Speaker 2: it's air condition.
Speaker 4: You can go in there and check out what's you
Speaker 4: might find some really cool thing. Probably will I'm telling you.
Speaker 4: They've got some neat stuff up there.
Speaker 2: They got a recliner, and I volunteer to be a
Speaker 2: test pilot for the recliner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be kind of nice. Just go there
Speaker 4: and just lounge around watch everybody.
Speaker 3: Right, I can do that today.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that much trouble.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't think Kevin would kick you out of.

Speaker 4: So if you've got time today, run up there and
Speaker 4: check it out, you know, put your and you might
Speaker 4: get something really good. Yeah. I remember going up there
Speaker 4: one time and they had a camper one of those
Speaker 4: electric camper lifts, you know for the front jack of
Speaker 4: a camper. And my son has a big RV and
Speaker 4: his he had to hand crank his, And I said,
Speaker 4: you know, that'd be kind of a neat thing to
Speaker 4: put my money in there. So I put a bit
Speaker 4: on it and I got it. And so my son
Speaker 4: has a gave it to him on his birthday and
Speaker 4: now he's got his front of his tongue of his
Speaker 4: RV goes up and down. He didn't have to go
Speaker 4: out there and crank it. By hand and he really
Speaker 4: likes it. Yeah, so that was it was.
Speaker 3: Anytime technology, can you know, save your back? Yeah, favor
Speaker 3: hand or you know sometimes with that jack is put
Speaker 3: you right there in the jaw.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean sometimes you could look at technology as
Speaker 4: being a negative thing because you know, look at all
Speaker 4: the exercise we miss out by having to drive around
Speaker 4: in cars and things. Now electric bikes. Nobody's pedaling anymore.
Speaker 4: I mean it's kind of sad.
Speaker 5: Well, you have to see both sides. You know, there's
Speaker 5: the good side and then there's the dark side. So
Speaker 5: you know, what do you do? Well, you turn on
Speaker 5: the light when you can.
Speaker 4: H Yeah, that's right, and you go exercise when you can.
Speaker 4: That's what we need to do.
Speaker 5: It's an important part of the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was looking for you on the trail this last weekend.
Speaker 5: Didn't see up there poison ivy?
Speaker 4: Oh did you get poison?
Speaker 5: Iy?
Speaker 3: Good? Oh man, I'll tear your day, that's what you know.
Speaker 5: I use this compression sleeve which I got yesterday, which
Speaker 5: it helped because you know, I mean you blow across
Speaker 5: just that area.
Speaker 4: It's just where did you pick that up at.
Speaker 5: Elk that Elk City? Uh trail? There, you know, around
Speaker 5: that lake. Lake it's a nice trail and it's all underwoods.
Speaker 5: It was like walking in the woods. I just need
Speaker 5: to recognize the signs of poison IVY because I didn't
Speaker 5: think about it until we were swimming. You know, they
Speaker 5: got those pool rentals now, you know, so we had
Speaker 5: a family gathering, get one of those, because it's like
Speaker 5: an airbnb, you just rent the pools. So that was nice.
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, I started saying, it's all
Speaker 5: these red spots, you know. And because I saw something
Speaker 5: the other day and I didn't think much about it,
Speaker 5: well it showed up the last couple of days and
Speaker 5: kind of more of a vengeance. Yeah, I had to.
Speaker 5: I started doctoring up on myself because if you can
Speaker 5: catch that early enough, you can you know, clean it off.
Speaker 5: You know, get some limes so far, you know, something
Speaker 5: that will really clean it out of your skin. But
Speaker 5: it took over. See this is done. This is not
Speaker 5: the bad part.
Speaker 3: This is yeah. Now my white camera's not on here today.
Speaker 4: My WiFi went out in the backyard. When we used
Speaker 4: to have a half of our yard was divided by
Speaker 4: weeds in this one fence. So I went and just
Speaker 4: ripped it all out of there, and I was hand
Speaker 4: grabbing a whole bunch of poison ivy and throwing it bags.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know what it was. Well, once you
Speaker 4: get on a roll, yeah, I mean I shore into
Speaker 4: a lot of it. And she just kept saying, oh man,
Speaker 4: you're gonna be a bad shape. You know what all
Speaker 4: that is? Well, anyways, never affected me, really yeah. And
Speaker 4: I was in bare hands, just grabbing it stuff out
Speaker 4: and never it never ever even gave me an itch.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. But every time I if I
Speaker 4: grabbed her arm or something to talk to her for something,
Speaker 4: it gave her poison ivy. So I just yeah, three,
Speaker 4: let it be. It didn't affect me. But I do
Speaker 4: know that each one of us have our things because
Speaker 4: if I get stun with a wasp, oh I swell it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like allergies, everybody's different, Yeah they are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think everyone reacts differently.
Speaker 5: I first thought, well, it must be something I ate,
Speaker 5: you know, but no, it was.
Speaker 4: You were tracing around in the woods. I know it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, out it was a perfect day. You know, when
Speaker 5: you get up early in the morning, it's great being
Speaker 5: in the woods, you know, it's all shaded and it's
Speaker 5: really pleasant. But now I just need to be more
Speaker 5: aware of the signs of things like poison ivy and
Speaker 5: poison out. But you know, that's that's what you got
Speaker 5: to do to you just have to be aware of things.
Speaker 5: You know, technology the same way. Look at look at
Speaker 5: the you know, the ugly side. You know that crowd strike,
Speaker 5: the fact you know, it's just it's just like a
Speaker 5: wave that went around the world. You know, when you
Speaker 5: when you canceled hundreds of flights per day. You know,
Speaker 5: it really messes with people and it's just out of control.
Speaker 5: So yeah, how do you how do you actually prevent
Speaker 5: stuff like that from happening. Well, in this case, it
Speaker 5: was really a tough scenario because of the the nature
Speaker 5: of the beast. You know, when they updated their update,
Speaker 5: apparently they did not test it like they should have, right,
Speaker 5: they were too big of a hurry to get the
Speaker 5: update out there. You know, we always talk about, well
Speaker 5: you got to do your updates. Well, they did their updates,
Speaker 5: but it wasn't good. It wasn't you got ye, Well,
Speaker 5: what happened he got down into the kernel of the
Speaker 5: operating system, you know, when it's way down there it's
Speaker 5: it's starting up at boot up when all of a
Speaker 5: sudden it tries to boot up. No, no can yeah
Speaker 5: blue screen you know. So. Yeah, But anyway, I'm sure
Speaker 5: they'll change some practices. And that company, I mean, it's
Speaker 5: a pretty big outfit, but it's all these enterprise you know,
Speaker 5: these big corporations.
Speaker 6: Right, airlines and supply chain and people were stuck in
Speaker 6: the in the airports for days, having to sleep on
Speaker 6: floors and whenever they can get places.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not fun. I've had to do that. It's
Speaker 3: not fun.
Speaker 5: No, I've done that too. Like a year ago Christmas time,
Speaker 5: I was stuck in Denver, remember that Southwest debacle. That's
Speaker 5: the worst, And they blamed the systems. Well, it's not
Speaker 5: the systems. You just didn't prepare for anything like that, right,
Speaker 5: you basically let this go a little too long.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's the worst airport to have to
Speaker 4: be stuck in.
Speaker 5: I don't know, you know, I thought Challenge I was
Speaker 5: in Detroit, Yeah, I guess. Yeah, some of them are here. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but on the Southwest wing they're in uh in Denver,
Speaker 5: you know, the very end of where the Southwest was.
Speaker 5: It's all this yellow stuff and they have these couches
Speaker 5: and lounges, you know, So, I mean it probably was
Speaker 5: the best place you could have if you if you
Speaker 5: found a place where you could actually kind of lounge,
Speaker 5: you know, because most of those seats you're straight up.
Speaker 2: You know, when when you were taking off from the airport,
Speaker 2: you kind of look back and you know, it looks
Speaker 2: like you're leaving the circus, right. Yeah, they got these
Speaker 2: It looks like the circumstance there where they're they're building
Speaker 2: there in Denver.
Speaker 4: Now, that roof is really strange.
Speaker 3: It's but it's the only one they could take. The
Speaker 3: wind up there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it, because that's the challenge going in and
Speaker 5: out of that airport. Boy, you feel it, you're going
Speaker 5: up and down. And I've noticed that it's it's more
Speaker 5: common now just to all of a sudden be flying along.
Speaker 5: All of a sudden it just drops.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can that Windshire you can drop really quickly
Speaker 4: and really quickly.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: They have thermals, really big thermals up in Colorado because
Speaker 4: they come off those mountains and it creates like a
Speaker 4: little vortex and uh yeah, those planes go up and
Speaker 4: down pretty I used to fly pairplanes and ultra lights
Speaker 4: up there, and man, it was well a goodness. I
Speaker 4: remember one time being in a pair of plane and
Speaker 4: it's a and I had a little you know GPS
Speaker 4: system back in the day when mcgellan had a old
Speaker 4: black and white screen and it would point you in
Speaker 4: an arrow, and I had the airport marked and I
Speaker 4: was trying to fly around in this farm fields and
Speaker 4: all of a sudden I hit a wind wind pocket
Speaker 4: that just I mean, that air just like it dropped
Speaker 4: and that plane came down almost one hundred feet in
Speaker 4: just seconds. And you talk about scary, I mean, you
Speaker 4: know that when you hit that pocket, it's just scary.
Speaker 4: Then you think about an airfoil pair paraplane has the
Speaker 4: airfoil like a parachute, and if that collapses, you know
Speaker 4: you're in bad shape. So when it dropped, it was
Speaker 4: pretty scary. It felt like that whole shoot just folded
Speaker 4: up on you. But it didn't. Of course, we made
Speaker 4: it through it. So scary.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after this one minute time out.
Speaker 7: Save some brand new merchandise and certificates. Today's the annual

Speaker 7: Don't miss it. Bartostow Radios and your auction this morning
Speaker 7: at nine at Washington County Fairgrounds in Dewey.
Speaker 1: Ooh heyn this time and welcome back.
Speaker 2: It is tech Talk and our phone line is open
Speaker 2: at one eight hundred seven three six. We're also taking
Speaker 2: plenties and ivy remedies, CHARLESO.
Speaker 5: We got here, Yeah, I got several of them kinds
Speaker 5: of stuff. So I'm still working on just getting rid
Speaker 5: of this stuff because you know, if you catch it
Speaker 5: early enough, you can deal with it a lot better.
Speaker 5: But if you let it kind of go.
Speaker 4: As faster as it gets, it's worse.
Speaker 5: It gets worse. But you know, we were talking about
Speaker 5: the relating to patching. You know, patching, we always emphasize, well,
Speaker 5: you got to keep your stuff up to date. Now
Speaker 5: you know people are kind of backing office as well.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to jump on that just yet. You know, wait,
Speaker 5: like for example, Microsoft has its update Tuesday, you know
Speaker 5: patch Tuesday, So it's like the first week of I
Speaker 5: think it's the first Tuesday of the month something like that. Well,
Speaker 5: now like.
Speaker 3: When they check the sirens.
Speaker 5: So now wait a week or you know or so,
Speaker 5: and let it kind of simmer in and see if
Speaker 5: what the effects are before you jump on that bandwagon,
Speaker 5: or they may not be a good place where it's
Speaker 5: going to take you.
Speaker 4: And how far people get behind in updates though when
Speaker 4: you allow that to happen, you know, you've got to
Speaker 4: just you got to ride that wave. Just get in
Speaker 4: there and go and see what what comes, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you really have to be aware. You know,
Speaker 5: I get a lot of calls from a lot of
Speaker 5: my friends and customers about Okay, it's doing this, you know,
Speaker 5: it's recognizing behavior. So this being awareness is really becoming
Speaker 5: more and more important. You know, when it starts talking
Speaker 5: to you, well, you've been invaded. You know, you've got
Speaker 5: to call Microsoft. Here's the number. You know, those are
Speaker 5: all bogus, but they're getting to be more common. I mean,
Speaker 5: how they're getting in there. They're always finding another way,
Speaker 5: you know, because first of all, when these patches get reported,
Speaker 5: you know where they need address some usually it's some
Speaker 5: security issue or or some you know problem that they
Speaker 5: found after people start using it, because they get the
Speaker 5: feedback from from the machines themselves most of the time,
Speaker 5: but not always. So that's why you have to kind
Speaker 5: of learn to say, okay, well let's do this, Like
Speaker 5: if somebody else is controlling your mouse, for example, you
Speaker 5: know somebody's in there that you're not it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: one time I had a freak deal where there was
Speaker 5: actually two people working on one side of the wall
Speaker 5: and the other and they both had the same kind
Speaker 5: of mouse that had the same frequency. So the other
Speaker 5: guy who was moving his mouth it would work.
Speaker 4: That'd be terrible because how would you determine that.
Speaker 3: You start yelling across the room now, cut that out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, down on the wall and say, okay.
Speaker 4: Well, you don't know if it's not somebody on the
Speaker 4: other side of the exactly exactly they could get in
Speaker 4: France or something.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the other thing, like Delta, for example. You
Speaker 5: know that all the other airlines that came back online,
Speaker 5: you know within a day or two, well, you know
Speaker 5: it's been like it's several days now, like a week,
Speaker 5: and Delta is still like what was yesterday day before
Speaker 5: there were canceling hundreds of.
Speaker 2: Well some of it has to do with their work
Speaker 2: scheduling software.
Speaker 3: You don't know where.
Speaker 5: Their works are. Yeah, that's what Southwest has exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So yeah, people are starting to realize, hey, yeah, I
Speaker 5: need to pay attention to this stuff because I see
Speaker 5: so many people. You know, most corporations, especially the big corporation,
Speaker 5: they're finding out, well this it stuff just costs too much.
Speaker 5: We're just going to pare it down and simplify it
Speaker 5: and farm it to India, you know, somebody else. Let
Speaker 5: that be somebody else's problem, because we don't want to
Speaker 5: dedicate all these resources. Well that's both good and bad.
Speaker 5: It's good if you don't have any problems, but if
Speaker 5: you do have problems. Now, the whole communication chain seems
Speaker 5: to be the challenge. You know, when you talk to
Speaker 5: somebody from India, it's not like you're talking to your neighbor.
Speaker 3: It's not like Indiana.
Speaker 5: No, No, it's a few states away.
Speaker 3: You have to play in it away, it is.
Speaker 5: So communication gets to be the big issue. But that's
Speaker 5: a lot of the problems with it. I think is
Speaker 5: just the simple communication thing, you know, breaking it down
Speaker 5: so that people understand what's happening. Because if you if
Speaker 5: you're blind to your blindness, you know, what do you do? Right?
Speaker 5: First of all, you got to get unblind. Hence the
Speaker 5: word is exercise, which that's the kind of stuff I
Speaker 5: try to do. Like you know, I'm preparing these lessons
Speaker 5: now for these groups, you know, like these nonprofits and
Speaker 5: kind of things, so I can basically just start making
Speaker 5: people more aware because you know, I think in the
Speaker 5: forties or fifties. There's a time when everybody goes through
Speaker 5: this cycle of well, I've learned everything I need to learn,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm just gonna play it go out. Well,
Speaker 5: only twenty percent really take off and they start looking
Speaker 5: at the world. Well, you know, it's it's you have
Speaker 5: to continually learn, and that's kind of the world we're
Speaker 5: moving into. And some people are not adjusting well to that.
Speaker 5: You know, like the baby boomer says, well, I'm retired
Speaker 5: now I don't need to use computers, and they find out, oh,
Speaker 5: oh I have to do my medical records.
Speaker 4: Were now, yeah, everything's online.
Speaker 2: I have two brothers who are like that. My youngest
Speaker 2: sibling is my sister. She and I. We can get
Speaker 2: on the computer. We can do it what we need
Speaker 2: to do, and maybe a little extra. These two guys
Speaker 2: just look at it and say and they turn it
Speaker 2: over to their kids and they said, can you do that? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's pretty easy, dad. I don't want to know how
Speaker 2: you do it. Can you do it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And they don't want to be bothered with it.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not just not being able to learn, it's
Speaker 5: not willing to learn.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I think stubborn is those two guys' middle name.
Speaker 5: Hey, they're not alone. You know, most people they don't
Speaker 5: want to know. I have customers like that. We'll just
Speaker 5: fix it. Well, okay, well this is what's going to happen,
Speaker 5: you know, now you break it down so I don't
Speaker 5: even want to hear that. You know, what are you
Speaker 5: doing that?
Speaker 3: You're talking stuff that's going to scare me now, And.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of that conversation going on. I mean,
Speaker 5: the fear of factor is, you know, going bonkers right now.
Speaker 5: Everybody's so you needn't turn the TV off. So I've
Speaker 5: minimized my digital time because the other thing that's really
Speaker 5: irked me recently is all these subscriptions like you get, like,
Speaker 5: for example, I got Apple TV for free for a year,
Speaker 5: and but you know, everything starts going up, you know,
Speaker 5: it starts like Hulu. I think I got it for
Speaker 5: free for a year, and then then it was two
Speaker 5: bucks a month, and then it was six bucks a month,
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, it's thirteen bucks a month.
Speaker 5: And like YouTube for example, you know that, like the
Speaker 5: YouTube TV. I mean it's like ninety bucks a months now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're thinking to yourself, well, I cut the
Speaker 2: satellite dish. I should be saving money. I should be
Speaker 2: saving money. What are you clowns doing? No, we're feeling.
Speaker 5: Avoid Yeah, yeah, that's a tough in your pocket. As
Speaker 5: a matter of fact, I started getting some some weird
Speaker 5: subscription stuff on my credit card. I said, who is this?
Speaker 5: You know, because if you don't watch your credit card,
Speaker 5: you probably should. Well. I went, you know, to my bank.
Speaker 5: I said, okay, these are fraud charges. I said, okay,
Speaker 5: well we'll cancel your card and we'll get you a
Speaker 5: new one. Oh yeah, well I look on my statement
Speaker 5: and they're still coming on on the new card that
Speaker 5: I don't even have yet. I said, okay, how can
Speaker 5: people charge stuff on my new card when it has
Speaker 5: even been activated? And they went through this long giration
Speaker 5: give me all kinds of reasons. Well, it's this process
Speaker 5: we're going through. We're we're converting all the stuff. I'm
Speaker 5: moving all your existing stuff to the new card. Okay,
Speaker 5: well that would be nice to know, because me, while
Speaker 5: I'm getting robbed blind, you I'm getting well, it's all
Speaker 5: these twenty dollars or thirty dollars kind of what's yeah. So, anyway,
Speaker 5: that that kind of bugged me so I said, I
Speaker 5: don't know if I'm going to use this card again
Speaker 5: or this bank that I was doing this, because you know,
Speaker 5: they farm it out. They don't do that locally. So
Speaker 5: it's these these processes that have kind of evolved, you know,
Speaker 5: kind of concerning to me. I don't like some of
Speaker 5: these The way this stuff is going. You just don't
Speaker 5: have any control over that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, when I was living in Florida, I was
Speaker 2: tooling around in Orlando. I didn't get a call from
Speaker 2: my bank. Did you just buy some furniture in uh
Speaker 2: in New Mexico. U. No, I'm just uh, just outside
Speaker 2: of Disney here, And yeah, I said, okay, we'll cancel
Speaker 2: that because you can't be in two places at once.
Speaker 3: I said, no, I've never been to out there.
Speaker 5: I've got something like that from Hong Kong.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like I'd go to lunch. I'd go out to
Speaker 5: lunch and use my credit card. By the time I
Speaker 5: got back to the office, you know, I get a call,
Speaker 5: did did you buy something in Hong Kong? I said, no,
Speaker 5: I just went out to lunch. So you know, they
Speaker 5: actually scammed the skimmer and then they they basically selling
Speaker 5: all that stuff.
Speaker 4: I mean, they gotta be careful where you eat because
Speaker 4: you know that's happening one time. Yeah, it happened to
Speaker 4: me when I first started my business, and it was
Speaker 4: the only time I ever handed anybody in my card
Speaker 4: to pay for anything. And immediately I was scammed Canada
Speaker 4: of all places. So they canceled every day there and
Speaker 4: then I traced it back in the bank, said did
Speaker 4: you go eat at this place? Yes? I did, that's
Speaker 4: where it's happened, and they told me what had happened.
Speaker 4: So of course I've never been back there to eat
Speaker 4: ever again. They lost me as a customer. I'll never
Speaker 4: go back, ye, you know, but now I have a rule.
Speaker 4: I don't when I go to eat. I never had
Speaker 4: the server in my card. I always tell them I'll
Speaker 4: meet you at the register, and I go up there
Speaker 4: and do it with them. I don't ever give my
Speaker 4: server my card anymore so that I'll pay with cash.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to be aware.
Speaker 4: You got to be aware that can't trust anyone with
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: Anyway, That's that's one of my happenings this week.
Speaker 3: Well right now, I.
Speaker 2: Hope that you trust me with this one minute time out.
Speaker 2: I will let's take this profit center breaker.

Speaker 5: tell you is the you know the fact that you know,
Speaker 5: they make it really hard to cancel subscriptions. I mean,
Speaker 5: like you go to the screens and it's just like
Speaker 5: they're not only discouraging, and they're making it extra difficult.
Speaker 5: Like I was like, for example, I've got this YouTube
Speaker 5: TV premium, you know, which is a family thing, and
Speaker 5: I was trying to figure it, well, you know, we
Speaker 5: don't need to need the family all I need to
Speaker 5: do we can share one account. Well I was trying
Speaker 5: to make that change, and boy, they did not make that.
Speaker 5: The only way I could figure out how to do
Speaker 5: it is just just let it let expire, you know,
Speaker 5: because it's one of those month to month charges and
Speaker 5: then I have to reapply again and start with a
Speaker 5: single member.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I mean, you know, there shouldn't be that difficult,
Speaker 5: and that's when your service should be easy. It should
Speaker 5: be easy. But you know, they make it really difficult
Speaker 5: because they're you know, they're pulling money out of your
Speaker 5: wall and every they liked that automated you know money
Speaker 5: sucks machine. Yeah, so yeah, subscriptions. Yeah, they're just kind
Speaker 5: of out of control.
Speaker 4: And we've we've found in our family we try to monitor,
Speaker 4: you know, where everything's going. And recently we did that too.
Speaker 4: You know, we've got you got who, you got Netflix,
Speaker 4: You've got Amazon Prime Video and all that different stuff.
Speaker 4: You know, you only need one because one of them
Speaker 4: carry just about the same thing. So we had to
Speaker 4: start doing some cutbacks too, because I'm when you know,
Speaker 4: you're paying almost twenty dollars a month.
Speaker 5: They're making that so COMPLICENTDT Like, for example, I remember
Speaker 5: when I first went to work at a hospital. I
Speaker 5: had a buddy mine coming and says, well, look at
Speaker 5: this phone system set up, and uh, because we were
Speaker 5: looking updated. You know, we basically did the whole infrastructure
Speaker 5: for the hospital when when we went to work there,
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, all new cables, phones, computer servers,
Speaker 5: everything was changed out. So I got to build a
Speaker 5: lot of a lot of machines. But anyway, he was
Speaker 5: going through the bills and looking at the charges of
Speaker 5: services they did not even use, and it ended up
Speaker 5: being like over forty thousand dollars a month. Forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: I said, well, what is the deal with this. You know,
Speaker 5: how can this be? And it's because you can't. They
Speaker 5: can't read the bill. I think with a lot of
Speaker 5: big corporations, you almost need a specialist at something that
Speaker 5: basically has some kind of functionality and you know, get
Speaker 5: a handle on that stuff. So being aware, it's time
Speaker 5: to get re educated right now, Yes, because with the
Speaker 5: technology stuff, Okay, if you blinked, yeah, something has changed.
Speaker 5: It's that fast. Everything is happening so fast, and that's
Speaker 5: what's really driving a lot of the mental health issue.
Speaker 5: It's this anxiety that's created by these these massive changes,
Speaker 5: all of a sudden changes the way that you have
Speaker 5: to operate, and most people just don't don't deal well
Speaker 5: with that because you don't have too many forward leading people.
Speaker 5: It's mostly people leading backwards. Take me back to the
Speaker 5: fifties and sixties and all of a sudden you find
Speaker 5: out way back.
Speaker 3: And tell you to stick on your headphones and you
Speaker 3: put on some vinyl.
Speaker 5: By Vinyl's coming back, But it is, but for very
Speaker 5: few people.
Speaker 4: It's all I have to tell you, though. I've found
Speaker 4: some cool vinyl recently, and I'm one of the albums
Speaker 4: that just came across my hands. And I hadn't heard
Speaker 4: it in a long time. Was Michael McDonald and the
Speaker 4: Doobie Brothers, and it just hit me and I said, man,
Speaker 4: I forgot how good these guys really were. And I
Speaker 4: pulled up I pulled up Michael McDonald by himself on
Speaker 4: YouTube and he was playing keep Forgetting, And when he
Speaker 4: was playing it, he's seventy two years old, and I went, goodness,
Speaker 4: this guys can still do it. And he's better on
Speaker 4: the piano than he was back then. He's just progressed
Speaker 4: so much better. And so anyways, I sat down and
Speaker 4: had to jam that song in my shop, customers coming
Speaker 4: and going, wow, what is that. That's the old Doobie Brothers,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 3: So yeah.
Speaker 2: Fun. My daughter got a phonograph and she says, wow,
Speaker 2: this is cool. I can play my Big Red Queen
Speaker 2: album on there. She goes, but Dad, how do I
Speaker 2: do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't have a turnt.
Speaker 3: She had the turn, she had everything there.
Speaker 2: She didn't know how to put the needle on the record,
Speaker 2: and it done on me. Man, this thing was a
Speaker 2: museum piece when she was born.
Speaker 4: She probably set the record out and watched it spin.
Speaker 4: Now what is it doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I gotta put the tone on them.
Speaker 5: It's like the stick shift. Okay, manual transmission there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, back to I gotta say somethingny since
Speaker 4: we're on this subject. Back in when I was a kid,
Speaker 4: they actually had the first dictaphone that my dad had
Speaker 4: bought one, and it had these little plastic sheets, the
Speaker 4: little plastic used to get them on cereal boxes. But
Speaker 4: they were a little plastic records and if you cut
Speaker 4: it out on your cereal box, you could play, you know,
Speaker 4: Monster Mash or something like that. Anyways, he had a
Speaker 4: stacks and stacks like you have a CD tray that
Speaker 4: you go buy. It was stacks of these plastic things
Speaker 4: and there were blanks and you'd put them in there
Speaker 4: and you'd set the needle on it and then you
Speaker 4: would talk into the dictaphone microphone and it would burn
Speaker 4: in on that record your you know, your message to
Speaker 4: the secretary that you wanted to earn to type or whatever.
Speaker 4: And it was the first dictaphone and my dad had it,
Speaker 4: so we found it. He never used it. He just
Speaker 4: bought at a garage sale and we sang man. We
Speaker 4: made little albums and stuff, and we had our own
Speaker 4: little record maker, you know, and it was. It was fun,
Speaker 4: and I look back on it now and thinking, you know,
Speaker 4: that was how far back was that technology? And then
Speaker 4: you come up with an the ones who can record it?
Speaker 4: It was old. I'm not sure really how I was
Speaker 4: at the time, probably sixteen fifteen, sixteen years old, but
Speaker 4: we were cutting our own little albums. We had some
Speaker 4: cool little jams we would do on there, and I
Speaker 4: still probably have those in my mom's probably story a
Speaker 4: bunch of those away in boxes. But we had these
Speaker 4: little records and it made records, songs, and I don't
Speaker 4: know what we ever did with that equipment, to be
Speaker 4: honest with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you date yourself when you go back to
Speaker 5: eight track tapes and yeah, cassettes.
Speaker 3: And well were we thinking with eight track tapes? All
Speaker 3: these things did was hiss.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And we thought the CDs and these are
Speaker 5: so great, this this will be it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not for long?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you can't get them anymore hardly.
Speaker 4: Then they went to then they went to those little
Speaker 4: micro tape machines for doing dictaphone dictations, and that lasted.
Speaker 4: I think they still have them, but they're digital now.
Speaker 5: Many Yeah, yeah, pretty cool stuff. We thought it was
Speaker 5: just so amazing. It said, this is it, this is
Speaker 5: going to be We're done with this.
Speaker 4: Yeh good, this is the news stuff.
Speaker 3: And then what's that? Then three recorder with three?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it keeps rolling. So either to roll with it
Speaker 5: or you get rolled over.
Speaker 3: That can hurt too, That get hurt. You know, you're
Speaker 3: absolutely right with that, Charles about.
Speaker 2: Either getting in the game or getting the game right,
Speaker 2: because it's not gonna wait for you.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to jump.
Speaker 3: In the stream.
Speaker 5: You gotta go with the with the stream, you know.
Speaker 5: And it doesn't matter where you jump in. Wherever you jump,
Speaker 5: it's gonna take you downstream.
Speaker 3: You'll can't You'll catch up before you know it. But
Speaker 3: the first part is that dag come in. I gotta
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Once you get over the daggumu, I gotta do it,
Speaker 2: you'll you'll be fine. And you'll wonder why you even,
