  Speaker 4: of the main building and a procession across campus and
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: then they did a mass, and then he had his

  Speaker 1: That's pretty prestigious though, to be the president of Notre Dame.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I mean that's huge, the seventeenth president.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's not like the pope or anything.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: That, Right, How does one just go from being like
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a professor to like the president of the university?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you have to do?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. There was a lot involved. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: know it was along a lengthy search of national worldwide
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: search basically.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they found him right there at home. Yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you a funny story. But I had to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: introduce our guy, who is Robert Robbins, and I had
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to introduce him at a big event they were doing
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: at the University of Arizona. Well, the guy that got
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: me and and Barry, my former morning show partner a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: gig in across town at a different radio station was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the guy that you may remember as Charlie Brown Peter Robbins,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and he was the voice of a Charlie Browns he's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: no longer whether he passed away, had a lot of issues,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: had he had some I mean, he did some jail time,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he did some some stuff like that. But before all
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of that happened, back before two thousand, Uh, it was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Peter Robbins. So I'm I'm introducing the president of the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: u of A, you know, mister Robbins. And I introduced
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: him as Peter Robbins. And I remember he kind of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gave me a look and I didn't even realize what
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I did, and I'm thinking I just introduced him as
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Charlie brown.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh. So.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Uh. The good news though, for for you, Sean, is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: even with this, you know, the president you had, there
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was a game they were playing Purdue. There was a win,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: sixty sixty seven. Wo wow, that's huge.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I see. I'm I'm a Notre Dame fan, so I'm
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: always happy about that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: It was not expected that we'd beat him by that much.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I think there was an expectation that we would beat them,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: but I mean I think in the first six or
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: seven minutes of the game we were up like eighteen
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: or something. It was crazy like and then it just
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: kept going and.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: They kind of gave up.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I don't know if you saw like
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: the wide shots of the stadium, but like it was
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: all Notre Dame fans at the end. No, there was
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: like hardly any Purdue fans there at all.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Of course, not would be probably left of the half.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: To follow up on last week, we talked. We talked
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff about Pixel. There's been some some
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: some stuff going on with that we'll tell you about
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. But Justin was going to go
• 3:54

  Speaker 3: the Parks and Rec District that I worked for. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you know, I volunteered my time to just go out
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: there and have some fun. I mean, honestly, I just
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I did it because it's it's fun for me. But yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I went out there. It was It was interesting because
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I was I was supposed to go on at five,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: five to six, but I don't know if it was
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the band that was late or if it was the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: sound company that was late or I don't I don't
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: know what it was, but they were doing like sound
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: check until like almost five thirty, right, and I'm just
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: like I'm just kind of standing there like come on,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: like this is this is my time? Like I want
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to play, because I mean I had the whole thing
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: ready to go. I had all the songs picked out,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: everything ready to go, and they got down with their
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: soundcheck and I was able to finally play. And once
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I started playing, the band which happened to be like
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: it was They're They're They're a pretty well known band
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in the Colorado scene, fifty two eighties band because it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you know, fifty two eighty the altitude of Denver, fifty
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: two eighty, but their eighties band, so it's fifty two eighties.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Oh that's that's clever.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Like so, but I was playing a lot of eighties throwbacks,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: but there were club remixes, and the lead singer of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: the band came up to me like after like the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: second song I was playing. He was like, Wow, you
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: you're really good at this. You like, do you do
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: this normally? And I was like, uh, actually, I haven't
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: done this in like fifteen years. Yep, and he's he's like,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you know, actually, we're just gonna let you play until
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: like six ' ten because we're supposed to go on
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: at six, but we're just gonna give you a little
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: extra time because you're doing an amazing job. And I was like, oh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: that's cool. I appreciate it. So then, you know, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: introduced him and yeah, you know, and then they went
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and but also he had he come back. He came
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: back up to me before they went on, and he
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: was like, do you wanna do you want to DJ
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: in between our sets, like when we take a break,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you know, like at the top of each hour, for
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: like fifteen minutes. And I wasn't planning on it, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, uh, yeah, sure I can do that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: No big deals, kind of normals. Yeah. So I definitely
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I did that, and knowing what my job was, my
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: job was basically to you know, keep people there, keep
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: people excited, keep people engaged. I got to say there
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: was probably like four to five hundred people there.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: WHOA, and it's good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was that was probably the biggest, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: event that I DJ'ed for, even though again I wasn't
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the main event, which by all means I don't really
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: want to be the main event.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But it was cool.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I just had a lot of fun and people enjoyed it.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: People said I did a great job, and you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I appreciated that, and yeah, that was about it. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I really, I really liked it. As a matter of fact,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: at the end of the whole thing that the band,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the band guy lead singer, was like, can you open
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: for us everywhere we go?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: That's a good way.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I said maybe, I said, we can talk. I'll
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: give you my information, but I can't make any guarantees.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But that'd be kind of cool, you know, to come
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: out and open for the band. But I just yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I just yeah. I just don't know how how often
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that is and what they pay, and you know kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of stuff, but yeah, it'd be interesting.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The point I was gonna make is is you should
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be thankful of one thing that the band that was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: playing that night was fifty two eighties, great great name
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and wasn't Jane's addiction.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah, Perry Farrell Man, that is just that
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: guy has gone off the deep end.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I've always liked Dave Navarro. I've always as a musician
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for those that don't know what we're talking about.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: James.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Addiction is a band that's been around for a long time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Been cut Stealing, you know that one of the big songs,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know that crossed over. But you know, they've had
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a good following. They were doing a show and Perry Farrell,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: who's I guess.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Would he be the lead vocalist, you know, was the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: lead singer.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man and Dave Navarro all of a sudden, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was, you just attacked them while
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they were performing.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: So what they were saying on the reddits was that
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Perry was coming off of having like laryngitis and his
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: his voice didn't sound great, so they were basically drowning
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: out his voice.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So they were playing too loud.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were playing too loud. He was getting frustrated
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: with them, and then he took it out on Dave
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Navarro and tried to throw a punch. They say, they
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: said he punched him, but you look at it, he
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: kind of like kind of like shoved him off more like, yeah,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: he didn't really. But anyway, they stopped the concert immediately,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: and they they canceled a couple extra events and stuff
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: because of it. But yeah, that's just come on, man,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you guys go way back. How can you do that?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Uncomfortable? That was just so uncomfortable to watch. But again,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you can see the video for that up on uh
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: up on the YouTube. So, Sean, I don't want to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: upset you too much, Sean, but I gotta show you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that I did something. I did something. After we talked
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: on last week's show, I decided I would go ahead
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and bite the bullet and I went ahead and I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: got the Google Pixel nine XL. Yeah. I wanted to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: try it outcome to the dark side. I went to
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: best Buy. This guy was like twelve hundred bucks and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh gosh, what if I don't like it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: What if you know I'm not going to be used
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to it? And I asked him, I said, how long
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: do I have to decide? They told me I have
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: fifteen days. I'll what I'll pay is a forty five
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: dollars fee if that's the case, which is you know
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: with the fee that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: They used stocking today.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's what it'll be. And then I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: can you know, I still have my original you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: iPhone fourteen promacs and which I'm using with the Wi
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Fi for all the apps of my games. Everything transferred
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: over and that was kind of cool. It was a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: very easy experience, although it was really strange justin because
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you know, on the iPhone, I'm using an eSIM, there's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: two a SIMS I guess you could use for that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But on the Google Pixel they actually put a physical
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: SIM card in the device, saying that Horizon has been
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: having an issue. This is a Verizon rep at Best
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Buy with SIMS that people get in charged twice, and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: so they're putting an actual physical SIM in that. And
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're saying they do have e SIMS.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: They do. As a matter of fact, Yes, they absolutely do.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: According you know, I know for a fact I have
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: the Pixel nine fold, which is one step up from
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the Pixel nine XL. I do not have a physical
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: SIM in my car and on my phone neither did
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: I have a physical SIM in my Pixel eight pro.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And according to Android authority dot com right now, all
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Pixel nine devices have dual SIMS support and they have
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: the eSIM. So, I honestly I'm sorry to say this. Andy.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I think he got ripped off by the guy the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Verizon rep. He basically sold you something that you did
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: not need. Ten bucks is what costs. But still, yeah, yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you don't need it. They have the capability of doing.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: An sim so it really if I do end up
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: taking it back, it's gonna be forty five bucks plus
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a ten by that it pot because basically it's going
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to do nothing for me, and I don't want to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: leave it in.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm the only blue bubble now yep.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Right now? Yeah, well okay, so we have to remember though,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: earlier this week on Monday, iOS eighteen came out with
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: RCS support, which means that you're gonna have better messaging
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: capabilities on the big ones that's AT and T, Verizon
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and who's the other guy that's out there, T Bubble,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: so to be able to send messages back and forth.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Wait, are you saying iOS eighteen for Apple that just
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: came out, That just came out RS supports r CS finally,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Now it's not I.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Do not I do not have IOSA ten yet.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's carrier. It's carrier supporter, So it's gonna
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: be up to the carriers to carry it. Mint Mobile
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't carry it yet. Google five does not carry it yet.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So just those three big ones Welcome twenty eighteen.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I just theme the memes that have been
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: IOSA means twenty eighteen. I mean literally, this is ridiculous.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but how many yeah, how many times have you
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: gotten a video from somebody that is sent from an
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Android device and you're on an iPhone and it just
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: looks awful?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Well, it's exact opposite for me because I've been on
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: andreid for a long time. But yeah, people send me
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: a video from an Apple to an Android, Yeah, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: it looks horrible.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: So the thing is you gotta understand RCS is the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: industry standard. Apple is the one who refuses to do it,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and they were basically forced to do it, and that's
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: why they finally did it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Everybody else in the world was using RCS well.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But now it's up to the carriers. Now it's up
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to Google Fi, and it's up to the others to say, okay,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: let's make this happen. And now I haven't been able
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to test it yet because even though I put iOS
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: eighteen this morning on my iPhone, I don't have the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: ability to really test this.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It should be able to you should be able to
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: message via Wi Fi.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I think I can because I have gotten
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: messages on it. But I wanted to do it WiFi, miss,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I really want to do it. I can't send it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to myself. This house is an I. It's basically in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Apple an iPhone, you know, blue bubble house.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're slowly don you're slowly converting. But you know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: as Sean mentioned there just a couple of seconds ago,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: about these these memes that have come out. I sent
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you guys it's a meme, but it honestly really isn't
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a meme. It was literally a side by side comparison
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: of the six Apple iPhone sixteen pro right versus the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen model of a Samsung Galaxy S twenty four
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I want to say it twenty three or something like
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: that was from twenty eighteen. The specs from twenty eighteen
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: on the Samsung were as good, if not better, than
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the most current twenty twenty four iPhone. This is just
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: getting ridiculous that Apple sits there and touts all these
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: new quote unquote features and all this great stuff about
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: their phones when they're literally six years old.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I will say something though. I will say
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I am not used to the interface, and it's gotten
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: me the point where I'd been like, yeah, we're go
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: take this back, because so here here's the deal with
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the uh with the pixel right, and I've got a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: transfer all my apps. The only one that it did
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: not do with all my data that was a part
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of it is Royal Match, the game that I play
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: every day. I'm up on level sixty one hundred.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Well, Royal Match is one of those super cell games, right, yes, yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: So all you got to do is sign up for
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: your super Cell ID, which is I should have built
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: it built into the app itself. So go to your
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: old and then into your safe and then you sign
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: into your super cell ID on the new phone, all right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: and it will transfer all your stuff over.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, but all right, that's good to don't that's the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: only one that didn't work. You do have to go
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: through processes with each one, like log in. You know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I understand that, speaking up processes.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: If you do use two factor authentication, like let's say
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Google Authenticator or Microsoft Duo or Microsoft Authenticator or even Duo,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: you need to make sure not to factory reset your
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: old device until you have transferred over the two factor
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: authentication to the new phone. I made that mistake. When
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I went from a pixel seven to a pixel eight,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I had factor reset the pixel seven, and then I
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: had to reset up all of my two factors manually
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: by contacting support for all these websites that had two
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: factor on them because I lost access to the phone.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: If you do it the right way, all you have
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: to do is simply scan a QR code from your
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: old phone onto your new phone, and it will just
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: transfer over all your two factors over to that new device.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: But if you don't do it, oh man, you're in
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: for a wolder hurt. Well.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: One of the things that I noticed when it transferred
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: all the apps there is just you just scroll up,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just app after app after app. I got a lot
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of apps now, and on the iPhone. It's pretty nice
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: because I open it up and then I could scroll left,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and go, okay, there's the page with my
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: internet based apps. Keep going. There's my food apps. Well,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you could keep going. You just got to sort them out.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: There's my video apps. With the Android. I noticed I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: can create those, so I can go left and there's
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a page with restaurants. There's a page with you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: video apps. There's a page with your utilities However, it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: still leads all of the apps when you scroll up
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: there's they don't like suddenly move into that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I never use that scroll page on an Android. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I have everything that I need laid out on my
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I guess you would call it your desktop, right, right,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: because that's kind of what it is. It's like your desktop.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I have folders. It's just like the iOS. The containers
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that I put my apps in. So I have a
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: container for work, I have a container for shopping, a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: container for TV, a container for finance, and all those
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: apps are in that container. So it just takes a
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: little bit of just organizing your apps. But yeah, that
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: scroll thing that you talked about for all your apps,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I never use that.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You know what also kind of ticked me off when
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I was going through it and you talk about, you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you got the containers. The whole bit is that the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the AI which I really was looking for to testing
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: out now, Gemini, the Gemini the adme feature in a
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: photo is kind of cool. I might use that, you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: know once in a while. That was neat. But the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Gemini reimagining that you did with the gentleman sitting in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the chair and then it put them on the beach.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I thought it was cool. I was kept trying and trying.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I think I even sent you a testco and this
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: is driving me nuts. And then it was when I
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: realized you draw around the person and then that will
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: be the replacement background for it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought it was all done audio wise,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, okay, that's not that way. You
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: can prompt it via audio, and then like okay. I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: got a little fed up with Siri when you would
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: say you know something and it would like not respond
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: or say I can't I can't tell you that, or
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. With the Google Gemini, it can't shut
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: him up. He'll like he'll go on. Like I asked him,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I said, can you tell me about music of the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: generation that was born in the forties? What music do
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they like today? Right? And he went on for like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and I was like, oh, I'm well, okay,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: maybe ten either way, it was a long time.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: I was like, dude, please be quiet, just give me.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Never had a response more than like ten seconds.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, dude, this was long. I was like, wow,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what I did, what I've brought
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: out in this this voice. But it was like, yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it was. It was a little irritating. So I don't know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Like I said, maybe I'll have to get used to that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I can just tell you. I can tell you
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: right now. The most recent experience I've had with, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: going from an iPhone to Android was with my wife.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: And now my wife is not a technical person. She
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: had an iPhone for many, many years and then it
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: was about what three years ago now maybe I think
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: it was about three years ago. I forcefully switched her
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: to an Android. I said, no, we're not keeping Apple
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: in this house. You are going to go Android. She's like,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I don't want Android. I said, too bad, You're gonna
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: get an Android. It took her about three months to
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: kind of just get used to the daily flow of it,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: but she would kind of rearrange your icons and you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: do things as But now I asked her, you know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: would you ever go back to an iPhone? She says,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: absolutely not. Real Android is miles ahead of iPhone. She's like,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I love this phone.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I just I just like the way it's it's laid
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: out on the iPhone. That's gonna be a hard adjustment
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: for me, Sean, I know you would probably have the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: same issues probably.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm very particular about the way I have
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: things laid out on my phone, Like I don't have
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: any Rogue icons. They're all just in folders. It's all grouped,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: and you know, I'm just used.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: To the way.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I've just used to the way I've got things filtered
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: and set up. I've had an iPhone since.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: The first nine yeah, so it's.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Kind of what I know now. I've had Android phones before.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Right when I worked for Tribune, I had in Android
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: phones that was my work phone. So I've used Android
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: and I see the benefits and I understand that they
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: are light years ahead of Apple and certain things. But
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: for me and my family, it makes sense to stay Apple,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: right because I would say ninety percent of my family
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: are on Apple devices, meaning facetiming is easier right now
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: out Granted, now with with iOS seventeen, you could add
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: non Apple people into facetimes. It's easier to share photos,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: it's easier to share across my my MacBook, my iMac,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: my iPads, my mom's iPads. Right, It's it's from a
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: ease of use for other people in my family to
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: get and receive media of my children, so I can
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: quickly just send photos and videos to my parents, other people,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: you know, and it's all through iCloud. It's that's what
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: makes it. That's what makes me stay with Apple.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Right, understand that tech tech tech.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Technologically, I would go to Android.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I just can't leave that environment of how easy things
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: are for me and my family to share things that
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: we watch. My brothers don't have Iowa, don't have Apple devices, right,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: but it's my parents, Kyle's parents, well, Kale's parents have
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Android too. But the majority of the people that I
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: share media with friends and family, all most of them
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: have Apple toys.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Gloria said something to me though that made me go, well,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, because she said, well, if you take
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the Pixel nine Excel back, because maybe you're just not
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: adjusted to it. She said, why don't you get a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Mac and then your iPhone will coordinate with the Mac.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And then I thought to myself, wait a minute, she's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: telling me I could buy a Mac.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Really, dude, go now, go now, don't don't question it,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: don't question it, just do it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You know, I will say like when when Apple to
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: kind of segue a little bit into the computer side
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: of Apple, right, right, Apple jumping to their own silicon
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: with the the M chips right was a huge risk
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: for them, but it is paid dividends right there their
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: multimedia side of their their Apple silicon with the M two,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: the M three, and you know, they're probably announced the
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: M four here pretty soon. Right. They are leaps and
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: bounds ahead of Intel and AMD in terms of of
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: like media production. They're I'm trying to think of the
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: right right word set, but what they're doing in the
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: media world is light years ahead of MD and Intel,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: and they have a foothold on that industry right now.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: And you can't get a like if you spend wanted
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: to spend six hundred dollars, you can get a Mac
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Mini with an M two chip in it. And for
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: that price, you have a really good multimedia platforms like
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: a good multimedia platform like you can use it to
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: use Premiere, you can use it Lightroom, you have all
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: these Adobe apps that you can use, Final Cut, those
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: types of things, and it's a workhorse for six hundred bucks.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: So unless unless you're looking at using Premiere on a
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: home built system, or you're looking at, you know, using
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: a higher end am D or an Intel processor. Right
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: there's you're gonna get more bang for your buck with
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: lower end M two, M two or M three chips
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: in the Mac Minis than you are for a home
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: built PC.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: All right, we get we got to take a quick break.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: We come back. I know you've got another thought justin.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: We'll share that when we come back with more of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm Justin. Let me find us on the web
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: at tech talk radio dot com.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back and now fact to tech talk Radio.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Now. Before the break, Sean was talking about the benefits
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: of the Macmini, you know, bang for your bucks six
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: seven hundred dollars to kind of get an entry into Apple. Sean,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue with that by any means,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: because you are absolutely correct with that. However, I believe
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: that's kind of how Apple wants you to get hooked.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: You know, well, it's like getting a taste.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Oh for sure, I'm not gonna get that.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: It's getting a taste of it. And then once you're hooked,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: now you're gonna start going for their Mac pros, their MacBooks.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Because first off, Mac Minnie. It is literally it's a desktop, right.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: People don't want desktops anymore. They want things on the go.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: They want to be able to take it wherever they want.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: How are they gonna do that? You can't do that
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: with a Mac Mini. You're gonna have to go with
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a MacBook, MacBook Pro those things. The price on MacBook
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: pros is insane for what you get. You could easily
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: get a PC for half the price that can do
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: just as much as a Mac Cain or Great.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: A really good, like high end gaming laptop.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I do understand, you know, and going back
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: to our days back in TV industry, sean Mac was everywhere.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: When it came to that industry, you know, video editing,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: audio editing was everything was Mac. They have been losing
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: their foothold, as you say, for the last ten twelve
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: years now that they are not I mean the Adobe
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Premiere and all the Adobe Pro. They are putting more
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: into their PC platforms than they are the Mac anymore,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: because more and more people obviously first off use PC
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: and Apple just again really hasn't innovated. They don't update
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: every time they release a new MacBook or a new
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: iPhone or whatever it is the same hardware.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Do you think we're Do you think we're gonna see
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Apple Intelligence built into MacBooks, you know, and and desktops
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: from Well, you're going to see.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: It built at all of their all of their pieces
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: and parts. Right, So you're gonna see generative AI come
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: to final cut. You're gonna see Generative AI come to keynote.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Well, came to Adobe already, Yeah, so I mean.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: They have to compete with that, right, they have to
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: compete with that because it's it's already in premiere also, right, Yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I could just go in and say, hey, make this
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: cut for me and it'll do it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're we're not going to see Apple Intelligence,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: which is what they want everybody to call it. It's
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: just AI artificial intelligence. We're not going to see that
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: until like twenty twenty eight. I mean the way don't think, no, dude,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: the way Apple is, well, they're like six years behind
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: everybody else.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: There was word that, you know, yesterday, the iPhone sixteens
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: are available, and there was word that people who had
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the iPhone fifteen may be able to see and we
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: don't know yet what the outcome because I have the fourteen.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: So I have no way of checking. May have been
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: able to experience some of Apple Intelligence, even though it's
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: not officially going to be available till the fall because
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: they're still working on it, but apparently there was some
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: devices that may be able to experience some of that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think would be great, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: we talked about this last week Opus Clips and the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: other services that are out there that will take your audio,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: your video, your photos and use AI to create multimedia presentations,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: which I love when we see Adobe you utilizing that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: same technology and making it as a part of their platform.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I think that might be even better for some of
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: those companies, Sony, any of those companies that are helping
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: you to create multimedia, or even Apple to be able
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to do that because now you go to the third
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: party for it. They do a great job at it,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and I love it, But that is going to change things.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: M hm.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: That's again all AI driven, and there's people out there
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that honestly, they don't care about the AI. They really don't.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: They just mean, you know, it's it's it's it's grown
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: on me a little bit, right. I got invited to
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: the Notre Dame CHATGBT test bed So I've been using
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: it for things at work and it's beneficial.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I've been using it to generate and I'll share this
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: with you. I've been recording audio of my D and
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: D sessions and I have been using it to get
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: a transcription made of the audio into a text file.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: I put it in a chat che Chat GBT and say,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: narrate this for me in a short story format.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Wow, created the story. It's been awesome. That is pretty cool, right, it's.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Been It's been pretty cool. So I'll share that with you.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: We can put it on the blog and stuff. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: the other things I've been using it for is.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Doing some coding.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: There are there are there are things.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: There are things that we can do work with our
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: We have ross acuity switchers for video, our video production switchers,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And there are things called custom controls that you can
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: code to do functions.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Like doesn't cut this camera.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: It has its own it has its own language called
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: so I just like, I wonder if it's ROSST. So
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I just typed in the I just typed in, uh,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I want you to cut this video on Emmy four
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: with a background, on Emmy three with a dissolve fifteen frame,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: dissolve and replay transition to this custom control it spin
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: it out in two seconds.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Somebody told me that they can take say, video footage
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: that's fifteen seconds long and unfortunately they need twenty seconds
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: because they need to fill five seconds. They can take
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it and use AI to recreate that sequence and make
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it twenty seconds.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: But add like extra frames in or just yeah bits yeah.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Or just the character itself by adding on to it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, they could do so down a little bit
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: pretty that you wouldn't even notice with the with your
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you know eyes, some pretty amazing stuff that they are
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: able to do with this now. I mean, we're gonna see.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's moving so fast because think about where
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: we were three years ago. You didn't hear too much
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: about it, and then all of a sudden it was here,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and everybody has their own version of it that they're
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you know, they're wanting to tout, Well, it's.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: The next arms race, It's the next technological technological arms race.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Who's gonna come out on top with AI?
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be just like it's gonna be like
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: every other technical war that we've had. Sony versus Xbox,
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: you know, Sony Xbox, you know, or HDDVD Blu Ray.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Who's going to come out on top of the best one?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: And yeah, that's what the people, the popular opinion is
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: going to be is the one that succeeds well.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing, Sean, be very careful about that
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: analogy about you know, Beta Max versus VHS or HDDV
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: versus Blu Ray, because we all know who was the
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: deciding factor on which way.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: They were and which Yeah, exactly.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: What you really can't talk about that on the radio.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: What caused VHS to win over Beta maxp You can
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: look it up.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: You might be you don't know, just look it up.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, speaking that, we got a question in
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: from Grace in Saludita. So, I just got myself a
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: new computer, and I'm giving my current tower to my
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: granddaughter so she can use it for her schoolwork. She's thirteen.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: My new computer, which I got at Walmart, is an
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: all in one from HP oh. I think I know
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the one she got. It's like it's just an all
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: in one means basically everything is in the screen, so
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: there's no tower or even like that. She said, I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: have a few programs on the other computer, a couple
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: of Turbo tax years, my circuit Cricket program, Cricket Cricket
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: word perfect, and Roxio easy Creator. Is there an easy
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: way to move these to my new computer? The old
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: one ran Windows ten. I guess your new one is
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: running Windows eleven.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I would say, just go to the websites for each
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: of those programs and just download the installer. Really, I
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: mean you don't really have physical installation media anymore.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is a hard question, right, because there
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: are several ways she can move things, and in my
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: experience with Windows based computers moving from one PC to another,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: it's not easy. Yeah, you want to do fresh installs
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: of everything, right, just has to do with regis Windows
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: regis the way Windows operates on the back end. Right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: It's just it's such a pain to try to copy
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: a file over and make sure you get all the
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: directory files and all this stuff. Right. I will say
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: that Apple does make this very easy to do when
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: you're switching. Oh god, saying the migration assistant is very easy.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: But there are options if you're looking at moving file,
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: like if you're trying to move a large sum of
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: files or you know, pictures, videos, et cetera. Like Microsoft
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: does offer their one drive, you can you can get
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: a subscription and get access to one drive.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: You can use the.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Windows History function to toppy and back up things and
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: move it over. But I mean to be honest, like
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: a clean slate with fresh installations, with the most up
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: to date versus of the software is probably your best.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Best. Here's here's something I did. But a year and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a half ago, I had a customer that they had
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: me build a brand new tower. I mean we built
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a full full on you know, newest, fastest, thirty two
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: gigs ram, you know, lots of storage. It was for
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a graphic shop. The previous computer was a Windows XP machine. However,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the reason they had the Windows XP machine is because
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: they had special printers for printing T shirts, for printing
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the graphics that ran under Windows XP. Yep to go
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to something else for the manufacturer, it would have cost
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. There would have been all kinds
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of things that we had to gun. They've gone through,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they already had the artwork, already had it. So I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: found a program called PC mover, and PC mover has
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: a Windows XP two Windows ten path built into it
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: that you can go ahead and apply for programs and
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: it will do the whole program to run from Windows XP.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Put it onto Windows tem machine and it will run.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: The US military you would like to have a word
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: with you and about that, because they are still running
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: on Windows.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: XPR, aren't they. Yes, well they had to look into
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: PC mover. It was a pretty good program. They sell
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: that everywhere. You get it at dead office, depot and whatnot.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: And it worked really really well. Now what I would
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: recommend if you're going to do this, Grace, if you
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: decide to invest in the program to do it. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: mean again, it may not, it may be overkill for
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. Like like Sean was saying, you've got
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: what word perfect cricket cricket you could get from their
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: their website turbottax. Maybe a little different, but I'll tell
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you it was pretty It was pretty amazing how good
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: it worked. But if you want to do it, it's again,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: it's a maybe about seventy bucks, depending on which version
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you get. It's a program you use once. That's it.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: You pay fore, you use it once and you're done.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: All right. Before we get to the next question, was
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: to check the scoreboard Apple three PC forty five. That's
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: the current score right there?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Where did you get that math from?
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've been doing the math for like the last
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: couple of years on every time we talk about it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Every time we bring it up. All right, Sean, you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: want you want to share the next one for us?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: You see it?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Let me let me pull that up. All right, listener
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: question high tech talkers. I finally did it. I cut
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: the cord and got rid of the cock's cable I had.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I've heard you talk about cutting the cord before. And
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: we'll save about one hundred and twenty bucks a month. Now,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I did keep the high speed internet, and I have
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: a smart TV. What should I use? As far as
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: the service to get free? This is a big part
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: free TV shows. So this is for Laura and Tucson.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: So free that's the big part here, right, So racks
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: for free?
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I think people freaking nothing and life is free.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I disagree, Okay, I disagree. I think
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: there's a lot for free that people have no idea
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that it's for free. Oh wait free.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of apps. There are a lot
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: of apps. How they're free, but they're gonna just scrape
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: your data and all that stuff.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's true.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: I think the more popular ones that are out there
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: are things like two B Bubo Fubo and Pluto Pluto
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Pluto I love. There are so many apps. There is
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: so much content out in the world that you can
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: get for free.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: And let's just not forget if you do have a well,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: if it's Smart TV's probably it's got its own OS.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: But if you got a Google TV, like a Google
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: like a Chrome Cast TV or the new the new
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: four K streamer coming out soon. Google itself has over
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty channels for free built into their OS,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: no extra apps required.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: But are they entertaining? Like I know on Pluto, I
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: could like if I feel I once in a while
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: getting too fred Mertz mood, and I want to watch
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I want to watch all the fred Mertz. You know,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Fred Mertz, fred Mertz.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know who that is. You don't know who
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Fred and Ethel Mertz were. They were powers born in
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: eighty one. They were the power couple of the fifties.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: You know again, I was born in eighty one, he was.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: In his seventies. She was like maybe thirty five. Ethel
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Mertz and they were married and he owned an apartment
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: building in Manhattan. The show you know what he'd be
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: worth now he'd be And then they have their neighbors.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He was an entertainer, and he's saying, Bob aloom, I
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Love Lucy. How did you not know the friends? Oh? Okay, well, okay.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Fine, okay, now I get that, all right, all right,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I get that.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: But if I want to watch I want to watch
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I Love Lucy. They have I Love Lucy channel. They
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: have a dateline channel.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Google's got stuff like that. I'd say it
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: was like Sea, almost like Pluto.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't have like sewing with Bob, you know,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I think actually, I actually I
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: think Google actually has a Bob Ross twenty four to
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: seven channel. Okay, that would be good that the painter,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: yeah old with the afro. Yeah, oh, I used to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: love Bob Ross. You know, there's so many choices out there.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: What about Plex? Is Plex any good? Anymore? Plex TeV?
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't use Plex for their TV stuff. Their TV
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: stuff is kind of weak sauce, right, yeah, And it's
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: it's kind of annoying to have it enabled when you're
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: trying to just use it for your own content.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never used it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: They should have, you know, with with with with the
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: unlimited with the lifetime Plex pass, so you do get
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: part of their DVR. You can't DVR stuff with your
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: own odd your own hard drives and stuff.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: So mm hmm.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Now let's keep that in mind for just a moment here.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: You know, she was talking about free programs, right. One
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: way to get a free program is just simply to
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: get an antenna, like get get yourself in over the
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: air antenna. Every single TV, regardless if it's smarter or not,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: still has that little cable input that can be used
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: for an antenna. Just plug your antenna in, go to
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: your TV's TV function and scan, and you will get
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: all of your local channels for free, just the same
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: way you would get it on cable. And it's gonna
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: cost you absolutely nothing.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been into the antenna aisle of s Walmart?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: You ever been in it? It could be confusing, which
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: which antennant do you need? You know what I'd recommend
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: go in with the app, like have the app, get
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the app. You get the app from RCA, get the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: app from Even when you're there, you could scan the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: box for that free app that'll tell you what channels
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: you may be able to get in your area. Go
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: home and actually look, it'll tell you which antenna to
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: get based on the channels.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Because what is that website? I think it's called dish
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: pointer or antenna isn't it. I think it's Antenna Finder
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: or something like that. But yeah, there are there are
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: definitely websites out there. You just simply type in your
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: area code and it will tell you where the towers
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: in your area are located, and it will tell you
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: exactly what direction to point your antenna. Now, if your
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: house happens to be facing the opposite direction that the
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: television antennas are, yeah you may have a little bit
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: of a problem picking up channels. But if you, you know,
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: happen to have a line of sight to that, having
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: just a simple window, flat, paper, thin window antenna will
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: work just fine. If not, you might have to step
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: up to like a you know, a powered antenna, or
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: if you're like way out in the boonies, yeah you
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: might have to get one of those super tall, you know,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: roof mounted you know, yaggi antennas, which nobody's gonna want
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: to do that. But that's an option.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so Laura, right away we would say
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: fu boo fubu right or fubo bo bo fu bo
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Pluto TV. What's the other one?
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: You guys said, Oh, Pluto.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I already said Pluto Pluto to b two boob to
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: boo boo, all right, Bubo.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Boo Boo is a shoe company.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Another there's an app called bat Too.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: There probably is another break. We'll be back with more
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: of tech Talk Radio.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean de Weird, and I'm justin.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Let me find us on Facebook at facebook dot com,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: forward slash tech Tuckers.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: We right back and now back to tech talk Radio.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Now. In the first segment, we were talking about getting
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: a new device and then the possible trade ins and
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: things like that. I saw this interesting story about this.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: So there's a guy that got a new phone, I
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: think it was he was getting the new Pixel nine,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: and he wanted to get the new Pixel Watch three.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: He already had an older pixel and the pixel Watch one.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: And when he was going to go buy these the
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: phone and the watch, the trade in value of his
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: old phone and his old watch were like six hundred
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: and like two fifty respectively.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: But but then he didn't pull the trigger on it.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: He didn't get the stuff for like about a week
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: and a half or two weeks after they had launched.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: When he went back to go do it now, he
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: was noticing that the phone was worth like one hundred
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: and fifty and the watch was worth like thirty bucks. Wait,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: wide rate in value?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Why go down so much? Because this is.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: What they do is it's when a new product launches.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: They want to get as many people to buy that
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: new product as possible, so they pay more for trade
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: in value, and that money comes out of the marketing
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: budget of that manufacturer. So take for instance, Google, all
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: of that inflated trade in value for your device comes
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: out of the marketing budget for Google for that year.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: And then once they've gotten through all the pre orders
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: and the hype has died down over the next you know,
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: a week or two, then they actually offer you what
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: your device is actually worth, which in a case of
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: a phone, about one hundred and fifty bucks, when the
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: case of a smart watch about thirty to fifty bucks.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, would you would you now you've you turned
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: you went ahead and did that right?
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: Because I did?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I have like every I found my old iPod Touch
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: the other day. I mean, I've got every iPhone that
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I've ever had. Still I haven't android.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: That devices now I trade them in. I trade them
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: in if I go with it. I mean, when I
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: buy a device, I buy it at launch and I
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: get that and flid values. So I just recently traded
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: in my pixel eight pro for the new pixel ninefold.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I think I got four hundred and fifty for the
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Pixelate Pixelate Pro. And I also traded my pixel Watch one,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: which I think I got one hundred and seventy five
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: dollars for, but now it's worth like thirty bucks.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Oh man, Sean, what about you, cause you're like me,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: don't you keep all of your devices?
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I sure do.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I mean I I that she.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Has all her own phones too.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, I mean I'm not joking.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I still have my Nope, I still have I don't
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: even remember what the model number is, the og Nokia Brick.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: The sixty one ten.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my lord.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: So I my brother, My brother and I in high school,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: so this would have been two thousand and two, two thousand,
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: so two thousand and two we had to share a phone.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: We shared a cell phone in high school. I bet
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: that was hard, the Nokia brick, right, you're real, tad. Yeah,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: then then I mean I still have that. I still
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: have my Motoro Eraser. I still have my Alltel foot phone.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: I still got my my LG Sidekick. I've still got
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: my LG Triton. I still got you know, i still
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: have my original three G Apple iPhone. And then I've
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: still got my four, my four S, my five, my
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: seven plus.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Wow, I still have them all. Now what should what
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: should somebody think about though? When they have their old
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: device and they say, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna just
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: turn it in. You're like, like earlier we heard from
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: from Grace who he's given a computer to her granddaughter.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: You know what, what things should you think about? I mean,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you've got data that has come through that did that'll
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: take care of it all right?
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? On a phone?
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, on a phone, a factory reset.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: If Grace is going to give her granddaughter her computers,
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: give her put a new hard drive in it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty hard drives. Take a hard drive out that
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: that's where we're talking about a computer. Yeah, you don't
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: want to leave a hard drive in a computer or
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: anything like that. But with a phone or a smart watch, yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: just do a factory reset.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: And that is not going to be recoverable. It's like
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: a d D wipe.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Well, hold on, hold on, because Apple did have some
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: issues not that long ago with resets that scored right
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: with the Apple had an issue about probably six months
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: ago where deleted items were being probably the databases weren't
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: properly being I don't know whatever written so that after
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: after a period of time, things would show back up.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: No, So hmmm, well, well I'm sure I could probably
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: go for both ways anyway. I mean, ANDREI could probably
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: be the same thing. But yeah, yeah, I mean I
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: could see that. Yes, whatever's in the cloud, I mean,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: it's always going to be there, regardless if you deleted
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: or not. It's gonna be in the clouds somewhere.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I did a uh what did a test years ago
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: where I bought a flash drive and I don't know
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: if they've they've changed it or whatnot. I just happened
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: to be lucky with this one. But I buy this
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: flash drive at this used bookstore, and I went ahead
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and I ran it through the recovery software that I
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: have that is probably some of the best. Uh. And
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: it found a bevy of photos, documents, the whole bit
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that were originally deleted that showed up as lost files.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: But you basically had all of that. So you got
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: to think about that. If you're, you know, even getting
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: rid of a flash drive, you want to ever do that?
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Just destroy it? Yeah, just destroy it.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Hit it with a hammer, break it apart, crack it
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: in half, whatever, put it a fire.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you gotta beavis.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: People don't, I mean for the layman's right, they don't
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: know that data is that recoverable?
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: You think I deleted it's gone.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Right, Nope, just because you hit the lead.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Those zeros and ones are just there until they get
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: written by other zeros.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: And ones, right, and they get retto over. If they
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: haven't been written over, and even even if they've been
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: getting over, you may find a partial partial file there.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: So again, yeah, you you gotta be really careful about that.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Here's something that Justin has to be careful with. And
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I was looking forward to this. W c c F
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Tech did a story about the Google Pixel nine pro fold,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: which he's very proud of. And you spent what almost well,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: you you got good deals because again, you did it
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: at the right time. But people are finding that they're
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: spinning up to upwards of two grand for this this new,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: brand new, you know, pixel fold phone. If you bend
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: it in the wrong direction, apparently it will snap.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, okay, duh, I mean, I mean, come on,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: what kind of story is this?
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: Did you know that if you if you drive a
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: car and you hit a brick wall, it'll actually destroy
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: the car.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, Oh my gosh, I.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Did not know that if you fold a real book
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: the wrong way, it'll break the spine.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, people, it was just written by
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: a bunch of Apple fanboys or something like. Oh, if
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: you bend the phone the wrong way, well no, duh.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: So there go. Justin make sure you don't bend your
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: phone the wrong way.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I have an IQ a little bit higher
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: than that.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Geeesh, all right. One of the great gifts for the
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: holidays has always been the tile. Yeah, and did you
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: any of you ever have a tile?
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I had one. I actually I just tossed my tile.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: You tossed your tile.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Because I told me the battery has been dead for
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: years and I've never once used it.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: The original ones were terrible because you couldn't replace the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: battery once it's dead. It was like, yeah, it's dead. Well, ah,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a title is a tracking device again, first disposable. When
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: the battery died, you toss it. Then they added replaceable
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: batteries to them, which was kind of cool. Uh, And
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: now they have added more or as a competitor to
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: air tags from Apple, the Bluetooth tracker has different colors,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: longer range, and an SOS button with a premium account,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: so you know, if you have a free account, I
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: get to do that. But if you buy a premium account,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: you'll have an SOS button on it. So if you're
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: in trouble, apparently you'll be able to push this and
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: it will then the trackers. But it's cheap.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Justin your phone button my phone. Everybody has a phone,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: so yeah, SOS in my phone. Just tap it five times,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: it calls the police.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: There you go. Well, this company was bought by Life
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: three sixty back in twenty twenty one for a lot
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: of money. Then all of a sudden, the air tags
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: came became very popular. So they haven't put anything out
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: for a while, so they're putting them out Now I
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: love giving tiles for the holidays. I always did. I
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: always put a tile in my kids socking. You know
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: that whole bit and worked out pretty good.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: So to talk about life three sixty real quick.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: So my family subscribes to that. Oh cool, So like
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: my parents, and it's it's great. It's a great way
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: to keep track of family members like that. It's a
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: great resource to have. You can set up zones so
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: what I know my parents are coming, which is kind
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: of a nice thing when you know your parents are
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: going to be fifteen minutes away. Things like that. You
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: can set up all these zones, gates and stuff. It's
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: nice to know people are showing up at your house
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: when you're not expecting them. Yes, but it's a great
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: it's a great resource to have. So if you're interested
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: in that type of thing for protecting people in your
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: family or snooping on people.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: By three six, there you go. All right, another quick break,
• 51:28

• 52:06
  Speaker 1: right back.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: And now back to tech talk Radio.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: So to wrap up this week's show, we like to
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: talk occasionally about just what we're what we've been playing online,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: what games have been playing. So the two big ones
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: that I've been playing are been getting caught up in
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: Diablo four. Oh, because on October eighth, the new expansion
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: for Diablo four drops called The Vessel of Hatred. It
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: adds a new character. It's gonna be really fun. The
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: other thing is last week the new World of Warcraft
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: expansion dropped called The War Within. So there's a New
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: World of Warcraft expansion. You guys know that I've been
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: playing that since two thousand and four, so of course
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: I'm playing that. So that's I I've been playing recently.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: But I find it so interesting that World of Warcraft
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: is still around after all this time, and.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: It's still the It's still the largest, if not one
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: of the largest MMOs that exists.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Do you get do you think new gamers are jumping
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: into this one sean like maybe that never played the
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: franchise before that are just starting to play games.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: So I think at this point it's being carried by
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: the generational gap. Right. You have people that played it
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: in their early twenties when it first came out in
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: two thousand and four. Their kids are now into their
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: early twenties because the game is twenty years old. Wow, right,
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: so you have you have their kids that are playing it, right.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: So I think it's it's a word of mouth game, right,
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: It's it's you've played it with your friends in high school,
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: you played it with your friends of college, you played
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: it with your coworkers, right, It's just it's the community
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: surrounding this game is what drives it. So I think
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: it new people, yeah, but it's it could be a
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: little intimidating for newer players just because of the depth
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: of you know, there's so many classes and so many
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: different things you can do in the game.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: So I'd feel like a digglehead because I don't know
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the terms, the characters, that a whole bit, but it
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: would be fun to start trying. How about you justin
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: what what are you playing? I?
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I am giving Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven another spin still.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Well know, when it came out, it sucked really bad,
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: and I returned the game and I got the refund.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: But now after a few years, everybody's saying it is
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: actually finally it's just like No Man's Sky we talked
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: about in the past. They finally got a chance to
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: finish the game and put that extra code of polish
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: on it, and it is a really good game. I'm
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: playing that, And I'm also playing war Thunder, which is
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: a free to play mm war simulation where you can
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: be tanks, you can be warships like naval, or you
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: can be air air battles.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, Well I have to I know we've got
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: some keys that are going to be coming our way,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: so you guys could try out a couple of games,
