 stay probably a little bit. Yeah, I think it's Wednesday. Are you connecting straight to Salt Lake? No, that is going to be horrible. I'm actually going to Paris. I'm in Finland now. So I'm going to go to Paris that are like on the connect. The connection is happening in Paris. So it's not like I, you know, hang out in Paris. Yeah, you're not going to get out of the airport. Yeah, it's like three hours to Paris, then 10 hours or so to Salt Lake. And on the way back, I'm going through London. Oh, so it's Paris to Salt Lake Direct? Yeah, yeah. Well, thank God, I don't want to have to. No, I was I was thinking you were going to have to go through New York or Houston or something. No. Oh, I, I, you know, I wouldn't have come if that was. I don't mind. It's honestly, the, I mean, there was there was mitigating or aggravating factors for my last trip. With my teeth being pulled out and all, but going back, going, getting there was not fun and going back was really not fun. Yeah. And Salt Lake doesn't shave that much time off from LA. It's maybe an hour at most, right? It's basically, yeah, it's basically the same. You go, you go north anyway. It's not like. So I'm actually for the first time dreading it. Dreading flying over. Yeah, because last time was so I couldn't sleep. And it was, I'm hoping it goes better. But which airline did you use last time? Can't even remember this time. It's Delta, I think. Yeah, it would make sense. Delta would have the direct flight because that's a hub in Salt Lake. And I'm flying Delta as well, but it's a much shorter flight. I mean, you know, if it, if even if it was a 10, 11 hours flight direct, it wouldn't be a big deal. But having that layover on it, you know, it makes the trip from a 10 hours or 12 hours thing into a 15, 16 hours. Yeah. And if you can't sleep on the way, which I probably won't be able to because they're very early. It's going to be harsh. But on the other hand, there's no way I'm going to lose, you know, I'm not going to be at the last nerd. The final, the final countdown. Exactly. All right. Well, let's get going on DTNS then. That'll cheer us up. Yay, DTNS. Are you ready? I was born ready indeed. Interesting that you should say that. Here we go. The Daily Tech News Show is brought to you by people like me, not outside organizations. To learn more, go to dailytechnewshow.com slash support. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, June 20th, 2017. I'm Tom Merritt, Patrick Beja, sitting alongside. And we are about to tuck in to a feast of technology news to help you understand the world around you. You know, I was in Paris last week and I voted and I came back here in Finland right now and I'm doing the Daily Tech News Show. So everything is awesome. You're quite the mover and shaker and congratulations on a successful democratic election. Yeah, some might tell you it went otherwise, but that's a topic. Yeah, I was trying to phrase it as democracy was actually enacted, not that you were a candidate did or did not win. But there was a peace of mind. Well, that's yeah. Let's start with a few tech things you should know about. The one plus five was officially announced. No big surprises, though. Snapdragon 835, 16 megapixel dual camera, 8 gigs of RAM for 539 bucks, or you can pay a little less, get 6 gigs of RAM for 470 bucks for sale starting online June 27th, unless you can find one of the select pop up stores that are around and about. I almost missed the days when one plus was making big headlines with these incredible values for these prices. Yeah, these are just good values, but not incredible. Well, I mean, we're used to the incredible values, I would say. Yeah, Instagram stories has now now has 250 million daily active users compared to the 166 million for Snapchat. Instagram also added an option to save live broadcasts for 24 hours after streaming. Ah, so the place where everyone already is is the place more people are using doesn't shock. You know, I just want to say great artists steel. Mark Zuckerberg is the greatest artist there ever was. He has stolen everything in his product. Facebook, if you don't remember, has been stealing the best features from everywhere for years. And he is incredibly good at that. So that's my two cents. Starting today in Minneapolis, Seattle and Houston, Uber riders can tip their drivers in the app. Uber promises a nationwide rollout of just such a thing by the end of July. That seems like a good idea. We think it's the one thing that makes me want to use leftover Uber was I can't tip the driver in the app. So good for Uber for fixing that. That was a big one for me. Yeah, we things connected health devices are now we things connected health devices are now officially being sold under the Nokia brand. These this includes its body and go trackers home video and air quality monitors and thermal thermometer. And you Nokia body scale and premium blood pressure monitor were added to the lineup at health.nokia.com. And I mean, if you're withings fan, I guess this makes a big deal because that name is now in the books. And everything says Nokia. But it's also a big deal that that Nokia is moving into withings very successful line of devices. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's an interesting departure for Nokia. That's what it's like that. By the way, big Jim points out that while the one plus five goes on sale June 27th for most people, there is a way to order it today with a special early bird offer and discount. You have to use a password, not a password. I guess it's a code called clearer photos. And there is a link if you go to one plus net slash one plus dash five that says jump in on the early drop get your one plus five now and apparently that's only in the US and Europe that you can do that. Thank you, big Jim, for the clarification still officially June 27th. That's not wrong. It's just that they're given some people a little extra way around it, just to make it complicated for people like me to explain it to you. Alright, now here are some more top stories. Google launched its new job search feature pulling listings from LinkedIn monster way up direct employers career builder Facebook, job sites on company sites. I mean, it's basically just this is just a search engine. This is not a competing job search to monster or LinkedIn. This is just saying, hey, wherever there's a job posting, we're going to index it like a search engine and show it as a job listing. Google's using machine learning to filter out duplicates. And it will link out to the listing that the algorithm thinks is the most complete job description. Once users click on a job, Glassdoor and indeed ratings are shown for the company. So you can get an idea of like, how good is this company work for? And notably Google's not doing anything with the application process that all goes right back to the site that the job was listed at job searches available in English on desktop and mobile through the Google search box. So this is, I guess they already do that for a variety of different things like videos, images, and, you know, even for shopping. But it's interesting that they're still expanding these kinds of sub search, you know, products. And I'm not too sure how the job companies are going to take it. I guess those that are going to be able to best SEO optimized for this are going to make take advantage of it. And the others are going to complain about this. I mean, maybe this seems like one of the odd cases where Google did it right. They didn't try to like with shopping, they did the opposite shopping, they said, you have to pay us to me in the shopping section. And people got very upset about that. Travel has been very complicated because they're not always getting the cooperation of the people involved and they had to jump through a lot of hoops and they're still getting a lot of complaints. This one, it does seem like the job companies are cooperating and saying, Yeah, whatever gets more people to come to our site, we're willing to do because you Google are acting like an impartial search engine in this case, instead of trying to replace us. Yeah, I'm guessing there will still be people who will find reasons to complain. But I guess we'll see. Spotify confirmed it is testing a sponsored song program that lets music labels pay to add songs at the top of playlist pages followed by users of Spotify's free tier, free tier, that's important, at least for now. Users can opt out of sponsored song in a new sponsored content section of the settings. Sponsored songs appear above playlist tracks with the ability to play and save the song to the list instantly. Spotify told TechCrunch, if the test goes well, it will roll out officially to the free tier users. So the immediate reaction to this is, oh, a new form of Paola, right? Paola being the grand American tradition of disc jockeys being paid by the record companies to play their songs. It was made illegal. There were scandals. And it's, you know, it's kind of a black mark on American radio history. The idea that those popular songs really weren't popular at all. They were just disc jockeys making money to to hype certain songs. And of course, similar things have gone on since Paola was made illegal. This is different, though, because it's not Spotify is not trying to pretend like this isn't this is a popular song being recommended by a DJ. Spotify is saying very clearly like, Hey, here's something that was paid for. If you like it, you can add it to your playlist or save the song to your library, if not no big deal. And you can also turn it off. So while the Paola comparisons are there, I don't think it's nearly as bad. No, and I think, I mean, it's a free tier. Yes, radio was kind of was free basically as well. But as long as it's labeled correctly, I mean, when you're when you're using the free tier, then I don't think you really have a leg to stand on when you're complaining about it. You can always stop using the service that you're getting for free. The reason they're even giving you an option to turn it off, right? Exactly. So I mean, I'm sure some people are going to complain, but I feel personally like those complaints are are a little bit entitled. Let's say if these things are done correctly, the issue with Paola isn't that isn't so much that record companies were paying DJs to play their songs. It was that it was they were pretending that we're just playing the popular songs. So as long as everything is done above board, I think it's fine. Yeah. And the other thing is this is a test that isn't done yet. So, you know, on the other side of the coin, I don't want to give Spotify a free card because if they change this, which they could, where the songs just show up in your playlist and it's hard to tell that they're a sponsored song. And when I say your playlist, they're not going to put it in your actual constructed playlist. They're going to put it in the playlist that are put out like here's like Hot Rock songs or pop hits. And if you don't know that a song is in there, then it starts to feel like Paola. So I hope they don't do that. The one version of this that TechCrunch was able to capture in a screenshot showed the song at the top of the screen on your mobile device separated from the playlist. So to me, that's very clearly an advertisement. It's in the advertisement slot. And like you say, you have control over it. You can go in and opt out. Again, if after the test is done, they took away the ability to opt out, then that would be bad too. The outline published a report sharing highlights from Apple's internal presentation on product security, showing that their internal product security still needs work because the memo on not leaking leaked. Apple believes that more leaks come from its employees than from supply chain, which didn't use to be the case. That's a recent change. They've assigned investigators with backgrounds in the NSA, the FBI and the secret service to counter these leaks. They've done a lot of work with vendors overseas, particularly in China that seems to be paying off, but they're now going to do these internal product demonstrations basically to try to get people internally at Apple, employees of Apple to not leak. Director of Global Security David Rice described black market sellers posting signs at bus stops and factory dormitories offering to pay for unannounced Apple parts and components. Apple apparently has sometimes bought parts themselves to prevent leaks. They had to do that with the 5C. It was something like 19,000 5C cases got out and they had to go buy them up before they leaked. As for on campus, Apple says two major leakers were caught last year. And so they did a lot of things to sort of guilt their employees like when you leak, it just breaks everybody's hearts and it undermines our efforts and it ruins keynotes and it takes away surprise. But they also said, look, if you've said something accidentally and you realize that it wasn't good and it was too much, come report it. Usually people get in trouble and get let go because they're trying to cover up the leaks. So there are two elements to this. First, I think this could be, I'm not saying it is, but it could be an intentional leak because when you read it, there is a chilling effect. If you're an Apple employee, I'm not talking about, you know, maybe employees in, in, in China, you know, who work for Foxconn or you're talking about campus. I'm talking about campus, right. It is scary. All of the energy and, and efforts they're putting into this. And I think that Apple employees who might not be aware that there is this intensive of a search for leakers might think twice about leaking now that they know. I'm sure this is. I don't think I don't think Apple goes and leaks this to get the message to its own employees. I think they have better ways of doing that. But I will, I will go partway down this road. I think that I think they'll go, I'll go partway. They might have leaked it. He is embarrassing as it is to have your memo on leaks leak. I suppose they could have done it to make journalists feel bad. In other words, when I was reading this, I was like, wow, if I was trying to get information out of someone and then suddenly I knew that if I succeeded, it would ruin their lives at work, I might think twice about trying to get that information. Now, I'm not saying that everyone would. But but some people might go, you know what, that's not cool. That's fine. You don't have to tell me those people aren't the people like Mark Gurman, though. Sure. Yes. No, of course. But I'm wondering, you know, if they didn't want to make a big PR hoopla about look, how well, you know, how much we how much effort we put into preventing leaks, you know, if they did it intentionally, then the next time a leak happens, which it would, they would look really dumb. If it leaks, then it they look less dumb. So I think it might be it. I still think there's a possibility that they leaked it to get the message out. But the other thing I did want to mention is that phrase. They use the surprise and delight. You know, surprising people with a new product announcement has a dollar value. It does make a bigger splash if people don't know that it's coming. Every, you know, it's not just for Apple, but every time we hear about the new product and we've had it leaked for two or three weeks before it's been presented. And when it shows up, it's just like, OK, so it's what we already knew, then it doesn't have the same impact. So it is a huge marketing tool to have something kept secret. So I understand they put a lot of effort into. Yeah, they want that they go through those three hour WVC presentations on because they want to make a big deal out of the surprise. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I hesitated saying this, but when I was working at Blizzard, you know, there is a big part of this. I did experience this as well. And as an employee, and I guess it does work for some of the Apple employees as well, if you manage to get to a presentation without having had that announcement leak as an employee, you feel really good about it and like having the world discover the thing you've been working on for months or years, it feels a lot better when you, you know, when you managed to keep it a secret. So I think there is something to be done with the employees to get them to understand, oh, you know, it's so great when we manage to keep the thing secret and have them shed their tear and think, yes, great Apple, we agree. It might be effective. Netflix announced the debut of interactive stories that let viewers decide what happens next. The first releases are meant for younger viewers. Puss Puss, how do you even pronounce? I know, I know. Puss in Boo in Boots in book trapped in an epic tale. It's the Puss in Boots character from Shrek. Right, exactly. So Puss in Book trapped in an epic tale launched globally Tuesday. It pauses 13 times, has two different endings and lasts between 18 and 39 minutes. Buddy Thunderstruck, the maybe pile, arrives July 14th and stretch Armstrong. The breakout is set for some time next year. Keep in mind the Netflix website Android devices, Chromecast and Apple TV do not support interactive content at this time, which gave me fits. I was trying to try. I was going to try this out. I launched the website. How does the website not support this? I'm like the one thing that'll have it as the website, right? I go to the website and it just plays through the choices without giving me a. I'm like, well, that's not work. And I'm like, all right, well, I'll go to my Apple TV. Down to my Apple TV does the same thing. And then I go back and read the Netflix posting more carefully. And I see, OK, I tried two of the things that doesn't work on. I launched an iPhone and it worked fine. And it does stop. And interestingly, I discovered there's slightly different V.O. If it knows you have the ability to make a choice, then if it doesn't. So it's also available as a straightforward story product. Yeah, essentially. And if you don't have the ability to make the choices, it plays it like Puss in Book is making the choices. And so when it gets to the part of the choice instead of saying, now it's your turn, it says, oh, I see that you've made this choice, Puss in Book. And then it moves on. Interesting. So I think it's working only on those devices because they're testing it initially. I'm sure it will come to the other devices quickly enough. And also I'm guessing I don't know that for first hand or for a fact, but that's probably the device kids use the most. You give them a tablet, they play with it. And, you know, you have 18 to 39 minutes of peace in your household. So I'm guessing that's why they're doing this. But it's really interesting because it sort of builds, starts building a bridge to things that we see in video games. And I could absolutely see some video games, mainly telltale games, which are heavily story driven and also have choice structures somehow be converted into this format potentially, or, you know, it's just it sort of starts stepping into that realm where they could do a lot more even than just this. But it's just starting with kids stuff. But they haven't ruled out doing Choose Your Own Adventure for adults. And I would be interested to see if they come up with a good use for that. Yeah, I mean, the thing is most of these Choose Your Own Adventure things are usually, you know, usually they end up being somewhat similar, no matter what you do. And specifically, which one was it? I can't remember the diagrams we saw had choices like six different choices. But they all came back to the same story right after the choice. There were some more complicated one. Maybe it's the second one, the Buddy Thunderstruck that has a more complicated structure. But I I do worry. I mean, in video games, at least we have often had trouble creating truly different stories and outcomes these types of entertainment products. But maybe they'll fair better. Amazon has launched Prime Wardrobe, a service for Amazon Prime subscribers that lets customers pick between three and 15 items of clothing that Amazon sells to try on before buying customers who keep three to four of those items save 10 percent and five or more items saved saves you 20 percent. Amazon includes a return label and customers have seven days to decide what's getting sent back. So this is like Stitch Fix or Bombshell or Trunk Club, except you don't have to pay with all of those. Actually, Bombshell may not. But with with Stitch Fix, you have to pay a monthly fee to get the box and then you can choose to buy the clothing or send it back to them for free. Amazon's like, you don't have to pay anything. Just find something you like on our site. And I don't know that every article of clothing is part of this, but find something that is and they say they've got like millions and millions of items. You can just have it shipped to you in a box and try it on. See if you like it. If you don't send it back. So clever. And the cleverest part is just just keep it one more. One more. You'll get a discount. All right. Two more. You'll get an even bigger bigger discount. At that point, you're basically getting it almost for free. Why wouldn't you come on Stitch Fix does the same thing where if you keep the whole box that they sent you. Now, they have a stylist. Amazon doesn't have a stylist. You're picking all the stuff. Stitch Fix picks the stuff. And the idea is you'll like it all so much. If you get picked, keep the whole box. You get a discount. So Amazon is just playing that game in a way that I think is really clever for them. I actually prefer the clothing rental services like LaTote or the Mr. Collection where the idea is not just try it on. And if you like it buy it, the idea is wear it. You can wear it around. You can even to a certain extent get it dirty and then send it back and they'll take care of washing it. If you like it, you can still keep it and buy it. But the idea is it gives you a little more runway with it. You can actually wear it out in public. Well, we don't have these services in France, but they certainly look appealing. Yeah, because you don't need help looking good in France. Everybody just dresses perfectly. I wasn't going to go there, but really, yes. Folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, subscribe to DailyTechHeadlines.com. As a podcast, you can get it on the Amazon Echo as a flash-breathing or in the brand new anchor app as a channel on anchor.fm. And that's a look at our top stories. Now, Netflix and other streaming services could be forced to carry a certain quota of Australian content as part of a comprehensive review of Australian and children's screen content on subscription video on demand services. The Department of Communications and the Arts, the Australian Communications and Media Authority and Screen Australia are all considering a quota of Australian content for streaming services. Right now, over-the-air broadcasts already have a quota. This is common in a lot of countries. 55% of over-the-air broadcasts must offer local content between 6 a.m. and midnight. The Foxtel Now service already notes that eight of its top 10 non-sports programs in the last 12 months were local production. So they're trying to say, hey, we're already there. EU is in the middle of considering a proposal that used to be 20% but a lot of countries were able to get it raised to a proposed 30% of local content. Apparently, France already requires both broadcasters and video on demand platforms to have at least 60% of the works in their catalogs be European in origin. Well, I didn't even know it was 60%. Yeah, European, though, not just French. Right. Canada has its own laws, although they don't apply yet to streaming services, but I know there's been talk up there as well. So Patrick explained to me, like, I mean, Netflix, I think has last estimate 21% of its content in Europe is European in origin, but they just raised that to 30% so they would have to up that. What's the idea behind these rules? So I think one piece of background, I would say, which is important to understand in order to understand these stories is that without getting political, every country around the world, except the US, really has two cultures. I would say we have our local culture and our American culture. I said America, our American culture. But really, we have American culture. Everything that you guys produce from movies to TV shows to music and to an extent literature. But I think that's a little bit less a little bit more equal. But all of these are very present. I will say invasive, but very present. And there is a really it's really difficult or really concerning for those countries to realize that culture is. I don't want to say disappearing because that's put putting it a little bit too harshly. But really, the local culture is threatened by by that overabundance of American culture. So the worry is that the overseas culture would would just overwhelm local culture and you wouldn't be making any kind of local culture anymore. Right, which I think for many areas is somewhat the local culture would always exist. I think in music or even TV, we would always have local cultures because it's very easy to produce or relatively easy to produce. For movies, however, it's a lot more difficult to produce. It costs a lot more. And in many countries, the local movie production is anemic. And in France, for example, we have always managed to to keep a very strong movie production, not quota, but rate or market share because we heavily subsidize and encourage and force, regulate the production. So this ties into Netflix in the sense that it ties into many other actors of that industry. As you mentioned, many TV channels have to participate in the production of movies in the country. So a lot of the movies, unlike the American movies, which are produced at the risk of the studio that produces it here. Often it's a combination of state sponsorship, TV channels prepaying for it in order for them to be able to have content to broadcast that will count as French produced and these kinds of things. So for Netflix, it creates a unique dilemma or problem or question, especially for the movie industry. And so we can get to that in a second. But yeah, that's the reason basically why you is trying to say, all right, you can come play in our, you know, sandpit, but you have to contribute. Yeah. And it's not just Netflix. Stan in Australia is also a service that would fall under this rule that Australia is proposing. But Netflix is obviously the big player because Netflix is global. It's American. It has a whole lot of content and it makes its content in various parts of the world. I think Netflix has tried to get ahead of this issue a little bit, but there is no regulation on streaming services. So I mean, set aside the note because I know there's a lot of you out there who say there shouldn't be any regulation in the first place, you know, and you even though you've understood what Patrick says, maybe you disagree with it, but set that aside. If you are regulating television, why wouldn't you regulate the streaming services? So the logic goes and Netflix is kind of in an oppositional situation to that local industry, even though Netflix tries to create products in all of the markets that it's in. It can't create them in every single one. But yeah, they're making shows in France with French production companies and French actors and the people who are directing shows and making directing movies for Netflix. Love how Netflix operates because they just hand them the keys and let them go, apparently. But the Netflix is seen as a threat. And I think you were just telling me before the show that at the Cannes Film Festival, that popped out. Yeah. And it was a really interesting slash concerning and bizarre thing that happened there. I'm guessing you guys know what the Cannes Film Festival is. I don't know how well known it is internationally. But I think everybody knows that it's a film festival. I don't know that they understand how French it is, maybe. Right. So it's basically very, very French. And it's kind of the high brow, auteur film festival, which is often decried for that even in France. But it is still regarded pretty highly as one of the major events and major industry events in the country. And from here, it is very outwards looking. It's not just a French, Frenchy French thing. It is. It also includes movies from all over the world. So what happened this year was that two of the movies presented there were produced by Netflix. And I think one was also produced by Amazon. And they were high quality, regular movies, except we have an issue with the support of the movie industry. We have that chronology of broadcasting content. I'm sure you have a term for this in the U.S. as well. But basically, movies can't come out to DVD or Blu-ray until six months after that. The windowing system is often called. Yeah. So the windowing system. And in our windowing system, the way it's done currently is that a movie can't come to subscription VOD services. They are the end of that chain. Right. So they can't come to subscription VOD service until three years after it's been released in theaters. So Netflix was like, OK, fine, we'll produce the movie. And we just won't put it out in theaters. Yeah. Because Netflix is saying our subscribers are essentially paying for this movie. We're not going to hold it back from them. Exactly. They don't, you know, it makes no sense for them financially or even logically to do things like this. And of course, the Cannes Film Festival being heavily industry related, you had a whole lot of theater unions or theater organizations that were very unhappy about this and very unhappy with the Cannes organization for putting those movies that weren't going to come out to theaters in the running. And there was booing at the showing and there was a bunch of things happened. And the irony, well, I guess the big problem in all of this is that a lot of people said that Netflix is attacking or killing French movie industry or French, you know, audio visual industry with those practices. When, as you mentioned, and as is very clear, they buy a lot of French produced content and a lot of European produced content to put on their on their service because they have to and maybe also because they want to, because that's what creates a good service for their customers. So we're in that, you know, old world versus new world situation again, yet again, where I'm personally on this specific issue, I side on the on the side of Netflix, but I understand the problem. Yeah. Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit. You can submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. A few things to get to before we're out of here. A pick of the day comes from William, who says he wanted to tell us about a new podcast from LeVar Burton called LeVar Burton Reads. It's definitely a spiritual successor to Reading Rainbow, says William. And it's fantastic. Each week, he reads a short story doing voices and has great professional sound design. He says it's going to be mostly sci-fi and fantasy, but not always. Thanks for a great show from very hot and muggy Atlanta. Pretty much love everything LeVar Burton's ever done. So I haven't checked this out yet, but I plan to. Thank you, William, for the pick. Send your picks to us, folks. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. You can find more picks at dailytechnewshow.com slash picks. A shank says, hey, Tom, Patrick and Roger. He knew you were going to be on Patrick. Amazing. Good planning. This is an interesting news story that came out recently. The United Nations is looking to use blockchain tech to provide a universal ID system in the near future. This would be especially useful to refugees, giving them access to basic services such as health care, et cetera, in whichever country they may end up. You can find more on the story at Reuters. I almost wish Scott was in for this piece. So sorry, Patrick. Cheers. A shank. And Patrick, you brought up a good question when we were talking about this, which is. Well, I have another question. Why does he wish Scott was in for this piece? Because everyone loves to see Scott's head explode when we try to talk about Bitcoin or the blockchain. Oh, that's why. OK, never mind. Yeah. But right, I did have another question. How do you actually as a refugee, as a person, how do you identify? Do you have a piece of cryptography like digital cryptography? Yeah, I want to see more like I understand how the blockchain can be used to make sure that that ID is non-transferable. I get that. That that's really cool. What I don't see in this Reuters article, and maybe I'm just missing it, is how do you ensure that the digital ID is matched to the right human person? Is, you know, is there a password login? Is it a two-factor authentication situation? It could be that, but it doesn't say. But if it is whatever it is, it could be, you know, that portion of the system could be transferred theoretically. It says biometric in this one sentence. And I don't know if that just means fingerprint. So maybe, yeah, maybe there is some kind of biometric element that identifies you, which I'm sure, you know, you were saying maybe some of the listeners were thinking on the Netflix stories. Maybe it shouldn't be regulated. I'm sure that a lot of people will see, you know, biometric, unique identifier, and that's going to raise a couple of red flags. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Well, thank you, Patrick Beja, as always, for helping us understand a little more about how things are done in different parts of the world, which you did not only today, but also every time you do the Phileus Club, which I appreciate very much. Thank you. Yeah. The Phileus Club is a show you could listen to if you understand if you like understanding stuff, how stuff works in different parts of the world. We just did an episode on health care, actually. And we did. We talked a lot about health care on the previous episode, and I felt it was a certain angle and I wanted to have another angle. So you can go check that out at Frenchspin.com. And while you're there, go check out Pixels as well. We summarized the entirety of E3 and had a lot to say about that wonderful video game trade show where the biggest announcements of the year happened. So if you didn't follow all of this and you want to have a summary, you can go again at Frenchspin.com and check it out. It's called Pixels. Yeah, I have to second your approach to health care on the Phileus Club because you had a couple of conservative guests who talked about it from the US perspective, and then your health care special was explaining this is how it works in Europe if you didn't understand. So I think that's important for people to hear just so they understand. Like, hey, it's you may have some misperceptions about what happens and what doesn't. You may still not like it, but at least you should understand how it really works. Yeah, that's the goal. Frenchspin.com.

This show is part of the Frogpants Network. Get more at frogpants.com. Well, I hope you have enjoyed this program. Bacchum. Good stuff. What should we call it? Perhaps George? Why not? Sounds like a strong British name. Oh, we could spell it with an S at the end. Then it could be French. Yes. George. If the way you pronounce it. And like, what was it? Frenchy French things? Frenchy French Frenchy French thing. I think there's a French too many in that. But Frenchy French French French. Whoa, we got a lot of them in there today. All right, can you hear me now? Yes, we can. Some days it works. Right, it's a leak about leaks of the leak. Everything is awesome. 1839 minutes of peace. Pay YOLO, Netflix and Choose. One plus five equals five. Frenchy Frenchy French thing. I choose you, Netflix. Choose your own adventure. Ending number four will shock you. Netflix glows global locally. Netflix playing over or down under. I'll show you all those at home movies. The French conniption. But it wasn't just only a French thing. You have to spell conniption, can-niption. And then it works, or doesn't. This Amazon Prime made me look fat. OzCon. Oh, I see. I was trying to do can-con, but I'm sure it has always had content loss. Meeting on the ground. Locally grown Netflix. Netflix is not the Wizard of Oz. Netflix needs to do some more waltzing with Matilda. Play YOLO. That's funny. 20,000 leaks under the sea. Tom keeps saying puss in bokeh. What do you think, Patrick? You got any catching your ear? Well, I always like everything is awesome because I'm a positive person. But yes, Frenchy French thing. I kind of like it. And it's about Netflix. Leaks break hearts. Break hearts is kind of... Oh, I also like 18 to 39 minutes of peace. Yeah, depending. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of good ones in there. How much leaking would a leaker leak if a leaker could leak leaks? That's a bit too long. That's a good one, BioCal. Page YOLO is really good. But yeah, I like that one too. It's hot, yeah. French, kind of, different. Roger, do you have a favorite? Netflix, I really liked the discussion. I thought it was great. Oh, thanks. Trying to find it. I'm not really can't find anything that I would lean towards. Well, then Frenchy French thing would be my... Okay. Yeah. Blame it on the French. Blame it on the French. Blame it on... I like how Patrick took an Australia story and just turned it into a France story. I've always been wondering that, because it's interesting, because media is very easy to apply a cultural... tariff sign, right? Movies, music, books and stuff. What about things like food? Because food is very culturally defined as well. Oh, like McDonald's. Yeah, like, does McDonald's need to come up with like 30% of the menu? That's a good question. Is there a support for local food, local cuisine? Beyond the existing taxes, I don't think so, but they also employ people anyway, right? They have to employ people. They have to have... Well, in that case, it's not just about culture, is it? It's also about jobs. Well, I mean, if you want to talk about food as culture, I don't think we want McDonald's to have anything to do with that. And we don't have a problem with French food culturally, right? We already have a very strong... So, the problem is that French television just isn't good enough to compete on its own. Yes. Whereas French food is. Yes. Interesting. I absolutely believe that French televisions and French movies are on life support. Well, mainly movies are on life support because we choose to do so. Maybe that's something I didn't make clear enough. Yeah, yeah. They are on life support. But the big question is... No, you said that, but it just didn't really strike me until I made the comparison with food. Because... But the big question is, and I think that I probably should have said, should it be on life support? And the answer isn't necessarily no, because out of all of the European countries, France is the only one that or one of the only ones that has a strong cinema culture. And yes, it might not draw the crowds, but it does create an aura of cultural relevance for France in that industry and as a whole as a result. You know, French cinema is very influential and is regarded as highly qualitative or critically qualitative in the world of movies or, you know... Well, it's funny. In a way, what the French support of its movie industry does is the same thing Netflix is doing, which is say, we are giving you money to make a film that private enterprise might not normally give you the money for, right, because it's not guaranteed to make its money back. Netflix is able to do that too, to say, like, go make your movie, we're not going to worry about box office receipts because all we want is a certain percentage of our audience out there to want to stream it. So it's not exactly the same thing, but there's a certain similar freedom offered to the creators in both situations. Yeah, no, absolutely. It is exactly how that works and it is somewhat similar. And, you know, I do want to mention there are some good French movies. Of course. And also, Australia was part of Eurovision and has been part for a few years. Which I never understood. So I think it means that it's absolutely acceptable to talk about your European rules when you're talking about... About a country that's part of Eurovision. You're going to pull out the Play the Eurovision card on this one slide. Of course. Well, some people are still listening to this. You know, the patrons are still listening to this. And they will tell me if they agree with me or not that this absolutely justifies it and it makes it natural that we would talk about your... If you don't understand what Patrick's talking about, there's an annual singing competition. Oh, come on, everyone knows Eurovision. Not in the US, they don't. Where each European country sends a singer and an original song to compete in May for the right to host next year's Eurovision. And two years ago, was it that Australia was included as part of the 50th anniversary, right? And the reason was because Eurovision is so popular in Australia. Australians love watching Eurovision, but they never get to cheer for their own person because Australia is not in Europe. So they made an exception for the 50th anniversary and then it's now stuck. They keep letting Australia come back. I mean, they let other countries and to Israel is another one that isn't in Europe. Well, but Israel is at least close to Europe. It's right there, across the Mediterranean. I guess, yeah. I guess, it's a bit of a stretch. It's not as much of a stretch as Australia. Well, no, that's what I'm saying, they're both a stretch. No, that's not the same. Australia is part of the Commonwealth, but at the same time, the UK is kind of exiting the EU, but the EU is not Europe, so it's all complicated. I think as a former colony of the empire, the US should be allowed to participate. Absolutely. And Justin Bieber actually performed at Eurovision, not this year, but I think the year before, right? A couple of years ago, yeah. That was... Yeah, but then people would be upset because the US would try to cram in more nominees than just the United States. It would be like the US in soccer, right? The US would spend, like, all our good talent would go to the voice, and America's in top, got talent. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's what people are thinking. So it would be like, it would be our second tier singers would go to Eurovision. So basically- Everyone sends their second tier talent. Oh, well, yeah, all right, fair enough. Here's our leftovers. Take them. Well, Eurovision is a really interesting cultural phenomenon. A lot of people love it. It's incredibly kitsch, and it's funny because on the Eastern side of Europe, you have a lot of people that are genuinely incredibly invested in that thing. And on the Western side, a lot of people think it's old fashioned and kind of ridiculous. Corny. And you can absolutely see which country really wanted to be part of the modern idea of Europe when the Berlin Wall fell and when the Eastern block was broken up. And in some cases, it also has to do with the desire of the leaders of those countries to align themselves with Western Europe rather than the Eastern block slash Russian block. And so you have a lot of countries that are genuinely very invested in this. And us, you know, old Europe on the West think it's kind of ridiculous and don't really pay attention to it. Everyone thinks it's ridiculous, but some people are invested. Tom is totally invested in it. Oh, yes, I watch it every year now. I kind of discovered it about 10, 11 years ago. And I think what I mean, it was kitschy to begin with. But then when I discovered the BBC feed for it that includes Graham Norton provided the commentary, I was like, OK, he's hilarious. Like, you're not really watching Eurovision, in my opinion, unless you're hearing Graham Norton's commentary on it. It's basically we have fun with it and make fun of it. And but when I met my wife, you know, finished, so not so long very much Western Europe now, but still not so long ago, kind of Eastern Europe, she could not miss a Eurovision song contest. And of course, you know, you make fun of it. And it's, you know, super entertaining and you have a good laugh. But still, I thought it was like no one watched it. But it's like, what is it? The second most watched event in the world? Like after the soccer world cup? Yeah, I think so. The second or third, it's incredibly popular. No kidding. That's crazy. I mean, I was promised hip hop yodel. And there wasn't as much hip hop as I wanted. But it was still pretty good, pretty good. I would call it urban yodel in this year's Eurovision. Yeah, I wasn't, you know, I would have loved the. I think the idea of hip hop yodel was great, but they didn't deliver. I agree with you. Yeah, I still liked the song, though, because it had yodeling in it. Oh, there's a lot of songs. The yodeling was interesting. Do you like yodeling? There's lots of songs just yodeling. Well, but OK, fine. I that's not your your intentionally misunderstanding what I'm saying. Yes, I think you are. My my my thing crapped out. So all I heard was that I like the urban yodeling. Go ahead. Yeah, right? Exactly, urban yodeling. Oh, you're going to get bagged on. Yeah, I'm trying not to get taken down. See, yodel, yodel, yodel. It's good stuff. They're yodeling, but they're not rap yodeling. There was the rap that they and and I guess it's not even really hip hop either. No, there's virtually no rap. Yeah, it's more pop yodeling. Yeah, kind of. They had that in the 80s, too. A little bit. Big Jim says, I want Gregorian chanting. You very likely will get it. It's been there before. There. Yeah, there are some really interesting choices. I mean, there are codes for the Eurovision, like wind machines are very much a staple of the Eurovision. Tacky outfits, strict hairdos, tacky outfits. Absolutely. Yeah, it's it's it's an interesting cultural experience. Yeah, and quite quite a lot of, I don't know, milk maids, odd costumes. There were a couple of times where even for horse masks kind of. Oh, that that. Yes, thank you, T2 and ICU. Yeah, but did you do you remember it was three years ago? I think there were I don't think it was milk maids. Was it milk maids? And Poland had the milk maids. That's what I was thinking of. But was it was it the one three years ago? I think we're OK, because it was like churning butter. Exactly. Turning butter and with kind of revealing outfits. Yes. And they were accentuating the movement of I mean, I mean, I'm embarrassed that I just did the move that I did. I can now imagine. Yeah, yeah, right. So there you go. More to come on Eurovision in future episodes. Listen, this was a very culturally European. Yeah, your eccentric episode. I'm very we're trying to solve the underlying problem that causes countries to feel they need to mandate percentages of local content, we're trying to share across borders here. Right. Right. All right. Thanks, YouTube people. Have a great time. Enjoy your day. We'll see you tomorrow with Scott John.
