<v Speaker 2>you get the most out of your gadgets, answering your

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 2>tech questions live, talking about some of the cool things

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>that happened in technology over the past week. But most importantly,

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I take your phone calls where you can talk to me.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>The phone number is three one zero five to nine

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>four three zero zero three, three one zero five to

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 2>nine four three zero zero three. I'll take your calls

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>in just a bit, So think about what you need

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>to know when it comes to your tech world. There's

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot going on, and this week was all about

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the Samsung Galaxy S nine. All the reviews came out

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>for the S nine, and uh, here's the general consensus

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>about the Samsung Galaxy S nine. It's a great device.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 2>They really did a nice job of fixing all the

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>problems that anyone had with the S eight, which mainly

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 2>was the fingerprint reader. That was it, and they fix

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 2>that and that's it.

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Story closed. I mean, the book is done.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>It's there's not much more to say about this device.

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Is that if you're looking for an Android device. Ninety

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 2>nine point nine percent of people are going to buy

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the Samsung Galaxy. They're gonna buy the S eight, the

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>S seven, D S nine, one of those three phones.

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 2>If you're an Apple person, you're gonna buy the iPhone. Now,

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I will say this will probably be the phone that

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>causes some iPhone folks to want to come over and

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>jump over to the Android side. And I think that's

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>not a bad idea. The problem is people that are

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>on iPhone have become accustomed to several things, one of

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>those things being FaceTime, which you can get around they all,

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>they all, they have these these apps that work on

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>both platforms. But I'm just saying people are used to it.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing that people are used to is

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 2>really I Message, and I Message of course, only works

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>on iOS devices. You don't need I Message. It's nice

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.399
<v Speaker 2>to have, but it's not a necessity. So I think

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>that this phone will get the interest of some people

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>that are on iPhone. So let me just go through

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>some of the headlines that some of the writers had.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>My thought on the phone is that anyone who buys

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>this is gonna be very happy. It's snappy, it's fast,

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the camera's really nice. Isn't the best camera in the world. No,

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>the Google Pixel has the best camera in the world,

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 2>But does that really matter? Probably not now, I will

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>say the only thing I did notice with the camera

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that I was a little unhappy about is when I

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>was taking pictures of my kids with this camera, I

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of blurred movement. And I'm not sure

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>what the reason for that is. I don't notice that

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>on my other phones. When I take pictures with the

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>iPhone ten, I do not notice that, Nor do I

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>notice that when I take pictures with the Pixel. It

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>only happens on the Samsung right now, and so I'm

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>wondering if that's like a software update or if something

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>is a little off. I don't know what that is,

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>but that's the only thing that concerned me was that

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I was noticing a lot more blurry pictures and a

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>lot more blurry parts, like not really blurry pictures, but

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>just like this, Like you know, if their hand was

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>moving a little bit. On my other phones, it would

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of capture that and just be fine, But on

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>this you saw a little bit of a blur low light.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the s nine is going to do a

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>really nice job. I also my other downside of the

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>S nine is really the selfie camera. It's just not

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>very good. I notice a lot of blurry pictures on

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>that as well, and very your face looks sort of

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>blurred out, and I think a lot of people will

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>like that because it doesn't show a lot of your

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>wrinkles or anything like that.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.839
<v Speaker 1>But it's just a weird kind of look.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look as natural as the iPhone or the Pixel.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>But other than that, I really have no problem with

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the S nine. I think it is a fantastic device.

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that those two things that I'm talking about

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>are very nitpicky, and I don't think a lot of

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>people will even have a problem with those things.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I noticed a little bit of a lag when I

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>press the shutter button compared to the Pixel and the iPhone,

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more blur.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>And on the front facing camera.

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I noticed that it's just a little bit out of focus.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.159
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it doesn't kind of snap into focus as fast

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 2>as you'd like. But that's it. Otherwise, I think that

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>this is a very solid device. I think that Samsung

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 2>did an amazing job. I will recommend if you purchase

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 2>this phone that you need a case because it's really

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>thin on both sides, which makes it kind of tough

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to hold. I found that I love the size. The

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>form factor is way better than the pixel, and I

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>actually like it better than the iPhone too because it's

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit bigger.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>But it's just it's not easy to hold.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>They are not easy to I guess grip because it.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>Feels like it's gonna fall out of your hand.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, So some of the reviews that are in

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 2>let's see, let's see what they say. Android Central says

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic phone for the mass is not an exciting phone.

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>This doesn't need to be an exciting phone. It's the

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>top device out there for Samsung. They don't need to

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>make it crazy. It just needs to do a lot

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of good stuff. Wall Street Journal says it's impressive and infuriating,

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and he's talking about the software. Everyone everyone gets all

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>mad about the Samsung software. I don't get that mad

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>about it. I think that, yes, there is a lot

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>of stuff on there you may not need. But when

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about the average person, they're not buying a pixel.

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 2>A Google Pixel is for the super duper nerd like

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 2>myself who wants to have the pure Google experience. And

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>then add every little feature in that I want. When

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you buy a Samsung or an iPhone, you're getting all

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>the features. You don't have to download that much software

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to get a lot of these features. And I think

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>that's what these reviewers forget, is that the average person,

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>like my mom or just the random Joe, they're not

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>sitting there thinking about what markup tool they want to

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>use on their photos. They just want to press edit

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and use their finger to write on the picture. They

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>don't have to go to the app store and figure

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>out which one of these apps is going to be

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 2>best for doing that.

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Now I like to do that.

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to have to do that same thing

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>when you're scanning in a business card or a picture

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>of a you know, or a PDF or something like that.

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to sit there and go through the

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>app store and download fifteen different apps like Office Lens

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>or Scannable or.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Google Drive and see which one works the best.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>They just want to go, hey, let me scan a

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 2>document for my phone, and that's it. It works.

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the reality of these things.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>So I think these reviewers kind of lose touch just

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit when they talk about what they're doing

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>now I feel like i'm because I do TV on

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>a very broad level for people that aren't necessarily techies.

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's why I have a better understanding,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>because I get emails every single day from you guys

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>basically asking me questions that are you know, that are

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 2>things that I might take for granted. But I'm like, huh,

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>that's interesting. I didn't think of that perspective. Whereas if

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>you're writing for Wired or the Wall Street Journal, you're

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 2>just assuming a lot of these people that are reading

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the tech section are very tech savvy and smart about tech,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.440
<v Speaker 2>which I get it. So that's why you're sort of

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.679
<v Speaker 2>forgetting the fact that there's a whole bunch of people

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>out there that just kind of, you know, use their

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>gadget and they're not sitting there trying to be crazy

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>about it. Let's see what else. Yeah, I mean, all

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the reviews are pretty darn good. People are saying that

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not necessarily the best camera in the world, but

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely an improvement over the S eight and the

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 2>fingerprint readers in the right place. So and by the way,

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it also has a headphone jack, which I really like.

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>So I've been talking a lot so I kind of

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>missed a lot of what you guys are saying on here.

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>But let's see here.

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Catherine says, I've had the Samsung S six the edge.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm thinking of S eight or S nine. Catherine,

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably say go with the S nine if he can.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I would see how much the trade in is for

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the S six. I think you're gonnaet one hundred and

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty bucks for that, but definitely checked it out. And

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>this thing, just this thing does not you know, next time,

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make an hour long one.

0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Of these, because this just does not want to repeat.

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't like my U doesn't like my repeat. So

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>let's see what's better, uhat Shrevath Strevrath says, which one

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 2>is better? S nine or S nine plus Samsung camera

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>versus iPhone ten. I think the camera on the S nine, well,

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the cameras are the same on the S nine and

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 2>the S nine plus. The big difference that the S

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 2>nine plus has at dual camera setup. So if you

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>like zooming in, you know, like getting double the image,

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>like double closeness, then go with the S nine plus.

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>But otherwise they have the same main camera versus the

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 2>iPhone ten. You know, I think they both have their

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 2>pros and cons. The iPhone ten is a really solid

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.560
<v Speaker 2>camera overall. I find that the Samsung kind of looks

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more poppy, like the colors are more

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 2>saturated on there. So you know, it really comes down

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to a matter of preference. I find that the iPhone

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>ten has a much darker look to all the pictures.

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to see this, you can go

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>on my website rich on tech dot TV. I took

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of pictures with the iPhone, the Samsung, and

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>also the Pixel, so you can compare them and see

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 2>what you think. All right, the phone lines are open

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call in three one zero five

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>nine four three zero zero three three one zero five

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>nine four three zero zero three call in with your

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>tech questions. Let me know what's going on, and you know,

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>we'll get some of your questions answered. Roberto says, I'm

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 2>so happy with my Google Pixel. It is awesome, and yeah,

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I agree. The Google Pixel is one of my favorite devices.

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk about boring though, I mean, it really is a

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 2>boring device, and that's what people love about it. It's

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>very simple, it has the base software that Google gives you,

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and then you can add on and do whatever you want.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>And people like that simplicity, especially when you're kind of

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 2>like a super user. You don't want anything extra on

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 2>your device that you have not installed. That's always the

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>way I've been with everything, and the iPhone is kind

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>of like that as well, except it does have a

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of features built in.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's see where else are we going here?

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Every week?

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh, MARTA's getting onto.

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>MARTA's saying, every week there's an update on the iPhone

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 2>or iOS eleven on the iPad. What's going on?

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Why so many updates?

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 2>And every time I device malfunctions after each update? I agree.

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I was just talking to my mom about this and

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>she agrees. She's like, why is there have to be

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 2>an update every single day for all this stuff? I mean,

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.840
<v Speaker 2>really do we need this many updates? And the answer

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>is yeah, apparently you do because they're always fixing little

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>things like the software, the the viruses, like all these

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.719
<v Speaker 2>little bugs that they find they just fix and that's

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 2>why we have all these updates now. I will say

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 2>that iPhone used to have updates very few and far between,

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>especially when it was between iOS launches. It was like

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe once a year. Or twice a year. Now, it's like,

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>literally just so many times. It's kind of insane how

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 2>many times. Let's see here, man, we have a lot

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>of Melanireene says for us simple minded folks, what is

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the best phone for the book? A more all around simple,

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>yet reliable. Uh. If I was gonna say what the

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.079
<v Speaker 2>best phone is for you guys that don't really care

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>about all the craziness, I'm gonna go with the Moto

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.920
<v Speaker 2>G five plus. And the reason why I like this

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>device is because, first off, it's unlocked, so you can

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>buy it right from Amazon. And it's one hundred and

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, what they do they got rid of it?

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh no? Uh oh, I guess that means a new

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 2>one's coming out. Oh shoot, they must have I think

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 2>they got rid of that. Or they guess they're coming

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>out with some new phones. So oh, here we go.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Here it is Moto G five plus. I guess they

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>came up with the wrong one, but here it is

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty nine bucks and it's a lot cheaper. Oh,

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're Amazon Prime, it's two fifty nine sixty four gigabyte.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 2>You can get a thirty two gigabyte for a lot

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 2>cheaper two hundred and four bucks, So two hundred and

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 2>five dollars for the Moto G Plus, and it has

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>everything you need. Plus it's unlocked, so that means all

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>you have to do is bring it to your carrier.

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>It's right here, it says you can see it says

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.599
<v Speaker 2>AT and T, T Mobile, Sprint and Verizon fully compatible.

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>And I like this phone because there's not a lot

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>of junk installed on it. Now, the camera's not gonna

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>be the best in the world. It's not gonna be

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.199
<v Speaker 2>like an iPhone camera, but it's gonna be a nice

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>little device that just sort of works. And you can

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 2>get your calls, you can take calls, you can send

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>your text. It runs a nice version of Android. So

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be just fine with this and you're talking,

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>you're out the door. Two hundred and five dollars. That's

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good deal. And it's got a fingerprint sensor

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>as well, so that to me is a very high quality,

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of good all around device if you're looking for

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 2>something like that. So a good question, because I always

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I always get that question. I always recommend that phone. Now,

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>if you want to take a little step up, I

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 2>would recommend this the one plus five T, but this

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a little bit more expensive, and

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 2>the one plus five T is a really nice device,

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's five hundred bucks, so now you're getting kind

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 2>of like half the price of one of these main phones.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>But this is like, this is a serious device.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 2>This is really really nice, and you're gonna get a

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>very high quality device. There three one zero five nine

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 2>four three zero zero three three one zero five nine

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 2>four three zero zero three.

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Don't be shy.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 2>You can call in and have your your question answered

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>on air.

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 1>So give me a call. Eight oh five.

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 2>You're on with Rich Really Wow, Hello.

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Hi Rich, this is Michael. I'm from Seamy Valley.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Michael, what's going on?

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 3>You picked up really quick, so I was like thrown off.

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I was expecting to hear dead music or something.

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 2>No, it's just me.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a one man show, so it's just pick.

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>It up and you're on.

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Great. Well, I have a couple of ques sincetoria. First

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 3>of all, I just dumped direct TV, cut the chord,

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I guess, and got DirecTV. Now, okay, congrat which for

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 3>the most part, I'm happy with a couple of questions

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 3>about that, Sure, First of all, I'm kind of upset

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 3>that they don't make it very clear that it does

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 3>not output any kind of five point one sound. Oh yeah,

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 3>and that's kind of a drag, because there's some great

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 3>shows on that. You know, this surround is a great

0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 3>effect to that. Do you know of any live TV

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 3>services that do output five point one?

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not something you hear about very often.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I have not heard that. Let's see now, so I'm

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>looking at I'm looking at an article. It looks like

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>it is five point one on certain channels with DirecTV Now.

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So there's a great website called chord Cutter's News, and

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 2>they I think they're based actually in LA I always

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>follow them.

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But let's see.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 2>According to some readers who are beta testers for DirecTV Now,

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 2>five point one audio is being offered on some channels,

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 2>including MTV, but not all channels, so so, I mean,

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 2>unless you're watching a lot of MTV. But so, I

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 2>think it sounds like it's on a case by case basis.

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I think what's happening, Michael, with all these services is

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 2>there they're still very much in their infancy, you know,

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>they're just trying to get the basics down right, now,

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 2>which when I go on DirecTV Now, which I have,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I've had it since day one, by the way, and

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>it's still it's still not there all the time, Like

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>there are times that I'm watching, like the other night

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>when I was watching the what was on the oscars,

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I actually had to switch to my antenna because I

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 2>was getting a lot of kind of like the picture

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>was going in and out kind of thing. And so

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I find that that happens now. I switched my mom

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to it as well. She loves it. She cut the cord.

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>But I again, I think that these five point one

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>and this kind of stuff, the four K video is

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>really like maybe down the line because DirecTV Now doesn't

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>even have a DVR fund yet, so they're still trying

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>to work on that, and they've promised a lot of stuff.

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 3>I saw something today that it looks like they're working

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 3>on something as far as the DVR.

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've been working on it for a long time.

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>They promised it a long time ago, and it's just

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 2>it's been I don't know what the problem is if

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they're just having a lot of issues with it, but

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm trying to get on the beta testing list,

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>but they won't put me on because I'm a journalist

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and they don't want me kind of seeing it before

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>TV because I asked them they don't want Yeah, exactly.

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>But that's the big thing. So what uh, what I mean,

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 2>what have you noticed? What's the biggest difference between direct

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>TV now and kind.

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Of your your old cable. What did you have before

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you had direct TV?

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I had regular direct TV?

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, it's not that much difference.

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, and actually it looks great for the most part,

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 3>but I did not this last night. You know, some

0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 3>shimmering going on, you know, that digital kind of effect

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 3>that that isn't so pretty. It's especially noticeable on my

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 3>sixty inch LCD. I have a thirty two inch LCD

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 3>in the kitchen that uses Roku. And yeah, so I've

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 3>got Roku and Firestick and Apple TV in the house now,

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 3>so yeah.

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 2>You've got more s than I do.

0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.959
<v Speaker 3>But uh, what was I saying? Oh, on the sixty

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 3>inches it's really noticeable.

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, and that's that's a good point you bring

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:31.399
<v Speaker 2>up when people are like, why do we need? People

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 2>keep asking, you know, you hear about four K and

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 2>then you hear about eight K, and people keep asking

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>why do we need these clear you know, four K,

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 2>eight K kind of stuff. Like DVDs were just fine.

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 2>HD is great. But the difference is and this is

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 2>what you kind of noticed, is that when you get

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.919
<v Speaker 2>into those bigger screen sizes, that's when you start to

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 2>notice the quality of the picture going down.

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Because well, especially like if you.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Look at a DVD quality, you know, four to eighty

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>on a sixty inch TV, you it looks it looked terrible.

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's kind of what we're realizing is people keep

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>upgrading their TVs. Right now, the sweet spot is about

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 2>fifty five inches, but now people are pushing into that

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>sixty sixty five because prices are coming down, and you're

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 2>going to notice that. You will notice a slight difference

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 2>in HD on a sixty inch versus you know, a

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 2>forty inch that we all started.

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Out well, most definitely the imperfections become more noticeable the

0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 3>bigger they get. Yeah, most definitely. Yeah. I go to

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 3>seeees every year or so, Oh you do I seen

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 3>I've seen AK. I thought AKS five six years ago.

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Sharp was showing it and you know on an eighty

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.719
<v Speaker 3>inch screen and you can get you can put your

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 3>face right up to it and you can see the

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 3>details and the little tiny bricks and in the streets

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 3>and everything.

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty awesome.

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>It's really amazing. I think that the four K and

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the eight K is going to take a lot longer

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to kind of come down the line, just because broadcasters

0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>paid so much to upgrade to HD just recently. You

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>know how many how many years ago was that ten whatever?

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I know, So I think they're all kind of in

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a they're like just holding out as long as humanly

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 2>possible for the four K stuff. And you know, now

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 2>with these streaming services, you know they're really I mean

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the four K on there. I mean you're talking much

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 2>more bandwidth, many more issues with people saying like, hey,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm paying for four K, but I'm not getting it

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 2>because my internet's not fast enough. So all these services,

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean Netflix obviously and and Amazon have a lot

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 2>of four K content. I mean Netflix, all the new

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 2>shows are in four K. And it does look pretty

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 2>good if you have a.

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Four really good. So I do, and it looks really

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 3>really good. I have one other question for sir. I'm

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 3>in seeing you now. I'll go with my direct TV now,

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.359
<v Speaker 3>So how do I get short of mirroring. You know,

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I can stream it on my phone and mirror it

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 3>to my Apple TV, but I don't have Apple TV

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.239
<v Speaker 3>in the kitchen where I'm at at five o'clock in

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 3>the morning, so.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I know it's it's a problem.

0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 2>I had to get an antenna to see because I

0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 2>cord cut as well, so I have an antenna that

0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 2>does the channel five KTLA is the only channel just

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>for the folks watching and listening that's not on any

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of these streaming services right now. Now, do I think

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna change? Absolutely?

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Do I know when?

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.199
<v Speaker 2>No, But I think if I had to guess, I

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>think that we're gonna be there, like just literally it

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 2>will happen overnight. It'll just be like I mean, they're

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>working on it, I think because they know they understand

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 2>that we're not there. But these things take time for

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>our company, you know, we're you know, the other companies,

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them are like the Fox affiliates, the

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>NBC affiliates, the CBS affiliates. They do sort of a

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>package deal with like NBC to say, hey, we're gonna

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 2>have all of our affiliates. We're different because we're independent

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and we're not an NBC or CBS affiliate. So that's

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 2>why it's kind of taken a little bit longer, I think,

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 2>but we're gonna be there.

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 1>But antenda.

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.879
<v Speaker 2>The only other thing I can say, Michael, is the

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 2>other kind of hack you can do is you can

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>watch the live stream on Apple on a fire TV

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 2>through the web browser. So that's what a lot of

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 2>people have been doing a video on my face.

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Page about that.

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's not perfect, but it's there, you know.

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like I said, I Michigan, hopefully it'll come to

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 3>But funny thing is, you guys were the first ones

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 3>to broadcast in HD when you did the Rose Parade

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:15.640
<v Speaker 3>way back when.

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I know, the first and the first and HD. But

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>then you know, it's one of these things. Believe me,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm in I'm in the office every day asking so

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I am. I am always like when are we? When

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 2>are we going to be on? Because that's I get

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the most emails every single It used to be the

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 2>number one email I got was what cell phone do

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I get? And now it's when is KTLA going to

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 2>be on the streaming services? And I really don't have

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.360
<v Speaker 2>an answer. I ask every day and I don't think

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that anyone's going to know until it happens. So all right, Michael,

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 2>thanks so much for calling in. Enjoy that direct TV now,

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.360
<v Speaker 2>thank you, all right, have a good day. Uh, there

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you have it. Three one zero five nine four three

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:56.439
<v Speaker 2>zero zero three. So Jill says on that line, which

0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.080
<v Speaker 2>antenna to get? And I'm actually going to do a

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 2>segment on these. But the one that I like the best,

0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like I've mentioned this before is the

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Moho Leaf Glide. So the Mohu Leaf is pretty simple.

0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 2>That's a really cheap one. I think it starts at

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 2>like forty bucks. But the Glide is going to give

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you a better, better signal for sure, but it's gonna

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit more expensive. You're talking ninety dollars. Now,

0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 2>that's expensive. But let me just see how much it

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>is on Amazon. I'm curious. Maybe it's the same price,

0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's a little cheaper. The Glide is eighty seven

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven bucks, and let me just see how much

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:38.439
<v Speaker 2>the leaf is. The Mohu Leaf is eighteen bucks. If

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to get the premium on just just look

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>at Mohumhu and see what antennas they have. They all

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 2>their antennas are really phenomenal. They just really are. They

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 2>do a really nice job, and they kind of are

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 2>inside your house as well.

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's see who else do we have here.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Duke looks like he's back to the question of the

0:23:00.520 --> 0:23:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Samsung S eight versus the Note eight. I think that

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 2>they're basically the same when it comes to the camera.

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 2>The Say Plus supposedly it's a little bit better due

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 2>to the memory and the software, but the Note eight

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of has the same camera setup. So if you

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.520
<v Speaker 2>want the big phone with the stylist, go at the essay.

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that's gonna work. Colin says, Oh, Michael says,

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to mention we can't get any signal in

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Seemi Valley.

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, then that's a problem.

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna yeah, that's this. Someone's got to come up

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 2>with a solution for this whole KTLA thing not being on.

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Colin says, I worked on test shoots with four K

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:38.920
<v Speaker 2>cameras about twelve years ago.

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>It will probably be another six to twelve.

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Years before everything is broadcasted in four K. Wow, so

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 2>that's a yeah, six to twelve years, So I would agree.

0:23:47.960 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I bet you it's probably gonna be at least five

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 2>years before four K takes off on the broadcast level

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 2>three one zero five.

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Nine four three zero zero three. So I'm going green.

0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.239
<v Speaker 2>By the way, with my iPad here, I'm trying to

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 2>I usually print out all the stories I want to

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>talk about, but this time I put them all on

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 2>my iPad so I can not have to waste all

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>this paper. So let's see which one that I want

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk about next. Let's talk about Netflix. So Netflix,

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>this is an interesting little study. I guess. They revealed

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 2>some data to journalists and at recode they talked about

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>people watching Netflix. So and this is not really it's

0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 2>not stuff that you wouldn't think basically, it's kind of

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 2>a no brainer. But basically what they're saying is most

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>people sign up for Netflix from their computer, Okay forty

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>percent of sign ups, and then the phone is thirty percent.

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 2>But guess where they end up watching Netflix the most?

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Their TV?

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Seventy percent of streams end up on connected TVs instead

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of phones, tablets, or PCs.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And why is this interesting? Well, it's interesting.

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Because the whole point of Netflix and all these kind

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 2>of services that work everywhere on all your devices is

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>that at the end of the day, people are still

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 2>sitting down on their couch in their living room and

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 2>they're watching Netflix on the best screen in the house.

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 2>So seventy percent of Netflix is consumed on TV screens.

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>And you might find that kind of interesting.

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>With all the people out there with smartphones and tablets

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 2>and travelers and this and that and all to talk

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>about having TV everywhere, at the end of the day,

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>people still just want their TV on their TV, even

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 2>with Netflix, where you can watch on literally anything. Now,

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>do I think it's awesome that you can use Netflix everywhere? Yes,

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's part of the reason why I cut the cord.

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't about the money I was paying to Direct

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 2>TV and before that at and T, but it was

0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>really about the flexibility of my signal. I can watch

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 2>direct TV now from anywhere I want, and that is

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 2>what I think is really cool about it. And I

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>think that's cool about all the services like Sling TV

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.479
<v Speaker 2>and YouTube TV, is that you get TV on your terms.

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's really kind of what's going on here, and

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of funny. The ironic part is that most

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:06.320
<v Speaker 2>people are just watching Netflix on their regular TV. Let

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 2>me talk about this. This is another thing related to Netflix,

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>they have more parntal controls now, so they basically made

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 2>it so that you can control what your kids are

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:21.159
<v Speaker 2>watching on the TV. Now here's the deal. Netflix is

0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 2>not very good when it comes to all these printal controls.

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they're just stumbling their way through, like

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 2>all their growth, but they are realizing that parents want

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more control. I did a blog post

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>about how I wanted to turn off auto play for

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:34.919
<v Speaker 2>the next episode for my kids. I turned it off

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 2>from my account because it gives me so much stress

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.439
<v Speaker 2>when I don't binge watch. So I'm sitting there watching

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 2>a show and next thing you know, it's like counting

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 2>down ten seconds, and I feel like the time for

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>between shows has gotten so short. It's like it used

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to be like thirty seconds. Now it's like eight seconds

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>before the next one just starts playing. I don't want that.

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess I'm in the minority here because a lot

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:57.479
<v Speaker 2>of you commented on my Facebook page that you know

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you like that, so you can binge watch stuff I

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 2>don't personally, so I figured out how to turn it

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>off for myself. Then when I went to look for

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 2>my kids, I was like, this is not very easy.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>So it took me a little slew thing, but I

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.440
<v Speaker 2>figured it out. And the deal is, I wrote the whole.

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I wrote the whole like blog post. But the bottom

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:17.919
<v Speaker 2>line is you basically have to go into your profiles,

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 2>edit them, turn off your kids profile so it basically

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 2>becomes an adult profile for a little bit, go into

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>their account, turn off auto play, and then turn it

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 2>back into a kid's profile.

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, who lots of work to do that.

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Netflix, Come on, we got to have like a master

0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 2>thing where I can change all the profiles. One other

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 2>thing they added that's kind of cool too with the

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.520
<v Speaker 2>pin is that you can now block specific titles. So

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.360
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, I would not let my kid

0:27:41.359 --> 0:27:43.679
<v Speaker 2>watch SpongeBob. That's all he wanted to watch, even as

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 2>like a two year old, and I was like, no,

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 2>you're not watching this. I don't even know anything about

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 2>this show. So I want to make sure that this

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>show is okay. Well, now, but every time you'd see

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>it on Netflix, you click it. Well, now you can

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 2>go in and take certain titles out, so it will

0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:59.200
<v Speaker 2>literally not let your kid play those titles. And one

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 2>more thing, and this I think is actually brilliant on

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Netflix's part. They are now showing you the rating of

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a program when you press the play button. So that

0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 2>means that, like every time my kids were watching like

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 2>a new show on Netflix, I'm like, what is this show?

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 1>How'd you find it?

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>What's the rating on it? And I have to go

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 2>back like eight screens to find the rating. Now, when

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>you press the play button, it will show you the

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 2>rating right off the bat. And now it doesn't say

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>exactly if like you pause the show and you press

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 2>play again, if it shows the rating again. I hope

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>that's how they did it, because that would make it

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:31.959
<v Speaker 2>much easier for parents and say, hey, let me see something. Pause,

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 2>see the rating, press play and the rating comes up,

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and then you can let their kids be on their

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>merry way. So yeah, there you go. Three one zero

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 2>five nine four three zero zero three. Don't be shy

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>three one zero five to nine four three zero zero three.

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 2>If you have a question for me, go ahead and

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:54.480
<v Speaker 2>let me know what your question is. And Nicole says,

0:28:54.520 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that has been there for at least the past two years.

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I've had a pin up my kids stuff for the

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 2>last two years. Yes, that is true, has been there,

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>but now they give you much more finer control with

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>that pin, so you can actually, you know, like I said,

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 2>do the blocking of specific shows, and you can also

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>block certain maturity levels which you couldn't do before. So yes,

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the pin has been there, but they did do some

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>more work with that as well. Let's see here, Mel says,

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:23.800
<v Speaker 2>do you know if there's gonna be anything with our

0:29:23.840 --> 0:29:26.240
<v Speaker 2>technology that promotes youth to go to their local libraries

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and pick up a book?

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's a that's a good question.

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean do they have to? I don't know. I mean,

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm all into technology and I still love my books,

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 2>So I think that really comes down to personal preference. Now,

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 2>with kids and the Internet and Wikipedia and all that

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>good stuff, do they need to go to the library

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to do as much research?

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but that's a good question.

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's I think that we've been in this

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 2>technology stuff for so short right now that we don't

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 2>know what the effect is, and I think that's all

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of evolving.

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Six sund with Rich.

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Rich, this is Laura calling from Pasadena.

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey Laura, how are you doing good?

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 4>How are you?

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great? What's on your mind?

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Watch you every day?

0:30:10.880 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Because I went to take advantage of the new battery

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 4>for the iPhone the offer, and my existing battery was

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 4>at eighty percent and they said it was time to

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 4>replace it.

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 5>Is that true?

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's well, what phone do you have?

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 5>Six s?

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you have the success I would probably replace it.

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, eighty percent is actually pretty good for a

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>phone that's you know, you're talking what three to two

0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and a half two years old? Two and a half

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>years old?

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Yees?

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Two years old?

0:30:44.280 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So two years old. I mean I don't think you.

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a Have you noticed that your

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 2>phone's slowing down a lot?

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 4>It did slow It was slowing down.

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Okay, here's the thing. You could do two things.

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 2>So there's gonna be an update for for iOS coming

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>out in the next type probably say six months, if

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>not earlier, iOS eleven point three. That's going to give

0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 2>you the ability to turn off the slowdown on your iPhone,

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>so even though your battery has been degrading. And this

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>whole thing for people that are listening is that Apple said, look,

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 2>we know that batteries go bad over the years, So

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 2>what we want to do is we kind of throttle

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>your phone back a little bit. So that the battery

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't shut off the phone unexpectedly, or you don't get

0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>an unexpected restart, or apps don't crash, So we slow

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>your phone down just a little bit because we want

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to make sure the battery can handle that speed. So

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 2>what they're saying is in the next version of iOS,

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 2>they're going to give that option to the user to say,

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'll deal with the occasional crash, the

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 2>occasional app not working, but I'd rather have my full

0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>speed phone even if my battery is kind of degraded.

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 2>So you can wait for that and kind of go

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 2>through that. But it's I mean, how.

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Much do they ask you for the battery to be replaced?

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Thirty bucks?

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thirty bucks.

0:31:57.520 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So if you just want to do it, because

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.640
<v Speaker 2>this is a time where you know, they don't usually

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 2>offer that. Usually it's eighty dollars to do this, and

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you have the thirty dollars and it makes you feel better,

0:32:08.320 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 2>then maybe do it and you you will see an

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 2>improvement in your phone.

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:13.480
<v Speaker 1>But again, you could wait for that software too.

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 4>Okay, thanks a lot. I appreciate it, all.

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, Laura, that's good word.

0:32:17.880 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thank you so much.

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:19.560

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>What's happening with that?

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 6>Trading in?

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:20.520

<v Speaker 1>So trading it in? So what can I help you with?

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 6>So are there anything that you can tell me that

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 6>is going to be more than the S eight plus?

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 6>And then what cases do you recommend?

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So the S eight plus versus the S nine plus.

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna you're not going to see a huge difference.

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna you're gonna be like, Okay, this is great. Obviously,

0:33:51.880 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the software is going to be newer. You have a new,

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, new version of Android on there. The you know,

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>everything got kind of a little tiny makeover with the

0:33:59.800 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 2>soft for you know this little refinements here and there.

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>The camera has been improved with the software and some

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>of the extra processing they do on it. So this

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:11.359
<v Speaker 2>camera's going to take more pictures, especially in low light,

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna make them look better. So your low

0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 2>light pictures, you're definitely gonna notice a difference. You're also

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:20.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna notice they added this gets a little bit crazy,

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 2>but in low light it lets a lot more it

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 2>lets a lot more light in, and so that's something

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they've added as well. And then they've also added new

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 2>dual speakers, so you're gonna have stereo sound for the

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 2>first time through your phone. So it's gonna just sound better, louder, clear,

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.120
<v Speaker 2>But the screen's gonna look great.

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:40.839
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna kind of be similar to what you have.

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 1>The other thing.

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I think you're gonna notice that you're really gonna like

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:48.320
<v Speaker 2>is the the fingerprint reader is in a much easier

0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to access place. And I'm sure if you've been using

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the say Plus over the past year, you've kind of

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:56.080
<v Speaker 2>gotten used to where the fingerprint reader is. But I

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:58.759
<v Speaker 2>think you're gonna realize that this is in a much

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 2>better place and it's going to be so much easier

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 2>to sort of unlock. So I think you're really gonna

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:07.239
<v Speaker 2>like it. And I think that it's a it's I mean,

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 2>it's one of the best Android phones out there. There's

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 2>not really a better Android phone. The pixel might take

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:16.799
<v Speaker 2>better pictures in certain circumstances, but I think overall, this

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 2>is probably this is the device I'll be recommending most

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 2>to people that want the best Android device out there.

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 2>So you did a good job. The other thing is

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.839
<v Speaker 2>you asked about a case, So.

0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:31.719
<v Speaker 1>It's tough. I think a case is a very personal thing.

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Do do you want something that offers a lot of

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 2>protection on the phone or something that looks good or something.

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 6>That's thin, protection and fashion?

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, protection and fashion. So I'll tell you the number

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>one selling case in the world is this one. It's

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 2>a let's see, it's like the gosh, it's the cell

0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>iris like sparkle case, which I think you've probably seen

0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people have. I'm trying to find it,

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:04.120
<v Speaker 2>but it's just the funny. It's like literally the it's

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the case that has like the liquid in the back

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:11.120
<v Speaker 2>with the little sparkles and I'm trying to find a picture. Okay,

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 2>but that's like I went into the Verizon store when

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 2>I was doing a segment with them, and I said, Hey,

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>what's the top selling you know case overall, And that's

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 2>the one. They said, let's see. I'm just there we go. Casemate.

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 2>That's it, Casemate sparkle case. Oh there it is, Okay,

0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:27.840
<v Speaker 2>let me show you guys on the live stream. So

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:32.520
<v Speaker 2>this is it. This is the top selling case in America. Basically,

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:34.840
<v Speaker 2>this is it. So it's got like the liquid in

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the back and the little sparkles that move around. It's

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 2>called the Casemate. I don't know if they say with

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the like specific name, but there's a rhinestone version and

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.359
<v Speaker 2>then there's a sparkle version. But those are the ones

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 2>that people love. Yeah, it's a glitter in the back,

0:36:48.280 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 2>someone's saying on the live chat. Now, my personal favorite

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>case overall is this case, which is the spec Presidio

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:03.319
<v Speaker 2>grip and this case I think is just fantastic. So

0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's been they've been making it forever. Speck

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of made their brand name on this case, and

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's the most standard case they make. It's

0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 2>got these great grips. You will never drop your phone

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 2>with this case on it. But it's it's bulky. It's

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:19.480
<v Speaker 2>gotten less bulky because they made it about twenty percent

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.759
<v Speaker 2>thinner this time around. But it's a big case. But

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the case. If I was getting a

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 2>case for the SS nine plus, that's the case I

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:31.520
<v Speaker 2>would get because I really like it. And it comes

0:37:31.520 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 2>to a bunch of different colors you can get. You

0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:34.560
<v Speaker 2>don't have to get black like I would get. You

0:37:34.600 --> 0:37:38.120
<v Speaker 2>can get some other more fun colors as well. But

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 2>those are my two. The other cases I would look

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:42.600
<v Speaker 2>at are Tech twenty one. I really like that brand.

0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:47.839
<v Speaker 2>I think they make some really fantastic cases and that's

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:49.479
<v Speaker 2>kind of my picks that I have now.

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Tech twenty one.

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean if you like that, I mean, what

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 2>do you think of that one?

0:37:56.200 --> 0:38:00.719
<v Speaker 6>I've had it for a little almost well quite a year,

0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 6>and I haven't changed cases. My other one I had,

0:38:05.400 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 6>I had like, oh.

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you're you're as bad as me.

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm like changing cases every day now if if you

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 2>really want to get crazy now and don't. I don't

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 2>recommend this for most people, but this is my One

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:22.799
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite cases is called Peel, and this is.

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Basically super duper thin.

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 2>It's like almost like putting a like plastic wrap on

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:30.879
<v Speaker 2>your phone, that's how thin it is. It's just a

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 2>tiny sleeve you put on there and it only prevents

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:35.319
<v Speaker 2>scratches on your phone, like when you put it on

0:38:35.360 --> 0:38:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the table or something like that. Yeah, that's uh, that's

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a really thin case. I always buy one of those

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:42.160
<v Speaker 2>from my phones because they look they do not protect

0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:44.399
<v Speaker 2>your phone at all. But I'm just telling you about

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 2>different cases. Peel is one of my favorites as well,

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people are chiming in on on

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the the chat saying about all the cases they like,

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and Peter says, or there's some super cheap but good

0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 2>cases out there. Yes, the one that I always order

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 2>that's super cheap is Speagan uh S P I G

0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 2>E N. And those you can get on Amazon for

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 2>like less than ten bucks, and they're they're pretty cheap,

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 2>but they're good. They're good quality, so I like those

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:14.239
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.400

<v Speaker 2>best option for internet? Now you're in Lancaster, you probably

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:51.440
<v Speaker 2>don't have that many options. That's the problem, and that's

0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the problem for pretty much everyone in America.

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Is that we usually have one to two choices.

0:40:57.000 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 2>For internet in our homes and our apartments as are

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes even worse, sometimes you only have one choice.

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's the problem. Who do you have right now?

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Spectrum? Okay?

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And what don't you like about Spectrum?

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Are you trying to get rid of cable or cable

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 2>internet or both? Pretty much?

0:41:16.040 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Pretty much everything?

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they are getting expensive. Here's the thing. Okay, So

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the website, I recommend you got to look up this

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 2>website to see what's available in your area.

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So that's the first thing you have to do.

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 2>And the website is called all connect dot com A

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 2>L L C O N N E C T Allconnect

0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 2>dot com You pop in your address and it will

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 2>tell you all the providers that are in your area,

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:45.839
<v Speaker 2>or most of them. It's not always perfect, but most

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.839
<v Speaker 2>of the time it gets it right. So that's the

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 2>main thing you have to do. And then you're going

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 2>to find that you probably only have a choice of

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.880
<v Speaker 2>either the internet, the cable company, or the T or

0:41:56.920 --> 0:41:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the phone company.

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, if the.

0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Phone company is good, if it's decent, if it's AT

0:42:03.280 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 2>and T or something or FiOS, that's probably better. But

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:10.479
<v Speaker 2>with Spectrum, you're probably that's probably gonna be your best bet.

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>You just have to figure out when you cancel cable

0:42:12.800 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 2>with them, they're gonna be they're gonna.

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Want to charge you more for your Internet. That's really

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:18.600
<v Speaker 1>how it works.

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's.

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 1>How much are they asking for?

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:27.760
<v Speaker 4>They won eighty dollars for just the internet service?

0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a lot.

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:30.719
<v Speaker 2>That's that's eighty bucks a month is a lot for

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:33.919
<v Speaker 2>just internet. Now, I will say their average, if you're

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.719
<v Speaker 2>not on a promotion, is about sixty a month. So

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:39.520
<v Speaker 2>I would say, here's what you need to do with

0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:42.880
<v Speaker 2>with Spectrum. Have you called and asked for the Have

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 2>you called and said I want to cancel I get.

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:49.399
<v Speaker 4>I did, Yes, I did.

0:42:49.520 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 5>But that's what they said.

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 4>If you want to cancel, cancel because the thing is

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:57.040
<v Speaker 4>that we used to be the other cable company. What

0:42:58.680 --> 0:42:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Time Warner.

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's done.

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:06.680
<v Speaker 4>How they have me underd Time Warner Expectrum and my

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:09.280
<v Speaker 4>rate right now with them just for TV and cables

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and fifty dollars.

0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's stop, right, that's all great, that's a lot. Yeah. Boy.

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 4>I called them and I say, hey, I need to

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:20.359
<v Speaker 4>cancel this. It's not working for me. You know, it's

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 4>too much money. So they said, if I want to

0:43:22.960 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 4>cancel a kind cable, they will charge me eighty dollars

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:26.279
<v Speaker 4>for you.

0:43:26.400 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, Internet, Yes, and that is true. They will

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 2>do that. But here's the deal. Did you ever get

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 2>transferred to a different department. No, okay, so that's what

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you need to do. So I just did this. I

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>just went through this with my mom and she was

0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:42.800
<v Speaker 2>doing the same thing. I called up the first time

0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and they said, yeah, just you're gonna pay eighty bucks

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a month whatever it was ninety dollars a month, and

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I said, okay, well then we'd like to cancel. And

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:52.680
<v Speaker 2>that's when they transfer you to the person that can

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:56.319
<v Speaker 2>actually cut you a deal. So that's my recommendation is

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to call in again and you can either ask directly

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:01.560
<v Speaker 2>for the re tension department or you can say, Hi,

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to cancel my service. Can you please transfer

0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 2>me to the operator. The normal operators that are answering

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 2>are not the people that cancel your service. They want

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.759
<v Speaker 2>to give you one last deal before you go, So

0:44:10.800 --> 0:44:12.800
<v Speaker 2>that's what you need to do. And yeah, ask for

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:14.879
<v Speaker 2>the retention department, and I think you're going to get

0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:15.439
<v Speaker 2>a better deal.

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Aim for that sixty.

0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Dollars a month factor if you get If you can

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:22.239
<v Speaker 2>get fifty, that'd be amazing. But really you're probably gonna

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>end up paying about sixty bucks a month for internet.

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 2>That's that's kind of the going rate these cable companies.

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 2>And thanks so much for the call. These cable companies

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 2>are realizing that people are cutting the cord. So what

0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:34.600
<v Speaker 2>do you think They're not going to sort of say, oh,

0:44:34.640 --> 0:44:36.759
<v Speaker 2>no problem, we're gonna let you cut the cord and

0:44:37.160 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, no big deal. No, they really want to

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 2>make sure that they're getting their money's worth out of you.

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 2>So if you cut the cord for cable, they're just

0:44:44.160 --> 0:44:45.880
<v Speaker 2>going to charge you a little bit more for the

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 2>internet three one zero five nine four three zero zero three.

0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:52.239
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I'm in that same boat right now.

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:54.439
<v Speaker 2>I've got I was paying about forty five a month

0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:58.080
<v Speaker 2>for my spectrum and now it's gone up to sixty.

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:01.280
<v Speaker 2>And the first person I call was like, yeah, that's

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.799
<v Speaker 2>just the deal. You can't get another deal. So I'm

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep calling back until I do. Well, we'll get

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:10.919
<v Speaker 2>it in there one of these days, let's see, uh

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:13.880
<v Speaker 2>before I take well, I'll take one more call before

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the show ends because we've been on for man how

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 2>long we've been on? Oh fifty minutes? Okay, but let

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:21.279
<v Speaker 2>me just talk about Zagit really quick. It was a

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:23.400
<v Speaker 2>gat whatever you want to call it. But you know,

0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 2>this was a brand that when I came to LA

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:29.440
<v Speaker 2>for the first time, zagit was like it you when

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you went to a restaurant you checked the zagut rating, right,

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you just knew it had those three ratings.

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 1>It was like out of thirty.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 2>It was like, you know, service decor I forget what

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the three things work. But it was like, you know

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:42.080
<v Speaker 2>those three little terms.

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:43.240
<v Speaker 1>One was service, one.

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Was food, and I forget what the other one was

0:45:44.520 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Ambiance maybe, but that company, you know, as we got

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Yelp in the Internet, they kind of got you know,

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 2>passed over. And then Google bought them back in twenty

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 2>eleven and one hundred and fifty one million dollars, and

0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:01.120
<v Speaker 2>they thought, oh, this is gonna be great. They're gonna

0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 2>bring zagit into the digital age. Of course you have

0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Google Maps, you can mix it in. They did all

0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. Nothing happened. Is no one talks about zagut

0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 2>ratings anymore, sadly, because I still think they're really fun.

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Like I always loved them. I love the way they

0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 2>wrote them. I always loved everything about them. Well, now

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Google is selling it, is selling it. I don't know

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 2>how much they sold it for.

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't really say.

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:25.440
<v Speaker 2>But they passed it on to a new owner, an

0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:29.680
<v Speaker 2>upstart restaurant review company called The Infatuation. And they said

0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 2>they were very excited about this because zagit was started

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen seventy nine as a kind of a way

0:46:35.920 --> 0:46:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to help friends find the best restaurants, and similarly, the

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Infatuation was built in two thousand and nine to help

0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:44.440
<v Speaker 2>people find the best restaurants.

0:46:44.520 --> 0:46:47.480
<v Speaker 1>So now they're going to own them. It's called the Infatuation.

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what their website looks like, because I've never

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:55.839
<v Speaker 2>heard of that, the infatuation. So here's the thing that's

0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:59.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of annoying though, is that the infatuation is gonna

0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:02.960
<v Speaker 2>run zagit separately. So that's kind of weird. It's like,

0:47:02.960 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 2>why can't you just run it, like, let's mix this up,

0:47:05.120 --> 0:47:07.719
<v Speaker 2>let's get it. Okay, So here's the article on it

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:11.239
<v Speaker 2>that they're getting zagat So maybe it's a gap, I

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but anyway, let's just find Let's see if

0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I put in Los Angeles, let's see what this says

0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:20.280
<v Speaker 2>for the restaurants. Okay, so it's got the greatest hits list.

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh you guys, sorry, I forgot to switch this thing.

0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:27.920
<v Speaker 2>The best new restaurants in Los Angeles, the best sushi

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 2>and rest the best sushi. Let's see the best sushi

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:38.200
<v Speaker 2>is thirty one. Best sushi places, let's see everyday sushi kiro. Interesting.

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm definitely not a sushi aficionado, so I don't really know.

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I know, like one sushi place and that's it.

0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>But this is interesting. Okay, So they do kind of like.

0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:49.160
<v Speaker 2>A rating as well, eight point four. But we'll see.

0:47:49.320 --> 0:47:51.120
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. I'm I have a lot of

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 2>nostalgia for Zagit because I always had the book and

0:47:53.680 --> 0:47:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I would always look up restaurants and that was the

0:47:56.160 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 2>way to go to restaurants in Los Angeles for so

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 2>many years. And it just you know, now it's it's

0:48:03.160 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 2>totally kind of gone down. Back to our last conversation,

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Irwin says, I called Spectrum last week and I asked

0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:11.440
<v Speaker 2>for the retention department and they cut my bill down

0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:13.440
<v Speaker 2>to twenty dollars less a month. Look at that.

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Whoo Because we talked about it.

0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.440
<v Speaker 2>On the last podcast, which was two weeks ago, and

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I talked about the retention department and yeah, that's what

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:24.720
<v Speaker 2>everyone's That's what everyone did. So that's awesome.

0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here, what else do we have we've got?

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Grace says, I was able to lower my Spectrum

0:48:33.040 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Internet down to fifty two a month, all right, so

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:40.560
<v Speaker 2>there's hope. So it looks like fifty two is good, okay,

0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 2>And Anastasia, I'm jumping around a lot today. Anastasia says,

0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I never checked that rating. Always look at yelp. Now

0:48:47.680 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I know we all look at YELP. Let me give

0:48:50.560 --> 0:48:52.520
<v Speaker 2>you my little way, I search Yelp because I do

0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:54.839
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit differently than everyone else. So when

0:48:54.880 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm in an area, I go to Yelp and I search,

0:48:58.080 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, restaurants, and then I do so sort by

0:49:01.800 --> 0:49:02.960
<v Speaker 2>most reviewed.

0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:04.600
<v Speaker 1>So the most.

0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Reviewed restaurant basically gives you, kind of, wherever you are,

0:49:08.160 --> 0:49:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant that the most people are going to. It's

0:49:10.480 --> 0:49:12.640
<v Speaker 2>not always the best or the finest, or the most

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:15.640
<v Speaker 2>expensive or the best food, but it kind of usually

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:18.080
<v Speaker 2>is known for something. So if you're it's just kind

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:20.160
<v Speaker 2>of a fun thing I do because I'm in that area,

0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to know the restaurant that everyone's sort of

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:24.000
<v Speaker 2>going to. But I will tell you one time this

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of backfired on me. I was doing a sometimes

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I fill in for Leo Laporte, the tech guy, on

0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:33.040
<v Speaker 2>his show, his syndicated radio show, which I'll be doing,

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:36.399
<v Speaker 2>by the way in April. But I was up there

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:40.359
<v Speaker 2>in Sonoma County. I think it's Sonoma. Petaluma is where

0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.520
<v Speaker 2>they do it. I think it's Sonoma County. And of

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:44.480
<v Speaker 2>course I looked at Yelp to I was there for

0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, the two nights I do the show, and

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to find a good restaurant, and so I

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:50.319
<v Speaker 2>looked in the first restaurant that came up with some

0:49:50.440 --> 0:49:52.759
<v Speaker 2>random place. It's called Garlic Joe's or something like that,

0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:54.880
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was. I'm like, I'm not going there. And

0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:57.799
<v Speaker 2>I realized after I left, because it had like three

0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:00.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand ratings everything else had like, you know, a hundre

0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>or two hundred. I realized that the restaurant is the

0:50:03.040 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Guy Fierre restaurant. And so I was like, Oh, it

0:50:06.120 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't hit me till like six months later that it's

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I've let's see what's what's his restaurant called Guy Fiery

0:50:13.520 --> 0:50:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And uh, let's see Garlic Garlic.

0:50:16.480 --> 0:50:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Uh, I don't.

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe he did, Maybe he doesn't have

0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Garlics. Oh he ditched it. Never mind, I guess

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:29.279
<v Speaker 2>he Uh, I guess he's out. Okay, he's out at

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Garlics and text with Sabby, So I guess he's

0:50:32.480 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 2>not an owner anymore. But anyway, I had a lot

0:50:34.160 --> 0:50:35.880
<v Speaker 2>of reviews and I didn't end up going to it.

0:50:35.960 --> 0:50:39.320
<v Speaker 2>But uh, that's I guess that's why. Anyway. So that's

0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:41.479
<v Speaker 2>my point is that's the way I like to search yelp.

0:50:41.520 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 2>It's just kind of fun. I mean, everyone has a

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:47.359
<v Speaker 2>different way of searching yelp. But yeah, all right, let's

0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:50.360
<v Speaker 2>get some comments before. Lorraine says, when are you filling

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:53.280
<v Speaker 2>in for Leo? I think it's public knowledge because someone

0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 2>texted me, tweeted me about it, and I guess he

0:50:55.160 --> 0:50:56.479
<v Speaker 2>must have mentioned it on his show.

0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:58.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's gonna be the uh, it's gonna be the

0:50:59.040 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>end of April.

0:50:59.760 --> 0:51:01.879
<v Speaker 2>I'll be up there so I'll have more details when

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:03.719
<v Speaker 2>when I can share them. I guess when I know

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I can share them. I hope I didn't, and let's see.

0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Michael Moffett says, I look for the most reviewed, realizing

0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that people will go out of their way to complain

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:12.839
<v Speaker 2>if they've had a bad experience, then those who will

0:51:12.920 --> 0:51:14.720
<v Speaker 2>rave That is very true.

0:51:15.000 --> 0:51:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:51:15.520 --> 0:51:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Darryl says, great show, Thank you, Daryl.

0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh Dushawn says, Rich You're awesome, love your tips. Thank you,

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:26.879
<v Speaker 2>and uh Leo Laporte, Yeah, you guys.

0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I did this once before.

0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel actually I filled in for him twice, once

0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:33.120
<v Speaker 2>on the local level here just for KFI, and then

0:51:33.239 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 2>once up at the national level for a syndicated show.

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:36.960
<v Speaker 2>And then they asked me back.

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:38.960
<v Speaker 1>So I was that was nice?

0:51:39.040 --> 0:51:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:51:40.360 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's take one more call here six six one,

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:43.279
<v Speaker 2>you're on with Rich.

0:51:44.719 --> 0:51:46.320

<v Speaker 5>Not much? How are you doing?

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I was wondering if I was going to go a

0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:53.400
<v Speaker 2>whole show without one of my regulars calling in.

0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:56.799
<v Speaker 5>I guess I'm the last call.

0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:58.760
<v Speaker 1>You are the last call? What's up today?

0:52:00.640 --> 0:52:04.120
<v Speaker 5>Kind of problem with my iPhone ever since the last update.

0:52:05.000 --> 0:52:07.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, when you go into settings and then general,

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 5>there's been this one. You know how it as if

0:52:12.080 --> 0:52:14.360
<v Speaker 5>there's an update. It's that there's a one in a

0:52:14.400 --> 0:52:19.880
<v Speaker 5>red circle. Yes, yes, and I go to software update,

0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:23.120
<v Speaker 5>but then it says, you know your software is up

0:52:23.120 --> 0:52:26.799
<v Speaker 5>to date, but that one, you know, the the one

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 5>is still there.

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, okay, I've.

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Shut it down, I've did a soft reset, but it's

0:52:34.000 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 5>still there.

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:38.040
<v Speaker 1>It's something to do with the This is funny.

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:40.880
<v Speaker 2>This actually happened to my my father in law. He

0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:44.719
<v Speaker 2>was going crazy over it. And basically you have to

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:46.839
<v Speaker 2>go there's like, you know how they have like those

0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:50.040
<v Speaker 2>little settings on iPhone where it's like finished setting up

0:52:50.040 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 2>your phone and all this stuff. Yeah, one of those

0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:56.920
<v Speaker 2>is hanging somehow. So I would go back in and

0:52:57.320 --> 0:52:59.640
<v Speaker 2>just kind of go through all those menus where basically

0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you click your Apple I D you can go into

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.440
<v Speaker 2>your General and kind of look at software update. Let

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:08.759
<v Speaker 2>it go through there, and I think the main one

0:53:08.800 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to go to is your your Apple I

0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:13.439
<v Speaker 2>D one at the top and kind of see because

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:16.440
<v Speaker 2>it's trying there's something that like usually when you change

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:19.920
<v Speaker 2>your like your Apple pay or something like that, they

0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:21.160
<v Speaker 2>want you to like finish something.

0:53:21.480 --> 0:53:22.600
<v Speaker 1>So there's something that's.

0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Hung in there that where where's the I get that

0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:30.279
<v Speaker 2>It's on your General settings, right, Yeah, And so when

0:53:30.320 --> 0:53:33.319
<v Speaker 2>you go in there, there's nothing, nothing's highlighted in there

0:53:33.360 --> 0:53:35.120
<v Speaker 2>at all. No.

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:37.479
<v Speaker 5>Well, you know how when you go into general, there's

0:53:37.520 --> 0:53:41.080
<v Speaker 5>about and then software update right right, That's that's where

0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.279
<v Speaker 5>the one is. And then when I go into there,

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:46.279
<v Speaker 5>it just says my software is up to date. But

0:53:46.320 --> 0:53:48.520
<v Speaker 5>then when I go back the one is still there.

0:53:49.640 --> 0:53:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, Yeah, it's definitely hung. That's uh, it's kind of

0:53:52.880 --> 0:53:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a it's like a little ghost setting right there.

0:53:56.120 --> 0:53:58.279
<v Speaker 1>That's a hmm.

0:53:58.280 --> 0:54:00.799
<v Speaker 2>What if you now you've did a off reset on

0:54:00.840 --> 0:54:02.840
<v Speaker 2>your phone, Well, do.

0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:05.759
<v Speaker 5>You know how you like push the power button, then

0:54:05.800 --> 0:54:08.759
<v Speaker 5>hold down the the home button. That's all I did.

0:54:10.000 --> 0:54:12.799
<v Speaker 5>That was gonna ask if I did a reset, would

0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:14.880
<v Speaker 5>that erase all my settings?

0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Or there's there's one reset that you can try that

0:54:18.360 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 2>will not mess up a lot of things, and that's

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:24.680
<v Speaker 2>your your your Let's see here, let me go into

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:26.759
<v Speaker 2>the reset. There's a couple Okay, so when you go

0:54:26.760 --> 0:54:28.719
<v Speaker 2>into your iPhone, there's a couple of reset options. There's

0:54:28.760 --> 0:54:32.680
<v Speaker 2>reset all settings, erase all content in settings, and then

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:36.960
<v Speaker 2>reset network settings. So the two the one that you

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:39.680
<v Speaker 2>can try first is reset network Settings. But keep in

0:54:39.680 --> 0:54:42.640
<v Speaker 2>mind that's going to delete all your Wi Fi passwords

0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:46.239
<v Speaker 2>and all your Bluetooth connections. So you can try that

0:54:46.360 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 2>if you want. I mean, I've done that before. It's

0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:49.480
<v Speaker 2>just kind of a way to reset your phone for

0:54:49.520 --> 0:54:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the network. Reset all settings, which I don't want to

0:54:54.040 --> 0:54:58.120
<v Speaker 2>proceed too far because I don't really know how much

0:54:58.160 --> 0:55:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna do. But the one that you really want

0:55:00.440 --> 0:55:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to stay away from as the erase all content and settings,

0:55:02.920 --> 0:55:06.120
<v Speaker 2>because that one wipes your entire phone. Reset all Settings,

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I think just brings your phone kind of back to

0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:11.640
<v Speaker 2>back to kind of let me just see reset all

0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:17.640
<v Speaker 2>settings iPhone. So Yeah, this will reset let's see, keeps

0:55:17.680 --> 0:55:20.759
<v Speaker 2>your apps and data, but resets your personal preferences and

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:26.800
<v Speaker 2>network settings. So you can try that. I think that

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:29.359
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to be as bad, but it might

0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:31.840
<v Speaker 2>help you. Now, have you tried just closing out that app,

0:55:32.280 --> 0:55:34.759
<v Speaker 2>like where you take the settings app and you sort

0:55:34.760 --> 0:55:37.120
<v Speaker 2>of close it out by what iPhone?

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the eight or the ten?

0:55:40.239 --> 0:55:40.319
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:55:40.520 --> 0:55:41.080
<v Speaker 3>The six? Ass?

0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Success, So just double click you know, your home button

0:55:44.760 --> 0:55:46.880
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, you just wipe away the settings

0:55:46.880 --> 0:55:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and that doesn't get get rid of it either, just

0:55:51.239 --> 0:55:54.040
<v Speaker 2>get it No until there and so if you go

0:55:54.120 --> 0:55:56.040
<v Speaker 2>into okay, here's what I want you to go into.

0:55:56.440 --> 0:55:58.959
<v Speaker 2>I think it's an Apple Pay thing. That's that's my thought.

0:55:58.960 --> 0:55:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you have Apple Pay on this.

0:56:01.040 --> 0:56:03.319
<v Speaker 5>No, I've never set it up, never used it.

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:05.359
<v Speaker 2>See, I think they want you to set up Apple Pay.

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:08.920
<v Speaker 2>So go into your settings and where it says wallet

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and Apple Pay. Click there, yeah, and what.

0:56:11.160 --> 0:56:17.759
<v Speaker 5>Happens, Uh, there's a Apple pay cash that's off at

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:22.200
<v Speaker 5>credit or debit card and double click home button allow excess.

0:56:22.960 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So now go back and is it still there?

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:28.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Interesting and under your Okay, So now go into your

0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Apple ID and under the name, phone numbers, and email.

0:56:35.520 --> 0:56:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Try that one as well. There's a lot of information

0:56:40.040 --> 0:56:43.680
<v Speaker 2>on here. That's a you've stumped me, that's a that's

0:56:43.680 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 2>a great How do you always have the oddest problems?

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:47.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a that's a that's a stumper right there.

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, that's uh.

0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if it's not doing it with a restart,

0:56:54.640 --> 0:56:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I would think you might want to try those two

0:56:56.320 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 2>settings to reset things before you do the reset of

0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the main reason, not the full reset,

0:57:02.239 --> 0:57:04.480
<v Speaker 2>but the reset your settings. I would just kind of

0:57:04.520 --> 0:57:08.960
<v Speaker 2>look at that and see what the deal is with

0:57:09.160 --> 0:57:10.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, like just kind of research a little bit.

0:57:10.719 --> 0:57:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But I think you'll be okay. You'll just have to

0:57:12.080 --> 0:57:14.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of like set up a couple of things here

0:57:14.239 --> 0:57:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and there. But I think that's what it needs to

0:57:16.040 --> 0:57:17.959
<v Speaker 2>run through, that flow of the setup of the phone,

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:21.240
<v Speaker 2>because it's obviously hung on something and it's a weird one, okay,

0:57:21.760 --> 0:57:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Steven says on his mom's phone, it was because she

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:28.000
<v Speaker 2>ran out of iCloud backup space, so that could happen.

0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you are you using iCloud?

0:57:32.040 --> 0:57:32.200
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:35.280
<v Speaker 5>I usually just connect my phone to the computer and

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:36.760
<v Speaker 5>download my pictures through there.

0:57:37.360 --> 0:57:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Interesting Yeah, that's weird.

0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 2>I know. My it's funny because my father in law

0:57:41.560 --> 0:57:43.600
<v Speaker 2>had the same problem and I did like two steps

0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and I got rid of it, and he was like,

0:57:45.280 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, I've been looking at this thing forever.

0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:49.840
<v Speaker 1>But it had to do with his on Apple pay.

0:57:50.080 --> 0:57:54.720
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. But all right, Greg, let me

0:57:54.800 --> 0:57:56.720
<v Speaker 2>know next week what happens with that if you can

0:57:56.760 --> 0:57:59.080
<v Speaker 2>figure it out. If those two settings will help clear

0:57:59.120 --> 0:57:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it out.

0:57:59.360 --> 0:58:02.600
