Speaker 1: And be see what you can shake out of them.
Speaker 2: How about some I don't want to say what I'm
Speaker 2: gonna ask for, but you can imagine.
Speaker 1: Already discuss this. But an update to the finding of
Speaker 1: Judge I'm at Mata finding that Google maintains an illegal
Speaker 1: monopoly when it comes to search and search text advertising.
Speaker 1: What to do now? Well, the judge is turning to
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice for suggestions on how to remedy
Speaker 1: this monopolistic situation, and the DOJ says, oh, that's simple,
Speaker 1: just have them sell off Chrome and now while they're
Speaker 1: at it, maybe they can spin off Android as well. Whoa, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh now now sounds real easy, right, Yeah, sure, let's
Speaker 1: just wave a magic wand to make that.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, if this happens, it's huge. If it happens,
Speaker 2: it's going to be years from now. I can't imagine Alphabet,
Speaker 2: which is the parent company of Google, just going sure,
Speaker 2: no problem, they just get rid of Chrome, just Android alone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've got armies of lawyers who can tie
Speaker 1: this thing up in litigation for years.
Speaker 2: And they have Yeah, they have the money to do that, right,
Speaker 2: like those big companies that just you try. You think, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm going to take insert name of huge company to court.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 1: We all know they have the monopoly on the search
Speaker 1: engine market. Most people use Chrome. Now, I know some
Speaker 1: of you're gonna go, no, I don't. Most people do
Speaker 1: the statistics bear it out which one is? Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is Chrome? Yeah. Anyway, this is without even considering that
Speaker 1: there's about to be an administration change as well in Washington.
Speaker 1: Who knows what the incoming administration's attitude is going to
Speaker 1: be towards this, so everything could change.
Speaker 2: Some people are saying that might be something to do
Speaker 2: with Musk, you know, the mills and that that stuff.
Speaker 2: Conspiracy goes out there. Who knows if it happens, it's
Speaker 2: years away from happening. NASA wants SpaceX and Blue Origin
Speaker 2: to deliver cargo to the Moon. They've asked both SpaceX
Speaker 2: and Blue Origin to develop cargo landers for the NASA
Speaker 2: Artemis missions. NASA announcing plans to use those landers to
Speaker 2: deliver heavy equipment to the Moon. The agency wants Elon
Speaker 2: Musk's SpaceX to use its starship cargo Lander to deliver
Speaker 2: a pressurized rover to the Moon no earlier than twenty
Speaker 2: thirty two, and then they've asked Jeff Bezos Bezos' Blue
Speaker 2: Origin to deliver a lunar surface habitat no sooner than
Speaker 2: twenty thirty three. Both launches to support NASA's Artemis missions,
Speaker 2: which aim to bring humans back to the Moon for
Speaker 2: the first time in over fifty years. Okay, just don't
Speaker 2: put too much stuff on that Moon. Okay, let's not
Speaker 2: ruin it.
Speaker 1: Comcast announced yesterday it is moving forward with a plan
Speaker 1: to spin off its NBC Universal cable TV networks, all
Speaker 1: of them except for Bravo, which provides a ton of
Speaker 1: material for the Peacock streaming network, also owned by Compass
Speaker 1: NBC Universal. So this means they're going to spin off
Speaker 1: at the top of the list MSNBC, followed by CNBC USA,
Speaker 1: Oxygen E, Sci Fi, and Golf Channel. Now, ultimately, what
Speaker 1: will probably happen here, I'm just spitballing. Those cable networks
Speaker 1: will probably be scooped up by some investment opportunity and
Speaker 1: bundle them into yet another all encompassing streaming So that's
Speaker 1: probably going to be the future for those if any
Speaker 1: at all? What am I going to do without oxygen? Interesting?
Speaker 1: So they will be losing affiliation with NBC. Do you
Speaker 1: still have your CD collection? Nope. Some of those CDs
Speaker 1: that you have could be worth thousands of dollars. Of
Speaker 1: course there are now they got rid of them. This
Speaker 1: is interesting. Just a couple to mention. Bruce Springsteen has
Speaker 1: something called The Future of Rock and Roll. If you
Speaker 1: own that one came out in eighty eight as a
Speaker 1: promo only double disc. It's worth about fourteen hundred bucks. Oh,
Speaker 1: so promo only ones are good because I have not
Speaker 1: the company promo. Okay, a promotional released only copy like
Speaker 1: to radio station.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, because I have the ones,
Speaker 2: all the CDs. If you've won a CD from us
Speaker 2: back in the day, you'll remember when there was a
Speaker 2: whole punch through the plastic case. That's a promo. Yes, correct,
Speaker 2: So those are good. I might have some sitting around.
Speaker 1: Well, not all of them, just they's specific titles that
Speaker 1: I mentioned, the Springsteen one.
Speaker 2: I listened to what you say. I heard that I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I figured right when you did this story that anything
Speaker 2: with a whole punch through.
Speaker 1: It is trash.
Speaker 2: And every CD I had was whole punch because I
Speaker 2: got CDs all from radio, because I worked here my
Speaker 2: whole life.
Speaker 1: Never bought a concert ticket, never bought a CD.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I no, I never did buy a CD.
Speaker 1: Holy cow. Now there was a time where most of
Speaker 1: my disposable income went to the purchase of CDs.
Speaker 2: Different strokes, different folks. You worked in that industry. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I hung on to all my CDs. I
Speaker 1: thought you scold a minute. No I sold. I sold
Speaker 1: some collections I had, but nothing that's in in records.
Speaker 1: You sold some records. I'm building that now. That's that
Speaker 1: was a mistake.
Speaker 2: You know. We can't go back. We can't armchair quarterback
Speaker 2: what we sold in our past.
Speaker 1: I do make it. I do think I have one
Speaker 1: of these. It's mentioned here, David Bowie's nineteen eighty nine
Speaker 1: Sound and Vision that'll go for up to four hundred bucks. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look through and see if you
Speaker 1: get any of these, I bet you, and if it's
Speaker 1: worth that, Now, though, Lynch, do you seller or hold
Speaker 1: on to it? I don't know. These are decisions that
Speaker 1: will have to be made. Uh huh. Bo's is acquiring
Speaker 1: luxury auto brand Macintosh. The release from Bose says the
Speaker 1: move will boost its current lineup. Doesn't appear that changes
Speaker 1: are set for existing products on either side, However, both
Speaker 1: companies are set to team up in the automotive division.
Speaker 1: Two big names in audio uh Seattle man facing charges
Speaker 1: after allegedly stabbing his computer class instructor. Who Police say
