<v Speaker 2>And also I send a little condolences. I send a

63
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>little condolences this week because I too, am sitting shiva

64
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>for the city of Dallas. What happened a week ago

65
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 2>with our great basketball player Luka Doncik. I know Dallas,

66
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and I hear it. My best friends are in Big

67
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>d I talk to my parents. It's just this way.

68
00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 2>You talk about the NBA stealing thunder from the NFL, Well,

69
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>that's what the NFL gets. The NFL stole Christmas Day

70
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>with their football games this past December from the NBA

71
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 2>because the NBA used to own Christmas Day five games.

72
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>The ratings were horrible for the NBA games because everybody

73
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>watched the two football games on the football David Silver,

74
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the commissioner of the NBA, he said, you know what

75
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>screw up. We're gonna take all the headlines from Super

76
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Bowl Week, starting with Luca and the trade, and then

77
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, this past week just it was almost all

78
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 2>NBA stuff. My son right now, all this past week

79
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>he has been in New Orleans because he covers the

80
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>the sports, you know scene, specifically the NFL and college football.

81
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But there's just hasn't been a lot of buzz about

82
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>the game that's happening this week in New Orleans. It's

83
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>been about the NBA. Dallas, I feel you. I'm not

84
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>happy about it. Luca generational player, a lifetime MAVs fan.

85
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what I'm gonna do, even though I

86
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 2>in Houston. Now, hey, Michael. I mean, listen, I like

87
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the Rockets. I mean, the Rockets are a very I'm

88
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of a fan of the Rockets. I'm not a

89
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Texans football fan. I'm a Cowboys guy. They're dead. The

90
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Rockets good. You know. I was here. I moved here

91
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the first when they won their two back to back

92
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>NBA titles, which Michael Jordan wasn't playing those two years.

93
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I happened to be here and the city went crazy

94
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>and it was kind of fun. I became semi a fan,

95
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:26.959
<v Speaker 2>and I go to two games a year or something,

96
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>but my heart's in Dallas. I went to the very

97
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 2>first Dallas Mavericks game in nineteen eighty. My kids get

98
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>me a my kids, listen. I told you it was

99
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>my birthday. My kids. God loved my three boys. My

100
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>gift this year was a Luca don Chik number seventy

101
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.079
<v Speaker 2>seven MAVs jersey, and my birthday was this past weekend.

102
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 2>They bought probably the last Luca Dallas Maverick shirt ever.

103
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I should auction this off somewhere on eBay because they're

104
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>not going to make it anymore because the dude is now

105
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a Los Angeles Lakers. I digress, but I just don't

106
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>show you. This is what we talk about on the show.

107
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna get solid technology. I'm gonna answer your questions.

108
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh I've got some stuff. People don't worry when it

109
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>comes to new phones, cars and then other news. But

110
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm all over the place. It's just like it's an

111
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 2>all for one. It's an entertainment show. Because if you

112
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>don't do a little entertainment, if you don't talk about,

113
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, a plethora of things, which I've been doing

114
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.639
<v Speaker 2>for two plus decades, You're not going anywhere. And that's

115
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>why I've been hanging around three four six twenty nine

116
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Texan Callum read good to see in my man. He

117
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>is here potentially picking up your phone calls, telling me

118
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>in my ear, hey, Michael, you should check out your

119
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 2>ex or some of the fun comments that you're getting.

120
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe do some giveaways. And I will start with this.

121
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>I got about a minute and a half for two minutes.

122
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>There's a big game this weekend. And I got the

123
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>annual email for my bosses at iHeart. Everybody did also,

124
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>and I want to kind of read it to you.

125
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know whether to break the rules. If

126
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 2>I really do like my job right now. But I

127
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 2>got this email from iHeart Radio, which is the world's

128
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>largest you know, radio conglomerate here eight hundred plus stations

129
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 2>all over the country, and it says this here is

130
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna read it and cal let me know if

131
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 2>the bosses are calling. But the email subject was super

132
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Bowl trademark reminder important reminder. Important to be clear on

133
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the use of trademarks, especially around the game this weekend.

134
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Please see below When it is okay, stations who are

135
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>promoting the super Bowl fifty nine YouTube tailgate concert can

136
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>reference the word super Bowl when promoting the concert as

137
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>we iHeart are the partner for the pregame concert and

138
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>it is included in the event title. That is the

139
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>only time you are allowed to reference it by name

140
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>unless you have written authorization. Stations cannot use the trademark

141
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl outside of referencing the concert event unless they

142
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>have additional written authorization. The term super Bowl is a

143
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>trademark of the unfill may not be used without explicit

144
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>written permission. Now, it is permissible to use the term

145
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Big Game to refer to the super Bowl. So I

146
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>could use the Big Game in an advertisement for a

147
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 2>store that is selling items for someone might needing a

148
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>party for that day or whatever. It is very important

149
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>to know the difference, as still you're to comply can

150
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 2>result in costly penalties. Please review the trademark guidelines before

151
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>you talk about it, Folks, I do not know if

152
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to make it past this commercial break. If

153
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the phone is ringing, I will try to refrain from

154
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 2>using the term Super Bowl. I will go with Big

155
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Game because I'm going to tell you about last minute

156
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 2>televisions to buy. If you want a party tray of

157
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.440
<v Speaker 2>some wings to watch the screw Big Game? How much

158
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>commercials are going for in the big gate where you

159
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.759
<v Speaker 2>can see Big Game commercials before they even air. How

160
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 2>long the over under? How long will Michael Garfield last

161
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 2>on this show? Maybe two and a half commercial breaks?

162
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>We shall see people don't go anywhere. It is the

163
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Hi Tech Taxing show on Big Game weekend, Hi Tech

164
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Texan show, by the way, which is trademarked by me,

165
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>and anybody can utilize it, not to steal it, not

166
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 2>to endorse it, but if you want to refer to

167
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>me by the name, feel free to use high Tech Texan. I,

168
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>unlike the NFL, love people saying high tech Texan instead

169
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>of that other two words that start with an S

170
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 2>and a B. That Big Game this weekend, which we

171
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess now if you just tuned in, we technically

172
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 2>cannot use it because I do not want to get

173
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. Phone number here eight it's three four six

174
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine text and if you do want to get

175
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.039
<v Speaker 2>into the game, three four six twenty nine textan and

176
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about a number of things, including

177
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the Big Game this weekend. Who you got? Who you got?

181
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight hours at the most. If you're in San Antonio,

182
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 2>you got less than twenty four hours. If you're Dallas,

<v Speaker 2>you've got less than that. Wherever you're listening, If you're

<v Speaker 2>setting up a television for your party tomorrow, let me

185
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>help you out. You better know what you're doing, because

186
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.639
<v Speaker 2>the last thing you want to do is you want

187
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to run to Costco. You want to run the best

<v Speaker 2>buy It got Sam's wherever you're to get a TV,

189
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.679
<v Speaker 2>and you better have someone pick up that fifty five

190
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 2>inch seventy five inch. You gotta have one hundred inch TV.

191
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>You better plug in your cable. Does it work in

192
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>the channels come in? Well? Is it set up? Is

193
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it set for ten ADP? I mean you're not gonna

194
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>get four I mean there is a way to watch

195
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>it four k over the year. If you have cable,

196
00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>you're probably not gonna be able to watch it in

197
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 2>four k. Makes the last thing you want to do

198
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>is you want to have people over. Man, they're ready

199
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.399

201
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>you last week. Set up your TV at least a

202
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 2>week before to get it done. If you need some

203
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>last minute help, feel free to try to get in.

204
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I can maybe help you talk you off the ledge

205
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>three four six twenty nine Texan. One of the ways

206
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I have long said, if you really want the best picture,

207
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.840
<v Speaker 2>using over the air antenna versus cable or versus god forbid,

208
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>you're using satellite. If you are in a big sit well,

209
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>if you're in any city, but certainly a large city

210
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 2>like I am broadcasting in Houston and Dallas and San Antonio.

211
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it is on the Fox TV and your

212
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Fox affiliate depending whatever it is by the FCC. They

213
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it is a law. They are broadcasting a digital signal

214
00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>over the air right now. And if you got a

215
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>digital antenna, which doesn't cost much. Man, these things could

216
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>be ten bucks, thirty bucks, no more really than that.

217
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>And you hook it into your television, and you point

218
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and aim your antenna, hopefully near a window or outside

219
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>wherever that broadcast tower is. You're gonna pull in a

220
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 2>much better TV picture, much better quality than you're getting

221
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>than you're getting on cable, quite simply because that signal

222
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>it's not compressed like cable does. It is over the

223
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be without delay my cable. The way

224
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I watch it at number one, I play an exhorbited

225
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>amount of money. Thank you very much, Exfinity. I'm not

226
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>happy with you. But it is sometimes ten to thirty

227
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 2>seconds behind real time, certainly behind some of my buddies

228
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>who are texting me. So when my buddies text me,

229
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>did you see that play, they're spoiling it for me.

230
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 2>When you're watching over the air, it is almost real

231
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>time and the quality is so much better. Take it

232
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>from me, You may want to try that There is

233
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a way to stream it this year for fr ee,

234
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Like when it's on CBS CBS is they charge you

235
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>for streaming because they want you to get the parentmont

236
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>network and everything. For some reason you want to stream

237
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it because you don't have cable well number or you

238
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>don't even have in the over the antenna. You could

239
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 2>watch it on two B t ub I. TB is

240
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 2>owned by Fox. Oh my, how about that? You download

241
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>the two B app and you can watch it. And

242
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I believe you can actually watch that stream in four

243
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 2>K and that's pretty big issue. You really can't watch

244
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 2>it in four K because a lot of cable companies

245
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 2>do not allow to not broadcast, do not broadcast or

246
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 2>do not carry that signal all the way through in

247
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>four K. That big game it does start at five

248
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 2>thirty Central time. You can watch it live. But to

249
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.759
<v Speaker 2>be is is pretty cool. There's a lot of There

250
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 2>are a number of different free streamers out there. There,

251
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 2>the free trials of direct TV, which is a stream,

252
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Fubo which is another one. You could sign up I

253
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.120
<v Speaker 2>think for YouTube tv for a week or two before

254
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 2>it gets here for eighty nine dollars or so. But

255
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.440
<v Speaker 2>twob is hosting the free live stream of Fox's game,

256
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the game day coverage of the twenty twenty five Big Game,

257
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>and so questions about that, I am here for you.

258
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 2>We have got to Oh, by the way, for the

259
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>first time, people don't care about audio a lot. I'm

260
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>not an audio file is what they call them? The

261
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl Oop, sorry about that. The Big Game is

262
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>being broadcast for the very first time with Dolby ATMOS

263
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>ATMs audio. But only if you have Exfinity X one,

264
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>which is their even higher service, and if you have

265
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 2>the right year. As I told you, I have Exfinity

266
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 2>for the three hundred whatever dollars I'm paying a month.

267
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Not only should I get this dang game in Dolby atmost,

268
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I should get it in freaking a k you know what,

269
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I should actually be given a ticket to the actual

270
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 2>game in New Orleans. That's how much I'm paying for

271
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>this service. So Comcast, which owns Exfinity, they said earlier

272
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 2>this week that it will not only offer Dobie Vision

273
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>as it did a few years ago for the Big Game.

274
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>This year, it's also adding Dolby ATMAS Dobie at MISS

275
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna need to be an Exfinity xcellent subscriber.

276
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>And you're gonna need a checklist of required hardware. You're

277
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna need a four K TV, You're gonna need a

278
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>four K hd R set top box. You're gonna need

279
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 2>a four K capable HDMI cord. You're gonna need external

280
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 2>speakers or a soundbar that need to support Dolby ATMOS

281
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>for the virtual sound experience. People not worth it. I

282
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>do not hear. You don't need to hear Tom Brady's

283
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>color commentary. That's that clear to go out and buy

284
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff. But you know, it's nice to know

285
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>the technology is there three four six twenty nine texts

286
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in is how you're going to get to me if

287
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you want to see some of the ads. I have

288
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Speaker 2>seen most all of the ads, and I'm a marketing guy.

289
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>And for eight million dollars for the high end price

290
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that Fox is charging, those advertisers want to maximize their

291
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>ad buy and so just blowing it all in a

292
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 2>thirty second one time. They've released a lot of their

293
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 2>ads free game, and you can find them on YouTube,

294
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and you can find them on different to very you know,

295
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you go to the websites. I GARF have made it

296
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>easy for you. I have found one site that it's

297
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>legal too, that already has posted almost every single of

298
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.000

<v Speaker 2>them are off, okay, I haven't laughed out loud for some.

306

<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of superstars. I saw everybody. Yes, I

307
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.640
<v Speaker 2>know the stupid mayonnaise commercial has that when Harry met

308
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Sally with Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan kind of Cube. I've

309

<v Speaker 2>who goes on and on. Some of them tug your heart.

311
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Some of them don't make sense. There's one with Shaboozy.

312
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I just listen. I love Shaboozy. His song, you know,

313
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's get Drunk on Fifth Street. Whatever it is, he's

314
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in a he's in a candy commercial that you don't

315
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 2>if you unless you know what Shaboozy looks like you

316
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 2>don't know who this guy is walking down the street.

317
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>That's that's wasted six to seven eight million dollars. I

318
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't like that one. So you can go to x

319
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 2>dot com, Twitter, go to high Tech Texan and if

320
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 2>you hurry up, let me know one of your favorite commercials. Now,

321
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll tell you this. This is what these these companies do.

322
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 2>They will tease these commercials beforehand, but then during the

323
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 2>actual game, maybe at the end, they're gonna surprise you.

324
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe there's gonna be a cameo that you didn't know.

325
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 2>That is how you maximize. Oh that's funny. And I

326
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>say this is because if you're watching the big game

327
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.960
<v Speaker 2>with friends, and generally you're gonna be with friends, and

328
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>generally you're gonna be a big party and everybody's gonna

329
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>be talking, and when the commercials kind of gone on,

330
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be shut up. I want to hear this.

331
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Just go ahead and watch the commercials beforehand. I like advertisers.

332
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.359
<v Speaker 2>I love sponsors. By the way, this portion of my

<v Speaker 4>Indeed, Michael Garfield.

355
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.599
<v Speaker 2>It is the long running high tech text show heard

356
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>all across the state of Texas, Trustrilly and around the

357
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:05.400
<v Speaker 2>world on the iHeartRadio app. We do thank you for

358
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.799
<v Speaker 2>downloading that app. And you know I talk about apps,

359
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>but you know I'm gonna go about old school. At

360
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.559
<v Speaker 2>my desk, I actually have a calendar. I have literally

361
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 2>a calendar that I ripped the pages out.

362
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

363
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I listen, I use my Microsoft calendar and

364
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at these at the calendar and it's the

365
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 2>beginning of February and i know what that means for me.

366
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.200
<v Speaker 2>It means I'm starting to get all my ten ninety

367
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>nine tax forms in the mail right now, and I'm

368
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>not happy about that whenever I go out to my mailbox.

369
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 2>But a last people reminder, tax season is upontus. Depending

370
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>if your pay quarterly taxes or the April fifteenth tax

371
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>it is coming up. And believe it or not, taxes

372
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.119
<v Speaker 2>have a lot to do with with so many things,

373
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the way we spend, what we don't spend. And there's

374
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 2>some you know, some tips and you know ways to

375
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 2>get around some things. And that's one of the things

376
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that I wanted to talk about when it comes particularly

377
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 2>to cell phone in data plans. And I was talking

378
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to to my buds over at Total Wireless, and they said,

379
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.119
<v Speaker 2>this is a very seasonal. It's a perfect time with

380
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.519
<v Speaker 2>some of their prepaid plans to really think about some

381
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>of these things when it's tax season. So I wanted

382
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.599
<v Speaker 2>to get some more information about this, and so I said,

383
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.839
<v Speaker 2>let's set up a little chat, which I'm going to

384
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.920
<v Speaker 2>do right now with AJ Paul. He is the new

385
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 2>vice president of sales with Total Wireless, many stores across

386
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 2>the country and a ton of stores, AJ that you

387
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 2>have here in our great state of Texas of Houston,

388
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio, in Dallas. I do appreciate. Have you done

389
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 2>your taxes? Let me start with that question.

390
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 3>I have not done yet, but it is on my

391
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 3>to do list.

392
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Michael, I do beg you for you better get on

393
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a brother. I thank you for your time. This is

394
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.559
<v Speaker 2>incorrect me if I'm wrong. Tax season it's a time

395
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 2>when many people reassess their budgets and knowing that how

396
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>can your company, how can Total Wireless help customers make

397
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the most of their refunds? And I do like that

398
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>word refunds when upgrading their plans.

399
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, absolutely, Michael. You know a single word that defines

400
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 3>for us that Total Wireless is flexibility. So we have

401
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:06.079
<v Speaker 3>options for our customers for family plans for multi months.

402
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 3>So think about this way. You have a refund, how

403
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 3>do you want a best deploy it you can get

404
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.519
<v Speaker 3>a new device at a great value, or we have

405
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.079
<v Speaker 3>some plans where you can pay three months in advance

406
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 3>for a great value bundle price. Then you don't have

407
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.480
<v Speaker 3>to worry about your wireless plan for three months. Right,

408
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:24.119
<v Speaker 3>get ahead in your budgeting. So this is a great

409
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 3>time for flexibility in our Total Wireless stores for our customers.

410
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm very familiar with your plans. I use

411
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 2>your service, and I know there's a lot of pluses.

412
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I talk about a lot. I mean you don't have

413
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to have long term commitments, and you just talked about

414
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>paying upfront. I guess the words flexibility aj flexibility very

415
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 2>important when choosing a wireless provider. Let me, I'll have

416
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you go over some of the options that Total Wireless

417
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 2>offers when it comes to paying upfront or avoiding those

418
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:54.039
<v Speaker 2>long term commitments. What do you have?

419
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Absolutely, So think about it this way. When somebody

420
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 3>brings their number over to us Total Wireless, right, we

421
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 3>basically deeply discount a device. Right now, we're running a

422
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 3>great iPhone thirteen promotion right where we a customer can

423
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:13.079
<v Speaker 3>get a free iPhone thirteen with poured in and where,

424
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 3>and we have bundled three months of service with it.

425
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 3>So customer comes in, they get a new plan, they

426
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:23.880
<v Speaker 3>get three months of service already paid, and it's so

427
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.640
<v Speaker 3>much less than if they were trying to get it

428
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.799
<v Speaker 3>anywhere else. And oh, by the way, there's no monthly

429
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.960
<v Speaker 3>payments on the phone. It's all paid off. They own

430
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.960
<v Speaker 3>it free and clear. So it's really just an amazing

431
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 3>time for our customers. Now, if you want to do

432
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.039
<v Speaker 3>like a family plan, we've got a better plan for them.

433
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Right.

434
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 3>You can get multiple iPhone thirteens or an Android. If

435
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 3>you're an Android person, you know at point of sale

436
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:54.440
<v Speaker 3>where your total out the door price is affordable, but

437
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.319
<v Speaker 3>the quality of service and plans and phones they're getting

438
00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 3>are just unbelievable.

439
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.799
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about androids. I'm an Android guy. You know me,

440
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 2>you love me and all my listeners, and we don't

441
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 2>do iPhones, baby, but I know we can talk about

442
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>to bring your own device. That's one of the great things. Man.

443
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You don't even need to purchase the phone from you

444
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 2>guys bring your own device and you can get the service.

445
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>But we'll continue what that is. We are talking to

446
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>AJ Paul. He is with Total Wireless managing monthly expenses.

447
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be number one right now for a

448
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. It's just what's going on in the

449
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>economy and the tax time of year. Talk about the

450
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 2>prepaid plans, I mean, how can it help customers stay

451
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.279
<v Speaker 2>in control of their wireless costs?

452
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Michael, the way to think about prepaid now is

453
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 3>completely different than what people thought about. Right When we

454
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.680
<v Speaker 3>offer solutions at a Total Wireless store, we're not only

455
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 3>just trying to save them money on their wireless spill. Hey,

456
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 3>we offer home internet. We offer some plans with Disney Plus. Right,

457
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 3>so if you're an ESPN person, if you're a Hulu person,

458
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 3>so we can help you save money not only on

459
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 3>your subscriptions and home internet altogether. The bundled in. So

460
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 3>when you talk about living on a budget, predictability is

461
00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 3>the most important thing. You pay up front, you know

462
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:14.759
<v Speaker 3>exactly what you're getting. There's no surprise fees, no surprise bills,

463
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 3>no overages, and that keeps somebody on a budget long term.

464
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 2>It makes sense. Listen a lot people. They ask me.

465
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 2>One of the biggest questions I've received twenty plus years

466
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.759
<v Speaker 2>i've been doing this AJ it's like, should I is

467
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 2>it easy to switch providers? Can I keep my own number?

468
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I mean when I started the show,

469
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't portability. Now there is portability, you can switch

470
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 2>and keep your numbers. For the people out there thinking

471
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 2>about switching providers, what do they in your give me

472
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the top one, two, three things? What should they consider

473
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>when looking for a plan that fits their lifestyle? In there?

474
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe their needs.

475
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely so really important. Right, Look, everybody offers kind of

476
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 3>similar things, but there's some value propositions that we bring

477
00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to the table.

478
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Right.

479
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 3>We don't data cap our customs, So if you use

480
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 3>unlimited data, well it's truly unlimited. So if you are

481
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 3>a streamer on your Android device because the big screen,

482
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 3>well guess what you can do that?

483
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Right?

484
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 3>If you want to make sure that there's some friends

485
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 3>and families abroad you want to call, some of our

486
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.920
<v Speaker 3>plans include international calling. So really be sure of what's

487
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.559
<v Speaker 3>important to you, your lifestyle and also kind of your

488
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 3>calling habits, right, because what we'll tell you is on

489
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 3>the surface, all the plans look the same, but when

490
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.000
<v Speaker 3>you look at the fine print, Total Wireless really offers

491
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.319
<v Speaker 3>the best value proposition of all the add ons, the

492
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 3>value added features that we offer.

493
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I like it to AJ Paul with me here for

572
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.920

573
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 2>It's Michael Garfield. It is the High Tech Texting Show.

574
00:30:42.200 --> 00:31:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back, I know, segment

575
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 2>of this first hour of the High Tech Ta Sinsha.

576
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much for hanging in here. If you've

577
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 2>got if you've got square pools for the big game tomorrow,

578
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I hope you draw some good numbers. I am in

579
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a square pool. I think I'm at about three or

580
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.799
<v Speaker 2>four different square pools, and the big one I am in,

581
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and I am not kidding you. I am in a

582
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.680
<v Speaker 2>four hundred dollars square pool. And believe me, I'm not

583
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 2>bragging about this because I'm not happy about it. I

584
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:33.799
<v Speaker 2>was kind of goaded into it. I'm at a four

585
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars per square square pool, which means, if you

586
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>can extrapolate real quick, the payout is ten thousand dollars

587
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>per quarter. It is the most I've ever bought into

588
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>a squarepool. I only bought one square and I think

589
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 2>my numbers are seven and nine, and I don't know

590
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 2>for which team. But if for some reason you're watching

591
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 2>the game, think of me. If the last digits are

592
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>seven and nine, and it depends, I actually may not

593
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:02.599
<v Speaker 2>show up for work next week if I win one

594
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 2>of these square pools. I won two years ago, I

595
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 2>won a square pool. It was the one in Los Angeles.

596
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 2>It was when the Rams won it. Who they played.

597
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 2>They played the Bengals. I believe the second quarter, in

598
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter the digits were the exact same, and

599
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:20.640
<v Speaker 2>I won those two quarters, So I won. And I

600
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>think it was a ten dollars square pool. So still

601
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I won a few hundred bucks whatever it was. You

602
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.680
<v Speaker 2>imagine winning one quarter and I get ten gerer. You

603
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.319
<v Speaker 2>imagine winning two or more quarters, and it's just cash.

604
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Our irs don't have to know about that. I digress

605
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>here at the Michael Garfield Show, the High Tech Taxis Show. Hey,

606
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 2>speaking of money, if if you're spending an entire paycheck

607
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:51.759
<v Speaker 2>on a dozen eggs, you might as well prepare them

608
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>to perfection. And I saw this. Now scientists now say

609
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.960
<v Speaker 2>they have discovered the recipe to cook the best possible

610
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 2>boiled egg, and it just takes thirty two minutes. I

611
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:11.839
<v Speaker 2>call bs on that. I'm sorry, man, thirty two minutes

612
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to boil an egg. It is a study I saw.

613
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 2>It's published in Communications Engineering, which is exactly the magazine

614
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I would be reading. To boil an egg. Scientists recommend.

615
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:26.119
<v Speaker 2>We got scientists in the mix now telling us how

616
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to boil eggs. Scientists recommend putting eggs in a steamer basket,

617
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 2>which actually I do, transferring them between two bowls of

618
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 2>water every two minutes so they can cool off and

619
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>cool up, one boiling and the other set to eighty

620
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:46.759
<v Speaker 2>six degrees until thirty two minutes are up. It's called

621
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 2>periodic cooking and it yields a velvety yolk in a

622
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 2>meaty but soft white egg. You kidding me? I used

623
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 2>to boil eggs for about thirty minutes and the yolk

624
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 2>turns out gray and chalky. And I did I thought

625
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:04.119
<v Speaker 2>that my mom did it that way. I did it

626
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.920
<v Speaker 2>that way. I mean, passover comes around and I'm boiling

627
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.400
<v Speaker 2>eggs and then they're all gray and chalking. Until a

628
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.079
<v Speaker 2>buddy of mine told me about soft boiled eggs. He

629
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 2>boils his eggs for eight minutes, puts him in water. Dude,

630
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>that is the way to go. Do a softboat egg.

631
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Because the yolk it's bright yellow. Sometimes you're gonna get it.

632
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a you could taste the yolk. It's not chalky. Man,

633
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 2>let's debate it right now, phone number three four six

634
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine text and that's how you're gonna get into

635
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the high tech tax and show. By the way, here's

636
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:45.079
<v Speaker 2>in breaking news. Someone stole one hundred thousand dollars worth

637
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.800
<v Speaker 2>of eggs off a truck in Pennsylvania. I think it

638
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>was this week, AE hundred thousand dots. Who carries that

639
00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 2>many eggs in a truck? Then again, I guess with

640
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.159
<v Speaker 2>the price of eggs today, it could have been about

641
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>four dozen eggs. By the way, police are scrambling to

642
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 2>find the culprit. They're hoping to crack the case soon.

643
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna let you know if I hear anything more

644
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:18.320
<v Speaker 2>about it. Okay, we're done with the puns here on

645
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the High Tech Textion Show. You know how to get

646
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:21.400
<v Speaker 2>a hold of me. You know how to get a

647
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 2>hold of me. Next hour, I'm gonna talk about the

648
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Samsung Galaxy S twenty five, the S twenty five plus

649
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 2>the S twenty five Ultra. Officially, it took two plus

650
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>weeks that I've had the phone. They are now officially

651
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 2>on sale on the market. If you pre ordered and

652
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.320
<v Speaker 2>you have a Samsung Galaxy S twenty five, one of

653
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the three phones they released, you've had it now for

654
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 2>less than twenty four to forty eight hours. Why don't

655
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you use it in call? Mean you tell me your

656
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.039
<v Speaker 2>thoughts because you've heard me talk about it in review

659
00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>more to give you some ideas. Is it worth the money?

660
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.079
<v Speaker 2>Is the Ultra worth thirteen hundred? Next hour? If you

661

<v Speaker 2>Just search for for high Tech Texts and you'll be

665
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.840
<v Speaker 2>able to uh to listen to that second hour of

666
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:18.559
<v Speaker 2>the the high Tech Texts and show for you Austin folks,

667
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.519
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people go to Austin, San Antonio so

668
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>close to Austin. You know what you're getting in Austin.

669
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:27.719
<v Speaker 2>You are you were you were gonna get way mo

670
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.760
<v Speaker 2>w A y m O. You may have seen these

671
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.320
<v Speaker 2>vehicles on the street and this is kind of scary.

672
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.639
<v Speaker 2>This is the partnership they have with Uber. It is

673
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:43.719
<v Speaker 2>a self driving robotaxi. Has anybody seen these It's only

674
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in a few cities. Austin got them and they've been

675
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.559
<v Speaker 2>testing them. You may have been driving nearby a car

676
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:57.039
<v Speaker 2>with this weird looking alien round antenna thing on top

677
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and no, no one has been in there. Well, you

678
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 2>are now one step closer to hailing as self driving

679
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.719
<v Speaker 2>vehicle in Austin through the Uber app. Company announced earlier

680
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:13.440
<v Speaker 2>this week that they opened up what's called an interest

681
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:18.159
<v Speaker 2>list so that curious writers can declare their interest in

682
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>potentially being matched with a Waimo robo taxi because the

683
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 2>partnership with Uber is launching very quote unquote soon. I

684
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 2>can't tell exactly when it was a few months ago.

685
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.079
<v Speaker 2>In September, Uber and Weimo they announced the expansion of

686
00:37:33.079 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 2>their partnership in Austin and Atlanta, because they teamed up

687
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 2>already in Phoenix last year before I was in Austin,

688
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I think for it was a football game was watching.

689
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 2>I went up there for a ut football game and

690
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I saw a few waymos rolling around. They had a

691
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 2>launch party, which I was not invited to. Thank you, Weeimo,

692
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.920
<v Speaker 2>and they're getting ready. They're launching an early sometime the

693
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.360
<v Speaker 2>next few months. Early of twenty twenty five. They're one

694
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.800
<v Speaker 2>step closer to join the interest list Uber writers. I

695
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:03.159
<v Speaker 2>guess in Austin, you go to your account, your settings,

696
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:07.719
<v Speaker 2>you look for autonomous vehicles under the ride preferences, and

697
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:13.719
<v Speaker 2>you hit join the interest list. Self driving vehicles are new,

698
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:19.199
<v Speaker 2>but they've grown relatively stable in the easing years, and

699
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Ram no doubt it's the biggest player. Amazon has something

700
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.119
<v Speaker 2>called Zooks. They're trying to get a piece of that.

701
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Luca depot. There's startups like Nay Mobility, are Avaie they've

702
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:36.360
<v Speaker 2>expanded and GM they used that one cup cruise they

703
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 2>killed that that's not gonna happen to Before we get

704

<v Speaker 2>out of here, think about this. Feel free. You all

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:19.000

734
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:33.920
<v Speaker 2>guess I'm an easy target of people know what I

735
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 2>want because I am one of the hardest persons that

736
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you would ever know to buy something for. And if

737
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.679
<v Speaker 2>you think about it, it's very simple. I have covered

738
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the consumer lifestyle slash technology industry for twenty plus years.

739
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:58.400
<v Speaker 2>If I want almost anything in the technologic world, the

740
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:03.320
<v Speaker 2>gadget world, I'm very honored that I could contact a

741
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 2>company and they're going to send it to me. Now,

742
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.840
<v Speaker 2>when they send it to me, odds are they're gonna

743
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:09.960
<v Speaker 2>give me just They're gonna let me use it, review

744
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 2>it for about thirty days or so. I'm totally cool

745
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:13.800
<v Speaker 2>with that before I have to return it. But it

746
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.519
<v Speaker 2>gives me the opportunity to find out do I want it?

747
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Did it change my life? That gives me the content

748
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:24.559
<v Speaker 2>to tell you this is a great product. This product

749
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.039
<v Speaker 2>is crap. You don't want to use it. So there's

750
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:32.599
<v Speaker 2>no use anybody getting me anything when it comes to

751
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>tech or a kitchen gadget or even a car, Like

752
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.320
<v Speaker 2>anybody's gonna buy me the car. But if you want

753
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:39.559
<v Speaker 2>to buy me a car, feel free to buy me

754
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:43.239
<v Speaker 2>a car. I test drive cars every single week. I

755
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:46.119
<v Speaker 2>don't work with dealerships. I get them directly from the manufacturer.

756
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I have done this for fifteen years. I'm a member

757
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of the Texas Auto Writers Association, and I'm very honored

758
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:55.519
<v Speaker 2>to be able to get a car. It is not

759
00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a paid deal. It is total content, which means when

760
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:01.559
<v Speaker 2>I roll around in a car, a vehicle, and it

761
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.880
<v Speaker 2>could be an SUV, a CUV, a sports car, an EV,

762
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.719
<v Speaker 2>a Mini van, I get them all. I can tell

763
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you they're great, they're bad. This needs to improve, and

764
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:14.719
<v Speaker 2>I really do, from the bottom of my heart, I

765
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Speaker 2>do appreciate you listening to me and taking my advice

766
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and going out test driving and purchasing so many vehicles

767
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 2>that I've recommended for fifteen years. All right, so you

768
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:25.400
<v Speaker 2>don't need to get me a car. And by the way,

769
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:27.280
<v Speaker 2>later this hour, I'm going to talk about the one.

770
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:30.880
<v Speaker 2>What's Michael driving? This week? I was in a brand

771
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:36.280
<v Speaker 2>new twenty twenty five Nissan Kicks Get you All Kicks

772
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.199
<v Speaker 2>en Route sixty six. It's a relatively small vehicle, doesn't

773
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:40.639
<v Speaker 2>cost too too too much. But I'll give you my

774
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.440
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on that sonyway. It's tough to get me things.

775
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.639
<v Speaker 2>And where I'm going with this is I have a

776
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:49.840
<v Speaker 2>few passions. And if you know who I am, you

777
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I do. I am a bourbon guy. I

778
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:59.480
<v Speaker 2>love Meason brown Water. Very few bourbons. Bourbon whiskey gets released,

779
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.840
<v Speaker 2>certainly the state of Texas without a bottle coming through

780
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:07.960
<v Speaker 2>this radio studio where I test it. I interviewed distillers.

781
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.320
<v Speaker 2>I will give you the tasting notes. I had a

782
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.400
<v Speaker 2>little caramel on the front end. There's a vanilla, very

783
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.280
<v Speaker 2>oaky woo. This is powerful.

784
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Ah, this is not.

785
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I have a bourbon collection. I literally have built a

786
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.480
<v Speaker 2>bourbon bar, very personalized bourbon bar, and in my home

787
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:29.119
<v Speaker 2>out of that thing, too, and so when people want

788
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:31.519
<v Speaker 2>to give me a gift, and I had a little

789
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I had several kind of little parties. But people through

790
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and they thought, hey, let's be cute. Let's get Michael

791
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a bottle of bourbon, which they probably should know. I

792
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:43.079
<v Speaker 2>probably have more bourbon than half the state of Kentucky combined.

793
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.280
<v Speaker 2>But I got some really nice bottles of bourbons. I

794
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.639
<v Speaker 2>probably got another. I got about twelve to fifteen new

795
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:50.519
<v Speaker 2>bottles of bourbon, some of which are my favorites, some

796
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:52.519
<v Speaker 2>of which I've had before. Some are knew that I

797
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:56.440
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard, which is nice. You'd think one of these

798
00:43:56.480 --> 00:44:00.280
<v Speaker 2>bourbons can't callum. Let's let's where's our sales folks? Okay,

799
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.800
<v Speaker 2>for iHeart, where's Robert Reese, my guy? Let's let's put

803
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.920
<v Speaker 2>four or five different varietels. Very impressed with that. Got

804
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a bottle of Colonel E. H. Taylor That ain't cheap.

805
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:20.199
<v Speaker 5>Now.

806
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.679
<v Speaker 2>I got some good friends. One dude gave me a

807
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:26.920
<v Speaker 2>bottle Scotch. That's gonna be regifted. Phone number here three

810
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:34.119
<v Speaker 2>it's time for. You know what it's time for. It

811
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:39.599
<v Speaker 2>is time for this week in what other job is

812
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:45.000
<v Speaker 2>AI taking over? That's right, folks, brought to you by nobody.

813
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.719
<v Speaker 2>What other job this week is AI taking over? Well,

814
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.920
<v Speaker 2>here we go. Adobe Acrobat. We like Adobe, you know,

815
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 2>pdf reader and does some things. Adobe a Acrobat apparently

816
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 2>just launched an AI assistant. Pretty cool. Everybody. Everybody has

817
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:06.599
<v Speaker 2>to have an AI assistant, right, ADOBEAI has an AI

818
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:14.039
<v Speaker 2>assistant that can now assess contracts for you. That's right, contracts.

819
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:17.400
<v Speaker 2>It gives the ability to understand contracts and compares them

820
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:21.559
<v Speaker 2>for you. Somebody says it's going to help you make

821
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:25.320
<v Speaker 2>sense of complex terms and spot some differences between agreements

822
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:27.480
<v Speaker 2>between the old ones between the new ones, so you

823
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.920
<v Speaker 2>can understand what you're signing. It's going to be able

824
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:33.360
<v Speaker 2>to recognize that a document is a contract, even if

825
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 2>it's a scan page. It can identify and list key terms.

826
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:40.039
<v Speaker 2>From there, it can summarize the document's contents, and it

827
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:43.639
<v Speaker 2>can recommend questions that you can ask based on what's

828
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:46.960
<v Speaker 2>in it. It could compare up to ten contracts with

829
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:49.719
<v Speaker 2>one another, and when it's done checking, you could sign

830
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the document duh directly or request the signatures from your

831
00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:58.639
<v Speaker 2>colleagues or clients. Of course, you have to trust the

832
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>AI assistant to actually be able the spot important information.

833
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.719
<v Speaker 2>You've got to catch the both small and the significant changes.

834
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm reading this and I'm thinking, if it works properly,

835
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.320
<v Speaker 2>this could be one of of Acrobat AI's most useful features,

836
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:17.079
<v Speaker 2>seeing as users open billions of contracts every single month

837
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:20.480
<v Speaker 2>on the Acrobat app. Oh, by the way, this isn't

838
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:24.679
<v Speaker 2>free the Acrobat Ai Assistant. It's an add on. It's

839
00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:26.639
<v Speaker 2>going to cost you five bucks a month, whether or

840
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:29.519
<v Speaker 2>not you're already paying for adobees other services and products.

841
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:32.360
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna say in here this is the way

842
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I assess products or services. Is this for you or not?

843
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:38.760
<v Speaker 2>If you do read contracts, and if you do retain

844
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:44.079
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer that charges you anywhere from two three four

845
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.159
<v Speaker 2>five hundred bucks an hour to some of my buddies

846
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:51.079
<v Speaker 2>who are literally charged fifteen hundred, two thousand dollars an hour,

847
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not getting you. I have some high prier I

848
00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:56.480
<v Speaker 2>have some really smart friends five bucks a month. I'd

849
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to actually have a lawyer challenge. I may

850
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.719
<v Speaker 2>do this. I am one of the few lawyers who

851
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:03.719
<v Speaker 2>are one of my friends who was not a lawyer.

852
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Most every single one of my really really good friends

853
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.000
<v Speaker 2>for the past forty years, they went to law school.

854
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:13.400
<v Speaker 2>They were for major firms Chicago, New York, Dallas, there's

855
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:16.239
<v Speaker 2>a few here in Houston. I should probable, I really

856
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:19.239
<v Speaker 2>should do it live on the radio. Hey lawyer, here's

857
00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:24.239
<v Speaker 2>a contract. Within five minutes, thirty minutes, I want you

858
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to assess this contract A versus contract B. What are

859
00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:28.920
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts? And then I'm gonna put the I'm gonna

860
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.880
<v Speaker 2>spend five bucks on the Adobe Acrobat AI assistant to

861
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:34.920
<v Speaker 2>see what they do. Wouldn't that be awesome. Let's embarrass

862
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:37.639
<v Speaker 2>some lawyers out there. And there you have it, folks,

863
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:42.440
<v Speaker 2>it's the weekly. What other job is AI taking over

864
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.519
<v Speaker 2>the world with? If you've got something from a pop

<v Speaker 2>If you're thinking about having a party, catered office party,

890
00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean if and when I ever get married, Cabo

891
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Bob's is gonna They're going to cater the wedding. That's

892
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:39.400
<v Speaker 2>how good they are. Four locations in Houston. They got

893
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:41.880
<v Speaker 2>one in San Antonio, Dallas, you're screwed. They don't have

894
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:44.039
<v Speaker 2>any yet. Austin. They're all over the place. They're based

895
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:46.480
<v Speaker 2>in Austin. But Cobo Bob's they were just great, So

896
00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Lori and Arnold Rios, they kind of run the Houston region,

897
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:54.639
<v Speaker 2>just just salt of the earth. And every time I

898
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.360
<v Speaker 2>go in the place, it's kind of fast casual. You

899
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.480
<v Speaker 2>walk into a Cabo Bob's, you go up and down

900
00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.119
<v Speaker 2>the line, tell them you want what you want in

901
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.000
<v Speaker 2>either a massive burrito, three tacos. They can make caesadias.

902
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.320
<v Speaker 2>They're just so good. Cobo Bob take my word for

903
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:09.800
<v Speaker 2>it's nice. When people say, garth Man, you were right.

904
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:14.199
<v Speaker 2>That is just good food. And why are they closed

905
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:18.199
<v Speaker 2>on Sundays? I don't know. That's that's two of that's

906
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.239
<v Speaker 2>two of my partners here that are closed on Sunday.

907
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Cabo Bob's are closed. US coins and jewelry are closed

908
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:26.159
<v Speaker 2>on Sundays. It's a day rs people. But now that

909
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:29.400
<v Speaker 2>football season is getting ready to be ova this weekend

910
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:30.960
<v Speaker 2>on a Sunday, why don't you just open on a

911
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Sunday because there's nothing else to do? Just just my

912
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:36.199
<v Speaker 2>two cents? What else say you're gonna do? Oh real quickly,

913
00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna end on the AI thing. Lastest segment if

914
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you heard, I did a segment called what other job

915
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.760
<v Speaker 2>is AI taking Over? And I talked about Adobe's Acrobat

916
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.880
<v Speaker 2>AI can now assess contracts for you. You don't even

917
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 2>need to have a lawyer for that. Did anybody watch

918
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.239
<v Speaker 2>the Grammys last weekend? I caught the Grammys and there

919
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:58.800
<v Speaker 2>were some really neat performances. But did you see who

920
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:03.800
<v Speaker 2>won a Grammy? There's a It was a band that

921
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:06.840
<v Speaker 2>you made a lot of my listeners based on their

922
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:09.679
<v Speaker 2>age and demographics. You may not have heard of. It's

923
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.760
<v Speaker 2>a little It's a band out of little town in England.

924
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:19.239
<v Speaker 2>They're called the Beatles. They're no longer around and they

925
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:24.880
<v Speaker 2>won a Grammy fifty five years after they broke up.

926
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Why With the help of modern machine learning technology and AI,

927
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:39.159
<v Speaker 2>the Beatles released a song in late twenty twenty three.

928
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:43.000
<v Speaker 2>It's called Now and Then, and that won this Grammy.

929
00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.360
<v Speaker 2>And the song contains vocals that were recorded over fifty

930
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.920
<v Speaker 2>years ago and a guitar track from nineteen ninety five.

931
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.159
<v Speaker 2>The technological limitations at that time prevented it from really

932
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:58.880
<v Speaker 2>seeing the light of day because of the audio issues. Nope,

933
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the demo was first recorded John Lennon's singing and piano

934
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:11.039
<v Speaker 2>were on the same audio track. John Lennon murdered Rest

935
00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of Soul nineteen eighty, separating those two tracks of the

936
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:18.719
<v Speaker 2>singing a piano. It was impossible back then. AI can

937
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:23.559
<v Speaker 2>do that now without much bleed, without much loss, and

938
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:26.199
<v Speaker 2>the surviving Beatles Paul mcartney Ringo starred. They were able

939
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:28.360
<v Speaker 2>to complete the song by recording a new based new

940
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.679
<v Speaker 2>drum parts, and they released in almost thirty years later,

941
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:39.079
<v Speaker 2>and it won a Grammy this past year. That's I

942
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:42.280
<v Speaker 2>guess it got by with a little help from AI.

943
00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.639
<v Speaker 2>And that's the week in AI. And I'm almost done

944
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:48.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about AI, but I'm not because I'm getting ready

945
00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:52.039
<v Speaker 2>to talk about a phone that was just released that

946
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:54.840
<v Speaker 2>has AI. Folks, if you've listened to this show for

947
00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:57.639
<v Speaker 2>the past two or three weeks. I was in San Jose, California,

948
00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:01.119
<v Speaker 2>in January. I was out there on my half of Samsung.

949
00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:04.559
<v Speaker 2>It was their launch, their big press release, their news

950
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.639
<v Speaker 2>release of the sam Sung flagship up, the Galaxy S

951
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:11.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, three different versions. It's the S twenty five,

952
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the S twenty five plus the S twenty five Ultra.

953
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I was able to get an S twenty five Ultra.

954
00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I have had it for two, if not three weeks.

955
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.679
<v Speaker 2>I have played with it. I have showed off to

956
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:27.079
<v Speaker 2>a number of people who are big Android folks. I

957
00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:30.480
<v Speaker 2>am a longtime Samsung fan. I am not. I am

958
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:34.800
<v Speaker 2>not on their payroll. Samsung has directly, never not even indirect,

959
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.199
<v Speaker 2>They have never paid me anything. I have sold more

960
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Samsung gear than probably any other technologically technologial the media person.

961
00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I should be on their payroll. Nope, that's okay, don't

962
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:48.719
<v Speaker 2>worry about it. But I will tell you about it.

963
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:51.760
<v Speaker 2>It's a good phone. The Ultra is a big one,

964
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:56.519
<v Speaker 2>and it finally hit the market this past Friday. Anybody

965
00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:58.519
<v Speaker 2>have one talk to me, call me on your new

966
00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Samsung three fourths nine Texan t e xam. This is

967
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:06.719
<v Speaker 2>a big one. The big one is what I've had

968
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.159
<v Speaker 2>the Ultra thirteen hundred dollars. They did not up it

969
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:12.039
<v Speaker 2>from last year. The S twenty four Ultra also thirteen

970
00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:16.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars. It's designed a bit different this year's Ultra.

971
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:21.559
<v Speaker 2>It feels a little bit. It's a softer, more curvy appearance.

972
00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.440
<v Speaker 2>It is not ninety degree angles. You've got the four

973
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:26.960
<v Speaker 2>corners that are a little bit more curved. I would

974
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:28.920
<v Speaker 2>recommend putting a case on it, which at that point

975
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:32.360
<v Speaker 2>you really can't tell. It's curved, rounded corners. It has

976
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:36.320
<v Speaker 2>a new front and back glass. It's made of corning

977
00:54:36.519 --> 00:54:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a Gorilla armor two that's a new version of the

978
00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:43.199
<v Speaker 2>company's anti reflective coating. Looks great. Allegedly, it's going to

979
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.000
<v Speaker 2>be tougher if you drop it. Don't drop it people.

980
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:48.679
<v Speaker 2>If you combine it with the bezels on the end,

981
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:52.199
<v Speaker 2>they're fifteen percent smaller than before, which means you're going

982
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:56.039
<v Speaker 2>to get a larger phone. Front size. It's about a

983
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:59.199
<v Speaker 2>six point nine inch display, up from six point eight inches,

984
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:03.360
<v Speaker 2>but the actual physical size outside to outside from last

985
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:09.519
<v Speaker 2>year remains the same. Very first versatile phone. The chips

986
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:14.159
<v Speaker 2>inside a bit more powerful and the AI features that

987
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:18.320
<v Speaker 2>is what they're touting Yes, it's a faster chip. They've

988
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:22.559
<v Speaker 2>got a new ultra wide camera, phone sensors for the camera,

989
00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:28.440
<v Speaker 2>got a few cosmetic tweaks. Overall, looks feels pretty similar

990
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to last year's model. Excellent screen, good performance. I like

991
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the battery life. I can dig the ultra wide sensor

992
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:41.960
<v Speaker 2>went from what was it twelve megapixels maybe twenty five minutes,

993
00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:45.760
<v Speaker 2>it's fifty megapixels this year. Four camera lenses one, two, three, four.

994
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Those are the good things about it. I like it.

995
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:52.679
<v Speaker 2>If you use last year and know what an spen is,

996
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:55.920
<v Speaker 2>it's a pins that electronic pen change it this year

997
00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:59.559
<v Speaker 2>this no longer support. Doesn't have bluetooth, so you can't

998
00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.880
<v Speaker 2>use it as there's a magical wand it doesn't have

999
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:04.239
<v Speaker 2>those air actions where you can wave it and do

1000
00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>some things. Doesn't do that, which is fine. I never knew.

1001
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I never used it that way. It ain't cheap, it's

1002
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:15.639
<v Speaker 2>not fully comtible, compatible with all the magnetic CHI two accessories.

1003
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:20.679
<v Speaker 2>But make my mistake, this is AI. They are touting

1004
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:27.400
<v Speaker 2>the artificial intelligence features in the software. There's a number

1005
00:56:27.440 --> 00:56:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of new and improved features. The general goal. In my opinion,

1006
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.480
<v Speaker 2>it seems like it's making all of its tools more power,

1007
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:36.440
<v Speaker 2>more intuitive. They've got something called the Samsung News Brief

1008
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:41.679
<v Speaker 2>adds a very personalized feed weather, local traffic, upcoming calendar

1009
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:44.480
<v Speaker 2>appointments right on that home lock screen. You don't even

1010
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:46.719
<v Speaker 2>need to unlock it. I get one little morning says

1011
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:48.760
<v Speaker 2>good morning, and there's one at night. This is what

1012
00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you need to know. Pretty handy. They've got an edge

1013
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:56.599
<v Speaker 2>panel you swipe in on the tab the right side

1014
00:56:56.599 --> 00:56:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of the screen. There's some more AI features. It could

1015
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.840
<v Speaker 2>listen to what it could hit an AI can listen

1016
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to a song that's being played. You can hum in

1017
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:07.239
<v Speaker 2>a song that's being played. Yes, I know there are

1018
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:10.599
<v Speaker 2>apps that could do this too, Sound Hound, Shazam, but

1019
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:14.320
<v Speaker 2>it's right here at the AI feature. There's AI features

1020
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:18.079
<v Speaker 2>with the camera. You could generate of edit. You can

1021
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:21.519
<v Speaker 2>remove people and it works well. I did an Instagram

1022
00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to go to high tech texting on my Instagram a

1023
00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:25.559
<v Speaker 2>few days ago. I showed you how the let's remove

1024
00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:29.719
<v Speaker 2>somebody or something. You can make a sketch of yourself.

1025
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:31.360
<v Speaker 2>You can make a three D version that you can

1026
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:35.039
<v Speaker 2>make a car two version of yourself. Overall, it's neat.

1027
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Should you buy this at the end of the day

1028
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.280
<v Speaker 2>as we get to the bottom of the hour. If

1029
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you have a Samsung Galaxy S twenty four from last year,

1030
00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's a need to and S twenty

1031
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:48.400
<v Speaker 2>three if it's still in great working order, there's no

1032
00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:53.119
<v Speaker 2>cracks and your battery works well. Still nothing. I usually

1033
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:56.519
<v Speaker 2>recommend every two or three versions you get it. I

1034
00:57:56.599 --> 00:57:59.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think I see enough upgrades, enough change in this

1035
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:01.320
<v Speaker 2>thing for you to go out and get it. If

1036
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:04.079
<v Speaker 2>you don't have an S twenty three at S twenty four,

1037
00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:06.599
<v Speaker 2>if you've got an S twenty one, maybe you've got

1038
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:10.320
<v Speaker 2>an old Samsung Galaxy Note twenty which is about four

1039
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:14.039
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Yeah, I think it's worth you getting. Do

1040
00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:16.360
<v Speaker 2>you want to spend thirteen hundred dollars? There are less

1041
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:18.559
<v Speaker 2>expensive versions, Yes, there are. You can get the S

1042
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty five plus does still it's got a good chip,

1043
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:26.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have the nice high high end cameras, but it's smaller.

1044
00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:28.400
<v Speaker 2>It is cheaper for about one thousand dollars, and there's

1045
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:30.639
<v Speaker 2>one for about eight hundred dollars. The S twenty five.

1046
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:34.199
<v Speaker 2>It's worth looking at. Walk into some of your stores,

1047
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:37.639
<v Speaker 2>hold it, feel it. But if you have a version

1048
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:40.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're an Android fan and you're about two or three,

1049
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:42.599
<v Speaker 2>certainly four years or more of a version. You're waiting

1050
00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:46.280
<v Speaker 2>for it. They're out right now, go get it. Nothing

1051
00:58:46.360 --> 00:58:48.760
<v Speaker 2>is very very bad about this camera or the phone.

1052
00:58:48.920 --> 00:58:51.519
<v Speaker 2>I think Samsung has done a good job. We're going

1053
00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:54.679
<v Speaker 2>to take a break. Coming back up. How has AI

1054
00:58:55.400 --> 00:59:00.519
<v Speaker 2>affected other areas of technology, including search engine OUP toimization.

1055
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:05.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to an excellent expert in that area on

1056
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the High Tech Textan show, Don't go anywhere. We're back

1057
00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:34.800
<v Speaker 2>at it. It is Michael Garfield, d High Tech Texan.

1058
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Happy early February. Phone lines are open, but stand by.

1059
00:59:39.039 --> 00:59:40.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to take your phone calls yet because

1060
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:43.440
<v Speaker 2>this segment it's a conversation piece. That's actually what we

1061
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:47.320
<v Speaker 2>call an interview here in the radio program. If anybody

1062
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.679
<v Speaker 2>has seen my website, which by the way, high Tech

1063
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:51.840
<v Speaker 2>text and h I G H T E C H

1064
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.119
<v Speaker 2>T E X A N, feel free to give me

1065
00:59:55.159 --> 00:59:57.400
<v Speaker 2>all the kudos that you want. I didn't really do

1066
00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.480
<v Speaker 2>much about it. There was a company based in Houston

1067
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.679
<v Speaker 2>cled Downs with a Z. They are the ones who

1068
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:06.079
<v Speaker 2>helped me put it together. The leader of the pack

1069
01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>who runs that company, I've known him for quite a while.

1070
01:00:08.519 --> 01:00:11.079
<v Speaker 2>His name is Steve Winter. Not only do they do

1071
01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>website development, but really big indeed search engine optimization, making

1072
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>sure your business, small business meetium business can be found

1073
01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:21.400
<v Speaker 2>on the Internet, which helps your business in the long run.

1074
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.119
<v Speaker 2>They do so much and I check in with Steve

1075
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:26.519
<v Speaker 2>every few months to see what is up in the world.

1076
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>And I am going to bring him in right now,

1077
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Steve before I say, Hi, is this you or is

1078
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:33.599
<v Speaker 2>this an AI bot I'm talking to?

1079
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:36.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, we'll just have to see how we answer those questions.

1080
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:38.239
<v Speaker 5>If you can tell the difference or not.

1081
01:00:38.719 --> 01:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Should I phrase that in the form of a question

1082
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:44.360
<v Speaker 2>like jeopardy? Oooh, man, I tell you it is. I'm

1083
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>not going to use the word scary.

1084
01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:45.639
<v Speaker 5>Steve.

1085
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Listen, you and I have been talking a few times

1086
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the past month. I just got back from the Consumer

1087
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Electronics Show. Every company out there had the letters AI

1088
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>involved with everything, the products, the phones and whatever. I

1089
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>was thinking. You know, you guys are the kings of

1090
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Search engine optimization. You helped so many companies. Has AI

1091
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:09.239
<v Speaker 2>infiltrated your world your business yet to see if it

1092
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:11.199
<v Speaker 2>has affected for the better for the worst for you guys?

1093
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:14.079
<v Speaker 5>Oh one hundred percent. I mean, AI is everywhere, right.

1094
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:16.199
<v Speaker 5>You know, we were at the sphere in Vegas and

1095
01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:19.400
<v Speaker 5>you got the AI robots and you know, the whatever

1096
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:23.559
<v Speaker 5>they're called there. It's crazy what it's doing. But you know,

1097
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:26.559
<v Speaker 5>when when we asked the question, what's happening in twenty

1098
01:01:26.639 --> 01:01:29.639
<v Speaker 5>twenty five and all that, and then is SEO changed?

1099
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:34.599
<v Speaker 5>You know, in many ways, SEO is still in the

1100
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:38.519
<v Speaker 5>fundamentals of you've got to do it right technically. You've

1101
01:01:38.639 --> 01:01:41.599
<v Speaker 5>really got to set the website up right and and

1102
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:44.840
<v Speaker 5>and all, and then you've got to also have all

1103
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:47.760
<v Speaker 5>the internal linking and backlinks and things like that. So

1104
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:50.679
<v Speaker 5>there's still a lot of work that we're doing. But

1105
01:01:50.800 --> 01:01:54.119
<v Speaker 5>AI has fundamentally shifted a lot of things. You know,

1106
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:57.119
<v Speaker 5>there there were companies that would develop content for us

1107
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:00.360
<v Speaker 5>and all that and help write content for webs sites

1108
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:03.159
<v Speaker 5>because you know, it took a long time to write content.

1109
01:02:03.880 --> 01:02:06.360
<v Speaker 5>I don't think there are too many content writer jobs

1110
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:07.639
<v Speaker 5>out there as much anymore.

1111
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yeah, you got a point. I'm going to

1112
01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:12.440
<v Speaker 2>go back to Wooden. You and I and your team

1113
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>sat down to and we're going to redo my entire website.

1114
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I went through a top to bottom. You guys just

1115
01:02:19.000 --> 01:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>do a phenomenal assessment of what are my business goals?

1116
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>What do I want to do? And then when it

1117
01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>comes down, you do need copy written on your website.

1118
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:29.519
<v Speaker 2>You need to say about us and who's the leadership

1119
01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:32.159
<v Speaker 2>and what's the goal. You know, I can write pretty well,

1120
01:02:32.599 --> 01:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to. I got other stuff to do.

1121
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:37.079
<v Speaker 2>And I know you had some copywriters. But it is

1122
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>amazing what that AI can do to really not only

1123
01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>help it, but speed things up too. And so there

1124
01:02:43.159 --> 01:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>must be certain aspects of your job that of your company.

1125
01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:48.559
<v Speaker 2>The AI is helping, well, it is, but but you

1126
01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:51.079
<v Speaker 2>what we cannot do, and it's and it is.

1127
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:53.639
<v Speaker 5>It is amazing as we've all gotten used to it.

1128
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:57.239
<v Speaker 5>You know, if you see AI written content, you know

1129
01:02:57.320 --> 01:03:01.639
<v Speaker 5>it's AI written content. We have to everyone uses it.

1130
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:05.639
<v Speaker 5>It helps us get what we need fundamentally started. But

1131
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:09.360
<v Speaker 5>we have to de AI it right because Google knows

1132
01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:12.000
<v Speaker 5>and it's amazing what their bots can do and all that.

1133
01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:16.440
<v Speaker 5>They don't like AI content. They want good original content

1134
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:19.320
<v Speaker 5>and our clients want good content. And the one thing

1135
01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:22.920
<v Speaker 5>that we've learned about AI, if you ask it a question,

1136
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:25.000
<v Speaker 5>it's going to give you an answer. It may not

1137
01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:27.679
<v Speaker 5>be right at all, but it's going to come back

1138
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:30.599
<v Speaker 5>with an answer. And so for those reasons, you know,

1139
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:33.559
<v Speaker 5>we really do have to pay attention to what's going

1140
01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:35.960
<v Speaker 5>on out there and where you do and don't use

1141
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:39.920
<v Speaker 5>AI and all. But you know, now it used to

1142
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:42.440
<v Speaker 5>be that content was king and the fact that if

1143
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.239
<v Speaker 5>the competitor had four thousand words, you'd write five thousand

1144
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:49.559
<v Speaker 5>words or whatever. Now everyone can write content until the

1145
01:03:49.599 --> 01:03:53.400
<v Speaker 5>cows come home. So now it's actually reverting back a

1146
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:58.280
<v Speaker 5>little bit. It's really well written succinct content, well written

1147
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:01.920
<v Speaker 5>succinct titles, well written succinct h ones.

1148
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And also we're.

1149
01:04:04.440 --> 01:04:06.639
<v Speaker 5>Writing, you know what, the good news is, we're writing

1150
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:08.760
<v Speaker 5>less and better content for a lot of what we're

1151
01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:11.840
<v Speaker 5>doing today from an AI perspective, and you know, Google's

1152
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:13.880
<v Speaker 5>doing its best, right. They want to keep you if

1153
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:16.360
<v Speaker 5>in Google still the gorilla, they want to keep you

1154
01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:18.320
<v Speaker 5>on their home page and their results page, and so

1155
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:21.039
<v Speaker 5>they'll bring back AI answers. But a lot of the

1156
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:25.360
<v Speaker 5>AI answer and stuff is more informational, right, it's not transactional,

1157
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:28.119
<v Speaker 5>and it's not commercial. So if you're looking to buy

1158
01:04:28.239 --> 01:04:32.119
<v Speaker 5>a good or a service, you know, AI is not

1159
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:35.119
<v Speaker 5>necessarily bringing back that result and it's like, you know,

1160
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:36.400
<v Speaker 5>there are a lot of times when I go and

1161
01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:38.400
<v Speaker 5>look for stuff, I look on YouTube because there's great

1162
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:42.079
<v Speaker 5>instructional videos and things like that out there. If I'm

1163
01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:44.280
<v Speaker 5>trying to sell a product or a service. You know,

1164
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.320
<v Speaker 5>it was fun. I just had a friend of mine

1165
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:49.280
<v Speaker 5>call me today. One of the guys in my breast

1166
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:52.760
<v Speaker 5>club owns a commercial HVAC business. I said, man, how

1167
01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:56.280
<v Speaker 5>are things going? He goes, he Lord, he goes too good,

1168
01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:58.719
<v Speaker 5>He goes, Really, my concern is is how I afford

1169
01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:01.800
<v Speaker 5>payroll right now because we are so busy. He goes,

1170
01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:04.400
<v Speaker 5>I just I can't thank you guys enough. You all

1171
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:07.559
<v Speaker 5>have absolutely killed us, you know, killed it for us,

1172
01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:10.440
<v Speaker 5>and we get so much business now. My ideal is

1173
01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:12.280
<v Speaker 5>just being able to fund payroll. And I said, well,

1174

1180
01:05:30.079 --> 01:05:32.239
<v Speaker 2>give you an assessment to see how they could do it.

1181
01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>And they really do work quick. You're right about the

1182
01:05:34.920 --> 01:05:37.119
<v Speaker 2>AI stuff, because you know, you know, Steve, I've done this.

1183
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I have a certain style of speaking. I try to

1184
01:05:40.480 --> 01:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>use wit, a little humor, and I try to convert

1185
01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:45.679
<v Speaker 2>that when I write. I don't love writing, but when

1186
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:48.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm writing, I don't want to sound like I've never

1187
01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted to sound like a bot or a computer, and

1188
01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:52.079
<v Speaker 2>so I try to write the way I speak. AI

1189
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>is not there yet. It's trying to learn what I'm doing.

1190
01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:58.239
<v Speaker 2>And when Michael Garfield wipes in, uh, you know, three

1191
01:05:58.320 --> 01:06:00.239
<v Speaker 2>or four times I've tried to have it write some thing.

1192
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:04.039
<v Speaker 2>It'll say, is this okay? I will say, punch it up,

1193
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:06.119
<v Speaker 2>make a little bit more humors or whatever it is.

1194
01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, whatever it spits out,

1195
01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I have to edit it. I have to go in

1196
01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:12.679
<v Speaker 2>and edit it. And we are at that stage for

1197
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I think a while, because listen, it's only been around

1198
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:18.559
<v Speaker 2>for a heartbeat, and you know, humans have been around

1199
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>for a long, long long time. It's just learning. It

1200
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:22.679
<v Speaker 2>has to continue to learn. So until then, you know,

1201
01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it's just better.

1202
01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:26.920
<v Speaker 5>It is machine learning. But it is fascinating. I mean

1203
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:30.079
<v Speaker 5>how quickly it can do things. I was working with

1204
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:33.559
<v Speaker 5>a friend's resume of my son and and ask him

1205
01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:35.360
<v Speaker 5>some questions and give me answers and I can put

1206
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:37.800
<v Speaker 5>it in a chat DVD. I said, please add these answers,

1207
01:06:37.840 --> 01:06:40.440
<v Speaker 5>all these questions to this resume, and I mean literally

1208
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:42.679
<v Speaker 5>in two seconds it came back. But I then spent

1209
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:46.039
<v Speaker 5>thirty minutes making it great. But it would have taken

1210
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:49.000
<v Speaker 5>me three hours to do what I did in thirty minutes.

1211
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, but AI is, you know, it is changing

1212
01:06:52.719 --> 01:06:55.239
<v Speaker 5>the world. There is no doubt about it. You know

1213
01:06:55.320 --> 01:06:58.440
<v Speaker 5>from chatbots and how it learns and and you know,

1214
01:06:59.119 --> 01:07:01.039
<v Speaker 5>you know the call centers of the world and all that.

1215
01:07:01.159 --> 01:07:03.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, all of this stuff right is getting automated,

1216
01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:07.159
<v Speaker 5>and AI is getting smart. Websites will continue to get

1217
01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.119
<v Speaker 5>smarter and bring back different results based on the audience

1218
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:14.960
<v Speaker 5>and all. It's going to continue to evolve considerably in

1219
01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:16.880
<v Speaker 5>what's going on. But that's what we're here to do.

1220
01:07:16.960 --> 01:07:20.519
<v Speaker 5>We're here, you know, I'm not I've never been bleeding

1221
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:23.920
<v Speaker 5>edge and tried to be the inventor. That's why I'm

1222
01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:26.480
<v Speaker 5>not worth billions of dollars. But we try to stay

1223
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:29.320
<v Speaker 5>right in the stream and learn and figure out where

1224
01:07:29.440 --> 01:07:32.159
<v Speaker 5>the technology is going. And all that and then bringing

1225
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:33.360
<v Speaker 5>our clients along with us.

1226
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I've seen your house and your golf club and your cars.

1227
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>I may have to test about the billion Actually I'm

01:07:38.639 --> 01:07:40.280
<v Speaker 2>gonnask Ai, a Steve Winter billionaire.

1229
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah no, yeah, it'll say no, not this Steam winner anyway.

1230
01:07:44.360 --> 01:07:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, this Steve Winner. Right. Listen, I appreciate time

1231
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>listening for anybody out there. I know we're now in

1232
01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:52.639
<v Speaker 2>some different cities across the state of Texas. The neat

1233
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:54.440
<v Speaker 2>thing about the Internet and what you do, you don't

1234
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:56.519
<v Speaker 2>need to physically be in the same city as you.

1235
01:07:56.599 --> 01:07:58.679
<v Speaker 2>You work with companies all over the country. If anybody

1236

01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Texting Show, don't go to where we are going to

1265
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:49.520
<v Speaker 2>be right back, I know segments of this weekend show,

1266
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>The High Tech Textan Show. Thanks for hanging in there.

1267
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I bet you're ready for the big game. If you

1268
01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>make something special. What are you guys eating? You doing

1269
01:09:56.600 --> 01:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a little wings, a little seven layered dip where you

1270
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you go send me a photo, pop me a photo.

1271

<v Speaker 2>Just add it to my high tech texts and you

1272
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:06.920
<v Speaker 2>can go to Twitter x account high tech texts and

1273
01:10:07.079 --> 01:10:09.439
<v Speaker 2>hi g h T E c h T E x

1274
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:12.560
<v Speaker 2>A N. That's the link where I already I blew

1275
01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:15.159
<v Speaker 2>the lead. Really, I put a link to for all

1276
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.479
<v Speaker 2>most all of the commercials that you'll see in the

1277
01:10:17.560 --> 01:10:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Big Game, and we could talk about those next week. Hey, listen,

1278
01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:23.199
<v Speaker 2>for seven or eight million dollars, you better pay attention

1279
01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>of what they're trying to pimp. You're gonna buy some

1280
01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>of those. I don't know a lot of car commercials

1281
01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:30.199
<v Speaker 2>right there. Oh, by the way, speaking of car reviews,

1282
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:34.279
<v Speaker 2>better bury the lead over here. What's Michael driving this week?

1283
01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:36.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, every single week I get to drive in

1284
01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>a in a pretty pretty cool vehicle. Be it's not paid,

1285
01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:44.199
<v Speaker 2>it's it's directly from the manufacturer. I don't deal with dealerships.

1286
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:46.880
<v Speaker 2>This past week, I was rolling around in the all

1287
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>new twenty twenty five Nissan Kicks had a smaller vehicle

1288
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:57.159
<v Speaker 2>in the compact crossover segment and I've always been a

1289
01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Nissan fan. I remember I was driving one of the Kicks.

1290
01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I think I was down in Miami and they gave

1291
01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:06.439
<v Speaker 2>us a Kicks to drive from Miami all the way

1292
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:08.359
<v Speaker 2>down to the Keys and that was kind of fun.

1293
01:11:08.479 --> 01:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>But it seems to me that it's gotten a little larger.

1294
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:16.800
<v Speaker 2>It's a four door vehicle, really nice technology inside, kind

1295
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of a street smart designed, very versatile, and there's some

1296
01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:25.399
<v Speaker 2>neat options over there. Nissan OI does a great job

1297
01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:30.079
<v Speaker 2>with its intelligent all wheel drive. That's some tech right there.

1298
01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>It gives you some gives you confidence and control of

1299
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:36.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of different weather conditions, some road services. If

1300
01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:39.279
<v Speaker 2>you're going through snow, which we actually got some in

1301
01:11:39.359 --> 01:11:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Houston a few weeks ago, it gives you some added

1302
01:11:43.479 --> 01:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I guess, peace of mind. Good ground clearance.

1303
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Got just about eight point four inches of ground clearance

1304
01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:55.479
<v Speaker 2>drives up. I like the impression. The design is cool,

1305
01:11:56.439 --> 01:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe for the younger set, very bold, kind of got

1306
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:06.359
<v Speaker 2>a why stance, good fenders. It's a little boxy maybe

1307
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:10.079
<v Speaker 2>with the lower half, but overall it's clean and it's modern.

1308
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I like it sit inside dashboard, dual screen setup. You've

1309
01:12:14.199 --> 01:12:16.560
<v Speaker 2>got one, there's your instrument cluster, which is what you

1310
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>look at right through this deering wheel, and there's the

1311
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>infotainment system. Infotainment system is pretty good. It's got about

1312
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:26.239
<v Speaker 2>about the standard measure. It's about seve to seven inches

1313
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:30.479
<v Speaker 2>the Kicks SR that's an upgraded that's about a twelve

1314
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:34.319
<v Speaker 2>point three inch two display models. So there's different versions

1315
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:37.800
<v Speaker 2>you can get into. They've got two roses seats. I

1316
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:39.960
<v Speaker 2>like the seats. Nissign's got what they call their zero

1317
01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:43.159
<v Speaker 2>gravity seats, you know, being in Houston, NASA seats or whatever.

1318
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Very comfortable seats distributes the weights in your pressure. So

1319
01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:48.680
<v Speaker 2>if you have long rides, like I drive from Houston

1320
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:50.920
<v Speaker 2>to Dallas to see my folks Houston Austin. You know,

1321
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I go up there a lot totally. It's no fatigue.

1322
01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I like it a lot. Really nice panoramic moonroof gives you,

1323
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:01.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, always I don't drive with the moon roof

1324
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:02.680
<v Speaker 2>for the sun roof open a lot. I did in

1325
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:06.079
<v Speaker 2>this one. To me, if you're in a relatively smaller car,

1326
01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:08.680
<v Speaker 2>if you're not in a massive big suv, sometimes it

1327
01:13:08.760 --> 01:13:11.319
<v Speaker 2>opens it up when you bring it in some additional light.

1328
01:13:11.439 --> 01:13:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I do like this moon roof over here too good comfort.

1329
01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I like the cargo space. I actually drove it because

1330
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:21.319
<v Speaker 2>I was dry for one of my little birthday swarrays.

1331
01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I had to actually had to schlep some a number

1332
01:13:24.199 --> 01:13:27.239
<v Speaker 2>of different things, some cases of liquor which don't drink

1333
01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and drive folks. Cargo space is good. I put that

1334
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>second row down, really got a good amount of space

1335
01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:36.079
<v Speaker 2>in the back. They've got a Kicks S at, a

1336
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Kicks SV along with that Kicks SR, so they've got

1337
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:45.319
<v Speaker 2>different versions of that two point zero Leader inline four engine.

1338
01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:48.279
<v Speaker 2>It comes in about one hundred and forty one horse power.

1339
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:51.119
<v Speaker 2>On the surface, you'll look at that number, not the

1340
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>biggest number with horsepower, but it's a relatively small and

1341
01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:55.880
<v Speaker 2>light car. So if you combine it with the two

1342
01:13:55.920 --> 01:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>point zero Leader in line four, it does have some

1343
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:03.159
<v Speaker 2>good get up and go an extronic transmission, all right,

1344
01:14:03.199 --> 01:14:06.039
<v Speaker 2>So it' Scott again. Three levels, the S the SVDSR

1345
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:10.319
<v Speaker 2>two available premium packages. So you can configure this most

1346
01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>any way you want, right and now who wants the price?

1347
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Tell you what? Listen to this. I happen to be

1348
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:23.399
<v Speaker 2>in the Nissan Kicks SR. Who is the front wheel

1349
01:14:23.479 --> 01:14:28.079
<v Speaker 2>drive the MSRP right it twenty set. What is get

1350
01:14:28.119 --> 01:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>some glasses twenty eight thousand dollars or so totally? I

1351
01:14:33.039 --> 01:14:35.840
<v Speaker 2>drove it totally with all the options premium package right

1352
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>at thirty thousand people. I'll tell you what. It's relatively

1353
01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:41.319
<v Speaker 2>tough to find a decent vehicle for thirty thousand dollars

1354
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.239
<v Speaker 2>or less. Definitely it. Listen, who is this for? If

1355
01:14:45.319 --> 01:14:50.119
<v Speaker 2>you have teenagers who are relatively tall, you schlep into soccer,

1356
01:14:50.199 --> 01:14:51.439
<v Speaker 2>you have a lot of gear, and you have to

1357
01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:53.159
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of car pools. I don't know, this

1358
01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>may be a little small if you've got smaller kids.

1359
01:14:56.039 --> 01:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I would say it's pretty easy to get a car

1360
01:14:58.119 --> 01:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>seat in the back. Just starting out. You want to

1361
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:05.079
<v Speaker 2>watch the amount of money that you pay it still,

1362
01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, gives you kind of the sexiness of the

1363
01:15:07.720 --> 01:15:11.079
<v Speaker 2>hip hop happiness of your youth. Yeah, take a look

1364
01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty five Nissan Kicks. Big time Nissan Kicks fan.

1365
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you to Steve Parrott Alba with Prestige Otto for

1366
01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:19.359
<v Speaker 2>letting me drive that and go check it out every week.

1367
01:15:19.399 --> 01:15:22.399
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly what I do. I rate and I review

1368
01:15:22.560 --> 01:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>of vehicles and so very happy with that one. Not

1369
01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:27.479
<v Speaker 2>going to give out the phone number because we are

1370
01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.520
<v Speaker 2>almost out of here. Let's see if we can go.

1371
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:33.119
<v Speaker 2>People want my predictions for the Big Game. Told you

1372
01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I am in a square pool. I really don't care

1373
01:15:37.399 --> 01:15:37.800
<v Speaker 2>who win.

1374
01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, I.

1375
01:15:40.159 --> 01:15:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Don't want Philadelphia to win. As a longtime lifetime Dallas

1376
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Cowboy fan, I do not want to see Philadelphia winning it.

1377
01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:49.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind Kansas City too much. I mean, yeah,

1378
01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting a little sick of him, but I like

1379
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes. He's a great kid. He's a Texas boy,

1380
01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:59.880
<v Speaker 2>went to Texas Tech. Might as well just have they went.

1381
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm rooting for my square pool to win. I'm in

1382
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>a four hundred dollars per square square pool. Each quarter

1383
01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the winner gets ten thousand dollars. So I think my

1384
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:11.119
<v Speaker 2>numbers are seven and nine, and I don't know which

1385
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>is which. Believe me, let me let me help you out.

1386
01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:18.560
<v Speaker 2>If I win, that will be my first words on

1387
01:16:18.680 --> 01:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>my show next week. And yes, I will even if

1388
01:16:20.760 --> 01:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I win ten thousand. If I win all four quarters

1389
01:16:23.000 --> 01:16:26.159
<v Speaker 2>of forty thousand dollars, my dedication to you. After twenty

1390
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:29.640
<v Speaker 2>plus years, I'm still gonna be here. Nope, you can't

1391
01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>retire on forty thousand dollars, even if the government don't

1392
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:36.199
<v Speaker 2>know about it. Get so wherever you're watching the game,

1393
01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:38.640
<v Speaker 2>and all the advice I've given, and I did get

1394
01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>some emails going, hey, Michael, tell me again, what's the

1395
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>best way to watch it? What was the name of

1396
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the free streaming app? It's called two B by the

1397
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>way to UBI, which is on by Fox. It is

1398
01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>on Fox. If you have a chance to actually check

1399
01:16:50.720 --> 01:16:53.279
<v Speaker 2>it out. If you're using an over the air antenna

1400
01:16:53.399 --> 01:16:56.239
<v Speaker 2>versus cable, you're going to thank me and appreciate the

1401
01:16:56.319 --> 01:17:01.159
<v Speaker 2>better the better video quality. Because you're local Fox affiliate,

1402
01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>they are by they are governed. There is a law

1403
01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:07.279
<v Speaker 2>that all local television stations they do have to be

1404
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>broadcasting a digital signal. And digital signals most always are

1405
01:17:10.439 --> 01:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>better than the compressed cable signals. And so I hope

1406
01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:16.239
<v Speaker 2>you do have a good time watching that. I do

1407
01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:18.479
<v Speaker 2>want to thank some my guests. Thank you again. Aj.
