And you know, I'm glad a 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: lot of people out there are safe, you know, and 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: I know people that have been affected. I know, I 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: know personally several people that actually got coronavirus, which is 31 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: also crazy. 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just this wild thing that's happening. My 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: mom is is you know, she's by herself, which is 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: really tricky. You know, It's just it's just a very 36 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: odd thing. So anyway, everything's been fine here. I've been 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: going to the grocery store the most out of any 38 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: person I know, because I'm the designated survivor in my 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: house to like go out and do things. So okay, 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: if anyone's at most risk here, it's me. But so far, 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: so good. I did order some masks and wait for those. 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, if you're tuning in on the Facebook Live, 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. We do appreciate it. This is 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: going to be a little different, you guys know that 45 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I've experimented. It's very it looks like it's easy to 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: go live on Facebook doing all this stuff, But it's 47 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: not because what I'm trying to do is get a 48 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: quality recording of the broadcast for the podcast, but also 49 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: go live, and so it's a lot of little tricky 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: things to do that. And so if you're watching on Facebook, 51 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: thanks for doing that. If you ditch out, that's fine, 52 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: but we do appreciate you joining us. This version of 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: the podcast is going to be all questions. So let 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: me see if we have our sound effects. Megan, let's 55 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: see if they work. Oh nope, that's not it. Do 56 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: you hear that? 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: Yeah? 58 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: I hear it. 59 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: So we got the sound effects. So let's here we go. 60 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: Can they hear the sound effects? 61 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll find out. 62 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay, all right. 63 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: Our first question comes from Nancy and she wrote on 64 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 3: your Facebook page. She asked, have you ever reviewed blue 65 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: Tooth microphones for the iPad? We are doing a lot 66 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: of zooming, but need a microphone for people to hear 67 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: us better. 68 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: That's a good question. 69 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: That is a good question, and it's something that yeah, 70 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: everyone's been doing, is these You know, people are connecting 71 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: their zooms to the big screen because you can just 72 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: go ahead and chrome cast it to your big screen 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: or you can use airplay and reflect it to your 74 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: big screen. I love doing that and I've done that 75 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: several times, and I think it's a really good way 76 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: of doing it. But what she's saying is she's connecting 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: it via a cable, and so the difference is is 78 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: that her iPad is really close to the TV, whereas 79 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: she's not doing airplay. So that's the difference, and that's 80 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: why her setup is a little trickier because I actually 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: had to email her for some clarification on this question. 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: And so what she needs to do, and what I 83 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: think is the best recommendation for her, is to get 84 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: a portable Bluetooth speaker and she can connect that Bluetooth 85 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: speaker to her iPad, put that in front of her. 86 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: Like at my house, of the couch, then we have 87 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: like an automan and then the TV on the wall. 88 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: So if the if the iPad was near the TV screen, 89 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: then I would put the little speaker in front of me. 90 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: And if you look on Amazon, they have a bunch 91 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: of these little Bluetooth speakers. I personally would just go 92 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Amazon Basics and let me just search here right now. Oh, now, 93 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: did you guys hear that? I hope you didn't. Did 94 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: you hear that? 95 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? I did. 96 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I hope you guys don't hear my computer 97 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: sound effects. Now, if I go on Amazon and I 98 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: get an Amazon Bluetooth speaker, it is twenty five dollars 99 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: and that has a microphone built in for hands free calling, 100 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: and that's super easy. So I love that. Twenty five 101 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: dollars will solve all of her problems. Now here's the 102 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: bigger problem that she's going to run into. Oh, free 103 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: delivery on Tuesday. So nevermind. I was gonna say a 104 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: lot of these you know, Amazon, we've talked about this 105 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: where you can't get a lot of stuff, but apparently 106 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: this is one of those things that you can get delivered. 107 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: So that's the solution you can use. If you want 108 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: to go more expensive, you can just get a pair 109 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: of Bluetooth headphones, and I bet you Amazon Basics has 110 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: those two. But the problem with the headphones is that 111 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: your family can't listen in and you want your whole 112 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: family to Yeah, do that. 113 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: I was going to say air pods, but that does 114 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: not work. 115 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: Oh really well because it just to you. Yeah exactly, 116 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: nobody heard except you. But well, okay, good question. Oh 117 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: I guess we just keep doing that because it's more questions. 118 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: Okay, this next question comes from deb Hi Rich. I 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: was wondering if you could tell me if all the 120 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: worry about five G towers and phones are true, will 121 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: they be super bad for our bodies? 122 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 2: And what's this talk about? 123 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: What's this talk about going around that they would want 124 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: to put a chip implanted for protection against the bag? 125 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: Oh wow? This is like some men in black stuff 126 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: whose this is like really yeah. 127 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: Oh wow, any input on these subjects would be appreciated. 128 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so they're asking in your body. Wow, that's what 129 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: I haven't heard. 130 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I also haven't heard a lot about this 131 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: five G, like the five G theory. 132 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: I just okay, I have. So what happens is, here's 133 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: a couple of things are happening. So five G is 134 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: the new advanced wireless, right like there we have four G, 135 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: we had three G, we had two G that they 136 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: didn't really call two G at the time, but now 137 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: we have five G, and so five G is like 138 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: this super fast wireless. The problem is with the super 139 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: fast wireless is that people think that it's connected to 140 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: all these problems with COVID, And I just don't see 141 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: that happening. So uh, And the bigger problem is just like. 142 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: Trying to see the connection. 143 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, the big the bigger problem is that over in 144 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Europe they are burning down these five G towers because 145 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: or they're setting fire to them apparently. And I guess 146 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of it was connected to like celebrities tweeting 147 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: about it, like saying like these towers are evil. There's 148 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: been a bunch of conspiracy theory videos on YouTube and 149 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: on Facebook, and so there's a lot going on. Now. 150 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: I am not an expert in wireless communication, so can 151 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: I say for certain that there's no connection. I feel 152 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: like I actually am concerned sometimes about all the wireless 153 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: frequencies around US. I work in a TV station where 154 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: there's a lot of wireless frequencies, so I'm concerned. I mean, 155 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm not an exp But am I saying there's a 156 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: connection between COVID and five G. I don't think so, 157 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: And nor do I think you should believe that, And 158 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: nor do I think we should stop advancement of RF 159 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: and wireless frequency because of a new technology. I think 160 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: it's just they're packing the radio waves in a different way. 161 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's millions of radio waves all around us 162 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: every day, no matter where you are, And I think 163 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: that's actually the most fascinating thing, the fact that think 164 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: about this. When you're walking through like your street, they're 165 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: like everything is being broadcast. They're like every radio station, 166 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: every TV station, like it's all like in the air. 167 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: Like don't you think that's crazy? 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: That is crazy? 169 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: And I never think about that, And now, like that's 170 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: pretty trippy. 171 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: And also, like most people, I mean, I sleep with 172 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: my phone like, yes, literally a foot away from. 173 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: My head, and like I've heard you're not supposed to 174 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: do that, but you know, now I'm kind of like, 175 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: is there some weird stic Further. 176 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: Dick, I have my phone next to my bed wirelessly charging, 177 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: and so I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm getting like 178 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: a one two punch of like my phone radiation plus 179 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: the wireless charging radiation. And again, we're told that these 180 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: things are safe, and I do believe that they are safe. 181 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: But I also think that as a human you have 182 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: to you know, you have to have a a little 183 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: bit of not skepticism, but you have to be smart. 184 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: And for a while, I didn't charge my phone wirelessly 185 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: next to me because I thought that wired charging was safer. 186 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: And the other thing I didn't like is that my 187 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: Apple Watch has LTE connected to it. And I thought 188 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: that it's a little bit weird because if you think 189 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: about it, it's on your wrist at all times. So 190 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: the LTE connection is one on your wrist all day long, weird. 191 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: Whereas a phone you have it in your pocket, you 192 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: have it on your desk, it's in different places. But 193 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: this is literally on my body at all times. Now 194 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: I sound like one of the crazy conspiracy theory people. 195 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: I mean, it's really easy to go down that rabbit hole, 196 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: it is. 197 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, so I don't think I don't. I still 198 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: don't know where she's getting the microchip from. 199 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, wait, so they're going to put chips in 200 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: people's bodies to protect them against the bad I. 201 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, I don't know. 202 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that one. I don't know about that. 203 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: But what I don't know about? Uh Okay, that was 204 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: a great question, And look at this, it's time for another. 205 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: I don't I hope you have enough question for a 206 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: whole show we have. 207 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: We actually have a lot of questions. We might be good. Okay, 208 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 2: so this next question, Yes. 209 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: We can also take some questions from the Facebook folks 210 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: if they put them on there. So if you guys 211 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: want to put a question in the chat, I can. 212 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you can see those, but I can. 213 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: So okay, okay. So this next question comes from TJ. 214 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: The subject is video call with Grandma rich My ninety 215 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: seven year old grandma is quarantined in the nursing home 216 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: and she's getting lonely. We bought an iPad and I 217 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: set up FaceTime and Google Duo for the family to 218 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 3: call her. I have disabled all security, so when a 219 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: call comes in, all she would have to do is 220 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: slide to accept. This works perfectly on FaceTime, However, she 221 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: would have to press another button to start video on 222 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 3: Duo after the slide to accept. Is there a way 223 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: to have video enabled automatically when accepting a Google Duo 224 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: call on iPad? 225 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: That's okay, so no, I actually tested this, and the 226 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: problem is the way that and I think it's great. 227 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: I think that the way that Apple has done they've 228 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: implemented these things is great, but it's also oh wow, 229 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: I just realized that I can make this bigger on 230 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: the screen for everyone. So okay, So what he's asking is, 231 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: can you make it so that when you slide to 232 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: answer a call on Duo when it's coming in to 233 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: just go write to video. And I tested this on 234 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: my iPhone and here's what happens. You can slide to 235 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: answer the call, but then you also have to do 236 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: one more button press to start the video. And I'm 237 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: not sure if that's an Apple thing or a security thing, 238 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: but that's the way it is, and there's no way 239 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: around it as far as I could tell. Now on 240 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: Android it's different. You just swipe up and boom, it 241 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: starts the video. And Google actually Duo has this cool 242 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: feature which is called knock Knock, So when you're using 243 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: Google Duo, it actually shows the person if you allow 244 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: of video of you, like a preview. Have you seen 245 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: that ever? 246 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: We test this out, Yeah, you said you. We tested 247 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: it the other day, but I didn't see the preview. 248 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: I think because on iPhone, I don't think you see 249 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: the preview. 250 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: It's only on androids, so yeah, so but that's cool. 251 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is cool. And I'm trying to trying to 252 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: see if I have any phones that I'm testing that 253 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: are out that I can't show. 254 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, no, I don't, okay, just making sure, uh, 255 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 4: so yeah, you can't do that, but I I totally 256 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 4: what was the guy's name again, TJ TJ. 257 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: I totally identify with him because I am all about 258 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: getting the literally the simplest possible way of getting like 259 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: these things to friends and family, Like I want to 260 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: make it so that they can just swipe and boom, 261 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: it's done.

Yeah, all right, should. 303 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: We go to your question? 304 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: Sure? 305 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 3: Okay, So this next question comes from Michael Hi Rich. 306 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 3: I'm hoping you will call out the internet providers that 307 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 3: are supplying slower than advertised speeds for the same price. 308 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: I understand it may be due to everyone being at 309 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 3: home during the coronavirus, but as auto insurance companies have 310 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 3: cut insurance for people that are driving less, internet providers 311 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: that are unable to provide their advertised speeds advertised prices 312 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: should reduce their prices during this time. I'm working during 313 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: this time, so my usage has not increased on their system. 314 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: I have Spectrum in Santa Clarita, and I pay seventy 315 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: dollars a month for four hundred megabytes with a guarantee 316 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: minimum of two hundred and I guess the last few 317 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 3: days he's been getting between twenty two and fifty megabytes max. 318 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so little formality thing. By the way, the way 319 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: they measure internet speed, and this is for everyone, is 320 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: megabits per second. So when someone says I have a 321 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: a twenty five connection, that's twenty five megabits per second. 322 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I'm not really sure why that 323 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: is versus megabytes, but that's how they measure it. And 324 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: so when he says, like, for me personally, I have 325 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: a two hundred megabit connection, and if you go into fiber, 326 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: which is like the fastest, it's one gig. So one 327 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: gig gig connection. That's one gigabits per second, I believe. 328 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, so when people have Internet connections, like back 329 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: in the day, they used to be closer to like 330 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: twenty five and now they're closer to you know, one hundred, 331 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: two hundred. Some people have much more than that. But 332 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of like the little lesson on those. But 333 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: with that said, I don't know what to say. I mean, 334 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: this is the reality of everyone working from home. Megan. 335 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: You can talk about your Internet connection. It's it's terrible, right, 336 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's good sometimes. 337 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: And I have Spectrum too. 338 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: We had to get Google Wi Fi to like make 339 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: the connection like go like stronger throughout the house. 340 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: Network. 341 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that helped. 342 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: Google Wi Fi definitely helped. But yeah, like yesterday it 343 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: just like went out for an hour and we don't 344 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: really know why. But two weeks ago, right when everyone 345 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 3: started working from home, like it was horrible, but now 346 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: it's a lot better. 347 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 2: I think it's a lot better. 348 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: So it's better because of Google Wi Fi or because 349 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: of I think. 350 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 2: I think, I think Google Wi Fi. 351 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: And I also think that Spectrum like figured out some issues. 352 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, but my mom actually stopped a Spectrum 353 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: van last week. 354 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: She like stopped the card and. 355 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 3: We need help, and not we need help, but like 356 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 3: was like, you know, stopped him. He stopped, and she 357 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 3: was like, we just got Google Wi Fi, Like what's 358 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 3: wrong with Spectrum? 359 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: And the guy said, we'll keep Google Wi Fi. 360 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 3: He said Google Wi Fi is great because we thought 361 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 3: it was Google Wi Fi because we were still having issues. 362 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: He was like, Google Wi Fi is great. 363 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, no, Spectrum is obviously over capacity because everyone, 364 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 3: everyone in the house is using the internet. 365 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: So it's just I think it's just going to take 366 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of time, you know. 367 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, but maybe Michael needs a router. 368 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. So my question is because he 369 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: said he was getting twenty five. It's a lot of 370 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: times when people come to me and say their internet 371 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: is really bad. It's not necessarily their Internet. It's actually 372 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: it's the router that they're using, Like the Wi Fi 373 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: connection that they're using in their home is just not 374 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: very good. And then the other thing is where you're 375 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: testing your connection. So you know that when you're using 376 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: Wi Fi on your laptop, your connection is probably about 377 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: half of the speed that's coming in at the router. 378 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: So most of the time now unless you have one 379 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: of these new systems, like Megan, have you done a 380 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: speed test on your Wi Fi from where you are 381 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: right now, like compared to where they because I assume 382 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: when the Spectrum guy came there, he was kind of like, 383 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: let me test the Internet at the source, right, is 384 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: that kind of what happened? Yeah, And he's probably like 385 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: you're getting your full speed right. 386 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well so we have someone come the guy the 387 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 3: car that just went by that was. 388 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: Just like okay, speaking of internet. 389 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: By the way, the one coming to our house for us, 390 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: that was someone. 391 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: Speaking of internet. Megan, your your connection just literally went 392 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: out of internet. Yeah, like it's just it went out 393 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: so badly, just now stopped. So anyway, Megan, I just got. 394 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: A thing saying your internet connection is unstable. 395 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, this is what happens 396 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 1: with the whole internet a little bit. Just keep just 397 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: stay on it. It'll come back. It just takes a 398 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: little bit. I'll just I'll just talk, I'll read some 399 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: of the comments online. But uh so and and see 400 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: one of the commenters said, uh, where did I see that? Okay, 401 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: Michael said your picture was flipped the wrong way, So 402 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: I did fix that. And then let's see here. I 403 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: thought someone said, no, I don't know. I thought someone 404 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: said that it depends on the time of day as well. 405 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: But oh yeah, Jason James said the time of day 406 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: impacts the speed and reliability as well. And that's very 407 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: true because it depends like at night. It's really it 408 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: slows down during the day. Actually, it used to be 409 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: at night when it would slow down. Lindsey would always 410 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: complain to me because she would say, rich, every time 411 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: I watched TV at night, like the streaming like Netflix 412 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: would like slow to a crawl. And I said, no way, 413 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: I use the Internet all afternoon and it's totally fine. 414 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: And then next thing you know, I was watching a 415 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: show at night and I'm like, sure enough, that's the 416 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: way it is. Your your video is frozen now Megan, 417 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: you're you're time. 418 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do or. 419 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: Literally just dragged down. Now it's it's back. Now it's 420 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, but anyway, it's back. 421 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: Okay. It says I have forty five megabytes per second. 422 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's good. So I mean now your internet 423 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: that you're getting at your source is probably two hundred. 424 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: George says it's best to keep the router towards the 425 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 1: ceiling for a larger coverage of the area, and that 426 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: is true. A lot of people put their routers like 427 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: on the ground especially, that's a really bad place for them. 428 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: So you want them as close to the center of 429 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: the room as well. Okay, And Jason James says for him, 430 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: it's six thirty to eight pm when I guess it's 431 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: like the worst time. All right, Megan, we'll try try again. 432 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 2: I just dropped my mic. Okay, okay. This next question 433 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 2: comes from Bill hi Rich. 434 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: Do you know about smile dot Amazon dot com. You 435 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 3: sign in with your username and password and get to 436 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 3: pick a charity like feed America and Saint Jude's Children's Research. 437 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: I think it's worth a mention after you check it out. 438 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: And then also so most Walmarts have online ordering and 439 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 3: you can drive to a special door at your local 440 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: Walmart where you call a number and you can pick 441 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 3: up groceries that day. He said that I've done I've 442 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 3: done that with Walmart three times and I've picked up 443 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: about one hundred and forty dollars of food. 444 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: That's interesting that he says you can call special number. 445 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: I don't that's I don't know about that one. 446 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 2: He said. You so you order online and then you 447 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 2: drive to. 448 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 3: A door, yes, door at the Walmart, and then you 449 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: can like you look for a call number. 450 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: We actually did a story on this before you joined tech, 451 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: and yeah, we went to Walmart and this was kind 452 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: of crazy. I'd like to know when that story was 453 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: because it felt so long ago and it was like 454 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: way before grocery shopping online was like a thing. Which 455 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: is really funny because now it seemed like actually, Lindsay 456 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: was able my wife was able to get an Amazon 457 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: Prime delivery for today, which is saying because so many 458 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: people have been having trouble getting those delivery times and she's. 459 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: Been actually not one for today too. 460 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: So maybe today is like the day that they increased 461 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: their thing. Because I went to the store yesterday to 462 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: buy stuff for Easter, and I wasn't able to get 463 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: like anything I needed, Like I had no eggs, no flour, 464 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: no vodka. I was kidding. What was the other. 465 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 2: Thing that they. 466 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: Didn't have was, oh, the sweet potatoes, like I love. 467 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're what you guys do for 468 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: your Easter, but we do like the sweet potato castrole 469 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: that my mom has always made.

And my mom is 473 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: like a very She's like a stickler when it comes 474 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: to recipes, Like she doesn't like to modify anything. So 475 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: when she like made that recipe for the first time, 476 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: it was like she had to like there's only like, 477 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, like five marshmallows on top, and every time 478 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm always like, I want like a thousand marks, Like 479 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: so when I made it one year, I literally dumped 480 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: the whole bag of marshmallows. Do I want to be 481 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: able to cut through a layer of marshmallows to get 482 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: to the candy yams? 483 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 2: Right? Because that's the point. 484 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: And don't get me started on yams. Versus sweet potatoes, 485 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: because I'm still not sure what the difference is. 486 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: Oh I I when you said yams, I just thought 487 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: of sweet. 488 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: Potatoes, and I so and I actually so I had 489 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: to buy purple sweet potatoes. Like they're I think they're 490 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: like Japanese. They're like the purple ones. 491 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: Huh yeah, okay, so interesting. 492 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've had them before. They're really good. They 493 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: just literally the color is just different. I think they're 494 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: a little bit like the consistency maybe is a little 495 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: bit thicker, like it's not as maybe they don't get 496 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: as mushy as a candy sweet potato. It's not that 497 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: big of a deal anyway. So she was able to 498 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: get all that stuff on Amazon today. So back to 499 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: the whole Amazon and Walmart thing. So we did a 500 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: story with Walmart, and my biggest question was, I don't 501 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: like other people picking out my fruits and meats. 502 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's weird. 503 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: Don't you think you're the expert of your own meat 504 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: and veggies, Like you're the best at picking out your stuff? 505 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 2: Yeah? 506 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ever, now I would feel weird with someone bringing 507 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: me like apples and like chicken. 508 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: Actually, I don't think I would care that much. About 509 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: the meats, more about the fruits really the vegetables. So yeah, 510 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: because they have to touch it, and I don't know, well. 511 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: You wash it, but I'm I'm more like certain, like 512 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: like if I'm going to shop for your sake, I 513 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: don't care, I just pick one of Like you're like, 514 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: I want to rib you're. 515 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: Picking the bruised apple. 516 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, just like I don't care. Yeah, you don't care. 517 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: But so here's what Walmart's answer was. They said they 518 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: train all of their people to pick the best. And 519 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: on the flip side, what I've noticed with these like 520 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: Amazon Fresh and all that, like they now Walmart's little 521 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: differ because they're actually picking the stuff from the store floor, right, 522 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: but whereas Amazon Fresh and maybe this is different now 523 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: with Whole Foods. Maybe they're going into Whole Foods. I 524 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: don't know, but like in the past they would have 525 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: like there, it's kind of like no one was in 526 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: that grocery store except the people that are picking your 527 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: stuff for you. So my theory was that the produce 528 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: selection was very good because in a typical grocery store, 529 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: how many people's hands are touching those apples and feeling 530 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: them and putting them back versus behind the scenes kind 531 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: of thing where everything is perfect, right. 532 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I guess in a sense, it's kind of 533 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 3: more monitored versus like someone goes into pavilions and gets 534 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 3: your food right now, you don't know how many people 535 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 3: have touched it, right, And. 536 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm fine with it with how many, Like I don't 537 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: care if a bunch of people touch the food as 538 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: long as it's still crispy when I get it, Like, 539 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: it's fine, but things do get picked through. I also 540 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: think about how much waste is I imagine the produce 541 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: section is generates the most waste in a grocery store. 542 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: Maybe not, but it just seems it's so like kind 543 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: of sad. Like if someone could figure out a perfect 544 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: kind of store for you know, like eBay they call 545 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: it the perfect store because you have a supply and demand, 546 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: like someone bids on something at the exact price that 547 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: they want to buy it for. Like if that could 548 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: be for produce, like every single apple that ever gets grown, 549 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: like it never gets wasted, Like that'd be amazing. That'd 550 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: be my dream. Let me read some of the comments 551 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: here because we are on Let's see here. Danielle says, 552 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: I used to work at Walmart. Not anymore items out 553 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: of stock now and there are limited spots available for pickup, 554 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: depends on the area. But no luck here. Frank says. 555 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: Grocery shopping online was a thing in two thousand. It was, 556 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: it's been around for a while. But and let's see, 557 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: and daniel says, right, banana's yellow. I want to eat 558 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: many right away. That's the other thing, Danielle, You're stumbling 559 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: upon a very good thing. When I order bananas, I 560 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: would like fifty percent to be green and fifty percent 561 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: to be yellow, right, because this is the problem with bananas. 562 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: It's like half of them. Yeah, it's every fruit goes 563 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: from like amazing to cannot eat instantly. 564 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 2: You're at a fifty really. 565 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 3: Fast, right, Yeah, they just figure out, well didn't we 566 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 3: do a story? 567 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah we did, And I guess they did figure out 568 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: something like that. 569 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 2: But like that's okay. Yeah, that's another okay. 570 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: And actually I've never been to Walmart because there aren't 571 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 3: many Walmart. 572 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 2: Hold on, say it again, I've never been to Walmart. 573 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: Never been to a Walmart in your entire life. 574 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's I mean, I've seen commercials. I know 575 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: that they're out there, but I've never been. There's not 576 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: a Walmart like in LA. I don't think there's any 577 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: Walmart in That's why US never always Yeah, I know, 578 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: super weird, not culture. 579 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: That is amazing. Well, I will say that I probably 580 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: never was in a Walmart until I moved to Louisiana, 581 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: and that's when I first or no, actually my first 582 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: Walmart was when I moved to Washington State and US 583 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: I lived in Yakama and I went to my first 584 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: Walmart and and I loved it. I mean, I know 585 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: Walmart is kind of like, you know, lover hate kind 586 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: of thing, but I I'm all about it. 587 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: Isn't it just like Target? 588 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: Oh, Target, except like thirty percent cheaper? Like oh wow? 589 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean it's you think Target's cheap until you go 590 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: into a Walmart and it's Walmart is much. It's you know, 591 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: like Target used to. I used to consider Target inexpensive, 592 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: and now I don't consider it inexpensive anymore, at least 593 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: not the LA locations LA locations. Now here's the other thing. 594 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: I talk about this because I've lived in various states, 595 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: and I've lived in I've lived in Washington State, I've 596 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: lived in Louisiana, New Jersey and La and in Los 597 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: Angeles stores are not cheap, Like you don't even realize, Megan, 598 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: but the grocery store in Los Angeles is probably forty 599 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: to fifty percent more expensive than a grocery store in anywhere, 600 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: even even out of like La County, like not Orange County. 601 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: Insane. 602 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: You have no idea here is five dollars catch up 603 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: in Louisiana's two fifty the same exact bottle. And you 604 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: just don't realize that they're building in a bunch of 605 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: costs of doing business in Los Angeles. So it's just 606 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: a reality. But you don't realize because you're you're doing 607 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: business here. And the only reason I know this is 608 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: because I've lived in other places and I'll never forget 609 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: one time, you know, even ordering pizza. So you order 610 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: pizza in Louisiana or you know, North Dakota, a pizza 611 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: delivery is going to be fifty percent less than pizza 612 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: delivery here. It's just the way it is. 613 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: And it's insane. It's even more expensive though. 614 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 3: In Hawaii, oh gosh, it goes up like another fifty times. 615 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: From La times square Hawaii, and what's the other one 616 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: times square in Alaska. I've never been to Alaska, though. 617 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: Alaska it's supposed to be really Oh that makes. 618 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: Super expensive up there. Now when I'm in Hawaii, I 619 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: do not care. 620 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: I don't care. 621 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: I will say whatever it takes, because number one, I 622 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: can't imagine how you get that stuff there. 623 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: It all. I can't complain. You can't complain if you're 624 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: not allowed to complain. 625 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: But like you know, if you live there, if I 626 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: live there, I'd become curmudgeting, like two weeks. 627 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: You'd have to grow your own food, you know. 628 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: A little, a little trivia for you.

Verizon slash Frontier. 666 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: Used to be used to be Verise and now it's 667 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: Frontier FiOS. 668 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, so so yeah, So basically Google Wi 669 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 3: Fi or Ero is what you're going to say. 670 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: Megan already knows all my answers because I just have 671 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: the same answers every time. 672 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 3: Some of these questions we like, I've asked so many 673 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 3: times that. 674 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: I just here's the thing. Now, people don't listen to 675 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: everything I'm saying. They're not like, like I'm keeping track 676 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: of everything I say because it's come out of my mouth. 677 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 1: But you know, there aren't people sitting there like listening 678 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: to every single thing I say on every podcast, on 679 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: every news clip, on every kfi thing. But I say 680 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: these things over and over. 681 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 682 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: The reality, well, which one do you like better? 683 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 2: Google Wi Fi or Hero? Well? 684 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: I have I personally have Eero and I've had no 685 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: problems with it whatsoever. But I think that Google Wi 686 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: Fi is good. I think it really comes down to 687 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: price and what you need. So if you go and 688 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: you look at EO and they only have a three 689 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: pack and you just need a two pack. Like Google 690 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: Wi Fi I think has a bit more options. I 691 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: think the standard Google Wi Fi is just one node 692 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: and then like one access point, so one one and 693 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: or you can even just get one thing, and they 694 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: say that covers a pretty large house. So it kind 695 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: of depends on what you need. And I think it 696 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: in what's on sale. So if you go online and 697 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: you see that Google wi fis or Google Nest WiFi 698 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: is on sale at a really great price, then go 699 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: with that, right Or if you see that ero is 700 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: having some sort of sale, go with that. So I 701 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: have no preference in the game. I think that all 702 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: and in fact, I really have no preference among all 703 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: of the mesh networks as they call them. I think 704 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: that they're all fantastic and they're going to be way 705 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: better than what you have typically, which is the typical 706 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: setup is what you get from your Internet service provider, 707 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: and that Wi Fi is going to cover about a 708 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, three square foot area around your router and 709 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: that's it. So and Alma is asking on on the 710 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: live chat, what do you think of Orby? And I 711 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: think Orby is great too, I haven't tested Orby personally, 712 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: but it gets a lot of great reviews and that's 713 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Netgear's product and it's perfect. Are yeah, that's Neckgear Orby right? 714 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: Or is it links to Orby? I think it's Neckgear. 715 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm like scared to do anything on my computer because 716 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: I don't know what shows up. Oh you know, I 717 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: don't know what you see. But yeah, Orby is from Neckgear, 718 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that one's great too, So I 719 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 1: think any of them are going to be perfect for sure. 720 00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 3: All right, Okay, this next question comes from Larry. Is 721 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 3: it worth the money for Phone Soap three? And if so, 722 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 3: how much is it worth buying for? 723 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: Ooh, well, I will tell you Phone Soap. Let me 724 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: explain what it is. It's a it's a sanitizer for 725 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: your phone and it's also a charger as well. So 726 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: we interviewed the CEO of the company. And I never 727 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: used my Phone Soap. I got one for Christmas. I 728 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: think it was a year ago or two years ago, 729 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: and I never plugged it in until coronavirus. And now 730 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: I have it on my bedside and I put my 731 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: phone in there, not every day, but definitely after I 732 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: visit the grocery store. I pop it in there and 733 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: probably every you know, two or three days, I'll throw 734 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: it in there, and it's a UV light, so it 735 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: kind of closes up over it. It splashes your phone 736 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: with UV light and there's no water. That's the bad, 737 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: bad word to use. 738 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 2: It was gonna be like what no, but it puts. 739 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: It bathes your phone in UV light, and UV light 740 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: is proven to kill bacteria and viruses on the surface, 741 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: and so it kind of renders anything on your phone 742 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: that's a virus or bacteria useless. And so for that reason, 743 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: I like it. Now. I will tell you what I 744 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: learned from another infection specialist that told me that they 745 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: believe that the germs and stuff on your phone are 746 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: not that harmful to you because ninety nine percent of 747 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: the time they are our own germs. So I thought 748 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: that was interesting, and it kind of makes sense because 749 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: you would think people would be getting sick from their 750 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: phones all the time because we're carrying them everywhere. But 751 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: if you think about it, most of the time, it's 752 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: just you handling your phone. Now, people hand me their 753 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,439 Speaker 1: phone all the time to do things. I generally don't 754 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: like to touch them because they're very dirty, and I 755 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 1: think that's where you get that cross contamination is when 756 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: you touch something else that's not yours. But most of 757 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,280 Speaker 1: the time, so the argument being is that you're probably 758 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: more at risk of getting sick by touching someone else's phone, 759 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: or someone else's desk or on the you know, an airplane, 760 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: like the tray table that's dirty from the last person, 761 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, anything, you're you're getting other people's germs. So 762 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,760 Speaker 1: our homes are probably filled with germs, but they're mostly ours, 763 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: and that's why people think they get sick more when 764 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: they travel or they go out somewhere, you know whatever. 765 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: With all that said, I think that the I don't 766 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: think it can hurt to have a phone soap it's 767 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: eighty bucks for this device, and he's asking how much 768 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: do I think it's worth? Probably because the devices are 769 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: sold out everywhere, and so maybe he's looking at it 770 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: on eBay and that's why how much is it worth? 771 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: But I think it's worth it, And I don't know, 772 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: do you have one of these things? I think also 773 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: with a phone. With a phone, ever since Apple said 774 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: that you can use a liceol wipe on it, I 775 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: think it'll be just just as well served with a 776 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: lice al wipe. 777 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 3: You can buy liceol wipes. They're literally like I found 778 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 3: available Lifesol wipes and Clorox wipes yesterday and they were 779 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 3: gone in a second. 780 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: Did you order on Amazon? No, they were gone. 781 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: So you were watching the websites that tell you about 782 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: the Yeah, yep, yeah, yeah. I find most of the 783 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: time those things are just sold out instantly and that's it. 784 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: They're there. They keep going in stock. But yeah, they're 785 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: really tough to get. But if you can, and my 786 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: only advice with those when you're using them on your 787 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: phone is to ring them out a little bit, Like 788 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: you don't want like a sopping wet lice all wipe 789 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: on your phone because it's no, it's just a little 790 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: bit too wet. I think if you ring it out 791 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: just a little bit, you don't want to get rid 792 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: of everything. But then you use that and that'll clean 793 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: your phone. And I've been using them on my phone 794 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: in my computer now and it's great, so nice. All right, 795 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 1: I think we have time for one more question, Megan. 796 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 3: Okay, this next question comes from Sally. We tried having 797 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 3: a virtual dance birthday party for our friend's birthday last night, but. 798 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 2: Everyone could barely hear the music. 799 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 3: Is there an app we can use in which everyone 800 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 3: in the group can hear the music at the same time? 801 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 3: Any other suggestions. 802 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 2: On how to do this? 803 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: Did she say how she did the party? Did she 804 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: say she did it on Zoom? No? Okay, Now, I'd 805 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: probably just recommend Zoom. And the way I would recommend 806 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: it is you can do a couple of things. If 807 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: you have like another like another, like I would Here's 808 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: what I would do. I would personally either share my 809 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: screen and have YouTube up on the screen, and that 810 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,359 Speaker 1: is my audio. So YouTube is basically one of the participants. 811 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: So I think that that's probably the best way of 812 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: doing it, and then you have the audio is sort 813 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: of piped in from your computer into Zoom. The other 814 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: way you can do it is if you want, you 815 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: can connect your phone to your computer. But the thing 816 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: is you want to have the music as a participant 817 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: on your Zoom. That's the best way of doing it. 818 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: So I would use my phone to connect for me 819 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 1: to show my face, and then on my I would 820 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: be a participant and share my screen, but I would 821 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: have YouTube on the computer and that would be piping 822 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: in the audio, and that way everyone hears the audio 823 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: nice and clean. I can play DJ on YouTube and 824 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: we can all be participating from our phones. That would 825 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: probably be the best way to do it. 826 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 2: That makes sense. 827 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: I like that it's a little bit of set up 828 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: and you need two devices. But I would say a 829 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: lot of people have a computer and a phone, so 830 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: or access to that. 831 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 2: And also parties take a little bit of setup in general. 832 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, like you wouldn't expect a DJ to just 833 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: come to your party and like play music off his 834 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: smartphone speaker. Right, you gotta pipe into something. 835 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 2: You gotta put some effort into it. 836 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: Got anything in life, if you want it to be good, 837 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: you gotta put a little effort into it. So that's 838 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: that's my life advice for you.
