<v Speaker 2>I'm going to give you at least reason number one

108
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>hundred why I, and I use the word I, Michael Garfield,

109
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 2>why I will not buy an electric vehicle. Just it.

110
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Just if you're a longtime listener. I review cars, I

111
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>review trucks. Matter of fact, got to thank a good

112
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.879
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine, Jerry Reynolds, the car Pro guy. I

113
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>sat in for Jerry last weekend. If you were in

114
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>one of the sixty plus markets around the country, a

115
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>three hour radio show it's called the Car Pro Show.

116
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Gave you my thoughts on my favorite vehicles that I

117
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.439
<v Speaker 2>tested this year. On any given year, I test drive

118
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>sixty or seventy brand new vehicles. I get them at

119
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>least on a weekly basis. These do not come from dealerships.

120
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>These come directly through manufacturers. I am not paid to

121
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about them. It is all my thoughts, which means

122
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I can ream them or I could love on them.

123
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>It is totally and that's why Jerry said, Garth, I

124
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 2>trust your opinion. You do the same thing I do.

125
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>We're both members of the Texas Auto Writers Association. Really

126
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>fun got a lot of questions about cars, what to buy,

127
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>their kids or they're in the you know, should they

128
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>trade in something right now? My car was in a wreck,

129
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 2>and what should I get my kid just left the school?

130
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Now I want to downsize the vehicle. I got that going.

131
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>But I also will tell you about electric vehicles. There's there,

132
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>there are, There are some reasons you may want to

133
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>get them. But for me, in my lifestyle where I

134
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>am right now, where my kids are grown, and it

135
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 2>is just me living alone, and I like the freedom

136
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 2>to get in my vehicle and turn the nission on

137
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 2>and drive as far away in just a few hours

138
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>from Houston to Dallas to San Antonio. I could go

139
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>to Lake Charles. I could go a lot of places

140
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>where I don't need to stop and worry about running

141
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>out of electricity on that battery, trying to find a

142
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 2>battery charger, waiting an hour plus time, and spending a

143
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 2>good amount of money to charge that thing which happened

144
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.079
<v Speaker 2>to be a few days ago. So stand by. If

145
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>you may enjoy this, You may hop on the bandwagon.

<v Speaker 3>It is?

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>this is the final show of this year. If you're

186
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>in San Antonio on WOAI eleven ninety in Dallas. That

187
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>expands the listening audience a long time. It's been twenty

188
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>three years in Houston on KPRC nine fifty of the

189

190
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 2>it is we have some fun. I am not gonna

191
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 2>tell you how to fix your computer. I don't do that.

192
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you I'll recommend a new computer. I'll

193
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>recommend a laptop. I'm gonna answer you. You're gonna ask

194
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>me a question. I'm going to answer with a question.

195
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 2>What are you trying to do with it? Is it

196
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 2>for a student? Maybe you do want a laptop? Is

197
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 2>it for an elderly person who doesn't travel and they

198
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>just want something to play some games? They need a

199
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.200
<v Speaker 2>big screen. I may give you an all in one

200
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 2>desktop to do. I have a lot, a lot of

201
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 2>ammunition to give you some ideas. If you want a vehicle,

202
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh do I I review vehicles fifteen years. I have

203
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 2>reviewed cars fifty to fifty two plus cars every single year.

204
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.519
<v Speaker 2>What is at eight hundred nine hundred vehicles? I have

205
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>driven the good and the bad, the ugly. Let me

206
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>give you the phone number right now and buckle up

207
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>because we're going to have it's story time here. But

208
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 2>it's three four six twenty nine text, and I got

209
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 2>some voicemails. If we don't pick up and you hear

210
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 2>a beat, leave a voicemail. We do have the right

211
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to play that later in the show the following week.

212
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And I've got a few actually to play. But bear

213
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.879
<v Speaker 2>with me over here. I want to see if I

214
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 2>could just recollect what happened to me this week, and

215
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>it's about It's about a vehicle. Long story short. Every

216
00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>single week, every single week, I get a vehicle that

217
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>is driven up to my house. This is this is business.

218
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 2>People don't cry from your Argentina. And this is not

219
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>a humble brag. This is an fact fact. I review

220
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 2>cars and trucks and whatever it is. There is a

221
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 2>third party company that works with manufacturers, not dealers. Manufacturers

222
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>the directment. Most of them are obviously in Michigan everyone.

223
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 2>They deliver a car pretty much every Thursday to me.

224
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 2>They give me the keys, I give them the other keys.

225
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>They swap it out. I have one week to test

226
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>drive this vehicle, Okay, I try to take it obviously.

227
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 2>I drive highways and byways. Sometimes they'll take them off road.

228
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I have done pickup trucks, electric vehicles, sports cars, minivans,

229
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 2>sprinter vans, Sedan's suvcuvs goes on and on and on,

230
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 2>all right, and I make notes, I take pictures. I

231
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 2>put this on my Instagram high tech textan by the way,

232
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>and I have my favorites. Tonight's die and I don't

233
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 2>like some If if one vehicle is good for somebody,

234
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 2>odds are that vehicle may be good for another type

235
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>of demographic another person. So if I don't specifically like

236
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>it for me where I am right now, well, listen,

237
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any kids. I don't need a big

238
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 2>old minivan or something. Someone's gonna want them any vans,

239
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>So I do keep an open mind. But when it

240
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 2>comes to electric vehicles, I've got to love hate, mostly

241
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 2>hate relationship with that thing. I like electric vehicles because

242
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 2>they are sexy, nicely designed, they are super fast, they

243
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 2>are quiet, and to some extent, maybe they're a little

244
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 2>bit more green. However, there's a lot of non green

245
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 2>stuff and evs. We're not gonna get into the politics

246
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>right now. But the problem with me is not so

247
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>much as an evy itself. It's the charging infrastructure that

248
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 2>we have in these United States of America. It is

249
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 2>just not ubiquitous enough. I need a charger on a

250
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.960
<v Speaker 2>every single street corner, just like we have a gas station.

251
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.799
<v Speaker 2>That's part one, Part two. I could fill up a

252
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.720
<v Speaker 2>tank of gas as I have because I have been

253
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>driving gasoline power cars for without giving out my age,

254
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 2>well over forty years. All Right, You fill up a

255
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>tank of gas, it takes anywhere between four minutes to

256
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 2>eight minutes, maybe ten minutes, depending on how big of

257
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>a tank you got. You pay, you get out, you're

258
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 2>on the road, all right, you stop at a buckets

259
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 2>or something, Yeah, you're screwed. You're gonna spend another hour.

260
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.200
<v Speaker 2>You're spending another five hundred dollars. But neither here nor

261
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 2>there you get an electric vehicle. Okay, you better tack

262
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>on about twice the amount of time that you plan

263
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to get from a to because if you're going anywhere

264
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 2>over two hundred, two hundred and fifty maybe three hundred miles,

265
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>you are screwed because you now are gonna have to

266
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>pull out like the old fashioned trip tick and plan

267
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 2>your trip because at some point you are gonna have

268
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to stop and you're gonna have to recharge that car.

269
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have to hunt for a place to go

270
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.159
<v Speaker 2>charge that vehicle, and your better hope it's a level three,

271
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.840
<v Speaker 2>a really fast super or a hyper fast charger. If not,

272
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna sit there and it's gonna be a slow

273
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 2>trickle charge. Maybe there's three or four cars already using those.

274
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>At that point, you're gonna wait to even pull up

275
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.919
<v Speaker 2>your car, and then you're gonna back your car in

276
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>because you forgot that you're charging port was on the

277
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>other side. Then you got to wait another thirty forty

278
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>five minutes, an hour, hour and a half to charge

279
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.639
<v Speaker 2>your car, and you hope it goes to one hundred percent.

280
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you see where I'm going right now? It's a pain.

281
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Let me give you my review. This past week, I

282
00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>was excited when a Hummer EV holed up in front.

283
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Last week I had a Hummer Eve. Okay,

284
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 2>h three sexy, one hundred and seven thousand dollars. The

285
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:15.440
<v Speaker 2>tops can come off. Does the crab walk? It's huge,

286
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 2>It's a looker. I love the lights. It fits well,

287
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.799
<v Speaker 2>it is cool, interesting enough as big as this bad

288
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 2>boy is, because you think it could be all battery.

289
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>The max range that I could see it was about

290
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>three hundred miles. Okay, generally I don't travel three hundred

291
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 2>miles or so. But you know what I decided to

292
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.799
<v Speaker 2>do because at night or two nights before Christmas, I

293
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 2>went with the buddy and I live in the Houston area,

294
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and we said, you know what, let's go to Lake Charles, Louisiana.

295
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Lake Charles, Louisiana maybe about one hundred and ninety miles away,

296
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 2>takes about two hours and fifteen minutes. And I said,

297
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take this thing well before I go, and

298
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna spend the night before I went. Had

299
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.279
<v Speaker 2>to find a charger because I don't have a charger. No,

300
00:15:58.600 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I had to find a charger in charge this thing.

301
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Do one hundred percent. Now I have range anxiety, Yes

302
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.559
<v Speaker 2>I do. I have range anxiety. And that range anxiety

303
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>means I have to look at that range. It's gonna

304
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>go down to ninety percent, sixty forty percent. At that

305
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 2>point I start schitzing. It gets down to twenty percent.

306
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm screwed. So I'm thinking we're gonna drive directly.

307
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.799
<v Speaker 2>It's got three hundred mile range, only about one hundred

308
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 2>and eighty maybe two hundred miles. Whatever it is, I'm

309
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>still gonna have some mileage on there. There's got to

310
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>be a charger or two or ten of them at

311
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>this big hotel. And I'm gonna call out this hotel.

312
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Stayed at the Golden Nugget. Golden Nugget, stayed there many

313
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.480
<v Speaker 2>times since it's opened ten years ago. Really nice hotel,

314
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>really good, good restaurants. Now got a sports book it's

315
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>all good. Drive all the way over there, make it.

316
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that I have about I have no clue why,

317
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.159
<v Speaker 2>because I was using the air conditioning and use it

318
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.559
<v Speaker 2>and blasting the radio. I get there. Maybe I had

319
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.080
<v Speaker 2>about twenty twenty two percent of my battery left. Maybe

320
00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I had I don't know, fifty miles, sixty miles and

321
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe less than that. Pull in to the garage is

322
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 2>the golden nugget. I'm driving on Level one looking for

323
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the charger. Level two. I'm going through all I go

324
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 2>through the parking lot, can't find a freaking charger. Pull

325
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 2>up to the valet, I asked the nice kids, Hey, man,

326
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 2>where's a charger. They see I'm in an electric comer.

327
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.839
<v Speaker 2>They look at me and they smile and they're like,

328
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't have chargers here. And I look them and

329
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm I may have thrown out a cussword. You are

330
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the freaking golden nugget. A beautiful, relatively new hotel. You

331
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.640
<v Speaker 2>have people driving from the state of Texas. I know

332
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them have EVS. You don't have a charger, No, sir,

333
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.000
<v Speaker 2>we don't. This point, I'm really starting to fits. At

334
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 2>this point, my appetite's gone I'm no, I'm losing weight

335
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>already because I don't eat when I just I get ticked.

336
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Where's the nearest charger? Well, there's one in the target

337
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.200
<v Speaker 2>parking lot, and you have to go around here, and

338
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>there's the U turn and there's the circle and then

339
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna turn right over here? Is it open to

340
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>You're kidding me, so in a way, I didn't worry

341
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:06.519
<v Speaker 2>about it. We park, We gamble, go to dinner, Vican

342
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Anthony's cost that an armaal leg gamble a little wake up.

343
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>So now buddy's sleeping. I'm thinking I need to get

344
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I need to take care of this thing. We take

345
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>care of that. I drive now and I'm watching every

346
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>every foot that I'm driving and every percentage that this

347
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>my battery goes down. I drive to this target parking lot.

348
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I find out that the target parking lot has a

349
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 2>slew of chargers. Uh oh, they're only Tesla charges. Tesla

350
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 2>chargers do not fit into the regular right, I said,

351
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>regularly the chargers okay with the charge coupling system, say okay,

352
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>gun work. Then I'm thinking I'm really screwed. Wait a minute.

353
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I look on the map. Just in the same parking lot.

354
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Here's a company called Rivian, And if you don't know Rivian,

355
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 2>in Rivi makes a truck and it's an electric truck

356
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and it uses the same type of charger that the

357
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Hummer does that most of the other cars do. Right,

358
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.559
<v Speaker 2>super fast, super speeding everything. Go all the way to

359
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>the Rivian thing, plug it in, get ready to punch

360
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 2>something to give my credit card. We're sorry. These Rivian

361
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:24.319
<v Speaker 2>network chargers only work on Rivians at this place. At

362
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 2>this time, I'm looking for a brick to throw through

363
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the window of this Hummer, not because I don't like

364
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the Hummer, because I am ticked, because I don't know

365
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 2>what to do. Now. If that's not enough, I'm going

366
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to finish the story and we're going to see if

367
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I've ever made it that to Uston. We'll finish after the.

368
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 4>Book the hour that High Tech Days.

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't bought him at the story time with Mike,

370
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're just two moving when I was telling a

371
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.559
<v Speaker 2>story about electric vehicles. I've been test driving this past week,

372
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.680
<v Speaker 2>which I do and review the new twenty twenty five

373
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Homer H three ev it's an electric vehicle. And the

374
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>reason in the end of the day is why reason

375
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 2>number one hundred. Why I will not buy an EV

376
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I live in Houston. I'm gonna speed you up. I

377
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.200
<v Speaker 2>live in Houston. I drove with a buddy to Lake Charles, Louisiana.

378
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I get there, spend the night a few days ago.

379
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm down to about twenty percent battery. I get to

380
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the hotel. Golden Nugget does not inexplicably, they do not

381
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>have an EV charger nothing. I do not know how.

382
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 2>If Tillman, we love you, baby. If you or your

383
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>people you need, I will, I'll partner with you. I

384
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>will build a network of VV chargers. There. You need

385
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 2>an EV charger. People drive from Texas to go gamble.

386
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>You need it anyway, I need to. I wake up

387
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 2>early in the morning. My buddy's still sleeping. I'm out

388
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.640
<v Speaker 2>searching the city of Lake Charles, Oh. And Lake Charles

389
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.119
<v Speaker 2>is a bute people. I'm looking for a charging a charger.

390
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I find one. It's a Tesla charger, doesn't work on

391
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.279
<v Speaker 2>the Hummer. I find another one. It's a Rivian charger,

392
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work on the Hummer. Now I'm looking out on

393
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the map. Now the map on the GPS. You could

394
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>it'll map out all the evs, and I'm thinking, well,

395
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I know car dealer. It's a Monday morning, Monday car

396
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>dealerships are open. Well, actually yeah, it's it's Louisiana. Car

397
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:35.200
<v Speaker 2>dealerships could be open seven days a week. In textas

398
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>they're open six days a week. Maybe I'll go to

399
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.839
<v Speaker 2>a car dealership. So I see something it's called and

400
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a lot of third party charging companies. There's

401
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 2>charge Point, Electrify America Vygo, it goes on and on

402
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and on. I like Electrify America. Electrify America, I know,

403
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 2>generally has a level three. Level three is the highest level.

404
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.279
<v Speaker 2>The level one is when you plug it into your

405
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 2>one ten volt wall. I mean that's a trickle charge.

406
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Level two it's like a hair drive here, a washer dryer.

407
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>The dryer plug faster. If you have a plug at

408
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:07.720
<v Speaker 2>home in your garage, ogs or you have a level two,

409
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.640
<v Speaker 2>still gonna take six seven hours, eight hours maybe to

410
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 2>bloat up overnight, gotcha. But level three you can get

411
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 2>pretty much one hundred percent in an hour hour fifteen,

412
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>depending how low you are. It ain't cheap either. So

413
00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 2>in a way, I see this Electrify America and it's

414
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.400
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minutes away. Now I'm wondering do I have fifteen minutes?

415
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Do I have twenty miles or thirty miles in this

416
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.160
<v Speaker 2>vehicle to get there? Because if not, I'm freaking stuck

417
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:39.680
<v Speaker 2>in sulfur Louisiana. I ten, I'm screwed. I go all

418
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the way, and now I mean I got no air

419
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 2>conditioning on I I got no radio. I'm conservating every

420
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.039
<v Speaker 2>ounce of that freaking battery. I make it all the

421
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 2>way to Electrify America. And interesting enough, Electrify America they

422
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 2>had four No, no, they had eight chargers. And it's

423
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.039
<v Speaker 2>in a parking lot of a Walmart, which generally they are,

424
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.599
<v Speaker 2>and I'm fine with that. I live on the southwest

425
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 2>side of you. If I need a charger, I'll go

426
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to an Electrify America. I have an account, I get

427
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.640
<v Speaker 2>an app, I put my credit card in. I hope

428
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>no car is already charging itself. I hope all these

429
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 2>chargers are fully loaded and they're not broken. And then maybe,

430
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>if I'm lucky, I can get that out of there

431
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 2>thirty forty five minutes at a certain percent. I don't

432
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 2>even care about one hundred percent. I'd make it to

433
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Electrify America. It's now like nine fifteen in the morning,

434
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 2>cold morning. There is an empty slot. Generally there's a

435
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:33.319
<v Speaker 2>fast there's a ultra fast charger, and for the first time,

436
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen one of these things, there's a hyper

437
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.960
<v Speaker 2>fast charger. And I'm like, yes, I don't. I don't

438
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 2>have time to putts around. I want to get back

439
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to the hotel. I want to gamble a little bit more.

440
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully I've got enough juice in the vehicle and I'm

441
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna get back. So in a way, I have to

442
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 2>back it in a crazy way because the cord would

443
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.599
<v Speaker 2>not reach. So here I am at nine thirty nine

444
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 2>to twenty in the morning, and I am at Walmart,

445
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 2>and the Walmart's kind of packed because it's a few

446
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>days before Christmas. Put my app I get in there

447
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and cross my fingers. It works. It's starting charge. Okay,

448
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 2>if you just tuning in, I am now ten minutes

449
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.720
<v Speaker 2>into the story of why I will not buy an Evy.

450
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I am now ruined. Well, I'm not done yet. I've

451
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>not wasted it entire morning. I'm worried about it the

452
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 2>night before, so I'm not concentrating and having a good

453
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 2>time at the casino betting on the Cowboy game last Sun.

454
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>And no, no, no, I'm worried about Am I going

455
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.839
<v Speaker 2>to get home? It's on my mind? Okay that you

456
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>see where I'm going with over here, So I plug

457
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 2>it in. Well, now I have I have so low.

458
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>The estimated time of charging was an hour. Well, what

459
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>am I going to do? Well? This is why the

460
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Walmarts and stores of the world love having chargers in

461
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>the parking lots, because you ain't got nothing to do

462
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.880
<v Speaker 2>except get your button to that store and shop and

463
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:56.920
<v Speaker 2>buy crap that you don't need. Well, I showed them

464
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.200
<v Speaker 2>because I've wasted a lot of money at Walmart's. Every

465
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>time I've charged my vehicle before I walked around for

466
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a freaking hour. I didn't buy one freaking thing. So

467
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>take that Walmart, all right, You still make commission off

468
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of me whatever I paid, which I will tell you

469
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 2>how much I paid. Well, while you're charging, you can

470
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>monitor from your app what percentage at. So it's going

471
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty fast. Now for those of you under who understand

472
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 2>what kilowatts and how they work and how fast they go.

473
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:26.720
<v Speaker 2>This old tra no, this was a hyper fast. This

474
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 2>could charge up to and you have to use those words.

475
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Up to three hundred and fifty kilowatts per hour. That

476
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 2>is fast. It really really is if you can get that,

477
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>because generally I've seen seventy five, seventy eight, maybe eighty

478
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 2>kilowatts an hour. It's like, I'm not saying it's a

479
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>water dripping but imagine now we're at what four times faster,

480
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 2>four to five times faster, Well, it goes up to

481
00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>three fifty. Well, the max I was getting was about

482
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:57.880
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and seventy kilowats p hour. I'll take it.

483
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 2>It was still going forty five am, rolls around, ten o'clock,

484
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 2>rolls around. Now I'm fifty minutes. Now I'm fifty five minutes. Finally,

485
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:09.039
<v Speaker 2>as it gets to the end, it slows down. It

486
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 2>uncharged it two hundred and seventy kilowatts an hour, three hundred.

487
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:16.279
<v Speaker 2>It goes down to charges like thirty five kilowatts an hour,

488
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 2>nice and small, just to top it off, just to

489
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 2>top it off. I have no clue why they need

490
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.279
<v Speaker 2>to top it off. It's not like it's gonna overflow

491
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 2>with gas, but they're just good. They just topped it off.

492
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Now finally I stop. I'm at a hunt, am I

493
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>even one hundred? I think I'm ninety eight percent bat

494
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:37.319
<v Speaker 2>on my Hummer Rev. I now got have him back

495
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 2>to two hundred and eighty miles range. I have wasted

496
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.680
<v Speaker 2>over one hour in the morning just sitting at the

497
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>charger walking around Walmart, on top of another half an

498
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 2>hour forty five minutes going to try to even locate

499
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:52.880
<v Speaker 2>and find and drive to three different locations to find

500
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>a charger that works. Look at the app. Anybody guess

501
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>how freaking much I spent four an hour charging at

502
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 2>a hyper speed. Mm hm not fun, Nope, not at all.

503
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Let me pull up my receipt over here. Oh and

504
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 2>not only that, do you know how much money I

505
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 2>was wasting Electrify America. I have like a sinking fund,

506
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.279
<v Speaker 2>and every time it deposits ten dollars in there, I'll

507
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>get a text ten dollars was just charged to your

508
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>credit card? During that hour, I got no less than eight,

509
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:33.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe nine different text ding ten dollars is added, ding

510
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 2>ten dollars added. I walked out of there. Here's my bill.

511
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Max charging was only two hundred and fifty four kilowatts.

512
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.839
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't even two seven. I was lying. I sucked

513
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.559
<v Speaker 2>up one hundred and forty two kilowatts an hour. That's

514
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of powers. Because I was really low with

515
00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the sales tax. I paid for that hour eighty five dollars. Folks,

516
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Electricity in Texas and Louisiana is more than gasoline. Now

517
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.079
<v Speaker 2>you go to California, it's vice versa. Gasoline is very

518
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>expensive on the West Coast, electricity is not that much.

519
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I paid eighty five dollars wasted in an hour and

520
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 2>a half, two hours of that morning, worried about it

521
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 2>all that night. Finally get back to the hotel. I

522
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.440
<v Speaker 2>gamble a little, lose a little bit more. Check out,

523
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.599
<v Speaker 2>load it up, get in the hummer, make it all

524
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the way back to Houston, make it home. Peace out.

525
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I do not know how you could live

526
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 2>with an ev I'm not ragging her, but let me

527
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 2>tell you this, this is what I do. I'm not

528
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>a hater. Let me tell you some certain cases why

529
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 2>an EVY was good for me. No way, I did

530
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>not need that heartache. I did not need the worry.

531
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't need the potential wrinkles and gray hair that

532
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>that issue gave me. Evs are fine in generally, I

533
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>would say if you have two vehicles at home, if

534
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you are married, you live with somebody, make sure one

535
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 2>of your cars is gas powered. Then you can get

536
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the EV car, and whoever has the EV vehicle, use

537
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that just to go play around the neighborhood. Take the

538
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 2>kids to school, take them horseback riding, take them to

539
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>swim practice, take them cheerleading practice. You come home and

540
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.200
<v Speaker 2>you charge it in your garage. Maybe you have an

541
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 2>office within thirty forty miles of yourself cut. Hopefully you

542
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 2>have a charger at home. Hopefully you have one extra office.

543
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Charge it, charge it, charge it and get back. But

544
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.079
<v Speaker 2>if you rely on hey, let's go take a road

545
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:39.599
<v Speaker 2>trip this weekend. Let's go up to Austin to watch

546
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 2>a UT game. Maybe your kids at school, maybe you

547
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 2>go to college station. I don't know wherever you go.

548
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.000
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna need to plan this thing out. You're gonna

549
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>need to go. You're gonna need to figure out where,

550
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and you better hope a charger is available. You better

551
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:54.440
<v Speaker 2>hope it's at full speed. You better hope you've got

552
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:56.599
<v Speaker 2>some extra cash for that electricity you gotta pay for,

553
00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:59.559
<v Speaker 2>and then you're on your way. It's just it was

554
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 2>crazy that that is in twenty three years. That could

555
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have been my first two segment tirade I've ever done.

556
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 2>Now we're gonna open the phone lines three, four, six,

557
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine textan anybody feel free to jumping down load

558
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 2>on your experiences, good or bad when it comes to

559
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 2>something like that. But reason easily number one hundred and

560
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I got more of why I won't buy any EV.

561
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:35.480
<v Speaker 2>That was my weekend. Hey, happy Honka, Marry Chris Mess

<v Speaker 2>We're gonna come back. I'll tell you some of my

563
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 2>favorite apps of the year. Got some questions and answers.

564
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>We've got some phone calls. Michael Garfield is the name.

565
00:30:43.079 --> 00:31:04.559
<v Speaker 2>It is called The High Tech Text of Shocks, the

566
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>High Deck Dex and shit boy, I'm looking at the emails.

567
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, people are just I could I appreciate

568
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:16.279
<v Speaker 2>you enjoying my humor and story telling senses If you

569
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.279
<v Speaker 2>just tuned in, I spit the last two segments talking

570
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:24.240
<v Speaker 2>about one of the reasons that I personally personally will

571
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>not buy an EV. Don't hate on me if you

572
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.119
<v Speaker 2>have an EV. I'm not against evs, but for me,

573
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.000
<v Speaker 2>where I am in my life, my lifestyle, the kids

574
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.759
<v Speaker 2>are gone and I need to travel. I want to

575
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:36.200
<v Speaker 2>get in the car when I get gassed. I don't

576
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:39.319
<v Speaker 2>want to wait. I have ADHD I need let's go,

577
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 2>let's roll, Let's snap snap. But I broke down to

578
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 2>this past weekend when I just took a road trip

579
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.119
<v Speaker 2>and I was freaking out because I thought I was

580
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.119
<v Speaker 2>just I could not find a battery charger. It just

581
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 2>it happens. We need a better, better way of better process.

582
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Not so much the chargers need to be more ubiquitous

583
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.559
<v Speaker 2>in the world. They needed faster, they need to be faster.

584
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Waiting an hour it's just too much, man, how much

585
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.799
<v Speaker 2>you know much we already spend it BUCkies? My goodness,

586
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 2>I think I think maybe big Charger in Big Bucky

587
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 2>got together and said, you know what, we're just going

588
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.599
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that we screw these people and make

589
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:21.000
<v Speaker 2>more wait another hour, do that three times in that day.

590
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 2>You spend much money of BUCkies, you going to actually

591
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.640
<v Speaker 2>pay for a in actually new vehicle. Let me give

592
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 2>you the phone number here people. Also, the email is

593
00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Michael Garfield at dieheartmedia dot com. Uh it is three

594
00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.519
<v Speaker 2>four six two nine text and UH, if you call

595
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.440
<v Speaker 2>that number, this is what happens. You've got mail.

596
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 5>Hi John, just trying to get your thoughts on backing

597
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 5>up a PC or laptop. What you would recommend going

598
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:54.319
<v Speaker 5>to the cloud, having something in an external storage unit

599
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 5>of some nature, what have you? So, just trying to

600
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 5>get your thoughts on, kind of from scratch, how would

601
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:03.640
<v Speaker 5>you bet back up your information on your PC?

602
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much, absolute, great question. This is a question,

603
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>and thank you John. Appreciate that he called three four

604
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>six twenty nine text. And this is a question that

605
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't get merely as much as when I started

606
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.279
<v Speaker 2>this program. I started this show twenty years ago. Man,

607
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.000
<v Speaker 2>it's how do you store your information? What's the cheapest

608
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>way to do it? What's the most secure way? I

609
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>answer that on the regular basis. I don't answer it anymore,

610
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 2>but I'm more than happy to take this on for you.

611
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Wants to know what seems better if you're storing or

612
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 2>backing up information on your PC? Do you go cloud storage?

613
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you maybe get an external hard disk drive and

614
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>put it on your next to your desk and then

615
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 2>just transferred to via cable. Well, if you asked me

616
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.160
<v Speaker 2>this fifteen years ago, I easily would have said absolutely,

617
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.079
<v Speaker 2>get an external hard disk drive, and even today, these

618
00:33:55.200 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 2>hard drives, they're relatively inexpensive. You can get a terribius

619
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>two terabytes, three terabytes, one hundred dollars or so. That

620
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.880
<v Speaker 2>is really nothing. I mean they used to be measured

621
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 2>in megs and gigs and now they're terabytes. I mean

622
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of information. But I'm going to make

623
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 2>a case for cloud storage. I am because I'll start

624
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 2>with this. Backing up important files and data remains absolutely important. Vital,

625
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:25.119
<v Speaker 2>v it vital, even though I can't spell. Even with

626
00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 2>all the security and hardware issues, you have to back

627
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.639
<v Speaker 2>it up because your hard disk on your computer, your laptop,

628
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>it may fail, it may get an attack from malware. Now,

629
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>hopping data to an external hard drive, it was time consuming,

630
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.880
<v Speaker 2>it was cost effective. Though the landscape has changed. And

631
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.079
<v Speaker 2>let me tell you what. Let's look at cloud storage

632
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 2>versus external storage. Number one, the universal access. If you're

633
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>setting up a backup, it is really simple to go

634
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.159
<v Speaker 2>to a cloud storage. Maybe you call it iCloud, maybe

635
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.320
<v Speaker 2>you call it one draw, maybe you call it x drive,

636
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe you call it dropbox. Whatever. Cloud storage and backup

637
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 2>technology wins easily when it comes to the accessibility because

638
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 2>once you transfer files from your computer up to the cloud.

639
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>And when I say cloud and at listen, I apologize.

640
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I hate using that term. It's not I am not

641
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a meteorologist. Don't look up and oh is that a

642
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:24.719
<v Speaker 2>serious or a serious or nimbus? No, I'm not. It's

643
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:27.039
<v Speaker 2>not a cloud. The cloud is a server that is

644
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 2>off site that you really don't see. It's just up

645
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in the air, floating somewhere. Just kind of think of

646
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 2>it that way. It's actually a secure server run by

647
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 2>a company. Bottom line. To transfer files to and from

648
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:45.159
<v Speaker 2>the cloud, all you need is an Internet connection, period, photos, smartphone, tablet.

649
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>You can do it from anywhere, even without Wi Fi.

650
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:53.480
<v Speaker 2>All right. Now you can access it from anywhere you're

651
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:56.320
<v Speaker 2>on the road. You need the file, okay, if you

652
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.599
<v Speaker 2>have it, if you put it on your external hard

653
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:02.199
<v Speaker 2>drive on a terabyte next at your home or office.

654
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 2>That's not gonna do you today, too good, is it?

655
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 3>No?

656
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.199
<v Speaker 2>So Number one cloud when it comes to access Number two. Security.

657
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Security used to be a major flaw with cloud storage,

658
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 2>all right, because some cloud providers losers. They were being

659
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:19.400
<v Speaker 2>hacked and everything. Cloud storage security it's come a long way,

660
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:23.960
<v Speaker 2>it really has. Most secure cloud systems now use virtually

661
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:28.760
<v Speaker 2>uncrackable Advanced encryption standard. Actually it's two fifty six bit

662
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>aees that you don't care about. Apologize for throwing it

663
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.000
<v Speaker 2>out there, but it's advanced encryption standard, all right. It

664
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.599
<v Speaker 2>protects your data before it even leaves your device, so

665
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.679
<v Speaker 2>that's one. I trust it too. There's another one, the

666
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:43.119
<v Speaker 2>sink technology. One of the biggest vantages to cloud storage

667
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 2>is you can keep your files backed up all the time,

668
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's thanks to sinking technology. It runs in the

669
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>background on your device and it automatically uploads any new

670
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:56.199
<v Speaker 2>or modified files. Every photo you take Boom, you can

671
00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>set it where it automatically backs up. So if immediately

672
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you lose your phone, everything that you just took as

673
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a photo, it's on the cloud too. Bottom line, I

674
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:08.400
<v Speaker 2>think now there's a little question that cloud storage is

675
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the best way to back up your data. I think

676
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:11.559
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get more peace of mind the ability to

677
00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:15.400
<v Speaker 2>back up your data continuously from any device. In fact,

678
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 2>it may not be too long before physical hard drives

679
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:20.880
<v Speaker 2>may just become another casually of oh I remember this,

680
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:23.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not working now. To be sure, if you want

681
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.519
<v Speaker 2>suspenders and a belt, if you're be prepared eagle scout

682
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>like me, sure use a cloud and also use a

683
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>hard drive. I on my desktop at home have not one,

684
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.920
<v Speaker 2>but two hard drives. I transfer these every time I

685
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.199
<v Speaker 2>get a new computer desktop computer every few years. All

686
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I need to do is take this hard drive, plug

687
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 2>it in. I can down upload it that way. But

688
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:49.360
<v Speaker 2>even if the cloud goes down, even it's something I

689
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 2>know now, not only do I have a copy of

690
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.599
<v Speaker 2>my stuff down cloud, I also have it on a

691
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 2>hard drive too. But you don't need that. But again,

692
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:58.000
<v Speaker 2>if all you worry worked out there, if you've got

693
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:00.679
<v Speaker 2>something precious, all your family and the mentos, the videos,

694
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.599
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and do it down God great question. I

695
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.039
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that we've got one more hour to go thro it.

696
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.400
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, I'm actually going to tell you

697
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:11.119
<v Speaker 2>a little something about Apple, and I don't talk about Apple.

698
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a rumor, but Apple really getting into the smart homes.

699
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.639
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to infiltrate it. I don't know if I

700
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:21.599
<v Speaker 2>or you like, though, what Apple rumored device is going

701
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:23.320
<v Speaker 2>to do. I will tell you what that is on

702
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 2>the other side, along with a few of the things

703
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:27.800
<v Speaker 2>that I think I'm going to see in about a

704
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>week and a half at Consumer Electronics show that I

705
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.320
<v Speaker 2>know you're not gonna want and you're not gonna afford.

706
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.599
<v Speaker 2>So we played the game. People, it is Michael Garfield,

707
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>high Tech Texting. Happy in the Year.

708

<v Speaker 1>you make magic with your gadgets. Heard worldwide on the

715
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:24.800
<v Speaker 1>iHeart Radio after now You're high Tech Texan Michael Garfield.

716
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 2>The show of twenty four Happy post Christmas people are

717
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 2>people have emailed me, Michael very cute. Did you use chat,

718
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.840
<v Speaker 2>GPT or AI to come up with your little poem

719
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 2>at the opening the show? No, people, I actually went

720
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:45.079
<v Speaker 2>to school the University of Texas, took some English classes

721
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:48.079
<v Speaker 2>and majored in communication, and I can come up with stuff.

722
00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.039
<v Speaker 2>So let's one more time. Let's do it. As we

723
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.800
<v Speaker 2>approach the halfway market is halfway to halfy hour in people,

724
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.239
<v Speaker 2>you're probably not working right now in his happy hour

725
00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:59.320
<v Speaker 2>right now, and it's a weekend. You got listen to

726
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys s and his toast Longhorns are still in play.

727
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.079
<v Speaker 2>So whatever you're celebrating, do it. But which was the

728
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:10.400
<v Speaker 2>weekend after Christmas? And all across the ear waves most

729
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:14.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone is still sleeping. Oh my, what an outrage. You

730
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 2>should be listening to the high Tech Texan because if

731
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:20.400
<v Speaker 2>you have gifts to return, you won't be a sweaton.

732
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.199
<v Speaker 2>My name is Michael, and thanks for tuning in. We've

733
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:28.400

00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:46.440

00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:13.239

00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I like tuna, tartar, nachos are good? Oh? Apps not appetizer?

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, thanks Callum? Callum is my guy over here?

<v Speaker 3>Bro?

00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean bottomless chips. They're good, you know, maybe a

755
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 2>little French onion soup. Good apps? Oh? Apps? Okay. So

756
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to technology, all right, we'll tell you

757
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.199
<v Speaker 2>what we're gonna get. If you I'm gonna give you

758
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:37.679
<v Speaker 2>two or three or four of mine that I can

759
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 2>think of as I'm cruising my phone. Maybe give you

760
00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:42.639
<v Speaker 2>something to download if you've got a new phone for

761
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the holidays. But also if you have something to share,

762
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:49.639
<v Speaker 2>what was your favorite app? Your favorite product? Three four

763
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:53.639
<v Speaker 2>six two nine T e x A N Michael Garfield

764
00:41:53.719 --> 00:42:00.639
<v Speaker 2>at iHeartMedia, Twitter x Blue Sky, high Tech text and

765
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Spell the whole thing out and also Instagram growing even more.

766
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.360
<v Speaker 2>That's where I give away. When I talk about something,

767
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.320
<v Speaker 2>let's see if we can give it away. And I

768
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of that stuff on Instagram, and I

769
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:12.320
<v Speaker 2>show you a lot of the videos that I'm playing

770
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.400
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of shiny new apps this past year.

771
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Every app is going to revolutionize your life, all right.

772
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Some will stick to the basics, some of them will

773
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 2>go overboard. Some of them are confusing, some of them

774
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 2>cost money, some of them are worthless. There's a lot

775
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.760
<v Speaker 2>of one of the apps that I have probably used

776
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:35.039
<v Speaker 2>more than anything else. And I've had this over have

777
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I had it over a year? I may have but

778
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.840
<v Speaker 2>one I still like and I'm gonna throw an ash

779
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:42.519
<v Speaker 2>recovery here. It's a video editing software. I do a

780
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:44.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of video editing when it comes to Instagram, and

781
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:50.920
<v Speaker 2>probably the easiest video editor that is so simple that

782
00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:53.079
<v Speaker 2>when I show this to some of my cohorts in

783
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the TV business who like me, learn to edit on

784
00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a real Avid edit machine and splice tape and everything

785
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:03.239
<v Speaker 2>is just unbelievable. How how far editing has come. My

786
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.880
<v Speaker 2>favorite editor that I use, and again not paid whatsoever.

787
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I wish they paid me. None of this stuff is paid.

788
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:12.599
<v Speaker 2>This is just my opinion. Cap Cut c Apcut. It's

789
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:15.519
<v Speaker 2>good for Android, it's good for iOS. It's a video

790
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:18.840
<v Speaker 2>adding it is simple it is for on the go creators.

791
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:21.719
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that you may want to be weary

792
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and leary about. This company is owned by the same

793
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:30.800
<v Speaker 2>company that owns TikTok. That same company TikTok, which may

794
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.119
<v Speaker 2>be banned the United States the next few weeks. Byte

795
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Dance owns cap cut. I don't own I've never my

796
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:41.239
<v Speaker 2>life downloaded TikTok. I use most every other social app.

797
00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I just don't use TikTok. I don't use I don't

798
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 2>not use a double negative, I don't not use TikTok

799
00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:51.000
<v Speaker 2>really top of mind because it's owned by a Chinese company,

800
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.719
<v Speaker 2>byt dance, because I use I'm playing with two phones

801
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.320
<v Speaker 2>right now that are Chinese owned companies. I use cap cut,

802
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.000
<v Speaker 2>which is owned by the exact putty bite Dance that

803
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.880
<v Speaker 2>has issues. I just never wanted to use tech doc.

804
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:06.079
<v Speaker 2>It's just maybe I thought initially it was just for

805
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the young crowd. I know it's not anymore. I just

806
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't really have the time or wherewith all do

807
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:16.480
<v Speaker 2>even download another social media but cap cut simple, I

808
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:18.880
<v Speaker 2>like it. I use the free of it edition. There

809
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>is a pro edition. You could do so many things.

810
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.920
<v Speaker 2>That's number one. What else do I like, what else

811
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.440
<v Speaker 2>do I use? Let's see, I use Android a lot,

812
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and I have been pretty impressed with their What's called

813
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Gemini and what Google Gemini is. It's kind of like

814
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:41.280
<v Speaker 2>a chat GPT. It's an AI assistant and it gives

815
00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:45.840
<v Speaker 2>you access to a lot of different AI models out there.

816
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:48.559
<v Speaker 2>One of the recent updates and one of the things

817
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:51.400
<v Speaker 2>that I'm playing now is like a virtual chat. Instead

818
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:53.719
<v Speaker 2>of just asking you a question, you literally can have

819
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.639
<v Speaker 2>a conversation with this thing. So you ask a question

820
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Google Gemini, but you download for free and there is

821
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.280
<v Speaker 2>an upgrade version too. You ask it a question and

822
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:03.760
<v Speaker 2>they give you kind of an answer, but then you

823
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:06.199
<v Speaker 2>still have another question. Will you ask a question again

824
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:07.519
<v Speaker 2>on top of that one? And they're going to come

825
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.360
<v Speaker 2>back and I'm not going to say debate, but they

826
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:12.719
<v Speaker 2>go back and forth. At Rick's works really good. I

827
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:17.639
<v Speaker 2>thought that was neat too. What is another one I like?

828
00:45:18.920 --> 00:45:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, I did make a list over here. Here's

829
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 2>one that's called flighty fli ght Y and what it is.

830
00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It's going to tell you every single thing about your flights,

831
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:36.639
<v Speaker 2>real time updates, alerts, delay predictions, so you're always going

832
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.679
<v Speaker 2>to be one of the first to note and rebook.

833
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.079
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to use, easy to read, and it works

834
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.679
<v Speaker 2>very well. Along with that, I have another one over here.

835
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 2>It's called a Ward wallet. I've been using this one.

836
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:52.400
<v Speaker 2>You sign up for free, and what this does attracts

837
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.880
<v Speaker 2>your credit cards, your loyalty points, your travel plans, and

838
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 2>the secure account that you can get right in your

839
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>pocket on your phone. Yes, I use Google Wallet too,

840
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.159
<v Speaker 2>that does my credit cards, my low few points. But

841
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:06.239
<v Speaker 2>this because it adds in a little bit of travel.

842
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I like this also Award Wallet, and they've got partnerships.

843
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I think this has got a partnership with everything from

844
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Capital One to Chase, to Hilton, to City to Marriott,

845
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Bank of America, and it goes on and on and

846
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.079
<v Speaker 2>so it's a it's a free service and they're tracking

847
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.440
<v Speaker 2>everything from dining to cruises to trains to credit cards

848
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and what have you. And so those Let's see if

849
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I can think of one or two more where I

850
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.039
<v Speaker 2>can think of before we get the break over here,

851
00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:31.599
<v Speaker 2>which is three four six twenty nine textan as I

852
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:34.559
<v Speaker 2>see some phone calls getting ready to come in, uh,

853
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:37.079
<v Speaker 2>photo and answers. Some people want to I, you know

854
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:41.360
<v Speaker 2>what for a long time, my favorite photo. It's not

855
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:44.639
<v Speaker 2>AI really, I mean, it just enhances your photos. It

856
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:49.000
<v Speaker 2>will make the colors brighter. It can, you know, do

857
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:53.280
<v Speaker 2>a number of different things. I like snapseed free, snap

858
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:56.239
<v Speaker 2>seed long use that. But there's another one I saw

859
00:46:56.400 --> 00:47:02.320
<v Speaker 2>called Radiant Imagining Radiant Imagine. I'm going make shure you no,

860
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:04.639
<v Speaker 2>not Radiant Photo Radio. Let me give you the exact

861
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:08.920
<v Speaker 2>website Radiantimagining Labs dot com, Radiant and I guess you

862
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.840
<v Speaker 2>could download the app at Radiant Photo. This one may

863
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:13.639
<v Speaker 2>be paid. I did try this. I think I got

864
00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:15.360
<v Speaker 2>just a kind of one or two type of thing,

865
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:18.639
<v Speaker 2>little bit more intricate where you have to start checking

866
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.519
<v Speaker 2>and unchecking some boxes. To me, it's not a simplest napstream.

867
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:27.199
<v Speaker 2>But cameras are really good. They're getting better. But sometimes

868
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you take it real fast, you have a filter, there's

869
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.079
<v Speaker 2>smudges on your lens, or you want to sex it

870
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:33.039
<v Speaker 2>up as I call it. You may want to, you

871
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:35.320
<v Speaker 2>may I want a photo and answer. So those are

872
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the few I have. We're gonna take a break. You

873
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.559
<v Speaker 2>tell me what are some of your best apps. Michael

874
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Garfield is the name Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com

875
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:46.280
<v Speaker 2>three four six, twenty nine text, all right, when we

876
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:48.800
<v Speaker 2>come back, got a question and answer? Someone did write

877
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:50.679
<v Speaker 2>an email and I got a question about a router

878
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 2>where to place it in their home? Because it's a

879
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:57.039
<v Speaker 2>new type of router. You may have this type of

880
00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.159
<v Speaker 2>router too. You may need to know the answer. That's

881
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 2>why you're gonna hang around and high tech text show

882
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you the high deck Text the show, final episode of

883
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:31.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty four Hi, you're new to the show. If you're

884
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:33.280
<v Speaker 2>in San Antonio, Dallas, you have no clue who I am,

885
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:35.280
<v Speaker 2>where you've been people who've been in Houston for twenty

886
00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:37.239
<v Speaker 2>three years. I do want to think my boss is

887
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:39.280
<v Speaker 2>something that I am thankful for this year and only

888
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:44.000
<v Speaker 2>took freaking two decades. Brian Erickson, Eddie Martini. They are

889
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:47.000
<v Speaker 2>with iHeartMedia. They've long been my bosses. They say, garf Man,

890
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:49.079
<v Speaker 2>you got some good BS, which, by the way, I

891
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:50.960
<v Speaker 2>really do have good BS, which, by the way, I

892
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.840
<v Speaker 2>have a BS degree, which by the way, does not

893
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:56.000
<v Speaker 2>stand for Bachelor of Science. If you know what, i'maiah.

894
00:48:56.639 --> 00:48:58.239
<v Speaker 2>They said, you know what, You've been doing this for

895
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:01.000
<v Speaker 2>two decades in the Houston area. You know, the biggest

896
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:03.679
<v Speaker 2>city in Texas fourth largest in the country. You know what,

897
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:06.400
<v Speaker 2>let's let's put you in some other markets across Texas.

898
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:09.679
<v Speaker 2>And so my hometown of Dallas where my parents can

899
00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:13.679
<v Speaker 2>terrestrially listen to me on eleven ninety am. And also

900
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:18.159
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio, fun town, great city. What's up twelve hundred WAI.

901
00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I do, thank you, and that's nice to have you

902
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:21.719
<v Speaker 2>guys part of the family. I'm hearing a lot from

903
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 2>you and some really nice comments. You guys are very sweet.

904
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting for Clymped. Two or three weeks ago, I was,

905
00:49:29.320 --> 00:49:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was playing a game. I like playing

906
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:35.119
<v Speaker 2>the over undergame and I was playing the over a

907
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:40.280
<v Speaker 2>under game on the Equifax. Anybody heard of Equifax. Equifax

908
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.159
<v Speaker 2>had a breach and this is where you know, you

909
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:46.159
<v Speaker 2>check your your credit and everything was last year or two,

910
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:51.320
<v Speaker 2>and the government made them settle with most everybody who

911
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:54.199
<v Speaker 2>was affected in anybody who put a request in to

912
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:57.360
<v Speaker 2>get money back, and I think Equifax in the US

913
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.599
<v Speaker 2>court settled that Equifax would have to pay four hundred

914
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five million dollars divided among everybody who put

915
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:09.320
<v Speaker 2>in a claim. And I've I've played these before. You know,

916
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Apple does this oh, we have to pay out one

917
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollars and you end up getting about fourteen tents.

918
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.360
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, four hundred twenty five million dollars months ago,

919
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and you can't do it anymore because my information was

920
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:24.519
<v Speaker 2>actually breached, and I put an acclaim and I guessed,

921
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:29.920
<v Speaker 2>guessed the over under was it like fourteen dollars and

922
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.000
<v Speaker 2>ten cents or something like that? Well, guess what I

923
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:35.159
<v Speaker 2>got an email? I got an email man, and it

924
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:38.199
<v Speaker 2>did I know exactly? They told me how much I got?

925
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Any guesses? Four hundred twenty five million dollars goes out

926
00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to the folks of the United States whose information and

927
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Equifax credit was was hatched. Yes, sir, if anybody wants

928
00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:58.880
<v Speaker 2>coke zero and maybe a coffee, my twenty one dollars

929
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen, well got juke covered twenty one nineteen. Not

930
00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:09.599
<v Speaker 2>only did I get twenty one nineteen. I don't get

931
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:12.760
<v Speaker 2>that in cash. I don't get that in check. Oh no,

932
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:19.880
<v Speaker 2>they email me a prepaid CARDO people, I'm protecting my

933
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:22.440
<v Speaker 2>phone baby right now because in my Google wallet, I

934
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:26.639
<v Speaker 2>gots me a prepaid card for twenty one bones and

935
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:31.079
<v Speaker 2>nineteen cents. It's how I roll life. Is fair, people,

936
00:51:31.199 --> 00:51:33.320
<v Speaker 2>life is absolutely fair. How cool is that? Well? I

937
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:36.599
<v Speaker 2>was closed? All right? Well we got three four six

938
00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:39.360
<v Speaker 2>two nine te x A N. That's the phone number here,

939

<v Speaker 2>three four six twenty nine texts in you're gonna call

940
00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:44.360

941
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:47.039
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear anybody, it's a voicemail, leave a voicemail.

942
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:49.320
<v Speaker 2>We have the right to actually to play it. But

943
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.599
<v Speaker 2>we also read your you know what we read. We

944
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.119
<v Speaker 2>read your emails. We absolutely read your emails, and you

945
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:57.199
<v Speaker 2>know what. Let's start with one because somebody has sent

946
00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 2>me a little something to Michael Garfield Didiheartmedia dot com.

947
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:01.199
<v Speaker 3>You've got mail.

948
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:06.480
<v Speaker 2>This one comes in from Jonah. Jonah is in Bernie, Texas.

949
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.880
<v Speaker 2>What's up there? You go one of our newer markets.

950
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for tuning in. Jonah says, hey, dear Michael,

951
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I actually listened to you on app and I've heard

952
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.599
<v Speaker 2>you for many, many years. I asked you a question

953
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:18.679
<v Speaker 2>years ago about a router, and you talked to me

954
00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:21.719
<v Speaker 2>about this Mesh system router that apparently use. I got

955
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:23.000
<v Speaker 2>one and it works.

956
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Well.

957
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:26.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking of upgrading mine right now because it's a

958
00:52:26.079 --> 00:52:28.800
<v Speaker 2>few years old. And I want to see what your

959
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:32.119
<v Speaker 2>recommendation is or is there a place in my house

960
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that I may want to relocate it to to get

961
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:36.400
<v Speaker 2>me higher speeds because it doesn't seem that my speed

962
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.599
<v Speaker 2>of the Internet transfer is high enough. What are your

963
00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:43.119
<v Speaker 2>thoughts level? Listen to your show, glad you're here on WAI. Well,

964
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:47.199
<v Speaker 2>there you go. Mesh routers, Well, it's a mesh router

965
00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:49.400
<v Speaker 2>is a type of Wi Fi router? All right, And

966
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:51.400
<v Speaker 2>we know what Wi Fi is. Odds are you have

967
00:52:51.480 --> 00:52:54.519
<v Speaker 2>a Wi Fi router at home that you either buy

968
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe you rent from your Internet service provider. But the

969
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:01.480
<v Speaker 2>routers themselves, they're not all the prettiest gadget to look at.

970
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you hide it in a corner, maybe in a

971
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:06.840
<v Speaker 2>closet where people don't sit there and look at it.

972
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.599
<v Speaker 2>But then again, there's another type of system. There's a

973
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:14.199
<v Speaker 2>mesh system. And the easiest way for me to describe

974
00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:19.000
<v Speaker 2>what a mesh system, it's a multi point system. Here's

975
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:22.320
<v Speaker 2>my analogy. This is how the cell phone industry works.

976
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:24.679
<v Speaker 2>You know what a cell phone tower looks like When

977
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you're driving around anywhere in this country of the world,

978
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:31.679
<v Speaker 2>you're on the phone. What's happening is your phone is

979
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:36.159
<v Speaker 2>connecting to the nearest cell phone tower wherever you are.

980
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:38.760
<v Speaker 2>But as you keep driving down the road and highway,

981
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.639
<v Speaker 2>that cell phone tower hands off your call to the

982
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:44.880
<v Speaker 2>next cell phone tower and to the next one to

983
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:48.159
<v Speaker 2>make it close. What that does that cell phone tower,

984
00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:51.760
<v Speaker 2>it really is like a repeater from the various self

985
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:55.679
<v Speaker 2>data network. That's what a mesh system is. In your house,

986
00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:59.800
<v Speaker 2>there is a Wi Fi router where the Internet comes

987
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:03.320
<v Speaker 2>in and it's throwing out a signal to this little

988
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:08.000
<v Speaker 2>tiny repeater that sometimes you can have two, three, four

989
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:10.960
<v Speaker 2>of them around your home and it bounces off these

990
00:54:11.519 --> 00:54:14.159
<v Speaker 2>and it makes this signal stronger. Yes, it could be

991
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:17.440
<v Speaker 2>called a bridge, but now they're called mesh system because

992
00:54:17.639 --> 00:54:19.639
<v Speaker 2>if you close your eyes and pretend like you're in

993
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a tom Cruise Sneaky, you know, you know movie or

994
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:27.559
<v Speaker 2>something like Mission Impossible, there's this imagine a mesh system

995
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:32.559
<v Speaker 2>overlapping signals and airwaves that is just meshing and covering

996
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:35.840
<v Speaker 2>every single aspect of your home inside and out, and

997
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:39.239
<v Speaker 2>so you've got constant coverage. That's why mesh systems work well.

998
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I like them a lot. I have a mesh system

999
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:44.280
<v Speaker 2>and I've tested a lot of these things. They're multi devices.

1000
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you can plug these things into directly into the

1001
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:49.960
<v Speaker 2>outlet on the wall. Sometimes they're the same color. You

1002
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 2>really can't see these things. But if you've got a

1003
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:55.880
<v Speaker 2>two level, three level house, you've got a large outside

1004
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:58.400
<v Speaker 2>your back and you can't get the signal up. Try

1005
00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a mesh system. You can get these from one hundred

1006
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five, two hundred, two hundred and fifty dollars.

1007
00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Really no way reason to go whether two hundred and

1008
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:07.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty dollars or so. There's a lot of them. But

1009
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you got a good question, Jonah, do you actually need

1010
00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:15.280
<v Speaker 2>a new mess system? Because Number one, when you position

1011
00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:18.760
<v Speaker 2>a router in your home or office or somewhere, you

1012
00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:22.039
<v Speaker 2>really need to think about where you're placing it. You

1013
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:27.239
<v Speaker 2>want to consider where that router, where those satellite extenders are. Okay,

1014
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:32.559
<v Speaker 2>some of the guidelines move your main router. First things First,

1015
00:55:32.639 --> 00:55:34.679
<v Speaker 2>you want the main router in your setup to be

1016
00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:39.360
<v Speaker 2>located as centrally in your home as possible. That's the

1017
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:40.920
<v Speaker 2>same approach you're going to take with you even just

1018
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:43.639
<v Speaker 2>have a single router. Routers put out a Wi Fi

1019
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:47.760
<v Speaker 2>signal in all directions. So placing your router in essential

1020
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:49.920
<v Speaker 2>location within your home. It's going to make the most

1021
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.719
<v Speaker 2>out of your connection. If you hide it in the closet,

1022
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:55.719
<v Speaker 2>it's that signal has a lot farther to go. It's

1023
00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:57.280
<v Speaker 2>got to go through your clothes, it's got to go

1024
00:55:57.440 --> 00:55:59.199
<v Speaker 2>through a door. It may be in the back of

1025
00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:01.519
<v Speaker 2>your house, through a bedroom. To even get out of

1026
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:03.719
<v Speaker 2>your house, then you've got a brick wall, and that

1027
00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 2>thing is very tough going to going through brick walls too.

1028
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:10.519
<v Speaker 2>In terms of the signal mesh systems, same thing. The

1029
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:13.159
<v Speaker 2>strength of the connection near your extenders is largely going

1030
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to depend on the strength of the incoming signal from

1031
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:18.039
<v Speaker 2>that main router. So the stronger connection between those two,

1032
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:21.880
<v Speaker 2>it's going to ensure you're hitting the fastest Wi Fi. Now,

1033
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:24.880
<v Speaker 2>your options for moving the roder may seem limited by

1034
00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:28.159
<v Speaker 2>that location of your modem and the incoming wiring for

1035
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.000
<v Speaker 2>your home's Internet connection. Maybe you get an extra long

1036
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:33.360
<v Speaker 2>ethernet and cable that could come in handy. It could

1037
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:38.840
<v Speaker 2>move it away. Don't laugh. Even moving your router one two, three,

1038
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:41.960
<v Speaker 2>four feet away from where it is may help. Try

1039
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:44.199
<v Speaker 2>not to keep it directly to your computer, Try not

1040
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to keep it near a microwave. Try not to keep

1041
00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:49.800
<v Speaker 2>it next to a baby monitor because sometimes those frequency

1042
00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:53.639
<v Speaker 2>can frequencies can overlap. You'd be amazed how stronger or

1043
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:55.760
<v Speaker 2>how weaker actually, depending on where you move it, that

1044
00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:58.239
<v Speaker 2>your router is going to work. So a good rule

1045
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.320
<v Speaker 2>of thumb keep it the way. Keep the devices in

1046
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:03.840
<v Speaker 2>your mess set up no more than two rooms away

1047
00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:05.840
<v Speaker 2>from each other. It's gonna vary from home to home.

1048
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:09.199
<v Speaker 2>Furniture that can also block Wi Fi signals too. Try

1049
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.960
<v Speaker 2>not put anything bulky. Don't put like the you know,

1050
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:14.400
<v Speaker 2>any China cabinets, maybe not like a big old sofa

1051
00:57:14.480 --> 00:57:17.880
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. Avoid dead zones. I told you

1052
00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:23.000
<v Speaker 2>to watch out for closets, right, don't put a dead zone. Finally,

1053
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:26.360
<v Speaker 2>how do you tell run a speed test? You know

1054
00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:30.559
<v Speaker 2>there's diagnostic tools in your messages routers app right, but really,

1055
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:34.559
<v Speaker 2>there are so many free services online that you could do.

1056
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I think one's called speed test dot net or something

1057
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:40.559
<v Speaker 2>like that, totally free. Go stand in a certain part

1058
00:57:40.639 --> 00:57:44.000
<v Speaker 2>of your house and hit this and hit a button.

1059
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:47.239
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna wait thirty seconds. Maybe it's gonna download something

1060
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and it'll show you how fast, how many megabits, how

1061
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:53.679
<v Speaker 2>many gigabits. For second, your speed is keep moving your

1062
00:57:54.159 --> 00:57:56.679
<v Speaker 2>router around, stay in your same place, and try that

1063
00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:58.760
<v Speaker 2>test again. And when you find one of the fastest,

1064
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:02.000
<v Speaker 2>if not the fastest place, then keep it there. There

1065
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you go, and let me give you it real quickly.

1066
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:06.880
<v Speaker 2>But we've got a break before I give you a

1067
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:11.119
<v Speaker 2>few brands. I use Amplify, a m P L I

1068
00:58:11.639 --> 00:58:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Fi Amplify. I use that for a while. It's good.

1069
00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:16.199
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of good just as good ones, if

1070
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:19.760
<v Speaker 2>not better ones. TP Link, net Gear Link, Sis makes

1071
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:23.239
<v Speaker 2>a nice one. EO E E R O d Link.

1072
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:26.760
<v Speaker 2>They've long made routers too, Aris A R R I

1073
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:30.639
<v Speaker 2>S they make those things too. Do some research. Maybe

1074
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:32.239
<v Speaker 2>this is something you want to return right now that

1075
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you got for Christmas, Honika, that you don't want, but

1076
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what, you got more and more people using

1077
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:39.000
<v Speaker 2>your wifie. You got kids there, You want a strong

1078
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Wi Fi network and you should be set to go.

1079
00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:43.639
<v Speaker 2>So I hope that answers Jonah, Thank you so much

1080
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.599
<v Speaker 2>for your question. Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com. Just

1081
00:58:47.639 --> 00:58:49.719
<v Speaker 2>a few more segments when we come back. What I

1082
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:52.119
<v Speaker 2>expect to see at the Consumer Electronics Show and oh

1083
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.199
<v Speaker 2>by the way. I saw something at CES last year.

1084
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.800
<v Speaker 2>It was a TV. These TVs that you think we

1085
00:58:58.920 --> 00:59:01.400
<v Speaker 2>don't need that TV? What does it do now that

1086
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:04.239
<v Speaker 2>other TVs can't? Well, it just came out and boy

1087
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:06.519
<v Speaker 2>does this one have a price tag? Pretty much you

1088
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:10.480
<v Speaker 2>could choose to have a television or a very nice automobile.

1089
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you about that on the side. Yeh's could

1090
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:35.480
<v Speaker 2>be more secondents left in this year of the high

1091
00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:38.280
<v Speaker 2>tech texting the show Michael Garfield, thank you for tuning in.

1092
00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Happy uh hope you had a really nice Christmas? I

1093
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:44.480
<v Speaker 2>really do and happy Honka. So technically, well, it depends

1094
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:46.599
<v Speaker 2>on when you're listening. And we got maybe what the

1095
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.880
<v Speaker 2>third or the fourth night light? Those candles Honika very

1096
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.280
<v Speaker 2>late this year, which means you still have time to

1097
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:55.320
<v Speaker 2>get something you don't want. Are you people celebrating who

1098
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:58.159
<v Speaker 2>celebrated Christmas? You got your gift, man, you better live

1099
00:59:58.199 --> 00:59:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with it or you better call in and let me know.

1100
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, Michael, I need to return this day. I

1101
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:03.960
<v Speaker 2>got I got the gift for see what do I

1102
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:06.039
<v Speaker 2>what should I get? I can do that too. I

1103
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:08.800
<v Speaker 2>can tell you something else to get. Three four six

1104
01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine, Texan anybody. I guess the holiday movies are

1105
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:18.920
<v Speaker 2>over right now. It took me almost it took the

1106
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:23.119
<v Speaker 2>last minute because my favorite holiday is love, actually absolutely

1107
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>love it. I generally see it a few times each

1108
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>season before this week started. I don't think I saw

1109
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>it once, but I ended up seeing at least I

1110
01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:35.079
<v Speaker 2>hit it three times. All I want for Christmas is

1111
01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:38.559
<v Speaker 2>it shut up. I love that movie. I didn't see

1112
01:00:38.639 --> 01:00:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Brown this year. Saw Home Alone. I saw Home Alone, too,

1113
01:00:43.719 --> 01:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>lost in New York a few times, didn't find Home Alone,

1114
01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:51.559
<v Speaker 2>saw post alone. I what else did I see? I

1115
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:56.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't see. I saw Fred Claus was on. I seemed

1116
01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:57.639
<v Speaker 2>like ten minutes in the movie. I didn't get into

1117
01:00:57.639 --> 01:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Fred Claus. Didn't see I saw Rudolph okay good, Rudolph

1118
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>is always good. Didn't see The Year with Out of

1119
01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Santa Claus. I mean, I guess that's it, man, I

1120
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>guess I have to wait or I can actually go

1121
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube and see the whole thing. I did see

1122
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>a movie, though, now I could talk about this right now.

1123
01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw a movie at the beginning of December, and

1124
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I was under embargo not to give it a review

1125
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>until it came out Christmas is here. It opened Christmas Day.

1126
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Did anybody see A Complete Unknown? That's the new movie

1127
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:32.800
<v Speaker 2>about Bob Dylan starring Timothy Shanna may So. I saw

1128
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:34.679
<v Speaker 2>that movie. And I get to see a lot of

1129
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:37.559
<v Speaker 2>media screening movies, just like I get, you know, when

1130
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I review a lot of products I am sometimes I'm

1131
01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>under embargo. I cannot talk about it, to read about

1132
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:47.679
<v Speaker 2>a post about it, yap about it until the embargo lifts. Well,

1133
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:50.199
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. I saw this in early December weeks ago,

1134
01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and I've been sitting on it. It is a fantastic

1135
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>It's an unbelievable movie. And I'm gonna say this. I

1136
01:01:56.519 --> 01:01:59.159
<v Speaker 2>am not a Bob Dylan fan, never as much as

1137
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>a music fan I am. I never got into Dylan.

1138
01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:06.239
<v Speaker 2>I really don't like folk music. But what Timothy shallow

1139
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>May did, and I didn't even know much about Timothy

1140
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>shallow May never so Wonka Ornither or Doune or whatever

1141
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:15.239
<v Speaker 2>they did do, he literally transformed himself. I mean, he

1142
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:21.360
<v Speaker 2>was al Pacino into Scarface, he was Val Kilmer into

1143
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:26.599
<v Speaker 2>Jim Morrison the Doors. He was I mean, unbelievable. It did,

1144
01:02:26.760 --> 01:02:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it was great. I think he did his own singing too,

1145
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>It's worth it, especially if you're Dylan fan. A little long,

1146
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>very heavy on the Dylan songs, which I didn't know

1147
01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:37.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them, but it was it was good.

1148
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I really really like it. So no, there's my two

1149
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>cents on that three four six, twenty eight nine Texan.

1150
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Any other movies or shows that I need to download?

1151
01:02:47.079 --> 01:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I am here for I promised you this Apple. You're

1152
01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:53.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna learn that I don't talk about Apple a lot.

1153
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm more of an Android. Yeah, what an away. Apple's

1154
01:02:55.320 --> 01:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>trying to get into these smart smart home business stronger

1155
01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and stronger. There's a latest development, and as with anything

1156
01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>with Apple, it's all rumor. You never know. Rumor. They're

1157
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>reportedly we're apparently their Apple is going after the ring doorbell.

1158
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Apple is reportedly working on a smart doorbell wait for it,

1159
01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:21.920
<v Speaker 2>that unlocks for household members that it recognizes, and it's

1160
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>going to use allegedly advanced facial recognition technology that wirelessly

1161
01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:30.880
<v Speaker 2>connects to a dead boat lock. The doorbell would unlock

1162
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the door for people it recognizes, So it's kind of

1163
01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:38.880
<v Speaker 2>like face ID on your iPhone. Now, if this is coming,

1164
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>it ain't gonna be for another year or so. But

1165
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:45.079
<v Speaker 2>when I heard about this. I'm like, okay, it makes

1166
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:48.119
<v Speaker 2>sense because it's aligning with Apple's vision to deepen its

1167
01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:52.719
<v Speaker 2>footprint in this smart home market, because Apple has long

1168
01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>lag behind Google and Amazon in that smart home market.

1169
01:03:56.679 --> 01:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Many how many of you have the Amazon Echo? How

1170
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>many you have a Google Nest? I got both of them,

1171
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I've got right now. I got a Google door Bell,

1172
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>I've got one two, I got two Amazon Nests. I

1173
01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:11.239
<v Speaker 2>got three to four Google Nests and Echoes and there

1174
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:15.119
<v Speaker 2>everywhere there are. But listen, to be fair, there are

1175
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:22.519
<v Speaker 2>already smart locks that use facial recognition. But Apple is like, ooh, well,

1176
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>we have great commitment to user privacy. We're not going

1177
01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to sell it to anybody else. I think. I also

1178
01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:32.159
<v Speaker 2>heard they're developing an in home security camera to rival Google, Nest,

1179
01:04:32.280 --> 01:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Amazon Ring and whatever. But I think a move if

1180
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:38.599
<v Speaker 2>they do this into the security camera market can also

1181
01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>boost the adoption of their iCloud subscriptions and things like that.

1182
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>So we shall see. I know, I guarantee I will

1183
01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>not see that at SES. Apple does nothing at the

1184
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Consumer Electronics Show zero. They always have their own events.

1185
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:54.880
<v Speaker 2>They always launched whatever they want, So I can't tell

1186
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:58.559
<v Speaker 2>you about that, but there was a massive smart home section.

1187
01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to come back with everything from smart toilet,

1188
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>smart refrigerator, smart dishwashers, smart cameras, and smart Who knows

1189
01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>every year I get something else, and so I will

1190
01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:10.079
<v Speaker 2>bring those back. Maybe maybe companies will mail them to

1191
01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:12.119
<v Speaker 2>me and they'll say, Michael, you've got a nice listener base.

1192
01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>You've got a lot of followers on your Instagram. Why

1193
01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:16.280
<v Speaker 2>don't you give something away. I'm like, I will, but

1194
01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:18.239
<v Speaker 2>you got to follow me on Instagram. My men, my

1195
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:21.119
<v Speaker 2>men and women, my kids listening right now. High Tech

1196
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Texan spell the whole thing out I expect right now.

1197
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I want people popping on follow, follow, follow Instagram. They're funny.

1198
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd make sure little funny videos I do contesting it

1199
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>is high tech t e X A N SO. I

1200
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:41.760
<v Speaker 2>think home the home technology market is going to be

1201
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>a big thing. I'm going to see in Vegas in

1202
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>about a week and a half for my twenty third

1203
01:05:45.519 --> 01:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Consumer Electronics Show. I will be broadcasting radio show segments,

1204
01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>TV snippets from out there. Another reason to follow me

1205
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:56.239
<v Speaker 2>on x high tech textent on Instagram, High Tech Texan.

1206
01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to see a lot of vehicles the years

1207
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:03.599
<v Speaker 2>ago CES has been I'm a de facto automobile show. Obviously, Yes,

1208
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of electric vehicles, a lot of drones, drone taxis.

1209
01:06:07.800 --> 01:06:09.679
<v Speaker 2>They're going to have all these things that make it

1210
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>look like, oh, this thing is out and about right now.

1211
01:06:13.800 --> 01:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I sat in a taxi with like a quad

1212
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>copter last year. This thing is on it. It's neat.

1213
01:06:19.480 --> 01:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>But this is so work on the design drawing board.

1214
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>My kids are there, My kids' kids may not even

1215
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, have any of these things. And so I'll

1216
01:06:27.079 --> 01:06:29.679
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of stuff in the automobile industry and AI.

1217
01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>I think those are the two letters that are going

1218
01:06:31.400 --> 01:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to be very prevalent out there. And there's other two

1219
01:06:33.920 --> 01:06:36.159
<v Speaker 2>letters too. There's the two letters that have always been

1220
01:06:36.239 --> 01:06:40.599
<v Speaker 2>prevalent with Kidsumer Electronics show, and that is TV, as

1221
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>in televisions now. When I first went out twenty whatever

1222
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:46.159
<v Speaker 2>years ago, that was the advent of digital TV and

1223
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:50.119
<v Speaker 2>high definition TV. This is where the new TVs are

1224
01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:53.920
<v Speaker 2>rolled out. This is where rollable TVs are rolled out.

1225
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:59.639
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Some manufacturers actually make rollable They roll in

1226
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>and scroll up and you don't even see them until

1227
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you need a button and they roll out and they

1228
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:09.679
<v Speaker 2>you've got a TV everything. There's one hundred and twenty

1229
01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>inch TVs, there's projection TVs, there's TVs you don't need.

1230
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>There was a TV the size of a king size

1231
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:17.679
<v Speaker 2>mattress back in the day. It sold for one hundred

1232
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.559
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars of them. Can you not? Well? Last year

1233
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>one of the most sought after TVs was just hitting

1234
01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the market, but we didn't know if it was actually

1235
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>going to come through. Well, it took almost a year.

1236
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>A year, It took a year because they just went

1237
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:36.599
<v Speaker 2>on the market. LG a manufacturer of many things, including TVs.

1238
01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>They just came out with it's called the signature OLED

1239
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.119
<v Speaker 2>T O LED, which is O lead, which is organic

1240
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:49.079
<v Speaker 2>light emitting diode, which no one cares about. This looks

1241
01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:51.519
<v Speaker 2>like it came out of the Minority Report. If you

1242
01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>remember that great Tom Cruise movie where you could you know,

1243
01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you take your finger in the glove and you start

1244
01:07:55.800 --> 01:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>moving things on the screen. Well anyway, but you can

1245
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:02.079
<v Speaker 2>also see through it. It was unveiled. It's a seventy

1246
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:07.599
<v Speaker 2>seven inch display. It's a great TV four K video

1247
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>but with a flick of a button, it could be transparent. YEP,

1248
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:18.159
<v Speaker 2>it's like a see through pane of glass that then

1249
01:08:18.279 --> 01:08:23.199
<v Speaker 2>transforms into a high resolution video display. So now you're

1250
01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:26.199
<v Speaker 2>asking why in the world do I want this? Very

1251
01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:31.079
<v Speaker 2>few scenarios. Generally, if you hang a If your high

1252
01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>definition TV is hanging on the wall right now, it's

1253
01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>hanging above your fireplace, who cares if it's transparent? What

1254
01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:40.359
<v Speaker 2>are you going to see the wall behind it? Well,

1255
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:44.560
<v Speaker 2>pretty much the reason that you want something if you

1256
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>place your TV somewhere in front of a window. Maybe

1257
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you live in a condo, maybe you live in a

1258
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>high rise, and the only place to put it is

1259
01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>in front of a window, but you don't want the

1260
01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:56.920
<v Speaker 2>window to be blocked. You want to see what's going

1261
01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:59.560
<v Speaker 2>on out the window. You could place something like this

1262
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:02.119
<v Speaker 2>in front of the window, and when the TV is off,

1263
01:09:02.960 --> 01:09:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you make it transparent. Now you can see straight through.

1264
01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh good. Part two? Would you spend? You ready for this?

1265
01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Over under? You got ten seconds? How much would you

1266
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:26.359
<v Speaker 2>spend the LG signature LEDT Would you spend sixty thousand

1267
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:30.800
<v Speaker 2>dollars on it? Or would you like to pitch a

1268
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>kid through college or maybe buy a car? Yep, unbelievable.

1269
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:41.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of money. Give it a year, it'll

1270
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:43.239
<v Speaker 2>be six hundred dollars. No, I'm kiding, it's that conna

1271
01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>be that cheap. But this is the stuff that that

1272
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I see a sees man. It's crazy. Who knows what

1273
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna see this year? Maybe a foldable TV that

1274
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>fits in the pall in your hand but it folds

1275
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>out into one hundred and twenty inch TV. We shall see,

1276
01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>you will hear, you will see what if you follow

1277
01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>me on Instagram. One more segment to go this year,

1278
01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.760
<v Speaker 2>as we wind up and pack up the bags for

1279
01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:29.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four, don't go even but that music comes

1280
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the final segment of the final show

1281
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty four marks the twenty third year I've

1282
01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:39.199
<v Speaker 2>been doing this high tech text in program most all

1283
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.119

1284
01:10:42.239 --> 01:10:45.960
<v Speaker 2>PARC nine to fifty am. And really this was it

1285
01:10:46.079 --> 01:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a neat little banner year. Certainly towards

1286
01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the end of the year for me, our program director

1287
01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:54.359
<v Speaker 2>directors here at I Heart they expanded it. They said, Garth,

<v Speaker 2>hear my wonderful voice that is doing this for twenty

1296

<v Speaker 2>years that they grew up with. Still got my hair,

1301
01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>So many friends. It's a banner year or two on

1302
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>other fronts for me personally. Continue to got my health.

1303
01:11:43.319 --> 01:11:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I dropped a good amount of weight, not that I

1304
01:11:45.560 --> 01:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>really needed to, but I picked up I'm a longtime

1305
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>marathon runner. I started getting into stationery biking, which helps

1306
01:11:53.039 --> 01:11:56.319
<v Speaker 2>my knees and it's a whole different heart rate thing.

1307
01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I just even made sure my diet

1308
01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:03.279
<v Speaker 2>was even better. Dropped a good amount of weight, spent

1309
01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>most of my money this year on my tailor in

1310
01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:08.520
<v Speaker 2>buying new clothes, which I was very proud of. Too.

1311
01:12:09.039 --> 01:12:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Into the year comes around, I'm doing much more television

1312
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>here in Houston. We have a radio. We have a

1313
01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>TV show called Great Day Houston on the Technist station,

1314
01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:19.560
<v Speaker 2>and I believe there's a Technist station in Dallas, channel

1315
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:23.159
<v Speaker 2>eight WFAA. I think there's a Technist station in San Antonio?

1316
01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Is that even WAI TV? I can't be sure. It's

1317
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:29.239
<v Speaker 2>the morning show and I have been a correspondent for

1318
01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>a while. I got to sit in and fill in

1319
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>his host not too long ago, and I hope to

1320
01:12:33.720 --> 01:12:36.479
<v Speaker 2>keep that up again. Slap a little bakeup on me,

1321
01:12:36.600 --> 01:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>and I guess maybe I don't know, maybe the TV

1322
01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:43.920
<v Speaker 2>station channel eleven CBS here uses AI to make me

1323
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:46.359
<v Speaker 2>look even younger. Who know, who knows? But it was

1324
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>fun alas I have three wonderful kids still and I'm

1325
01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:54.439
<v Speaker 2>still single, so I got well. Almost everything went right

1326
01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:59.760
<v Speaker 2>this year. Maybe twenty twenty five will be different neither. Nonetheless,

1327
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>whatever situation you are in, wherever you are, however you're living,

1328
01:13:04.600 --> 01:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I hope twenty twenty four was great. I hope it

1329
01:13:06.760 --> 01:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>was prosperous. But let's hope twenty twenty five is going

1330
01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:11.239
<v Speaker 2>to be better. It's going to hope world peace is

1331
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be I hope the economy. Let's hope our

1332
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:18.520
<v Speaker 2>health situation and diseases and everything just go by the wayside.

1333
01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:21.560
<v Speaker 2>We don't know. We are just fighting and we're hanging

1334
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>on to the world as we know it. But hopefully

1335
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:26.399
<v Speaker 2>we're going I'm gonna be here with you for the ride,

1336
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:30.279
<v Speaker 2>and so I do appreciate that. Not gonna get out

1337
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the phone number anymore. I don't think we have any

1338
01:13:32.119 --> 01:13:34.199
<v Speaker 2>more time for calls going through some of the other

1339
01:13:35.680 --> 01:13:38.640
<v Speaker 2>last you know emails over here, Michael. Hey, this is

1340
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:42.159
<v Speaker 2>from Jessica. Jessica is in Dallas, North Dallas. Hey, Michael,

1341
01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:44.319
<v Speaker 2>we just first picked you up two weeks ago. Great

1342
01:13:44.359 --> 01:13:46.239
<v Speaker 2>hereing you in Dallas. Didn't know you were actually from

1343
01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Dallas because I've heard you on iHeart Radio before. Look

1344
01:13:49.479 --> 01:13:51.079
<v Speaker 2>forward to what you're going to see at the Consumer

1345
01:13:51.119 --> 01:13:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Electronics Show. I always laugh at all the crazy most

1346
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:56.119
<v Speaker 2>expensive things that come out and never buy it, but

1347
01:13:56.319 --> 01:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I do trust your opinion and anxious to see what

1348
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you say from Vegas. Thank you so much. I was

1349
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:03.319
<v Speaker 2>very nice of you Jessica about that. Michael, Is this

1350
01:14:03.399 --> 01:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the year you're going to finally get the iPhone and

1351
01:14:06.079 --> 01:14:07.359
<v Speaker 2>suck it up. I know you long have been an

1352
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Android phone. What do you think I am probably gonna mind.

1353
01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make a bold prediction that I am not

1354
01:14:13.920 --> 01:14:17.359
<v Speaker 2>going to switch to the iPhone again. I've had one iPhone.

1355
01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I've had the very first iPhone. I was the first

1356
01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>person to buy Buy I bought it when it was

1357
01:14:22.920 --> 01:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>launched in Houston way back in two thousand. It was

1358
01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:28.520
<v Speaker 2>June twenty seven, teen twenty eight, two thousand and seven.

1359
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I believe I was the first person in line at

1360
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:35.319
<v Speaker 2>the AT and T store in Houston. At because it

1361
01:14:35.399 --> 01:14:38.000
<v Speaker 2>was exclusively for the first five years iPhones were only

1362
01:14:38.039 --> 01:14:40.479
<v Speaker 2>sold on the AT and T network. I paid six

1363
01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:43.319
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars for it. I wanted to try it. It was,

1364
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:48.079
<v Speaker 2>without of doubt, a paradigm shift. It was glass, it

1365
01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:51.319
<v Speaker 2>had no physical buttons. It was wonderful, and from then

1366
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>on I went back to Android. I'm an Android, honk.

1367
01:14:54.239 --> 01:14:56.239
<v Speaker 2>I get to try I have at any given time.

1368
01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I've probably got five, six seven different androids from many

1369
01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:01.439
<v Speaker 2>many difff come buddies. I've got two androids I am

1370
01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:05.199
<v Speaker 2>holding right now that are under embargo. I told you

1371
01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:07.239
<v Speaker 2>what an embargo was. I signed a lot of things

1372
01:15:07.239 --> 01:15:09.239
<v Speaker 2>where I can play with things, but I can't say anything.

1373
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:10.760
<v Speaker 2>And so give me about another week, week and a

1374
01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:13.039
<v Speaker 2>half and I can tell you which new androids I'm

1375
01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>playing with and they're prett day prettday cool. So we

1376
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>can do that. So not really gonna gonna get into

1377
01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the iPhones. Michael, I heard you ragging on EV. Oh,

1378
01:15:22.760 --> 01:15:25.199
<v Speaker 2>come on, I wasn't. I guess what I was ragging

1379
01:15:25.239 --> 01:15:28.279
<v Speaker 2>on EV's I heard you talking about electric vehicle cars

1380
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:32.239
<v Speaker 2>now were number one. If somebody gave you an electric vehicle,

1381
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:40.680
<v Speaker 2>would you drive it? Oh it's a good question. If

1382
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>someone gave me an EV, I would drive it. But

1383
01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I would absolutely make it my second car. If you've listened,

1384
01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:52.479
<v Speaker 2>If if you're just douning in, let me kind of

1385
01:15:52.520 --> 01:15:54.119
<v Speaker 2>give you a little something to kill some more time.

1386
01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Go back and listen to our number one of my show.

1387
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:01.479
<v Speaker 2>When we're done, Callum who make sure that the show

1388
01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:03.359
<v Speaker 2>goes on all the stations, and he puts it on

1389
01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the bird and puts it on the podcast. Go to

1390
01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:07.199
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio dot com look for high Tech text and the

1391
01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:11.159
<v Speaker 2>spell or Michael Garfield. Listen to our number one because

1392
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:13.800
<v Speaker 2>I went not one, but two segments with a story.

1393
01:16:14.840 --> 01:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I did a two segment month. This is about It's

1394
01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:19.640
<v Speaker 2>about a fifteen minute story of this past week of

1395
01:16:19.720 --> 01:16:22.560
<v Speaker 2>me driving an electric vehicle from Houston to Lake Charles,

1396
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Louisiana and almost in pretty much freaking out because I

1397
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:29.439
<v Speaker 2>couldn't find an electric charger. I finally found one. That

1398
01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:33.520
<v Speaker 2>is one top reason of why I personally personally will

1399
01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:37.079
<v Speaker 2>not buy an EV. Again, there's no other adult in

1400
01:16:37.159 --> 01:16:41.079
<v Speaker 2>my house, not married. I only have one car I

1401
01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:43.319
<v Speaker 2>test to. I have a ton of other cars. Answer

1402
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the question if somebody gave me an EV, yeah, I

1403
01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>would drive it. I would make sure that it is

1404
01:16:48.359 --> 01:16:51.239
<v Speaker 2>my huts, it around town. I'd go from my house

1405
01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:53.399
<v Speaker 2>to h g B. I would just maybe go to

1406
01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the office, maybe go to the gym. That's it. But

1407
01:16:56.720 --> 01:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>if I'm going I'm going up to Big D. I'm

1408
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:02.359
<v Speaker 2>going to San Antonio to meet and greet and talk

1409
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to all your listeners out there. Ain no way I'm

1410
01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:06.560
<v Speaker 2>even getting behind in EV. Just it's not for me.

1411
01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm too ADHD, I have arrange anxiety. It's just absolutely

1412
01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:11.439
<v Speaker 2>not going to work. So there's really nothing else I

1413
01:17:11.479 --> 01:17:16.039
<v Speaker 2>can say about that. So it's when I talk to

1414
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>wrap everything up. Either you're new to the show, these

1415
01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:22.199
<v Speaker 2>are my opinions, and these opinions are expressed on what

1416
01:17:22.359 --> 01:17:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I like. I have lived almost six decades. I actually

1417
01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:29.199
<v Speaker 2>have I loved six decades. I came close to I've

1418
01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:32.000
<v Speaker 2>always been a consumer. I love going to the grocery store.

1419
01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I love looking at the shopping aisles. I love looking

1420
01:17:34.439 --> 01:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>at colors. I know you know how these companies market

1421
01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to people, those serial companies, to car companies, to the

1422
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:43.439
<v Speaker 2>soda companies, to the clothing companies. I know what's good.

1423
01:17:43.479 --> 01:17:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I know it's bad. I like to think I know

1424
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:47.199
<v Speaker 2>some false advertising of what things. Is this really going

1425
01:17:47.279 --> 01:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to change your life or not. I used to work

1426
01:17:49.079 --> 01:17:52.760
<v Speaker 2>on used to be on QVC. My job was to

1427
01:17:52.800 --> 01:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>see the good things in life, why this product can

1428
01:17:55.800 --> 01:17:57.880
<v Speaker 2>potentially change your life and make it better for you.

1429
01:17:58.479 --> 01:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I look at products a little differ than you do,

1430
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>and I will give you my opinion. I will give

1431
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:05.880
<v Speaker 2>you my opinion of a great product, and if I

1432
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>find one just as good in the same category but

1433
01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:10.880
<v Speaker 2>save you money, I'm leading with that one. That's the

1434
01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:13.399
<v Speaker 2>way Michael Garfield rolls. And if you're new to this

1435
01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna have some fun. So with that, I do

1436
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.520
<v Speaker 2>want to thank my big boss is Eddie Martini, who's

1437

<v Speaker 2>carpeted office, pushes some buttons and tells people what's going on.

1441
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:34.079

<v Speaker 2>larger audience in Texas this year. Thank you also to
