<v Speaker 3>Add now your high Tech Texan, Michael Garfield.

9
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 2>It is one shining moment time people, one of the

10
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>greatest weekends of the year, at least in terms of sports.

11
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>It is March Madness people, as we count down the

12
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>world watching our great state of Texas. At about three weeks,

13
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Final four will be in sam Antonio, which,

14
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you can hear me right now. Well,

15
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening in San Antonio WOAI News Radio twelve hundred.

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Does that mean I can get a press pass? You

17
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>think I can get a media credential? Since I am

18
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>broadcasting on iHeartRadio, which is actually the former home and

19
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>in place of Clear Channel, which was iHeart Radio, I

20
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know, somebody. I am more than happy to report courtside.

21
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I an eagle in case his voice gets a little

22
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little dry. I'm more than happy to

23
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>take over, but we will talk a little bit about that. Yes,

24
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 2>it is a technologically oriented show, more of a consumer lifestyle.

25
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>But if you are a longtime listener twenty three, twenty

26
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 2>four or so years that I have been doing this,

27
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>it is all sports. I'm massive sports fans, so we

28
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 2>can talk about that. Five teams from our great state

29
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>of Texas are in arch Madness, including my don't know

30
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>how snuck in earlier this week, the University of Texas Longhards. Yes,

31
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>something tells me that they may not go relatively far,

32
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 2>but the University of Houston, where I'm also over the

33
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>air on KPRC nine fifty am. Odds are they have

34
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good chance of reaching San Antonio, which is

35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>another opportunity for me to get immedia credential. So we

36
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>will see lots to talk about today, including spring cleaning.

37
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Last week I talked about what to do with some

38
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>of your old gadgets that are laying around, that are

39
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 2>gaining dust, that your spouse is yelling at you. Why

40
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>don't you do something about this thing? Don't throw them away.

41
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>You really never should throw away any phone or TV

42
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 2>or computer. A monitor because there's too much metal. And obviously,

43
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't erased your data, absolutely never just throw

44
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>them away. And I gave you some websites which you

45
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>actually could turn old devices into money. If you've missed that,

46
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 2>shame on you. People. You should be listening to this

47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 2>radio show every single week. You can go to our podcast,

48
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>go to iHeartRadio hop download it ryheartradio dot com and

49
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>you can type in my name Michael Garfield, and then

50
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>you can listen to last week's show. And I gave

51
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>you some really interesting websites. One was what declutter and

52
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>a few others that they will pay you relatively good

53
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 2>money if your devices are a good, good, you know,

54
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>type of condition. But there's other things to do. It

55
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>is spring cleaning, and I'm going to talk about recycling

56
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>old phones and appliances. Too old appliances, treadmills, dishwashers, refrigerators.

57
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Some places can haul them away from you. So I

58
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>have a whole list of things to do. We've got that.

59
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I was on Fox seven Austin, but look at me.

60
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm name drop at every city that I'm in. Shout

61
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>out to Austin. I am a tech reporter, the tech

62
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>contribut on Fox seven Austin every Monday morning. I did

63
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a segment earlier this week on projectors. I like projectors

64
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>right now. Projectors, to some extent are the new televisions

65
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and TVs. You know, for years and years I get

66
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>asked the question, Hey, Michael, what's the best TV I

67
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>should get? Should I get a Should I get one

68
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 2>that hangs on the wash? Should I get one that

69
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 2>just sits on a stand? Do I get a forty

70
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>two inch? Do I get a fifty five inch class?

71
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Do I get a seventy five inch class? How cheap

72
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>are they? How heavy are they? You know? Does it

73
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>need to be streaming? Does it need to be four K?

74
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Does it need to be ak? Well, I'll tell you what.

75
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>There's other options right now that includes projectors. Projectors nowaday

76
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>are getting so simple to use, and in many cases

77
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>they're cheaper than televisions, but they give you a lot

78
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 2>of options because they can be portable. You could take these.

79
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean I am playing with some projectors right now

80
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that are probably certainly less than three pounds that can

81
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>go inside and project things on your wall or a screen,

82
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>but you can also take them outside, and so at

83
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>night you can have your little pool party and you can,

84
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, just watch sports. And this is a perfect

85
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>time of year too, you know, watch games outside with

86
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>all your buddies on a one hundred and fifty inch screen.

87
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Some projectors can project that wide four K

88
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>and ten eighty. I did a segment on Fox seven

89
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'll go through some of the better projectors that

90
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you can get right now. They're relatively easy to set up.

91
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Along with your questions. That's right. It is a call

92
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 2>in radio show. I'm going to give you the number

93
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 2>three four six twenty nine Texan. See's that simple, three

94
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 2>four six two nine t e X A N. No

95
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>matter where you are listening to this show, because you

96
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>can listen to it terrestrially in Dallas on eleven ninety

97
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>talk radio, as I said, Houston, as I said, San Antonio,

98
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>and you can listen on iHeartRadio wherever you are. If

99
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>you miss it, you can listen it to it on

100
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>the replay, which we all call a podcast. A lot

101
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 2>of car news and car fun stuff. You know, I

102
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>drive cars and test drive cars every single week. And

103
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I had I had a smile machine this week I had.

104
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 2>If you follow me on social I put some photos

105
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of what I was driving, and listen. I drive sixty

106
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>plus vehicles a year. Every week, at least I get one.

107
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I get two per week from manufacturers. I don't

108
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>deal with dealerships people. These are manufacturers who do not

109
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 2>pay me. I am just I am an auto journalist,

110
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and they want my honest thoughts and opinions. And I

111
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>think my audience over the years is really appreciated. I'm

112
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 2>not paid or influenced by anybody. I could tell you

113
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>when a vehicle is crap, some of the better points

114
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>of a vehicle. Who this one is for? Who you know?

115
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Why you should not consider this, depending on what type

116
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>of lifestyle you're living right now.

117
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.399
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of them are.

118
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're Sedans and their SUVs and their cuvs.

119
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you've driven one, you've driven another. Enclose your eyes.

120
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>But I was in one that made me smile, that

121
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 2>was very loud, that had a lot of surprises, and

122
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>it was a head turner wherever I drove it. It

123
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>was a twenty twenty four Dodge Charger Daytona scat pack

124
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Stage two. That's a lot of words right there. But

125
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>what that means for those of you who are not

126
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>car Nerds. It's a muscle car, the Dodge Chargers, the

127
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>two door vehicle that is zoom zoom, big muscle car.

128
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>But stand by, there's a twist. You know, muscle cars,

129
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>if you think about it, they've been around since what

130
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties. We're going to go drag

131
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 2>race and we're going to take it on the track

132
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to do grease lightning. And it's got

133
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>a hemi combustible engine that you fill up with gas

134
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's just rumbling and bumbling. Not this one, people,

135
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>This is electric. That's right, electric blue people. It's the

136
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodge Charger Daytona. It is loud, but how can it

137
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 2>be loud if it doesn't have a combustible engine. It's electric,

138
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>it's supposed to be dirt quiet. Well, there is a

139
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 2>way to turn on the sound. It's very interesting. I

140
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>love the technology. I spent an entire week on it.

141
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Did a video. We'll put that on my YouTube here soon,

142
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 2>which you can find in Michael Garfield. But I will

143
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about that. This is something that you may be

144
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.879
<v Speaker 2>interested in, should you be in a lifestyle of getting

145
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 2>a muscle car that is electric, which is the new

146
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>way of doing things, folks. So this is what we

147
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>have in store for you. I'm just not here repairing

148
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>your computer because that is not sexy radio. No, no, no,

149
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:28.879

<v Speaker 2>I want to meet you one on one. A lot

155
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 2>of travel and a lot of sports, a lot of

156
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.519
<v Speaker 2>fun three four six twenty nine texting. Just don't go

157
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 2>only with people. Too much stuff going on, My good

158
00:08:52.679 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 2>buddy's going on up high tech texts in check. A

159
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>few days into the March Madness tournament. Raise your hand.

160
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>How many brackets are busted after the first round of games.

161
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>So Thursday morning, I know my bracket is busted. Maybe

162
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 2>you have a second chance. How many brackets did you

163
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 2>fill out for March Madness. I generally fill out four

164
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>or five because I'm in different fools and I change

165
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 2>them up to I don't know, to give myself a

166
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>chance because nobody's perfect when it comes to these brackets.

167
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>We welcome you back, Michael Garfield. If we're tight, you

168
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.200
<v Speaker 2>can call me Garf GA RF. You can get into

169
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the conversation here three four, six, twenty nine. Texan do

170
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 2>you do you put your team your alma mater and

171
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>make it go all the way? I generally have my

172
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>home of mater, the University of Texas Longhorns, going relatively far.

173
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 2>Two years ago, I had them winning the entire thing

174
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and they came there. They were half a game away

175
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 2>from the Final Four. That would have been if you

176
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.039
<v Speaker 2>remember two years ago, the Final Four was in Houston

177
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 2>at NRG Stadium, Texas would have been I mean, it

178
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>would have been a home game. In the semi final

179
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>game they were playing Miami. University of Miami. Texas is

180
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>up at halftime. I mean, me and my boys were

181
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>already calling me asking me, hey, can I stay at

182
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>your place Garf in Houston. Man, this is gonna be crazy.

183
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Forty minutes later, Miami comes back, they win, Texas's out

184
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 2>and that was not good. So that's probably the last

185
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 2>time I put that's definitely the last time I made

186
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Texas go all the way. I did. In one of

187
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 2>my polls put uh Houston Cougar's hometown Houston Cougars. I

188
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>live in Houston at the present moment right now. But

189
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>if you, uh, let's say utsa San Antonio, which is

190
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>hosting one of the co the host of the Final four,

191
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>because hits in San Antonio, they're not going all the way.

192
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech is in there. We got five Texas teams,

193
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>and we talked about brackets. Can you win your bracket?

194
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.519
<v Speaker 2>How much do you is it bragging rights? You know?

195
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you do? You pay? You know, you send your

196
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>buddy ten bucks and so you can actually, you know,

197
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>potentially win some money. No one, I don't think in

198
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the history of world has ever gotten a perfect bracket.

199
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 2>A perfect bracket. Because there are sixty three games total.

200
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>If you go over the three weeks, there is one

201
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>in nine point two quintillion chance of picking a perfect bracket.

202
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>That is one quintillion is one billion billions. Okay, there's

203
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.080
<v Speaker 2>a little tech there's a little too much technological stuff

204
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 2>for you, but one in nine point two quintillion and

205
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.919
<v Speaker 2>eight happening. Which is why companies and people can offer

206
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.879
<v Speaker 2>prizes that, hey, if you've got a perfect bracket and

207
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>you enter our bracket, you're gonna win this. I remember

208
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Warren Buffett. I think he used to offer was it

209
00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 2>one million? He may have offered a billion dollars. I

210
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 2>mean matter, nobody's gonna get it. I saw this one too,

211
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>X and your boy Elon Musk. For all you Austinites

212
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>up there, X has a bracket challenge, and I don't

213
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 2>know if you inted night. It's too late to enter

214
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 2>right now. You had to do it by Thursday. If

215
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you pick a perfect bracket, you will win, could win

216
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a chance to go to space, a trip to Mars

217
00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>on SpaceX's starship at a future date. A trip to Mars,

218
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.879
<v Speaker 2>not trip just up in the atmosphere to space like

219
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>we've seen all these celebrities do, not to the moon. No,

220
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.919
<v Speaker 2>you can win a trip to Mars on the surface.

221
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 2>It sounds cool, it sounds sexy, so much so that

222
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it here about three minutes of time

223
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>on my radio. But I want you to think about this.

224
00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>You just kicked a winner that is virtually impossible, if

225
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 2>not the word literally impossible. One point nine point two quintillion.

226
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.879
<v Speaker 2>You're probably going to be a superstar. You're doing the

227
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning America Today's show. You'll be on my show.

228
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh by the way, you also get a trip to

229
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 2>freaking Mars. May not be in your lifetime, depending on

230
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>how old you are, because I don't think we've had

231
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.679
<v Speaker 2>manned spaceflight to Mars right now. But that's not the question.

232
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>My question when I read this and thought about it

233
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>for a minute, do you want to go to Mars?

234
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm serious? Do you really want to go to Mars?

235
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.039
<v Speaker 2>How long would that take? What are you going to

236
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 2>do there? And would you ever come back? Just because

237
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 2>you you did something very cool and picked a winner

238
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>perfect bracket. So I guess the X folks thought about this.

239
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Because you have your choice. You could go to Mars

240
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>at some future date in your life, or you could

241
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>pick a two hundred and fifty thousand cash prize. Oh

242
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.759
<v Speaker 2>in a free year of Starlink sir. Oh, you can

243
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>also train like an astronaut for a day. Let me

244
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 2>help you out, people. I'm just I'm an advice guy,

245
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I really am. Take the freaking money. Take the freaking

248
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.919

249
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty thousand dollars on picking your perfect bracket

250
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>because the winning payout of picking sixty three phenomenal games.

251
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 2>If you put a quarter of a million dollars there,

252
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>or however you want to divide it up, you actually can,

253
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, buy out Eli Musk and Warren Buffett

254
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:44.679
<v Speaker 2>and make your own way to Mars. All right, quick

<v Speaker 2>poll here three four six twenty nine Texan, would you

256

257
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>three four six two nine to e x A N.

261
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>ex account high tech text and spelled the whole thing out.

262
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Just put Quartermilsky garf or hell yeah, I'm going to Mars.

263
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm jaded because I did have the opportunity years

264
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 2>ago to actually float in zero gravity. So although I

265
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>haven't been to space, I got to float in zero gravity.

266
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 2>It's it's cool. I mean, it's all that that's cracked

267
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>up to be. I mean, I have a lot of

268
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.759
<v Speaker 2>If you don't know what I look like, I have

269
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hair. It's all mine. It's and I'm

270
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 2>proud of it too. At my age, my hair floats

271
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in space, and actually you float in space if you're

272
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>not buckled into a Seatbill too. I got the opportunity

273
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>to go to NASA and get on what. I don't

274
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>think they do this anymore. It was called the Vomit Comet.

275
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 2>It was what a Cacy one five military jet that

276
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.679
<v Speaker 2>had all the seats removed and there was pads everywhere.

277
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 2>But this is how they train astronauts for weightlessness. They

278
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>take off from Ellington Air Force Space right down there

279
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 2>near NASA and Clear Lake, and they go over the

280
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Gulf of Mexico and they fly these parabolas. They go up, up, up, up,

281
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 2>up up up, and right at the top they go

282
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>down and as it hits the top and goes down,

283
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you experience weightlessness for like thirty seconds. And they keep

284
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 2>doing this. I spend the entire afternoon doing this, and

285
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>it was neat the first dozen times, and then it

286
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.159
<v Speaker 2>got kind of monotonous. But I don't know, maybe neither

287
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>here nor there. I have some video of it. It

288
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.279
<v Speaker 2>was pretty fun. I could say I did it, but

289
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm jaded. It's like, okay, well, I'm I got

290
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.759
<v Speaker 2>bored after an hour of going up and down and

291
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.799
<v Speaker 2>floating the hell of how long would it take to

292
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.159
<v Speaker 2>get Can someone research this over here? Can someone use

293
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.159
<v Speaker 2>chat GPT or somebody? How long would a trip from

294
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Earth to Mars peak? And when I get back? Would

295
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 2>I be the same age? Would people?

296
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Would?

297
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Would my kids be younger than me? It's it's it's

298
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>the whole you know, movie scenario three four six twenty

299
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.279
<v Speaker 2>nine Texans. Anyway, good luck on your march managics brackets.

300
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't I hope you didn't pick the longhorns to go

301
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.359
<v Speaker 2>all the way, you know, Gokoog's I gave you the

302
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:10.279
<v Speaker 2>phone number right over here. Let me I'll start this

303
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and I'll carry it over spring cleaning. Last week I

304
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.839
<v Speaker 2>talked about a number of different websites where you can

305
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>take your old devices, your phones, some laptops, another thing,

306
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 2>and you could turn them into cash. You could, Yeah,

307
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you could sell them on eBay. You could, but there

308
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>are other dedicated websites that will take them back, and

309
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>if it's in really good condition, they're going to pay

310
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 2>you money. Sometimes they'll pay you in gift cards or whatever.

311
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 2>But how about other types? People email me, well, that's cool, garth.

312
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>How about other types of devices? There's bigger things like

313
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I have a dishwasher? Am I supposed to get this?

314
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Or a washing machine or a refrigerator? Can I resell those?

315
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Well spring is pretty much here And chances are you've

316
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of e waste that you've gathered, and

317
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.559
<v Speaker 2>you've got computers, You've got printers and probably means you

318
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't you don't need them. But what are you going

319
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>to do? Do you have a gadget graveyard inside your home?

320
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.240
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people do. In my mind's called the garage.

321
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.279
<v Speaker 2>So let me give you a few tips before recycling

322
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>your device recycling. There's a number of things you need

323
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 2>to do people. I mean certainly when it comes to

324
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.079
<v Speaker 2>a smartphone, it has data. You need to wipe that

325
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.960
<v Speaker 2>big time before you sell it or before you donate it.

326
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>You need to back up anything you want off the device,

327
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 2>which means to send the information up to the cloud

328
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 2>your iCloud, your one Drive, Google Drive, whatever it is, photos,

329
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>your videos, your songs, your contacts. At that point, it's

330
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 2>relatively easy do a factory reset. Go to settings about

331
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.599
<v Speaker 2>phone factory reset. I do this on a regular basis

332
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 2>because companies send me phones to test. I upload all

333
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.799
<v Speaker 2>my personal stuff. Thirty days or so later, they want

334
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the phone back. I factory reset it, so all my

335
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>information is gone at that point. Then you decide where

336
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.400
<v Speaker 2>do you want to recycle your phones and appliances. I

337
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>got all that information, but I'm gonna make you hang on.

338
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 2>It's called commercial break, It's called the teas. I've been

339
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 2>doing this twenty plus years. I'd like to think I've

340
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.200
<v Speaker 2>got the hack on it. It is Michael Guardful, High

341
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Tech Text and Show. We'll be right back for the

342
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:31.079
<v Speaker 2>answer and more information to that topic in the hower.

343
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I know why you've been hanging on because I tease

344
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>a little something a how to and where to recycle

345
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 2>your phones and ampliances. By the way, I told you,

346
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a big weekend loights of stuff going on. This

347
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 2>is if you're a longtime lister of mine, you know

348
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 2>this is the first weekend of March madness, and you

349
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.319
<v Speaker 2>probably know where I am. It's unbelievable radio right now

350
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 2>because you never really know where the host is because

351
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>with technology you could be pretty much anywhere.

352
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Now.

353
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.559
<v Speaker 2>When I started this gig twenty almost twenty five years ago,

354
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 2>we had to be in a studio, and what started

355
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.799
<v Speaker 2>out as clear channel radio now iHeart radio in major

356
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 2>cities is certainly the ones that I'm in right now

357
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 2>with Houston, San Antonio in Dallas. We have several studios

358
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that we can go into. We have engineers, and we

359
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.680
<v Speaker 2>have people who we look across through the plate glass

360
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and I could look at my man Callum Read and well, hey, guys,

361
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 2>how you doing. They're the one who's pushing the buttons

362
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>and keeping me right now on the air. Nowadays, you

363
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.759
<v Speaker 2>really don't need to go into studio. There's good microphones.

364
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 2>You can have a home studio. You could do it

365
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.319
<v Speaker 2>from your laptop. Technically, you could do it from your

366
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>phone if you've got a good quality microphone and everything.

367
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Right now, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening live from

368
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.799
<v Speaker 2>you know it, Las Vegas. Thirty six year I have

369
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.240
<v Speaker 2>been here, and there's a tradition unlike any other. Thirty

370
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.119
<v Speaker 2>six or so years ago, me and a number of

371
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>college buddies, eight other college buddies, by the way, we

372
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 2>got together and we decided, hey man, we're just out

373
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.839
<v Speaker 2>of school, and you know, we don't have a ton

374
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 2>of money. Let's all eight of us are nine of us.

375
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.119
<v Speaker 2>We stay in one room in Vegas and go watch

376
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>all the basketball games and bet two bucks on them. Well,

377
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>that tradition has now carried on well over three decades,

378
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's something special. It's something I share about. It's

379
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.920
<v Speaker 2>something I tell a lot of people, a lot of

380
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>my other buddies, and they're like, oh, man, I wish

381
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I would have started something like that. That's cool. Well,

382
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 2>there's no reason you can't start it right now. But

383
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're ever going to get well

384
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>over thirty years, forty years or whatever. But it is fine.

385
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 2>So we always come out this very first weekend of

386

<v Speaker 2>time of year because it's spring cleaning. So go online.

444
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:33.039
<v Speaker 2>It's x Wood Shows t E x wood shows dot com.

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.200
<v Speaker 2>You can just get more information. But free admitting, free

446

<v Speaker 2>parking on a Sunday afternoon. What are you gonna do?

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 2>me and help me mop and vacuum some things side

449
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 2>far Home and Garden show Berry Center. We will see

450
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.000
<v Speaker 2>you there. I will give you my phone number. Nah,

451
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.519
<v Speaker 2>hold on, I don't want to confuse anything. Let me

452
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:51.200
<v Speaker 2>let me, let me continue talking. I've already made you

453
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>wait five minutes. I was on the subject of recycling

454
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 2>your phones, appliants and gadgets. You got a lot of

455
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 2>old stuff. You're doing some spring cleaning right now. Number one,

456
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:04.839
<v Speaker 2>if you're ever going to recycle or sell a phone

457
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>or a laptop, would you do me a favor Just

458
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.559
<v Speaker 2>wipe your device, clear it, factory reset it. If for

459
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 2>some reason you just want to donate it and you're

460
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.119
<v Speaker 2>not sure, don't laugh. I've seen this happen. Take your

461
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:23.400
<v Speaker 2>laptop or take your phone and go find someone if

462
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 2>you don't have the gear and get an actual drill,

463
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>get a drill bit and drill through the hard drive

464
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.759
<v Speaker 2>of that laptop or so, because that will disable it too.

465
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll recommend it. That's probably step two or

466
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:43.839
<v Speaker 2>step three that I would say. But there's a way

467
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>to factory reset everything. Certainly in your phone is very easy.

468
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>But at that point, what do you do? There are

469
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.839
<v Speaker 2>places that will recycle and repurpose and potentially gives the

470
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>new life to your old technology. There's stores that you

471
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>can walk into best Buy and Staples. I think best

472
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Buy takes a wide range of tech products, and you

473
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 2>know they will. I think they offer a whole away

474
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.880
<v Speaker 2>option for even larger appliances. So if you have a dishwasher,

475
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 2>a freezer, a big TV, maybe a treadmill or exercise bike.

476
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe they do. I don't think it's free. I

477
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.200
<v Speaker 2>think it may and I'm just researching over here. It

478
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:24.359
<v Speaker 2>may cost two hundred dollars or so. I know. I

479
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>know that's a lot. But what you can recycle best

480
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Buy does take TVs and cables and chargers, projectors, laptops,

481
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 2>hard drives, and I'm reading right now, headsets, vacuums, speaker systems,

482
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.960
<v Speaker 2>alarm clocks if you still have an alarm clock. Staples,

483
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.119
<v Speaker 2>let's move to the Staple actually has free recycling options

484
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 2>for old technology. I think they do have haul away

485
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 2>options that may cost but Staples accept up to seven

486
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.599
<v Speaker 2>items per customer per day. I don't know why they

487
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>put a limit of this thing. But you could take

488
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>in digital cameras, mobile phones, cordless own computers, tablets, webcams,

489
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>home depot. I'm on their website right now. They'll show

490
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>you how to dispose of like batteries and old paint man.

491
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I have some old pay man. I need to read that.

492
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's see US Environmental Protection Agency. They don't handle recycling

493
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 2>or drops off drop offs. Go figure you know why,

494
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know the government has probably fired everybody

495
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 2>who works for the EPA. Oh look at me getting political. Uh,

496
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.119
<v Speaker 2>But they're smart. There's smart. Let's see. Here's a website

497
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 2>smartphone recycling. You can print a free FedEx shipping label,

498
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>a request a recycling kit. Okay, that's pretty cool. Recycling

499
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 2>for charities is that a website? That is a website?

500
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Go to Recycling for Charities dot com. They accept tech

501
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 2>donation and they give a percentage of the device's value

502
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 2>to the charity of your choice. I guess you can

503
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 2>write that thing off too. Here's one called call to

504
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 2>recycle with a number two Call to Recycle? What am

505
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I missing? Give me a shout? Three four six twenty

506
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.599
<v Speaker 2>nine Texan. What what do you have hanging around just

507
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 2>top of mind? What do you have hanging around your

508
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.519
<v Speaker 2>house that is just ready to go? I know my

509
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:17.000
<v Speaker 2>parents right now, who probably are not listening. They are

510
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas. They sometimes do listen, but they have a

511
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>refrigerator that has been dead for five months, and they

512
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>have been trying to work with Best Buy, who has

513
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.640
<v Speaker 2>been screwing them around. They are living, they have lived

514
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 2>for five months. I gave them a plug in schooler

515
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 2>slash freezer, and it's just it's it's like one of

516
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.359
<v Speaker 2>those portable things you take to a soccer game. That

517
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.319
<v Speaker 2>is where because best buys jack them around some muchs.

518
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't replace it. All these warranties. They have a

519
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 2>warranty too. Somebody put a haul off this refrigerator my parents.

520
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 2>But you have something like this. Listen, it's spring twenty

521
00:28:55.400 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. Do something, man, do something. I mean, wash

522
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>your dryers, treadmills, the least of which wipe it clean.

523
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Put it on sell it like you've got an old treadmill.

524
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.079
<v Speaker 2>You've got an old exercise bike. Put it on Facebook marketplace,

525
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 2>for example. You know something that you don't, someone locally

526
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>could pick it up. Don't laugh. It was about a

527
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>one year ago this week. It was the end of

528
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>March last year. I wanted a Peloton bike and the

529
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 2>hell if I'm going to spend what fifteen eighteen hundred

530
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>dollars in those things. I went to Facebook Marketplace. Somebody

531
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 2>was selling their Peloton bike that they used for no

532
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 2>list than I think five times, and I got it

533
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.880
<v Speaker 2>at a fraction of the cost. And they were about

534
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 2>five miles away from me. It's amazing. Which you can

535
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:40.599
<v Speaker 2>make some money people, And by the way, if you

536
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.400
<v Speaker 2>do make some money, consider me your source of you

537
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>know information, feel free to drop me a commission. I'm

538
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.160
<v Speaker 2>more than happy to give you my VENMO Michael Garf.

539
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Garfield is the last name. Bottom of Actually, what we

540
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.319
<v Speaker 2>got about with ten more minutes left to go in

541
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:55.839
<v Speaker 2>this top what do we want to talk about? You

542
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about these projectors? Hey, if you're giving

543
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 2>away a TV, do you buy a new TV? Well,

544
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you an option. You may not ever

545
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>need to buy a TV. Projectors may be the way

546
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 2>to go. I talked about this two months ago when

547
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I came back from CEES because I see these new projectors.

548
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Just earlier this week I was on Fox seven and

549
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Austin I did my segment on how to pick a projector?

550
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>What are some of the best projectors out there? Because

551
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:23.279
<v Speaker 2>they are relatively inexpensive and they are portable. You can

552
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 2>go inside, you can go outside. All you need is

553
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>just a big Blend Walt projector.

554
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 4>Off We talked about that. On the other side, I

555
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:53.119
<v Speaker 4>TechEd out some show.

556
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Final a few minutes of our first hour of what

557
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>we call the High Tech Texting Show. But as you know,

558
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 2>if you listen for the first fifty minutes or so

559
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 2>of this hour, I think we've talked about technology at

560
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 2>ten percent of the time, we've talked March Badness. A

561
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:01.799
<v Speaker 2>next hour to talk about recipes. What have you been doing?

562
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Are you sitting on your couch right now, one ear

563
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 2>listening to the show, but two eyes watching March Madness

564
00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>basketball in the second and third rounds? Actually what the

565
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.319
<v Speaker 2>third and fourth rounds?

566
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Give me?

567
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 2>If you have time to call talk to me people,

568
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it's an interactive show three four to six twenty nine Texan.

569
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Or send me a photo of what you're looking at

570
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.839
<v Speaker 2>right now, or your favorite snack. Next actually the start

571
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 2>of the next step when we hit halfway to happy

572
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.240
<v Speaker 2>hour at about ten twelve minutes, I'm going to talk

573
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>about your favorite snack for March Madness and how so

574
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 2>many people are hopping on the bandwagon of using a

575
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 2>pun of sports and basketball this time of year. Brackets,

576
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 2>undefeated dip recipes, shoot for a winning menu. Okay, we

577
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 2>get it, we get it. But speaking of undefeated dip recipes,

578
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean literally buffalo chicken dip. I mean, is there

579
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>any other standby? We'll get to that. I talked about

580
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.200
<v Speaker 2>projectors right now. If you're watching on a TV, how

581
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>big is your TV? Right now. You got buddies over,

582
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you got some friends, you get your family. You really

583
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to gather around to forty two inch maybe

584
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a fifty five inch TV. If that's all you got,

585
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>that's all you can afford. Cool. I appreciate that nowadays

586
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:18.359
<v Speaker 2>flat screen TVs seventy five inches, eighty five inches, Yes,

587
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they're flat screen TVs that are over one hundred I

588
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>thinky are about one hundred and ten hundred and twenty inches.

589
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Saw those a few months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show.

590
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Very expensive, pretty heavy, But I have a dang big

591
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:31.759
<v Speaker 2>space to hang that thing, probably about four people to

592
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:33.880
<v Speaker 2>hang it and hope it doesn't fall off the wall. Well,

593
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:37.119
<v Speaker 2>there's another option. And I talk about this every few months,

594
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.680
<v Speaker 2>but it reminded me because last Monday, if you're listening,

595
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.839
<v Speaker 2>if you happen to be in Austin, if you're listening,

596
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I was on Fox seven in Austin seven to forty

597
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.359
<v Speaker 2>five in the morning. That's where I do my segment

598
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>as the Tech contributor. I showed out some projectors. They're

599
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>projectors because home projectors it's an inexpensive way to get

600
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:03.680
<v Speaker 2>a massive image that's potentially bigger than any TV and

601
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:09.119
<v Speaker 2>these projectors they can create a bright, colorful image. And

602
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:13.359
<v Speaker 2>nowadays most of them have built in streaming services Netflex,

603
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:17.359
<v Speaker 2>something like that Prime. You can watch movies, you can

604
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 2>watch TV shows pretty much anywhere your living room, or

605
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you can move it outside, backyard, movie night with friends

606
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.880
<v Speaker 2>and families. Most of these models they have speakers inside.

607
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, can they get easier to set up? I

608
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think so. Remember, I mean I had a projector

609
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 2>once had to have a company come mounted on the ceiling,

610
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of home theaters do this too. If

611
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 2>you have a theater in your home and you want

612
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 2>to watch movies, there's one that you can mount on

613
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:48.799
<v Speaker 2>the ceiling and then you have to wire speakers to

614
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>it and it throws out about what one hundred and

615
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty inch hundred and fifty inch which is what twelve

616
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 2>thirteen fourteen fifteen foot screen. That's pretty cool. They're expensive too,

617
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you have to have professional installation. No more people. I

618
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>have two or three right now that I continue to

619
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 2>play with, and I'm like, I should actually hire myself

620
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:15.159
<v Speaker 2>out to go to people's houses and throw indoor outdoor

621
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>sports watching parties or movie night with the kids. First

622
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:21.679
<v Speaker 2>time I ever did this. When my kids were young,

623
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.880
<v Speaker 2>we had it. We had a pool previous house and

624
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the garage, our white garage outdoor wall was right next

625
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 2>to where our pool was. And at nights I would

626
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 2>set up a old school projector and they were pretty big,

627
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:36.079
<v Speaker 2>pretty bulky, and then I have to get another speaker,

628
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:39.519
<v Speaker 2>and then I would set up on a DVD to it,

629
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:41.159
<v Speaker 2>and then I would you sit there and we would

630
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.360
<v Speaker 2>watch Disney movies for the kids. But it was pretty

631
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:44.800
<v Speaker 2>cool because the kids were in the pool and they

632
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>were watching the movie. It's fun. It's a great family outings.

633
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 2>But you don't need to slip all that gear nowadays.

634
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Nowadays you just need a projector. So point is. I

635
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>showed off a few on Fox seven, two of which, well,

636
00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you some. I'll give you some brand new

637
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 2>right now. Specifically, not that I recommend one over the other,

638
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:04.519
<v Speaker 2>but I'll just throw them out there. When was a

639
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 2>company called the Yabe or why ABR. I picked this

640
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 2>one up a few months ago. Actually they let me

641
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:12.480
<v Speaker 2>play with it about two months ago. This thing, I

642
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 2>think is three hundred dollars, that is it. It is Boom

643
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:20.119
<v Speaker 2>ten eighty T speaker built in all you need to

644
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.920
<v Speaker 2>do is just give it a source. Now, if you

645
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.480
<v Speaker 2>have YouTube TV, because these things are Wi Fi and able,

646
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 2>you could plug a HDMI, Google TV or a fire

647
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.039
<v Speaker 2>stick in there. You're set to go. It receives it.

648
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:38.599
<v Speaker 2>It throws out a really really good picture. And depending

649
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.960
<v Speaker 2>on how close or how far you place that projector

650
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.719
<v Speaker 2>to the wall or to the screen, it makes the

651
00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 2>projection larger or smaller. And some of these, now, if

652
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 2>you get it to the perfection was I mean, you

653
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:56.239
<v Speaker 2>can get these things till one hundred and twenty one

654
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty inches again, that's fifteen feet. That's how

655
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.320
<v Speaker 2>you celebrate and watch march madness. Am I right? Am?

656
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I right? People, one shining moment. That's what you need

657
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to do. Now, there's a lot of them out there.

658
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 2>There are LCD projectors, there's d LP, there's HD there's

659
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 2>four K. There's a lot of them out there. Another

660
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.960
<v Speaker 2>one that I've been testing it is from a company

661
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:23.880
<v Speaker 2>called x Genie and I'm gonna spell it. It's x Gimi.

662
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Now I've had this one for several months and I

663
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 2>like this one because this is incredibly portable. It looks

664
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.760
<v Speaker 2>like a can of pringles, a little larger and fatter

665
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:34.360
<v Speaker 2>than a can of pringles. But it's got a carrying

666
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:36.320
<v Speaker 2>case in there. It's got a remote control. All you

667
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 2>do is plug it in, but it pops up and

668
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 2>and again. Go to Austin Fox seven. Actually I put

669
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.239
<v Speaker 2>it on my here you go, go to my website

670
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Hi tech Texin dot com Hi g h T e

671
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.000
<v Speaker 2>h T e x a M scroll down to the video.

672
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 2>The latest video I uploaded was my Fox seven segment

673
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:57.519
<v Speaker 2>this past week where I showed off these projectors and

674
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.440
<v Speaker 2>you can see it. You just kind of twisted open.

675
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:03.119
<v Speaker 2>It's a bright light. It's really it shines well. It

676
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.840
<v Speaker 2>weighs less than three pounds. It's got a speaker inside,

677
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're set to go. Number you can there's a

678
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 2>number of them you can choose from. What do you

679
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 2>look for? Do you want ten ADP? I would suggest

680
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 2>ten EIGHTYP at least now ten ADP is not four K.

681
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:22.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a difference, all right. You want to look for

682
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:26.719
<v Speaker 2>something that has you know, good color accuracy, lend shifting.

683
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 2>You may want one that has what's called a very

684
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.760
<v Speaker 2>short throw and these are pretty cool. These are more expensive.

685
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:38.559
<v Speaker 2>If you plan to use a projector that you do.

686
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:40.199
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to move it. You want to make

687
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.519
<v Speaker 2>it in your home theater. Let's just say you want

688
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:45.079
<v Speaker 2>to make it as your main TV screen, or if

689
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you will, but I'm not gonna call it a TV.

690
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Or if you have a very small room. If you

691
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:50.800
<v Speaker 2>have a small room and you can't move a projector

692
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.239
<v Speaker 2>ten fifteen feet back, you want to get what's called

693
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a short throw, meaning you place this projector incredibly close

694
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to the wall you're projecting it of. Some of them

695
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 2>can get as close as eight to nine inches away.

696
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.960
<v Speaker 2>But what it does, It throws the foe. It throws

697
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:13.559
<v Speaker 2>the video almost straight up, and and it just it

698
00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.800
<v Speaker 2>so it doesn't look skewered in anything to make it

699
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:21.519
<v Speaker 2>look like a real video. It's phenomenal. Now these things

700
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:23.920
<v Speaker 2>run more. These things maybe eight hundred. You can get

701
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>one for fifteen hundred dollars or so. They've got good speakers.

702
00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.599
<v Speaker 2>There's one another. There's another company called ben Q be

703
00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 2>in the letter Q. They have one called the X

704
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.840
<v Speaker 2>five hundred. I that's not cheap. But these are short

705
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:41.159
<v Speaker 2>throws and the s and it looks great. Last point,

706
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the darker the room, the better, without a doubt, because

707
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 2>obviously all this is is light projecting on a wall.

708
00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:52.639
<v Speaker 2>So yes, if you can get away from windows, if

709
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 2>you can have curtain darkening curtains, things like that. If

710
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to do something out at night by the pool,

711
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 2>do that. I may a little tough to show it

712
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 2>in the plight of days seeking outside with the boys

713
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:06.280
<v Speaker 2>watching it from bears. But a number of things to

714
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.639
<v Speaker 2>choose from. So check out my website, my tech text

715

716
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 2>some tips and you can see at least two of

717
00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>them that I have at on set Box seven hospitting

718
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.000

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:21.440
<v Speaker 2>mind actu. Our number one is over when we come back.

720
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:30.639

721
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:33.039

<v Speaker 2>snack is at the top of your bracket for watching

<v Speaker 2>your hope, your team wins, Hope your bracket wins. Michael

888
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Garfield is the name and talk about smart speakers right now.

889
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:51.760
<v Speaker 2>You know I do a lot of smart home talk

890
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and smart speakers. That's an easy gateway. It's a nice

891
00:49:55.679 --> 00:50:00.320
<v Speaker 2>simple entry way into making your home relatively smart. You

892
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:02.480
<v Speaker 2>can go buy one of these things. They some of

893
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:05.079
<v Speaker 2>them cost as little as twenty five dollars. Some of them,

894
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, have video screens that you can place in

895
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.960
<v Speaker 2>your kitchen, dishto it to watch TV, where you talk

896
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.920
<v Speaker 2>to it, it answers it back. And there's there's everything

897
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:16.199
<v Speaker 2>from and I hate using these keywords, and I hope

898
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I really don't set off a lot of your smart speakers,

899
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:22.159
<v Speaker 2>but everything from Google to Alexa, to Siri to it whatever,

900
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:25.239
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a number of them. And this is where

901
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:28.679
<v Speaker 2>they had that wake up word. And Amazon was the

902
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:31.039
<v Speaker 2>pretty much the first to market with those in the

903
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:33.960
<v Speaker 2>home category, and they had the Amazon Echo devices where

904
00:50:33.960 --> 00:50:37.599
<v Speaker 2>they said Alexa, what time is it, what's the weather

905
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:41.760
<v Speaker 2>or whatever? And a lot of people you probably forgot

906
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:44.719
<v Speaker 2>about it. Maybe you ask it for some recipes, maybe

907
00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 2>you ask it to play games. There's there's a number

908
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:50.960
<v Speaker 2>of different things, just almost too many to count. But

909
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:53.239
<v Speaker 2>I was going through a list and cause somebody asked me,

910
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:54.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what do I use my smarts? I have

911
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:57.880
<v Speaker 2>several different smart speakers. I have some from Amazon. I

912
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>have several from Google because I in I have. They're

913
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.079
<v Speaker 2>on different levels of my home, in different rooms, and

914
00:51:03.079 --> 00:51:06.119
<v Speaker 2>so I can I can test, I can compare, so

915
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I know some of the features that are better than others,

916
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and so I can review and give the nice information

917
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to you. But there are some things that Number one,

918
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:16.920
<v Speaker 2>let me suggest that you could do. I mean, you

919
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:19.920
<v Speaker 2>could say timers, you just talk to it. These are

920
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.239
<v Speaker 2>voice controlled. You could tell it to play your favorite podcast.

921
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:26.159
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, right now, right now, here's something

922
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you should do. You should tell your smart speaker to

923
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:37.440
<v Speaker 2>listen to me right now over your smart speaker, because

924
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.960
<v Speaker 2>right now you may be listening through your phone through

925
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app, which is which is great. We love that.

926
00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:46.239
<v Speaker 2>But how about this. Try this go to in and

927
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to use the wake up boards, so

928
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna use hey blank, which could mean the A

929
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:53.800
<v Speaker 2>word for Amazon or the G word for that other

930
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:56.119
<v Speaker 2>big company like that. Okay, so I want you to say,

931
00:51:56.239 --> 00:52:03.559
<v Speaker 2>hey blank. Listen to KPRC nine radio on iHeartRadio. That's

932
00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:07.199
<v Speaker 2>in Houston. If you're in San Antonio, hey blank. Listen

933
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to news radio twelve hundred WOAI on iHeartRadio. If you're

934
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas, listen to talk Radio eleven ninety on iHeartRadio.

935
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Do it right now. It will start streaming. This way,

936
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.639
<v Speaker 2>you can blast it all over your house, all over

937
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:24.760
<v Speaker 2>your room. That's one of the things. They try it

938
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:30.280
<v Speaker 2>right now again, Hey blank, listen to whatever local station

939
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.679
<v Speaker 2>you're on on iHeartRadio and it'll start playing. That's that's cool.

940
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Here's another thing you could do. You know, you can

941
00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.320
<v Speaker 2>find your phone. If you can't find where you're placed

942
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:43.119
<v Speaker 2>your phone, you can ask it. Try try the one

943
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:46.760
<v Speaker 2>with Google. Hey blank, starts with the g find my

944
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:50.440
<v Speaker 2>phone and what it's gonna do. It's gonna cause your

945
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:54.320
<v Speaker 2>device to ring for about thirty seconds. And if you

946
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.280
<v Speaker 2>have several devices lengked, you do need to specify which

947
00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:01.159
<v Speaker 2>one you want to locate. So this does work with iPhones, androids, tablets,

948
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:07.679
<v Speaker 2>and some accessories too. Pretty cool. You could use it

949
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:09.639
<v Speaker 2>as an intercom. I like this one. See I have

950
00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:12.840
<v Speaker 2>three I have three floors in my home, and if

951
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the top floor, and I guess I haven't

952
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:16.199
<v Speaker 2>used this in a while until you know, one of

953
00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:17.800
<v Speaker 2>my kids moved out. But if I was on the

954
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 2>bottom floor of my office or the off one, and

955
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I have several different devices all over the house to

956
00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:26.440
<v Speaker 2>relay a message, and instead of yelling like you know,

957
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:30.159
<v Speaker 2>my parents dead, Hey Mike, oh dead, n you don't

958
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:36.519
<v Speaker 2>need to do that anymore, so you say, hey blank,

959
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:42.000
<v Speaker 2>announce it's time to leave right now. You can also

960
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.400
<v Speaker 2>even even if it's the A word, I actually did this,

961
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:47.639
<v Speaker 2>if someone can give you permission to do this to

962
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:49.280
<v Speaker 2>another one. Like my parents are in Dallas and I'm

963
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.880
<v Speaker 2>in Houston, and we each have the Amazon Echo device,

964
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:55.800
<v Speaker 2>which starts with the A word. You know what I'm saying,

965
00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:59.320
<v Speaker 2>you actually can. It's called drop in, So I can say,

966
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:03.440
<v Speaker 2>hey blank, drop in on parents, and that's why I

967
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:05.280
<v Speaker 2>call it, and I then all of a sudden, you

968
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:09.480
<v Speaker 2>in their house. Their speaker goes boop, so they can

969
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:11.440
<v Speaker 2>know someone's listening in, and then I can start talking.

970
00:54:11.480 --> 00:54:14.440
<v Speaker 2>You don't even need a phone, So these speakers actually

971
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.320
<v Speaker 2>were speakers work well. Also, they can help you go

972
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:21.679
<v Speaker 2>to sleep if you like a sound machine or a

973
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:24.519
<v Speaker 2>wave machine, which is interesting because you can buy those individually.

974
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:27.519
<v Speaker 2>If you have one in your in your bedroom or

975
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:29.400
<v Speaker 2>wherever you're gonna go take a nap or something, you

976
00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:35.039
<v Speaker 2>can say, hey blank, play white noise, play sounds of rain.

977
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:38.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's a number of different things that you

978
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.119
<v Speaker 2>could do. All right, So that's Oh, by the way,

979
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:44.199
<v Speaker 2>a little fun tip from Michael. We got some not

980
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:47.239
<v Speaker 2>so good news. Let's go back to Amazon. Amazon just

981
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:53.760
<v Speaker 2>announced this. They're getting ready to launch and Alexa Plus service. Okay,

982
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:58.079
<v Speaker 2>that's what it's called. And before we do that, Amazon

983
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:03.119
<v Speaker 2>is requiring owners to send all of their voice data

984
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:07.239
<v Speaker 2>to Amazon and put it up in the Amazon Cloud. Okay,

985
00:55:07.440 --> 00:55:10.000
<v Speaker 2>now there's an issue with that in my opinion. Here

986
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.039
<v Speaker 2>we go. It starts on March twenty eighth, and if

987
00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:16.679
<v Speaker 2>you own an Echo smart speaker or some of those

988
00:55:16.679 --> 00:55:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Echoes show smart displays, you will no longer have the

989
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:25.119
<v Speaker 2>option to block voice command recordings from being sent to

990
00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Amazon now keeping voice recordings local, which means right on

991
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:33.840
<v Speaker 2>your machine. To me, it's an important privacy feature for

992
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:38.280
<v Speaker 2>any voice assistant. I'm not sure what Amazon's doing by

993
00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:40.559
<v Speaker 2>removing it. See removing it to me raises serious questions

994
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:44.440
<v Speaker 2>about what Amazon is listening to. I'm not accusing Amazon anything.

995
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to use this as more of a news

996
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:48.079
<v Speaker 2>thing than throwing my own thoughts in over here. But

997
00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:51.679
<v Speaker 2>take it for what it's worth. If you didn't even

998
00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:54.880
<v Speaker 2>know about these privacy settings before. You've probably been a

999
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:58.920
<v Speaker 2>little worried about voice assistant privacy overall. There's a lot

1000
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:02.199
<v Speaker 2>of the majority amount of people have privacy concerns adding

1001
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:06.079
<v Speaker 2>all of these more AI features to these home voice assistants.

1002
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:11.440
<v Speaker 2>So what do all these Alexa voice recording settings do?

1003
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Amazon's new concern this news concerns two specific privacy options

1004
00:56:18.239 --> 00:56:21.679
<v Speaker 2>for its Echoes and Echo shows there is a feature

1005
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:25.360
<v Speaker 2>here called do not send voice recordings, and there's another

1006
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:29.559
<v Speaker 2>one do not save voice recordings. They can be found,

1007
00:56:29.559 --> 00:56:31.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's not easy to be found. Go deep inside

1008
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the settings of your Alexa app or Echo device settings.

1009
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:38.599
<v Speaker 2>They're there for now, but on March twenty eighth they're gonzo.

1010
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Amazon's going to be removing they do not send voice

1011
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:47.280
<v Speaker 2>recordings option, which means all recorded voice commands are automatically

1012
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:49.599
<v Speaker 2>going to be sent to Amazon for processing and analysis.

1013
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:56.159
<v Speaker 2>So Amazon, is it going to be able to listen

1014
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:59.679
<v Speaker 2>to whatever that you tell Alexa? Everything Alexa records when

1015
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it or is it's weight word, Yes, it's automatically sent

1016
00:57:03.519 --> 00:57:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to Amazon Cloud for processing. And Amazon's messaging to all

1017
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:10.719
<v Speaker 2>these owners now you know, says that it's going to

1018
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:14.280
<v Speaker 2>use this data to train to train Alexa Plus. It's

1019
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:18.119
<v Speaker 2>new service, so it can hold better conversations, understand why

1020
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.559
<v Speaker 2>people you know do things you know, and give them

1021
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:24.239
<v Speaker 2>more accurate, you know, answers as of March twenty eight

1022
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:31.760
<v Speaker 2>day and giving people a choice. Nope, some we just

1023
00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:34.639
<v Speaker 2>tied email. Our other Alexa privacy setting is going to

1024
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:38.239
<v Speaker 2>be effective well right now only they do not send

1025
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.880
<v Speaker 2>voice recordings and they do not say voice recordings option

1026
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:46.760
<v Speaker 2>appears to change on March twenty eighth. Other Alexa privacy settings,

1027
00:57:46.760 --> 00:57:49.159
<v Speaker 2>like their skill permissions. I didn't read anything about that,

1028
00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:54.079
<v Speaker 2>so they should be intact after this deadline. And why

1029
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:56.800
<v Speaker 2>are they doing it? Really, it's mostly about Alexa Plus.

1030
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:00.719
<v Speaker 2>They're launching this new AI up grade which is going

1031
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:03.199
<v Speaker 2>to be twenty dollars per month, or if you're an

1032
00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Prime it's free. Man, that's brilliant. Amazon really really

1033
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:13.920
<v Speaker 2>needs Alexa Plus to bring in more revenue hopefully more customers,

1034
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:16.760
<v Speaker 2>and so they're pulling out all the stops to prepare

1035
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:18.519
<v Speaker 2>for this big release that's coming out soon. In one

1036
00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of those stops I believe was the were the privacy

1037
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:24.639
<v Speaker 2>settings They need it to learn quickly and be and

1038
00:58:24.760 --> 00:58:31.239
<v Speaker 2>do well. Amazon says that encrypts voice data in transit

1039
00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:34.679
<v Speaker 2>between your local machine and the cloud. We hope it is.

1040
00:58:36.239 --> 00:58:38.239
<v Speaker 2>So what do you do? I don't know. Can you

1041
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:41.320
<v Speaker 2>stop your echo from saving voice recordings? Well, you're gonna

1042
00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:44.599
<v Speaker 2>have access to your privacy settings. However, Amazon made it

1043
00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:46.760
<v Speaker 2>clear that it's turning this setting on means voice ID

1044
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:50.159
<v Speaker 2>settings will not work. So at the end of the day,

1045
00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:52.440
<v Speaker 2>is their workaround? I can't think of it. The only

1046
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:55.239
<v Speaker 2>workaround I can think of is getting rid of Alexa

1047
00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:58.400
<v Speaker 2>going to Google. Now do I know that Google doesn't

1048
00:58:58.440 --> 00:58:59.920
<v Speaker 2>do the same thing or will they do the same thing?

1049
00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I do not know. This is an issue that we

1050
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.440
<v Speaker 2>have that I grapple with. But I tell you to

1051
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.039
<v Speaker 2>see if we could talk through this. But again, I'll

1052
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:10.519
<v Speaker 2>say it, some of the tech, a lot of the

1053
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.199
<v Speaker 2>technology we use it is great. It helps everything. People

1054
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:17.159
<v Speaker 2>don't like giving away their GPS, their information on their phone.

1055
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Well guess what if you don't turn on some settings

1056
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:21.880
<v Speaker 2>of your phone, your phone is nothing but a brick.

1057
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:24.960
<v Speaker 2>It does nothing. I use my map feature all the

1058
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:27.360
<v Speaker 2>time just to check out traffic, so I have to

1059
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:30.159
<v Speaker 2>let my phone know where I am. Am. I worried

1060
00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that somebody from Google or maybe Zuckerberg is gonna, you know,

1061
00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:35.920
<v Speaker 2>creep up behind me. It's some traffic light on you

1062
00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:38.400
<v Speaker 2>know Loop six' ten Your West timor road In. Houston,

1063
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:41.400
<v Speaker 2>no there's too many people who do who do, That

1064
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:45.159
<v Speaker 2>but you have to give some information to get back

1065
00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:47.280
<v Speaker 2>information that you. Want that's the way of the, world

1066
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that's the way we live right. Now you suck it,

1067
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:51.119
<v Speaker 2>up people now speak it of suck it. Up we're

1332
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:57.640
<v Speaker 2>potentially green and. Whatever but the way our the infrastructure

1333
01:12:57.640 --> 01:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>of charging and battery charging is in The United, states

1339
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:15.800
<v Speaker 2>hour hour and a half or more to charge the car.

1340
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Up but if you do drive on a local basis

1341
01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and you've got a charger at, home you've got a

1342
01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>charger at, work and all you do, is you, know

1343

1346
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>don't say that about a lot of cars THAT i drive.

1347
01:13:35.319 --> 01:13:39.760
<v Speaker 2>IN i was in A Dodge Charger, daytona and those

1348
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>generally are muscle. Cars but this the twenty twenty four

1349
01:13:44.079 --> 01:13:48.439
<v Speaker 2>version of The Dodge Charger. Daytona it was, electric that's.

1350
01:13:48.520 --> 01:13:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Right and it was the Scat Pack Track Package stage.

1351
01:13:52.239 --> 01:13:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Two for all you car nerds out, there six hundred

1352
01:13:55.760 --> 01:14:01.239
<v Speaker 2>and seventy horsepower zero to sixty three point three seconds

1353
01:14:01.439 --> 01:14:04.279
<v Speaker 2>does a quarter mile and eleven and a half seconds

1354
01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>ESTIMATED ev range on this one just about two hundred

1355
01:14:07.960 --> 01:14:12.479
<v Speaker 2>and Forty, good not, great so we'll call it. Decent Dodge,

1356
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>actually calls this the next era Of dodge muscle, cars

1357
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>and they say it's the world's quickest muscle. Car AND

1358
01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>i gotta tell. You WHEN i hit that launch, button

1359
01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:27.199
<v Speaker 2>and there is a button that says the word, LAUNCH i.

1360
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>WENT i didn't time at zero sixteen three point. Three

1361
01:14:29.800 --> 01:14:33.079
<v Speaker 2>but ALL i know Is i'm on the freeway AND

1362
01:14:33.399 --> 01:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>i was smushed back into that driver's seat and my

1363
01:14:37.960 --> 01:14:39.920
<v Speaker 2>hair almost was flown back. In the windows weren't even.

1364
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Open that's how fast it. Goes no less than nine

1365
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>cameras curb side, everything several different drive. Views the pickup

1366
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:53.479
<v Speaker 2>is absolutely. Incredible the fact is there's no. Sound it's.

1367
01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Electric but What dodge has done they created something very

1368
01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:03.119
<v Speaker 2>unique and it's. Patented it is what's called a frat

1369
01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:06.640
<v Speaker 2>sonic and they made up this word decades. Ago Frat

1370
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:11.319
<v Speaker 2>sonic chambered. Exhaust so in the bottom the back of

1371
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the car where the exhaust, is there's actually no exhaust

1372
01:15:13.680 --> 01:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>because it's an electric. Vehicle think about. It there's nothing

1373
01:15:15.800 --> 01:15:18.079
<v Speaker 2>to exhaust, out and there's no airtake that needs to

1374
01:15:18.079 --> 01:15:21.359
<v Speaker 2>come in because it's. Electric but it makes a, sound

1375
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and it makes a rumbling, sound and it makes a

1376
01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:28.359
<v Speaker 2>muscle car, sound and when you're inside it actually rumbles

1377
01:15:28.399 --> 01:15:33.359
<v Speaker 2>and vibrates the vehicle and all of. This It's. Hollywood

1378
01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:37.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not a speaker. System it's an patented. Chamber and

1379
01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:39.760
<v Speaker 2>if you think about, it it's like a pipe organ

1380
01:15:39.800 --> 01:15:42.680
<v Speaker 2>because pipe organ's worked with chambers and so as you

1381
01:15:42.800 --> 01:15:47.199
<v Speaker 2>hit the, accelerator what it does it just makes it

1382
01:15:47.640 --> 01:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>can create this sound that you can hear from the

1383
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:54.039
<v Speaker 2>outside and people behind you can my NEIGHBORS i certainly

1384
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>woke up one, morning but on the inside they've got

1385
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:00.159
<v Speaker 2>speakers so you can also. Hear and it, also oh

1386
01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>rattles the. Car it is a muscle car. Feeling it's

1387
01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:05.920
<v Speaker 2>a muscle car drive if you want it that, way

1388
01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:09.359
<v Speaker 2>because it also drives quiet as a. Bird that's one

1389
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:11.239
<v Speaker 2>of the neat. Things and that's what it. Is FAT

01:16:11.239 --> 01:16:13.079
<v Speaker 2>i got a lot of head. Turns. Now it's a
