16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm using a new service for podcasting. Let's see.

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 2: It's called Pipa, and so far, so good. Pipa gave

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: me an account to use, and so.

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: There it is.

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: It's the simplest, smartest way to share your podcast get

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: started for free. And what I love about Pippa is

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: that they kind of take everything from the beginning to

23
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: the end, so they give you all your show pages,

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: your share pages. They get it onto Alexa. I'm working

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: on making it so you'll be able to ask Alexa, Hey, Alexa,

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: give me you know, rich on tech flash Briefing and

27
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: that'll be kind of cool. So you can just listen

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: to my daily podcast update through there, and it's just cool.

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: I just really like what they're doing with Pipa dot io,

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: so thanks so much to them. Shout out to Pippa

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: for letting me test out the service, and so far,

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: so good.

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm loving it.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: I've done more with the podcast since i've been on there,

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: and what I love is I'm able to see my

36
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm able to see my statistics, so I can see

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: how many people are downloading the show and it's done

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: pretty well. So I'm very excited about the analytics we're getting.

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: Let's see if I can see them real quick. But

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: the let's see in the last fifteen hundred downloads, that's

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: pretty good.

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: I like that.

43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, Pipa dot io if you want to check

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: that out for yourself.

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: So welcome to the show.

46
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: As you can see here on my desk if you're

47
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: watching on the live stream, I've got Apple's new home pod.

48
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 2: This is a three hundred and fifty dollars smart speaker.

49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: So this is Apple's answer to Alexa from Amazon, the

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Echo also Google Home and let's see, is there anything

51
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: else out there? I think that's pretty much it for now,

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: and also so nos I guess too. But this is

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: a beautifully designed speaker. I've had it now just about

54
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: a day, so I haven't done a whole lot with it,

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: but so far I can tell you this beautiful design.

56
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: Super premium.

57
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're paying a lot of money for

58
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: this thing, so it is going to be really nice.

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: The just the way it all sets up and everything

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: very simple, very easy to use. You literally hold your

61
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: iPhone next to this thing and it sets itself up

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: through your iPhone. It's very slick. They did a really

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: nice job. So for three hundred and fifty dollars, what

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: do you get, Well, you get a speaker that sounds

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: really good.

66
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Then you also get a.

67
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: You know, all the home assistant stuff so you can

68
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: ask Siri questions. So let's try a question. Hey Siri,

69
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: what's the weather like in Los Angeles?

70
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 4: It's currently clear and eighty four degrees in Los Angeles, California.

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: Your pictures are heading down from eighty four degrees this

72
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: afternoon to sixty tonight. My weather data is provided by

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: the weather channel.

74
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you.

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, let me know if you can hear that,

76
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: because I can turn her up louder if you need to.

77
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: There's actually a little touch touch thing up here. Oh

78
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 2: it's playing music, so you can see the top. When

79
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: you press play, you actually get some plus and minus

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: so you can adjust the audio.

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: On there, and it gets it gets really loud. I mean,

82
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can hear that this thing,

83
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: so maybe we should go in there more so.

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: Every bit of music that I've heard through this thing

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: so far sounds really really good. And again you can

86
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: ask you questions like, hey, Siri, how many ounces in

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: a gallon?

88
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: One gallon is one hundred and twenty eight fluid ounces.

89
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I will tell you this.

90
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have my full report on this on KTLA

91
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, but I will tell you this that I

92
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: listened to this thing against the Google Home Max, the

93
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: Amazon Echo, and the sons. Now I have Sonos all

94
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: over the place. I love my Sonos speakers. I thought

95
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: those sounded so good until I've heard this. And let

96
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: me give you the ranking. So now my new ranking

97
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: is HomePod, then Google Home Max. That's the big one

98
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: that also sells I think that's four hundred bucks. Then

99
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: you've got Sons and then Amazon Echo.

100
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: So here's the deal.

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Amazon Echo definitely did not sound as good

102
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: next to this thing. But if you're listening to them isolated,

103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: like as in you're not listening to them all at

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: the same time, you're really not gonna know the difference.

105
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: This just really blows them away.

106
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: When you have it next to them and you're I

107
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: listened to the same song skipping among the speakers, and

108
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: you could definitely tell that the home Pop has done

109
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 2: its homework because it sounds fantastic. Now, is it worth

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars? That's the big question, because

111
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: really the only music service you can use through this

112
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: natively is Apple Music, and that costs ten dollars a month.

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Now, I get it.

114
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: A lot of people pay for Spotify and Pandora and

115
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: iHeart whatever, but that's the only native app. So when

116
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: you ask Siri to play a song, Hey Siri, Hey Siri,

117
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: Oh she's listening on my phone. Hey Siri, play blood

118
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Pop justin Bieber Friends.

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, Okay, so.

120
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: For some reason she's answering on my phone when she

121
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: should be answering here, but usually she should answer on

122
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: the proper device. I've noticed that's kind of a problem

123
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 2: in general with all of these smart home devices.

124
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: If you have a couple of.

125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: Them around, they all kind of answer or they want

126
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: to answer at the same time. These engineers really have

127
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: their work cut out for them to make the right

128
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: thing answer. Let's try that one more time. Hey, Siri,

129
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: play some justin Bieber.

130
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: Sure, here's a personalized station of justin Bieber.

131
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, So there's playing music. Okay, Now,

132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: let me show you the back of this because you okay. So,

133
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: if you want to use a different music service, like

134
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: let's say you want to use iHeartRadio or Pandora, you

135
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: can use your phone to basically airplay that to the speaker.

136
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: And we did that with Spotify.

137
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: It sounded fantastic, but that is not an ideal setup.

138
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: Number One, your phone has to be actively in use.

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: Whereas if you use Apple Music on here, it's pulling

140
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: from Wi Fi, so it's streaming from the cloud, which

141
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: means you can start music and leave the house with

142
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: your phone and still be fine, or someone can come

143
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: into your house and play music without your phone. Being

144
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: there and on the back there is no input, so

145
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: you really don't have any other input to plug in,

146
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: you know, like a three point five millimeters cable to

147
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: put any sort of other input into here.

148
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: That's it.

149
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: It's airplay, and that's basically it. Maybe Bluetooth. I'm not

150
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: sure if you can bluetooth something. It does not show

151
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: up in my list of Bluetooth items right now, but

152
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: it does airplay pretty easily. And the only other thing

153
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: I thought was kind of weird is that this does

154
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: not disconnect.

155
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: So this little.

156
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: Wire right here is permanently in there. So let's look

157
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: at what you guys are saying. Let's see so Barry

158
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: says he's going to look into Google Home. Max Peter

159
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: says it's awesome. Too bad it's Apple only. Ruby says,

160
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: which I can afford it, it is expensive, and let's

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: see here.

162
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: What else.

163
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: Laurie says, Well, it talk to my Apple TV and

164
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: play audio while movies are playing. Theoretically you could get

165
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: it to do that because you could airplayer Apple TV

166
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: for this device.

167
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: That would be a little bit complicated, but you can.

168
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: You can do that for sure. So yeah, so there

169
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: you have it. There's the Home pod.

170
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: But again, you can do a lot of cool stuff

171
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: with it. I think for three hundred and fifty dollars,

172
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: this is a premium buy. This is for someone who

173
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: loves Apple. They're in the Apple ecosystem. I assume that

174
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,559
Speaker 2: Apple thinks people are going to sign up for Apple

175
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: Music to get this speaker, but I think it's the opposite.

176
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: If you already have Apple Music, which a lot of

177
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: people do, you're gonna be like, all right, well that

178
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: works with Apple Music.

179
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I already use that.

180
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: I already have an iPhone, I already have an iPad,

181
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: I have a MacBook.

182
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Let me get their speaker.

183
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: But that's a premium buy, especially if you're looking at

184
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: getting one of these in a different room. Let's say

185
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: you want it in two rooms. Well, guess what, now

186
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: you're looking at seven hundred bucks. But there could be

187
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: other things going on here.

188
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Apple could come out with.

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: A smaller version, which we can see, and that might

190
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: be cheaper as well. So all right, I'm gonna open

191
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: up the phone lines three one zero five nine four

192
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: three zero zero three. You can ask a question about

193
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: the home pod, or any question that you want. Joe says,

194
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: it seems way too limited to be worth the money

195
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: right now.

196
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: And you know it's it's one of those things. It's

197
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna appeal to certain people.

198
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: You know. I could see this being placed in a

199
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: lot of apartments. So if you're kind of a maybe

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: a single person that has an apartment and you just

201
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: want a really cool, slick looking speaker, Yes, that sounds good.

202
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: I can see it in like a lot of kind

203
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: of restaurants, cafes, like an art gallery type place anywhere

204
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: that there's a priority for design and sound.

205
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: That's where this speaker is going to fit in. Really good.

206
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: So Barry says Android all the way, but rich is

207
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: great KTLA channel five with the hashtag I love that,

208
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: and Laurie says great for Valentine's gift for my sweetheart. Well,

209
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 2: if your sweetheart loves loves Apple, you should definitely get

210
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: them one of these things. I think they would like it.

211
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: All right, phone line is open. I know there's a

212
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: slight delay, but three one zero five nine four three

213
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: zero zero three. While you wait for that call, let

214
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: me talk about something that I thought was pretty interesting.

215
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: Samsung and Roku smart TVs vulnerable to hacking, according to

216
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: Consumer Reports.

217
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: So Consumer Reports.

218
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: Did a big study and they found that millions of

219
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: smart TVs can be controlled by hackers exploiting easy to

220
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: find security flaws. Well no, duh, they're smart TVs. What

221
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: do you think is going to happen? So they found

222
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: that the problems affect Samsung televisions primarily along with models

223
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: made by TCL and other brands that use the Roku

224
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: TV smart TV platform, as well as streaming.

225
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Devices like the Roku Ultra. So here's what they found.

226
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: That a hacker could do change channels, play offensive content,

227
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: crank up the volume, and all this could be done

228
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: over the web.

229
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: So what did they figure out?

230
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, they basically figured out some sort of open port

231
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: that's available to someone that's pretty you know, probably tech savvy,

232
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: but not you and I necessarily, but someone that knows

233
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: a little bit about coding and back doors and all

234
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: this stuff, and they figured out a way to kind

235
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: of change some things on your TV.

236
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: So is this a huge deal? I mean, obviously we.

237
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: Don't want this stuff to happen. We don't want our

238
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: TVs to be hacked. We don't want people to be

239
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: able to see what we're doing. But the reality is

240
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: the stuff they're talking about change channels, play offensive content,

241
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 2: crank up the volume. Yes, that would definitely be scary

242
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: if you're sitting in your house and someone starts playing

243
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: a movie on your TV that you did not ask

244
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: for or changes the volume. And these are the kind

245
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: of things now, I'll be honest. When I was a kid,

246
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: here's the thing, I did the same thing. I just

247
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: pointed a remote out my window at my neighbor's house

248
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: and did the same thing. Or I sat in the

249
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: back of the living room while my parents were watching

250
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: TV and I'd sit under the couch and I would

251
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: do the same thing with the remote and freak them out.

252
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: So it's not something that hasn't happened before.

253
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: It's just a new way of doing it, and hackers

254
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: are finding those exploits. So now, if there's cameras on

255
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: the TV, that would definitely be a problem. But this

256
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: goes to show a larger problem in general, and that

257
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: is the smart home. We are putting so many devices

258
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: in our homes that listen and watch and we don't

259
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: want people to have access to those. So again, that's

260
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: why reports like this come out, because we want these

261
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: companies to be on their toes. We want people to

262
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: be looking for these exploits so that we can find

263
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: them and we can.

264
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: Close those holes. That's what we want to happen. Two

265
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: one three, you're on with Rich. Two one three, you're

266
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: on with Rich. Hello.

267
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 5: Hello, Hey, l I couldn't hear you. The question I

268
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: wanted to ask is if Sonos could be played in

269
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: I mean that Sonos the home Pod could be played

270
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 5: in stereo.

271
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: Good question.

272
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: So yes, HomePod can be Now do you mean with

273
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: one home pod or two?

274
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: Two?

275
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, So they are coming out with a feature

276
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: later this year. And I already saw it in preview.

277
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: So they had two HomePods set up and they were

278
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: playing in stereo. They do link up with each other

279
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: and so, and it sounded fantastic. But that feature is

280
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: coming later this year. They didn't say when it's coming,

281
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: but it is a promised feature on the HomePod I

282
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: saw yesterday, so it's definitely available. They're just working out

283
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: the bugs, I assume. So, yes, you can hook up

284
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: two HomePods and make them stereo. And again, one thing

285
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: I did not mention about the HomePod is that part

286
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: of the magic of this thing is how it sounds

287
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: in the room and adjusts to the room that it's in,

288
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: So no matter where you place it in that room,

289
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: it does do three P sixty sound and it kind

290
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: of figures out is it right in front of a wall,

291
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: is it in the center of the room, and it

292
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: adjusts accordingly.

293
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: So Apple has definitely worked some magic into this. Now.

294
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Sonos has had something like that.

295
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: That for many years, but it required you kind of

296
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: holding up your phone to tune the speaker so it

297
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: can hear around the room. And I tried to do

298
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: that with mine and that it never worked, so I

299
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: didn't really give.

300
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: It much thought. But yeah, so does that answer your question?

301
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure does.

302
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,479
Speaker 5: Thank you very much and shout out to everybody at KTLA.

303
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: I love your news.

304
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for calling in. I appreciate it.

305
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: Rose says, Are you able to receive incoming calls and

306
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: talk through the speaker? Great question, Rose, So we tried this.

307
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: I called my wife through here. So here's how it works.

308
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: You cannot just say to Siri, can you call this

309
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: phone number that is not enabled just yet, But what

310
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: you can do is you can make a phone call

311
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: through the phone and then transfer it to your speaker.

312
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: So when you make a call, you know how you

313
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: have little that little uh sign here that says like.

314
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: Bluetooth or car or whatever.

315
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: You just press that once and then you'll see your

316
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: home pod listed. You press that and your call will

317
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: immediately transfer. And by the way, the call sounded fantastic.

318
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: I can't get over how good the sound is on

319
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: this thing. So I understand it's a super premium, expensive product.

320
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: But the reality is, if you purchase this product for

321
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dollars, you're.

322
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: Not going to be disappointed. You're not going to get

323
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: it home and say, ah, I could have gotten an

324
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: echo for eighty bucks. No, no, no, this is not

325
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: the same sound quality as an echo. Echo sounds like

326
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: a tin can compared to this device. And I'm not

327
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the echo is bad. It's just totally different.

328
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: This is a premium speaker product that Apple has put

329
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: a lot of work into, and the echo sounds great

330
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: until you get it next to this, and then.

331
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: Of course it's a little bit different.

332
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: All right, phone line is open three one zero five

333
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: nine four three zero zero three.

334
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Jose says, how did you really like the Vava dash cam?

335
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, And then we've got another Hiram says,

336
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to buy the dash cam, but I can't

337
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: find the link for the code to get the discount.

338
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: So let me tell you about the Vava dashcam.

339
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: Let's see here Vava. Let me just bring it up.

340
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: So Vava dashcam is basically one of the best dash

341
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: cams I've ever tested. And here's what I love about it.

342
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: It is a one hundred and thirty dollars dash cam

343
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: that let me get you there it is. Oh oh, whoops,

344
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: I brought up. I brought it up on the wrong page.

345
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: Hang on, let me bring it up on the right

346
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: page here. So Vava is a one hundred and thirty

347
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: dollars dash cam and it's got a really unique design.

348
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: Number one.

349
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: And let me just tell you, this was the top

350
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: rated story I have ever done in the history of KTLA.

351
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: More of you went to the website yesterday to check

352
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: out this dashcam and to check out this deal than

353
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: anything else. I cannot believe how I knew it was

354
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: gonna be popular because this was really cool. I did

355
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: not realize just how popular it would be. So this

356
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: dashcam normally sells for one hundred and thirty dollars. It

357
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: has a swivel mount so you can swivel it. Three

358
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: sixty does not shoot. Three sixty video shoots video one way.

Speaker 1: Looks really nice.

362
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: I've got a sample video in here, and I actually

363
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: downloaded I actually.

364
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: Downloaded a Let's see if I can find it.

365
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: I downloaded a video at night because you were asking, hey,

366
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: can you send one at night? So let's see if

367
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: I can find one Fava dashcam night sample.

368
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Let's see if mine comes up.

369
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: I uploaded this this morning to YouTube, so hopefully there

370
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: it is. So oh, someone else upload it. But here's

371
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: what it looks like. And I think it looks pretty

372
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: darn good. That's not even it hasn't even clicked into

373
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: HD yet. There it is seven twenty.

374
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: But that's a pretty bright picture.

375
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good looking picture, and you can definitely

376
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: make out all of the details.

377
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: In the picture.

378
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: Especially you want to be able to make out license plates,

379
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: So if you were to pause that and zoom in,

380
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: you'd definitely be able to see those license plates as well.

381
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: But there you go. That's my drive into work, so

382
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: you can see.

383
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: That's going down Vine and let's see stop rich, Okay,

384
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: I did, and then taking a left there on Sunset Boulevard.

385
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: So Dahlia says, why does one need a dash cam?

386
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: That's a great question. So here's the thing. You don't

387
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: need a dash cam.

388
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: But there's something very satisfying about having a dash cam.

389
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 2: You have a confidence on the road that you just

390
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: don't have normally because you know if something happens in

391
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: front of you or to your car, that.

392
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: This dash cam is going to capture it. And you

393
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: know if people cut you off, you get to an accident.

394
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: It's just nice to have that video record of everything

395
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: that goes on, plus the audio as well, So you

396
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: get the audio of what's happening in your car, plus

397
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: you get your speed and location. You can turn off

398
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: the speed on, hold on, let's uh, let's close this

399
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: so you can let me get back to where I was.

400
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: You can set the so it doesn't show you the

401
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: speedometer on your car if you want to do that,

402
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: but it also captures the sound in your car as well,

403
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: so you know what's going on. Now, the here's the deal.

404
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: Here's what I did not like about the dashcam. And

405
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: the dashcam is good, but it does not shoot the

406
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: front and the back at the same time. So I

407
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 2: was rear ended a couple months ago, probably I don't know,

408
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: six months ago at this point, and it would have

409
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: been nice to have that back, you know, where I

410
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: could see what that car did behind me before they

411
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: ran into me. You know, it would have just captured

412
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: the front, which still would have been interesting to kind

413
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: of hear what transpired. You could hear me talking to

414
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: the other person, but it would have been nice to

415
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: see what was going on behind me. So anyway, it's

416
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 2: just one of those things that's nice to have. So

417
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: long story short, the Vava cam. If you want to

418
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 2: look at it, here's the deal. You can go to

419
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: the website and if you go down to the bottom.

420
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: I talked to the company. Normally I don't do this,

421
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: but I was like, you know what, this thing sells

422
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 2: for one hundred and thirty bucks. I think it would

423
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: be amazing under one hundred dollars. I said, if you

424
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: can get it under one hundred bucks, I think we're

425
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: going to sell a billion of these things because it's

426
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: so good. Like people want one of these, but they

427
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: don't want to spend so much money. And next thing,

428
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: you know, they got it for ninety five ninety nine.

429
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: So if you go to Amazon search Vava dashcam and

430
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: use the code rich on tech. You can find this

431
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: all at ktla dot com slash tech, but that's what

432
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: you do, and you can order it through there.

433
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: So wow, you guys already. Dedra says, she already got

434
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: hers delivered today.

435
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 2: That's amazing. She used the code yesterday, that's awesome. Yeah,

436
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: Grace says, I love the dash cam. Wish I could

437
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: have used it when a woman backed into my car.

438
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: There you go, so you have it there as well.

439
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: It also keeps a record of all the places that

440
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: you drive, so I really like that as well. Here's

441
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: the other thing, so I wanted to make sure that

442
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: the Vava cam was a good deal, so I actually checked.

443
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: There's this website called Camel Camel Camel and you can

444
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 2: check to see kind of like what the prices are

445
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: on Amazon. And this was the cheapest price, or is

446
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: the cheapest price in at least ninety days, since it

447
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: only launched on de Summer sixth, and the cheapest price

448
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: it was before that was one hundred and nineteen dollars.

449
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: So I really love this dash cam. I think it's

450
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: really cool.

451
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 2: It's got some other features that I haven't even talked about,

452
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: which include there is a snapshot, so you can actually

453
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: there's this little button that you put on your somewhere

454
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: on your dashboard, and it's like a little bluetooth. It

455
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: looks like a little circle like this. You just press

456
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: that and next thing you know, it takes a snapshot too.

457
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: You can take a snapshot of you. You know, you'd

458
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: swivel it around and take a picture of your friends

459
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 2: in your car while you're stopped of course, or you know,

460
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: you can have it aimed at you and you can

461
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: take a void so you can just do, you know,

462
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: like whatever you want. There's so many little things you

463
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: can do. If you want to be a YouTube star.

464
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: You can solve it around and do some carpool karaoke.

465
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: Now, I will tell you I don't think you should

466
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: do that because I.

467
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: Don't think anyone should be singing with their friends while

468
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: they drive, because that's very dangerous. So I don't know

469
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: how James Corden does it, but it seems very every

470
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: time I watch that show, I'm.

471
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: Like, please be careful, please be careful.

472
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Now, I know, on like normal shows like if they're

473
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 2: driving in a car. The car is being pulled by

474
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: a trailer, so they're fine. But I think in carpool

475
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: karaoke he's actually driving while they sing, which just seems

476
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: absolutely insane to me.

477
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: So let's see Peter says he's ordering it. Now, there

478
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: you go, all right, So there's the Vava camp. You

479
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: guys love that story, so man I was.

480
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: I was very impressed with a Vava cam with that.

481
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Full lines open three one zero five, nine four three

482
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: zero zero three three one zero five to nine four.

483
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 5: Three zero zero three.

484
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 2: Let's see, there's some I print all these things I

485
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: want to talk to you guys about, and let's see.

486
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. So Amazon is.

487
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: Going to start delivering from Whole Foods, so or I

488
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: guess they already started today. So if you're an Amazon

489
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: Prime member, you can get free two hour delivery on

490
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: orders over thirty five dollars from Whole Foods. And unfortunately,

491
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: it's only in four neighborhoods, which is Austin, Cincinnati, Dallas,

492
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: and Virginia Beach. So I don't know how they pick

493
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: those neighborhoods. But if you live in one of those neighborhoods,

494
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: you're very lucky. So why is this interesting Because you

495
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: might be thinking, well, big deal, I already have Amazon Fresh.

496
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: They've been delivering groceries forever. Well, this is included in

497
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime. Amazon Fresh is not included. That's an extra

498
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: fifteen dollars a month.

499
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: This is free two hour delivery of groceries over thirty

500
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: five dollars if you put in order with your Prime membership.

501
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: So that means you're not paying anything extra for that membership. So, hey, Siri,

502
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: what do you think of Whole Foods?

503
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: I think therefore I am Oh, let's not put to

504
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: cart before divorce.

505
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: I feel like Siri is my like sidekick on this show.

506
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: I think that Siri is uh is gonna be uh,

507
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: She's just gonna be here forever because I can just

508
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: ask her questions. Oh, all these people asking about the discount.

509

Speaker 2: Please share the code. The code very easy. It's rich

510
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,119

511
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,320

00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: you go. That's why I always say rich on tech

526
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: dot TV, because I put everything on here. If it's

527
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: a small mention of something like a lot of people

528
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: were asking I mentioned that book I was reading the

529
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: other day called Crush It.

530
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: A lot of you asked, you emailed me, Hey, what

531
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: was the name of that book? Well, guess what. See

532
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: what it says looking for a link to something I mentioned,

533
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: Check here and guess what. There it is. There's the link.

534
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: Here's the book I bought. So sometimes you have to

535
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: kind of just look a little bit, but you will

536
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: find it.

537
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: And there's the book Crushing It, which by the way,

538
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: is fantastic. So okay, so you have that, and then

539
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: you go back to the homepage and here's the dash

540
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: cam story. So I click there and about a bing

541
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: about a boom. Here we go scroll down and the

542
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: code is right here at the bottom of the page.

543
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: So there's the code. So there's the code.

544
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: So you can actually click here you've got the Amazon

545
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: click and then use the code, add it to your

546
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: shopping cart, and then you can add it at the

547
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: code at checkout rich on tech which will take a

548
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: lot of money off one it's normally one thirty and

549
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: it will come down to ninety six or ninety seven dollars.

550
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: So there you go, rich on tech dot TV. And

551
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: the other thing I meant to mention about the dashcan

552
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: that I like is that it does have a battery inside,

553
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: so even when your car is off, it's still active.

554
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: It's not recording, but if your car gets bumped, there

555
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: is a G sensor in there, so it will sense

556
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: that and it will trigger a recording.

557
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: So again, if someone hits your car and.

558
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 2: Then speeds off, you'll be able to get their license

559
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: plate or something like that, or if they try to

560
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 2: get in your car, you know, they'd have to walk

561
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: past your car for you.

562
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: To see them.

563
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: But anyway, that's the that's the deal with that.

564
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: So all right, phone.

565
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: Lines open three one zero five nine four three zero

566
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: zero three. You have a tech question, go ahead and

567
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: call in. You can definitely call in and get right through.

568
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: Right now, let's see what else we want to talk

569
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 2: about here Vava, We've got.

570
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Disney, We've got I g oh Apple watch. I thought

571
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: this was this was pretty good. Oh, you know what,

572
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: let me do some while you guys are calling in.

573
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: I'll do some. I'll do some of the comments here.

574
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: Andreas said, I just got an Echo a few days ago.

575
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 2: Now what lol, I think you'll be okay with the

576
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 2: Echo this. Let this one kind of simmer for a

577
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 2: little bit before you go ahead and order that. Philip says,

578
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: the dash cam is perfect for Uber drivers. It is

579
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 2: perfect except for Uber drivers. I guess see, if I

580
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: was an Uber driver, I'd want the front and the

581
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: back recorded at the same time. So I think in

582
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: a future version of the Vava cam, they're gonna do

583
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: front and back and I would assume three sixty video

584
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: at one point, because that would be the ideal. You

585
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: just capture the entire thing at the same time.

586
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: So there you go.

587
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: All right, we got the code, we got that, We

588
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: got that.

589
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: Okay, good. Please share this podcast so more people can

590
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: be enlightened. Yeah, please.

591
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the thing. I you know, I do

592
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: this for fun. I do this to answer your questions.

593
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: And that's the reality of it is that if you

594
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: find out about it and you know about it, it's awesome.

595
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: I love it, Thank you so much. But I don't

596
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: like sit there and advertise.

597
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: I barely mentioned this on KTLA ever, but I do

598
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: do it, and I do like doing it because it

599
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: is fun.

600
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: So there you have it, and the phone numbers on

601
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: the screen.

602
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, the phone number is Go ahead and call in

603
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: three one zero five nine four three zero zero three.

604
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: That is my personal number. You will get through. So

605
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: there you go.

606
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: All right, this I thought was really cool. Apple Watch

607
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: can detect early signs of diabetes with eighty.

608
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: Five percent accuracy.

609
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: So part of an ongoing study involving Apple Watch and

610
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: Android users, researchers at app developer, Cardiogram and the University

611
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: of UCSF they basically trained a network called deep Heart

612
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: to figure out people with and without diabetes at an

613
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: eighty five percent accuracy just by looking at their stats

614
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: from Apple Watch. They looked at fourteen thousand users, and

615
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: they looked at thirty three thousand weeks of health censored

616
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: data and basically they trained this artificial intelligence to kind

617
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: of figure out do these people have diabetes?

618
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: And I thought that that's.

619
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing because this is kind of the holy grail

620
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: of medicine, is that because we're wearing these smart devices

621
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: that are always monitoring us, that we can kind of

622
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: tell things in advance of feeling really sick. So let's see,

623
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: they presented samples with and without diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea,

624
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: atriol fibrillation, and high cholesterol. So they fed all this

625
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: information into a computer and the computer said, Okay, we

626
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: see these patterns developing, and now just by sensing the

627
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: person with their watch, we can figure out what's.

628
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Going on with them. I think that's amazing.

629
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: Now, if you've heard the rumor from Apple, they are

630
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: trying to develop a non invasive glucose sensor for the

631
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: Apple Watch, which would be unbelievable because now I don't

632
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know anyone personally with diabetes, but

633
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people out there have it,

634
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: and I know of the disease, and I understand that

635
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: you're testing yourself all the time. I mean I know

636
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 2: someone actually, I do know someone that has it, and

637
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: he actually wears a sensor that is kind of embedded

638
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: in his body the whole time. This would mean you

639
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: don't have to do any sort of blood test, which

640
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: is really amazing.

641
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: So that's what Apple's working on. That's not here just yet.

642
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: But again they say the holy grail of modern medical

643
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: science would be a system that allows diabetics to continuously

644
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: monitor their sugar levels without performing blood draws, and that

645
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: would be unbelievable. So and I do think Apple will

646
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: accomplish that.

647
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: I really do.

648
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: I think Apple is really trying to put a lot

649
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: behind the Apple Watch. All Right, someone was brave at

650
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: to call in seven one four You're on with Rich? Hello, Hey,

651
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: who am I speaking with?

652
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, just second here, I've got to turn on this speak.

653
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a little it's a little complicated because

654
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: it's delayed as well. So it's kind of like the

655
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: old timey radio, you know, and you call and you'd

656
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: hear the person in the background. So let me know

657
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: when you're ready, seven to one four.

658
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I've got my uh, I'm using my iPhone

659
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: and i've got it on speaker phone, but I can't

660
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 3: hear you on the phone.

661
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Hmm, I wonder why.

662
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 5: I don't know.

663
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: Oh, you have to wait to hear me through the

664
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: through the Facebook Live, which is super delayed, right.

665
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: I think so?

666
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, interesting, all right, well we'll try to power

667
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: through it. What's your question?

668
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: Okay, now I can hear you.

669
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go.

670
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: I think I see the home pod next year. It's

671
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: a little bit bigger than I expected. I got a

672
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: notice that it's on the UPS truck for tomorrow for delivery.

673
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: How do you like it so far?

674
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I love it.

675
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's it's probably one of the

676
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: best sounding speakers that I've listened to. So I think

677
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna be very happy with the audio quality.

678
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: Are you a Are you an Apple Music subscriber already

679
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: or are you planning on signing up? Yes?

680
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes I am.

681
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: Okay, So, I mean, if you're an Apple Music subscriber,

682
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean you could just literally talk to it, say

683
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: you know, you can call out a playlist, you can

684
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: call it a genre, a specific song. You can just

685
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: say play me some music and it will play. And

686
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: the audio quality is unbelievable, gets super loud. It's small,

687
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: but Apple has done so many great things with tuning

688
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: this and making it work in any room. So it's

689
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: got three hundred and sixty degree sound. And from what

690
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: I heard yesterday when I had it compared against these

691
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: other smart speakers, the only one that came close was

692
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 2: the one from Google, which is four hundred dollars by

693
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: the way, So it's not like it's it's cheaper than this.

694
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: So now if you put it together, you know, next

695
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: to Sonos, which I really love.

696
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: I was.

697
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: I was very impressed with the It sounded better than Sono's,

698
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: which to me has always been the gold standard.

699
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: So what feature are you looking forward to me?

700
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: I am the owned a a speaker, you know, a

701
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: device where you can talk to it. Yeah, I've got iPad,

702
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: iPhones and all that stuff, but I have yet to

703
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: uh to get one of these. And it looks pretty good.

704
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: I like, I ordered the white one. I like things white,

705
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: not black.

706
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: So well, now you said you said it looks bigger

707
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: than you think. I mean it's it might be because

708
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: it's closer to the camera if I hold it back.

709
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's about how big it is. So it's

710
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: not it's it is heavy, though, I will tell you

711
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: it's got some weight on it.

712
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what the what the weight is, but

713
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: it is a heavy speaker.

714
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: And it's got this great mesh design that it's just

715
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: it feels great.

716
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Not that you really want to push.

717
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: It in because it is a mesh. It could be

718
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 2: damaged that way, I think, But it's just it's very

719
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: minimalistic looking. It will fit into your you know, your house.

720
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: That kind of blends into the background. But it's also

721
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: kind of a statement because it is so well designed.

722
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: And you do have the touch controls on the top too,

723
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: so if you want to start playing something, you can

724
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: just tap I believe, let's see, Yeah, you can just

725
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: tap once, and you also have the volume up and down.

726
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: Can you also plug in a radio or something to

727
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: the speaker in the back or.

728
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: No, you can't plug anything into the back. In fact,

729
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: I was actually surprised that the cable does not plug in,

730
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: even like the power cable does not come out. It's

731
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: just built in there, which is kind of odd for

732
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: a speaker these days. Yeah, but yeah, so you can't

733
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: plug anything into the back. There is no external input whatsoever.

734
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: The only way you can get an external audio source

735
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: into it is by using airplay off your iPhone now

736
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I have to look and see if

737
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: you can use Bluetooth, but I I know for sure

738
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: you can use airplay. But here's the thing, this is

739
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: this is first day. You know, it comes out tomorrow.

740
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: Apple probably just wanted to get it out there. I

741
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: have a feeling that they probably would not mind other

742
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: music services being on there in the future, so we'll see.

743
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, is this is there firmware that can be

744
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 3: upgraded over the air or is it?

745
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah, no, no, it's all it's all software.

746
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: So in fact, we had an earlier caller ask if

747
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: you can pair them up with stereo, and that's one

748
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: of the features that's coming later on, so you will

749
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: be able to pair it up with stereo.

750
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: And you'll be able to do that too.

751
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, this is definitely one of those

752
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: things where it's kind of iPhone, you know, you get

753
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: new features every once in a while and you're just

754
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: like pleasantly surprised, like, oh, it couldn't do this yesterday,

755
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: but now it can do this, And that's exactly what

756
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: they're going to do with home Pod as well. So

757
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to find when you get something out, Yeah,

758
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 2: when when you held it.

759
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: Back, I can see the side and you know, the

760
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: real size of it there to where it's more of

761
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: a manageable size, right, and your your camera makes it

762
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 3: look like a monster.

763
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, we just had it. We just

764
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: had it up close because it's got to be on

765
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: the desk here. But no, no, it's yeah, it's not that.

766
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: You know, it does look like a monster up there.

767
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: You're right now, this is if I hold it back here,

768
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 2: it's definitely it's not a monster.

769
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a good size speaker. It looks really nice.

770
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: So here's the two features that are coming later this year.

771
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: Stereo pair, so if you put two home pods in

772
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 2: the same room, they automatically balance each other to become stereo.

773
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: And then let's see Airplay two, which is basically going

774
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: to allow you to play the same music in various rooms.

775
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: If you get a bunch of these in.

776
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: Different rooms, you can have multi room audio, which right now,

777
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: that's what Sono's kind of pioneered. You can accomplish that

778
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: now with the Echo and also with the Google devices.

779
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: But now you'll be able to do it with this

780
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: later on in the year with a software update.

781
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Yeah. Well I'm gonna have to buy

782
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 3: a lot of ticket to get more than one.

783
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say that that's where this gets expensive.

784
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

785
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm sort of giving myself this my birthday in May. First.

786
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: We're going to use it before then, but this is

787
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: my birthday present and myself, so it's you know, it's

788
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: pretty expensive.

789
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.

790
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: It is a premium purchase, but I think you'll be happy. Yeah.

791
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

792
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: I like Apple products, so that's good. I watch YouTube

793
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: all the time for the latest Apple stuff and looking

794
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: at the new iPads coming this year and everything, and

795
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 3: you know, they look pretty good. Oh, they looked pretty nice.

796
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: I deal with a lot of these companies, Apple, Amazon, Google,

797
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: and I will say that Apple definitely has.

798
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: They have it together, you know what I mean.

799
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: Not that the other companies don't, but Apple is very,

800
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: very on top of things, and they've had their stumbles

801
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 2: in recent years, but they they overall, when you get

802
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: a product from.

803
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: Them, you know that it's been vetted. You know that

804
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: for the most part, they have done their homework on things.

805
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: They've thought of a lot of stuff, and they have

806
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: a theory behind why they do things the way they

807
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: do it, so I think HomePod is no different.

808
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: So all right, okay, well thanks for your time that

809
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

810
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for calling in. I appreciate it. And have

811
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: a happy birthday and enjoy the new home pod. All right,

812
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: there you go. What are the dimensions?

813
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: Since you don't put your hand by it, you know,

814
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: I don't let me see if I have the dimensions.

815
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: I have them right here. Let's see here technical specs.

816
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 2: So it is six point eight inches high, five point

817
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: six inches wide, and it weighs five point five pounds,

818
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: and it comes in white and space gray. And again

819
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: you've got touch and hold for serious. You can just

820
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: touch and hold here.

821
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: What's the weather like in Cabo?

822
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 4: It's currently cloudy and seventy eight degrees in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

823
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: Spect mostly cloudy sky starting in the afternoon. Temperatures are

824
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: heading down from eighty degrees this afternoon to seventy three tonight.

825
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: Wow, she's awfully specific with the weather. You get a

826
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: lot of stuff there.

827
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: What else here? Audio formats Wi Fi? So yeah, setup

828
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: is pretty easy as well.

829
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: All right, if you want to call in three one

830
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: zero five nine four three zero zero three three one

831
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 2: zero five nine four three zero zero three. Mama's Gorhero says,

832
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: how much rich? Three hundred and fifty dollars for the HomePod.

833
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 2: So three hundred and fifty big ones for the HomePod.

834
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: So all right, let's see.

835
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: Do I have anything else I want to talk to

836
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: you guys about before I go here? Oh wow, it's

837
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: already two o'clock. Well we're already going over time. All right,

838
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: one more thing. I'll just talk about Twitter real quick

839
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 2: before we go. So, you know, Twitter posted its first

840
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: profit this week, which is pretty impressive because everyone said that,

841
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: you know, like Twitter is not one of those things.

842
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 2: It's like, you don't think of Twitter as like a

843
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: big business. It has changed the way we communicate. But

844
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: it's not like, oh my gosh, it's not Facebook. It's

845
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: not like this giant, you know, kind of moving force

846
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. It's just kind of there, you know,

847
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: it's like a utility almost. But anyway, the good news

848
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: is the two hundred and eighty character tweets.

849
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, they expanded it. They've doubled how many characters

850
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: you can use. Has actually worked.

851
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: So Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says, people have the room

852
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,479
Speaker 2: and we're seeing less abandonment of tweets, but we're seeing

853
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: a lot more engagement as well, more retweets and more mentions, and.

854
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: So that's a good thing.

855
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: So I guess they're saying that because you can talk

856
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: longer in these tweets, people are actually taking the time

857
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: to craft tweets.

858
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: And I'm guilty of that myself.

859
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: I would start a tweet and I can't fit it,

860
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 2: or I can't you know, I got to sit there

861
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: and like get rid of some words to make it

862
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: all fit, and I'm just like, you know what, nevermind,

863
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 2: and I'll just close out the app. So the two

864
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty characters has definitely given me some breathing

865
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: room on there, and I feel like a lot of

866
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: other people so that was a good thing. Hasn't changed

867
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 2: the fabric of Twitter. I don't feel like it's very

868
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 2: different than it was, but I think that that's probably

869
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: a good thing that they change that.

870
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: So all right, that's going to do it for today's show.

871
