00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: because I you know, I just by the way, I

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,960

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: consume this live on fook behind the scenes, but also

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,200

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's just so much going on in the

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: tech world and it does get me excited, and you know,

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: I'm basically my job is to kind of play with

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: these gadgets. See what's cool, see what's good, see what's bad.

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: And the neat part is that I feel like a

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of good things are happening, especially for consumers lately.

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: And Google, Man, they had this event last week. Now

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: I was in Japan during the actual event, and so

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't be there, unfortunately, because this is always one

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: of my favorite things is to go to any of

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: these events. But Google especially and Apple of course in Samsung,

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many good ones now, but they

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: launched so many new products. Let me count these up.

33
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: You got one, you got the Google Pixel two two

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: of those, because there's an xcel and a regular. You've

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: got a Google Home Mini speaker. Then you've got a

36
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Google Home Max. Then you've got a Google Pixel book

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: and pen. Then you've got Google Clips. Man, that's a

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Oh and Google Pixel Buds. I didn't

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: even count those. But that's a lot of products. And

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is is that it's becoming really competitive

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: for these companies. I mean, you've got Apple who sort

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: of led the way in creating the products from start

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: to finish. They create the product and the software that

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: runs on it, and a lot of people like that

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: because it works really nicely. If you've ever used an

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: iPhone or a MacBook computer or any of these things,

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they really do work nicely. And that's because

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: Apple is kind of controlling it from start to finish,

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: and so other tech companies have kind of taken a

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: page from that. Microsoft did that with the Surface and

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: they decided, you know what, we're going to make our

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: own computer. And then of course Samsung they don't really

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: They've done some stuff with software because they do actually

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: make a software called Ties in which they use to

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: run on their some of their mobile devices, but on

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: their phones they do use Android, but it's a heavily

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: customized version of Android that you'll only find on a

58
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Samsung phone, and so they've really tightly integrated the hardware

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: and the software as well. And of course Google too.

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: So we saw the Google Pixel lilast year. That was

61
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: absolutely one of my favorite phones of last year. Such

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: a great device, and what I loved about it is

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: that it was simple, it was pure Android, and the

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: camera on that thing was just amazing. And the funny

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: thing is about the camera is that it's not even

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: really the camera that's so good. It's the processing power

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: that Google puts behind it with artificial intelligence. So let's

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: just go over some of the things they announced. They're

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: Google Pixel two, that's the first thing, and basically this

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: looks like the Pixel except a little bit longer. They

71
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: kind of kept that same weird back that they had before,

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: with the kind of metal on the bottom and the

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: glass on the top. I was never really a huge

74
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: fan of the design of the original Pixel, but I

75
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: did carry it around for many months because I love

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the camera so much and the software. They have a

77
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: five inch version or a six inch version, and they

78
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: have these funny names too. They've got them in clearly white,

79
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: kind of blue, just black, and then the bigger one

80
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: comes in black and white and just black. So the

81
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: great thing about the these devices are well, they're not

82
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: really I mean, Google would love them to be mass

83
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: market devices, but they're just not. They do have the

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: best camera I've ever seen on a smartphone, but people

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: just you know, they're tough to get. They're only sold

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: at Verizon and then you have to get them, you know,

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: unlocked from the Google Store. And I think maybe they'll

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: be in more places this year. But they weren't even

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: tough to they were tough to get just by buying them.

90
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean you couldn't even get them online. It was

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: like they were sold out for half the year. Anyway,

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: this year's Google Pixel two has the world's highest rated

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: smartphone camera, so it gets a score of ninety eight

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: by the DxO Mark, which is you know, there's a

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: lot of websites that rate things, but DxO mark is

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of this big mobile rating website for cameras and

97
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: regular cameras and of course smartphone cameras, and they have

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: become smitten with the Google Pixel because it's just so good.

99
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: So I just think the cameras on the picture on

100
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: this thing was just amazing last year. Now they've added

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: some new things, which you have this new portrait mode.

102
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: All the cameras are adding this thing, the portrait mode,

103
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: which gives you that nice blurry background, and Android devices

104
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: have had this for a while, but now Google is

105
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: doing it in a much better way. And the neat

106
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: thing about theirs is that it works with selfies as well,

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: so not just on the back camera but also on

108
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: the front facing camera, so you can have a lot

109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: of fuhne with that. The videos are stabilized. You get

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: unlimited storage which to me nowadays, I mean, it's cool,

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: but it's not that big of a deal because everyone

112
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: gets unlimited storage with Google Photos. Anyway, this you just

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: get the full resolution. So you can charge this thing

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, you get up to seven hours. They have

115
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: this new feature in it called Google Lens, and this

116
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of back in the day they

117
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: had something called Google Goggles, and it was basically where

118
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: you can aim your phone at something and it identifies it.

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: And we all know Google knows everything about everything, So

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: you can have some phone with that. Point it at

121
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the Eiffel Tower, it's going to tell you all information

122
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: about the Eiffel Tower. Point it at a book, it's

123
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: going to tell you where you can buy that book,

124
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: or more information about the book. And of course you

125
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: can do QR codes as well and phone numbers. One

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: of the cool things is you can scan a business

127
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: card and just tap on the phone number and call

128
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: that person or email them. There you have it. So

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Google Pixel two, that's going to be coming out very soon.

130
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: And the pricing on the Google Pixel too. Let's look

131
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: up the pricing on the Google Pixel two. So let's

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: see six hundred and fifty dollars for the original for

133
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: the regular size, I guess I should say, and that

134
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: is going to be for sixty four gigs of storage.

135
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: So if you want sixty four gigs of storage that's unlocked,

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: that's going to cost you six hundred and fifty bucks.

137
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: If you want one hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage,

138
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: you got to pay an extra hundred bucks. So you're

139
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: talking now seven hundred and fifty dollars for that phone. Now,

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: if you want to go with the bigger pixel, the

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: six inch pixel XL, which is always my choice, I

142
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: always go with the bigger phone because I like the

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: larger screen size and the bigger battery, I say, why not.

144
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: You're already spending that much money, you might as well

145
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: spend a little bit more. And then you've got, let's see,

146
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: so the bigger phone sixty four gigs, So that is

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: let's sell me what our total amount eighth and fifty dollars. So,

148
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: and of course the just black is there, but the

149
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: black and white is sold out already on the website

150
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at it. Then there's this thing called

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the Google Home Mini. This is a speaker basically like

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: the one that came out last year Google Home. This

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: is a tiny one. This is a fifty dollars speaker,

154
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: voice activated. You can ask it questions, all kinds of stuff.

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: I have one set up here in my office and

156
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I really like it. It's a great size. And the

157
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: cool thing about this device is that you can, basically,

158
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: at this price, put one in every single room. So

159
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: you put one of these in every room. You can

160
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: go into any room you want, ask questions, you know,

161
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: get answers, change your lights. I've got my lights behind

162
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: me here. You see those lights if you're watching on

163
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: the live stream, I've got those hooked up and I

164
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: can control all the lights in this room by just

165
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: doing a Google command, which is really neat. You could

166
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: change the color, turn them on, turn them off, dim them,

167
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: you can play music. There's so how much you can do.

168
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I have a son No speaker in every room and

169
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I love Sonos, but it's really wearing thin on me

170
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: at this point because I'm kind of digging the fifty

171
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: dollars Google Home Mini. And the sound is really good

172
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: on it, so, I mean it's not gonna be as

173
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: good as sons obviously, but it's pretty good. I mean,

174
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: how good do you need your sound to sound. I

175
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: don't know. For me, I don't need it that good.

176
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: I just want to hear some music while I'm cooking,

177
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: And if I can easily call out, you know, an

178
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: album or a genre of music and have it play,

179
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that's pretty convenient. And also my kids they love asking

180
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: questions to Google. I do too, and it's just fun

181
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: to always have someone around that knows everything. Other than

182
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: my wife, she would say, I'm a note all. Probably.

183
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: It can also recognize up to five five other voices,

184
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: so six voices total on the Google Home Mini, and

185
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: that is going to be fifty dollars when it comes

186
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: out very soon as well Google Home Max this is

187
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: four hundred bucks.

188
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: Whoo.

189
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: That one's expensive. So this is kind of to me,

190
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: seems like the most similar to what Sonos is doing.

191
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: If you want a really high powered, quality speaker, and

192
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: so this is it. This is the high quality speaker.

193
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: And this is obviously a bigger speaker. It's twenty times

194
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: more powerful than the original Google Home. I have not

195
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: tried this one out myself, but this one has something

196
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: called smart Sound, and Sonos has something very similar built in. Basically,

197
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: the speaker adapts itself dynamically to the room that it's in,

198
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: so your stuff always sounds great. The problem is when

199
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: I tried to set this up with my sons, it

200
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: never worked, so I don't even have this thing. I

201
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: don't have my sons tuned in a good way. But

202
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: the smart sound on the Google Home Max, you don't

203
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: have to do anything. It automatically uses Google's artificial intelligence

204
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: to adapt to your environment, your context, and your preferences.

205
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: It automatically tunes itself. That's really cool. So I would

206
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: like to see that happen. And again I'm not an audiophile,

207
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: so I don't really don't care, but it's really cool

208
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: that you can do this stuff. And the neat thing

209
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: about the Google Home Max. When you get that, you

210
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: get twelve months of YouTube music ad free on Google.

211
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: So twelve months times ten bucks, that's one hundred and

212
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So you do the math four hundred minus

213
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: one twenty you're talking what two hundred eighty dollars two

214
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: three four, Yeah, So you know, if you do your

215
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: math like that Google Pixel book, this one is a

216
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: head scratcher for me. I just don't see spending one

217
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on a device that does not run apps

218
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: that I need it to run, so I get it.

219
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: I have a MacBook. I just got a new MacBook

220
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Pro and I love it. It's thin, it's light, but it

221
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: runs everything I need. And now most of the stuff

222
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: I do do in Chrome. But there's a lot of

223
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: little apps I have on my you know doc here

224
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: that are not Chrome apps. They're not web apps, they're

225
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: actually apps. So this only runs Android apps, and of

226
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: course anything that runs on the web, so Google Docs,

227
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Google Photos, Gmail YouTube. But the cool thing about this

228
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: is that it's a four and one suit. It's a laptop,

229
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: and then you can flip it back it's a tablet.

230
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: Then you can also flip it kind of tent style,

231
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: so you can, you know, watch things on the plane

232
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: like that. But I just don't see the I mean,

233
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: I see the appeal of this thing at one hundred

234
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: bucks or two hundred dollars, but not at a thousand.

235
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: So to me, the Google Pixel Book is a very

236
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: very small targeted amount of people that would want to

237
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: get that device. It's definitely not for me, definitely not

238
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: for the creator. Moving on, Google Clips, this is a

239
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 1: camera that's also a head scratcher. It's kind of like

240
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: a GoPro without a screen and with a brain, so

241
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: it automatically captures moments in your life without audio either.

242
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: So this is kind of a weird little thing. I

243
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: think it's about two hundred and fifty dollars, Yeah, coming

244
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: out two hundred and fifty bucks. Works with iPhone, works

245
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: with Samsung, and works with a pixel. But it's just

246
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: a weird thing. You set it and you forget it.

247
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: And this thing is going to recognize your family and

248
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: your pets and automatically take pictures or videos of them

249
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: as it sees fit. It's kind of a weird thing.

250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't really see this becoming very appealing because the

251
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: reality is, if you want to take a picture of

252
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: your kids, you want to take a picture of your

253
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: kids now, I get it. There are some moments that

254
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: are really cool, like if you're teaching your kid how

255
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: to walk and you can set this thing up on

256
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: the side and capture your kid taking its first steps.

257
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: I get that. Or your dog leave it in your

258
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: house and you can see your dog all day long,

259
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: kind of some of the funny things your dog does.

260
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: But the reality is, I don't know, that's kind of

261
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: a weird one. So I'm gonna skip that. But maybe

262
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: some people will buy it. I don't think so. Two

263
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks, no way. That's a big purchase

264
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: for no sound and kind of a weird, hands off

265
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of approach. Now, if they put it out for

266
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: fifty bucks, yeah, I could see that thing being popular.

267
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: And finally, Google Pixel Buds. These are earbuds that you know.

268
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: They basically are wireless headphones for your Pixel or any

269
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: Android phone. I have not tried these, but I don't

270
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: like the look of them. They look kind of weird

271
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: and they go in your ears, and I'm not a

272
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: fan of any earbuds that go in your ears except

273
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: for my Apple AirPods, and those work fantastic. I can't

274
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: imagine a better pair of headphones at this point for

275
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: everyday use. Those are one hundred and sixty bucks. These

276
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: are I think, let's see Google Pixel buds. I believe

277
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: these are yeah, one hundred and sixty dollars, so same

278
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: price so to me, unless you want the Google Assistant,

279
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: which is built into these things as well, I don't

280
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: really see these as very appealing to me. Or of course,

281
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: you have to have all Google products because you're a

282
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: Google fanboy, but I don't know. Premium audio. They don't

283
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: get tangled because there's like a small cord that just

284
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: goes around the back of your neck wireless of course,

285
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: built in microphone. They fit your ears. The neat thing

286
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: they showed off at the Google event is how they

287
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: can translate things, so real time translation, which you can

288
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: speak into your speak into them in a different language,

289
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: and then it'll translate into another language, but all through

290
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: your phone. So you can already do this on your

291
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: Android phone anyway, So I don't really see the point

292
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: of that either. So anyway, but I guess my point

293
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: out of all these Google products is that I like

294
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: I like what they're doing with a pixel, I like

295
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: what they're doing with the speakers, but the rest of

296
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: the stuff I can kind of pass on. So there

297
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: you have it, all right. Taking more of your phone

298
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,280

00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: All Right, this is a logan. I'm just calling them.

321
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: Maybe you've gone over the topic or not, but.

322
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about switching phones right now. I have an Android,

323
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: I mean the Galaxy Note five, and I just want

324
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: to see what are your thoughts on the next phones

325
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: that are coming out in regards to the new Note,

326
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: the iPhone eight, Plus or the iPhone X or the

327
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: Google Pixel.

328
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know, aren't there so many great

329
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: phones to choose from? Right now? Logan, I am like

330
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm in heaven right now with all these phones.

331
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's so many good options to choose some

332
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: but it's like you know which one is the best one?

333
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 4: You know, like like which one? And I YouTube the

334
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: different reviews and you know the now so they don't

335
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: have that many reviews on it. But but yeah, you know,

336
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm just like, what are your thoughts?

337
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so let's go through something. Well, first off,

338
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: what what do you want to do on your phone?

339
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Are you doing social media? Are you doing pictures? Like

340
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: what's most important to you?

341
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: I'm a relator, so I would say pictures, you know,

342
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: and kind of having everything synced up I have.

343
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: I have a HP laptop and then I have the iPad,

344
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: so I'm kind of all over the place, but I

345
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: don't really have preference.

346
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so realtor, so I would definitely say pictures are

347
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: going to be important to you for sure, That's number one.

348
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: So I mean that to me is kind of Google Pixel,

349
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: the or the Note eight. So the thing about the

350
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Note eight, I think would be good for you is

351
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: that you would use the stylus I think to either

352
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: markup documents. You probably send contracts to people, so that

353
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: would be really handy. The only thing I don't like

354
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: about the Note eight is some of the bloat software

355
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: on it. But otherwise I've been carrying around for a while.

356
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I really like Get. I think it's one of the

357
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: better Android phones out there, and it's a well rounded phone.

358
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: So the pixel is amazing, but it's kind of like

359
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: one sided. It doesn't have a lot of the features,

360
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the neat features that you get, like

361
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: wireless charging that you get on a Samsung device. So

362
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: when it comes to iPhone, I mean, look, here's the

363
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: deal with the iPhone. iPhone is amazing, and as a realator,

364
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, you might find some use in certain features

365
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: on the iPhone. Just having a phone that a lot

366
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: of people have. You can easily air drop photos. You can,

367
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: but you're telling me you use an HP laptop, which

368
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: leads me to believe you won't be using air drop

369
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: or I message on your laptop. So I think for you,

370
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: it really comes down to you've had a Galaxy you

371
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: might want to look at. I'd say, maybe the No.

372
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: Eight.

373
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna be the best bet for

374
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: you as a realator logan because you're gonna get a

375
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: lot of use out of that, out of that stylus.

376
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: So thanks so much. Yeah. I mean, these these phones

377
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: nowadays are so good and there's so many of them

378
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: that it's really tough to make a decision. The iPhone ten.

379
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm not discounting that phone. I'm just saying, you know,

380
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone ten. The problem with that one is that

381
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of new technology, so you may not want

382
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: to jump on board right away. You're gonna pay a

383
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: thousand bucks for something that's a little bit unproven. Six

384
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: one nine area code. You're on with Rich six one nine.

385
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: Who am I speaking with?

386
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 5: Hey? This is John John.

387
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: How you doing. Are you calling from San Diego?

388
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: I am calling from San Diego. I'm using two of

389
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 5: the products that you recommended.

390
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Uh, oh, well, I hope you're happy with them.

391
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: One is the original Pixel right, love it, and the

392
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 5: other one is my epic Epic two wireless headphone.

393
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: Look at that. You're my best fan because you're using

394
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: two things that I've recommended in the past and you

395
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: like them.

396
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 5: Both, right, I do they work fantastic, They pare easy

397
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 5: and everything. Yeah, I have a question with the Pixel two.

398
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 5: The greatest thing I think about initially getting the Pixel

399
00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: was it had fantastic support that you could get their

400
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 5: text their phone, and I'm wondering if they're continuing with

401
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 5: that tech support. That's my first question. The second one

402
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: is why don't they ever build phone that have a

403
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 5: great case in them on them? We don't build it

404
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 5: with the case. I don't understand why they don't think

405
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 5: of that. Because we get pases and we have to

406
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 5: go out and buy one. Why don't they build a

407
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 5: phone with a great case on it.

408
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so to kind of break down your question, John, Okay,

409
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: so Pixel two. Yeah, A big part of the first

410
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Pixel was that they had sort of instant support on it,

411
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: so you had like basically you could chat with someone.

412
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: You know. They didn't mention that about the second one.

413
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I know you can call someone with a Pixel two.

414
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have the chat support or

415
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: the instant support like they had with the first one.

416
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: So that's a really good question. I'm not sure. I

417
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: don't see it in any of the paperwork that I

418
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: had on the Pixel two, which is interesting because they

419
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: really hyped that up for the first pixel. Maybe they

420
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: realized that a lot of people buying the pixel were

421
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: sort of, I don't know, a little bit tech savvy,

422
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: so maybe they just decided they didn't really need that.

423
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: Let me see if it if they mentioned that here

424
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: in my paperwork. So let's see, we've got unlimited storage,

425
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: big entertainment, your personal Google search, what you want better together?

426
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. Maybe I don't know. I don't

427
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: think they discontinue that feature, but I don't see it

428
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: as highlighted. But that's a really interesting question. And basically,

429
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: if you had a pixel, which I carried around for

430
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: a long time last year, you would be able to

431
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of get instant support from someone at Google. And

432
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I just actually used this yesterday for something else unrelated,

433
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: and I was chatting on their website with someone and

434
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: they knew who I was because I was logged in.

435
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: So it was a really cool little feature. So I

436
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: don't know about that part. The second part about the case,

437
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: So that's you know, I think part of this john

438
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: is that people like to customize their phones. So if

439
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: you have a case that's built in to the company

440
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: that might seem like, oh, well, people aren't really going

441
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: to like this device because they can't customize it, So

442
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: that might be part of it. But there are some

443
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: phones that have sort of a rugged exterior, and that

444
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: is the the Samsung Galaxy Active series and also some

445
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: of the there's some other phones from Verizon. They're sort

446
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: of like rough and tough, and they do they come

447
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: they don't come with a case on them, but they

448
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: basically have a case. So I think that that's kind

449
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: of what you're talking about. But the reality is, I

450
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: think number one, the case industry is a multi billion

451
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: dollar industry, So I think the case manufacturers would be

452
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: very unhappy if if all these phones came with a

453
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: case and they no one got to buy a case

454
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: for them. But I think personally, it just depends on

455
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: the person. You know. I like these cases from a

456
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: company called Peel and Getpeel dot com, and they're super

457
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: thin cases, like literally so thin, it's just unbelievable. But

458
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: sometimes I like cases that are a little bit thicker.

459
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: If I'm traveling, I definitely put a bigger, thicker case

460
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: on my phone because the chances is when I'm traveling

461
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: of me dropping my phone is much higher. So that's

462
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: why I like to have a case when I travel,

463
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: but for every day, I really take risks with a lot.

464
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: With a lot of my phones, I kind of don't

465
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: keep a case on them, and that could be a

466
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: problem because I do drop them and that's not fun,

467
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: all right. Phone number is three one zero five nine

468
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: four three zero zero three three one zero five to

469
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: nine four three zero zero three. John A great question,

470
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: And realistically, people love to customize their phones. I mean,

471
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: to me, the part of the beauty of a phone

472
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: is that there's so many choices when it comes to cases,

473
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the appeal of the

474
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: iPhone too to a lot of people, is that there

475
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: are so many options when it comes to cases and

476
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: when it comes to accessories. And so I've noticed with

477
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: the Samsung line of phones, there's a lot more You're

478
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: seeing a lot more cases, You're seeing a lot more

479
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: accessories that are made for Samsung because they are kind

480
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: of neck and neck with iPhone when it comes to

481
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: how many people have them and how many people know

482
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: about them. When it comes to a phone like the Pixel,

483
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really see as many accessories for

484
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: the Pixel because yeah, that's just the way it is

485
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: with the pixel. All right, next question we've got from

486
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: the area code three one. Oh you are on with Rich?

487
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: Who am I speaking with?

488
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 6: Hi? This is June Rich.

489
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: How are you, June? I'm doing great. Where are you

490
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: calling from today?

491
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 6: Again? It's the same old VA nurse?

492
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, how you doing?

493
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 6: I'm okay. I want to know why T Mobile is

494
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 6: going to this new program with their new phones where

495
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 6: they're not financing anymore, and they were saying that more

496
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 6: of the other companies are going to go the same trend.

497
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: So what do you mean, what like what they're not

498
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: financing in what way?

499
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 6: You know, how you would go and buy a phone

500
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 6: and then you would just pay your the phone off

501
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 6: within two years within your bill every month.

502
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're not doing that. They're not offering that

503
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: to you anymore, well.

504
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 6: At least not at Costco. I usually do that at

505
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 6: Costco where it kind of gives me a gift card

506
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 6: and it meets both to both ends for me, and

507
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 6: Costco is not doing it. I think they're just trying

508
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: to really phase out T Mobile and they're really marked

509
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 6: getting at and T is verising more.

510
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: Oh interesting that could be, you know, it could be

511
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: on the back end of Tea Mobile. Maybe they're just

512
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: not giving Costco the deal anymore. But I mean, I

513
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: think for the most part, from what I've seen, is

514
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: that almost the only way you can buy a phone

515
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: these days is the monthly payments. I mean, obviously you

516
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: can pay full price for it, but I think that

517
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: the majority of people are financing it, and that's what

518
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: I see, and I still see it on T Mobile's website.

519
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: So maybe you just have to go direct to Tea Mobile.

520
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: I know, Costco Wireless. I mean Costco in general always

521
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: has a better deal on just about everything, as you know, June,

522
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: because I love shopping there as well, and they always

523
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: have sort of a slightly better deal than anything else

524
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: anywhere else you'd get a phone or anything. So if

525
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: you get a bag of popcorn at Costco, it's going

526
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: to be a little bit bigger than the bag of

527
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: popcorn you get somewhere else for the same price. If

528
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: you buy, you know, an electronics device, which I love

529
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: every time. I mean, you know, when I go into Costco,

530
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: I have to look through the electronics section. That's that's

531
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: my thing. That's just what I do. My wife. Every

532
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: single time we go into Costco. She starts going into

533
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: the store and I say, honey, you know I got

534
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: to go look at the electronics. She goes, why you

535
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: just looked last week. I said, well, I have to

536
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: see what's in here, what's new, what's different. And I

537
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: love looking at the prices because let's say you buy

538
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: something like a hard drive at Costco, So your hard

539
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: drive is going to be maybe the same price as

540
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: that hard drive somewhere else, but you're gonna get like

541
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: maybe a free something with that hard drive, like a

542
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: free USB flash drive or something like that. So realistically,

543
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: Costco always has a great deal. Let's say you buy

544
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: a printer there, Well you're going to get a printer,

545
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: but you're also gonna get like a year's worth of

546
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: ink cartridges, whereas you may get two ink cartridges at

547
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: best Buy. So they always have a little value add on,

548
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: which I love. So if you're shopping for electronics, definitely

549
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: check out Costco first because they always have fantastic deals.

550
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: So June, thanks so much for your question, and I

568
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: to have this all going on. So let's talk about

569
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: movies anywhere. This is a really new, interesting thing that

570
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: just launched, and it is phenomenal. I am very impressed

571
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: that Hollywood is doing something and I'm not trying to

572
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: be negative here, but I'm just kind of impressed that

573
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 1: Hollywood's doing something that's good for the consumer. Because this

574
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: is something that I've wanted for a really long time,

575
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: something that I've thought about for a long time, and

576
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: it's actually happening. And so it's called Movies Anywhere. It's

577
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: a new app, it's basically a new service, not just

578
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: an app. So you sign up, You go to Movies

579
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: Anywhere dot Com. You sign up, and what happens is,

580
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: you know how you've bought all these movies all over

581
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: the place, like you know, on iTunes, on Amazon, on Voodoo, Disney, wherever.

582
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: Google maybe have a movie or two on there. The

583
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: reality is it's been a pain in the neck to

584
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: manage all these digital movies because the problem is they

585
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: don't play everywhere. So if you buy a movie on iTunes,

586
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: it may not play on Amazon. And if you buy

587
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: a movie on Amazon, it doesn't play on your Apple

588
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: TV as of right now, as I say this, because

589
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: I know that the Amazon Video app is coming out

590
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: for Apple TV. So eventually it happened. But the reality

591
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: is this is all new and this is amazing. So

592
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: what you do is you sign up for this account,

593
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: Movies Anywhere, and then you go in and you link

594
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: all of your other accounts, So you link your Amazon

595
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: Video account, you link your Google Play account, you link

596
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: your iTunes account and you link your Voodoo account and

597
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: your Disney Anywhere account. Next thing, you know, all of

598
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: your video libraries are the same everywhere. How amazing is that?

599
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: So all of your videos are synced across every library.

600
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: So let's say you buy a movie on Amazon, Boom,

601
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: it shows up on your iPad in your iTunes account.

602
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Let's say you buy a movie on Voodoo, Bam, it

603
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: shows up on your Google Play library on your phone.

604
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing, and it works with all the movies that

605
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: you have, or most of them. So they've got a

606
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: bunch of studios on board. They've got five studios on board,

607
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: which is a majority of them. So they've got Sony

608
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Pictures Entertainment, Walt Disney Company, which is Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm,

609
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: Just Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar Kids, Twentieth Century Fox which

610
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: is all those movies, Universal, and Warner Brothers. So who's

611
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: missing missing is Lionsgate and also Paramount. So those are

612
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: the two holdouts. And if I was Lionsgate in Paramount,

613
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: I would get on board with this right now because

614
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: guess what this is how people are gonna You're not

615
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: gonna I mean, you're gonna be less apt to buy

616
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: a movie from Lionsgate or Paramount digitally because you know

617
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: that it's not gonna work everywhere and all the rest

618
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: are So they got to get on board. The other thing,

619
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: the other place or thing or whatever you want to

620
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: call it that's not on board is Microsoft. Now. Microsoft

621
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: in the past has been very stubborn with stuff like this.

622
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna stubborn anymore. I think it's

623
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: just a matter of time before they get on board.

624
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: But basically, any movies that you purchased on Windows right

625
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: now don't work with this, and vice versa. So there's

626
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of movies, not every movie, but a bunch.

627
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: If you sign up for this, they're gonna give you

628
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: up to five movies for First, if you activate your account,

629
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna give you two movies, basically Ghostbusters and Ice Age.

630
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: And then if you connect a bunch of your accounts,

631
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: so in one more account, you're gonna get three more

632
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: movies for free, Big Hero six, Jason Bourne, and the

633
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: Lego movie, which my kid loves, so we already have that.

634
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: So actually, out of all these movies, let's see, I

635
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: already had Ice Age. I already had Lego Movie, and

636
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: I already had Big Hero six. Oh no, that was

637
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I didn't own that, So I got four

638
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: movies for free, which is kind of cool. Does it

639
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: support four K? No, the app doesn't right now, but

640
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: it will support four K movies, so when you watch

641
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: them on your screen, like through your native four K

642
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: like an Amazon or an Apple TV, it will work

643
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: in four K. But basically you can now watch your

644
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: movies anywhere on any device, Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, Chrome, Cast, iPhone, iPad, iPad, Touch, Roku,

645
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: web browsers. I mean, it's really amazing that they've pretty

646
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: much gotten everything, which is just unbelievable. This is so

647
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: unprecedented and it's so weird because usually, uh, these companies

648
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: are kind of out to get us in a different way.

649
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: And this basically makes me want to buy movies digitally

650
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: now because I'm like, all right, good, I can watch

651
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: them on all my devices. And the neat thing is

652
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to change the way you do things.

653
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: That's what's really cool about this. Once you sign up,

654
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: you really don't have to go back to movies anywhere. Now.

655
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: You can just keep using iTunes the way you normally do,

656
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: and if you ever want to switch over to Android

657
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: or Amazon, you can and it just works. So there

658
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: you have it all right, Let's take a phone call

659
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: three one zero five nine four three zero zero three

660
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: three one zero five to nine four three zero zero

661
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: three six six one. You are on with Rich? Who's this?

662
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 6: Hey?

663
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: Rich Squigg from Antelope Valley?

664
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: Greg, how's it going? Is my picture all gone? Or

665
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: what is still working? I don't know what happened when

666
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I took the live call or when I took the

667
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: live person Uh, it really everything took a nose dive

668
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: with the with the video quality. I don't know what happened.

669
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, Greg, what's going on?

670
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: I was quandering, are there any issues with the iPhone

671
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: as as far as the because I've noticed a brill

672
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: kind of drop off in when I'm talking on the

673
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: phone and I can barely hear the collar.

674
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh interesting my hearing. No, here's what I think happened.

675
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that the ear piece is clogged, because think

676
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: about it, it's against your ear and it can pick

677
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: up some debris. So what I would do is I

678
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: would actually get a canned air. I have mine. Oh yeah, right,

679
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: here canned air, and I would just go ahead and

680
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: give that thing a little blast. Now, be careful because

681
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to just you don't want to ruin

682
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: your phone. But I would go in there maybe with

683
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: a Q tip. You can put a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny,

684
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: tiny bit of rubbing alcohol in there if you want

685
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: to kind of clean things. But this is actually a

686
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: great question in general with iPhone because a lot of

687
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: times people will say, my phone's not charging or the

688
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: audio is not work work, And what happens is the

689
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: little connector on the bottom of the iPhone gets some

690
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: lint in it from your pocket, or you know, the

691
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: ear piece collects lint from your pocket and it gets

692
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: stuck in that little grill there. So that's what I

693
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: think is happening with your phone. I would give it

694
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: a little clean out and see if that helps. But

695
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: in general, you don't want to use too many liquids

696
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: on your phone. But a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol,

697
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: just literally just a tiny dap might just help to

698
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: get that cleaned out and just kind of give that

699
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: a nice cleaning and see what happens. If that doesn't work,

700
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: I would do a reset on your phone. See if

701
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: that helps. Do your software update, obviously, and if none

702
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: of that happened, if none of that helps, and I

703
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: would bring it into the Apple Store and see what

704
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: they have to say about that. But generally, I think

705
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna I guarant you know. It's funny. We have

706
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: these little earpieces at work, like these little headphones microphones

707
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: that we use, and sometimes all of a sudden they

708
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: stop working and it's like, well they're clogged, they're no longer,

709
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: They've just collected a lot of debris. You put them

710
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: in your pocket, you put them in your ear. So

711
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: it happens, and you just have to be aware of it.

712
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: So good question, Greg, Thanks so much for asking. All Right,

713
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take more of your calls and end the

714

Speaker 1: on TV and listening to this podcast. It's been a

723
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: fun show. It's been a great first rebirth of the show.

724
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: So hopefully I did everything right and it all worked out.

725
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: Let's call, let's take one more question before we go here.

726
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: Three one? Oho? Oh hang on, let me stop that. Okay?

727
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 5: Three?

728
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh you are on with Rich? Who am I speaking with?

729
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 7: Hey? Rich is Darlene. I'm sorry I messed you up?

730
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: Oh, hey, Darlene, what's going on?

731
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 7: Oh? Not much. I wanted to ask you. I updated

732
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 7: my iPhone to the IOF eleven. Okay, and now my

733
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 7: songs don't play when someone calls me.

734
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 1: Ooh, your songs don't play? Okay, it sounds like something.

735
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: Are there are the songs still on the phone.

736
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 7: Yes, and there's still a sign to my specific people.

737
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: Oh, they're still a sign.

738
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 7: Oh play. It's just just a generic ring tone thing.

739
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Interesting. I have not encountered that problem because I don't

740
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: actually have special ring tones for people, So I'm not

741
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: sure why that's happening. So, so, you you had everything

742
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: set up, it worked, and then you updated to iOS

743
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: eleven and it just stopped working. Right, But you're saying that.

744
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 7: I've checked and other people have had this problem too.

745
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so other people, Okay, now, are you updated to iOS?

746
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: They came out with a new one like yesterday or

747
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: the day before. It was likeo point three. I think

748
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: have you updated to that one? So I believe so well,

749
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: it sounds like they have an issue. This sounds like

750
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: a bug. And I will email my friends at Apple

751
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: and tell them about it, because I'm sure they know.

752
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have a million and one bugs. I'm

753
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: sure they're more concerned about the launch of iPhone ten

754
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: in like two weeks, so I'm sure they're like, uh,

755
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: we need to fix that before we fix the ringtone issue.

756
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: But it's it's definitely that's an odd issue. And I'm

757
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: trying to think if they changed anything with audio. No,

758
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: they didn't change anything with audio. Yeah, that's a that's

759
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: a weird one. And so the weird part to me

760
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: is that you're selecting the song and it's a signed

761
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: to a person, but when it rings, it doesn't actually play.

762
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: It plays something else.

763
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, right, they're generic, like you know, ring tone.

764
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: That definitely sounds like a bug. So I'm gonna I

765
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: will email my friends and uh, now you know, believe me,

766
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna They're not gonna like respond immediately. They're probably

767
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna be like, yeah, we know about this, Rich so

768
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: but for sure, but for sure, that's definitely frustrating. So

769
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: thanks all. I got to talk to you twice today.

770
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. And I don't know what happened with you.

771
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: We tried to bring you on live earlier and it

772
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: was just kind of it garbled my screen. So maybe

773
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't have enough bandwidth for other live video on.

774
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: Let's see email through my Facebook page, Facebook dot com

775
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 1: slash rich on tech Jill wrote me and she said,

776
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: Roku or Firestick. I would like to ask you which

777
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: one is better, Roku or Firestick. Well, that's a tough one.

778
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: You know. I like Firestick slightly better. I like Amazon

779
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: fireTV in general, just because I like the interface a

780
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: little bit better. What I like about Roku is that

781
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: you have a universal search that's really good, and it's

782
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: also sort of platform agnostic. And what do I mean

783
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: by that is that they don't Roku just wants to

784
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: have everything all at once. They don't really care. They

785
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: don't really like if you go on an Amazon fireTV.

786
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: It's very much, very much slanted towards Amazon content, which

787
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: kind of gets annoying sometimes, whereas Roku they just kind

788
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: of feature stuff from all from all over the place.

789
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: So I think the Roku interface is just a little

790
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 1: bit outdated, but they have updated it recently, so maybe

791
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: that'll be better. Fire TV, I feel like they do

792
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of work in kind of keeping that up

793
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: to date, and I love the interface. It just looks nice.

794
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: When it comes to apps, I think right now what

795
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: you see happening with the apps is that a lot

796
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: of them come out on Apple TV and fire first

797
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: and then Roku or Roku kind of at the same time.

798
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: But I think you'll be happy with either, I really do.

799
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: I think it really comes down to are you a

800
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: big Amazon Prime person? And if you are, then I

801
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: think go with the fire Stick. If not, you can

802
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: still get Prime content on the other one. But if

803
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: you watch a lot of Amazon Prime stuff, you know,

804
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: go with the fire Stick. If not, just go with

805
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: the Roku, and I think you'll be pretty happy with that.

806
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: They just came out with a ton of new Roku devices,

807
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: including one called Express Classic, which is really crazy because

808
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: or I said, called Express Classic. Let's see Roku Express.

809
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: I think it's Express Plus rather it connects to classic TV,

810
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: so it's exclusively at Walmart and it's forty bucks, and

811
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: it has the old school connectors, so you can actually

812
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: connect this, this smart streaming device to a stupid TV,

813
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: like an old school TV, a tube TV, because it

814
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: uses the composite connectors, which are you know, the old

815
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: school you remember these they're red, white and yellow, not HDMI,

816
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: so it works with HDMI too, but it's you know,

817
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: if you have an old TV and you just want

818
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: to use it with a Roku. It's kind of funny.

819
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Actually would probably freak out your friends if you actually

820
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: bought one of those. All right, rapid fire segment. We're

821
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna take questions from the chat room. So if you

822
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: guys have a question for me, you can go ahead

823
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: and write it in the chat on Facebook Live and

824
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: I will answer those in a rapid fire method. So

825
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: I know it's a little delayed from when I talk

826
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: here to when you guys actually see it, so it

827
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: will take a moment for this to happen, so in

828
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: the meantime, I will tell you this. You can find

829
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: me on Facebook, Facebook, dot com, slash rich on Tech,

830
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: Twitter at rich Demiro, and Instagram at rich on tech Instagram.

831
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: I have a lot of fun with because I do

832
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot of stupid stuff on there, Like on my

833
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: Instagram stories, they can disappear, and they disappear in twenty

834
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: four hours, so I really don't care. So you'll see me.

835
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: Like last night I shared what was I what I

836
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: was making for dinner, some pasta dish, and you know,

837
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a food person, Like I'm not a foodie.

838
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm definitely not a foodie. But anyway, all right,

839
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: Linda in the comments says, what about iPhone eight? iPhone

840
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: eight is fantastic, so there's nothing wrong with it. In fact,

841
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I at this point am recommending iPhone eight over the

842
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: iPhone ten. I think it's a better value for more

843
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: most people. iPhone ten the advantages that you basically get

844
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: a big screen that takes up the entire front of

845
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: the phone the disadvantage, and you get a better camera,

846
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: slightly better camera but not much, just slightly. And the

847
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: second thing that you get is no home button, which

848
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: I don't like. So yeah, I recommend the iPhone eight.

849
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: I think that's good. Lisa says, love my Roku. I

850
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: had a fire stick. They don't have CBS All Access

851
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: on there. I love my soaps and CBS. I thought

852
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: Fires does have CBS all Access? Uh does Amazon? Uh

853
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: CBS all Access? I thought they did. Maybe maybe that

854
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: was back in the day. Yeah, okay, yeah it's on there,

855
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Uh, yeah it's on there now.

856
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: So best app for iPhone? Best app for iPhone? Man?

857
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: What what's my favorite? My iPhone's in use right now,

858
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: so I'm trying to look at think of my home screen. Man,

859
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: what's the best. There's so many good apps. There's so

860
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: many good apps for iPhone, all of them. I mean, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Uh.

861
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 1: Just got a new seventeen inch MacBook Pro. How should

862
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: I care for the battery? I heard you shouldn't rain

863
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: it all the way too often. I think you'll be okay,

864
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, I just do whatever I want with my batteries.

865
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: My last MacBook lasted me four years. I did not

866
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: put a second thought into the battery and so h

867
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: and it still works great. I actually gifted it to

868
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: my dad when I got my new one, and now

869
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna enjoy it. And the battery lasts just fine.

870
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: So there you go. Marabell says, what's a good time

871
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: to buy an iPhone. I still own an iPhone five C.

872
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: I want a bargain. Okay, you want to bargain on

873
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: your iPhone, Well, the best time to buy is really

874
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: when the new ones come out because they drop the

875
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: price of the old ones by one hundred bucks. But

876
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: the reality is what you really want to do is

877
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: look for those deals from the carriers. So the carriers

878
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: often have deals on iPhones where they will give you.

879
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: What you want to look for is when you can

880
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: trade in your phone and get more than that phone

881
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: is worth. That's the best way to do it. Jim says,

882
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: what do you think of ways traffic reports? You know,

883
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: it's funny. I'm actually not a fan of ways. I

884
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: don't use ways. I don't like being bopped around. I'm

885
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: just the kind of I will just set it and

886
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: forget it, so I will just take the road. I

887
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: will take the freeway. I'm a very easy driver, and

888
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,479
Speaker 1: I just I don't really need to be taking left

889
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: turns randomly through neighborhoods. So I don't really use ways.

890
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I've tried it. I took it on a you know,

891
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: I want to do my due diligence. When it came

892
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: to Android auto I tested it out. I was driving

893
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: up to Santa Barbara and it was just crazy. It

894
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: was like every five minutes it was like something's happening

895
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road. There's debris police on

896
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: the right side camera there, and I'm like, oh, I mean, uh,

897
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there was so much going on. I'm

898
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: just driving, let me drive. So I ended up switching

899
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: back to my Google Maps. I actually, I don't even

900
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: want to admit this, but these days I've actually been

901
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: really digging Apple Maps. I know it's only when I

902
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: use my iPhone, but I actually think at this point

903
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: Apple Maps is cleaner looking and feeling than Google Maps,

904
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: and it's actually quite good. I know for a while

905
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: Apple Maps was terrible, but it's not that way anymore.

906
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: So it's I would give it another chance. If you

907
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: haven't used it in a while, try it out. But

908
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: I've been very impressed. In fact, now when I go

909
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: back to Google Maps, I'm like, oh, I kind of

910
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: like the look of Apple Maps, and they do have

911
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: some really nice features on there too. All right, thanks
