I was walking through the park 14 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:42.880 and a kid like cutting in front of me and 15 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.679 I planted my foot wrong and I stopped immediately, and 16 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.399 I heard a pop in my calf, and I'm like, well, 17 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.719 there goes that calf. It hurt. I did have to 18 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:53.960 get carted out of there because I knew I wasn't 19 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:55.520 gonna be able to walk up the hill back up 20 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.280 to the car. So being that I'm an employee of 21 00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.679 water World, I was like I went to one of 22 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.359 those super advisor is my k can you just get 23 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:02.960 one of the maintenance guys to get one of the 24 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.640 golf carts and just like make me out the back gate, 25 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:07.239 bring me up to my car and they're like, oh, yeah, 26 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.400 no problem. But yeah, I've been wanting to go hiking 27 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.480 with my family and the weekends I can't do that. 28 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.120 But it's getting better solely, So yeah, that was that 29 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.000 was one big thing. But yes, I did a DJ 30 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:18.959 wedding and stuff, so. 31 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.519 That's pretty cool. Well we'll get to that also, Sean. 32 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.239 While you were doing that, Sean had sent me a 33 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.439 picture last week of the control room. Now that's a 34 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.159 control room at Notre Dame. 35 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.760 Yeah. So Saturday we hosted our first home football game 36 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.159 of the season against Northern Illinois University, which we lost. 37 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.239 I can sense the pain in his voice, Yes I can. 38 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:41.519 For those of you who are listening who don't know, 39 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.599 I'm a broadcast engineer for the University of her name, 40 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.280 so I handle the majority of live events that come 41 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.719 out of the university. So note day football. If you're 42 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.280 a fan, I appreciate you. But we're staying right now, so. 43 00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:55.719 I don't say that. 44 00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.959 Yeah, yeah, but I said, I said, Andy I snapped 45 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.200 a picture of control room, which I do typically in 46 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:03.959 all the whole games. 47 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.239 But what is that famous saying about football? It was 48 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.759 the name of a movie. To any given Sunday, on 49 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.400 any given Sunday, Yeah, any well, but for college it's 50 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.960 any even Saturday. But anyway, you get my point. Yeah, 51 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.840 you never know, you never know. 52 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:18.840 Yeah, no, it's it's been a while, you know. In 53 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.599 this this will be this is my seventh football season 54 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.520 and I'm in my sixth full year of working there. 55 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.319 Everybody seventh football season. 56 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:26.599 You know. 57 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.199 He sends me this picture of the control and I 58 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.520 was like, wow, I showed it to Gloriam, look at that. 59 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.520 But I was so excited to see all that equipment 60 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.280 and all those monitors, and I think that's so exciting, Sean, 61 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:37.639 I'd love to do that. And then he sends me 62 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.560 a picture of an empty stadium. Just it's just sadness. 63 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.599 It's just invoked the fielding of sadness. And what did 64 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.400 what did you say in It's something like it wasn't good. 65 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.039 It was a rough day. Yeah, so like you know, 66 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.360 after it's like after this, after the event is over 67 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.199 and everybody's gone, and you know, you can still see 68 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.879 some people out tailgating, like, we still have to strike 69 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.960 all of our gear and get ready for other events. 70 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.680 I had to go down to where the truck, the 71 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.319 NBC truck was and disconnect some gear and stuff. And 72 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.479 the fastest way to get there is to walk across 73 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.039 the field down to the other side of the building. 74 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.319 And it was just like whenever we lose at home, 75 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.719 it's deflating. It's just like there's a there's just a 76 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.360 weird energy in the whole building. 77 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.039 Yeah. 78 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.719 Well, plus this team, there was something going on with 79 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.159 this team too. It was like their first win over 80 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.240 a top twenty five Is that how it worked? 81 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.479 Oh yeah for the Huskies, you know. So for Northern 82 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.319 Illinois was their first ever program win against the top 83 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.360 twenty five ranked team. 84 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.400 Well can you do? Right? 85 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.879 I hope that it's better for Notre Dame and the 86 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.000 upcoming games. 87 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.680 I mean, hang in their champ. 88 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:43.080 You'll get it next time for the Gipper. Now you say, Rudy, oh, Rudy, 89 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.199 Oh boy, I saw that the other day. 90 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.840 I thought of you, all right. 91 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.879 So one of the things that I think is really 92 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.319 exciting is when we get to try new technology and 93 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.639 we know that Justin was pretty enamored with the Pixel 94 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.879 smartphone and the new Pixel nine fold, and we you 95 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.319 had said you had ordered it, but we didn't know 96 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.439 if you were going to get it in Today you 97 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.479 shared a photo on social media that blew me away. 98 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.039 I'm like, no, come on, you did not do that. 99 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.839 Is this something that comes with the Pixel. 100 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.800 Nine Yes, So I'll kind of showcase it here. So 101 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.240 this is the new Pixel ninefold and can open it up. Wow, 102 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.879 look at that, you know, so I really do. Is 103 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.480 there a crease that you see in the middle. 104 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:31.720 There is. 105 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.600 There is a little bit of a crease, and but 106 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:35.000 you kind of get used to you can kind of 107 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.600 see it right there in the middle a little bit 108 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.360 when I tilted, But it is actually when you're looking 109 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.639 at the screen dead on, you really don't notice the crease. 110 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.040 And that was one of my biggest concerns was figuring 111 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.920 out if the crease was going to be bothersome. It's 112 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.319 really not. I do love the wide screen on it. 113 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.519 I especially love it when i'm you know, reading the 114 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.480 latest news and stuff with the builton you know, Pixel 115 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.720 news app and everything. But going back to your question 116 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.959 about this photo, Yeah, so the Pixel nine series, the 117 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.920 Pixel nine the pixel nine XL. Again, they're all pros anyway, 118 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.560 Pixeline pro, pixel nine PROXL, pixel nine pro fold. They 119 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.120 leaned extremely heavily into AI, and so Gemini is Google's 120 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.600 AI platform, And with this particular line of phones, you 121 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.920 can usualize AI in so many different ways. And one 122 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.360 of those ways is if you take a picture, you 123 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.519 can just simply circle around your subject and then say 124 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.199 tell the AI reimagined this photo, and then it will 125 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:39.639 ask you what do you want it to be? And 126 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.959 I can say, you know, reimagine this photo sitting on 127 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.439 a beach, and it just it. It took about ten 128 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.399 seconds and it and it made that picture. Oh my god. 129 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.600 I thought maybe, like you took a picture, you had 130 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.079 to take out the background and then you just put 131 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.680 him in front of a you know, a beach scene, 132 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.000 him relaxing on a beach. 133 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.000 AI was able to do that for you. Yep, everything 134 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.560 about here. But it's my coworker, Anthony, and I just 135 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.000 took a picture of him sitting in his desk chair 136 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:13.360 with his feet up. It literally just it. It was awesome. 137 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.120 I mean, it took too amazing amazing. Yeah, and so 138 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:18.879 I'm really interested to see what else it could do. 139 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.439 But like another thing, another thing I can do is 140 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.800 like if you if you are looking up, like let's 141 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.959 say a set of restaurants or whatever, and you're looking 142 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.920 up and you have a search result of all these 143 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.759 different restaurants, you can just simply say tell the AI, hey, 144 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.279 put these on a map for me, and bam, It'll 145 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.720 just turn open the maps application and put all those 146 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.879 restaurants in that little whatever search list on a map 147 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.480 for you so you don't have to And then also 148 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.160 with the search feature. One cool thing about this is 149 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.120 let's say I'm if I'm looking at something on here 150 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:49.920 and I'm just like, you know what, I really want 151 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.279 to know more about this, but I don't want to 152 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.920 have to type it in. I can just simply raise 153 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.279 up from the bottom if I can do it. Actually, 154 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.560 it's sometimes I got to get the I gotta get 155 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.920 the motion down. I think it's you could circle it, right, 156 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.160 isn't that you circle it? You just circle what you're 157 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.240 looking at and they will then find it for you. 158 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.399 Oh my lord. Yeah, I got to figure out what 159 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.199 the gesture is. Is this going to be standard on all? 160 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.000 So, like if I didn't want to get the fold 161 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.199 or the flip, and I decided I want to get 162 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.560 just a standard you know, pixel nine pixel. 163 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.160 Yeah, it's all it's it's on all of them. That 164 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.160 that Gemini is that what's that's Gemini? Right? Gemini is 165 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.279 the AI for Google. Yes, and that's gonna be it. 166 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.199 Do you have to be a extra for that? No, No, 167 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.680 it comes with the phone, honestly, it comes with it. Yeah. 168 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.160 And being that I'm also a Google five subscriber, so 169 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.319 that's my cellular carrier, and I'm a Google one member, 170 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.480 I got so that the phone itself was I think 171 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.519 it was twenty two hundred dollars. Yes, that's it's it's 172 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.800 their flagship. But because i'm those five member and the 173 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.680 Google one member, I got eight hundred dollars back and 174 00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.560 store credit just for buying the phone. Plus us I 175 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.879 got four hundred and seventy five dollars trade in value 176 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.720 for my old phone. So if you add that up, 177 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.199 the phone ended up only being around what, I don't 178 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.560 know THEO what's seven eight hundred dollars for the phone. 179 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.360 So what I did with that extra money that I 180 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.319 got in instant store credit is I also bought the 181 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.120 pixel Watch three oh, which and now the Pixel Watch 182 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.759 three is different because well it's the latest, it's got 183 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.519 the better processor in it, but it also is forty 184 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:32.000 five millimeters versus forty one millimeters of the last two models. Me, 185 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.879 I have trouble. I'm getting older. I can't really see 186 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.440 up close, so having the larger screen with a larger 187 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.559 font on the watch actually helps me a lot. And 188 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.720 I just got the watch in today, like literally just 189 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.559 a couple hours ago. I got the watch in, so 190 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.440 I'm kind of going through it, but I could already 191 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.840 notice that it is much snappier. It responds so much better. 192 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.960 They've redesigned the interface of it. I'm really liking it. 193 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.279 I really do like this thing. And I've heard a 194 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:04.320 lot of goods stuff about the Pixel nine series, and 195 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.039 then we just had the news what is it today 196 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.720 or yesterday that you know, Apple came out with their 197 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.440 new line of phone. So you know they time these 198 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.879 things to be in conjunction with each other. But I 199 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.399 really really like the Pixel nine series. 200 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.960 Well, the nine is shipping before the iPhone sixteen. I 201 00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.480 mean it's yeah, I mean people already have it. Yeah, 202 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.759 you're not gonna be able to get the sixteen till 203 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.639 the twentieth I believe of this month. Pre Orders were 204 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.519 yesterday they started taking them. And you know a lot 205 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.080 of people that are in that that Apple world have 206 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.879 been saying, Okay, yeah, they're adding AI to it, similar 207 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.360 to what Google has done. But you know, it's I 208 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.200 was reading that they're very late to the game when 209 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.480 it comes to their addition of AI. They're the last 210 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.480 big manufacturer OEM to include AI and their device. 211 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.720 Yep. And I think, you know, man, I just I'm 212 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.080 saying what I've always said before. Apple They just they 213 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.120 take whatever is popular with other carriers and they just 214 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.840 copy it and then they release it as their own, 215 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.919 saying oh, we invented this. This is what they do 216 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.159 all the time. They steal from other manufacturers and they say, oh, 217 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.559 yeah we did this. But no, they're the last ones 218 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.840 to bring AI to phones. 219 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.120 Whose AI is going to be better? Everybody has their opinion. Yeah, 220 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.120 And we talked about this with Slick last week on Siri, 221 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.600 the Alexa, you know, the all the other you know, 222 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.240 different assistants that are out there, and the one that 223 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.000 let's meet out. 224 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.240 All the time has been in the past has been Siri. 225 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.440 I've been I've been really disappointed with the results like 226 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.759 that won't look up certain things or you know, it's 227 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.919 it's just kind of it's been it's been less than 228 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.039 I really wanted. 229 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.559 Well, you know they're saying they're saying that in what 230 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.200 I've read about the Apple AI stuff is that it's 231 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.000 very their tasks are very narrow, right, They're staying within 232 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.879 the Apple ecosystem, So like Siri, it's having Siri focus 233 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.360 on specific, more narrow tasks like reminders, questions, home devices, 234 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.039 that type of things like, instead of broadening out being 235 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.840 more broad where the other you're getting a lot less 236 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.639 functionality out of Apple Ai than you would with Gemini. 237 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:13.200 Or other chat gupte or Claude. Yeah. No, and Google 238 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.679 was that way. Google, not even just a year ago. 239 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.639 Google was that way where I would ask the assistant 240 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.600 a question and half of the time it would tell 241 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.519 me something like, well, I don't know, but I found 242 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.720 these results on the web, and it's like, no, I 243 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.519 don't want to see the web. I want you to 244 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.679 tell me my answer to my question. But now with 245 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.879 the release of Gemini and they really leaned into Gemini, 246 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.480 I'm noticing that I get more results of what I'm 247 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.159 truly asking versus it just telling me I don't know, 248 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.799 here's a web search right exactly, and that you know. 249 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.039 I'll just give you an example last week though, this 250 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:52.840 disappointed me about Google. You know, ways is owned by 251 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:57.360 Google from what I understand, right, And I was trying 252 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.600 to find an area out in the middle of nowhere, 253 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.080 out in uh Coolidge, Florence. I'm looking for a school 254 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.080 and I just followed the directions. It had me going 255 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.399 left and right. I took a dirt road. At some point, 256 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.200 I get up to a major crossroad and it tells 257 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.200 me to go left, and I go left and I 258 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.039 drive about maybe I want to say, a thousand feet, 259 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:22.440 and it says you've reached your destination. 260 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.399 And I'm looking around. There's nothing. 261 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.840 There was nothing like, no buildings, nothing and maybe houses 262 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.559 in the distance. 263 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.360 I'm like, what the heck? So I kept driving. 264 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:33.600 I saw a guy in a work truck and I 265 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.720 thought maybe I should pull over and ask him what 266 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.120 I'm you know, for what I'm looking for? And finally 267 00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:40.879 I got to another highway, so I pulled up. I 268 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.440 went ahead and pulled up Apple Maps, and I said 269 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:48.639 what I was looking for, you know, And unfortunately it 270 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.600 took me five miles out of the area that I 271 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.360 was in, back to that road, back to the dirt road, 272 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.320 back to that crossroad. Except when I got to that crossroad, 273 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.799 it had me turn right and their fifty fifty seventy 274 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.600 five feet away. 275 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.240 Was the school I was looking for. That's interesting. I've 276 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.200 never had that problem. Now, were you using ways or 277 00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:12.519 were you used Google Map? See Ways I've heard is 278 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.039 not as good now. Google does own ways, but they 279 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.879 basically own ways to get the traffic data from them, 280 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.919 because that's what they're known for, is getting that live 281 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:27.480 traffic data, whereas Google Maps is much better in terms 282 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.519 of navigation, and they just rely on the ways for 283 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.399 the traffic data. But why didn't it just. 284 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.840 Tell me turn around? It's what I'm looking for is 285 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:35.320 back there. 286 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.360 It is very interesting because I've i've I've heard so 287 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.320 much about the exact opposite where it's Siri or Apple 288 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.279 Maps that are on that that's the one that's taking 289 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.000 you off the edge of a cliff. 290 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.320 Well, it still took me five miles out of the 291 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.679 way because that was the fixup weird, you know, And 292 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.799 I asked that instead of Google because I thought, well Apples, 293 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.799 and it took me. 294 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.799 Like, way way out there, I was. I was so disappointed. 295 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.080 Luckily I did find it, and for the way home, 296 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.039 I went ahead and I went to Google Maps and 297 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.000 I used that to get home, because again I was 298 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:07.480 taking side roads in the whole bit. 299 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.600 Yeah, the majority of the time when I try or 300 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.000 travel right and call me old school, right, but I 301 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.639 like using Google Maps because it integrates really well with 302 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.399 my Apple Car Play. But I still plug in when 303 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.600 I travel, especially when we're camping and going to some 304 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.639 of these more remote places, I still plug in. I 305 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:26.720 have a garment movie. 306 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:28.840 Oh yeah, yeah, I remember those. Oh yeah yeah. 307 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.399 Because I paid for the perpetual license, I can get 308 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.360 updated maps for the lifetime of the device. 309 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.360 Yeah. 310 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.200 I upload the maps to the USPS and you know, 311 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.039 I just updated it a couple of weeks ago to 312 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:47.519 the newest version of maps and it works flawlessly. So 313 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.240 and there's if anybody has a garment neuvie device or 314 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.120 a garment you can actually get if you plug it 315 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.879 into your computer, you can get different sprites for your 316 00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.960 your your instead of just the regular car. I can 317 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.440 out of the arrow. Yeah, mine's mine's an x wing. 318 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:06.480 Oh nice, Well they do that on uh yeah. 319 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.879 Yeah, they've done it with other voices too, Like we 320 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.960 had Samuel L. Jackson drive me around, which is that 321 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.159 was always fun, but he was always clean, so that 322 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.320 was good. But still I don't know, so you're happy 323 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.600 with that the Pixel nine, I will tell you justin 324 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.399 I took the picture today that you had taken, and 325 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.320 I said it to a friend who has been on 326 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.879 the fence about getting herself a new device, and I said, 327 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.320 look at the picture my friend just took with his 328 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.679 Pixel nine and was able to use the the AI 329 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.399 to recreate a different scenario. 330 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:42.759 Sean. I put those new links in the chat there 331 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.360 for you too, so you can see the picture now. 332 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.240 And what did she say. She went and ordered it. 333 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.480 She did based on that picture, based on the rumor 334 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.799 that has been really good about it. 335 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.480 Now we've talked about the fact that. 336 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.000 The Pixel has had one of the best camera syste 337 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.120 the new iPhone sixteen, which we will we'll get to 338 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.440 in a little bit, that's supposed to have a pretty 339 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.120 good camera ray. However, somebody i'd noticed, one of the 340 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.759 people that had got their hands on it to take 341 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.639 a look at, indicated that the camera system is a 342 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.480 lot like the fourteen a little different than the fifteen 343 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.360 but looked almost similar to the fourteen forty eight make 344 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.519 apixel you know, sensors the whole bit. So you know, 345 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.159 I don't know what Apple is doing in that. 346 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.960 Another really cool feature. And maybe you could also tell 347 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.440 your friend or just have her listen to this show 348 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.759 ordered it. Well, yeah, but the pixel nine has I 349 00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.519 can remember what they call the feature. But let's say, 350 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.759 you know, let's say you've got a trio like a family. 351 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.039 Let's say me and Mesa and Eric, right, and I 352 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.480 want to take a family photo, but there's nobody else around. 353 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.879 What I do is I take a photo of Mesa 354 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.879 and Eric standing there. Then I give her the phone, 355 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.720 I walk into the frame and pretend to put my 356 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.399 arm around where they were standing, and then the camera 357 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.320 automatically stitches the photos together to make it look like 358 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.639 it was one photo. Are you kidding me? Really? 359 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.279 Do you remember when maybe you weren't there, when we 360 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.599 were at the old other radio station at Tucson, And 361 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.839 since I was there, you know, the guy who was 362 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.240 kind of working on the website and doing their their 363 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.240 social media at the time, I needed to take a 364 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.759 picture of the staff, and I have pictures of everybody, 365 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.039 But I had to catch the morning shows because you know, 366 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.279 they leave right away. I had to catch them at 367 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.359 different times and did the same thing with Stags members stags. 368 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.839 I put stags in there, and I brought. 369 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.640 In and I put myself as a little little photo 370 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.160 up in one of the windows. So but I had 371 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.839 to do that all all with photoshop, and it took seriously, 372 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.359 it took, you know, half an hour to an hour 373 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.160 to bring everybody in. 374 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.759 This does it for you? Automatically? Yeah? Automatically. Yeah. You 375 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:50.920 just have to be in the general area of where 376 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.079 you want it to be and then it will just 377 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:53.839 stitch the photos together and make it look like you 378 00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.480 were there. That's pretty dark cool. You're selling me on 379 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.319 it right now. I mean, this is good. Try it 380 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.559 and I'll send you the photo sometime. But I'll have 381 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:04.680 to try it with with Eric or something and to 382 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.119 see what it would be like if I were to 383 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.119 take a picture with him and see. How about for 384 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.160 video mode. You know, I haven't really done a lot 385 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.839 with the video mode. I've done a couple of short 386 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.319 little videos here and there, but I do know that 387 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.559 they have a new night mode video mode, so it 388 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.599 will lower down the contrast, and it helps with low 389 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.279 light videos, which that was a problem in the past 390 00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.480 with with the video mode. Is just a lot of 391 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.960 times it was just too darn dark. Now it'll it'll 392 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:35.799 take it more with it with a tone down so 393 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:36.920 you can actually see better. 394 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:40.880 Well, I will say the and the Samsung Galaxy smartphone 395 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.720 that I looked at, I took a picture in almost 396 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:45.599 zero lighting and it came out great. 397 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.519 So again, you know you Sun does a great phone too. 398 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.799 Both worlds all right. 399 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.599 So so justin say, now you were going from an 400 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.480 Android device to an Android device. If somebody is like 401 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.960
