27
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>and out of Louisiana, and if you're listening on iHeart Radio,

28
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>well it's a it's a hot new way to do it,

29
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and that did not exist what I started this program

30
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty two plus years ago. No, it was just over

31
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the year radio. But now you can take us everywhere

32
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you go download the I Heart Radio app. Of course

33
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>it'll be podcasted after and some of the things that

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 1>we do talk about. It's called the High Tech Texan

35
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Show Number one. I am based in Texas without a doubt.

36
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud to be a Texan, which is why I

37
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>named in trademark my moniker that way. I started twenty

38
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>plus years ago talking a lot about specifically and only technology,

39
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's lackable. One of the things that we're going

40
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to talk about today is how there's a lot of

41
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>retro technology that is coming back today. It is not

42
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 1>just you know, vinyl records or record players. That's a

43
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of other things, including gaming, but now it is

44
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 1>much more of the technology. And so for those of

45
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you before clicking the radio off, going oh man, the

46
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 1>guy's going to talk above my head and he's going

47
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to help me fix my computer. I've actually never done

48
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>that in the twenty plus years because I tell you

49
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 1>what new computers to buy or what laptops to buy,

50
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 1>but also I talk about cars and trucks and travel

51
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 1>and fashion and interesting news in the world of pop culture.

52
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just again, I'm never shoving longtime listeners. No, I

53
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 1>don't shove any politics down your face. I am a

54
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 1>fan of the Dallas cout Boys in Texas Longhorns, and

55
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>so you're going to get a little little of that.

56
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 1>But after last week, I'm actually not going to talk

57
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot about the Longhorns. We will see what happens

58
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>this weekend in Nashville at Vanderbilt. So yes, so I

59
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 1>do talk a lot about sports too. So it's a

60
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>potpourri just like a Jeopardy category that we're here for you.

61
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>That is our good man, Callum Reid. He is on

62
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the glass, Gallum Good. Callum and

63
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I we hung out together for a bit earlier this

64
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>week at a gun range. We had a radio client

65
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>defend at Texas Gun Club in Stafford, Texas, on the

66
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>southwest side of Houston. Good seeing him a man and

67
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>did you shoot or not? Callum? You were kind of

68
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 1>just hanging around the greenoes lunch spread that they had.

69
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see you in the shooting range, man, but

70
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 1>I brought a few of my guns. I belong to,

71
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>actually do belong to Texas Gun Club, and I should

72
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>go there more often. I belong to a country this

73
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 1>country club. So I golf not a lot when it's hot.

74
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is golfing season two, and about ten minutes

75
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>away is the gun club too. I should go there

76
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 1>more often because it's fun shooting, fun shooting. I've got

77
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>a whole array of and this is what we do

78
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. People. We have guns. A lot of peoples

79
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>have guns, and we're very responsible though at least I

80
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 1>know I am. So I whipped out my several nine millimeters.

81
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I had a forty. I didn't shoot my forty five.

82
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I have a beautiful forty five, and I don't know.

83
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see the AMMO for that. But I have,

84
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you know my everyday carry piece. Is that what we

85
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>call it? So back away people, back away. I have

86
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the six hour P three sixty. That's a great model.

87
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I have a Smith and Wesson, even about my little

88
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty two just to play around with Pink Peeter and

89
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>pew pew, and did not bring any of my other

90
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>shotguns or ars. But that's okay. But anyway, it's good scene.

91
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 1>It caw many time you want to go back to

92
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the gun club, Texas gun Club. I am your guy,

93
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and uh, but that was nice seeing you. But so no,

94
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Callum is my The point of this is this is

95
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Callum keeps us on the air, keeps us running. Uh,

96
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 1>you bleep out any of the bad words that I say,

97
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 1>you could bleep them out, you have to bleep them

98
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>out over the ear. J Are we allowed to keep

99
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>them in on the podcast, Callum. So that's that's going

100
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to cause more pain for you because you're gonna have

101
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 1>to edit. And you know, as I'm John, I'm I'm

102
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the nice guy on air. I'm just going I just

103
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>want to make things easy for everybody I work with,

104
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 1>and so I'll try to refrain from many of the

105
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>four letter for bombs over here. But feel free to

106
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>open up a call and we have a dump button

107
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>waiting for you. All right down to business people. I

108
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>actually I'm going to talk a little about technology, about

109
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>a technology I don't talk about a lot because I'm

110
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>not an Apple guy. Really, I'm an Android, dude, Apple iOS.

111
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Has anybody downloaded the up updated Apple operating system, the

112
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Apple I for their iPhones. I told you last week

113
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 1>what to do to prepare your iPhone for the iOS eighteen.

114
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I also said last week that something tells me eighteen

115
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>point one, the upgraded version is coming, because that's how

116
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>software is released. They release it, people find a bug,

117
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work, and so within a matter of days,

118
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>not hours, the second version comes and that's where they

119
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 1>put the point or the dot eighteen dot one. Well,

120
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 1>guess what, not only within one week as I predicted,

121
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Apple iOS eighteen point one is already out. They just

122
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>did out. Apple just announced eighteen point two is coming

123
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>out soon for developers to play with. And so it's

124
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a cat and mouse a game. But I do

125
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>recommend in most cases if you have a little trupidation

126
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 1>about downloading it because you don't want to do software download.

127
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>You're used to what you're using. At some point, if

128
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't upgrade your software or your firmware or any

129
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 1>product that you have, your product is going to become obsolete.

130
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>The companies no longer support it whatsoever. So I just

131
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I just download them and cross my fingers and suck

132
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 1>it up. You do want to make sure you back

133
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>up everything on your phone, put it to the iCloud,

134
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>or connect it to your computer, no matter what you're

135
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>upgrading to try to do that. But if anybody has

136
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>updated or used the iOS eighteen or eighteen point one,

137
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>let me know. We're some of the new features Apple Intelligence,

138
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 1>their version of AI, and I just want to let

139
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>you know that that is out here too. Other things

140
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>when we come back. Talked last week. Also, you know

141
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 1>what this show is going to turn into. Hey, remember

142
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>we talked about this seven days ago, and life changes

143
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>so fast. There's already something change. I told you last

144
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>week how the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, is trying

145
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>to put into law to make it easier to unsubscribe

146
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>from things in newsletters, cables, subscriptions, streaming services. Because it's

147
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 1>easy to have one click and to subscribe services. But

148
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it's like jumping through hoops and walking through the middle

149
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Earth to unsubscribe some things. The FTC wants to make

150
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 1>it easier. Well, that was the news last week, the

151

152
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.079

162
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.759
<v Speaker 1>some ideas of where to shop. Maybe we give some

<v Speaker 1>By the way, speaking giving things away, I'll put you

165
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>something right now. Let's just jump into it, man. That's

166
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>what radio is about. Promotions. Total wireless if you're familiar

167
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>with that, mini stores here and around the Houston area,

168
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>across the state of Texas, across the country. Here in

169
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>h Town to Houston area. If you're listening, there's a

170
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 1>company called Victra Victrra. They own i think ten twelve

171
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:29.159
<v Speaker 1>thirteen total wireless stores. They offer everything from phones really

179

<v Speaker 1>Internet through the router and then it just it sends

180
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 1>it out over Wi Fi throughout your home or your office.

181

197
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.759
<v Speaker 1>tell you when that is. So, if you listened last week,

198
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about this new Federal Trade Commission, they

199
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>are trying to start what's called a new rule click

200
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 1>to cancel, that requires companies to make it very simple,

201
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>very easy to cancel subscriptions anything from newsletters to cable

202
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 1>to it gets out of your water to your Colligan belt,

203
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>which is causing me headaches and pains when cull again,

204
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at you what anyway? I like it because

205
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, it's so simple to sign

206
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>up for anything. One click, you're done, Amazon, one purchase,

207
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>put it there, you go. None but to cancel. You

208
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>try to cancel your cable bill, cancel something, it's your

209
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>gym membership. Oh ye ei, sit down and prepare to

210
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It will waste five hours, if not more,

211
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>of your time. It's a pain. Well, last week or so,

212
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 1>FDC says, Okay, we're gonna make it easy. We just

213
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>need to just get through this. We're gonna run it

214
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>out there. Well guess what. Three three industry groups, The

215
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Electronic Security Association, the Interactive Advertising Bureau and the NCTA.

216
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Being asked what that is, they're already suing. They're suing

217
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the Federal Trade Commission from a forcing it's clicked to

218
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>cancel rule. And yes, the groups opposing it represent exactly

219
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the names you'd expect, because the member companies who profit

220
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>from subscriptions that are very simple to start yet hard

221
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 1>to stop. They're part of this stuff. The NCTA, it's

222
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the Internet and Television Association. They represent service providers like Comcast,

223
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Charter Cos. They represent Disney, AMC, Paramount, Warner Brothers, YIP

224
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred members. They include almost any company connected to advertising, Google, Netflix, Amazon,

225
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 1>metaut goes on and on and on. They said, no, no,

226
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 1>we're going to sue. Well, of course they want to sue.

227
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>They want to make it hard for you to cancel.

228
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Looking forth over here, the group's lawyers argued that the

229
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>FTC is trying to quote regulate consumer contracts for all

230
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>companies in all industries and across all sectors of the

231
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>economy unquote, by attempting to forbid business from making customers

232
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>handsle services using a method that differs from how they

233
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>signed up. Okay, here's my opinion. Who cares what method

234
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 1>you use to sign up and cancel. If I go

235
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 1>buy a car, I'm gonna use one method. But if

236
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to sell a car, I can use many

237
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 1>different methods. I mean, come on, man, let me know

238
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 1>many subscriptions and this is it, each and every one

239
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>of you listening right now. How many subscriptions do you have?

240
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't even know because I don't even know. I

241
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>can't put a number online subscription, email, newsletters, text, credit cards,

242
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>you've got your home services, you've got how many let's

243
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>go to streamings that didn't exist twenty years ago when

244
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I started this radio radio show. How many streaming services

245
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 1>do you have that you don't net? Oh wait, even

246
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought I canceled that now, honey, I thought you

247
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 1>cancel it. No, I did not do that. It should

248
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 1>be as simple to click undo. But it's not. Man,

249
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>they want you, They want to keep you. They want

250
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to make it sticky. And so now there's a lawsuit

251
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 1>about this. Oh my, here's what you probably should do.

252
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And I know it's a pain, but there's software programs

253
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>like this. Listen if you have it, if you're really

254
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>good with Microsoft Excel or a Google Sheets, or forms,

255
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>what day side a list, every single thing that you

256
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 1>have a subscription for. Now, this is even different than

257
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>your bank accounts and your yeah yeah, your insurance information,

258
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.480
<v Speaker 1>which obviously you should have, your family should have to

259
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 1>just the stuff. You'd be surprised how much money you're

260
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 1>just pissing away each month. Go try to cancel one

261
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>or two of these things, and next week you're gonna

262
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 1>call me. You're gonna say, garf man, man, you are right.

263
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 1>It is just I try to cancel my gym membership.

264
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 1>I forgot this. I even pay, I pay ten dollars

265
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>a month. Whatever it is. I had to physically write

266
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>a letter and snail mail that, which I am not kidding.

267
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I still think there are some gym memberships and maybe

268
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 1>some others that that's how you have to cancel. And

269
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, who wants to sit down,

270
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 1>HiPE out a letter, write a letter? Wait a minute,

271
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>who even has a stamp to mail it? Who's to

272
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 1>say that the recipient the gym membership or whatever he

273
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.679
<v Speaker 1>is even going to receive the thing. That's what makes

274
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 1>it difficult, and it is it's it's time that something changes,

275
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>because light itself, as we know, it is already too

276
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.080
<v Speaker 1>convoluted and just it's it's screwed up. Can we make

277
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>things easier? Can we make things these are out or no?

278
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.919
<v Speaker 1>So do I that again. I'm just trying to organize

279
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.639
<v Speaker 1>your life. I'd like to think I'm a relatively organized guy,

280
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.879
<v Speaker 1>but still some things just get out of out of

281
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:12.399
<v Speaker 1>whack and out of hand. I try to keep lists

282
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>on in my Microsoft Outlook, all my frequent flyer lists,

283
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.840
<v Speaker 1>like I have folders frequent flyers, and I pretty much

284
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>only fly Southwest airlines. We love Southwest Airlines. Southwest baby

285
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the a list preferred again disclosed to

286
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 1>do it. But I have probably eight, nine, ten frequent

287
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>flyer miles of all the airlines I have flown over

288
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the years. My hotel rewards card, my just everything. I

289
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 1>organize them and then I sync them up so they're

290
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>on my computer, but they're also on my phone too.

291
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'll go into when I check into a hotel.

292
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Is this a Marriott? Is this an IHG? Wait a minute,

293
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let me give you my frequent stayer card

294
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 1>or something. You need to have these things, because that's

295
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the purpose. I opt out of a lot of their

296
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>email newsletters because again organization Michael here, I tried to

297
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>make sure that my email inboxes about is uncluttered. These

298
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.519
<v Speaker 1>are listen. I know this is a busy time of year.

299
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:13.200
<v Speaker 1>It's the holiday seasons are getting repped up. You're gonna

300
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.680
<v Speaker 1>do some traveling and visitors are gonna come and you're

301
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be busy shopping and buying you know whatever, and

302
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 1>tying up the year. I talk about this a lot

303
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 1>when summer comes, because summer we may tend to have

304
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.759
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more time our hands. I don't know,

305
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>if you have some time, maybe it's a project for you,

306
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.920
<v Speaker 1>your spouse say, maybe you want to get your kids involved,

307
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 1>maybe you get but get your life and order people.

308
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I see what the FTC going back is trying to

309
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 1>do here, and there's gonna be a lawsuit. So again

310
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>it's something for me to talk about. It's decent content,

311
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and I do think you're a listening bottom of the

312
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>hour right now. When we come back, I am going

313
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 1>to talk about a streaming service and a service that

314
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you probably pay I don't know, ten dollars twenty dollars,

315
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty five dollars a month Amazon, Amazon. I'm gonna tell

316
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you something new that they've added another perk, because you

317
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.000
<v Speaker 1>do get some perk by having and again this is

318
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not an Amazon add I wish they would advertise with me,

319
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 1>but they don't. Amazon and many other streaming services they

320
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 1>do want to offer value. Amazon just added another partner

321
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 1>that can save you some money on something that you

322
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 1>used every single day, folks. That's called the T's. Because

323
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm a professional, We're going to come back on a

324
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>high tech texting show. I guess we can call this

325
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 1>my Halloween edition. As we do the show here on

326
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 1>the a few days before Halloween. The next show that

327
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I do will be a few days after Halloween where

328
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody will be on a sugar a high right, Michael Garfield.

329
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 1>It's called the High Tech textan show where I talk

330
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 1>about any damn thing that I want, anything that you want.

331
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, Halloween probably is my favorite holiday of the year.

332
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, tu Bischavat is pretty close to where else?

333
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 1>And what else can you go up to total strangers

334
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 1>dolls and ring the doorbell and you say, got there

335
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.079
<v Speaker 1>and you just get some candy people? How cool is that?

336
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen the prices of chocolate? Oh? I do

337
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>not think I'm going to get a lot of races

338
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>this year. Man, the price of chocolate? What are you

339
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>planning to give out? I need to take a quick pull.

340
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.400
<v Speaker 1>If anybody wants to go to X and hit me

341
00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.480

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>giving away candy unless you're one of those Halloween misers.

346
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 1>We're going to turn the lights off and watch TV

347
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 1>quietly upstairs. If nobody rings our doorbell, I don't know.

348
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Unless you're in the gated community, I don't know. Maybe

349
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.319
<v Speaker 1>you don't have any kids in your community. But have

350
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.319
<v Speaker 1>some fun. People have some fun. Callum, are you trick

351
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>or treating? I look at callum, callum, you're uh what

352
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.799
<v Speaker 1>your mid twenties, upper twenties. Yeah, you go. You told

353
00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 1>old a trick or treat? You know what? If listen

354
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.759
<v Speaker 1>here your ears at some point, I'm kind of cool

355
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 1>with it. If you make an effort and you're in

356
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.559
<v Speaker 1>your teens or even your tool, I don't know, because

357
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you can I can go trigger treating with a mask.

358
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.519
<v Speaker 1>No one that knows how old I am. If you

359
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 1>make an effort to put a mask on, just I'm

360
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you some candy. It's as simple as that.

361
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Just just make an effort, just put a smile. I

362
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>mean the memories I have of just trick or treating

363
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 1>for like five straight hours on a school night with

364
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, no parent supervision. Again, in the the late seventies,

365
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 1>the late seventies, when I grew up. At that time,

366
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just fun halloween costumes. What is a hot hollow?

367
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I saw something on Hell Oh my son love my

368
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.559
<v Speaker 1>my side. Three boys, my sons are all in their

369
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.759
<v Speaker 1>twenties and I they go to Halloween parties, are invited

370
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 1>to Halloween parties. I don't if they trick or treat.

371
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I would not mind if they trick or treat. I

372
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.640
<v Speaker 1>told the story last week. I think the reason I

373
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted and had kids was an excuse for the next

374
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty plus years to go trick or treating myself self.

375
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>But I'm talking to my son, my youngest. He's in Austin,

376
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and he was invited to a party. And it may

377
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>be tonight, baby, this weekend. And my son graduated from

378
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 1>ut like I did. He went to the Big ut

379
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Georgia game last year last week, which I don't want

380
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. He said, he's this is a litle

381
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 1>a cocky kid. He goes he was invited to party.

382
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I said, what do you what do you dress it

383
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 1>up as? He says he wants he's going to go

384
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 1>as Quinn yours and not show up cause for effect.

385
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So callum, that's where you that's where you put a

386
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:39.599
<v Speaker 1>rim shot. That's good, Quinn yours not showing up. Oh

387
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 1>look at me racking on my own textes long wards. No,

388
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I did see the top trending Halloween costumes this year

389
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>according to Google. A quick rundown. Number one Beetlejuice because

390
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the new Beetlejuice two or Beetlejuice be am. I allowed

391
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>to say it three times. New Beetlejuice movie came out recently.

392
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 1>The the Shrunken Head Bob is the number one for

393
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 1>Indian costume on Google from Beetlejuice. Number two is that

394
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 1>the ray Gun chick from the Olympics, who was just

395
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 1>the funny, weird break dancer. That's an easy costume. He

396
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>used to wear some kind of green and yellow outfit

397
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 1>with a hat on it. I'm not sure there's a

398
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Dolores from Beetlejuice. There's some characters from inside Out. That's

399
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.279
<v Speaker 1>a movie I've never seen. Doctor Doom. People helped me

400
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 1>out over here. Okay, here's why I know. Here's here's

401
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>number nine. Sabrina Carpenter. Now she's a singer. She's she's

402
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 1>very pretty young, twenty ish, a singer type of thing.

403
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:43.559
<v Speaker 1>How do you dresses? I mean, if a Sabrina Carpenter

404
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>dress person comes to my door, which trick or treats,

405
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:52.319
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't recognize Sabrita Carpenter, mean I would recognize, like,

406
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 1>remember the eighties, early eighties Madonna last when Madonna got big.

407
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.039
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of easy to spot Madonna because Madonna I

408
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.880
<v Speaker 1>had this style. Madonna had these that was a desperately

409
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 1>seeking Susan era and you know, the big black boots,

410
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of the goth thing, and your hair is blonde

411
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and you had black lipstick on, and then you had

412
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:18.680
<v Speaker 1>these the rubber gasket wristbands or something. Oh Madonna. I mean,

413
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>if Sabrina Carpenter closed my eyes, it looks the same

414
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>as Taylor Swift. It looks the same as I don't know,

415
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 1>probably six or seven of these other people. So I

416
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 1>don't what are you going as? Uh, somebody's actually hold

417
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 1>on Chipotle, Chipotle Burrito. Somebody's going as a Chipotle. I

418
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>would not. I would go as a Cabo Bob's Burrito

419
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:42.079
<v Speaker 1>because it's a bigger, better costume. You see what I

420
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>did there. I always take care of our partners and

421
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 1>sponsors here seven one three, two one two five nine five. Oh,

422
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker 1>should you be listening plausably live here to me? Michael

423
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Garfield is the name. It is called the the High

424
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Tech Textan Show. It's whatever Michael wants to talk about

425
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and have fun with the uh my longtime listeners here

426
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>on weekends. If you have Amazon, as I promised, I'm

427
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 1>going to pay off this tease here, Amazon has a

428
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.079
<v Speaker 1>little something for you Amazon Prime members. How much do

429
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>you pay for Amazon Prime? Is it twenty? It's about

430
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and thirty hundred and forty bucks a year

431
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 1>right now? Right? I guess maybe I don't know. And

432
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you're getting a new perk. By the way, you're getting

433
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.759
<v Speaker 1>extra savings at the pump something we use every day, gasoline.

434
00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 1>If you link your Amazon count with a BP or

435
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.480
<v Speaker 1>an Amaco station, you're going to save ten cents a gallon.

436
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Walmart actually has something like this with Exxon stations, and

437
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 1>they're a competitor. They have Walmart Plus. I do not

438
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 1>have Walmart. I like Walmart. I don't have Walmart Plus.

439
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But if you go to Exon station, that's odd because

440
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Walmart this was its own gas stations. But maybe they

441
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 1>use Xon. Maybe it's an Exon brand stations. I don't know.

442
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing. Before you do this, you need

443
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 1>to agree to let BP. If you're going back to

444
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.759
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon story, you need to let BP collect information

445
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>about you to get your discount. So what's the harm

446
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>in joining just one more wealthy program? Huh? I don't know.

447
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 1>You link your Amazon count to BP and and then

448
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you go. Companies need to do that programs like this.

449
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of happy because Amazon, I think, already offers

450
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 1>partnership discounts to really boost Amazon Primes appeal as a

451
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>subscription because listen, I just said it's one hundred thirty

452
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty hundred and fifty bones a year. But

453
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 1>what are you getting for that? Okay, well, you're gonna

454
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 1>get two free days of free shipping. The second day

455
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>free or whatever it is, you get the streaming service

456
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.599
<v Speaker 1>because prices do keep keep getting hired for streaming services.

457
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Amazon also added free food delivery through Grubhub this past summer.

458
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind keep adding on. Oh, by the way,

459
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 1>here's a perk. At what cost is it? Well, it's

460
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>your giving up a lot of your some of the

461
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 1>your information. How do you protect yourself for some of

462
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>this stuff? The thing is the most valuable, But what's

463
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the if you think about if you own a company,

464
00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you may own a mom at pop shop. What do

465
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you want to do? You want likes, you want email, subscription, newsletters.

466
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 1>You want information because you can market that way. The

467
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.079
<v Speaker 1>most valuable piece of anything of a company right now,

468
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's data. It's information. You look at Amazon. How much

469
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 1>information does Amazon? Microsoft? Apple? How much information do they

470
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 1>have on us? It is stunning, It is stunning. How

471
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>much information is they? These companies know more about you

472
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 1>than the closest family members do. I'm serious about that.

473
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe you didn't know that you related to

474
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 1>this person. Maybe you didn't know somebody's maiden name, or

475
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe he didn't know that this person's is connected to

476
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you this way. Maybe your kids don't know that you

477
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 1>like this certain type of food, or that you buy

478
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.359
<v Speaker 1>this certain type of clothing brand or whatever. Amazon knows.

479
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>All these companies know this stuff. You know, she should

480
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you know when you're when you're out there dating. And

481
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>next the next segment, I'm gona talk about online dating

482
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 1>apps because that they're in the news too. When you

483
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>start dating someone, you've got it. And again I'm not

484
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 1>an expert of this, but you have to start from

485
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 1>ground one. What's your name? Where are you from? And

486
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>at my age, it's like have you been married? And

487
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I guess you should start off are you currently married?

488
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Which is at that point you just say, buy nice media.

489
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Have you been married? Do you have kids? Your parents

00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 1>about Halloway trigger treating when it's hot and sweaty outside.

531
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I've done that many many to obviously growing up in Texas,

532
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 1>but when my kids were younger, I'm gonna go back

533
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago. When I was taking the trigger treating.

534
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I would dress up because that's how I rolls, and

535
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll wear these big old costumes. And it's October thirty.

536
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 1>First you would think that the weather was nice. Oh no,

537
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.319
<v Speaker 1>it's like eighty nine degrees ninety ninety one at the

538
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:43.119
<v Speaker 1>start of the or treating you know when the sun

539
00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>almost goes down and I'm just fitzing up a pool

540
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll put I used to pull the ya.

541
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Everybody in the world knows that reese is are the

542
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 1>greatest thing knowing to man. And my kids have some,

543
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.799
<v Speaker 1>my three boys, they would, you know, always ask can

544
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I have an extra win for my dad to bit

545
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 1>back there? And I would. They would give me reces

546
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and I would put it in my pocket to the

547
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.599
<v Speaker 1>costume and I'd walk two houses down and it would

548
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.359
<v Speaker 1>just be melted chocolate. Can I just wish for cooler weather? Finally?

549
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 1>That's I don't know. Maybe I have some good news there.

550
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's some good news. If you're doing or want to

551
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>do some online dating. Calum, do you do? Is he? Calum?

552
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:25.240
<v Speaker 1>You are the big Calumar here mid twenties. He's working

553
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the phones and punching the buttons. Here on the other side,

554
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 1>you're perfect. I don't know, do you have a girlfriend?

555
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Online dating? Because this is this is your generation, right,

556
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>this is how you f I see. I am of

557
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the generation where to find a mate you you would

558
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 1>somebody would introduce you. You would go to a restaurant

559
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 1>or a bar, hang out with your buds and then

560
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>you would meet somebody and that was it. Nowadays there's

561
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.759
<v Speaker 1>online dating apps, and so it's a lot of a

562
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:03.559
<v Speaker 1>number of my buddies now who were divorced and now

563
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they're on there, you know, maybe looking for their second

564
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.839
<v Speaker 1>love of their lives. They they've tried the dating apps,

565
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and I just it's as as technological advance as I am.

566
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 1>I just I haven't taken this step yet. And so yeah,

567
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I saw the reason I talked about this. I saw

568
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the story there is, Uh, we're talking about advertising bad.

569
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You see all these advertise advertisements or here advertisements for Bumbleeharmony,

570
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 1>match dot com, Hinge and Tender and reading these because

571
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I do not know these offhand, I really don't. They're

572
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>spending more money. You're gonna see more odds for these,

573
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 1>probably this time of year, because time of the year,

574
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the holiday seasons where I guess you could get lonely

575
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 1>you want to meet somebody with Last year the number

576
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 1>one biggest learning experience over here, the biggest change has

577
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 1>been Bumble as he clips Tender as the that is

578
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Speaker 1>spending the most on advertising. Humblest spent forty four million

579
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:07.119
<v Speaker 1>dollars this year through the end of July. And you know,

580
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm talking about this because online dating has

581
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>come up relatively frequently for me lately. Garth, how come

582
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>you're not on it? Man? It's just like shooting fish

583
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 1>in the barrel? Are you kidding me? This is the

584
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.599
<v Speaker 1>easiest thing to do. I don't know, man, I don't know.

585
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.839
<v Speaker 1>All I'm saying is this, and this is I'm not

586
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:29.359
<v Speaker 1>begging into some of some of my radio ad salespeople

587
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.119
<v Speaker 1>who Calum we were hanging out with at their client

588
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 1>event a few days ago at the Texas Gun Club.

589
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 1>You want an easy, low hanging endorsement, it's getting me

590
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:49.640
<v Speaker 1>on a dating app. So bumble match, dot com, e harmony.

591
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 1>If you're interested. You got a single dude who does

592
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing but promote technology. I should try this thing. Maybe

593
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that's maybe that, Maybe I'm just tolding out for a

594
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.400
<v Speaker 1>sponsorship endorsement. I don't know. I honestly that's not the

595
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:06.119
<v Speaker 1>reason why. But you know what that would do. But

596
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 1>then again, if a coffee company, I'm gonna talk about

597
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:12.119
<v Speaker 1>things I hate, and you know, if you're a long

598
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>time listening, you know things I like and don't like.

599
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 1>I have never in my life and I'm in my fifties.

600
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.079
<v Speaker 1>I've never had a sip of coffee. I don't want

601
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to drink coffee. I'm not gonna start drinking coffee if

602
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>is folders still around. This is what an idiot I

603
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 1>wanta comes to coffee community. I think community coffee. They're

604
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>based here in Houston, right right. If a coffee company

605
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.360
<v Speaker 1>came to me and they said, Michael, we got a

606
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>great here's the we're gonna this, this is phenomenal. You've

607
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>never had a sip of coffee five plus decades of

608
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.639
<v Speaker 1>your life. We're going to make a commercial. We're gonna

609
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.320
<v Speaker 1>film you and pay you. You're gonna endorse our company

610
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.199
<v Speaker 1>of drinking your very first sip of coffee. I wouldn't

611
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:51.679
<v Speaker 1>do it. I just don't think I would do it

612
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 1>because it's ingenuous. He I only talk about I promote

613
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>things that I truly belie, even in love, and like

614
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the true me. It's if if it I'm telling

615
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 1>you right now, if Hellman's mayo or Duke's mayonnaise came here,

616
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't even I would not even respond to them.

617
00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't work that way. Nope, we used to do we

618
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 1>still we used to broadcast the Texas A and M

619
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.199
<v Speaker 1>football games. I don't know do we even still broadcast

620
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the Aggi football games on one of our stations? Maybe

621
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe we do. Uh. And this is this I'm not

622
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.159
<v Speaker 1>riding on Aggie's at all right now. This is a

623
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:28.639
<v Speaker 1>true story. So this is about twenty years ago and

624
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I just came here and it was Aggi's on KPRC

625
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Aggi and My show on Saturday. From at this time slot,

626
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>we're generally lead into an Aggie game kickoff. Well, not

627
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:41.079
<v Speaker 1>of these are incredibly loyal, and there are so many

628
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:45.519
<v Speaker 1>locally used to own Texas A and M graduate owned businesses,

629
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Aggie owned businesses, right, and our sales team would go out,

630
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.079
<v Speaker 1>they would pitch me to do commercials and that's what

631
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 1>we do over here. If we're on the radio, it's hey,

632
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 1>it's Garth for this. Uh. They would not pitch me

633
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.480
<v Speaker 1>to any Aggie own clients because all I would all

634
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I talk about is still is Texas Longhorns. And I man,

635
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that you don't want to it's it's it's

636
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.719
<v Speaker 1>fun and games. And again, my late great best friend

637
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Randy Lemon, who passed away about year and a half ago,

638
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>major Raggy. We had so much fun of going back

639
00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 1>and forth out our radio shows. The guard line in

640
00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>my show is just you know, Aggie's in Longhorns, but

641
00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.039
<v Speaker 1>it's you believe in what you want to believe in

642
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.079
<v Speaker 1>and uh and and I hope when you hear commercials

643
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.840
<v Speaker 1>across all platforms of TV and radio, and I know

644
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:32.840
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work. Now I look at these social media

645
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm getting on my soapbox. Now, these social media influencers,

646
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.039
<v Speaker 1>these young kids, they they get they get paid on

647
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 1>godly amounts of money for making these fun content videos.

648
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't know how to sell. They've probably never used

649
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.119
<v Speaker 1>the product. I grew up. I worked at QVC. I

650
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>literally was on air at QVC where I studied products

651
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.519
<v Speaker 1>of why this product is going to change your life.

652
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I understand how to position it, but I use it

653
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 1>too because people come up to Michael the I really

654
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.599
<v Speaker 1>drive this car? Do you really wear this clothing brand?

655
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you really drink this beer? Yeah? I do? And

656
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in so much though, I can actually give you the

657
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:11.440
<v Speaker 1>name of the owner of the company. If you want

658
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to get this deal, just use my name like that.

659
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 1>So there's the soapbox. So where was I even going

660
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 1>through this thing online dating. They're spending a lot of money.

661
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I do not.

662
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Promote one, but oh beck could be a very interesting campaign.

663

<v Speaker 1>I'll let you love molam mat here for the next

00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:44.239
<v Speaker 1>got a few emails this week about retro technology. Technology

701
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that is old is new again. And obviously you have

702
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.039
<v Speaker 1>to you have to understand what generation you are in.

703
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:57.119
<v Speaker 1>But from my you know my generation as a gen xer.

704
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm a gen xer and I was a teenager in

705
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighties. I mean breaking news. I'm obsessed with

706
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:09.920
<v Speaker 1>anything that looks or sounds or tastes and smells or

707
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.679
<v Speaker 1>feels like a throwback to that time. I mean I

708
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.679
<v Speaker 1>still have semi big hair. I mean I don't have

709
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:19.320
<v Speaker 1>any jelly shoes, or I don't have any let games

710
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:22.039
<v Speaker 1>or my white high top rebox. Oh yes I had this,

711
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.679
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of the electronic stuff they're coming back,

712
00:40:28.679 --> 00:40:31.639
<v Speaker 1>and so open phone lines. I just gave you the number.

718
00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:47.559
<v Speaker 1>do you miss about gadgets back in the day, and

719
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:50.679
<v Speaker 1>give me a specific one. I mean. One of the

720
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:54.559
<v Speaker 1>greatest handheld gaming devices before really true gaming came along

721
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 1>was the Mattel football, the little Motel foot. They had

722
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.519
<v Speaker 1>a basketball too, but that little bit tell handheld electronic

723
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>football game. But all they have was an up and

724
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 1>down and left and right, and they were dots. It

725
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:11.960
<v Speaker 1>was a plastic screen that looked like a football field

726
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and you would just go up and down to move

727
00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:17.039
<v Speaker 1>your player, which was a freaking dash, is what it

728
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was and you would score a touchdown. I mean, do

729
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you talk about retro Those things were freaking addicting. Some

730
00:41:23.559 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 1>of the things that are back right now. Flip phones,

731
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:31.199
<v Speaker 1>flip phones are all the rage these days, and I

732
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>think it's partly due to smartphone burnout. I use a smartphone.

733
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I use a flip phone right now, but I do

734
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>use a high heck. I mean there's low tech flip phones.

735
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And I say that there was a Barbie flip phone

736
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:50.199
<v Speaker 1>that came out earlier this year, and it really did

737
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:54.880
<v Speaker 1>nothing other than what the original flip phones did when

738
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.920
<v Speaker 1>they released what twenty to thirty years ago. You know,

739
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you had to use the crazy text like if you

740
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.719
<v Speaker 1>wanted to, you know, text the letter C, you had

741
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.679
<v Speaker 1>to hit the two button three times to two. And

742
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:11.079
<v Speaker 1>there was this, I mean, just rudimentary stuff. But they're back.

743
00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I use a Samsung flip phone. There are also many

744
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.400
<v Speaker 1>fold phones right now, but those things are coming back.

745
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:23.960
<v Speaker 1>To what am I missing over here? Remember somebody had said,

746
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:28.039
<v Speaker 1>if you go on eBay, the original Sony walk Man

747
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:31.800
<v Speaker 1>is back, the Sony freaking walk Man. And you know

748
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>what I had. I didn't have the original Sony walk Man,

749
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.559
<v Speaker 1>and I may have had a knockoff version of the

750
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:43.880
<v Speaker 1>portable radio FM AM cassette player. Will you put the

751
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:48.199
<v Speaker 1>wired ear buds in your ear? And it was plastic.

752
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:51.199
<v Speaker 1>But those things are coming back. I mean, it's an

753
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:56.320
<v Speaker 1>is analog here to stay. Who needs digital? But there's

754
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:58.880
<v Speaker 1>a market for this, which I'm kind of kind of

755
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:03.760
<v Speaker 1>happy because I am not saying I'm a hoarder, but

756
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I do tend to keep a lot of crap around

757
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.119
<v Speaker 1>my house and in my garage. I know a lot

758
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 1>of people who are listening who know me pretty well.

759
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:17.800
<v Speaker 1>They're going, yep. I have cell phones that date back

760
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to yes, the original flip phones. I don't know why.

761
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe one day I may want to create

762
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:27.199
<v Speaker 1>a small, high tech textan museum. Do you remember when

763
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:33.199
<v Speaker 1>technology like this? I have almost every blackberrier I still

764
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.239
<v Speaker 1>they're sitting there, sitting in a box, gaining dust in

765
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a garage. Oh no, it's nostalgia. Somebody make me an

766
00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:46.000
<v Speaker 1>offer for this day. The final records you're back, my son,

767
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.119
<v Speaker 1>he's in his twenties right now. For the last holiday

768
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:51.440
<v Speaker 1>season he wanted or he went out and got a

769
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 1>record player. He went out and bought some records at

770
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:59.639
<v Speaker 1>old vinyl stores. I have a pretty much all of

771
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:02.679
<v Speaker 1>my record words, which I don't use because my record players. Again,

772
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it's still in my garage, but I don't keep it

773
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:07.320
<v Speaker 1>out anywhere, but I have all my records. So he

774
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:08.920
<v Speaker 1>came back, he came to town, I don't know a

775
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:11.760
<v Speaker 1>few months ago, and he sifted through my records. But

776
00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:17.119
<v Speaker 1>it was neat sharing this with you know, another generation

777
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 1>of this is how music used to be. You just

778
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>don't download it. There was liner notes where you could

779
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.719
<v Speaker 1>see the lyrics, and there was you know, the you know,

780
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.239
<v Speaker 1>thank you to my producers, and there was all these

781
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:34.639
<v Speaker 1>great photos, and the album covers were spectacular, like Asia,

782
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 1>some of the greatest art Well covers ever. And you know,

783
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:42.400
<v Speaker 1>he was looking at this thing and whatever and then

784
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:46.079
<v Speaker 1>putting the needle on it. It suthing. He got a

785
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.760
<v Speaker 1>really crappy record player. But nowadays, the high end vinyl

786
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>record players, analog as they are, there is some of

787
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the greatest sounds, if not even better sounds than digital.

788
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm serious about this thing. That's Old is New Man,

789
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.159
<v Speaker 1>which is good as I continue to reach a sadly

790
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.280
<v Speaker 1>a milestone birthday here next year, Old is New A

791
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:13.920
<v Speaker 1>boombox I still have my boombox. It was a Panasonic

792
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:15.519
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't call it a boombox. I called it

793
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a jam box. This jam box made it through high school,

794
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.079
<v Speaker 1>made it through college, and it has made it through

795
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.880
<v Speaker 1>another forty years post college. But the boomboxes, the jam

796
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:30.159
<v Speaker 1>boxes are back. Sony still makes it jbl Anchor. There's

797
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:33.360
<v Speaker 1>bluetooth versions of Now I will put my cassette in there.

798
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I should post this on my I need to post

799
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this on one of my or a few of my

800
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>social media's. What my jam box looks right now? It

801
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 1>is there's paint on air because I sit in the garage.

802
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this thing has been through everything. It's probably

803
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:50.480
<v Speaker 1>floated in lakes and rivers because you know, you know,

804
00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:52.320
<v Speaker 1>we used to go waterskin on boats in high school

805
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:53.920
<v Speaker 1>with some budies of mine. They didn't have the big

806
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:59.199
<v Speaker 1>sophisticated sound systems. Hey man, Garth, bring your jambox. That's

807
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:03.199
<v Speaker 1>coming about Polaroid pictures, man, And I know there's a

808
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:07.199
<v Speaker 1>whole subset of people listening going, what is this guy

809
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:13.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Holaroids? Baby Polaroids still make cameras, the instant camera,

810
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the Polaroid six hundred supercolor is that it's one hundred

811
00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and sixty bucks. It's an instant camera. Got the rainbow stripe?

812
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You put the film in there? Oh, I just lost

813
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:26.079
<v Speaker 1>another whole subset of people that are know what film is.

814
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:27.719
<v Speaker 1>You push your button and all of a sudden he

815
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:30.280
<v Speaker 1>goes and you'll wait sixty seconds and you actually have

816
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:33.239
<v Speaker 1>a printed version of whatever you're taking instead of on

817
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:38.400
<v Speaker 1>your digital phone right now. Alarm clocks always the trivia question.

818
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:40.639
<v Speaker 1>What's the oldest piece of technology you have in your house?

819
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.119
<v Speaker 1>People forget the alarm clock. I still have the alarm

820
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:46.039
<v Speaker 1>clock I used in college and it's still sitting next

821
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:50.159
<v Speaker 1>to my bed and it still freaking works. Yes it is.

822
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Alarm clocks are coming back. What's up? McFly Back to

823
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 1>the Future VHS DVD, Blow Blu Ray Are they returning?

00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I like it, say, this is what I did. It's

850
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a radio man. We just we we give stuff away.

851
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:26.079
<v Speaker 1>That's what I should do. I just talked about retro

852
00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:30.599
<v Speaker 1>technology items. Then have of my garage? I need a

853
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.800
<v Speaker 1>high tech text and garage sale. I could, actually I could.

854
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:39.239
<v Speaker 1>I could make some pretty big coin. There's there's a

855
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of old stuff that I have. Retro is a

856
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>new thing. It is, it is coming back. But new

857
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.599
<v Speaker 1>technology is also scary too. And I got it. I

858
00:48:48.719 --> 00:48:51.639
<v Speaker 1>several times a month, I'll get emails and I'll get

859
00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.039
<v Speaker 1>some calls. Here is it safe to share? Michael? Tell

860
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:58.039
<v Speaker 1>me about this biometric data? And I just got an

861
00:48:58.039 --> 00:48:59.800
<v Speaker 1>email right now, Michael, last last hour. You just talked

862
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:03.559
<v Speaker 1>to the data that companies utilize and covet data. But

863
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>what about biometric data? What about my eyes? What about

864
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:11.559
<v Speaker 1>my fingerprints? Is that okay to do? Should I use

865
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:14.880
<v Speaker 1>my phone where I look at it for face identification?

866
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:17.719
<v Speaker 1>If not Apple or Samsung, they're going to get my

867
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 1>face ID. Well you know what. Apple has been using

868
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:27.079
<v Speaker 1>your face data for security for many years. I use

869
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:32.880
<v Speaker 1>my fingerprint to unlock my phones. Have you been to

870
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the airport lately and you go through TSA and you

871
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:39.840
<v Speaker 1>don't even need to show your ID. You look into

872
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.559
<v Speaker 1>this device and it scans your face Clear does it,

873
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and TSA does it. Also, that's the biometric stuff, your face,

874
00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:54.320
<v Speaker 1>your fingerprints. One end. They can save some time. They

875
00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:57.519
<v Speaker 1>can save a little time. But there's a number of

876
00:49:57.559 --> 00:49:59.760
<v Speaker 1>different security lists. I'm not going to tell you what

877
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to do and what not to do. If you want

878
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to save time, you just let big Brother continue to

879
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.440
<v Speaker 1>do what it does. Go ahead, do it. Should you

880
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.920
<v Speaker 1>give companies? Should you give agencies access to your most

881
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:13.400
<v Speaker 1>personal data, stuff that you were born with, your fingerprints

882
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and everything. Cell phone companies have been doing it. My computer,

883
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I have an HP. I've long had an HP, even

884
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in my home, on my desktop, even though the fact

885
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that I live alone. I have a password on my desktop,

886
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.599
<v Speaker 1>but I don't use my password. I have a camera,

887
00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:32.119
<v Speaker 1>like most desktops and laptops have a camera facing me.

888
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I let it recognize my face and it opens it up.

889
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Sure as heck saves me time, people, Sure as heck

890
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 1>saves me from remembering the password. I just look at

891
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:45.239
<v Speaker 1>the camera. I'm fine with that. I don't get no.

892
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 1>HP may do something with it. What are they going

893
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to do? I don't know. Are they going to clone me?

894
00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:53.719
<v Speaker 1>It's good get I said, I don't know. Another nice looking,

895
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:59.239
<v Speaker 1>hairy guy, go ahead, clone me the Apple face ID whatever.

896
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 1>It's called the Touchless Identity Solution. You look at a camera,

897
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you wait for an agent to give you the green light.

898
00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Boom boom. But for this to work, you're gonna need

899
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a US passport and you need to sign up with

900
00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:16.960
<v Speaker 1>for TSA PreCheck both of what I've done. When you

901
00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:19.440
<v Speaker 1>scan it in through your Airlines app, they're gonna ask

902
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you to have a biometric scan. I'm actually fine with

903
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that whatever, but you know something, I don't use it locks.

904
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't shop here often. That I really had no

905
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:33.000
<v Speaker 1>problem because I wanted to test it out. Whole Foods.

906
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:36.280
<v Speaker 1>You've been a Whole food slightly. They have process that's

907
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of similar to the TSA. They don't scan your face,

908
00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:45.559
<v Speaker 1>but they scan the palm of your hand. It's through

909
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the Amazon one. You link a credit card to your

910
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding, your palm signature when you check out,

911
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:58.559
<v Speaker 1>and I believe all Whole Foods have this. You scan

912
00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 1>your hand with the scanner. There's a specific scanner. You

913
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>scan your hand and the data finds is compared to

914
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:10.679
<v Speaker 1>your palm signature that's stored in Amazon's cloud finds the match,

915
00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:13.800
<v Speaker 1>charges your credit card, You're paid, You're good to go.

916
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Amazon says they only save the mathematical data behind your

917
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:26.559
<v Speaker 1>palm signature, not the actual photos of your hand. Ah,

918
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:31.280
<v Speaker 1>what's the diff Go ahead and get a photo of

919
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:35.679
<v Speaker 1>my hand. What are they gonna do? But then again,

920
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.719
<v Speaker 1>this means that hacker couldn't use a high quality pick

921
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:41.280
<v Speaker 1>of your palm to pass as you if they did

922
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:44.719
<v Speaker 1>with Amazon says by not actually saving photos of your hand,

923
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:51.039
<v Speaker 1>it's listen heard these more advanced biometric skin screenings. Are

924
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:57.000
<v Speaker 1>they hack proofs? It's pretty unlikely that a crook's gonna

925
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:00.000
<v Speaker 1>fool a biometric reading in the airport because agents would

926
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.199
<v Speaker 1>figured it out pretty quickly. But even if it's whole foods,

927
00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it'd be tough for someone to use an image of

928
00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:10.679
<v Speaker 1>your palm to pay. But I said this because I've

929
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:15.400
<v Speaker 1>covered this industry for twenty plus years. As technology advances,

930
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:20.920
<v Speaker 1>so do criminals. Artificial intelligence, the deep fakes, there's so

931
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.800
<v Speaker 1>much better than they were a year ago. Yes, there

932
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:28.639
<v Speaker 1>could be a day when deep fakes masks. I'll admission impossible.

933
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:34.320
<v Speaker 1>They could fool facial recognition software. I mean, you have

934
00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to think about this. Do you trust the government agencies?

935
00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:40.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you trust big companies to store your biometric data,

936
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:43.079
<v Speaker 1>much less any other kind of data. They're not immune

937
00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:47.679
<v Speaker 1>to data breaches. So I guess to answer the questions

938
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that I get, you know, think about opting into or

939
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:55.519
<v Speaker 1>not opting into these services to protect your biometric data.

940
00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Never possible. Use your biometric stuff in pandem with a password,

941
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:09.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe two factor authentication. Maybe it's authentic era. Yes, read

942
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:12.800
<v Speaker 1>my face. But before you let me in or before

943
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you charge something, send me a text so I can

944
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:20.840
<v Speaker 1>verify a second way. Okay, that's cool. If you use

945
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:23.440
<v Speaker 1>or upload biometric data online, you may want to try

946
00:54:23.480 --> 00:54:26.639
<v Speaker 1>to use a VPN, the virtual private network to secure

947
00:54:26.679 --> 00:54:29.440
<v Speaker 1>your Internet connection first. Try not to do it on

948
00:54:29.480 --> 00:54:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a public system. But it's it's it's a can of worms.

949
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:35.880
<v Speaker 1>It's this is the stuff that I cover, this is

950
00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that I test too. That go back to

951
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the Whole Foods thing. I'm actual only found out about it,

952
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but I'm standing getting ready to check out of the

953
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Whole Foods and it's like, and I do have an

954
00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazon account. It's like, okay, let's go ahead, and yeah,

955
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you do have to go to I believe the Whole

956
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Foods initially to scan your palm, which I did. It

957
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.639
<v Speaker 1>took all of I don't know, a few seconds. It

958
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.000
<v Speaker 1>knows it matches up with my credit cards and I'll

959
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:04.960
<v Speaker 1>set to go. But it's pretty cool. I'm sorry, man.

960
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.079
<v Speaker 1>I have a Whole Foods that is less than half

961
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:11.360
<v Speaker 1>a mile from my house, totally walkable, and I generally

962
00:55:11.400 --> 00:55:13.880
<v Speaker 1>walk where. When I'm on my run, I will stop

963
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:16.360
<v Speaker 1>through the Whole Foods to pick up one thing or

964
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:19.400
<v Speaker 1>two things. I don't run with my wallet, but you

965
00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:23.000
<v Speaker 1>know what I always have. I got my palm. Yep.

966
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I sit there and I pay with my palm. It's

967
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a convenience. I'm sorry it is, and I'm cool

968
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:34.639
<v Speaker 1>with that. But that's what we do with technology. Our

969
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:38.480
<v Speaker 1>phones are not only convenient, they're almost it's it's almost

970
00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 1>it's necessary. Nowadays, you don't want to let people know

971
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:45.199
<v Speaker 1>where you are, so let's just turn off your GPS.

972
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Well okay, good, Well if you want to use Google

973
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Maps or something, good luck, because your mapping needs to

974
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.320
<v Speaker 1>know where you are. So that's why GPS is enabled.

975
00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:59.119
<v Speaker 1>If not, your phone becomes a brick. We have to

976
00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:04.880
<v Speaker 1>give out our information to utilize something it's it's it's

977
00:56:04.880 --> 00:56:08.679
<v Speaker 1>the exchange. Sometimes instead of subscriptions, that's what you do.

978
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you still have to pay a subscription like Amazon

979
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:15.559
<v Speaker 1>and still give your palm information away. Hey, thoughts in this.

980
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm more than happy uh to uh take your phone calls.

981
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:21.199
<v Speaker 1>I promise I won't ask you for a subscription fee.

982
00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I won't ask you for your password. You could just

983
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:25.320
<v Speaker 1>call seven one three two one two five nine five.

984
00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:27.119
<v Speaker 1>O's we get to the bottom of this hour. I'm

985
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a high tech texting show, got it. I hope everybody's

986
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:36.159
<v Speaker 1>having a very nice Saturday here one of the what

<v Speaker 1>you on Saturdays. And if you're listening on iHeartRadio, thank

993
00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:57.639
<v Speaker 1>you for downloading that app. Tell you what if you're

994
00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:00.639
<v Speaker 1>in Houston, I got an idea of where you want

995
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:03.159
<v Speaker 1>to be next week, actually two days from right now,

996
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:06.519
<v Speaker 1>this coming Monday night to kick off Halloween week. I

997
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:08.639
<v Speaker 1>know where I will be. I'm actually anxious. I'm going

998
00:57:08.719 --> 00:57:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to go to the newly reopened, refurbished River Oaks THEA

999
00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And you have to say it that way, it's the

1000
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:18.760
<v Speaker 1>ATA because it's spilled that way. It's long been just

1001
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:21.599
<v Speaker 1>an iconic theater auditorium here in Houston for a long time.

1002
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:24.519
<v Speaker 1>It was shut down for a while refurbished, and this

1003
00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Monday night is something special, especially for all you longtime

1004
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Ustonians who are fans of radio, specifically Rock one oh

1005
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:38.159
<v Speaker 1>one k l o L if you remember that name,

1006
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the station in the call letters. I have a little

1007
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:44.320
<v Speaker 1>history with Rock one oh one when I started with

1008
00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Clear Channel Radio twenty two, twenty three years ago. So

1009
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:51.880
<v Speaker 1>your gentleal which is now iHeart just really a name change.

1010
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.320
<v Speaker 1>We owned eight stations here and I had a presence

1011
00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:57.960
<v Speaker 1>on all eight of our stations and appearances in one

1012
00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.079
<v Speaker 1>of which was Rock one oh one. I was with

1013
00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the greg O Pruitt and the Boner, and two of

1014
00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.440
<v Speaker 1>those guys, greg O and Boner, I believe, are going

1015
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to be at this very special event on Monday along

1016
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:11.880
<v Speaker 1>with some other people. It is a movie. It's a

1017
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:16.000
<v Speaker 1>documentary that was released not long ago, a special screening

1018
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>this coming Monday night. The director, the person behind the concept,

1019
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:22.760
<v Speaker 1>who's worked over three quarters of his life, has put

1020
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:24.920
<v Speaker 1>all of his dollars in money into it that he

1021
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:28.119
<v Speaker 1>can't end his kids to college. Those names. Mike McGuff,

1022
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:30.800
<v Speaker 1>he is here in Houston, and I'm going to bring

1023
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:32.760
<v Speaker 1>him in because I'm excited because I'm going to be

1024
00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:36.599
<v Speaker 1>emceeing this. Mcguffer joins me, Maybe, are you nervous to

1025
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:38.880
<v Speaker 1>have more people see this thing and either cheer or

1026
00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:40.480
<v Speaker 1>hopefully give you some critique.

1027
00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:44.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm actually more nervous being on the high tech textan show,

1028
00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:46.360
<v Speaker 4>to be quite honest. But now here you know that

1029
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:48.599
<v Speaker 4>I took fourteen years to make this. But think about

1030
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.320
<v Speaker 4>I think I've been coming on your show for seventeen

1031
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:54.960
<v Speaker 4>years now. I just realized that is how what a

1032
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:59.840
<v Speaker 4>long running show? This is becoming iconic, a legend in

1033
00:58:59.840 --> 00:59:02.480
<v Speaker 4>it self. Your radio show, the iTech Texan.

1034
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Well maybe after a quarter century it will be iconic,

1035
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>but I will tell let's go, let's get back on

1036
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:11.559
<v Speaker 1>topic here, should we rock one to one? Kalel is

1037
00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:14.480
<v Speaker 1>iconic and listen, you know everybody could talk about radio.

1038
00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:17.079
<v Speaker 1>What's happening? In radio nowadays. I obviously I still believe

1039
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>in radio rock.

1040
00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:18.960
<v Speaker 3>One to one.

1041
00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:22.000
<v Speaker 1>You talk about one of the most iconic rock stations,

1042
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:24.159
<v Speaker 1>not just in Texas, my friend, but did you know

1043
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:28.719
<v Speaker 1>in the country it is no longer in its sane,

1044
00:59:29.159 --> 00:59:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, since as we knew it back then, you know,

1045
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:33.400
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties and nineties. But why was this so

1046
00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:36.199
<v Speaker 1>important for you to dig into this fourteen years and

1047
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:37.400
<v Speaker 1>make a documentary out of this?

1048
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, I grew up with the station, you know. It

1049
00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:42.079
<v Speaker 4>was one of those stations you found when you were

1050
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:44.639
<v Speaker 4>I was like a freshman at Lamar High School, so

1051
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:48.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, you're kind of figuring out the world, and

1052
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.519
<v Speaker 4>this is pre internet. So you tune in and you're like, wow,

1053
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.960
<v Speaker 4>this is kind of mind expanding and they're talking about

1054
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:59.159
<v Speaker 4>stuff I have never heard on this station, and being

1055
00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:02.039
<v Speaker 4>such a music I just liked it because of that.

1056
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:05.480
<v Speaker 4>The DJs were knowledgeable about the music. I learned about

1057
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:08.960
<v Speaker 4>current bands at the time, I learned about past bands.

1058
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:12.880
<v Speaker 4>I really developed my what we call classic rock knowledge.

1059
01:00:13.119 --> 01:00:18.199
<v Speaker 4>They're listening to kol because back then I couldn't just

1060
01:00:18.360 --> 01:00:22.599
<v Speaker 4>log on to streaming and pick whatever I wanted, you know,

1061
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:24.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, I could go to a CD store tape

1062
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:26.679
<v Speaker 4>store back then, and I wouldn't have known what I

1063
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:29.920
<v Speaker 4>was looking for, right, So, radio it's so important to

1064
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:33.079
<v Speaker 4>introduce you to the music and really just the lifestyle

1065
01:00:33.159 --> 01:00:37.119
<v Speaker 4>and the comedy. Think about it, we didn't have social

1066
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:42.039
<v Speaker 4>media with now you have TikTok, you know, comedians, Instagram, comedians.

1067
01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:44.559
<v Speaker 4>You had Stevenson prove it back then and all the

1068
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:49.360
<v Speaker 4>other DJs who were always razor.

1069
01:00:48.599 --> 01:00:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Or had a raise wit.

1070
01:00:50.920 --> 01:00:54.480
<v Speaker 4>So it's that that's why I did it, because it

1071
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:57.840
<v Speaker 4>really is a time that no longer exists, just thanks

1072
01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.800
<v Speaker 4>to the changes in society with you know, hey, this

1073
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:02.760
<v Speaker 4>is the high Tech Texan Show. Think to how much

1074
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.679
<v Speaker 4>technology has changed everything since the time even that station

1075
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:09.159
<v Speaker 4>went off the air in two thousand and four. Think

1076
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:12.400
<v Speaker 4>of how much has happened since then. It's kind of

1077
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:13.519
<v Speaker 4>amazing to think.

1078
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:16.119
<v Speaker 1>That it is for those of the for the listeners

1079
01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>out there who really never grew up or understood it.

1080
01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:21.960
<v Speaker 1>But to just describe how iconic was radio, I mean,

1081
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:24.519
<v Speaker 1>listen radio Marconi. It's been around for so long. But

1082
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean my Eraine Obvious film a few years older

1083
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>than you. You know, I grew up in the late seventies,

1084
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and the eighties, and I still live. I'm the eighties guy.

1085
01:01:33.039 --> 01:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>If you listen to my buck music. Eight music is

1086
01:01:35.880 --> 01:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so important to me. I say this, music really is

1087
01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:40.559
<v Speaker 1>the only thing that can take you back in time.

1088
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>You hear something and you remember, oh man, I remember

1089
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:45.639
<v Speaker 1>where I was. I was in high school, or that

1090
01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>was my first college loan, or the first time, you know,

1091
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm met my spouse, our first dance, whatever was. But

1092
01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:55.679
<v Speaker 1>going back to one oh one, there were anecdotally, just

1093
01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I know this because there are high schoolers, there was college.

1094
01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>There were growing up folks listening driving to work type

1095
01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:02.039
<v Speaker 1>of thing, and they would just sit there in their car,

1096
01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the parking lot, because there was a

1097
01:02:04.159 --> 01:02:07.559
<v Speaker 1>big going on. And you talk about personalities because radio

1098
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>is at least it was personality driven. You said Steven's

1099
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:15.239
<v Speaker 1>Impruit and it was a rock formatt and would you

1100
01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>say this was the start of the shock jock type

1101
01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>of air going back to those folks.

1102
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, I mean, because I want to start in seventy.

1103
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:25.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, it was really a progressive station with all

1104
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:27.599
<v Speaker 4>the kind of play whatever they wanted. Their Their playlist

1105
01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:31.480
<v Speaker 4>was wide from rock to foulk to jazz, with even

1106
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:34.079
<v Speaker 4>maybe a little bit of country thrown in there, kind

1107
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:38.360
<v Speaker 4>of the alt country maybe, and it developed into the

1108
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:42.199
<v Speaker 4>eighties into the rock station we kind of more know today.

1109
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:45.559
<v Speaker 4>But that, yes, that definitely included the shock jock element. Now,

1110
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Stevens and Brewitt were shot jogs. They had started that

1111
01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:51.800
<v Speaker 4>as Hudson Harri Again and Kilt back in the seventies.

1112
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:54.639
<v Speaker 4>And even if you listen to stuff back then, you

1113
01:02:54.760 --> 01:02:58.199
<v Speaker 4>really hear elements of the show that was on kl

1114
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:01.559
<v Speaker 4>Well maybe not quite as racy as it was, you

1115
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:05.519
<v Speaker 4>know back then. What definitely, as things became more extreme

1116
01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:07.480
<v Speaker 4>in the eighties, so did the radio, so did the

1117
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>shot Josh Howard stirred on the air.

1118
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>At that time.

1119
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:14.960
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, so I would say Steven Zubert were on

1120
01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:18.559
<v Speaker 4>the forefront of the shot jock world and continued writing

1121
01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:20.039
<v Speaker 4>that really until the end.

1122
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>Talking to Mike McGuffey is the director, producer in the

1123
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>brains behind the documentary. It is a movie that is

1124
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:31.079
<v Speaker 1>being screened this coun be Monday night, seven o'clock. It's

1125
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>at the newly reopened River Oaks Theater on West Gray.

1126
01:03:34.840 --> 01:03:36.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about how to get tickets. It might get

1127
01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:38.239
<v Speaker 1>those even more tickets because I know this is a

1128
01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a pretty big one. I know you've screened it

1129
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a few times. But the new River Oaks Theater is

1130
01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, is pretty cool. The how did you find

1131
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the video? I mean, how did you and talk about

1132
01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>some of the people that you interviewed in here, because

1133
01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>you're get some solid rock stars along with the people

1134
01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:55.519
<v Speaker 1>who played a part on air and off air.

1135
01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:58.239
<v Speaker 4>See right there, you just explained why it took me

1136
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:02.079
<v Speaker 4>fourteen years because trying to find the video, find the

1137
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:04.440
<v Speaker 4>images and talk to those rock stars. I mean, some

1138
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.559
<v Speaker 4>of the rock stars took six years to get. It

1139
01:04:07.639 --> 01:04:10.880
<v Speaker 4>is not easy to land a Sammy Hagar, you know,

1140
01:04:11.199 --> 01:04:14.320
<v Speaker 4>a Dusty Hill of zz Top who I think that

1141
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:20.159
<v Speaker 4>probably was his last video interview before he passed away unfortunately.

1142
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:23.719
<v Speaker 4>You know, we shot that in you know, February of

1143
01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:27.039
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty before the lockdown, and after that they went

1144
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:31.079
<v Speaker 4>on tour and he unfortunately died and so that's probably

1145
01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:33.199
<v Speaker 4>the last interview with them that I'm aware of, at

1146
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:34.519
<v Speaker 4>least on video.

1147
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:36.519
<v Speaker 3>But you know that was the.

1148
01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:39.800
<v Speaker 4>Hard part is trying to lock down the rock stars

1149
01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:41.480
<v Speaker 4>and not slock them.

1150
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:44.440
<v Speaker 3>But you know you have to be you know, hey,

1151
01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:47.719
<v Speaker 3>let's remember me are you willing to do an interview?

1152
01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:50.559
<v Speaker 4>And eventually maybe they'll give in, But then you have

1153
01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:52.679
<v Speaker 4>to work around a rock star schedule which is always

1154
01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:55.400
<v Speaker 4>on the road touring, so that makes it tough, but

1155
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:58.239
<v Speaker 4>it was well worth it, and just even sometimes trying

1156
01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:01.639
<v Speaker 4>to land interviews with the kale O All staff honestly

1157
01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:02.440
<v Speaker 4>was difficult.

1158
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:03.880
<v Speaker 3>You're in the making.

1159
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Without a deck and Mike McGuff over here. Now I'm

1160
01:05:08.039 --> 01:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna follow up and we'll kind of end on this

1161
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:12.199
<v Speaker 1>before we give out the information. If you know these

1162
01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:13.960
<v Speaker 1>screens and if no one's been to a screen, this

1163
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is more than a scritting. This is fun and I

1164
01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you asked me specifically if I could kind of

1165
01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>emc or host this, because you know, I had a

1166
01:05:20.199 --> 01:05:23.039
<v Speaker 1>little background towards the end of the Rock one oh

1167
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:25.519
<v Speaker 1>one era, and it was really fun to be able

1168
01:05:25.519 --> 01:05:27.239
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of it and say I was

1169
01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:29.239
<v Speaker 1>a part of it. But that was the greg O

1170
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Jim prewittt Also to be able to work with him,

1171
01:05:32.440 --> 01:05:36.119
<v Speaker 1>what a just an unbelievable nice guy, amazing guy. S Mark.

1172
01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I knew everything about radio voter Dana Steele, who I

1173
01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:41.679
<v Speaker 1>still keep in contact with. Who else will be there

1174
01:05:41.679 --> 01:05:43.239
<v Speaker 1>because I'm going to be entering a Q and A,

1175
01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:45.519
<v Speaker 1>so for all the fans who grew up listening to them,

1176
01:05:45.760 --> 01:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>they actually get to see them, to see what they

1177
01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>look like. Who all's going to be there this coming

1178
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Monday night.

1179
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:53.159
<v Speaker 3>It's actually going to be packed. The stage will be full.

1180
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Everyone wants to come out and do the River Roks

1181
01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Theater just because it it's iconic. I mean, you're gonna

1182
01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:04.760
<v Speaker 4>have Eddie the Boner, greg O pat Fant who signed

1183
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:07.920
<v Speaker 4>on the station, Doug Harris who was the promotions manager,

1184
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:11.559
<v Speaker 4>Dana Steele, as you mentioned, doctor Betty Halpern, who is

1185
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.760
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Betty from the Stevenson Brewet Show, a big part

1186
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:17.159
<v Speaker 4>of their advice section on there.

1187
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Landy Griffith, the traffic master, will be there.

1188
01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:25.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm probably leaving people out at this point because I'm

1189
01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:27.280
<v Speaker 4>trying to do this at the top of my head.

1190
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:30.199
<v Speaker 4>But yes, we have a solid lineup and we will

1191
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:32.159
<v Speaker 4>definitely be handing out prizes.

1192
01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean I have.

1193
01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:38.159
<v Speaker 4>Runaway radio documentary shirts, I have stickers, and we actually

1194
01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:42.280
<v Speaker 4>have another Kalol company of favorite radio shirts will be

1195
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.559
<v Speaker 4>there handing out free kal Lowel shirts. We try to

1196
01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:48.119
<v Speaker 4>turn it into as much of a rock concert as

1197
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:50.880
<v Speaker 4>you can in a movie theater. So it's kind of

1198
01:06:50.920 --> 01:06:53.360
<v Speaker 4>like those old giveaways where kaloys to show up and

1199
01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:54.199
<v Speaker 4>hand stuff out.

1200
01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:56.559
<v Speaker 3>We're doing the exact same thing. We want to keep

1201
01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:57.920
<v Speaker 3>it a fun atmosphere.

1202
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to buy tickets if they're because it's interesting,

1203
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:02.239
<v Speaker 1>because you know you can. You go on to buy

1204
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.199
<v Speaker 1>tickets and there they're like twelve or thirteen dollars or

1205
01:07:04.199 --> 01:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>something like that, but you have to get an a

1206
01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>signed seat. I checked a few days ago and it

1207
01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>was running low. But if people want to get a ticket,

1208
01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>they need to act like asap. Where can they find

1209
01:07:12.760 --> 01:07:13.159
<v Speaker 1>the info?

1210
01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:17.719
<v Speaker 4>Rock one oh one movie dot com is the website,

1211
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.079
<v Speaker 4>and that is going to have multiple leaks to that

1212
01:07:20.199 --> 01:07:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Riveroke screening at set.

1213
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:23.039
<v Speaker 3>You log and you can just scroll down.

1214
01:07:23.079 --> 01:07:27.519
<v Speaker 4>You're going to see how to buy the ticketscke.

1217
01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>worked with and also listened to you before I started

1218
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:40.119
<v Speaker 1>working in radio. They got so many stories and I

1219
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>can imagine it's pubably gonna be uncensored when I get

1220
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>that microphone at the end because you know it's the

1221
01:07:46.280 --> 01:07:48.679
<v Speaker 1>FCC cannot tell us what to talk about, what not

1222
01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:52.119
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. Uh, but your kudos without a doubt.

1223
01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I hope there's gonna be a lot of photos, bring

1241
01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>actually interested to see also the new River Oaks the

1242
01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:57.319
<v Speaker 1>AA they did apparently they've done a great job of

1243
01:08:57.399 --> 01:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>restoring that historic there we in Houston Theater. And so

1244

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be fun Monday night reliving and recounting all

1245
01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of the crazy stories man that we probably can't say

1246
01:09:09.640 --> 01:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>on air, of all those Rock one oh one ers back.

1247
01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:12.840
<v Speaker 4>In the day.

1248
01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what are the things to do before we

1249
01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>wrap up over here? I got some emails over here,

1250
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and Michael, I know you traveled internationally this past summer.

1251
01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Did you have any tracking devices that you put inside

1252
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>your suitcases? Because I'm getting ready to travel and I

1253
01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:29.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to lose my suitcases because I hate the airlines.

1254
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay that's from Jeanette. Oh okay, Jeanette, let's just air

1255
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it out over here. Yeah, I actually did. You're talking

1256
01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>about the air tags and the Samsung smart tags. Yeah.

1257
01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>I actually do have a few of those that are

1258
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:48.479
<v Speaker 1>that are pretty cool. My luggage luckily was not lost,

1259
01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:51.039
<v Speaker 1>but you can put these anywhere. And I guess the

1260
01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:54.119
<v Speaker 1>question is, I don't know if you want a specific brand,

1261
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean air tag. If you're an Apple person, yeah,

1262
01:09:56.119 --> 01:09:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna go bite your Apple AirTags what these are there?

1263
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Blue tooth trackers. They're the size of a keychain, and

1264
01:10:03.880 --> 01:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you put them actually on your keychain. You could put

1265
01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>them inside your luggage. You could put them in your

1266
01:10:07.720 --> 01:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>purse and a backpack. You could put them in a

1267
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>car and track people driving in cars. I'm not going

1268
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to give you crazy ideas about that, but they're out

1269
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>there and there are a number of them. Samsung makes

1270
01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:24.279
<v Speaker 1>one job. There's one called Chipole just not Chipotle, it's

1271
01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Chipolo c Chipolo. I saw those guys in Berlin when

1272
01:10:30.560 --> 01:10:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I went to Berlin at IFA, a big technology conference.

1273
01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's what The original one, I think was a

1274
01:10:37.800 --> 01:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>company called Tile. They were one of the first ones.

1275
01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Anybody remember that Ti l e. They were one of

1276
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the first Bluetooth tracking tags. They actually just came out

1277
01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>with several new products. By the way, they just bought

1278
01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the company just bought Life three sixty. Anybody have that app.

1279
01:10:57.279 --> 01:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I used to have that app when I used to

1280
01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>track my son with his knowledge in college, just to

1281
01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure it really was if he loses his phone,

1282
01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I knew where the phone was. Type of thing. A

1283
01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:10.319
<v Speaker 1>lot of families use it, and I think it's good

1284
01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to use it for for families and kids, so you

1285
01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:17.079
<v Speaker 1>know where you are. But Tyle has a few new

1286
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>ones and they're really tip they're they're pretty inexpensive over here.

1287
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:25.479
<v Speaker 1>One is called the tile Mate twenty five dollars. This

1288
01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>has a three hundred and fifty foot range, so if

1289
01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you place your car keys around your house or something

1290
01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>like that, you can go to an app on your

1291
01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>phone and make it ring and buzz and track it

1292
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:42.039
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. There's a tile Pro a little bit more expensive,

1293
01:11:42.039 --> 01:11:47.119
<v Speaker 1>thirty five dollars, five hundred foot range. There's one that

1294
01:11:47.159 --> 01:11:49.119
<v Speaker 1>you can put into your wallet. It's like it looks

1295
01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:52.279
<v Speaker 1>like a credit card, and somebody and Chippolo has one

1296
01:11:52.319 --> 01:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of these. Two you go, it's like a credit card.

1297
01:11:54.479 --> 01:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to lose your wallet. It's called the

1298
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:00.279
<v Speaker 1>tile Slim. It's about a three hundred and fifty foot range.

1299
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:03.680
<v Speaker 1>And then there's one that's a sticker I think tiles

1300
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>come out. It's called the tile Sticker, and it's small

1301
01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:09.159
<v Speaker 1>enough to stick on something like a remote control, because

1302
01:12:09.800 --> 01:12:12.840
<v Speaker 1>nobody loses a remote control. Right, three hundred and fifty

1303
01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:17.399
<v Speaker 1>foot range. You have to keep in mind these ranges

1304
01:12:17.399 --> 01:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>are based on Bluetooth and what you're gonna do. You're

1305
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:25.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna rely on tiles finding network when your phone is

1306
01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:28.479
<v Speaker 1>not near these tags. It works like this, and that's

1307
01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>actually the big difference between Tile and the Apple and

1308
01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the Android Tile. The company has its own tracking network

1309
01:12:36.239 --> 01:12:42.239
<v Speaker 1>on seventy million customers that's running the Life three sixty

1310
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.279
<v Speaker 1>app or the Tile app. So to me, it was

1311
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:48.079
<v Speaker 1>a pretty smart acquisition for like for Tile going after

1312
01:12:48.159 --> 01:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Life three sixty because a lot of people have that app.

1313
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>But what I like about it it's cross platform, so

1314
01:12:55.439 --> 01:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>your trackers are going to work no matter what combination

1315
01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:00.479
<v Speaker 1>of phones your family has. Doesn't matter, if your Apple,

1316
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:04.319
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter, if you're Android, Ebity and Ivory. I don't know.

1317
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I've got an Apple to get I've got I've got

1318
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>my my Google Android, and I most my two or

1319
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:15.520
<v Speaker 1>three of my kids they have their iPhones. But if

1320
01:13:15.560 --> 01:13:17.479
<v Speaker 1>you lose it, no matter what are, it's going to

1321
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:20.600
<v Speaker 1>find something within three hundred three hundred feet of Bluetooth

1322
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever and it'll signal where your bag, where you're whatever

1323
01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you're you're trying to track is on. It's pretty cool

1324
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:33.399
<v Speaker 1>like that. So yes, I do recommend these for your

1325
01:13:33.560 --> 01:13:37.560
<v Speaker 1>own safety if you're prone to losing things. Uh, these

1326
01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>could be good stocking stuffers because they're not expensive at all.

1327
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. One of the things that you know, the

1328
01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>people are very aware of that because people can track you

1329
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:52.119
<v Speaker 1>where you don't want them tracking you. You know how

1330
01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>many have heard the stories of oh, well, my smiuse

1331
01:13:55.960 --> 01:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>has put one of these Apple air tags in my

1332
01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:01.479
<v Speaker 1>car h or on my license plate behind and you

1333
01:14:01.479 --> 01:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's on there. You actually, with Apple and

1334
01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:08.560
<v Speaker 1>with the Samsungs, you can scan your surroundings to see

1335
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>if there's a rogue tracker. There's a way to do

1336
01:14:11.680 --> 01:14:15.039
<v Speaker 1>it for Tile. It's it's a kind of convoluted, but

1337
01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:17.399
<v Speaker 1>that's there too. If for some reason you think you're

1338
01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>being followed, you think someone's tracking you. Yeah, you actually

1339
01:14:19.720 --> 01:14:22.359
<v Speaker 1>just go do a Google search for how do I

1340
01:14:22.479 --> 01:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>find out if I'm being tracked by an Apple air attack.

1341
01:14:25.199 --> 01:14:27.399
<v Speaker 1>It's it's these things are scary, but you know, I

1342
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:30.119
<v Speaker 1>again naive Michael Garfield, That's what I do. I just

1345
01:14:35.439 --> 01:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>your keys, you're forgetful. These things are not that expensive
