00:00:00
so did you see the price of this watch before reading this okay then let's just I want you to read that oh yeah okay it
00:00:06
feels I've seen wrong no we definitely talked about it okay but yeah okay yeah do you want to uh jump then do it sure
00:00:13
okay that's right I know why do I not remember don't worry you'll remember you'll be shocked I'm ready I'm gonna make a shocked face when you say it okay
00:00:24
he's left for the YouTube thumbnail [Music] hey what is up people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we're your host I'm
00:00:39
Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David and we've got a whole bunch of stuff since we last saw you and talked to you it's
00:00:46
funny how that works out when when we have like a guest episode we we take a quick break and suddenly there's just
00:00:51
like a ton just piles it's also that time of year so I guess I shouldn't be surprised uh in today's episode we're
00:00:56
gonna go through let's see the the thought of the Zenfone disappearing across everybody's mind for various
00:01:02
reasons uh also we have our first confirmation about the Cyber truck event a new smartwatch leak from nothing a
00:01:08
weird Playstation portable device and of course something of a leak from Google doesn't happen often but we have a bit
00:01:14
of a sneak peek of some Google stuff so we're going to talk about all that but first something completely unrelated to all of
00:01:20
that look under your seats everybody look under your seats audio listeners look under your seats but not if you're driving keep your eyes on the road what you're looking at is uh there's a bunch
00:01:33
of boxes that we're about to take out the box what it looks like is just a regular sheer sm7v box but if you look
00:01:38
carefully on the side there's a colorware seal which means it can only mean one thing that these are color customized sure sm7bs for the podcast from colorware
00:01:53
if uh you're an audio listener and you don't know what a sure sm7b is it's a microphone you've seen it trust me if you're an audio listener use your mind's eye to Envision what this looks like
00:02:05
we're gonna unbox them live on the podcast I don't know if we're gonna set them up I don't know do you know when they started doing these because I know
00:02:10
they were doing the isn't like the mv7 is the USB version and they were doing that for a while yeah and then I saw
00:02:17
this and posted about it and then our friends at colorware wait did we buy these or did they hook
00:02:24
us up they hooked us up whoa colorware dang you didn't have to go there I appreciate you oh wait whoa oh that's so wait I didn't know that
00:02:35
okay hold on I gotta take it I'm gonna tell you guys that part can you guys say what it is all right so uh these look
00:02:41
the same as our regular mics generally except the ring around the center that is normally black is the red for the
00:02:48
MKBHD red and something I didn't even anticipate is on the bottom of the microphone they embossed or I don't know
00:02:56
what that's considered just painted it painted they painted the mkbh the waveform specifically on the bottom it
00:03:02
also it is matte black I know it looks similar but it's definitely it is more matte finish yeah I couldn't come I was
00:03:10
about to compare him I was like Marquez uses an R re27 you know colorware if you guys could do this to
00:03:15
an re-27 that would be unreal I know they they might do one-offs once in a while they'd rather Mass produce a bunch
00:03:22
of things an Electro Voice re-27 literally I use this mic because I like the way it sounds I think the sm7b sound great but there's something of a tenor to my voice and now you guys are used to hearing it
00:03:36
this way and I like it and but I like this everyone says that we sound the same so should I just also be
00:03:43
using one of those mics no because then we've been on two similar yeah then people want people to figure out you're right it just sounds like Marquez is
00:03:48
talking to himself and me chiming in every once in a while that would be a weird podcast but like tell her where
00:03:54
literally like when I do these painted things they literally like disassemble the thing paint the pieces and reassemble them so I don't know if
00:04:00
they're capable of doing that to this mic but if they did I would that seems like it would be much harder that seems
00:04:07
like a way more complicated than these These are generally pretty simple in terms of like the casing that you pop
00:04:13
off I believe but no more than I would standard yeah all right do I want to install all of them now of course we do through the magic of editing yeah
00:04:23
I knew it was happening all right let's video he's kind of plugged in already I think
00:04:31
they're pretty sweet it's so loud in my ears right now all right you ready okay all right so the magic of editing we
00:04:36
will be back baby wow look at this look at that they're all installed so nice wait what
00:04:44
do we just discovered Ellis can you show everybody it's they painted the they painted
00:04:52
inside so it's called the cardioid the tiny screen inside Ellis would know uh I don't know what that's called or is it just like a structure to hold the destruction yeah the microphone capsule
00:05:03
the capsule well they painted the inside which you would never see test it whoa uh oh Das no good all right through the magic of editing we will be
00:05:15
right back back we figured it out it might the mic is fine everything's great everything was fine wow it looks great on the producer mic because of the logos just right there that's yeah although I
00:05:26
think we need to flip that play Upside Down you can't even really see it on ours no it's the right way that's perfect yeah it's perfect to those just
00:05:32
yeah for the record can I can I borrow this yes just I want you guys to hear the difference between the re27 and sm7b
00:05:39
and let me know in the comments if I should stick with the re27 or move to the much prettier sm7b this is me on the
00:05:46
re27 this is me on the sm7b this is me on the re27 this is me on the sm7v that's I'm not changing the way I'm talking at all that's just the difference between these
00:05:58
two mics that does sound significantly different just let me know it sounds so much different I think you sound better on that that's what I'm saying but I
00:06:04
can't tell if you sound better or I'm just so used to hearing you for the last 100 plus episodes in that Andrea you
00:06:11
talk on party yeah let me try this right wow oh it's so far away what how do I end this waveform was produced by Adam Molina and Ellis Roman waveform is produced by Adam Molina and
00:06:23
Ellis rovin wow there's a lot more bass waveform is produced by Adam Molina and Ellis Robin waveform is produced by Adam Alita and
00:06:29
Ellis rovin this is the sm7b this is dr-27 do we want to do the the uh the audio man explains or do you just want to get into our busy podcast today
00:06:41
well we'll decide based on the comments on this episode if we if we should do it next episode okay yeah I like it so get
00:06:48
ready all right we knew yeah we knew this would be a busy time of the year and uh judging by the couple of event
00:06:55
invites that have all happened very recently it's definitely about to be the busy time of year so we know there's
00:07:01
going to be an Apple event on September 12th I believe that's probably going to be iPhone we're also suspecting new Apple watch suspecting new airpods maybe
00:07:14
some M3 Max along the way that could be another event later but that's a bunch of stuff there
00:07:19
um we're also gonna have a pixel event in New York City on October 4th we got an invite to that that should be pixel 8
00:07:27
pixel 8 Pro and maybe some headphones who knows and the pixel watch too so let's check them out a watch as well hopefully that one's good better than the first one better yes yeah and a
00:07:39
whole bunch of other stuff coming up I mean it's that time of year it's every time anyone this is one of those things anytime anyone ever asks about our job
00:07:46
and they're like is there like a busy time of year I'm always like yeah all the products and most important stuff
00:07:51
that has to be on the shelf by the holiday season starts coming out in September and October yeah and that's
00:07:57
what we're about to get into so make sure you subscribe to all the channels and and watching all the videos that come out because
00:08:03
it's gonna be good this first ever podcast episode was called smartphone season and came out mid-august it's a
00:08:09
good yeah it's a good title for it smartphones and money more things Galore it's gonna be great can I uh can I share
00:08:16
something about the uh oh yeah all right so tell us Apple you know every year they're hiding clues about
00:08:23
what they're going to show off in the invite in the little art that they put in the invite so I know next week we
00:08:29
were talking we're going to make some predictions about what we think but I just wanted to get out there early because I think I cracked the code
00:08:35
before anyone and I uh took the time to mock up some renders okay to uh goodness
00:08:42
oh wow to do it so we all were looking at it I thought that Apple looked and be what will put up the Apple invite it's sort of the shape of the Apple logo but it has these sort of ripples in it and
00:08:53
it's made of stars and it's outside of titanium either is that what you think definitely see I think oh boy I think
00:09:00
it's supposed to be the Among Us guy it does right and I think this is their their announcing that launching with apple Vision will be among us VR and I actually sometimes make some some
00:09:11
renders I want to share with you I don't know I really think you know they were really
00:09:16
this is really what they were hinting at so I'm this is my first official prediction wait renders included how did
00:09:23
you for audio listeners it is Among Us listen Among Us characters mocked up as the invitation yeah and it does look wait hey I did this oh I did this but
00:09:35
yeah I did this right AI but typing it in there yeah no no you made this it's that time of year folks uh speaking of smartphones the Zenfone had a moment it was a very
00:09:51
quick moment the moment was weird I remember seeing on Twitter there was this headline or I think someone put it
00:09:57
in the slack it was like an Android authority article about how the Zenfone is rumored to be going away getting
00:10:03
discontinued and I was like whoa that's a I mean we talked about it briefly but that's kind
00:10:09
of a crazy confirmation so I remember looking on Twitter and trying to search for other articles and seeing what I
00:10:14
could read about it and I couldn't find anything else it was from a Taiwanese news site and it was reported directly by Android authority I guess from the
00:10:21
Taiwanese news yeah so I saw that and I was like well it's not really anywhere else that I would normally read but I
00:10:27
don't know Android 30 I guess they're pretty pretty solid I'll I'll sort of retweet I just I said no in in all
00:10:35
lowercase like God I I knew this was gonna happen eventually but it was a small phone it was a rumor
00:10:40
um a couple days later the Asus account like perks up and and says no we're not actually discontinuing any of this stuff we have plans for a new Zenfone we have plans for a new Rog
00:10:53
phone we have plans for more of these phones yeah and so in those couple days of a gap in between the rumor of them
00:10:59
discontinuing the Zenfone and the JK were not uh I was fully accepting that the Zenfone was gone forever I had fully accepted it then you went through the whole grief process the
00:11:12
whole thing yeah we put up a short that had me using an Android phone and we used the Zenfone in it and half the
00:11:17
comments were like wow that's so sad there's not gonna be any more of those phones like that we the whole internet
00:11:23
went through that grief and then yeah I got tags probably like 50 times those two days just like you're using this now
00:11:30
what do you think what are you thinking I was just sad because it was getting them or Zenfone 10. I mean honestly I
00:11:37
feel like this is probably it's good press too because they just released the US version yeah right and she's like you
00:11:42
know maybe it wound up being good press it's not very often that we see like companies directly responding to weird
00:11:48
rumors like this yeah yeah so I'm glad they just came out straight and we're like I don't know we're still doing it I
00:11:55
guess the how many times though do you see a rumor of a company killing off one of their products that's not true like
00:12:00
any time you see a rumor of them killing off one of their products and they don't respond it's probably because they actually killed them yeah like the big
00:12:06
speed speaker whatever yeah the rumor was that they were collapsing they were like
00:12:11
doing a restructuring in Asus and so they were just merging the Zenfone and Rog lines and that everybody that was
00:12:17
working on Zenfone was going to start working on Rog yeah I don't know where that Taiwanese Outlet got that
00:12:23
information from but me neither yeah but it sounds so realistic that I wouldn't be shocked if that's actually kind of going to happen especially since the Zen phones are small yeah I think I think I've seen some people talk about like oh
00:12:35
maybe it's just that it won't be a compact Flagship anymore maybe the Zenfone name will just be gone but
00:12:41
they're still making something um at this point now that people are starting like people give the Zenfone a
00:12:47
lot of credit I feel like if one runner-up a bunch last year in the smartphone Awards it's only gotten
00:12:53
better this year so like cameras yeah yeah it's doing it's doing awesome I I don't know I still use it I still use it
00:13:00
and I tried to switch back to my pixel I was like no I like this size so much better I couldn't go back to my pixel it
00:13:07
is funny when we were in the grief stages and accepting this on Twitter Austin Evans tweeted like it's sad but
00:13:13
it's also not surprising like people vote with their wallets and as much as we like small phones like most people
00:13:19
don't buy small phones so it's it's the most vocal enthusiastic minority of people who are like yes iPhone 12 mini was the perfect size yes Zenfone is great and then
00:13:31
not enough people bought it it was discontinued and now the plus iPhone is in its place and sells just and sells
00:13:38
much better yeah and so we wouldn't be shocked if the Zenfone went away but we still all love the thing I think it was
00:13:43
believable enough to think maybe it would happen yeah yeah man phones are way too big now I really they really
00:13:49
need to make small phones it's funny you're holding a pixel fold but also like the outside screen of the pixel phone actually is pretty compact mine's
00:13:56
taller than it yeah so there you go yeah yeah that happened can I talk about my Zenfone really quick I've been using this for two months now okay I love it okay
00:14:07
backing of it two months background still still great I mean like there's nowhere on this this is no case climbing
00:14:14
hiking treating it like crap and it's nothing like the old ones yeah now I have one gripe about this okay and I think this might be very specific and I'm using this as a call to action to maybe help me
00:14:27
Wi-Fi calling it has it but in the US I've looked everywhere on how to turn it on and I cannot figure it out from everything that I've researched it seems like in order to have Wi-Fi calling in
00:14:40
the US your carrier has to White list the model of phone to allow that feature through the Sim or whatever yeah and because zenfone's not a very popular this is my this is my assumptions here
00:14:52
since zenfone's not that popular of a phone T-Mobile doesn't care I use T-Mobile so my phone model is in
00:15:00
whitelisted in this wi-fi calling yeah thing so even though I know the phone has it and even though I know on T-Mobile I've used Wi-Fi calling before
00:15:06
I cannot right now and in this office that is very bad because we have crab services this is also you're still using
00:15:13
one of the ones we got early which is an international yes so I'm wondering if the new one would do anything different
00:15:19
think potentially the North America version will have it more likely I don't know yeah I don't know I like any carriers sell it I don't
00:15:31
think so I don't think anything I don't see that turning into something from from all the stuff I've looked at
00:15:36
there's all these weird ways you can like plug this set of numbers into the dialer and then it will turn on allow
00:15:42
the feature in the settings and then every time you restart the phone you have to dial it in again that didn't even work for me no um there's nothing
00:15:49
in any of the settings I promise I've looked everywhere Twitter has helped me it's not there someone from Asus someone
00:15:55
from T-Mobile if you are listening to this podcast please yeah please please please help me figure this out I had the
00:16:00
same problem the four other people out there that have the same problem on T-Mobile or something but um I would
00:16:06
love for it to work because I love this phone and I remember when I was using it on ATT I didn't have wireless calling and
00:16:12
or Wi-Fi calling and that was a pretty big it's really bad in that corner like where we sit is awful service and yeah
00:16:18
for those who don't know in a video production Studio which has concrete floors concrete ceilings metal beams
00:16:24
everywhere and double thick insulated glass for acoustics yes cell signal doesn't really get in
00:16:30
there too well so yeah yeah we need Wi-Fi calling don't love us yeah no it's a thing anyway speaking of things actually should we take a break this last one's quick okay yeah it is pretty
00:16:42
quick we we did start to keep seeing cyber trucks rolling around on delivery trucks yes and wrapped as other trucks that's it so we're so we're assuming
00:16:56
cyber truck deliveries are coming soon well we also have this like kind of cyber truck event thing coming from the
00:17:02
Tesla referral program oh yeah yeah that's true where like if you pay 30 000 credits you get an invite with you plus
00:17:10
one first come first serve to the event yeah which we just knows in Austin we don't know that's literally the first
00:17:15
time Tesla's acknowledged this event right we don't believe so we were all assuming there would be some type of
00:17:21
rumored cyber truck delivery event in Q3 and we've always just stuck with this rumor but Tesla's never confirmed
00:17:27
anything and the first time we see it officially confirmed by Tesla is inside the Tesla app it's a new referral award
00:17:34
where you can spend points to go to the Tesla cyber truck delivery event it does
00:17:40
not say what the date is but it says that it will be an event and you can go yeah and you all travel and account
00:17:46
foundations are up to you this just gets you into these just to take it in and whether this is a delivery event for people who pay their credits to go and
00:17:56
pick it up or whether it's just for the original people who are gonna oh yeah you're not getting it you're just
00:18:03
getting a ticket to the event okay yeah I assume it's going to be I always look into the future as if it's the pass
00:18:08
it'll probably be very similar to The Plaid delivery event where Tesla has this very short event where they go on
00:18:14
stage and they say hey manufacturing is really hard but we've got this great product and we're finally starting to
00:18:21
manufacture it here are the couple of tricks and things we learned in spinning up manufacturing here are the first 25
00:18:28
drive them off in a ceremonial like pre-arranged thing where like five happy families like get in their new Cyber trucks you say 25 just because that's what the bet is no 25 was what plaid was oh yeah but
00:18:41
yeah I'm assuming it'll be the same and yeah they all like you know are pre-arranged California families I'm
00:18:47
sure lots of our Tesla employees already but then they sort of ceremony oh Texas this time so maybe Texas families who
00:18:53
knows uh and they'll they'll drive off the line and that'll be the 15-minute event and if you're there you got to see
00:19:00
it happen and then there will be 20 YouTube reviews in one week yeah I have a question how many credits is 30 000 credits besides thirty thousand I mean
00:19:11
one over 29 999. let me just give you some content yeah what's the context of 30 000 credits to be able to go to the
00:19:18
event because I think Andrew and I were talking about this when this first happened it was like wow what an easy way for Tesla to just like get people to
00:19:24
burn their credits yeah um I get an email every time I refer someone to get a Tesla or any Tesla
00:19:31
products credits is doing referrals yes so anytime someone uses my code so I've referred someone five days ago to buy a
00:19:38
model 3 and that added 10 000 credits to my account of the event yeah only influencers can go yeah right honestly I mean that's kind of the way
00:19:51
it feels but it's only three which sounds like a lot but a lot of people who just have neighbors who are thinking
00:19:56
about it or have a friend who got one or whatever just end up with three and so if you feel like you could spend it on anything you could spend it on jackets and like tires supercharger miles is
00:20:08
another one that a lot of people commonly spend it on so yeah it's a lot of credits it's a lot of referrals but
00:20:14
if you're that much of an Enthusiast that you would go to a delivery event where you don't even get your own truck you probably are pretty into it didn't
00:20:22
weren't they like not letting some influencers in to what was that last event there was like a huge line and
00:20:28
there was a bunch of people on Twitter who were tweeting that they like got turned around at the entrance I think
00:20:33
like this is the Cyber Rodeo right that was one of those things that's where no one was actually invited and they just
00:20:40
tried to go oh okay yeah one person did get invited and then they when they got there they're like sorry there's no room or something like that and it was a huge deal yeah I remember that anyway these
00:20:51
these events are always uh yeah okay well it actually happens before the end of the year then I guess I will lose the
00:20:57
BET hold on hold on let's not go that far oh even though I'm on the opposite side of the BET of you so I don't know you're arguing for you but oh
00:21:04
does this count as a delivery or a pickup let's pick up we said deliveries that's true yes
00:21:11
I I think we I think we were on the there will be plus 25 delivered everyone else is not 25 delivered but like if I order food and I have to drive and pick
00:21:22
it up that's true that's not delivered that's a pickup this is considered takeout yeah the the way I tip changes
00:21:28
take out this is take out yeah it's a cyber truck takeout I'll say two things one
00:21:36
I guess we defined our bet earlier as if it was the same as the Plaid event and 25 people receive their truck and we should not find it non-tesla employees right yes
00:21:46
employees then it counts two it is both delivery and pickup because it's a pickup truck I was gonna say come pick up your truck is what I was just doing wow Marcus got to the
00:21:59
Moon before me if the trucks get recalled what's what's the grace period that they have to remain in non-tesla employees hands before their back goes
00:22:10
back to us if I get food poisoning from this delivery there are so many ways to Define it's like okay the first 25 roll
00:22:16
off the line before the end of the calendar year and then they deliver another 100 000 in January but the 25
00:22:21
that were delivered before the end of the year all get recalled does it count as not satisfying it does anyone hear it
00:22:27
exactly I don't know this bet doesn't even have a wager does it it doesn't if a cyber
00:22:34
truck explodes in Texas but nobody's around here did it ever get delivered at all I think we should go to break I
00:22:40
think we should go it's a Chaotic episode already all right but yeah cyber truck trivia time wow trivia time yeah
00:22:48
so after the break we do want to talk about the nothing Smart Watch we do want to talk about PlayStation Portable
00:22:54
making no type of sense so there's a lot more to get to but first the trivia trivia hey dude I'm excited you guys were showing this trivia question to
00:23:06
like everyone in the office so I'm very excited and everyone said no way I cannot wait for you guys to hear it although is it this one or the next one it's this one but Alice also came out
00:23:16
with a great one but Loki I feel like you might know this I'm not sure we'll see all right we'll see all right so fun
00:23:22
fact according to Asus the Asus name is actually a reference to what Greek mythological creature I already know this I had a feeling I did a tour at the aces
00:23:33
headquarters in Taiwan Greek mythological I just did my research okay I went to Taiwan to find this answer up
00:23:41
Jesus Jesus Greek god Greek what is the Greek mythological creatures Greek mythological it's gonna make a lot of sense can you name one other Greek mythological creature the Chimera Zeus I
00:24:00
don't know if that's true like the Loch Ness Amazing Zeus Jesus you mean like a really big bee
00:24:14
we'll be right back thank you [Music] all right welcome back we are going to talk about nothing sort of leaking something but
00:24:33
it's not really nothing it's have you seen they've announced a sub brand called CME
00:24:40
these guys they're like a brand new company there's like two products they have like two
00:24:46
products they're like three spinning up parentheses two products all right they also have the bugs all over the ad you know I don't know just they made a
00:24:57
new sub brand yeah called cmf which it is a weird name already are they trying to get it clever that actually okay cmf normally in like Hardware lingo terms
00:25:09
design for color material finish if you're if you're talking about a new device and someone says tell me about the cmf or if they're just talking about
00:25:16
some design process cmf is color material that is what this stands for as well uh nothing products usually being
00:25:22
clear is a pretty key thing to note here so cmf being clear plastic glossy for everything that they make damn well
00:25:34
not that cmf makes though but see what is cmf cmf is going to make what a smart watch is that the plan so so there was
00:25:41
Elite a leak that has three products It's a 65 watt charger okay a pair of earbuds a smart watch that's what this leak is that they're calling the watch Pro the watch Pro that looks just like
00:25:53
an Apple Watch Ultra it looks exactly like the uh renders we all were getting before the watch Ultra came out when it was called The Watch Pro which is just like a square yes like flat edged Square
00:26:08
rounded Corners yeah yeah it says this not look like the old renders for the Apple watch Ultra before it was confirmed yeah and it just has an orange band it also kind of looks like my new
00:26:19
Casio it does yeah was that it is that the cmf explore that um yeah so there's some leaks about
00:26:30
these couple new things they're doing um apparently Carl says that cmf is going to be a t a separate team that is
00:26:37
going to be focused on clean design for these new products um they will be it seems like they're
00:26:43
going to be cheaper than their products right now um making better design more accessible
00:26:48
is their goal that was supposed to be the goal of nothing yeah isn't that what was the entire point also the cmf logo
00:26:54
looks like it's a CMT not just saying okay kind of weird I like that um but yeah this watch looks like the
00:27:02
render of the Apple watch Ultra before we knew what it actually was going to look like even more basic it just looks
00:27:07
like a square like iPhone with a like nothing watch face on it squircle um a couple specs apparently from this 1.96 amla display 600 nits Peak
00:27:18
brightness 50hz refresh rate software claims to have 100 watch faces and 100 workouts
00:27:23
to that it can track heart rate blood oxygen sensors battery that lasts up to 13 days when always on display is turned off will not run wear OS
00:27:34
price point is apparently 4 500 rupees which if you convert that is around 55 USD that's crazy that's concerning I
00:27:43
think that's like yeah that's really there's a certain point in things that are like we can mostly but this goes all
00:27:51
over the place is like price points we like things that are cheap but there is a point that's so
00:27:57
cheap that you just wonder if you're like how the world is this exactly yeah okay it seems like when you would go on
00:28:03
Amazon and search for Smart Watch the first result that would come up is like cmf Smartwatch 13 day battery life IP67
00:28:12
Bluetooth Wi-Fi tell me that when I go on Amazon search for Smartwatch the 35 product doesn't
00:28:19
look exactly what do you like this it's kind of just cue that's those 35 those all have the same probably 600 nits display 100 workouts 100 sport modes yep
00:28:30
see wait a second wait is he like is Carl Soldier Boy the soldier watch the pay one 100 sport modes that's exactly what cmf was saying
00:28:42
interesting okay in their defense the Pebble Smartwatch was 99 like 10 years ago and that thing was awesome it was but it didn't have a real screen it had
00:28:53
wasn't that just um yeah but it's also been like 10 years it's true so if it's slightly better
00:29:00
with a real screen I could see how they could get to that price this is five stars with 100 1093 ratings I feel like
00:29:07
see what's going on which is nothing yeah the the brand nothing I think wants to always have clear products but Carl
00:29:20
wants to also be able to sell other products that aren't clear and they're orange because all of these leaks are orange maybe orange is the color they picked but cmf is their way of
00:29:31
indicating this one's not clear and so that allows them to sell earbuds that aren't clear and of course when you make it clear you have to spend more money to like do the extra design work and like decide where to put the glue
00:29:42
and how to organize the cables and make it look good clear right so these are not going to be as expensive as the clear nothing stuff nothing becomes a
00:29:49
more premium designator and cmf is just the stuff that's not clear you're right so there's no clear why they're doing this no idea yeah there could be a there could be a nothing smart watch later
00:30:02
but I would expect that one to be clear okay I have two theories okay okay one is that do you remember like last year the year before I went literally everyone started making wireless earbuds
00:30:13
and it's just because they have like the highest margins of any product that you can make making wireless earbuds is
00:30:19
insanely cheap and because they are individually individual people lose individual ones all the time and just
00:30:25
buy cheap ones on Amazon and uh Qualcomm and a few other major chip companies essentially put out socs that yeah they're off the shelf yeah like yeah you pretty much just have to design a
00:30:36
plastic detection mold like I have plenty of friends who like lose their earbuds they go on Amazon they literally just search wireless earbuds buy them
00:30:42
and that's it and so I think probably what they're thinking is like we should just make this like Ultra cheap Tech that has really high margins that could like help lift up nothing because they
00:30:55
had to up the price of the nothing year one because they said the margins were too low well because they had to slide
00:31:00
the other and that yours sticks in at the 99 yeah they make them cheaper um the other thing is sort of the
00:31:07
comparative analysis that I think we've done videos on before where it's like if you have something that's worse you can
00:31:13
position nothing the brand as being the premium brand even though nothing's original point was to be the affordable
00:31:21
brand now they can make them seem more premium and they slowly slide the price up and so you sort of you you turn the
00:31:28
cheap one into the the cash cow I guess in a way that can prop up the rest of the business so you can do lower margin more interesting stuff with nothing but you still sell a load of cheap earbuds
00:31:39
it is weird though because there's only one competing product between the two which is the earbuds and and if this
00:31:46
says it's going to be like making making better design more accessible I would assume that either these are cheaper than nothing or they're saying nothing's designation and this is better I assume
00:31:57
the word accessible just means cheaper yeah yeah so like we're assuming that these are going to be cheaper so nothing
00:32:02
your sticks are 99 but these are called buds Pro so maybe these could be 99 but they're better and then cheaper than the ear twos and I am a little confused here
00:32:17
but there is only one product that's actually like directly comparable which is earbuds because the Smartwatch nothing doesn't have and the charger
00:32:24
nothing doesn't have but nothing has phones and CM F doesn't have right I keep reading CMT
00:32:31
whenever I look at it yes yet you think they're going to do a phone eventually I could just wouldn't be
00:32:36
clear it's not clear what they're not going to do it Zenfone watch out so yeah but I don't know 55 for a smart watch I think that runs to the point where I'm getting very skeptical yeah I
00:32:50
mean I think the ideal comparison is going to be other 30 to 60 dollar smart watches and if it can compete with those
00:32:57
then that's just where you want to be you get lots of Amazon reviews you get lots of people just searching smart
00:33:03
watch on Google and grabbing the one that looks like it's the most interesting you get it in shelves and
00:33:08
Best Buy and all that stuff like that's all you really got to do I get people searching for wireless earbuds it's just
00:33:13
wireless earbuds on Amazon but just searching smart watch on Amazon which I just I have a hard time believing that
00:33:20
it's thirty dollar smart one I know but I did such a hard time believing people look for that because when you click on
00:33:26
it does it say it's like number four in like smart watches or whatever uh oh uh let me see because then you can see what the number one selling smart watch is and I almost guarantee it's under 100 bucks 3 000 people have bought the top
00:33:38
result in the last month the only thing I worry about that is like Amazon gaming things though and and doing like giving
00:33:44
things away for free and Counting as verified sales there's a lot of weird ways you can game the system even a maze
00:33:51
fit smart watches are as low as like what is that one's fifteen dollars how is there a margin on that I I you can't even buy a watch band for 15 I
00:34:04
feel like yeah I don't know just Apple watch bands are a hundred dollars in the smart watch view I feel like there's so
00:34:09
many people who don't think of things as just smart watches they think them as fitbits or they think of them as Apple watches like they just know the name of
00:34:16
it and they're searching those names so I'm so confused but if you out there are using an Amazon smart watch and insanely
00:34:23
cheap let us know please let us know I would love to hear how it actually works we bought the number one selling one
00:34:28
once and opened it we're like this doesn't look bad and then just never thought about it ever again the smart
00:34:34
watch yeah we bought one a while ago because we wanted to do a video on it and I just don't think we ever had it I
00:34:39
had a hard time getting myself to care believe it or not something about that thing this one's
00:34:44
thirty dollars I'll be interested to see how this cmf stuff goes through I mean it looks nice like listen it looks good I always thought the Apple watch Ultra pre-renders looked good it looks like an
00:34:57
iPhone it's got 100 workouts all right so that's the that's the watch I don't have
00:35:03
really much else to say about that no um we should talk though about this this PlayStation thing though that happened
00:35:09
now was this last week of the week last week this is last week also okay so I guess summary PlayStation Portable
00:35:16
portal portal PlayStation portal because PSP is PlayStation Portable sorry I think I just wrote it as the portable
00:35:22
PlayStation thing that's my fault yeah so it's called the PlayStation portal it was announced uh last week and basically
00:35:28
if you haven't seen the thing what it is is actually kind of interesting it's a dual shot controller split in half with
00:35:35
an eight inch screen in the middle it's exactly what a 17 year old would have photoshopped when they're like what if I
00:35:40
had a PlayStation controller and a switch in the middle yeah exactly the same time what if my joy-cons were a
00:35:46
PlayStation controller but the DualShock controller is really nice it is like it still has all the haptics and all that
00:35:52
the battery life's not amazing but okay you have the DualShock controller wherever you want and you have the screens now you don't have to be in
00:35:57
front of a TV I can be on the couch I can be in the basement I can be under the covers in my room playing video
00:36:03
games no one can tell because I got it in my lab it's an eight inch screen the bathroom wherever yeah exactly in the
00:36:08
bathroom wherever yeah so so you've got that you've got a 200 price tag and so all of us saw this
00:36:15
and thought well that's actually really intriguing like I I like the PS5 I played games on the PS5 I wonder if I
00:36:20
would want to get one of these things then you learn the details of like how it works what it does what it doesn't do right first of all is a Remote Play
00:36:28
device basically what you need to know about what that means is it's not really doing a lot of much of any actual
00:36:34
processing on the device what's happening is you need to also have a PS5 and that PS5 needs to be on and
00:36:41
connected to the internet and your PlayStation portal while it's also on and connected to internet will
00:36:48
then use your PlayStation 5's compute processing to show the games on your little display in your hands so it's this eight inch I think it's 1080p 60 hertz it's cheap it's just like bring
00:37:01
the game from the TV to another room in your own house basically I mean I assume you can play
00:37:07
on Wi-Fi somewhere else but then you start to deal with latency and like how good is the internet connection wherever
00:37:13
you're at so yeah I think we confirmed that I think uh judner did a video on doing it but he wasn't able to test it
00:37:19
and like he said he asked them about using it on my first somewhere else and they said sure but it like depends on
00:37:25
your connection so that's like I'm sure you can get great connections somewhere so that's never something I look forward
00:37:31
this is the world of cloud gaming like you've seen what it's like to just stream a YouTube video imagine streaming
00:37:36
a 1080p YouTube video with live low latency controls and all that other stuff like it's it's not going to be as
00:37:42
good as playing on your couch but sure whatever you take the game with you yeah I thought you it does it's not compatible with PlayStation Cloud it's
00:37:49
not compatible with PlayStation right Cloud but you can connect via Wi-Fi to your your Playstation still has to be
00:37:55
turned on at home yeah but you can make the link to your but but it's never streaming a game from the Internet it's
00:38:01
always streaming it [Music] they don't have data centers that are like streaming the games to you this is the first of so many questions I have about this stuff don't even worry yeah
00:38:13
so you you need a PlayStation 5 is the Baseline thing yeah uh you need a good internet connection and then the compute
00:38:19
from your PlayStation 5 is what's being shown on the handheld controller yeah that's number one so okay fine 200 bucks
00:38:26
I'm not shocked by that I think that's not the craziest thing already our shock it's not as interesting anymore but it is not a shock to me at that price I
00:38:37
guess I could say it that way um but then some other weird things started to pop up uh do you wanna do the
00:38:44
worst one the headphone one is the Bluetooth the Bluetooth okay the worst one is that this does not support
00:38:51
Bluetooth and instead uses a protocol that only two pairs of Sony earbuds and headphones use not even their existing headphones have this protocol they just released two new
00:39:04
pairs of earbuds and headphones that have the protocol so those are the only things that you can listen to audio
00:39:11
through it with unless you use the headphone jack yeah so it has a headphone jack no Bluetooth but if you
00:39:17
want to connect wireless headphones to your Playstation portal you can't just go in Bluetooth settings and connect
00:39:22
your Sony Mark fives even though Sony makes them uh you would what's the protocol called I don't know okay I'm so
00:39:29
mad about this I'm so mad PlayStation link it's called PlayStation link and it's so confusing a because there was already a Sony thing called PlayStation link that was I thought so and B it's like when it first you know
00:39:44
Sony loves proprietary audio codecs so I assumed that they had just made like a super low latency one for gamers but that's not that's not what they did wait it's not no it it's a it's like that
00:39:56
would mean they were like using Bluetooth to encode or they were transmitting over Bluetooth and encoding
00:40:02
the frequency or whatever as far as no one's like used the words Wi-Fi Direct but as far as I can tell is that this is
00:40:09
a Wi-Fi Direct based thing okay um because they eventually want it to be like way higher bandwidth way higher bandwidth lower latency and better Multi-Device networking so sure why
00:40:23
because I think what they're going for eventually is you'll be able to seamlessly move from your Playstation to
00:40:28
the to this to your Sony laptop to your XP like I think we're going to roll it out just from the portable to your
00:40:34
console is probably the most they say mac and PC are gonna get it eventually and that was the other thing because if
00:40:40
it's not Wi-Fi Direct I don't know how they would just assume that Macs and PCs could just start transmitting this new
00:40:46
like Wireless kind of invention they well it's got to use an existing an existing thing with just a modified protocol not necessarily Sony is definitely capable of yeah but apple is
00:40:58
never going to just start recording yeah exactly so anyway yeah that's that's my rant but yeah they've just gone and done
00:41:04
something crazy even even worse earbuds are 200. dollars they look like they hang like two inches out of your ear they look gigantic they're pretty big they cost the same as the fists would all be oh
00:41:18
yes this would all be okay if it was an option but it isn't it's the only thing like if it had Bluetooth and then also oh if you
00:41:28
want low latency yeah we've got this special thing where we can give you these high-end earbuds and it'll work and it's the same price as the handheld
00:41:34
but hey you want the super low latency that's reasonable I like I do like low latency in wireless earbuds when playing
00:41:41
games is one thousand percent a problem like I totally get that but like there it's stardew Valley you don't need the
00:41:48
latency or something hey hey hey I'm just saying man you're fine with that Mill a couple millisecond delay there
00:41:55
yeah Astros player but it's just so funny because the earbuds are 200 the console is that it's not even console
00:42:01
the handheld is 200 and you can't do anything unless you also have a PS5 which is like what 400 500 can we pour one out for all the kids this this Christmas we're gonna get I was just
00:42:12
gonna save it they're gonna get a PlayStation Portable like oh I know Timmy we've really wanted to get you a
00:42:18
PlayStation but it's been impossible for all these years but we finally got you one it's a PlayStation portal look you
00:42:24
can take it on the car ride dude all like all the kids who think they're gonna be able to play their games in the
00:42:29
car and they're like oh I want to turn on well it's not all it says the apps can't load that happened to me once my
00:42:35
parents got me the guitar for a Guitar Hero but not the game so for a whole year I was waiting for the game that they promised they would get me oh never God that's that's
00:42:47
amazing I had a guitar yeah yeah there are so many poor kids are gonna get this this will happen to a non-zero number of
00:42:53
people yeah we've been trying to think of a like the scenarios of when this makes the most sense and it feels like
00:42:59
it stems down to you're sharing the TV with people in your family and you want to just like play on the couch while someone else is
00:43:05
watching something that's literally perfect that's like the main reason yeah you know you just can't stop that Sigma
00:43:11
grind set of just your game so like when you're cooking or going to the bathroom or walking around the house you need to
00:43:17
make sure you're just grinding away the entire time but like the PS5 is not portable so you've got one TV in your
00:43:23
house and you've got a PS5 but someone else is watching the game so you want to still play on the PS5 so you just take
00:43:29
the PlayStation portal and take it to another room and you can still play PS4 but you can already do that with the
00:43:35
remote play just like on an on your phone or something yeah I mean this is like a nice dedicated dual shock eight
00:43:41
inch screen experience that you know hopefully is like a nice playing experience for 200 bucks could games
00:43:47
like incorporate it like so you could use both the TV and then like the Wii U that's what I've been calling this yeah
00:43:53
this feels like the Wii U Can should be the most successful Nintendo product I will say you can turn on your PS5 remotely with the controller yeah so even if you're like if you're like
00:44:04
staying somewhere else I don't have a really good Wi-Fi you can turn on the PS5 from the other place with it it
00:44:10
could be across it's so funny if you're in a if you were going like going on a trip and you are going to be in the
00:44:15
hotel and you just like want to bring it with you and you want to play your PS5 at the hotel it's 200 it's like yeah
00:44:20
maybe but it's definitely like a luxury accessory that has a lot of limitations that's going to confuse a lot of parents
00:44:27
I want to know the hotels you're staying at that's good enough Wi-Fi to do this yeah
00:44:32
I'm very curious about the um latency because when stadia first launched um I was like testing it before it came out and it was like fine for like five minutes and then it would just get awful
00:44:43
for five minutes and then fine for five minutes and awful for five minutes and it was just yeah it's like trying to
00:44:48
watch a YouTube video on high quality when you have a garbage internet connection it sort of Cycles between crystal clear and then like 140p yeah
00:44:56
while it catches up and then it's Crystal Clear for five seconds again and then it's 140p while it catches up it's kind of like that yeah yeah so yeah
00:45:03
remember back in the day back in OG included in iPhone YouTube app the the TV yeah in the day before it would like in back in
00:45:15
the days when it would buffer an entire video um as soon as you loaded it did you have the spot on your phone where you knew if
00:45:22
the buffering made it past there it was like probably good all the way through the video I was an expert at that yeah
00:45:29
I'm really good at that yeah the one the little like Nick on the side of your phone I forgot that's up to there I
00:45:34
forgot it would load a whole video and you would just wait for it yeah it doesn't do that anymore I also want to
00:45:40
note um oh yeah I also want to know that it's kind of funny that they're just now
00:45:46
releasing like a streaming device when we kind of went through this like handheld streaming device thing like two
00:45:52
years ago and then last year with like there's the Razer one and then there was like a there's so much now but now the
00:45:58
thing that's been happening this year is dedicated console computers like the steam Deck
00:46:04
with real compute like the Asus one like Windows yeah yeah like real compute power in them and those are getting more and more popular and then they release this and it's like
00:46:15
I it feels like I really wonder because like as much as we all understand this is an almost pointless product I wonder how many like normal normies will see
00:46:27
this and be like oh yeah I'd get that yeah like for 200 bucks to be able to play anywhere in the house like it's
00:46:32
very possible I think kids who are still living in their parents house and have siblings and stuff where the
00:46:38
PlayStations connected on the biggest TV which is also the TV in the family room that people also want to watch yeah
00:46:43
games or other shows or movies on and you just want to play games yeah this is this actually makes perfect sense it's
00:46:50
just such a shame because so many people remember like the Vita and stuff like that and like or want some sort of cloud
00:46:55
streaming service like handheld this isn't that and is really disappointing and the entire steam deck Community is
00:47:02
also like this thing is a joke yeah I mean I also when I was a kid and I would like paying out of my GameCube and then
00:47:07
my dad would come home from work and he'd put the news on and be like if only I had a GameCube portal well so
00:47:14
when the switch came out that was like the coolest thing to me I was like I could be playing on the TV and then I could just grab the switch off the dock
00:47:19
and keep playing yep so I mean and the switch is a Smash Hit that's true makes you think so there is something to it
00:47:27
but I would like to see how the sales are and how it goes but we'll keep an eye on we'll keep an eye on it we'll
00:47:32
continue to hate on it but we'll keep an eye on it uh we do want to take one more quick
00:47:38
trivia break we also after the break we'll have to talk about uh the fortnite map of our entire Studio which was
00:47:44
absolutely incredible pretty fun um and also Google shockingly leaking something it doesn't happen often but we'll talk
00:47:50
about the leak in a leak weird wow weird they get ahead of themselves sometimes um but before that let's do one more trivia question [Music] preferably one that we all know
00:48:05
except for the one that I know so I'm thinking about buying a new TV shopping around and I've come to the conclusion that TV prices are are literally random
00:48:18
like like the people upstairs are rolling Dice and coming up with TV prices based on that so I went to
00:48:25
bestbuy.com and I got the prices of all 99 55 inch televisions sold at Best Buy um and so I have all that data in front of me we can do all sorts of things with it but I think the most fun is prices
00:48:39
right rules this question's worth two points what is the most expensive 55-inch TV sold at Best Buy price what is the least expensive 255 inch TV
00:48:54
prices are all sold at Best Buy shout out to Bobby two points each or one point each other
00:49:00
going over and prices without going under both over closest both over both over okay okay yeah all right huh is it 4K or just 55 every 55-inch TV there's
00:49:12
gonna be some garbage 55-inch TVs on Best Buy just so you know okay noted I'm gonna think about that one for a little bit all right and we'll indulge in the stats later be right back
00:49:33
all right welcome back uh I just want you guys to know if you were ever wondering what it looks like to be seven
00:49:40
inches tall and run around our studio you can do it now uh in fortnite so that's something I got to do recently so this company do you want to explain what happened we they just like made everything yeah I thought this was like
00:49:54
a pretty cool example of just if we have a studio video on it and there's also a video made by the people who created the
00:50:00
map on how they made it both are awesome we'll put both in the the show notes but um this company reached out to us and I
00:50:07
think this is a perfect example of how to properly reach out to a company that you want to work with because rather
00:50:12
than just dming us since or emailing us and saying hey we have this idea we want to make the studio inside of fortnite
00:50:18
how can we do it they emailed us and said here's a 10 minute video of your studio in fortnite that we did all of
00:50:25
the work with this is what it looks like if you're interested reply yeah and it was this crazy video that I kind of hid from all of you guys until I could talk with them and figure out how to play it
00:50:37
yeah and then we got your guys all of your reactions in a video and it was really fun but they made the for the
00:50:43
whole studio a playable map inside of fortnite that you can now depending on with an island
00:50:48
code go and play for free which is wild and they did made the whole thing by themselves gave it over to us so that we could launch it with epic because they have this new Creator economy which is really cool and and customizable Maps
00:51:01
but it's out there you can play it so I don't play fortnite when I did when I did actually play it I was like this seems like a really good fortnite map like our studio is broken down into
00:51:13
different rooms and then every room has like all kinds of stuff in it and like there's all kinds of places to hide
00:51:19
stuff so and we didn't I didn't really do any of like building stuff that happens before and I was just like running around looking I don't think
00:51:25
there is building in this map okay I think it's better it's it's right now set up as Team Deathmatch so you just go
00:51:30
around and there's guns and like there's a lot of cool Mobility items so there's like a grappling hook there's a dirt
00:51:36
bike hidden somewhere by the way yeah Mobility items so you can jump around because our our studio has lots of
00:51:42
different levels when you're seven inches tall um you're basically like a mouse or as Mariah said a rat running around like on
00:51:49
the floor um but yeah it's super fun I played it a bunch it seemed games I heard we just got featured as like one of the best new
00:51:56
uefn maps so I guess way more people are playing it which is really cool often try again but um we should have like a
00:52:02
night one night where we all play but it's really cool and crazy detailed and the podcast room we're sitting in right now is in it like very meticulously made including our acoustic panels scary
00:52:15
accurate some of the stuff in there it is I I ran around looking at stuff and I obviously they got a lot of interesting
00:52:21
fun details like oh the shades are uneven or oh the carpet ends here and here's where the cement floor starts but
00:52:26
like the orientation of the lights and like where all of our chairs are HVAC units you can go up into the HVAC you can look down from it like you can go
00:52:37
into the pool table like all these crazy Easter eggs it's pretty sick you should go watch it and play it if you play yeah
00:52:43
it was a company called based AF um they're from the Netherlands so it's not like they even were like around here
00:52:49
looking they somehow did all of this from across across the sea and that we know of that we know of very fair I
00:52:56
don't believe they've been in here there are people actually concerned for our safety in that video because of how accurate it was but uh yeah we were okay
00:53:03
okay they did it through some other ways I guess through our whole studio is on the internet like
00:53:10
a thousand times you can piece that together you just have to put a lot of work into it yeah in 4k but yeah it was really cool go give it a
00:53:17
try I've found that our studio tours have become increasingly useful surprisingly in other things that we do
00:53:22
like some photography team came here the other day and they were like scouting locations they were like we're gonna we
00:53:28
want to take some pictures and it's going to be really cool we want to Stage something up and actually we watched your whole studio tour online so we had
00:53:33
some ideas based on what we saw we'd like to shoot here and here I was like oh great so yeah this is this has
00:53:38
happened before this is actually pretty sick the people get to use that stuff so shout out to the studio tours yeah uh
00:53:44
last one we want to mention and talk about is Google accidentally leaking something uh if you didn't catch the
00:53:50
sarcasm in my voice it's because uh I'm not good at it but Google leaks stuff all the time uh mostly in the world of
00:53:58
pixel this one was the pixel 8 leaked in an image on their website and it's just a guy holding up the pixel 8 on the phone and I guess on his wrist is what looks like a slightly different
00:54:12
Smart Watch we're not sure if that's the pixel watch or a new pixel watch or whatever but the end of the podcast but
00:54:18
I don't know if it's pixel watch two we're in pure speculation phase here I think this got posted I think David
00:54:23
might have posted it and then Alex was just like is that possibly a pixel watch leak too and then we looked at it I
00:54:31
guess the Verge made an article and then after they made that everyone commented that so they made another article about
00:54:36
it possibly being it but yeah this watch looks a little different it could be lighting it could be angles but but it's
00:54:42
definitely a pixel 8. yeah it's definitely a pixel 1 000 I like how it looks we know what the pixel 8 looks
00:54:49
like yeah there's like a slightly camera cut out around it's and the bar is still
00:54:55
there but the Flash and the camera cutouts look a little different but it's still got the pixel bar still looks like a pixel it's got the uh you know the
00:55:01
thermometer oh yeah is that do you know the thermometer leak that about it that went through yeah like take your temperature if you put it up to your head where exactly three years after this would have been useful you kind of
00:55:13
can just sort of wrap it around your forehead and get a general sense of your time you can still get sick that's true
00:55:19
that's true but is that enough for you to buy a phone with that as a primary new feature
00:55:26
over the previous you're picking the pixel 8 because you like taking your temperature a lot I can't stop you yeah
00:55:32
the good I'm I'm happy that future is available now that really feels like it feels like a Nexus feature like Nexus
00:55:40
phones used to do weird stuff like that yeah yeah I mean honestly what I'm most hoping for out of pixel 8 is like basic
00:55:46
stuff like tensor G3 to be good and efficient and fast like that's most of what I want for the new pixel probably won't happen yet because I think that G4 is when they go to tsmc oh no so yeah I
00:56:00
think it's Samsung again I do think it's a node shrink I need to double check that that's good maybe like foreign like
00:56:07
I think five millimeter let me check yeah well while you check that yeah this watch in this picture the reason it kind of looks maybe like a new one is it seems like it's less rounded and bubbly
00:56:18
on top and then it also looks like the digital Crown has this digital Crown at an official simple term yeah the uh did
00:56:25
what I did I said App Store and you got mad at me but digital crap I didn't get mad I got mad at myself um yeah the regular Crown what's it
00:56:32
called it's just called a crown a dial Crown it looks like it's colored so like right it kind of looks white there in
00:56:40
that photo right again could be lighting but hey the pixel watch design a little
00:56:45
flatter a little less bezel cool accent on the crown will I keep trying to pair to you listen I was thinking that the best part about using my Zenfone is that Mariah's pixel watch doesn't try to
00:56:58
connect to it every time I walk past her anymore um but that would be nice along with a lot of other things about it like
00:57:05
battery life but but you can't see that in the leak of a leak can't tell I don't know how they could make the
00:57:11
pixel watch thinner that seems really the last thing I'd want thanks for watching well because of
00:57:16
the battery life yeah and then you don't want pretty thin and has a pretty but it looks flatter in that picture no it does yeah I think less rounded would
00:57:28
maybe make it less like prone to just getting destroyed on the sides of it also true ooh any luck uh it says that tsmc is in 2025.
00:57:40
all right yeah with tensor G5 so it's just we're just hitting G3 right now yeah the pixel tensor G2 and the pixel fold is I can say it is smooth
00:57:53
but it is not efficient mm-hmm and I would really like it to be smooth and efficient also the modem is very power
00:57:59
hungry and not great yeah so the battery life's not great yeah it's fine it's fine we shall see we sound so excited I
00:58:08
can't wait this is a this is only halfway to the normal pixel leak which is like it went on sale and somebody bought one at a Best Buy and it's like
00:58:14
there's supposed to be out and a full unboxing is on yeah there's reviews on YouTube already this one's already
00:58:20
they're still selling them on eBay yeah uh how about that being said I think that's it for this week I'm sure next
00:58:26
week will be just as jam-packed we got a lot more to get into some really good videos coming up by the time you watch
00:58:32
this there's a there's a really good one that's hopefully live we'll see I'm working on it now so shout out to Future
00:58:37
me editing that uh but I think we should get a shout out to Future me Adam and it's these podcasts I'm editing the video that will go live around the time the podcast goes live so
00:58:49
shout out to Future me editing it while this gets edited so that they both come out at the same time that would be that
00:58:55
would be shout out to Future me eating dinner tonight nice trivia thank you you're right shout out
00:59:00
to Future David eating dinner thanks I can't find anywhere in Google's documentation where they ever refer to it as anything the crown the crown they
00:59:11
don't even use the word Crown they don't use the word knob I can't I can't even find a reference to the fact that it's
00:59:16
on the watch watch.com I know maybe it's not that's not anyway did you check the manual twisty button it doesn't seem
00:59:23
like they have a manual it seems like they just have a help center does the pixel watch exist if there's a pixel watch for sale but
00:59:30
nobody buys it my jokes keep getting stolen anyway trivia question number one okay Asus
00:59:38
here we go oh but actually first quick update on the score Marquez with five Andrew with one
00:59:46
carry that one nope just two it's just two David with six all right first question according to Asus the Asus name is
00:59:57
actually a reference to what Greek mythological creature when you guys see the answer you're gonna be like oh my
01:00:03
God I really hope I strong David right before you said that I had an idea and I feel very confident about it now Marquez is the only how do you feel like
01:00:15
in the dark I don't know I don't know you say mythological creature is a weird way of saying that which makes me think
01:00:21
I'm wrong but you're making me think I'm going to get the strong atom and then I'm gonna feel awesome oh all right flip
01:00:26
him and read what do we got yes oh you're right I knew wait Marcus okay David and I both put Pegasus yeah I like how they're like it means it's
01:00:40
like Pegasus but let's just say it differently too that's not what happened okay they used to be called Pegasus and
01:00:45
then they got split into two companies what was the other company called pegatron that's
01:00:57
how does that have wait where did Asus come from I thought you said it was part of
01:01:03
Pegasus and they got Asus and pegatron wait I think so Megatron you're lying yes it was called Pegasus wait okay and then they named it pegatron and Jesus
01:01:18
hold on a sec I'm not as bothered by the Asus as I am but anyway Marquez what did you put I wrote
01:01:25
a Zeus [Music] that's why I'm wrong it's funny because Ellis and I were talking about this we were wondering if I should call it a creature
01:01:39
or a character because there's only one Pegasus huh yeah it's not like a creature right
01:01:46
yes but it's also a character so I don't know I thought creature would be like a little bit of wolves but are there other
01:01:53
flying horned horses just that are not called Pegasus nope okay they do have a brother but it's not a horse whoa yeah anyway let's talk about TVs Best Buy TVs Best Buy 55 inch TVs what
01:02:08
is the cheapest one they sell and what is the most expensive one they sell I'm not asking for models I'm asking for
01:02:15
prices and um [Music] this does not include Magnolia products it's Best Buy's brand that's Best Buys like uh super high end and remember
01:02:30
these televisions are 55 inches halfway there and as close as without going over I might have been wrong they might have started as Asus and then spun
01:02:42
off pegatron that's what I found yeah I think that's what actually happened all right guys that's fine we'll start with
01:02:47
most expensive oh I just wrote both that's fine same okay so we all did for most expensive I put 3 200 all right I put 22.99 all right I put 44.99 Marquez
01:03:00
takes this one the most expensive 55-inch TV sold at Best Buy costs 8 000. what dollars hello Ellis Rovan here uh yesterday while
01:03:14
doing this trivia question I turned on the stupidest part of my brain and somehow totally missed that this seven
01:03:21
thousand dollar TV is uh it's a mirror it's expensive because it's also a mirror um that's why it's so expensive so dim and also uh
01:03:33
it's a mirror anyway the second highest one is six thousand dollars 55 inch 4K TV intended for the outdoors so it's super bright
01:03:46
anyway cheapest TV what do we have uh I wrote 199 199 okay I wrote 129. 129. I wrote 120. unfortunately all three of you have gone over the cheapest TV at
01:04:03
bestbuy.com is in a hundred and twelve dollars wait it's on clearance though oh is is it yeah oh that's a hell of a clearance oh my God
01:04:15
448 exactly this is exactly and it also says unavailable unavailable nearby but no but I no I I
01:04:24
it's in store in Brooklyn right now dude I'm confirmed I'm eight dollars over please
01:04:32
confirmed that when shopping for a TV you can literally pick a random number and you will find a TV in the size you want wow for that price why is that on clearance for
01:04:43
it's normally 500.60 that thing must catch on fire yeah that thing 100 as a recall and it has like Alexa built in oh for 55 oh it's an Amazon brand oh it's
01:04:59
their Amazon brand TV it's 4K did you say yeah you can get a 4K 55 inch Amazon Branded TV for 120
01:05:07
Fire TV built in all they do is spy on air every move that's it but 4K 55 inch they're not that expensive yeah that's under a thousand but 120 well yeah 112
01:05:19
is crazy the Sony Pulse Elite headset that's for the uh the portal that's more expensive than that that's two times this looks what's this dang wow either way this has been a learning experience
01:05:32
I'm glad we now know just how many different prices there are for 55-inch TVs and I'm glad that I learned about
01:05:39
