Happy to read twenty four March madness. A number of things 8 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:56.159 going on. How about this sports weekend in the city of Houston. If 9 00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.520 you are listening from age down right now? Gorgeous weather. We've got the 10 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.280 Texas Children's used to open the University of Cougars and the Elite eight. We 11 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.280 have got the Astros that just kicked off the rockets are doing well. Can 12 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.079 there any it? Can anything else go wrong? Actually? Better? Well, 13 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.239 one thing may not be the greatest week. And I'm gonna give you 14 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.959 a little behind the scenes baseball, a little baseball. If for some reason 15 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.280 I sound a little different, Is this okay? And I need to check 16 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.200 callum, is okay if I give my hip out, if I talk about 17 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:36.560 my health, is this okay? I'm gonna sound a little weird, and 18 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.480 I probably do. And as a guy with a sexy radio voice and of 19 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:46.120 course a sexy TV face, awso yeah whatever. Probably not the best I've 20 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.680 ever sounded in the twenty two years I've been here on the radio. Earlier 21 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.799 this week, I went through a procedure. That's it's I don't know, 22 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.280 it's semi common. Many of you may have gone through it. But I 23 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:06.120 had deviated septum surgery is it? Is it surgery or is it a procedure? 24 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.479 I don't know. The surgery is a very strong word, and I, 25 00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.599 in my fifty plus years of life, have never had surgery, and 26 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.479 so I'm very cautious to use the word surgery so I can keep my streak 27 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.960 going. But I was put out. I was sleeping for the first time 28 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.319 of my life, you know, really put out with like this IV and 29 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.520 I woke up, I don't know, an hour and a half two hours 30 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.960 later, and uh, this is what I saund like. I have got 31 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.879 stints in my nose and it's not a sexy thing. It is not as 32 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.960 as any. But maybe you guys could talk with you know, for twenty 33 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.560 two years, I have talked to you through issues. I've answered questions for 34 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.800 you. I've I've given you know, almost half my life for you people. 35 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.080 Somebody freaking help me out? Is this gonna get better? Am I 36 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.960 gotta smell better? Am I gonna breathe better? Because you know my self, 37 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.560 which is my nose. It was just not straight. This is not 38 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.599 a nose job, I swear. But I tell you what, if this 39 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280 is even anywhere near what a nose job feels like, I am never getting 40 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.199 another piece of my body worked on. It was. The procedure was okay, 41 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.240 I guess, But it's been three days, I guess since I'm trying 42 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.599 to get through this thing and it's it's a little pressure. I need to 43 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.840 get these stints out of my nose. It's tough to breathe. I've got 44 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.280 a kind of a headache. But other than that, hey man, I 45 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.520 am here for you. I'm not one to complain. I am actually one 46 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.360 to complain. Who the hell am I talking about? Seven one three, 47 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.199 two one two five nine five. Oh. They told me when I started 48 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:42.840 radio that some of the factors of people turning away, turning off the radio. 49 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.919 The number one factor of people turning off your radio is bad reception. 50 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.680 If you're listening over the ear, and it happens a lot on AM radio 51 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.759 too, and if you hear a lot of static, people just turn the 52 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.319 radio. I have to assume if you don't like your the person's voice, 53 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.919 or maybe you don't like the content or the topic, that's going to do 54 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.599 it too. Hopefully you guys can suck it up with me. You could 55 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.680 still tell it as me. It is Michael Garfield, and I'm gonna see 56 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.800 if I can make it through these next two hours. I cannot. You 57 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:21.319 know, the killer for me is I cannot exercise for two weeks. That 58 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.879 to me, when they told me this is like I had a debate the 59 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:31.000 ROI over here. I mean, is it worth getting this done so I 60 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.000 don't get a sinus infection anymore and I can breathe these here? And what 61 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.560 I man? I can't two weeks? I mean I could walk, but 62 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.800 walking does not exercise for me. I mean no running, no biking, 63 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.160 no just it's it's it's tough. I can't get my heart rate up now 64 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.920 going to the gym. That that is going to be a tough one. 65 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.439 And so that's that's the craziest thing for me. It's weird, but we 66 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.920 do continue. I will give you the phone number. I mean, you 67 00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.560 can give me your war stories of what is the craziest surgery you've ever been 68 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.959 through? And hopefully you you give me some uh uh some some great outlooks 69 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.160 and out then takes on the bright side. How maybe one day it's gonna 70 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.759 be better. Seven one three two one two, five nine five. I'm 71 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.040 looking at these guys. It's it's my It's me. It's just the voice 72 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.120 is a little bit weird, folks. We do have a number of things 73 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.439 to talk about. There is a new Android update for all you older Android 74 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:27.079 phone You're gonna get AI finally on your Android phones. Uh, we've got 75 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.519 a little Apple lawsuit. I'll tell you what that is. And uh are 76 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.160 you I want to talk about the solar eclipse. Are you gonna go outside 77 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.600 and watch the solar clips? There's there's there's it's not hard to go see 78 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.000 it. It's coming up and about it's on uh Monday, April eighth, 79 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.240 all across well, it's gonna be I have a swath across the United States, 80 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.000 but it's gonna be very, very heavily concentrated in Texas. In the 81 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.439 Houston area, we're gonna get a partial of it. But if for all 82 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.439 my listeners up in Dallas, my parents, you're gonna get almost day a 83 00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.720 full eclipse. Is anybody driving anywhere that Monday early afternoon so they can get 84 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.920 four and a half minutes of darkness, which generally we get about what eight 85 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.199 nine to ten hours of darkness every single night. So I don't know. 86 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.560 I will give you some apps actually to help you track that. I will 87 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.040 take your phone calls, you know the phone number. I have a review 88 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.000 of the latest vehicle. I was driving latest vehicle I was because I do 89 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.879 reviews for cars and trucks. I was at a beautiful beast. I was 90 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:31.360 in a brand new twenty twenty four land Rover Defender Outbound. It was the 91 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.680 outbound version. It's a matted gray Man. This thing was big. It 92 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:43.759 is so big. It had a retractable ladder accessory on its side. So 93 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.439 if I wanted to climb up to the top of it and put some stuff 94 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.360 on the roof luggage tract, it had a ladder on there. That's how 95 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.160 big it was. I will tell you if that's worth it is it worth 96 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.839 the cost? And if you are looking for any type of vehicle, no 97 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.519 matter what it is. So this is what I've done for fifty years. 98 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.199 I have previewed almost a car or a vehicle every single week. That is 99 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.639 a lot of that stuff. I have not paid for this, So I 100 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.279 do not give you a dealership. I just give you my thoughts on the 101 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.800 manufacturers as they let me drive these things for one week at a time. 102 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.079 That and other fun stuff. We will get to a little sports for a 103 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.480 u Astros fan. Rangers fans, they started off well for your world champion. 104 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.040 By the way, there is a world champion Major League Baseball team here 105 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.920 in the state of Texas. It is up in Arlington. Do have a 106 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.240 lot of listeners up there, so I do thank you for that. April 107 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:36.240 comes around, and by the way, real quickly, Happy Early Easter Friday. 108 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:40.279 Yesterday was good Friday? Was it a good Friday? If you are 109 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.319 off of work. I still don't really understand the whole good Friday Easter thing. 110 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.759 It's just because I don't really celebrate it. All I know is Monday 111 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.319 one of my favorite days of the year. When Easter candy is on sale, 112 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.199 and we will go through some of the best and worst Easter candy, 113 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.360 which I do every single year. Michael is the name, Michael Garfield. 114 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.399 The little stuff up, A little deviated septum a surgery. Hopefully we will 115 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.399 heal and I will sound myself at some point soon. You can find me 116 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.199 at high tech tex dot com and we will be back after this. Don't 117 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.639 go anywhere. Just like that big boy said, it is called the High 118 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.079 Tech textan show. Oh, we do so much more than talk about technology. 119 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.480 We talk about life, fund consumer lifestyle, we talk about sports, 120 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.639 We talk about surgeries. I do excuse the way my voice is coming out. 121 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.039 I had a little procedure on the O the nose. It is not 122 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.000 a nose job. And if there's any indication of this is what surgery feels 123 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.320 like, because this is I guess, deviated septum surgery. Is it a 124 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.840 surgery or such a procedure? What's the difference? Could someone do a quick 125 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.320 Google search, calum could somebody can? We want to have one of our 126 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:56.399 crack staff. The difference between a procedure or surgery or is a surgery a 127 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.639 subset of a procedure. Technically, I guess it is because this is the 128 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.720 first in my life surgery I have, which is I guess it's a good 129 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.519 thing for some guy in his fifties. This first time I've really ever been 130 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.480 out under anesthesia for a while, and it, uh, it was. 131 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.799 It was a good sleep, but a little pain and the and the schnas 132 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.600 right now and hopefully that will be gone. All right, enough of my 133 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.039 hip, But you really don't need to do that. Happy Easter to those 134 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.840 I know there's a it's it's it's Easter is about It's about food. I 135 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.480 guess right, you got an Easter Easter brunch tomorrow. And uh, I 136 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.200 can't taste a lot right now because I've got well again. I have to 137 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.200 talk about my nose, and I apologize for this. I have these stints. 138 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.720 They're like straws up my up my nose to keep my passageways open of 139 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.200 my septum or my and they're in there till like Tuesday, and so I'm 140 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:58.440 stuffed up and then you can't really taste. So all the yummy stuff that 141 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.000 eat on Easter brunch morning you can't taste. And is what is a traditional 142 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.320 Easter brunch, I ham, which I don't eat eggs. I assume I 143 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.600 love eggs mombosas. That's great. By the way, tomorrow you do not 144 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:16.840 have any plans. I know sadly where I will not be because it's not 145 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.320 I don't really since I can't eat tasted, what what am I doing? 146 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.120 But I would be at the Capitol Grill. Shout out to Steve Jost, 147 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.320 a good friend. He is a managing partner partner of the Capitol Grill in 148 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.159 the Gallery area West Timor and Sage. Every year, they just they just 149 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.360 pack it in. They just pack it in and they've got the ham, 150 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.559 the eggs, Benedict, they got stuff for kids too. You do have 151 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.639 to make reservations and so you do have a time for that. And by 152 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.559 the way, he eats something for me, eat something for me. This 153 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.679 is actually a great way to diet for me. If it's kind of like 154 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.879 to have COVID. When I had COVID, what time or twice I couldn't 155 00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.440 taste and I couldn't smell. And if you've ever had that since, or 156 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.840 a sensationless of not tasting or not smelling, it is, without a doubt, 157 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:13.320 the greatest diet you can go on wagovy ozimpic, whatever these drugs are 158 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.879 called. They have nothing on losing your taste, your sense of smelling, 159 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.440 your sense of taste, because quite simply, if you cannot taste anything that 160 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.039 goes in your mouth, anything, why in the world are you wasting on 161 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.600 our calories. There's no reason to eat a Reese's peanut butter cup. There's 162 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.200 no reason to have a steak. There's no reason to having it bourbon or 163 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.879 anything none, because the only thing that goes in your mouth it better be 164 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.240 fuel, it better be protein. It just keeps you going. It's phenomenal. 165 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.080 If I was a doctor and if I wanted to weight loss drug, 166 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.440 I would remove somebody's sense of smell and sense of taste. That is the 167 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.320 ultimate way to actually lose weight. That is what's going on with me right 168 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.600 now. So I don't know, maybe it's actually it is a blessing. 169 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.759 In discs seven one, three, two, one, two, five, 170 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.600 nine five, we will talk about Easter candy and I'm having a little poll 171 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.720 over here.

Generally I wait till later in the week when they go to ninety 177 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.759 percent off.

It's as simple as that. 179 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.559 Now, listen, I know there's about twenty eight different races. Is 180 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.799 from Easter eggs to whatever. Reeses is number one, and Peeps is the 181 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.320 dead awful last. Where where do you seed jelly beans? Is that? 182 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.919 Is that? Like?

Sure, so this will be on sale Monday, and 184 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.919 for some reason you do see one a hell of deal on Reese's that you 185 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.879 could make sure that you pop me a note or I'll post it at high 186 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.039 tech texts And Hi g h T E c h T e x a N. 187 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.200 Should we talk about something android people? Which is me? This just 188 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:20.519 so the latest and greatest Android foam The Samsung Galaxy S twenty four, the 189 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.480 S twenty four plus the S twenty four Ultra. They came out earlier this 190 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.519 year, and one of their features it's called Galaxy AI. Of course it's 191 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.120 AI because those are the two sexiest letters in the freaking world right now, 192 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.200 Artificial induligence, whatever. And there are some neat features that I am that 193 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.159 I have used on the Galaxy S twenty four AI, but it was only 194 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.320 for the Galaxy S twenty four. A lot of you people didn't upgrade to 195 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.960 the S twenty four. A lot of you people out there may have the 196 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.919 Galaxy S twenty three. They have the Galaxy Z Full five, the Z 197 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.919 Flip five. You could use some of the AI features. Guess what, 198 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.720 True to its promise, Sam Suck started rolling out the upgrade, so those 199 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:11.080 older phones do get the new software with Galaxy AI. The new upgrade it 200 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.799 is the update. It's called the one UI six point one. Not that 201 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.919 you need to know, but if you see an upgrade to your older phone, 202 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.720 you may want to download it. Pretty good features, one of which 203 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.960 I love is called Circle to search anything on your phone. If there is 204 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.679 a photo on your phone, if there is a word on your phone, 205 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.200 you swipe up and it kind of freezes your phone, freezes whatever's on the 206 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.840 screen. You take your finger and you circle it and you'll see a circle 207 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.639 just kind of come up. It will search on the web whatever it is. 208 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.039 It'll look for the photo, it'll research. It's pretty good. Little 209 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.840 use of artificial intelligence. They've got Live Translate. There's an interpreter thing in 210 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:05.519 the there's a chat assist inside samsud messages. You can transcribe and translate your 211 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.879 voice recorder. A lot of stuff that now is available for the S twenty 212 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:20.320 three lineup, the Galaxy Z Fold five and the Z Flip five. Also 213 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.480 has some security patches for the older Samsung flaship phones. So I thought that's 214 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.360 pretty cool. That is neat. Nope, not talking about iPhone at this 215 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.840 moment. When we come back and the other side, Apple has a little 216 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.480 interesting lawsuit going on, has nothing to do with the phone, has something 217 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.440 to do with an air tag. I get a lot of questions about that 218 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.080 air tag. That's a little device that you can find your keys or attach 219 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.320 it to your briefcase or if you happen to lose a kid or you know, 220 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.360 put it on their collar or something. There is a lawsuit and there's 221 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.960 Sapples being sued over the air tag's privacy. I'll give you every single thing 222 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.240 that you need to know about that. If not, I will give you 223 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.679 a phone number if you've got to have questions, If you have a remedy 224 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:03.799 for my I am on painkillers for my my nose issue over here, seven 225 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.840 one three two five ozh tramadol. I'm just telling you everything about me right 226 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.759 there. I don't like any type of drug or any type of medication. 227 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.679 I doubt I'm not addicted to it. It's just if I could suck it 228 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.960 up and go without it. And I did have to take a tramadol once 229 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.320 every twelve hours. It makes me tired. I don't like it. Man. 230 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:30.840 I guess I could sell. Can I sell these things in the black 231 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:32.600 market? If if, if I don't use it? No, I'm just 232 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:34.120 kidding. I really am kidding. Well caught them not kidding, but I 233 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.279 am kidding. I'm gonna go eBay that thing. You know the phone number. 234 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.600 The name is Michael Garfield and this is called the High Tech Textan Show. 235 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.039 When we come back, I will tell you about those Apple air tags, 236 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.679 everything you need to know about that lawsuit and your privacy, and we'll 237 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.879 talk about that solar eclipse people.

I will keep 241 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:07.559 you on the dark until we come back and to the side. Getting a 242 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.519 few emails over here. Hey, Michael, did you end up going to 243 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.720 Las Vegas for the first week of March Madness like you've done for twenty five 244 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.440 years? Well, yes and no. You got to get the number right. 245 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.200 This was my thirty fourth or thirty fifth year of me and the same 246 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:26.400 nine guys going of college, guys going to March Madness. The very first 247 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.200 weekend we were in Vegas. If you happen to rune into me, I 248 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.240 saw a number of people from Houston coming up to me.

Man. 254 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.519 If I'm standing at the crabs table holding the dice, can you just give 255 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.640 me a minute?

Man, that happened. 257 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:04.240 I'm at the Where am I'm at the Venetian and and the table minimums are 258 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.759 horrible now, man, minimum twenty five dollars. I have no clue what's 259 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.400 happened to Vegas? So obviously I'm concentrating on this thing. And you know, 260 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.960 I got some greenies out there on the past line and somebody comes up, 261 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.920 is that the high tech taxan?

There's a lot of money out there, 266 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.440 and they're asked me a questions, say hey, you just did a 267 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.960 police hold those They were nice enough and they held on And it turns out 268 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.680 I seven right after they talked to me, So thank you not for doing 269 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:47.720 that. But I did have fun in Las Vegas probably some of the best 270 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:52.880 weather. Weather in March in Vegas is always wonderful. Good food, good 271 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.680 drink. Had some new restaurants Pete where we we watched one of the games. 272 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.559 One't what so Thursdays and Fridays mornings because it's it's two hours earlier. 273 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.319 We just sit there and we generally go to a sports bar for probably six 274 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.160 straight hours and we just sit there and have some beer. We bet on 275 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.160 the games, and you could bet on the apps right now we have you 276 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.960 have an app like like Caesars and MGM of apps. You don't even need 277 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.680 to go to a betting window, so we could just bet end game if 278 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.799 we wanted to. Found a great place called Happy Camper Keiza. It's in 279 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:30.079 Fashion Show Mall, part of the Lettuce entertain You group and it's phenomenal, 280 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.960 great dvs. Good vibe. It's got a retractable roof so on a great 281 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:40.039 the roof was attracted because the weather was phenomenal and we were there probably six 282 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.359 hours. Good apps, the pizza was awesome. They had tavern style little 283 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.119 Chicago style and that was fun. But I have you know, recommend going 284 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.680 there if you want to have a little fun when to go to Vegas. 285 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.240 I go. That was my that was my fourth month in a row of 286 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:02.559 Vegas. I really should do a a guide to Las Vegas. I've done 287 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.079 my show out there from so many times. But if you happen to be 288 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.000 going out there, you need some tips. I am your guy seven one 289 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:14.920 three two one two five nine five. Oh uh. You don't need to 290 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.519 track me because I generally tell you most everywhere I go. But when it 291 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.680 comes to tracking and tracking people, privacy concerns are everywhere, and one of 292 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:29.480 which is this Apple air tag. You know what These things are, the 293 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.119 little tiny things about the size of a quarter, and it's a digital tracker 294 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.599 and at listen. To be fair, Apple's not the only one who has 295 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.680 these. I mean they did, They weren't even the first one to come 296 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.039 out with it. The first one I think I remember was a company called 297 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:47.839 file t il e Uh. Samsung has one and they work on a very 298 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.640 kind of a it's a bluetooth frequency And if I guess generally, the point 299 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.920 is you could put these on your keychain, you could put them on your 300 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.720 backpack, and you put them on your suitcase, and if you happen to 301 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.960 lose it, or want to track anything like that, you can pull up 302 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.160 an app and you can find it. People. However, they have been 303 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.559 tracking other things. They have been tracking cars, they have been tracking people, 304 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.640 they have been tracking a number of other things. And now there is 305 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:22.880 a class action lawsuit against Apple alleging that Apple didn't sufficiently resolve privacy issues raised 306 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.720 by these air Tag trackers, which led to unwanted stalking and abuse. That 307 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:34.319 was filed last year and it was given CORN approval to proceed earlier this month. 308 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.799 And it's saying that plaintive Suster suffered substantial injuries from people who abused this 309 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.400 Bluetooth tracker, which cost all of twenty nine dollars in the ways the company 310 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:55.559 didn't sufficiently work to address and Apples defended its work on air Tag since it 311 00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:03.839 came out twenty twenty one, and however it's not enough, I mean Apple 312 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.079 expected security concerns. There's no doubt remember in twenty twenty one when they announced 313 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.079 Apples to the tracker, it features like unwanted tag detection and audible alerts, 314 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:18.839 so about alert people when unexpected air tag was nearby. And then shortly after 315 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.759 they were released, Apple Apple kind of upped its privacy measures by making the 316 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:29.920 air tags unwanted Tag Detection alert occur at random times, so it started beeping 317 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.279 and stuff. Yeah, the air tags are good. Listen, They're good 318 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:38.039 and bad. They're a blessing and a curse. People use them to find 319 00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.880 bikes and luggage and laptop bags. Some people even put them on their pets 320 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:48.440 and the little kids. Apple does not recommend that, though. The larger 321 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.119 question is we face is whether we're comfortable with these trackers hanging off all sorts 322 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:59.559 of odds and ends in our lives. What does this mean for you? 323 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.920 If you want to identify unwanted air tags, you can use something called the 324 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:08.640 apples find My app on your iPhone. Android app has one too, to 325 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.920 detect if an unexpected air tag has been traveling with you recently. And you 326 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:18.039 laugh about this. One of my very good friends found out that there was 327 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:23.759 a nearby air tag in his car. Does not know where it went. 328 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.319 I don't even know how he found it. He's got an Android. He 329 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:33.880 turned on his Bluetooth and he'd hit fine my shirt off found a freaking Apple 330 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.599 AirTag in his car. Listen, if you believe your safety is at risk, 331 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.440 Apple advises you to contact the local law enforcement agency, which can work 332 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:49.000 with Apple. You gotta be careful with some of this stuff. This is 333 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.480 the good and bad about technology. I love technology. I cover technology right 334 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:56.319 and when this comes out, it's like, Okay, I see the point. 335 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.880 I lose things all the time, Verger's my keys. But some times 336 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.359 things like this can be used for different purposes than they were intended to. 337 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.519 If anybody has any issues like this, I'd love you. Feel free to 338 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.079 open phone lines to give me a shout seven to one three two one two 339 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.559 five nine five oh two point two five nine five oh. And you can 340 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.079 tell me if if you've been tracked, if you've tracked somebody, feel free 341 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.440 to disguise your voice like I am right now, just because I sound a 342 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.400 little lied. But I have one of these. I don't have any I 343 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:37.119 have a Samsung one and I'm pretty sure how it works. It's sitting. 344 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.960 I have one, and I have it in my backpack. I don't take 345 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.759 my backpack a lot of places. However, when I travel, I will 346 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.079 take my backwhack and backpack, and god forbid, I guess if I lose 347 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.039 it, I will go to my Samsung phone and use the find my thing 348 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.319 and find where it is. The batteries work for a quite a long time, 349 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.359 and if you are prone to lose things, it's a it's a neat 350 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.559 device. And again a number of different ones, Tile, Samsung, Apple, 351 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.279 AirTag, they're out there too. You can get them on Amazon, 352 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:14.880 and they're relatively inexpensive. Let's just hope you use them and people use them 353 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.720 for what they're supposed to be used for of just you know, finding things 354 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.279 and so you don't get caught up in a Lossit like that. But anyway, 355 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.880 you got something to yap about, I'd love to hear your stories about 356 00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.440 that. Two point two five nine to five V one more little segment this 357 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.680 hour before a time it uh, this is you're gonna love this, I 358 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.480 think for all you. Uh, if you think phones aren't expensive enough, 359 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.799 there are third party companies who actually take phones and they upgrade them. It's 360 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.480 kind of like you know, you don't pep my ride. There's there's companies 361 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.319 out there who pep my phones. And one of them just came out with 362 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:55.839 a phone that costs upwards of ten thousand dollars. I'll tell you this story. 363 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.920 They only made ninety nine of these things. But they made it in 364 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.640 a shape of something very very interesting that I think is relatively ugly. Would 365 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.200 you pay for this? Uh? Again, some of the things that you 366 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.240 know, I think I have fun with and to keep you updated what's going 367 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.079 on in the world of consumer lifestyle.

And I apologize for that. Still X voice. Maybe 378 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:04.799 we should start a poll, start a pull on X or something. Uh, 379 00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.480 this is what if you follow me on on extra Twitter take a look 380 00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.400 at this. I posted this earlier this week. It's a high tech text 381 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.359 at h I g h T E c h T e x A N. 382 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:21.279 I talk a lot about phones, test phones all the time, and I'm 383 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.119 an Android fan without a doubt. That's what I carry on a regular basis. 384 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:30.000 There are there are third party companies who are out there that take phones 385 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.960 and they hemp them out, they blame them out for lack of a better 386 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.799 word, they put diamonds on they they go nuts and they up charge. 387 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.640 It's just just it's it just it makes it look neat right versus you know, 388 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.119 go out and getting a nineteen dollars you know, cover for the whole 389 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:52.759 thing. Oh no, no, company called Caviar. Caviar. They just 390 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:59.240 came out with a very special addition of a Samsung Galaxy S twenty four Ultra, 391 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.839 which is a great phone. It's a phone that I uh, it's 392 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.200 probably my favorite photo of the year so far. Came out a few months 393 00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:08.880 ago. It's got a stylist phenomenal camera and everything, and they pimped it 394 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.559 out. It is a luxury brand called Caviar, And I put a photo 395 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.400 in a link on my ex Twitter site. Earlier this week. I hope 396 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.880 you have some money for this thing. They outdid themselves and this is actually 397 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:29.640 a pretty thing. They took a Samsung at Galaxy S twenty four Ultra and 398 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:34.799 they made it look like a Tesla cyber truck. I am not kidding you. 399 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.680 They made only ninety nine units of these, and at the low end 400 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.759 it cost eighty eight hundred dollars. I'm looking at this right now and it 401 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:51.599 is just I'm not gonna say why. Listen, dead matter companies do this 402 00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:57.039 thing to ten thousand dollars for the higher end, depending on if you have 403 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:06.440 a terabyte. It looks like a little flat cyber truck, which I think 404 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:14.400 are actually not sexy. There is no significant difference between this ten thousand dollars 405 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.000 phone and a normal Galaxy S twenty four, which you can probably get for 406 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.000 eighteen hundred dollars. The software are the features, it's all the same. 407 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.519 You go to Caviar's website, it thoughts on this thing. Has anybody ever 408 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:33.319 done this? I mean, this is the this is over the top luxury. 409 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.039 Listen. I know people who have you know, they've got their little 410 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:42.720 Cardier love bracelets. You know, they've got their beautiful cars. They they've 411 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:48.440 got jets, they've got things, but an eighty eight eighty eight hundred to 412 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.119 a ten thousand dollars phone. And the funny thing is, because this thing 413 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.759 is kind of like three D because it looks like a cyber truck. I 414 00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.359 don't think you can put it in a in a cover, which means if 415 00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:07.240 you drop it is gonzo. That's it's a little that's a little too luxury 416 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:15.240 for me. A seven time markup. Oh my goodness. Let's see what 417 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.000 else we got over here. We got a few more mess and we'll talk 418 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.160 about this. We are we are techno. We're about a week away. 419 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.680 Who is gonna go see this solar eclipse? We don't need to go far 420 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.240 because all we need to do is really look up once it's I'm not to 421 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:30.839 say it's once in a lifetime because there's another one coming in Alaska. I 422 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.279 don't know a few years from right now. So feel free to uh to 423 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.359 go. But the big news it is Monday, April eighth, and uh 424 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.960 there's some guidelines over here because Texas is right smack in the path.

But I mean, come on, people, 432 00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.680 listen, every single night the sun goes down, and that's what it looks 433 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.519 like.

Okay, I'm not won't we won't go on the plural just yet. 589 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:53.559 But I think she means that for the entire set, you can shop 590 00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:57.360 for girlfriends and wives. But I do want to start with this about the 591 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.880 history. This is a wonderful organization. It's tell us about the Houston Junior 592 00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:05.039 Forum. Well, the Houston Junior Forum was founded in nineteen forty six by 593 00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:10.239 a group of really forward thinking women who started doing service in the Hispanic community. 594 00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.440 They realized that the Hispanic children could not speak English, and so they 595 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:24.119 started a preschool program specifically to teach English to that Hispanic population. And that 596 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:30.960 preschool was so popular over the years that people stood in line overnight like they 597 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:36.440 were going to a concert to get their children registered at that preschool. And 598 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.239 that was closed in the early two thousands because head Start started became our competition 599 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.119 and it was not necessary anymore. But that's how we started, and over 600 00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:54.159 the years we have developed so many wonderful programs for senior adults, for women, 601 00:43:54.360 --> 00:44:00.320 for children, and today we are doing a college school dealership program and 602 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:05.480 a community grants program. Uh, and that's what we are using our funds 603 00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:09.039 for. You've been involved in the Houston Junior Forum and and what about what's 604 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:13.880 your role? Yeah, gosh, right now, I'm the vice president of 605 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.800 financial Resources. I'm previous. I'm a previous past president of the organization. 606 00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:23.360 I've held lots of different offices, but I've been involved in the Houston Junior 607 00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:28.440 Forum for about eighteen years, long long time. I'm looking led to West. 608 00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:31.719 I'm speaking with her talking about the City Market. It is taking place 609 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:35.440 next weekend, So I'm looking at the dates here. We've got Friday April 610 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:38.400 fifth, We've got Saturday April sixth. It is at Host Houston. I 611 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:43.119 love that place and this is the I get leave. This is the third 612 00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.079 year. How did this come? How the City Market event come about? 613 00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.159 Well, over the years, we've done lots and lots of different kinds of 614 00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:55.320 fundraising projects, but we all thought that having a boutique market would be a 615 00:44:55.360 --> 00:45:00.440 fun event and it would have appealed to a lot of different said months of 616 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:05.760 the population. So we started it in twenty twenty two. This is our 617 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:12.280 third year and we are excited not only about the opportunity to raise money, 618 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.239 but also about the opportunity to showcase the Houston Junior Forum to the public. 619 00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:21.679 We would like the public to know more about us and the things that we 620 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:27.880 do, and so this gives us a great, great venue for showcasing ourselves 621 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:34.199 to the Houston community. Kind of perusing the list of the vendors and all 622 00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.079 the activities.

It's 624 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:45.079 called the City Market for two days.

We're going to take a break right now. Michael 669 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:06.639 Garbold is the name on the very long and running two decades of doing it 670 00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:09.079 every weekend here KPRC radio. iHeartRadio. We're gonna be right back with the 671 00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:19.719 High Tech Texan Show. Yeah, it's about thirty more minutes left of the 672 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.079 radio show. It is et gel the High Tech Texan Show, talking so 673 00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:28.760 much more about Technology'd love to have you join me if you have questions or 674 00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:34.639 revities for a deviated septum to make this the pain go away. Seven one 675 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:43.239 three two one two five nine five. Oh guess what just turned twenty years 676 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.880 old? It is has to do with technology and it is probably something that 677 00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:57.280 you use or you have. Twenty years ago, Gmail was launched and invented. 678 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.000 Gee, who's still as a GM? I have a Gmail. Gmail 679 00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:13.440 revolutionized email, fast search, a whole gig of storage. It's just been 680 00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:16.960 kind of sitting there ever since. And I remember when it was released because 681 00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:22.440 it was it was cool, but we thought it was a joke because it 682 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:29.519 was announced on April Fool's Day, thinking it was some kind of a prank. 683 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:36.239 Oh my goodness, one gig about it. Storage unbelievable and you can 684 00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:43.880 only get it through an invitation. It was a beta test that Gmail mailed 685 00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:49.840 to a select people and then if you had it, you could maybe send 686 00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.039 out three or four invitations. It was a slow roll, but it was 687 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:59.599 it was a phenomenal way to roll it out. It was, oh, 688 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:00.960 how do I intentation? I want one of these things. It's not just 689 00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.280 you could just go download an app, it was it was it was that 690 00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:06.519 was a really neat way to do it, and Google did that for a 691 00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:17.000 number of different things. Became a must have for the technology fan Email revolutionized 692 00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:21.199 email. It really did, if you think about it, reimagined what our 693 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:25.639 inboxes were capable of. Really became essential part of our our online identities. 694 00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.920 The service right now, and I did some research for you because this is 695 00:51:29.920 --> 00:51:37.119 what I do. Estimated one point two billion users. It's about one seventh 696 00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:43.559 of the global population. It's almost a necessity to do anything online. And 697 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:45.679 it kind of feels like Gmail has always been here and it's going to be 698 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:54.599 around, but it's still rudimentary. Like I don't go to Gmail dot com 699 00:51:54.599 --> 00:52:00.079 and I don't have the Gmail app per se. I I integrate it into 700 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:07.400 other things. I have a Gmail account and I forward it to my Microsoft 701 00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:12.039 Outlook, which is my email client. So everything kind of look the same. 702 00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.079 So I have my high tech textan email address, I have my Gmail 703 00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:17.079 address, I have my heart media address, but I'll go get into the 704 00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:22.679 same inbox. But Gmail is so easy is listen to someone says, hey, 705 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:24.960 what's your email address? Well, I could sit here and go Michael 706 00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:29.840 at High Tech Texan HI g A T. Said. Other than that, 707 00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:34.960 it's just like move blah blah blah Gmail dot com. And I got a 708 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.480 pretty easy one because I was one of the first ones to actually get Gmail, 709 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:38.480 and I, you know, kind of grabbed my first initial, my 710 00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:45.719 last name and there you go. There were a lot of value propositions that 711 00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:50.000 Gmail brought to the table if you wanted to if you do wanted to search 712 00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.559 anything for your emails, like you know, hey, I remember writing an 713 00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:53.920 email about this and this. You just put the word in and it was 714 00:52:53.960 --> 00:53:07.239 it was really great. Miss Now you had way too many emails. And 715 00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:12.000 then Google introduce some different themes and whatever. Who uses this still? And 716 00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.800 it's fun I use. Here's the thing when it comes to emails, it 717 00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:21.840 is a little tip that I tell people. You need several email addresses, 718 00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:29.639 especially when you sign up and you subscribed newsletters or promotions. You should create 719 00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:36.079 specific email addresses to log in specific promotions whatever. So you just don't use 720 00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:42.360 one massive email address. To me, it's too or to manage. I 721 00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.800 use my Gmail. Actually, I gotta be honest with you. I probably 722 00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:52.960 have eight to ten different Gmail addresses and I use them when I sign up 723 00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:55.639 for newsletters. What I sign up for, you know, different promotions, 724 00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:05.679 birthday clubs, whatever. But if you think about it, I'm gonna here's 725 00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:12.199 an analogy. Gmail is like a passport for the Internet because Google is just 726 00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:19.800 so ever present with everything. What is it it is? We get different? 727 00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.639 What's your favorite go to? Who has a Yahoo? I still know 728 00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:29.719 a few people who have Aol and it's kind of laughable. But whatever, 729 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:34.679 they don't want to change it. I understand this, but I will say 730 00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:39.840 this is this is a topic. Is email I'm gonna make I'm gonna give 731 00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:43.760 you two things. Is email and phone numbers. Will they be around for 732 00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:47.519 the long haul? And I can make a case where they will not be 733 00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:55.519 because we now are used to communicating through text, direct messages, and social 734 00:54:55.519 --> 00:55:01.800 media. I want you to think about this. The ten digit number of 735 00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:07.559 our phone numbers that we have, I don't think they're going to be around 736 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:14.400 for the long long haul. If somebody wants I want Facebook, I'm on 737 00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:20.960 Instagram. I'm on Twitter. If somebody wants to contact me, which they 738 00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:24.960 do, they will DM me. They will direct message me. Sometimes. 739 00:55:24.960 --> 00:55:30.199 I got my parents. My mom she's on Facebook. If she wants to 740 00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:32.719 send me something, she doesn't text on her phone, but she will, 741 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:38.079 without a doubt, she'll go on Facebook and she'll DM me. Kids will 742 00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:45.920 do that too. And you don't need the phone number even for What's app. 743 00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:51.280 What's app is it's tied to your phone number per se, but you 744 00:55:51.559 --> 00:56:00.039 search for it by name. So I we're in the We're certainly in the 745 00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.480 midst, but are we near the end of it? And this is listen, 746 00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:06.400 I'm opening up the phone calls. If you think about this, if 747 00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:07.960 you agree to disagree, or do you like it better or not? Seven 748 00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:13.280 one three two one two five nine five. Oh. Matter of fact, 749 00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:16.559 that phone number which has been a staple here in our KPRC radio station for 750 00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:20.119 well over twenty five years that I've been almost I've been doing this thing. 751 00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:23.719 That number may go away. Hell, go to our website kprcradio dot com. 752 00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:29.320 I are radio dot com. Are there on the app you actually can 753 00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:31.960 leave a voicemail that we we can actually put your voice on the air on 754 00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:39.079 our just through the app. We've changed so much, so quickly. When 755 00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:46.079 I started talking about technology two thousand and one, there was no email, 756 00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:52.800 really there was. We got letters in the mail. You had to put 757 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:54.800 a stamp. Dear Michael, I listen to your show. You have no 758 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:58.599 clue what in the world you're talking about. I hate you. You talk 759 00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:01.599 too fast. Your NAIs late. Man. There's nothing like getting hate mail 760 00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:07.039 for the post office nowadays, simply just you know, people just send me 761 00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:13.800 eight mail on text and DM right now, Happy birthday, Happy anniversary, 762 00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:16.639 twenty years Gmail. It's gonna be around for a while, but I think 763 00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:22.280 in the long run there's gonna be new ways, easy ways to communicate. 764 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:24.119 We're using these things. Yes, TEX still is dependent on your phone, 765 00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:30.480 but any but through social media and other ways that we're gonna have these easier 766 00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:35.280 ways to reach out to each other. Coming back, last last section, 767 00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:37.559 it's the last segment I will talk about the Defender Outbound. I'll give you 768 00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:42.039 that review, the top Eastern candies that you have voted on. I'm really 769 00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:45.000 surprised that you got one of these and anything else you have for me seven 770 00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:46.400 one three, two, one two five nine five. Oh, it is 771 00:57:46.440 --> 00:57:53.039 the high Tech Jackson Joe Final. A few minutes of the show, Thank 772 00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:57.639 you for hanging around. Looks like I'm gonna make it. Valabreed, He's 773 00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:00.719 gonna be putting us on the here in about the ten minutes, Team Good, 774 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:06.239 iHeartRadio, look for Michael Garfield, high Tech text and KPRC. I 775 00:58:06.239 --> 00:58:08.679 think I'm gonna make it. Man, I'm tired. Thank you for all 776 00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:15.519 the remedies and you're sad stories of all your surgeries. I had a little 777 00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:20.360 procedure earlier this week which is causing my nose to be very stuffy because I 778 00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:25.440 have stints inside my nose. It is a deviated septim procedure. I think 779 00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:31.119 I was taking to Paul. Is it a surgery or is it a procedure? 780 00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:36.159 I hate being over dramatic, even though I kind of do like the 781 00:58:36.239 --> 00:58:39.800 dramatic stuff. I really don't want to call it surgery. I've never had 782 00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:45.400 surgery before. Does this break my streak of being over fifty years old and 783 00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:50.320 having my first surgery or or is it a procedure? Surgery technically is a 784 00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:54.280 procedure. I am not sure, but hopefully I will be sounding much better 785 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:59.639 next week after I got these stints pulled up. Oh I hope they don't 786 00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:05.760 when they yanked these things out of my nose. Oh my goodness, I 787 00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:08.000 need some tranquilizers. People, somebody coup old by a hand. Help me 788 00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:13.039 out. Not going to give you the phone number because I have a few 789 00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:15.840 things in to hit. We covered a number of different things. I did 790 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:21.199 promise I was going to give you my vehicle review of the week. Every 791 00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:25.360 week for fifteen plus years, I review a car, a truck, what 792 00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:29.519 have you. If you miss it, I have a whole podcast dedicated to 793 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:34.079 that. From years and years of yapping and driving these things. It is 794 00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:37.960 not I don't get cars through dealerships. I get them directly through the manufacturers. 795 00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:40.400 Every single week, I get to drive them for about seven days. 796 00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:44.360 I do not get paid for it. So it means I can rag on 797 00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:49.360 them. I can love aut them. I can tell you what's you know? 798 00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:52.519 Who's it good for? What type of person or families it's not good 799 00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.400 for. I am your guy. So if you're looking for a new vehicle 800 00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:00.599 for you owned vehicle, at least I can help you out with some names, 801 01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:06.840 makes, models, and brands. If you're looking for an suv and 802 01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:10.480 you are a status climber and a little pretentious. Uh oh did I say 803 01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:16.119 that? Yes? I was rolling around this past week in a twenty twenty 804 01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:22.519 four Defender outbound. You know you got the land Rover stuff. This is 805 01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:30.480 the Defender and this is a massive suv, very tall. This will haul 806 01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:34.360 anything. It probably should fit. Does it fit at king sized bed when 807 01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:38.440 you lay everything down all the but it was great for outdoors. It could 808 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:43.519 rot, It could the whole vehicle with a touch of a button. It 809 01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:46.440 could rise up to get through high water, it could lower down, be 810 01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:52.599 a little bit more aerodynamic. It is so tall. It had a few 811 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:57.880 accessories, which it took me a while to understand what these two things that 812 01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:01.320 were hanging over the top of it, one of which was a ladder. 813 01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:05.360 And this is the first accessory I've seen a lot of accessories, third party 814 01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.199 accessories on vehicles. It was a ladder. You have to have a little 815 01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:14.719 key because it locks, and you know, maybe the the it collapses. 816 01:01:14.760 --> 01:01:17.280 So maybe it was only about two feet tall and you could see it's a 817 01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.239 ladder. But then when you take a key which on your keychain and then 818 01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:23.719 you fold down the ladder, it folds out not once but twice, so 819 01:01:23.760 --> 01:01:28.440 now it becomes almost a six foot ladder. So now you can climb up 820 01:01:28.480 --> 01:01:32.159 the ladder to stand on to put things on top, like on the luggage 821 01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:37.679 rack on top of the thing. Really a genius Is it needed? Actually? 822 01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:39.719 I don't know if you if you drive around and do some outdoor stuff, 823 01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:43.039 you need to put some stuff on top of this thing. I thought 824 01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.880 that was pretty neat. It rides very nicely. The sound system is great, 825 01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:54.119 very comfortable everything from the leather inside. It has a big three liter 826 01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:59.559 six cylinder gas engine. It's about three hundred and ninety five horse power. 827 01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:02.480 It toes, so it's got about four hundred and five pounds feet of torque. 828 01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:08.840 Very very comfortable, easy to get into the uh that second row and 829 01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:14.119 uh it's it's just one of these rugged look at things. Not the cheapest 830 01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:19.360 thing out there, the uh way. The MSRP just for the base eighty 831 01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.239 four thousand dollars, but then I had the optional equipment of a comfort the 832 01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:27.000 convenience package, and the off road package and all the fun stuff, and 833 01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.679 so the retail price of the one I drove for a week was just over 834 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:34.119 one hundred and one thousand dollars. That's right. I love the color. 835 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:40.679 It was a it's called Carpathian gray. Carpathian wasn't that Ghostbusters too?

It was a matted gray, and I'm not 837 01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:49.280 a big fan of matted type of color, you know, which is not 838 01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:52.039 shiny.
