  Speaker 1: The following program is produced by the Tech Talk Radio Network. Hey,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this is Mike Nelson from Mystery Science Theater and rifftracks
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: dot com and you're listening to the greatest show on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the planet, tech Talk Radio.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'm sean to weird Welcome back. So good to know
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that you didn't get blown away by your tornado. Last
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: week's was rough, right, Yeah, we.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Had two rounds of good stars come through, so even
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: so we were talking that last week during the show,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: and then two days after that we had some more
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: stars blow through, some pretty severe storms blowing through the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Indiana area, and then the temperature plummeted. And I'm gonna
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: if you're watching the video, Oh, we've got about four
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: inches of snow outside radio.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Wow. And so that's actually calmed down, right, that's actually
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: calmed down. Yea.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: It was very windy earlier today, so it was very
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: very limited visibility taking the boys to take care of
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this morning. We were supposed to have baseball and softball
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: this week and they've all been canceled because it's supposed
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: to stay the weather's supposed to just be cold, it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: twenty degrees right now. It was close to zero overnight,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: and two days ago it was sixty eight degrees out,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: so we've had quite the temperature swing. Here's freaking havoc
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: with my sinuses, and yeah, it's just it's just not good.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: So weird because people listening to the show right now,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we're expecting an excessive heat warning that is going on
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: this weekend, and it looks like our temperature like during
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the show all this show's airing is anywhere from one
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: hundred and two to one hundred and four degrees and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you're probably Saturday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Twenty to thirty, give or take.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Come on down to Arizona there, Sean, it's a dry heat, right, Yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it's just a dry heat.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I had some friends who drove from Idaho to Wisconsin
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and I ended up telling him about weather Wise to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: get the app. They drove through that and it was
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just miserable five hours driving in a blizzard. But that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: weather app that we talked about with Ryan Hall y'all
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and holl y'all was just it was very helpful for
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: them to know whens and when to take a break,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that whole bit. So people should get that app, whether
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they're here at Arizona or there, or anywhere around the country,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: around the world. They want to know what's going on.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It's a good way to do it. We've got an
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: interesting show today. We've got a lot of stuff to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: talk about. We're gonna have a special guest with us
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a little later on. Local woman that is a that
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: has found content creation to be very good for her
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and for those that have been sitting on the fence thinking,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you know, I want to I want to create videos
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and put them on social media, on Facebook. I want
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to share some of my knowledge. She's somebody who went
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: ahead and just did it. So we're going to talk
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: about how it's worked out for her. She's from Sabaudita,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: this area, so I think it would be it's going
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to be really cool. So should be on the show
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a little later on. But in the meantime, we do
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: have some good tech to stock talk about. We have
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we have one question this week that we got in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I thought was pretty good. Maybe we can help Randy
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: into some with this one. All right, so let me
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: go ahead and throw this out there. Says hello guys,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: hoping you can help me. I'm sometimes away from my
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: computer and I want to grab a file, asking my
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: wife to run in and mail it to me has
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: been a hassle. Is there a good way to connect
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: remotely that could be safe?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Years ago? I used to go to my PC and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so what's good now? And that's Randy in Tucson.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: There's a garden variety of platforms, right. I think the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: best one that I would say, if you're savvy with computers,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: would be to look into using tailscale, which would allow
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: you to basically VPN into your own network at home
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: and then utilize another platform like Rust esque, VNC Viewer,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: any type of VNC software that can virtualize between your PCs.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Real VNC has been pretty good. They used to offer
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a free version of real vinc and then they said,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's silly for us doing this for free.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They weren't taking people who were using a free version
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and moving them over to a paid model. So they
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: just decided, well, if you want to still use it,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it's not that expensive, but they could do that. Would
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you recommend going into a VPN before because you could
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: use RUSS desk to do a direct to PC connection,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be more secure and more safe
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: by doing the VPN.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just hard because if you're trying to
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: do it securely, you don't want it to be just
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: on anybody's Wi Fi or whatever. Right, So if doing
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a VPN would be e better, I would imagine using
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: tail scale and then tunneling into your own network and
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: then you know, using a VNC view or similar to
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: access the computer you want or access a network share
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: or something would probably be the easiest. It's hard because
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: it's like you don't always know if the file is accessible.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: You don't have it backed up, it's not on the
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: network share. So if you need to remote access your
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: computer to do something, it's hard.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I going network That's where you have the challenges.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're inside JR. Nework, it's easy. Get rust
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: desk done, problem solved. I've got That's how I got
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: my stuff built for Like, if I need to pull
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: stuff off my PLEX server or add stuff, I just
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: rust ask to it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It's headless.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: It sits in the rack in my in my sort
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of my equipment room, and I don't have a display
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: in it, so.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right, and you don't have to get up go to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the other computer with a get it with a flash
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: drive or anything like that. Also, Windows used to make
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it pretty easy to be able to connect to your
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: computer and.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Something, yes, except if you got Windows eleven.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: So we talked about this a while back, right when
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: ad for Windows eleven was announced, because I was using
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: remote desktop for everything that I was doing because I
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: had Windows on my plex. Sur I'm now running Linux
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: because of the Windows eleven stuff. I was too mad
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: about it. Where I had Windows ten Pro and when
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I upgraded, I upgraded to Windows eleven Home, upgraded a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: couple of my other piecs to Windows eleven Home also
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: at the same time, and tried to remote desktop into
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: my my Pleux server and it was like it just
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: didn't work.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: And I was like, what is going on?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I went in and made sure
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: it was enabled everything and went to that machine to
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: try to enable and it just didn't exist. Yeah, remote
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: desktop just isn't in the home version of Windows eleven.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: So you had to pay for the pro version of
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Windows eleven to get remote desktop back.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: What.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah that, I said a lot of people even they're
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: just basic networking, sharing a folder across the network, just
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: doing it that way. Major changes when Windows eleven came
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: along and people that were able to set it up
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: easily with Windows ten, even with the first versions of
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Windows eleven, and then they started doing the update and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it was gone.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It was out of there. That's been made a bit
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of a challenge what Brandy's trying to do. I mean,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Imagine you're out of town in business and suddenly go, oh,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't have that, and people say, well, there's a
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: good reason for everything to be in the cloud.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: No, but no, don't use that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: But to be able to safely and securely get into
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: your computer, be able to get grab a file and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: have it can be good.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So hopefully that suggestion will work for Randy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: You'll just have to just research.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But again, a VPA, a good VPN connection, and then
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: some sort of remote access so that you can get
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: between your machine and the host machine you want to touch.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: So right, you had a story that you shared with
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: me earlier when we were just you know, we always
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: sit around talk for a little bit that I thought
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was kind of interesting for anybody who played Pokemon Go.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I came across this article a couple days ago. Niantic,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the company that was behind Pokemon Go.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: For those people don't remember Pokemon Go.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: So take yourself back ten years, a decade ago already,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: if you believe that, almost a decade. It was like
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the summer of twenty sixteen, so almost a decade ago.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: This app comes out called Pokemon Go.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Pokemon.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It's one of the probably the most popular video game franchise.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: In the world. Everybody knows what Pokemon is.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: And you could use ar so you pointed your phone
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: around and it would find Pokemon in the wild that
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you could then swipe poke balls to try and catch
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: up with stuff. It was crazy. It was insanely popular.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: It was a worldwide sensation. It was a big thing.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Tracking it used he used real real time track gig,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it used real time GPS, it used real locations, real
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: landmarks to all this stuff.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I remember people you could you would see them walking
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: around like Walmart, playing Pokemon Go on their phones while
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: they're shopping. When I went to I helped my friends
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: move to Idaho. We stopped in Pocatella, Idaho, and we
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: stayed there and I remember outside of the hotel at night,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: people were walking around at night and I remember asking
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: somebody what is everybody doing. He said, Oh, we're all
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: playing Pokemon Go because that's when I had first come out.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: People were gathering and playing this thing everywhere.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I remember walking like seven eight miles a day when
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I first came out playing it, just going down Talker rabbits,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: meeting my friends and just doing the river Walk loop
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and just hitting all the poke stops and talking to
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: all the people that were playing it. I mean, there
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: were thousands of people playing it. It was insanely popular.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: They just recently announced a partnership with a company called
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Coco Robotics. It's a company that makes short distance delivery robots,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: so food delivery, so like doorsh robots, right, those robot couriers,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: they'll scoot around whatever, but they'll be using Niantic's VPS
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Visual Positioning system, which has been trained.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: On over thirty billion.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Images captured by Pokemon Go well, featuring real landmarks and
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: buildings and streets.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: So all that time we were playing and we had
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: our cameras on and we were trying to catch Pokemon goes,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that data was being sent back to Niantech. And now
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that data has been saved, and now that could be
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: used to create these grids for these robot couriers to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: then deliver your food.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: So, if you look back to twenty twenty in Pokemon Go,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the mapping effort. The mapping effort within Pokemon Go got
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: a huge boost when the app added field research feature,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: prompting players to scan real life, real world statues and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: landmarks with cameras in exchange for in game goods oh,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: meaning you got free staff for giving them more data.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Those scans were then used to create realistic three D models,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: et cetera. So the idea is that these Cocoa robots
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: will use the vps and four cameras mounted on the
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: robots to make very precise deliveries up to a few centimeters.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It says, so, well, I know it'd be interesting.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: So they supposedly have some of these some robots at
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the University of Arizona.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: We have one campus.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You have them on campus in Notre Dame too.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got stuck in a lot of snowbanks and
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: over the wintertime. They don't like, they stopped sending them
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: out in the wintertime because it was they were getting stuck,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: right like if a sidewalk didn't get plowed or if like,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know, they were getting stuck.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: It was pretty comical.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: All right, listen, we got to take a quick break.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Will he come back.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be doing a presentation coming up in a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and I asked, Sean, can you help
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: give me some info maybe some ideas. So we're gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: share that come up with tech talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I'm Sean dea Weird.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: You can find us on the web. Send us your
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: questions at tech talk radio dot com.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: We'll bear back and now fact to tech talk Radio.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So, coming up in a couple of weeks, I'm going
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to be doing a presentation at an active adult community
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: computer club. They asked if I would come speak to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: them and you know, talk about tech.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And I was like.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Kind of like, okay, well, what what can we talk about?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: What are some things that would be good? And they said,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: well they had somebody previously do one on VR, like
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: virtual reality with you know, the goggles that didn't go
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I laughed at when you told me that. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: laughed at that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Right, you're going into an elderly community.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Those people don't care about VR.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I was baffled by that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Well, so I that was what he told me that
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I kind of had to chuckle a bit. So I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: was thinking, Okay, what kind of stuff could I show now?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: And I want to do it. I want to make
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it interesting.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So one of the things I was thinking about and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I reached out to the company this week.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Remember grand Pad, Yep, we hadrand the show. We've had
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: them on the show.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: We had him in the show back at twenty twenty
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: when they first started putting them out.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: The CEO came on and talked. We did a video
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: interview with him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: If they gets still up on our YouTube or our
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: website as well.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Really cool product. It's I was talking to a.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Friend of mine who said that his computer had died,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and I said, well, you know, we're going to put
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: something together for you. And he said his son wants
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to get him a tablet, and I thought, I said,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you know what, tell your stidd to get you at Grandpad.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And grand Pad is kind of built in. We're gonna
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: see if we can get the new CEO on the show.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It's everything's built into it. They make it easy. So
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: if you're not that great with tech and you want
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to be comfortable with tech, it's a great way to
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: be able to instant message to get text, to be
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: able to go on social media, to be able to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: watch content that's on there, and it's been very popular,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: even play games. My mom, who's no longer with us,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: she had a laptop and I remember, you know, when
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: when she passed, I got her laptop and she had
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: like tons of slot machine games on her laptop and
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: she liked playing Solitaire and some of the other the
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: games that it came out, card games, the whole bit.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So just to be able to do that, I think,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: is what a lot of people.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: If my dad could play free Cell for the rest
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: of his life, oh yeah, just fine. He's obsessed with
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: And I do like that Window Windows.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: They did put out Solitaire again, and they have a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: version of Solitaire and Windows eleven which is actually a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: lot of fun.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe they'll make a version of Hearts that doesn't cheat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I heard about that, the.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Wind the Windows, the Windows I think Windows seven, maybe
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Windows maybe Vista. I don't remember which version of Hearts
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I tracked. I was played Hards a lot and I
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: tracked it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: It cheated.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see if we get Grandpad and so well,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: we'll have them on the show again. If we can
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: another thing. I was thinking, tell me what you think
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of when you know we're we're as we have had
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: some years over us. We've collected photographs and you've been
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: through this photographs, video film, and one of the easy
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: things to do now is of course digitizing our photos.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking, do you think the epsoin you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the photo scanner would be too much?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think that would be kind of cool.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I think it depends on the level of technology these
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: people have, Right, if they're computer savvy, great, I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it'd be great. But if you're in a retirement community, yeah,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you might already have done something like that, right. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: feel like this is the kind of thing you're not
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: bringing with you to a retirement community. It's maybe stuff
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: you're dumping on your kids. So I think when you
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: mentioned that, I rebutted with an idea that my parents
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and Kala's parents can up with, was, hey, we bought
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: these digital photo albums. Digital photo albums set well, they
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: have these picture frames that are have a digital LCD
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: display and we upload pictures to the app for the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: display and it will rotate through the pictures that we've uploaded.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: So you so you and Kaitlyn go somewhere with the kids,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you take a lot of photos you want to share
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: them with you know, mom and dad or other relatives.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You don't have to to do a Google Box. You
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: could just send it to this service.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: And it just auto updates.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So they we'll just go to their house and we'll
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: see pictures that we put on there two or three
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: days ago, just rotating through.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: So it's cool, but it's filtered.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: By you know, my sister in law and their kids, us,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: our kids, and then my parents have a different brand,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: same concept. So we have two apps on our phones
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: that we upload pictures to so that one will feed
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Kaitlinn's parents and one will feed my parents. So that
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: way when we go or when they're at home, they
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: can just see it rotate through pictures of all the grandkids.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: It's almost in real time if you think about it,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: like if we upload a picture, it could be there
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: in thirty forty minutes and they'll see it rotate through.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: So it's a great way for us to keep connected
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: with our parents, so we don't have to keep sending
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: on pictures every day and via text message or whatever.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But what I know, what are those two services?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: What are the picks.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Star pax Star and nicks Star or play Mix Play
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: PickStar pix Star. The app is called PickStar Snap and
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the other one is nicks Play. Now there's other ones
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: out there also, right, there's a ton of other vendors
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: that are just like this, but these were the two
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: that our parents had picked, so they're the kinds of
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: ones that we're stuck with. But they've been pleasant to
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: work with and upload, and you know, it's like any
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: other photo app. You can download your prints, you can
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: get prints made, mugs. It's you know, those types of
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: platforms too, So.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: It's kind of cool.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Is heavy costs, I don't know. I don't think there's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: a subscription. I think it was a one time purchase,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: so they bought.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: A frame and then they get this ability to do that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my understanding.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: So and I don't know if the photos to stay
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: on there for a period of time, or if there's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: unlimited storage or you have to pay for more, or
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you know, it rotates out after a couple months or whatever.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: But I just know they like it and can see
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: pictures of the kids, and it's pretty effortless for us.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: All Right, here's another thing I was thinking, and you
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: tell me if you think this is too much PCs
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you know again, like my buddy is.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: PC is is gone.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, what if I took an old PC
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and I went ahead and put Linux on it and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: to show them that you can have a PC, you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: can have a computer, it can have Linux on it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Which build would be the best Linux build to show?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Or again, is that too much?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Is that? Like it's too much?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You think so?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I think so unless it's a laptop and it's easy
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: enough for them to go ooh mail, ooh the web
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: browser and not have to do anything weird.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Right, I don't know. I think Linux is not for.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: The everyday consumer. Unfortunately, it's getting there, I hope sooner
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: than later. But I think that can segue into like
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the MacBook Neo.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great the would I think the Neo
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: would be great.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: The Neo would be a good one if especially if
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: they have or have been introduced to the iOS platform.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: All right, the OS platform.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So you've got a chance to look at the MacBook needs.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I got just to use it. A who older of
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: mine went in student line at the Apple store the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: day it released, got his pre ordered it and then
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: went picked it up. It's a slick little thing.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Right it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: So I have a h An M two MacBook Pro
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that's my work computer, and he now has a MacBook Neo.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Not at his work computer, it's his personal computer, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: he brought.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: It into work. It almost weighs the same amount.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: As my mtwo Mac Mac Pro. It's heavy, it's beefy,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: it's it's thick. It's it's thick. The Macwok Neo, it
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: weighs quite a bit.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: It's heavier than. It's heavy.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: It's heavier than the air. It's heavier than it's not
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: as lightweight as everybody thinks it is. It's small, it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: only thirteen point five inch diagonal screen. But the display
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: looked good. It does not have backlit keys, so he
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: got the the cobalt colors like the dark powdered blue color,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and the keys are darkish colored too, with black text
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: on them for the keys, making it nearly impossible to
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: read the keys in a dark environment. And so if
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: you're not a field typer, if you have to look
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: at the keys, you're gonna have a hard time in
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: the dark. Right, So that was his number one complaint
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: is no back no backlet keys, so the speakers on
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the backbook Neo are on the side, so they actually
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: eject out the side instead of out through the little
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: holes like the little.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Or up by the display.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Right, So if you're a straight up ergonomical typer, you
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: have your hands straight up and straight in.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I'm a lazy keyboarder.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: My keyboard ergonomics is I'm sure there are people that
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: are pulled at the way I type, but my arms
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: rest over the edge of the computer.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've seen a lot of people do that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it muffles the sound coming out of the speakers
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: because my arms are over. So I was listening to it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, this doesn't sound that great. He goes,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it sounded that bad at all. So
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: he took it over and he's like, look, it sounds fine.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And then I realized his arms were in straight in
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And then when I came to it, my arms were
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: sitting over the edge of the display. So it was
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: changing the dynamic like literally the dynamic range of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: sound coming out of the computer. So that was my
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: biggest complaint was did I was gonna be annoyed by that?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Because even if you think about it. A lot of
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: people use computers in bed or on soft surfaces, on
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: a blanket, et, cetera. So if that gets sunken into
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: a surface a little bit, it's gonna completely change how
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: it sounds. So I was a little thrown off by that,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: but not everybody is. But the trackpad is a actual
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: functional track pad, not a haptic feedback track pad. It's
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: actually a physical piece again, and the repair ability is
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: a big one. Everything is repairable. Like you can take
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: the keyboard out, you can take the track pad out. Battery,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: the RAM and the memory and the hard drive are
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: also still soldered on, just like they have been for
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: a long time with the logic boards. But for a
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: user repair ability, it's got a pretty good score on
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: things that can be replaced.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So how about performance wise?
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: No, right, So we did some trial and error, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: it's hard to think about it in terms of like
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: eight gigs a RAM.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, eight.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Gigs a RAM is is a good amount of RAM.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: But if you think back to like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: when MacBook pros had eight gigs a RAM in them
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: as like a base the base model, that was a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: lot then too processes weren't taking up as much RAM
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: as they do now. Chrome Safari pretty much any Chromium
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: built browser really eats up a lot of RAM quickly. Yeah,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: so if you're doing a lot of high intensity HTML
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: five stuff with HTML five graphics, or just doing a
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: ton of web bread like a ton of web stuff,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: it starts to eat up pretty quickly. But he was
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: able to run final cut on it, no problem. He
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: was to run He was able to run logic on it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: It was interesting though, because you could track it and
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: when your MAX starts to run out of memory, it
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: will warn you and say, are you sure you want
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: to open this? You know, you might need to close
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: some other stuff to keep the RAM back. And there's
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: a program for Sure Wireless Microphone is called Sure work
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Bench or Sure Wireless work Bench. And he opened that
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: up and it immediately said, you're not using to a
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: tram bro He got to shut You gotta shut something down.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: And it's like, oh, okay.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: So it was either trying to draw too much RAM
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: off the start or so some things may not be
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: optimized for.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: The Neo, which is to be expected. Right, But again.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: It's not for power users, right, It's not for people
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that are trying to do final cut and pro and
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: after effects and all that stuff. It's designed for your
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: moms and your pops trying to just do the web
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: browsing and email, which is great for that. If you're
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: not trying to do much more than that, you can
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: get away with a little bit of light podcasting or
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: light video editing. Like I'm sure what we're doing here
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: with this podcast, I could get away with doing no
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: problem with the Mac with Neo.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: And for the.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Price point, if you have an education discount, you can
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: get the five ninety.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Nine and one for four ninety nine.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can't beat it. And it's just eaten
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: into the Windows market. And that's all you're reading about
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: right now is how powerful this is going to be
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: against Windows based laptops and stuff.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Because we had just.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Talked about that that acer or the Asus go Pro
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: paint yep one you just did, but that's like thirty.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: For that thing. So if you're if you're if you're
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: a Mac user, or if.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: You're thinking about getting a new laptop and you just
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: want to do web browsing, maybe some Netflix, maybe some
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: light video editing or light photo editing. The Neo's got
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: to be in the your top two top two.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Per wait to take a quick break, we come back.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Misa Acosta is a local that has found creating content
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: on social media has really worked for her, so we
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll inspire others to take that jump. So we'll
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: do that, coming back with more of tech Talk Radio.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I'm Andy Taylor.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I'm Seanda Weird files on Facebook at tech talk Radio
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: while we're back.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Now back to tech Talk Radio.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to tech Talk Radio.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: And I've really been looking forward to this to be
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: able to talk with somebody a lot I will call
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: my friend. I've been able to follow her along for
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: so many years in her professional career. My first time
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: speaking with her was when she was graduating from Sabodita
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: High School and I thought, this is a wonderful woman
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: and so many scholarships, and we had her here in
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: on the station to talk about, you know, just just
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: how amazing her educational career had been. And I've just
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: been seeing this growth from her when it comes to
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: business and social media, and I wanted to get her
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: on the show because this can inspire so many others.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm happy to welcome to the show Misa Acosta.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for coming on.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Lisa, thank you for having me. I'm so excited to
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: be here.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: You look back sixteen years ago, you know, for graduation
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: and getting all of those those honors, those scholarships. Did
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you have any idea just how that was going to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: be propelling you in your future?
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not. I mean when I was a graduate in
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Tauditha sixteen years ago, I had one goal, and that
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: was to be an actor. I'm going to LA I'm
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: going to New York. Whatever it is, I'm going to
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: make it happen. And I instead stayed here in Tucson
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: for the first two years. I went to Pima started there.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: It was a good experience because I got to really
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: understand the end industry and what it was I wanted
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: to do. From there, I did go to Los Angeles,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: I did live in New York. I did get the
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: full experience from acting and directing and writing and all
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: kinds of stuff. But the one thing that really hit
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: me was how separated you are from your life. And
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: I don't think we really recognize that with people. I
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: missed home, I missed my parents, I missed my family,
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: and so I came back ten years ago, something I
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: never thought I would ever do because I saw it
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: as a huge fail in my life. It's like the
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: butterfly effect. You never realize what certain choices do and
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: what they give you. One thing I've always shared with
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: people whenever i'm mentoring in business or just anything, is
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: that you never know where life's going to take you,
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: and changes in those evolutions of whatever it is you're
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: going through completely shape where you're meant to be. And
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I knew I was always meant to help people or
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: guide people in some way, shape or form, whether I
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: was on stage or what I do now in my business.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: I would have never known that sixteen years ago, like
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: this is what I was meant to create.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: You also did some education, some instruction teaching. How was
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: that experience for you?
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: That was another thing that I was like, let's just
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: give me a show and see what happened that point in
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: my life. Honestly, I was like, I need to do
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: something different. I'm not moving up and where I am now,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: so let's just switch the career all together. That's where
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: I ended up getting in my whole life. I've had
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: seventeen scholarships that have getten me through my education. I've
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: never once paid for it at a pocket And when
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I shifted from my administrative work that I was doing
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: at the time to education, shout out to the women
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: who quilled Creek. I applied for the Women in Transition
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: scholarship and got that to go back to get my
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: teaching certificate. So I taught middle school math and science
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: for four years. A total career change, a chapter in
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: my life that I will absolutely say was the hardest
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: years of my life but the best years of my life.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: And that too is not where I just started my business,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: but I realized what my purpose in life was, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: that is to educate people, to give back to people.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a smile on someone's
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: face because whatever it is that they needed, they got
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: and then they can take it and go do whatever
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: they want with it. They thrive. There's always a foundation
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: somewhere and being a part of that foundation it's so rewarding.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: And so yeah, so I was I was a teacher
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: for four years.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: MESA.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Some of the stuff you've been doing, it's really some
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: great content. You know, seven years ago, I believe you
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: kind of started this chapter and now make up therapy
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: with Marisa has been going very well. Tell us, really,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: you know what forced you to say I want to do.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much for saying that, because, for one,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: being on social media is quite scary and it's really vulnerable.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: And you think you have this good idea and you
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: post it and then maybe one or two people like it,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: and you start to think, oh my gosh, nobody likes me.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Am I worthy? And you go into this like rabbit
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: hole of second guessing what it is that you're trying
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: to do. So if you I mean this to everyone,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: if you see somebody's video, give it some engagement, like it,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: love it, give them that realization that you're watching. Don't
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: just you know, because there's been people who come up
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: to me and they're like, I don't see your videos anymore,
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: And I thought I had no idea you watched my videos.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: I always tell people, don't just watch engage. It is
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: a huge deal. Seven years ago, when I started this business,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I had never done a live video. I had never
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: really posted a video. I had posted pictures, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: shared my family, shared my vacations, things like that. But
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: when I was a teacher, I wasn't going to get
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: paid in the summer, and I thought I have to
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: do something to contribute to my household. I had done
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: direct sales in my college years. I had been in
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: retail for many years as well, and I saw a
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: lot of my friends around town who were just selling makeup,
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: and I thought to myself, I could sell makeup. It's hard.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Every woman needs makeup, right, but that can't be difficult,
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: and so I did. They encouraged us get on your Facebook,
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: get you know. Then we had Instagram, but it wasn't
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: channeled as much. But they always said, go live, do
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: a live video. And I did my first live video,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: and till this day, I will go back to that
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: live video and I will always share it because I
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: want people to know that I didn't just start this
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: business because I knew I would be successful. I didn't
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: start it because I was like, I'm going to make
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of money. I didn't start it because I
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: thought people are going to see me and be like,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna buy from her. I had no idea what
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: I was doing. I was just told this is what
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: you do, and it goes from there, and I trusted
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: the process. I was just willing to learn. I was
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: willing to be coached. From there, it just bloomed and
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: I constantly stay it on top of what are the trends,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: what are people moving to? Because they shifted from Facebook
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: to Instagram now it's TikTok. Social media doesn't have to
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: be scary. You just have to be willing to learn.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: And I think that's what a lot of people are
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: afraid of. They're thinking, well, I don't want to put
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: myself out there. Nobody knows unless you do put it
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: out there. And the thing is, if you're authentic, everybody's accepting.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, you know, they
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: always say thanks day forever on the Internet, which okay,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: that's true, but there's so much anymore, there's so much
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: to see, there's so much to look at. Contributing to
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: that process does nothing more but give back to you
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: and to your friends and your family. And after a while,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: it's kind of cool because it's like, oh, hey, I
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: like that video, or that was pretty funny, or wow,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: you looked really happy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Do you remember hitting live?
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That's been a big hesitation for many people when they
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: decide to go live on social media. Do you remember
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: that feeling just before you hit that live button? And
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: did you just jump right in did you wait for
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: people to join or you say I'm just going to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: do this and then when it's over, it's like a
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: rush and then you stop and then it gets posted.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: How was your feeling back then?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: You remember that?
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I remember that. So my dog Arley, which
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: a lot of people know from my Instagram and TikTok,
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: he was a puppy. We just got him about three
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: months prior. So he was just this little guy with
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: a squeaky toy and I was like, oh, I'll keep
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: him busy while I'm on a live video because I
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: expected this like perfect quiet video where I would just
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: be like, hi, I started a new business. No, I
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: had this puppy squeaking his toy wanting to jump in
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: my lap. I hit the live video and nothing happened.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: At first, I was like, is it recording? Is it going?
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it's doing. Here's this dog. And
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: then I started seeing some names pop up, so I
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, hey, are you watching? And it was
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: so new back then that even people were like, oh
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: my gosh, I am watching. Can you see me? And
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: I was like, I can't see you. I just see
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: your name.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know, it was a.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Whole new thing for all of us, Like everybody was
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: new into live videos. But I remember that rush because
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: know what was going to come from there. I think
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: my first live video was like forty five minutes. I
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: waited for people to pop up. When their names showed up,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: I would read it right away. And back then we
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: didn't know that there was like a little bit of
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: a lag, so they had already been watching for at
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: least like twenty seconds before you said their name. So
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: it was kind of one of those weird things of
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: like how do you time it right? I had no
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: idea what was going on. I just saw my face
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: and I was dealing with my dog, and I remember thinking,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: this is the worst video ever. No one's gonna watch
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: this video. Yea, to this day, we are our worst
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: critic and yeah, to this day, it's one of my
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: best videos. And I think it's just because it was
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: the most authentic I could have been. You can't fake
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: that first experience because you don't know what you're doing.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you find like the best reaction? The best
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: for growth was Facebook?
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: I would say at the beginning, it definitely was. Back then,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Facebook was the biggest thing. People were sharing videos, sharing lives,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: they were story was just new, like stories were not
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: like it is today. I personally didn't like stories because
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's certain there's certain platforms out there that
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: I just don't like. I'm a person of retention. I
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: don't like things that disappear. I want to know what
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: my conversation was. I want to know what I shared,
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: what I posted. So even back then, Facebook was the
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: place to go, that was the place to start, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: I think is more people started learning these tricks of
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: the trade and then boom twenty twenty hit. People had
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: nothing more to do than to be on their phones
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: and be at home. So there came the rise of TikTok.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Even though the TikTok era then was all about dancing
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: and showing fun things. Now it's all about education, still
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: about having fun and being authentic. But the shift and
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: change of these social media platforms has escalated exponentially. I'm
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: not a mass journey I'm not an expert, but I
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: will tell people the only thing that has made me
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: seem like that is just the will to learn, the
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: will to see these trends, the will to I read
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of articles about what's trending, what's going on.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: I watch a lot of people. I'm a very big observer.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Back then, Facebook was the best thing you could have
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: ever done for any type of communication with people that
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: are close or far away. And now it kind of
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: just depends. I mean, I think I've found what works
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: for me, and I think that's what people need to
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: look at. To you, whether you're doing this as a
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: business or you're doing it for yourself individually, find what
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: platforms you really like. I found my Top three, I've
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: mastered learning how to use all top three, and I
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: gravity and get all my clients from actually all three
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: of them. But I've kind of found my niche and
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: where it is. And so Facebook is more of like
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: my mature audience who need certain kinds of like videos, tutorials, photos, communication.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: Instagram is more for the people who want to see
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: what am I doing right now? So I share a
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: lot of my stories, a lot of my it's like
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: my reality show, right I do all of that over
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: on Instagram. And then TikTok is more if you want
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: to see me just be unhinged. I share everything from
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: coupon shopping to what my hair looked like today and
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: how it worked out or didn't work out. Everywhere I
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: have picked up clients who are like, I saw your
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: video or I really liked how you talked about this
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: while you were getting ready, and so I've just kind
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: of found what works best for me.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Have you looked at the idea of possibly YouTube or again,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: because YouTube's really trying to capture some of that audience,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: especially with the YouTube shorts and stuff. But again, you know,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: it's it's so easy to go onto Facebook and post
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: and get that engagement.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: YouTube could be a little different.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: But yet you know YouTube by Google it it kind
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: of runs the gamut.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you said that, because
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: I always forget about YouTube. I have a YouTube and
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: I did pablished it seven years ago when I started
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: doing my tutorials because they were like I was doing
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: live videos and getting ready with people on live, but
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: it ended up being like an hour long. People can't
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: sit there for an hour, not even back then. And
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: now you know, and now it's like, oh, let me
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: get ready, but I'll edit that, post it to my YouTube.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: So I have a YouTube. I just have utilized it,
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: and I do. I do want to use that because
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: the shorts is the biggest thing. I mean. I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: I even read somewhere that YouTube and TikTok are like
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: the new Google. If people are like, how do you
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: make a pizza? You look at it there, you see
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: the videos You've learned in thirty seconds.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Both success with social media can be a great thing,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: and I honestly believe it has worked for you and
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: continues to work. What do you what do you actually
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: call it? Is it followers? Sales or engagement? What kind
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: of gives you? I mean, obviously sales is great when
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: you have a business, but it seems to be the
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: big draw in using social media. It used to be
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: you had to have to have a storefront. You don't
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: really need to have a storefront for what you do.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Right now that seems to work.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: For you exactly, Yeah, I mean, and I'm learning things
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: every single day. The biggest thing for me is engagement,
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: and that's what I tell people all the time. Engagements
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: is the best thing you can do for anybody because
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: those engagements can turn into sales. The one thing I
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: always try to mentor people on is recognizing that when
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: you have a business, they're not just buying the products
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: or whatever services you're offering. They're buying you. And you
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: have to build those relationships. And those relationships come from engagement.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: And so I always encourage people, if you see my video,
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: just say hi. It takes point one of a second
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: to say hi, to hit the like button. I mean,
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: we like to make fun of those people that are like,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: why didn't you like my video? Why didn't you like
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: my post? But that's true. That is communication. It's just
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: like if you were to walk past somebody in the
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: store and not say hi. You know, somebody might say,
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: why didn't you say hi? Oh, well I saw you,
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: didn't you say hi? It's the same thing.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's really cool, Mesa is I have
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: a friend of mine that was also a former teacher
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: that lives in South Tusson Cecilia, and I had been
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: checking out your videos with that you know what, she
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: would she would love these. I shared your your posts
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and she sent me you know back, she said, oh
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: that's Mesa. She knew exactly who you were. Her cousin
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: knew you and and said everybody talks about you know,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: her videos and how cool they are. That's the kind
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: of engagement you share it. Somebody says, oh, I've watched them,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I know who that person is, so that's that's a
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: positive sign of the Internet working to help build a
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: brand or a business, right.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, thank you so much for doing that. Yeah, I
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: don't even know who sees my videos. I mean, I'm
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: aware that when I post things, I'm like, who knows
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: where it's going to end up, But I always hope
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: it ends up in the hands of somebody who really
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: needed to see it, whether they were like, I'm really
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: stuck on how I'm feeling about myself, or I really
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: want to know and learn how to apply this eyeliner.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: I want to make sure that I'm not the only
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: person in the world with dead ends and at waily
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: scalp like, I try to share everything as much as possible,
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: you know, And that's the cool thing about social media
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: and the Internet. You only share what you want to share.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: And a lot of people they might look at my
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: videos and think they know everything about me. They don't.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: They just know everything that I share, and everything that
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: I share is makeup skincare business. I'm now starting to
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: evolve into talking about money how to save it. What
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: products are out there that I recommend, even if it's
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: something not in my business that I sell. I've built
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: my business one hundred percent on authenticity for the last
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: seven years, and if that means I don't get paid,
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: that's fine. As long as I get that engagement, as
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: long as I get that relationship, That's what I'm really
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: searching for. And I think that's what people need to
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: recognize what social media is about. It's called social media
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: because you're there to be social with people, and so
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: I think it's one of the greatest tools ever. And
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: if anybody's ever thought considered or sat on the idea
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: of starting a business, absolutely, if you want a brick
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: and mortar, go for it. But if you really want
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: to test the waters, start it on social media. And
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: you don't have to be a master at all the platforms.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: Start with what you're comfortable at. Start to know how
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: to use the tools, how to edit. Every single platform
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: that we have from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, they all have
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: their own editing tools that are free. You don't have
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: to go out of your way to buy apps, to
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: buy programs. Just learn what's right at your fingertips and
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: once you become this master and then you make all
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: this money, or you have a successful business and you
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: can invest in some other things. Start somewhere, baby steps.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: If you hit the ground running and then it like
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: comes to a halt, you're going to feel discouraged.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: From that first video, MESA, did you have like, Okay,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: I've got to do one tomorrow or was it more
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: when I want to do it? I mean, some people
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: will try and post three four times a day others.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: You know, where you find that cadence in how often
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: you're going to be posting.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: When I first started, so after the first horrendous live video,
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: I was I actually loved being live. It was my favorite.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: So I think I don't remember going live every single day,
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: but I know I had made it a point to
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: at least make an appearance. So if I weren't, you know,
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: going live, I would share a picture or I would
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: make sure to comment on people. You know, there's there's
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: something about having a presence on social media so people
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: can know that you're still there. So even if I
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: didn't share a live video or a post, I was
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: still at least acknowledging other people liking their photos, liking
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: their videos, or if they like reached out to me,
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: I'd make sure I'd reach back, whether it's a DM
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: or a comment. You know, I'm over here saying be social,
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: so in turn, I need to be social. And I
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: think that's another hack that a lot of people who
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: are new to this can actually learn, is not every
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: day you're going to feel like getting up and showing up.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: There's plenty of times, even seven years in that I'm like,
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: I don't feel good, i don't like how I look,
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: I'm feeling down, or I'm in a hurry, which is
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: me ninety percent of the time. I'm always rushing everywhere
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: I go. I don't go live every single day, even
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: to this day with everything shifting and changing. I share
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: what I can when I can. But if I can
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: show up like my face, then I make sure to
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: comment on people and to show them some love on
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: their social media accounts, just so they see whatever I'm
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: putting out there. I'm hoping to get back. But you know,
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: keeping up with that social that social status of the platform, whatever.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: That engagement, So you're still engaging, You'll.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Be posting, you're still engaging with the social media. If
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: there was you know, one bit of advice mesa for
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: somebody that is listening to I want to do something
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: like this, whether it be you know how to fix
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: a car or how to you know how to do
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: this in your house, or you know, or they have
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: another business service idea, what kind of what bit of
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: advice would you give them?
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Well, first, any time I mentor anybody, if they're interested
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: in sharing things on social media, I always tell them
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: to find one thing that they absolutely love, one thing
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: that they're absolutely passionate about. And there's a lot of
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: people who are like, well, I love a bunch of things. Okay, great,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: So find one thing that you feel like you could
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: talk about for hours. Once you find that one thing,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: break it down into pieces. So if it is like
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: they want to show how you build a car, okay,
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: where do you start. Do you start with the drawing
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: of the car? Do you start with like, these are
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: my inspiration of colors, this is how I want it
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: to look like, break it down into bite sized pieces.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: And this is something I learned and now as a teacher.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: When you have something as a whole, when you break
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: it down into little chunks, you have content for days
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: and all you're talking about is one thing and so
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: that's one thing I always share with people is social
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: media is your friend. It's like AI, it's a tool.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: It's there to help us. It only shares and shows
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: what you allow it to. So if you want to
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: talk about a car, break it down to all the
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: things you can talk about about a car. If you
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: want to talk about makeup, focus on one thing about makeup,
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: and there's tons of things that you can post and
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: give content to. I'm seven years in the game, so
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: of course, my one thing we always like to say
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: in our mentorship is my chapter seven is never going
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: to compare to your chapter one. We all start somewhere,
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: we all begin, you know, at a place where we
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: feel lost or we don't know where to go. And
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: the best thing you can do is just to give
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: it a shot. And you're going to learn, you're going
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: to make mistakes, you're going to feel down, you're going
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: to feel unmotivated, you're going to feel discouraged a lot
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: of times. But if you just keep going and keep
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: pushing through that, it's amazing what comes of it. Even
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: till this day. I mean I think even beginning of
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: this year, I thought to myself, is this the last
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: year of my business, like I just feel like I've
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: outgrown it, or maybe there's times that I don't feel
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: that I'm really doing what I thought I would be doing,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: or I'm fulfilling that purpose, and those moments where I've
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: just given back to myself so I could feel better
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: and show it better. For my business, I've made sales
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know that I made. I've built clientele
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: and booked prom hair services and wedding services. Yeah, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: I haven't even been sharing any new content. I'm right
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: now in this phase of sharing recycled content because I
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: have some things that are like five years old, but
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: I think they're great, so I'm going to share it
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: again because I'm sure there's a new batch of people
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: who are seeing my platforms and they've never seen it before,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: and they're not going to scroll to five years ago
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: worth of content. So there's nothing wrong with recycling once
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: you get to this point. But you know, in those
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: moments of feeling like you need to give up or
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: you need to move on, you never know who's watching,
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: and if you're staying engaged and if you're just staying present,
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: all of those things will come back to you. So
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: anybody who thought about doing this or is contemplating about
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: doing this. I definitely say find one thing that you
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: love and just get started. You don't know what it's
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: going to turn into, you don't know what's going to
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: come out of it unless you just give it a shot.
• 49:19

  Speaker 3: Slash Gordon, and you were listening to tech Talk Radio.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: So back in twenty eleven, I got a chance to
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: go to kamakn in San Diego and it they announced
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: that it was going to be the ten year reunion
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: for Firefly Show.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: Really yeah, because it aired two one, or maybe.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: It was twenty twelve, a little bit twenty twelve not
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: two thy eleven. Anyways, I loved Firefly like I watched
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: it and watched Surroundity when I was in college, Like
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: it was. I love science fiction, you know that. And
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: so they announced that they was going to be at
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: kama Con, which was mega deal. So I ended up going,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: getting in line and staying overnight in line to be
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: able to go in and watch the Firefly tenth anniversary,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: so you can look that one up online.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: It's here. But last week there were cryptic trailers and
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: cryptic Instagram posts from Nathan Filly and Gina Torres, a
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: bunch of the other people on two a bunch of
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: other people from Firefly teasing what could be a new
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: project regarding Firefly. They finally at Awesome Con announced that
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: they are in development of a Firefly animated series that
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: will feature the majority of the original voice cast for Firefly,
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: which is pretty cool, and that it will live in
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: Cannon between the ending of the original series and the movie, So.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Firefly we can finally say coming back, but it would
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: be an animated series, which people tea seem to like.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Will it be network or is this something we'd probably
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: see on Netflix or I'm not sure yet.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: I think they're trying to find a home for it,
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: so they've been they've been teasing that. They've been teasing
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: it for a couple of weeks and finally announced it.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: So I'm not sure where it's going to live yet.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: But seems like it has the blessing from a lot
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: of the people.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Have some good showrunners on it, so excited. There's been
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: a handful of other good animated series that have come out,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: you know, the critical role of voxmockt a mighty nine
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: series has.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: Been really good. Yeah, other're good animated series out there too,
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: so well, of course it's good.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: The k Pop thing was huge Netflix, well, I end
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: it won an Oscar so it was a little sad
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: for Sony because they let it go very cheaply. I
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: think it cost them one hundred million to make. They
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: sold the rights for twenty million. And Netflix has just
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: been it's been really successful.
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: It's been very successful.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's it for this week's show. Justin
• 54:19
