00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>for you in the tech world that you may enjoy.

23
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>For those of you in Austin who happened to see

24
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 2>my weekly tech segment on Fox seven, I was on

25
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>set showing off of a few beauty products. It's some

26
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>other interesting ideas. I can tell you where to go,

27
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>where to shop, and also how to really cheat in

28
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>terms of let's go online and give mom an e

29
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 2>gift card. We've got that. Also, I'm going to talk

30
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 2>about what the stock up on regarding potential price hikes

31
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>due to the tariff wars. Can we actually say that

32
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>there are tariff wars going on right now? There is tariffs,

33
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>there's the threat of tariffs, and I think the biggest

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>question that I am being halted with right now certainly

35
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>what's happening with computers and laptops, graduation, presidents at presidents, cars,

36
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.719
<v Speaker 2>things that I all of these things. It will fit

37
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 2>into the consumer lifestyle category that I do review and

38
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I do recommend. Yes, it seems that most everything is

39
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and potentially can be raised. So there are things that

40
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>you may want to hoard or stock up on. I

41
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>will get to that. Also. Hope Francis may he rest

42
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>in peace. Just saw that he bequeathed his Popemobile. I

43
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>do review cars on a weekly basis. That is one

44
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>vehicle I never had the opportunity to drive. I'll tell

45
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you a little bit about that. And also a question

46
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>that I like. We we're going to play a little game.

47
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>What if you were bequeathed any car, any vehicle that

48
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>is famous, what would it be? Would it be the popemobile?

49
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Pretty cool? I think I heard the popemobil has There

50
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>were several popemcveils, one of which was an ev I've

51
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>got my answers. And also, we are mourning the death

52
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>of another technology service that over the years we just

53
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>have used and used and used. No one has seen

54
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>to have used it, and it actually went dark. We

55
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 2>say bye bye this past week. I will give you

56
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the phone numbers should you do want to call in,

57
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>ask some questions, share with me some of your better

<v Speaker 2>e x A N So no matter where you are

62
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>listening terrestrially, be it in Houston on KPRC nine fifty,

63
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio. What's up? San Antonio News Radio twelve hundred

64
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 2>WOAI and in Dallas Talk Radio eleven ninety that I

65
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of hope my parents really aren't listening right now,

66
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>because my mom may be listening to some Mother's Day

67
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>gift that hasn't arrived yet. So you mad, you know,

68
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.519
<v Speaker 2>if you're listening Susan Garfield up in Big d maybe

69
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>you want to turn this off because she actually I

70
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>was talking to her. Was it this week or last week?

71
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm very proud of them because they generally well number

72
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>one for twenty plus years. My radio show is only

73
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>had only been aired on air in Houston on k

74
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>PERC nine to fifty am. And they live up in Dallas,

75
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>and so they would have to listen online, which they can.

76
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>They have to sit at their computer or they would

77
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>have to download the iHeartRadio app. She now tells me

78
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>that she talks to either Google or her Alexa and

79
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>just says, hey, wake up, ord whatever it is, listen

80
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>to Talk eleven ninety Dallas on iHeart Radio. You can

81
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>do that right now as you walk around the house.

82
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>So talk to your smart speaker, just say hey instead

83
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 2>of listening to the radio, or if you're driving right now,

84
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>listening to me. You can get home and instead of

85
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>downloading the iHeart Radio app, which we would like if

86
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>for you to do, you can just say hey, blank blank,

87
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying it because I don't want to

88
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>wake up all your devices. Listen to KPRC nine to

89
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>fifty am on iHeart Radio, listen to news Radio twelve

90
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred on iHeart Radio, and then it'll start playing amazing.

91
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>So technology has infiltrated every generation that I can think

92
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>of Mother's Day some of the things, one of which

93
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>is moms and females over the years when they come

94
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>up and ask me what's the cool device, or if

95
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>they see me using one particular advice that I have

96
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>used over the past few years, that they just seem

97
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>to be, oh, this is so cool, I want one

98
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of these. They love flip phones. I like flip phone.

99
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 2>And to be sure, if you're an iPhone user, sucks

100
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>for you because iPhone does not make a flip phone.

101
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even know if I even want to

102
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.319
<v Speaker 2>use the word yet. Who knows what they're going to do.

103
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I am an Android guy. Samsung is already on their

104
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>sixth generation of their Galaxy Z flip phone, Motorola makes

105
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>a flip phone. Yes, there's foldable phones too, but flip

106
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>phones are very compact. And if you close your eyes

107
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>and I am going to try to describe what a

108
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>flip phone is, ladies, do you know what a compact is? Right?

109
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>And I do this because I remember my grandmother every

110
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>time we went out to dinner. At the end to dinner,

111
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>she would always open her purse very proper wating, she

112
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>would take out her compact. And what it has on

113
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the top of it. It's a clamshell device like the

114
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>old clamshell phones. And it's got the mirror on top.

115
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.759
<v Speaker 2>So you think she could look at her blips and

116
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>redo her powder, lipstick or whatever. It's a cop that

117
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 2>that is the RM factor exactly what a flip phone is.

118
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So they are small and they fold out to become

119
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a full size regular six and a half inch diagonal

120
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>screen roughly of an actual phone that most people use,

121
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>the candy bar size phone. Why not make something small

122
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>that fits in a little, tiny black purse when the

123
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 2>girls are going out on a Friday night. Flip phones

124
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>are cool, they work well. I like them a lot.

125
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I am a big form factor person. I don't have

126
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>the I don't carry my phone in a leather belt

127
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>holster like I think my father still does that. We

128
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>used to when we first got phones, and it's like

129
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>it looks like it's a pistol. You know, you're in

130
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>needed a license to carry a phone. I generally keep

131
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>it in my pocket and I wear jeans. I wear

132
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>all these you know at leisure type of you know pants,

133
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>stretchy pants from you know, built or fablet X that

134
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.079
<v Speaker 2>you can they're kind of snug but they're stretchable. But

135
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>you could see where there's a phone in there. A

136
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 2>phone in your pocket? Are you happy to see me?

137
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes like keep in the back pocket. It's much easier

138
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 2>when you have a smaller device, a smaller phone. They're

139
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>just they're lighter. So anyway, flip phones. That's one thing

140
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>that you potentially can get convinced mom to get into.

141
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I also when I was on I did my Fox

142
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 2>seventh video in Austin. If you saw this, beauty in

143
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>cosmetic technology continues to impress me too. I was sent

144
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>a few different products from a company, a Chinese Chinese

145
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>based company called you like Oh you like E? Yes,

146
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you do like E. But it's the letter you l

147
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I K E dot com. They send me two devices,

148
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 2>one of which is a handheld hair removal device. Now

149
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 2>hold on standby. When I say hair, I'm not talking

150
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.240
<v Speaker 2>really about the hair on your head, but the hair

151
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>on your arms, the hair ladies under your armpits, the

152
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>hair on your legs, you know, because people want rare,

153
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 2>so it zaps your hair. This is a nice one.

154
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 2>They sent me a unit, and this is not that cheap.

155
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>It's about three hundred and fifty four hundred bones and

156
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 2>it's an IPL and so it uses laser light flashes

157
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 2>of light that if you use it three times a

158
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.799
<v Speaker 2>week or so over the first four weeks or month,

159
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it is supposed to totally remove that you'll never hair

160
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 2>be gone. So you could do this at home. One

161
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>other one that I've actually been using myself, and I

162
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it, but it's an LED light therapy mask.

163
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>And the mask itselfs that you put it right and

164
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>it just smothers your face then smother you really, but

165
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>it looks like Iron Man and it has LED This

166
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>one has hundreds and hundreds of LED lights and you

167
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>wear this thing for six, seven, eight minutes at a time,

168
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and these LED lights are supposed to help with blemishes

169
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and your acne and tighten up your face. Those are

170
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:50.960
<v Speaker 2>interesting too. They both come from this. You like things,

171
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and so the point is, don't sleep with the fact

172
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 2>that there are cosmetic things that women love, moms live,

173
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>that they can use at home. And so go up

174
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and take a look at some of those things. I'll

175
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 2>leave it at that. We have our first break right now.

176
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Coming up phone numbers, I will get your questions and

177
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 2>calls three four, six, twenty nine texts and and up next,

178
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.399
<v Speaker 2>what the stock up on If you're scared that prices

179
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 2>are going to escalate with these tariffs, I'll give you

180
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>a few of the low hanging friths that you maybe

181
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you're run out by right now. It's Michael Garkoff, the

182
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>High Tech Texting Show. Not yet, people were not giving

183
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>away anything yet standby. Apparently I do appreciate everybody reading

184
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 2>MYMX dot com account, formerly noticed Twitter, my Instagram. I

185
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of, you know, was teasing you guys, going, hey,

186
00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>we got some few things to give away. Got a

187
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>fifty dollars our gift card to Red River Cantina, Happy

188
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Laid by the Way, Cinco de Mayo. I went there

189
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.639
<v Speaker 2>for Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, by the way. Well,

190
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>and I used to think Cinco de Mayo was a

191
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>made up, a made up holiday. Actually, I don't even

192
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 2>know if it was a holiday. I thought it was

193
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the beer companies and the tequila companies that got together.

194
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>But it actually it did mean something. It celebrates the

195
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Mexican Army's victory over the Second French Empire at the

196
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Battle of Puebla back in eighteen sixty two May fifth,

197
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>eighteen sixty two. So in celebration of the wonderful I

198
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 2>bet that was that. What that was was that televised,

199
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:45.279
<v Speaker 2>was that on ESPN two, the Mexican Army's victory over

200
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>that Second French Empire Battle of Peblo. I definitely had

201
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 2>a a sortvezza or two at the Red River Cantina

202
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 2>two locations, one down what on the in Richmond, Texas,

203
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 2>which is on the west side of Houston off of

204
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the Grand Parkway ninety nine and Harlem Road. That's where

205
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I was and went down in League City. Man, that's

206
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a big outfit outdoor patios Red River Cantinas, So I

207
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>thank to Shane Swope has doing it. He's the general

208
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>manager at the one on the west side. I got

209
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>a fifty dollars red River Cantina, so stand by, we

210
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 2>will give that away here soon. Michael Garfield is the name,

211
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 2>and he didn't notice note that prices have yet to

212
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.480
<v Speaker 2>be raised at red River or any of it. I

213
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't eat at a ton of restaurants. Really

214
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>has anybody noticed the price going up? And are you

215
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:43.279
<v Speaker 2>blaming the tariffs? Are you blaming the government for already

216
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>raising the price of I don't know, avocados, hot sauce, tortillas, lettuce,

217
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>toilet paper or whatever it is. I don't know, but

218
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I do cover this industry. And the fact is I

219
00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>just returned from a trip to China speak with a

220
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 2>meeting with Chinese based technology companies on their thoughts of

221
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>what they think the tariffs, at least in the short term,

222
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.159
<v Speaker 2>but also sometimes in the long term. Can what's it

223
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna do for their businesses? And they the sound bites

224
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and I sat down. I mean, I got a really

225
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>really nice conversation at length with the CEO of Lexar.

226
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Alexar is the company that makes a lot of the

227
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 2>internal storage drives, the little tiny storage cards that you

228
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>put in that there are in phones that you put

229
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 2>in cameras. Lexar nice gentlemen. Ryan Lee is his name,

230
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and relatively young guy too, and he gave me some

231
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>lengthy conversations, very frank that in the short term he

232
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>believes that he could help business because people are stocking

233
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 2>up on things that they think they may need before

234
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.360
<v Speaker 2>prices go up. The longer term, over the next six

235
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 2>months year that at the tariffs do continue the China

236
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and forty five percent currently right now, how

237
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that could hurt their business and hurt the economy, the

238
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.039
<v Speaker 2>lifestyle everything. It's I don't know, are there any winners

239
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 2>in this right now? So trying to keep the politics

240
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>out of it, but it is politics, there's no matter

241
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 2>how you cut it down. And right now Trump has

242
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>paused reciprocal tariffs, but they're set to expire in July.

243
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 2>So businesses they've been scrambling to ensure that they have

244
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>enough product in stock before these double digit tariffs take effect.

245
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And after that stock runs out, companies are going to

246
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 2>need to pay more for products made outside the US,

247
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and those costs almost definitely going to get passed along

248
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 2>to us the consumers. Tariffs on goods from China they're

249
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 2>already hitting Chinese total tariff rate currently one hundred and

250
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>forty five percent, and price it's for some products they've

251
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 2>already risen as much as three hundred and seventy seven percent.

252
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.799
<v Speaker 2>I saw that there is hitchen towels. If you get

253
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.919
<v Speaker 2>him at how do you pronounce this? This online website

254
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Timo is one, but the Shine Shi n I don't

255
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.159
<v Speaker 2>shop on shot kitchen towels went from a buck twenty

256
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 2>eight to six dollars and ten cents. It's a three

257
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy seven percent increase. A meat shredder rose

258
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.639
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and nineteen percent. Timo, which is the Chinese

259
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.559
<v Speaker 2>e commerce company, they raised their right duds. So we're

260
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 2>seeing a lot of prices already rise. But what imports

261
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.720
<v Speaker 2>have companies already stocked up upon. Among the biggest hikes

262
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>in imports that companies are stocking up from number one

263
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.879
<v Speaker 2>is pharmaceutical goods. There was an increase of about twenty

264
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars in purchasing passenger cars, two billion dollars worth

265
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>of that in computer accessories another two billion dollars. Now

266
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.919
<v Speaker 2>some companies have they've already making the strategic moves to

267
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 2>avoid the worst of the triple digit tariffs on Chinese goods.

268
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>In March, Apple shipped about two billion dollars a month

269
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 2>of iPhones from India because they had a temporary twenty

270
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>six percent reciprocal tariff. So point is, what should you

271
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>stock up on. It's unclear wind prices could rise. It's

272
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>unclear on how much prices will rise. But experts warn

273
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna call myself an expert.

274
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Do not go out in what we call hannick. Buy,

275
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>don't handic, don't go out and panic. Buy a new

276
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.120
<v Speaker 2>got it, a who car, a new PC, a new

277
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>something that you fear tariffs are gonna hit in order

278
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to upgrade. Now, there is a difference between want in need.

279
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I have taught my three sons this over the years.

280
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Do you want something I want a lot of things

281
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 2>versus do you absolutely need this right now? If you

282
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>need something, you you have a car that is just

283
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 2>it's about to die because it's three hundred and fifty

284
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>thousand miles and you've got another kid coming and you

285
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>need more room and you need more safe Okay, gotcha?

286
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you want a new car because oh this is cool?

287
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Because it's got to know you know, a third you know,

288
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 2>a third row. Maybe it's got exit into the satellite radio.

289
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's got you know, it's it's a new technology

290
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 2>with the rear view camera. You just want it because

291
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.920
<v Speaker 2>your current car is good. Think about that want versus need.

292
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't panic by that's number one. But if you're already

293
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>planning to make a big purchase refrigerator, wash, your dryer, car,

294
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 2>you can make the purchase without going into debt. Now

295
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 2>in now, now could be a good time to buy things.

296
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 2>This trade deficit. Why does this trade deficit? And we

297
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 2>talked about this trade deficit. The trade deficit sword to

298
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 2>a record one hundred and forty billion dollars in March

299
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>because businesses tried to stock on these import shipments ahead

300
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>of these tariffs. Trade deficit means we're buying more goods

301
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:29.359
<v Speaker 2>from other countries than we're selling abroad. It's not necessarily

302
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.720
<v Speaker 2>a bad thing. If another country has the resources to

303
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>produce a product cheaper than we can produce it here,

304
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:39.759
<v Speaker 2>we can save money by buying an imported good. But

305
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:43.359
<v Speaker 2>these tariffs, these trade imbalances, I don't know, it's it

306
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 2>is tough. So if you want to call in. Are

307
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>you finding I antegochally? I'd love to hear from you.

308
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Three four six twenty nine. Texted it for some reason,

309
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>we don't pick up. He goes to voicemail. Leave a voicemail.

310
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 2>We have the right day error it online. I want

311
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to hear what you think. What have you seen that

312
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>prices have already gone up? And maybe food and maybe

313
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>clothing and maybe guards or whatever. Give me something specific.

314
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Michael is the name Michael Garfield. It is the high

315
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Tech textan show. When we come back. Oh my goodness,

316
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>another technology product and service has died. I can almost this.

317
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I guarantee you've used this over the past twenty years.

318
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 2>But it is gonzo. How much are you going to missus?

319
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:50.519
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk about that on the other side. Big shout

320
00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>out to the folks up in the Woodlands, Texas, and

321
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>congratulations to everybody who competed in Saturday mornings Woodlands Triathlon.

322
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Once again, Yes that was me. If you recognize the voice,

323
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 2>that was my real voice, not AI voice. I was

324
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:13.119
<v Speaker 2>the race announcer mc gosh. I have done that for eight, fifteen, sixteen,

325
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>seventeen years. Great folks the Woodlands, it's spout. We got

326
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.960
<v Speaker 2>about forty five minutes an hour north of Houston, but

327
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it attracted man a number of runners and bikers and

328
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 2>swimmers from all over the country, mostly in Texas, but

329
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>all over the country there do such a nice job.

330
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Weather was pretty good and I did not do it.

331
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a triathlete. I am a runner, and that's

332
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>why they enjoy hiring me to be the race announcer,

333
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>because I understand the concept of races, the mentality of

334
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the finish line, of hyping people up early in the

335
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>morning to get them started in whatever. But they know,

336
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>no way I am doing a triathlet will I have

337
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.519
<v Speaker 2>run ten marathons. For half marathons, I run probably four day,

338
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>five days a week. I'm there, man, But Big Daddy

339
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 2>does not swim, No, sir, does not happen. And I

340
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.359
<v Speaker 2>just recently about a year ago. I bike, but I

341
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 2>do a stationary bike. I have a peloton, just not

342
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a road bike. So I the respect man,

343
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Kudos men, women, and some of these kids. Man, these

344
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>kids are like thirteen years old. They were out there

345
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.799
<v Speaker 2>and they can kick my butt running. Love it that

346
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:30.200
<v Speaker 2>people are so just athletic and in shape, but just

347
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 2>getting any exercise, just any exercise. Just get out and

348
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 2>do it. Man, even just walk. And I'm happy that

349
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 2>I took up running thirty plus years ago. But you

350
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.559
<v Speaker 2>get out there and do something. So anyway, thanks for

351
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:43.000
<v Speaker 2>having me out there the woodlands. It's a really fun

352
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 2>seeing you. And now I still have a little voice left.

353
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 2>And it's my voice too, not my AI voice. Give

354
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.400
<v Speaker 2>me about Give me about fifteen minutes. Next segment, I'm

355
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.200
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about AI voices. There are some news

356
00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:00.680
<v Speaker 2>this week that it's very interesting because AI artificial and

357
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>tear intelligence. It can be a scary thing. It can

358
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>be useful. You see, I am of I am not

359
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the dude behind the microphone that says, oh my god,

360
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 2>you gotta be scared of AI. It's gonna take away jobs.

361
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960
<v Speaker 2>It's going to ruin the world. There are some processes

362
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:24.240
<v Speaker 2>that AI can greatly help you with. You may use

363
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 2>AI for a number of different things. Yes, AI can

364
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and has been cutting into people's jobs. Not happy about

365
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 2>that whatsoever, especially when it comes to people in the

366
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:42.319
<v Speaker 2>media and replicating voices and images. I'll have a story

367
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>about that in about fifteen minutes. In the meantime, we're

368
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.359
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about something right now that's very sad,

369
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 2>something that has gone away this past week in the

370
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.960
<v Speaker 2>world of technology. I'd like to take a few minutes

371
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 2>right now to give an obituary. Normally I would have

372
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 2>little background music. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today. However,

373
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.200
<v Speaker 2>we you are too cheap to actually pay the licensing

374
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 2>rights for any music, including friends. So dearly beloved, we

375
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>are indeed gathered here this day, this week to remember

376
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 2>our good friend, the service that kicked off the Jetsonian

377
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.680
<v Speaker 2>age of being able to talk and see somebody from

378
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:35.920
<v Speaker 2>around the world via your computer. We remember Skype. It

379
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>has been laid to rest, and it is indeed, with

380
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 2>mixed emotions and an ironic ring tone, that we announced

381
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>the passing of Skype. Aged twenty two, born in two

382
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 2>thousand and three, died twenty twenty five. Skype died peacefully

383
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>and a forgotten desktop folder under a pile of zoom icons.

384
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Dipe was once the golden child of Internet communication. In

385
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 2>its youth, it was the way to yell can you

386
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>hear me now at loved ones across continents while staring

387
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>at pixelated foreheads. It brought families together, ruined job interviews,

388
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and was the awkward third wheel in many long distance relationships,

389
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and its prime Skype had a promising future. It introduced

390
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>us to the beauty of buffering mid sentence and the

391
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>thrill of accidental video calls when you definitely weren't camera ready.

392
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft adopted Skype in twenty eleven, promising to raise it right,

393
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 2>but like many step parents with too many kids, the

394
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 2>love just wasn't the same. Skype was eventually overshadowed by sleeker, younger,

395
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>better dress competitors like Zoom, teams, FaceTime, Discord, and even

396
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>shouting through walls, and its final days, Skype spent most

397
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 2>of its time popping up uninvited, asking for updates no

398
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 2>one approved, and confusing boomers who just wanted to talk

399
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 2>to their grandkids. Skype has survived by vague nostalgia, a

400
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 2>few IT departments, and that one uncle who still insists

401
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Skype is just as good now. Memorial service will be

402
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:42.240
<v Speaker 2>held online on Zoom and lou of flowers. Mourners rassd

403
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>to mute themselves until called upon. Rest in pixels, Old friend,

404
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Rest in pixels, My my, my ma. Who use Skype,

405
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Raise your hand, put your hand down because you're driving

406
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:02.240
<v Speaker 2>right now, is anybody really upset that Skype has gone?

407
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Because who really used it? And it got me thinking,

408
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>guy was cool back in the day. And it started

409
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and three, a few years just after

410
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I created and I started my brand of the High

411
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Tech Texan, which I started in two thousand and one,

412
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 2>and I was, I was, I was on the Skype

413
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 2>pipe train. I was a skypepiper. Oh, this is the

414
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.160
<v Speaker 2>coolest thing.

415
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Man.

416
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.119
<v Speaker 2>You gotta go out and you gotta get a two

417
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars desktop computer. But make sure it's got a microphone.

418
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you can go out and also get one

419
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>of these add on you know, video cameras. And then

420
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.160
<v Speaker 2>on the other end, if your parents are in another city,

421
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>your grandkids are another city, you too can actually pretend

422
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 2>like you're George Jetson and you know, call your wife

423
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Jane from work and look at him. How cool is this.

424
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:51.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm never gonna pick up the phone again because I

425
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to pay long distance charges. Who I'm dating

426
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 2>myself with that one right there? I don't have to

427
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 2>use MCI or eight No, no, I'm calling for free

428
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 2>over voiceover Internet Protocol. That's what it was. VoIP it

429
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 2>was Skype. Baby. It was awesome until it really wasn't

430
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>awesome until things got more impressed, And sadly, it took COVID.

431
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>It took one of the world's most deadly outbreaks of

432
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a virus five years ago in twenty twenty for masses

433
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know what, we can't meet face to face,

434
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.279
<v Speaker 2>we can't travel. How can we see each other and

435
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 2>stay saying, well, you know what, my computer, my laptop

436
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.039
<v Speaker 2>has a built in camera. Yes I know I can FaceTime,

437
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and yes I know I can do Skype. Yes, but

438
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Zoom proliferated. Zoom, to be sure, was invented, was around

439
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.000
<v Speaker 2>before COVID, not too much longer, but it was. But

440
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:01.000
<v Speaker 2>somehow someway Zoom not the TV show on PBS that

441
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I grew up with in the nineteen seventies, but Zoom,

442
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the teleconferencing for lack of a better term, service, proliferated.

443
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 2>It's the go to. Yes, Microsoft teams try to come along,

444
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's still there. But now we can video chat

445
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 2>on our phones via WhatsApp. We could do it on Facebook,

446
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>we could do it so many different ways, but hey,

447
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you want to zoom. Zoom has become the word, it's

448
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:31.440
<v Speaker 2>a verb, it's an acronym. That's what it is right now,

449
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:33.640
<v Speaker 2>But we do remember when I got about in a

450
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 2>minute before we take a break right now? What other

451
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.680
<v Speaker 2>pieces of technology, what other products? What other services do

452
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>you remember that are no longer here? And maybe it's

453
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 2>not a specific service, but maybe it's a type of

454
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:54.039
<v Speaker 2>media like VHS. Do you does? I mean, I know

455
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>my older folks, my older generation, if you are older

456
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.440
<v Speaker 2>than listen, if you're older than thirty, you know it.

457
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:02.039
<v Speaker 2>VHS is because when you were a kid and I'm

458
00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 2>talking to my son justin right now, who I know,

459
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 2>he's not listening. In Los Angeles, when I used to

460
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Speaker 2>wake up with you and hold you in my arms

461
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.519
<v Speaker 2>at three in the morning when you were crying so

462
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.680
<v Speaker 2>we could let your mother sleep. I popped in a

463
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 2>VHS of Barney the Damn Purple Dinosaur because there was

464
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 2>no Barney on CDs or download or streams. It was VHS.

465
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Who remembers pagers? Yes, I had my first pager back

466
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.279
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen ninety one ninety two. That was cool. You

467
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 2>could pick up a phone, not a cell phone, but

468
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.519
<v Speaker 2>a real phone, and you could call somebody's pager number.

469
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:40.000
<v Speaker 2>And then you'd hear a beep and you'd type into

470
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:43.759
<v Speaker 2>your ten digit return phone number, and then your little

471
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 2>pager would go beep, beep, beep op. I gotta find

472
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 2>a phone, maybe put a quarter in it so I

473
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:55.319
<v Speaker 2>can call back this person. Casset tapes, Yes, I also

474
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 2>had vinyl records and eight track tapes, but cassette tapes

475
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 2>is when I was big man was high school. For me.

476
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:06.119
<v Speaker 2>My first cassette tape, Journey Escape had to go out

477
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and get Michael Jackson Thriller. Yes, because I could take

478
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that and I could put it in my house with

479
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.319
<v Speaker 2>my stereo cassette, or I could take that to my

480
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 2>car and I had just a thump and stereo system

481
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:18.599
<v Speaker 2>where I was trying to impress my high school chicks,

482
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>which I had none of. Analog telephones, blackberries, overhead projectors,

483
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:31.839
<v Speaker 2>google glass, Apple iPods. We mourn, We sit Shiva, and

484
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 2>we remember things that we in many cases grew up

485
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:40.119
<v Speaker 2>with Skype or went out. It was glad to know

486
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>you what am I forgetting? People give me a shout

<v Speaker 2>pay it off right now as welcome back. It's Michael Garfield.

500
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:47.079
<v Speaker 2>matter how you're listening, be it terrestrially in Dallas, Houston,

501
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.960
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio. Thank you, if you're listening on the iHeartRadio

502
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.240
<v Speaker 2>app or anywhere else. I am here for you. This

503
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.359
<v Speaker 2>is my real voice I am. I mean, you can't

504
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>hear me hitting the microphone right now.

505
00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:58.519
<v Speaker 1>But this is me.

506
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.119
<v Speaker 2>At some point my voice may not be me, and

507
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:05.480
<v Speaker 2>that's scary to me because that is what artificial intelligence

508
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.720
<v Speaker 2>can be. There was a story a few weeks ago

509
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>that I saw and I don't think I talked about

510
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it yet, but there was a popular Australian radio station

511
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 2>that had been using an AI generated DJ just Jackie

512
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to host one of its segments, and no one noticed

513
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:31.400
<v Speaker 2>there was a show. It was a four hour mix

514
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:34.759
<v Speaker 2>of hip hop and R and B and pop, no

515
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 2>indication that the voice of its host was AI generated.

516
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know how it came out or something,

517
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:48.039
<v Speaker 2>but people didn't seem to be too happy about it

518
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 2>because maybe they didn't understand it. Now listen to be sure.

519
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Other radio stations they've experimented with using AI. There was

520
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.079
<v Speaker 2>an in Portland, Oregon radio station. I think something on

521
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Serious XM happened, and there was a post station last year.

522
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but as far as I know, this

523
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:13.319
<v Speaker 2>is me as far as I know the radio station

524
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>that I'm on, the stations that I'm on right now, iHeartRadio.

525
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they use AI. They haven't told me yet.

526
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 2>But when you hear stories like this, it's like, right, row,

527
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 2>what's happening? Because it's not hard to train AI artificial

528
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>intelligence on a computer, almost a regular PC laptop to

529
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:38.759
<v Speaker 2>mimic your voice, speak with the same cadence, maybe you

530
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 2>have an accent, maybe you have a Texas drawl, y'all.

531
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, it can imitate you and for some people,

532
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 2>they may not care for some people who make a

533
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>living off it, like me, Hello, nice to meet you.

534
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.400
<v Speaker 2>It may pick up. Listen, my longtime listeners know that

535
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:03.480
<v Speaker 2>I use fun verbiage. You know, I use the word

536
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.759
<v Speaker 2>ova and eva and let me help you out and

537
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.559
<v Speaker 2>if you know what I'm saying and p y P

538
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 2>play by play. All of this is on it's it's

539
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 2>not on tape, but it's online. It's on my podcast

540
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 2>You Tell an AI bought to just discour the Michael

541
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Garfield High Tech Texting podcast over the past year. It's

542
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 2>going to pick up the way I speak, the cadence,

543
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>my accent if I actually actually have an accent depending

544
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 2>on where you're from, but also the words it's it is.

545
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.880
<v Speaker 2>It is scary. And I bring it to this story

546
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:46.039
<v Speaker 2>which happened this week, which I found fascinating because as

547
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 2>scary it is that people can you know, rip off

548
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:53.159
<v Speaker 2>my voice, my face or whatever it is. It's interesting news,

549
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.320
<v Speaker 2>but it's also semi good news, and I can I

550
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:01.639
<v Speaker 2>appreciate this. So NBC, if you're an NBA, you're excited

551
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 2>because next year the NBA awarded part of its TV

552
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>contract to NBA. The NBA will be back on NBC.

553
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And for those of you of age, you know, certainly

554
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.920
<v Speaker 2>over thirty five years old, you may remember back in

555
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.199
<v Speaker 2>the late eighties and the nineties the NBA was on NBC.

556
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.599
<v Speaker 2>This was the Michael Jordan Hayday and everything that you need,

557
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and this is where they had John Tesh's theme song.

558
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 2>That's right. John Tesh wrote a theme song called round

559
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Ball Rock and it went something like Dun da dun

560
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>da dun Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

561
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 2>da dunda dunda da da d That's been gone for

562
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>years and years and years because I think NBC owned

563
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>the rights to it. Well, they're bringing it back. I

564
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:41.159
<v Speaker 2>love it. There was I saw commercial this past week

565
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>John Tsh man looking good. We're gonna be hearing this,

566
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I think on Sunday nights or Monday nights. Dun dan

567
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Dun dun d and dun dun dun dua da Not

568
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 2>the point. Here's the point where AI comes in. Not

569
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 2>only is NBC bringing back and paying John Tesh for

570
00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the rights to use that opening, NBA is bringing back

571
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:08.239
<v Speaker 2>the original announcer, his voice for the NBA broadcast Next system.

572
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 2>So if you go back to nineteen ninety or something.

573
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 2>There is a voice, and I I remember the song.

574
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Watching NBA on NBC, Marv Albert during the play by

575
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>play with us Zar this tellus straitor Mike Frittello, I

576
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:26.239
<v Speaker 2>remember it all. I don't really remember the voice, but

577
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.960
<v Speaker 2>his name was Jim Fagan. Jim Fagan did the voice.

578
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the NBA on NBC tonight, the Chicago Bills take

579
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 2>on the New York Next. You know that stuff ool nostalgia?

580
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:45.159
<v Speaker 2>What it'sy bitsy little caveat with Jim Fagan's voice. Jim

581
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Fagan died in twenty seventeen. NBC is using a I

582
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to generate his voice for the title sequences the show

583
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.400
<v Speaker 2>opens in the promos for its upcoming NBA covering, is

584
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that freaky dekey? They're recreating his voice? But they are,

585
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and they have gotten approval with the consent of his family.

586
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 2>That is how you're supposed to do it. You ask

587
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.559
<v Speaker 2>his family, maybe you pay his family, whoever has his estate.

588
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:30.119
<v Speaker 2>They're doing it the right way. It softens the blow

589
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:34.639
<v Speaker 2>when you hear that AI voice is taking over a

590
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 2>job that could have gone to me. I'll come in

591
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:44.639
<v Speaker 2>be see couldn't hire me. Tonight the NBA on NBC.

592
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:50.440
<v Speaker 2>You are Euston Rockets versus the Dallas Mavericks and it

593
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:55.800
<v Speaker 2>was host matchup seen only right here tonight a PM, Eastern,

594
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.199
<v Speaker 2>seventh Central NBA on NBC.

595
00:37:58.760 --> 00:37:59.079
<v Speaker 3>See that.

596
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:02.199
<v Speaker 2>It would have been a gig. I gotta retired on

597
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:05.119
<v Speaker 2>that money. Nope, they're using a guy who died eight

598
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.480
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I don't appreciate that, but they did get

599
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 2>the rights. But the point I have this is what

600
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>is happening in the world of artificial intelligence. Funny thing

601
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:18.760
<v Speaker 2>is this isn't the first time it's happened. This isn't

602
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the first time that NBC has done it in the

603
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Olympics last year I think it was last year, twenty

604
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:27.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty four Olympics in Paris on its Peacock streaming service.

605
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.920
<v Speaker 2>If you go to Peacock. NBC used in the AI

606
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:36.480
<v Speaker 2>version of Al Michaels to offer personalized recaps of the Olympics.

607
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.079
<v Speaker 2>And al Michaels is still alive. Yes, they got permission

608
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 2>from Al because al is under contract with I actually

609
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.280
<v Speaker 2>used to be with NBC, but Al now works for

610
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Amazon when it comes to football. But using the voice

611
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 2>of a dead Man as a prominent feature of its

612
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:55.719
<v Speaker 2>return to NBA broadcasting. It's an aggressive move. AI continues

613
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:58.599
<v Speaker 2>to be a hot button issue a number of different industries,

614
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 2>and this is just one because this is one that

615
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:05.760
<v Speaker 2>is in my wheelhouse thoughts on this. As we get

616
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 2>to our number two, and I will reassure you this

617
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.159
<v Speaker 2>is the High Tech tex Show and it really is

618
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the raspy voice of Michael Garkle the High Tech Texans.

619
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 2>When we come back on the other side, we're going

620
00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:20.719
<v Speaker 2>to talk cars. What's Michael been driving this week? Also,

621
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Pope Francis rest in peace. He bequeathed his Pope mob.

622
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess every time a pope dies his popemobiles they

623
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.760
<v Speaker 2>go into a museum. He actually bequeathed his Pope m'bile.

624
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you to who. But also, if anybody bequeathed

625
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 2>a famous vehicle to you, what would it be? Me Batmobile?

626
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:41.360
<v Speaker 2>It's in the running. We can have this discussion along

627
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:42.119

<v Speaker 2>on the air for twenty three years. The longest run

663
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 2>show in the history of KPRC, Folks, this radio station.

664
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:10.079
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening to Houston one hundred years old, how

665
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 2>about that came on early May of nineteen twenty five,

666
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.480
<v Speaker 2>nineteen twenty five. Of course, my grandmother who passed away recently,

667
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:21.400
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and five, she's like, oh my beer. Congrats

668
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.519
<v Speaker 2>to KPRC and everybody who is involved in that. And

669
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 2>I thank you for keeping me on almost a quarter

670
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:31.880
<v Speaker 2>of that time. Woo whoo? Am I old or I

671
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:35.519
<v Speaker 2>just started young? I don't know, but maybe you like me,

672
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.159
<v Speaker 2>you really really like me. Maybe you do. Maybe you

673
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:41.039
<v Speaker 2>like my two hours of BS, which of course stands

674
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:44.559
<v Speaker 2>for Bachelor of Science, which I got from the University

675
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of Texas. But I do spout two hours of what

676
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to think is good information, very good news,

677
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:56.360
<v Speaker 2>wreck tips if you do want to figure out, Hey,

678
00:42:56.440 --> 00:42:59.400
<v Speaker 2>what car to drive? What should I buy? What should

679
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I test? I want this phone? Do I want this

680
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:05.639
<v Speaker 2>piece of clothing. I'm kind of a jack of all trades.

681
00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 2>I talk about everything that I play with and test

682
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:11.719
<v Speaker 2>and companies send me and and I am not shy

683
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:14.599
<v Speaker 2>to tell you this sucks. I am not shy to say,

684
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.239
<v Speaker 2>you know what, you need to stay away from this whatsoever?

685
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Like mayna stay away from free, stay away from pork,

686
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.360
<v Speaker 2>not healthy. See, I am the guy who's going to

687
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:27.239
<v Speaker 2>tell you the truth. Tell you the truth. I saw this.

688
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:30.960
<v Speaker 2>But also we would like to extend congratulations to the

689
00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:34.639
<v Speaker 2>new pope. We have a new pope in town. We

690
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:39.559
<v Speaker 2>have Pope Leo, Leo the fourteenth, I dig that name.

691
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:43.639
<v Speaker 2>He is the first American pope ever from Chicago on

692
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the South Side, So we have to assume he's a

693
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:48.480
<v Speaker 2>white Sox fan, not a Cubbies fan. He is taking

694
00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the reins of what one one point four billion Catholics

695
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 2>around the world. That's pretty strong, pretty impressive. That's good.

696
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 2>He among the other perks gets a pope mobile or two.

697
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:07.639
<v Speaker 2>And I test drive cars, and I've never seen the

698
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.519
<v Speaker 2>popemobile in person, certainly never ridden it or driven. It

699
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.920
<v Speaker 2>could be a goal. I have a I would love

700
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.440
<v Speaker 2>one day to fly in Air Force one. That's kind

701
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:19.000
<v Speaker 2>of a dream. I would like to kind of roll

702
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.000
<v Speaker 2>around in the popemobile. And I think over the past

703
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:26.519
<v Speaker 2>several popes, each of them has had a few different potmobiles.

704
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 2>I think one of Pope Francis's was even an electric popemobile. Anyway,

705
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:36.360
<v Speaker 2>it's you think these popemobiles would get handed down from

706
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.440
<v Speaker 2>pope to pope to pope. Maybe they do. I'm guessing

707
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the new Pope Leo, does he want an American made

708
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:45.320
<v Speaker 2>popemobile since he's from America. I don't know. It's not

709
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:48.760
<v Speaker 2>up to me, but I saw this the one of Pope.

710
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Pope Francis says, you know, passed away about what three

711
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:55.960
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago or so, he bequeathed one of his popemobiles.

712
00:44:56.440 --> 00:44:58.960
<v Speaker 2>He was a good dude. We were tight, you know,

713
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:02.199
<v Speaker 2>we talk about you know, you know, football odds or whatever.

714
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:07.719
<v Speaker 2>He passed away, he bequeathed one of his popemobiles to

715
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a health clinic for children in the Gaza Strip. He

716
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:16.280
<v Speaker 2>was fulfilled one of his final wishes and they're transforming

717
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:19.719
<v Speaker 2>it into a mobile health clinic. So it was a popemobile,

718
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:21.480
<v Speaker 2>which is pretty cool when you look as I'm looking

719
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:25.639
<v Speaker 2>at it right. Here's this allows the Pope to stand

720
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:29.039
<v Speaker 2>up or sit down in an open air vehicle. But

721
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:33.760
<v Speaker 2>it's got this canopy, a glass I'm guessing bulletproof canopy

722
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 2>that he could stand in and wave to everybody. It's

723
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:39.039
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty cool. And it's got a bar you know

724
00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:40.960
<v Speaker 2>he can hold onto. And it went not not a

725
00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:43.159
<v Speaker 2>bar bar you know with cocktails, but it's got this

726
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 2>bar he can hold on too when he's standing up.

727
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:50.519
<v Speaker 2>And he donated it, and I'm thinking, how cool is that?

728
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess the Vatican could put it up,

729
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:55.880
<v Speaker 2>could have put it on eBay. How much do you

730
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:00.199
<v Speaker 2>think a popemobile would have gone for on eBay? I mean,

731
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 2>listen this rhetorical wee can you know I mean several

732
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:04.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand a million dollar me if the Pope signed it.

733
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you know, if you Millski could have donated that

734
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to health clinics around the world. That's not mean for

735
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:15.480
<v Speaker 2>me to say, but I was thinking if if I

736
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:18.800
<v Speaker 2>was to bid on a famous vehicle, a famous car,

737
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:20.920
<v Speaker 2>famous truck, and then again, I'm opening it up. I'm

738
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.840
<v Speaker 2>opening this up to you, my dear listeners. If you

739
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:26.559
<v Speaker 2>could get mom one of the greatest Mother's Day of

740
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.719
<v Speaker 2>her the coolest car you've ever seen on TV or

741
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a movie, or maybe it's a Popemobile, or maybe it's

742
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the beast as we say that the President of the

743
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:39.039
<v Speaker 2>United States drives around in in a Cadillac, what would

744
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:44.000
<v Speaker 2>it be. I would have to go number one seed

745
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:49.800
<v Speaker 2>for me Batmobile, and only I would pick the Batmobile

746
00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:53.320
<v Speaker 2>because the Batmobile is actually a real vehicle. It was

747
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:55.440
<v Speaker 2>it was you know, starting in the nineteen sixties went

748
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Adam West was Batman. And you know now in the

749
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:01.719
<v Speaker 2>movies they're way cool with all the Batmobile movies. So

750
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it's it's real. Whether they actually go one hundred and

751
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty miles an hour or whatever it is batteries to power,

752
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.599
<v Speaker 2>turbines to speed, I don't know. The only reason is

753
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:22.599
<v Speaker 2>because the greatest vehicle ever designed, schematic created conceptually in

754
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:29.440
<v Speaker 2>TV or movies. In my opinion, speed racers mock five.

755
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:34.119
<v Speaker 2>There is no better vehicle. Now it's not. I have

756
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:37.119
<v Speaker 2>seen a mock up or a version of the mock five.

757
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 2>It looks like it, but ain't no way. It works

758
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:44.159
<v Speaker 2>like the cartoon, the greatest cartoon known to man. Exactly

759
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.639
<v Speaker 2>what at least known to Michael Garfield. Go look up

760
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:50.400
<v Speaker 2>mock five and if you are of age, you know

761
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:53.400
<v Speaker 2>what I'm talking about. It's got the steering wheel with

762
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

763
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Trivia question, There actually is a letter H somewhere on

764
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the mack five. Actually we should do a trivia question.

765
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 2>First person who calls in at seven one three, two

766
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 2>one two five nine five? Oh, where was the H?

767
00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 2>At the letter H? There was a button, don't I'll

768
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:18.320
<v Speaker 2>tell you what it's not on the steering wheel because

769
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:21.519
<v Speaker 2>it was ABC, D, E, F and G and they

770
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.559
<v Speaker 2>each you press up speed racer pressed the button, they

771
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:26.960
<v Speaker 2>did something you pressed A and and I had these

772
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.400
<v Speaker 2>automatically jumpers and so he could drive and all of

773
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a sudden he would jump over you know something in

774
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the rogue dunt dun dun, dum dunk dum. It was

775
00:48:33.559 --> 00:48:35.760
<v Speaker 2>also a jack that you know, So Sparky can work

776
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:37.960
<v Speaker 2>under the car. Uh, and then there was a there

777
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.400
<v Speaker 2>was a cockpit underwater with the oxygen there. I mean,

778
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I can go on and on. There was cutters that

779
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:43.480
<v Speaker 2>actually came out of the car so he could actually

780
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.519
<v Speaker 2>cut through the forest. It was beautiful. Okay again it's

781
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 2>car Tim. You tell me first person, you're gonna get

782
00:48:48.599 --> 00:48:52.639
<v Speaker 2>a fifty dollars gift card to Red River Cantena in Houston.

783
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:56.159
<v Speaker 2>All right, great Mexican food seven one three, two, one

784
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 2>two five nine five. Oh we got a few lies.

785
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Where was the letter h J and what did it

786
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:04.880
<v Speaker 2>do on the mack five? You see, this is what

787
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a loser I am. I live vicariously through sports and cartoons.

788

00:53:11.360 --> 00:53:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you see, you would you would see you know, kind

<v Speaker 2>was just answered. Who won this? This was Ray Ray

864
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:39.159
<v Speaker 2>in just outside of Dallas. He called in here's the winner.

865
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:45.400
<v Speaker 2>If you remember the cartoon speed Racer Tricksy Sparky Pops

00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.639
<v Speaker 2>most powerful, most sophisticated car ever invented by Pop's Racer.

868
00:53:56.679 --> 00:53:58.960
<v Speaker 2>They had. He has a steering wheel and it has

869
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:01.519
<v Speaker 2>letters on the steer will A, B, C, D, E,

870
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:03.920
<v Speaker 2>F and G. G was the middle big one, and

871
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:06.719
<v Speaker 2>each button when you pushed it did something special. I

872
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:09.199
<v Speaker 2>mean you could go under water. Cockpit would come on,

873
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:12.119
<v Speaker 2>oxygen cutters would come out the front and he would

874
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.719
<v Speaker 2>cut down trees. It would the A button has jumpers

875
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:17.159
<v Speaker 2>that you know, he's driving in the middle of the

876
00:54:17.199 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 2>road and all of a sudden he's a boulder and

877
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:22.159
<v Speaker 2>he junk dunk dunk, dunk dunk, yeah, A B, C, D, E, F,

878
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and G G was the homing pigeon. That was the

879
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:30.719
<v Speaker 2>big one in the center, so he could record a message.

880
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Hit G OR and there's a little remote control would

881
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:37.480
<v Speaker 2>pop up in the center between the driver's seat and

882
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the passenger seat and he can actually, I don't know,

883
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:44.320
<v Speaker 2>defend himself or this little it's like it was like

884
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a drone. It's electronic homing pigeon. Okay, when a real pigeon,

885
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:52.199

888
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.880

889
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:05.320

890
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:08.159

891

892
00:55:11.679 --> 00:55:14.679
<v Speaker 2>a letter H and by hitting the letter H, the

893
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:20.400
<v Speaker 2>homing pigeon. Homing pigeon would go home to speed racers family,

906
00:55:56.400 --> 00:55:59.320
<v Speaker 2>It is Mother's Day weekend if you're thinking about Also,

907
00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:03.159
<v Speaker 2>don't forget man, dads and grads are coming up. We

908
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:04.719
<v Speaker 2>love you, mom, and I'm not trying to blow off

909
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:07.320
<v Speaker 2>mom yet. But we got graduations that are happening. Like

910
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:10.639
<v Speaker 2>right now, kids are graduating high school and they're going

911
00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:14.440
<v Speaker 2>to college. College kids are graduating. They're hope they're moving

912
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:16.519
<v Speaker 2>home with their parents, or they're going to work. I

913
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:20.920
<v Speaker 2>hope the latter. What can you get them? How about

914
00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:25.079
<v Speaker 2>a gaming PC a lot of game Well, first of all,

915
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.239
<v Speaker 2>you can get them a PC. If high school kids

916
00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.199
<v Speaker 2>are going to college, they may need a new computer.

917
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:33.079
<v Speaker 2>They may need a new tablet. I can recommend those

918
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and some of them. If you want a very powerful computer,

919
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:40.159
<v Speaker 2>you can get a gaming pc. I don't talk a

920
00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:44.159
<v Speaker 2>ton about gaming PCs. I know, of my three boys,

921
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:47.000
<v Speaker 2>my middle son's a big gamer. He and I built

922
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:52.239
<v Speaker 2>his gaming PC four or five years ago, and it

923
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:55.800
<v Speaker 2>was it was fun. It was a great dad sun

924
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:01.320
<v Speaker 2>spend time, learning experience together. Even though at the end

925
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:06.719
<v Speaker 2>of the day we could have bought one and it

926
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.719
<v Speaker 2>would have saved time. It would have at the end

927
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:09.920
<v Speaker 2>of the day may have Actually I don't know if

928
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:11.559
<v Speaker 2>it's saved money, because you know, you could build one

929
00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:14.360
<v Speaker 2>for you know, relatively expensive. I talk about this because

930
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.880
<v Speaker 2>coming up there's a new gaming pc. I saw that

931
00:57:16.960 --> 00:57:20.639
<v Speaker 2>as man. The specs are unbelievable, spectrumable. It's from r

932
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:24.679
<v Speaker 2>OG Republic of Gamers. It's their new G seven hundred

933
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.239
<v Speaker 2>gaming pc. I'm going to dial up and I'm going

934
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to get someone from r OG slash as US to

935
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:34.679
<v Speaker 2>call in. What have we got to You gotta give me,

936
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:36.119
<v Speaker 2>give me about five or six minutes, and we're gonna

937
00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:38.239
<v Speaker 2>talk about some of these specs and why these gaming

938
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.599
<v Speaker 2>PCs are just massively fast, and how they can heat

939
00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:44.599
<v Speaker 2>up really quickly and this new air cooling system that

940
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:47.559
<v Speaker 2>they've got. So just some topics I thought I would

941
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:51.039
<v Speaker 2>bring up, which I think is pretty cool. Anybody and

942
00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:55.639
<v Speaker 2>everybody have their real ID. Yet, as if flying wasn't

943
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:01.119
<v Speaker 2>already cray cray in America, if Newark Airport this past

944
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:04.639
<v Speaker 2>week wasn't already jacked up because of delayed flights, this

945
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:07.719
<v Speaker 2>was the week that we've been waiting for for How

946
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:09.840
<v Speaker 2>How long have we known we should be getting these

947
00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:13.760
<v Speaker 2>real ideas? Was it two thousand and five or something?

948
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:17.360
<v Speaker 2>We have known this for a long time. The deadline

949
00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:20.920
<v Speaker 2>has come. It was last Tuesday. US travelers, they are

950
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.440
<v Speaker 2>required by law to have a real ID, because God

951
00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:26.960
<v Speaker 2>forbid you have a fake ID if you want to

952
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:31.760
<v Speaker 2>even fly domestically. So if you're traveling, if you've forgot

953
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:34.639
<v Speaker 2>to get your real ID, you're actually still going to

954
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:38.480
<v Speaker 2>be able to fly, but you may be screwed at security.

955
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:40.280
<v Speaker 2>It may take a little bit longer. Give yourself some

956
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:45.360
<v Speaker 2>extra time of the airport. I have I have a

957
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:46.920
<v Speaker 2>real idea, and you know you have a real idea.

958
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Look at your driver's license, and on the top right

959
00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:52.000
<v Speaker 2>hand corner. If you're in Texas or actually almost anywhere

960
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.519
<v Speaker 2>except California, there is a star. There is a star

961
00:58:55.639 --> 00:58:58.679
<v Speaker 2>in California. There's actually a bear, a golden bearing, because

962
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:01.599
<v Speaker 2>that's that's on the flag. It's the logo of California.

963
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:04.159
<v Speaker 2>That's how you got a real ID. I didn't even

964
00:59:04.239 --> 00:59:05.960
<v Speaker 2>know about this real idea. I've had a real ID

965
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:07.920
<v Speaker 2>for years and years and years because the last time

966
00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I got my driver's license, I guess on my birthday

967
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:13.119
<v Speaker 2>when it expired a few years ago, went in, took

968
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:15.159
<v Speaker 2>a picture, had tod you know, put the makeup and

969
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the hair on the whole thing, and then they mailed

970
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:20.280
<v Speaker 2>me my driver's license and it had the real ID start,

971
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:21.760
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't have to worry about it. So, if

972
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you've gotten your driver's license renewed over the past four

973
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:29.159
<v Speaker 2>or five six years or so, odds are you have

974
00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:31.719
<v Speaker 2>a real ID? I just this has gotten a lot

975
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of publicity over the past four or five six months,

976
00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:39.199
<v Speaker 2>certainly over the past ten years. How does anybody not

977
00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:43.119
<v Speaker 2>have this yet? And what it is? It's an enhanced

978
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:46.199
<v Speaker 2>version of your standard state driver's license. I don't know

979
00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:49.599
<v Speaker 2>how it's enhanced, but it's intended to help authorities crack

980
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:56.679
<v Speaker 2>down on terrorism and identity fraud. I don't know. And

981
00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:02.159
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. Did anybody when they were underage before

982
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:05.719
<v Speaker 2>they could drink or drive. Who had a fake ID?

983
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm raising my hand. Listen, I was a d

984
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:11.079
<v Speaker 2>nice gol. Yes, me and all my buddies had fake ideas.

985
01:00:11.519 --> 01:00:13.960
<v Speaker 2>If you could fake an ID, can't you fake a

986
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>real ID? Star. I'm just throwing it out there. I'm

987
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>not telling you to do that. I'm not telling you

988
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:20.800
<v Speaker 2>that whatsoever. All right, coming up, we're gonna talk about

989
01:00:21.119 --> 01:00:23.559
<v Speaker 2>gaming PCs before and then when we come back, I

990
01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>will tell you what I was driving this week. Got

991
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>a really really cool card that I had. It is

992
01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:29.679
<v Speaker 2>not the mock five, but that's what I do every week.

993
01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I actually test draft card, tell you my thoughts right

994
01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>here on the High Tech text and chew black at it.

995
01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>The long running high Tech text and show. Michael Greifeld

996
01:00:56.800 --> 01:00:58.559
<v Speaker 2>is the name Open phone lines if you want to

997
01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:02.639
<v Speaker 2>ask questions. Count down to Mother's Day, big mod man.

998
01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>We got Mother's Day. We've got graduations that are happening too,

999
01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:09.679
<v Speaker 2>which actually is segueing, and I can segue because I

1000
01:01:09.880 --> 01:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>am a professional media personality. People, I'm gonna segue into

1001
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>potential gifts for mom, yes, you better hurry up, but

1002
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:20.079
<v Speaker 2>also for grads. They're gonna like this next thing we're

1003
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna talk about. And also dads too. I am a dad.

1004
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I got into gaming and computing because of my three sons,

1005
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.719
<v Speaker 2>and I remember helping them. At least my middle son,

1006
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>big gamer, and he always wanted a big, powerful gaming

1007
01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:36.119
<v Speaker 2>PC every few years. And you know, one of the

1008
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>things when it comes to gaming PCs, you can build

1009
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>these things. You can speck them out, and you can

1010
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>go get the motherboard and the components, and you know,

1011
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I know how to do that without a doubt. But

1012
01:01:45.039 --> 01:01:47.039
<v Speaker 2>then again, as I got older, I got lazy. I'm like,

1013
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>you know what, let's just buy one that's pre built,

1014
01:01:48.840 --> 01:01:52.239
<v Speaker 2>which is exactly well we're gonna talk about right now.

1015
01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>A big name when it comes to gaming PCs is

1016
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>OROG stands for a Republic of Gamers, kind of a

1017
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:04.159
<v Speaker 2>part to the Asus computers. ROG big name, and you know, listen,

1018
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>they make phones and a number of other things. But

1019
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>if you want to spect out just out of this

1020
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:12.199
<v Speaker 2>world big gaming PC. I just saw that they have

1021
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>a relatively new one, and I wanted to talk about that,

1022
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:17.199
<v Speaker 2>just give everybody some ideas that this is out here.

1023
01:02:17.480 --> 01:02:20.039
<v Speaker 2>And with that, I go to the source and that

1024
01:02:20.199 --> 01:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>source when I need ROG information is wits and Gordon.

1025
01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>He is the head of content marketing with ROG. Happy

1026
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>early Mother's Day, witson just kidding.

1027
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh. First of all, completely seamless segue, brilliantly done.

1028
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>You are indeed a professional, So I do exactly. I

1029
01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:40.119
<v Speaker 3>guess I kind of screwed up on the Mother's Day thing?

1030
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Did you get your mom? Are you getting your mom

1031
01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:44.079
<v Speaker 2>an ROG gaming computer?

1032
01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:46.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm not, but Mother's Day is set around here. I've

1033
01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:47.920
<v Speaker 3>already got my shopping done.

1034
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>We're good.

1035
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Otherwise I would have had a panic attack just now.

1036
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:54.440
<v Speaker 3>So thanks for that. No, but but no matter who

1037
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>you are getting gift for. Maybe you've got a mom

1038
01:02:56.519 --> 01:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>who's a gamer. You got yeah, like you said, a

1039
01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>grat who needs a computer for college. This is a

1040
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:01.440
<v Speaker 3>great option.

1041
01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Well let's let's start with this. You heard me in

1042
01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>my opening talk about you know, I have three boys

1043
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:07.719
<v Speaker 2>and they're big in the gaming. But when it comes

1044
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to gaming PCs A lot of back in the day,

1045
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>it's I need something powerful. I mean, I want a

1046
01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.519
<v Speaker 2>graphics card, I need everything. So I want to spec

1047
01:03:16.599 --> 01:03:18.559
<v Speaker 2>this out and I want to build it myself. It's

1048
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>it's a great parent kid project. What would you say

1049
01:03:22.599 --> 01:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>are the advantages of a pre built versus a custom

1050
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>gaming PC?

1051
01:03:28.800 --> 01:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, both options are great, right, Like, I've been

1052
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:34.199
<v Speaker 3>building PC for years, and Asus, i mean made its

1053
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:38.440
<v Speaker 3>name on PC components like motherboards and graphics cards decades

1054
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:42.599
<v Speaker 3>over decades, right Like, that's that's how we became who

1055
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:46.480
<v Speaker 3>we are today. But by the same token, like, we

1056
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:48.480
<v Speaker 3>offer those products if you want to build your own.

1057
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:53.719
<v Speaker 3>But that's also what makes us so adept at building

1058
01:03:54.199 --> 01:03:56.679
<v Speaker 3>a PC, a pre built PC for you to just

1059
01:03:56.760 --> 01:03:59.239
<v Speaker 3>go and buy. Right, Building a PC is fun, but

1060
01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:01.920
<v Speaker 3>it's not something that everyone's into. Some people just want

1061
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:05.440
<v Speaker 3>to game, right, they're gamers first. They want to come home,

1062
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:07.559
<v Speaker 3>plug it in and get up and running. They don't

1063
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>want to put it together themselves, and that's totally fine.

1064
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Some people want one all inclusive warranty so if something

1065
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:16.400
<v Speaker 3>is a little wonky with the PC, they have one

1066
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:19.119
<v Speaker 3>single place they can go to for support. They don't

1067
01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:21.920
<v Speaker 3>have to kind of piece out each individual part, figure

1068
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:24.400
<v Speaker 3>out all of that stuff, totally get all of that.

1069
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.840
<v Speaker 3>But really the advantage is you know that we have

1070
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>pieced this thing, that we built it from the ground up,

1071
01:04:31.639 --> 01:04:34.880
<v Speaker 3>rigorously tested it, for rock solid stability, reliability.

1072
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Right.

1073
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:38.599
<v Speaker 3>We tuned all of the fans and the graphics card

1074
01:04:38.679 --> 01:04:41.239
<v Speaker 3>and all of that to run perfectly right out of

1075
01:04:41.320 --> 01:04:43.519
<v Speaker 3>the box, so you don't have to That's really the

1076
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:44.159
<v Speaker 3>big benefit.

1077
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Here's I'm gonna say this, and I'll because I did

1078
01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>it myself later in life when the kids got older.

1079
01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the lazy way to actually get a good gaming

1080
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:52.960
<v Speaker 2>PC instead of having to build it and well, wait

1081
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a minute, I forgot to hook this cord up and

1082
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.599
<v Speaker 2>this cord up. But it's nice having a solid brand

1083
01:04:57.719 --> 01:05:00.559
<v Speaker 2>behind it, you know, something like ro And with that,

1084
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna start leading into this this new I'm gonna

1085
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:05.199
<v Speaker 2>call it a monster. You call it that. It's just

1086
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a monster of a gaming PC. It's the Rogg seven hundred.

1087
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking online. I'm looking at the specs of

1088
01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:12.639
<v Speaker 2>this thing, and you can speck it out a few

1089
01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>different ways. But oh my goodness, I mean, I never

1090
01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:17.159
<v Speaker 2>thought years and years ago, you know, you can get

1091
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.639
<v Speaker 2>into the numbers of how many terabides and how many

1092
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>what I mean it is just fast and super speedy.

1093
01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>What makes this new Rogg seven hundred stand out from

1094
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>other pre built gaming PCs?

1095
01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Good question. So, I mean everything that I just mentioned, right,

1096
01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:33.639
<v Speaker 3>We've got kind of our reputation behind this. We know

1097
01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:37.559
<v Speaker 3>how to build a good PC, but really we kind

1098
01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:40.559
<v Speaker 3>of started from scratch with this run, right. We took

1099
01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:43.199
<v Speaker 3>a much more modern approach to the case design. This

1100
01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:45.599
<v Speaker 3>is not a case that we just got off of

1101
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:47.960
<v Speaker 3>one of our shelves. We designed this case from the

1102
01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:51.360
<v Speaker 3>ground for this PC. It's got a really modern look

1103
01:05:51.400 --> 01:05:53.119
<v Speaker 3>with tempered glass on the front and side so you

1104
01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:55.280
<v Speaker 3>can see the inside of your PC. That's really nice.

1105
01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:57.079
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of gamers love that. But it's

1106
01:05:57.079 --> 01:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>also still got enough ventilation from the front. It's got

1107
01:06:00.039 --> 01:06:02.119
<v Speaker 3>these events on the side that draw air in from

1108
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:04.519
<v Speaker 3>the front and then out the top with our again

1109
01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:08.480
<v Speaker 3>a custom water cooler that we built for the CPU

1110
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:11.159
<v Speaker 3>in this machine, got a radiator on the top, so

1111
01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:14.960
<v Speaker 3>you get really cool performance, quieter performance because water cooling

1112
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:18.719
<v Speaker 3>is so efficient, and it's got just an absolute monster

1113
01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:21.119
<v Speaker 3>graphics card in it, depending again on how you spec

1114
01:06:21.159 --> 01:06:23.599
<v Speaker 3>it out, but it's using the latest fifty serious cards

1115
01:06:23.639 --> 01:06:26.960
<v Speaker 3>from Nvidia with the special rog sauce that we put

1116
01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:28.440
<v Speaker 3>on you know, our heat sinks and all that. So

1117
01:06:28.559 --> 01:06:31.519
<v Speaker 3>this thing is quiet and performs like you said, a monster.

1118
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:33.079
<v Speaker 3>There's only one way to put it.

1119
01:06:33.480 --> 01:06:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Look at the pictures online and by the way, Wits

1120
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and Gordon joining me, the head of content marketing for

1121
01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Republic of Gamers, are og issues the pictures are I'm

1122
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:45.719
<v Speaker 2>going it looks like a disco tech man. I mean

1123
01:06:46.119 --> 01:06:49.639
<v Speaker 2>there's ic led lights. I mean it's dumb. This is

1124
01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>not your typical PC thing. I mean, this is a

1125
01:06:52.760 --> 01:06:55.159
<v Speaker 2>and I'm gonna I'm gonna use this term. It's a

1126
01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:57.519
<v Speaker 2>conversation piece and it's a piece of art. Also when

1127
01:06:57.559 --> 01:06:59.639
<v Speaker 2>you see it walking in, when sitting on your desk.

1128
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, we're a long way from the beige boxes of

1129
01:07:02.840 --> 01:07:06.519
<v Speaker 3>old you know, twenty thirty years ago. But what's cool

1130
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:09.119
<v Speaker 3>about this? I mean, you know something that is hard

1131
01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:10.599
<v Speaker 3>to do justice with this is you can look at

1132
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:14.559
<v Speaker 3>pictures of it online. But once you get it, you

1133
01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:17.639
<v Speaker 3>can still customize it yourself. Right, You can change the

1134
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:19.880
<v Speaker 3>colors of all those lights to match whatever the rest

1135
01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:22.639
<v Speaker 3>of your setup is, whatever your favorite color scheme is.

1136
01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:25.239
<v Speaker 3>Like you mentioned, you can speck it out online. You

1137
01:07:25.239 --> 01:07:27.679
<v Speaker 3>don't have to build it from scratch, but you can choose. Hey,

1138
01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.119
<v Speaker 3>these are the kind of the specs that I want

1139
01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:32.119
<v Speaker 3>that match my budget and the kind of games that

1140
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I play, so you can still really make it yours,

1141
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>which is cool. You get a lot of that fun

1142
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.239
<v Speaker 3>part of PC gaming, even if you don't want to

1143
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of build it from scratch.

1144
01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:45.639
<v Speaker 2>It talked about cooling and the fan system, and I

1145
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:47.800
<v Speaker 2>don't want anybody just to kind of gloss over this

1146
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>because this is one of, if not the most important

1147
01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:53.119
<v Speaker 2>thing of what makes a gaming PC a gaming PC,

1148
01:07:53.320 --> 01:07:57.119
<v Speaker 2>because this thing can heat up for long gaming sessions

1149
01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:00.679
<v Speaker 2>and you do need some advanced cooling feet. You talked

1150
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>about the fan system, the liquid cooler. Why is that

1151
01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:05.159
<v Speaker 2>so important for long game resessions?

1152
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:08.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, you know, when you have a gaming PC,

1153
01:08:08.760 --> 01:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>especially you're really specking it out to the nines. The

1154
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:15.239
<v Speaker 3>most powerful components generate heat, right, There's no way around

1155
01:08:15.320 --> 01:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>that particular law of physics, and one of the things

1156
01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:23.199
<v Speaker 3>that separates a great gaining PC from a mediocre gaining PC.

1157
01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:25.479
<v Speaker 3>You can have two PCs with the exact same you know,

1158
01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:28.680
<v Speaker 3>parts of them, the same Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU

1159
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:31.760
<v Speaker 3>or a MDCPU, but the cooling can make a big

1160
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:34.560
<v Speaker 3>difference in how it operates day to day and how

1161
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:36.840
<v Speaker 3>it you know, feels and sounds when you're playing it

1162
01:08:36.920 --> 01:08:39.159
<v Speaker 3>the right fans in the right places, can mean that

1163
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:42.800
<v Speaker 3>it's quieter, can mean that it keeps that performance stably

1164
01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:44.840
<v Speaker 3>for a longer period of time. Right, All of that

1165
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.279
<v Speaker 3>stuff does make a difference. So that's why you know,

1166
01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:50.920
<v Speaker 3>we kind of put all of our expertise in designing

1167
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.439
<v Speaker 3>the cooling system to work this way. Whereas you know,

1168
01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:55.119
<v Speaker 3>if you're building yourself and it's your first time, you

1169
01:08:55.199 --> 01:08:58.800
<v Speaker 3>might not get that completely optimal airflow path and things

1170
01:08:58.880 --> 01:08:59.039
<v Speaker 3>like that.

1171
01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, we'll compare gaming systems like this computer, but also

1172
01:09:06.079 --> 01:09:07.800
<v Speaker 2>how about the gaming system that we could plug into

1173
01:09:07.840 --> 01:09:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the TV, the Xbox and the PlayStation type of things,

1174
01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:18.079
<v Speaker 2>and the difference in terms of the actual games, the graphics.

1175
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:19.760
<v Speaker 2>How would you compare that to the layperson.

1176
01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:24.600
<v Speaker 3>So then the great thing about PC gaming is that

1177
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:27.319
<v Speaker 3>if you want to kind of fiddle with things right

1178
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:28.960
<v Speaker 3>and kind of make it your own, you can. You

1179
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:31.800
<v Speaker 3>can fiddle with graphic settings on your computer and dial

1180
01:09:31.880 --> 01:09:34.880
<v Speaker 3>in that exact balance of performance and graphical fidelity that

1181
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:37.000
<v Speaker 3>you want. Because people's tastes are different. If you want

1182
01:09:37.079 --> 01:09:39.199
<v Speaker 3>higher frame rates, you can do that. If you'd rather

1183
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:41.920
<v Speaker 3>look really beautiful like a movie and you're willing to

1184
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.960
<v Speaker 3>sacrifice a little performance for that, you can. But you know,

1185
01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the other advantage is that just with a PC, depending

1186
01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:51.239
<v Speaker 3>on how you speck it out, you could be way

1187
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:53.640
<v Speaker 3>more powerful than a lot of those consoles. You can

1188
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:58.279
<v Speaker 3>get much better performance with crazy fidelity, super high resolutions,

1189
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:01.800
<v Speaker 3>all of this realistic lighting, that kind of stuff. But

1190
01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>the other thing that a lot of people don't realize

1191
01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:08.359
<v Speaker 3>is that games are often pound for pound cheaper on PC.

1192
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:11.239
<v Speaker 3>This is one of my favorite things is that because

1193
01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:13.760
<v Speaker 3>everything's digital and you have multiple stores competing with each

1194
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:17.119
<v Speaker 3>other on PC, you can get games on sale for

1195
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:21.439
<v Speaker 3>really inexpensive and there are all kinds of free game

1196
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:23.840
<v Speaker 3>giveaways and stuff like that, so you end up amassing

1197
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:26.920
<v Speaker 3>this giant library of games where you could play anything

1198
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:30.039
<v Speaker 3>you want, anytime you want, which is one of the

1199
01:10:30.119 --> 01:10:31.960
<v Speaker 3>things that I really like about the platform. Is kind

1200
01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:32.399
<v Speaker 3>of unique.

1201
01:10:32.720 --> 01:10:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I like it. No, you're getting on the inside info

1202
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:37.479
<v Speaker 2>like that, And I know my middle son who's mister

1203
01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>gamer right now, you know going, Hey, guarantee, I'm gonna

1204
01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>hang offs, I'm gonna get a text. Hey can you

1205
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:46.239
<v Speaker 2>get me one of those rogs? I'm like nope, No,

1206
01:10:46.520 --> 01:10:48.359
<v Speaker 2>this is what you work for he works now, and

1207
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>so now he can go, but I will tell him

1208
01:10:50.840 --> 01:10:52.359
<v Speaker 2>to get one of these instead of building it, because

1209
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:55.239
<v Speaker 2>it's much easier. His name is whits And Gordon, the

1210
01:10:55.319 --> 01:10:59.319
<v Speaker 2>head of content marketing with ROG, which is Republic of Gamers.

1211
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I know the website. I'm looking at it right now,

1212
01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:05.319
<v Speaker 2>r OG dot as USA SEUs dot com. If people

1213
01:11:05.399 --> 01:11:07.920
<v Speaker 2>are interested in getting these things, how about are they

1214
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:09.680
<v Speaker 2>in stores? You got a few stores where people can go.

1215
01:11:09.800 --> 01:11:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely, these are going to be a multiple retailers

1216
01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:14.880
<v Speaker 3>across to us. I know we've got them at best Buy,

1217
01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.319
<v Speaker 3>a New Egg. If you have a microcenter near you,

1218
01:11:17.479 --> 01:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>you can drive over there and you can pick one

1219
01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:21.680
<v Speaker 3>up in store there as well. We have them for

1220
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:24.119
<v Speaker 3>sale on our site, and you know, check check your

1221
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:27.560
<v Speaker 3>local retailers see what squs are available, because at different

1222
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:30.439
<v Speaker 3>configurations might be available at different stores. You can find

1223
01:11:30.479 --> 01:11:32.600
<v Speaker 3>that perfect one that matches your budget and your needs.

1224
01:11:32.920 --> 01:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they starting at fifteen hundred dollars, I mean

1225
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I would listen, that's a heck of a deal to

1226
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>also and nothing because these things can get very very expensive,

1227
01:11:40.840 --> 01:11:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and you know you can still spec this one up

1228
01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.399
<v Speaker 2>pretty ten tense. But that's a great starting point and

1229
01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:47.079
<v Speaker 2>it's a great brand. And I do appreciate you always

1230
01:11:47.119 --> 01:11:49.119
<v Speaker 2>here every a couple times a year, of you coming

1236
01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I appreciate you. Thanks, Michael.

1237
01:12:01.680 --> 01:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>All Right, high Tech tex and show people, we will

1238
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.319
<v Speaker 2>talk about I got three or four people on hold

1239
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.119
<v Speaker 2>right now asking me about some of these Mother's Day

1240
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:12.600
<v Speaker 2>gifts that were showing off on my last TV segment. Yes, people,

1241
01:12:12.640 --> 01:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>there's a hair removal device which I think I'm just

1242
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:17.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep for myself and not giving it to my mom.

1243
01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Seven one three, two one two, five nine five. It

1244
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>is the long run in high tech text and chift.

1245
01:12:23.079 --> 01:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going thank you too. I'm missed out Whitsony Gordon

1246
01:12:42.079 --> 01:12:46.079
<v Speaker 2>from r OG All you PC gamers out there, maybe

1247
01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:49.119
<v Speaker 2>you've uh you liked that chat that I had with him. Uh,

1248
01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:52.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't talk about I'm not the biggest gamer, you know,

1249
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I I totally you know, listen, it's my kids. I

1250
01:12:55.479 --> 01:12:57.279
<v Speaker 2>had three boys and back in the day man one

1251
01:12:57.359 --> 01:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>of them had the Xbox. When of them at the

1252
01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Sony place, one head Nintendo, and I would get all

1253
01:13:02.279 --> 01:13:04.800
<v Speaker 2>of the games and I would have them on when

1254
01:13:04.800 --> 01:13:06.279
<v Speaker 2>they were young, and they would come on the ear

1255
01:13:06.359 --> 01:13:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and talk about it. They still I think. I know

1256
01:13:08.520 --> 01:13:11.479
<v Speaker 2>my middle son, he's a big Nintendo switch, you know.

1257
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I think my youngest still has the Xbox. But I

1258
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>leave that stuff up to them. But I know my

1259
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:19.199
<v Speaker 2>middle son is really big in the PC gaming. And

1260
01:13:20.199 --> 01:13:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I was, as I was talking to as you just

1261
01:13:22.279 --> 01:13:26.239
<v Speaker 2>heard with the Republic of Gamers, the rog G seven

1262
01:13:26.319 --> 01:13:29.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred gaming PC that just came out for fifteen hundred dollars,

1263
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:32.439
<v Speaker 2>and it is a piece. It is fast, the graphic

1264
01:13:32.520 --> 01:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>card is just unbelievable. I mean, sometimes it pays off

1265
01:13:37.479 --> 01:13:40.680
<v Speaker 2>just just get it instead of building one. Because my

1266
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>son and I built his, which was a good you know,

1267
01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a nice bonding experience, but I don't know, it's

1268
01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>probably just as fun to play games with him on

1269
01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:51.479
<v Speaker 2>that PC rather than building the thing. I mean, I

1270
01:13:51.520 --> 01:13:54.359
<v Speaker 2>could do it. It's okay, But if you're you're lazy,

1271
01:13:54.880 --> 01:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>if you want to get somebody to get for the graduation. Again,

1272
01:13:57.079 --> 01:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>it's Dad's and grads and Mom's day and all this

1273
01:13:58.960 --> 01:14:01.880
<v Speaker 2>stuff coming up. So there you go with that if

1274
01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>you want to final segment over here. And usually at

1275
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>some point during the show, I talk about what's Michael

1276
01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:12.640
<v Speaker 2>driving this week? And we still don't have a SoundBite

1277
01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>for that? Do we call um? We need it? What's

1278
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>my No? No, we need to here? He comes, here

1279
01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:23.239
<v Speaker 2>comes Michael gar Field. He's a demon on wheels. What's

1280
01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Michael driving this week? Because every week I do get

1281
01:14:25.920 --> 01:14:29.199
<v Speaker 2>to test drive a car, not from a dealership, directly

1282
01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>from a manufacturer. They do not pay me, sadly, which

1283
01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:35.760
<v Speaker 2>means I can rag on it, love on it, tell

1284
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:38.359
<v Speaker 2>you the good, the bad, the things to stay away from.

1285
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:42.840
<v Speaker 2>This week, Michael was driving in a new twenty twenty

1286
01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:49.399
<v Speaker 2>five super Ru Forester Hybrid super super Ru. I hear

1287
01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the word super Ru. It to me, it's the official

1288
01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:57.399
<v Speaker 2>car of Idaho, maybe Montana, maybe Colorado. You go, I

1289
01:14:57.479 --> 01:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>mean it's There's I'm never actually Idaho, have I but

1290
01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:05.119
<v Speaker 2>I just know so many people who live out there.

1291
01:15:05.399 --> 01:15:09.640
<v Speaker 2>They love their super Roots because it's not pretentious, it's

1292
01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>not ostentatious. It gets you there from a to z

1293
01:15:12.720 --> 01:15:14.960
<v Speaker 2>wherever you want to drive. It could go, you know,

1294
01:15:15.079 --> 01:15:18.079
<v Speaker 2>if it gets snowy, if it gets hilly, if it

1295
01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:22.039
<v Speaker 2>gets a little rocky. These superos are strong man. The

1296
01:15:22.239 --> 01:15:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Forester we're gonna call this a We're gonna call it

1297
01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:29.399
<v Speaker 2>an suv, a very small suv, maybe a Cuvia compact

1298
01:15:29.479 --> 01:15:33.079
<v Speaker 2>utility vehicle. But it's hot. This particular one. It's the

1299
01:15:33.279 --> 01:15:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Forester Premium Hybrid, five passengers, so it's got four doors,

1300
01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>it's got the hatchback. I was able to fit a

1301
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:42.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of stuff in that hatchback. Certainly when you fold

1302
01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:48.560
<v Speaker 2>down that second row. It easy to steer, easy to drive.

1303
01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:52.479
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and ninety four horse power. It's good because

1304
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:54.159
<v Speaker 2>it's not a heavy car. It's a relatively like carts.

1305
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>So one hundred and ninety four horse power is gonna

1306
01:15:55.720 --> 01:15:59.520
<v Speaker 2>get you where you're gonna go. What I found is

1307
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>got very good gas milage fuel economy thirty five in

1308
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:05.479
<v Speaker 2>the city, thirty four in the highway, so we got

1309
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:09.239
<v Speaker 2>about thirty five miles combined. It's also hybrid too, which

1310
01:16:09.319 --> 01:16:13.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of regenerates the breaking too, so it's got forty

1311
01:16:13.039 --> 01:16:17.119
<v Speaker 2>percent better fuel economy than non hybrids. In this same model,

1312
01:16:18.359 --> 01:16:24.399
<v Speaker 2>so I like it a lot. Inside twelve inch full

1313
01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:27.239
<v Speaker 2>instrument cluster, digital cluster. That's when you look through this

1314
01:16:27.239 --> 01:16:29.399
<v Speaker 2>steering will, you could see the odometer, the speed dometer.

1315
01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>You can configure it however you want. It's got the

1316
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:35.199
<v Speaker 2>eleven and a half inch touchscreens, got good navinations, not

1317
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the best SUPERU doesn't have, not my favorite infotainment multimedia center.

1318
01:16:42.479 --> 01:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>It does its job it certainly. It's got Bluetooth, it's

1319
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>got Apple CarPlay, Android auDA, the whole stuff. It's just

1320
01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. The graphics are just maybe a little

1321
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:55.279
<v Speaker 2>bit more rudimentary or just non defined sexiness than a

1322
01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:58.239
<v Speaker 2>lot of the other infotaments that I've seen. Absolutely certainly

1323
01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:02.760
<v Speaker 2>capable with whatsoever. It's available. Just came out spring of

1324
01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>this year. It's got some really nice standard features, the

1325
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>typical auto start and stop, and the auto powered door locks,

1326
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and the dual automatic climate control, rear seat reminder. I

1327
01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:15.920
<v Speaker 2>can go on and on. I don't want to sit

1328
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>here and read the MONRONI here for you, but the

1329
01:17:20.279 --> 01:17:23.840
<v Speaker 2>EV drive mode. Hit a button and you're set to go.

1330
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I was. I took this thing from Houston to Austin

1331
01:17:28.399 --> 01:17:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and back, and I didn't have to put gas in

1332
01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>it until I was back, and that's that's pretty good.

1333
01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:38.199
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good. The other thing as we wind up

1334
01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:43.359
<v Speaker 2>the price Listen, no one is locking down a price,

1335
01:17:43.479 --> 01:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>especially because the uncertain that we have in the market,

1336
01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>whether it's tariffs or whatsoever. But the Forester Premium Hybrid,

1337
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:54.399
<v Speaker 2>as I drew as I drove it, everything packed on there,

1338
01:17:54.439 --> 01:17:57.439
<v Speaker 2>including the destination delivery, right about thirty six thousand dollars.

1339
01:17:58.119 --> 01:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>That is not bad car as I toss drive on

1340
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the weekly basis that I've done for fifteen years. I mean,

1341
01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I was in one that was one hundred and twenty

1342
01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:08.239
<v Speaker 2>five thousand dollars a few weeks ago. Yes, it was

1343
01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>a range Rover. But I get some expensive cars. It's

1344
01:18:11.720 --> 01:18:17.119
<v Speaker 2>tough to find a vehicle that is under forty thousand

1345
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:19.199
<v Speaker 2>without a doubt, certainly underd fifty thousands a but for

1346
01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty six thousand dollars strong. Absolutely if you're looking for

1347
01:18:23.000 --> 01:18:25.720
<v Speaker 2>a car, which you know, if you got kids and

1348
01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:28.039
<v Speaker 2>you slap them around them with the soccer gear or

1349
01:18:28.199 --> 01:18:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the ballerina gear, and you know, hatchback and you want

1350
01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:35.279
<v Speaker 2>to go a little it's a little off roading. Super

1351
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:36.760
<v Speaker 2>U has always been strong, and I do like it.

1352
01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the twenty twenty five SUPERU Forster Premium Hybrid. I'm

1353
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:41.439
<v Speaker 2>not going to tell you a dealership because I don't

1354
01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:43.720
<v Speaker 2>even know where a superwo dealership is. Just to prove

1355
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the fact that I'm not selling these things. I wish

1356
01:18:46.119 --> 01:18:50.079
<v Speaker 2>I was sponsored by Superode, but I'm not. So absolutely

1357
01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:52.239
<v Speaker 2>like a sixteen point six gallon fuel tank, so you're

1358
01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:55.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna get about five hundred and eighty one mile range. Woo,

1359
01:18:55.479 --> 01:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>that's far. That's like halfway across Texas or something, depending

1360
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:01.199
<v Speaker 2>on how you slice it. With that, you're going to

1361
01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:04.560
<v Speaker 2>start winding this down. I do think are good friends

1362
01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>at Cowbo Bob's the greatest chips to statle chips in

1363
