00:00:00
[Music] hey what is up people of the internet welcome to a bonus episode of the waveform podcast a little bit outside of
00:00:11
your everyday scheduled programming or I guess every week scheduled programming but we like to do that sometimes and
00:00:16
we've got something fun for you this week we're your hosts Ellison Adam it's our time this week all right so this is trivia Extravaganza number four I'm
00:00:30
pretty sure the last few have gotten crazier and crazier and crazier and we had a meeting and we figured we were going to take the arc that all TV shows do in seasons 4 and five we were going
00:00:43
to return make it worse we're going to return to Our Roots no crazy intros no G fuel gimmicks just straight trivia straight fire three
00:00:57
segments with ad breaks in between just like all of them love that just like TV okay do we start with the scores cumulatively and then we like we have points to play with is that how this works absolutely Adam so the way this is
00:01:10
going to work is you guys have your scores from the whole season up until this point we're going to continue
00:01:17
adding on to that but each question will be worth whatever the hell we want basically so your scores don't don't
00:01:22
really matter until now now the scores matter Marquez is holding something up to the to the m to the m to the camera but I don't know what in third
00:01:34
place Andrew manganelli with 16 points baby in second place with 20 points hailing from Northern California the East Side by Nevada David IML I got Junk
00:01:54
in my sh nice and in first place only one point ahead of David he's been hailed as the greatest Tech reviewer on the planet
00:02:09
whoops Marquez the unit brown Le I mean that's a lot of smarts but also a lot of
00:02:15
data fantastic happy to be here I hope you play sounds I don't know why I'm expecting the blinds to open and a
00:02:21
studio audience to be behind it watching so great it is worth noting for uh non East Coast viewers we do tape this show in New Jersey it is January and a studio audience would be sitting in a 30° chill
00:02:36
outside in a parking lot that's correct but without further Ado I'm going to turn it over to my lovely co-host Adam
00:02:43
for our first category which is wony that's right a portm of whack and acronym to discuss all the weird acronyms we find in the technology space Adam there's a lot thank you for
00:02:57
clarifying so the first question API what does that stand [Music] for they're writing they're writing they're all locked in like usually they're talking and joking I like the
00:03:16
gimmick I need I need the the the random I need the gfuel questions here as the one who got all of them wrong I need [Music] them fuel is an
00:03:28
acronym no I don't know Gamers for you even Life Is that real no I made that up what all right what do we got David
00:03:39
screwed that up application programming interface booah one point for David I got none of
00:03:45
that I I I made a pure guess but I got one of them right I said automated programming interface I see we heads up
00:03:52
two what did you put actions per instance ooh I like that Snappy no that sounds really good it's kind of like the like what's your APM yeah that's iess Starcraft that's
00:04:03
what everyone used to use as a metric sick apms very nice all right number two you may remember when we went to
00:04:09
Virginia to save the internet we witnessed an encryption scheme using Shaw 256 Shaw is an acronym sh ha what
00:04:18
does it stand for I wasn't even there I don't remember this um it's also just like never mind never mind wait how do you spell Shaw
00:04:29
it's sh H good I thought there was a w in pure guess I don't [Music] know smells like dry eras marker in here
00:04:47
flip him and read boys what do you got I wrote some sorry what you wrote what okay I wrote
00:05:00
some homes are and then I was thinking like not secure no I really couldn't think of anything I wrote security home
00:05:14
ass yeah I didn't get that right what' you write Marquez I did write Sweet Home Sweet Sweet Home Alabama baby I got it
00:05:26
wrong that is a good guess but that's pretty good guess they went to Virginia to secure hash
00:05:32
algorithm I should have known that I think that was the closest secure I got the SEC part right
00:05:38
yeah yeah all right for this next one we all know 5G we all know 4G but do we remember the sweet spot right in between them 4G
00:05:51
LTE yeah what does LTE stand for this is going to be a long episode don't worry it getss better it's tough I remember this being
00:06:04
a dumb acronym it is then I'm wrong s for long uh late Home [Laughter] Alabama ooh o o Marquez can we start
00:06:24
with you this time I wrote long-term Evolution oo and you are so corrupt nice I wrote light transmission excelsor cuz I don't know what the E is
00:06:37
I also I also didn't know the LT long-term Evolution nice job points for David and Marquez very nice do remember
00:06:44
long-term Evolution Advanced oh boy do I that was bad thanks AT&T tough times oh
00:06:51
wait was that like 5G yeah and it was also AT&T yep all right all right clearly we have the heat t up too high two related formats competitors of the
00:07:04
popular jpeg what does he and its cousin hevc stand for and maybe I should make this one worth negative points what I'm just
00:07:18
kidding it's worth positive points I don't use an iPhone so I never was GNA it's on Android 2 no it isn't it's on
00:07:38
Pixel okay what do we got I wrote high efficiency image format and high efficiency video format that is correct wait I thought you were asking H and H
00:07:52
you said oh well both oh oh no no no no no I said h I said what did I say h i and H I do think you said you said H VC yeah oh I
00:08:06
don't we will consult the tape yeah it sounded I thought I thought think you said VC I thought you did I thought I did you said yeah you said yeah you said H and it's cousin the video format what
00:08:19
did you write Andrew webp that's such a good answer though yeah what's the deal with web PE you it's video format cousin yeah yeah I know I'm pretty sure I said HC also
00:08:32
technically David you're wrong on both but you're close enough that we're going to give it to you why am I wrong on both David said high efficiency image format
00:08:39
it's high efficiency image file format one and two you said high efficiency video format it's high efficiency video
00:08:46
coding for wait so one of the fs is silent all right I'm done with this I'm done with this acronyms at them all right let's uh I'm just gonna I'm I'm kicking it off to the next one I'm tired
00:08:56
of Acron let's go this next section so do I get points or not is called the news I dig it I like that all of this week's hottest stories this week this
00:09:11
week Vision Pro in one no no Vision Pro questions also if you couldn't tell everyone in this room is exhausted from
00:09:17
Vision Pro content it's a miracle we're even recording this right now this is a fact and it's Tuesday and it's Tuesday
00:09:25
also disclaimer number two disclaimer number two uh this is coming out the following week so these stories may be
00:09:33
old news by the time you're listening to it I don't have the brain power to say next week or the previous week or
00:09:38
whatever math calculation so I'm going to speak as if it's this week even though it's next week bet cool all right
00:09:45
I'm not gonna ask questions question number one okay earlier this week Joanna fairies who
00:09:52
earlier in her career was a vice president at the NFL was appointed to be the president of what made major gaming
00:10:03
[Music] company the NFL I didn't really catch this news as I was busy editing the entire time didn't
00:10:26
The Vision Pro just inject all news into your brain once pretty much what flip him and read put Activision Blizzard I put Activision it's half a technically
00:10:38
technically technically it's how do we do this because no because techn no no no te technically Activision Blizzard
00:10:45
has a CEO because they are one company she is the president of Blizzard okay so separate entity so unfortunately I do feel like we can give David the point Andrew I don't feel like we can give it I'll be fair cuz I specifically didn't
00:10:57
put blizzard because just fired 2,000 people so you're saying they wouldn't hire someone and pay them $2 million a year so Marquez you're not thinking was shareholder value my friend that's
00:11:08
arguably the better answer EA well besides it's wrong but oh I wrote EA EA is a great answer if you don't know what it is NFL EA Mak sports games that's what I figured that makes a lot of sense
00:11:20
EA also that's why you're wrong to be clear they did not hire her from the NFL she went from the NFL to Activision to
00:11:27
be their Vice like and then she just went from being a vice president at Activision to
00:11:34
president of Blizzard now she can grind in World of Warcraft classic it's actually called season of
00:11:41
Discovery now season of Discovery never mind what still classic the old people earlier this week senior Verge editor Tom Warren discovered that after updating windows on one of his machines
00:11:54
Microsoft Edge had scraped what data off of his computer [Music] uh scraped off what data what
00:12:12
data updating data oh I did see this story feel like I vaguely hurry up hurry write it down
00:12:23
write it down write it down I did see this oh in time I wrot it in cursive what you write did you write in
00:12:30
cursing yeah it's for audio it's a scribbled mess time zone no I wrote screen time no I wrote
00:12:43
cookies technically I'm assuming that's how they did it but no no no no it did it did scrape his cookies it wasn't in the headline but when you read SCP well yeah that's how they have to do it but the point of it was that they got the
00:12:54
tabs the Chrome tabs Chrome tabs when Tom wow after updating his uh Windows computer he opened Edge and the very last Chrome session he had open just came up tabs and all in Edge
00:13:09
and and what happened is there they did add that feature to Edge but it's a toggleable feature and he had had it
00:13:16
toggled off and it still did it and they force toggled it on with the newest no if he went in the settings it was still
00:13:21
toggled off but it just scraped Anyway by accident nice on accident don't ask permission ask forgiveness yeah yeah exactly don't all right Microsoft if
00:13:32
you're three trillion dollar company do whatever the hell you want last week a former meta engineer by the name of
00:13:37
Tyler Banbridge opened up his new social media platform called pif FYI it just passed 10,000 users as of Monday pyi is the companion app to Bane Bridge's much
00:13:50
more successful newsletter called what it's called piffy is it's called piff ye I don't while you guys are thinking
00:14:05
it's a new I read the first like 20 words in this story and it's a newsletter yes it's a newsletter did
00:14:12
anyone used to go on that site D piff or just me that piff it was like uh band camp but exclusively for rap mixtapes all right I wrote
00:14:25
Pi well we're going to come back to that I didn't even write anything all right total guess I named the only newsletter
00:14:32
I know morning morning Brew so D David why did you write Pi because I remember in the 20 words of the article that I read that it was like an extension of his other thing yeah yeah you get the
00:14:47
points it was called Perfectly Imperfect which is where the pi and Pi FYI derives
00:14:52
from so uh that's that's a that's a news I think that counts yeah uh if you're curious the whole idea of Pi and then Pi
00:15:00
FYI is nonf famous people who are certified to be quote unquote cool giving uh recommendations what yes it's very weird so Adam I mean Adam has a newsletter
00:15:12
called cool Supply I feel like he yeah it's picture like the the low side version of Adam E I don't want that I
00:15:20
just want Anyway Amazon announced they will be shutting down their bid to buy the
00:15:25
makers of hit Robo vacuum Roomba oh yeah forcing them to pay a $94 million termination fee wow what is the name of
00:15:32
the company who both made the Roomba and will be receiving this payout oh God I remember this finally no one H God what was
00:15:45
it uh if I if this is wrong I'm literally walking out it's like really it's a really full of themselves name that's what I remember uh no hints
00:15:57
Andrew hurry up David write something write something I believe you got it write based on how fast you wrote it I wrote
00:16:04
it in C I'm woring that there's like a bigger version of it but okay flip it and read ioot I Robot I do remember that
00:16:12
now do you know why I remember you write I wrote robor Rock which is their biggest competitor ah the reason I
00:16:19
remember is cuz if you have one you keep trying to go to the Roomba app but it's the IR robot app and in a totally
00:16:25
different spot and very annoying yeah another fun fact they were going to buy it for $1.2
00:16:30
billion interesting how did you just have that fact on Deck I did DN it's surprising that they're not called
00:16:36
Roomba because that's what everybody not only calls them but calls other Rob Roomba after their other robotic can you
00:16:43
not what other Robo switched to X and is a company that makes Kleenex called Kleenex yes no it's Proctor and
00:16:53
Gamble is it wait I could I Kimberly it's Kimberly Clark it's Kimberly CL but Kleenex is like the company yeah I think so no Kleenex is the brand name it's
00:17:03
like okay a better analogy would be Dyson right Dyson is a company yeah but they like they make sucking tools tools that suck um and they
00:17:16
because they why don't you just say air compressors sure air compressors because they make they just focus on air
00:17:22
compressors they can put air compressors in Vacuums in fans in hair dryers hair dryers headphones ioot Nam themselves as yeah headphones I Robot Nam themselves
00:17:34
as like iroot because they they're not just going to make vacuums even though that's what they've done so far cuz they've completely dominated that space I forget H yeah I mean it's it's better
00:17:46
than us robotics yeah do you know what their big device was uh Hellfire missiles the Palm
00:17:54
Pilot oh ridiculous anyway would you guys rather do another Amazon headline or an apple headline is this a this week headline yeah Amazon
00:18:09
Amazon Amazon is adding commercials to its Prime video this is what it was going to be about charging an extra $3
00:18:15
to remove them now I don't know $299 per Amazon per Amazon where was I what the most mid show on Prime video per Amazon's announcement how many minutes of commercials will be shown per hour oh
00:18:30
I didn't per hour total guess again I don't use this service per hour in minutes if it was Hulu guess
00:18:41
or uh let me see what your answers are and then I'll figure out how to do this fairly we're still at the beginning of
00:18:47
our game folks we have a long long way to go I'm excited I love [Music] this okay I wrote it in curs
00:18:59
um three that is correct is it really it's a range but three is within that range what else do you guys got I eight
00:19:06
uh no that is outside I wrote 17 per hour Marquez just got hired as the new CEO of that's I thought number for cable TV cable TV is pretty much that ratio 17
00:19:21
minutes per hour for 60 minutes yeah cuz SpongeBob episodes are only like 13 22 minutes 22 minutes that's eight so it's eight over 2 eight know that's like
00:19:33
almost damn that's one 3 to one yeah that's about yeah Marquez is this is the difference Marquez is impressive when he's wrong I'm just an idiot all right next question you gave
00:19:45
me the point yeah I gave you the point already hey just uh just check in just check Mak sure you didn't forget worth
00:19:51
Five Points oh cuz why not okay okay everyone got real serious after iOS update 17.3 Shazam now functions with internal audio streams while what device
00:20:04
is connected yes internal audio streams that's what I said I don't my answer doesn't there's is
00:20:23
it what about I want to say yeah yeah that's what I wanted to put I put Pro wrong I put airpods that's what I was going to put yeah okay correct that felt
00:20:42
pretty obvious I put headphones correct again headphones was the answer we were looking for but obviously airpods with
00:20:48
an apple productable answer all right I think we have one more headline and then
00:20:54
oh Five Points let's go lead all right last one should got point for C we're still missing let me just adjust one my we're still missing Vision Pro
00:21:06
app entries for major players in the software game yeah however one company announced that not only its app will be available for the headset at launch but it will eventually add features such as
00:21:19
realworld pinning and 3D object sharing I mean that's a lot of that's a lot of data they kind of have done that this is a third party app a third party app just announced they're going to
00:21:32
support these two features in their Vision Pro app that is correct just announced I don't just
00:21:39
announced announced in the past two or three days I read something like this I bet you did oh hurry I got it what'd you get I wrote
00:21:50
it in block letters Zoom let's go oh interesting yeah I I didn't write so wow it was Zoom all right we're GNA
00:22:03
take it to commercial before continuing with our game but first no I'm just kidding we've been
00:22:09
doing that uh cool see you in a little bit be right back wait score update uh we'll do it when we get back okay make him think a little yeah give them something to come back to use your
00:22:26
brain welcome back to trivia Extravaganza so quick update on the score Marquez 28
00:22:35
that was a surprise to me sounds great Andrew car carry the five carry the five 22 all right let's go David with 27 the next round is a bit different
00:22:49
I'll have Ellis explain the rules so this round is called they don't make that model anymore and what we're going to do is we're going going to list a product and the year it came out these
00:23:00
are all very old Tech products and you guys have 2 minutes to make a guess on how much that product retailed for when it came out accounting for inflation not
00:23:12
accounting for the inflation year I have the prices adjusted for inflation for funsies but these are I want to know
00:23:19
MSRP of the era um and just so you guys know I hope you have fun because this one was so brutal to search I was like oh this will be a fun little idea I'll just get to it and like dude two days
00:23:32
later I feel like every time we do this Adam and Ellis are like pump for trivia extravagance and then you see them a few
00:23:38
days into working in it and you're like you guys okay yeah you know yeah when you're Googling things like Radio Shack
00:23:44
fall 1996 catalog it's like oh man I canest that Googling launch msrps is the band of soten we do it all the time even just from like last year doesn't matter what it's on sale for I will have you
00:23:58
know that some of these Ellis had to literally pull up like PDF Library screenshots from old magazines to get
00:24:05
the price for that that's epic so assuming we don't get them on the nose because we don't have that like catalog
00:24:10
index in our brains is it like closest wins we're going to do closest yeah so not prices right rules whoever is
00:24:16
closest over or under all right all right ready yep cool so our first product is from
00:24:22
1975 1975 it is the pong Home console this early on in the pong console's life it had a hard time uh getting picked up by retailers it was very very expensive
00:24:33
for the era but in time for Christmas Sears worked out a deal with Atari to sell it as a Sears exclusive as a Sears branded game it was a Sears tame um and
00:24:45
that is where the Sears Christmas catalog from 1975 I found this price in you have 2 minutes max on the
00:24:51
board 1975 not the band I'm thinking that Sears adding their brand added more money you think it added money I assumed
00:25:03
it would deduct money from it wow having such a hard time but think about Sears in 1975 they were popping they were hot
00:25:10
yeah because they were cheap Atari who cares about games all about seus and Ella said that it was because like that
00:25:18
it was having a hard time selling that this and the co-branding made it easier to sell for Christmas having hard time
00:25:24
selling was because it wasn't Sears brand that's all anyone cared about games uh just to be clear it was having
00:25:30
a it wasn't selling prior to this because no retailer thought it would sell and would agree to sell it in their
00:25:36
stores because it wasn't serious branded uh because it was expensive and because there's no such thing as Amazon yes now
00:25:42
that checks out okay so it's got to be so you have to find it in store original MSRP of 1983
00:25:49
1975 I don't even know what things C how much did a cheeseburger cost back there probably like I think that's a great way
00:25:55
to judge inflation is how much did McDonald Hamburger cost at that point I just want to remind you you're on the
00:26:01
clock so at least write something down I'm writing I'm a movie was 5 1975 right I I think a cheeseburger was like a dollar back then uh you have about a
00:26:13
minute oh that's a long time it's the remind me the name of it say the name one more time the pong Home console
00:26:19
Marquez you're familiar with pong right I know what pong is yeah so this is pong after it was an arcade game this is the
00:26:25
first home version of pong one bu and it's worth noting this is the price without the power supply don't know why the power buy the power supp buy it separately I don't understand why maybe
00:26:36
they just assume that can we guess the power supply price I don't have it written down but I could find it just I
00:26:41
can you find it just throw it at the end of the Pod or something like that okay I'm very interested um all
00:26:48
right my markers kind of sucks can I see those markers is it's right here is this
00:26:53
just straight up closest price not like go you're go over cool so I feel like to
00:27:02
the people out there listening who owned this or bought this some of our prices are going to be
00:27:08
like are you kidding me yeah but remember a cheeseburger was 15 cents all right it sounds like you guys are ready
00:27:13
I want I want to see I want to at least that's what my grandma said all right what do we got I wrote
00:27:20
$4.99 not even close I at $4 99 I mean I at 49 you know what's weird that number is perfect where actually none of those are
00:27:33
close all right I wrote $85 85 and Marquez I wrote $99 Marquez gets it it retailed for $989 5 adjusted for inflation that's about
00:27:46
$580 today dang that's adjusted for inflation now inflation goes hard ho smokes the power supply retailed for $7.95 $7.95 what is that $ what is this
00:28:00
apple it's like $1,000 inflation dollars all right up next we have the trs8 home computer the TRS 80 home computer this was in fact
00:28:13
4K and by that I mean the entire operating system fit on 4K of ROM got it got it got it got it and and if a single one of you responds to that joke talking about level two or for Tran you are a
00:28:26
nerd just saying I'm not a nerd yeah you've exposed wait what was the question the question how much does it cost it's the only every the same question every time folks Mar gu was
00:28:39
writing and David and I were just waiting Vision Pro is weighing heavily yeah on your neck on your neck I know
00:28:46
but I'm realizing that Marquez has actually spent the most time in Vision Pro and I wonder if it's making him smarter and more alert no it's not it's
00:28:53
definitely not truncating his brain it's giving the outside of my head what it's a personal computer the trs8 sold
00:29:01
by Radio Shack oh you didn't tell me that and wait and what was the date oh 1976 thank you Andrew these are going to
00:29:07
be coming in chronological order but you're right I didn't finish more a point for that one give him a point what
00:29:15
let's go just handing out sorry someone's paying attention that's wild yeah I don't know also it comes
00:29:22
with the monitor I don't know if that changes things wait wait the computer comes with the monitor but the the game
00:29:27
with own power I imagine this computer also came with the power supply seemingly so I'm trying to compute
00:29:35
inflation dollars yeah cuz I know no no I want the original price but when you said that the $100 was in 1975 is
00:29:46
$500 well remember also like the video game Market didn't exist in the same way so the only way they could Market that
00:29:52
was as a toy there was so it's an expensive toy it was pretty much the most expensive toy you could buy this is
00:29:58
a computer competing against other computers yeah yeah so I Market myself on dating apps and yeah Radio Shack
00:30:05
[Music] wait my favorite part of that was you went back to the microphone to say true podcasters I'm a pro it's also I think
00:30:17
I'm willing to give out a point if anyone wants to take a guess as to what TRS stands for remember this was sold by
00:30:23
Radio Shack I guarantee s stands for system TRS how many points are you willing to bet on that three I'm
00:30:30
allowing Wagers you're willing to bet three points that the S stands for system yes I'll allow it you said system mhm all right you know what I'll just tell
00:30:41
you now okay so you have my three points or something do that I think you no no no no you just lose three points but I will allow that kind of wager too no I'm just throwing
00:30:53
some David how you feeling over there does everyone have an answer they're confident in
00:30:59
well what is what is the S1 for again uh I can't tell you so we don't know so oh
00:31:05
you tried to trick me I did trickster I've got an answer and how much was it I was about to say it the S doesn't stand for system it does not stand for
00:31:19
system possibly stand for it was made by Radio Shack stupid is what it sounds all right all right flip these boards okay okay what do we got wow that's a
00:31:34
very specific number $299 all right all right and iote $150 all right all right and I have I have the lowest guess at $139.97 all right that means our points
00:31:45
are awarded to David these comp these this computer retailed for $599.95 which adjusted for inflation is $3,300 that's a Vision
00:31:59
Pro that's a face computer and anyone's final guesses as to what TRS stands for I to wrote totally real serial but like a serial number I like how hard you're trying to figure out what s stands for
00:32:12
when totally real was your first I mean it was it was Radio Shack TRS stands for
00:32:18
Tandy which is Radio Shacks parent company Radio Shack he told you the answer like twice Cy Radio Shack wait so you're telling me
00:32:28
that putting the Sears branding on the pong system lowered the price but putting the Radio Shack branding on a computer system made it $3300 that was a good hu Houser that's a
00:32:42
lot that's that's pricey wow Radio Shack was it only does one thing you can only afford that if oh no sorry I'm still on pong that's totally different never mind okay yeah
00:32:53
that's fine I guess it's a computer all right next up is the the Panasonic pv600 a VCR from 1980 how much was it the first
00:33:05
generation VCR is packed with all the bells and whistles timer check channel changer you got it wow this first generation VCR is almost identical to
00:33:15
the iconic RCA vdt 600 which I don't know what that is but Ellis wrote this so he knows what it is top-of-the-line first generation VCR 1980 let's go for
00:33:26
the young kids there what does VCR stands for again it stands uhem video cassette recorder also I know that the PV stands for panav vision good job David do not
00:33:41
give him points don't do it I will give you points if you know the RCA branding equivalent of Pano Vision n sorry I was writing in cursive
00:33:53
what' you say RCA the RCA equivalent of pan Vision oh what was the RC select a vision oh yeah oh I'm not going to be able to listen to the song no no that's
00:34:05
okay and I realized how stressed it made me when I got towards the end are you ready for those wondering
00:34:11
why music is playing we requested it because it was very quiet now it's just stressing me out in another way first
00:34:16
generation products are always more expensive yeah but like this is a first generation product First
00:34:23
Generation movies TV related that's when finally beat out betax no this is first
00:34:31
generation so they're they're both on the market and also didn't yet be it would be another six seven maybe even 10
00:34:39
years before the first pre-recorded content was sold on VHS wait so you just record you couldn't even put any oh this is where you recorded your own exactly which is why the timer and the channel
00:34:50
changer were such important features to have cuz if you were at a restaurant changed your channels yeah not just that
00:34:56
you could put in in times and channels so it record one program at one time change channels at the time to catch
00:35:02
every single dude these things were pretty lit time to be alive and that's why it's so frustrating when people are
00:35:09
like oh man like the only reason like people chose betamax is because of this or it's like the betax machine does not
00:35:15
have any of these features wow yeah at the first generation product had all these features this is a rant Ellis has
00:35:20
been dying a have for like two years it's it's okay anyway let's see what you guys got I put who 100
00:35:27
$29 I also put $129 okay maybe I should undo that oh no so what did you put Marquez I put $77
00:35:39
Oh My Sweet Summer child guys In 1980 this product retailed for $1,295 adjusted for inflation this thing cost5 Grand holy crap no wonder that
00:35:53
those features oh my gosh how much were car so technically David and Andrew both got the point there yeah wow wow we
00:36:00
didn't even put 99 how is that more than dude when these things came out they were so expensive how we both put one
00:36:08
I'm thr out all logic from here on I'm just going to name a te YouTuber yeah all right next question from 1981 the Sony Walkman wm2 this second
00:36:22
generation Walkman was available in the United States and it was the best cassette Walkman of all time and
00:36:29
originally available in grayce and that's it so wman 2 but it was the original one uh it was the it's the wman 2 but it sold so much more than
00:36:42
the Walkman one that most people remember it as the first Walkman they were exposed to wow walking again man
00:36:50
okay this is a pretty popular product so I feel like it has to be reasonably priced this is unbelievably popular so
00:36:55
this is is this argue is like one of the first times you're carrying portable music with you portable personal music
00:37:03
with you well there were besides like a boom box versus like a boom box oh no there were portable radios at the time
00:37:09
they were just but but personal music that you get to pick so like what year you're picking the cassettes uh 1981
00:37:15
what this is the first one where the size of the player truly rivaled the size of the cassette itself okay right okay this is I think so it's like for
00:37:25
it's basically first generation yeah I said basically but it also but it's it's complicated because Sony is a Japanese company and the first Walkman was much more popular in Japan than it was in
00:37:37
should I say bleeding edge this is totally bleeding edge so I mean I should say that you should be saying how much
00:37:43
it costs I'm trying to think this out and by the all the other bleeding edge stuff
00:37:48
you thought think this is probably $50,000 back then right Adam Adam what was the company Sony uh how much did it
00:37:56
cost almost got him almost got him what do you I'm dting a point okay reasonable reasonable price here reice yeah I a
00:38:08
fork no that's my reasonable price for a Walkman POV you're a 16-year-old in 1980 three 1980 one you're listening to The Beach Boys you're listening to the
00:38:23
waveform podcast you're listening to The Beach Boys in 1981 if you're hip like me you were wouldn't it be nice we all have
00:38:31
an answer yeah Marcus is tired of let's what do we got I put $29 $29 the range on this is crazy this is crazy okay I put 3.99
00:38:44
my99 I put 99 Marquez takes it it retailed for $ 8590 yes what was the inflation adjusted for inflation that is
00:38:54
$32 I was thinking this was like so unbelievably popular VCR $1,200 that makes no sense there's a lot of stuff in there yeah you could walk
00:39:05
around with this home theater stuff is expensive yeah dude my dad wasted all of the money that we didn't have on the stuff think of it this way think of it this way too like you know the bandwidth
00:39:18
of audio tape is zero to 20,000 htz or 20 to 20,000 htz right so in order to have the uh feric oxide go
00:39:31
back anyway it's a luxury product nobody else could do it someone's going to be really bad I did that cuz they were into that go watch technology connections they'll uh they'll explain it better than I ever
00:39:43
could do you mind if I do this next one Adam go for it all right so this next one uh you know I think we've done all
00:39:50
these like sort of simple products let's get real high-tech okay real high-tech 1984 for oh the premier smart home device of
00:40:02
1984 say I feel like you were kind of I don't know what it was but wasn't it like the smart home The Clapper The
00:40:09
Clapper that's right 1984's Clapper was the smart home device to compete against
00:40:14
the x10 home automation protocol sold by the same company that sold the chiaia pet wow they're on one Titans they were on one back Titans of TV let them cook
00:40:29
1984 what else did they cook up in The Clapper and they had a an oven creativity to
00:40:37
they had an oven mitt that had finger slots called the OV glove I love it oh that's good they had a few yo if I could
00:40:43
invest in Reverse be I would love did they do oxyclean too uh I don't think so I think oxy's way newer so how much was a
00:40:55
Clapper how much 1984 okay so the Clapper that's a simple one that plugged into I'm positive I'm positive it
00:41:06
plugged into the wall and it was it just had to hear audio and send a signal it's got to be
00:41:12
cheap this got to be cheap I'm going cheap what year again I mean 1984 this was 1984's Google home pretty much yeah and Google home minis are like $2 in
00:41:23
serial box now is it like CL cereal dude it's if you buy something Google related it's hard not to get a Google home mini with it
00:41:36
somewhere oh my God but is this the Google home mini or is this this they just throw it in my window at
00:41:42
night throw it through your window with a note on it that's watch out just me I even think yeah oh man ah The
00:41:54
Clapper The Clapper it only works for one device actually you can plug uh uh I'm trying to remember the first
00:42:00
generation I think could do two and then they added a third device but you might have been able to do three devices the
00:42:06
one from retro Tech had two plugs from cheap companies now cost like5 like 20 bucks so what would be the equivalent of that although was this the
00:42:19
first gen Clapper or the second gen Clapper first gen Clapper I think we all did did you write number did you write
00:42:24
something not yet sorry sorry all right just canceled the count I'm sorry Mar what do you got all right my my answer I wrote down $9.99 all
00:42:35
right $9.99 $49.99 $49.99 $5 right the correct answer was $30 oh so you were Marquez Marquez what did you put oh no Andrew's closer 10 I'm
00:42:49
two cents closer right you're both $20 off well no because he's $9.99 and I'm $49 I'm aent under and so I'm two
00:43:01
cents it's funny I wrote 99 and I was like it'd be cool if one was closer due to the sents well played $30 well
00:43:09
played all right this one is from 1985 ready speed excellent quality bitmap Graphics convenience copying font switching and downloading quiet operation the most powerful tabletop
00:43:26
printer in the industry maxing out at 300 spots per inch this Beast of a machine can print at 22 different fonts between six and 24 Point sizes does it
00:43:38
have calbri and can print vertically or horizontally that's right it's 1985's Xerox
00:43:48
40 Xerox is 1985 4045 laser copier printer did they really have to differentiate that that it can do landscape and portrait dude don't don't even get me started on this one that's
00:44:01
hard that's hard stuff okay a Xerox printer a Xerox copier printer copier a Xerox laser copier printer no wonder Xerox Park had all that
00:44:16
Innovation all right what does Park stand for p RC no what does it stand for I'll give you a point one potentially a
00:44:24
really cool printers and printer printers are really cool that actually is what it stands for no it's the paloalto research center oh
00:44:36
isn't it weird that Xerox invented literally everything uh they invented the mouse uh that's true and the gooey
00:44:44
yeah a lot I wish cha cha chaia oh wait sorry so the printer the printer and the
00:44:50
scanner it's a printer I don't actually think it is a scanner no it is no it's a copy so I don't think it is a scanner
00:44:57
you have to scan to copy but I don't know if it could upload that to a I don't know so that's that's the thing is
00:45:03
uh well we'll get into it later but yeah it's a laser copier printer from 1985 seems really nice this is a business like enterprise wait was it like a big one one one of the big ones uh it's not
00:45:16
one of the really huge ones when you think of like the Classic 60s and70s Xerox it's much more similar in size to
00:45:24
like something you'd see in a university these days you know what I mean it's not like a small printer big
00:45:30
tabletop it's like that thing at your University that you had to pay to use you know what I mean sort of like that a
00:45:37
it is it is big but the the 60s like the 50s through 70s Xerox machines were like
00:45:44
half a room you know what I mean like they're not that big okay all right it sounds like you guys have numbers I wrote down a number let's see I feel
00:45:50
absurd wrote $9.99 $9.99 wow well we're $500 Delta each I said 1489 1489 I said 1,999 the point belongs to Andrew let's
00:46:05
go that's right this thing retailed for $4,995 adjusted for inflation that is 14
00:46:13
Grand nice business that doesn't surprise me all right Let's do let's do one more
00:46:21
bro it's at least an extra 2,000 so you can print it out landscape [Laughter] not just that you could you could go up to 24 Point font I was going to ask how
00:46:33
many pages per minute could it print that was going to be my barometer oh I had that uh PPM as part of this I didn't
00:46:40
write it down in my little script that to me is everything you know this thing was fast I would have had the in price if I knew that all the Zoomers say that
00:46:46
everything was more affordable when our parents were alive I'm pretty sure everything was way more exp well they wer buying this this was an Enterprise
00:46:53
as soon as Ella said Enterprise I was like this could be a million what's the equivalent to like a really expensive thing that we don't buy because it's
00:46:59
Enterprise the same thing printers and li like like industrial printers VHS industrial printers these cameras I mean
00:47:06
they still have but think about this okay like a VHS machine you would buy for your house
00:47:12
mhm but you can only do that if you're pretty wealthy really wealthy yeah but it's at least in your house what's the
00:47:17
equivalent of that for today uh the Apple Vision Pro a divola phantom that's another good one how much do they cost three four five ,000 jeez
00:47:28
yeah yeah all right last product all right I think this is a good one this is the Motorola Bravo lifestyle this pager was all the rage it
00:47:42
features timekeeping message timestamping and an auto onoff you can store up to eight numeric messages in it and in case you guys for some reason
00:47:54
have an encyclopedic knowledge of pager prices this is specifically the price for the neon yellow color oo whoa so do
00:48:03
you think neon yellow's like premium color neon yellow was a premium colorum nice extra was this was it released 3
00:48:10
months later to refresh the I think it actually might have been the the so the Motorola Bravo was a like a pretty popular like line of pagers and this is
00:48:21
the Bravo lifestyle plus so it's like the special version so you see someone with one of these bad boys clipped on and they mean bus uh actually possibly the opposite the
00:48:33
lifestyle series was in these like fun translucent Plastics it seemed like it was for teenagers neon yellow is when
00:48:40
they're like we finally gotten this hardcore teenagers there it is like we've done enough of the black one for
00:48:45
businessmen that how do we sell a new version to a new audience like when they made the wman but durable and yellow so
00:48:53
I'm guessing it's cheaper than the traditional beeper more expensive than the lifestyle version it was more expensive than the traditional version
00:49:05
but by an amount of money that it feels like I'm trying to think of an equivalent product where you have to spend like a little bit more to get a
00:49:11
different color yeah but by inflation the human AI pen damn yo it's $100 more for anything
00:49:18
but the base color Tesla Model 3 yeah any car yeah but cars feel different there if I had this thing I would have a shirt that said eat sleep
00:49:30
pagee I think you're like vastly overestimating how much a pager could do oh this is 91 by the way did I say that
00:49:37
adjusted for inflation i b 2004 no was Oney old nice I was a thought was born then or were you 90 also I was 91 you were 91
00:49:49
nice how much did this cost I will not be got um so it was for the teens I'm imagining P Adam's mom is like I think
00:50:05
I'm going into labor Pages Adam's dad on this and is like you got to get home if
00:50:10
you think my dad had a lifestyle plus you're mistaken he was more an OG lifestyle he was an OG yeah OG Bravo OG
00:50:18
Bravo guy Moto Bravo lifestyle plus all right let's see these boards fellas electric yellow Edition I wrote 199 wow
00:50:25
I wrote 89 I wrote I wrote I wrote 20821 I think I might wow I I totally had a brain fart I'm sorry can we do that one more time Mar is used to The
00:50:40
Vision Pro protecting his eyes yeah I wrote 199 I wrote 89 I wrote 20821 who is closest though what I just for getet it's $115 why am I closest I'm
00:50:56
89 closest yeah Andrew you're killing this wait what is I'm it's cuz I'm the I'm the Boomer here all right before we go to commercial break sorry do that
00:51:07
before we go to commercial break sorry do that again before we before we go to commercial break I wanted to invite a trivia veteran to
00:51:18
come and do one quick question specifically Mariah zc no please please don't I insist is this
00:51:29
uh in the theme of the current theme Here I updated it this is in the theme of Mariah zc okay this could be any
00:51:35
format any theme I have no it couldn't it's RuneScape based oh boy I so I know you all have been dying for
00:51:44
a follow-up question um so I have a crawfish fun fact for you today um Louisiana Farmers annually Harvest up to 150 million pounds of crawfish each year
00:51:56
that's a lot oh my God how many pounds of crawfish has the current world record holder Sonia Thomas consumed in one
00:52:04
sitting it's a multiple choice question no wait didn't Marquez say how many crawfish he's eaten in a sitting I've
00:52:10
eaten 16 a day well you have options well no that's a good point that's that's what Marquez can do an amateur
00:52:17
eater what would a pro eater it's multiple choice oh it's sorry how many pounds how many pounds okay options
00:52:24
pounds option a 1.5 lb amateur option b 4.7 lb and option C 6.5 lb can I clarify
00:52:35
something before we go no choose your pick how many pounds choose your Fighter world record holder yeah those are amateur numbers are the
00:52:47
numbers the meat that was taken out of them or how much the Crawfish weighs it's the starting weight okay yeah oh oh
00:52:54
that's that changes everything that kind of does change everything all right so David you said
00:53:01
option b i as well and then what did Marquez say C I said c all right well Marquez you are correct was a trick question 6.5 lbs of crawfish that's sick
00:53:15
I got the sickening amount of food there's actually a video of it online no can you just play the sound and uh do you want to hear how many other things she's consumed other records she has
00:53:28
when I heard world record holder I imagine crawfish was a specific one just to have a world record and she probably has a bunch of other world records of
00:53:34
other random Foods she does it's very impressive okay um she actually I think for the Crawfish record beat all the
00:53:41
other male competitors by multiple pounds wow so this tiny woman her nickname is the Widow Maker um what and she has also eaten 183 chicken wings in
00:53:54
12 minutes minutes I can't even imagine that I don't think I could pull that many off the bone in 12 minutes uh and
00:54:01
she's also e 183 no way yeah uh she's eaten 206 guioza in 10 minutes that sounds delicious ungodly and also 80 chicken nuggets in 5 minutes that's nuts
00:54:16
that's a lot of [Laughter] crawfish it sure is Andrew we're gonna take a quick break and uh we'll have some more I I I assume
00:54:30
trivia Tech questions I assume we're actually going to be eating crawfish that's I wish dude that'd be sick though
00:54:36
I craw wish all right welcome back everybody uh Ellis here we're going to begin our
00:54:50
final uh round in waveform trivia Extravaganza but first first a quick update to our score Adam Marquez 28 I
00:55:02
have gone down oh yeah because you bet three M Andrew 27 yo I'm just saying MVP round there I got Marquez to lose and I got a bunch of points David 28 oh in the league all right time
00:55:18
to buckle up all right go this is our audio a fan favorite all right today's this time this go arounds this Extravaganza
00:55:32
theme is Tech announcements I am going to play an audio clip of the announcement of a product and you need to tell me which product that is for
00:55:44
example if I play so classic three things a widescreen iPod with touch controls a revolution uary mobile phone and a
00:55:57
breakthrough internet communications device Vision Pro it would you would guys would say are you getting it the iPhone one the
00:56:07
iPhone yes so if one of these isn't the developers chant I'll be very upset this
00:56:13
will be what was Windows wasn't it are you talking about the one where they're all like dancing dancing on a stage is
00:56:18
that not I thought that was Dev I think that was like Windows 98 or something I thought it was a Windows but that one is not UNH here unfortunately but we do
00:56:25
have some other good ones like this one now I want to point something out here the thickest part
00:56:32
of is still thinner than the thinnest part of the TZ No you are writing it David just we're talking thin here but he could be wrong it's the iPad so it's so
00:56:45
thin it even fits inside one of these envelopes that we've all seen I was there I remember and so let me go ahead and show it to you now for those was curious we do bleep out anytime the uh
00:56:58
product or company or anything is mentioned hence the now I want to point something out here I feel like everyone
00:57:04
would have got part of the all right uh everyone read your answers can't leave it at that can't leave it at what MacBook Air MacBook Air MacBook a MacBook Air MacBook Air three
00:57:16
correct answers way to go guys number three you think you would have got it anyway the envelope thing yeah if you
00:57:22
you stop before the envelope probably would don't worry they get increasingly less iconic okay
00:57:30
today I'm incredibly pleased to introduce our consumer product comes from the marriage of the excitement of the internet with the Simplicity
00:57:44
of even though this is a full-blooded we are targeting this for the number one use that consumers tell us they want a computer for which is to get on the internet
00:57:56
simply and fast okay I know I know this okay this we had this had this on retr Tech this this is probably you did I think it's
00:58:09
the cuz yeah it's people getting on the Internet for the first time it's the in the ' 80s it's a
00:58:15
full-blooded oh man I'm very wrong or now I are we still talking this the audio quality would have been the same because audio technology has barely changed yes I'm leaving my answer I
00:58:29
don't know I it's between two different computers what yours said well that's a good interesting all right let's hear your answers yeah what was so interesting I
00:58:41
think I wrote the iBook I wrote Chromebook I wrote the Lisa ah that was so the MacBook it was the iMac
00:58:52
G3 the first product the iMac or iBook g3c G3 the fun colored one remember I thought that was called the iBook G3
00:59:02
it's not a book the clam shell nope you're still wrong it's the iMac G3 it's the one the bubble oh getting on for the
00:59:09
first time cuz it was the kindergarteners were getting online for the first time and it's the I stands for internet internet Mac
00:59:18
Mac really MH yeah so is it internet pod too no well no by by that point it was just like a back it was just iconic by then yeah there was the Mac that's why he says it's a full blooded Macintosh I
00:59:31
had to bleed that part obviously um and that's why it's extra funny that Steve Jobs would be up there I almost put IB
00:59:38
the Chromebook but this one idea this one might be uh I don't know a Chromebook and quite frankly I couldn't be more excited is everything the rock is
00:59:50
Cutting Edge powerful exhilarating and like The Rock it will be the most electrifying thing coming out this year and what The Rock is to sports entertainment to the WWF
01:00:02
The oh sorry that got that that was not trimmed properly it was supposed to say will be to video
01:00:07
games uh yes that was actually Dwayne The Rock Johnson and he was standing on stage next to Bill Gates and I need to
01:00:14
remember what he was announcing that is so hard Marquez when he played this for me I had the exact same reaction I was
01:00:20
like I know this what is this I've seen this I love it's just the two of them standing next other and I'm so mad my
01:00:25
board's going to be blank cuz I don't remember what it is oh no I can Pi I can see it if this is right I'm very
01:00:32
surprised Marquez got it wrong then well it's Marquez did you not write anything I didn't write anything whoa all right
01:00:37
what' you guys write Xbox Xbox Xbox yes boxz was correct wait you said he was standing next to Bill Gates and that it was a video game device yeah I wrot windows and I was like I
01:00:53
don't know sorry Windows yeah all right number five you had it that was close the bar is pretty high in order to really create a new category of devices
01:01:03
those devices are going to have to be far better at doing some key tasks they're going to have to be far better at doing some really important things better than the laptop better than the
01:01:17
smartphone what kind of tasks I got it well things like browsing the web that's a pretty tall order something that's better at browsing the web than a laptop okay now some people have thought
01:01:33
okay that's a netbook it was problem netbooks aren't better at anything that's not true Ste
01:01:42
love my netf i l my AC slow they have quality displays and they run clunky old PC software that's true so they're not better than a laptop
01:01:54
anything they're just cheaper cheap laptops small small battery small screen you guys arguing with Steve Jobs in real time like that is so so funny Steve yeah that was a good time clearly didn't have
01:02:07
my e book I had an Asus laptop also but it was like a some some other I forgot it I reviewed it too E pc all right all right we what pad
01:02:20
sorry that's then you are I got surprised to myself what did you guys write I was like I really write that I also wrote iPad nice nice nice nice also the iPad
01:02:32
is not better at surfing the internet than the MacBook well now now it is no it's not oh then the MacBook no but then the netbook I had in 2008 oh my God yes
01:02:42
I don't know I don't know you guys never knew the pain man I had a netbook I know but that's what I'm
01:02:51
saying is like having a netbook is fine when you're like I'm not even gonna get into it let's get to the next one it's
01:02:57
not worth arguing with you guys oh I know this one thank you and good morning thank you for joining us here in New York City you know it was
01:03:09
just 18 months ago when outlined a new strategy to deliver people great mobile products at that time we recognized that the industry had shifted it had shifted
01:03:22
from a battle of devices to the war of ecosystems and in order to deliver consumers a competitive experience needed to be part of an ecosystem I got it which meant giving
01:03:35
people beautiful phones while also ensuring that we delivered a wide range of services and applications that
01:03:42
consumers expect today as a result we outlined deliberate steps would take to realize our strategy and bring to people great mobile
01:03:55
products what do we got well you didn't PR the time I was listening to the thing
01:04:00
so give me a minute here okay great mobile products all right I'm done great mobile products that last line is thrown me off but I think I'm sticking with what I wrote why I don't care this one's
01:04:11
worth two points we just decided what I'm sticking with what I wrote I don't I I have no idea okay it threw me off all right
01:04:24
uh all three wrong answers but for our audio listeners let's say them anyway uh Amazon Alexa speaker no app no aeropixel
01:04:33
7 no Andrew was the closest though the answer this was for the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 this is where they announced
01:04:40
they were going with the Windows Phone series 8 so when they said mobile devices at the end cuz that whose voice was that I don't know it sound familiar it sounded like Jeff Bezos for the first
01:04:52
half of it he did have a very heck executive voice uh and then I at the end got thrown off morning it's whoever was
01:05:00
theid I think that's what immediately just made me think app when they said mobile devices and ecosystem together I
01:05:06
thought that's when I thought Windows New York and New York pix a lot that's a recent one that was a good one I like
01:05:12
that but the audio sounded older than that yeah it did on to the next one dang dang hi dang I'm Michael and I'm a
01:05:19
product manager on the mobile team I just drove from the office in California to the D Young Museum in San Francisco that's so funny and I used a very exciting new feature of to guide me I'm
01:05:32
pleased to announce the beta launch of one of our most requested mobile features turn BYT GPS navigation with
01:05:39
voice guidance is coming to for Android powered phones navigation isn't your critical
01:05:46
GPS navigation system less than 1% of today's GPS navigation devices are connected to the cloud but navigation
01:05:54
was built from the ground up for Internet connected devices I don't know why beeping things very funny when I tested this round out
01:06:05
on Miles and Adam they both just like couldn't stop laughing I can imagine miles just laughing this whole time I
01:06:12
beep I feel like I'm wrong because it feels very obvious and Marquez looks very confused so I'm probably wrong the answer is the Apple watch remember it's bip's office in
01:06:25
bleep California that's right let's see what we got Google's office in Mountain View California because it is Google
01:06:31
Maps that is correct David way to go gole easy nice I wrote Garmin if it was glass they would have done the the audio bit of them jumping out of the blimp to land I didn't realize there was software
01:06:44
products on this list maybe I should have mentioned that there are Tech products yeah I just thought a product
01:06:51
was a device I no I understand the confusion unfortunately I cannot award you points but I will take
01:06:56
responsibility for the incoherence up next the circle perfect simple what was this some might say simply perfect stop Johnny I a
01:07:08
complete set of points all equidistant from a single point on one plane No Beginning No End no end to the beginning
01:07:20
this is fake right so round is that Circle phone so circular if you will what was the circle found little known
01:07:26
fact the Latin word for circle is Circus Circus isn't that delightful but that Delight inspired us to reimagine the circle for the
01:07:38
new precisely 3.5 mm in diameter forged and machined from the finest premium grade copper and iron housed in a unibody of diecast aluminium fancy
01:07:52
pronunciation this is for optimal to deliver the satisfying feeling of clip of clip a circle yes but also a
01:08:05
hole a tiny black hole with the gravitational pull of a trillion collapse Stars approximately wow I had to cut it off it it keeps going I have no idea I remember fre Inc I I yes I played this video in
01:08:22
here for you guys about year ago actually I remember listening to this in the upstairs office one
01:08:28
time why I'll give you a hint the key part of that was the 3.5 mm measurement of the
01:08:41
circle ROM I wrote it incursive what did you write incursive headphone jack that's t i you think this is the this is a product announcement for the headphone jack I think no that's
01:08:53
that's what I wrote but it's for a is it for a phone that still has the headphone jack it was for a phone that had a headphone jack when after Apple took it
01:09:00
away when after Apple took it away and that phone was wait wa wait give me a sec no wait what did Marquez WR yeah
01:09:05
headphone jack head jack wait uh the pixel one oh wait I feel like it was more around the HTC One I thought it was like pixel 3 the Pix no
01:09:18
the pixel 3 didn't have a headphone only the pixel one had a headphone jack only one did the pixel 2 did yes it did
01:09:24
there's a pixel 2 no other pixels had one 3.4 mm headphone jack refreshing that's what they said
01:09:30
refreshingly not new pixel well you're wrong because the pixel 5A did in fact have a headphone jack and this is the
01:09:37
announcement video for there was an announcement video for the pixel 5A it was announcement for the pixel 5A
01:09:42
specifically for the headphone jack and that was that video how did this not get more pressed I don't know wait so the announcement was specifically for the
01:09:48
headphone jack shut the f up I'm not giving that is such bull bull I mean we all would
01:09:54
get it it makes no difference yeah we wrote We all wrote that oh but that's not enough either now you have to change
01:10:00
these passwords every 3 months so we saw an opportunity to make users lives safer and easier through biometric
01:10:11
authentication now instead of typing a password you are the password it's the perfect combination of security and convenience one of the most exciting
01:10:22
examples of this is the iris scanner which Maps your iris and creates a unique digital signature an eye print
01:10:29
instead of a fingerprint oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh okay so okay fck oh
01:10:37
my God I'm I need to remember which phone this was for this one if you just want I'll
01:10:43
I'll accept the OEM just to make it a little easier oh oh but yes this was the announcement for a specific phone and maybe we'll do an extra point if you can get the phone to well that makes me really that changed my that changes the
01:10:55
game for me I'm just gonna guess one of them uh wasn't that one oh well all right okay David I wrote dude no it says
01:11:06
iPhone x it says iPhone thank you that is incorrect got it I wrote OnePlus that is also incorrect I wrote LG is it LG it it's the Samsung S8
01:11:18
unpacked they were the first huh not first first yeah what really messed me up is them calling it biometric and then saying only Iris which like there was a bunch
01:11:30
of fingerprints before later in the event they they talked about an iris scanning feature I do remember that all right we have one more in our audio round thank you for reading this one
01:11:42
needs a disclaimer origin because I am pretty sure this is a real announcement video I haven't found any credible evidence that suggests it's not a real
01:11:54
announcement video I just have only seen this reposted two places in the entire internet s it looks professionally animated it sounds professionally voiced over it it feels real but just the fact
01:12:07
that I can't find very many references to it makes me a little skeptical so I just wanted to put that out there I
01:12:14
think it's real if it's not real and you know it's not real please reach out to us at the show we'll make a correction everything about you and saying that
01:12:20
makes me think it's fake yeah ah you'll see what I mean it like it like it feels so real that it
01:12:27
kind of almost feels fake that's the Vision Pro uh tagline as well the smartphone it's come a long way that's
01:12:35
what started out as a nice thing to have is now the most important device in our liveses but the industry is hit a wall
01:12:42
each new phone is just a slightly better version than the one before it adding to it is become a of samess and a focus
01:12:50
over the phone experience itself true don't get us wrong we love apps but current smartphones make you use them one at a time in and out and on to the
01:13:03
next app then the next and the next rarely working together so what do we do now we start
01:13:15
over with a different kind of phone that doesn't make you go in and out of apps t-mob you GL sounds like a Chili's
01:13:22
commercial exactly you I mean a non Advertiser wouldn't have made something this cheesy hubs that pull the stuff you want and bring it all to one
01:13:33
place this isn't the next chapter in the story of the smartphone this is a new beginning the new series series that really sounds like a
01:13:48
Humane pitch wait Series yeah so was single once again the last is there any way you could play that halfway through since I interrupted and uh sure and yes this is not a single
01:14:04
device this is the announcement of an entire platform what with a different kind of phone that
01:14:10
doesn't make you go in and out of apps but let you glance and go actually I'm going to pause it again and say uh I'll explain why the word series will probably not be helpful to you so and if
01:14:23
you ignore it you are more likely to get the answer correct in my opinion with a different kind of phone
01:14:29
that doesn't make you go in of apps but let you glance and go a new experience that keeps your life in motion and lets you flow seamlessly through integrated hubs hubs that pull the stuff you want
01:14:42
and bring it all to one place this isn't the next chapter in the story of the smartphone this is a new beginning
01:14:54
the new series so I will also add part of the reason I think these are real is because the dates on the YouTube uploads the two
01:15:06
YouTube uploads of this I found are accurate to when this product came out so someone if someone were to have made like a parody so the product is 100% real like you know the product is real
01:15:18
no this came out this had a full you know life cycle and stuff it sounds like a T-Mobile commercial it does sound like
01:15:23
a teamot but didn't everything sound like both write something down God I don't even know can I ask if this was a
01:15:28
hardware or a software product uh this video that's a really tough question mark may not be real it it is real this
01:15:37
video is for the software component of it I prefer the term platform but technically this is not confined to a single piece of Hardware all right I'm not going to change M say I mean I've
01:15:50
got a wrong way I'll accept a pretty broad array of answers I know this one's a little weird can I give reasoning as
01:15:55
to why I picked mine I would love that sure all right let's open around oh that's I wrote
01:16:03
Blackberry oh but what led you there uh the like pulling things into hubs yeah oh yeah Blackberry Hub yeah what about you David I wrote lgv10 because uh those
01:16:15
phones had that second screen uh I was first thinking like a surface duo or something I was as well but they they they never called it a phone they specifically not a phone yeah Andrew or
01:16:26
a Windows phone which is the correct answer way to go I guess I was confused because we were talked about Windows
01:16:33
phone before so I thought you wrote Windows phone that one was wor two since wait hey h we never I thought you did
01:16:40
say it was worth the last one last one yeah you didn't say it wasn't worth to never say I also I'm going to be
01:16:49
honest I feel a little bad cuz I wrote that down very late after there dude it's fine whatever I mean only feel bad
01:16:56
if you win well yeah wait till the score comes up so just just to clarify real quick um
01:17:03
the reason that the word series was at the end of Windows phone is because Windows phone was built on the work that was Windows mobile before that the last
01:17:14
version of Windows mobile was version 6.5 so the original version of Windows phone was branded as Windows Phone 7
01:17:21
Series yeah that's correct that we are running out of time here but we want to get a few more questions in so we're
01:17:27
going to do a little speed trivia uh for our audio listeners our contestants are now pulling out their game buzzers you
01:17:33
might remember these from the Family Feud special for those of you who have never seen the buzzer action play before
01:17:40
David would you hit your buzzer David you will hear that when David gets it first Andrew will you hit your buzzer
01:17:46
Andrew you will hear that when Andrew hits it first and Marquez D wait minus one point Marque all right we're good I was worried that the
01:17:56
buzzers were broken uh and I'm gonna pass it over to speed round Maestro the Leonard birdin
01:18:05
of speed rounds I'm going to pretend I know who that is all right God it's not just me
01:18:11
first question of you Leonard birstein legendary composer of the New York Metropolitan Opera wow I'm not a rich not on the same level
01:18:21
I'm not a rich sh a movie about him is in theaters right now was tar no no David tar is about tar former US President Barack Obama was famously a
01:18:34
user of what phone Marquez he had a Blackberry D okay but he now uses an iPhone and I know exactly what apps are on his home screen but no one cares it was what famously all right was he a fan
01:18:48
of he was the Blackberry president he was the Blackberry made switch black you can't
01:18:53
or they made like a super secure something I thought the Blackberry was the secure phone black messaging what
01:19:00
all the secret Cod I don't think you can have a smartphone that tracks your GPS location all the time I think they had like a dumb phone like a a super secure
01:19:08
dumb phone phone so next question what is the most recently discovered planet in our solar system DAV Planet X that's Twitter
01:19:21
marz tun correct really yep oh in 1846 was Pluto discovered after but then taken away as a planet also correct it was discovered in 1930 and then demoted
01:19:35
demoned that was pretty easy just pick the furthest one away like how far do we go next question I can't see that far I
01:19:42
feel like that was a targeted question is a Taylor's version speaking of targeted question oh God Taylor Swift
01:19:48
notoriously was an anti- Spotify person and did not have her music on on the platform but eventually she did when did
01:19:55
this happen David 20202 nope what are you looking for a date or an album a date I was saying I said 2022 yeah and you were wrong Marquez
01:20:07
2023 wrong that was my first guess Andrew 2018 wrong but close 2021 oh we're still
01:20:16
going 201 2017 there's no penalty for being wrong and you get infinite guesses yep you just wa okay good to know can you go back to back back to back what
01:20:28
like if I go wrong and then I press it again right after the first three like once each person gets a chance your
01:20:36
buzzer is deactivated until I reactivate it and so you have no idea when it's going to be active again and don't spam
01:20:43
the buzzer okay Tay's version question again number two number two oh my god oh sorry I didn't mean to do that the extremely popular music video/ short film All Too
01:20:56
Well is sitting at a cool 95 million views on YouTube right now fun fact a lot of it was shot on Kodak 35mm ector
01:21:03
Chrome so the question what year did ector Chrome come out to the public 1970 nope Andrew 1971 nope Marquez
01:21:18
69 no 67 wrong Marquez ome how about 1980 e00 I'm just going to skip 1946 Okay eor Chrome you didn't want us to count all the way up get to the current date and then count backwards
01:21:38
exactly really that was when it was first released to the public it was for government use before that or private use something like that yeah I thought
01:21:45
that okay next question I I yes I still shoot it sometimes what why would any of
01:21:51
us have know I thought David would have might have known how long is one Uranus year
01:21:59
measured in Earth years David one year let me think about this one Uranus year measuring years can
01:22:07
we do like with it [Music] or Andrew 67 this one I'll just take whoever's closest is it can I go again we're going with even multiple well then how do you know will get one more round um
01:22:20
yeah wa wait how does that work I get to think now because you both guessed wrong you
01:22:26
guys both and then you do close again I didn't even Buzz my who did you buzz me oh oh man I
01:22:37
thought it's about a year that's what I said but if we go again and I'll take whoever's closest yeah okay from this round if the first one is the closest this round round one guess each everyone
01:22:50
gets one guess each right now 67 okay years yes Marcus is turned Andrew 50 okay 49 God damn
01:23:09
it the correct answer is 84 years so David is correct what' you say 67 so my first guest was actually the closest it was
01:23:21
what was your first guess I said 68 the first time I thought you picked 67 just to I didn't I didn't I know how long the
01:23:33
days are on most planets but not how long the years are the years well if you multiply because they're further away
01:23:39
from the side totally different totally different it's how fast it rotates versus how fast it orbits really yeah
01:23:45
but it's probably it probably rotates slower if it orbits slower what tech device was internally code named Shamu
01:23:54
pixel 2 no that's not true that's not true that's wrong that's wrong that's wrong oh no that's my color
01:24:01
right I had that no that's mine that that's me what okay it was my color I had okay okay okay okay okay here's what we're going to do that was my fault I cancelled Andrew's buzzer but that was
01:24:13
in fact Andrew's Mountain Dew okay for a video viewers I have Andrew as classic Mountain Dew I have David as Baja Blast and uh I have Marquez as code red I saw
01:24:26
the green and I thought it was mine no it's all good I'm going to give it to both David and I was suggest that that
01:24:32
was a ER were you also going to say Nexus six no I was going to figure it out eventually I knew it was a Nexus thing I knew it was well get thex okay okay all
01:24:48
right no I knew it was it before the 6p I probably would have said six or five if I had taken that long I also would have yes well you had the chance to take a whale and it
01:25:01
was a huge ass phone huge that was correct yeah all right next question T doxin is a neurotoxin that can kill you if you eat it inside what kind of fish
01:25:13
Andrew Blowfish no that's I mean sorry wrong one David sh I was going to say catfish but okay next question where that one I
01:25:31
liked that one are there Tech questions are there any Tech ones Tech or science take your pick Tech science do we have Tech questions Tech yeah we have I'm okay
01:25:43
with tech where's the G fuel question don't okay don't temp fate what was the code name don't Darlene for in what in general yep Darlene
01:25:57
Darlene we talked about it in this podcast we did yep oh are you pressing a button yeah you have to reset yeah you got to reset okay thank you David the iPhone 10
01:26:13
nope Marquez Windows phone no but good thing wait in this episode we talked about it this episode oh darling darling that's darling
01:26:25
[Music] darling I don't even the iBook the iMac G3 nope the pong system the home pong they
01:26:41
had Cod names that all right I think we time for one more question are you guys ready what if we did two more all right we can do two
01:26:57
more if only my whole life was that easy your alarm goes off what if I had God all right earlier before I was rudely inter interrupted trying to explain how a vcr and audio cassette
01:27:17
worked I mentioned feric oxide particles feric oxide particles are an example of
01:27:27
what a particle a molecule it's a little broad I think what element are feric oxide particles primarily composed of I could have done
01:27:41
that one well do it can I do that yeah it is iron I was yeah nice all right now we have one more in 2016 Dwayne The Rock Johnson G do this
01:27:56
one too released an alarm clock app called The Rock clock you could use it as your
01:28:03
regular alarm clock or you could also set it to wake you up at the same time that he woke up
01:28:08
but amazing you don't know what the question is that's what you're gonna say right
01:28:14
Mar guys I'll accept an answer 400 a.m. not the question but good you clearly know what we're talking about every day is when he wakes up yeah correct he does wake up at four but the question is and now this is only for
01:28:26
David and Andrew you let him do no no all right all right all right all right his app would was missing one
01:28:34
common feature what was it Marquez snooze y the snooze button that's really funny that also there were two Rock questions and none of them were about the Rock Products that we actually had
01:28:45
in the office which were his headphones yeah we had the rock headphones don't it was missing what feature 4 a.m.
01:28:53
I wish my life was the most useless alarm app of all time you wake up at 4:00 a.m. and it doesn't snooze at all
01:29:00
yeah that's that's not useless that's powerful it's powerful until you hit the x button and go back to but you can't
01:29:05
snooze it it only does 4 a.m. it's only his time zone also I don't think which I guess is like
01:29:13
middle of the day in some New York I should have said two questions I said it said one I guess it bit me in the butt
01:29:19
okay we're tallying up the final score W that was a rough couple minutes for me there I I think I got one point in the last I think David won because of the extra question no I got the last
01:29:33
question wrong well but the the way I see it is when you ask for two questions they added the question cuz they were going to do the rock question because we talked about think that's my guess I
01:29:45
think I was two I think the second to last one I got Blowfish in there and that was a quick one yeah but I think by
01:29:52
two it might be you guys are assuming these are all onepoint questions yeah it's going to be really annoying when
01:29:58
Marquez winds up winning this stop stop hitting your buttons I'm not oh sorry I didn't hit mine it's righted for no reason mine's over there I didn't do it I got be touching
01:30:11
it it's over it wasn't me guys it's happening we have sorry a Victor I'm just stretching sick nobody named Victor works
01:30:23
that's what you think oh but there's actually someone named Victor at this table right now oh do we have a party head oh he's been playing this game for a long
01:30:36
time and I think it's been a long time coming for this no way yahe no way it happens if you're if you're hyping me up the wi me I'm going to cry of waveform trivia Extravaganza 2024 is
01:30:52
David Andrew Andrew manganelli wow Andrew Beat David by a single point one point he carried the one he carried the one car he carried
01:31:07
the one the next is six he did carry the one that was actually impressive well played the one I just want to say the last time this hat was used was a studio Channel I won as well and then Marquez
01:31:19
crumpled it and then Marquez crumbled it up did you like to do the honors I would love to thanks for watching the studio
01:31:26
