No burgers coming up We are gonna talk about Apple's new MacBook Pros and a little bit a few other Apple things and a roundup of Apple announcements on What I consider an awesome thing that Apple did which is just put out the products and not hold a three-hour announcement about them That's just me. Let's start with a few tech things. You should know Google is rolling out Morse code on the G board keyboard for iOS and updating its Android version Which was previously available Morse code for our G board lets you customize your keyboard and works with Google's standard Autocomplete and autocorrect features as well as Google assistant Google also released a game to make learning Morse code easier if that's something that you would like to know about Yes YouTube give it the new tube take it away first YouTube is releasing a tool called copyright match that is basically content ID for smaller creators Without the option to monetize infringing videos channels with a hundred thousand subscribers get it next week with more channels getting it over The next few months on the other end YouTube creators like Linus tech tips Cerny and Astros it's all Complained that their channels were given a strike or temporarily suspended for violating rules against using YouTube to primarily drive people off YouTube in these cases to twitch YouTube said you absolutely can produce videos promoting twitch But and that there is no new enforcement. So algorithm or human mistake in those bands. What's our And now a tale of two regulatory approaches in India the Department of Telecommunications has agreed to adopt rules against ISPs engaging in any form of discrimination or interference in the treatment of online content often called net neutrality Telecom licenses will be amended to reflect these new rules Meanwhile in the net neutrality list US FCC the FCC has approved a change to its rules Removing wording that implied there was a duty to advocate for consumers who do not find resolutions to informal complaints Chairman Ajit Pai said the FCC will still try to help consumers with informal complaints. That's not gonna change Microsoft is launching a free version of its slack competitor Microsoft teams the free version includes support for up to 300 people Includes guest accounts as well with unlimited app integrations messages and search the free version limits file storage to up to 10 gigabytes and 20 2 gigabytes rather per member How funny is it that in 2018? Microsoft is the company that's releasing free versions of established products to undercut To undercut slack to undercut. Yeah, no the big the big Monster slack All right, let's let's talk about the fact that here in 2018. It's about time. We get our flying cars Justin Palo Alto company opener announced its single-seat all-electric v flying machine called the black fly The tandem wing eight rotor craft takes off and lands vertically and flies up to 25 miles at 62 miles an hour it has flown more than 1400 times for a combined distance of 12 Thousand miles controls included joystick and a push-button system for autonomous flight back to its base You don't legally need a pilot's license to operate it But the company will require that you pass the FAA private pilot written examination and get training The company says pricing will eventually be similar to an SUV so dumb question Why wouldn't you need a pilot's license? In the air no, no, it's a dumb. It's not a dumb question There are rules for certain aircraft where you don't because of the way they work You don't need to have a pilot you don't need to have a pilot's license to have a drone So this is just a you climbing inside the drone So it falls into that light aircraft situation where you don't have to get the full pilot's license But but once a human is in a flying object you're a pilot could change I think up till now it's been like hey, you want to take this thing around low altitude away from airports fine We're not gonna make a license for that and I think anybody who's followed the drone conversation knows that there's a Very big need for us to just take a big new fresh look to a lot of these laws because they were designed for a time When this kind of rapid innovation specifically in that mushy middle was not conceivable Yeah, put it put it this way if black flight catches on and everybody's flying these things You bet there will be laws that require you to get a license But it'll be a specific license to this model Well, things about the pilot examination and the reason they may not require it for these lighter aircraft Is it covers things that you don't really need to know to operate these sorts of machines? I? welcome Joe the pilot and anybody else out there who's got an opinion on these these light aircraft because I know you Guys know more about this stuff than we do Twitter has begun removing tens of millions of what the company deems suspicious accounts from users follower counts Explaining that it wants to restore trust. Thank you, Twitter. Some Twitter users obviously inflate their followers on Twitter This is something that you can buy with automated or fake accounts to boost their follower numbers if you want to get a job or Political reasons or lots of reasons to do this Twitter says that the purge will reduce the total combined follower count on Twitter by about 6% I for one welcome fewer Twitter followers because I want my followers to be real. I Don't know about you guys. I lost about 900 followers I think today who knows whether or not that will go further but Yeah, a little bit. I was at I think a 29.9 and now I'm at 29 Tom I know I know I know I'm gonna sound like you know, let's not eat no matter what I say, but I just don't care Well, no, here's the thing I don't care about big follower counts because I know that people who have the most followers Also have the most spam accounts following them. That's just the way Twitter has been this entire time I'm looking at my follower count now and I Haven't gotten docked all that much, but I suspect that I will I know a lot of my followers Just our bots are for whatever reason aren't aren't actually people who are going to engage with me or even not real people at all I think that we all have to get off of this whole You're better if you have more followers and it you know makes you a cooler person in the same vein I do notice that on Instagram something weird is going on because this is all the same It's the same phenomenon on on lots of different networks. I've gained like 2000 Instagram followers in the last month that is totally weird. They're all fake I don't know what's going on, but I hate all this stuff because people think things of you that that they're completely untrue That's why I don't I don't pay attention to it. Well, okay. I know it's it's it's it's essentially meaningless in the long term Actually think it's meaningful Listen, there are many many people in the city that you guys live in that make a very handsome living based on a number That may or may not be real this is something that I do think is serious beyond the back and forth of users Twitter is now in a mature enough place where it can shed 6% of its user base And this is a healthy thing for the platform not a sign that Twitter is all full of bots. They're not going to grow They're not growing I think it's a good thing for the company that they are doing something that probably should have been done a while Okay, Google has enabled a feature for most desktop users in Chrome 67 called site Isolation which runs a different browser process for each domain the feature arrived as an option in Chrome 63 But it's now out there as a default for all before you had to go turn it on yourself Google prioritized development of the function after the specter and meltdown vulnerabilities were made public in January because it mitigates against that Slowly making it enabled by default for more and more users It's now out there for more than 99% of desktop users now Google says the feature will increase your memory overhead in Chrome which already uses up a lot of your memory already In fact, they say it could increase anywhere between 10 and 13 percent But Google says it can now roll back other mitigation efforts which impacted performance Including re-enabling precise timers and shared array buffers, which would be helpful for web apps So fixing specter and meltdown on the one hand in a way that won't require some of the other Loss of functionality that Chrome had but each domain not even a tab each domain is its own process So those domains can't affect any other domains Well, Chrome it slows through a crawl for me on a regular basis Even though I like Chrome so much I'd just never pick another browser because I'm just so used to it. So This is great as long as things won't slow down further It's slowing for a good reason well, and that's fine, but you know, we have things to do Tom sure When a Chrome can isolate the sites like Google's own Sites that constantly crash for me on Chrome at a higher rate than any other Yeah, I mean Gmail. I can barely load it off the top. Oh email on Chrome come on And don't even get me started. All right Here we go Dan Gooden at ours. Technica has an article about a 30 month old tech support scam targeted Dell users The difference between this and other scams that try to fool users into handing over control of their OS is that the scammers have information? Like PC serial numbers and the names phone numbers and email addresses customers gave to the PC maker Dell acknowledges that the acknowledges the scams and warns about them But has not remarked about how these scammers seem to have Internal Dell Information that would seem to be a fairly big part of this Dell My guess is Dell doesn't know that's why they're not saying anything about it So all their statements according to Dan Gooden have been this is an industry-wide problem, which Dan Gooden rightly points out Yeah, there's an industry-wide problem of people pretending to be tech support from companies that aren't that they aren't But not usually having the information that really helps convince people that they're from that company How did people get this Dell info? Dell's not saying anything about that and my guess is they don't know how this info got out It's probably Some IT support person handed over a database or there was a breach one of the two and and somebody got a customer information Database and and is using it For a normal scam normally the way the scam goes is they call you up and like I'm from Microsoft support And we've identified a problem with your computer and then they make you show your you know Your registry or something to trick you into thinking that it's them This is way more convincing because they're like oh well I can tell you your actual serial number on your computer here. It is You don't have to try that hard because someone's like hold on a second as this is scam well obviously It's not because you have all this information Obviously it is because Dell or Microsoft or anybody else is not going to call you about your computer problem You call them. Yeah, so I mean spread the word. I know everybody out there knows this But if you get a call saying something's wrong with the computer, it's a scam hang up Here is in terms of the what did they know and when did they know it of the story that we should be looking for as it develops is Did Dell share this? information With other third parties that maybe they shouldn't have there's no reason to believe they have There's no there is no I mean I mean it is so much more likely that it is some kind of breach or angry employee Likely but here's here's a if I'm looking at the development of this story. You're right. That's the likely the bad Is whether or not there is there is a Different handle of how they share this information. Yeah, you know, and it's the right thing to bring up It just rubs me the wrong way because that's everybody's default assumption now Everybody assumes that if there's there's there's That the company gave it to somebody because because of Cambridge Analytica and etc. Yeah And and I don't think that it's necessarily a negative I think it could be all right. Well in a betterment to support this thing There was this third-party company that we had an agreement with a contract where there's a little bit too much It was by accident and now bleep blop bloop, right? Yeah, but yeah until Dell puts out an explanation though The sugarplum fairies of rumors run wild and everybody's Oh It's not even So as a person who orders, oh, I don't know roughly five meals a week on uber eats possibly more Is as recently as a pizza at midnight last night? Hey, I had things to do guys It would have been nice to know that uber it actually added Venmo as a payment option in the main uber app And also the uber eats app for us customers So you can pay you can split the bill and then you can share your purchases with friends Venmo sort of famously is it Makes you say why you're sharing a purchase With a friend or or paying a friend or getting money from a friend according to uber and more than six million Venmo payments last year Mentioned the word uber in those payment descriptions So obviously makes sense that the company would want to integrate this Venmo also emailed users Thursday That it's phasing out Venmo comm functionality over the coming months Not sure why they'd want to do that, but that's what they told me I got the email including the ability to pay and charge someone on Venmo comm rather than the Venmo app. I Mean, I would assume the reason why is so they don't have to monitor another exploitable element of their company, right? I guess so but it's sort of like I don't know I mean Instagram used to be only an app and then they Introduce Instagram comm because they want wanted more people to use it in more ways that people use the internet in general It's sort of strange that Venmo, which is a very popular payment option It's obviously owned by PayPal would roll back web functionality, which I have used in the past I I use Venmo comm that you know if I'm on my laptop like I don't need to pull my phone out It is weird to reduce functionality, especially open platform functionality where it's gonna be easier for people to use in multiple situations But it could be a security thing could be that some feature They're implementing just doesn't work well on the web and they don't want to spend the money in time to make it work Well on the web and so they're they're deprecating it by the way Thanks to strike it rich for bringing this into the chat room just now. This is happening right now It's still developing the US Justice Department has lodged an appeal of the decision to allow the merger between AT&T and Time Warner Agency had previously said it was not going to appeal the ruling But it has now appealed the lower court ruling to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a Very unusual and awkward since the deal closed on June 14th Yeah What yeah, what are the legalities of rolling back a deal that's closed? I mean, I guess it's never really close Nothing illegal about it. It just makes things more complicated because now if they win their court case you've got to unwind all of that So yeah Filed July 12th notice hereby given that the United States of America plaintive in the above-named case hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for The District of Columbia Circuit from the final judgment entered into this action on June 12 Though they took a month to do it. I mean, this is just gonna cause havoc I mean look when you're when you own the game you get to make the rules So they will the government will do whatever they want, but holy crap. You are not kidding this is I mean we're already covering the stories about The new boss for HBO going in and dictating new rules about the future of that company Yeah, this is a you know that the reason why a lot of these companies got to keep things separate until the final Approvals are done is so you don't have this kind of awkwardness Ho, I mean, I was this is breaking right now Oh, no, this is and just to be clear folks just to be very very clear I don't think AT&T did anything untoward. They want a court case the Department of Justice said We're not going to file an appeal all of AT&T's third-party lawyers and everything were satisfied DOJ says they're not going to file an appeal. We're gonna consider this closed since there's no appeals Why would we wait? Let's proceed and close the deal which we have been ready to close for quite a long time So they closed it quick. It's the DOJ suddenly going, you know what? Actually We said we were gonna appeal. We're gonna appeal a month later. That is quite unusual here this has been a merger that The president has not been a fan of just for the record That thought crossed my mind too of whether you know And it would not be unusual in this administration for one part to not be in sync with another part about what the What the procedure should be and this is the kind of thing that happens when you have that sort of situation So, you know right keep your eye on those tweets from London. Yeah It certainly is the kind of thing that causes regulatory Uncertainty can affect other deals and can make things more costly. So Yeah, keep an eye on it folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day as well You can keep an eye on things even faster in about five minutes. Get them all subscribe to Daily Tech headlines comm All right Apple announced its MacBook Pros with touch bar will now come with quieter keyboards No more clackety-clack. There's still the same keyboards. They're just a little quieter You do get voice activation of Siri true tone displays like you have in the iPad now on the MacBook Pro Those are the ones that adjust color temperature to the temperature of the light around you new 15 inch Mac Pro comes with Intel's 6 core eighth generation i7 or i9 processors Radeon Pro 4 gigabyte GPUs RAM can be configured up to 32 gigabytes storage up to 4 terabytes and the 13 inch Mac Pros get quad-core i5 or i7 chips with the integrated Intel iris 655 graphics up to 2 terabytes of storage Prices stay the same for the base models In fact prices are pretty much the same as they were before just with upgraded specs Except for these new maxes you didn't have 32 gigabytes of RAM and 4 terabytes of storage before so that top price goes up The most expensive Macbook Pro you can get now is $6,699 what a deal such a steal Apple also stopped selling the 2015 era MacBook Pro that had the old keyboard and USB a ports A lot of people still held on to that option because oh, I want the old USB not the USB C didn't want to live that dongle life And they begun selling a black magic external GPU containing a Radeon Pro 580 with 8 gigabytes of memory for $699 which would be useful for People who own older models if they want to get a little more juice and it's pretty much a dock It has HDMI ports USB ports etc. So that can be handy as a dock for people with laptops as well but yeah, I mean Granted the top level price is very expensive previously the top level price was close to $5,000 anyway So when you add those to the specs up, I guess that makes sense But we just talked about Ming-Chi Quo saying they were going to come out with new all kinds of stuff And here's the first of those shoes to drop right away You know that you know besides it being it, you know $6,700 backpuck at the very very high end. I you know, I don't need four terabytes of local storage I I You do not know I don't need it, but I want it you do but but you're a local storage kind of a person No, like I'm a clap like I'll just buy cloud storage. I don't care where it is But I do find it funny that and I'm I have a touch bar Mac. I bought it at the end of 2016 It's a real road warrior. So I've been kind of thinking about upgrading You know, you know, maybe maybe later this year. I'd you know, might get myself a new computer and You know, I like the touch bar I never thought about the keyboard as being loud or annoying So I don't you know that there had been so many problems with the keyboards that I know a lot of uh My peers on twitter were sort of like the keyboard has all sorts of problems Like no one was complaining that it was too loud. I'm sure someone was complaining I'm sure someone was but that was not the biggest problem. You're right. Yeah, you actually probably couldn't hear their complaints over Right. Yeah, all that clackity clack him Um, I've also gotten used to that dongle life as you called it tom. So, you know, I don't know I don't I don't I don't uh, I don't mind so much about that but I don't know Justin is is it quieter keep like if you're at a coffee shop and somebody is, you know typing away next to you is is That's never been a thing that's actually bothered me. Oh, no, no I mean, I probably would try to stay away from coffee shops to to begin with but I would say that if I was uh You know typing or writing at a bar or something like that then then maybe I would want a less intrusive keyboard I don't think that's the issue though. But but my larger thought with this is just how far We are continuing to move in the idea that laptops writ large Are business things in a way that they didn't used to be I mean that now we are we are continuing to see the trend that we have seen for the past 10 years of The consumer device the like I just want to experience the things on the web devices are Phones primarily tablets secondarily macbooks are Business these are business tools and so you're going to see Larger prices and more functionality and more power even on The more artist driven sleek cool to look at macbook pros. I will oh, sorry No, no, I think you're gonna say the similar thing that I did go ahead Just saying like you know laptops have always been A business machine and what was so interesting is that for the longest time you saw a downward trend in pricing For a lot of laptops, especially the kind of I wouldn't say entry level but kind of mid-tier models and what's Isn't so striking is that the pricing that that apple has rolled out for these new machines is kind of in line what is In line of what they used to charge People back in the day and then they kind of dipped their prices as they aimed for more of a consumer kind of consumer electronics Market instead of just a I need a computer for business I need a computer to do, you know creative work or anything like that. So You know the pricing is is definitely a bit of a shock, but it's not It's not out of line historically if you look at apple pricing in general No, I agree And I mean even though I I just said oh you got cloud storage. Nobody needs four terabytes of local storage I also have a variety of external hard drives because I do a lot of editing projects And sometimes it's like five gigs at a pop, you know, and so I'm constantly offloading It would be nice to have all that locally. I'm just not used to it. Oh, yeah I don't know this is video video video photoshop photoshop photoshop I mean as we deal more and more with 4k and and stuff like that if you are doing any kind of professional Uh editing like that creative service editing like that. Uh, you need infinite In storage that you have on you. Yeah, a tip to doctor and our slack points out You can get a razor blade laptop with better specs for a few hundred dollars or more or less Well, thanks everybody. There's always that that's like like the laurax The no matter what anytime there's a macbook announcement There is there is the laurax voice talking about the cheaper pc that you can get Well, sure. It's like hey, you want that expensive pair of jeans There are some cheaper jeans. Yeah, they're gonna fit your body But people say but I want the expensive ones because that's what I want That's just the way the style goes when it comes to tech for the pcs have no tongues Thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit doctor. I'm sure you're one of them Our subreddit is where you can submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit.com We are also on facebook if you want to hang out on facebook Please do so facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show All right, let's check in with chris from amateur traveler Haven't talked to him in a while on mobile payments for tourists this time This is chris christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute Several times on the show you have talked about the electronic payments especially mobile payments and some of the solutions coming out of china like Ali pay and we chat pay but one of the things that's interesting is because of the rise of chinese tourism This is no longer something that is constrained to just china We're seeing that more and more get accepted in europe and in the us And so ali pay for instance has agreements now global agreements with marriott and uber And they're rolling out a partnership with yelp in new york los angeles los vegas and san francisco And we chat pay has signed a deal in los vegas with caesars We will likely see more and more of these rolling out because of the increasing number of chinese tourists and because according to a recent survey 14 of chinese people do not carry any cash While 26 hold less than 100 rmb in their wallets on a day-to-day basis. So electronic payments coming to you Thanks to chinese tourists i'm chris christensen from amateur traveler as if hearing the hope and chris's voice uh this morning the south china morning post reported the news that we chat says Yeah, we're not worried about making wallets for people outside of china So even though the payments will be accepted at caesars palace You're not in china. Uh, we chat's not worried about helping you make a wallet They do have systems for creating wallets in hong kong and malaysia But they say they're pretty much just focused on outbound chinese tourists. So i don't know figures cross. Maybe they'll change Let's check the mailbag sarah. Let's do it This one comes from synthia who says hello from an expat living in the land of cheese And windmills i'm gonna guess that the netherlands Although there's probably cheese and windmills in other places as a creator and seller of 3d printed items Because we were talking about 3d printed guns on the show yesterday synthia says customers frequently comment You know people make guns with 3d printers, right? Synthia says Trying not to roll my eyes when I tell them in a past life I was a metal machinist a majority of the guys that I worked with made or attempted to make guns because you know That's nature of the business, right? Plans to make a gun have been available for decades before chuck hole inventor of the solid Imaging process known as stereo lithography or 3d printing was born Synthia says it's not any easier to make a plastic like gun with a 3d printer than a metal lathe And you can print metal parts too, but I thank you synthia for saying like hey Easier said than done and then you're printed than assembled and made into a working thing. So appreciate that Appreciate that from synthia and everybody who writes in and also appreciate just Robert young for me and with us this wonderful Thursday In the u.s. Anyway, it's uh friday.

Mmm. That was a good name to the future Tom I wonder if you got knocked under 50k I have no I didn't He didn't well. No. No. No. He is under 50k, but I wonder if he got knocked under Tom Merritt is under 50k twitter followers He's got 49.7 thousand. Are you serious? Tom Merritt had over 100,000 yesterday How do you know this an item? I'm looking at the wrong number. I'm looking at the wrong number, uh, but fake news fake news 104,000 he's got 100 I was about to have a Tom Merritt has 47,000 ace detect has a hundred. Is that what it was? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no I know I screwed up you have you're just like a thousand. You have 49,000 tweets. You have Oh, that's what it was. All right. I was about to be like this Really a big deal. Tom Merritt lost half of his twitter followers. I was starting to feel bad. I was like that is a lot Oh Trust me. I'm not that competitive Okay, but these are the things I know about my peers. I just know these things Uh, what are we doing for the title sealed deal appealed? I like that one as well. All right I like that one I want to watch the honey badger video Uh Hey, we ain't none of us know Veronica Belmont Well, Jesus or she cheated she did She's a big darn cheater. She didn't cheat. She got put on the suggested user list. She didn't Think about active he was just very early, you know, she's an early adopter and she read the rewards How was the early adopter? I didn't get on for any for me too Well, you know what you guys need to be We need to be skinny women that I don't think that You know what you need to do is lose a little body fat So you are you are in agreement, uh, that's fire Hey, man, I was an early adopter too and I never got on the user list Cheater No, I didn't cheat. I'm actually, you know, I'm the most honest of all of us really Uh, I just love the idea of one of the most fair-minded people. I know being accused of being a cheater right Like Veronica, I'll I'll suggest doing things on sword and laser sometimes That I think are like, well, you know, nobody's really gonna care. So I don't know. Is that fair? Like she is consciousness Yeah, I yeah, I would call Veronica extremely fair And by the way, now that she primarily is is working Outside of the industry for which that number really really can make a difference I would suspect that if she could give back many of those followers. Oh, I bet. Yeah. Yeah Well, so that that's actually I know that twitter said, you know, these are gonna decrease people's follower accounts by what six percent But the people with the most followers, especially that kind of thing, it's like Anyone who has, you know, millions of followers if you tweet something and it resonates with your audience It's like, you know, you're not getting a million responses You're getting a hundred or whatever, you know, you know that it's all it's it's exponential growth Equal exponential actual engagement This honey badger video is really good. I had a moment By the way, honey badger is the guy, right? No, honey badger is a honey badger Yeah, honey badger doesn't care. Who's the youtube creator? Honey badger don't care. I don't know Oh, the guy, oh the guy you did it. I have no idea. Yeah Oh, I don't this one is czg123. It has 87 million views. That's not the original. I don't think but Um I just want to take a moment and thank The chat room strike it rich one Uh, Ethan came doing the show notes us the On the scene reaction and analysis to this merger story like we we don't usually in the tech world have a story break In the middle of the show like that that was awesome So big round of applause, uh, and it would without the chat room alerting us without strike it rich one Send to that note. Uh, I wouldn't see it. So Uh, it takes a village Takes a village. Oh, look, it's antwan dodson. I'm really going down our youtube rabbit hole now Had you kids had you wives? Yeah. Oh my gosh I had forgotten about this The rent is too damn high My here I guess you Under construction, I don't know Then the memes start to oh Love a good meme Love a good meme never liked, um uh well I guess I can say this because this is the a post show. I didn't I never liked damn daniel. I didn't think that was very funny I don't know if you guys liked it or not I have a memory of damn daniel because I know exactly when I discovered it And It was when justin robert young texted me damn daniel and I was who's daniel. Yeah, you're like a wrong person I thought justin's like no, you know damn daniel and I immediately went. Oh, this is a thing. I don't know about and search it Yeah, right. Yeah, this is a just be cool tom. Be cool. Let me research or I'll be Identified as one of the olds Yeah, I just I just never thought it was that's a funny thing about memes is like sometimes everyone's like Oh, this is great, you know, and then other times I'm like I just this is a meme that's being forced on me. I don't like it. It's not funny. Yeah You know, I reject a lot of those So like sports twitter has tremendous Overlay with anime twitter And so I will regularly be hit With dank anime memes for which I have no reference nor interest Yeah, I wouldn't either. I'm just I'm totally out on so like really only I mean I'm sure that there's like a few that break through into the mainstream Like I'm not gonna pretend like I don't know what an over 9000 or something is but like in in general there's uh Yeah, there's just no element for which I can I can grab on to Right. I love a good sports twitter meme though. They're the best ones Sports twitter memes are fantastic. Yeah wrestling memes are great because they're they're very expressive in general like, you know Yeah, you can get the whole story just watching the unfolding Uh, I mean look at crying jordan. We've been doing that for years. Yeah, it's still funny. How amazing is it? I understood to be the best at his profession The model of athleticism and his meme legacy is the one time he cried publicly But that's what makes it right if he was a guy who cried all the time crying jordan wouldn't be funny at all Exactly. No, exactly. It is kind of like an honorable. Yeah The honorable death of a warrior is kind of what makes it funny Totally, it's an only nixon can go to china situation Right of passage if you will which also kind of makes it A perfect little thing because you're overlaying it on Dopes, right? So you're almost making fun of them as if they deserve this honorable warrior distinction Yeah, but now also I always feel like it's accusing the person of feeling like you feel like you're as important as michael jordan And you're oh, oh, yeah, exactly. I think that it is part of it. Although now it's it's its own thing Yeah, it's taken off a lot life of its own This is one of the best things about youtube. I don't I actually don't I don't really have a youtube channel I just like test things on on youtube and I don't Use it Really in a subscription way that a lot of people do but I use it as the Yeah, the meme rabbit hole, uh, and It's like, okay, so we've got antwan dobson. We've got dm daniel. We've got a honey badger. Don't care and then there's How do I even explain this the it was the news story where the guy's talking about the you know It was like a murder on the loose and they have like a sketch And it's the exact same person as the anchor. Yeah, exactly Oh, it's funny You know It just shows you how generic a lot of the actually the funniest one was the one they showed I don't know if it was a meme, but it was a you know the sketch artist created a sketch of a Of the perpetrator they were looking for and it just looked like a guy with a like a Head shape like a diamond and it looked very simplistic it looked like a child drew it and then they Are you are you like a like a like a square like a It's like this this rudimentary sketch Yeah, it's very are you are you talking about the greatest local news story of all time the the alabama leprechaun No, oh no, no I don't know it. Oh it was the first result. Yeah. Oh Everybody's seen a leprechaun say yeah Oh Well, we might have to continue this uh on a on a different uh It might be a crackhead got hold of the wrong stuff Told him to get up in that tree and play a leprechaun. See this is why local news should never die It really serves a purpose Uh, but they show a sketch of the leprechaun and it is Hilariously childlike in its artistic form Okay, let me uh do a quick and then uh, we could bid everyone to do my leprechaun flute There we go.
