<v Speaker 2>twenty three years, that kickoff has been simultaneously held at

21
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the same time that I start this show right now

<v Speaker 2>first time in a long time, I am actually not

28
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>in the cotton Bowl. I'm not in Dallas, and that

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>is not due really to the late afternoon kickoff time.

30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>It actually is a holiday that I'm celebrating right now.

31
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm very hungry, by the way, But I'm a

32
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>toning for the lot of the I didn't it a tone.

33
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I had a really good past year. But I don't

34
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>have to keep one eye on the television and one

35
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>eye here on my script as we do the high

36
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 2>tech textan show. Hooke them horns, My dear friends, should

37
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>you be o you sooners? Hey love to hear from you.

38
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's talk trash seven to one, three two one

39
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>two five, nine to five. Oh uh? Amazon Prime Day

40
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>once again, it was this past week. If anybody got

41
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>any good deals, you know, because holiday season is almost

42
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>upon us, I'll probably start doing my holiday now. You

43
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>know my guide to holiday gift giving and deals, Black

44
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Friday deal, Cyber Monday deals, I'll start that here towards

45
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>the end of the month of October. But this was

46
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>the If not, don't freak out, You're not mistaken. This

47
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 2>was the second Amazon Prime Day or Prime Day is

48
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>this year the big one, and the big one is

49
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>always in July unless it's a COVID year. But this

50
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>is the second one. So it's another tradition. And as

51
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I've always said, Amazon, and I'm not knocking Amazon. I

52
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>mean I'm an Amazon member. Though I don't buy a

53
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>ton of stuff on Amazon. I do watch Amazon Prime

54
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 2>though Thursday night football Amazon. I call this the biggest

55
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>garage sale in the world. Amazon puts tons of things

56
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>in their partners and sellers who utilize their service. They

57
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>put tons of things on sale during Amazon Prime Days.

58
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Prime members get what free two day shipping, you know,

59
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>if you go the perks. But to me, it's in July.

60
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>This is these are the two days that it's a

61
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>fire sale. They're trying to just sell off everything that

62
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 2>has not sold year round to clear their warehouse as

63
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>an inventory, to make room for the new stuff and

64
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.599
<v Speaker 2>the new Chotsky's that they're going to sell for the

65
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 2>incoming of the next holiday season, and now they did.

66
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>It's it's still two days that they did this past week.

67
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 2>I glanced at some of the products, and believe it

68
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>or not, I actually bought This is breaking people. I

69
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>bought two items on Amazon Prime Day, and this is

70
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>probably the first time I have ever done that. Now,

71
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been an Amazon member for a long time.

72
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I join four or five years ago and I'll

73
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>use it. I don't do even though I'm the pimp

74
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 2>of technology. I don't even I don't shop online a ton.

75
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm still og where I like to go into stores

76
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and try things on and look at colors and whatever.

77
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>So maybe I'll buy five, six seven things from Amazon

78
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>in a given year. But I don't think I've ever

79
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>bought anything on Prime Day because I just I don't

80
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 2>want to get suckered into something and I really don't

81
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 2>need a lot of stuff. I mean, and that's an

82
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>honor and privilege to say that. But I did buy

83
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>two things, and I would have bought them anyway, and

84
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm holding out my hand. I totally swear about this.

85
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 2>I was surfing on when then I get back Wednesday night,

86
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and I needed one or two things because something of

87
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>that had broke on a recent trip. And another item

88
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I was using from a company that I was reviewing,

89
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>but I had to send it back to them because

90
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>it was just a review unit, and I'm like, I

91
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>need one of these for real. So I went on

92
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>and I bought it. I would have bought these items

93
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>whether it was Prime Day or not. And I even

94
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>forgot it was Prime Day until I log onto my

95
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Amazon account. I was like, oh, it's Prime Day, you know,

96
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>six more hours and eighteen minutes, and so I actually

97
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>ended up buying I bought one of which I bought

98
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a wireless microphone kit system for my cell phone to

99
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 2>see I shoot a lot of my videos on Instagram

100
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and TV for great Day, usedon and in whatever on

101
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>my cell phones because I have a great Android cell

102
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 2>phone Samsung cell phone that shoots very high pixels and

103
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I want the pictures to look great. But one of

104
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>the most important things, and this is a tip for

105
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>all you vloggers and influencers and whatever you are out there,

106
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>one of the most important things when shooting video, and

107
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>there's two or three of them, and I learned this

108
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>back in the late eighties when I went to college

109
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 2>and I studied radio, television film. Yes, you need good

110
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 2>video camera, which we have now on phones. You need

111
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 2>a good microphone. You want sound. You also want good lighting.

112
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Those are necessities to really make a good video, especially

113
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.600
<v Speaker 2>now if you want it to go viral or people

114
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>to click on it. You want to brightly lit at

115
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>least that opening image, and you want good sound. You

116
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people use their built in microphone

117
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>from their phone, which it doesn't work well. That the

118
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 2>microphone works good when you hold the phone up to

119
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>your ear and talking on the phone, it's great, But

120
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're shooting a video and if someone's holding the

121
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're taking a selfie, maybe you're someone shooting you

122
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 2>on a video, and you're six seven eight nine feet

123
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 2>or more away, and you're outside and there's other noises,

124
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to pick up a lot of that voice.

125
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>You want a microphone system, and there's a lot of

126
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.399
<v Speaker 2>wireless wire very good wireless microphone systems out there. I

127
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>recently used a Dji Mic two, the second version, second

128
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 2>generation of their microphone system. They're wireless and what it is,

129
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and you can get them in a one transmitter or

130
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 2>two transmitter, so I have two transmitters, and so I

131
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>could be interviewing or talking with another person, and we

132
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>just clipped these owner lapel and I think the range

133
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the range on this is over seven hundred feet. I mean,

134
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's a long while. So it's good for

135
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>walking and talking. It's an isolated sound that you're gonna

136
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>get some good quality. Comes in a carrying case with

137
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>a charging case, and it comes with a receiver that

138
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.639
<v Speaker 2>you can plug into either your Android phone or your

139
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Apple iPhone. That whole system is two hundred and fifty

140
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 2>to three hundred dollars. Okay, it's that's listen. If you're

141
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>using it on a regular basis and you want quality, yeah,

142
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Dji Mic two is great. But I also saw some

143
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>similar ones, and I'm gonna try this one out. I literally,

144
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm not kidding out. I think I paid thirty five dollars.

145
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 2>I think I made thirty five or thirty eight dollars.

146
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 2>It's got a charging case, it's got two transmitters, it's

147
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 2>got one receiver. It came yesterday. It came Friday because

148
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I ordered it on Wednesday Amazon Prime. I haven't played

149
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>with it. Yet, but I will let you know next

150
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>week if it works. The range is only supposed to

151
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>be one hundred and sixty five feet, which is fine.

152
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't shoot anything further the way than that,

153
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>but this is one of the must and so that's

154
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 2>one of the things I bought. So as we take

155
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>our first break here of the High Tech Texan Show,

156
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>what did you get for Amazon Prime Day? Did you

157
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>get a heck of a deal? You want to share

158
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>it with us? Maybe the deal is still there. And

159
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 2>this all lays up to the holiday shopping guide and

160
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>tips that I'm going to be talking about when we

161
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>do come back. I am going to talk about something

162
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>that really very scary thing that happened this week. It

163
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>was a hurricane. Hurricane Milton just devastated the Tampa Saint

164
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Pete central Florida area. I'm going to talk about what

165
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>a product that a Tampa Bay hospital used to stop

166
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:01.399
<v Speaker 2>the storm surge. It's a commercial use only thing and

167
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>it worked. The power worked, it stayed on, there was

168
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>no flooding here in this that they and there in

169
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>this company is getting ready to make a consumer version

170
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>two and so for everybody living in the Houston the

171
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Galveston area. This may be something you want to know.

172
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Plus also how to stay safe when cell phone towers

173
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>are down, and also how to track people as best

174
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 2>as we can. Should you have some people in that

175
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 2>horrific zone that did so much damnas this past week.

176
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Michael Barklay, It is the high tech texting showed that

177
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>is right, just to order that big blooming voice. This

178
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>is U the high tech Texan show. But doing this

179
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>well over two decades. Somehow I still have my voice

180
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>a big hello nice as I monitor my email. Michael

181
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Garfield at ifartmedia dot com. I've got Rich listening. Rich

182

213
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>could put me through the We who live in the

214
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Gulf Coast, certainly in the Houston, the Galasteria, all we

215
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>know all too well about hurricanes, don't we. Central Florida

216
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't know a lot about hurricane until a few days

217
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 2>ago when Milton just man, have you seen the pictures

218
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of the video just barreled? It was a category five

219
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>at some point. I think it hit land at category three.

220
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It is just it just devastated. What a dozen people

221
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.679
<v Speaker 2>lost their lives. It just I don't know how many

222
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of millions of dollars it's gonna cost to repair things.

223
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>The Tropicana Field where the Tampa Bay Rays play baseball,

224
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the roof is gone. I mean, just imagine

225
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the astrodome with the roof blown off. You know what,

226
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Come to think of it, that actually probably would be

227
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>the best outcome of a hurricane hitting Houston is for

228
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>it to destroy the astrodom. And oh yes, I did

229
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>say that. And if you're a longtime lister of mine,

230
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm not a fan of the astrodom any longer. Okay,

231
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>it's an icewhere that needs to go. I never want

232
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 2>a hurricane to go anywhere. I never want a hurricane

233
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>to come through Houston. I never want a hurricane to

234
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.720
<v Speaker 2>come through Houston. That actually is so devastating. It still

235
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>hits fifty five to sixty miles north of Galveston, which

236
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>is roughly where the astrodome is. I don't want it

237
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>to happen, I really don't. But if it does, I

238
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>want that thing flattened. Okay, just get rid of it. Okay,

239
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>that's enough of my little die tribe over here. But

240
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the Tropicana Field, it just it looks horrible, and they're

241
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to rebuild that. If it's I think they

242
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>were the Bays, the Tampa Bay Rays were going to

243
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>either upgrade that or move in a few years. Now's

244
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 2>the time to do that. Neither here nor there. One

245
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.960
<v Speaker 2>of the facilities that was still standing was a hospital

246
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>was Tampa General Hospital. No relation to General Hospital TV

247
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 2>show that I was on thirteen years ago, but it's

248
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Tampa General Hospital. And what they did is they utilize

249
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 2>something that I think is it's very cool. I don't

250
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>know the cost of this thing, but it's called an

251
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.279
<v Speaker 2>aqua fence, an aqua fence, and it's really exactly actly

252
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>what you think it is. It is a temporary fence

253
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that was put up knowing that this hurricane was going

254
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 2>to come through and he could stop. It's a barrier

255
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>for water surges. And I believe it's a ten foot

256
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 2>high fence. And imagine this. Imagine you know sometimes when

257
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.440
<v Speaker 2>you go to a concert and there's barriers and there's

258
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 2>this wall that's generally maybe sometimes only four feet tall

259
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that you know, security guards, you're on the other side,

260
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and you're on the other side, and the whole thing.

261
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.080
<v Speaker 2>It's the same thing, but it's bigger, and it's secured,

262
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 2>very very strong. And they surrounded the hospital with this

263
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 2>fence and actually have a price for you that cost

264
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 2>anywhere between three hundred and fifty dollars to one thousand

265
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars per linear foot. So imagine how big a hospital

266
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>grounds are I mean a lot. I mean this is

267
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 2>an investment. It's a company out of Norway, been around

268
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.519
<v Speaker 2>since nineteen ninety nine. Says it protects now more than

269
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty billion dollars worth of real estate in the United

270
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 2>States across twenty four states. They shield hotels, banks a

271
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>number of things. When what it does, these are reusable.

272
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 2>You think you could put them up and you could

273
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>take it down about sixty different times and it it.

274
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying it's saved, but it withstood Hurricane Helene

275
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 2>not long ago, and Hurricane Milton. They just came through.

276
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.519
<v Speaker 2>It's a one inch thick panel. It secures to the

277
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 2>ground and with stands high winds while protecting floods building

278
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>from flooding. That's pretty cool. And I'm looking at pictures

279
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of this thing and I guess, I guess it's aqua fence.

280
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Just go google aqua FEDS. But it was. That's smart.

281
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening in the Galleston area or anywhere along

282
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the coastline, bow Mi anulus and our signal here. He

283
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>goes all over the area, goes all the way to

284
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 2>bow Minded Big actually touches into parts of Noir, into Louisiana.

285
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Is this something that you want to invest in if

286
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you have a business. Now, I read that at some

287
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>point they are going to develop for consumers for houses.

288
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>They're developing a residential model that would cost around twenty

289
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars per household. And I'm gonna stop there and

290
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna leave this. I'm gonna let that sit with you,

291
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna let this open for discussion. Seven one three, two,

292
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 2>one two, five nine five zero. Would you pay twenty

293
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars that have a fence that not guaranteed? I

294
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 2>don't I believe there's not guaranteed. I don't know if

295
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>the aquafinse guarantees it. But it's been proven to work

296
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 2>to round your home to stop high waters from washing

297
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.319
<v Speaker 2>your house away. Now think about this. It doesn't stop

298
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>the winds from taking off of your roof, things flying

299
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>through your windows, freeze down falling on top of your roof.

300
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>But it's just for these storm surges. They think the

301
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>answer is where do you live? How much is your

302
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:33.400
<v Speaker 2>house worth? What's the value to you at twenty thousand

303
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 2>dollars per house? And I want you to think about

304
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>this too, What also can you get for twenty thousand dollars? Well,

305
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 2>I want you to think about how much you paid

306
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.440
<v Speaker 2>at a lot of people bought them this year. How

307
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>much did you pay for your whole home generator? You know,

308
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 2>how much did you pay for a company to come

309
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:53.960
<v Speaker 2>out and install generat generator or whatever brand it was,

310
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Some of these cost over ten thousand dollars. Some of

311
00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 2>them cost over twenty thousand dollars, depending how big your

312
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>house is, how many times a year does that kick in,

313
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.599
<v Speaker 2>and when you use it when you have a power outage.

314
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.680
<v Speaker 2>It's nice to have. It's it's it's it's it's like

315
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.720
<v Speaker 2>an insurance policy that keeps the air condition you refrigerator running.

316
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Would you spend another twenty thousand dollars for this high

317
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.119
<v Speaker 2>tech aqua fence to be built around your home? It's

318
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I particularly again, everybody has a different answer.

319
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I particularly would not. Whatever what hurricane was it, Barrel

320
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Hurricane Barrel came through. It barreled through last July and

321
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.799
<v Speaker 2>it went I believe literally the eye went right over

322
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 2>my house, right over southwest side of Houston, knock Wood.

323
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>It was Category one. I think by then else is

324
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>still standing. No damage to the roof. I was lucky.

325
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I think a few a few of my neighbors had

326
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 2>some roof damage. Power was out for maybe forty hours,

327
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe it was a day and a half. And that's

328
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 2>the longest in the eight years that I've owed my house,

329
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 2>my power has ever been out. I'm very lucky, so

330
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I would not. I am not in the market for one.

331
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.799
<v Speaker 2>But if you're along the coastline, if you're near a lake,

332
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're near a body of water, think about this day.

333
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 2>So again I'm the guy who makes you think. I

334
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>ask you questions. Now when we come back too, I'm

335
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.720
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about the technology to keep you around,

336
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>to keep your sanity when it comes to hurricane or

337
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to power outages. And I know it's like,

338
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>why is he talking about it? Now? It's mid October?

339
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Guess what hurricane season the last through November thirtieth. We've

340
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>got a month and a half to go. And if

341
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>you already know, guess what happened less than forty eight

342
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to seventy two hours ago. We already had a massive

343
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>hurricane just destroyed central Florida. I am here to give

344
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:49.640
<v Speaker 2>your tips, just like a oil I am Michael Garfield.

345
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Before we continue, was just fun hi tech textan show

346
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 2>and a big college football Saturday just because it's the

347
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Texas ou Gang, which is not starting it normally. It

348
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.599
<v Speaker 2>kicks off at eleven am right now. Actually what thirty

349
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.920
<v Speaker 2>minutes ago? Nope to thirty today, So standby a big

350
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 2>shout out to my boys over at US Coins and Jewelry.

351
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I was there Thursday. Yeah, I popped over there Thursday,

352
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 2>saw Matthew Duncan. I made a little I made a

353
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 2>little Instagram video. These guys are so good and it

354
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 2>was I don't want to it's bad analogy because I'm

355
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about hurricanes. It was the call before the storm.

356
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Got there, right before lunchtime, and I walk in. It

357
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 2>was relatively quiet. Relatively quiet because when they usually walk

358
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 2>in there. Man, I love it because it's hustle and bustle,

359
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and there there's Will behind the desk and he's looking

360
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.400
<v Speaker 2>at all these coins people are bringing in and offering

361
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 2>money for him because they buy and sell coins, obviously,

362
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>but relatively what. Matthew and I had time to chat

363
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 2>and I flipped a one of my watches. They sell

364
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Rolex watches. They got a great selection there too, and

365
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.880
<v Speaker 2>boy they've got some hard to find ones. I ended

366
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 2>up getting a Batman. There's a bat do you know

367
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>there was a Batman Rolex. There's a Hulk, There's a Pepsi.

368
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.920
<v Speaker 2>There's they got there. They come up with these crazy names.

369
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a sprite, so no way one of the things

370
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:24.880
<v Speaker 2>that I did, and I did some videos. So if

371
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.279
<v Speaker 2>you follow me on high Tech Texan h I g

372
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:29.880
<v Speaker 2>h t e c h t e x a n

373
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram one of the several videos that I posted

374
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.240
<v Speaker 2>this week, and you go in if you uh, Holliday season,

375
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>they're just going to be crazy busy, sportsparmabilia, coins, jewelry,

376
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.039
<v Speaker 2>women's jewelry, ear rings, tennis bracelets. But it's if you

377
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 2>want to start really getting into coin collecting, you want

378
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 2>to start, your kids or your grandkids, great place to start.

379
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 2>There's just there're new mismatists on steroids. I am allowed

380
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>to say that new mismatist. That's someone who collects coins, right,

381
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 2>versus a philatalist, which I out also can say on

382
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the radio. I am. I'm not a philatalist, but I

383
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.559
<v Speaker 2>used to be easy does it? People do not arrest me? No, no, no,

384
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.400
<v Speaker 2>it's a person who collects stamps and my grandparents started

385
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>that damn collection for me. But us coins and jewelry.

386
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>They're on Katie Freeway, just outside Loop six ' ten

387
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.880
<v Speaker 2>at Voss Voss Rokay. They are open today. They're probably listening.

388
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.400
<v Speaker 2>They have not KPRC nine to fifty two and in,

389
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Hey guys, girls us coins and Julie. So if you

390
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>go in, tellt me you heard it on the Michael

391
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Gartfield High Tech Textan show. These guys are great. Speaking

392
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.640
<v Speaker 2>of hurricanes, we still have a month and a half

393
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>in hurricane season. It goes to November thirtieth, believe it

394
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 2>or not. And you know, for my over the air

395
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>listening audience in the Houston galveson DMA, you know how

396
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>devastating a hurricane can be. Hurricane Barrel came barreling through

397
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the Houston area in early July. Power is out for

398
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 2>a quite a while. For most number of my listeners

399
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.079
<v Speaker 2>out there, you don't dy how would you use it?

400
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.960
<v Speaker 2>How do you be prepared? And and I've talked about

401
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 2>this for twenty years that I've done on the radio,

402
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Things and things pop up because of the technology. There

403
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>are apps, there are gadget devices that can help you.

404
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 2>We'll go over it again. Yes, you always want to

405
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>make sure how how can your phone help during the hurricane.

406
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>It could be a lifeline if you think about it.

407
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Many smart many smartphones right now they're waterproof, or at

408
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.920
<v Speaker 2>least they're water resistance. And if your current smartphone is

409
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.000
<v Speaker 2>not waterproof, Why don't you run out, like right now

410
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and get a waterproof case for it, sealable or reusable.

411
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean you've seen these pouches. I actually have one

412
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>of these if and when I ever go on a boat.

413
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like a very high end baggy that kind of

414
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like a ziplock that that zips that you could

415
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.200
<v Speaker 2>put a lot of your your things that you don't

416
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>want ruin. Put your passport, put your your money in there,

417
00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and certainly put your phone in there. But as a lasts,

418
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.559
<v Speaker 2>if you have some thick zip lock bags, maybe an

419
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>emergency kit, put your phone in there too. Put your

420
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 2>phone in there. When you're shopping for a gadget, maybe

421
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a new phone. You want to consider the if

422
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:20.599
<v Speaker 2>it's water resistant, and there's a rating called the IP.

423
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:23.759
<v Speaker 2>And then I'll follow by a number that you should

424
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>look at and consider, especially if you are if you're

425
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 2>a boater, if you travel, if you're prone to drop

426
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 2>in your phone and around your bathroom or your tub,

427
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, it's the IP. Right P stands in

428
00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 2>this case, it stands for ingress protection I n gr

429
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 2>eess ingress protection, meaning that it could be submerged in

430
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 2>fresh water for up to x number of fee for

431
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 2>up the x number of minutes. I suggest you get

432
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 2>something that's at least IP sixty eight rated. And if

433
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 2>you've got an IP sixty eight or higher, you can

434
00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 2>be in water up to five feet for up to

435
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes without doing any any harm, any bad harm.

436
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:08.519
<v Speaker 2>And then there's backup power too. What's your backup power solution?

437
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Backup power is essential in whether related emergencies. You know,

438
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 2>if you have cell service in your area, you may

439
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 2>not have power. You may be able to access to

440
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>working power outlet, but without power, your smartphone is useless.

441
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 2>It it's like a box that it came in. It's

442
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.759
<v Speaker 2>not a big deal. Get a little power bank. Get

443
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>these little power banks that started ten to fifteen dollars.

444
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>You could juice up a smartphone at least once. Get

445
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.519
<v Speaker 2>one with a higher milla amp. That's that thing is

446
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>the m ah. The more milli amps, the more times

447
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:40.279
<v Speaker 2>it can charge up a phone or another device.

448
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I have.

449
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>I have ad with batteries. The maximum milliamp battery you

450
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.559
<v Speaker 2>can carry on a plane I believe is twenty thousand

451
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>or twenty three thousand milli amps. That's it's a heavy.

452
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 2>That thing probably weighs a good two to three pounds.

453
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I took it when I was traveling. I traveled at

454
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a national a few times this summer. I took that

455
00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 2>thing because I knew if I needed to charge my

456
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 2>lap thought it was going to last a long, long time.

457
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>But think about this. I mean, you have someone in

458
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>your family, may have a seatpap machine when they sleep.

459
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>You need that. Medical equipment, small appliances. Yes, you got laptops,

460
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.400
<v Speaker 2>you got lights, you know, go get some. You could

461
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 2>get some portable power generators that can run. I had

462
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.759
<v Speaker 2>a neighbor of mine I was with was at an

463
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:25.440
<v Speaker 2>event when so Wednesday night, I saw a neighbor and

464
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:29.039
<v Speaker 2>we were talking and my neighbor and we don't lose

465
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 2>power a lot, as I had said, in the six

466
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>seven eight years I've lived in my house, I mean

467
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I've lost power. I can count out one hand if

468
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.279
<v Speaker 2>it hadn't been for more than maybe a day and

469
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>a half. In the day and a half it was

470
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 2>with Hurricane Barrel, this pass Shula, and luckily I was

471
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.680
<v Speaker 2>out of town, and I asked, we talked about did

472
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 2>you get us one of these home whole home generators?

473
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And they didn't want us to spend the money. They

474
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to spend twelve thirteen, fifteen thousand dollars. And

475
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I'm down with you, baby, because we're lucky.

476
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 2>We our houses. Our homes are relatively new and we

477
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 2>live in it that hasn't been hit. But they wanted

478
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to go out and they wanted to buy a portable

479
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 2>power generator. These things are much cheaper. These things are

480
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I can go get four hundred, five hundred, and if

481
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 2>you really want to spend one thousand dollars, you could

482
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>do that. But what they are there, they're very large batteries.

483
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.799
<v Speaker 2>They're very large and very heavy. I have two of

484
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>them that I've been playing with. One of them maybe

485
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is maybe about twenty five pounds, and I've got another

486
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.559
<v Speaker 2>weighs about thirty five pounds. I charge them up by

487
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>plugging them them and I check it every few months,

488
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.759
<v Speaker 2>especially during especially during hurricane season. It's I'm always in

489
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine to one. What it is. If my and

490
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I used it twice in my house, if my power

491
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 2>goes off, I go to my garage and I pick

492
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 2>up this battery, and luckily I'm strong, and I take

493
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>it to my kitchen because I want my refrigerator running.

494
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>The model I have it will power a refrigerator because

495
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.519
<v Speaker 2>it's got the typical AC and DC inlets. Mine has

496
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:01.880
<v Speaker 2>six different outlets that you could plug in. So I

497
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>can plug in a fan, I can plug in two fans.

498
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I can plug in a charger for my phone. I

499
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>can plug in my refrigerator, I can plug in a light.

500
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I can plug in a number of different things. Also

501
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.039
<v Speaker 2>has some of usbc's in USB courts for USBA and

502
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>USBC runs. Maybe I think this one was about four

503
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:20.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and five hundred and six hundred dollars. Let me

504
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>help you out. It's a heck of a lot cheaper

505
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.240
<v Speaker 2>than having a whole home generator installed with the natural gas.

506
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to wait to your city comes to

507
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.160
<v Speaker 2>approve it. With permits. Now no get you may want

508
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to go get in one of those. It let you

509
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 2>plug in some of them let you plug in up

510
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>to ten appliances. So that was a really interesting conversation

511
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 2>that my neighbor had. She went out, I believe, the

512
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 2>next day and bought one. The way. Did you know

513
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:51.039
<v Speaker 2>you still can call nine one one from your mobile

514
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>phone even if you do not have an active cell

515
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:57.079
<v Speaker 2>phone plan. You do not need to pay for cell

516
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:01.039
<v Speaker 2>service to call nine one one. Bottom line out of

517
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.160
<v Speaker 2>bad idea to keep it old. The activated phone in

518
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.640
<v Speaker 2>your emergency kit, maybe your glove compartment. Make sure it's charge.

519
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Make sure it's charged. You can call, you can, did

520
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you know? You can also text nine to one one

521
00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 2>if you can't talk. If you need to be silent,

522
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>you need to be registered for the night for that

523
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>nine to one one service with your wirelest provider. You

524
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 2>could do that too. Other ways thing it. If you

525
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:26.960
<v Speaker 2>have bad service, you find something with Wi Fi. If

526
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you have no cell but WiFi, use WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger,

527
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 2>use FaceTime, red Cross. They offer a number of different things, folks.

528
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>It may you think it's oh, hurricane season's over. It's

529
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.039
<v Speaker 2>too late. It's not gonna happen to me. It could.

530
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:48.359
<v Speaker 2>There's tornadoes, there's floods. Life not certain. I am an

531
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Eagle Scout, one of the youngest ones in the history

532
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:51.920
<v Speaker 2>of Boy Scouts. I was an Eagle Scout when I

533
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:56.119
<v Speaker 2>was thirteen, and I continue to practice and be prepared.

534
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I want you to be prepared. That's why you listen

535
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 2>to my show right all right, one more, one more

536
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>segment this hour before we continue all the way to

537
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>one pm. It's to our radio show.

538
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 4>So much to talk about, maybe a few things to

539
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:19.160
<v Speaker 4>give away, so don't go anywhere.

540
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it past a few minutes until the top of

541
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the twelve noon out. If you're listening live the old school,

542
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:43.079
<v Speaker 2>there's still the cool way, the cool kids listening to

543
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 2>us on nine to fifty am radio. This is a

544
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 2>radio show. The best way to describe it to you

545
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>young kids out there, millennials, Generation A, whatever you call yourselves.

546
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.519
<v Speaker 2>It's like a podcast, but it's better because you know,

547
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>my voice right now is beam you know, over five

548
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:09.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand watts across southeast Texas and into Louisiana right now.

549
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Huh beat that on a podcast. Well, it probably could.

550
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>It's different though, But as soon as the one o'clock

551
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:19.279
<v Speaker 2>hour hits, calib is going to zip this two hour

566
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 2>thought so too. A phone number here and what I call,

567
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 2>which generally you can't do on podcasts because podcasted podcasts

568
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 2>generally aren't live, they're recorded. But here this is what

569
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 2>radio is people seven one three, two one two five

570
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>nine five O. You know, speaking of which generations? Where

571
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:25.279
<v Speaker 2>did I see this? I saw a story over here

572
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 2>of the different generation names and years because we we

573
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:34.559
<v Speaker 2>we know Baby boomers, we know Gen X I'm a

574
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Gen x er, we know millennials, and it was it

575
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>was really interesting read. But it was also about how

576
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>times and things have changed, what each generation has gone through, why,

577
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 2>why it's it's just different. And let me see if

578
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I can find this real quickly. Oh here it is

579
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 2>no where is that thing? So there's a gen x

580
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a gen xer. Then there's millennials, and then there's

581
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:11.079
<v Speaker 2>gen Z gen Z. There we go gen Z. If

582
00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 2>you were born between nineteen ninety seven, twenty twelve, year

583
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>gen Z and then here here's the new one. If

584
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:26.119
<v Speaker 2>you were born between twenty thirteen and today. You know

585
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 2>what it's called. Anyone anyone you are gin Alpha, That is,

586
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 2>according to USA today, gin Alpha, then Alpha. Who came

587
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 2>up with that man? Anything sexier than that?

588
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:45.279
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

589
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Die? There's a map of where most of them live.

590
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 2>But it got into a discussion of a generational uchdone.

591
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.079
<v Speaker 2>One of the ways is they talked about music. How

592
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>do we consume music? What did we listen to music

593
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 2>when we were born, when we grew up? It will

594
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.079
<v Speaker 2>define your generation. I mean from the early days of

595
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 2>vinyl records, to radio, to cassettes, to CDs, to streaming

596
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:18.679
<v Speaker 2>services now social media platforms. I mean music listening formats.

597
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>They're baked into each generation's formative years. When I grew

598
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>up a I mean, think about it. I was a

599
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.880
<v Speaker 2>very early as I'm aging myself, a very early gin exer.

600
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 2>I was born in the very early early cust of

601
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>gen X if you want to go research that. I

602
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 2>remember my dad had a real to reel tape. Not

603
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.239
<v Speaker 2>a lot of homes consumers use real to reel listen.

604
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.239
<v Speaker 2>I learned how to splice that interring my radio intelligsion

605
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and film classes in the eighties when I came to radio.

606
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:56.760
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of my radio that some of the

607
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>ILK that I work with over here, who are my age,

608
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.559
<v Speaker 2>are a little older still in radio. Believe it or not.

609
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.239
<v Speaker 2>I know they're laughing and listening right now, going good.

610
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Remember taking the razor blade and taking the tape and

611
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 2>splicing together, and think, yeah, that's how we used to

612
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:12.159
<v Speaker 2>edit that stuff. I remember real the real But then

613
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I remember I had a record player, and then we

614
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 2>had a thirty three and a third and we had

615
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the forty five records of the singles, and we had

616
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:22.880
<v Speaker 2>the albums, and then it was the cassette and I

617
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.000
<v Speaker 2>did jump over the eight track tape. I had an

618
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.079
<v Speaker 2>eight track tape, not that that was semi popular, but

619
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the cassette tape was awesome. It was so small, and

620
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.760
<v Speaker 2>you had a cassette tape in your car. You get

621
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>your first car in the late seventies and the eighties,

622
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:35.280
<v Speaker 2>and you got a cassette player and you just pop

623
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:37.800
<v Speaker 2>in little you know, I had, you know, the thriller,

624
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, Michael Jackson, John Googar, Melon Cap, Holloo, It's

625
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 2>a journey Man. My first cassette I ever got, ever

626
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 2>got nineteen eighty one, it was journey Escape. Played that.

627
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>By the time I graduated college, CDs had hit the market.

628
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Had to go and take all my money I got

629
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 2>from graduation. I bought me a pimp stereo system. Man, Yeah,

630
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.239
<v Speaker 2>that's right, man. I got me a cassette player, got

631
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the hamp of Fire, got everything. Then all of a sudden,

632
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Apple comes along, and then Apple starts they offering iTunes,

633
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 2>and then it was uh, you could buy and download

634
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 2>these songs for ninety nine cents, and then streaming came along.

635
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Then on our radio comes along. Generations are so different,

636
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you know. TV always has been there in some way,

637
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:34.159
<v Speaker 2>shape or form. TVs to me, there was really only

638
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>three hops, three different versions of TV, one of which,

639
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:40.719
<v Speaker 2>let's just call it was I'm gonna call it black

640
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 2>and white TV. Black and white TV was the only

641
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.880
<v Speaker 2>thing you got, which how do I even describe black

642
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and white TV to you, I'll though, Jennilfahs, it was

643
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:54.719
<v Speaker 2>TV you're watching, you know, with all the vivid colors.

644
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 2>But it was black and white. That that's it. There

645
00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 2>was white and there was just start stuff. That's it.

646
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>The mid nineteen sixties that's when it changed and TV

647
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.639
<v Speaker 2>shows were starting to be able to They shot them

648
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>in color with Technicolor, with color cameras. That was dividing

649
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:18.119
<v Speaker 2>point one to two. It was color TV. After that,

650
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody had to get a color TV. Evs weren't nice

651
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and thin that hung on the wall. They were big,

652
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.119
<v Speaker 2>old think heavy mamas. They were built into consoles like

653
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 2>my grandparents. Man, my grandparents had such a cool one.

654
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 2>They had a big old TV on one side and

655
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:33.280
<v Speaker 2>they had a record player on the other side, all

656
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:35.559
<v Speaker 2>built into this beautiful wood console. Waited as much as

657
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:40.039
<v Speaker 2>a car. And then it was the early two thousands

658
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.280
<v Speaker 2>that was the next dividing line. And to me, that's

659
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 2>where we are right now, and that's where digital, the

660
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.320
<v Speaker 2>standard of broadcasting was mandatory that everything go digital. High

661
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.960
<v Speaker 2>definition came in. TV's got thin very expensive. Now they're

662
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 2>relatively inexpensive. I guess we could say there's a dividing

663
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 2>line right now, maybe there's a three point five right now,

664
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:03.440
<v Speaker 2>third and a half dite where we're now consuming videos

665
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 2>on our mobile devices. But they're mobile devices, they're not televisions.

666
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.400
<v Speaker 2>It's the difference between all of these generations, which are you.

667
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. We gotta take a break right now.

704
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:42.679
<v Speaker 2>world of automobiles yesterday, Tesla did you see this? Tesla

705
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:46.079
<v Speaker 2>has announced Elon Musk. Yes, that's right. He was out

706
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in California, Burbank, actually California. He announced another interesting vehicle

707
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:58.960
<v Speaker 2>from his company. It is a self driving taxi. Is

708
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the robot taxi that's been long awaited. There's a name

709
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:08.760
<v Speaker 2>for it. Finally, it is called the cyber Cab. The

710
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:13.639
<v Speaker 2>cyber Cab, and I watched the online press conference and

711
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:17.559
<v Speaker 2>it took a little deciphering of what the hell is

712
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:23.119
<v Speaker 2>this thing. It's a futuristic looking vehicle, but it does

713
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:26.280
<v Speaker 2>not have a steering wheel and it does not have pedals,

714
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:29.679
<v Speaker 2>but it does come with a promise from the man

715
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:33.079
<v Speaker 2>himself that it will arrive sometime in twenty twenty six

716
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:37.719
<v Speaker 2>and costs less than thirty thousand dollars. And you can't

717
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.719
<v Speaker 2>see me here in studio, but I'm using air quotes

718
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:46.000
<v Speaker 2>with the promise. I don't know, man, I don't know. Hey,

719
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:50.360
<v Speaker 2>is it a tax So it's self driving? Which number

720
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 2>one is nothing new Tesla in this area. They're playing

721
00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>catchup because Waimo Waymo, which is owned by Google's parent

722
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:06.639
<v Speaker 2>company called Alphabet, they've had driverless taxis for years. They

723
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:09.760
<v Speaker 2>say it provides more than one hundred thousand paid rides

724
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.960
<v Speaker 2>per week in San Francisco and Phoenix and La where

725
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:18.559
<v Speaker 2>they have these things General Motors. They have robot cabs themselves.

726
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.519
<v Speaker 2>It's called Cruise.

727
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:21.039
<v Speaker 4>You know.

728
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 2>They had to recently put humans behind the wheel after

729
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:30.039
<v Speaker 2>a pedestrian was critically injured. Last year. Amazon Amazon themselves

730
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.599
<v Speaker 2>they have they're testing a driverless van zookszo X. This

731
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.760
<v Speaker 2>is nothing really new, but because it's Elon, you know,

732
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Elon has these press Conferencisco very Steve jobsish like back

733
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:47.599
<v Speaker 2>of the day, and so it's going to attract attention

734
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:50.639
<v Speaker 2>because Tesla, yes, pretty much first to market when it

735
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:53.960
<v Speaker 2>comes to the electric vehicles, and because Elon is just

736
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Elon man, it's just wherever he goes, he gets coverage.

737
00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:01.519
<v Speaker 2>It's smart marketing on him off to pump himself up.

738
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about this little Is this something you

739
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:10.440
<v Speaker 2>has anybody ever ridden in a driverless car? I have,

740
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:13.679
<v Speaker 2>and it's just freaky DK And I think one of

741
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the reasons why it really hasn't taken off, it's not

742
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:25.280
<v Speaker 2>because the technology is not there. It's not because they're unsafe,

743
00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:28.360
<v Speaker 2>because in many cases they are. They use cameras, they

744
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.800
<v Speaker 2>use GPS, they use LIEDAR, which is a type of

745
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:36.440
<v Speaker 2>another type of similar to radar. It's just it's a

746
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.840
<v Speaker 2>paradigm shift, and it's ingrained in our brains, going, how

747
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:43.719
<v Speaker 2>in the world can I be driving in a vehicle

748
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.280
<v Speaker 2>or riding in a vehicle? Would nobody driving the car?

749
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:50.920
<v Speaker 2>It's scary. The first time I ever saw one of these,

750
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I flew to San Francisco for something and I was

751
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:56.960
<v Speaker 2>was I driving was I may have rented a car

752
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:00.119
<v Speaker 2>at San Francisco Airport, driving north to San Francisco, the

753
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:03.320
<v Speaker 2>city itself, and I'm on the what is it, the

754
00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I five or whatever it is it up there and

755
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm next to me. All of a sudden, I look

756
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:09.679
<v Speaker 2>over and there is a car, no one in there,

757
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.519
<v Speaker 2>no one, no passengers, but there was no driver, you know,

758
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:14.719
<v Speaker 2>and had all these cameras systems on, and it was

759
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just freaky to look at from the outside. And I

760
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.679
<v Speaker 2>slowed down because I didn't want to get anywhere near

761
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.400
<v Speaker 2>this day for fear it would change lanes and crash

762
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 2>or something. It didn't. There's there's still questions to you know,

763
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:28.480
<v Speaker 2>what if it gets in a wreck and you know

764
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.480
<v Speaker 2>who's responsible, you know, how do you ensure this thing?

765
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.920
<v Speaker 2>It's whatever this is gonna come to this is something

766
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you want to do. And the funny thing is about

767
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the cyber cab. It's a robota. When I hear the

768
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.880
<v Speaker 2>word taxi, when I hear the word cyber cab, it's okay.

769
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.400
<v Speaker 2>It's something that I'm going to be driven in. But

770
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.159
<v Speaker 2>they're also going to sell these to the public, So

771
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:52.719
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna sell them to the public. And it doesn't

772
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.599
<v Speaker 2>have a steering wheel, it doesn't have any pedals. You're

773
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:56.760
<v Speaker 2>just going to I mean, you want a paradigm shift.

774
00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's say you buy one of these cyber cabs, which

775
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.000
<v Speaker 2>which is for the first one? It looks pretty cool?

776
00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.119
<v Speaker 2>Is that gonna is what the actual one is gonna

777
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:10.039
<v Speaker 2>look like? Looks like a mini mini cyber truck. A

778
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 2>paradigm shift is okay, you're gonna have this is this

779
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:15.199
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be your everyday car. Instead of getting at

780
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:18.119
<v Speaker 2>the driver's seat, you're now for the rest of your lifetime,

781
00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:22.679
<v Speaker 2>you're getting in the passenger seat. Why even have a

782
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.559
<v Speaker 2>door on the front left hand side because you ain't

783
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna get in there. There's no reason to well, other

784
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:37.800
<v Speaker 2>than just to sit. It's it's it's totally autonomous. I'm

785
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:41.480
<v Speaker 2>just not sure that the world is ready for this day. Tesla,

786
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:43.400
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and this is fact that I'm not

787
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.079
<v Speaker 2>ragging on testlade love It's a Texas based company, which

788
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I love me some Texas. It's losing ground to competitors

789
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.280
<v Speaker 2>in China and even here in the US. Its share

790
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.679
<v Speaker 2>of the electric car market fell below fifty percent this year.

791
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 2>It stock is down forty percent from its record high,

792
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 2>which was back in twenty twenty one. But but Tesla

793
00:46:02.239 --> 00:46:05.559
<v Speaker 2>and Elon, they have staked the future on self driving

794
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:11.559
<v Speaker 2>technology and artificial intelligence. I'll give you a quick good

795
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.320
<v Speaker 2>and bad before you get out of here. Tesla could

796
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:17.360
<v Speaker 2>win because it is able to collect tons of data

797
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:21.440
<v Speaker 2>for millions of its cars already on the road. Plus

798
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the self driving technology that Tesla uses it's it's cheaper

799
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 2>than those that are used by other companies like Waimow,

800
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:32.719
<v Speaker 2>so it could potentially undercut them on the price. Could

801
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 2>be a big win for Tesla. But Tesla still needs

802
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 2>regulatory approval to operate its robotaxis on public roads. Still

803
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:46.039
<v Speaker 2>hasn't contacted the California Public Utilities Commission as of right

804
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:49.400
<v Speaker 2>now about even applying for autonomous permits. This was just

805
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:51.639
<v Speaker 2>a press conference. That's it, but again it caused me

806
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.119
<v Speaker 2>to talk four minutes about Tesla and give it some

807
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:58.679
<v Speaker 2>free publicity. So Tesla, congrats one of the winners this week.

808
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And let's hope the Longhorns ride by on you all right,

809
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:04.719
<v Speaker 2>break time right now seven one three, two, one two five,

810
00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:06.800
<v Speaker 2>nine to five. Though, if you want to call, say hi,

811
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.199
<v Speaker 2>I asked questions, we could talk cars coming back. I

812
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.159
<v Speaker 2>do talk about cars and trucks. I will tell you. Actually,

813
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.280
<v Speaker 2>we could play the game what's Michael driving this week?

814
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Because every single week I get to test drive a

815
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:19.639
<v Speaker 2>new car, not from a dealership but directly from a manufacturer.

816
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you my thoughts. It is not paid, not sponsored,

817
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.679
<v Speaker 2>so I can rag on any car. But I'll tell

818
00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:28.599
<v Speaker 2>you the truck. It's an SUV I was driving, big name.

819
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you if I like it, if I

820
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:33.760
<v Speaker 2>don't like it, And uh, how much does bad Boy costs?

821
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Coming up?

822
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:34.440
<v Speaker 4>After this?

823
00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Twelve o'clock you're noon here on a Saturday is the

824
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Gone show? I'd somewhere tree. I do not tell you

825
00:47:55.519 --> 00:47:58.280
<v Speaker 2>lightly that you spend two hours on Saturdays for the

826
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.840
<v Speaker 2>past two plus decades listening to me. I want to

827
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.480
<v Speaker 2>reward you. I want to reward somebody, at least on

828
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:06.719
<v Speaker 2>a regular basis. It's radio and we love giving things

829
00:48:06.760 --> 00:48:10.920
<v Speaker 2>away on radio. After twelve o'clock, which means it's lunchtime here.

830
00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Who's hungry? How about a twenty five dollars gift card

831
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to Cabo Bob's if you're still not familiar with Cabo Bob's.

832
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.599
<v Speaker 2>I love this. It's based out of Austin. There's four

833
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:26.119
<v Speaker 2>locations here in the Houston area and hope a lot

834
00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:30.159
<v Speaker 2>more coming. But it is the place where it's task casual.

835
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 2>As we say, you go in and you prepare, you

836
00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:36.960
<v Speaker 2>tell the people what you want in your massive burrito

837
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:42.199
<v Speaker 2>or tacos, or the bowls or the salads. It's just

838
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:46.079
<v Speaker 2>a really well run company. I have met the owner

839
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:48.760
<v Speaker 2>who's by the way. His name's not Bob, but it's

840
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:52.239
<v Speaker 2>just you know, they got fish tacos, they've got phenomenal brisket.

841
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:54.880
<v Speaker 2>They make the tortillas right in front of you, five

842
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:59.039
<v Speaker 2>different tortilla choices. It is good stuff. Caller number ten,

843
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.039
<v Speaker 2>let's do this. You want to do this, Calumn, I'll

844
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:02.599
<v Speaker 2>give you the number, color ten. You're gonna get a

845
00:49:02.599 --> 00:49:05.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty five dollars gift card to Cabo Bob seven one three,

846
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:10.920
<v Speaker 2>two one two five nine five. Oh do it. And

847
00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:13.199
<v Speaker 2>that's the last time I'm talking about food because I

848
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:17.119
<v Speaker 2>cannot eat until sundown tonight. So folks, good luck to you,

849
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:20.880
<v Speaker 2>as we could dig you the high tech techs in

850
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:24.760
<v Speaker 2>show told you about the nestless cyber cab or the

851
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.880
<v Speaker 2>robot taxi that Elon and Tusla unveiled. It's still a

852
00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:34.320
<v Speaker 2>few years coming, but cars and trucks are still out there.

853
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:36.239
<v Speaker 2>One of the big things that I do drive and

854
00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:40.480
<v Speaker 2>test and talk about. It's not just computers and TVs

855
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:43.119
<v Speaker 2>and cell phones and drones and cameras and all that

856
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:46.119
<v Speaker 2>other fun stuff. I am really big into cars and trucks.

857
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.519
<v Speaker 2>I am a member of the Texas Auto Writers Association,

858
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:54.079
<v Speaker 2>and which means well, it means I get to talk

859
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.400
<v Speaker 2>to the manufacturers, the engineers, the marketers. I do not

860
00:49:57.559 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 2>deal with dealerships.

861
00:49:59.079 --> 00:49:59.480
<v Speaker 5>I do not.

862
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I am not endorsed by a dealership, sadly, so every

863
00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:04.599
<v Speaker 2>time I get to review a car, I can tell

864
00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.239
<v Speaker 2>you it is crap. I can tell you it is phenomenon.

865
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:11.400
<v Speaker 2>So I feel free to ask me if you are

866
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:13.679
<v Speaker 2>in the market for a vehicle, whether it's an suv,

867
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:17.960
<v Speaker 2>a pickup truck, a sports car, an EV, hybrid, whatever

868
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:20.559
<v Speaker 2>it is, odds are I may have tested it, certainly

869
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:23.480
<v Speaker 2>if it's new and if it's come out. What's Michael

870
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:27.000
<v Speaker 2>driving this week? We need a theme? We need Callum,

871
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:29.159
<v Speaker 2>we need theme. Callum's on the phone getting a winner

872
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.760
<v Speaker 2>right now for Cabo Bob's We need a theme, want

873
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:36.239
<v Speaker 2>a theme song? What's Michael driving this work? Folks? For

874
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.880
<v Speaker 2>one week I was in a twenty twenty four land

875
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Rova Defender, nice suv, sporty suv, capable on road, off road,

876
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:57.159
<v Speaker 2>sexy head turner without a doubt, great power, three liters

877
00:50:57.239 --> 00:50:58.760
<v Speaker 2>six cylinder engine.

878
00:50:58.519 --> 00:50:59.039
<v Speaker 3>All gas.

879
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:01.960
<v Speaker 2>So it is not even it is not hybrid. It's

880
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 2>called old school three hundred and ninety five horsepower. Very rooming.

881
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Who is this for? Well, if you got a little

882
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.320
<v Speaker 2>cash or you get a good deal, it's free. It

883
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:20.199
<v Speaker 2>potentially could be for you MSRP seventy two thousand dollars

884
00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:23.039
<v Speaker 2>or so. Now mine had a lot of optional equipment,

885
00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:25.159
<v Speaker 2>so the way I test Trova was about eighty one

886
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.639
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars. This one actually had the off road pack,

887
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:34.119
<v Speaker 2>air suspension pack and a number of other things. It's

888
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.599
<v Speaker 2>it was relatively easy to climb into. It's it's jacked up.

889
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:40.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a little higher. Great tires, great big tires that

890
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:48.440
<v Speaker 2>come with it. It was what eight speed automatic from

891
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the outside you walk around. I like the design spare tire,

892
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.360
<v Speaker 2>spare tire. Yes, it does come with a full size

893
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.960
<v Speaker 2>spare tire. The spare tire is mounted on the back

894
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:04.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of jeepish if you will. I don't know. Yeah,

895
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't love that. It's a cool, rugged Look. You

896
00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:11.400
<v Speaker 2>keep this thing on a ranch and you go off

897
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:14.800
<v Speaker 2>roading a lot. Sure, who was the last time you

898
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:18.559
<v Speaker 2>ever had a flat tire? Now, people are different depending

899
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:22.119
<v Speaker 2>on where you drive. You've run over and nail and whatever. Listen,

900
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:24.440
<v Speaker 2>it's been a long time since I've had a flat tire.

901
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:30.559
<v Speaker 2>It's plus so many people have triple A service or

902
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:34.079
<v Speaker 2>whatever service that you got. I don't know if you

903
00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:36.039
<v Speaker 2>need to mount this thing there, because when you look

904
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:37.840
<v Speaker 2>in the rear view mirror in this particular vehicle, the

905
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:41.000
<v Speaker 2>land Rover Defender, you see that you see the top

906
00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:45.840
<v Speaker 2>of the tire. It obstructs your rear view view by

907
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:52.119
<v Speaker 2>a bit. And I don't like that this particular tire

908
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:54.599
<v Speaker 2>is pretty heavy drug. It also weighs it down with

909
00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:59.119
<v Speaker 2>that fifth tire. I know, listen, I told you last hour,

910
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm an Eagles scalp. Be prepared. I'm always prepared. You

911
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:06.639
<v Speaker 2>do want to spare tire though, it's kind of a

912
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:08.039
<v Speaker 2>give and take, and I know I'm going back and

913
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:09.960
<v Speaker 2>forth the whole thing, but if again, I'm giving you

914
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the ups and downs of this thing. A little obstructive

915
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:15.639
<v Speaker 2>view in the back. On the inside, very nice, it's

916
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:17.639
<v Speaker 2>a clean look. One of the things I always like

917
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:23.159
<v Speaker 2>about land Rovers. It's very clean. Nice touchscreen, horizontal touchscreen

918
00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:24.800
<v Speaker 2>probably it's what.

919
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:25.159
<v Speaker 4>Does it do?

920
00:53:25.239 --> 00:53:27.119
<v Speaker 2>You even have the stats in there? It's probably at

921
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:31.320
<v Speaker 2>anywhere between a ten inch to a twelve inch touch screen.

922
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Sound system is great, whyet ride? Tons of room in

923
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:41.800
<v Speaker 2>the two front seats, very nice leg room in the back,

924
00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:44.320
<v Speaker 2>and you get three people in the back. It's got

925
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:49.119
<v Speaker 2>a decent cargo space. And I say decent cargo space.

926
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:53.519
<v Speaker 2>It's not a long, big suv like a expedition or

927
00:53:53.559 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 2>a suburban, but it's a status car, I think and Rovers.

928
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:03.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I can define outside of the realm

929
00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:06.960
<v Speaker 2>of typical car reviews, this one's is a luxury suv

930
00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:11.199
<v Speaker 2>and it's a status status vehicle along the lines of

931
00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:15.079
<v Speaker 2>the Mercedes the BMW's. But this is particularly if you

932
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.360
<v Speaker 2>want the brand, the model number. This was the land

933
00:54:17.440 --> 00:54:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Rover Defender one ten X Dynamic s if you really

934
00:54:23.440 --> 00:54:26.039
<v Speaker 2>wanted that thing. So I dig it, I dig it.

935
00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:27.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you were in the mood for an suv, listen,

936
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I can give you a ton of other SUVs that

937
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:34.679
<v Speaker 2>you may want to tap in. Actually, next week I'm

938
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:37.559
<v Speaker 2>getting a Did you know Buick makes an suv. It's

939
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a relatively new one. Next week, I'm getting a Buick suv.

940
00:54:40.920 --> 00:54:43.039
<v Speaker 2>About two weeks ago, I just got out of I

941
00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.280
<v Speaker 2>was at the Texas Truck Rodeo up in North Texas

942
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:50.159
<v Speaker 2>and I got to drive at about thirty different hiccup

943
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.119
<v Speaker 2>trucks and some SUVs. If you want to see that,

944
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:55.519
<v Speaker 2>I posted the video a little kind of a highlight

945
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.880

953
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I have Michael, I'm thinking of this vehicle. I'm thinking,

954
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:21.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, I need a sportish one I'm having. You know,

955
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:23.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe I want a minivan. And believe it or not,

956
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I had a minivan too, about about three weeks ago.

957
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Four weeks ago had the Chrysler PACIFICA. I'll be the

958
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.159
<v Speaker 2>best minivan in the road. Don't laugh, man, I test

959
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:32.519
<v Speaker 2>them all for you. That's what I'm here for, to

960
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:33.880
<v Speaker 2>give you the good the bat. I'm not going to

961
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:35.599
<v Speaker 2>tell you tell you a dealership to go get a

962
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:37.800
<v Speaker 2>deal I'm not going to tell you a dealership to go, hey,

963
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Rinch in my name and get a discount. I do

964
00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:44.559
<v Speaker 2>not endorse a dealership. I would like to endorse a dealership,

965
00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:47.880
<v Speaker 2>and I would like our sales folks here at iHeart

966
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:51.079
<v Speaker 2>to maybe help me out with that. But I'm very

967
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:54.880
<v Speaker 2>picky because I know a lot of dealerships, and I

968
00:55:55.039 --> 00:55:57.639
<v Speaker 2>know one or two dealerships who are absolutely the top

969
00:55:57.719 --> 00:55:59.440
<v Speaker 2>notch best that I would only buy a vehicle from

970
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.880
<v Speaker 2>because they're good. So I'm very picky because I am

971
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:04.760
<v Speaker 2>your consumer guy, and I am on your saw and

972
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd fight for you. I'll also give you some good

973
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.360
<v Speaker 2>information too. Gonna change the tone a little when we

974
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:15.960
<v Speaker 2>come back from this break Attention soon to be parents.

975
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:19.599
<v Speaker 2>If you've never had a GET and you're expecting a kid,

976
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I want you to to listen to this. There is

977
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:25.719
<v Speaker 2>a non I think it's nonprofit. There's an organization here

978
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:29.280
<v Speaker 2>called Motherhood Center. I thought it harkens back to me

979
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.199
<v Speaker 2>saying where was this thirty years ago when I had

980
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:35.480
<v Speaker 2>when we had our first kid. They offered some really

981
00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:38.639
<v Speaker 2>really neat services that I want you to hear about this.

982
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:40.800
<v Speaker 2>As we continue the high tech text and show, Michael

983
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:58.360
<v Speaker 2>barbuilds the day Happy Saturday, feel back at it. Michael

984
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Scark gives this did nay if you see fifty am

985
00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:04.360
<v Speaker 2>ifverybody's having a great day. I was in a conversation

986
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:06.320
<v Speaker 2>with one of my kids the other day and I

987
00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:07.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know how we got on and about you know,

988
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:10.480
<v Speaker 2>when when he was born, you know, well over twenty

989
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:14.400
<v Speaker 2>plus years ago. You know, did did you know mom

990
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:17.239
<v Speaker 2>and I know anything about changing diapers? And you know

991
00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:21.000
<v Speaker 2>what do we watch? Because you know we had VHS?

992
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:22.480
<v Speaker 2>You know tapes in the middle of the night when

993
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.079
<v Speaker 2>he was crying, you know, to come down. Times have

994
00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:28.159
<v Speaker 2>changed now, and you know, so I get into storytelling

995
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.679
<v Speaker 2>and there are so many resources, so many more resources

996
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and things to help new you know, mothers and in

997
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:38.280
<v Speaker 2>dads and just you know, getting you know, bringing kids

998
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.199
<v Speaker 2>and assimilating into the home. Really wish this was around

999
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:43.840
<v Speaker 2>many years ago, and I, you know, we had the

1000
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:45.960
<v Speaker 2>three kids. But there is a resource right now. And

1001
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.679
<v Speaker 2>I spotlighted a little because I think this is really important.

1002
00:57:48.760 --> 00:57:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought I wanted to bring it to the forefront

1003
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:51.039
<v Speaker 2>here in Houston.

1004
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:51.880
<v Speaker 3>It is called.

1005
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Motherhood Center and the founder, her name is Gabriella Gerhardt.

1006
00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:03.440
<v Speaker 2>She just an enormous wealth of information and resources and

1007
00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to chat with her because there are so

1008
00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:07.719
<v Speaker 2>many because I get questions a lot. Hey, Michael, you know,

1009
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:10.519
<v Speaker 2>is there any you know, technological apps that can help

1010
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:12.039
<v Speaker 2>put the kid to sleep? And think, I wish I

1011
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:13.920
<v Speaker 2>knew the answer. So I'm going to go to the

1012
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:15.840
<v Speaker 2>person who may have the answers and may have some help.

1013
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Gabriella Gerhart, She joins me. For a few minutes, how

1014
00:58:18.760 --> 00:58:19.079
<v Speaker 2>are you.

1015
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:23.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing very good. Thank you, thank you, thank you

1016
00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:23.599
<v Speaker 5>for having me.

1017
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know this.

1018
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I think this is really good information, and I want

1019
00:58:27.360 --> 00:58:28.599
<v Speaker 2>to start with this. I mean, you've been in the

1020
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:33.039
<v Speaker 2>pregnancy and baby industry for I believe twenty five years

1021
00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:37.280
<v Speaker 2>or more. Tell me if you go, what changes have

1022
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:40.199
<v Speaker 2>you seen in like in the entire process of how

1023
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:40.719
<v Speaker 2>things happen?

1024
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:45.920
<v Speaker 5>Sure, well, yes, twenty five years, it is hard to believe.

1025
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.360
<v Speaker 5>And so the babies I was taking care of back

1026
00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:52.320
<v Speaker 5>then are actually clients of the Motherhood Center, which you know,

1027
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.840
<v Speaker 5>I really feel aged by that, but I'm very excited

1028
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:59.679
<v Speaker 5>that they actually kind of are going full circle. But

1029
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:03.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean changes obviously, you know, you have the techie

1030
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:07.480
<v Speaker 5>channel here, so technology evolved in a big, big way.

1031
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:08.840
<v Speaker 2>But even just to start with.

1032
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Uh, you know, back then, pregnancy definitely was not.

1033
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Trendy or it was not even kind of a thing.

1034
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.920
<v Speaker 5>And so women even back then were wearing you know,

1035
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.960
<v Speaker 5>oversized shirts and just kind of hiding, you know, in

1036
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:26.239
<v Speaker 5>a way that pregnancy, or they were not encouraged to exercise.

1037
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:29.960
<v Speaker 5>And of course, now you know, fast forward two decades later,

1038
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:34.639
<v Speaker 5>very much pregnancy is kind of on a forefront, you know,

1039
00:59:34.760 --> 00:59:37.840
<v Speaker 5>even in politics, right, you know, just kind of everywhere

1040
00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:41.480
<v Speaker 5>you talk about pregnancy in the boardroom and pregnancy and

1041
00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:46.280
<v Speaker 5>not only pregnancy, but uh, you know Dad's paternity leaf

1042
00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:49.719
<v Speaker 5>and uh and matunity leave and all of that. And

1043
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:53.199
<v Speaker 5>so with with that, the technology evolved in in a

1044
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:54.239
<v Speaker 5>great way as well.

1045
00:59:55.559 --> 00:59:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know you talk about the clothing, yes, And

1046
00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:00.719
<v Speaker 2>again for background, I know a lot of my audience

1047
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:04.440
<v Speaker 2>knows this, but I have three sons thirty years old,

1048
01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.119
<v Speaker 2>and then at twenty seven, and then at twenty four,

1049
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:09.039
<v Speaker 2>So I mean we go way back then, and I

1050
01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:11.119
<v Speaker 2>want to know where all these apps were back, you know,

1051
01:00:11.239 --> 01:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>because I was the one, you know, back to both

1052
01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>of us. But I remember when the oldest, my first

1053
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>son was born thirty years ago. The first day he

1054
01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>was born, I changed one of his diapers. And I

1055
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>guarantee you that first diaper I changed was absolutely more

1056
01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:31.119
<v Speaker 2>than my father had changed diapers. Because it's a different generation.

1057
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I want to talk about over here.

1058
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>What's the difference between today's new parents and let's say

1059
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:40.480
<v Speaker 2>parents from two decades ago or three decades ago when

1060
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:42.480
<v Speaker 2>my son was born, and even let's go back five

1061
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:44.599
<v Speaker 2>or six decades ago, when you know, my parents were

1062
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:46.519
<v Speaker 2>for the first had a kid.

1063
01:00:47.639 --> 01:00:50.960
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I mean even just to start with, you know,

1064
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:54.440
<v Speaker 5>pretty much all of our educational classes are attended.

1065
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>By the couple.

1066
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:58.320
<v Speaker 5>You know, I mean, dads are coming to our breastfeeding classes.

1067
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, the dads are the ones who make the

1068
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:04.719
<v Speaker 5>appointments for massages, and so they are definitely very involved

1069
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:07.199
<v Speaker 5>in the care and they wanted to be part of it,

1070
01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:10.599
<v Speaker 5>just like you said, you know, changing diaper, that's you know,

1071
01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:12.880
<v Speaker 5>in today's world is like, of course the dads are

1072
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.880
<v Speaker 5>changing diaper, you know, and and much more and so

1073
01:01:16.519 --> 01:01:18.679
<v Speaker 5>so definitely, you know, we are very excited. We have

1074
01:01:18.800 --> 01:01:21.800
<v Speaker 5>even like New Dads meet Up, which is which is

1075
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:24.960
<v Speaker 5>a great group and dads can kind of talk about things,

1076
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:26.599
<v Speaker 5>you know, they have a beer and you know, and

1077
01:01:26.760 --> 01:01:30.400
<v Speaker 5>have a conversation at the Motherhood Center about you know,

1078
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:34.800
<v Speaker 5>how they are kind of transitioning, you know, becoming or

1079
01:01:34.880 --> 01:01:37.360
<v Speaker 5>being a dad. And you know, back then, dads were

1080
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.960
<v Speaker 5>not even allowed to be in the delivery room, right right,

1081
01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:41.559
<v Speaker 5>My dad was not.

1082
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I was there, I mean was videotatd but I was

1083
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't not as much as part as that I

1084
01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:47.079
<v Speaker 2>could be.

1085
01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:50.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and so yeah, now if you would be like

1086
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:52.119
<v Speaker 5>if dad's like I think I will take a pass,

1087
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:54.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, not going to the deliveries, Like, are you

1088
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:56.519
<v Speaker 5>kidding me? You know, of course you will be there,

1089
01:01:57.320 --> 01:02:00.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, so so yeah, definitely kind of the overall

1090
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:05.239
<v Speaker 5>mentality and kind of the engagement even grandparents. I mean

1091
01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:08.280
<v Speaker 5>they have grandparents with pressure classes, you know, and grandparents.

1092
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:11.400
<v Speaker 5>Of course we are not teaching them how to change

1093
01:02:11.480 --> 01:02:14.760
<v Speaker 5>the diaper, but it's really kind of the safety measures

1094
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:17.760
<v Speaker 5>and even just talking to them about the today's gadgets

1095
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:20.119
<v Speaker 5>and you know, what's what's out there so they can

1096
01:02:20.239 --> 01:02:23.679
<v Speaker 5>be really more kind of a part of that, the

1097
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:27.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, new babies life and feeling much more kind

1098
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:31.039
<v Speaker 5>of comfortable and confident in the in the care and

1099
01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:32.880
<v Speaker 5>just really being more kind of the part of the

1100
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:35.559
<v Speaker 5>conversation because things have changed so much.

1101
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Different when I become a grandparent. I'm my diaper changing

1102
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>days are over. Those three boys. I've got enough of

1103
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. Chatting with Gabrielle Deerhart. She is the founder

1104
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>of Motherhood Center. We'll make sure they give all the

1105
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>information here in the Houston area for anybody who wants that.

1106
01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:54.840
<v Speaker 2>You about gadgets, Hey, do you have some favorites maybe

1107
01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:57.599
<v Speaker 2>some interesting products that are really worth mentioning to help

1108
01:02:58.239 --> 01:02:59.119
<v Speaker 2>parents with newborns.

1109
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I mean, there's everything. And it's funny because a

1110
01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:05.559
<v Speaker 5>lot of gadgets are a lot of times kind of

1111
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:09.320
<v Speaker 5>invented by parents because they might be kind of frustrated

1112
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:11.960
<v Speaker 5>as like, oh, why there is not something like this,

1113
01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:14.440
<v Speaker 5>and all of a sudden, you know, they're like, oh, well,

1114
01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:16.519
<v Speaker 5>let me create that. And so one of the gadgets

1115
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:19.599
<v Speaker 5>which we actually kind of like is the baby shusher.

1116
01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:22.760
<v Speaker 5>And so of course you probably remember, you know, you

1117
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:26.199
<v Speaker 5>would be doing shushing noise, you know, all night long,

1118
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:28.440
<v Speaker 5>and so now there's a gadget you can just turn

1119
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:31.360
<v Speaker 5>it on. You can have you know, different intensities, and

1120
01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:34.360
<v Speaker 5>so you can just put that in the crib or

1121
01:03:34.440 --> 01:03:36.280
<v Speaker 5>in the car seat, or you know, if you are

1122
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:38.199
<v Speaker 5>in the restaurant, you just kind of turn that on.

1123
01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:43.519
<v Speaker 5>And so babies are kind of accustomed to the white noise,

1124
01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:45.679
<v Speaker 5>kind of the shushing noise in the womb, so it's

1125
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.159
<v Speaker 5>kind of recreating the womb for that. Another one which

1126
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.639
<v Speaker 5>we do like here at the Motherhood Center is the rocker.

1127
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:56.719
<v Speaker 5>So it's basically kind of babies like the rocking motion,

1128
01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:00.480
<v Speaker 5>and so you can just basically hooked that up to

1129
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:04.159
<v Speaker 5>to the stroller and uh and so it has kind

1130
01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:07.800
<v Speaker 5>of like a rocking motion, uh vibrating motion uh to

1131
01:04:07.920 --> 01:04:10.360
<v Speaker 5>the to the rockers, so maybe kind of kind of

1132
01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:14.320
<v Speaker 5>easier full asleep and after that they are a little

1133
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:16.280
<v Speaker 5>bit more kind of like the intimate uh you know,

1134
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:19.960
<v Speaker 5>the wearable uh breast breast pumps uh you know, which

1135
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:22.400
<v Speaker 5>you can uh just kind of walk around the house

1136
01:04:22.519 --> 01:04:25.079
<v Speaker 5>or go shopping and uh and pumping at the same

1137
01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:29.719
<v Speaker 5>time and uh it measures everything. So so sometimes you

1138
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:32.480
<v Speaker 5>don't even know that the woman is pumping standing next

1139
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:32.719
<v Speaker 5>to you.

1140
01:04:33.719 --> 01:04:36.840
<v Speaker 3>So uh and of course, you know you talk about rocking,

1141
01:04:37.320 --> 01:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I'll go old school, you know, I used to we

1142
01:04:39.079 --> 01:04:41.159
<v Speaker 3>used to put the kids uh in uh in the

1143
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>car seat and we would put them on top of

1144
01:04:42.920 --> 01:04:45.039
<v Speaker 3>the washer dryer and we turn it on and that

1145
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:47.079
<v Speaker 3>that's rock I mean that is old school.

1146
01:04:47.239 --> 01:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>So you know, times certainly have changed.

1147
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, And of course you know all kinds of

1148
01:04:52.360 --> 01:04:55.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, pregnancy wearables where you can have the you know,

1149
01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:59.239
<v Speaker 5>contractions tracking and fetal monitoring and all of that, which

1150
01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:01.679
<v Speaker 5>you know, first some parents can create a lot of

1151
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:04.960
<v Speaker 5>great comfort and uh and just kind of knowing you know,

1152
01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:08.280
<v Speaker 5>what's what's what's happening, and of course smart crips, and

1153
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.679
<v Speaker 5>I mean there's just uh yeah, just thousands and thousands

1154
01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.760
<v Speaker 5>of gadgets now and and apps. You know, we are

1155
01:05:14.880 --> 01:05:17.400
<v Speaker 5>just all so very very, so very connected.

1156
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Now, Okay, I mean it's enticing potentially for me to

1157
01:05:21.079 --> 01:05:22.599
<v Speaker 2>have another baby, but let me help you out, that

1158
01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>ain't happening now. But it's it's really nice this new

1159
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>generation of of of mom's dads or potential you know,

1160
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.239
<v Speaker 2>soon to be moms and dads of having these opportunities.

1161
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Stand on the technology in the gadget line, there's a

1162
01:05:36.079 --> 01:05:39.119
<v Speaker 2>fine line, I would think. I mean, look, let's let's

1163
01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>think about this. The tech and the gadget. You've got

1164
01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:44.239
<v Speaker 2>the shushing machine and all these other things. Does it

1165
01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:49.280
<v Speaker 2>affect parenting? Does it you know, does it bring the

1166
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:53.280
<v Speaker 2>parent and the child further apart because you know, you

1167
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>have this technology in between versus me as a dad

1168
01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.719
<v Speaker 2>changing the diapers, swaddling the kids in saying obviously that

1169
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>was very one on one. What's healthy? Balance?

1170
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:08.159
<v Speaker 5>Sure? I mean balance is the key word, you know,

1171
01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 5>I think in general, just in you know, even any

1172
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.239
<v Speaker 5>kind of technology, you know, I mean, there is definitely

1173
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:16.920
<v Speaker 5>great benefits and something which can kind of help us,

1174
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:20.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, even just like you can activate ap app

1175
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:24.320
<v Speaker 5>or you know, device by by voice while you're holding

1176
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:26.519
<v Speaker 5>your baby, so you don't have to put your baby down,

1177
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:29.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, and you can activate that. But I think

1178
01:06:29.320 --> 01:06:32.840
<v Speaker 5>just kind of the face to face interaction is critical,

1179
01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:36.800
<v Speaker 5>the physical touch is critical. And I'm always feeling kind

1180
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:40.079
<v Speaker 5>of like the the quality of the time over quantity.

1181
01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.199
<v Speaker 5>And you know, obviously we are all busy and and

1182
01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:47.119
<v Speaker 5>new parents are very busy, but it is it, you know,

1183
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:52.400
<v Speaker 5>it can be extremely overwhelming and and kind of the

1184
01:06:52.519 --> 01:06:55.079
<v Speaker 5>complete reliance on technology.

1185
01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Is just not right.

1186
01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:58.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean you could see that even just during the

1187
01:06:58.280 --> 01:07:02.639
<v Speaker 5>pandemic times, you know, and viewer ways wearing face masks, masks.

1188
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:07.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean there's a developmental delays and in children just

1189
01:07:07.800 --> 01:07:10.519
<v Speaker 5>because they were not able to have the interaction with

1190
01:07:10.719 --> 01:07:14.239
<v Speaker 5>other human beings, you know, besides maybe their parents, or

1191
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:18.840
<v Speaker 5>even just not seeing parents articulating or you know, use

1192
01:07:19.239 --> 01:07:22.440
<v Speaker 5>looking at their their their mouth and and so all

1193
01:07:22.519 --> 01:07:26.039
<v Speaker 5>of that is is putting us behind. So definitely, you know,

1194
01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:29.599
<v Speaker 5>I feel like technology obviously a lot of great benefits,

1195
01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:33.079
<v Speaker 5>but not having the the reliance on the technology, and

1196
01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:36.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm big on trusting your instinct, right, and

1197
01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:41.480
<v Speaker 5>so if you lose that, uh, you know, that's that

1198
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:44.719
<v Speaker 5>would be very sad for for humanity. So, you know,

1199
01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:48.239
<v Speaker 5>with the gadgets, like I said, I think it's kind

1200
01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:51.880
<v Speaker 5>of the like you said that the balance is critical,

1201
01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:55.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, utilizing it, but uh, but not letting that

1202
01:07:55.159 --> 01:07:58.119
<v Speaker 5>to kind of run your life or or just really

1203
01:07:59.159 --> 01:08:02.960
<v Speaker 5>if you know, if if you feel like there's something wrong,

1204
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.199
<v Speaker 5>you know, don't be looking at the app is like, oh,

1205
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:08.639
<v Speaker 5>the app is telling me everything is fine, but you

1206
01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:12.000
<v Speaker 5>are feeling something is wrong. Will act on on the instinct.

1207
01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:15.639
<v Speaker 5>And so you know, I think it's critical to kind

1208
01:08:15.639 --> 01:08:20.039
<v Speaker 5>of keep it nurturing that instinct and and if you

1209
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:23.039
<v Speaker 5>are just surrounded or reliant on on.

1210
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:28.840
<v Speaker 2>The gadgets, those things instincts will go away. I think

1211
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.720
<v Speaker 2>you said, listen, well, we've we were able to to

1212
01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>birth and raise you know, three kids without apps and gadgets,

1213
01:08:35.760 --> 01:08:38.319
<v Speaker 2>and before that, it's it's been thousands of thousands of

1214
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:40.560
<v Speaker 2>years since man I have been around. Well, we were

1215
01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>able to go through it. But uh, there's nothing wrong

1216
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:44.680
<v Speaker 2>with a little assistance, well just a little assistance for

1217
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>this technology as as as she suggested, it's called the

1218
01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Motherhood Center. Should anybody want more information, especially you know,

1219
01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:54.239
<v Speaker 2>new mothers. I know you've got baby doula services and

1220
01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:57.199
<v Speaker 2>nannies services, like how can they get in contact with you?

1221
01:08:58.520 --> 01:09:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Sure, severe are active on of course all the social

1222
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:04.479
<v Speaker 5>media from Instagram and Facebook and LinkedIn, and of course

1223
01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:08.199
<v Speaker 5>our website Motherhoodcenter dot com. And we are just as

1224
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:10.399
<v Speaker 5>I tell clients, we are just a phone call away,

1225
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:13.039
<v Speaker 5>and so our phone number is seven to one three

1226
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:15.119
<v Speaker 5>nine six three eight eight eight zero.

1227
01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Borhood center dot com a resource that I wish was

1228
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:20.800
<v Speaker 2>around thirty years ago. But then again I wish the

1229
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:23.439
<v Speaker 2>World Wide Web was around three years ago. So much more.

1230
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:26.479
<v Speaker 2>Gobriella Gerhart, Founder, thank you very much for your time,

1231
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate the new parenting information.

1232
01:09:30.159 --> 01:09:31.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, thank you for having me.

1233
01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:34.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're gonna take a break. Actually I do

1234
01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 2>have some interesting apps. I want to talk about four kids.

1235
01:09:37.039 --> 01:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I still get so many questions. People want to know,

1236
01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:41.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's the right age to give their kid

1237
01:09:41.520 --> 01:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>their first cell phone? Or how many hours should they

1238
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>spend in front of the TV or their computer. Some

1239
01:09:46.920 --> 01:09:48.560
<v Speaker 2>of the things that we look at the discuss right

1240
01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>here on I take taxi shows. Michael Garten don't go anywhere.

1241
01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Final eight or nine minutes of the show. I thank

1242
01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you for tuning in. We do have a winner of

1243
01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:15.239
<v Speaker 2>the Cobbled Bob's gift card. We give that away once

1244
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>a week. Congratulations to the winner. I told you I'm

1245
01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>not talking about food because i am not eating until sundown,

1246
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>because I'm such a center. I'm a toning for all

1247
01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>my sins this past year. Happy, young Kipper, should you

1248
01:10:27.880 --> 01:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>be some it's the Young Kipper. You probably shouldn't be

1249
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:31.479
<v Speaker 2>listening to the show. You probably shouldn't be watching the

1250
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Texas OHU game coming up at about an hour and

1251
01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a half right now. But however, you celebrate and reflect

1252
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>on this past year. I wish you an easy fast

1253
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and if you have no clue what I'm talking about,

1254
01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:46.159
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, okay. Everybody each to its own. Thank you

1255
01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:49.359
<v Speaker 2>very much to the Motherhood Center. If you like that interview,

1256
01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:53.119
<v Speaker 2>I say to you, know, technology infiltrates so many different

1257
01:10:53.159 --> 01:10:57.399
<v Speaker 2>industries and processes that we do. I think the highest

1258
01:10:57.479 --> 01:11:04.520
<v Speaker 2>tech items that we had thirty years ago when our

1259
01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>oldest son was born was a VHS and we had

1260
01:11:09.119 --> 01:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Barney on VHS, and so when he would wake up

1261
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:15.319
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the night, I would get up

1262
01:11:15.359 --> 01:11:17.359
<v Speaker 2>and at three in the morning to comfort him. I

1263
01:11:17.359 --> 01:11:20.479
<v Speaker 2>would sit there and hold them on my lap trying

1264
01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to get him to go back to sleep while I

1265
01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:25.640
<v Speaker 2>popped in the Barney video cassette. And that was the

1266
01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>only thing that to seem to get him to sleep

1267
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:30.119
<v Speaker 2>or calm down. It sure as heck put me to sleep.

1268
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And the last thing I ever remember going to sleep

1269
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:38.159
<v Speaker 2>was I love you, you love me. Blah blah blah blah.

1270
01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Freaking purple dinosaur. Nowadays, man, there's it's not let me help.

1271
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't get me wrong. I ain't have no more kids.

1272
01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't want no more kids. Love. I hope for

1273
01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:53.520
<v Speaker 2>grandkids out but that's it. What a time we live in.

1274
01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>And then the Motherhood Center does a lot of good.

1275
01:11:57.439 --> 01:11:59.039
<v Speaker 2>If you need help with our assistance with that, you

1276
01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:01.159
<v Speaker 2>can check them out. I'm not gonna give out the

1277
01:12:01.159 --> 01:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>phone number anymore because we just have a few more minutes.

1278
01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of phone numbers, last hour, I talked a bit,

1279
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:11.119
<v Speaker 2>talked to segment or two about hurricanes. Hurricane Milton, Hurricane

1280
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Helene just pounded the least coast. Still praying for Kampa.

1281
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Just a heel and rebuild itself. They just got devastated.

1282
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:23.239
<v Speaker 2>And I know here in the Houston Galveston area we

1283
01:12:24.079 --> 01:12:27.880
<v Speaker 2>constantly live from you know, at May through November with

1284
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:33.760
<v Speaker 2>hurricane season, and we just you got to be prepared.

1285
01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:37.039
<v Speaker 2>And I get questions all the time, but what technology

1286
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:39.359
<v Speaker 2>do you have for us to keep in communication? Should

1287
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:44.159
<v Speaker 2>phone lines go down? And there's all let's go back

1288
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty years, let's go back several years ago. Who question?

1289
01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:49.640
<v Speaker 2>This is rhetorical because I don't want you to call me,

1290
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:52.560
<v Speaker 2>but you could if you have a landline Who still

1291
01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:58.760
<v Speaker 2>owns a landline telephone? Heart be of that question? Who

1292
01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>knows what a landline telephone is? Okay? I know the

1293
01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>demographics of my listeners. We do have some relatively young ones.

1294
01:13:07.279 --> 01:13:10.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, baby boomers, you know what I'm talking about.

1295
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Gen X, you know what I'm talking about. Millennials may

1296
01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:18.119
<v Speaker 2>know what a landline phone is. After that over done

1297
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:24.199
<v Speaker 2>the gin alphas, no clue. Landline phone. It's attached to

1298
01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:29.239
<v Speaker 2>the wall and you pick it up and you don't

1299
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't go over cell service. It's it's very interesting.

1300
01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:33.119
<v Speaker 2>See the kids.

1301
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:33.720
<v Speaker 5>There's used to be.

1302
01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Things called phone boosts and rotary down phones, but just

1303
01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't have time to go over that, but

1304
01:13:40.119 --> 01:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the notion that many older Americans like landlines, it's no

1305
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>surprise to anyone. And I saw stat the other day

1306
01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>that landlines are still out there and landlines are still

1307
01:13:52.760 --> 01:13:56.399
<v Speaker 2>very useful. California actually was in the news because I

1308
01:13:56.439 --> 01:13:59.640
<v Speaker 2>think the governor of California knew him. He was trying

1309
01:13:59.720 --> 01:14:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to tell what was he was Tree was trying to

1310
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:06.399
<v Speaker 2>get something past that just just killed all the landlines

1311
01:14:06.720 --> 01:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>just over. I think it's at and T. They they

1312
01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:13.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of control a lot of that because there's you see, kids,

1313
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:15.760
<v Speaker 2>when homes were built back of these there's these copper

1314
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:19.039
<v Speaker 2>lines that that actually go in through the walls of

1315
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>your home. That did they carry the signals that Alexander

1316
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Graham Bell invented. Again, don't have time for any of

1317
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, but it was the two thousands consumers were

1318
01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:30.279
<v Speaker 2>canceling their home telephone service left and left and left

1319
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>and right, quick stat and we'll leave it at this.

1320
01:14:34.279 --> 01:14:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Three quarters of Americans live in homes without landlines right now.

1321
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Seventy six percent of adults by the end of last

1322
01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:47.319
<v Speaker 2>year did not have a landline. Go back twenty years ago,

1323
01:14:48.199 --> 01:14:52.319
<v Speaker 2>only five percent of Americans did not have a landline.

1324
01:14:52.560 --> 01:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Only five percent twenty years ago relied entirely on cell phones.

1325
01:14:58.199 --> 01:15:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Right now, seventy six percent of people rely solely on cellophones.

1326
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Thing as though in an emergency, these things pretty much

1327
01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>could be life savers because if self powers go down,

1328
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.239
<v Speaker 2>you're screwed. It's very tough to get out.

1329
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:16.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

1330
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I know there's satellite service. Apples and iPhones got a

1331
01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:22.000
<v Speaker 2>satellite service. Elon's coming out with with satellite service, But

1332
01:15:22.039 --> 01:15:25.279
<v Speaker 2>as of right now, I do recommend it's not that

1333
01:15:25.439 --> 01:15:28.119
<v Speaker 2>expensive and maybe what ten bucks a month from your

1334
01:15:28.199 --> 01:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>local AT and T or you're your local provider to

1335
01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:37.239
<v Speaker 2>get a landline. But the wired and the wireless it's

1336
01:15:37.319 --> 01:15:40.720
<v Speaker 2>like a it's like a soap opera. Do you want?

1337
01:15:40.800 --> 01:15:44.159
<v Speaker 2>We do not. I would recommend anybody living near the coast.

1338
01:15:44.199 --> 01:15:45.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening to me right now, and you live

1339
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:47.840
<v Speaker 2>along the Gulf coast and you're prone to flooding and

1340
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you're prone to power being down, maybe you're a little

1341
01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>bit older, giddy freaking land line. The stories I heard

1342
01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:59.159
<v Speaker 2>two weeks ago when Helene houred through was it North

1343
01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Carolina ash or something? People were on Facebook going my

1344
01:16:02.399 --> 01:16:05.079
<v Speaker 2>parents live in Ashfield, North Carolina. The cell towers of

1345
01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>down and there's no way for me to get to

1346
01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:07.479
<v Speaker 2>contact them.

1347
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:07.920
<v Speaker 4>What do we do?

1348
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Odds are if they had a landline, they probably were

1349
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:18.640
<v Speaker 2>able to get in touch. Now again, what I recommend is,

1350
01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:21.800
<v Speaker 2>if you do have a landline, don't get a cordless

1351
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:25.319
<v Speaker 2>phone that you need electricity to plug into the wall. Also,

1352
01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>because if you've got an electricity, does you know good?

1353
01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I tell you to go to a radio shack and

1354
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:33.079
<v Speaker 2>buy a corded phone, but there are no radio shacks.

1355
01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Go to Amazon, go pay ten bucks fifteen dollars for

1356
01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:40.239
<v Speaker 2>a corded telephone that you plug into the wall, but

1357
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:45.239
<v Speaker 2>that does not need electricity, does not need electricity. There's

1358
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:47.000
<v Speaker 2>old school and there's new school. There you go. If

1359
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you go back and listen to the show, I think

1360
01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I gave you some pretty good tips. And that's what

1361
01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I do, Like am oil, I give you tips. People,

1362
01:16:53.439 --> 01:16:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I give you tips Other than that, I think we

1363
01:16:55.600 --> 01:16:56.880
<v Speaker 2>got to get out of here, don't We tell them

1364
01:16:57.000 --> 01:16:59.199
<v Speaker 2>we got to make way for whatever is next. And

1365
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:02.640
<v Speaker 2>if you do happen to be a long worn fan,

1366
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>sorry sooner because I think it could be a long

1367
01:17:05.039 --> 01:17:08.479
