<v Speaker 3>In the high tech Texan.

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.359
<v Speaker 4>Michael Garfield is here with a high tech Texan.

6
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Its to make life easier technology, and Michael Garfild has

7
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 3>something you might want.

<v Speaker 2>you make magic with your gadgets, heard worldwide on the

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio added. Now you're high tech Texan, Michael Garfield.

11
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>You know I could start my show by talking about

12
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 1>some important issues like the Israel Hamases fire, the inauguration

13
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of the new president, the fires that continue to devastate

14
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the LA area. You know I could also, you know,

15
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I probably even should kick things off with this technology

16
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>related news about the potential TikTok shut down this weekend,

17
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>or maybe following up on all the CEES products that

18
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm still playing in reviewing. But nope, because just as

19
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I turn on this microphone to blast my long running

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>talk show across the huge state of Texas and most

21
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>all over the world on the iHeartRadio network and podcast,

22
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I open my recent bill from Comcast, you know, the

23
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>company that provides my internet and cable to keep me

24
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>entertained and informed. Pretty much every hour of my life.

25
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>It allows the connection to broadcast this show to you.

26
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Well guess what, yep, they just raised their prices again.

27
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 1>And all I can today is Comcast is very lucky

28
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>that I have to abide by FCC rules and I

29
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>can't go scorched earth on them by using cuss words,

30
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>not now at least, But I'll dance around that and

31
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll just tell everyone if you have yet to cut

32
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the cord. Now the word in New Year, people, it

33
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is finally timed to tell your cable and internet company

34
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>to kiss your grits. I've already paid too much and

35
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't even sometimes I don't even look at my

36
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>belt and I get my bill on email and I'm

37
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>sitting down and I'm clicking, Okay, what's my automatic pay

38
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be?

39
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 5>This?

40
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>It went up twenty five bones. I am now paying

41
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>over three hundred dollars a month for internet access and

42
00:02:52.080 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>not even one upgraded HBO ish type of thing. Yeah,

43
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm ticked. And this is I am the techno for

44
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty four years now. I am the guy who promotes,

45
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>who tells you about everything technological, the king of tech

46
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>in Texas, if not around the world. I used to

47
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>endorse in folk long time listeners who live in Houston, specifically, Well,

48
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'll sell with other parts of Texas too. Do

49
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you remember when Houston's main cable company used to be

50
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Time Warner, And we're gonna go back twenty four to

51
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years. It was Time Warner and Time Warner.

52
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>They were the first ones to introduce high speed internet

53
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and it was called Roadrunner. People. That's how I got

54
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>my big start. I was the spokesperson for Roadrunner. I

55
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 1>was on their TV commercials. I was on their billboards.

56
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I was on their radio spots here, Austin, San Antonio,

57
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the Valley, wherever there is. Time Warner loved it. Man Again,

58
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>we went from dial up, and I remember I was

59
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 1>doing the TV commercials that actually made me use that accent.

60
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't say just dial up. It's like dial up

61
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>dial up to fast speed. Well, years and years ago,

62
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Time Warners sold and they swapped their territories. Comcast comes

63
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>in to Houston. I'm like, whatever, okay, and then I'm

64
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>paying my bill one hundred and forty, one hundred and

65
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>fifty then it was two hundred. It's just this is

66
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>just stupid. There's no reason I'm paying three hundred dollars.

67
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out of here. And you know what, I

68
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know anybody at Comcast. This is not serving me.

69
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I am. I do this show as a public service

70
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to you. I give you listen, I tell you great products,

71
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 1>great services to help you. But I am not shine

72
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>when it says, man, you better change. I don't talk

73
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>about Apple a lot because I think there are better,

74
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 1>better products than Apple, and cheaper products and Apple. I

75
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>don't talk about Sony a lot. I think Sony has

76
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>great cameras and great products, but there's cheaper things. There

77
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>are cheaper things out there. Comcast is not a sponsor,

78
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>never have been a sponsor, and even if they were,

79
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I would be questioning them too. Just three hundred bones

80
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>for this. Come on, people, time to wake up, and

81
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a good time. At the beginning of a year.

82
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:18.959
<v Speaker 1>It's twenty twenty five. Wake up. This is the time

83
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>where people set goals. You want to lose weight. And

84
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 1>by the way, my gym has been very crowded for

85
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 1>the past week and a half, so I'm gonna give

86
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it about another week and a half and then all

87
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you other people will stop coming. This is the time

88
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to look at your bills. This is the time to

89
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>look at all your streaming services and saying what am

90
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I doing? I am paying more for all of these

91
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>services combined that I used to be paying for one

92
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>cable bundle. Maybe it's time to renegotiate your least your

93
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>mortgage to move to check your insurance. My insurance. Listen,

94
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>my insurance rates were just raised. I know this LA

95
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>fire is not helping anybody's insurance rates. Luckily, I have

96
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>a really good insurance company who shops around. They send

97
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>me an email by a week ago, Hey Michael, you

98
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know your rates are being raised for your car, your auto,

99
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>your home. It's time to look at and they came back.

100
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.279
<v Speaker 1>They came back and helped me. That shout out capacity

101
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and insurance company who was in Houston. And by the way,

102
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.079
<v Speaker 1>they work all around Texas. And again that's not an endorsement.

103
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 1>These guys have long been great. They're out there working

104
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>for me. Is there an I'm serious? Maybe the high

105
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 1>tech text and me my brand should start an insurance

106
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>shopping company type of service for cable rates or cell

107
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 1>phone plans. Cost your getting out of hands. Listen, I

108
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>am not old guy on your lawn. Ironically, I turn

109
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 1>older in about two and a half weeks at a

110
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>milestone milestone. I got a milestone birthday. I'm not talking

111
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 1>about it right now, but I'm just hear for you.

112
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I am a consumer awareness guy. That's what I talk about. Listen,

113
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>I got another hour and forty five minutes wherever you are.

114
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to talk about the products that I'm continuing

115
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 1>to test the Consumer Electronics Show. I'm going to talk

116
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 1>about the TikTok band. What do you do? By the way,

117
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.319
<v Speaker 1>if you think talk is gonna go bye bye in

118
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the next probably twenty four hours or whenever you're listening

121
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>talk to you about Listen, it's super Bowl season coming up.

149
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>just you stop riping off consumers, and it's rip it

<v Speaker 1>x a N follow unless on the CEES twenty twenty five.

209
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I have to say this, after going for twenty three

210
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 1>years to CES. This year, I think the products and

211
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the things that I saw on the show floor, I

212
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>think it was more and I'm gonna use this term there,

213
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>it was more shoppable than conceptual. Now follow me over

214
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>here because a lot of the times at CES you're

215
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna see companies roll out some crazy stuff that is

216
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 1>great for media, great for soundbites, great for little TV

217
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>b roll. Oh, here's a robot that's actually cleaning your

218
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>windows when you live in a high rise. Oh, here's

219
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a you know, here's a drone that you could sit

220
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 1>into and you could fly to work. Like the Jetsaids.

221
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean had tons and tons and tons of stuff.

222
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>They're concepts people there for people in the ILK like

223
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>me in the media, who who they want headlines from.

224
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So I can mention Bosh and Sony and Samsung and

225
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 1>and TCL and everything, But odds are they're not going

226
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 1>to be on sale. But this year it seems I

227
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>was walking up and down the halls of the Las

228
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Vegas Convention Center and I'm thinking, you know what, a

229
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 1>lot of the stuff seems to be already on the

230
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>market on sale. I mean, I got prices on this

231
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. And I think it's good. It's more real

232
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that way, and I think it's good for companies who

233
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>are making good on promises of the past years. Oh,

234
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it's coming out eventually, I think eventually. It's such I

235
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>love over the past years. Hey, this is neat Is

236
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it my first? When I interview, and I talk to

237
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>people and companies with products. One of if not, My

238
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>first question is is this on the market now? And

239
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like when they say no, but it's coming. No,

240
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>but eventually nobody's coming in the third quarter. Blah blah blah.

241
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I like talking in the now. You want something now,

242
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>because we live in and now society. If I see

243
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>something I want. If you're if you're hungry and you're

244
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 1>rolling up and down North Central Expressway and now I

245
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you're rolling around uh, you know Loop

246
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.200

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you want a burger, you want a taco? Oh, this

248
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>is this new Feida coming out, the roll up Fida

249
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 1>coming out. No, we're advertising it, but it's not gonna

250
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.159
<v Speaker 1>come out to the end of the year. Ain't gonna

251
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>do me good? People. I want something in ow That's

252
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>my analogy. And I saw a lot of I did

253
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>see some neat stuff at cees. Is it available now

254
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.879
<v Speaker 1>for the most part year of year. I'm seeing this

255
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 1>year it's out and about and I like that thinking. Yes,

256
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.879
<v Speaker 1>we saw some concepts too. When it comes to automobiles,

257
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, I saw some concept cars like for the

258
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>past couple years, Sony and Honda got together to create

259
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Sony Honda Mobility. Oh, we're coming out with a great,

260
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 1>great car. It's coming. This is like, this is like

261
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>three two years ago at least, it was called the

262
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Afila A F E E L A one, the Afila one. Well,

263
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>guess what I actually saw on the show floor. I

264
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>saw the Afila one and it's available right now to

265
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 1>pre order, nearly five years after Sony announced that its

266
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:00.279
<v Speaker 1>intent to enter the EV market. I saw. But it's

267
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the vision S concept car. They unveiled it a few

268
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 1>years ago, came up with a name just a year

269
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>or two ago, and now I saw it, and now

270
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the reservations are opening up, and now they're allegedly delivering it.

271
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe next year. It'saw a lot of TVs

272
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifteen inch TV. A lot of the

273
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>stuff's on sale right now. These four k led things

274
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 1>that roll up and they have suction cups to stick.

275
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>They're out there right now, even the smaller things. You know,

276
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>some of these ear some of these robots, there are

277
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 1>actually robots. There's tons of robots in terms of vacuuming

278
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and mopping, robots. There's tons of companies out there. They're

<v Speaker 1>rolling out those products right now. You don't need to wait.

280
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So I dig that man. And so when people ask me, hey, man, hey, Michael,

281
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.919
<v Speaker 1>noticed they didn't say, Mike, hey Michael, Hey Garf, I

282
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>need something right now. I want to go get one

284
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 1>you recommend? Well, instead of me saying why, I want

285
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.240
<v Speaker 1>to see yes and allegedly it's coming out in the summer,

286
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 1>I could say, you know what, here's one from Robo Rock.

287
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Like robo Rock, Uh, it may not be the cheapest thing,

288
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>but this thing has got more suction power and it's

289
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>got it exchanges the dirty water with clean water by

290
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 1>itself automatically. Go get this thing right now. So I

291
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 1>do like that. Some of the gudgets that I showed

292
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 1>off on on my TV hit on Great Day Houston

293
00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>CBS earlier this week, I saw I showed off these

294
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 1>uh ray Bant meta glasses. Now, these these have been

295
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 1>on the market for a while, but they continue to improve.

296
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 1>They continue to have different styles in the wayfair style

297
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.559
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. But RayBan also is coming out with it

298
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>or the meta part of it. Meta, Facebook, Instagram. They're

299
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>coming out with software upgrades and I wore these things,

300
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.519
<v Speaker 1>and I got to tell you, for three hundred dollars,

301
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 1>these are fun and it has been a long time

302
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 1>since I've actually seen a product that is kind of

303
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote fun. You'll put these glasses on and you

304
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>they do. They do a number of things. They're they're

305
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Bluetooth at the lowest end. They're Bluetooth, which means they

306
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>have speak is built into the frames, the left frame

307
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>and the right frame, which sit on your ears, and

308
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 1>so when you connect it with your phone, you could

309
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>listen to music, a phone call comes in, you can

310
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 1>keep your glasses on. There's sunglasses for the most part.

311
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I have ones that have changing lenses. So I walk outside,

312
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 1>they become a little bit more dark, which is nice.

313
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.599
<v Speaker 1>And that's just the first part. The second part of

314
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>these things, and the really kicker right here is the

315
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>fact that they have a built in microphone and they

316
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>have a built in camera. Yes, allah the original you

317
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.200
<v Speaker 1>know Google glass, the Google glasses from years ago, this

318
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 1>has improved. It's got a twelve mixel twelve megapixel camera

319
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>that is always front facing looking out built into the

320
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>glasses and so at your command, you could hit a

321
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 1>button on the top right hand of the frame, or

322
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>you actually can use a command that says head meta,

323
00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>take a picture, and it snaps a photo. You could

324
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.279
<v Speaker 1>actually send it automatically to your phone. It also takes video.

325
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.279
<v Speaker 1>It takes up to three minutes of recorded video. But

326
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you can also live stream video of what you're watching.

327
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Here's your POV. You content creators out there, it's your

328
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>point of view. You can live stream to Instagram and Facebook. Yes,

329
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you could do that too. But the cool thing is

330
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the upgrade is now there's AI built in. You can

331
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 1>actually look at something and you can ask through your microphone.

332
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.640
<v Speaker 1>You say, hey Meta, what am I looking at? And

333
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.839
<v Speaker 1>it will tell you in your ears what you're looking at.

334
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 1>And I've played it. I looked at an apple, Hey Meta,

335
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 1>what is this? This is a green apple and you

336
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>can get it at a store like that. If I'm

337
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at a If I'm looking at a car and

338
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know exactly what model that is, Hey Meta,

339
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>what I'm looking at You're looking at a twenty twenty

340
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.240
<v Speaker 1>two Chevy but whatever. It is even better if you're

341
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>going to another country and you do not know the language,

342
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and you're looking at a street sign, you're looking at whatever,

343
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 1>and it's in a foreign language. You say, hey, Meta,

344
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 1>translate this for me as you look at it. Boom,

345
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 1>it translates it. Things like that. It's helpful, but they're

346
00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:00.200
<v Speaker 1>also fun. So there is some joy in Mudville. By

347
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>the way, Rest in peace, Bob Buker, who left us

348
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>at ninety years old. Earlier this week, Classic decent ball

349
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Actually was a crappy ball player, but dang, what an

350
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 1>entertainer sitting on the ultimate front row right now. Hey,

351
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.920
<v Speaker 1>new Year coming up? You want some motivation. Got a

352
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:17.799
<v Speaker 1>guy in Dallas who I've known for a long time.

353
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>He is a speaker, he is a trainer, and he

354
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 1>is just he's got more energy than me. Stand by,

355
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna give you a fire up session. As we

356
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.400
<v Speaker 1>open up twenty twenty.

357
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 7>Five years say Test.

358
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Two were back at it, Michael Garfield. We continue to

359
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>wish you a happy new Year. I guess we could

360
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 1>technically still say that. I don't. According to Larry David,

361
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 1>would you have like a week until after the January?

362
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 1>But who cares? Baby, It's January, It's dry January. We're

363
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>all getting fit. I'm just actually getting back to town

364
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.759
<v Speaker 1>man as I reached CAP, my Consumer Electronics show, trip

365
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to Las Vegas, my trip to the Cotton Bowl, which

366
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 1>we're not talking about. But I'm finally settled into my

367
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>normal regime here on the High Tech Texan Show. We

368
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 1>have done this now for twenty See I have to

369
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 1>add the number. It's twenty twenty five. So I've done

370
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 1>this for about twenty four years right now, and we

371
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>do want to welcome our relatively new audiences. Is in

372
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Dallas on A the eleven ninety AM and also San

373
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Antonio and the Big Stick WAI twelve hundred. Well, it

374
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:32.559
<v Speaker 1>is my longtime flagship KPRC nine fifty eight M in Houston,

375
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>all over Texas, and I like talking to people all

376
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>over Texas and especially my hometown of Big d in Dallas.

377
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 1>And I thought I'd be very apropos to bring in

378
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:46.839
<v Speaker 1>someone who, now at the beginning of the year, everybody

379
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 1>talks about I got to get in shape, I got

380
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to get my life together, and you know, I got

381
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to stop puttsing around and putting things off. You know,

382
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>it's I can only motivate you so much. I think

383
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 1>it's time for me to turn to a real motivator

384
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.960
<v Speaker 1>or somebody who physically is out there getting your butt

385
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>into shape. But also he knows a lot about the

386
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.519
<v Speaker 1>subject of not procrastinating. He's an author. He's also a

387
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 1>keynote speaker. He is a trainer. Ironically, he is a

388
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.319
<v Speaker 1>very very long time childhood friend of mine in Dallas.

389
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.799
<v Speaker 1>His name is Doug Rice. He's joining me, Doug, I swear,

390
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:21.400
<v Speaker 1>if you tell me you're doing push ups right now,

391
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:23.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna kill you because I don't need that pressure.

392
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.160
<v Speaker 5>No hell, I mean I I just finished about half

393
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 5>an hour ago.

394
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Johnny, I know you for you lost count at two

395
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.559
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty, right.

396
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:33.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm just trying to keep up with you. That's all

397
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to do.

398
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 1>You keep up by you do that exactly. Hey, listen,

399
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it's great talking to you. I know what. We connect

400
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 1>and we stay in touch here quite a bit. We

401
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 1>both have the Texas Longhorns and Dallas and that just

402
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>so many things in common. Let's not talk about that

403
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 1>game though. It was a hell of a season, but

404
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna it's all ours time, all the time. That's

405
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.000
<v Speaker 1>all we count.

406
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 5>We can agree on that our beloved Longhorns will be

407
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 5>back next year and they'll be back bigger, stronger and better.

408
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 1>You just describe yourself bigger, longer and better. I'm gonna

409
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 1>get into it right now because at our age, and

410
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 1>we're just going to call it our age. And my know,

411
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my listeners generally know my age. They know the age

412
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.279
<v Speaker 1>of my kids and things. It's not getting easier. It's

413
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we get up in the morning and you know,

414
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe for some not us because we're in shape, but

415
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's cracks and you know, creeks and the bones,

416
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, are are we going to rut

417
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in our life? And you know where do we go

418
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and stop? And I figured, you know, listen, we're just

419
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks into the new year, and you know

420
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 1>this is the stuff that you talk about. I love

421
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>your book. It's called at Now, procrastinate later, to kick

422
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>us off and motivate us. I mean, pretend you're on

423
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>stage right now. What do you say people to get

424
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.079
<v Speaker 1>their lives going for twenty twenty five?

425
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's twenty twenty five, perst of all, so that

426
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 5>should be your biggest motivator. We just started the new year,

427
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 5>and I don't care what Larry David says. I think

428
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 5>we're still we still can put together some New Year's resolutions.

429
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.119
<v Speaker 5>And the reason why people like to get started, you know,

430
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 5>obviously it's in January and they think, okay, we have

431
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 5>new goals, it's going to be a new me. Well

432
00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:59.920
<v Speaker 5>that does it works because we want to have some

433
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 5>to motivate this, and it's time if you have not,

434
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, if you've been putting off getting in shape,

435
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 5>or you've been eating everything that everything left and right

436
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 5>since since Thanksgiving and even I indoles a little bit

437
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 5>to the holidays, it's time to get started again. And

438
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 5>that is that's what actually my book ACT now that

439
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 5>that's an acronym. ACT stands for Attitude plus consistency equals transformation.

440
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 5>It's something I've been preaching my entire fitness career. So

441
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 5>first thing you have to do is you have to

442
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 5>get the attitude that you can do this. Sometimes it

443
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 5>seems overwhelming, Mike, It's like you can't you feel like

444
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 5>whatever it is. Let's say, let's say you have an

445
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 5>aggressive weight loss goal of you know, you want to

446
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 5>lose twenty five thirty five pounds or more something like that.

447
00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 5>Take something extreme or more. Don't feel like you have

448
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 5>to get it all in one shot. You just have

449
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 5>to take the attitude, hey I can do this. And

450
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.160
<v Speaker 5>then the second part, which is that see for consistency,

451
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 5>you just have to put in the grind, put in

452
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 5>the work, consistently, show up, and you'll make the transformation

453
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 5>that you're looking for. And that can work obviously in fitness,

454
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 5>it can work in any type of career goal, personal goal,

455
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 5>spiritual goal, whatever goal that you might have.

456
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 1>People are making list you know I call a vision board,

457
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:06.839
<v Speaker 1>dog or whatever you want to call it right now,

458
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and they have Okay, I'm gonna talk general categories. We've

459
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 1>got fitness, we've got business, we've got family, and they

460
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 1>don't know where to start. How do they What suggestions

461
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>do you do for prioritizing which one to start with?

462
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Or do you try to tackle all three?

463
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean I guess when you say all three,

464
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 5>I guess there's so many different categories and it depends

465
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 5>upon the person. And so since people tend to come

466
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.839
<v Speaker 5>to me most of all for my background and fitness,

467
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 5>and then the way that I got into the whole

468
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 5>keynote speaking area was the fact that I realized that

469
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 5>no matter what it is that you're doing, the same

470
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.359
<v Speaker 5>traits and characteristics and daily habits that it takes to

471
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 5>achieve a fitness goal are the same traits and daily

472
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 5>habits and characteristics that it takes to achieve any goal.

473
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 5>And that is first thing you have to do. I

474
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 5>always call it. I call it the one two punch.

475
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 5>The one two punch is simply number one is you

476
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.359
<v Speaker 5>have to set the goal. What is that goal. Let's

477
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.839
<v Speaker 5>just stay with the fitness right now. All right, let's

478
00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 5>just take that. Most people want to get in shape

479
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.759
<v Speaker 5>in the way they say they want to get in

480
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.039
<v Speaker 5>shape is they want to lose x number of pounds.

481
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.440
<v Speaker 5>So the most probably the most common goal is like

482
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 5>that ten pound fifteen pound range that most people want

483
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 5>to lose. So the first thing you do is you

484
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:11.720
<v Speaker 5>have to set that goal. What is that goal? And

485
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:13.839
<v Speaker 5>then the second part of the one two punch is

486
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 5>this is the key to the whole thing. Listen up, everybody.

487
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 5>You've got to get started, Okay, So I say, set

488
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:23.640
<v Speaker 5>it and then get it. Set it and then get it.

489
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 5>So you have to start the program. You can't keep

490
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 5>you know a lot of people what they'll do is

491
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.039
<v Speaker 5>they'll go buy a new pair of sneakers, to work

492
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 5>out it and they'll buy do gym clothes, they'll join

493
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 5>a gym, but they're doing all this busy work and

494
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 5>that's basically they're kind of it's kind of a workout

495
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.519
<v Speaker 5>adjacent you might call it. But you've got to get started.

496
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.079
<v Speaker 5>That is the key, because once you get started, the

497
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 5>magic starts to happen.

498
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to steal the nikes.

499
00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 5>Just do it.

500
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>They'll sue me, but just do something. And that's the

501
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. And listen, I've you know, I run a

502
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 1>longtime runner, thirty year runner, marathoner. I mean, that's that's

503
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.200
<v Speaker 1>what a my secrets do. I picked up peloton, I

504
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>picked up biking, and obviously, which is a different thing

505
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.759
<v Speaker 1>for me, I still go to the gym. It's funny.

506
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.720
<v Speaker 1>The past week or two, Oh guess what, I've seen

507
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 1>some people in the gym I haven't seen in about

508
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.839
<v Speaker 1>fifty one weeks, and in about another two weeks it'll

509
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.359
<v Speaker 1>clear out. But that's what they do. But at least,

510
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I got to give them some dapt

511
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>because they are there. They are at least they are

512
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to start. We speaking with Doug Rice. Doug is

513
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 1>based in Dallas. He is a trainer and author, keynote speaker,

514
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.119
<v Speaker 1>among many other things. Flipping through your book here, act now,

515
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 1>procrastinate later wherever great books are sold. By the way,

516
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about that in a few minutes. I'm looking

517
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:28.599
<v Speaker 1>at some of the chapters over here. Flex your attitudes,

518
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 1>slim down your excuses, and act now for leadership and

519
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the reflection of work life and balance. I love I

520
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:39.160
<v Speaker 1>see where you're going the whole thing. How these these excuses.

521
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think they're hilarious. I mean, you know, we're always

522
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 1>going to come by excuses. You know, how do you

523
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>come about that stuff?

524
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Well you have to Well, first thing you have to

525
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 5>do is you have to realize that we all do it.

526
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 5>We all want to make excuses. And I always say

527
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 5>that excuses are kind of the first cousin to procrastination.

528
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:55.759
<v Speaker 5>So you start to think of reasons why you can't

529
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 5>do something and why, you know why I've got to

530
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 5>do this first, or I want to take care of this.

531
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 5>Get past the excuses. My biggest fitness tip that I

532
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 5>tell people, and I've done this for years, and especially

533
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 5>when I would get somebody like in the media, like yourself,

534
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:09.119
<v Speaker 5>that would call me and say, so give me a

535
00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:11.920
<v Speaker 5>fitness tip. They're writing an article for a magazine or

536
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 5>online whatever it is. And I think the best tip

537
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 5>overall is I say, workout every Monday. Why every Monday? Well, obviously,

538
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.240
<v Speaker 5>because if you start on Monday, you get that workout in,

539
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 5>You've got your week started off with some momentum, you've

540
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:27.759
<v Speaker 5>got you feel like you've got the win that you're back.

541
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.039
<v Speaker 5>Now I've got my first workout in. And if your

542
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.039
<v Speaker 5>goal is to work out, let's say three times a week,

543
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:35.039
<v Speaker 5>which is a very solid workout plan, then you've already

544
00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 5>got Monday down. You've only got two more to go,

545
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 5>and you've got the rest of the week to get those,

546
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 5>uh those two additional workouts in. So start working out

547
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.240
<v Speaker 5>and put Monday on your schedule every week.

548
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It makes it makes sense if you're talking to Doug

549
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Rice and speaking of Doug Rice and working out. Obviously,

550
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 1>for those those Dallas listeners you have long toadday. Is it?

551
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it a Sunday morning class that I've been to.

552
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's boot camp on steroids for about an hour,

553
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 1>tell us, tell us about that.

554
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's boot camp, and yeah it was. It was

555
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 5>started gosh. I guess now that that Sunday group started

556
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 5>about ten years ago and it started off as an

557
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:09.599
<v Speaker 5>all guys boot camp. Uh And what happened was during

558
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:11.880
<v Speaker 5>during that that whole COVID pandemic. I don't know if

559
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:13.599
<v Speaker 5>you've heard about that pandemic a few years ago that.

560
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought the media made it up, but I'm not sure.

561
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Man still questioning that.

562
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 5>So I actually changed things around at that point and

563
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 5>we started we just we made it co ed. So

564
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.759
<v Speaker 5>now there's ladies involved in it too. I had a

565
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 5>I had an all ladies boot camp for brides for

566
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 5>many years and then, uh so we put the two

567
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:32.960
<v Speaker 5>together and now for Sunday, it's a co ed boot camp.

568
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:35.160

596
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.000
<v Speaker 1>off of the whole thing. And I tell them the

597
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.359
<v Speaker 1>secret here and again it's you gotta be from Dallas.

598
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Dallas is the key.

599
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 5>Baby.

600
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.519
<v Speaker 1>We are the We're nice Dallas boys. That's it. So

601
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 1>take that uston. It's in and done it. No. I

602
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 1>love everyone. Oh I love all my cities, but I

603
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know down here in Houston, they don't look too

604
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 1>well on Dallas up there. But yeah, Dallas people. Uh.

605
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Last question, is there a secret at all? Or just

606
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.599
<v Speaker 1>keep on keeping on this?

607
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.599
<v Speaker 5>I get the secrets in your mind that that first

608
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:58.680
<v Speaker 5>word of back now is attitude. It's all up in

609
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:00.640
<v Speaker 5>your head. You have to have that that attitude that

610
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 5>you can do it. It's a positive attitude that can

611
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 5>do spirit. It's not hocus pocus mumbo jumbo positive affirmations.

612
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 5>That stuff actually does work. The reason why it's been

613
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.319
<v Speaker 5>around for for for you know, millennia. If you go

614
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:12.599
<v Speaker 5>back and look at you know, some of the ancient

615
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 5>philosophers they were talking about how to They didn't call

616
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.079
<v Speaker 5>it a positive attitude. They called it different things. But

617
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.279
<v Speaker 5>it does work. And so you have to believe in yourself,

618
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 5>have that can do attitude and realize that you've got

619
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 5>to going back to what I just said, if you

620
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:25.400
<v Speaker 5>have a goal, you got to set the goal and

621
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:28.400
<v Speaker 5>then get started on that goal and you'll you'll be

622
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 5>amazed at how that magical happened.

<v Speaker 1>To put on these microphones run around the block right now.

<v Speaker 1>Good luck in the NFL, and I hope he is.

738
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Nothing makes me happier the watching NFL where a former

739
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Texas Longhorn where I went does something well, and they

740
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:43.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly because every time they do well, they get headlines.

741
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>And I'll be the first to say when Quinn you

742
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 1>weres you know, goes to the playoffs, go to the

743
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.239
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, I'm gonna be testing my boys. I'm like, Quin,

744
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you were fromp Texas from exactly. So anyway, that was

745
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.800
<v Speaker 1>me at the Cotton Bowl. So do I at the

746
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.719
<v Speaker 1>point is big week. We got an inauguration, and we've

747
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.800
<v Speaker 1>got a National Championship game, which now I don't have

748
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 1>to go to the National Championship to cover because Texas

749
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 1>will not be there. I will be this coming week

750
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:15.519
<v Speaker 1>in San Jose, California. San Jose now last north California,

751
00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just south of San Francisco, so not in the fires

752
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and everything, because that's down in LA. I'm gonna ask

753
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:24.199
<v Speaker 1>have to ask Dion Warwick and Burt Backrack how to

754
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:27.920
<v Speaker 1>get there. There's a throwback old school right now that

755
00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I just went over the head of about seventy percent

756
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of my audience. So I'm going to San Jose Silicon Valley,

757
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.840
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, for my first time ever. Now

758
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I've driven through San Jose. But I'm going up there

759
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:42.119
<v Speaker 1>because there is an event from Samsung. Samsung, I am

760
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:46.159
<v Speaker 1>going up there to cover a product announcement. And if

761
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 1>anybody wants to know which product announcement it is, I

762
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 1>can only speculate because I do not know what it's

763
00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:57.199
<v Speaker 1>going to be. But I am speculating it is gonna

764
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:04.000
<v Speaker 1>be some announcements on some new phones. That is Samsung Unpacked,

765
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and I am just kind of speculating that it may

766
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:13.239
<v Speaker 1>be the new Samsung Galaxy S twenty five, maybe the

767
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:17.159
<v Speaker 1>S twenty five Ultra. I don't know. I could be wrong,

768
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.159
<v Speaker 1>and I really could be wrong. So that is why

769
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you need to follow me on Instagram because my show's

770
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>are only on the weekend, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I

771
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:26.360
<v Speaker 1>have no clue why they need me up there for

772
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>four days. But I get to meet the engineers. I

773
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get to find out all the new AI built in

774
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:34.599
<v Speaker 1>products in what's coming out. Maybe there'll be some laptops

775
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:38.639
<v Speaker 1>who know. So that that is my week. So keep

776
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:41.760

786
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.280
<v Speaker 1>just something. Oh, by the way that I just kind

787
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of enjoyed. I found at cees there are there are,

788
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.519
<v Speaker 1>there are too many earphones and headphones and speakers to

789
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:21.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about. There's just there're earbuds, there's over the ear headphones,

790
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.119
<v Speaker 1>there's there's there're boombox speakers, is coming back? I got it.

791
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Just it goes on and on and on. I have

792
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's the over under. I easily have

793
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a dozen headphones, earbuds just I'm playing with right now.

794
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 1>I need a garage sale. I need to go on eBay.

795
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Let's trade something I don't know. I'll

796
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:40.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you what Comcast, I will trade you a pair

797
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.719
<v Speaker 1>of headphones a month if you just freaking wipe my

798
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:45.960
<v Speaker 1>bill off because it's so expensive. I know, I'm just

799
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.079
<v Speaker 1>kidding about that, really not So. I've tried all these earphones.

800
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Some are comfortable, some have good sounds, some have crappy sounds,

801
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.920
<v Speaker 1>some of they don't have good battery of life. I

802
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.480
<v Speaker 1>found that this was like almost a throwaway item. I'm

803
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Speaker 1>going up and down the aisles and here's a booth,

804
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.239
<v Speaker 1>and I'm familiar with this company. It's called And this

805
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 1>is not an endorsement I'm just Oh, by the way,

806
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:09.119
<v Speaker 1>it's called Soundcore. Soundcore you go to soundcore dot com

807
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and they've got some headphones and earbuds and speakers or whatever.

808
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, they were just they were giving some things

809
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.679
<v Speaker 1>away and I'm like, well, what is this? And there's

810
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.800
<v Speaker 1>there's these earbuds. They were different. These don't go in

811
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:26.440
<v Speaker 1>your ear allah AirPods or Samsung buds or anything like that.

812
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.280
<v Speaker 1>These don't go over your ears like we have here

813
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.559
<v Speaker 1>in the radio cans as we call them. These don't

814
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:35.840
<v Speaker 1>go around the back of your head and bone conductive,

815
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:42.079
<v Speaker 1>which I love. These are clip on earbuds. And for

816
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:43.440
<v Speaker 1>me to describe it, let me see if I could

817
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.559
<v Speaker 1>do it, because I'm a play by play guy. Left

818
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:50.320
<v Speaker 1>right on your radio dot They're like ear rings. They

819
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:56.000
<v Speaker 1>these are small, little black little things that kind of

820
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:59.119
<v Speaker 1>looks like a U shape and you clip one in

821
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.079
<v Speaker 1>your left ear, you're one in your right ear, right

822
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:02.960
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the ear, the middle on your

823
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:07.280
<v Speaker 1>on your ear lobe, and they look like ear rings.

824
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Now you wear them up a little higher, you know,

825
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:15.559
<v Speaker 1>ear rings, they dangle below. Correct, These were the middle

826
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 1>of the ear, so look a little different. But I'm

827
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:23.880
<v Speaker 1>telling you. They don't fall off to sound great. They're

828
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Bluetooth for the songs obviously, and also the phones. They

829
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:31.239
<v Speaker 1>come in a few different colors. You're different, they're neat.

830
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start using these a little bit a lot likely.

831
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I think the're about one hundred and thirty dollars. It's

832
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:39.320
<v Speaker 1>called the Soundcore Arrow Clip. Again, I have a bag

833
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 1>full of craft like this that I thought, oh, I

834
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just I use these, and I thought it worked out.

835
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:46.079
<v Speaker 7>This is not partway stuff that you pot er five

836

910
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:52.000

911
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was schlepping from Houston to Dallas for the cotton bowling back.

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:05.320

915
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.960
<v Speaker 1>anyway to stand by, But I talk about the cars

916
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:11.199
<v Speaker 1>and so many other things. Where was I going with this?

917

00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.519
<v Speaker 1>one of the ways. I need to start with this

921
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:25.559
<v Speaker 1>because this is a big weekend, by the way, not

931
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:53.679
<v Speaker 1>football team gonna be ground. But if you're a TikTok user, people,

932
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:56.559
<v Speaker 1>this may be the only thing that is consuming your

933
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:59.519
<v Speaker 1>life right now, because with the clock ticking towards this

934
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:03.199
<v Speaker 1>possible US ban for TikTok users of this video sharing app.

935
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:05.360
<v Speaker 1>You may be wondering what does it mean to you?

936
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Long story short, it's parents. It's parent company based in Beijing, China.

937
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.239
<v Speaker 1>It's called byte Dance. They're reportingly planning to shut down

938
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:19.639
<v Speaker 1>the app entirely on Sunday if the federal ban on

939
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this app goes into effect. All right now, if that

940
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:25.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to pass, you could be locked out of your

941
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:29.480
<v Speaker 1>favorite videos that you made, that others made or whatever.

942
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Now to us, somebody needs to find a buyer. And

943
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:35.519
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was trying to, you know, you know,

944
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.440
<v Speaker 1>get a few people bring and brings, you know, get

945
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.599
<v Speaker 1>our shekels, bringing a coin together, and maybe buy it.

946
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I had no luck. But I actually don't want it

947
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>because of all the social media apps that I have

948
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.239
<v Speaker 1>used or currently is, I have never downloaded to use TikTok.

949
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.519
<v Speaker 1>And there's no reason why it's not specifically because it's

950
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:57.760
<v Speaker 1>China owned TikTok. I just at that point, after Facebook,

951
00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>after Instagram, after Twitter, after app after LinkedIn after another,

952
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't need another one. And when TikTok originally

953
00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:08.119
<v Speaker 1>came around to me, it was for the younger, younger generation,

954
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:11.920
<v Speaker 1>now it's not. It's a great platform for advertisers and whatever.

955
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't get into it. So I am not

956
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:18.440
<v Speaker 1>crying boo hoo, and really no sweat off my back.

957
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:23.639
<v Speaker 1>If TikTok lives or dies, I absolutely feel and I'm

958
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 1>not happy for people who make their living who make

959
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of extra cash on TikTok, number one of

960
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>which is my influencer, young Son. I'm not happy about that.

961
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.199
<v Speaker 1>But people, if it goes bye bye, there are other platforms,

962
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna give you one an I'm anna analogy guy,

963
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.559
<v Speaker 1>analogy guy, let's go to professional football. Four years CBS

964
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:48.119
<v Speaker 1>showed the NFL the NFL all back in the days

965
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:50.599
<v Speaker 1>in the seventy eighties, the NFL had the NFC package.

966
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.320
<v Speaker 1>It was Pat Somemraw, Tom Brookshire, it was Pat Somemral,

967
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:56.039
<v Speaker 1>it was John Madden. They were great. It was it

968
00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:59.440
<v Speaker 1>was Sundays, it was NFL football. Terry Bradshaw was doing

969
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:02.760
<v Speaker 1>play by play, Firm Lunquist and everything. Well, in nineteen

970
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:06.559
<v Speaker 1>ninety four, I believe CBS lost for the first time

971
00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>ever in the history of the NFL television. They lost

972
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that package lost it. It went to Fox. The upstart.

973
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.119
<v Speaker 1>People were freaking up. People lost their job, Terry Bradshaw,

974
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:18.880
<v Speaker 1>they lost their what do they do? Well, guess what.

975
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.039
<v Speaker 1>The NFL found a new home on Fox. They picked

976
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 1>up that NFC package. And you know what you did

977
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.079
<v Speaker 1>as a viewer. You migrated over to Fox and you

978
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:30.599
<v Speaker 1>didn't You didn't care because it's the content that you wanted.

979
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Didn't matter what the platform was at that point, it

980
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.840
<v Speaker 1>was the content. There's my analogy. If TikTok goes away,

981
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:40.360
<v Speaker 1>don't cry people. There are still platforms for short form

982
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:44.320
<v Speaker 1>videos for what I ate for breakfast today, for the

983
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:48.119
<v Speaker 1>unboxing videos, for you know, follow me and watch me

984
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.599
<v Speaker 1>put my makeup on all that stuff. Instagram reels, that's

985
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:56.360
<v Speaker 1>what that's for. Facebook has something too. So I can't

986
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 1>tell you what's gonna happen with TikTok, but what I

987
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.679
<v Speaker 1>will tell you when we come back from this, if

988
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:02.159
<v Speaker 1>you do have tick tock, and if you do want

989
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:04.519
<v Speaker 1>to save your videos and everything you watch, I will

990
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tell you abous do that. After the break that's sounds

991
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:09.239
<v Speaker 1>what I am.

992
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:09.840
<v Speaker 6>I you segue.

993
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:31.440
<v Speaker 7>People don't go anywhere.

994
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much your lifetime right now, whether you're listening, it

995
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:35.760
<v Speaker 1>could be dinner time could be the middle of the

996
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:37.920
<v Speaker 1>night or all we know with that is that's how

997
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you know podcast and everything works. But as I plausibly

998
00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:44.480
<v Speaker 1>do this live in Houston and also heard in San

999
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Antonio and also Dallas, it's I'm a little hungry. Might

1000
00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I recommend Cobo Bob's. So I'm talking to you Houston,

1001
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:53.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to you San Antonio. You have one location,

1002
00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:56.679
<v Speaker 1>but Austin not far away. That's the headquarters. They got

<v Speaker 1>several locations, Cobo Bobs Man, I love it. Tell you

1006
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:05.719

1007
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:09.039
<v Speaker 1>your own inch. Not enchiladas. They do need to expand enchiladas.

1008
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Though they have tacos, they have burrito bowls, they have

1009
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:16.440
<v Speaker 1>some casadias, and they have the most killer tostada chips

1010
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:20.039
<v Speaker 1>tortilla chips that you've ever tried. Love their case. So

1022
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.320

1023
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:06.320
<v Speaker 1>happen to TikTok. The clock is tict tiktoking to hunt

1024
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:10.599
<v Speaker 1>intended right there? What do you do if you have

1025
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:14.000
<v Speaker 1>videos that you uploaded a TikTok? How do you save them?

1026
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Are they gone? Well? Will you be able? Let's talk

1027
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:20.800
<v Speaker 1>about this. For some reason, TikTok goes away. I remember about

1028
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:24.800
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy million Americans use TikTok. And if

1029
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:26.840
<v Speaker 1>it goes away because it's you know, there's the law

1030
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that it's owned by a Chinese company. I'm not getting

1031
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:31.960
<v Speaker 1>into the politics of that, but whatever. But if the

1032
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:34.440
<v Speaker 1>court does helphold the law, the company doesn't sell the

1033
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.559
<v Speaker 1>app to some body, someome company in the US what

1034
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.239
<v Speaker 1>you could expect on Sunday. Under the law, you will

1035
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.480
<v Speaker 1>not be able to download TikTok to your phone. App

1036
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.679
<v Speaker 1>stores like Apple and Google they will have to remove

1037
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:50.239
<v Speaker 1>the app from their stores overnight or they're gonna face

1038
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:52.679
<v Speaker 1>some civil penalties. That means you won't be able to

1039
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:55.639
<v Speaker 1>download the app to your device, and it also means

1040
00:52:55.760 --> 00:52:58.400
<v Speaker 1>by dance, the company won't be able to issue updates

1041
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:02.159
<v Speaker 1>to the app. If you already have that app, download

1042
00:53:02.159 --> 00:53:04.719
<v Speaker 1>it to your device, Yes, you can still access it.

1043
00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:08.360
<v Speaker 1>The law doesn't make it illegal to have the app

1044
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.760
<v Speaker 1>on your phone, so yes, you can still have it.

1045
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So don't worry if you get pulled over by a

1046
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>cop or something like that. Excuse me, sure, can I

1047
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.039
<v Speaker 1>see your phone? Do you have this TikTok app? Got

1048
00:53:17.039 --> 00:53:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and arrest them? Wreck? Come on, cops, Now it's okay

1049
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to have it on your phone. Will you be able

1050
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to access TikTok from a web browser. No, because the

1051
00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:29.400
<v Speaker 1>law applies to the app stores and internet providers alike.

1052
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Now the question how do I keep posts and videos

1053
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that you like? TikTok actually lets you download your posts

1054
00:53:39.039 --> 00:53:41.719
<v Speaker 1>and post from your favorite creators. You want to know

1055
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:44.000
<v Speaker 1>how to download the post from your favorite creators before

1056
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Sunday real Quickly open the app, Open TikTok, tap the

1057
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:54.800
<v Speaker 1>share button on a post. Share It's the arrow on

1058
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the right side of your screen. Then you tap save video.

1059
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you see how easily I break things down?

1060
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:06.199
<v Speaker 1>This is why I'm in the business people, simple as that. Now,

1061
00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:08.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you save your own posts? How do you

1062
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:10.000
<v Speaker 1>save your own post that you want? Because man, it

1063
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:11.719
<v Speaker 1>was cry It took me eight hours to come up

1064
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:13.239
<v Speaker 1>with the script, and you know, I had to reshoot

1065
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:14.639
<v Speaker 1>this and I had to have my wife hold the

1066
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Now you want to save your own post, Open TikTok,

1067
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Go to your profile, hap a post. You'll see three

1068
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:25.760
<v Speaker 1>dots on the right side of your screen called the

1069
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Hamburg Just whatever three dots you hit save video. People.

1070
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:34.519
<v Speaker 1>This is why I've been doing this for two decades.

1071
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I make it simple people. That's it. The apps. Then

1072
00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:38.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna the app is going to save those posts your

1073
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:44.320
<v Speaker 1>photo library. Hey Michael email coming in. Could I use

1074
00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:48.480
<v Speaker 1>a VPN a virtual private network to access TikTok? Good question,

1075
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:53.800
<v Speaker 1>because VPNs hide your IP dress. They're very They're very

1076
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:56.679
<v Speaker 1>smart and useful to use on many occasions. If you

1077
00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:58.559
<v Speaker 1>if you use a corporate account and you log in

1078
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.800
<v Speaker 1>remotely like we do it here at ir Right to

1079
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:02.599
<v Speaker 1>access a lot of things, we have to use a

1080
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:06.039
<v Speaker 1>virtual private network, many of them out there. It's worth

1081
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:08.519
<v Speaker 1>paying for a VPN because some of these freebie ones

1082
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:10.639
<v Speaker 1>they're a little loose a gracy. If you know what

1083
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:15.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, you could potentially use a VPN on your

1084
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:21.800
<v Speaker 1>phone or browser to access TikTok. So yes, that means

1085
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:24.119
<v Speaker 1>a VPN can make it look like you're accessing TikTok

1086
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:29.119
<v Speaker 1>from London, but you're really you know, you're in Dallas

1087
00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:32.440
<v Speaker 1>or somewhere. But you could also potentially use a proxy

1088
00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:35.599
<v Speaker 1>server to access TikTok. And a proxy server it's US

1089
00:55:35.639 --> 00:55:40.280
<v Speaker 1>like a VPN, and that masks your IP address by

1090
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:44.800
<v Speaker 1>sending your traffic through another server first. The main difference

1091
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:46.719
<v Speaker 1>between the two is that a proxy server doesn't offer

1092
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:53.000
<v Speaker 1>us how comprehensive privacy protections as a VPN does. Now,

1093
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:58.800
<v Speaker 1>could the incoming president ELECTROMP save TikTok? Not sure, because

1094
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:02.920
<v Speaker 1>if the law takes effect on Sunday, one day before

1095
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:07.599
<v Speaker 1>the president's elects inauguration. So if Trump wants to do

1096
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.280
<v Speaker 1>something about the law, it's going to go into effect

1097
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:15.760
<v Speaker 1>for at least that one day. Who knows, Again, I

1098
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:18.760
<v Speaker 1>am I can't. I don't understand politics. I'm not delving

1099
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:23.679
<v Speaker 1>into it. If the Supreme Court upholds the law, there's

1100
00:56:23.719 --> 00:56:26.679
<v Speaker 1>a chance that TikTok could stop working in the US altogether.

1101
00:56:27.840 --> 00:56:30.199
<v Speaker 1>It could. That means if you have the app in

1102
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:32.719
<v Speaker 1>your device, it won't work. And if the app are

1103
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:34.440
<v Speaker 1>to shut down entirely in the US, it would be

1104
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:39.639
<v Speaker 1>really beyond what the law calls for. It's an interesting situation,

1105
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:44.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the in the technological digital era that anybody

1106
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 1>can define by any decade or so. Let's just go

1107
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:49.960
<v Speaker 1>back to mobile phones and apps in two thousand and eight,

1108
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:52.320
<v Speaker 1>what the second year of the iPhone when apps itself

1109
00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:56.360
<v Speaker 1>were invented. So we've known apps for what fifteen sixteen

1110
00:56:56.719 --> 00:57:02.559
<v Speaker 1>years right now, it's kind of a first But to me,

1111
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and again I'm gonna spend about another minute over here

1112
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:08.000
<v Speaker 1>about this thing. There are a lot of Chinese owned

1113
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:11.320
<v Speaker 1>everything that we use here in the United States. Yeah,

1114
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I know, the automobile industry. There's some phenomenal, smart, inexpensive

1115
00:57:16.079 --> 00:57:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Chinese electric vehicles that I've seen. I saw cs that

1116
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you could probably buy if they ever got over here

1117
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.440
<v Speaker 1>without tariffs and everything. By these things are under twenty

1118
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:30.159
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. Nope, last administration said, hey, anything any cars

1119
00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:31.920
<v Speaker 1>from China, We're gonna have a fifty percent or so

1120
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:34.039
<v Speaker 1>tariff from this thing, which is why they're never gonna

1121
00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:35.920
<v Speaker 1>be twenty thousand dollars. They're gonna be forty fifty sixty

1122
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:39.559
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. Is it to protect our United States owned

1123
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:43.239
<v Speaker 1>in our research development, in our own companies? Maybe, And

1124
00:57:43.280 --> 00:57:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm down with that. That's cool. Did I love me

1125
00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:48.880
<v Speaker 1>some America? I promote America over any other country without

1126
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:52.719
<v Speaker 1>a doubt. I just I've always said this, man, America

1127
00:57:52.800 --> 00:57:55.239
<v Speaker 1>said many aspects. When it comes to the tech world.

1128
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:58.920
<v Speaker 1>In some other industries, we are behind. We are behind.

1129
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>So who knows this is we're figuring this out, that

1130
00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we are figuring this out. Listen, when I was born,

1131
00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say many years ago, but it's in

1132
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:09.639
<v Speaker 1>some years ago. Man. Life was different.

1133
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:09.800
<v Speaker 5>Man.

1134
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:11.840
<v Speaker 1>We had black and white TV channels, and then there

1135
00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:13.960
<v Speaker 1>was the color TV, and then there was the remote

1136
00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:17.039
<v Speaker 1>control and you know, and the internet. As we even known.

1137
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:20.079
<v Speaker 1>It has been around maybe only twenty five years. Phones

1138
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and Apse has only been around fifteen or so years.

1139
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:26.159
<v Speaker 1>It's changing, evolving. I love talking about it, I love

1140
00:58:26.239 --> 00:58:28.840
<v Speaker 1>following it. You hear my passion, and I'm trying to

1141
00:58:28.840 --> 00:58:31.320
<v Speaker 1>give you the best information that I can. We're gonna

1142
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:33.639
<v Speaker 1>take another little side step. We're gonna talk about cars

1143
00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and automobiles. The Houston Auto Show is coming up in

1144
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.280
<v Speaker 1>about two weeks. If you happen to be in Austin,

00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:36.239
<v Speaker 1>may be across the state of Texas. Now that we

1158
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.159
<v Speaker 1>are heard not only in h Town, but also in

1159
00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Dallas and San Antonio. So truly, the high tech Texans

1160
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:46.000
<v Speaker 1>moniker has come true. Just the high tech Ustonian that

1161
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:49.000
<v Speaker 1>can't be happier about that. Hope your ear is get

1162
00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:50.599
<v Speaker 1>off till a good start. You know. One of the

1163
00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:53.719
<v Speaker 1>things that I have done for a long time, fifteen

1164
00:59:53.719 --> 00:59:57.400
<v Speaker 1>to sixteen years, I have covered the automobile industry. I

1165
00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about cars and trucks. I get to drive them.

1166
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm a member of the Texas Auto Writers Association, and

1167
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I do get to go to a lot of the

1168
01:00:04.199 --> 01:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>auto shows around the country. And it's seriously not trying

1169
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to be biased over here. The Houston Auto Show ye're

1170
01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in year out, has always been my favorite. Yes, it's hometown,

1171
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>but also they do just a bang up job. It

1172
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>is massive, it's very interactive. It's always towards the end

1173
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.639
<v Speaker 1>of January, which means it is coming up, and I

1174
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>want to give you a little sneak peak of what

1175
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>to expect with that. I want to bring in Rochelle Selena.

1176
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>She is with not just the Houston Auto Show, but

1177
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>it's also the Houston Auto in boat show. It's called

1178
01:00:33.320 --> 01:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the Auto Boative Show coming up. She joins me, Rachelle,

1179
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>how many years have we done this? Right now? You

1180
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>excited again?

1181
01:00:41.239 --> 01:00:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm super excited. This is like my fourteenth auto

1182
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.000
<v Speaker 4>show that I've been working on, and I have to

1183
01:00:47.039 --> 01:00:50.360
<v Speaker 4>tell you that I haven't been this excited about our

1184
01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:54.320
<v Speaker 4>auto shows since prior to COVID. And we've really put

1185
01:00:54.360 --> 01:00:59.400
<v Speaker 4>together a great event, two events in one and filled

1186
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.039
<v Speaker 4>up in our center and we are chuck block full

1187
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:05.280
<v Speaker 4>out of sold out of space across the whole Hole

1188
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.679
<v Speaker 4>Energy Center, which is really great news compared to last year.

1189
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

1190
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>That really is good to hear. And I'm going to

1191
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>tell you why, because I've been coming to this show

1192
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>probably as long as you've been running, at fourteen or

1193
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>so years. It's always a blast. The COVID era was

1194
01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>something I know we all want to forget about, you know,

1195
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>we weren't getting out as much. And then now auto

1196
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>manufacturers you know this that maybe we're not going to

1197
01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>go to some of these shows. Just exciting news. The

1198
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:30.639
<v Speaker 1>fact that you guys are booked and you're filled up,

1199
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and I think it was a really fun, smart call

1200
01:01:33.679 --> 01:01:36.599
<v Speaker 1>of joint venturing with the boat show because you know,

1201
01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the past few years i've been there, I get to

1202
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>see some boats, and I'm not a boater guy, but

1203
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact is it's really open to my eyes into

1204
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>that you know new you know, new industry, and there's

1205
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:48.199
<v Speaker 1>some really unbelievable yachts to go along with those big

1206
01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:51.079
<v Speaker 1>land yachts, which are the big cars and trucks that

1207
01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:52.039
<v Speaker 1>you guys also have.

1208
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:55.719
<v Speaker 4>Exactly, and that's you know, that's what I There's mixed

1209
01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:59.119
<v Speaker 4>reviews on the die hard car efficionados and the boat

1210
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:01.719
<v Speaker 4>lovers on is this right for both of these events

1211
01:02:01.719 --> 01:02:04.840
<v Speaker 4>to be together, And I am sticking to my guns

1212
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.840
<v Speaker 4>and I think it's really great. You know, if we

1213
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:10.440
<v Speaker 4>were to have two standalone events, we wouldn't be filling

1214
01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:12.480
<v Speaker 4>an RG Center. And to be able to have two

1215
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:15.880
<v Speaker 4>events in one and have the yachts to the kayaks,

1216
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.159
<v Speaker 4>to the fishing boats, to your luxury SUVs and electric

1217
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:22.639
<v Speaker 4>vehicles for test drive, I think it's a full packed experience.

1218
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh. I expect it to be as usual for those

1219
01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:28.719
<v Speaker 1>of the folks out there who are on initiated with

1220
01:02:28.760 --> 01:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>a going to any auto show was certainly the one

1221
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>in Houston what can they expect, especially after you kind

1222
01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:37.199
<v Speaker 1>of had a big lead in over there that this

1223
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:39.039
<v Speaker 1>is going to be one. You're more excited than that

1224
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:41.159
<v Speaker 1>than you have been in several years from right now

1225
01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>with the packed house, talk about some of the manufacturers

1226
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>and some of the interactive things that are going to

1227
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be happening.

1228
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:49.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so I have to say Camp Jeep is back.

1229
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:51.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, they missed last year, but we're super excited

1230
01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:53.639
<v Speaker 4>that Camp Jeep is back, and so is all the

1231
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Stalanta's brands. So we'll have Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge Ram on

1232
01:02:58.519 --> 01:03:02.159
<v Speaker 4>display as well as Camp Jeep there. And for the

1233
01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:05.719
<v Speaker 4>first time in many years, we're bringing back BMW and

1234
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:10.159
<v Speaker 4>Infinity and also new to kind of the whole market

1235
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:13.320
<v Speaker 4>is Ineos and so Ineos will have the Grenadier there

1236
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:17.760
<v Speaker 4>on display too. We'll also have some ultra luxuries available

1237
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:25.199
<v Speaker 4>and then all the traditionals so Ford, Price, ser Toyota, Subaru, GMC, Honda, Hondai, Kia,

1238
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:28.320
<v Speaker 4>all of the usuals. So I think it's we have

1239
01:03:28.559 --> 01:03:31.719
<v Speaker 4>about thirty different brands on the auto show side.

1240
01:03:32.440 --> 01:03:35.079
<v Speaker 1>I great news about Camp Jeep. It's always fun being

1241
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>able to go back there and you know, being driven

1242
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>up you know kind of a mountain, you know, hype

1243
01:03:40.559 --> 01:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>looking thank us to show they're showing off their vehicle

1244
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>how well it takes those hills and the indios. I

1245
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>got to drive in an ineos Use. It was last

1246
01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>last October, so I think it was the Texas Truck Rodeo.

1247
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>That thing's a beast. And for people who've never seen

1248
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that suv, I mean that thing is ready for war.

1249
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean that is really cool.

1250
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:03.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's incredible. And we'll have test drive opportunities out

1251
01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:09.800
<v Speaker 4>front of NRG Center with Ford, Subaru, BMW will have

1252
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.599
<v Speaker 4>all of their electric vehicles for test drive, and then

1253
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.519
<v Speaker 4>we'll also have all of the Stalantis brands available for

1254
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:20.360
<v Speaker 4>test drive and Evolve Houston is back again test driving EV's.

1255
01:04:20.599 --> 01:04:22.679
<v Speaker 4>If you haven't driven an ev this is your chance

1256
01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:28.000
<v Speaker 4>to get behind the Hummer EV the Chevy options and

1257
01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:33.639
<v Speaker 4>the new Cadillac electric vehicle options too, So there's some

1258
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:35.960
<v Speaker 4>good variety there of evs to try out.

1259
01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Talking to Rochelle Selena, she is with the Houston Auto

1260
01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Gotive Show. It is happening here towards the end of

1261
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the month. We're with less than two and a half weeks.

1262
01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Stand by because she has graciously donated some tickets that

1263
01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:50.679
<v Speaker 1>we will give away later this hour before the show ends.

1264
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>It's funny you're listing all of the EV's and all

1265
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:55.679
<v Speaker 1>the car the opportunity. It sounds like my house over

1266
01:04:55.719 --> 01:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the past year. I am very fortunate to get to

1267
01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>test drive on a weekly basis some of stuff. And

1268
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you listened. I mean, I was in the Hummer EV

1269
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago. That thing is just a monster.

1270
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, nine thousand pounds. It's got three motors in there.

1271
01:05:08.840 --> 01:05:11.719
<v Speaker 1>But it is quiet as you know, get out because

1272
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>it's it's an electric vehicle. People are for those that

1273
01:05:15.079 --> 01:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>are unfamiliar with evs and they've ever seen them, and

1274
01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>you certainly can't really hear them, they're going to be

1275
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>surprised at the number of them on the on the

1276
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>marketplace nowadays.

1277
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:26.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, every brand has something available and so there's plenty

1278
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:28.679
<v Speaker 4>to learn. You know, Evol of Houston will have a

1279
01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:31.079
<v Speaker 4>display space set up to where you can really learn

1280
01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:34.079
<v Speaker 4>about everything you would need to have an EV and

1281
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:36.960
<v Speaker 4>what EV ownership can look like for you. So it's

1282
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:40.800
<v Speaker 4>an educational experience too. And then on you know, on

1283
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:44.400
<v Speaker 4>the boat show side, they're bringing in their professional bass

1284
01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:47.119
<v Speaker 4>caster and he's going to have the bass tank there

1285
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:49.360
<v Speaker 4>and teach you how to cast. And then out in

1286
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.599
<v Speaker 4>the lobby you'll be able to go and test your

1287
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:55.400
<v Speaker 4>casting skills, and we'll have some professional fishermen showing you

1288
01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:57.719
<v Speaker 4>how to cast a fishing rod right there in the

1289
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:01.440
<v Speaker 4>lobby of Energy Center, plus all of their boat displays

1290
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:05.159
<v Speaker 4>and outdoor adventure experiences and vendors that they have set up.

1291
01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:08.920
<v Speaker 4>And then we have a beer garden this year. That's

1292
01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:11.320
<v Speaker 4>that's back. It'll be in the back of Energy Center

1293
01:06:11.360 --> 01:06:14.880
<v Speaker 4>between the two events, and we're bringing in a celebrity

1294
01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:19.079
<v Speaker 4>robot that should be entertaining for some and a wrote

1295
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:23.000
<v Speaker 4>remote control racetrack too, so everyone can get behind some

1296
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:25.719
<v Speaker 4>remote control vehicles and test their skills to get to

1297
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:29.960
<v Speaker 4>the checkered flag. So plenty of interactive activities to fill

1298
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:31.480
<v Speaker 4>your whole day with the whole family.

1299
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:33.679
<v Speaker 1>You're in cars, what could go wrong? Good beer and

1300
01:06:33.719 --> 01:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>boats that actually they do go together. It sounds like

1301
01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>we can catch your own dinner. You bring the with

1302
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the fishing, which is really cool. As I hear you

1303
01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:44.039
<v Speaker 1>describe some of these things, sounds like a very family

1304
01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>friendly atmosphere and so it is this something you want

1305
01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>to bring the family to and catch out whatever.

1306
01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:51.559
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I always encourage everyone to bring their family. You know,

1307
01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:54.039
<v Speaker 4>these are big purchase decisions, and that's what you're there

1308
01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>to do. If you're you're on the boat show side,

1309
01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:57.480
<v Speaker 4>you might go home with a boat that day. You

1310
01:06:57.519 --> 01:06:59.800
<v Speaker 4>can buy a boat at the autist at the Auto

1311
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:02.360
<v Speaker 4>boat show, and on the auto show you're making a

1312
01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:04.760
<v Speaker 4>family purchase decision, and you want your whole family there

1313
01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:07.320
<v Speaker 4>to get inside of those vehicles. Make sure everyone fits

1314
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:10.079
<v Speaker 4>comfy in all three rows or in the middle seed,

1315
01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:13.639
<v Speaker 4>or however your family dynamics lay out. So it's definitely

1316
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.800
<v Speaker 4>a family friendly event. We encourage everyone to bring the

1317
01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:20.400
<v Speaker 4>whole family out. One of the other really family friendly

1318
01:07:20.639 --> 01:07:23.159
<v Speaker 4>activities that we're going to have that I'm extremely excited

1319
01:07:23.159 --> 01:07:26.760
<v Speaker 4>about is that we've partnered with NASA, and NASA is

1320

<v Speaker 4>bringing three space vehicles to the show and they're going

1321
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:34.559
<v Speaker 4>to have a very dynamic exhibit of the three space

1322
01:07:34.639 --> 01:07:36.679
<v Speaker 4>rovers that they have created to go to the Moon

1323
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:39.000
<v Speaker 4>and to the Mars, and all three of those will

1324
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:41.519
<v Speaker 4>be on display for people to see and experience, as

1325
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:45.280

<v Speaker 1>you get a busy uh sorry, if not, go to

1394
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the website. What is it the Houston Auto Show Houston

1395
01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Automotive show. We thank her for that. And I do

1396
01:10:57.840 --> 01:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>cover the auto industry every week. I do get to

1397
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you hes drive an interesting vehicle across the board, not

1398
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>from a dealership, not sponsored. I am a member of

1399
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:12.359
<v Speaker 1>the Texas Auto Writers Association, and these come directly from

1400
01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the manufacturers. And this past week, what's Michael driving? I

1401
01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>happened to be in a twenty twenty five Alpha Romeo

1402
01:11:21.439 --> 01:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Tonale Tributo Italiano. You know what. I don't even want

1403
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:28.399
<v Speaker 1>to review it. Oh, I just want to say that

1404
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:34.439
<v Speaker 1>ten times Alpha Romeo Tonale Tributo at Taliano. Dude, I

1405
01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>potentially would buy it, just so I could say I

1406
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>could own at Alpha Romeo Tonale Troberto at Taliano. That's cool.

1407
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:47.319
<v Speaker 1>That's a strong name. I don't know if I would

1408
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>buy it, though, just my two thoughts, and let me

1409
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>give you about a minute or so. It was an

1410
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>interesting green color. When they rolled it up to my crib,

1411
01:11:55.479 --> 01:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>it was, uh, well, let's guess what it's called. It's

1412
01:11:57.600 --> 01:12:03.159
<v Speaker 1>called Verde the Verde fangio metallic exterior paint. So it's

1413
01:12:03.159 --> 01:12:06.359
<v Speaker 1>a it was green four doors. It is it. It's

1414
01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna call it a very small s UV CUV

1415
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:13.960
<v Speaker 1>because it did have a hatchback. It's a performance car,

1416
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and I I'm gonna set that tone right there. Performance

1417
01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:23.359
<v Speaker 1>cars are cool, they're fast, they're they're they're they're locked down,

1418
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:28.119
<v Speaker 1>they're tight. There's different driving modes, the suspension, it's so

1419
01:12:28.159 --> 01:12:32.079
<v Speaker 1>they're not the most comfortable. It's not the easiest to drive.

1420
01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:35.079
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to really turn that steering wheel, give

1421
01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:38.079
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit more effort. It's got a lot

1422
01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of pick up, it's got a little get up and go.

1423
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:44.119
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a it's relatively tight quarters. And that's every

1424
01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Alpha Romeo that I've test driven over the past many

1425
01:12:47.279 --> 01:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>many years. It's again, I'm a six foot tall dude,

1426
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's not like I'm fat or wide or anything.

1427
01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:55.319
<v Speaker 1>But they've got these huggable seats that keep you kind

1428
01:12:55.319 --> 01:12:59.359
<v Speaker 1>of locked in and they're okay, it's just not as comfy,

1429
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:04.439
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever. I the you walk around, it looks good.

1430
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I like the look, I like the logo. The grill

1431
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:08.880
<v Speaker 1>is cool, and it does have a lot of you know,

1432
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>neat features. But once you get inside, and again, we

1433
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:15.680
<v Speaker 1>live inside cars, and that's why I concentrate when I

1434
01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:18.840
<v Speaker 1>talk and review about vehicles. I talk about the inside.

1435
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>How's the infotainment and is it comfortable? And does it

1436
01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>have you know, is the steering you know work well?

1437
01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it easy to program the radio stations? The infotainment

1438
01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:32.199
<v Speaker 1>system which is And again Alpha Romeo is now part

1439
01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:36.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Stalantis group. Stalantis is the overall organization that

1440
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:43.119
<v Speaker 1>owns Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, Alpha Romeo, Maserati, all this stuff.

1441
01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So this is this is part of that. And I

1442
01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:49.239
<v Speaker 1>remember the old Alpha Romeo. They had their own proprietary,

1443
01:13:49.840 --> 01:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>horrible infotainment system. Stalantis is they're trying to bring them

1444
01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:57.039
<v Speaker 1>in to their own game. The U Connect, that's what

1445
01:13:57.039 --> 01:13:59.159
<v Speaker 1>their system is called. And I love the you Connect,

1446
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong. You Connect across the manufacturers my

1447
01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:05.039
<v Speaker 1>favorite infotament system. I think they do a good job.

1448
01:14:06.279 --> 01:14:09.439
<v Speaker 1>The screen is relatively smallish, but again the car is

1449
01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:12.079
<v Speaker 1>relatively small less. And I didn't expect a twelve inch screen.

1450
01:14:12.239 --> 01:14:15.640
<v Speaker 1>This has a you know, the cluster itself is about

1451
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>twelve inches. But this is a horizontal screen. It is

1452
01:14:19.720 --> 01:14:22.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, touch screen activated. It had some

1453
01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:25.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it was just kind of glitchy. And

1454
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the steering wheel controls to control the volume and the

1455
01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:32.399
<v Speaker 1>control the favorites of the thing. They you know, they

1456
01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>were just kind of placed a little differently.

1457
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:34.399
<v Speaker 4>You know.

1458
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>To me, if you have a volume up, volume and

1459
01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>channel up and down, to me, should be the same thing. Okay,

1460
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Just like on a remote control for your TV. There's

1461
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:46.359
<v Speaker 1>an up button, there's a down button. Maybe on the

1462
01:14:46.399 --> 01:14:48.119
<v Speaker 1>left side there's a volume. Maybe on the right side

1463
01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:51.159
<v Speaker 1>there's a volume. It always blows my mind on steering

1464
01:14:51.159 --> 01:14:55.039
<v Speaker 1>wheels when automobile manufacturers, when it comes to volume and channel,

1465
01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>they've got two different systems, you know. To like, for example,

1466
01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:01.560
<v Speaker 1>on this Alpha Romeo to no, to change the volume

1467
01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:03.159
<v Speaker 1>up and down, there's a little button with a little

1468
01:15:03.359 --> 01:15:05.279
<v Speaker 1>up up up, and you go down down down. You

1469
01:15:05.319 --> 01:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>have to push these little buttons. But to change the channel,

1470
01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a thumb wheel. Huh. What's the confusing type of thing?

1471
01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:21.479
<v Speaker 1>The backspace was good, not great. I put my parents

1472
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:23.159
<v Speaker 1>in it. My dad is a massive man.

1473
01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:23.359
<v Speaker 7>Man.

1474
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:26.319
<v Speaker 1>He's like six three sixty four and he bear I mean,

1475
01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>we had to put that front seat way back for him,

1476
01:15:28.960 --> 01:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's getting a little older, and so it took

1477
01:15:30.720 --> 01:15:32.680
<v Speaker 1>him a little while to get in there. It's a

1478
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>low riding car very loads. It's it's not a high stepper,

1479
01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a low riding car. My mom was in the back,

1480
01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>yet she was fine. She didn't luckily interesting enough my mom.

1481
01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:43.920
<v Speaker 1>My mom didn't complain. Forget about it. Are you kidding me? Hey,

1482
01:15:43.920 --> 01:15:45.439
<v Speaker 1>this is a nice car. Maybe I should get it?

1483
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, no, maybe you should not get it. Price

1484
01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty two thousand is the base. I drove it at

1485
01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:53.479
<v Speaker 1>about fifty nine, six hundred and thirty dollars. If you're

1486
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a performance person, you should look at this. If you

1487
01:15:57.079 --> 01:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have in schleppel up that maybe you have one or

1488
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:02.359
<v Speaker 1>two kids who were in a car seat. Probably gonna

1489
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>be a little tight. To get things back there, the

1490
01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:08.359
<v Speaker 1>cargo space decent. I was able to get several suitcases

1491
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:11.039
<v Speaker 1>and I slept from stuffed up to take to my

1492
01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>parents from Houston to Dallas. It worked, okay. Last thing

1493
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you this thing's a gas guzzler. Oh my goodness,

1494
01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:24.520
<v Speaker 1>just guzzle gas guzzleed. This is a plug in hybrid.

1495
01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Didn't even use the plug in hybrid part of it.

1496
01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:30.359
<v Speaker 1>This didn't even use the hybrid. To me, it's worth us.

1497
01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>What are you gonna get twenty extra miles? Fuel economy.

1498
01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:35.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know I had to stop between I had

1499
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to stop from Houston. I think I got a full

1500
01:16:37.560 --> 01:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>tank of gas. Didn't I had to stop in Did

1501
01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I stop in Centerville Fairfield? Or did I stop a BUCkies?

1502
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it stopped to Madisonville BUCkies. That's not very

1503
01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:48.039
<v Speaker 1>unusually I can get to Houston to Dallas and went

1504
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>freaking tank of gas. I stopped twice on the way

1505
01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:54.399
<v Speaker 1>to Dallas to get gas. I think I stopped once

1506
01:16:54.439 --> 01:16:56.439
<v Speaker 1>on the way back. It just it just seemed like

1507
01:16:56.479 --> 01:17:00.199
<v Speaker 1>a guzzled gas. Just not gonna give this thing two

1508
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:03.600
<v Speaker 1>thumbs up. But again, this is me personally where I

1509
01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:05.079
<v Speaker 1>am in my life. Just I don't know if I

1510
01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:07.119
<v Speaker 1>want to get the Alfa Romeo to Alley tribute to

1511
