00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:40.960
gadgets. Heard worldwide on the iHeartRadio
Act. Now your high tech Textan.

6
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:46.759
Michael Garfield. Happy Saturday for those
of you listening lot on kp R C

7
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.759
nine fifty and Michael is the name. And I'm not going to say why

8
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.960
are you listening? Well, how
about this? I hope you are listening

9
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.240
with two ears while maybe having at
least one, potentially two of your eyes

10
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.320
on March mad people, one of
my favorite times of the year, and

11
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:03.640
not talking a lot about it.
Well, you know what I will talk

12
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.280
about it if you know what I
have done for the past thirty five plus

13
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.239
years, this weekend, every weekend, well since I began this show.

14
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.120
You are listening plausibly live from Las
Vegas people. Is there a better place

15
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.000
to be than Las Vegas? Number
one? Throughout the year? Is there

16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.280
a better place to watch and be
a part of March Madness and potentially lose

17
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:33.560
money but potentially win money. Then
Las Vegas been out here since Wednesday.

18
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.599
Tip Off Round one was Thursday.
You got your Houston kooks? Who you

19
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:46.000
got your brackets? I generally start
this show off with I know your brackets

20
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.599
busted, blah blah blah blah.
You your bag. Your bracket is always

21
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.680
going to be busted. It's just
there're the other people in your pool just

22
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.879
as busted as yours. Listen,
I'm more than happy to take your phone

23
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.920
calls about your bracket. Still,
God, who's left alive in the tournament?

24
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.280
Seven one three two one two five
nine five zero. No matter if

25
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.680
I'm in the studio or not the
studio right now, good old Callum Reid

26
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.439
and the boys are back there punching
the buttons and making sure that I am

27
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:20.280
broadcast all over Southeast Texas terrestriallylack I
have for twenty two plus years, but

28
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.560
also all over the Internet. Thank
you for dyl Ludy, the iHeartRadio app.

29
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.280
I'll be here for the next hour
and forty five minutes and then I

30
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.199
guess, let's see UH does not
play today on Saturday. My University of

31
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.800
Texas Longhorns who put it up today. So I hope all is what march

32
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:44.400
madness. The real madness is believing
that you actually have a chance of filling

33
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.560
out a perfect bracket. A perfect
bracket. The odds of that. But

34
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.759
you may have heard this this week. The odds of a perfect bracket one

35
00:02:53.039 --> 00:03:00.000
in nine point two quinn killion if
you were to pick each of the games

36
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.960
through a coin flip. But if
you know something about basketball, nice to

37
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.400
meet you. The odds improve to
one in one hundred and twenty billion.

38
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.360
All right, So I got that
going for me. I got to have

39
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.439
quick breaking news. I did not
have another a perfect bracket for the first

40
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.360
probably for the fiftieth consecutive year that
I have been doing the brackets for a

41
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.280
long, long, long time.
What else you got for listen? Today?

42
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.240
We are going to talk about a
number of interesting things, including the

43
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:35.599
FCC. Do we like you?
We actually hear? Because this original originates

44
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.960
as a live radio program, not
a podcast, I have to follow some

45
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.479
FCC rules, which means there's a
few certain words that I cannot say.

46
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.039
But then when it goes to podcasts, you could say any f up any

47
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:55.599
you could say anything that you want. FCC actually did this a solid You

48
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.479
don't hear that a lot when it
comes to internet speeds. And for all

49
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:08.960
you streamers out there, streams nothing
but a stream Hulu. I actually have

50
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.599
Hulu. I signed up for Hulu
last December for ninety nine cents a month,

51
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:18.240
and you should have two if you
use someone else's password, because guess

52
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:23.240
what happened this week you ain't using
that password anymore. Hulu becomes the latest

53
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.040
streamer to crack down on passwords,
following Netflix and a few others. And

54
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.360
I will tell you who is up
next the summer, and you and your

55
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.800
kids are not gonna be happy about
that. You know the phone number,

56
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:42.120

58
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.639

the whole thing else It is high tech

59
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:56.680
Texan. If you're too shy to
pick up the phone call, feel free

60
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.680
to post a little something and maybe
I'll give you a shout out. The

61
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.240
madness is indeed arrived, having a
fun time here in Las Vegas. This

62
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:08.959
is my not that said, I
guess humble brag or it's like for those

63
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.000
of you who can't stay in Vegas, as you're not gonna like my fourth

64
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:17.120
straight month in Las Vegas. I'm
going this is so far the record.

65
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:24.639
I've been coming to Vegas for forty
this is my fortieth year. I did

66
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:29.680
come before I could legally gamble,
but I can hear forty years in Las

67
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.240
Vegas. The average, I ually
get to Vegas three to four times a

68
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.319
year. This is my fourth time
in a row. So who knows some

69
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.079
way, it's just it's a blast. I do not go did Michael,

70
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.439
what shows do you go to?
I don't go to any shows forty years,

71
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.000
well over one hundred and fifty times, two hundred times to Vegas.

72
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.800
If I've seen five shows, have
any kind of my life on lying.

73
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.680
I don't see shows. I sit
in front of it. It depends where

74
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.399
this week, me and my say
eight guys from our college days, our

75
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.720
thirty fifth, thirty sixth year of
gathering together. I love telling that story

76
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.720
because a lot of my people go, oh, that's so cool. I

77
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.480
should have done that. What a
neat tradition? Yeah, shut up,

78
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.000
you should have done that. It's
a phenomenal tradition. Sadly, I've never

79
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.319
spent an entire spring break with my
family when my kids were young, because

80
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.600
it's like, guess what, Daddy
is going to Las Vegas for spring break?

81
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.879
And it is a blast. We
sit and watch TV pretty much all

82
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.600
days with all the round one,
round two games, we hit the craps

83
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.319
table in the afternoon. Between the
morning and the afternoon games, we hit

84
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.160
the pool that we do a dice
dinner and then we pass out. I

85
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.120
do wake up, I go to
the gym, and then we repeat and

86
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.040
rinse, repeat all over again.
So no matter how much you were watching

87
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:55.959
it, how much time have you
wasted on Thursday and Friday of already from

88
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.279
your work? I bet your boss
is not too happy about you. But

89
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.759
hopefully you'll beat your boss in in
the pool. But if you don't watch

90
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.600
college basketball, you probably are have
been screaming at your TV simply because an

91
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.439
unpaid nineteen year old missed a free
throw. Yes, this is what we

92
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.920
do. It's sorry about that.
Check it out the time over here,

93
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.000
we're going to take a quick break. That's how we start the show.

94
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.959
We don't really get into too much
technology. It's a pop lifestyle. What

95
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.319
is going on show. Last week
we talked a little about what was happening

96
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.319
with Kate Middleton. Has she been
seen? She's like the elusive Bigfoot right

97
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:39.759
now because somebody posted a photo on
Twitter of her and Prince William maybe walking

98
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.360
out of a grocery store holding some
bags. Let me help you out,

99
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.839
people, I really don't care about
the story. I mean, whatever the

100
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:53.120
damn monarchy does. You don't believe
it. They are worthless there whatever,

101
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.279
but let me help you out.
I will tell you this. They are

102
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.560
massively, massively rich. They could
do any damn thing they want in that

103
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.319
country, England. The hell if
Prince William and Princess Kate are walking to

104
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.079
and from a grocery store with grocery
bags, HGB. I am deploring right

105
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600
now open up a store somewhere in
England. So at least they have curbside

106
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.839
pickup. That is all I ask
for this week of March. All right,

107
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.519
coming back, it is the High
Tech Decks It Show. It's Michael

108
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:31.879
Garpo's dead by my brands. I've
been answering some emails if you want to

109
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.919
know what we do during the commercial
breaks over here. I am always online.

110
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.639
I got at least one eye up
on the TV watching a little match,

111
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.440
madness. I got one mouth in
front of the microphone. I got

112
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.960
two earphones so I can hear Callum
talk to me. What are you whispering?

113
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.159
Callum? Really? You got uh
going all the way. I mean,

114
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.919
I'll tell you what, march madness. I have like five brackets,

115
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.360
five six brackets you know online where
someboddies like that man I got I got

116
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.360
UH going all the way. I've
got Yukon just they're just they're so,

117
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.200
they're so tough. I'm not high
on UT this year. Last year I

118
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.799
had UT going to the final four. I mean it was made for UT.

119
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.320
Last year. It was in Houston
and they were doing great, and

120
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.960
both Houston and Texas where they were
one game half a game away from going

121
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.320
to the final four. So it's
in Phoenix, Arizona in three weeks.

122
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.000
I have no clue. Who is
going tell you what? Don't sleep.

123
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.240
I got some sleepers. James Madison
one of my sleepers. I can tell

124
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.200
you this now because I've already submitted
my pool brackets and the and so of

125
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.799
you, so we shall see it
is garf. Also some emails over here.

126
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.679
What I'm doing? Somebody said,
hey, Michael, I saw you

127
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.360
on Great Day Houston, Shadow eleven. I had no clue that's what you

128
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:48.679
look like. Why are you wasting
your time on radio? Is that calumb

129
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:52.799
Is that a compliment? I maybe
I don't know. I do radio two.

130
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.000
I am a double threat. I'm
a triple threat. I am a

131
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.320
radio TV social media personality. Take
that, people, That was me on

132
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.799
Great Day Houston. I am a
regular contributor and I was doing a which

133
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:13.440
seems like my annual segment on outdoor
grilling gadgets and accessories every every spring,

134
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.480
yeah, early to late spring.
The folks great. They uston debraa knunkin

135
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.480
CBS Channel eleven. They have me
specifically co On and hey Michael man,

136
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.720
everybody loves cooking and grilling. The
weather's getting warm, and what do you

137
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.879
got? I actually played with and
my eye as well. Give you a

138
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.919
review right now. I brought in
a few outdoor gadgets, but my newest

139
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.399
and I like cooking. I am
a man. I like cooking and grilling.

140
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.080
Don't need a lot of red meat
though I'm a fish chicken guy,

141
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.000
but all my buddies come over and
they like the meat. I have a

142
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.120
new I have another Oh yeah,
yeah, I need a bigger house.

143
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:54.440
I have another grill smoker device.
I have had fired desk of ice like

144
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.000
the fire Disc, which is neither
a grill or a smoker. It's just

145
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.679
an outdoor cooker runs on propane.
I've had a Big Green Egg and by

146
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.919
the way, I still have a
Big Green Egg, which I am selling

147
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.519
right now. I have not put
down on Facebook marketplace if anybody is interested.

148
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:15.399
And the high Tech Texans personally autographed, which I devalued Big Green Egg

149
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.960
with all the accessories. It's only
like two or three years old. Great

150
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.320
shape. Let me know. Pop
me a note because I have replaced my

151
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:31.039
Big Green Egg with another Kamada Comado
style ceramic smoker. It is the Kamato

152
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.000
Joe. Wait a minute, it's
just not the red, not the green,

153
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.840
but the red Comado style cooker from
Kamada Joe. It is the technologically

154
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:45.840
advanced Connected Joe. That's a KA
Connected Joe. So I saw this at

155
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.240
CEES Consumer Electronics Show last January,
and I did. I went to a

156
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:54.840
reception in I was blown away.
It's relatively new and it is to some

157
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.759
aspects. The accessories are different than
the Big Green and I don't want to

158
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.720
sit here and go you know,
compare the two really, but some of

159
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.039
the things I really like about the
Connected Egg. It's okay, bear with

160
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.039
me over, Yes, I'm gonna
go back. It's the relatively, I

161
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.960
have a large size, so it's
the same size as my Big Green Egg.

162
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.240
It works in the same principle.
It is a Commodo style. It's

163
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.320
a dome that seals, which keeps
all the heat in, which keeps all

164
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.559
the smoke in if you're smoking something. But the difference is almost in there.

165
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.279
This comes with a lot of accessories. Big Green Egg does not come

166
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.679
with a lot of accessories. Big
Green Egg wants you to purchase the accessories.

167
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.519
So in terms of pound for pound, deal for the deal, I

168
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.840
like commoda Joe. But this is
called the Connected ko in it it's a

169
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.960
K because that's the way they brand
it. But it's connected because it is

170
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.240
technologically advanced. Now you plug this
one in and you plug it in.

171
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.720
You don't have to plug it in, but you want to plug it in

172
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.320
to electric electric OL it because it
has a digital readout screen panel on the

173
00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:00.279
front where it is telling you the
digital readouts, including the temperature, of

174
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.480
the inside of the Kammanda Joe.
Also, it has not one, not

175
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.120
two, but three different plugs for
probes food probes that you can plug in.

176
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.679
It comes with one probe already and
it's got a digital readout so you

177
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.240
can see the inside temperature of your
meat. It's got a fan built in

178
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.480
and so you don't have to solely
rely on air, you know, like

179
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.759
you do with the big grain egg
and cooking on these commandostylegios. It's a

180
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.360
it's a science and I'm not saying
I perfected it, but I've had one

181
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.399
of these for three years or so. And so you know, you turn

182
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.279
the heat to turn that to make
the heat go up, and the heat

183
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.639
in the in the connected Commanda Joe
up to seven hundred degrees. I'm talking

184
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.080
you could put a pizza in there. So you have to open the bottom.

185
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.600
And you know air affects fire,
more air, more wind fire.

186
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.399
That's where you blow on fire to
you know, not to really put it

187
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.039
out, but to make it grow. This has a controlled fan that will

188
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:05.320
monitor it knows how open or how
closed the upper air intake and outtake vent

189
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.240
is all together. It comes with
an app free app that you can monitor

190
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.840
and change things remotely. You can
set the temperature. You can actually dial

191
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.600
things. Hey listen, I'm cooking
pork, I'm cooking poultry, I'm cooking

192
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.799
beef, I'm cooking a reb by, I'm cooking a steak. It'll beep

193
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.480
when the temperature gets it gets up
there. Very very convenient. So that's

194
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.519
one of and so I like it. If you want to check it out,

195
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:35.000
you can go to a Commado joke. It's k O kam a d

196
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.519
O Comado Joe and there's there's a
there's a number of them. Now.

197
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.679
I specifically have the connected Joe and
they run. You're going to find them

198
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.000
for about seventeen hundred dollars. I
think Home Depot, Academy Sports and Outdoors

199
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.480
has it, and there's other ones. You know, they Kamada Joe makes

200
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.240
a big Joe to make a classic
Joe, but this is connected, so

201
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.480
it's a little bit more high tech. And I found it, you know,

202
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.759
pretty very easy to use, and
things came out really simple, you

203
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.120
know, I get I played it
with it one time and then I used

204
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.440
it on my segment on Great Day
Houston, and it was pretty cool.

205
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.960
So anyway, if you're looking for
something for outdoor a grilling of gadgets.

206
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.759
I was playing with an electric fire
starter that was pretty cool. You can

207
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.360
find it. Tell you what I
think. I put the video on high

208
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:30.960
Tech Texting dot Com from my channel
eleven hit last Wednesday. So at H

209
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.080
I G h T E c h
T E x A. And actually my

210
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.360
buddy Darryl Darryl Kunda, Darryl Kunda
used to actually work here with us at

211
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.360
the iHeartRadio. Great dude, big
griller, big dude. He knows how

212
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.039
to grill and everything. So he
won. He probably he probed over this.

213
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.159
This brought a source looking bone.
I'm talking it was like this was

214
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.720
from Flenstones or something. It was
a huge piece of like red meat.

215
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.000
It looked great. He seasoned it
perfectly. He brought over some chicken.

216
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:03.480
We put that on there and they
came out perfect. It was quite tasty.

217
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.960
And so whatever you want to cook, it's pretty good. I'm next.

218
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.799
You can when I say pizza,
you can cook pizza on these things.

219
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.399
And so outdoor grilling is it's pretty
cool. So there you go.

220
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:17.679
It's the Connected Joe. There is
the high Tech Texan Review. Definitely I

221
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.960
enjoyed it. You will too.
And by the way, seriously, I

222
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.960
really I need to sell my big
great egg which comes with a number of

223
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.480
different accessories, a big cover,
it's on wheels and everything. Talk to

224
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.480
me, people, email me Michael
Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com or bought me

225
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:36.840
a note on my socials at High
Tech Texan. When we come back,

226
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.519
we are going to talk about what
the FCC did. Actually pretty cool.

227
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.759
You don't hear that a lot?
Federal Communications Commission. I love you guys,

228
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.279
you know why because technically you tell
me what I can and what I

229
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.279
can't say. And also Hulu just
kind of threw down the gauntlet so you

230
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.320
no longer can actually share your passwords. I will tell you the next streaming

231
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.600
service to do so coming up this
summer. All here on the ht T

232
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:07.400
shizzow that means High Tech Texan bell
you what, after all this talk of

233
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.400
food and motto Joe open and smoking, how about going on a diet?

234
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.680
Not that I well, I'm always
trying to keep fit, but if you

235
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.839
were one who are looking to shit
a few pounds and you're thinking about getting

236
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.000
all these high falutin new drugs that
help you lose weight or curb your appetite.

237
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.319
I know they're expensive. Sometimes your
insurance does not pay for them.

238
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:37.880
May I suggest Campbell's compounding Pharmacy.
Spell it Campbell's Compounding dot Com. Two

239
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.799
locations, one near the mediciner,
one out in sugar Land, Exis where

240
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:51.720
I can nearly reside by. And
I've known Lance Campbell for fifteen years now,

241
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.319
if not even more than that.
And I remember my kids were young.

242
00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.680
They didn't like stomaching, nasty tasting
medicine or something like that. But

243
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.319
one of the many things that Campbell's
compound like pharmacy, they can do.

244
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.559
They can make any drug pill syrup
taste like anything they want. You want

245
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.920
bubblegum kids could bring it. I
always joke that man Lands, how come

246
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.960
you can't make something taste like bourbon? You probably could if you wanted to.

247
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.680
But anyway, they're convenient, they're
fast. Have your doctor prescribe something

248
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:29.319
and pick it up Campbell's Compounding Pharmacy
Iamcampbell's Coompounding dot Com. Tell them you

249
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.839
heard it on this wonderful radio show
talk about stream You're streaming is the new

250
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.119
technological way to watch television. As
you know, all you need is an

251
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.880
Internet connection. We'll talk about this
first before we talk what the FCC is

252
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:49.599
doing or done with your internet connection. Hulu is is it it's owned or

253
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:56.559
cohened by Disney, Right, yeah, Hulu. I didn't have Hulu until

254
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.920
this Sumber and I saw this special. And sometimes things are so good.

255
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.680
You're at the grocery store and you're
in a checkout lane and you're just sitting

256
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.920
there looking, oh, man,
I want a piece of gum, I

257
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.559
need a resis or something like this, kind of a last minute purchase.

258
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.119
It is what happened with Hulu.
I think my dad sent me this length.

259
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.799
He said, hey, Hulu is
having this sale for the holidays ninety

260
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.680
nine cents a month. Last year, I think they had it for a

261
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.720
dollar ninety nine a month. They
said, screw it up for one year.

262
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.680
And by the way, this could
come to Simber if I'm still around,

263
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.039
guys still remind me to cancel by
Hulu subscription. I'm like, come

264
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.319
on, twelve bucks a year?
Are you kidding me? Twelve? I

265
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:37.319
am an actual Hulu subscriber, And
it was worth it back then because I

266
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:44.119
actually found a great streaming show.
I was watching Only Murders in the Building

267
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.240
that I've got into those three seasons. I did it, and I watched

268
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.640
it on Hulu, which I thought
was pretty cool. I actually like that.

269
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:03.799
Hulu got an issue here. Hulu
subscriber beware, because the password sharing

270
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:11.680
crackdown is officially here. That's right, just like Netflix. The new policy

271
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.359
went into effect earlier this week.
It's barring people who don't live in the

272
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:22.880
same household from piggybacking on subscriptions.
Yep, oh vap. Now they send

273
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.079
an email in January notifying their subscribers
it's gonna ban sharing accounts with people outside

274
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.200
of their homes in March. Check
your calendar. It is now March.

275
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:40.000
Now. It's the change to the
Hulu subscriber agreement. It's similar to an

276
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.680
update to the Disney Plus subscriber agreement
late last year. Now, Hulu defines

277
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.039
a household as a collection of device
is associated with your primary personal residence that

278
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.400
are used by the individuals who reside
therein oh, that is a freaking lawyer

279
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:02.000
speaker eh breaking new Disney Plus is
also plenty to crack down on passwords sharing

280
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:07.359
this summer. Uh oh, all
you little kids who have to watch Frozen

281
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:18.359
and you're sharing your grandmother's account nope, tying to pony up people work for

282
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:25.960
Netflix. Netflix started this. They
saw a big boost in subscriber growth after

283
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.039
it began cracking down on password sharing. It was last May been around almost

284
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:38.839
a year max, which was formerly
HBO Max. They're also the latest to

285
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:48.440
restrict passwords sharing. Streaming services looking
to hook new subscribers used to allow.

286
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.240
They even encouraged people to share accounts. Remember those days. But they're losing

287
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.799
so much money now, rising pressure
to stem their financial losses, they've it's

288
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:04.200
changed the rules. Streaming plans not
typically allow multiple devices within a household to

289
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:10.039
access content on a single subscription,
but allowing friends and family members to move

290
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.559
off those subscribers. Nope, it
is for boten. Oh why as we

291
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.720
say and al still predicting the passwords
sharing crackdown is gonna spread to all streaming

292
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:26.200
services eventually, it will. Do
you remember what hell it's open phone lines

293
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.599
now? Seven one, three,
two five? What have you shared?

294
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:38.519
Do I say, illegally? Your
WiFi? Your Internet account? How many

295
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:45.359
people are glombing off their neighbors wi
Fi right now? I mean is a

296
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.559
tour question. I mean you're not
gonna have to call in and you can

297
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.200
tell me. Feel free to call
in, feel free to send me.

298
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:55.039
You could change your name. I
want to identify you. Hell, I

299
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.039
would do it too, but you
know what I'm I mean, I'm kind

300
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.960
of close to my neighbors. I
ain't that diet with my neighbors. You

301
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:07.400
know what I'd like? I listen. I'm a consumer, I'm flesh and

302
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.960
blood. We all want deals.
I give you deals. I tell you

303
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.799
prices on competing products from top to
bottom. I'm gonna give you the best

304
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.200
price, but also make sure it's
the best product out there. I told

305
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:25.319
you last week that I joined the
Cold Time an official, a Pelotonian.

306
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.759
So I bought a Pelotonka. By
the way, here's your deal. I

307
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:36.359
bought it used off Facebook marketplace,
so anyway, it's got a pretty good

308
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.880
deal. I needed shoes. I
needed biking shoes, so I researched for

309
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.640
two and a half days a pair
of biking shoes that I got for all

310
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:48.519
of twenty four bones on online.
Pretty cool, and I still have yet

311
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.200
to subscribe to see here's the thing
you need to subscribe to Peloton forty four

312
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.039
freaking bones a month. Listen for
all you Pelotonians out there, I have

313
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.720
open phone lines? Is this really
worth it? Can I use this Peloton

314
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.640
that I'm that that is sitting in
my office at home, ready to go,

315
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.079
plugged in shoes next to it,
cleaned up, It's it's beautiful,

316
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.240
it's perfect. Can I just ride
it? Or that's not the point.

317
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.799
And I don't think it's the point
because if I just wanted a bicycle,

318
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.880
a stationary bicycle, I'm gonna go
at Academy and I think I can probably

319
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.759
why I went for one hundred and
twenty five dollars hundred and fifty bucks.

320
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.519
It just sits there and has a
tension wheel and then you're set to go.

321
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.640
So I'm looking, I'm researching.
I'm like, there's a Peloton app,

322
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.079
there's a Peloton app plus? Does
that work? Because those are cheaper?

323
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:38.960
And then forty four dollars a month
you're getting this thing. But then

324
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.400
I find out a few of my
buddies have it. They said you actually

325
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:47.519
can share your Peloton account with five
people. Okay, now I'm thinking.

326
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:49.559
So my Mike buddy of mine,
one of my best friends, he's in

327
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.599
Atlanta. He goes, Hey,
Verify, It's okay, I'll just give

328
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:56.319
you my username and password. I'm
thinking, good, I'll pay you half

329
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:02.200
of it. I'll go have these
with you. Aparently you can only log

330
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:06.680
on one Peloton at a time or
something, so if you have a household

331
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.319
of five people, you can have
one Peloton and in five people. Because

332
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:11.720
it's a different serial number, I
don't know, it's screwed up. So

333
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.079
away if anybody has a way around
for me for getting a Peloton subscription,

334
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:21.400
uh seven point three two one two
five nine five up this it's a business.

335
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:26.240
It's an amazing business model, the
subscription based model. And that's what

336
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:33.319
you want because it's mailbox money people. I mean, it's Peloton. I've

337
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:41.079
said it before. It's Amazon should
have given away a little tiny Alexa device

338
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:48.319
free to every single person in this
country free. It's a trojan horse.

339
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.920
Jeff Bezos when he owned it back
in the day, would have a trojan

340
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:59.799
horse inside every single home and it
would it would make everybody use the Amazon

341
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.680
ecosystem. They would have to do. They don't have to pay for Prime,

342
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.880
but if they want to order anything
or all the answers, that's it.

343
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.359
They have so much data on you. Give away the razors and sell

344
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:15.000
the blades. Give it away so
Gillette, just give away the stupid give

345
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.440
it, give away the razor because
they know they got you on those freaking

346
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.839
blades. It's what a subscription based
model is. And they're in it for

347
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.960
money. And that's why going back
to the streamers, they're cracking down and

348
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.799
they're gonna start charging. All right, one more segment this hour. When

349
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.920
we come back, I will tell
you what are good friends at the Federal

350
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:34.839
Communication Commission, the people who let
us know that we cannot say this four

351
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.279
letter word or two. We love
them right now, from about the news

352
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.480
to something they've changed for the first
time in ten years. I'll tell you

353
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:49.079
what that is. On the other
side, I'd like to thank good boys

354
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.599
and US coins and jewelry. I
say boys specifically Kenny and Matt. Duncan

355
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.400
knows, the two brothers who run
that thing day to day. Their father

356
00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.759
started it and I know they're listening
right now because they are open on Saturday

357
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.839
as we do this radio show.
They do take the Chick fil A model

358
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.960
and they close on Sunday, so
you better get there. A little spring

359
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.880
break present, little Easter gifts.
And I say gifts, it's called US

360
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.519
coins and jewelry. Every time I
go in there. I don't know why,

361
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:22.160
man so I got my rolex from
there. And they'd love buying Rolexes

362
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:29.039
and then reselling them and trading them
in and flipping it. And I did

363
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.920
that most recently, about a month
ago. Women. They've got tennis bracelets

364
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.279
and beautiful earrings. They've got great
Texas memorabilia. I'll tell you what if

365
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.079
you're looking for, you know,
old timey original state flags of Texas.

366
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:44.119
They got great sports cards you get, they'll buy your sports cards. They've

367
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.799
got autographed baseballs. It's it's it's
it's really just an interesting place. It

368
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:52.799
could not be nicer folks. And
obviously they're dealing coins. New mismatist is

369
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:56.759
the official term for that. And
if you have a ton of coins that

370
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.440
you've been keeping and thinking there were
something buff Nichols or whatever it is,

371
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:04.279
take it to them for at least
a quote doesn't cost anything. Schlep it

372
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.720
in there. They got phenomenal security, really really tight, great cameras and

373
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.279
so don't be worried. And it's
just it's always a fun packplace. You

374
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.519
never know who you're going to see
in there. Iten Kenny Freeway just outside

375
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.119
of Loop six' ten right,
voss us Coins and Jewelry dot Com.

376
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:22.039
You don't even need to be in
Houston to work with them because they could

377
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.240
do it though remotely online. So, Kenny and Matt, I know you're

378
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.759
listening right now. And as I
hold up my rolex, what time is

379
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.720
it? That's a running joke at
it's actually just a few minutes before the

380
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.799
top of the hour. Hour number
one will soon be over, but not

381
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:44.279
before I give you some good news, good news from the Federal Communications Commission,

382
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:52.640
the f c C, same organization
that every year that we here at

383
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.920
this radio station, all radio stations
publicly over the air, that we have

384
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.759
to get certified that we know what
we're doing. We have the power of

385
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.920
broadcasting because it's live. We have
rules of what we cannot say. We

386
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.119
don't have rules of what we can
say, but we have rules of what

387
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.799
we cannot say. And so far, I've got a pretty good track record

388
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:15.880
of twenty two years right now.
So the FC she should love me and

389
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:21.960
I actually appreciate them specifically for what
they just did. For the first time

390
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:30.839
in almost ten years, the FCC
has raised the speeds required to describe what

391
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:38.079
Internet broad band means that's right.
The every year they go through. It's

392
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:45.799
the Internet Assessment, and the FCC
concluded that one hundred megabits download, one

393
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:53.240
hundred megs per second download, and
twenty megs upload will be the new standard.

394
00:29:55.920 --> 00:30:00.480
That news probably is going to irk
your ISP your ISPs who would love

395
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:06.160
to keep pointing to the fact that
twenty five megs down and three megs up,

396
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:10.960
which has been the previous standards,
and convincing people they're getting high speed

397
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:15.119
broadband. No, listen, remember
the days of dial up internet access?

398
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.720
Yes, I do too. Kids, You have no clue what your parents

399
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:29.319
went through. It's like a fax
machine. Then we had internet first big

400
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:34.079
ISP here in the Houston area two
thousand and two. Roadrunner from Comcast remember

401
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.920
that, I'm sorry. Roadrunner from
Time Warner was Time Warner's Roadrunner. How

402
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:45.400
do I know? Because I you're
illustrious radio host was the spokesperson. Yes,

403
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:52.000
that was me over twenty years ago, being chased by people in parks,

404
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.960
golf courses, standing in coffee shops, and schools of people lining up

405
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:02.359
to ask me questions about technology and
the inner Yes, I have some of

406
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.880
my career to thank for Time Warner
Roadrunner to help put me and my brand

407
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.839
on the map. I don't even
think it was. It got us out

408
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:15.680
of dial up, man. And
actually, it's funny to a quick story.

409
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.799
So I'm shooting these It's true.
I was. If you've been her,

410
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.079
listen, if if you guys remember
when I was the spokesperson TV radio

411
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:29.319
and billboards. Dude, I was
more ubiquitous than freaking Mattress Mac. It

412
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.960
was crazy, man, this two
thousand and two, two thousand and three,

413
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.319
they we had there was a massive
of public relations or advertising the agency.

414
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.960
We shot these commercials and we shot
them int Austin and they aired here,

415
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.400
they aired in the Dallas area,
they heard in Rio Grand Valley.

416
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:45.640
It was, it was, it
was, it was really neat something.

417
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:52.319
It's you know, I made it. I did. Look So it was

418
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.319
it was a transition of a paradigm
shift, going from dial up internet access

419
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:04.759
AOL or whatever ev one to much
higher speeds through your cable system. That

420
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:10.359
was roadrunner maybe. And so I
remember the director of the commercial. Every

421
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:14.519
time I said I was trying to
compare, somebody would ask me a question,

422
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:15.920
Hey, you're Michael Garfield, aren't
you the high tech textan? What's

423
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.559
the difference between you know, our
dial up in uh in high speed broadband.

424
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.079
So I would say, well,
dial up is a very it's the

425
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:30.319
low tech, old fashion away.
But the director wanted me to put my

426
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.480
put some stank on the word dial
up. So every time if you go

427
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.839
back out of there, it's on
YouTube somewhere. It wasn't just dial up.

428
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.039
It was dial up dial up,
Like, what the hell dial up?

429
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:50.400
Man? It was I'm not getting
it time I say dial up,

430
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.440
I still stank it up. By
the way, back to the story over

431
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.480
here that by the way, gosh, I wish time water Road. I

432
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:04.160
think I I forgot it was so
long ago because remember Time Warner left the

433
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:08.839
Houston area and switched some markets,
and now Comcast has it, and Comcast

434
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:12.400
does not know who in the world
I am. They charged me out the

435
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.079
Yahoo for freaking cable speech, which
I cannot stand, and I'm gonna cut

436
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:20.039
the cable, so screw you guys. Well, anyway, the FCC did

437
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.000
this report and it broke down in
a lot of areas where the country's online

438
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:28.079
infrastructure falls short, and they concluded
that broadband really isn't being deployed quickly enough

439
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.720
to serve Americans, and more specifically, they said they, you know,

440
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:37.039
fixed terrestrial broadband service. This is
not satellite. It's yet to be deployed

441
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.720
to about twenty four million Americans.
I don't know where these people live,

442
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.720
but I'm down with this. And
the funny thing is, give it another

443
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:50.680
few years and we're gonna laugh at
the current of what they just changed.

444
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:55.839
Okay, it went from twenty five
megabits per second download now the minimum standard

445
00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.480
is one hundred megabitz download. And
we're gonna laugh this thing because sometimes as

446
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.400
soon it's gonna be a thousand megabits, which is a terrem whatever. I

447
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:10.679
don't even know, it should be
one hundred megabits. Listen, the FCC

448
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:15.800
can't police isp IS to force them
to boost their speed. But I think

449
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:20.239
this type of move it's it's about
as good as they can get what it

450
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.159
can do to prevent them from marketing
their services broadband internet if they don't need

451
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:28.480
the thresholds, So are they gonna
have to come up with another buzzword to

452
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:34.360
sell customers on the super fast glacial
internet speed or the outdated inter speed.

453
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:39.119
I don't know. You can't call
twenty five megabits, which is just getting

454
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.639
ready to go away. You can't
call a dial up because you're not dialing

455
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.440
up and you're still getting it through
the Internet. Maybe they should just call

456
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.440
it internet speed versus broad band.
You got to use that broadband. There

457
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:55.000
you go, shout out, what
up? F freaking CC. Good for

458
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.320
you, Federal Communitas Commission. Make
those ISPs, crank it up, But

459
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:02.719
please don't let up charge war because
that ain't happening. It's not. We're

460
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.000

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:07.199
You're high Tech Texas and Michael Garfield. Halfway through this show, it's halfway

469
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:10.599
to halfy hour, people say with
me, happy Saturday, March Madness Saturday,

470
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.920
mister Michael Garfield from Las Vegas,
because you know what it is,

471
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.920
March madness, and this is where
everybody should be. Is there a better

472
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.079
place to watch all these games than
a sportsbook? Would you? I mean

473
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:27.199
I should start a poll. Would
you watch because there's so many simultaneous games

474
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:34.639
going on sportsbook your living room?
Or would you actually rather be at the

475
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.760
game? Now, I'm a live, live sports event guy without a doubt,

476
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.880
but and I've been to I mean, I've been to so many final

477
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:45.440
fours. But when you go to
Final four, that's the only game being

478
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.320
played. But if you go to
one of the first rounds, there's simultaneous

479
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.719
games. I mean, I'd be
in a sportsbook if you've never been to

480
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.840
a sportsbook to watch a live sports
event, and you don't have to have

481
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:58.400
money on it, but it's better
if you do it. Is it is

482
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.800
wild? I mean every play there
is something happening, and then you know,

483
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:05.880
somebody has a buzzer beater at the
end of the game and they cover

484
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.159
this spread. You're a hugging this
dude who's standing next to you. You

485
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:12.519
have no clue who he is,
but you're won some money. It's it

486
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.519
is a blast, So we do
thank you for tuning in and got to

487
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:20.039
keep it quiet over there, even
though the game's just tipped off here on

488
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.239
the Pacific Coast time and also the
Central time wherever you are listening to Happy

489
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:28.440
Hour brought to you by Papa's p
Lar. There's a lot of happy hour

490
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.400
here in Las Vegas. There is
a lot of happy hour going on,

491
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.519
and I'm really starting to drink a
lot more rum courtesy of Papa's p LR.

492
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.920
P I L A R. Every
time I go to the Capitol Grill

493
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:45.159
back in Houston in the gallerya area
bottle or two back there. There's one

494
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:49.039
in my private wine locker which actually
does not have any wine in there.

495
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:53.400
Downtown Guarding Grace, phenomenal steakhouse in
Houston. They serve it back there,

496
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:57.559
different variety tales. You know,
you could sip it. And this isn't

497
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.679
just your typical oh bourbon. This
is in Key West, Ernest Hemingway family.

498
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.280
They have given their seal of approval
that it's a gorgeous bottle with looks

499
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.880
like a canteen from World War two
and uh, it's a several different versions

500
00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:16.599
blonde, one a cask rye whiskey, one Spanish rye. Also, so

501
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.599
it's it's it's good stuff. And
so here I am out Vegas and I

502
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:23.559
find a little out here. Go
go to SPEC's Total Wine and where you

503
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.199
are on a Saturday, because in
Texas the liquor stores sadly are not open

504
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:32.559
on Sundays. We need to fix
that people. So papas PILARI it is.

505
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.960
It is cocktail time out here for
March madness got some you know,

506
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.000
every year when the Super Bowl comes
around, March Madness rolls around. I

507
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:45.639
generally go through the Let me tell
you how you can watch or stream or

508
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.679
remotely watch all these sporting events,
because there's there's there's a number of different

509
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:54.639
ways that you can watch it out
of your house. You know. I

510
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:59.519
grew up in an era where number
one, well I was born with black

511
00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.920
white tea was around. But then
there was color TV with no remote control.

512
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.679
There was only over the year broadcast
channels, and that was the only

513
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.760
time you're watching TV as simple as
that. Nowadays, we watch TV on

514
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.679
our phone, we stream TV.
We don't even have our traditional TV,

515
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:15.320
and so what do you do.
This is where I come in. March

516
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:20.760
Madness is great used to be.
There's an NCAA March Madness app that I

517
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.840
believe you could download. And even
though I'm I go to Vegas every single

518
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.719
year for thirty five years this weekend
to watch all the games on a big

519
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.880
screen. Sometimes when I'm walking around
the casino or from you know, we're

520
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:34.760
in dinner or something, and I
still want to watch the games, I

521
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:38.639
whip out the app and you could
watch it. Now nowadays you don't need

522
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.840
all these different apps. You don't
even though you need to be logged into

523
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:47.639
a few different services. It hasn't
always been easy watching March Madness, despite

524
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.119
the fact there are tons of games, because they're on four networks. They're

525
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:57.039
on CBS, T and T TVs
and True TV, and you often would

526
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.760
have to pay for a cable,
a satellite, a streaming t package if

527
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:04.960
you really wanted to catch all the
action. This year a little easier.

528
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:07.440
So if you do want and I
know the game, they're already in the

529
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:10.639
kind of the second round. But
if you need, all you need is

530
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:15.440
one of two streaming services for March
Madness, and if you want both of

531
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:19.119
them, they are less than thirty
dollars total for a month and then you

532
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.719
can cancel it. One is Max, the you know, the old HBO

533
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:29.440
Max and Paramount Plus together the two
of them are gonna run you about twenty

534
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:32.280
two bucks for the month of the
tournament. And that includes that included the

535
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:37.320
playing games earlier this week, the
rest of the tournament on all four networks,

536
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.920
and eventually the final four. The
championship game is gonna be on April

537
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.000
eighth. The Championship game, there's
there's gonna be some different looks and sounds.

538
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:50.719
Championship game is gonna be on TBS. It will not be on CBS

539
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:53.559
because every year they alternate, and
even years it is on TBS in for

540
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:59.440
the first time in thirty some odd
years. Goodbye friends. Jim Nantz will

541
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:02.599
not be doing the P by P. Jim Nantz will hopefully be in the

542
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:07.119
audience for his alma mater, the
University of Houston, watching the game in

543
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:08.840
Phoenix where it's going to be played. No, it is going to be

544
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:15.280
called by the new CBS lead March
Madness basketball commentator Iron Eagle, who is

545
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:23.079
a group broadcaster. He is good. Oh excuse me, see I'm alread

546
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:30.320
getting choked up for this thing.
So Max with advertisements ten bucks a month,

547
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:36.400
live sports from T and T,
TBS, thrue TV paramount plus with

548
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.280
Showtime it's twelve bucks a month,
and you've got the live CVS speeds.

549
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.880
They don't have contracts, so if
you want to cancel once the tournament's over

550
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:47.119
easyps, you could easily do so. So for if you're if you're considering

551
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:52.159
getting Max, the cheaper annual rate
they they're offering a new deal through April

552
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:58.519
ninth, takes over forty percent off
the regular price if you were willing to

553
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:02.400
prepay for an entire year. Generally, I'm not a prepayer. I mean

554
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.239
I told your at last hour I
signed up for Hulu for an entire year

555
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.280
in December. Well that's because it
was for ninety nine cents a month.

556
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:15.280
I'm down with paying twelve bones a
year. I'm fine with that forty So

557
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:17.440
no, I generally paid month to
month for Max with the ads option,

558
00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:21.159
that would bring the price down to
like seventy bucks for the first year.

559
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:24.480
That's about five dollars and eighty three
cents per months. So at twenty two

560
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:29.159
bucks total, it's gonna be a
big diff discount from last year, when

561
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.920
the cheapest option was a combination of
Paramount plus premium for the CBS games and

562
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.800
then the Sling TV Blue for the
TNT type of games. So this year

563
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:44.679
is gonna be cheaper, and but
you're still going to have to pay.

564
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:49.079
There's it's just very tough to find
anything free on TV, not at all,

565
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:51.920
even when I'm watching the games.
Ain't nothing free in Vegas anymore.

566
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.519
Ain't nothing older. I got comped, Yeah, you got to. You

567
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:57.239
gotta put some money down on the
table to actually be comped. But that's

568
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.880
why we're out here. We are
having fun. When we come back,

569
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:01.599
I've got some Q and A.
You guys are a little shy to call,

570
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.480
but somebody wanted to know, Hey, Michael, what is what is

571
00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.719
the best one of the best video
doorbells out there? Uh, this gentleman

572
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.400
cannot decide on what your doorbell and
there are a lot of doorbells. I

573
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:17.079
went through the same predicament about a
year ago, because I've probably had every

574
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:20.760
two years, I get a new
video doorbell to test, starting with the

575
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:23.239
Ring video doorbell, then kept upgrading
it, and you know, I've gone

576
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.079
through some It's not hard to install
it because most of them are wireless.

577
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.800
I will kind of give you my
thoughts on what I'm using currently right now

578
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.639
is the video doorbell, which I
really do like. And I will give

579
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.360
you a few others to choose from. And if you are too shy to

580
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.119
call seven one three two one nine
five oz, you can do what this

581
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.840
dude did and he can email me
Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot top. With

582
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:52.920
that, we're gonna be right back
with the High Tech Text and show checking

583
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:57.199
emails here. As we come back
to the HTT show, it stands for

584
00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.840
high Tech Text and it is Miguel
and Michael garth Field. How are you

585
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:05.880
middle of March? Got two weeks
to Easter? What are you guys doing

586
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:08.280
for Easter brunch? Somebody needs to
help me and I'm not being physicious.

587
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:13.880
Uh. Easter is when we say
he is risen? Is that right?

588
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.719
Callum help me out? He is
risen, which grammatically I don't think really

589
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:21.559
make the sense. He has risen
like the Pillsbury doable right? And then

590
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:24.599
the is it the Friday before that? That is good Friday? Does that

591
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:29.719
mean you have to eat fish on
Fridays or not meat or something I'm very

592
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:32.079
confused. Saturday is in Saturday is
something. Saturday is my radio show,

593
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:37.719
and it's it's exactly. That's the
weekend of the Houston Open, the Texas

594
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.639
Children's Hospital Houston Open, so that
it is going to be a very big

595
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.360
weekend. And I guess, so
I guess the final of the Houston Open

596
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.480
is going to be on Easter Sunday. Okay, is that a lot of

597
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.800
what happens on Eastern You go to
church and you have brunch by the way,

598
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:58.400
Actually I know, Actually I tell
you I'm probably gonna I don't celebrate

599
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.559
Easter, but I may have to
have Easter brunch the Capitol Grill. I

600
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:06.280
was over there picking up something the
other day. I got this massive Easter

601
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.960
brunch. I mean they got like, uh, well, first of all,

602
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:13.800
everything is at the Capitol Grill is
just like awesome. But I was

603
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:19.239
talking to Steve Jost, my mother
over there, who is the managing partner.

604
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.599
He said, you need to come
by for Easter brunch at the Capitol

605
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.159
Grill. And I'm like, you
know, I mean I don't eat a

606
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:25.519
lot. He goes, no,
no, you don't have to, love

607
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:30.400
but I mean the food is huge. So it is. Uh, let

608
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.719
me give you the calum will make
you hungry? Okay, calum, what

609
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.119
are you doing for? You?
Do you hunt for Easter eggs? When

610
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.880
does that stop? These are serious? I'm not making fun of anything.

611
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:43.440
No, no, my hunt for
you know the Afha coma from Matza.

612
00:45:43.480 --> 00:45:45.960
That's what I grew up by,
you know, not big Sure what's going

613
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:51.760
on? So? Uh? Fourteen
ounce bony dry age New York strip and

614
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:54.079
eggs. Who I love how you
see brunch? So I guess you could

615
00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:58.000
take a New York piece of meat
strip, you throw eggs on it,

616
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:01.159
it becomes brunch. It's smart,
lobster free, no relation to Tillman lobster

617
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:07.039
free, Tata truffle, Holliday sauce, white cheddar, hash browns. Okay,

618
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.400
that's in the lead for me right
now. Crabcake benedict not bad in

619
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:15.639
a eight ounce center cut filet mignon. We've also got oh kids, We've

620
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:21.639
got chicken fingers, mac and cheese, miniature cheeseburgers, classic style French toast,

621
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:23.840
scrambled eggs with dessert. And there's
ice cream. Oh my goodness.

622
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:29.280
Got to reserve your table though.
So there's your brunch. That's particularly the

623
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.960
cup where else you know, taking
phone calls over here if anybody has their

624
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:37.880
brunch suggestions. But oh, by
the way, they have mimosas about like

625
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.159
they also have Papa's p LR rum
too, nice little rum drink in the

626
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:44.400
morning. And then you can go
out and watch the final round of the

627
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:49.320
Houston Open golf tournament. As we
continue the high tech texting show, see

628
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:52.800
I talk about food. Actually a
ton of hunger right now, actually right

629
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:54.719
now as we broadcast the show from
Vegas, which I do every year on

630
00:46:55.119 --> 00:47:00.840
first weekend of March Madness. It
is just don't know, it's the Way

631
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:06.079
twenty five or something like that.
I don't even have a watch, but

632
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.639
I'm a little hungry. I think
it's breakfast. I need to do something

633
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:14.920
about that. I'm not getting a
room service. I I room service is

634
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:21.119
the funniest thing they may It is
so overpriced, and is it even good?

635
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:23.800
Am I stay at hotels you know, semi quite a bit. I

636
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:28.119
don't know. Maybe once I have
ordered room service, and I think I

637
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:31.599
was on a freaking account. Luckily
I had a company with spongsor the whole

638
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:35.119
thing. I mean, I don't
need a lot of breakfast or in ever

639
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:36.800
even well, it's not anay breakast, lunch, your dinner. I just

640
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.480
rather just go down and get something
to see people, certain certainly here in

641
00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:40.679
Vegas, instead of sitting in there. I don't know what we got on

642
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:45.480
that, but we will continue.
I got an email over here somebody was

643
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:49.719
saying, hey, high tech Texan, what's the best video doorbell out there?

644
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.559
I'm deciding between two or three.
It's confusing. Do I really need

645
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.119
to spend that high expensive one on
the Ring? Because everybody's heard of Ring

646
00:47:55.199 --> 00:48:00.199
a video doorbell that is from Justin. Justin is in Parentland. There are

647
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.719
a number of different ones, number
of different ones. Ring was the real

648
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.960
first to market that went nuts.
And what was it? It was an

649
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.800
Amazon who bought that company for a
billion dollars or something. And you know

650
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.199
they could be controversial. I mean, can you can police can actually confiscate

651
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.360
what happened on your you know doorstep. You see all the time, you

652
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.960
know, forged pirates going up in
stealing you know packages. You know,

653
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:30.440
it's really good for safety. I
have used five or six of them over

654
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:32.079
years. Every every year year and
a half or so, some company sends

655
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:36.320
me one to play with and test
with. And I'm sticking with this one

656
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.000
right now. But let me get
the one I have right now, the

657
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.719
one I actually have. Again,
not a commercial. I'm just I'm telling

658
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.119
because I'm gonna give you some other
brands. I've been using the Google Nest

659
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:49.880
the second generation. It's on the
second generation. Uh. There's two types.

660
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.920
There's there's one that has battery operated
that you can take the battery off

661
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:55.039
and recharged. There's then there's one
that's wired. You know, because most

662
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:59.119
all doorbells and if you take the
doorbell off, there's two little wires in

663
00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:05.000
there. I'm using the battery one
and I like that, and I will

664
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:10.920
and I will tell you why because
there it's super simple to set up,

665
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:19.400
whether you're getting the wired one or
not. But there's also live video feeds

666
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:21.719
again that come with an app.
Always pretty much comes with an app.

667
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:24.360
There's a live video feed, two
way audios, so whoever rings, they

668
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:28.039
could sit there and talk to you
and then you could talk back. And

669
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.199
there's alert notifications and again a lot
of them do this, but the alert

670
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:34.760
notifications, I mean every time I
see I could set it any time I

671
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.559
see movement within the camera's range.
Front, porch, driveway or whatever I

672
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.679
can get it. I get a
good pop up alert. I get an

673
00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:43.840
alert when a package has arrived,
and an alert will say someone's at your

674
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:45.719
front door with the package. Then
I could say, and then if the

675
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.679
UPS guy happens to move the package
or someone steals it, I'll immediately get

676
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:55.280
it or going your package is removed. Facial recognition and everything runs about one

677
00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:00.800
hundred and fifty dollars or so Walmart
maybe a little cheaper, but it's great

678
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.639
performance and the features are pretty free
too. And one of the other things

679
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:09.039
that you need to take account of
is does it record things? You have

680
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:13.639
to have a subscription service, you
know, like a cloud type of thing.

681
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:19.719
Well, this one you've got.
I believe it's three hours without a

682
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.119
subscription, so anything over the past
three hours, and which is fine because

683
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:28.039
anytime something happens you can set up
a notification. I get it within three

684
00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.719
seconds versus three you know, much
less three minutes, much less three hours.

685
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:36.960
It's called the Nest Doorbell. It's
the Google and it obviously works well

686
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.679
with Google Assistant. Yes, it's
compatible with Alexa too, and also it

687
00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:45.800
has a lot of AI artificial intelligence
technology, so you know, as I

688
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:51.079
said, you get the package,
the person, the vehicle notifications. You

689
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:53.280
do get a nest to wear,
a subscription that allows for face identification,

690
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:58.239
and the warnings are really good.
It works in that it works in relatively

691
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.760
cold. It's never dropped below zero
here in my house, but for the

692
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:06.800
past years in the heat, not
a big deal. The battery last for

693
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:14.280
a good at least a month and
a half two months if you don't sit

694
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:19.440
there looking at live video all the
time. And I like it. Whenever

695
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.679
you charge it, you pop it
off. And then you do, you

696
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.159
charge it with USBC and you're set
to go. Other ones on the market.

697
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:28.920
Boy, there's a ton of them, there is there. Yes,

698
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:32.119
there's the ring video doorbell. I
think we're up to the Pro two version.

699
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.960
Say's two hundred and thirty bucks.
That's two hundred and thirty dollars.

700
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:42.639
It's it's a it's a hot We're
gonna call it high end. It's not

701
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:47.119
the best value, but if you
want some features, they're there. It's

702
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:52.960
got a big, super wide field
of view, big one to one aspect

703
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.800
ratio, it's got a high you
know resolution, all the basics you want,

704
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.920
you know, with with the you
know with the video doorbell. It's

705
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:02.800
got radar sensing, it's got a
bird's eye view and a lot of stuff.

706
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:06.679
It's got three D motion detection.
It's nice. It's just it's just

707
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:07.599
a little bit, you know,
a little bit expensive. And so you

708
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:14.239
got that going on. We've got
ARLW. I like Rlow a r l

709
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:19.039
O. I have Rlow video wireless
video cameras all inside and outside my home.

710
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.079
I've used those for years and I
haven't changed them out. Arlow also

711
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:27.920
makes a video door bell. It's
a two K video doorbell. It is

712
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:34.679
about ninety dollars Best Buy, maybe
Amazon, and if you want pound four

713
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.639
pound dollar for dollar, this may
be the way to go. It's got

714
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:42.519
a built in siren to a audio
motion detection. As I said, you

715
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.079
know a lot of other stuff,
very simple to install. Seven has night

716
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:47.559
vision two. A lot of them
have night vision with this is also but

717
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:52.360
for ninety bones. And I do
like Arlow the it's the app is really

718
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:55.159
easy to use, certainly for my
wireless cameras. And if you already do

719
00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:59.679
have Urlow cameras well, you may
want to keep in the family and getting

720
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:04.559
urlow. So that's another one smaller
brand names. If you want a really

721
00:53:04.559 --> 00:53:07.840
really inexpensive one, I'm not going
to use the word cheap. There is

722
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:13.960
which one can I recommend? Over
here? There's there's one called Blink b

723
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:19.079
l I n K Blink. They
make a few wireless cameras for indoors.

724
00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.320
They have a doorbell for let me
pull this one up over here, forty

725
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:29.760
two bucks. Forty two bucks,
decent video quality, you can see the

726
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:35.639
people packages at your door. They
do have cloud storage, which is you

727
00:53:35.679 --> 00:53:39.239
know that does require subscription and it's
easy to install. Also, I think

728
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:43.480
you can get this best buy.
It's a smaller, little tiny ones probably

729
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:45.119
only about what three and a half
inches you know, top to bottom,

730
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:49.159
But for forty two dollars. If
you want something, you know, maybe

731
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.320
you're an apartment and it gets wireless, you just need to just kind of

732
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:54.800
like put a few you know,
drill a few holes, and you should

733
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:58.079
be set to go. What do
I justin? I do? Thank you

734
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:00.760
for the the question. I hope
that a lot best video, doorbell cameras,

735
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:04.760
anything else you got, you tell
me coming up? People want to

736
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:07.159
know what's what I'm driving this week? Every week I get to test drive

737
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.960
a new vehicle. And I will
tell you if you're a big old Texan

738
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.519
who likes big old pickup trucks,
I'm driving around a lot of fun,

739
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:16.880
a lot of things that could tow
this week. I'll tell you that I

740
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:28.280
may side want just about thirty more

750
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:15.119
to go. I actually flew out
here, and just shockingly to so many

751
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:20.199
of my followers and friends, I
did not fly private this trip. No,

752
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:24.760
I took the company plane southwest.
What do you gonna DOA hey,

753
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:28.199
listen, I may list preferred.
I got two free cocktails, and so

754
00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:32.400
you can't complain about that. Did
not drive I have, I've never drive.

755
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:37.400
I got a buddy of mine has
a condo in Vegas, so he's

756
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.639
made the drive from Texas to Vegas. It's just it's pretty much I t

757
00:55:42.679 --> 00:55:46.000
in on a lot of it.
It's a he it's pretty long to do

758
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:51.159
that. You want a comfortable car
or a big old mama a new truck.

759
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:54.639
And with that it's time to talk
about what's Garb driving. If you

760
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:59.880
are a longtime listener, I am
a member of the Texas Auto Writers so

761
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.440
Siation. That is association where you
have to get certified that you know how

762
00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:08.079
to test drive cars, review rate
them, do not get paid, which

763
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.159
I am not getting, never been
paid to write about any of these vehicles

764
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:17.480
that I talk about. It's just
it's legit content. And so I've I've

765
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:21.239
poop pooed on a lot of cars, and I've given praise to a lot

766
00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.760
of vehicles too, And so hopefully
you can trust me for fifteen years not

767
00:56:24.840 --> 00:56:28.360
from a dealer. I'm not even
going to mention one dealer. I just

768
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.800
straight for the manufacturers, and so
that's why you could trustmih And this past

769
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:39.679
week I have been driving around in
the twenty twenty four Ram fifteen hundred limited

770
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:45.519
hickcop truck. It's four by four, it's crew cab, and I must

771
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:50.360
say it is probably one of,
if not the best in class. It's

772
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.840
big. Listen. I don't fancy
myself as, Oh, you're a Ram

773
00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:55.280
guy, You're a Ford guy,
You're a GM guy, You're a Toyota

774
00:56:55.320 --> 00:57:00.719
guy, you're a Nissan guy.
They all make trucks opinions. Some are

775
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:04.280
better than the other. Some are
plastic key than the others. In Toyota,

776
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.440
some are they don't toe as much. Not that I do a lot

777
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.039
of towing, but to me,
the way I review cars and trucks,

778
00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:15.960
I'm not your car and driver motor
trend head guy where I'm gonna talk about

779
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:20.119
the torque and what is towing capacity
and the power to wait ratio. I

780
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:23.599
mean, listen, there's plenty of
ways that you can find that we live

781
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:29.239
in our cars. Houston is a
driving city. We are in our vehicles

782
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:32.119
a long time. We sit in
traffic and we drive everywhere from the Woodlands

783
00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:38.199
to Galveston to Stay down to Katie
And it's just a beltway eight and Loop

784
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:42.719
six' ten and just it's traffic. It's you want to be comfortable.

785
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.400
Does it ride well? There's a
lot of potholes. Does it take care

786
00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:51.559
potholes? Yes, we on weekends
we maybe do want to go putting around,

787
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:53.039
you know, take it off road, take it graveling, take it

788
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:58.159
on your ranch. Does the air
conditioning work? Does it have heated seats?

789
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:01.320
Is it easy to get a car
seat back of these vehicles? What's

790
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:05.119
the infotainments? You know, system
look like? You know, what are

791
00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:07.239
the technology features for safety? Those
are the things that I rate and review

792
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:12.039
And for this thing, it checks
off. This is so cliche and I

793
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:14.639
hate using it, but it checks
off a lot of the boxes. It

794
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:21.280
is incredibly comfy to ride with the
suspension because rams ram is continuing to uh

795
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:24.039
to really upgrade its you know,
suspensions and rides everything. Because years ago

796
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:30.639
ram went with the a coil spring
rear suspension that really improved the handling and

797
00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:35.000
the trailering and control and the ride
quality. I mean, it rides a

798
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:37.840
lot smooth than some of its rivals, especially with the if there's nothing back

799
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:42.519
in the bed. Other manufacturers have
done this. I think Toyota Tundra.

800
00:58:42.880 --> 00:58:46.719
They switched to coil springs recently and
it but it rides well, yes,

801
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:51.760
you're sitting up high. It rides
like a traditional truck. But this one

802
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.960
here, this is the limited edition
and you're going to get in and the

803
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:59.800
trim level it's it's a trimlet.
Listen. They have a long Horn edition

804
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:01.639
where which I love the Longhorn edition
for a number of reasons. I love

805
00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:06.079
that mascot of the Longhorn, But
it's about the fanciest you get in and

806
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:09.639
you're liking a boot shop. It
is just it smells phenomenal. This is

807
00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:15.039
the limited and so you know soft
leather, special color schemes, you know,

808
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:22.920
different styling elements. And the first
thing that I like that One of

809
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:25.199
the reasons why I'm kind of been
a fan of the RAM trucks in Ram

810
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:30.960
fifteen hundred is they were the first
ones to really take the screen the real

811
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:34.719
estate on that dashboard and say,
you know what, why are we playing

812
00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.840
around with an eight inch touch screen
or eight inch screen. We have a

813
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:42.199
lot of room up here, and
so they came out with their twelve inch,

814
00:59:42.639 --> 00:59:45.920
massive, gorgeous touch screen, vertically
oriented kind of like test Left.

815
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:50.599
You've ever seen one of those,
and it could do so many things.

816
00:59:50.599 --> 00:59:54.320
It is there, you connect system
and it's beautiful. You could split the

817
00:59:54.360 --> 00:59:57.840
screen in two. You have the
map up top, you can have the

818
00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:04.039
navigation down below, what's playing on
the UH and ever it's it's it's just

819
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:07.800
so nice. The in car technology
is just it's cool. It's and there's

820
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:10.880
there's there's nothing bad. I can
even go about it. Yes, it's

821
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:14.800
got Apple Car Play, Android Auto, it's got the wireless cheat charging,

822
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:20.079
all the USB ports, the USB
seve and the usbas just any any anything

823
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:23.960
you want and it works well.
It is a big baby. It's a

824
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:30.559
it's a The tailgate, this particular
one opens up with kind of a the

825
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:35.159
two thirds the split design one.
You know you can it's a one.

826
01:00:35.280 --> 01:00:37.920
You could open up half of it. Well, three quarters of it goes

827
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:39.039
to the left side, a quarter
of it goes to the right side,

828
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:43.840
and it's easy to get in and
climb into the back if you need to.

829
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:47.480
The backseat is just tremendously big.
Obviously because this is limited. It's

830
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:52.599
got some features such as the sliding
step, the step that pops out so

831
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:57.280
you can easily climb in. Uh, there's there's just a ton of headroom

832
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:00.440
and uh it's everything works well.
Base price of this is right about seventy

833
01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:05.119
thousand dollars the way it was configured
for me in the media when we were

834
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:07.440
driving around on these things. It's
about eighty two thousand dollars. Listen that

835
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:10.119
I could tell you a lot more
expensive trucks. I can tell you some

836
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:15.519
trucks that cost less than that.
But for Ram, which I still think

837
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:22.039
does a just a top of the
line ride, it maybe looking at it

838
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.599
fuel economy. You got eighteen to
the city, twenty two in the highway

839
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:31.559
nineteen combined about typical for a big
o'mama truck or something you know of that

840
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:36.800
nature. But it's not intimidating,
you know, it's not like dudes have

841
01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:38.320
to drive this thing. You know, you know, chicky poos chicks go

842
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:43.719
love this thing too. It's got
good horse power. I believe's about three

843
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.800
hundred and five horse power, and
I'm gonna say there's two sixty nine pound

844
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:49.559
feet of torque For you gearheads,
if you really care about any of that

845
01:01:49.599 --> 01:01:52.199
stuff that I really don't. Absolutely, it's good toe it's got a really

846
01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:57.679
good cameras everywhere that you know,
in the bed around the side. But

847
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:04.360
I like it. It's not it's
not super super big. I mean,

848
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:09.480
it's parkable, and it begs,
you know, to me, is I

849
01:02:10.880 --> 01:02:15.159
don't I understand the reason people want
trucks. They shlep a lot of stuff,

850
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:20.039
they work, they use them for
their work. I don't shlept a

851
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:22.679
lot of things. And in fact, the only time I even had the

852
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:29.000
need and to use the word need
for a pickup truck was about two weeks

853
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:31.519
ago when I bought a used Peloton
And the one week I didn't have a

854
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:37.840
truck as my test vehicle, I
actually fitted into a Kia EV nine electric

855
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:42.039
vehicle. Sideways. That's neither here
nor there. But I don't need a

856
01:02:42.079 --> 01:02:45.519
truck. A truck for me is
you know, maybe if I had a

857
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:49.239
ranch, if I was you know, going out to the you know,

858
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:52.320
to the hill countries or something on
a regular basis. Sure. And also

859
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.840
sometimes they're difficult to park where I'm
going with this thing. Sometimes trucks are

860
01:02:55.960 --> 01:02:59.920
very large to park. Sometimes they're
too tall that I can't get it.

861
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:02.440
It's parking garages. It's like,
oh am, I seven foot one inch

862
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.760
below, so like you know,
I don't hit scrape the top of the

863
01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:10.159
car. This one's easy to park
back in because of the cameras. I

864
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:14.199
like this a lot. So for
all you fans out there who are looking

865
01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:19.360
for a big you know, fifteen
hundred, HEMI e torque Ram, I've

866
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.639
got the Rambox, an innovative thing. The RAM boxes. On each side

867
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:29.400
of that bed, probably about four
feet long. There are lockable little cabinets,

868
01:03:29.679 --> 01:03:32.639
one on each side that Yes,
you could store your tools in there.

869
01:03:32.639 --> 01:03:36.079
If you're a workman, you can
store your clothes. But it's always

870
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:38.800
great for a tailgate party because you
can put ice in there and put a

871
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:42.039
ton of beer and it is just
beautiful. I love it. It's a

872
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:46.639
party truck. Check it out as
the Ram fifteen hundred Limited Edition eighty anywhere

873
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:50.599
between seventy and eighty thousand dollars.
Ish, I'm not going to tell you

874
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:52.039
a dealership to go to. I
don't promote dealers. I'm just going to

875
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.760
tell you what I like, what
I don't like about these vehicles, as

876
01:03:54.800 --> 01:04:00.239
I've done for fifteen plus years.
On that side, So any questions talk

877
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:02.960
to me here before we take our
last break. Seven one three two one

878
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:08.519
two five nine five oh. Coming
up, got a question about keeping your

879
01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:12.320
data private? I can go through
that again. And someone wants to know

880
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:15.800
about what smart watch do I wear? Well, Uh, I get about

881
01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.320
five or six smart watches that I'm
playing with right now, but I will

882
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:23.400
tell you my favorite one that really
is brand new that I've only found out

883
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.519
about three weeks ago and I've been
wearing it non stop, well along as

884
01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:29.760
my Rolex from US coins and jewelry. One more segment to go. Hang

885
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:31.440
in there. We're having some fun
here. Michael Garfield High Tech Text and

886
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:40.920
Show. Final segment. Final ten
minutes show left here. So I'll give

887
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.360
you out the phone number one more
time. Maybe callum we'll pick one up.

888
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:48.079
Maybe we won't. Seven to one
three two one two five nine five

889
01:04:48.159 --> 01:04:51.599
oh. Number hadn't changed in twenty
plus years. I have been doing this

890
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:58.960
show where I started talking about a
lot of computers and desktops and laptops,

891
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:05.800
all technology geeky stuff. Now it's
uh watches and trucks and betting and travel.

892
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:10.400
It's it's the world, according to
Garf, should be a better aptly

893
01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:15.960
named radio show, which actually was
the name of my daily non technology show

894
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:19.039
on KPRC about ten years ago.
I don't know, cal, but you

895
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:23.159
know, you know that maybe should
we rebrand the show from high tech text

896
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:29.039
into the World according to Garf.
By the way, you're relative, what

897
01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:31.320
are you? Twenty three, twenty
four, twenty five? When I say

898
01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:38.000
the world according to Garf? Do
you get the reference ring familiar? Now?

899
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:41.440
Kind of? Yeah. There was
a movie in the eighties that was

900
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:45.320
start Robin Williams and Glenn cose Close. It was based on a book.

901
01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:50.039
It was called The World according to
Garf. Garp the World. It was

902
01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:55.079
good movie. Robin Williams is great, and so I figured, well,

903
01:05:55.119 --> 01:05:58.000
it's a little play on words.
We're gonna call it the World according to

904
01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:03.760
Garf. Garfield Grf my first ford, my nickname. Nah, but I

905
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:05.920
mean this is I talk. I
talk about what's going on my world.

906
01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:10.599
Man, That's what I do.
Maybe take a poll on that. I

907
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:14.559
don't know. We'll see. Somebody
did ask me about, well, okay,

908
01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.400
let's talk about technology again. Someone
says, uh, hey, Garf,

909
01:06:17.199 --> 01:06:21.840
So they got that right. People
actually call me Garth like Garth Brooks

910
01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:27.280
Garth from Wayne and Garth Wayne's World. No, no, no, it

911
01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:31.480
is Garth with an as feel Garfield
first four letters of the word Garfield.

912
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.519
That's my nickname. Call me anything
you want, but don't call me late

913
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:39.920
for dinner. Hey Garth, How
do I keep my data private? You

914
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:43.800
know? With everything from the byte
dance, the tiktoks and everything. I'm

915
01:06:44.039 --> 01:06:46.480
really scared to use it. So
something I could download other than a VPN,

916
01:06:46.719 --> 01:06:51.000
Well, you're kind of getting things
confused. VPN can help you when

917
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:56.039
you're on the web, but your
personal data, like on your phone,

918
01:06:56.079 --> 01:07:00.199
it's it is tough there. I
saw something about a month ago. I

919
01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:04.199
haven't actually tried it yet, but
it is a it's an app that is

920
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:11.679
called it's called Permission Slip. What
it's actually it love me to put the

921
01:07:11.719 --> 01:07:15.440
way it's a service and what it
could do. It could help you tell

922
01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:20.079
companies to stop selling your personal data, because that's really one of the main

923
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:24.880
issues, because it could be easy
to forget that your personal data is scattered

924
01:07:24.920 --> 01:07:28.320
all over the web. Now.
Every time you sign up for a new

925
01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:33.599
social media platform, you buy something
online, you're given those companies bits and

926
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:41.400
pieces of your personal data, and
the companies you give your data to and

927
01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:45.639
data brokers. They sell your personal
data to other companies that use your info

928
01:07:45.719 --> 01:07:51.880
to sell ads that are targeted to
you. And if you want to fix

929
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:57.360
this, it's been complicated, it's
been confusing. But there is an app

930
01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:02.159
called Permission Slip and it comes from
a very reliable company called Consumer Reports,

931
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.400
and it reaches out the companies on
your behalf and it orders them to stop

932
01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:15.079
selling your information nation nation, some
states have passed legislation that allows you to

933
01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:18.479
exercise some control over what happens to
it, and depending on your state,

934
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:23.760
you can prohibit data brokers from selling
your data or even delete your online data

935
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:29.439
outright. And so this is kind
of where which could where permission Slip comes

936
01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:32.079
in. It does the legwork of
collecting the places that might have your data.

937
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.720
So what you do is you sign
up for the service Permission Slip.

938
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:43.800
Just go Google Permission slip or Consumer
Reports and sign up with an email address

939
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:47.359
that you generally use when you're signing
up for your rewards programs or creating online

940
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:53.800
accounts. When you sign up,
you're going to be giving up options of

941
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:58.319
popular companies data brokers that could have
your information. And if you think that

942
01:08:58.399 --> 01:09:00.479
company might have your data and you
want to do something about it. You

943
01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:05.119
select learn more and take Action.
That's actually a tab learn more and take

944
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:10.039
Action, and then you're going to
go to a screen that you know it's

945
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:12.880
going to show the sort of data
the company usually collects and what your options

946
01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:16.800
are. You could delete your account
with a specific company, you could just

947
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:24.680
say stop selling it. What happens
then, and this is the key,

948
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:30.560
permission slip submits their request on your
behalf, so you still might have to

949
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:35.159
confirm the request directly with the company
and also is probably going to take a

950
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:40.399
bit of time to have your request
processed. Your information is leaded, So

951
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:44.239
hang in there, people. But
that's one way to do it. It

952
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:46.439
just called a permission slip. Anybody
try out let me know next week.

953
01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:51.680
Uh, well more, somebody contacted
me, Michael, I hear you talking

954
01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:56.479
about US coins and jewelry with your
beautiful Rolex, which I plan to get

955
01:09:56.520 --> 01:09:59.359
one day, but until then,
I'm a smart watch guy. Do they

956
01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:02.439
sell smart wee and which ones can
you recommend? No? US coins and

957
01:10:02.479 --> 01:10:06.119
Joey does not sell smart watches.
They have beauty, I mean they have

958
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:11.680
unlimited supplies of gorgeous role Axes,
and a few others for men and women.

959
01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:14.680
No, you can get your smart
watch it. You can get those

960
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:17.600
things online, and they're getting cheaper
there. There is a lot of confusion

961
01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:23.920
too. I have probably let me
think, if I let me imagine my

962
01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:26.520
dressers or one, two, three, four, five, I may have

963
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:30.399
five right now that I'm testing.
Most of them are Samsung. I have

964
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:35.159
them going back to the Samsung version
three four. I've got two Samsung five's

965
01:10:35.199 --> 01:10:40.600
and I got two Samsung sixes.
Again, I'm an Android guy. I've

966
01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:44.159
never used an Apple eye watch,
so I'll let you guys figure that out.

967
01:10:44.640 --> 01:10:45.720
Probably one of the more expensive one. I will tell you that what

968
01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:48.760
I've been using real quickly over the
past three or four weeks. It came

969
01:10:48.760 --> 01:10:53.720
out. It is from a company
called one Plus o n e pl Us.

970
01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:58.239
One Plus also makes phones, and
I actually I got my dad a

971
01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:00.960
one plus phone, the one Plus
twelve a few weeks ago, and he

972
01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:04.720
loves it. It is an Android
phone and it's really really good. It's

973
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:09.479
speedy. They've been making phones for
years, and one Plus just came out

974
01:11:09.479 --> 01:11:13.199
with their second version of their watch. It's called the one Plus Watch too.

975
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:18.680
Very creative about anywhere between two hundred
and fifty to three hundred dollars.

976
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:24.520
And it's larger than normal. When
I wear it, some people, you

977
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:28.479
know, they notice it, which
is It's fine. I actually like,

978
01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:30.880
maybe it's because I'm a dude and
I got a hairy arms, just like

979
01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:33.520
I want people to notice my watches. They notice when I know I'm wearing

980
01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:38.159
a Rolex from US Goings and Enjoy, and they noticed the smart watch just

981
01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:41.720
like, what is that That doesn't
look like an Apple eye watch. I'm

982
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:45.800
like, no, it's not,
because it's own versus the kind of rectangular

983
01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:50.159
square of the Apple eyeway. But
it's one point four to three inches across

984
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:58.079
little sapphire crystal display and it is
it. The battery life is so freaking

985
01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:03.880
impressive. Charge last potentially up to
one hundred hours if it's in smart mode,

986
01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:08.720
twelve days if you put in power
saver mode. And I'm you know,

987
01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:11.319
I don't like putting in a power
saving mode, but that's how long

988
01:12:11.359 --> 01:12:14.319
it can you do. It could
track your sleep like you know in stress

989
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:17.800
and your your fitness metrics in two
and it's got customizable buttons and you can

990
01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:23.600
download all the the apps and whatever
it is, but I just I just

991
01:12:24.199 --> 01:12:26.279
like it. It is different and
it is big and it works well.

992
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:29.239
So that's what I'm wearing. Again. They did not pay me to say

993
01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:31.119
this. I've just been playing with
it. I'm going to return it to

994
01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:34.239
them. But that's I test products
for thirty days or so, and there

995
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:39.800
you go. It's nice. It's
got Google's where Os four platform, which

996
01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:42.800
is the latest. So there you
go. That answers your question. That

997
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:45.239
is the what's Michael wearing on his
wrist right now? Versus what's Michael driving?

998
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:48.319
Which I told you last segment.
What's Michael about to do right now?

999
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:53.039
I'm about to hang up the microphone
and hit with my buddies who are

1000
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:58.399
in the sportsbook watching the first of
the next round of games as we wrap

1001
01:12:58.479 --> 01:13:01.880
up the show from Las Vegas,
fifth thirty six year from Las Vegas on

1002
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:05.319
the very first weekend of March Madness. It is a trans tradition with a

1003
01:13:05.399 --> 01:13:09.680
lot of my guys from college,
and it is something so fun wherever you

1004
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:13.800
are watching those games, rooting for
your favorite team, Go Koogs, Go

1005
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:17.880
Longhorns. Certainly in the ladies bracket, you enjoy yourself. I do thank

1006
01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:21.000

see what is up next week. Until
