either join you but with Hoda and what sort Hoda and Kathie Lee yeah what else we're not that Joe okay hello to get to the very beginning you guys have heard of the ipad 3 right we've talked about it a lot o thing it's called the ipad 3 and I apologize for ipad saturation but at this point and we were going to give it a break arrest except for that the internet and the world and fate doesn't want to give it a rest because it seems that there has now been consensus among the Internet community that the ipad 3 is going to come out in March let's trace that like we talked about ipad 3 rumors all the time but in the last week it's been every min of the day yeah every single one of them is like aha we agree it's march on how we greet smart every publication that's talking about it so that seems like it's a pretty big deal oh here comes the first champagne burp sorry it just implies that there's gonna be many watch out thank God you guys are listening in ok but so if we trace this rumor about on the ipad 3 coming out in March forgive me it goes to all things digital is the latest and most high-profile person to kind of put their weight behind this rumor and what they said is that the ipad 3 will be coming out indeed in March citing anonymous sources anonymous sources drink up your champagne or your metaphorical champagne and the details are a little bit scant that this source revealed but they insist that the ipad the next generation ipad will have a better chip so presumably the a6 which is what we've been saying all along um although there had been some speculation that the a6 wouldn't be ready until June so I don't know about that and improved graphics of some sort and bumped up resolution now the all things digital rumor did not specify whether bumped up resolution was going to take it all the way to the level of resolution resolution that was the retina display the return of DS dead exactly um and everybody talks about on the show before there have been some talks about how difficult it is for Apple to kind of figure out the technology of making an a Retina display that would be big enough to be on the iPad and they've had some manufacturing setbacks and they've been like speeding up processing at in China to try to figure it out and going back and forth with which way they were going to do their LEDs is that because they don't want it to be like if they put this technology in there they don't want it to be it'll be too thick is that the bish it'll be too thick and in it thicker I guess which is already tooth and it's about the density of pixels and so in a smaller place it's easier but once you create so much more space you have to get all of these things into what bigger screen and then with the way that the LEDs in the background are worked out it there just wasn't a precedent for it gotcha um so there's the first rumor now I'm going to just give like by rumors about ipad 3 right now because there's been so many of them uh the next one is playing off of this March release date except for then it's totally deflating everybody's bubble bursting everyone's joy which I love this is my favorite I mean and this one makes the most sense honestly um and that comes from at the New York Times the old gray lady my absolute favourite newspaper of all time and very reputable and the New York Times sites yes an anonymous source but not just anyone not just a friend of a friend of a friend of whoever they met at a cocktail party but rather an anonymous Apple employee they claim so maybe he's drink yeah I mean who an anonymous in the blog post they say oh and the Apple employee would like to remain anonymous because as you know Apple frowns upon leaks obvious understatement your diet they literally get fired and not open to me to get fired but shunned yeah to a different planet like they get yeah they're like shipped off to Siberia to work on that gulag that's the factory um anyways so the New York Times says yes it does this anonymous employee does indicate that it's going to come out in March however this anonymous employee suggests that the ipad that is in production and that's wandering that's floating around the halls of Apple and that people have seen looks exactly like the ipad 2 and it's not going to have a large redesign but so now what they say it will have are all the things that we wanted to have which is this person says yes a Retina display a better battery which already has a pretty good battery so yes the span a long time even on my first generation ipad is like I leave it on for weeks and weeks and weeks on it never die do I have one that I use for work to help program or iPad app and I literally have not because I barely ever use it and it's just here in the office I haven't charged it in two weeks and you leave it on I bring it on yeah it's good because the screens never used so it never loses battery but so this anonymous employee says it will have a Retina display better battery and improved camera thank God if that camera such a piece of crap by whoever me I mean really the facetime que ya 5 semaines I don't I'm not gonna go to a concert and be that douchebag who's holding up my iPad taking a picture with the back camera ever like yeah nobody that's like holding up your lappy only time that I kind of thought it was a little bit awesome but it was kind of awesomely horrible was well also this whole thing was a horrible incident but there was the time when the protesters in Oakland got pepper sprayed in the face and in the video of it there was a man holding up now and he was using that camera yeah me see how dekaney exactly at that moment it wasn't intended for that purpose but he got he caught that whole scene right cuz of his eye ninety-nine percent is he holding up and I exactly really protesters you a ninety-nine percent let me take out my five hundred dollar device and just throw it I mean not to get completely sidetracked but that also is a commentary about the state of america because we are the ninety-nine percent and yet we put an ipad on our credit card because i want it exactly on our meetings very true part of the credit card is the ninety-nine percent exactly i'm only way of life exactly yeah looking as someone who has debt I'm big debts over here so sorry and whatever my dad let's all turn for our own good God Stephens like my dad but I don't we have a lot of credit card yeah I have a lot of help oh good boy makes me feel so much better because every time I look at my credit card statement I'm like oh man I'm the only one who has this much debt but then all my friends do too so we're all just I know but then we can't we shouldn't enable each other way but we also should be smarter we also shouldn't hate each other our sake don't hate ourselves exactly each other like have intense incessant stressed nightmares about it like okay anyways so it'll have a Retina Display better battery and improved camera it doesn't actually say anything this rumor does not say anything about the a6 chip which is possibly an indication that they would save it for the ipad 3 because this rumor is suggesting that the new ipad that's coming out of march is the ipad 2 s which would make so happy because I because I feel like that is how that is because then I feel like I'm inside of apples mind because I know them and i feel like i said this like five shows ago or whatever that that is how they're going to get more people to do it do the test track and the normal track and so people who are have an ipad one and want to upgrade real fast are going to get a to ask yeah and then the people who have an ipad 2 are going to wait for the three and then we'll and a couple who don't have earlier and then what anyway don't have any of the 2s exactly so many friends who've been asking me who don't have a tablet at all who are like um i finally decided that i want an ipad i finally decided that i want a tablet should i wait for the ipad 3 and I don't know I mean I round up the rumors but I don't actually know what it's coming out I think I have a gut instinct about it but it's not it's not fact and so I've been saying to them like I don't know if you want it just get the ipad 2 because it's good enough it's wonderful that's funny because um david carr know he had a story recently that we did the exact opposite doc opposition said that his friend just bought an ipad tune he's like what are you doing like it announcement is literally in two weeks but i might put to my own credit i will say that that story came out once the the March rumor was already sorted it's true so like in january / like you could still be coming out in September I was saying like if you need it don't wait till sep tember just get it but this makes way more sense look at the to us though they'll run out and get it in droves so that seems like it would be disappointing and also likely oh but I mean that the iphone 4s is not a bad no and once everyone got over themselves and stopped complaining about how it wasn't called the iphone 5 right and everyone was happy about it i mean yeah okay yeah i don't know i choked on my chimney she's crying okay so sad about life and she was that and in love with apple's iphone or ipad for us idea um yeah so I but that's true if they would have called the iphone for us the iphone 5 it would have been like Harold is like the greatest invention of all time and I've mentioned this once before but when I have a friend who works on iphone team at apple and who shall remain anonymous oh and he told me that when they were working on it they really thought they were working on iphone 5 and it wasn't ya later so maybe all these people think they're working on the ipad 3 and then there ya it was like the marketing team who said to them actually that this is gonna be called iphone 4s and they who had developed it were like really ok yeah whatever what are they can yeah they're like it's still awesome zillion-dollar okay and I'm gonna run through this really fast because we're running out of time and I'm totally bogarting at all the next rumor it in regards this comes from Macotakara our favorite favorito and it is an image potentially of what they say is the new Retina display if you look at that image if we can pull it up it is uh that's it yeah what is that I I have no idea I cannot decipher that flicker you know what I saw that picture too and I was like is that New York at night yeah it was totally and desirable I mean clearly like that's a little bit of birds what is the hack otakar says that the bottom of that is the motherboard and it looks like the motherboard that's in the ipad 2 that's right next to the retina display I don't know I can't speak to it but there it is the next report um comes from ventureBeat reporting that I more which is another of one of the Apple focused blogs on the internet that is cluttering up the inner tubes and that I'm ever heard of the editor-in-chief of which says that he has a reliable source who is anonymous that claims that the exact release date of the ipad 3 will be march seven I mom so I'm totally in the market for an ipad 3 and if they put out a 2 s I'm not gonna get it I swear to God see you're well one of the one your scent cuz do you already have an ipad 2 no I don't have any ipad at all oh so you anything you might as well wait for their you don't whisper through my hairy I got a tweet from somebody I forget what that person's name is sorry but they said that it's coming out March 7th because it's going to be a 9.7 it like it's something with the seven like that's where they got the seven in the march seven was because seven be a seven-inch seven-inch or nine point seven or some point whatever and then I said maybe it'll be a 3.7 and it's actually going to be an ipod everybody would and then everyone's head would explode okay then the two other rumors up I really just want to mention really quickly is that there's some supplier chain chatter that points to a smaller 8 inch iPad that's one rumor that's happening that also came out today and another one is that the ipad could have 4g man it better that is a big deal um first of all it would mean it's on verizon probably oh no verizon in the rumor is verizon and AT&T would sell a 4g ipad um who does this come from an anonymous source of course another person briefed on the matter who would be briefed on the matter come on um I actually think this is likely because 4G adoption is picking up there was a lot more 4g spectrum out there and the current iPad has 3g so if they can get on 4G why wouldn't it be great I don't know how many people buy the 3g ipad compared with the Wi-Fi ipad i mean like i wonder if that's such a big market because or the 4g I numbers no numbers on that because I feel like when we recommend buying the ipad to get the Wi-Fi one because usually use it you don't use it necessarily on the bus or I guess you do me you see some people using someone's and I read on it on the bus whatever whatever but like there's a very small segment of the population that is using it outside of the home or outside of a coffee shop or someplace that has Wi-Fi anyway even Bart even our public transportation here has Wi-Fi now yeah like the needing to buy a separate contract for it forth IG seems I also I wonder how many people are actually using none of that I also think that like if you have the ipad as you're saying most people who have it also have a smartphone which has internet connection so if you need while you're on the bus to look something up or whatever and your ipad can't connect even though it can play movies play songs and you can read books and all that stuff you can just do it on your smartphone although I have to say that like even this morning I was running late and I wanted to continue doing work and I needed to get into our like in-house cnet tools and I was wishing that on the bus my ipad would connect even though that sort of been so embarrassed yeah to sit on the public muni with my ipad i would have been mortified and then I would've been like its work issued that's true and so now some people in the chat room are saying that they don't think that they will launch a 4g ipad before an iphone that house porgy that's very interesting and then whatever the iphone is just on a different release schedule right that's true and then then another person said that um GPS would be nice to happen that you can it would be fat though that is what use 3g yeah because I don't think I mean the mini go outside you don't have anywhere hello anyway okay there's also somebody in the chat room called rumor doesn't have it just now thanks a lot remember wasn't a vase i also had Corey Feldman in the chat room so whatever they even you my so hot okay let's move on to rumor number two because we're running so late I remember number two also has to do with Apple of course citing anonymous sources drink drink drink I'm going to keep talking a 9to5 mac says the apples and talks with Sam's Club which is like Costco I think but it's always been our exams that I've never seen a sams color and that you have that in the Bay Area there's someone in the bear their ROI noble I'm a costco member so I guess you wouldn't necessarily be a member for both it's overkill avi twenty five rolls of toilet paper but a membership only chain right that's what Sam's Club is to expand a current partnership with apple and the expansion of apples presence at the wholesale retailers chain would be a special note given that Apple split up with costco a few years ago the two companies costco and Apple decided stop doing business in 2 2010 because a restriction that kept costco from being able to sell apple products online so Apple was like you can't do that you can't know and then kostos like pencil it online we don't want it in our stores so I've never been inside a sam's club i don't know i i'm not sure what whatever if it looks anything like a walmart looks I think that an a mini apple store with its sleek white cool lines inside of a walmart with its bins of like socks and whatever and like taller product it would be the funniest juxtaposition of two entities in the world because of Sam you know like a mini apple store inside of like this like mess that is a costco or sams class seems so weird it would be so impossible cuz it's supposed to be this like sanctuary of like beautiful sleep then your sol and touch everything and i think i can cause I'm Sam Scott I'm not sure Sam's fellas likes costco but you probably like sure you have like you know food samples and you're walking around with your greasy like mini hot dog fingers touching the ipad leg feels so god this is engrossing so I thought of those fingerprints and touching everything yeah I already feels so dirty and it was a full point at an apple store is to be able to touch everything play with everything and you know otherwise if it's behind class why would they be selling apple products in bulk is I think I don't know if it's in bulk I think it's like how they do like the Playstations or the axioms where they bundle it with another controller in a game or whatever so maybe they bundle it with a case and that whatever and whatever whatever I mean I'm really interested in what they would or not or it's just another location for going by TVs and stuff in in costco just a better combination yeah I doubt that apple will drop the price I think they just want to make their presence more known you know yeah java Cosmo the thing is is that an apple store should have an apple genius Manning it now my experience with like mini apple stores inside of like Best Buy or whatever I guess that's not i'm not sure if that's supposed to be at apple store but lake not only is there not a genius but there's not even a Best Buy employee like nobody oh you're literally I'm part of you have a question and when you find them they're only an Xbox Kinect yeah and they're lady because knows only be found so the point of this is so weird but so I don't know I think whatever it I see it as like a separate room that they would probably build it's good wow maybe like it so we can begin to the eye doctor in costco sorry right and it's like a cold a separate area and the worst not I doctor with an i like ipad by dr. life quite cheesy cheesy so I don't know so I it seems weird but on the heels of this which i think is really funny speaking of retail stores and add this list of why the hell which as we talked about last week was that Amazon was thinking about both like a brick and mortar store is that google is planning to open a retail store in dublin and when i first read this i thought it was dublin the city and the east bay there's a little city next to right over the san mateo bridge called w valley yeah in the tribes Oh funny that you thought oh it's literally like I mean it's homes it's very residential and there's like a mall but I was like a centuries-old capital of a nation yeah or there's dublin ireland which is where they were gonna build that because google has you know one of its european headquarters or the European headquarters whatever is in Dublin so in November the search giant google filed a plan to open a retail store at its headquarters in Dublin's mont a vetro office block i am a robot I can't read according to Bloomberg which discovered the document on the dublin city website and based on the plans that appears google is considering opening a store that would span about 1,300 square feet Google all are ready opened a brick and mortar store in London it was called the chrome zone oh yeah the vomit like-for-like chromosome yeah I don't know if that was literally the name or what they were calling it like the internal Numa just men to the chromosome the crew likes of danger doo-doo-doot-doot it we're going to mess with you old body so I don't know if it was um only leading up to I think it was only leading up to the holiday so it was like a pop-up store so people come whatever I wrote so much on this I did so much research on this I'm gonna cut it short because we're running out of time but here's a quote from Google's rep we already have an online store selling things like Google t-shirts and pens we have that we have the option of a small space doing the same in our Dublin office but we've not made any decisions it's simply planning an application they're going to open the store to sell hens and t-shirt can I what in the hell the point of that I thought when I first read that that it was going to be like oh sorry I'm totally running no no no I Millie things say like maybe they're gonna like open the store too so people can play with Chromebooks or do troubleshooting like it like a Google genius bar whatever so no Nexus or sell a their own photo yeah the the Nexus you're right oh that's like their own thing but there's so many thought that this would be so hard because there's so many versions of Android there's so many phones running it like they're gonna have to have an expert for everything whatever whatever and then I realized that all they wanted to do with sent petzl pens and t-shirt as the Spencer yeah and like your little droid guy and like what ridiculous the only reason that Google and Amazon even care about opening a brick-and-mortar store is because they are competing with Apple who actually did a good job opening the door can you keep with Apple here I'm sorry I'm pouring myself more shampoo yeah please do so you can't compete with Apple by selling t-shirts they're not is your company so all they want to do is open this store just to say that they did it was so stupid and lame I just cut them out get rid of the middleman and offer directly to you our fans our washers our listeners I actually have a google shirt that's never been worn that's from a Google employee and if you guys want some schwag I could add that to the schwag bag and I don't have to wait for this w store we'll just put a slice seanut sticker in it yeah you could say that you got it then when you wear it you can be like oh yeah I got this in Ireland yeah and I went on my trip to Ireland Adam Scotland in our chat room says that he went he says I went it wasn't great yeah I mean I'm not surprised oh you know I not surprised that it wasn't great I mean it's just the concept of it the concept that they're only opening it is making it so obvious that they're only opening it to compete with Apple which is I mean just stop I mean have you seen those microsoft stores that look exactly like the Apple stores yeah oh he's at least are nice like I noticed cuz it's good exactly in those serve a purpose they're not just selling Microsoft t-shirts which is so dumb and get that online and don't bother me with this brick and mortar I totally agree lady totally all right now we're gonna move on to the next room her and there's a perfect segue to it because it is a google rumor but it's sad one gosh and it's really just conjecture coming from I'm sure you guys know about our mobile expert mark Maggie Reardon she is just so smart about everything to do with mobile and she's been looking at the trends to do with Google and she believes that it is possible that Google Wallet this much ballyhooed technology that they have been pimping since last year is actually on the way out and is going to be the next big Google failure I'm not gonna go into all the reasons why there's like she has a detailed analysis and I urge you to go and read her story which is really interesting yeah we'll put a link in the blog post later that will post later absolutely but the gist of it is basically that Google developed google wallet which is based on NFC technology and it's an app that goes on your android phone and could be potentially built into phones that run android that allows you to make purchases and stores using your phone so you don't have to carry your antiquated old wallet with that adorable little paper money and those quaint little plastic credit cards that are so last century instead you could use your phone and just swipe it over that thing at the checkout counter and it using like a laser or whatever our laser i don't really know um will recognize your phone and access your account and blah everyone when it was first coming out was really concerned about security like nobody wants to have their all of their credit card information all of their financial information so readily available on the phone which as we know is able to be hacked able to be tracked is often lost and left in taxicabs and then people can just be making purchases google said that they worked out all those kinks and yet here's the problem it has not been adopted by major phone manufacturers it's just really slow to catch on and people like verizon has refused to pick it up because they have their own NFC technology that they're developing and they don't want google to take all the thunder and make all the money so they don't want google's version i have a question you know when you go to a gas station and you have you can either swipe your credit card like this or you can just tap it to the thing uh-huh does anybody do that I don't because I was like I've never done that either exactly I'm like what's the point of tapping it or swiping it and putting it whatever and so maybe the same thing with google wallet it's like path like everybody's so used to doing this yeah and I think you're right like it what it is it's like it's as though they believe they're answering a problem but it's not a problem people don't mind using credit cards you'll don't mind using cash the invention of money and credit cards is so that we can have an ease of transactions like it's already pretty easy especially cash has its caveats it's hard to have it you've to go to name but having a credit card earnings or a debit card is easy right but I feel like I'm already carrying my wallet anyway because that's my ID as a business guy it has like the stuff in it what what is the point to having one more credit card who cares I totally agree if it could replace your actual wallet as the name implies if it could be Google Wallet whirling with your I drivers I changes on your phone and it says fine then you don't have to carry wallet it's you know totally it's easy that's not what it is yeah and so it's so it's really slow to pick up and then the thing that happened last week which Maggie thinks may be the death knell of google wallet is that they had to take it offline because they found this intense security problem with it and so it's flawed and no one wants it and no one's adopting it and though everyone's excited about it and some of the rumors about the next iphone event it'll have NFC technology and all the next phones are touting that they're going to have it and it would make sense for Google to take the lead on it it's just not working and as we know Google actually has a history of failed products part of reasons because it's so innovative and right like it's like a t-shirt store and Dublin yes but also those horrendous horrific things that you'll remember google buzz oh yeah and the google TV they're kind of flops which is still doing on me there's some rumors i got fish dying on the riverbanks on yeah that's not what a fish dying on the riverbank sounds like oh okay no it doesn't leave anything i can't do a fish dying on a riverbank um but and that idea down okay but also there was Google Health I don't even remember that google labs which was actually awesome because some neat things came out of it but they shut it down all of those things are failures so will Google Wallet be the next failure well bed upon fat in one second hey now let our news our new segment we've got 11 minutes sorry it's going to be so boring this is the analytical segment no but listen okay watch this graphics and this week ago and analyze the analysis check the analysis check the analyses the annals of analysis okay so for our first ever analysts corner this is a new segment where we are going to profile the top tech analysts who are the people who are responsible for a lot of the rumors that were bringing when they're not from anonymous sources and these are people who whose job it is to work for investment firms and for think tanks and look at the market and trends and predict which what is going to happen with certain stocks are they going to go up or they go no down and why not just is Apple going to go up but is it going to go up because it's about to introduce a new app macbook pro or a 15-inch macbook air and so as is fitting from our history our first analyst that we were going to profile is none other than eugene monster himself and that is because it is Valentine's Day and Emily well upset I once said that he was a tall drink of water and I will stand behind that statement he is a very attractive me is and he is a Fame he's one of the most famous analysts because he's all over television he's on see it CNBC MSNBC he's on all of the financial shows he's one of the most sought-after analysts to come onto television and tell people this is why you should buy Apple this is why you should wait this is what we're expecting and it's not just people who invest in the stock market who listen to what he says it's also accessory makers who want to know when the ipad is coming out and want to know if it an apple TV is coming out and it's also up buyers and consumers who want to know should i wait for the ipad 3 or not so i'm going to give you just a little rundown on who this gene munster fellow is gene munster aka the top apple analyst AKA tall drink of water aka the apple guru is a senior researcher at piper jaffray in minnesota which is an investment brokerage firm which basically handles people's money and takes care of their investments and you pay them for them to tell you what you should do basically they you pay them to take your money and make it into a lot more money and the way that they do that is by employing people like Gene Munster who look at the trends and know where to invest things because they have a hit they look the precedence and they have a gut instinct for it munster joined piper jaffray in 1995 with a bachelor's degree from the University of st. Thomas which I originally thought was in the Caribbean and so sounded like a party school I was like gene that's gonna drink together but then I did a little bit of Google or research and it turns out that st. Thomas is actually a private Catholic school in Minnesota and it doesn't sound like a party school at all and what Jean does is he watches Apple and Google and Yahoo and a bunch of other Internet companies and predicts where it's going in why he made a name for himself by aggressively betting that things were going to go in a way that nobody else in the field was thinking he thought that Apple was going to rise astronomically high and what's happened is that he was right um I'm gonna go over now a prediction that he made that was correct then apparition that he made that he got incorrect and his most recent prediction great as fast as I can perfect cuz then we solved a vote okay hahahaha my prediction that he made that was correct which is a big one in September in September 11 2006 he predicted the iphone oh shoot gene munster was a genius and he believed that Apple was primed to enter the phone market because all of these other phones were coming out the touted music technology and such as at the time the LG chocolate and at the time he said that if Apple with its ipod prowess was able to enter the phone market it would have the potential to sell up to 10 million iPhones yeah that was a very another woman but he low-balled that but so then now here's a part that he got wrong once the iphone was announced gene munster predicted that Apple could sell up to 45 million of the devices in a year this is an example of him being incredibly bullish and believing that things were going to go amazingly well then he got mocked or not mocked but people said he was incorrect because that first year Apple only sold 20 million iPhones but if we fast-forward in history to now in 2011 apple sold 47 million iPhones a year so when he predicted that they had the potential to sell 45 million iPhones a year he was right he was just early what is gene munster predicting now um an apple television as you know yeah he's been predicting it front for a couple of years now and it's gotten a lot more attention ever since that Isaacson's biography has come out and he believes that that is happening but then also this most recent prediction of his as you know Apple stock is soaring above five hundred dollars a share at this moment ground-breaking lehigh stock and muenster predicts that it is going to go as high as 670 a stock which indicates that he wants you to buy Apple stock he says if you have five hundred dollars lying around right now go and buy an apple stock so my idea if you guys want to possibly play along is we could pool our very limited funds like in the one dollar range each and as a podcast we could buy one share of apple stock and we could track it and see how gene monsters doing and let me know if you want we can make 150 bucks yeah I don't know but if you guys want do that as an experiment we could all be co-owners of one share of apple stock he also believes that it's going to go so high that is going to pay a dividend to those who own it which is pretty amazing and there you go that was Gene Munster and in one little moment I hope that you feel that you've gotten to know him check the medicine check the analyses endless corn you love us some graphics all right let's do speaking of graphics let's do our voting graphic all right and I'll drink while this happens round 20 okay ready we'll do this fast because I'm a bunch of

play the mp3 first okay hey whats up guys its Josh from Maryland I almost forgot this but I was listening Android Atlas and it reminded me when I was at CES I was talking to a Google engineer about Google TV and I was asking him about the trend with going into motion controller gestures and voice control and if we would see that on Google TV and he kind of hesitated and backtracked and said um that's an interesting idea and I said are you guys working on that now and he said I'll leave it at that's interesting so he kind of hinted that the google TV engineering team which he was on is doing testing with some kinect type controllers so maybe you can add that as a rumor or a even the idea that next hard the next-gen hardware for Google TV is coming out all right love the show talk to you later Thank You Josh the the thing I wrote back to Josh in an email i said if by interest that is interesting unless by interesting it meant that you actually gave them the idea to do that in which case they're like that guy is going to something is a genius we're not gonna give him any money for that idea pretender cars and just say it's interesting so anyway so that's fun alright our next one
