Speaker 1: The following program is produced by the tech Talk Radio Network.
Speaker 2: All right, people, take out your notebooks and pencils and
Speaker 2: slide rolls. You're listen to the tech Talk Radio with
Speaker 2: true geeks and by the way, Eastsider and I'm a
Speaker 2: geek too.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor.
Speaker 3: And I am slick.
Speaker 1: And it is good to see. It's like old times, buddy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been away. Yeah, I've been busy. I've been
Speaker 3: trying to solve the world's problems. I've been trying to
Speaker 3: make a cup of coffee.
Speaker 1: I just thought about that before we said down. He's like,
Speaker 1: I need a cup of coffee. Is it brewing?
Speaker 3: At least it's well it should be. You know. I
Speaker 3: finally got me one of those cheap old uh uh
Speaker 3: the pod thing. What is it they curry the curate.
Speaker 3: They got one of those, but I mean it's the
Speaker 3: cheapy one though. I have to fill up the in
Speaker 3: the thing with a cup of water every.
Speaker 1: Time, right right, every time?
Speaker 3: Every time it doesn't have the canister in the back
Speaker 3: that holes you know, four or six whatever version of
Speaker 3: this is. Every time.
Speaker 1: Oh man, we've got one at the uh the super
Speaker 1: sale bin store and we've talked about them before. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've been yet, but we got one
Speaker 1: for fifteen dollars that had the big reservoir in the
Speaker 1: back and the whole bit, and uh brought it home
Speaker 1: and then Gloria took it to work so it's used
Speaker 1: there because they didn't have one. And then once you know,
Speaker 1: the big currig we had that had a pot with
Speaker 1: it so you can make a pot of coffee. And
Speaker 1: then you had the K cup so you can make
Speaker 1: the CA cup version it had the big reservoir. It died.
Speaker 1: It finally just died. It was making a weird sound
Speaker 1: like a jet engine. So we went to h We
Speaker 1: went to go to wally World and bought one for
Speaker 1: fifty five bucks. But at least it'll hold enough water
Speaker 1: for three cake three K cups. It's you know, but
Speaker 1: if you have to replace it every time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one day, you know, one day I'll graduate up
Speaker 3: to something else. I did invest in that little basket
Speaker 3: that goes in where you can put in coffee. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I got one of those.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. Then that's good. Got to make your
Speaker 1: own because that's.
Speaker 3: Not getting there. I'm getting a little step at the time.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's why we used to like doing the show
Speaker 1: years ago. Those they may remember that we did the
Speaker 1: actually show from Roadrunner Coffee Remember that, Yeah, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, waitress over the days, man, a lot of the days.
Speaker 1: Yes, a slick on coffee is always great.
Speaker 3: Are you still going to the bin store that that
Speaker 3: you've been talking about?
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, it's been a little while. The last
Speaker 1: time I went there, I ended up buying a microphone,
Speaker 1: the fuf Fine microphone that I showed on TV, the
Speaker 1: RGB one.
Speaker 3: How is that, Mike? Have you usually what's the sound quality?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. We got the Logitar Logitech ORB, which
Speaker 1: I like. Logitechniques great products, and then we got the
Speaker 1: fuf Fine and I put him next to each other. Now,
Speaker 1: the Fine microphone is UH connects. There's a USBC connector
Speaker 1: on the bottom of it connects via USB a UH
Speaker 1: and it's RGB so it gets its power and does RGB.
Speaker 1: So if you're on Twitch, you're if you're you know,
Speaker 1: doing an Instagram reel, it's gonna look good. And I thought, well,
Speaker 1: let's let's compare both of them and see the sound quality.
Speaker 1: Now you'll remind you the Logitech orb is a run
Speaker 1: around one hundred bucks, one hundred dollars, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty dollars microphone. It's small, round cube, it's very nice.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then the fine runs about fifty five bucks. They
Speaker 1: sounded almost the same.
Speaker 3: That's what scared me. I was afraid that would be
Speaker 3: the judgment.
Speaker 1: They sounded almost the same, to the point where if
Speaker 1: I was using the fora fine, I would be fine
Speaker 1: with using that in a podcast situation or you know,
Speaker 1: I obviously wouldn't do it for you know, professional radio
Speaker 1: or professional commercial production, but for for a zoom it
Speaker 1: would be great. It would be it would work.
Speaker 3: Heaven forbid your your peercu using a fifty five dollars microproblem.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought it was funny. So when I worked
Speaker 1: for I worked for a big organization called Westwood One,
Speaker 1: and I was doing radio broadcasters across the country. I
Speaker 1: would leave here the radio station KEGVY in the morning,
Speaker 1: I would go home and then I would record for
Speaker 1: stations in Pittsburgh and I would do stations in one
Speaker 1: I really love the station in Florida, Johnny owen Is
Speaker 1: station WOMP FM. I would do those, and I had
Speaker 1: about from what I understand, I think it was like
Speaker 1: seventy maybe seventy five stations that I would do and
Speaker 1: I would just do it right here in the studio
Speaker 1: that I'm in right now. And the thing is, they
Speaker 1: sent me an SM fifty eight when we were doing
Speaker 1: doing it from home, you know, because I would go normally,
Speaker 1: I would go into the radio station that's part of
Speaker 1: that organization, and I would do it there. And they
Speaker 1: had the RI twenties or RI twenty seven's microphones, which
Speaker 1: are pretty good. But they sent me an SM fifty eight,
Speaker 1: and I thought, this is like the workhorse microphone that
Speaker 1: you'll see the mobile DJs use. You'll see public address used,
Speaker 1: not really for broadcasting. So I ended up hooking on
Speaker 1: my SM seven B and I use that and it worked.
Speaker 1: It worked out good. But yeah, I mean the the
Speaker 1: f fine microphone. And again I saw two or three
Speaker 1: of those over at the super sale bin store. They
Speaker 1: worked pretty good. I found a lot of stuff there, Slick.
Speaker 1: I have found microphone arms. I have found ring lights.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're the ones for the table. You both
Speaker 3: to the table and okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a little clamp. See clamp. You go
Speaker 1: ahead and clamp it right to the table. I found
Speaker 1: ring lights, you know, not the the the big lull
Speaker 1: ring lights that I have, but I mean all kinds
Speaker 1: of stuff. Tablets.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The tablet was kind of slow, but I gave it
Speaker 1: to my grandkid, so you know, go ahead and have
Speaker 1: fun with it. You'll break another one. It's like.
Speaker 3: When you say ring light, that's the one that I've
Speaker 3: seen people, what do I want to call them? They're
Speaker 3: doing the lifestyle thing with the phone all the time.
Speaker 3: They're always on the phone. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, shows
Speaker 3: one he's got. It's a circle light everyone, and he
Speaker 3: puts his there's a stand in the middle of it.
Speaker 3: That's where he puts his phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean it puts out pretty good light
Speaker 1: and it just gives you an overall fill type of
Speaker 1: light situation which looks good. Logitech has a light that
Speaker 1: I absolutely love that's on a stand and instead of
Speaker 1: it being a ring, it's a bar and it's a
Speaker 1: fluorescent bar light, and it just it looks really good
Speaker 1: and it gives you a good fill from either side,
Speaker 1: whereas the ring is kind of centered and you get
Speaker 1: that ring look in the on the eyeballs. If you've
Speaker 1: ever watched somebody in our creator that does videos. So
Speaker 1: it's okay.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm afraid to ask, what are you using
Speaker 3: your ring light for? Andy?
Speaker 1: You know what, I've used it twice for videos for
Speaker 1: like you know, for conference call videos.
Speaker 3: Just asking that I used to use all different things,
Speaker 3: that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have an only fans all right, So no.
Speaker 3: You know what, as crazy as it sounds, I know
Speaker 3: how this gon say, but I'm thinking about getting one
Speaker 3: just because of the web address, just because you know,
Speaker 3: just because of the earl, the universal resources.
Speaker 1: It would belong to you, everybody gets.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 1: It's funny because we used to recommend that back when
Speaker 1: you know, the web was really beginning. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: back when we were in Palm Springs doing the show,
Speaker 1: and even you know, the early days with U Slick,
Speaker 1: we would talk about domains and we would say grab them,
Speaker 1: get every domain you can if you but you know,
Speaker 1: the cost of domains has gone up, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: find that, you know. But remember the companies like go Daddy,
Speaker 1: Host Kater, some of the companies out there that that
Speaker 1: sell domains, they'll sell you a domain, but they're gonna
Speaker 1: try and get it to you for five years. You
Speaker 1: can purchase a year and go year to year.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have done this before where I have
Speaker 1: watched a television show like King of Queens where they
Speaker 1: not they mentioned a web domain. I went online and looked,
Speaker 1: and nobody owned the domain. I'm thinking that's free advertising,
Speaker 1: And of course I bought the domain. I owned it
Speaker 1: for a little while and then I thought this is stupid.
Speaker 1: I got rid of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't make a profit on it.
Speaker 1: One I remember, not long ago there was Ann Wilson
Speaker 1: for President. Now, for those of you who know who
Speaker 1: Ann Wilson is, she is a member of the group
Speaker 1: Heart and back in the last election they she had
Speaker 1: put out shirts where somebody had put out shirts and
Speaker 1: Wilson for President with their photo on that. So I
Speaker 1: went and looked and sure enough, Ann Wilson for President
Speaker 1: dot com was totally available, and so I bought it.
Speaker 1: But I, you know, me being mister knisky, I ended
Speaker 1: appointing it to her official official domain. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's pointing. I don't think it's pointing anymore, but I
Speaker 1: still own the domain, but.
Speaker 3: You didn't get any credit for it because I did
Speaker 3: the same thing kind of some with some social media accounts.
Speaker 3: Gretchen Wilson, who hangs out with Big and Rich and
Speaker 3: remember that music mafia. She started her own label and
Speaker 3: I don't I'm trying to remember what it is. And
Speaker 3: I because I still.
Speaker 1: Might might have her own record label, right, yeah, record label.
Speaker 3: So I grabbed for you know, the Twitter at the time,
Speaker 3: that Twitter and Facebook and others. I grabbed the the
Speaker 3: name all those on those services for her. And I
Speaker 3: was holding it because I wanted to get it to her.
Speaker 3: But I never did get it to her, and I
Speaker 3: think her label folded anyway. I wanted to gran and
Speaker 3: and it's really because I have a thing for Gretchen Wilson.
Speaker 1: You were hoping this would be the gateway to meet her,
Speaker 1: you know, to offer up the domain. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Actually, and Rich once when they came to Tucson here
Speaker 3: and I told I told Kitty, I said, you got.
Speaker 1: Kenny could have done it. Yeah, yes, never happened.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Uh man, what a shame. But you know that that's
Speaker 1: the thing though, It makes you wonder. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: do we have all the gamut of domains for tech
Speaker 1: Talk radio. Of course, when we purchased the dobain over
Speaker 1: gosh over ten years ago, it was in Pump Springs.
Speaker 1: There was a gentleman that had tech talk dot com
Speaker 1: and nice guy uh. As a matter of fact, we
Speaker 1: we kind of went back and forth, and I believe
Speaker 1: he still may even own that domain, not sure. But
Speaker 1: then when we decided, okay, well let's go in the
Speaker 1: radio direction for it, we went ahead and did that.
Speaker 1: But of course we had to get all of them.
Speaker 1: We got biz gov oh yeah, yeah, dot org, well
Speaker 1: we didn't get gov, we got dot org, we got
Speaker 1: you know, dot net, the whole bit, and we've been playing.
Speaker 1: It's nice because when you buy a website generally, or
Speaker 1: when you get your hosting at least uh. We used
Speaker 1: to be with go Daddy, we were with Innerland before that,
Speaker 1: and then we're we're with the different domain company. Now
Speaker 1: you can buy a plan that will allow you to
Speaker 1: put sub domains in there. So what that means is, say,
Speaker 1: like even somebody listening here in Green Valley, you know
Speaker 1: Green Valley Bingo Club, so you have you know, Green
Speaker 1: Valley Bingo Club, and then you have you know Bingo
Speaker 1: Winners as a sub domain or the Green Valley b
Speaker 1: G or BC. So again you can have different variations
Speaker 1: of that domain name to all point to a domain
Speaker 1: or even a different website for that organization or that club.
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that all goes into one
Speaker 1: hosting plan and depending on the plan you get, you know,
Speaker 1: generally they're gonna cost you about three four five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars a year, depending on which company are with, what
Speaker 1: services you have with that, you know, you have backup services,
Speaker 1: the whole bit. We used to recommend that we get
Speaker 1: all the domains you can, you know, why not, But
Speaker 1: now things are different. People are not buying websites. You
Speaker 1: can even go to websites, and you know, you go
Speaker 1: to these companies and say, yeah, the website's not that
Speaker 1: important to us. What's important is social media.
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean, I like social media, but sometimes
Speaker 3: it just you know, and I tried to You're the
Speaker 3: one that got me really into because this was back
Speaker 3: in the days of MySpace. Oh you know, I was
Speaker 3: on I was on a radio station and a list
Speaker 3: of called and said, what's your MySpace? And I said,
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't have one. Yeah, you don't have one.
Speaker 3: You gotta get a MySpace. I got to MySpace. As
Speaker 3: we move forward in time, Andy, I told this story
Speaker 3: before Andy tells me, oh, you got to get on Facebook.
Speaker 3: Everybody's on Facebook. All of our peers are on Facebook.
Speaker 3: You gotta all right, Andy, So I get on Facebook, right,
Speaker 3: And he was right, he was right. But the networking purposes.
Speaker 1: I don't think we had an idea that MySpace was
Speaker 1: going to meld into to Facebook and Facebook was going
Speaker 1: to be the big, the big daddy of it all.
Speaker 1: It seemed like MySpace had it all. But then when
Speaker 1: you looked at you know how many connections you were
Speaker 1: making on on Facebook and there you know there are
Speaker 1: people who have been on Facebook that have left Facebook instead.
Speaker 1: I'm never going back on there again. There are problems
Speaker 1: still with Facebook, no matter no matter how you look
Speaker 1: at it. You know, you may report a fake account,
Speaker 1: you may report content that you should not be on there,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get nothing from the company. They're just
Speaker 1: not going to do anything.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you and if this has happened
Speaker 3: to you, but to me and other of our radio brethren,
Speaker 3: we were locked out of our accounts be cause they
Speaker 3: didn't like the names we were using.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you're not using a real name. Yes, It's like,
Speaker 1: how can you be called slick? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I'm not using my birth name. I'm
Speaker 3: using my nickname as my nickname is what everybody calls me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was a big problem for a lot
Speaker 1: of people in radio, and some celebrities were able to
Speaker 1: get around that with you know, their agents getting the
Speaker 1: accounts like on LinkedIn even you know, because you're supposed
Speaker 1: to use your one hundred percent real name, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people in radio, I know a lot of people,
Speaker 1: you know, they they don't they don't use the real name.
Speaker 1: I mean I went to broadcasting school with a guy
Speaker 1: whose last name was callis Vart He changed it to Michael's.
Speaker 3: Oh that makes sense, but.
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's exactly the whole. And then people
Speaker 1: couldn't get verified. You could get there's so many things
Speaker 1: to go through to try and get that, and you know,
Speaker 1: no matter what X does or Twitter or Facebook, you know,
Speaker 1: and then you've got other social media now, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny you look at the ages of people on Facebook.
Speaker 3: It is rare.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not gonna say rare, but you don't see
Speaker 1: as many of the under twenty year olds on Facebook
Speaker 1: as we saw maybe ten years ago. Yeah, they're all
Speaker 1: on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and some of the other the
Speaker 1: other services that are out there.
Speaker 3: And I kind of get that. I mean, there was
Speaker 3: a time and it was years ago, even when the
Speaker 3: reports were coming in that you know, Facebook is for
Speaker 3: old people. Okay, you know I get it because we
Speaker 3: we were on there and we were sticking with it.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 1: There was even a book do you remember that we
Speaker 1: had the authors on Facebook for seniors.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then so you know, eventually I did get the
Speaker 3: because of the Twitter I started. I get on Twitter
Speaker 3: because I need for the shortness of it, you know,
Speaker 3: I felt like I could just send out some short messages.
Speaker 3: Instagram I finally got on. Now here's the here's where
Speaker 3: you and I have diverged in the past and probably
Speaker 3: still currently. So Snapchat, I don't see the need or
Speaker 3: want or I don't get it. Don't get Snapchat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, it's really interesting how Snapchat works. And
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that are actually now
Speaker 1: getting a little older now they're in their their twenties
Speaker 1: to thirties even early forties that are getting on Snapchat
Speaker 1: and then they will follow and they will you know,
Speaker 1: follow content. So again does that translate? So the whole
Speaker 1: purpose is so you got a website or you've got
Speaker 1: a product, you've got a service? Is that that that
Speaker 1: that link creating content or creating a flow of business
Speaker 1: for you the client? You just having fun, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean you saw the ad this past week, which
Speaker 1: actually kind of surprised me. I didn't know they were
Speaker 1: going to do this. If you remember last week on
Speaker 1: the show, we were Grace with Alison Gaciola, who is
Speaker 1: the new manager for the upcoming opening for Cursel and
Speaker 1: they're going to be opening at the two soon Mall
Speaker 1: and her people. The PR People is a company they
Speaker 1: have obviously it's not done out of the local store.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that reached out to and I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about the grand opening. They had sent me
Speaker 1: the photo of Alison and I took the text and
Speaker 1: I put it on the photo and I use it
Speaker 1: and I explained you if they said on every interview
Speaker 1: we do on our website, we or the radio show,
Speaker 1: we like to have a picture of that person we're
Speaker 1: talking to. It's more personal, you know, whether it's uh,
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, you put a photo of them up there,
Speaker 1: or or Allison put a photo of her. So we did.
Speaker 1: They were happy that they they did that. When you know,
Speaker 1: the next day, I started seeing ads using that link
Speaker 1: and it wasn't linking to the audio only it linked
Speaker 1: right to our website, to tech talk Radio, and they
Speaker 1: said listen to the discussion with Alison. And I'm still
Speaker 1: seeing it. I've seen it on reels, I've seen it
Speaker 1: on Snapchat, I've seen it on Facebook, you know, And
Speaker 1: and I like that because that shows they have they
Speaker 1: have a service or a product, their new store. They
Speaker 1: want to get the word out about it, so they're
Speaker 1: sharing with people. Hey, come to listen to tech Talk Radio.
Speaker 1: You'll hear this interview, and hopefully it'll get us some
Speaker 1: people who will listen to the show on a regular basis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Are you on TikTok?
Speaker 1: Yes, I am, and I am not. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny. We've talked about the problems with TikTok and
Speaker 1: the information that's being shared, and I will not be
Speaker 1: on it for a while, and then I'll I've got
Speaker 1: it on my device. Some people say, don't. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: even have it in your device, and I'll open it up.
Speaker 1: And my cousin actually know, she's my niece. She's on
Speaker 1: it quite a bit and I like watching summer videos
Speaker 1: that she posts. And my daughters are on it. So
Speaker 1: you know, I can like, I can, I can like things,
Speaker 1: and once in a while I'll post something on there.
Speaker 1: But there are some people that say they won't they
Speaker 1: will not get on TikTok for that same reason I
Speaker 1: won't shop at Timu. Maybe that's the next step, but
Speaker 1: I I don't mind TikTok as much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I even tried to do I guess a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of things I do offline and then
Speaker 3: try to make them available online. So there was a time,
Speaker 3: and it's still kind of technically that is the case.
Speaker 3: I don't have a cell phone service, don't pay for it.
Speaker 3: And I lost my Lifeline service, which was the free
Speaker 3: one that you know if you if you're poor, you
Speaker 3: can get that service. Well that went away. So then
Speaker 3: I wasn't online until I had access to Wi Fi.
Speaker 3: So there was something interesting I can't remember. I wish
Speaker 3: I could remember what it was I could tell you everybody,
Speaker 3: but I wanted to take a video. I wanted to
Speaker 3: record a video and share it with everyone because it
Speaker 3: was kind of interesting, not necessarily funny, but you'd be like,
Speaker 3: really those videos, and through the apps on my devices,
Speaker 3: I could not while offline record a video. I tried Instagram,
Speaker 3: I tried Facebook. I would have to use the camera
Speaker 3: function of the device, record the video and then upload it.
Speaker 3: I was under the impression these apps and services had
Speaker 3: set it up so you could just right through their
Speaker 3: interface record the video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it didn't let you record it on the
Speaker 1: device and then upload it right.
Speaker 3: That's the only way I was able to get it done.
Speaker 3: Really disappointed me. The way the instantaneousness.
Speaker 1: I will tell you about some I just checked out
Speaker 1: last week. I gave it a test, and if you've
Speaker 1: seen our video with Sean and I talking in that
Speaker 1: segment from last week, I was pretty impressed with it.
Speaker 1: Now I'm trying to justify the cost, and I don't
Speaker 1: know if I have yet, but here's what it is,
Speaker 1: called opus clips, and it's O P U S C
Speaker 1: L I P S And here's what you could do.
Speaker 1: And when we look at this day and age of
Speaker 1: social media and sharing video content, because honestly, a podcast
Speaker 1: is important, but video content rules that will you'll you'll
Speaker 1: probably get more views of video content on social media,
Speaker 1: you'll get a good following of podcast people that listen
Speaker 1: to podcasts like they do, listen to this one. But
Speaker 1: the video is pretty amazing. Here's what it does. So say,
Speaker 1: now we're we're doing a zoom chat. We could be
Speaker 1: doing a skype chat, or we could be doing you know,
Speaker 1: a wire cast bringing you in that way chat right,
Speaker 1: and you take that video after it's done, and you
Speaker 1: upload it to Opus clips. Opus clips goes through it
Speaker 1: and it takes about maybe I want to say, fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and it will take an hour, say an hour of
Speaker 1: us discussing, and it will then transcribe and give you
Speaker 1: clips based on the discussions you were having. So last
Speaker 1: week Sean and I were talking about the audio that
Speaker 1: they found from the eighties of talking about technology and
Speaker 1: computers and the internet, kind of like what we do.
Speaker 1: But this is in the eighties interviews with Bill Gates
Speaker 1: and other trendsetters, Timothy Leary in the tech world. But
Speaker 1: we talked about it and it took that and it
Speaker 1: turned it into a one minute clip of our discussion.
Speaker 1: It even and what it does is it takes it
Speaker 1: to the same the right ratio. The ratio that you're
Speaker 1: shooting like we're shooting in right now is generally, you know,
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty by twelve eighty, you could do seven twenty
Speaker 1: by four to eighty. But the ratio for TikTok videos,
Speaker 1: Instagram real videos, Facebook stories, YouTube stories or shorts is
Speaker 1: a different ratio. It looks like you're looking at a
Speaker 1: smartphone and it takes it puts it in that correct ratio.
Speaker 1: But say I move out of the frame. It uses
Speaker 1: AI to move the shots, so it follows me as
Speaker 1: I'm moving, crops the shot. It crops it and moves
Speaker 1: with it, and it uses AI to create the translation,
Speaker 1: AI to create the clip. The service itself is free.
Speaker 1: You could create for the first time just by using
Speaker 1: it free again, and then you can download the clips
Speaker 1: if you get the actual service, which is one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five dollars a year.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: You can then auto share, so you can auto share,
Speaker 1: so you create create one sequence and say I like
Speaker 1: this one, it can auto share them to Instagram reels
Speaker 1: TikTok snapchat to YouTube shorts, which is all that's where
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to now for some
Speaker 1: of these short videos as YouTube. But it can do
Speaker 1: that all in one move and not bad. Now there's
Speaker 1: a plan that's fifteen dollars a month, or you can
Speaker 1: do the annual, which is a better savings because you'll
Speaker 1: get more storage, more features of that and opus clips.
Speaker 1: That just one of the companies. Now, when they first
Speaker 1: started out about a year ago, I think the reviews
Speaker 1: weren't that great. They weren't like one hundred percent. But
Speaker 1: it seems like people are absolutely using it a lot
Speaker 1: more and liking it. And again I was pretty impressed.
Speaker 1: Well we'll do that probably with this one.
Speaker 3: Oh I was thinking of it. Yeah, so you're out
Speaker 3: of a job.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah really Well, I you know slick, we've seen it.
Speaker 1: We have friends. They are web developers. You know that
Speaker 1: it changed. A lot of it changed. They would create websites.
Speaker 1: Now they would create websites in HTML. They have to
Speaker 1: learn WordPress, they had to learn Jumla, they had to
Speaker 1: learn some of these other languages that were out there
Speaker 1: for websites. They aren't all HML. We're still running an
Speaker 1: HTML website. We have a WordPress version. We just haven't
Speaker 1: officially decided to go in all in on it because
Speaker 1: the SEO on our site has been real good. So again,
Speaker 1: those are the things that you have to think about.
Speaker 1: But it is. It is putting people, creators, people who
Speaker 1: would edit that by themselves out of work. But it
Speaker 1: does it in record time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially now I've heard some of that, the AI
Speaker 3: replacements for us so to speak. Oh yeah, trying to
Speaker 3: create content and deliver it like we would when we're
Speaker 3: on the air and it boy is it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a company called Odyssey and that's a U. D.
Speaker 3: A C. Y.
Speaker 1: I believe they were one of the first that said
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna do this, that did that with
Speaker 1: a DJ play in music that's not even there. It's
Speaker 1: it's a AI created voice that but a lot of
Speaker 1: people said that they could hear that it wasn't a
Speaker 1: real person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's just like what something's not right?
Speaker 3: This is it? You could just you just feel like
Speaker 3: you know it.
Speaker 1: As Sean would say, the Uncanny Valley. I've seen ads
Speaker 1: on LinkedIn that I can tell you can tell if
Speaker 1: you look at them it's AI. It's the mouth. The
Speaker 1: face looks really good, the mouth is moving, it's a
Speaker 1: matching the words. But there's just something about it that
Speaker 1: might be off. That's because you're probably watching AI.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a social media site that I really did
Speaker 3: impress me. I mean, I see the value in it.
Speaker 3: I jumped on that one right away. Was LinkedIn, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's you know, that's like throwing your resume out
Speaker 3: there and then really really networking with with the professional people.
Speaker 1: But with every website and every bit or every social
Speaker 1: media you know, services out there, you do have to
Speaker 1: be careful still, especially in LinkedIn. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: scamming that goes on on LinkedIn because you you're sending
Speaker 1: your resume for a job you might not be and
Speaker 1: you're sending a lot of your info. Same goes with
Speaker 1: Facebook scams. The bump scam, I think is the most
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing in the world. If you've encountered the bump scam,
Speaker 1: We've talked about that before, where people put up an
Speaker 1: ad say this person's missing, and everybody shares it and
Speaker 1: they tell you please share, please share, and then once
Speaker 1: you've shared it so many times, it then gets replaced
Speaker 1: with an AD for real estate. They get paid based
Speaker 1: on that AD or they'll use it to actually rip
Speaker 1: people off. So wow, it means you have to you
Speaker 1: have to do a little and you have to do
Speaker 1: a little research.
Speaker 3: I have a confession. Since you brought that up, it
Speaker 3: just reminded me. So I do do some stuff for
Speaker 3: the government.
Speaker 1: For government, Yes, a government.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I have government access to an account and
Speaker 3: usually when they're they're doing the IT departments doing their
Speaker 3: fishing test or even if for real fishing comes through.
Speaker 1: Don't you love those tests? Yes?
Speaker 3: I catch them. I catch them in my personal accounts
Speaker 3: like Gmail and Yahoo and all this stuff, and I
Speaker 3: generally I catch them in my government accounts. I'm like this,
Speaker 3: this is stupid, but people click on them. Well within
Speaker 3: the this week this week when we came through and
Speaker 3: it had my my chief of staff's name in it.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, And and just the way it came through,
Speaker 3: I just was like, okay, let me open it up.
Speaker 3: Which was opening up was not the bad part about it.
Speaker 3: The bad part about it was because and because this
Speaker 3: has happened in the office. Usually I don't share anything
Speaker 3: funny of personal in my government account at all. I'll
Speaker 3: send it from my personal account. But we've gotten kind
Speaker 3: of a little loose at this office, right right, So
Speaker 3: you know, I wish I could say what it was
Speaker 3: because I don't remember what it was. But I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, let me click on it.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, did yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: I was zero for like five and now I got part.
Speaker 1: Oh man. You know it's it's important though, that everybody knows.
Speaker 1: I see it on next door. I'm on the next
Speaker 1: door service. I see where people say, you know, I
Speaker 1: got this thing. I clicked on it. And you know,
Speaker 1: people need to know do not click on things, whether
Speaker 1: it be from text or email. If you get an
Speaker 1: email from you know, you bank at Wells Fargo, you
Speaker 1: get an email from Wells Fargo, if you have to
Speaker 1: go to the branch or or call the number that
Speaker 1: is on the back of your debit card, give that
Speaker 1: extra layer of caution. Never click you something from the
Speaker 1: United States Postal Service. I want to deliver a package
Speaker 1: to you. That's another big scam. Uh. You need to
Speaker 1: be really really really careful about that because again that's
Speaker 1: the stuff that can financially hurt you. And again it's
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: And everyone I claim to be really good at this.
Speaker 3: I mean I really was, because let me explain it.
Speaker 3: Whenever I get an email in I have my systems,
Speaker 3: my email services all set up, so you see, Hey,
Speaker 3: it's an email from Slick, right, I don't see that.
Speaker 3: I see it's an email from Slick, and I see
Speaker 3: the email address, and I wasn't again, wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 3: Had I looked at the email address, I would have
Speaker 3: known right off. I wouldn't know right off that it
Speaker 3: wasn't you know. Plus also I take that extra step
Speaker 3: of I have all my images turned off. People send
Speaker 3: me stuff all the time, say did you see it? No,
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. Why didn't you put something in there?
Speaker 3: And the text explained to me what it is? I'll
Speaker 3: get I get newsletters and even my office will send
Speaker 3: out a newsletter and it's all graphics. You know, it's nice.
Speaker 3: People love it. It's a great newsletter. It really is.
Speaker 3: But when it comes to me, if there what is it?
Speaker 3: Is it all text? Is that what they call it?
Speaker 3: Whether you put the text for the picture that describes
Speaker 3: what the picture is. Yes, you know, there'll be a
Speaker 3: lot of pictures, a lot of graphics, a lot of images,
Speaker 3: a lot of posters, a lot of flyers that I'll
Speaker 3: never see because I have images turned off and they
Speaker 3: didn't think to send me the text as well as
Speaker 3: that graphic, that image, that picture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not everybody is going to look at images, pictures.
Speaker 1: They're not going to open documents there, and you should
Speaker 1: not open PDFs again, no matter who it's from, even
Speaker 1: if it says it's from your sister or your brother,
Speaker 1: think about it before you click. Really need to be
Speaker 1: careful about that. You know, it's a lot different when
Speaker 1: we just send you know, mail through the postal service. Email.
Speaker 1: It's faster and there are more there are more victims
Speaker 1: that can be out there, So you got to be
Speaker 1: really careful about that. We got to take quick break.
Speaker 1: You'll never believe the technology that is coming to your home,
Speaker 1: and it might be technology you just do not want
Speaker 1: to have in your home. Okay, I will tell you
Speaker 1: about that coming up. I'm Andy Taylor, I'm slick. You
Speaker 1: can find us on the world wide web at tech
Speaker 1: talk radio dot com. We'll be right back now, back
Speaker 1: to tech talk Radio. We like new technology on a slick.
Speaker 1: You like you like the new stuff.
Speaker 3: When I can afford it, always yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, here's something brand new that you could have for
Speaker 1: your home. And people are saying, but why why would
Speaker 1: you want to have this in your home. It's a
Speaker 1: technology that people have talked about for years, maybe even
Speaker 1: joked about. It could be yours for an introductory price
Speaker 1: for this month for one hundred and ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 3: Okay? What is it?
Speaker 1: Smell a vision? Smell a vision is, yes, they did.
Speaker 1: Users could watch a romantic beach scene and can now
Speaker 1: smell the ocean and taste the salt in the air
Speaker 1: courtesy of the devices available from movie Scent. They say
Speaker 1: you'll have a deeper emotional connection to their favorite content,
Speaker 1: compatible with every movie and game ever made, as well
Speaker 1: as a white range of devices including all TVs, PCs,
Speaker 1: mobile phones, Dallas gaming systems, and virtual reality had sets.
Speaker 3: Andy, you don't know where my mind just went to,
Speaker 3: and you should not be surprised. So I'm in the theater. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I got one of my favorite movies up yet it yep,
Speaker 3: Blazing saddles.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, blazing saddles around the campfire. There you go,
Speaker 1: more beans, mister tiger. Oh boy. Boobcent dot Com could
Speaker 1: take on a whole new meeting. Uh, it'll start shipping
Speaker 1: this month for one hundred and seventy nine dollars ninety
Speaker 1: nine cent. You can go to moviescent dot com and
Speaker 1: Amazon dot com. That's a pretty expensive gag gift. If
Speaker 1: you're getting into a gag gift for somebody, I can
Speaker 1: see you right now. Somebody listening to the radio right
Speaker 1: now now is jumping onto the world Wide Web saying
Speaker 1: I gotta have this.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They're saying that it will be available at all major
Speaker 1: retailers in the fall. I can't see Walmart carrying this
Speaker 1: movie Scent dot com.
Speaker 3: So if somebody's gonna buy it, they'll sell it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just I don't think there should be some sense,
Speaker 1: like the trash compactor scene in Star Wars that should
Speaker 1: not be available.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't want to smell trash, you know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to smell that, you know. I mean I can
Speaker 1: imagine like from uh, with all the Fast and Furious movies,
Speaker 1: it'll be the smell of burning rubber. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: see Good Fellas with the smell of cheap alcohol and
Speaker 1: cigar smoke, you know, in the in the casino scenes.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't know. I don't know,
Speaker 1: are you thinking?
Speaker 3: No? I was trying to think of some of some
Speaker 3: other sensory things that could be done. I mean, we've
Speaker 3: had remember what we did with the movie Earthquake. They
Speaker 3: put those little shakers.
Speaker 1: In the Yeah. Yeah, they called that surround sound, which
Speaker 1: is still around our sense around, sense around. I remember
Speaker 1: the first time I had experienced that was Midway and
Speaker 1: the World War two movie, the original Midway, not the
Speaker 1: not the most recent one. There was one that came
Speaker 1: out with it had him gosh, oh god, I had
Speaker 1: a huge cast, Robert Bitcham, Burt Lancaster had a huge cast.
Speaker 1: Eric Estrada one of his first movies, and I remember
Speaker 1: my dad really wanted to see it and it was
Speaker 1: one of the movies you took me to the theater
Speaker 1: to go see, and we're in the lobby and it
Speaker 1: was a you know, single screen theater and that first
Speaker 1: the first bomb went off in the in the film,
Speaker 1: the whole theater shook and I had no idea what
Speaker 1: was going on. And you know, my dad grew up
Speaker 1: in London during World War two, and so he went
Speaker 1: through the bombings, you know, the raids in London and
Speaker 1: experienced it and said that it pretty much almost caused
Speaker 1: him to drop everything. The popcorn in soda, the whole
Speaker 1: bit was that realistic. They did a good job on that.
Speaker 3: I think the first one. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: remember this, because you know not, there's there's not many
Speaker 3: people who do. I think one of the first sensory
Speaker 3: how do we want to put this, uh, sensory featured
Speaker 3: movies in the theater. It was a black and white one,
Speaker 3: if anybody remembers, and there was I'm trying to think
Speaker 3: of the name of the guy he would did Michael
Speaker 3: Jackson's thriller No, No, the Voice, The Voice, Oh the Boy.
Speaker 1: Vincent Price, Thank You.
Speaker 3: It was a Vincent Price movie, right, And I remember this.
Speaker 3: It was called I'm surprised you don't know this The Tingler.
Speaker 1: Theer was black.
Speaker 3: And white movie because I heard stories of this. This
Speaker 3: was like the first sensory movie century featured movie. Basically,
Speaker 3: let's say it's a spine that comes alive, right, and
Speaker 3: it's cawling around, right spine a spine.
Speaker 1: Basically, Oh, that's just wonderful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it goes dark in the movie, and the
Speaker 3: theater also goes dark. But then what happens is I
Speaker 3: think I don't know if it was some wires or
Speaker 3: string or whatever it was, because Vincent Price is saying,
Speaker 3: you know, hey, be careful, this thing is coming around.
Speaker 3: It could get you, and it don't let it grab you,
Speaker 3: because it was always grabbing somebody by the back of
Speaker 3: the neck. Oh man. Yeah, And this thing came up
Speaker 3: and touched people at the back of the neck. It
Speaker 3: could have been a little slide, electric shark, could have
Speaker 3: been a string. I don't know what it was, but
Speaker 3: he did that in the theater.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, the Tingler. Yeah, I'm gonna have to look.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look for this one.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: There was a movie and I want to say it
Speaker 1: was I think it might have. Was it Top Secret?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the silly comedy movies. You had like
Speaker 1: Naked Gun Top Secret by the guys that do those,
Speaker 1: and they were making fun of that sensory experience in
Speaker 1: the theaters, and they had like somebody behind rubbing the
Speaker 1: shoulders of somebody. There's this scene in the movie if
Speaker 1: somebody's getting his shoulders rubbed, so they'd have somebody back
Speaker 1: there doing that, and it's really a silly sequence but
Speaker 1: I can't remember what movie it was, but yeah, they
Speaker 1: kind of made fun of that. House of Wax was
Speaker 1: one of the first three D movies, and I always
Speaker 1: thought this was funny. You're a little fact for us
Speaker 1: slick in cases ever comes up. Why did the director
Speaker 1: Andre de taf not be able to see the movie
Speaker 1: House of Wax and three D?
Speaker 3: Don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's thinking he was blind in one eye, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he could not experience the three D effect for the
Speaker 1: original House of Wax and something I learned in my
Speaker 1: days working at movieland Wax Museum. But there you go,
Speaker 1: smell a vision. If having a big screen isn't enough,
Speaker 1: now you can have the smells that could be associated
Speaker 1: with the movie.
Speaker 3: I just looked it up and the Tingler I was mentioning.
Speaker 3: It's called person and they did use like a little
Speaker 3: electric current.
Speaker 1: They actually shot you. Did they stop when somebody died.
Speaker 3: Here's the line, ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic,
Speaker 3: but scream. Scream for your lives. That was a part
Speaker 3: of the movie. If you scream, then you could do
Speaker 3: this thing would go away, right. The Tingler is loose
Speaker 3: in this theater.
Speaker 1: The Tingler. Great, So you would think something was that.
Speaker 1: I know that the most recent ABYSS movie that James
Speaker 1: Cameron put out, and I guess he's he's gonna do
Speaker 1: another one, they did something similar with the smell of
Speaker 1: the sea air and fans that would blow, like in
Speaker 1: certain scenes, up on people's legs to give them more
Speaker 1: of it experience, you know, because James Cameron's always been
Speaker 1: one of those that, well, not Abyss. It's not Abyss,
Speaker 1: it's the other one. I'm thinking of. What is the
Speaker 1: What is the other one with the world where the
Speaker 1: people were dressed up characters and Sigourney Weaver was in it?
Speaker 3: Uh recently?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what is that?
Speaker 3: I think I know what movie you're talking about. Was
Speaker 3: they had like a drive in city kind of thing.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see it. Yeah, yeah, what is the movie?
Speaker 1: Our listeners? Maybe the listener can help us, go ahead
Speaker 1: and send us a note that we'll we'll figure out
Speaker 1: what the movie is. But yeah, I'm I'm blood. But
Speaker 1: that's what he was doing, trying to bring that experience
Speaker 1: in for the theaters because something that the homes I
Speaker 1: guess couldn't offer.
Speaker 3: Hey, gang, we can't watch them all. We're not Ciskel
Speaker 3: and Ebert.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's gonna be bugging me. Now, what is the
Speaker 1: name of that movie? Somebody drop us, drop us the
Speaker 1: note tech guys at tech talk radio dot com or
Speaker 1: hit us on Facebook. Let us know what is that
Speaker 1: that movie that James Cameron put out a sequel to.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have another one as well.
Speaker 3: And somebody else is sitting back going who's Siskel and Ebert?
Speaker 1: Hey we're not that old. Uh So now you watch
Speaker 1: the segments on Fox eleven.
Speaker 3: Right, I do, yes, I do. Uh.
Speaker 1: The guy that I do the show with, you know,
Speaker 1: Andrew moved to San Antonio and is doing TV out there.
Speaker 1: Tyler Butler is the guy that I do the segments with. Now,
Speaker 1: very cool guy. Well, I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 1: but Tyler is a big flight sim guy. No, he's
Speaker 1: also very much into the world of trains. And if
Speaker 1: you get on out to the Gadsden Pacific Museum where
Speaker 1: they show, they have a model train set up and
Speaker 1: on Sundays you can get on out there. We've talked
Speaker 1: about it here on the station. Well, they now have
Speaker 1: a new game that's coming out September seventeenth, called Train
Speaker 1: Simworld five all right, and it's available for pre order
Speaker 1: on PlayStation, Xbox, PC platforms, and it has new routes
Speaker 1: or routes you can take across the UK, Germany and USA. Right,
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, a trained sim how good
Speaker 1: is it going to look? It is absolutely amazing. The
Speaker 1: graphics on it are just phenomenal. Trainsimworld dot Com actually
Speaker 1: a trailer out for this, and I mean, I don't know, slick,
Speaker 1: if you want to pull that up while we're well,
Speaker 1: we're talking here train simworld dot Com. They're they're getting
Speaker 1: the games to look ultra realistic. And I was telling
Speaker 1: Tyler about this because I know he loves trains and
Speaker 1: it's something that he's definitely going to be checking out.
Speaker 1: But they have a trailer for the game that looks
Speaker 1: very cinematic, and these are this is the actual gameplay
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to play in this.
Speaker 1: And if you like trains, uh, and you want to simulator,
Speaker 1: you know we've had you know, we've talked before about
Speaker 1: truck sims, We've talked talked about you know, flight sims,
Speaker 1: space sims. Train sims actually look pretty good.
Speaker 3: What do you think it looks into I think it's
Speaker 3: I richly do excuse me, I really do like trains.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was born and raised, you know, as a child
Speaker 3: in d C. And my great grandmother used to take
Speaker 3: me on Amtrak all the time. Oh wow, love Amtrak, right,
Speaker 3: just love it. But see this is I'm a little
Speaker 3: I mean, I've kind of gotten used to people like
Speaker 3: you who like flight sims, right, I mean I don't
Speaker 3: get it, but I mean, if you know, you're happy
Speaker 3: to sit there and play okay train, to me, a
Speaker 3: train sim is kind of gonna be the same thing.
Speaker 3: You're sitting in the cab and you're kind of just
Speaker 3: running down the rail and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can you I mean, you could plan
Speaker 1: the routes, you could plan the sites to see, the
Speaker 1: stops to make and that's a whole of the idea
Speaker 1: of a sim You're gonna have different situations as in
Speaker 1: real life, similar to the sims themselves that became very popular,
Speaker 1: you know, where you had to create a world or
Speaker 1: they had not. They had a car simulator and I
Speaker 1: can't remember what that one was, but that one was
Speaker 1: actually pretty good as well. So yeah, knew I want
Speaker 1: to take a look at that again. That's trainsimworld dot Com,
Speaker 1: and one more before we take a break.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 1: If you're a gamer, Atari got a brand new console.
Speaker 1: The seventy eight hundred console remake actually play you'r Atari
Speaker 1: twenty six hundred cartridges. So if you've got the old
Speaker 1: Atari cartridges sitting in a box somewhere and you want
Speaker 1: to play them, you can do that with a new
Speaker 1: seventy eight hundred console remake.
Speaker 3: Do you know how much it costs?
Speaker 1: Not sure, it's gonna be out later on this year.
Speaker 1: I know it'll be cheap from what I've heard, it
Speaker 1: will be cheaper than an Xbox or a PlayStation. But again,
Speaker 1: the fact that you could repurpose your old twenty six
Speaker 1: hundred cartridges could be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I bought a portable Atari player, and then I remembered
Speaker 1: how bad the graphics were compared to today's, and I'm like, well, okay,
Speaker 1: this is not that much fun. So I don't think
Speaker 1: about that before you go ahead and invest. Remember the
Speaker 1: graphics gonna be a little different. All right, we can
Speaker 1: take another quick break. We'll come back with more of
Speaker 1: tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor and I am Slick.
Speaker 1: You can find us on X or Twitter at tech
Speaker 1: Talk Radio and now back to tech Talk Radio. We
Speaker 1: still haven't figured out the name of the movie. We
Speaker 1: were thinking about James Cameron.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you know he's not going to happen
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right again all right. So actually we were
Speaker 1: talking during the break about new products that are coming out,
Speaker 1: and there are some new ones that you may want
Speaker 1: to know about. Slick you get the rundown on a
Speaker 1: couple of those.
Speaker 3: Okay, follow me if you will have pens and paper handy,
Speaker 3: because this is gonna go. We're just gonna kind of
Speaker 3: blaze through this a little bit because it's it's coming fast,
Speaker 3: all right. So Huawei, that's the company. They spelled the
Speaker 3: h u a w e I and on on a
Speaker 3: post on a Chinese X like service or a Twitter
Speaker 3: like service called we Will. So they said they're going
Speaker 3: to hold a product launch event on September the tenth.
Speaker 3: It's really I'm going to tell you about the US time. Okay,
Speaker 3: so September the tenth in Beijing, September the ninth here
Speaker 3: in the United States West Coast time, oh oh, at
Speaker 3: eleven thirty pm. That rumor has it.
Speaker 1: A triple screen phone, a triple screen phone this rumor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't get enough with two.
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
Speaker 1: Would you actually like a triple screen phone? Really?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I've actually I've tried to double screen large. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then they work great for me because I can yeah,
Speaker 3: I can have one thing on one screen and one
Speaker 3: on the other.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, so triple screen phone in Huawei again
Speaker 1: it's spelled very strange. Of course, that'll be Android, that'll
Speaker 1: be the Android platform. I was thinking, though, is that
Speaker 1: time going to cut into Apple's big presentation which is
Speaker 1: coming up this Monday?
Speaker 3: But no, it was part of the point apparently to.
Speaker 1: Have it kind of follow up and get pressed up
Speaker 1: for their their because honestly, Apple's going to be, like
Speaker 1: we were thinking, maybe a new vision. We know the
Speaker 1: sixteen probably going to be announced officially, so we'll have
Speaker 1: to see what Apple does. And again that's coming up
Speaker 1: on Monday, so we'll be talking about that next week
Speaker 1: in the show.
Speaker 3: All right, what else I'm using the public beta iOS
Speaker 3: eighteen point one.
Speaker 1: You actually went for the beta? You're using it?
Speaker 3: I have a spare device, so I put it on
Speaker 3: there and it's okay. I mean, the one thing you
Speaker 3: were talking about that you really like. I think it

Speaker 1: And uh, maybe a new m chip I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard that. I have not heard about yet.
Speaker 3: But also what are they calling it? Where's the name
Speaker 3: Apple Intelligence? Their new AI that's going to wind up
Speaker 3: in the operating system for iPhones.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll be honest with you. I've never
Speaker 1: been happy with Siri, have you? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: and look, she didn't even wake up when I said
Speaker 1: her name.
Speaker 3: But I know a lot of people you use it.
Speaker 3: I rarely use it, I really do, because it just
Speaker 3: doesn't pull, doesn't pull what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: Out of all of them, Siri, big spee, Uh there,
Speaker 1: Spidery woke up the Alexa devices, what would you say?
Speaker 1: Is probably the best out of them for me?
Speaker 3: Right now? I've got that that Google speaker. I don't
Speaker 3: remember what the model name of it, but I got
Speaker 3: the Google Speaker, and it has been really good to
Speaker 3: me about getting me the information I was looking for.
Speaker 1: I've had the best results with Google as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and you know I thought about getting one
Speaker 3: with a screen, but it the formats I didn't like.
Speaker 3: I do have that is I think Amazon vire TV fifteen.
Speaker 3: I got one of those, all right because the screen
Speaker 3: size and everybody, save your money, it's not as big
Speaker 3: as I thought it was. I mean it's you still
Speaker 3: have to be like kind of close to it, and
Speaker 3: I did you know it's kind of a fail.
Speaker 1: All right. Now you have another product too, other than
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 3: Well, we could talk about Android fifteen real quick if
Speaker 3: you want.
Speaker 1: All right, Android fifteen do you like?
Speaker 3: That? Is coming up and it's going to be available
Speaker 3: for pixels six through nine devices as well as let's say,
Speaker 3: Samsung Honor and all the other color tech phone. Android
Speaker 3: open source project is out, so the beta, if you will,
Speaker 3: is available to developers. Some of the new useful features
Speaker 3: include partial screen recording. M just see what that is?
Speaker 1: Part catching up.
Speaker 3: On this one though, satellite connectivity to send or received
Speaker 3: messages without cell service. Who did that was.
Speaker 1: An Apple thing?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, that was.
Speaker 3: Really nice too. That was cool, uh, predicted back Jef.
Speaker 3: More in app camera controls. You might like that low
Speaker 3: light boost and sensitive notifications for two FA codes two
Speaker 3: factor authentication codes.
Speaker 1: Nice that. I do think we need better security on devices,
Speaker 1: better security to protect them the whole bit. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be nice Android for the Android devices. I
Speaker 1: know the you know I've been I've Justin was telling
Speaker 1: us about him getting the Pixel nine and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: maybe it's time to go Pixel Maybe it is. I've
Speaker 1: been Apple for a long time, and now I'm beginning
Speaker 1: to think maybe it's time.
Speaker 3: The only thing I like about Android is I can
Speaker 3: put on it. This is just a quick example of everybody.
Speaker 3: So I canenced all the Facebook app uh huh. But
Speaker 3: I can also install the Facebook Light app right next
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know there are also other beta versions
Speaker 3: that you can install next on Android. You can install
Speaker 3: them next to it. What I found in my experience
Speaker 3: on iPhone on iOS is you know, you get the one.
Speaker 1: App that's it.
Speaker 3: It's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah boy, all right? You also had something on bang
Speaker 1: and Olafson. Is that how you pronounce it?
Speaker 3: Bang and olaside? You know, I love the equipment, and
Speaker 3: the audio equipment is good. But so they got a
Speaker 3: new headset out bo Play h one hundred advanced DOBE
Speaker 3: at most headphones whatever that means, you haven't experienced it.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's good. Titanium drivers, right. Every purchase, this,
Speaker 3: this is what I'm excited about. Every purchase includes an
Speaker 3: exclusive leather pouch to protect and carry your headphones in style.
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And since my birthday is going to be Saturday, Andy,
Speaker 3: it's all gonna run you about fifteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Perfect bang, Oh my lord, fifteen dollars for a pair
Speaker 1: of headphones. I love you too, Yeah, fifteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: So some people maybe wonder what headphones do you use now?
Speaker 3: I really I haven't invested in Usually when I use headphones.
Speaker 3: When I invest in, I invest in radio centric headphones
Speaker 3: for broadcasts, right, which I know are open to We
Speaker 3: use Sennheisers. Some of the songs have been good to
Speaker 3: us as well. U costs costs was good?
Speaker 1: Oh cost yeah, costs audio, Yeah they're good too. The
Speaker 1: Sennheisers have been always a winner. Uh still series. I
Speaker 1: still think even you know, maybe you would not use
Speaker 1: that for broadcasts I willever have. However, you could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you got us headphones from a still series
Speaker 3: and you got us various ones, those had the best microphone.
Speaker 3: I loved using those for our shows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved it. It's interesting too, because I've been
Speaker 1: doing a program with the on the reservations uh Healo
Speaker 1: River Reservations on podcasting and talking to middle middle school
Speaker 1: students and some older students about the possibilities of podcasting
Speaker 1: and how easy it can be, and showing them various
Speaker 1: technologies that were available. And I've taken the microphones that
Speaker 1: we have in the studio. I've taken a microphone that
Speaker 1: i've that fuffy microphone that I bought at the bin store.
Speaker 1: But the ones that they liked the best were the
Speaker 1: headphone microphone combo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They didn't want to talk into a microphone. It's a
Speaker 1: little you know, it can be a little intimidating, but
Speaker 1: to have a headphone, to have the microphone that pulls
Speaker 1: out from the headphone, like the new Steel series or
Speaker 1: even the Logitech devices, they that they actually really liked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, depending on the studio configuration that you and I
Speaker 3: are in at the time, depends on which microphone. I
Speaker 3: will I like a mic on a boone, the standard
Speaker 3: broadcast microphone. That is cool. However, if I need to
Speaker 3: move around to get the buttons on an equipment and
Speaker 3: you know, still let's say queup a tape. Oh we
Speaker 3: used to cube tapes and you know, just to push
Speaker 3: a button on a machine over here or something. I
Speaker 3: need to be able to walk around that room with
Speaker 3: the headset on, the headphones on, with a mic on
Speaker 3: the heads on, the headphones.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. All right, another quick break, we come back. We've
Speaker 1: got more of tech Talk Radio. I'm Andy Taylor and
Speaker 1: I am Slick. You can follow us on the Facebook
Speaker 1: tech Talkers. You'll find us there. And now back to
Speaker 1: tech talk Radio.
Speaker 2: Good right, the science guy here whatever I am listening
Speaker 2: to the radio, especially tech.
Speaker 1: Talk Radio, our Slick has got something cool to tell
Speaker 1: us about that you may want to try. And it
Speaker 1: all deals with firestick. But I hadn't heard about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah. This is a replacement for a website of the
Speaker 3: week for this particular show. All right, So if you
Speaker 3: have and follow me with this, if you have an
Speaker 3: Amazon Echo show ten, okay, look it up.
Speaker 1: If I think I have one of those, Yeah.
Speaker 3: With the screen yeah, okay, and also an Amazon Echo
Speaker 3: Show fifteen that's the big portable one that they have,
Speaker 3: and the Amazon Fire TV Stick four K max. Let
Speaker 3: me just let's just say that's the the most expensive
Speaker 3: one they have, the stick. Right, then you have access
Speaker 3: to what's called the Fire TV Ambient Experience. Now what
Speaker 3: that means is you can set up on your screen
Speaker 3: stuff for you to look at, like a weather forecast,
Speaker 3: a calendar. I'm trying to think of some of the
Speaker 3: other stuff on here. You get news headlines on there.
Speaker 3: You can set up notes. I have sticky notes. Can
Speaker 3: you tell it?
Speaker 1: Can you tell it which news headlines? If I want technology, entertainment, science,
Speaker 1: I can do that.
Speaker 3: I don't remember. If you can do the interface, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say no. I mean it might be possible, but
Speaker 3: I'm going to say off the time, I had no.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right? And how easy is this to set up?
Speaker 3: It's it's very easy because you can do it through
Speaker 3: your Alexa app on your phone. Right, That's how you
Speaker 3: set it up, and then it you know it just said,
Speaker 3: Then it sends the information over to the screens, whether
Speaker 3: it's on your your show ten, you show fifteen, or
Speaker 3: that's that particular firestick, because I actually set up that
Speaker 3: fire stick for someone and I was just amazed. I
Speaker 3: was very jealous, very jealous because they have a large
Speaker 3: screen TV, and I mean you can see it, you
Speaker 3: can read it from across the room with these other screens.
Speaker 3: For me, I have to you know, I have to
Speaker 3: come up on it or put glasses on it something.
Speaker 3: But it's great to me if you have it like
Speaker 3: up in the bedroom. Let's say it across from the band.
Speaker 3: It's wonderful. Man.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, cool, I like that. Where can we
Speaker 1: get more info about it?
Speaker 3: Amazon dot com? Just look at the most expensive fire stick.
Speaker 3: That's that's the easiest way to find. It's the fire
Speaker 3: fire for fire TV four K max.

Speaker 1: word to you, Slick that's gonna make you go. That's it.
