<v Speaker 2>you hear a little pep in my voice. We do

21

<v Speaker 2>have some fun. If you've never tuned in, I swear

22
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 2>I am not going to tell you how to fix

23
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>your computer people for years, high tech text and show.

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to nod out. That's that's Kim Commando's job.

25
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm going to tell you some sexy stuff, though.

26
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to tell you what cars to drive, what

27
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 2>cars to stay away from. You need to do cell phone?

28
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>How about a new watch. I'm gonna tell you what

29
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 2>to buy. I'm not going to tell you how to

30
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>fix anything, because a lot of you people out there,

31
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you just don't care about fixing things. You just want

32
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>some good deals. And that's what I'm about, right Callum

33
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Reid here on the other side of the glass. He's

34
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>waving at me. He's punching the buttons to keep my

35
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>dulcet tones and sexy voice here for you. How about

36
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>we give out the phone number because this is the

37
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 2>last time I checked an interactive radio show and kids,

38
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>if you don't know what radio is, it's kind of

39
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 2>like a podcast, but it's live and it's heard terrestrially,

40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>uh for a lot of places simultaneously too. It's seven

41
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>one three two one two five nine five.

42
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:19.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh.

43
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Today, we're going to talk about a few things that

44
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually don't talk about a lot. We're going to

45
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>talk a little about pull iOS, Apple iOS eighteen. The

46
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>new operating system is here. Do you want it? Have

47
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 2>you downloaded? Is your iPhone ready for it? And if

48
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>it's not, I'm gonna give you a little checklist to

49
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>make sure you are ready for it? You sick subscriptions?

50
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>How many subscriptions do you have? I don't care if

51
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>you subscribe to electricity. I don't care if you subscribe

52
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 2>to newsletters, Uh, your cable. It's easy to subscribe, but

53
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>it is it is tough to unsubscribe. Well, there's a

54
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>new law potentially that's soon going to be making it

55
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot easier to cancel your subscriptions. How cool was that?

56
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>And it's been a long time coming. We got a

57
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>few new products, and we got some giveaways.

58
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 4>You know what.

59
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>We got giveaways because this is what radio does, unlike podcasts.

60
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Pretty much, we entice you with nice goodies to give away,

61
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, swags. Sometimes we give away hats and T shirts.

62
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Is what we've done for radio for twenty plus years.

63
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>But I for you have gift cards. I have people

64
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>that I know who have restaurants and they have stores.

65
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>They say, you know what, Garth, we love your listeners.

66
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>We love your demographics, who listen to you. Why don't

67
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>we give a few things away. So that's the whole

68
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>lineup of what we got over here. So stand by,

69
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>just put things in check, we'll be set to go.

70
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>One of the things I don't talk about at time.

71
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I should is AI artificial intelligence or ALAN iverson

72
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>to whichever way you want to look at it, But

73
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't talk about AIL lot. AI moves very quickly.

74
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>It is sometimes difficult to comprehend. Some of you utilize

75
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>it a lot. Some people, I bet a lot of

76
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>people are scared of it. You hear AI, and I

77
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's got a really good rap because

78
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't have a good PR team. You know, AI

79
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 2>is gonna take over my job, you know it. It's

80
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 2>taking over my clients. I don't need real people to

81
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>do this, or you know, people are going with artificial intelligence.

82
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Some aspects that can be true, and there's rules and

83
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>there's laws of what can and can't be done. And

84
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw something that I did want to I talk

85
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>about and point out. But this is how how AI

86
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>is changing things and making things a little bit more scary.

87
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>There was a high school senior in Massachusetts. It was

88
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>right now at the center of a legal dispute after

89
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 2>being disciplined for using AI in a class assignment. And

90
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>for parents out there, if you've got kids who are

91
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>in school right now, no matter what age odds are,

92
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 2>they've been googling things for many, many years. You if

93
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>you're listening, you're relatively young and you've been in school,

94
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 2>or you had a white paper that you need to do.

95
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>We want all the assistance that we can. But AI

96
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 2>is a different beast. Going back to the kid, the

97
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>senior in Massachusetts, his parents have filed a lawsuit against

98
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>a history teacher, a school district, and a local school committee,

99
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 2>arguing that the disciplinary actions taken against their son were

100
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>unfair and not supported by the school's policies when it

101
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 2>actually happened. So here's the delio. The student used AI

102
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>to create an outline, allegedly just an outline for a

103
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>history essay on basketball legend Kareem Abdul Jabar. Now, according

104
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 2>to the lawsuit, this use of AI did not violate

105
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>any school rules at the time. Now, despite this, he

106
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>received a failing grade on the assignment. He was given detention.

107
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>They still give detention now days in school, he was

108
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>excluded from the National Honor Society. The law sue claims

109
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 2>these actions have negatively impacted the kid's academic record and

110
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>his chances of being accepted to a competitive college where

111
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>he intended to apply. Oh, by the way, no matter

112
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that the kid got a perfect score on his ACT

113
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>straight hey average, he probably could have got into a

114
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>good college. So the students' parents have argued that their

115
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>son did not use AI to cheat, but used AI

116
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 2>rather to assist in research, really similar to how one

117
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>might use a search engine, and they're seeking to have

118
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>his ap US history grade changed, his Honor Society membership preinstated,

119
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and the cheating label removed from his record because they

120
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>believe these disciplinary actions pose a significant threat to his

121
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 2>college prospects. I get it, man, I'm a parent too,

122
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 2>but I read this and it really kind of ticks

123
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 2>me off. Can you imagine a teacher telling a student,

124
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 2>don't learn to use Google. You go to the library

125
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 2>and do your research using the Dewey decimal system. This

126
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>is the twenty first century. It's absurd. These are the

127
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 2>tools of this student's generation. In my mind, not only

128
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>should he learn to use AI, but the school should

129
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>be teaching best practices. Don't let your school bully you

130
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>into restricting student use of AI. Listen, we may not

131
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 2>fully understand the future that's coming, but whatever it looks like,

132
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be partnering with AI to build it. Now.

133
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to hear from you parents, students, what are

134
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts on this? Have you been busted as your

135

<v Speaker 2>kid been? I hate you busted called out on something

136
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>like this phone number here seven point three two one

138
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you're listening to right now is not AI. I'm not

139
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that scared that AI one day is going to take

140
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>over this radio job because at some point I'm gonna

141
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>be too old, and you know what' screw it. I'm

142

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you be listening live on KPRC nine to fifty am.

152
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>The neat thing of our radio. Once we are done

153
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.919
<v Speaker 2>here about an hour and forty five minutes, Callum zips

154
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>this thing up and he puts it on a podcast.

155
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>So I do a radio and a podcast. So if

156
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 2>you miss some of it, you can go to iHeartRadio,

157
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 2>download that free app and you can listen to this

158
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.759
<v Speaker 2>all you want with some of my tips high tech

159
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>text and show Michael Garfie. You can find it that way.

160
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Listen to me a long time. You know, I'm kind

161
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>of an Android guy because more people around the world

162
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 2>do use Android, much more than Apple iOS. Just the

163
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>way it is. People to suck it up. I don't

164
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.279
<v Speaker 2>talk about iOS or Apple a lot, but I do

165
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>feel the need to update you and give you the

166
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 2>real info. iOS eighteen was released this week. A lot

167
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>people are very timid, scared, shy about upgrading their operating system.

168
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I again, as an Android user, I probably once every

169
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 2>three months or so. I'll get a little alert that says, hey,

170
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>it's time for an upgrade. And I only get in

171
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe a Sunday morning, and you know, it takes four

172
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.759
<v Speaker 2>or five minutes and I do it. I don't hesitate.

173
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I In many cases, an upgrade to an operating system

174
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 2>it fix security holes, some potential you know, potential hackers

175
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>could get in. They're trying to improve the process. And

176
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>again maybe I'm naive, maybe I don't like what's new

177
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 2>because I'm so used to the old, But I do it.

178
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that. So if you have an iPhone,

179
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.879
<v Speaker 2>and you probably know, Apple released iOS eighteen, the eighteenth

180
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>version of it, this week, and probably about the backside,

181
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I need to check online. They probably already have eighteen

182
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>point oh one coming out soon. But it's a major

183
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>iPhone upgrade, and it does add new features. See it

184
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>adds a number of things, text message improvements, Apple map enhancements,

185
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You can mirror your iPhone from a Mac to a

186
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Mac os Sequoia. iOS also changes the way you interact

187
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 2>with things with your home and lock screens and your

188
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 2>control center, and how passwords are handled. That's a big one,

189
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>all right. So do you want to do it or

190
00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>don't you? At some point you are going to need

191
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>to do it. But upgrading to iOS eighteen it could

192
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>be a process, a multi step process, and I want

193
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>to make sure your adoption of this latest version of

194
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone system goes smooth and painless as possible. And

195
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you can bow out in the likely

196
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>event you need to go back to iOS seventeen, the

197
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>old days. You're ready, everybody ready to make the leap.

198
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I want you to follow along. I'm gonna give you

199
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 2>some steps to make sure your iPhone is ready for

200
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.759
<v Speaker 2>an upgrade. Okay, and again if you missed it, I'll

201
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 2>talk this. I'm gonna talk as slow as I can,

202
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 2>which does hurt callum. We'll put this thing on the

203
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>old podcast and you can listen to it on iHeartRadio.

204
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 2>First things first, you need to make sure your iPhone

205
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.039
<v Speaker 2>is compatible with the new iOS eighteen and pretty much

206
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 2>it goes back a while. If you have the new

207
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>iPhone fifteen FRO, the Plus, the Promat, Let's go to

208
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.919
<v Speaker 2>the iPhone fourteens, you're cool. Let's go to the iPhone thirteen's,

209
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>they're twelves, the elevens, you're fine. You can go back

210
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>one step earlier, iPhone XS or the xsmax or even

211
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>the XR. So on all you got about fifteen different

212
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>phones going back a good four years, four to five

213
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>years that you're okay on phone sixteen. Obviously it's cool too,

214
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that's the new one. But the first thing you should do, everybody,

215
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>you need to back up your phone. Make an archive

216
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 2>in case listen, I'm an eagle scout. Be prepared. Those

217
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>are the two words that I grew up with and

218
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I still tell people. No matter what it is, you're

219
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>probably accustomed to using iCloud backup. All good fall back

220
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>for your data. It's neat works in the background. It

221
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>involves the least amount of backup friction. Just make sure

222
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 2>you have a lot of iCloud disc space available. But

223
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to moving a full release version of iOS,

224
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 2>say again from the jump from iOS seventeen to iOS eighteen,

225
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>IKE cloud backup kind of has little issue because after

226
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>updating to iOS eighteen and letting it perform an ICOP backup,

227
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.919
<v Speaker 2>if you then decide to let's go back in time.

228
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to go back to iOS seventeen, you cannot

229
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>restore it from that iOS eighteen backup. You can't. Right,

230
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.399
<v Speaker 2>So updating to iOS and I'm totally from what I've heard,

231
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:38.919
<v Speaker 2>I haven't done it because I don't have an Apple.

232
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>It hadn't been a problem but there's a possibil that

233
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>something can go wrong, all right. That's why you need

234
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>to archive a backup on your computer. On your computer,

235
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>use the right cable. The new iPhone fifteen's, well, the

236
00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 2>relatively newer iPhone fifteens, it includes USBC or instead of

237
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>that old nasty, ugly, disgusting that lightning port. And the

238
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>pro models they can initially support USB three that's the

239
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 2>latest one. That's high speed data too. You're going to

240
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 2>be backing up a lot of information. Point is, try

241
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>to get all cables are not cables, is what I'm

242
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 2>trying to tell you. The cable that came in the

243
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 2>iPhone box, it's really meant for charging, and it's got

244
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 2>a relatively slow speed. It's USB two point zero. You

245
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 2>may want to go to the store, go online, get

246
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 2>a USB c cable that's rated for USB three point

247
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 2>one or even USB four a little look more expensive,

248
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 2>but it's speedier. All right. Then you create a little

249
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 2>local iPhone archive on your Mac, on your Mac hopefully

250
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>you have a Mac because you're an iPhone user and

251
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that's why you use it. You want to keep within

252
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:59.639
<v Speaker 2>the whole atmosphere, and don't you write make call it

253
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the eye phone. Call it you know, Jennifer, Jessica John's iPhone,

254
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 2>backup whatever it is. You can actually do it on

255
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Windows too. You can create a local iPhone archive on

256
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Windows if you want to. Then you want to make

257
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>sure your iPhone is otherwise up to date, so before

258
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>updating to iOS eighteen, you make sure your device is

259
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 2>running on the latest version of seventeen. Check for an update.

260
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Go to your settings, hit general and hit software Update

261
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think it's iOS seventeen point seven. That's the latest.

262
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>Then you're gonna go to eighteen. Always keep your phone

263
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:43.840
<v Speaker 2>up today. That's what you need to do. And at

264
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 2>that point hit the button download. It's gonna take a while.

265
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Cross your fingers, cross your heart, crosh your chest, go

266
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 2>to church, talk to your rabbi, whatever it is, and

267
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you're set to go. But again, that's what you need

268
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:05.399
<v Speaker 2>to know before you update. A lot of people skip

269
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 2>a few things. A lot of people skip, Oh, I

270
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 2>don't need to back up. I haven't really lost anything

271
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>over the years that I've actually had to back up anything.

272
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But when I get a new I test laptops all

273
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 2>the time. I mean, I swear I love a sus

274
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>as US computer company. I mean, I have like a

275
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 2>relationship with my ups guy. I think I've gotten three

276
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>new Asus aces laptops over the past week or so,

277
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and I test them all. They're really cool. But what

278
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.159
<v Speaker 2>I do, I kind of I set them up and

279
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I use my you know, account information Google account and

280
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>whatever I use with at Microsoft account. But then I

281
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>back them up and everything. It's good because sometimes there

282
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.759
<v Speaker 2>are little, you know, hiccups in the giddy up, if

283
00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 2>you will, So you got to back, back, back, back up,

284
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>always back up things. You know, if you don't have

285
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 2>your think about it. How many photos and videos do

286
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>you have right now on your phone and they're sitting there?

287
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:03.080
<v Speaker 2>What happens if you lose it and you've got pictures

288
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>of your kids, your spouse, your vacation. Just pick them

289
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>up to the cloud. At least I don't just back

290
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 2>mine up to the cloud. I back my phones up

291
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>on a relatively regular basis to my actual hard drive

292
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.759
<v Speaker 2>my computer at home. So I have two places. I

293
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>got them in the clown, but I also got them

294
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.759
<v Speaker 2>on my hard drove and I've gone back for years.

295
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and I use Samsung's a lot, but I

296
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>see my Samsung four folder. And I don't even know

297
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>if my youngest son twenty whatever years ago was born

298
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 2>when the Samsung four wasn't around. I kid you a bit,

299
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's how long I go back. I tried to

300
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 2>do it every several months, especially when I come back

301
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 2>from trips. I had a lot of travel this summer,

302
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>international trips, and I don't want to lose that stuff,

303
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and so I back back, back it up, and it's

304
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.200
<v Speaker 2>just just a little reminder of what you need to do.

305
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, questions, I am here for you seven one three,

306
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>two one two five nine five up. Here's another thing.

307
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't talk a lot about drones. Who's got drones?

308
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 2>I haven't. I remember when drones were like really big

309
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.119
<v Speaker 2>coming out. I remember at CES Consumer Electronics Show there

310
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 2>was one or two or three drone companies back about

311
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 2>twelve years ago. It's about twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. There

312
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 2>is now an entire hall within the Las Vegas Convention

313
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Center every January at the Consumer Electronics Show, whereas nothing

314
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 2>but drones, and drones do more than just here's a

315
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.119
<v Speaker 2>little drone, you know, let me just send it up

316
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and see what the top of my house looks like

317
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>in the industrial use of drones is very big. Police departments,

318
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>fire departments use drones. They actually can have heat sensing,

319
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, radar and light r on them

320
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to see if there's people inside burning houses. Police departments

321
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 2>use them to actually chase people on foot so they

322
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 2>can you know, easily find out where somebody is in

323
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 2>a hot pursuit of something. There's a lot of things

324
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 2>going on with drones. There is a an act that

325
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>is that is trying to be a law, a government

326
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.160
<v Speaker 2>US government law that is trying to put the cabash

327
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:11.119
<v Speaker 2>on one particular manufacturer of drones because it is a

328
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 2>foreign may drone and they think there's you know, US

329
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.640
<v Speaker 2>intelligence secrets out there. I'm going to talk to someone

330
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.400
<v Speaker 2>within the company and I'm gonna let them explain why

331
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 2>they think it's upoo and popa and I'll let you decide.

332
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Clot drone talk coming up on the High Tech Jackson Show. Indeed,

333
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.880
<v Speaker 2>our back Michael Garfield is the name. It is called

334
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 2>the High Tech Textan Show. Whether you're listening to us

335
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>truly all across the state of Texas or southwest around

336
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the world, and I are radio, we do thank you

337
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 2>for tuning in. It is my job for two plus decades.

338
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's to answer all your questions, give

339
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:53.039
<v Speaker 2>you my opinions on some of the great phenomenal consumer

340
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:55.839
<v Speaker 2>lifestyle products. Obviously leaning a little bit towards tech and

341
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>some of the things to stay away from. But I

342
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 2>am here phone number seven one three, two, one two

343
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>five nine to five ozho not too far from the

344
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 2>holiday gift giving seasons, cees is around the court always

345
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 2>let my favorite time of the year, especially because you know,

346
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 2>so many new products are coming out. You see a

347
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of deals and sales, you know, be it Black Friday,

348
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Cyber Mondays, and then that flows into CEES which I

349
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.720
<v Speaker 2>get to see all the cool stuff and it including

350
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I brought this topic. It's come up recently, including the drones.

351
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, drones are fun, but drones they're not only fun,

352
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:33.119
<v Speaker 2>they're they're some industries that are actually life saving. Seriously,

353
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.599
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of great uses that drones can do.

354
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a drone expert. I continue to need to

355
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.359
<v Speaker 2>fly and perfect my drone skills. But you know, one

356
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 2>of the leading, if not the leading company around the

357
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 2>world when it comes to drones and other technology for

358
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 2>that matter, it's d J. I you've probably familiar with them,

359
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 2>and I was. I found out not too long ago.

360
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>There's actually some there's things going on with the government,

361
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the US government as it pertains to drones and specifically DJI,

362
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I know I'm going to get pestry

363
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 2>for questions, and so I figured get it. Let me

364
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.079
<v Speaker 2>research a little bit more. And the easiest way for

365
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.079
<v Speaker 2>me to research, because I'm a lazy guy, is actually

366
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>go to the source, and so I contacted the folks

367
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 2>at DJI and I found Wayne Baker. Wayne Baker ironically

368
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>is based in the great state of Texas. He joins me, Wayne,

369
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you joining me, and what I want to

370
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about is something called the Countering ccp Drone Act

371
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and how it affects everything. But I do welcome you

372
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 2>to the High Tech Texting Show.

373
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.599
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you, thank you for having me on. It's

374
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 4>always great to talk to a fellow Texan. Just a

375
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 4>little bit about my background for your listeners. I actually

376
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 4>started out I was a firefighter here in the North

377
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Texas area. You know, I started looking at drones, as

378
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned, as a life saving tool for the community

379
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 4>we served as well as my firefighters, and it grew

380
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 4>from there, you know, initially just we wanted that view

381
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 4>from above, and then it grew to where we were

382
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 4>dropping life jackets to people and water rescues. We began

383
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:13.400
<v Speaker 4>working with DJI on thermal imaging cameras and pushed them

384
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 4>to uh you know, initially they were just drones you

385
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 4>could buy a Best buy and we were taking them

386
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.400
<v Speaker 4>and these these off the shelf drones and adapting to

387
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 4>our purpose and we're we're in the police and fire

388
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 4>service were the ones that really pushed ej I to

389
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:35.440
<v Speaker 4>start creating these drones, uh, the industrial strength drones for

390
00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:38.759
<v Speaker 4>what we needed. So you know, we've and we've seen

391
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:43.720
<v Speaker 4>countless successes with saving lives all around the world, but

392
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 4>most recently your listeners would would have heard about uh,

393
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina where drones were not only finding uh you know,

394
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 4>hurricane flood victims, but then later on uh into it

395
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.279
<v Speaker 4>so they were located. They were using some of our

396
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.319
<v Speaker 4>bigger drones, actually our agricultural drones that normally do spraying

397
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.480
<v Speaker 4>of crops. They were using them to carry and deliver food, water,

398
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 4>and medicine. Be getting to your question, I apologize, but

399
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:24.000
<v Speaker 4>the counting CCP Drones Act is really threatening the freedom

400
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 4>of choice of people in various industries, from the life

401
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 4>saving tools it is for public safety, to even just

402
00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 4>people that want to have this as a hobby, because

403
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:43.279
<v Speaker 4>it's looking to restrict the market by removing certain products,

404
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 4>specifically DJI products from the market. All with you know,

405
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 4>it originally started with this narrative that was proven not

406
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 4>to be true that DJI is stealing data and sending

407
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 4>it back. And we've had numerous studies that have own

408
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 4>that to not be true. Most recently we had a

409
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.680
<v Speaker 4>group FTI that did an audit just a few weeks

410
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:11.240
<v Speaker 4>ago came out with it saying there was no data

411
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:17.680
<v Speaker 4>security risk of DJI. But you know, this has changed,

412
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 4>this narrative against the you know, our products has changed

413
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:27.599
<v Speaker 4>from that then too. Well, we need American manufacturers to

414
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 4>be able to compete against DJI, and and you know,

415
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 4>we understand that American manufacturers. You know, we DJI have

416
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:43.720
<v Speaker 4>been selling our products on the market since around twenty twelve,

417
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.119
<v Speaker 4>so we we had a really good start into the

418
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:54.519
<v Speaker 4>market and US manufacturers are you know, several years behind.

419
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 4>But we just don't feel like the way to provide

420
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:04.000
<v Speaker 4>competition is to remove competition. That's that's counterintuitive. In our opinion,

421
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 4>it makes sense.

422
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Wayne Baker joining me, he is with DJI specifically talking

423
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>about piece of legislation is called the Countering ccp Drone Act,

424
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:16.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know it to make sure that we all

425
00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>know DJI parent company, it is based in China. And

426
00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 2>I firstly and probably many of my listeners and viewers

427
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:25.400
<v Speaker 2>out there, I mean they you know, we've seen this

428
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>in other industries, the cell phone, the smartphone industry that

429
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.200
<v Speaker 2>it goes back where you know a lot of the

430
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 2>cell phones that were manufactured Chinese, you know their band

431
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you see this more as you know from the

432
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>US government standpoint you are they are they trying to

433
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>protect the safety of Americans and security or could it

434
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:49.799
<v Speaker 2>be more of a business decision? You know, we just

435
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 2>want the US to kind of catch up and sell

436
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 2>more domestically.

437
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 4>Made well that you actually point out how the goalpost

438
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 4>keeps moving UH on the target towards uh dj I

439
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:05.680
<v Speaker 4>and some others. Is that you know, get it. It

440
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 4>did started out with when we're were we need to

441
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 4>protect Americans from data security and that's a that's a

442
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 4>justifiable concern, absolutely except for the fact that again, as

443
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.599
<v Speaker 4>I mentioned, we have been vetted on numerous occasions, UH

444
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.960
<v Speaker 4>to not be a security risk. And then when when

445
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:30.279
<v Speaker 4>that when that uh you know line was now proven

446
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 4>not to be true, then it became well, now we

447
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 4>need as you mentioned, we need to protect our market

448
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 4>and allow American UH to you know, manufacturers to step

449
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.720
<v Speaker 4>up and compete. And I and I look back to

450
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm old enough to remember back when this during the

451
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:57.319
<v Speaker 4>seventies eighties was what we did with Japanese auto manufacturers

452
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:04.319
<v Speaker 4>and other you know, Japanese products, and protectionism then didn't work,

453
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 4>and it's not good now, it's not good for the market.

454
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 4>And we're talking drones are still a very new product

455
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 4>out there and still being adopted into a lot of

456
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 4>industries and bringing a lot of safety to those industries

457
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 4>and as well as a lot of efficiency to those industries,

458
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, everything from oil and gas pipeline and being

459
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 4>able to catch pipeline leaks in North Texas before you

460
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 4>know they get to where they create an environmental hazard

461
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:42.599
<v Speaker 4>is one way drones are being used. So you know

462
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 4>again that protectionism can cause adverse effects. You know, it's shortsightedness,

463
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.480
<v Speaker 4>whereas long term. I mean absolutely, we want to see

464
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 4>and I would love to work for a US manufacturer.

465
00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Not that I don't like working for or DJI, it's

466
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.440
<v Speaker 4>a great company, but obviously I would want to work

467
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.640
<v Speaker 4>for US manufacturer. Unfortunately, we don't have one that is

468
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 4>able to provide the products that we're seeing now at

469
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:20.440
<v Speaker 4>a good cost, with exceptional capabilities from our zoom cameras

470
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 4>to our thermal image and cameras, and it just right now,

471
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 4>this is the company that's able to help me continue

472
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.640
<v Speaker 4>that life saving mission that I've had my whole life.

473
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Essentially, I can't concur I've seen some of the newer

474
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>models that the DJI just has come out with from

475
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>the consumer level, I mean, they're relatively inexpensive and they're

476
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>getting continued to getting smart. As we continue with Wayne Baker,

477
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 2>he's with DJI. What's current status right now on Capitol

478
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Hill with this Act?

479
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, it has passed the House of Representatives, although as

480
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.000
<v Speaker 4>we know from those of us that were younger and

481
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:04.279
<v Speaker 4>saw the cartoon in school about how a bill is

482
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.039
<v Speaker 4>becomes a law, so it has moved on to the

483
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Senate and sits at the Senate right now. Uh, and

484
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 4>that's where we're we're trying to really you know, people

485
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 4>ask a lot of times what do we do at

486
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:24.599
<v Speaker 4>this point? And its education. A lot of it is legislators,

487
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:28.359
<v Speaker 4>you know, are are hearing one side of the story

488
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:32.920
<v Speaker 4>and don't always understand the technology and the capabilities or

489
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:38.759
<v Speaker 4>the limitations of the drones. And so we're really trying

490
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.359
<v Speaker 4>to engage on a lot of different fronts to educate

491
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:47.400
<v Speaker 4>legislators on the technology but also the impact that this

492
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 4>would have.

493
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>You readed a new jingle I'm just a drone as

494
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm only a drone.

495
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it goes through my head every time we take exactly.

496
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, going back to the school house rock days, I

497
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.359
<v Speaker 2>do remember that quite, you know, very very well. But

498
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>it was about how to engage with your local representatives

499
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to you know, to start bills and laws. And in

500
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>our conversation with that, how how can people stay aware

501
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.440
<v Speaker 2>of developments with the countering CCP Drone Act and engage

502
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 2>with their local reps.

503
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 4>And that is a great question and I appreciate the

504
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:25.920
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to mention. There's there's two big groups that have formed. Uh.

505
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:31.160
<v Speaker 4>One is the Drone Advocacy Alliance, and this is a

506
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 4>lot of industry partners and and what we call our ecosystem,

507
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 4>so not just you know, the drones, but the businesses

508
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.680
<v Speaker 4>that have created products to go with the drones, the

509
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 4>software to you know, enhance the capabilities of the drones.

510
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:52.599
<v Speaker 4>So Drone Advocacy Alliance is really engaged with Congress to

511
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.799
<v Speaker 4>explain the impact it would have on their businesses. You know,

512
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 4>there's there's other groups for those that fly drones just

513
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.039
<v Speaker 4>as a hobby. They're Facebook groups that are out there

514
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.480
<v Speaker 4>that you can become a part of that help share knowledge.

515
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 4>And what's great about those is it's not just legislative,

516
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, hey, how do I do this with

517
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 4>my drone? Or or is there a better way to

518
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, get my images to look nicer? Things like that.

519
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 4>They share a lot of information, so you know, those

520
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 4>are two of the biggest ways. And then reaching out

521
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 4>to your local elected officials, your state senators even uh

522
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, your your local you know, county elected officials

523
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.400
<v Speaker 4>to explain to them why why it would impact them,

524
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.319
<v Speaker 4>because everybody's voice gets heard, and the education even down

525
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:58.519
<v Speaker 4>to that level is so much better for you know,

526
00:31:58.680 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 4>keeping this from becoming real.

527
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 2>That is great information and great resources. Wayne Baker with

528
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>DJI talking about the countering ccp drone Act. Do me

529
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a favor of the next time you come on, We're

530
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about adjectives and adverbs. You can explain

531
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:17.079
<v Speaker 2>that it works. Also the school health Rock Day. Yeah, listen,

532
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 2>congrats your success, great information, and good luck with all

533
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>of your endeavors with what you're doing with DJI.

534
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, I appreciate it and thank you again.

535
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.960

<v Speaker 2>Drone Talk seven one three two one two five nine

542
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:51.480
<v Speaker 2>five Oh. Thanks to Wayne Baker for his time. He

543
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:56.720
<v Speaker 2>is with DJI. DJI big company and they make more

544
00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 2>than drones. They are a leader, if not the leader,

545
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 2>worldwide one it comes to drones. But they also make

546
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>a number of different things. They make some really good

547
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>wireless microphones, some gimbals for all you vloggers influencers out there,

548
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 2>We want to put your phone on these little handeld

549
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 2>little gimble devices for smooth shots. I tested out the

550
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:23.119
<v Speaker 2>DJI Mike to their second version of their wireless mics.

551
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty strong. It's pretty strong. Two hundred fifty ish

552
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.839
<v Speaker 2>dollars or so. Two wireless mikes, a receiver that plugs

553
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.680
<v Speaker 2>into your phone, be it the iPhone or the Android,

554
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.319
<v Speaker 2>and the range is you got a several hundred feet

555
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>of a way because it's lighting in audio. A little

556
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.720
<v Speaker 2>tip for me to you. Lighting and audio are absolutely

557
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 2>key when you're shooting video.

558
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 5>Now.

559
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>This is something I learned forty years ago when I

560
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:55.920
<v Speaker 2>was a radio TV film major at college. Some people

561
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:58.160
<v Speaker 2>nowadays they forget it. I mean, it's just so funny

562
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:03.319
<v Speaker 2>when I see some people do videos and they're standing

563
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't they have somebody shoot it for him, and

564
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.279
<v Speaker 2>they're ten feet away from the camera. I just can't

565
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.199
<v Speaker 2>hear them. So audio is very good. So and again

566
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>this is not an endorsement. I wish it was, do

567
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I wish dj I sponsored my show. On many levels,

568
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 2>it's just one of the better wireless microphones out there. Yes,

569
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>there are a number of other wireless microphones. You could

570
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:25.239
<v Speaker 2>find no name ones on Amazon for thirty forty fifty

571
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.599
<v Speaker 2>sixty dollars, but the ones I tested out specifically from

572
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.719
<v Speaker 2>dji if you tuned in a few weeks ago, are

573
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:36.559
<v Speaker 2>very good. But you know, drones, I don't know. On

574
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.440
<v Speaker 2>one hand, I see why the US government wants to

575
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.360
<v Speaker 2>make this a law that they don't want a Chinese

576
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 2>own company controlling the drone airwaves. They think they're gonna

577
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 2>map and data everything. I get it is that the reason,

578
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.360
<v Speaker 2>or as I pointed out the interview, is it because

579
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 2>the US is trying to protect our and I'm gonna

580
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 2>use the word our market share more. US companies need

581
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to you know, produce products and we should purchase them

582
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:10.400
<v Speaker 2>before we purchase foreign things. And this is not just

583
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:16.719
<v Speaker 2>in technology gadgets, it is it is smartphones. There's a

584
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:20.400
<v Speaker 2>smartphone manufacturer out of China called Huawei h u a

585
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>h Ei or something like that. Years ago. It was

586
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 2>then President Trump. He said no, no, no, they're not

587
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be sold at all because the Chinese has

588
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.760
<v Speaker 2>all the data that we don't want them smartphones over here.

589
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Look look at what Biden's doing with cars with evs.

590
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:42.039
<v Speaker 2>There are Chinese made evs that are superior and much

591
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 2>less expensive than the evs we have here. I mean

592
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.079
<v Speaker 2>minuscule in terms of the costs. But the US government

593
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 2>wants to put a tariff sometimes what fifty to one

594
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent extra tariff or a charge to ship these

595
00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.119
<v Speaker 2>things here the yes, which at at that point it

596
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make sense. I mean, listen, politics is above my

597
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 2>pay grade. Politics is something I don't carry. Politics is

598
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 2>one of the reasons I don't have a lot of

599
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 2>gray hair. I don't worry about it too much because

600
00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:12.639
<v Speaker 2>can't we just all get along?

601
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Man?

602
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did you have a problem when Sony and

603
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:18.599
<v Speaker 2>I know this Japanese years ago came out and just

604
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:22.920
<v Speaker 2>owned like the home audio, the portable audio market, the

605
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 2>TVs back then. I just thought everybody's up in arms.

606
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 2>And again I'm a naive boy. What do you expect

607
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.039
<v Speaker 2>that's what you're gonna do? But again, this is why

608
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I because I start a conversation seven one three two

609
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 2>one two five nine five zero. This portion of the

610
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.880
<v Speaker 2>show brought to you by Total Wireless. They're not a

611
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:45.639
<v Speaker 2>cell phone manufacturer, but this is a data provider. Listen,

612
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>you can get any cell phone you want. You get

613
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:49.840
<v Speaker 2>the Apple, you can get the Android. You do need

614
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.760
<v Speaker 2>to connect it to something because if not, it becomes

615
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.280
<v Speaker 2>a brick. Total Wireless they have stores all across the

616
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Houston area and actually all across the country going to

617
00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:59.239
<v Speaker 2>some of the stores. They've got a number of different

618
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>phenomenal plan where you don't need to pay full boat.

619
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I've got a plan where I think, I'm what is

620
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:07.000
<v Speaker 2>it all? You can eat for one line?

621
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Just me?

622
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Is it a forty dollars fifty dollars

623
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.559
<v Speaker 2>also includes like a Disney Plus subscription. They also have

624
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:18.599
<v Speaker 2>a five G home wireless Internet, so no longer do

625
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:24.239
<v Speaker 2>you have to rely on cable or radio internet. This

626
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.079
<v Speaker 2>is over the year, so five G home wireless Internet

627
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.400
<v Speaker 2>comes over cell towers and Total Wireless actually through Verizon

628
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.519
<v Speaker 2>they offer it. I've been using it for about three

629
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 2>months and it works pretty well. It really does. It

630
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>is fast that I just you buy a router, which

631
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>is nothing. It's a one time charge. I have it

632
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of my house and it's throwing out

633
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:44.320
<v Speaker 2>a very strong, powerful WiFi saying no, it's a good

634
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 2>way to save money. So holiday gift gus giving season

<v Speaker 2>the longest listener that I've had here and my parents

654
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas. He even stopped listening sometime. Not dumb trug

655
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:48.199
<v Speaker 2>damn man. Every week is like I can even hear

656
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.920
<v Speaker 2>his voice in the email. Hey man, I got me

657
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:54.360
<v Speaker 2>an androys oone love. I love my man, so thank

658
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.679
<v Speaker 2>you for emailing and my buddy. But anyway, somebody sent

659
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 2>me an email Michael Garfield atomedia dot com. Hey Garf,

660
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I just what do you think about these air tags

661
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>or these wireless little devices that track you. I was

662
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 2>thinking about getting one to put on my kids because

663
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:11.920
<v Speaker 2>he's a young kid. Put it in his school backpack

664
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.199
<v Speaker 2>or maybe his lunch or something like that. Do these

665
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>things work? And any other crazy place that you've heard

666
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:19.800
<v Speaker 2>where some people wanted to track something? Where did they

667
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:25.000
<v Speaker 2>place the air tags? That's from Jonathan. Jonathan is in Pairland. Funny.

668
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:30.719
<v Speaker 2>It's good question. Apple air tags and Samsung has them too,

669
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and a number of other companies say to actually make

670
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.760
<v Speaker 2>these things. Tile is another one. T I L E Chippotlo.

671
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Not Chipotle, but c I h PO L t O Chippotlo.

672
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Actually that's one of the ones I'm using right now.

673
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Pretty amazing. They're little, tiny size of a quarter a

674
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.760
<v Speaker 2>half dollar, fit on your keychain. You can put them anywhere.

675
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:56.239
<v Speaker 2>They could be used for ill gotten purposes, but let's

676
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>just keep it above the line that you actually think

677
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna lose your keys, you're gonna lose your luggage.

678
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:03.039
<v Speaker 2>I've heard the funny stories of where people have put them,

679
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.079
<v Speaker 2>number one. Yeah, you can put them in your backpack.

680
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:08.400
<v Speaker 2>You could put them in your kids backpack all right,

681
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:10.119
<v Speaker 2>and in case you want to know where your kid is,

682
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.199
<v Speaker 2>which is always good for safety. But kids lose things,

683
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.920
<v Speaker 2>put them inside your laptop bag laptop bats because they

684
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>can easily be left behind if you're at a coffee

685
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.760
<v Speaker 2>shop or at your office. You forgot it in a

686
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:26.559
<v Speaker 2>car or something. Put it in your jacket pocket. How

687
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.039
<v Speaker 2>many times have you left your coat behind in a

688
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:32.000
<v Speaker 2>restaurant or at a friend's house forgetting to grab your

689
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 2>jacket when you head out. It's easy to do, could

690
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 2>be hanging right. What you do is you turn on

691
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.119
<v Speaker 2>your phone. There's an app that comes with it, and

692
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 2>it bepep it. Somehow suddenly finds it in your house

693
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>or wherever it is. Sometimes around the world, speaking around

694
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the world. When I traveled outside of the country earlier

695
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.679
<v Speaker 2>this year, twice I put a few of these air

696
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:56.559
<v Speaker 2>tags inside my luggage because airports can be tricky to navigate.

697
00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's tough. You don't know where your luggage ends up.

698
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.199
<v Speaker 2>Times it waits thirty minutes for your bag to roll

699
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 2>off the conveyor belt. Sometimes they get lost, so put

700
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.800
<v Speaker 2>it in your luggage, and again you can move these

701
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:11.679
<v Speaker 2>at any given time. You can find out if your

702
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:13.400
<v Speaker 2>bags are left on the airplane, if they're on the

703
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 2>conveyor belt. And once you find out where your bags are,

704
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:18.440
<v Speaker 2>you actually can remedy where you're going. Because a map

705
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.440
<v Speaker 2>pops up, you actually can set it to make a

706
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.239
<v Speaker 2>tone or make a beep or something, and so a

707
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:26.480
<v Speaker 2>number of different things. I heard hikers and campers. Somebody

708
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:30.360
<v Speaker 2>put it in their tent. If you're setting up camp

709
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in a location you've never visited, pretty useful to put

710
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.960
<v Speaker 2>an an air tag or something in your tent so

711
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:39.280
<v Speaker 2>you could find your camp site. People can find you

712
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:42.639
<v Speaker 2>if you've hiked several miles away from camp. There's nothing

713
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that you can't put it. Okay, we're getting ready to

714
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:46.360
<v Speaker 2>take a break. I don't need to hear that some

715
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.440
<v Speaker 2>wife put an AirTag in their husband's car. Don't need

716
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:52.719
<v Speaker 2>to hear that, because I keep things above the line. Okay,

717
00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of networks that'll actually use the thing,

718
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.599
<v Speaker 2>and they're not that expensive. And so if you've heard

719
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:00.480
<v Speaker 2>of any crazier stories, I'm taking a take for five

720
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.559
<v Speaker 2>six minutes to the top of the hour, come back

721
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:04.639
<v Speaker 2>and we'll pick up your phone call seven one three

722
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.800
<v Speaker 2>two one two five nine five. On the other side, subscriptions,

723
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.599
<v Speaker 2>they're easy to start, but they are just a pain

724
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:15.039
<v Speaker 2>in that you know at the cancel. Unless something changes

725
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:17.239
<v Speaker 2>what they think it's about to, you're gonna like this story.

726
00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going up on a side on the high Tech

00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:30.559
<v Speaker 2>in Austin. My grandparents were in Austin. Austin used to

743
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:33.760
<v Speaker 2>be very sleepy town one hundred years ago. My grandfather

744
00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:36.719
<v Speaker 2>was born, very sleepy town. I remember going to visit

745
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.360
<v Speaker 2>my grandparents the nineteen seventies. I mean there was no

746
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:43.119
<v Speaker 2>mo Pack, there was no Dell, there was no traffic

747
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.800
<v Speaker 2>or anything. Even in the eighties when I was in college,

748
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:51.400
<v Speaker 2>it was a relatively kind of sweet, cool town. Nowadays,

749
00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:55.480
<v Speaker 2>it's overcrowded, it is packed is it's expensive. I still go.

750
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:59.199
<v Speaker 2>My youngest son lives there, my ma Ma mat is there.

751
00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I go as many games as I can. It's it's

752
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.880
<v Speaker 2>tough to go to. So not only is the biggest

753
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.079
<v Speaker 2>college football game of the year so far there tonight

754
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Texas versus Georgia, it's also F one weekend. F one

755
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:17.800
<v Speaker 2>is a racing series, and there's only three F one

756
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.199
<v Speaker 2>races in the United States in a given year. It's

757
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:23.880
<v Speaker 2>a worldwide circle, but there's only three in the United States.

758
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Ones in Miami, ones in Austin, and ones in Vegas.

759
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>And oh, by the way, some smart dude put it

760
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.400
<v Speaker 2>on the same weekend as Texas versus Georgia. Oh and

761
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.239
<v Speaker 2>by the way, I think Eminem has his win and

762
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:38.119
<v Speaker 2>only concert of the year. Oh, it's it's it's it's

763
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, just just watch it on TV. So

764
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 2>we are I don't know about what five and a

765
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.599
<v Speaker 2>half hours, six and six and a half hours from kickoff?

766
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 2>So horns up. You know, I bleed orange and that's

767
00:44:48.880 --> 00:44:51.039
<v Speaker 2>how it works. But should you be an aggie? Should

768
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you be a sooner? Sucks for you? I know, I'm

769
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.440
<v Speaker 2>not kidding about that. I do appreciate you tuning in.

770
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:58.599
<v Speaker 2>I will still answer your questions and talk to you

771
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:02.239
<v Speaker 2>at seven one three two one two five nine five.

772
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Great weather this pass week? Do you agree? Very rarely

773
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:10.719
<v Speaker 2>do you hear me say great outstanding weather in Euston

774
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 2>because I cannot stand the weather in Houston. I just

775
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it's it's, you know, April, May, June, July, August, September,

776
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:19.920
<v Speaker 2>sometimes to October. I don't know what happened, man, They

777
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 2>just flipped the switch a few days ago, and it

778
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:27.119
<v Speaker 2>is spectacular. It is fall, my favorite holiday of the year, uh,

779
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.760
<v Speaker 2>including religious holidays. Alla, Wayne, don't know what it is.

780
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I actually I do know what it is. I mean,

781
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:34.519
<v Speaker 2>where else, what other time? What other night of the

782
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:36.639
<v Speaker 2>year can you just go up and knock on a

783
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:41.920
<v Speaker 2>perfect stranger's house and say, gimmerishim candy gimmerishim candy and

784
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:45.119
<v Speaker 2>they just give you some freaking candy. The weather's cooling,

785
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.599
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's it's football season. It's awesome part of

786
00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the tradition, you know, I always say, what's your favorite candy?

787
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't even play that game anymore. Oh, here's the

788
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.960
<v Speaker 2>worst of the top candies. Shut up. It's a Reese's

789
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:58.760
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter cups into stories. So I'm not doing that game.

790
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.079
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you this though. Another tradition of Halloween,

791
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it's watching some Halloween specials. And there is only one

792
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:09.320
<v Speaker 2>and only Halloween special, certainly of my age, it is.

793
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.840
<v Speaker 2>It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I grew up in

794
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:17.440
<v Speaker 2>a time late seventies, early eighties kid, and all of

795
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:21.119
<v Speaker 2>the Charlie Brown specials they were on CBS. They were

796
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:24.199
<v Speaker 2>sponsored by Dolly Madison. I can see the start of

797
00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:26.800
<v Speaker 2>it where it goes. It was a CBS special with

798
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:31.119
<v Speaker 2>a little circular cartoonish graphic and every commercial is Dolly Madison.

799
00:46:31.679 --> 00:46:34.599
<v Speaker 2>It was just awesome. You know, my childhoods are so

800
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:36.519
<v Speaker 2>much different today than they were back in the day,

801
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:39.920
<v Speaker 2>and I really have good memories nowadays. I don't even

802
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.199
<v Speaker 2>know where a lot of these Charlie Brown specials are.

803
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:46.280
<v Speaker 2>But I am here for you because I have the answers,

804
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.519
<v Speaker 2>and this is the weekend. People, get your pen and

<v Speaker 2>four years right now. Not just a pumpkin, it's the

827
00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Brown Christmas, which is such a class I don't

828
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.639
<v Speaker 2>even celebrate Christmas, but I've got to watch Charlie Brown Christmas,

829
00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:28.639
<v Speaker 2>all the Charles Schultz peunut specials. So good for you,

830
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Apple TV. There you go, gather the kids. What's the

831
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:36.760
<v Speaker 2>hottest Halloween costume this year? I look at calam Reid Collens.

832
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.599
<v Speaker 2>My guy, you're young guy. What's the hottest costume? I

833
00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:42.360
<v Speaker 2>heard it could be that weird chick who was in

834
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics from Australia who was doing break dancing. That

835
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 2>could be one. I mean, I think we're past the

836
00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Swist Travis Kelcey thing. I think that was kind

837
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:56.039
<v Speaker 2>of last year. You know you're gonna see it this

838
00:48:56.119 --> 00:49:00.800
<v Speaker 2>year too. It's an election year. Generally election you're gonna

839
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:02.920
<v Speaker 2>get the two major candidates, so you're gonna get Trump

840
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:09.119
<v Speaker 2>and you're gonna get a come out. Who else help

841
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:10.960
<v Speaker 2>me out over here? I'll open up for a few minutes.

842
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:13.280
<v Speaker 2>What are you going as? What are your kids going as? Seven?

843
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:18.679
<v Speaker 2>One three, two one two five nine five zero. Additionally,

844
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you got ghosts, you got goblins, you got pumpkins. I

845
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:26.199
<v Speaker 2>need to actually borrow somebody's little kid. I'm gonna tell

846
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you why, and I tell you how much I love Halloween.

847
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.719
<v Speaker 2>And when I was a kid, I have fond memories

848
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.320
<v Speaker 2>of going out with my buddies on Halloween and we

849
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.480
<v Speaker 2>would stay out school night or not. We would stay

850
00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:43.840
<v Speaker 2>out till like eleven o'clock. I mean the fort lights

851
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 2>would be off and we're knocking on doors. And again,

852
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.960
<v Speaker 2>this is in the late seventies, and this is when

853
00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:52.239
<v Speaker 2>times were safer. We didn't have cell phones. We didn't

854
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.320
<v Speaker 2>need to report inn call mom or dad. There were

855
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:56.559
<v Speaker 2>no trackers on us. We just did it and they

856
00:49:56.559 --> 00:50:00.039
<v Speaker 2>trusted us. School be damn the next day, man and

857
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I would come back with pounds and pounds and pounds

858
00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:07.159
<v Speaker 2>of candy. Fast forward, I had kids, and I love

859
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.239
<v Speaker 2>my boys. My boys are my life. My boys are

860
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:12.559
<v Speaker 2>now thirty, twenty seven and twenty four. They're too old

861
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:17.320
<v Speaker 2>technically to trick or treat. I tell people that I

862
00:50:17.480 --> 00:50:19.920
<v Speaker 2>had kids for one reason, so I could use them,

863
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:21.679
<v Speaker 2>so I could trick or treat when I was in

864
00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 2>my thirties, when I had these kids. My son, my

865
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:26.800
<v Speaker 2>oldest son, was born in August. He's thirty years old.

866
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Three months later, two months later, when it was Halloween time,

867
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I dressed this kid up as a pumpkin. He was

868
00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:35.880
<v Speaker 2>sleeping the entire night. What was he August Obteber two

869
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:37.679
<v Speaker 2>months old? He was two and a half months old.

870
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.519
<v Speaker 2>He was sleeping. I don't care. He was in my arms,

871
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:44.079
<v Speaker 2>my butt was knocking on doors, saying trick or treat,

872
00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:48.119
<v Speaker 2>holding up a bag, asking for candy for my little son,

873
00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:52.280
<v Speaker 2>and they still gave it to me. Now, my kids

874
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.760
<v Speaker 2>are too old. They don't live here in the city

875
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:57.840
<v Speaker 2>for the most part. Need a borrow kid seven one

876
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:00.639
<v Speaker 2>three two one two five five. I'll go through a check.

877
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine. Actually, parents, you can even come with me.

878
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Get on my segue. We can make up twice the

879
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:09.440
<v Speaker 2>amount of time. It's all good. Happy Halloway. And by

880
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, if you want to thank me for all

881
00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I've done for you for twenty two years, Reese's peanut

882
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:17.280
<v Speaker 2>butter cups, and I will take the Reese's pumpkin shaped

883
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.079
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter cups because sometimes those are even better. I digress.

884
00:51:21.360 --> 00:51:23.119
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, there is more high Tech text

885
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:25.199
<v Speaker 2>and I will get to the heart of the matter things.

886
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Talk a little about cars. Also, I got to see

887
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:33.800
<v Speaker 2>and dry the brand new unseen not in deliciahips yet

888
00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty five Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban. You're

889
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:40.920
<v Speaker 2>looking for a big car of the O Mama car

890
00:51:41.280 --> 00:51:43.880
<v Speaker 2>a land boat needed to play by play because I

891
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.079
<v Speaker 2>have seen it. The embargo is lifted and I'm allowed

892
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to talk about it. Coming out on the High Tech

893
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Text and Show. About sixteen seventeen minutes past second hour

894
00:51:56.280 --> 00:51:59.639
<v Speaker 2>of this radio show. This is how I've spent my Saturday.

895
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:03.719
<v Speaker 2>He's over one third of my life. I'm not aging

896
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:07.199
<v Speaker 2>or dating myself. But it's been well over twenty years

897
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and that a lot of people here who have stuck

898
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:11.559
<v Speaker 2>with me, and I do thank you for that. Michael Garfield.

899
00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It's called The High Tech Textan Show. The show has

900
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:18.719
<v Speaker 2>evolved a lot since I started way back in the

901
00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:21.960
<v Speaker 2>day in the early two thousands, where I was just

902
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:26.639
<v Speaker 2>talking about straight technology and gadgets and Wi Fi and

903
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:31.199
<v Speaker 2>high def TVs and computers. We have now grown to

904
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:36.039
<v Speaker 2>really consumer lifestyle stuff where I do have the good

905
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:40.360
<v Speaker 2>fortune of playing with a lot of neat things, including

906
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:44.960
<v Speaker 2>cars and trucks and fashion, and I get to drink

907
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:48.400
<v Speaker 2>cool things bourbons and Vodkas and tequilas at company's and

908
00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Mecause I don't know, I tell it like it is.

909
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't hold back. But when I really do find

910
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:57.400
<v Speaker 2>something that I enjoy, I love that I think you like,

911
00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be all the way behind it. If something

912
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:04.199
<v Speaker 2>is a little too expensive, or I find something that

913
00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:06.239
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a better option, I'm more than happy

914
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to tell you too, so uh trust me. That is

915
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:11.000
<v Speaker 2>what I'm here for. If you want to talk, say

916
00:53:11.039 --> 00:53:15.239
<v Speaker 2>hi seven one three two one two five nine five oho.

917
00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:18.639
<v Speaker 2>If you too shy to talk, you can find me

918
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:21.880
<v Speaker 2>on a lot of the social media at high Tech

919

922
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:37.000
<v Speaker 2>at through some emails here Michael Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com.

923
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll get to some of that stuff actually two things.

924
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I got to pay these things off. I've been teasing

925
00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:45.760
<v Speaker 2>some of these things. First of all, about these subscriptions too.

926
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get the cars here in a sec. Probably

927
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:52.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna be subscriptions. How many subscriptions do you have across

928
00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the board? And when I say subscriptions, I mean yes,

929
00:53:56.280 --> 00:54:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean you'd subscribe to Cable book Club magazines. You

930
00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:04.039
<v Speaker 2>still may be in the CBS CD club where you

931
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:07.039
<v Speaker 2>get eleven CDs for one benny and they're steal emailing

932
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:10.079
<v Speaker 2>you or mailing them to you. You can sign up

933
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.440
<v Speaker 2>for newsletters a number of things. It's easy to sign up,

934
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:17.679
<v Speaker 2>so it's sometimes it's one click and you're gone. Here

935
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I try to unsubscribe. That's a pain in that, you

936
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.440
<v Speaker 2>know what, and there needs to be something done about it. Well,

937
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:27.400
<v Speaker 2>guess what something I believe is going to be done

938
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:29.559
<v Speaker 2>about it. And this is pretty big news. I actually

939
00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:31.320
<v Speaker 2>saw this on the national news the other day. But

940
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:33.159
<v Speaker 2>what do you kind of go through with this? And

941
00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:35.679
<v Speaker 2>if this happens, man, I hope it happens, and I

942
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:38.079
<v Speaker 2>hope it follows through and maybe life will get easier.

943
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:44.800
<v Speaker 2>You ever try to cancel a gym membership? Forget about it.

944
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you might as well just cross Middle Earth.

945
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:51.800
<v Speaker 2>It's done. Bring in the FTC, the freaking FTC, the

946
00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Federal Trade Commission. They finalized a new rule this week

947
00:54:56.360 --> 00:55:00.440
<v Speaker 2>where they want to make it easier for subscription based

948
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:04.079
<v Speaker 2>services as simple to cancel as they are to sign

949
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.920
<v Speaker 2>up for. Okay, I'll believe it when I see it,

950
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.119
<v Speaker 2>but I like where we're going so far. It's a rule.

951
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:14.440
<v Speaker 2>It's called click to cancel, and what it's going to do.

952
00:55:14.480 --> 00:55:17.599
<v Speaker 2>It's going to crack down on subscription tricks in traps

953
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:22.239
<v Speaker 2>that take advantage of all of our free trial forgetful

954
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:26.719
<v Speaker 2>diss and all of our impatience with lengthy customer service calls.

955
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.360
<v Speaker 2>So under the rule and follow me over here. Online

956
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.800
<v Speaker 2>memberships should take the same number of clicks to cancel

957
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:40.199
<v Speaker 2>as they do to initiate it. Okay, okay, good, good.

958
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:43.840
<v Speaker 2>You need to be able to cancel through the same

959
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.719
<v Speaker 2>methods that you use for sign up, all right, I

960
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:52.000
<v Speaker 2>dig that too. When it comes to free trials, companies

961
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:56.519
<v Speaker 2>need to be clearer about their auto renewal policies, and

962
00:55:56.559 --> 00:56:02.199
<v Speaker 2>they can't charge customers without quote unquote informed consent quote,

963
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:05.440
<v Speaker 2>which might just look like another box to check the

964
00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:09.400
<v Speaker 2>sign up. Now, guess what this protection Supposedly it's going

965
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:11.519
<v Speaker 2>to kick in in about six months. For right now,

966
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I like this. I don't know who doesn't like this.

967
00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:24.039
<v Speaker 2>This may be one of the rules and laws or

968
00:56:24.079 --> 00:56:27.440
<v Speaker 2>something that it may be one hundred percent across the

969
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:31.440
<v Speaker 2>board unanimous that it's actually a good idea. I hope

970
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it works. I mean, there's no one should be a

971
00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:35.920
<v Speaker 2>get well. And I may want to walk that back

972
00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:38.760
<v Speaker 2>because the companies themselves, they may not like it because

973
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that's how they make a lot of revenue. How many times,

974
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:43.880
<v Speaker 2>think to yourself, this is just an individual poll question

975
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.039
<v Speaker 2>over hear how many times have you forgotten to cancel something?

976
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:50.320
<v Speaker 2>How many times have you tried to cancel something and

977
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:54.199
<v Speaker 2>it takes forever. I've seen funny videos the social media

978
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 2>videos where people were trying to cancel their their I

979
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:01.559
<v Speaker 2>believe it was their cable service, and they would be

980
00:57:01.599 --> 00:57:04.199
<v Speaker 2>on hold for twenty five thirty forty minute an hour

981
00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're pulling their hair out because you have to

982
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:10.519
<v Speaker 2>punch this button on the phone you talk to somebody.

983
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait a minute, hold on, We're gonna put you

984
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.800
<v Speaker 2>to our retention services. Don't go yet, we'll give you

985
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:18.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent off. We'll give you some No, I just

986
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:20.519
<v Speaker 2>want to freaking cancel it. Can you just stop it?

987
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh sir, you know how would you like it free

988
00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:26.440
<v Speaker 2>for the next month? Shut up and freaking cancel it.

989
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:31.920
<v Speaker 2>The rules should make it easier for regulators to sue

990
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:36.880
<v Speaker 2>companies with slippery subscriptions. You know, the gems or those

991
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:39.320
<v Speaker 2>little I'm gonna mail food to you so you can

992
00:57:39.320 --> 00:57:42.360
<v Speaker 2>make it. Those are the most often mentioned and complaints

993
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:47.320
<v Speaker 2>that are filed with the FTC. Now, I hope it happens.

994
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:55.079
<v Speaker 2>It's good contracts, memberships, they're good and bad. They could

995
00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:58.000
<v Speaker 2>lock you into a decent price, but sometimes they handcuff you.

996
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna throw I'm gonna air my personal information out

997
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:03.559
<v Speaker 2>right now. I have been trying to get out of

998
00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a contract that it's ironclad. It's stupid, and no one's

999
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:11.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna listen to me. I have Cullagan. I installed the

1000
00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Culagan system in my house. It's a water treatment thing,

1001
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:17.880
<v Speaker 2>which I love. Die. I would not move into ouse

1002
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:23.280
<v Speaker 2>without a water ro reverse osmosis water treatment cleaning system.

1003
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm just had it for years and then bought it

1004
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:28.039
<v Speaker 2>out about a year ago or something. I think I

1005
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.400
<v Speaker 2>had to change my filters, which were cost an arm

1006
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:32.639
<v Speaker 2>and a leg. And the sales guy came over here

1007
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and he says, you know, you should get on our

1008
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:37.760
<v Speaker 2>monthly service plan. And I'm like, man, I asked questions,

1009
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.599
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, oh, well, you know, it's only ninety

1010
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:41.320
<v Speaker 2>dollars a month. But what it's gonna do. It's gonna

1011
00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:43.840
<v Speaker 2>get you the free you know, salt to put into

1012
00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:46.880
<v Speaker 2>your generators and everything, and then if there's a problem.

1013
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.360
<v Speaker 2>It is the most wasted doll I have called Culigan

1014
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to try to get out of it. Oh no, sir,

1015
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:55.679
<v Speaker 2>you're signing to go on drug. It's twelve months, twelve month.

1016
00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:57.840
<v Speaker 2>It is just a wasteful amount of money. If anybody

1017
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:00.760
<v Speaker 2>from Culigan is listening, not have with you call again.

00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:10.800
<v Speaker 2>of it. Not that this new FTC thing is gonna

1021
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.800
<v Speaker 2>help you do that. They just have to wait my

1027
00:59:27.480 --> 00:59:31.199
<v Speaker 2>few months I have I talk about search engine optimization. Listen,

1028
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:36.280
<v Speaker 2>we love radio. Advertising on radio forever has been the

1029
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:38.719
<v Speaker 2>way to go. Love my radio people, But there's also

1030
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:42.679
<v Speaker 2>a mixture of other ways. Actually to advertise. TV is

1031
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:45.480
<v Speaker 2>one of them, Trent used to be one. I would

1032
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:48.079
<v Speaker 2>not recommend print anymore. We here at I Art, we

1033
00:59:48.199 --> 00:59:50.719
<v Speaker 2>have opportunity, not me, but our sales folks. They have

1034
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to do sign you up for banners and

1035
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:57.280
<v Speaker 2>ads and online stuff. But search engine optimization also very key.

1036
00:59:57.360 --> 00:59:59.519
<v Speaker 2>We will get to the bottom of that with a

1037
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.840
<v Speaker 2>look company here whose specialist specialize in it. So if

1038
01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>you're interested, you don't need to go anywhere. And then

1039
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.559
<v Speaker 2>how much do I have? I only got about another

1040
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 2>minute or so I don't have to, okay, I promise

1041
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:12.079
<v Speaker 2>when I come back after that interview, before the end

1042
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:14.760
<v Speaker 2>of the show. For all you people looking for cars,

1043
01:00:14.760 --> 01:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know I am a member of the Texas

1044
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Auto Writers Association, which means I don't get paid by dealerships.

1045
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>It is my thoughts to tell you the good, the bad,

1046
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the ugly, the great parts, the crappy parts, of cars,

1047
01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:29.519
<v Speaker 2>I get the test draw fifteen years, I have test

1048
01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:33.239
<v Speaker 2>driven a brand new vehicle directly from the manufacturer, which

1049
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>means I'm not gonna tell you where did shop for it.

1050
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>And I did just have the opportunity to go up

1051
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.800
<v Speaker 2>to Fort Worth where Chevy launched only for the media.

1052
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>They got to let us see it and drive at

1053
01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>their brand new twenty twenty five new Chevy Tahoe and

1054
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Chevy suburbans. And so we like our big vehicles here

1055
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:57.239
<v Speaker 2>in Texas, down't way, down't Way. There are some upgrades

1056
01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>and I will give you my thoughts, my two cents.

1057
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Some of them pretty good, some of them I think

1058
01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>they could have done better in areas of how the

1059
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.760
<v Speaker 2>new Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban roll end. And also

1060
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:11.199
<v Speaker 2>another vehicle that I've been testing with. And so it's

1061
01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>car time coming up here on the High Tech Texting Show.

1062
01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>What else you got from me? I'm gonna take a break,

1063
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:17.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk a little search engine optimization, and then we'll

1064
01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>wind up the show and then countdown to the on

1065
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>worn football game tonight. Michael Barker ideots the High Tech

1067
01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Of course it's Michael Gardfield. I do think everybody once

1068
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>again for tuning in no matter where you are, thank

1069
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>you for taking us not only on your car radio trustfully,

1070
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>but also that app iHeart Radio app heard not only

1071
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:49.079
<v Speaker 2>your crust usedon across Texas around the world. That didn't

1072
01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:52.119
<v Speaker 2>happen when I started this twenty plus years ago. You know,

1073
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:56.599
<v Speaker 2>also which wasn't around twenty years ago. There's a lot

1074
01:01:56.599 --> 01:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of websites and a lot of technology and also you know,

1075
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>ways to actually get your message across when it comes

1076
01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to I guess advertising or for lack of a better term, listen.

1077
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:08.920
<v Speaker 2>We love our advertising and our partners here in radio,

1078
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>but there's other options. Certainly listen, you watch TV. There

1079
01:02:12.800 --> 01:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>used to be this thing called newspapers, which I won't

1080
01:02:14.719 --> 01:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>get into it. Yeah, but nowadays listen, man, it is

1081
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>it's people do so much research all online, and when

1082
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>they're online, they're hit with so many things. Is it

1083
01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>a banner ad or is it email? Or when you search,

1084
01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean do things pop up? And you know, and

1085
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that's something that I kind of want to continue to

1086
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>harp on and talk about because the technological ways can

1087
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:39.119
<v Speaker 2>make your business and it really can help it grow

1088
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>SEO for example, search engine optimization. And you hear those

1089
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:47.719
<v Speaker 2>three letters. I think of one company and one person, Astounds,

1090
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:50.519
<v Speaker 2>based here in Houston as t O, U, N d

1091
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Z Sounder. And the leader of that company is Steve Winter,

1092
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>a longtime friend of mine, so I can talk the

1093
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>inside dirty stuff. He's also a long horn, so I

1094
01:03:01.320 --> 01:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>know he's happy. Right now. What's going on? I want

1095
01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>to bring him in for a few minutes. How about

1096
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.440
<v Speaker 2>our horns? First off, Steve, how about those horns?

1097
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're looking good, you know. And then and now

1098
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:13.320
<v Speaker 5>we even have depth of quarterback, which is great to see,

1099
01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, But I'll tell you it's our defense that

1100
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:17.840
<v Speaker 5>I think that's really good. Is what's set in the town?

1101
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Defense is strong.

1102
01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well I know. Also, you grew up in Dallas

1103
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>like I did. You know who doesn't have depth of

1104
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>quarterback The Cowboys. But we're not talking about that. Boy.

1105
01:03:26.079 --> 01:03:29.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's another one. Yeah, that's a sad one there.

1106
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, let's get off. Let's get off the football subject. Yeah,

1107
01:03:33.639 --> 01:03:35.760
<v Speaker 2>let's get let's get on this SEO subject. Listen, you

1108
01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>come on the show quite regularly, you did. Your company

1109
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>has so many things. It builds websites. But you know,

1110
01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you can have a great website, but if nobody finds

1111
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>your website, it just doesn't matter. And there's ways to

1112
01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>promote it. And you know organic, organic, such a keyword

1113
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>of search engine optimization is out there. That's one of

1114
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:58.559
<v Speaker 2>the major things that your company's downs does. He explains what,

1115
01:03:58.719 --> 01:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>explain what SEO is and then the word organic how

1116
01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:02.920
<v Speaker 2>it fits into everything.

1117
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.440
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I mean SEO as you said, search engine optimization.

1118
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:10.000
<v Speaker 5>It is nothing more than how you help people by

1119
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:12.400
<v Speaker 5>putting your website out there for them to find it.

1120
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:15.159
<v Speaker 5>If you want to sell any type of product or

1121
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:17.719
<v Speaker 5>service or anything, and you want people to find you,

1122
01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:20.079
<v Speaker 5>and when they go search on Google, you have to

1123
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.639
<v Speaker 5>do things technically and analytically and functionally all with your

1124
01:04:23.639 --> 01:04:26.320
<v Speaker 5>website to get it to rank properly. So you show

1125
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.239
<v Speaker 5>up in Google. That's simple, and you know we're there

1126
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:33.679
<v Speaker 5>twenty four seven three sixty five because where they're organically

1127
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:37.119
<v Speaker 5>versus the pay per click where people pay to be

1128
01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:40.639
<v Speaker 5>showing up in the search results, we get you there organically.

1129
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:45.320
<v Speaker 2>You recommend both only one a combination or is it

1130
01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.119
<v Speaker 2>a case by case basis it?

1131
01:04:47.239 --> 01:04:49.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, yes, it's it's case by case. And you know

1132
01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:51.800
<v Speaker 5>it's like if you've got a brand new website, it's

1133
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:54.239
<v Speaker 5>going to take a while for you to show up organically,

1134
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:56.800
<v Speaker 5>so we say, let's augment it with paid AdWords until

1135
01:04:56.840 --> 01:05:01.079
<v Speaker 5>we rank well depending on your business. And you know

1136
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.800
<v Speaker 5>a great one right now, a good friend of ours

1137
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:06.760
<v Speaker 5>happens to be and Aggie has ABC Home and Commercial Services,

1138
01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:09.440
<v Speaker 5>a great company. I use them for my services and

1139
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:11.960
<v Speaker 5>all that, but they also use me for our SEO work.

1140
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:16.800
<v Speaker 5>And you know, they spend money on advertising, on on everything,

1141
01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:19.719
<v Speaker 5>a myriad of everything. It's such a competitive business that

1142
01:05:19.880 --> 01:05:21.679
<v Speaker 5>you know, they they do it across the board and

1143
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:24.920
<v Speaker 5>we help them. But what we really did and was

1144
01:05:24.920 --> 01:05:28.039
<v Speaker 5>a game changer, is we really helped them organically. They

1145
01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:30.840
<v Speaker 5>were getting killed by the big guys, and you know,

1146
01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.039
<v Speaker 5>weren't showing up well at all. No, now you look

1147
01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:36.039
<v Speaker 5>up pest control or exterminator here in Houston, go see

1148
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.280
<v Speaker 5>where ABC Home and Commercial shows up. They're going to

1149
01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:40.679
<v Speaker 5>be one, two or three for just about ever. Research

1150
01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:44.280
<v Speaker 5>and they do pool cleaning, they do other services that

1151
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:46.199
<v Speaker 5>they were not showing up for as well as they

1152
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.840
<v Speaker 5>should have organically. But now they just did an analysis

1153
01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:53.400
<v Speaker 5>across all of their advertising spend and guess what. Guess

1154
01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:56.639
<v Speaker 5>what one of their best absolute best returns was organic

1155
01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 5>SEO And you know it's it's it's just a gaining.

1156
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.519
<v Speaker 5>And we were just on with another friend of ours,

1157
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:08.280
<v Speaker 5>the commercial HVAC company, and you know, you know they're

1158
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:10.800
<v Speaker 5>a job to them, could be a seventy five thousand

1159
01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:14.559
<v Speaker 5>dollars job. I mean we we are absolutely by far

1160
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:18.880
<v Speaker 5>the least expensive salesperson they have. And we don't talk back.

1161
01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>You show up one time, we're there all the time.

1162
01:06:23.840 --> 01:06:26.440
<v Speaker 5>We don't go to sleep, we don't complain about things.

1163
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:28.599
<v Speaker 5>We just sit there and get your business, you know.

1164
01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:31.039
<v Speaker 5>So you know it's a great time. It's you know,

1165
01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:33.079
<v Speaker 5>you got your new UNAR's resolution that you're going to

1166
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:35.880
<v Speaker 5>get your website to perform for you next year where

1167
01:06:35.960 --> 01:06:38.760
<v Speaker 5>it makes you money instead of sitting there being an expense.

1168
01:06:39.400 --> 01:06:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Great analogy is to continue to talk to Steve Winter.

1169
01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:45.039
<v Speaker 2>His company is Astouns. Will make sure he gives us

1170
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>his phone number here soon. Even though I'm sure you're

1171
01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:49.159
<v Speaker 2>number one on the search engine lest when you look.

1172
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:53.119
<v Speaker 5>At yeah, organic CEO in Houston, and you know organic

1173
01:06:53.119 --> 01:06:55.840
<v Speaker 5>guessio in general. But yes, if you look up organic

1174
01:06:55.880 --> 01:06:57.840
<v Speaker 5>ges CEO companies in Houston, We're going to show up

1175
01:06:57.880 --> 01:06:58.559
<v Speaker 5>very very high.

1176
01:06:58.880 --> 01:07:01.079
<v Speaker 2>It's twenty again, I talk. I've been to the media now,

1177
01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:03.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, twenty three years. I started on TV, still

1178
01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>do some TV obviously have been radio, you know type

1179
01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:09.039
<v Speaker 2>of thing. And back then newspapers in print, in print

1180
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:11.519
<v Speaker 2>magazine state that twenty years ago, I mean that that was.

1181
01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:14.679
<v Speaker 5>Yellow Pages, dude, it was yellow Pages good, you know, Yeah,

1182
01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:16.559
<v Speaker 5>spending a lot of money to show up a you

1183
01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:19.679
<v Speaker 5>know you were AAABC commercial or whatever.

1184
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Exact Yeah, and without it. Yeah, to be sure, I'm

1185
01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:25.079
<v Speaker 2>not talking people out of using and keeping the others

1186
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:28.039
<v Speaker 2>in the mix because you talk about ABC. Roley Jenkins,

1187
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely know him, but I know he's been a

1188
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:32.119
<v Speaker 2>big his cup has been a big partner of here

1189
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:35.440
<v Speaker 2>at iHeart. But I also see his TV commercials he

1190
01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:38.239
<v Speaker 2>spins across the board. But it's an interesting anecdote that

1191
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:41.239
<v Speaker 2>you said by him using or let me just put

1192
01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:45.719
<v Speaker 2>this mixing in some organic s CEO that really as

1193
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:48.639
<v Speaker 2>you from the study they showed that really started, you know,

1194
01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:51.559
<v Speaker 2>getting them on the map for for new new features

1195
01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:53.119
<v Speaker 2>that they do. I didn't know they didn't cool Clinting,

1196
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I just killed kill the hands.

1197
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, no, they do all types of stuff, you know,

1198
01:07:57.719 --> 01:07:59.880
<v Speaker 5>and so they they now show up for all the

1199
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:03.920
<v Speaker 5>landscaping landscaping services, they do it all. So Roley owes

1200
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:05.920
<v Speaker 5>me now for this commercial. But they really are good.

1201
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:07.800
<v Speaker 5>But but we we were able to really move the

1202
01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:12.000
<v Speaker 5>needle form. So we're now really arguably the foundation of

1203
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:14.719
<v Speaker 5>all of their advertising marketing. Because the other thing when

1204
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:16.520
<v Speaker 5>people hear it on the radio or whatever else and

1205
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:18.720
<v Speaker 5>you go look it up if you can't remember exactly

1206
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:20.720
<v Speaker 5>what it was, it was like ABC pest or what

1207
01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:24.159
<v Speaker 5>you know. Now, all these different iterations they show up for,

1208
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:26.560
<v Speaker 5>they show up high, so you know you hear something.

1209
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:28.239
<v Speaker 5>And that's the other thing we tell our people. It's

1210
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:32.359
<v Speaker 5>like we're just a great validation for everything you're doing too.

1211
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:35.239
<v Speaker 5>But but you know, depending on your business, yes we

1212
01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:37.439
<v Speaker 5>we don't. We don't. You know, if you've got the money,

1213
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:39.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you want to show up, we can get

1214
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:43.000
<v Speaker 5>a client to show up basically about five different ways.

1215
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.640
<v Speaker 5>In a Google search. You got Google Maps, you've got

1216
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:49.399
<v Speaker 5>Google paid ads, you've got Google guaranteed, you you've got

1217
01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:52.399
<v Speaker 5>uh you know where they the snippets. Uh you know,

1218
01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:56.119
<v Speaker 5>featured snippets, you have their organic results. I mean there's

1219
01:08:56.159 --> 01:08:57.880
<v Speaker 5>a lot of ways, and so the more ways we

1220
01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.960
<v Speaker 5>can show up on that first page, the more dominant

1221
01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:03.319
<v Speaker 5>we're going to be. So, you know, money being no object.

1222
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:06.399
<v Speaker 5>We're going to do everything right, but money being an object.

<v Speaker 2>downloading or upgrading it your new iPhone or your older iPhone.

1275
01:11:29.520 --> 01:11:31.399

1276
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:34.319
<v Speaker 2>you need to do to get your iPhone ready. There's

1277
01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:38.159
<v Speaker 2>a checklist to make sure that you're ready to download

1278
01:11:38.199 --> 01:11:41.239
<v Speaker 2>and upgrade to the newest operating system with Apple and

1279
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Diligence or whatever you want to use. Talked a little

1280
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>about little air tag and tiny trackers. Are those good

1281
01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:52.119
<v Speaker 2>or are some interesting places that you have put or

1282
01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:54.479
<v Speaker 2>where you have heard people putting their little air tags

1283
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:59.119
<v Speaker 2>to track told you about subscriptions. Looks like the Federal

1284
01:11:59.159 --> 01:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Trade Commission there. Soon I'm going to be able to

1285
01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>make canceling all your little subscriptions a heck of a

1286
01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>lot easier, just as easy it is to subscribe. Which

1287
01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:11.359
<v Speaker 2>is about time. I will talk real quickly about vehicles

1288
01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:14.079
<v Speaker 2>and cars. I am a longtime member. It'll be Texas

1289
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Auto Writers Association. That is I'm using air quotes here.

1290
01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Journalists like May who actually can get inside, get behind

1291
01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:27.079
<v Speaker 2>a vehicle, a car, a sports car and as you

1292
01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:30.159
<v Speaker 2>via pickup truck and give you his or her honest opinion,

1293
01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:34.159
<v Speaker 2>unpaid true. What is this car good for you? What

1294
01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:38.119
<v Speaker 2>are the improvements that this manufacturer made? I was at

1295
01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Big Truck Rally at Truck Rodeo about a month ago,

1296
01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:43.279
<v Speaker 2>and I got to drive back to back to back

1297
01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:46.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty different trucks. And so if you're in the mood

1298
01:12:46.840 --> 01:12:50.079
<v Speaker 2>mode by a pickup truck, pop me a note. Michael

1299
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Garfield at iHeartMedia dot com. I can tell you what's

1300
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:55.079
<v Speaker 2>good and some of the stuff what's to stay away from.

1301
01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But then there's also SUVs. We here in Texas where

1302
01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I am base, we love our big vehicles and for

1303
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:07.119
<v Speaker 2>a long time, Chevy Suburban that's probably been the biggest

1304
01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:11.399
<v Speaker 2>land boat there is. That thing is massive. Chevy Tahoe

1305
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:14.359
<v Speaker 2>is its sister, a little bit smaller version, the brand

1306
01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>new twenty twenty five versions of Chevy Tahoe Chevy Suburban.

1307
01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:23.319
<v Speaker 2>They were just released to a few select media. I

1308
01:13:23.479 --> 01:13:25.159
<v Speaker 2>was up in Fort Worth about a week and a

1309
01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>half ago and I had to bite my tongue because

1310
01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>there was an embargo. However, the embargo has lifted and

1311
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I can give you my thoughts. I'm a big I

1312
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:36.119
<v Speaker 2>am a Chevy fan, and there's little reason why people

1313
01:13:36.159 --> 01:13:38.920
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be fans of Chevy. It is an age old.

1314
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>It is good. Obviously. It's a solid manufacturer from GM.

1315
01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Look in your rear view mirror, you see on the

1316
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:47.439
<v Speaker 2>grill and you see that Chevy bow tie. You know

1317
01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you're going to get a solid vehicle. They make very solid, sturdy,

1318
01:13:52.560 --> 01:13:55.640
<v Speaker 2>hiccup trucks and SUVs, and the new twenty twenty five

1319
01:13:55.760 --> 01:14:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Tahoe suburbans they follow along the line. They are just

1320
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:03.439
<v Speaker 2>as big. I will notice from walking around each of

1321
01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.319
<v Speaker 2>them that they look a little bit more sleek, a

1322
01:14:07.399 --> 01:14:11.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit more unique, a little bit sexier. Dare I say,

1323
01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:16.319
<v Speaker 2>not as boxy than you think they normally would on

1324
01:14:16.600 --> 01:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>each of the trims. There are trims, I mean each

1325
01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:21.520
<v Speaker 2>of the models. Let's put it this one each of

1326
01:14:21.520 --> 01:14:23.479
<v Speaker 2>the Tahoe and each of the Suburban, there are six

1327
01:14:23.840 --> 01:14:28.279
<v Speaker 2>six new different trims and trims meaning how upgraded or

1328
01:14:28.359 --> 01:14:30.560
<v Speaker 2>how low graded or what are you in the mood for?

1329
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Are you in the move for really going off road?

1330
01:14:33.239 --> 01:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Six to choose from, and I'll start with lowest to highest.

1331
01:14:36.920 --> 01:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>There's the LS LS on the Chevy Tahoe. The LS

1332
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty much almost bare bones for lack of a better term,

1333
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:48.439
<v Speaker 2>starts at about fifty eight five hundred. We then go

1334
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>up to an LT. It's got a little bit more

1335
01:14:51.680 --> 01:14:56.479
<v Speaker 2>family functionality, little lifestyle, sixty one thousand, seven hundred dollars.

1336
01:14:56.840 --> 01:15:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Middle of the road, we've got the RST r ST

1337
01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:05.439
<v Speaker 2>versions about sixty six thousand dollars, a little bit more expressive.

1338
01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:08.079
<v Speaker 2>You want urban, so if you want, you know, drive

1339
01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:11.039
<v Speaker 2>around the city, it's still gonna be maneuverable. And they've

1340
01:15:11.119 --> 01:15:14.880
<v Speaker 2>got some nice you know things inside touch screens and

1341
01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:17.239
<v Speaker 2>what have you across the board. If you're looking for

1342
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>something a little bit more outdoor, a little bit more rugged,

1343
01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:22.119
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more lifestyle, and a four wheel drive.

1344
01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I've always liked the Z seventy one version of the

1345
01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Chevy vehicles, the Z seventy one. All right, think you're

1346
01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:30.479
<v Speaker 2>definitely gonna be able to go off road in this

1347
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>one starts about sixty eight thousand, five hundred dollars. Two

1348
01:15:34.680 --> 01:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>more above that, there's the premiere, the Chevy Tahoe Premiere,

1349
01:15:37.920 --> 01:15:41.399
<v Speaker 2>the Chevy Suburban Premiere. You're gonna get even more advanced

1350
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>technology in there, a little bit more functionality. You're gonna

1351
01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>get some nice leather seats. You're still gonna get a

1352
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>great touch screen, some safety features. That's about seventy three

1353
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:53.640
<v Speaker 2>thousand to start. And then if you want the highest level,

1354
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:56.119
<v Speaker 2>and I say highest, you know, I don't think Chevy

1355
01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:59.000
<v Speaker 2>actually likes that term. But if you want the most luxurious,

1356
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:02.199
<v Speaker 2>there is nothing else really that you can add. That's

1357
01:16:02.279 --> 01:16:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the Chevy high Country. They make the high country in

1358
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the suburban. They make the high country in the Tahoe.

1359
01:16:06.800 --> 01:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>That is bold design, queues, inside, very luxurious, pretty much

1360
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.239
<v Speaker 2>everything that you want, safety features, the super crews pretty much,

1361
01:16:15.279 --> 01:16:19.159
<v Speaker 2>and everything starts at about seventy eight thousand. All of

1362
01:16:19.199 --> 01:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>them are five drove, most all of them. The ride

1363
01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:24.359
<v Speaker 2>is solid. You would think a large vehicle like a

1364
01:16:24.399 --> 01:16:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Tahoe and certainly a suburban. They're kind of bumpy, the

1365
01:16:27.880 --> 01:16:32.399
<v Speaker 2>ride is very smooth. If you want to see and

1366
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>actually what I went through, I put together about a

1367
01:16:34.680 --> 01:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>six minute video. It is on my YouTube channel, which

1368
01:16:38.039 --> 01:16:41.720
<v Speaker 2>you should subscribe to, but also it is on my

1369
01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:47.479
<v Speaker 2>website high Tech Texan, High Tech t e x An,

1370
01:16:47.520 --> 01:16:49.640
<v Speaker 2>high Tech Textan dot com. It's one of the videos

1371
01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:51.680
<v Speaker 2>that I put on there and you could see it.

1372
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Should you be in the mode for a new vehicle.

1373
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:57.680
<v Speaker 2>October Generally back in the day, that's when all the

1374
01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.199
<v Speaker 2>new vehicles came out. Now vehicles come out pretty much

1375
01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:02.359
<v Speaker 2>year round. I do want to thank the Chevy folks

1376
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>for giving me the inside info play by play, helping

1377
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>me get up to Fort Worth. They did not pay

1378
01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for my thoughts. These are all mine. There are things

1379
01:17:11.079 --> 01:17:13.159
<v Speaker 2>to me that, you know, they could have improved. Maybe

1380
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:15.479
<v Speaker 2>there's a little bit more plastic than I like, maybe

1381
01:17:15.479 --> 01:17:17.319
<v Speaker 2>they could have had a little bit more wood grain.

1382
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:20.640
<v Speaker 2>But if you want something that seats nine, there is

1383
01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a Chevy suburban that holds nine people, three in the back,

1384
01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:28.159
<v Speaker 2>three in the middle, and actually they have three seats

1385
01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:30.960
<v Speaker 2>in front, the two passenger captain chairs, and then there's

1386
01:17:31.039 --> 01:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of the armrest that folds up to make it

1387
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>three in the front as nine people. That's actually on

1388
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:39.880
<v Speaker 2>their lower end version of the Chevy Chevy suburban. But

1389
01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.239
<v Speaker 2>solid company. It's worth fighting a dealership. I'm not going

1390
01:17:44.319 --> 01:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>to tell you. Don't call me saying hey, GURF, can

1391
01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:48.199
<v Speaker 2>you give me a deal on any car? I can't.

1392
01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:52.199
<v Speaker 2>I can't, I don't have it. I do not endorse dealerships.

1393
01:17:52.560 --> 01:17:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I'd work directly with the manufacturers. And so if you

1394
01:17:55.199 --> 01:17:58.199
<v Speaker 2>want me to review something, I've got an entire podcast

1395
01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that go back years and years and years. Go to Spotify,

1396
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:05.239
<v Speaker 2>iHeart Apple, whatever. Just look for high Tech Texan with

1397
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a dash high dash Tech Texan dot com. And I

1398
01:18:08.119 --> 01:18:11.159
<v Speaker 2>have dozens of dozens and not hundreds and hundreds of

1399
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:14.680
<v Speaker 2>my thoughts on your vehicles that I can give you

1400
01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:16.720
<v Speaker 2>reasons to get it and maybe reasons to look for

1401
01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>other vehicles. And that's kind of what I do. So

1402
01:18:19.479 --> 01:18:23.159
<v Speaker 2>if I surprised you bym not talking specifically about technology

1403
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and phones in TVs, that's what I do. I didn't

1404
01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that talk about bourbon or beer this time, it didn't

1405
01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:33.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about fashion, But who knows next week that actually

1406
01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:35.640
<v Speaker 2>could change. But I do thank you for tuning in

1407
01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:37.359
<v Speaker 2>as we wind this up, thank you to our big
