and welcome to episode 74 the tech top Buffalo show I'm Wonder to host for today Sean ani editor-in-chief of the site and i'm joined by deputy managing editor Todd Hazleton everybody are you doing Todd I'm still tired uh yeah yeah I I have to agree with you also I just a real quick piece of housekeeping if there is this could very well be the last episode of the TechnoBuffalo show if I win 1.5 billion dollars tonight or whatever amount it is yeah I'm not coming back next week yeah seem here actually yeah so I'll be back just to say goodbye oh okay just kidding fur no and if you're not here we'll know why right yeah exactly well as I expressed earlier today my plan is to buy tekton Buffalo and rebrand it as a knitting site so yeah I i just sent an article this is funny for anyone who hasn't seen it though there's it's on gizmodo about this woman who knit like a life-sized version of her son to cuddle with which is just creepy Emily reprint technobuffalo into a knitting site will teach you how yes exactly we're also going to show you how to make cozies for your smartphones huh yeah because who needs to go out and buy a case where you can just nip one yeah keep your phone room exactly so that's our plans if one of us happens to win the 1.5 billion dollars but beyond that yo since we're in the world of reality unfortunately so last week as you all know what CES which i find hilarious that they no longer allow us to call it the Consumer Electronics Show yeah I still I'm sure you've probably corrected it sometimes when I type it out I still do that I everybody does and what you don't know folks is we get all these emails from CES leading up to the show and for last year and this year we kept getting up and remember is now just called the International CES is not the consumer electronic show I forgotten they actually always request that you call it international to which I don't think we do no I and we never will yeah because it's the silliest thing in the world of time it's see yes you know fine whatever and I'm sorry it's still the consumer electronic show so yes folks we we were there we were there in force I think that was the largest team we've ever taken I kept screw up whatever I would make dinner reservations what was it like 11 of us 11 of us but like at first night when we went to the buffet i miscounted right and we ended up having to bring more people and then the night we went to the irish pub i miscounted and it was a 11 was just a weird number to deal with yeah it is not a nice even number but hey that was fun we got I'll see everybody ya know it's great you know that this is one of the few times of the year it's actually the only time of the year that so many of us are in one place at one time so it's always a nice not only to be there and see the show but also to actually be able to see one another in person the only people that weren't there this year is the gaming department which nothing I guess they're just simply is not that much gaming there and Killian ruk writer right but otherwise all of us were there and for those of you that fog along in years past yes we did have a room under the stairs although we had more we actually had what was it four rooms in like four rooms I spent all of my time in one room mmm as did you in the room under the stairs we separated each other this time yeah good ears there were some of us that want the quiet room under the stairs and some of us wanted to be in the big room and then we had a filming studio upstairs and then we had a spare room that we were just using for voiceover work yeah which is hard to do when you're in the car stereo section and about every 15 minutes some idiot turns up the stereos yeah it's like we're sitting there trying to write edit video do voiceovers whatever and all of a sudden in this area someone to like try to prove how you know loud their speakers get probably for sales or something I just hike it all the way up like to the point where I'm like I'm gonna have our tech that was so glad oh there I fine I I normally don't listen to music while I work but I put on my noise-canceling headphones just to cancel out all the stereo my wrists were vibrating on the table most of it yeah yeah it was yeah it was nuts but so folks CES is over and Todd you weren't a great piece about the fact that CS so much this year wasn't about what we were seeing right it was like the saw I say I think I said the stuff that matters is he as his stuff you can't see and I actually I was surprised see yes put that on their website which I know I that that surprised me too that was the only one of our post they put up but it goes along with an editorial you wrote ooh is very good about the the smart home and uma and echo and stuff like that and how is all of these things combined you know we would think like smart Homer for the young and the hip and though you know people building new houses like I gotta being on this and now you know you were saying it's about the elderly to might need assistance with say calling 911 bailed early people with disabilities there's a lot of stuff that I think people are not realizing about smart homes yeah which is sort of exactly what I was saying to is that in previous CES is especially way back the day before I was probably born you know I'd walk and you'd see like new speakers and TVs and VCRs or whatever and you're like oh that's that and then as I was going sometimes it was phones and there were still phones um you know obviously the 8k TVs the 4k TVs and like advancements in those areas but it was more about you know not that hardware but what's going on behind the scenes stuff you can't see so like webos three point 0 for example on the TV and even like sure you can see it there but it's not like you like I don't think I needed to be at CES to say I saw webos three-point Oh like I could have seen a demo anywhere right um and and you know just the advancements that we've we've had in the smart home like you were saying um not just TVs where else we look in I mean you look at refrigerators maybe just things are getting smarter and I hate it to call it the internet of things but the way everything talks to one another now and that involves you your TV and your smartphone and appliance up like that and of course you can't see it you can't see that technology just walking up and down the halls it's like you could see it demoed but it really it's that's software and the chips and stuff you know behind the scenes at Intel and Qualcomm and all these other companies have been working on I think that's what was super fascinating to me yeah I actually I what people don't know is I very rarely get out on the floor at see us because I'm so busy air traffic controller is they call it and on the day you guys all were departing I was still there i did get out for an hour to and I went over and I saw the the Samsung family hub the refrigerator with the smart screen hang which I admit I made fun of all that week and once I talked to him I asked them one question I go now when this refrigerator for those that don't know every time he closed the door the refrigerator takes picture so you can see what was inside so you can look you know without opening the door the key to that though was that you can access those pictures on your phone so when you're away from the home so if you're at the grocery store there is a use their you you can look at the picture and go oh I don't remember if we need eggs right now of course the way they were demonstrating this was a very clean organized refrigerator I know I was gonna say yeah I'm like unless there are also cameras in the back you're in my refrigerator never gonna see everything yeah exactly like stuff on the door and all kinds of yeah so it's not perfect but it was still it was an interesting idea and I can see some uses for it but yeah I green tea though Todd it was a lot about what we weren't seeing we were being explained to about it and they were running demos but it was not a physical good right yeah it's like it exists this the advancements exist on physical goods that arguably we've already seen like 4k TVs and bit I mean at some point I feel like we walk the show for and you're like okay it's a big screen TV I can't afford it it's sharp more colorful than I've ever seen before you know like my eyes can't comprehend the amount of colors and you know stuff like that rias like okay I get it yeah now I I did go over to LG's booth I I checked out the 4k with HDR television yeah and I will say this so they had four of them on display and they were showing 3 0 demos on three of them were showing demos that were just unbelievably crystal-clear like there was a NASA shuttle launch that was just mind-blowing then the fourth scream was showing netflix is daredevil and it had this artifacting going on in it I was like what the heck why is not clear I kept looking I kept looking and so finally I walked here on I talked to a rep I'm like why is there artifact you know artifacts on the dirt oval I was all those were intentional by the show's creator I went wait a minute I walked back over I looked at it I studied it real hard now for those that are in comic book readers back in the 70s and 80s when comics were preying on just regular newsprint there were lots of little dots that would show up and the the printing because it was just playing newsprint the show daredevil would you have not seen unless you see an HDR is there is a layer of little dots no way there is newsprint dots layered on that show wow I did not know that I didn't either until I saw it in HDR I was like this is the coolest geekiest thing I have ever seen in my life that's pretty crazy yeah I that happened after you guys left so I hadn't had a chance to tell you all about that but yeah and he goes yeah it exists you just can't see it like on a 1080 screen and even on a regular 4k screen it's tough to spot Wow all right but I don't think that's why I'm gonna buy it look at HDR yeah no no no no at yeah I'm not running on by an N HDR television just for for that but alright so there were some technological advances I mean TVs are always at CSR always insane with what they show us and they always make you come home and look at your current television go I hate you yeah exactly like I said what can't you be colder like your big brother I know but it's like I guess now and I think I wrote this to like I guess now I could buy the TV's we saw like two years I don't know you know like maybe a thousand dollars an affordable price I don't know yeah but I still like I wouldn't I already have this TV here which is like a couple years old I was just pointing out those who are just listening the audio and it's fine it's like I could I can't justify it upgrading right right I mean I i recently bought a refurbished Vizio television which is 4k and that's my first 4k television and the only reason is because we're remodeling a room and that is did not previously had televisions now going need one so we old one yo got the new one and I knew I knew going in to see us I was like I know there's going to be something there it's gonna make me drool and hate myself and and there was I mean the 4k with HDR is absolutely gorgeous I will say the stupidest television i saw was i don't know if any of the rest of you saw this over at GC how they had a television that was done a 21 by 9 aspect ratio which is the same as a movie theater yeah and so they were showing a movie on it and looked absolutely spectacular however what they were not showing you is regular television content to say what happens so that I want to know because basically you can only use that television for movies yeah which I mean I guess for people that have how big was it like some people have their home theaters um it wasn't big enough for a home theater i think it was around 65 70 inches okay um but yeah and it was a look let me tell you they were showing after earth the M night Shyamalan movie which is a horrible movie but it looked unbelievable on the screen but again I don't see you watching the big bang theory on this on this toleration right kind of like this point but you know so let's dive in was there any one thing at CES that you walked away and went wow I'm so glad I saw that um if I'm honest no I think it's more about the story there like I think I was just very blown away by and I knew about you know HTC and under armour and their partnership a little bit ahead of time but just how everything is connected and in a lot of ways it's either your smartphone or the TV that's the hub and this was the first time we really saw the TV excuse me acting as the hub especially LG's why bless three-point oh you know I saw I didn't take any pictures I'll because it was sort of like oh ok but you know I saw it with a whole screamer which are like status of your washer status of your dryer that we've talked about but also temperatures of specific rooms in your house temperature of like the fridge you know I don't know how much people really care about this and one of the things we've talked about too is how many people are actually gonna upgrade like all of their appliances but you know if someone's buying a new house they want this they can have it all at once I can't imagine how much would cost so that was cool and then the other thing that I like walked away you know I don't think I was like oh my god I needed to see that but I was very impressed by the next bit Robin the smartphone that was a Kickstarter started by some guys and they have some of the htc's former staff on their team who I've known for a while what the guy Scott Croyle for example designed the one m7 he designed this next bit Robin and I was actually impressed as a plastic phone I really liked it and actually ended up backing it on like the second gets on a Kickstarter I forget the new one while I was in the meeting with them so I'm excited for that to ship sometime this month I guess yeah that was funny when you came back home well I liked it enough about one yeah which I'm like I can't believe I did that but I can yeah I can't it's one of those things though where I felt like it wasn't so much the phone and I am impressed with the phone but also like I've known these people one of them was eric lin he worked for acc for skype and back in the day for phonescoop as a as a blogger just like we do so it was like more like backing people that I believe in that I you know that I've known for a long time and I felt like hey this is pretty cool so yeah I would say my favorite thing that I saw I went over to a special presentation by Dolby and they were demonstrating how Dolby Atmos is being brought into a lot of different s but you know it's being brought into tablets and smartphones and all that and I have never been a big believer in sound bars I think sound bars for the most part mine I never saw the point of them because I did have a surrounds you know system I was like you know the sound bars are just in front of you that that doesn't make any sense well to argue just real quick because I know you're saying to in an apartment like mine where I mean the TV's here the couch across the room and I can't really put surround sound if you just look at this from home that's where like so I've always wanted Santa Barbara they're kind of expensive for the quality o on right so they are coming out with Dolby Atmos sound bars and so they took me into this demo room now mind you I'm I know first off this is a room that they have fine-tuned could you within an inch of its life I understand that completely right so they sat me down the couch they started playing this and it was a demo of a leaf falling off a tree and behind me I could hear more leaves wrestling so when the demo finish I was like how many speakers are behind me and they go none and you are free to inspect the room yeah that stuff's crazy yeah so what it is they have tweeters in the top of the sandbar that are firing at the ceiling and then it's bringing it down behind you through angles yeah it's bouncing its cool stuff it was so awesome so it was a sound bar and just a subwoofer and that was it wow I i have to admit i walked away really impressed from that i will bring this up though so of course everyone's talking about VR Dolby is doing some stuff with VR and so mind you I'm going to talk about to VR headsets that although I saw them at the dolby demonstration there this is not Dolby's fault so they had a samsung gear vr for me a try on and an oculus rift mm-hmm has anyone that designed to be our headset ever had to wear glasses while wearing one of these I don't know I get you so I had to sit there and for those of you lo see on the audio podcast you won't be able to really envision Eliza's I had to sit there with my hands on the gear VR and the oculus and pulled them slightly away from head that throughout the entire demo because it was pressing my glasses into my face so hard whoa that's annoying I chiller had glasses on wall in the demos yeah and the arceus especially it was painful Wow yeah I want to walk out I had to get my glasses cloth out and wipe all my face off with us that's crazy now but they the gear VR should technically work without glasses to Rex it has like and I assume the oculus but it has the roller thing at the top it just it was impressed out far enough and they might be adjustable I fully realized that however you in a demo situation right oh I couldn't sit there and fiddle with them completely right now that being said that was my first time finally getting to use an oculus and what they were demoing to me was uh concerts and it was it was kind of interesting you know because it was Paul McCartney concert and so it was filmed with the camera set up on the stage and so then you you know can look around and you can look back out at the audience you can look at the different members of the band right and all that so that was kind of interesting you know and I can finally say I used an oculus unfortunately wasn't a game though I know that's where be ours truly yeah it's incredible yeah I know I I wish I'd had time to go try a game somewhere but hmm not yet unfortunately I I will I think HTC had like a four hour wait at one point for the bots now I think that was for everybody at the show I think press could we could have made appointments yeah yeah when I dated her I knew he saw the well I peps come you could just walk up and try it I'm press because Rory and I took video of Jacob trial that's right it and came to the realization that nobody looks good where I could be our help yeah well you're just watching somebody standing at a distance trying doing VR and they're looking all around with that and they have no idea what's around them it's just really odd-looking yeah and it's odd being that person because you feel like you're in another universe yeah transplanted yeah no that was it was definitely proof of concept that you cannot look good while wearing a VR headset ya can't happen but no it was an interesting show and you know CES 2017 is only 51 weeks away yeah and in here comes Mobile World Congress which we just booked yesterday exactly so and that a oh I i would say phones at csr 95% dead yeah yeah i think the day of the phones at CES dead i think everyone's holding out for next month at mwc in spain l unfortunately but it comes so quick you know you're just like all of a sudden here we are you know but that's good after more war Congress we have a little break until Eva and September and all starts all over again yay but of course don't forget yo we've also gotten their google i/o WD yeah that is true not nothing like starting the year my other dates were just announced yesterday we didn't they didn't send out press invitations yet but what are they don't remember that's middle of middle of may i believe ya mei 18 to 20th so 18 is gonna be the big one you want to follow for you know android news and stuff exactly uh such a mahal brings up one product we haven't discussed yet that of course was a lot of the talk of the show is the faraday future FF 0 1 actually real and is it coming out as real product yes it is real it was there yeah but it's not coming out as a real prize eggs anecdotes yeah yeah it just there's no way that Batmobile is going to come out its own consumer car yeah i've done a lot of radio and newspaper interviews since CES closed up and that's been one of the top yo discussions and trying to explain to everybody what a concept car of concept means has been real fun hahaha it's just like a concept car were the pieces of it are all concept yeah yeah the feeding and watering tube though is the part that kills me and that's like okay um yeah it's almost like okay let's throw everything possible in here and that's exactly what they did with the faraday you know it was just it was everything else possible hey ya know but the funny thing is you know okay that was interesting and it looked cool and then all of a sudden what was the new feature that uh summoned the Tesla just announced which sounds incredible itself and it's like actually here we can have the co you can summon the car and like pull out of your garage if you have you know it's up to your smart home and they said within two years it can like come across the country to meet you that's crazy like imagine being at work and you're like oh need my car summon it yeah I all I could think of was that the Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie where he's using the phone and driving the car yeah yeah yeah is it but okay so it sounds it sounds stupid and crazy and all that but what about people in Manhattan or like myself here we're parking is crazy expensive yet you know like my my father-in-law's house is about 40 minutes away I could keep the car there any time I need to use it i summon it wait 40 minutes and then you know i'm not paying for parking I don't know stuff like that to meet your seems really cool and like parking in New York City more expensive so that's intra the other thing I envisioned was like for a mom iron man 3 when he starts building the armor that he could just stick out his hand yeah yeah yeah it just comes exactly yes I just picture you walk you outside sticky your thumb out and also your car arrives I mean I'd be awesome and imagine all the people in your you just have like I feel like the Meadowlands here which is sort of like the wasteland of New Jersey were just all of a sudden and i don't mean the stadium which is what the former jets and giants am used to be called now it's metlife anyway but you could have these huge parking garages there like in the middle of nowhere and everybody in New York City just keeps their cars there you know they come in when they need these driverless cars going over I don't know just the few true I just wanna know if I can officially stop calling him the st. Louis Rams yeah yeah that's right only Rams as in last pirate it I I will I always love the fact that we lost the cardinals which is a very you know prolific bird here to arizona where Cardinals really don't exist right and in exchange we took in the LA Rams which we have no Rams here that's been like I feel like that's been the threat though of so many NFL I don't know how he swished this but of so many NFL teams for a long time leo we're just gonna move to LA you know and especially the Rams and now here here they go well for those that don't know I I know what's going to be blamed III don't know how we got on this either st. Louis tried to pass a law they put it on the ballot where they were going to text the entire state of Missouri to pay for a new Rams stadium I think that's kind of common sometimes and we we voted that down uh I'm sorry we're not paid for sale is his duty anyway back to see yes wow that was a weird danjan anyway back to see so we do have a question from such humble hall here and this is well this is a delicate one but it could also be fun what was the one product or thing that you didn't like at CES 2016 hmm that's a bit tougher because we always look at wheat town and I especially try to be very positive we always try to go okay well what about this use case what about that use case yeah and there are times where but there are times where you just have to find go yeah now there's no no reason for this to exist the other thing too is like I didn't really go into the sands we're kind of the weird stuff is um we had our other guys go there I mean you and ice with a lot of time asking people to go places um yeah there is stuff I mean okay I saw like I don't know no I don't think of anything I didn't like I thought some things that I thought were kind of stupid but something I didn't like them like parrot parrot has these drones which are all really cool and they had like all of them sort of dancing together and I thought it was cool but then I was like that's also kind of stupid I looked up online because I know I thought I was also like oh I'd like to own one of those drones cuz they were all dancing together on their would spell out messages in the air which was neat and I go online they have like two stars like people hate these drones so I guess that was stupid to this is like a specific product um I don't know I actually liked a lot of what I saw there now I know I and that's the I think like I said we try to be you know anyone knows worked on these products they have spent years you know at least a year if not years working on it trying to make it as perfect as possible and unless it's just a complete knockoff which actually i'll bring that up us yeah it's gonna say yeah unless it's a complete knock off and the FBI raid you on the show floor that was amazing it's hard to totally dislike something that is a fun story and let's not even discuss what the products were but words all right by it was a hoverboard there there was a company that it has the intellectual property rights to a certain hoverboard they've been after another company for months and lo and behold they're both of CES and they're in the same aisle yeah and the company that holds the intellectual property rights called the FBI and said they're here and now as I understood Jacob walked past before the raid and after the raid oh really I didn't you know yes so Jacob walked past it yo he saw me just you know didn't pay much digital he walks by a little bit later in the booth is cleaned out that's funny see I can't imagine how frustrating that must be though for somebody that's no working very hard inventing something and then you go to like CES or you know this come exists that copy to your product just ripped it off completely like identical you go to CES and you see them they're like i can't imagine that would make my blood boil and that's exactly probably what happened well they have all these crazy rules feel like i was reading you have to have like so many like only so many people from your company including lawyers can show up to confront the other companies crazy like the oh i haven't heard about this yeah so i think they had like two lawyers and two representatives from the company you know confront them I don't know it's like the rules of CES so I guess it's like an issue that's happened before obviously I you can only bring in a certain number of lawyers that's kind of amazing yeah i mean you imagine you have like your whole booth running over there yelling at people apparently it's like kindergarten and there's playground rules yeah now Johnny Johnny what did we say about using your outside voice yeah and I think there were language barriers to in this case that's got to be oh yeah but so yeah a full FBI team showed up and cleaned out the booth of everything yeah so yeah that's uh gonna be interesting I will probably never hear the resolution of it but it was definitely it was the talk of the show there for a while yeah do you hear the FBI showed up no no what happens oh no I don't know the craziness of Vegas let me tell you yeah I was just thinking about things I didn't like and I I there's one product it's Cassio's new android we're smarter watch and i was very excited about it first until i heard it's gonna cost like 500 bucks or something or just obscene but this brings me to like it's not something i saw it's not that I didn't like that but I went to the booth for like a demonstration and all too often this happens to CES and all the other shows you have these people that have been trained for like ten minutes it feels like to demo these products for the press and it's very awkward like because they have no idea what they're talking about there you know going through this thing and I was like oh how does this work has that work like how how much battery life does it get and they were like oh seven hours seven hours of battery life like either that's incorrect or it's just obscene why is this even coming the market and they say like so it's Android wear and digital so it has a month of battery life we just leave on digital but seven hours of battery life what do why would I ever want that yeah well I don't want to embarrass the company you know what happened with one situation where i was given a completely erroneous piece of information oh yeah from the booth workers yeah I and it was completely erroneous but believable so I didn't follow up on it a second time which I should have but you know if an employee of a company is flat-out saying ET and that they are not just an outside PR person or booth work or whatever saying you know it will do X I have no reason not to believe that it will do x yeah until the PR firm reaches out to me the next day goes by the way can't see that it doesn't do that but uh yeah so it I agree to that is a frustration you know and I understand yo time constraints but still you know and what I always love is when you ask them this you know they'll go oh I off to check into that and you go back like a day later go did you get a chance checking oh no I didn't yeah that's like my wonderful to that right the empty promise always yeah that that's not I don't know no and that does happen a lot of CEOs and it's unfortunate I mean I now where was it we were somewhere oh it when we were when we first got into the booth Ralph and I were the first ones into the booth to start work and make sure your internet was working on all that a lot of the car companies were running through their presentations before show open man doing rehearsals and that's great I think that's what should be done you know it was nice to hear them doing that yeah because it was only thing it was a little loud with no bodies in the building to absorb the sound but oh so they had to do it you know I I will say this year I would say one of the biggest things was was it just me or was there a lot more traffic yes there was a lot I think the distance between our hotel and the conference center was like two miles or something yeah it would take us one day it took us an hour to get home yeah you'll walk that which is crazy because it also involves as for people haven't been to see yes for us we take I mean we have cars there but you can't really park very easily at the convention center so you can take up a convention center at all yeah across the street yeah so anyway then so what do you do you either take a taxi to take the bus taxi line is insane um and the bus is like for us you know you might wait there for an hour sometimes they're supposed to run every 20 minutes but sometimes I just don't or that you the traffic is so bad going from the convention center of the hotel isn't back like I said takes like an hour that the bus doesn't get there on time so you're just doing like a lot of waiting CS is full of just waiting yeah for I did nothing yeah now I did like it when we went over to showstoppers and I had never gone over to the wind with you guys before so I wasn't aware of the on property shuttle bus oh yeah the wind has this thing we're like it picks up from at the far end of its own property and drives you the hotel which is great yeah it drives you to the front of the the place but I did love the fact you took us longer to get through the hotel to the meteor that took us to walk and ride the bus oh yeah it's crazy you're talking about like what was that what which version of mario is I was on Game Boy I think we're like you have to run through the castle and like you have to get the right you either run up top or bottom and it like dings if you've done the right one like if you run up top and it's correct it's like ding and it doesn't repeat it but if you do it wrong it keeps sending you down the whole hallway again and the wind walking to meeting rooms in that place is like the same thing like this exact same hallway after the exact same hallway after the exact same hallway like 10 times it's really freaky yeah they're there was one point where we were walking through the window was taking so long and I wouldnt I'm at CSI don't have time to work out I've been working a lot lately I decided to start walking as fast as possible i was like i'm gonna get a workout out of this everybody's like oh Sh we must have pissed Shana yeah I know it out once we get there that you guys were all backs are going with this shut off no I was just exercising I'm like screw those steps in right I've got it that's exactly I was getting my steps out I was like oh yeah what it took us 15 minutes to walk there through his hotel it's funny speaking of steps and technology and these you know fitness bands now I was sitting next to somebody at breakfast the other day another couple it wasn't with us and they're talking about that like I got to get to my 10,000 yeah it's my 10,000 steps you know and this is something that didn't exist even like a year ago we had these fitness bands but I didn't feel like it was very common for everybody to see like I gotta get my steps in today that's becoming more and more interesting especially you know the technology it's a yes everything connected yeah it's nuts read Jeff case questions pretty funny and it actually I have an answer for it okay from Jeff k todd has anyone told you that you look like Ralph from A Christmas Story anyways what did you sell while away so my brother I have a twin brother and he has always been called Ralphie and I only just recently started wearing glasses so I guess that's a now it's coming for me too um what did I sell nothing but i did buy a pair of headphones that I probably shouldn't have bought in the airport cuz I didn't have comfortable ones and I didn't have room i bagged four big ones so i might get rid of those i did not know about this yeah their bows in here i want is the first time i've ever used one of those best buy machines you know like the damn yeah like ah uh folks I i I've just received a message from Joey are gaming editor stating Sean I'm sorry I have to take the rest of the day and that's followed by the news that one direction is splitting up ah yes yes and he replies that I just sorry I can't be here right now so I feel his pain are they going so it's not one direction anymore right it's like multiple direction hey there you go you hit the nail on the head dispersing and and he just Joey just added looks like they went in separate directly Jeff I did see he hang 184 human-sized rome by the way we steal that question that thing looked awesome if so they say anything about furthering weight capacity could hold a I didn't um I honestly just went there to take a picture of it like for myself and to say hey i saw this Roy our managing editor picked up the brochure which might have more information on it but I really just want to see this thing it's this drone that can carry humans like what is it like five to 10 miles so you know just hop in it and go somewhere I guess but it looked cool yeah I ain't shaky though I would never I don't think I could get I I could never get it all first off I'm over the weight limit but secondly the idea of it okay self-driving cars I can kind of get behind getting into a ton of us drone yeah to me is like well you remembered futurama the suicide machines yeah yeah that's what it would feel like to you no offense to hang I hope it works not for me yeah um I mean I guess the funny thing is these days like planes can you gotta fly themselves right like a pilot's there but I actually there was at one point in my flight the other day that you know how they now block off the access to the cab so they can come and go to the bathroom weather so I've watched that and so the pilot comes out he uses the restroom get some food goes back in and the doors open the copilot's sitting sideways in his seat got even looking at the instruments exactly I'm like yeah this makes me feel comfortable I'm I'm okay with this somebody look at the instruments yeah I mean it's gotta get boring right here's like okay we're fine i I'm sorry but if you got a Plane full of 180 or so people look at the tape instruments look at the damn it's true it's I want your hands at to Ted and I want you to look at those instruments so the idea of getting in the e hang and yo I'm off to work and this autonomous vehicle that is fly through there and I have no control over yeah means the Jetsons it is the Jetsons but like in the worst possible way yeah uh Jeff case says asks what's worse One Direction splitting up or Sean being stuck in the basement with a ghost behind him um on being stuck in the basement with this ghost me yeah well first off I'm not in a basement but uh and we don't talk about Henry hey I've named my sheet but no definitely one direction breaking up I mean it's that that's a tragedy that just is the the world will never recover from uh interesting question from such a Mahal and we'll we'll be wrapping up here this week since you have the echo does the Amazon echo only work well if you are an Amazon Prime member and that's an interesting question because then you wouldn't have prime music right yeah so you just wouldn't have access to that but it would still work well I primarily use mine for for my lights and you know random things like what's the weather today so yeah which lichens I just those Todd the echo is missing from your shelf did she moved it actually it's now uh X to the TV there ok one more central location because for whatever reason it doesn't listen to my wife and it used to be on the shelf here and I thought well maybe that's why it doesn't she's like turn on the living room lights it's like there are several lights you know like name and she's just like I give up so I'm not moving it somewhere else woodworking does it so essentially the echo and you shared that in common that you don't listen to your life oh geez yeah for both like I had all this thanks I'm here all week
