1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Your view of the sky. You have a connection to

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the Internet and this right now. A lot of this

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: is free, but of course the carriers are gonna make

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: and the satellite companies are gonna make a lot of

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: money on this. One estimate has this expected to reach

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: sixteen point eight billion dollars by twenty twenty eight. This

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: is called direct to satellite services. Now, this is very

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: different from what we used to have. You might be thinking, rich,

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: We've had satellite phones forever. Those had a giant antenna

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: and the satellites were slow with connectivity. This is brand new.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Now you can use the smartphone you already have to

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: connect to a satellite. This is called direct to sell

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of smartphones already support this.

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: So let's go through the list.

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Team Mobile and Starlink they are definitely ahead of everyone else.

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: They launched their public beta during the Super Bowl, so

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: pretty much anyone can sign up for this, no matter

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: what carrier you have. You do not have to be

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: a Team Mobile customer. I signed up and I'm still

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: in the waiting list and they're rolling out the access

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: to this. So this works on T Mobile spectrum they

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: already have, which means a lot of the smartphones that

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: are in people's pockets will work with this service. We're

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: talking iPhone fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, Google Pixel nine, a bunch

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: of the Motorolas from twenty twenty four and later, a

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: bunch of the Samsungs, the A series, the S series,

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the Z series when it comes to the popular Samsungs

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: all the way back to the S twenty one edition,

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and then of course some of T Mobile's own phones. Now,

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: this will also support wireless emergency alerts, which means even

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: if you're in an area with no cell signal, you'll

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: still get those critical updates. Right now, they're just supporting

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: text messaging, but in the future you're gonna be able

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: to do voice, data and picture messaging through this. Now,

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: this is free through July twenty twenty five, So if

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: you want to try this out and you've got a

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: smartphone that works with it, go for it. You don't

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: need to switch services, you'll just add this to your

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: cell phone through an eSIM. Basically, this will be included

40
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: eventually for T Mobiles top of the line customers if

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: you're on the Go five G Next plan, but fifteen

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: dollars a month for other T Mobile customers. Twenty dollars

43
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: a month if you're not a T Mobile customer. And

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: this is the first time that we've seen pricing on

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: a satellite service on the smartphone. So Apple has had

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: satellite texting on their iPhone since the iPhone fourteen, but

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: we never got a price tag. At first, they said

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: it was going to be free for two years, and

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: they later extended that to three years, so we never

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: really had a price tag. How do you put a

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: price tag on such a critical service. Well, now we

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: have it, So fifteen dollars a month for T Mobile

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: users that are not on that top of the line plan,

54
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month for non T Mobile users. So

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: what is AT and T doing. They're partnering with a

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: company called AST Space Mobile, and I would say they're

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: probably the furthest behind on this whole satellite texting and

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: their idea is to focus on remote areas and also

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: their first response under network. So they've got this AT

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: and T first Net Emergency network, which kind of prioritizes

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: emergency communications when there is an issue, and so people

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: like you know, firefighters and police officers can get their

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: calls and texts prioritized when there's an issue on the network,

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and we saw that of course recently with all of

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: the hurricanes in the Carolinas and in Florida and also

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the wildfires here in southern California. They have not announced

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: any pricing or even a launch date, but they are

68
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: obviously doing this now. Verizon, like I said, they had

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the commercial during the Super Bowl. You saw Buzz Aldrin

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: on it. Also, they brought back their the test network guy.

71
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: He's an actor, Paul Marcarelli, So they brought him back.

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Remember he was the big Verizon guy. He was in

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: all those commercials and then all of a sudden they

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: dropped him, and then he went to Sprint and he

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: started doing Sprint commercials. And now of course you don't

76
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: even have Sprint. They were purchased by T Mobile, and

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: now he's back to Verizon. So anyway, it was kind

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: of fun to see him back in the commercial, but

79
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: he was.

80
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: The can you hear me now?

81
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 3: Guy?

82
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: But Verizon's taking a slightly different approach like T Mobile

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: is like basically, hey, wherever you are, you're going to

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 1: be covered. Verizon saying, look, we're going to cover areas

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: without coverage, so dead zones, that's what we're focusing on

86
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: first and we know Verizon's got a great network in general,

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: so they're saying, look, we're just going to kind of

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: patch the areas for now that are dead zones so

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: that we have coverage everywhere. Whether it's cellular, traditional or satellite,

90
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: you're going to be covered on Verizon. And they've said

91
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: they've invested one hundred million dollars in this ast space mobile.

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: So there they are.

93
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Now, Amazon, as I've mentioned before on this show, they

94
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: are launching their rival to Starlink. It's called Project Kuiper.

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: They're launching three thousand satellites eventually, and this year they've

96
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: got i think they said eighty three launches expected, and

97
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: they're going to launch their service by the end of

98
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the year. Now when we say end of the that

99
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: could be like December of twenty twenty five. But again,

100
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: this is going to be more competition, and they are

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: saying that their service is going to be cheaper and

102
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: faster than Starlink. So we'll see what happens there. But

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: the good news is for consumers, we're going to have

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: more options now. Like I mentioned, there already is satellite

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: texting on the iPhone. They launched emergency SOS via satellite

106
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: With the iPhone fourteen, Apple partnering with a company called

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: global Star. And if you're keeping track, yes, there's a

108
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: lot of different companies that are in this right. I've

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Skylow, I've mentioned Space Mobile, I've launched global Star,

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: I've mentioned Amazon, I've mentioned Starlink. So there's a lot

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: of companies that are in this game. But with Apple,

112
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: you have to aim your iPhone at a satellite in

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: the sky, and this is very much different than Starlink,

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: which kind of works in your pocket. So with iOS eighteen,

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: recently they expanded the emergency SOS to work with regular texting,

116
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: so you can just text friends and family over I message.

117
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: And again they have not put a price. They've included

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: this in the price of the iPhone for going on

119
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: three years now, and they have not said what the

120
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: price is going to be.

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: Now.

122
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: Samsung just had a brand new phone come out, the

123
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: S twenty five, and this does have support for satellite messaging,

124
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: but Samsung is not teaming up with anyone. They're just

125
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: letting the carriers handle it. So already Verizon said they

126
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: will support it. Obviously, Tea Mobile can support it through

127
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: Starlink and whatever AT and T eventually does that will

128
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: be supported as well Google Pixel if you've got a

129
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: recent model Pixel Pixel nine has satellite sos and the

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: way they're doing it is again just for emergencies you need.

131
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: When you have an emergency at dial nine one one,

132
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: it'll put you through a safety questionnaire to get you

133
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: the help you need. And they said it was going

134
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: to be free for the first two years, very similar

135
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: to Apple, but again that's limited to just emergency use.

136
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: So where does this lead us?

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: Apple?

138
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: So far they've had emergency satellite texting in general texting

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: on their phones for a couple of years. Samsung leaving

140
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: it up to the bars. Google has got it, but

141
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: nothing full just yet. But I think in general, all

142
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: this connectivity is a good thing for consumers. We're going

143
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: to see faster speeds, wider coverage areas, and you'll be

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: able to have a signal and be able to connect

145
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: with people no matter where you are. The downside of

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: all of this a lot of satellites in our sky,

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: So this requires thousands of satellites and like I just mentioned,

148
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: there are so many companies doing this, So what about

149
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: collisions between these satellites. You think one of these things

150
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: might malfunction, space junk, light, pollution and regulations. Who's keeping

151
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: track of all these satellites in the sky right now?

152
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: It's a free for all. So we've got a lot

153
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: going on with satellite messaging. But the good news is

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: for us, it means your text is always going to

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: go through eight eight eight rich one oh one eight

156
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: eight eight seven four to two four one zero one.

157
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: This is rich on Tech.

158

Speaker 1: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

159

Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at Triple A rich one

160
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,960

161
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: one zero one. The website for the show rich on

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Tech dot TV. While you're there, be sure to look

Speaker 1: up for it. It'll be in your inbox every week.

165
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Uh talk about all the cool stuff that I talk

166
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: about in this show, but in newsletter format. Uh this week. Uh,

167
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: let's see Apple TV. Man, I can't believe this. The

168
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Apple TV app is now available on Android devices. When

169
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: I heard this news, my jaw just about dropped. So

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Apple TV is you know, it's It's been around on

171
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: different devices other than just Apple devices, like on some

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: smart TVs. But this is the first time they've ever

173
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: had this app for Android phones. So now you can

174
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: download Apple TV app on Android smartphones and tablets. And

175
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the whole point of this is really to give you

176
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: access to Apple TV Plus and MLS Season Pass, which

177
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: is soccer through you know, the Android phone. So Netflix

178
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: is everywhere. All these other streaming services are pretty much

179
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: on every platform. Apple was the last holdout. They're like,

180
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: now we just want the iPhone and iOS devices and

181
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: Apple devices, but when you want the viewers, you got

182
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: to put these things where the viewers are. And there

183
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: are millions of Android users out there. So Apple designed

184
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: this app from the ground up to work on Android.

185
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: And if you've searched for it before and you've been

186
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: frustrated because you can't watch Apple TV Plus programming like

187
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, Ted Lasso and Severance, They've got this new

188
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: movie The Gorge. Now you can do that all on

189
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: your Android smartphone. So again this the downside of this

190
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: app is that it does not give you access to

191
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: your iTunes library. So don't think because you have this app,

192
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: you can now access all of the movies and TV

193
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: shows that you've either rented or purchased in the past.

194
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: This is just for streaming at this point of Apple

195
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: TV Plus and MLS, you can also download those for

196
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: offline viewing, like if you're on a plane or something

197
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: like that. But again, you will not get access to

198
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: your library of iTunes content. Maybe that's coming in the future.

199
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: Apple would not say, but you know, hopefully they will.

200
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: I think that would be a smart way to do it.

201
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Let's see. The other thing is they're fully embracing Android,

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: so you can actually subscribe to Apple TV Plus or

203
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: the MLS Season Pass directly through Google Play. So that

204
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: was another surprise because I think, I think with Apple Music,

205
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: because they do have another app for Android, Apple Music,

206
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: but I don't think you can subscribe directly through Google Play.

207
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: But I have an Apple Music account already, so I

208
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: just download it and there. It is also no casting,

209
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: so if you want to cast your videos from your

210
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: phone to a TV screen, that is not available through

211
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: this app right now. But kind of a big deal.

212
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean literally, to sit through a meeting and hear

213
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Apple even say Android by not like kind of knocking it,

214
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: because usually they've said Android in the past and their keynotes,

215
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: but it's always mocking it. But to have them say like,

216
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: here it is we have an app for Android. I

217
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: was just like, what that is so wild to have,

218
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: like to imagine like Apple engineers just sitting there like

219
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: having to create an Android app. It probably kills him.

220
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to Alison in Newport Beach. Allison, you're on

221
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: with Rich.

222
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: Hey, Rich, I hope you can help me out. I

223
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: here in Newport Beach. I run a small children's cooking

224
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: business out of my home, and I've got this cute

225
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: little Instagram I've built up over seven years, and I

226
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: own my own IP so I owned my trademark, I

227
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: owned my images of what I post, and recently I

228
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: just had something that got posted and taken down and

229
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: I reposted it, not really thinking anything bad would happen

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: because it was taking a while for Apple to get

231
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 4: back to us. And then my account is now completely disabled,

232
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 4: permanently deleted, And despite my attempts to work with the

233
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: AI chatbots and send them all of my patents for

234
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: the US Patent Office, I'm getting nowhere.

235
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 5: And I'm just.

236
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: Wondering if there's anything you can suggest I can do

237
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: to get human eyes on this, because it was obviously

238
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: an error that this happened, and I'm just kind of

239
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: devastated that all these beautiful memories of these kids cooking

240
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: with me are now just completely deleted.

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Well that's unfortunate, but yes, this can happen on these

242
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: services because they do use a healthy dose of AI

243
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: to help them kind of screen things and go through

244
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: the posts. Now, I had my account taken down randomly.

245
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: I logged in one day and I've never posted anything bad,

246
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: and they said copyright infringement. We're taking this down and

247
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: in ninety days, we're deleting your account completely. So how

248
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: did your account get deleted completely? Did you cause you

249
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: reposted the same content or did they give you those

250
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: ninety days because usually they have someone review it.

251
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 6: They didn't give me the ninety days.

252
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: This happened about two weeks ago, And what I did

253
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: was I thought that perhaps maybe the that set up

254
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: my marketing, maybe one of the image logos I was

255
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: using for like like a little insignia of.

256
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 7: Like a whisk and a spoon or.

257
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: Something, maybe that I didn't purchase the rights to that

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: and I didn't know, So I took that off and

259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: tried to replace it with another just stock image through

260
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: pick monkey, and I reposted it thinking I was correcting

261
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 4: the issue and it was like strike three year out

262
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: and they just permanently deleted my account. And I've I've

263
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: sent an email to them twice and they just said, no,

264
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: you're you're, you have violated our intellectual property. And I

265
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: don't know if it's because they don't understand that I away.

266
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

267
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: So well, I think you're gonna have to keep appealing

268
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to them. You've got to go on their website and appeal.

269
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: The only other thing you can do is maybe go

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: to the verified program and see if you can pay

271
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: for that, and that will help someone get to uh,

272
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, get a human looking at this account. Hang

273
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: on the line. I'm going to give you a link

274
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: that's important here.

275
00:13:58,720 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: Thank you.

276
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 8: Welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here talking

277
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 8: technology with you. If you love to travel, you've probably

278
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 8: visited the pointsguide dot com. I first interviewed founder Brian

279
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 8: Kelly about ten years ago, just after he started it.

280
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 8: Now he's back to share some tech travel hacks from

281
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 8: his new book, How to Win It Travel.

282
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 9: I started the Points Guy in twenty ten. It was

283
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 9: just a fun side blog to help my friends and

284
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 9: family members get the most value out of their points

285
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 9: because I could not believe no one knew how to

286
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 9: use Frekamplyer miles. So started as a fun little blog

287
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 9: that just sort of blew up.

288
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: How have points been to you? Where have you gone?

289
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: Where haven't I gone? I mean points can take you anywhere.

290
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 9: And for me and what I want to let people know,

291
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 9: points are like an insurance policy when you have points.

292
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 9: When the airline cancels your flight and you see a

293
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 9: two hour line to speak to an agent, I don't

294
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 9: wait in that line. I booked my next flight with Points.

295
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 9: I'll handle the refund with the airline later. It's a

296
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 9: mentality like being good about your points is harnessing your

297
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 9: financial strength and just having the flexibility to go anywhere.

298
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 9: And I've been some admit I love South Africa. That's

299
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 9: one of my favorite places to visit on points.

300
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Tell me about the book How to Win at Travel?

301
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: What inspired you to write this?

302
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 9: What inspired me to write this was, you know, every

303
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 9: dinner party I went to, people were like, Oh, you're

304
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 9: the points guy. Let me just capitalize on you for

305
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 9: the whole And I'm teaching people from scratch over and over.

306
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 9: So even after fifteen years of having this website. Now

307
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 9: we have you know, fifty plus writers covering everything in travel.

308
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: It's almost overwhelming. There's too much information on the.

309
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 9: Internet, and the information changes, so what you're reading from

310
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 9: five years ago may not be accurate. This book is

311
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 9: an accurate representation of the travel landscape. I give tips

312
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 9: not just on points and credit cards, but you know

313
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 9: where to book your flights. That makes a huge difference

314
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 9: these days, because when an airline cancels your flight, if

315
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 9: you book through an online travel agency, you may not

316
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 9: be able to get home that night.

317
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,479
Speaker 3: And that's what people don't realize.

318
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 9: Here's how to book in the most efficient way, to

319
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 9: get the cheapest rates and protect yourself. I have a

320
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 9: whole chapter when things go wrong, because I see far

321
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 9: too many people melting down in the airport screaming at

322
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 9: the agents, and that couldn't be a worse.

323
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: Way to deal with it.

324
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 9: I teach people how to be strategic and have fun too.

325
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 9: There's even a fear of flying chapter, which millions of

326
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 9: people globally and growing have a fear of flying, so

327
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 9: it's really a resource. I think everyone wants to travel,

328
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 9: but no one really teaches you how. I think this

329
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 9: book will teach even the most beginner traveler how to

330
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 9: handle themselves and thrive and travel because it should be fun.

331
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: On the note about the fear of flying, we've had

332
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: a couple of notable airline accidents and incidents in the

333
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: past couple of years. What do you make of that?

334
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: Do you feel like flying is still safe? In What's

335
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: your advice to you?

336
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: I talk about this in the book.

337
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 9: I think the statistic is you really have to fly

338
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 9: every single day for one hundred and three thousand years

339
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 9: to have a statistical high relevant chance.

340
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: Of dying on a plane crash.

341
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 9: It is extraordinarily safe, and certainly especially the incident in DC,

342
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 9: which we're still waiting to hear exactly what happened. Things

343
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 9: will always go wrong, but it's hard to put into

344
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 9: words how safe air travel is. I have zero qualms

345
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 9: flying on any aircraft globally, but especially within the US.

346
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 9: You know, it had been sixteen years before the last

347
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 9: real fatal crash, so flying is still safe, and after

348
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 9: each incident, I am sure that we will learn from it.

349
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 9: So I tell people you're the most dangerous part of

350
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 9: your journey is getting to the airport.

351
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: By far.

352
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the tools that you like

353
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: to have to you know on your phone, like what

354
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: should travelers have apps wise and resource wise?

355
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, so for cheap flights, and I wish I could

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 9: say Tuesdays at four pm is the cheapest flight day.

357
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 9: Everyone go get It's not like that anymore. You have

358
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 9: to use technology Google Flights. I cannot stress. You have

359
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 9: to learn how to use Google Flights to find cheap flights.

360
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 9: There's a tool called Explore and what this will let

361
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 9: you do, say, your flexibility is how you get the

362
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 9: cheapest deals.

363
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 3: So if you're in LA.

364
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 9: And you want to go to Hawaii, don't put in

365
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 9: one island and check island by island. You can just

366
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 9: put in La to Hawaii specific dates a week in March,

367
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 9: a week in June, and it'll reverse engineer and show

368
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 9: you all of the cheapest flights. Don't call your friend

369
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 9: and say is this a good deal? When Google Flights

370
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 9: tells you based on their billions of data sets, that's

371
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 9: when you get a good deal. You can even set

372
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 9: alerts if the price drops. And then on the point side,

373
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 9: there's a tool called point dot Me and it's basically

374
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 9: Google Flights, which is for paid tickets. If you have

375
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 9: airline miles, and you have credit card points that transfer

376
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 9: to different airlines, it can be really hard. There's so

377
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 9: many points hoarders out there because they don't know how

378
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 9: to use their points.

379
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: Point dot me will.

380
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 9: Tell you AMX points transfer to air France to fly

381
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 9: LA to Paris and then Paris to Istambul or wherever

382
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 9: you're trying to go. So that's what really does a

383
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 9: lot of the heavy lifting. There's one other seats dot arrow,

384
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 9: which is a more expert tool for frequent flyer miles.

385
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 9: But if your dream is to fly LA to Dubai

386
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 9: on Emirates, which is one of those bucket lists redemptions,

387
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 9: if you search day by day, it's like trying to

388
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 9: find a needle in a haystack. Seats dot arrow will

389
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 9: show you an entire year of a route. You can

390
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 9: sort by first class and you can pick the days

391
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 9: where there's availability. So that's how people in the points

392
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 9: where they're getting outsized value find these amazing airlines. You

393
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 9: can't just hope that they land in your lap. You

394
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 9: need to go on the offense.

395
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: Tell me about hotels, any hacks for getting good deals

396
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: on hotels or using points for hotels.

397
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, so with hotels, you know, once again it's kind

398
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 9: of like air lunch. I try to book directly with

399
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 9: hotels whenever possible because you're going to get loyalty.

400
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: They treat people better who.

401
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 9: Book directly, So when possible, even if you find a

402
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 9: cheaper hotel rate on an online travel agency, call the hotel.

403
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 9: They'll usually match it or give you extra perks because

404
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 9: they don't want to have to pay twenty percent commission

405
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 9: to that online travel agency. And remember you're at the

406
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 9: bottom of the pecking order when you book through an OTA.

407
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 9: Now on the flip side, luxury hotels, if you want

408
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 9: to splurge, don't book direct because luxury travel advisors people

409
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 9: don't realize you should book through a luxury travel advisor

410
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 9: who books a lot of their clients at the hotel

411
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 9: because if anything goes wrong, they can make sure your trip.

412
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 9: They take care of you extra perks Champagne. So for

413
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 9: luxury hotels, you always want to book through a luxury

414
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 9: travel advisor. For you know, standard hotels, book directly with

415
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 9: the hotel and using points. Similarly to point me, there

416
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 9: are now tools. Maximipoint dot com is a great one.

417
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 9: Say you want to go to Alila, big sur on

418
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 9: and use your Hiatt points one of the best redemptions

419
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 9: out there. This tool will let you look or the

420
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 9: Parkhayatt Paris and von Dome all the top properties. You

421
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 9: can now search by calendar date, so the Waldorf Astoria

422
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 9: in Cabo, which is a top points you know redemption.

423
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 9: It can be tough to find, but it will show

424
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 9: you a calendar search month by month. So once again,

425
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 9: pick your when possible. You know, I know, school dates

426
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 9: and everything, but when possible, choose your trip around where

427
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 9: the best availability is.

428
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: That's how you get the most bang for your point.

429
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: That's actually another tool that I like on your website

430
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: is the conversion tool where it says like, here's how

431
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: much the flight is costing in cash, here's how much

432
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: it is in points. So do you have to get

433
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: a certain value for the point for it to be

434
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: worth it? Ye?

435
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 9: For that redemption in general, you know it depends on

436
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 9: the airline. Some airline miles are worth more than others.

437
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 9: But but you know you want to be getting ideally

438
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 9: one and a half cents per point to two cents

439
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 9: in value. And that takes a little bit of math,

440
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 9: but simply put, like a thousand dollars flight, if it

441
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 9: was one hundred thousand points, that's a one cent per

442
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 9: point valuation.

443
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: That's fair.

444
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 9: But if that thousand dollars flight it's fifty thousand points,

445
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 9: that means you're getting two cents per point in value.

446
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: That's where the sweet spot is.

447
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 9: And then the higher you can go, the better you

448
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 9: can get five to ten cents per point by booking

449
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 9: those really amazing what I call sweet Spot awards, which

450
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 9: I talk about in the book International first in business class,

451
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 9: especially to Asia. Those flights are ten fifteen thousand dollars

452
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 9: that sometimes you can get for sixty thousand miles.

453
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 3: So in the book, I'll.

454
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 9: Teach you easy redemptions and then how to become an expert.

455
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 9: And I just be warned, once you start redeeming for

456
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 9: those amazing redemptions, you will be hooked because when you

457
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 9: can fly a ten thousand dollars flight for eighty thousand miles,

458
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 9: that is a rush. And that's why I'm still doing

459
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 9: this after fifteen years.

460
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: Any travel gadgets that you really make your life easier, yeah, Well,

461
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: off the bat, you have to have air tags, even

462
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: if you don't check your luggage.

463
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 9: AirTags are critical and the airlines nowadays are even integrating

464
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 9: with Apple where if they lose your bag, you can

465
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 9: share your air tag status and that can be the

466
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 9: difference between getting your bag before that's seven day cruise.

467
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 9: You know, losing your luggage can really throw a wrench

468
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 9: in your plan. So always knowing where all of your

469
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 9: bags are, even your carry on, because you could get

470
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 9: separated from it. They might make you check it last minute.

471
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 9: So I have an air tag in everything. And also,

472
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 9: you know, noise canceling headphones are an oldie but a goodie.

473
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 9: You will have a crying baby on your flight. I

474
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 9: can guarantee you that at some point. But when you

475
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 9: have your noise canceling headphones and you have your own entertainment,

476
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 9: because the airline entertainment will probably break as well. So

477
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 9: controlling what you can control, your noise, your what you're

478
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 9: able to watch. Bring a good book on a flight,

479
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 9: you know, bring snacks because the airline is always going

480
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 9: to run out. So I just tell people try to

481
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 9: control what you can. You can't control delays or planes breaking.

482
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 9: That's going to happen. But if you've got a great book,

483
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 9: your music, you have to shift your mentality.

484
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: This three hour flight delay.

485
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 9: Well great, I'm gonna have some me time in a lounge,

486
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 9: get a drink and enjoy it. It's all about you,

487
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 9: know your mentality, and I think too many people leave

488
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 9: their homes losing at travel, and in this book, I

489
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 9: want to teach you how to enjoy it even when

490
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 9: things inevitably go left.

491
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: That's Brian Kelly, founder of thepoints Guide dot com.

492
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 8: His new book, How to Win at Travel is out now.

493
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: I'll put a link on my website. Richon Tech dot

494
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: tv coming up.

495
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: More of your calls at Triple A Rich one oh one.

496
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: You are listening to rich on Tech. Welcome back to

497
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging out with you,

498
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: talking technology Triple A Rich one oh one eight eight

499
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: eight seven four to two four one zero one. The

500
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Darklord on X. Looking for some clarification on the satellite

501
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: stuff I was talking about earlier, specifically AST Space Mobile.

502
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: That's the company that's working with AT and T. They

503
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: said that they are not behind starlink. So here's the deal.

504
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: Ast Space Mobile. They have launched their first five satellites

505
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: so far, and their goal is to basically build a

506
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: network that is kind of like a cellular network, but

507
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: in space and so right now they're saying their peak

508
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: speeds will be up to one hundred and twenty megabits

509
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: per second, which is fast, yes, but not as fast

510
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: as some of the other speeds I'm hearing from Starlink

511
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: and also from Project Kuiper, which is going to be

512
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: apparently double what starlink is or faster than starlink.

513
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: But this is the other thing.

514
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: So I said, AT and T invested in them, but

515
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: apparently AT and T, Verizon, Google, Vodafone, and a bunch

516
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: of other mobile carriers worldwide are supporting this company as well,

517
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: so I guess they're one to watch for sure, and

518
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: looks like they're out of Texas perhaps, But yeah, so

519
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: it says AT working with a S T Space Mobile

520
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: to one day offer voice, data, text, and video services

521
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: in remote, off grid locations. So again, this is a

522
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: very competitive field. We're gonna hear a lot about this stuff,

523
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's gonna mean kind of like

524
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: what happened with the the Internet at home, where you

525
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: know it was always delivered to your house via First

526
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: it was phone line, then it was cable and fiber,

527
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: and now you can get it wirelessly wirelessly through the

528
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: five G networks. So again, now we're seeing this start

529
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: to happen with internet from space and of course texting

530
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: from space. So interesting stuff happening. Glad to do the

531
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: clarification for you there the dark Lord. Hope that helps.

532
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: Let's go to.

533
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: Gary and Laguna Nagel Gary, you're on with Rich?

534
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 10: Yeah, Rich, this is kind of an anti tech question.

535
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I know. That's a good way of putting

536
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 10: in the nurser. Okay, the watch I had I was

537
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 10: recommended from a good friend of mine, Bob. Of course

538
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 10: he's a tech kind of guy, and of course he's

539
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 10: an Apple guy, and he knows I'm an Android guy.

540
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 10: And what I got I got was called the Amazed

541
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 10: Fit BP three pro. Yeah, I like, I couldn't stand

542
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 10: them thing. I couldn't stand it?

543
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: Why not?

544
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 10: Well let me tell you why. Okay, I'm an I'm

545
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 10: a wildlife photographer, so I'm out walking the trails sometimes

546
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 10: I get kind of hot and sweating, and what happened

547
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 10: with this thing? And it's just outually drow me nuts.

548
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 10: This thing needed my cell phone on me at all

549
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 10: times to even function. And that's the number one thing

550
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 10: that really bothered me about it. And half the time

551
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 10: I go to look at the time of the watch

552
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 10: and was showing me my heart right. Well, you know what,

553
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 10: I don't want to know my heart right, I want

554
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 10: to know what tim it is. And I mainly got

555
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 10: the thing just to have a pedometer. So maybe you

556
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 10: can recommend a pedometer watch that is I repeat, not

557
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 10: not not tied to a cell phone, well just by itself.

558
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're I mean, look, most people and

559
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: most of these companies, they want a the smart watch.

560
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: You know that that is the that is the marketplace.

561
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: So smart watches are where all of the momentum is behind.

562
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: That's most of what I see. Now, I'm not sure

563
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: your experience with this watch. I mean, you know, I've

564
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: tested the amaze fit devices and I've actually been very

565
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: impressed with them, and they are amaze Fit is sort of,

566
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: you know, a less expensive version of a lot of

567
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: the stuff you see out there. So if you look

568
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: at the bit five kind of looks like an Apple watch.

569
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: But I mean you're talking, the price on this thing

570
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: is a lot cheaper. Let me just check the price

571
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: on Amazon. These things are like me, I think it's

572
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: like under one hundred dollars. Yeah, fifty dollars for this thing.

573
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: So number one, you can't expect the same kind of

574
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: quality you're going to get from a two hundred and

575
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: fifty dollars Apple watch for something that's fifty dollars. And

576
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: I think the big kind of delineator here is the software.

577
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: So the software and these devices, and I actually, again

578
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: I tested almost everything in the Amaze fit lineup, Like

579
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: I tested their high end smart watch, their cheap smart watch,

580
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: their ring and every single one of them. I came

581
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: away thinking like, Wow, these are pretty good for being

582
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: so inexpensive. What's the catch? You know, the catch is

583
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: generally the software. But even with these I thought the

584
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: software or the app I think it's called zep is

585
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: pretty well designed as well. So to answer your question, Gary,

586
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't have a recommendation on a standard standalone pedometer,

587
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: but if you search on you know, I mean Garman

588
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: comes to mind first off, because Garman is kind of

589
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: the leader in fitness tracking, but they've kind of gone

590
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: to the smart watch kind of area connecting to the

591
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: phone with all of their devices. But it looks like

592
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: you could probably use this like a Vivo Active five

593
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: without a smart watch. If you don't want to connect

594
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: it to the smart watch, it looks like it does

595
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: everything on its own. Now this may be too much,

596
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: but this is just a simple watch that does It's

597
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: got a one inch to one point two inch display,

598
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: up to eleven hours of battery life, detailed heart advance fitness.

599
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: You can use the Garment Connect app on your iPhone

600
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: or Android if you want, if you want to download

601
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: your information, but again I don't know if you have to,

602
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: because it looks like it's got everything built in that

603
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: what you want. It's built in NAP detection, heart rate,

604
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: risk based heart rate, so you can have your heart

605
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: rate without your phone. There, stress tracking, UH pulse oxy

606
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: pulse sensor so pulse ox blood, blood oxygen, meditation, mindful breathing, hydration, respiration,

607
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: and then again it's got all the different UH fitness.

608
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: This thing's got a lot. So again, if you don't

609
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: want to use your phone with this, you don't necessarily

610
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: have to. But you said you have an Android phone,

611
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: so I mean it's not gonna hurt to connect it,

612
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, once in a while to get a software

613
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: update or something like that. Now, if you look on Amazon,

614
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: if you type in like Fitness Tracker, no phone needed.

615
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: There are a couple that come up, but again these

616
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: are going to be probably even cheaper, and the quality

617
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: is probably not even going to be as good as

618
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: with the Amaze Fit that you had. The top one

619
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: that comes up is the urans eu R A NS

620
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: and it's a smart watch, no app or phone required,

621
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: fourteen days battery life. But sounds like what you're talking

622
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: about is you just want a standard pedometer. I think

623
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: they used to give those out at like with like

624
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a happy meal. Just put that thing on the side,

625
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: So maybe just look up pedometer. I mean, they they

626
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: do have these things. I mean, here's here's a pedometer,

627
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: three D pedometer for walking fifteen ninety nine.

628
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: Clip it to your side.

629
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: Remember, I mean these were these were what people used

630
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: before they went with the smart watches. But again, most

631
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: of the most of these devices are wanting to connect

632
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: to a smart watch. That doesn't mean they don't. They're

633
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: a pedometer is not there. It's just a lot simpler

634
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: than the smart watches. But and by the way, you

635
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: can use a smart watch without the phone. So I mean,

636
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: I I you know, I've got my Apple Watch on

637
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: right now without my Apple phone, which is you know,

638
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: so basically it's just not connecting back. If I needed

639
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: to make a phone call or get a text, it's

640
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: not going to happen. But you could still use them.

641
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: It's just not the preferred method for using these things

642
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: because most people at this point they want to be connected.

643
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: But I understand that you don't want to be connected, So,

644
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of options out there. I

645
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: think it's going to come down to with this, it's

646
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, do you want to get

647
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: something like a garment. I would probably look there first

648
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: because I think Garman probably has the best overall solution

649
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: with the option to connect it to your phone. But

650
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: then I would kind of look at some of these

651
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: other you know, I call them cheapies on Amazon, and

652
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: just see which one works for you. You know, who

653
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: knows what the accuracy is too. That's the other problem

654
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: of it. Eight eight eight Rich one oh one eight

00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to h Christine and el Segundo. Looks like

672
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: she's got a thought on what we were talking about

673
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: with the smart watches.

674
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 2: Christine, Welcome to the show.

675
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 11: Hi, rich Oh my god, I love you guys. You

676
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 11: guys are all brilliant.

677
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: Oh thank you.

678
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 12: So.

679
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 13: I love the piece you just did. I'm a registered nurse,

680
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 13: but I work in the aerospace industry and there are

681
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 13: a lot of top secret, you know, physicians, and they

682
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 13: can't have those smart watches you were referring to, or

683
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 13: any of the smart devices that transmit information. So your

684
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 13: garment wait, no, the garment does too. So the pedometer

685
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 13: you were talking about, I think is perfect for those

686
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 13: types of jobs.

687
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Oh, so you're saying it your your job. You can't

688
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: have the smart stuff.

689
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 13: Right, Not for me.

690
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 11: I'm I'm a registered nurse in that industry, but I'm

691
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 11: not like top secret, I think you. I'm not top

692
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 11: secret like the engineers are. They're like dealing with spider

693
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 11: jet software and blah blah blah. So that's why they

694
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 11: can't have any of those devices that transmit makes Your

695
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 11: pedometer idea is a great idea. And now they have

696
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 11: more modern pedometers that are not going to like cheat

697
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 11: when you shake.

698
00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: It should always be.

699
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 13: Very competitive when we had our wellness walks and stuff.

700
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 12: So there are good pedometers.

701
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 11: So I'm glad you brought that up.

702
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: What's the what's the what's the most popular one around

703
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: the nurses quarters?

704
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: Is it the Apple Watch or what?

705
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 11: So for hospitals, the Apple Watch is perfect. Apple is good.

706
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 11: And then I have patients that have heart conditions that

707
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 11: are not in top secret, so once again it's also

708
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 11: perfect for them because they're like, oh, my watch triggered

709
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 11: it and I hadn't felt anything. So they come over

710
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 11: and I checked their pulse.

711
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 13: They're apul to their heart.

712
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 11: Pulse with a stethoscope and boom, I find out that

713
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 11: they're having.

714
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 13: A rhythm that's irregular and ultimately saved their life.

715
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 11: So when when for you know.

716
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: Certain cases, that's wild.

717
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: I did a story with a guy who a really

718
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: healthy guy, and he had an Apple Watch and it

719
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: gave him that alert and he went right to the

720
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: hospital and he got a think he said, like a

721
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: stent or what's the thing that keeps your pacemaker in

722
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: his heart?

723
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 11: So, oh my god, do you see?

724
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 13: So his heart rate was probably either very irregular or

725
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 13: extremely slow and and alerted him.

726
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 6: It saved his life.

727
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 11: He needs stuck an app one whatever, But yeah, what happened.

728
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: I think I think he got it.

729
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: Afterwards, Christine, thanks for the call, appreciate it. Let's go

730
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: to Daisy in Homeland, California. Daisy, you're on with rich

731
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh thank you.

732
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 7: Yes, I was wondering if you could recommend some classes

733
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 7: or a direction I can go in. I'm seventy seven

734
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 7: years old and I'm interested in keeping up with the

735
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 7: new technology, and AI is what I'm interested in finding

736
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 7: out about. On TikTok, they're advertising a lot of classes

737
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 7: and things like that, and I just don't know which direction.

738
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 7: But I don't want to be left in the desk.

739
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Okay, Well, there's definitely there's definitely a lot

740
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: of places to go with it when it comes to AI.

741
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: First off, I would start with the AI itself, So

742
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: just get on Chat, e Ebt, get on Gemini, get

743
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: on claud and just start using them. You're not going

744
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: to break anything, and you can ask them like, hey,

745
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: what can you do? What are some things I should try?

746
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of like the first getting into it

747
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: is just just try some of this stuff and then

748
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to get into some of

749
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: the more, you know. I would listen to some podcasts

750
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: about AI. There's a whole bunch of pot if you

751
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: just go on the top tech podcasts. I mean half

752
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: of them are dedicated to AI right now. So I

753
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: would subscribe to one or two of those and listen

754
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: to them because they're going to talk about the ins

755
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: and outs of what these companies are doing, and it

756
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: can kind of the trends that are happening in that world.

757
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: A newsletter that I really like is called Wonder Tools

758
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: wo Nder Wonder Tools put out by a guy named

759
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: Jeremy Kaplan. Believe he's out of New York City and

760
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: He does a great job every week of running down

761
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: some of the great new AI tools out there, and

762
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: so that is a great solution for learning about all

763
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: the AI stuff that's new, and it doesn't he doesn't

764
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: get like some of it's really techy, but some of it,

765
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of it is very consumer oriented.

766
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: So that's another way to do it.

767
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: When it comes to classes, I mean, I don't know

768
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: what they're advertising on TikTok, but you know, I mean

769
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: you can you can look at classes at like your

770
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: local community college and see what's there. If you want

771
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: to go to online classes. I mean, you know, con

772
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: Academy is kind of like a great free source of classes,

773
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: So I would go on there and con Academy is

774
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: k H A N.

775
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: And let's just see.

776
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna search AI and let's see if they

777
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: have any AI classes. Let's see air constant air. It

778
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: comes up with air, so I don't know, maybe that's

779
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: not the best one. Let's see artificial intelligence. Let's see

780
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: if we can do that.

781
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: It's tough to.

782
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: Type and talk at the same time. There we go

783
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence. So talk search artificial intelligence, and that will

784
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: give you a whole bunch of stuff where you can start.

785
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: But con Academy is another one. One of those places

786
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: is where you can get kind of free classes and

787
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: free online learning. So that's a good one, but there's

788
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: just so many. I mean, you know, read up online.

789
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're already ahead of the curve because

790
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: you're on TikTok and you want to learn about this stuff.

791
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: But those are the place I I would stay away

792
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: from paying right now. I mean, unless you're doing community

793
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: college whatever, maybe have to pay a small amount. But

794
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if you necessarily need to pay to

795
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: learn about AI because what it sounds like, unless you're

796
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: trying to get a new job with this, I think

797
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: that you should just you know, try the free stuff first.

798
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 2: Let's see.

799
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: So there's also this interesting there's also a master Class.

800
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that program? So master Class is

801
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: these online classes that basically they have like prominent people

802
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: teach courses and things. They have got two hundred plus classes.

803
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: You can watch them on your computer and things. But

804
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: the problem is you got to pay for that. So

805
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: let's see how much of a standard plan ten dollars

806
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: that's an annual membership. They have ten dollars fifteen dollars

807
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: or twenty dollars, But it looks like you have to

808
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: pay for the whole year in advance. So but you

809
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: know that may be another app you want to pay

810
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: and you want something that's a little bit more like

811
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: a course. But again, I mean YouTube, there's so much

812
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: free content out there. It's just a matter of finding

813
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: something that resonates with you and also deciding, you know,

814
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: kind of what do you want to learn about. But

815
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: I think playing with the with the tools themselves is

816
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: the best way to kind of get acquainted with them,

817
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: see what they can do, and then once you figure

818
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: out what they can do, maybe then you go into

819
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: some of these systems and see what they can do

820
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: to help you out. Great question, Daisy really appreciate it?

821
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 1: Eighty eight rich one oh one eight eight eight seven

822
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: four to two four one zero one. Speaking of TikTok

823
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: it is back. TikTok is back on both the Apple's

824
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: App Store and Google Play officially back. The app disappeared

825
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: in January. We know because of the pending US band

826
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: tied to Byte Dance owning this app. Bite Dance out

827
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: of China. There's been a lot to talk about this.

828
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 1: I've been covering this app now and whether it's gonna

829
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: go away for years, and it just keeps kind of percolating.

830
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: But we did see it go off Google Play and

831
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: the App Store because the company said, okay, we're going

832
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: to enforce this ban, and then President Trump said, now

833
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: it'll be okay, and they said, okay, Well we don't.

834
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: We don't know if we want to believe you just yet,

835
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: because what if it's not okay? And now we get

836
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: sued for all the time that we had this thing

837
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: in our app store. But I guess he's gotten a

838
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: reassurance or these companies have gotten a reassurance from the

839
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: US Attorney General's office and they said, no, it'll be fine.

840
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: You can put them on your app stores until we

841
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: figure out the permanent solution for this. The problem was

842
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: people were finding that if they updated their phone, or

843
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: they got a new phone, or they switched phones, their

844
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: their TikTok app might not have followed through. So I

845
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: got a lot of people saying frantically, hey, Rich, I

846
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: upgraded my phone and my TikTok is no longer here.

847
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what you can do. There's not much

848
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: you could do.

849
00:40:59,280 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: Now.

850
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: I did know for Android, because Android's a little bit

851
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: different than iPhone. Android, you can download apps from anywhere

852
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: and install them on your phone. I don't recommend you

853
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: do that unless you know what you're doing. Got to

854
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit more tech savvy, because you can

855
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: get some malware on your phone. But TikTok did come

856
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: out with what's called the direct download ap case. So

857
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 1: if you went to TikTok dot com, I think it

858
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: was just download.

859
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: Let's see here.

860
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you just went to TikTok dot com slash download,

861
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: you could get the download of the software file. So

862
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: you know how you download software for your computer. On Android,

863
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: you can do that bypassing the app store, and in

864
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: Europe you can do that now, but in the US

865
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: the iPhone is sort of locked down. You have to

866
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: get your apps through Apple's vetted app store, but on

867
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: Android not the case.

868
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: You can.

869
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: It takes a little bit like on the on the

870
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: Samsung device the new one I got. You know, they

871
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: put a lot of procedures in place before you can

872
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: actually download software outside of an app store. So I

873
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: downloaded the TikTok app to my new Samsung S twenty

874
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: five Ultra, and I wanted to see what the process

875
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: was like, and it did give me a couple of

876
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: hoops to jump through, a specifically one through Samsung where

877
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: it said, hey, you've got to change this setting to

878
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: make it so you can download this app. And then

879
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: Google asked if it can scan the app to make

880
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: sure there's no malware on it. But anyways, that's called sideloading,

881
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: and that was an option if you're an Android user,

882
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: of course, but for iPhone there wasn't. But anyway, all

883
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: this is a moot point at this point because it's

884
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: back in the app stores, So if you still want TikTok,

885
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: still using it, I will admit, I mean there's something

886
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: about it. You know, once I downloaded it to quote

887
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: unquote test it out to see if I can get

888
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: out on my phone, you know, I started flipping through it,

889
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: and you know, it gets you hooked.

890
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: It really does.

891
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: Like they just have a way of like all of

892
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: a sudden, they present one video and you flip through

893
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: and if you watch it long enough, they start showing

894
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: other videos just like that. And so the algorithm is good.

895
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: There's no denying that. But again, it's there. I said,

896
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: I was joking with someone at the TV station. I said,

897
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, our productivity ever since TikTok is back, has

898
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: gone back down again because this has a way of

899
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: just sucking you in and just keeping your attention for

900
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: long periods of time. That swipe, It's all about that

901
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: swipe to the next video. Eighty to eight rich one

902
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: O one eight eight eight seven four to two four

903

Speaker 1: one zero one. The website Richontech dot TV.

904
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Coming up.

905
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: We have a new Apple product coming out next week.

906
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we expect that to be right

907
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: here on rich on Tech. Welcome back to rich On Tech.

908
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: Rich Demiro here hanging out with you, talking technology. Phone

909
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: lines are open at eight eight eight rich one oh

910
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight seven four to two four one

911
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: zero one. All right, coming up, we're gonna talk about Apple.

912
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, new product coming this week. So Tim

913
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: Cook teased an Apple product reveal for February nineteenth, that's Wednesday.

914
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: All signs point to the long awaited iPhone S refresh

915
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: so on X. Tim Cook said, the newest member of

916
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: the family will arrive on February nineteenth. Everyone seems to

917
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: think this is the iPhone se this is their budget

918
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: friendly phone model. It was last updated about three years ago,

919
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: so it is time. So I think I talked last

920
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: week on the show what's going to change? But basically

921
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: no more home button. I know a lot of people

922
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: like that on this phone. They got it for that reason.

923
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: But you know they're doing face ID now on everything

924
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: faster chip which will give it AI features and a

925
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: bigger screen, maybe mag safe on the back USBC. But

926
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: this is Apple's phone that costs generally under five hundred dollars,

927
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: so a lot of people like this as a simple

928
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: kind of entry level iPhone Again, iPhone se probably going

929
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: to be announced on February nineteenth.

930
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 2: Let's go oh to uh, let's see here is it?

931
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: Taren Karen in Tennessee Taren, he welcome to the show.

932
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 14: Heh Yes. I love to read books, and I currently

933
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 14: have the Kindle app on one of my very very

934
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 14: very old iPads. So I'm gonna either need to buy

935
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 14: a Kindle or buy an iPad, and I don't know

936
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 14: which to do.

937
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the question, That's an easy one, Karen, Taren

938
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: Karen Taran is my sister's name. Actually she spells it a

939
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: little different t A R y N. So do you

940
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: pronounce that?

941
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 5: Why?

942
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 3: What? No? Why?

943
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 14: Well Tyrone Power, very famous old actor. His daughter was

944
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 14: named Taren with a y.

945
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: Ah, Okay, I'm gonna have to ask my mom.

946
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

947
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: So I think this is a super super easy decision.

948
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: And the decision is one thousand Kindle, oh okay. And

949
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: the reason why is because the Kindle is for reading.

950
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: The iPad is great and it's an amazing device, but

951
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: I hate it for reading. I mean, I'm looking at

952
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: my screen all day on my phone. The stress level

953
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: on your eyes on a kindle is infinitely less than

954
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: the stress level on your eyes on an iPad. And

955
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: plus it has other benefits like when you're out and

956
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: about when you're out in the sun, this thing does

957
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: not heat up. It reads in the sun. It's waterproof,

958
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: so you can bring it by the pool and the

959
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: tub whatever. I mean, there's just so many benefits to

960
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: the Kindle versus the iPad as a reading device. Plus

961
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: there's no notifications. You're not sitting there and all of

962
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: a sudden you get a notification and now you're down,

963
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, a TikTok. Not that I think you're on

964
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: a TikTok rabbit hole, but you know what I mean,

965
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: Like that could happen, you know.

966
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 14: So what kindle would I get? There are a few

967
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 14: of them.

968
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: Well that's the that's the million dollar question. So I personally,

969
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: I still use a really old kindle. I would not

970
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: go for the kindle with the color soft. I would

971
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: not get that one. So let me see. I got

972
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: to look at the kindles, because there's a whole bunch

973
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: of them. I think the best one is the middle one,

974
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: so it is the not the color soft and not

975
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: the regular kindle. I think the paper white is the

976
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: one to go with ye, and that's kind of their

977
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: middle of the road one. It's one hundred and sixty

978
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: dollars I would spend. I would spend the extra. I

979
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: think it's like twenty bucks to get the one that

980
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: doesn't have ads on the screen, on the home screen,

981
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: like or the lock screen. I should say, but that's

982
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 1: that's optional. But here's the thing. I would not just

983
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: buy this thing today, because these things go on sale regularly,

984
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: and that's what I would wait for. So I would

985
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 1: set an alert, put this in your shopping cart on Amazon,

986
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: and wait for the price to drop before you purchase it.

987
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 1: Kindles go on sale all the time, all.

988
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 14: The time, Okay, super Thank you. You've been so helpful.

989
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: All right, well, well thanks Tarn and Tennessee love the question.

990
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call. I love my kindle, absolutely love

991
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: my Kindle. I mean I read on it every single day,

992
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: and to me, it's an escape from the screen centric

993
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: world we live in.

994
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 3: Now.

995
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: I know they came out with the Kindle. They've got

996
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: several different kindles. They've got the Kindle, which is their

997
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: standard one. I don't I would skip the standard one,

998
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: just go with the paper white. I know it's a

999
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit more, but you're gonna get such better value

1000
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: out of your money. It's just going to be a

1001
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: bigger screen. It's going to be faster. I believe it's

1002
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: sharper text as well on the screen. But you know,

1003
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: the battery lasts forever on these things. They're just so easy. Okay,

1004
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: here's the yeah, okay, so the okay, the text is

1005
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: the same on oh gosh, the text is three hundred

1006
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: PPI and all of them. So okay, So I stand

1007
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: corrected there. But so from the Kindle to the paper white,

1008
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: battery life on the regular kindle is six weeks. On

1009
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: the pay paper white, it's twelve weeks. Storage is the same.

1010
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: There's no wireless charging on those two models. If you

1011
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: go to the Signature edition on the paper White, you're

1012
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna get double the storage, wireless charging. Let's see auto

1013
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: adjusting front light sensor. So that means that when you

1014
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: go from like a dark room to a light room,

1015
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna adjust how intense the brightness is. Let's see

1016
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: the Kindle The standard one is not waterproof, but the

1017
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: Kindle paper White is.

1018
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 2: And above.

1019
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, so again, I think the sweet spot here

1020
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: is the Kindle Paper White. If you want wireless charging

1021
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 1: and a little bit more adjustment on the lighting by itself,

1022
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: I would go with the Signature edition. That's two hundred dollars.

1023
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: That's a lot. But the paper White, I think for

1024
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of people is going to be just perfect.

1025
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: I still have the.

1026
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: Old Oasis from many years ago.

1027
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 2: I love it.

1028
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for them to come out with a

1029
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: new version of that. But I guess none of them

1030
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: have physical buttons anymore. It's all touchscreen eight to eight

1031
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: which one O one eight eight eight seven four to

1032
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: two four one zero one. Coming up, we're gonna talk

1033
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: about managing your digital estate. This is rich on Tech

1034
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Rich on Tech. Rich DeMuro here hanging

1035
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology at eight eight eight Rich

1036
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: one oh one eight eight eight seven four to two

1037
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: four one zero one. We'll get back to the phone

1038
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: lines in just a moment. There's an app this week

1039
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: that us kind of getting a little bit of headlines.

1040
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: It's called the death Clock. App uses AI to predict

1041
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: your lifespan. Yeah, I downloaded it. I'm sorry I did.

1042
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: I put in all my information and told me my

1043
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: last day. Gives you a save the date card. I mean, yeah,

1044
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 1: this stuff is dark. But the idea is that you

1045
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: kind of have an idea of how to improve your

1046
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: life and live longer. So at the end they try

1047
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: to sell you on like a you know, a longevity plan,

1048
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: but you know you ask It asked you a whole

1049
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: bunch of questions about your exercise, stress, your medical history.

1050
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: And while you might be saying, Rich, isn't this just

1051
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 1: like a data grab, it actually doesn't ask any personal

1052
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: identifiable information at least for the questionnaire, So just ask

1053
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: your age and then your first name. It doesn't even

1054
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: ask for your email to get the the death date.

1055
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: But you know, they say it's for entertainment, but of

1056
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: course it's still a wake up call and it tells

1057
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: you even you know what it thinks is going to

1058
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: happen to you, whether it's you know, cancer or heart

1059
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. But again it's called the Death Clock app.

1060
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: iOS and Android. Download it at your own risk.

1061
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1062
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't have done it, So I'm

1063
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,439
Speaker 1: just warning you. If you don't want to think about

1064
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: it for like the next couple of days, don't do it.

1065
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're okay, then you know, just

1066
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: take it with a grain of salt. On that note,

1067
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: this was an interesting article from the New York Times

1068
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: this week, how to prepare for your digital afterlife.

1069
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: So if you think about it, you.

1070
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: Know, you've got so many things, so many accounts what

1071
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: happens to those after we die? And here to discuss

1072
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: that is JD. Beersdorf for from the New York Times.

1073
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me, JD.

1074
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 15: Hey Rich, thanks so much for having me.

1075
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: Would you do the Death Clock app?

1076
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: Do you want to know?

1077
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 11: Or no?

1078
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 15: I don't want to know?

1079
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, see that's that's the way I feel after

1080
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: I did it. But I had to do it to

1081
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: try to like, you know, see what this thing was

1082
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: all about. You're curious, yeah, I mean yeah, but when

1083
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: you put it like a year on it, it's like if, okay,

1084
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: so let's talk about this article. So what what were

1085
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: you what was your thought behind this article? You just

1086
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: wanted to see, Like, you know, we've got like accounts

1087
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: for social media, You've got Google accounts, Apple accounts. Do

1088
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: they all sort of have a way that you can

1089
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: leave these to someone.

1090
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 15: They do, and it varies by each company. I mean,

1091
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 15: I sort of got into this. I had to tuttle

1092
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 15: one of my parents' estates, and so you get into

1093
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 15: it really deep when you're in the middle of it.

1094
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 15: And if you look, if you think about it, you know,

1095
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 15: we all know traditional estate of planning, you know, house property,

1096
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 15: car people get that. It's it's a long tradition. But

1097
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 15: we've had computers and internet for thirty forty years now

1098
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 15: depending on when you started. And if you think about that,

1099
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 15: in all those years, we've built up you know, photos

1100
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 15: and social media profiles and blogs and all of these

1101
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 15: things that leave little pieces of ourself in digital form

1102
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 15: over the Internet. And if you want something specific to

1103
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 15: happen to that after you pass you really need to

1104
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 15: leave instructions saying to my family, you know I want

1105
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 15: this to happen, or if you don't, conversely, so you

1106
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 15: have to say no, just delete everything. I don't want

1107
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 15: to be hanging around.

1108
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: So I guess my first question is is it as

1109
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: easy as just saying here's my password to my account

1110
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: or is that not as simple as that.

1111
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 15: It depends on the family and the trust level and

1112
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 15: all of that. And if you're really tight with your family,

1113
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 15: you know, no secession type thing going on here. But

1114
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 15: if you're really close to your family and you trust them,

1115
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 15: you can just basically write down what you want to happen.

1116
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 15: Most legal law sites advise you to write a letter

1117
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 15: or document saying these are all my online accounts, this

1118
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 15: is what I would like to happen to them, leave

1119
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 15: a separate list of passwords and user names so that

1120
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 15: they can get into those accounts. Most importantly, make sure

1121
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 15: that list is always up to date, and then just

1122
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 15: leave that with your state papers. The one thing you

1123
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 15: shouldn't do is put all your passwords in your will,

1124
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 15: because will has become public once they get fought with

1125
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 15: the court, and you don't want.

1126
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 3: All that stuff out there.

1127
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 15: But you leave your maybe you pick a digital executor,

1128
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 15: if you will, who's going to handle this. It could

1129
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 15: be the person who's doing your whole estate and just

1130
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 15: say I want all these things to happen. Here's how

1131
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 15: to get into the accounts, and then they can go

1132
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 15: from there. There is a legal provision called the hang

1133
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 15: on here the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act. Yes,

1134
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 15: rolls off the tongue, but most of the states in

1135
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 15: the country have enacted this, and this basically gives control

1136
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 15: to the executor or the person who's handling the estate

1137
00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 15: to have access to someone's electronic communications and dental content.

1138
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 15: If that person said that they could. If they didn't

1139
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 15: leave any access and think gets a lot harder to

1140
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 15: get into the accounts and stuff, or if the person

1141
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 15: didn't even have a will or left any instructions at all,

1142
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 15: then it can be really quite a legal hassle.

1143
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: Okay, So what I'm hearing is if you leave instructions

1144
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: and say yes, I would like these accounts to be

1145
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: passed on, it sounds like the person who's the executor

1146
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 1: can get access to them. But if you didn't leave

1147
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: that specific instruction, then it's not like you can just

1148
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: email Google and say, hey, you know this person passed,

1149
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: I'd like access.

1150
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: It's not that easy.

1151
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, Then it gets to the point where maybe

1152
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 15: you have to have court orders in order to get

1153
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 15: this and also prove why you would need access to

1154
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 15: their stuff, that very long legal thing that we mentioned,

1155
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 15: the red Dice fiduiciary. I think the reason this revised

1156
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 15: is because originally they had just given complete access to

1157
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 15: the account for anyone who said other person died and

1158
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 15: I need to get anto their stuff and prib to say.

1159
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 15: Advocates said, well, no, this is a problem. Maybe they

1160
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 15: didn't want their stuff to get out on it, you know,

1161
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 15: the access, so they revised it and made it a

1162
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 15: little bit harder. But as long as you have permission

1163
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 15: from the person, it's usually okay. And a lot of

1164
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 15: sites too, like if you've got Microsoft's website, if you

1165
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 15: need to go in and close an Outlook account or

1166
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,839
Speaker 15: cancel their Microsoft Word subscription or whatever. Microsoft's site says,

1167
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 15: you don't have to tell us when the person died.

1168
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 15: If you have the name of the password, do what

1169
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 15: you gotta do and just delete the account yourself. So

1170
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 15: it can be that simple. If the person is armed

1171
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 15: with all of the names and passwords for these accounts.

1172
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: So what about this legacy contact because I often talk

1173
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: about that who has the legacy contact access?

1174
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 2: Like who has that feature?

1175
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 15: Apple's got it, Google's got a version of it. It's

1176
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 15: there an active account manager thing. Facebook has one. There's

1177
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 15: a few other sites too, but you know, the big

1178
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 15: three definitely have it, and they all vary a little

1179
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 15: bit on how they approach it. Facebook's gives you when

1180
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 15: you name somebody your legacy contact. They can go in

1181
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 15: after you die and manage your profile and put up

1182
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 15: a memorial post or whatever, but they can't log into

1183
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 15: it directly and read your messages, so they sort of

1184
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 15: cry you that way. Apple will give you access to

1185
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 15: pretty much all the stuff in iCloud and like email, notes, calendars,

1186
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 15: all of that. But if you had a lot of

1187
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 15: like things you bought from iTunes maybe or Apple Movie Music,

1188
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 15: all of that license content doesn't actually transfer, so they

1189
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 15: only get your personal stuff but not like your iTunes library.

1190
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: So you said you had to do this for a

1191
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: family member, What did you learn in the process, Like,

1192
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: what was it tougher than you thought? Was it easier

1193
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 1: than you thought? Was there any eye opening part of it.

1194
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 15: It was a lot of stuff that I didn't think

1195
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 15: I would have to think about till it was actually

1196
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 15: there and once you get in there, but the relative

1197
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 15: was not maybe the most technical, if you will, And

1198
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 15: so we had set up a system right, do all

1199
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 15: the family tech support. Anyway, I've been writing about tech

1200
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 15: for thirty years, so it's just naturally my default position.

1201
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 3: And so what we.

1202
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 15: Would do instead of I would business say, no, don't

1203
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 15: put your passwords on the post it note on the monitor.

1204
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 15: Let's sit down and go over all your accounts. And

1205
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 15: I've got this thing called a password Manager, and it's

1206
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 15: a little app that's basically a digital vault to store

1207
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 15: all your passwords in and you can get into it

1208
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 15: with one master password. So we sat down and went

1209
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 15: through all the accounts, use their name password. If you

1210
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 15: change your password, please tell me so I can update

1211
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 15: the thing. And so when the day came and you

1212
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 15: passed on, I had all of the stuff that I

1213
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 15: could go through and take care of things, close them,

1214
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 15: do what I needed to do to settle it.

1215
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 2: And it does make.

1216
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 15: It easier too, Like if there's bill auto pay in

1217
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 15: some accounts, you can go and turn that off cancel

1218
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 15: like Netflix and Hula subscriptions.

1219
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: There's all these.

1220
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 15: Little things that we didn't used to have to do

1221
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 15: that because we're so digital now it's a thing.

1222
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: So the password manager does that complicate things or make

1223
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: it easier for this process you think?

1224
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 15: I think for people who are comfortable with tech, it can.

1225
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 15: Actually they save you a lot of time because you

1226
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 15: have one secure place. Usually it's stored on your phone.

1227
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 15: You put all the passwords in there. Some apps will

1228
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 15: let you store other things like secure notes, software license information,

1229
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 15: that kind of stuff, and it's you remember to update

1230
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 15: it because when you change you passwordor I need to

1231
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 15: go and hear an update it, whereas maybe if you

1232
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 15: had things written down, you'd forget to go find the

1233
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 15: piece of paper and update it. And a lot of

1234
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 15: these password managers actually have family licenses, so you can

1235
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 15: have a group of people all sharing the same vault

1236
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 15: and you can limit the access as you want. But

1237
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 15: if you needed them to have everything, it's easier to

1238
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 15: do that with a family plan. So I thought the

1239
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 15: password managers were actually pretty handy, and it's right there.

1240
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 12: You can back it up to computer if you want to.

1241
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 15: A lot of the more thoughtful ones will tell you, oh,

1242
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 15: look there's been this data breach and this password you're

1243
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 15: using was actually compromised, so maybe you should go and

1244
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 15: change that. I find it a little bit more secure.

1245
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 15: A lot of people still want to write the thing down,

1246
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 15: leave it with their lawyer, put it in a secure

1247
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 15: block box or something, which is another way to do

1248
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 15: It's just you got to keep in mind that if

1249
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 15: you've got an entire list of all your user names

1250
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 15: of passwords in your accounts, if you get robbed or

1251
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,479
Speaker 15: somebody steals that, then that's basically, you know, golden mind

1252
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 15: for identity theft.

1253
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I've got less than a minute. But

1254
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious your thoughts on like giving the pass code

1255
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: to your phone, like leaving that because you know that

1256
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: has a lot of information on it. And also like

1257
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people are doing two factor authentication codes,

1258
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: does that play into this as well, Like you need

1259
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: to get those to that phone line.

1260
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's another thing, and I mentioned this in the

1261
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 15: article in the Times, is while you're writing everything down,

1262
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 15: don't forget the pin code for your phone and the

1263
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 15: password for your computer because you need to get into

1264
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 15: the phone a for the two factor authentication that you mentioned,

1265
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 15: but also there's a contact list. Maybe you have to

1266
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 15: have a list of names of people who have to call.

1267
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 15: The phone has so much of our lives in it too,

1268
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 15: and you just need to be able to get in there.

1269
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 15: And the computer companies, do to privacy laws, will not

1270
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 15: take that pin code off. The only way you can

1271
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 15: get into the phone is a few do a factory

1272
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 15: reset and wipes all the data. So then you have

1273
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 15: an empty glass triangle, but you don't have all of

1274
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 15: those personal memories and things that were in the phone

1275
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 15: and some of the security tools that you need to

1276
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 15: get in there and start settling this stay.

1277
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, good information, all right.

1278

Speaker 2: Let's go to UH in New Orleans. Doug, you're on

1296
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: with Pitch.

1297
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 5: Hey, Hi, Yeah, I've talked to you before. You've been

1298
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 5: so helpful. Anyway, I love TikTok and so remember they

1299
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 5: were saying, hey, don't do any iOS updates otherwise you're

1300
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 5: going to lose your TikTok. Yes, so I've avoided doing

1301
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 5: my updates on iOS the last two times, and I'm wondering, well,

1302
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 5: now that it's available on the app, should I go

1303
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 5: ahead and do the update?

1304
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 2: Yes?

1305
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: I would for sure because the last update had some

1306
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: critical patches in it. So you're you're good to go.

1307
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: And you know, from what I heard, people who did

1308
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the software update didn't necessarily lose their TikTok. It was

1309
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: more of the if they switched phones or something like that,

1310
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: it may not have come over. Because I did the

1311
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: update on my phone, the iOS eighteen. I think they

1312
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: have a new one now since I did it.

1313
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: What are we update? Let me see here?

1314
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: We are up to General Software Update iOS eighteen point

1315
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: three point one. So there's been two software updates, like

1316
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: you said, since this happened in January. But I would

1317
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: do them because now you can download it from If

1318
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: something happened and it went away, you can re download

1319
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: it from the app stores.

1320
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 5: You're good to go, right, Okay, So do I do

1321
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 5: when I download the new updates? Do I do the

1322
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 5: old one first or just do the latest one?

1323
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: Whatever's on there, it should just be the latest one,

1324
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: should have it should have the old one as well.

1325
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: It may not.

1326
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: It just depends on how Apple's done it. But I

1327
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: would just do whatever's on there, Just do that and

1328
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: then if it says, oh there's another one.

1329
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Do that as well. But yeah, that's what I would do.

1330
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: But get those updates because you know they do you know,

1331
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: they patch some security flaws and things like that on

1332
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: the iPhone, and they're always a good idea to do.

1333
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: I know people like to wait a little bit just

1334
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: to make sure everything's good, but that's that's what I recommend.

1335
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 2: What do you like about TikTok? What do you learning

1336
01:03:58,360 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 2: on there? Or what?

1337
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 12: Just on?

1338
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Stop we're talking, Kim and I are having a side

1339
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: conversation about how it just gets you. You know, you

1340
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: start swiping, it's just like you can't stop.

1341
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 5: And then hours, hours can really go by fast. But

1342
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think for me it's I I

1343
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 5: do learn things and then I'll tell my friends day

1344
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 5: I just saw this on TikTok and blah blah blah.

1345
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 2: It's certainly been a force.

1346
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: No, but it's but it's been a force in the

1347
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: world when it comes to, you know, information, My kid

1348
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: watches YouTube shorts and the amount of information he's picked

1349
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: up on there, good and bad, is pretty wild. You know.

1350
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,959
Speaker 1: It sounds like it sounds like you're catching a flight

1351
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: or something. So Doug, we're gonna let you all right,

1352
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: where are you headed to anywhere?

1353
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 3: Good?

1354
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 5: We're going, uh, to Charlotte and then to Tampa.

1355
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: All right, we'll have fun in Charlotte and Tampa. It

1356
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: sounds like someone's trying to try to get through there.

1357
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight rich on eight eight eight seven four

1358
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: to two four one zero one.

1359
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 10: Uh.

1360
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to Laura in a Rancho mission via Hoo, Laura,

1361
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you're on rich Hello.

1362
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 6: There, thanks for taking my call. I love what you do,

1363
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 6: and thanks from informing people we need people like you.

1364
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I try the world.

1365
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Some people debate the merits of some of the information

1366
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: I share, but you know it's all on the floor site.

1367
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 6: But we need to have their discussion. Absolutely, So what

1368
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 6: can I have to you so I might have fixed

1369
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 6: my problem in the time I was waiting for you

1370
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 6: to come online? My problem has been I have a

1371
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 6: Google calendar that is shared by several volunteers, and we

1372
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 6: all put in our schedules, and every time someone put

1373
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 6: a schedule change or update, I get an email notescase

1374
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 6: and on my email account, and I went to Also

1375
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 6: it's a way you know different things. I've clicked so

1376
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 6: many things off. But I think the mistake I might

1377
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 6: have made is I wasn't in the calendar that was

1378
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 6: actually the volunteer calendar. I was probably in the calendar.

1379
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 11: Yes, well, I see it says.

1380
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 6: Select calendar and then change other notifications. And I finally

1381
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 6: found other notifications. So I believe if I select none

1382
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 6: on the events, change events, cancel events, events responses, everything

1383
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 6: should go away and I shouldn't get all of these email.

1384
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yes, this is a great question.

1385
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 2: I get.

1386
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: These calendar notifications can drive you nuts because there's so many, many,

1387
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: and they come everywhere. They come to my watch, they

1388
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: come to my phone, they come to my computer, and

1389
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I just had to do this the other day. I

1390
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 1: had to turn off some of them because I was like,

1391
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting like the same notification across so many things.

1392
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: And then, of course, like you said, you can get

1393
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: them in your email as well. So I think that

1394
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: is the trick is that there are if you look

1395
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: in Google Calendar, number one, you want to go to

1396
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the calendar Google Calendar on your desktop and go into

1397
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: the settings. And by the way, these these notifications for

1398
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: your desktop could be different than your mobile phone. So

1399
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: if you're having they were you know, duple kits, you

1400
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: can go through and on your phone those are sort

1401
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: of like phone notifications. These are sort of like desktop

1402
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: and what you're talking about email notifications. So if you

1403
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: go into settings, there's a little gear icon that's sort

1404
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: of the universal icon. It'll say settings for my calendars,

1405
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: and so there's a general setting, which is probably what

1406
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: you were trying to figure out first, and you changed

1407
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: all those and they still happened. But then if you

1408
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: tap these calendars on the left hand side, there's a

1409
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: whole bunch and I've got a whole bunch of them,

1410
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and then you can go in and see all of

1411
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: the different notifications. So, for instance, on my personal calendar,

1412
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: gives me event notifications ten minutes before and then one

1413
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: minute before. That might be too much, all day notifications,

1414
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: and then the other notifications is what you're talking about,

1415
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: which is new events, changed events, canceled events, event responses,

1416
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: and a daily agenda. You can switch those to none

1417
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: or email. I'm guessing that you've switched those two none.

1418
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, I have none.

1419
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 6: So the trick was finding the correct calendar. I was

1420
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 6: doing it on some other I have three or four

1421
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 6: calendars that I'm using, and so gut finding the right

1422
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 6: calendar with the trick, I think, and then I could

1423
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 6: finally see other notifications. I've been looking for that for

1424
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 6: months now.

1425
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you found it while you're on hold.

1426
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Thanks Laura for the question. Great information. The other thing

1427
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: to know, by the way, is the let's see when

1428
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: you're in Google calendar the automatic events made by Gmail.

1429
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: If you're sharing a calendar with someone, they may not

1430
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: see those automatic Gmail events. So if you see something

1431
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: that says automatically created by Gmail, use the copy to

1432
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,839
Speaker 1: a different calendar to get that onto the other person's calendar.

1433

1446
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: You know why, this is why I can never post

1447
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: anything that's silly, because last night I got pizza and

1448
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: the AI Generative Edit on the Samsung device. The new

1449
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: one is just incredible, Like it's so good. It's just

1450
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: the best AI photo editing I've ever seen in my life.

1451
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 1: So I thought it'd be funny to take a picture

1452
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: of me holding a slice of pizza and I just

1453
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: use the AI to make that pizza like enormous. And

1454
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding the amount of people, and I thought

1455
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: it looked fake, right, Like, I mean, it looked real,

1456
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: but like, there's no piece of pizza that's the size

1457
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: of my entire body, right, And I'm not kidding. I

1458
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: got so many people texting me saying, where'd you get

1459
01:09:58,479 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: that giant slice?

1460
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: Where get that giant slice?

1461
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: And I had to take down the picture because I

1462
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: felt bad misleading people. Now, this is actually a lot

1463
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: of talk in the AI world of when you edit

1464
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: a photo using AI, the photo editor, a lot of

1465
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: them will leave a water mark on the file, and

1466
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 1: so when you upload that file somewhere that program understands

1467
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: that that file was edited using AI. In the case

1468
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: of Instagram and Facebook, they're supposed to market with a little,

1469
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, a little tag that says made with AI. Well,

1470
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I thought that tag would be on my story in

1471
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: the upper left hand corner. That didn't appear. So now

1472
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 1: on the Samsung it also puts a watermark on the

1473
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: bottom of the photo that said generated with AI.

1474
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:47,799
Speaker 2: But that was sort of cut off.

1475
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: On the photo when it made it sixteen by nine

1476
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: in that story version versus the standard photo size. So

1477
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: it was just a whole thing, and I felt bad

1478
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: and all these people were texting me saying, oh, my

1479
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 1: kid would love it, giant piece of pizza, and I

1480
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: just had to take it down. But you have to

1481
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 1: two things. My two takeaways. Number one, the photo editor,

1482
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: the built in editing for AI. The AI photo editor

1483
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: on the Samsung is just truly incredible. Like I'm telling you,

1484
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: you can erase things from pictures, modify them, add things,

1485
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: and you cannot tell. I don't know what kind of

1486
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: magic they're using on the back end, but it's really good,

1487
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 1: better than what Apple's doing, better than what Google's doing.

1488
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 3: Now.

1489
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: Adobe this week they launched Video Firefly. It's called so

1490
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: they've got you know, video generation, and you know everyone

1491
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: does a level of AI video and photo generation. But

1492
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: with the editing you can do on the Samsung for

1493
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: free or included, I guess with the phone is just

1494
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: truly remarkable, like really really good. Like last week I

1495
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: was posting on my Instagram. If you want to see

1496
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: it at rich On Tech, look for the photo that

1497
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: it looks like I'm almost like showing like a ring

1498
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: in front of my face. People thought I was like

1499
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: they thought it was like a proposal photo or something,

1500
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: but you can actually we figured out you can erase

1501
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: a hand or anything in front of your face, and

1502
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:14,480
Speaker 1: it will recreate your face underneath that hand with eerie accuracy.

1503
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean, this stuff is just wild. How does it

1504
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: know what my face looks like? I was able to

1505
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: remove sunglasses from my face and it recreated my eyes. Now,

1506
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 1: they didn't specifically look like my eyes, but it was

1507
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: pretty close. Now, the face with your mouth, when I

1508
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: had my hand in front of my mouth, it was

1509
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: really good. Mary writes in Hey, Rich, got a conundrum

1510
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: with my senior mom, who lives in an assisted living home.

1511
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: I noticed she was going to bed wearing your hearing aids.

1512
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,799
Speaker 1: She's not remembering to take them out. Wireless charging aids

1513
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: are out. As she's very old one hundred. She has

1514
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: no smart devices other than the Samsung Samsung TV as

1515
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: five years old. I'm thinking of an external device that

1516
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: we could hook up to her TV that would see

1517
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: everything all programming, old movies, sports, news, et cetera. If

1518
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: we enable CC on the TV via the Samsung remote,

1519
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: would that be on all the time. She can't manage

1520
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: a remote, so refreshing the closed captioning once the TV

1521
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: is turned back on is also out. She doesn't need

1522
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: to hear at night except to watch TV. Thank you

1523
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: Mary and tapanga Mary. If you turned on it depends

1524
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: if she's watching something that's coming through the TV and

1525
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: through the TV speakers, like not a streaming service. Yes,

1526
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the CC on the remote would handle that. You just

1527
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: have to turn that on once and it would whatever

1528
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: channel she's on, the closed captioning would work. So I

1529
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: think that's fine. Now, if you're talking streaming, it gets

1530
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: a little trickier because the closed captioning from the TV

1531
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: and even I'm looking here, so Samsung Close Captions let's

1532
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: see says Samsung has a variety of accessibility settings. If

1533
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you have closed captioning turned on for your TV, they

1534
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: still may not show up on some sources. Certain apps

1535
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: like Netflix or HBO Max have their own settings, So

1536
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: that is the main thing to know. If she's using

1537
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: a stream app for these sports and stuff like that,

1538
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: this the close captioning is not going to show up

1539
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: on there, So you do need to take that into consideration.

1540
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: But I think if she's just watching stuff that's on

1541
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: TV channels, go ahead, yeah, turn it on and it's

1542
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: just gonna be on there all day. I mean, my

1543
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: wife and I watch movies and TV shows with close

1544
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 1: captioning on. We're not hard of hearing, but we still

1545
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: just like that reassurance of what do they just say

1546
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: and it's on there now. The other thing, I'm not

1547
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: able to locate a universal closed captioning box, but there

1548
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: might be something like a specialized box that does that.

1549
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: But the thing about that box is your TV input

1550
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: would have to go into that box, so the box

1551
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: can listen to the audio and then real time close

1552
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: caption it and then send that signal back out to

1553
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: the TV. So it'd sort of be an intermediate box

1554
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: that could get expensive because it's probably a specialty box.

1555
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: The other thing that I would look into is something

1556
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: called Jubilee TV, and I did a segment with them

1557
01:14:56,120 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: on TV and basically this entire box is in invented

1558
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: for situations like you're talking about. The website get jubileetv

1559
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: dot com. The box is two hundred dollars and yeah,

1560
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,839
Speaker 1: it's a little pricey, plus you have to pay a membership.

1561
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's like thirty bucks a month. But this

1562
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: literally you can control every single aspect of this TV

1563
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: from your phone. You can turn the TV on, you

1564
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 1: can turn it off, you can start a movie. You

1565
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: can even see what mom sees on her TV screen

1566
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: on your phone screen, so it literally live streams it

1567
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: to your phone and you can turn off, adjust the volume,

1568
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: turn on the closed captioning, turn it off, change the channel,

1569
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: go into the streaming service. You say, hey, Mom, I'm

1570
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna put Netflix on for you. Here's a cool movie.

1571
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead watch it. You can do it all from

1572
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: your phone.

1573
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 2: Again. It's called Jubilee TV.

1574
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: It's very specialized, but it is meant for situations like

1575
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: you're talking about. It's for caregivers that live across the miles,

1576
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 1: but they still want to be able to help their parents,

1577
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the TV unless they're just

1578
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: sitting there. Flipping the standard channels on the antenna could

1579
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: get very tricky with all these streaming services, So get

1580
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: jubileetv dot com that that will do what you need.

1581
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 1: But it is probably a little priceier, a little a

1582
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 1: little more high end solution of what you're talking about.

1583
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: But I would try just enabling the close captions first,

1584
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: depending on you know what she's doing. All right, let's

1585
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: go to Earl in Witty or Earl You're on with Rich?

1586
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 2: Yes, Rich, how are you I am doing, excellen.

1587
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 16: I have ordered a starlink many and I actually haven't

1588
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 16: got it. I had it sent to an next door

1589
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 16: neighbor to where I'm going to install it, and it's

1590
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 16: several hundred miles from here. But I want to use

1591
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 16: it as an intrusion monitor since we have no telephone

1592
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 16: service or anything really over there except for electricity and sunlight.

1593
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so you need sol.

1594
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 16: I wonder if there's a problem getting the thing a

1595
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 16: camera set up remote on the on the startling, and

1596
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 16: also if it's necess if I finally get it to

1597
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 16: the point where I can use it to transmit pictures

1598
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 16: after motion, will it just keep sending on for the

1599
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 16: next twenty four to seven and burn up my data allowance?

1600
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 16: Or I don't understand how it knows how to do

1601
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 16: or what to do.

1602
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: Well, it depends on the camera you get, and it

1603
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: depends on the level of you know what you're setting.

1604
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: So with something like a ring cam, they typically there

1605
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: are settings in the camera which is called a timeout setting.

1606
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: So let's say it's triggered by motion. Let's say you

1607
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: have a raccoon, go and buy the camera, right, it

1608
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: gets triggered and then it sends you that notification to

1609
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: your phone. It can time out for the next you know,

1610
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: ten minutes, whatever you know, setting you put on there

1611
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: so it doesn't trigger automatically again, so that way you're

1612
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: not getting a ton of these all at the same time.

1613
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: And these cameras are also getting smarter, yeah, and that's

1614
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: built into the camera. So the wisecam, the ring cam,

1615
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these cameras have that functionality built in,

1616
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: the UFI cams of the world. But I would start

1617
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: with maybe looking at the wisecams because those are the

1618
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: simplest and the cheapest and the easiest. The blink cams

1619
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: are also really simple and easy, and blink cameras in

1620
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: general are meant to sort of send you snapshots of

1621
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: things so that you can get alerts for you know,

1622
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: intrusion whatever, and that will send through the through the satellite.

1623
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: Do you have did you mention you have electricity for

1624
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: all of this or do you have to use solar?

1625
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 11: No?

1626
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 16: No, I have electricity.

1627
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So you're just basically wanting to set up a

1628
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: remote cam in a remote place through the starlink and

1629
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: have it text you when there's activity or.

1630
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 16: Emotion exactly and let me take a look at it too. Yeah,

1631
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 16: I get there when I get a push notification from it.

1632
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1633
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a very straightforward setup. I think that

1634
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: you'll have no problem with this. And again it's just

1635
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: going to come down to the settings on the camera itself.

1636
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 1: The other one, the other camera that is sort of

1637
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 1: very simple and easy for this is called can Guru

1638
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: k A n g A r Oo and they have

1639
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: a system that can send you sort of a notification

1640
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: when there's it can send you like a series of

1641
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: snapshots when it senses motion. So I mean there's so

1642
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: many ways to tackle this. All these companies can pretty

1643
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: much do what you need. Now, the live stream part is,

1644
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, when you get that notification, if you want

1645
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: to tap into the live stream of that camera, then

1646
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: you have the option to do that as well, and

1647
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: you can kind of either some of the cameras let

1648
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: you talk back and forth and say, hey, what are

1649
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 1: you doing there on my property or whatever. But again,

1650
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: the cameras that I would look at, the wisecam, the

1651
01:19:54,920 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: UFI cam, also the ring cameras and the Kanguru n

1652
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: g A r Oo and then the Blink cameras. But

1653
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have no problem with all this

1654
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: great question, Earle, thanks for the call today. Eight to

Speaker 1: website rich on Tech dot tv. If you want to

1661
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: send me an email. Hard to believe the super Bowl

1662
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: was just about a week ago, feels like for me,

1663
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: it feels like forever ago.

1664
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1665
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 6: Uh.

1666
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl streaming hit a new record fourteen point five

1667
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:50,879
Speaker 1: million streaming viewers. This is a new all time record

1668
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: two B thirteen point six million viewers. That is a

1669
01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: major win. Think about that. I mean Fox owns to B.

1670
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: They got so many people to download this app. Maybe

1671
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: you've heard of it, maybe you're aware of it. But

1672
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: to get this many people to sit there and not

1673
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: only download it, but to use it and to give

1674
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: them their email address, this is a huge win. So

1675
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: total TV and streaming audience for the game hit one

1676
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven point seven million. So, as you

1677
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 1: can see, streaming still a small portion of this, but

1678
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it goes to show the fact that so

1679
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: many people went direct with to be that's a big

1680
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,679
Speaker 1: deal because it shows that, you know, over the years,

1681
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, sports have been trying to protect their business

1682
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: because they make a lot of money on these services, right,

1683
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: like all the if you look at sports, it's kind

1684
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: of like the last hold out. Like everything else, you

1685
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: can kind of piece together. You can get stuff on YouTube,

1686
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: you can get stuff on Netflix and this and that.

1687
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: But like if you want to watch your favorite sports team,

1688
01:21:56,760 --> 01:22:00,759
Speaker 1: you typically have to subscribe to some sort of streaming service,

1689
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: like a paid service. And you know a lot of

1690
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: people either don't do that or they do. Look at

1691
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: Sunday Ticket, that's a big one. NBA has their own.

1692
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 1: So anyway, my point is that tub is now a force.

1693
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: A lot of people know about it. And I was

1694
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 1: actually talking to my mom last night about streaming services

1695
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: and I said, oh, Twob's on by Fox. She said, wait, what,

1696
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:23,759
Speaker 1: She's like, they actually have a lot of good stuff

1697
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: on there, and I said, yes, they do, because Fox

1698
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: is putting a lot of their back catalog on this app.

1699
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Why not You've got a whole catalog of old shows

1700
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,919
Speaker 1: put them on there. You know, Pluto TV is Viacom,

1701
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: so they've got a whole bunch of old shows. I said,

1702
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm watching Mister Wizard's World from Nickelodeon back in the day. Again,

1703
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 1: it's a show that was probably sitting on a shelf

1704
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: somewhere for many years, and they said, well, let's digitize

1705
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: this and put it on Pluto. And I don't think

1706
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: there's any ads on that one, but you know the

1707
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:55,759
Speaker 1: other ones, they all have ads that play and that's

1708
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: how they make their money, just like old school TV.

1709
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 1: An app called trip case, travel app called trip case

1710
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: is shutting down. Saber is the company behind it. They're

1711
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: a big travel company. They are shutting down trip Case

1712
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: on April first. So tripcase was one of these sort

1713
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: of itinerary apps. You can put all of your information

1714
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: for your trip in there, and it was probably handy

1715
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: for like commercial travelers, you know, people that travel for

1716
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 1: business a lot. The big alternatives. If you were using

1717
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: trip case and you need something new, trip it is

1718
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,479
Speaker 1: probably the number one biggest alternative to it, and trip

1719
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 1: it is great. Puts everything you need into a single

1720
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: itinerary and imports your emails automatically, your confirmation emails and

1721
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 1: it makes a nice itinerary. If you pay for the

1722
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: pro version, which your company may give it to you

1723
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: for free, that you get all kinds of real time

1724
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: alerts and all that good stuff that's available on iOS,

1725
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: Android and the web. Tripsy, if you're just iPhone you

1726
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: don't care about cross platform trips is just for iOS

1727
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: and the web, but very similar. It's kind of puts

1728
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: everything in a really it's like a nice it's like

1729
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: very well designed, let's put it that way. So Tripsy

1730
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: is same thing, very similar to trip It maybe not

1731
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: as corporate. This might be more for like, you know,

1732
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the leisure traveler.

1733
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 2: Let's say.

1734
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,719
Speaker 1: The one that I use I absolutely love, is called

1735
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Award Wallet, and this is mostly designed to track your

1736
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: loyalty programs, like you can put in all your you know,

1737
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: Avis and Hurts and United and Delta and Marriott, and

1738
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: it will kind of keep track of all the points

1739
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: you have across all of those and I think it

1740
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: even gives you a value so you can see like

1741
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 1: your points value.

1742
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 2: But I don't use it for that.

1743
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: I actually just use it for this travel timeline feature,

1744
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: which is just incredible. The downside is you do have

1745
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: to give it access to your email account if you

1746
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 1: want it to do it automatically. If you don't want

1747
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: it to do it automatically, then you could just forward

1748
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 1: your confirmation emails to the award wallet. You get a

1749
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: special email. But what I love about this is you

1750
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 1: get one big travel timeline that you can scroll down

1751
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: and it gives you every single one of your reservations

1752
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,839
Speaker 1: in timeline order, and it groups them too, so for instance,

1753
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: if you have a reservation that you're going to a

1754
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: trip on, it'll kind of group the trips together. So

1755
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really really good and it's completely free

1756
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's called a wardwallet dot com.

1757
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: And again it's available cross platform. You know, if you

1758
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: listen to me, I like apps that are available everywhere.

1759
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't tell you about apps that are available on

1760
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: just one place most of the time because I don't

1761
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: believe in that. I believe that the Internet should be

1762
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: unifying us, not dividing us by saying, you know, hey,

1763
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: this only works on your type of phone. This only

1764
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: works on your type of phone. No, I like stuff

1765
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: that works on all phones the way it should. And finally,

1766
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: half right, I say that, And by the way, I'm

1767
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: going to go right to an app that's only available

1768
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: on the iPhone, but it's amazing. It's called Flighty. It

1769
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: is really the best and I've been begging the developer

1770
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 1: to bring it to Android. But Flighty is really incredible.

1771
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: But that's just for flight tracking, but it's the best

1772
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,839
Speaker 1: app out there. It is incredible. Flighty.

1773
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up, we.

1774
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: Are going to talk to the muscleman of tech, Bruce Peckman.

01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,200

01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:29,519

Speaker 1: furiously in the show notes so everything I mentioned. It's

Speaker 1: I just talked about, and you go there and you

1784
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: can't find it.

1785
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 2: I hate that.

1786
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,440
Speaker 1: So I do my best to make sure this information

1787

1797
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.

1798
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 12: Thanks ch for having me.

1799
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: So tell me about yourself you've been covering. When did

1800
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 1: you get into like the tech, I guess fitness side

1801
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: of things.

1802
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 12: Well, you know, I was started out as an engineer

1803
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 12: in aerospace. In fact, I worked on the B one

1804
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 12: bomber and the B two bomber, and then I shifted

1805
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 12: over to director of it. But my real passion because

1806
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 12: I've always my whole life been an amateur bodybuilder, and

1807
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 12: to this day, I've been in in about twelve or

1808
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 12: a dozen bodybuilding contests. So I competed in my twenties, thirties, forties, fifties,

1809
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 12: and sixties, and I'm doing one final show next year

1810
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 12: in my seventies. But I always loved technology, and I

1811
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 12: always was passionate about fitness and bodybuilding. So when I

1812
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 12: moved here to San Diego, there was an opening at

1813
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 12: a local TV station, Good Morning San Diego for a

1814
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 12: tech guy, and I said, I'm the Muscleman of Technology,

1815
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 12: and they loved it. So I basically my beat is

1816
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,640
Speaker 12: everything to do with digital connected health and wellness and

1817
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 12: consumer tech. So they call me the Muscleman of technology,

1818
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,719
Speaker 12: and there you have my life story.

1819
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:25,599
Speaker 1: Well, you don't just cover tech. I mean, you don't

1820
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: just cover fitnes stuff. I mean you cover everything, right,

1821
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:28,879
Speaker 1: But I cover everything.

1822
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 12: I pretty much do if it's interesting, if it's something

1823
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 12: I think that the public should know about that they

1824
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 12: may not because there's so many wonderful products out there,

1825
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 12: and there's also some dogs out there which I do

1826
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 12: not show. And I'm very judicious about what I put

1827
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 12: on my TV show as well and what I actually

1828
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:48,799
Speaker 12: put at my website because I have to test it.

1829
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 12: It has to get the double bicep approval.

1830
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

1831
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: Awesome, Bobo's laughing because I could see you on the video,

1832
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: but obviously on the radio we can't. But so tell

1833
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: me now you I had a health scare. This was

1834
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: wild because I saw you at a show where I

1835
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't see you at a couple of shows and I said,

1836
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: where have you been?

1837
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:08,559
Speaker 2: And you came out with.

1838
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: This story and I said, whoa what, So tell me

1839
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 1: what happened with your health?

1840
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 2: Scare right.

1841
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 12: Well, you know, all of us we have some really

1842
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 12: great genetics from our parents and some bad ones. I'm

1843
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 12: lucky I've got this great muscular body with a small

1844
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 12: waist and big shoulders. However, the bad side is that

1845
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 12: in my father's side of the family, we have very

1846
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 12: very extreme cardiovascular disease. Well. Being a bodybuilder, and to

1847
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 12: be perfectly honest with you, being brought up in New

1848
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,759
Speaker 12: York City, I didn't have the best diet in the world,

1849
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,879
Speaker 12: but it catches up to you. So in twenty eighteen

1850
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 12: a and though I looked fantastic and I still saw

1851
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 12: a cardiologist and I passed all the tests. I just

1852
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 12: went down one morning at like four in the morning

1853
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 12: and I got flushed and I didn't know what was

1854
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 12: going on, and I actually passed out for three to

1855
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,759
Speaker 12: five seconds, and my wife said, no way, I'm calling

1856
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 12: nine to one one. So they ran test on me

1857
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 12: for two days. They couldn't find the thing wrong with me,

1858
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,759
Speaker 12: and they said, you know, you have good insurance. Let's

1859
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 12: do an angiogram. Guess what the surgeon will be in

1860
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 12: your room in two hours. You're ninety percent clogged on

1861
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,799
Speaker 12: all your three primary cauterioteries. And that's just how fast

1862
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 12: people die of heart attacks.

1863
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that is unbelievable.

1864
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 1: And it's just it's so I guess that's just it's

1865
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 1: just telling of you got to get these tests. You

1866
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: got to do these things because like you, I mean,

1867
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: healthiest guy in the room. But again, it comes down

1868
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of it is genetics.

1869
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 12: Genetics and our day to day what we put in ourselves.

1870
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 12: How much processed food are we eating? Are we eating

1871
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 12: out five times a day? Are we ingesting an incredible

1872
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 12: amount of saturated fats? You know, these are the things

1873
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 12: that do us in And you know they call it

1874
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 12: said because the standard American diet is pretty horrific.

1875
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

1876
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: Well we try, I try, but it's not easy. We're

1877
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: up against a lot. Okay, so we are talking and

1878
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 1: by the way, you're doing great now, so that's good

1879
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,680
Speaker 1: to hear. Let's talk about some of these gadgets. So

1880
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 1: what's the first gadget that you want to talk about?

1881
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 12: The first gadget and you know, I love connected health

1882
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 12: and fitness devices, and I like things that are small

1883
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 12: and portable because usually when they're small and portable, you're

1884
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 12: not only more app to use it because you don't

1885
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 12: need a lot of space, but usually they're portable. So

1886
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,840
Speaker 12: I have the max pro Portable connective fitness device, and

1887
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,880
Speaker 12: their website is max pro Fitness, and this is what

1888
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 12: it looks like, and you could just it's about ten

1889
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 12: or twelve pounds, but it folds up and you could

1890
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 12: attach these handles to it so you could either step

1891
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 12: on it and you can do all kinds of resistant

1892
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 12: exercises and there's a little dialog each side that goes

1893
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 12: from one to twenty five and I think the top

1894
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,519
Speaker 12: one is the equivalent of three hundred pounds. But what

1895
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 12: I love is they actually have a bench where you

1896
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 12: can buy a third party bench and you could stick

1897
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 12: this under it and guess what you could do bench presses,

1898
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:55,080
Speaker 12: you could do skull crushers, all your favorite exercises that

1899
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,160
Speaker 12: you would do in the gym. But the best part

1900
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 12: it is connected and they have a wonderful app tells

1901
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 12: you all the exercises how well you're doing. It's Bluetooth

1902
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 12: and it's great. So I love this little thing.

1903
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:09,719
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the max pro Portable Connected Compact Home. Jim,

1904
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about this powerball gyroscope handheld exerciser because we're

1905
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: all holding our smartphones in our hands and on the keyboard.

1906
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Is this good for that kind of stuff?

1907
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:20,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1908
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 12: I love this. And there's several versions of these, and

1909
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 12: I actually did some videos for them like ten years ago.

1910
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 12: But this is called the Edge. And when I love

1911
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 12: about this, hand grip is everything. Especially as we get older,

1912
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:35,719
Speaker 12: it's really important to keep that finger grip opening jars,

1913
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,760
Speaker 12: opening doors. So the fast that you spin it, the

1914
01:32:38,840 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 12: lights will change. First it goes to blue, which is

1915
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:44,679
Speaker 12: about nine pounds and thirteen hundred RBMs. Then it goes

1916
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 12: to green, which is forty one thirty. Then it goes

1917
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:51,480
Speaker 12: to red, which is twenty seven pounds but six thousand RPMs.

1918
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 12: And then if you get it really going, you hit

1919
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 12: the violet and that's thirty six pounds and eight thousand,

1920
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 12: two hundred. And if you're really super strong, which I'm not,

1921
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 12: you can make go to white, which is like three

1922
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 12: thousands something thirteen thousand rpm. So it's just really fun

1923
01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 12: to do. You can do it with either hand, really.

1924
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: Fun, and it strengthens the muscles in your hands, wrists

1925
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 1: and forearms, which I love. That is uh, I mean,

1926
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 1: it's a great It's one of what's that old thing

1927
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: people used to like that little like grip you know,

1928
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 1: you you know, like your dad would have it, you know, like.

1929
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:25,519
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, the squeegees squeechee.

1930
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

1931
01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 1: It reminds me of like a high tech version of that.

1932
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 1: All right, tell me about the the Withving's body scan,

1933
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: and we're run out of time, so I want to

1934
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 1: be a little quicker with some of these because I

1935
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: want to get there.

1936
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 12: The white thing body scan is really nice, but it

1937
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 12: hits all the biomarkers. So what you do You put

1938
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 12: in your bare feet and you hold up these things.

1939
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 12: It's eight electrodes and they have a wonderful connected out.

1940
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:48,680
Speaker 12: So what you do is you hold these and it

1941
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 12: will tell you if your if your thirsty, will tell

1942
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 12: you your water, your fat, your visceral body fat. Visceral

1943
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 12: body pat is so important because that's the body fat

1944
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 12: in our abdominal cavity and that's very very telling. But

1945
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,200
Speaker 12: it will also give you a cardiogram as well, very

1946
01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:06,640
Speaker 12: very nice, and it will tell you if something is

1947
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 12: wrong or not. It's great for early detection. It'll tell

1948
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 12: you your heart rate, it will tell you your muscle mass,

1949
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 12: your body fat. It's wonderful.

1950
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

1951
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: Is that that sounds like it does more than a

1952
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: smart watch.

1953
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 12: Well, it does, And don't get me wrong, I love

1954
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 12: the smart watches. I wear a Polar because Polar is

1955
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 12: all about heart, and heart's the most important indicator for me.

1956
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,080
Speaker 12: But everyone should wear a fitness device because it's just

1957
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 12: nice to know how far you went equivalent of miles

1958
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 12: and steps and all these things help us.

1959
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,560
Speaker 1: All right, tell me about the Massimo Mighty SAT Bluetooth

1960
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:42,799
Speaker 1: connected digital pulse oxym oximeter pulse oxometers.

1961
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 12: Of the two most important things that you want to

1962
01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 12: know when you put this on is it will tell

1963
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 12: you your blood oxygen level, which is critical if you're trying

1964
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,679
Speaker 12: to diagnose whether you have maybe a flu or something

1965
01:34:55,720 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 12: more serious, because if your blood oxygen rate falls below ninety,

1966
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 12: that means you're about to pass out. If it's like

1967
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,959
Speaker 12: eighty five or eighty four, you're not getting enough oxygen

1968
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 12: in your blood and you're going to probably start experiencing blackouts.

1969
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 12: It also tells you your heart rate as well. The

1970
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 12: reason I like the Masimo is because it's the first

1971
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:18,959
Speaker 12: one that's FDA over the counter cleared. It's a little expensive,

1972
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 12: but they have something called set technology set technology, so

1973
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 12: that means it's going to be deadly accurate even when

1974
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 12: you're exercising. I use it on the treadmill.

1975
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 1: Rich, I don't want to hear the deadly and fitness

1976
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,719
Speaker 1: in the same in the same sentence. There, all right, Finally,

1977
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 1: I know back pain is a huge thing. Give me

1978
01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 1: the hyper hyper ice venom two. Tell me about that.

1979
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:42,920
Speaker 12: Yes, that's wonderful. This is advice that does two things simultaneously.

1980
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 12: When we have back problems and my back goes out

1981
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 12: three times a year, I'm not immune from it because

1982
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 12: I abuse my body my whole life.

1983
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 1: Oh I had this happen once. It is not fun. Remember, Bobo,

1984
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: I came in. You're like, Rich, what's wrong? I could

1985
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 1: barely sit down when this happened.

1986
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 2: Yep, I remember that. Yes, Okay, keep going.

1987
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:00,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, So eighty percent of the population is an experienced

1988
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:02,840
Speaker 12: back pain at some point in their life. So you

1989
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 12: put this on. Heat is the best thing. What I

1990
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,400
Speaker 12: like about this, it's connected and so you could actually

1991
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 12: have the duration and the type of heat you want

1992
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 12: and how long you want it.

1993
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 2: But it does a.

1994
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 12: Special trick up at sleep. It could also give you

1995
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 12: a massage, so that also not only helps loosen the back.

1996
01:36:19,200 --> 01:36:20,880
Speaker 12: But I love it because you don't need any of

1997
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,400
Speaker 12: these over the counter and its allegiance and all these

1998
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 12: types of things that are toxic for our body. And

1999
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 12: I don't like those pads that you put on because

2000
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 12: that's also not good. Everything's absorbed through the skin. So

2001
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 12: this is wonderful. You're bringing heat which relaxes the muscles.

2002
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 12: It will help your back recover quicker.

2003
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:40,880
Speaker 1: All right, here we are Bruce Peckman, the muscleman of technology,

2004
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 1: mister bicep dot com. How much are you gonna work

2005
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: out today? How many how many hours you spend a day?

2006
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 12: Well, I was the radio, was at the gym for

2007
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 12: an hour and fifteen minutes and all I did was

2008
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 12: back and then I'm going to go for my nightly walk.

2009
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 12: Tomorrow morning I'll be out in another gym. I'm going

2010
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,680
Speaker 12: to be doing test and arms. So I trained six

2011
01:36:56,760 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 12: days a week, about an hour an hour and a

2012
01:36:59,360 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 12: half a day.

2013
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's why they call you mister Bicep. You

2014
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: gotta see him. Go to the website mister Bicep dot

Speaker 1: on my website rich on Tech dot TV. Bruce, thanks

2017
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:10,440
Speaker 1: for joining me today.

2018
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 12: Oh my pleasure.

2019
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we're going to open up the feedback.

2020
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 1: See what you've been emailing me this week. We got

2021
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them right here on rich on Tech. Well,

2022
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 1: welcome back to rich on Tech. Rich Demiro here hanging

2023
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 1: out with you, talking technology online at rich on Tech.

2024
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 2: Follow me on Instagram.

2025
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 1: I promise not to trick you with some AI pictures

2026
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:34,479
Speaker 1: like I did last night by accident. I swear it

2027
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: wasn't intentional. Pizza was good, by the way, I always

2028
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,840
Speaker 1: get a message about the pizza I eat because I

2029
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:44,360
Speaker 1: eat New York style in LA and that's not easy

2030
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 1: to find. But I did find a place out here

2031
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 1: that has it, and they nail it. Like I'm talking.

2032
01:37:49,160 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: They get it right. And every time I post a

2033
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 1: picture of people knows it.

2034
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 11: What is it?

2035
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 2: What is I want to see this picture you posted?

2036
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,599
Speaker 1: I'll show you the picture after I have to find

2037
01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:59,760
Speaker 1: you because I deleted it, all right, but I'll text

2038
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,720
Speaker 1: it you Yeah, I mean, come on, who thinks a

2039
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: piece of pizza is as big as the first half

2040
01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,360
Speaker 1: of my torso? But then my kid and I had

2041
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 1: an idea. We're like, we should start a business giant

2042
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:13,559
Speaker 1: pizza slice and it's just one huge pizza slice, all right.

2043
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 1: Before we get to the feedback, couple of items, Apple

2044
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 1: now lets you merge purchases from multiple Apple accounts. This

2045
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: is something that a lot of people have been waiting for.

2046
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 1: If you have like two Apple accounts and you've wanted

2047
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 1: to merge them, you can take all that stuff from

2048
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 1: that secondary account and put it to your primary account,

2049
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: so you can migrate purchases. Mostly media apps, music, movies,

2050
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: TV shows, books all can move over to that primary account.

2051
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:45,719
Speaker 1: Let's see podcast libraries and Apple TV's up next queue

2052
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:48,759
Speaker 1: from the secondary account will overwrite those on the primary.

2053
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting.

2054
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:52,760
Speaker 1: iCloud data does not transfer, so anything stored in the

2055
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 1: secondary account remains separate. After the migration, the secondary account

2056
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: can no longer be used for media purchases. They all

2057
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 1: have to be on with the primary account. But this

2058
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 1: is really nice. It makes it much more simple if

2059
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 1: you had multiple accounts in the past and it's been

2060
01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: bugging you and you want to consolidate them. Now you

2061
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: can YouTube. Can you believe it turns twenty this week? Yes,

2062
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: twenty years old. We are getting old. Twenty years YouTube's

2063
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 1: been around. It feels like it's just getting started. The

2064
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 1: first video was me at the Zoo. So YouTube actually

2065
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 1: launched twenty years ago as a dating site. Yeah, tune

2066
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:33,040
Speaker 1: in hook up, but that didn't work, so they pivoted fast.

2067
01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 1: They uploaded this first video, Me at the Zoo, in

2068
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: April two thousand and five, and of course the rest,

2069
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: as they say, is history. There's been plenty of viral

2070
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 1: videos on YouTube over the years. Google bought them in

2071
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, very quickly after it started, for

2072
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 1: one point six five billion dollars. By the way, that's

2073
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: a little nowadays that they've made that back, or they're

2074
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 1: they're on their way to I mean YouTube. It was

2075
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 1: a very big business. So that was a great, great move.

2076
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 1: Of course, now they've got the pressure from tik tok

2077
01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:07,719
Speaker 1: and the other stuff. All right, let's get to the mailbag.

2078
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Scott from Battle Creek, listening on WBCKFM says, Hey,

2079
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: I was listening to your show and I wanted to

2080
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: correct something about Samsung's tablet lineup. You said the latest

2081
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: and greatest was the S nine, but it's actually the

2082
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 1: S ten. I recently bought an S nine plus and

2083
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,240
Speaker 1: I really like it. Hope this helps.

2084
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 2: Thanks.

2085
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why I said the S nine,

2086
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, S ten is the latest and greatest on

2087
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: the Samsung tablets.

2088
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:33,679
Speaker 2: Let's see here.

2089
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:36,760
Speaker 1: John writes in I caught part of your show where

2090
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 1: you advise someone not to trust a USB drive after

2091
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 1: seeing a corrupt error message. Usually this happens because they

2092
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: didn't eject the drive properly before pulling it out. I

2093
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,839
Speaker 1: used to have this issue for years. Once I started

2094
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: ejecting my drives first, the problems disappeared. I hope your

2095
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 1: listeners don't throw away perfectly good USB drives. It depends

2096
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: on the kind of error, you know. If you're getting,

2097
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,800
Speaker 1: you know you should definitely eject your USB drives. I

2098
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 1: hate that we have to do that, but got it.

2099
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,599
Speaker 1: It's like a necessary evil. I'll be honest, So once

2100
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,639
Speaker 1: in a while, just pull it out without all the act.

2101
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 1: Take that USB drive. Louise from Mission Viejo writes in

2102
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 1: I've been following you on TV for years during COVID,

2103
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 1: you and your family were my only source of comfort. Wow,

2104
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 1: only source you hear that, Bobo. I love seeing your

2105
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: outings and your travels. It was a breath of fresh

2106
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: air no pun intended with COVID happening. As a retired

2107
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: special education teacher, I truly appreciate your clear and easy

2108
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 1: to follow tech advice. Your compassionate and pleasant demeanor makes

2109
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,160
Speaker 1: learning about technology so much easier, especially for my age group.

2110
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 1: Thank you rich for all you do, Bobo. Do you

2111
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: hear that? Changing lives daily basis one day at a time.

2112
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:47,800
Speaker 1: But look at I mean, honestly, Louise, you deserve the star.

2113
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:51,639
Speaker 1: You're a special education teacher that is a special person.

2114
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: You are incredible. Thank you for doing that. And yeah,

2115
01:41:55,479 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 1: really really awesome. Let's see here. Oh my god, this

2116
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: a long one. Uh Okay, here we go. Rosebud. Deborah

2117
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: from San Diego writes in I love your show. I

2118
01:42:06,200 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 1: learned something new every week. I've been journaling for years,

2119
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:11,639
Speaker 1: so I was excited to try the Rosebud app you mentioned.

2120
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: I sign up for the seven day free trial and

2121
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. The AI features are fun and

2122
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:18,760
Speaker 1: interesting and I can already see how I'm benefiting from

2123
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 1: using it. Thank you for sharing on your show, and

2124
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:25,719
Speaker 1: congrats on broadcasting in New York. Deborah, I'm not kidding.

2125
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: Rosebud is the best app I've ever used. If you've

2126
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: ever thought about journaling, give this app a try.

2127
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. Just talk to it.

2128
01:42:34,000 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 1: Just tell it what you're going through, or what your

2129
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: feelings are, or what your thoughts are, or what you're

2130
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 1: excited about. And it is really incredible to see how

2131
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 1: AI can almost act like a therapist or an advisor

2132
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,559
Speaker 1: or confidant. You know, they don't label it as mental health,

2133
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:50,679
Speaker 1: but it is. It really is good for your mental

2134
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 1: health to just put your thoughts out there on paper,

2135
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 1: I guess in this term in this case app, and

2136
01:42:57,439 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: just have it like out there. Just writing it down

2137
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:03,720
Speaker 1: helps you process it. Kathy from Santa Monica writes in

2138
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm happy for your rich You deserve all the success

2139
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:07,799
Speaker 1: in the world. Congrats on New York City.
