Speaker 1: Instagram now lets you creep with friends. There's a new
Speaker 1: podcast app with a smart feature. Amazon takes a month
Speaker 1: to get you stuff, plus your tech questions answered.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the
Speaker 1: podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think
Speaker 1: you should know about and I answer the questions that
Speaker 1: you send me. My name is Rich Damiro, tech reporter
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Joining me is
Speaker 1: producer Megan, who is hashtag.
Speaker 2: Safe at home. What's going on? Producer Megan?
Speaker 3: Hello, how are you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: We've been working from home now for a week, right,
Speaker 1: this is the full week that we did this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is so crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's we're recording this on Thursday, and you
Speaker 1: know it's been since.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. The last day we were in at KATLA.
Speaker 1: Was on I think it was last Thursday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we full. So I will tell you my feelings
Speaker 2: on working from home. It is it is.
Speaker 1: I always thought it was a dream to work from home,
Speaker 1: and now I feel like it's a bit of a nightmare.
Speaker 3: Isn't that funny how that works out?
Speaker 1: Well, now you know, and now I know, and it's
Speaker 1: really weird because I did have this. I really did
Speaker 1: have this dream of like having my own little studio
Speaker 1: at home and doing my own thing and just coming
Speaker 1: and going as I please. And now I realized that
Speaker 1: I really like the tradition of going into the office
Speaker 1: doing my work, sitting at my desk, and what happens
Speaker 1: at home. And I have two kids and my wife
Speaker 1: are all at home. They're in homeschool, my wife is
Speaker 1: working from home, you know, all temporarily, of course, and
Speaker 1: it's just a circus, you know. I've got just so
Speaker 1: many things going on, like can I have milk?
Speaker 2: Can I have food? Can I can you set me
Speaker 2: up with this?
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to teach them, and it's you know
Speaker 1: a lot of breaks outside playing basketball.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really wild. What's it been like for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's super weird.
Speaker 4: I thought that I would like it, but honestly, I'm
Speaker 4: not the biggest fan. I mean, it's nice to be
Speaker 4: able to like go on a walk or like, you know,
Speaker 4: see my parents, but I already live at home, so
Speaker 4: it's I don't know. I what's funny is I went
Speaker 4: into Katla yesterday in the afternoon to go pick up
Speaker 4: some equipment, and I was actually so excited to like
Speaker 4: go actually see my like friends at work, and like
Speaker 4: I was like, I miss like being able to come
Speaker 4: in here, you know.
Speaker 1: And so I mean, it's so nice because no one
Speaker 1: has missed me at work.
Speaker 2: People don't even know.
Speaker 1: That I'm not there talking about Yeah, they have no
Speaker 1: idea like call in, They're like rich who I'm like, ah, demro,
Speaker 1: I'm on the show at seven am.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, hold on, let me transfer you.
Speaker 3: That's not true.
Speaker 1: Well, it's been interesting here. I did do my first
Speaker 1: live shot from home. We did a shoot from home,
Speaker 1: and it's there are definite pros, but I would say
Speaker 1: all the glorified images I had in my head of
Speaker 1: doing this are quickly gone.
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe if the two kids weren't home.
Speaker 1: It would be a little bit better. But anyway, it's
Speaker 1: been fun. I'm sure a lot of people are figuring
Speaker 1: out the same thing I am. Let's get started with
Speaker 1: some of the topics for the week. Lots of news
Speaker 1: surrounding coronavirus. No surprise, there a couple of new things
Speaker 1: that wireless carriers are doing. Basically, T Mobile and Sprint
Speaker 1: were the first to come out and say, you know,
Speaker 1: we're going to help people in this time by giving
Speaker 1: them unlimited data, and Verizon has I believe AT and
Speaker 1: T did the same thing. I got to look at
Speaker 1: my tweets because I've gotten it all so confused now.
Speaker 1: But the last man standing was really Verizon, who was
Speaker 1: kind of a holdout in this place of giving people
Speaker 1: help during this time. And now they have said that
Speaker 1: they are going to help people out by giving them
Speaker 1: not unlimited data, but they're giving them fifteen gigs of
Speaker 1: extra data. So this is for people that do not
Speaker 1: have an unlimited plan, which you know nowadays. I mean
Speaker 1: I'm unlimited, and a lot of people but not everyone
Speaker 1: is oh yeah, okay. So I'm looking at my tweet.
Speaker 1: AT and T is waving domestic wireless voice and data
Speaker 1: overage fees for customers nationwide for next sixty days from
Speaker 1: March thirteenth, and all the main companies are not They're
Speaker 1: waving late fees and not terminating your service if you
Speaker 1: can't pay your bill right now. And here's the thing
Speaker 1: you need to know about this though this is not
Speaker 1: in most of these cases, this is not automatic. The
Speaker 1: automatic is Tea Mobile, Sprint unlimited data.
Speaker 2: That's automatic.
Speaker 1: Verizon is automatically applying the fifteen gigs. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to all these late fees and you know, the
Speaker 1: not payment thing, you kind of I believe you need
Speaker 1: to call them and say, hey, you know, I need
Speaker 1: these things waved. I don't think that's just automatic. Maybe
Speaker 1: it will be if this gets really bad, but it's
Speaker 1: one of these things where they will charge you if
Speaker 1: they can, and if you don't notice it on your bill,
Speaker 1: then sure you'll just pay, but they know that you can,
Speaker 1: you know, call in and get these things taken off,
Speaker 1: so and I will just kind of un arelated note. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well if you see these charges, if they do show up,
Speaker 1: I don't really know because this is brand new. I've
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this before, so who knows. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll just wave it, you know, flip a few keys
Speaker 1: in the computer system and wave the fees.
Speaker 2: But I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: But if not, I mean, just look at your bill
Speaker 1: for the next two months and make sure everything's fine.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to mention related.
Speaker 1: You know, I was going to Hawaii and I had
Speaker 1: my stuff all booked up and everything was changed because
Speaker 1: of this whole situation, and I will say I was
Speaker 1: very impressed. I was able to change all three. I
Speaker 1: had two flights on two different airlines and also my
Speaker 1: hotel booking, and I was able to change everything. I
Speaker 1: had to do two of them on the phone, no
Speaker 1: weight whatsoever, and everything was fine. And then I had
Speaker 1: to do one online no weight. I called it like
Speaker 1: five am, right after, right after I went live on
Speaker 1: the radio.
Speaker 2: I said, Okay, now it's the time to call. And
Speaker 2: it worked.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that people are so kind and
Speaker 1: I didn't have to pay anything extra. So I switched
Speaker 1: my dates and I got to say I was very impressed.
Speaker 1: I was expecting to wait on hold for hours and that.
Speaker 2: Did not happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I had to change.
Speaker 4: I was supposed to be going to Italy, actually yesterday.
Speaker 4: I had to cancel this flight like a month and
Speaker 4: a half ago, because that's when coronavirus got there.
Speaker 3: It was about a month and a half ago. But yeah,
Speaker 3: we were supposed to leave yesterday for.
Speaker 4: Ten days and we haven't even thought about, you know,
Speaker 4: when we would go, because it's just such a mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were.
Speaker 4: Able to like, yeah, I know, Italy is like the
Speaker 4: worst place to be right now.
Speaker 1: And I feel bad because I wonder how long it's
Speaker 1: gonna take, because I mean, even you who had a
Speaker 1: trip plan there, I mean how I mean, when is
Speaker 1: it going to be where you feel comfortable going back there?
Speaker 1: I mean I would say maybe if we had some
Speaker 1: sort of vaccine or a solid treatment, But until that happens,
Speaker 1: it's really going to be dicey. But right anyway, all right, Megan,
Speaker 1: it is your time to shine.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Okay, So this first question comes from Jacqueline. She needs
Speaker 4: to scan or fact something from her phone. Hey, Rich,
Speaker 4: I need to sign a piece of paper, scan it
Speaker 4: and then fax it into Kaiser. Is there an efficient
Speaker 4: way to ut iPhone to scan and fax the sign document?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: This is something that I covered in my book, and
Speaker 1: it was in fact one of the inspirations for my
Speaker 1: book because this was something that I think it was
Speaker 1: Lindsay that she was asking me, Hey, can I scan
Speaker 1: something from my iPhone? I was like, yes, of course,
Speaker 1: And I was writing my first book at the time,
Speaker 1: and I I just literally emailed her the chapter I
Speaker 1: wrote on this.
Speaker 2: But here's how you do it.
Speaker 1: So you can do this in a couple of different ways,
Speaker 1: but you can do it from notes. Is probably the easiest.
Speaker 2: So if you open up.
Speaker 1: The notes app on your phone, there's literally, you know,
Speaker 1: the option to create a new note, and then when
Speaker 1: you do that, you'll see a little icon for a camera,
Speaker 1: and so you tap that and then it says scan documents.
Speaker 1: You put your document on a table anything you want,
Speaker 1: it'll automatically find the document, crop it, and scan it.
Speaker 1: And so once you have that scanned, you can then
Speaker 1: tap your document to bring up what's called the markup.
Speaker 1: So there's like a little little share icon. You hit that,
Speaker 1: and then you bring up what's called markup and and
Speaker 1: then there's a plus sign you add signature. I know
Speaker 1: they made it really complicated. It sounds so complicated, and
Speaker 1: when I show people how to do this, it's really easy.
Speaker 1: But they should literally have on iPhone like just create
Speaker 1: like a shortcut like scan and sign document.
Speaker 2: Right, doesn't that make much more sense?
Speaker 3: Just do like a camera app?
Speaker 1: But like, oh, thank you Siri. One thing about working
Speaker 1: from home is that I have. One thing about working
Speaker 1: from home is I have now everything. I sometimes when
Speaker 1: I say Siri or Apple or something like, one of
Speaker 1: these things like lights up, like whether it's my phone
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: But anyway, but that's how you do it.
Speaker 4: And now, oh, I just like heard myself.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Really do you still hear yourself?
Speaker 2: It could be just a no, now I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: So, uh, that's how you do it, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's an easy thing. But it's also it's one of
Speaker 1: those things like you know your phone can do, but
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's like you just have to figure
Speaker 1: out how to do it, and it's not easy to find,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but once you get it, then you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Once you get it, you get it. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about Instagram they have. By the way, I'm watching
Speaker 1: our reporters on Live TV do their live shots from
Speaker 1: home and it is so fantastic to watch because, especially
Speaker 1: the ones with little kids around, you just don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We I just watched reports she's
Speaker 1: literally pushing her kid out of the picture because this
Speaker 1: is what happens when I go live my kids. They
Speaker 1: start creeping up towards me, and it's like it really
Speaker 1: makes you nervous because you're on live TV.
Speaker 2: What are they gonna say?
Speaker 3: Right right right?
Speaker 4: I think your son was saying something about I thought
Speaker 4: he was talking about like his YouTube.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was trying to.
Speaker 2: Promote his YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, hey, I'm Parker Place on YouTube. By
Speaker 1: the way, he doesn't even have a YouTube channel, but
Speaker 1: he just thinks it's funny that, like he thinks he
Speaker 1: has a YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: It's really weird.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, dude, you don't have a YouTube channel
Speaker 1: for real, Like why you're promoting this.
Speaker 4: From from my perspective, I thought it was great. I
Speaker 4: was like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Television's and
Speaker 4: then like that's why they like had they had you
Speaker 4: on and they weren't like going back to news because
Speaker 4: they just wanted to like show your kids because it
Speaker 4: was so cute.
Speaker 1: I know, it is.
Speaker 2: It is really funny. I mean, I know people love that.
Speaker 1: But as a parent, you are you are so petrified
Speaker 1: of anything they're going to say or do you know,
Speaker 1: just be terrible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm sure, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I feel like my dad is so mean, he's the worst.
Speaker 1: All he does is yell at me, which is true,
Speaker 1: by the way.
Speaker 4: All right, but you didn't you you were like welcoming
Speaker 4: them into the shot. It wasn't you didn't like, you know,
Speaker 4: knock them down or anything.
Speaker 1: Instagram has a new feature that I believe has arrived
Speaker 1: just in time. It's a media sharing feature that lets
Speaker 1: you view Instagram posts with your friends over video chat.
Speaker 1: And what do people do on Instagram ninety nine percent
Speaker 1: of the time anyway? Right, you have someone in the
Speaker 1: office or you're at home, You're like, hey, come over here,
Speaker 1: look at this post. Can you believe they posted this?
Speaker 1: You've done that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, So now you can do this over video chat,
Speaker 1: which is really cool. And to do it, you go
Speaker 1: into your chats and you go into an existing thread
Speaker 1: or you can start a new one, and you look
Speaker 1: for the video chat icon, which, by the way.
Speaker 2: I do not have on my Instagram.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'm running like a weird
Speaker 1: version of Instagram or if something's wrong with my Instagram,
Speaker 1: but I cannot find this feature for the life of me.
Speaker 1: I was looking for a way to video chat. They
Speaker 1: used to have a group video chat feature on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I can't find that. So have you ever used Instagram
Speaker 1: to video chat?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: No, I did when it first came out, like that
Speaker 2: feature for I.
Speaker 3: Want to test it now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, I see. Okay, so I see the camera. Let
Speaker 3: me try to chat my sister and see if it works.
Speaker 1: But there's no like I it will not video chat online.
Speaker 1: I see camera, but I don't see anything about chatting.
Speaker 1: Did you get it to work here? Wait?
Speaker 3: Let me try to chat you?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you can try chat. Yeah, go ahead, try
Speaker 1: it okay, because I don't have the feature at all.
Speaker 3: It just doesn't can't join your video chat.
Speaker 2: See, I'm telling you, it's weird. I think.
Speaker 4: I think because your page is like a business page.
Speaker 1: You know what, That's exactly what it is. That's You're
Speaker 1: exactly right, because I have I have my page as
Speaker 1: a business page. That's exactly what it is. And I
Speaker 1: don't even know what the advantage is of having a
Speaker 1: business page. I just think it's Oh, yes, I do
Speaker 1: know what the advantage is. I can have a button
Speaker 1: on my on my profile that says email me, so
Speaker 1: otherwise you can't have that, and I really don't need
Speaker 1: that because I do have a link. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you noticed, but I got rich on tech tv
Speaker 1: to work again with my links now, so it actually
Speaker 1: is really easy for It's not as easy as it
Speaker 1: was before when I had the website, but it's easy
Speaker 1: to find the links to what I talk about on TV.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm doing anyway. But that you just
Speaker 1: solved it. That's the thing I can video chat because
Speaker 1: it's a business account.
Speaker 4: Well, okay, you're gonna have to make a fin stock producer.
Speaker 1: Megan solves it again slowly.
Speaker 2: But Shirley taking my job boy.
Speaker 3: Nope. Okay.
Speaker 4: This next question comes from Sherry. The subject is three
Speaker 4: way FaceTime call. My sister and I want to make
Speaker 4: a three way FaceTime call with my mom as she
Speaker 4: lives alone. We both have our husbands living with us.
Speaker 3: What is something that is free and easy to do?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you can do a group FaceTime call through FaceTime.
Speaker 1: And do you remember when FaceTime So this is a
Speaker 1: relatively new feature. When group FaceTime came out, you can
Speaker 1: add up to thirty two people to your call. But
Speaker 1: remember they had like that major bug that lets you
Speaker 1: kind of spy on people. So that was bad. They
Speaker 1: took us down for a while, and now it's back up.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I feel like people are forgetting
Speaker 1: the fact that you can actually make group FaceTime calls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never use this feature, but nobody remember when
Speaker 3: that happened.
Speaker 4: I think it's because of that. I think people were
Speaker 4: just like I guess that went away. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 4: remember them like re announcing it right, and like, well.
Speaker 2: They didn't because they're just like they kind of like
Speaker 2: shied away.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like we messed that up.
Speaker 2: But the way to do it it wasn't.
Speaker 3: You could like hear people.
Speaker 4: You could FaceTime someone and you could hear them and
Speaker 4: they didn't even accept the call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is so.
Speaker 3: Wild, so creepy, so wild.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what you want to do is go into
Speaker 1: a if you want to do it, the easiest way
Speaker 1: to do it is already from a group conversation. So
Speaker 1: if you already have a group conversation with someone going,
Speaker 1: all you have to do is tap kind of again,
Speaker 1: this is an example of how Apple is so weird
Speaker 1: about like hiding things that are very useful. But you
Speaker 1: would never think to go into a group call and
Speaker 1: then tap the little icon at the top with the
Speaker 1: people and then there's a FaceTime icon that's revealed, Like
Speaker 1: why isn't that just always there to like let you know, oh,
Speaker 1: you can FaceTime with these people, And so it's there, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so you tap FaceTime and it will be there
Speaker 1: and you're all good, and then it will bring up
Speaker 1: you know, start calling all the people and doing it
Speaker 1: that way.
Speaker 2: That's I think the easiest way.
Speaker 1: If you already have one of these group calls going
Speaker 1: or a group message going, you can also do it
Speaker 1: from the FaceTime app as well. So if you just
Speaker 1: go into the FaceTime app and you just start typing
Speaker 1: in a bunch of names, just keep adding names with
Speaker 1: the plus sign and then you tap video and you
Speaker 1: can do it that way. Those are the two easiest
Speaker 1: ways to do it. And it's cool, I mean, it works.
Speaker 1: It's funny because you know, we've talked about Zoom. Everybody
Speaker 1: is using Zoom right now. It's been the way. But yes,
Speaker 1: you can use FaceTime and you can also use Google Duo.
Speaker 1: FaceTime is great, but it's only going to work on
Speaker 1: Apple devices, so you have to keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: So if you have a big family and you've got
Speaker 1: a bunch of people using different things, you can't use FaceTime.
Speaker 1: So again, try Google Duo and that'll work just as well,
Speaker 1: and you can do group calls. I believe up to
Speaker 1: eight people on Google Duo versus thirty two on FaceTime
Speaker 1: versus like a thousand on Zoom or something insane. Have
Speaker 1: you seen a Zoom with like a lot of people
Speaker 1: on there, because my kids are are meeting up with
Speaker 1: their entire class and so it's like forty five to
Speaker 1: like fifty. Well maybe not that, Oh no, it was
Speaker 1: like the whole pre k, so it was like fifty
Speaker 1: kids in one thing.
Speaker 3: That's so cute.
Speaker 4: I've only seen like, because I'm not on Zoom, I'm
Speaker 4: like the only person that's not on Zoom. You skype
Speaker 4: to like you know, talk to you and to like
Speaker 4: interview people. But I've seen just like really funny awkward
Speaker 4: videos yes Twitter, of people not realizing that they're yes,
Speaker 4: their camera is on.
Speaker 2: I know. That's a big problem. It really is.
Speaker 1: Because the way Zoom is set up, it's very like
Speaker 1: strange because you kind of you kind of open up
Speaker 1: your room and then people come into it.
Speaker 2: So it's a weird.
Speaker 1: Like with most video calling, you call it rings, they
Speaker 1: pick up right with the way something works. You open
Speaker 1: up a room and you're sitting there waiting in the room,
Speaker 1: and then the person comes into your room. So you
Speaker 1: can be sitting there with like your mic on and
Speaker 1: your camera on just kind of like waiting then you
Speaker 1: kind of forget. But it's just it's it's an odd
Speaker 1: way of doing it, and I think that's it's also
Speaker 1: good for you know, the uses, but it's still just
Speaker 1: odd and I think that's why people are being caught
Speaker 1: off guard with it. But personally, I'm good with just one.
Speaker 1: I only need one person because like that's how many
Speaker 1: friends I have, so it's really easy for me to
Speaker 1: just I've never needed the same. I actually am doing
Speaker 1: a happy hour tonight with my friends, so I think.
Speaker 3: You do have friends.
Speaker 1: I do. I have a couple, but I actually it's
Speaker 1: funny because in all seriousness, I don't get to see
Speaker 1: my friends during the week because I go to bed
Speaker 1: so early. And now I'm actually thinking that if this
Speaker 1: is successful, this little happy hour thing, I would probably
Speaker 1: do it again because it makes it, you see, to.
Speaker 2: Kind of hang out with your friends.
Speaker 1: And I would never I never ever thought of doing
Speaker 1: something like that, Like I don't video chat people like ever,
Speaker 1: but now I'm kind of like, I like it. You
Speaker 1: just sit there and you've got your phone in front
Speaker 1: of you, and you know, you can have a little
Speaker 1: happy hour with your friends and just sit and catch up.
Speaker 1: And it's like different than texting or calling, So guys
Speaker 1: don't call each other, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is sad, but I feel
Speaker 4: like I'm talking to some of my friends.
Speaker 3: More than I did before.
Speaker 2: Me too, Me too.
Speaker 4: Like wait, now we're like I have a friend that
Speaker 4: lives in New York and we are like facetiming every
Speaker 4: day and I'm like, we did not talk this much
Speaker 4: when you lived in LA But okay, I agree.
Speaker 1: It's so it's so interesting, and I think that again,
Speaker 1: I think we are learning a couple of things from
Speaker 1: this whole situation. I think we really are all right.
Speaker 1: You know app to tell you about Google Podcasts. App
Speaker 1: is now available on iOS And you might be thinking,
Speaker 1: why the heck do I need a podcasting app on
Speaker 1: iOS when I have when I have Apple Podcasts built
Speaker 1: into my phone, and there are some advantages to the
Speaker 1: Google podcast I don't think that this is meant for
Speaker 1: a lot of people right now, because I do think
Speaker 1: that the Apple version is better, and it of course
Speaker 1: is integrated with Siri and your phone and your computer.
Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you about the alternative, which is
Speaker 1: now Google podcasts. It's a very simple app and there's.
Speaker 2: Not much going on.
Speaker 1: It's a way to subscribe to podcasts, a way to
Speaker 1: play them or to queue them up. You can't even
Speaker 1: make playlists. There's really not much you can do except
Speaker 1: see the podcast you have and listen to them. But
Speaker 1: I will tell you what I think. Megan is the
Speaker 1: killer feature on this podcast app, and I think it
Speaker 1: might set it apart from all other podcast apps.
Speaker 2: Let me give you a hint.
Speaker 1: Google knows everything that you do online, right, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it has a play Yes, so it has a pretty
Speaker 1: good idea of your interests. Now, imagine that you're interested
Speaker 1: in you know, when you were looking when you're looking
Speaker 1: at your trip to Italy before everything went south, you
Speaker 1: were googling Italy and you're googling things to do in
Speaker 1: Italy and travel and restaurants. Now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you open up the Google Podcasts app and it surfaces
Speaker 1: a podcast about traveling to Italy.
Speaker 2: I love that, right, And I think I.
Speaker 1: Think, just like YouTube has been able to surface videos
Speaker 1: that it knows you're going to be interested in, because
Speaker 1: it knows everything about you, I think that this is
Speaker 1: going to be the magic of Google Podcasts. Now, Google
Speaker 1: Podcasts is already searching inside every podcast for what you're saying,
Speaker 1: so it kind of knows what your podcast is about,
Speaker 1: even if you don't put good descriptions in your show notes.
Speaker 1: So I think that is the brilliant move by Google
Speaker 1: to make podcasts like, I mean, think about it. So
Speaker 1: anyone could do a podcast and now it could be
Speaker 1: relevant and discovered by a lot of people, even if
Speaker 1: they're not searching for it, right.
Speaker 3: Right, that's really cool. So does this mean that like.
Speaker 4: When you search a podcas castor you search like a topic,
Speaker 4: Google pop podcast come come up first before like Apple
Speaker 4: podcasts on.
Speaker 1: The INTERNETOD that's been going on on Google for a
Speaker 1: while now. And that's just that's just Google kind of
Speaker 1: being you know, they're Yeah, it's that, it doesn't it
Speaker 1: doesn't always come up for me as much as I'd
Speaker 1: like it to. But I think that right now that
Speaker 1: was never I don't know if people just don't think
Speaker 1: of Google for podcasts right now, but maybe they will
Speaker 1: in the future. Yeah, yeah, you heard the sound.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, I like kind of heard it.
Speaker 4: I didn't hear the full Okay, Well, anyways, this next
Speaker 4: question comes from John Hey Rich. I would imagine you're
Speaker 4: a pretty busy guy these days, but we have a
Speaker 4: virus problem. I'm hoping you can help us. Help us
Speaker 4: with this. We are a bunch of elderly guys. We
Speaker 4: don't feel or act elderly, but we are labeled so
Speaker 4: by by stay at home order who have been playing
Speaker 4: a weekly poker game for over forty years now. Small
Speaker 4: steaks twenty dollars twenty points buy in dealer calls the game.
Speaker 4: The virus has caused the cancelation of this event. We
Speaker 4: would like to find a platform that we can easily meet,
Speaker 4: chat and play our stupid games. Check out some checked
Speaker 4: out some of the poker sites, but really nothing that
Speaker 4: meets our needs. We would be willing to make a
Speaker 4: one time purchase. Any suggestions, So.
Speaker 3: It would be like for a private.
Speaker 1: Like eye right. Yeah, that's interesting. I mean there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like public sites where you can play, like
Speaker 1: all the you know, betting sites and stuff. But I
Speaker 1: had to do some research on this one because I
Speaker 1: play poker, and I love poker, but I don't really
Speaker 1: play online ever. And I know, you know, if you
Speaker 1: want to play with random people, there's a million places
Speaker 1: to do that. But after doing some research, I found
Speaker 1: a website named blockchain dot Poker, And this is an
Speaker 1: odd website. It's really strange, like you don't download anything,
Speaker 1: you just like you can immediate. It looks like you
Speaker 1: can meet you like, sit down and play, which is
Speaker 1: kind of weird. But I looked a little further and
Speaker 1: it seems like you can set up your own private room.
Speaker 1: So if you go to kind of like the main page,
Speaker 1: there was a way I saw there was a way
Speaker 1: to go and just kind of set up your own
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you go to the lobby.
Speaker 2: So you go to the lobby.
Speaker 1: It says create table, and you can create your own
Speaker 1: table name and give it a password, and then share
Speaker 1: that link with your friends, and you can do up
Speaker 1: to nine seats. So that may not work for them,
Speaker 1: because didn't he say as twenty people. How many people
Speaker 1: is he doing this with. Let's see, let's let's see.
Speaker 1: I don't think he says, oh, it just says A
Speaker 1: says a bunch of elderly guys. Okay, so it's just
Speaker 1: a bunch of elderly guys anyway.
Speaker 2: So that's the first thing.
Speaker 1: So, but the weird thing is it's got this weird
Speaker 1: blockchain undertone, which I don't really understand.
Speaker 2: You can't really use real like it's not even like dollars.
Speaker 1: It's like you have to use like blockchain money, which
Speaker 1: is so weird, like bitcoin anyway, So that one works,
Speaker 1: and then the other one is PokerStars dot bet online.
Speaker 1: It says that there's a couple of there is a
Speaker 1: way to create your own private room, but I did
Speaker 1: not download it to try that out. So those are
Speaker 1: the two suggestions I would look into. But again, this
Speaker 1: is one of those things where now that I think
Speaker 1: about this, because I get together with my friends every
Speaker 1: once in a while to play poker in person, and
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, I'm like, oh, it'd
Speaker 1: be cool if we could play online together.
Speaker 2: But again, it's like a lot of these things.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm feeling just nostalgic for like
Speaker 1: the fact that I can't go out and see my friends,
Speaker 1: or if I really think that this is cool even
Speaker 1: outside of a crazy virus taking down everyone, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I don't know, right, And I think also
Speaker 4: people are just kind of like board stuck at home
Speaker 4: and they're like, you know what, it's time for some poker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, all right, YouTube this speaking of CV, I
Speaker 1: call it CV by the way, coronavirus CV. So speaking
Speaker 1: of CV, YouTube is lowering its quality across the world
Speaker 1: to kind of save the Internet in the light of.
Speaker 2: CV.
Speaker 1: And so they're gonna be streaming in standard definition by default.
Speaker 1: And what standard definition? Standard definition is what you used
Speaker 1: to have when you had DVDs, which I know back
Speaker 1: in the day sounded really great, but now if you
Speaker 1: look at a DVD, you cannot believe how bad it
Speaker 1: looks compared to today's HD, and especially four K. And this
Speaker 1: is what YouTube's going to do to kind of save
Speaker 1: bandwidth because if you imagine everybody is using the Internet
Speaker 1: right now, and you can even tell on our stream
Speaker 1: here because Megan and I are in separate places, that
Speaker 1: the quality is just not as good as it typically
Speaker 1: is because so many people are on these networks are
Speaker 1: really stressed right now, and over in Europe they appeal
Speaker 1: to Netflix, Amazon, Disney Plus and Apple to say, hey,
Speaker 1: would you mind just like lowering your quality for a
Speaker 1: bit so we can get through this, And I guess
Speaker 1: they've all said yes, except YouTube's you know what, We're
Speaker 1: just gonna do it for the whole world, and you
Speaker 1: can change. You can change your quality to higher quality
Speaker 1: by going into your settings on YouTube, but by default,
Speaker 1: when you start playing a video, it's going to play
Speaker 1: in that standard definition, which you may not notice. It
Speaker 1: depends on the screen. If you're looking on a smaller
Speaker 1: screen or your phone, you probably won't notice as much.
Speaker 1: But if you're looking on a bigger screen, especially your TV,
Speaker 1: you'll probably notice.
Speaker 2: So there you have it.
Speaker 3: Cool. This next question comes from Brian Hi.
Speaker 4: I manage the social media for a nonprofit that engages
Speaker 4: primarily with.
Speaker 3: High school kids.
Speaker 4: Could you suggest an app, website, or program that I
Speaker 4: could use to hold an interview, preferably live that can
Speaker 4: stream on both Instagram and Facebook. If it was interactive,
Speaker 4: that would be a bonus.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know what we used last week for
Speaker 1: the podcast's That's what I'm gonna recommend here. There's a
Speaker 1: program called ECAM Live. E c AMM Live, so ECAM Live,
Speaker 1: So he wants to do live onto Facebook and Instagram
Speaker 1: at the same time. That is not, as far as
Speaker 1: I know, you cannot do that. I don't think that
Speaker 1: there is what's called an API for Instagram to go live,
Speaker 1: which means you can only use the Instagram app to
Speaker 1: go live. You cannot use a third party app to
Speaker 1: stream into Instagram. Now you can for YouTube for Facebook,
Speaker 1: and what's the other streaming Twitter, periscope, you can use
Speaker 1: it for that. And this app, ecam Live, will allow
Speaker 1: you to do all those at the same uh, not
Speaker 1: necessarily at the same time.
Speaker 2: Actually, Facebook has a rule.
Speaker 1: Where you cannot be streaming to Facebook if you're streaming
Speaker 1: to other places simultaneously. I don't know if that rule
Speaker 1: is still in effect, but they did, They used to
Speaker 1: have that rule, And I don't know if they.
Speaker 3: Think it's funny because they own Instagram.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, but you know what, instance has been trying
Speaker 1: to stay as organic as possible, right, and if you
Speaker 1: have a bunch of people, everything they do on Instagram
Speaker 1: is not logical, Like you can't have links, you can't
Speaker 1: have this, you can't have videos longer than sixty seconds
Speaker 1: on your feed.
Speaker 2: So they do a lot of these things to try.
Speaker 1: To keep it seeming like it's small and kind of intimate, right,
Speaker 1: And they don't want it overtaken by professional accounts, and
Speaker 1: by professional you know, you have to work within their guidelines,
Speaker 1: and they do that to make it sort of special
Speaker 1: because if you're broadcasting think about it. If you're broadcasting
Speaker 1: the same video to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter all
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's pretty generic. And so by
Speaker 1: making it that you have to do this, especially just
Speaker 1: for Instagram, it makes it a bit more special than
Speaker 1: the other guys. That makes sense on it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Amazon, because I had this experience this
Speaker 1: morning and Amazon, I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: And I my brother first texted me like, what's the deal.
Speaker 1: Why can't I get this thing until look at this
Speaker 1: delivery date of like April thirtieth, And I was like what.
Speaker 1: And then my boss Jason Ball, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: check out his podcast called The News Director's Office. I
Speaker 1: was on that today, so that new episode is dropping,
Speaker 1: and he said the same thing.
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, have you seen this? I can't even
Speaker 2: get this.
Speaker 1: He asked me about some gadget for his computer, a
Speaker 1: little Ethernet cable.
Speaker 2: And he said, what's up with this?
Speaker 1: It's not saying delivery until like April twenty First, I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Amazon is like taking four weeks to deliver things,
Speaker 1: not everything. But they announced that they were some of
Speaker 1: the non essentials were going to be delayed by about
Speaker 1: a month, and I didn't really believe it because I
Speaker 1: placed a bunch of orders on Amazon and I've gotten them.
Speaker 1: Everything took a little bit longer, but it wasn't a month.
Speaker 1: And now today, this morning, I needed a couple of
Speaker 1: items off off of face, Facebook, off of Amazon, and
Speaker 1: I could not believe that the delivery date for these
Speaker 1: standard items that are nothing special. They're just little gadgets,
Speaker 1: like a little accessories. We're saying like April thirtieth. And
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not going to help me. I
Speaker 1: need this stuff today. And yeah, I ended up placing
Speaker 1: my order with best Buy and doing order pickup, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, was available in about as soon as
Speaker 1: I placed the order. It was available probably less than
Speaker 1: an hour later.
Speaker 3: And Different did that the other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to have you tell your story in
Speaker 1: a second. But the difference is Megan, and you know this,
Speaker 1: you have to go pick it up. Yeah, so what
Speaker 1: did you do?
Speaker 2: Tell me about your experience.
Speaker 4: Well, as you know, we've had a lot of our internet.
Speaker 4: We have good internet, but the Wi Fi signal is
Speaker 4: not that strong in my house. So I got Google
Speaker 4: Wi Fi and I ordered it on best Buy online
Speaker 4: and then there is an option to like just go
Speaker 4: and pick it up curbside in front of the Best Buy,
Speaker 4: and it was so easy. I just ordered it and
Speaker 4: then forty minutes later I drove over and they literally
Speaker 4: walked out the Google Wi Fi to my car. So
Speaker 4: that was great because then I didn't have to wait
Speaker 4: like a week or longer to get it.
Speaker 2: Isn't that great?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I've ordered things from best Buy in the past
Speaker 1: because you can so you can order something. They really
Speaker 1: are like all the instore pickups are really easy, and
Speaker 1: I think it's it is one advantage that they do
Speaker 1: have over.
Speaker 2: Something like Amazon.
Speaker 1: Amazon is is great because you can get things in
Speaker 1: two hours with Amazon Prime now. But we have noticed
Speaker 1: that they have failed during this crisis. And I'm not
Speaker 1: knocking them. This is something we've never seen. It's unprecedented.
Speaker 1: But the reality is we have grown to love Amazon,
Speaker 1: We've grown to love the speed, but now we realize
Speaker 1: that in bad times we will not be able to
Speaker 1: rely on them. And that is the reality of this
Speaker 1: virus is that they broke down within a day. I
Speaker 1: would say of things happening like where you couldn't get
Speaker 1: toilet paper and you couldn't get hand sanitizer and you
Speaker 1: still can't and it's been two weeks at least, and
Speaker 1: so the reality is their system works. And I've said
Speaker 1: this before, Megan. When the going is good, things are easy.
Speaker 1: It's when the going is not so good that things
Speaker 1: are hard, and that's when you realize just how tough
Speaker 1: things can be. Everything's easy when it's easy, but when
Speaker 1: it's not easy, that's when it gets hard. And people
Speaker 1: sometimes forget that things can change, like Amazon go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's interesting too because on Amazon, like it
Speaker 4: always tells me that toilet paper is available, and then
Speaker 4: I'll like go and then it's like Amazon Fresh and
Speaker 4: it'll say like no delivery dates available for the next
Speaker 4: like two weeks. And it's like, okay, well, why are
Speaker 4: you telling me that you do have toilet paper? You
Speaker 4: just can't bring it.
Speaker 3: Like it's just I don't know it it.
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously now they're gonna like work out the
Speaker 4: kinks and try to figure out how to even like
Speaker 4: make all these deliveries. But yeah, like you said, like
Speaker 4: I think right now, like it's not easy, and you know,
Speaker 4: we'll see. I mean, it's nice that a company like
Speaker 4: Best Buys like working with it and curb side pick
Speaker 4: up is a great easy way to get what you need,
Speaker 4: right And.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I mean, I've ordered from Best
Speaker 1: Buy before in normal times, and it's interesting because it's
Speaker 1: you can order at work and then on your drive
Speaker 1: home from work, if you pass one of these stores,
Speaker 1: which chances are you do or it's close, you can
Speaker 1: have your item. And it's so funny because we've I
Speaker 1: always joke about this with my wife. I'm like, we
Speaker 1: think it's so cool that Amazon can deliver something to
Speaker 1: us in like two hours or less, but the reality
Speaker 1: is you could go like to CVS in five minutes
Speaker 1: and pick up that same thing and you kind of forget.
Speaker 1: And I think we've also become accustomed to the slightly
Speaker 1: better pricing on Amazon as well. But anyway, it all
Speaker 1: fell apart in this situation. Let me give you a
Speaker 1: website that we've a couple of things I did post.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy, how Megan, I've posted about toilet paper
Speaker 1: now at least three times on my Instagram. I never
Speaker 1: thought that would be the case, but it's some of
Speaker 1: the most popular posts on my Instagram. And I posted
Speaker 1: a box of toilet paper that I had delivered the
Speaker 1: other day, and I couldn't believe how many people said,
Speaker 1: how'd you get that? How'd you get that? And I
Speaker 1: will tell you I did a story on it. Everything
Speaker 1: you see me do online is basically some sort of
Speaker 1: research for something I've done on ktla, right, or something
Speaker 1: I've featured, Like, there's not a lot that I don't
Speaker 1: share because or feature. I'm trying to tell you and
Speaker 1: teach you things, because I'm trying things out to see
Speaker 1: if they really work. And one of these websites we
Speaker 1: featured on ktla is called now in stock dot net.
Speaker 1: And what you do is you leave it open on
Speaker 1: your web browser on a certain product page like toilet
Speaker 1: paper or hand sanitizer or household cleaning products, and it
Speaker 1: will send you an alert like it will make an
Speaker 1: audible tone on your web browser when those things are
Speaker 1: online and in stock, and then you have to run
Speaker 1: over to the website, click the link and see if
Speaker 1: it's actually available. It's not always available, but it worked
Speaker 1: for me for hand sanitizer, and it worked for me
Speaker 1: for toilet paper. And that's how I got the giant
Speaker 1: box of toilet paper. And then there's a new website
Speaker 1: that someone sent me called the Supplyfinder dot com and
Speaker 1: it checks inventory at Amazon, Target and Walmart. And they've
Speaker 1: got hand soap, pan sanitizer, paper towels, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: are all in stock right this moment, toilet paper which
Speaker 1: is all out of stock, tissues which are in stock,
Speaker 1: and multi surface wipes, and right now it says Clorox
Speaker 1: disinfecting wipes are in stock at Walmart and let me
Speaker 1: click the link and tell you if that's actually true.
Speaker 1: And it is out of stock. So again it doesn't
Speaker 1: always work perfectly. But oh look at this.
Speaker 3: Wait, what's in stock on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Life Ale disinfecting wipes are in stock right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to buy them.
Speaker 3: So I'm going I'm oh wow, delivery.
Speaker 2: Oh one left. I'm not going to get it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't it's too late, but you can try it.
Speaker 1: Do you need wipes because they are there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we like need everything.
Speaker 2: You guys are out, We're.
Speaker 3: Like running low. Like it's not good.
Speaker 1: It's really crazy. Well, I do have TP, so I
Speaker 1: can't tell you if you if you guys are getting desperate,
Speaker 1: I do have I do have a large box. I
Speaker 1: did get delivered which you.
Speaker 2: Know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy that this is what people are talking
Speaker 1: about because it's a reality.
Speaker 2: It's really wild.
Speaker 3: No, it's just it's getting so real, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean it's been getting real for the last month
Speaker 4: or so, but now it's real.
Speaker 3: Now it's real. Okay.
Speaker 4: So this next question comes from they didn't leave a name.
Speaker 3: They just left human chess, so.
Speaker 1: What that means?
Speaker 4: So anyways, Hi, or maybe his name's just human, I
Speaker 4: don't know, Hi, Rich. Is there a free slash easy
Speaker 4: way to move several playlists from Amazon Music to Apple Music.
Speaker 3: I've been using Amazon Music for a while now, and
Speaker 3: I've created several playlists.
Speaker 4: I own five Amazon Echo devices, and now that I
Speaker 4: can use Apple Music on them, I want to switch
Speaker 4: back to Apple Music. However, not knowing how to move
Speaker 4: my playlist is the only thing keeping me from switching back.
Speaker 4: Any help would be appreciated.
Speaker 1: Mmmm, this is a good No.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's not a thing.
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I don't create playlists anymore, Like
Speaker 1: I have not created a playlist in probably a decade
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: Like, I just use all cloud services, you know, like Spot.
Speaker 1: I guess that's what he's saying, though, right, he's is
Speaker 1: he saying that he made his own playlists that I
Speaker 1: guess he did.
Speaker 4: Huh, he's saying that these are yeah, he said, I've
Speaker 4: created Okay, so I also have cannot create a playlist
Speaker 4: to save my life, Like I forget about them.
Speaker 3: I'll start and it's yeah, songs and then I forget.
Speaker 2: I agree, it's just kind of like one of those things.
Speaker 3: But yeah, these are the playlists that he's created.
Speaker 1: So he's created them, all right, Well, that's that's fair enough.
Speaker 1: And maybe you you know, there are some people that
Speaker 1: really do want to create their own stuff and curate
Speaker 1: their own stuff, and that's fine, so that's good for you.
Speaker 1: But the website that I would recommend is free your
Speaker 1: Music dot com. And I have not tried this website,
Speaker 1: but it seems to be the biggest one, and you
Speaker 1: have to pay a little bit. If you want to
Speaker 1: get this for free, you only get one playlist and
Speaker 1: a hundred songs, which is going to be just to
Speaker 1: try it out. That's mainly just to test it out.
Speaker 1: But if you want to do this, you know, with
Speaker 1: all your playlists, you're gonna have to pay ten dollars
Speaker 1: and that's how much it is, which I think is fine.
Speaker 1: That's like one month of streaming service, and you have
Speaker 1: to think about it.
Speaker 2: Someone did come.
Speaker 1: Over here and you know, they had to figure out
Speaker 1: how to make this work, and they had to code
Speaker 1: this app and figure it all out. But they do
Speaker 1: it for everything. And you can go from Apple Music
Speaker 1: to Spotify. You can go from YouTube Music to Pandora.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go any way you want any
Speaker 1: two music services. Just pick your poison and you can
Speaker 1: convert your tracks. So that's the website is free music
Speaker 1: dot Com. It looks like they have apps for just
Speaker 1: about every platform and nine ninety nine for the year,
Speaker 1: I mean for the lifetime. I think that's pretty worth it.
Speaker 1: If I had play now, I want playlists in different
Speaker 1: services so I can use this. Yeah, okay, speaking.
Speaker 2: Of free, did I just mention free?
Speaker 1: I don't know if I did, but I want to
Speaker 1: mention this. So a couple things for free. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of free offers. This is gonna be our story
Speaker 1: on KTLA on Friday. But depending on when you listen
Speaker 1: to this, that doesn't really matter because time is you know.
Speaker 2: Is relative.
Speaker 1: But we're going to talk about a bunch of free services,
Speaker 1: and this one's really cool, Sling Sling TV. They are
Speaker 1: really killing it. I think it's really interesting to see
Speaker 1: some of the companies that have just stepped up in
Speaker 1: this coronavirus crisis time and said, you know what, we're
Speaker 1: really going to help people out.
Speaker 2: And Sling is one of them.
Speaker 1: They know that people are sitting inside cooped up, they
Speaker 1: need stuff to watch, and so they have unlocked their
Speaker 1: Sling Blue service, which has forty five live channels of
Speaker 1: content to watch, including CNN, Fox News, Headline News, MSNBC, Bloomberg, Cheddar,
Speaker 1: My Favorite, Newsy and Local Now. So you can watch
Speaker 1: all these news stations for free. And that is through
Speaker 1: Sling dot Com. You don't even need a credit card
Speaker 1: to sign up. You do have to log in, you know,
Speaker 1: create a little log in, but you get fourteen days
Speaker 1: totally free on that, which is kind of cool, right yeah.
Speaker 1: And then if you have T Mobile, they are giving
Speaker 1: you two months of T Mobile Premium or sorry, YouTube Premium.
Speaker 1: And I'm a subscriber to YouTube Premium.
Speaker 2: I love it. I have not seen it an ad on.
Speaker 1: YouTube in probably four years ever since they started the premium.
Speaker 1: I just love it so much because I never I
Speaker 1: don't think about ads on YouTube, and with YouTube Premium,
Speaker 1: you can watch ad free, you can download videos to
Speaker 1: your phone, you can get access to YouTube music, which
Speaker 1: is you know it basically like Spotify without ads. And
Speaker 1: you can get two free months by going into the
Speaker 1: T mobile Tuesday's app or the website t Mobile Tuesdays
Speaker 1: dot com. And you just have to save the offer
Speaker 1: and redeem it by May first. So let's say you
Speaker 1: don't need it right now, you want to save this
Speaker 1: for when you run out of something to watch on Hulu.
Speaker 1: You can redeem it then It's usually twelve dollars a month.
Speaker 1: This is one of those deals that you do need
Speaker 1: to put your credit card down. You are actually signing
Speaker 1: up for YouTube Premium, but you just have to remember
Speaker 1: to cancel it. So just set a reminder on your
Speaker 1: calendar to cancel it before it's time up. And let's
Speaker 1: see what was the other thing I by the way,
Speaker 1: I know I talked about my house. I tweeted this
Speaker 1: thing where I went through and I was just thinking
Speaker 1: about all the subscriptions I have because right now is
Speaker 1: when they really come in handy and I actually in
Speaker 1: the last week subscribe to both HBO Now and Hulu, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I know we did you have Hulu.
Speaker 1: I got to say, I am very impressed with Hulu,
Speaker 1: Like how much stuff there is on there.
Speaker 2: It's all garbage, but it's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: I use Hulu more than Netflix for sure, because it
Speaker 4: has all the reality TV.
Speaker 2: That I write. It's all the trash.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like if you wanted to just waste
Speaker 1: your time in life and watch like what are those
Speaker 1: shows like if you Love Love is Blind on Netflix?
Speaker 1: There's like a thousand of those types of shows on Hulu.
Speaker 1: It's just all the stuff that's just on all day long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Real Housewives, right is there? Yeah? All Bravo and
Speaker 3: E is on Hulu.
Speaker 1: And I joke, but it's it's really like, I gotta say,
Speaker 1: the content. If I watch that kind of stuff, it's
Speaker 1: like a dream. Like Lindsay was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: where was this in my life? And it's which show
Speaker 1: everything we were just going through and like I was impressed,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's all the stuff from Fox, it's all
Speaker 1: the stuff from Disney, it's all the stuff from ABC,
Speaker 1: it's all the stuff from Bravo, it's all the stuff
Speaker 1: from e. I mean they have a wide like Shark
Speaker 1: Tank is on there. I mean they have a lot
