  Speaker 1: The following program is produced by the tech Talk Radio Network.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hear a cable guy and you're listening to tech cock Radio.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm Sean de Weird, and we are watching the well,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: actually you're watching the weather. But you've just enthralled me
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with what's available out there when it comes to weather watching.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so last you know, we were going to record
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Monday night, but you said, hey, there's some storms coming through. Yeah,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: well let's do tomorrow night. And then I logged on tonight.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, just fy, who got some storms
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: coming through? And then I put this up on the screen.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So wow, we have to the southwest.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Of US currently that we're recording about the nine thirty
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night, and we've got some pretty severe weather coming
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: through the area for US. So I've been glued to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a YouTuber named Ryan Hall right as a meteorologist who
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: does a lot of severe weather across the country.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Just to give you an idea, like this guy Ryan,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: how many people are watching his feed which he's doing
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: live reporting on this storm activity that's happening. And yeah,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: so he's.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Tracking storms ranging all the way down tornado Alley from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: or you know, all the way down to the south
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of Texas. He's got one hundred and seventy eight thousand
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: people watching his live stream right now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my lord.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Well, but it's cool because like he tracks these storms,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: he pays storm chasers licensing fees to use their content,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: which they live stream, and then he can pull right
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: into his application, right into his stream. So if you're
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: watching the video or he's going to ride Hall on YouTube,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you can watch his stuff. It's he does a really
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: good job of tracking these storms and detailing what could
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: be happening where it's tracking. It's more real time than
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: your local news. They don't have to break into you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: days of our lives or you know something, and it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: just he bounces around showing all these storms around the country.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And he's been tracking the storm that's coming south of
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: us right now. It's been damaging through parts of Illinois
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and so in parts of northwest Indiana, So just keeping
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: an eye on it. If you can hear the ham
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: radio like my hand radio on in the background, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: there's a couple guys on the two meter the two
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: meter frequency, just talking about it. I'm picking people up
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: from the south south part of my where my ham
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: radio will reach. It's just keep great, just keeping track
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: of you know, where the storm is. You know, if
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: somebody needs help, I can pay attention and listen and stuff.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But now for anybody, unless YouTube gets mad at us
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for sharing this, for anybody that you know, wants to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: see what this guy has now, does he just focus
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: on this part? But like if we're getting rough weather
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in Arizona or for our listeners in New Mexico, does
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: oh yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He tracks blizzards in the wintertime, he tracks haboobs, he
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: tracks whatever, you know, dust storms, you name it, like,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he tracks it all. He's a big weather nut that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: just tracks big storms on the country. He's he's just
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: got a really unique way of displaying it and talking
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: about it. He's got other like industry professionals that pop in.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Right now, he's interviewing another meteorologist that is also tracking
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: these storms. That gives a little bit more detailed information.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: He can go live to these storm chasers and get
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in the field reporting live from these streamers that are
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you know, chasing these storms and stuff. And you're you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you can see some of this content of them chasing
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the storms and wow, just for just providing real time
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: on the ground information about these storms, It's just cool.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's uh, Ryan Hall on YouTube. There's a couple other
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: ones out on YouTube also that are good at tracking
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: these storms, but he just seems to have the best
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: platform for it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And it's see, how did you know? I'm sure there's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: different ways, but how does how do they monetize that?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Obviously somebody got has this is this is like a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: lot of workbody.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So he's he got picked up by weather Wise, which
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: is a weather rate weather app in a web site,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and I think they bankrolled him. I think they just said,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you are bringing this in so much money. You can
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: download the Weatherwise app and you can get the you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: can enable the Ryan Hall y'all mode.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: All right, what is that? R?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just his catchphrase, right, it's Ryan Hall y'all.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He's a YouTube personality, right, So but it enables extra
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: features on the app, whether you know, different tracking, lightning tracking, whatever.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It's it's you know, it's all about YouTube personality stuff.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So oh, he's I would call him a weather influencer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, that would work. I mean think about it. Though,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in the days of weather we had that hippie dippy
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: weather man that would, you know, point to the wall
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and show what was going on. But now we're so
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: interactive with today's technology that he can actually bring people
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that are in an area that he's become trusted at
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: least to know they're not gonna, you know, do anything
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't be doing or whatnot, and bring them up
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and their weather conditions right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And he's got deals with certain certain counties around the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: country that he can bring in their county, like webcams
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and traffic camps, and he can pull those up live
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in his stream. And it's just just a cool way
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to view it because he's constantly bouncing around the country
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: showing all these storms and letting people know that, hey,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: there's storm's coming. So last week Friday, I drove up
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: together Rapids for a funeral and was driving back and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: there was a storm that came through about a half
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: an hour south of where I was driving for It
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was never warned tornado by the National Weather Service. Oh
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: but if you had been following Ryan Hall, he had
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it warned on his weather app and had tracked it
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all the way through until well after it had been
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: warned by the National Weather Service. So you've been watching
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: his stream, you could have had a better idea of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: what had been happening, versus waiting for your weather radio
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: to go off saying there's a tornado your app on
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: your phone, et cetera. It's just an interesting way to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: track the storm. And you know, he's getting publicly available
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: weather data, right. These weather apps just pull in publicly
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: available radar weather, just like your local mediologists do, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: then they forecast it on their own, or they use
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: built in forecasting, or they take whatever forecasting that they're
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: paying for, weather Max, you know, whatever platform they're using.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So he's just interpretating, interpreting this data to the best
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: of his knowledge, right, and he brings another professionals to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: help him.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, has that ever happened? Do you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: shun where so you get the tornado warning? Oh?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had We've had several here.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, I can't even imagine that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, we're right on the cuss Like, I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: surprised that we haven't been pained on this one yet.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: There is an active tornado warning in the south part
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of Plymouth County I believe or whatever county is just
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: south of us. It's tracking. It's gonna just go to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the south of US, but it's tracking. So I'm just
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: keeping an eye on it just in case. But okay,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So what I did today, because I knew the storders
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: are coming, right, I did my own little prep checklist
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: right right. I went and filled up the gas cans
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: for the generator. I plugged the generator into the house, right,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I powered everything down, I powered the breaker that feeds
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the generator, and I ran my house on the generator
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: for a little while today just to make sure everything
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was working. So just to keep you know, okay, made
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: sure my radios were plugged in, made sure my big
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: DJ power bank was plugged in. Made sure that everything
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: where I needed it to be was accessible, the water,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you know, all that kind of stuff. So just being prepared,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: right because if we had to bring the kids into
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the basement in a quick fashion, I've got blankets and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: pillows and all sorts of stuff down here ready to go,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: so that we don't have to just scramble and it
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: panic and miss something, or just being prepared. Trucks full
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of gas so if I need to use the chainsaw
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that's ready to go. Like, I just kind of did
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: my due diligence. I'm being prepared for potential seventy two
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: hours of no power if the weather gets bad.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, how long will the DJI power bank? And
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you have like do you have the biggest power bank
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that they put out?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Uh? No, So they make a two thousand. I have
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the DJI one thousand, the power one thousand. We had
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: an extended power outage about a year ago, maybe a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: little bit less than a year ago, and I ran
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: so I just took it up because it wasn't it
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was summertime, so I didn't have to run the furnace
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: or anything. It ran my Wi Fi router by TV basically,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I averything plugged into the ups upstairs. Once the aps
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: died it it took over and two lights in the fridge.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I ran that, plugged the fridge in. I didn't have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: any issues running it, and I maybe guided down to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: like forty five percent right, and then you know, charged
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: it on the generator when we weren't using it inside,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: ran the generator to run to run the fridge and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the freezer and stuff, and then charged the power bank. Also. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: but that power bank ran my fridge, no problem.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You didn't have to worry about was food.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that would run my fridge.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And we used to get I mean, we've had bad
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: monsoon storms here where people should probably think of that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: at some point, but I mean next week, what are
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: we looking at? One hundred degree temperature already going to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be hitting next week, which is a little early for that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It got into the mid seventies here today.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Which was kind of an achievement for you guys, right.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Which is why we're seeing these storms.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And yeah, there's nothing wrong with being safe. And it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: funny because I have a little anchor from you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Anchor A A and Ker power Bank, and I remember
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, this is going to be so
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: great a case of an emergency, and I tried to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: use it because I have a one of those. It's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: like a blower that blows leaves and you know, you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: has a bag on it. You can inhale the leaves
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: as well if you want to. And it wouldn't even
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: power that thing. It'll charge basically my smartphone. Maybe you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: run my router for a little bit. That's it. So
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: if I really want to have that power I have
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to look at something like the DJI one thousand, yeah,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: or you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Know, an inverting generator or whatever. Because we have we
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: have a predator thirty five hundred from Harbor Freight, which
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I have. I had an electrician come and wire it
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in so I could plug in the generator to the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: side of my house so that I could basically cut
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: off from the mains and run everything off of the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: bus that my generators on, which worked out great. Like
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I said, I did it today just to you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I just went through the workflow, went through the steps
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to make sure everything was working and having a plan, right,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: don't don't just expect things are going to be okay.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You have to have some sort of.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Plan so you're prepared case all right, So hope and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: everything goes well. We'll find out by the end of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Well, if I go off the air unexpectedly and Andy
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: has to tell you why, that's what, that's why.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I thought about running everything through the DJ power bank
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and just having it plug into the wall feeding it
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: power so that if the power did go out, I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: just would have an uninterrupted power supply. But I didn't
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: want to wire it all up.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: No, definitely not are one of the things we talked
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: about last week and it got really excited about and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have commented on socials about it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Is the MacBook Neo. Now, for those who missed it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: last week, they've got a couple of videos up there
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: talking about our TikTok and our YouTube video. But the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: MacBook Neo has been really well received because you look
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: at now laptop prices, you look at PC laptop prices,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and people suddenly saying, well, I always wanted to try
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a Mac and you hit it because you said, if
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: they make a cellular laptop, meaning you could actually have
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a cell connection on your laptop, you don't have to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: worry about connecting to Wi Fi or whatnot, you use
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the cell connection on it, that would be a winner.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: What were we able to find out with that? Does
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it indeed have it?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: No, they actually didn't do that with this. It's using
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the Apple A eighteen pro chip, so the processing is
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the same as what the phone is, right, all right,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So it's it's the aat pro chip, which was originally
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: made for the iPhone sixteen Pro. Most people that are
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: buying a macmcneo could probably already hospout their phone. So
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it's kind of the same in one and the same. Yeah,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: but here's a couple of the key specks for the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: macwickneal right, it's got the Apple A eighteen, the Apple
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: A eighteen pro chip. Eight gigs of memory. Now, this
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: is something that people are losing their minds about because
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: they're like, ooh, eight gigs is so twenty thirteen. Well yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: but it's so it's so much more optimized now for
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: what the apps are doing and those types of things,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: that eight gigs is enough. It's enough for what this
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: product is serving.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Right, you can go with the two hundred and fifty
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: six gig storage or five to twelve thirteen inch liquid
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: red and a display, sixteen hours of battery life, that's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: what they're saying. It weighs a little bit more than
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: a MacBook Air, no fan, so it's family silent operation.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The starting price is five ninety nine. The upgraded to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: five twelve, I think is six ninety nine. If you
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have a university ID or an education discount that you
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: can get it for four ninety nine, which is just
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: mind blowing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so well that's good. So, uh, I know, I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: thought about it. We reached out to Apple to see
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: if they could send us one that we would have
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: had in studio on Monday since they were, you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: coming out Tuesday. Came out Tuesday this week, and I'd
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: never heard back from them, like no, Yeah, I'm sure
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: that they were super busy and a lot of requests
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: for it, but uh, from what I've been reading, people
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: have been pretty happy with what.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I mean I have a coworker that got that, that
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: went to Apple, looked at it, said I'm buying one.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: He's going to do it for some light audio editing.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Uh you know he's been big on Apple for a while. Yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: he's he's in. He's into it all right, shining in that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Think it's great And I'm thinking about getting one for
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Kaylin for a birthday.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking getting one for myself if I can.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, Sean, what will be
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for somebody who's been ingrained in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: PC world that suddenly has got a Mac in front
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of them. What is going to be the biggest thing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to overcome for many people?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I think the finder, just the actual operation of where
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: files are. It's a little it's actually it's an easier
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: platform to understand. But if you're so ingrained in the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Windows platform, I've tailored by Windows experience to look more
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: like mac os than really realistically, So I can't really
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: speak to that, but I know that my in laws
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: when they, you know, I bought we helped them purchase
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a new laptop just before Christmas last year. Yeah, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: they said absolutely no Mac. They said, we're not We're
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: not in this. We're not in the technical place to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: learn a new operating system. You know, They're they're used
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: to Windows. They have had Windows for so long. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: think honestly they could have done it, yeah and.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Move to Mac. But jumping in and getting your feet
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: what with a brand new operating system, could be really daunting.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it can't.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I think maybe the you know, the application
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: windows are a little different. The look and feel is different.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: The axes to close applications are on the left side
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of the windows instead of the right side of the window.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: You know, there's some weird, little little nuances and niche
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: things that come up.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: But you want to do that though with other programs,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, like Premiere Pro. I want to cut a scene,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, and I want to just delete a scene.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I know, I can hit the delete key. You can't
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: do that with Da Vinci. Da Vinci it's the backspace key.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So it's little things like that. You have, you you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: pick up and you learn along the way.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: It's also like a lot of applications for Mac are
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: built around mobile platforms. So the MacBooks, they're not built,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: they're not the keyboard shortcuts aren't designed for full keyboard setups.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: You're you're I'm seeing more keyboard layout designs built for
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a what are they It's called an eighty percent keyboard
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: where you know, okay, instead of there's no delete key
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and I have hit function backspace, it's all the function
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: key and do certain things. So yeah, you know, I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: playing around that with a macquip pro versus a Mac
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Studio versus a Macvinnie or whatever vice versa, depending on
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: which which platform you're using. For Mac, I think it's
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: a really easy platform to get into. Once you do it,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: nobody likes to change, right, Nobody likes to get to
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: spend two decades on a Windows platform that has looked
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: relatively similar and they get dropped into a new ecosystem, right, right.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But I would say not just Windows itself, but some
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of the apps that we use within Windows, right, like
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Office completely changed.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, yeah, so I don't think it's impossible for
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: people to change. I think people are just begrudgingly don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: want to change. And I mean, if Justin were here,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he would just be poo pooing all over this whole idea. Anyways,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of course, I think he would actually applaud Apple for
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: releasing something hundred thousand dollars.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I think they hit it right on the price point,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and I think it was the right time for them
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It, right.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to dry to drive a little
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: bit more of the market share towards Apple with the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: steam Machine coming out potentially, right, I think people are
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: still going to buy the Steam Machine. I think this
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: is Apple's kind of like calling everybody out saying, look,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: we can release products for a reasonable price that do stuff, yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: and not overcharge or try and drive out the price.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, Apples touting their own Silicon Apples touting, hey,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: look we're doing it. You guys can too. And I
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: think hopefully we'll see a trend in the right direction.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: One of the things that I liked about it and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: let's face it, every time you turn around, it's something
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: with Ai and Sean, I noticed, like you left Facebook?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: But how long ago? Three years? Four years?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's twenty nineteen. Easy, Yeah, it's been it's been
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: several years now. Granted with having Facebook Messenger, I still
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: technically have a Facebook account, right And when I get
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: logged out of Facebook Messenger and I log back into
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: just Facebook Messenger and also reactivates my Facebook account. I
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: don't know if you can hear my weather radio, but
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: it's going often, so I'm gonna have to step away
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: for two seconds so I can see what's going on.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: So I'll step away for a second.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Sean's gonna step away, and hopefully it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: nothing too serious. But one of the things though about
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Facebook that I wanted to mention is if you scroll
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, and I'm wondering if this is making more
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: people just to the point where they're just upset with it,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: it's nothing but AI in the feeds. I mean, you
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: could tell you look at the feeds, Shan, and you
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: could tell that that's Ai or that's Ai. Uh, And
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: they're not being really one hundred percent forward on it,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: saying you know, this is AI generated. You look at it,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you go, okay, yeah, that's AI. Even just photos of celebrities.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I've seen it on Facebook pages, just so many. At
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: a point, I think it's causing a burnout for people
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to say, I hate this AI stuff.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been really anti AI for a long time.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Except oh my god, Andy, I'm sorry. It was my FO.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: You sent me so SOO, which is a music generation platform.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you sent.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Us a clip and I couldn't believe how awesome, how
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: good it was. Right. I was like, this is a
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: great little country jam that you had. It was catered
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: to us, And so I went on to soon know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and I've had this little project I've had in the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: back of my mind for a long time about you
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: know those really classic nineties commercials.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, are you getting at the university.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Just pushed a tornado warning alert? So take me back
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to the nineties, all right, and you have like these
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: ten pack CDs, like ten packs of greatest country hits.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah right, And it's.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Like it's just like this cascading information of you know,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: all these songs and all these artists and you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: ten top ten top greatest love song hits, whatever, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: as I've had this idea of making a parody some
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: parody songs based on World of Warcraft and some stuff
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: just for fun. Wait, I was up until three in
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the morning. I spent like seven hours just creating, so
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: just creating songs. I generated probably forty songs and they
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: are so good. They are so good, and I've been
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: sharing them with people because I could tailor them with
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the lyrics. I was writing some of my own lyrics.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I've been this is a project I've been working at
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: for a long time. Right, I didn't want to I
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: don't want to use AI for it, but I was
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: interested to see what AI could do.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Don't think people, unless artists and people spend a lot
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: of time and effort on it, I don't think they're
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: going to do it better than the AI can. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: in the way that you want to do it, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: you can cater it to that, you can change the lyrics,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you can do I don't know, it's it's so good.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I'll share a couple with you that I created and
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: they're just it's really good. I think I shared them
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: with some of my friends and they think they're good.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I hate how easy it was we have seen
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so much slop unless the slop is a real thing.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That's when somebody generates something and throws it out there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Look what I did with the music generation done from Suno.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's a different experience because you can personalize it. You
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: can add alert. I did a for a couple of
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: friends of mine. I said, tell me what when you met,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: where did you meet, what's your anniversary? How many years
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you been married? And I was able to create a song.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: She was able to share it with her husband and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they loved it. My daughter writes songs destiny, and I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: told her send me one of your she writes poems.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It saen me one of your poems. I'm going to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: do the same thing with it. It is really a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: fun experience and you can share it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's a fun experience. I
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: think it's fun. I don't know. I wouldn't want to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: take this and try making my full time. I wouldn't
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: want to create content that I'm going to make money on.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I would I would feel disserviced to people that actually
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: make music for money.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Good point, I would.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I would prefer to do where Hey, maybe I come
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: up with a style and the lyrics that I like
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: using AI and then take those ideas and present them
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: to somebody and say, hey, this is a song that
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I like. Here's an idea. Let's work together and make
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it a real artist, ill people, real music based on
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: some ideas.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We come back.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Sean's gonna check out the weather situation there. We'll be
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: back with more of tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to wear look at my map on weatherwise
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: and see if I'm blown away or not. Find us
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: something we have at tech talk radio dot com.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: We'll be back and now fact to tech talk radio.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: All right, it's some good news, dudes. Seawan is back,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: still standing still.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Guys on the hand, the guys on the Ham radio
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: we're talking about how Wendy it was down by them,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: and they're they're quite a bit south of.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Me, but you're he's just keeping an eye on that, keeping.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: An eye on it. It's it's coming, but it's not
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be as on top of us. We thought, well
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: maybe not.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Sean a couple of the Sono songs that he created
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: as well with me, So that was that was pretty cool.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Different man.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: This stuff is so cool. Like I wanted to hate it,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: like I want to hate AI, I really do, but
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: this was fun and I think it helped. I'm not
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I'm a musical person. I grew up playing the trumpet,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I grew up playing classical music. But I'm not a lyricist, right,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I don't. I can't come up with ideas to write songs.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I can't come up with the ideas for songs, Like
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: that's just not me. Yeah, And I feel like, in
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the case of doing a parody, I feel like I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: could use AI to generate a couple ideas to help
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: me get some lyrics, maybe jot down what I have
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: and expand on it. And that's what I did with
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: these tuno songs, and it generated some really cool stuff.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I just don't know how if I submitted these to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the community, how the community would react, because I know
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the communities for games and video games and stuff are
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: very anti AI, and the companies that are providing these
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: games are claimed to be anti AI, and the try
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and sneak AI in and then when they get caught,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: they say, oh sorry, Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I think I think with anything with AI now, there
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: has to be an unwritten rule that there was a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: generation of AI in this.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, I if I I used this in any format
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: that could potentially make me money or in a competition
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: or something, I'm gonna say this is generated. I'm gonna
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: be one hundred transparent. I've already reached out to a
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: couple of people to help get help with on this
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: project that I'm working on that are real Issians that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: have generated real content on their own, and I've told them, look,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I've already to be completely honest, like I've already started
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: generating idea is an AI, and so you know, like
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: if you don't want to work with you, that's great.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: But I just want to be open and honest about
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: using AI. And I think that's the ethical right thing
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: to do. And I think that's important to be transparent
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: about it and not just say I created this. No,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I used a tool to help me create, and I
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: used it, used ideas and compounded on what AI offered
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: me and came up with.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: A result exactly. It's a very good point. We talked
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: about the uh the Neo from MacBook. I got a
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: chance this week to take a look at this. This
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: is the Asus Pro art p X thirteen Go Pro Edition. Now, Sean, you,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: being a lover of the go Pro, I thought of
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you right away, thinking, oh my gosh, you would probably
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really love this. Now, the reason they got together with
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: GoPro is they wanted to have a laptop that was
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: small enough to carry thirteen point three inches bright bright
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: oled screen, powerful, one hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: memory in it, one terabyte that is in it, and
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: it also has a slot for putting your SD card
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: out of your you know, out of your go Pro,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: which now they do not have a GoPro that does
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: three sixty, right.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: They've had a yeah the Max.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can edit in three sixty on this
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Asus Pro Pro art.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I really, I really think this was was.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I saw this and when you brought it up, I
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, hey, this is great. You got to
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: play with it. I had seen it an article written
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: about it, and I think this is a stab at
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: trying to claw back as much of the three sixty
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: content market that into three sixty has taken from GoPro.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I think this is a great way
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: to do it because it allows you to do that
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: editing on the go with the three sixty, which is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: always demanded quite a bit of horsepower.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: One of things that I thought, and I know you
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: would like as a video editor is a jog wheel
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: on the track pad. And how that jog wheel works
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: is basically you can enable it and then if you're
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: editing video, one of the things you like to do
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: with video is or even audio is move across the timeline.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And now you could do it by enabling it and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: just scrolled back and forth so that you could get
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: that get to the right scene and do that. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that makes it completely easy on This comes with a
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: two hundred watch charger, whereas I think my Lenovo has
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: a ninety watch charger, so you and you get a
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: lot of power out of it, a lot of use.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: It has the a md rizing AI three ninety five
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: processor in it, so it's one of the top processors
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: that is out there. It has its own neural network,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: so you don't have to go out into the cloud
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: to do any AI processing. It could do it all
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: on board the Asis. It's it's pretty great. Comes with
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: all the ports you need and everything. But here's one
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of the things I didn't get it. I showed this
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: on TV, but I didn't get a show the fact
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that it comes with and this is what's great. It
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: comes with this a hard case, so you could store
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it in a hard case and carry it around with you,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: which is great, so you you know, open up the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: case if you're on a road trip or something you
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: want to put it away somewhere safe, You've got it
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: in there. And it comes also not only in a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: hard case. And if you watch our video we're showing
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: this on the video or check out our blog, you'll
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: be able to see that there comes with a slim
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: link case that you could carry with you and put
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: everything that you need in there. They actually made this
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: area specifically for Go pro cameras, so if you've got
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Go pro cameras, take your pro Art PX thirteen with
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you and it comes shn with the pen three point
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: zero charger and the pen three point oh, which I
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: still haven't figured out how to use yet.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: But I mean, you're not a digital artist, like I
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: feel like people that are using those pens for digital
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: art and stuff like that are WAKEM tablets and all
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: that stuff, or that's kind of a niche thing for
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: those those those markets.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Actually got a brand new tablet out so I'm gonna
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: see if we can get some info on that. Here's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the other thing I didn't show, but yeah, you got
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the leak keyboard. But also it's a two in one.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, and I saw the hinges
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and I was like, there's no way, and then you
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: just folded it over like that. I was like, oh god,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: it's gonna break this, Seffy. I thought you looked you
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: were going to break the screed.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Let me break it before I set it back to Asus.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: But two in one so you can now use it
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: as a tablet. Of course, you know it's a touch
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the touch enabled the whole bit. It's got some story
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: cube which is on here. It also has the ability
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to track photos, track you know, everything, all your media
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: in here and again give you the ability to do
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: some great work on it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: No, that's really cool. And I was gonna, like I said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I had seen it, and then when you popped it
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: up in our preview, I was like, oh man, suggest
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: never it never send me anything cool? Yeah, that's this
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: is the bummer.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Three grand wow. But you don't want Sean. Here's the thing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Memory isn't going down And I pulled it up just
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: to see like sixty four gigabyte chip of five right now,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: it's about six hundred, six hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, so you know, if you're building a computer,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this is one you can carry with you. You know,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you don't you're not tied to your desktop. It also
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: does this screen mirroring built in, so using Bluetooth you
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: can connect to it a screen. So you've got a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: screen that is a Bluetooth enable to you know, buy
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a Bluetooth adapter, you could. You don't have to worry.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You just pop into your desk, open it up, go
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and it's projected onto the big screen there. But that
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: bright oled screen which is I believe three K. That's fine.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: You know that works. That works pretty good.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: No, it looks cool. And if I did, if I
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: was still into the go pro world, like yeah, I
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: got out of that. I mean I was super into
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: it back in.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were doing a lot of GoPro stuff, haven't I.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: So I was very heavily into go Pro early two
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: thousand and eight, well into the two thousand's, the twenty twelves,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: like probably all the way I up to like twenty fifteen,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and I kept up like I was like, oh,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I gotta have the Go Pro Hero, the Goper Hero too,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: go for here black right, And then I think I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: ended up like, at what point they just started making
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: just the Go Pro Hero HD, which just does ten
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: EIGHTP and a couple of other features. I think that's
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the last one I bought. I bought four Silver plus
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: because they went they went through a weird nomenclature with
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: the four silver the sor the four black the four
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: black plus that Now it's.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Just I still have my Hero Too, which is great.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: That's where you're using for the cast, right, this is
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a Hero three plus here were three all right, Yeah,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I still have I still have.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: If I go dig up my box, I've got the
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: original one that I have was is called the go
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the Go Pro. It wasn't even a girl por HD.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It shot four eighty yeah, and it took four triple
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: A batteries and a full sized st card.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: And then they had the motor They called it the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Motorsports HD because everybody was putting them on cars. That's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: what I started using it for when I worked at
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: ARCA was it was put we put them in the
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: cars when they were practice or whatever and filmed in
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: car stuff, and then it was the go Pro too,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: and then the GoPro to HD and the go Pro here,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: and then it was off to the running and they
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: were they were the leader for a long time. And
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: man were they on top of it. And I think
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: they missed a big one. They had a big flop
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: with their drone. Yeah. I wholeheartedly believe that if they
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: didn't go and try and do their own and went
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: with a manufacturer that had already produced in manufactured drones
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: that had good battery life and good stability and they said,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: let's just put a camera into this drone and make
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: it good, they would have killed in that market.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You see a lot of the other like uh
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: into three sixty now with their tie in with anti gravity.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: You see a lot of that stuff now. And it's like,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that's why I feel like GoPro missed the mark on it.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: And but I mean they didn't. They didn't miss the market.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: They created a drone, but they had such bad it
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: was such a bad product that I mean literally almost
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: every single user that flew it had a battery failure
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: in the fell out of the sky.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Were they around before DJI, Yeah, they were, weren't they, Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Twenty thirty, I think twenty twelve, I think, yeah, I'm
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: curious now. Wow, But like Corey Nisat or whatever his
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: name is, the YouTuber he reviewed it originally, like way
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: back when he was even pre like anything.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if they would have got called the Karma.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was Karma.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think when that happened, I was very
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: big into the drone market, right, I was working at Fox.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I was the drone guy. I was paying attention to
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And I think if they because they
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: had partnered with three D Robotics to put amount on
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: the three D Robotics drones.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: They would have just acquired three D Robotics, we would
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: have way more drones, way more go pro stuff flying.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: But I think they dodged a bullet. I think they
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: shot themselves in the foot by trying to do their.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Own all Right, we got to take another quick break
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: standing by, We're going to be talking with Sean Dadashi,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: who is co founder of Rosebud. Rosebud is an AI
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: powered journaling app that has about seventy five hundred paying users.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: They've got a free version for you to check it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: out journaling, what is it good for? How can it
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: benefit your life. We'll talk more about that when we
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: come back with tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Shonda Weird.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Send us an X at tech talk Radio.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back now back to tech talk Radio.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We have seen so many ways that AI can help
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: people and help out in so many different ways, whether
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: it's for business or you know, even personal or taking
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: your photographs and adjusting them as we've done with photos
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: in the past and we've shown you on the blog
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: at tech talk Radio. But there's also ways that can
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: help you appear in the mind and kind of get
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: that flow out. And for many years I've talked to
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: people who have said I want a journal, and they've
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: bought the books and everything, but probably just getting the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: pen to the paper has been one of the biggest challenges.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: And with technology, you know, you would think maybe it'd
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: be a little easier, but people still have that hold back.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: There is an app that is changing all of that,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and it's called Rosebud Rosebud, Rosebud Dot app. That's the website.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You can get the app available on Google Play or
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: even your iOS. Devices, but I wanted to find a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: little bit a bit more about what Rosebud is all about.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: And we have one of the co founders with us,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Sean Tadashi, is with us on the line. Sean, it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: great to talk to you.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Great to talk to you as well.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me tell us about Rosebud. You know
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: we think of Rosebud of course. You know, I was
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: a film student, so I think about Citizen Kane. How
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: did this idea come about?
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this idea came about through my own personal
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: experience with journaling. I had actually started therapy at the time,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: and for a lot of folks who start therapy, journaling
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: is a recommended activity to do in between sessions. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: you know, I just found journaling to be difficult, right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: You stare at the blank page, and if you're like me,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: you tend to overthink and ruminate. And so while journaling
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: can be helpful, so I would just be going down
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: these unhelpful thought spirals right right. And so as I
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: was journaling, I was realizing, oh, you know, it would
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: be nice if there was something here that could help
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: me catch myself going down these unhelpful paths point me
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: in a better direction, ask thoughtful questions, right, kind of
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: help me extend the work that I was doing in
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: therapy throughout the week. And that was the sort of
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: like the seed for Rosebud.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great because the journaling process, Yes, you're writing
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and you're putting that info in there, and it's kind
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of like you know, Facebook memories. People tend to, you know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: they get on there and every day they start off
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: by looking at a memory what were they doing five
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: years ago, ten years ago. I tend to do that
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: as well, and that can kind of help you plan
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: your day out. But the thing is is if you're
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: just you're writing your journal, which is very important still,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: but you're writing it and then you go back and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you read it, you're not getting any of the extra
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: input maybe that I don't want to say a professional,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: but they can help guide you into maybe what's going
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: to be next. Getting onto the Rosebud app it's neat
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: because you could start off with you know something in
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the morning, kind of wrap up in the evening. But
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you also get help with the AI. Where was that idea?
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Was that what the missing link was? When you were
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: journaling that you said that would have been a nice
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a nice thing to have.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that the challenge that a lot of
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: people have with journaling is just you don't know where
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: when to start, You don't know when to end, you
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: don't know where to go right, you're just sitting there
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: with the blank page. Right, Rosebud makes the process very
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: very easy. You come in, there's a simple question that
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: you can answer, you can put in one sentence, three sentences,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: write a paragraph. You can even talk to it. So
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: there's voice transcription feature and it's really really great. You
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people myself included, to use it
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: in the morning, going on walks or while driving in
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: the car. Right, and no matter how much you put
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: in it, Rosebud will analyze what you've written and ask
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: a very very thoughtful follow up question. So it's like
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: talking with somebody who's just an excellent listener and asks
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the right question at the right time. And it's getting
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: to learn about you and know about you over times.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: So when you come in the next day and you're like, oh,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: you know that that thing with my whatever my partner,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: you know, didn't go as well, it's going to have
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: context on that and it's going to help you dig
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: deeper and it will help you see patterns that you may
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: not have seen. So it really is a powerful tool
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: for not just getting into journaling, but for also understanding
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: yourself better, which you know is the point for.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: For those that maybe are listening to something I've really
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: wanted to always do this. There's also you know, AI
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: is here. Let's let's face it. But people tend to wonder, Okay,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: what about the privacy concerns of this, John, You know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: they think I'm putting my thoughts, I'm putting my you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: my emotions into my rosebud app. What are the concerns,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: how are the how can you make people feel a
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: little safer when it comes.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: To that, definitely, and it's obviously a very important concern.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I journal all of my darkest thoughts into Rosebud as well.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: So it's and right, it's everything is encrypted in transit
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: at rest. We use bank grade encryption. We're aligned with hipopractices.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: We do take privacy very very seriously given the nature
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: of what we're doing. And yeah, it's it's your entries
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: are secure. Nobody sees them but you. They're only pulled
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: up when you are journaling on your phone.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to journaling. I know that I've
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: been doing some reading on it. I knew we were
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: going to talk to you, and I was I was
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: really interested. I went ahead and I got the app,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and and again I've been pretty like pretty happy with it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: The three three three method. We've heard about that also,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: people in journals tend to digital journals like to say
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: photos with that. Can we do that with the Rosebud app? Yeah?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rosebud you can add photos. The AI will have
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: context on those photos, and you'll see those photos in
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: your history as you're scanning your journal as well.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I noticed that the reviews have been really good as well.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: In people that have been using the platform, A large
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: number of those people have said they've seen like improvement
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: within thirty days, and that improvement is really just self
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: reflection and maybe getting them to really get off what
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: they've been holding back from and moving forward. The journal
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: team seems to do that.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of research that shows that just
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: literally expressing what is what we're holding on to, right,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: what's on our minds, what's you know, in our emotions, right,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: just getting it out. It doesn't even matter what happens
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: with it, but just getting it out leads to improvements
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: to health right and overall well being. And that's exactly
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: what Rosebud is designed to do, is just to help
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: you get it out and do it in a pctive way.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: This is great. Now, how does one begin this journey
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: with Rosebud? And I know that you have different tiers.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: You also have a free level that somebody could get into.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so it's important for us that you know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: this process is accessible for folks. So we do have
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: a free tier and and we also have a Bloom
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: tier which has the features that require more you know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: intelligence analysis AI, right, like our memory functionality. We have
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: these weekly reports that we provide that summarize your week,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: provide you with you know, your wins in the week
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: and things you know, different things it noticed throughout the
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: week for you. You can ask questions across your entire
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: journal history, which is a really cool feature. So people
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: like asking like, you know, what drained my energy this week?
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: Or what books would you recommend for me based off
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: of everything that I've written about. So there's these cool
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: you know, things that you can ask and those features
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: are behind what we call Rosebud Bloom, which is twelve
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: ninety nine a month or one hundred and eight dollars
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: per year, and you can get started with Rosebud. We're
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: on both the App Store and Google Play. And you
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: can also use this on your computer as well at
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: rosebud dot app.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I so and all that information. So if you're somebody
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: like me, you know, you get the app, you're on
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: your smartphone, you can actually take go to your PC
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be that same info when you log
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: in exactly.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: It goes in between phone and desktop. You can use
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: it wherever. You can use it on however many phones
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: you want. You can use it on your iPad. Some
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: people like to write with their pen on their ipad'
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: that's you know, if you like that felt sense of
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to write with my hands. It's
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: not gonna be pen and paper, but you'll get that
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: kind of sense on your iPad if you have one.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I remember years ago, Sean, I bought some journaling books
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: and I thought, hey, I'm going to get started in
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: this right and my penmanship is awful. I should have
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: been a doctor. Really, seriously, it just looks looks so bad.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: But this gives you the ability. And again, if somebody
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to type. They can use the voice feature
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: on their smartphone. But also with this with bloom, they
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: could actually hit audio and it will record their voice
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: and transcribe that and then interact with it like like
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: it's been nothing, I mean.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it'll also it can also speak its responses
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: and questions back to you as well, So you can
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: actually do this and you know, I use this going
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: on a walk or in the car where I don't
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: even have to look at the screen, which is which
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: is really nice right in this day and age where
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: we're looking at screens, you know a lot of the time,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: to just be able to not look at the screen
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: and get the benefits of journaling and self expression and
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: learning about ourselves.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: So I have to ask you on though, and people
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: will draw the comparison. It's like with chat gpt uh,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: where it kind of remembers information, uh, jem and io
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: does the same thing. What would be what would you
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: say is the big difference between maybe using a service
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: like chat gpt and then of course rosebud.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the biggest differences are that rosebud is specifically
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: designed for this process, so chattup might give you really
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: really long responses. The the way that that chat learns
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: about you and remembers you is different than the way
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: that Rosebud remembers you. We have a specific way that
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: we've built the memory system that is specific for helping
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: you specifically understand yourself better, which is different than just
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: like general kind of memory and the Yeah, the functionality
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: and tooling is really specifically for this use case. We
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: have different personas within there as well that are which
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: are basically like AI personas. So one would be if
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: you want to be challenged more, there's a challenger persona.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Some people like a little bit more direct feedback, right
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: if you We've also worked with therapists as well to
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: create various personas around certain modalities, so you know, there's
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: a there's different therapeutic frameworks like a ct ifs, et cetera.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: That it's not it's not therapy necessarily, but it gives
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: you some exposure to the benefits of some of those modalities,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: especially if you're working with a therapist.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: At the same time, I have somebody is saying, well,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: you know what, they start off in the morning, I
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: want to eat healthier this week, and they put in
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: maybe what they had. They'll get feedback too. As well
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: from from the AI say okay, what are you gonna
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: try to get? You get that information and you can
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: go through a week of that and you'll probably feel
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: better and find yourself eating healthier because you've been putting
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: this information in and getting that feedback. That feedback really
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: helps make that connection, does it?
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: It? And Rosebud also in terms of learning about you,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: it learns about your goals, so you and it will
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: actually help you track your goals over time as well.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: So not only are you getting that feedback, Rosebud is
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: going to remind you like, oh, you know, it seems
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: like you know you're you're on your way to this goal,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: or it seems like maybe you're veering off of this goal,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: you know, and it'll just kind of subtly nudge right.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: And if you say like, hey, this is not a
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: goal anymore, then I'll say, okay, great. So but it's
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: there to help you on what you want to work on, right,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: And so if you say that something's important to you,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: it's going to remember that and help you work toward
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: that as well.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: That is great. And you do offer student and military
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: dis scount or disability it discounts I should say.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, we do offer substantial discounts for military, students and
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: people with disabilities.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: This is great now to get in all they need
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: to do they could download the app from the Google
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Play Store or of course the iOS the Apple Store,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: but they could jump onto the web right now and
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: take a look and see some of the different comments
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that people have been lefting leaving the reviews have been
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: really good. That's got to make you feel pretty good, Sean.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's one of the most gratifying parts
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: of doing this work is just seeing how incredibly impactful
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: this has been for so many people. You know, it's
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: a simple thing, right, but sometimes simple things go a
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: long way for the right people at the right time.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm really grateful that we're able to create
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: a product that's having such a positive impact in the world.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Now, we like to ask, too, did you have a
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: light bulb moment Shun that made you say, what if
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: we were able to do this with AI? In development
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: development of Rosebud. Was there a moment there they just
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: switch for you saying this is what we need to do?
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: You know it was It was really through my own
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: experience and realizing, like AI is moving so fast. AI
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: is evolving so fast, right, and you know you can
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: ask the questions of like, oh, how fast is the
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: HIGN evolved?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Is it going to involve?
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: I think the more interesting question is can we use
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: AI to help us evolve as humans right internally? And
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: that was a light bulb moment that I was like, Okay,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: this is what I want to focus on, is how
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I can facilitate that process for people.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Great stuff, Seanda Dashi, Thank you so much for coming
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: on and talking about rosebud. Also, where did the name?
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Did the name have anything to do with the sled
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: with Citizen Kane?
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: So unfortunately didn't. I know. I'm in I'm in Los
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Angeles and everybody out here is in film and they
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: all everyone thinks that it came came from Citizen King,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: but actually it comes from a journaling practice called rosebud
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: thorn which is a rose which is something good that
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: happened to your day, a thorn something bad, and a
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: bud which is something you're looking forward to.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, what a great idea. Thanks again, Sean, and for
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: coming on Tech Talk Radio and continued success and I'm
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: going to keep using it because I'm liking it.

  Speaker 3: Thanks Andy. I appreciate it, and.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Now back to Tech Talk Radio.

• 51:43
  Speaker 2: on Mario.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Super Mario Day. So why didn't so they call it?
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Because Mr one zero looks like Mario? Is that the deal?

• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Are they? They're coming out with something new for the Switch, right? Yeah?

  Speaker 2: So they announced Yoshi in the Mysterious Book Right for
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: the Switch to dropping May twenty first of this year.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, which would be cool.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's the first standalone Yoshi title in quite
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: some time.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: And then the movie. They've got a movie sequel.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Have you seen the trailer for the movie. Yeah,
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it's going to be incredible.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be I'll be honest with you. I never
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: saw the first movie, but I saw the trailer I saw,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: and I saw the trailer for this one, and I thought,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: this looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: They are good, So yeah, I mean, you watch the
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: trailer and I got excited because I actually really enjoyed
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: supermar Brothers two the video game, which was way different
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: than the original, and then even drastically different than what
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: came out at supermar Brothers three, and one of the
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the main bosses in that game
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: is called Burdo, which shoots eggs out of her mouth.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: She made an appearance in this in the trailer, and
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about that supermar Bars two,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: it's but making an appearance in there. It's gonna be good,
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: and Daisy and Rosalina are in there. So there's a
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: handful of characters beyond just Mario, Princess Toad, Peach, you
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: all the kind of thing. The first one was really good.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: This one's gonna be good too. And I think still
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: my favorite part from the first one is because Jack
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Jack Black played Bowser.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he made.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: A live action music video to the song Peaches, which
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: he sings in the movie. Yeah, because Bowser's in love
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: with Peach and it's the whole thing, and it's go
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: watch it. It's totally one Jack Black. It's great. That's
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be on your head for days.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: There's another game that came out today also, and I've
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: been hearing a lot about it called Ranger's Path National
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Park Simulator, and you basically walk around in National Park.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: That's basically it.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I mean similar to like Firewatch. Yeah, you simulate being
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: a Firewatch person and have to track down fires and
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: you catch skinny dippers in the lake and all stuff.
• 54:01
