Speaker 1: Is Michael garfil Michael Garfield.
Speaker 2: Michael Garfield's joining.
Speaker 3: Us in the high Tech Texan.
Speaker 1: Michael Garfield is.
Speaker 2: Here with a high Tech Texans items to make life.
Speaker 1: Easier, some new technology.
Speaker 2: So Michael Garfield has something you might want.
Speaker 1: Michael Garfield is your high Tech Texan. Three decades helping
Speaker 1: you make magic with your gadgets. Heard worldwide on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio Act. Now your high Tech Texan, Michael Garfield.
Speaker 2: Perhaps our final show while our great country is still standing,
Speaker 2: or at least not as divided as it will be
Speaker 2: this next week. What you think I'm talking about? The election? People?
Speaker 2: Time to set your clocks back one hour this weekend.
Speaker 2: Come on. That to me is one of the most
Speaker 2: divisive topics and subjects that we have in the United
Speaker 2: States of America. Do we like setting the clocks back?
Speaker 2: I actually love it. I am in the minority. I
Speaker 2: love it as a guy who likes to run outdoors,
Speaker 2: but who hates doing it in the heat of the summer.
Speaker 2: Hurting dark earlier means that I can run outside earlier
Speaker 2: because it's getting a little bit colder. I like the cold.
Speaker 2: That is me. I know I am not in the
Speaker 2: popular vote, but that's the way it is divisive. Anything
Speaker 2: else going on this coming week, I didn't think so. Oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, you may want to get out and vote.
Speaker 2: It is Michael Garfield. I do thank you for hanging
Speaker 2: around for two fun hours. No matter if you're listening
Speaker 2: to this plausibly live. We do repeat it a few
Speaker 2: times over the weekend KPRC nine to fifty am. That
Speaker 2: is terrestrially all over southeast Houston. If you happen to
Speaker 2: be in a truck driving around up and down, I ten,
Speaker 2: I forty five, you're just passing through Houston. I've done
Speaker 2: this for two decades. Don't be afraid. It's called the
Speaker 2: high Tech textan show. I'll talk about any darn thing
Speaker 2: that I want to, especially Halloween people, How was your Halloween?
Speaker 2: The greatest holiday of the year? Hands down? I know
Speaker 2: it comes close to Russia shown our yum kaport. When
Speaker 2: else can you go door to door to strangers, knock
Speaker 2: on the door and say, gimmeish some candy and they
Speaker 2: just give you a candy. Give you candy. By the way,
Speaker 2: how come I have not yet received any ess from
Speaker 2: my dear listeners. Here we're in the Galleria area, you
Speaker 2: could look up. iHeartMedia. You just put a little care package,
Speaker 2: I say, Michael Garfield, I know you're a Reese's fand
Speaker 2: I don't need the sugar. My kids are too old
Speaker 2: to trigger treat. But then again, is anybody really too
Speaker 2: old to trigger treat? First? Open up phone line question today?
Speaker 2: How if trigger treats came to your house? What is
Speaker 2: the roughly oldest age that you think a trigger treater was?
Speaker 2: You think anybody was in their twenties? You think anybody
Speaker 2: was in their twenties seven one, three, two, one two,
Speaker 2: five nine five. Though, Calum Reid, he's on the other
Speaker 2: side of the class. He's gonna pick up your phone. Calum,
Speaker 2: you're in your twenties. Yeah, your day, did you go
Speaker 2: trigger treating?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: You did not. Uh. I wanted to borrow a kid
Speaker 2: supervised of course, which would I guess legally semi legally
Speaker 2: technically give me allow me to knock on the door
Speaker 2: and say, gimmr's arm candy. Uh A last I had
Speaker 2: some visitors in town, so did not do that. But
Speaker 2: next week, actually maybe today fifty percent off for more
Speaker 2: of the unsold Halloween candy. Chocolate was expensive this year.
Speaker 2: People chocolate was XP. I don't know it was Hershey's
Speaker 2: got a you know they've just you know, the big
Speaker 2: chocolate just got together and say, hey, man, I need
Speaker 2: to start charging some more stuff. By the way, I
Speaker 2: will probably hit my Walgreens and CVS's and my Agbs
Speaker 2: and my Kroger's and get a little fifty percent off
Speaker 2: while they're clearing the shelves. Probably not for Christmas, but
Speaker 2: probably for Easter already. We do have a number of
Speaker 2: interesting things to talk about. If you are into video
Speaker 2: blogging recording some video. One of the most important things
Speaker 2: to remember is Number one, you gotta get a good camera,
Speaker 2: all right, so get it. Get an Android, potentially a Samsung.
Speaker 2: Number two, you want lighting. Lighting is very key too,
Speaker 2: And I learned these things when I majored, so you
Speaker 2: should trust my majored in Radio Television Film at the
Speaker 2: Great University of Texas at Austin. But another thing is sound.
Speaker 2: You need good sound. You do not want to stand ten,
Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen feet away from your microphone. It doesn't sound,
Speaker 2: doesn't turn out well. You need a good microphone. Got
Speaker 2: a I've been trying a wireless microphone. Wireless is the
Speaker 2: way to go. These things can receiver pops into your
Speaker 2: any phone, yes, even you're Apple, the Android whatever it
Speaker 2: is range as well. Some of them are pretty inexpensive.
Speaker 2: Some of them can get up there. Next segment, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give you kind of my play by play about
Speaker 2: that there is a relatively inexpensive new TV battery powered
Speaker 2: TV that you can take and carry anyway, good anywhere,
Speaker 2: good for outdoor camping. Have an interview at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the ear with that. If you're into electric vehicles,
Speaker 2: do you have an electric vehicle? While odds are in
Speaker 2: your garage? You may already have and an electric charger, Well,
Speaker 2: how do you decide what type of electric charger that
Speaker 2: you want? In most cases you need an electrician professionally installed.
Speaker 2: Later this hour, I'll talk about a product that I've
Speaker 2: been testing. Next hour. If you are a cooker, a griller,
Speaker 2: or a smoker, a lover, a toker, there is another
Speaker 2: thing I've been playing with. It is a pellet grill,
Speaker 2: my very first pellet grill called Briskit love the name
Speaker 2: of it, and I'll give you my quick reviewing thoughts
Speaker 2: on that. Other than that, we may have some things
Speaker 2: to give away and you can call kill some time.
Speaker 2: You can find me on all of the social media.
Speaker 2: Most of all the social media, high tech text and
Speaker 2: high tech t e X A N. I will get
Speaker 2: my Apple News out of the way. For all of
Speaker 2: you with Apple and you have downloaded the latest operating system.
Speaker 2: You have been promised this for a month or two
Speaker 2: or three. It is here Apple iOS eighteen point one.
Speaker 2: If you've got the upgrade, the new Apple AI feature
Speaker 2: is here. They call it Apple Intelligence. That's really not
Speaker 2: what AI is called, but they're going to go with that.
Speaker 2: It is there for your iPhone fifteen Pro all of
Speaker 2: your iPhone sixteen models if you do upgrade to the
Speaker 2: new operating system. Bottom line, it lets you rewrite text,
Speaker 2: summarize emails, it'll let you clean up photos. There's an
Speaker 2: improved series. It's all built in to your devices. Exit
Speaker 2: existing apps. Apparently, there's some new colorful animations, privacy protections
Speaker 2: and all that other fun stuff. Real quickly, how do
Speaker 2: you activate it? Check your phone model. You do need
Speaker 2: an iPhone fifteen Pro or Promax or any iPhone sixteen.
Speaker 2: Congrats iPhone sixteen ers, you finally got into the game
Speaker 2: because you charge your phone with the USBC. None of
Speaker 2: that lightning cable crap. All that's number one. Number two,
Speaker 2: you do have to update your phone to the latest
Speaker 2: version of the operating system. It's iOS eighteen point one.
Speaker 2: You go to your Settings, then General and then Software
Speaker 2: Update and then check for the latest update in eighteen
Speaker 2: point one is going to give you the Apple Intelligence.
Speaker 2: Then you have to activate it. You see, man, this
Speaker 2: just you Apple guys. Means you gotta jump through hoops
Speaker 2: to activate it. Then last step, I promise you go
Speaker 2: to Settings, then you'll see something called Apple Intelligence, and
Speaker 2: then you just toggle the switch on. Now it might
Speaker 2: take a few hours to get access. Your phone's going
Speaker 2: to send you a notification when it's ready. Can you
Speaker 2: tell me if it works? Because I have a SAMSI,
Speaker 2: so listen, I have Samsung one plus I've got a
Speaker 2: lot of phones. There is some sort of an AI.
Speaker 2: It's not called Apple Intelligence, it's artificial intelligence on there.
Speaker 2: I think it works pretty well. I don't use it extensively.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of it as of right now. Slowly
Speaker 2: but surely I will become probably we all should becoming
Speaker 2: a little bit more afraid of AI. But if you
Speaker 2: do want to try it, all you new iphoners. Again,
Speaker 2: you have to have a fifteen Pro, fifteen Promacs or
Speaker 2: any of the iPhone sixteens. You got to update it
Speaker 2: and then you're set to go. You tell me how
Speaker 2: it is, hey, when we come back, how and what's
Speaker 2: the process and what are some of the better wireless
Speaker 2: microphones to record the crisp, clean audio, especially if you're
Speaker 2: a TikTok or a blogger, a vlogger, an instagrammer. I
Speaker 2: played with a very very nice, semi expensive one. There
Speaker 2: others out there. I'll give you my thoughts on that.
Speaker 2: Then after that we'll talk a little TV's your questions,
Speaker 2: because that's how much fun we do it. On a
Speaker 2: first November weekend of twenty twenty four, set those clocks back,
Speaker 2: we get an extra hour. It is Michael Garfield. Don't
Speaker 2: go to sleep on any This is a very I
Speaker 2: do things a little differently. I was the original influencer
Speaker 2: Whenni plus Year's Baby. I was the guy who was
Speaker 2: doing tech reviews to my TV my radio show before
Speaker 2: anybody else. And so I'm creative and I do things
Speaker 2: a little bit different. I am actually right now testing
Speaker 2: a microphone or wireless microphone, because I test these things
Speaker 2: in so many other tech devices gadgets on a regular basis.
Speaker 2: So what I have done, I am actually talking right
Speaker 2: now via a recording that I have done with a new,
Speaker 2: relatively new type of wireless microphone. We're playing it right now,
Speaker 2: but I'm in studio, and when we come back for commercials,
Speaker 2: I will be live again because I will take and
Speaker 2: answer your calls. And the reason being is I want
Speaker 2: to see if anybody notices the different in the audio quality.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine at a wireless microphone actually replacing a
Speaker 2: regular live radio iHeartRadio, a real radio station microphone. Do
Speaker 2: I sound different? No? I think I sound sexier. I
Speaker 2: have been playing with a microphone, wireless microphone system from
Speaker 2: DJI DJI. All right, what do you think of when
Speaker 2: you hear the initials DJI? Will you think of drones?
Speaker 2: Maybe you think of gimbals, you think of cameras. They
Speaker 2: actually have for several years they've had a wireless microphone system,
Speaker 2: and they're on their second version, and a wonderful pr
Speaker 2: person within DGI not too long ago they let me
Speaker 2: play with the second version. It's called the DJI Mike two,
Speaker 2: Mike two, and it's called Mike even though my name
Speaker 2: is Michael. It's called the MIC two. I do not
Speaker 2: know why they don't endorse or re sponsor my show,
Speaker 2: but maybe we'll get to the head because I actually
Speaker 2: do very much like this system because I think it
Speaker 2: sounds great and is one of the easier wireless systems
Speaker 2: to use to record. Now listen, I record on a
Speaker 2: regular basis. I record my radio show, I record interviews,
Speaker 2: and I'm doing more and more videos. I do my
Speaker 2: Instagram high tech texting. And one of the most important
Speaker 2: things is sound when you're doing videos. All of you
Speaker 2: video bloggers out there, all you young kids, and listening
Speaker 2: to me, one of the most important things. And I
Speaker 2: learned this because I'm a radio television film major. I
Speaker 2: have a degree in this, and we'd spent months and
Speaker 2: months in semesters and semesters of how to light a studio.
Speaker 2: Lighting is very important, but sound is very important. The
Speaker 2: types of microphones is that omnidirectional. It can goes on
Speaker 2: on and on. The dj I mike too. It's one
Speaker 2: of the simplest microphones to pair up. It comes to
Speaker 2: different configurations. The battery life is that's really nice. And
Speaker 2: the wireless link in terms of how far away you
Speaker 2: can get from. The receiver is good, it's long, it's
Speaker 2: overall top to bottom versus a lot of the competitors
Speaker 2: out there, Roady and Sure and everything else. I like
Speaker 2: this lot bottom line right out of the box. There's
Speaker 2: three different configurations the DJ mic too. You can get
Speaker 2: it with two transmitters, one receiver, and the charging case.
Speaker 2: What's the top of the line. That's the big KNA
Speaker 2: that is gonna run you if you just looked through
Speaker 2: at the dji dot com website's gonna run you about
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars. You can get the MIC
Speaker 2: with one transmitter and one receiver, and then you can
Speaker 2: get with the transmitter only. I do a lot of
Speaker 2: interviews for me. I always say go ahead and get
Speaker 2: two transmitters when you're looking and when you're buying these
Speaker 2: white wireless microphones across the board, because they're gonna give
Speaker 2: you more versatility with the interviews. So the case, this
Speaker 2: charging case inside of you, it's really compact. It's about
Speaker 2: the size of god gosh, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean certainly you can hold in the hand. It's
Speaker 2: very light. The charging case comes with both the transmitters,
Speaker 2: and it comes with the receiver. The receiver works on
Speaker 2: either a It's got a USBC plug which I use
Speaker 2: for my Android, and it also has the lightning plug,
Speaker 2: which are you iphoners out there, unless you have the
Speaker 2: new iPhones you're gonna use that. It's easy to pop on,
Speaker 2: it's pop off, see you and go back and forth.
Speaker 2: So you can let your buddy bar it, whoever has
Speaker 2: the Android, whoever has the iOS or or the iPhones
Speaker 2: that it works well. It connects via Bluetooth directly to
Speaker 2: your smartphone or connects obviously these transmitters to me, I
Speaker 2: tried both of them. I went ahead and I used
Speaker 2: these transmitters because when you're using these transmitters, you actually
Speaker 2: can see the levels of where the audio is. You
Speaker 2: could adjust it. Because on the receiver itself that pops
Speaker 2: into your phone, that connects to your phone, which is
Speaker 2: very light. You actually can have there's a dial that
Speaker 2: you can you know, use the game, check the decibels
Speaker 2: in a number of different other things. Works very very easily,
Speaker 2: very nicely. You pop the thing in. In terms of
Speaker 2: battery hours, each of these the receivers rated at about
Speaker 2: six hours, which is uh, it's good. There are a
Speaker 2: few others on the market, maybe that are rated for
Speaker 2: seven hours and eight hours, but to me, this one
Speaker 2: doesn't matter because for summary, I don't record six hours
Speaker 2: at a time, and if for some reason I need it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put these transmitters and the receivers back in
Speaker 2: the chargeable case, pop it in, and it's set to go.
Speaker 2: So technically you're gonna get about eighteen hours of total
Speaker 2: charging time because the charging case holds about two cycles
Speaker 2: of battery life, so that's not bad whatsoever. It's easy
Speaker 2: to set up, the recording called. The recording quality is
Speaker 2: very great. I talked about the words omnidirectional. A lot
Speaker 2: of you folks don't even care, don't even know what
Speaker 2: that is. But it does have an omni directual audio pickup,
Speaker 2: so it's gonna capture voices very easily. No matter where
Speaker 2: you're standing or where you're this sounds are coming in
Speaker 2: relatively the direction of the microphone that is on these
Speaker 2: trans on the transmitters. The transmitters are about one and
Speaker 2: a half inches and it comes in black and comes
Speaker 2: in white. I like the fact that they're relatively small.
Speaker 2: You can clip these things onto your shirt, on your
Speaker 2: blouse on your jacket. But it also has that magnetic,
Speaker 2: a very strong, powerful magnet, so you could put the
Speaker 2: magnet beneath the shirt beneath and then it clamps on there.
Speaker 2: And listen, I've traveled with this thing here for the
Speaker 2: last few weeks. I have not lost any of these things.
Speaker 2: These things, to me, they're really not going They're not
Speaker 2: going anywhere. The only thing that you need to remind
Speaker 2: yourself of if you're interviewing somebody, make sure when the
Speaker 2: interview is over, that person doesn't just walk off with
Speaker 2: that microphone transmitter still clipped to his or her shirt,
Speaker 2: because that's happened to be in the past years. That's
Speaker 2: happened to be a few times. So make sure you
Speaker 2: say thank you for the interview view and then have
Speaker 2: them give you back that the transmitter and you should
Speaker 2: be good to go. There is the built in microphone.
Speaker 2: I like the fact that you could be the chargers,
Speaker 2: the lights sometimes the little flashing green light. It's on
Speaker 2: the side of the transmitter. It's not right in front.
Speaker 2: Because one of the worst things to me, like when
Speaker 2: you're shooting video, you don't want your eyes to focus
Speaker 2: on what is that thing that keeps beeping and flashing
Speaker 2: right front, so it's on the side, so it's out
Speaker 2: of it's out of your line of sight, which is
Speaker 2: which is really nice too. This has several hundred feet
Speaker 2: I wasn't able to measure this exactly how many feet away.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying you're gonna stand at least
Speaker 2: a football field away. But when I do stand ups
Speaker 2: and I walk and talk on camera, like when I
Speaker 2: do it with my TV stuff, you know, without a
Speaker 2: I've never lost signal with this, And so you're gonna
Speaker 2: be able to actually, you know, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: wire up one of your kids who were playing soccer
Speaker 2: and you're gonna you shoot pretty close to the field
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get the ins and out of the
Speaker 2: ins and out of it. But one of the easiest
Speaker 2: things to me because and I know for you folks
Speaker 2: out there, you don't want to go through and read
Speaker 2: a lot of I want to set this thing up
Speaker 2: and how to pair. They come pretty much paired the
Speaker 2: transmitter and receiver right out of the box and right
Speaker 2: out of the case. So to me overall, this is
Speaker 2: one of the better systems I have tried in a while.
Speaker 2: This is really one of the first things that from
Speaker 2: DJI I've ever tried. I remember back in the day
Speaker 2: I tried to get drones from them, and you know,
Speaker 2: they were very tough to actually even get the media
Speaker 2: folks to play with some drones. But it was really
Speaker 2: nice to be able to play with this. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: keep testing this thing, put it through a few more ropes.
Speaker 2: But to overall, if you're looking here as the summer,
Speaker 2: you know, towards the end of the summer, you're traveling,
Speaker 2: you're doing more of these videos. You're trying to break
Speaker 2: into the business with the blogging or the video flogging things.
Speaker 2: Make sure when you shoot the light is good and
Speaker 2: the sound is good. And to me the DJI mike too.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty impressed with this thing so far. I will
Speaker 2: continue to test and as we go to the break,
Speaker 2: I will be back live taking your phone calls. You
Speaker 2: tell me how does this sound? Does this sound differ,
Speaker 2: does it sound better? Does it sound a little worse
Speaker 2: than normal? To me, I don't know. I'm getting thumbs up.
Speaker 2: I played this back before we played on the air.
Speaker 2: To me, I couldn't tell the difference. Michael Garfield, the
Speaker 2: High Tech textan show, check me out high tech textan
Speaker 2: dot Com, high tech text and Instagram and x uh.
Speaker 2: Then we'll take your call f live here as we
Speaker 2: come back back at it. Michael Garfield and running a
Speaker 2: high tech tection show. Two decades of telling you what
Speaker 2: to buy, where to shop and giving you some ideas
Speaker 2: of a brand you may not have heard of, and
Speaker 2: the other fun thing seven one three two one two
Speaker 2: five nine five zero. Number has not changed in two
Speaker 2: decades since we've been doing this. You know, one big
Speaker 2: category I continue to cover our TVs and monitors. I
Speaker 2: remember when the first high definition or the digital TVs
Speaker 2: came out back in what two thousand and one, two
Speaker 2: and three. They were big, they were expensive, they were heavy. Nowadays, man,
Speaker 2: there's outdoor TV, there's portable TVs. Uh and the prices
Speaker 2: are generally very very As you know, ran across a
Speaker 2: company that I was pretty unfamiliar with, but looking at
Speaker 2: their background, pretty solid. And I've actually been testing one
Speaker 2: of their smaller portable TVs out not for about a
Speaker 2: week or two. It's called Skyworth. Anyone anyone out there,
Speaker 2: raise your hands Skyworth. Well, I'm going to give you
Speaker 2: a little play by play about them, because we're going
Speaker 2: to talk to the director of sales for the company.
Speaker 2: His name is Michael Gleeson. Michael is joining me. Michael,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time for a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Big names in the world of TVs for decades and
Speaker 2: decades of not centuries. Skyworth. How long has that been around?
Speaker 2: And tell me about the company.
Speaker 3: Skyworth's been around since nineteen eighty eight. They're a public
Speaker 3: company on the New York Stock Exchange. There are a
Speaker 3: nine billion dollar company. They do business in over one
Speaker 3: hundred plus countries, forty thousand employees. Yet you're right, they
Speaker 3: haven't really done much of the US. Been in the
Speaker 3: US for eight years, mostly selling entry level lowervs. Going
Speaker 3: made a switch in the strategy and deciding to bring
Speaker 3: more innovative, kind of cool products to the US. And
Speaker 3: what's in your office right now is one of those
Speaker 3: products and thought processes.
Speaker 2: It's I was doing a lot of research of the
Speaker 2: company and you've got a number of different products that
Speaker 2: you're bringing to the market to lifestyle TVs. It's kind
Speaker 2: of how you categorize this things. How do you define
Speaker 2: lifestyle TVs? What would you say that is?
Speaker 3: It's really a product or a TV that fits the
Speaker 3: consumer's lifestyle, so what they do so right now sooners
Speaker 3: are spending a lot of time outdoors, on the go,
Speaker 3: doing a lot of traveling, whether it's on a plane
Speaker 3: or a road trip, and so a lot of our
Speaker 3: products kind of fit those lifestyles, less about in the home,
Speaker 3: but more about what they like in the home or
Speaker 3: what they like on the road. So we make some
Speaker 3: really cool outdoor TVs and full sun outdoor TVs. Matter
Speaker 3: of fact, in Houston, if you go to Little Woodrows
Speaker 3: in sugar Land, you'll find that there's ten outdoor TVs
Speaker 3: that look awesome at two o'clock in the afternoon. So
Speaker 3: those are some of the really cool products we have.
Speaker 3: And as you mentioned, we have a really cool portable
Speaker 3: TV as well.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to go back to the to the outdoors.
Speaker 2: I'm very familiar with the Little Woodrows that just opened
Speaker 2: recently because it's about three minutes from my home, because
Speaker 2: I am a Suregland resident. And it's funny. The outdoor
Speaker 2: TV thing is a neat segment. I've had a television
Speaker 2: in my backyard for many, many years, but it's been
Speaker 2: just a typical television and let me help you out
Speaker 2: with the climate in Houston, with the humidity, with the
Speaker 2: direct sunlight. The regular TV does not last long outdoors.
Speaker 2: It maybe a last in one or two seasons before
Speaker 2: the humidity, the dust and particles. Why are outdoor TVs
Speaker 2: or how are outdoor TVs made a little differently to
Speaker 2: withstand the elements? And why are they so much more
Speaker 2: important and better than a tip of the mounting a
Speaker 2: typical TV outside?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so first of all, they're really protected rugged. Ours
Speaker 3: is what's called it sixty six protection. That means no dust,
Speaker 3: no water gets in there. So you have a hurricane
Speaker 3: in Houston, we might be effected by the wind where
Speaker 3: it blows away, but the rain and the flooding won't
Speaker 3: harm are TV. The wind won't harm or on TV.
Speaker 3: The other cool thing about our TV is the brightness.
Speaker 3: The problem with outdoor TVs is if you take your
Speaker 3: phone and you go outside and it's in the middle
Speaker 3: of the sun, you can't see what's on your phone.
Speaker 3: You're always shading your phone. TV's have the same problem outdoors.
Speaker 3: So our TV's three thousand knits bright and it's our
Speaker 3: full sun outdoor TV. It's the brightest TV in the market.
Speaker 3: So it's really important when the sun's out, he still
Speaker 3: had this unbelievably great picture. And then the other cool
Speaker 3: thing about ours is that the glass itself is IK
Speaker 3: ten temper glass, which means that if you get a
Speaker 3: little bit of hailo in Houston and it hits the TV,
Speaker 3: it'll bounce off, including golf balls. We do a great
Speaker 3: demo at shows when we smack the TV, but it's
Speaker 3: really a rugged, over engineered TV for the outdoors. So
Speaker 3: at that bar we talked about in sugar Land, it
Speaker 3: can withstand all those elements and still show Houston, Texas
Speaker 3: playing on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Michael Glason not only he's the director of sales for
Speaker 2: Skyworth through Meteorologiest apparently lot you're talking a lot about
Speaker 2: the weather. Those are the outdoor TVs. In terms of
Speaker 2: indoor TV. These the one I've been playing with here
Speaker 2: for about a week or two. It is very unique.
Speaker 2: It's it's called the Companion, and it's a portable TV.
Speaker 2: And if people think about this TV as we kind
Speaker 2: of think about them, they haven't been too portable because
Speaker 2: they've been big and heavy. This bad boy weighs just
Speaker 2: a few pounds. You can plug it in and obviously
Speaker 2: it's it's it's as long as you can get kind
Speaker 2: of a wireless internet connection. It's it's priced very well.
Speaker 2: This is a pretty interesting line of TV that you launch.
Speaker 2: I'll let you explain it a little bit more in
Speaker 2: depth of companion.
Speaker 3: So it's a twenty four inch TV. It's got a
Speaker 3: nice little weather handle on the side here. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: for getting out of the frame here.
Speaker 1: But it's portable.
Speaker 3: It's got a three hour battery life on it. It
Speaker 3: could be charged from your home. I can also be
Speaker 3: charged from your car. Just needs sixty watts of power.
Speaker 3: You would just take a twelve vote to a mini
Speaker 3: plug and it would work. But the really cool thing
Speaker 3: is I'm dating myself, but you know, back when I
Speaker 3: was younger, we used to sell DVD TV combos and
Speaker 3: these little portable thirteen inch TVs that people would take home.
Speaker 3: The cool thing about this product is Google TV streaming platform.
Speaker 3: So all your content, thousands and thousands of movies. For me,
Speaker 3: it's the football package goes with you anywhere you go.
Speaker 3: All you need is a phone in a hotspot and
Speaker 3: you can get that content on the TV. So it's
Speaker 3: great for kitchens. I mean, there's no more kitchen TV.
Speaker 3: It's great for bathrooms, but really great for camping. Imagine
Speaker 3: taking your kids on a road trip and putting this
Speaker 3: on their lap and put the Disney channel on. You'll
Speaker 3: never hear. Are we there yet? It's really great for camping.
Speaker 3: As I said, tailgating, even outdoors in the evening you
Speaker 3: want to go on your deck and have some alone
Speaker 3: time watching a TV program, you can just pick it
Speaker 3: up and carrying it on your deck. Only weighs ten
Speaker 3: pounds or it's really light, and we do sell a
Speaker 3: case forward, so if you're going somewhere far and you
Speaker 3: want to protect it before you use it, you can
Speaker 3: do that. So it's really cool. The best part about
Speaker 3: a surprise and only retailers for four hundred dollars, so
Speaker 3: it's only a bargain when you consider all the uses
Speaker 3: of the actual product itself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first and it came to mind for me is
Speaker 2: probably my listeners right now are the tailgating. Obviously we
Speaker 2: live our tailgating here in Texas. The fact is, you
Speaker 2: know I used to go to and I still do
Speaker 2: go to a lot of tailgates, and you know, I
Speaker 2: see people slipping a satellite dish and a power generator
Speaker 2: to light up all their TVs. Everything. This has a
Speaker 2: built in battery. As you said, the last three hours
Speaker 2: which is pretty much the length of an NFL game
Speaker 2: to be able to wash it. And so I think
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty smart. As we're talking about. Styworth is
Speaker 2: the name of the company. One more thing before I
Speaker 2: let you go. I saw you're releasing some new or
Speaker 2: now and some new types of TVs out there, one
Speaker 2: of which kind of caught my eye is called the
Speaker 2: Canvas Art TV. Explain this.
Speaker 3: So this is our quan four K TV in your
Speaker 3: home to watch regular TV. Use it Google TV for streaming.
Speaker 3: But really it's about the art, and so we import
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty pieces of free art for the TV.
Speaker 3: So when it's off, you don't have a black box
Speaker 3: there that looks like a piece of ugly furniture. It
Speaker 3: has a frame around it, a wood frame, and then
Speaker 3: it features art from the Louver Museum, the Guggenheim, Newseum,
Speaker 3: oil painterns, modern art, over one hundred and fifty pieces
Speaker 3: of art to choose from that you can put on
Speaker 3: the screen as opposed to it's just being a black Box,
Speaker 3: and these are popular. They's been around for about six years,
Speaker 3: really popular. The other cool thing is ours are self enclosed.
Speaker 3: They operate just like a TV and they hang like
Speaker 3: a picture. Two little things on the side that hang
Speaker 3: just like you word any picture in your house.
Speaker 2: Then you get an art gallery that turns into a
Speaker 2: big TV. It's it's it's pretty, it's pretty smart. So
Speaker 2: it pieces the husband and the wife. I think maybe
Speaker 2: that's the smart way to put it.
Speaker 3: That is correct. Yes, probably if feeses the wife more
Speaker 3: than the husband.
Speaker 2: Yes, everybody. Everybody's happy. Thanks to Skyworth. Last question before
Speaker 2: we get you out of here. People are interested in
Speaker 2: getting these, where can they purchase? Where can they find
Speaker 2: Skyworth products?
Speaker 3: You can go to our website at SKYWORTHUSA dot com,
Speaker 3: but also check us out on Amazon. We have all
Speaker 3: those products on Amazon.

Speaker 2: wife happy for looking at art on a game all
Speaker 2: the way. Congrat your success and I appreciate your time.

Speaker 2: to you. You call them. I'm gonna go ahead, work
Speaker 2: the phones and we'll give that away to about ten
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds because people actually really do that. They do
Speaker 2: take credit cards? Should you not win? Parents? Do you
Speaker 2: let your kids?
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 2: You know? I get I got the question when I
Speaker 2: started this twenty plus years ago, Michael, what's the appropriate
Speaker 2: age to let your kids use cell phones? And? As
Speaker 2: a parent myself, it's a parenting decision. It's all individual.
Speaker 2: There is no set age. I mean it's is it eight,
Speaker 2: is it ten? Is it twelve? Is it sixteen? Is
Speaker 2: it till they could go to college? I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's people parent differently, and I'll let it to you. Listen.
Speaker 2: I don't mind. You know, younger kids using phones, I
Speaker 2: don't know. If I would give them a SIM card
Speaker 2: with a data service, I would put them on Wi Fi,
Speaker 2: I would supervise them, I would put a VPN on it.
Speaker 2: I would do a number of different things. That's one.
Speaker 2: At what point do you give your kids credit cards?
Speaker 2: At what point do you let your kids start purchasing
Speaker 2: things on an app store? I mean, these are these
Speaker 2: are other questions too. I'm gonna seguey this into phones
Speaker 2: now have the ability to be used as payment. There's
Speaker 2: Apple Pay, there's Samsung Pay, there's Google Pay, There's there's
Speaker 2: all these other things. I mean, you can zell, you
Speaker 2: can Venmo, you can PayPal, goes on and on and on. Uh,
Speaker 2: kids with androids all this though, Kids with Android phones
Speaker 2: very soon they will be able to use Google Wallet,
Speaker 2: the cap to pay starting next year. Good thing or
Speaker 2: bad thing? Talk to me right now. Google Wallet for
Speaker 2: kids is gonna roll out at twenty twenty five. Apparently,
Speaker 2: according to Google a statement, there's been a positive response
Speaker 2: of cap to pay on fit bit ace devices, so
Speaker 2: Google is expanding it tap to pay so kids can
Speaker 2: go to stores, go up to the little checkout stands,
Speaker 2: and you know, without using an actual credit card if
Speaker 2: they have Google Pay on there. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: hold on, parents still need to approve this. Parents could
Speaker 2: approve credit and debit cards added to their children's phones,
Speaker 2: and the Google Family link, which is there, it would
Speaker 2: let them view transactions and then the parents could approve
Speaker 2: or they remove their cards. Good good idea or bad idea.
Speaker 2: So any of the parents existing payment cards in Google
Speaker 2: Wallet and I use Google Wallet, I use it quite often.
Speaker 2: I have several cards. I've got my Affinity cards. Every
Speaker 2: time I go to a store and I want to
Speaker 2: get my points to whatever, I just open my Google Wallet.
Speaker 2: If I travel on Southwest Airlines, which I always do,
Speaker 2: a Let's preferred at least the end of the year
Speaker 2: Southwest Airlines Najor help. Every time I download my boarding pass,
Speaker 2: I put it on my Google Wallet. But any of
Speaker 2: the parents existing payment cards and Google Wallet, they could
Speaker 2: use for the kids spinof device when paying. Here's what's
Speaker 2: going on. Kids would have to approve cap to pay
Speaker 2: purposes using the standard authentication options. And I do that too,
Speaker 2: my fingerprint on the phone, facial recognition, my pen or password.
Speaker 2: Apple apparently already has a similar take on children's purchases. Now,
Speaker 2: if you're in that ecosystem of Apple, families can let
Speaker 2: their kids use Apple Pay in stores and online. They
Speaker 2: can send money through messages with Apple Cash. Family. I
Speaker 2: don't know, man, my kids are. They're in their twenties
Speaker 2: and ones in their thirties, all on their own, all
Speaker 2: got their own credit cards. I don't see how you
Speaker 2: listen this is tap to pay, which means these kids
Speaker 2: are going to have to go to an actual physical store.
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to go to an actual physical store
Speaker 2: and check out that has a tap to pay reader.
Speaker 2: Unless you're listening in any other country outside of the
Speaker 2: United States, especially in Europe at UK, which every single
Speaker 2: vendor everywhere has a tap to pay. I love it
Speaker 2: could not be more convenient. I'm seeing more and more
Speaker 2: in the United States. But it is convenient. You know,
Speaker 2: it's convenient too. You know it gets scary. Whole Foods.
Speaker 2: Whole Foods not only has tap to pay, Whole Foods
Speaker 2: has a a palm reader. No, it's not one of
Speaker 2: those psychic people who read your palms and tell you
Speaker 2: if you're gonna have kids or something. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's part of Amazon's It's called Amazon One. You scan
Speaker 2: your you go to a Whole Foods, you register your palm,
Speaker 2: and it connects it to your Amazon account, which obviously
Speaker 2: you have a credit card on and anytime you go
Speaker 2: to any Whole Foods five hundred and eighty of them
Speaker 2: here across the country. You don't need a wallet, you
Speaker 2: don't need your Google wallet, you don't need your phone.
Speaker 2: You pay with your palm and the dang thing works
Speaker 2: because I used it again about three days to go,
Speaker 2: buy me a six pack of beer. Listen. Scary, yes, cool,
Speaker 2: dang yes, man. I live walking distance from a Whole
Speaker 2: Foods and I run, so I'm a runner. Sometime I'm tired,
Speaker 2: I'm fitzing. I run through the whole food store so
Speaker 2: it can cool down, get a little air conditioning, go
Speaker 2: up and down the aisles, and get some snacks. Maybe
Speaker 2: I see something I want.
Speaker 3: I do not.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Whole Foods guy. Don't go to
Speaker 2: Whole Foods a lot. But if I want to buy something,
Speaker 2: I never run with my wallet. Sometimes I don't run
Speaker 2: with my phone. Put my palm out sweaty or not.
Speaker 2: It works. Imagine kids doing this, man, Matt, I mean
Speaker 2: with that? How about that? Is that scary? I don't know?
Speaker 2: You tell me Listen, we got one more hour to
Speaker 2: talk about this. Seven one three, two, one two five

Speaker 2: actually last car. If you did not listen. If you
Speaker 2: have an EV, if you have an EV car, if
Speaker 2: you have an EV truck, odds are you are going
Speaker 2: to have some sort of a charger inside your garage.
Speaker 2: And if you have a charging garage. I talked about Wolfbox.
Speaker 2: This one I've actually been playing with right now and
Speaker 2: it's pretty cool. I mean, if you do have an EV,
Speaker 2: you do want to make sure this thing is fully charged.
Speaker 2: So make sure you have some sort of a charging device,
Speaker 2: level two charging charging device. You're going to make sure
Speaker 2: that it is professionally installed. I would not do it yourself.
Speaker 2: And so go back and you can listen to it
Speaker 2: on the podcast, which is going to be up in
Speaker 2: what less than an hour? Is that right? My good
Speaker 2: friend Callum who is working the owes here. Actually, here's
Speaker 2: I've been playing with two or three devices in a
Speaker 2: certain category, and here's something that could be a possible
Speaker 2: gift anybody ever use one of them. Robotic vacuums. But
Speaker 2: not just a robotic vacuum, a robotic vacuum or a mop.
Speaker 2: They are robotic mops. And then they are the ones
Speaker 2: we've built in everything. It's a robotic vacuum and robotic mop.
Speaker 2: It sweeps the floor. You know, it looks like the
Speaker 2: little round DAR two D two E type of thing,
Speaker 2: and you know it chases the cat. Sweet said, then
Speaker 2: it goes back and it mops your floor. A number
Speaker 2: of different versions, companies and whatever. I actually I've been
Speaker 2: playing one again, not endorsement over here, but there's some
Speaker 2: I don't like this, some I don't love one I'm
Speaker 2: actually having some really good luck with It's from a
Speaker 2: company called robo Rock. Robo Rock, I do like the
Speaker 2: name roborock dot com. The one I use it is
Speaker 2: a it's a robotic vacuum and a mop. And what
Speaker 2: it does, it's got two chambers. It it uses the
Speaker 2: internally on that little round disc. It sucks it up
Speaker 2: and that's your vacuum there and then you can open
Speaker 2: that up and suck it up. But then there's two
Speaker 2: chambers that it kind of docks into. One chamber you
Speaker 2: put water in there and that when it's docked, the
Speaker 2: little robo robot vacuum, it'll suck in that water into
Speaker 2: the disk and it's got brushes and then it starts
Speaker 2: zooming around and a mops your floor every ten to
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes. It goes back to the dock and then
Speaker 2: it sucks out the dirty water and puts it into
Speaker 2: the other tank, sucks in the clean water, and back
Speaker 2: and forth and back and forth, and you can set
Speaker 2: up the zones and there's apps and things, and there's
Speaker 2: different spinning modes and I gotta tell you it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I use it again. I have no pat that's a
Speaker 2: no pit you know, dandur and fur. I'm a pretty
Speaker 2: train dude. I do have all wood floors pretty much,
Speaker 2: but it's just me living here, so I'm not a mess.
Speaker 2: I mean, technically I could. I could set it automatically
Speaker 2: to go daily nightly. I probably use it maybe once
Speaker 2: a week or so. But I actually kind of like
Speaker 2: these things. The it's how much is this one the one?
Speaker 2: I uh, there's so many different versions of these things.
Speaker 2: If you're looking for the robooc robo rock again, there's
Speaker 2: many and if you and by the way, my listeners,
Speaker 2: this is an interactive session. If you have a brand
Speaker 2: that you like and you love, talk to me HI

Speaker 2: you want it, it charges very well. Alexa Google Assistant
Speaker 2: Series Shortcuts supported charges well. Works on Wi Fi. My
Speaker 2: is this and I got about two minutes and then

Speaker 2: a lot of anything. Dudes, feel free to use the
Speaker 2: same phone number. Have you ever tried to give a spouse, girlfriend, whatever,
Speaker 2: a robotic vacuum, a brush, a broom, a vacuum cleaner,
Speaker 2: an air fryer. And I'm really hitting home right now
Speaker 2: for a gift. I just I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: a good thing if they specifically ask for it. Oh hey,
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that, but just don't go to Target
Speaker 2: or Best Buy because you, dude, you need the latest
Speaker 2: combination air fryer, toaster, dehydrator, baker or whatever it is,
Speaker 2: and you like, you know what, let's just get this
Speaker 2: from a honey and uh, we'll actually, you know, give it,
Speaker 2: you know, give it to them. Open phone line seven

Speaker 2: I assume ladies in this point.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then I'm getting a lot of hahahas I tried it,
Speaker 2: and by I'm still married barely. For all you dudes,
Speaker 2: Michael Garfield, I got on the subject of up testing
Speaker 2: so many products, and I've really been enjoying this robotic
Speaker 2: vacuum and mop. And then I I said it could
Speaker 2: be a good suggestion for a holiday gift, and then
Speaker 2: I got to step back going. Guys, may not be
Speaker 2: a good holiday gift to get, No, your loved one
Speaker 2: a cleaning utensil or something, or a nice beautiful stainless
Speaker 2: steel trash can or an air fryer. It's it's a
Speaker 2: thought the counts, but maybe they want something a little
Speaker 2: different that. This is why communication is best. You give
Speaker 2: somebody a list and you stick to the list. Hey, honey,
Speaker 2: I want to Cardier Love bracelet. Nah. I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 2: that latest rumba is pretty cool, and the dog is
Speaker 2: shedding and the kids really are sloppy. I think we
Speaker 2: would get more use out of that robotic vacuum than
Speaker 2: that really expensive thirty five hundred dollars bracelet that no
Speaker 2: one can get off because you need a screwdriver. That's
Speaker 2: gonna go over well, yeah, it's gonna go overwhelm exactly.
Speaker 2: You're talking to the bachelor, Michael car Field.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: I may be a trip to Disney, do you know what.
Speaker 2: I It may be cheaper to get a Cardier Love
Speaker 2: bracelet then go to Disney. I saw this, man, It
Speaker 2: just blows my mind. Disney just hiked Disneyland. Disney World
Speaker 2: just hyke their prices again. I'll I'm read over there.
Speaker 2: You you ever been in Disney. I used to take
Speaker 2: my kids to Disney. I like Disneyland in CALIFORNI I'm
Speaker 2: a California guy, much more of this so than a
Speaker 2: Least Coast guy. I've been to Disney, We've been to both,
Speaker 2: and I like it. I mean, I'm a kid man.
Speaker 2: That's just what I do. I who I feel bad
Speaker 2: about this because my kids are not spoiled. They're really
Speaker 2: really not. I got three wonderful boys. They're in their
Speaker 2: twenties and one is thirty right now. But I'm on
Speaker 2: a hearken back twenty yeah, good twenty years ago because
Speaker 2: we used to vacation in socol all the time, near Anaheim.
Speaker 2: We were in Orange County, and after two or three
Speaker 2: or four years, you ever had to force your kids
Speaker 2: to go to Disneyland. I'm like, I we're here for
Speaker 2: a week. I mean, we're vacationing for a week. We're
Speaker 2: gonna pick one day we're gonna go to Disneyland. No,
Speaker 2: we don't want to go there. Yes you are. It's
Speaker 2: kind of sav you have to force kids to go
Speaker 2: to Disneyland. I'm a kid people. It's as simple as
Speaker 2: that they had at Disneyland had a six percent price
Speaker 2: increase on most of their park tickets and annual passes.
Speaker 2: Heakes season single We're gonna play the over under game.
Speaker 2: Heaked season single day tickets for Disneyland. This is during
Speaker 2: let's just say the late December holidays for example. Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, I'm just looking at this number over here,
Speaker 2: over under callum in my ear over under single day
Speaker 2: Disneyland ticket. Okay, I remember maybe they were seventy five
Speaker 2: eighty dollars when we were the kids real twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: What do you think you think one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: dollars right now? You are so long, you are so
Speaker 2: low and sadly you may never want to have kids. Bro,
Speaker 2: I don't know how people have kids. It increased one
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety four dollars to two hundred and six
Speaker 2: dollars two one hundred and six bucks to get into
Speaker 2: Disneyland for one person. Listen, I don't want to rag.
Speaker 2: This is more of like what in the world we're
Speaker 2: coming to. Don't give me politics. I don't care who's
Speaker 2: the president, who's the vice president, who's the secretary of Treasury.
Speaker 2: It's a business. I don't listen. I could probably rag
Speaker 2: on Universal Theme Park if anybody wants to do for
Speaker 2: some research, how much does it cost to get into Universal?
Speaker 2: Two hundred bucks to get in one day? Oh we
Speaker 2: don't include parking. Oh we do not include all the snacks,
Speaker 2: the food, the drinks, the Mickey Mouse ears, the mini
Speaker 2: mess Mouse dresses. Mean, Lidia is tough. I mean neither
Speaker 2: of my boys, none of my three boys are married.
Speaker 2: Then none of them have kids. When and if that happens, man,
Speaker 2: I sure as hell they hope they don't. Like, you know,
Speaker 2: rely on Grandpa from taking it to Disney, because I
Speaker 2: need to rely on my kids at some point soon
Speaker 2: to take me to Disney. Wow, and that is a ton?
Speaker 2: What is Why do I just thought I thought I
Speaker 2: mentioned that. I thought I mentioned that. Happy if you're
Speaker 2: going to Disney. Uh, happy holidays. Happy holidays to you.
Speaker 2: As we continue the Michael Garfield showing about I don't
Speaker 2: know what five minutes about six seven minutes spout out
Speaker 2: of the hour, I'm going to give you my review
Speaker 2: on this is a really I like, this is a
Speaker 2: potential gift. I like cooking, grilling, smoking, meats. I have
Speaker 2: a Kammata Joe, which is a great smoking utensil. It's
Speaker 2: it's a Kammada style thing, a lah a big green egg,
Speaker 2: but this is a red one. It's Kamada Joe. I've
Speaker 2: never had a pellet grill until a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Company just sent me. Want to test out my thoughts.
Speaker 2: I will tell you the name of it. It is
Speaker 2: not a trigger. But I'm telling you what for all
Speaker 2: you Pella grill smoker dudes and ladies out there, Beella
Speaker 2: grills are really easy to use, and they smell good.
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm anxious for Thanksgiving because big Daddy g Man,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm going nuts in the turkeys. Anybody want to
Speaker 2: join me for Thanksgiving? Tip to let me know. See
Speaker 2: Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com. Maybe maybe maybe we'll
Speaker 2: do that. So we will. That's that's a potential new
Speaker 2: gift takes about it. You know, I had, I had.
Speaker 2: I had to assemble it, which again it's the bonus
Speaker 2: of having sons, at least one son who lives here
Speaker 2: not far from me, and so that took about an
Speaker 2: hour or so. But it was pretty nice.
Speaker 3: I do like that.
Speaker 2: Uh, let's see what I saw? Is it reading my theme?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Hey, Michael, what's up with this? All this? I'm getting
Speaker 2: confused by all this AI. There's something called CHATCHPT, there's
Speaker 2: ms co pilot. I have Microsoft and they're shoving this
Speaker 2: ms co pilot and what it is? Let me see
Speaker 2: if I can quickly break this down for you. Uh,
Speaker 2: if you have a new laptop, uh, and there there's
Speaker 2: so many of them have artificial intelligence power in there.
Speaker 2: If you have a Windows or Microsoft, you're probably gonna
Speaker 2: see one that says the word co pilot. Okay, it's
Speaker 2: coat pilot plus TC.
Speaker 3: What it is?
Speaker 2: Long story short, it's a it's a new breed of
Speaker 2: a laptop, all right, and it's generative AI built into
Speaker 2: the device, right Uh. When Microsoft laptops have to have
Speaker 2: some minimum specifications in processes whatever it is. But a
Speaker 2: lot of the it it it. A lot of this
Speaker 2: stuff happens up in the cloud, even though it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be the machine. But a lot of your information,
Speaker 2: your interaction with ch hat GPT or if you you
Speaker 2: see an image and you want to you talk to it,
Speaker 2: just say, hey, create an image of I wonder what
Speaker 2: Michael Garfield looks like. Is he's some fat, bald guy
Speaker 2: behind a microphone, and then they'll guess what I look like.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just one example. It's called XT to
Speaker 2: image creation. It's up in the cloud, that's generally how
Speaker 2: it happens. But with Copilot, that processing happens on the
Speaker 2: actual device. That means your data remains private, it's securely
Speaker 2: stored in the device. And I like that, and you
Speaker 2: potentially should like that. This is not a Microsoft commercial,
Speaker 2: even though I did work for Microsoft, even though Bill
Speaker 2: Gates did put and plant a chip inside my brain.
Speaker 2: I am not an Apple guy. I'm not a Mac guy.
Speaker 2: I am a Windows guy. But again, if you want
Speaker 2: to hop on the bandwagon, you're scared that everything's up
Speaker 2: in the cloud, co pilot is something that is built
Speaker 2: into and stays on your device. Now, all copilot PCs
Speaker 2: are not creative equal. There's different chips, there's different manufacturers.
Speaker 2: There are manufacturers, think about it. There's HP, there's Dell,
Speaker 2: there's Asus. I'm a big A SUS as US big
Speaker 2: ASU Span all right, depending on what chip, what they do,
Speaker 2: it's built in and there's some key differences. Is there
Speaker 2: a good time to buy them? Listen. Tech is like
Speaker 2: waves in the ocean. By the time one reaches the shore,
Speaker 2: guess what, another one's just behind it. It could get
Speaker 2: you for two. This is a relatively good time to
Speaker 2: buy devices like that because it is the holiday season.
Speaker 2: Start looking for Black Friday deals. I will start getting
Speaker 2: into that about a week or two, but at that
Speaker 2: point you could start shopping. The other really good time
Speaker 2: for devices like that is July and August. It's back
Speaker 2: to school. But I appreciate the question that was from Jessica.
Speaker 2: Jessica's in Paarland. That is what co pilot versus some
Speaker 2: of the other in the cloud, computing, artificial intelligence, is
Speaker 2: anything else? I'm here for you, all right, coming up,
Speaker 2: talk grilling. Let's talk pell grill smoking here on the
Speaker 2: High Tech Texan Show. Back at it. Michael Garfield, long
Speaker 2: running a high tech text show. Two decades of telling
Speaker 2: you what to buy, where to shop, and giving you
Speaker 2: some ideas of a brand. You may not have heard
Speaker 2: it all been to other fun thing seven one three
Speaker 2: two one two five nine five zero. Number has not
Speaker 2: changed in two decades since we've been doing this. You know,
Speaker 2: one big category. I continue to cover our TVs and monitors.
Speaker 2: I remember when the first high definition or the digital
Speaker 2: TVs came out back in what two thousand and one,
Speaker 2: two and three. They were big, they were expensive, they
Speaker 2: were heavy. Nowadays, man, there's outdoor TV, there's portable TVs. Uh,
Speaker 2: and the prices are generally very very good. As you know,
Speaker 2: ran across a company that I was pretty unfamiliar with,
Speaker 2: but looking at their background, pretty solid and uh. I've
Speaker 2: actually been testing one of their smaller portable TVs out
Speaker 2: uh not for about a week or two. It's called Skyworth. Anyone,
Speaker 2: anyone out there, raise your hands Skyworth. Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give you a little play by play about them, because
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to the director of sales for
Speaker 2: the company. His name is Michael Gleeson. Michael is joining me. Michael,
Speaker 2: thank you so much for your time for a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Big names in the world of TVs for decades and decades,
Speaker 2: if not centuries. Skyworth. How long has that been around?
Speaker 2: And tell me about the company.
Speaker 3: Skywork's been around since it's nineteen eighty eight. They're a
Speaker 3: public company on the New York Stock Exchange. There are
Speaker 3: a nine billion dollar company. They do business in over
Speaker 3: one hundred plus countries, forty thousand employees. Yet you're right,
Speaker 3: they haven't really done much of the US. Been in
Speaker 3: the US for eight years, mostly selling entry level lowers.
Speaker 3: We've only made a switch in their strategy and decided
Speaker 3: to bring more innovative, kind of cool products to the US.
Speaker 3: And what's in your office right now is one of
Speaker 3: those products and thought processes.
Speaker 2: I was doing a lot of research of the company
Speaker 2: and you've got a number of different products that you're
Speaker 2: bringing to the market. To lifestyle TVs, it's kind of
Speaker 2: how you categorize this thing. How do you define lifestyle TVs?
Speaker 2: What would you say that is.
Speaker 3: It's really a TV that fits the consumer's lifestyle. So
Speaker 3: what they do so right now, Smarts are spending a
Speaker 3: lot of time outdoors, on the go, doing a lot
Speaker 3: of traveling, whether it's on a plane or a road trip,
Speaker 3: and so a lot of our products kind of fit
Speaker 3: those lifestyles, less about in the home, but more about
Speaker 3: what they like in the home or what they like
Speaker 3: on the road. So we make some really cool outdoor
Speaker 3: TVs and full sign outdoor TVs. Matter of fact, in Houston,
Speaker 3: if you go to Little Woodrows in in Sugar Land.
Speaker 3: You'll find that there's ten outdoor TVs that look awesome
Speaker 3: at two o'clock in the afternoon. So those are some
Speaker 3: of the really cool products we have. And as you mentioned,
Speaker 3: we have a really cool portable TV as well.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm going to go back to the to the outdoors.
Speaker 2: I'm very familiar with the little woodrows that just opened
Speaker 2: recently because it's about three minutes from my home, because
Speaker 2: I am a Sugarland resident, and it's funny. The outdoor
Speaker 2: TV thing is a neat segment. I've had a television
Speaker 2: in my backyard for many, many years, but it's been
Speaker 2: just a typical television. And let me help you out.
Speaker 2: With the climate in Houston, with the humidity, with the
Speaker 2: direct sunlight, a regular TV does not last long outdoors.
Speaker 2: It maybe a last one or two seasons before the humidity,
Speaker 2: the dust and particles. Why are outdoor TVs or how
Speaker 2: are outdoor TVs made a little differently to withstand the elements,
Speaker 2: and why are they so much more important and better
Speaker 2: than a tip of the mounting a typical TV outside?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, first of all, they're really protected rugged. Ours
Speaker 3: is what's called it sixty six protection. That means no dust,
Speaker 3: no water gets in there. So you have a hurricane
Speaker 3: in Houston, we might be effected by the wind where
Speaker 3: it blows away, but the rain and the flooding won't
Speaker 3: harm or TV. The win won't harm our TV. The
Speaker 3: other cool thing about our TV is the brightness. The
Speaker 3: problem with outdoor TVs is if you take your phone
Speaker 3: and you go outside and it's in the middle of
Speaker 3: the sun, you can't see what's on your phone. You're
Speaker 3: always shading your phone. TV's have the same problem outdoors.
Speaker 3: So our TV's three thousand knit's brightness, our full sun
Speaker 3: outdoor TV, it's the brightest TV in the market, so
Speaker 3: it's really important when the sun's out you still have
Speaker 3: this unbelievably great picture. And then the other cool thing
Speaker 3: about ours is that the glass itself is ik ten
Speaker 3: temper glass, which means that if you get a little
Speaker 3: bit of hail in Houston and it hits the TV,
Speaker 3: it'll bounce off, including golf balls. We do a great
Speaker 3: demo at shows when we smack the TV, but it's
Speaker 3: really a rugged, over engineered TV for the outdoors. So
Speaker 3: at that or we talked about in sugar Land, it
Speaker 3: can withstand all those elements and still show uh Houston,
Speaker 3: Texas playing on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Michael Glason not only he's the director of sales for
Speaker 2: Skyworth through Meteorologist. Apparently a lot you're talking a lot
Speaker 2: about the weather. Those are the outdoor TVs in terms
Speaker 2: of indoor TVs. The one I've been playing with here
Speaker 2: for about a week or two, it's is very unique.
Speaker 2: It's it's called the Companion, and it's a portable TV.
Speaker 2: And if people think about this TVs as we kind
Speaker 2: of think about them, they haven't been too portable because
Speaker 2: they've been big and heavy. This bad boy weighs just
Speaker 2: a few pounds. You can plug it in and obviously
Speaker 2: it's it's it's as long as you can get kind
Speaker 2: of a wireless internet connection. It's it's it's priced very well.
Speaker 2: This is this is a pretty interesting line of TV
Speaker 2: that that you launched. I'll let you explain it a
Speaker 2: little bit more in depth of Companion.
Speaker 3: So it's a twenty four inch TV. It's got a
Speaker 3: nice little weather handle on the side. Here. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: for getting out of frame here.
Speaker 1: But it's portable.
Speaker 3: It's got a three hour battery life on it. It
Speaker 3: could be charged from your home. I can also be
Speaker 3: charged from your car. It just needs sixty watts of power.
Speaker 3: You would just take a twelve vote to a mini
Speaker 3: plug and it would work. But the really cool thing
Speaker 3: is I'm dating myself, but you know, back when I
Speaker 3: was younger, we used to sell DVD TV combos and
Speaker 3: these little portable thirteen inch TVs that people would take home.
Speaker 3: The cool thing about this product is Google TV streaming platform.
Speaker 3: So all your content, thousands and thousands of movies. For me,
Speaker 3: it's the football package goes with you anywhere you go.
Speaker 3: All you need is a phone and a hotspot and
Speaker 3: you can get that content on the TV. So it's
Speaker 3: great for kitchens. I mean, there's no more kitchen TV.
Speaker 3: It's great for bathrooms. Are really great for camping. Imagine
Speaker 3: taking your kids on a road trip and putting this
Speaker 3: on their lap and put the Disney channel on. You'll
Speaker 3: never hear are we there yet? It's it's really great
Speaker 3: for camping. As I said, tailgating, even outdoors that in
Speaker 3: the evening you want to go on your deck and
Speaker 3: have some alone time watching a TV program, you can
Speaker 3: just pick it up and carry it and bring it
Speaker 3: on your deck. Only weighs ten pounds or it's really light,
Speaker 3: and we do sell a case forward, so if you're
Speaker 3: going somewhere far and you want to protect it before
Speaker 3: you use it, you can do that. So it's really cool.
Speaker 3: On the best part about a surprise that only retails
Speaker 3: for four hundred dollars, So it's really a bargain when
Speaker 3: you consider all the uses of the actual product itself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first and it came to mind for me is
Speaker 2: probably my listeners right now are the tailgating. Obviously, we
Speaker 2: live our tailgating here in Texas. The fact is, you know,
Speaker 2: I used to go to and I still do go
Speaker 2: to a lot of tailgates, and you know, I see
Speaker 2: people slipping a satellite dish and a power generator to
Speaker 2: light up all their TVs. Everything. This has a built
Speaker 2: in battery, as you said, the last three hours, which
Speaker 2: is pretty much the length of an NFL game to
Speaker 2: be able to watch it. And so I think it's
Speaker 2: it's pretty smart. As we're talking about. Styworth is the
Speaker 2: name of the company. One more thing before I let
Speaker 2: you go, I saw you're releasing some new now some
Speaker 2: new types of TVs out there, one of which kind
Speaker 2: of caught my eyes called the canvas Art TV explain this, So.
Speaker 3: This is our regular CULD four K TV in your
Speaker 3: home to watch regular TV. Use it Google TV for screaming,
Speaker 3: but really it's about the art, and so we import
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty pieces of free art for the TV.
Speaker 3: So when it's off, you don't have a black box
Speaker 3: there that looks like a piece of ugly furniture. It
Speaker 3: has a frame around it, a wood frame, and then
Speaker 3: it features art from the Louver Newseum, the Guggenheim Newseum,
Speaker 3: Oil pain terms modern art, over one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: pieces of art to choose from that you can put
Speaker 3: on the screen as opposed to it's just being a
Speaker 3: black box. And these are popular. He's been around for
Speaker 3: about six years, really popular. The other cool thing is
Speaker 3: ours are self and closed, so they operate just like
Speaker 3: a TV and they hang like a picture. Two little
Speaker 3: things on the side that hang just like you word
Speaker 3: any picture in your house.
Speaker 2: Tell you get an art gallery. It turns into a
Speaker 2: big TV. It's it's it's pretty, it's pretty smart. So
Speaker 2: it pieces the husband and the wife. I think maybe
Speaker 2: that's a smart way.
Speaker 3: To put it. That is correct. Yes, probably if feases
Speaker 3: the wife more than the husband.
Speaker 2: Guests. Everybody's appy thanks to Skyworth. Last question before we
Speaker 2: get you out of here. People are interested in getting
Speaker 2: these Where can they purchase? Where can they find Skyworth products?
Speaker 3: You can go to our website at SKYWORTHUSA dot com.
Speaker 3: Can also check us out on Amazon. We have all
Speaker 3: those products on Amazon.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Michael Glason. Listen, I appreciate you guts. Some
Speaker 2: of the success I appreciate at the time really interesting products.
Speaker 2: I know is the holiday season or even year under?
Speaker 2: This is I think tailgate season for the Companion portable. Uh,
Speaker 2: you got a TV for almost every occasion, and obviously
Speaker 2: you you stop divorces because it makes the husband wife
Speaker 2: happy for looking at art onto a football game all
Speaker 2: the way. Congrat your success and I appreciate your time.
Speaker 3: Thanks a lom Michael, you got it? You got it?
Speaker 2: Anybody else I got questions about the TVs or monitors?
Speaker 2: Just the season? Open phone line seven one three, two,
Speaker 2: one two, five, nine to five. Oh as we continue
Speaker 2: the long running high tech Taxi show here across the world.
Speaker 2: And I heart radio. Guess what I'm hungry too? You
Speaker 2: like that? Hey? If anybody else is a big smoker thriller,
Speaker 2: and you have luck or tips even tips for me
Speaker 2: about pellet grills. I just went through kind of a
Speaker 2: ten minute play by play how I was trying out
Speaker 2: checking out a pellet grill. This is from a company
Speaker 2: called Risk It pretty good price and it did work well.
Speaker 2: I'd like it. So now that makes three different smoking
Speaker 2: cooking grilling devices I have out there. So it's my
Speaker 2: biggest you know, quandary is like which one which one
Speaker 2: am I gonna use? But I love that smokey flavor.
Speaker 2: I love that's mokey flavor. So we got less than
Speaker 2: eight or nine minutes. Final questions coming in. I won't
Speaker 2: give out the phone number because I already have a
Speaker 2: few lined up here. Some email Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia
Speaker 2: dot com. Dear Garf, I know you're an Android pimp. Well,
Speaker 2: actually you can call me now, but you have to
Speaker 2: get paid to be a pimp. Now I'm not paid. Sadly,
Speaker 2: I'm not paid by Android, but I do love me
Speaker 2: some Android phone anyway, Garf, I know you're Android pimp. However,
Speaker 2: I have an Apple, several of my friends have an Android.
Speaker 2: Is it possible for me to FaceTime with someone? Who
Speaker 2: uses an Android phone. Good Tom, very good question. Well
Speaker 2: I will tell you Andrew. Apple has made it possible
Speaker 2: for Android phone owners to join FaceTime calls with iPhone users.
Speaker 2: It's actually been around for a little while. You don't
Speaker 2: need special software. Listen. We know Apple has a reputation
Speaker 2: for restricting access to apps and services from non Apple devices,
Speaker 2: so that leaves Android users without features like I Message
Speaker 2: or FaceTime. But there is a possible way to do
Speaker 2: that if you have I Message now, I Message remains
Speaker 2: exclusive to iOS, but Apple did not. Long ago, they
Speaker 2: did announce r c S support Rich Communication Services as
Speaker 2: part of their IOSA team. Now rich communication services that's
Speaker 2: widely used on Android phones for texting, looks like Apple's
Speaker 2: gonna adopt it, which is all good. But if you
Speaker 2: want a FaceTime to someone an Android, here's what's going on.
Speaker 2: Like any call, someone's got to initiate the call. If
Speaker 2: you're on an Android phone maybe using a PC, that
Speaker 2: person who initiates it is going to have to be
Speaker 2: someone with an iPhone, all right, or a Mac or
Speaker 2: an iPad. So if you're an iOS user, initiate a
Speaker 2: FaceTime call, So open your FaceTime app on your iPhone,
Speaker 2: hit create link. There's a create link and from the
Speaker 2: bottom it's gonna something's gonna slide up that says FaceTime link.
Speaker 2: Then it'll say add name to enter a name for
Speaker 2: your chat. But there's also on that same screen it's
Speaker 2: gonna see the option to share that facetimelink through your email,
Speaker 2: through messages, through calendar, or some other apps. There you go, cut,
Speaker 2: copy paste, text it to someone on a non iPhone.
Speaker 2: I will get it, for example, since I'm an iPhone,
Speaker 2: or I can join it. Obviously I can't initiate it.
Speaker 2: I can join it. I try to few times. That's
Speaker 2: not great. Just use people, Just use Zoom, use Facebook Messenger,
Speaker 2: use What's app video. And if you're an Android, let's
Speaker 2: go back. If you're an Android user, here's how to
Speaker 2: join the FaceTime call. You click the FaceTime link that
Speaker 2: your iOS user sent you. The link's gonna open up
Speaker 2: your browser. You continue, you wait for them to let
Speaker 2: you in, and you're there. Okay. There's so many other
Speaker 2: alternatives Google, Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams. It goes on and
Speaker 2: on and on. No with wherever Gonna live in Perfect Harmony, Ebity,
Speaker 2: and Ivory, iPhone, Android I mean, I've been ostracized because
Speaker 2: I'm a green doughter versus a blue daughter. But whatever.
Speaker 2: The reason I talk about Android more than I do
Speaker 2: iPhone is because many, many, many more people around the
Speaker 2: world use the Android operating system than the iPhone operating system.
Speaker 2: And that is a fact. And I'm not just blowing
Speaker 2: smoke up your phone. Seventy seventy five percent of the
Speaker 2: world uses Android. So how about this. Seventy and seventy
Speaker 2: five percent of everybody with the phone uses Android versus iOS.
Speaker 2: Why sheer number is quite simple. There's only one manufacturer
Speaker 2: that uses iOS. Apple. I've lost count of how many
Speaker 2: facturers use the Android operating system from Samsung LG one
Speaker 2: plus Motorola Asus. It goes on and on and on
Speaker 2: by sheer numbers, more manufacturers all using the free Google base,
Speaker 2: well Google owned Android system. There you go, And I
Speaker 2: want to talk to the majority of my people out
Speaker 2: there other than u iphonders, not hayten. That's just the
Speaker 2: way it is. Some things will never change. But hopefully
Speaker 2: with the rich communications services sharing, you know, apps and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, that we where it's gonna become a
Speaker 2: smaller world. I don't know the world is gonna get well,
Speaker 2: it's gonna get a little loopier starting this weekend because
Speaker 2: we well we do gain an extra hour of sleep
Speaker 2: for most of us uh and the next week. I
Speaker 2: cannot protict what is going on with the election, but
Speaker 2: as we end this show, whatever you do, v o
Speaker 2: t E. I voted early. I did. Will not tell
Speaker 2: you who I voted for. Nope, doesn't work that way.
Speaker 2: But I got my I voted sticker. I was one
Speaker 2: of the very few people who did not take a
Speaker 2: selfie of myself with my I voted sticker and put
Speaker 2: it all over social media. Don't need to do that,
Speaker 2: but I did vote. Hanging on to my I voted
Speaker 2: sticker because come Tuesday, a lot of places are offering
Speaker 2: you free sandwiches or ice creams or snacks or something
Speaker 2: if you walk in with your I voted sticker. I
Speaker 2: do like that. That's the case. Let's vote freaking every day.
Speaker 2: Why just make it one day or you know, three
Speaker 2: weeks for early voting. Man, you're gonna give me, You're
Speaker 2: gonna get going. I'll walk in with a stickers three
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five days a year, you know, give
Speaker 2: me something something Calamarid I hope you do vote. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for working the front, working everything and
Speaker 2: keeping guests on air. Also, we could not do it
Speaker 2: without our big partners, Total Wireless, five gee, Total Wires.
Speaker 2: There's about ten eleven twelve store Total Wireless stores. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of commercials for Total Wireless during the World Series.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Dodgers. There are several that are owned
Speaker 2: by a company called Victra here in and around Houston.
Speaker 2: If you want to save some money on your data plans, okay,
Speaker 2: data plans, you don't need to pay one hundred bucks,
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks all you can eat. Go to
Speaker 2: Total Wireless, relatively inexpensive plans that works on the Verizon network.
Speaker 2: Total Wireless is great. I've been using that service for months.
Speaker 2: They've got home wireless routers. That's right. You don't need
Speaker 2: to pay the exorbitant fees of going through cable. Total
Speaker 2: Wireless is the way to go. Also, shout out to
Speaker 2: a company that's going to get very busy again these
Speaker 2: next two months. US coins and jewelry. I ten at
