00:00:00
It's just like that. What's the point of
00:00:01
knowing what the weather is where you
00:00:03
are? I need to know what it's going to
00:00:05
be.
00:00:06
>> I can go outside. I can go outside.
00:00:09
>> Can you link up with other people and
00:00:10
then if you get enough people in a
00:00:12
localized region?
00:00:14
>> How does that tell you what it's going
00:00:15
to be? That just tells you
00:00:16
>> because then when it's coming from the
00:00:17
west, my homies to the west are
00:00:20
information. My weather homies.
00:00:26
>> Yo, what is up people of the internet?
00:00:28

>> in the spring and it was a lot of fun
00:01:28
and we got invited back to do it again

00:02:01
podcast things.
00:02:03
>> Come say hi.
00:02:04
>> Yeah.
00:02:05
>> Ellis will run up and down the, uh,
00:02:06
aisles again, and it will be beautiful.
00:02:08
And I'll
00:02:09
>> There's one thing I know to be true, it
00:02:11
is that Ellis will be running up and
00:02:13
down the aisles.
00:02:13
>> That's right. It was genuinely really
00:02:14
fun last time engaging with you guys. We
00:02:16
had a Q&A section. We had some more
00:02:18
engaging back and forth with people in
00:02:20
the audience. It was fun. So, we're
00:02:21
going to do some of that again. Yeah,
00:02:22
it'll be fun.
00:02:22
>> It'll be fun.
00:02:23
>> All right. Uh, we have a new Did they
00:02:25
even test this? I heard I hear it's
00:02:28
Adam's turn.
00:02:29
>> It's my turn. Okay, finally.
00:02:31
>> I have been waiting for this moment.
00:02:32
>> Wow.
00:02:33
>> So, on WhatsApp,
00:02:35
>> I use I have a group chat with my
00:02:37
friends and we send each other mainly
00:02:39
voice messages because we have like long
00:02:41
updates. So, every once in a while,
00:02:43
you'll just see like a 10-minute
00:02:44
message, and it's like, "All right, like
00:02:47
next time I'm commuting home or on the
00:02:49
subway and I have like 10 minutes, I'll
00:02:50
just, you know, just listen to this
00:02:52
short little podcast."
00:02:53
>> Wow.
00:02:53
>> Uh, so I'll press play and then it'll
00:02:58
just like pause randomly when I put the
00:03:00
phone back in my pocket. So, for the
00:03:02
longest time, I have to press play on
00:03:04
the voice message and make sure that
00:03:06
it's still on the message before I put
00:03:09
the screen to sleep. and then I can put
00:03:11
the phone in my pocket. And I thought
00:03:14
this was a Pixel or an Android bug.
00:03:17
Turns out I think it's just a pixel bug
00:03:20
because the other day I was using the
00:03:22
S25 Edge I borrowed from the office just
00:03:25
to play around and I was leaving a or
00:03:28
listening to a voice message as usual
00:03:29
and fully expecting to have to do this
00:03:31
like weird thing where I put the screen
00:03:33
to sleep before I put it in my pocket
00:03:35
because the proximity sensor like messes
00:03:37
up what it thinks is happening and
00:03:39
everything and it just worked perfectly
00:03:42
on the S25 Edge. So, I think this is a
00:03:45
Pixel issue specifically where
00:03:48
>> it like flipped to hush.
00:03:49
>> Yeah. Like the proximity sensor just
00:03:51
gets messed up and even if I'm wearing
00:03:53
headphones, it'll just like stop playing
00:03:54
or it'll start playing through like the
00:03:55
earpiece of the phone instead of like
00:03:58
>> It's very very annoying. Very weird.
00:04:01
>> So, it doesn't just stop, it just plays
00:04:02
through another source.
00:04:03
>> It plays through another source. Like it
00:04:04
thinks that
00:04:06
>> weirder than just weird.
00:04:08
>> That's true. It's weird. Like I'll press
00:04:09
play, put the phone in my pocket, and
00:04:12
instead of playing through my headphones
00:04:13
like it normally just was, it'll start
00:04:15
coming out of the earpiece on the phone.
00:04:18
>> H very weird. So, I'm just wondering if
00:04:20
they even tested this.
00:04:21
>> Wow. They probably did.
00:04:22
>> They probably didn't test it on a Pixel.
00:04:24
Yeah, voice messages on the Pixel.
00:04:26
>> Yeah, I don't know whose fault this is.
00:04:27
Pixel, Android, WhatsApp. There's many
00:04:29
people.
00:04:29
>> I'm happy to blame Meta. You want to
00:04:31
just I'm always happy to blame.
00:04:32
>> Yeah, it could be Meta's fault. I was
00:04:34
like deep in the forums and everyone was
00:04:36
like, "This is the only hack that
00:04:37
works." And this has been happening for
00:04:39
months.
00:04:39
>> Wow.
00:04:40
>> Damn. That like leave it on the screen
00:04:41
where the message is playing, put the
00:04:43
screen to sleep, and then when you put
00:04:44
it in your pocket, the proximity sensor
00:04:46
won't mess up.
00:04:47
>> What do you think most people blame in a
00:04:50
scenario like this?
00:04:51
>> The app maker.
00:04:51
>> The app maker, right?
00:04:52
>> Yeah, probably the app maker.
00:04:53
>> I think that's true. So like the app
00:04:55
maker kind of has to fix the issues even
00:04:57
if it's potentially from a different
00:04:58
phone because they're going to be the
00:05:00
ones.
00:05:00
>> Yeah.
00:05:01
>> If it's like a settings issue or like a
00:05:03
feature of the phone, then people are
00:05:04
smart enough to blame the phone maker.
00:05:05
But if it's just an app maker, that's
00:05:07
easy to just be like, "Yeah, fix your
00:05:08
app."
00:05:08
>> Yeah. WhatsApp with that.
00:05:10
>> H crazy.
00:05:12
>> All right. WhatsApp, if you're
00:05:13
listening, fix it.
00:05:15
>> Yeah. Adam, has that Slack issue fixed
00:05:17
itself yet?
00:05:17
>> WhatsApp is a meta product. I thought
00:05:19
you were just randomly bringing it. It
00:05:21
was like same here, bro.
00:05:22
>> I mean, for any every other reason as
00:05:24
well, but yeah, it's a meta product.
00:05:26
>> So, now we have two on the board. The
00:05:27
Slack thing is not fixed, I assume.
00:05:29
>> Uh, no. I also People said they liked
00:05:31
the segment. No one said they had the
00:05:32
same issue in Slack. I'm really
00:05:34
wondering if it's It feels like just
00:05:36
you.
00:05:36
>> Well, I I pulled up and also had the
00:05:38
same thing.
00:05:39
>> Yeah.
00:05:39
>> Well, remember last time I did this and
00:05:41
I I was like, "Oh, I have this thing
00:05:43
that unlocks my front door and it's
00:05:45
crazy that they don't have a widget."
00:05:46
And then the next week they were like,
00:05:48
"David, we made you a widget and now
00:05:50
it's a feature." And I'm like, "Well, I
00:05:51
can't complain anymore. I guess I don't
00:05:53
have anything else."
00:05:54
>> There was one person who commented, I'm
00:05:56
starting my Slack internship this
00:05:58
summer. This is the first thing I'll
00:05:59
bring up.
00:06:00
>> So, big summer project.
00:06:03
fixing that icon. Yeah.
00:06:05
>> Sick. All right. Well, we did get uh new
00:06:08
Samsung Galaxy S26s. And for video
00:06:12
viewers, you can see I'm holding the S26
00:06:14
Ultra. You might not have been able to
00:06:15
tell that it's an S26 Ultra cuz it looks
00:06:17
exactly like an S25 Plus, but I promise
00:06:20
this is the Ultra. It's the new violet
00:06:21
color.
00:06:22
>> Uh it's violet. Yeah. Or it had like a
00:06:24
two-word name. Feels blue to me.
00:06:26
Something violet.
00:06:27
>> Cobalt.
00:06:27
>> Cobalt. Yeah, that's what it is. Cobalt.
00:06:29
Violet. Violet. One of the new
00:06:31
>> what shiny colors
00:06:33
>> violet. You're turning violet. Two
00:06:34
colors now.
00:06:35
>> Yeah, cobalt violet.
00:06:36
>> Cobalt violet.
00:06:37
>> Anyway, yeah. So, we we know all the
00:06:39
things now. We all the specs, all the
00:06:40
features of S26, S26 Plus, and S26
00:06:43
Ultra. Quick story.
00:06:46
>> Uh I didn't get to go to the event.
00:06:50
>> Yeah.
00:06:50
>> So, here's the thing. Here's the thing.
00:06:52
Uh maybe a little inside baseball, but
00:06:54
for those of you who are also tech
00:06:56
YouTubers, you know about this. So,
00:06:58
Samsung when they're coming out with a
00:06:59
new phone, for example, will first uh
00:07:01
reach out to all of the tech media,
00:07:03
whoever it is, and go, "Hey, we've got
00:07:05
something to share with you. We have a a
00:07:07
briefing slot for you, and we have a
00:07:09
content capture slot for you in this
00:07:11
nearby city." And, you know, we kind of
00:07:15
have read the rumors, we've deduced, we
00:07:16
kind of figure out what it is, and we'll
00:07:17
go, "Oh, okay. Yeah, this is going to be
00:07:18
the S25." And we'll go, "Okay." We go on
00:07:21
the briefing. They'll explain all the
00:07:23
features and specs and price and we can
00:07:24
answer any questions and then we'll go
00:07:26
to a content capture session. So, if
00:07:28
you're a video creator or a social media
00:07:30
creator, whatever it is, you have time
00:07:32
to get hands-on and make your video. And
00:07:35
that's what you'll see all the YouTubers
00:07:36
publish at embargo time or when the
00:07:38
official announcement goes out, right?
00:07:40
Uh they've had one in New York many
00:07:42
times. They've had one, I'm assuming, in
00:07:44
California many times. I think there's
00:07:46
usually one in in London somewhere many
00:07:48
times so that creators from all over the
00:07:49
world can just sort of fly to these
00:07:50
local places. And then lastly, they'll
00:07:53
have Unpacked. And then Unpacked is
00:07:55
their big event where they'll do the
00:07:57
whole unveiling for everyone else in the
00:07:59
public to see. And they always ask us to
00:08:01
go to Unpacked, but I don't know, by the
00:08:04
time I've made my video, there's nothing
00:08:05
really more for me to see at Unpacked.
00:08:07
So, I typically don't actually go to
00:08:10
Unpacked. We that also that always
00:08:12
hasn't been the case of the the like
00:08:14
briefing right before and then it's
00:08:17
weird the embargo coming out at the same
00:08:18
time as the event. So our video is
00:08:20
totally made by the time the event
00:08:22
comes. So it's like what else is the
00:08:24
event before?
00:08:24
>> Yeah.
00:08:25
>> Um
00:08:26
>> that always hasn't been the case but it
00:08:27
has been lately.
00:08:28
>> I've gone to Unpacked a few times and
00:08:30
been like sitting in the audience
00:08:31
waiting for the event to start and
00:08:32
publishing my video from the seat at the
00:08:34
event which is like
00:08:36
>> that's they just they've done it like
00:08:37
that like the same time. Uh so but
00:08:41
lately they've just been like please
00:08:42
come to Unpacked. Please come to
00:08:43
Unpacked. And uh but also here's all the
00:08:46
stuff ahead of time. So maybe you don't
00:08:48
have to go to Unpacked. This year they
00:08:49
were like, "Yeah, there's no content
00:08:50
capture sessions anywhere. You have to
00:08:52
go to Unpack to do your content capture
00:08:53
session." I said, "All right, I guess
00:08:55
I'm going Unpack this year. It's in
00:08:57
California." And then we get two feet of
00:08:59
snow and it shuts down two straight days
00:09:02
of flights. And I booked and rebooked
00:09:04
and rebooked and rebooked and had two
00:09:05
straight days of flights canceled and I
00:09:07
just literally couldn't go. Uh Brandon
00:09:09
did go because he flew out of a less
00:09:10
snowy city and he was actually able to
00:09:12
get there. So he shot a bunch of footage
00:09:13
out there while I got the footage back
00:09:16
here. I got my briefing still. I got to
00:09:18
combine all of my information and the
00:09:20
footage and uh so I've seen the the
00:09:23
phones and I make the video and the
00:09:26
video still goes live at the usual time.
00:09:29
Uh but yeah, that sort of backfired
00:09:31
where Samsung like finally got me to go
00:09:32
to Unpacked and then the Blizzard was
00:09:34
like, "No, it's not going to happen."
00:09:37
>> Yeah. Can you tell the story of the
00:09:38
phone arriving this morning?
00:09:40
>> Oh yeah. So then uh you know unpacked
00:09:42
you also are supposed to uh you know
00:09:44
pick up the review device so I can make
00:09:47
my review. And uh since I'm not there I
00:09:50
said Samsung can you ship it to the
00:09:51
studio? They said sure. Yeah, we'll ship
00:09:52
it to the studio. It'll arrive on
00:09:54
Wednesday which is today.
00:09:56
>> So I'm editing this video this morning
00:09:58
of of the you know Brandon's footage and
00:10:00
putting this whole video together. And I
00:10:02
get like a knock on the door and the
00:10:04
door slides open on the studio and
00:10:06
there's a guy standing out of breath
00:10:08
holding a huge pink bag in his hand like
00:10:12
this is you. And he points at the bag
00:10:14
and it's got a label on it and I'm like
00:10:16
what? I assume this is not for me. He's
00:10:18
got to have the wrong address. But I uh
00:10:20
I go, "Yeah, can I like maybe help you
00:10:22
find the right place?" And I look and
00:10:23
sure enough it is our address. It says
00:10:26
MKBHD. It says our suite and everything.
00:10:28
And uh I go, "Oh, okay. Yeah. No, this
00:10:31
is for me. So, I signed for it. He goes,
00:10:33
"Sign, write your name." And I signed my
00:10:37
name and then he he dipped and that was
00:10:39
it. And I opened the huge pink box and
00:10:41
there's a smaller UPS box inside. I
00:10:43
opened that box and it's the Samsung
00:10:45
Galaxy S26.
00:10:46
>> Was he out of breath because it was like
00:10:48
by 10:00 a.m. or something?
00:10:49
>> He was out of breath because he was like
00:10:51
a courier, like a local service courier.
00:10:53
So, maybe he was like
00:10:56
stressing trying to get it here on time
00:10:57
or something. Maybe he had a deadline,
00:10:59
but he definitely was out of breath.
00:11:01
>> He was in shorts and a t-shirt and
00:11:03
boots. There's
00:11:04
>> a lot of snow outside. I It felt like he
00:11:08
ran here.
00:11:08
>> He probably sprinted through mounds of
00:11:10
snow to get here on time.
00:11:11
>> I don't outfit like that.
00:11:13
>> Also, I don't think you're understanding
00:11:15
how big the pink bag was that he came.
00:11:17
It was like gig. It was like 4t tall.
00:11:20
Yeah. Has like this huge zip around the
00:11:23
middle of it. So, it just really didn't
00:11:25
make any sense. Yeah. It's outside. you
00:11:27
can take a picture, put it on the pot.
00:11:29
Made no sense.
00:11:29
>> I was like, this can't cannot possibly
00:11:31
be for me.
00:11:32
>> Tim and I were getting water in like the
00:11:34
lobby and saw him walk in and I was just
00:11:36
like, what is going on? And then we
00:11:37
walked back and he's in the office
00:11:39
talking.
00:11:40
>> So, just for the phone and the buds?
00:11:41
>> Yep. Just for the phone. Just the phone.
00:11:43
>> That's crazy.
00:11:43
>> Yeah.
00:11:44
>> But yeah, now we have it here. So, shout
00:11:46
out to that guy cuz now we have the
00:11:47
phone and we can talk about it in
00:11:48
person. And uh I want to um issue my
00:11:52
disappointment to Samsung. Whoa. For
00:11:54
>> Is this for all the phones? No, just for
00:11:56
the Ultra.
00:11:57
>> Oh, okay.
00:11:57
>> They're just they they've just slowly
00:11:58
made the Ultra look just more and more
00:12:00
like the Plus. And you know, I
00:12:03
understand that when it was like really
00:12:04
sharp edges, maybe that was like not the
00:12:06
best for your pockets. I get that. But I
00:12:09
feel like the more aggressive design was
00:12:11
very much like it's Ultra, it's the
00:12:13
Ultra. The S21 Ultra is the best design
00:12:16
of all of them. I just kind of put that
00:12:17
out there.
00:12:18
>> So, I'll just run through real quick so
00:12:19
people know what's new or different
00:12:21
about this Ultra cuz you're totally
00:12:22
right and I have a lot of the same
00:12:24
thoughts.
00:12:24
>> Yeah. First of all, they slightly
00:12:25
changed the design. It's a tiny bit
00:12:27
thinner. It's a tiny bit more rounded.
00:12:29
So, it's a little bit less uh square.
00:12:31
>> It's a little more rounded.
00:12:32
>> They updated the camera rings to now
00:12:35
also have this like plateau around them,
00:12:37
kind of like the rest of the S series
00:12:39
lineup, and they switched back from
00:12:42
titanium to aluminum uh rails. It's what
00:12:45
everyone's doing. Everyone's like, "Oh,
00:12:47
it's bad."
00:12:48
>> I don't think other phones have had that
00:12:49
plateau.
00:12:50
>> The the base phones. Oh, sorry, not the
00:12:53
base phones. fold. The folds have had
00:12:55
this. Yes. And now the whole lineup has
00:12:57
this.
00:12:58
>> So now they all look the same as as
00:12:59
David was saying. And yeah, there are
00:13:01
like a couple new colors and there's
00:13:03
still $1,300. Still has the S Pen, still
00:13:05
has the bright screen on the front. And
00:13:08
the one big interesting new feature is
00:13:11
on the display, which is kind of
00:13:14
insanely complicated. I'm still trying
00:13:15
to wrap my head around how they did
00:13:17
this, but it's the privacy privacy
00:13:19
display feature, which is uh Okay, video
00:13:21
viewers are going to see this in person.
00:13:23
You can clearly see like the viewing
00:13:25
angles of the screen are pretty good
00:13:27
normally, but you've seen those like
00:13:29
privacy screen protectors people put on
00:13:31
their phone sometimes where if you put
00:13:32
it at an angle, it's pitch black.
00:13:34
>> Those are kind of annoying because they
00:13:36
like ruin your screen usually and also
00:13:40
>> you have to take it off if you get
00:13:41
annoyed by it. This is built into the
00:13:44
phone. You can turn on privacy display.
00:13:48
And now when I tilt it off axis, it
00:13:50
blacks out the phone. And this works
00:13:53
from vertical axis, horizontal axis.
00:13:56
It's very effective. And not only is it
00:13:59
very effective, but you can customize
00:14:00
exactly how it works. So you can have it
00:14:02
black out the whole display or you can
00:14:04
have it only black out certain apps. You
00:14:07
can choose those apps or you can only
00:14:08
have it black out password fields and
00:14:11
notifications if you want. Like it's
00:14:13
very specific to
00:14:14
>> Can you do the password fields? I swear
00:14:16
I remember them showing a thing for
00:14:18
that, but I don't remember them showing
00:14:19
it in the event.
00:14:20
>> So, password fields, it says pin,
00:14:21
pattern, and password. That's just lock
00:14:24
screen and settings and secure folder.
00:14:27
So, it's not in a bunch of other apps,
00:14:29
but if you just black out your whole
00:14:30
banking app, like that's probably
00:14:32
>> Yeah, you should do that.
00:14:33
>> So, yeah, that it seems to work
00:14:35
incredibly well. It only dims the
00:14:37
display a little bit when I turn it on.
00:14:40
It's It's really good. Yeah, it seems
00:14:42
like they're doing it by directing the
00:14:44
light only directly up out of the screen
00:14:46
instead of letting it kind of emit
00:14:48
>> almost like a
00:14:49
>> like a pair of washers over each
00:14:51
individual picture pixels that lenses
00:14:55
>> goes higher to narrow the width of the
00:14:57
light emitting.
00:14:59
>> It's really cool. I want to like see you
00:15:02
probably can't see it up close cuz it's
00:15:03
Think of that on every single pixel.
00:15:06
>> Yeah.
00:15:06
>> And that you can like turn it on and off
00:15:07
is really cool.
00:15:08
>> That Well, yeah, I guess. So then they
00:15:10
come back down all the way to the bottom
00:15:11
so it doesn't interrupt the width of the
00:15:13
light emitting.
00:15:15
>> So it it raises. But like the little
00:15:17
animation they showed was like
00:15:18
>> oh there's just everyone's got an
00:15:20
animation for everything like the Fort
00:15:22
Knox animations 800 times. Like this
00:15:25
means nothing. But this I was watching I
00:15:27
was like oh
00:15:28
>> wait that's really really cool.
00:15:30
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:31
>> And I wish I could see like the
00:15:33
mechanical aspect of it.
00:15:34
>> Yeah. It seems to be hardware right?
00:15:35
It's hardware display innovation. When
00:15:38
you turn it on, do you feel like
00:15:40
something moving inside? Like how does
00:15:41
that even work?
00:15:42
>> So essentially Fortnite Samsung might be
00:15:45
a joke. Samsung. I was waiting to see
00:15:48
the the how they explained it in the
00:15:50
keynote because my briefing didn't have
00:15:52
a lot of technical information on how
00:15:53
exactly they're achieving this, but the
00:15:55
way they seem to dis to describe it in
00:15:57
the keynote is they have half of the
00:15:59
pixels are regular wide emitting light
00:16:02
pixels and half of the pixels have this
00:16:04
sort of a focusing hardware on them. I
00:16:08
don't know if it's hardware or lenses or
00:16:09
whatever where they are very narrow uh
00:16:12
emitting just forward. And so when you
00:16:15
turn this feature on, all of the wide
00:16:17
emitting pixels turn off because it's an
00:16:20
OLED and you're just left with the
00:16:22
narrow emitting pixels.
00:16:23
>> Oh, so it's not all pixels that have
00:16:25
this like screen over it. It's just the
00:16:26
random half of them.
00:16:28
>> Got it.
00:16:28
>> And so if you have those just those
00:16:30
narrow emomitting pixels on, I assumed I
00:16:32
would see a big hit to screen
00:16:34
brightness. And I'm sure maximum
00:16:35
brightness is lower, but it still looks
00:16:36
totally fine when I look straight at it.
00:16:39
And yeah, then you can customize like
00:16:40
which pixels turn on and off. So, if you
00:16:42
just have a notification come in, you
00:16:43
can just turn those narrow pixels on and
00:16:46
leave the rest as wide emitting pixels.
00:16:47
>> Does that mean your your resolution is
00:16:49
worse when it's on?
00:16:51
>> Yes. Yes.
00:16:52
>> I didn't think of that.
00:16:52
>> So, half your pixels are off, so half
00:16:54
your resolution is gone.
00:16:55
>> And all of them are on when it's when
00:16:58
the privacy protector is off.
00:16:59
>> Correct.
00:17:00
>> So, it's using the narrow and the wide
00:17:02
ones normally.
00:17:03
>> Yeah.
00:17:03
>> Huh. That's really cool. I guess if
00:17:06
you're somebody who really wants just
00:17:08
privacy on some things, then you don't
00:17:10
really No one cares if they have 4K Bank
00:17:13
of America app open, I guess. But um
00:17:15
>> yeah,
00:17:16
>> so you do lose resol I wonder what the
00:17:18
resolution is. It's just
00:17:19
>> so the resolution is the same. It's
00:17:21
still a 1440p display when it's maxed
00:17:23
out. So yeah, it's theoretically half
00:17:26
half your pixel density is gone.
00:17:27
>> Huh. And I mean, I'm looking at it like
00:17:29
really up close because I maxed out the
00:17:31
screen resolution right away and I
00:17:33
turned it on. And yes, it does get a
00:17:36
little bit more pixelated
00:17:37
>> from this angle is crazy because I saw
00:17:39
you looking at it and then when you
00:17:40
turned it on, it just went black.
00:17:41
>> Blacked out. That's hilarious. Perfect
00:17:43
angle.
00:17:44
>> Yeah, I I don't mind that resolution
00:17:47
lost for that feature.
00:17:48
>> You should show Ellis the uh cuz I think
00:17:50
you missed that part of the event where
00:17:52
like a notification comes up and just
00:17:54
the notification is like black. You did
00:17:56
see it.
00:17:56
>> Yeah, that's cool. That is like one of
00:17:58
the cooler demos I've seen in a while. I
00:18:02
>> Yeah, I mean they used a lot of the
00:18:03
keynote talking about that for sure. It
00:18:05
was the the first thing that they talked
00:18:07
about during the keynote. So
00:18:08
>> So to Samsung's credit and they've done
00:18:11
like a bunch of crazy display
00:18:12
innovations in the past. They've done
00:18:13
the Note, they've done the Galaxy Mega,
00:18:15
they've done the Galaxy Round, they've
00:18:17
done the trifold, the regular fold,
00:18:18
they've done a lot of crazy screen
00:18:19
stuff, so this is right up Samsung's
00:18:20
alley. But also to your point, David,
00:18:23
the rest of this phone
00:18:24
>> feels less unique than ever before. And
00:18:27
I think my review I feel like I have to
00:18:29
say feels less like an Ultra than ever
00:18:31
before.
00:18:31
>> Yeah,
00:18:32
>> it does have a S Pen, but it's kind of
00:18:34
just like way the Bluetooth in the S
00:18:35
Pen. It's like a bigger S26 Plus.
00:18:38
>> I think to David's point, like the
00:18:40
boxier display, like
00:18:42
>> it still all kind of felt like a Note to
00:18:44
us, right? Like it felt like the Note
00:18:46
was just released at the same time and
00:18:48
they called it Ultra. Now, this just
00:18:50
feels like an S26 lineup. Yeah. Like
00:18:52
plus+ or Yeah. Plus.
00:18:54
>> I mean, my theory is like last year for
00:18:55
Q1205 of all the Samsung folds of all
00:18:59
the Samsung phones sold, the S25 was the
00:19:01
third highest selling with the two
00:19:03
before it being the cheap phones, like
00:19:05
the pay as you go phones, which sell a
00:19:06
crazy amount.
00:19:07
>> And so, I think that they probably just
00:19:09
want to make the Ultra more appealable
00:19:11
to more people and seem less aggressive
00:19:13
so that more people are like content
00:19:15
with it. It's really interesting
00:19:16
>> because everyone in the United not
00:19:18
everyone in the United States, but a
00:19:19
large chunk of the United States just
00:19:21
buys phones through carriers anyway on
00:19:23
carrier plans. Yep. And so most of these
00:19:25
companies are selling the most expensive
00:19:27
phone to the most people. So at least in
00:19:30
the United States, the iPhone 16
00:19:31
apparently did sell more than the 16 Pro
00:19:33
Max in the Q1 of 2025, but the Pro Max
00:19:36
is always near the top.
00:19:37
>> Yep.
00:19:38
>> So I don't know. I'm assuming they're
00:19:39
just trying to sort of like make it a
00:19:41
little more simple so it appeals to more
00:19:43
people. Well, you know, they also
00:19:44
narrowed the difference in price between
00:19:46
the base phone and the Max or the Ultra.
00:19:48
>> This is Yeah.
00:19:50
>> Did they at least raise the storage?
00:19:52
>> So, they did
00:19:53
>> cuz iPhone did this too.
00:19:55
>> Yeah. So, last year S25 was $799,
00:20:00
>> right?
00:20:01
>> Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I got confused. I
00:20:03
think this they technically the S25 is
00:20:07
the same price without the 128 gig
00:20:09
option, which
00:20:10
>> is exact. They keep doing this the third
00:20:13
company to do this.
00:20:13
>> Apple's the was the same price as the
00:20:16
year before, but you just the more
00:20:18
storage. That's what Samsung should have
00:20:20
done. Samsung just took away a cheaper
00:20:23
option.
00:20:24
>> Yeah.
00:20:24
>> And kind of like played it off with
00:20:26
like, well, you get more storage. It's
00:20:27
like, yeah, but you could have gotten
00:20:28
that same phone for the same price.
00:20:31
>> Storage is crazy, right? Storage is like
00:20:32
half the cost of the phone. So, there is
00:20:34
no 128 gig version of the of the S26 at
00:20:37
all. It starts at 256 gigs.
00:20:39
>> Okay. And of that phone is is nine is
00:20:42
eight is $900.
00:20:44
>> $8.99
00:20:45
>> for the regular one.
00:20:46
>> The regular S26.
00:20:47
>> That's garbage.
00:20:49
>> So then it's 256 gig, 1100 for the S26
00:20:52
Plus.
00:20:53
>> No way.
00:20:54
>> $1,100
00:20:55
>> and then it's 1300 for the Ultra.
00:20:57
>> That's crazy.
00:20:58
>> So yeah, they've they're all expensive
00:21:00
phones. And when you look at what other
00:21:02
phone companies are calling Ultra with
00:21:04
these crazy fast charging like silicon
00:21:06
carbon batteries and these massive
00:21:08
display and camera arrangements like all
00:21:10
these insane features that they're
00:21:11
doing, this doesn't feel as much like an
00:21:15
ultra phone like the way those do. Yeah.
00:21:18
You know, they're really trying to sell
00:21:19
the Ultra though cuz when you go to
00:21:20
samsung.com and you go to shop, it just
00:21:23
lists Galaxy S26 Ultra. And then from
00:21:26
there, when you go to that page, you can
00:21:28
you can pick Galaxy S26. And it's like a
00:21:31
tab on the top that's really easy to
00:21:33
miss.
00:21:33
>> It's like you're going to buy the Ultra.
00:21:34
>> You're going to buy the Ultra.
00:21:35
>> Wait, does the Do the regular ones come
00:21:37
with the privacy screen or is that an
00:21:38
ultra feature?
00:21:39
>> Ultra.
00:21:39
>> It's only ultra.
00:21:41
>> So the 26 and 26 Plus is
00:21:43
>> they're the same phone.
00:21:44
>> It's the same.
00:21:44
>> And they're kind of terrible deals
00:21:47
compared to like the Pixel and the
00:21:49
iPhone.
00:21:50
>> And they those phones really didn't
00:21:51
change much. Like I think the B the
00:21:53
battery went from 4,000 to 4,300 on the
00:21:55
base. Otherwise, it's like same phones,
00:21:57
same cameras, slightly different design.
00:22:00
mostly everything else.
00:22:01
>> The most boring looking phone I've ever
00:22:03
seen in my life.
00:22:04
>> Yeah, it's a generic standard phone.
00:22:07
>> It's honestly not even a It's not Pixel
00:22:09
isn't even a better deal because Pixel
00:22:11
10 is 800, but that's at 128.
00:22:14
>> Inside you there are two wolves.
00:22:15
>> So 256 you're at the same price.
00:22:17
>> Yeah. You're either the S26 standard
00:22:20
edition or you're the trifold.
00:22:22
>> Yeah.
00:22:22
>> The two wolves of Samsung.
00:22:24
>> This the Ultra.
00:22:27
All you needed All you needed to do if
00:22:30
the S26 Ultra comes out with the privacy
00:22:34
screen, Chi2, and like a silicon carbon
00:22:37
battery, it's like phone of the year
00:22:39
right off the
00:22:41
>> What a bad phone. What an actual
00:22:42
upgrade. Instead, they're like kind of
00:22:44
ugly though.
00:22:44
>> Hey, here's a pretty cool thing. Let's
00:22:46
give you that, nothing else, and just
00:22:47
yap about AI slop for a while.
00:22:49
>> Didn't you say they would have you you
00:22:51
thought it would have magnets? I do have
00:22:53
to issue an apology to all of our
00:22:55
listeners.
00:22:55
>> We thought it would have magnets. strive
00:22:57
for accuracy at this podcast.
00:22:59
>> That was a prediction.
00:23:00
>> I gave you
00:23:00
>> I'm very confident
00:23:02
>> fake news and uh I apologize.
00:23:05
>> But next year we got it next year
00:23:07
>> cuz we all said it wasn't going to have
00:23:08
mag.
00:23:09
>> Well, my uncle works at Samsung and he
00:23:10
said that next year they're going to
00:23:11
have GT.
00:23:12
>> Yeah, they're but you
00:23:15
>> Bixby stick or something like that.
00:23:18
>> Yeah. Speaking of Bixby, you know, a lot
00:23:20
of the other features that they talked
00:23:21
about with these phones and that are new
00:23:22
are software. So, a bunch of AI stuff, a
00:23:26
bunch of Bixby, a bunch of integrations,
00:23:29
Gemini here, Perplexity there, a little
00:23:32
bit, you know, there's a new the new
00:23:33
Bixby is technically technically LLM
00:23:35
powered. It used to be a small language
00:23:37
model. Now, it's a large language model.
00:23:39
>> So, I'm going to be trying out this new
00:23:40
Bixby. So, yeah, we'll see how that
00:23:42
goes. Um, but yeah, they they managed to
00:23:46
import or build their own versions of a
00:23:48
lot of the same features that have made
00:23:51
Pixel phones Pixel phones. Like they
00:23:53
have call screening now and they just
00:23:54
have a different name for it, but they
00:23:55
have like that they have um,
00:23:58
>> God, it's like Nudge Nudge or something.
00:24:00
>> Yeah, now Nudge Nudge. Now, nudge, which
00:24:02
is essentially magic Q, which is both
00:24:05
meaningless things to say out loud, but
00:24:06
it's basically uh built into the
00:24:08
keyboard will give you suggestions of
00:24:10
things to type based on the context of
00:24:13
the conversation you're having.
00:24:14
>> When they announced that, I was like,
00:24:16
>> I've had that for 50 years.
00:24:17
>> I was like, Marquez, is this that thing
00:24:18
Google has? And both of us were like, I
00:24:20
can't remember the name of it. you
00:24:21
looked it up and then I went I honestly
00:24:24
don't know if that's working on my phone
00:24:26
cuz either I just don't use it and skip
00:24:28
by it all of the time cuz it's so
00:24:30
useless or it literally doesn't work.
00:24:32
>> I couldn't tell you which one it was.
00:24:34
>> Yeah, I hardly use it. It doesn't really
00:24:37
work on the Pixel. It's It's supposed to
00:24:39
be a fun pixel feature.
00:24:40
>> Yeah, it popped up once for me and it
00:24:41
was wrong.
00:24:43
>> Unfortunate.
00:24:44
>> So, yeah, maybe now Nudge will be a
00:24:46
little better. Maybe. Uh they also have
00:24:47
this like image playground thing. I
00:24:48
think it's called creative studio where
00:24:50
you can like AI generate whatever thing
00:24:53
image you want. Like they had endless AI
00:24:56
generated images uh as features
00:24:59
>> of cupcakes basically.
00:25:00
>> What did I think Allison Johnson posted
00:25:03
an article that was like it's Samsung is
00:25:05
on slopwatch for unpacked 2026.
00:25:07
>> They called it an AI phone.
00:25:09
>> Yeah.
00:25:09
>> In all caps at the AI agent.
00:25:12
>> Didn't they call it AIOS?
00:25:15
>> Samsung just invented iOS. That's iOS.
00:25:19
It's iOS.
00:25:19
>> They didn't invent iOS. They invented a
00:25:21
iOS.
00:25:22
>> There are other iOS.
00:25:25
Yeah.
00:25:26
>> Your grammar is wrong. Shouldn't be an
00:25:27
an iOS.
00:25:28
>> Yeah. Um, it was tough. It was tough.
00:25:31
So, a lot of s, you know, take it or
00:25:32
leave it. Some of that stuff, I'm sure,
00:25:33
will trickle down to older phones as
00:25:35
well. But if you're if you're thinking
00:25:36
about S26s,
00:25:38
you now know that they're very similar
00:25:40
to S25s. And then the Ultra has this one
00:25:43
sick display feature.
00:25:44
>> Charges at 60 watts. Now, that's a big
00:25:46
>> and charges. So, the whole lineup
00:25:48
charges a little faster than before. 25
00:25:50
watts on the base, 45 watts on the plus,
00:25:53
60 watts on the Ultra.
00:25:54
>> I wonder if it's cuz I remember this is
00:25:56
either the I think this was the S20
00:25:58
Ultra when they said it charged at 45
00:26:00
watts and it only charged at 45 watts
00:26:01
for like 2 minutes.
00:26:03
>> This will be similar. I think it's going
00:26:04
to peak charge watts, but I think this
00:26:06
stat that's maybe more informative is
00:26:08
it's like zero to or 10 to 80% in half
00:26:12
an hour or something like that, which is
00:26:14
decent. Can I complain about something
00:26:16
that's only for us?
00:26:18
>> In the spec sheet that they sent us for
00:26:20
your briefing,
00:26:22
>> the way they describe charging is the
00:26:24
S26 has super fast charging, the S26
00:26:27
Plus has super fast charging 2.0, and
00:26:29
the S26 Ultra has super fast charging
00:26:32
3.0.
00:26:32
>> Oh my gosh.
00:26:33
>> No wattage numbers, no numbers.
00:26:35
>> This is exactly how this is how Apple
00:26:37
does it, too. I had to get that. They
00:26:39
just they just give you this bad
00:26:41
branding without any of the technical
00:26:42
>> that same sheet has an option like it
00:26:44
shows all the storage options and then
00:26:46
it says micro SD not available not
00:26:49
available not available
00:26:50
>> like why even why even put it on those
00:26:53
>> just get rid of that column guys.
00:26:55
>> Yeah, they're going to bring it back. I
00:26:57
don't know. Anyway, um yeah, it comes in
00:26:59
cobalt violet which I don't know why
00:27:02
they call that
00:27:03
>> that's my favorite Microsoft product.
00:27:07
Cobalt.
00:27:08
>> Microsoft Cobalt Violet.
00:27:10
>> I hope.
00:27:11
>> Oh, co-pilot.
00:27:12
>> I was gonna say Dual Lia hates that
00:27:13
color.
00:27:13
>> I didn't get it. I Thank you for
00:27:16
spelling it out. I didn't get
00:27:17
>> You going to keep that in the podcast.
00:27:19
>> Hey man, you had a lot of bangers last
00:27:21
week. You can't win them all. Okay. Um,
00:27:24
sky blue, which I did like that color.
00:27:27
Uh, black and white. Did not like those
00:27:30
colors.
00:27:31
>> No, black is the one
00:27:33
>> is
00:27:34
>> Are there any online exclusive colors?
00:27:36
Yeah, there are there are silver shadow,
00:27:38
whatever that means.
00:27:39
>> Wait, that's the exclusive.
00:27:40
>> It's like gray basically, and pink gold,
00:27:42
also exclusive. Not rose gold.
00:27:44
>> Not rose gold. That's patented. Yeah,
00:27:46
that is
00:27:47
>> I don't even see I almost forgot. How
00:27:49
could I forget? Slightly wider apertures
00:27:52
in the Ultra's primary and telephoto
00:27:54
cameras.
00:27:54
>> Never mind. I'm all in.
00:27:56
>> How could I forget?
00:27:57
>> Yeah, they do have like an action mode
00:27:58
now that they had that like straightens
00:28:00
the horizon and that uh Becca did like a
00:28:03
short on it and it actually did look
00:28:04
very good. She was able to like rotate
00:28:06
the camera like this and the image
00:28:08
stayed like exactly the same. It like
00:28:10
did not move at all.
00:28:10
>> It's clever. It's similar to what Apple
00:28:13
did with the selfie camera on the iPhone
00:28:15
where if you are recording a small
00:28:17
enough section of that rectangular
00:28:19
sensor, then you can fully stabilize the
00:28:23
center portion
00:28:23
>> the whole thing based on whatever the
00:28:24
orientation is. I'm just explaining that
00:28:26
poorly, but
00:28:28
>> it's clever and uses the hardware.
00:28:30
Marquez, we are locked in because I was
00:28:32
about to bring that up because I was so
00:28:34
mad that they did not steal that from
00:28:35
Apple with the S20 sensor.
00:28:37
>> Yeah, like why not? I was just hyping
00:28:39
this feature up yesterday to Jess
00:28:40
because she was asking me how that
00:28:42
selfie feature worked
00:28:44
>> and I was like, it's so good. I can't
00:28:45
wait for everyone to steal it. There's
00:28:47
actually an event tomorrow that maybe
00:28:48
we'll see what the S2 and Nope. No
00:28:50
stealing. So, they didn't do it with the
00:28:52
selfie camera, but that one feature of
00:28:54
like super super stabilization,
00:28:56
horizontal lock, uh, allows you to like
00:28:58
literally flip your phone upside down
00:28:59
and the horizon stays locked because it
00:29:02
has that much degrees of stabilization.
00:29:05
>> Yeah. Which is cool.
00:29:06
>> Well, that's boring. So, Samsung phones
00:29:08
for you.
00:29:09
>> We should should we do the nothing phone
00:29:10
before we take it a break or should we
00:29:12
do it after the break?
00:29:13
>> Let's save it for after the break.
00:29:14
>> Okay.
00:29:15
>> Yeah.
00:29:15
>> But you know what we should do before
00:29:16
the break? Um, the MacBook trivia.
00:29:20
>> Okay,
00:29:22
little teaser there. Head fake.
00:29:24
>> The MacBook.
00:29:25
>> There's a new We're going to talk about
00:29:26
a MacBook.
00:29:27
>> What?
00:29:27
>> Later.
00:29:28
>> Why is that not in the in the outline?
00:29:30
>> It is.
00:29:31
>> I have nothing about this MacBook.
00:29:32
>> H,
00:29:33
>> you have nothing.
00:29:34
>> All right. Well, the question Ellis, hit
00:29:36
it.
00:29:36
>> Were you paying attention?
00:29:39
>> The most boring keynote of all time.
00:29:41
>> You guys were not paying attention.
00:29:43
This whole keynote could have been a
00:29:44
press release, but at the end of it,
00:29:47
they showed off an expert raw mode
00:29:49
feature that ensures efficient and
00:29:51
highquality images of underwater coral
00:29:53
and fish and stuff when you're swimming
00:29:54
or diving in the ocean.
00:29:55
>> Yes.
00:29:56
>> What is it called?
00:29:58
>> And actually, this feature is not new.
00:29:59
Apparently, I was looking it up. It was
00:30:01
released in S24 Ultra, which is funny.
00:30:03
They just brought it up again.
00:30:04
>> They just brought it up again for
00:30:06
>> I think I remember what they called.
00:30:07
these company's favorite things to do is
00:30:09
to reintroduce a feature as if you're
00:30:11
hearing it for the first time.
00:30:12
>> They do that a lot.
00:30:13
>> There's so many times when we're like
00:30:15
writing scripts on stuff like that,
00:30:17
>> I have to just go back and check things
00:30:19
again and be like, I know in the
00:30:20
briefing they like claimed they made it
00:30:23
seem like this.
00:30:24
>> Yeah. And then I'll be like, that
00:30:26
happened already.
00:30:26
>> I mean, they showed circle to search
00:30:28
twice in this one event. This is the
00:30:30
40th time they've showed circle to
00:30:32
search. I swear.
00:30:33
>> Yeah.
00:30:34
>> All right. Well, I think I remember.
00:30:36
Well, think about it.
00:30:38
>> I swear I was paying attention.
00:30:39
>> I I wasn't I don't even remember the
00:30:41
question Adam asked.
00:30:44
>> He wasn't even paying attention to this
00:30:45
podcast.
00:30:47
>> All right.
00:30:48
>> Which pixel came in coral?
00:30:51
>> Oh, that was three. In the biz, we call
00:30:52
that a call back.
00:30:53
>> No, three of a sand. Answers will be at
00:30:55
the end like usual. Four. We'll be right
00:30:57
back.

00:32:09
>> All right, welcome back. We got to talk
00:32:11
a whole lot about nothing. I think we've
00:32:12
used that joke like 70 times
00:32:14
>> and I will continue to use. That's my
00:32:16
bad. I should have done a little I
00:32:18
should have made a better
00:32:19
>> No, it's okay. It's okay.
00:32:20
>> Uh but the Nothing Phone 4a got unveiled
00:32:22
I guess is the word because they always
00:32:24
do like several different unveilings.
00:32:25
They showed us the design for the first
00:32:27
time uh and confirmed exactly one spec
00:32:31
because they mentioned the periscope
00:32:33
camera. So for those of you who are on
00:32:35
the edge of your seat about what type of
00:32:36
telephoto lens they would be using,
00:32:38
confirmed it's a periscope camera. It's
00:32:40
a tetra prism lens. Anyway, I think it
00:32:43
looks pretty good. It's a it's
00:32:44
desaturated red.
00:32:46
>> Understatement of the century.
00:32:47
>> You guys seem really into the aesthetics
00:32:49
of this.
00:32:49
>> I think it's really nice looking.
00:32:51
>> It's the best nothing.
00:32:52
>> It's the best nothing really. Okay. So,
00:32:54
I think the 2A was probably their best
00:32:56
so far. I think it looks as good.
00:32:58
>> It's a better version of the 2A.
00:33:00
>> It's like less aggressive than the 2A.
00:33:02
>> Sure. And it's desaturated red.
00:33:03
>> It's got nice Okay. So, the Yeah, it's
00:33:06
got a lot I guess I'll try to describe
00:33:07
it. It's got a lot of the same silver,
00:33:10
white, and red aesthetic, the clear with
00:33:14
the like textures and text underneath.
00:33:16
And then it has the glyphs on the top
00:33:18
right side, which is just a stack of
00:33:20
seven large boxes. I like this part a
00:33:22
lot. I do. the bottommost uh box is red
00:33:26
and then each one of the boxes above it
00:33:28
is white. And so they played with
00:33:29
different animations of things they can
00:33:31
indicate uh whether it's a timer or a
00:33:33
notification where those boxes moving
00:33:35
and stack recording light is the red one
00:33:37
blinking.
00:33:38
>> Cool stuff there.
00:33:39
>> Every phone should have a red blinking
00:33:41
recording light
00:33:42
>> and they what I was thinking watching
00:33:44
this I was like this is important. I
00:33:46
feel like everyone needs this.
00:33:47
>> Even harder agree on glasses. Like every
00:33:50
pair of smart glasses when it's
00:33:51
recording should be blinking red. It's
00:33:54
crazy that it's not. I think why I like
00:33:56
this better than the 2A is
00:33:58
>> the 2A had the two cameras in a little
00:34:00
cutout with a big circle around it where
00:34:02
this is the longer bar more like a pixel
00:34:05
and the like silver lining around it
00:34:08
matches it.
00:34:09
>> It does give me pixel. It's kind of like
00:34:11
nothing X pixel. Yeah,
00:34:13
>> it's got the bean. That's the bean.
00:34:15
>> It's back.
00:34:16
>> It's got that bean.
00:34:17
>> The the bean is back. dual cameras. Uh,
00:34:20
yeah, it looks it looks good. It does
00:34:22
look good.
00:34:22
>> I think it looks really good.
00:34:23
>> The LEDs, like you said, are awesome.
00:34:25
It's a 7 by one vertical to the right
00:34:27
side of the camera bar. Bottom one is
00:34:30
red. Um,
00:34:31
>> there's some pretty cool ways of like
00:34:34
using it. Like if there's a timer on the
00:34:37
Nothing Phone 3 when that had the stupid
00:34:39
little spin the bottle thing, that would
00:34:41
be like sand falling into an hour. That
00:34:43
was cool, though. So, this is just like
00:34:45
slowly it it'll blink at the top and
00:34:47
then slowly fall down to the bottom and
00:34:49
stack up as a timer. Um the camera shut
00:34:52
like if you're doing like a camera
00:34:53
timer, it'll blink and then when the
00:34:56
shutter goes off Yeah. like top and
00:34:58
bottom connect like a shutter.
00:35:00
>> Um
00:35:01
>> it's really awesome. I wish
00:35:03
>> and this is probably not a wish for a
00:35:05
This is you know the A series so the
00:35:07
cheaper one if all of those were
00:35:08
different colors.
00:35:10
>> That'd be great. That would be awesome
00:35:11
because then my like we all want with
00:35:13
notification LEDs. My emails are blue,
00:35:16
my text messages are green, my whatever
00:35:18
like having that this I think you can do
00:35:20
stuff similar but you're learning like
00:35:22
patterns of how the glyph works
00:35:26
>> which is harder.
00:35:26
>> Do you guys think this will be cheaper
00:35:29
cuz it is the a but he also made that
00:35:31
announcement about
00:35:33
>> cheaper. I don't think
00:35:34
>> I don't think it'll be cheaper. He made
00:35:36
that big blog post a few weeks ago about
00:35:38
how all phones are going to be more
00:35:39
expensive this year. So,
00:35:40
>> no. No. I think it'll be cheaper than
00:35:42
like the three
00:35:42
>> the three series
00:35:44
>> because there will be no 4 series, but
00:35:46
that's also in the A series.
00:35:48
>> Well, there won't be four series this
00:35:49
year.
00:35:49
>> This year? Yeah. Sorry.
00:35:51
>> That's true.
00:35:52
>> Yeah.
00:35:52
>> Um,
00:35:53
>> but I mean, he made that big blog post
00:35:55
about how all phones are going to get
00:35:56
more expensive. Um, which has not really
00:35:59
true yet.
00:36:00
>> Was the 3A when it came out?
00:36:02
>> Which one?
00:36:03
>> Bam. You're right.
00:36:04
>> 3A glow-in-the-dark edition.
00:36:07
>> The light or the the 3A? 3A light or the
00:36:09
3A Pro?
00:36:10
>> 3A was 37. What's
00:36:12
>> the 3A Pro?
00:36:12
>> What about the CMF Pro Light
00:36:15
Pro launch price was49?
00:36:18
>> I think it'll be in between those.
00:36:20
>> That's Yeah, that's about right.
00:36:21
>> Yeah.
00:36:22
>> Like a clean 400 425.
00:36:24
>> Do you think the launch of 4 Pro?
00:36:26
>> Yeah,
00:36:27
>> I think if you're not Yeah.
00:36:31
>> I was going to say if there's no 4
00:36:32
series, do you think this is going to be
00:36:33
nothing's only phone launch of the year?
00:36:35
>> For the year. That's what they said. I
00:36:37
feel like unless they do a pro. Yeah,
00:36:39
>> I feel like I can also just based on how
00:36:41
they've done this in the past like kind
00:36:42
of guess the rest of how this phone's
00:36:44
going to go.
00:36:45
>> Like you can see the triple cameras on
00:36:47
the back, right? It's probably going to
00:36:49
be a solid Qualcomm mid-range chip. It's
00:36:53
probably going to be it's probably going
00:36:55
to be 120 Hz OLED. Probably 1080 OLED or
00:36:58
something at the front. It's probably
00:37:00
going to have this nice quirky nothing
00:37:02
OS with a couple new features in there.
00:37:04
Maybe some AI stuff. Maybe not. doesn't
00:37:06
seem like they lean into that much.
00:37:08
>> A new AI thing. Yeah,
00:37:09
>> they haven't leaned super super in like
00:37:11
Samsung, but they do have maybe like
00:37:12
Mind Space or a couple things like that.
00:37:14
I expect that to happen again.
00:37:16
>> Space
00:37:17
>> and then Oh yeah, that and then yeah,
00:37:18
maybe a couple I mean average speakers
00:37:20
probably, probably some fun
00:37:24
uh vibration motor stuff. Uh decent.
00:37:27
Yeah, I don't think anything else too
00:37:28
crazy. Yeah, they do have that like
00:37:30
instant app thing now where you can
00:37:32
describe the app you want and it kind of
00:37:33
makes it for you.
00:37:34
>> Whoa. Right. They have that in the sun,
00:37:36
didn't they do that?
00:37:37
>> What?
00:37:38
>> I do not remember that. But the nothing
00:37:40
lineup couldn't be more confusing in my
00:37:42
eyes. I'm looking at like their lineup
00:37:44
right now and the 3A, the 3a Pro, and
00:37:47
the 3A Lite are three completely
00:37:49
different phones. None of them just look
00:37:51
like an offshoot of one of them. Like if
00:37:53
we're talking about how Samsung, you
00:37:55
know, the Ultra Plus and regular all
00:37:57
look exactly the same. This is the exact
00:38:00
opposite of this. These are three
00:38:01
completely different phones.
00:38:03
>> That's true. Fairly recently, they
00:38:04
released the essential apps, which is
00:38:06
where you can describe an app or widget,
00:38:08
and it will it will make it for you. Um,
00:38:11
apparently, it's pretty limited right
00:38:12
now, and you can have up to six of them,
00:38:15
but I I know that some people had played
00:38:17
with it, and it was like semi-useful for
00:38:19
extremely basic things. Um, but for
00:38:22
anything, you know, more complicated,
00:38:23
it's going to be a few years down the
00:38:24
line. Didn't I was gonna say I could see
00:38:27
them making any app in their little dot
00:38:29
matrix thing because it would be the
00:38:30
easiest thing possible, but didn't they
00:38:32
ditch the dot matrix uh like whole
00:38:35
design vibe
00:38:37
>> from the three?
00:38:38
>> I just thought like nothing in general
00:38:40
is not doing the like
00:38:42
>> I think they're doing
00:38:42
>> dot matrix anymore.
00:38:44
>> I thought they were still doing that in
00:38:45
the software like still have dots and
00:38:47
like boot animations and random things
00:38:50
still have dots in there.
00:38:51
>> Yeah,
00:38:51
>> they is this right? They changed the
00:38:53
logo. There's a cool essential apps
00:38:56
store you can go to now with the
00:38:57
essential apps that people have made
00:38:59
where you can try different ones and it
00:39:01
is kind of interesting and fun and cool.
00:39:03
>> Uh I think once this gets better and
00:39:04
builds out, it'll be more interesting.
00:39:06
But
00:39:06
>> a lot of dots.
00:39:07
>> They'll probably have that. A lot of
00:39:09
dots. A lot of dots. They'll probably
00:39:10
have that on this phone, I'm sure.
00:39:12
>> Gotcha. So they have a 5-second rule
00:39:14
one. So I guess you have to start it
00:39:15
once you drop something. Tells you
00:39:17
whether or not you
00:39:19
This is where
00:39:20
>> Wait, get your phone. I get your phone.
00:39:21
>> Don't pick it up off the floor. start
00:39:22
the timer on your phone,
00:39:23
>> but then it's been like 10 seconds by
00:39:25
the time you do that. Yeah. Anyway, um
00:39:28
yeah, it's pretty simple. Unfortunately,
00:39:30
today is Wednesday. We're recording on a
00:39:32
Wednesday, and tomorrow morning is the
00:39:34
time at which everything about this is
00:39:36
revealed. So,
00:39:37
>> uh no, isn't it next? Isn't it March
00:39:39
5th?
00:39:39
>> It's next week, March. Never mind.
00:39:41
>> The day after the Apple I actually think
00:39:42
they're doing this because they saw,
00:39:44
>> oh, we're a day after Apple stuff and a
00:39:48
week after Samsung stuff. Let's get
00:39:50
something in before Samsung.
00:39:52
>> Nothing mogs Samsung.
00:39:53
>> Oh, no. They But they always do this
00:39:55
long drip drip like new feature, new
00:39:58
spec. They'll next tomorrow they'll tell
00:39:59
us the processor and then the next day
00:40:01
they'll tell us what the camera specs
00:40:03
are and then the next day they'll tell
00:40:04
us the battery size and then the next
00:40:05
day they'll tell us the materials and
00:40:07
they just keep going.
00:40:08
>> This is one of the best pieces of
00:40:09
content I've seen nothing put out. I
00:40:11
thought this was informative. I love the
00:40:14
video was great. I learned what a
00:40:16
tetroprism periscope lens was.
00:40:19
The presenters did really well. I loved
00:40:21
the shot at a pink phone just being
00:40:23
desaturated red. So,
00:40:25
>> yeah, the like there was some funny
00:40:26
stuff and the pink
00:40:28
>> I think we opened this up with the pink
00:40:29
and then didn't talk about it. The pink
00:40:31
looks
00:40:32
>> really good. So good.
00:40:34
>> I want to wait to see it in person.
00:40:36
True. Cuz I have seen pictures and video
00:40:38
of it and it looks amazing. But that
00:40:41
always like it comes out the box and
00:40:42
you're like, "Oh, so that's what looks
00:40:44
like." Yeah, exactly. So, I'm I'm
00:40:45
waiting. But I am excited for it. It
00:40:47
does look gorgeous.
00:40:48
>> Yeah. I got to see it in person.
00:40:50
>> Nothing's mostly design, right? We saw
00:40:52
the majority of what we care about of
00:40:53
this phone.
00:40:54
>> Just need a price tag now.
00:40:55
>> That's Yeah.
00:40:57
>> Yeah.
00:40:57
>> Yeah.
00:40:58
>> The last thing we'll probably find out.
00:40:59
>> Yes.
00:40:59
>> It has G2.
00:41:02
>> No. Absolutely nothing.
00:41:05
>> You think this transparent phone has G2?
00:41:07
>> Yeah. You'd see you see those coils.
00:41:09
Okay. Another quick story that popped up
00:41:11
yesterday which is quite interesting.
00:41:13
Apparently, later this year, there's
00:41:15
going to be a touchscreen OLED MacBook
00:41:18
Pro with a dynamic island and redesigned
00:41:20
Mac OS controls. So, crazy enough, in
00:41:24
one week, Apple is rumored to release
00:41:26
the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros,
00:41:28
which are really nothing more than just
00:41:31
spec upgrades to the current generation
00:41:33
of laptops.
00:41:34
>> Yes. But uh reportedly near the end of
00:41:36
the year, probably around late October,
00:41:38
November, which is when they usually do
00:41:40
this kind of stuff, they're going to
00:41:41
release this whole new generation of
00:41:43
MacBook Pros with M6 Max and M6 Pro. Uh
00:41:48
yeah, it's a big deal because they're
00:41:50
going to be getting rid of this um
00:41:52
notch, I guess, that you could say in
00:41:54
the current design of MacBook Pros.
00:41:55
They're going to be having the dynamic
00:41:56
island similar to the iPhone. what that
00:41:58
says about whether the iPhone is going
00:42:00
to have dynamic island for another few
00:42:01
years as opposed to just, you know,
00:42:03
making it transparent, I'm not sure, but
00:42:06
apparently when you touch different
00:42:08
aspects of Mac OS, it is going to expand
00:42:10
to be more touch friendly. So, it'll be
00:42:12
able to be used with both a keyboard and
00:42:15
your hands kind of like whenever you
00:42:18
want and it will change a little bit for
00:42:19
that reason.
00:42:21
>> Mac OS has been sort of being slowly
00:42:23
restructured to be more like iOS and
00:42:25
iPad OS in general. They look very
00:42:27
similar right now anyway. So, I think
00:42:30
the main things Apple's going to really
00:42:32
have to um kind of focus on are making
00:42:35
sure that it doesn't wobble every time
00:42:36
you tap it and then maybe also making
00:42:39
the screen a little more fingerprint
00:42:40
resistant. Uh Quinn at Snazzy Labs put
00:42:43
out a pretty banger video this morning
00:42:45
about maybe why they're doing all of
00:42:47
this stuff and he was talking about like
00:42:48
the RAM shortage and everything like
00:42:50
that and they're keeping the prices the
00:42:52
same for a lot of these things. So he
00:42:54
was estimating that these the reason
00:42:56
they're launching a M5 Pro and an M5 Max
00:43:00
and the M6 Pro and M6 Max in the same
00:43:02
year is so they can create huge product
00:43:04
line differentiations where they still
00:43:06
sell the M5 Pro and M5 Max computers,
00:43:09
but then the M6 Pro, M6 Max are way more
00:43:11
expensive because they have a way better
00:43:13
display, touchscreen, and they're more
00:43:15
powerful.
00:43:16
>> So that's that would be one reason to
00:43:18
release two lines of laptops in one
00:43:20
year.
00:43:20
>> I see. Yeah.
00:43:22
>> Yeah. I and I I might just be one of
00:43:25
those p people that like kind of is
00:43:26
along for the ride for the better specs
00:43:28
and better display even though I don't
00:43:29
want a touchcreen and I wonder what that
00:43:32
does to the rest of the Mac OS
00:43:33
experience. Hopefully not too much. I'm
00:43:36
kind of cuz like Windows right now you
00:43:37
can either get a touchcreen or a not
00:43:38
touchcreen computer and Windows is the
00:43:40
same.
00:43:40
>> Yeah,
00:43:41
>> it sounds like you're saying there's
00:43:42
maybe going to be some differences to
00:43:45
the touchscreen version of Mac OS
00:43:48
potentially. Well, the rumor is that
00:43:50
it'll be about the same, but then when
00:43:52
you go to touch it, it will sort of like
00:43:54
reformat itself on the fly to be more
00:43:56
touch.
00:43:57
>> Okay. So, I don't if I never touch the
00:43:58
screen, it would just behave exactly the
00:44:00
same maybe as a regular
00:44:01
>> maybe a slightly a slight redesign. I'm
00:44:03
sure we're going to see more of this at
00:44:04
WWDC in uh June. Yeah. So,
00:44:08
>> yeah, I I'm on So, I've said for years
00:44:10
I've never really wanted a touchcreen on
00:44:13
my laptop. I've I've had laptops with a
00:44:15
touchcreen. I rarely ever touch the
00:44:17
screen. Uh, anytime there is the ability
00:44:19
to touch the screen, I'm annoyed by how
00:44:21
much it wobbles and how many
00:44:22
fingerprints stay on the screen and I
00:44:24
wish I never touched the screen.
00:44:25
>> So, I don't know. Were you guys on
00:44:27
touchscreen on the laptop? I'm sort of
00:44:30
in between. I mean, now that we have
00:44:32
these enormous trackpads, it's less of a
00:44:34
problem. Laptop, I don't know if you
00:44:36
guys remember, but laptop trackpads used
00:44:38
to be really small
00:44:39
>> and really annoying to use. And so now
00:44:41
that they're that much bigger, I I
00:44:42
really do think that they should have
00:44:44
just like added Apple Pencil support to
00:44:46
the trackpad and that would have solved
00:44:47
a lot of problems.
00:44:49
>> Um I will say in Photoshop it's really
00:44:52
nice to be able to like pan and zoom
00:44:54
with your fingers and I used that on my
00:44:56
Surface Book 2 back in the day when I
00:44:57
had that a lot. But besides that, I
00:45:01
don't need it. You know, I'm not really
00:45:03
sure why they're doing it. Maybe it's
00:45:04
just because OLEDs at this point are
00:45:06
cheap enough to be able to make them
00:45:09
>> touch capacitive. I don't know.
00:45:11
>> David, such a good point. Like all the
00:45:13
cool parts of the touchscreen experience
00:45:16
which are gestures
00:45:18
>> you can do on the track.
00:45:19
>> It's built in.
00:45:20
>> Yeah.
00:45:20
>> On the trackpad. Also, who is it for?
00:45:23
Like I'll be like, no one if you're
00:45:25
buying a MacBook Pro as your like cuddle
00:45:29
up and watch some Netflix on the couch
00:45:31
computer. Like,
00:45:32
>> no, no, no, no,
00:45:33
>> dude. Chill out.
00:45:33
>> Well, that's
00:45:34
>> you know what I mean? And then it's like
00:45:36
>> it's iPad.
00:45:36
>> Yeah, exactly. So, if you're buying a
00:45:37
MacBook Pro, you're intending to do
00:45:39
something professional with it. I would
00:45:40
assume
00:45:41
>> you don't have to only do professional
00:45:43
things with it, though. If you're
00:45:44
spending that much money, it still
00:45:46
should be able to function as your curl
00:45:47
up and watch a movie. MacBook.
00:45:49
>> It is going to be thinner, too,
00:45:51
apparently, which scares me.
00:45:52
>> Have you all ever sat on the couch like
00:45:54
this? Hold on.
00:45:56
>> Mhm.
00:45:57
>> Oh, yeah. Oh, let's go.
00:45:59
>> Like this.
00:46:01
Do you know how hard like knees up, you
00:46:03
know, on the couch?
00:46:04
>> Andrew's feet are on the chair, knees
00:46:05
up, computer wedged in between screen at
00:46:08
an obuse angle.
00:46:10
>> Look how easy it is to scroll like this.
00:46:11
>> Oh, true.
00:46:12
>> Oh, cuz you're
00:46:12
>> And then you look how hard it is to
00:46:14
scroll like this.
00:46:14
>> That's crazy.
00:46:15
>> That's you. I just got proven wrong.
00:46:19
>> Y'all just need some more comfy
00:46:21
positions.
00:46:21
>> No, no. It's It's because my computer
00:46:23
spends probably like 80% of its on time
00:46:25
in clamshell mode, like in a dock. Oh,
00:46:28
>> the other 20% are between my knees and
00:46:30
my chest. Just like that.
00:46:31
>> So, um
00:46:33
if you're reading Yeah. being able to
00:46:35
just kind of like flick with your thumb
00:46:38
potting like this,
00:46:40
>> my thumb's sometimes right here and I'm
00:46:41
just like scrolling on that. I know I
00:46:43
can scroll too. Listen, I I do it on
00:46:44
both, but when I used my Surface for a
00:46:47
long time and I got really used to just
00:46:49
occasionally like doing this scrolling
00:46:52
or like Yeah, I use and then I come back
00:46:54
and not have it and I'm like, "Oh my
00:46:56
god, I do that way more than I thought."
00:46:57
>> Yeah, scrolling is not a big deal if the
00:46:59
main place you use a laptop is your
00:47:01
desk. I think every time I'm on the
00:47:03
couch, when I'm on an airplane, when I'm
00:47:05
in the backseat of a car, scrolling like
00:47:07
that in a touch screen is so much nicer.
00:47:10
>> Yeah,
00:47:10
>> you don't have to use it. It's
00:47:12
>> Yeah, it's optional.
00:47:13
>> If I see an onscreen keyboard pop up in
00:47:16
my Mac OS experience,
00:47:18
>> that's
00:47:20
straight to jail.
00:47:22
>> Terrible.
00:47:23
>> That's where I draw the line. Yeah, I
00:47:26
don't know. I think Apple needs to
00:47:27
release some sort of display coding that
00:47:29
stops fingerprints.
00:47:30
>> Yeah, fingerprints are going to drive me
00:47:32
insane. We We should come out with like
00:47:33
a special finger like What did Quinn do?
00:47:35
He has like a cloth. He's like the
00:47:36
polishing cloth.
00:47:38
>> Yeah, he just launched
00:47:39
>> like XXL or something. It's like the
00:47:40
bigger version.
00:47:43
>> Polishing cloth market's about to go
00:47:44
crazy.
00:47:45
>> Yeah. Oh, true.
00:47:46
>> About to go crazy.
00:47:47
>> Oh, that's smart of him. That's smart of
00:47:48
him.
00:47:49
>> Corner the market early so when
00:47:51
everyone's touching their computer
00:47:52
screens
00:47:53
>> Yeah. you know where to clean it. Yeah.
00:47:55
>> Um I will say
00:47:58
>> touchscreen with a kid is awful cuz I'll
00:48:01
just be like
00:48:02
>> they don't clean their fingers.
00:48:02
>> Oh well not no it's not even that. It's
00:48:04
just like every time I have my computer
00:48:06
open, Lane like runs over and she wants
00:48:07
to play with it. And it's easy enough to
00:48:09
defend the keyboard with one arm. But
00:48:11
then she just and all my windows are all
00:48:14
over the place now. Lord knows where and
00:48:15
I'm just like, "Oh no."
00:48:17
>> So it happens to Claire more often cuz
00:48:19
she's using a Lenovo. But um
00:48:22
>> yeah, it screws that computer up all the
00:48:24
time.
00:48:24
>> When I was teaching, would happen to me
00:48:26
all the time where a student would be
00:48:27
like, "Can you help me like figure out
00:48:28
this Ableton thing?" And I'd go and I'd
00:48:31
sit down and be like, "Oh, you just
00:48:33
click right here. What have I done?"
00:48:38
>> Yeah. So, I guess we'll see how
00:48:41
expensive that ends up being. Um,
00:48:43
>> I mean, you got me wondering, David,
00:48:44
now, do you think that they'll do
00:48:45
gestures on the screen cuz they already
00:48:48
have them all
00:48:49
>> like being able I mean, yeah. Yeah. Like
00:48:51
an iPad. Yeah. Like an iPad.
00:48:53
>> Like on the iPad, you can like take all
00:48:54
of your fingers, swipe across, and it
00:48:56
moves you to the next app. But not like
00:48:57
the gestures from the trackpad gestures.
00:49:00
They're strikingly similar. Yeah, they
00:49:02
are quite similar.
00:49:02
>> All fingers does. Yeah, it's very
00:49:04
similar.
00:49:04
>> Can you tell he has a Galaxy Tab?
00:49:08
>> It's funny. I So, I have an iPad and a
00:49:10
MacBook Pro and I I very distinctly use
00:49:13
them differently for different things
00:49:15
and I just feel like a touchscreen
00:49:16
laptop would blur that line. This has
00:49:18
always been the argument like why would
00:49:19
you need both? I guess it's for people
00:49:21
who don't have both. It's for people who
00:49:22
don't have an iPad and don't want to buy
00:49:24
two things. Now you have one thing that
00:49:25
does both. I wonder how much of this is
00:49:27
just that the technology is so much
00:49:28
cheaper now.
00:49:29
>> That's what I keep wondering. You know,
00:49:32
>> it's been true for a while. It's just
00:49:34
there's been such a philosophical
00:49:36
argument against a touchscreen MacBook.
00:49:38
Yeah. For
00:49:39
>> Well, there was that famous like Steve
00:49:40
Jobs keynote where he says that your
00:49:42
arm's going to turn into a gorilla arm
00:49:44
if you do that and you're going to like
00:49:45
break your screen or something.
00:49:46
>> He said a lot of things that they've
00:49:47
gone back on though before.
00:49:49
>> They Yeah. Sty Who wants a stylus?
00:49:52
>> Remember that? He hates styluses. 10
00:49:54
perfectly good styluses right here.
00:49:55
>> To be fair, I think that was for phones
00:49:57
mostly.
00:49:58
>> Introducing Apple Pencil.
00:49:59
>> Yeah,
00:49:59
>> I guess to the iPhone, honestly,
00:50:01
>> but yeah, we'll see how this goes. Uh,
00:50:03
yeah. So, that's a rumor mill thing. We
00:50:05
all know, well, we all expect a whole
00:50:06
bunch of new laptops and a bunch of
00:50:08
other stuff that we talked about last
00:50:09
week.
00:50:10
>> Next week.
00:50:10
>> Yeah, we're going to get that cheap
00:50:11
MacBook next week.
00:50:12
>> So, if you haven't already subscribed to
00:50:13
Way Formise, get subscribed. Uh,
00:50:17
>> my uncle said that it is.
00:50:19
>> We'll get all we'll get all that info
00:50:20
very soon for you.
00:50:21
>> Okay.
00:50:22
>> Damn Quinn's. called uh sorry going back
00:50:24
to that cloth pro max. He really went
00:50:27
all out though like packaging itself
00:50:29
really feels like
00:50:31
>> an Apple product.
00:50:32
>> It also has a compatibility list.
00:50:34
>> That's
00:50:34
>> that has a bunch of iPhone stuff and
00:50:36
then says uh there's also dusty Nintendo
00:50:39
Switch.
00:50:40
>> Nice old cinema display CRT TV.
00:50:44
>> Nice.
00:50:45
>> This is awesome.
00:50:45
>> Very cool. All right. Well, um, we're
00:50:48
going to wrap it up with a couple more
00:50:50
stories after the break, but before
00:50:52
that, we have some more questions to ask
00:50:55
us and potentially not get any points
00:50:57
like usual.
00:50:58
>> T for trivia.
00:50:59
>> Oh, I thought you were going to say
00:51:00
timeout.
00:51:01
>> That's what I
00:51:03
>> trivia.
00:51:03
>> Trivia.
00:51:04
>> That's what that means.
00:51:05
>> Samsung,
00:51:07
>> the one, the only.
00:51:10
>> They have a lot of products.
00:51:11
>> Oh boy. Is it a tractor again? like a
00:51:15
>> no this question is about is about two
00:51:17
Samsung products that we uh know and
00:51:20
love specifically the Galaxy Buds and
00:51:22
the Galaxy Z Fold.
00:51:25
>> These are both staples of the Samsung
00:51:28
lineup.
00:51:30
However, which one came out first? And
00:51:34
I'm talking original buds or original
00:51:36
fold.
00:51:38
>> Interesting.
00:51:39
>> Would we call them staples?
00:51:41
>> They're both products that Samsung
00:51:43
sells. staples.
00:51:44
>> The buds are I think
00:51:45
>> buds can probably be in a staple. The
00:51:48
fold is it's starting to get there. It's
00:51:51
a stapler.
00:51:52
>> It's out there.
00:51:53
>> Yeah,
00:51:54
>> the fold. We're on the ZFold 7 and we're
00:51:56
only on the buds four, but that doesn't
00:51:57
mean anything.
00:51:58
>> Yeah,
00:51:58
>> it could be.
00:51:59
>> That doesn't mean nothing.
00:52:00
>> Yeah, we could have had many, many
00:52:01
>> We didn't even talk about the buds.
00:52:03
>> Yeah, by the way, there's new buds.
00:52:05
>> I kind of like
00:52:07
I wrote this question assuming we were
00:52:08
going to talk about the buds and we
00:52:10
didn't talk about
00:52:10
>> the buds are sweet. I have them
00:52:11
actually. I'm going to start testing
00:52:12
them more. They look like uh I mean they
00:52:14
all kind of look like AirPods from the
00:52:15
front, but from the back they redesigned
00:52:16
them. They have new drivers. They have
00:52:18
new features.
00:52:19
>> The brush metal,
00:52:20
>> the brush metal, the flat back. It looks
00:52:21
pretty sweet.
00:52:21
>> It looks like if an AirPod had the clip
00:52:23
of a pen glued to the end of it,
00:52:26
>> which I would I prefer a flat thing when
00:52:28
I'm like controlling like a squeeze like
00:52:30
a round like barrel thing is it's kind
00:52:33
of annoying actually to squeeze.
00:52:34
>> Well, that's why they like chamered it
00:52:35
on the side.
00:52:36
>> Yeah, but like a fully flat thing. I
00:52:37
like that. I like that better. That's
00:52:38
just me anyway. Yeah, we'll be testing
00:52:40
those as well.
00:52:41
>> Anyway. Okay. Yeah. So trivia will be um
00:52:44
at the end. Answers like at the answers
00:52:47
that be right back. The usual at the
00:52:49
end.
00:52:58
All right, welcome back. We got to talk
00:53:01
about weather a little bit more. I was
00:53:03
waiting for someone to say the dad joke,
00:53:04
but whether or not
00:53:05
>> I couldn't think of one fast enough.
00:53:07
There are not.
00:53:08
>> Um, mostly because Okay, so I've talked
00:53:10
about weather in the past on this
00:53:11
podcast. Mostly because I think a couple
00:53:12
weeks ago I was comparing tech YouTube
00:53:14
to weather YouTube and I'm I'm sticking
00:53:16
by that. There are so many parallels
00:53:17
between the two, especially because we
00:53:19
just had another blizzard. I don't know
00:53:20
if you guys are Did the weather stuff
00:53:22
hit your feeds at all? It definitely
00:53:23
hit. Am I the only one?
00:53:25
>> My feed's been filled with other
00:53:27
garbage.
00:53:28
>> Did you didn't go to youtube.com during
00:53:29
the great blizzard of 2026?
00:53:32
>> The one two weeks ago or the one
00:53:33
>> the one like 3 days ago? Uh, I did not
00:53:36
or I did not have it.
00:53:37
>> My feed was full of all the YouTubers
00:53:39
were live at the same time opening up
00:53:41
camera feeds showing the live
00:53:43
precipitation totals in different
00:53:45
places.
00:53:45
>> Were they interviewing people on the
00:53:46
streets?
00:53:47
>> Some of them.
00:53:48
>> Yeah. One of them he had a feed of Ryan
00:53:50
Hall had a guy who was like he had a
00:53:52
feed of someone who was just walking
00:53:54
through New York City during a blizzard
00:53:55
just walking around in different stuff.
00:53:57
It was It was pretty cool.
00:53:58
>> Cool.
00:53:59
>> Um, I like the Blizzard. It was fun.
00:54:00
>> Yeah. Anyway,
00:54:01
>> wait, which Ryan Hall are you talking
00:54:03
about? Ryan Hall, y'all. He's a weather
00:54:05
YouTuber.
00:54:05
>> Ryan Hall, y'all. That's a great name.
00:54:08
>> That's his name. That's a YouTube name.
00:54:10
>> Um, so shout out to Ryan Hall. He's got
00:54:12
a he's got a whole thing. But a lot of
00:54:14
people when I talked about weather apps
00:54:15
on social media like to bring up that
00:54:17
the founders of Dark Sky actually
00:54:19
recently uh came out with a new app
00:54:21
called Acme Weather. And I just want to
00:54:23
point out they emailed me right before
00:54:25
it went live and they were like, "Hey
00:54:27
Marquez, this is uh I'm one of the
00:54:29
founders of uh Dark Sky and we we
00:54:31
actually got acquired by Apple and I
00:54:32
left Apple and we started this new thing
00:54:34
and here's a link to the test flight."
00:54:36
And I was like, "This could be the
00:54:37
greatest fishing email of all time
00:54:40
because it's so specific to what I would
00:54:44
insta click." I clicked it immediately,
00:54:46
downloaded it without even checking.
00:54:49
>> Clicked it so fast.
00:54:50
>> You mean you mean your open quad bot?
00:54:53
on your behalf. Yeah.
00:54:54
>> Yeah, man. I immediately downloaded it.
00:54:56
Uh so it's called Acme Weather and uh it
00:54:59
is a similar in a few ways in some
00:55:02
features, but it also has some some new
00:55:04
aesthetics to it. Uh but it is a new
00:55:06
weather app. It's iOS only right now.
00:55:08
It's paid. Many of the good weather apps
00:55:10
are paid. I'm just going to get it out
00:55:11
the way ahead of time, just so you know.
00:55:13
Um but it is pretty good, I would say.
00:55:16
And I've been playing with it for the
00:55:17
last couple days.
00:55:18
>> I'm just upset that this is the first
00:55:20
time I'm hearing about it.
00:55:21
>> Really? You had access to this before it
00:55:24
even launched.
00:55:24
>> Funny. I Yeah, we didn't. I dropped this
00:55:27
in Slack.
00:55:28
>> Nobody.
00:55:29
>> No, I kind of assumed that we'd all seen
00:55:31
the headlines.
00:55:32
>> Yeah.
00:55:33
>> And just were going to try it.
00:55:35
>> Well, sure. But
00:55:37
>> I can't try it cuz it's iPhone only
00:55:38
right now.
00:55:39
>> Yeah, that's fair. That is fair. Well,
00:55:41
we'll toss a screenshot or two in the
00:55:42
pod for those of you who haven't seen
00:55:44
what it looks like yet, but it kind of
00:55:45
almost looks like Okay, I I put a ven
00:55:48
diagram on Twitter of like there's the
00:55:50
pretty weather apps and then there's the
00:55:52
accurate weather apps.
00:55:54
>> Yeah.
00:55:54
>> The the pretty ones like the default
00:55:57
Google weather app are almost always not
00:56:00
super accurate. And then the ones that
00:56:03
have like their own data and that are
00:56:04
like the the weather.com and ACU other
00:56:07
ones are really good information but are
00:56:10
like horrible apps. And a lot of people
00:56:13
at that pointed out that carrot weather
00:56:16
which is the one I use is kind of right
00:56:18
in the middle because you choose what
00:56:19
source you have and it looks really
00:56:21
good. Acme weather I think also looks
00:56:23
like kind of like the Google weather
00:56:25
app. It's pretty good looking, but it
00:56:28
has a dark sky timeline underneath. And
00:56:29
it has a pretty good uh radar feature uh
00:56:33
or map feature, which lets you look at
00:56:35
radar, but also things like current
00:56:37
temperature, wind maps, and uh
00:56:40
accumulation totals for predict storms.
00:56:43
>> Totals, predict,
00:56:45
>> I was just looking uh at this upcoming
00:56:47
storm we're expecting in the next couple
00:56:48
days.
00:56:49
>> And uh yeah, we're supposed to get some
00:56:51
more when?
00:56:52
>> This weekend,
00:56:54
>> Sunday, Monday. So, I never check
00:56:57
weather. It's one of my many faults.
00:56:59
>> I always learn about upcoming storms in
00:57:02
this room when we sit down and Marquez
00:57:04
is like, "Are you ready for this storm?"
00:57:06
And I'm like, "What are you talking
00:57:07
about?" I think we need to enact a uh an
00:57:10
app time limit on weather apps on
00:57:12
Marquez's phone because it's getting to
00:57:14
be a lot this weekend. I was like,
00:57:16
"Sunday." I'm like, "I really hope it
00:57:18
doesn't snow that much." Oh, hey
00:57:20
everyone. It's like it's pretty warm
00:57:21
outside. There's probably not going to
00:57:22
be any weather. He's like, "Wait till
00:57:23
the low pressure system comes in." And I
00:57:24
was like, Mar,
00:57:27
>> don't worry. It can't it will get worse.
00:57:30
>> That's my bad cuz it was like during the
00:57:31
day and you guys were all like, "There's
00:57:32
not that much snow." I was like, "Don't
00:57:34
we all know it's a nighttime storm?" But
00:57:36
nobody knew. So, I just sprinkled some
00:57:38
information.
00:57:39
>> Google it as fast as possible.
00:57:40
>> Unrelated, but related. Your ven diagram
00:57:42
that you posted.
00:57:43
>> Yeah.
00:57:44
>> I was curious. How did you make that?
00:57:46
>> I Googled ven diagram creator and I
00:57:49
opened a Canva template and I made it in
00:57:51
Canva. No, I was convinced you were
00:57:53
going to say Final Cut Pro, but that's
00:57:56
>> that's actually probably
00:57:58
>> two circles on his
00:57:59
>> It should have been faster if I It would
00:58:00
have been faster if I didn't cut.
00:58:02
>> Uh Acne says that it is focused on
00:58:04
hyperlocal hyper accurate forecasting
00:58:05
combined with transparency about
00:58:07
forecast uncertainty, which is nice. So,
00:58:10
so hyper local weather is is neat
00:58:12
because kind of like ways is crowd
00:58:14
sourced where if you if something
00:58:15
happens and someone reports it in the
00:58:18
app, if it has enough users, that's like
00:58:20
really useful information. So, some
00:58:22
truck dropped something on the road and
00:58:24
you are literally 60 seconds behind that
00:58:26
truck, you'll get a notification that
00:58:27
says object on road ahead because
00:58:29
somebody reported it. Similar thing with
00:58:31
weather. So, you'll literally like Dark
00:58:34
Sky did this really well. you would get
00:58:35
a notification that says like rain
00:58:37
starting in 3 minutes and 3 minutes
00:58:40
later the front would pass and it would
00:58:42
start raining and it feels like kind of
00:58:43
this this magic moment. Maybe I'm just a
00:58:46
little
00:58:47
>> into weather or whatever but like I
00:58:49
thought that was pretty cool that uh
00:58:51
they're also bringing that feature. So
00:58:52
they have a like a report feature
00:58:55
>> uh where you can report like yeah uh it
00:58:58
just started raining and
00:58:59
>> a bomb cyclone.
00:59:00
>> Well, it'll probably be like a smaller
00:59:02
thing like frost or ice or whatever.
00:59:04
community. What's happening right now?
00:59:06
You hit lightning and then everybody
00:59:07
knows there's lightning nearby.
00:59:09
>> You create lightning.
00:59:11
>> I kind of assume that multiple people
00:59:13
need to report it so that it's not like
00:59:15
one person saying
00:59:16
>> I don't know how many people are
00:59:17
reporting things.
00:59:18
>> Uh similar to ways
00:59:19
>> just Marquez is the number one on the
00:59:21
leaderboards right now. Just
00:59:23
>> I mean I do use the ways reports. I
00:59:24
would say that it would be uh awesome if
00:59:27
a lot of people use this app and
00:59:28
reported it and it got good because
00:59:29
hyper local weather is sweet. Yeah, it
00:59:31
says it has an alternative possible
00:59:34
futures feature because that they don't
00:59:36
want to assume that the weather is going
00:59:38
to be perfectly accurate every time. So,
00:59:40
it shows it shows like possible
00:59:42
different variations. It's got the black
00:59:44
line which is what they think is going
00:59:45
to happen and it's got these gray lines
00:59:47
which is what might happen.
00:59:49
>> Multiverse confirmed.
00:59:50
>> Yeah.
00:59:51
>> Yeah. They're just plugged into all the
00:59:53
different versions of uh Carne New
00:59:55
Jersey. So,
00:59:55
>> I just want to throw it out there. Their
00:59:57
logo is really bad
00:59:59
>> and I would love if somebody redid it.
01:00:03
>> It's like the umbrella from Acme Looney
01:00:06
Tunes.
01:00:07
>> That blue gradient. It looks bad.
01:00:09
>> What?
01:00:10
>> Well, it's an umbrella.
01:00:11
>> Wait, what?
01:00:12
>> The the umbrella's
01:00:14
>> Oh, is the icon different than the
01:00:16
>> It's like the wy coyote.
01:00:17
>> The blue the blue.
01:00:18
>> Yeah, it's like a blue gradient on the
01:00:20
>> We were We were looking at just like the
01:00:21
black and white logo on the website.
01:00:23
>> Oh, no. It's It's not my favorite. I
01:00:24
will I will say that. It's not great.
01:00:26
Definitely my favorite. Um, but it's
01:00:29
cool.
01:00:29
>> Yeah,
01:00:29
>> it kind of looks like if Claude and the
01:00:31
New York Times made an app together
01:00:33
>> because Andrew said it was a New York
01:00:34
Times looking app and it has like the
01:00:36
color palette.
01:00:37
>> Everyone needs to stop using the Chabani
01:00:39
font. I don't know what font it is.
01:00:42
>> But like look up Chobani Yogurt like
01:00:45
like the font.
01:00:47
Knock it off.
01:00:48
>> New York Times loves Chabbani.
01:00:50
>> I kind of see what you mean.
01:00:52
>> No, it's it's everywhere. It's like all
01:00:53
the millennial ass DTC companies.
01:00:56
>> I think it's the off-white background
01:00:57
that makes it
01:00:59
>> like the Chabani packaging. All right.
01:01:02
Well,
01:01:02
>> we just make our own weather station so
01:01:04
we can just have hyper local weather for
01:01:06
the
01:01:07
>> That's actually a thing you can do.
01:01:09
>> So, wait, that was a question I kind of
01:01:10
had.
01:01:10
>> That's what I'm saying.
01:01:11
>> I can't tell if this is a real thing or
01:01:13
I'm remembering it incorrectly. So maybe
01:01:15
one of you heard of it or an audience
01:01:16
member has, but I swear my cousin told
01:01:18
me about this
01:01:19
>> thing that he bought that he puts up on
01:01:22
his garage and a lot of people in the
01:01:24
area buy have them and are connected
01:01:26
together and it's like wind and
01:01:28
barometer and stuff and it it takes down
01:01:30
what's happening outside.
01:01:31
>> This is a whole localized weather.
01:01:33
>> Do you have this? No.
01:01:34
>> How do you not have this weather boy?
01:01:36
>> I should I should I should just put one
01:01:38
up. Yes. I and when you have a weather
01:01:40
app or like even like some people have
01:01:41
like a dedicated display where it's like
01:01:44
you can plug into the data or you can
01:01:45
plug into the data from your own weather
01:01:47
station. So instead of getting a local
01:01:49
report from the Newark weather station
01:01:51
about like what pressure and temperature
01:01:52
and all that are, you'll take it from
01:01:54
your actual weather station.
01:01:56
>> So you'll get your actual location.
01:01:58
>> You can have MQTT weather.
01:01:59
>> For every bit of data you upload to the
01:02:01
weather network, it mines part of the
01:02:03
hash of a crypto cryptocurrency.
01:02:05
>> Weathercoin.
01:02:07
>> Weathercoin. Well, no. Then then it
01:02:08
would actually have some utility.
01:02:12
>> Let's do one.
01:02:13
>> Yeah, we should.
01:02:13
>> Yeah.
01:02:14
>> How much are they?
01:02:15
>> What do I search?
01:02:17
>> Andrew, remember when I was like, I need
01:02:19
to find this weather thing.
01:02:21
>> It's sort of similar.
01:02:22
>> No, it is that. It's just a thing you
01:02:23
put on your roof and then it tells you
01:02:25
the weather.
01:02:25
>> I thought yours was just the display. I
01:02:27
didn't realize it was the roof thing.
01:02:28
Couple hundred bucks.
01:02:29
>> You can only get the display with the
01:02:31
roof thing. You cannot get a display
01:02:33
that just 3Gs or whatever. I mean, now
01:02:35
you can now that terminal exists. Okay.
01:02:37
>> But right.
01:02:38
>> Yeah. I don't know. My cousin seemed
01:02:40
everyone I've ever heard talk about this
01:02:41
seems super popular.
01:02:42
>> No. If you go on Amazon and just type in
01:02:43
weather station, they're made by They're
01:02:45
like 30 bucks and everybody makes them.
01:02:47
And I'm sure they're all I think it's
01:02:49
dumb.
01:02:50
>> Tell us a good one. I want one.
01:02:52
>> They It's just like what's the point of
01:02:54
knowing what the weather is where you
01:02:56
are? I need to know what it's going to
01:02:58
be. I can go I can go outside and can't
01:03:02
you link up with other people and then
01:03:03
if you get enough people in a localized
01:03:06
region
01:03:07
>> how does that tell you what it's going
01:03:08
to be that just tells you
01:03:08
>> because then when it's coming from the
01:03:10
the west my homies to the west are
01:03:13
information my weather homies so here's
01:03:15
the other thing about weather is there's
01:03:17
all these different models that are that
01:03:19
are aggregated and computed by different
01:03:21
computers and regions or whatever. So
01:03:23
those are based on the weather stations
01:03:25
that they use. So then if you have your
01:03:27
own weather station that's maybe a
01:03:29
little like like we're you know Newark
01:03:31
is close by but we were 50 mi away from
01:03:33
Newark or something then you can adjust
01:03:34
yours based on how far you are from the
01:03:38
weather station that you're getting your
01:03:40
information from kind of interesting.
01:03:42
>> I think you should buy me one of these
01:03:45
because
01:03:46
>> I'm on the west part of New New Jersey
01:03:48
and you're on the east part of New
01:03:49
Jersey. So it's only beneficial for you
01:03:51
if you get me one.
01:03:52
>> New Jersey is a pencil ass state. You're
01:03:54
like 3 minutes away from me. No, but the
01:03:56
coast to my
01:03:58
>> distance from distance from the coast is
01:03:59
crazy. You got half as much snow as we
01:04:01
did.
01:04:02
>> I know. Usually I get more snow than you
01:04:04
guys, dude. Both times this time I've
01:04:06
gotten significantly.
01:04:07
>> This was a coastal storm that dropped 22
01:04:09
in here and 8 in there. Like that's
01:04:13
>> that's because the weather stations. You
01:04:15
know, I know neither of you are in the
01:04:17
dating world right now, but you would be
01:04:19
killing it talking about the weather on
01:04:20
your dates. You'd be like
01:04:23
>> the weather. Oh, let me tell you, this
01:04:26
would not be a dull conversation.
01:04:29
>> Um, we got to move on, guys. This is
01:04:31
insane.
01:04:32
>> I feel it. I just want to shout out
01:04:34
weather committee. Uh,
01:04:35
>> I appreciate it.
01:04:36
>> Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:37
>> Just saying. We could start one,
01:04:38
Marquez.
01:04:39
>> I I'm not against it. I'm I'm going to
01:04:40
start googling weather stations.
01:04:41
>> I'll use the company card.
01:04:44
>> All right. Well, we Yeah.
01:04:48
>> Let's Let's sum up the story. We'll
01:04:49
alternate words.
01:04:50
>> Okay. Individual words.
01:04:52
>> Yeah.
01:04:52
>> Okay. Oh god.
01:04:54
>> All right, here we go. Ready?
01:04:55
>> Yeah.
01:04:55
>> Do I start?
01:04:56
>> Yeah, you can start.
01:04:56
>> Okay. Discord
01:04:58
>> is not
01:04:59
>> gonna
01:05:01
>> scan
01:05:02
>> your
01:05:02
>> face
01:05:04
>> or
01:05:05
>> other
01:05:06
>> children's
01:05:08
>> faces.
01:05:09
>> Yeah.
01:05:09
>> Until
01:05:11
later.
01:05:12
>> Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:15
>> Uh almost good news.
01:05:16
>> If you guys Well, yeah. If you guys
01:05:19
remember our Super Bowl episode, uh,
01:05:22
technically true. It was after the Super
01:05:24
Bowl. Uh, Discord gotten a lot of heat
01:05:26
because they decided that they were
01:05:28
going to do age verification via
01:05:30
scanning your face if you were a child
01:05:32
if it if their algorithms decided that
01:05:35
you were probably a kid using various
01:05:37
different factors. One of the ways they
01:05:38
were going to verify that you were not a
01:05:39
kid actually was to scan your face. Um,
01:05:42
they got a ton of push back on that. A
01:05:44
lot of people went back to the good old
01:05:46
team speak back from you know the 1900s
01:05:50
>> and um
01:05:52
>> they said oopsie that was a bad idea. So
01:05:55
they are now delaying the age
01:05:56
verification functionality until the
01:05:59
second half of 2026 before it rolls out
01:06:02
verification. It's going to add more
01:06:03
ways to verify like adding a credit card
01:06:05
to your account because that basically
01:06:07
just tells you them how old you are etc.
01:06:10
It will also include documentation for
01:06:12
every verification vendor that they've
01:06:14
used. It will add a a spoiler channels
01:06:16
option and publish a technical blog
01:06:18
explaining how all of their age
01:06:19
verification systems work. So, they are
01:06:22
trying really hard to win back the trust
01:06:23
of people of the kids um and the adults
01:06:27
because nobody wants their face faces
01:06:29
scanned especially since there uh they
01:06:32
had like a data breach before this in
01:06:34
which everyone's data was like leaked
01:06:35
and it was not good. So,
01:06:36
>> worst nightmare. Uh, now we can do
01:06:38
trivia.
01:06:44
>> Trivia, dude. Quick update on the score.
01:06:47
>> My chair is so loud that you got to do
01:06:49
it again.
01:06:50
>> I'll keep it. Now you know what we deal
01:06:52
with, people. Uh, Marquez with 14.
01:06:55
>> Yeah,
01:06:56
>> Andrew with 17. David with 16.
01:06:59
>> That's the same as last week.
01:07:00
>> Same as the past four week before and
01:07:02
the week before and the week before.
01:07:03
>> Can you guys please let me update the
01:07:05
graphic this week? All right.
01:07:07
So, were you guys paying attention?
01:07:10
Towards the end of the live event, they
01:07:12
showed off an expert RAW mode that
01:07:13
ensures efficient and highquality images
01:07:16
of underwater coral and fish and stuff
01:07:18
when you're swimming or diving in the
01:07:20
ocean. What is it called?
01:07:22
>> Realistically, Samsung when you're at
01:07:24
the aquarium. Yeah,
01:07:26
>> that's mostly what
01:07:27
>> or the one time you go snorkeling and
01:07:29
you're like, isn't this thing
01:07:29
waterproof?
01:07:30
>> And then you
01:07:31
>> and then it's sea salt.
01:07:33
>> Was this water just the example they
01:07:35
used? It's not specifically for water.
01:07:38
>> I think it is for water.
01:07:39
>> It's a mode for being underwater.
01:07:41
>> Yeah, it's not
01:07:42
>> Well, things that are underwater.
01:07:45
>> Exactly.
01:07:45
>> So, like a fish tank.
01:07:46
>> It'll like pump up the vibrancy and
01:07:48
stuff.
01:07:49
>> All right. Flip them and read. What do
01:07:50
you got?
01:07:53
>> We all combined our
01:07:54
>> Okay, Marquez, what did you say?
01:07:56
>> I wrote ocean pro.
01:07:59
>> We only wrote three.
01:08:00
>> Oh, wow. We We have the entire
01:08:02
combinatoric of both of these words.
01:08:04
Just everyone say what they wrote one at
01:08:06
a time.
01:08:07
>> Oh, I wrote one at the same time.
01:08:08
>> I'll go first. I wrote ocean pro.
01:08:11
>> Dang it.
01:08:12
>> I wrote pro mode.
01:08:13
>> I wrote ocean mode.
01:08:15
>> Correct.
01:08:16
>> Ocean mode. It is.
01:08:17
>> Ocean mode.
01:08:21
>> Ocean mode by one.
01:08:24
>> Oh, that's tied for the lead.
01:08:26
>> Yeah.
01:08:27
>> All right. Well, this next one
01:08:28
>> I was paying attention.
01:08:29
>> 50-50 shot.
01:08:31
>> Okay. Fitty. Unless you somehow get it
01:08:33
wrong.
01:08:35
>> Well, isn't
01:08:36
>> that's part of the 50/50.
01:08:37
>> Yeah, that's one of the 50s, isn't it?
01:08:42
>> That's not how that works.
01:08:43
>> Big M.
01:08:45
>> That's why we're podcasters
01:08:47
>> and not not mathematicians.
01:08:50
>> Never thought of it like that.
01:08:53
>> It turns out I've just bodied every
01:08:55
50/50 shot I've ever had. I didn't know
01:08:57
losing it was an option.
01:08:58
>> Oh, shoot. I like that.
01:08:59
>> Guys, what came first?
01:09:02
the Samsung Galaxy Zfold or the Gam
01:09:06
>> the Samsung Galaxy
01:09:09
or the Samsung Galaxy Buds.
01:09:13
There's no letter with the buds, right?
01:09:15
It's not like the P buds
01:09:17
>> cuz they have the the number after
01:09:19
>> Galaxy Buds number.
01:09:20
>> There's a Galaxy, but there's numbers
01:09:21
after the fold, too. And there's a
01:09:23
letter there. It's the Zfold five.
01:09:25
>> That's just cuz they have so many
01:09:27
phones.
01:09:28
They got to separate them with letters.
01:09:30
>> Oh, wait. I thought the buds did have a
01:09:31
number.
01:09:32
>> No, they do have a number. They don't
01:09:33
have a letter.
01:09:33
>> They don't have a letter.
01:09:34
>> It's not like the Samsung Galaxy J buds.
01:09:38
>> But imagine Z.
01:09:40
>> Well, it's actually the Samsung Buds.
01:09:44
>> Wow.
01:09:45
>> All right.
01:09:46
>> Okay,
01:09:47
>> guys. Who would like to read their
01:09:49
answer? Did you guys all write the same
01:09:50
thing?
01:09:51
>> No.
01:09:51
>> Who Who has the different thing?
01:09:53
>> It would be really sad.
01:09:54
>> I really like the font that has
01:09:56
different thing.
01:09:56
>> Thank I don't know why your writing
01:09:58
looks different in that, but like I'd
01:09:59
buy that as a font, not going to lie.
01:10:01
>> Impact font.
01:10:03
>> So, I said the buds came first.
01:10:06
>> So, sorry, Mark has
01:10:08
>> I know the reason.
01:10:09
>> I'm so sorry.
01:10:10
>> Can I say the reason?
01:10:11
>> You can say the reason.
01:10:11
>> It's cuz they didn't used to be called
01:10:12
the Galaxy Buds.
01:10:13
>> That was my guess also.
01:10:15
>> Yeah.
01:10:15
>> Wait, what?
01:10:15
>> The Samsung earbuds used to be called
01:10:17
like something else.
01:10:19
>> What do they used to be called?
01:10:19
>> Do you remember, Adam?
01:10:21
>> You were the sound guy.
01:10:22
>> I do not remember.
01:10:23
>> They were called
01:10:26
something else. I picked this because it
01:10:27
felt like the budge is the obvious
01:10:29
answer.
01:10:30
>> I know the watches used to be called
01:10:32
Gear.
01:10:33
>> Gear. Gear. Galaxy Gear Live or
01:10:35
something. Galaxy Gear. Ear buds. Galaxy
01:10:38
Gear butts.
01:10:39
>> As far as I'm aware,
01:10:41
>> they've always been Galaxy Buds. That's
01:10:42
the beginning.
01:10:43
>> Gear Icon X.
01:10:44
>> Oh, yes. That's what it was.
01:10:46
>> Yeah.
01:10:47
>> The Icon X.
01:10:48
>> The Fold came out on February 20th,
01:10:51
2019.
01:10:52
>> I remember that. The Galaxy Buds came
01:10:54
out on March 8th, 2019. Oh,
01:10:56
>> but the Galaxy Gear Icon X
01:10:58
>> Well, that wasn't what I was asking
01:10:59
about there.
01:11:02
>> Yeah, it's fine. I didn't want any
01:11:03
points anyway.
01:11:04
>> Worked out for you then.
01:11:05
>> Damn.
01:11:05
>> Yeah.
01:11:06
>> Nailed it.
01:11:08
>> The race is on. We We feel like we need
01:11:11
to do a a Trudy extravaganza soon.
01:11:14
>> We really do.
01:11:15
>> The points aren't that high, though.
01:11:16
It's just been a long time.
01:11:17
>> Yeah, because your questions are really
01:11:19
really hard.
01:11:20
>> Are they?
01:11:20
>> Yes. We never get points anymore.
01:11:22
>> Honestly, the fact that Marquez got the
01:11:23
excavator one.
01:11:25
>> Yeah, that was crazy.
01:11:25
>> Probably we should have just ended my
01:11:28
>> I think he deserved to win.
01:11:29
>> That's true. Yeah,
01:11:30
>> I think that's my only point.
01:11:31
>> At this point, we've written hundreds of
01:11:32
trivia questions. Like there's
01:11:34
>> I'm doing the best I can.
01:11:36

01:11:52
>> Yeah. Yeah. You can just hype channels
01:11:53
with over 500.
01:11:54
>> They were like, "This isn't going to
01:11:55
work at all. No one under 500 is getting
01:11:57
over 500."
