Speaker 1: Google and Facebook take on Zoom, a new robot just
Speaker 1: for kids. Plus one of my favorite Android apps for
Speaker 1: wallpapers makes its way to the iPhone. Finally, Plus your
Speaker 1: tech questions answered. What's going on? I'm Rich d'miro and
Speaker 1: this is Rich on Tech, the podcast where I talk
Speaker 1: about the tech stuff I think you should know about.
Speaker 1: Plus it's the place where I answer the questions that
Speaker 1: you send me. My name is Rich Damiro, tech reporter
Speaker 1: at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Usually producer Megan
Speaker 1: is joining me on the show, and I know she
Speaker 1: wasn't there last week. She's not here this week spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: but I do believe she will be back next week.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but the at home thing
Speaker 1: has been challenging. I think this is week number six,
Speaker 1: going on seven, and I feel like we've gone through
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs. Like at the beginning,
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, oh, this is cool, this
Speaker 1: is different. Oh this is really sad, this is really depressing.
Speaker 1: Oh this is actually not bad. I can deal with it.
Speaker 1: But at this point we're all sort of at a
Speaker 1: plateau of where like, Okay, we've figured this out. We're
Speaker 1: not driving. I filled up my car with gas yesterday
Speaker 1: for the first time in six weeks. I mean, that
Speaker 1: is just unheard of. I've been working from home, as
Speaker 1: you see on KTLA five Morning News, working from the
Speaker 1: spare room, and you know, the kids are right next door.
Speaker 1: So it's been very disruptive, but at the same time,
Speaker 1: there's been some benefits and that is kind of the uh,
Speaker 1: the fun nature of things like as a family. But
Speaker 1: I have learned one thing about myself, and I think
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in a previous podcast, But what I've
Speaker 1: learned about myself is that I really crave routine. And
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is that I actually find
Speaker 1: myself getting very stressed out throughout the day because normally,
Speaker 1: when I'm going into the office at KTLA, I have
Speaker 1: a pretty standard routine. I get to work, I prep
Speaker 1: for my live shots, I do my live shots, I
Speaker 1: answer my emails in that time, and then I write
Speaker 1: a story and I go out and I shoot a
Speaker 1: story and then I go home. Well, with working from home,
Speaker 1: all of that is sort of changed and now I
Speaker 1: get up, I still do my live shots in the morning,
Speaker 1: but I also take a little break where I go
Speaker 1: have breakfast in my kitchen and I make like a
Speaker 1: hot breakfast, which I've never done before. But then I
Speaker 1: do something with the kids, then I do some more work,
Speaker 1: then I come back. Then I do my podcast and
Speaker 1: I prep then I come back, and so it's much
Speaker 1: more a much more elongated day. So finally by five PM,
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I am done. I'm done with my computer.
Speaker 1: I'm closing my laptop and I'm going to pick up
Speaker 1: again the next day. So I kind of realized that
Speaker 1: I enjoy routine, and I'm sure that you're realizing something
Speaker 1: about yourself as well through this whole thing. So we
Speaker 1: will make it through, folks, Yes we will, all right.
Speaker 1: One of the big stories of this week is that
Speaker 1: everyone wants to capture some of the magic that Zoom
Speaker 1: has been able to capture on its own. I mean,
Speaker 1: Zoom went from something that I used maybe once or
Speaker 1: twice in the past to do like a briefing with
Speaker 1: a tech company, to something that you know, we're all
Speaker 1: using on a deal basis. And Zoom went from you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of people using its service to a real
Speaker 1: lot of people using its service. It's become a proprietary eponym.
Speaker 1: When you want to do a video call with someone,
Speaker 1: you say, we're zooming no matter what service you're using.
Speaker 1: And it's so crazy because we've seen FaceTime in the past.
Speaker 1: There's so many options for video chatting, but Zoom somehow
Speaker 1: won and so now other companies want to win as well.
Speaker 1: And so this week Google said that they're making meet,
Speaker 1: which is their premium video meeting offering free to everyone.
Speaker 1: This is something that you had to have a school
Speaker 1: account or a paid business account, or maybe not even paid,
Speaker 1: but just some sort of business account to get access to.
Speaker 1: And now Google says, you know what, everyone can have
Speaker 1: access to this, which I think is pretty cool because
Speaker 1: there are some benefits to Google versus Zoom, and most
Speaker 1: of these companies are really getting zoom on security and
Speaker 1: also those time limits. So if you're on a regular
Speaker 1: Zoom account, like if you don't have one through your
Speaker 1: work or school, there is a forty minute limit on
Speaker 1: group video chats. Now, if you're one to one there
Speaker 1: is no limit. So if you're just on with one friend,
Speaker 1: you might have noticed, okay, Rich, there's no limit. It's
Speaker 1: when you're on a group call. So with Google you
Speaker 1: can have up to one hundred people on a group
Speaker 1: call unlimited time only through September thirtieth, though, so they're
Speaker 1: kind of hedging their bets here, so you'll get sixty
Speaker 1: minutes after that. But still this is pretty cool. And
Speaker 1: what Google is saying is that they're a bit more
Speaker 1: secure than Zoom. They don't allow anonymous users, so you
Speaker 1: have to have a Google account. The codes, like the
Speaker 1: meeting codes are complex by default, which means people can't
Speaker 1: just zoom bomb and I think zoom is kind of
Speaker 1: patched that whole a lot in recent weeks, but still
Speaker 1: it was a sore spot. They say that their video
Speaker 1: meetings are encrypted in transit. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: means end to end. Transit means in transit, not necessarily
Speaker 1: end to end. And they don't require a browser plug in.
Speaker 1: So Zoom does this. It plays a little game with
Speaker 1: you where we need try to join. It tries to
Speaker 1: make you download the software even though it can run
Speaker 1: in the browser, and Google says it's not going to
Speaker 1: play that game. Also, Facebook, they're doing their part. They're
Speaker 1: introducing something called Messenger rooms, and I find that this
Speaker 1: could be popular because everyone has a Facebook account, everyone
Speaker 1: knows Facebook, and messenger rooms lets you set up a
Speaker 1: room where up to fifty people can hang out with
Speaker 1: no time limit, and so, for instance, on my rich
Speaker 1: on Tech Facebook page, I can have a room where
Speaker 1: rich on Tech folks can just hang out and sometimes
Speaker 1: I'd pop in, sometimes I'd be there, sometimes I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be there, But overall, it's just a room that's kind
Speaker 1: of always there. It's a persistent room. So let's say
Speaker 1: you're a principal at a school, maybe you have a
Speaker 1: room where your students can just pop in, or you're
Speaker 1: the guidance counselor or at work even you know, I
Speaker 1: just have my Facebook messenger room open all day long.
Speaker 1: So that's going to happen. It hasn't happened just yet,
Speaker 1: but they are rolling it out over the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see the messenger rooms. Both of these
Speaker 1: video chat off, of course, are doing what I call
Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch style, the grid view, which I think
Speaker 1: is really the magic of Zoom is seeing everyone on
Speaker 1: that one page is kind of like the fun part
Speaker 1: of it, all those little thumbnails of people. So I
Speaker 1: think that that's a pretty cool, a pretty cool feature
Speaker 1: that a lot of people like about Zoom. And we'll
Speaker 1: be watching I can't wait to try both Google Meet
Speaker 1: and also Facebook Messenger rooms. Oops, wrong one. There we go.
Speaker 1: All right. That is normally when producer Megan would come
Speaker 1: in with a question, but since I'm doing it, I'm
Speaker 1: doing the question. So here we go. Rich love your show.
Speaker 1: Watch you all the time. This has been an annoying issue.
Speaker 1: I can't figure out. I have an iPhone ten with
Speaker 1: an Apple Watch. When I receive messages on a group
Speaker 1: text that I have silenced on my phone, I still
Speaker 1: get notifications on my watch. I don't want to silence
Speaker 1: all my notifications, just the group to my watch. Can
Speaker 1: this be done? Thank you for your time, Lee. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing this is not Leo Laporte asking me for a
Speaker 1: tech help. I think this is a different Leo. But
Speaker 1: my answer to this would be to check in your
Speaker 1: Apple Watch settings. There is a setting in the Apple
Speaker 1: Watch app on your phone that says mirror my iPhone,
Speaker 1: and at some point you might have switched your settings
Speaker 1: so that your notifications on your watch are not mirrored
Speaker 1: to your iPhone. That is my best guess, and I've
Speaker 1: actually done this on my Apple Watch because historically I
Speaker 1: really liked my Apple Watch would go into airplane mode
Speaker 1: when I switched my phone into airplane mode. But then
Speaker 1: I realized, because I often am carrying an Android phone
Speaker 1: as well, that I'm testing that sometimes I wouldn't want
Speaker 1: my watch to go into airplane mode because I'd still
Speaker 1: want to get my I messages on my watch. So
Speaker 1: I actually turned off that feature that mirrors my settings
Speaker 1: on my iPhone. On my Apple Watch. Most people want
Speaker 1: to keep it that way, and the default is to
Speaker 1: keep it that way. That's the way Apple, you know,
Speaker 1: out of the box, has it set up. But I think, Leo,
Speaker 1: at some point you change that, maybe when you're just
Speaker 1: playing with the settings on your Apple Watch or your
Speaker 1: iPhone and you just change that. And now that you
Speaker 1: have noticed this issue of these text messages notifying your
Speaker 1: phone even when you silence them on your sorry, on
Speaker 1: your watch, even when you silence them on your phone,
Speaker 1: I think that that's the problem. So that's what I
Speaker 1: would look into see if it helps. I think it will,
Speaker 1: and that that would be my advice. Another gadget launched
Speaker 1: this week the Google Pixel Buds. This is Google's answer
Speaker 1: to the air pods, and this is not their first
Speaker 1: try at these. They actually had a pair of Google
Speaker 1: Pixel Buds I don't know if it was, I think
Speaker 1: two years ago. And they were wired, so they had
Speaker 1: a wire that went from the one bud to the
Speaker 1: other bud around your neck. And they weren't very good.
Speaker 1: Almost all the reviews, including mine, were that they were
Speaker 1: just they were just okay. And the craziest part. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remember these things because I feel like the
Speaker 1: craziest part was actually getting the wire back into the case,
Speaker 1: like actually looping the wire. Like they had this crazy
Speaker 1: system where you had to like, I mean, imagine just
Speaker 1: trying to like, you know, you ever get something in
Speaker 1: a box and you have to place it back in
Speaker 1: that box the way that it was given to you.
Speaker 1: It's impossible. The box never closes the same way. That
Speaker 1: was what these headphones were like when you got them
Speaker 1: from Google. And that was problem Number one is that
Speaker 1: you could never wrap them up in a quick way
Speaker 1: and get them back into their charging cradle. So that
Speaker 1: was number one, and then number two was they just
Speaker 1: weren't very good. I don't remember them staying in my
Speaker 1: ears very well. I don't remember. I think the cool
Speaker 1: feature was that they featured Google Assistant, But other than that,
Speaker 1: they were just not very good. So anyway, everyone kind
Speaker 1: of forgot about those. Of course, the AirPods took off
Speaker 1: in popularity and they are so popular. They're so good.
Speaker 1: Apple nailed it on the very first version of those
Speaker 1: air pods, and now, of course they have AirPods Pro,
Speaker 1: which are also f fantastic, and so everyone's been trying to,
Speaker 1: like zoom, capture the magic of what the AirPods have,
Speaker 1: with varying success. And so I always recommend the air
Speaker 1: pods for the iPhone. But if you have an Android,
Speaker 1: you know, I do like the Galaxy Buds from Samsung,
Speaker 1: but the Pixel Buds take it a step further because
Speaker 1: they do build in the Google Assistant. And so the
Speaker 1: Pixel Buds are one hundred and eighty dollars. Google did
Speaker 1: not send me a pair to test of these, so
Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking of purchasing them just for myself, just
Speaker 1: to have them. They're one hundred and eighty bucks. They've
Speaker 1: got the fast pair, which means you open up your case,
Speaker 1: you put them next to an Android phone, not just
Speaker 1: a pixel by the way, that works with a variety
Speaker 1: of Android phones, and so you open them up, they
Speaker 1: pair up. They have a couple of microphones in them,
Speaker 1: so they sound better, they detect when you're speaking, they've
Speaker 1: got adaptive sound, and they also can do a real
Speaker 1: time translation. So theoretically, if you were in Japan and
Speaker 1: you were speaking to someone, you could hear what they're
Speaker 1: saying in Japanese in English in your ears. So I
Speaker 1: don't think that we've tried that feature in the past.
Speaker 1: It's something that Google Translate has done to varying success.
Speaker 1: But it's cool. I don't think it's one hundred percent there.
Speaker 1: That's not the reason to get them, let's put it
Speaker 1: that way. But when I did try on these Google
Speaker 1: Pixel Buds at the Google event in October in New
Speaker 1: York City, I thought they were fantastic, Like I actually
Speaker 1: wanted them. And the only problem is that I primarily
Speaker 1: use an iPhone at this point, and so I don't
Speaker 1: really have a use for them day to day, but
Speaker 1: it would tempt me if I had an Android that
Speaker 1: I was using on a daily basis. It would kind
Speaker 1: of be a tough choice between these and the Samsung
Speaker 1: Galaxy Buds. I'd probably lean more towards the Pixel Buds
Speaker 1: just because I like how they integrate the Google Assistant,
Speaker 1: which I believe you could map to the Samsung version,
Speaker 1: but I'm not one hundred percent sure. But anyway, they're
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty dollars. They're kind of rolling out.
Speaker 1: They're kind of tough to get right now, but they
Speaker 1: are going to be at stores including Target, Best Buy,
Speaker 1: and of course on Google's own website. So check them out.
Speaker 1: Let me know if you get a pair of what
Speaker 1: you think of them, maybe I'll convince I don't know.
Speaker 1: I got to run purchases like that by my wife before.
Speaker 1: I just buy bare headphones I don't necessarily need all right,
Speaker 1: Next question from Bennett. Bennett says, can you recommend a
Speaker 1: budget friendly tablet to use on a hot spot only
Speaker 1: web search? Thank you? I enjoy your time every day
Speaker 1: five forty five am. Well, thank you, Bennett. Referring to
Speaker 1: my time that I hit on KTLA in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: that is usually between five thirty five and five forty five,
Speaker 1: I've noticed that it's been closer to five forty five
Speaker 1: with the COVID nineteen crisis. I guess they have more
Speaker 1: news to get on, but that's when I've been hitting anyway,
Speaker 1: So he watches at that early early time, and it's
Speaker 1: funny because a lot of people. I get so many
Speaker 1: people that come up to me and say, Rich, I
Speaker 1: love your segment, you know, at night. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because letting in Little Inside Baseball, that's actually a taped segment,
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't believe how many people think that's live.
Speaker 1: So it's funny if you watch at five forty five AM.
Speaker 1: Clearly I'm not there at ten pm as well. But anyway, anyway,
Speaker 1: so I would recommend a fire tablet from Amazon. And
Speaker 1: the reason, I mean, my real recommendation for a tablet
Speaker 1: anytime someone asks me about a tablet is always, always
Speaker 1: always the iPad. And it's not because I'm an Apple
Speaker 1: fanboy and I only love Apple products. It's just because
Speaker 1: the iPad gives you entree to the best apps available
Speaker 1: on a tablet. Android tablets just don't have them. They
Speaker 1: just don't have the best apps. But what you did say, Bennett,
Speaker 1: is that you only want to do web searches and
Speaker 1: you want to budget friendly tablet. And so when you
Speaker 1: think about those two things, I'm gonna recommend a fire tablet.
Speaker 1: And they have several fire tablets ranging from fifty dollars
Speaker 1: to one hundred and ninety nine dollars I are sorry,
Speaker 1: fifty dollars to one hundred and fifty. So they have
Speaker 1: the Fire seven, eight, and ten. If you can, I
Speaker 1: would go for the one hundred and fifty dollars tablet,
Speaker 1: the ten. That's going to give you the biggest screen,
Speaker 1: it's going to give you the best processor. It's going
Speaker 1: to give you USB C two point zero, it's gonna
Speaker 1: give you good sound. I just think that you're going
Speaker 1: to be best served with that. Sorry, my phone is
Speaker 1: going off here. Let me put that there. I think
Speaker 1: you're gonna be best served with that tablet, and that's
Speaker 1: because it's a sweet spot. So I mean, you're still
Speaker 1: only spending one hundred and fifty bucks, which I think
Speaker 1: is pretty reasonable for a tablet. But again, that's what
Speaker 1: I would go with Fire HD ten. The only downside
Speaker 1: to a tablet from Amazon is that you have to
Speaker 1: install your apps from the Amazon App Store, and most
Speaker 1: of the apps that you want are on there. You
Speaker 1: said you just want to browse the web. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get Firefox. You're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: get their Silk browser. I don't believe you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to get Chrome unless you what's called sideloaded, which
Speaker 1: means you have to download an APK from a website
Speaker 1: like apk mirror dot com. But that is not for
Speaker 1: the faint of heart, nor do you get one hundred
Speaker 1: percent compatibility doing it that way, But it is an option.
Speaker 1: It's not like you can't get any app they just
Speaker 1: might not work with the tablet. So that's my recommendation,
Speaker 1: and I think that you'll be pretty well served at
Speaker 1: least for web surfing. Just on that all right. Pasadena
Speaker 1: company name Embodied came out with a robot for kids,
Speaker 1: and the robot's name is Moxie. And I'm usually very
Speaker 1: hesitant to talk about robots for kids because we've seen
Speaker 1: in just robots in general. We've seen so many of
Speaker 1: these things, and the robots that I've seen just fail
Speaker 1: to live up to the standard. And the standard we
Speaker 1: all have in our head, of course, is Rosie, Right,
Speaker 1: Rosie from the Jetsons is the robot that we want
Speaker 1: every robot to live up to, and they never do.
Speaker 1: They're kind of like slow moving, they only do a
Speaker 1: couple things, they can't really recognize us. They never do
Speaker 1: what we want them to do. So I've been holding
Speaker 1: off on my robot purchase until we find the best robot.
Speaker 1: We had that robot Gbo. Do you remember that thing
Speaker 1: that was super expensive and it was kind of the
Speaker 1: slickest robot we've seen. It was very popular. I think
Speaker 1: it was a kickstarter, and that thing went out of
Speaker 1: business and now whatever it was, fifteen hundred dollars robot
Speaker 1: was totally bricked. So you got to be prepared for that.
Speaker 1: If you're going to buy a robot right now in
Speaker 1: this day and age, you may wake up one day
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't work, So be prepared. Robots are
Speaker 1: for rich people right now, not for the average person.
Speaker 1: Little robots are fine. There are some fun little robots
Speaker 1: out there. But Moxie is a robot that actually looks
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I'll give it that. It's a robot that's
Speaker 1: for kids, and it uses machine learning technology, yes, buzzword
Speaker 1: watch out for those that allows it to perceive, process,
Speaker 1: and respond to natural conversation, eye contact, facial expressions, and
Speaker 1: other behavior, as well as recall people, places, and things.
Speaker 1: Sounds very promising. The video that they put on YouTube
Speaker 1: is a little bit too slick for my taste. I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit worried whenever I see a product demo
Speaker 1: video that soon duper sl like this looks like it
Speaker 1: probably cost one hundred thousand dollars to make. It was
Speaker 1: shot on a studio lot. You can tell it was
Speaker 1: in a sound stage. The family is way too good looking.
Speaker 1: They're all actors, the kid, you know, they're all they're
Speaker 1: all actors. So I'm a little bit worried, right Like,
Speaker 1: I'd rather just see like a real person using this thing.
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. But still, the robot
Speaker 1: can understand and express motions with this facial expressions body language,
Speaker 1: and it taps into human psychology. The robot has this
Speaker 1: like almost Pixar looking lit up face that's almost looks
Speaker 1: like something you'd see at Disneyland, where the face is
Speaker 1: lit from behind with a projector, and it does a
Speaker 1: lot of different emotions and it looks really cool, and
Speaker 1: it talks. The voice. The speech synthesis sounds pretty good.
Speaker 1: And for children, they can play with this robot and
Speaker 1: it's not just like something that is just there that
Speaker 1: they play with. It actually has lessons, so it teaches kindness, friendship,
Speaker 1: empathy or respect. And then children are tasked to help
Speaker 1: Moxie with missions that explore human experience ideas and life skills.
Speaker 1: And then there's things like drawing, mindfulness, They practice breathing exercises,
Speaker 1: and Moxie wants you to be kind with others. And
Speaker 1: it also teaches skills like taking your turn, eye contact,
Speaker 1: active listening, emotion regulation, and empathy. Sounds like the perfect parent, Moxie.
Speaker 1: It sounds like all the things I try to do
Speaker 1: with my kids to some levels of success. Now, it
Speaker 1: will be fifteen hundred dollars for this robot, so very expensive,
Speaker 1: plus a subscription plan, but for launch purposes, it will
Speaker 1: include a one year subscription with over the air software updates,
Speaker 1: kind of like a Tesla, right And I will say
Speaker 1: this robot sort of seems like the Tesla of robots
Speaker 1: for kids right now. Now, the reason I'm telling you
Speaker 1: about this is because I don't think necessarily you're going
Speaker 1: to buy it. But there is this thing called Pioneer
Speaker 1: Mentor Program, and what they're doing is they're looking for
Speaker 1: families to give one of these robots too for a
Speaker 1: month or two over the summer, to try it out
Speaker 1: with their kids and to be beta testers. And so
Speaker 1: I will put the link in the show notes so
Speaker 1: you can check it out but I think that you
Speaker 1: should apply if you're at all interested in this robot,
Speaker 1: because I do think it looks pretty cool, and I
Speaker 1: do think if you have a kid that you want
Speaker 1: to try this out with, you know why not? You
Speaker 1: got to be in it to win it, right, That's
Speaker 1: what I say. Okay, let's see I would like to
Speaker 1: know a question from Blanca. I would like to know
Speaker 1: what are the best editing apps on the market. My
Speaker 1: niece turned sixteen next week. I'd like to create a
Speaker 1: mini video slash movie with her childhood pictures as a
Speaker 1: surprise gift for her the sweet sixteen party her parents
Speaker 1: head plan has been canceled due to everything going on
Speaker 1: with the pandemic and stay at home mandates. I'd like
Speaker 1: to make her feel special and I'd really appreciate your suggestions.
Speaker 1: Thank you in advance, Blanca. Blanca, I feel your pain
Speaker 1: and I totally get it everything has been upended. Yesterday
Speaker 1: we did a drive by birthday surprise for my friend
Speaker 1: who turned an undisclosed age. But we had to drive
Speaker 1: by his house. We coordinate it with his wife, of course,
Speaker 1: but so a bunch of friends, you know, four car
Speaker 1: We all drove by the house with a bunch of
Speaker 1: signs our kids made with the kids hanging out the window.
Speaker 1: And that's how we did it. We honked and we
Speaker 1: drove by. He came outside. We did get out of
Speaker 1: our cars, I'll admit that for a little bit, but
Speaker 1: we were social distance. That was okay. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just I mean, who thought of a drive by birthday party?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the reality we're in. So you're doing
Speaker 1: the same thing. You got to come up with a
Speaker 1: little mini movie and video. A couple apps I'd recommend.
Speaker 1: Number one app I'd recommend is Magisto. M Agisto, And
Speaker 1: what I like about Magisto is it's simple. And you're
Speaker 1: talking about making a sort of a video montage with
Speaker 1: videos and pictures, So Magisto is going to do that
Speaker 1: really nicely. And I think it's free for you know,
Speaker 1: simple videos. But you might have to pay you know,
Speaker 1: five bucks to do a premium upgrade, but you could
Speaker 1: do that for one month and still get this. And
Speaker 1: what I like about Magisto is it's super simple, super
Speaker 1: duper simple. You choose the pictures, you choose the videos,
Speaker 1: and you choose the theme and it will make the
Speaker 1: entire thing. Music from start to finish. It does it
Speaker 1: all for you. You might have to tweak it at the end,
Speaker 1: but you might not even have to because it does
Speaker 1: use AI to kind of figure out where to zoom
Speaker 1: in on your picks and all that good stuff. So
Speaker 1: I think Magisto would probably be my top pick. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other ways you can do this.
Speaker 1: If you want to be very hands on with this,
Speaker 1: you can do something like Adobe Premier Rush, which I
Speaker 1: also love, and your first three projects are totally free
Speaker 1: on that one, so you can make this whole thing
Speaker 1: for free, and that gives you one hundred percent approval
Speaker 1: of everything, like you do it all yourself. And the
Speaker 1: other program, of course is iMovie, but that's a little
Speaker 1: bit more complicated, but it will let you do everything
Speaker 1: yourself and you have total control and it is free
Speaker 1: if you have an Apple product. The other thing you
Speaker 1: can look into is Google Photos. So Google Photos does
Speaker 1: have some built in ways of making a kind of
Speaker 1: video montage with pictures and videos, and so that is
Speaker 1: totally free as well. And the cool thing about Google
Speaker 1: Photos is it will make it for you. It kind
Speaker 1: of does the legwork and then you can tweak it
Speaker 1: so you still have full control over that even after
Speaker 1: it's done that. But those are the programs that I'd recommend.
Speaker 1: I think, start with Magisto and just try it out,
Speaker 1: see if it makes the thing that you need, and
Speaker 1: if you love it, there you go and happy birthday
Speaker 1: to your niece. All right. This is interesting because I
Speaker 1: was looking for an app and I stumbled upon an
Speaker 1: app that did exactly what I wanted and it little
Speaker 1: did I know that it launched literally that day. So
Speaker 1: this week I had, you know, I get a couple
Speaker 1: packages sent to me every so oft and from tech
Speaker 1: companies with stuff that they want me to test out.
Speaker 1: Plus I order stuff and ninety nine percent of the
Speaker 1: time I'm ordering stuff from Amazon, their app will tell
Speaker 1: me on my phone when it's getting delivered. But sometimes
Speaker 1: I order stuff from other companies like all Birds. I
Speaker 1: ordered a pair of their new sneakers this week, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to track them just to see, like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I track when these sneakers are going to be
Speaker 1: delivered to my house? And so I searched on the
Speaker 1: web for a package tracking app that you can just
Speaker 1: pop a tracking number into and see when you're you know,
Speaker 1: get a notification or see where it is on a map,
Speaker 1: and I came up with an app called shop and
Speaker 1: so I downloaded it. It did exactly what I wanted.
Speaker 1: I popped in the two tracking codes I had, and
Speaker 1: on the screen on my phone, I can see where
Speaker 1: these packages are when they're going to be delivered, and
Speaker 1: it was very simple. Now, little did I know that
Speaker 1: Shopify launched the app like literally on the day I
Speaker 1: downloaded it. And it's a kind of a rebranding of
Speaker 1: an app called Arrive, which is a package tracking app,
Speaker 1: but shop now has package tracking capabilities. But it also
Speaker 1: allows you to see a feed of recommended products and
Speaker 1: use shop pay for one click checkout and shop pay.
Speaker 1: If you've ever used Shopify, it's a very popular e
Speaker 1: commerce platform online. The secret to that is that you
Speaker 1: shop once on one website. Next thing you know, your credit
Speaker 1: card is saved and you go to another website with
Speaker 1: it and it's like one click. They sent a code
Speaker 1: to your phone it says do you want to check out?
Speaker 1: And your boom, You're done. So it makes things very easy.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Amazon, but for you know, various
Speaker 1: smaller websites and so that that's what I used to
Speaker 1: order my all birds and so anyway, I thought this
Speaker 1: app was pretty cool. I think it's kind of nice.
Speaker 1: Well I continue using it, I don't know, maybe I'll
Speaker 1: just use it till I get my sneakers and I'll
Speaker 1: get bored of it. But the thing is that I
Speaker 1: think is the killer app is how they can scan
Speaker 1: your email Gmail to get all of your tracking numbers,
Speaker 1: so anything you order from any website is just automatically
Speaker 1: populated in this app. The only problem I have with
Speaker 1: that is that you do have to give them access
Speaker 1: to your entire Gmail. And we've seen this before with
Speaker 1: other apps like Ernie, and I used to really be
Speaker 1: okay with that, but now the more I get kind
Speaker 1: of into privacy, I'm kind of like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm just ready to do that. I wish that
Speaker 1: Google would come up with a way of an API
Speaker 1: that would just allow these apps access to like just
Speaker 1: my tracking, like just my email confirmations from orders, instead
Speaker 1: of all my Gmail. I just worry about giving it
Speaker 1: access to all of my Gmail because basically they can
Speaker 1: download every email in your Gmail account. And I don't
Speaker 1: think they're doing that or looking at every email, you know.
Speaker 1: What they tell me is that they look at the
Speaker 1: headers of the email, and if it doesn't come from
Speaker 1: like a Bloomingdale's or an Amazon or you know, all birds,
Speaker 1: they just disregard that email, like if it comes from
Speaker 1: my mom, they're not going to look at that email.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, that's going on blind faith,
Speaker 1: and I don't really know what they're doing. So I
Speaker 1: did not give a shop access to my Gmail. But
Speaker 1: I did manually pop in the two tracking numbers, which
Speaker 1: is fine. It's just not as efficient and so if
Speaker 1: I keep doing that, I probably won't use the app
Speaker 1: as often. But if I did do the automatic Gmail thing,
Speaker 1: I'd probably get much more use out of the app.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if I continue to use it. But
Speaker 1: I did want to make you aware of it because,
Speaker 1: especially now when we're all at home, we're probably ordering
Speaker 1: more stuff online and that kind of app is popular.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see question question question question, All right,
Speaker 1: Bradley Phillips says, I need to get a new iPhone.
Speaker 1: I have the iPhone six and I'm debating on getting
Speaker 1: the iPhone eleven or the iPhone S. Which one do
Speaker 1: you recommend that we'll have a lasting phone? Thank you,
Speaker 1: Bradley Phillips. Not to be confused with Bradley Cooper right
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven iPhone S. So, the iPhone eleven and the
Speaker 1: iPhone se are sort of Apple's two budget phones, and
Speaker 1: the iPhone se more so because the iPhone se is
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety nine dollars, whereas the iPhone eleven is.
Speaker 1: I think it starts at oh gosh, oh, put me
Speaker 1: on the spot here. Oh how much is that one?
Speaker 1: Six forty nine? I think it is. I see, I
Speaker 1: know all this stuff when these things launch because they're
Speaker 1: fresh in my head. And then it's if it's been
Speaker 1: a few months six ninety nine, okay, six ninety nine
Speaker 1: for the iPhone eleven, So iPhone eleven versus the iPhone
Speaker 1: S so he wants a lasting phone. They're both going
Speaker 1: to be lasting phones. But the difference is that with
Speaker 1: the iPhone eleven, you're going to get a wide angle
Speaker 1: lens and so you're gonna get and a better camera.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna have a better camera and a wide
Speaker 1: angle lens and a bigger screen. So those are the
Speaker 1: three major things that you're gonna get and also face
Speaker 1: ID So just comparing them, the iPhone eleven is six
Speaker 1: point one inches on the screen versus four point seven
Speaker 1: You have a retina sorry, a four point seven inch
Speaker 1: screen with the fingerprint ID, so you got touch ID,
Speaker 1: which I personally think is better than face ID in
Speaker 1: many instances because it gives you more control over when
Speaker 1: you unlock your phone. They both have the same processor,
Speaker 1: which I love, love, love A thirteen, which is Apple's latest.
Speaker 1: So when Bradley says he wants the most lasting, they're
Speaker 1: both gonna last equally long. They're both gonna get the
Speaker 1: same amount of iOS updates as far as I know,
Speaker 1: because they both have that same processor. You do get
Speaker 1: night mode pictures on the iPhone eleven, so again, your
Speaker 1: camera is going to be better. So really, Bradly, I
Speaker 1: think what it comes down to is do you want
Speaker 1: a better camera? And I believe the camera on the
Speaker 1: front and the back is going to be better. I
Speaker 1: need to confirm that because I know the let's see,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the camera on the front of the
Speaker 1: iPhone eleven and let's see, I can't be sure on
Speaker 1: the iPhone eleven camera. I do believe that the front
Speaker 1: facing camera does four K so video recording, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have to look for that, but I'm not sure. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I would say it's a toss up. Do you
Speaker 1: want a smaller phone with touch ID and a lesser
Speaker 1: camera or do you want a bigger phone with a
Speaker 1: better camera and face ID. Personally, I, out of these
Speaker 1: two phones, would go with the iPhone eleven. I just
Speaker 1: think that the bigger screen is more useful. I think
Speaker 1: face ID is fine, it's not a deal breaker. And
Speaker 1: I'd rather have that wide angle lens because, believe me,
Speaker 1: there comes a time when you're taking a picture that
Speaker 1: that white angle is so nice and it really does
Speaker 1: add a lot to your picture. And I just think
Speaker 1: it's a better phone. So SC I think is perfectly
Speaker 1: fine and I have no qualms recommending it, But you
Speaker 1: have to be prepared for that smaller screen. And so personally,
Speaker 1: I've had a big screen phone for many many years
Speaker 1: now I cannot go back. And for that reason, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say the iPhone eleven. But you are talking three
Speaker 1: let's say four three hundred, and what I say it
Speaker 1: was I said it was a six ninety nine, so
Speaker 1: seven hundred versus four hundred, so it's three hundred extra dollars.
Speaker 1: So you have to decide, Bradley, are those things that
Speaker 1: I mentioned worth the extra three hundred dollars, That is
Speaker 1: up to you, all right, Moving on now, something I
Speaker 1: have been loving, and you've probably if you've listened to
Speaker 1: this podcast before. Something that I've been loving as i've
Speaker 1: been home has been my Bowflex spin bike that I bought.
Speaker 1: And I bought this. I saw it at CS. It's
Speaker 1: called the Bowflex C six. I saw it at CS
Speaker 1: and I said to myself, Okay, I've been thinking about
Speaker 1: a spin bike, even though I don't really need one,
Speaker 1: because I had a gym membership that has been on
Speaker 1: paused lately. So anyway, I bought the Beloton. I called it.
Speaker 1: I just mixed Bowflex and Peloton. I bought the the
Speaker 1: Bowflex after CS because I fell in love with it.
Speaker 1: It was one thousand bucks versus the twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars that Peloton charges. And my reason being is that
Speaker 1: if I'm going to have a bike at home and
Speaker 1: a gym membership, I can't pay for both. Right, I'm
Speaker 1: not paying for my gym membership and a bike because
Speaker 1: that just gets into crazy times. Right, twenty five hundred
Speaker 1: bucks for the bike plus another I think fifty or
Speaker 1: forty or fifty bucks for the peloton membership seemed insane
Speaker 1: to me, so I had to have one or the other.
Speaker 1: And I didn't want to give up my gym membership
Speaker 1: because I do like having the gym for the weights
Speaker 1: when I end up do doing weights, and I like
Speaker 1: the steam room, so you know, I do like those
Speaker 1: aspects of it and the gym. You know, it's different.
Speaker 1: You're not in your house. Well, now that we're all
Speaker 1: in our house, it turned out to be the best
Speaker 1: thing I ever bought because I can get a great
Speaker 1: workout here in my home. And shout out out to
Speaker 1: my pal Raoul in San Diego. He's the anchor I
Speaker 1: work with there on Fox five San Diego. He invited
Speaker 1: me at like ten o'clock at night one night. I
Speaker 1: get a text before I'm going to bed, He's like, dude,
Speaker 1: nine point thirty am tomorrow a ninety minute ride on
Speaker 1: the peloton. I'm like what. And even though I have
Speaker 1: so okay to finish my story. I got the bowflex,
Speaker 1: but I use it with the peloton app on an iPad.
Speaker 1: So the beauty of the of the bowflex is they
Speaker 1: saw a need here for people like myself that don't
Speaker 1: necessarily want a Peloton, but it has the perfect place
Speaker 1: to hold an iPad on the bike. Who's got a
Speaker 1: perfect iPad holder? So I pay twelve dollars a month
Speaker 1: in theoretically because it hasn't started yet, I get ninety
Speaker 1: days free right now, which you can get free too.
Speaker 1: Peloton did that, and I just do the same exact
Speaker 1: thing you do on the bike on the Peloton, except
Speaker 1: on the Bowflex, and the difference is you do okay.
Speaker 1: So everyone wants to know what do you get? You
Speaker 1: get The Bowflex has bluetooth which connects to the Peloton app,
Speaker 1: and I can get my cadence, which is the important
Speaker 1: thing they always talk about in the spin classes, your cadence.
Speaker 1: And I can also see my resistance, which I believe
Speaker 1: matches up one to one, because usually it's from one
Speaker 1: to one hundred. My resistance on the bowflex is what
Speaker 1: the instructor calls out in the peloton class. Okay, get
Speaker 1: up to a resistance of twenty five. I think they're
Speaker 1: the same. They seem to be. So the only thing
Speaker 1: I'm missing is the leaderboard, which a lot of people
Speaker 1: in Peloton fall in love or fall in love with
Speaker 1: the leaderboard. I personally am not that competitive. I don't
Speaker 1: really care. So I personally love saving the fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: dollars that I saved on this bike versus the Peloton. Now,
Speaker 1: with that said, if you do not have a gym membership,
Speaker 1: I would recommend getting the Peloton over what I got
Speaker 1: because it's your only thing, right, so you can spend
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And also I think that the
Speaker 1: Peloton experience is pretty amazing. The reason I say all
Speaker 1: this is because, very long story for a short piece
Speaker 1: of news, Peloton had their largest class ever during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Twenty three thousand people both tuned in Okay to a
Speaker 1: live workout on Wednesday. Oh hold on, Oh no, there
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, twenty three people tuned in to a
Speaker 1: live workout on Wednesday. So that's pretty amazing. Twenty three
Speaker 1: thousand people all at once in one Peloton class. I
Speaker 1: thought it was cool. I was doing one of the
Speaker 1: classes that had like eleven hundred people in it at
Speaker 1: the same time. I cannot imagine twenty three thousand. I
Speaker 1: think that's pretty amazing. So Peloton. I think I did
Speaker 1: my first story on Peloton back in twenty fifteen. I
Speaker 1: think it was and I did not understand it. I
Speaker 1: got on the bike for five minutes. I wish I
Speaker 1: would have seen the magic of Peloton. I just didn't
Speaker 1: get it. Now I am a total believer, and I
Speaker 1: truly think they are onto something. I don't know if
Speaker 1: someone's gonna buy them or they're gonna be able to expand,
Speaker 1: but I do love what I have experienced with Peloton
Speaker 1: in the past couple of weeks. I don't even have
Speaker 1: a Peloton. I've got a cheapy version, but I do
Speaker 1: love what I have. All right, next question, moving right
Speaker 1: through the show here, let's see question from Joel. Joel says,
Speaker 1: hi is sir, my name is Joel. I have a
Speaker 1: Samsung Note ten plus. I'm wondering how I can have
Speaker 1: calls forwarded to another number. I know how to set
Speaker 1: up on an iPhone, but I can't seem to figure
Speaker 1: it out on the Note ten. Is it even possible?
Speaker 1: I hope, so hope you can help me out with this.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the assistance, Joel. Joel, great question, and
Speaker 1: this is something that perplexed me because when you're on
Speaker 1: an iPhone to forward your call, it's built right into
Speaker 1: the iPhone phone calling settings, and maybe not for every carrier,
Speaker 1: but at least for AT and T T Mobile, I
Speaker 1: believe maybe even Verizon. I should look on my phone
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm not gonna do that. But it
Speaker 1: is built in and you just go call forwarding, you
Speaker 1: toggle it on, you put in the number you want
Speaker 1: to call forward to, and boom. It's done on the
Speaker 1: iPhone in about thirty seconds. On an Android, they don't
Speaker 1: necessarily have that built in. And the reason and it's
Speaker 1: not built in is because there are so many different
Speaker 1: flavors of Androids, so many different carriers. So what you
Speaker 1: have to do is type in a special number, so
Speaker 1: you need to Google call Forwarding and then ATT or
Speaker 1: Verizon or Sprint, and it's actually a code that you
Speaker 1: put in, so for instance, for Verizon, it's Star or
Speaker 1: yes Star two to one Star and then the ten
Speaker 1: digit number, so Star two to one Star three one
Speaker 1: Oho five five five one two one two pound and
Speaker 1: that will forward your number or your calls to that
Speaker 1: phone number. And then if you want to stop doing it,
Speaker 1: you press a another number, which you should also, by
Speaker 1: the way, figure out before you set this up. Make
Speaker 1: sure that you get them both, because you don't want
Speaker 1: to set up call forwarding and then not be able
Speaker 1: to figure out how to stop call forwarding. I have
Speaker 1: done this in the past, uh with success. So it
Speaker 1: does work. But again, it is a code that you
Speaker 1: need to find from your carrier. And if you're worried that,
Speaker 1: you know there is wireless and there's landline, so do
Speaker 1: make sure that you are looking up the wireless code,
Speaker 1: not the landline code. And when you do it successfully,
Speaker 1: you should get a little kind of code, it's like
Speaker 1: it or something like that that it makes on your phone.
Speaker 1: When you do have that successful call forwarding, then you
Speaker 1: can have a friend call. You make sure it rings
Speaker 1: the other phone and you're all set up. If it
Speaker 1: doesn't work, you know, just make sure you have it
Speaker 1: right before you do it, because you want to get
Speaker 1: it right. And it does work. I think it works
Speaker 1: with almost all the carriers. They all should have a
Speaker 1: forwarding number. So good question. It is possible. It's just
Speaker 1: a little different on Android versus iPhone. All right, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, or almost at the end of the show here, wow,
Speaker 1: can you believe it? I am looking at Facebook and
Speaker 1: I've got it streaming live on Facebook right now. So
Speaker 1: if you are watching, I've been doing a lot more
Speaker 1: live streaming on Facebook, mainly because we're all at home
Speaker 1: and we need stuff to do. So if you can
Speaker 1: listen to me on Facebook while I do my show,
Speaker 1: why not. Let's see next story I want to man.
Speaker 1: I love an app called Adobe spark and Adobe spark
Speaker 1: Post is the app that I like the most and
Speaker 1: the reason why I like it. I don't use it
Speaker 1: very often, but the few times I do use it,
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. And what it is is, if you ever see,
Speaker 1: if you follow a bunch of influencers or businesses on
Speaker 1: Instagram and other places, they always have these fancy graphics,
Speaker 1: you know, like whatever, like a quote or a sale
Speaker 1: that they're having, or an infographic, whatever it is. Ninety
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time they're making those in one
Speaker 1: of two places, Canva dot com, which is really cool,
Speaker 1: or Adobe spark Post. And Adobe spark Post I really
Speaker 1: like because it's on my phone, it's mobile. That's the
Speaker 1: one I first started using versus Canva, and I've just
Speaker 1: gotten used to it. They both do very similar things.
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about spark Post and Canva is
Speaker 1: that you let's say, like, my kid needed a thumbnail
Speaker 1: the other day for his new YouTube channel that he
Speaker 1: convinced me to let him set up. And so you
Speaker 1: go right into Adobe Spark Post and it gives you
Speaker 1: the template for a YouTube channel thumbnail and not just
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel. So it's like anything you need you
Speaker 1: can get. So, let's say you want an Instagram post,
Speaker 1: it will give you an option of a square post
Speaker 1: that fits perfectly into Instagram. Or maybe you need a
Speaker 1: thumbnail for a YouTube video. You can start with a
Speaker 1: template that is a thumbnail of a YouTube video. Maybe
Speaker 1: you want a Twitter instream photo. It will give you
Speaker 1: the perfect setting for that Instagram story. It will give
Speaker 1: you the perfect setting for that. So you can work
Speaker 1: with these templates that they have and remix them, and
Speaker 1: Adobe Spark does a really good job of having the
Speaker 1: template and then you are able to remix in a
Speaker 1: million different ways. Now, as far as I know, the
Speaker 1: app is totally free, but there are paid upgrades if
Speaker 1: you want to do things. And right now, the reason
Speaker 1: I tell you all this is because they're offering two
Speaker 1: free months of Adobe Spark Individual Plan, which gives you,
Speaker 1: I guess, premium features. I don't really know what the
Speaker 1: premium features are. I've never paid for that. But if
Speaker 1: you want to do it, and you have a small business,
Speaker 1: and right now you're trying to tell people like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're doing takeout, we're doing delivery whatever, We're coming to
Speaker 1: your house and you know, leaving food outside the door.
Speaker 1: This is a great way to make little graphics. So
Speaker 1: that's the reason I tell you that. And not just
Speaker 1: for businesses. You will if you download these apps, you
Speaker 1: will find a million and one uses for them. But
Speaker 1: if you're an instagrammer or a youtubeer or whatever you
Speaker 1: want really fancy stuff, this will help you do just that.
Speaker 1: All right, Do I have one more question? Oh? I do?
Speaker 1: DeAndre writes in what do you do when you feel
Speaker 1: eyes on you in the privacy of your home and
Speaker 1: a voice describing every move you make in detail. Because
Speaker 1: of this, I googled x Ray game slash scanners and
Speaker 1: learn that there are available applications that can be pared
Speaker 1: to various electronics to enable you to see through walls.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been silenced before on this podcast,
Speaker 1: but I am. I am silenced right now. Feel eyes
Speaker 1: on you in the privacy of your home. Okay, we've
Speaker 1: all felt eyes on us and the privacy of our
Speaker 1: home and a voice describing every move you make in detail.
Speaker 1: That part I'm a little concerned about, because you shouldn't
Speaker 1: hear someone describing every move you make in detail. DeAndre, Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have advice on that one,
Speaker 1: but that is creepy. We need some Twilight Zone music.
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do doo? That is
Speaker 1: uh wow. I don't know what to say here. I
Speaker 1: would look around for cameras, hidden cameras in your home. Uh.
Speaker 1: The only thing I could suggest, if I'm being serious,
Speaker 1: is that if you have one of those sort of
Speaker 1: nest cams or any sort of security camera that someone
Speaker 1: has hacked into and they're now watching you through that
Speaker 1: camera and then using the speak functionality through the app
Speaker 1: to speak to you, That's the only thing I can
Speaker 1: think of. But I think you would know if you
Speaker 1: heard the voice coming from the camera. But wow, good question. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on. I did mention at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the show that one of my favorite favorite favorite apps
Speaker 1: in the world is available on iOS. I have been
Speaker 1: using an app called Backdrops on my Android devices for
Speaker 1: as long as I can remember. I love their backgrounds
Speaker 1: for the Android because they're so slick and cool looking
Speaker 1: and they're just really really cool. So they have announced
Speaker 1: that they are available on iOS, and I immediately again,
Speaker 1: this is an example of an app that I've been
Speaker 1: waiting to arrive on iOS for so many years, and
Speaker 1: I just happened to be on Twitter and I saw
Speaker 1: one of my friends mention it and I was like,
Speaker 1: wait what, And so, yes, Backdrops is now available on iOS.
Speaker 1: So the official handle on Twitter is Backdrops app, and
Speaker 1: Backdrops is the app on iOS. If you search for it,
Speaker 1: you may find a lot of apps that have that
Speaker 1: Backdrops name. But maybe I should describe It's really tough
Speaker 1: for me to describe the icon, but it just it's
Speaker 1: like it looks like a wallpaper icon with a couple
Speaker 1: other I don't know. I'll put the link in the
Speaker 1: show notes because I want you to get the official one.
Speaker 1: But I love it. Their backgrounds are so cool. I
Speaker 1: always go with the abstract ones. They have such fun
Speaker 1: little backgrounds. It's all free as far as I know,
Speaker 1: I've never paid. But it's fantastic. So Backdrops on iOS.
Speaker 1: Take a look and download it and get some awesome,
Speaker 1: awesome backdrops for your phone. Can you believe it? That
Speaker 1: is gonna do it. For this episode of the show,
Speaker 1: we made it through solo. Thanks so much for listening.
