- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 0:04Speaker 1: six forty.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Thanks KFI AM six forty. Don't handle here.
- 0:08Speaker 3: On a Tuesday morning, January thirteenth, it is time for
- 0:13Speaker 3: our tech segment with our tech reporter Rich Demurow. Rich
- 0:17Speaker 3: has heard right here Saturdays from eleven am to two pm.
- 0:20Speaker 3: He's on KTLA every day his Instagram address at rich
- 0:24Speaker 3: on tech website, richon tech dot tv with tons and
- 0:29Speaker 3: tons of information.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Rich, good morning, Good morning to you.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Bill.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Okay, well you got me and there was no way
- 0:38Speaker 3: I was not gonna go on this one.
- 0:40Speaker 2: All right. There is a viral app in China called
- 0:44Speaker 2: are You Dead? Now? This is not their version of
- 0:48Speaker 2: spam a lot Are You Dead yet? No? Are you Dead?
- 0:52Speaker 3: And it's making on callings of waves and yeah, that
- 0:57Speaker 3: got me going. So you want to explain that.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's definitely a recognizable name, a memorable name,
- 1:05Speaker 1: a name you can't ignore, and it's one of the
- 1:08Speaker 1: top paid apps in China right now. Yes, it's called
- 1:11Speaker 1: are You Dead. Here's how it works. If you live alone,
- 1:15Speaker 1: you basically tap a check in button every single day.
- 1:18Speaker 1: If you don't check in for two days in a row,
- 1:20Speaker 1: the app will automatically alert an emergency contact of your choosing.
- 1:25Speaker 1: So the idea here is for the elderly, and not
- 1:28Speaker 1: just the elderly, but apparently young people live alone more
- 1:32Speaker 1: and more in China, like this loneliness epidemic apparently is
- 1:36Speaker 1: a big deal over there too, and so they check
- 1:40Speaker 1: in with someone that can say, oh, you're still alive.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And that's basically it for the app. But I will
- 1:46Speaker 1: tell you this bill at the end of the day.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The Financial Times interviewed the creators. They said the present
- 1:53Speaker 1: name was not intended to be bad, but to serve
- 1:56Speaker 1: as a reminder for us to cherish the present, which
- 1:59Speaker 1: I thought was quite an you're saying.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Yeah, you really got me going.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I was very excited there for a moment with this app,
- 2:06Speaker 3: but I guess it does make sense. It basically is
- 2:09Speaker 3: a wellness search, just so well, it's a you know,
- 2:12Speaker 3: anybody coming in for a wellness check and are you dead?
- 2:17Speaker 3: It's sort of like I'm falling and I can't get up,
- 2:21Speaker 3: but seriously, I can't get.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Up because yeah, you can't get up enough because you're dead.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Yeah you can pretty much.
- 2:28Speaker 1: You can download this in the US, by the way,
- 2:32Speaker 1: and The funny thing is it's almost like my last name.
- 2:34Speaker 1: It's translated in the US to d mum. You d
- 2:40Speaker 1: e m u m u. It's ninety nine cents. So
- 2:42Speaker 1: if you want this in America, you can get it.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Let me d e m u m u.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask something. It's as you said, it's
- 2:52Speaker 2: almost like a wellness check. You do.
- 2:54Speaker 3: You have to check in with this thing to let
- 2:56Speaker 3: them know you are alive every hour every day or
- 3:00Speaker 3: is it figure out that you're sort of dead.
- 3:04Speaker 1: No, it's it's uh no, you do have to check in,
- 3:07Speaker 1: so every day you have to tap it. If you
- 3:09Speaker 1: look at the app, it literally just looks like one
- 3:12Speaker 1: big button and it says check in today, And so
- 3:15Speaker 1: you would just the idea is you would get up,
- 3:18Speaker 1: tap the app, and your what your you know, loved
- 3:20Speaker 1: ones would not get an alert that you are dead.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I mean really, it's a welfare check, you know, Like
- 3:26Speaker 1: I understand how check in?
- 3:27Speaker 2: Yeah, but how many people?
- 3:28Speaker 3: I misplaced my phone for days at a time sometimes, uh,
- 3:32Speaker 3: and I'm looking really, yeah, I have.
- 3:35Speaker 2: I miss placed.
- 3:35Speaker 3: I misplace my phone all the time, and I find
- 3:37Speaker 3: it in weird places, even with fine mine because my
- 3:42Speaker 3: you know, wife, I have call my phone and I
- 3:45Speaker 3: try to figure yeah, so I uh, I would be
- 3:48Speaker 3: so dead so many times. But actually it sounds pretty good.
- 3:52Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea.
- 3:54Speaker 2: And how's it. I'm assuming it's doing well because it
- 3:58Speaker 2: is clever.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It's the top paid app in China right now. I
- 4:03Speaker 1: mean that's pretty good. And it's like, I mean, here
- 4:06Speaker 1: in the US it's ninety nine cents. I think it's yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 1: probably about the same over there. But I actually think
- 4:12Speaker 1: this is a there's a better idea here. You know,
- 4:15Speaker 1: we all have these wearables. I'm no joke, Bill, I
- 4:18Speaker 1: am wearing three wearables as we speak. I mean, this
- 4:22Speaker 1: is insane, but I test this stuff for a living.
- 4:24Speaker 1: But I mean, I've got this smart ring, I've got
- 4:26Speaker 1: a smart watch, and this new smart Ai wearable. Here's
- 4:30Speaker 1: the thing. It would not be a stretch, and I
- 4:32Speaker 1: know this would be a privacy issue, but it would
- 4:35Speaker 1: not be such a stretch where you can just program
- 4:37Speaker 1: your smart watch or your smart ring. Of course, it
- 4:41Speaker 1: knows you're alive, right to text someone on a daily basis,
- 4:45Speaker 1: or to text someone when you're not alive if you
- 4:47Speaker 1: stop moving. And by the way, there actually is on
- 4:50Speaker 1: this pixel watch. I'm wearing a feature called loss of
- 4:55Speaker 1: pulse detection, and this was just approved in the US.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It was approved over in Europe first, then it was
- 5:00Speaker 1: approved here. But basically, it's a sensor on this watch
- 5:04Speaker 1: that if your pulse stops, it will call for help.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Calls now, so it'll call what nine to one one?
- 5:12Speaker 3: Let's you okay? That's actually yeah, We're we're moving in
- 5:15Speaker 3: that direction. I'm about to get one of those wearables
- 5:19Speaker 3: because I walk by myself and I could and my
- 5:23Speaker 3: neighbors all hate me. So if I, you know, took
- 5:25Speaker 3: a flyer and you know, hit the pavement, no and
- 5:28Speaker 3: would do anything about it.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So that makes a lot of sense.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Story we did this morning during the news is about
- 5:36Speaker 3: Apple and how it has not been at the forefront
- 5:41Speaker 3: of this AI business and it's moving into that direction
- 5:46Speaker 3: trying to catch up.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You want to share.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a huge announcement from Apple and kind
- 5:54Speaker 1: of unlikely that they would even do this, but we
- 5:57Speaker 1: know that Apple has last when it comes to AI
- 6:01Speaker 1: on the iPhone. They've got something called Apple Intelligence. About
- 6:04Speaker 1: two years ago they showed off all these new features
- 6:07Speaker 1: that were supposed to supercharge serri, make it smart, make
- 6:10Speaker 1: it understand your emails, your photos, your contacts, everything that
- 6:14Speaker 1: was stored on your phone, well that never happened. Meanwhile,
- 6:18Speaker 1: you've got Gemini from Google that is just really doing
- 6:22Speaker 1: an amazing job with AI across a lot of phone
- 6:25Speaker 1: especially Samsung's. Then you've got open Ai, which has just
- 6:29Speaker 1: done incredible work with AI. And meanwhile you have Apple,
- 6:33Speaker 1: one of the world's largest tech company. It's just sitting
- 6:36Speaker 1: there twiddling their thumbs. They tried to do it, they've
- 6:38Speaker 1: admitted defeat, and so now they're turning to Google's Gemini
- 6:44Speaker 1: to help them get Siri up and running with a
- 6:47Speaker 1: new version that's going to have many more AI features.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And I think this is a good thing because Apple
- 6:53Speaker 1: tried to do this themselves, they found that it was
- 6:55Speaker 1: very tough, and so basically they're going to take Google's
- 6:59Speaker 1: model Gemini. They're going to use it to put it
- 7:03Speaker 1: on your phone and get all of your information in
- 7:07Speaker 1: a private way, sliced and diced by this Gemini AI
- 7:11Speaker 1: so that you can tap into it. And I think
- 7:13Speaker 1: they're doing this in a very smart way.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Now is it a question of it's just too expensive
- 7:19Speaker 3: or it becomes too difficult for Apple to catch up,
- 7:22Speaker 3: or it just makes financial sense because of course everything
- 7:25Speaker 3: is based on finance. That is doing this, And how
- 7:29Speaker 3: do you compare it with Apple developing their own chip,
- 7:32Speaker 3: for example, which had to be astronomical money.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so good, good question. So a couple things here.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Number One, Apple has all the money in the world,
- 7:40Speaker 1: so it's not necessarily a money problem. But here's the thing.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Google has been working on AI, which was previously referred
- 7:48Speaker 1: to in many circles as machine learning, for decades, whereas
- 7:52Speaker 1: Apple not so much. So they had Siri, but Siria
- 7:56Speaker 1: was never truly smart. It never really learned, it never
- 7:59Speaker 1: really adapted, It wasn't really using AI to do anything.
- 8:02Speaker 1: And that's pretty much the only thing that Apple had
- 8:04Speaker 1: all these years. Now. When it comes to the chip,
- 8:07Speaker 1: Apple was planning for their own chip for decades. For many,
- 8:11Speaker 1: many years, they were deciding like, okay, one day, we're
- 8:14Speaker 1: going to jump off and we're going to make our
- 8:16Speaker 1: own chips for computers. So they had this runway where
- 8:19Speaker 1: when they started doing that, it just supercharged their business.
- 8:22Speaker 1: They never really had that base for AI, and so
- 8:25Speaker 1: when they started to try to build this thing that
- 8:27Speaker 1: open Ai had been working on for years in secret,
- 8:30Speaker 1: and Google had been working on for years, and they
- 8:32Speaker 1: had all the people in place and all the you know,
- 8:35Speaker 1: mechanics in place. They just could not compete. They found
- 8:38Speaker 1: that the more they did, the tougher it was to
- 8:40Speaker 1: do this. So I think that's where we stand. They've said,
- 8:44Speaker 1: you know what, and I don't think this precludes Apple
- 8:47Speaker 1: from ever doing their own thing. I think they may
- 8:50Speaker 1: start from now saying Okay, let's try to figure out
- 8:53Speaker 1: how to do our own thing in the future. But
- 8:54Speaker 1: right now they need Gemini to do what they can't do.
- 8:58Speaker 1: You know, it's been several years now that Apple's tried
- 9:00Speaker 1: to introduce this Siri stuff. It just hasn't happened. So
- 9:04Speaker 1: this is going to allow them to do that a
- 9:05Speaker 1: lot faster.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Hey, a question about my iPhone and Siri.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Literally fifty percent of the time when I say hey, Siri, uh,
- 9:15Speaker 3: it doesn't work well. For example, right now, the phone's
- 9:18Speaker 3: in front of me and I just said that and
- 9:20Speaker 3: nothing comes up and it's either.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Hard of hearing.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Isn't it supposed to sort of recognize my voice and
- 9:27Speaker 3: learn and you know, do a better job.
- 9:33Speaker 1: It should Now if your phone is flipped upside down,
- 9:35Speaker 1: if your if your screen is faced down, the hey
- 9:38Speaker 1: Siri functionality does not work.
- 9:40Speaker 2: So I understand, but it's not. Yeah, it's not.
- 9:43Speaker 3: I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it right now,
- 9:46Speaker 3: and half the time it doesn't work. Hey Siri, here
- 9:49Speaker 3: we go. Okay, who is rich demurrow?
- 9:54Speaker 1: Well it may it may not answer that.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Well here's the other thing.
- 9:57Speaker 2: And okay, hold on, I'm going to read this.
- 9:59Speaker 3: And I'm American journalists and reporter currently working as a
- 10:02Speaker 3: tech reporter for KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles. Also
- 10:06Speaker 3: appears on the KTLA five morning News. Doesn't say a
- 10:09Speaker 3: word about KFI.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Holy moly, Rich, you were arrested for that.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Oh no, Siri, look a look at the
- 10:19Speaker 1: time we got to go, oh my gosh.
- 10:23Speaker 3: But it really SI doesn't get everything right that it's
- 10:27Speaker 3: not a question of getting everything right. It just doesn't listen.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Half the time. I just can't get it. So I'm
- 10:33Speaker 3: assuming that Siri has not advanced, because it's been I've
- 10:36Speaker 3: had the same problem for a couple of years, and
- 10:38Speaker 3: it's over three phones. So and by the way, I'm
- 10:41Speaker 3: not just pointing that out. Are these just holes in
- 10:44Speaker 3: the program that have not really been filled yet.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Well, I think look, I do think that as Siri
- 10:52Speaker 1: has definitely not been the best assistant. I think when
- 10:56Speaker 1: it came out it was amazing. People loved it. It
- 10:59Speaker 1: did a lot of things, things like, uh, sending text messages,
- 11:02Speaker 1: interacting with certain apps. I just don't think it's expanded
- 11:04Speaker 1: in the way that we now have this natural language
- 11:09Speaker 1: interface with so many other gadgets. I mean, Alexa Plus
- 11:12Speaker 1: has gotten you know, Alexa got an upgrade. Google went
- 11:15Speaker 1: from Google Assistant to Gemini. You can talk to chatch
- 11:18Speaker 1: Ebt like you would a human. So I mean there's
- 11:21Speaker 1: just too much, too many other things that have gotten
- 11:24Speaker 1: better in the time that Siri has stayed the same,
- 11:26Speaker 1: and the whole hey Siri thing. You know, by the way,
- 11:28Speaker 1: you can now just say Siri if you want to
- 11:31Speaker 1: activate your phone. That process has not really changed in
- 11:35Speaker 1: recent years. You can always reset that, turn it off,
- 11:37Speaker 1: turn it back on. Maybe you'll get some better some
- 11:40Speaker 1: better uh luck with that. But I think that in general,
- 11:44Speaker 1: people have just gotten used to AI and all the
- 11:47Speaker 1: things that can do, and they're just turning to too
- 11:49Speaker 1: many other products and they're not considering anything on their
- 11:53Speaker 1: iPhone to be AI. Even though Apple has built in
- 11:55Speaker 1: this thing called Apple Intelligence, people don't even consider that AI.
- 11:59Speaker 1: It's Chatchy, it's Gemini. These are all proprietary eponyms at
- 12:03Speaker 1: this point for AI, that Apple is just not in
- 12:07Speaker 1: that world.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Now, I've noticed that Alexa works very well when I
- 12:12Speaker 3: talked to my device on my kitchen counter, you know,
- 12:15Speaker 3: for example, Alexa Louder. That was for everybody who's listening,
- 12:20Speaker 3: by the way, where they've just been blown out of
- 12:23Speaker 3: the water.
- 12:24Speaker 2: So just wanted to point that out, all right, Rich.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Oh you just wanted to do that, That's all you want.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You had no point there except just to say Alexa Louder.
- 12:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly correct. It was completely gratuitous, just to
- 12:37Speaker 3: be a dick. That's absolutely correct. Okay, Rich, We'll catch
- 12:42Speaker 3: you this weekend, and we'll catch you next week.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Take care.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks Bill.
- 12:47Speaker 3: Now, Stan Kronky, I'm gonna change gears for a moment here.
- 12:51Speaker 3: He is the billionaire owner of the La Rams and
- 12:56Speaker 3: he does a lot of He's a big fan of litigation,
- 12:59Speaker 3: and it's he started with him targeting billboards that his
- 13:02Speaker 3: lawyer said threatened the prosperity of his five and a
- 13:05Speaker 3: half billion dollar sports and entertainment complex, and that didn't
- 13:10Speaker 3: go his way in court, and so he's looking around
- 13:14Speaker 3: and they find another reason to sue the city of Inglewood,
- 13:17Speaker 3: where Sofi Stadium is housed, and his host to this
- 13:21Speaker 3: year's World Cup games and the Super Bowl in twenty
- 13:26Speaker 3: twenty seven and the twenty twenty eight Olympic events. And
- 13:29Speaker 3: so his companies are now claiming that the city stiffed
- 13:33Speaker 3: his company on almost four hundred million dollars that they
- 13:37Speaker 3: spent on public roads, that the company spent on public roads, sewers,
- 13:41Speaker 3: other infrastructure, police, fire protection, and so here goes the litigation.
- 13:49Speaker 3: Crunky's Crunkies companies say their project literally saved Englewood from bankruptcy.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Englewood is saying billionaires are not above the law. Cronkie
- 14:00Speaker 3: is worth almost twenty seven billion dollars developed Hollywood Park
- 14:04Speaker 3: to house so far that was a three hundred acre site.
- 14:09Speaker 3: He did it without public financing, but his lawyers are
- 14:13Speaker 3: arguing the city undercut his investment. It opened in twenty
- 14:17Speaker 3: twenty one, It has the stadium, it has the YouTube theater,
- 14:21Speaker 3: six thousand seats. Office retail, residential buildings. And it all
- 14:26Speaker 3: started with an approval of a contract in April where
- 14:31Speaker 3: Wow Wow Media was going to install sixty digital billboards
- 14:37Speaker 3: around his area and facility and it would share revenues.
- 14:43Speaker 2: With the city.
- 14:46Speaker 3: Well, Cronky's company said, no, the deal violates our twenty
- 14:50Speaker 3: fifteen development agreement that prohibits billboards near so far, and
- 14:56Speaker 3: it diverts money away from Cronky's investment. And because it
- 15:00Speaker 3: takes advantage of traffic that is going to his venues,
- 15:04Speaker 3: and billboards are based on how much traffic goes past them,
- 15:09Speaker 3: and so they said the signage would undercut exclusive sponsorships
- 15:14Speaker 3: and ambush marketing around some of these huge sporting events. Well,
- 15:19Speaker 3: the judge redicted that one and said the development agreement
- 15:23Speaker 3: with the city is invalid because it was improperly enacted. Okay,
- 15:28Speaker 3: it keeps on going. The Mayor of Englewood, we have
- 15:32Speaker 3: every right to use public land for what we want
- 15:34Speaker 3: to do. I don't see any legal arguments that would
- 15:37Speaker 3: give them control over what we do with city lands.
- 15:41Speaker 3: And so in another chapter on this one, in another avenue,
- 15:46Speaker 3: Cronkey's companies are arguing the city still has to reimburse
- 15:49Speaker 3: them for the three hundred and seventy six million dollars
- 15:52Speaker 3: in public improvements that he paid for, and the city
- 15:58Speaker 3: is not reimbursing him, and it just keeps on going
- 16:02Speaker 3: and going and going. Now, what gets really interesting about
- 16:07Speaker 3: this guy, Kronki actually has a history of playing hardball
- 16:12Speaker 3: with his teams and the cities. If you remember, he
- 16:17Speaker 3: moved the Rams from Saint Louis to La in twenty sixteen,
- 16:22Speaker 3: and that prompted years of litigation and ended up with
- 16:27Speaker 3: a seven hundred and ninety million dollar settlement that Kronkie
- 16:30Speaker 3: paid to the city of Saint Louis.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Those are big numbers.
- 16:36Speaker 3: You remember, La LA had the Rams for a rezillion years,
- 16:42Speaker 3: then the Rams moved to Saint Louis. Then Saint Louis
- 16:45Speaker 3: moved back to the Rams. The Baltimore Colts sort of
- 16:51Speaker 3: disappeared from Baltimore.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Overnight. They just left. People do that.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Owners of these these teams just tend to up and
- 17:03Speaker 3: move their teams. Okay, we're done, guys with that now. Now, memorabilia,
- 17:10Speaker 3: the amount of money that people spend on this stuff
- 17:15Speaker 3: is just insane. Now, I'm a big fan of history
- 17:19Speaker 3: and the idea of having a signature or a sign
- 17:23Speaker 3: photo of the Wright brothers, for example, to me, is
- 17:26Speaker 3: just the end all be all. I don't understand sports
- 17:30Speaker 3: memorabilia except maybe a signed Babe Ruth ball or one
- 17:35Speaker 3: of the original Honus Watt Wagner baseball cards back before
- 17:40Speaker 3: the turn of the last century. It's just I don't
- 17:44Speaker 3: understand it well. And Disney, of course crazy memorabilia. Well,
- 17:50Speaker 3: coming up, there's an auction and big money is being
- 17:55Speaker 3: paid for this auction. This is Apple memorabilia, specifically Steve
- 17:59Speaker 3: Jobs memorabilia. There is a check, a signed five hundred
- 18:05Speaker 3: dollars check, signed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, and
- 18:09Speaker 3: it was written a few weeks before the creation of Apple.
- 18:16Speaker 3: It was on behalf of Apple, signed five hundred dollars
- 18:20Speaker 3: check and they figure that check is going to go
- 18:23Speaker 3: for five hundred thousand dollars on an auction that's ending
- 18:28Speaker 3: the twenty ninth of this month, and it includes the
- 18:32Speaker 3: early items of Apple, childhood belongings of Jobs. He died
- 18:37Speaker 3: in twenty eleven, as you know, age of fifty six,
- 18:39Speaker 3: battling pancreatic cancer. And people have been buying laptops, smartphones, headphones,
- 18:49Speaker 3: smart washes. What do you think it original mac costs,
- 18:54Speaker 3: just especially if I don't know if anybody has it
- 18:56Speaker 3: in the original packaging. I mean, can you imagine what
- 18:59Speaker 3: that would cost? And so this is one of those things,
- 19:04Speaker 3: and I mean, we're going crazy on this.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Now. That check is worth so much.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Money because Jobs didn't sign autographs, so owning a document
- 19:15Speaker 3: with his name on it, now that is worth some money.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Other items up for auction include the account statement of
- 19:24Speaker 3: nineteen seventy six, the company's first financial document, also an
- 19:30Speaker 3: Apple one computer prototype board used to validate Apple's first computer.
- 19:35Speaker 2: I mean, this is real history.
- 19:38Speaker 3: With Apple, and the auction has all kinds of memorabilia,
- 19:42Speaker 3: vintage Apple posters, Apple rainbow classes.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Did you know that there was Apple rainbow glasses?
- 19:52Speaker 3: Letters, magazines, older computers, historic items and where did all
- 19:57Speaker 3: these came from?
- 19:58Speaker 2: Come from? Who collected all this?
- 20:00Speaker 3: Step brother had kept a collection for decades and now
- 20:05Speaker 3: it's up for auction.
- 20:09Speaker 2: There's a bedroom desk that was in his house.
- 20:13Speaker 3: And it was in a garage where the Apple one
- 20:17Speaker 3: computers were put together, because remember he started with Wosney
- 20:20Speaker 3: Neak and his parents' garage papers from years early years
- 20:26Speaker 3: are inside the desks so far forty four thousand dollars,
- 20:30Speaker 3: which doesn't seem to be a lot. Eight track tapes
- 20:34Speaker 3: that feature music from Bob Dylan, for example, is one
- 20:39Speaker 3: of his favorite musicians. A seventy seven poster featuring a
- 20:45Speaker 3: red apple that was in the family living room, and
- 20:47Speaker 3: that's over sixteen thousand dollars. Here's something else you probably
- 20:51Speaker 3: don't know, is we know he was wearing that black turtleneck.
- 20:55Speaker 3: He sort of created that look jeans and a black
- 20:57Speaker 3: turtleneck and sneak, which you know I own.
- 21:02Speaker 4: I have little pieces of memorabilia for people like Lincoln
- 21:06Speaker 4: and stuff like that. I own a piece of a
- 21:09Speaker 4: brick from Lincoln's home. I own a piece of turtleneck from.
- 21:15Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I did not have them in.
- 21:17Speaker 4: My shop to remind me of people that have done
- 21:20Speaker 4: great things.
- 21:20Speaker 2: That is cool. And by the way, bow ties. Did
- 21:23Speaker 2: you know that Steve Jobs used to wear bow ties?
- 21:27Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 21:28Speaker 3: He wore one when he introduced the Macintosh computer in
- 21:32Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. Nineteen eighty four, it sold for thirty
- 21:36Speaker 3: five million dollars. So there is an entire collection, probably
- 21:40Speaker 3: the biggest item of Steve Jobs and Apple's memorabilia comes
- 21:46Speaker 3: from when he was circumcised. Now you got to be
- 21:52Speaker 3: a little careful about that because there is a biological
- 21:58Speaker 3: aspect to that.
- 22:00Speaker 2: What freeze dried? Yes, yes, that works.
- 22:07Speaker 3: And then immediately I go into Moyl jokeston't I which
- 22:09Speaker 3: I'm not going to do. Okay, so much for that
- 22:13Speaker 3: should be interesting. And then the Disney stuff. You know
- 22:15Speaker 3: what an original Mickey mouse Watch is worth from the thirties,
- 22:20Speaker 3: I mean the real thing, and that's tens of thousands.
- 22:23Speaker 3: There's stuff from Disney that's millions of dollars. And then
- 22:26Speaker 3: the other sports memorabilia I don't get original air Jordan's
- 22:30Speaker 3: the guy still alive and those go for what two
- 22:34Speaker 3: and a half million dollars? I mean, yeah, that's pretty outrageous.
- 22:41Speaker 3: All right, guys, we are done. By the way, I
- 22:44Speaker 3: wasn't very serious about the circumcision of Steve Josh what.
- 22:49Speaker 3: I don't even know if he was circumcised. Anybody have
- 22:51Speaker 3: any idea if Steve John's a circumcise or not. You
- 22:56Speaker 3: want to look that up? Was you? And that's that's
- 22:58Speaker 3: worth researching. Amy shaking your head saying no, we're not
- 23:02Speaker 3: going to do that. Hey, this is the information we
- 23:04Speaker 3: get on this show and none other. We're done, guys,
- 23:09Speaker 3: Gary is Gary and Shannon? Or is Michael Monk still
- 23:12Speaker 3: with Shannon this week?
- 23:14Speaker 2: I believe Michael is in again today.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Okay, Michael Monks is in. Okay, the Monk Meister, you
- 23:21Speaker 3: got it? And he is in for Gary this week,
- 23:24Speaker 3: I'm assuming. And then we come back tomorrow morning. Neil
- 23:28Speaker 3: is back. Amy is certainly back.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Cono.
- 23:33Speaker 3: We're starting a GoFundMe campaign for his car because his
- 23:38Speaker 3: engine blew up and we need some help here.
- 23:42Speaker 2: And I'll jump in. I'll jump in, I will already
- 23:47Speaker 2: what just pay it already? Very uncomfortable to just close
- 23:50Speaker 2: out the show.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Thanks, Yeah, does that mean you're wait a secon Does
- 23:53Speaker 3: that mean you're not going to take the help from anybody?
- 23:57Speaker 2: I'll always take help, thank you asking?
- 24:00Speaker 3: Okay, and then will Cole Schreiber. So we're all back
- 24:03Speaker 3: again tomorrow. This is an Ann Let's not forget Ann
