- 0:14Speaker 1: which means I talk really fast and you must listen
- 0:17Speaker 1: even faster. My number eight two one nine eight eighty
- 0:20Speaker 1: six A two one w TV. And You're always welcome
- 0:23Speaker 1: when I am on the air. I'll do my best
- 0:24Speaker 1: to get you in if you get a line. I
- 0:26Speaker 1: was just looking over the auction going on sea busbids
- 0:29Speaker 1: dot Com. I don't know if you look at you
- 0:31Speaker 1: this or not, Zach, but they've got some cool stuff
- 0:33Speaker 1: on there. Worthington Jewelers. There's one thousand dollars gift certificate
- 0:36Speaker 1: for Worthington Jewels Jewelers on there, and Lego Land Family Passes,
- 0:42Speaker 1: even a private private room golf simulator, which I Blazer
- 0:47Speaker 1: was just drooling over earlier. But Sea bus bids dot Com,
- 0:53Speaker 1: that's where you want to go, and you can, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 1: maybe pick a great deal on an auction item. Maybe
- 0:58Speaker 1: I can pick up a great deal on a new
- 0:59Speaker 1: cell phone contract. I had the Queen's phone. First of all,
- 1:04Speaker 1: I have a deep contempt for Apple products. Okay, we
- 1:06Speaker 1: all know that. We know that, don't we. Yeah, we
- 1:09Speaker 1: all know that. So she's been having an SCU lately,
- 1:16Speaker 1: as have I. Well, my CU is different. I have
- 1:18Speaker 1: lots of them, but I keep getting the message on
- 1:22Speaker 1: there that, uh, you know your your iCloud is iPhone
- 1:27Speaker 1: memory is full or whatever, and so nothing works. You
- 1:32Speaker 1: have to you know, you can't use voice text or
- 1:36Speaker 1: pages that the screen doesn't respond when you're trying to
- 1:39Speaker 1: flip pages or what. It just a pain in that
- 1:42Speaker 1: took us. And so I finally found last night a
- 1:46Speaker 1: way to go in where you can manage video storage
- 1:50Speaker 1: and uh and photo storage. The thing of it is
- 1:53Speaker 1: is it doesn't give you the opportunity to like upload
- 1:55Speaker 1: it to a dropbox account or share it to a
- 1:59Speaker 1: And then so I hook up a USB between my
- 2:03Speaker 1: phone and my laptop, and I've gotten an external hard drive.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So I'm transferring everything over from the phone to this
- 2:11Speaker 1: extra and all the folders transfer. But then I go
- 2:15Speaker 1: in and there's zero data. So it's not actually transferring
- 2:18Speaker 1: the pictures in the videos. It's just transferring the empty folders,
- 2:23Speaker 1: which is not helpful. Leader, so I started deleting stuff
- 2:27Speaker 1: because that was my only choice.
- 2:29Speaker 2: What it didn't transfer, No.
- 2:32Speaker 1: It doesn't.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I'm so if you transfer your stuff from your phone
- 2:37Speaker 2: to the computer and you delete everything off your phone,
- 2:40Speaker 2: it's all gone.
- 2:41Speaker 1: It's not on the computer, it's gone. Right, you're doing
- 2:44Speaker 1: something right. I just get no data in any of
- 2:46Speaker 1: the folders when I go, and the know it says
- 2:48Speaker 1: this folder contains no data. So yeah, pain In then
- 2:52Speaker 1: took this, so that in itself, that's annoying enough. And
- 2:56Speaker 1: then plus the fact that you know it won't let
- 2:58Speaker 1: me close out a screen or like I say, use
- 3:02Speaker 1: the voice text or anything like that. So then the
- 3:06Speaker 1: Queen's phone, hers, hers is a little bit newer. I've
- 3:09Speaker 1: got the twelve pro and she's got what does she have? Thirteen?
- 3:14Speaker 1: I think it is. And so hers will, like arbitrarily
- 3:19Speaker 1: just start playing iHeart just for no reason, even if
- 3:23Speaker 1: it's not open, the iHeart app just starts playing. So
- 3:26Speaker 1: I can't believe. Please don't tell my boss, But I said,
- 3:28Speaker 1: just delete the iHeart app, take it off of there,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and then we'll put it back on later. Maybe it
- 3:33Speaker 1: just needs to be removed completely. So I had her
- 3:36Speaker 1: delete the iHeart app. And then last night she comes out.
- 3:40Speaker 1: She was talking to the princess and all of a
- 3:43Speaker 1: sudden her phone is taken over with audio. We're listening
- 3:48Speaker 1: to people talking, other people talk, and it's not like
- 3:53Speaker 1: a phone call that we're listening to. We're hearing these
- 3:56Speaker 1: people like they're all just you know, sitting next to
- 3:59Speaker 1: each other table with microphones. It was strange like a podcast. Yes, yes,
- 4:06Speaker 1: very crystal clear. You could hear everything. One guy was
- 4:09Speaker 1: griping about paying his rent and not having his child
- 4:11Speaker 1: support money, and then we heard the police sirens going
- 4:16Speaker 1: by as they were talking. Then we heard a police
- 4:18Speaker 1: helicopter and then one of the girls said, oh, that
- 4:21Speaker 1: dude has a rifle. They were over on my beloved
- 4:25Speaker 1: West Side at the scene of that swat incident where
- 4:29Speaker 1: somebody was at a got stabbed. I guess at an
- 4:31Speaker 1: apartment complex. I used to deliver newspapers in that apartment
- 4:34Speaker 1: building at Broad in Belvedere. And so they are down
- 4:40Speaker 1: there and they are on the Citizen Crime app and
- 4:47Speaker 1: they're doing a live on the Citizen Crime app showing
- 4:51Speaker 1: this event going on. But they weren't even like they
- 4:54Speaker 1: just had They were just talking while they were recording
- 4:58Speaker 1: or had the camera on. We could hear everything they said,
- 5:01Speaker 1: and it was well at one point. Finally, after a while,
- 5:06Speaker 1: because we couldn't turn them off, I emptied all her
- 5:09Speaker 1: apps were off, there was nothing on it, but we
- 5:12Speaker 1: couldn't turn off their sound. And so finally the girl goes, oh, girl,
- 5:17Speaker 1: you know we on the Citizen now. So I'm like,
- 5:21Speaker 1: so wait a minute. That's that's how I figured out
- 5:23Speaker 1: how where this audio is coming from. This was freaky
- 5:28Speaker 1: because we and I'm trying to talk to him in
- 5:31Speaker 1: the phone hello, because I it didn't make any sense,
- 5:37Speaker 1: but we couldn't figure out anything to do except okay,
- 5:41Speaker 1: we got to delete the Citizen app from her phone now,
- 5:44Speaker 1: but it's like her phone just if it has audio
- 5:46Speaker 1: attached to it, just out of nowhere, We'll just start
- 5:49Speaker 1: playing stuff.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Did you you can close the app like manually?
- 5:54Speaker 1: Yes, it was closed manually. Everything was. I empty closed everything.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I eliminated all the windows. Everything was closed on that phone.
- 6:04Speaker 1: The phone was powered on, but there were no active apps,
- 6:08Speaker 1: but we could not get that audio to shut off.
- 6:11Speaker 1: So at this point, before I knew it was the
- 6:14Speaker 1: Citizen app, I'm trying to figure out exactly what the
- 6:16Speaker 1: heck it is so I try to contact the cellular carrier,
- 6:20Speaker 1: which I haven't had to do in a while. I
- 6:22Speaker 1: try to avoid that stuff, just talking to people in general. Really,
- 6:27Speaker 1: But so I go into the cell app on my phone,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and I've got the option I can let AI answer
- 6:36Speaker 1: my questions for me, or I can text chat with someone. Well,
- 6:41Speaker 1: of course I've got a tight because my voice text
- 6:43Speaker 1: isn't working because mind phone is a piece of craft.
- 6:46Speaker 1: And so I finally get somebody on a text chat,
- 6:51Speaker 1: which I hate. If it's bad enough that I need
- 6:55Speaker 1: to call you and ask for help, I need to
- 6:57Speaker 1: talk to somebody. Is that out a line? Is that
- 6:59Speaker 1: out of the question.
- 7:00Speaker 2: No, it's your you own it.
- 7:02Speaker 1: They should. I'm just saying, if I'm competent, if it
- 7:08Speaker 1: has reached a stage where I need help, then I
- 7:11Speaker 1: need help. I don't need AI. I don't need a
- 7:15Speaker 1: chat box. I need somebody to pick up the phone,
- 7:19Speaker 1: identify themselves with a typical Midwestern name, even though I
- 7:22Speaker 1: know they're not, and help me. Thank you. How many
- 7:26Speaker 1: of my put in customer service my name is Bill
- 7:30Speaker 1: may help you. You know it's not Bill, but still
- 7:34Speaker 1: you take what you can get. But I ended up
- 7:36Speaker 1: in a chat with somebody trying to figure out what
- 7:39Speaker 1: this was, and that's when the girl finally goes, girl,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you know, we own citizen, and that's when I figured out, okay,
- 7:44Speaker 1: we just got to delete the citizen. That So it's
- 7:47Speaker 1: been a technicolo between the phones and the bat in
- 7:51Speaker 1: the bathroom this morning. I've had a heck of a Monday.
- 7:54Speaker 1: How you doing, man? Everything?
- 7:56Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm trying to figure out. Like I've had
- 8:00Speaker 2: that before, but I've just closed an app or whatever
- 8:02Speaker 2: and it went back to normal. I've never had it
- 8:05Speaker 2: where it just keeps playing and playing and playing and playing.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Yeah, would not stop, would not stop. Plus here's something
- 8:11Speaker 1: while I'm griping, here's something else. Because I've always been
- 8:14Speaker 1: an Android guy until now. With Android, you just you
- 8:18Speaker 1: push the button, you power down, you push the button
- 8:20Speaker 1: you power up. With Apple, you have to hold the
- 8:23Speaker 1: one button on one side and the other button on
- 8:25Speaker 1: the other side, and you have to just turn it off.
- 8:27Speaker 1: You can't restart it. You have to shut it completely
- 8:31Speaker 1: down and then bring it back up again. But if
- 8:33Speaker 1: you piss push the wrong button or or maybe pissed
- 8:37Speaker 1: is the right word at this point, uh, the wrong
- 8:39Speaker 1: then all you keep doing is taking screenshots so I
- 8:42Speaker 1: you know, so I'm.
- 8:44Speaker 2: How many screenshots?
- 8:45Speaker 1: Do you like? Four or five screenshots of my screen
- 8:50Speaker 1: before I? Oh? No, I got to push that other button,
- 8:52Speaker 1: don't I? And yeah, man, it's I don't know. I
- 8:57Speaker 1: like my iPad.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I can try and fix your phone for you if
- 9:03Speaker 2: I if I bring in my laptop, but I mean
- 9:05Speaker 2: I don't want all your stuff on my laptop.
- 9:08Speaker 1: No, because there's a lot of questionable material that could
- 9:10Speaker 1: get you in trouble with the I understand Tom Holman
- 9:13Speaker 1: shall wet up at your door and uh.
- 9:15Speaker 2: But it should be as easy as like you plug
- 9:17Speaker 2: it in. Do you trust this computer on your phone?
- 9:20Speaker 1: Yes?
- 9:20Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it should just start transferring.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And I did exactly that even with a you know,
- 9:25Speaker 1: I have a terabyte external hard drive that I was
- 9:27Speaker 1: putting everything to and couldn't even do that. That's weird.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Is your phone not to be that guy? As your
- 9:33Speaker 1: phone updated as update? There is an update available, but
- 9:38Speaker 1: because of the storage, it won't update the the thing either.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Much is there? It's only a one twenty eight phone,
- 9:48Speaker 1: so right, how much can I don't know? But the
- 9:51Speaker 1: update size is like four trillion kill terabytes or at
- 9:56Speaker 1: something else. With Apple, why's all their stuff got to
- 9:58Speaker 1: be so big? Why is everything so large? By the
- 10:03Speaker 1: time you get done putting the mandatory stuff on your
- 10:06Speaker 1: phone for it to operate as it's supposed to operate,
- 10:09Speaker 1: you've taken up all your hard drive space. You've got
- 10:11Speaker 1: to have an enhanced hard drive just in order to
- 10:14Speaker 1: have your own stuff on there. I'm just saying.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I mean mine started to get full, and I paid
- 10:22Speaker 2: ninety nine cents for like every month for so many gigaby.
- 10:27Speaker 1: That's what they want you to do, is to pay
- 10:29Speaker 1: extra money. I'm already paying for Google Drive and Google
- 10:33Speaker 1: One and and I pay too much for too much
- 10:37Speaker 1: crap that I don't even know what the hell Google
- 10:39Speaker 1: one is. I just pay for it. I just have it.
- 10:42Speaker 1: It's just there, but I'm not sure how to use it.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I thought when I subscribed to it, it was something
- 10:49Speaker 1: where I could get a bunch of space and like
- 10:51Speaker 1: share my crap and the queen's crap and maybe even
- 10:55Speaker 1: some of the kids crap to one drive. That's the
- 10:59Speaker 1: name Google one, right, And it hasn't worked out that way.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Well, that's not I don't know anything about good because
- 11:06Speaker 2: Android's inferior, but I just have to I mean, I
- 11:10Speaker 2: might have to play with it sometime.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And I've had my phone. Look, can you tell can
- 11:13Speaker 1: you see this? My phone is ringing right now? Yeah,
- 11:16Speaker 1: this is the second call I've had today while I've
- 11:18Speaker 1: been on the air. Both calls have been from people
- 11:20Speaker 1: who know I'm on the air every day from three
- 11:22Speaker 1: to seven. Well answer it. And they're calling while they
- 11:25Speaker 1: know better. Do you want me to answer it? You
- 11:29Speaker 1: know what, don't tempt me. Don't tempt me. It's my phone,
- 11:34Speaker 1: so I can't answer it on the air. But if
- 11:36Speaker 1: it wasn't my phone it was a company vone, I
- 11:37Speaker 1: would answer it on the air and just go, yeah,
- 11:40Speaker 1: so you know I'm on the radio right now, right,
- 11:43Speaker 1: you are a lot just I'm just saying I'm on
- 11:46Speaker 1: the radio right now, and you knew that before you called.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I actually just had somebody touch base with me the
- 11:51Speaker 1: other day on Facebook and say, uh, well was because
- 11:54Speaker 1: I made I said something funny. I forget what it was,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but anyway, they haven't talked to me in like a
- 11:59Speaker 1: year and half for exactly that reason. They called me
- 12:04Speaker 1: One day I was I was hosting l EPDs on
- 12:08Speaker 1: Target show. So not only am I on the air live,
- 12:13Speaker 1: but I'm also in front of a group of people
- 12:15Speaker 1: who come to sit in in the store and watch
- 12:19Speaker 1: on Target every week. And my phone starts ringing, so
- 12:23Speaker 1: I answered it. I'm like, hey, hey, hello, on the
- 12:26Speaker 1: air right now, we're doing live radio. I have to
- 12:28Speaker 1: get back to you later. And this person got upset
- 12:31Speaker 1: with me that I did that instead of just letting
- 12:34Speaker 1: my phone ring while I was on the air. You're
- 12:37Speaker 1: on the air and they haven't talked to me for
- 12:39Speaker 1: a year and a half until just this past week
- 12:41Speaker 1: and I got a message from him.
- 12:42Speaker 2: But it's not like a podcast where you can polse it.
- 12:47Speaker 1: It was live radio. Yes, keep going, that's live. That's
- 12:50Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's here. It was. It was it
- 12:53Speaker 1: was mandatory, and I couldn't get the phone ringer off,
- 12:56Speaker 1: so I had no choice. I had to get the
- 12:58Speaker 1: phone to stop making noise because we were live on
- 13:00Speaker 1: the air in front of a live audience with that phone.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Might have been I can't remember. Just click the volume
- 13:08Speaker 1: down once and it should mute it. No, there's a
- 13:10Speaker 1: little switch on the side. Oh yeah, there's a little
- 13:14Speaker 1: switch on this I mean, either way, it's the volume button.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It should anyway. I hate Apple products. So we have
- 13:23Speaker 1: been talking basically for most of the last three hours
- 13:25Speaker 1: while I was in here with Mark, talking about the
- 13:27Speaker 1: situation in Los Angeles. If you feel the need, I
- 13:31Speaker 1: will not discourage you, but honestly, I'm kind of sick
- 13:36Speaker 1: of it. I'm all we could do at this point
- 13:38Speaker 1: is stand back and watch. The rhetoric is ridiculous. People
- 13:43Speaker 1: are setting stuff on fire, and throwing things at law enforcement,
- 13:47Speaker 1: and dropping molotov cocktails and and busting out windows of
- 13:52Speaker 1: government buildings and all of this stuff. And somehow, some way,
- 13:57Speaker 1: the left wing powers that be in the state of California.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I believe it's Donald Trump's fault for saying we need
- 14:04Speaker 1: to react to it, We need to do something
