00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.880
Is Michael Garfier. Michael Garfield.
Michael Garfield's joining us and the high Tech

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.400
Texan. Michael Garfield is here with
a high Tech Texans items to make life

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:23.000
easier, some new technology, and
Michael Garfield has something you might want.

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:32.479
Michael Garfield is your high Tech Texan. Three decades helping you make magic with

5
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:40.640
your gadgets. I heard worldwide on
the iHeartRadio Act. Now your high Tech

6
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.119
Texan, Michael Garfield, just like
that big boy said, it is the

7
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.960
high Tech Textan Show. Michael is
my name. For the next two hours,

8
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.399
we are going to put together a
show we have done for over twenty

9
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.280
years as we approached the holiday season
and all your questions answers, new products.

10
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.200
But I have to take a few
minutes over here to let you know

11
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:10.000
that my mind specifically is not one
hundred percent on focus of my daily task

12
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.280
or re least weekly task of talking
on the radio show, because what is

13
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.719
going on with this world and this
is a platform that I have had for

14
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.280
two decades, and I'm going to
take a minute over here to talk about

15
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.079
what is happening on the other side
of the world, because these are really

16
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:33.400
crazy, horrific times. It was
one week ago today, Israel was attacked

17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.560
by Hamas. The terrorist group launched
that surprise attack from Gaza into Israeli territory.

18
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.239
In that attack, as we know, the militants broke through the border

19
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.159
fence, they stormed Israeli towns,
they fired on civilians. As of now,

20
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.480
thousands of Israelis have been killed by
Hamas militants. Hundreds of civilians and

21
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.480
soldiers were taken to Gaza's hostages.
And this is children, this is the

22
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.480
elderly. These are American citizens.
Hamas. If you don't know, it's

23
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.680
an Islamist militant group. It's been
deemed a terrorist organization by the US and

24
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.759
the EU, and it sees control
of Gaza in two thousand and seven after

25
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.000
is Roel withdrew and the two sides
have fought several wars since the last Saturday's

26
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.759
attack. It was the biggest incursion
that Israel has experienced since the Young Kipper

27
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:28.000
War almost fifty years ago. Exactly, I went to school growing up reading

28
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.919
books, well actually I'm not a
big book reader, but studying wars,

29
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:39.120
specifically the Young Kipper War. The
Young Kipper War is I'm not saying nothing

30
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.039
compared to what is going on right
now. But foreign policy experts are saying

31
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:52.479
that Hamas's sophisticated attack on Israel literally
is representing Israel's nine to eleven or Pearl

32
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:58.199
Harbor moment. It's a stunning failure
of Israel's vaunted intelligence program that's going to

33
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.719
impact its politics and society for decades
to come. Is this something that the

34
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.280
next generation kids are going to be
reading about, just like I studied the

35
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.759
young Kipper Warren so many others.
You know, this attack is going to

36
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.520
have seismic ramifications in the Middle East. You've listened to me, you know

37
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.560
me. I am not a political
guy. I don't really even talk about

38
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.960
world politics or even the world.
But this is horrible. What is going

39
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.680
on. Benjaminette Nahu, Prime Minister
of Israel. He warned of a very

40
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.879
long, very difficult war ahead,
and one that's likely going to result in

41
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.080
massive military response in Gaza, and
it's going to be shaped by the hostage

42
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.520
crisis. I want to steer this
in a little bit different direction right now.

43
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120
I want to talk about, at
least for a brief moment, to

44
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.759
say that I personally stand for Israel
and what is happening there is one of

45
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:50.000
the most horrific tragedies in my lifetime
that I have seen. But I also

46
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.599
bring up this topic because of the
way we are finding out information coming from

47
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.719
the Middle East. A lot of
that, as we now know, comes

48
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:04.879
from social media, and thus a
lot of that information is misinformation. People

49
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:12.639
be careful of where and what you
are reading, be it on X formally,

50
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.160
Twitter, TikTok, wherever there's solid
resources you can turn to on social

51
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.920
media sites like the AP or even
the BBC, but please be aware before

52
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.519
you start forwarding or retweeting or quoting
information because we don't know exactly what is

53
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.120
happening. The only thing we do
know this is a tragic time at a

54
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.839
very scary time in the Middle East, and we can only hope for peace

55
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:46.800
immediately. And I go online and
I it's funny how the media criticizes and

56
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.879
critiques other media. There are stories
that I continue to read are popping up

57
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.720
right now or even this morning as
I was prepping for the show that X

58
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:03.600
formally Twitter. They have been amplified
disinformation amid the Israel Hamas conflict or whatever

59
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.959
we were calling this thing. You
know, from the outset from last weekend,

60
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:14.040
there's been graphic footage of abductions,
military operations. They spread like wildfire

61
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:19.800
on social media platforms. This disinformation
on all these platforms, it's made it

62
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.839
harder for users really says what's happening, what's real, what's not real?

63
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.480
It's propaganda. A lot of this
stuff is what do we believe? War

64
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:36.759
now is not just solely on ground
fighting, guns, tangs, infiltration.

65
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:45.120
It's communication, it's news. It
is that propaganda more so than ever because

66
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.560
we we as the people of the
world, we have a voice. You

67
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.800
know, I was obviously I was
not around in World War Two. I

68
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.600
was very young in Vietnam War We
and I studied that because I was a

69
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.800
communication of broadcast. We got that
information, Americans got the world got that

70
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.839
information from reporters, TV, radio
reporters, Edward R. Murrow on the

71
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.920
ground. Remember what wolf Blitzer made
his name back in what the early nineties

72
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.519
was that the goal for on television
social media as we knew it was not

73
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.720
there where we can say, oh, no, is this real? Is

74
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:26.759
this not real? You have to
trust the trusted sources. The problem is,

75
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.639
and as we continue and ize,
they wind up my first segment over

76
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.800
here, and this is what I
talk about with technology, and technology has

77
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.000
changed in the twenty two years since
I have done this show. If I

78
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.040
started this show Facebook, we wasn't
around. Twitter, wasn't around the social

79
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.720
media wedding around. You got your
information for me. Now you get more

80
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.319
information about tecking everything else from other
resources. I don't make things up.

81
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.839
I don't lie. Listen, I'd
love to I'd love to tell you that

82
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.319
the Cowboys are going to win the
Super Bowl, the Long Worne is gonna

83
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.839
win the national Championships in whatever I
going to tell you they did. We

84
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.399
can fight, Yes, they did
know they didn't. We broadcasters journalists,

85
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.040
which I actually have degrees in that
we're the trusted resource. We are living

86
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.759
in a crazy world right now,
not only in the real world but also

87
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:19.839
online. So heads up and just
right that this world can just get along.

88
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:25.720
It is just sad some of the
things that I do believe because I

89
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.720
have to trust these resources and that
I continue to click go down the rabbit

90
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.439
holes from several different area resources,
maybe from the left, maybe from the

91
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.480
right of what's real, what's not
real? No real or not? I

92
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.360
know things are happening, and bad
things are happening, and it shouldn't happen

93
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.920
like this. That's the end of
that. I appreciate you listening to me,

94
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.360
and I hope we can tell you
just to live our haha, fun

95
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:55.079
life over here in America, and
it never happens to us or your family,

96
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.160
or your people or your friends.
But it's happening to a lot of

97
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.720
my listeners and a lot of my
friends family in Israel who have been adducted.

98
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.920
They don't know what is happening.
It's freaking scary. With that,

99
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.079
we will take a break and we're
gonna come back and we're gonna try to

100
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:13.000
make sense of Hey, it's a
Saturday here on KPRC nine fifty am.

101
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.519
That's exactly what we're gonna do,
my friends, and we're gonna try to

102
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.600
keep on you happen what we're happening
about. Michael Garfield is the name.

103
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:33.080
It is called the High Tech Textant
Show. Hey to get in the show

104
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.759
phone number is seven one three two
one two five nine five. Oh.

105
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.440
It is a radio call in show
and we try to do keep it on

106
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.399
topics, and I do thank you
for letting me go a little off topic.

107
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.519
At the opening segment. Michael is
my name, callum here is on

108
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.639
the other side of the glass,
Calum if you feel like picking up the

109
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.600
phone and put some questions through.
It is October, mid October. Not

110
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.639
gonna say it's snuck off, snuck
up on us. It's this has been

111
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.480
a long, long, freaking year
and it's not going well for a lot

112
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.840
of people. Maybe hopefully you are
having a good year weather wise. You

113
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.960
know, I always talk about the
weather because weather, weather affects me so

114
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.360
much. It affects my mood.
And living here in Houston, which generally

115
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.559
is just a nasty, humid climate, we do look forward to the potential

116
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.639
November, December, January weather when
it gets cooler, and so we're almost

117
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.679
do you feel fall, just trying
to sneak in, trying to sneak in,

118
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.720
it's getting there. I cannot wait
for winter, Michael, or sweather.

119
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.039
Weather in my jacket weather. I
have more jackets than anybody in this

120
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.080
in this southern city should have because
I don't know. Maybe I'm just thinking

121
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.399
the world is gonna a cold frin
is just going to take over for eight

122
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.200
months of the year on it,
or I'm waiting to move somewhere up north,

123
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.159
whether or not Amazon, this is
a segue over here, I'm a

124
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.600
professional. You can actually follow my
lead over. Amazon had its second Prime

125
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.120
Day, because you know what,
one Prime day year is not enough here

126
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.480
in America. And it was a
two day event earlier this week, and

127
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.240
they had jackets on sale. See
that's how you segue. Anybody get any

128
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.240
winter clothes. Prime days generally people
look for televisions, they look for they

129
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.240
look for kitchen appliances too. And
I was looking at some of the stats

130
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.360
that were coming into the number of
kitchen appliances people. I really thought you

131
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.960
had enough air fryers. I thought
there are I thought every kitchen. You

132
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.519
know, there's a car in every
garage, there's a fish in every bucket,

133
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.559
there's an air frer in every kitchen. They're getting cheaper, cheap air

134
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.360
friers are good. Then there's these
these crock potty type of things. There's

135
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.840
blenders, there's I mean, what
all do we need? But this is

136
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.039
what I'm here for. I actually
test some of these products out and before

137
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.360
you actually buy one. This is
I am your resource. I'm your consumer

138
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.600
lifestyle guy. I am I have
was this I don't know if it was

139
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.600
on Amazon Prime, But let's talk
about this kitchen stuff, because as you're

140
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.519
starting to see, you know what, even though it's mid October, I

141
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.679
guarantee Black Friday deal is going to
start popping up almost immediately, and they're

142
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.480
trying to shove all these gadgets.
Remember, and I'm going to go back

143
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.320
in the day right now where everybody
had to have a waffle maker. My

144
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.799
parents still may have a waffle maker, and I'm talking from the nineteen seventies,

145
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.279
and the over under number of times
that waffle maker to this day had

146
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.720
been used probably is about five and
a half five and a hoock got to

147
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.480
have a waffle maker. Then you
had the bread maker. Oh, I

148
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:37.759
was in the bread maker, Phace
too. Breadmaker was nineteen ninety one two

149
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.559
three four you think, had it
a little R two D two looking thing.

150
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.360
Oh my goodness, we can make
our own bread man. I was

151
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.679
making rosemary bread, cheese bread.
It was the coolest thing in the world.

152
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.919
And this is before we had to
study on carbs and how bad carbs

153
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.399
can be for you. All right, so there goes the breadmaker thing.

154
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.759
Listen, wh I can go all
the way back to the nineteen seventies.

155
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.240
I remember we got our first microwave
oven that was gonna that was going to

156
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:07.720
effect and the way we as families
got together and cooked meals. The microwave

157
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.200
was going to be the only kitchen
gadget we need. We need it in

158
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.559
the nineteen seventies. You know what, the last time I checked my kitchen,

159
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.080
I have a microwave and you probably
do too. Oh, by the

160
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.200
way, I still have an oven, and I still have a stove,

161
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.799
and I still have a toaster oven, and I still have a refrigerator.

162
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:31.440
No one gadget is not going to
make any any other gadget really disappear.

163
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.679
It's not like the Jetsons. You
know, we had the little pill.

164
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.159
Then it's an entire meal. However, I did get a gadget about a

165
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.440
kitchen gadget. It was earlier this
year, and I talked about it a

166
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.000
few times before. And I'm telling
you what, this is almost an all

167
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.639
in one type of thing. And
I don't know if Amazon had it on

168
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.759
sale. It's called a Drea dr
EO and I guess it's at Dreo dot

169
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.879
com and dre they make a number
of things. Is actually I have a

170
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.320
Dreo fan. They make circulation pants, but this is a dre O.

171
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.279
Let me see if I can pull
this thing up. It's a Dreo all

172
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.600
in one kitchen thing. It's the
size of a maybe a bread maker or

173
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:15.360
kind of a vertical toaster. And
I use this thing more. It's called

174
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.279
the Dreo chef Maker Dreo chef Maker
Amazon. It's got about three hundred and

175
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.960
fifty nine dollars and if instead of
and this is not a commercial for it,

176
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.200
I absolutely recommend this name. But
if you're looking to declutter your kitchen.

177
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.600
And I've got now so many guys
just not in boxes that I've tested

178
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.799
and tried. They're sitting in my
garage. I should probably do a garage

179
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.240
sale. I should probably actually get
him away here on the show Nimala is

180
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.759
good hiding a how bigger house?
My all your kitchen over here. But

181
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.799
this thing, this Dreo chef Maker, it is a It's called the Dreo

182
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.279
chef Maker comby con By Fryar.
So it is a smart air fryer.

183
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.320
Comes with a cooking probe as a
water atomizer, and I like that because

184
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.279
you put a little water at the
top and it stops things from drying out.

185
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:11.600
It's got three professional cooking modes and
it holds about six quarts. And

186
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.360
this thing is like a it's an
air fryer, it's a toaster, it's

187
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:22.639
an oven, it's a dehydrator,
and it's got defroster and it works very

188
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.080
well. It's got a little drawer
that you pull out, it's got a

189
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.799
little light. And the neat thing
is yet there's an app you can download

190
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.360
and it's got all these recipes and
it shows you how to make them step

191
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.799
by step. And then once you
put the food in this chef Maker device,

192
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:37.720
you actually can turn it on and
control it from the app, so

193
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.879
you can now walk around your home
and do everything. It's pretty cool.

194
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.240
All right, that's enough. I'll
talk about that thing. But it's Dreo.

195
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.240
Dreo. Just go look for Drea
chef Maker. I get that underdoorse

196
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.960
But I listen. I'm every week
I'm getting products sent to me. Hey,

197
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.559
Michael, you gotta try. And
you know I've tried the the the

198
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.679
the big, the Insta pots.
You know what I mean. They're okay.

199
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.080
And I love cooking. Don't get
me wrong. I'm a cooker.

200
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.559
Yes, he cooks, he sows, he cleans, He's an eagle scout.

201
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:15.360
I'm such a catch, but I'm
not a big if you big soup

202
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.559
type of thing. I'm not that
guy. But I will tell you what.

203
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.480
If I want to cook a big
if I want to toast a bagel,

204
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.919
if I want to fry some actually
ear fry some chicken, if I

205
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.200
have chicken breast, I put the
probe in there. It comes out quite

206
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.279
well. Why do I need all
these other devices? And I say this

207
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.240
because and I know it's too late, because you probably went out and shopped

208
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.559
and went nuts on Amazon to buy
these things. Whoever you're shopping for,

209
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.279
it be it for you, be
it for a present for your parents,

210
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.039
or a housewarming gift. You know, take a you do they have a

211
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.720
big kitchen? Is it a clean
house? Do they have a lot of

212
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.600
crap on on their kitchen counters?
Maybe they don't need some of this stuff,

213
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.080
or maybe they need it all in
one so Doway, hey, listen,

214
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.799
if you bought something really cool on
Amazon, listen, I have some

215
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.679
open phone lines. Why don't you
keep me company here? It's seven one

216
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:10.960
three two one two five nine five. Oh, without a doubt, we're

217
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.200
really gonna get into the holiday gift
stuff. Give it a few weeks,

218
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.679
give it wins. Halloween is done
early November, and that's when I go

219
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:19.679
into my recommendations from so many categories. I mean, I will give you

220
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:25.600
TVs, I will give you phones, headphones, earbudgs, cars, trucks,

221
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.279
kitchen gadgets, refrigerators, jewelry.
I am your guy. Remember I

222
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.440
started out my career on QVC,
so I know how to sell a bunch

223
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.200
of crap, and I can tell
crap from actually real good stuff too.

224
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:44.080
That's why I am your resource.
You go high Tech Texan h I g

225

226
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.480
tech Texa dot com. I am
on all the social media platforms where I

227
00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:55.279
am not sending out disinformation, not
at all. The Texas Rangers did indeed

228
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.320
win a few days ago and are
going to the ALCS. That is not

229
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.799
Deserve Range. That is I'm pumped
up, people, Let's go all right,

230
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:19.000
high Tech textis Joe coming back?
Should you be listening live today as

231
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:23.319
we do the show? It is
October fourteenth and a very special day in

232
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.359
our family. And I don't know
if she is listening, but a big,

233
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:36.039
massive happy birthday to a one Susan
Garfield, the mother of all high

234
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:41.559
tech Texans up in Dallas, listening
on iHeartRadio, happiest of birthdays. Sorry,

235
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.119
I cannot be celebrating with you today. I did see you last week

236
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:51.319
when I was in Dallas. But
is a it's a nice round number and

237
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.039
I will not say the age.
You guys can potentially guess and figure that

238
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.359
out. But anyway, happy happy
birthday to Susan Garfield and all the stuff

239
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.640
that I'm talking about on the show
today, maybe I will ship up to

240
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:06.319
you as gifts. And I just
talked about an airfyer. I can hear.

241
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.519
I don't need another airfyer. I
don't want another toaster. Okay,

242
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.519
so I'll start talking about cars and
jewelry. So anyway, if you're up

243
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.480
in the Dallas area, or if
your friends on Facebook with her, happy

244
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.920
birthday to my mother. Phone number
here, callum if you want to put

245
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.920
a few things through. If anybody
wants to wish uh my mom a happy

246
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:33.480
birthday. Seven one three two one
two five nine five zero. There's a

247
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:40.200
an app I want to talk about
that. It's really interesting and so far

248
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.720
has been getting rave reviews for it. What it does to help our privacy.

249
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:48.759
And I don't know if you've heard
about this, but I'm going to

250
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.720
kind of go at link with it
here, but if you have an issue

251
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.039
with your privacy of how much data
is shared. And I did a story

252
00:18:53.039 --> 00:19:00.880
earlier this week with our sister station
kt RH seven about how much information even

253
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.839
when you use loyalty cards in a
grocery store, like if you go to

254
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:11.200
Kroger, and and HGB started it
too, because I have an hib app

255
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:12.599
and I have the Kroger app too, and I put my phone number in

256
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.440
and they send me, you know, some deals of the week and then

257
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.160
and I know specifically at Kroger,
you can, you know, put your

258
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.759
account number in and you get discounts
on something. I've used that for years

259
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.319
and years and years. That's one
example how the companies they could take that

260
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.119
information and they know so much about
you. They know exactly what I'm buying,

261
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.319
they know what time of day.
They can actually track how often I

262
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.720
open the app and what I eyeball, and do I pick it up at

263
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.240
a certain store, what time do
I shop. They actually can sell that

264
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.519
information to third party companies too.
And there's ways to stop some of this

265
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.880
stuff and there's this new app that
believe it or not, just was released

266
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:59.759
by Consumer Reports. Now you talk
about and earlier I started the show talk

267
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:06.039
about resources that you can trust,
and I'm telling you this and Consumer Reports.

268
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:10.359
If you're listening to me, you're
welcome for the pre publicity. Consumer

269
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.680
Reports is initially was a magazine.
They came out I guess what once a

270
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:22.519
month. Absolutely took no advertising.
The only thing Consumer Reports does and that

271
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.599
they would rate product product product.
There was no bias, there was no

272
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.200
ads, there was no endorsements these
things. They would go through everything from

273
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:36.680
kitchen gadgets to cars and they would
rate on I think there were different circles.

274
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.559
You know that was the best,
the worst, the middle and everything.

275
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:44.160
Consumer Reports is great. I absolutely
to this minute trust them. But

276
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:52.119
Consumer Reports came out with an app
and it's called Permission Slip and it could

277
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.839
reach out to companies on your behalf
to order them to stop selling your information.

278
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:03.000
Now, I'll say it again,
the information out there. The more

279
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.519
you use the internet, the more
likely is the pieces of your personal data.

280
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.960
They're scattered all over the place.
You could sign up for a social

281
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.640
media platform, you could buy something
online, you give these companies information,

282
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:21.000
and that information that's collected by companies
and data brokers that sell it to other

283
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:26.839
companies. They can use it to
sell ads targeted you. But this permissionship

284
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:32.960
permission easy for you to say permission
slip and feel free to actually resuppruve of

285
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.440
that thing. I did not say
a bad word. Permission slip it can

286
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:41.799
reach out to these companies and have
them stop selling information. Some states,

287
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.200
by the way, have past legislation
that allows you to exercise some control over

288
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.079
what happens to it. Yeah,
depending on the state, you can prohibit

289
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:53.480
data brokers from selling your data or
delete your online data outright. But I've

290
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:57.440
tried this. The process is confusing
and it's really kind of unclear. But

291
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:02.799
this is where this app comes in. Permission slip it does this legwork of

292
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.200
collecting the places that might have your
data, and that's like one hundred plus

293
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.039
companies that use your personal information.
And all you have to do is submit

294
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:18.039
your request for your info to either
be deleted outright or simply not sold anymore.

295
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.279
All right, So here's what you
do, all right, here's the

296
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:25.400
payoff. To get to use this
permission slip You have to sign up for

297
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:30.519
the service with your email address.
Yes, And what you probably should do

298
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:36.200
is sign up with the email address
that you frequently use when signing up for

299
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.400
rewards programs or making accounts online,
so that way you're addressing most of the

300
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.279
places that should that could be selling
your data. Okay, once you sign

301
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:52.440
up, there's some options here.
If you think a certain company has information,

302
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.960
you may want to do something about
it. And there's this little tab

303
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.039
that says learn more and take action. And if you don't think this company

304
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.519
has your data, and you won't
you no longer want to see it,

305
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.079
you can hide it. But once
you click that learn more and take action,

306
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.039
you're gonna be taken to a screen
that shows you what sort of data

307
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.640
the company usually collects and what your
options are. And depending on the company,

308
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.519
and depending on the state that you
live in, you could have the

309
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:25.079
option to prohibit companies from selling your
data or delete your account outright now.

310
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.119
Note, if you're deleting your account
and you have a rewards program, you're

311
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.720
gonna lose those rewards all right.
So after you input your personal information the

312
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:36.039
first time, the process is for
removing the data. It's pretty simple.

313
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:40.599
You're gonna scroll through these permission slip
suggestions you're gonna select the companies that might

314
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.039
have your info and then you're gonna
delete your account, or you're gonna prohibit

315
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.799
that company from using your data.
It's pretty strong. Now. It's important

316
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.240
to note that permission slip is submitting
the request on your behalf. You still

317
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.480
might have to confirm the request directly
with the company. It also may take

318
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.440
a bit of time. It's not
gonna happen overnight to have this processed,

319
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:07.480
so be patient. So go check
it out. It is permission slip,

320
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:15.160
Consumer Reports, permission slip. You
can go just just start Google the thing

321
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.000
and you can and you can and
you can figure it out. Several states

322
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.480
have different rules. And obviously I'm
in Texas, a lot of my listeners

323
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.319
are in Texas. Here Texas,
and what our attorney general, I mean,

324
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.680
we try to keep up. I
mean, our state tries to keep

325
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.960
up with you know, many things
to keep it ahead, ahead of the

326
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:37.720
curve. California, California is pretty
strong too. California has something called the

327
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.599
California Consumer Privacy Act, and that
was the first date law to empower people

328
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:49.519
to designate a third party to make
data request on the behalf the law is

329
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.839
also I saw this thing from UTAH
about TikTok. I'm not a TikTok guy.

330
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.079
That is one of the few social
media accounts I don't have. I

331
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.960
don't need it. I don't even
know what I never added it. But

332
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.160
then the whole I know it's owned
by China, by Byte Dance, and

333
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.880
they're gonna you potentially use your information. I'm like, you know what,

334
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.759
that's another thing I don't want to
worry about. But UTAH get this is

335
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:19.200
suing TikTok forgetting children addicted to its
algorithm. Now I've heard of addicted to

336
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:26.359
love, thank you Robert Palmer,
addicted to its algorithm because they're saying it's

337
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:33.240
designed to hook users into its endless
feed. I'm sorry, but that's called

338
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.640
the internet, right. How many
times have you gone to the rabbit hole

339
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.759
on YouTube? Oh? I forgot
about this song? Oh? Who is

340
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:42.279
lead singer song? Oh? This
lead singer? And so's look at this.

341
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.440
Utah's Division of Consumer Protection. It's
suing TikTok over allegations that the app's

342
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.559
addictive nature. There's your quote right
there, and it harms kids, and

343
00:25:53.640 --> 00:26:00.240
that TikTok deceptively obscures its relationship with
its parent company Byte Dance in China.

344
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.319
Utah is tough there. It's just
the latest in a long and growing string

345
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:10.160
of bands and legal actions from US
based governments and organizations to really rein in

346
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.720
TikTok's popularity. So Utah's governor,
they accuse the company of misleading parents that

347
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:22.200
it's apt to say for children,
and it violates Utah consumer sales. But

348
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.640
guess what. This isn't new and
I'm not ragging on TikTok. I'm giving

349
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.559
you facts. TikTok's facing challenges like
this across the US. Indiana made its

350
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:37.720
own similar allegations to Utah's. Maryland
school districts sue TikTok and actually other tech

351
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.240
giants also offer, you know,
overclaimed contributions to students mental health crisis.

352
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:48.880
Montana they passed a ban on TikTok
in May, which now TikTok is suing.

353
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:56.240
This is what we're We're coming to
lawsuits. I wonder as kids hear

354
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.839
this and kids get ticked like,
oh my god, I can't believe our

355
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.799
date or the government is banning something. I wonder how many lawyers are coming

356
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.799
out of this. Did I I
have so many of my friends or lawyers.

357
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.960
I am one of the few non
lawyers of my group. They're all

358
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.799
lawyers. And I didn't know.
And there tell me that less and less

359
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.079
people are going to law school?
Is this the reason why I don't know?

360
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.640
When I grew up, I didn't
know anything about lawsuits. Kids nowadays

361
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:19.759
that they want to find out what's
going on, well, TikTok and now

362
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.039
where there's a lawsuit. Really,
you know what, Mom and dad,

363
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.119
I think I want to be a
lawyer. This actually may be a good

364
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:26.359
thing at the end. Maybe this
we're going to get the kids to be

365
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.480
lawyers. But then again, do
we need more lawyers? Ah, a

366
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.599
question for you to ponder. As
we take a break here, you know

367
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.799
the number at seven, one,
three five. Oh. We continue when

368
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:41.119
we come back. We're going to
talk phones. Another new phone has been

369
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.240
released from another company. It's phone
season, people, and I will give

370
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:57.160
you the play by play. Call
this the final segment of this first hour.

371
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:03.000
Whether you're listening UHA live here towards
the noon hour on Saturday had JPRC

372
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:10.200
nine fifty or almost midnight on KPRC. Because it's so nice, they run

373
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.319
it twice. Thank you so much
to Pianeerics in our program director uh,

374
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.880
we are here to keep you company. Michael is the name seven one three

375
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.160
two one two five nine five ozho. You can pick up your phone and

376
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.960
call that number. Don't do it
while you're driving? What phone? Do

377
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:33.240
you have no doubt? Or the
past two thousand s them too. The

378
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.200
fifteen fifteen years, the pretty much
biggest topic that has overtaken the world of

379
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.559
technology has been the mobile phone.
And that was when the first Apple phone

380
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.559
came out, When the first iPhone
came out, change so many things.

381
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.240
Then there's apps. We live on
our mobile phones right now. Sales of

382
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.880
desktops have been down a bit,
the laptops too, and then there's the

383
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.920
tablets. But phone, phone phones. This is phone season, people.

384
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.759
The iPhone fifteen was just released,
what tow two weeks ago. I still

385
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.200
have not seen an iPhone fifteen out
in the wild. I would love to

386
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.559
hear from someone who bought one of
the iPhone fifteens. Call me, I

387
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.440
just gave you the number. How
does this sound? Is it good?

388
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.000
That's in relatively neat features? Wasn't
the biggest upgrade? The biggest and you

389
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:25.640
know when The biggest news, the
biggest factor, the biggest press release,

390
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.960
the biggest chattering buzz of a new
phone is when, oh, this phone

391
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.920
has a new type of charger.
The phone itself may not be a big

392
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:38.160
upgrade. I may be wrong if
your iPhone iPhone fifteen users tell me this

393
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.440
is the newest and greatest and latest
thing, other than the fact that you

394
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:48.279
now have a USB C type charger
instead of the lightning cable. I'm an

395
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:55.599
Android guy, proud of it.
Green dots unite people, and I've been

396
00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:00.119
using USBC in long time, fast, easy way to transfer data. More

397
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:06.880
and more cars they've got the USB
C versus the USB A type connector in

398
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.319
there too. Can't wait to some
of these Apple users who rag on me

399
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.720
for being an Android. Hey,
Mannah, my phone's dying. Can I

400
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:19.359
use your USBC charger? Oh you
want my charger that I've been using for

401
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:26.440
years because your new iPhone can't use
the old lightning cable. I don't know.

402
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.720
Let me give you my venmo.
Anyway, point is new phones are

403
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.960
being released, not just the iPhone
fifteen. Samsung came out Actually, well,

404
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:37.599
I know in July when I was
in South Korea, SamSam came out

405
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.720
with their new fold and Flip phones
too. They also came out a bout

406
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:47.200
a week or so ago. They
announced a line of their phones that are

407
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:53.680
really good prices. They're called mid
We're called mid range phones if you don't

408
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.440
want to spend just a thousands and
thousands of dollars, which phones can be

409
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:06.400
that expensive. Right now, they
have a Galaxy S twenty three FE the

410
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.920
letter FE. Let's call it Fan
Edition? Why not? Way? It

411
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:17.799
is really good features and it looks
like a similar Galaxy S twenty three,

412
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:22.920
which is a great foam phenomenal camera. Starts at six hundred dollars, all

413
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.920
right, the regular Galaxy S twenty
three. It starts a lot more than

414
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:33.880
that. It's got some AI powering
powered editing tools. Comes in several different

415
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.880
colors, tangerine. They got a
tangerine color. They also came out with

416
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.640
a Galaxy tab S nine. I
tried that gal It's a tablet. I

417
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.279
don't use a tablet a ton,
but their Galaxy Tablet S nine that I

418
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.759
tried out a few months ago phenomenal, long lasting battery. So now they

419
00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:55.680
got a tab S nine FE Fan
Edition. While you fans out that starts

420
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.759
at four to fifty four and fifty
dollars and then they have no This is

421
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:05.359
the first time they released some earbuds, Galaxy Buds FE Fan Edition wireless earbuds,

422
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.440
the longest battery life in the bud
series. I have not tried these

423
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:14.599
though. Thirty hours of audio playback
and they started ninety nine dollars. Not

424
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.720
bad because I think the regular Galaxy
Buds are probably a what a one nine

425
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.640
and they went on sale. Let's
see. Hold on the Galaxy Tablet FIE

426
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:30.640
and the Galaxy Buds. They were
available online last week in the Galaxy S

427
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:37.440
twenty three FE will be on Samsung
dot Com and other retailers starting on October

428
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.160
twenty fifth. All right, October
twenty six, So there you go.

429
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:46.160
That's one. We have Google that
just came out with a phone. Google

430
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:50.960
just came out with the Google Pixel
eight and the Google Pixel eight Pro.

431
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.119
Did you know people that there is
a Google phone. I talk about Android

432
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:58.000
all the time and people think that's
just Samsung with Androiz No, I mean

433
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.920
they're I mean, Motorola's got one, and g used to have them,

434
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:06.400
and one plus has them and it
goes on. Google has its own phone,

435
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.359
the Pixel eight in the Pixel eight
Pro, and the reviews have been

436
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.799
pretty strong too. Matter of fact, people are saying the Google Pixel eight

437
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:22.119
Pro is without a doubt, the
best Google Pixel ever to come out.

438
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.799
Good upgrades, right, And I'm
looking at this thing, and I have

439
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:31.160
not tried this thing yet, but
the display, it seems like they really

440
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:37.640
got the design correctly. There is
glass in the front and back, and

441
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.119
the rear glass is kind of like
a matte type of finish, and it's

442
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:46.079
got a typical six point seven inch
display. And but the display, the

443
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.839
refresh rate and to get I'm looking
at the specs, it varies all the

444
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.160
way down to one hundred and twenty
hertz, from from one twenty down to

445
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:58.440
one hurtz. But it's incredibly bright
the way it's done, twenty four hundred

446
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:04.160
nits of outdoor brightness. And Google
has something called these super ac Tua display.

447
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.759
I love how they come up with
these names like this. But anyway,

448
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.559
fifty megapixel main camera, it's got
a little larger aperture than the others.

449
00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.880
The ultra wide camera is now a
twelve megapixel sensor, and there's a

450
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:22.519
forty eight megapixel telephoto camera too,
and let me give you the prices to

451
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.719
pretty impressive package. They did increase
the price. It was nine hundred and

452
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.920
now it's a thousand this year,
but I still think it's a relatively pretty

453
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:36.079
good value proposition. I have not
tried this yet. That's the pixel the

454
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:40.119
Pixel eight pretty cool. It is
smaller, six point three inches. The

455
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:45.880
cameras are out there, still very
good, fifty megapixel camera. It's the

456
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.280
same thing. It's got an IP
sixty eight rating, which is good.

457
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.400
So i'd still make sure you put
cases on everything you're out there for.

458
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.480
But the really good part is the
price. In this the Google Pixel eight

459
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.079
starts at seven hundred dollars. Now
it's an increase of one hundred dollars,

460
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:07.199
but it's still a pretty good value. So whatever you're looking at, because

461
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:08.639
this is you know, hey mom, dad, I need a new phone.

462
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.239
It's the holiday season coming up.
There are a ton of things to

463
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.559
choose from out there. Yes there's
iPhones. There's a new iPhone. Yes,

464
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.480
there's a new several new Samsung fe's
out there only a few months old.

465
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.280
We've got the Fold five and the
Flip five from Samsung. There's things

466
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.440
to choose from, and don't rag
on Android people, it's I'm sick of

467
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.920
being bullied. Oh, the high
Tech Tuxon has an Android. Damn straight

470
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:45.320

fun Monday, the front of good
happy hours and all that stuff. Halloween's

534
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:45.039
coming up. My favorite holiday of
the year is Halloween holiday. Can we

535
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.199
get debate about this? It's we
don't we don't get off of school,

536
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:51.039
even though we probably should. I
mean, it's not Christmas, it's we're

537
00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:53.159
not celebrating in the you know,
somebody's birth when it's it's not Thanksgiving.

538
00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:58.119
We're you know, we're celebrating,
you know, Miles Standish and Charlie Brown.

539
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.320
It's not January first, we're celebrating
a new year. It's but the

540
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:07.599
is Valentine's Day a holiday? Is
Saint Patrick's Day a holiday? Now?

541
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:12.239
July fourth, Yes, that's a
holiday. Celebrating our independence. Halloween.

542
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:16.280
I mean, listen, we could
do if we define holidays of gift cards

543
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:22.079
from Hallmark or whatever and candy that
is related to a holiday. Yes,

544
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:30.159
because Valentine's Day, candy City,
Halloween, it's all about the candy we've

545
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:35.280
got. What are the kids,
Sir, Saint Patrick's is about beer,

546
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:40.239
Sinko to Mayo beer and having fun. Get back that to Halloween. Though

547
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:45.079
I don't celebrate Christmas, so Halloween
was it for me? Man and if

548
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:47.519
if, if a lot of my
friends are listening, if you know it.

549
00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:53.519
I went absolutely nuts decorating my home
three boys when they were younger,

550
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:59.800
I was. I was the Halloween
house. We had probably at the heyday,

551
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.519
about one hundred people in our house
or in the backyard. We brought

552
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:10.320
in a bounce house, jumpy thing
catered from companies here and there. Everybody

553
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.119
had to dress the parents had to
dress up, parents had to bring I

554
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:16.960
had a theme every year. One
year we all had to dress up.

555
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.440
His breakfast food cereal, so there
was everything from you know, snap crackle,

556
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:28.440
pop, Tony Tiger, the Quaker, Oatsman and the whole Dallas See.

557
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:32.679
I come up with themes and everybody
had to bring a Halloween themed food.

558
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.679
You know who has the great the
greatest Halloween One of the dudes I

559
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:42.840
work with here, Chad Knockanishi.
Chad Knockanishi works with us here at the

560
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.599
radio station. He's a producer.
He's so freaking creative. He had a

561
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.320
cat litter box. He literally bought
a cat litter box and then he came

562
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.440
up with he made some yummy food
that looked like cat litter, but it

563
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.800
was like tutsi rolls. And he
went out and he got a fake black

564
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.760
and he put it in there like
oh like it with the cat was doing

565
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:07.159
his business one every single year.
He is the best point is what's the

566
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:12.239
hottest Healay, Callum, I'm looking
at you, hottest Halloween costume? Now

567
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.360
you don't have any kids, Calum. And the reason I actually had kids

568
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.679
to start is so I can go
trick or treating again. My oldest son,

569
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:22.000
Justin born in August. Kid was
not two and a half months old,

570
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:27.800
sleeping my arms that October and I
went door to door asking for a

571
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.880
candy for my little son who was
two and a half months old. I

572
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.880
live and die by Reeses, and
you know that Okay, we got Travis

573
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:39.760
Kelsey and Taylor Swift blah blah,
yeah yeah in in Barbie. What else

574
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:45.760
but the kids? I mean,
the girls are gonna are gonna be little

575
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:52.480
tiny girls. They'll do Barbie.
I guess the guys will do Ken Do

576
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:59.280
we do? I mean, Rianna
Drake? Is it your favorite football player?

577
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.239
Is it anybody political? Remember the
Trump mask. Every time there's a

578
00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.559
there's a there's a national election,
there's the mask, the Biden mask,

579
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:08.920
the Trump mask, the George Bush
mask. I remember going back, Remember

580
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:13.360
the Jimmy Carter mass. That's how
far I go back. Favorite mask seven

581
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.920
one three two one two five nine
five V. What are you dressing?

582
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:21.519
Aps? And you know what?
Should you have an excess amount of anything

583
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:23.280
Reeses, which, by the way, I think the Reese's line now is

584
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:29.760
probably about two hundred and eighty five
different categories and pieces of everything. Feel

585
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.480
free to ship them here to the
station for me, and I will share

586
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:37.440
them with other underprivileged people who never
get candy. I'm lying. I'm actually

587
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.599
gonna eat every single one of that
seven one three two one two five nine

588
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.639
five V. When we come back, I'm gonna talk about I just got

589
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:45.039
an email, though, Michael,
what is the number one app that you

590
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:50.000
use not on your phone? What
is a program or a piece of software

591
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:52.039
or a website that you go to
most often? And I thought about it,

592
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.039
and I actually have an answer.
It is probably one of the more

593
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:59.280
usable apps online that I've ever used
before, because it does so many things.

594
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:15.440
I'll tell you what that is.
Yep, it's me again. We're

595
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.400
back. We still got about forty
minutes or so, forty five minutes of

596
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:22.639
this high tech Texan show. Thank
you for tuning me in late night for

597
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.639
all you people driving late at night
coming home from the bars. Thank you

598
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.280
for tuning in to nine fifty am. That's right. We do a repeat.

599
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:36.480
Just it's it's it's not we have
lack of programming. It's just damn

600
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:42.000
good content. For almost a quarter
of a decade here, it's called the

601
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.760
High Deck Dechsan Show. We do
talk more about technology. We do all

602
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.440
of consumer lifestyles. Coming up,
I'll talk about some of the cars.

603
00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.159
I every week I get to driving
a car. This is people don't believe

604
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:58.039
this, it's we do get We
we have perks. Everybody's got a perk

605
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:00.119
in what they do. You know, maybe your company got tickets to sports

606
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:04.320
events or whatever. Actually we do
here, even though I don't get any

607
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.760
Astros tickets, the fact that we
broadcast the Astros game, but that's okay.

608
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:12.000
I got some concerts here and there. What I do, specifically,

609
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:19.440
it's I have to review products,
and so companies will send me a lot

610
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:22.840
of cool things. And I talked
about kitchen gadgets last hour, because you

611
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.440
know, I was giving you ideas
of what the buy or what the return

612
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.719
from your Amazon Prime deck. But
I also, fifteen plus years ago started

613
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:36.760
reviewing vehicles and cars and trucks.
There's an organization I am a member of,

614
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.880
actually a board member of it.
It's called the Texas Auto Writers Association,

615
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:45.880
where fifteen plus years ago, they're
actually used to be people who write

616
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.360
wrote things like in the Houston Chronicle. Like a good friend of mine,

617
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.559
Tim Spell, used to be the
automotive see your automotive writer for you know,

618
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:57.000
the for the Houston Chronicle, a
lot of syndicated stuff, you know,

619
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.480
Car and Driver, all these magazine
they review vehicles, and so manufacturers

620
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:09.840
lend for about a week or so
vehicles for auto writers and auto reviewers to

621
00:47:09.880 --> 00:47:15.079
test. I am on that list
every single week of the year, I

622
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.920
get a brand new car to drive. It is not from a dealership.

623
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.920
I do not endorse a dealership.
I don't know why I don't endorse a

624
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.360
dealership. Maybe our sales folks here
a little lazy and they forget that.

625
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:30.000
I, for fifteen years have reviewed
cars. I'm also very picky with dealerships.

626
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.480
I do know some good dealerships,
and there's probably only one dealership in

627
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.719
this entire area who I would endorse, and I'm not saying that. But

628
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.159
let's go back to the manufacturers.
I get to drive trucks, I get

629
00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:43.480
to drive sports cars, I get
to drive Mini vans, I get to

630
00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.679
drive electric cars. Don't know what
I'm gonna get because it comes from a

631
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:50.199
service that really kind of gathers these
vehicles, most of them made in Michigan

632
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:52.280
because that's where a lot of our
manufacturing is, and I get to play

633
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:55.480
with them. So my review and
I do not get paid. It is

634
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:01.679
zero percent paid. It is one
hundred percent content. I will tell you

635
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:07.159
if this car is kind of crappy, I will tell you if this car

636
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.679
is an incredible bot. I will
tell you if this vehicle is something that

637
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:13.840
the first vehicle that you should test. You you'd be looking for a car.

638
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.559
I mean, I'm gonna tell you
like it is. So if you

639
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.719
want me. If you're thinking about
buying a vehicle, and maybe you're deciding

640
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.239
between one or two. Maybe you
want a three row suv, maybe you

641
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:27.719
want a fast sports car. Maybe
what's your favorite electric vehicle? Feel free

642
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.559
to call, feel free to email
me. Go to high tech text in

643
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:32.480
dot com found my email and just
say, Michael, have you reviewed anything

644
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.239
in this category? And I will
bring it. I'll respond to you or

645
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:38.000
I'll bring it up on the topic
over here. Over the past few weeks,

646
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:45.119
I have driven. I was in
a really, really impressive Buick last

647
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.599
week and I didn't even know they
released this thing, and I had it.

648
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.920
It's called the Buick Invista E n
V I S t V I S

649
00:48:52.000 --> 00:49:00.400
t A. It's a SUV two
rows, hatchback, amazing room and for

650
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:04.480
the price. Think this thing is
right around twenty nine thousand dollars. I'm

651
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:07.880
all over this place. This is
good. I was very impressive with Buick.

652
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:10.480
It's not your father's Buicks, not
Buick and Vista. It's good ride,

653
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:15.960
comfort, nice technology. That's a
new one. That I never heard

654
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:21.639
of. Currently this week, I'm
at a Corvette Stop yep, my favorite

655
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:23.400
car of all time. I am
a vet guy. I will next week.

656
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:28.119
I will give you the full play
by play of how that work electure

657
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.440
vehicles. I'm down on those two
that are pretty good. I'll give you

658
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:34.400
more reviews later in the show.
But I have to pay off this thing.

659
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.599
I have to pay off an email
that I tease. Got an email

660
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.280
over here. This is from Jennifer. Jennifer is in pair Land. Jennifer

661
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:44.599
says, Hey, Michael, what
is your most used app or a piece

662
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:50.760
of software that you just can't live
without? And I thought about that,

663
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.599
and then I go into my desktop
because I at home. I pretty much

664
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:59.800
live and die on my desktop,
and I'm looking for my most used apps,

665
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:01.239
and I forgot about it, like
it should have been popped into my

666
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.639
mind because of course I use this
every and this again, I'm just telling

667
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.880
you this. This is not a
paid anything. I wish this company would

668
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:09.360
pay me because I use it so
often too. I use it. I

669
00:50:09.480 --> 00:50:13.599
use a piece of software, an
app called it's not even a software,

670
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:15.719
it's it's a web based utility.
You don't even need to download anything.

671
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:24.159
It's called Zamsar. Anyone zam Zaar
and what it is. It's an online

672
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:34.119
file conversion website if you need to
convert any file into almost any other file

673
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:39.639
format. I've used this thing for
ten years, twelve years. I used

674
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:43.119
to recommend app like you know,
kiss my app? That was my thing?

675
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:45.119
What was my app of the day. I don't do it. This

676
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.559
thing probably is my all time favorite. It's not it, I mean you

677
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.920
can download it. I don't use
this as an app because I just literally

678
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:57.000
go to zamzar dot com and I
convert things. It'll take document file formats,

679
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.239
so we could take anything from word
making a PDF. It could take

680
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:04.239
image file formats, so if you
want a JPEG and you want to make

681
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.039
it like a PNG or something.
It'll take audio file formats. And I

682
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.400
use Zamzar probably for audio more than
anything else, because when I record things

683
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:17.679
on my show sometimes they come out
as MP four files. Well MP three's

684
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.039
are actually the standard because it's more
compressed. I upload, it takes a

685
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.719
matter of seconds. Here's a link, and it spits it out into an

686
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:31.480
MP three. It'll convert video file
formats number thing, so from documents if

687
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:36.719
you have if you have like a
CSV, which is a common Comma separated

688
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.960
value file. It's just a lot
of information. It'll, i mean matter

689
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.519
of seconds, it'll put it into
a Microsoft word, it'll make it a

690
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.880
PDF, it'll make it an XLS
spreadsheet. It just does a ton of

691
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:52.480
stuff. So to answer your question
again, I'm just answering emails over here.

692
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:58.199
My most used thing that I use
it so much, it's I didn't

693
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:02.280
even think about it because it's part
of my almost daily, certainly four or

694
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:08.239
five six times a weeks conversion thing. And you can download something on your

695
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:12.880
desk that which goes up. It's
Oh, by the way, it's free

696
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:16.960
to use. Now. They'll only
let you use it one or two times

697
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:21.039
a day for free, and then
you can sign up and you can get

698
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.679
a an unlimited type of thing,
which in ten years I've never had to

699
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:28.159
do that. But that is it. And I'll I'll fill this out and

700
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:29.719
get to the bottom of the hour
over here. And I got a really

701
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:36.039
good guest coming up talk about food
favorite. What is the most used tool,

702
00:52:36.239 --> 00:52:37.360
app, piece of software that you
got use. I'd love to hear

703
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:40.840
it if you If you're too shy
to call seven one three two one two

704
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.920
five nine five. Huh, go
to my x site. It's high tech

705
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:47.760
texting. H I g h T

706
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:51.400
Also threads. I'm also on threads. I've been given that. Some

00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:54.079
love high tech text and h I

708
00:52:54.280 --> 00:53:00.719

will type may not even so much.

709
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:02.920
Your mobile phone, I can tell
you right now. The most used is

710
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:07.320
it for me? It's either my
text or my camera or actually my email.

711
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:12.079
I use the Outlook email too.
I don't even I rarely use my

712
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:19.639
phone app. A phone is actually
an app on your smart device. Text

713
00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:22.519
so much more something all right,
when we come back, give you some

714
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:28.159
ideas. I got a fourth anniversary
of a big, really really nice,

715
00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:32.199
high end luscious restaurant in downtown used
in debt is coming up. We'll tell

716
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:35.599
you how to get tickets about that. It's kind of a big chef thing

717
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:38.519
if you like tasting little tidbits of
different food from all over the city.

718
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:43.760
You got that. And then one
final wrap up, little cars and some

719
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:57.360
of your questions here on high Tech
next to shut back at it. I

720
00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:00.440
hope everybody is having a wonderful day
or night depending on when you are listening

721
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:05.360
to this radio show also slash podcast. It is Michael Garfield. Only been

722
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.719
doing it for what two decades here
in and around the Houston area. It's

723
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:14.320
always nice to run into not only
listeners, but some other business owners,

724
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.559
and certainly I love restaurateurs. You
listen to my show, it's certainly not

725
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:22.280
just technology, it's consumer lifestyle.
And I do like me some eating and

726
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:24.760
I like me some drinking, and
it's nice to meet the people in that

727
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:28.559
industry for all this time I've been
doing it, one of which is a

728
00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:30.119
good buddy of mine who I have
seen hop and hop and hop in the

729
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:35.320
restaurant in the food and beverage service
industry for a long time. And this

730
00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:38.400
cat has made it. He is
a great guy and he continues to make

731
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:42.719
his mark here in and around the
Houston area. He is with one of

732
00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.639
my favorite restaurants in the city right
now called Guard and Grace. It's downtown

733
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:50.159
Houston, along with other cities that
if you haven't been at, this is

734
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.039
I mean, if you want steaks, if you want fish, if you

735
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:57.000
want cocktails, and the decor is
great, you really need to check this

736
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.559
out. But I'm gonna let my
man in his big mouth to tell it

737
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.360
to us in his own words.
His name is Elliott Wood. He's the

738
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:06.559
general manager of Garden Grace. He's
been on the show many many times before.

739
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:09.000
Ellie. Remember back in the day
where one of your restaurants you created

740
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.840
a cocktail named after me? Remember
those days? Oh, that's right,

741
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:19.159
I do remember that. Yeah,
the high Tech Texan Teenie or the high

742
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.079
Tech Teeny. There it was,
Ellie. You put me on the map.

743
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:23.599
I'm gonna put you on the map. Now. Is that a good

744
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:28.800
reciprocation? I love it. Man, let's go, let's go. No,

745
00:55:28.840 --> 00:55:30.400
I'm serious. But you have been
in the industry of walk congrats man.

746
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:35.840
You continue to excel and really find
yourself with some great organizations. And

747
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:39.920
actually you're bleeding Guarden Grace, which
is in downtown Houston. And for those

748
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.599
who've never been there, how would
you describe it? I mean, I

749
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:46.719
walk in. It's just first of
all, it's the design I didn't want

750
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:49.960
to eat. It's like can you
see him number one? Oh, by

751
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.400
the way, you be a phenomenal
food. How do you describe your place

752
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:54.880
from top to bottom? Well?
Absolutely, you know it is a delight

753
00:55:55.039 --> 00:55:59.039
for this sense. It is all
the way across the board. We are

754
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:01.760
the modern state house, which differentiates
us a little bit. You know,

755
00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:05.639
there's a lot of great steakhouses in
Houston, a lot of great steakhouses that

756
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:09.559
are serving amazing food. But with
us, the modern steakhouse speaks to a

757
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:14.519
more contemporary approach to what we're doing. It is the design that you've mentioned.

758
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:17.559
We've won quite a few architectural awards
with this fifteen thousand square foot location

759
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.519
here in Houston. The music we
play is different, it's more contemporary,

760
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:27.039
but even how the food itself is
crafted. We are founded by one sleeve

761
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:31.519
haftooed rock star chef out of Hawaii, and it definitely shows every steak is

762
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:36.000
not just steak on a plate.
We finish it with beald demi chived butter

763
00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:39.119
nok fired carrots, and then you
can definitely see the inventiveness when it comes

764
00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:43.880
together and the other dishes that complement
the menu. Chef Troy Guard likes to

765
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:47.199
bring elements together and makes them work
that you wouldn't imagine and your life that

766
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:52.360
would come together. We have this
amazing hamachi sashimi dish that we finished with

767
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:57.519
strawberry pop rocks on the plate.
It's always a show. That's crazy,

768
00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.119
man, it's great. And you
know, whether it's that or red fish

769
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:05.440
from the Gulf that we finished with
popcorn, it's lovely to see how these

770
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:07.760
different elements can come together. And
that's part of what defines us as the

771
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:14.840
contemporary steakhouse or continental social cuisine,
which is what all of Chef Troy his

772
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:19.599
restaurants are really a celebration of his
travels and his coming up throughout the restaurant

773
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:23.239
industry and his life and his career
and Chef Troy Gard you talk about I

774
00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:27.400
know he's based in Denver, and
I've met him so many times because he

775
00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.199
comes back and forth all the time. He'll be in town this next month

776
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:34.679
of November. We'll talk about the
sect. But just a creative guy and

777
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.320
he hires some good people too.
I know. He can't be here in

778
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:39.920
your kitchen day to day. So
you've got Chef Adam on site, who

779
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:45.519
is a character himself, and it's
just the presentation and everything is it's so

780
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.199
good. And you know, listen
like I do, like a little red

781
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:52.679
meat, but your fish and just
everything else. You talk about tomachi too,

782
00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:53.760
it's one of the reasons why I
go, because you know, I

783
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:58.960
bring a group of people, they
get their phenomenal stakes on your meat board,

784
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:01.440
your meat flatter, which is just
something that people continue to talk about.

785
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:06.079
And then I get my great salad, my great martinis. You just

786
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:09.800
you suit the census for everybody.
Absolutely. Yeah. And you mentioned those

787
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:14.159
boards. That's something signature we do
as well. We call them chin going

788
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.920
boards. It's actually Texas wood.
It's a live edge wood that we take

789
00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:21.559
and we were able to put a
spread of different cuts of meat in front

790
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:22.920
of a guest. And if you've
got a party or four or six,

791
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:29.119
it's an opportunity to really try a
few different kinds of steaks, seafood and

792
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:31.840
see what we're about all in one
visit, so everybody has a little something

793
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:35.519
to try. I only just four
or six. I mean I think you

794
00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:37.639
have a party of one hundred of
board. I mean you do a lot

795
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:39.920
of restaurant buyouts. I've been to
so many private parties because you got it's

796
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:44.079
a it's a two level restaurant.
You don't find a lot of two level

797
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:50.159
restaurants, certainly in downtown Houston that
is just just equipped for so many parties

798
00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:52.639
in terms of your cock deilary over
here, your sit down dinners, your

799
00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:57.239
presentations. I mean, this space
is amazing. It's the location exactly what's

800
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.000
the address, because I already got
two emails coming in. Where are you?

801
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.199
We're at a five hundred Dallas Street. We're in the Allen Center,

802
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:07.039
downtown intersection of Smith and Dallas.
Our la is right out front there and

803
00:59:07.920 --> 00:59:10.719
you'll find us in the first floor. You come in and you got our

804
00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:14.559
signs right there, and we are
fifteen thousand spur feet, so it's a

805
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:16.320
big footprint. It's hard to miss. And like you said, it's two

806
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:22.360
stories. We've got five different private
room configurations, so whether it's eight guests

807
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:27.320
or eighty, we have a way
to accommodate him and do everything from birthdays

808
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.519
to corporate luncheon and dinners. We're
talking to Elliot. What Elliott is the

809
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.599
general manager of Guard and Grace.
It is downtown, the contemporary steakhouse.

810
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:38.840
So I mentioned the fact that Troy
Gard himself is coming to it comes to

811
00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:42.599
town regularly, but he'll specifically be
here Elliott, and this is what we

812
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.480
call teeming it up for you.
On Wednesday, November fifteenth, you guys

813
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:50.519
are celebrating your I can't believe it
fourth anniversary because I remember going to your

00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:52.280

skinny of what's happening that night. Yeah.

816
00:59:55.559 --> 01:00:00.719
Absolutely, we are calling this an
Ohanna affair. We're celebrating our fourth

817
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:07.039
anniversary and that will be November fifteenth
here at Garden Grace. It's a celebration

818
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:13.119
with some other local chefs. We're
collaborating that evening to make a culinary adventure

819
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:16.960
come to light. Chef Troy is
going to be joined by Chef hugo Ortega,

820
01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:22.719
Aaron Bludorn, Travis McShane, Levi
Good Chef Drake Leonards, all amazing

821
01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:28.119
chefs here locally in Houston. And
then we're benefiting a nonprofit called Kids Meals,

822
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:34.320
Inc. Which is an amazing,
amazing foundation whose mission is to end

823
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.840
childhood hunger here in Harris County.
So all in all and amazing events.

824
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:42.559
We're going to have passed fights that
are created by all the chefs. We're

825
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.559
going to have a couple of signature
cocktails we create. We're just gonna throw

826
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:47.440
a party. It's going to be
a great time. You can find the

827
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:52.119
tickets at Gardengrace dot com. There's
seventy five dollars taxi fortuity. So we're

828
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:55.239
looking to bring in, you know, hundreds of people for a celebration like

829
01:00:55.280 --> 01:01:00.639
no other here for our fourth anniversary
at Garden Grace. You listed a lot

830
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:05.239
of some chefs that I'm familiar with, Levi Good obviously from Good Company.

831
01:01:05.239 --> 01:01:07.480
You got Blue Dorm, which is
a hot restaurant in itself. You know

832
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:12.199
right now Hugo or Taga Man,
that dude is just got some kara calling

833
01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:15.039
up and down. And so it
how these collabs work. Does does does

834
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:17.880
chef Troy Guard do? They They
kind of get together and they just have

835
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:22.039
the They sit, they sit like
what's the craziest thing that we can come

836
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:24.159
up with or you know, or
take obviously, do you want to put

837
01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:28.039
your Latin spin on something? And
I'm going to put my Denver spin on

838
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:30.719
something. I mean, I'd love
to sit in a planning room with that

839
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.559
stuff. So you know, that's
the real fun part of what we do.

840
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:37.119
And you know the day of when
these events happen, you're going to

841
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:43.039
see these chefs come together with their
teams and they've already got what we call

842
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.199
a mes setup of what's going to
go into the dishes, and they will

843
01:01:46.199 --> 01:01:51.519
team up with actual team members from
Guarding Grace. So there'll be a different

844
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:53.840
station set up in the kitchen for
each one of these chefs, and they

845
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:58.840
will showcase how to build one of
these plated bites as we call it,

846
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:04.199
and then our team will take it
from there and reproduce that and make two,

847
01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:07.760
three, four, five hundred different
bytes for that chef. So we

848
01:02:07.800 --> 01:02:13.039
will have thousands of bites floating the
restaurants throughout the event, so you can

849
01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:15.320
taste these wonderful creations from each one
of these celebrity chefs here in Houston.

850
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.239
That's a great way to sample so
many things. That plus, also if

851
01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:22.559
no one's ever been to Guard Grace, it's a great opportunity for you just

852
01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:23.280
to kind of, you know,
go in there and take a look around

853
01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:27.599
so you can come back again.
An Ohana affair. Going back to the

854
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.000

855
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:32.440

856
01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:37.400
a layer around my neck? Where
do I go? I'm torn? You

860
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:54.599
steakhouse, and we just most everybody
address is like kind of a casual elegance,

861
01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:58.840
but we're here to have a good
time. It's a cocktail party.

862

01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:26.559
choire, starting off with Guard and
Grace. It Is that good? All

889
01:04:26.599 --> 01:04:28.719
right, We're gonna take a break
right now because I'm hungry. I gotta

890
01:04:28.679 --> 01:04:30.880
get a snack. This is the
high tech text and show. You're listening

891
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:34.840
locally on kp RC nine fifty a
M Talk radio and around the world on

892
01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:48.480
iHeartRadio. Michael gard builds the name. We're gonna be right back final seven

893
01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:51.320
right now. I do appreciate you
hanging in here. See how fun it

894
01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:55.199
is. Should you be listening for
the first time, it's up beats.

895
01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:58.360
We don't get too deep into things
other than the fact that I do thank

896
01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:03.159
you with my first set. Much
about the horrific goings on in Israel right

897
01:05:03.239 --> 01:05:09.800
now, and we hope that ends
absolutely as soon as possible, because it

898
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:13.920
is just horrific in times. But
we have to muddle on and take care

899
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.880
of business and try to continue to
talk and entertain you no matter what it

900
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:20.519
is. That's why we watch sports, I don't know. It's why we

901
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:26.079
exercise, why we hug our kids, It's why we think about what's happening

902
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:29.920
for Halloween on the holidays, That's
why we shopped on Amazon Prime. This

903
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:32.880
world is so big. It's just
tough to realize that there's just a lot

904
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:38.400
of crap going on everywhere. So
go ahead and hug your kids and try

905
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:43.960
to disseminate what the truth is what's
not the truth through the crazy social media.

906
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:46.480
But we do want to wind up
this segment over here, and I

Texas and have it delivered to your door

Thomas Cattle and Catering dot com. All

932
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:42.559
right, now I'm getting hungry people. All right, what do we wrap

933
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:45.440
up over here? We talked about
the Amazon. I got some emails over

934
01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:48.000
here. People bought a lot of
Amazon Prime stuff. A lot of people

935
01:07:48.039 --> 01:07:51.880
seem to be that you waited.
This is this. Amazon used to do

936
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:55.920
their Prime Day every year in July, which they did, and now they're

937
01:07:55.920 --> 01:07:58.559
holding a second one. This is
I think the second or third year they've

938
01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:01.079
done it in October. It was
two days earlier this week, but it

939
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:06.719
seems to be because I haven't seen
Amazon release any This is how many products

940
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:10.679
we sold, and this is our
record deal. I think people now they're

941
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:15.239
so comes customed to waiting for Black
Friday deals, which and if you go

942
01:08:15.279 --> 01:08:18.000
back to the traditional why do they
name it Black Friday? It was the

943
01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:21.680
day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday now
pretty much is going to start the end

944
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:27.800
of October or early November. So
maybe people I haven't been used the Amazon

945
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.600
Prime thing, so anyway, whatever, And so I'm getting all the lot

946
01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:34.319
of questions, which product is the
best? Did I do the right thing

947
01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:40.079
by waiting to buy the earbudgs or
the earphones or something before the Black Friday?

948
01:08:40.359 --> 01:08:43.920
Yeah, you're fine. You're going
to see probably better deals from all

949
01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:47.000
these other manufacturers over the next two
months. So if you missed out on

950
01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:54.159
Amazon or you're not an Amazon Prime. Remember, fine, good for you.

951
01:08:54.159 --> 01:08:56.800
You still got a ton and I'm
gonna start counting down that things here

952
01:08:56.800 --> 01:09:00.479
in the next give you about two
weeks or so off to Halloween. There

953
01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:08.159
is a consensus that the number one
opall Halloween costume seems to be Taylor Swift

954
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:14.600
and uh, Travis Kelcey. Want
to be funny. If somebody, you

955
01:09:14.680 --> 01:09:19.000
know, these kids who in the
NFL is just loving the publicity because they're

956
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:23.600
bringing in so many young female viewers
to the Kansas City Chiefs NFL game.

957
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:28.079
I want to be funny. If
Travis kelce has a brother who plays for

958
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:31.960
the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason kelce want
to be funny. If Taylor Swift costume

959
01:09:32.039 --> 01:09:38.520
and somebody brought a Jason Kelsey Green
Eagles shirt versus the Travis Kelcey, they

960
01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:42.880
get it mixed up. Actually would
be funnier because I'm so sick of seeing

961
01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:45.560
and hearing about the Travis Kelsey Taylor
Swift thing. Somebody should go is Jason

962
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:49.960
Kelcey and Rihanna the other Kelsey you
know. I think he's married though,

963
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:56.920
so Kenon Barbie is a close Number
two and then Barbenheimer, somebody's gonna go

964
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.840
half as Barbie and half is Oppenheimer
barbon Irick because those movies were released in

965
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:05.680
the same day back in July.
So other than that, we've got I'm

966
01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:16.000
getting more emails in tweets over here
clowns devils, which is sexy? At

967
01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:24.319
what age do you become the sexy
nurse versus a nurse? Sadly right now

968
01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:27.279
that age is getting young. It's
easily in college, if not late high

969
01:10:27.279 --> 01:10:30.920
school years all's And by the way, people are already offering to get their

970
01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:35.600
excess recees after October thirty first and
send them over. I really don't need

971
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:40.239
all that chocolate and peanut butter,
but those are the two greatest substances known

972
