• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Sunday night here eight to eleven, on seven to ten.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Wr From time to time I would mention that I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: use my Space. Oh, Natalie would have a belly laugh.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Larry would be on the floor laughing, and Rich, this
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: sarcastic kid had sarcasm dripping from his lips and making
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: me feel like a fool.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And now are you ready to apologize? Rich and cause
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Larry to bend on wounded knee along with Natalie, Because
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I've been right all this time, haven't I?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: What can I say? Kurtis? You were right? Yes, my
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Space maybe making a comeback, and you made all what
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: do you.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Mean launching it? Come on now, come on, Rich, you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: gotta go the whole nine yard.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Trying to throw you a bone here.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: But he can't.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: He can't lie, he can't lie.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I will believe this when I see it. Look, this
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: company has tried to relaunch no less than five times
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: in my short lifetime. But yeah, the current owners of MySpace,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: they've got a new documentary and in it they mentioned Hey,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you know, we would like to relaunch this, and I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: think that you know, it actually could work, because yes,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: if you go to MySpace right now, it's some sort
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: of like music website. But it used to be, like
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you said, the place where you would meet up with
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: your friends, you had your top eight, you would pick
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: your fase, all that good stuff, and it was a
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: time before algorithms. And I think that is really what
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: they would sort of play upon, is we are so
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: sick of the algorithm serving us up what it thinks
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: we should look at. And my Space would go the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: opposite direction and say, no, let's get you back to
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: your friends and back to what they're sharing, back to
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the anti Facebook, and let's see how it works.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Well more than that, how many had basically done rest
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in Peace on BlackBerry? Remember the BlackBerry? The Canadian company
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: led the way. Yeah, and all our elected officials used
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to like to do that, like Andrew evilized Como and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the rest, because it would wipe everything out in like
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: six months. You could never get it on the server.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It's still out there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Come on, Rich, stop being such a curmudgeon. Give me
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: my prop.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So you want your MySpace and your BlackBerry. What's next,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: What else do you want?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: The flip phones are coming back already, right, they're already
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: flip phones.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's all coming back. I'll give you that. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: think Curtis is already coming back.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to Nate, I don't want to be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in a cloud. I and Ryana Rihanna excuse me. Okay,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: she went back to a flip phone because she didn't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: want her stuff in a cloud. So I stand with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the Baijian from Barbados and coourtage fighting progress.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you should go post something on AOL, but you
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: should let them know that you're really upset about this. Hey, listen,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: this is just a.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Dial up modem so that you connection and that's how
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you can get online from now on.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: This has become a pretty big story across the country.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I know that Microsoft is worrying about this, but there
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: are also some federal investigators who are onto this right now.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And that is Russian hackers are going after specifically.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Is it hotels, Yeah, hotels and conference centers, basically anywhere
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you have a mass amount of people logging on too
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: hotel wi fi or some sort of public Wi Fi.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: And I love the name of this. By the way,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: They call it captive Crunch, a play on the breakfast Cereal.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: But basically this has been happening since at least May,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and what they're doing is they's somehow getting into the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: equipment that serves up you know, that little login page
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that you come up against when you're trying to get
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: into the hotel Wi Fi. They hacked that. They make
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: it look just like the hotel Wi Fi page you
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: start typing in your information. Not only do they steal that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: but then they go to say, oh, we actually noticed
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: your computer. There's something insecure about it. We need you
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to run this update before you can get onto our network.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know, you're just trying to get into the conference,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the hotel room, whatever, and you do it very quickly
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and then it compromises your PC. So my advice and
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Microsoft's advice, is whenever you can use your own hotspot
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and just be very aware of those log in pages.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: If anything looks off, you really have to just don't
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: use it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: How about Yeah, I tell you I use them all
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: the time, and that's good advice, and usually I sign in.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: But I guess the warning sign would be if they
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: send you back a message, that's when you should.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Ignore it, Yes, exactly, if it's not just the standard login.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. If you've gotten that bar, it
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: might be too you know, it might be too far gone.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: But yes, I would say if it gives you back
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a message that says anything except how you're logged in,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: if it tries to say, oh, let me give you
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: let me get that two factor code off of your
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: corporate sign in, or anything that has to do with
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a software update or any sort of keystrokes on your computer,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: definitely run as far as you can disconnect from that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Wi Fi. I don't know how prevalent this is. Clearly
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Microsoft is a huge company. For them to be putting
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: out this warning in a large way means that they've
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: definitely seen it at a lot of different places, not
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: just once or twice.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: All right, went back to real football, smash mouth American football,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: not the Premier League. Did Natalie and so many others
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: love kick ball? Kickball?
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: But you're saying that you can say big on NFL
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Sunday on tickets, you mean season tickets at MetLife Stadium
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: free the the Giants of the Jets, which you need
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: a reverse mortgage in a payday loan.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Oh I wish. No, this is this is just for
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: watching at home. You still have to take out, right,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he said, a second mortgage for those tickets. I'm talking
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: about NFL Sunday Ticket, which, by the way, is still expensive.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: This thing retails about five hundred dollars to let you
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: watch a majority of the games that are not in
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: your local market. But here's the deal. You can get
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a few discounts on it. Number one, if you sign
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: up for Verizon or you upgrade your plan, they will
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: give you Sunday Ticket for free for the whole season.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: If you do not qualify for that, if you're just
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: an existing Verizon customer, you can purchase Sunday Ticket for
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: a discounted price of two hundred and thirty four dollars.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I got a question yesterday when
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I mentioned this on another area. They said, oh, do
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I have to watch it on my phone if I
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: buy it through Verizon. No, you can watch this through
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: YouTube TV. That's how they deliver it. Now. You don't
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: need YouTube right, sorry, YouTube app. You don't need YouTube
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: TV to watch these. If you're a student, you can
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: get it for one hundred and nineteen dollars. If you're military,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Teachers First Responders one hundred and ninety eight dollars, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: if you've never subscribed before, you can get it through
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: YouTube tube or YouTube TV for about two hundred and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: forty dollars. So bottom line, before you pony up the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: full price deal, definitely check to see if you qualify
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: for any of those discounts.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: That's great advice. We just talk about the flip tops
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: a second ago, but I guess the cool kids call
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: them foldables now it sounds like the sales are taking
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: off on them. Have you tried it? Is it worth it?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You know? I've been using these for the past couple
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: of weeks. Samsung's got two new foldables that come out
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: on Friday. They're called the Full Day and the Full
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Day Ultra. Apparently free orders. They made a version of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: this phone that's kind of short, I would say, I've
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: described its short and squat. It's smaller. It's kind of
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: like it's not your typical like candy bar style phone
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: that's tall and narrow, and it opens up into this
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: nice big screen. And apparently that thing is just selling
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: like hotcakes, so people really like it. Like again, those
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: are the pre orders. We haven't seen this come Friday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Once you start seeing them on the subways and people
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: using them out and about, and then we'll know if
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: this thing is truly popular. I want to love these phones.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I just don't really understand the poltable. This introduces so
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: many more kind of variables in how you use your phone.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I'm still getting used to it. I'm trying to carry
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it around and use it on a daily basis. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: at this point I'm still using my standard phone. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: maybe that will change.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, We'll keep checking in find out when it does change,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: if it ever changes. Thanks a lot Rich DeMuro rich
