Yes, we are going 13 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.640 to talk a little about technology. It will guarantee not 14 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.200 to be above your heads, because that's not how I roll.

We've got car reviews, 17 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.840 We've got news about the US China tariff pause. Ironically, 18 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.840 just after I get back from China, what a Cowinki dank, 19 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:34.439 Samsung announces and soon to release their thinnest phone ever. 20 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.680 Thin is good, but is it necessary? And at what price? 21 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.840 And oh my goodness, the streaming wars they are heating up. 22 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.159 They are changing, and if you haven't cut the cable yet, 23 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.439 I'm not going to say what are you waiting for? 24 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.200 But you're getting more reasons to cut that cable as 25 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.879 companies are rolling out and bundling their own products together. 26 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.799 I will take your questions and cause your thoughts about 27 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:01.959 all that stuff. Who knows we probably have some stuff 28 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.719 to give away because it's a radio show man. I'll 29 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.480 tell you what. This is what we do in radio. 30 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.080 How do you I had this conversation the other day. 31 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.680 Somebody was asking me how to start a podcast, and 32 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.199 you know, I'm doing some consulting here. It's you know, 33 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.960 we can come up with the podcast. We could get 34 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.199 a nice production studio facility. We can get some nice microphones, 35 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.800 we can get some mixers, come up with a logo, 36 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.879 come up with a catchy, sexy name. But how do 37 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.560 you get people to listen to it? And I say listen, 38 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.800 I go, I harken back to the day's of radio. 39 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:32.120 Man. 40 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.759 I've been doing this radio thing for well over twenty 41 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:42.280 three years. Radio it's about storytelling. Radio is about personality. 42 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.039 Radio is content. You have to give the listeners something 43 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.479 that is at least semi interesting. They want to hear. 44 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.000 But don't kid yourself. Man, if you give some stuff away, 45 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.840 the phones will light up, and so we shall see. 46 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.159 I have a lot of fun partners and restaurants and 47 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.159 what have you meant? Well, we may give a few 48 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.960 things away, so you never know. I will start with this, 49 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.000 how was your mother's dad? How was Mother's Day? Baby? 50 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.960 Did you get some happy Mother's Day? Doll you mother's 51 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.800 out there and mine included Susan Garfield. I didn't get 52 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.479 her any technology. I don't think she needs technology. She 53 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.800 gave her a gift card to a restaurant in Dallas. 54 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.879 And so if you happen to see my mom, if 55 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.840 anybody has a clue what my mom looks like my parents, 56 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.520 they will go out and use that gift card. Hopefully 57 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.879 they may be listening right now via the iHeartRadio app. 58 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.879 And if so, if you wherever you are listening, it 59 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.479 doesn't matter if you're in San Antonio or Houston or Dallas. Terrestrially, 60 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.000 you can listen on those great radio stations, but you 61 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.719 can also listen all over the world, even in China. 62 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.120 If you're using a VPN. I went over this. You 63 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.120 could just de lug onto the iHeart radio app and 64 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.319 search for Michael Garfield and then or high tech text 65 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.280 and then you should be good to go. Mom's So, 66 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.240 you did you get anything you didn't want? Did you 67 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.840 get a phone that you want to expecting that to 68 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.800 be that phone? Did you get a printer? Did you 69 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.120 get a TV? Did you get a tablet? And you're thinking, nice, 70 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.840 I really don't need it. I didn't want this brand. 71 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.199 This is where you can confide in me.

But if they're not 74 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.079 anywhere around the room right now, pick up the phone, 75 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.639 give me a call.

I 99 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.839 know a lot of mothers in Dallas got a late 100 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.639 on Monday night Mother's Day present with the number one 101 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.639 pick in the NBA draft. Do you see this? I'm 102 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.319 a Maverick fang because I'm from Dallas originally, all right, 103 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.319 they weren't around when I was little they launched. I 104 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.839 was about fifteen years old when Don Carter created the 105 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.680 Dame and bought the Dame. The the whole Mavericks fan. 106 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.279 I'm definitely a Maverick fan. Certainly twenty eleven with Dirk 107 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.639 got the whole World Championship, NBA Championship, which is good. 108 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.600 I'm not saying MAVs are gonna win it again. I 109 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.240 was absolutely like everybody devastated in February with the whole 110 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.959 Luca trade. But now is their hope? Is their hope? 111 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:27.879 And isn't it. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and it's 112 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.639 so funny because I'm a boys up at Dallas, so 113 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.639 you know we're on text chain, you know, Monday night. 114 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.480 Are you getting me? The Mavericks got the number one pick. 115 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.120 This is the greatest thing in the world. We we 116 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.040 lead off our conversations with I'm not a conspiracy theorist, 117 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.079 but it was very interesting. The Mavericks had a one 118 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:50.360 point eight percent chance of landing the number one pick. 119 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.839 One point eight percent chance. Nope, Well, the Mavericks had 120 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.680 a This Maverick had just a wild of a ride 121 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.000 since Tom Cruise flew his F eighteen super Hornet at 122 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.800 low Altahude and a narrow canyon. Because this Maverick was 123 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.319 just as daring and crazy as the Dallas Mavericks. Are 124 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.800 you kidding me? One point eight percent chance? They did 125 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.639 it first time in the history of the MAVs. That 126 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.560 and I'm not gonna say we, because I'm a professional, 127 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.279 we don't use the word we. But the MAVs won it. 128 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.120 They jumped ten spots from where the odds placed them, 129 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.199 the biggest lottery leap in NBA history, and the team 130 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.680 is pretty much almost certain to select Dukes Duke Cooper 131 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.879 flag Listen. I'm a big sports fan. You listen to me. 132 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.439 You know me, you love me, you know I was 133 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.920 at the Final four. I saw Cooper flag play. I 134 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.560 saw him lose to New Jersey of Houston in the 135 00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.519 first round of the Final four. Up. He's a franchise 136 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.199 changing talent. But you look at the Utah Jazz and 137 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.639 Washington Wizards. They had a fourteen percent shot at landing 138 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.959 the top pick. They didn't get in the top four. 139 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:03.120 Improbable conspiracy. I don't know. I'm not gonna go back 140 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:06.079 to the Patrick Ewing. Did David Stern the commissioner back 141 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.360 then you freeze the envelope to get Patrick Stern to 142 00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.959 the Patrick st Patrick Ewing to the New York Knicks. 143 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.600 I'm not gonna go that far. It's just a big kouinkiding, 144 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.480 But who cares. The Mavericks are back. And for all 145 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.560 you Mavericks fan including all you moms out there who 146 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.439 burned your Mavericks gear, burned your jerseys, what are you 147 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.360 gonna do now?

Will they go down? 151 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.240 It looks like they're on pause. What's the deal? And yes, 152 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.320 I am gonna take a little credit for it right here, 153 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.080 I'm gonna take. 154 00:08:45.000 --> 00:09:24.639 Gregson Show. 155 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.159 Brisk miss in May.

I 188 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.399 met their CEOs. It was kind of a fact finding 189 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.440 tour with other tech journalists from around the world, where 190 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.240 we got to see how a lot of these companies 191 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.960 produce their products, do the research and development, and how 192 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.240 in the world can China, along with some other countries too, 193 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.559 how can they make these products so cheap, so inexpensive, 194 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:03.879 and then ship them all around the world. I mean, 195 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.080 so many things in our homes are made from other countries, 196 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.000 certainly China. I saw a stat was the Wall Street Journal. 197 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.200 Ninety nine percent of all toaster rovens in our kitchens 198 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.879 are made in China. Fifty one percent of all gas 199 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.440 stoves are made in China. Blenders, I don't know, was 200 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.480 it seventy percent of all blenders? Are many? I mean, 201 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.039 just goes on and on and on. Well, it was 202 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.320 nice meeting a lot of these companies, and you know 203 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.120 how they market their products here there and sell them 204 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.559 the whole thing. But China has been on our lips 205 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.279 and minds here the United States and vice versa, because 206 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.759 of the possible tariffs that the President of the United 207 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.919 States said he was going to tax and tariff up 208 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.080 to one hundred and forty five percent. Well, guess what happened. 209 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.080 Guess what happened this past Monday. The US and China, 210 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:55.440 they said they agreed to a deal to slash reciprocal 211 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.960 tariffs for now they are the world's too biggest economies. 212 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.799 They want to end the trade war because it really 213 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.159 has disrupted the global outlook and really set financial markets 214 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.480 on the edge. And apparently they got together in Geneva 215 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.480 after I visited China. You know, I had some backdoor dealings. 216 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.279 I was talking to some people. I'm like, you know, 217 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.039 how can we get this because the economy is taking 218 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.240 I mean, from cars to everything. Everybody's freaking out. I'm 219 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.960 blaming the price of eggs. I don't even know who 220 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.039 I've blamed the price of eggs on. 221 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.320 I don't know. 222 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.600 I almost gotten an egg we almost got an egg 223 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:36.919 throwing fight. But at least for ninety days it's done. 224 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.120 So now they've backed down the tears from one hundred 225 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.159 and forty five percent, so I think it's forty percent 226 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.679 from China, and then they are going to teariff the 227 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:52.960 United States ten percent going into China. I know we 228 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.480 as a country of the United States, and I'll say 229 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.679 it again, I love America. I am so red, white, blue, 230 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.399 and burn orange. I bleed it. This is I'm not 231 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:08.559 pro China. Love my country. But there's a lot of 232 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.440 things that are made outside of China that are much 233 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.440 better in the United States. But United States still make 234 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:17.720 some good stuff. What does what does I'm trying to think, 235 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:24.159 what do we make that China imports three four six 236 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.639 twenty nine text and do me a favorit because I 237 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.559 don't want to google. Okay, I can't google and talk. I mean, 238 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.679 i'm I'm i'm ambidexerst but I bet I can go 239 00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:34.000 only go that far. But relatively good news. I don't know. 240 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.919 Did you see prices coming down though? I mean I 241 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.519 see newsday travel? Oh my god. Actually there as a lot 242 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.600 of travels. We've got Memorial Day coming up next weekend, 243 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:49.320 and it's what we've we've got. I saw airline fair. 244 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.919 I saw Southwest Airlines was offering thirty percent off. There 245 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.320 was a there was a kind of a fair sale, 246 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.039 which was good. Actually, I took advantage of that for 247 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.840 a upcoming flight. Uh, but there are tours who are 248 00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.480 now not coming to the United States because they fear 249 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.440 that they're from other countries like Canada ain't coming to 250 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.559 the United States. Canada. There's a lot of Canadians go 251 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:15.159 to New York City in masses. They're staying away other countries, 252 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.440 like yeah, oh my goodness, if I come to the 253 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.200 United States, I'm gonna be detained. It's just and that's 254 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.559 hurting the economy because we there's a lot of cities 255 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.679 that Orlando, as you certainly can imagine, they relying on tourists. 256 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:32.799 So I'm just it's like it's I'm of age that 257 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.120 I love saying, and I don't want to be get 258 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.399 off my lawn guy, but I want to go back 259 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.000 to the days, man, where the trade was just you know, 260 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.320 times were nice and we could ride our bikes at 261 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.879 night and didn't have to worry about anything. We're we're 262 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:48.600 never gonna go there, so anyway, your thoughts and that 263 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:53.360 I'd love to hear from him. Of hopefully this ninety day, 264 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.159 you know, let's let's sim a down period. That's what 265 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.840 we're going to college with the US and China. It 266 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.840 is going to be a long term deal, so we're 267 00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:02.279 not we can just go back and the economy is 268 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.399 going to be okay. Speaking see, No, I'm not gonna 269 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.360 do the old I'm not gonna do the streaming. Give 270 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.080 me about five minutes the next the next epit we're 271 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.399 gonna talk about streaming. Man. By the way, I did 272 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.639 see coming up. I saw a new streaming a movie 273 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.159 that was really straight to I think was it Netflix? 274 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.679 I forgot I even forgot it was. It was great, 275 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:26.720 and I don't see I don't see a lot of 276 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.039 great things. I'm gonna give you a movie to watch. 277 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.159 I'm gonna give you a movie to stream that I 278 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:36.519 really really enjoyed, starring one of my favorite comedians, but 279 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.960 it actually wasn't a comedy. And he guesses and he 280 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:44.039 guesses standby for that. Speaking of shifting, of making things 281 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.759 overseas and shipping him around the world of the United States, 282 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.960 there is a new phone that was just an announce Samsung. 283 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.399 And you know I'm a Samsung guy. I am a 284 00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:59.399 Samsung guy. I have probably sold more Samsung phones over 285 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.440 the past fifteen years. And I've done the show radio 286 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.159 show for twenty three years. Because I am an Android guy. 287 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:09.919 I am not a big fan of Apple. Android. More 288 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.799 users around the world use the Android operating system than 289 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.799 the iPhone system at least two to one, if not 290 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.279 three to one. Fact, look it up, Samsung. Very nice. 291 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:23.559 I got to go to the January earlier this month year, 292 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.000 I went up to Silicon Valley area. I went to 293 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.840 there Samsung Galaxy S twenty five launch event. I'm using 294 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:33.879 the S twenty five Ultra. Love the camera, It's great. 295 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:40.559 At the end of the big event in San Jose, 296 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:47.240 California area, they teased a brand new phone, very very sly. 297 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.679 They showed off one of the thinnest phones Samsung ever made, 298 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.240 and they said it's coming soon. They called it the 299 00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:02.200 Samsung Galaxy Edge. Folks officially just annnounced this past week. 300 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.759 All I got was a press release. If they had 301 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.960 another event, I would invited to. I'm gonna be pis 302 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.839 seed man, because I all I do is talk about it. 303 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.759 I haven't seen it. I haven't touched it, so I 304 00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:18.039 can't give you the hands on review. But they announced it. 305 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:22.359 It starts at eleven hundred bones. Eleven hundred bones all right, 306 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.400 it goes up to twelve hundred dollars or more if 307 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.799 you even want the higher one with even more storage. 308 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.559 It ships on May thirtieth, all right, But it is 309 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.880 from all accounts so thin you can see throw it 310 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:37.119 just like a nice slice of turkey. Now I'm kidding. 311 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.880 I'm kidding you about that as a six point seven 312 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.279 inch screen, which is about obviously if you hold your 313 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.480 phone up, that's generally the the you know what you're 314 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.440 gonna get in terms of the screen size. But it's 315 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.920 just point to two inches stick according to some of 316 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.279 these stats. I'm getting point to two inches stick, right, 317 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.480 and that's slightly less surface area than the current you know, 318 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.119 twenty five Ultra. But it's a full I don't know 319 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.519 what is it about one point one inch thinner. It 320 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.599 weighs just and it says just one sixty three grams. 321 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:16.880 But I'm looking at pictures compared to other phones, and 322 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:20.720 it is thin. It's only got two lenses, two camera lenses, 323 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.480 not three. Very interested to see how this thing works, 324 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.400 because I'm used to three, if not four, lenses on 325 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.799 a Galaxy as twenty five got the same two hundred 326 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.880 mega two hundred megapixel sensor as the S twenty five 327 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.640 Ultra which I love, but Samsung says it captures about 328 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.960 forty percent brighter images in low light situations. Again, haven't 329 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:43.720 seen it. They don't want me to have it. Are 330 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.720 they embarrassed? No clue. I don't know about the battery life. 331 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.680 If you have a thinner phone, you're gonna have a 332 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.200 thinner battery. Is it a smaller battery. These are the 333 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.079 things that I am hoping to one day get my 334 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.079 hands on in try it all right. Saw some announcements 335 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.559 from Verizon a few other mobile carriers. They're gonna cure 336 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.559 the whole thing. But the question is this is we 337 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.400 take a break? Is this important? Is thin to win 338 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.240 important to you? I kind of prefer foldable phones. Actually, 339 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:14.319 let me take the back. I prefer a flippable phone, 340 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.720 not a foldable phone. I like foreign factors. I'm still 341 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.319 gonna put a case. I'd still put a case on 342 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.240 the S twenty five edge. It's gonna make it a 343 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.160 little thicker. But want to hear from you. What would 344 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.359 you like if you had to decide your own phone? 345 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.480 Talk to me, Michael Garfield's the high Tech text and 346 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:33.960 all around the world, Samsung. I'm talking to Michael okay 347 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:55.920 three four six twenty nine text and about the first 348 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.960 hour of this WORI is don winning radio show. It 349 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.119 is Michael Garfield. It's called the High Tech Text and show, 350 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.839 what are you doing this summer? This summer where it's 351 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.480 it's already blazing hot, it's it's it's certainly not memorial there. 352 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.880 We got a week to go before that. And it's 353 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.200 so you used to stay inside and just just watch 354 00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.599 TV and the air conditioning. We're gonna use so much 355 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.480 air conditioning. I hope our freaking Texas power grid holds up. 356 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.039 But that's neither here nor there. Point is should you 357 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.599 stay inside and should you do nothing but just watch 358 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.759 streaming services? I got a movie for you, got a 359 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.440 movie for you. This is I'm just happy to see it. 360 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.119 And actually I don't even have I think it's on Netflix. 361 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.279 I don't even have Netflix. I had to borrow somebody's Netflix. 362 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.440 But that's let's not talk about that. So I saw 363 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.920 a movie and I knew a little about it. It's 364 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:47.880 stars one of my favorite actors who's a very comedic actor. 365 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:53.000 But this wasn't a comedy. Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn. You 366 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.920 think of Vince Vaughn, Man I think of wedding crashers. Yeah, 367 00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.160 I mean you think of swingers. I mean it just 368 00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.759 it goes on and on. Phenomenal stars in this very 369 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.839 sweet movie. It is called Nona's nas. I want you 370 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.519 to check it out. You don't have to check it out. 371 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:11.599 You can do anything you want. Check it out. Nona's 372 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.160 I believe means grandmother an Italian and it's a story. 373 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.920 It's a true story about a dude in Staten Island 374 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:25.799 who's's Italian, grew up with a good Tian grandmother, saw 375 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:28.680 her cooking and everything. Grandmother passed away. His mother passed away. 376 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.319 He opens a restaurant, doesn't have a lot of money, 377 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.799 but it opens a restaurant and he hires real grandmothers 378 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.440 to come in and be chefs and cooks. True story, 379 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.160 and so much so that the actual real dude who 380 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.200 Vince Vaughn plays is it makes a cameo in the movie. 381 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.759 It was a great movie. It was sweet, it was sentimental. Yeah, 382 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.880 I got a little for clympted at the end. It 383 00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:54.480 was it was very nice in Vince Vaughan. Interesting choice 384 00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.480 because to me, he's like boom boom boom, boom boom, Dodgeball, 385 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.200 you know whatever? Got No, he actually did. It was 386 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.839 it was very nice. It's it's really good actors and 387 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.039 actresses in there. So anyway, check that I and I 388 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.319 guess it's on Netflix. I saw another one I got 389 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.559 apparently I was bored with the NBA playoffs this week 390 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:16.440 and I watched Finally, I watched Conclave. Anybody seen that? Callum? 391 00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:20.519 Have you seen Calum Reid producer? Did you see Conclave? Conclave? 392 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:24.759 It's about the Pope and it came out late last year. 393 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.519 It was nominated for a few Academy Awards. It won 394 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.759 like one one award for Adapted Screenplay or something like that. 395 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:35.440 I don't even know. But Raith Fines and Stanley Tucci 396 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.599 and a few other good actors in there. And I watched. 397 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.200 But ever since the Pope Francis died what a month ago, 398 00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.599 a month and a half ago, became very popular on streaming. 399 00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:51.359 So I watched it. It was very Yeah. Now I'm 400 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.079 doing movie reviews. Hey, it's Michael Garfield. Two thumbs up. 401 00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.240
