WEBVTT - Stuck at home show: New Apple iPad Pro, cheaper MacBook Air

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>New products from Apple, including a new iPad Pro and

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a new MacBook Air. Embracing our new lives at home

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>due to coronavirus, plus your tech questions answered. What's going on?

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rich Damiro and this is Rich on Tech, the

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>podcast where I talk about the tech stuff I think

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you should know about and I answer the questions that

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>you send me. My name is Rich Dmiro, tech reporter

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Joining me is

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>producer Megan. How's it going? Let me bring this down

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and bring you up?

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Hello, you know it's going.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 3>This is an interesting new normal that we're all just

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, adjusting to.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, kind of crazy. I'm in my home, Megan is

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>in her home trying to do this. We're also Facebook

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>living this, so we are saying hello to everyone that's

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>listening on Facebook Live that or I should say, watching

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook Live. And of course I just heard the

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>little comments. So every time someone does one of those

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>little like thumbs up, you hear it on the show anyway,

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's fun. Yeah, there it goes again. So I

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>got to figure out how to get that off anyway. Oh,

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>mute sound effects. There we go. So, how are you adjusting.

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>We are working halfway from the station, halfway home. It's

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>very interesting for sure. Oh no, they're still there. And

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to say. I mean, I've got

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>my kids at home, I've got my wife at home,

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's pretty wild. It's like a very different experience.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I feel like every day it's changing. We're

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>just like, you know, it's just all so crazy.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is crazy. And your whole family home, I'm

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>guessing as well, Yes they are. And then so you know,

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and now California is on this crazy like shutdown. So

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>we were watching that on TV yesterday. I mean, it's

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>just every day it seems like something else changes. Let's

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>get to the first story. New MacBook Air. So I

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>know that tech news has taken sort of a backseat

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to you know, this crazy virus that is, you know,

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>making its way through all of the world. But there

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>was some tech news this week and Apple released a

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>new MacBook Air. Now, normally we'd go up to Cooper

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Tino for a big event and you would, you know,

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>have Tim Cook up on stage. None of that happened

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>because guess what, we're in crazy time. So they just

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>put out a press release. They put out the MacBook

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Air and it's now ninety nine dollars, so got a

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 1>one hundred dollars price cut, it got two times of performance,

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a new keyboard, and twice the storage. So that's the headline,

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and realistically, I think they did a great job of

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>making this a computer that is now very desirable for

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>a student or a college student, because that price point

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>is nine ninety nine, which one hundred dollars cheaper than before.

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Before it was eleven hundred. And the reality is anything

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>over one thousand, mentally is really tough to comprehend, and

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>so nine ninety nine is just a nice magic number, right,

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 1>That's why everything is ninety nine cents, you know, three

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine. But if you're a student, you can actually

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>get this for eight ninety nine, so nine hundred bucks,

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and I get it. That's way more expensive than like

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>your typical five hundred dollars Windows computer, but you're getting

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a Mac and it's really nice magic keyboard, which means

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the keyboard is going to be way better than before.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>It's the keyboard that I use on my current MacBook Pro,

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>which is the Magic keyboard, and it's really good. And

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it also has double storage, so two hundred and fifty

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>six versus one twenty eight. And I think that's all

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>you need to know about it. So there you have it,

0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, Producer Megan, it is time for your first question.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So our first question comes from Claudia Hi Rich.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 3>I saw your story about expanded sell and internet service

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>during the next two months due to COVID nineteen. But

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 3>what about security? What should we be looking for to

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>be safe online? Especially since schools are now online and

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 3>most of our activities exercise to shopping are online. How

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>do we not become a victim during this time of

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>increased accessibility and increased use.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great question, and this is something that I actually

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>am working up a story on. But yes, everyone's working

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>at home and this company, my Fi, they have some

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>executives that I asked this question too because of your

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>email and a couple things. Number one tips to secure

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>your home network, They say Wi Fi access points. You

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>know the SSID like the thing you connect to. They

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>say to change your settings to hide your SSID. So

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>normally in your house at broadcasts, if you go on

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>your phone and you look at all the kind of

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>networks around you, you can see all your neighbor's networks.

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>So of course that's much easier to hack because now

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you can just connect to that network if you can

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>figure out the password, and now you're on the network.

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you hide that SSID, that means that hackers

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>can't see your network. And that doesn't mean they can't

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>detect it, but they can't see it, and so that

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>makes it a little bit tougher for them. Obviously, you

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>want to use Wi Fi Protected Access, so WPA or

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>WPA two if you haven't done that. Make sure that

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>your password on your Wi Fi network is long and

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.159
<v Speaker 1>random so it can't be cracked. Do not use the

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>default password. And this is my favorite. Use a guest

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>network because when I have babysitters come to the house,

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I have them connect to the guest network. The reason

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I do that is because they don't have access to

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>all of the things on my network, which are the

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>smart lights and the computers and the storage, and I

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>don't not that I don't trust them, but it's just

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>easier also to manage those guests that are on your network.

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So that is my recommendation, as well as the recommendation

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>from this company, which is let's see in Sego in

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>sego slash my fi and the other thing that a

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are wondering, do they need a VPN

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>when they're working at home? Don't necessarily need a VPN.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>If your company requires it, obviously you should be using that,

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and in many cases you can't access your company's files

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>unless you're on that VPN. But the reality is for

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>just personal stuff, you probably don't need a VPN. So

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>good question for our first one of the day. All right,

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>let's get to the second story of the day. Apple

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>unveils a new iPad pro.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I told you there was a couple of new products

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>out there, and this is Apple, and this is the

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>iPad pro. So iPad pro is obviously, this is going

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>to appeal to kind of the business traveler, the high

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>end folks. Nobody's business traveling right now. But they're making

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this closer and closer to a good laptop replacement. And

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they're doing a really nice job because the

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>main headline of the iPad pro is that it now

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>has a trackpad support. So now that the keyboard cover

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>has a little trackpad, you know, a little thing you

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>put your fingers on and move them around. And I

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's really crazy because Apple always said like, we

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>would never do that. But of course they've they backtracked

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>on the whole stylus thing. Now they're backtracking on the

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>track pad thing. But the bottom line on the iPad

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Pro is that it has a new chip that's faster.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>They say it's faster than most Windows PC laptops out

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>quite the burn there. It's got an ultra wide camera

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and studio quality mic. So, Megan, if we got these,

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we can convince Katla to get us these iPad pros.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>We can just record our podcast without any external equipment.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>All we need is the iPad Wow, and how cool

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>will that be? So the microphone built in, they're saying,

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>is as good as your studio quality mic that you

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>have right now. It also has LDAR, which is it's

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a a did you hear that? Yeah?

0:07:59.120 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Was that you?

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? That's y U great, that's that's my family. We

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>have this giant group chat on Telegram. And when my

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>family starts chatting, oh boy do they chat. They will

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>chat four hours. It's basically a twenty four to seven chat.

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>So I just muted that one and the lightar on

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the back side of the iPad gives you new augmented

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>reality possibilities. Now, if you're thinking of getting one of

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>these iPad pros and thinking that you might replace your

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>laptop with it, well it's not cheap. The base configuration

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>is an eleven inch for eight hundred bucks, and that

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.719
<v Speaker 1>has one hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage. Then

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 1>you go up to the twelve point nine inch model,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>which is a really nice size for a iPad. That's

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>one thousand bucks. Then then, by the way, Megan, you

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>still have to get the keyboard, so the Magic keyboard

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is three hundred to three point fifty. Then after you

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>get the keyboard, you still have to get the iPad

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>pencil or the Apple pencil. That's another one hundred and

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine. So let's do the math real quick. You

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>were good at math, right, So add this up for

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>me ready eight hundred. This is for the smaller one.

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Eight hundred plus three hundred plus one thirty. That's eleven

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 1>twelve thirty, twelve thirty, twelve hundred and thirty dollars.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Whoa wow, that's a lot. That's a little bitulous.

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I just paid three grand for my MacBook and so

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, and if it could replace everything I could

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>do on there. That's not bad. And I love the

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>idea of having an iPad for everything. This has been

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>my dream. I can't get away from my computer because

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I just love having the file rystem. Yeah, being able

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>to write, and it's just it's just nice. Yeah. But

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I would drop my laptop in a second for an iPad.

0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Drop your laptop, Oh heck yeah, I would totally go

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>full Dropping my laptop is what caused me to get

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>my trade in value went from six fifty to two

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks when they got it because I dropped it

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>once on my desk and there's a tiny little ding,

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>So don't actually drop your laptop.

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>No, A good idea.

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, I think we're getting into the swing of

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>things here.

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Our next question comes from Janet hi Rich. I watch

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 3>you on the morning news regularly. I am a teacher

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 3>and have lots more time to watch.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 2>This weekend, I saw you show.

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 3>A virtual museum tour page that I cannot find on

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>your website or the KTLA website.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Can you help?

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to send it to students and my parents,

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 3>all of whom are looking for things to.

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Do at home.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is a funny thing that happens when you're

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>on TV. By the way, no matter what story that's

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 1>on KTLA, if it has to do with technology, guess

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>who presented it you Yeah, but no matter what, Like

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mention this at all on TV, But no

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>matter whatever tech story that's on there, it's it's me.

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So I look this up and I you know, I

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>actually looked it up in our script system at work

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>to see what was mentioned, and it's actually Google has

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>this thing called arts and Culture. So it's arts and

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Culture dot Google dot com, and there you have. You

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.000

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you can look through, you can explore everything. I mean,

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>there's museums, there are places like here's what's trending this

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>week's most popular skip the queue at the Metropolitan Museum

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.560

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>be touring the met in New York City and you

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>can look at the all the exhibits. There's twenty eight

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>online exhibits, including Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Baroque, v Oz.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds. There's two hundred things you can look

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>at in there. So that's what she was talking about.

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Arts and culture dot Google dot com. And that's pretty cool.

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I I really cool. You know you don't

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>have kids just yet, but let me tell you. Entertaining

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 1>kids at home, I will tell you this is this

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>has been the most amazing part. It's it's very chaok.

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>In my house, obviously, we're all working from home. We

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>do little kids and my kids are doing zoom, my

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>wife is doing zoom on doing a podcast. I mean

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, like the bandwidth you need to get this

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>done is really crazy. But I will tell you the

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>most magical thing is sitting there doing lessons with my kid.

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't really teach my kid. I just let

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the teachers do that. But sitting there doing his review

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>worksheet worksheets, it's kind of amazing to watch to see

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>what your kids know. And that has been really eye

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>opening because watching my kid do math is just really

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>fun as a parent, like, wow, this little kid has

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>like all this knowledge in his head. Like it's kind

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>of cool.

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 2>No, it's fascinating. That's so fun.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So speaking of coronavirus, you know, I call it CV

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>because I hate even saying the word at this point

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>because it's like this thing has affected us in ways

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that like, what the what the heck is going on?

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>But speaking of CV our story on KTLA today, and

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>some of you might notice by the way that I

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>no longer have a personal website. A lot of you

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>been emailing me. I've gone through some changes with that

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and actually today, Megan, what are you drinking over there?

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a oh nice, I'm having some vodka in a

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 1>water bottle.

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh nice. Well that's yeah typical.

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's pretty standard. But it says body armor, so

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>it looks like I'm having something healthy. No, I'm just kidding.

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>It's actually just water. It's just water. But this water

0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 1>bottle is unique because it's really meant for like athletes

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>because look at that wide opening, so you can like

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>really get like a lot of water at once. So

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like really to quench your thirst. And

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I've literally done minimal workouts since I've been stranded here.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, that's that's I did. I actually did the

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the Planet Fitness online workout that they're doing their live

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>streaming at like seven pm every day, So I put

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>up YouTube and like I just did the workout just

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:52.959
<v Speaker 1>to try it out. So We're going to do a

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 1>story on all these fitness companies that are doing at

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>home workouts. It was great and it wasn't really hard,

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>but it was great. And then today I'll probably go

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>for a run. But the Planet Fitness people were telling

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>me that they actually have tanning beds in their gyms.

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>So they were like, oh, Planet Fitness sucks because they

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>have tanning beds, which I had to look up, which

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I think is kind of odd in today's day and

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.679
<v Speaker 1>age for like, you know, you know all this stuff

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 1>about tanning. I mean, you went through the tanning face,

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>what you went through your tanning bed face? But you've

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>given that up, right, I've.

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Never I've never done it.

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You've never done that. I'll advance actually did it once.

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I did it once, and it was when I when

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I first started at KTLA. I moved from oh no,

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>sorry k Cal, I think it was, and I moved

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>from like the middle of nowhere, and I felt like

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't fit in in LA without a tan and

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>so actually I actually went once and it was like

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the most humiliating experience. I never did it again. But

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>now they just now.

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I realize, well now I realized they just give you

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 4>the you know, the bronzer, Yeah, the bronze or whatever,

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 4>and they can do whatever they want in the makeup room.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's right. Okay, So some of the freebies

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>companies are offering. This was our story on KTLA. And

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>by the way, if you want to see my new

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of new website thing, it's uh uh what is

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it? It's links dot rich on tech dot tv. So you

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>can check it out, Megan. It's actually kind of cool.

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I set it up today and I'm now paying like

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like six bucks a month for this

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>little website. But it really it's nice. It's like very

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>well designed, it's simple, but it just gets you to

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>because my whole thing, and this is to kind of

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>complete the story my whole My whole thing about rich

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>on tech dot TV was to make it easy for

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>viewers when they see me on TV to find my story.

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>And we are on a whole bunch of different stations

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>across America, and so that's why I can't necessarily say

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>KTLA dot com slash tech because that'll bring you to

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>our story. So the whole thing of rich on tech

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>dot TV was that I wanted to make sure people

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>can find the stories I mentioned, because it's my pet

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>peeve when you see someone on TV say, oh, just

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>go to our website and find the story, and you can't.

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:03.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's why did it. Okay. So here's a

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of things that I talked about today on TV

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that you can get for free while you're stuck at home.

<v Speaker 1>will let you send up to a ten gigabyte file,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and that's pretty large, so oh wow. You know, if

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you need to send a file for work or whatever,

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>that's there. Trip it Pro. If all your all my

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>flights have been canceled in the next couple of months

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>are changed, trippet Pro will actually help you keep track

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>of that, and you can get a free subscription to

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that right now for six months if you sign up

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>before March thirty first. Peloton, I don't have a Peloton bike.

0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>In fact, the exercise bike that I talked about in

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>this podcast that I ordered is it's like so back

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>ordered that it's like, what's going on here? And if

0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>this would have been perfect timing, but it's still not arrived,

0:16:59.000 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so I haven't done well.

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 2>What was it called? The bike that you you ordered?

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The bike that I ordered was the Bowflex C six,

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>And I also noticed they raise the price on it,

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.879
<v Speaker 1>so demand must be so high that they actually up

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the price by fifty bucks. So when I ordered it, it

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 1>was eight ninety nine. Now it's nine hundred and fifty dollars,

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 1>so oh WOWK Peloton, you can use the Peloton app.

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>They're giving that free for thirty days or for ninety days.

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Normally it's thirty, it's ninety. Then there's an app called

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Caribou cr Ibu. This lets you connect your kids on

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a virtual plate eate so you can connect this with

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>grandma and you can read a book across the app,

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>so it's kind of like FaceTime, but you can read

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>a book. So talk about that for a second, Meggan,

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna clear my throat here, so give your

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 3>I think that's so cute that you can like read

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 3>a book with your grandma or your aunt or your uncle.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 3>Are your kids using that.

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Are you still clearing it?

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 1>They are not. They have not used it, but I

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 1>may try it. The problem is getting your kids. Getting

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>grandma to install that app is probably the biggest challenge.

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>But the mark on the Facebook chat says, what was

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the new website for Rich? I Eventually it'll just still

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be rich on tech dot tv, but it'll bring you

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to this other website. But just go to links dot

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>rich on tech dot tv and that should bring you

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to the new site. It's pretty cool, so just I

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.639
<v Speaker 1>mean it should some people. Here's the problem with the website.

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.680
<v Speaker 1>If you went to my old website and you try

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 1>to go to rich on tech dot tv, it's currently

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>giving you an error because your browser is thinking it's

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>not finding the redirect. But if you're new and you've

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:36.959
<v Speaker 1>never been to my website and you go to rich

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>on tech dot tv, it should work and bring you

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>to the new one. But if you just go to

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 1>links dot rich on tech dot tv, that's working all right.

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>The other thing is kina do k I n E edu.

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>This one's really good. If you have really little kids

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 1>under four, you type in their age and all their

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff and their day to birth and it will give

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you activities for them daily, which is kind of cool.

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.919
<v Speaker 1>Sling TV is encouraging folks to stay and sling. This

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like their Netflix and Chill. You can

0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>actually watch a whole bunch of stuff on their website

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 1>without logging in or signing up. It's watch dot sling

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>dot com and no sign up, really easy Headspace. They're

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 1>giving their meditation app free to any teacher in the

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>US and healthcare professionals. And we actually messed up a

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.439
<v Speaker 1>little bit about Megan with our tags today. With our wraps,

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned the healthcare professionals only, and I actually kind

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>of got that wrong. It's all teachers as well. So

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.120
<v Speaker 1>if you have a teacher or a school administrator or

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.600
<v Speaker 1>any support staff in the US, if you work at

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a school, you basically get Headspace for free. And I

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.199
<v Speaker 1>would say one hundred percent get that because I like that.

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And yes, Courtney recommends clear cash and cookies and then

0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 1>rich on tech dot tv will work. I tried that

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on my computer. It's still not working. I think I

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>have to do a full reset on my browser. Apple

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 1>News Plus not necessarily anything special for the free trial.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Well it's just a month, but they have all kinds

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of magazines, and I would say, if you have never

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 1>done one of the Apple News Plus subscriptions for free,

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>take advantage right now. Thirty days is amazing. So that's

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. And then Go Noodle has some free stuff

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 1>as well. We've featured one of their things. But the

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Sling TV experience is really cool. It's the real deal.

0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not bad at all. Molin says, I

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>am a teacher. Can you type in the link? Yes?

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Let me see if I can do this. So let's

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 1>go to links dot rich On. I had like a

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 1>little tiny browser and it's not working. So here, I

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>think I can actually go in here and type stuff.

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think I can comment if I comment here,

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 1>if I add a comment, boom, Let's see if that works.

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Did that work?

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I can add things to the broadcast too, which is

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool. So oh, I forgot that I can

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>actually do this. Watch this, Megan, Are you watching the broadcast?

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm watching on my phone. It's just it's delayed

0:20:59.640 --> 0:20:59.879
<v Speaker 3>for me.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 1>See that now it's gonna It's got that. I forgot

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that I can do this. This is actually part of

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the most fun thing. So if you go to there

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and then click on the first story, it will have it.

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.679
<v Speaker 1>I have like one hundred thousand windows open right now,

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>so it's tough for me to do anything. But I

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 1>think it's working. I mean I think people are there.

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 2>It loaded on my phone.

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, perfect, Okay, you know what that sound means. And

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 1>if you guys type in the wittiest comments, I'll start

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>putting them on screen too. So do we lose Megan though?

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, we lost you and I did that there

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>were You're back?

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm back, yep, okay.

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 3>This next question comes from Cynthia. I have several old

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 3>computer laptops that I don't know what to do with.

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I seem to recall you.

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh, hold on, Megan, it's saying there. It's echoing, So

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 1>if you want, I don't know if you're oh I

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>see hold on, let me see something. Okay, I think

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 1>uh oh we lost Megan. Okay, echo, echo echo, Okay,

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 1>something happened here when I did that. I don't know

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.919
<v Speaker 1>what happened. Are you you're not on your phone? Is it?

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 1>If you're watching this on somewhere else, maybe just close

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 1>that out? Okay, if you're watching the broadcast, Okay, I

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>don't hear an echo about now. I don't hear it,

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know why I have.

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Everything off now Okay, should I go ahead?

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Or yeah? Go ahead?

0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 3>This next question comes from Cynthia. I have several old

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 3>computer laptops that I don't know what to do with.

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 3>I seem to recall a story you covered about recycling

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 3>your laptops for seniors, or maybe it was a senior

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.919
<v Speaker 3>recycling laptops for others. I'm concerned about data on these

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 3>laptops being stolen or something like that. What would you recommend?

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this is a yeah, I think. I think

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.239
<v Speaker 1>what happened was the when I did the scene. When

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I changed the scene, it messed up. Okay. Uh So

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the question is you have an old laptop, what do

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.679
<v Speaker 1>you do? And the reality is when you get rid

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of an old computer, you want to be really careful

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>with that because you know someone can get the data

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>off that computer if you don't dispose of it in

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a good way. So the number one thing I talked

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 1>about is to if you go to Best Buy, they

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 1>will actually recycle your computers for free. And this is

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>something they do nationwide and I have not personally brought

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 1>something there. To get recycled. But you kind of have

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to trust them. They have on their website if you

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 1>go to best Buy Recycling, they do have a way

0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>to They do have some like instructions on how to

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>wipe the data from your hard drive, and I'm going

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to look at that right now. So wiping your hard

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>drive is an advanced procedure. If you don't feel comfortable

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>doing it, you can schedule an appointment to bring your

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>computer into a Best Buy and have a geek squad

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:51.719
<v Speaker 1>agent handle the process. Now I don't know if they

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>charge for that process. But the problem is now most

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 1>of the new programs like the Max and the Windows

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 1>computers have this built in, but the average person's not

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 1>going to want to do this themselves. So my idea

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is you either have to trust them to do it themselves,

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 1>or you can find a geek that you know, like

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a nerd, that can help you do that. But what

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I've done in the past is I've actually taken the

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>hard drives out of my computer and I still have

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>them sitting here in my garage and I kind of

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.160
<v Speaker 1>took a hammer to them. You can do that, but again,

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 1>this is the main thing. Now, I will tell you

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I did bring my mom's computer to Staples. They will

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>also recycle stuff, and they say that they will take

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 1>care of it. They do say that they will get

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>rid of the stuff on the hard drive buy themself,

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:41.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, in a responsible manner, and realistically, if you

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>have kids, I say kids, because usually the geek squad people,

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, some of them are probably young. Hopefully they're

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>following the instructions and hopefully you can trust them to

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 1>bring it in there. If I was running best by,

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I would have these best practices in place and say, look,

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.159
<v Speaker 1>we don't go in and we don't unlock people's computers,

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and we don't take the hard drive contents, we don't

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>go through them. But you never know. I mean, there's

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people out there in America, so you

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.439
<v Speaker 1>just never know, hopefully of good people doing that. But

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the person specifically that I think she was asking about

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>was the Laptop Elf project. And if you google laptop

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Elf project, you'll see the story that we did. Just

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>google laptop Elf KTLA and you can see the story

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that we did on this guy in Redondo Beach that

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>will happily he's a nerd. He will happily take your

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>computer and dispose of it or recycle it or erase it,

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever you need to do. So, yeah, it's a good question. Wow,

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this podcast is really painful because doing

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the podcast is one thing. Doing the live is another one.

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Because the live is like it's like either you're doing

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:48.959
<v Speaker 1>a live show or you're doing a podcast. And this

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.200
<v Speaker 1>is what I used to do, and this is why

0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I kind of went from doing the live to the

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.239
<v Speaker 1>podcast only because live is like a different beast than

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast live. I'm looking at comments, I'm kind of

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>like responding, I'm moving a million things in my computer.

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But the podcast is the podcast, So you know, look,

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>we're all trying to figure this out. You know, we're

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>all Corona in here.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Learning experience.

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And since you're inside, I kind of want to mention

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people are wondering about this whole

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi situation. I know, Megan, you were telling me

0:26:19.960 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the Wi Fi situation at your home, or as the

0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>kids say, the Wi Fi sitch is pretty.

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Bad and it's really bad.

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everyone is realizing this because number one, you have

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things going on. People are taxing their

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi systems to the limit. It's like you're using

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>more devices than you ever have in your home with

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>more people, So that's a problem. And then also the

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi itself, if you're using just the Wi Fi

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>router that is given to you by Spectrum or your

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>internet provider, it's not going to be very good. And

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like us, like you, and so so in your

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>home you have just the Spectrum WiFi router and it's

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.120
<v Speaker 1>just it's trying to reach the entire house, right right.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 3>But also my dad's computer is plugged into the Internet

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and it's not working for him.

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Well it's and that's the other and that's the other side.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's the part B is that Spectrum Internet is

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>really being taxed right now across everywhere in Los Angeles.

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's it's bad in a lot of places.

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And ours actually was out the other day. There's there's

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:23.680
<v Speaker 1>some sort of outage that a lot of people had

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.359
<v Speaker 1>to deal with as well, including us, and so I

0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:28.159
<v Speaker 1>was scrambling. I told my wife to set up one

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of our phones as a Wi Fi hotspot, and she

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:34.480
<v Speaker 1>did that. But that's, you know, something to keep in mind. Anyway,

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I say all this because it might be time to

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.879
<v Speaker 1>consider getting one of these new mesh Wi Fi networking systems,

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>which I've talked about extensively, and the one that I

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>use is called Ero, but there's another one called Google

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Nest Wi Fi, and Android Police says it's on sale

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 1>right now for one hundred and ninety nine bucks and

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 1>that includes a router and an additional access point and

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.719
<v Speaker 1>the way the way that works. So like, for instance,

0:27:58.760 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>in your place, Megan, And remember we talked about this,

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't we, And it was a little bit expensive, so

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you weren't ready to drop that money just yet. But

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>from one ninety nine and maybe you can expense it,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean it might be expensible.

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I actually wait, so you you think Google Wi Fi.

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Over euro well for one ninety nine and Google Wi

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Fi is fantastic. And so if you have the you

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>put the router by your you know, where your internet

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.320
<v Speaker 1>comes in, and you put this little access point somewhere

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>else in your house, and it creates a nice network

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>that kind of envelopes your entire house in a you know,

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>in real nice internet. And I would recommend it anyway.

0:28:39.680 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I would recommend just if you're listening and you're having

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>problems with all this stuff, it might be the time

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to kind of look into a new setup. So uh oh,

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I hear doors opening. That could be bad. All right,

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Megan question.

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I just asked a question, but I can oh you did.

0:28:57.160 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I thought I just gave the Wi Fi thing.

0:28:59.360 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that was the.

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Response to the Oh okay, well here's your question.

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember. Oh no, the laptop thing. That was different. Oh.

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Martha asks, by the way, on the live stream, well,

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>wi Fi extenders help, especially with streaming. I don't recommend

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the Wi Fi extenders anymore. We did recommend those a

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago. They're just not good anymore. So

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'll just do a couple questions here. Courtney Rogers says,

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I've Verizon FiOS. Is fiber optic Internet better for those

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 1>with new Internet challenges? Better for these new Internet challenges. Yes,

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that Verizon FiOS would be fantastic. I was

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 1>actually thinking of getting my Internet switched over to I

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>can get one gig at and T where I live,

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think I might actually do that. And Vanessa says,

0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 1>what about the Netgear Wi Fi Extender? I would not

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>recommend the Netgear extenders anymore at this point, because, yeah,

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just I think that these mesh networks have really

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>done a better job, and mine has actually worked great

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in my house. It's it's, you know, it's it's been

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>able to absorb all these new things, but it's still

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>there's a limit to this, right, So okay, and let

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>me just do one more thing. I know everyone's using

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Zoom and a lot of people are wondering how to

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 1>change your Zoom background. So see if you'd see my

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>background right now, I'm in my dining room. It's got

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got candles behind me and like these

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 1>little weird things that I put up like five years

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>ago and I moved in that I should probably change.

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's not the best background for like work. But

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the reality is everyone's trying to figure out where they can,

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, use a broadcast background for their home, and

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 1>it's tricky sometimes if you don't have a dedicated space

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and so on Zoom, you can change your background to

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>something custom and fun. I did a little Facebook video,

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 1>or I did Facebook and Instagram, So find me at

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>rich on Tech on Instagram. You can see how you

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>do it. But you kind of go into the Zoom

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 1>settings and you choose the virtual background option and you

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 1>can change it to a different background, and you can

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 1>also upload your own background. And apparently that only works

0:30:59.120 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>if you have the Zoom up downloaded. It does not

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>work if you are trying to use the Zoom like

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>web thing. All right, Megan, you're turning.

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:16.440
<v Speaker 3>This next question comes from Tracy. Hello, please inform me

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 3>on the way to shut down callers after you've done

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 3>a search for insurance companies. I've gotten dozens of calls

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 3>from insurance companies asking if I need insurance help.

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I did the same exact thing. I did a one

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of those quotes from Oh Gosh. I think it was

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 1>policy genius and it was great, and the guy was

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>very nice, but he kept calling and calling and calling,

0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just every time he called, I would not

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>be in a place to like think about life insurance, right,

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who wants to think about that? Like I'm

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>out at the park with my kids and this guy,

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:52.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's like, hey, here's the Zoom. This is

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the official Zoom. And actually a lot of people have

0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>had trouble because Zoom. It's kind of weird because it

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>does not say to download Zoom, Like there's no there's

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>no download button on the main website. Which is really odd.

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So that because they want you to run this in

0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 1>your browser. But here is this is a link to

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the actual zoom. It's Zoom dot us slash download Zoom

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 1>dot us slash download anyway. Uh okay, So the question.

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Was what the question was about insurance companies?

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Yeah, how to block all these calls? So if

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you did it from a legitimate company, like a policy genius,

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you can go on their website or simply ask the

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>person that's calling you to stop calling, and they will

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>do that if you go to one of these other

0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>See the problem with all these insurance websites that you

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>hear advertisements for on the radio and stuff is that

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>they're mostly aggregator sites, and they are once you put

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:48.479
<v Speaker 1>in your information, like your phone number, they are pinging

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that out to so many different people and they're all

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 1>calling you. And so that's a little bit tougher to

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of manage. But on your phone, on your iPhone,

0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you can block callers manually, or you can do something

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:04.360
<v Speaker 1>like you can go into the iPhone settings and you

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 1>can turn off all of the unknown callers. It'll send

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>them directly to voicemail. And that's like kind of something

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you probably don't want to do unless you're really getting

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of calls, but it's something that's an option.

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was really cool, Megan. You know, we're

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>all home and we're all home bound, and we're trying

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to find stuff to watch, and everyone is blasted through

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>every episode of Love is Blind, and so now they're

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>looking for other garbage to watch on Netflix, and there's

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>just not that much because they're not producing anymore. Right,

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 1>So the trash on Netflix is like is at an

0:33:35.240 --> 0:33:37.600
<v Speaker 1>all time low. It's like a tiny trash heap. Now.

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Netflix used to be a giant trash heap. Now it's

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>just tiny. Do you like how I trash Netflix?

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I know what?

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 3>And also The Bachelor they had to delay shooting just.

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't watch it. Just because I don't watch

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Netflix shows. I just like to trash

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>them because everyone in the world is watching Netflix, so

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I just like to fine, it's fine, but it's a

0:33:57.240 --> 0:33:59.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of let's be honest, it's a lot of trying

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:02.680
<v Speaker 1>to hunt for something to watch. And sometimes it's good,

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's not very good. But I joke, Netflix is amazing.

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I just don't personally watch a lot of stuff on Netflix,

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you read, I read, I like to read, so, but

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I do like to watch movies. And Fandango Now sent

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 1>me a little notice that said Pixars Onward is gonna

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 1>be available today for streaming, like for buying for twenty bucks.

0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Which this just came out in the movie theater three

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago or two weeks ago, I should say March six,

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>so two weeks. They're like, look, we know everyone's cooped up,

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 1>they're not going to the movies. We're just gonna let

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:37.279
<v Speaker 1>you buy this for twenty bucks. Now, twenty dollars rent

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to buy a movie sounds like a lot, but not

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>really when you think about the price of a movie ticket,

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're bringing kids and popcorn. So I was

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 1>already to download Onward tonight for twenty bucks, and then

0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>someone tweeted me and told me that it's actually gonna

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 1>be on Disney Plus early in two weeks. Oh no,

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.319
<v Speaker 1>so you're talking it's gonna don't buy it. Well, I

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 1>still feel like twenty bucks is a good deal, but

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I get it like right now with the whole economy

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and situation, like I'm kind of like, you know, the

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 1>less money spending, the better. But Fandango now is actually

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 1>giving everyone twenty percent off movies and TV show transactions

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:15.800
<v Speaker 1>for the first thirty days if you have a new account,

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:18.759
<v Speaker 1>So that brings the price down to twenty percent off

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of twenty bucks is four dollars off. That's sixteen dollars. Wow.

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm kind of into that anyway. The other movie

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to watch that also came out early as

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Invisible Man, and we talked about this last week. Remember,

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 1>so Ray Anthony says Onward is going to be on

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Disney Plus on April third, So I have to wait

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 1>another two weeks, but I don't I'm tempted. I think

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I might get it tonight for twenty bucks. It's if

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't find another movie that's streaming that's free, I

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:46.920
<v Speaker 1>might have to just open my wallet and do that, right.

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like you should just do it.

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually I'm surprised we have. We've gotten through this

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 1>entire podcast without saying coronavirus that many times.

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 2>I know, it's a nice break.

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It is a nice break because because let's be honest,

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it is just it's downright insane what's happening right now.

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Like yesterday, I watched the Mayor Talk and say that

0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>LA was on lockdown. Not lockdown, that's not the right

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>word to use. It's safer at home. And then all

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden we get the governor like he's like,

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:19.919
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'll see I'll see your safe at home,

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, and I'll raise you the entire state. And

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>now it's like the entire state is safer at home.

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Now they're not like they're not putting military and police

0:36:27.600 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 1>outside my front door and saying you can't leave your

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 1>house and you can still go on walks and you

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:34.799
<v Speaker 1>can still you saw I tweeted last night about the

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>fact that marijuana dispensaries are still on the list of

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>approved places to go.

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm a little bit confused by that.

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I just love that, Like you can't go you know,

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't go anywhere, but you know the pot shop.

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, We're look, it's California. We understand you have needs. Yeah,

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.320
<v Speaker 1>but I did see that personal grooming was on there,

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:01.239
<v Speaker 1>so I think haircuts you should be able to get in,

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>like nail salon's. Like have you seen that meme that's

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>going around of everyone's going to know everyone's true like

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>roots and likes and stuff.

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Like it's so funny. I love that.

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was pretty funny too. I got a haircut.

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 2>You're still gonna get your haircut?

0:37:15.040 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I got my haircut. You know, I get it

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>done every three weeks, and I got I got it

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:22.560
<v Speaker 1>done right before this whole shutdown. So but the place

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I go to is actually closed. I got like an

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>email from them, so I don't know. I may have to.

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I did cut Parker's hair last night here at home,

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>so really yeah, because and then my wife, I told

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 1>her not to get a haircut right before because I

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:39.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, you don't want to be in a hair

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:42.759
<v Speaker 1>salon right before this whole thing's happening. And now she's

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.680
<v Speaker 1>mad at me because she could have had her hair

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:49.279
<v Speaker 1>done and she missed her window. So I don't know.

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:49.839
<v Speaker 1>It's kind.

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I was supposed to go on Wednesday and I canceled.

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 1>You canceled, and now that's all.

0:37:55.239 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 3>I canceled Monday, and then on Tuesday she was like, yeah,

0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that's better, because it's just it's.

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Not right now.

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 3>It's just like, you know, you're not really supposed to

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 3>just like be around a lot of people, you know.

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Longtime listener Mike Lamone I think that's how you say it.

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:13.279
<v Speaker 1>He said he got his hair cut yesterday and they

0:38:13.280 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 1>closed today. So and Rick Feldman look at this. He

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>has offered to cut my hair. But I only know

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 1>one style, and I assume that style is like the

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:23.520
<v Speaker 1>buzz where that's what I want to do with my

0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:28.319
<v Speaker 1>kid yesterday, where you just buzz like everything. But I

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't do that because the trimmer I had it was

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>fine for like sideburns, but when I tried to like

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>actually do anything more like turn out to be not

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 1>as substantial as I thought. So I will be ordering

0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:40.759
<v Speaker 1>a one of those like real buzzer things off Amazon,

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna have my kids they're gonna have buzz

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>cuts by the end of the week. I can't wait.

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 3>But it'll take like two months to get to you.

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Right now, Amazon taking forever.

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I know. It's like everything that we used to get

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:54.880
<v Speaker 1>like next day, same day is definitely I ordered stuff

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>on let's see, Wednesday night, and it's it's coming here

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:01.799
<v Speaker 1>like Tuesday and Wednesday, so that's almost like I'll look

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:03.879
<v Speaker 1>at that, and Mike confirmed that's how you say it.

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Lemone got it. That's a cool last name. It's

0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Lemon, but Lemone?

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Is it Limon?

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Maybe it's Lemon Limon. Yeah, you know, I'm only

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:16.560
<v Speaker 1>on TV, but I can't really speak. I can't pronounce things,

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but that happens. All right. That's gonna do it for

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the podcast if you can believe it. Let me see

0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 1>if this even works. Oh it does. That's gonna do

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.040
