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.080 of realize, but once you realize, you're like, oh, yeah, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.680 you cannot buy movies through Amazon Prime Video, nor can 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.120 you rent movies through Amazon Prime Video. So that's kind 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.280 of weird. And the reason for that is that Apple 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.400 takes a thirty percent cut of basically anything that has 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.360 purchased through their platform, and Amazon is like, nope, we're 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.400 not giving that up. So that means that they just 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.960 take that functionality out of it. It's the same reason 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.760 why you can't buy any ebooks on the Kindle. You 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.200 sit there, on the Kindle app on the iPad, you 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.040 sit there and you're like, wait a second, what's missing here? 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.800 I can't buy a book. Well, yeah, because they want 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.640 you to buy it through Eyebooks. So that's the difference, 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.719 and it's not really it's not Apple doing that. Apple 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.359 saying sure, Amazon, do whatever you want, but Amazon's like, no, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.719 we're not giving away thirty percent of our revenue because 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.120 you control a huge part of the market. But there 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.360 you have it. I mean, I personally have not found 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.560 a show that I want to watch on Amazon Prime Video. 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.240 I've tried a bunch of them, and I've just not 0:05:58.400 --> 0:05:59.960 seen any that I like. You know, all their rich 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.159 programming now for the kids, I think it's fantastic. Lots 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.600 of great shows for the kids, and I think they 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.680 have a decent amount of movies. But when it comes 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.359 to the original series, I guess, let's see what original series. Okay, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.039 the tick, I don't know. I haven't watched that, the 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.040 Grand Tour that arrives on December eighth. Let's see what 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.240 else do they mentioned here? They don't even have any 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.719 They can't even mention, like more than they don't even 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.400 mention that many of them in here because they know 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.359 that nobody really cares about their shows, which is sad. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.120 I hope that people do. Man in the High Castle 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.320 someone mentioned I tried watching that. My friend was an 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.400 editor on that, and I didn't even really like that one. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.360 I kind of got into it for like two episodes 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.000 and then I just lost interest. Anyway, at the end 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.520 of the day, Amazon Prime Video is still an amazing 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.440 thing to have on the Apple TV, And let's see 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.360 which ones does it work on. Let me make sure 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.080 so that you guys know, because some of you might 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.839 have older models of the Apple TV. So let's see 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.800 which one does it say? Does it say okay, Apple TV, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.679 Amazon Prime Video? It does not say which one it's on. Oh, well, 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.880 you're just going to figure it out. Just look. Just 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.040 look on your Apple TV and see if it's available. So, yeah, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.280 it is online. But there you have it. This is 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.960 kind of cool. Look at this. Look what they sent me. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.600 This is Super Mario Cereal. Well, if you're listening to 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.960 the podcast, you can't see it, but this is the 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.760 new Sereal I've been playing. You guys know if you've 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.400 listened to this podcast that I've been playing a lot 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.800 of Super Mario Odyssey. Well this is the new Super 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.240 Mario Cereal. And it is also an amebo, so you 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:41.400 can scan the box and get you know, like a 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.400 I guess a couple like an extra life or some 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.320 power ups whatever it does. So that's kind of cool. Nintendo, 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.520 thanks for sending that to me before everyone else. It's 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.760 in stores on December eleventh. If you want to call 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.280 in and talk about tech, it is three one zero 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.960 five nine four three zero zero three three one zero 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.360 five nine four three zero zero three. That is the 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.040 phone number that's going to get you in. And if, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.600 by the way, you don't know who I am, if 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.520 you've been listening this long and you still don't know, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.480 on the Tech Reporter at KTLA five News in Los Angeles, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.840 So normally you'll see me on there early in the 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.840 morning talking about technology and all kinds of fun stuff 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.760 because to me, this is very exciting. It's very exciting 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.720 to see, like literally, Apple TV did not have that 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.840 functionality yesterday of Prime Video, and all of a sudden, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.000 now it does. I love that. I mean, how cool 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.640 is that that basically everything we're getting now is becoming 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:40.920 software based and everything that you have can basically get 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.880 new functionality overnight. And I love that. So everyone that 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.319 bought an Apple TV over the holidays or got one, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.920 you know now they if you didn't have Amazon for 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.480 the longest time and now you have it. So I 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.480 find that really interesting and that's why I really love 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.880 this stuff. Same thing with our phones. I mean, you 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.240 just keep getting new little features out at your phone 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.800 us on a weekly basis, like Apple Pay and what 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.719 is it called not Apple Pay, Apple Pay Cash that's 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.439 the new name. I'll talk about that in just a moment. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.000 You're listening to rich on tech Live. This is the 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.439 podcast where we talk technology.

Welcome back to rich on tech On 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.280 rich DeMuro and we are talking technology and taking your 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.320 calls at three one zero five to nine four three 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.440 zero zero three, three one zero five to nine four 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.360 three zero zero three. The phone lines are open, so 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.080 give me a call and you can talk about whatever 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.040 you want. If you have a tech issue, if you 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.240 have something you're trying to decide to buy for the 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.520 holiday season, something that just isn't working for I can answer, well, 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.400 you know what, I can't answer everything, but I will 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:09.120 definitely give you an answer. How about that Apple Pay 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:15.120 This is now launching on Apple iPhones obviously, and Apple 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.320 pay is uh this is a new part of Apple Pay. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.800 It's Apple pay Cash. So you're probably already familiar with 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.320 Apple Pay. You can use it to you know, use 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.400 your credit card to pay stuff. Well, now you can 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.520 use apple Pay to send and receive money to friends 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.160 and family. And this is kind of a killer thing. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.640 I know. We already have PayPal, we already have Venmo, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.400 we have my personal favorite, which is square Cash, but 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.400 now we have Apple doing it. And guess what when 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.960 Apple does something, what does that mean? It means that 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.640 is it is now the best for Apple users. And 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.360 I'm not saying that. I'm kind of saying that facetiously 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.880 because everyone that's an Apple user could have used Square cash. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.360 But the other day when I asked someone if they 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.600 accept square cast, They're like, no, I'll just take a check, 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.280 thank you, And I'm like, why why not use Square cash. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.640 I'm not a fan of but everyone uses it, and 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.360 you know, I just don't like it. I don't. I 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.640 don't need my my payments public with everyone. You know, 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.679 they put they put whatever you buy for someone, they 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.280 put it like in a feed, Like why does someone 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:14.880 need to know that I pay them back forty bucks 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.320 for something I don't. I don't get that. But a 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.640 lot of people use it, especially in the schools, So 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.240 I am signed up with that one as well. Apple 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.920 pay Cash basically uses the credit or debit card that 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.800 you already have on file with Apple Pay and now 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.240 you can just pay your friends. And I'm assuming it's 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:36.720 free because I don't think that they charge you money 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:37.920 to send to your friends. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:38.439 Now. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.640 Usually that's kind of weird because if you pay you 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.920 know what, I bet you with the credit card. I 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.440 haven't tried this, but I bet you with a credit 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.240 card it does cost money. I'm not sure though, but 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.040 let's see Apple pay send and receive money. Yeah, it 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.680 doesn't say how much it costs. Maybe if you guys 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:52.199 have tried it in the chat room, you can tell 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.000 me if they charge for Apple pay cash when you're 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.240 using your credit card, usually with your debit card, it's 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.600 free like on Square cash. And then if you use 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.560 your credit card to pay someone, they'll charge you like 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.240 I think a three percent transaction fee, which is not 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.280 a ton of money. If you're paying someone twenty dollars 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.320 two times three, I mean that's not that you know, 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.320 what is that sixty cents? I don't know. It's not 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.800 that much. So there you have it, and now it's 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.920 just an I message. So I think it's gonna do 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.400 one of those things where if you say, hey, you 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.520 owe me thirty dollars, the I message will be like Hey, 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.120 do you want to pay this person with Apple Pay 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.320 so smart idea. I personally like you know third party 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.920 options better, but I know this is built into every 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.760 iPhone in the world, so all of a sudden it's 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.760 going to become very, very popular. Three one zero five 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.560 nine four, three zero zero three is the phone number. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:39.920 I know you guys have been calling. I haven't been 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.240 able to answer because a couple of you guys are 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.760 coming in all at the same time. So three one 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.000 zero five nine four three zeros or three. Oh you 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.360 know what, here we go. We got a regular on. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.640 We got Mike from a Ventura. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.959 Mic It's my friend. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.000 How are you good? 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:54.319 Are you? 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:54.880 Uh? 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.480 Now you're in ventur I know, so, are you near 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:58.240 the fires or what? 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.520 The fire is currently burning in Santa Paula, which is 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.600 about twelve or fifteen mins where I live. We're in 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.240 no immediate danger right now where I live. However, this 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:13.640 focus unbearable times. It's hard to breathe. But the last 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.280 report is it was headed northward Santa Barbara, which is 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.679 kind of a nerving for them out there. I have 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:20.920 relatips up there. 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.800 Yeah, man, this has been bad. How long have you 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:24.560 lived out here? 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.760 I've lived in California all my life, originally from Santa Barbara, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.760 but I moved to Venture in nineteen eighty six. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.040 And what do you think? Do you think this is 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.160 the worst you've seen or is it right up there? 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.440 Or what give us some perspective? 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.480 I think a good question. That's a good question. A 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.040 lot of people have asked me that. You know, I 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.439 do a lot of volunteer work with Ventura County Fire, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.040 so I've been in touch with them personally on a 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.520 personal level. I remember in nineteen sixty four in Santa 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.040 Barbara we have something called the California Fire and you 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.520 look from one rich top to the other end of 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.360 the city and the whole hillside would just go on fire. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.800 So this is nowhere near that. But Monday night has 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.280 stepped outside I live up there's a step outside and 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.600 looked and it was the same routine all over again. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.559 So one hill side to the other, it's pure fire. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.080 And I posted a lot of this on my Facebook page. Anyways, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.959 I have a question for you. You're asking about fire 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:18.240 and about my safety. Google YouTube video service from Google 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.360 they pulled out from Amazon's fire TV and Echo show. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.080 Why that would be my question? 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.480 It's like it's like two it's like two spoiled brats fighting, 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.760 you know what I mean. That's what it is. I mean. So, yeah, 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.680 Mike brings up a good, good question. So basically this 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:40.560 week this happened once before where Amazon Echo Show they 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.920 have YouTube on there, and Amazon or yeah YouTube, Google 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.960 basically said oh, we don't like how you're using YouTube 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.360 on here. We're just going to pull it off of there, 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.200 and so they did, but it came back a couple 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:54.440 of months later. Okay, well now they apparently, So here's 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.360 what's happened now. So now YouTube is going to be 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.480 pulled off the Echo Show as of today. This was 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.160 a couple of days ago. And then if if you 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.160 have a fireTV, Amazon is kind of amplifying it a 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.840 little bit more. YouTube is going to be off of 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:10.080 there as of January first, two thousand and eight, twenty eighteen. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:14.200 Rather so it's tough to know. Okay, so here's what 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.920 it says Amazon. Let's say a YouTube spoke, so it 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.000 looks like Google is doing this. Google is kind of 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.320 the perpetrator here, and Google said, we've been trying to 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.760 reach an agreement with Amazon to give customers, consumers access 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.000 to each other's products and services. But Amazon does not 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.480 carry Google products like Chromecast or Google Home, doesn't make 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.240 Prime Video available for Google Cast users. Last month, stops 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.880 selling some of Nest's latest products. Given this lack of reciprocity, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.000 reciprocity reciprocity, we are no longer supporting YouTube on Echo 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.240 show on fireTV. We hope we can reach an agreement 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.880 to resolve these issues soon. So what does this mean, Mike? 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.640 This means that it's a bargaining chip. And here's the 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.360 worst part. All the consumers that bought a fireTV for 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.960 the holidays lose out. I mean, amaz sound YouTube is 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:03.640 one of the best apps on there. You know, you 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.360 get access to everything, and it's just not there anymore, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:08.680 so or it's not going to be there. 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.240 Now, that's good. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.560 I think it was pretty smart that they said let's 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.200 let's do this as of January first, because I think 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.360 that they're trying to give the two companies some time 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:21.080 to work things out. That's what I'm guessing. So do 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:22.600 you have one of these? Do you have a fire TV? 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.760 No? Actually don't I have the rokup. I was going 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.200 to ask you if I would be able to access 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:27.880 it on rokup. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.320 You should be able to. Roku is like the the Switzerland. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.720 They have everything. I mean, as far as I know, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.120 Roku has basically every app without without exception, I mean, 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.440 I think except iTunes. Obviously nobody has that except Apple, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:43.400 But yeah, I. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.200 Think it'll be I'll check it out, y'all check it 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.280 out on ro crue. Well, listen, it's been a pleasure 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.520 talking to you. I'm glad to get back on the 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:51.920 show and become a regular again. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.720 Yeah, I'm glad. You're glad you're back on. And I'm 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.920 glad you're safe out there. Stay safe and uh don't 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.880 breathe into too much because uh man, we're I'm smelling 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.720 it out here in LA and you know, from West 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:04.159 l An. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.960 Yeah, okay, Rich, thanks to. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.560 Talk to you, everybody, all right, Mike, have a good one, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.600 Speaking of Roku. The most popular searches on roku. So 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.040 let's see Roku's end of year search data twenty seventeen. 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.120 Most search TV shows Ready number one, Game of Thrones, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.960 number two, Paw Patrol. That's probably me searching for that. 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.080 Number three, This is Us number four, Walking Dead number five, 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:33.800 Big Bang Theory, and most search movies number one, Mowana, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.359 and I just recently watched that. That was a fantastic 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.879 little movie. Number two, Guardians of the Galaxy, number three, Trolls, 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.000 number four John Wick. I did not see that one, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.160 and number five is sing. So I've seen all of these, 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.160 basically all these movies except John Wick. I'm not familiar 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.360 with that one. I think that was like an action movie, right, 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.359 But Guardians of the Galaxy was good, and Mohana was great. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.439 Trolls was one of my favorites. Sing Ever since my 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.000 kids watched that, they keep saying that line, the uh, 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.280 what's the butt line in that movie. It's like Baby's 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.680 got back or something like that, and they just love 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.760 that anything that has to do with, you know, butt lines, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.159 Like what's the other one they watch? Yeah, a Captain 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.560 Underpants and there's like all kinds of potty humor in 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.320 that one, and yeah, you let your kids watch that 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.040 and next thing, you know, they learn a couple of things. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:28.280 But yeah, Roku is they they have all the streaming 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.520 services on there. I mean, Roku is really good when 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.960 it comes to that stuff. And I think that they've 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.280 they've done that on purpose because if you see all 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.000 these fights, we're seeing with the various service providers. Roku's like, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:41.760 you know what, we don't care. We just want to 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.360 have everyone on here. And they've done a really good 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.960 job at having that. So when you look on their 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.800 web page, you see, okay, see what's on. I mean, 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.320 let's just see what they have here, Direct TV now 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:59.560 right up on there, YouTube, Pandora, PlayStation View, CBS News, Pluto, 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.760 ced W ABC. Wow, they kind of leave some of 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:04.600 the big ones out of here. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:04.960 Huh. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:06.760 That's kind of weird. You would think they would have 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.240 like Netflix and all those right at the beginning, but 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.040 I guess they don't really. I guess everyone Netflix is 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.600 like A that's like A that's like rst l n E. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.280 If you're on if you're on Wheel of Fortune, everyone 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:24.240 has Netflix, all right?
