It is Michael Garfield is the name. 13 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.320 It's called the High Tech Taxi Show. I'm gonna touch 14 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.679 on some technology, but so much more. He's watching the Olympics. 15 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.079 Got a hot new restaurant, some in club in Houston 16 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:05.280 to just open. A little fashion stuff going on. I 17 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.719 got a big upcoming trip that I may need some 18 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.840 advice on, certainly in terms of which airline should I 19 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.120 fly for all you world travelers. Also some giveaways and 20 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.840 fun stuff. One hundred and twenty minutes. That's how we 21 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:18.879 do it. We've done it for about two decades, and 22 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.760 I do think all of you folks, and including my bosses. 23 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.200 It's nice that my bosses really don't listen to our 24 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.840 radio show our station on Saturdays. They really I don't 25 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:30.719 think I have any They may not even have a 26 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.680 clothe that I'm still on, which is actually a good 27 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.719 thing as long as I don't say anything bad that 28 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.079 really pisses off the FCC actually say it pisses off. 29 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.040 I'm not sure on podcasts we could, but we are 30 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.400 over the year nine to fifty kprc AM. That's how 31 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.920 we do it. Callam Reid, how are you, my man? 32 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.000 I hope you're having a nice, cool summer, even though 33 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.400 it has just been raining. Man, it is just we 34 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.079 need some boats. We need some floats, boats and hoes. 35 00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.159 There is what is going on. Not a lot of 36 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.519 laying out, a lot of pool time, not a lot 37 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.439 of golf, not a lot of anything outside. Welcome to Houston. 38 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.120 But at least I like to think most of us 39 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.319 have air conditioning right now. And if you still don't 40 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:15.560 have air conditioning, I saw stories even last night Friday 41 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.080 night on a center point, you know, just ticking people off, 42 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.400 and so many people lost their lives because there was 43 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.759 flooding but also no air conditioning and they got heat. 44 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.439 And am I wrong if my house has not had 45 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.840 air conditioning for two weeks. Right now I'm living in 46 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.360 like Aisle four of HGB. I mean, I'm going with 47 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.800 a friend. I'm finding air condition where I could find it. 48 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.039 So whatever you do, wherever you are, I hope you 49 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.599 are okay. Football season is near ess the only sporting 50 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.960 events we have going on. Opening ceremony of the Olympics 51 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.280 was yesterday and last night pretty interesting spectacle. Did you 52 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.800 watch it on NBC? Did you watch it live in 53 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.000 the afternoon, did you watch it on a night? Did 54 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.000 you watch it on NBC or did you watch it 55 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.639 on peacock You see, those are some of the things 56 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.080 that I talked to you about. Because there are streaming 57 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.000 and streaming is technology. I'm gonna give you some good ideas, 58 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.479 maybe some bad ideas of how to save money on 59 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.120 your bill each month, but also some better ways to 60 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.039 watch some things. I will start with this. I have 61 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.400 now spent two solid weeks now with some of my 62 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.719 new Samsung foldable phones, and I can honestly say I 63 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.840 can talk about it and you could talk about it 64 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.319 because finally, even though I do know some people, thank 65 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.439 you so much, and I'm in the media and I 66 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.800 do get the pre release versions for two weeks. They 67 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.599 officially were launched a few days ago. If you do 68 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.599 have the Galaxy Z Flip six, the Galaxy Z Fold six, 69 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.319 maybe you have the new watch from Samsung or the 70 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.840 new ring, which I do not have the ring or 71 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.919 the watch, so I can't talk much about that. Love 72 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.960 to hear from you. Use your new phone to give 73 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.639 me a call. Seven one three two one two five 74 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.520 nine five. Oh. I say that number because guess what's 75 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.560 actually a uh, it's a radio show where we take 76 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:12.280 your phone calls. 77 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.080 UH. 78 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.520 Not going to talk about politics because really, if you 79 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.480 think about it, nothing's going on in politics. Right from 80 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.720 the last time we spoke, nothing has happened in the 81 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.079 world of politics. We stay away from that. We'll let 82 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.720 the people on the Monday through Friday shows worry about that. 83 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:28.920 That's why I, uh, that's why I keep young and 84 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.839 I look relatively young, and I have the attitude politics 85 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.920 you do. You do what you need to do about that. 86 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.639 We'll talk about sports. We're talking about technology and food 87 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.639 and travel and other fun things for all you Apple honks. 88 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.959 Here comes your moment in the sunshine. Because I do 89 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.399 not talk about Apple a lot. Apple has no clue 90 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.920 who I am. I've had no Apple products has since 91 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.480 maybe the very first iPhone, which was many many years ago. 92 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.920 I am an Android guy because fact, much more people, 93 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.920 many more people in the world use in Android, then 94 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.600 they do iPhone on the iOS, and so I like 95 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.319 to talk to the majority of my folks. But Apple, 96 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.240 once again maybe taking a queue finally a rumor that 97 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.240 they're going to have their own flip phone. They could 98 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.480 be taking us back to two thousand and six when 99 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.639 annoying calls were ended by snapping your cell phone shut. 100 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.959 That's right. Apple is potentially charging a head with creating 101 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.439 a flip phone that you still can be addicted to. 102 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.360 It is an iPhone that folds like a clamshell. No, 103 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.199 this is according to something online. There's a information website 104 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.160 called The Information And you know what, most rumors when 105 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.079 it comes to Apple, they they do turn reel. It's 106 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.319 like Disney Everything. Rumors turn reel when you wish upon 107 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.240 a star. The more pocket friendly flip iPhone. It's a 108 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.439 concept that a lot of geek types have speculated about 109 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.720 for years, but it does now finally sound like it 110 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.040 is a concrete plan. Apple recently allegedly contacted suppliers in 111 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.040 Asia about manufacturing components for an iPhone that would fold 112 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.199 along its width, and the company also reportedly gave the 113 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.360 new product an official code name, and it was granted 114 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:24.040 a patent for the foldable screen just this last month. Now, listen, 115 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.000 sim it down. Plans could change, but if they do 116 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.560 proceed Apple's engineering, we need to figure out how to 117 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.600 avoid a crease on the screen and really make the 118 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.920 phone significantly thinner. Now, as with most of Apple's product releases, 119 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.480 a flip iPhone is not going to be the first 120 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.439 foldable smartphone in the market. I just told you. Samsung 121 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.519 has had theirs for six generations. Right now. Google has 122 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.600 a flip phone, Moola has a flip phone, and they've 123 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.279 been selling them for years now. I'm not ragging on Apple, 124 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.759 but they sometimes do take away and see. But when 125 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.399 Apple does come out with some then they do it well, 126 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.040 I will say that, and they do something for a nice, 127 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.199 pretty penny. And the funny thing is, there are so 128 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.759 many people right now despite you listening to me that 129 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.240 I've told you that this is the sixth generation of 130 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.560 a Samsung's phone. Google's had several generations. But when Apple 131 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.720 comes out, let's just say they do. One day with 132 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.160 the foldable phone, the world's gonna come to its knees. 133 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.519 Oh my goodness, I can't believe. And somebody came out 134 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.160 with a foldable phone. I've never seen like this in 135 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.480 my life before. Shut up, listen to me. And there 136 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.360 are already products in the market and they're not bad 137 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.680 at whatsoever. Experts say the foldable iPhone could drop no 138 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.680 earlier than twenty twenty six, and so think about that. 139 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.319 When we come back, we have a breakover here. I 140 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.480 am going to give you a little bit more inside depth. 141 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.839 I do have some prices on the foldable and the 142 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.720 flippable phones because they have hit the market. And if 143 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:55.240 you're a Verizon customer, I do have some good news 144 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.720 because it ain't going to be that expensive. I will 145 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.600 tell you that. Listen, love to talk to you, Thank 146 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.720 you for having and around. My name is Michael. I'm 147 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.319 the friendly Michael, the original Michael Hero and is APRC 148 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.959 ninety fifty Heart Media, Houston. We're gonna be right back. 149 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.759 Happy Olympics opening ceremony weekend. I guess that's the only 150 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.319 thing that's going on. Listen. Houston is relatively clear of 151 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.480 a hurricane at least today, even though we're getting drenched 152 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.639 by rain, but it's always sunny here on the radio 153 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.080 and on iHeartRadio, Michael Garfield, the King of Technology of Texas. 154 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.600 I came up with that one. Actually. I had a 155 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.360 funny conversation, does anybody still have business cards? In terms 156 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.039 of a generation? Our business just followed me over here. 157 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.159 Our business cards a generational thing because I have three 158 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.440 boys that are all in their twenties and they're all employed. 159 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.360 To my knowledge, none of them have a business card. 160 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:04.360 And I'm in two business meetings earlier this week, one 161 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.559 of which is with a dude out of my age. 162 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.519 He's in the fifties, and there's another partner of his. 163 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.039 He's kind of like adventure capital fundraising, you know, era. 164 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:20.440 He's twenty four sharp kit and we're exchanging information and 165 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.360 we're talking about business cards. And I have at least 166 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.200 two business cards, one of which is I have a 167 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.159 high tech textan business card, and then I also have 168 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.639 an iHeart Radio business card that, believe it or not, 169 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.559 that is the one perk that I think my company 170 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.840 still gives me. They're pretty old though, so the high 171 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.039 tech texting is my official trademark. Moniker, and I have 172 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.080 my logo, you know, with the cowboy hat and the 173 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.279 Wi Fi thing. I've got my cell phone on at 174 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.279 my email and whatever. And then I have my iHeartRadio 175 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.960 and it's got the iHeart logo, which is pretty powerful. 176 00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.000 It does open up some few doors. I must say. 177 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:55.960 It's got my name, it's got our company address here 178 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.159 in Houston. It's got my phone number, but it doesn't 179 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.120 say the high tech. I was cocky, and I was 180 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.200 I'm a marketing guy. It's as simple as that. So 181 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:10.200 I came up with another marketing moniker for me years ago, 182 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.440 and it's on my iHeart card. And I was explained 183 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.840 I didn't have that along me because I always give 184 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.120 two cards. So I was telling these people, one of 185 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.320 which is a kid who doesn't have a business card. 186 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.639 I said, my iHeartRadio card has the title. It says 187 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:27.960 Michael Garfield, Ambassador of Cool. I came up with that one. 188 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:28.279 That's it. 189 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:28.759 I am. 190 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.039 Don't don't try to steal that, and it says I'm 191 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.039 a business card. So he goes, I don't have a 192 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.080 business card. Here's my QR code and he shows me 193 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:37.960 his phone. He wants me to scan his QR code, 194 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.559 and we got into we kind of laugh, we got 195 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.919 into it about it, you know, ninety second conversation and 196 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.399 he's twenty four. I'm like, do you have a business card? 197 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:47.440 And he's like, yeah, I do have a business card, 198 00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.200 but I just don't have with me. And I believed him, 199 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.039 but I get it. It is so much easier to 200 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.799 not carry business cards. To create a QR code, you know, 201 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.559 the QR codes like you see on restaurant menu. That's 202 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.840 the easiest way for me to describe it. And if 203 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.120 another phone scans it, it'll download the name, the contact, 204 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.559 and it'll put it in your contacts. It's just that's 205 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.159 a paradigm shift that a generation above the twenty year 206 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:21.120 old punks don't understand yet. Alas I'm a technologically advanced dude. 207 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.279 I took my camera out, I scanned his QR code. 208 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.759 He's now in there. The next day we met again 209 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.120 and he brings me his business card and he gives 210 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.279 me his business card which looked like it just came 211 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.159 out of the washing machine, and it says to me, 212 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.720 he goes, hey, I just wanted to prove to you 213 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.399 I really do have a business card. And I apologize 214 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.159 if it's all wrinkly because this is like the only 215 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.639 one I got. It was in my pants pocket. It's 216 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.360 so like the dude probably got I got one business card. 217 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.159 I just thought that was funny. And so this is 218 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.399 the high tech text and slash ambassador of cool radio show. 219 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.360 If you would like to get in, say hi, tell 220 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.840 me what's going on. You want some recommendation on cars, 221 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:02.600 man driven or driving a lot of really cool cars. 222 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:08.600 I had a Jeep Wrangler camped up souped up, the 223 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:13.240 three ninety two version if you're familar with Wrangler retractable Ruth. 224 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.440 The wheels were as big as my first apartment one 225 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.840 hundred and eight thousand dollars. This Jeep Wrangler only seats 226 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.320 four off roading machine one hundred and eight thousand, which 227 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.759 was more than my first apartment, maybe my first house. 228 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:37.200 It was fun to drive, but dang man, the cost 229 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.000 of this stuff. So I will tell you my pros 230 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.240 and cons of that. I've been in the Chevy tracks, 231 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.639 I've had a KEYI this is another thing I do. 232 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.720 I actually do drive cars, but has promised I am 233 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.279 going to talk a little about phones and foldables. I 234 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.080 did tell you a little story how Apple rumored to 235 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.559 at one point soon that within the next two years 236 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.519 maybe come out with their foldable phone. Nice playing catch 237 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.759 up Apple because there are several other companies who have 238 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.559 them out, and as of two days ago, Samsung their 239 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:12.399 new Galaxy z flipfold, the z Flip, the z Fold six, 240 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.399 the z Flip six, they have officially hit the stores. 241 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.720 I have fortunately, because I know people. Thank you. Nicole 242 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.720 Montana with Berlin Rosen, the esteemed PR Company, one of 243 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.720 the companies of Samsung, she was able to get me 244 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.200 some of these devices like she always does, and I 245 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.799 really been having a fun time with the z Flip six, 246 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.320 the z Flip Sex. I like the form factor. It 247 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.600 is a clamshell phone. It is half the size of 248 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.720 your typical Galaxy phone, which I've also carried for years 249 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.000 and years. They have improved the camera. It's a fifty 250 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:48.399 megapixel outside camera versus their twelve megapixel outside camera from 251 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:51.799 last year. I have been using it as my regular 252 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.399 daily phone, which says a lot because I take a 253 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.120 lot of video for my TV Great Day Houston, I 254 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.320 edit things on my Instagram and what have you, and 255 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.200 I do need a high camera. So far, so good, 256 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.919 so far, so good. The z Fold six get decent reviews. 257 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.120 The z Fold six. The fold is the one that 258 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.600 folds left to right like a book. It is larger, 259 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:17.000 it's a little heavier. Not many changes from last year, 260 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.200 and these babies are not cheap. The z Fold six 261 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.960 starts about nineteen hundred dollars from Samsung that's official without rebates, 262 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.480 and the z Flip six that's about one thousand dollars 263 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.039 starting from Samsung. Now hold on, hold on. Within two 264 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.639 minutes after I got this beautiful email with the update 265 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.840 that their official release from the cold, I got a 266 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.600 note from one of my contacts at Verizon and Verizon 267 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:49.919 if you're a Verizon customer, they are greatly discounting these things, 268 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.039 and so they have a really smart trade in program. 269 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:59.279 They current and new customers can get eight hundred bones 270 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.600 off of the new z Fold six or the z 271 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.480 Flip six if they trade in any Samsung smartphone, any model, 272 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.440 any condition, and they guarantee that you do have to 273 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.320 get unlimited Ultimate one or some select business unlimited plans, 274 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.720 which I'm not getting into, but that's pretty strong. So 275 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.840 now you can get the z Flip six normally a 276 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.039 thousand trade into phone eight hundred dollars. Off ain't a mathematation, 277 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.679 but that's about two hundred dollars for a Flip six. 278 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.639 Pretty good deal. Pretty good deal. They also have some 279 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.000 other things. If you purchase a Samsung a Fold six, 280 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.600 the Flip six, you sign up for the a new 281 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.759 line on the Ultimate Plus or the Ultimate, you can 282 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:47.639 get NFL Sunday ticket from YouTube and UTV. That's actually good. 283 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.639 I may do that because I don't have Verizon, and 284 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.519 then you can upgrade your Galaxy. Why they have a 285 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.720 number of different things. So that is just from Horizon. 286 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.519 I have not heard any press releases or what have 287 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.039 you from the other carriers. But because I have contacts, 288 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.039 if I have contacts at companies, I do appreciate them 289 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.159 sharing them with me, and I will share that news 290 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.840 with you. Going back to the other press release from Nicole, 291 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.639 Nicole Nicole's in New York. Nicole releases, Well, she didn't release, 292 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.279 but they have a new Galaxy ring. It's one of 293 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.600 these wearable rings you know that helps with the health. 294 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.320 They start at four hundred dollars and they have two 295 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.799 new watches. They have a Galaxy Watch seven starts at 296 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.840 three hundred dollars and a Galaxy Watch Ultra. That's six 297 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.639 hundred and fifty dollars. That's that's that's quite a tasty 298 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.879 price for a smart watch. I will I will tell 299 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.279 you that. So I don't I cannot give you my 300 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.120 review of the watch, the watches of the ring because 301 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.320 I did not receive those. Maybe they don't work, maybe 302 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.799 they're embarrassed to give them to the media. I cannot 303 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:58.720 comment on that thing. But they're they're good. Every time 304 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.279 I have shown off my Flip six, people say, oh, 305 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.799 I've never seen a flip I'm like, I showed you 306 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.400 one last year when I had the Flip five for 307 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.880 a bit and the Flip four and the Flip three. 308 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.880 They are they are pretty neat, and I think I 309 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.720 think women like them a little bit more just because 310 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.039 the size. They look like a compact and they get 311 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:20.000 bit in your purse and the whole thing like that. 312 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.640 But they are out and that that's that's as of 313 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.640 right now. That seems to be the biggest technology news 314 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.160 of the summer. So if you are interested in what 315 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.640 or you got one, call me and tell me how 316 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.519 you like it. All power with Galaxy AI seven one three, two, 317 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.680 one two five, nine to five o Michael Garfield all 318 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.000 over the country on iHeartRadio's the High Tech Tech and Show, 319 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:48.279 or to come back, just like Wan you always said, 320 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.400 Michael is my name. You don't have to call me 321 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.720 Michael Garth is good. It's G A R F fort 322 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.960 four letters of my last name. 323 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.079 You can hit me up with your. 324 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:00.960 New flip phone if you like answering. Uh, ask me 325 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.720 any questions anything, Ask Michael Lennyth. Not that I'm gonna 326 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.920 answer it. Seven one three two one two five died 327 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.200 in five. Oh. Anybody see the calumn? Did you see 328 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:17.000 the Olympic opening Ceremony? And by the way, it's the 329 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:23.079 official term the Olympic Opening ceremony. It's not ceremonies, just 330 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.279 like it's the Stanley Cup Final. It's the opening ceremony. 331 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.359 You see it. I actually saw, I started watching it. 332 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.680 I liked it. Let me tell you what, I really 333 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.880 don't care about the Olympics. It's just it's whatever I 334 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.759 care about Paris. I've never been to Petty but the 335 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.400 fact that they held the opening ceremony on instead of 336 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:46.400 the walkthrough for the stadium, they put the athletes on 337 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.920 the river sin down boats and they showed it live 338 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.720 as it was actually life usually because it's in such 339 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:58.400 a foreign place, sixteen hours ahead. Paris is seven hours 340 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.240 ahead of Central time here in United States. So at 341 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:05.960 about eleven thirty on Friday afternoon, a Friday morning, I 342 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:08.920 watched it live. Then they repeated it on Friday night, 343 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:12.079 so it actually it was pretty cool. I watched it 344 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.599 on NBC. But I also, because I pay a butt 345 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:22.279 load to Exfinity, like a idiot that I am, I 346 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.279 also get Peacock. And Peacock is carrying up pretty much 347 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.240 almost every single live minute of live coverage of the Olympics. 348 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.200 And so if you have peacock, you might as well 349 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.799 use it because you're probably not going to use it 350 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.799 again unless they have another NFL game, which I think 351 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.039 they are later this year, maybe the day after Thanksgiving. 352 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:43.440 But their peacock is betting big, and I talk about 353 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.799 it's streaming, so bear with me. And this is one 354 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.400 of the things that I do cover peacock. It's betting big. 355 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.440 They have some plan. They launched peacock four years ago 356 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.920 at the Tokyo Olympics. It was twenty twenty. Oh, I'm sorry. 357 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.920 COVID nineteen came around and it just flamed out. After that, 358 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.920 I mean the world had other things to worry about. 359 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.319 But apparently, according to mac Mark Lazarus, the president of Peacock, 360 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.799 they learned their listen and the batty Olympics on Peacock 361 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.759 is it's allegedly going to be everything, every sport, every ceremony, 362 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.359 every NBC broadcast, the works. A lot of it's going 363 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.559 to rely on the IOC FEE, which is the International 364 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.680 Olympic Committee world feed. So if you want to watch 365 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.599 badminton or the canoe sprint, it's going to be somewhere 366 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.359 on Peacock. They're going to have a multiview option and 367 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.039 that's gonna let you watch up till four events at once. 368 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.599 They're gonna have a whip around studio show called the 369 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.160 Gold Zone. And for all you NFL or fans, you're 370 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.880 gonna like this because it's hosted by Scott Hansen. He's 371 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.799 the dude who does that whip around NFL Red Zone 372 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:53.839 and so that's it's called the Gold Zone. That'll be 373 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.839 on Peacock too. The stars are funny, I mean, this 374 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.720 is it's not just a sporting event. Right now. They 375 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:05.319 have shockingly Kevin Hart, because Kevin Hart literally maybe everywhere 376 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.680 a little. That dude is everywhere in the world. Kevin 377 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.279 Hart is there. He's gonna host an Olympics highlight show. 378 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.720 They got some podcaster Alex Cooper never heard of. They 379 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.240 got Snoop Dogg carrying the flame. The opening ceremony not 380 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.920 only had Mike Turrico, but Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning 381 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.319 were the co host. They were the co host of 382 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:31.240 this thing. They're even using an AI version of al 383 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.200 Michaels The Great Broadcast or he is going to have 384 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:39.240 customized Olympic recaps, not the real al Michaels, the artificially 385 00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.680 intelligent ist al Michaels, which he actually signed off on. 386 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.920 I'm interested to see that too. So Peacock is betting 387 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:48.920 a lot on this streaming platform. There's gonna be a 388 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.960 lot of content. And I'll tell you one time, I 389 00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.640 think the depending on where it is, it's never the 390 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.640 same exact dates. One time I think the maybe it 391 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:01.759 was coed it was in September, which butts up into 392 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.319 football seasons. But there's nothing going on. Okay, So for 393 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.359 all you Astros arrangers, fans and whatever like that, you know, 394 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.960 you can kind of go back and forth. Football's over 395 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.400 I know it's kind of training camp, but this is 396 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.279 actually very I believe it or not. Do expect pretty 397 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.039 decent ratings, certainly the highest summer ratings in the past 398 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:23.920 four years, you know, during the pre tow COVID or 399 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.160 at least the last Tokyo Summer Olympics and even the 400 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:28.559 Winter Olympics too that were during COVID. This is going 401 00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.680
