1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: To go on to the App store, I get a

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: new app.

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 3: And while I was on there, there were just thousands

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 3: and thousands and thousands of apps now, right, for all

7
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: kinds of stuff. And I noticed an article the other

8
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 3: day said there are now three and a half million apps.

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: That's just on the Apple story alone, right, three and

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: a half million different apps.

11
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: Obviously some of them are kind of like another one,

12
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: aren't they, Because when you look for one, there's all

13
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 3: those strange ones that kind of a word it's slightly

14
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: like it, but obviously for copyright rules, there's just enough

15
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 3: of a difference in the font and I know at

16
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 3: the end, like the SCRIPTO, we can get kind of

17
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: edge it.

18
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about how many apps have got my.

19
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: Phone, most of which I don't use, but then ones

20
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: that I thought, I wonder if anyone else has got

21
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: one of these?

22
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 1: Have you got apps that you think no one else

23
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: will even know? This is a thing? Definitely?

24
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: I got a new one from the weekend. I want

25
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: to tell you about.

26
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what have you got?

27
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: It's we've got mushrooms growing in the backyard in the

28
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 4: grass and I wanted to identify them. So I've got

29
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: this great app called Seek by Eye Naturalist, And what

30
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: you do is you take photo of your mushroom or

31
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: any plant or animal and it'll tell you what it is.

32
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: So what's in our backyard the green skinhead mushroom, and

33
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 4: then it will keep everything you find, like plants and

34
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: animals in your observation. So so far I've got two observations.

35
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 4: One is the green skinhead mushroom. The other is domestic

36
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: dog because I took a tot of a lunar. But

37
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 4: imagine all the wildlife I'll collect over the next.

38
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just a sort of bit alongside the Hall

39
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: of fame of the moment with your dog and some

40
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 3: manky old mushrooms in the backyard. There, I've got a

41
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: you've got a plant based on in one. I have

42
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: a bird spot in one that's like Shazam for bird noises.

43
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: Merlin, Yes, we've got merle Yes so good.

44
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: I love it because often about amount in a walk,

45
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: and I want to know someone who was a young

46
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: bird spot was a kid.

47
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: I want to know what the bird is.

48
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: And so I've downloaded the regions for this area. How

49
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: various regions you can download, so I've got the one

50
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: for this area Victoria and or you just just hold

51
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: it up. Actually ess usually is Chazam for bird noises.

52
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone else would know about this.

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: And the other cool thing about Merlin is you can

54
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: play bird sounds that are already in the app and

55
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: it's meant to attract the birds over to you, because

56
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: they'll think your phone is a bird.

57
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: So often while you'll see me walking along Hampton like

58
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: the pine piper of birds, various burds of Australia.

59
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, people go, god, that guy is so powerful.

60
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: How does he get him to flock onto his shoulders

61
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: out a.

62
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Hawk on each shoulder. The other one I've got as well.

63
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Whenever I go into a wine shop that people in

64
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: there must just go good, here he is. I've gone

65
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: app where you take a photo of the bottle of

66
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: wine you're interested in, and it tells you that all

67
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: the world's wine review is what they've made.

68
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: Oh that's good.

69
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, whether it's a ten, but bottle one or twenty

70
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: one whatever on that. But it doesn't mean you know,

71
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: you're wandering around it and go let's get upload and people.

72
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: But you know when someone goes. But they asked you once,

73
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: do you need anyhow? I've got my app, the world's

74
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: database of knowledge.

75
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: You are redundant.

76
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: Yes, I will decide for me. Stand aside my little man, right,

77
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: and then you're in there, solon they come back to go.

78
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: Are you sure?

79
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is can you get out? You're just

80
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: irritating us with this sad little app.

81
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Just have the bottle you want, okay for free?

82
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: Have you got an app on your phone then that

83
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: you think people won't even know is available? That isn't

84
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: even a thing, Pats, you've got any on yours? What

85
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: have you got on your phone?

86
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Pats?

87
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: I sound really dull compared to you too. I'm very basic.

88
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: I've got mumsy things like you know, my Mayle one

89
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: card when I go to Maya so I can get

90
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: my little freebie rewards all that sort of stuff. But

91
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: nothing as exciting as Oh yeah.

92
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what's more exciting than Jack's got a mushrooms

93
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: but one. I've got a berd spy one. Yeah, we're

94
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,600

Speaker 1: and Jackie. Are we don't even lie detector. I've got

96
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Shazam for birds.

97
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: This is the Christian o'connells show podcast. All our phones

98
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: these days of Sony apps, even got TV screens now

99
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: have apps of various things. I want to know about

100
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: the news. Your app that you've got on your phone

101
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: somebody else yesterday. I've still got my bird spotting.

102
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: One on there.

103
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: I can take a photo of a bird or just

104
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: record it's bird call or noise. And Merlin is the app.

105
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Couple of you've asked what it is. Merlin is the

106
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: app that can know. It's basically like Shazam, the app

107
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: for just holding your phone out to a song and

108
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: it will let you know what the song is.

109
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: Just does it for bird calls. I don't know how

110
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: many of you interested in that, but I kind of

111
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: like it. It's cool.

112
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: And then you collect your birds as well, so you

113
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: can go back through and go I remember the time

114
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: I saw the Black Cocker.

115
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: Too, the other one that I would recommend if you

116
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: have you got any wordplay apps in it. I had

117
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 3: to take off Words with friends because it was getting

118
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: in there. I would never get any work done.

119
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: No, I only need chess. That's the only game I

120
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: need on my phone.

121
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Oh wait, you need to download Boggle. You love wordplay games.

122
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: You like Bogle.

123
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Boggle's good, isn't it? Do you know Bogle?

124
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: Can you play people online?

125
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

126
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: You can do Boggle with friends. Oh, I might take

127
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: on some listeners user name on there. All right, let's

128
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: find out what apps you've got then test?

129
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning Christian. The app I have is

130
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 5: called Talk to your Deaf Grandmother?

131
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Okay? And what is it? Like a cyber nan or?

132
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: So you talk? You talk into it because you're hard

133
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: of hearing obviously, so you talk into the phone and

134
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: it converts it into text. But the issue with with

135
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: my nanneries she's also nearly blind, and she refuses to

136
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: wear her hearing aids or her glasses.

137
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: I don't care about age, so they I don't want

138
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: I won't even have help. I don't want to make

139
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 3: life easier for anyone around me.

140
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Just yet. At me, l you smoke signals you'll get

141
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the hell out of my life. So what does this

142
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: app do?

143
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: You?

144
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: You basically yell in the phone. It feels like to me.

145
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 5: Hello nan no, no, no, yeah. You talk at a

146
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: normal level into the phone, and it converts what you've

147
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: said into text.

148
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: And then you well like it like font ninety two,

149
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: It's just one letter at a time.

150
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: It's a very slow conversation with naneris it.

151
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 5: Well we've given up. We either just yell or.

152
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: That, so I'd end up I reckon about five years time.

153
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: All right, Test, thank you very much. You cool looking

154

Speaker 6: Thanks? I've got an interesting app on my phone called

192
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 6: the Anti Chia Simulation and it's an ancient scientific calculator

193
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: built around one hundred and fifty BC saying at the

194
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: bottom of the ocean. So researchers don't really know how

195
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 6: it works, but they've got a simulation and then they've

196
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 6: made an app of the simulation.

197
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Now this is great.

198
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,480

00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: Enigma machine that they don't know, they don't.

205
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 6: Really know one hundred percent how it works because they've

206
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 6: never got it going because it's all seized up. But

00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: this going and the world changes like dinosaur DNA in

211
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: Amber starts glowing because they get the old anti camera

212
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: machine going.

213
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: Absolutely So, what do you do on the.

214
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,480

Speaker 6: the planets are? They think it might have been used

221
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 6: for astronomical research and that sort of stuff back in

222
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 6: the days before.
