WEBVTT

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.380
Hey, Chris. Hey, John. How are you? I'm much

00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:41.240
better right now. You'd be even better if that

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.460
hardware was working. Yeah. We'll talk about

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:49.119
that later. Hey, Jason. Hello. Nice to have you

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.340
here with us. Yeah. Thank you. I hear you just

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.719
got back from somewhere. I was up in the mitten,

00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.140
as we say. Up in the mitten. Yep. Michigan, shaped

00:00:57.140 --> 00:00:59.060
like a mitten. I was thinking about going up

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:02.920
in the mitten at the end of this week, but the...

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.620
Flight prices are too high. What were you going

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.519
to do in the mitten? I was going to go to a funeral.

00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:17.280
Oh. Yeah. All right. Our friend Chad's grandmother

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.000
died. Oh, okay. And right now she's from Wisconsin.

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:24.540
Well, not from Wisconsin. She's lived in Wisconsin

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.400
for a really long time. Yeah. But she's been

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.620
in the mitten for a little while. Yeah. And that's

00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:36.299
where they're going to bury her, I think. Gotcha.

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:40.120
Okay. Anyway, not to Debbie Downer that whole

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.500
thing. I did the same thing while I was up there

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.680
as well. Oh, okay. Well, it happens. As one does

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.599
when they go into the mitten. I guess. Just bury

00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:58.420
somebody. Cool. Anyway, so can I be presumptuous

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:02.159
here and just ask, what did you bring us? Oh,

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:04.459
they were going to start right off at the beginning.

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.540
Well, it's where we, this is where we, you should

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:09.340
know of all people, there's a format here. I

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:12.219
do. I do know there's a format here. I was, I

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:15.520
was playing, uh, you know, the moonshine runner.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.300
What are they called? What is the name of those

00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.719
guys? Yeah. I was doing that for Chris with beer

00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.599
running shine. Yeah. Cross straight line across

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.639
state lines. I'm just saying a real Dukes of

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.370
hazard. So I did bring a beer to share. Nice.

00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:33.270
Yes. One from a brewery in Holland, Michigan.

00:02:33.569 --> 00:02:35.750
Holland, Michigan. That isn't New Holland Brewing.

00:02:35.750 --> 00:02:40.909
In a bag called Taste of Texas. Well, it's insulated.

00:02:40.990 --> 00:02:43.370
That way I can keep things cold. I appreciate

00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:45.330
what you're doing for us here. So here we are.

00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:48.969
That's funny. This is a brewery that doesn't

00:02:48.969 --> 00:02:52.129
distribute outside of Michigan. Okay. At all.

00:02:52.229 --> 00:02:55.349
So this is not something we can get around here.

00:02:55.370 --> 00:02:59.990
No, it's not. Not from around here. Okay. Okay.

00:03:00.310 --> 00:03:03.930
Okay. Thank you. This is exciting. It's called

00:03:03.930 --> 00:03:08.590
Big Lake Brewing. Yes. Not brewery. Brewing.

00:03:08.590 --> 00:03:11.909
Big Lake Brewing. Double fudgy. Double fudgy

00:03:11.909 --> 00:03:15.030
oatmeal stout. Barrel -aged. Barrel -aged. It

00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:18.969
is barrel -aged, so, you know. Yeah. Maybe the

00:03:18.969 --> 00:03:24.120
bourbon will drown out the oatmeal. They have

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.719
two versions of this. They have the non -barrel

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.280
aged version. Why would you even drink that?

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.099
Which comes in around a 5 ABV. Yeah. This guy

00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:36.699
is, this pint. This pint. They come in pints?

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.060
They come in pints. This pint is, I don't even

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.979
see the ABV. 11. Oh, there it is. It goes to

00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:47.280
11. It goes to 11. Yes. And it's an 8 IBU, so

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.610
we are not going to. feel this going down at

00:03:50.610 --> 00:03:56.469
all. Double the deliciousness with our barrel

00:03:56.469 --> 00:04:03.629
-aged oatmeal stout dripping with hints of oatmeal,

00:04:03.870 --> 00:04:09.310
chocolate, and German malts for a decadent dose

00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:11.909
of body. I don't see how you're reading. It's

00:04:11.909 --> 00:04:18.389
not my eyes. It's brown on brown, guys. I don't

00:04:18.389 --> 00:04:19.850
know how you're supposed to be able to read that.

00:04:20.170 --> 00:04:22.970
It's goldish. You have to be from the mitten,

00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.370
maybe. Yeah. They should have used that. You

00:04:26.370 --> 00:04:31.129
need the light. That, like, gold. Yes. This is

00:04:31.129 --> 00:04:34.350
a well -lit room. It's not that. Decadent dose

00:04:34.350 --> 00:04:36.949
of body and slight sweetness. Well, there you

00:04:36.949 --> 00:04:38.509
go. I want to know how they got the IBU down

00:04:38.509 --> 00:04:40.790
to eight. Yeah, I mean, that feels like it's.

00:04:40.829 --> 00:04:44.449
That feels like a lie. One, two, three. Yep.

00:04:47.149 --> 00:04:52.649
Oh, fail. Oh, Chris. You didn't get it? No. Got

00:04:52.649 --> 00:04:55.930
it that time. Well, the good news is it's not

00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:58.089
a nitro, so you didn't just ruin something. That's

00:04:58.089 --> 00:05:01.589
true. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Oh, wow.

00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:04.589
Jason's going to have to wait for a while because

00:05:04.589 --> 00:05:09.769
he poured his. He poured a milkshake. It does

00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:12.949
have a milkshake -ish kind of smell to it. That

00:05:12.949 --> 00:05:15.889
is a dessert beer. Don't give it away just yet.

00:05:16.509 --> 00:05:18.709
I'm sorry. Go ahead. I'm still breathing it in.

00:05:18.949 --> 00:05:22.730
So you should definitely smell that. Oh my goodness.

00:05:22.810 --> 00:05:25.930
You weren't kidding about the chocolate milkshake

00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:28.290
though. That's what it smells like to me. That's

00:05:28.290 --> 00:05:30.790
what it looks like in your glass. All right,

00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:39.850
here we go. Yeah. Oh my gosh. There's some chocolate

00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:42.009
in there. There's more sugar in that than I feel

00:05:42.009 --> 00:05:45.310
like. Than there should be. Wow. That's how they

00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:47.009
killed the IBU. That's how they killed the IBU.

00:05:47.009 --> 00:05:50.889
They were like, listen. Some people use sugar

00:05:50.889 --> 00:05:54.550
in their process, but we really use. It's like

00:05:54.550 --> 00:05:57.069
the difference between sweet tea and other places.

00:05:57.209 --> 00:05:59.069
And then like you go to McAllister's and you

00:05:59.069 --> 00:06:03.410
see them pour. Yes. The like five gallon thing

00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:06.029
of it. Yeah. You got some crackers over there?

00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:08.720
Yeah. He's got a... I got a different treat.

00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.019
He's got another secret. There's... My dad has

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:14.379
been in the restaurant business for years. Okay.

00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:18.779
And he... I don't know when it happened. It's

00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:22.120
probably in my teen years. Mixed up a cheese

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:27.959
spread of his own making. Concoction. And we

00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:29.620
always joked that it was something he could sell.

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.920
The grandkids liked it so much, whenever they

00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.699
came over, they'd say... Is there any Papa's

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:40.839
cheese? So I brought, so you're selling Papa's

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.560
cheese, selling Papa's cheese. I just brought

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.519
some with me. What does it take for us to buy

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.500
Papa's cheese? But this could be the beginning

00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.759
of an exit strategy. I am just saying, how do

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.759
we mass produce Papa's cheese? I don't know yet.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.199
Okay, well let's work on that. The same way we

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.920
mass produce that, um, beer and gear stout. Yeah.

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.620
Oh my God. Exit strategy. Yeah. But we actually

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:06.089
have like a recipe for this. Well, we can come

00:07:06.089 --> 00:07:07.649
up with a recipe for a beer. I'm not saying we

00:07:07.649 --> 00:07:11.069
can't. We just don't have it yet. And I have

00:07:11.069 --> 00:07:14.149
a chaser. A chaser. That is a very sweet beer.

00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:16.750
This is going to be a very exciting episode.

00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:23.629
Oh, look at that. Dragon's Milk Reserve, baby.

00:07:23.810 --> 00:07:26.550
I decided to share. I really appreciate that.

00:07:26.709 --> 00:07:30.370
Yes. I will pay you what I owe you. Which is?

00:07:30.730 --> 00:07:35.339
I don't know. Whatever a beer costs. Not that

00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:37.740
one beer. Holy cow. How much was that? Save room.

00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.199
So there was a, I know you talked about on the

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.860
last episode, the dragon's milk had a collaboration

00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:47.500
with dungeon, the dragons, and they made a beer

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:52.379
called the D 20 and it was a 20 % ABV 20%. I

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:57.860
told somebody 50%, 20 % comes in a 22 ounce wax

00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:01.240
sealed bottle. Okay. See, for some reason, when

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.480
you told me the price, I thought it was a, a

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.819
16 ounce bottle or something. Well, 22 wasn't

00:08:06.819 --> 00:08:08.899
much more than 16. Yeah. But I was thinking like

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:12.759
a can. No, this is a bottle. Okay. And it, uh,

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:18.100
at the pub where they make it was 49 99. Oh yeah.

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.220
That's a, I was telling Chris, that's a, you

00:08:21.220 --> 00:08:23.779
know, my sister likes to talk about sipping tequilas.

00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:26.100
This is too nice to just take a shot. This is

00:08:26.100 --> 00:08:28.759
a sipping tequila. So that's a sipping beer.

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:30.439
And you've got to finish it because once you

00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.539
crack it open, you've committed. You can't put

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:35.000
that back in the bottle. No. So it's a whole

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.440
day beer. So, well, I mean, the triple mash is

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.919
18 and some change on the ABV. Yeah. Which you've

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.179
sampled on the show. Yes. It was really nice.

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.820
If I wasn't in a rush to go to all the places

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.879
I was going that day, I probably would have just

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.659
sat down and tried some because they serve it

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:56.720
in a five ounce glass at the bar. For $20. For

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.879
$10. You can get five ounces of this for $25.

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.899
Yeah. We feel like that's fair. But then I went

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:07.879
to the package store to find, well, that's where

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.019
I found this. And they had the D20 at the package

00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:13.580
store. It was $60 a bottle. When you say package

00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:17.000
store, you're not talking about Pier 1. No, I'm

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.519
talking about in Texas, they would call it what?

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.139
Drive -thru liquor store. There's no drive -thru

00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:24.779
liquor stores in Michigan. There are here. But

00:09:24.779 --> 00:09:26.340
they just call them party stores or packaged

00:09:26.340 --> 00:09:32.360
liquor stores. What? Yeah. So just like a convenience

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.399
store. It was called King's Cove in Holland,

00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:37.419
Michigan. And all they sell is beer. I mean,

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:41.220
it's a beer wine liquor store. Yeah. It's a beer

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:43.220
wine. It's a liquor store. Don't church it up.

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:45.279
It's a liquor store. But it's called a package

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.059
store. Package store. Yeah. Yeah. Because you're

00:09:47.059 --> 00:09:49.220
buying it in a package. And it's the same thing

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.179
when we've been in Georgia. I think that means

00:09:51.179 --> 00:09:53.769
something different in California. Different

00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:56.710
states have very weird rules about stuff. In

00:09:56.710 --> 00:10:00.049
Tennessee, I don't think you can sell alcohol

00:10:00.049 --> 00:10:02.129
in a grocery store. So there's always the wine

00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:07.750
stores next to the grocery store. We like to

00:10:07.750 --> 00:10:10.409
joke that Smith County is moist. It's not wet.

00:10:11.009 --> 00:10:15.509
Because we were dry for the longest time. When

00:10:15.509 --> 00:10:18.970
we first came. I mean, you grew up in dry Smith

00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:24.570
County. But at some point. I don't know. Not

00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:28.549
20 years ago. Not even 20 years ago. It became

00:10:28.549 --> 00:10:31.990
moist. Yes. And you could sell beer and wine.

00:10:32.389 --> 00:10:35.809
Yep. At the grocery stores of all places. Yeah.

00:10:36.269 --> 00:10:39.509
Anyway. It was a big deal. Because you can't

00:10:39.509 --> 00:10:41.289
have liquor stores. Right. You're not allowed

00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:44.309
to sell it. My hometown was dry until I think

00:10:44.309 --> 00:10:46.070
the year before I moved to Texas. You got to

00:10:46.070 --> 00:10:49.049
go Coffee City for that. Yeah. I don't think

00:10:49.049 --> 00:10:52.340
that that's right. In the north, I feel like

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:55.500
if you are going to have bitter winters, you're

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.000
not allowed to be dry. Well, our town was dry

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.120
completely, and our county was dry on Sundays.

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.799
Well, okay, that's still a thing. But that has

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:06.860
changed since then, and the town I'm in is no

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:11.200
longer dry. I think we can get beer on Sundays.

00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.759
You just can't get the hard liquor. Yeah, that's

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.559
true. Liquor stores are not open on Sundays in

00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:22.100
the counties around. Smith County. Correct. The

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:26.240
old church ladies would have a fit. Yes, they

00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.259
would. Excuse me. This might not be your thing.

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.320
There are occasionally people who don't like

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.879
it. But they're wrong. I would say they're wrong.

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:39.279
But nobody likes a quitter. Cademan doesn't care

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.360
for it. Really? Which is intriguing. Yeah. Never

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.620
quit on your beer. Never quit on your cheese

00:11:44.620 --> 00:11:47.240
dip. Hold on. You mean this soda we're drinking?

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:50.980
Yes, the milkshake. It's a milkshake. It's good,

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.200
though. It's like a milkshake and a Dr. Pepper.

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:56.879
You know, my father -in -law would refer to it

00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.039
as barley pop. Oh, my gosh. Barley pop. This

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:10.120
smells amazing. ASMR. It is really good. You

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.659
will not stop eating it. At least if you like

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:18.460
it like most people do. Yeah, we're in trouble.

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:23.580
Okay, Jason's dad. Mr. Court, I have a proposal.

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:29.240
I will send you money. You just have to put some

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.340
of this. No, it's going to have to be this big.

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.919
The Yoplait original thing that you sent home.

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:40.539
Is that a court container? No, I made that. You

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:46.110
made this? Yeah. All right, Mr. Court. But I

00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:47.769
can't claim that I invented it. I got a deal

00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:52.570
for you. I will give you money. There are some

00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:57.210
elements in that that... Oh my gosh, it just

00:12:57.210 --> 00:12:59.110
smells so good. Like if you try... I know you

00:12:59.110 --> 00:13:00.370
have because you haven't been on the show. Give

00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:02.649
me the crackers. I'd like to... I'm curious how

00:13:02.649 --> 00:13:04.710
it is on pretzels. Have you had the crab dip

00:13:04.710 --> 00:13:10.240
at Fresh? There's notes of that flavor in there.

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:13.460
Minus the crab. But it's whatever else they put

00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:17.379
in the dip. It's seven herbs and seasonings.

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:22.379
Or eleven. Don't give numbers. I don't even know

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:23.259
if that's accurate. There are people who are

00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:28.039
going to try to make this. As soon as we start

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.100
selling it. It's good on all sorts of crackers.

00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:37.659
I like it on... grilled pork chops. I've not

00:13:37.659 --> 00:13:41.799
put it on a hamburger yet, but it's good on some

00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.539
grilled white meat. You know, chicken, pork.

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:53.860
Moving on. But I've never tried it on a pretzel.

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.279
I would think it would be all right. John's not

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.639
going to let go. He took over the whole container.

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:06.370
I'm sorry. Did y 'all want some of this? Well,

00:14:06.370 --> 00:14:10.950
congratulations, guys, on 50. Yeah, that's right.

00:14:11.090 --> 00:14:13.210
We didn't even think about that. This is episode

00:14:13.210 --> 00:14:16.769
50. Oh, you got. This is a heck of a way to.

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:18.590
I need the. We need sound effects. Crickets.

00:14:18.669 --> 00:14:20.570
Oh, sorry. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

00:14:21.289 --> 00:14:23.090
I'm going to get over here real quick. Where's

00:14:23.090 --> 00:14:30.870
it at? Oh, that's muted. 50 whole episodes. 50

00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:33.779
whole episodes. I wasn't going to show up just

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:35.980
for nothing. That's right. There's something

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:39.600
going on here. But if Jason wasn't here, that

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:48.940
would be terrible. I have missed the ability

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:52.299
to send boostograms. Yeah. I know that's kind

00:14:52.299 --> 00:14:54.519
of a little bit of a salt in the wound type thing.

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.899
That is a salt in the wound. But there's cheese

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:59.600
dip. We've got to get that going again. Well,

00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:01.379
the cheese dip is like a salve on the wound.

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:05.539
Yeah, Pops is making this endurable right now.

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:09.620
I would know he's eating it all. Yeah, I know.

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:14.059
Mr. ASMR. I just got one more cracker. Just give

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:16.080
me a second. Okay, I'm going to take this out

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.320
of reach. He starts shoving his finger down in

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.899
there. That would be bad. Fine, you can have

00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:26.600
it. I take it you like it. It's so good. See,

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.539
I share with the group. I got to try the pretzel.

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:40.720
Oh, my goodness. It's good. Well, that is not

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.620
what I expected to be doing this episode. This

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:47.059
is the food episode. I'm glad I'm bringing surprises.

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:52.100
I mean, for real. What is it that Caveman doesn't

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:57.340
like? Is it a consistency thing? I think one

00:15:57.340 --> 00:16:00.029
of the ingredients kind of gets to him. Okay.

00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:04.610
Although I don't think he would care much about

00:16:04.610 --> 00:16:08.929
it if he didn't know what it was. Although he's

00:16:08.929 --> 00:16:11.309
pretty good at deciphering some of those flavors,

00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:12.950
though, too. So I don't know that that's actually

00:16:12.950 --> 00:16:17.210
true. He can probably pick it out. That has been

00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:23.909
a... I want my son, my children, to enjoy the

00:16:23.909 --> 00:16:26.700
food that I enjoy. I want them to partake of

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:29.399
the goodness of whatever. But Micah just like

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.399
he can't with certain foods. Yep. And I try really

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.919
hard to be like, no, you're really going to like

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.700
this. It's going to be great. And it just doesn't

00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:39.600
go down that way. He just can't. He can't. And

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.419
especially if he's convinced himself that he's

00:16:41.419 --> 00:16:43.779
not going to like it. Yeah. Usually because of

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:46.600
the way that it looks. But if he's convinced

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.139
himself that he's not going to like it, it is

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:52.539
really hard to overcome that. Yeah. Yeah. Which

00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:59.309
is sad. But also, more for me. Yeah. True. Hard

00:16:59.309 --> 00:17:01.370
to argue with that. We had that happen with mashed

00:17:01.370 --> 00:17:05.150
potatoes. One bad experience. And the potatoes

00:17:05.150 --> 00:17:09.130
were ruined for about 10 years or more. Wow.

00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:11.930
But it has turned around, finally. Mashed potatoes

00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:16.990
are great. I mean, butter. Yes. Lots of butter.

00:17:17.329 --> 00:17:20.990
With cheese. With cheese. Yeah, you do like the

00:17:20.990 --> 00:17:24.049
loaded mashed potatoes that they do at some steakhouses

00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:26.549
now because, I don't know, baked potatoes are

00:17:26.549 --> 00:17:29.329
too complicated. What is that? Or the twice -baked

00:17:29.329 --> 00:17:31.410
potato. Oh, twice -baked potatoes are kind of

00:17:31.410 --> 00:17:35.950
ridiculous. My sister -in -law makes executive

00:17:35.950 --> 00:17:39.670
potatoes, and they are delicious. Look it up.

00:17:39.730 --> 00:17:44.049
So good. I will have to. I like the auger. Or

00:17:44.049 --> 00:17:48.089
however it's pronounced. Auger? Yeah. I don't

00:17:48.089 --> 00:17:50.049
know. We're in East Texas. Cheese, potatoes.

00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:52.390
Don't expect. When I was a kid, it was like,

00:17:52.470 --> 00:17:55.650
it was the all awful potatoes, but they were

00:17:55.650 --> 00:18:00.809
so good. So good. Gooey cheese potatoes. Booshy,

00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:04.029
yeah. Are we just like all hungry or something?

00:18:04.250 --> 00:18:09.329
I mean, it must be. Did you eat? Yeah, because

00:18:09.329 --> 00:18:11.670
I knew what I was going to be drinking. I didn't

00:18:11.670 --> 00:18:15.509
eat. Because I've been fasting today and I'm

00:18:15.509 --> 00:18:18.009
like. It would not be wise to drink this on an

00:18:18.009 --> 00:18:20.089
empty stomach. Yeah, I didn't know what we were

00:18:20.089 --> 00:18:22.309
drinking, but I wouldn't have been able to. I

00:18:22.309 --> 00:18:26.369
was too busy. Doing stuff? Doing stuff. It's

00:18:26.369 --> 00:18:29.230
fine. Well, fill up. I'm going to take some of

00:18:29.230 --> 00:18:30.950
those pretzels if you just hand them out. I think

00:18:30.950 --> 00:18:32.730
I prefer the crackers in the cheese, but the

00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:34.309
pretzels are pretty good. Yeah, I think it does

00:18:34.309 --> 00:18:36.730
match better with the crackers. It's the butter,

00:18:36.769 --> 00:18:40.730
isn't it? That is not an ingredient in the cheese.

00:18:40.730 --> 00:18:43.279
It's just the fact that it's crackers. No. I

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.019
bet there's cheese in it, though. There is. I

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:48.140
bet there's milk in it. In the cheese. In the

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:50.539
cheese. There better be. I didn't add milk to

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:53.319
it. If this cheese doesn't have milk in it, then

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.619
we're, what are we, Velveeta? Impossible cheese.

00:18:56.059 --> 00:19:00.960
Oh, no, thank you. Although I don't think I can

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.180
say that. That's like the trademark brand. Really?

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.640
Yeah, it probably is. An impossible cheese? Using

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.319
the word impossible in front of it. The improbable.

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:15.500
Improbable cheese. Yes. It's improbably delicious.

00:19:15.500 --> 00:19:22.140
We didn't expect this cheese. It is good. It's

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:26.220
good. What he's not going to do, however, though,

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:29.779
is share the recipe. Not presently. It's an ancient

00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:32.799
Chinese secret. So in the modern era, what's

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.460
the first thing you would do with a business

00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:38.660
idea? Keep it secret? Keep it safe. No, apart

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:44.640
from that. You might actually change what your

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.460
product is called if you can't procure this one

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:53.519
thing. What is it, Chris? I'm supposed to know

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.759
it? Well, there's trademarking, but you might

00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.420
actually do a search for available URLs before

00:20:00.420 --> 00:20:06.059
naming a product. That's a good idea. Yeah. So

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:09.000
yeah, step one was to procure popperscheese .com.

00:20:09.180 --> 00:20:14.400
Oh, yes, true. Which has happened. Correct? It

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.980
has. I'm telling you, this is the beginning of

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:20.880
the exit strategy. Well, now we just got to make

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.660
a, it just doesn't resolve to anything because

00:20:22.660 --> 00:20:25.819
there's nothing there yet. LLC in, what is it?

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:31.079
Delaware. Delaware or, is it Montana? Or Wyoming,

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:33.339
one of the other ones. I know Delaware's. There's

00:20:33.339 --> 00:20:35.099
Delaware and there's another one. Delaware's

00:20:35.099 --> 00:20:37.880
got some weird rules. That's exactly right. Allow

00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.460
you to cheat your employees out of all their

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:43.700
money. Yep. If your business moves to Delaware,

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.720
get out. Quit. Yeah. We're not going to build

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.599
it there. Take your pension. Yeah. Get out fast.

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:59.289
Anyway. So we've covered the beer. Sort of. We've

00:20:59.289 --> 00:21:00.869
covered the first beer. I'm kind of going through

00:21:00.869 --> 00:21:03.670
my hit list of how this show plays out when I

00:21:03.670 --> 00:21:06.829
listen to it. Well, the dynamic changes when

00:21:06.829 --> 00:21:08.730
there's another person here. That's true. It

00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:12.130
for sure does. That's true. But we still have

00:21:12.130 --> 00:21:17.509
to get to the bread and butter of this show.

00:21:18.569 --> 00:21:22.269
Well, no, that failed. We have crunchy bread

00:21:22.269 --> 00:21:26.329
and we have liquid. Sorry, crunchy and liquid

00:21:26.329 --> 00:21:28.730
bread. Yes. We were going to talk about this

00:21:28.730 --> 00:21:34.369
RODECaster Video S that I got, but I got it at

00:21:34.369 --> 00:21:38.190
4 o 'clock today, and I started working madly

00:21:38.190 --> 00:21:44.450
trying to get it to be up for this show. At about

00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:49.589
4 o 'clock today for myself, my Chicago Bears

00:21:49.589 --> 00:21:54.279
NFC North Championship arrived. Oh. Yeah. Look

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.920
at that. A little pre -celebration. But no, then

00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.660
we went and laid an egg against Detroit. Good

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:07.660
Lord. So. So I guess you want to talk about the

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:12.059
book. Optimism never dies. I almost said optimum

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:14.240
never dies. And it sure does. I did the other

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.759
day. Yeah, because of the gunshot. That's what

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.000
I'm hearing. That's what I heard too. Okay. Like.

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:23.319
How hard was it for us not to post at that moment

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.960
so somebody finally did it? I want to know what

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:31.460
they shot. They walked into the store. Did they

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:33.319
walk into a server room? Did they shoot fiber

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:34.740
out on the pole? I was wondering if they shot

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:36.519
it at the pole. Just take it down. That's probably

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.539
what happened, but I had other visions in my

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:45.539
head. Shoot that bird, Tommy. Bam. Why is that

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:47.930
sparking? Well, if it was fiber, it wouldn't

00:22:47.930 --> 00:22:49.529
do that either. Whatever it was, it was pretty

00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:53.589
serious because it was down for almost 12 hours,

00:22:53.630 --> 00:22:55.609
if not a little bit more. Gunshot wounds are

00:22:55.609 --> 00:22:58.490
very serious, Chris, especially to fiber, as

00:22:58.490 --> 00:23:02.170
we know. Yeah, but fiber is an easy fix. But

00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:05.630
I just want to say out loud that guns don't kill

00:23:05.630 --> 00:23:10.690
fiber. People kill fiber. Have we ever fixed

00:23:10.690 --> 00:23:14.190
fiber in under 12 hours? I mean, you're saying

00:23:14.190 --> 00:23:16.819
it's an easy fix, but. I mean, easy, yes, but

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:23.660
fast, maybe not. We could certainly do it. I

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:25.680
agree. There has to be some, like, searching

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.720
for the gun or gunshot, sorry. Well, I mean,

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.240
they have, I would like to think that they have

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.920
better tools to more quickly diagnose where the

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.240
problem occurred. That's cute. That's a great

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.299
assumption. They should with as much money as

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:44.880
we pay them. Oh, I agree. They should know in

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.400
a moment's notice, oh, problem there, go fix

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:52.160
it. I realize the challenge is getting the guy

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:58.039
who's off to now come in and do the work. Because

00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:00.119
I'm not doing that. But boss, you said I could

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.940
go home. Yep. Yeah, anyway. I guess in fairness,

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.440
they probably, if it was fiber, they had to fuse

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.799
far more strands than we've ever had to fuse.

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:13.799
That's for sure. Because they were probably,

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:19.059
depending on where it is in the plant, hundreds

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:22.339
of strands, depending on what they do and how

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:27.420
they do and where. And we don't have that much

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:30.420
in any one run. And they might be fusing ribbon.

00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:37.400
True. Ribbon. Versus loose tube. Yep. Yep. Those

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.640
are words. They mean something. They mean things.

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:46.660
They mean things. Yes, they do. And pretzels

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:53.019
are crunchy. Yes. Pretzels are good. Saw a guy

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:57.220
splicing fiber the other day. It didn't take

00:24:57.220 --> 00:25:01.339
very long. How many was he splicing? Just two.

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:11.059
Around here somewhere? At an office. Fresh install.

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:19.339
It was great. Mostly because that little machine

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:23.359
is so cool. If it wasn't for all the Wi -Fi,

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:28.059
it'd be fibered to the desk. Yeah. Well, the

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:30.740
way the next batch of Wi -Fi is going to go,

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:34.380
you may as well call it fiber to the disk with

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:37.059
the throughput that they're achieving. What are

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:42.660
you saying? That wireless is definitely exceeding

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:46.819
the realistic throughput of a copper drop and

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:53.059
is about to hit pretty darn close to realistically

00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:59.200
somewhere between 5 and 10 gig. At what point

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.839
is the brain cancer detectably growing? Oh, it's

00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.079
already happening. It's already happening. I'm

00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.980
convinced that Wi -Fi has contributed to it,

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.539
without a doubt. Are you talking about scientifically

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:13.640
measurable growth, or are you talking like visually

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:17.500
measurable growth? All of the above. Oh, no.

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:20.680
Cover all my bases. Just throw it out there.

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:23.500
Okay, so if you're not already wearing the tinfoil

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:27.900
helmet, it's time to start. Jump on that bandwagon.

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:32.859
We watched Signs the other day. I'm sorry. The

00:26:32.859 --> 00:26:36.559
tinfoil. The part where, you know, the kids keep

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.680
wearing the tinfoil hats or whatever, but then

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:43.019
the uncle wears it. But then Joaquin. Yeah, Phoenix.

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:45.880
Phoenix. Yeah, he puts it on. Pahonix. Yeah.

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.660
The scene where he's in the middle of them with

00:26:49.660 --> 00:26:53.920
the. Anyway, that was pretty funny. Why don't

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.539
you give us a preview of the books? Which books?

00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.720
Lord of the Rings? Dune? Hunter S. Thompson?

00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.539
Yes, that one. If you're eccentric. Ender's Game.

00:27:07.059 --> 00:27:10.900
Ooh, that's a good one too. Yes. Speaker for

00:27:10.900 --> 00:27:15.200
the Dead. All right, we'll shift. Shadow of Ender.

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:20.579
Or Ender's Shadow. Have you ever read Palma 2

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:22.799
Pro? No, I haven't. Well, I guess you'll find

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:26.730
out tonight. You got a color screen over there?

00:27:27.109 --> 00:27:32.269
Yes, color e -ink. Do you have to pay a premium?

00:27:32.309 --> 00:27:34.609
So should I be looking at this camera here? No.

00:27:34.970 --> 00:27:37.150
Where's my camera? That's your camera. There's

00:27:37.150 --> 00:27:41.069
no cue light. So what we have for you tonight

00:27:41.069 --> 00:27:47.769
is a quick review of the Palma 2 Pro by Books.

00:27:49.170 --> 00:27:52.630
I know you can't see it out there, but... I'll

00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:55.470
pretend the camera is recording. Basically, you

00:27:55.470 --> 00:28:00.190
can think of this as a phone size e -ink tablet.

00:28:01.890 --> 00:28:04.150
Don't think of it as a phone. No, no, no, no,

00:28:04.150 --> 00:28:06.609
no, no. It's not a phone. It's close. Not a phone.

00:28:06.609 --> 00:28:08.410
It's incredibly close, but it's not a phone.

00:28:09.609 --> 00:28:14.349
So this has a 6 .13 inch screen. It has a Snapdragon

00:28:14.349 --> 00:28:18.930
processor. That's an Android thing, right? I

00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:21.670
don't know. Snapdragon is Qualcomm. Qualcomm.

00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.359
I just don't. But it does exist in Android. Okay.

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.900
It's essentially the cousin of the processors

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:30.759
that you like. But we won't hold that against

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.220
you. Like an ARM system. ARM -based. There you

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:35.059
go. ARM -based, yes. There you go. Just making

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:37.059
sure I understand. ARM, yes. There you go. ARM,

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:39.200
ARM, ARM. Wacky, wavy, inflatable, arm -flailing

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:43.299
tube men. Yes. But it's got the ARM processor.

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:49.730
It's got 8 gigs of RAM. It runs Android with

00:28:49.730 --> 00:28:53.069
the Books OS on top of it, basically, for the

00:28:53.069 --> 00:28:56.769
interface. What's the Books OS look like? It

00:28:56.769 --> 00:29:00.230
looks like an Android, in my opinion. Yeah, it's

00:29:00.230 --> 00:29:01.930
just kind of simplified. There's some slight

00:29:01.930 --> 00:29:05.029
variation to it. I was curious what the color

00:29:05.029 --> 00:29:08.869
looked like. Yeah, so the color is very... Subdued.

00:29:09.369 --> 00:29:12.349
Subdued. Muted. Muted is where I was going. Pastelly?

00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:15.890
Yeah, pastelly. I could buy that. I could buy

00:29:15.890 --> 00:29:21.049
that. I want to preface, and I'm not trying to

00:29:21.049 --> 00:29:23.349
say anything bad about the device. I think the

00:29:23.349 --> 00:29:26.150
device is great. I think what I have learned

00:29:26.150 --> 00:29:29.990
is that this device ultimately would not work

00:29:29.990 --> 00:29:32.569
for what I want to achieve. And I'll get into

00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:34.230
that. It has more to do with the size of the

00:29:34.230 --> 00:29:39.529
screen and some of the pieces. But I would say

00:29:39.529 --> 00:29:42.670
if you are looking for a phone -sized e -ink

00:29:42.670 --> 00:29:46.450
tablet, I think this could be a really good fit

00:29:46.450 --> 00:29:50.869
for a lot of people. I think the biggest linchpin

00:29:50.869 --> 00:29:53.690
for me is when it comes to notes. Not that you

00:29:53.690 --> 00:29:55.670
can't put notes on here, but because the screen

00:29:55.670 --> 00:29:59.750
is much smaller, you can't get as much on there.

00:29:59.910 --> 00:30:03.730
Now, where I see this being great, like if I

00:30:03.730 --> 00:30:06.730
was going to... write out a to -do list or if

00:30:06.730 --> 00:30:09.789
I've got to write out my grocery list or I'm

00:30:09.789 --> 00:30:11.549
going to Best Buy and I've got to get these things

00:30:11.549 --> 00:30:14.170
or I've got my Christmas list, I think it's perfect

00:30:14.170 --> 00:30:18.329
for that type of notes in lists. But if you're

00:30:18.329 --> 00:30:21.410
wanting to sit in an actual meeting and really

00:30:21.410 --> 00:30:24.309
take notes, you're going to run out of screen

00:30:24.309 --> 00:30:26.390
real estate really, really fast. That's what

00:30:26.390 --> 00:30:31.369
AI is for. Don't talk to me about AI. I would

00:30:31.369 --> 00:30:34.299
have issues, I think, with my palm. Not having

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:36.380
a place to rest. I have to set it down. Well,

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:38.799
you can still get your hand on it and write and

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:42.099
it not be an issue. Yeah. Now, I will say, and

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:45.359
I'll show you because I have horrible handwriting.

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:49.880
So, let me open up a new note. Sorry for those

00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.799
of you at home that can't see this. So, I'm going

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:56.140
to write in cursive. Uh -oh. You're going to

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:59.660
write longhand. Longhand. My version of cursive.

00:30:59.660 --> 00:31:01.829
Not necessarily everybody else's. Okay. You're

00:31:01.829 --> 00:31:03.710
going to keep the pen on the paper as you're

00:31:03.710 --> 00:31:07.490
writing. I think that's the goal. Yeah. Well,

00:31:07.509 --> 00:31:10.589
yeah. So, I mean, let me start over since you're

00:31:10.589 --> 00:31:13.490
going to be meticulous about it. All right, here

00:31:13.490 --> 00:31:19.569
we go. Nope, that's printing. No, it's not. No,

00:31:19.609 --> 00:31:22.809
it's not. Don't give me that. It's not. You're

00:31:22.809 --> 00:31:25.230
right. All kinds of just throwing shade over

00:31:25.230 --> 00:31:27.700
here. So, as you can see, my handwriting. is

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:31.259
junk. That's bad, bad, bad, bad. I don't think

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:33.180
that that is spelled the way that you think it

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:36.259
is. Oh, that was weird. Yeah, it was flashing

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:37.799
the whole time. I don't know why it was flashing,

00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.980
but it's bad handwriting. Okay, so what I'm going

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:45.440
to do here at the top is I am going to go to

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.450
what they're calling AI. It's not AI. Okay. And

00:31:49.450 --> 00:31:53.329
I'm going to go to recognition. Do you not want

00:31:53.329 --> 00:31:55.829
it to be AI? Is that what you're saying? I see

00:31:55.829 --> 00:31:58.329
why it screwed up on that one. Skip logic. What

00:31:58.329 --> 00:32:00.869
did you say? I didn't exactly do my R the way

00:32:00.869 --> 00:32:02.630
I should have. Hello, your world. So instead

00:32:02.630 --> 00:32:06.410
of hello, world, it's hello, wood. Like, would

00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:11.450
you? Hello, pants. So I'm not going to make that

00:32:11.450 --> 00:32:15.859
a bad reflection on this device at all. Please

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:18.279
do not judge this device on Chris's ability to

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:19.980
spell words. On my ability to write or not write.

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:27.259
So let's try that again. The anticipation is

00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:30.059
killing me. Okay. Pregnant pause. I know, pregnant

00:32:30.059 --> 00:32:32.059
pause. Here we go. Back to text recognition.

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:39.019
My handwriting is bad. Yeah, I'm getting that.

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:41.359
This is what happens when you do a live demo.

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.400
May I try a hello world? This is the live demo

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.819
fail. You did say it was your version of cursive.

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:48.440
Maybe it doesn't understand your version of cursive.

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:51.059
We're not living in your reality here, Chris.

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:55.450
Come on now. All right. Does it have to be cursive?

00:32:55.470 --> 00:32:57.289
One last time. One last time. Well, I was really

00:32:57.289 --> 00:32:59.630
trying to show that there. Okay. I got it a little

00:32:59.630 --> 00:33:01.849
bit more where it's legible. Yeah. And now if

00:33:01.849 --> 00:33:03.430
you look at the bottom for what it recognized,

00:33:03.769 --> 00:33:06.869
it got it right. It got it right. Okay. So there

00:33:06.869 --> 00:33:10.569
you can see. Yes. So I would say there, if you

00:33:10.569 --> 00:33:13.430
know how to actually write. Yeah. If you have.

00:33:13.730 --> 00:33:16.150
Their recognition is actually. Past the cursive

00:33:16.150 --> 00:33:19.250
class. Well, that's. Let me tell you. Second

00:33:19.250 --> 00:33:21.250
grade. I mean, when was the last time you wrote

00:33:21.250 --> 00:33:23.440
in cursive? Third grade when they made me. Just

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:27.660
about, yes. Well, no. Today, actually. During

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:30.519
the SAT, they made us write this thing in cursive.

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:32.700
I don't know what that was about. It was very

00:33:32.700 --> 00:33:36.059
weird. Anybody else remember this? I couldn't

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:38.960
wait until I couldn't need to write it. My teacher

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:41.859
didn't require it. But in the last two or three

00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:44.460
years, I've been intentionally writing in cursive.

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:47.710
Really? I do. Look at you. Yeah, I don't do cursive.

00:33:47.730 --> 00:33:49.509
No. So if you would like to try it, you're more

00:33:49.509 --> 00:33:53.329
than welcome to. I can keep talking. I feel like

00:33:53.329 --> 00:33:56.769
the stylus goes well across the screen. I think

00:33:56.769 --> 00:33:59.630
the stylus doesn't come with it. No, no, no,

00:33:59.630 --> 00:34:03.750
no, no. So this particular device is $399 .99.

00:34:04.049 --> 00:34:10.610
The stylus is $4999. So it's not bad. I've heard

00:34:10.610 --> 00:34:14.519
of other styluses being more expensive. True.

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.719
Very true. It's fairly slippery, but not like

00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:20.460
writing on liquid. It's not quite like if you've

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:23.739
ever written with a remarkable. That really does

00:34:23.739 --> 00:34:26.760
truly feel like pen on paper, pencil on paper.

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.920
But it's not like an iPad. No, no, no, no, no,

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:33.920
no. But this does have the little button in the

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:37.019
pen. So when you hold down that button by default

00:34:37.019 --> 00:34:39.239
and you go over what you wrote, it will erase

00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:42.380
it. okay instead of you flipping it around and

00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:44.659
like the back side of it is an eraser but you

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:47.940
can also program that button to do whatever you

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:51.869
want to do it does charge by type c But it's

00:34:51.869 --> 00:34:53.750
not like a weird, you have to pull this part

00:34:53.750 --> 00:34:56.070
out. No, no. And see, that's where that drives

00:34:56.070 --> 00:34:57.730
me crazy. That was one of the things where I

00:34:57.730 --> 00:35:00.670
was like, oh, close, but no cigar. You know,

00:35:00.670 --> 00:35:02.050
there's not a place where it will physically

00:35:02.050 --> 00:35:05.030
attach to here. And charge that way. Or charge

00:35:05.030 --> 00:35:08.369
either way. But to charge by USB -C is not the

00:35:08.369 --> 00:35:10.329
end of the world. It's far better than sticking

00:35:10.329 --> 00:35:12.929
your stylus in the end of your iPad. That was

00:35:12.929 --> 00:35:17.269
the worst design ever. No, no, sorry, sorry,

00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:19.369
sorry, sorry. It's not the worst design ever.

00:35:19.369 --> 00:35:21.360
I feel like the mouse. The mouse. is still the

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.840
worst yeah that's true their mouse but it is

00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.199
it is closely followed by are you kidding me

00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.539
we're gonna stick this thing like in the end

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:34.219
of the ipad that's what we're that's what we

00:35:34.219 --> 00:35:36.500
think is a good idea we're gonna do that it's

00:35:36.500 --> 00:35:39.440
gonna get broken off maybe if it increased the

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.420
wi -fi reception well it's in there it's an antenna

00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:45.219
doubled as an antenna there you go i don't see

00:35:45.219 --> 00:35:47.440
why they didn't do that that would have made

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.449
so much more sense So moving around this is very

00:35:50.449 --> 00:35:52.829
much like moving around an Android in terms of...

00:35:52.829 --> 00:35:58.429
Being hard to do? No. Dude. I can't help it that

00:35:58.429 --> 00:36:00.190
you... Just because there's another Apple fan

00:36:00.190 --> 00:36:02.050
here doesn't mean we have to throw Chris. It's

00:36:02.050 --> 00:36:04.510
fine. Not all of us are lemmings and do it Apple's

00:36:04.510 --> 00:36:08.090
way. Oh, ouch. Listen, Chris, if you just knew

00:36:08.090 --> 00:36:10.409
what you wanted... I know what I want. I want

00:36:10.409 --> 00:36:13.289
full flexibility. I want to do it this way. No,

00:36:13.329 --> 00:36:15.090
I know I want to do it this way. Did you get

00:36:15.090 --> 00:36:18.250
the devil entendre there? Yeah. I missed it.

00:36:19.110 --> 00:36:23.250
I want full flexibility. I can't bend my back.

00:36:23.769 --> 00:36:27.889
Oh, yes. He does want full flexibility. I do.

00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:30.269
Hasn't had it in a while. No, I'll have to die

00:36:30.269 --> 00:36:32.849
to get it. He doesn't like it when he starts

00:36:32.849 --> 00:36:35.809
saying head and shoulders, knees and toes. That's

00:36:35.809 --> 00:36:39.170
not fair. I can't play that game. I almost sent

00:36:39.170 --> 00:36:43.590
you this video of this guy. It's like a... It

00:36:43.590 --> 00:36:46.210
looks like a Japanese torture chamber, but evidently

00:36:46.210 --> 00:36:49.010
they do it to release people's spines. They like

00:36:49.010 --> 00:36:52.969
grab onto, they strap them to the, they strap

00:36:52.969 --> 00:36:55.429
them to a like weight bench. It looks like, and

00:36:55.429 --> 00:36:58.889
then they pull down on this or crank this thing

00:36:58.889 --> 00:37:01.769
and it pulls up on their chin. Yeah. It's a,

00:37:01.769 --> 00:37:04.230
it's a, it's a form of traction. Yeah. I was

00:37:04.230 --> 00:37:07.969
like, Holy cow. I so wish I could. Yeah. Or that

00:37:07.969 --> 00:37:10.570
chiropractor who does something similar but abruptly

00:37:10.570 --> 00:37:12.150
with a towel. Oh, yeah. That's the guy in Houston.

00:37:12.329 --> 00:37:15.389
Yeah. And he calls people crack addicts who watch

00:37:15.389 --> 00:37:19.789
the videos on YouTube. Yeah. It's called the

00:37:19.789 --> 00:37:22.610
Ring Dinger if you've never seen it. Well, that's

00:37:22.610 --> 00:37:24.849
not nice. It's worth watching a video at least

00:37:24.849 --> 00:37:27.489
once. Yeah, sure. Because he lays them on the

00:37:27.489 --> 00:37:30.150
table. He puts these pins in just above the pelvis

00:37:30.150 --> 00:37:32.630
to hold them in the position, lifts their legs

00:37:32.630 --> 00:37:36.159
up. and then wraps a towel around their neck,

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.280
tells them to keep their mouth closed so they

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:42.360
don't bite off their tongue. Okay. And then he

00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:43.980
says... Seems like they would just put one of

00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:47.039
those mouthpieces in from the electric chair.

00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:49.900
And then he says, wiggle your big toe. And they're

00:37:49.900 --> 00:37:54.099
like, what? Pow! And he pulls and you hear them

00:37:54.099 --> 00:37:59.179
go... And then they die. No, no, no, no. Why

00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:01.519
are my toes numb? Correct. And then everybody

00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.119
gets up. I can't. Yeah, but people stand up afterwards

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.719
and they go, I think I feel taller from getting

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:12.079
stretched. I hope so. And I feel less pain in

00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.019
my back. Everything snapped back down real close.

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.280
I was at the doctor with my dad today and they

00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:19.780
were like, how tall are you? He was like six,

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:22.139
two and a half. I was like, not anymore. Not

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:26.679
anymore. Sorry, bud. I used to say 5 '11". And

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:28.699
now my family's like, no, you're 5 '10". Yeah.

00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:32.340
That was the heartbreak for me. I'm like, I'm

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:35.119
5 '10". I'm 5 '10". I'm 5 '10". The nurse came

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.659
over for the insurance, physical or whatever,

00:38:38.780 --> 00:38:40.739
and she was like, no, you're not. It's like,

00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:47.539
ouch. Sorry. Gotta be 5 '9 now. Age happens.

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:56.429
It does. Also, fat. Well. Whatever. Okay. Give

00:38:56.429 --> 00:38:58.289
me the cheese. Don't downgrade yourself, man.

00:38:59.949 --> 00:39:02.530
Give me the cheese. I had a great grandmother

00:39:02.530 --> 00:39:04.429
alive when I was young, and we called her little

00:39:04.429 --> 00:39:09.170
grandma. She was very short and very tiny. I

00:39:09.170 --> 00:39:11.530
was like, which way are we going with this? Yeah,

00:39:11.670 --> 00:39:13.750
are we going that she was a large lady? But she

00:39:13.750 --> 00:39:19.349
had also shrunk. Well, that was my wife's mother's

00:39:19.349 --> 00:39:22.269
mother's mother was called Big Mama, and they're

00:39:22.269 --> 00:39:26.019
elves. Oh wow. Like they are tiny people. I was

00:39:26.019 --> 00:39:28.960
like, I'm pretty sure that Bootsy and granddaddy

00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:35.579
have been around for centuries, but they're just

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:37.739
telling us that they're 80 something. There you

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:41.179
go. I mean, his ears were like folded over. They

00:39:41.179 --> 00:39:45.280
looked pointy. I'm not kidding. This dude is

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:51.150
a leprechaun. Yeah, he is. Okay. So This ships

00:39:51.150 --> 00:39:53.989
with the Play Store available right out of the

00:39:53.989 --> 00:39:56.929
box. Full Play Store? Full Play Store. Okay.

00:39:57.130 --> 00:40:00.829
So you're going to play Fruit Ninja for us? No,

00:40:00.849 --> 00:40:04.590
I would not do that with an E -Ink screen. This

00:40:04.590 --> 00:40:08.530
has the so -called fast refresh, and it's quick

00:40:08.530 --> 00:40:10.570
for an E -Ink screen. But yeah, you wouldn't

00:40:10.570 --> 00:40:13.010
want to play games on here. You don't want to

00:40:13.010 --> 00:40:15.989
watch YouTube on here. You want to play video

00:40:15.989 --> 00:40:19.420
for us or something here? Well, I... specifically

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:23.380
did anything video related on it because it didn't

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:25.980
look good. Enjoyable? No. Now, what I did do,

00:40:26.059 --> 00:40:33.539
and it's not bad necessarily, but, oh, I'm not

00:40:33.539 --> 00:40:37.980
on the Wi -Fi. Oh, what? Put it on your cellular

00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:42.559
plan. Yes, you could. Can it do that? Yes, this

00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:48.099
actually has a combo jack that is SIM in SD card.

00:40:48.460 --> 00:40:52.059
So you can expand your... It comes with 128 gig...

00:40:52.059 --> 00:40:56.900
Yeah, 128 gig of internal, but you can expand

00:40:56.900 --> 00:41:03.340
that out with SD card. Oh, where's that setting?

00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:06.500
It also has a camera on the back of it. It does.

00:41:06.699 --> 00:41:10.000
It does. And it's what you would expect for a

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:16.539
16 megapixel camera on a... I hate to say low

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:21.059
-end. That's not really the right term, but it's

00:41:21.059 --> 00:41:24.440
what you would expect for a camera on a device

00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:27.559
like this. It's okay. They are marketing it for,

00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:33.260
what did they say, for document scanning. I think

00:41:33.260 --> 00:41:35.679
it could pull that off. It could. Or adding things

00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:39.239
to your notes. Yes. Jacob likes to take pictures

00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:44.400
of his table whiteboard notes. Mm -hmm. Oh, wrong

00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.349
one. Did Jacob have one of these? He did not.

00:41:47.769 --> 00:41:51.269
He would do it with his phone typically. You

00:41:51.269 --> 00:41:55.550
mean his iPhone? It was a phone. It was a phone.

00:41:55.969 --> 00:41:58.730
It's a phone. It was an unnamed phone. It was

00:41:58.730 --> 00:42:03.610
an ARM processor. Yeah, it is. It is. E -T phone

00:42:03.610 --> 00:42:07.849
home. Come on, hotspot. Because I know I've been

00:42:07.849 --> 00:42:12.489
on that before. When I see it, it looks to me

00:42:12.489 --> 00:42:16.559
like... A phone. Almost like a three by five

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.219
spiral bound notepad. Correct. Looks like a phone

00:42:21.219 --> 00:42:22.920
to me. It does look like a phone. All right,

00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:24.980
here we go. Let's try this again. Now that I

00:42:24.980 --> 00:42:30.440
have connectivity, it has speakers in it. And

00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:35.219
so you can listen to music. But it also has Bluetooth

00:42:35.219 --> 00:42:37.559
connection. So why would you do that? Well, I'm

00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:39.880
just saying the speakers are what you would anticipate.

00:42:40.820 --> 00:42:44.210
And you can do Bluetooth. You are correct. What

00:42:44.210 --> 00:42:48.389
is its screen refresh rate? I don't remember

00:42:48.389 --> 00:42:53.269
seeing it exactly in the specs. One. One. One.

00:42:53.530 --> 00:42:58.989
You get one refresh. One. Single refresh. So

00:42:58.989 --> 00:43:07.010
there you go. It's okay. It's tinny. Sounds a

00:43:07.010 --> 00:43:11.949
little tinny. Yeah. It's not. You're not going

00:43:11.949 --> 00:43:15.030
to want to listen to a lot. Does spoken word

00:43:15.030 --> 00:43:17.929
sound good? Audiophile dream here. No, no, no,

00:43:17.949 --> 00:43:20.869
no, not at all. But it does work well with Bluetooth

00:43:20.869 --> 00:43:23.969
headphones. I did do that. The only thing that

00:43:23.969 --> 00:43:27.670
I can say that I had a problem with was periodically

00:43:27.670 --> 00:43:31.550
it would just stop playing the music and I'd

00:43:31.550 --> 00:43:34.329
have to go back in and restart. And I haven't

00:43:34.329 --> 00:43:36.289
been able to figure out why. I don't know if

00:43:36.289 --> 00:43:39.929
that is something specific to YouTube music or

00:43:39.929 --> 00:43:41.670
if it's something specific to the way they handle.

00:43:42.510 --> 00:43:47.150
background music. That's what I was using. So

00:43:47.150 --> 00:43:50.190
maybe there's something in the way that if that's

00:43:50.190 --> 00:43:53.110
not an active app, after so long, it does actually

00:43:53.110 --> 00:43:57.409
go, you can't be here. Yeah. So you were playing

00:43:57.409 --> 00:43:58.869
it in the background while you were doing it?

00:43:58.889 --> 00:44:00.449
Yeah, while I was doing other things with it.

00:44:01.289 --> 00:44:05.090
But I mean, I've got my Gmail on here. I put

00:44:05.090 --> 00:44:06.769
Google Drive on here. I've got Google Calendar

00:44:06.769 --> 00:44:10.900
on here to make it. Feel like it's mine. A useful

00:44:10.900 --> 00:44:14.019
device. A useful device, yes. And then they do

00:44:14.019 --> 00:44:16.860
fill it up with tons of their own applications.

00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:18.900
Okay, what are their applications? You can survive

00:44:18.900 --> 00:44:24.360
on that. They have their reader for books. Does

00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:28.179
it connect to other libraries? If you had something

00:44:28.179 --> 00:44:31.000
coming through your Play account for Google,

00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.300
you could. But they also have their own store

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:39.769
on here. Four e -books that you can get. When

00:44:39.769 --> 00:44:42.610
you go into the book, you go away from color

00:44:42.610 --> 00:44:45.070
and into black and white. You get that higher

00:44:45.070 --> 00:44:50.510
300 dots per inch and the higher resolution.

00:44:50.630 --> 00:44:53.449
Whereas when you're in color, you're basically

00:44:53.449 --> 00:44:57.550
kind of half the resolution and 150 dots per

00:44:57.550 --> 00:44:59.989
inch. So that kind of cuts in half as well. But

00:44:59.989 --> 00:45:02.789
I don't feel like that. impedes the usefulness

00:45:02.789 --> 00:45:07.329
of the device in any way. You do have a refresh

00:45:07.329 --> 00:45:10.409
button at the bottom because when you, let me

00:45:10.409 --> 00:45:12.769
see if I can make it do it. It helps with that

00:45:12.769 --> 00:45:17.650
one refresh. One. Now we're two. One. I would

00:45:17.650 --> 00:45:19.789
assume it opens PDFs and things of that nature.

00:45:19.869 --> 00:45:23.010
Yeah, in their reader, yes it does. What I was

00:45:23.010 --> 00:45:25.349
trying to get it to do is to open and you can

00:45:25.349 --> 00:45:28.989
actually see the bleed over from the previous

00:45:28.989 --> 00:45:33.179
screen. which is why the refresh is there. If

00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:35.039
you leave the app open long enough, it'll just

00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:38.219
naturally do a refresh on its own. But if you

00:45:38.219 --> 00:45:41.380
found that it was being slower than you want,

00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:43.719
you've got that refresh button at the bottom.

00:45:43.739 --> 00:45:47.780
It'll do a quick refresh of the screen. Those

00:45:47.780 --> 00:45:49.760
artifacts will go away. You've got to re -shake

00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.539
the pixels. Yeah, the Etch -A -Sketch. The Etch

00:45:52.539 --> 00:45:54.900
-A -Sketch. So E -Ink is supposed to be really

00:45:54.900 --> 00:45:59.980
efficient electronically. I do like the Etch

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:03.199
-a -Sketch. Etch -a -Sketch. Oh, man. Mindset.

00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.440
Just hold it up over your head. Don't leave that

00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:10.639
in the same picture for too long because it'll

00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:14.179
mess you up. Never get that rid of. It's like

00:46:14.179 --> 00:46:16.679
a plasma TV. It's like doing the truffle shuffle,

00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:22.260
man. If he was holding that when he did it, it'd

00:46:22.260 --> 00:46:28.840
be clear. It'd be amazing. But what is the battery

00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.099
life expectancy, or what have you noticed with

00:46:31.099 --> 00:46:34.960
it? Well, I've only had it since Saturday. And

00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:37.239
you've never charged it yet? I charged it to

00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:41.019
full. So since then, it has only come down to

00:46:41.019 --> 00:46:45.440
88%. Since Saturday. Since Saturday. This is

00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:48.679
Tuesday evening, by the way, just for everybody

00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:50.780
who's wondering how long is that? And with as

00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:53.420
long as it is actually kind of sat and not been

00:46:53.420 --> 00:46:56.500
used, my phone would be long dead by now. Yeah.

00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:02.320
So basically when you quote unquote put it to

00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:05.940
sleep, it goes to that screen. The other screen.

00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.300
Not that screen. It goes to that screen. Okay.

00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:12.159
Right there. It's not lit up. It's a real quick

00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:15.159
boom and then there's nothing else going on with

00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:18.099
the screen like there would be on a regular OLED

00:47:18.099 --> 00:47:22.760
or an LCD or whatever you want to call it. That's

00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:24.860
why they keep the refresh rate at one. Exactly.

00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:27.960
Keep the battery healthy. One is all you need.

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.380
What's the refresh rate? User customizable. And

00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:41.420
by that we mean you can press the refresh button

00:47:41.420 --> 00:47:44.760
as many times as you want. Technically, you can.

00:47:44.900 --> 00:47:46.920
Enter those mouse clicking competitions. It's

00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.400
like 300. Yeah, actions per second or minute

00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:56.679
or whatever it is. To some degree, you actually

00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:59.880
can, John. You can control the refresh. You can

00:47:59.880 --> 00:48:01.800
use the recommended. You can do the fast or you

00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:04.300
can go into custom and you can tell it, I want

00:48:04.300 --> 00:48:09.440
to. the fast refresh, or I want you to lean less

00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.800
on refresh and more on HD, the Christmas of what

00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:17.920
I get. You can change the color modes. So you

00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:21.579
do have some control over the screen and how

00:48:21.579 --> 00:48:25.460
it works. I mean, that makes sense. That's very

00:48:25.460 --> 00:48:30.679
Android of you. Again, we're not lemmings. Very

00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:33.210
customizable. Yeah, sure. What the user wants.

00:48:34.469 --> 00:48:37.369
Make it where it doesn't work. That's fine. They

00:48:37.369 --> 00:48:40.969
do have AI Assistant built in, which uses ChatGPT.

00:48:41.250 --> 00:48:44.849
Oh, bummer. That's okay. Not Gemini with Android?

00:48:45.210 --> 00:48:48.050
No, not Gemini. Don't force you into it. No,

00:48:48.050 --> 00:48:52.050
no, no, no, no. The screen doesn't give you a

00:48:52.050 --> 00:48:55.269
good view, but there's what a picture looks like

00:48:55.269 --> 00:48:59.190
on the e -ink screen. I can send you actual...

00:48:59.869 --> 00:49:02.789
That image direct. Yeah. And we can get all that

00:49:02.789 --> 00:49:04.530
in the show notes and stuff so people can see

00:49:04.530 --> 00:49:07.210
the actual picture. Well, I'd love to know if

00:49:07.210 --> 00:49:09.289
it looks better on a different screen. So send

00:49:09.289 --> 00:49:11.309
it to me now. It does look a little bit better.

00:49:13.449 --> 00:49:16.889
Let's do this. Do I have? Yeah. Never mind. Don't

00:49:16.889 --> 00:49:20.210
send it to me. Share. Mine's taking a video.

00:49:21.650 --> 00:49:27.929
Gmail. Are we live on camera? I don't want to

00:49:27.929 --> 00:49:29.530
be live on camera. Nobody's talked about that

00:49:29.530 --> 00:49:35.090
yet either. You could send it to me. Live on

00:49:35.090 --> 00:49:39.329
camera. I could do that. Oh, that's right. Jason's

00:49:39.329 --> 00:49:43.909
not doing anything. On camera? On camera. What?

00:49:44.070 --> 00:49:46.010
Chris is the focal point of this camera shot.

00:49:46.269 --> 00:49:48.730
There you go. Pictures coming your way. I know

00:49:48.730 --> 00:49:51.769
it will probably take a little bit. So speaking

00:49:51.769 --> 00:49:56.190
to the cellular connectivity, it is data only.

00:49:57.610 --> 00:49:59.809
which is not necessarily bad, but at the same

00:49:59.809 --> 00:50:02.989
time, I'm sitting here going, if it's data only

00:50:02.989 --> 00:50:06.829
and I already have a smartphone, why am I putting

00:50:06.829 --> 00:50:09.369
a plan on here if I can just do hotspot on here

00:50:09.369 --> 00:50:13.969
or Wi -Fi wherever I'm located at? And I feel

00:50:13.969 --> 00:50:18.630
like that was the, like, okay, this is a tablet

00:50:18.630 --> 00:50:22.550
in the sense of what it is able to do with a

00:50:22.550 --> 00:50:28.480
data plan. This is a phone in the sense of its

00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:31.099
portability or not a phone. Well, yeah, a phone,

00:50:31.139 --> 00:50:33.300
but it's more like a watch in the sense of its

00:50:33.300 --> 00:50:36.420
data plan and its portability. But even with

00:50:36.420 --> 00:50:38.460
most of the watches now you can make phone calls.

00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:45.500
So the, this is, I feel like if I could finally

00:50:45.500 --> 00:50:50.619
get to the point or if not, I, if, if we could

00:50:50.619 --> 00:50:55.190
finally get to the point where our, We don't

00:50:55.190 --> 00:50:59.670
have a phone anymore and we have a watch that

00:50:59.670 --> 00:51:03.369
does full. You want the Dick Tracy watch? Yeah,

00:51:03.469 --> 00:51:05.969
I want the Dick Tracy watch. I want the watch

00:51:05.969 --> 00:51:07.389
to do the. That's what I want. This is the one

00:51:07.389 --> 00:51:10.230
that I communicate with. Yes. It's fine. And

00:51:10.230 --> 00:51:12.070
it doesn't have like a screen big enough for

00:51:12.070 --> 00:51:14.329
me to be on it all the time or anything like

00:51:14.329 --> 00:51:16.829
that. Yes. If I had something like that, it would

00:51:16.829 --> 00:51:19.070
be great to have something like this that could

00:51:19.070 --> 00:51:23.179
tether to the watch. Yep. That then I can. look

00:51:23.179 --> 00:51:25.739
up a web page that i need to but it just at the

00:51:25.739 --> 00:51:27.960
you know at the end of the day it just slides

00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.599
in my pocket or not the end of the day yeah that

00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:34.860
looks better on this it's almost like a sepia

00:51:34.860 --> 00:51:40.119
on a standard screen on on a on an iphone um

00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.780
standard screen standard screen standard um it

00:51:43.780 --> 00:51:47.719
looks like a it looks like a polaroid that's

00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:50.059
what i'm gonna say a little bit yeah it looks

00:51:50.059 --> 00:51:55.139
like a polaroid So that's great. Is that Bliss?

00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:58.820
Which cat is that? I think that might be Peanut.

00:52:00.500 --> 00:52:05.900
I think. It's a cat. Why did you name it? If

00:52:05.900 --> 00:52:08.860
you give it a name, you give it power. We don't

00:52:08.860 --> 00:52:14.980
name cats. It's like naming the rat in the attic.

00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:17.900
The animals that you grow for food. Yeah. Don't.

00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:25.340
Fair. It tastes nothing like peanut. Yes. What

00:52:25.340 --> 00:52:28.940
does dog taste like? Just name a cacao dog and

00:52:28.940 --> 00:52:39.920
you'll know. Yikes. Sorry, Rambo. So what would

00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:43.139
you say, in the world that we live in, not the

00:52:43.139 --> 00:52:47.050
world, what was that? Did you get that? That

00:52:47.050 --> 00:52:49.989
was really loud. Did you send me something? Yeah,

00:52:50.010 --> 00:52:53.230
I didn't know if you... Is this still linked

00:52:53.230 --> 00:52:57.869
to your iMessage? No. But it's an iPad. This

00:52:57.869 --> 00:53:00.730
is not my iPad. This is not the Droid you're

00:53:00.730 --> 00:53:02.909
looking for. So did that sound come from your

00:53:02.909 --> 00:53:05.449
phone? No, that came from that thing. Oh, I couldn't

00:53:05.449 --> 00:53:07.269
tell where it came from. Yeah, that was loud

00:53:07.269 --> 00:53:13.480
and not tinny. Okay. Well, my phone that is recording

00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:16.500
you is on. Yeah, I feel like I'm being interrogated.

00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:19.079
You are. Where were you? Yeah, where were you?

00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:21.599
On the night of. January 3rd when they caught

00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:25.539
Maduro. Okay, so not, I was, never mind. You

00:53:25.539 --> 00:53:29.300
know what I wasn't doing? And that was telling

00:53:29.300 --> 00:53:37.280
the largest military in the world that they should

00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:42.150
come and get me. Well, yeah. Dummy. Anyway. Back

00:53:42.150 --> 00:53:44.869
on track. So in the world that we live in, not

00:53:44.869 --> 00:53:46.289
in the world that we wish to live in, who is

00:53:46.289 --> 00:53:56.210
this for? If you want full -blown note -taking,

00:53:56.349 --> 00:53:59.030
you want to get a full 13 -inch tablet. Fingerprint

00:53:59.030 --> 00:53:59.929
power button. That's just kind of where it is.

00:54:00.849 --> 00:54:02.449
Yes, yes. You didn't give them your fingerprint

00:54:02.449 --> 00:54:04.389
though, right? No, no, no, no. Okay. No, I know

00:54:04.389 --> 00:54:06.929
better. Disabled. They've already got it in other

00:54:06.929 --> 00:54:10.329
ways, but I didn't give it to them. Face ID thing.

00:54:10.449 --> 00:54:13.730
You know about driver's license, right? Okay,

00:54:13.809 --> 00:54:17.869
never mind. I would say if you want to get rid

00:54:17.869 --> 00:54:23.070
of a smartphone and go to a mostly dumb phone,

00:54:23.250 --> 00:54:26.409
but you still want to have access to some of

00:54:26.409 --> 00:54:29.429
your apps, but you also want this device to help

00:54:29.429 --> 00:54:32.389
drive you away from keeping your face buried

00:54:32.389 --> 00:54:35.000
in the screen. which is what I'm ultimately trying

00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.780
to go for. Yeah. I think this is great. So like,

00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:42.019
I think if my wife, she's keeping up with her

00:54:42.019 --> 00:54:45.500
to do, she's keeping up with her grocery lists.

00:54:45.860 --> 00:54:48.539
The kids say, Hey, what about this? She can throw

00:54:48.539 --> 00:54:51.199
something on the calendar. They could share it

00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:55.880
out with the family. Um, quick reference to pull

00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.480
stuff out of Google, Google drive real quick.

00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:04.019
Um, E E books. I think, If you're looking to

00:55:04.019 --> 00:55:05.800
do any of that, I think it will work quite well.

00:55:06.659 --> 00:55:08.980
I do love the fact that it literally fits in

00:55:08.980 --> 00:55:11.280
the pocket just like my phone does. You're not

00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:13.460
going to do that with a full -blown tablet. No.

00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:18.059
I think if you've never used an e -ink screen

00:55:18.059 --> 00:55:24.659
before, you do need to potentially back off on

00:55:24.659 --> 00:55:28.599
your expectations for the screen. Back off. Again,

00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.280
if you've never used one, you're going to look

00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:33.440
at it and go, what did they do to the screen?

00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:36.940
But that's the whole thing about e -ink. It's

00:55:36.940 --> 00:55:39.519
not going to look like the screen on your phone.

00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:42.679
It's going to look well. It's going to be crisp.

00:55:43.139 --> 00:55:46.420
You're going to have very muted colors, which,

00:55:46.460 --> 00:55:50.159
again, I believe plays into your brain doesn't

00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:54.719
get a lot of the... that keeps you plugged into

00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:56.760
a device. What do you mean? You're not going

00:55:56.760 --> 00:55:59.619
to stay in that cycle of getting all the good

00:55:59.619 --> 00:56:02.760
dopamine hits because it's not so bright and

00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:10.159
flashy. And it does have a soft light. It's backlit,

00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:14.500
but it has a soft light that is more amber and

00:56:14.500 --> 00:56:17.460
probably is better for your eyes. Yes, I would

00:56:17.460 --> 00:56:19.820
agree with that. So I would say if you don't

00:56:19.820 --> 00:56:22.239
need a full -blown tablet, but you still want

00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:24.460
to keep your apps and you want to do some basic

00:56:24.460 --> 00:56:28.260
to -do note -taking, I think this device could

00:56:28.260 --> 00:56:31.380
work well. But if you really want something that

00:56:31.380 --> 00:56:34.360
you're in a meeting and you're just going to

00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:37.199
town taking notes, but you don't want to necessarily

00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:41.300
keep doing traditional pen and paper, then you

00:56:41.300 --> 00:56:44.699
want to go with a 13 -inch version. Which they

00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:51.019
have. Which is the Note Air 5C. But you're also

00:56:51.019 --> 00:56:54.920
talking it is a two or I think maybe $300 jump

00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:00.380
in price. Yeah. So the Palma 2, Palma 2 Pro,

00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:02.000
which is the one that you have. Which brings

00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:09.800
color. Color. And the Note Air 5C. Yes. These

00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:13.460
are the book's offerings. Yes. And then they

00:57:13.460 --> 00:57:18.099
have the Go series. Which I think the new version

00:57:18.099 --> 00:57:26.340
of the 7 -inch Go also is color. Tab XC. That

00:57:26.340 --> 00:57:29.719
one is very pricey. Yeah. That is getting into

00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:33.760
upper level of remarkable in terms of price.

00:57:34.099 --> 00:57:39.940
But without the, whatever you call it. Oh, the

00:57:39.940 --> 00:57:44.469
subscription? Yeah. So we did confirm. that on

00:57:44.469 --> 00:57:47.289
the Remarkable, if you don't pay for the subscription,

00:57:47.650 --> 00:57:50.469
you can still have the integration into Google

00:57:50.469 --> 00:57:53.909
Drive. That's nice. Yes. That's good. Yes. That's

00:57:53.909 --> 00:57:56.269
really frustrating. Speaking of, if you do want

00:57:56.269 --> 00:57:58.969
to do a show on the Remarkable 2, we actually

00:57:58.969 --> 00:58:01.329
do now have someone who is a user of the device.

00:58:02.010 --> 00:58:05.239
We could have them come on and share. We may

00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:06.519
do that. Your experience is with the remarkable.

00:58:06.860 --> 00:58:09.420
Yeah, we may do that. But the also, also, the

00:58:09.420 --> 00:58:12.619
also, books also has, I'm just now seeing this.

00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:17.059
Speaking of pricey, you ready for this? No. Oh,

00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:22.300
the monitor? Books Mira Pro Series. Yes. So you

00:58:22.300 --> 00:58:27.460
can plug it into any, you know, Windows 64, Windows

00:58:27.460 --> 00:58:32.380
32, Mac, or Linux. EE monitor. Okay. Keep that

00:58:32.380 --> 00:58:36.400
in mind. I was, I was reflecting back to a device

00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:39.059
I remember as a child that had a backlight that

00:58:39.059 --> 00:58:42.539
was easy on the eyes. The little... It was a

00:58:42.539 --> 00:58:45.480
Game Boy. Oh, Game Boy, yeah. Oh, wait, it didn't

00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:47.199
have a backlight. I thought you were talking

00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:49.440
about that little... What was the little worm

00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:51.599
thing that was like the glow light? The glow

00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:54.260
worm. Glow worm, yeah. The glow worm that like...

00:58:54.260 --> 00:58:59.059
Anyway. So just in case you're wondering from

00:58:59.059 --> 00:59:01.760
the other conversation that we have, the books...

00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:08.980
Mira E -Ink monitor also has a physical refresh

00:59:08.980 --> 00:59:12.820
button. So it might have a refresh rate of one.

00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:20.380
But share the price. It's a 25 .3 inch. What's

00:59:20.380 --> 00:59:24.219
the resolution? Hold on. I'm sure it says it

00:59:24.219 --> 00:59:26.519
somewhere. Not the compatible, but the native.

00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:35.400
Yeah. Resolution 3200 by 1800. 25 .3 inches.

00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:42.920
It costs... Too much. I mean, some. $1 ,900.

00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:50.300
If you thought Apple was... Asking for too much?

00:59:50.300 --> 00:59:53.079
Asking for a $5 ,000 monitor? Well, the $5 ,000

00:59:53.079 --> 00:59:55.719
monitor, definitely they're asking too much.

00:59:55.719 --> 00:59:58.679
What is the power draw? The studio, whatever,

00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:02.820
the lower version one. is cheaper than this so

01:00:02.820 --> 01:00:05.980
there you go yes but this is a monitor in search

01:00:05.980 --> 01:00:10.099
of a problem yeah oh i just got a 404 that's

01:00:10.099 --> 01:00:12.579
exciting but being an e -ink display what is

01:00:12.579 --> 01:00:14.800
what does the power consumption look like probably

01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:18.420
next to nothing right yeah it um evidently us

01:00:18.420 --> 01:00:20.980
talking about it made it it would disappear from

01:00:20.980 --> 01:00:23.300
there it doesn't consume power it puts it back

01:00:23.300 --> 01:00:25.969
on the grid yeah Now, it would be an interesting

01:00:25.969 --> 01:00:31.610
use for some kind of... By the pressing of the

01:00:31.610 --> 01:00:33.670
refresh button. It would be an interesting use

01:00:33.670 --> 01:00:37.070
case for signage. Yeah. Because it only needs

01:00:37.070 --> 01:00:38.650
to draw power when you need to show something

01:00:38.650 --> 01:00:41.170
different. This would be great for kiosk work.

01:00:41.349 --> 01:00:43.449
You know, if you're doing check -ins or something

01:00:43.449 --> 01:00:47.769
like that. Yeah. But aren't looking for a touch

01:00:47.769 --> 01:00:52.989
screen because it's not doing that. Yeah. Because

01:00:52.989 --> 01:00:55.429
the idea behind the e -ink is that it can light

01:00:55.429 --> 01:00:57.409
up the screen and then not ever have to draw

01:00:57.409 --> 01:00:58.530
power again. The example that they're showing

01:00:58.530 --> 01:01:02.090
has like full code on three quarters of the screen.

01:01:02.469 --> 01:01:05.670
So like they're... Vibe coding. They're like,

01:01:05.710 --> 01:01:10.010
you know who needs e -ink? Coders. Because those

01:01:10.010 --> 01:01:13.329
guys need to be able to sleep at night. Because

01:01:13.329 --> 01:01:18.030
they stare at static. Editors. I mean, it's showing

01:01:18.030 --> 01:01:21.440
like YouTube. That's weird. Why would you watch

01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:23.199
YouTube on this? I wouldn't use YouTube for that.

01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:28.340
That's enough bass to hit that button. At least

01:01:28.340 --> 01:01:32.340
30 times a second. I mean, it's just muscle building

01:01:32.340 --> 01:01:34.219
at this point. Instead of turf toe, you end up

01:01:34.219 --> 01:01:42.300
with finger. Turf finger. Oh, no. Oh, and you

01:01:42.300 --> 01:01:48.199
can make it cooler or warmer. Okay. Soft. Color

01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:55.760
or crisp monochrome. I mean, this is a different

01:01:55.760 --> 01:02:01.199
level of all in that I was not prepared for.

01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:06.920
Fuzzy text or crisp text. It does seem like there's

01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:12.639
a display port, an HDMI, a USB -C, and then there's...

01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:15.800
Either another USB -C that just doesn't look

01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:23.920
right or like a micro HDMI. Hold on. Chris got

01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:28.059
distracted by aluminum. They're saying. Don't

01:02:28.059 --> 01:02:31.159
you dare. No, it says find more beers. Oh. You

01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:33.539
have my attention. Yeah, I know. I'm with you.

01:02:33.559 --> 01:02:36.719
I need to drink this beer. Y 'all talk. Talk

01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:39.940
amongst yourselves. I'm a Clint. Talk amongst

01:02:39.940 --> 01:02:42.880
yourselves. I am a little bit of a clump from

01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.360
this monitor. I was not expecting to see something.

01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:49.000
I want to find more beers. Like this. Michigan

01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:53.599
Amber. They have a handful. Peach Haze. Sounds

01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:58.039
like a Jacob beer. Yeah, it does. Sadly, he won't

01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:02.079
be listening to this. Jacob just doesn't listen.

01:03:02.780 --> 01:03:05.760
He was like, well, can I get it on Spotify? I'm

01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:08.840
like, yes. Yes, you can. And then he never listens.

01:03:09.340 --> 01:03:12.239
That's such a bummer. Michigan Amber. Swing Juice.

01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:15.280
Yeah, I saw that. Swing Juice. Big Lake Camper.

01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:19.119
50 IBUs. Fudgy. The Fudgy. The original Fudgy.

01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:25.619
Blood Orange Haze. No. Wild Berry Haze. No. Strawberry

01:03:25.619 --> 01:03:29.239
Haze. No. Where's the Purple Haze? No. Cotton

01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:34.730
Candy Haze. Oh. Sparty party. Sparty party. Hazy

01:03:34.730 --> 01:03:37.050
IPA. I will deal with the chocolate sweetness

01:03:37.050 --> 01:03:40.130
in a beer. Haze and blue. But I'm going to draw

01:03:40.130 --> 01:03:44.110
the line at strawberry. Happy. Fancy. Happy is

01:03:44.110 --> 01:03:48.050
a citrus wheat. Orange cream shandy. Now, I did

01:03:48.050 --> 01:03:51.070
look at this one, but the last time I got you

01:03:51.070 --> 01:03:53.150
a black lager, it didn't go over well. No, it

01:03:53.150 --> 01:03:57.579
did not. Ooh. Dark side of the lake? Yeah. I

01:03:57.579 --> 01:03:58.900
looked at that one and I was like, it's another

01:03:58.900 --> 01:04:00.480
black lager. I love that. I would try it just

01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:04.320
for that can alone. I mean, you're going to put

01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:07.219
Pink Floyd on there? I'll give it a try. Harmony.

01:04:07.219 --> 01:04:11.739
I wonder if they got a... Cerveza de Lago. Oh,

01:04:11.820 --> 01:04:13.960
it's a Mexican lager. I'd have to pass. Yeah,

01:04:14.019 --> 01:04:15.139
you don't do well with Mexican lagers. I don't

01:04:15.139 --> 01:04:19.539
do well with those. Double IPA. Alpenglow. Camper

01:04:19.539 --> 01:04:23.829
special. Euphoric double. Now, there's the special

01:04:23.829 --> 01:04:25.630
release. That's what we got. Yeah. The B .A.

01:04:25.750 --> 01:04:29.110
Double Fudgy. It's like the B .A. Baracus. B

01:04:29.110 --> 01:04:32.650
.A. Baracus, there you go. Is that code for something

01:04:32.650 --> 01:04:34.409
that we're not allowed to say on this? Barrel

01:04:34.409 --> 01:04:38.130
-aged. Lightly buzzed. That's their blonde ale.

01:04:38.230 --> 01:04:40.550
B .A. Baracus, the throwback to the 18. Yes,

01:04:40.550 --> 01:04:44.809
it is. Tulip time. That sounds Jacob. People

01:04:44.809 --> 01:04:46.670
kind of joked with me that I moved from a town

01:04:46.670 --> 01:04:48.530
that celebrated tulips to a town that celebrated

01:04:48.530 --> 01:04:52.400
roses. That is pretty funny. There's a tulip

01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:58.099
thyme lager. Blaze on. Oh, raspberry fudgy. Oh.

01:04:59.179 --> 01:05:01.320
That sounds like something that's, never mind.

01:05:01.619 --> 01:05:08.179
Drop it. Move on. Not so great. You need to.

01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:11.860
We'll cut that one for the show. Yikes. Yikes.

01:05:11.860 --> 01:05:14.280
But I did see that one. I do like this one, though.

01:05:14.300 --> 01:05:18.690
It is good. It is way sweeter than. than I thought

01:05:18.690 --> 01:05:20.929
it would be. Than you thought it would be? Double

01:05:20.929 --> 01:05:22.349
fudgy, you didn't think that was going to be

01:05:22.349 --> 01:05:24.690
sweet? Well, I figured it would be chocolatey.

01:05:24.710 --> 01:05:29.769
I didn't necessarily think sweet. We're over

01:05:29.769 --> 01:05:32.349
an hour and we haven't opened the second beer.

01:05:32.610 --> 01:05:35.489
I've had to talk a bunch, man. Well. You made

01:05:35.489 --> 01:05:37.929
the introvert try to be extrovert. Of course

01:05:37.929 --> 01:05:39.829
I didn't drink all my beer. Listen, I did not

01:05:39.829 --> 01:05:42.210
make you be extrovert. You want this as much

01:05:42.210 --> 01:05:45.230
as I do. I had to talk. I had to talk. My arm

01:05:45.230 --> 01:05:48.690
was twisted. I had no choice. Talking and pretzels

01:05:48.690 --> 01:05:51.489
and cheese. So all that, real quick conclusion,

01:05:51.750 --> 01:05:55.269
I think the Palma 2 Pro is a great product. I

01:05:55.269 --> 01:05:58.690
think it fits certain use cases is the caveat

01:05:58.690 --> 01:06:02.210
due to the small screen size. But again, if you

01:06:02.210 --> 01:06:04.409
don't need this for note -taking, I think this

01:06:04.409 --> 01:06:07.050
could really be in people's wheelhouse. Nice.

01:06:07.050 --> 01:06:08.969
But if you want note -taking, you really want

01:06:08.969 --> 01:06:11.610
the 13 -inch screen. I like that a lot. So I

01:06:11.610 --> 01:06:13.650
would have no problem recommending this to people,

01:06:13.750 --> 01:06:15.849
especially if you're looking to break addiction

01:06:15.849 --> 01:06:19.269
from your smartphone. I think this is the way

01:06:19.269 --> 01:06:21.449
to go. Pair it with a basic phone that has a

01:06:21.449 --> 01:06:24.130
hotspot. Don't put a SIM card in it. I don't

01:06:24.130 --> 01:06:26.889
think it's necessary. Right. And you're good

01:06:26.889 --> 01:06:30.929
to go. There you have it. I am intrigued by the

01:06:30.929 --> 01:06:33.409
Remarkable, though, also. Yes. Just to feel how

01:06:33.409 --> 01:06:36.670
it writes. Because I have, as maybe noted earlier,

01:06:36.829 --> 01:06:40.739
but... I have switched to writing more. We weren't

01:06:40.739 --> 01:06:43.079
recording that last part. Can you do the recap

01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:48.340
again? I'm kidding. Don't. That was a joke. Oh,

01:06:48.340 --> 01:06:51.960
Simpsons. They've been around too long. There.

01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:54.280
Are you happy? It's gone. Yes, I'm happy. Boom.

01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:58.300
Mostly because of the cheese. The cheese is good.

01:06:58.980 --> 01:07:02.059
The cheese is good. Beer and cheese. Papa's cheese.

01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:04.500
Is there Papa's cheese? Anybody have Papa's cheese?

01:07:05.260 --> 01:07:08.710
No, it's Papa's. John. Papa John's cheese. That's

01:07:08.710 --> 01:07:11.389
a different thing altogether. I don't think you'd

01:07:11.389 --> 01:07:14.989
want to put that on pizza. I don't know. It depends

01:07:14.989 --> 01:07:20.070
on the pizza. Did you know that they put pineapple

01:07:20.070 --> 01:07:23.090
on pizzas? Yeah. I don't know why they allow

01:07:23.090 --> 01:07:26.590
it. I'm just saying they're worse things that

01:07:26.590 --> 01:07:28.289
have gone on pizzas. My wife will tell me that

01:07:28.289 --> 01:07:31.769
that's not cool. My pretzel is breaking. She's

01:07:31.769 --> 01:07:35.190
a fan. Anybody here have Donato's pizza? No.

01:07:35.699 --> 01:07:39.980
Donato? They were a chain up north. I know Luminati's.

01:07:40.099 --> 01:07:44.440
I know. I always called it Donato's, but it was

01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:47.019
Donato's. Donato's. And they had a Hawaiian,

01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:48.840
they always cut, there was round pizzas. Please

01:07:48.840 --> 01:07:52.000
don't eat Donato's. Round pizzas cut into squares.

01:07:52.579 --> 01:07:55.019
Okay. Are you going to deny Donna? And they were

01:07:55.019 --> 01:07:58.119
almost all thin crust. I'm denying her eating

01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:02.360
her toes. Disgusting. That is disgusting. But

01:08:02.360 --> 01:08:04.320
yeah, they had a Hawaiian pizza that they added

01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:08.500
like cinnamon to it. And Tina really liked that.

01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:13.000
I don't know. You know, I get the feeling if

01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:15.059
more people at Pine Cove would watch the show,

01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.420
they would probably call me out for being as

01:08:18.420 --> 01:08:21.680
quiet as I am at work. There you go. You talk

01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:24.420
for like an hour and a half. If they would just

01:08:24.420 --> 01:08:29.250
give you beer. Beer and cheese and pretzels.

01:08:29.310 --> 01:08:31.390
I'm just saying there's a way to get them to

01:08:31.390 --> 01:08:38.770
talk, guys. And it may involve alcohol. So what

01:08:38.770 --> 01:08:42.390
else you got for us? Nothing. I mean, until we

01:08:42.390 --> 01:08:46.750
get this videocaster or roadcaster video S working.

01:08:47.489 --> 01:08:51.569
Is the S like the iPhone 4S? I think so. Or is

01:08:51.569 --> 01:08:54.090
the S as in simple? I think it's S as in small.

01:08:54.329 --> 01:09:00.300
Small. It's S as in. Does not work right now.

01:09:00.500 --> 01:09:03.239
It's not. Big things come in small packages.

01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:06.899
Yeah, no, I really do think if I can figure out

01:09:06.899 --> 01:09:11.060
exactly what the problem is here, then this is

01:09:11.060 --> 01:09:13.300
going to be tremendous for a lot of different

01:09:13.300 --> 01:09:15.600
reasons. It's going to be huge. It's going to

01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:19.590
be really huge. I was. Based on the videos that

01:09:19.590 --> 01:09:22.689
I saw, really expecting more plug and play than

01:09:22.689 --> 01:09:26.930
it actually turned out to be. Well, Mr. Jack,

01:09:27.229 --> 01:09:30.869
what's his name? Your YouTube guy? I can't think

01:09:30.869 --> 01:09:34.689
of his name right now. Jack Horner. It was not

01:09:34.689 --> 01:09:39.170
Jack Horner. No. I've seen his videos before.

01:09:39.310 --> 01:09:43.909
He likes all the colors. Maybe it's not Jack.

01:09:44.649 --> 01:09:49.350
No, it's Tom. Tom's hardware? Tom Buck. Tom Buck.

01:09:49.390 --> 01:09:54.470
There you go. Oh, I'm trying to remember the

01:09:54.470 --> 01:09:56.310
guy's name that was on TV. I know he passed away

01:09:56.310 --> 01:09:59.609
on Saturday nights or maybe it was Sunday nights.

01:09:59.630 --> 01:10:02.729
He'd have the, the hunting show, the outdoorsman.

01:10:03.149 --> 01:10:06.810
Oh, um, it's something, Buck McNeely. Yeah. Buck

01:10:06.810 --> 01:10:10.550
McNeely. There you go. My wife loved to watch

01:10:10.550 --> 01:10:13.229
that when it was on. He wouldn't, he wouldn't

01:10:13.229 --> 01:10:15.949
think that she would enjoy that, but there was

01:10:15.949 --> 01:10:19.010
something about it that she, She liked watching

01:10:19.010 --> 01:10:24.670
the show. Interesting. Hmm. Anyway, next time,

01:10:24.670 --> 01:10:28.149
next time we'll have it. The road. I have to

01:10:28.149 --> 01:10:29.770
admit, I'm disappointed that this is the show

01:10:29.770 --> 01:10:33.810
we have. Well, the cheese was worth it. Oh yeah,

01:10:33.829 --> 01:10:36.350
for sure. And the beer. Thank you, Jason. Yeah,

01:10:36.449 --> 01:10:40.149
you're welcome. Uh, yeah, we'll see you next

01:10:40.149 --> 01:11:04.460
time. All right. See you everybody. Great, but

01:11:04.460 --> 01:11:06.079
that was over way too soon.
