00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demurro. Rich. Okay,

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>both Will and I got to know what is an

4
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>interactive restaurant? And tell us about the one you just

5
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 1>went and saw.

6
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I stayed out way too late last night going

7
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to downtown LA for this this place called the Gallery.

8
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 2>So this is a new restaurant that's kind of like

9
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:24.719
<v Speaker 2>think about like.

10
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:26.239
<v Speaker 3>A modern theme restaurant.

11
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>So it's a bunch of theme park designers that decided,

12
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let's do something kind of fun and different.

13
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 3>And so you go in.

14
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Not only is the bar really cool and it's got

15
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>all these little interactive kind of things going on in

16
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the background, but then you go into this dining room,

17
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 2>and in the dining room, they've got all these projectors

18
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>on the ceiling that are sort of hidden, but they

19
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>project things onto your table. And then of course the

20
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 2>walls all come to life as well. So while you're eating,

21
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 2>this was like appealing to the five senses. And so

22
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>they had like fire, I guess, not the senses, I

23
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>guess the world the earth. It was like dirt and

24
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>fire and water, and so the whole room comes alive

25
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>with this sort of different theme depending on what you're eating.

26
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and what were you eating?

27
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>All kinds of stuff. I couldn't you know, it's it

28
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>was all like five course meals. So it was a

29
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of like the first one was like the one

30
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>it was like a solid served on a bed of

31
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>dirt and it was I mean, it looked like dirt.

32
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 3>It was not dirt.

33
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>But the whole point of this place is that it's

34
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>sort of interactive and it's a sensory experience. The dinner

35
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>theme is elementa. But here's the deal. I predict that

36
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 2>this place will be rented out by a lot of

37
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>companies because because of the design of the room, it's

38
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>very tech forward, Like the whole thing can kind of

39
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>be it can take on different looks. So I imagine

40
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>like if you're premiering a movie or a new album,

41
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>you can transform this room to kind of fit what

42
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to do. And I think that's the true

43
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:56.879
<v Speaker 2>magic of it.

44
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, cool, it was the food good.

45
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Food was good.

46
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, I didn't try the duck, but everything else

47
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I did try and it was it was good.

48
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's move on to scams. Because man, they're coming

49
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>up everywhere. I just got several messages on my phone

50
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I got to ask rich about this.

51
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Where I got texts and the text appears to be

52
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>from Microsoft. It says Microsoft someone else might have accessed,

53
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and then it shows like the asterisks and a bunch

54
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of those and then the last two letters or numbers

55
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>of my email address, and it says you can recover

56
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>at And I'm like, no.

57
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, I've been getting yep, yeah, a lot of

58
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>people getting that one. Be careful, a lot of people

59
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 2>getting that one. For sure, that one's trying to steal

60
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>your Microsoft log in. But there's just so many these things,

61
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>just NonStop all.

62
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Day, every day.

63
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And what I talk about on my radio show is

64
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 2>that the scam artist do something that's very similar to

65
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 2>what we actually get from a company. So they take

66
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>that actual Microsoft confirmation text or fraud alert text and

67
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>they kind of re engineer it right to be scammy.

68
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>So it looks the same, it reads the same, but

69
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 2>the link that you're getting is not the right one.

70
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>So just be very careful look at who these things

71
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>are coming from. And if you don't expect them, you know,

72
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit spidy sense, like, okay, I didn't

73
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>really try logging in what's happening here?

74
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay?

75
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And then over on the phone side, you know, like

76
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>when I get a phone call, sometimes it says spam risk.

77
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.039
<v Speaker 1>When I don't recognize the number, I'm not sure if

78
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I should pick up or not. But you have a

79
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 1>way to detect spam calls.

80
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that one, you know you can safely not pick up.

81
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>But as any parent knows, if you've got kids, you can't.

82
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>Even if it's a number you don't recognize, you kind

83
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 2>of have to pick it up just because you know

84
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>who knows. And that happened to me once my kid

85
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>broke his arm, and it's like, I should I pick

86
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 2>up this phone call?

87
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Should I not? Thankfully I did.

88
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But I tried this new thing where basically I got

89
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>a call I didn't know if it was a scam

90
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>artist or not. Is from the Bank of America credit

91
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>card Verification Department, sounds very official, And I said, I

92
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>think this might be a scam. So I pressed the

93
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>little recording icon on the iPhone and I said, this

94
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>call will be recorded, And all of a sudden, as

95
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 2>soon as it announced that to the call boom, the

96
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>person hung up. So I was like, oh, this must

97
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 2>be a scam, So I posted this to my Instagram.

98
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Many people have tried it since, and I'm getting lots

99
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>of reports that it almost works like a charm every

100
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 2>single time, And I think it might even work for like,

101
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 2>if you just want to get off the phone with

102
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>like a telemarketer, just press that. Once they hear that,

103
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>they don't want to be on the recording.

104
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good, good to know. And then I'm having issues

105
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>with my DVD. But this is a different thing. There's

106
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>something called disc rot.

107
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just basically wanted to say that because I've

108
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>never heard of disc rop.

109
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 3>But I understand.

110
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you've got old tapes around the house,

111
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>like those are definitely at risk of like going bad,

112
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>so definitely get those digitized. But DVDs are supposed to

113
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>last like one hundred years. But apparently there was some

114
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>manufacturing issues with Warner Brothers Home entertainment discs like these

115
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>are you know, movies from two thousand and six to

116
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight, so they're failing prematurely, which means

117
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>people are putting them in their drives and they're not loading.

118
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>They're freezing while they play, or they just don't play

119
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>at all. And so Warner Brothers apparently is aware of this.

120
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>You can get in touch with them. They will either

121
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>replace the disc and if they can't get the disc anymore,

122
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 2>they will give you a title of similar value. So basically,

123
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.879
<v Speaker 2>if you've got Warner Brothers movies that are a little

124
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 2>bit older on DVD, put them in your DVD player

125
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>if you still have one.

126
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, who still has this thing?

127
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I have a DVD DVD player but it doesn't work.

128
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean in La, look where, you know, it's

129
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a movie city, so people probably have more than other places.

130
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>But check them out. Make sure you don't. You don't

131
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 2>want disc rot to ruin your day.

132
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I know. And you can hear Rich say disc rot

133
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 1>and so many other things when you listen to him
