1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: What's going on.

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: Rich Zmuro here, rich on Tech and welcome to rich

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: on Tech Live. This is the podcast where I help

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: you get the most out of your gadgets, answering your

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: tech questions live, talking about some of the cool things

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: that happened in technology over the past week. But most importantly,

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: I take your phone calls where you can talk to me.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: The phone number is three one zero five to nine

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: four three zero zero three, three one zero five to

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: nine four three zero zero three. I'll take your calls

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: in just a bit, So think about what you need

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: to know when it comes to your tech world. There's

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: a lot going on, and this week was all about

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: the Samsung Galaxy S nine. All the reviews came out

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: for the S nine, and uh, here's the general consensus

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: about the Samsung Galaxy S nine. It's a great device.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: They really did a nice job of fixing all the

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: problems that anyone had with the S eight, which mainly

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: was the fingerprint reader. That was it, and they fix

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: that and that's it.

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: Story closed. I mean, the book is done.

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: It's there's not much more to say about this device.

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: Is that if you're looking for an Android device. Ninety

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of people are going to buy

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: the Samsung Galaxy. They're gonna buy the S eight, the

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: S seven, D S nine, one of those three phones.

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: If you're an Apple person, you're gonna buy the iPhone. Now,

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: I will say this will probably be the phone that

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: causes some iPhone folks to want to come over and

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: jump over to the Android side. And I think that's

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: not a bad idea. The problem is people that are

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: on iPhone have become accustomed to several things, one of

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: those things being FaceTime, which you can get around they all,

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: they all, they have these these apps that work on

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: both platforms. But I'm just saying people are used to it.

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: And the other thing that people are used to is

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: really I Message, and I Message of course, only works

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: on iOS devices. You don't need I Message. It's nice

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: to have, but it's not a necessity. So I think

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: that this phone will get the interest of some people

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: that are on iPhone. So let me just go through

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: some of the headlines that some of the writers had.

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: My thought on the phone is that anyone who buys

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: this is gonna be very happy. It's snappy, it's fast,

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: the camera's really nice. Isn't the best camera in the world. No,

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: the Google Pixel has the best camera in the world,

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: But does that really matter? Probably not now, I will

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: say the only thing I did notice with the camera

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: that I was a little unhappy about is when I

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: was taking pictures of my kids with this camera, I

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: got a lot of blurred movement. And I'm not sure

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: what the reason for that is. I don't notice that

53
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: on my other phones. When I take pictures with the

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: iPhone ten, I do not notice that, Nor do I

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: notice that when I take pictures with the Pixel. It

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: only happens on the Samsung right now, and so I'm

57
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: wondering if that's like a software update or if something

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: is a little off. I don't know what that is,

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: but that's the only thing that concerned me was that

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: I was noticing a lot more blurry pictures and a

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: lot more blurry parts, like not really blurry pictures, but

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: just like this, Like you know, if their hand was

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: moving a little bit. On my other phones, it would

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: kind of capture that and just be fine, But on

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: this you saw a little bit of a blur low light.

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: I think the s nine is going to do a

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: really nice job. I also my other downside of the

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: S nine is really the selfie camera. It's just not

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: very good. I notice a lot of blurry pictures on

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: that as well, and very your face looks sort of

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: blurred out, and I think a lot of people will

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: like that because it doesn't show a lot of your

73
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: wrinkles or anything like that.

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: But it's just a weird kind of look.

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't look as natural as the iPhone or the Pixel.

76
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: But other than that, I really have no problem with

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: the S nine. I think it is a fantastic device.

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: I think that those two things that I'm talking about

79
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: are very nitpicky, and I don't think a lot of

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: people will even have a problem with those things.

81
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying.

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: I noticed a little bit of a lag when I

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: press the shutter button compared to the Pixel and the iPhone,

84
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more blur.

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: And on the front facing camera.

86
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: I noticed that it's just a little bit out of focus.

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: Sometimes it doesn't kind of snap into focus as fast

88
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: as you'd like. But that's it. Otherwise, I think that

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: this is a very solid device. I think that Samsung

90
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: did an amazing job. I will recommend if you purchase

91
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: this phone that you need a case because it's really

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: thin on both sides, which makes it kind of tough

93
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: to hold. I found that I love the size. The

94
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: form factor is way better than the pixel, and I

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: actually like it better than the iPhone too because it's

96
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: just a little bit bigger.

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: But it's just it's not easy to hold.

98
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: They are not easy to I guess grip because it.

99
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: Feels like it's gonna fall out of your hand.

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: All right, So some of the reviews that are in

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: let's see, let's see what they say. Android Central says

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: a fantastic phone for the mass is not an exciting phone.

103
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: This doesn't need to be an exciting phone. It's the

104
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: top device out there for Samsung. They don't need to

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: make it crazy. It just needs to do a lot

106
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: of good stuff. Wall Street Journal says it's impressive and infuriating,

107
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: and he's talking about the software. Everyone everyone gets all

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: mad about the Samsung software. I don't get that mad

109
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: about it. I think that, yes, there is a lot

110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: of stuff on there you may not need. But when

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: you're talking about the average person, they're not buying a pixel.

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: A Google Pixel is for the super duper nerd like

113
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: myself who wants to have the pure Google experience. And

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: then add every little feature in that I want. When

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: you buy a Samsung or an iPhone, you're getting all

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: the features. You don't have to download that much software

117
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: to get a lot of these features. And I think

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: that's what these reviewers forget, is that the average person,

119
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: like my mom or just the random Joe, they're not

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: sitting there thinking about what markup tool they want to

121
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: use on their photos. They just want to press edit

122
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: and use their finger to write on the picture. They

123
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: don't have to go to the app store and figure

124
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: out which one of these apps is going to be

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: best for doing that.

126
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Now I like to do that.

127
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: They don't want to have to do that same thing

128
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: when you're scanning in a business card or a picture

129
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: of a you know, or a PDF or something like that.

130
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: They don't want to sit there and go through the

131
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: app store and download fifteen different apps like Office Lens

132
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: or Scannable or.

133
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Google Drive and see which one works the best.

134
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: They just want to go, hey, let me scan a

135
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: document for my phone, and that's it. It works.

136
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: That's the reality of these things.

137
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: So I think these reviewers kind of lose touch just

138
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: a little bit when they talk about what they're doing

139
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: now I feel like i'm because I do TV on

140
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: a very broad level for people that aren't necessarily techies.

141
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: I think that that's why I have a better understanding,

142
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: because I get emails every single day from you guys

143
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: basically asking me questions that are you know, that are

144
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: things that I might take for granted. But I'm like, huh,

145
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: that's interesting. I didn't think of that perspective. Whereas if

146
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: you're writing for Wired or the Wall Street Journal, you're

147
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: just assuming a lot of these people that are reading

148
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: the tech section are very tech savvy and smart about tech,

149
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: which I get it. So that's why you're sort of

150
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 2: forgetting the fact that there's a whole bunch of people

151
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: out there that just kind of, you know, use their

152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: gadget and they're not sitting there trying to be crazy

153
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: about it. Let's see what else. Yeah, I mean, all

154
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: the reviews are pretty darn good. People are saying that

155
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily the best camera in the world, but

156
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: it's definitely an improvement over the S eight and the

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: fingerprint readers in the right place. So and by the way,

158
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: it also has a headphone jack, which I really like.

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: So I've been talking a lot so I kind of

160
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: missed a lot of what you guys are saying on here.

161
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: But let's see here.

162
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: Catherine says, I've had the Samsung S six the edge.

163
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Now I'm thinking of S eight or S nine. Catherine,

164
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: I'd probably say go with the S nine if he can.

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: I would see how much the trade in is for

166
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: the S six. I think you're gonnaet one hundred and

167
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: fifty bucks for that, but definitely checked it out. And

168
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: this thing, just this thing does not you know, next time,

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make an hour long one.

170
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Of these, because this just does not want to repeat.

171
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't like my U doesn't like my repeat. So

172
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: let's see what's better, uhat Shrevath Strevrath says, which one

173
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: is better? S nine or S nine plus Samsung camera

174
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: versus iPhone ten. I think the camera on the S nine, well,

175
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: the cameras are the same on the S nine and

176
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: the S nine plus. The big difference that the S

177
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: nine plus has at dual camera setup. So if you

178
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: like zooming in, you know, like getting double the image,

179
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: like double closeness, then go with the S nine plus.

180
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: But otherwise they have the same main camera versus the

181
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: iPhone ten. You know, I think they both have their

182
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: pros and cons. The iPhone ten is a really solid

183
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: camera overall. I find that the Samsung kind of looks

184
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more poppy, like the colors are more

185
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: saturated on there. So you know, it really comes down

186
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: to a matter of preference. I find that the iPhone

187
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: ten has a much darker look to all the pictures.

188
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: And if you want to see this, you can go

189
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: on my website rich on tech dot TV. I took

190
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: a bunch of pictures with the iPhone, the Samsung, and

191
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: also the Pixel, so you can compare them and see

192
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 2: what you think. All right, the phone lines are open

193
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: if you want to call in three one zero five

194
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: nine four three zero zero three three one zero five

195
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: nine four three zero zero three call in with your

196
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: tech questions. Let me know what's going on, and you know,

197
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: we'll get some of your questions answered. Roberto says, I'm

198
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: so happy with my Google Pixel. It is awesome, and yeah,

199
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: I agree. The Google Pixel is one of my favorite devices.

200
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: Talk about boring though, I mean, it really is a

201
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: boring device, and that's what people love about it. It's

202
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: very simple, it has the base software that Google gives you,

203
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: and then you can add on and do whatever you want.

204
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: And people like that simplicity, especially when you're kind of

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: like a super user. You don't want anything extra on

206
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: your device that you have not installed. That's always the

207
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: way I've been with everything, and the iPhone is kind

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: of like that as well, except it does have a

209
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: lot of features built in.

210
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's see where else are we going here?

211
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: Every week?

212
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Oh, MARTA's getting onto.

213
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: MARTA's saying, every week there's an update on the iPhone

214
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: or iOS eleven on the iPad. What's going on?

215
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Why so many updates?

216
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: And every time I device malfunctions after each update? I agree.

217
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: I was just talking to my mom about this and

218
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: she agrees. She's like, why is there have to be

219
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: an update every single day for all this stuff? I mean,

220
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: really do we need this many updates? And the answer

221
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: is yeah, apparently you do because they're always fixing little

222
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: things like the software, the the viruses, like all these

223
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 2: little bugs that they find they just fix and that's

224
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: why we have all these updates now. I will say

225
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: that iPhone used to have updates very few and far between,

226
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: especially when it was between iOS launches. It was like

227
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: maybe once a year. Or twice a year. Now, it's like,

228
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: literally just so many times. It's kind of insane how

229
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: many times. Let's see here, man, we have a lot

230
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: of Melanireene says for us simple minded folks, what is

231
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: the best phone for the book? A more all around simple,

232
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: yet reliable. Uh. If I was gonna say what the

233
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 2: best phone is for you guys that don't really care

234
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: about all the craziness, I'm gonna go with the Moto

235
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: G five plus. And the reason why I like this

236
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: device is because, first off, it's unlocked, so you can

237
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: buy it right from Amazon. And it's one hundred and

238
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what they do they got rid of it?

239
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: Oh no? Uh oh, I guess that means a new

240
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: one's coming out. Oh shoot, they must have I think

241
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: they got rid of that. Or they guess they're coming

242
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: out with some new phones. So oh, here we go.

243
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Here it is Moto G five plus. I guess they

244
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: came up with the wrong one, but here it is

245
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty nine bucks and it's a lot cheaper. Oh,

246
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: if you're Amazon Prime, it's two fifty nine sixty four gigabyte.

247
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 2: You can get a thirty two gigabyte for a lot

248
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: cheaper two hundred and four bucks, So two hundred and

249
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 2: five dollars for the Moto G Plus, and it has

250
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: everything you need. Plus it's unlocked, so that means all

251
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: you have to do is bring it to your carrier.

252
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: It's right here, it says you can see it says

253
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 2: AT and T, T Mobile, Sprint and Verizon fully compatible.

254
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: And I like this phone because there's not a lot

255
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: of junk installed on it. Now, the camera's not gonna

256
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: be the best in the world. It's not gonna be

257
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: like an iPhone camera, but it's gonna be a nice

258
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: little device that just sort of works. And you can

259
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: get your calls, you can take calls, you can send

260
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: your text. It runs a nice version of Android. So

261
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna be just fine with this and you're talking,

262
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: you're out the door. Two hundred and five dollars. That's

263
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: a pretty good deal. And it's got a fingerprint sensor

264
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: as well, so that to me is a very high quality,

265
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: kind of good all around device if you're looking for

266
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: something like that. So a good question, because I always

267
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: I always get that question. I always recommend that phone. Now,

268
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: if you want to take a little step up, I

269
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 2: would recommend this the one plus five T, but this

270
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: is going to be a little bit more expensive, and

271
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: the one plus five T is a really nice device,

272
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: but it's five hundred bucks, so now you're getting kind

273
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: of like half the price of one of these main phones.

274
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: But this is like, this is a serious device.

275
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: This is really really nice, and you're gonna get a

276
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: very high quality device. There three one zero five nine

277
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: four three zero zero three three one zero five nine

278
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: four three zero zero three.

279
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Don't be shy.

280
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: You can call in and have your your question answered

281
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: on air.

282
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: So give me a call. Eight oh five.

283
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: You're on with Rich Really Wow, Hello.

284
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: Hi Rich, this is Michael. I'm from Seamy Valley.

285
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: Michael, what's going on?

286
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: You picked up really quick, so I was like thrown off.

287
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: I was expecting to hear dead music or something.

288
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: No, it's just me.

289
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: It's a one man show, so it's just pick.

290
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: It up and you're on.

291
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: Great. Well, I have a couple of ques sincetoria. First

292
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: of all, I just dumped direct TV, cut the chord,

293
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: I guess, and got DirecTV. Now, okay, congrat which for

294
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: the most part, I'm happy with a couple of questions

295
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: about that, Sure, First of all, I'm kind of upset

296
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: that they don't make it very clear that it does

297
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: not output any kind of five point one sound. Oh yeah,

298
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: and that's kind of a drag, because there's some great

299
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: shows on that. You know, this surround is a great

300
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: effect to that. Do you know of any live TV

301
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: services that do output five point one?

302
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's not something you hear about very often.

303
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: I have not heard that. Let's see now, so I'm

304
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: looking at I'm looking at an article. It looks like

305
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: it is five point one on certain channels with DirecTV Now.

306
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: So there's a great website called chord Cutter's News, and

307
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: they I think they're based actually in LA I always

308
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: follow them.

309
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: But let's see.

310
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: According to some readers who are beta testers for DirecTV Now,

311
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: five point one audio is being offered on some channels,

312
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: including MTV, but not all channels, so so, I mean,

313
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: unless you're watching a lot of MTV. But so, I

314
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: think it sounds like it's on a case by case basis.

315
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: I think what's happening, Michael, with all these services is

316
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: there they're still very much in their infancy, you know,

317
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: they're just trying to get the basics down right, now,

318
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: which when I go on DirecTV Now, which I have,

319
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: I've had it since day one, by the way, and

320
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: it's still it's still not there all the time, Like

321
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: there are times that I'm watching, like the other night

322
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: when I was watching the what was on the oscars,

323
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: I actually had to switch to my antenna because I

324
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: was getting a lot of kind of like the picture

325
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: was going in and out kind of thing. And so

326
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: I find that that happens now. I switched my mom

327
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: to it as well. She loves it. She cut the cord.

328
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: But I again, I think that these five point one

329
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: and this kind of stuff, the four K video is

330
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: really like maybe down the line because DirecTV Now doesn't

331
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: even have a DVR fund yet, so they're still trying

332
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: to work on that, and they've promised a lot of stuff.

333
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: I saw something today that it looks like they're working

334
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: on something as far as the DVR.

335
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been working on it for a long time.

336
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: They promised it a long time ago, and it's just

337
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: it's been I don't know what the problem is if

338
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: they're just having a lot of issues with it, but

339
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: I know I'm trying to get on the beta testing list,

340
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: but they won't put me on because I'm a journalist

341
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: and they don't want me kind of seeing it before

342
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: TV because I asked them they don't want Yeah, exactly.

343
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: But that's the big thing. So what uh, what I mean,

344
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: what have you noticed? What's the biggest difference between direct

345
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: TV now and kind.

346
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Of your your old cable. What did you have before

347
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: you had direct TV?

348
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: I had regular direct TV?

349
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's not that much difference.

350
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: Well, no, and actually it looks great for the most part,

351
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: but I did not this last night. You know, some

352
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: shimmering going on, you know, that digital kind of effect

353
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: that that isn't so pretty. It's especially noticeable on my

354
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: sixty inch LCD. I have a thirty two inch LCD

355
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 3: in the kitchen that uses Roku. And yeah, so I've

356
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: got Roku and Firestick and Apple TV in the house now,

357
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: so yeah.

358
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: You've got more s than I do.

359
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 3: But uh, what was I saying? Oh, on the sixty

360
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: inches it's really noticeable.

361
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and that's that's a good point you bring

362
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: up when people are like, why do we need? People

363
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: keep asking, you know, you hear about four K and

364
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: then you hear about eight K, and people keep asking

365
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: why do we need these clear you know, four K,

366
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: eight K kind of stuff. Like DVDs were just fine.

367
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: HD is great. But the difference is and this is

368
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: what you kind of noticed, is that when you get

369
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: into those bigger screen sizes, that's when you start to

370
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: notice the quality of the picture going down.

371
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Because well, especially like if you.

372
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: Look at a DVD quality, you know, four to eighty

373
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: on a sixty inch TV, you it looks it looked terrible.

374
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what we're realizing is people keep

375
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: upgrading their TVs. Right now, the sweet spot is about

376
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: fifty five inches, but now people are pushing into that

377
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: sixty sixty five because prices are coming down, and you're

378
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: going to notice that. You will notice a slight difference

379
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: in HD on a sixty inch versus you know, a

380
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: forty inch that we all started.

381
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: Out well, most definitely the imperfections become more noticeable the

382
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: bigger they get. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah. I go to

383
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: seeees every year or so, Oh you do I seen

384
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: I've seen AK. I thought AKS five six years ago.

385
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: Sharp was showing it and you know on an eighty

386
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 3: inch screen and you can get you can put your

387
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: face right up to it and you can see the

388
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: details and the little tiny bricks and in the streets

389
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: and everything.

390
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

391
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: It's pretty awesome.

392
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: It's really amazing. I think that the four K and

393
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: the eight K is going to take a lot longer

394
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: to kind of come down the line, just because broadcasters

395
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: paid so much to upgrade to HD just recently. You

396
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: know how many how many years ago was that ten whatever?

397
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 2: I know, So I think they're all kind of in

398
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: a they're like just holding out as long as humanly

399
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: possible for the four K stuff. And you know, now

400
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: with these streaming services, you know they're really I mean

401
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: the four K on there. I mean you're talking much

402
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: more bandwidth, many more issues with people saying like, hey,

403
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm paying for four K, but I'm not getting it

404
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: because my internet's not fast enough. So all these services,

405
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 2: I mean Netflix obviously and and Amazon have a lot

406
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: of four K content. I mean Netflix, all the new

407
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: shows are in four K. And it does look pretty

408
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: good if you have a.

409
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: Four really good. So I do, and it looks really

410
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: really good. I have one other question for sir. I'm

411
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: in seeing you now. I'll go with my direct TV now,

412
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: So how do I get short of mirroring. You know,

413
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: I can stream it on my phone and mirror it

414
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: to my Apple TV, but I don't have Apple TV

415
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 3: in the kitchen where I'm at at five o'clock in

416
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: the morning, so.

417
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: I know it's it's a problem.

418
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: I had to get an antenna to see because I

419
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: cord cut as well, so I have an antenna that

420
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: does the channel five KTLA is the only channel just

421
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: for the folks watching and listening that's not on any

422
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: of these streaming services right now. Now, do I think

423
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 2: that's gonna change? Absolutely?

424
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Do I know when?

425
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 2: No, But I think if I had to guess, I

426
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: think that we're gonna be there, like just literally it

427
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: will happen overnight. It'll just be like I mean, they're

428
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: working on it, I think because they know they understand

429
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: that we're not there. But these things take time for

430
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: our company, you know, we're you know, the other companies,

431
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: a lot of them are like the Fox affiliates, the

432
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: NBC affiliates, the CBS affiliates. They do sort of a

433
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: package deal with like NBC to say, hey, we're gonna

434
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: have all of our affiliates. We're different because we're independent

435
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: and we're not an NBC or CBS affiliate. So that's

436
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: why it's kind of taken a little bit longer, I think,

437
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: but we're gonna be there.

438
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: But antenda.

439
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 2: The only other thing I can say, Michael, is the

440
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: other kind of hack you can do is you can

441
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: watch the live stream on Apple on a fire TV

442
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: through the web browser. So that's what a lot of

443
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: people have been doing a video on my face.

444
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: Page about that.

445
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: So it's not perfect, but it's there, you know.

446
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I Michigan, hopefully it'll come to

447
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: But funny thing is, you guys were the first ones

448
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: to broadcast in HD when you did the Rose Parade

449
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: way back when.

450
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: I know, the first and the first and HD. But

451
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: then you know, it's one of these things. Believe me,

452
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: I'm in I'm in the office every day asking so

453
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: I am. I am always like when are we? When

454
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: are we going to be on? Because that's I get

455
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: the most emails every single It used to be the

456
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: number one email I got was what cell phone do

457
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: I get? And now it's when is KTLA going to

458
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: be on the streaming services? And I really don't have

459
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 2: an answer. I ask every day and I don't think

460
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: that anyone's going to know until it happens. So all right, Michael,

461
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: thanks so much for calling in. Enjoy that direct TV now,

462
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: thank you, all right, have a good day. Uh, there

463
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: you have it. Three one zero five nine four three

464
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 2: zero zero three. So Jill says on that line, which

465
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: antenna to get? And I'm actually going to do a

466
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: segment on these. But the one that I like the best,

467
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: and I feel like I've mentioned this before is the

468
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: Moho Leaf Glide. So the Mohu Leaf is pretty simple.

469
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 2: That's a really cheap one. I think it starts at

470
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: like forty bucks. But the Glide is going to give

471
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: you a better, better signal for sure, but it's gonna

472
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: be a little bit more expensive. You're talking ninety dollars. Now,

473
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: that's expensive. But let me just see how much it

474
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: is on Amazon. I'm curious. Maybe it's the same price,

475
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: maybe it's a little cheaper. The Glide is eighty seven

476
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: eighty seven bucks, and let me just see how much

477
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 2: the leaf is. The Mohu Leaf is eighteen bucks. If

478
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: you want to get the premium on just just look

479
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: at Mohumhu and see what antennas they have. They all

480
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: their antennas are really phenomenal. They just really are. They

481
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: do a really nice job, and they kind of are

482
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: inside your house as well.

483
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's see who else do we have here.

484
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: Duke looks like he's back to the question of the

485
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 2: Samsung S eight versus the Note eight. I think that

486
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: they're basically the same when it comes to the camera.

487
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: The Say Plus supposedly it's a little bit better due

488
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: to the memory and the software, but the Note eight

489
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: kind of has the same camera setup. So if you

490
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: want the big phone with the stylist, go at the essay.

491
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: I think that's gonna work. Colin says, Oh, Michael says,

492
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention we can't get any signal in

493
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: Seemi Valley.

494
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh well, then that's a problem.

495
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna yeah, that's this. Someone's got to come up

496
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 2: with a solution for this whole KTLA thing not being on.

497
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: Colin says, I worked on test shoots with four K

498
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: cameras about twelve years ago.

499
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: It will probably be another six to twelve.

500
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: Years before everything is broadcasted in four K. Wow, so

501
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: that's a yeah, six to twelve years, So I would agree.

502
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: I bet you it's probably gonna be at least five

503
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: years before four K takes off on the broadcast level

504
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: three one zero five.

505
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: Nine four three zero zero three. So I'm going green.

506
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 2: By the way, with my iPad here, I'm trying to

507
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: I usually print out all the stories I want to

508
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: talk about, but this time I put them all on

509
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: my iPad so I can not have to waste all

510
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: this paper. So let's see which one that I want

511
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: to talk about next. Let's talk about Netflix. So Netflix,

512
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: this is an interesting little study. I guess. They revealed

513
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: some data to journalists and at recode they talked about

514
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: people watching Netflix. So and this is not really it's

515
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: not stuff that you wouldn't think basically, it's kind of

516
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: a no brainer. But basically what they're saying is most

517
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: people sign up for Netflix from their computer, Okay forty

518
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: percent of sign ups, and then the phone is thirty percent.

519
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: But guess where they end up watching Netflix the most?

520
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: Their TV?

521
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: Seventy percent of streams end up on connected TVs instead

522
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: of phones, tablets, or PCs.

523
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: And why is this interesting? Well, it's interesting.

524
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: Because the whole point of Netflix and all these kind

525
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: of services that work everywhere on all your devices is

526
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: that at the end of the day, people are still

527
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: sitting down on their couch in their living room and

528
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: they're watching Netflix on the best screen in the house.

529
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: So seventy percent of Netflix is consumed on TV screens.

530
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: And you might find that kind of interesting.

531
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: With all the people out there with smartphones and tablets

532
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: and travelers and this and that and all to talk

533
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: about having TV everywhere, at the end of the day,

534
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: people still just want their TV on their TV, even

535
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: with Netflix, where you can watch on literally anything. Now,

536
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: do I think it's awesome that you can use Netflix everywhere? Yes,

537
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: And that's part of the reason why I cut the cord.

538
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't about the money I was paying to Direct

539
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: TV and before that at and T, but it was

540
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: really about the flexibility of my signal. I can watch

541
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: direct TV now from anywhere I want, and that is

542
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: what I think is really cool about it. And I

543
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: think that's cool about all the services like Sling TV

544
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 2: and YouTube TV, is that you get TV on your terms.

545
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: And that's really kind of what's going on here, and

546
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 2: it's kind of funny. The ironic part is that most

547
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: people are just watching Netflix on their regular TV. Let

548
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: me talk about this. This is another thing related to Netflix,

549
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: they have more parntal controls now, so they basically made

550
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: it so that you can control what your kids are

551
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: watching on the TV. Now here's the deal. Netflix is

552
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: not very good when it comes to all these printal controls.

553
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: I feel like they're just stumbling their way through, like

554
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: all their growth, but they are realizing that parents want

555
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: a little bit more control. I did a blog post

556
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 2: about how I wanted to turn off auto play for

557
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: the next episode for my kids. I turned it off

558
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 2: from my account because it gives me so much stress

559
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: when I don't binge watch. So I'm sitting there watching

560
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: a show and next thing you know, it's like counting

561
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: down ten seconds, and I feel like the time for

562
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: between shows has gotten so short. It's like it used

563
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: to be like thirty seconds. Now it's like eight seconds

564
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: before the next one just starts playing. I don't want that.

565
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: I guess I'm in the minority here because a lot

566
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 2: of you commented on my Facebook page that you know

567
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: you like that, so you can binge watch stuff I

568
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: don't personally, so I figured out how to turn it

569
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: off for myself. Then when I went to look for

570
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 2: my kids, I was like, this is not very easy.

571
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: So it took me a little slew thing, but I

572
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: figured it out. And the deal is, I wrote the whole.

573
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: I wrote the whole like blog post. But the bottom

574
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 2: line is you basically have to go into your profiles,

575
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: edit them, turn off your kids profile so it basically

576
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: becomes an adult profile for a little bit, go into

577
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: their account, turn off auto play, and then turn it

578
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: back into a kid's profile.

579
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: I know, who lots of work to do that.

580
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: Netflix, Come on, we got to have like a master

581
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: thing where I can change all the profiles. One other

582
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: thing they added that's kind of cool too with the

583
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: pin is that you can now block specific titles. So

584
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 2: for a long time, I would not let my kid

585
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: watch SpongeBob. That's all he wanted to watch, even as

586
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: like a two year old, and I was like, no,

587
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: you're not watching this. I don't even know anything about

588
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: this show. So I want to make sure that this

589
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: show is okay. Well, now, but every time you'd see

590
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 2: it on Netflix, you click it. Well, now you can

591
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: go in and take certain titles out, so it will

592
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: literally not let your kid play those titles. And one

593
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: more thing, and this I think is actually brilliant on

594
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: Netflix's part. They are now showing you the rating of

595
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: a program when you press the play button. So that

596
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: means that, like every time my kids were watching like

597
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: a new show on Netflix, I'm like, what is this show?

598
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: How'd you find it?

599
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: What's the rating on it? And I have to go

600
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: back like eight screens to find the rating. Now, when

601
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: you press the play button, it will show you the

602
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: rating right off the bat. And now it doesn't say

603
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: exactly if like you pause the show and you press

604
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: play again, if it shows the rating again. I hope

605
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: that's how they did it, because that would make it

606
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 2: much easier for parents and say, hey, let me see something. Pause,

607
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: see the rating, press play and the rating comes up,

608
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 2: and then you can let their kids be on their

609
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: merry way. So yeah, there you go. Three one zero

610
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: five nine four three zero zero three. Don't be shy

611
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: three one zero five to nine four three zero zero three.

612
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: If you have a question for me, go ahead and

613
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: let me know what your question is. And Nicole says,

614
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: that has been there for at least the past two years.

615
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: I've had a pin up my kids stuff for the

616
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: last two years. Yes, that is true, has been there,

617
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: but now they give you much more finer control with

618
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: that pin, so you can actually, you know, like I said,

619
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: do the blocking of specific shows, and you can also

620
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: block certain maturity levels which you couldn't do before. So yes,

621
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: the pin has been there, but they did do some

622
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: more work with that as well. Let's see here, Mel says,

623
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: do you know if there's gonna be anything with our

624
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: technology that promotes youth to go to their local libraries

625
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: and pick up a book?

626
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: You know, that's a that's a good question.

627
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: I mean do they have to? I don't know. I mean,

628
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm all into technology and I still love my books,

629
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 2: So I think that really comes down to personal preference. Now,

630
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: with kids and the Internet and Wikipedia and all that

631
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 2: good stuff, do they need to go to the library

632
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: to do as much research?

633
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's a good question.

634
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's I think that we've been in this

635
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: technology stuff for so short right now that we don't

636
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: know what the effect is, and I think that's all

637
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: kind of evolving.

638
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: Six sund with Rich.

639
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: Hi, Rich, this is Laura calling from Pasadena.

640
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: Hey Laura, how are you doing good?

641
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: How are you?

642
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? What's on your mind?

643
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: Watch you every day?

644
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: Thank you?

645
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 4: Because I went to take advantage of the new battery

646
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: for the iPhone the offer, and my existing battery was

647
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: at eighty percent and they said it was time to

648
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 4: replace it.

649
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 5: Is that true?

650
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's well, what phone do you have?

651
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 5: Six s?

652
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: Okay, you have the success I would probably replace it.

653
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, eighty percent is actually pretty good for a

654
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: phone that's you know, you're talking what three to two

655
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: and a half two years old? Two and a half

656
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: years old?

657
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: Yees?

658
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 4: Two years old?

659
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: So two years old. I mean I don't think you.

660
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a Have you noticed that your

661
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: phone's slowing down a lot?

662
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: It did slow It was slowing down.

663
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, here's the thing. You could do two things.

664
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: So there's gonna be an update for for iOS coming

665
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: out in the next type probably say six months, if

666
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: not earlier, iOS eleven point three. That's going to give

667
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: you the ability to turn off the slowdown on your iPhone,

668
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: so even though your battery has been degrading. And this

669
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: whole thing for people that are listening is that Apple said, look,

670
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: we know that batteries go bad over the years, So

671
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: what we want to do is we kind of throttle

672
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: your phone back a little bit. So that the battery

673
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: doesn't shut off the phone unexpectedly, or you don't get

674
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: an unexpected restart, or apps don't crash, So we slow

675
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: your phone down just a little bit because we want

676
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: to make sure the battery can handle that speed. So

677
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: what they're saying is in the next version of iOS,

678
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: they're going to give that option to the user to say,

679
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll deal with the occasional crash, the

680
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: occasional app not working, but I'd rather have my full

681
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: speed phone even if my battery is kind of degraded.

682
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: So you can wait for that and kind of go

683
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: through that. But it's I mean, how.

684
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Much do they ask you for the battery to be replaced?

685
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Thirty bucks?

686
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, thirty bucks.

687
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if you just want to do it, because

688
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: this is a time where you know, they don't usually

689
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: offer that. Usually it's eighty dollars to do this, and

690
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: you have the thirty dollars and it makes you feel better,

691
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: then maybe do it and you you will see an

692
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: improvement in your phone.

693
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: But again, you could wait for that software too.

694
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks a lot. I appreciate it, all.

695
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: Right, Laura, that's good word.

696
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much.

697
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: Thanks for watching.

698
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate it all right.

699
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: Uh five oh nine.

700
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: You're on with Rich.

701
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 6: Hi, Rich, This is Glenda.

710
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: Really, no, I think.

00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: So what do you want right now?

Speaker 2: So okay, well that's a good gift I have that.

718
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: That's uh, that's a quick upgrade. Now what are you

719
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 2: gonna do with the old phone? You're trading it in?

720
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: What's happening with that?

721
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 6: Trading in?

722
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: Okay?

723
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: So trading it in? So what can I help you with?

724
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 6: So are there anything that you can tell me that

725
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 6: is going to be more than the S eight plus?

726
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 6: And then what cases do you recommend?

727
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: Okay? So the S eight plus versus the S nine plus.

728
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're not going to see a huge difference.

729
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna be like, Okay, this is great. Obviously,

730
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: the software is going to be newer. You have a new,

731
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, new version of Android on there. The you know,

732
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: everything got kind of a little tiny makeover with the

733
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: soft for you know this little refinements here and there.

734
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: The camera has been improved with the software and some

735
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: of the extra processing they do on it. So this

736
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: camera's going to take more pictures, especially in low light,

737
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 2: and it's gonna make them look better. So your low

738
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: light pictures, you're definitely gonna notice a difference. You're also

739
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 2: gonna notice they added this gets a little bit crazy,

740
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: but in low light it lets a lot more it

741
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: lets a lot more light in, and so that's something

742
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: they've added as well. And then they've also added new

743
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: dual speakers, so you're gonna have stereo sound for the

744
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: first time through your phone. So it's gonna just sound better, louder, clear,

745
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: But the screen's gonna look great.

746
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: It's gonna kind of be similar to what you have.

747
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: The other thing.

748
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna notice that you're really gonna like

749
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 2: is the the fingerprint reader is in a much easier

750
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: to access place. And I'm sure if you've been using

751
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: the say Plus over the past year, you've kind of

752
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: gotten used to where the fingerprint reader is. But I

753
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: think you're gonna realize that this is in a much

754
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: better place and it's going to be so much easier

755
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: to sort of unlock. So I think you're really gonna

756
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: like it. And I think that it's a it's I mean,

757
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 2: it's one of the best Android phones out there. There's

758
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: not really a better Android phone. The pixel might take

759
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: better pictures in certain circumstances, but I think overall, this

760
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: is probably this is the device I'll be recommending most

761
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: to people that want the best Android device out there.

762
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: So you did a good job. The other thing is

763
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: you asked about a case, So.

764
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: It's tough. I think a case is a very personal thing.

765
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: Do do you want something that offers a lot of

766
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: protection on the phone or something that looks good or something.

767
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 6: That's thin, protection and fashion?

768
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: Okay, protection and fashion. So I'll tell you the number

769
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: one selling case in the world is this one. It's

770
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: a let's see, it's like the gosh, it's the cell

771
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: iris like sparkle case, which I think you've probably seen

772
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: a lot of people have. I'm trying to find it,

773
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: but it's just the funny. It's like literally the it's

774
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: the case that has like the liquid in the back

775
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: with the little sparkles and I'm trying to find a picture. Okay,

776
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: but that's like I went into the Verizon store when

777
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: I was doing a segment with them, and I said, Hey,

778
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: what's the top selling you know case overall, And that's

779
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: the one. They said, let's see. I'm just there we go. Casemate.

780
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: That's it, Casemate sparkle case. Oh there it is, Okay,

781
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: let me show you guys on the live stream. So

782
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: this is it. This is the top selling case in America. Basically,

783
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: this is it. So it's got like the liquid in

784
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: the back and the little sparkles that move around. It's

785
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 2: called the Casemate. I don't know if they say with

786
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: the like specific name, but there's a rhinestone version and

787
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 2: then there's a sparkle version. But those are the ones

788
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: that people love. Yeah, it's a glitter in the back,

789
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: someone's saying on the live chat. Now, my personal favorite

790
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: case overall is this case, which is the spec Presidio

791
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: grip and this case I think is just fantastic. So

792
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: it's a it's been they've been making it forever. Speck

793
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: kind of made their brand name on this case, and

794
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: it's just it's the most standard case they make. It's

795
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: got these great grips. You will never drop your phone

796
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: with this case on it. But it's it's bulky. It's

797
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: gotten less bulky because they made it about twenty percent

798
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: thinner this time around. But it's a big case. But

799
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the case. If I was getting a

800
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: case for the SS nine plus, that's the case I

801
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: would get because I really like it. And it comes

802
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: to a bunch of different colors you can get. You

803
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: don't have to get black like I would get. You

804
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: can get some other more fun colors as well. But

805
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: those are my two. The other cases I would look

806
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: at are Tech twenty one. I really like that brand.

807
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 2: I think they make some really fantastic cases and that's

808
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 2: kind of my picks that I have now.

809
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tech twenty one.

810
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if you like that, I mean, what

811
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: do you think of that one?

812
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 6: I've had it for a little almost well quite a year,

813
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 6: and I haven't changed cases. My other one I had,

814
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 6: I had like, oh.

815
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: Wow, you're you're as bad as me.

816
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm like changing cases every day now if if you

817
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 2: really want to get crazy now and don't. I don't

818
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: recommend this for most people, but this is my One

819
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: of my favorite cases is called Peel, and this is.

820
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Basically super duper thin.

821
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: It's like almost like putting a like plastic wrap on

822
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 2: your phone, that's how thin it is. It's just a

823
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: tiny sleeve you put on there and it only prevents

824
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: scratches on your phone, like when you put it on

825
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: the table or something like that. Yeah, that's uh, that's

826
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: a really thin case. I always buy one of those

827
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: from my phones because they look they do not protect

828
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 2: your phone at all. But I'm just telling you about

829
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: different cases. Peel is one of my favorites as well,

830
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: and a lot of people are chiming in on on

831
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: the the chat saying about all the cases they like,

832
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 2: and Peter says, or there's some super cheap but good

833
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: cases out there. Yes, the one that I always order

834
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: that's super cheap is Speagan uh S P I G

835
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: E N. And those you can get on Amazon for

836
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: like less than ten bucks, and they're they're pretty cheap,

837
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 2: but they're good. They're good quality, so I like those

838
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: as well.

839
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,400

Speaker 1: Quartz Hill?

860
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'd be lying if I said I know where

861
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: that is, but I assume that's somewhere in Los Angeles. Rights, Lancaster, Okay,

862
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 2: got it, Lancaster.

863
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: All right, awesome, So what's what question?

864
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: Is your mom? Your mom is too embarrassed to go

865
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: on the live show, so you're calling in for I

866
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 2: love it. Okay, she's driving. Okay, well, in that case,

867
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: I love it even more because she's being safe and

868
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: that is smart, so awesome. So what what's the question?

869
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 5: Her question is she's trying to divorce our cable company,

870
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 5: and she was wondering, what's.

871
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: Our best options for an internet provider? Oh, what's the

872
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: best option for internet? Now you're in Lancaster, you probably

873
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: don't have that many options. That's the problem, and that's

874
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: the problem for pretty much everyone in America.

875
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: Is that we usually have one to two choices.

876
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: For internet in our homes and our apartments as are

877
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: sometimes even worse, sometimes you only have one choice.

878
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: So that's the problem. Who do you have right now?

879
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes, Spectrum? Okay?

880
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: And what don't you like about Spectrum?

881
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: Are you trying to get rid of cable or cable

882
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: internet or both? Pretty much?

883
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

884
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: Pretty much everything?

885
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are getting expensive. Here's the thing. Okay, So

886
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: the website, I recommend you got to look up this

887
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: website to see what's available in your area.

888
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's the first thing you have to do.

889
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: And the website is called all connect dot com A

890
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 2: L L C O N N E C T Allconnect

891
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: dot com You pop in your address and it will

892
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: tell you all the providers that are in your area,

893
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: or most of them. It's not always perfect, but most

894
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: of the time it gets it right. So that's the

895
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: main thing you have to do. And then you're going

896
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: to find that you probably only have a choice of

897
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 2: either the internet, the cable company, or the T or

898
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: the phone company.

899
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: And you know, if the.

900
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: Phone company is good, if it's decent, if it's AT

901
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: and T or something or FiOS, that's probably better. But

902
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 2: with Spectrum, you're probably that's probably gonna be your best bet.

903
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 2: You just have to figure out when you cancel cable

904
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 2: with them, they're gonna be they're gonna.

905
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: Want to charge you more for your Internet. That's really

906
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: how it works.

907
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 2: So that's.

908
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: How much are they asking for?

909
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 3: Uh?

910
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 4: They won eighty dollars for just the internet service?

911
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot.

912
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: That's that's eighty bucks a month is a lot for

913
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 2: just internet. Now, I will say their average, if you're

914
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: not on a promotion, is about sixty a month. So

915
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: I would say, here's what you need to do with

916
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: with Spectrum. Have you called and asked for the Have

917
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 2: you called and said I want to cancel I get.

918
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 4: I did, Yes, I did.

919
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 5: But that's what they said.

920
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: If you want to cancel, cancel because the thing is

921
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: that we used to be the other cable company. What

922
00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 4: Time Warner.

923
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's done.

924
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 4: How they have me underd Time Warner Expectrum and my

925
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 4: rate right now with them just for TV and cables

926
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty dollars.

927
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: Let's stop, right, that's all great, that's a lot. Yeah. Boy.

928
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 4: I called them and I say, hey, I need to

929
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 4: cancel this. It's not working for me. You know, it's

930
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 4: too much money. So they said, if I want to

931
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 4: cancel a kind cable, they will charge me eighty dollars

932
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 4: for you.

933
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, Internet, Yes, and that is true. They will

934
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: do that. But here's the deal. Did you ever get

935
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 2: transferred to a different department. No, okay, so that's what

936
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: you need to do. So I just did this. I

937
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: just went through this with my mom and she was

938
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: doing the same thing. I called up the first time

939
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: and they said, yeah, just you're gonna pay eighty bucks

940
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 2: a month whatever it was ninety dollars a month, and

941
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: I said, okay, well then we'd like to cancel. And

942
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: that's when they transfer you to the person that can

943
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 2: actually cut you a deal. So that's my recommendation is

944
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: to call in again and you can either ask directly

945
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: for the re tension department or you can say, Hi,

946
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: I'd like to cancel my service. Can you please transfer

947
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: me to the operator. The normal operators that are answering

948
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: are not the people that cancel your service. They want

949
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: to give you one last deal before you go, So

950
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 2: that's what you need to do. And yeah, ask for

951
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: the retention department, and I think you're going to get

952
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 2: a better deal.

953
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: Aim for that sixty.

954
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: Dollars a month factor if you get If you can

955
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: get fifty, that'd be amazing. But really you're probably gonna

956
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 2: end up paying about sixty bucks a month for internet.

957
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of the going rate these cable companies.

958
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: And thanks so much for the call. These cable companies

959
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: are realizing that people are cutting the cord. So what

960
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: do you think They're not going to sort of say, oh,

961
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 2: no problem, we're gonna let you cut the cord and

962
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, no big deal. No, they really want to

963
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: make sure that they're getting their money's worth out of you.

964
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: So if you cut the cord for cable, they're just

965
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: going to charge you a little bit more for the

966
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: internet three one zero five nine four three zero zero three.

967
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm in that same boat right now.

968
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 2: I've got I was paying about forty five a month

969
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 2: for my spectrum and now it's gone up to sixty.

970
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 2: And the first person I call was like, yeah, that's

971
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 2: just the deal. You can't get another deal. So I'm

972
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: gonna keep calling back until I do. Well, we'll get

973
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 2: it in there one of these days, let's see, uh

974
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 2: before I take well, I'll take one more call before

975
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: the show ends because we've been on for man how

976
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: long we've been on? Oh fifty minutes? Okay, but let

977
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 2: me just talk about Zagit really quick. It was a

978
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: gat whatever you want to call it. But you know,

979
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: this was a brand that when I came to LA

980
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: for the first time, zagit was like it you when

981
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: you went to a restaurant you checked the zagut rating, right,

982
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you just knew it had those three ratings.

983
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: It was like out of thirty.

984
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, service decor I forget what

985
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 2: the three things work. But it was like, you know

986
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: those three little terms.

987
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: One was service, one.

988
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: Was food, and I forget what the other one was

989
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: Ambiance maybe, but that company, you know, as we got

990
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: Yelp in the Internet, they kind of got you know,

991
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: passed over. And then Google bought them back in twenty

992
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: eleven and one hundred and fifty one million dollars, and

993
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: they thought, oh, this is gonna be great. They're gonna

994
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: bring zagit into the digital age. Of course you have

995
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 2: Google Maps, you can mix it in. They did all

996
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 2: that stuff. Nothing happened. Is no one talks about zagut

997
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: ratings anymore, sadly, because I still think they're really fun.

998
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: Like I always loved them. I love the way they

999
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: wrote them. I always loved everything about them. Well, now

1000
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: Google is selling it, is selling it. I don't know

1001
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: how much they sold it for.

1002
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't really say.

1003
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: But they passed it on to a new owner, an

1004
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: upstart restaurant review company called The Infatuation. And they said

1005
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: they were very excited about this because zagit was started

1006
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy nine as a kind of a way

1007
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: to help friends find the best restaurants, and similarly, the

1008
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: Infatuation was built in two thousand and nine to help

1009
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: people find the best restaurants.

1010
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: So now they're going to own them. It's called the Infatuation.

1011
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: Let's see what their website looks like, because I've never

1012
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 2: heard of that, the infatuation. So here's the thing that's

1013
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: kind of annoying though, is that the infatuation is gonna

1014
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: run zagit separately. So that's kind of weird. It's like,

1015
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: why can't you just run it, like, let's mix this up,

1016
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: let's get it. Okay, So here's the article on it

1017
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: that they're getting zagat So maybe it's a gap, I

1018
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: don't know, but anyway, let's just find Let's see if

1019
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: I put in Los Angeles, let's see what this says

1020
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 2: for the restaurants. Okay, so it's got the greatest hits list.

1021
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 2: Oh you guys, sorry, I forgot to switch this thing.

1022
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: The best new restaurants in Los Angeles, the best sushi

1023
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: and rest the best sushi. Let's see the best sushi

1024
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: is thirty one. Best sushi places, let's see everyday sushi kiro. Interesting.

1025
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm definitely not a sushi aficionado, so I don't really know.

1026
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 2: I know, like one sushi place and that's it.

1027
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: But this is interesting. Okay, So they do kind of like.

1028
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: A rating as well, eight point four. But we'll see.

1029
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I'm I have a lot of

1030
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 2: nostalgia for Zagit because I always had the book and

1031
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: I would always look up restaurants and that was the

1032
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: way to go to restaurants in Los Angeles for so

1033
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 2: many years. And it just you know, now it's it's

1034
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: totally kind of gone down. Back to our last conversation,

1035
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: Irwin says, I called Spectrum last week and I asked

1036
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 2: for the retention department and they cut my bill down

1037
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: to twenty dollars less a month. Look at that.

1038
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: Whoo Because we talked about it.

1039
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: On the last podcast, which was two weeks ago, and

1040
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 2: I talked about the retention department and yeah, that's what

1041
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 2: everyone's That's what everyone did. So that's awesome.

1042
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's see here, what else do we have we've got?

1043
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh, Grace says, I was able to lower my Spectrum

1044
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: Internet down to fifty two a month, all right, so

1045
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: there's hope. So it looks like fifty two is good, okay,

1046
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: And Anastasia, I'm jumping around a lot today. Anastasia says,

1047
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: I never checked that rating. Always look at yelp. Now

1048
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 2: I know we all look at YELP. Let me give

1049
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: you my little way, I search Yelp because I do

1050
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: it a little bit differently than everyone else. So when

1051
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm in an area, I go to Yelp and I search,

1052
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, restaurants, and then I do so sort by

1053
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: most reviewed.

1054
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: So the most.

1055
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 2: Reviewed restaurant basically gives you, kind of, wherever you are,

1056
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: the restaurant that the most people are going to. It's

1057
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: not always the best or the finest, or the most

1058
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 2: expensive or the best food, but it kind of usually

1059
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 2: is known for something. So if you're it's just kind

1060
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: of a fun thing I do because I'm in that area,

1061
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: I want to know the restaurant that everyone's sort of

1062
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: going to. But I will tell you one time this

1063
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 2: kind of backfired on me. I was doing a sometimes

1064
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 2: I fill in for Leo Laporte, the tech guy, on

1065
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: his show, his syndicated radio show, which I'll be doing,

1066
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 2: by the way in April. But I was up there

1067
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 2: in Sonoma County. I think it's Sonoma. Petaluma is where

1068
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: they do it. I think it's Sonoma County. And of

1069
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 2: course I looked at Yelp to I was there for

1070
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: you know, the two nights I do the show, and

1071
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: I wanted to find a good restaurant, and so I

1072
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 2: looked in the first restaurant that came up with some

1073
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 2: random place. It's called Garlic Joe's or something like that,

1074
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 2: whatever it was. I'm like, I'm not going there. And

1075
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 2: I realized after I left, because it had like three

1076
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: thousand ratings everything else had like, you know, a hundre

1077
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 2: or two hundred. I realized that the restaurant is the

1078
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 2: Guy Fierre restaurant. And so I was like, Oh, it

1079
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: didn't hit me till like six months later that it's

1080
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: I've let's see what's what's his restaurant called Guy Fiery

1081
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 2: And uh, let's see Garlic Garlic.

1082
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't.

1083
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe he did, Maybe he doesn't have

1084
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 2: Johnny Garlics. Oh he ditched it. Never mind, I guess

1085
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: he Uh, I guess he's out. Okay, he's out at

1086
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 2: Johnny Garlics and text with Sabby, So I guess he's

1087
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: not an owner anymore. But anyway, I had a lot

1088
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 2: of reviews and I didn't end up going to it.

1089
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 2: But uh, that's I guess that's why. Anyway. So that's

1090
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,479
Speaker 2: my point is that's the way I like to search yelp.

1091
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: It's just kind of fun. I mean, everyone has a

1092
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: different way of searching yelp. But yeah, all right, let's

1093
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: get some comments before. Lorraine says, when are you filling

1094
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 2: in for Leo? I think it's public knowledge because someone

1095
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: texted me, tweeted me about it, and I guess he

1096
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,479
Speaker 2: must have mentioned it on his show.

1097
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be the uh, it's gonna be the

1098
00:50:59,040 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: end of April.

1099
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 2: I'll be up there so I'll have more details when

1100
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: when I can share them. I guess when I know

1101
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: I can share them. I hope I didn't, and let's see.

1102
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 2: Michael Moffett says, I look for the most reviewed, realizing

1103
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 2: that people will go out of their way to complain

1104
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 2: if they've had a bad experience, then those who will

1105
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 2: rave That is very true.

1106
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,840

1112
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: on the local level here just for KFI, and then

1113

Speaker 2: once up at the national level for a syndicated show.

1114
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:36,960

00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 2: whole show without one of my regulars calling in.

1124
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:56,799

1127
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 5: You know, when you go into settings and then general,

1128
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 5: there's been this one. You know how it as if

1129
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 5: there's an update. It's that there's a one in a

1130
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 5: red circle. Yes, yes, and I go to software update,

1131
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 5: but then it says, you know your software is up

1132
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 5: to date, but that one, you know, the the one

1133
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 5: is still there.

1134
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I've.

1135
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 5: Shut it down, I've did a soft reset, but it's

1136
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 5: still there.

1137
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

1138
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: It's something to do with the This is funny.

1139
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 2: This actually happened to my my father in law. He

1140
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: was going crazy over it. And basically you have to

1141
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 2: go there's like, you know how they have like those

1142
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 2: little settings on iPhone where it's like finished setting up

1143
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: your phone and all this stuff. Yeah, one of those

1144
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: is hanging somehow. So I would go back in and

1145
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: just kind of go through all those menus where basically

1146
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: you click your Apple I D you can go into

1147
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 2: your General and kind of look at software update. Let

1148
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 2: it go through there, and I think the main one

1149
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: you want to go to is your your Apple I

1150
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 2: D one at the top and kind of see because

1151
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 2: it's trying there's something that like usually when you change

1152
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 2: your like your Apple pay or something like that, they

1153
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: want you to like finish something.

1154
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: So there's something that's.

1155
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 2: Hung in there that where where's the I get that

1156
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: It's on your General settings, right, Yeah, And so when

1157
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 2: you go in there, there's nothing, nothing's highlighted in there

1158
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: at all. No.

1159
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,479
Speaker 5: Well, you know how when you go into general, there's

1160
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 5: about and then software update right right, That's that's where

1161
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 5: the one is. And then when I go into there,

1162
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 5: it just says my software is up to date. But

1163
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 5: then when I go back the one is still there.

1164
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, it's definitely hung. That's uh, it's kind of

1165
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: a it's like a little ghost setting right there.

1166
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: That's a hmm.

1167
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 2: What if you now you've did a off reset on

1168
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: your phone, Well, do.

1169
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 5: You know how you like push the power button, then

1170
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 5: hold down the the home button. That's all I did.

1171
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 5: That was gonna ask if I did a reset, would

1172
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 5: that erase all my settings?

1173
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 2: Or there's there's one reset that you can try that

1174
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: will not mess up a lot of things, and that's

1175
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: your your your Let's see here, let me go into

1176
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: the reset. There's a couple Okay, so when you go

1177
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 2: into your iPhone, there's a couple of reset options. There's

1178
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: reset all settings, erase all content in settings, and then

1179
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: reset network settings. So the two the one that you

1180
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: can try first is reset network Settings. But keep in

1181
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 2: mind that's going to delete all your Wi Fi passwords

1182
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 2: and all your Bluetooth connections. So you can try that

1183
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: if you want. I mean, I've done that before. It's

1184
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: just kind of a way to reset your phone for

1185
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: the network. Reset all settings, which I don't want to

1186
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: proceed too far because I don't really know how much

1187
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna do. But the one that you really want

1188
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: to stay away from as the erase all content and settings,

1189
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: because that one wipes your entire phone. Reset all Settings,

1190
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 2: I think just brings your phone kind of back to

1191
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: back to kind of let me just see reset all

1192
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: settings iPhone. So Yeah, this will reset let's see, keeps

1193
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 2: your apps and data, but resets your personal preferences and

1194
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 2: network settings. So you can try that. I think that

1195
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 2: that's not going to be as bad, but it might

1196
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 2: help you. Now, have you tried just closing out that app,

1197
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 2: like where you take the settings app and you sort

1198
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: of close it out by what iPhone?

1199
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: Do you have the eight or the ten?

1200
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 2: No?

1201
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: The six? Ass?

1202
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: Okay?

1203
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 2: Success, So just double click you know, your home button

1204
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: and then you know, you just wipe away the settings

1205
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: and that doesn't get get rid of it either, just

1206
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 2: get it No until there and so if you go

1207
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: into okay, here's what I want you to go into.

1208
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 2: I think it's an Apple Pay thing. That's that's my thought.

1209
00:55:58,960 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: Do you have Apple Pay on this.

1210
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 5: No, I've never set it up, never used it.

1211
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 2: See, I think they want you to set up Apple Pay.

1212
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 2: So go into your settings and where it says wallet

1213
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 2: and Apple Pay. Click there, yeah, and what.

1214
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 5: Happens, Uh, there's a Apple pay cash that's off at

1215
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 5: credit or debit card and double click home button allow excess.

1216
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: So now go back and is it still there?

1217
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1218
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: Interesting and under your Okay, So now go into your

1219
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 2: Apple ID and under the name, phone numbers, and email.

1220
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: Try that one as well. There's a lot of information

1221
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: on here. That's a you've stumped me, that's a that's

1222
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: a great How do you always have the oddest problems?

1223
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,959
Speaker 2: That's a that's a that's a stumper right there.

1224
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's uh.

1225
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if it's not doing it with a restart,

1226
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 2: I would think you might want to try those two

1227
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 2: settings to reset things before you do the reset of

1228
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 2: the you know, the main reason, not the full reset,

1229
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: but the reset your settings. I would just kind of

1230
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 2: look at that and see what the deal is with

1231
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: you know, like just kind of research a little bit.

1232
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: But I think you'll be okay. You'll just have to

1233
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 2: kind of like set up a couple of things here

1234
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 2: and there. But I think that's what it needs to

1235
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,959
Speaker 2: run through, that flow of the setup of the phone,

1236
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 2: because it's obviously hung on something and it's a weird one, okay,

1237
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 2: Steven says on his mom's phone, it was because she

1238
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: ran out of iCloud backup space, so that could happen.

1239
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: Are you are you using iCloud?

1240
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 2: No.

1241
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 5: I usually just connect my phone to the computer and

1242
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 5: download my pictures through there.

1243
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: Interesting Yeah, that's weird.

00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 2: I know. My it's funny because my father in law

1245
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: had the same problem and I did like two steps

1246
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: and I got rid of it, and he was like,

1247
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I've been looking at this thing forever.

1248
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: But it had to do with his on Apple pay.

1249
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 2: So I don't know. But all right, Greg, let me
