is your high tech Texan three decades
helping you make magic with your gadgets.

5
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:42.439
You heard worldwide on the iHeartRadio add
now your high tech Texan, Michael Garfield.

6
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:50.600
Earthquakes eclipses. What's next? People? Judgment Day? Here it comes

7
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.960
and we're going to talk about it
right now. It is another edition of

8
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:57.200
a high Tech Texan show. Earthquakes
don't happen on the least coast at least

9
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.679
not a lot, and eclipse is
rarely cut through our great state Texas.

10
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.439
That is happening in a few days. Question, do you care? Where

11
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.079
will you be on Monday? And
are you gonna go see this thing?

12
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.079
Or in Houston where I'm based and
most of my listeners are based, not

13
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.799
of the total path of totality,
gonna get a little blockage? Are you

14
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.040
gonna roll up to Austin or Dallas
or somewhere to check it out? People?

15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.680
Calm down now, listen. I've
done this show for twenty two years

16
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.799
right now, and this is the
first time in the history of my show

17
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.359
here on tape earc. Nine fifty
am that an eclipse is causing some rucas

18
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.359
in atalas. The fact is,
I'm actually dedicating a few minutes of it

19
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.719
because you know, yes, there
is some technology to it. Obviously,

20
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.239
the soul or the atmosphere, the
way that the sun and the moon,

21
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.959
you know, pass over each other, creates a shadow of a doubt.

22
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.760
The funny thing to me is,
listen, and I don't want to make

23
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.079
light of this because this is a
once cident. I don't even want to

24
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:05.760
say a lifetime because generational. I
think another one's happening in twenty forty four,

25
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.960
so hopefully we or most of us
will be around, and so that'll

26
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:15.439
be the next generation. But here's
my thinking, And tell me if I'm

27
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.199
wrong, and I'd love to hear
from you. Seven one three two one

28
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.240
two five nine five. Oh,
it's a clipstock here on the high tech

29
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.080
textan show. What's the Big Delio? Because every single night of our lives,

30
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.439
for like nine hours ten hours,
we see darkness. The Earth rotates

31
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.240
away from the sun. We look
up and it's dark. So now it's

32
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.319
gonna happen for all of four minutes
at the I think, the longest length

33
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.840
in some places, and we're gonna
get darkness. And not only that,

34
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.159
the forecast for the weather across Texas
at least it ain't that good, you

35
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.719
know it? See it's I'll tell
you what. How come this doesn't happen

36
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.680
on Young Kipper Because on Young Kipper, with the holiest day of the Jewish

37
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.560
year, you're not supposed to eat
until sun down to sundown. I mean,

38
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.400
hell, at one in the afternoon
on Monday, we could have add

39
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.639
a snack and if we ate fast
at least, don't look You've heard it.

40
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.280
Don't look up at the sun.
And if you do, make sure

41
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.240
you have special glasses and listen.
This is not a joking matter at this

42
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.280
point. You're right. We are
not going to be used in the least

43
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.080
for most of my listening, God
is it. We're not going to be

44
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.960
in the total path. And so
if you do look up, there is

45
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.280
going to be a large bit of
the sun still showing. Don't look at

46
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.919
the sun, people, because retinas
are a good thing. Have some special

47
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.960
glasses and there are some special glasses
if you can find them. The more

48
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.199
I didn't really want to make anything
out of this. I don't know gently

49
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.240
where I am on Monday afternoons around
one o'clock, I'm gently at home.

50
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.439
Maybe I would go out and take
a look up with glasses. I'd make

51
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.960
a little pinhole camera like I did
when I was in boy Scouts of you

52
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.159
know, so I can, you
know, see the outline of the s

53
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.400
sun, and I actually can tell
you how to do that later the show.

54
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.360
However, if you are around your
television on Monday morning, I will

55
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.160
be reporting live from Space Center Houston. I will be there as a contributor

56
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.040
to Great Day Houston on CBS Channel
eleven. Space Center Houston, I believe,

57
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:28.519
is hosting some sort of a gathering, and if you want to feel

58
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.439
the spatial sense of something, I
believe you can go out there down in

59
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.040
clear Lake area. Shout out the
clear Lake come out. I will be

60
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.199
there from at nine in the morning
until ten in the morning before the actual

61
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.079
festivities happen with the sun, and
then the sun will disappear. If we

62
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.360
can even see the darn sun with
the clouds right around I think one o'clock

63
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.399
one thirty Central Time on Monday.
So I guess maybe I'm gonna make it

64
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.720
a little bigger deal than it is, because that's what we do in the

65
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.279
media. It's like, oh,
no, the hell is opening up.

66
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.639
Can you imagine that if we didn't
predict it, I mean, we're I

67
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.959
mean, listen, there's so many
beautiful, wonderful sciences, tistan engineers.

68
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:12.079
We know exactly to the second where
the sun is gonna be. We've seen

69
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:15.160
the map, how it cuts across
Texas and goes up to the northeast and

70
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.160
goes all the way through Maine on
Monday. We could predict it. Can

71
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:21.160
you imagine? La la, la, la la. We didn't know this

72
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.439
was happening, and all of a
sudden, at in the afternoon, the

73
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.959
freaking just it just goes dark.
I mean, you think you were thinking

74
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.319
of being invaded by something from Star
Wars or something. At some point.

75
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.160
It happened before I don't know,
let's go back sixty seven. Well,

76
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.079
I don't know, Copernicus or something. I guess he figured it out,

77
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.240
you know, way long ago.
But before that happened, It's like,

78
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.600
man, wait, what's going on? Why is it dark? Are you

79
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.360
going to freak out. There's listen, there's parties. My son is up

80
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.600
at Austin, and Austin is pretty
much in the path of totality. He

81
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.199
was invited to on a boat on
Lake Austin. They're having some part with

82
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.800
cocktails and everything like that. I
don't know if I that's kind of scary,

83
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.480
man, because don't you know,
the moon gets closer, the tides

84
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.639
rise, it's gonna be dark for
for a minute, all of a sudden,

85
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.680
and then you're out of the boat, you're drinking. Aw, what's

86
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.959
the side of Who has made T
shirts for this thing? I survived the

87
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.680
eclipse of twenty twenty four. Oh
my goodness. Anyway, I'll tell you

88
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.399
whatever the next a little while,
I'm gonna tell you how a son,

89
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.560
how the sun could burn a hole
in your eyeball. See that's that's a

90
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.399
good that's a good lead right there. As we say in the media industry,

91
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:39.240
how the sun can burn a hole
in your eyeball. There are specific

92
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.720
sunglasses you can use, actually you
should use. Don't use a regular sunglasses

93
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.480
because they do have to have a
certain standard. I will tell you what

94
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.720
standard that is and how they're made. And there's also some apps because you

95
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.279
know what, of course there is
of course there are some apps where you

96
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.360
actually can watch it predicted where to
get the glasses and what happy I will

97
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.680
talk about that in a number of
other things. Plus your phone calls.

98
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.639
Here already gave you the phone number
seven to one three two one two five

99
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.000
nine five vote. There are there
are there are buildings that there are freeways,

100
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.079
there there are entities companies that are
closing. My buddy up in Dallas,

101
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.879
he's a lawyer, sends me an
email the Dallas County buildings are going

102
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.439
to be closed on Monday. No, I'm not making fun of Dallas,

103
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.120
because I'm sure there's going to be
a lot of these across the country.

104
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.920
They're closing the people. It's four
freaking minutes of darkness. I have driven

105
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:41.399
in so much torrential rainstorms in my
life, probably certainly through a hurricane and

106
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.879
probably through a tornado. And then
it passes for four minutes. It's going

107
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.759
to be darkness, and buildings and
governments have to close. What is happening,

108
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.879
dogs and cats living together, total
chaos. And with that, we're

109
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:56.800
gonna take our first break of the
High Tech Texting Show. I am here

110
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.240
to entertain you. I'm not here
to scare you, but I'm just curre

111
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.240
giving the facts, ma'am, just
the facts. Michael Garfield is a bat.

112
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:09.920
It is the high Tech Texan Show. Perfect people. Now we're getting

113
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.959
eclipse jokes, which is fine.
We can we can joke about an eclipse

114
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.639
if there is a natural occurrence that
we can kind of have a little fun

115
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.000
with. Apparently it's the eclipse which
is coming up on Monday. Welcome back.

116
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.040
It is Michael Garfield. We are
called the High Tech Texan Show here

117
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.519
all across the country. And you
know what, my voice can't be heard

118
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.800
throughout the entire path of the eclipse
this coming Monday. You could download the

119
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.720
iHeartRadio app I won't be live.
Actually you can listen to the podcast recording

120
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.960
of this. Thank you so much, mister Callum. Where you do does

121
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.840
that every single week? You really
don't want to joke about hurricanes, which

122
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.399
we do have our fair share of
hurricanes here in the Gulf Coast area.

123
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.200
Read you which, by the way, I think I saw that the hurricane

124
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.039
predictor there was a press conference at
that happened I think last Thursday or so,

125
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.159
that it's going to be a little
bit more active this year? Is

126
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:05.240
that what they say every year?
Noah, the National Organs of Wind in

127
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.320
Space and what whover the heller is
they have to do that every year,

128
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.159
don't They have to say this season
is going to be a little bit more

129
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.480
active, cause you gotta be prepared. I'm all about preparedness, man,

130
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.759
I'm an Eagle Scout. Be prepared. That's the motto of the Boy Scouts.

131
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.000
Get your batteries, get your backups, get your everything. And I'll

132
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.559
talk about that the hurricane season,
which is coming up here not too long

133
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.240
right now. But you really don't
want to joke about hurricanes, absolutely do

134
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.799
not. I want to talk about
tornadoes. I am absolutely deathly afraid of

135
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:35.519
tornadoes. I was in a tornado. I was a young kid alone in

136
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:43.000
Dallas growing up. But not funny. Tsunamis not really good. But eclipses,

137
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.720
it's a natural thing. But you
could predict, you can see,

138
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.080
you could predict that. You predict
you know when an eclipse is coming.

139
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.879
We pretty much can predict hurricanes.
We kind of know where they're going.

140
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.200
We can make these spaghetti models.
So you I want to race yourself,

141
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.240
Effie. The tornadoes, you don't
know when the hell is going on.

142
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.440
And that's why tornadoes to me are
the scariest. Hey, it's a sunny

143
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.000
day, all of a sudden,
it's Texas. It starts getting cloudy five

144
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.759
o'clock in the afternoon, a little
humid in the year, all of a

145
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.879
sudden, and not in Houston,
but in Dallas we grew up. We

146
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.039
have these things called the tornado sirens, which is a very smart thing to

147
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.759
have. Houston just did and still
doesn't have their stuff together, but at

148
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.120
least they would give you a thirty
second warning when you're these sirens going off,

149
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.559
but you don't know when where they're
gonna hit. That's why to be

150
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.279
tornadoes are scary. Eclipses they're fun. We need to make it. We

151
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.120
need to make some T shirts talking
about the eclipse. There's apps out there.

152
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.320
Should you be having him? Who's
having an eclipse party? You imagine

153
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.840
if this was on a weekend,
that would be fun. But this is

154
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.879
a Monday. I already mentioned that
there are cities or counties that are closing

155
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.279
some of their buildings on the Dallas
County is closing a lot of their I

156
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.919
think all their building They're just closed
for business. School's closing. Who's having

157
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.360
a an eclipse watching party? And
how come I'm not invited? I will

158
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.679
bring I will bring the rum,
and I'm gonna bring dark rum. You

159
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.879
see what I did there. It's
gonna get dark for four minutes. I'll

160
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.519
bring the dark rum. You know
how to get old of me? Michael

161
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.720
at high tech Texan dot com,
Michael Grefield at iHeartMedia dot com. Let

162
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.440
me know better? Clear up about
tell you what? Because Monday night is

163
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.879
the National Championship. Who you got
the final four which actually tips off at

164
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.600
about two or three hours book the
sun continues to come back. Now,

165
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.000
I know the final four is in
Arizona. It's not that the eclipse is

166
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.279
not gonna affect that. But there's
a lot of things happening Monday. Very

167
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.000
busy, next week very busy.
If you want to find out what's going

168
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.559
on, let me give you some
apps. Oh it's a technology show.

169
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.960
I'm gonna give you some tech advice, right, Okay, NASA actually has

170
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.600
an app. You can find it
on all of your Apple stores, your

171
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.519
Google Plays. You can watch a
lot live Well, okay, I'm making

172
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.039
fun of it, and I understand. You can watch live streams of the

173
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.240
eclipse. You know how you watch
a live stream of the eclipse in Texas,

174
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.759
you'll look up and you sky people. But if you don't live in

175
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.320
the path, you actually can watch
the live stream. It also has latest

176
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.720
NASA images and news and information in
podcast everything that's pretty cool. There is

177
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.559
another App Store, pretty highly rated
app in the App Store, pretty highly

178
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.799
rated. It is called one Eclipse, Oh any one eclipse. It was

179
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.480
this is the year, let's see, according to the description, it key

180
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.879
features including a countdown timer if you
can't tell time, interactive eclipse map,

181
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:48.120
and an eclipse simulator. Here's an
eclipse simulator. Close your eyes, wait

182
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.039
till the sun goes down tonight,
and then look up. There's the eclipse

183
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.000
simulator. I am just ragging on
the eclipse. I think I'm kind of

184
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:03.399
making fun of people who are just
taking it so so seriously. Here here's

185
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:11.480
another another app. It's called Total
Solar Eclipse Innovative, developed by the Exploratorium.

186
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:18.360
It's a museum of science and tech
in San Francisco. It's got a

187
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.879
three point eight star rating and blah
blah blah, I don't even why do

188
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.759
I have no clue what the funny
thing is you download this and then you're

189
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.000
gonna delete it at two o'clock in
the afternoon Central time on Monday. If

190
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.919
you need this stuff, phone number
here is seven one three two one two

191
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.279
five nine five O the eclipse classes. We'll get off the eclipse here soon,

192
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:41.120
but it only happens once every generation. There is a there's a big

193
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.080
company who actually makes it. They're
not official, but there would have.

194
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:50.279
There's the several companies who makes the
official glasses that you're allowed to look up

195
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.519
at the side and just because you
have really cool ray bands or Maui gems,

196
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.679
which by the way, I'm I'm
surprised no company actually got into the

197
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.960
marketing of this, and if so, I'm kind of missing the thing.

198
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.200
You know, Oreo Cookie should have
it because Oreo Cookie kind of look you

199
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.360
know, it looks like a moon
because it's dark, you know, chalk

200
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.600
it on the outside. They should
take a bite out of it. That's

201
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.080
my prediction for what they're gonna do
on Monday. All right, some sunglass

202
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.799
companies should have hopped on here.
There's a company called American Paper Optics.

203
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.120
It's out of Tennessee, and they're
one of the few companies who make certified

204
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:31.480
authorized glasses. They say they're gonna
sell seventy five million pairs of eclipse glasses

205
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:39.320
this year, seventy five million pair
And where are you gonna get these things?

206
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:43.919
They sell online for twenty nine dollars
each, twenty nine freaking dollars each.

207
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.480
People, just make yourself, make
do it. Do it, Do

208
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.080
it yourself. Take a piece of
paper and take a little tiny pin,

209
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.200
a little tiny you know, just
like a needle and pin and poke a

210
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:00.720
hole in it. Stand with your
back to the sun. Hold the paper

211
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.399
out at arm's length and hold it
over. Go outside and hold it over

212
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:11.039
a flat surface, it concrete or
something. The sun is gonna shine through

213
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:20.679
that little hole in the paper and
reflect onto the concrete, and as the

214
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.200
solar eclips, as the moon moves
in pat and in front of the sun,

215
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.120
you're gonna be able to see the
solar clips move for that four minutes.

216
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.039
That's a way without even looking up. But there, I just saved

217
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.240
you twenty nine dollars. Anything else
I can do for you all for four

218
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.720
and a half minutes. The let
me give you the isl ISL. This

219
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.759
is the certification glasses. You have
to have an ISL logo and there is

220
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:52.000
a is one two three one two. That's the co prendit on the inside.

221
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.519
Don't fall for any counterfeit isl logo
sunglasses people, don't you do that.

222
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.000
My listeners are much smarter than that. I S one two three one

223
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.000
two. There you go, go
go beat your sunglasses. Anything else we

224
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.120
have to cover or make fun of
seven one three two, one two five

225
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.559
nine five to zero. The sun
can actually burn a hole in your eyeball.

226
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.559
I'm gonna get a quote here from
the National Journal. The sun is

227
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.120
the most powerful source of energy in
the solar system. It's the most energetic

228
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.919
object for light years in all directions. Even though I thought I was the

229
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:32.279
most energetic object in all light years. But that's okay. Uh. The

230
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.919
energy it expels so intense it can
actually burn holes in your vision. You

231
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.120
see what light enters our eyes the
lens of our eyes. It focuses light

232
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.240
to the retina, which is in
the back of the eye, and then

233
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.519
the retina chemical sensors pick up the
presence of light, transmitting the information to

234
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.799
the brain. Now, the retineck
can handle indirect sunlight. Indirect sunlight just

235
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.200
fine. But think of what happens
when you hold the magnifying glass up to

236
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.519
the sun. They can start a
fire. People, it's very intense.

237
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.159
Don't look up with the sun.
You know what? Actually we should get

238
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.519
how come I listen, where's the
eye doctor to the stars? Where's my

239
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.720
eye doctor? How come he's not
calling in seven, one, three,

240
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:15.599
two, nine, five? Oh
my good man, Alan Panzer, great

241
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.720
eye doctor. Actually should have had
him. How come I don't have a

242
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.200
producer on the show. We should
have set him up. We're gonna take

243
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.519
a break. Are we done?
Are we done with the sunglass and the

244
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.279
the eclipse? Happy Eclipse Day this
coming Monday, people courtesied me. All

245
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.920
right, Uh, I'm gonna stay
on NASA. All you people who have

246
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.319
worked are currently worked in engineering,
and all you rocket scientists down there,

247
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.480
I got a story for you.
We need a debate about this. Apparently

248
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:48.359
the White House is demanding that we
need to create a new time zone,

249
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:53.640
a lunar time zone, because we're
going to be going to the Moon doesn't

250
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.920
need its own time zone. And
we will debate the best time zone in

251
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.039
the world. And take a guess
who I'm going with? Right here on

252
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:10.920
the High Tech Taxi show at the
bottom of the first Hour of the High

253
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:14.279
Tech Text and show, Hey,
anybody, anybody gets some good sales on

254
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.680
Eastern Candy. You guys were so
were supposed to report of where the best

255
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:22.319
sales are from Eastern Candy, generally
on Monday, the day after Easter,

256
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.559
one of my favorite days of the
year, man, because that's when you

257
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:34.079
go for the leftover candy fifty percent
off. Maybe I'm I'm very bullish on

258
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:41.160
the Easter candy with deeper sales,
and I really don't move until we're seventy

259
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.799
percent or so. It's now,
it's now the week after, almost a

260
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.759
week after Easter. Anybody can report, And really, all I care about

261
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.599
is Reese's, the Reese's Eggs,
the Reeses, this and that. You

262
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.319
give me somebody call in seven one
three, two, one two, five

263
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.240
nine five. Oh, I'd love
to talk. I'd love to put you

264
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:02.160
on there. Don't be shut.
I need discounts on Eastern Candy. One

265
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.039
top should I a true story And
this is why I got into it.

266
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:12.200
I was I in college, or
I graduated college, and I moved in

267
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:15.079
to my parents' house again. Because
you know what, it's a kind of

268
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.559
a law you do that we don't
have a job, and I don't even

269
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.559
know if I had even had a
job, didn't have money, didn't have

270
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.240
a lot of money, but he
used to rolled around and I was really

271
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.079
into Cadbury cream egs. Do we
like Cadbury cream eggs? I think we

272
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:33.039
can agree we like Cadbury cream eggs. We do. So we had in

273
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:40.000
Dallas, I guess across Texas before
Walgreens and CVS were brand names, we

274
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.960
had a drug store called Ekerds.
Anyone remember Eckerds? And we had Skillerns

275
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.200
and I forget which one it was. And so I'm going back to the

276
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.279
late nineteen eighties and they had I
guess they had. They had Cadbury Eggs.

277
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:53.960
They had all their stuff on sale
for fifty percent off. But anyway,

278
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.119
it was there about another week.
So in a way, Cock dogged

279
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:03.000
me. I went in and I
went up to the manager and I asked

280
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.759
him, make up. They need
their shelf space back. They don't want

281
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.720
this candy left over here because it's
taken. You know, it's just just

282
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.440
taking valuable shelf space where they could
be putting something else to sell. So

283
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.880
I made them a deal. I
said, I'll buy every piece of Eastern

284
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:30.759
candy, especially all these Gadbury eggs
ten cents on the dollar. He thought

285
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.920
about it for like eight seconds.
He goes, deal. Literally, I

286
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.920
got a shop may have been two
shopping carts. I had enough Hadbury cream

287
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:44.039
eggs that if I melted this thing, I would have had a chocolate fountain

288
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.880
that would just that probably would go
for months and months and months. I

289
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.039
don't even know what I did.
I show up in my card, I

290
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.640
bring them back into my house.
I my parents like, what are you

291
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:59.559
doing? I said, I don't
know. It's such a deal. It's

292
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.799
such a deal, like I you
know, it's like I deal with Motts

293
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.799
after passover every year. So anyway, I thought, anybody who has a

294
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:08.039
left over at Easter candy, here's
what I would do right now. If

295
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.519
anybody any store right now has left
over Easter candy and you want to sell

296
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.759
it to me for like pennies on
the dollar or donate it, I I'm

297
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.519
serious, hand to gott. I
will come pick it up, and then

298
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:30.599
I will go donate it to UH
Shelter Kids Organization or something. I'm more

299
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.880
happy to do it because these kids
listen. You know how many people love

300
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:38.119
would love candy and kidds and I'll
pick it up. That's what I would

301
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.119
do for you. Yes, okaynighty, I will okay, I'll put my

302
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.319
hand in the bag and I'm gonna
have a snack or two. It's it's

303
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.880
that's it's commission. I'll sneak a
little chocolate peanut, but interaction. But

304
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.519
I'm I'm dump it all off.
I to uh to some needy organization.

305
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.920
Seven one two, I've dined five. Oh. That's how you're gonna get

306
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.720
to me? Is Michael Garfield.
This portion of our show, We're brought

307
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.200
to you by us Coins Jewelry.
Right there on Katie Freeway. I ten

308
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.480
at Foss. I was there last
Tuesday. I was talking to Matthew Duncan.

309
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.039
Matthew and his brother Kenny Duncan.
They run that their father started it.

310
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.599
He's still there, been there for
thirty years, so trusted. I

311
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.720
don't know what was going on.
It was it was Tuesday. I went

312
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.640
Tuesdays. It was the daft day
perpool deck. They were busy. It

313
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.160
was like none man and it was
you know, I always like going in

314
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.079
there. I love seeing the security
guards I'm friends with right now, very

315
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.000
safe people. They had one person
had a it was like a wagon.

316
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.039
It was like a foldable wagon,
and they're schlepping all of their nickels and

317
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.279
their pennies. And there they deal
with coins and they will give you,

318
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.279
they'll buy back your coins, they'll
evaluate if you have a coin collection.

319
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.519
That's how they really started. They
do so much more and more. They've

320
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:52.680
got a great jewelry counter, just
a ton of Rolexes. They're always willing

321
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.400
to buy your rolex and you're more
than happy to go in and buy their

322
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.839
rolex, going and trade your rolex
in. They've got great women's jewelry.

323
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.440
They've got some tennis bracelets, they
got trading cards. They've got a lot

324
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.440
of Texas memorabilia too. I like, uh, if you love the state

325
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.359
of Texas, you want to get
somebody really Texas silver, maybe one of

326
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:17.960
the original flags, maybe a frame
Constitution of Texas. Just it's great stuff.

327
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.039
Tell them I heard it on the
Michael Garfield High Tech Textan show.

328
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.839
But it is US coins and Jewelry
dot Com. You don't even need to

329
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.240
be in Houston, and you could
deal with them and trust them online.

330
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.799
There the folks, Uh, you
know how to get a hold of me.

331
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.440
We're talking. We've already been through
the eclipse stuff. Oh yeah,

332
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:40.519
hey NASA, I thought this is
a district. This kind of fascinates me

333
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:47.359
because I do I do like space
when we study this in science. I

334
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:51.759
guess all kids study this in science
at a young age. And one of

335
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.000
the first things you do you learn
about the planets. And since I have

336
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.640
been in school, we have lost
a planet. Pluto apparently is no longer

337
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.000
a planet, or maybe they reinstated. I don't know. I feel I

338
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.359
feel bad for Pluto, little little, tiny, little blue, little or

339
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:12.160
purple little planet out there. But
anyway, who made the was it the

340
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.799
dioramas? It just it's just one
of the things that you have to do.

341
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.680
You got to go to to Michael
Ws. You gotta go to a

342
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.359
hobby lobby. You gotta go a
shop. You gotta get the styropham balls.

343
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.519
You gotta get a big old mama
ball. You gotta paint it yellow

344
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.640
for the sun. And then you
hang them in like in a shoe box.

345
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.599
And then proportionally the sizes. You
got to put mercury. You gotta

346
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.759
put the you know, vnie you
got up Earth. You gotta put the

347
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.079
ju Jupiter's pig. And then you
gotta make some rings around Saturday. You

348
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.880
learn about space and we forget about
the moon because planets are the came then

349
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.799
there because you know, there's a
lot of planets have moons elimle bit,

350
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.200
they have multiple moons. We got
one moon. Moon is very important to

351
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.720
us because the Moon's about gravity,
it's about our tides, it's about everything.

352
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.279
Moon is so important that we as
a jeep Bolton, certainly as the

353
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.440
country United States, we had to
have a race to the moon. John

354
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.880
F. Kennedy, We've got to
better band of the moon. Why does

355
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:10.920
rice plate texas heavy? Yeah,
we've got to have a race a bit.

356
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.240
We as the United States, greatest
unch in the world. We uh,

357
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.440
we go to the Moon. I'm
not pulling the allegedly I was.

358
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.880
I was a little kid when it
happened. I was like four years old,

359
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:25.720
and then it was I just remember
seeing Walter Cronkite and crying the whole

360
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.000
thing. Obviously, this is what
I studied. The point is, I'm

361
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.799
talking about the moon right now.
Well, apparently we're gonna go back to

362
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.200
the Moon. We don't want to
go to any other planet, but we're

363
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.680
gonna go to the Moon again because
apparently we're gonna colonize the Moon. We're

364
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.880
gonna put air condition in the Moon. We're gonna do something in the Moon,

365
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.400
and not in real estate. But
if I was a realtor, I

366
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.720
tell you what I'd bide low right
now, I buy a few acres of

367
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.960
that Moon. Maybe next to a
crater, could be cool, could be

368
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:56.319
a good investment. Not sure,
But the point is, it's so important

369
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.480
that we're going back to the Moon. The White House has a little mandate

370
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:07.000
over here. The White House has
published a policy memo asking NASA to create

371
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:14.240
a new time standard for the Moon, and they want it by twenty twenty

372
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:22.640
six. Robbie will be called Coordinated
Lunar Time that it's going to establish an

373
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:30.319
official time reference to help guide future
louter missions. The US, China,

374
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.759
Japan, India, Russia all have
space business to the Moon, either planned

375
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:42.160
or completed. LASSA. It's not
the only ones trying. The European Space

376
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:49.119
Agency they're also trying to make a
time zone outside of Earth. Give of

377
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:59.079
the Moon's winter gravity, time moves
slightly faster up there, so the same

378
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.039
clock we have on Earth would move
at a different rate on the Moon.

379
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.759
Anybody see the movie Interstellar, Right, it's it did happens just like that.

380
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.640
We age faster and what have it? So can we as a we're

381
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.160
I have smart listeners out there.
I probably have some people who actually work

382
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.759
at NASA with NASA seven one three
two one two five nine five ozho try

383
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.400
to get in now, maybe a
little later show, can we come up

384
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.920
with something like this? What should
the time zone be? I say,

385
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:40.799
because NASA based in Houston, we
go with Central time Zone. Because let

386
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:44.440
me help you out. I have
traveled across this great country of ours for

387
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:48.720
a long time, and there is
no better time zone, an essential time

388
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:53.720
zone. And that is not even
a debate, not at don't even call

389
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.680
my phone number and tell me there
is other better time zone because the least

390
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.960
coast ah and ain't admant. I
ain't staying up to one in the morning

391
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.000
to watch the end of a freaking
sports game or the end of foul or

392
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:11.240
Camo. Nope. And then the
Mountain time zone, I didn't know what

393
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.039
the hell that is. I can't
figure that thing out now. I do

394
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:19.039
love me some West Coast I'm a
left coast guy, but they still work

395
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:23.799
kind of on the Eastern time zone. It's like how the news is our

396
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.880
news? Here are evening news six
o'clock, ten o'clock, so we grew

397
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.039
up with no, No, it's
seven and eleven o'clock. It's late.

398
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:36.480
Man, you missed a lot of
this stuff. Central. Who's with me?

399
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:38.720
The moon should be Central, Saandor's
time. Just just keep it that

400
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.880
way. Craziest time zone and I
need to verify this, and we're up

401
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:51.160
against the break. There is a
time zone that you know. Time zones

402
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:55.200
work on the hour, you know, and it's either it's East Coast,

403
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.720
it's Central. It's just it.
It is. There's a time zone that

404
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:02.480
works only half an hour. I
think I think that was there. It's

405
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:10.440
in St. John's to Canada or
Newfoundland. It's like the first place in

406
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:15.359
North America where sunlight reaches. And
I went there about seven years ago.

407
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.359
I am not kidding you. When
we come back, w' verify this the

408
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:26.440
time zone? Is it thirty minutes? It's like East Coast plus thirty minutes

409
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.839
is the time zone for that?
It's crazy. I really, the moon

410
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.119
does not need to jack with that. That was already. That's already hard

411
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.839
enough to figure out. Just stick
with Central time zone and that's it.

412
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:45.279
It's Michael Garfield. It's coming up
almost at noon Central time here in the

413
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.000
Houston area. But we're gonna be
back to finish up this first hour to

414
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:59.160
ideent DEXI show. Just cheffing and
verifying our track stash here at APRC Radio

415
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.519
actually now, and nobody does anything
from here. It's all me, my

416
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.079
crack staff and my Google has proven
to the fact that I remember that.

417
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:12.720
As we talk about time zones,
there is one active time zone with a

418
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:22.319
half hour offset from Universal Coordinated time. And indeed it is in Newfoundland,

419
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:30.119
in Canada. First place that light, that daylight that the sun hits in

420
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.039
North America, on the entire continent
of North America. I happened to be

421
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.039
there was about seven years ago,
and I could not believe it. You

422
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.880
had to set your watch not just
ahead to East coast time, but East

423
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.279
coast time plus half an hour plus
half an hour. It is the It's

424
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.240
the craziest thing we talk about this
because the apparently the Moon is getting its

425
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:55.799
own time zone. We're going to
the moon. People. What do I

426
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.039
do is that I want to find
a bank. It's gonna what's the mortgage

427
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:03.119
rate of getting a house right now
on the moon. A lot of space

428
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.240
that can get a ton of sunlight. You got one hell of a view.

429
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.599
Hope it that has air conditioning.
It genally is cold up there.

430
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:12.519
I don't know. Maybe time to
buy little real estate up at the moment,

431
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.759
because the moon's getting his own time
zone by twenty twenty six. This

432
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.799
is a uh I guess it's a
directive from the White House. So all

433
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:22.799
of you NASA beautiful people down in
clear Lake area, I know you're listening

434
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.160
to me. You love me,
you love the show. Hit me up

435
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.839
seven one three two one two five
nine five. Oh. If you can't

436
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:33.240
get through, you know how to
get me in the socials, high techs

437
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:37.079
and NA chi g h t e
c h t e x A N what's

438
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.799
the answer. I say, moon
just goes on Central Time because Central Time

439
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.200
is the home of NASA, and
it's the best freaking time zone, best

440
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.599
breaking time zone. And I certainly, i'd say to America, certainly,

441
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.640
i'd say it don't go to that
Greenwich crap. No, I don't want

442
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.279
to Meridian nah. Now, No, it's it's it's got to be Central

443
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.400
time Zone, because that's how we
do it. They do things there,

444
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.279
Uh, a few minutes to the
top of the hour. We'll just make

445
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:06.519
this relatively short segment. Bad news
for Disney Plus people. You know,

446
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:13.039
Netflix got smart with cracking down on
password sharing last year. I used to

447
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:19.319
actually, who didn't borrow and I
use the word borrow loosely somebody's Netflix password?

448
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.160
Oh? Sure, can I borrow? Yeah? Yeah, let's say

449
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:22.920
yeah. But Netflix said, you
know what, now, we're gonna come

450
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.920
up with the way that if you
don't you cannot share your password out of

451
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.279
home, We're going to force you
to buy a your own subscription. And

452
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.519
it worked. Man, Netflix gained
millions millions of new subscribers that ended last

453
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:40.839
year because they cracked down a password
share it slowly but surely, I'm going

454
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.200
to continue to call you. Surely
there are other streamers that are gonna do

455
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:50.799
it, and the Disney Plus password
sharing cracked down. The countdown is on

456
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.359
people. It starts in gum.
They already have rules in place to prevent

457
00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.000
subscribers from sharing their passwords. And
now we have pretty mu an idea of

458
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:05.160
when they're going to start making users
pay to share it. And it is

459
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.359
going to be starting at June in
a few countries. It's going to expand

460
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:17.880
to all subscribers in September. In
September. I'm trying to think, who's

461
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:24.200
password do I have for Disney?
And I'm looking at you act thinking of

462
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:30.200
you, my dear friend Harry in
New Orleans. I think I have your

463
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:35.720
password. Perry, You're going to
need a move in with me. Yeah.

464
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:37.400
I really shouldn't as for them that, because he definitely would move in

465
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:43.319
with me or I'm gonna have to
pay eight dollars a month. I would

466
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.799
not pay eight dollars a month for
Disney. I am trying to think of

467
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.759
all the streamers that I use I
have access to, which I do not

468
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.200
have access to Netflix anymore because I
don't think Netflix is worth it. I

469
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:58.519
have Prime, and the reason I
have Prime, And the reason you have

470
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:01.920
Prime Video is because you are an
Amazon Prime member, which a lot of

471
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.279
people forget. Oh wait a minute, they have their own streaming. Amazon

472
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.840
Prime's got some good stuff, it's
not bad. So I have Amazon Prime.

473
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.960
I have Peacock. But I have
Peacock because I have Exfinity. I

474
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:19.360
pay an armload for Exfinity and I
get one level of Peacock, so I

475
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.920
get Peacock, I get a finished
it. And now I do have Hulu.

476
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:23.800
Now I told you I got the
deal of the year last Christmas time,

477
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:30.199
Hulu offered one dollar a month subscription
legally actually sorry, ninety nine cents

478
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:34.159
a month. I pay ninety nine
a cents a month for just for one

479
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:38.079
year before it goes up. So
now I have Hulu. Hulu is now

480
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:44.920
solely owned by Disney. Hulu is
built into Disney Plus. So I do

481
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:46.280
have Hulu, I do have Peacock, I do have Prime. I do

482
00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:52.199
not have Netflix. I have Disney. I don't watch anything on Disney.

483
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:54.960
What do I watch you on Disney? I don't care really about the Marvel

484
00:34:54.960 --> 00:35:00.760
movies because they're on cable all the
time. Star Wars, No, now,

485
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:06.840
I don't now. The world of
cable is changing. And what I'm

486
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.360
more concerned about is what's gonna happen
to ESPN. ESPN already has its own

487
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:15.400
subscription tiers called ESPN Plus, which
doesn't offer a lot butt. ESPN has

488
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:21.800
just said they're getting together with a
Warner Brothers Discovery, which actually has TBSTN

489
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.920
T and a number of other things, and they're gonna have their own subscription

490
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:28.639
channel too. That thing is not
gonna be cheap. That thing is gonna

491
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.119
be twenty thirty forty bucks a month. And if that happens, what I'm

492
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.719
probably gonna do. I've been threatening
to drop cable for years and years and

493
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.000
years because the only thing I do
watch is ESPN. I watch sports.

494
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.880
It's all I'm watching. At that
point, I'll just I'll pay forty I'll

495
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.000
pay for my internet access and I'll
pay for that Win Sports channel. And

496
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.480
that's about it. Man. Things
are getting expensive. But you know what

497
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:54.920
remains free? Reo. We love
radio. You know why radio is free.

498
00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.800
I don't know why radio is free, but radio is advertiser supported.

499
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.320
And I say, I don't know
because nowadays, even though we're paying for

500
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:10.440
streaming, it's also ads supported.
Because Prime, Netflix, maybe Disney,

501
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:16.360
they're running ads while we're paying for
it. They're using the newspaper magazine subscription.

502
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.599
Yeah, let's go ahead and pay
for subscription, and we're going to

503
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:24.320
run some ads in here. Radio, my friends, right here, KPORC

504
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:29.440
nine fifty AM and all of the
over radio stations. It costs you absolutely

505
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:32.679
jack nothing to listen to it.
We love our advertisers and because we have

506
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:37.960
advertisers, they offset the cost and
we make it free to you. Ah,

507
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.760
we love this medium. It ain't
going nowhere. And I do thank

508
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:45.960
you for, certainly by twenty two
plus years here at KPORC, of supporting

509
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.400
all of the people, all the
companies that I talk about. They're great

510
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:50.880
companies. We give you an idea
of where you shop. We thank you

511
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.360
for patronizing them, and we turn
in over here. Not for sixty minutes

512
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:57.719
of content now ur we got about
forty five forty four minutes of content per

513
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.679
hour, and we do thank you
for that first hour. It's actually over

514
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:04.280
second hours coming up. If you
don't mind, could you listen for about

515
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.280
four or five minutes of news and
advertiser supported messages to keep this free.

516
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:14.880
When we come back, we're gonna
talk about more, including phones if you

517
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:17.199
have certain types of fun. Apple's
not coming out with anything at the moment,

518
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:21.599
Samsung's not coming out at things moments, So it's time for software upgrades.

519
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:23.360
And I have a meets upgrade.
Did you want to download if you

520
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:29.400
have special phones, certain phones so
you know you can stay up, including

521
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.360
everything that has to do with artificial
intelligence coming to yourself. I am Darth.

a look at that clock. People, No, the sun is still out.

529
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.199
There's no eclipse yet. We've been
talking about that first hour. We

530
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.920
are halfway through the end of the
show. We are half way that happy

531
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.719

533
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:51.719
it's final for hard who has final
bar? I have kinetic, I have

534
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.199
u Conn in one of my brackets, so I am still alive. There

535
00:38:54.960 --> 00:39:00.760
I sink that bracket gets to be
a whopping ten dollars, and that is

536
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:01.800
it. Had a good time.
A few weeks ago, I went to

537
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:06.719
Las Vegas. Always go to the
first week of March Madness tournament when there's

538
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:10.000
a ton and we have paired it
down to this, the women's final four

539
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.880
actually now the women's National Championship tomorrow. Very exciting, and we got an

540
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:20.559
eclipse on Monday. I started out
the first two segments of the show.

541
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:24.360
You want to go back and listen
to podcasts soon on iHeartRadio you'll hear my

542
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:30.079
take on why in the world are
people freaking out that there isn't there is

543
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:35.239
eclipse? It gets it gets dark
every single night of our lives. And

544
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.079
if you're having an eclipse party,
good for you. Imagine if the eclipse

545
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:43.960
happened on a weekend. That'd be
fun. Who's Who's Who's taking to the

546
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.000
debts? It's a late lunch.
It's gonna happen around one thirty Central Time

547
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.480
on Monday, Houston. Not in
the Path of Totality. I love it's

548
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:57.079
it. I sound so professional.
So the path of totality Austin, San

549
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.280
Antonio, Dallas, my parents up
in Dallas, buddies up in Dallas.

550
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.159
I do not know what they're doing
in it pay but anyway, see,

551
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:06.920
yeah, we may not even see
The weather forecast is supposed to be a

552
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:12.159
politic, cloudy, an overcast.
So whatever you're gonna do, put your

553
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:14.960
put your sun's screen on, and
don't look up at the sun. I

554
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:17.679
go back and podcast this. Actually
I did talk about special glasses that you

555
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:22.199
need. Just don't your sunglasses.
Don't use your regular sunglasses. I don't

556
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:24.719
care if they're polarized. I don't
care if they're Porsche lens. I don't

557
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:28.760
care if they're Rave bands or Malwai. Gym's Day are not certified. You

558
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.480
need a specific I as one to
three wine two is the number that's got

559
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:35.840
to be stamped on those things.
And so go get a pair of those

560
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:40.280
and enjoy it. And something sup
tells me that it's going to be covered

561
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:45.880
quite a bit successfully on television with
much better views than even looking up through

562
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:51.559
those pairs of sunglasses. I actually, if you tell you what I will,

563
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:52.880
I will give you everything you need
to know, because I will be

564
00:40:53.280 --> 00:41:00.000
on Great Day Houston, Channel eleven
on Monday mornings. Set your clocks between

565
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:04.880
nine at ten o'clock. I will
be reporting live from Space Center used in

566
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:10.760
dot in clear Lake because they're hosting
I believe it's a watch party down there.

567
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:14.639
I'm not gonna hang around till one
o'clock or though. But if you're

568
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.199
out and about in clear Lake on
your way to work, come say hi

569
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:22.360
and we can have a little pre
pre party down there, pre party down

570
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.599
there, halfway a happy hour.
We are brought to you by Papa's PLR

571
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:30.440
rum. I made a fun Instagram
video on Thursday kind of making fun of

572
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:35.400
the eclipse because it's going to be
dark for a few minutes. And Papa's

573
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:38.679
PLR has four different veritelles, one
of which is a dark rum. So

574
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:43.519
I am calling that the official rum
of the eclipse, Papa's PLR, which

575
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:45.920
is two words p I L A
R. In his earnest hemingway, it

576
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:51.199
is distilled in the Key West by
the way, callum, did I tell

577
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:57.000
you going through some emails over here, possibility of doing the show from Key

578
00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:01.960
West in the summer? Ah?
Who's that? Who is in? People?

579
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:05.679
Hit me up? Email, hit
me up. Maybe a little social

580
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.119
maybe you throw a little part,
maybe throw a little trip together. We'll

581
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:15.360
keep Key West in the summer.
Going to Papa's Pilar Distillery. If you

582
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.159
can't wait, go get your own
bottle or two or ten. Drink responsibly.

583
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.039
You can go get these things at
Total Wine. They're on the shelf,

584
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.440
specs on the shelf, goody goody, and you can make your own

585
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:30.159
dark and stormy. Should you be
having an eclipse watching party on Monday?

586
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:32.880
Have you done your taxes yet?
Oh? By the way, another big

587
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:37.719
taxes are coming up too. I
have known. One of the things about

588
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:43.320
me, I don't putts around.
I really don't. I'm not a procrastinator.

589
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:47.159
But what is it when it comes
to taxes that you just kind of

590
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:52.280
put it off? So many people
I know, Oh, I'm just gonna

591
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:58.360
file extension April fifteenth. I don't. I'm not an extension filer. Which,

592
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:00.599
by the way, I do file
my taxes every year. People,

593
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.039

the RS. I'm on RS is good

594
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:10.400
side. It is not that hard
because I actually have an account. He's

595
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.960
a CPA, which he's a good
dude. It does not stand for constant

596
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.960
Pain of the ass. He's actually
the World car Parking it did. It's

597

a real CPA. Good dude.
I fill out this big form and I

598
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:24.920
have all these it's it's a little
convoluted because I have all these ten ninety

599
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:29.119
nine's and whatever it's They don't kid
yourself. It ain't a time. But

600
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:31.239
I give it to him and then
we go and I sit in his office

601
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:34.920

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.719
One rule. Heap me out of
jail. That's it. That's my

604
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.960
rule for my CPA. I did
I have any reason to go to the

605
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:58.400
jail, but just filing on time? Bro, tell me why too?

606
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.800

a trip, Let's buy a card, let's do something. Just keep me

608
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.159
freaking out of jail. People,
stay out of jail. Pay your taxes.

609
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:12.079
How come this is not sponsored?
How come Turboat tax a software package?

610
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.639
They should sponsor this segment. Nobody

00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.480

646
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:40.119
single night. And this happens to
be one of them coming up on April

647
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:45.039

believe it is the fifth annual Celebrity Chef

648
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.800
Against Cancer and it is held once
again as always at the Downtown Beautiful Four

649
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.239
Seasons Hotel. It is shared by
the great general manager down there, Tom

650
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:59.400

special night for you foodies, but also

652
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:06.280

653
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:07.760

654
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:12.119
ready to do it again, absolutely, my thanks for having me on.

655
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.199
We're not gonna go for five pounds
this year. We're going to go for

656
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.639
six or seven. I see what
you do. It's a special one since

657
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:22.480
it's our fifth annual Celebrity Chefs Against
Cancer. We're so fortunate they have some

658
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.800
great chefs join us again this year, and people have been supportive for all

659
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.679
five years, which really really exciting. And the money goes to raise camp

660
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:37.360
raise funds for Camp Eachtown and Camp
Eagetown is our camp for children that have

661
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.400
been touched by cancer. Every summer, we do it in July. This

662
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.880
year is July fourteenth to nineteenth,
and we have about thirty two children and

663
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:50.280
their siblings working with Andy. And
you're said to bring children to the hotel

664
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.920
and have a year a week of
camp in an urban setting instead of a

665
00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:00.719
rural setting. We take a whole
floor and we and take the furniture out

666
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:02.960
and put bunk beds in and give
them them all camping experiences and show them

667
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.119
things around the city that they might
not experience. So we raised money.

668
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:10.239
April twenty fourth, I'm six to
nine pm. Some great chefs that are

669
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.639

a little taste of their food, from

670
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:20.960
Marmo to Toro Toros to bayoum Bottles, a garden Race, Alex Brandan's been

671
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.360

Bird will be there support it for five

672
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:29.480
years. Just some wonderful, wonderful
peopleI ucci to. So you talked about

673
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:30.360
some of the great restaurants. If
you see now, I'm going to be

674
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.679
here April twenty four, So it's
something you don't want to miss anyway.

675
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.119
You teat everything up. I don't
even know how many questions I have left.

676
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:39.239
You got it all. But let's
let's start with the most important one.

677
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:43.039
You were very you and your wife
are very involved with Camp page Town.

678
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:46.800
You talked a little bit about it
about the kids who obviously who rarely

679
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.000
get the chance to do something to
come and stay at at absolutely a top

680
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:53.480
notch hotel for a while and just
just live up the luxury like that.

681
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:57.719
Ye. How did this start chard
involvement in campage down? Well, we

682
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:02.559
really we formed a nonprofit for Camp
Bagetown and I'm the president and my wife

683
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.800
is right alongside of me as a
vice president. And we started it back

684
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.400
in Chicago. We started a camp
for kids with cancer, and we had

685
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:13.199
an opportunity and when we moved to
Houston to do the same thing, and

686
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:16.199
we met with the folks over at
Andy Anderson and there just have been great

687
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:22.440
to collaborators with us and ensuring that
we had children that we could come and

688
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:28.000
enjoy a week of camp in this
great urban setting and we do things like

689
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:31.280
go to Astro's game, go to
the Houston Zoo has been great to us.

690
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:36.480
This year, we're going to the
Natural Science Museum down We go to

691
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:43.159
Leakewood Yacht Club and the members of
Lake Yacht Lake Laut Club bring out their

692
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.440
their boats and take them on and
take all the kids and the counselors on

693
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:50.679
the out on the golf for about
an hour, hour and a half and

694
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.400
they come back and swim. So
just so many people getting together that yes,

695
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:57.760
have these children just be normal.
It's like they would go to any

696
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:01.119
other camp and it's just the whole
hotel. It gets involved in it serving

697
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:07.360
meals to insisted in with the arts. Last year we had a DJing training,

698
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:09.519
so all the kids learned how to
be a DJ. It's just a

699
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:15.599
wonderful week and this April twenty fourth
allows us to raise money for the camp

700
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.360
and we have some great option at
him through Michael you know, four or

701
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:22.199
five different four seasons hotels from Napa
Valley to Palm Beach, the Pump to

702
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.800
meet that Serf club in Miami are
optioning a couple of nights at their hotels

703
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:32.719
and beautiful air rings and a great
watch and even three magnums of Louis Road

704
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:37.960
Air champagne. So it's a great
fun night and we create a place with

705
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.719
a lot of energy so you can
get meet some people that are part of

706
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:45.519
the off the Houston community and just
have a lot of fun. So it's

707
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.719
it's about of fun and enjoying each
other and enjoying what Newston has to shell

708
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:53.239
show in the culinary cuisine. Oh
Tommy is the general manager of the Four

709
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:58.480
Seasons Hotel in Houston, specifically about
this really big event, the great fundraising

710
00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.320
opportunity. It is April twenty fourth, as he said, it is downtown

711
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:06.079
at the Four Seasons Hotel, Houston. You work with the ut M d

712
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:09.760
Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital. It's I
know, it's it's an oncology camp that

713
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:15.360
helps kids who've been touched by cancer, and it's just a unique opportunity.

714
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:19.840
Listen, I remember going to camp
and out out in the woods in Texas

715
00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:24.079
heat with ticks and canvas tents.
It was it's not the type of camp

716
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:29.519
you're providing them. So I mean
described the faces the attitudes of these kids

717
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:31.079
who were just you know, living
you know without you know, to some

718
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.599
extent in the lap of luxury for
a week. Well, it's wonderful.

719
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:39.119
We started off with a reception over
Georgia Brown Center where they parents shop off

720
00:51:39.159 --> 00:51:45.840
their kids and the kids are signing
in and getting all their camp materials and

721
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.400
shirts and so forth. We walk
them over to the Four Seasons from the

722
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.760
Georgia Brown. We have a red
carpet that goes to the lobby of the

723
00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:54.920
hotel with all our staff. They're
ready to greet the kids as they walk

724
00:51:54.960 --> 00:52:00.239
into the hotel and they run upstairs
and open the doors to their cabins.

725
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:07.639
And the cabins are a beautiful guest
room with bunk beds and all I'll decked

726
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:12.800
out with a great betting and just
camp style, and they go to the

727
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.760
swimming pool. We have a barbecue
and that kicks off the week. Kicks

728
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:19.400
off the week. A lot of
the kids don't know each other. They

729
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:21.880
might know each other a little bit, so you know, it's just great

730
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:23.360
to see them buying throughout the week. And by the end of the week

731
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:28.119
they're just having a ball and they've
made new friends. And we do this

732
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:32.000
something special every every night before everybody
goes to bed. We call it tipping

733
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:36.800
the hat. You put on a
cowboy hat and you're asked, do you

734
00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:39.440
have anything that you were grateful about
today or anybody you want to thank?

735
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.559
And you get the cowboy hat and
you say, I like to tip the

736
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:47.360
hat to my counselors, or it's
Andy Anderson, or to the four seasons

737
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:51.840
or just two few friends that you
made. So it's really an opportunity to

738
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:54.119
be grateful for what happened that day. And that's a really special moment.

739
00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:58.320
As we go through the through the
week, and one of our favorite parts

740

is House of Blues but prom night, uh Thursday night, so uh we

741
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.840

742
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:12.760
girls throughout the week to pick out
their dresses and try them on, and

743
00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:16.559
I've seen she just near Hemzum and
the kids get all dressed up and we

744
00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:22.159
go to the House Blues to have
dinner and dancing to this jockey and we

745
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:24.880
dance the night away for a problem
night before they before they come home,

746
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:29.360
so jilly, all different types of
activities that made it really really fat,

747
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:34.800
so very joyous community no doubt shit
tip their hats to you and your wife

748
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:37.800
for making five years and raising so
much money and being able to do this

749
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.960
real quickly before you let you go. I know, obviously it's there's the

750
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:44.480
fundraising element of what you're trying to
do. Without a doubt you're going to

751
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:46.639
shatter and accomplish all these records.
But for the people who are interested in

752
00:53:46.679 --> 00:53:50.360
going there is as you said,
there's a lot of food. You know,

753
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.400
always the first the ballroom is just
massive. When you walk in,

754
00:53:52.440 --> 00:53:57.480
there's a great DJ. It's just
a wonderful vibe of the the events I've

755
00:53:57.480 --> 00:54:00.239
been to. But the first thing
I see I always stop at Toro,

756
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:04.679
your famous restaurant in Steve. You
got Jonathan Asparzi's always making some good stuff

757
00:54:04.679 --> 00:54:07.079
and buy you and bottle favor.
I'm not kid in my favorite bar in

758
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:09.400
the city because it is all it's
brown water. Baby. You know,

759
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:13.920
I'm a bourbon guy, so you
really roll off the red carpet and you've

760
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:17.199
got some heavy hitters this year for
the around Houston chefs. Absolutely, you

761
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:21.679
got to come and try our new
bourbon from Garrison Brothers. We made a

762
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:24.639
new barrow of Garrison from Garrison Brothers
and it was just brought in a couple

763
00:54:24.679 --> 00:54:29.039
weeks ago, so you got to
come try that and just great chefs.

764
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:31.599
And you know, this year really
exciting because we last year we started a

765
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:36.679
camp in Atlanta also, and this
year we're starting to camp in Baltimore and

766
00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:40.360
camping Houston. So it's really something
that's been catching on. So it's just

767
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.679
been wonderful to see the Houston community
just embrace what we're trying to do,

768
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.079
and what they're doing is really giving
children a chance to be normal, make

769
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.920

Tom Sagesta. He is the general
manager that the Four Seasons Houston. It's

799
00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:49.559
I just love hearing stories about that

mean, listen day forty. Yeah.

I love resorts. I love traveling

00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:02.760
people. And you know, I've
had the opportunity and the ability just to

803
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:06.719
stay in nice places like that,
but there are there are so many people

804
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:09.719
who don't have the opportunities, and
so what they're doing to give kids a

805
00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:15.199
week in camp at a four Seasons
is pretty special. That is coming up

806
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:16.480
at the end of April. We
gave you the website that if you just

807

00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.280
iHeartRadio, which you should download.
That appen about the thirty minutes or so.

809
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:30.440
Calum, mister Callum Reid, who
edits out? Do you don't edit

810
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:34.519
out anything? There's there's too much
gold in this content, Callum. I

811
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:39.679
must be the easiest show to put
on podcast. You don't have to edit

812
00:57:39.800 --> 00:57:45.360
anything out, you know. I
don't cause you probably it's it's if you

813
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.039
just kind of like Thton Page Man, you put it on there. And

814
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:52.960
so if you download the iHeartRadio app, look for Kate p RC. You

815
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:55.840

two five nine five. Oh.
I talk a lot about cars and people.

825
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:42.599
Really, it's really nice because this
isn't just about technology. I'm not

826
00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:45.840
your Kim Commando. I'm not going
to tell you how to fix your computer

827
00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:50.199
and motherboard and crap like that.
I'm gonna go tell you which new device

828
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:53.320
to buy. What's a relatively inexpensive
water compare a lot of products. And

829
00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:57.199
it's not just in tech, it's
it's in everything. It's in automobiles.

830
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:00.679
You know, I do cars and
trucks. For fifteen plus years, I

831
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:06.039
have reviewed on a regular basis every
type of vehicle that prop and I'm not

832
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:09.920
going to say motorcycles, but mostly
things with four wheels. And this past

833
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:15.320
week I was rolling in a very
nice car. I was in an Infinity

834
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:22.079
q X fifty five. I don't
love Infinities, or which is the high

835
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:27.679
end version of Nissan. A little
plastic key this is. It's a it's

836
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:31.000
a nice small suv. We'll call
it a CUV. Four doors, hatch

837
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:37.320
back, relatively good cargo space,
the the infotainment center system, it's it's

838
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:40.320
you know, I got these two
screens that have always kind of thrown me

839
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.840
off. I don't know why that. I'll make it one screen, a

840
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:49.639
larger screen. It's you know,
it's okay, up, there was this

841
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:52.639
there's this piece of plastic, at
least my my demo car, that kept

842
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:55.519
falling off. When you know,
when you open the driver's side of your

843
00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:00.679
the door, there's that kickplate there's
this, you know, right between you

844
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.519
know, we're on top where the
door closes and where the door opens,

845
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:06.719
you know the bottom part of that, and there's this just plastic piece.

846
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:08.320
And every time I get out,
my left foot gets out. And if

847
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:13.039
this, this three foot long plastic
piece just falls out, I have no

848
01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:15.440
clue why. And again that could
easily be fixed or glued in if I

849
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:17.519
actually own this car. But I
get these cars for a week, and

850
01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:22.320
I'll give you my thoughts when I'm
testing and driving. And next week I'm

851
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:28.079
gonna be in a a Chevy Colorado, which is a pretty it's very nice.

852
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:30.400
It's it's a mid size. It's
a it's a mid sized truck,

853
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:35.840
not a big half ton or something. And so I like those maneuverability.

854
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:37.679
So tune in next week and I'll
give you that. But the point is,

855
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:43.599
the past two weeks, I've been
in gas powered cars, and I

856
01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:49.360
like gas powered cars, and I'm
getting I'm really The topic of electric vehicles

857
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:57.159
continues to bubble up as I see
information news from companies that companies aren't manufacturers,

858
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.960
they're not having as much success with
evs as they thought they were going

859
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:07.639
to ESLA is having some issues in
one of which was Tesla. And I'm

860
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:10.239
not gonna only rag on Tessa over
here, Tesla because there's a Texas based

861
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:15.840
company, which we love. Tesla
models. When you come out with a

862
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:20.599
car, and I know the car, I know the automobile industry, you

863
01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:24.679
have got to keep out every year
at least maybe two years of updating a

864
01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:30.639
model of a car, but something
new in it. Give it is software

865
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:39.079
upgrade, maybe change the bumper,
do something. Tesla just for all back

866
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:44.760
to a purpose. It's it's relatively
not brand new car manufacturer based. You

867
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:46.599
know, obviously if you put it
up against anything of the Big Three or

868
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:51.800
anything coming out of Michigan, they
really haven't updated a lot of their models.

869
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:53.159
There's the Model WHY, there's the
Model X, there's the S,

870
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:58.440
there's the three. They just they
just need to come up with new stuff

871
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:00.639
to keep people happy. And that's
one of the reasons as they're not selling.

872
01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:02.480
I see I anecdotally. I talk
to a few buddies of mine who

873
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:07.679
run dealerships and not name naming any
names. A lot of EV's just sitting

874
01:02:07.719 --> 01:02:13.199
out there on the on the end, they're dis greatly discounted. I do

875
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:15.480
like evs I like the concept of
EV's, I think, and you've heard

876
01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:19.119
me talk about this almost every week, Michael. I know what you're gonna

877
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:21.960
say. They go fast, they're
sexy, they're cool. They are,

878
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:28.119
but the infrastructure of how we have
to charge them when traveling and waiting ain't

879
01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:32.800
appened. I already have enough anxiety. I don't need range anxiety. It's

880
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:37.320
by range fifty miles. I need
to find some place to charge it.

881
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:39.840
Finally, if I'm find someplace to
charge it, oh wait a minute,

882
01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:44.880
I gotta wait thirty minutes because all
the chargers being taken. Finally I get

883
01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:46.400
on there. Oh wait a minute, they're not up to full capacity speed.

884
01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:50.320
It's only charging at fifty percent,
which means I now I have to

885
01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.320
wait another hour to charge it and
I'm still not going to get a full

886
01:02:52.519 --> 01:02:57.320
one hundred percent electric charge. Can't
do it, people. I need to

887
01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:01.159
get from A to B, A
to Z in a snap. So much

888
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:05.599
so I saw this news. There
are now manufacturers who have planned to kill

889
01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:08.920
all of their They had planned to
kill all over most of their gasoline power

890
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:14.280
cars in favor of evs. They
are backtracking on that. This just m

891
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:21.000
Ford Mortar Company, the laying production
of an all electric suv and pickup truck.

892
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:28.639
They are like many other manufacturers.
They're instead focusing on offering hybrid options

893
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:34.400
across its entire North American lineup by
twenty thirty. Now for It says it's

894
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:39.079
going to continue to invest in evs. But you know what the shift comes

895
01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:47.679
as an entire automotive industry has been
rethinking plans for EVS. I like hybrids.

896
01:03:47.800 --> 01:03:53.000
Hybrids are fine. Hybrid means a
combination that hits the definition of hybrid

897
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:59.800
of gas and electricity. Some of
these electric cars that are hybrids, you

898
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:03.800
don't need to plug them in.
They regenerative braking. They will charge itself

899
01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:15.639
as you break. I'm fine with
this. I just we wait. I

900
01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:19.280
don't know it is a chicken or
egg. Did the motor did the manufacturers

901
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:24.880
force EVS on it? Or was
it just these yuppies first to market,

902
01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:28.719
the Californians or whoever it was.
It's like, oh, this is a

903
01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:30.320
great new thing, man, it's
it's it. We're gonna go all electric

904
01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:36.880
and save the gas thing. Knowing
that the batteries, we have no clue

905
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.320
how long the life of a real
battery is. Before you have to spend

906
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.000
more tens of thousands of dollars replacing
the battery, and how are you going

907
01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:47.599
to dispose of those batteries. It's
not all green, so there's some issues.

908
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:51.519
I'm not telling you to go out
and sell your EV. I'm not

909
01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:55.880
telling you to go not to buy
an EV, but I'm just telling you

910
01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:59.559
right now, these are facts.
When you got the Ford Motor Company saying

911
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.039
a week we've announced in all electric
suv and all electric pickup truck, we're

912
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:08.079
gonna rethink that we're kind of good
delay that because there's a lot of GPS

913
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:10.639
that are sitting all the dealership blots
right now. We need a discount,

914
01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:14.239
we need to buy. We need
to build something people are going to buy.

915
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.280
So there's your iyebage right now.
If you want to get into discussions

916
01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:25.079
when it comes to UH Carson Trucks, I am your guy seven one oh.

917
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:29.400
Let me hit this because I teased
it. I talk a lot about

918
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:30.960
phones. One of the things that
I do I get to test a lot

919
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:34.920
of new phones other than Apple.
Apple does not send me jack, so

920
01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:41.119
I don't talk about Apple. I
love Samsung, Motorola, and uh as

921
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:45.079
A recently one plus, very very
I'm very pleased with one Plus. It

922
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:51.280
is an Android Chinese company O N
E P l U s. They just

923
01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:57.199
came out with the one plus twelve, the twelfth version of it. It

924
01:05:57.280 --> 01:06:00.079
does not fold, it does not
flip, even though they did release a

925
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:03.760
foldable phone end of last year,
which I also like. I have that

926
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:09.719
too. It's as about software when
you're buying a and well we could talk

927
01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:13.639
about this with the Android. There's
Google Pixel, There's Samsung, There's one

928
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:16.039
Plus, There's Motorola, there there's
thing. You have a lot of options

929
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:18.639
when it comes to Android phones.
Do you want one that folds? Do

930
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:21.239
you want one that flips? But
what kind of software do you want?

931
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:30.119
I think Google, because Google is
the company that makes Android. Android is

932
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:32.360
on by Google. Okay, so
when you actually have a manufacturer from Google

933
01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:36.519
Pixel, they're gonna pack every piece
of software artificial intelligence in there. They've

934
01:06:36.519 --> 01:06:40.480
got some really neat stuff. I
love the commercials. Take a photo,

935
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:45.760
you can use artificial intelligence. You
can easily delete somebody. It's actually called

936
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:48.039
the magic eraser circle something, and
they're gone. You can move the pictures

937
01:06:48.119 --> 01:06:51.840
up and down. Samsung has something
like it. One Plus did not have

938
01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:55.840
anything like that. Breaking news.
Should you have a one plus phone?

939
01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:58.199
And I actually my dad has one, and I actually I've got three or

940
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:02.119
four of them right now there there. One plus is rolling out updates to

941
01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:10.000
a bone with something called the AI
Eraser feature, the AI Eraser feature,

942
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.400
and it's its own version of Magic
Eraser. It's it's it's the company's first

943
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:19.280
AI powered feature, and it's going
to be available on a range of one

944
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:23.960
plus smartphones, including everything I talked
about, the one plus twelve, the

945
01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:27.360
twelve R, the Win plus Open, which is the foldable phone that I

946
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:32.519
have also and uh they uh they
can raise some perfections in the photo.

947
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:36.519
And what it does, it's the
artificial intelligence and analyzes an area, creates

948
01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:42.519
a background that that you know,
will blend into an existing image. Google

949
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:45.039
has something called the Magic Eraser.
Adobe has something too if you want to

950
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:49.719
play butt software. It's called Generative
Phil. So I thought that was pretty

951
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:54.039
nice. It's it's i'm i'm,
i'm, I love these features. And

952
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:58.480
just just to finish the subject,
when you're deciding on the phone, people,

953
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:01.039
you dance with the one who brung
you. I'm never gonna be the

954
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:05.079
one who says, hey, all
you Apple fanboys, and fangirls out there,

955
01:08:05.159 --> 01:08:09.199
you need to look at an Android. Android. It's about time you

956
01:08:09.280 --> 01:08:11.599
get with the program and stop being
a blue dot, green dot and get

957
01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:15.039
over due to Apple. Never I
am not the one to convince you of

958
01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:17.600
that. It's pure pressure. It's
what your family, it's what your business

959
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:24.479
news to communicate whatever. But if
you're looking and when you have Apple,

960
01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:28.439
you pretty got no choice other than
Apple, other than which model fifteen fourteen

961
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:33.520
thirteen Android, which is the world's
most popular. This is a fact time

962
01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:36.920
at big time. I think it's
got at least seventy percent share versus Apple

963
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:42.520
iOS. The Android operating system on
phones in the world, in the world,

964
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:45.479
not just the United States, more
popular. That's why I like using

965
01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:47.760
androids, because I want to speak
to some of the massive parts of my

966
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:51.600
audience of how do you utilize Android? All right, And it's not that

967
01:08:51.720 --> 01:08:56.399
hard to work an Android. It's
really almost no different than working an Apple

968
01:08:56.600 --> 01:08:59.920
iOS. There's buttons, there's a
phone, you talk, you use your

969
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:04.399
get type and it's all the same. But look at the different software features

970
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:06.560
too. And I'm the one who
help can guide you this thing. I

971
01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:11.079
think Google Pixel is phenomenal. I
do like Samsung one Plus. I knew

972
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:15.760
they lacked a few things. Seeing
this update it brings them up with the

973
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:19.199
crowd too. You look for price, you look for battery life, and

974
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:24.720
I just I'm interesting. I think
the phone market itself, it's at a

975
01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:29.760
very stagnant period of time. There's
nothing other than flippant foldal phones, which

976
01:09:29.880 --> 01:09:33.039
Apple does not have as of right
now. There's really been no big innovation

977
01:09:33.119 --> 01:09:36.319
when it comes to the hardware part
of phones. What is the next one?

978
01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:41.079
I don't know, but every year
we get a new phone, and

979
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:43.840
you just have to have it,
even though you really don't. You do

980
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:45.520
have to stay here for the final
ten minutes the show. We're gonna take

981
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:48.239
our final break this week. It
is Michael Barfield. Don't go anyway.

982
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:08.520
Wherever you are, however, you
are listening to this program terrestrially or via

983
01:10:08.600 --> 01:10:11.520
the IR Radio app. We do
thank you for listening. We got the

984
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.319
final actually less, we got less
than ten minutes. Man, we've been

985
01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:18.840
talking too much. Be it the
Eclipse, be it car reviews, be

986
01:10:19.000 --> 01:10:27.399
it tax season. Don't forget about
that, the password sharing crackdown. We

987
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:30.680
try to cover it all. I
look at your topics. Listen to your

988
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:32.199
phone calls, whether we take a
phone call or not. I could see

989
01:10:32.840 --> 01:10:38.359
you guys holding on the phone lines
with some of the topics are I try

990
01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:42.720
to treat you you as much information
as possible before we get out of here.

991
01:10:43.079 --> 01:10:46.399
One of the one of the more
hot topics that I have been questioned

992
01:10:46.479 --> 01:10:49.840
or getting about, surely in the
state of Texas in the past few weeks

993
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:58.520
has been the use of vp ns
virtual private networks and also an anti virus.

994
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:00.720
And the question is, hey,
garth Man, what's the diff between

995
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:06.399
an anti virus and a VPN?
And hang with me. I'm kind of

996
01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:10.520
tell you why Texas is a lot
of Texans have been asking him about this.

997
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:16.560
Both a virtual private network and an
anti virus, those programs can help

998
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:20.560
protect your digital life, but each
week they're different. Each one serves a

999
01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:29.439
completely different purpose. A vp INN
keeps your Internet activity private, and the

1000
01:11:29.479 --> 01:11:35.039
antivirus software helps keep your connected devices
secure from outside threats like viruses, duh

1001
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:42.960
and other belware. So VPN focuses
on privacy, antivirus software concentrates on security.

1002
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.079
Ah cool, everybody follow the follow
lines. Okay, it's good.

1003
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:55.680
So the EPN The reason I'm getting
questions from the VPN there. Generally,

1004
01:11:55.760 --> 01:12:01.119
there was a law that was passed
in Texas a few weeks ago that certain

1005
01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:12.039
websites cannot be accessed in the state
of Texas. And these are, for

1006
01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:15.399
lack of a better term, pornography
sites. Can we say that word or

1007
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:21.479
sites that are very similar to that, And yes it is. It is

1008
01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:26.720
very simple to turn the on and
off key that in him knowing where you

1009
01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:32.680
are through your IP address, where
you're where your server is located. Now

1010
01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:36.880
listen to the words where is your
server located? Where I'm based in Houston.

1011
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:41.600
We're all the staffer. We're based
in Houston. We're connected to the

1012
01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:45.840
Internet, we are on the either
AT and T fiber line whatever it is.

1013
01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:47.600
The servers go are somewhere in the
state of Texas. So every time

1014
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:53.000
our IP address those numbers that we
don't care what they are, it knows

1015
01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:56.760
I'm in the state of Texas.
Well. There are certain states that allow

1016
01:12:56.840 --> 01:13:00.880
you their countries. There's China doesn't
let you even get out of the country.

1017
01:13:00.600 --> 01:13:03.640
They know where you are. What
a VPN does. A VPN one

1018
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:08.479
of the many things it does it
keeps your Internet privacy, but it also

1019
01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:14.640
can confuse the servers and mask where
you are. So to answer your question

1020
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:20.560
without getting really technical, there is
a way to surf websites that legally,

1021
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:25.039
I guess now in Texas, you're
not supposed to be surfing in Texas and

1022
01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:27.720
still surf them in Texas by using
a VPN. That's all I'm saying.

1023
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:29.920
I'm not telling you to do it, not telling you do it, but

1024
01:13:29.960 --> 01:13:34.439
that is what a VPN is.
Works like this. It's software that encrypts

1025
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:41.720
your Internet traffic and route you and
all your data through an encrypted tunnel to

1026
01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:46.319
a secure server and another location.
And in the process, the VPN changes

1027
01:13:46.359 --> 01:13:51.640
your right p address to the address
of a different serfer that you're connected through,

1028
01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:57.640
and that makes websites think you're in
a different geographical area, different state,

1029
01:13:57.680 --> 01:14:02.359
different country, and that helps boost
your online privacy because it really renders

1030
01:14:02.399 --> 01:14:11.960
your Internet traffic indecipherable to your ISP, to your government hat workers, hackers,

1031
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:16.319
do your network administrators, while it
hides your true IP address from websites

1032
01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:23.840
you visit. Now you aware that
when you use a VPN, it's now

1033
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:29.760
the VPN rather than your ISP that
could technically monitor or log your traffic.

1034
01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:34.199
So it is vital that you use
a trustworthy VPN. There's a number of

1035
01:14:34.279 --> 01:14:40.119
them out there, and there's a
lot of benefits to a VPN. VPN

1036
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:44.680
they can help you buypass firewalls.
They can access the open Internet if you

1037
01:14:44.760 --> 01:14:46.840
live in a region with heavy Internet
censorship, if you're a student block from

1038
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:53.680
accessing certain sites on school Wi Fi. You can use a VP at the

1039
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:58.119
hydri Internet browsing activity from your ISPEP, and a number of things like that.

1040
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:03.399
That is, what of should you
get one? Should you not?

1041
01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:05.520
It's up to you. I'm just
letting you know. I get asked this

1042
01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:10.600
thing. What is it? On
the other side, what's an antivirus?

1043
01:15:11.119 --> 01:15:18.479
Antivirus software? They scan your device
feters, laptops and stops phones. They

1044
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:23.560
scan it for viruses and malware,
and the antivirus software it could detect and

1045
01:15:23.600 --> 01:15:26.439
block malware from infecting your computer.
They could delete it. If it's already

1046
01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:32.600
on your computer, you could do
a manual scan keep it running. But

1047
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:38.520
if it's it keeps your computer safe
from viruses and everything else. Fraud identify

1048
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:42.199
that you have a less chance of
that happening. Not foolproof. It is

1049
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:45.079
not foolproof, but those antivirus programs
can warn you if you're visiting a side

1050
01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:53.159
or clicking link that could be malicious. Do you need both? They're both

1051
01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:56.840
good tools to use, but they
each protect you in different ways. Each

1052
01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:00.119
one is an incomplete solution if you're
looking for comprehensive online privacy and security.

1053
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:03.520
So if you want complete protection,
yeah, go ahead. Both have an

1054
01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:12.119
antivirus. Have a VPN in your
arsenal. I'm not gonna we're running out

1055
01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:15.079
of time. I'm not gonna get
you any specific ones. Do your research

1056
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:17.279
next week. You know what,

1058
01:16:21.159 --> 01:16:29.079
VPN? What's your favorite anti security
software? I don't endorse one. I

1059
01:16:29.279 --> 01:16:34.359
do on one of my devices.
I have a VPN. I have antivirus

1060
01:16:34.399 --> 01:16:38.720
software on everything, as you should. First thing, when the first thing

1061
01:16:38.760 --> 01:16:42.079
I did when I started, when
I created my high tech text and brand,

1062
01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:45.279
I started on a channel two and
twenty twenty three years ago. Man,

1063
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:47.920
when the first thing I told people, make sure you have an antivirus,

1064
01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:51.680
make sure you change your passwords.
Almost a quarter century later, I'm

1065
01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:55.239
still doing that same thing, and
