<v Speaker 2>podcasts and search rich on Tech.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm using a new service for podcasting. Let's see.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.639
<v Speaker 2>It's called Pipa, and so far, so good. Pipa gave

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 2>me an account to use, and so.

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>There it is.

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It's the simplest, smartest way to share your podcast get

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>started for free. And what I love about Pippa is

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>that they kind of take everything from the beginning to

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the end, so they give you all your show pages,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 2>your share pages. They get it onto Alexa. I'm working

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>on making it so you'll be able to ask Alexa, Hey, Alexa,

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>give me you know, rich on tech flash Briefing and

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 2>that'll be kind of cool. So you can just listen

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 2>to my daily podcast update through there, and it's just cool.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I just really like what they're doing with Pipa dot io,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so thanks so much to them. Shout out to Pippa

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>for letting me test out the service, and so far,

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>so good.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving it.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I've done more with the podcast since i've been on there,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>and what I love is I'm able to see my

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm able to see my statistics, so I can see

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.759
<v Speaker 2>how many people are downloading the show and it's done

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty well. So I'm very excited about the analytics we're getting.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's see if I can see them real quick. But

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the let's see in the last fifteen hundred downloads, that's

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty good.

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>I like that.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Pipa dot io if you want to check

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that out for yourself.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>So welcome to the show.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>As you can see here on my desk if you're

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>watching on the live stream, I've got Apple's new home pod.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 2>This is a three hundred and fifty dollars smart speaker.

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So this is Apple's answer to Alexa from Amazon, the

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Echo also Google Home and let's see, is there anything

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>else out there? I think that's pretty much it for now,

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and also so nos I guess too. But this is

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a beautifully designed speaker. I've had it now just about

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a day, so I haven't done a whole lot with it,

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>but so far I can tell you this beautiful design.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Super premium.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously you're paying a lot of money for

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>this thing, so it is going to be really nice.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>The just the way it all sets up and everything

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>very simple, very easy to use. You literally hold your

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>iPhone next to this thing and it sets itself up

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 2>through your iPhone. It's very slick. They did a really

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>nice job. So for three hundred and fifty dollars, what

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 2>do you get, Well, you get a speaker that sounds

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>really good.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Then you also get a.

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, all the home assistant stuff so you can

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>ask Siri questions. So let's try a question. Hey Siri,

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>what's the weather like in Los Angeles?

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 4>It's currently clear and eighty four degrees in Los Angeles, California.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Your pictures are heading down from eighty four degrees this

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 4>afternoon to sixty tonight. My weather data is provided by

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 4>the weather channel.

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, thank you.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, let me know if you can hear that,

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>because I can turn her up louder if you need to.

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>There's actually a little touch touch thing up here. Oh

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.839
<v Speaker 2>it's playing music, so you can see the top. When

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>you press play, you actually get some plus and minus

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>so you can adjust the audio.

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>On there, and it gets it gets really loud. I mean,

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you can hear that this thing,

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>so maybe we should go in there more so.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Every bit of music that I've heard through this thing

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 2>so far sounds really really good. And again you can

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 2>ask you questions like, hey, Siri, how many ounces in

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>a gallon?

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>One gallon is one hundred and twenty eight fluid ounces.

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I will tell you this.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have my full report on this on KTLA

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow morning, but I will tell you this that I

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>listened to this thing against the Google Home Max, the

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Echo, and the sons. Now I have Sonos all

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>over the place. I love my Sonos speakers. I thought

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>those sounded so good until I've heard this. And let

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 2>me give you the ranking. So now my new ranking

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>is HomePod, then Google Home Max. That's the big one

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that also sells I think that's four hundred bucks. Then

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you've got Sons and then Amazon Echo.

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>So here's the deal.

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Amazon Echo definitely did not sound as good

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>next to this thing. But if you're listening to them isolated,

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>like as in you're not listening to them all at

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the same time, you're really not gonna know the difference.

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>This just really blows them away.

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 2>When you have it next to them and you're I

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 2>listened to the same song skipping among the speakers, and

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>you could definitely tell that the home Pop has done

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 2>its homework because it sounds fantastic. Now, is it worth

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and fifty dollars? That's the big question, because

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 2>really the only music service you can use through this

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>natively is Apple Music, and that costs ten dollars a month.

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, I get it.

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people pay for Spotify and Pandora and

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>iHeart whatever, but that's the only native app. So when

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>you ask Siri to play a song, Hey Siri, Hey Siri,

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh she's listening on my phone. Hey Siri, play blood

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Pop justin Bieber Friends.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Okay, so.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>For some reason she's answering on my phone when she

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>should be answering here, but usually she should answer on

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the proper device. I've noticed that's kind of a problem

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>in general with all of these smart home devices.

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>If you have a couple of.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Them around, they all kind of answer or they want

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 2>to answer at the same time. These engineers really have

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>their work cut out for them to make the right

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>thing answer. Let's try that one more time. Hey, Siri,

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 2>play some justin Bieber.

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 4>Sure, here's a personalized station of justin Bieber.

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there you go, So there's playing music. Okay, Now,

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>let me show you the back of this because you okay. So,

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>if you want to use a different music service, like

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 2>let's say you want to use iHeartRadio or Pandora, you

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 2>can use your phone to basically airplay that to the speaker.

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And we did that with Spotify.

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>It sounded fantastic, but that is not an ideal setup.

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Number One, your phone has to be actively in use.

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Whereas if you use Apple Music on here, it's pulling

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>from Wi Fi, so it's streaming from the cloud, which

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 2>means you can start music and leave the house with

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>your phone and still be fine, or someone can come

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>into your house and play music without your phone. Being

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 2>there and on the back there is no input, so

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>you really don't have any other input to plug in,

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a three point five millimeters cable to

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 2>put any sort of other input into here.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 2>It's airplay, and that's basically it. Maybe Bluetooth. I'm not

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>sure if you can bluetooth something. It does not show

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>up in my list of Bluetooth items right now, but

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 2>it does airplay pretty easily. And the only other thing

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought was kind of weird is that this does

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>not disconnect.

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So this little.

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Wire right here is permanently in there. So let's look

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>at what you guys are saying. Let's see so Barry

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 2>says he's going to look into Google Home. Max Peter

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>says it's awesome. Too bad it's Apple only. Ruby says,

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 2>which I can afford it, it is expensive, and let's

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 2>see here.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>What else.

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Laurie says, Well, it talk to my Apple TV and

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>play audio while movies are playing. Theoretically you could get

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it to do that because you could airplayer Apple TV

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>for this device.

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>That would be a little bit complicated, but you can.

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>You can do that for sure. So yeah, so there

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you have it. There's the Home pod.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>But again, you can do a lot of cool stuff

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>with it. I think for three hundred and fifty dollars,

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 2>this is a premium buy. This is for someone who

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>loves Apple. They're in the Apple ecosystem. I assume that

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Apple thinks people are going to sign up for Apple

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Music to get this speaker, but I think it's the opposite.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 2>If you already have Apple Music, which a lot of

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>people do, you're gonna be like, all right, well that

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>works with Apple Music.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I already use that.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I already have an iPhone, I already have an iPad,

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a MacBook.

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me get their speaker.

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's a premium buy, especially if you're looking at

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 2>getting one of these in a different room. Let's say

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you want it in two rooms. Well, guess what, now

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at seven hundred bucks. But there could be

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 2>other things going on here.

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Apple could come out with.

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>A smaller version, which we can see, and that might

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>be cheaper as well. So all right, I'm gonna open

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 2>up the phone lines three one zero five nine four

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>three zero zero three. You can ask a question about

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 2>the home pod, or any question that you want. Joe says,

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>it seems way too limited to be worth the money

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know it's it's one of those things. It's

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna appeal to certain people.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>You know. I could see this being placed in a

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of apartments. So if you're kind of a maybe

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>a single person that has an apartment and you just

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>want a really cool, slick looking speaker, Yes, that sounds good.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 2>I can see it in like a lot of kind

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of restaurants, cafes, like an art gallery type place anywhere

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>that there's a priority for design and sound.

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>That's where this speaker is going to fit in. Really good.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 2>So Barry says Android all the way, but rich is

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 2>great KTLA channel five with the hashtag I love that,

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 2>and Laurie says great for Valentine's gift for my sweetheart. Well,

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 2>if your sweetheart loves loves Apple, you should definitely get

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.679
<v Speaker 2>them one of these things. I think they would like it.

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, phone line is open. I know there's a

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 2>slight delay, but three one zero five nine four three

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>zero zero three. While you wait for that call, let

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>me talk about something that I thought was pretty interesting.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Samsung and Roku smart TVs vulnerable to hacking, according to

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Consumer Reports.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>So Consumer Reports.

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Did a big study and they found that millions of

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 2>smart TVs can be controlled by hackers exploiting easy to

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>find security flaws. Well no, duh, they're smart TVs. What

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>do you think is going to happen? So they found

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.319
<v Speaker 2>that the problems affect Samsung televisions primarily along with models

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>made by TCL and other brands that use the Roku

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>TV smart TV platform, as well as streaming.

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Devices like the Roku Ultra. So here's what they found.

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>That a hacker could do change channels, play offensive content,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>crank up the volume, and all this could be done

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>over the web.

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>So what did they figure out?

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, they basically figured out some sort of open port

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that's available to someone that's pretty you know, probably tech savvy,

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>but not you and I necessarily, but someone that knows

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about coding and back doors and all

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.839
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, and they figured out a way to kind

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 2>of change some things on your TV.

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>So is this a huge deal? I mean, obviously we.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Don't want this stuff to happen. We don't want our

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.319
<v Speaker 2>TVs to be hacked. We don't want people to be

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 2>able to see what we're doing. But the reality is

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the stuff they're talking about change channels, play offensive content,

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 2>crank up the volume. Yes, that would definitely be scary

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>if you're sitting in your house and someone starts playing

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 2>a movie on your TV that you did not ask

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>for or changes the volume. And these are the kind

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>of things now, I'll be honest. When I was a kid,

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing, I did the same thing. I just

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 2>pointed a remote out my window at my neighbor's house

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and did the same thing. Or I sat in the

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 2>back of the living room while my parents were watching

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>TV and I'd sit under the couch and I would

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing with the remote and freak them out.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's not something that hasn't happened before.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just a new way of doing it, and hackers

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>are finding those exploits. So now, if there's cameras on

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the TV, that would definitely be a problem. But this

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>goes to show a larger problem in general, and that

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>is the smart home. We are putting so many devices

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 2>in our homes that listen and watch and we don't

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 2>want people to have access to those. So again, that's

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 2>why reports like this come out, because we want these

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>companies to be on their toes. We want people to

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 2>be looking for these exploits so that we can find

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 2>them and we can.

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Close those holes. That's what we want to happen. Two

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>one three, you're on with Rich. Two one three, you're

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>on with Rich. Hello.

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 5>Hello, Hey, l I couldn't hear you. The question I

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 5>wanted to ask is if Sonos could be played in

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean that Sonos the home Pod could be played

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 5>in stereo.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Good question.

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>So yes, HomePod can be Now do you mean with

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 2>one home pod or two?

0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 3>Two?

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yes, So they are coming out with a feature

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 2>later this year. And I already saw it in preview.

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 2>So they had two HomePods set up and they were

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 2>playing in stereo. They do link up with each other

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and so, and it sounded fantastic. But that feature is

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>coming later this year. They didn't say when it's coming,

0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 2>but it is a promised feature on the HomePod I

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 2>saw yesterday, so it's definitely available. They're just working out

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the bugs, I assume. So, yes, you can hook up

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>two HomePods and make them stereo. And again, one thing

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I did not mention about the HomePod is that part

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>of the magic of this thing is how it sounds

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>in the room and adjusts to the room that it's in,

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>So no matter where you place it in that room,

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>it does do three P sixty sound and it kind

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of figures out is it right in front of a wall,

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 2>is it in the center of the room, and it

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>adjusts accordingly.

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>So Apple has definitely worked some magic into this. Now.

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Sonos has had something like that.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 2>That for many years, but it required you kind of

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 2>holding up your phone to tune the speaker so it

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 2>can hear around the room. And I tried to do

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 2>that with mine and that it never worked, so I

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't really give.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It much thought. But yeah, so does that answer your question?

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, sure does.

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.479
<v Speaker 5>Thank you very much and shout out to everybody at KTLA.

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I love your news.

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for calling in. I appreciate it.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Rose says, Are you able to receive incoming calls and

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 2>talk through the speaker? Great question, Rose, So we tried this.

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I called my wife through here. So here's how it works.

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>You cannot just say to Siri, can you call this

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 2>phone number that is not enabled just yet, But what

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>you can do is you can make a phone call

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>through the phone and then transfer it to your speaker.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>So when you make a call, you know how you

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>have little that little uh sign here that says like.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Bluetooth or car or whatever.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 2>You just press that once and then you'll see your

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>home pod listed. You press that and your call will

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 2>immediately transfer. And by the way, the call sounded fantastic.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I can't get over how good the sound is on

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 2>this thing. So I understand it's a super premium, expensive product.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>But the reality is, if you purchase this product for

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and fifty dollars, you're.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Not going to be disappointed. You're not going to get

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>it home and say, ah, I could have gotten an

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>echo for eighty bucks. No, no, no, this is not

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the same sound quality as an echo. Echo sounds like

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 2>a tin can compared to this device. And I'm not

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying the echo is bad. It's just totally different.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>This is a premium speaker product that Apple has put

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of work into, and the echo sounds great

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 2>until you get it next to this, and then.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's a little bit different.

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, phone line is open three one zero five

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 2>nine four three zero zero three.

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Jose says, how did you really like the Vava dash cam?

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 2>So here's the deal, And then we've got another Hiram says,

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to buy the dash cam, but I can't

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>find the link for the code to get the discount.

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>So let me tell you about the Vava dashcam.

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here Vava. Let me just bring it up.

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>So Vava dashcam is basically one of the best dash

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>cams I've ever tested. And here's what I love about it.

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>It is a one hundred and thirty dollars dash cam

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>that let me get you there it is. Oh oh, whoops,

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I brought up. I brought it up on the wrong page.

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Hang on, let me bring it up on the right

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 2>page here. So Vava is a one hundred and thirty

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>dollars dash cam and it's got a really unique design.

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Number one.

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 2>And let me just tell you, this was the top

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>rated story I have ever done in the history of KTLA.

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 2>More of you went to the website yesterday to check

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>out this dashcam and to check out this deal than

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 2>anything else. I cannot believe how I knew it was

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna be popular because this was really cool. I did

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>not realize just how popular it would be. So this

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 2>dashcam normally sells for one hundred and thirty dollars. It

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.400
<v Speaker 2>has a swivel mount so you can swivel it. Three

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty does not shoot. Three sixty video shoots video one way.

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 2>It's got a wide angle one hundred and fifty five

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>degree lens Sony camera.

0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Looks really nice.

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I've got a sample video in here, and I actually

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>downloaded I actually.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Downloaded a Let's see if I can find it.

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I downloaded a video at night because you were asking, hey,

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 2>can you send one at night? So let's see if

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I can find one Fava dashcam night sample.

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if mine comes up.

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I uploaded this this morning to YouTube, so hopefully there

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it is. So oh, someone else upload it. But here's

0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 2>what it looks like. And I think it looks pretty

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>darn good. That's not even it hasn't even clicked into

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 2>HD yet. There it is seven twenty.

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.119
<v Speaker 1>But that's a pretty bright picture.

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a pretty good looking picture, and you can definitely

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 2>make out all of the details.

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>In the picture.

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Especially you want to be able to make out license plates,

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 2>So if you were to pause that and zoom in,

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>you'd definitely be able to see those license plates as well.

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But there you go. That's my drive into work, so

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you can see.

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>That's going down Vine and let's see stop rich, Okay,

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I did, and then taking a left there on Sunset Boulevard.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 2>So Dahlia says, why does one need a dash cam?

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>That's a great question. So here's the thing. You don't

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:41.520
<v Speaker 1>need a dash cam.

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But there's something very satisfying about having a dash cam.

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 2>You have a confidence on the road that you just

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 2>don't have normally because you know if something happens in

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 2>front of you or to your car, that.

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>This dash cam is going to capture it. And you

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 1>know if people cut you off, you get to an accident.

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just nice to have that video record of everything

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that goes on, plus the audio as well, So you

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>get the audio of what's happening in your car, plus

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you get your speed and location. You can turn off

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 2>the speed on, hold on, let's uh, let's close this

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 2>so you can let me get back to where I was.

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>You can set the so it doesn't show you the

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 2>speedometer on your car if you want to do that,

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 2>but it also captures the sound in your car as well,

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>so you know what's going on. Now, the here's the deal.

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I did not like about the dashcam. And

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the dashcam is good, but it does not shoot the

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>front and the back at the same time. So I

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.919
<v Speaker 2>was rear ended a couple months ago, probably I don't know,

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 2>six months ago at this point, and it would have

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 2>been nice to have that back, you know, where I

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 2>could see what that car did behind me before they

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.679
<v Speaker 2>ran into me. You know, it would have just captured

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the front, which still would have been interesting to kind

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 2>of hear what transpired. You could hear me talking to

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the other person, but it would have been nice to

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>see what was going on behind me. So anyway, it's

0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.399
<v Speaker 2>just one of those things that's nice to have. So

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 2>long story short, the Vava cam. If you want to

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 2>look at it, here's the deal. You can go to

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the website and if you go down to the bottom.

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I talked to the company. Normally I don't do this,

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 2>but I was like, you know what, this thing sells

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.360
<v Speaker 2>for one hundred and thirty bucks. I think it would

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>be amazing under one hundred dollars. I said, if you

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.680
<v Speaker 2>can get it under one hundred bucks, I think we're

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 2>going to sell a billion of these things because it's

0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.159
<v Speaker 2>so good. Like people want one of these, but they

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>don't want to spend so much money. And next thing,

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, they got it for ninety five ninety nine.

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you go to Amazon search Vava dashcam and

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 2>use the code rich on tech. You can find this

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>all at ktla dot com slash tech, but that's what

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 2>you do, and you can order it through there.

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So wow, you guys already. Dedra says, she already got

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>hers delivered today.

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:54.719
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. She used the code yesterday, that's awesome. Yeah,

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Grace says, I love the dash cam. Wish I could

0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.120
<v Speaker 2>have used it when a woman backed into my car.

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 2>There you go, so you have it there as well.

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>It also keeps a record of all the places that

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 2>you drive, so I really like that as well. Here's

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the other thing, so I wanted to make sure that

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the Vava cam was a good deal, so I actually checked.

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>There's this website called Camel Camel Camel and you can

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.479
<v Speaker 2>check to see kind of like what the prices are

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 2>on Amazon. And this was the cheapest price, or is

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the cheapest price in at least ninety days, since it

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>only launched on de Summer sixth, and the cheapest price

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 2>it was before that was one hundred and nineteen dollars.

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So I really love this dash cam. I think it's

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>really cool.

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.479
<v Speaker 2>It's got some other features that I haven't even talked about,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 2>which include there is a snapshot, so you can actually

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 2>there's this little button that you put on your somewhere

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 2>on your dashboard, and it's like a little bluetooth. It

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 2>looks like a little circle like this. You just press

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 2>that and next thing you know, it takes a snapshot too.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 2>You can take a snapshot of you. You know, you'd

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 2>swivel it around and take a picture of your friends

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.239
<v Speaker 2>in your car while you're stopped of course, or you know,

0:20:58.280 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 2>you can have it aimed at you and you can

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 2>take a void so you can just do, you know,

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 2>like whatever you want. There's so many little things you

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 2>can do. If you want to be a YouTube star.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 2>You can solve it around and do some carpool karaoke.

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Now, I will tell you I don't think you should

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>do that because I.

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't think anyone should be singing with their friends while

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 2>they drive, because that's very dangerous. So I don't know

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.840
<v Speaker 2>how James Corden does it, but it seems very every

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>time I watch that show, I'm.

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Like, please be careful, please be careful.

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, I know, on like normal shows like if they're

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.479
<v Speaker 2>driving in a car. The car is being pulled by

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.120
<v Speaker 2>a trailer, so they're fine. But I think in carpool

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 2>karaoke he's actually driving while they sing, which just seems

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 2>absolutely insane to me.

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:45.720
<v Speaker 1>So let's see Peter says he's ordering it. Now, there

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you go, all right, So there's the Vava camp. You

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>guys love that story, so man I was.

0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I was very impressed with a Vava cam with that.

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Full lines open three one zero five, nine four three

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>zero zero three three one zero five to nine four.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 5>Three zero zero three.

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, there's some I print all these things I

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 2>want to talk to you guys about, and let's see.

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was interesting. So Amazon is.

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Going to start delivering from Whole Foods, so or I

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 2>guess they already started today. So if you're an Amazon

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Prime member, you can get free two hour delivery on

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 2>orders over thirty five dollars from Whole Foods. And unfortunately,

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>it's only in four neighborhoods, which is Austin, Cincinnati, Dallas,

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and Virginia Beach. So I don't know how they pick

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 2>those neighborhoods. But if you live in one of those neighborhoods,

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 2>you're very lucky. So why is this interesting Because you

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>might be thinking, well, big deal, I already have Amazon Fresh.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>They've been delivering groceries forever. Well, this is included in

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Prime. Amazon Fresh is not included. That's an extra

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>fifteen dollars a month.

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>This is free two hour delivery of groceries over thirty

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 1>five dollars if you put in order with your Prime membership.

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 2>So that means you're not paying anything extra for that membership. So, hey, Siri,

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 2>what do you think of Whole Foods?

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.680
<v Speaker 4>I think therefore I am Oh, let's not put to

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 4>cart before divorce.

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Siri is my like sidekick on this show.

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that Siri is uh is gonna be uh,

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>She's just gonna be here forever because I can just

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>ask her questions. Oh, all these people asking about the discount.

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.159
<v Speaker 2>were asking I mentioned that book I was reading the

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 2>other day called Crush It.

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:13.800
<v Speaker 1>A lot of you asked, you emailed me, Hey, what

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>was the name of that book? Well, guess what. See

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>what it says looking for a link to something I mentioned,

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Check here and guess what. There it is. There's the link.

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Here's the book I bought. So sometimes you have to

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of just look a little bit, but you will

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:26.600
<v Speaker 1>find it.

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 2>And there's the book Crushing It, which by the way,

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 2>is fantastic. So okay, so you have that, and then

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 2>you go back to the homepage and here's the dash

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>cam story. So I click there and about a bing

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:43.360
<v Speaker 2>about a boom. Here we go scroll down and the

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>code is right here at the bottom of the page.

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So there's the code. So there's the code.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 2>So you can actually click here you've got the Amazon

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>click and then use the code, add it to your

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 2>shopping cart, and then you can add it at the

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 2>code at checkout rich on tech which will take a

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of money off one it's normally one thirty and

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 2>it will come down to ninety six or ninety seven dollars.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.159
<v Speaker 2>So there you go, rich on tech dot TV. And

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the other thing I meant to mention about the dashcan

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>that I like is that it does have a battery inside,

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.679
<v Speaker 2>so even when your car is off, it's still active.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not recording, but if your car gets bumped, there

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>is a G sensor in there, so it will sense

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 2>that and it will trigger a recording.

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 1>So again, if someone hits your car and.

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.719
<v Speaker 2>Then speeds off, you'll be able to get their license

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 2>plate or something like that, or if they try to

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>get in your car, you know, they'd have to walk

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 2>past your car for you.

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>To see them.

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, that's the that's the deal with that.

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 1>So all right, phone.

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Lines open three one zero five nine four three zero

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 2>zero three. You have a tech question, go ahead and

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 2>call in. You can definitely call in and get right through.

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Right now, let's see what else we want to talk

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 2>about here Vava, We've got.

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Disney, We've got I g oh Apple watch. I thought

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>this was this was pretty good. Oh, you know what,

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.479
<v Speaker 1>let me do some while you guys are calling in.

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll do some. I'll do some of the comments here.

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Andreas said, I just got an Echo a few days ago.

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Now what lol, I think you'll be okay with the

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Echo this. Let this one kind of simmer for a

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:20.879
<v Speaker 2>little bit before you go ahead and order that. Philip says,

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the dash cam is perfect for Uber drivers. It is

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 2>perfect except for Uber drivers. I guess see, if I

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was an Uber driver, I'd want the front and the

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 2>back recorded at the same time. So I think in

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a future version of the Vava cam, they're gonna do

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>front and back and I would assume three sixty video

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.679
<v Speaker 2>at one point, because that would be the ideal. You

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 2>just capture the entire thing at the same time.

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 1>So there you go.

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, we got the code, we got that, We

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 2>got that.

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good. Please share this podcast so more people can

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 1>be enlightened. Yeah, please.

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, here's the thing. I you know, I do

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.880
<v Speaker 2>this for fun. I do this to answer your questions.

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:00.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's the reality of it is that if you

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>find out about it and you know about it, it's awesome.

0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I love it, Thank you so much. But I don't

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like sit there and advertise.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I barely mentioned this on KTLA ever, but I do

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.639
<v Speaker 2>do it, and I do like doing it because it

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 2>is fun.

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 1>So there you have it, and the phone numbers on

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the screen.

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the phone number is Go ahead and call in

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 2>three one zero five nine four three zero zero three.

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 1>That is my personal number. You will get through. So

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go.

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, this I thought was really cool. Apple Watch

0:27:26.560 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 2>can detect early signs of diabetes with eighty.

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Five percent accuracy.

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 2>So part of an ongoing study involving Apple Watch and

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Android users, researchers at app developer, Cardiogram and the University

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 2>of UCSF they basically trained a network called deep Heart

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>to figure out people with and without diabetes at an

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 2>eighty five percent accuracy just by looking at their stats

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>from Apple Watch. They looked at fourteen thousand users, and

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.119
<v Speaker 2>they looked at thirty three thousand weeks of health censored

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 2>data and basically they trained this artificial intelligence to kind

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>of figure out do these people have diabetes?

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>And I thought that that's.

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Pretty amazing because this is kind of the holy grail

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>of medicine, is that because we're wearing these smart devices

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that are always monitoring us, that we can kind of

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 2>tell things in advance of feeling really sick. So let's see,

0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:31.640
<v Speaker 2>they presented samples with and without diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea,

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:36.399
<v Speaker 2>atriol fibrillation, and high cholesterol. So they fed all this

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 2>information into a computer and the computer said, Okay, we

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 2>see these patterns developing, and now just by sensing the

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 2>person with their watch, we can figure out what's.

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Going on with them. I think that's amazing.

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you've heard the rumor from Apple, they are

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to develop a non invasive glucose sensor for the

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Apple Watch, which would be unbelievable because now I don't

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know anyone personally with diabetes, but

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people out there have it,

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and I know of the disease, and I understand that

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 2>you're testing yourself all the time. I mean I know

0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 2>someone actually, I do know someone that has it, and

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>he actually wears a sensor that is kind of embedded

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>in his body the whole time. This would mean you

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have to do any sort of blood test, which

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>is really amazing.

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's what Apple's working on. That's not here just yet.

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 2>But again they say the holy grail of modern medical

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 2>science would be a system that allows diabetics to continuously

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 2>monitor their sugar levels without performing blood draws, and that

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>would be unbelievable. So and I do think Apple will

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 2>accomplish that.

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I really do.

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I think Apple is really trying to put a lot

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>behind the Apple Watch. All Right, someone was brave at

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 2>to call in seven one four You're on with Rich? Hello, Hey,

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 2>who am I speaking with?

0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, just second here, I've got to turn on this speak.

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's a little it's a little complicated because

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's delayed as well. So it's kind of like the

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>old timey radio, you know, and you call and you'd

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 2>hear the person in the background. So let me know

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>when you're ready, seven to one four.

0:30:17.360 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, I've got my uh, I'm using my iPhone

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 3>and i've got it on speaker phone, but I can't

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 3>hear you on the phone.

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting. Hmm, I wonder why.

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you have to wait to hear me through the

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 2>through the Facebook Live, which is super delayed, right.

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 3>I think so?

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, interesting, all right, well we'll try to power

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 1>through it. What's your question?

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, now I can hear you.

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, here we go.

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I think I see the home pod next year. It's

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 3>a little bit bigger than I expected. I got a

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 3>notice that it's on the UPS truck for tomorrow for delivery.

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 3>How do you like it so far?

0:30:58.280 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think it's it's probably one of the

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 2>best sounding speakers that I've listened to. So I think

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I think you're gonna be very happy with the audio quality.

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you a Are you an Apple Music subscriber already

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 2>or are you planning on signing up? Yes?

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes I am.

0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So, I mean, if you're an Apple Music subscriber,

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean you could just literally talk to it, say

0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can call out a playlist, you can

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 2>call it a genre, a specific song. You can just

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 2>say play me some music and it will play. And

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 2>the audio quality is unbelievable, gets super loud. It's small,

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.040
<v Speaker 2>but Apple has done so many great things with tuning

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this and making it work in any room. So it's

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 2>got three hundred and sixty degree sound. And from what

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I heard yesterday when I had it compared against these

0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 2>other smart speakers, the only one that came close was

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:48.719
<v Speaker 2>the one from Google, which is four hundred dollars by

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the way, So it's not like it's it's cheaper than this.

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 2>So now if you put it together, you know, next

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to Sonos, which I really love.

0:31:57.840 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I was very impressed with the It sounded better than Sono's,

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 2>which to me has always been the gold standard.

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 1>So what feature are you looking forward to me?

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:11.760
<v Speaker 3>I am the owned a a speaker, you know, a

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:16.000
<v Speaker 3>device where you can talk to it. Yeah, I've got iPad,

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 3>iPhones and all that stuff, but I have yet to

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 3>uh to get one of these. And it looks pretty good.

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I like, I ordered the white one. I like things white,

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 3>not black.

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So well, now you said you said it looks bigger

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>than you think. I mean it's it might be because

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>it's closer to the camera if I hold it back.

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's about how big it is. So it's

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 2>not it's it is heavy, though, I will tell you

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 2>it's got some weight on it.

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the what the weight is, but

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a heavy speaker.

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's got this great mesh design that it's just

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it feels great.

0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Not that you really want to push.

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It in because it is a mesh. It could be

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:54.479
<v Speaker 2>damaged that way, I think, But it's just it's very

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 2>minimalistic looking. It will fit into your you know, your house.

0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>That kind of blends into the background. But it's also

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of a statement because it is so well designed.

0:33:02.560 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 2>And you do have the touch controls on the top too,

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 2>so if you want to start playing something, you can

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 2>just tap I believe, let's see, Yeah, you can just

0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 2>tap once, and you also have the volume up and down.

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Can you also plug in a radio or something to

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 3>the speaker in the back or.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>No, you can't plug anything into the back. In fact,

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I was actually surprised that the cable does not plug in,

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 2>even like the power cable does not come out. It's

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 2>just built in there, which is kind of odd for

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 2>a speaker these days. Yeah, but yeah, so you can't

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 2>plug anything into the back. There is no external input whatsoever.

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 2>The only way you can get an external audio source

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 2>into it is by using airplay off your iPhone now

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. I have to look and see if

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 2>you can use Bluetooth, but I I know for sure

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you can use airplay. But here's the thing, this is

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>this is first day. You know, it comes out tomorrow.

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Apple probably just wanted to get it out there. I

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 2>have a feeling that they probably would not mind other

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>music services being on there in the future, so we'll see.

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:13.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, now, is this is there firmware that can be

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 3>upgraded over the air or is it?

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So yeah, no, no, it's all it's all software.

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 2>So in fact, we had an earlier caller ask if

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:24.319
<v Speaker 2>you can pair them up with stereo, and that's one

0:34:24.360 --> 0:34:27.279
<v Speaker 2>of the features that's coming later on, so you will

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 2>be able to pair it up with stereo.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 1>And you'll be able to do that too.

0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, yeah, this is definitely one of those

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 2>things where it's kind of iPhone, you know, you get

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 2>new features every once in a while and you're just

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 2>like pleasantly surprised, like, oh, it couldn't do this yesterday,

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 2>but now it can do this, And that's exactly what

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do with home Pod as well. So

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to find when you get something out, Yeah,

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:48.359
<v Speaker 2>when when you held it.

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Back, I can see the side and you know, the

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 3>real size of it there to where it's more of

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 3>a manageable size, right, and your your camera makes it

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:00.720
<v Speaker 3>look like a monster.

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, no, no, we just had it. We just

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>had it up close because it's got to be on

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the desk here. But no, no, it's yeah, it's not that.

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:08.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, it does look like a monster up there.

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:10.480
<v Speaker 2>You're right now, this is if I hold it back here,

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:12.720
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely it's not a monster.

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a good size speaker. It looks really nice.

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.399
<v Speaker 1>So here's the two features that are coming later this year.

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Stereo pair, so if you put two home pods in

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the same room, they automatically balance each other to become stereo.

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And then let's see Airplay two, which is basically going

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 2>to allow you to play the same music in various rooms.

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 1>If you get a bunch of these in.

0:35:35.560 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Different rooms, you can have multi room audio, which right now,

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what Sono's kind of pioneered. You can accomplish that

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 2>now with the Echo and also with the Google devices.

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 2>But now you'll be able to do it with this

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 2>later on in the year with a software update.

0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's good. Yeah. Well I'm gonna have to buy

0:35:53.040 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of ticket to get more than one.

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say that that's where this gets expensive.

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm sort of giving myself this my birthday in May. First.

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 3>We're going to use it before then, but this is

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 3>my birthday present and myself, so it's you know, it's

0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty expensive.

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it is.

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:15.879
<v Speaker 2>It is a premium purchase, but I think you'll be happy. Yeah.

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:20.360
<v Speaker 3>I like Apple products, so that's good. I watch YouTube

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 3>all the time for the latest Apple stuff and looking

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 3>at the new iPads coming this year and everything, and

0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, they look pretty good. Oh, they looked pretty nice.

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I deal with a lot of these companies, Apple, Amazon, Google,

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and I will say that Apple definitely has.

0:36:37.080 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 1>They have it together, you know what I mean.

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Not that the other companies don't, but Apple is very,

0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 2>very on top of things, and they've had their stumbles

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 2>in recent years, but they they overall, when you get

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a product from.

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Them, you know that it's been vetted. You know that

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:52.640
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, they have done their homework on things.

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>They've thought of a lot of stuff, and they have

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 2>a theory behind why they do things the way they

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 2>do it, so I think HomePod is no different.

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 3>So all right, okay, well thanks for your time that

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it.

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey, thanks for calling in. I appreciate it. And have

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a happy birthday and enjoy the new home pod. All right,

0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>there you go. What are the dimensions?

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Since you don't put your hand by it, you know,

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't let me see if I have the dimensions.

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I have them right here. Let's see here technical specs.

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:24.959
<v Speaker 2>So it is six point eight inches high, five point

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 2>six inches wide, and it weighs five point five pounds,

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and it comes in white and space gray. And again

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 2>you've got touch and hold for serious. You can just

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:37.640
<v Speaker 2>touch and hold here.

0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:41.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the weather like in Cabo?

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:47.320
<v Speaker 4>It's currently cloudy and seventy eight degrees in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Spect mostly cloudy sky starting in the afternoon. Temperatures are

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 4>heading down from eighty degrees this afternoon to seventy three tonight.

0:37:56.160 --> 0:37:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Wow, she's awfully specific with the weather. You get a

0:37:58.440 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff there.

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 1>What else here? Audio formats Wi Fi? So yeah, setup

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:04.680
<v Speaker 1>is pretty easy as well.

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:06.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, if you want to call in three one

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 2>zero five nine four three zero zero three three one

0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:16.320
<v Speaker 2>zero five nine four three zero zero three. Mama's Gorhero says,

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 2>how much rich? Three hundred and fifty dollars for the HomePod.

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 2>So three hundred and fifty big ones for the HomePod.

0:38:22.760 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 1>So all right, let's see.

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Do I have anything else I want to talk to

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you guys about before I go here? Oh wow, it's

0:38:30.480 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 2>already two o'clock. Well we're already going over time. All right,

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.239
<v Speaker 2>one more thing. I'll just talk about Twitter real quick

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:40.399
<v Speaker 2>before we go. So, you know, Twitter posted its first

0:38:40.440 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 2>profit this week, which is pretty impressive because everyone said that,

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, like Twitter is not one of those things.

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like, you don't think of Twitter as like a

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.440
<v Speaker 2>big business. It has changed the way we communicate. But

0:38:50.520 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 2>it's not like, oh my gosh, it's not Facebook. It's

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 2>not like this giant, you know, kind of moving force

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:59.480
<v Speaker 2>like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. It's just kind of there, you know,

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like a utility almost. But anyway, the good news

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>is the two hundred and eighty character tweets.

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, they expanded it. They've doubled how many characters

0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:09.719
<v Speaker 1>you can use. Has actually worked.

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>So Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says, people have the room

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:17.479
<v Speaker 2>and we're seeing less abandonment of tweets, but we're seeing

0:39:17.480 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot more engagement as well, more retweets and more mentions, and.

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's a good thing.

0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 2>So I guess they're saying that because you can talk

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>longer in these tweets, people are actually taking the time

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 2>to craft tweets.

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm guilty of that myself.

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I would start a tweet and I can't fit it,

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.440
<v Speaker 2>or I can't you know, I got to sit there

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and like get rid of some words to make it

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:40.520
<v Speaker 2>all fit, and I'm just like, you know what, nevermind,

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and I'll just close out the app. So the two

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty characters has definitely given me some breathing

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 2>room on there, and I feel like a lot of

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 2>other people so that was a good thing. Hasn't changed

0:39:49.160 --> 0:39:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the fabric of Twitter. I don't feel like it's very

0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:53.720
<v Speaker 2>different than it was, but I think that that's probably

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a good thing that they change that.

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>So all right, that's going to do it for today's show.

0:39:57.840 --> 0:39:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for joining me, Thanks so much for

0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:00.480
