I really don't think that's it 91 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.680 to me. It could be the NFL. Listen, they've infiltrated 92 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.360 every aspect of our lives. It could be just a 93 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.480 good promotion that all of a sudden, these drones are gonna, 94 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.240 you know, start forming, you know, a live score of 95 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.439 what's going on with the cowboys in the Houston Texans gamp. 96 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.240 I just I don't have an actually idea, but I 97 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.759 bet you do.

Actual Saturday afternoon in 162 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:57.320 NFL football, the the here's a little trivia question for it. 163 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.799 Did you know that it is it's a law. It 164 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.919 literally is a law that NFL games cannot be played 165 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.960 on Friday nights in all of Saturdays from the second 166 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.240 week of September through the second week of December. Now 167 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.519 that we are past the second week of December, Saturday 168 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.799 NFL games could be played. And it goes back to 169 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.840 nineteen sixty one. I want you to look it up. 170 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.200 See I don't listen. I have a BS degree really 171 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.360 doesn't stand for bachelor or science. But I want you 172 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.440 to believe me on this one. Okay, it is absolutely true. 173 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.919 This is why now NFL games are on Saturday afternoons 174 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.120 right now, and they're gonna be there for a while. 175 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.799 But it's it's really it was to protect and back 176 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.320 in nineteen sixty one college and high school games, and 177 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.679 so that's the way they get around it. So whatever 178 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.960 your favorite team is, and I know we have a 179 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.000 lot of Dallas listeners, We've got Houston listeners. San Antonio, 180 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.360 I want to hear from san Antonio. By the way 181 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:01.159 you are you are you a Cowboy fan, a Texans fan, 182 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.159 maybe a Saints fan or anything else and a totally 183 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.159 growing up in Texans. And it seems like San Antonio 184 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.600 is a cowboy city. I don't know why. It's maybe 185 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.279 because out of the Oilers left back of the day 186 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.360 and there was no Houston team for a while, and 187 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.480 it took a while for the texanstead ofally to gain traction. 188 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.759 But it seems to me Dallas with the San Antonio city. 189 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.519 But San Antonio, I love your Alamodome. You got the 190 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.200 Alamo Bowl. I know you wanted it an NFL team 191 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:29.679 back in the day, which is why you built the 192 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.639 Alamo Dome. And so it's a big city. Man, it's 193 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.919 like the ninth most populous city in the in the country. 194 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.080 Let's let's get an NFL team in San Antonio. What 195 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:44.080 would the San Antonio NFL team name be? Again? Another question? 196 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.799 So I can hear from you. Three four six twenty 197 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.919 nine Texan three four six two nine t e x 198 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.200 A N. My name is Michael Garfield.

You've got mail, 206 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.840 all right? This is from Jonah. Jonah actually is in Bernie, Texas. 207 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.639 A new listener listening on WOAI twelve hundred. Appreciate that, 208 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.320 Dear Michael, just picked up your show. It sounds good. 209 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.559 Love your energy. But I got a question about this. 210 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.360 My wife and I share the same computer at home. 211 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.120 It's a desktop computer, and so I wanted to go 212 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.240 online shopping. How every time I start searching for things, 213 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.840 I get advertisements that are served up on Facebook and 214 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.720 everywhere else, so she could see what I've been looking 215 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.559 for so so much for my surprise. Is there a 216 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.559 way to hide everything that I search for so she 217 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.919 has no clue of what I'm looking for to get 218 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.240 her for the holidays. That's from John. A very good question. 219 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.480 I like that, and it's actually a very good point. 220 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.759 Do you ever wonder why when you search for something, 221 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.039 or even when you talk about a subject and you 222 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.559 think you probably are right, that your phone is listening, 223 00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:17.000 and all of a sudden you get advertisements that pop 224 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.639 up on Facebook, on Twitter, on your websites. Wait a minute, 225 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.279 that's uncanny. I was just talking about that. How is 226 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.600 there an ad being popped up? Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome 227 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.279 to the world of the digital age. When you search 228 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.039 for something, there's little tiny cookies for lack of a 229 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.000 better term, which is technically what they're called, that know 230 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.240 what we're searching for. Don't think Amazon is not a 231 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.279 multi billion billion dollar company by just hey, thanks, we'll 232 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:47.639 take your order and we'll leave it at that. They 233 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.759 know what you're searching for, they know what you're shopping for, 234 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.600 and they're going to give you some suggestions of pretty 235 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.840 much almost the same thing, the same category or a 236 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.279 competing you know, you know, a type of product. That's 237 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:04.919 how the advertising works. They're very smart, I say they, 238 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.240 But that's that's what they're Maybe it's the drones that 239 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.679 we're smart. I don't know, but it's a very good question. 240 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.200 If you use the same computer and you say browser, 241 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.600 and somebody is shopping or searching from searching for something 242 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.879 on that computer, the next time anybody else gets on 243 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.120 the same computer, you're probably gonna get some ads that 244 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.519 are popping up. So if you're searching for jewelry something, 245 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.440 you know what's gonna happen. Oh my goodness, how come 246 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.039 I'm seeing all these watches, I'm seeing all these ear rings. 247 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.759 It used to be so much easier to hide presents 248 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.759 because you could stash those behind doors and the back 249 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:44.440 of a closet and hiding in suitcases or whatever. But 250 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:46.840 online shopping is where we are right now, and it's 251 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.480 very convenient, but also can spoil the surprise by accident. 252 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.759 It's a digital footprint. It's a digital footprint that we 253 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.000 leave when browsing items online, and it follows us across 254 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.559 the Internet, showing up as ads in browsers or maybe 255 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.039 on our social media fees. But breaking news, I am 256 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.200 here to tell you there are some ways to hide 257 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.200 these digital footprints and keep your gift a surprise. Let's 258 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.519 start with this Number one. You need to use incognito 259 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:23.360 mode or private browsing, So follow me here. If you 260 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.639 use something like that, it's a way from whatever you 261 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.000 search for that does not follow you around the Internet, 262 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:36.120 because these browsers are designed to not track things, including 263 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.240 all the websites that you visit. And since it's not 264 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:44.679 tracking whatever you're visiting, it won't actually advertise the sweater, 265 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.080 the tennis years, whatever you bought for your partner, for 266 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.879 your kids, or whatever, and you don't need to download 267 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:51.559 anything to use it because it's a feature in the 268 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.440 browser that you're probably already using. For example, if you 269 00:15:55.559 --> 00:16:00.840 use the Chrome browser, go check out incognito mode. You 270 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.320 open your Chrome browser, you go open the navigation bar, 271 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.399 and you look for the word file. Okay, pull down 272 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.759 the file menu, and right there it's gonna say new 273 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:15.000 incognito window. And then you use the browser as you 274 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.600 normally would. If you use Safari. For all you mackers 275 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:24.080 out there, open Safari, click the file button and you'll 276 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:29.600 see something that says new private window. Oh, use the 277 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.759 browser like you normally would. There you go do things 278 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.759 like that, and then Jonan, I appreciate that email. What 279 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.399 you need to do at that point, you could just 280 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.759 shop all you one. By the way, if you want 281 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.440 something from me, my favorite color is purple or boord orange. 282 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.360 I'm a medium and just send it here courtesy the 283 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:49.240 High Tech text that I'm here for you. Any questions 284 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.679 you want, Michael at hi Tech Textan dot com give 285 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.279 me a call right now three four six twenty nine 286 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.480 Textan got a call over here. I see on the callboard. 287 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.120 Wanted to know, so, uh, we'll get to this after 288 00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:05.839 the break, Michael, my kids are worried. Is TikTok really 289 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:10.720 getting banned? Oh there is a deadline. I see something 290 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.400 in January. Maybe the reason I never got on TikTok 291 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.960 probably the only social media I'm not on. I will 292 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.920 tell you what the delio as much as we know 293 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.079 right now. If TikTok is going to be banned within 294 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:25.000 the next few weeks, stand by it is the high 295 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.440 tech piction. 296 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:56.119 Sure playing holiday music. There's anybody now tell them you're 297 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.039 in charge of this stuff? 298 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.160 Would go we can't license it because we're too cheap 299 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.720 of a radio station. Is that what it is? What 300 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.079 happens if I sing? If I if I start singing 301 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.119 fa la la la la, am I gonna get fined 302 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.279 by our bosses? Or is you know it? I mean 303 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.440 it's not the FCC just I don't know. We need 304 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.000 to figure this out, man. It's all about music, baby. 305 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.240 Come on the time of year, you know, I gotta 306 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.839 tell you this. This This may be the year I 307 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.400 have heard the Mariah Carey song as least amount I've 308 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.480 ever heard it. I may have heard that all I 309 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:37.079 Want for Christmas, Wie.

I do not know 314 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.599 what's going on. Michael Garfield. This is the high Tech 315 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.279 Textan Show. I hope everybody is doing well wherever you 316 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.960 are listening terrestrially, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas. If you're listening 317 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.640 to us on iHeartRadio, we do thank you for not 318 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:03.559 only downloading, but upgrading and updating your app. iHeartRadio, by 319 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:09.039 the way, just upgraded it's app. Not that it was wrong, 320 00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:12.200 but there's always improvements. Some really neat features. By the way, 321 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.519 let me go ahead and tell you it was a 322 00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.480 big refresh. It's got some neat features that bring the 323 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.200 best of live radio to your phone. First thing you'll 324 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.920 know you're on the new iHeartRadio app if the first 325 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.559 thing you see at the top are free sets. I 326 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.279 guess what the smart folks at iHeartRadio did. They said, 327 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:32.720 let's see if we can mimic what the car radio 328 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.279 used to. Well, still looks like there's preset channels you 329 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.559 could save up the fifteen favorites at the top of 330 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.839 your screen, and number one you need to add the 331 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.519 high Tech Textan show. You need to add KPRC nine 332 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.480 fifty am. You need to add WAI twelve hundred, and 333 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.279 you need to add KFXR the Mighty eleven ninety in Dallas. 334 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.759 So go ahead and just put all those on there. 335 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:57.640 That's a little tip for me to you. There's a 336 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:01.319 scan button. Remember the old school car radio. There's a 337 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.559 feature on that that you scan through live stations to 338 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.519 see what's playing. That's pretty cool. There's a live radio dial. 339 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.279 It shows nearby radio stations based on your location wherever 340 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.559 you open the app, which is pretty cool. It's nice 341 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.160 for discovering new stations when you're traveling. Whatever I see here, 342 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.000 it's got what's trending, what's new and hot across stations, 343 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.119 and playlist and this is nice. It's got a lyrics 344 00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.559 button right now so you could sing along with live radio. 345 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:29.799 Lyrics are now displayed for a lot of the songs, 346 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.599 because the worst is is you start like mouthing like 347 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.920 you think you know the lyrics, but you're singing the 348 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:39.319 wrong lyrics. All that on the big update of the 349 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.119 iHeartRadio app. How about that pretty cool stuff. I'll give 350 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.319 you the phone number here. We got questions if you 351 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.079 have a last minute holiday questions Michael, I need to 352 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.920 get this, or what's my favorite bourbon?

They're kind of fun. We took one 360 00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.599 cruise way back in the day when my kids were younger. 361 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.240 They're they're in they're all twenties right now. And I'll 362 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.640 say that, and this is not an advertisement. I'm not 363 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.319 even gonna tell you which cruise line. It doesn't matter 364 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:35.000 because I'm just just generally own for pound. When you 365 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:40.680 have a family, I think cruises are the most efficient. 366 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:48.680 And I'm not gonna say cost saving, but easiest way 367 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.240 to travel and it can save you a ton of money. 368 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.680 And I say this from a dad who flew his 369 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:01.440 family out somewhere every summer growing up, and we usually 370 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.319 went to California. We usually went to southern California, so 371 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.920 we would buy you know, five tickets. You know me, Mom, 372 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.880 three kids. We would rent a house at a beach, 373 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:18.480 go shopping groceries. Then we evidably we would end up 374 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.680 eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One kid wants this, one 375 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.960 kid wants this, the other kid wants this. It was 376 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:27.039 just it adds up. You go on a cruise, man, 377 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.400 mom and dad can do one thing and you could 378 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.599 just kiss your kids, could buy They're gone. Depending on 379 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.440 what age they are, they can eat almost twenty four 380 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.079 to seven. They got the freaking chicken nuggets, they get 381 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:41.279 the Macardi and cheese, they get the buffets, they got 382 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.359 a kid's area, they got whatever, and you pay and 383 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:49.000 it's like pretty much almost all included. Cruises are fun. 384 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:51.960 When I went to we went to the Bahamas. This 385 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:54.480 was this was a business cruise, by the way, Seriously, 386 00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:58.599 was went a cruise food to Miami, went to the Bahamas. 387 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.720 Whather wasn't that eight by the way, But this was 388 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.319 like one of the largest ships I've ever been on. 389 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.960 It's like seventeen levels, had a shopping mall, had an 390 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.920 ice skating rink. I can't make this stuff up. Had 391 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:16.759 a zip line, It had a one of these surfboard 392 00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:18.839 things where you can get our surfboard and it creates 393 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.799 waves to pretend like you're surfing. Had like the Central Park. 394 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.920 It at the park you can walk through on a ship. 395 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.720 It was. It was amazing. A lot of cocktails too. 396 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.680 It was very fun. So theway, just just give you 397 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.519 an idea of what to do. I'm not the I mean, 398 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.480 I'm not the I'm not the biggest sailor top Dilligan 399 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:35.920 type of guy. But I thought that was pretty fun. 400 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.640 So anyway, if you follow me on social media, and 401 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.680
