<v Speaker 2>one Saturdays, as we have done for two decadeses called

14
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 2>the high Tech Texan Show. But oh my, so much

15
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 2>more to talk about sumer products and lifestyle. My job

16
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is to test things out, drive vehicle, play with computers, TVs, phones,

17
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>try some bourbon fashion restaurants, and I'm gonna give you

18
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>some advice. I'm just after two plus decades. It's I mean,

19
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>it's an honor to build up a brand where I

20
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>work with companies where they send me some stuff to

21
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>play with so you don't have to just running and

22
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>buy it. You can call That's right, it's it's a

23
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a radio show. We can do this is seven

24
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two five nine five. Oh. For

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>those of you who don't know what a radio show is,

26
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like a podcast, but it's broadcast all

27
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 2>over a city or a region and then simulcast. Uh.

28
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>In this particular case that I our radio just download

29
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the app. So that's the difference than a podcast versus

30
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a radio show. This is this is Big Boy Territory

31
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>People seven one thirty two one two five nine. I

32
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>have ocallum it did. It's good to see. It's been

33
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a while. I did some traveling, as you know. A

34
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>few weeks ago I was in Berlin and then all

35
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, I said, you know what, I got

36
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a life to live. Let's go play in putts around,

37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to London. So I spent four and a

38
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 2>half five days in London this about a week past

39
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>week or so. It did was it was fun. And

40
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you right now, and I'll sprinkle this throughout

41
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the show because I'm the high traveling Texan. London easily

42
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 2>in my top three cities in the world. And you know,

43
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm a California guy. You know, I'm so okay guy. Internationally,

44
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 2>it could be my favorite this It was my fourth time,

45
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>but I just really got to spend some time walking

46
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the city, taking the tube, the trains, exploring new parts

47
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>that I haven't seen before. I stayed on the East

48
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>side of London and just some food. It was blast

49
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean weather, forget about it. What am I doing

50
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>in Houston? What are we doing in Newston? Oh? Yeah?

51
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>The cost of living is I guess relative relatively, okay,

52
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>sixty five seventy degrees during the day in London at

53
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>this time of year. Night got down to about fifty

54
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>five on the people are just those people like to

55
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 2>drink Callum, I yeah, I know you're a drinker. Caltum

56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>over here. He's pushing the buttons, running the show. You

57
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>need if you need to visit London, my man, because

58
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>they have pubs more frequently than we have Starbucks in

59
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>this country or seven elevens or I mean, it is unbelievable,

60
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 2>and they love drinking, and they're so friendly, and they're

61
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a different culture. They're much more forward. I mean,

62
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>females will come up and start talking to you at

63
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>a bar. That's the way I liked it. Uh uh ah,

64
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>huh than than just it's four o'clock. I don't care

65
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 2>if it's Monday Tuesday, if it's about four four thirty

66
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>in the afternoon. Every single pub I walk past, and

67
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 2>I walk past a lot of pubs, it was packed people.

68
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, maybe you know some of them were they

69
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>got off of works, like you know, they were tressed

70
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 2>up and then their khakis and somebody even had suit

71
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>codes on and they're just sitting there holding up pint

72
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>and they're just quiffitted down. I need to get James Simpson,

73
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 2>our beer guy on this show, Dave to talk about

74
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 2>some of the beer that I tasted over there. But anyway,

75
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>it was fun and London was great, and throughout this

76
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>episode we'll sprinkle it in. I will give you one

77
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons why I was over there. I'll talk

78
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>about it in the next segment. It does have to

79
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.439
<v Speaker 2>do with laptops and technology. Other news coming up. If

80
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>you're does anybody still use X or tweet? I don't use.

81
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>It's probably of these social media platforms that I use,

82
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>and I guess I use three or four. I don't

83
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>use all of them. I use X formally Twitter the

84
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>least and I I mean I may not even use it.

85
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean Elon Musk continues just to really to jack

86
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>up what is going on at X. He pulled another one,

87
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'll tell you what that is about. If you

88
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>block people from seeing your post on X, well kiss

89
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>that goodbye. Because Elon said, screw it, We're gonna make

90
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>sure that everybody seize your post. So he's removing the unblocking.

91
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>We will talk about that of why actually it kind

92
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of is making difference and why more and more people,

93
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I think, in my opinion, are going to start pulling

94
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>away and getting and stop using that X. By the way,

95
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>if you do use Instagram and Facebook and you're not blocked,

96
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>because you can still block people on those. I am

97
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>at a high tech Texan on most of them HI

98
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>g h T E C h T E X A N.

99
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>And you could see some of the travels and shoveils

100
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of my trip, some of the fun things that I ate,

101
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>some of the technology that I was playing with. You

102
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 2>could see that in other international news. Also with vehicles,

103
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.639
<v Speaker 2>because I do talk a lot about cars and trucks

104
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I get to test drive in for fifteen years, I

105
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>drive it. The US has made a move the Biden

106
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 2>administration has made a move that I actually really I

107
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>don't agree with really because I think the US is

108
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 2>really lying of one of the reasons that they do

109
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 2>that they are banning in about a year or two

110
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 2>the importing of Chinese vehicles, Chinese evs and just Chinese vehicles,

111
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 2>and they gave one reason, but I don't think it's

112
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 2>really the reason that they want it. I think the

113
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>US is doing its best to promote and protect Detroit,

114
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>the automakers here, which I can respect. But when it

115
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>comes to the consumers itself and the escalating prices of

116
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 2>the vehicles that we are buying here in the US

117
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>versus how inexpensive the Chinese vehicles are priced and would

118
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>be priced if they came to the US, I think

119
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>they're protecting the Detroit and I think that's what they're hiding.

120
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>So look at me, look at Garth going all conspiracy.

121
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Got some gift cards to give away from Cabo Bobs

122
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>if you're hungry. I love Cabo Bob's out of Austin.

123
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.560
<v Speaker 2>There's sport locations here if you're interested some technology, Total wireless.

124
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>They're a partner here of ours, the Victor owned. There

125
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 2>is about fifteen stores. Here, I have a giveaway, another

126
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>gift card I'll give away today. So this is we

127
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>just have some fun. And I know it's college football season.

128
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>So keep one ear right here for the next hour

129
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>and forty five minutes. Keep one eye on the television,

130
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 2>even though the Longhorns don't kick off till three point

131
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 2>fifteen this Saturday in the afternoon Central time, so you

132
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>don't have to. It's not going to eat into your Longhorn.

133
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>The number one country, the number one team in that

134
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>country right now. I'm very pumped up about that. But

135
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I will take your calls if you are really in

136
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.920

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a month and I will really start listing a ton

138
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 2>of things for the holiday, holiday gift giving, the Black

139
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Friday shopping and everything as we move into the season

<v Speaker 2>going to hear this, it's interesting. Seven two one two

151
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 2>five nine five Oh. I just got back and down

152
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of jet lag. I was in London and

153
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I got back just yesterday Friday. This is after almost

154
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a back to back to Berlin. And it's funny. I

155
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>travel quite a bit across the United States. I'm not

156
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 2>a big international guy, but it would have reigns it

157
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>pours correct. So I go to Berlin for the IFA

158
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Technology Conference a few weeks ago, come back home, and

159
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>then I hop over to London. Specifically I went for

160
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the UH There was the London Design Festival. It's an

161
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 2>annual event twenty two years running that showcases artists and

162
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 2>in so many ways that design factors into our everyday

163
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>lives and ice in I got to thank the folks

164
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 2>at asus A SU's computers. And you know, if you've

165
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>listened to my radio show, you watch me on TV,

166
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you watch my social media. Yeah, obviously I talk a

167
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 2>lot about laptops and technology, and I've really been spotlighting

168
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>some products and some laptops from Asus as US as

169
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of late, one of the world's leading computer laptop companies,

170
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and they held a specific event a design a showcase

171
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>during London Design Festival, and it was really interesting because

172
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you don't think much about the design of laptops now,

173
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you know. They just came out with the zen Book,

174
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and I've tested some of their zen Books and I'm

175
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a big fan of z in books. They are light,

176
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>they are super fast, that great software you know, AI

177
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>and everything. But they came up with that with a

178
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.080
<v Speaker 2>trademarked new material on the outside of their laptops to

179
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 2>make them look really cool, sustainable, innovative. It's called Sarah Aluminum.

180
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Love the name. It's like ceramic and aluminum together, Sarah Aluminum.

181
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 2>So they took over this design studio and it was

182
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>open to the public during London Design Festival, but I

183
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>had the sneak preview about day before it opened with

184
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>some media from around the world, and I really got

185
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to tour and talked to some of the marketers of

186
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>how and how the research and design went to create

187
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Sarah Luminium, and why they created Sarah Luminium and where

188
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 2>they got the inspiration but the exit the exhibition was

189
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>really interesting. They had a number of specially commissioned pieces

190
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and some artists there that you could walk around and

191
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you could talk to some of these artists of how

192
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>they look at obviously the world differently that'd be a

193
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>furniture lighting installation, and it was. It was really interesting

194
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 2>to walk through it and to listen to these artists

195
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 2>about the aesthetics of the world around us, but also

196
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 2>the new technologies and then how it culminates with with

197
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.639
<v Speaker 2>with what ACES has done and there's z in Books

198
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.440
<v Speaker 2>series two to create this proprietary so Sarah lumin Material, Now,

199
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Sarah Lumina, let me describe it again because I've talked

200
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>about this before. It's kind of a high tech material

201
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that the aerospace industry, luxury watch industry is utilized and

202
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's an innovation a SU as they've invested

203
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>several years into really fine tuning the process and for

204
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.799
<v Speaker 2>the texture, the hardness and the colors. There's no pigment

205
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>from what I understand, that's added throughout the entire process.

206
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>There's the colors, uh, and they're precisely controlled by electric

207
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>current and voltage and mineral formula and if you look

208
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>at it the final product as a result, it's it's

209
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>scratch resistant. Uh, it's there's longvity in it, and it

210
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>really it's a unique look. It's not just a solid silver.

211
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're used to seeing laptops that are silver

212
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>or black or gray. This is kind of design that's

213
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>built in over here, which which is neat. And I

214
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>did showcase this on one of my KJOEU Channel eleven.

215
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Great they used in segments that was about a month ago,

216
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>a month and a half ago, along with one I'm

217
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>producing here. I just finished editing. But it's a sustainable

218
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>material and London is really big on sustainable materials. It's

219
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'll continue to talk about my travels, but

220
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>sustainability is something very key that we need in our

221
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>on Earth right now. It's less hazardous to the environment.

222
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.919
<v Speaker 2>It substitutes the acids that are i guess traditionally employed

223
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>for aluminum anionization for a new higher voltage method which

224
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>which uses water, pure water, and the process which they

225
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>go by it it eliminates the organic compounds and the

226
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>heavy metals from the wastewater and it results in one

227
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent recyclable material. I really did a good job.

228
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>So if you're if you're really green or earth based

229
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.759
<v Speaker 2>in things, but obviously you want technology and you're afraid

230
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>that gosh, I don't want to buy another piece of

231
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.159
<v Speaker 2>metal that's just going to be trashed. Really, look what

232
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>a SEUs has done as us.

233
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

234
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I know, I was in Berlin and I talked about

235
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 2>it again a few weeks ago. With what they have done.

236
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.159
<v Speaker 2>They got together with Inteled with some of their chips,

237
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>but it was a really really interesting learning process for

238
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 2>me of of you know the design factor. You know, listen,

239
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to think up a fashionabook guy. I really

240
00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 2>look at design when it comes to fashions, certainly men's

241
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>fashions of what I've wear, the buildings, the homes that

242
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 2>we live and work in, but it's everything that we

243
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>touch and feel. And a SEUs has done a really,

244
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>really nice job. So I do want to thank them

245
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for helping me get over to London, showing me around

246
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.279
<v Speaker 2>and understanding a little bit more. If anybody does have

247
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 2>some questions for me seven one three, two, one two

248
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 2>five nine five Oh, obviously we're past the point of

249
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 2>back to school technology help, but if you needed I

250
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>am here for you. We've got the holiday shopping season.

251
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll be doing some of my gift guides coming up,

252
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.159
<v Speaker 2>probably start that what mid to late October. So I

253
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>am here for you to talk about football, travel, computers,

254
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>a sus whatever you need, high tech text. It is

255
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the nickname all across the world on iHeart Radio. As

256
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>we continue the show, Oh, I got one for you here, callum.

257
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>You ever uh you ever been to London by the ways,

258
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 2>you really needed to go. I went to a play, No, no, no, no,

259
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to play was a musical? Sorry about that.

260
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I went to a musical. I went to Phantom of

261
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the Opera. And the funny thing is, I thought I

262
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 2>knew I was going, and I went with a few people.

263
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I had tickets, and I thought, I've seen Phantom of

264
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the Opera. Yeah, I don't let me help you out.

265
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see a lot of musicals, all right, I

266
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:50.159
<v Speaker 2>just did listen. If it doesn't have commercials and referees

267
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and umps and whistles, I really don't watch it or

268
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 2>pay attention. So I'm thinking, okay, well I've seen Phantom

269
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Opera. I'll go just for the sake of it,

270
00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 2>to go to the West End, in London, and you

271
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>know Broadway type of stuff. So why beautiful old I

272
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 2>mean just majestic theater. It used to be called Her

273
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Majesty's Theater. Now it's His Majesty's Theater obviously since Prince Charles,

274
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 2>King Charles rules everything. So lights go down and I'm

275
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>like right in the center, like a kind of the

276
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.519
<v Speaker 2>upper level, and it starts and I'm looking in. About

277
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.879
<v Speaker 2>five minutes in, I'm thinking, I don't recognize that. I

278
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:31.120
<v Speaker 2>don't remember these characters. And then there's this big chandelier

279
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not spoiling anything, don't worry people. This is

280
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.799
<v Speaker 2>chandelier that kind of moves and it goes up to

281
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the top of the over the audience and things, and

282
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, I don't remember this, what's going on? And

283
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden you hit me. Now ten minutes

284
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>into the play. Oh man, I've never seen Phantom. I've

285
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>seen Le Miserrob like three times. And that's why I

286
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't so excited, because I think leme Meserrob is all

287
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 2>in French maybe and it's about crosson or what. There's

288
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 2>this police sit out meg and I'm like, what am

289
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I doing? But the Phantom of the opera was good.

290
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.039
<v Speaker 2>It was the I was able to follow along. I

291
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 2>did have to pop an extra eighty h D pill

292
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>before I went in, so I'm throwing my hip out there,

293
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>but that's that. But it was it was really nice.

294
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.759
<v Speaker 2>So anybody ever have the chance to go see Phantom?

295
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Is Phantom still playing in New York on Broadway? I

296
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I for Cats has stopped. I don't know.

297
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't really don't care. I can count the number

298
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.639
<v Speaker 2>of musicals I've seen in my life probably on one hand.

299
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Now these I don't know one and a half hands.

300
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.679
<v Speaker 2>But it was good, and uh, it's it's what a

301
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 2>fun area, what a fun area of London, the West

302
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 2>End or Covid Garden. It was. It was great. So there's,

303
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you know a little bit more of my travels with

304
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Garth if you needed uh seven one three two one

305
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>two five nine five O. We're gonna take a break.

306
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 2>I see if the questions coming on an email. This

307
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.679
<v Speaker 2>is called the high Deck decks and show this portion

308
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>of our little program here, long running program here on

309
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 2>KPRC ninety. We were brought to you by Campbell's Compounding Pharmacy.

310
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 2>You're not familiar with the compounding pharmacy, you probably should

311
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>look into it is in the long run, it could

312
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.519
<v Speaker 2>actually save you a lot of money. They can do things.

313
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They can make medications in drugs that sometimes cost a

314
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:22.960
<v Speaker 2>ton of money, everything from those weight loss drugs. They

315
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>can make flavors of different type of things. I remember

316
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 2>when I was a kid, Campbell's compounding pharmacy two locations.

317
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>The kids were trying to take some mediciner medication and

318
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>they just didn't like the flavor. I went to Campbell's

319
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Compounding Pharmacy. Of course I know Lance Campbell who owns

320
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 2>it for so many years, and they made bubblegum flavor

321
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 2>so they could do things like that. Check them out online.

322
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:49.519
<v Speaker 2>It is Campbell c A MPB LLL Campbell'scompounding dot com.

323
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 2>There is one commutely located in Sugarland on the southwest

324
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 2>side of Houston and also not too far from the

325
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Bedcentter inside the Loop as we call it. There you go,

326
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.759
<v Speaker 2>especially you know flu shots and people are getting sick nowadays.

327
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh I didn't flu shot. I was I mean, I

328
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 2>wasn't connived into it, but I really was guilted into

329
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 2>it because if you know, my parents and I talk

330
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.680
<v Speaker 2>about my parents and so many people my my listeners.

331
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, they've met my parents over the two decades

332
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing this. They'll come down from Dallas and

333
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, they give me the jit. They give me

334
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the guilt. Actually, it's that time of year, by the way,

335
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.480
<v Speaker 2>almost happy New Year. Let's I'll not tell about they

336
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>give me the guilt. Hey, did you get your flu shot? No?

337
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Michael, you you need your flu shot?

338
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>And you know so I got a flu shot. It

339
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>was just hope. I don't get the flu phone number

340
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.640
<v Speaker 2>if you want to say I seven one three two

341
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>one two five nine five, Oh, you could try. You

342
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>can go ahead and send me something on X, which

343
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>is Twitter for lack of a better term. Elon Musk

344
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 2>owned thing that he continues to really tick people off.

345
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 2>He pulled another one. He pulled an another one, uh

346
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 2>with with on X and I'm telling you people, it

347
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>was people aren't happy? People are people are really not

348
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 2>happy with mister Elon Musk over here and I and

349
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you are you do you guys still use

350
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 2>of all the social medias? Do you guys still use

351
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 2>uh X or Twitter as much as as anything else

352
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>because at some point we've all encountered someone who just

353
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get boundaries. You know, they get too deep into

354
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>our personal space, oblivious or maybe maybe too aware of

355
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.680
<v Speaker 2>our discomfort, and the problems magnified online because there's instant

356
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 2>access to someone's digital footprint and that could be that

357
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 2>could lead to abuse, you know. So why most platforms

358
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 2>have some sort of blocking feature that enables people to

359
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 2>limit some users access to their lives. I keeed you not.

360
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Over the years, I've blocked people. I've blocked listeners to

361
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.559
<v Speaker 2>dad who have been rude, mean, use language that I

362
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't want on my pages. Maybe people that are not

363
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>my life anymore that I just not that I'm hiding

364
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 2>anything because there's really nothing to hide in my open

365
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 2>book of a life. It's just they don't I don't

366
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 2>want them seeing what's going on. Well, mister Elon Musk,

367
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Texas resident by the way, he announced to change this

368
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:32.440
<v Speaker 2>week to excess policies to enable users that you've blocked

369
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>to see your post. Now, they're not going to be

370
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 2>able to interact with you, but they're going to see

371
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 2>what you're posting to the platform. And the funny thing

372
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is Elon has waned against the blocking feature before saying

373
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.519
<v Speaker 2>users could already get around this by switching to a

374
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 2>non blocked account, which which is true. Listen the reasons

375
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a terrible, no good and really bad idea.

376
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.519
<v Speaker 2>They're too long. I'd be here much longer than an

377
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.960
<v Speaker 2>hour and a half of this radio show that I

378
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 2>have left today to do it. But it's a reminder

379
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:14.200
<v Speaker 2>that X is a place that thinks trust safety are

380
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>just not good and and and I don't agree with that.

381
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.440
<v Speaker 2>If you don't want people harassing you, you know, for

382
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 2>parents out there listening, it's like there's online harassment that

383
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that that your kids may have been bullied, right. It

384
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 2>happens more than you think. I I anecdotally hear stories

385
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.359
<v Speaker 2>several times a year like, oh my kid was harassed,

386
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm thinking it's tough for me to fathom. Yes,

387
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was. I wasn't harassed by kids at school.

388
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I was, you know, jostled, made fun of, and you

389
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 2>know obviously, which is why I'm a little bit more

390
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>sensitive than other people out there. But but online, man,

391
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you can hide behind online. So there should be something

392
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>that allows you to block heat poll or other pages.

393
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Facebook does it Instagram ologe you to do it a

394
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of things, but no, they they said, uh, we're

395
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna block blocking good idea or not seven one, three,

396
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:23.039
<v Speaker 2>nine five. I personally don't think it is. I absolutely

397
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 2>don't like it, and I'm not I'm listen, I'm not

398
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>anti Elon. I'm really not. I mean, he's doing a lot.

399
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate all those taxes in what he's doing for

400
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 2>the state of Texas. I think almost every single one

401
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:39.640
<v Speaker 2>of Elon's companies, and he's got a lot, they're based

402
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.880
<v Speaker 2>in our great state. I mean, he's got at least

403
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>he's got a house somewhere in and around Austin. That

404
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Tesla headquarters are just outside of Austin. Bas Drop, which

405
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 2>is just on Highway seventy one. As we're driving from

406
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Houston to Austin, there is I mean, you can't see it.

407
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>It's kind off Highway seventy one. Bass Drop is kind

408
00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 2>of like the Bastion Man, where you know, a lot

409
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of Blan's companies are based. He shoots off of SpaceX

410
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>rockets down to the coast in South Texas. So now,

411
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>hey man, we appreciate putting not putting Texas in the map,

412
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:14.839
<v Speaker 2>but keeping Texas relevant and you know in the news.

413
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:20.759
<v Speaker 2>But in this one, I'm gonna I'm gonna go counter

414
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go counter run on a run of counter

415
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 2>trade play of what the biggie is doing on on

416
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 2>this one. Anybody with me or not? I know, Well, jeez, well,

417
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>if you don't want, you want to just get off

418
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.240
<v Speaker 2>totally of the social platform, you post things, and people

419
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>post things because they want all their friends and all

420
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 2>their followers and I just mape it the world to see. Yeah,

421
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.759
<v Speaker 2>but I'll tell you this because there's privacy and this

422
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 2>is something that we as a as a human species

423
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.079
<v Speaker 2>and we as a generation now and it's it's probably

424
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 2>it's it's the first, almost the second generation that we've

425
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 2>been around with social media. I know, I didn't have

426
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to grow up with social media as a kid in

427
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the late seventies and the early eighties or anything, and

428
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>that was less pressure. Nowadays there is pressure because I'm

429
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna tell you it's scary. When I got into the

430
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.200
<v Speaker 2>media business twenty plus years ago, and I've been on

431
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 2>the radio and I do a ton of TV, so

432
00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>people they it's funny business. People recognize my voice. I mean,

433
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll go to Chick fil A. I'll go to Cobbo Bob's,

434
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll order something and someone's behind me's going, are you

435
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Michael Garfield? And I'm like, yeah, oh, I recognize your voice,

436
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>which I think is odd and funny but cool. But

437
00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 2>people I happen to also do a lot of things

438
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 2>where people know my face, what I look like. I'm

439
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 2>on Great Day Houston, and I've been on TV. I

440
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 2>started on Channel two. I do commercials. That's what I do.

441
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.759
<v Speaker 2>That's what I chose, you know what. Don't think I'm

442
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>blowing sunshine up, you know what, because let me help

443
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you out. All my glorwiers and doctor friends who actually

444
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 2>are smarter than me, they're all retired right now. I'm

445
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be working Saturdays for the rest of my life.

446
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.720
<v Speaker 2>But getting back to the point, I do a lot

447
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.519
<v Speaker 2>of events. I MC events, we do live broadcast. Very

448
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>rarely do I go on my social media and tell

449
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:13.559
<v Speaker 2>people where I am. Listen to that verb. I do

450
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 2>not tell people where I am at that given moment,

451
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 2>but I will post where I was once I'm done.

452
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's for safety reasons. And we have been told

453
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.680
<v Speaker 2>from HR from the radio and the TV stations just

454
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 2>bet you got to keep your head on a s whiffle.

455
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just the typical media people right now,

456
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 2>it's it's there are so many famous people who are

457
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 2>online who you follow on TikTok and you recognize right now,

458
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean my youngest son right now. It's in some

459
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of the most the proudest moments of my life is

460
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.880
<v Speaker 2>when I'm walking around with my son. He's twenty four,

461
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 2>who has an incredible, big following, an influencer, does a

462
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>ton of sports, and didn't win whatever. He is read recognized.

463
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 2>He is recognized so much more than I've been recognized

464
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:05.359
<v Speaker 2>in twenty years. And it's just I'm proud Papa sticking

465
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>out there, and I tell him, you need to be

466
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:12.279
<v Speaker 2>careful because people follow you. They think they know you,

467
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:18.400
<v Speaker 2>but they don't. I think I know Tom Cruise, I

468
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 2>know Lester a Hold because I watch NBC News. I

469
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.880
<v Speaker 2>know everybody on ESPN. I don't I know a ton

470
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.480
<v Speaker 2>of stuff about them and what they like, what they

471
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.519
<v Speaker 2>don't like, just because I've listened to him, I've watched

472
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 2>him for years and years. Just like so many of

473
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 2>these folks, you know exactly so many things about me,

474
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.839
<v Speaker 2>but I don't need like it has happened before where

475
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:41.079
<v Speaker 2>people are posting, re emailing Hey man, I know you're

476
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna be MCing this thing, and so can I come

477
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>up and get a picture or I want to introduce

478
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>you to somebody. It's it's you need to have that

479
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>wall for lack of a better term, going back, as

480
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>we end this segment over here, Elon and X there,

481
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 2>tear down that wall, mister Gorbachev. They're they're tearing down

482
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>by not letting you block people to see what you post.

483
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's where I'm really adamantly against it. Thoughts on

484
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:14.359
<v Speaker 2>that this is what it's here for. Let me hear

485

503
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>shout out to my guys over at US Coins and Jewelry.

504
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Hello to the Duncan boys, Kenny and Matthew Duncan. They're

505
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:22.799
<v Speaker 2>on Katie free A right at VASS not too far

506

<v Speaker 2>outside of Loop six ten. I just they just texted, like, say,

507
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Kenny just texted me listen to you, Garf. Thank you

508
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.640
<v Speaker 2>for the post from London. That was hilarious. Tell all

509
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 2>your listeners to come by. We'll take care of them

510
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 2>before the holiday rush when it comes to gold selling

511
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:40.799
<v Speaker 2>and buying and also a jewelry. You got it, buddies,

512
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:44.119
<v Speaker 2>you got it. So fulling up. I was in London

513
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.880
<v Speaker 2>for this past week and I'm walking around the city

514
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and I go to Big Ben and I've been here before.

515
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It is like my fourth time to London, but it

516
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.359
<v Speaker 2>wasn't any rush. And now I was just strolling along

517
00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty two thousand steps a day according to my watch,

518
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm standing in front of Big Bin, which is

519
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>very famous. Would would would would anyone argue name a

520
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 2>more famous time piece in the world. Maybe the clock

521
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:16.799
<v Speaker 2>and back the Future, Marty, But the Big Bin's it's

522
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's pretty solid, even though it's actually I have

523
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>a problem because it's it's not correct with the time

524
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.680
<v Speaker 2>because it's six hours ahead of Central time zone. See

525
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>what I did there. So I'm standing in front of

526
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Big Bin, and because of the US coins and jewelry,

527
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm a partner with these guys. I love them and

528
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I always hold up because I I have fun a

529
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 2>rolex for them, even though I did not take the

530
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 2>rolex of the trip. And I always do my Instagram

531
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.480
<v Speaker 2>videos and maybe some commercials, and I hold up my

532
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 2>watch from there and I get, you know, my tagline

533
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>is I look into the camera and ice Green Boyds.

534
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.640
<v Speaker 2>And so I did something specifically for us goings and

535
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 2>enjoy where I'm standing in front of big Ben, and

536
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I hold up my wrist and I'm like, what, big man,

537
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 2>you got it wrong. You're six hours ahead, so do

538
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.759
<v Speaker 2>The point is US coins and Jewelry dot Com. You

539
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 2>don't even need to be in used and to utilize them.

540
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.759
<v Speaker 2>They are one of the country's leaders, if not leading,

541
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:18.799
<v Speaker 2>organization that actually buys your coins. That'll sell you your coins

542
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're a coin collector. Stay it's really Christmas. Also,

543
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>they have a lot of great jewelry too, and sports

544
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 2>paraphernalia also right here on itin just south of near

545
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Boss Boss Rogo. Check that out. We continued the Garb Show.

546
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 2>One thing they don't sell. I'm gonna talk about cars now.

547
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Because I am a member of the Texas Auto Writers

548
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Association TAWA, on the board for fifteen plus years, I

549
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.359
<v Speaker 2>have and I get to drive test, drive cars, in trucks,

550
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.759
<v Speaker 2>in vehicles, and not from a dealership. This is what

551
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to say that none of this is a

552
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 2>commercial because I do not represent or speak for a dealership.

553
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I do not. I work directly with the manufacturers, and

554
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the manufacturers don't sponsor this either. I get a vehicle

555
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>once a week from random manufacturers. Chevy, BMW Mercedes Key.

556
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 2>It goes on and on and on. Doesn't matter. I

557
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 2>don't even choose. A company just comes up and drives it,

558
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>gives it to me, gives me the keys and lets

559
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 2>me drive it for a week, and I give you

560
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 2>my honest thoughts. But I do understand the car industry

561
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>and the Biden administration did something. They did something or

562
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that they passed a bill or a law that is

563
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>effectively going to block the import of Chinese electric vehicles. No, listen,

564
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not getting into the evs. You know my thoughts

565
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>on evs. Okay, it's not that I don't like evs.

566
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I just don't like charging evs. I just don't have

567
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 2>the patience for that. I think EV's they're fast, they're

568
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>some of them are sexy, They're cool to look at

569
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and very futuristic. I just don't have the time or

570
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>the patients to discharge you. Now that being said, I

571
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:02.960
<v Speaker 2>understand the worldwide I guess marketplace for automobiles. I love

572
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 2>and I stand by every US manufacturer, everyone from GM

573
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:14.000
<v Speaker 2>from everything that Stilantas owns, which is Dodge g ram Ford.

574
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I like that company too, bing go at number one,

575
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:20.680
<v Speaker 2>buy American. Do you hear what I said before I

576
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:25.559
<v Speaker 2>continue this, buy American. The Biden administration wants you to

577
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.759
<v Speaker 2>buy American, and they're trying to protect the Detroit automakers.

578
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.640
<v Speaker 2>But they just passed something. But they didn't give us

579
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the correct excuse. They didn't give us the true reason.

580
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Because the Biden administration just announced a comprehensive plan to

581
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 2>ban Chinese software and some hardware from Internet connected cars

582
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 2>in the United States. Now it's being framed as a

583
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:54.440
<v Speaker 2>national security measure because the admission the admin is stating

584
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>that the software poses quote new threats to our national

585
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 2>security voting through our supply chains unquote. Okay, this is

586
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the same reasoning behind a ban not long ago, of

587
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>telecommunications equipment from Chinese companies like Huawei and Zte. You

588
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 2>know that case those claims they were there was in

589
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 2>truth behind it, because documents reportedly showed that Huawei was

590
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 2>involved in the country's surveillance efforts. But the announcement goes

591
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>on to say that China could use critical technologies from

592
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>connected vehicles within our supply chains for surveillance and sabotage

593
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:43.920
<v Speaker 2>to undermine US national security. Now, this ruling could cover

594
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.000
<v Speaker 2>any piece of hardware that connects it vehicle to the

595
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>outside world, and that includes Bluetooth, sell Wi Fi, satellite components,

596
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.240
<v Speaker 2>camera centers onboard computers. Now, the software ban would go

597
00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>into effect in model year twenty twenty seven. They also

598
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:06.519
<v Speaker 2>proposed a ban including Russian automobile software. All right, but

599
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 2>here's the point. This proposed ban is primarily for Internet

600
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 2>connected software, and it would effectively block all Chinese auto

601
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.199
<v Speaker 2>imports because the software it's pretty much baked inside. Right.

602
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.719
<v Speaker 2>But it's already tough to get a Chinese vehicle here

603
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:28.840
<v Speaker 2>in the States because of the recent tariffs that were

604
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>placed on Chinese evs, But now this would make it

605
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>nearly impossible. Why am I talking about this? Why am

606
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I kind of a little ticked off? Because right now

607
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Chinese vehicles Chinese electric vehicles. There's a company in China

608
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:50.239
<v Speaker 2>called BYD that's one of many EV production companies. It's

609
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:52.760
<v Speaker 2>called by D. They're not here in the United States,

610
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.440
<v Speaker 2>but if you get it China, you'renna see them everywhere.

611
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.480
<v Speaker 2>There is a model of a BYD vehicle, I think

612
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it's called the Seagull EV. It's sells for around ten

613
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:09.320
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars, then thousand dollars that's it. That makes it

614
00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 2>cheaper than any American EV even after we slap one

615
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:18.719
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent tariff tax on it. Right now, I'll take that.

616
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it twenty thousand dollars EV any day of

617
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.519
<v Speaker 2>the week. But what this new admit but that the

618
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>administration is doing. They're saying, nah, we're gonna do it

619
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>for security reasons. To me, I'm reading between the lines.

620
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 2>They're just protecting Detroit in America, and I'm fine with that.

621
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Just didn't I don't. They're just not being transparent. Welcome

622
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.519
<v Speaker 2>to the gun. We look at me going off politics,

623
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 2>but I'm also talking technology in cars. Hour one OVA,

624
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>one more hour. If you want a debate, going to

625
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.159
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts, you want to talk about EV's and cars

627
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half. We'll talk about that. On the other side.

<v Speaker 2>for our iHeartRadio sales team here. If you guys want

643
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:09.599
<v Speaker 2>to help look for an alcohol or a liquor store,

644
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>more than happy to have that percenting sponsor of Happy Hour.

645
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>It is Saturday, just after twelve noon Central dime. Should

646
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.880
<v Speaker 2>you be listening live on KPRC Radio nine fifty am.

647
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 2>It is, It's listen, it's Happy Hour. Because it's Saturday.

648
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.880
<v Speaker 2>We've got college football already kicked off. My Longhorns kickoff

649
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:35.320
<v Speaker 2>in just over three hours from right now. First SEC

650
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:42.639
<v Speaker 2>game in Conference SEC Game EVA for my Longhorns Mississippi

651
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 2>State Bulldogs. Even though the longruns are favored by thirty

652
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.960
<v Speaker 2>five and a half, I give those points and take

653
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the over because the Horns are looking pretty good. But anyway,

654
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you can listen to that on our sister station seven

655
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:57.440
<v Speaker 2>ninety Sports and we got the uh Cougars, I believe

656
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:01.800
<v Speaker 2>playing on this radio station later today. So football season

657
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 2>in full swing. You know what I've noticed more recently

658
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.599
<v Speaker 2>over the years, just I don't like the more recently

659
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 2>that there is a big and I'm gonna use the

660
00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:19.920
<v Speaker 2>analogy of football. Okay, I'm gonna there's a big do

661
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to use the World war. There is

662
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:28.000
<v Speaker 2>animosity and there are people taking sides. Listen. Everybody has

663
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>their favorite team in any sport, and whether you truly

664
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.239
<v Speaker 2>mean it or you just want to give your buddies

665
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.719
<v Speaker 2>the business, you always have to say, oh man, my

666
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:41.559
<v Speaker 2>team's better than your team. Listen. I've done this my

667
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>entire life as a Texas Longhar Longhorn. I am not

668
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a fan of Oklahoma centers, and I'm just really not

669
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:50.480
<v Speaker 2>a fan of the Texas a and m Aggies. I

670
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.920
<v Speaker 2>was just born and bred that way, despite the fact

671
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>that several of my closest and past closest friends our Aggies,

672
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:01.199
<v Speaker 2>have been Aggies. And when They's and long Worns played

673
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.880
<v Speaker 2>years ago, which they will start again this year right

674
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>after Thanksgiving, it was, you know, head to head and

675
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.280
<v Speaker 2>you gave each other and I can't say the word

676
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:12.079
<v Speaker 2>now but you know, you give each other the business.

677
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh it just sucks it sold. I'm not gonna that's

678
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the way it works, right. Well, the analogy I'm gonna

679
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:23.559
<v Speaker 2>use and technology is there is another head to head

680
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:28.480
<v Speaker 2>battle that I think is just is worse than the

681
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:30.639
<v Speaker 2>long words and the aggies, the long wrns of the simoners,

682
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:36.280
<v Speaker 2>or anyway your rival versus their arrival. It's iPhone versus Android.

683
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:41.599
<v Speaker 2>It is texting. It is blue dot and green dot.

684
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Now follow me along, and if if you you've got

685
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.800
<v Speaker 2>to have this, everybody out there probably has had this issue.

686
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:54.599
<v Speaker 2>You're an iPhone user. Oh I'm an iPhone user. It's

687
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>so cool. And remember if you're a long time listener,

688
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I am an Android user. So just hear me out.

689
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.599
<v Speaker 2>So I'm an iPhone users. Oh, well, you know what

690
00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:05.840
<v Speaker 2>you're When I text to an Android, they don't go

691
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:08.519
<v Speaker 2>they don't go through all the way. Sometimes that if

692
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 2>we're on a group text, you're the one person with

693
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:15.840
<v Speaker 2>an Android phone and it's a green dot and or

694
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:18.639
<v Speaker 2>nothing ever goes and no one else gets it because

695
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 2>you screw it up, green dotter, you Android user, you're

696
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:24.000
<v Speaker 2>you know you're screwing it up. I'm gonna try to

697
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.559
<v Speaker 2>see you a photo. Well the photo is pixelated, the

698
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 2>video it's all grainy and things. I get it, I

699
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>did it, but you know what, suck it up. I

700
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have a problem as an Android person, and I

701
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 2>don't even know because what green or blue is until

702
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:41.760
<v Speaker 2>my people who use iPhones tell me I'm a green

703
00:40:41.800 --> 00:40:46.199
<v Speaker 2>dotter because as an Android user and I'm on Google

704
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Messages is what I use. We don't get green dots

705
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:51.199
<v Speaker 2>blue dots, you know, we get check marks, we get autoo.

706
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes this is s M S and rcs or whatever

707
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:57.880
<v Speaker 2>it is. And I've I'm not gonna say I've gotten

708
00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.719
<v Speaker 2>too fights, but I have been kicked out of groups,

709
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and really I don't communicate with some people anymore. I

710
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Am not kidding you. There is a big baby who

711
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I went to Hay School with in Dallas, and I

712
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:11.119
<v Speaker 2>know he's not listening to this, and so it doesn't

713
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.719
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. He has a group of about seven of

714
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:15.119
<v Speaker 2>us are eight of us that all went to high

715
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.679
<v Speaker 2>school high school people. So I've known these guys for

716
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:22.760
<v Speaker 2>forty plus years and for the past six seven eight

717
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.960
<v Speaker 2>years we're just all texting back and forth. We all

718
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:29.000
<v Speaker 2>went to our reunion last year, and most of us,

719
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, went went to ut and so we were

720
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>talking football. We talk about everything. But once in a while,

721
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:38.440
<v Speaker 2>big baby in Dallas gets a little drunk and he comes.

722
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Out of the woods.

723
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Hey Garfield, man, you know you need to get with

724
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the real world. You need to get the iPhone. I'm like,

725
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:45.679
<v Speaker 2>do you know who I am? Do you know what

726
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I do for a living? No, I'm not getting with

727
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:49.199
<v Speaker 2>the real world. Once you get with the real world,

728
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and if you've encountered this, listen, if you want to this,

729
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:56.840
<v Speaker 2>disguise your voice. I'm bullied, and I talked about bullied

730
00:41:56.880 --> 00:42:01.039
<v Speaker 2>last hour. I literally am bullied for an Android user.

731
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:04.440
<v Speaker 2>And it's just the stupidest thing. I mean, it's it's

732
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a communication device and whatever. And the reason is

733
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:14.679
<v Speaker 2>because iPhone and iOS they use one, you know, they

734
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:16.679
<v Speaker 2>use what is it FaceTime and the I messages that

735
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I died, so what it's called ibdes it. I don't

736
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:21.519
<v Speaker 2>even use an iPhone the ims verres. You know, Android

737
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:27.320
<v Speaker 2>has long used RCS, which is rich Communication Service. And

738
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.039
<v Speaker 2>I bring this up. Hear me out, ladies and gentlemen,

739
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Ebity and ivory living in perfect harmony. The world's collide.

740
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:41.440
<v Speaker 2>The new iOS eighteen, the new software operating system which

741
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:45.480
<v Speaker 2>is getting ready to come out, actually did come out.

742
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:51.639
<v Speaker 2>It now supports RCS, which means better texting for iPhone

743
00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and Android. Woo. Who you're gonna get typing indicators when

744
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.480
<v Speaker 2>people are typing in real time. You're gonna get read

745
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 2>or red receipts. Oh, this person is read it. You're

746
00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:08.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna be able to share large photos and videos. It's

747
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:12.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna be this. It's so great, this is this is wonderful.

748
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Now how do we do it? And this is mostly

749
00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:17.519
<v Speaker 2>for you U iPhone hogs. If you have an iPhone,

750
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 2>why don't you join the big party. Go to your

751
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.960
<v Speaker 2>settings it general and then about, and then scroll down

752
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.440
<v Speaker 2>to your carrier because you have to make sure your

753
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:35.880
<v Speaker 2>phone carrier data carrier supports RCS. So go to General, Settings, General, About,

754
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:39.800
<v Speaker 2>look at your carrier and tap it. It should change

755
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to show I AM S that's the word letters, I

756
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:51.239
<v Speaker 2>AMS status and it should display voice SMS and r cs.

757
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:58.239
<v Speaker 2>It should okay, and scroll down. At that point, go

758
00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 2>to your settings and go to your app. Go to

759
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:02.880
<v Speaker 2>your messaging and so I guess go to I message

760
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>under your text message, find RCS messaging. Okay, so in

761
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.440
<v Speaker 2>your I messaging and your messages under text messaging, you

762
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.199
<v Speaker 2>want to see RCS messaging, make sure it's turned on.

763
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the freaking real world. Okay. Android users, you

764
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:25.800
<v Speaker 2>may have to switch to using Google Messages to enable

765
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.000
<v Speaker 2>RCS on your Android, which I think a lot of

766
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:30.920
<v Speaker 2>people already use Google Messages. Okay, because I could sync

767
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:32.760
<v Speaker 2>it up with when I'm sitting on my desktop at home,

768
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:35.519
<v Speaker 2>I can my texts not only come to my phone,

769
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.639
<v Speaker 2>they come right to my desktop. Okay, download the Google

770
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Messages and enable the RCS chat, which is pretty much

771
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:48.440
<v Speaker 2>by default. Ladies and freaking gentlemen. An't we all get

772
00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:56.360
<v Speaker 2>along Aggie's long horns living together? Androids and all the iphoners.

773
00:44:56.639 --> 00:45:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully this is gonna help. Obviously, iphoners, you have to

774
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:07.039
<v Speaker 2>download iOS eighteen because it now supports Rich Communication Services RCS.

775
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 2>How about that? And you know what, if you know me,

776
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:14.960
<v Speaker 2>if anybody out there knows my cell phone number and

777
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:18.400
<v Speaker 2>has my text number, test it out. Don't text me

778
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.559
<v Speaker 2>before you allow for RCS. Go to your messages apps

779
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:27.199
<v Speaker 2>and allow text messaging RCS. Let me see what you think.

780
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Is it still gonna be a green dot, blue dot.

781
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Send me a photo. Let's see if it's pixelated. This

782
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:35.039
<v Speaker 2>is what I do. I try to bring the world together,

783
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.440
<v Speaker 2>one radio show at a time. Twenty two years after

784
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:39.960
<v Speaker 2>doing it. All right, we're gonna take a break right now.

785
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Michael is a name. It is the ident Text Show.

786
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you the phone number seven one three two

787
00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:56.679
<v Speaker 2>one two five nine five. Oho. That's not my mobile number. Okay,

788
00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:59.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not my cell phone number. In the twenty three

789
00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.320
<v Speaker 2>years that I've been doing this show here on kp

790
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:05.360
<v Speaker 2>RC Radio, I may have accidentally given out my cell

791
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:08.880
<v Speaker 2>phone number once, maybe twice, because after twenty two years,

792
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:10.960
<v Speaker 2>that phone number has not changed. It's our call in number.

793
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.800
<v Speaker 2>It's our contest number, all right, and so it's written

794
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.719
<v Speaker 2>in big number right here for you. When I started

795
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.960
<v Speaker 2>in radio in two thousand and one, here it was like,

796
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.519
<v Speaker 2>have people call it, because people, it's it's a it's

797
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:27.519
<v Speaker 2>a talk show right on AM. It's talk shit. You

798
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.280
<v Speaker 2>call into your sports stations, you call it to this

799
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.559
<v Speaker 2>great talk station. You want to talk to your host.

800
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You want to And I've memorized that I have said

801
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that number more than any more than eight six seven

802
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.639
<v Speaker 2>five three oh nine, and I'm an eighties guy. Okay.

803
00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 2>It is seven one three two one two five nine

804
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.400
<v Speaker 2>five oh. And the reason it's five nine five oh

805
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:50.119
<v Speaker 2>because our radio is on nine five oh am nine

806
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to fifty amplitude mode modulate. Okay. So sometimes maybe if

807
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:57.280
<v Speaker 2>my mind is not into it, sometimes my mind wonders,

808
00:46:57.360 --> 00:47:00.719
<v Speaker 2>I'll say seven one three, bit, I'll and I maybe

809
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:02.960
<v Speaker 2>once or twice I've given on my cell phone, not

810
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:05.239
<v Speaker 2>that anybody's ever called it, but I'll give you the

811
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.079
<v Speaker 2>phone number if you don't want to dial and talk

812
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to Callum. Read Callum is our wonderful man over here,

813
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the long haired, bearded wonder boy. That's you, Callum. I'm

814
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:15.199
<v Speaker 2>looking at you. Thanks for pushing the buttons and make

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 2>answering the phones. If anybody wants to call, give me recommendations,

816
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:24.320
<v Speaker 2>or tell me about tell me about the iPhone and

817
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Android texting system slowly but surely coming together. If you

818
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 2>just heard our last segment, If you don't want to

819
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.719
<v Speaker 2>do that, you're too shot, feel free to go to

820
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:35.039
<v Speaker 2>high tech text and on Twitter or x which I'm

821
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:38.159
<v Speaker 2>probably not gonna use anymore, because if you listened last hour,

822
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:41.760
<v Speaker 2>elon Musk love him R Adam. He says, you know what,

823
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.280
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna let blocking happen anymore. So you may

824
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.719
<v Speaker 2>have blocks and people from seeing your ex hosts, We're

825
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:54.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna unblock. So we're we're unblocking the unblocking. We're blocking

826
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the unblocking, if that even makes sense sort of. That's

827
00:47:56.840 --> 00:47:59.599
<v Speaker 2>how you get a get a hold of me. I

828
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:03.280
<v Speaker 2>got from London and this is my second international trip

829
00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.920
<v Speaker 2>in about three weeks. And that's not a humble brag.

830
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:12.119
<v Speaker 2>That's a freaking brag. People kidding. I never I used

831
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:13.960
<v Speaker 2>an e SIM card and I'm gonna keep this on

832
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:19.159
<v Speaker 2>the line of phones. And there's several ways to keep

833
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a contact communication using your cell phone when you travel abroad.

834
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.679
<v Speaker 2>You can light up your international calling plan. You can

835
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.280
<v Speaker 2>get a SIM card. In the SIM card, it's that

836
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.400
<v Speaker 2>little tiny card that most every single phone has that

837
00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 2>you you probably may not even know it exists. There's

838
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.039
<v Speaker 2>a little tiny little pinhole in your phone iPhones and

839
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:44.440
<v Speaker 2>androids that you can take this little paper clip type

840
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 2>of device and pop it out and the card comes out.

841
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:50.239
<v Speaker 2>And the card itself is the size of your pinky

842
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.320
<v Speaker 2>less the size of your pinky fingernail. That's actually your

843
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:56.880
<v Speaker 2>phone number. That's actually a lot of the data of

844
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:59.159
<v Speaker 2>your contacts. Everything's stored on there. So when you take

845
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:01.880
<v Speaker 2>that SIM card out and put it to another phone,

846
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:04.559
<v Speaker 2>most your phone numbers transferred to the new phone, a

847
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:06.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of your contacts, everything's a lot of things are

848
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:09.719
<v Speaker 2>transferred to your new phone. But then there's an ESM

849
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm calling an electronic SEM whatever it is, an eSIM.

850
00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:17.639
<v Speaker 2>It's a virtual SIM card. There's no physical SIM card.

851
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.519
<v Speaker 2>And so you can use these when you travel abroad.

852
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:24.079
<v Speaker 2>You can buy them from many many companies. Put your

853
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:29.159
<v Speaker 2>credit card in. You decide how many megs or gigabytes

854
00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:31.159
<v Speaker 2>of data that you want to use in any given time.

855
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Say you're traveling for a week, Say you want five

856
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.639
<v Speaker 2>gigs of data for a week. I priced this out.

857
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Five gigs of data for a week probably runds you

858
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:44.320
<v Speaker 2>anywhere between ten to twenty dollars. Now, what's gonna happen

859
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:47.239
<v Speaker 2>is depending on what country you live in. You may

860
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:49.920
<v Speaker 2>not get phone calls on your actual seven to one

861
00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.079
<v Speaker 2>three number in case anybody from Euston or the United

862
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.360
<v Speaker 2>States wants to call you. But you're gonna be able

863
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 2>to text, You're gonna be able to surf, but you're

864
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:58.000
<v Speaker 2>also going to be able to get online, and you're

865
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:02.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna use so many other communication platforms. You can use what'sapp.

866
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I lived on WhatsApp for those two different individual weeks

867
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that I was traveling abroad. You can use Facebook, Messenger,

868
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can use it's called deet Telegram, which

869
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:17.360
<v Speaker 2>is you know, it's really big in the UK. You

870
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.840
<v Speaker 2>can use a lot of these other things. And so

871
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying recommend it, but it gives you another

872
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.760
<v Speaker 2>opportunity of lighting up your international plan. Maybe your cell

873
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.559
<v Speaker 2>phone provider. Maybe you're a small have a small cell

874
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:35.599
<v Speaker 2>phone provider. They don't have international plans. That's one thing

875
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to do over the past years when I used to travel,

876
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:40.239
<v Speaker 2>I haven't going to Mexico in a while. You go

877
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:43.840
<v Speaker 2>to Mexico almost any contrary. What am I even talking about.

878
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I just use the Wi Fi because Wi Fi, for

879
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the most part, is so ubiquitous around the world. You

880
00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.480
<v Speaker 2>can find it almost anywhere. I'm on an airplane and

881
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:56.920
<v Speaker 2>there's Wi Fi on airplanes right now, and I'm on

882
00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:00.440
<v Speaker 2>United Airlines in this case, going across the pond twice,

883
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I was in almost constant communicado the entire time I'm

884
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:08.880
<v Speaker 2>over the freakin Atlantic Ocean and we're flying over Iceland

885
00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:13.039
<v Speaker 2>right and I'm on and I'm on Wi Fi and

886
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting texts you land airport. Almost every single airport

887
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 2>has Wi Fi restaurants, hubs, bistros, hotels, libraries, neighbors. Some

888
00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:31.760
<v Speaker 2>neighborhoods light up their entire neighborhood with Wi Fi that

889
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't even need to get, you know, utilized, your your, your,

890
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:37.840
<v Speaker 2>your plants. And so that that after one of the

891
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:40.000
<v Speaker 2>things that I learned in If you want anything more specific,

892
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.800
<v Speaker 2>feel free to pop me an email or post something

893
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.039
<v Speaker 2>or contact me and I can totally can get into

894
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.119
<v Speaker 2>that thing. Another one more thing, and I want to

895
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>get all my little soapbox over here. It may seem,

896
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:53.400
<v Speaker 2>if you listen to the entire show that I'm really

897
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:54.840
<v Speaker 2>not a fan of a lot of things going on

898
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:58.400
<v Speaker 2>here in the United States. Wrong. I am just as

899
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:00.280
<v Speaker 2>pot as anybody in this country to be in a America,

900
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:03.039
<v Speaker 2>to be free to live the land of the brave. Everything.

901
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I love products made here. I'm always promoting in America.

902
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:12.280
<v Speaker 2>But dang man, there are some processes that America is

903
00:52:12.760 --> 00:52:15.760
<v Speaker 2>very far behind, one of which is the cell phone industry.

904
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:20.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, you were locked into a carrier. You know, sure,

905
00:52:20.559 --> 00:52:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get a I'm gonna get you know, buy

906
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:25.400
<v Speaker 2>this phone. We'll knock off eight hundred dollars up, but

907
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:27.320
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna lock it into a three year contract plan.

908
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.039
<v Speaker 2>What is this? A lot of other countries don't do

909
00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:31.599
<v Speaker 2>this another one. And this is where I'm this is

910
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:35.320
<v Speaker 2>where I'm on that. I loved being in London and

911
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I loved Berlin. A few weeks ago. They utilize they

912
00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:45.679
<v Speaker 2>utilized mobile wallets on your phone. They really don't even

913
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:48.559
<v Speaker 2>like taking physical credit cards when you pay. I never

914
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:52.760
<v Speaker 2>once had to switch money. I never bought euros in

915
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Berlin and I never bought British pounds or quid. Did

916
00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.519
<v Speaker 2>not do it in London. Everything was credit card and

917
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:03.280
<v Speaker 2>not one did I use my physical credit card because

918
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:05.119
<v Speaker 2>I have a credit card like most of you. Looking

919
00:53:05.239 --> 00:53:08.719
<v Speaker 2>on your phones. It's called Apple Pay for you iphoners.

920
00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:12.920
<v Speaker 2>There's the Google wallet, there's a Samsung wallet. Listen, you

921
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:14.679
<v Speaker 2>can do PayPal, you could do there's a number of

922
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:19.400
<v Speaker 2>different things, right, but you go in mewhere, at least

923
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:27.199
<v Speaker 2>in London, and they have these mobile mobile readers, wireless readers, that. Yes,

924
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:28.719
<v Speaker 2>if you really want to, you could take your physical

925
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.079
<v Speaker 2>card and you can tap it. And we see that

926
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:33.079
<v Speaker 2>in the United States a lot where you can tap

927
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:36.639
<v Speaker 2>your card. But more and more United States. Yes, I'm gonna,

928
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:39.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna. I will admit, we're seeing more where you

929
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:41.679
<v Speaker 2>can tap your phone and pay. But there's a lot

930
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:45.840
<v Speaker 2>of places. HGV. I believe does not use tap to

931
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:48.000
<v Speaker 2>pay Walmart. I was at Walmart two days ago. I

932
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.559
<v Speaker 2>was trying to tap to pay and I'm asking the

933
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:50.840
<v Speaker 2>guy and he's laughing me. He goes, no, we don't

934
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.280
<v Speaker 2>use tap to pay. I think Kroger is just experimenting

935
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.760
<v Speaker 2>with it everywhere I went in Berlin and London and again.

936
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And you guys feel free to call me antag me

937
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:03.079
<v Speaker 2>if you travel more. I took my phone out, I

938
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:06.119
<v Speaker 2>opened my Google wallet and I tapped it and I

939
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:08.199
<v Speaker 2>was ready to go. If I wanted a piece of gum,

940
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:09.880
<v Speaker 2>if I wanted a coke zero, I don't care if

941
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:13.159
<v Speaker 2>it cost forty eight cents or forty eight pounds or whatever.

942
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:17.239
<v Speaker 2>I used it every store it was a vendor. I

943
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.239
<v Speaker 2>bought refrigerator magnets and t shirts off the vendors. The sidewalks.

944
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I bought bagels off the like like a vendor, you know,

945
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:25.239
<v Speaker 2>like a hot dog type of stand. It was just

946
00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a matter of you know, Kenny's dimes or dollars. They

947
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:33.000
<v Speaker 2>took it and it's secure. I like this a lot.

948
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:35.599
<v Speaker 2>It just opens. It just makes things so much more simple.

949
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:38.400
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna lose your credit card. Yes, there's ways.

950
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean I have to I use an authentication where

951
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I have to use my thumb print before I tap

952
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.480
<v Speaker 2>my phone. You can put a pen code in there

953
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:49.480
<v Speaker 2>on your front. You could put your facial recognition or whatever.

954
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Do I'm just just telling, come on the United States man,

955

1003
00:57:29.320 --> 00:57:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I know you're a runner? You still run? I said, yeah,

1004
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I still run because I've run you know, thirty years

1005
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:36.400
<v Speaker 2>marathon or whatever. But I told him I just picked

1006
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:40.880
<v Speaker 2>up Peloton and I bought a Peloton bike off a

1007
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Facebook marketplace for you know. It was relative. It was

1008
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:46.960
<v Speaker 2>a deal I couldn't pass up. And then I subscribed

1009
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to service and this past summers passed three or four months.

1010
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm obsessed with it. It is just yeah, I

1011
00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:57.599
<v Speaker 2>have a favorite trainers. And if anybody's a Peloton or

1012
00:57:58.079 --> 00:57:59.719
<v Speaker 2>try to find me, what am I think? I'm Texas

1013
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.960
<v Speaker 2>boy Garf. That's my name on Peloton and we could

1014
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:06.440
<v Speaker 2>be friends on Peloton. But it's a different exercise to running.

1015
00:58:07.159 --> 00:58:09.480
<v Speaker 2>And I have dropped about twenty five pounds or so.

1016
00:58:09.559 --> 00:58:15.000
<v Speaker 2>And listen, listen, I've stopped drinking calcohol nearly as you know,

1017
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:18.239
<v Speaker 2>as a lot as I used to, and don't eat

1018
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:21.599
<v Speaker 2>at night, stop snacking. But all in all, and I said,

1019
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:24.519
<v Speaker 2>is Peloton big here in the UK? They gave me

1020
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:27.559
<v Speaker 2>another name? What is uh? I can't even think of it?

1021
00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:29.559
<v Speaker 2>And I said, is that here only in the UK?

1022
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:32.000
<v Speaker 2>They're like, no, it's worldwide. I'm like, okay, well it's

1023
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:35.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not as big as Peloton. I mean maybe it's not,

1024
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:38.599
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know. The travels with Michael. This is

1025
00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the things that I'm telling you about Oh, by the way,

1026
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:46.440
<v Speaker 2>do you uh? I was in London and can anybody

1027
00:58:46.480 --> 00:58:48.039
<v Speaker 2>guess And for those of you been to Lendon, you

1028
00:58:48.039 --> 00:58:52.000
<v Speaker 2>know the answer without a doubt. The number one hype

1029
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:54.719
<v Speaker 2>of food that has served the restaurants, the number one

1030
00:58:55.039 --> 00:59:00.000
<v Speaker 2>restaurant type. And let's just go with the type of coils,

1031
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:04.400
<v Speaker 2>seeing the type of country, the type of flavor, Okay,

1032
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:09.920
<v Speaker 2>because here in Texas we're text mechs right, uh damn,

1033
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:14.320
<v Speaker 2>we're barbecue Okay, I call those types of restaurants kinds

1034
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.039
<v Speaker 2>of restaurants. And believe it or not, I did see

1035
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:19.960
<v Speaker 2>some barbecue, and I did see a few text mechs

1036
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and some burritos uh in across the pond. I did

1037
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:26.719
<v Speaker 2>not try them. They do need to open a Cobo

1038
00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:29.920
<v Speaker 2>by I know the folks, the executives at Cabo Bob's

1039
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and Austin. I said you need to. You need to

1040
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.440
<v Speaker 2>go to the UK and open over there. They're actually

1041
00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:40.159
<v Speaker 2>thinking about the number one restaurant type. Unequivocally, there are

1042
00:59:40.199 --> 00:59:44.480
<v Speaker 2>more Indian food restaurants in London than there are in India.

1043
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:47.039
<v Speaker 2>And let me help you out that food is a

1044
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:53.039
<v Speaker 2>hot I mean I had some chicken vindaloo and some

1045
00:59:53.239 --> 01:00:00.199
<v Speaker 2>non bread and the but with the rice it I

1046
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I can stand some heat. Don't get me wrong. I'm

1047
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:03.840
<v Speaker 2>from Texas and I could eat me some halopenias and

1048
01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:07.800
<v Speaker 2>from the happocante sauce. What a man. I need to

1049
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:11.760
<v Speaker 2>meet some chocol milk or something good. Indian food, good

1050
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Indian food. I like Indian food. There are some great

1051
01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Indian foods here and around Houston. I need I need to.

1052
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I should eat more Indian food. Anybody Indian food fans,

1053
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>let's go to lunch sometimes seven one three we do

1054
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>ever winter for the cabo bobs. There's the food. Oh

1055
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the other big thing food markets, food holes, you know,

1056
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:32.480
<v Speaker 2>food holes and food markets. They've been around here in

1057
01:00:32.519 --> 01:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>the United States. I don't know. They seem to start

1058
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.599
<v Speaker 2>proliferating three four years ago, and to me they were

1059
01:00:39.639 --> 01:00:45.800
<v Speaker 2>glorified shopping all food courts. But these outdoor slash indoor

1060
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>markets that I experienced it in London, they were such

1061
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a blast. Oh my goodness, they were so good. They're

1062
01:00:55.760 --> 01:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>there summer, I mean during lunchtime, breakfast or lunchtime. It's

1063
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:02.599
<v Speaker 2>just there's little tiny day It's like a ten x

1064
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>ten booth and there's mom and pops and they open

1065
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:10.599
<v Speaker 2>up there. Did they make great pastries and bread, guiss songs?

1066
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>They got their coffee porn. Somebody was making was Zoto

1067
01:01:15.920 --> 01:01:19.639
<v Speaker 2>truffle that you could smell a quarter of a mile away,

1068
01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and I was just I was floating on there and

1069
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.639
<v Speaker 2>I add some of that sandwiches and everything. I just

1070
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the food markets are great, the food. You know what,

1071
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:31.679
<v Speaker 2>I need to stop bitching about America. I'm not gonna

1072
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>bitch that America uses so much preservatives and grabbing their

1073
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>food while other countries, maybe Germany, maybe the UK, then

1074
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:42.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, wherever a London dy, it just seems a

1075
01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>little healthier. Look at that. Did the taste a little

1076
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:47.199
<v Speaker 2>bit more fresh? Okay, that's it because I do like

1077
01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:50.119
<v Speaker 2>me some food here, not ragging on anything. Seven one three,

1078
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>two one two five, nine to five. Get some emails

1079
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>over here, Michael, did you use a VPN when you're traveling?

1080
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting ready to go over uh the UK for

1081
01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>about a week and a half, and I needed to

1082
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:04.679
<v Speaker 2>know if I should use a vp in what are

1083
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the ins and outs and ups and downs of these things?

1084
01:02:06.559 --> 01:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>And what about a free one? All right? This is

1085
01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>from Janet. Janet she is in the Woodlands. I did

1086
01:02:13.440 --> 01:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>use a VPN on I did I brang. I didn't

1087
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>bring my laptop. I brought my tablet. Now you can

1088
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>use your VPN a virtual private network. You could use

1089
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a VPN on your phone. You can certainly use it

1090
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>on your laptop, computers, and when you're traveling, I highly

1091
01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>recommend to another country. I highly recommend that you do

1092
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>use a VPN because what a VPN does, it will

1093
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>lessen the chance of your device getting hacked. Okay, not

1094
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>one foolproof, but lessens the chance. VPN there are a

1095
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:53.239
<v Speaker 2>number of them. There are there are a number of

1096
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>them that are paid, and there are a lot of

1097
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>them that are free. You can go to your app

1098
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>store and you could download a free VPN. The thing

1099
01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to me personally is the reason is free is because

1100
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's just not all that good. Maybe you're gonna

1101
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>have to put up with some advertisements, which I'm fine

1102
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>with that. Sometimes maybe you can only use a VPN

1103
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>for one hour at a time before it knocks you off.

1104
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>You have to redial and connect again, ups and downs.

1105
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>If you have McAfee security, I think that comes with

1106
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>the VPN. Kaspersky there's a number of very reliable ones

1107
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that do cost money, and in this case it is

1108
01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:36.880
<v Speaker 2>probably worth the cost of a monthly fee, which it

1109
01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>can range anywhere between I don't know, eight to twenty

1110
01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>dollars a month, or maybe it's an annual thing. If

1111
01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>you travel a lot, use a VPN. The reason I

1112
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>used a VPN, and it's not like I'm sneaky because

1113
01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I was talking, and again I'll use this example. I

1114
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>was talking to my friends who live in London. They

1115
01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>graduated from UT They've lived in London for thirty or

1116
01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>for twenty years now. They are big Longhorn fans, and

1117
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>they obviously have issues of getting watching Longhorn sports Longhorn

1118
01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>football in another country in a six hour difference time zone,

1119
01:04:09.440 --> 01:04:14.599
<v Speaker 2>because it seems for some odd reason that soccer they

1120
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:18.119
<v Speaker 2>call it football and rugby are the thing over there.

1121
01:04:18.280 --> 01:04:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand rugby. Don't even get into the old

1122
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.559
<v Speaker 2>They don't show a lot. The NFL is pretty big,

1123
01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>but college football it is. It's tough to find some

1124
01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>college football. So what they do from their house they

1125
01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:34.039
<v Speaker 2>use a VPN that's based in America. And what it

1126
01:04:34.079 --> 01:04:38.239
<v Speaker 2>does it hell, and I'm not using the word tricks.

1127
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>It lets the computer know that it lets the computer

1128
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>think that that computer is physically in the United States,

1129
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and then they at that point they subscribe to ESPN

1130
01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:55.840
<v Speaker 2>dot com or they download the Fox Sports Happen and

1131
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>even though there's some place far away around the world,

1132
01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>when they log in to this app on Fox Sports,

1133
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:07.920
<v Speaker 2>we are Fox Sports. Fox Sports app thinks that the computer,

1134
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>even though it is physically in London, they think it's

1135
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>similar in the United States, and they are allowed to

1136
01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>show up because Fox really only has the rights to

1137
01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>broadcast that college football game in the United States. That's

1138
01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:20.559
<v Speaker 2>why I used a VPN. I watched all I watched

1139
01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:23.239
<v Speaker 2>the Longhards again VPN. I tried it without it. Nope,

1140
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>we're sorry. The service here is blocked out in these

1141
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:29.119
<v Speaker 2>foreign countries. Use a VPN and when you come back,

1142
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:31.559
<v Speaker 2>you can bring me a gift. That's okay now you

1143
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:34.039
<v Speaker 2>know your gift is your listenership. That's all I care about.

1144
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Janet. In the Woodlands, we got one more segment,

1147
01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:44.800

01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:46.679
<v Speaker 2>card to give away something else. It's called the High

1149

<v Speaker 2>Tech Text and ships canby final segment right here for

1150
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the week on the HTT show. You know what, let's celebrate.

1151
01:05:57.079 --> 01:06:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Let's give away a little something. Total Wireless it is

1152
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:05.159
<v Speaker 2>a selling data plan carrier. Here. They've got a number

1153
01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of different stores all over the Houston area that are

1154
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>owned by Victra vic tr A, about ten or fifteen

1155
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>different stores. I pass them quite often. I have a

1156
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:17.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight dollars gift card where you can go in

1157
01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and use it for anything you want. You can use

1158
01:06:20.440 --> 01:06:23.159
<v Speaker 2>it on a phone, you can use it on a

1159
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>phone cases in chargers. You can get wireless home Internet.

1160
01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:31.119
<v Speaker 2>I've been using that from Total Wireless. It's it's a

1161
01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>device that uses at home high speed five G home Internet.

1162
01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Now is I put this little device? I don't you

1163
01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>plug it into to the electricity outlet power. That's it,

1164
01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:45.599
<v Speaker 2>no cables, no nothing, and it throws out a big

1165
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Wi Fi signal so you don't need to pay the

1166
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>absorbent prices. And that thing starts at about thirty five

1167
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:52.280
<v Speaker 2>forty five dollars a month. That's what they can do

1168
01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>all right. Called number nine seven one three two one

1169
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:58.599
<v Speaker 2>two five nine five zero calum go ahead and find

1170
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>out that who is going to get the twenty dollars

1171
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>gift card to one of these Victra Total Wireless stores

1172
01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:05.840
<v Speaker 2>so they can go get their five G home wireless

1173
01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>internet or trains for their service like I have. That's

1174
01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:13.719
<v Speaker 2>my to selling data provider there. They're good stuff. So

1175
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that's it. And that's the last time I would give

1176
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>out the phone number this show because got less than

1177
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight minutes over here. I do thank you

1178
01:07:21.119 --> 01:07:26.239
<v Speaker 2>for tuning in. Recapping a number of different things. One

1179
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the pop design I was over in London this past

1180
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>week for London Design Festival aeseus as US. It's a

1181
01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>computer company, one of the world's largest computing companies. I

1182
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>went to one of their exhibits where they brought in

1183
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:44.760
<v Speaker 2>a number of different artists from all over the place

1184
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk about form, shape factor design and had a

1185
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of conversations interviews of how Asus designs their laptops

1186
01:07:56.440 --> 01:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>with kind of a smudge free type of really cool

1187
01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:01.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of outside not just grace, not it's just black.

1188
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>There's some designs that really kind of built and baked in.

1189
01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It's called Sarah aluminium. And so you can podcast this

1190
01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>and about what ten minutes callum ten minutes, you can

1191
01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>go to iHeartRadio app and download high tech textent er

1192
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Michael Garfield Show, and you can listen to that. Again.

1193
01:08:18.279 --> 01:08:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I gave you some more travel tips. How come we

1194
01:08:21.039 --> 01:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in the United States don't use our our phones to

1195
01:08:24.119 --> 01:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>pay with nearly as much as anywhere else around the world,

1196
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:34.119
<v Speaker 2>especially you get. I mean, when I was in Berlin

1197
01:08:34.119 --> 01:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago, or London last week, man, I

1198
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>never once whipped out my wallle excuse me while I

1199
01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:42.359
<v Speaker 2>whipped this out. Nope, whipped out my phone. I unfolded

1200
01:08:42.399 --> 01:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>my phone. So give you a kind of a hint.

1201
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>What type of phone I have? I unfolded my phone

1202
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:51.479
<v Speaker 2>and I just tapped it up to these readers. This

1203
01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I know we have. We have some of these mobile

1204
01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>tapped to pay readers here in the United States, but

1205
01:08:56.560 --> 01:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>they are everywhere, I mean, and everywhere when I traveled,

1206
01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I do like that? What else do I got? Oh? God,

1207
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I did a segment about an hour ago exactly on

1208
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:12.880
<v Speaker 2>cars vehicles. I review. I test drive cars every single week,

1209
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>so much so that I own a car that is

1210
01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>eighteen years old. Eighteen years old, it still runs sitting

1211
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:22.399
<v Speaker 2>in my garage. But I'd hardly ever use it because

1212
01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I test drive cars for a week. This is not

1213
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>an endorsement. I don't use dealerships. I am not endorsing

1214
01:09:28.159 --> 01:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>your dealership. But I just review cars, be at the

1215
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>good or bad, and I generally do a segment called

1216
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>what's Michael driving For the past week or two or three,

1217
01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I've driven some fun stuff this past week. I was

1218
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>in an EV. I was in an interesting one. I

1219
01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was in a Chevy Equinox EV. Now I don't love EV's.

1220
01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't mind this one because I didn't travel the

1221
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:55.399
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and eighty five miles before I had to

1222
01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>recharge it because I just don't like recharging. I'm gonna

1223
01:09:58.279 --> 01:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>tell you, man, Chevy did it hell of a job

1224
01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:06.279
<v Speaker 2>on their Equinox. They really did standard dub the price

1225
01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>for the one, and I, I mean again, I had

1226
01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:11.319
<v Speaker 2>almost to be upgrade because that's the model that did

1227
01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:15.119
<v Speaker 2>the shivy folks let me use for a week. Starts

1228
01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:17.079
<v Speaker 2>at forty three thousand, and they put a tun of

1229
01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a ton of options in there. Also with super Cruise package.

1230
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>You know it's about fifty thousand, but the point is

1231
01:10:21.760 --> 01:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>forty three to fifty thousand, you're going to get this EV.

1232
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Two people in the front, three people in the back, hatchback.

1233
01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:30.239
<v Speaker 2>We're going to call it a small CUV, small SUV

1234
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>if you will, ranges two hundred and eighty five miles.

1235
01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>But I love the digital screens. They have that seventeen

1236
01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:44.520
<v Speaker 2>inch diagonal diagonal LCD display console. The driver information center

1237
01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>is about eleven inches, so it's a beautiful screen. Rides comfortable,

1238
01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:54.279
<v Speaker 2>very quiet. Here's something in the history of automobiles, and

1239
01:10:54.359 --> 01:10:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I've been testing fifteen years. I know how to start

1240
01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:01.840
<v Speaker 2>a car. We all know how to start a car.

1241
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day. You get in the car, you

1242
01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:07.159
<v Speaker 2>take a key, you put it in the ndition, you

1243
01:11:07.239 --> 01:11:11.399
<v Speaker 2>turn it, it starts. Nowadays you have wireless key fobs.

1244
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>You approach your car, it unlocks. Keep the fob of

1245
01:11:15.800 --> 01:11:19.279
<v Speaker 2>your pocket, your purse, then put your foot on your brake,

1246
01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:24.399
<v Speaker 2>hit this ignition button somewhere in that car, and then

1247
01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>you go and get in the equinox front of my house.

1248
01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I have a key and over under four minutes, I

1249
01:11:37.239 --> 01:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>am looking everywhere for the ignition button. I have the

1250
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:47.239
<v Speaker 2>key fob in my hand. There is no button, no switch,

1251
01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:52.199
<v Speaker 2>there is nothing to turn on this EV car. Now

1252
01:11:52.199 --> 01:11:55.039
<v Speaker 2>I am at my wits end. I'm like, it's a

1253
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>middle of the day, so and drink. It was. This is

1254
01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Craig Cray. Just that's when I was about to open

1255
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:04.560
<v Speaker 2>my phone in Google, and that would easy could have

1256
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>been the most one of the most embarrassing Google searches ever.

1257
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Ow to turn on car. I'm looking around and I'm

1258
01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:13.720
<v Speaker 2>punching some buttons. You know. It's just I'm just sitting

1259
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:15.399
<v Speaker 2>there and it's hot in the afternoon, and I'm getting

1260
01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>ready to spit and stuff like that, and all of

1261
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:19.199
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, I must have hit something, and this little

1262
01:12:19.640 --> 01:12:22.239
<v Speaker 2>information right through the steering wheel and the driver information

1263
01:12:22.359 --> 01:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>just play. There's a little message that popped up to

1264
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:29.159
<v Speaker 2>turn on ignition, depress the brake. So I touched the

1265
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>brake with my foot. It turned the car on. There's

1266
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:37.640
<v Speaker 2>no freaking ignition switch that blew me away. Future cars,

1267
01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, that's a paradigm that's a paradigm switch.

1268
01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>That is a paradigm shift. If I've ever heard when

1269
01:12:44.119 --> 01:12:46.479
<v Speaker 2>you just put your foot of the brake, I don't

1270
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:48.920
<v Speaker 2>know if I'd like it, because inherently, when I get

1271
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:51.560
<v Speaker 2>into a car and I get into a new vehicle

1272
01:12:52.159 --> 01:12:56.640
<v Speaker 2>every single week for the past fifteen years. I have

1273
01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I know with which stations, radio stations to set, do

1274
01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the mirrors pair my blue tooth. When I do, and

1275
01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't even turn the car on, invariably my right

1276
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>foot goes to the break. I don't know, I just

1277
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:11.239
<v Speaker 2>don't want the car to move, even though it's not

1278
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:15.680
<v Speaker 2>going anywhere. It's not even on. So now my foot

1279
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:17.439
<v Speaker 2>goes to the break and it turned the car on.

1280
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:22.439
<v Speaker 2>It was just weird. I neither hear dr air. Maybe

1281
01:13:22.439 --> 01:13:27.239
<v Speaker 2>you think it's a cool thing, maybe not, but we

1282
01:13:27.439 --> 01:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>like it. If you're in DVS, right, I've been in

1283
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:36.279
<v Speaker 2>faster evs. They go from zero to sixty and what

1284
01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>have you. Genesis are phenomenal, the Ford Mustang, he's great.

1285
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Tesla's have a hypersonic speed or whatever. This is not bad.

1286
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I know the GM General Motors, which is the parent

1287
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of Chevy. Mary Bara who's the CEO. You know, she's

1288
01:13:50.680 --> 01:13:52.600
<v Speaker 2>vowed that we need to get more evs, more EV's.

1289
01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:54.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, they may have back stuff on that and

1290
01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>they're going to you know, potentially hybrids. But if you're

1291
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:03.399
<v Speaker 2>in DVS, take look, it's the Chovy equinox starting into

1292
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:05.439
<v Speaker 2>a forty three thousand dollars. I'm sure you can get

1293
01:14:05.479 --> 01:14:10.239
<v Speaker 2>the even lower using the word lower badges of the equinox,

1294
01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:12.239
<v Speaker 2>but this happened to be the two rs, which is

1295
01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of the highering. What and so there is my

1296
01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:18.239
<v Speaker 2>weekly What's Michael driving? Other than that? Callum, I think

1297
01:14:18.239 --> 01:14:20.640
<v Speaker 2>we made it. We gave away some gift cards and

1298
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:22.600
<v Speaker 2>we had some good content. And you, my friend, are

1299
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>going to zip this up and put it on the

1300
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app so you can podcast this thing and listen

1301
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.159
<v Speaker 2>to it over and over again. I am going to

1302
01:14:30.279 --> 01:14:32.680
<v Speaker 2>actually now make it happy hour instead of halfway to

1303
