podcast video that shows that drops
every Thursday we do want to tell you

that's what we're here for right
entertainment and sometimes guys calling
they leave a long one then they call
back and edit themselves and leave a
shorter one so don't do I usually helps
does it helps us you got to get it right
one time we get it right obviously here
on our show we get it right every time
right Beach perfect i'll reduce no no no
retakes out of that okay let's get to
the stories the vegas news really
dropping this week Tim Cook @wsjd live
it's a live kind of conference a panel
where they talk to tip people in the
world of tech Tim Cook was interviewed
there stands for wall street journal
right digital live here he told us that
next week monday so in about a few days
Apple will be making the new Apple TV
available to pre-order on monday and
they will be shipping by the end of the
week boom finally finally this is a
product that how are you feeling about
this guy are you know what it were me
yeah we're not in the market an apple TV
I'm sorry chromecast works great for me
I have a roku so I don't really need one
I'm gonna definitely get one I'm I don't
think I'm gonna get one because I have
to review it yeah you're you're you're
the Apple by man guess so I'm much like
much like I bought the Apple watch and
everyone's like oh dude you bought it up
a watch anyways yeah cuz I have to
review them totally and I didn't speak
of it that favorably and people got mad
at me so maybe they shouldn't have asked
me to buy an app I much yeah but Apple
TV will be interesting I do want to see
how it matches up with my favorite
streaming box platform is Roku though I
think they'd have the best content the
most content and then chromecast takes a
completely different angle to it uses
the phone really as the controller in
the box to drive it and just toss your
screen instantly so there's a lot of
different things we also have Amazon
our TV but really that benefits you if
you're an Amazon customer more than
anything else but I still pretty much
rank in my mind Roku tops and then I'll
put chromecast and Apple next depending
on what you're looking for does Roku
have voice search now they do okay yes
that's helpful because typing in the
little words you know typing the little
letters with the kids ah you don't want
to thats now you don't want to do that
in addition to this Apple TV news that
it will be coming out again there are
two models 32 gig model will start at
149 64 gig model will start at 199 why
do these need such large capacities the
ability now that you'll have apps
available as well as the fact that when
you download certain movies you won't
have to wait you can necessarily queue
them up a little earlier which is kind
of nice as well so it can hold onto
those as well Apple TV also just
recently acquired a few new stations or
I guess you could call them channels NBC
CBS all access and a venture from
William Morris Willie Morris called made
to measure which is like fashion content
is all coming to there that's awesome so
will your more something at Willie
Morris uh William is it Willie we're
gonna sound really stupid right is it
William procter gamble yeah they do the
cigarette yeah I believe so well Willie
Morris is like a talent agency someone
okay someone who acts like a like a like
okay like an angel yes like a model like
like entertainer host agency okay people
can correct us right now and be like
dude you guys I'm turning this off you
guys sounds stupid right now oh good
we're learning we're still learning we
all learn also @wsjd live Tim Cook had a
chance to talk about other topics he was
asked directly how many Apple watches
have you sold again he said we sold some
in the be Tim Cook they are not gonna
they're not going to release these
figures because I really feel like the
Apple watch sales are good compared to
the rest of the industry but they just
aren't that great yeah I've got less
they're just spectacular unless they're
like breaking all records we're not
going to hear about it and Apple will
typically boast about a product when it
hits maybe 10 million units right away
you'll start hearing stuff like that
they didn't say anything so they're
still keeping it close to the chest a
gen Tim Cook's line of the day is they
have the highest customer satisfaction
like thanks that that doesn't matter
percent that doesn't mean anything to me
I think that the new watch OS to update
that recently came out a little while
ago and they did a minor update that
will touch upon later my favorite part
about the watch is that you can now set
like a photo album of your favorites and
then random different pictures show up
like this with Mia mob a that's kind of
cool be my BAE right there my BAE but
then another time I could show it and
can be like my nieces or like a son
that's how sad it is right that's what
yet that's what got me excited about the
update of the Apple watch yeah it needs
help apps I haven't I haven't
necessarily found app still load super
fast because they still have to download
a lot of the data through your phone to
get access to it so I still haven't used
apps on my watch that much really that's
just me I there's a lot of people that
might dispute my experience but it's
it's it's there hmm so Apple watch is
kind of their Tim Cook also talked about
a few other topics touching upon Apple
doing a car he said really soft floors
up software is at the core of this to
really get those great experiences also
to help with optimizing battery life
their goal is to put an iphone
experience into a car he also said that
will wait to see we'll wait and see what
the future brings I do you really care
about an apple car right now I don't
care because i know i will not be able
to afford it so there's no point me
being excited about it really yeah I i
don't know i don't see how they leap
frog Tesla that much yeah I know that's
all Tesla has a very big footprint right
now and they're you know they're growing
rapidly so it's gonna be really hard for
Apple to come in and compete with them
right away but I mean Apple has the the
name you know that brand name so I'm
sure they do be a big factor so that'll
always be a big factor as my periscope
phone just fell off go to my lap people
just got a direct launch into my lap
which is quite nice so talked about
Apple car you know iphone success
privacy apple still has said to this
they any phones with iOS 8 or later they
do not have any way to access your data
which is a big deal Wow right um there's
some laws that are trying to be passed
to let the government have access to
some up to the date of our phones in
certain conditions but that kind of
becomes a slippery slope Apple is just
completely walled off people from
getting in there and has not created a
backdoor they say iOS 8 and iOS 9 you
are your data is protected and even
Apple can't touch it that's awesome I'm
all I like that yeah I'm gonna believe
them right I want to believe that I'm
gonna believe them right now um let's
talk about stuff that's out right now
this week pretty much or what is it this
week or last week I'm getting my weeks
all mixed up last week I can't even
remember the hunk was Back to the Future
week so we are everything we were
inundated with back to the future news
reports videos so it's all a blur right
now to me I am so confused right now
okay October 13th that's what it was
when i was gone on vacation that's what
my brain is on vacation Apple finally
released updates their new imac line so
the 21.5 inch imac now gets a Retina
display on it the 27-inch imac still has
a 5k display the pricing starts at 14 99
for the 21.5 inch and i believe it 1799
for the 27-inch but also you're getting
some killer accessories they've revamped
all of their their mac trackpad to their
magic mouse to their magic keyboard they
all have lithium ion batteries built
inside and they can all be charged with
the lightning connector I haven't even
used them because I literally came back
from vacation at the same time I don't
really actually like apples mouse I
think it's too low profile what about
the the just the clear like trackpad
thing that's kind of you know it's
supposed to have all the what do you
call it the hand gestures and stuff it's
cool but i still prefer using a mouse i
actually like the mice I like the feel
of some of Logitech's mice and
Microsoft's mice better they have a
better arch on it it just fits my hand
better yeah I apples are too low profile
for me I mean it's basically just trying
to be like an eye
screen right this is the new mouse yeah
I do and they have like even on the
trackpad it has forced touch stuff so
like you can push in it extra hard I can
if you're reading something you can get
maybe like definitions on screen of that
word ice or a quick access to a visual
representation of a map yeah so it's
it's kind of cool I don't know sometimes
I think people widely adopted I haven't
seen anyone in the office here with it
yeah so I I agree with you I think you
know people are just used to using a
mouse we've been using a mouse for like
20-30 years now so there's the only
shortcut that I've loved the most out of
all the stuff is like when you get a
shortcut with your desktop apps and
everything clears off or you know the
expose where everything minimizes that's
when I like it yeah yeah that's what I
like it but anyways Apple's new
accessories are out probably give if I
had to give anything a try i'll give the
keyboard how to try cool but it's a
little shallower it looks interesting it
looks more stylish but i don't care
honestly I don't really eyes want my
keyboard to feel good yeah it just has
to be comfortable you have to be able to
type fast so I worry about typing this
probably that's probably a good thing
yeah so those are all products that are
out that are new as of last week and you
know I guess you could say this week and
people like Oh your week behind yeah we
haven't had a show for two weeks we're
way behind get off it sorry and we are
way we are way behind alright this is
kind of fun I always liked these type of
random surveys that come out when the
holidays are just around the corner best
buy has a consumer survey that reveals
the top tech gifts for the holiday
season now did you look at this or not
are you looking at are looking at right
trying to get it up right don't look it
don't look it don't look at it right now
ok ok wait if you had to guess uh let's
say I'm gonna give you a chance to guess
five justjust guess in the top ten this
is all of the products that are out
right now okay okay Apple Microsoft
samsung everything headphones health
wrist wearables okay okay I'm gonna give
you a few moments to think about it if
you can name some of we'll see how many
you can get in the top 10 okay okay I'm
curious let me see definitely iphone 6
and
oh no no okay um Roku uh no no that's
surprising to Apple watch not the top 10
top 15 top 15 okay um chromecast no okay
you want to stop this is surprising to
me but this is based on best buy's data
the number one product people want for
the holidays ipad wow that is surprised
because the ipad market the tablet
market has continued continuously been
declining past like three or four
quarters but that's good for Apple that
is good but why why now is it because i
don't know everyone's older ipad is
finally old maybe I think that depending
on the they don't say specifically you
know the age range of this exact exact
survey let me see if they actually here
okay this is for Millennials ages 18 to
34 they put consumer electronics firmly
at the top of their preferred guess
giftless and this is what they came
about came up with so 18 to 34 year olds
that love tech all right number one iPad
number two not talked a bunch about but
my favorite travel product all time Bose
QuietComfort 25 noise canceling
headphones okay that makes sense those
are gold when you travel I love noise
canceling gold number three a macbook
which is like the most expensive
computer computer you can buy number for
the samsung 48 inch smart 4k ultra HDTV
nice i have an issue with this why 4k
don't mean squat on a 48 inch TV you
don't get any real real true benefits of
watching video on a 48 inch screen you
got to go 65 70 or larger if you really
want to see the benefits of 4k so that's
just dumb just dumb okay I should take
back your Roku statement number five
sharp 43 inch smart HDTV with Roku so
it's like a roku basin a TV I have one
of those at home ok cool I dig it ok
number I'll go through just the top 10
real quick number 6 Microsoft Surface
man I'm not it's pretty austere ffice
together a sick number 6 to be in the
top
10 number seven bose soundlink mini
bluetooth speaker okay so two speakers
are hot during the holidays interesting
though that the best by consumer Bose is
a strong brand with them right we have
two bows products in the top 10 number
eight the Fitbit charge HR I totally get
that that's an that's a they're
super-popular wearable arguably the
number one sold wearable out right after
labelling I feel like it's the top one I
see it on people all the time yep
Samsung Galaxy Tab s2 is at number 9
still still alive and kickin still alive
and number 10 dysons v6 absolute bagless
cordless vacuum those are very expensive
man do Dyson vacuums like for the good
model it's like easily over 300 bucks
and for the great looking like 500 the
great model yeah five six seven hundred
bucks goodness that's just scary that's
scurry and they're also like one of the
worst reviewed vacuums on cnet by the
way from the scene at home people do
they today hate dysons man every one of
them because they're super overrated is
not just yeah they're overpriced I think
mainly they lose because of the price
but um yeah they're just really
expensive I mean I've I've caught I've
been swept up in the whole idea of the
brand because I've been looking at Dyson
that's all I know other pricing I'm like
are you killing me seen that smart
people now with that yeah so anyways
that's just a breakdown of the top 10
holiday wish list app awash came in at
number 12 in case you guys were
wondering but it was not in the top 10
on all again ipad number one probably
the most surprising thing to me out of
that list was a Roomba number 14 I would
recommend a Roomba before a Dyson just
by the way because it does the work for
you have to do anything rumours are
actually pretty good I want one I'm not
even kidding I want one really bad i'm
tired of sweeping my house then don't do
it this year this year is the year Oh
Santa ho ho ho since we were talking
about iPads been so popular let's talk
about the ipad pro the product that i've
been dying for 42 years it's coming out
and I admittedly admit on my show that
the surface pro is a superior product
because of its hybrid nature its ability
to be a desktop OS as well as a
tablet-based oh
s it's a better product but because I'm
an apple ecosystem not only just my
music movies and purchases the apps it's
it does tend to come down to the
ecosystem in the apps I still want an
ipad pro I would be totally stoked to
have an iPad pro would be awesome
definitely her as a gift or something
you bought a gift I would not buy that's
what that mean I bet that's what it
sounded like in your voice I'm like oh
he wouldn't buy one but you would get
one as a gift picture I would happily
accept one the rumors is that the ipad
pro according to Macotakara and their
chinese-based supply chain sources will
be available on november the sixth that
would be the week after the apple TV if
so earlier rumors pointed to the fact
that apple TV would be available
sometime in early november so this could
line up right there's been no
confirmation from Apple at all but the
Apple started the ipad pro november
sixth right on right on and this is kind
of cool we always see patents that get
filed by Apple some of them are accepted
some of our I mean some of them are
granted some of them we never see the
light of day some of them are both
granted and we never see anything about
them Apple has a new kind of magnetic
multi-use ipad stand that was recently
granted granted to them an original
patent that they filed back I believe
somewhere around 2013 and so whether you
can see this or not basically it's kind
of like a it's like a cup that
magnetically connects on the bottom of
the iPad and then outside of it is this
kind of mounting bracket and Apple used
a lot of examples where you could maybe
put on the dashboard of your car you
could put it on like a fitness runner
you could do things like put it on a
tripod or a music stand and then they
even showed like an image where you
could put two iPads side-by-side to look
like an ibook that's cool man I would
totally get one of these how we with
what iPads i have i have one ipad okay
no I would you know I'd use it at
definitely at the gym put it on the
treadmill as they see that that actually
be cool yeah
I wouldn't lie if I was a treadmill user
I would do that or even if they had
different the thing about this is it's
some mounting bracket so they have to
make them available everywhere but if I
could just dock it somewhere and use it
why not you know I have like a little
iPhone mount for my car yeah and I put I
put it on you know I watch like CNN or
something I'm track I was like you know
it's like right in front of me know okay
would you really but um you know if I
had an iPad I'd probably even go for
that that would be great for my kids by
the way y'all by the way by the way that
would be awesome so anyways it's a
patent application for this kind of
mounting bracket base that could connect
to an iPad pretty cool whatever they may
or may not make it but the reason why I
brought it up is because the ipad pro
has really started to create its whole
family of accessories they have the
apple pen soul and their their keyboard
case so we'll see how that all shakes
out iphone news this is always kind of
funny acc recently released their new a
9 phone and images of the rear of the
phone may look exactly like not even
trying to be different but exactly like
an iphone 6 design yeah if you have the
complete metal backing you have the
lines now for it i will give them credit
for the record uh HTC was if i recall
right the first phone that came with a
metal unibody the original HTC One which
I owned because I loved it had that
whole full-body now this is this is
funny because they had to defend
themselves Jack tongue literally that's
the name president of atc north asia not
related to me jack tong we might be
related we're all related said we're not
copying we made a unibody metal-clad
phone in 2013 it's apple that copies us
in terms of the antenna design on the
back Jack Tong has anybody seen he has a
point there everyone's like oh the
iphones first now it's true wasn't first
he says the a9 has made thinner and more
lightweight than our previous metal-clad
phones this is a change in evolution
and we're not copying okay well he was
right about the first Marcia but that
looks exactly like an iphone yes thank
that's pretty funny it's pretty awesome
that it's pretty awesome good good for
them good for them and then in another
report just some update Apple news of
what's kind of shakin and bakin in the
background intel is reportedly
partnering up with Apple to provide
chips for the next gen iphone this won't
be anything processor-based but reports
out of venturebeat's a intel is hoping
to supply its 7360 LTE modem chip to
Apple for the device and if all goes
well even potentially take part in some
of the manufacturing right now we know
there's a Qualcomm chip inside the
success and the success plus that
handles all of the wireless
communications and has even faster
connectivity at LTE networks Intel this
is big money for companies in order to
get their processors and their chips
inside of an iphone we know how many
units they sell I think there's a rough
estimate that they might Apple might
sell somewhere around 40 plus million
iPhones before their next quarterly or
earnings report which is coming up
pretty soon I think it's coming up in a
in a week or so I can't remember off the
top of my head but there you go Intel
potentially getting their chips inside
of an apple iphone um also stuff that's
happening inside of the iphone software

spirit hands here I have some b-roll
there's so spirit hands there's a bunch
of there's a bunch of stuff emojis make
life better I actually wish people would
like send us messages in emoji to the
code that actually be pretty cool oh
yeah maybe we'll do that one time here
we go look at all these emojis chocolate
chip that's probably there already
actually Oh tacos I'm talking tacos
right now I'm talking there's a
breakfast taco in there there's a dog
that's dressed like a taco and there's a
dude with a tank top that's tacos how
can you not love that stuff all right um
beyond that watch os2 was updated OS 10
el capitan updated for better
compatibility with office 2016 as well
as the emojis then apple also seeded TV
OS which is in gold master which now
means that's pretty much the official
release that will go out to consumers
when the new Apple TV comes out next
week it's always fun to get a new
product yeah but I have to spend money
for it right now and for the record
people may not knows i buy my own stuff
yes brian is by Allah's own stuff I've
never apple doesn't give it to me and
then when you sell it you usually do it
for charity on eBay which is very kind
of well I did that I won't say it all
the time but I didn't come on a few
times I did that a couple times because
of just like crazy natural disasters you
know what sometimes that suffer
hits me because I feel like we are so
lucky like we talked about tech and it's
the fact that we can talk about tech and
laugh about it and goof around about it
is a big deal to me because there's
there's people in just ridiculously dire
situations and you gotta like take a
step back once in a while you know
that's all one time I did I'm not here
to brag because i don't want even so
what have you done lately right but uh i
went to vegas and i won something like
three hundred dollars playing blackjack
nice but then like the the earthquakes
in haiti happened yeah and i just donate
all my i felt really bad and I was like
I'm just gonna go my winning dozen of
the biggest disaster that was hope yeah
I was horrible they're still like
rebuilding and we don't see much about
it so anyways if you guys ever feel like
you have you know take a moment is that
step back if you can do anything like
that even small things it's just it's
always always good always good um other
than that for Jen you know like I said
Apple TV coming out we do one option to
talk about Steve Jobs movie have you
seen it no I have you want to see it so
bad so it's officially releasing
nationwide this friday which is today
yes it was the only in select theaters
yeah it was really small it was a real
small role but it made somewhere it
might have only been on maybe like 50
theaters if not you've even that and it
grows somewhere around two million
dollars I think this movie is gonna be
ridiculous every review talks about it
and it it looks insane I'm very excited
about it so I don't know if I'm gonna be
able to see it this weekend it's my it's
my Bay's birthday weekend which probably
means she doesn't want to go see steve
jobs for probably but uh you know we'll
see what happens either way I've got to
see this movie in the next week I can't
wait it looks so beautifully shot do it
like whoever you know so Danny Boyle
directed Aaron Sorkin written even
Michael Fassbender said that he didn't
he was he was trying to take a hiatus
and a break and when he saw the script
he said I had to do it smart and then
Aaron Sorkin funny enough never saw a
fost bender movie he had missed
everything from let's say what are like
I quiet I can't even think of a one of
his movies I mean what you know the
movie that doesn't do justice you know
there's x
hidden first okay yeah i mean he's good
at it but that's not what his real
ranges yeah man if people like gave me
someone's gonna be like why don't you go
to IMDb and why don't you type in like
foss foss bender and see like all the
movies that he's done oh he was in the
was he in prometheus I love that movie
was he won yeah what's easily was a big
robot guy like uh yeah i like the
android giant guy i think he was he uh
he was in okay here band of brothers
okay never saw that one Xmen apocalypse
is one of them uh prometheus he was in
um yeah okay i think of him as a serious
actor but it seems he isn't a lot of
sci-fi kind of things so yeah sorkin was
like I've never seen this guy but then
he saw some of the subbies like we have
to have this guy he was an instant he
became an instant fan cool so Steve Jobs
the movie out this week gotta go check
it out um let's take some phone calls
yeah oh yeah let's do this let's do get
a couple voicemails and well let's hear
the first one hey this is Connor now I
am a huge fan of Cena and also apple so
I recently got the new thirty eight
millimeter Apple watching but the new
product red color that was just one
thing do you think it was a good buy or
do you think you're sort of a flop
thanks bye do you really want that
answer I don't think it's a flop I think
it's it's a middling product to me it's
like a five or six out of ten right now
it still is even after the software
update you heard me talk about it
earlier if you love it then I'm happy
for you but if you think it's I would
have only I feel like you're only asking
me that question because you don't think
it's as good as you thought it would be
and you're curious what my opinion is in
my opinion probably lines of yours it's
not as good as you thought it would be
so this is a bummer which is a bummer
thank goodness I love how it looks but
man if I did not like how it even
remotely looked I would just I would not
be wearing instead it got a special red
one is that like a new model it was um
just the ban was like the red uh they
have a product red band with kind of a
new launch of new colors of bands basic
okay so um not not a dud but alright
let's go the next call hey guys it's
jordan Richard
to you from Adelaide Australia um I'm
just wondering how long do you think
after the ipad pro comes out people
start complaining that they're getting
hurt or impaled from the Apple pencil
being charged from the Lightning port
and secondly do you know why Apple
always uses 914 I think its nine
football team anyway I love the show and
keep on Apple biting and so yeah I don't
think anyone's gonna get impaled by the
way I'm wondering how does someone get
impaled by the Apple like it'll snap off
that lightning connector first before
you get impaled by it quite honestly you
could I mean if you could drive a stake
through a vampire's heart you could
probably drive a Apple pencil through
someone's stomach mm-hmm so go at it
what was this other question about 914
oh yes marshalls ok so it rang a bell
because I'm like oh no no no I know why
Apple a lot of times you'll see like
this the time 941 it's actually 941 it's
not 914 I believe it's actually actually
I'm pretty sure it's 9 41 and what it
comes from historically according to
insiders and according to Apple is that
at the time Scott Forstall who used to
run iOS and then was actually fired
because he refused to apologize about
the maps debacle and that's why no one
uses Apple maps anymore yes okay so
there's a little history note for you he
told someone that in Apple's keynotes
they like to around the 40-minute mark
reveal the big thing of the keynote but
then it's so silly they're like well it
doesn't always happen exactly 9 40 so
we'll give or take a minute or two and
that's how 941 originated now if you
look at past keynotes um I think I had
it pulled up here but if you look at
past keynotes there are many multiple
references where Steve Jobs drops the
bomb at 94 I like 940 one ish really
yeah I'm serious that's very interesting
so so inside it's so inside baseball
that's why you see it um no around there
but that's according to story
is is what it's all about um in the
morning here we go in the morning steve
jobs announced the very first iphone in
2007 around the 42 minute mark in his
keynote he said today Apple is going to
reinvent the phone picture of the iphone
popped up displaying the time 9 42 in
2010 the first iPad was released that
was revealed it displayed 941 hmm if you
check apples site right now there's
always 941 uh you know kind of used on
the products and whatnot and so there
you go that's some of the reasoning
behind it that's pretty cool no real
reason but a reason I'm gonna start
looking for that now yeah and now you
know now you know it it's so inside
baseball it's weird it's weird and
Jordan I do have to ask you a question
you could google that that's so funny
that you say that because I always have
like a question in my head and before I
asked like a co-worker or someone
sitting near near me I'm always like I
could just look that up I don't want to
bother anybody I think Google has made a
lot of people look way smarter than they
are to you but then also google is great
I use it just to find out about the
history I'm a big comic fan and I'm a
comic geek and there's certain things
that I still don't know and so you got
to use that and there's nothing wrong
with boning up on your knowledge and
then being able to spit out my lady will
be like oh did you wikipedia that or
something like you cuz she knows if it's
like something totally new that like
neither of us really knows she's like
there's no way you can just know all
this right away you clearly use the
internet to learn about it I did and you
didn't so don't get mad don't hate don't
hate is there for a reason yeah okay um
what sorrow yeah there's a couple more
okay keep on going this guy hi miss
Michelle from Houston Texas I want to
know what can we do to get more memory
on samsung has their sdk little SC mini
cards and we still have to deal with
apples in-house storage I want to be
able to record something and put it on
my little SD mini SD card
and and move it around quicker instead
of have to connect my phone all the time
so I'm you need to put a petition out of
something we need to put out a petition
let's should we just do that should we
do the pic yeah petition right now sure
go there's a petition website I'm sure
that we can just create one send it out
tweet it out tweet tweet it tweet it out
uh so here's the thing now you've
actually started to see a trend of
phones we're talking about non apple
phones Android phones from google
samsung i think I don't know if the new
HTC 9 has a 9 has a slot or not I can't
remember at the top my head because I
was gone but more phones now we're
actually taking getting rid of that
micro SD card slot instead of keeping
them but I do have a solution for you
apples not going to change that they
have never done that from the start I
don't see them doing it anytime soon but
a beach um if you can look up this thing
it's called the mophie space pack mo pH
I space pack what it is it's basically a
case for your phone so mophie makes a
bunch of these awesome killer battery
packs it's them it is my personal
battery battery case of choice but a sum
ov space pack this what makes this
different though is it has storage
within the battery case ranging from
something like 64 gigs additional 128
gigs additional and what you can do is
actually use that storage space with
your phone and put your music on there
you can put files it it's probably one
of the coolest solutions because this
battery this is also a battery case at
the same time so that's the juice pack
reserve that we're showing on screen but
it's called the mophie space pack you
can look them up they're not the
cheapest i think they start typically
around 100-120 nine dollars but it
basically can double the storage of your
device slap that bad boy on and you're
good to go that's pretty cool yeah it's
a really killer product i sat down with
them a man months ago when they showed
you i'm like i wouldn't use that but i
thought it was really cool nice so there
you go i found a couple here but um you
don't really have a good image of them
what is it what is it retail for roughly
a hundred and fifty dollars yeah see
they're not cheap for 16 gigs luhya is
not cheap because again it's a battery
case as
well it looks like 60 for the 64 gig
it's two hundred dollars that's pretty
pricey but you know they do have apple
does have the iCloud now for 99 a deal
for 50 gigs they do so it's twelve
dollars a year for 50 gigs of storage is
pretty big amount of storage to meet you
use that I don't but you know when I saw
that option I was like that is a viable
option and it's affordable more than
once it was it before it was like thirty
dollars yeah I 20m I can't remember I
mean they had to drop their storage
price it's one of those things that I've
never I've never used because I don't
know I there's I'm still there's there's
stuff about me where I like the idea
about the cloud but there's too many
things at oh if it's in the cloud and
then once you're disconnected it goes
away blah blah blah but I just don't
like yeah like this is tricky to I mean
it's it's not easy to figure out like
I've been playing with it you know it's
not know I know not simple or like you
know storing do they say they won't get
access to it but do I really want to
store an exact backup of my phone on the
cloud and then when it comes time to
re-install re reload your phone it's
actually takes a long ass time to get
that data from the cloud instead of just
plug it in your computer through a cable
too so it takes longer to but there are
obviously advantages where the cloud
works but just for pure storage I'm I'm
personally not as big a fan of that for
photo storage I think it's a different
ballgame yeah I think photo storage is
huge that's where it it makes the most
sense for me yeah but for just general
storage not as much you don't want to
lose photos cuz that's precious times
that you've recorded in order children
beach yes you're beautiful children I
don't know anyone I don't want to tell
you about my project backing up every
photo of ever every digital photo I've
ever taken I back to a hard drive it
took me a couple weeks that's hard but
now you organize it too yeah it's all
organized in folders 2014-2015 that's
bro it's kind of cool you know but a
folder and be like oh here's my every
picture in 2015 yeah it's kind of me
that that could be rough that could be
ready I'm just saying like I just over
time all my stuff's just like in this I
photo thing and I like it's not even
organized anymore right just goes in
there Mike out whatever yeah it sucks
okay
do we have any more calls we have one
more and this is another another example
of what not to do this guy he makes some
valid points but he's kind of all over
the place he doesn't really make a
coherent thought for a while but here
let's listen okay okay this is awesome
um yeah so I'm watching your guys of the
Apple by at your country podcast and
yeah about this apple ring thing oh my
god like I just think it's ridiculous um
like first of all I mean I do not want
Apple to make a car you know how to
compete with Tesla I mean first of all
that's what I mean though it's not a
thing I mean in my pain it's not a real
thing yet because I don't know anyone
you know that drives one if I do see em
you know see a person drive it it's real
quick if you're in San Francisco there
are Tesla's everywhere on every corner I
almost got ran over by a test of the
other day coming it was coming out of
like a don't do that in garage I almost
hit me there's Tesla's everywhere FYI f1
whoops I was trying to I tried to replay
his part but anyway that's an example of
it was like a minute and six second
second oh here so please I mean we're
the only ones i gotta keep on going on
and on and on about the stupidest stuff
you can't how fair is that yeah like he
got into mac pro's and that call
chairman like iPads and Apple watch he
commented on everything he was pretty
much covering the entire gamut yes
exactly what you could do to be more
productive if you guys want to call us

like you know he was just getting a lot
of off his chest yeah is venting I'm
we're here for that will take
relationship advice will do everything
