Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on Demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six.
Speaker 2: Forty KFI Mo Kelly on Tech Thursday with Marshall Callier.
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. The holidays are here,
Speaker 2: the shopping has begun, the ridiculous expenditures.
Speaker 3: Are well underway. Marsha Collier.
Speaker 2: How should we look at this holiday season, at least
Speaker 2: through the lens of technology.
Speaker 4: Well, I was listening to you earlier, Mo, and I
Speaker 4: was kind of hoping we could financially recover February.
Speaker 2: We can't individually, but collectively we probably are not going to.
Speaker 4: Collectively, people are going to be paying till June. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: So you want to talk about some gifts.
Speaker 3: First or sure? Why not? Why not?
Speaker 4: Okay, some of the most popular gifts. I mean, let's
Speaker 4: just quickly talk about it. There's all the tech in
Speaker 4: the world. How many people have many pairs of earbuds?
Speaker 3: I do? I have at least two or three Google Buds.
Speaker 4: So, I mean, without going into it and be out,
Speaker 4: without being repetitive, there are so many tech things that
Speaker 4: we already have that would be easy to buy.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's buy headphones.
Speaker 4: Let's no, so let's think a little better. And I
Speaker 4: got some of these from Ai, which a lot. I know,
Speaker 4: I know, I know they're sucking me in. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: just bad, bad, Okay. Now, normally we talk about Lego
Speaker 4: sets and we talk about Star Wars.
Speaker 3: And at Holts.
Speaker 4: But did you ever see the star the Lego sets
Speaker 4: with flowers or plants?
Speaker 3: No, I honestly have not. And I grew up with legos.
Speaker 4: Okay, when I was in England, they have the world's
Speaker 4: largest Lego store and they had a whole garden of.
Speaker 3: Plants, Lego plants.
Speaker 4: I'm showing mo a picture of like the I think
Speaker 4: it's succulents, the cactuses, all different colors.
Speaker 2: They are well defined. I mean, it's not like it
Speaker 2: doesn't look pixelated, you know what I mean. It doesn't
Speaker 2: look Lego, right, it doesn't look Lego. And as a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, they're so real.
Speaker 4: They have an orchid which is gorgeous, which I got
Speaker 4: for my birthday. And I've never done a Lego before
Speaker 4: in my life, so this ought to be really interesting.
Speaker 3: You never had like a Lego brick set. No, oh,
Speaker 3: you have missed out. I bought my daughter.
Speaker 4: You know, we played makeup and nail polush.
Speaker 2: I missed Lego. They have grown, obviously, this is another
Speaker 2: example of it. They have grown as far as the
Speaker 2: type of sets that they offer, which they would appeal
Speaker 2: to a wider variety of people.
Speaker 4: Right and on the Reddit board, I'm a member of
Speaker 4: the orchids group, and when people are showing their orchid collection,
Speaker 4: there'll be one of the Lego orchids in the middle
Speaker 4: of it. Because not all your orchids bloom at the
Speaker 4: same time, but at least you have one that's guaranteed
Speaker 4: to be in bloom forever. And that's a fun to
Speaker 4: put together because I know people who've put together the
Speaker 4: floral bouquet and some of the other garden items. Good
Speaker 4: to give to a woman to do you know together question?
Speaker 2: And maybe you wouldn't know the answers to this, but
Speaker 2: this is what comes to mind for me. I would
Speaker 2: wonder whether you would put this outside because it's sudden
Speaker 2: likelihood faded.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm not, as I said, I'm not
Speaker 4: a Lego person, so I don't know if Legos fade
Speaker 4: in the sun. Maybe Lego group wants to call us
Speaker 4: and let us know. But I believe from some of
Speaker 4: the people that are nodding their heads in the yes fam.
Speaker 2: Let me just say as a disclaimer, yes, we know
Speaker 2: it is Lego Brick, it's not Legos. Okay, but I've
Speaker 2: been growing up saying Legos is going to be Legos
Speaker 2: until I die.
Speaker 3: All Right, we know it's singler, got it his shoes
Speaker 3: or cleaning. Yeah, I can write.
Speaker 2: I can hear my email and my social media mentions
Speaker 2: going off out of control to about you know it's Lego,
Speaker 2: it's not Legos.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah, which just you and I to anyway.
Speaker 4: I mean the fact that people are overhearing us. But
Speaker 4: that's a great gift. Also, almost every house may still
Speaker 4: have a small collection of vinyl records at home. You
Speaker 4: know that they got to got rid of the.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I still can't get rid of my nineteen sixties Sagittarius
Speaker 4: astrology record that you had to be high to listen to.
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up on vinyl.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you grew up on vinyl, and it has
Speaker 2: been amazing to see vinyl come back. I wonder, though,
Speaker 2: what's going to happen to our old records that like
Speaker 2: I still have my father's jazz collection, these original records
Speaker 2: by like Donald Washington and you know, Duke Ellington, but
Speaker 2: you can't do much with them because they degrade over time.
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 4: But so play them. You know, I learned long ago nothing.
Speaker 4: I don't wear that because it's too good. I don't
Speaker 4: use that in my kitchen because it's too fancy. The
Speaker 4: reason you have it is because it's been made for
Speaker 4: you to enjoy, So you have to enjoy it. These
Speaker 4: old records, they won't be good forever.
Speaker 3: Enjoy them.
Speaker 4: We don't use the heavy needles that they used to use.
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm going to talk about. Victrola, for example,
Speaker 4: they make record players now.
Speaker 3: They're really reasonable and I didn't know that that Victrola
Speaker 3: was actually doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I don't know if it's the old Victrola.
Speaker 3: Company, but they at least have the.
Speaker 4: Name, and I am going to be going to check
Speaker 4: them out at CES. They have a Bluetooth suitcase record
Speaker 4: player and it has a little speaker in it. No
Speaker 4: big deal, but you can, you know, connect it to Bluetooth.
Speaker 3: A mix of old and new.
Speaker 4: A mix of old and new, so you have a
Speaker 4: Bluetooth speaker and you can play through that. As with
Speaker 4: the music on your phone. If you want, you can
Speaker 4: do anything with it. But this way, you know, for
Speaker 4: under fifty dollars, that's a very nice gift.
Speaker 3: It's a thoughtful gift. It's show some thought.
Speaker 4: Right exactly, and it is not going to break the bank.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is something you really want. Also, board
Speaker 4: games are coming back in style now.
Speaker 3: That is something I would like to see.
Speaker 4: And board games are really inexpensive unless you know, you
Speaker 4: get the Star Wars Monopoly set or something like that.
Speaker 4: But the prices are really good. They're good gifts because,
Speaker 4: let's face it, we all know that Christmas gifts aren't
Speaker 4: the be all and end all.
Speaker 3: It's a gift, it's the thought that counts.
Speaker 4: If you have a teenage young lady, maybe she's a swiftie.
Speaker 4: For twenty bucks on Amazon, you can get these bracelet
Speaker 4: making kits with little letters and the little beads things.
Speaker 4: You get the elastic string and they can make bracelets
Speaker 4: for the whole world and a twenty some odd dollars.
Speaker 2: Let me take one step back. Do you remember the
Speaker 2: board games that you were most fond of growing up?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I loved Monopoly. I loved Clue Love, Clue Love
Speaker 4: Clue yep. Maybe because for me it was analytical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had to think.
Speaker 4: And Scrabble scrabbled definitely. My mother made me play Scrabble
Speaker 4: at an early age.
Speaker 2: My family played a lot of Sorry played well.
Speaker 3: I was an only Childshoo was.
Speaker 2: Hard, Sorry Life, Shoots and Ladders, obviously, Monopoly, Mousetrap, but
Speaker 2: also with those games. The point I'm making is those
Speaker 2: games have a lot of family memories connected to them, and.
Speaker 3: They bring people together.
Speaker 4: I was just at a party a few days ago
Speaker 4: and people were playing These are adults hungry hungry Hippo.
Speaker 3: You can get violent that game, really aggressive.
Speaker 4: Game, but they were really having fun, little cocktails, a
Speaker 4: little hungry hungry hippo, you know, bring back stuff where
Speaker 4: people interact.
Speaker 3: Did you ever play Yachtzi? I could never get into Yachtzi?
Speaker 4: No, No, But I loved playing cards, and I haven't
Speaker 4: found anybody to play cards with since I grew up,
Speaker 4: and that was sad.
Speaker 3: I haven't played cards.
Speaker 5: My father was a great card play with my father
Speaker 5: pannuckle that peanuckle.
Speaker 4: Yes, they had a special death of cards.
Speaker 2: I don't understand pein knuckle bidwist.
Speaker 3: We played spades.
Speaker 2: There are all sorts of games we played, but I
Speaker 2: haven't played cards in a while.
Speaker 3: That's something I think might be cyclical.
Speaker 4: Well, I think it makes you think. As we said,
Speaker 4: the other game Scrabble makes you think. Clue makes you think.
Speaker 4: I have a ninety eight year old uncle in England
Speaker 4: who plays bridge on the internet with people all over
Speaker 4: the world.
Speaker 3: Isn't that the best?
Speaker 2: My mother or plays various games on the web with
Speaker 2: people around the world, and that's something where you don't
Speaker 2: have to be alone. You can still enjoy those games.
Speaker 2: Talking about blending the old with the new. And a
Speaker 2: lot of these board games there are digital versions of
Speaker 2: them as well. I played Risk many times online with
Speaker 2: people around the world.
Speaker 4: So a gift that would be really nice. How about
Speaker 4: a mouse that's ergonomic. Gives them the ergonomic mouse and
Speaker 4: go over and say, let me set up and you
Speaker 4: prepare a list ahead of time of games that you
Speaker 4: could install on their computer, like the games your mom plays,
Speaker 4: the bridge or all the different games International Chess League
Speaker 4: is on the internet, and so you give them mouse,
Speaker 4: that's their only relationship it and that's great.
Speaker 3: It's things that people can enjoy.
Speaker 2: Speaking of things that we can enjoy when we come back,
Speaker 2: Let's also talk about streaming because obviously a lot of
Speaker 2: us spend a lot of time in front of our
Speaker 2: devices is watching content which originally was only meant for
Speaker 2: the TV, announced anything which is connected to the Internet,
Speaker 2: the Internet of things. So when we come back, let's
Speaker 2: talk about streaming as it continues to evolve and continues
Speaker 2: to get more spell.
Speaker 4: That money we were gonna save on streaming.
Speaker 2: Well we did for about four months, and then streaming
Speaker 2: turned into cable. It's Later with Mo Kelly. Marshall Collier
Speaker 2: joins us in studios. We talk about all things tech
Speaker 2: in this holiday season. KFI AM six forty Live everywhere
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Camfib Kelly and Marshall Collier. We're all live everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio apps. It's Tech Thursday, and we're talking about
Speaker 2: some of the gifts that you can give to loved
Speaker 2: ones or even people you don't like. Marshall car we
Speaker 2: talk about streaming on this show, probably nightly in some
Speaker 2: form or fashion. I have been one of the earliest
Speaker 2: proponents and adopters of streaming. I cut the cord more
Speaker 2: than ten years ago. I'm sorry I did, But the
Speaker 2: streaming industry has changed greatly. What was once a reasonable
Speaker 2: alternative to cable now has become even more expensive. Now
Speaker 2: there is the convenience of cutting that cord and I
Speaker 2: can watch any of my shows wherever, but it comes.
Speaker 3: At a price. Now, wait a minute.
Speaker 4: Last night we were looking for classic Christmas movies and
Speaker 4: we came to Jimmy Stewart It's a Wonderful Life. We
Speaker 4: clicked on it on one of the channels, whatever one.
Speaker 3: It was three n nine.
Speaker 4: I thought I was supposed to get it for free.
Speaker 4: This movie's probably out of copyright by now.
Speaker 2: Well, see that's the bait and switch. You can find it,
Speaker 2: and they can. They'll tell you where you can watch it,
Speaker 2: but they're also mixed again, the digital downloads and the
Speaker 2: rentals as opposed to just directing you to the service
Speaker 2: where you or the location we actually see.
Speaker 4: So I found it in the service. I was in
Speaker 4: Prime Video.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but for a price? Yeah what the hey?
Speaker 2: Well, and that's saying nothing of you have your subscription,
Speaker 2: monthly subscription and is coming with commercials most.
Speaker 4: Likely which technically comes out to eight ninety nine a
Speaker 4: month for Prime Video. I mean, we don't think about
Speaker 4: that because we get the free shipping and we get
Speaker 4: all the other things.
Speaker 3: And I thought you were gonna say something else. You
Speaker 3: said free. I wouldn't say that, But.
Speaker 2: See, we all make those conscious decisions as far as
Speaker 2: where we find value. I find value in Amazon for
Speaker 2: that reason, because all the packages that I may get
Speaker 2: right on a weekly basis benefits.
Speaker 4: I love it and I want to get in here.
Speaker 4: News for today. YouTube TV hiked the monthly fee today.
Speaker 2: I don't know why, because no one comparatively speaking uses.
Speaker 4: YouTube TV eighty three dollars a month, not me, no sir,
Speaker 4: And that was up fourteen percent in one jump. I
Speaker 4: mean that's outrageous. Plus you're getting as I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: just you know, the higher the fee. It has doubled
Speaker 4: in price in just five years.
Speaker 2: But there's at least competition where if you're not going
Speaker 2: to go with YouTube TV, you can go with Fubo,
Speaker 2: you can go with Sling.
Speaker 3: There are other alternatives.
Speaker 4: I told you that I got a device called a tableau,
Speaker 4: ye little tiny gizmo and a ten dollars flat. Yeah
Speaker 4: it's on the window. No you don't see it is it.
Speaker 4: We get a DVR and the Tableau cost under one
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. So we get a DVR, we get all
Speaker 4: the local channels, we get all the services that they stream.
Speaker 2: The local channels plus their substations like Channel four four
Speaker 2: point one, four point two.
Speaker 4: And Script's news, which we never never see anywhere here.
Speaker 3: So you've got the best part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in HD for free, free fr and it's called
Speaker 4: the Tableau gat I have to recommend no subscription, great
Speaker 4: gift and help people put it up. So anyway, that's
Speaker 4: a lot of money. I mean, it's getting out of hand.
Speaker 4: We thought we were saving ourselves money when we cut
Speaker 4: the cord, and we are paying now more because the
Speaker 4: internet cost is more also than it used to be.
Speaker 3: And there's something else. I thought there was a little.
Speaker 2: They're overly ambitious where they had let's say, Disney Plus
Speaker 2: at five ninety nine and Apple TV five ninety nine,
Speaker 2: but they weren't generating the revenue that they originally thought
Speaker 2: they would.
Speaker 4: They weren't generating content either. Let's face it, that's true.
Speaker 4: Let's face it. The value now of these channels is
Speaker 4: the content to generate. I mean old movies, and all
Speaker 4: that old stuff. It can be found on the internet
Speaker 4: maybe if they haven't destroyed everything.
Speaker 2: You can and you have to make it. You have
Speaker 2: to be make an affirmative decision. Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 2: pay the twenty three dollars for net fl and Hulu
Speaker 2: and Peacock and Paramount Plus and Amazon and go all
Speaker 2: the way down the line.
Speaker 4: By the way we were looking, it came up with
Speaker 4: a new movie for you, The Man who Invented Christmas.
Speaker 4: It's the story and it's funnier than all get out
Speaker 4: of how Charles Dickens wrote a Christmas Carol. And it's
Speaker 4: free on one of the platforms, The Man who Invented Christmas.
Speaker 3: It's really a good movie. If you say free, I'm
Speaker 3: inclined to believe that might be to be. Have you
Speaker 3: ever tried to b I use my tableau?
Speaker 2: This mark is one of the greatest supporters of to
Speaker 2: be known to man or woman and the.
Speaker 3: Evangelist, And it is free.
Speaker 2: It's a free service just for letting people know about
Speaker 2: cost savings. And it has an extensive library of TV
Speaker 2: shows and movies and new content. Maybe not the best
Speaker 2: new content, but that's another option as well.
Speaker 5: You don't go to to be for new stuff. You
Speaker 5: go there for it's gold mine of classic and cult
Speaker 5: stuff and some old TV shows, including some that I'd
Speaker 5: rarely even seen on streaming or home video. There's some obscure,
Speaker 5: wonderful stuff on TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, and by the way, I have a VISYOTV at home.
Speaker 4: I like my Visio TVs.
Speaker 3: I do too, I have too of them. They've been great.
Speaker 4: Well guess what.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, they're not.
Speaker 4: Owned by Visio anymore. Walmart paid two point three billion
Speaker 4: dollars to own all the Visio TVs.
Speaker 2: I like Visio TV. I don't know how that impacts
Speaker 2: the Visio brand. Now, I know it's great for Walmart
Speaker 2: because they'll have an in house you know, TV content
Speaker 2: provider delivery system.
Speaker 4: Visiotv will become an extension for Walmart Connect and advertising
Speaker 4: platform that launched in twenty twenty one and placed ads
Speaker 4: and streaming services. Now they're going to put them all
Speaker 4: on the Watch Free Plus channel.
Speaker 3: There it is, there's the content delivery. There you go.
Speaker 4: But the point is you can go around all this
Speaker 4: because we have Visio TVs and we like them. We
Speaker 4: use a firestick or you can use an Apple TV
Speaker 4: and that way you don't run it through the TV, Yes,
Speaker 4: because I only use my Roku. Yeah, we don't even
Speaker 4: have what we just don't. We don't run any of
Speaker 4: it through the tea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for those who don't know, you buy your TV
Speaker 2: and it will have its preloaded channels, live channels and
Speaker 2: offerings and preloaded apps. You don't have to use their
Speaker 2: quote unquote operating system.
Speaker 4: And it's just as easy to get a firestick or
Speaker 4: whatever you want to use, plug it into the HDMI port.
Speaker 3: It's simple.
Speaker 4: You don't have to have any technical knowledge whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Just press the better. For my mom, she swears by it,
Speaker 3: right exactly.
Speaker 4: I did want to let you all know, though, that
Speaker 4: there are deals to be had over Cyber Monday. I
Speaker 4: really hope you got in on some of them. We
Speaker 4: go Showtime and Paramount Plus for two ninety nine a.
Speaker 3: Month for a year. That's a good one. That was
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 4: They had Disney Plus and Hulu for next to nothing,
Speaker 4: another two ninety nine a month deal. And so this
Speaker 4: was Cyber Monday on your holidays. You have to do
Speaker 4: this and if for some reason it's you're not eligible
Speaker 4: because you've been a subscriber for a year, use your
Speaker 4: spouse as email address and switch it back and forth.
Speaker 2: Get out of my life, Marsha Collier. Stop telling all
Speaker 2: my secret tips and tricks. Because yes, that's all I
Speaker 2: can say.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And one last thing before we ran out
Speaker 4: of time, I told you about AI that I've been into.
Speaker 4: So I asked grock elon Musk's AI. What a thought
Speaker 4: of Marcia Collier's new book, Android Smartphones for Seniors for Dummies,
Speaker 4: second edition, And to be honest, it covers the asset.
Speaker 4: Quote covers the essentials for using an Android smartphone, from
Speaker 4: basic functionality to more advanced features like media streaming and photography.
Speaker 4: Ensures that readers can get the most out of their
Speaker 4: devices without diet needing to dive into unnecessary complexities. Had
Speaker 4: a page and a half of good stuff to say
Speaker 4: about my new.
Speaker 2: How can I say? Is that like a review that
Speaker 2: you can use and post on your website?
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 3: I am going to use it tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I did it this evening, grock approof and I'm just
Speaker 4: brought grock approofed I'm going to make a little seal
Speaker 4: icon and I'm going to do that. But it is
Speaker 4: Android Smartphones for Seniors for dummies, not just for seniors.
Speaker 4: And Amazon's being a little weird and sketchy about it.
Speaker 4: A lot of the other sellers are selling it on Amazon,
Speaker 4: So go in and visit those other sellers as you
Speaker 4: can on Amazon and take a look. Some of them
Speaker 4: have it cheaper, some of them have it higher. Last
Speaker 4: night it said only three left in stock soon and
Speaker 4: today bang, they had more. So I don't know what's
Speaker 4: going on with Amazon's stock system. I do know how
Speaker 4: many are there and they have them.
Speaker 2: Marshall Collier, congratulations to you on your new book. Thank
Speaker 2: you for always coming in studio and sharing your knowledge.
Speaker 2: It is invaluable and we appreciate it and.
Speaker 3: You thanks so much.
Speaker 4: And Happy Holidays to everybody out there listening. Enjoy the holidays,
Speaker 4: enjoy your family, Enjoy the love.
Speaker 3: You're listening to.
Speaker 1: Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM six
Speaker 1: forty in just.
Speaker 2: A second, we're going to talk about the money that
Speaker 2: you're going to spend and arguably waste this holiday season.
Speaker 2: But before I do that, I have to send a
Speaker 2: shout out to Shannon Farron. The Rams just defeated the
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. The Rams have swept the
Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers this season, and the Rams,
Speaker 2: in beating the San Francisco forty nine Ers tonight, have
Speaker 2: officially eliminated the San Francisco forty nine ers from the postseason.
Speaker 2: So thoughts and prayers to the forty nine ers. And
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say publicly I was concerned about
Speaker 2: Shannon Fair and I reached out to her via text
Speaker 2: and she didn't hit me back. I just wanted to
Speaker 2: make sure that she was okay. I offered to call
Speaker 2: someone if she needed some emotional help or someone just
Speaker 2: to talk to. Sometimes you just need somebody to talk
Speaker 2: to to deal with the pain.
Speaker 3: It's a very difficult time for her.
Speaker 2: So don't blow up her phone talking about how the
Speaker 2: Rams smoked the forty nine ers and kicked.
Speaker 3: Them out of the playoffs. Don't do that.
Speaker 2: That would be very classless, that would be crass, It
Speaker 2: would be unnecessary, childish, juvenile, all those things. But the
Speaker 2: Rams defeated the forty nine ers too in their playoff bid.
Speaker 2: Go Rams go home, forty nine Ers. Thoughts and prayers, Hi, Shannon, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's talk about your holiday spending. Did you know overall,
Speaker 2: the average American will spend over two thousand dollars this
Speaker 2: holiday season, two grand in fact the average person. And
Speaker 2: this is according to studyfines dot org. The average person
Speaker 2: has accumulated over twenty three grand in debt.
Speaker 3: Not me, not this guy.
Speaker 2: I've never had debt that high, at least as far
Speaker 2: as unsecured credit card debt.
Speaker 3: Can't do it, won't do it.
Speaker 2: But the average person has accumulate accumulated over twenty three
Speaker 2: grand in debt. And this survey was of two thousand
Speaker 2: Americans who celebrate a winter holiday. Examined the cost breakdown
Speaker 2: of the holiday season as well as how Americans have
Speaker 2: been impacted by twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: Economy.
Speaker 2: According to the results, the most expensive holiday bill revolves
Speaker 2: around transportation with the planning to travel this year, sixty
Speaker 2: four percent of people who are planning to travel spending
Speaker 2: an average of eight hundred and forty six dollars. And
Speaker 2: Stefanie and Mark and Touola know this. I don't ever
Speaker 2: travel for the most part during the holidays because my
Speaker 2: house is the travel destination and we end up hosting
Speaker 2: everybody for the holidays, which is a pain in my ass.
Speaker 5: No, no, you wouldn't want to miss out on one
Speaker 5: second of that.
Speaker 2: I look, you know, I spend more time at work
Speaker 2: during the holidays just for that reason, so I don't
Speaker 2: have to be home.
Speaker 3: I miss my dogs. I love my dogs.
Speaker 2: But when the house falls up, fills up, I gotta go,
Speaker 2: gotta go, gotta go, because I like to be able
Speaker 2: to walk around in my own house. Bucket ass naked,
Speaker 2: can't do it.
Speaker 5: Copy company doesn't mind that at all. It's your house.
Speaker 5: They'll understand.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, they should be more accommodating, but
Speaker 2: my wife says they won't be. And I'm trying to
Speaker 2: keep peace at my house and that is going along
Speaker 2: with some of the things that she recommends. Also, I
Speaker 2: think part of it kind of serious. You're kind of
Speaker 2: like me when there's just too much, too many people,
Speaker 2: too much commotion in one room. It's like it kind
Speaker 2: of gives you anxiety.
Speaker 3: It does. No, I'm being very it does. I'm the
Speaker 3: same way. So, yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2: And if I withdraw, I'm the a hole. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: the one who's anti social. I'm the one who's not
Speaker 2: being a gracious host. I have my thing, like like
Speaker 2: I don't like people touching me. I don't want to
Speaker 2: have conversation about my job when I'm not at the job,
Speaker 2: and I don't. I can't entertain folks at my house
Speaker 2: over multiple days leading into a week.
Speaker 3: Can't do it.
Speaker 5: I don't want people touching my stuff. That too, I'm
Speaker 5: being serious, I am too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I usually lock the door to my office
Speaker 2: and studio because you have some kids who want to
Speaker 2: wander around, and to them, it looks like the toys
Speaker 2: because it has bright lights in it and the microphones
Speaker 2: and new and I have a glass desk.
Speaker 3: No sir, No sir, that's an accident waiting to happen.
Speaker 2: And then, like you said before, it's like I already
Speaker 2: don't really want to talk that much when I get home.
Speaker 2: And then you have this job, which is, you know,
Speaker 2: the best job in the world, but you don't want
Speaker 2: to keep doing that at home. And I get off work,
Speaker 2: let's say ten oh five ish. If I'm lucky, I
Speaker 2: can get home anytime between ten thirty eleven during the holidays,
Speaker 2: because no one's going to work the next day except me.
Speaker 2: They're up, they're up and talking, and so when I
Speaker 2: come in, it's like, hey, how you dude?
Speaker 3: Tell me bitch? You got today.
Speaker 2: I was, well, can I just go to freaking sleep?
Speaker 2: Can I just go scratch my ass upstairs and have
Speaker 2: a drink?
Speaker 3: I mean, banned the man.
Speaker 2: This is that what all men want to do, because
Speaker 2: you're you're coming on the decline and they still have
Speaker 2: all the energy.
Speaker 3: So it's like you right in the middle and right
Speaker 3: or they've already.
Speaker 2: Had some drinks in there and celebrating mode, and I'm
Speaker 2: not there yet. So that's why I don't travel during
Speaker 2: the holidays, because I'm usually the recipient, or I should
Speaker 2: I say the receptacle for travelers, you are the receptacle, yes,
Speaker 2: and I meant receptacle. Other big ticket items that people
Speaker 2: will spen money on and end up in deeper debt.
Speaker 2: Holiday food and refreshments of course, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: five dollars on average. Throwing parties one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: three dollars on average. That's not a really big party.
Speaker 2: For one hundred and twenty three dollars, I could spend
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty three dollars just going out to dinner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a lot of money.
Speaker 2: And holiday clothing and outfits. I refuse to spend money
Speaker 2: on holiday clothing. I'm not going to buy an ugly sweater.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy a special outfit for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 2: I'm going to get something that's out of my closet
Speaker 2: and clean. Do you and your wife have matching holiday jammies?
Speaker 3: No? Never, and I refuse.
Speaker 2: Look, my wife kinda thinks that's kind of funny or
Speaker 2: cool if we just even happen to dress in this
Speaker 2: same color scheme. I will never consciously go out the
Speaker 2: house with anything that is comparable to anything she's wearing.
Speaker 3: It's toats of doorbs.
Speaker 2: The closest thing we'll do is like, if we're going
Speaker 2: to a black tie event, I'm wearing a black toxedo.
Speaker 3: She's wearing a black dress. That's it.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's not the same as fuzzy jammis with a
Speaker 5: pattern on them. Oh I know, I know that's what
Speaker 5: you need. No, and that will never happen.
Speaker 2: As far as gifts are concerned, Americans plan to spend
Speaker 2: on average, about five hundred and fifty nine dollars on
Speaker 2: their loved ones this year.
Speaker 3: And y'all are cheat. That's not that bad, Honestly, it isn't.
Speaker 2: That isn't with the money, most being spent on kids
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen dollars and concubines at ninety two
Speaker 2: dollars side pieces.
Speaker 3: That is yeah, yeah, that's about right.
Speaker 2: I would say my only conscious intention is to only
Speaker 2: spend the cash that I have available. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to put it on credit because, as this will say,
Speaker 2: shoppers won't recr from holidays spending until May of next year.
Speaker 2: I just can't do that. I'm not gonna let's say,
Speaker 2: throw three four grand on my charge card and try
Speaker 2: to catch up in May. And if you don't have
Speaker 2: that luxury, I'm not looking down on you. I'm saying
Speaker 2: I am being very intentional. And to my wife's credit,
Speaker 2: she does Christmas shopping all year. In other words, if
Speaker 2: she sees something in March, she'll just say, let me
Speaker 2: just get this now and put it away. That'll be
Speaker 2: a great gift for cousin so and so. Oh what
Speaker 2: a psychic burden to carry throughout the whole year. She
Speaker 2: is very OCD like that. That's smart. Though I've done
Speaker 2: the same thing for more for people's birthdays.
Speaker 3: I can't do it. Seriously.
Speaker 2: I will not start my holiday shopping until maybe this weekend.
Speaker 3: I can't do it.
Speaker 2: I cannot, even though I tell myself I'm going to
Speaker 2: start in November or maybe October. Can't do it, and
Speaker 2: they'll just get a whole bunch of gift cards and
Speaker 2: that'll be that. Or maybe some cat leave it at that.
Speaker 2: That's it, Mark, What do you want for Christmas?
Speaker 5: From me?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Where would I start? You got to give me time
Speaker 5: to think because there's so much You better hurry up
Speaker 5: because I'm doing all this this weekend. Well, let's just
Speaker 5: focus on tomorrow's food. Then we'll move forward. Okay, one
Speaker 5: step at a time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
Speaker 1: from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Maybe, just maybe the multiverse is no longer fiction or
Speaker 2: just folly, or just a part of the MCU, the
Speaker 2: Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't know much about quantum computing,
Speaker 2: but quantum computers are supposed to be the next thing
Speaker 2: when it comes to the great technological leap. Traditional computers
Speaker 2: are limited due to physics and other phenomena as far
Speaker 2: as how quickly they can do computations, and but quantum
Speaker 2: computers use quantum mechanics to calculate how complex problems that
Speaker 2: cannot currently be addressed with what are termed as classic computers.
Speaker 2: Google has a new chip and it is called Willow,
Speaker 2: and Google is claiming that Willow is so extremely fast
Speaker 2: it indicates it uses computational power from other universes.
Speaker 3: I'm not making this up. This is for real.
Speaker 2: Willo is believed to be able to solve a problem
Speaker 2: some of the most complex math problems in less in
Speaker 2: fewer than five minutes.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Heartmot Nevin, who is Google's Quantum ai founder, says the
Speaker 2: only explanation for such a feat is the influence of
Speaker 2: a parallel universe. And this is what heart Mot Nevin
Speaker 2: had to say online quote Willow's performance on this benchmark
Speaker 2: is astonishing. It performed a computation in under five minutes
Speaker 2: that will take one of today's fastest supercomputers about ten
Speaker 2: septillion years. Ten septilion is one plus twenty five zeros. So,
Speaker 2: as far as Google's concern and it's most brilliant mind,
Speaker 2: as far as Quantum AI, Heart Moot Nevin very disrespectful
Speaker 2: what his mother named him, but heart Moot says, we
Speaker 2: now have proof of a multiverse. We are not alone
Speaker 2: in these universes.
Speaker 3: You doubt this or something. No, I don't doubt it.
Speaker 2: I just I find it amazing that this is happening
Speaker 2: in my lifetime. You know, multiversal proof. We got aliens
Speaker 2: and UFOs. Pretty soon we'll be able to find where
Speaker 2: the Locke Monster is a Bigfoot. They have more convincing
Speaker 2: evidence than ever that it's hanging out somewhere in the
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest. The pictures are getting better and better. It's
Speaker 2: a great time to be alive.
Speaker 6: I believe that heart Moot and the Willow Chip are
Speaker 6: all part of a grander realization that this could all
Speaker 6: be assimilation.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's back up. People may not know.
Speaker 2: There is a growing hypothesis belief that because of the
Speaker 2: laws of physics in what they are, that they are
Speaker 2: so reliable that it's reminiscent or indicative of a very
Speaker 2: advanced computer simulation and we're all linked in a neural capacity.
Speaker 2: But this is a simulated reality, not an actual reality.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the belief.
Speaker 6: Yes, right now, there are several quantum theorists multiversal believers
Speaker 6: who think that the system is current crashing and that
Speaker 6: is why we are dealing with. As Mark calls it,
Speaker 6: a mass psychosis. It is the system crashing, you're staying,
Speaker 6: the glitch in the matrix, you could call it that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to live long enough, or it
Speaker 2: may not matter. I just want to be around, hopefully
Speaker 2: to experience time travel. I want my eighty five year
Speaker 2: old self to come back and say, we it's going
Speaker 2: to be all right, It's going to be all right.
Speaker 2: It gets better. That's all I want. I just want
Speaker 2: to meet my older self, that's all I want. I
Speaker 2: want to know that time travel is real, or you know,
Speaker 2: be able to experience it myself. I would love to
Speaker 2: be able to go into the future, assuming it's theoretically possible,
Speaker 2: and see beyond my years and see what this planet
Speaker 2: will look like if we haven't destroyed.
Speaker 3: It, like maybe.
Speaker 2: Like twenty three eighty three. Do we have warp drive?
Speaker 2: Do we have time travel? Ooh, you give us twenty
Speaker 2: three eighty three. You're very hopeful, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: If we haven't destroyed ourselves, yeah, most likely we're done for.
Speaker 6: Look, I'm not I'm not mister doom and Gloom, because
Speaker 6: I want to see where this marvel cinematic universe that
Speaker 6: we're living in goes.
Speaker 3: But twenty three eighty three. That's I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: twenty thirty.
Speaker 2: I know when they say tomorrow's not promise, they're talking
Speaker 2: about Yeah, they need literally I'm not talking about the
Speaker 2: supposed doomsday clock.
Speaker 3: But we're teetering. We are on the edge.
Speaker 2: We are almost caught into that gravitational field of circling
Speaker 2: the drain where you cannot escape it. You just end
Speaker 2: up going down to drain. We're we're right on the
Speaker 2: periphery the event horizon. We're circling. We're circling.
Speaker 6: When Burger King says we don't snitch on their social
Speaker 6: media account, we're circling, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're circling. There's a draining or we're circling man. Sorry, Mark,
Speaker 3: very quickly.
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you hope will come to be
Speaker 2: or will discover or create or find before you leave
Speaker 2: up out of here?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But I'm always interested in this talk of multi versus
Speaker 5: and time travel and stuff because I took the whole
Speaker 5: history of science and I was the only non science
Speaker 5: major to get a's all the way through the series
Speaker 5: when I was an undergraduate. All this stuff fascinates me.
Speaker 5: But you got to understand that when scientists talk about
Speaker 5: theoretical stuff like this, like multi versus time travel and like,
Speaker 5: those are just theories. They're absolutely there's nothing to those
Speaker 5: that will ever ever be true. It's just something they
Speaker 5: like to kick around and you cannot put any I
Speaker 5: wouldn't make any bets on anything happening based on that.
Speaker 3: But but I will say this.
Speaker 2: The same was said of Einstein's theory of relativity once
Speaker 2: upon a time, and incrementally we have been able to
Speaker 2: prove portions of it as far as time dilation, gravity
Speaker 2: and its impact. There are things that we we've been
Speaker 2: able to prove about some things along the way. I
Speaker 2: believe that we are technologically incapable at this point of
Speaker 2: doing a whole lot of the stuff.
Speaker 3: As far as pooving any of these theories.
Speaker 5: Well, there are theories that are ahead of their time
Speaker 5: that the rest of the world has to catch up with.
Speaker 5: And there are other things like multiverse that are basically
Speaker 5: just thought experiments that nobody's ever going to catch up
Speaker 5: with because they don't exist.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about don't exist. But that's why
Speaker 2: I say twenty three eighty three. I don't know if
Speaker 2: we can intellectually conceive of where our science and technology,
Speaker 2: since we're still in a very basic stage where will
Speaker 2: be some three hundred years from now.
Speaker 3: Oh we're children. Don't forget.
Speaker 5: We've only been pooping indoors for like one hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty years. If that, we know nothing about ourselves, our planet,
Speaker 5: the universe. And it's why I kind of hope some
Speaker 5: Platau and Gort come to slap us down and say, hey,
Speaker 5: cool it with some of this stuff before you ruin everything.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I'm holding out for quantum computing, because
Speaker 2: I think that exponentially speeds up a lot of this.
Speaker 5: That example that you brought up is the one I
Speaker 5: was referring you to the other day when we had
Speaker 5: our last talk about what could possibly come.
Speaker 3: That's good out of AI. That was one of the things.
Speaker 6: Now say, Mark is actually the program trying to reset
Speaker 6: the system and get us out of this spiral.
Speaker 5: That RAN's control. Yeah, he's another form of control. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I am the neo of KFI. Now you're the agent. Hey, hey,
Speaker 5: well I'll take that too. S. Actually it's later with
Speaker 5: Mo Kelly k IF. I am Sex forty live everywhere
Speaker 5: in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We go through all the thing that's going on, so
Speaker 1: that we can tell you just that you need to know.
