 Went to Staples yesterday to get that long Ethernet cable and a couple other dongle related things because MacBooks are the worst and The woman at customer service because I had called ahead of time to make sure that they had the stuff They said yeah, we'll just put it in customer service for you. Really nice. The woman at customer service her name tags had Sarah So I was like oh, I'm Sarah too and she's like Really? How do you spell it and I'm like the same with an H and she's like wow It would be so funny if you were left-handed and I'm like I am she's like what? I'm like first of all 30% of the world's population is named Sarah. Yeah, Sarah's not so I'm like probably the sixth one You've talked to already today And the left-handed thing was a little bit out of nowhere, but also not that uncommon Sure It was adorable like Northern California, are you just you guys trade like Facebook profiles or something? We didn't but I mean like getting dinner soon I was kind of in a hurry right because it was like an hour before showtime I'm sure you know how we are where we're always in a rush Look give me a thing so I could get out of yeah But it was like we kind of did end up like talking because she was like do you want to be a rewards customer? And I'm like and you know that usually you're just like no I don't but then I kind of let her tell me about it and then I gave her a nice review online She asked me that's her sales pitch is to always like overemphasize commonalities your name is Tom, too My uncle's name isn't Tom like she has like a hundred different name tags I kid you not I came out of a Best Buy in the East Bay and up in San Francisco near San Francisco like Walnut Creek And the the the woman the cashier Young young lady she had her name tags at Cinderella and I asked her is that like are you a fan of the band? We fan of the fairy tale Like that that's where you at first right yeah, that's you know, we're all or did your precious, you know Drink too much red wine tonight We're coming up with names for their for their for their daughter It's like no my manager came up with it. Oh, that's not actually her name I'm sure there are some Cinderella's out there Yeah There's probably lots of Disney character names. I haven't met any that I can think of Lilo Lilo stitch Aladdin a lot of those Ambie Rapunzel does that it is not a Disney. Yeah, well, they did turn it into I mean all all the Grimm's fairy tales Eventually became Disney something. Okay. Yeah, I Yeah, they all princesses and you know So many God I cannot even that that's it's just too much for me. What Dumbo. It's so sad Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean even more than Bambi if that's possible. I love elephants. Oh Who doesn't who doesn't Robert Young that's who doesn't I would say once a year somebody I know will go to One of the many elephant Sort of sanctuaries that exist around the world and it's just like like that's my dream Well, my dream would be to live at one, but my you want to live Sanctuary, that's why don't you? Well, let's make this happen. Let's make it a page We With space access to low orbiting satellites, maybe you know the show will go on from you know Chiang Mai where I live at the elephant sanctuary But I would like to visit one which I have you seen the video of the The young woman with the little baby elephant I think it was that Chiang Mai like it's on YouTube or whatever and it comes up there and starts like Rolling around yeah with her like she's like the baby elephants like a puppy like he's acting like a little puppy I mean, it's just the cute factor. I can't handle it Sarah I needed I need to interrogate this dream of yours. No an elephant hater Justin Robert Young They're majestic Familiar with are you of the smell of Elephant excrement on a hot day Not very I am very familiar with this because we had a circus camp in the park behind my house when I was growing up Of course you did do yourself a favor go to bush gardens Just go on that little elephant tour and while you will understand the true majesty of nature You will also smell things that you will never want to smell again Doesn't stink it ain't nature that yeah, I mean that's it does give me a slight pause But but you know lots of things smell bad, right? Sure Like there are like some people that that it just it it goes away Right like in the same way that you know when when you're living in San Francisco at a certain point You just kind of avoid the needles and the human feces like right. Yeah I mean even at even at the gym I go to I try not to be weird about it But it's like sometimes I'm too close to something that I don't like the smell I move Usually easy to avoid maybe not at the elephant sanctuary though. That's what I'm saying is that we are talking about a mushroom club you were to like Identify smells by color like it would be a mushroom cloud at all Do we feel like there's some scientific way to make the elephant dung smell better? Yes Keep away. I had an exercise No, it's it they they're just very inefficient Digester, so they poop a lot I mean no, I guess if you were to figure out a plumbing situation And so it wasn't just left right out there to bake in the sun that would help that would help I like this idea of an additive to the diet that changes it to smell good. Yeah It smells that way because it's not the elephant. It's the bacteria that lives of the No, that's where you would you would be fundamentally altering the biome of the elephant to make it a sec How about how about just a lot more cleanliness at the sanctuary because it sounds like it's like It's it's the fact that it's sitting there and getting the plumbing. That's the plumbing issue Well, but even then look I'm going to salute the fine staff of bush gardens in Tampa in Tampa, Florida in that they are running a Tourist attraction. It is in their interest to make it smell as As as as less as they possibly can and yet It still smells like a bunch of elephants took a poop in the same pile Mm-hmm because they did because they literally did right in front of you Guards have any like marine animal attractions like seals or nothing This is a family show and I don't want to go into The process but ah, yes. Oh Not to take us away from The wonders of watching wild animals exhibit for human entertainment Are we good with all the times on the stories? It's a little late. It was legit to process that Sure, I'm just gonna say yes, because that's easier. Yeah. All right, Sarah. Can you do the open? Nope? Hmm. All right, Justin. No, I can sorry. I know I was just posting on Facebook Oh Yeah, I was gonna retweet you too. Oh good. Okay, but we're already tweet already tweet as well I Facebook first calm down everybody Deep breaths. I don't see the Twitter though. Where's the Twitter, Sarah? That's what I'm doing right now. Facebook was first Okay, just one question. I don't see the Twitter Where's the Twitter's real quick question? Okay, it's there now if you don't see it. I can't help you I see something for Michelle Malkin and Ryan Summers. I see some I'm right between in my timeline anyway Oh, this is kind of a fun game because depending on who you follow. I'm between xxl magazine and hype beast Yeah, I'm between Amazon music plugging George straight and Retweet by Ashley Yates Okay, I still don't see her Oh, why don't you refresh your page? It's updating Oh You're over in my friends list Oh Right above Guy Brannum right now, okay But also tweet deck just locked up. Oh Tweet deck is too much for me. Well, that's not true. I mean you can set it up lots of different ways, but it's like It's never been my favorite. I It's the only way I'd ever see a lot of people's tweets because of the the ability to do the lists and stuff Yeah, I just mute everybody All right, sure and then don't tell them and then pretend I know what's going on in their lives. I Don't really do that very often but sometimes and yes, I can I can kick us off Okay, I'm really trying to retweet this there we go Come on. Come on little buddy. There we go, buddy You can stream the whole show, but you can't pull up a tweet. All right Here we go three two Daily tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday, February 22nd 2080 from DTNS headquarters in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline 2.0. I'm Sarah Lane and from Oakland, California It's me Justin Robert young and with us as well our intrepid producer Roger Chang in Trepid the name of the Starship and Voyager or was that Voyager? Was a star ship. There was also the intrepid in many Star Trek series. Hmm. All right It'll allow it let's start a few tech things you should know Amazon's new cashier free store Amazon go may get six more stores this year mostly in the Seattle area But one possibly at the Grove in the Los Angeles area sources till recoat The first Amazon go store opened last month It was delayed about a year long and the concept is that shoppers use what the company calls walkout technology She scan your phone upon entering you take your items off the shelves And then you automatically get charged as you leave the store. They'll never cause a problem in the overcrowded Grove. I'm sure I want to try it out. Yeah, I can't wait for the inevitable Mario Lopez feature Bloomberg reports that it sources say Apple's planning to release new air pods with an improved wireless chip and ability to activate Siri by voice rather than tapping the earphones Apple may also make the air pods water resistant in the 2019 update So showering with AirPods, maybe maybe that'll get me to buy them I don't keep me from leaving them on airplanes if they could just make Siri more robust We are moving rapidly to the her world in like Jones sense Lighthouse AI is selling its lighthouse security camera for $299 as an all-in-one AI system for the home It records a 24-hour feed and stores it for up to 30 days and then uses 3d sensors and some machine learning to be able to Keep track of known faces. So it doesn't give it false positives and tells the difference between you and your pets Oh, thank goodness. Yeah Service cost $10 a month or you can pay $200 for lifetime service lifetime of the device not you Let's talk a little bit more about what actually happened regarding that neutrality Well, I think it's a high time that somebody talked about net neutrality and we're gonna the first to do it What's up with that neutrality Justin? What is this net neutrality? I've never heard of it before Well, take any kids as I explained to you this sort of tale The US FCC published its new rules reversing net neutrality guidelines in the federal register Thursday The rules go into effect 60 days from publication meaning April 23rd Any congressional action to block the rules directly would need to happen by then Several states and organizations are expected to sue the FCC Over the rules as well. So April 23rd is the day the internet shuts down Yes, in our key anarchy anarchy. Yep You'll you'll you'll have to pay Yes, it will work like a coin operated device. You'll just put in dollar bills Exactly, you will have to pay six dollars extra a month to hear people say cross things about adjut pie on Twitter, right? That is why he wanted net neutrality. He's just block all the main things people say No in all seriousness April 23rd is the day the rules actually go into effect So there's a bit a lot of anxiety over this But if any ISP were to make a change because of this change in rules It couldn't happen before April 23rd and there's possibility that court orders might affect this There's pledges plenty of court cases gonna happen. Usually they don't There were plenty of court cases the last time they changed in 2015. None of those affected the actual implementation of the rules And and let's just say this is the time to push the the push your local congressperson Push the people that are looking to make taking congressional action on this. This is the time to do it You have a deadline. That's politicians love deadlines So whatever your opinion, we're not saying you have to be for against or otherwise But if you have an opinion express it now, this is the time All right moving on last December Disney filed a lawsuit over red box selling digital download codes for Disney films Separate from the DVDs that the codes came in the Hollywood reporter says a California federal judge Rejected Disney's request for an injunction to stop this practice saying the wording on the box was not enforceable as a contract and that Disney was misusing copyright law in trying to prevent the sales Red box has distribution deals with other studios like Warner Brothers Which allows it to buy physical DVDs and blu-rays then then offer them as rentals at its kiosks But with Disney red box buys retail copies of the films and then rents those discs But also sells the digital download codes from the physical copies at a fraction of the price Which is obviously what's upsetting Disney the most This may have been a miscalculation on Disney's part Disney doesn't like red box not paying them royalties Disney didn't want to give them the discs because they rent them for so cheap So red box went out and paid full retail price Which they have the right to do right a first sale allows them to rent the full physical copies But to rub it in Disney's face red box started selling the codes that come in the box Disney said we say on the box. You can't do that. We're taking you to court over this red box That's great laws on our side We own the disc and as long as we don't cash in that code before we sell it We can give it to ever we want and the judge agreed setting a precedent and Labeling Disney as misusing copyright which that could have a chilling effect on future copyright cases from the company that is probably most responsible for the vast number of years that copyright Existed protection because they wanted to keep Mickey Mouse under copyright Yeah, this is a Tremendous, well, I mean, I don't know if it's tremendous. It certainly is a it is a fight in in the front of Disney's varied copyright protection Kind of battles, right? Yeah, red box, you know, look red box is a tremendous Evolution of of that kind of media distribution and I don't know I would guess that this would maybe lead to more cooperation between red box and Disney now that everything's Kind of settled, but who knows well, and I wouldn't say this is necessarily over I'm sure Disney will pursue further legal avenues if then any exists But it certainly is a big setback that I don't I think a lot of people thought red box was overreaching here and they apparently they weren't Airbnb plus launched this morning offering higher-end Accommodations to compete with hotels each Airbnb plus home is vetted as an editorially Curated list of them they send professional photographers out to take really good-looking photos of the places And they have to meet a checklist of amenities. That's more than a hundred items long That goes from things like, you know Toiletries being available to you know good art on the wall stuff like that Host of Airbnb plus properties must have a rating of 4.8 or higher They have to pay to be part of the program and more than 2,000 listings are live right now in 13 cities worldwide So Cape Town Sydney Melbourne London all across the world Airbnb plus average cost will be around $200 per night That's double the average listing on Airbnb, which is around $100 a night. Airbnb also added new categories Vacation homes and bed and breakfast categories to the site that legitimize one legitimizes But that makes it easier for hotels that already list on Airbnb like bed and breakfast to to show up in the right category And a luxury tier called Airbnb beyond is planned to launch this spring Like the best thread counts ever like what is Airbnb beyond if Airbnb plus is already, you know amenities of it You know a hundred item long list Sarah if you have to ask you can't afford it. Well, that's true You know, it's funny. I was just in New York last week as you all know and we stayed in an Airbnb there were a few of us and It was one of the nicest Airbnb's I've ever been in wasn't fancy But it was big and in New York City. That's that you know, it doesn't happen very often and and yeah It was you know, there were linens there were towels. There was extra blankets blah blah blah all this sort of stuff was It was lovely the one weird thing was that at one point it was cold it was snowing outside and I Texted the host who had been really great. Hey, where's the heat? We can't figure it where the thermostat is and he goes, well, don't worry I'll do it remotely from here and at that point we were like check the smoke Like outfitted with cameras because it just felt so like oh That's seems like something that we should have, you know control over It was the one thing where I was like sort of weird You know don't want to have to text you again when I'm cold later to do that sort of thing But those are the sorts of amenities that like they come up even if you don't necessarily know you want them This is also Airbnb trying to brand themselves as not something where you have to compromise I think the compromising of I'm going to stay at a stranger's house is cool If you think that you are getting a better experience or a cheaper experience But once you are at that $200 a night level, you don't want to make compromises you want to get exactly what you want and Have a better more richer experience and that is I think what they're looking to do here at 4 50 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday February 21st 2018 the year of our Lord Kylie Jenner tweeted quote So does anyone else not open snapchat anymore? Or is it just me? Dot dot dot. Oh This is so sad. Oh, it really is She tweeted still love you though snap my first love The snap stock Suffered in today's trading although who knows exactly how much Kylie's Judgment her withering judgment related to the stock price. Oh, well, probably a lot, you know, she's their number one user Let you know though. It's I don't know it's half the time It's sort of seemed like she was keeping the whole thing afloat. Well, she and other members of her family But it's also kind of She was also part of the group that that signed that petition to to change the redesign, right? Or to you know revert back to the old redesign So this doesn't necessarily mean that she really thinks that people aren't using snap anymore It might just be a way to you know flex your flex your power She has 24.5 million Twitter followers and one of snapchats most popular users as you mentioned this Reads like a casual tweet. Is this calculated though? I mean, that's what I'm saying. It's right. Yeah Listen, listen, no, no I don't think it's calculated because with that family if she didn't plug her Instagram and you could assume that they were getting Money from Facebook then I think this is just her her own opinion that they are not shy about Cashing in when they need to cash it The stock had been recovering from a little bit of jitters around the redesign until today Wait, you thought sold the stock at this recording. It's down 6.06 percent If Kylie Jenner short sold the snap stock and then said that she doesn't open snapchat that would be amazing We need to know probably didn't probably not accusing her of anything. We're not accusing with any insider trading. I Don't know Well, how about this one engineers from MIT injected water crash Okay, listen closely with nanoparticles that caused the leaves to emit a dim light Suitable for reading for 3.5 hours. Yes trees the nanoparticles included the enzyme Luciferous which is created by lightning bugs these scientists hope to be able to use the nanoparticles on larger plants to provide a natural source of Illumination Michael Stranow professor of chemical engineering at MIT told the Daily Mail quote our work very seriously opens up the doorway To street lamps that are nothing but treated trees and to indirect lighting around homes This is gonna look great in my Airbnb beyond The palms that turn into lights at night pay a premium no street lamps, you know, everybody hates those so much I love this idea though It's just just to be able to do it and say that you did I I don't think it matters with street lamps I like a good street lamp to be honest Unless they have the sodium light which bugs me but but you know street lamps can look old man Street lamps go cool. What I think this would be great for is Lights on the walkways up to like hotels or or mansions apparently Those those are cool looking right but but a lot of times they're buggy They fall apart and then they don't look so good or whatever and and during the day if you notice them sometimes You're like, oh, those are the lamps. They don't look so great during the light But if it's just plants during the day looks really nice and then at night they glow that's amazing. I love it I mean, we already have cell phone towers disguised as trees and sometimes I'm fooled right, you know More trees that actually do other things. I'm down for that. Well, I think that the interesting thing here is seeing it applied You know in a more Regular fashion like when you're able to get these from Home Depot or, you know, yeah Then then that I think be where we can kind of really experiment with them in a landscape capacity And we're we're far away from that. They're doing this in the lab right now, obviously just want to put that out there but very interesting and Three and a half hours isn't a lot. So I they need to make them last longer They don't need a power source per se though. They're kind of powered by the plant So, I don't I mean, yeah, how cool would it be to have a bedside plant? But that I think is is is the interesting thing is just if there is like I could like, you know Low indirect lighting like in your in your house like what is a good idea if you will All that oxygen too. I mean plants are good for you. I I don't have a green thumb all the plants I have indoors die Living darkness Roger you have to water them Roger. I killed my bedside lamp again. Damn it Folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes subscribe to daily tech headlines at daily tech headlines Com available in the newly redesigned anchor app more podcasting friendly than ever. It's very quite It's quite nice looking now also available on the Amazon Echo as a flash briefing on the Google home and as a podcast as I said at daily tech headlines So if you want to know everything Samsung's gonna announce Sunday at Mobile World Congress You could find out with a quick search or just go to Google news Pretty much everything they're going to announce has been leaked We're gonna wait to the actual announcement. We'll get to that on Monday But something that has been announced and will be shown off during Mobile World Congress are always connected PCs And I think this is an interesting Product development to examine the idea is they wake from sleep fast like your phone and they stay connected without needing Wi-Fi Like your phone can they can use Wi-Fi and take Wi-Fi out But they're saying you shouldn't you should be able to get online with a laptop as easy as you do with a phone or tablet Both Intel and Qualcomm have versions of this and I'll run down what each of them is offering so far And then I want to get your thoughts on whether you think this is the next tablet Which is what they want you to think the next netbook or the next UMPC and if you don't know what a UMPC is exactly That's kind of my point Qualcomm has the more robust announcement because you can order these today Windows 10 PCs powered by Snapdragon 835 They will be available in more and more places Amazon Microsoft stores JD.com in China bunch of electronic shops across Europe Carriers supporting them in LTE connections are China's CMCC France's transitel, which is a prepaid provider Deutsche telecom telephonic a Swiss comm EE Verizon Sprint T-Mobile AT&T. They got big names on board Models available include the ASUS Nova GO HP's NVX 2 and Lenovo's MIX 630. We talked about that at CES HP's version is available for pre-order right now for a thousand bucks scheduled to ship on March 9th so these are Ultra-thin laptops supposedly with long battery life that don't really go all the way to sleep So you open them up you just start using them immediately and they're always connected To LTE and eventually Qualcomm says we're gonna connect these things to 5g as well Now Intel has their own version of this but in sort of classic Intel fashion. They're just a half step behind But they want to be ahead by the time they get to market So theirs will be 5g connected from the get-go Windows 10 PCs coming in the second half of the year Microsoft Dell Lenovo and HP on board for that so Microsoft playing in both camps obviously because it's Windows fewer details on what's gonna be in them and By the time they get to market Qualcomm may have it Snapdragon 845 versions of these out so Sarah Roger. Yes, Justin. Yeah, do these sound appealing? Do they sound out of a thousand dollar price point like something you'd want they do, huh? I absolutely you know it since the since phones have gotten yes You can do so many things on your phone, right? But when I'm particularly when I'm traveling I need my laptop I got to work in a certain way I you know I the laptop experience is very important to me But then you get into situations where it's like if there's not Wi-Fi you get a tether or you can't or you know It's a whole process to just take that out of the equation and know that if Wi-Fi is available great But you got 5g connectivity, you know where it's available and you know in the future more so Just like a phone and it's that you know starting up quickly. I Love this idea. I want them to act more like each other than they do now and this sounds like a good way to do it. Hi Sorry, go ahead Roger. Oh, no, I was just saying from my perspective It's an awesome amazing convenience feature Also would make security a lot more difficult if there wasn't an easy Easily done and identify but Identifiable way to turn it off when you need to so it doesn't automatically always have to start like it's it's an option for you because yes, you don't know it's you know You might have something on your laptop that maybe you necessarily doesn't need in that Well, I'm assuming it's it's protected by logins and such just like your phone We've we've gone through that problem with phones and tablets for sure Almost certainly be more secure if it has a direct 5g connection Then if you're connecting to dodgy free Wi-Fi's Randomly, right? I mean that would be far greater security risk Yes, no, I mean it depends like if you're if you have a machine that's infected And you may not realize it and it runs in the background and you may not realize it There it's for me. Just having something that you can just literally Flip a switch. It's off and it's totally off It's not just off for a couple of apps or just for Windows But like this connection is absolutely severed. I'd be cool with it. It'd be you'd be awesome Tom yeah, I'm waiting for Justin. Sorry And now I am Allow me Number I I agree with Sarah I've been experimenting By doing a lot of writing at these like really really cool. We work co-op spaces that have these awesome amenities called bars and I just go to a bar and I sit down and I do my writing and Better to go to places where they have either Wi-Fi or now that I can tether with my phone I just use that and I feel a lot better doing that because I don't know what Random Wi-Fi I would be connecting to otherwise. This is a really really good good idea and One that I'm kind of surprised that we are not seeing a bigger push because if we are to go back in time friends imagine the sounds of 2009 The number one song in the nation was the black eyed peas boom boom pow and google announced the chrome os Yes, the web browser But also the idea that an always connected future would lead your best version of an of an operating system not to be managing Your local files would rather to be operating on web applications Constantly we are now Nine years or nine years on from that obviously But we and I would guess that the people that that google would have suspected that we would have made greater Strides in ymax or or other kinds of You know wi-fi connectivity by this point But if we're just talking about 5g connections Then I would say this is the this is the future that google wanted back then when it was just like, okay Well, let's just get these products out here So people who are who are with entrusted wi-fi networks constantly can have a cheaper pc But this was the future they saw back in 2009 Yeah, no and and they're they weren't the first ones and they won't be the last and these aren't the first laptops with connections built in Uh, but both qualcom and intel are trying to push convenience battery life ease of use Uh, I I mean, I think roger you're bringing up legitimate concerns These are concerns that are easily dealt with though and if these laptops don't deal with those concerns They are definitely not worth getting. I am assuming that those concerns will be dealt with That's not what I see is the problem. What I see is the problem They're already starting to address in their press Which is we're working with the carriers to make more affordable easy to subscribe to Plans that's where the rubber meets the road is how much is this going to cost me the sims are built into these things Which is another good part of this But that also makes it harder to switch if they want to make it harder to switch So I have to be able to switch between providers easily which can be done too I want to see how that works as well So that and whether the battery life claims actually bear out which they may battery life claims are usually pretty close Uh to testing. Those are the big concerns that I have Uh, no, I I would I would agree with you there This is only as good as it is affordable because Selling it on a budget price and they need to have a budget life cycle Hey, thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com and facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show We get the emails if you wondered where the emails went. We have them sarah. What are some of them? Let's start with one from dylan who says it's unreasonably cold and snowy in vancouver bc Okay on wednesday's show We were all talking about ai and the concept of ethics and and getting more people than just engineers involved in In building these things that we're going to be using So, uh, he mentioned sarah said she didn't know any ethicists, which it's true I don't or I didn't anyway until we met dylan dylan's a phd candidate studying the philosophy of technology And he says my work isn't purely upon ethics, but deals with social cultural moral and existential Dimensions of technology and how humans relate to and experience it just thought I'd say hello Let you know i'm in the audience should the need for ethicists arise. I'm here Yeah, uh, I did a further email to him. He he made it very clear. He's like, I don't claim to be an actual ethicist My advisor would be a very upset with me if I did right Ethic, but it's good. It's good to have a philosopher in the audience Yeah, thank you dylan and I knew I knew as soon as we said that yesterday that that that you'd come out of the Woodwork because you know we got a great dps's house philosopher dylan Mike in sunny oman wrote regarding the story on the new uber service where you can walk two blocks to pick up your ride Seems to be a competitor to via a largely east coast service I use via when i'm in dc because unlike a bus I typically make it to work in 10 to 15 minutes versus one hour or more on the bus A week pass from via was 10 bucks, which was less than the metro and 30 minutes faster Actually like that via asked me to meet the car on the corner of a well-traveled street My home's in the middle of a crowded street with lots of construction both uber and lift rarely accurately. Let me Set set my location on a corner Lift frequently arrives in a back alley surrounded by dumpsters where I've personally witnessed activities inappropriate to describe On a family show. Oh, no, you should have described Careful, we'll just up to our imagination Isn't it crazy that it's not only cheaper than the metro in washington dc But also a half hour faster if you're really trying to get where you're going How could a metro ever survive with with services like this? It's it's it that is interesting to me because what's funny is I took the train downtown la on tuesday and Going downtown was much faster on the train than it would have been to drive But coming back was much fat would have been much faster to drive than to be on the train So it's weird how that that stuff works out I've also not so much with lift, but I did in fact one of my old Workplaces in san francisco I had complained to uber a million times that every time they picked me up at work Uh, they went to the back alley and it's like there is actually no way to get back there You know, I'd have to call them and be like, no, please come to the front the address that I gave you And uh, so that is actually a problem. I mean not a huge problem, but it's an annoyance I know for more than a few of us. Yeah, and navigation apps do that Uh, they they they will decide That like a back alley or something is closest to the address and direct people there Just one of the reasons roger always has to go around the block six times when he comes to my house Because it keeps trying to send him somewhere. You can't get to true story true story Although it's more like five four and a half times. Yeah, right. I'll give you that Thanks to justin robert young our thursday bearer of news Comedy politics even in fact speaking of politics. What's new with you?

Hope you have enjoyed this program What a lovely show I enjoyed it I enjoyed it quite enjoyed that. Uh, you know what? I also enjoyed Don't know if I should have met this but I enjoyed the song boom boom pow back in 2009 because it was so Stupid that it was lovable to me. Yeah. I mean listen. I think anybody who doesn't like it is so 2000 and late That was I just remember that just making it to the What was it the song of the year like, you know the top 10 songs of that year? Uh, I think that was the year they might have also did the super bowl halftime show I think it was behind that album that they uh They did the halftime show but no black eyed peas back in the news, of course because furgy murdered the nationally Right, right. I did find her critically learned it. It's it's I found her response to be kind of um I don't know uh endearing I guess Oh, yeah, look, I because she's like listen. I was trying to do some cool I you know, I have a lot of respect for the all-star game, you know, like sorry Um, you know instead of like, I don't know they're being some big thing about it No, I look you miss a hundred percent of the shots. You don't take she certainly took a shot Uh, I think the problem Is not that she did that during the all-star game the mba all-star game has a rich history of doing off kilter Uh national anthems like with marvin may probably one of the the best National anthems of all time the problem is that with that version furgy's not that kind of singer Burgy had done something that was less traditional but more like the songs that she has had hits with I think it would have been better received like that to me and you know, obviously she's dead But somebody who's like like any winehouse or something I I think would have Murdered I thought you're gonna say witton houston, but you know also applies so many of those words You know, I don't and please somebody send me a link or email us at feedback at daily tech news show If you can give me an example of that whole voice trick version of the national anthem that is like cool because My favorites and the witton houston one is probably the best one ever that I can think of that i've seen Um, they're just straight. You just sing the damn thing darn. Sorry Just sing it. You know, what is all this? What is all this? What you know, what's going on here? Thank you advices Just sing it, you know, the super bowl is where you do power Power anthem, right? That's just like big raw vocal talent. Like, you know, witty houston is like the biggest one there We all start game again like a go But who wants that even if furgy had hit notes better because part of it was like, oh not quite hitting that note, you know Did somebody want that version if it was done flawlessly? I'm not saying they don't I just want to know People love again marvin gay marvin gay is the reason why she did the marvin gay national anthem at the well You don't follow marvin gay. That's rule number one in life fair point You can't outdo marvin gay. Just don't like don't do that. Yeah, don't that's That's the uh, that's the way to fail Is the footage of her rehearsing Uh, really? Yeah, it you can tell that this is something that i'm sure some of the technical staff that was working with her Is like, oh, I don't know about this one Uh, specifically in comparison to the bear naked ladies who did the canadian national anthem at the all star game They came on sang it through once They were off to off to dinner. Uh, we'll see you guys. Uh, see you guys later for the show I liked that actually I mean, I didn't hear the rehearsal, but I mean when they sang it Before the game, I was like, wow bear naked ladies. I'm pretty good. I'm a native land true pager love No, they sounded more like a church choir. They were very oh, they were very reverential. Yeah. Yeah Um, nothing but a 5g thing done That's brilliant. It would it would Technically you would want to say ain't nothing But I don't know if we want to put ain't in our title Is it is it in the song? Uh, nothing and uth in I'm I'm relying on you guys to advise me N-u-t-h-i-n but a g thing And it's fang So beatmaster has Yes, I guess it's I guess it's there. I guess there is no ain't in the actual An apostrophe at the end of nothing. There is an apostrophe after nothing n-u-t-i an apostrophe, but a g thing So and then you just add the five and baby got title gold Title You can supply your own baby Going crazy with 5g connect Whatever you do just watch your back if you're playing volleyball in a bikini Yes Not I don't get You don't get there's the video the video for nothing but a g thing there's I don't remember that but I believe you And somebody comes up and oh does the thing I do remember that and then she chases him gosh now it's all flooding back I actually am picturing myself in my apartment in austin watching that video Yeah, and then there was the jimmy the cab driver Uh interstitials that they used to do where he was talking about that video He's like remember that time when the guy comes up and he smears all the fuzzy stuff on that girl's chest Because like that's the version of the video that you would see on mgv is the blur the fuzzy stuff I um, yeah, I I remember it's a great song first of all, but uh, I do actually remember that part of the video I had forgotten all about it And then there's a little baby who's kind of dancing at the like picnic like this that end the setup Right. Yeah that like this and like that and then warren g shows a bunch of other fuzzy stuff right into the camera Uh, I can get with this you could get with that Just remind me about those So just chill Well, I'm glad we've had this moment together Me too I ate sushi for breakfast guys What do you think about that second person said that who else did that this week? Was it tom? No, what me? Now I know people like whoa But it's like First of all, it's I don't know sometimes in the morning Sometimes I'm just like I want my coffee and I just I don't know like I don't necessarily want to cook And I just kind of want to get into life. Yeah, and sushi is just it's easy it's Where'd you get it? Yeah, that's my question. I ordered it. So you order fresh sushi for breakfast. Oh, oh, oh, sorry Minor detail. I ordered sushi last night and got more Knowing that I would eat it for breakfast this morning, which I was left over sushi It was left over sushi that had elements of this conversation Okay, well like whether it was left over or not. I I ate it Yeah, no, no, no, no. All right. So number one the most remarkable part of that conversation If it were not left over sushi would be that a sushi place delivered before Well, and and You know hear you me Uh, if if sushi restaurants were open for breakfast, I would get sushi more often I think the conversation could have taken a dark turn and sarah said I just ran down to the gas station I got sushi. I got my sushi there. Yeah, right um It was good There was a lot left over. I was like, I'm not throwing this away. I'm eating this tomorrow I would say the leftover sushi for breakfast is not only delicious it is A a ticking clock, you know, you don't want to leave leftover sushi in the fridge breakfast Breakfast or it's nothing. Yeah, that's the latest time to eat your leftover sushi Unless it was ordered for lunch It also there's an art to it, right? Because you can't leave it out all night got to put in the fridge But then you don't want it to be super cold because then it's like that's not right And then leave it out about 30 minutes before you're actually going to start ingesting and then everything Could you okay? This is a crazy thought. I'm just gonna put that right out there in front. Could you Fry up your leftover sushi? Well, yeah Make like fried rice and it would it would just I don't know that's different That's just like a fish bowl Yeah, might be good though. That's what I'm thinking about it. It's crazy But I think some of the rolls would be problematic because they've got like Yeah, no that no and nori isn't gonna She's so You know and the pieces of carrot and stuff, but um, I don't know. Let's give it a try. I'll do it again tomorrow sushi omelets I'm actually I'm with sarah. I just think you this is a whole new vertical for sushi places Like like just just open that just do a little service right there at you know Not too early Like, you know, I'm gonna be up for for the six o'clock for the for the morning rush But like maybe maybe a 10 o'clock open maybe even earlier nine o'clock because I I'll admit no the more I'm thinking about it I have done Musubi for breakfast in hawaii Where you get they they make like spam egg and potato musubi And a little rice package Well, I've certainly I can't totally think of where exactly they were but there were certain places in japan I can remember one hotel that kind of like Included a really nice buffet breakfast. Um, and I mean not all of it was sushi, but some of it was And it's like it's like this is great, you know fish for breakfast. Love it breakfast sushi not just tamago anymore That's egg see tom's being kind of a kind of a hot shot right now Get it eggs breakfast I also eat eggs for dinner and that that's not a problem to me either I don't think food needs to be in like time of day categories. I think that we're all selling ourselves short Yeah, I eat eggs all the time for dinner. Yeah, good When you make breading or You make it a part of a larger dish Korean food while you shouldn't overdo eggs They are not as bad as we have been led to believe well, they're not bad for you You just need to eat in line with what your health requirements are. Yeah, I would say I I mean it was sushi this morning because I had it but Almost seven days a week. I have two fried eggs So I'll throw other stuff in there But I mean that's what I'm eating in the morning because it's kind of sticks to the ribs tastes good easy to do The whole thing I notice I get I start craving them Hmm They're just so good. You put a little kimchi in there. Yum. Oh Kimchi are underused. I would like to see a lot more kimchi Well, and also, you know, well, especially at like more, you know, like the whole foods type grocery stores You know, there's a whole section now, right? It's kimchi and fermented and sauerkraut and the whole thing and there are different colors and various spice levels and that stuff And they all taste different depending on the brand But it's like you throw in a little at the end of your eggs just so it warms up And it does change the kimchi tastes a little bit to like slightly less tang. It's really good with eggs Yeah, really good. There are two california kimchi makers Because I generally prefer to get kimchi that's from South korea, uh, which we can get at the japanese market near my house But there are two california brands that I can find at ralph's one of them is great It's like almost as good as like the real thing Uh, it's it in fact, I bet it's indistinguishable if I didn't see the jar. There's another one though That I would not it's the taco bell of kimchi Like it's shredded. It's it's not leaves Uh, if it tastes more like sauerkraut, it's not really spicy But I started to fall in love with it on its own on sandwiches Because it's not as wet as sauerkraut So it goes on a sandwich really nice and it and it gives a little vinegary flavor to it And so I'm I'm struggling like I don't want to buy this as kimchi Can you just change the label to say something else because it's definitely not kimchi that you're selling here But it's pretty good Even yeah, I just love that anything that's like that certain kind of tang that kind of fermented kombucha kimchi Yes, you kind of that vinegar type thing probably too much of that stuff I don't know well and bleak points out there is a spectrum of kimchi kimchi isn't all the same So maybe this is just Kind I need to allow into my spectrum Why is this I don't care for it no love the kimchis though I do too. I love them now I um It's it's been a really good Eating week so far had a cheeseburger the other day at my favorite place Nice knows where that is Had my sushi for breakfast Had a couple egg and kimchis since I got back from being out of town What's next? What do I have for dinner tonight? Can we go back to sushi real quick? What are we talking about sushi wise like uh, like what's it? What's a typical order? Yeah, we always what was what was the breakfast order? um Probably like a second half of a spicy tuna roll second half of a spider roll and like two pieces of hamachi and uh sake which is salmon uh nigiri Oh, yeah, not sake the drink people. I didn't know No, although sake the drink as sushi somebody want to figure that out I'll give it a try And I'm I'm upset we already ran out of our kick we had we bought sake flavored Kit Kats in japan Oh, we had those two You can get those on amazon actually Really you yeah I haven't had sake in a really long time because I've been ordering sushi more that I've been going in like you don't order or I don't know Maybe some of the places will deliver sake postmates would Well, I think post well, I don't know actually because I've been eating so much lately, but it seems at least at one point that it's like the Alcohol offerings had been separated from restaurants. Yeah, I think so I don't think that they can well because also I don't know if if the restaurants can legally sell I don't either although I did on was it postmates or uber eats? There was some I don't know sometime in the last month Uh, you know, I was having some people over and I was like, I don't have time to leave but like I need like a couple bottles of wine and Um, they did make a big deal, you know in the notifications of like you're gonna have to present You know government issued idea or passport or whatever to you know prove which was not a problem But then the guy yeah, it was postmates Uh, you know some wine shop that they have a partnership with and the guy I had my uh, I had my passport because my driver's licenses, I don't know it's been tragically lost and Um, he was like ooh I don't know how to do this without your driver's license. I'm like, well I mean nothing better than a passport for universal Understanding that this is me And I'm taking that wine with me. So figured out how Bold are you according to this passport? I can't read numbers I was not trained Finally because they have to like enter stuff, right? It's just set up for driver's licenses Uh, at least in california and you know, I was like take a picture of my passport and I'll see you later So hopefully he didn't get in trouble Yeah, so it's not even Yes Oh, no, I'm just saying they were It's just the fact that they had to do something differently and it would take longer that bugged them Yep, yeah Well, we're doing something differently What's that? We're going a little longer in the post show than we did yesterday. Hey Hey, everyone say your final word. That's our cue We're getting getting but seriously, but but what should I eat? I'm really hungry Uh, well see here's the problem is we started ordering more tovala meals for the smart oven Uh-huh. They're really good So Well, I do have to go back to staples. So maybe I'll just figure out something over there Is There is a ramen place ish along the way Oh There this might be a little farther than you want to go, but there's a great musubi place Uh that I went to recently on washington Oh, washington and is it watching a boulevard? It's like, yeah, but like how far east like a frame ish Give me a cross Everyone wave real quick to the 405. Oh, no, it's it's it's our side of the 405. Well, then great Justin sarah tom wave Goodbye Thank you. See you tomorrow. Bye. Bye
