00:00:44
your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David and this week we've got let's see Mr Beast starting a show on Amazon
00:00:51
Prime I have some thoughts on that that's kind of interesting idea that's happening uh huge Apex Legends hacking Scandal pixel 8A leaks and apple POS
00:01:00
using a Google product in the iPhone and we're going to end with a fun game that I triggered my Google when I said that
00:01:07
we're going to end with a fun game that Adam is calling wish list it's really good you're not going to want to miss it
00:01:14
oh and also we have a correction from last week I just saw that uh last week last
00:01:19
week we were con someone convinced me that the ozone layer was close the hole was it way we're working CL it seems
00:01:26
like there's not even one hole like there's several holes and they're all in varying degree we we really got like
00:01:32
every single part of the ozone layer not every most of them not every single the
00:01:38
correction is the hole is not closed yeah please stop using aerosols if you
00:01:44
if you heard that last episode and went outside with spray cans I started spraying them all over the place that was probably not the move so but we are
00:01:51
we're are we are working on closing it and approximately by 2045 based on our sources it should be
00:01:58
closed keep working everyone more than that statement that
00:02:04
was just based on information we found I'm just I'm staying out of the whole ozone debate we're working towards it
00:02:09
there's a hole trying we don't want to possibly holes my favorite thing is that we use that and I put that as like the
00:02:15
intro for the clip last month and immediately the comments were all you lovely people informing us apologize
00:02:23
which was great I love that yall have our back like that I don't mean to misinform
00:02:28
so information other news now know yeah congrats to Marquez for making the
00:02:35
ultimate frisbee USA worlds team wa so is that the actual Olympics
00:02:40
team so there's no Olympics team this is like a this is a young sport that wishes
00:02:46
they we were in the Olympics they have skateboarding wtim fris I we have break dancing we have what we have all kind
00:02:52
hey let's not on other sports yeah I don't want to start that honestly I'd rather on Ultimate for and ultimate
00:02:57
ultimate has been like a final tender with the Olympic Committee for the past two or three Olympics now very confusing
00:03:04
aspect of that there's many committees yes to to put it simply this is the team
00:03:11
the teams that the United States is putting together to represent the country in an international competition where every other country also puts
00:03:17
together a team to represent their country and then we all go to Australia in in September and try to beat every
00:03:23
other team whoa whoa wo September September no Marquez brutal wait what
00:03:29
nothing Tech happens in September I didn't know that part yeah it's the first week of September um hopefully
00:03:38
nothing Apple if you're listening right now people say that I sound enough like
00:03:43
you that we could probably have me can we deep fake me do the reviews and just deep fake you actually you know the
00:03:49
iPhone comes out first in Australia yeah that's true maybe we just stay there this is really funny I was looking for a
00:03:54
reason to go to Australia many many times a long time ago and at one point the team crispy crew which was like me
00:04:02
judner Austin John and Lou all thought it would be probably kind of a cool idea
00:04:09
to go to the earliest possible time zone Apple Store in the world and be the
00:04:14
first ones to unbox a retail iPhone which I think would have been like one of the coasts of Australia would have
00:04:19
been the first one and so we almost started to plan that and then said never mind then realize everything there can
00:04:26
kill you well and also now embargos exists
00:04:31
other plans are made but you know I've never been to Australia I'm looking forward to it and the team is really sick is it your Sydney that you're going
00:04:36
to do you know it's Gold Coast oh yeah is that on the Eastern side let me just
00:04:41
Google that real quick gold well since we have definitely talked about Marquez playing for USA teams you played for and
00:04:48
world games you've played USA Beach worlds where you represented USA for
00:04:53
beach tournament and you played something called WG correct which is the world games w
00:05:00
that is the world games and you represented a US team but it's based on the club team that won the US
00:05:07
Championship so it's this is actual just picking people from the US and creating a team yeah this one had a specific try
00:05:14
out process and then a selection committee to select the Team USA teams
00:05:20
how do you try out do they just watch you play and they're like that guy has some nice vertical hide yeah you you
00:05:25
have to get invited to a tryy out okay so there's 200 invite
00:05:31
um and it's a long story because I initially was not invited to try out and then I was a late added invite when
00:05:38
other people couldn't make it weight listed yeah so Mar I got weight listed
00:05:44
for college but then they didn't actually end up selecting me after I got we listed yeah do you guys not get
00:05:49
Marquez brownley frisbee highlight compilation shorts on your YouTube feed I get a lot of them I don't I've
00:05:55
probably seen all of them already I get them sometimes but it's usually from the ADL and they're just they make them for
00:06:02
all the players I get them for like all sorts of things and they always have the same caption that kind of rubs me the
00:06:08
wrong way no offense Marquez but it's always like Marquez brownley better at frisbee than YouTube and I'm like yeah
00:06:13
watch it it's my boss you're talking about here you also don't have to compare them like that they're very
00:06:19
different things yeah they're extremely different my favorite actually couldn't be any further ofart than marquez's vertical height does not matter when
00:06:25
he's on camera there was a very funny arttic there's a an ultimate frisbee like blog website called ulti world and
00:06:32
I remember back when we played with each other on Hammerhead so like 2013 there was at the same time a very good
00:06:39
ultimate player who started a YouTube channel based on Ultimate and like amassed a pretty solid following his
00:06:45
name was Brody Smith and then ultiworld made an article that's like the biggest frisbee YouTuber isn't who you think it
00:06:51
is and then it was about Marquez talking about nothing about ultimate but Tech but how much bigger he was than Brody
00:06:58
back then was very weird article a very read that like yeah I guess
00:07:04
Honestly though fire title it that's I'm clicking that I want to read the biggest ultimate YouTuber isn't who I think it
00:07:11
is because I don't think anything about that I have no idea I I've never had that fun well if you're if you're
00:07:17
reading ultiworld decom you're probably thinking if you're in that specific audience yeah no that'll be hopefully uh
00:07:24
not too crazy of a Time speaking of um being a beast on the field here we go
00:07:31
Segway I was trying to do the segue you're trying to what do the segue to the first I'm interested where this is
00:07:36
going though cuz I'm confused Mr Beast oh that was I'm an idiot pretty good I
00:07:42
thought it was pretty good I thought that was smart uh apparently is launching an
00:07:48
Amazon Prime TV series that is supposed to be the biggest game show in the world
00:07:54
biggest single cash prize I think okay from any in the history of TV and
00:08:00
streaming I guess it's one of those things where you say biggest in the world you don't know what you're compar big biggest you like a LeBron stat they
00:08:08
were trying to just have the biggest cash prize the biggest single cash priz which is I think $5 million right M
00:08:13
pretty sick which I'm surprised that that's the biggest cash prize me too kind of I thought it would be bigger it is weird that they say single cash prize
00:08:19
so Wants To Be A Millionaire so what is like $1 million today or $5 million
00:08:25
today is probably about $1 million when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire came out like adjusted for inflation do you
00:08:31
remember the first guy who ever won Who Wants To Be A Millionaire he went through the entire thing and didn't use
00:08:36
a single Lifeline until the last question where he used phone a friend called his dad and said I'm going to win
00:08:41
a million dollars and then won the million dollar it was the most baller move in like game show history wait uh I
00:08:47
have up here uh James huser holh Hower the Jeopardy Legend won $4.5 million but
00:08:56
that's not a single cash prize cuz it was over the course of is insane wind yeah that guy is insane that does make
00:09:02
sense yeah um anyway yeah it's it's going to be very interesting it's it's kind of crazy to see a YouTuber moving
00:09:10
onto traditional media now and it's kind of weird to think about that because in my opinion I think traditional media
00:09:16
needs to move more towards YouTube style media and not the other way around so that's an interesting way of phrasing it
00:09:22
cuz I think and I started to watch the Colin and Samir interview that they just did with him in which he starts to talk
00:09:28
about this a little bit I didn't finish yet so I will say that but go watch that but I think he might not consider it
00:09:35
traditional media quite all the way on the other side of the spectrum obviously YouTube we know what that is and we know
00:09:41
what Jimmy does on YouTube and then there's traditional media which is like
00:09:46
movies films TV and then somewhere in the middle there's like web shows and I
00:09:53
think what they're giving Jimmy the opportunity to do is unlimited budget
00:09:59
crazy eest possible Concepts and takes the restrictions of this has to fit in a
00:10:05
YouTube title and thumbnail off of it so you can do even crazier things that don't necessarily have to perform for a
00:10:11
title and thumbnail and yeah Beast games sounds really cool I just think that's it's kind of somewhere in the middle of
00:10:17
not quite YouTube not quite traditional but still works with I feel like I would almost argue it's more towards
00:10:24
traditional I know it's like streaming but I I think we're at the point now where traditional media is on streaming
00:10:29
and like Prime is certainly trying to be more like that but I just think they're actually picking a good basis of the
00:10:36
show that is closer to what he normally does so it doesn't feel that out of the blue like we've seen YouTubers go to
00:10:42
traditional media it was who started a talk show there's been tons of there was
00:10:48
you're probably thinking of ly saying L yeah a talk show and I like that didn't do quite as well I mean I'm sure it's
00:10:54
still did fine but we don't hear about it quite as much anymore this is like completely taking what Mr Beast does
00:11:00
which is like pit people against each other for a ton of money and it makes sense as a game show and it fits well in
00:11:05
this category but I think Prime would not be happy if you you called them a
00:11:11
web show they definitely want to be considered closer to Legacy Media and
00:11:16
like watching on your TV on the prime app or something like that I think this was uh I don't care if you make Amazon M
00:11:22
but just saying I think uh format wise this was like several hours per
00:11:28
competition instead of one like a Mr Beast video might be 15 minutes long and it's over
00:11:33
and the whole character Arc is in 15 minutes I think this would be like several EP series I think that sounds
00:11:39
really cool kind of like a Love is Blind love Island kind of thing except not romantic yeah like they do a bunch of
00:11:45
like series I think are cool and that's why it feels more towards Legacy Media right um and who says it can't be
00:11:50
romantic there's nothing against the Romantic there are thousand people there chances that people are attracted to
00:11:55
each other are quite I'm trying to figure out what makes it Legacy is it just because of the platform per on I think a series based game show like
00:12:02
feels more Legacy than no you disagree with me no sorry I'm stuck on the idea of like going to a nice dinner party and
00:12:09
like someone serves you like a you know roast chicken and then you're like how'd you guys meet you're like oh we were contestants on Beast games I mean not
00:12:17
say I'm pretty sure Mr Beast already did a thing where two people were locked in a room and I don't they kept talking
00:12:24
afterwards I don't want to start but jimm Mr Beast locked us in our room 100
00:12:29
days I think it was a funny sentence he said he was on the show he's like you're probably wondering why I'm wearing a hazmat suit it's because I have two people trapped in something for like 100
00:12:36
days and I was like that's a casual sentence that only you could say in this exact situation sometimes he sounds like
00:12:42
the guy from Saw or Mr Burns yeah gots I I think that this deal makes a
00:12:48
ton of sense for Amazon though because they they now can have all of the kids
00:12:54
on the planet be like Mom Mom I want to watch this but we need Amazon Prime we
00:12:59
need Prime video this is what Spotify thought they were doing with Joe Rogan right yeah ex it worked it's exclusive
00:13:07
content yeah on a platform with a talent that is really really in high demand
00:13:12
yeah and so people are going to be attracted to go find that content and the only way to do it is to join
00:13:18
Amazon's service yeah well that's what they want I think one other interesting thing in there is at first one you said
00:13:23
that I was like a lot of us have Amazon Prime already but didn't we just talk a few weeks ago about how they're going do
00:13:29
the like either put ads in it or it's another like $3 a month so now they make
00:13:35
a lot more money from the ad release that Banger in there and then there's a new way of making money recently great a
00:13:40
great great point because yeah I would actually you would think that the Target demographic for the show is probably going to be younger kids and if they're
00:13:47
younger kids they probably have parents and if they have parents they probably have Amazon Prime there's a lot of people in the US that have Amazon Prime
00:13:53
yeah yeah but now that they put ads in the content they get to milk all that ad
00:13:58
money oh is there mid rolls They just added ads to Amazon Prime content this
00:14:04
is a trivia question question it's 3 minutes per half an hour of content I believe I don't remember what um yeah
00:14:10
they added ads for Prime video now so you can not pay any more and now you get about 3 minutes per half an hour of ads
00:14:18
during watching streaming content on Prime video or you can pay $3 more a month and then you get no ads which is
00:14:24
wild cuz Amazon Prime already cost a quite a bit they've been slow is Amazon
00:14:30
Prime right it's like 15 how much hundred something a year I thought it was like close well let's just look it
00:14:36
up before I guess 30 times $140 up before we guess what the ozone is around
00:14:41
around 10 12 bucks a month which is like around the same as YouTube premium maybe
00:14:46
within a couple dollars of each other a month it is and you get the like shipping benefits but I would argue
00:14:51
Prime vide library is listen there's some good stuff on Prime video but it's nowhere near as good as Netflix or or
00:14:59
music which is really good actually I don't use it but it's really good really
00:15:05
really I don't trying to remember what makes it good there was something that they did recently it's either the
00:15:12
catalog or the app and I don't think there's any other options it's something about the catalog okay go ahead Ellis oh
00:15:17
I was just thinking you know in the current streaming space there's now like so many players that it's actually like
00:15:24
a reasonably hard like uh field of competitors to like differentiate yourself from so I think it's might be
00:15:32
actually in Amazon's favor for people to think of this more as a web show because
00:15:38
now all of a sudden Amazon is the platform that has the stuff that everyone else has like movies and TV and
00:15:45
they have this other tier that was previously like solely occupied by YouTube I think that's a really good
00:15:51
point the differentiate whether you think it's a web show or Legacy or anything is totally what they're going for because a lot of other streaming
00:15:57
platforms are more after than Prime despite most people having prime already Okay the reason Prime music is good yeah
00:16:05
is because it is part of prime and it basically has all of the same features as Spotify and it doesn't have ads so it's
00:16:12
basically like having Spotify Premium built into built into your Prime subscription just like no one really
00:16:18
knows about it and because it's Amazon I'm guessing the ux is dog water
00:16:24
and and if you want to like send a song to your friend they have to be like what
00:16:29
oh wait I have Amazon Prime I can listen to this I ain't buying this song yeah but they have podcast stations and songs
00:16:35
at no extra cost so I think my biggest question is because they said Jimmy will
00:16:40
be the executive producer of this I'm is is he gonna be the host did he mention that in the cons don't I didn't get that
00:16:47
far but I imagine he'd be hosting I would imagine the host and then I wonder how much more he'll have to do with it because he clearly loves his own channel
00:16:54
and I think that's his first priority so I'm I just when we work with Legacy
00:17:00
Media or like more normal production Crews it's very different for us and a very slow process and as a YouTuber
00:17:07
that's so much different and kind of frustrating sometimes frustrating so like I'm assuming I'm wondering how much
00:17:13
he's going to have to do with it because that feels like he'll take a significant chunk out of his time I think that's going to be the most annoying thing to
00:17:19
Jimmy specifically knowing Jimmy is how quickly and efficiently he is able to
00:17:24
shoot the reality is like it's unscripted content and it's just an idea and once it's going you're just shooting
00:17:30
everything trying to do that with Amazon with a crew that's not his I imagine and
00:17:35
with big ideas that this crew is not used to shooting the lawyers the latency
00:17:41
is going to be so so frustrating but hopefully worth it because I think he's got a bag and he's got a lot of ideas
00:17:47
that he wants to do cool things with this so I'm sure it's going to be worth it in the end but that's going to be the thing that's probably one thing I keep
00:17:53
thinking about with Mr Beast in particular is he's mentioned multiple times how he's gotten to the point now
00:17:59
with his channel where he can't find sponsors big enough willing to like pay for his videos which is one of the reasons why febles is like so important
00:18:05
to him who got the better end of this deal Jimmy I agree Amazon or Jimmy
00:18:12
Amazon loves throwing money at things that don't fully work just spoke about how no one really cares about Amazon
00:18:18
Prime like streaming you know so like now they have Mr Beast they're trying a win for Amazon is probably converting
00:18:24
some number of people to being new Prime subscribers for a long time and I when I
00:18:29
when you ask that question I go back to like who won The Joe Rogan Spotify deal I'd say Joe Rogan I mean it's 100
00:18:36
million dollar yeah to a company that can afford that yeah so I think it really worked out for Spotify too I was
00:18:43
cuz that deal just expired I think just like a few weeks ago just got renewed
00:18:48
right yeah it got renewed but I think that he's available on other platforms now it's not exclusive anymore yeah so
00:18:54
now it's like they're still paying him to be on the platform and it's almost like the rest of the the ation around
00:18:59
that was also earned media attention for Spotify oh definitely and maybe some of
00:19:05
that is the same for Jimmy like Jimmy is now talking about Amazon Prime right and who knows how much that would have cost
00:19:11
them so for Joe Rogan it's like $100 million is a $100 million but yeah you know for Spotify I think it was a really
00:19:17
big thing too because it a lot of the time when I ask people like oh do you listen to podcast they're like yeah and I send them a pocketcast link and
00:19:23
they're like what is this I use Spotify it seems like a lot of people use Spotify for podcast Spotify for all my
00:19:28
podcast is pretty crazy I also want to make a quick Amendment on that Amazon Prime music the free one that comes with
00:19:35
your Prime subscription okay you can't select songs it's like Shuffle only
00:19:40
playlist just like spotif it's just Pandora no that's Spotify free does that
00:19:46
you literally can't like play through are you kidding me it's one of the most pointless products I personally don't I
00:19:53
couldn't do that okay so it's basically Spotify free except it doesn't have ads which is nice okay but that is crazy
00:20:00
I've wow I've never had Spotify free except when it first came out yeah that's nuts yeah me a
00:20:07
rich I paid $2 a month for it yeah one of the one of these2 one of these
00:20:12
Twitter threads came up of like here's a list of the best money I ever spent and I was thinking about that like what's the best money I ever spent and the two
00:20:19
things at the top of my list are one expensive thing and one not expensive thing yeah lasic is the best money I've
00:20:25
ever spent for sure and YouTube premium is the best which is expensive in comparison to every other like streaming
00:20:32
service it's very expensive however time is money the number of ads I don't have
00:20:38
to skip is crazy cuz I log into the autofocus account to upload and I'll be like uploading while browsing in the
00:20:44
background and there's there's just so many ads well occasionally I will go on YouTube in incognito mode because I
00:20:49
don't want it to affect my algorithm when I'm like doing research and stuff and the experience of not having YouTube
00:20:55
premium is insane I cannot believe that people do that every day and I imagine that has just gotten worse and worse and
00:21:00
worse over time yeah I can vouch for that being my top two yeah it's expensive but it's like probably the
00:21:06
best quality of life purchase you can make yeah yeah no I agree so actually the thing I'm going to talk about later
00:21:12
is similar it's way too expensive and I could never not use it anymore but we'll get to that at the end of the episode
00:21:17
okay cool um one more quick story before our first ad break no you no no no no you need a segue right that was my seg
00:21:24
that's no come on I feel like we we're reaching the Apex of this episode yeah well that's you asked for it man I
00:21:32
don't I'm just hacking around here we don't know where we're getting hacking around I I'm not I'm no Legend
00:21:38
of Segways but I see what you um that was three segs I know and now I just
00:21:43
don't even want to talk about it trivia um so there's kind of an an
00:21:48
interesting story that I just want to touch on quickly um you guys all know the game Apex Legends mhm it like really
00:21:54
popular a few years ago it still is very popular but maybe not quite as much it was in the whole Battle Royale crazy
00:21:59
it's like it's fortnite with more running it's it's over it's OverWatch it's Titanfall running it's Titanfall
00:22:06
Battle Royale is what it all of these mean nothing to me well one of them's right and it's me it's kind of OverWatch
00:22:11
right and it's also kind of DOTA I could see it it's not do I mean you're they all have skills they all have skills
00:22:19
which yes I'll give you that one um it anyway so it's it's a battle royale game
00:22:25
everyone knows of a battle royale game right is like x amount of people drop last one wins fortnite corre um so they
00:22:32
were having the North American reg or finals I believe and in the middle of
00:22:37
the finals a bunch of people who were streaming their games just started hacking out of nowhere so like a things
00:22:45
were going on their screens where they can all of a sudden see everybody on the map they were having Aimbot so their gun just like was automatically shooting and
00:22:51
shooting people perfectly in the head every time and like at first when it
00:22:56
only happened to like one person that they saw it kind of felt like have you ever seen the old meme clip of like this
00:23:02
girl streaming Counterstrike and she accidentally shows that she's hacking and then just like randomly starts
00:23:08
blaming it on her friend Clara who installed hacks on her computer she keeps installing things on
00:23:15
yeah yeah it felt like one of those weird excuses like oh this hack just came out of nowhere like I don't know
00:23:20
how it happened but it happened to multiple people in the middle of the tournament they were just all hacking and they were just all like well the
00:23:26
people that it came up to they just quit the game cuz they didn't want they were playing in a team and they didn't want their team to be disqualified and
00:23:34
respawn the company had to wind up uh postponing the entire final because it
00:23:40
happened to so many different people randomly throughout the game that's crazy that there was some sort of
00:23:45
security breach and it literally one guy's screen the little like hack menu came up enabled like two things and then
00:23:52
went away and then he was like I can't look at people it's just like shooting at them so someone was just directly
00:23:57
controlling their somehow they haven't quite figured it out yet um a bunch of
00:24:02
Pros have said they're they're still trying to figure it out I know there's this one streamer still trying to figure out what's going on I know there was one
00:24:09
guy he looked at and at one point it showed like the IP address of the server they were connected to so they're not
00:24:14
sure if something like that happened it's just very strange that in the middle it happened to multiple people
00:24:20
inside the same Lobby because like that's a private lobby that's not
00:24:25
straight or it wasn't local land no they were it was online um yeah and like
00:24:32
respawn still hasn't figured it out there's an anti-che software that some people thought maybe it got into the anti-che software and that's like an
00:24:38
executable F executable file on your computer maybe it went through there um respawn hasn't
00:24:45
exactly said any they did make a response that was like very vague and just like we understand it was a problem
00:24:51
we're trying to figure it out and your securities are highest priority but there's a few Pros out there who are
00:24:57
just like maybe you got shouldn't launch Apex quite yet and this might change by the time it comes out but I just thought
00:25:03
that's wild to affect an entirety of a professional scene finals match yeah
00:25:08
start making all of them cheat and then who knows all the people who aren't Professionals in here if they're is a
00:25:15
like wide security breach just through the software itself you know what the upside is if you were cheating you just
00:25:21
go oh me too oh what's think about that my scream just like them oh oh it's
00:25:27
crazy there it is CL CL the Dota 2 world champions they
00:25:32
championships they do every year called the international um it's always inperson local area network they have
00:25:39
like all of the computers are are supplied by Valve they all have the exact same like keyboard setup and mouse
00:25:45
setup and stuff I think they can use different mindset they're like sponsored by it te that's some that's really interesting because um recently I think
00:25:53
it's valerant I'm not totally sure but there's a keyboard company called woing who's been super popular in the gaming
00:25:59
community and a new thing they were doing is they had to bring their keyboards in get checked and then they
00:26:04
had to be locked in the venue because if they brought them back they're worried they could somehow install hacks on
00:26:10
there so wooting was like yeah that's how some people bring them in they bring them in through their like mouse or
00:26:15
their keyboard and then can put it onto the computer right because you could have you can install like macros on your
00:26:20
cuz that serial bus is universal baby um so woing was like any professional who
00:26:26
has their keyboard that they love locked away inside of a venue right now we'll send you a free one it was like awesome
00:26:31
great marketing for them but yeah it's getting more it's weird how many people will cheat in land in person with people
00:26:38
watching them and still think they can get away with it C that is crazy can you picture the real life Sports equivalent
00:26:43
of this like running onto the field during a game with a syringe like giving someone a quick steroids and be like
00:26:51
Goa I mean it could also be like the like there are shoes in running that
00:26:57
will make you faster I remember reading a wired story about this new these like new Nike running shoes that made people
00:27:03
beat World Records yeah so if you maybe were able to like hide some sort of like
00:27:09
insole inside of the sh I mean like it kind of could imagine some equipment manager in a baseball stadium just
00:27:15
corked all the bats and didn't tell anybody and all of a sudden there were like 18 home runs hit that game no
00:27:21
that's a myth the corked bat being better yeah it's actually much worse and then why but people did people did do
00:27:28
it's because baseball players are not smart but there's like there's like totally like like a bunch of like sports
00:27:34
scientists have put it to the test and it like totally Nerfs your backat which makes it even crazier that people got
00:27:39
out there with cork bats and just crushed those things that's an incredible Placebo yeah that's really f
00:27:45
a World Class you're sure about this I'm sure about this I can't wait for the comments I'm just come triggered by the
00:27:50
ozone dude at that point at that point I would just be an equipment manager and be like hey I quirked your bat you're
00:27:56
going to slay this one and then just watch them crush it oh true well yeah Placebo Placebo is
00:28:03
a hell of a drug maybe they didn't get hacked maybe this was just Placebo and they were really good at at aiming yeah
00:28:10
yeah Placebo does work it's a real thing that's true yeah but yeah no this is this is interesting I think it's
00:28:16
especially because we're now in this world where Esports are very very high
00:28:21
stakes the best sports I mean I do love watching Esports um but it's it's so
00:28:27
different from like traditional Sports in so many ways but you are now vulnerable to all of these technical
00:28:33
like security breaches and flaws and stuff and I think that's why you should do everything in local area network but
00:28:40
um yeah it I online seems weird because then you have to make you have differences in internet speed and all of
00:28:46
this stuff yeah I don't know why I'm sure someone out there who follows the Apex scene does it I think just battle
00:28:51
royale are a lot harder to do because it's 100 players at a time oh so and like generally if you're playing
00:28:57
Counter-Strike or you only need 10 people on the stage where they have done fortnite land stuff they've done stuff
00:29:03
like that but having 100 people on a stage is way harder yeah um just have it in one of those uh Expo Halls where
00:29:09
people just bring all their computers for the overnight Quake games you know like that old um Basse Hunter music
00:29:16
video where they're playing a concert and there's the whole land Center the do the doto one yeah which is about DOTA by
00:29:23
the way that's funny that I just connected those do yeah know the song when you translate it it's like my
00:29:28
girlfriend always wants my attention but I don't want to hang out with her I just want to play DotA well and it like says
00:29:33
things about in the game it's like push pushing mid and like towers and stuff like and the music video is him just
00:29:38
playing DOTA nonstop with a headset on and his girlfriend is like all over him and he's like get away from me I need to
00:29:44
watch that again so funny AER it's DOTA one though which was DOTA Allstar which was a Warcraft 3 mod so it's a pretty
00:29:50
old song shout out to B Hunter yeah that was a good time good time to be alive oh we're going to get copyright
00:29:57
struck now dang it all right well we should take a quick break we got a bunch more Tech to talk about stuff that's out now stuff
00:30:03
that we wish existed so we'll get to that but first let's
00:30:11
do [Music]
00:30:17
trivia previously on waveform we talked about how many famous names in Pro Audio
00:30:23
are now owned by Samsung unfortunately except Bose Bose has a majority of its
00:30:31
non-voting shares owned by what scientific Institute I think I remember
00:30:39
this this is a scientific Institute scientific Institute it does not have like actual
00:30:46
like board control like it can't vote but it does have a majority stake in non
00:30:51
voting which is very cool in my humblest opinion and this doesn't necessarily mean a majority stake in total shares I
00:30:59
was trying to figure that out and I'm not business savvy enough to totally like exactly tell I think they might
00:31:05
actually have a majority of the shares I think so too I think that's correct but they're not allowed to like vote in
00:31:11
shareholder conferences like they're they have to just be like they're just a sugar daddy essentially yeah and they
00:31:17
were also these shares were donated to the Institute which is very cool in my humblest opinion yeah to donate your
00:31:24
company to to science when you're Bose epic baller interesting move well we'll
00:31:31
think on it the answers will be at the end of course like usual and we'll get back to you after the break be right
00:31:44
back this episode is brought to you by visible Wireless okay so visible Wireless is one of our partners and
00:31:49
they're pretty great they asked me to talk about why visible might not be interesting for you pretty refreshing
00:31:56
right so visible based plan was unlimited 5G data on Verizon's Network for 25 bucks a month works great for
00:32:01
lots of people so what's not to love well they're all digital so you do everything from managing your plan to
00:32:07
getting customer service right in their app so if you love to handle everything without ever needing to talk to a human in a store visible is great but if you
00:32:14
need a shop for a new phone in person visible probably isn't for you someone like ryzon might be a better choice if
00:32:19
you want your wireless bundled with a bunch of extra stuff don't switch to visible but heads up you're going to have to pay for that extra stuff visible
00:32:26
is focused on the wirel part of Wireless so if you want more than unlimited 5G data from your Wireless plan and to pay
00:32:32
top dollar for it then by all means don't switch to visible don't even go to visible.com to learn more you get it
00:32:39
rate with service on the visible plan for additional terms and network management practices see visible.com welcome back we have some very fun pixel
00:32:46
8A leaks and rumors thanks to Camila at Android authority who by the way has been on one for the last like year or so
00:32:52
with pixel leaks they got tons and tons of rumors so uh obviously pixel 7 was
00:32:58
already a very very nice upgrade it got official 90 HZ so you didn't have to have it to give it 90 HZ like the 6A did
00:33:05
got that wireless charging and upgraded cameras it was it was pretty pretty good upgrade but then then now the pixel 8A
00:33:12
is apparently going to be like basically a pixel 8 yeah pretty much yeah um
00:33:18
starting off it's got tensor G3 which is pretty awesome because then now all of the pixels all the newest flag FL it's
00:33:25
not even really I mean it's not a flagship technically but yeah it's basically a pixel8 it's the best silicon they've made yeah yeah it's their
00:33:31
highest on Silicon um it's theoretically going to get 120 Herz which again
00:33:36
pushing in all the way up more 4 uh 1400 nits of peak brightness up from a
00:33:41
thousand and it's potentially going to get that display port output support that uh recently got added to the pixel
00:33:48
8 so yeah apparently it's and then it got enabled in an Android 14 beta but
00:33:54
it's not fully out but like the fact that it will have the support for it so when it does actually fully come out I think in the article it said they're
00:34:01
expecting Android 15 to have like the full support of it but okay yeah yeah so I mean this is kind of good news because
00:34:08
the small phone is dead uh but oh rip with the eight the a series is
00:34:13
technically slightly smaller than the regular one slightly is in huge bold
00:34:18
text it's still 0.1 in the screen I do like I dig the curved edges kind of more
00:34:25
than the regular pixel though so like I kind of like that cier has a different aesthetic I wish it was a bit smaller I
00:34:30
also really quickly want to say with the small phone being dead there's a lot of people who are like the Zen phone 10 and
00:34:35
the s24 are basically the same phone I saw that but holding both of them the
00:34:40
Zen phone feels smaller like I went from Zen phone 10 sorry the s24 and it felt like a chunkier phone yeah it does have
00:34:48
way more screen like the screen size doesn't fully because the Zen phone and had bigger bezels and you get more out of it and I love it now but I think the
00:34:56
Zen phone's a smaller phone I think that was that was an underrated thing about this end phone yes it's roughly close to
00:35:01
the same footprint as the s24 but the fact that the display was actually a bit smaller meant that you could reach the corners easier reach it easier it felt
00:35:08
smaller in the hand if I put both of them in your hand with your eyes closed and you didn't feel like the camera bumps are Discerning features like it'
00:35:14
be like this end phone feels like a smaller phone yeah yeah um okay so yeah this to me 88 suggests two things at
00:35:22
least one uh it's going to be more expensive than the 7A right I think it has to be I
00:35:29
wonder this because the pixel 8 recently dropped to under $500 like not off on sale and it's like
00:35:37
it's late enough since the launch that you can lower it to that price but then
00:35:42
if you launch the Aeries and it's the same price or more expensive that doesn't make any sense did the a series
00:35:48
go up last year or is that the year before by $100 I think it feels it would be rough if it went up again yeah after
00:35:56
yeah it's going up from to, 1400 nits it's going up from 90 HZ to 120 HZ it's going up from tensor G2 to G3 it's going
00:36:03
up in screen size it's going up in everything screen size same screen size oh same 6.1 yeah 61 but yeah it's going
00:36:09
up in a bunch of things it would be nice if it's the same what $500 starting price but i' I don't know yeah yeah I
00:36:15
don't know I hope so I'm sure nothing would love if it went up so they could be the $350 phone that yeah feels better
00:36:22
there I don't know it I would guess you said it went up $100 last year I think it went it went to $4.99 and I think it
00:36:30
was I think the 6A was 3.99 6A launched at 449 okay so went $ $50 and then it went
00:36:37
up another it originally started the a series at 350 right yeah how long were
00:36:43
we well at least the 4A was 350 I remember okay yeah yeah if it went up
00:36:49
it's at $4.99 now if it went up again from that that would be insane that would be because because remember the
00:36:55
pixel 8 was what $66.99 yeah starting yeah I really 5 was it$
00:37:00
5.99 no I think it was higher the the wait which one oh the pixel 8 I thought
00:37:07
it did go up I think it went up by $100 oh $6.99 okay it's very confusing when all this mashes together after a while I
00:37:14
forgot about that cuz there's a $300 gap between the pixel 8 and the 8 Pro cuz the seven started at$ 5.99 $5.99
00:37:23
which was crazy that was like one of the best deals ever in smart
00:37:28
it's all flooding back yeah so so yeah the the bass pixel great deal the pro $300 more hard to justify but the other
00:37:35
thing I was going to say this implies is that the pixel 8 has to have even more than the 8A so if we're talking 1400 9
00:37:43
has to have sorry pixel 9 so if we're talking 1,400 nits 120 htz you know
00:37:48
tensor G3 then what is pixel 9 I mean the iPhone is 2,000 nits right it'll
00:37:55
probably be 2,000 nits yeah will it be 14 40 will it be higher refresh rate well what other things will be better
00:38:01
extra camera Samsung added QHD to the regular s24 so they could easily do that
00:38:06
yeah so stuff like that yeah umit to the regular s24 the s24 plus the plus just I
00:38:12
think just the plus cuz I'm pretty sure the space is 1080 but they added QD to the plus got it so that's that's the
00:38:17
other thing I'm thinking like okay what is the higher end pixel going to going to have and what is the price Gap going to be between all three phones in the
00:38:23
lineup cuz again wow $6.99 versus $9.99 to go pixel 8 to pixel 8 Pro and get a
00:38:31
telephoto and not a ton else that could be an interesting comparison though
00:38:37
where if you considered the AA the s24 the 8 the s24 plus and the 8 Pro the
00:38:46
24 Ultra that is a similar lineup where you get the jump in screen resolution
00:38:52
you get a bunch of new things like fair so here's the awkward thing Google is currently selling the pixel 8 for $4.99
00:39:01
on their website so that's the thing about timing like when this phone comes out we're expecting it around Google IO right yeah
00:39:07
like May June Mon and a half from now so will it be smart to buy this new phone
00:39:14
and get maybe some more years of software updates or will it be smart to buy the old Flagship which is already the price we're expecting but will
00:39:21
Google do the thing we're so used to them doing where when they release this they also show something at IO that's
00:39:26
locked software-wise into the 8A for some reason and then won't be available
00:39:31
till the nine and that makes that is the difference between them also and this is crazy currently on the Google Store you
00:39:39
get $200 off and if you join Google F you get $500 back if you in Google F
00:39:45
credits so you basically get the phone for free if you buy and join Google F yeah I over carrier deals are always
00:39:53
like some I'm sure I know they're winning I'm not the one winning with a carrier deal yeah it is it is super
00:39:59
awkward that there's a lot of deals like that and it's going to be around the same price will it go up when the 8A
00:40:05
comes out I doubt it or but it is it is super weird that the a comes out like
00:40:11
six months after the regular one because just the life cycle of phones I agree phones get so much cheaper so fast like
00:40:18
within two months of being launched there's already a $200 off deal somewhere I feel like I've always said
00:40:24
it should just come out with the regular lineup yeah as the it's it's also so weird watching like the cheaper quote
00:40:31
unquote worse phone coming out after the like Flagship version of it being on the same number yeah the numbers thing is
00:40:38
weird it's very confusing it's weird that they're on the 7A right now but the eights have been out for half a year pull Samsung and just be like all right
00:40:43
this is the pixel something yeah pixel X pixel X um yeah I wanted just bring up
00:40:52
sorry I interrupted goad because of the display port output thing just because everyone always asks about decks and a
00:40:58
certain someone in this office started using decks the other day I wanted to know how it's going I love it I'm a de
00:41:05
boy now I'm fully converted tell me one thing you use it for writing scripts got
00:41:11
it so fully converted right fully convert I walk in in the morning I drop my backpack by the by the by my desk I
00:41:18
just walk into our little like gaming setup and plug in my phone which has a monitor has a keyboard has a mouse
00:41:24
already attached and I just work there until everyone shows up which is usually Andrew at like
00:41:30
8:30 I actually would like to see your deck set up MH yeah yeah there was one interesting thing about the setup though
00:41:36
which was you were using it on this like ultrawide Monitor and you said you had to download a specific thing for that
00:41:42
resolution and it's still was like stretched on it cuz we have like an ultra Ultra wide monitor in there it's
00:41:48
like Advanced wide it's not just regular wide it's like 6X 24 it's ridiculous so there's an app you have to download a
00:41:54
separate app that you have to go into the settings to enable it to be like 4K widecreen which is fine for most 4K
00:42:00
widescreen like monitors we have this crazy Behemoth in there so even that wasn't wide enough so everything's a
00:42:05
little stretched but when I go home and plug it into my desk at home it's completely fine another use case for you
00:42:11
while I'm on my Dex tie ra now yesterday we did a special interview episode I'm
00:42:17
not going to spoil it here Dexter day Dexter day I was uploading all of the f
00:42:22
or i was importing all of the files to my computer and it was like 515 5:30 and I had to go home it still said it had an
00:42:29
hour to import and then after that I had to upload it to Dropbox which I knew was going to take forever so what I did was
00:42:36
I just left my computer on I went home plugged in my decks remoted into my work labtop and kept working from home you
00:42:43
could remote in from your de I remoted in and started uploading from your deex from decks this is the future the n and
00:42:49
then I started uploading the files two Dropbox left it going overnight came this morning completely good wow that's
00:42:54
crazy yeah huh I know that you had mentioned to me that you you were able to like you had the the phone connected
00:43:01
and you took a picture and then you were able to just like upload it because use your phone yeah yeah that's great very
00:43:06
cool good use case I did recently notice that slack added a feature where if you
00:43:12
start if you upload a photo on your phone before you even hit send and it's like uploaded when you look on your
00:43:19
computer it'll have been the draft is there which is really really handy slack
00:43:24
as an Android User slack is my way of trans transferring pictures between my phone and my Mac I used to use tegram
00:43:31
for that yeah there's still I mean nearby share is better it's not called n share it's called Quick Share now which
00:43:37
is also a Samsung thing that now became a Google thing because of their weird relationship um that is getting better
00:43:43
but I still andreid just needs it needs that seamless list that uh that airdrop has
00:43:49
well and I'm also doing it to a Mac computer which makes that's the problem yeah there is that hack that we made the shorts about where you can like you can
00:43:56
now Quick Share to a Mac and you can airdrop to an Android phone with two
00:44:02
different applications why I need a hack when you can use a slack true
00:44:07
that's sell make a t-shirt crazy that you just
00:44:13
someone get Salesforce on the phone right now that helps after my horrible segue from earlier in the episode but
00:44:18
you still need a segue for this one like the mobility well who's going to intro
00:44:24
it speaking of I like how the default segu like I
00:44:31
have it speaking of uh Google and Android Google and apple stuff working
00:44:37
together yeah come on that's speaking of Google and Android stuff working together there are rumors
00:44:44
of Apple being in talks to let Gemini power future iPhone AI features which is
00:44:52
fascinating because I we had I have this whole thought that's been brewing for a while in a video I've been working on
00:44:58
which is on all the AI stuff already happening versus how we expect Google
00:45:03
and apple to counter what's happening right but also stuff it's it's hard to
00:45:10
ignore how bad Siri has been for so long and does Apple even care to make Siri better when they've had this long to
00:45:16
improve it and haven't done anything and now to see this it's like oh that kind of solidifies in my mind that uh Apple
00:45:24
doesn't also care about Siri nearly nearly as much as I was hoping it interesting because I feel like Transformers are the primary like thing
00:45:31
that really brought this new AI Revolution to the Forefront and the thing that Transformers are the best at
00:45:37
as are natural language processing through contextual understanding and that is the simplest easiest possible
00:45:43
thing to add to an assistant which now Google doesn't want to just add it to the assistant because they're worried
00:45:49
about it either not working or something so now you got Gemini and you got Google Assistant which you have to decide on
00:45:55
which to use with your assistant button can now be the Gemini or it can be Google assistant and Gemini does some
00:46:00
things that Google Assistant does but not everything and then Google Assistant can turn on your lights and that's about it so it's kind of like you know it can
00:46:07
open apps and do things like quickly and locally and and all all the former stuff but yeah it's it's weird and confusing
00:46:12
it's weird but yeah it seems like if if Apple wanted to make Siri better with
00:46:19
Transformer they would have done it by now you would have thought that they would have done it by now it is confusing though because the rumor when
00:46:25
the Apple car got canell was that a bunch of them were getting moved into like AI stuff which I know doesn't
00:46:31
there's a million AI things they're probably doing I have watched a bunch of videos recently about how Apple has been
00:46:36
like quietly assembling like a huge huge AI lead without but they haven't just
00:46:42
they just haven't released anything yet like for a few years now they've been acquiring small AI companies yeah but
00:46:49
haven't we heard that about another company for that about a lot of things Apple does what well that's what we've
00:46:54
been saying about Google for years is a i company they always have been I know but that same thing of like they've been
00:47:00
they have this massive lead on everyone they just haven't deployed it yet and then Gemini comes out and it's like um I
00:47:06
mean Google always has had like Google's been using Transformers since that paper was published in 2017 it's just that
00:47:12
they weren't like they didn't feel incentivized to actually make products
00:47:17
using it until open AI scared the hell out of them and I think Ellis's talking about yeah open Ai and then like Bard we
00:47:24
were all talking about how Bard was maybe a little more like safe versus like open AI the the early stuff of just
00:47:31
like absolute chaos just going crazy just be
00:47:36
like get me out of this L game there's there's also the part about Apple
00:47:42
because Apple does this all the time too they'll acquire a bunch of talent and secretly start working on something and then nothing nothing happens nothing
00:47:49
yeah yeah I mean that's totally possible the interesting thing with them using uh Google and Gemini is that Apple very
00:47:56
rarely outsources anything the biggest example of this obviously is Google search which they have been paying
00:48:01
Google like $3 billion a year vice versa sorry Google's been paying a billion or
00:48:07
two billion something and I think Apple definitely has a search engine that they
00:48:13
could just press Deploy on at any time right but they have done the calculus
00:48:18
that Google is probably going to be a better product and it just makes more sense to get paid by Google than to have
00:48:24
to deal with running a search engine on the Lally just going to ask that in this particular situation who's paying who I
00:48:30
wanted to know that's exactly what I wanted to know it feels like the obvious is Apple's paying Google to use their thing but like at any like Google's
00:48:38
paying Apple to use Google search as the default like do you know how great it is to be on that many iPhones so who is
00:48:45
paying the most awkward I would guess that Apple's paying Google because the most awkward thing about this whole uh
00:48:51
AI thing for apple is that you need a cpet of training data and Google has all
00:48:56
the world's information for training data and Apple's entire brand ethos is
00:49:02
security and your information staying locally on your device and I would bet you that they don't have nearly as much
00:49:08
access to information that they can just scrape to develop like large language models or any of the other types of
00:49:14
stuff so it makes a lot more sense for them to just license Google stuff it's just wild that Apple would license
00:49:19
anything a good point yeah it's it's also funny to think about like who wins this deal because if you're Google and
00:49:24
you don't do this deal then you're like ha Android phones have it and iPhone doesn't have it therefore win for
00:49:32
Android phones but on the other hand you're like we want the whole world to use Gemini we want everyone to find this
00:49:38
to be the default and to prove that our lead in AI is actually worth something so we want every iPhone user to use the
00:49:43
Gemini stuff so they also want it to be on the iPhone so do they want it not on the iPhone or on the iPhone it's which
00:49:49
part's which hand's going to win here I'd say Google definitely wants it on the iPhone I think they do want it yeah yeah but having search on the iPhone
00:49:56
benefited Google because they were able to use everything they learned from IOS users from Safari users because they
00:50:03
made a crapo of money from infinite traffic Gemini is not learning from IOS users it they already have their data no
00:50:10
but if they're the foundational model for like what most companies are using I feel like that's a big lead for them but
00:50:17
I think that's why David's saying that that's why apple is probably paying Google because Google's not getting as
00:50:22
much out of it if it's all locally stored stuff and they can't learn quite as much right you're saying that sense I would love to be a
00:50:30
fly on the wall in that meeting with like Tim and Sundar like hey there was actually a photo that was going around
00:50:36
do you know that really old photo of Tim Cook and Sun Pai like having din in
00:50:41
Mountain View or something that went around recently again with a bunch of captions like yes we can now just the
00:50:48
funny one was like how do we get Sam Alman fired a second
00:50:53
time uh yeah this this it's fascinating it'll be interesting watch this one yeah um the other interesting thing about
00:50:59
this is that apple is probably most likely developing a lot of AI based stuff for local use on iPhones but they
00:51:06
need to Outsource things that are cloud-based and most of the cloud-based stuff is going to be like Gemini Ultra
00:51:13
that kind of stuff yeah in the article it said like some features so I'm interested how much this is going to
00:51:19
take over what we're going to see it in if we'll see an announcement at WWDC this year maybe that like the timing
00:51:24
might make sense if we're getting leaks about it now so maybe that's when we figure it out and seeing it in like iOS
00:51:30
18 but I'm probably more excited for this wwc than I have been for many many
00:51:36
wwc's there's been several wwcs in a row where I'm like this is the one where Apple will finally say something about
00:51:42
Ai and then they're like auto correct on the keyboard it's better with AI moving on they they didn't even say they said
00:51:48
Transformers yeah they never say AI they never say you know GPT or anything like that but I I just feel like this is
00:51:53
another one where I'm like okay if Siri is going to get this is the one where it to get better
00:51:59
right I think so yeah I'll be watching burned yeah there was a really really
00:52:04
interesting article about all of the stuff that's happened on the Siri teams and a bunch of like infighting and
00:52:10
people just like having different ideas of which direction it should go and a huge reason why Siri has never gotten
00:52:15
better is just because everyone that works on the Siri team is just cursed apparently like there's this weird
00:52:21
internal like story about a Siri curse oh so yeah I'll have I'll have find that
00:52:27
but it's like a hex yeah like yeah like a hex and a long form episode was boring
00:52:33
actually honestly it's a great idea it's a great idea um yeah I mean last year at the wwc we got the Vision Pro you know
00:52:39
but yeah it'll be hard to top that one yeah they just have to add group group exercises which they won't do which they
00:52:45
won't and I have a new Theory as to why they won't do that and that you'll you'll find out about that in April
00:52:51
please tell it to me off camera I will but yeah very very interesting especially because apparently GPT 55
00:52:57
this just came out this morning is only a few months away from deployment we're not slowing down are we yeah I mean I
00:53:03
remember when GPT 4 came out and everyone was like when ggp gp5 when gp5 and samman was like y'all calm down
00:53:10
we're not really working on it right now but I think now that there are a bunch of players in the market and everyone
00:53:17
actually has to compete and all of the board members at open AI who were keeping it under control are gone um Sam
00:53:23
alman's like send that let's go baby we're skipping five straight to six GPT
00:53:30
24 coming out soon no gp9 only gptx uh yeah so he says it's a a fairly
00:53:37
substantial improve or not not he says the rumor says it's a fairly sub substantial Improvement obviously
00:53:43
they're going to say that but I do wonder what that means I wonder if they make a multimodal uh AI similar to Gemini cu no
00:53:51
one else is really doing that right now so was it oh no who the sore interview
00:53:56
that Joanna did where she asked what it trained with Mira mirti MTI that if you haven't seen that
00:54:03
interview go watch it it's hilarious I love the memes that came out of that it's very funny sorry deir I'm sure
00:54:09
she's a very wonderful person there's a lot of photos of Joanna again not missing though you know how we have uh
00:54:14
running bets on way for I would like to create one okay okay I think when they
00:54:20
get to gpt1 they'll call it gptx 100% I think that they will they'll skip nine
00:54:25
as well I don't know about that but I know that they'll call it gptx instead of 10 GTX gptx we can just sort of put a
00:54:32
pin in that for like six months be we be called X exactly what I was just going
00:54:37
to say OS 10 but it's an X or iPhone 10 but it's an x x sounds cool and people
00:54:43
like X yeah but X is taken now yeah but gptx think about like out loud GPT have
00:54:49
you tried gptx yeah that sounds cool oh and then the next one would just be 11 we'll way back to the regular
00:54:55
numbers that moment that moment will happen what if they just do GPT like when they stop doing wasn't it like iPad
00:55:02
they just brought it's just the iPad again thing is that the numbers don't really mean yeah they don't matter but
00:55:08
they get the headline every time so they're going to keep the numbers going I think yeah all they have to do is say next number and significant upgrade cuz
00:55:16
it's like Android like every year it was like Android 5.0 you're like dang cuz we
00:55:21
had 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 when we got 5.0 it was like all the headlines would come
00:55:26
and weat now we get a new and it's like this could just be
00:55:32
A1 there very little changing here but because it's a new version number it's like all right headline it up we'll talk
00:55:38
about it yeah so they're going to keep the numbers I think and they got rid of the candy yeah the sweets the desserts
00:55:44
yeah unfortunately speaking of dessert it's quite a treat that you guys get to have
00:55:50
some trivia trivia trivia like where are we going that so
00:55:56
smooth and then it wasn't and then it kind of was again okay so we've been talking a lot about two giant tech
00:56:02
companies Apple and Google Apple and Google AG Safari and chrome SC what I
00:56:10
was just oh okay okay well the Safari browser is based on webkit Chrome and all other chromium
00:56:17
browsers are based on what what I was going to say chromium is
00:56:24
it not chromium what is the engine that it's based on called so they are chromium based browsers like Chrome yeah
00:56:31
Arc uh uh Edge Edge thank you well we'll we'll think about that one and uh we'll
00:56:38
come back after the break be right [Music]
00:56:47
back welcome back and now we are going to do a different segment that I'm going
00:56:53
to call wish list and basically everyone has picked a product or software product Hardware
00:56:59
product doesn't matter a product or multiple products I don't know we'll see where they're going to have one or two
00:57:04
things that they want that will make that product better we don't know what the other person is picking so these are
00:57:09
all real time reactions to the stupid ideas that everyone has right I have exclusively great
00:57:16
ideas exclusively that were exclusiv Tak from me great yeah no I've got nothing
00:57:22
but bangers on this list I've got a list too so we can go through we can go through them kind of quickz mine are like item that I like but thing that
00:57:29
should be better about it mhm that makes sense which is how it should be right yeah that's the game okay here's my first one ready don't you dare MX Master
00:57:36
2s or whatever we're on three 3s three s But Metal instead of plastic metal make
00:57:43
it high quality isn't it rubber it's already so heavy yeah do you want to be heavier you can make it like thin metal
00:57:49
true yeah interesting I wouldn't hate that cuz I'm not gaming I don't need it to be super lightweight I don't need the
00:57:55
super lightweight Mouse I just want cuz it looks disgusting after like a year that's true and I think if it had like a nice carbon fiber or metal or something
00:58:03
on the outside are already metal lots of keyboards have metal keys yeah but you don't move the keyboard around like this
00:58:08
all the time that's fair but when I edit I'm not I mean I have this the scroll wheel is great like the mouse is great I don't move it quickly that often I just
00:58:15
I just want it to be made of metal and not look gross interesting yeah I like it you can agree with it's great it's a
00:58:21
great a banger you I I clean my
00:58:27
Master with 90% isopropyl and a paper towel and it cleans up pretty well like
00:58:32
I might try that does that strip anything off the stuff come off it hasn't stripped it I've only done it a handful of times so I can't say whether
00:58:40
super repeated use would begin to degrade the plastic but I'm going to do that then yeah I would definitely use
00:58:46
90% too and not the 70% cuz that came for me looking at my mouse and being like G I've taken like an MX Master for
00:58:54
like a top down shop before and there's only like two in the studio that are not disgusting like with a red camera so
00:59:02
okay that's totally reasonable you want to like rotate around and do a bunch of other people's can I go next yeah sure all right so hey everybody Ellis here so
00:59:10
this morning God in the studio went to take some screen recordings of the Apple Sports feature that I'm about to talk
00:59:16
about and uh they fixed it um I guess last night or a few days ago they fixed
00:59:23
it but now when you go on Apple Sports on iPhone Mini it uh displays
00:59:30
everything correctly so I got to see just how bad my 76ers lost to the Suns
00:59:37
last night uh so yeah pretty much ignore everything I'm about to say so the
00:59:44
oldest support supported iPhone is like six you mean it's still getting updates
00:59:50
yeah yeah yeah that apple is like we support this device you can reasonably own this it's like 6 years ago it's like
00:59:55
iPhone x X XR right 10 damn right well you you said chat gptx skip n so let's
01:00:03
not there wasn't a n9th iPhone either yeah there was window you didn't say gpt1 you said gptx and well yeah but
01:00:10
it's also the 10th one but we I'm just kidding anyway what does
01:00:16
support mean right it means like if Apple puts out an app if Apple puts out every time I go on a date I ass it's an
01:00:22
official Apple app it should work on all supported iPhones right yeah you would
01:00:28
you would hope so there's a lot of bad examples of that not being true well here's one yeah I'm a sports guy I like
01:00:35
sports sports fans so I got Apple Sports when they came when it came I was like great don't need to go to Google I have
01:00:40
an iPhone Mini it is literally unusable
01:00:45
on an iPhone Min literally unusable which sucks because it seems like such a great out and when I say unusable it's
01:00:51
because when there's not enough space on the screen to display someone's name instead of doing like all the letters
01:00:57
they can fit and then dot dot dot they just replace the entire word with dots
01:01:03
so I open the box score of a basketball game and I see stats all the numbers no
01:01:10
no I see all the numbers and nobody's name is listed so I have no idea who
01:01:15
scored what or one oh my gosh can you click into it no no that is the final landing page
01:01:24
with literally no it's Lally I'm assuming it's because my
01:01:31
phone is narrower most iones so and they just literally assumed I guess they were
01:01:37
like oh I only people who don't like sports own iPhone Min I guess I don't know there's lots of apps that are like
01:01:44
that on an iPhone Mini that like oh the one button I need to press especially in Safari you know which I understand if
01:01:50
you're a web designer you're not doing it for this little iPhone but come on Apple like this is your app and your
01:01:57
phone that's only like what three iPhones old we need screenshots for sure
01:02:03
oh no the screens shots are I think I put one in slack uh a little bit ago anyway that's my I've been mad about
01:02:09
this since Apple Sports came out and uh if you have an iPhone Mini and like basketball tweet me I don't have Twitter
01:02:16
right now so your wish list is fix yeah yeah so I can use the app I have a very
01:02:21
obvious one that I don't know why it's been added but it's also Google so that tracks um Google Docs does not have
01:02:30
block quote formatting and you have to use yeah what does that mean oh so you have to use uh
01:02:37
increase the increase indent function inside of Google docs but if you have a quote from a person and you want to like
01:02:44
you know show it that it's a quote there's no block quote formatting option
01:02:49
that's so stupid which seems insane to me this has been out forever can I say another Google piece of software or web
01:02:56
based thing that's messed up which very obvious sure Google Tasks inside of your
01:03:02
Gmail you change the if you change the theme to it I'm just in black the black
01:03:08
theme or dark mode theme and the Google task is just bright white on the side of the screen it's infuriating that is a
01:03:14
weird one Google task is one of those apps that they forget about for like four years at a time and then one random
01:03:19
PM is like oh yeah we've got that they update it like temporarily and then four years to go by again yeah it's okay
01:03:26
along those same lines I have another one Google keep formatting in the notes I love Google keep doesn't do anything
01:03:33
it's either all checkboxes or all text you can't have an H2 and a paragraph and
01:03:39
oh before you start yelling at me in the comments I'm I stand corrected you can do it on Android you can't do it on web
01:03:45
or on iOS that's even weird it's so weird I don't no so like if you I'm trying to
01:03:51
make a grocery list and I want to like put the name of the grocery store and then a list of the items I need from that grocery store because I do multiple
01:03:58
places you know Costco regular grocery store Farmers Market can't do it it just turns it all into check boxes you need
01:04:04
three notes now yeah I see here's what you got to do you got to you got to uh indent the check boxes I put a blank
01:04:10
checkbox in between that's an awful that's not fix I just said an alarm
01:04:17
but that is a good one okay that's okay back to Marquez okay here here's hear me
01:04:23
out mhm Sigma 24 to35 okay for for listeners this is a
01:04:30
lens this is this is a c lens we use full frame covers the whole sensor not a male but instead it's 18 to
01:04:39
50 so bigger yeah a wider range wait they don't have that yeah is it 16 to 35
01:04:46
they have a crop sensor 18 to 35 oh but the only one that covers a full frame
01:04:51
sensor is 24 to 35 which sounds nice but that's not a lot of Zoom that's 11 mm
01:04:57
a wide midwide just a little range with the same focal like same T2 through the
01:05:05
whole thing I would love that to exist I like that and sigma you I bet you could do that that's weird to me that doesn't
01:05:12
exist that lens has existed for like a decade yeah it's been one of the best lenses despite that lack of range so I
01:05:19
would really like uh I would really like that they have like a 50 to 100 they have like a couple other wider ones but just if if they made that f range I
01:05:26
would just use that for just almost everything yeah Alice you got another
01:05:31
oneis no okay I only thought of one real one but I'm throwing a couple extra small ones I
01:05:37
got a list baby oh my gosh oh sorry I just realized my next one is
01:05:44
really good David okay what did you just Brain Blast okay Brain Blast yeah I had
01:05:50
a physical reaction to that one um the Nike run Club app is um
01:05:56
shall we say a steaming pile of dog water for many reasons it actually has a
01:06:02
lot of good things going for it uh but the absolute worst part about the Nike
01:06:08
run Club app is if you are wearing a smartwatch that has Nike run Club on it
01:06:14
and by the way every Apple watch that you purchase it's not pre-installed but
01:06:19
there are Nike rug Club settings in the settings already even when you don't have it installed and there's an install button within the set settings so
01:06:26
clearly apple and Nike are like come on guys let's like download Nike run Club there I wanted a Nike watch face and I
01:06:32
tried to like it was just in my watch app and I hit add it and it was like oh you don't have the Nike run run Club app
01:06:38
and I was like what it's a wow yeah so the worst part about that app is that if
01:06:45
you are running with the watch but you start the run on your phone in the in the Nike run Club app on your phone
01:06:51
it'll show the metrics on your watch but it won't use your watch for tracking it
01:06:56
only uses your phone for tracking so be me scenario you're running on you're
01:07:03
running outside or running on tread right your phone large interface pretty decent interface their interface is good
01:07:09
a lot of like big buttons and stuff the watch interface for the app is pretty bad it's like you've got four screens
01:07:15
you have to scroll a lot there's like a lot of hidden settings it's not great so clearly I want to you know start Spotify
01:07:21
on my phone and then I want to go to the Nike run Club app and say I want to do this run hit start on the watch it'll say this is how far
01:07:28
you've gone it'll say this is how many calories you've burned but it's taking all of that information from the phone I
01:07:35
have to hold my phone in my hand and the watch which is way better at tracking
01:07:40
because it's also taking my uh heart rate like all that stuff makes it more
01:07:46
accurate for how many calories you've burned and all that stuff it's got dual band GPS where you might not have an iPhone that has Doan GPS uh it just
01:07:53
tracks from the phone so the only way to be able to track from your watch is to
01:07:58
is to download The Run onto your watch and start the run on your watch and if you do that that means that you have to
01:08:04
connect your headphones to your watch which is really annoying already then you have to go into Spotify or apple
01:08:11
music on your watch start playing music from Spotify or apple music with your headphones connected to your watch and
01:08:17
then start the Nike run Club app on your watch and if you do anything on your phone while you're on the run while you're on the treadmill or whatever your
01:08:24
headphones will be like I'm confused do you want to talk to the phone or do you want to talk to the watch and then the Nike run Club app just like all of the
01:08:31
voice commands just Disappear Completely and it just breaks so it's bad for a lot
01:08:36
of reasons and it's super super buggy but the number one thing that I think they need to change is if it recognizes
01:08:42
that you are wearing a smartwatch that has the Nike run Club app on it connected to the phone already show your metric already it still it opens like
01:08:50
automatically when you start the run on your phone it needs to track from your phone even if the headphones are
01:08:56
connected to your your your phone yeah pretty straightforward that's that's complex but come it's like it's the the
01:09:03
simplest you just say is there a watch on the person's wrist yes okay cool it's
01:09:09
not that hard anyway yeah that does sound extremely annoying it's so
01:09:14
annoying it's so annoying I have way simpler ones on my list okay well my next one's pretty ranty it's something
01:09:21
that I realized I've been arguing with myself about for a long time and when Adam posted this was like I can finally
01:09:27
vent about this so oh this is an ember mug demo oh God they're so the Ember mug
01:09:34
is this and terrible product that is way too much money guess do you know how much this
01:09:40
is no this is like 200 bucks it's $150 for the 12 O version can you hold up to the camera sorry this is an ember mug I
01:09:46
have the copper version that's $180 I believe thank you Michael Fisher great Christmas gift they are great gifts
01:09:52
because they're way too expensive but once you start using one you cannot use a regular cup anymore I'm like I have
01:10:00
one for work and at home at this point so it's an e it's the eth sleep of beverages kind of yeah um it's it is
01:10:06
like if you're not aware what it is it's basically just a smart mug that will keep the temperature of your coffee at a
01:10:12
specific temperature for like two hours any hot drink or any hot Dr yeah um and
01:10:17
it's incredible cuz I like drinking my coffee slow microwaving your coffee sucks and like keeping it warm for a
01:10:23
long time I just do stuff is is fantastic so I can't live without it at this point there's a bunch of issues
01:10:30
that I have with one the app is horrendous it Bluetooth connection is so bad it's so bad and you like every time
01:10:36
I would walk past my kitchen my phone would be like oh you want to connect to this Bluetooth it's it's like I've connected 800 times already so it's it's
01:10:43
awful so every time I've bought one of these or have bought one for someone else I've connected it set the temperature you want to and just delete
01:10:50
it from your phone it's the easiest way it'll remember that temperature local memory I'm pretty sure nobody who's ever
01:10:55
bought one of these has like continued to use the app they've probably said it and never looked at it again yeah so I
01:11:02
think they should make a cheaper version that has a physical dial or temperature sensor on it or the charger so you don't
01:11:09
need an app you don't need a chip that connects you get it at under $100 and I
01:11:14
just go setting this to 150 or whatever my ideal temperature is and then never touch it again that's such a great point
01:11:20
it makes so much sense this is a product that does not need to be connected to your phone zero reason you could just
01:11:26
have a dial yeah it would be so much easier so that's my like my idea for this being better and making it cheaper
01:11:33
that might work my other idea is a little bit of a pipe dream but my other
01:11:39
thing I hate about this is I love drinking out of a ceramic coffee mug it's so much better don't they sell a
01:11:45
cam version I don't believe so they sell a metal version and this I don't know what this is they either need to make a
01:11:51
ceramic version which I'm sure they won't because then you're spending $150 on something that can break so much
01:11:56
easier yeah or my ultimate pipe dream is if they can somehow create a universal adapter that I can put inside of a
01:12:04
regular coffee ceramic mug that I could could keep the temperature through some
01:12:09
sort of food safe heating element and then I could use all the fun mugs that I buy on every vacation I have like 20
01:12:16
mugs at home from different places I visited that I love I don't use any of them because I only use this that's
01:12:22
funny that would be so cool if somehow cuz it's this element on the bottom that's heating it if this could be
01:12:27
something that I could put in the bottom of a coffee mug that I have already I get to use different fun mugs and stuff
01:12:33
like that but keep my coffee warm for two hours that would be incredible so also for context it has inductive coils
01:12:39
on the bottom and you set it on a charging mat that you have at your desk or whatever and so as long as you're
01:12:45
leaving it in that mat and you're picking it up taking a sip putting it back your battery is great yeah uh it has a built-in battery lasts about 45
01:12:51
minutes really I've had longer than 45 I thought I I got close to like two hours
01:12:57
with it yeah mine mine has been having issues it is a huge bummer when you don't see the light that it died and
01:13:02
you're like nice hot cupy cup of coffee a cupy of coffee and then you drink it and it's cold because you've been no
01:13:11
you're but yeah Ember mug great gift terrible Bluetooth terrible Bluetooth
01:13:18
way too it's so hard to tell someone to spend $150 on a coffee mug that's absurd yeah know they drink a lot of coffee I
01:13:25
could never live without it though damn wow all right mug but better marz what
01:13:31
you got all right which one do you want one two three four five six or seven seven yeah wow two through four two
01:13:38
through four all right okay two Kia ev6 GT but with good
01:13:44
range solid solid wish 3 320
01:13:49
350 two 220 no bad is that what it's on20 ev6 GT is 20 20 mes range good god
01:13:56
of EPA rated range oh that's two okay you
01:14:03
want three yeah give me three three the Cyber truck but with a screen instead of a rearview
01:14:08
mirror no that makes too much sense because the tono cover covers the entire back window so you can't use it if you
01:14:15
drive with the Tano cover open you can see out the back but a couple things about that one it's still kind of a slot
01:14:21
because the back of the truck is so high you don't really see much and two you lose like 25 miles of range per charge
01:14:28
because of the aerodynamic disadvantages of all that turbulent air through the trunk so people drive with it closed
01:14:34
most of the time that should have been a screen but and they know it but there is
01:14:39
the screen on the screen there is the screen on the single screen that is down
01:14:44
out of your normal field of view and you can train yourself to get used to that but there is a mirror a dinky useless
01:14:51
mirror there that should have been a screen and everyone knows it should have been a screen why is it not a screen it is also the smallest you said dinky but
01:14:58
I cannot believe how small that mirror is compared to everything else in that truck yeah so that's three uh and you
01:15:04
want it four yep do it Galaxy s24 but small
01:15:10
yes oh yeah you just I thought you said Galaxy s24 Ultra but small and I was
01:15:15
like wait that's just4 mean that would have been cool too but yeah since we go through those pretty quick I feel like we could get
01:15:21
one two and six and seven you want one six S 5 six and seven just finish the
01:15:26
list we'll just all send our lists after you One airpods Max but light and also
01:15:34
USBC oh yeah and has an off and has an off button power button on the freaking
01:15:41
airpods ma airpods Max but power button USBC and lighter that's it that's all
01:15:46
you have to do Apple second one that's not that much those are reasonable things though they are heavy metal
01:15:53
headphones Apple all you got to do is like those metal cups and do something like magnesium or carbon fiber and just
01:15:58
do the USBC Port we all should be well titanium is kind of heavy too oh you're right but and then yeah obviously a
01:16:04
power but it's lighter than stainless steel but I think they're aluminum currently so anything lighter than
01:16:09
aluminum would be real nice hel David no you'd Fly Away he'd
01:16:16
lift you off the ground okay I can keep ranting um MacBook
01:16:23
Pro my gu got this from me but face ID how do you have a notch this big yeah
01:16:29
that was just a selfie camera when the first MacBook Pro M1 came out uh that was the number one complaint I truly
01:16:35
think that is the only thing that doesn't make sense about this laptop I think this is the most well polished
01:16:41
product to come out in the last like 10 years considering that's my only thing I would change about it yeah it's pretty good I'm like I spent $4,000 on my
01:16:47
personal one and I don't I I really don't have any complaints about it and mine's like 2 three years old and I
01:16:53
still only want one thing about it yeah definitely men only want one thing and it's face ID face ID in their Mac Pro
01:17:01
yeah so that's that's an easy one for me yeah right that's a good one Final Cut Pro on the iPad but with plug supp but
01:17:08
good and I know that there's not going to be a whole bunch of like I don't think it's going to replace Final Cut
01:17:14
Pro on the Mac and I think there's some intentional deficits uh separating it from Final Cut Pro on the Mac but plugin
01:17:19
support would really be great for me and also like better color controls but I
01:17:24
don't know I'm probably asking for too much plugins what if you ask for Adobe with faster exporting and not
01:17:31
pring I would like to see that I would like to see that and to be fair I haven't used Premiere in years so it
01:17:38
could be way faster with apple silicon now yeah when M1 first came out I was still a premier user and I edited my how
01:17:45
the Italian Renaissance can save the smartphone camera video on it and every single time I would export it it would take about 2 hours to export and there
01:17:52
would just be random green flashes and different part of the video to be fair
01:17:57
this was like the beta version of premere that's just started supporting Apple silicon and it was in beta still
01:18:03
probably a lot better but I exported that like eight times and it took like 16 hours I didn't sleep for 3 days and
01:18:09
then the one thing that fixed it was just moving the project to fer Intel MacBook Pro and exping it on the Intel
01:18:16
one what machine were you on before that did the flashing it was the M1 Max 16in
01:18:21
MacBook Pro but it was right after Premier beta had come out supporting Apple silicon so it was like super early
01:18:28
this is yeah interesting yeah so it'd probably be better now um but I also don't miss how much it crashed all the
01:18:35
time yeah and there's no autosave Premiere but autosave wait yeah Premier is auto save doesn't it
01:18:41
it integer every like half an hour yeah you can change that I'm pretty sure yeah
01:18:47
it shows like a loading icon on your screen every time it does it okay that's better than losing half an hour's worth
01:18:52
of that's totally true that's true my last one that I've written down Apple
01:18:57
watch but with group fitness competitions yeah okay I don't know how we didn't think of that yeah okay but I
01:19:03
have a theory okay I have theories do you want to hear the theories about why they don't do it yeah I we to wait for
01:19:09
are we getting an exclusive right now exclusive if only to bring more people to waveform this is an exclusive okay so I
01:19:18
have this theory around uh the reason that apple is intentionally kneecapping
01:19:24
the fitness features on the Apple watch and it has to do with their relationship with n k um just so the kids out there
01:19:33
don't know what I'm talking about um wait what I don't know Nike uh sorry
01:19:41
suei okay so so basically Nike run Club is a thing that like I said is like not
01:19:49
pre-installed on the Apple watch but there's settings for it on the Apple watch and there's an install button in the settings of the Apple watch so it's
01:19:54
basically native uh I have a theory that because Nike run Club is inherently like
01:20:02
has social features built into it where you can like run with your friends and have competitions and stuff you can join
01:20:07
like clubs and all this stuff Nike and apple have this agreement that Apple
01:20:12
will not double up on certain features that Nike run Club also has so that when
01:20:18
people want to do something with their Apple watch but they're like why don't I have this they can just move over to n
01:20:23
to the Nike um stuff and it's not just like there's the Run Club but there's also Nike I
01:20:29
think is it called Fitness club there's another app that's not just running um
01:20:34
that is a bunch of Nike stuff that was that was the one I needed for my watch face I I remember wrong okay so it it
01:20:41
just seems insane to me that over the last couple of years Apple has added like stride length vertical height
01:20:47
automat automatic track detection dual band GPS so you can run in a city published a bunch of ads with
01:20:53
ultramarathon Runners and they don't have things like they don't have um any
01:20:58
half marathon training programs they don't have any full marathon training programs the most they have is a 10K
01:21:05
training program but it's not even a training program it's just a bunch of random Apple Fitness Plus videos that are not even linear it's like season 4
01:21:12
episode 2 of run with me season 9 episode 7 of run with me and it's just
01:21:17
eight random episodes so my theory is that like Nike is is basically telling
01:21:22
Apple like don't Doo much of what people come to Nike run club for so that you
01:21:28
can funnel people into Nike run club and I think that's why they don't have group competitions that checks out and to
01:21:34
which I would say apple just ignore that one feature and build it
01:21:41
anyway yeah that's my suggestion yeah please so please nice David do you have
01:21:47
any more um well I did and then
01:21:52
Mar I was going to say the face Ida thing too but um gosh I mean
01:21:57
everything's perfect life is beautiful you know beautiful I don't know what what is bad
01:22:02
hm H there's a lot that's bad but you should be more specific do you do any of you have another one while I can think I
01:22:08
have one more small one do it okay sure the Dyson stick vacuum I think is the
01:22:13
most accurately hyped product ever I thought it was way too overhyped I bought one I'm obsessed with it which
01:22:19
one did you buy whatever one was at Costco cuz I almost there's a bunch I almost randomly splurged on the v15 to
01:22:26
detect I don't even know oh I they're all the same thing in my eyes I'm sure little bit bigger and more powerful I
01:22:32
think some of them are what attachments it comes with like I think mine like was specifically had the like pet hair attachment at Costco it's too short I
01:22:40
want it to there needs to be a tall version or like longer pole that I can get for it I'm sure if you're over 6
01:22:46
foot when you're reaching out you find yourself like your hand is under your hip at that point when you're pushing it
01:22:52
and it's not F there I'm getting older we're past 30 now back starting to hurt I need a longer version
01:22:59
they are from the UK and UK does have a a shorter average height than the US
01:23:05
that's really funny I think I think you know obviously Dyson are the suction
01:23:10
experts but there's another form factor of stick vacuum where the compressor and
01:23:16
the CH like like collection chamber are down at the bottom next to the head and
01:23:21
that enables you to put elbow bends in the dock to get under the couch easier
01:23:27
no Dyson has that I I have one I have it
01:23:32
at do you have the same one no I have the V8 I have one that I can attach to the top I can do between the chamber and
01:23:39
the pole and then it has a joint so that I can go perfect 90° and then push it under my the problem is is just using
01:23:47
that as a taller adapter and locking it it just feels a little weaker when I'm pushing full strength from the top with
01:23:54
something that's supposed to be bent yeah I do not mine does not have that I don't use it do you want mine yeah yeah
01:24:01
what do you mean you don't use it how do you vacum under your couch I like dirty sometimes facts I don't want that in the
01:24:07
episode not respect we're leaving it in keeping it we're going to bleep it just so it's way worse than what you actually
01:24:12
see the vacuum is one which one do I buy any of them the V8 is like the v8's like
01:24:18
350 bucks which I know sounds a lot started scrolling through so many dude there's so many there's so many it's
01:24:24
just like I vacuum more because I'm more okay with like just vacuuming a single room at a time rather than like plugging
01:24:30
the vacuum in and I would just do the whole house I can bring it into my car and vacuum my car out all the time it's
01:24:36
just so nice my apartment in 2 and a half years and I you might need
01:24:42
something a little more heavy duty then I would like have you heard of a power washer yeah yeah all right what right so
01:24:50
I got two little ones so thanks collar that's not lar a collar
01:24:55
that doesn't do that um okay so as we mentioned I switched to Samsung I'm now
01:25:00
a Samsung boy so I can only see the world in terms of Samsung products now so what I want is the next fold small
01:25:08
speaker on my desk I want the next fold to be not a candy bar shape yes I want
01:25:15
it to be more like one plus pixel fold something along those lines passport I
01:25:21
wanted to also have the pen in inside yes inside the fre that's got to be coming that's crazy that you have to buy
01:25:28
separately with a case I don't I don't understand well and it's bigger right and it's yeah it's it's weird yeah the other thing is if they want to ignore
01:25:35
that completely because they probably will I want Google to and we saw rumors of this already happening where if you
01:25:42
plug in a pixel into a display it'll give you like a DEX experience display
01:25:47
port out I want that but to be just Chrome OS just give me Chrome OS dude you can already run Linux on Andro that
01:25:53
was the dream of fuchsia and fuchsia just kind of well I don't know if it technically
01:25:59
did they end it um it's still somewhere in Google I'm sure aot so those are those are my two I just
01:26:07
want I'm a simple lad just give me Samsung but Google things and Google but Samsung things yeah I like those David
01:26:14
we've been waiting I have an oh I have one all right I want them to completely
01:26:20
axe the Apple watch charger and just switch it to mag
01:26:27
safe wait and I know the I know the circle's too big circle Puck cuz yeah
01:26:33
cuz So currently currently you can charge the airpods with wireless
01:26:39
charging with mag safe or with the Apple watch charger which is really
01:26:44
dope you can yeah what yeah right no are you sure I think you
01:26:51
can the Apple watch charger is is the only nonchi charger but I think you can
01:26:57
charge the airpods isn't it that the Apple watch charger like is chi but it's
01:27:04
like I I would like to try it but I don't I don't proprietar I think you can
01:27:10
you can also charge your mag safe charging case with an air Apple yeah you can wow okay yeah which is which is cool
01:27:18
which is cool so but right now the the thing that charges the most thing is the
01:27:24
regular mag safe charger because it charges your phone and it charges your airpods everything that's not the watch
01:27:30
yeah but the watch you have to bring a specific charger for but if you just bring the watch charger it can charge that in your airpods but not your phone
01:27:37
so there's this awkward thing where it's like you always have to bring two yeah and so if they could just unify and mag
01:27:43
safe seems to be the thing they're unifying around obviously the watch probably isn't really big enough to fit
01:27:49
on the mag safe thing but it also seems like it it even if it didn't magnetize
01:27:56
it should be able to do charging here's why I think that might not work the weird thing about charging watches on
01:28:03
not those specific pucks is because of the way can you take your watch off for a second not the coning but the way the
01:28:10
watch trrap comes down generally doesn't let something sorry you have a normal watch can I see can you turn your for
01:28:16
those listening this is a Casio a1200 see how like see how because the strap is facing down when you put it on a
01:28:22
table usually is like floating above a little bit so depending this is a little
01:28:28
more flexible but some other ones like it would possibly be sitting because the puck is bigger it would be sitting above
01:28:33
the puck which is why if they added magnets it pulled it down very slightly it would almost be cool if they made an
01:28:39
adapter that could fit on top of the puck yeah and then just go like that and hold it that's my guess on why that's
01:28:45
hard I'm sure Apple could figure it out it's just awkward that if you want the Holy Trinity of Apple devices what's
01:28:51
that the mag safe Duo yeah I have one when you said ugliest it's awkward to bring this around I thought you were
01:28:57
talking about the mag safe Adam has a way better mag safe 2o product that is
01:29:02
not the max sa2 but is cooler and better it's the it's called The Butterfly from 12 South and it's freaking awesome it's
01:29:08
really awesome but it's so expensive $130 anchor just make a little yeah but it's not pretty is it is it the is it
01:29:14
the square the brick there's the brick that folds into three that's your phone your airpods and your watch how about uh
01:29:21
mag safe Duo but USBC is is it lightning it's lightning oh my God yeah that's
01:29:27
another one well they don't sell it anymore right the mag safe Duo I think they maybe it's 27% off on Amazon so
01:29:35
only $944 yeah that's one of the don't yikes
01:29:41
it's also ugly it's the dumb it's one of the Dumber things they the thing I hate the most in my backpack yeah so yeah I
01:29:47
would I just I I just want a unified charging system a good also one more for
01:29:53
me any phone with ch2 agreed hard agreed hard hard agree
01:30:00
place to end it I that a lot every phone listen up figure it out somebody please please do it please do it okay we've
01:30:07
been going long enough we should probably get those trivia answers so let's do it
01:30:12
trivia also pass me an eraser any of them all right so quick
01:30:18
update on the score Take One D Marquez in the lead with Quatro
01:30:25
four for those who don't speak Spanish Andrew un likee me in second place three
01:30:30
in the second lead David coming in third out of three with one thanks first
01:30:38
question howdy so Bose not owned by Samsung but they are owned by a world
01:30:46
famous scientific Institute what is
01:30:52
it
01:31:01
this is at the point where I just have to hope I know I'm wrong I just have to name something that actually is a
01:31:06
scientific Institute so I don't also look like an idiot when I'm wrong we're both going to look like
01:31:14
[Music] idiots flip him and read all right who wants to go first put
01:31:21
that damn yours are both way better than mine Marquez why don't you go first okay cool cool cool
01:31:27
yeah uh I put uh New Zealand scientific Institute I'm sorry what that is not
01:31:34
correct I feel like some might argue worldwide is not based on a specific
01:31:41
country although I'm never mind I'm also an idiot I feel like I put NASA NASA if
01:31:49
NASA had Bose I'd be so happy DARPA
01:31:55
uh no I put MIT which stands for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
01:32:00
which is correct which is when I realized I was so wrong by the worldwide thing when I looked and he had a state
01:32:07
MIT what's below MIT I wrote Romney underneath David sorry what does that
01:32:13
mean M Romney like the former Governor of Massachusetts I don't know do we have
01:32:18
to redo that m is not a common just funny all right clean cut
01:32:24
clean cut just in case second question Safari the browser engine is webkit
01:32:31
Chrome and all chromium based browsers what is the engine
01:32:38
called fun fact this engine is actually a fork of
01:32:43
webkit so everything is webkit which webkit is also a fork of
01:32:49
something El if I put webkit will that be right no I put steam engine is that right
01:32:55
I was thinking of putting steam I don't steam what does steam run on what does
01:33:00
Steam OS run on Linux I'm not even all right flip them and read what we
01:33:07

01:33:34
chromium is the engine yeah I I don't and what was the
01:33:39
question again so the browsers there's chromium based browsers yeah so what is
01:33:44
chromium based no it's a code base it's a library bam it's a chemical element to
01:33:50
chemical element that's tough what is chromium you just don't get the engine stuff at
01:33:57
all you just free open source web browser project the basis of Google Chrome and
01:34:04
provides the majority of the code for other browsers maybe just an open sourced
01:34:10
which Al said it was a fork of webkit from like 2013 I guess it's just an open
01:34:15
source browser it's a code base boom wow that's crazy blink you
