Speaker 1: Max and previously known as HBO Max will once again
Speaker 1: be known as HBO Max.
Speaker 2: Does this have anything to do with pricing, because if
Speaker 2: it changes.
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
Speaker 2: I finally got the bundle with you know three that
Speaker 2: I got it down to where I was saving twenty
Speaker 2: bucks by getting more, which is wild.
Speaker 1: I've got to the point where I don't even know
Speaker 1: if my amount engage or my collection of different streaming
Speaker 1: services is the most financially beneficial. It's probably not. And
Speaker 1: to try to undo it and then redo it, it's
Speaker 1: you just it's not worth the hassle. So Max found
Speaker 1: out that when you go and you change the name
Speaker 1: of something and your customers still call it by the
Speaker 1: old name, you're kind of cutting yourself off at the pass.
Speaker 1: Everybody it's HBO, HBO HBO or HBO Max. Nobody just
Speaker 1: said Max. So they finally figured that out. They'll be
Speaker 1: changing it all back to HBO Max for the streaming service.
Speaker 2: There wise decision. Didn't a soda company do that? They
Speaker 2: made a massive change, and it's.
Speaker 1: Well, it gets similar to the rebranding of you know
Speaker 1: when they had new Coke. Yeah that was which that
Speaker 1: was That was just a misstep in every direction without
Speaker 1: one Yeah, which didn't last. That probably one of the
Speaker 1: most infamous rebrandings that just and reformulations that fell flat.
Speaker 2: That's why it's stuck out. That's why it's stuck in
Speaker 2: my head.
Speaker 1: In other streaming news, ESPN new standalone streaming app will
Speaker 1: cost sports fans about thirty bucks a month. The new
Speaker 1: service from the sports cable network will launch this fall.
Speaker 1: It'll include all of the network's programming, as well as
Speaker 1: other ESPN channels, including ESPN two, the SEC Network, and
Speaker 1: ESPN on ABC. Here we go with the bundles. There'll
Speaker 1: be a bundle available that includes ads supported tiers of
Speaker 1: Disney Plus and Hulu that will cost thirty six bucks
Speaker 1: per month. The service is different from ESPN's current streaming
Speaker 1: PM ESPN Plus. This new ESPN standalone app is for
Speaker 1: somebody who hardcore sports fan but doesn't want to pay
Speaker 1: for a full blown streaming service or cable or satellite.
Speaker 1: All I watch is sports.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: We get all your ESPN sports now, everything that's on
Speaker 1: all their channels through the new standalone app. If you
Speaker 1: want to pay thirty bucks for that, that doesn't help
Speaker 1: you with sports that are on other networks outside of ESPN.
Speaker 1: But you know, to each his own as to what
Speaker 1: works for you.
Speaker 2: That's the thing we were talking to Mike Bianki about.
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, yeah, yes, Microsoft denouncing layoffs of at least
Speaker 1: six thousand employees. But listen, I always love these corporate
Speaker 1: statements that come out after layoffs. We continue to implement
Speaker 1: organizational changes necessary to best position to company for success
Speaker 1: in a dynamic marketplace.
Speaker 2: And chances are we'll go ahead and hire them back
Speaker 2: at part time. That's a move right there.
Speaker 1: You know that's about three percent of their worldwide workforce.
Speaker 2: So you know the move I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: What's that? Oh when and whin they chop your full
Speaker 1: time benefits and then they will bring you back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it's all about to pay for those benefits.
Speaker 2: I see what you did there.
Speaker 1: Apple is getting into the brain chip implant game. There's
Speaker 1: reports that say by the end of this year, a
Speaker 1: new tech offering from Apple could make it make its
Speaker 1: devices increasingly accessible to all types of people with disabilities
Speaker 1: and impairments. Apple has partnered with Synchron, a company that
Speaker 1: makes a stint like device that's implaneted in a vein
Speaker 1: at the brain's motor cortex. This implant is said to
Speaker 1: make it possible for people to control their iPhone, iPad
Speaker 1: or Apple Vision Pro with mind control. According to Synchron,
Speaker 1: controlled trials will begin later this year, but they already
Speaker 1: have this up and running in one person who's using
Speaker 1: it successfully. Interesting.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, normally when I just hear brain chip,
Speaker 2: I'm out. But if it can help somebody who's deaf here,
Speaker 2: if it can help somebody, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Apple, they are turning certain pop songs into
Speaker 1: low fi beats for relaxing, sleeping, and focusing. They just
Speaker 1: rolled this out in its new Sound Therapy collection on
Speaker 1: Apple Music. In a partnership with Universal Music Group, They've
Speaker 1: transformed hits from some of the big name pop stars
Speaker 1: into extended low fi tracks designed to help listeners relax, focus,
Speaker 1: or sleep. With brain friendly sound enhancements like gamma waves
Speaker 1: and pink noise, these mellow remixes aim to calm your mind,
Speaker 1: whether you're grinding through work or drifting off for the nights.
Speaker 2: You gotta have a break from the phone. Don't use
Speaker 2: it for sleeping too, got a ceiling fan for that.
Speaker 1: Invent Wood, a company in Maryland, is set to start
Speaker 1: making a special kind of wood called super wood that's
Speaker 1: stronger than steel now starting this summer, the new ninety
Speaker 1: thousand square foot factory in Frederick, Maryland will produce this material,
Speaker 1: which is fifty percent stronger than steel and has a
Speaker 1: strength to weight ratio ten times better than that of steel.
Speaker 1: The wood is made by taking out some of the
Speaker 1: tree's natural parts and pressing what's left to make it
Speaker 1: super tough yet light weight. It's also waterproof resists fire
Speaker 1: better than regular wood. The invent wood says superwood can
Speaker 1: be used for things like building homes, making cars, or
Speaker 1: even airplane parts, and it's better for the environment than
Speaker 1: steel or concrete. They raised fifteen million to get the
Speaker 1: factory going and plan to sell the wood for about
Speaker 1: five dollars per square foot.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know the average cost, but I'm just
Speaker 2: waiting for all the Neanderthals and knuckle draggers us in
Speaker 2: and in texts about super whooperwood? Do you know it's common?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Three? Then lost by rachels.
Speaker 1: In other innovations, researchers at UCLA close to solving baldness.
Speaker 1: They appear to be getting close to the hair revolution.
Speaker 1: They say they found a molecule the PP four H
Speaker 1: five to be exact, that appears to wake up sleeping
Speaker 1: hair follicles and tells them do your job. What's more,
Speaker 1: Around a week later the job is underway, and actual
Speaker 1: hair is said to be the result, not just fuzz
Speaker 1: but thick terminal strands as the molecule blocks the protein
Speaker 1: that keeps follicles asleep.
Speaker 2: Eric Astrona hair.
Speaker 1: Google Ventures is backing the UCLA team doing the research,
Speaker 1: and sixteen million has already been raised to see the
Speaker 1: research through. The product is currently in phase two of trials,
Speaker 1: not yet approved by the FDA, and more study is
Speaker 1: needed to determine its long term safety, but it's possible that,
Speaker 1: if approved, the product could be available as early twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven. And then finally, in some other health related news,
Speaker 1: you see these ads all over the place for the
Speaker 1: shots to lose weight. Right, of course, you've got your
Speaker 1: big name brands with those Zepic and Mogovi and what
Speaker 1: not and zip bound. All these offshoots have been offering
Speaker 1: less pricey compounded versions of those name brands. Those compounded
Speaker 1: versions can no longer be offered. So why because they
Speaker 1: were allowed to be offered when there was supply shortage
Speaker 1: of the name brand. Yes, okay, so the compound ones
Speaker 1: were then permitted. All these telehealth companies popped up and
Speaker 1: started offering them. They aren't going to be able to
Speaker 1: do that anymore. This is supply So what are they doing?
Speaker 1: They're now going to be know this If you're going
Speaker 1: to go this route with one of these telehealth they
Speaker 1: are probably gonna start offering something called Lera glue tide,
Speaker 1: which is an older GLPKE one medication which you have
Speaker 1: to inject daily instead of weekly. It's also not as
Speaker 1: effective as those name brand ones, and there's potential more
Speaker 1: serious side effects than going with the name brand stuff. Now,
Speaker 1: you'll still be able to get this stuff at a
Speaker 1: significant lower rate than if you go with that name
Speaker 1: brand stuff. But just know what's going on here with
Speaker 1: this and that's why you know how expensive that is. Well,
Speaker 1: if your insurance doesn't cover it, it's over one thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: you know, So it's and speaking of the name brand stuff,
Speaker 1: they did their first head to head test of the
Speaker 1: two most popular weight loss drugs. New Studies suggests as
Speaker 1: it compares the results of ter zeppatide known as Manjaro
Speaker 1: and Zetbound versus those using semigluetides known as ozempic and Wagovi,
Speaker 1: the Manjarro and Zetbound are the clear winners when it
Speaker 1: comes to weight loss in patients over a seventy two
Speaker 1: week period, translating into about a twenty percent of total
Speaker 1: body weight loss as compared to about fourteen percent with
Speaker 1: the Ozepic and Wagovi. So if you're trying to make
Speaker 1: a choice between those, if you do have the insurance
Speaker 1: or the money to you know, afford that stuff, that's
Speaker 1: something to consider there, depending on what your end goal
Speaker 1: may be.
Speaker 2: And as predicted, I guess the chip in my head
Speaker 2: that I have predicted it. All the Superwood jokes are in, right, Yes,
Speaker 2: you guys in your Superwood. Too easy to predict it.
Speaker 1: You're all studs. We know, we know.
