I have to fill up the in 19 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.600 the thing with a cup of water every. 20 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.479 Time, right right, every time? 21 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.119 Every time it doesn't have the canister in the back 22 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.880 that holes you know, four or six whatever version of 23 00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:59.200 this is. Every time. 24 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.960 Oh man, we've got one at the uh the super 25 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.519 sale bin store and we've talked about them before. I 26 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.480 don't know if you've been yet, but we got one 27 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.680 for fifteen dollars that had the big reservoir in the 28 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.400 back and the whole bit, and uh brought it home 29 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.400 and then Gloria took it to work so it's used 30 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.079 there because they didn't have one. And then once you know, 31 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.560 the big currig we had that had a pot with 32 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.079 it so you can make a pot of coffee. And 33 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.840 then you had the K cup so you can make 34 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:31.040 the CA cup version it had the big reservoir. It died. 35 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.599 It finally just died. It was making a weird sound 36 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.640 like a jet engine. So we went to h We 37 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.680 went to go to wally World and bought one for 38 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.120 fifty five bucks. But at least it'll hold enough water 39 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.120 for three cake three K cups. It's you know, but 40 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.159 if you have to replace it every time. 41 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.359 Yeah, one day, you know, one day I'll graduate up 42 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.719 to something else. I did invest in that little basket 43 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:55.920 that goes in where you can put in coffee. Oh yeah, yeah, 44 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.760 I got one of those. 45 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.079 Oh that's good. Then that's good. Got to make your 46 00:01:59.079 --> 00:01:59.920 own because that's. 47 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.079 Not getting there. I'm getting a little step at the time. 48 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.719 Uh, that's why we used to like doing the show 49 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.039 years ago. Those they may remember that we did the 50 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.560 actually show from Roadrunner Coffee Remember that, Yeah, Yeah, it 51 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:14.319 was a lot of fun. 52 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.000 Yeah, waitress over the days, man, a lot of the days. 53 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.039 Yes, a slick on coffee is always great. 54 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.520 Are you still going to the bin store that that 55 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:24.360 you've been talking about? 56 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.800 Hey, you know, it's been a little while. The last 57 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.639 time I went there, I ended up buying a microphone, 58 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.479 the fuf Fine microphone that I showed on TV, the 59 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:34.280 RGB one. 60 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.840 How is that, Mike? Have you usually what's the sound quality? 61 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.680 I'll tell you. We got the Logitar Logitech ORB, which 62 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.960 I like. Logitechniques great products, and then we got the 63 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.199 fuf Fine and I put him next to each other. Now, 64 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.599 the Fine microphone is UH connects. There's a USBC connector 65 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.840 on the bottom of it connects via USB a UH 66 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.319 and it's RGB so it gets its power and does RGB. 67 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.960 So if you're on Twitch, you're if you're you know, 68 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.400 doing an Instagram reel, it's gonna look good. And I thought, well, 69 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.599 let's let's compare both of them and see the sound quality. 70 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.960 Now you'll remind you the Logitech orb is a run 71 00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.439 around one hundred bucks, one hundred dollars, one hundred and 72 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.879 twenty dollars microphone. It's small, round cube, it's very nice. 73 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:20.520 Uh. 74 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.159 And then the fine runs about fifty five bucks. They 75 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.879 sounded almost the same. 76 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.879 That's what scared me. I was afraid that would be 77 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:30.439 the judgment. 78 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.759 They sounded almost the same, to the point where if 79 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.120 I was using the fora fine, I would be fine 80 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:41.400 with using that in a podcast situation or you know, 81 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.560 I obviously wouldn't do it for you know, professional radio 82 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.800 or professional commercial production, but for for a zoom it 83 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.280 would be great. It would be it would work. 84 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.080 Heaven forbid your your peercu using a fifty five dollars microproblem. 85 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.840 Well, I thought it was funny. So when I worked 86 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.840 for I worked for a big organization called Westwood One, 87 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.520 and I was doing radio broadcasters across the country. I 88 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.039 would leave here the radio station KEGVY in the morning, 89 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.759 I would go home and then I would record for 90 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.959 stations in Pittsburgh and I would do stations in one 91 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.199 I really love the station in Florida, Johnny owen Is 92 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.399 station WOMP FM. I would do those, and I had 93 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.199 about from what I understand, I think it was like 94 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.680 seventy maybe seventy five stations that I would do and 95 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.160 I would just do it right here in the studio 96 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.600 that I'm in right now. And the thing is, they 97 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.920 sent me an SM fifty eight when we were doing 98 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.800 doing it from home, you know, because I would go normally, 99 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.040 I would go into the radio station that's part of 100 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.040 that organization, and I would do it there. And they 101 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.759 had the RI twenties or RI twenty seven's microphones, which 102 00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:55.519 are pretty good. But they sent me an SM fifty eight, 103 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.439 and I thought, this is like the workhorse microphone that 104 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.040 you'll see the mobile DJs use. You'll see public address used, 105 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.199 not really for broadcasting. So I ended up hooking on 106 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.319 my SM seven B and I use that and it worked. 107 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.319 It worked out good. But yeah, I mean the the 108 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.439 f fine microphone. And again I saw two or three 109 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.959 of those over at the super sale bin store. They 110 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.519 worked pretty good. I found a lot of stuff there, Slick. 111 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.839 I have found microphone arms. I have found ring lights. 112 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:28.920 I mean, we're the ones for the table. You both 113 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.360 to the table and okay. 114 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.079 Yeah, you got a little clamp. See clamp. You go 115 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:34.639 ahead and clamp it right to the table. I found 116 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.040 ring lights, you know, not the the the big lull 117 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.199 ring lights that I have, but I mean all kinds 118 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.120 of stuff. Tablets. 119 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:44.680 Uh. 120 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.560 The tablet was kind of slow, but I gave it 121 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.879 to my grandkid, so you know, go ahead and have 122 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.399 fun with it. You'll break another one. It's like. 123 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.759 When you say ring light, that's the one that I've 124 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.040 seen people, what do I want to call them? They're 125 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.560 doing the lifestyle thing with the phone all the time. 126 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.199 They're always on the phone. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, shows 127 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.160 one he's got. It's a circle light everyone, and he 128 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.920 puts his there's a stand in the middle of it. 129 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.319 That's where he puts his phone. 130 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.720 Yeah, And I mean it puts out pretty good light 131 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.000 and it just gives you an overall fill type of 132 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.800 light situation which looks good. Logitech has a light that 133 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.439 I absolutely love that's on a stand and instead of 134 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.279 it being a ring, it's a bar and it's a 135 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.519 fluorescent bar light, and it just it looks really good 136 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.800 and it gives you a good fill from either side, 137 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.399 whereas the ring is kind of centered and you get 138 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.279 that ring look in the on the eyeballs. If you've 139 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.639 ever watched somebody in our creator that does videos. So 140 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:42.560 it's okay. 141 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.040 You know, I'm afraid to ask, what are you using 142 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.680 your ring light for? Andy? 143 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.399 You know what, I've used it twice for videos for 144 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.560 like you know, for conference call videos. 145 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.279 Just asking that I used to use all different things, 146 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:58.000 that's all I'm saying. 147 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.839 Yeah, I don't have an only fans all right, So no. 148 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.800 You know what, as crazy as it sounds, I know 149 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.560 how this gon say, but I'm thinking about getting one 150 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.560 just because of the web address, just because you know, 151 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.079 just because of the earl, the universal resources. 152 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.199 It would belong to you, everybody gets. 153 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:14.720 You know that. 154 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.120 It's funny because we used to recommend that back when 155 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879 you know, the web was really beginning. I mean, you know, 156 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.920 back when we were in Palm Springs doing the show, 157 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:25.920 and even you know, the early days with U Slick, 158 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.600 we would talk about domains and we would say grab them, 159 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.600 get every domain you can if you but you know, 160 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.600 the cost of domains has gone up, so you're gonna 161 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.000 find that, you know. But remember the companies like go Daddy, 162 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.680 Host Kater, some of the companies out there that that 163 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.120 sell domains, they'll sell you a domain, but they're gonna 164 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.879 try and get it to you for five years. You 165 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.480 can purchase a year and go year to year. 166 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:52.839 Oh I didn't know that. 167 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.279 Yeah, and I have done this before where I have 168 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.199 watched a television show like King of Queens where they 169 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.800 not they mentioned a web domain. I went online and looked, 170 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.480 and nobody owned the domain. I'm thinking that's free advertising, 171 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.279 And of course I bought the domain. I owned it 172 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.920 for a little while and then I thought this is stupid. 173 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:15.720 I got rid of it. 174 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.319 Yeah, you didn't make a profit on it. 175 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:22.600 One I remember, not long ago there was Ann Wilson 176 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.759 for President. Now, for those of you who know who 177 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.120 Ann Wilson is, she is a member of the group 178 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.759 Heart and back in the last election they she had 179 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.679 put out shirts where somebody had put out shirts and 180 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.679 Wilson for President with their photo on that. So I 181 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.200 went and looked and sure enough, Ann Wilson for President 182 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.519 dot com was totally available, and so I bought it. 183 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.639 But I, you know, me being mister knisky, I ended 184 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.960 appointing it to her official official domain. I don't think 185 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.240 it's pointing. I don't think it's pointing anymore, but I 186 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.960 still own the domain, but. 187 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.840 You didn't get any credit for it because I did 188 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.720 the same thing kind of some with some social media accounts. 189 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.200 Gretchen Wilson, who hangs out with Big and Rich and 190 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:11.080 remember that music mafia. She started her own label and 191 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.799 I don't I'm trying to remember what it is. And 192 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:13.840 I because I still. 193 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.639 Might might have her own record label, right, yeah, record label. 194 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:21.240 So I grabbed for you know, the Twitter at the time, 195 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:26.360 that Twitter and Facebook and others. I grabbed the the 196 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.639 name all those on those services for her. And I 197 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.360 was holding it because I wanted to get it to her. 198 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.519 But I never did get it to her, and I 199 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.720 think her label folded anyway. I wanted to gran and 200 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.000 and it's really because I have a thing for Gretchen Wilson. 201 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.799 You were hoping this would be the gateway to meet her, 202 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.120 you know, to offer up the domain. Yeah. 203 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.039 Actually, and Rich once when they came to Tucson here 204 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.799 and I told I told Kitty, I said, you got. 205 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.759 Kenny could have done it. Yeah, yes, never happened. 206 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:01.840 No, I didn't. 207 00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.960 Uh man, what a shame. But you know that that's 208 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:06.799 the thing though, It makes you wonder. Okay, so we 209 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.039 do we have all the gamut of domains for tech 210 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.600 Talk radio. Of course, when we purchased the dobain over 211 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.840 gosh over ten years ago, it was in Pump Springs. 212 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.320 There was a gentleman that had tech talk dot com 213 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.720 and nice guy uh. As a matter of fact, we 214 00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.799 we kind of went back and forth, and I believe 215 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.639 he still may even own that domain, not sure. But 216 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.080 then when we decided, okay, well let's go in the 217 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.519 radio direction for it, we went ahead and did that. 218 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.960 But of course we had to get all of them. 219 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.960 We got biz gov oh yeah, yeah, dot org, well 220 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.879 we didn't get gov, we got dot org, we got 221 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.240 you know, dot net, the whole bit, and we've been playing. 222 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:49.240 It's nice because when you buy a website generally, or 223 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.240 when you get your hosting at least uh. We used 224 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.559 to be with go Daddy, we were with Innerland before that, 225 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.159 and then we're we're with the different domain company. Now 226 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.000 you can buy a plan that will allow you to 227 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000 put sub domains in there. So what that means is, say, 228 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.960 like even somebody listening here in Green Valley, you know 229 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:11.279 Green Valley Bingo Club, so you have you know, Green 230 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:13.960 Valley Bingo Club, and then you have you know Bingo 231 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:17.440 Winners as a sub domain or the Green Valley b 232 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.240 G or BC. So again you can have different variations 233 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.399 of that domain name to all point to a domain 234 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:30.000 or even a different website for that organization or that club. 235 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.600 And the thing is is that all goes into one 236 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.200 hosting plan and depending on the plan you get, you know, 237 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.840 generally they're gonna cost you about three four five hundred 238 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.679 dollars a year, depending on which company are with, what 239 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.240 services you have with that, you know, you have backup services, 240 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:49.159 the whole bit. We used to recommend that we get 241 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.240 all the domains you can, you know, why not, But 242 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:57.879 now things are different. People are not buying websites. You 243 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.279 can even go to websites, and you know, you go 244 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.159 to these companies and say, yeah, the website's not that 245 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.120 important to us. What's important is social media. 246 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.519 I guess. I mean, I like social media, but sometimes 247 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.960 it just you know, and I tried to You're the 248 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.159 one that got me really into because this was back 249 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.399 in the days of MySpace. Oh you know, I was 250 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.879 on I was on a radio station and a list 251 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.399 of called and said, what's your MySpace? And I said, 252 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.759 I don't. I don't have one. Yeah, you don't have one. 253 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.600 You gotta get a MySpace. I got to MySpace. As 254 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.200 we move forward in time, Andy, I told this story 255 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.960 before Andy tells me, oh, you got to get on Facebook. 256 00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.759 Everybody's on Facebook. All of our peers are on Facebook. 257 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.720 You gotta all right, Andy, So I get on Facebook, right, 258 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:46.279 And he was right, he was right. But the networking purposes. 259 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.320 I don't think we had an idea that MySpace was 260 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.000 going to meld into to Facebook and Facebook was going 261 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.320 to be the big, the big daddy of it all. 262 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.080 It seemed like MySpace had it all. But then when 263 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.399 you looked at you know how many connections you were 264 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.480 making on on Facebook and there you know there are 265 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:05.679 people who have been on Facebook that have left Facebook instead. 266 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.440 I'm never going back on there again. There are problems 267 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.000 still with Facebook, no matter no matter how you look 268 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.519 at it. You know, you may report a fake account, 269 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.679 you may report content that you should not be on there, 270 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.120 and you're gonna get nothing from the company. They're just 271 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.200 not going to do anything. 272 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.320 I don't know if you and if this has happened 273 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.639 to you, but to me and other of our radio brethren, 274 00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:31.480 we were locked out of our accounts be cause they 275 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.960 didn't like the names we were using. 276 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.279 Yeah, oh you're not using a real name. Yes, It's like, 277 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.320 how can you be called slick? Yeah? 278 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.360 Yeah, I'm like, I'm not using my birth name. I'm 279 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.039 using my nickname as my nickname is what everybody calls me. 280 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.039 Yeah, And that was a big problem for a lot 281 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:49.799 of people in radio, and some celebrities were able to 282 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.679 get around that with you know, their agents getting the 283 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.919 accounts like on LinkedIn even you know, because you're supposed 284 00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.840 to use your one hundred percent real name, and a 285 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.639 lot of people in radio, I know a lot of people, 286 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.159 you know, they they don't they don't use the real name. 287 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.679 I mean I went to broadcasting school with a guy 288 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.559 whose last name was callis Vart He changed it to Michael's. 289 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.000 Oh that makes sense, but. 290 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:17.120 I mean that's that's exactly the whole. And then people 291 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.320 couldn't get verified. You could get there's so many things 292 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.039 to go through to try and get that, and you know, 293 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.600 no matter what X does or Twitter or Facebook, you know, 294 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.120 and then you've got other social media now, and you know, 295 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.279 it's funny you look at the ages of people on Facebook. 296 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:34.240 It is rare. 297 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.759 Well, I'm not gonna say rare, but you don't see 298 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.320 as many of the under twenty year olds on Facebook 299 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:44.240 as we saw maybe ten years ago. Yeah, they're all 300 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:49.159 on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and some of the other the 301 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.559 other services that are out there. 302 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.440 And I kind of get that. I mean, there was 303 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.080 a time and it was years ago, even when the 304 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.080 reports were coming in that you know, Facebook is for 305 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.120 old people. Okay, you know I get it because we 306 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:01.759 we were on there and we were sticking with it. 307 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.360 I get it. 308 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.799 There was even a book do you remember that we 309 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.799 had the authors on Facebook for seniors. 310 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:06.440 Yeah. 311 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.480 Yeah. 312 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.120 And then so you know, eventually I did get the 313 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.039 because of the Twitter I started. I get on Twitter 314 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.440 because I need for the shortness of it, you know, 315 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.360 I felt like I could just send out some short messages. 316 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.360 Instagram I finally got on. Now here's the here's where 317 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.440 you and I have diverged in the past and probably 318 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:31.000 still currently. So Snapchat, I don't see the need or 319 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:34.360 want or I don't get it. Don't get Snapchat. 320 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:40.039 Yeah, it's uh, it's really interesting how Snapchat works. And 321 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.240 there are a lot of people that are actually now 322 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.240 getting a little older now they're in their their twenties 323 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.240 to thirties even early forties that are getting on Snapchat 324 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.360 and then they will follow and they will you know, 325 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.519 follow content. So again does that translate? So the whole 326 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.519 purpose is so you got a website or you've got 327 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:05.919 a product, you've got a service? Is that that that 328 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.679 that link creating content or creating a flow of business 329 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.080 for you the client? You just having fun, you know. 330 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.360 I mean you saw the ad this past week, which 331 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.039 actually kind of surprised me. I didn't know they were 332 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.360 going to do this. If you remember last week on 333 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.399 the show, we were Grace with Alison Gaciola, who is 334 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.360 the new manager for the upcoming opening for Cursel and 335 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:33.919 they're going to be opening at the two soon Mall 336 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.759 and her people. The PR People is a company they 337 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.840 have obviously it's not done out of the local store. 338 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.279 They're the ones that reached out to and I wanted 339 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.639 to talk about the grand opening. They had sent me 340 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.440 the photo of Alison and I took the text and 341 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.320 I put it on the photo and I use it 342 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.480 and I explained you if they said on every interview 343 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:58.399 we do on our website, we or the radio show, 344 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.639 we like to have a picture of that person we're 345 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.319 talking to. It's more personal, you know, whether it's uh, 346 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.640 Bill Gates, you put a photo of them up there, 347 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.079 or or Allison put a photo of her. So we did. 348 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.200 They were happy that they they did that. When you know, 349 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.680 the next day, I started seeing ads using that link 350 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:22.039 and it wasn't linking to the audio only it linked 351 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.880 right to our website, to tech talk Radio, and they 352 00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:29.039 said listen to the discussion with Alison. And I'm still 353 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.519 seeing it. I've seen it on reels, I've seen it 354 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.000 on Snapchat, I've seen it on Facebook, you know, And 355 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.079 and I like that because that shows they have they 356 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.640 have a service or a product, their new store. They 357 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.039 want to get the word out about it, so they're 358 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.720 sharing with people. Hey, come to listen to tech Talk Radio. 359 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.519 You'll hear this interview, and hopefully it'll get us some 360 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.279 people who will listen to the show on a regular basis. 361 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.759 Yeah, thank you. 362 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.480 Yeah. 363 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.400 Are you on TikTok? 364 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.279 Yes, I am, and I am not. I'm just you know, 365 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.920 it's funny. We've talked about the problems with TikTok and 366 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.799 the information that's being shared, and I will not be 367 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.319 on it for a while, and then I'll I've got 368 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:13.160 it on my device.

You shouldn't 369 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.039 even have it in your device, and I'll open it up. 370 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.000 And my cousin actually know, she's my niece. She's on 371 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.319 it quite a bit and I like watching summer videos 372 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:23.960 that she posts. And my daughters are on it. So 373 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.519 you know, I can like, I can, I can like things, 374 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.799 and once in a while I'll post something on there. 375 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.720 But there are some people that say they won't they 376 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.480 will not get on TikTok for that same reason I 377 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.119 won't shop at Timu. Maybe that's the next step, but 378 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.000 I I don't mind TikTok as much. 379 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.880 Yeah, I even tried to do I guess a lot 380 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.880 of a lot of things I do offline and then 381 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.119 try to make them available online. So there was a time, 382 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.359 and it's still kind of technically that is the case. 383 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.000 I don't have a cell phone service, don't pay for it. 384 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.000 And I lost my Lifeline service, which was the free 385 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.960 one that you know if you if you're poor, you 386 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.160 can get that service. Well that went away. So then 387 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.119 I wasn't online until I had access to Wi Fi. 388 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:05.920 So there was something interesting I can't remember. I wish 389 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:07.720 I could remember what it was I could tell you everybody, 390 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.559 but I wanted to take a video. I wanted to 391 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.960 record a video and share it with everyone because it 392 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.680 was kind of interesting, not necessarily funny, but you'd be like, 393 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:21.720 really those videos, and through the apps on my devices, 394 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.559 I could not while offline record a video. I tried Instagram, 395 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.240 I tried Facebook. I would have to use the camera 396 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.400 function of the device, record the video and then upload it. 397 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.240 I was under the impression these apps and services had 398 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.920 set it up so you could just right through their 399 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.559 interface record the video. 400 00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.000 Yeah, but it didn't let you record it on the 401 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.279
