00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.880
I is Michael Garfier of Michael Garfield. Michael Garfield's joining in the high Tech

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

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.879
easier, some new technology. So
Michael Garfield has something you might want.

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:32.479
Michael Garfield is your high tech Texan, three decades helping you make magic with

5
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:41.039
your gadgets. I heard worldwide on
the iHeartRadio add now your high tech Texan,

6
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.799
Michael Garfield. And with that opening, we say hello. On the

7
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.280
second weekend of December twenty twenty three, a few weeks away from the new

8
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.039
year, which means we got to
hurry up and get all those gifts my

9
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.439
friends, for those celebrating Hanukkah,
which started like three nights ago, two

10
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.479
and a half nights ago. I
want to wish all of our Jewish friends

11
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.280
is very happy Hanakkah. The holiday
begins and it lasts for eight days.

12
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.040
And I'll tell you what this year. It comes during a a horrific global

13
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:19.439
spike in anti Semitic rhetoric attacks.
But Hankika's message of finding light in times

14
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.239
of darkness, it's taken on a
greater residence this year. So hang in

15
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.599
there. My friends light the candles, and I hope things do get lighter

16
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.879
in our lives in this country,
in the Middle East and what have you.

17
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.200
Without getting too heavy and too deep, we were going to start this

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.359
show again seven one three, two
one two five nine five ozho the number

19
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.200
hadn't changed two plus decades. I've
been doing this and this is two plus

20
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.480
decade, eight decades of holiday gift
giving ideas. I look at Callum Reid.

21
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.560
He's pushed the buttons and keeping us
on air, right through that glass

22
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.519
I'm looking at. Could you do
me a favorite? Could you make sure

23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.439
I answer at least one phone call. Sometimes I just don't even look at

24
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.879
the phone. I'll answer a few
calls, a call or something like that,

25
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.439
especially because I want to ask all
my listeners. You know, what

26
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:13.240
can you suggest for holiday season?
You know, I'm I'm a fifty in

27
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.599
the fifties, and you know,
a white male, and maybe I know

28
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.879
what I want and what's good for
me, even though I try to keep

29
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.240
an eye out for everybody male,
female, wherever you're from. But maybe

30
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.080
you kids out there, maybe your
grandparents out there, maybe say hey,

31
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.000
listen, I got something. I
found something my kids wanted this. I

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.960
got this for myself. Why didn't
you share it with me? You can

33
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.919
do that on a high tech Texan
all the social media also seven one,

34
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.039
three, two, one two,
five nine five. Oh. I am

35
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.599
going to give you some holiday shopping
suggestions different categories too. Somebody asked me

36
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.960
about travel gifts, gifts that are
good for travelers. A lot of people

37
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.000
are road warriors, and so I
definitely can come up with something like that.

38
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:57.520
I can give you some fun local
based shops. I was on Great

39
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.800
Day Houston, CBS Channel eleven,
as I am semi regularly. This past

40
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.479
week I was. I spotlighted a
few local stores if you have a little

41
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.919
budget, not maybe not for everybody. Gave you some ideas, one of

42
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.120
which was from US coins and jewelry. I brought on TV and I had

43
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.479
to have a security guard with me. They brought over a four hundred thousand

44
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.680
dollars gold boullion. Yes, they
have this in their vault. Not that

45
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.120
anybody is going to buy these things
in a regular basis, but it is

46
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.759
there for you. But they also
brought over some jewelry and coins, some

47
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.759
Texas memorabilia if you're looking for maybe
some old maps or We brought in a

48
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.520
before the Texas was a state,
it was what the Nation of Texas.

49
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.680
It was a lean certificate that you
could buy for a thousand dollars or something

50
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520
was framed. It's really nice.
Memory million at the US Coins and Jewelry

51
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.759
on Katie Freeway. You go check
that out. Brought something in from Republic

52
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.840
Boots. Great certificate. Get somebody
a handmade pair of boots. It does

53
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.479
take a little while, but boy, they know how to do it there

54
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.759
in the Heights. I thought that
was pretty fun. And then to top

55
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.080
out the old cowboy Western where I
went over to the hat store and I

56
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.960
brought in a few hats, not
just cowboy hats, but some fedoras,

57
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.080
some chickipoo hats with feathers. It's
give you some nice things. And so

58
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.000
those are the non technological things I
talked about. I do have some techie

59
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.360
things, or you know what,
I have a few other non techie things.

60
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.319
I asked my son, I have
three boys, and asked my youngest

61
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.480
son, I said, what do
you want? What do you want for

62
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.519
gift? And the only thing the
kid wants is tickets to the National Championship

63
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.399
game here in Houston on January eighth. The kid like me is pretty cocky,

64
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.000
and we do believe that the University
of Texas Longhorns will be here in

65
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.240
NRG Stadium. But he wants tickets. Have you seen the ticket prices?

66
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.439
It is literally one month before the
game. The minimum to get in,

67
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.079
I guess on the secondary market,
the the seat geeks and what have you

68
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.720
is eighteen hundred bones. And that's
for the top level. I saw something

69
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.360
for seven thousand dollars. This is
if the Longhorns make it in here,

70
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.240
it could be the most expensive ticket. Actually, I can put that it

71
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.279
will be the most expensive ticket to
any college sporting event ever because it's going

72
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.680
to be like a home game for
the for the Longhorns. Texas travels well,

73
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.079
the fans travel well, Texas fans
have money. It's gonna be big.

74
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.160
So you know what, maybe you
should go ahead and buy those tickets

75
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.800
right now. What are your what
are your thoughts on gift cards? I

76
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.959
love gift cards. Again, you
may not. This is this is this

77
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.439
is me, this is card man. You give me some gift cards.

78
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.759
I'm going to town. Oh it's
not personal. I don't care people.

79
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.800
You absolutely, my man, my
girls, whoever give me some gift cards.

80
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.920
If I could pick this is not
this is actually I'm begging right now

81
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.439
my favorite gift card. If I
could pick a store, a local store,

82
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.680
I probably would pick Academy Sports because
I could always get something in Academy.

83
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:56.040
I'm a runner. I go through
shoes every three months, running gear.

84
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.199
They've got ammunition for my gun as
they've got I just had to go

85
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.519
get a duck in fishing license.
Think guys, they got some cool stuff.

86
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.399
Target's pretty cool. Walmart. Hell, I'll take KGB. I don't

87
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.600
care what what is wrong with the
gift card. It means a lea.

88
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.160
Hey, listen, it's better than
getting Jack Squad, if you know what

89
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.959
I'm saying. Seven three, nine
five, Oh, all right, some

90
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.800
of the other things coming up.
Uh, here is something that and I

91
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.480
gotta I'm gonna get this guy on
the I'm gonna get him on the phone

92
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.199
here in the next segment. Here
is something you don't think of. You

93
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.399
need to give the gift of health. And this is again from another fifty

94
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:42.120
plus year old dude talking to you. We are not getting younger, and

95
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.199
we need to make sure we're in
good health. I have not been in

96
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.639
the greatest health as of Lake for
some stupid reason, and I'm not giving

97
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.720
you my hippa, but there is
something you need to go get. You

98
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.759
need to make sure that you guys, everybody is free of cancer, free

99
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:03.680
of you know, you know it's
you know, check your Cohen Colonoscovis and

100
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.720
me he goes on or not.
There's something called an advanced body scan,

101
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.360
and there is a it's really this
is technologically advanced. It is a scan

102
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.959
that you lay down in for less
than five minutes. It scanned your entire

103
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.800
body and actually can see things inside
your already arteries, your calcium score in

104
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:23.879
your heart. It can determine if
something that you hadn't even had a clue

105
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.800
is in your body. We're going
to talk to the founder of Advanced Body

106
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.319
Scan and I think he's going to
throw out a nice little I told him,

107
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.879
if he comes on, he's got
to throw it a little promotion for

108
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.680
my listeners, So stand by for
that. So when I talk about things

109
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.480
to get, we really do go
off the cuff, off the chain and

110
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.759
more than happy to take your calls
and read all your text in your tweets.

111
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.839
I'm sorry your ex's and everything that
you put on Instagram for me.

112
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:53.319
We will remember a few people who
have passed this year. And I'm also

113
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:58.120
going to count down. I saw
this the top twenty five Wikipedia articles of

114
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:03.519
twenty twenty three. It really surprise
me, the Wikipedia articles, and I

115
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.639
would think Taylor Swift would be number
one. She's not even in the top

116
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.199
ten. You'd be get surprised what
the top twenty five articles are. Stand

117
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.240
by, We're gonna come back.
We're gonna talk to Steve Marler. He

118
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.639
is with advanced body scan, just
to kind of give you some ideas how

119
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.319
to make sure that you were healthy
going into twenty twenty four. All your

120
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.920
questions, all your calls on the
Fun, Fun, Fun High Tech Texan

121
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:28.839
Show, we are back at it, Michael Garfield, the long running High

122
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.559
Tech Textan Show. Thanks to everybody
logging on all over the country on iHeartRadio

123
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.240
Holiday gift giving time. And you
know, I'm in the midst of my

124
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.720
holiday gift guides. And yes I
do talk about products and a lot of

125
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.159
services too, but I got something
you probably don't think of, maybe giving

126
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.919
somebody a lot longer to live.
You know, I do cover the health

127
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.679
and medical industries, certainly being here
in Houston, and I want to give

128
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.320
people to ideas of what to give
people to maybe make sure that they're in

129
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.840
good health, better health, fix
their health as we move into twenty twenty

130
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.159
five. For one of which that
was very I wasn't that familiar with,

131
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.000
but I did a lot of research. Deborah Duncan, one of my coworkers

132
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:13.399
at Great Day Houston, she had
suggested I'd look into preventative scans, actually

133
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.480
something called advanced body scan here in
Houston, and I thought the technology is

134
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.559
absolutely, at least from reading it, a wonderful thing. I want to

135
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.200
get to know a little bit more
about it. So you know what I

136
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.360
did. I got the owner.
I got the man himself who created the

137
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.000
concept. His name is Steve Marler. Steve joins me. Steve, I

138
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.000
appreciate your time. How are you
in the world of health? I hope

139
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.440
you're one hundred percent right. Hi, Michael, I'm great, and thank

140
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:41.559
you for having us here. Listen, tell me about the concept of preventative

141
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.039
scans and how you started your company. You bet so. Approximately fourteen years

142
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.840
ago now, my mother was diagnosed
with the late stage ANSWER and I was

143
00:09:52.919 --> 00:10:00.200
in the imaging world. Unfortunately,
she passed away from the consequent treatment after

144
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.039
the diagnosis, and it was a
terrible ending. I knew that this technology

145
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.480
was available. It was, but
there was a barrier to get to it,

146
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600
and so we had to find a
way to use this technology to detect

147
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.000
these deadly diseases at the earliest stages. And we worked through those barriers.

148
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.559
Took us a few years. We
finally got going on it. In the

149
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.000
first day we opened advanced body scan, I put my dad in the scanner,

150
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.679
found out he had a near fatal
heart problem. Within days, he

151
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.240
was in an open heart surgery.
He's going to be eighty nine this coming

152
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.080
year and just doing fantastic and there's
no doubt he wouldn't be here if we

153
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.080
had in the scan. That's the
motivation that's driven us to open these locations

154
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.360
and make this successful. To everyone
you talk about scans, let's say so

155
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.240
many of us we've had CT scans
or MRIs and different parts of the body.

156
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.480
This is an entire body, it's
the whole body scan. Let me

157
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.919
start with this. What type of
scan is it? Technology was so we

158
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.440
actually do the body scan itself on
a CT scanner. It's one of the

159
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:11.240
most advanced cts available today. We
use Siemens products in Houston, but we

160
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:18.679
also do brain scans AI over red
brain scans on our three t MRI here

161
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.480
in our Houston facility. As well. We offer several different types of scans,

162
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.480
heart and lung scans. We offer
a virtual colonoscopy scan. All of

163
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.720
these are designed to detect early stage
heart disease and cancer. And again,

164
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.639
heart disease and cancer are the two
deadliest diseases that kill more people than all

165
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.440
other diseases combined. Again, I
think it's one of the reasons I wanted

166
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.080
to spotlight this especially. You know, you don't think about this as a

167
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.799
giving or a gift or something like
that, but there's nothing more precious in

168
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.639
the gift of life. As we
continue to talk to Steve Marler, Steve

169
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.240
is with advanced body scan. We'll
make sure to give the address here in

170
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.000
the Houston area. There's also a
few of the locations across the country,

171
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.639
so we'll let you know what is
the process, Steve. Once you're in

172
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.240
there that body scan on that CT
scan. Er, how long does it

173
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.679
take? Great question? This is
one of the easiest medical tests you'll ever

174
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.440
take. It takes less than five
minutes. Now when you come into our

175
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.519
office, we're going to do a
pre consultation with you. We're going to

176
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.440
talk about your previous history, medical
history, and your previous family history.

177
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.799
But this scan itself, there's no
needles, there's no dies. You dress

178
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.159
just as you are. You literally
lay down on the machine for a few

179
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.440
seconds. You go in and out
of a big wide opening. You never

180
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.320
stop inside the machine. And it's
like you say, it takes less than

181
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.000
five minutes. When you're done,
you get up and walk out. What

182
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.360
do you see? And how long
does it take to actually get the results?

183
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.919
So the results come in five to
seven days if there's nothing critical.

184
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.879
You know, we have a trained
technician and of course a board certified radiologist,

185
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.200
doctor Anthony Sparks, who reads every
scan we do. If you see

186
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.039
something, you will you will get
a call almost immediately within twenty four hours.

187
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.919
We look at every major in the
body, as well as the heart

188
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.879
and the vessels around the heart.
We're looking for the things that cause heart

189
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.639
attacks. Let's face it, what's
the first symptom of a heart attack?

190
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.519
Well, I mean, listen,
I think I was taught when I was

191
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.559
going through boy Scouts. Having your
chest starts to tighten, your shortness of

192
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.600
breath, maybe something happens on your
left side of your body busy correct,

193
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.840
which is a heart attack. Right. Unfortunately, most of the time the

194
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.080
first sign of a heart attack is
a heart attack, and even with today's

195
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.360
advanced technology, still over half are
fatal. So the key is to find

196
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.919
and these these symptoms come usually after
years of having signs of the disease that

197
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.320
just haven't manifested into symptoms yet.
So that's the key. We get the

198
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.320
scan, we see it at an
early stage, and then you can get

199
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.399
help. It's diet change, it
could be intervention, it could be all

200
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.960
types of things. And you know, we have one of the most fabulous

201
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.200
medical community in the world right here
in Houston, Texas. So it's easy

202
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.600
and quick to get help once you
have the information. And that's what we're

203
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.440
talking about here. When you get
this report, you've got access that information.

204
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.919
If we have findings, will help
you get into this fabulous medical system

205
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.200
that we have here in Houston,
Texas. One more question or so good

206
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.559
this one coming from a listener.
Just email me right now. Do you

207
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.519
get or can you get a heart
calcium score with the scan? Absolutely every

208
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.960
scan we do comes with a heart
calcium score, except our virtual kronoscopy.

209
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.360
But we're going to do an offer
for your listeners. You mentioned give the

210
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.759
gift of lie. We're going to
do a couple's heart and lung scan.

211
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.559
So that's for two people for two
So I'm sorry, I've got confused.

212
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.559
We're going to do a couple's heart
scan which includes the calcium score, and

213
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:56.279
it's also includes the radiology report as
I said, as Red barboard certified radiologists.

214
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.399
And for both of you, it's
only one hundred ninety nine do for

215
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:05.519
your listeners. WHOA that is holiday
special. I tell you what, Steve,

216
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.320
what I mean. I generally know
kind of the pricing of these things.

217
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.200
If your research for this is for
couples, this is the gift that

218
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.879
keeps on giving. This is great. It's called Advanced Body Scan. You

219
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.960
can give us the location here in
the Houston area, you bet. We're

220
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.639
located at forty four sixty Bisonette Street
in bel Air, Texas. So it's

221
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.039
at the corner of Newcastle and Bisonet. And if you'd like to talk to

222
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.600
us further or get scheduled for a
scan, you can give us a call

223
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:39.159
at eight three three four one one
scan again, it's eight three three four

224
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:45.360

Tell you what that is that that's something

225
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.440
that should be in your stocking and
in everybody's right underneath everybody's Christmas tree.

226
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.679
Steve Marler, Advanced Body Scan.
I'll tell you what I can. I

227
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.120
can't even imagine the survivor's stories that
you have. It's just amazing. And

228
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.720
the fact that you caught you know, you're with what you talked about your

229
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.480
dad, it's the you know,
thanks to what you came up with.

230
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.639
There are are probably a lot of
people who should thank you. We've had

231
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.080
tremendous amounts of success stories that if
you go to our website at Advanced bodyscan

232
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.519
dot com and look under success stories, you will see a lot of these

233
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.759
testimonials. Well good, all right, folks, how about this? Put

234
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.039
it on the Michael Garfield Holiday Gift
Guy. Generally I talk about phones or

235
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.919
cars or televisions. Why not get
it? I got an entire preventative body

236
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.320
scan, Advanced body scan, especially
with the special that Steve did. Steve,

237
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.039
listen, I appreciate, my man, We do appreciate your time and

238
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.279
congrats on your success. Michael,
thank you for helping us spread the work

239
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:45.600
and early detection saved lives. We
appreciate that. That is Steve Marler.

240
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.080
If you're just tuning in, you
missed it. Really I really did interesting

241
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.759
conversation advanced body scan. I'll tell
you what I need to go through one

242
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.399
of those things. I did one
once about eighteen years ago. I mean

243
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.360
really, that technology was nothing like
it is right now. And uh,

244
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.240
it's amazing what you can see.
It's amazing what you can find. And

245
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.759
there's so many I was on the
website. There's so many survivor stories,

246
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:15.400
really interesting things that people have caught
tumas, cancers, things, hard issues

247
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.880
before it's before they would even know. And so it's it's it's not a

248
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.160
sexy gift, but I'm telling you
what life could be sexy, depending on

249
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.319
how you look at it. Michael
Garfield High Tech Text and Show. If

250
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:30.799
you don't know the number yet,
seven one three, two, one two,

251
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.039
five nine five ohs. Somebody wanted
to know, Hey, Garth,

252
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.559
what are your favorite travel gifts?
I'm a traveler, And then I got

253
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.200
another one later in the week that
said, hey, you know what,

254
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.720
my husband travels a lot. Anything
small. I mean, I know you

255
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:47.039
you know, get any headphones or
smaller laptops, anything that you would recommend.

256
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:51.000
There's actually a lot of things in
the world of travel that would be

257
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.279
really good gifts. I'd start with
headphones and earphones. If you are a

258
00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.039
traveler and on a plane a lot, I would actually say you need you

259
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:06.160
probably look at some noise canceling headphones
or even noise canceling ear buds if you

260
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:08.839
will. And I'm trying to avoid
well, I'll give you some specific name

261
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.759
brand recommendations. But between the crying
babies and the chatty neighbors and the flights,

262
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.160
whoever you're going to give a gift
to, they may like a pair

263
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.480
of noise canceling headphones. Generally you
can charge them the USB. Some of

264
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.640
them take some batteries. Number of
them out there. They're gonna noise canceling.

265
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.039
It doesn't one hundred percent canceling noise, but it just kind of what

266
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.680
they do is they pump in some
white noise which then drowns out crying babies

267
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.160
and what have you. So it's
a nice kind of home. And yes,

268
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.279
you could put these noise canceling headphones
on and you could bluetooth them to

269
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.319
your phone, bluetooth them to your
tablet or laptop so you can watch your

270
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.519
movies and everything on your through your
headphones, and so they just don't have

271
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.279
to sit there and be quiet.
Really, what you want to look for,

272
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.680
you want to look at long battery
life if you want to specifically,

273
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.960
Sony makes up obviously several pair out
there. They're not the cheapest thing.

274
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.559
It's here's something. Let's say I'm
just looking at Amazon or something. Three

275
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.279
hundred and twenty eight dollars. See, that's a lot. You don't need

276
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.240
to spend three hundred plus dollars.
I mean, you can get some decent

277
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.680
ones for over one hundred dollars or
so. You can also get some earbuds

278
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.359
now over the ear headphones. They're
gonna do a much better job of canceling

279
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.599
out noise than the ear buds just
because and we call them cans here in

280
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.759
the radio lingo. They're hey,
man, you got your cans? Those

281
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.680
are? You know? You can
imagine what a DJ in the studio,

282
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.640
you know, always wears or used
to wear. Those were cancer. They

283
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.759
cover your ears and they're gonna block
out noise much better. And they're gonna

284
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.799
give you a good sound too,
always better. Now they're not as convenient

285
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.200
as those earbuds, EarPods, whatever
you want to call them, but a

286
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:53.240
lot of these new over the ear
earphones they will fold up. They're pretty

287
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:59.680
compact in those we're pretty too,
So that's just suggestion number one. If

288
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.079
they If you know somebody who stays
in hotels, you actually can give them

289
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:10.440
a little streaming stick like a Roku
streaming stick or an Amazon fire stick,

290
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:17.039
because they're these things are like little
compact media players. And television's in hotel

291
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.799
rooms now they pretty much have HDMI
ports in the back or the side of

292
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.920
the TV. You could plug something
in there, so you could travel with

293
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:27.599
these things because it's the size of
a USB stick, if you will.

294
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.920
And one specifically I mentioned the Roku. Roku has a streaming stick for k

295
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.880
and I think it's under forty dollars
or so, and it's going to make

296
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.079
it easier for them that they're sitting
in a hotel all night. They can

297
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:45.079
stream all their favorite shows and their
movies right on that TV. So no

298
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.039
longer do they have to look at
it at a laptop. They don't have

299
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.720
to look at whatever the hotel shoddy
channel selection is and it's it's just nice,

300
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.440
tiny little doer dongle and it draws
the power from the TVs, you

301
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.799
know, USB ports or the Hdmi
ports. It's pretty cool. I mean

302
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.559
that's something you didn't think of.
But for big travelers, for you know,

303
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:03.599
if you travel a lot and you
stay in a hotel, you know,

304
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.079
get them a get him a streaming
stick. I thought that would be

305
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.799
pretty neat. Let's see non tech. I actually showed off adopt kit.

306
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.839
I have no clue where the word
adopt DPP came up. But for dudes,

307
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:22.160
I guess what a girls call it, bathroom carry makeup kits. Dudes

308
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.839
are dop kits, so I are
totletree kits, whatever it is. I

309
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.799
showed off a beautiful leather one that
Republic Boot Company on the Heights they had.

310
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.160
You don't need go extravagant, but
a totally try kit. Put all

311
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.519
your deodorant, your lip balm,
your face wash, everything in there.

312
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.839
You can, even you don't get
it monogram. That's again, I'm just

313
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.720
thinking travel stuff. If you travel
internationally, like my son is doing right

314
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.680
now, gosh, I forgot to
actually give him my travel adapter, a

315
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.920
travel adapter not the sexiest gift ever
fits in a stocking though, but some

316
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.119
of the international travelers you may want
to keep in your bag. Check out

317
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.079
the ones that are going to work
with your European UK, maybe the Australian

318
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.200
outlets. But you know, make
it essential and these things are they fit

319
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.480
in the palm of your hand.
It's like a big ice tube, if

320
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.319
you will. Some of these new
ones they have a USB ports built in,

321
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.960
so you now you can plug it
into this wall wherever you are and

322
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.000
you could charge into some mobile devices. I thought that was pretty neat.

323
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:25.279
So here's one fifteen fifteen bucks.
What's the name of this brim new Wanga

324
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:30.960
n E w v A n G
A new Venga travel power adapter that's on

325
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.519
Amazon right now. Speakers too,
So if you travel, you go,

326
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.160
you lay out in the pool,
maybe you play tennis, you're playing your

327
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.720
pickleball or something. If you want
to play your speakers, Santra. There's

328
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.920
a ton of travel speakers out there. JBL. You get these things for

329
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.119
under fifteen thirty forty fifty dollars.
Attach them to chairs. You could put

330
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.480
them in your TA rack and a
hotel room so maybe in your hotel room,

331
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.640
you don't want to stream stuff on
television. Maybe you want to listen

332
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:02.799
to your music, so you can
clip these on anywhere. So that's another

333
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.319
thing you could potentially do. You
may want to get ear plugs. You

334
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.279
want low tech noise canceling things.
Get go get some earplus. Here's a

335
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.039
cheap one. Go to your gun
store, go to Texas gun Club,

336
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.079
go to go to academy. What
do they like? There's little orange squishy

337
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.200
things. Go get those things over
do they like? Forty cents or so?

338
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.319
There you got. It's Pretty's pretty
nice, dude. Laptops are small.

339
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.640
Don't sleep on the fact that you
can get a little tiny wireless mouse.

340
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:33.759
Also laptops sometimes people don't like using
the touchpad or the joystick or something.

341
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.000
Logitech, for example, they make
a really tiny travel mouse. It's

342
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:42.240
wireless, little bluetooth thing. It's
lightweight's like ninety five grams. It's got

343
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.039
a scroll wheel, very smooth,
you know, certainly under one hundred dollars.

344
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.359
Maybe're gonna get that for seventy five
or eighty hours. Backpacks, oh

345
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.640
very good, litt I can go
tell you to get a beautiful leather overnight

346
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.839
thing. But get a backpack,
get one that has padded no reason.

347
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.920
I mean, listen, I can
give you some that cost hundreds of dollars.

348
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.799
Spend a little something, maybe make
it a little fashionable. You know,

349
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.279
you don't have to go out and
get a Gucci or a coat or

350
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
anything like this. But go get
something that's got a padded pocket for that

351
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.039
laptop or for your tablet. To
make sure it's got a lot of pockets

352
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.960
that come in different colors. If
you want to, you can decorate it,

353
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.039
girls, if you want to get
something for dead, I guess you

354
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.640
can. What's what's this stuff called? When you could put the glitz,

355
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.279
the glitz and the glimmer and the
whole thing. You can sparkle it up

356
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:30.160
whatever you can, barb it up, on it with. I don't have

357
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.799
a girls, people, I don't
know what it's called. Sunglasses always good

358
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:38.160
too, travel sunglasses. Maybe some
plastic ones you can you can you could

359
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.240
throw in the bag. And I
guess one more thing is I guess get

360
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.880
some subscriptions. Get a subscription to
a streaming service. Get it maybe a

361
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.000
book service you could, you know, speaking of books, traveling with with

362
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:56.839
tablets are great or even those.
An e reader doesn't have to be an

363
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.039
Amazon Kindle or something. There are
a number of off brand one's one is

364
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:07.559
called I think it's called the Cobo
Kobo less than one hundred and fifty two

365
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.799
hundred dollars and then get them a
subscription to to download some books. And

366
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.559
so for the traveler in your life, that actually may be something really really

367
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.920
special. What did I forget?
People? What did I forget? Seven

368
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.279
to one three two one two five
nine five? Oh? What else can

369
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:27.960
I tell you? Over here?
It's some updated news here on the I

370
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.599
gave you some news about a week
or two ago that said, uh,

371
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:37.599
I've iOS the iPhone. They are
going to start playing nice with Android between

372
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.599
the green bubbles and the blue bubbles, and they're going to have some you

373
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.880
know, they're gonna meld the fact
that everybody the messaging system is going to

374
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.759
work across It's not there yet.
Maybe it's gonna come in twenty twenty four.

375
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.440
Who the heck knows. But there
is an app for all you Android

376
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:59.519
people could actually download that just came
out. It is called Deeper Mini m

377
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:04.200
I. Now the Beeper is a
chat app. We're gonna call it what's

378
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.839
app and whatever, But there's like
this teenagers it high schooler I think who

379
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.200
came up with this app and he
did a workaround. It is legal.

380
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:18.519
It's the Beeper Mini Am, I
and I app, and it's got a

381
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.319
pretty bold claim to bring true ie
message support to Android devices. I have

382
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.119
an Android device. I get ragged
on the fact that I'm not a blue

383
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:29.799
messenger, I'm a greener or something
like that. I haven't downloaded, but

384
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.160
there's a lot of buzzer everywhere that
this thing actually works. So if you

385
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.319
go to Android, go to deeper
Mini am, I and I the kid

386
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.799
it was created by some sixteen year
old high school student. Note to my

387
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.559
kids who are in their twenties,
lazy bumbs. Come on, man,

388
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.839
were what were you doing when you
were sixteen? And apparently the bubbles will

389
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.240
be blue. You don't have to
any more social havef to have any more

390
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.559
social stigma link to green bubbles.
You don't need an Apple I'd need to

391
00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.480
log in. I'll tell you this. The platform is not hacking the eye

392
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:07.079
message experience, so it works on
Android. It is the ie message experience

393
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.079
working on Android because it's sending actual
eye messages. I need to download this.

394
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.119
But I heard that's pretty hot.
There's your news right now. All

395
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.359
right, I'll tell you what I
promise. I'm gonna pick up a phone

396
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.920
call because the phone the phones are
bumping right now. Seven one three two

397
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.720
five nine five. Oh. We're
gonna continue Holiday Edition high Tech technagure.

398
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.400
Give you the phone number one more
time. See if we can get to

399
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.559
some calls. Seven one three two
one two five nine five. Oh.

400
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.119
That number has not changed well over
twenty years I have been doing this radio

401
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.160
show. We continue to give you
some ideas of what's going on with the

402
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:47.920
holiday shopping season. Many products and
services are out there, but you know,

403
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.160
listen, my job is to scour
all the aisles and all of the

404
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.319
websites and web pages to tell you
what's going on. You know, I'm

405
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.200
more of than happy to talk to
you out there, if you want to

406
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.319
call, if you want to send
me an email, or hit me up

407
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.279
on the social media. Matter of
fact, let's go to a phone call

408
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.440
right now. Somebody may happen to
have an answer this. Oh, look

409
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.400
who's on the phone. I have
not talked to my eye doctor to the

410
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:14.839
stars in Forever, the one,
the only doctor, Alan Panzer. What's

411
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.720
up, Doc, Well, I
thought i'd call and talk to you about

412
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.319
the latest Meta ray Man glasses.
There's some new ones out. Well,

413
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.319
yes, you know we had the
stories before that we had the Google glass

414
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:34.160
or whatever, but right, Meta
glass, and it's very unique and very

415
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.240
new. I was at your office, Wax. I go regularly because I

416
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.720
get my eyes checked up, and
I love just perusing your sunglasses and you

417
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.359
were so excited. How many months
ago was it because you had them?

418
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.839
I guess the first version of the
Meta obviously being the parent company of folks

419
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.400
of Facebook and what's happened in Instagram
and what have you, so they are

420
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.960
a parent and I'll talk to the
audience over here. But there are glasses

421
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.599
that can actually be darkened I believe
to be like sunglasses do. And and

422
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.880
you can put a prescription lens in
there, right, Doc. There's a

423
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:10.680
camera and controlling on your phone.
I believe you can record video, and

424
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.000
there's microphones that you can do Bluetooth
in the whole thing. So there's a

425
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.240
there's an updating pair you're saying over
here, it does something different. Yes,

426
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.519
this pair has five microphones and two
speakers, so that you can have

427
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.519
bluetooth into your ears and you can. At this point you'll be able to

428
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:32.799
say, hey, meta, videotape
Michael Garfield, and it will start videotaping.

429
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.759
So on one side is a high
resolution camera and on the other side

430
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.799
it's just a little light to let
you know that you're being videotaped. Interestingly

431
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.480
enough, it's a white light,
not a red light, so you might

432
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:51.079
not notice that you're being taped.
But it has the click on it,

433
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.720
of course, you know, like
a mouse, but two clicks get you

434
00:29:53.799 --> 00:30:00.039
Spotify, one click gets you your
music off of your phone, and and

435
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.240
it's just kind of astonishing. It's
four hours you can run it. It

436
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:11.119
has an eyeglass case which has the
ability to charge it eight times or so,

437
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.200
and so you can actually it's up
to thirty six hours of charge in

438
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.720
the case, so you can go
on a hiking trip, let's say,

439
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:25.000
and you can video. Now you
can only do one minute of video.

440
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:29.359
It can stream for thirty minutes straight
to Facebook. But after your one minute

441
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.039
video, you could hit it again
and you could take another video. How

442
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:37.279
much did you sell it for now? I think they are about three hundred

443
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.599
and fifty dollars. Astonishingly they're not
as expensive as one might think. The

444
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:48.720
one area that I find not as
flattering is that they are sunglasses. Well,

445
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.640
if you wanted to go to a
party in video, you wouldn't want

446
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.319
to walk in wearing sunglasses. So
the product that is selling the most is

447
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.759
a transition lens, and it turns
extremely dark when you side, and so

448
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:06.400
they come with yellow lenses and they
can have your prescription put in them.

449
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:11.640
But I think anybody who's really interested
would probably put a transition lens with their

450
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.480
prescription or no prescription if they didn't
happen to need it. That way,

451
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.920
you could go in and out wear
them all the time and be able to

452
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.640
video wherever you were, as well
as listen to your Bluetooth music. The

453
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:29.599
sound is very good, and the
microphones will allow you to interview somebody with

454
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.240
them just sitting on your face.
You know. It's funny. I remember

455
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:36.759
the Google Glass. This was the
first of it's kind years ago and it

456
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.880
was in beta test. They were
a thousand bucks each and they were so

457
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:42.759
controversial. They just never took off, and I really think it was because

458
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:47.720
they were ahead of its time,
mostly because of privacy. I mean,

459
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:51.160
you could wear these glasses that look
like regular reading glasses or something, but

460
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:55.359
you also could be videotaping somebody,
and then people did not like that privacy

461
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.720
wise, and so Google kind of
killed the whole Google Glass and Meta along

462
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:02.079
my ray Band kind of like the
co partnered to make these. They came

463
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.079
out with them. I remember about
a year or so ago. I guess

464
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.359
you're saying, now there's an upgraded
version, which is good. But the

465
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.960
thing is, though, it's kind
of scary. But they do as you

466
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.400
said, they do have that light. I guess it's a white light now.

467
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:16.039
To let you know, it's like
we call in the TV business,

468
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.720
we call it a tally light.
Usually it's a red light on a camera

469
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.960
in studio, but if you're recording
something, as I'm looking at you,

470
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.160
I can see this white light flashing
on your glasses and I could say,

471
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.359
uh, what are you doing?
Man, what's up? And so I

472
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.119
guess you can't do things, you
know, discreetly now because it's kind of

473
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:37.640
light. If you remember Google glasses, there was no mistaking what you were

474
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.640
wearing. It was a piece of
twisted wire. I mean, they did

475
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.759
not look like glasses. So that's
true, and that's true we're gonna sneak

476
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.680
one over like you could today with
a pair of wayfarers. I mean,

477
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.920
it's just not gonna happen. Whereas
this thing, you couldn't tell any difference

478
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.599
between the people that walk in my
office already wearing wayfares and the people wearing

479
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.000
the Google glasses the metaglasses are I
could, I could, And let me

480
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:05.640
tell you this. I can see
for me, like you know my obviously

481
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.680
my kids now they're in the twenties
and they do all the hittocking type of

482
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:13.119
things, and I think my son
even was interested in a pair for me.

483
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.079
I can see why they're useful for
me because when I do videos,

484
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.880
I do a lot of Instagram videos
and I do a lot of product reviews.

485
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.000
So let's just say I'm opening up
a box with my two hands,

486
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.319
and you know, I'm showing off
a phone or something. Well, I

487
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.799
see my perspective out of my eyes, but how are my two hands going

488
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:31.880
to be in the shot when one
hand is holding the phone. Now,

489
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.920
I actually can just put these glasses
on. It's got a camera and it's

490
00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:40.000
literally filming what I'm seeing. And
so I see there's a useful purpose of

491
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:45.160
these for these point of view type
of angles. There is a there is

492
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.799
a small issue, and that is
that the camera's on the left hand side.

493
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.680
So if you think you're pointing straight
out who you're shooting, uh,

494
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.079
there're gonna be a little more space
to the right, so you'll have to

495
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.200
kind of learn to turn your head
a little to no know, Zuckerberg's going

496
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.920
to have to go back to the
damn ballpark and create another camera with this

497
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:06.759
camera in the center. Let me
get him online, one hold on.

498
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:13.760
Anyway, it's a very fascinating,
very fascinating product. I think that at

499
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.000
the price point, you know,
three hundred plus dollars, it will sell

500
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:22.159
because plenty of people pay three hundred
dollars for guccies, for sap cheese,

501
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.679
you know, lots of things they
pay way more than that, and they

502
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:30.920
don't get. Basically a computer.
These are going to be able to translate

503
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:35.760
languages. They will be able to
point at an object and you will be

504
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.599
able to say, hey, Meta, what's that, and we'll say the

505
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:42.440
Statue of Liberty? Yeah, exactly, kind of like Google lens, which

506
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:45.760
is which is really nice. All
right, So doctor Allen Panser, three

507
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:46.960
h I mean, I haven't seen
these in the market, yet you have

508
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:51.079
them in your office three hundred and
fifty dollars or so. If we have

509
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.559
three or four pairs, but most
of them are going to be ordered,

510
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:57.280
you know, to what you want. In other words, we've got a

511
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.599
yellow pair and a gray pair and
a brown pair or whatever. But most

512
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.880
of the people, if they need
a prescription, we're going to special order

513
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:10.119
theirs. And at this point we're
being very careful with them. But they

514
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:15.599
also are waterproof. I mean they're
going to be I think it'll be a

515
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:21.079
very fascinating thing. I sold many
pairs of stories. I was quite surprised,

516
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.400
and people would go and go skiing, and then they would live stream

517
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:29.880
it to Facebook while they were skiing
or bob slutting or whatever they were doing.

518
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.320
So it's going to have some huge, huge benefits. As I said,

519
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.599
the only thing is, you know, if you purchase a pair as

520
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.679
a sunglass, then walking inside with
them, you're gonna have to take them

521
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:44.119
off and you're not going to see. So transition will solve that problem.

522
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:49.559
And they've got a super deeper transition
which turns extremely dark and extremely light.

523
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:51.360
All right, well, I'll tell
you what. Since that was the tip

524
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:52.119
of the day. I'll let you. I'll let you give a little sales

525
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.320
pitch over here. Where's your office? How can we get hold of you?

526
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.519
People want to come and grab some
My office is called the Houston Dry

527
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.039
Eye Clinic. Gets at Beach Nuts
six ten. Our phone number seven one

528
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:06.280
three six six four, forty seven
sixty and the forty seven sixties. Of

529
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.960
course our address, which makes it
kind of a little bit easier to remember.

530
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:14.440
We're right across the street from Ireland
and you know so been there for

531
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.760
thirty one years. Hey, speaking
of a dry eyes, give me about

532
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:21.880
thirty seconds over here, winter dry
season. My eyes are actually dry right

533
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:23.679
now? What's the secret? Should
I hydrate? Drink water, spray something?

534
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:27.760
They're going to come in and get
the low level light therapy. Okay,

535
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.320
file modulation, you know, like
you see the TV commercials where the

536
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.840
guy puts the Tommy copper on his
shoulders and said, yes, well we

537
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.079
have that as a mask and that
makes your dry eye go away. Get

538
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:42.840
out of here. Eight minutes?
How many fifteen minutes? See, I'll

539
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:45.639
tell you what in the morning,
before you before I before I do nothing,

540
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.639
I'll just roll. That is awesome. I look at this thing,

541
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:51.679
the dry eye King. He is
the eye doctor to the start. I've

542
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.800
got one other thing that is I'm
coming out with in their night vision glasses,

543
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.599
there's vision glasses. There's a company
that's come up with a particular color

544
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.760
which enables you to see more clearly
at night. I don't mean like the

545
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:13.159
green glasses of the military. It's
a pink lens and it makes night vision

546
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.119
unbelievable. Look at this guy.
So what I've done is I put him

547
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:20.960
into a fit over so that you
could put him over their glasses without wording

548
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.800
pink glasses. How about that?
You need to call him more often to

549
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.480
give us updated in the world of
eye technology stuff. Right, awesome,

550
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:29.960
Hey, it's great here. Yeah, what is so good for from you?

551
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.719
Listen, you have been a caller
friend doctor for gosh decades right now,

552
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:36.800

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:30.760
of the long time callers, Doctor
Allen Panzer gave us an update, a

577
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:37.320
gift suggestion. Actually, I'm the
freaky diky glasses that you can wear to

578
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:43.000
record things from Meta the latest from
Mark Zuckerborg as he gets into our lives

579
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.079
later at this hour, We're going
to talk a little bit of spirits.

580
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:50.199
You know, I'm a big rum
fan. Papa's Pila rum Is. We'll

581
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:53.079
be on tap and I give you
some cocktail recipes for that. What else

582
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:57.400
we got? I got some emails
we want to answer, and you know

583
00:39:57.480 --> 00:39:59.960
what, just real quickly, you
know, I know it's on a cup,

584
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.559
but we're gonna sit shiva, sit
a little shive over here. It

585
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:13.519
was very sad. Earlier this week, legendary sitcom producer screenwriter Norman Lear passed

586
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:19.400
away. Dude was one hundred and
one. And if you're of age,

587
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:25.840
and let's go back to the seventies
when we start his TV shows dominated the

588
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:32.360
airwaves. I mean they changed the
face of television because he wrote and he

589
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:40.119
developed comedy hits that really engage with
serious social issues. Starting with All in

590
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:49.000
the Family. Then he goes to
the Jeffersons and then Maud and I remember,

591
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.840
as I mean, I was a
relatively young kid, obviously in the

592
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.880
seventies, and All in the Family
was it, and I think it was.

593
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.480
It was a CBS lineup, was
a Monday Night. I'm not sure

594
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.159
All the Family, Jeffersons. I
never was a mod fan. Then he

595
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:07.440
goes a Good Times. This is
all comes out of Norman Lair. But

596
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.000
if you have to, and you
know what will open listen. We'll take

597
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:15.840
a little poll over here if you
could name the great the most iconic,

598
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:19.360
and I'm gonna say most iconic.
I'm not gonna say greatest, because it

599
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:22.559
could be it could be a hero, it could be a villain, could

600
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:29.800
be an anti hero. The most
iconic TV character and the history of let's

601
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:35.639
say comedy or sitcoms. You gotta
start at Archie Bunker, don't you.

602
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.119
I mean, there's Fred G.
Sanford and the G stands for Garfield,

603
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.199
I mean Sherman Hemsley, you know, George Jefferson. Of course, there's

604
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:52.599
Gilligan, Fred Flintstone. But comedy, Carol O'Connor man, he was on

605
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.880
the family, he was he was
Archie bonker Man. And again it goes

606
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.199
back to Norman Lair. What am
I missing here? Seven? One three,

607
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:00.920
two, one two, five,
nine to five. Oh yeah,

608
00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:05.159
we can reminisce on seven because this
is a pop culture radio program. You

609
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:07.239
know, sometimes I would rather talk
about all eighties music or all television shows

610
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.039
from the seventies and eighties, because
that is my sweet spot. And we

611
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:15.440
can talk about some technology too.
Here's some in tech that goes back.

612
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.679
Okay, let me throw in a
little media right here. Have you ever

613
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:24.039
has anybody ever seen It's a wonderful
life, Calum, you're nodding your head.

614
00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:29.679
I love Christmas. I don't know. I like Christmas movie. I

615
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:35.760
love Christmas movies. I love Christmas
cartoons. And again my age Charlie Brown,

616
00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:42.679
Christmas, Rudolph, the Year without
a Santa Claus got the Heat miser

617
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:50.800
thing, and then obviously we've got
Christmas Vacation. I have never seen It's

618
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:55.480
a wonderful life. I don't know
why. Obviously came out way before I

619
00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:59.719
was born. It's black and white
whatever. Anyway, follow me here,

620
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:06.440
people, this is the tech technology
spin over here, Jimmy Stewart, Jeremmery.

621
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:08.440
I can't even do a jimmery start. And the only reason I know

622
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:13.119
what Jimmy Stuart sounds like is because
I think Dana Carvey did a Jimmy Stewart

623
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:17.440
impression on Saturday Night Live. Jimmy
Stewart died in nineteen ninety seven. There

624
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:22.199
is a there's an app, a
meditation app. It's pretty popular now.

625
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:30.280
It's called Calm. Anybody. Anybody
use Calm. Calm. They they have

626
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:32.400
like noises. I think that I
don't even know what that. I think

627
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:36.119
they've met. I've never used it, but it's got it's got like waterfalls

628
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.239
white noise. But it's also got
people talking and reading books and doing that.

629
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:49.559
Calm has just come out with a
sleep story and it uses an artificially

630
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:57.840
intelligenced generated voice of the late Jimmy
Stewart. So there's a It's a Wonderful

631
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.519
Wife, It's a Wonderful life sleep
store that will calm and put you to

632
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:07.800
bed. And they used AI to
duplicate Jimmy Stewart, is that freaky deek

633
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.360
hear what people you wanted to know? Why the writer's strike, the actor

634
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.719
strike went on so long earlier this
year. This is case in point.

635
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:23.639
Who's getting the royalties that Jimmy Stuart's
family, I hope so his trust.

636
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.599
This is why there was the the
artists strike and the writer's strike. AI

637
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:36.960
is a scary thing. I have
not heard this. Oh, by the

638
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:39.840
way it reached calm. To its
credit, it received the express consent of

639
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:44.920
Jimmy Stuart's family and a state to
move forward with the project before they actually

640
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.639
did it. That that should seem
like a given considering the actors not around

641
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:58.079
the verbalized whether he wants his voice
used to put people to sleep, But

642
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:00.159
in this era, it's becoming crystal
clear. That's how keen studios are to

643
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:07.639
lock actors into deals meant to turn
their digital likenesses into everlasting revenue streams.

644
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.679
You're gonna download this thing? Calm
tell you what? I need to calm

645
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:16.400
down right now, especially after I
go get my advanced body scan. Thought

646
00:45:16.400 --> 00:45:20.320
that would be interesting seven one,
three, two, nine five. Oh,

647
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.760
when we come back, did you
hear who's the Time Magazine's person of

648
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:28.840
the year. Take one guess and
I will tell you the top twenty five

649
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.920
Wikipedia articles of twenty twenty three.
I like Wikipedia. I use Wikipedia.

650
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.760
Can't one hundred percent believe anything on
Wikipedia because anybody can go change it if

651
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.239
you want to, Like someone can
say like I'm running for you know,

652
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.280
vice President United Day or or the
State of Texas governor. Hey, you

653
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:50.760
can make stuff up. I actually
believe it. Top twenty five Wikipedia articles

654
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:52.280
twenty twenty three. I guarantee you
probably can't guess what number one is.

655
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.679
All that coming up as we just
passed the halfway to half the hour market,

656
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:04.480
I'm a high tech tax and shizz
out back at it. It is

657
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:08.800
m G the H two T y
tech text or in the second hour coming

658
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.920
up to have a little rum talk. Who's Thursday? Man? Give you

659
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:16.679
some ideas of gift giving, especially
uh rum don't sleep on rum man.

660
00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:21.320
Especially this Papa is pillar rum that
I'm about to talk about. It's good

661
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:27.039
stuff. How many people give wine
for gifts? I mean it's just they

662
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:31.559
make wine specific wine bags. I
don't drink wine, but I have bottles

663
00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:35.280
of people give me bottles of wine. I haven't even mentioned regifting. I

664
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.000
used to do entire segments of regifting. I already did my gift card stick.

665
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:40.239
I'm fine with gift cards. People
want to give me a gift card,

666
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:45.599
give me a gift card. I
don't drink wine, but people still

667
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:47.880
give me wine. I mean,
I guess they don't know me. You

668
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:52.079
kind of have to know your audience. You know. I'm very nice about

669
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.840
it because anytime somebody walks in or
somebody walks up to me about give me

670
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:58.960
something, and I see a wine
bottle, I'm thinking, please, please,

671
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:01.079
please be a bottle of rum,
please be rummer bourbon. And then

672
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:07.119
I open up. It's a bottle
of like Cabernet savigon blanc. I don't

673
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.840
know what. I don't know what
it is. And then my next thing

674
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:13.880
in my mind is like, well, good, I gotta I can regift

675
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:19.119
something right now. So we're talking
gifts in whatever. So more than happy

676
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.800
to you to give you some ideas. Give it. Give me a topic.

677
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.920
I've been through, travel gift ideas, kid gift ideas, tech gift

678
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:30.559
ideas. UH. The football ticket
nat AT National Championship Longhorn Game Bowl ticket

679
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:38.519
ideas seven one three Guess who Calum
Calum over here? Who's h point and

680
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.559
producer and putting the show together?
Uh? Any idea? Who the Time

681
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:47.480
magazine pick of the year. Time
Magazine's Person of the Year used to be

682
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:52.320
a massive thing when Time Magazine actually
was owned by Time Life. It is

683
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:57.280
now not owned by Time Life,
even though they think it is some sports

684
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:01.119
illustrated like third party Crapola company.
He owns Time, but they still they

685
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:07.360
sell magazines. But the Person of
the Year was It's interesting because it wasn't

686
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:12.320
the most popular person. It was
the person and I used to get every

687
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:16.760
my grandparents every day for the holidays. Every year for the holidays, I

688
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:21.599
got an annual subscription to Time Magazine. I loved it. It's the only

689
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.360
way I kept up with what was
going on in the world, and I

690
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.559
always look forward to that December issue
Person of the Year and the Person of

691
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:31.199
the Year was chosen by the editors
of Time Magazine by the person who has

692
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:37.400
changed the news that year, for
better or worse. It's exactly why Hitler

693
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:44.800
Stalin they were persons of the year. Nowadays there are here to sell magazines,

694
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.000
so the finalists this year were actually
put it this way. Last year

695
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:58.840
was the Ukrainian president Zelensky. Year
before that, it was Elon Musk calamany

696
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.559
any clue? Yep, you got
it. I didn't have to give you

697
00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:07.559
ten seconds, buddy, folks.
The person of the Year twenty twenty three

698
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:15.960
e Taylor Swift. You see,
the editors weren't just trying to adulate the

699
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:22.199
pop star so they could snag some
limited edition eras tour tickets or popcorn.

700
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:24.599
No. No, And I will
say this, and I'm not making fun

701
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:29.840
of Taylor Swift, because yes,
I am jealous. Her contributions to twenty

702
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.519
twenty three were. They were pretty
monumental. They seriously were. The Fed,

703
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:38.639
the Federal The Fed himself gave her
a shout out for boosting the US

704
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:45.840
economy this summer because the hotel booking
surrounding her contract dates. I'm not kidding

705
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:51.119
you. The Arass Tour expected to
become the first concert tour ever to gross

706
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:58.039
over a billion dollars. Swift herself
became a billionaire this year. She came

707
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:01.639
out with a movie in what November. It helped MC smash its previous record

708
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:07.519
for ticket sales revenue in a single
day. And she doesn't even have to

709
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:13.119
sing. She shows up at football
games and viewership rises when she goes to

710
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:20.760
a Kansas City Chiefs game with her
alleged boyfriend Travis Kelcey. I'd love to

711
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:22.840
be in a How would you like
to have a dinner party with the past

712
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:29.599
recipients of Time Magazines Persons of the
Year, Taylor Swift, Media, Elon

713
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.000
Musk and here's Ukrainian President Zelenski.
What do you want to talk about?

714
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:37.679
What do you want to talk about? Times have changed? All right?

715
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:45.000
So here's my shift to Wikipedia.
I like Wikipedia to smach night chu just

716
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:49.199
Wikipedia. Every December, at the
end of the year, Google always puts

717
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:52.840
out its most search rankings? What
have we search foremost? Wikipedia actually puts

718
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.679
out it's articles of the top twenty
five, the top whatever articles that people

719
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.440
have looked for. Callum will play
it again. What do you think the

720
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.880
number one most searched article on Wikipedia
is? What topic? Whatever? No,

721
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:08.559
it is not Taylor Swift. Taylor
Swift comes in at number twelve.

722
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:17.760
Numerow twelve. That's Taylor Swift.
You want to let's see here? I

723
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:20.800
mean, I guess I can go
to the top ten. Scot Matthew Perry

724
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.880
number seventeen. But actually Matthew Perry
has something to do with number two.

725
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:29.280
I'll give you number two, number
two most searched Wikipedia article this year,

726
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:35.639
deaths. In twenty twenty three,
forty two million people look for death They

727
00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:38.920
typed in deaths in twenty twenty three. That said, Matthew Perry. By

728
00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:45.639
the way, when the oscars roll
its in Memoriam, whenever the oscars are

729
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.400
in March, who's gonna get the
hammer slot? Matthew Perry may be up

730
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.760
there. I mean, I know
we still got three or four months to

731
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.719
put to for I hate saying this
is Mary Morby, but Matthew Perry in

732
00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:00.960
terms of people who in movies,
in movies, and he's been in movies

733
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.519
the last I call it the hammer
slot, the last slot before everybody collapsed

734
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:09.960
and they go to commercial. Let's
say number three search the twenty twenty three

735
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:14.360
Cricket World Cup. You see,
this is why it's called the world Wide

736
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.480
Web. We don't know what cricket
is in the United States, but it's

737
00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:22.840
the third most search Wikipedia article of
twenty twenty three Indian Premier League. I'm

738
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:29.239
guessing that has to do with cricket. That's number four, Number five Oppenheimer

739
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:38.039
the film A film I did not
see Oppenheimer himself, Jay Robert Oppenheimer.

740
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:47.079
The seventh most searched Wikipedia article Barbie, You say Barbie the film thirteenth most

741
00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:52.960
watched, most searched Wikipedia article of
this year. So it's Taylor Swift twelve

742
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:57.880
comes in just ahead of Barbie.
You got Christian Ronaldo, Lionel Messi,

743
00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.880
Premier Leagues. We've got a lot
of soccer. Elon Musk is up there

744
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:04.880
too in a few movies, Garden, the Galaxy, Volium three. So

745
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:09.519
not that it doesn't matter one way
or the other, but I'm just thinking,

746
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:15.599
this is what we look at.
Notice I didn't find Middle East Gaza

747
00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:21.239
strip a Moas Israel. No,
it's Taylor Swift, Barbie and the last

748
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.480
of US TV series. It's what
does this say about us? I have

749
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:28.880
no clue what it says about us. I will tell you what to say

750
00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:30.039
about you, especially if you were
a cocked up person. Coming up,

751
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:35.440
we're gonna have a nice chit chat
of what goes best in rum with a

752
00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:39.880
specific rum that is a partnered to
license with the Ernest Hemingway family. There's

753
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:43.840
Ernest Hemingway. Was he in the
top twenty five search? No? He

754
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:46.880
was. I am a Hemingway fan. I've never read a Hemingway what he

755
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:52.039
did some bullfighting. He sure knows
what the world is going on. Makes

756
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:53.800
a lot of rum. Stand By, We're gonna come back in as the

757
00:53:53.840 --> 00:54:00.199
High Tech Dexton Show. We are
back at it continued the long running A

758
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:05.360
High Tech Textan show. Michael Garfield
is the name. Open phone lines here

759
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.679
if you want to continue to talk
about what you want to get somebody for

760
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:13.079
the holiday season. I'm at seven
one three two one two five nine five.

761
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.199
Oh, that number has not changed
in the well over twenty years I

762
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:19.039
have been doing the show, now
heard all around the country, actually around

763
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:22.039
the world. Thank you for downloading
the iHeartRadio app. I had the ultimate

764
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.079
gift actually to give somebody. All
right, would you make make sure either're

765
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:30.599
over twenty one and make sure they're
a Spirit fan. You know, for

766
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.320
months right now, I've been talking
about Rum. You know, I love

767
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.239
all my spirits, but I've really
become a bigger fan of Rum because I've

768
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.480
I've a number one I found a
phenomenal Rum brand. But now I've been

769
00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:45.800
playing around with some cocktails. It's
called papas PLR P I L A R

770
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:51.679
Ernest Hemingway very associated with it,
and I've been helping a number of my

771
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:55.000
buddies in the restaurant industry stock it
in their bars, uh in their restaurants.

772
00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:58.239
And so if you happen to go
up and see it, make sure

773
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:02.519
you pull that bottle down and you
asked for either a shoot straight or have

774
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:06.400
a cocktail. But people then ask
me, you know some stories? You

775
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:08.039
know because Papa Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway, which is his name is on the

776
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:10.599
bottle, you know, he's a
storyteller. You know what, I'm gonna

777
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:14.679
do one better. I'm actually gonna
go to the source to help me tell

778
00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:17.239
the story. Right now. Justin
Daniels, he's the Texas state manager for

779
00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:22.599
Papa's PLR brand. He is joining
me here for a few minutes, justin.

780
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:24.079
I see you brought into the studio. You brought your own cocktail over

781
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:29.119
here, which which very tale of
Papa's is your favorite. I know that's

782
00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:31.119
a tough one, like picking your
favorite kid. Oh, I hear you.

783
00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:37.880
They're all fantastic. My I really
enjoy the finish dark rooms, the

784
00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:43.320
sherry finish and the rye whiskey finish
RUMs are are my favorites, and I'm

785
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:46.280
I often say my favorite mixer is
ice. You know, I just like

786
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:51.480
I like my room with a big
piece of ice and and sipping on it,

787
00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:53.480
maybe with a nice cigar. And
you're ready to go. Man,

788
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:59.199
you've got a good point over there, especially when you talk about sherry finished

789
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:02.039
and rye finished. You know,
people those words are that description is really

790
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:06.920
not associated a lot with rom.
You just think of ram as it is

791
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:08.559
it is white ram or is it
dark Rom? And then but this this

792
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:12.960
is a whole new ball game.
But let's let's start at the beginning.

793
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:17.760
Papa's pillar it Key West and the
founder and the distiller give us the top

794
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:21.639
level story of how it even started
as a brand and how it was made.

795
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:29.039
Absolutely so it is a collaboration between
the Hemingway family uh and and one

796
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.039
of the creators of Angels M V
Bourbon, a guy named Steve Groth.

797
00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:38.159
And Uh, this is a Papa
is Hemingway's nickname Pilar was the name of

798
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:43.119
his beloved both that he traveled all
around the Caribbean in and so that's where

799
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:49.199
the name comes from. Uh.
The the collaboration between the Roth family and

800
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:54.480
the Hemingway family has been fantastic and
uh, it's it's produced Papa's Pillar Rum.

801
00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:59.119
And we also have a sister brand
that is a whiskey called Hemingway Rye.

802
00:56:59.199 --> 00:57:01.360
But Papa's Law Rum is uh,
I mean, it's it's it's the

803
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:07.440
stuff I've When I was approached by
this company to come on board, I

804
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:10.880
was ecstatic when I tried the juice. It is, it is a fantastic

805
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:15.159
rum. But talk about the distilling
process, you know, you know I

806
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.960
I have been to Bourbon distilleries and
I've seen how vodka has quickly made.

807
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:22.400
What is the process, where is
it done? And there's a long time

808
00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:28.400
master distiller who's involved in this?
Correct? Yeah? So so the the

809
00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.800
distillation of rum, so rum whiskey, like you mentioned bourbon and things,

810
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:38.199
those are made from a combination of
grains, usually corn rye, malted barley,

811
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:44.920
sometimes wheat, whereas rum is actually
made from distilled sugarcane. And we

812
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:49.559
source globally. We source from the
Caribbean, uh, some South American,

813
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:55.119
some Central American. And what we
do is when the distillation is finished and

814
00:57:55.280 --> 00:58:00.480
the blend is done, we rest
it in a combin nation of bourbon barrels.

815
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:05.960
Spanish Oloso sherry casks and in the
case of the dark Room, the

816
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:12.440
port wine casks also, And so
with the blend and the different aging and

817
00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:16.440
the different casks, you get a
flavor that you really just can't find in

818
00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:20.760
any other rum that's out there right
now. No, I absolutely agree.

819
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:24.000
As we're talking to Justin Daniels,
Justin is with Papa's p lar. Certainly.

820
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:28.519
I luckily I have a few cases
on hand, and so if any

821
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:30.360
of my clients or family are listening
and guess what I just blew the surprise,

822
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.119
that's what they're getting for the holiday
season. It makes a great gift

823
00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:37.480
as well as some nice things to
sip on, especially with your favorite way

824
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:39.800
to do it, Justin with that
one rock, one big ice ball.

825
00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:43.960
One of the most unique things when
you see the sitting on a shelf behind

826
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:45.800
a restaurant or certainly in your favorite
liquor store, it's the shape of the

827
00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:51.119
bottle. I noticed it right off
because as an eagle scalp and that that

828
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:53.239
I am. It looks like a
canteen. And there's a story behind that

829
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:58.559
canteen. The shape of the bottle, that's absolutely correct. So the bottle

830
00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:01.679
is fashioned after a war World War
Two Army Canteam, and that is because

831
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:07.320
Hemingway served in w W one and
two. And then there's several different points

832
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:12.039
on the bottle itself. We have
a compass on the top just kind of

833
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:17.920
denoting the traveling aspect of Hemingway.
There's also a rooster on the bottle,

834
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:22.719
which if you've been down to Key
West, roosters and chickens are protected down

835
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:24.159
there, so they're running all over
the place in and out of restaurants,

836
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:29.679
So that's kind of a little symbol
of Key West forests. There's pin quills,

837
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:32.679
and also on the sides of the
bottles you have just the full process.

838
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.840
It tells you where we're source it
from and what we're aging. So

839
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:39.000
a lot a lot of transparency with
our process right on the bottle you talked

840
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:43.119
about before, there's I want to
get into the specific you know that.

841
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.719
I think there's the key for vera
tells and I'm gonna use that word.

842
00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:49.920
We talked about the rye finished the
sharey finish. But you also have to

843
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.960
blonde and dark for those of you, For those people maybe are not rum

844
00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.840
aficionados, maybe they want to dip
the toe in the water. Where do

845
00:59:55.920 --> 01:00:00.920
you tell them to start which one, sure, I'm I mean I would

846
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.559
say it just depends on what you
like. You know, a lot of

847
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.400
people like the lighter rum, some
people like the darker rooms, and so

848
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:12.639
we have something for everybody. Are
our blonde rum is a great way to

849
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:15.440
start. That's a great one for
if you're gonna mix with some cocktails,

850
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:21.679
like a nice peanut Colado or a
reef runner. That blonde rum. So

851
01:00:21.760 --> 01:00:23.719
that's something kind of in between.
It's not exactly a white room, it's

852
01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:27.639
not a dark room. It's something
in between. We created that category.

853
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.440
It's the first ever blonde rum.
It's very similar to RUMs that was enjoyed

854
01:00:31.480 --> 01:00:36.440
by Hemingway in the thirties and forties
in Cuba. It's it's an eighty four

855
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:38.880
proof rum, a blend of six
different RUMs that we source globally. Like

856
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:43.599
I mentioned, I mean, you're
gonna get just notes of real bright citrus,

857
01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:49.119
You're gonna get fresh butterscotch, you're
gonna get floral notes. It almost

858
01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:52.760
has like a creamy buttery mouthfeel.
It's fantatic. All kinds of accolades and

859
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:58.840
awards we've won with this thing.
It's a fantastic one and then you then

860
01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:01.679
you move onto your dark room.
You know it's it's you get some amazing

861
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:06.320
bourbon notes there. That one's eighty
six proof. It's a little overproof.

862
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.480
It's a blend of nine different RUMs
that, like I said, we source

863
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:12.719
globally. With that one. You're
gonna get kind of notes of dark chocolate.

864
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.119
You're gonna get some rich maple.
But then you're gonna get things you're

865
01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:19.280
not used to. You're gonna get
some candied orange, you know, maybe

866
01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:22.760
a little bit of ripe fig a
lot of accolades with that one as well,

867
01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.320
double gold, best age room,
all kinds of stuff. No,

868
01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:28.960
it's good, it's funny. I
make a joke, you never forget your

869
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.280
first blonde if you want to start
there, and then you go and then

870
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:37.199
dark. You've also got the sherry
finish and the rye finish. The first

871
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.159
sip I ever had, I think
was the was the sherry finish. It.

872
01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:44.320
You know, you ef you actually
even have a single cask offering over

873
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.559
there too. But what it is, it's in correct me if I'm wrong.

874
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:50.280
You've got this beautiful rum, but
you finish it in that ol roso

875
01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:54.320
sheery cask and so that brings out
the more flavors, a little notes of

876
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.880
and I tasted a little bit more
spice. Was it toffee or something like

877
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.280
that. I don't know how you
describe, but that thing. I dare

878
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:05.559
anybody that you better not put anything
in that that goes. You better sip

879
01:02:05.639 --> 01:02:08.559
that with either alone or with an
ice cube. That thing's killer one hundred

880
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:13.239
percent. It's fantastic. Yeah,
you mentioned toffee. I mean they're they're

881
01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:16.360
the Oulosa sherry cast. I mean
in our you know, the room already

882
01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:21.719
sees some sherry uh in the initial
blend, but then we take the entire

883
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:23.559
blend and we finish it in the
sherry cast. So yeah, it does

884
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:29.920
give little notes of toffee, some
spice, some toasted oak and uh.

885
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:32.440
And you you know, uh,
I I love it, as I said,

886
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.280
my favorite mixer's ice. I love
it on ice. But I will

887
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:39.480
tell you that it also makes a
hell of an old fashion I mean just

888
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:44.719
delicious. So I mean, and
and any of your kind of whiskey centric

889
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:49.440
cocktails like a Manhattan or or an
old Fashion, this is gonna slide in

890
01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:53.679
there beautifully and and give you flavor
profiles you you wouldn't expect from those cocktails.

891
01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:57.440
Yeah, and that's what I did
right there. You know, little

892
01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:00.639
tips like this because listen, as
an old fashion we all take us bourbon

893
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:02.079
bourbon bourbon, maybe a little Rye
or something like that. But why not

894
01:03:02.239 --> 01:03:05.519
open it up, you know,
you know, look outside the lines,

895
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.280
go with something like Papa's Pillar rum
to put it in there. It's awesome.

896
01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:13.119
And one more you also have one
called the Rye Finish. That's something

897
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:17.039
super special. What's that? Absolutely
that's our most recent offering, so kind

898
01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:22.159
of kind of similar to the Sherry
Finish in that we take our dark room

899
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:25.639
and once the blend is done,
we finish it in a Rye whiskey barrel.

900
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:30.679
I kind of mentioned we have a
sister brand, Hemingway Rye. We're

901
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:35.880
utilizing a Rye whiskey barrel which is
going to give notes of kind of vanilla

902
01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:39.079
nuanced spices, maybe a little bit
of roasted coffee. And that one has

903
01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:45.239
also got some fantastic accolades. The
Best New Expression in twenty three Best Age

904
01:03:45.360 --> 01:03:51.000
Rum. We're seeing fantastic accolades with
this one. And this is really your

905
01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:55.519
whiskey drinker's room, So highly recommend
this one for Christmas as well. One

906
01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:59.079
more question, I'll get you out
of here on this. One of the

907
01:03:59.199 --> 01:04:02.079
things that I absolutely continue to love
and respect what Papas Pilar is doing.

908
01:04:02.559 --> 01:04:06.400
It's there's a there's a conservation aspect
of it. And I know everything starts

909
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:10.639
down there in Key West. Always
a lot of you know, conservatory stuff

910
01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:15.639
going on. What's the collaboration with
the Hemingway family is doing so yeah,

911
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:19.519
I mean Hemingway was a huge conservationist, you know, back before people were

912
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:24.599
conservationists. And in that spirit,
the Hemingway family and the brand, we've

913
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:30.400
contributed millions of dollars to causes that
advanced literacy, water conservation, really ocean

914
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:35.639
conservation. You know, we we've
it's something that is very important to our

915
01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:40.239
brand and very important to our company. It is important. It's just you

916
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:44.000
know, obviously if the taste alone
is enough, is not enough, There's

917
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:45.519
there's something about that that goes in
your back of mind, is absolutely worth

918
01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:50.000
checking out. Papa is a p
LR P I L A R. Absolutely.

919
01:04:50.639 --> 01:04:53.960
You know, the bottle fits in
a stocking people if it's in a

920
01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:57.440
box, and uh, just make
sure you walk up to your favorite restaurant.

921
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:01.840
I know specifically we've got down in
Texas City at Lago Bar, at

922
01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:06.159

Capitol Grill, in the in the Gallery

923
01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:10.719
area, So you're doing your job

stores around town are going to have
it as well, so plenty of places

927
01:05:25.519 --> 01:05:28.280
to pick it up for a stocking
stuffer. Well, good listen, I

928

to get out of here and have
some more popas PLR rough US Coins Jewelry

953
01:06:57.639 --> 01:06:59.760
dot com. You don't even need
to be in Houston. You can buy

954
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:03.960
things online. They have a sports
trading cards, memborabilia. They got a

955
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:09.119
new Mike Tyson coin which is actually
legal tender. Mike Tyson was in town

956
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:14.039
last week. There were with the
US coins and Jordy guys just autographing some

957
01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:17.280
things. It's pretty cool. So
we dove like our partners. We thank

958
01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:23.639
them keeping this radio show free as
it should. What are the things?

959
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:27.880
Oh this this came into mind now
my son is traveling. My oldest son

960
01:07:27.960 --> 01:07:30.079
is traveling right now, and he
is in a very very very far away

961
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:35.000
country right now, and we are
keeping up with him through what's app.

962
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:41.239
I like what's app. WhatsApp does
videos, and WhatsApp is like end to

963
01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:45.800
end encrypted unlike some of the other
chat apps. And then whatever, and

964
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:48.519
I'll get to another story on Facebook
about this. But as long as you're

965
01:07:48.559 --> 01:07:53.159
in you have some sort of service, be it Wi Fi, be it

966
01:07:53.239 --> 01:07:58.519
sell or something. I mean,
what's happened is a onedle thing. But

967
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:00.920
sometimes and iPhone you maybe you'll see
this. If you've ever tried to send

968
01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:10.199
things pictures of videos on WhatsApp,
they compress them quite largely and they don't

969
01:08:10.320 --> 01:08:15.400
turn out as they should look in
because everything is too compressed. Well breaking

970
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:21.640
news. WhatsApp is currently rolling out
a new update for iOS users that lets

971
01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:28.920
you I call you people share photos
and videos on WhatsApp in their original quality

972
01:08:29.199 --> 01:08:34.039
with no compression. Look at that. I mean they've been What's app has

973
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:39.640
pretty been notorious for low quality media
transfers, so it's a nice change,

974
01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:45.279
I'll tell you that. So the
secret is the media file. I mean,

975
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:48.359
the media files aren't compressed at all, but this update treats media as

976
01:08:48.439 --> 01:08:54.159
standard data files. So when you
send a file, they're not transformed into

977
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:58.199
previews for the chat window, but
the recipient can click to view them.

978
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:00.960
So you're still gonna be able to
send me the old fashioned way if losing

979
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:06.039
the chat window preview themed thumbnails is
a bridge too far. Okay, this

980
01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:10.720
is not automatic. You do have
to consciously decide to send an uncompressed image

981
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:14.800
or video. There's you have to
click the plus icon to transfer a document.

982
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:17.880
Go ahead and try it right now. It's been a big year for

983
01:09:17.960 --> 01:09:23.279
WhatsApp because they've been trying out a
lot of new features. There was a

984
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:29.039
dedicated mac Macintosh app back in August, they had video calling capabilities I think

985
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:31.439
from up to eight people. They
had a Windows client earlier in the year,

986
01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:38.079
so they're they're actually doing a pretty
good job. Encryption is a big

987
01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:41.319
thing. Encryption means well, hopefully
nobody's gonna see or read what's going on.

988
01:09:42.199 --> 01:09:45.000
Facebook has always had an issue about
that, and that's why even though

989
01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:50.600
WhatsApp is owned by by Meta,
which is also on Facebook Facebook Messenger,

990
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:57.359
which I actually use semi often there, it's not all encrypted. Wait a

991
01:09:57.520 --> 01:10:03.239
minute, more breaking nose. According
to mister Zuckerberg, Facebook Messenger is going

992
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:09.920
to become fully encrypted. They're rolling
out a default end to end encryption for

993
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:15.520
personal messages and calls. They just
said this earlier this week. It's even

994
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:20.560
going to extend to Instagram at a
date to be determined. That's a pretty

995
01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:25.319
big win for privacy advocates because they've
been urging tech companies to adopt this practice

996
01:10:25.359 --> 01:10:31.199
to protect consumers. I don't know
why they haven't done it before. End

997
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:33.119
to end is big, so you
really want to check this. So right

998
01:10:33.159 --> 01:10:40.680
now WhatsApp has it, Facebook Messenger
coming sin and this is a way.

999
01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:45.439
And again I'm android guy, and
I still get the business from all my

1000
01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:48.720
people. Because I'm a green daughter, not a blue daughter. You can't

1001
01:10:49.279 --> 01:10:55.199
use you can't use FaceTime, Well
no, I can't use face Time per

1002
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:59.640
se. But I also but I
could easily do a video chat with anybody,

1003
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:03.199
any body by using WhatsApp or even
Facebook Messenger, which is the video

1004
01:11:03.279 --> 01:11:06.479
app. I could skype, I
could zoom, I could do a lot

1005
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:10.560
of stuff. Is it as easy
as clicking on facet app? Well,

1006
01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:13.560
what's apped is almost as easy as
FaceTime. It's an app. You click

1007
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:15.479
on a person, you click the
video button and boom, you're there.

1008
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:20.399
I do it with my I son
all the time because he's got an iPhone.

1009
01:11:21.680 --> 01:11:25.039
Earlier this, I mean last Thursday
night, were lighting the candles.

1010
01:11:25.079 --> 01:11:28.239
Honaka, Hey, what's going on? We're video We're looking at each other.

1011
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:32.800
I'm Android, he's iPhone, Ebity, Ivory, living in perfect harmony.

1012
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:39.319
It works. The world's a small
place, people, and especially next

1013
01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:42.800
year, as I said, if
Apple is gonna open up their I message

1014
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:45.720
to make everybody happen, even on
Android and again the news I told you

1015
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:49.439
last hour. If you can't wait, there is an app that you could

1016
01:11:49.479 --> 01:11:57.279
download on the Android platform that it
simulates and actually lets you do I messages

1017
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:00.359
on an Android platform. There's a
seventh It's called Beeper Mini. Am I

1018
01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:04.600
in a Beeper Mini seven day free
trial? That think it's like about ninety

1019
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:06.439
nine a month. I haven't tried
it yet, but I heard it's supposed

1020
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:12.640
to be great. No more green, no more green dots, no more

1021
01:12:12.680 --> 01:12:15.199
ostracize. I am so ostracized it's
not even funny. Oh my goodness.

1022
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:18.880
Let's see. Well what's Michael driving
this week? I have been driving so

1023
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:23.720
many vehicles. I have any been
updating this. I have reviews on my

1024
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:27.399
podcast and actually on high Tech Texan. Did you know that there is a

1025
01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:31.079
Toyota Grand Highlander. The Toyota Highlander
has been around for a long time.

1026
01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:35.680
There's a Grand Highlander. This baby
is a three row, massive, big

1027
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:41.399
old suv. It starts at about
forty three thousand dollars. There's a hybrid

1028
01:12:41.399 --> 01:12:45.359
about forty four thousand dollars. Drove
around that and that that was really really

1029
01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:47.359
cool. You know my thoughts on
electric cars? Am I even getting into

1030
01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.399
that? But if you want to, I do review a ton of cars

1031
01:12:50.439 --> 01:12:55.840
because I am a member of the
Texas Auto Writers Association and they are it's

1032
01:12:56.279 --> 01:12:58.960
it's I'm honored to I'll be able
each week to get a number of different

1033
01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:02.720
cars. Next week, I think
I'm gonna a Broncos Sport and who knows

1034
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:06.279
who a super Ro so who knows
what else is I'm gonna drive up inn

1035
01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:10.399
But I try to talk about what
you want, and I hope I did

1036
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:13.680
this time, and I hope gave
you some ideas for Honika gifts for Christmas

1037
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:15.479
gifts. We're gonna do it again
next week. In the meantime, you

1038
01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:20.279
can watch Great Day Houston CBS Channel
eleven this coming week because odds are I

1039
01:13:20.600 --> 01:13:27.000
am going to pop up a few
of those times Monday through Friday night in

1040
01:13:27.039 --> 01:13:29.399
the morning, So wake up early, people, and then always right here.

1041
01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:32.920
Thanks to the book, big folks
like Eddie Bartini to Brian Erickson to

1042
01:13:33.000 --> 01:13:36.399

in the carpeted offices down down the way

1043
01:13:36.439 --> 01:13:41.079
here and iHeart media here in Houston
keeps me on the air for well over

1044
01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:44.039
twenty three years. People, if
you want to get me something, I

1045
01:13:44.199 --> 01:13:46.119
like gift guards and I need tickets
to the Sugar Bowl and also the National

1046
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:49.199
Championship to see the Horns. Other
than that have a great, great rest

1047
01:13:49.239 --> 01:13:54.039
of weekend. My name is Michael
Garfield and guess what. My show is over
