00:00:00
guess what I also did on the plane I spilled water on it okay there's a water
00:00:05
bottle in the little thing next to my seat and when I popped it open it was a metal water bottle for some reason and
00:00:12
it like fell onto the phone and it cracked the bottle open and it just started pouring all over the phone and I
00:00:18
picked it up and I was like well that's the end of this phone shook it out like unplugged it from oh my God it's fine
00:00:24
it's totally fine um
00:00:29
all right what is up people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast back to your
00:00:34
regularly scheduled format we're your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and uh David as you can tell is currently not
00:00:41
here he's out he's I think he's taking some pictures in the Pacific Northwest somewhere so we'll see him when he gets
00:00:46
back yeah follow him on Instagram because he's posting a lot of them and they're yeah pretty sick so far with some previews of those yeah but in
00:00:51
today's episode we have a little bit of Twitter versus threads round two I've got some thoughts is it round two we've
00:00:58
definitely talked about them like specifically once yeah it feels like it's sort of a second wave of Twitter versus yeah I think so yeah but we also
00:01:05
have a little bit of a hype or not game to play at the end so it's not a full game show episode but we still hooking
00:01:12
we've done it before and I think people liked it it's a lot of fun to just like speculate about things that are maybe
00:01:17
too hyped or not hyped enough yeah I like playing hype versus not hype games yeah uh but first we did both we
00:01:23
traveled we did you did something pretty cool I had a had a trip right so you
00:01:28
went to to It's called The open right open the open and the couple days before
00:01:33
the open was something called the open Invitational okay first time they've ever done it so some of you guys may or
00:01:39
may not know this but I'm a golfer I've been a golfer for and I actually someone asked me this and I heard this part yeah
00:01:44
I've been a golfer for 20 years isn't it wild that we're at a point in our life
00:01:49
that you can say you've done something I've been snowboarding for like 23 years at this point and I thought about that
00:01:55
like whoa that's weird to say it's weird yeah I've been golfing for 20 years uh
00:02:01
I'm not as good as you would think as someone old when you say is that a sound bite when
00:02:07
you say out loud that you've been doing something for 20 years you think you're really good at it I'm I'm not I've been playing on and off and obviously we have
00:02:13
all the stuff that we do but uh my first love my first sport so it was super cool to be able to play on the golf course
00:02:21
that is in Championship condition because the open the major is being played there uh basically as we speak
00:02:27
and uh it was actually sort of a practice round Day so a lot of the pros
00:02:33
showed up I walked through security right in front of Phil Mickelson put it on the putting green with him and it was
00:02:39
like a new event to sort of hype it up a little bit so it was a sort of a teams format and a bunch of invited sort of
00:02:46
celebrity guest people uh and we played a scramble and we played the whole course and it was amazing that's really
00:02:52
awesome you guys won too right and we won the scramble that's awesome yeah I'll tell you what there's nothing like first tea Jitters when there's there's
00:02:59
first tea Jitters in like any sport where you like first arrive and like hit your first shot or hit the court for the
00:03:06
first time take a first shot but when you're not used to playing in front of a crowd the amplifier of like people
00:03:13
watching you you don't get to appreciate on TV how many people there are and how close they are to you you can hear people mutter things under their breath
00:03:19
it's that close to you and um they've been watching making this shot they've
00:03:26
been also but they've been watching professionals the whole day yeah amazing shots and then we walk up and we're like sorry guys this is gonna be a little
00:03:33
worse than that but no it was sick it came on the tail end of a ADL doubleheader in Colorado and Salt Lake
00:03:40
that we uh also won both games that's awesome and you can watch um you can watch that it was live streamed right I
00:03:46
skimmed through and tried to watch all of your shots and I don't know golf but they looked pretty solid the announcers
00:03:51
liked it yeah yeah I played okay obviously we won we had a great team shout out to Catherine she was the best
00:03:57
player of the entire she had a nasty shot yeah yeah she had a six shot uh she hold out for Eagle on the last hole in
00:04:04
front of the whole crowd it was Unreal so yeah go watch that it'll be on YouTube we'll put that link in the show notes if you want to check it out you
00:04:10
also went on your uh you rescheduled it um I went to Grand
00:04:16
Teton National Park in Yellowstone National Park and it was like beautiful tons of animals I posted some photos
00:04:22
some really crazy Wildlife photos I never thought I'd be able to get in my life where design photos rented an
00:04:28
awesome ones yeah of a grizzly bear I have a couple grizzly bear shots which is pretty cool yeah um I'm actually making a video for the
00:04:34
studio Channel right now um kind of about some of the tech that I like to bring because I talk about hiking way
00:04:39
too much on the podcast so I figured let's get it all in one video so I can maybe shut up about it for like a few
00:04:45
months and then we'll get all the gear all the nerding out of it exactly yeah so that'll that'll be up there soon but
00:04:50
we also just posted another video on the studio channel that was like a total
00:04:55
Banger from Ellis his his first solo hosted video
00:05:01
um do you want to tell us a little bit about it no okay but go watch it definitely go watch it it's really good it's really
00:05:08
funny and really insightful I I like learning experience yeah but the week I
00:05:13
was supposed to be on vacation I missed a little bet that you guys had and Adam just posted it on shorts and I wanted to
00:05:19
kind of get in on this because I missed get in on the Cyber truck on the Cyber truck bed yeah okay so I think the BET
00:05:24
was 25 non-employees received delivery by the end of 2023 yeah well it actually
00:05:30
happened I say yes everyone else said no I'm going to agree with you on this one
00:05:36
actually which thank you come on hit the Buzzard I know you're looking for it
00:05:41
yeah man I'm telling you so yes I agree with you I still think it'll be like under a hundred
00:05:48
I think it's going to be a very small amount I don't think it's going to be a lot uh so we're all excited about it and
00:05:53
everyone on Twitter is like oh my God it's coming brother just got announced in 2019 like oh no I don't know I know
00:06:00
you're not I just need to say it like we're excited but like man this thing
00:06:05
was out there and I was just thinking like how many other EV pickup trucks have come out since that since they got
00:06:12
announced and just like the lead they thought they were gonna have in the pickup space world and how much they
00:06:17
blew that lead away it's been really interesting I don't know how much I thought it would matter that they were first to be an EV pickup truck like yes
00:06:25
rivian came out like before them and that was their thing was they were the
00:06:30
first Evie pickup truck basically ship and I don't know how much it helps to be the first one if it's a hundred thousand
00:06:36
dollars and then the F-150 Lightning comes out and I am seeing a lot of them on the road and it's an F-150 so it
00:06:41
should be popular but the Cyber truck also has I don't know how many I'll Google it how many million pre-orders
00:06:48
are there for the Cyber truck uh I mean a hundred dollar refundable also
00:06:53
pre-order is like a weird which for Tesla is a great little four-year interest-free loan they got
00:07:00
um but yeah yeah I do think it I kind of think it is pretty important especially if you're not a company known for doing
00:07:06
pickup trucks so I think the fact that rivian got in there first probably helped rivian quite a bit to be able to
00:07:11
say first EV pickup is and then when Ford comes out like you know people who
00:07:17
are Ford loyal are going to go for it yeah yeah they had a ton of people in line we were talking to Ford about this
00:07:22
they had like tons of people pre-ordering F-150 Lightning and for many of them it was their first truck and for many of them it was their first
00:07:29
Ford and so you know just like getting an EV just changes the equation for a lot of
00:07:35
people so yeah I think cyber truck it's still going to come out in this uh sort of newish age of EVs and yeah I think
00:07:41
it's going to have an impact uh it kind of reminds me of a hot take that I'm going to talk about in a hot day video
00:07:46
yeah which I kind of want to spoil a little bit because I think it's one of the funniest ones just do it let's send it okay one of the hot takes that um I'm
00:07:54
gonna address in the video with a little more Precision than this is someone said this cyber truck is going to outsell the
00:07:59
F-150 by 2026. can I confirm the F-150 or the F-150 Lightning the F-150 I did
00:08:07
the same thing that person is optimistic I would say that person is I don't even
00:08:13
know a nice way to say it that's one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard so you can convert yourself 20 26 so three
00:08:20
years so okay but think of it this way if you're a Tesla fan and you see this
00:08:26
is the I'm going to the most optimistic route right okay there's a million and a half pre-orders of the Cyber truck right
00:08:32
now right let's say they start shipping at the end of this year and they make them all in the first two
00:08:39
years and by the time they start making them the third year they have another million people order so by 2026 they they
00:08:47
shipped all the pre-orders and they're gonna make another million new orders that would put it on Pace to match the
00:08:54
F-150 now the chances that they actually ramp up production that fast and sell all the
00:09:00
ones and nobody cancels and they sell all the ones they made and make another million orders very very low but the
00:09:06
F-150 sells like 600 to 900 000 every single year and it's the most successful
00:09:12
vehicle in America so if you're saying it's going to overtake the most successful vehicle for the past 40 years running in three years you're an
00:09:19
optimist and it's probably a hot take and I like that it's hot but it's probably not going to happen
00:09:24
yeah there's I just don't think there's any shot that that happens I mean it's it's
00:09:30
four years of pre-orders right that and even that is barely what Ford actually sells honestly I think the most of the
00:09:38
pre-orders happen in the first year I do think so also but that's why I don't see that pre-orders getting finished and x
00:09:44
amount more coming in like you hit a very huge part of the ones that you
00:09:49
think you're gonna sell those aren't all gonna sell and then you're not going to get a higher influx once it actually comes out especially with now
00:09:56
r1t Ford F-150 Lightning I'll say that the Hummer pickup truck but like I don't
00:10:02
think that's much and the Silverado is already getting test driven by journalists now so like there's quite a
00:10:07
few I think that comes out probably around the same time and there's a lot there's other options at this point
00:10:13
don't forget the Lord's Town yeah
00:10:18
if you're not watching the video version I'm sorry for that I don't actually mean that there's a but uh we were talking
00:10:26
this morning because I wanted to say it's interesting how many pickup EVS got announced and delivered since the Cyber
00:10:33
truck got announced and I thought the rivian was announced after but it was actually a year before before the Cyber
00:10:39
truck which I didn't realize and I think that just kind of goes to prove that when you're an EV company no one knows
00:10:44
about and you announce the truck no one takes it seriously because to me until the rivian started like
00:10:50
showing up I didn't really take them seriously so this Lordstown stuff like no part of me considers this a thing
00:10:57
that I'm going to ever see until I start actually seeing that's totally fair I think the difference is with rivian it
00:11:03
was their first ever vehicle and so it's hard to take anything they do seriously until they start shipping their first
00:11:08
ever oh yeah and that's true about Friday future and that's true about Lordstown and that's true about so many others but why I think it's different
00:11:14
with Tesla is it's not their first rodeo agree which is why when I see them starting to test mules and roll around
00:11:20
camo versions of it it seems like they're actually ramping up to something real or the others I could never prove
00:11:26
that yeah I agree I think you clarified what I meant there is more like these new EV companies as their just first EV
00:11:32
in general like Tesla's been around for longer but it's also been four years so maybe I shouldn't have given them as
00:11:39
much trust as I thought I did but it's impossibly hard to make an EV tracking world but it's a simple stamp that so
00:11:45
many fleets they can just stamp out a bunch of them that's why the designs like that
00:11:51
this thing is is a six thousand pound Guillotine with electric motors I will say I mean like this is true and I think
00:11:58
it's weird because I keep hearing this about the Cyber truck but like the Hummer EG and the rivian are both over
00:12:05
seven thousand I think the the Hummer eating might be nine fifty nine thousand the battery is six thousand yeah and
00:12:11
it's bigger than a cyber truck and it's admittedly it's not sharp on the corners like that's definitely a difference and
00:12:17
I don't know how that plays into these tests or whether it'll get pulled yeah it also has crumple zones the the Cyber
00:12:23
truck they're really big on the fact that like this thing won't crumple it'll just go through despite having a front
00:12:29
truck whatever you hit which is good for the occupant but not whatever you hit it's good for the occupant in theory
00:12:36
right assuming you just do go clean through but remember that the whole point of a crumple zone is to slow you
00:12:42
down it's to send energy around the vehicle past the passenger compartment so there is a very realistic chance that
00:12:49
your truck will be perfectly fine and you will be like a Chef Boyardee can and
00:12:55
you're like the windows are bulletproof so you won't go through them yeah don't worry you'll just Splat up against them
00:13:00
I feel like I should say before the Tesla boys come out too late the the the model 3 and the
00:13:07
model S are some of the safest cars money can buy biggest crumple zones in any Vehicles
00:13:12
yeah the nhtsa says like those are at the top of the charts so maybe they've got some tricks up their sleeve but to
00:13:18
me this just seems like they should make this illegal to drive around schools right there's like there's no way any
00:13:25
grade schooler could survive getting hit by a Tesla truck which is so high off the ground they couldn't see them anyway
00:13:31
I don't know how different it'll be than the Hummer EV the thing even just outside of EVS the trucks and like SUVs
00:13:39
were driving in America are so dangerous towards pedestrians everywhere and we let them drive all the time like I just
00:13:44
don't see anyone actually stopping the Cyber truck as being any more dangerous as these the amount of times I've almost
00:13:50
been like clipped on the side of a sidewalk in town because some lifted pickup truck I was just in Uber yeah in
00:13:57
in the city and we were in like a Denali or a Yukon XL or something and it's just like riding in it I'm just like we are
00:14:03
we are Kings of the road right yeah this is insane they're so high and they have such a big front and like front grille
00:14:09
and everything it's hard to see over and if you're in the blind spot of them it's it's dangerous yeah yeah it's terrifying
00:14:15
let's put a blade on it yeah let's make it go 0 to 60 in three seconds
00:14:21
this is why the Hummer was hilarious when it came out it was like the Hummer nine thousand pound massive refrigerator
00:14:28
of a vehicle can also do a 0-60 in three seconds how does that make Annie's I
00:14:33
think the only reason I'm more scared of the Cyber truck is just I know there'll be more of them on the road um whereas the hummery V just like I
00:14:40
think it's a pretty Niche vehicle and so I'm not as but like if I saw Hummer EV on the highway I probably would just
00:14:46
pull over take a break and just like wait for that thing to be like far away from where I am
00:14:52
that's fair yeah we'll see we'll see if the deliveries happen and and then if they reverse the deliveries we'll have
00:14:59
to come back to that bet but I stand it's not I don't think it's coming out this year
00:15:06
all right well I think that's a good spot to take a quick break we got a lot to talk about with threads and Twitter but of course before we do breaks it's
00:15:12
time for trivia start of the Season all fresh what
00:15:18
number season is it three is it this is season three officially okay you won
00:15:23
season two um you also won season one so six okay
00:15:29
first question coming from Ellis
00:15:34
all right so I was reading on the internet as one does and I found out that you can
00:15:41
wake up a computer from sleep using just the internet you don't even have to be at the same room
00:15:48
in order to do that you send a very particular message to the Target
00:15:54
computer to wake it up it's a very silly name that's why it's a trivia question
00:15:59
what is the name of that message this is multiple choice sir yeah I might
00:16:05
need multiple trays for this one you know what I'll make up some choices I was gonna say I mostly want it because I want to hear your made-up versions yeah
00:16:12
here you know what I'll just off the dome right now right okay yeah okay number one a
00:16:19
stomp s-t-o-m-p these are all acronyms number two
00:16:25
Womp Womp number three
00:16:30
clump at number four alarm wild card
00:16:40
all right I'm impressed by the off the Dome I have a feeling that some of them rhyme yeah
00:16:46
and that helps a little bit I'll be brainstorming on that through the break answers are at the end
00:16:52
as usual we'll be right back
00:16:58

00:17:41
sirenmarine.com waveform all right we're back uh so we've been using Twitter for years
00:17:50
yes and we've been using meta's threads for about two weeks now
00:17:56
two weeks do you call it meta all the time I still call Facebook uh I do have to remember to call it meta okay and
00:18:03
sometimes I don't I just say Facebook but it does say like when you have the splash screen meta so you know I get reminded of it uh yeah we have a lot of
00:18:10
thoughts I have a lot I've been using them both I'm interested you know various intents in and I think you kind
00:18:16
of see the waves now of things happening with each of them yeah I I don't wanna we're saying it's like
00:18:21
the second wave but it almost feels like the fourth wave like the first wave was the day it launched which was in the
00:18:28
midst of a trough with Twitter because they had like the rate limit Scandal and all these things happening and then threads launches and explodes right and
00:18:36
has tons of people joining tons of Engagement you could consider that the first wave okay even though there was
00:18:41
like the zero wave of like all the pre-release assessors I'll leave that out then the second wave was like all right it's sort of stabilized for like
00:18:49
four or five days in seventy million 100 million users all right we're here what
00:18:55
do we do now and then Twitter on the other side is like a little bit quieter than usual and you're kind of looking
00:19:01
around Twitter like interesting it feels like there's less posts happening but also is it a day off is it a holiday why
00:19:08
isn't anyone on the road today there's like a tumbleweed going across and then the third wave was then suddenly like
00:19:14
all of the here I am engagement farming posts happening on threads and then all
00:19:20
the all the like threads versus Twitter talk and then I feel like the fourth wave is now Twitter flips the switch
00:19:25
turns on a monetization feature it starts writing a bunch of checks and like literally the other day there was a
00:19:31
post from Adam asseri that they had to turn on rate limits because suddenly there's a bunch of spam happening and they needed to actually slow that down
00:19:37
and so now it's sort of equalizing and obviously the spike in engagement at the
00:19:42
beginning is what you'd expect to see but it's it's never going to hold up to that level but it is at a different
00:19:47
place so there's a lot to go over with uh where we see both of these platforms going yeah the last time we talked about
00:19:54
it was by the time the episode came out that launch date had happened but when we
00:19:59
were talking about it we were just basing it off of your like day before pre-release and talking there so like we
00:20:05
haven't really covered that whole step through process that you just mentioned all the waves so do you want to like
00:20:10
really quickly go over how you've been using threads and what you've thought about it so far sure yeah so I mean it
00:20:16
launched and there's always just that like fun first couple days of something new where you just play around with it
00:20:21
start poking around you know I think I I tagged just random people I tagged Mark
00:20:26
Cuban I said can I be a guest on Shark Tank and he was like yeah let me get back to him I like the idea I I tagged
00:20:32
the Zuck in a feature request and he was like yep it's on the list like just kind of poking around and seeing what's happening and things are all moving and
00:20:39
colorful and exciting um it's fun that that part is fun like everybody's just like what do we do here
00:20:46
yeah and like it's the difference I think of that is what we've talked about a million times before is that the user
00:20:52
base is so important on all these like we all dealt with this on blue sky and T2 and Mastodon but now within was it
00:21:00
not 24 hours threads already had more than probably all three of those combined probably within hours yeah yeah
00:21:05
so like you get to actually experience this like hey this is kind of neat yeah everyone's
00:21:11
nice what do we do it's like walking into a party and like so many people you know are there and you're like whoa
00:21:16
whoa you're here too oh wow you're all here that's crazy what are we what are we talking about what are we doing here and you're so excited you don't get into
00:21:22
the like toxic hellscape arguments of like the regular Twitter thread and that was just nice for like a week yeah I
00:21:30
think then once you've gotten over the hump of like right we're all here we're all trying to do stuff then it's like
00:21:35
what do we post here and and this is from someone who posts on social media
00:21:41
for a living I'm like do I post the same things that I'm posting in other places or do they not belong here I saw at the
00:21:47
beginning so many you know and so much emphasis from the founders about things like conversations
00:21:54
and and just text posts and it's it's called threads it's literally just like text threads people talking to each
00:22:00
other so I kind of assumed I'd mostly just be using it like Twitter in like text threads not a lot I didn't post any
00:22:08
YouTube links so I wasn't thinking about posting any you know photos or videos even though you still can technically
00:22:14
but then the question is like well I I just posted some short form video on Instagram do I also post it on threads
00:22:21
is that like double posting I posted on Twitter maybe I posted on threads and Twitter but not Instagram or reels or
00:22:27
Schwartz is I don't know it's kind of just a weird there's a thought process now to it so that that's in the back of
00:22:33
my head the whole time but then also I do find it fun to engage with shorts because it does
00:22:39
for me still feel like it has this second fastest engagement rate of any social network behind Instagram sorry
00:22:47
your threads are short you said threads threads okay yeah so like on Instagram if I post something within 10 minutes
00:22:53
there's over a hundred comments there's probably 10 000 likes and you can just
00:22:58
see just a chaos activity happening where that's very different on Twitter versus Shorts YouTube shorts has almost
00:23:05
the opposite like a low two-day burn before it hits the short speed and then takes off so it shorts is just or
00:23:12
threads is just interesting to just like poke around and and reply to something and just see how fast you can talk to
00:23:18
people on threads before the thread's over yeah and from that first week like despite having wildly like less people
00:23:26
on the platform and less followers than like Twitter that I had like the engagement I was getting felt kind of
00:23:32
crazy I think just everyone was so excited to be on it they were on it a lot more they were replying all over the place there was engagement everywhere
00:23:38
everyone was like oh shoot I didn't realize you're on here yet like what's up did you follow the did you follow
00:23:44
everyone that you followed on Instagram or did you did you follow separate people it's funny because it's it's more
00:23:50
along the lines of the people who I follow on Twitter because Instagram to me has still been this slow move over of
00:23:57
more of my like personal life versus this like social media work life I guess
00:24:03
um and on threads I found it really interesting because a lot of people that I do know in my personal life on
00:24:09
Instagram that don't have Twitter were creating threads and then you get to see yeah just some of their stupid little
00:24:14
that's what I love about just like very short text-based posts is like you can just have one random thought and that
00:24:20
thought can be hilarious and just like makes my day that's the most pure like early version of Twitter it's incredible
00:24:27
I love it so much it's like when you can have a tweet from your phone yeah and you could it was just like 100 when you're sending a text message yeah it's
00:24:33
just 140 just a blurb of a thought yeah that's kind of how it starts and I think now you're seeing like the the people
00:24:40
who are here to get you know engagement here to figure out like how to turn this into a page there's the the LinkedIn
00:24:46
Bros showing up like trying to optimize and like doing all these crazy things like you expect that with any new shows
00:24:52
even though it's not monetizable directly yet it's still you expect that that was kind of the fun part of the beginning it was like when that happened
00:24:57
people were like no get that off no this platform's fun right now get that grind set crap off of here like yo block that
00:25:04
muta and yeah um but I think like like you said one of the biggest issues of it at the beginning or you didn't say it
00:25:10
but this is what you tweeted at I think Adam responded to you about just having an actual front page with the people you
00:25:17
follow not random people and they did say they're working on it which is great I'm a little worried it's going to be
00:25:23
which is similar to Twitter now where that's not going to be your main you're gonna have to swipe into it as a
00:25:28
secondary one that is always fascinating to me because every social media has to
00:25:33
have some balance of this where you follow people because you want to see what they
00:25:39
post but in order for them to be successful and keep you engaged they need to be giving you new things it's
00:25:45
almost like on Spotify like we have the music that we want to listen to but there's also like if you hit Shuffle it's gonna just toss in some music
00:25:51
you've never heard before it's going to toss in some explore weekly or whatever and that's what Tick Tock has got Tick
00:25:58
Tock is probably the far end of the scale you don't even really check who you follow most people don't check who they are it's just the for you page and
00:26:05
on the other side maybe it's closer to like twitch or YouTube back in the day I only watched who I subscribe to but now
00:26:11
it's mostly home page it's things they recommend YouTube's getting closer to that that Tick Tock side where like I'm
00:26:18
watching people that I realize I'm not subscribed to because I'm just so consistently getting fed their stuff
00:26:23
that I enjoy and so Instagram now too wants to be it used to just be like people you follow in the post that they
00:26:28
make with the photos now it's just like tossing stuff in my feed obviously the Explorer page and reels is giving you
00:26:34
new stuff so now they're pushing towards that so now threads shows up and of
00:26:39
course we're following a bunch of people we're engaging with a bunch of stuff but yeah the home page is full of people you
00:26:44
don't follow and so as a purist I want just a list of people I follow and the
00:26:49
things that they post because that's why I'm here I just joined threads to follow 12 people uh but they don't even have a
00:26:55
following count for people they just show you the home page and you can follow people on the home page but it's constantly pushing you new stuff
00:27:01
and that's just the way social is in 2023 and I guess it's cool that it's on our list but I kind of doubt it's very
00:27:07
high on their list yeah or it's not going to be like a default you're because Instagram you can do only
00:27:13
following chronological but it's not even like in Twitter where you just swipe over it's like a drop down menu
00:27:19
yeah which that you have to do every time you open the app I think which is my suspicion is it will never be the
00:27:24
default I totally agree with that yeah um I did sorry quick question when do
00:27:30
you think they're going to add ads hmm ads because I think a big part of why people like it right now is because
00:27:36
there's no ads it's very pure with no ads I think meta has the bank role to be
00:27:42
able to roll this for a little bit without ads and I think that's probably the smartest decision to eventually
00:27:48
dump ads and make a ton of money on it um but they I think we all can probably
00:27:53
agree they pushed this pretty quickly in a very opportune moment with what was going on with Twitter so why not
00:28:00
completely capitalize on Twitter maybe uh you don't think they did that already I feel like they already like I think
00:28:07
it's too early I think they did a lot of the things and they're still definitely and don't mess this up mode I think yeah
00:28:13
the pressure needs to just stay on yeah um like I think Twitter can have a bad week and it's fine but if you have a
00:28:20
really good couple of months in a row on threads and it's the activity's still going and like you didn't ruin it with
00:28:26
abs yet then you start to really think about like all right we're actually taking real meaningful market share
00:28:33
we're actually changing the landscape of social media then maybe you start thinking about okay we'll do a little
00:28:39
bit of ads here and there yeah and there's a there's a benefit to being having multiple different social media
00:28:44
sites and products that are making money and then one being able to lose some versus spending 44 billion dollars
00:28:51
immediately halfing the worth of that and then having to try and make up for all the loans that you take yeah but
00:28:56
meta is also like burning money in VR and AR so like they need something to
00:29:01
give them more money right they've got some others they still have Facebook and Instagram plenty of money okay so the next
00:29:07
question how long until Google makes one Google everyone with a Gmail already
00:29:12
gets an account you just bring it over I was this is why I was saying do you remember how many things Google Plus did
00:29:18
to re like Google Plus was ahead of its time for real Google Plus which I used
00:29:24
for every year it was out as I've mentioned many times before but like do
00:29:29
you remember when there was a plus one plus one button on everything on Google search there are still like I'll still
00:29:36
see some trucks with advertisements on them that will still show their social media links and they'll be like a Google
00:29:42
Plus like food trucks I love it I don't know why yeah uh on YouTube they forced
00:29:49
everyone to turn their profile into a Google Plus account so you could only like you could plus one comments plus
00:29:56
one videos share it to your circles they forced all of that like the same way
00:30:01
that we got this like nice plug with Instagram for Threads to take off they did that with Google search and YouTube
00:30:07
so the fact that that doesn't exist anymore is a pretty good indicator that you can't really brute force your way
00:30:13
into it it's got to be good but like Google Google tried Google did try so
00:30:19
yeah but they tried like 14 years ago they're good old Google the guy like
00:30:24
whoa this didn't work immediately cut it I totally remember when they did that
00:30:30
and like being however old I was like a child and like watching the Philip DeFranco video where he's like going
00:30:36
over like yeah they're making everyone sign up for Google Plus and I remember just childhood me being like this is an
00:30:42
outrage as if it like affected me at all that's amazing it was it was a it was a
00:30:48
it seemed like a turning point on the internet because Google had that kind of power where like if you got a lot of
00:30:53
plus ones on your site that would specifically improve your search ranking and so you had an incentive to be strong
00:31:00
on Google Plus that was the gamification of that would be out of this world more than SEO right
00:31:07
now like they should just go back to that and that'll be again the way that you write that platform will be destroyed by Bots and like people just
00:31:16
turning it into a total mess by gamifying everything I mean Google never said specifically what how much of a
00:31:23
percentage the Google Plus thing had to your ranking but it became very clear that like you wanted to be strong on Google Plus you want to be the most plus
00:31:30
one thing on your search page to get you to the top you were the second most plus one thing weren't you maybe I don't know
00:31:37
I was one of the I was one of the accounts that they suggested you follow when you joined that's awesome so that was pretty solid that's a badge of honor
00:31:43
yeah that was pretty cool um so yeah I don't know I I do think the the Instagram poll is very strong but I
00:31:50
don't think the growth phase is over yet I still think they have to they're still in don't mess this up mode and as people
00:31:56
poke around and find what to do they can add the features that people seem to want the most yeah they're definitely in like a I you know they they had their
00:32:04
high of like everybody joining right away and now it's gonna dip a little bit and exactly what you said don't screw
00:32:10
this up so that dip doesn't go too far down and that dip it steadies off and then they start slowly Rising again yeah
00:32:16
um I did find one thing this is funny I think I found one thing that I think threads can do that Twitter and
00:32:23
Instagram can't do except when I tried to do it it didn't work so let me explain
00:32:28
I was at the airport and I think the reason this didn't work is just because of poor airport Wi-Fi that's why it
00:32:34
didn't post but if you think about it threads is the only place that you can post more than four images that don't
00:32:42
all get automatically cropped to square because once you add more than two photos on Instagram in a gallery it auto
00:32:48
crops it into a square and you can only do four photos on Twitter so I took all these different pictures and different
00:32:54
aspect ratios and portrait and landscape I was cropping them and I wanted to post all the photos I took on my trip and I
00:33:00
could do that on threads except that it just kept failing to post in the airport Wi-Fi and it didn't actually go through
00:33:06
so I just wound up cropping them on Instagram some things like that feel like features when I think really they're
00:33:13
just not yet pruned like they're gonna definitely limit that you think they're gonna limit that I think so yeah I think
00:33:19
kind of the same it's meta like they're gonna probably find a way to you know compress more efficiently and they're
00:33:24
gonna find ways to like reduce the amount of bandwidth you need to use to post and you know maybe if everyone's you saw what David was posting he was
00:33:31
had these huge panoramas on the landscape yeah they would take up your entire phone I wish it was here like so we could talk about this because I feel
00:33:37
like that is something he would enjoy like David is definitely not taking 10 square pictures at once and wants to
00:33:42
post more than four at a time so I'm sure that would if it works work well yeah he's giving you that IMAX
00:33:48
experience on threads you know it's longer than your phone you can only view it on a Sony Xperia yeah exactly exactly
00:33:56
um before we get into Twitter and what they were doing I Twitter had to have been if we stepped
00:34:03
back to wave one here there's just something a little peculiar about if you posted any threads links on Twitter that
00:34:10
I I think is pretty obvious and just very funny but it was clearly
00:34:15
suppressing right like I think I have a picture here of your timeline you posted
00:34:21
something that just says it's actually impressive how bad Siri it is 8.4 million impressions on Twitter next post
00:34:28
for some threads and the link to your threads link two hundred thousand Impressions and
00:34:35
then another video of a caviar iPhone 1.1 million impressions yeah something's
00:34:41
a little fishy there interesting yeah I don't I don't think it would be a shock to anyone if they uncovered just the
00:34:47
word threads or any Thrills yeah yeah they're they're definitely not showing that to people the way they show other
00:34:53
things to people not shocked by that I don't honestly this is like a part of social also where I think when you post
00:34:59
a lot to social media and you're trying to optimize all your content you're like what do these platforms incentivize and how can I ride those waves on Twitter or
00:35:06
on any website like on YouTube they do not like you sending people to external
00:35:12
websites period so on YouTube if you have a really popular Link at the top of your description and that link is
00:35:18
sending people somewhere like I remember we used to do uh giveaway videos and a
00:35:23
lot of people would use like a giveaway hosting service or whatever like and there will be a link at the top and
00:35:29
those videos would always bomb really because you're sending people people off the site and YouTube's going whoa whoa
00:35:34
we don't like this video this video is sending people off of YouTube and so you do this massive giveaway but it would
00:35:39
get like attempt in normal traffic do you know another good example of that is um doesn't shorts have a thing that sees
00:35:46
if the tick tock logo is in it because they don't want you to just take your exact Tick Tock video that also shows a
00:35:52
link to how you follow them on Tick Tock I'm not sure if they've admitted this yet but a lot of them definitely I think that was like a pretty obvious yeah I'm
00:35:59
not sure if it was shorts or reels if real sees a tick tock logo I think
00:36:05
that's the one everyone knows about but I'm also pretty sure like if YouTube sees a tick tock logo they don't want to
00:36:11
push that either yeah yeah that's a fact it's already funny it's also very funny that threads has an immediate share to
00:36:16
Twitter button which is just like I'm sharing essentially my tweet on a
00:36:22
different Pro to Twitter but yeah but let's talk about Twitter yeah Twitter Twitter went through some stuff Twitter
00:36:27
had that like sort of a quiet couple days you know what it felt like it felt like New York City after the hurricane after Hurricane for like two days and it
00:36:35
was like dang it's kind of quiet which is kind of cool it's yeah it's kind of like not leisurely see it like that
00:36:40
post-apocalyptic Twitter yeah there's some graph of a I think it was a cloudflare thing I was trying to show
00:36:45
that like Twitter traffic did actually tank for a little bit for sure I don't even know how accurate that would represent everyone's Twitter experience
00:36:52
but if you use Twitter every day you probably notice there was less stuff happening um it came back uh lots of random things
00:36:59
keep happening at Twitter and then one big thing that happened was they started doing payouts for uh verified users who
00:37:07
are in like a revenue sharing program yeah it's essentially if you now get a portion of the revenue that is created
00:37:14
through the ads that are only posted inside your reply so I'm sure we've all noticed that replies on Twitter have ads
00:37:20
now very annoying but I get it um yeah so those specific ads will now benefit the
00:37:26
Creator that it gets posted under yeah I tweeted uh to my subscribers on Twitter so if you are a subscriber on my Twitter
00:37:33
you saw this a week or two ago uh but I got a screenshot because I just like got a pop-up when I opened Twitter one day
00:37:39
it says congrats at MKBHD as your share of ads revenue and replies you're receiving six thousand six hundred
00:37:45
ninety eight dollars your portion will be deposited into your stripe connected account within the next 72 hours thanks
00:37:51
for being a Creator on Twitter and you just hit OK and that's it there's no
00:37:56
analytics there's no oh this is in the last 30 days this is there's no like here's the tweet that generated you the
00:38:02
most or like any information this is the only information I've gotten about this and I can go into my analytics and try
00:38:08
to find more I can go into my stripe account and try to find more almost nothing but interesting but everyone got
00:38:14
this screenshot of like oh I'm gonna get paid for my tweets I guess yeah so let's I had some questions it sounds like yeah
00:38:20
you can't really answer them so yeah my favorite thing to do on waveform let's speculate sure um there's a bunch of
00:38:27
people and some people are getting paid a lot of money I'm crazy I saw multiples over ten thousand dollars yeah um but
00:38:33
one interesting thing here is I my two main questions are one it says that this is retroactive back to February February
00:38:39
when it was announced interesting so if you think about that then this isn't just like 30 days worth like six this is
00:38:46
like six months worth of payment that makes a lot of which is a lot which under why a lot of these are very big do
00:38:52
you have a separate payment for subscriptions yes it is separate so that is not included in this this is
00:38:57
different and it's it's also through stripe but that this amount this new thing that popped up was separate from
00:39:02
subscriptions subscriptions has already been happening it has a payout in a totally different way it's the same way
00:39:08
but it's this is just it's not in the lump sum Okay cool so that does actually help that because I was wondering like
00:39:14
man some of these numbers I'm seeing are crazy yeah um do you want to go I saw Jimmy Mr Beast posted one I think he did
00:39:21
the same thing he posted for subscribers so sorry Jimmy but yeah it was the same thing it was like 25 000 I think I saw
00:39:27
his so I don't think it's a subscribe I think I saw you so it's just out there yeah yeah so that's like six months worth of so you're you're looking at
00:39:33
maybe a thousand a month basically yeah so you do the math six months six thousand yeah I mean not much to just
00:39:39
share your random Tech thoughts every once in a while to deal with the annoyance of ads showing up under tweets
00:39:45
all the time that seems like basically I think that moment on Twitter where it
00:39:50
was like oh if I am a part of this program I am incentivized to post more
00:39:56
and use Twitter more because I will be paid more accordingly and anytime that
00:40:01
moment happens on a social media platform that changes the landscape of it forever like every time that's ever
00:40:07
happened yeah now to different extents like when that happened with Tick Tock it was a Creator fund and people didn't
00:40:13
really make that much money so it didn't change it that much but when YouTube got the partner program and started Revenue
00:40:20
sharing that inflection point changed YouTube Forever yeah so Twitter finally
00:40:26
getting this moment and we don't have any details about like what our RPMs
00:40:31
what are is it a shrinking pile of money is it a a percentage like what is even happening we don't really know but the
00:40:38
fact that it happened at all was enough for people to sort of come back to Twitter and start talking about it and
00:40:43
figuring it out yeah and there's some cool parts of it you do have to be subscribed to Twitter blue but I
00:40:49
actually don't think that's that big of a deal if it's eight dollars a month then you're probably going to make if you're somebody making obviously over
00:40:55
eight dollars a month right it pays for itself that's kind of nice the one question I saw people have was it says
00:41:01
you need five million impressions over the last three months and two things here one do you have to keep that streak
00:41:08
do you always have to have three straight months of five million yeah in order to do that and then I also included this tweet on here which will
00:41:14
show on the screen and I'll read out loud but someone named John Krause I think we've talked to him for the podcast before he takes um photos of
00:41:22
like SpaceX and like rocket launches he has his impressions are hilarious when
00:41:27
you look at them versus having to have a three-month streak of five million because he goes
00:41:33
January 6.7 million February 5.3 million March 4 million then April 74 Million
00:41:40
May 9 million or June 4.9 million so wouldn't hit it there and then July 101
00:41:47
million so if that's what it was he's well averaging over 5 million but he
00:41:53
doesn't have the streak of three potentially doesn't have the streak I mean this is a very Niche amount of people that this would happen to but
00:41:58
that would be super unfortunate to pull 101 a million impression a month I think
00:42:04
that should be I guess if I was going just by the YouTube model you just have to get the streak once and then you're
00:42:09
in the program yeah uh it would be hard to imagine getting 70 million
00:42:14
impressions in a month and just not being in the program like pretty quickly but you know it's hard to tell we don't
00:42:21
know my other worry and I saw this a lot of people saying this is just does this potentially
00:42:26
incentivize people to steal more content on Twitter and post themselves versus
00:42:32
retweeting or linking to original sources like why would you link to a
00:42:38
YouTube video that might not get as many Clips when you can clip the YouTube video and upload it yourself it's
00:42:43
obviously gonna have to go through a bunch of copyright things now which I think already is apparent on Twitter just not as enforced as YouTube and now
00:42:50
you're potentially making money like why would you like am I wrong on that no no I was just like
00:42:56
that's a really soft there's whole movies like Shrek one two and three bro there's
00:43:02
like like the Super Mario movie was in theaters and on Twitter at the same time like this is reminding me of like the
00:43:09
Kik website they're just like yeah man come over here stream whatever you want like we're streaming the Super Bowl and
00:43:14
it's like you guys know that's not gonna work for very long right and they're already starting to now like strike all these big people that went over there
00:43:21
and are like I thought we could watch movies it's like no it's not the Wild West it's the internet still there's
00:43:27
still copyright laws that's exactly right so this is why it feels like Twitter and I've been telling people
00:43:32
that Twitter whenever I have any contact with Twitter like please communicate more like people need to know what the rules are and at this point we don't
00:43:39
know most of these rules like the on YouTube for example we know about the copyright system we know about how to
00:43:46
get into the partner program what the requirements are and then once you're in how it works you get all the analytics
00:43:51
and the revenue sharing information so you can optimize however you want based on info on Twitter none of that is
00:43:58
really communicated at all so you need people to communicate in
00:44:03
order communication team turns out but like this would be super useful information for this whole inflection
00:44:10
point to have the most impact but as of right now yeah it feels like yeah there's gonna be people who just go oh
00:44:16
more Twitter activity equals more money okay let's just post constantly and steal a bunch of
00:44:23
stuff and post more because there doesn't seem to be rules that specifically enforce that where when you do Define them then you you get better
00:44:29
answers to those guys yeah and I think like a a pretty good example of even past like like videos are pretty obvious
00:44:35
you're copyrighted or like audio it's pretty obvious you're stealing that but when it's just like a random thought it's very hard to prove that you were
00:44:43
the original of that and there are people that can just scrape not only Twitter but a ton of other stuff we know there's somebody who we know got very
00:44:50
popular on Twitter from just scraping Reddit threads about programming and now is like a has a very big following and
00:44:57
just basically retweets and reposts things that are already on the internet already and yeah probably is making
00:45:03
quite a bit of money from this yeah and I don't know if there's any uh Twitter copyright system the way you see it
00:45:09
built so clearly through YouTube like that's that system that was built behind YouTube like took years and negotiation
00:45:15
and lawyers and paperwork and like that is built now in a way that it's part of YouTube YouTube uh I hate to keep using
00:45:22
YouTube but like hey it's the yes to your platform so they've got to build it's figured out so yeah this is something they've got to figure out
00:45:29
whoever's in that office building just gotta figure it out I have a feeling they're just gonna wing it until they
00:45:36
can anymore yeah might as well um there's also threads conversations probably about this because threads is
00:45:41
so new I don't think there's obviously there's no Revenue share program but when they do start doing Revenue sharing
00:45:47
or ads or whatever they got to figure that out too yeah we'll see I'm interested to see I am very interested
00:45:53
with what Adam said is like when are ads gonna start getting onto threads um I guess to wrap up this conversation I
00:45:59
kind of wanted to see how you think or like how is threads been turned into your just like everyday
00:46:05
life right now because I think that's the most important thing yeah well I guess I can it's probably different for everyone we can probably yeah for me
00:46:12
personally uh it's a it's not on my primary home screen okay it's on one of
00:46:17
my home screens though okay it replaced uh his Twitter on your primary home screen uh no okay it's next to Twitter
00:46:23
on my third home okay cool so okay you know it's made it out the app drawer which is cool and yeah I open it just
00:46:29
for like the same level of entertainment as Instagram interestingly it's not the same content but it's the same level of
00:46:36
I'm just gonna scroll for a while and see some fun stuff and peace out um I was in an airport for four hours
00:46:42
and just like flipping back and forth you know it's just like casual passive entertainment and once in a while you engage a little bit reply for some
00:46:49
threads talk to people that's kind of what it is there's no DMS so yeah that's just like surface level what I use it
00:46:54
for yeah I'd say my use case on it right now is like I still have that habit of
00:47:01
just mines in a folder right next to Twitter but my my like habit is to just
00:47:07
folder Twitter like it's just like such a habit to just like yeah yeah so I'm so
00:47:13
much more hitting Twitter scrolling through Twitter and then being like this isn't great oh yeah there's threads
00:47:20
and then going the threads and then looking at that and then maybe replying like once and overall my just like my
00:47:27
usage of social media that's reliant on text posts has just dwindled quite a bit here's a question yeah let's say you you
00:47:34
have a bucket of all your social media let's say it's uh I don't know 100 units have your units
00:47:40
overall gone up or have you split up your units into smaller pieces like if you did like 50 units of Twitter and 50
00:47:48
units of Instagram are you now doing 50 more units of threads are you doing less Twitter or less Instagram to make room
00:47:54
for Threads weirdly I think I've probably just been using Instagram more
00:47:59
overall because it's just like seeing photos and and being more
00:48:05
following the people that I know in my like personal life has been I've just realized like man
00:48:11
as much fun as it is sometimes it's just like there's so many people bickering and arguing and like it's just more fun
00:48:17
to stay away from that a little bit on Twitter but I mean like it's gonna it's gonna be a thread soon it's probably
00:48:22
already starting to come in there my Twitter has been and it got cleaned up a little but so bot written and I know you
00:48:29
guys have mentioned that like there's a lot of that on threads lately I haven't seen it but I'm just not on threads as
00:48:34
much I would I would say like it goes Instagram Twitter and then threads but
00:48:39
I'm probably engaging more on threads but I'm reading Twitter more because I still think that's like a habitual thing
00:48:46
that'll be very hard to bring and that's and it's so like news based and there's so many like I like keeping up to date
00:48:52
with news and that's because people I'm following when threads does that and when it becomes more like apparent and
00:48:58
people are on there which will happen yeah I'll see myself using threads more maybe I would like a dim mode on threads
00:49:05
not the dark mode I like dim mode on Twitter not full blast specific okay it
00:49:10
is David agrees with me on this I know David agrees with me on this I for some reason it's like blue purple almost uh
00:49:17
yeah like super dark Navy or whatever I like white black it's not quite full black interesting okay I'm hoping for a
00:49:24
little trending topics page on threads yeah that would be nice trending threads trending words are you guys using
00:49:30
Twitter or threads at all I've been using it it did make my home screen um mainly because it's the new thing so
00:49:36
I'm just like trying it out and seeing seeing what it's about um but I do like it because a couple of
00:49:42
months ago I went through and like really curated who I was following on Instagram so my Instagram for the past
00:49:49
couple months I've actually been having like a decent experience which is crazy there's actually like interesting people
00:49:55
and creators and things that I like that I follow yeah um so when threads happened and it all just transferred
00:50:02
over it's been pretty interesting seeing those people now I have like a decent a different experience in Twitter which
00:50:07
when it first came out and I like was first starting to follow people it was all All Tech people so like Twitter for
00:50:13
me for the longest this whole time has just been exclusively tech people and now all of my other interests are also
00:50:18
on Twitter basically because of threads coming out yeah before you stop did you see
00:50:24
um they mentioned threads is adopting activity Pub they was like today they've been saying that they're going to do
00:50:30
that and they've been like doing their due diligence and going through it but I'm curious to see when it actually
00:50:36
happens I hope they do because it would be awesome yeah it would be really cool but we'll see
00:50:42
Alice I don't have threads nice at all no don't you have like the other one
00:50:47
don't you have like some weird that's why fake account on it I have a Twitter no you can't make a weird fake account
00:50:54
yeah you know what I mean so like I had Twitter and then everyone's like oh unless you gotta get T2 and then it's
00:51:00
like oh Alice you gotta get blue sky and then I was like oh Alice you gotta get I was like enough
00:51:05
threads is too late I'm done so uh yeah outside looking in cool okay so if
00:51:12
you see Ellis on threads it's not it's fake that's good to know that's that's super huge to know all right well I
00:51:20
think what we're gonna do after the break is hype or not there are no notes I have no idea how this is going to work
00:51:25
I think which I'm excited for but before we get into that we're gonna do trivia and then a quick break
00:51:31
[Music] okay question two do you guys want a tech trivia question
00:51:38
or a nature question agriculture you're asking Marquez and Andrew part of me
00:51:45
wants to stay Tech because when I get the other one wrong I'll be more embarrassed so the audience let's do a nature question
00:51:52
nature questions is this a nature is this a specific I'm still gonna get it wrong because it's a national park
00:51:58
question or is this just nature it's just nature in general but let's do that
00:52:03
okay cool so how many grizzly bears are alive in the world Jesus how how am I
00:52:10
gonna why can I tell you a really cool fact I learned this week sure does it
00:52:16
have to be an hour can it be later is it really related no it's not Grizzly but it is wildlife right now right now what
00:52:23
is the biggest natural predator to Moose humans no like biggest biggest largest
00:52:31
size wise largest yeah orcas yes dude good job moose man over here what they
00:52:39
swim and they swim up in like the Arctic oh they do and orcas have been known to
00:52:45
eat moose that's I don't think it's very common but it can't happen whoa that's
00:52:50
kind of crazy all right that's the best trivia thing I've heard Clara taught me yet over the weekend imagine being an
00:52:57
orca and being like Oh jackpot that's sick okay well we'll take a quick break we'll
00:53:04
be right back
00:53:14
welcome back we are going to do something now that we call hyped or not
00:53:19
hyped or over under or hypothetically speaking there's a ton of names that was the name yeah basically what we're doing
00:53:25
is me and Ellis are gonna go back and forth and name things in technology
00:53:31
maybe not in technology mostly in technology you guys have to tell us whether that thing is overhyped under
00:53:38
hyped and I'll give you each one perfectly hyped okay so you can use your
00:53:43
one perfectly hyped throughout this round and just be like okay yeah I think that's pretty good and we have to use
00:53:49
the perfectly hype in this scenario we can't retroactively go back yes because you want to like kind of save the
00:53:56
perfect yeah you got to save it for when you're really stumped it's more spicy if you have to use it exactly Fair okay
00:54:01
cool okay so I'm gonna start off with an easy one RED cameras
00:54:08
that's kind of easy are they yeah like not easy because to two different communities there's two very different
00:54:13
answers yeah that's I want to get into that give me both okay so among
00:54:19
um among normal people overhyped agreed nobody should get one
00:54:25
well they're also over hyped because like so many people are just like Marquez uses a red camera that's why
00:54:30
everything looks amazing they don't have any Talent it's just the red camera right and like red built their brand up in a way that made that easy like good
00:54:37
job red you have a strong brand people see red cameras and go oh wow nice camera uh but in like the video making
00:54:44
Community I think they're I don't know if they're appropriately hyped or underhyped but like
00:54:49
I think they're really good especially for a one person oh as a one-person shooting manual focusing camera as far
00:54:57
as that goes I can't get better quality out of any other camera me personally so I'm trying to average them I guess it's
00:55:03
like slightly under hyped I'm definitely not using my perfectly hyped on the first one it is hard to say underhyped
00:55:09
because like you can pull a lot of incredible footage out of a lot of cameras and like it's
00:55:15
really hard to be like oh yeah people aren't giving red enough credit because I think they're getting yeah I think
00:55:22
they're getting their credit it's very obvious they're getting their credit but like you said not many people ever need
00:55:28
to have one especially in our job the way we use them like we pull thumbnails as a still frame from a video and it is
00:55:35
a 33 megapixel full frame still that's unreal let's forget that from video
00:55:42
frames but I think as an average I have to say they're overhyped I think I kind of have to say they are over hyped yeah
00:55:48
yeah all right overhyped consensus yeah all right L is Europe This one is uh near
00:55:55
and dear to my heart okay licensed dongles like if you want to use some
00:56:00
software you have to plug a dongle into your computer and I I actually have a comment I want
00:56:07
to add on this because I feel like they're universally loathed I've never used one but I feel like I would hate
00:56:12
that here's here's the way I feel it right I use a lot of expensive software in my day-to-day and I have multiple
00:56:18
computers right and I don't want to have to buy that software twice
00:56:23
so as annoying as the dongle is it does let me multiple computer my stuff which
00:56:28
is why I'm throwing under Heights that's what it sounds like I I feel like I have
00:56:34
this is a little bit different but on our Netflix account you're only allowed to download to two different
00:56:40
devices but I've switched my phones enough time that I'm pretty sure there's a phone that has downloaded stuff on it
00:56:47
that's not deactivated and I cannot figure out so I only can down I have to when I go between my computer and iPad
00:56:53
and phone I have to keep deleting them off of it because I can only do one so if I just had a dongle that forced me to
00:57:00
do it I would always know where it is yeah SoundCloud does that but I don't it's my phone so I don't I don't want it
00:57:06
toggle I don't want people that's the problem yeah autophone is a pain in the neck NFC dongle that doesn't exist but
00:57:13
okay it's such a pain in a physical dongle though is a pain because you always have to bring it with you and then if you have multiple softwares now
00:57:20
I'm gonna look like the like Middle School Janitor of like keychain of software dongles walking around that was
00:57:26
me in college yeah I would say this it would be nice if this expensive software could also just log into more than one
00:57:33
computer at once so uh I'm going overhyped fair enough
00:57:39
that is the correct answer okay mine is Twitter like services
00:57:44
so Macedon oh overhyped it's easy all of them they're all over what every single one including Twitter is overhyped right
00:57:51
now well oh yeah the average would be over it literally has to be their marketing is to overhype it and everybody hyped yeah this guy is over
00:57:58
but they're only overhyped in our communities ask your cousins about Mastodon what do
00:58:05
they think like so then in that sense it's like everything is overhyped except
00:58:10
for threads which is is actually pulling out of the the uh Tech Community and
00:58:15
going to the normies out there and um but I still think over hike overall I
00:58:21
mean the other thing is is like all the smaller ones everyone wants to be like I have a blue sky in fight it's so
00:58:27
incredible through everyone yeah whatever you just wouldn't know because you didn't get to try it and that's
00:58:33
overriping like crazy threads did have a couple days there where they would put a little badge on your profile for what
00:58:39
user number you were yeah and the clout that I had was I was like top 1000 and
00:58:44
there were people who had like I was number 103 million 78 266 and it was
00:58:51
like I had a little little piece of me that was like yeah I was I was one of those people are selling the vanity number
00:58:57
accounts 420. it's already no it's gone all right it's already and now it's just it's just the threads logo just like we
00:59:03
thought it would be oh I didn't even notice that yeah cool yeah I guess uh I think you have to turn it on though I
00:59:09
think it's off by default okay yeah yeah either way they'll turn that on by default very shortly yeah I agree with
00:59:15
you though I think they're they're over hyped over hyped yeah yeah okay overhyped Ellis
00:59:21
RGB lighting over hyped next override yeah I think even like repeat it yeah
00:59:27
even the the crowd that likes it doesn't even really like it anymore do we consider these lights behind us RGB
00:59:33
lights they do everything I believe these are RGB IC I think RGB was a mistake
00:59:40
it was fun but even you look at like think of main gear custom computers
00:59:46
they're big ones selling now are like the stealth versions that have like oh yeah very like the lights are one color
00:59:53
and it's only to really accent all the really cool water cooling and post Parts exactly so we've definitely gone from
00:59:59
the RGB everything like burn your retinas into the like wow this is a cool like
01:00:06
razor beautiful yeah even razer's kind of doing it yeah 280 razor Mouse no RGB beautiful mostly
01:00:14
for weight saving but there was a there was an error where I refused to get a mechanical keyboard because they all had
01:00:19
just like you'd plug it in and it would just be like blasting you with RGB light waves for some reason it's a keyboard I
01:00:25
don't need this we have an extra five one where it's not even just through the keys it's literally the whole base plate
01:00:30
is you want to see any of your letters you're just going to see green red and
01:00:36
pink lights all the time yeah that was tough I'm I'm gone overhyped okay
01:00:42
tensor G2 is an interesting one is anyone hyping
01:00:48
it that's the question besides Google and David I
01:00:54
wow this is a tough one I mean if you're going camping you got to bring the tents right yes
01:01:01
the the G2 is better in the that is tough it's not okay I can evaluate how
01:01:08
good it is but I don't know how to evaluate how hyped it is it's pretty good but it's not that great like in the
01:01:15
pixel 7 and 7 Pro it's decently performant and okay battery life and for
01:01:22
some reason the pixel fold it's quite nicely performant and not good battery life at all
01:01:28
um but is it hyped at all that's kind of I don't know I think I'm gonna throw it as underhyped because just it hasn't
01:01:35
reached the level of us like considering it like when you talk about all Android phones you're like this has
01:01:42
the latest Snapdragon and like tensor is just such in this category by itself where iOS is as well but they've had
01:01:48
years of making that so you're used to saying this is like the new a whatever chip and then tensors just we've only
01:01:56
had two years of it two years yeah so like I think it's under hyped but it's
01:02:02
I don't know is the uh bionic is overhyped or underhyped I
01:02:07
think all phone chips are overhyped if I'm being honest I think I could say that the a16 bionic is under hyped
01:02:15
I could argue that I was gonna say all phone trips are under hyped because they're tiny little computers in your
01:02:20
pockets that are that are doing these crazy Fair things like processing on device building a voice out of scratch
01:02:27
from your own voice just like weirdly capable yeah and then I see like
01:02:32
10 Qualcomm videos out of Hawaii that are like the new Snapdragon video and I'm like this is right nobody cares
01:02:39
they're definitely overhyped in those I think just for law of averages sake I'm going perfectly hyped you're using
01:02:46
you're perfectly hyped here I'm using because if I say over hyped that implies that there is any hype at
01:02:52
all about tensor and I don't I just don't think there's really any hype and if I say under hype that would have to imply that tensor is like better than
01:02:59
expected in some way but it's not it enables a couple different things
01:03:04
that are pretty cool I mean the speech to text is super fast and Google assistant's good on device and it does
01:03:11
have now playing in the background I guess that's under okay I think I'm gonna go under her you talked me into it
01:03:17
I think now playing is pretty sweet I'm going under hyped now playing just for that one feature yeah which only works
01:03:23
on tensor it literally can't work on anything else in tensor G1 as well though okay but I'll I'll Snapdragon
01:03:30
could never let's go under hyped sure wait that was only a G1 feature G1 and NG I thought no playing's been on Pixel
01:03:37
for a while yeah it's both the tensorship I thought it was pre-tensor though really I think I am I like pixel
01:03:43
4 had it oh yeah Ellis just give me the thumbs up yeah never owned one sounds overhyped so
01:03:51
that's not a tensor feature I think it's been there for a bit and it never works when you wanted to I
01:03:57
swear I'm not just gonna say out playing I think is so cool and every time I'm like what song is this and I tap my
01:04:03
phone to see it nothing's okay so there is something to it and I have a tiny rant about this and it is complete speculation because I don't know how
01:04:09
this feature works but if you are sitting in a car and the radio is playing and the the song you know you
01:04:15
change the radio station it pulls up in the middle it will listen to the first five seconds of the song and instantly tell you what
01:04:21
that song is and that is amazing and I think what then it happens is it knows at what part of the song it was in and
01:04:28
it doesn't start checking for a new song until it gets to the end of course that
01:04:34
song would be so if you were in a four minute song and you pull up in the middle of that song you're not getting
01:04:39
another now playing answer for two more minutes and so if you're shuffling through radio and you get one id'd and
01:04:45
then you Shuffle to the next radio station you won't get it I if that's how it works I want to talk to the manager I
01:04:51
think that's how I love the conspiracy aspect of this is like maybe that's how it works because that's totally
01:04:57
something that I would believe would happen if that's how I I realized it yeah and that kind of makes
01:05:02
I think now playing is awesome I just realized I don't have it on my Zenfone and I've been using it for like a month
01:05:07
so apparently I didn't use it very much it's it's good it's good in Ubers all right sir you are you into perfectly
01:05:13
hyped then if the thing I'm stuck in was perfectly hyped okay yeah cool temperatures so you use your perfectly
01:05:19
hyped Andrew still has his all right streaming TV sticks
01:05:26
is there any I've at all about these I think it's overhyped because they're pretty much useless at this point are
01:05:31
they they're mostly built into TVs aren't they exactly well we're saying I wouldn't consider that
01:05:38
built into the TV I would just not consider that a streaming TV stick anymore but you can you can but you're
01:05:43
talking about like a Roku stick that you plug into a HDMI port at this point to turn a non-smart TV into a smart TV
01:05:50
right it's fine it's fine I mean most new TVs
01:05:55
have the Roku or YouTube or Netflix built in yeah and so if you have an old TV you plug in a stick and it works
01:06:02
exactly I use one for my like garage TV that I I'm not gonna buy a new TV for my garage because I rarely use it and the
01:06:09
chances of it breaking out there are it's like a 10 year old TV that I just have a Chromecast in there yeah maybe
01:06:14
I'm just like in a bubble here because my family is always super excited about all of the new sticks because they can
01:06:21
like hack it and put the Kodi on and all these crazy things and do they have an Nvidia Shield I know that's the thing
01:06:27
everyone sounds like it's overweight I'm not gonna answer that is is The Shield
01:06:33
one of the sticks are we counting the shield people still use that I have friends that use that Shields and they love it
01:06:39
from all the stuff they've done people love it yeah I don't even know what it is there's like a Shield MOD Community yeah yeah
01:06:45
I guess I gotta go over hype with them I'm gonna say override sorry over hyped sorry guys I'm sure there are people out
01:06:51
there where they haven't bought a smart TV yet but you will soon and it will be useless
01:06:56
yeah good thing it's only like 40 bucks usually next one widgets under hyped
01:07:01
under hyped yes like touchable widgets scrolling on the Apple watch it's supposed to be coming it's widgets in
01:07:07
general are so good and I've seen so many iPhone home screens since widgets have come out that don't have widgets so
01:07:13
I'm like guys what are you doing you're missing out widgets are so useful I'll I think I'm gonna use my hyped my correct
01:07:20
one here quickly because I do agree there are some that are incredible but there are way too many
01:07:27
that are just so pointless and take up your entire screen and just turn into clutter I don't get all the new widgets
01:07:33
on Mac because you're always gonna have windows open and that seems crazy I think I don't really use widgets that
01:07:39
much I'd rather like have a nice clean home screen I do think I do agree a bunch of them are great
01:07:45
widgets on the Mac are pretty dumb yeah I don't understand that but I think some on phones and iPads are like incredible
01:07:51
so like by average they're perfectly hyped yeah on on widgets for Mac at the
01:07:56
moment that they were announced at WWDC massively overhyped I'm just gonna pull up like the optional widgets I can put
01:08:02
on my phone right now but like I can't live without my calendar widget on it the Asus launcher
01:08:07
widget cool my authenticator widget actually that might be kind of nice yeah see you're about to log into Twitter you
01:08:13
just go home and bonus my code my Bank of America widget because I want to send money through Zell in a widget on my
01:08:20
phone that sounds reasonable that's insane that is insane that is crazy right the
01:08:25
Chipotle widget which just has to sign in to get rewards I definitely need a shortcut on my phone
01:08:32
there's a good one the Tesla widget constantly displays how much battery you have unless you lock and unlock that's pretty good solid it's pretty good I do
01:08:39
not need the in Brighton widget actually no
01:08:46
I love widgets there's so many good ones I can't I can't go under hyped for widgets because not enough people use
01:08:52
widgets I have to go sorry I can't go over hyped I have to go under hyped
01:08:57
which is I'm just gonna add the reddit is fun widget just because it's still there even though it doesn't work at all
01:09:02
rip I think I'm just gonna keep what is the tick tock widget oh it'll just like launch you into the tick tock camera
01:09:08
right away oh damn you got to be tick-tocking a lot to do that okay cool I'm gonna stick
01:09:14
with perfectly I don't use widgets well enough so I understand they're there but I can't call them overhyped okay
01:09:20
overhyped or under hyped the brown lucid under hyped you like it it's awesome
01:09:28
because it's two-tone right yeah it is it's the oh no we saw that in California
01:09:34
if it's a loafers of that's rough it's the loafer I don't I don't think there's
01:09:39
that much hype but I'm still going over hyped I think the Lucid in general design is under hyped I think people
01:09:44
hate on it too much and it does look I think it looks good and in some colors it looks really good it looks like a
01:09:51
brown ain't that color though it looks like a whale whale shark both sides look like a whale shark yeah
01:10:01
the brown is probably overhyped because if one person likes it then it's over right like Alice yeah sorry to whoever
01:10:08
is listening to this podcast I feel like the chances that somebody's listening to us in their Brown Lucid is actually
01:10:15
realized so I'm sorry yeah one time if you own a brown Lucid just know I'm on
01:10:20
your side send us the picture of us playing on your infotainment system
01:10:25
handheld gaming consoles overhyped over hyped yeah everyone's
01:10:31
smartphone gaming it's a hard disagree smartphone game I think they're actually under hyped right
01:10:37
now I think the switch brought it into play and everyone really liked it for a while and now
01:10:44
everyone's trying to do it and I still think this switch is just doing it the best and the switch is still the only thing I see people I went to the airport
01:10:51
and there were I saw two different groups of people with a switch propped
01:10:56
up on their suitcases playing Mario Kart on separate controllers yeah the switches I've done that before Awesome
01:11:01
every other one that's trying to be like a hardcore switch is just insanely small demographics the switch is just such a
01:11:07
it's the like Perfect Storm it's like yeah reasonably fun short games you want to play a bunch of or which could be
01:11:14
could run Windows and be overclocked yeah and play call like Half-Life
01:11:19
it's just not something I'm interested in I am going over hyper we're gonna get a lot of heat engagement for this I
01:11:26
can't wait it's totally fine I agree though I don't need to play Counter-Strike Source on the airplane
01:11:32
yeah or just use your laptop the Google pixel
01:11:39
fold I would like to go under hyped
01:11:44
it's my hot take is it's not a hot take but it's more
01:11:49
durable than I expected first have like sand in it yeah and it's fine isn't that crazy I had sand in it weeks ago to be
01:11:57
fair I thought it would be broken by now it's the same I went so for those who missed that uh when I was first testing
01:12:03
it when it first came out I went to a three day long beach tournament and I accidentally took it with me the
01:12:10
entire time I came back here I pull I opened the hinge
01:12:15
and and when I made that like hinge opening movement I could hear sand grinding in the gears of the hinge and I
01:12:22
thought this thing is gonna die within days of me getting back here it hasn't guess what I also did on the plane I
01:12:29
spilled water on it okay there's a water bottle in the little thing next to my seat and when I popped it open it was a
01:12:37
metal water bottle for some reason and it like fell onto the phone and it cracked the bottle open and it just
01:12:43
started pouring all over the phone and I picked it up and I was like well that's the end of this phone shook it out like
01:12:49
unplugged it from the homework it's fun it's totally fine that's actually really impressive it cracked oh no that's the
01:12:55
metal bottle thin metal water bottle what it sounds like the like the photos of like the old Volvos when cars would
01:13:03
crash into them and then the car would get destroyed because the Volvo is just like a rock that's no crumple Zone on
01:13:09
that thing yeah no that's the Cyber truck this is the Cyber truck of phones there it is it's the Cyber truck of
01:13:14
phones under hyped for sure pixel folds under hyped it's it's expensive I didn't say it was underpriced relative to the
01:13:21
time right now it's probably overhyped because it's the most recent folding phone and that is always the most
01:13:26
overhyped thing but like no the mat the mix Magic 2 came out after oh sorry I
01:13:33
guess yeah then I don't know so we're back yeah under hype sure yeah all right
01:13:39
next one Hyundai's new design language oh spicy
01:13:44
you can't get me to say under hyped I love their new design language I don't know just Hyundai just well okay Hyundai
01:13:52
and Kia because I love them yeah yeah so I wait so no yeah that would be I don't think people
01:13:58
are giving me I won't say overhead yeah I I'm very likely to say under hyped I
01:14:03
think they're under hyped I think some people are giving them credit I don't think but even like Claire all the time
01:14:09
has been and this isn't even just their EVS some of their just regular cars their ice vehicles are putting out tell
01:14:14
you right hello good man they look great Claire's like wow I really like like I saw a Kia Stinger here and I thought
01:14:19
damn that looks like a dude looks pretty sick kind of fire like I would never buy a Maserati but the Stinger looks like
01:14:25
one that I would buy they're both South Korean right I believe so yeah yeah killing it did you guys see the Santa Fe
01:14:31
the 2020. this morning it was looking yeah we were Brandon and I in the car concluded it looks like a Range Rover
01:14:37
but kind of like uh there's a very long conversation here but yeah we had a huge
01:14:42
I think Alex thought it looked a lot like darwiness but I think it's more Range Rover style
01:14:47
it is a through is a three row right there's no way it's that bulky with only two rows I think it's I think for a three row SUV
01:14:54
I think it looks fine I think it looks really good so wait Andrew you're saying I think it's under hyped I do think
01:15:01
people are giving a credit I don't think I also think people are giving them credit they look really good and I think
01:15:06
they still have the like cheaper brand just behind them but that doesn't my thing is that like it look they look
01:15:12
great but also like the car itself is like meh so that's good design because
01:15:19
the design is so much better than the rest of the car that you are let down by the car which means the design is great
01:15:25
that's true but I also think people are under appreciating how much of a moment in time this can be for
01:15:35
some manufacturers as they make their first EVS they can kind of turn the corner into being uh into changing a
01:15:42
reputation and I think they're doing it at the perfect time they're going to a new high school and they can reinvent
01:15:48
themselves exactly yeah people call me Charlie or whatever else name you're gonna make up I don't
01:15:54
know wait was that the Santa Fe that's what we were looking at I don't know I don't think it's just a Santa Fe yeah oh
01:16:01
yeah yeah it had like tailpipes and stuff it's funny because I'm looking at the Santa Fe out right now and it does not look like it has a third row so
01:16:07
maybe this does not but there's not enough pictures I think in here yeah the regular Santa Fe right now does not have
01:16:12
a third row yeah I don't know if they do that new one only has two rows I'd take it all back it looks like it like it has
01:16:18
it has to have three rows also in terms of cars being like met and the design looking good like didn't Doug demuro say
01:16:24
recently that like Prius pretty much every car you buy is going to be fine and at a certain point just buy the one
01:16:31
that you is that still true with EVS though I feel like it's not true with Evie yeah regular cars yeah true of all
01:16:37
the mature regular cars gas cars and hybrids yeah yeah I don't know there's nothing in here confirming that it's three rows so it might only be two but
01:16:44
this does look like it has more trunk space than the current yeah uh Santa Fe Mariah described the new Santa Fe as
01:16:52
quote having a badonk which is why I think it has to have three rows because if it only has two rows that thing's got
01:16:58
a trunk on see but this one's not as bad because some of them straight up look like they have like a saggy diaper like
01:17:04
the ev6 I think looks like it has a second Lucid the Lucid kind of has the saggy diaper yeah yeah just like too
01:17:11
much wait maybe six bottom yeah it does only because it's got that weird plastic
01:17:16
piece that like like is like the corner of it the plastic piece that looks like a saggy diaper
01:17:22
okay yeah but yep yeah look come on yeah
01:17:28
that piece I like the ev6 that's fully loaded baby
01:17:34
that piece I don't think it looks as saggy type there's just like too much behind the
01:17:40
wheel back here have you seen like the Porsches though that all have that like rear because they're literally rear
01:17:47
engine cars and they have all the weight over the rear axle pass the rear axle pass behind the rear
01:17:53
axle and that like also comes with the look of being like a I don't know if it's saggy but it has
01:17:59
the same like rear bite I think it needs to be like more High hatchbacky to like have the whole round like the tight
01:18:06
diaper filling yeah I don't know these don't these don't quite do it the which is a good thing I also think the the
01:18:12
Porsches since they're using Straight sixes a lot of the time it's like they they shape the car around that and they
01:18:18
used to be air-cooled too that's what I'm saying yeah
01:18:24
anyway sorry under hyped under hype design under hype design I do like them I still like the Kia ub6 by the way I
01:18:31
love that all right one more one more are you ready over hyped under hyped yep
01:18:37
Apple One I don't know what that is it's the sort of okay it's not Consolidated Google one
01:18:45
same idea it's like instead of the planets instead of buying Google storage just in Drive
01:18:53
you get like storage and photos Drive Gmail everything is like cloud storage
01:18:59
like your one Google One account it seems like it's just storage and a VPN I have Google so apple one is cloud
01:19:06
storage TV plus music and arcade oh and Premiere also adds Fitness and news plus
01:19:11
and music did I not say music if I didn't say music you might have if I didn't I read it off a list and severely
01:19:18
screwed up so apple one it's just the whole shebang it's at all baby it's the whole enchilada
01:19:24
seems like Google one is I'm gonna say under hype just because I had no idea yeah it was but I'm also just like not
01:19:31
in that ecosystem at all I think this is good I think I generally think streaming services are like people don't realize
01:19:38
how much value they're getting out of them and I generally think they're mostly under hyped like YouTube premium
01:19:45
being 12 bucks a month or whatever it is and getting ad-free access to the entire
01:19:51
like history of humanities video archived is pretty good I think that sentiment is right and will be wrong in
01:20:00
five years because so many streaming services are just taking full advantage and it's all going to turn into this
01:20:06
very weird too many of them asking for too much didn't Netflix just eliminate their 999
01:20:12
basic deal so now rather than a a basic no add one device it's only ad supported
01:20:19
or the like 15 Multi-Device 4K streaming version so what do you get for for
01:20:25
fifteen dollars a month I think you get up to two devices or like two or three devices you do get 4k and no ads or you
01:20:33
pay 6.99 and you get ads and then you get all of the shows that Netflix has
01:20:38
ever made in its history yeah well I'm ever hosted ever all the ones Netflix
01:20:43
made but like the ones that Netflix didn't make who knows how long they'll be on there and yeah you're in the
01:20:50
middle of watching something and then they just go away and even even now because it's new streaming service pops
01:20:56
up like peacock can take all the office episodes off of it right yeah I I guess
01:21:02
I don't know how much of a I don't really watch that much stuff that's not on YouTube but I guess with the ones that I do use they are super super worth
01:21:10
it yeah like Spotify like spotify's great whatever I pay for
01:21:16
it it might be 12 bucks 15 bucks a month unlimited I tried to I had I was on a demo device just a second ago playing
01:21:23
with something and I opened up the free version of spotify and tried to play a song and I got a video ad I got a video
01:21:29
ad to listen to a song that's crazy so paying for Spotify which I'm totally
01:21:34
down for and getting unlimited access to music period is pretty sick I know
01:21:41
people don't like paying monthly for things but I think Spotify is like the easiest one it's pretty good it's just
01:21:47
really hard to not from the users let's maybe use apple music but just like yeah if you use Spotify you don't pay for a
01:21:54
monthly do you I pay monthly okay you were making that face like don't look at it because I I used the free version for
01:22:01
a long time because I just didn't care I would just like Let It play and then oh and add whatever and then when I started
01:22:07
like commuting and I was only listening to music but then it was a problem Oh and add whatever it's like my music ends
01:22:14
playing yeah but if I'm like Spotify also don't you know you don't get to
01:22:20
choose a song in free Spotify um yeah I think you can only pick albums Shuffle play yeah yeah that's how I
01:22:26
listen to music anymore just albums but it would be like if I'm like doing my room modifies the whole reason it's like
01:22:31
I want to listen to like when a new album comes out it's just like you can't listen in order it doesn't like oh no by
01:22:37
the time Ram came out I was already listening I was already paying but there's albums like you know girl talk like their entire album is essentially
01:22:44
one song and then just listening to that out of words yeah or even like the incredible true story it has like a plot
01:22:51
line you have to list in order if you're especially the first time you listen to it you gotta you need spot I'd pay 10
01:22:57
bucks a month to listen to that album in order that's it do you guys remember iTunes Match
01:23:02
I've heard of that iTunes Match was the so it was released at the alongside
01:23:08
Apple music and they said I had it I was the biggest iTunes matcher of all time
01:23:13
where they said I could not get it to work it was so complicated it was 20 a year and if you had a huge iTunes
01:23:21
library um which I did I had like a four or 500 gigabyte iTunes library
01:23:27
they would take all of your iTunes library replace the files that were in apple
01:23:35
music with like the mastered for Apple ones and then upload all of that to the
01:23:40
Apple music servers so you could open the Apple music app and stream your
01:23:46
iTunes from anywhere you were so I didn't pay for Apple music for years but I was using essentially Apple music and
01:23:53
and still buying albums yeah damn yeah but now it's gone yeah I think I'm I
01:24:00
think we're just landing on under hyped yeah that's what's happening dope good place to end this yeah all right we
01:24:08
should get to the trivia we've got some trivia questions yes get those white boards
01:24:14
all right I wrote down the first one already
01:24:19
I'm not gonna change it so I was Googling through the internet I found out you could wake up a computer with
01:24:26
nothing but uh an internet connection and the name for this whole thing was so
01:24:33
funny that I I just had to turn it into a
01:24:39
trivia question so the options are a
01:24:46
womp that stands for Wake On magic packet
01:24:53
to clomp like a horse load on message packet
01:25:01
three Stomp that stands for sleep time over Mr pewter
01:25:12
four alarm which is an automated local access revive message
01:25:18
I think I'm ready we're both ready yeah we're both ready three two one oh man we
01:25:24
just put different things Marquez wamp it is womp wake on Magic packet
01:25:32
bummed no one shows sleep time over Mr pewter but Clump is a really good I was
01:25:37
like you're not gonna think about clubs there's no way he made that up seen this I've seen I don't know where I've seen
01:25:44
this what what's the name of that that Mario character it's like the
01:25:50
um well there's chain chomp but there's also isn't the the large Stone one
01:25:55
called like a womp it's basically this like flat one with feet and it goes like yeah and like smashes on top of you that
01:26:03
guy's if he has feet he's wamp but if he's floating he's a swamp Okay nice wow
01:26:09
that wasn't learned something new every day yeah I forgot yeah the floating ones like on Rainbow Road and Mario Kart and
01:26:15
the other ones are in like uh like Mario 64 and just run around in circles and
01:26:20
just try and body slam you how many wolves are there is that what the question was oh
01:26:25
question number two Marquez is already thinking about it trying to figure this out how many grizzly bears are there in
01:26:32
the world like what is the grizzly bear population the entire world the entire world and and we need the answer in in
01:26:38
kilograms how many kilograms
01:26:48
I'm gonna be an order of magnets exact number or is this is not going over closest without going over okay
01:26:55
grizzly grizzly I'm gonna answer and then have a question same oh I'm nervous
01:27:00
about my order of magnitude oh okay same order okay I said 33303
01:27:09
-33303 all right Austin yeah I wrote 10 000.
01:27:16
yeah I guess technically we don't know closest until David answers you will be
01:27:22
answering yeah what's the actual number the actual number is 55 000.
01:27:27
wow oh wow okay so Marquez is closer yeah Marquette will get the points grizzly bear or brown bear grizzly bears
01:27:34
according to world population review.com well ask David what he thinks the answers are uh both for the acronym uh
01:27:43
for waking up a computer B that is B wamp
01:27:49
that is correct womp wake up on a magic packet is the correct answer and for uh
01:27:56
how many grizzly bears there are on planet Earth 40 000. 40 000 is incorrect
01:28:02
but it is closest without going over for that question meaning you have taken the
01:28:07
point away from Marquez and Andrew there are approximately 55 000 grizzly bears
01:28:13
in the world David that gives you one point meaning you are tied with Marquez
01:28:19
no I have two points because I've got the first question right oh my gosh you have two points meaning you're in first
01:28:26
place week one season three trivia how does it feel uh feels just like every other week
