I will three two Daily tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to daily tech news show dot com slash supports This is the daily tech news for friday. May the fourth be with you 2018 in los angeles. I'm tom eric and also in los angeles at studio feline. I'm sarah lane And from my art cave in labranto. I'm len parolta Sounds good. I've heard tell of it Uh, also joining us today from san francisco, uh, senior editor at engadget. Nicole Lee is back. Hi, Nicole Hello, I am from the amazing conference room that I am here Oh, I've heard tell of it Our producer roger chang is here as well roger. How are you? I'm good. Good That's excellent. Well, let's start with a few tech things you should know then Fine co-founder dom hoffman announced his follow-up app called v2 will be postponed for a quote indefinite amount of time because of logistics and funding issues hoffman already runs an early stage startup called interspace vr And says he doesn't want to split his focus germaneerysheise.de reported that intel cpu's are affected by eight vulnerabilities the site called specter class Intel said it is finalizing mitigations for all eight one of which was discovered by google's project zero They're going to reveal details about that one on may 7th The site Also says that amd processors may be vulnerable. They're looking into that as well magazine subscription service texture which apple purchased back in march will shut down its windows app at the end of june interesting because textures android amazon fire and ios apps Still supported but it appears the development of the windows store version in particular had lagged for some time According to lack of updates and a lot of negative user reviews In the fine tradition of causing market confusion and bankrupting otherwise useful terms of their meaning AT&T has begun marketing 5g evolution to customers in austin who have the samsung galaxy s8 and s8 plus 5g evolution is neither 5g nor an evolution It uses 4x4 mimo and 256 quam to get more speed out of lte a 4g technology It's also something t-mobile has offered since 2016 I mean it's sort of an evolution, right? Evolution for AT&T, I suppose. Yeah, you want to be charitable Which I obviously didn't but Let's talk a little bit more sara about Instagram let's do it tech crunch reader jennady okrain. Hope I got your name right noted that instagram added the ability for Some users to add a credit or debit card. What does that mean? Well instagram conferred to tech crunch It's testing native payments for booking appointments such as restaurants or salons Riley is one of the first partners resi resi resi is one of the first partners rather You know, it's funny when I first read the story. I was like You know like I don't want to send tom a payment via dm on instagram like I have so many other options to do that however When um ads are forced to my face as they are on instagram regularly and I've stopped trying to hide them I just deal with it now I get why this would make a lot of sense Yeah, it's not it's not person to person payments. It's oh, I'm making reservation. Let me prepay for it Yeah, it's a business account. It's something that a business account could add the functionality to exactly I guess I It is weird though. Like does resi do that a lot. I I don't use resi that often But the few times I have I hadn't have to haven't had to pay I just pay for the meal at the end so Nicole, what do you think of this? No, nothing. Oh, I think maybe we lost nicole. Oh, we may have lost nicole. Oh, I'm back. Okay. Hey yeah, so In terms of the instagram payment, I will say that it really works with the ads like if you get an ad for, you know, a bag or per shoes You can just tap on over and off you go Yeah Buying what you want, although it does see that this seemed like this new one is Yeah, absolutely. This this is for services, but I can't imagine eventually the rollout for actually buying the thing that you're seeing Yeah Nvidia announced it's canceling its g-force partner program after all the backlash If you remember amd had blog postings about how it was creating new brands to get around it That its partners had complained about restrictions Nvidia claimed it only wanted partners to define one Brand as exclusively powered by g-force Nvidia says it didn't object to similar amd only brands Or separate mixed brand offerings in a blog post though Nvidia wrote rather than battling misinformation. We have decided to cancel the program Okay Yeah, so this is a lot of you can decide what side of the fence you're on But a lot of people are still accusing Nvidia of trying to steal all the good brands And make sure that their partner is used in video in there Forcing amd to come up with new brands that might be seen as a little bit less valuable I don't know if you've been following this nicole, but uh, I don't know that there was going to be An a consensus agreement in the industry about this so probably smart for Nvidia to just back out Yeah, might as well just do it now instead of Hanging around take your branding deal and go home Uh, because because yeah, I mean I I see where amd was coming from It's like look if Nvidia comes in and pressures partners to take their existing brands and make those Nvidia only Sure Nvidia is not saying it's exclusive But it does force us to be on a different name which is going to cause some market confusion I think in the end it would have ended up balancing out and people would have realized Oh radion's in that brand now and maybe it even would have been better Like Nvidia says but honestly honestly, I don't think it's a battle Nvidia would have won And they might as well just cut their losses and not Generate more negative I think that's the calculus they came to right as they decided, you know what? This is just making this is making more problems than it's worth. So let's get rid of it The strategy analytics smartphone model tracker is about to make a few of you mad. So sorry in advance Services has new research that says that global smartphone shipments reached 345 million units in q1 of 2018 with apples iphone 10 In the top spots as world's best-selling smartphone model smt says the iphone 10's Popularity is due to a blend of good design sophisticated camera extensive apps and widespread Real presence retail presence rather for the device in the marketplace Which accounted for 16 million units shipped in the first quarter Xiaomi's redmi 5a and samsung's galaxy s9 plus for the world's top-selling android smartphone models And don't forget the galaxy s9's only came out at the end of the quarter So you don't even have a full quarter of sales for samsung here This is this is actually Uh, really really good showing for samsung Given that it was only a partial quarter So expect the galaxy s9 not only to pass the redmi But pass a bunch of these iphone models as well It'll be interesting to see in a full quarter to quarter comparison with the iphone 10 later in its product cycle Whether galaxy s9 actually passes it there But it does give the lie to all that hype nicole that we were hearing like no one's buying the iphone 10 apples doomed Yeah, I mean that's always like every year. I feel like this is same old same old same old amount apples doomed because it's iphone 10 It's not doing well I mean, that's good I mean, I still think samsung will probably win out in the end We'll have to wait and see, you know, as you say galaxy s9 just came out So, um, I kind of think samsung will still top it, but we'll see I think the other thing that's interesting about this is we're talking about samsung apple and xiaomi all in the same breath Like yeah, those are the top three brands of phone in the world right now And for a while xiaomi was the the darling bargain price version that it was in trouble and now it's back with the vengeance Yeah, xiaomi xiaomi is it's an upcoming coming brand. I mean they're the number one brand in china. I think Yeah, they just they just reach the top. You're right. Yeah I think that's right. I think they passed all the way So, yeah, I look at this. I think these numbers are very interesting in a lot of ways And it's not so much just You know, is it apple or samsung at the top? But but just the fact that we have consolidated the smartphone market to the point that it is pretty much three brands and two operating systems right now Well, uh, let's talk a little bit about defense ones report that the head of the usfbi's operational technology law unit Speaking at a conference in denver described several incidents in which criminals used unmanned aerial vehicles You'll heard them call quad copters or drones But I like to say uavs because drone can mean other things too and we're talking about quadcopter type stuff uavs Anyway, that criminals have been using them to combat law enforcement So the anecdotes told in the speech involved Several including the most dramatic that claimed a gang executed a series of high speed low passes At the agents in the observation post to flush them out The group of uavs was also used to stream video of the agents That's the one you're seeing in the headlines like a swarm of drones was used to attack fbi agents It does sound like it was a pretty dramatic incident. I don't know how representative it is The group of uavs was also used or i'm sorry other incidents involved using a uavs to see who came and went from police departments So simple surveillance observe gaps in security patrols for robberies And even one example where they were used to monitor the australian port authority workers So that smugglers could cause a distraction if they noticed the workers getting too close to containers that contained contraband So if somebody would look like they were about to inspect the wrong crate or the wrong wrong container unit I don't know they faint and be like, oh Come over. I'm sure it was more sophisticated than that Uh, yeah, this is getting a lot of attention because of that headline of swarms of drones How how much of a problem do you think this really is? Who's good? I mean, who I'm assuming they're cloaked somehow. I'm assuming you can't see them I mean, I think you can't see them. Can you see them? Yeah, I think they're just you know, they dart in and dart out Wow You don't know this them. I don't know Oh, maybe maybe that's the only way I can see this being as effective as they're describing Yeah, because you're right anybody who's been around a quadcopter knows they're not terribly silent yet Right, you can see them like you can see them. They're very clear in the sky They make a high-pitched buzzing sound. That's quite noticeable. I mean, it's it's it's very interesting because um One could foresee a future where these are kind of your lookouts, right? You just kind of send one up whenever I see it. I see less of the swarming and trying to flush out federal law enforcement and more of like keeping tabs on, you know, where the police are in the neighborhood So I can be on the opposite side Uh of the town or the block because I mean it's that that that's a behavior That's like, you know a century is old But now you have a wireless flying technology that allows you to be more efficient at it Which might be and the point of the speech was to make the argument that laws need to change to allow law enforcement To combat this kind of behavior Which sometimes makes me skeptical of like, oh, how how common is this really? Are you just using it to make your case and the case may may be valid? I'm not arguing against it But it's definitely something that I think law enforcement would like to see new legislation on and it's something that I think people should be very Like what what you essentially said is just be very skeptical But also very hesitant to say all right now. We're going to ban everything Because the police have told us they can't do their jobs because these are things they're flying around And you know that of course in any open society got away the difference the the value proposition of You know law enforcement with public openness I EEE spectrum reports on an FCC filing from a company called point view for a satellite called Athena that could deliver internet service 10 times as fast as SpaceX's starlink SpaceX began launching satellites in February while point view plans to begin launches in early 2019 I triple e spectrum notes that point views FCC application Was written by the same law firm that facebook uses to file views to file its FCC applications And has the same corporate agent in Delaware as several facebook subsidiaries They also talk about how the proposal notes that there would be a backup server Located at a sort of indistinct office park in north ridge north of la Which happens to be where facebook is rumored to be creating its space-based technology recruitment arm Indications point to point view being facebook's satellite internet arm You know if all the things that facebook is you know, it caught in hot water for lately the the idea of it Providing, you know low orbiting satellites around the world for people to have internet It's not one of the things that gets me up in arms. You know, I'm like, okay Do it great. I don't know if I want facebook as my isp though Well, no but We also have lots of choices Compared to people who have zero We have a lot more choice than a lot of people do tom that's Um We will if there's spacex and this and uh, my local cable monopoly. That's true But yeah, I Choice has always been one of the things I've argued needs to be increased in the united states So I guess that that's a way of pushing me in to say, okay fine You know make facebook an isp because if there is space isp, that's more choice. So Hey folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each date about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines available on the amazon echo google home and the anchor app and at dailytech headlines dot com So disney launched an update to its star wars jedi challenges game They launched it back in november was showed off at ces it works on lenovo's smartphone powered mirage headset With a matching lightsaber controller Uh, and this update nicole allows local multiplayer mode Called lightsaber versus that lets you duel your friends in the same room now you tried this out Uh, and I guess both players would have to have their own mirage headset and controller, right? Yeah, I mean, it's not You know, it's not like a one size fits all like you both need to have your own separate headsets and controllers But before you could only battle online or or in-game stuff now now you can actually play with your friend How was it? It was uh, pretty interesting. So the the idea behind AR and the the jedi challenges thing in general is that When you're wearing and you're seeing virtual objects in front of you You can you're still in like the real world So like these virtual things are sort of overlaid on top of your living room or your office or whatever So um with the battle the battle you actually you actually see the person like right there You know your friend or whoever sitting there sitting right there in front of you waving their lightsaber hilt around And it's kind of like a fun arcade game I would sort of describe it as like you start your arcade together You're just sort of playing playing starts with your friends. I don't know But with a video game setting so there are actual like rules and points and they they're sort of battling for and you're blocking Shots and you're you know blocking you're sort of dodging left and right to sort of block no their shots So, um, it's a lot of fun. It's it's I don't know if it's like the thing you would play like all day long or anything But it's a it's a good like it's a good party game. It's a good party Fighting atmosphere kind of thing. Do you feel like the game at least mirrors? How a lightsaber fight would play out in an actual star wars movie in any sense? Or is it just kind of something else? it's I mean are you getting I don't think for doing stuff that seems right my big question Like what a day I would do when you got blocked because there's nothing actually stopping you right So there right so there are there are visual keys So for example, if there is a sign that says block then you block if there's a sign that says dodge Yeah, you dodge. It's kind of like following. It's kind of like ddr But like late saber lightsaber version of it lsr You sort of do you sort of matching matching patterns as as you're as you're fighting around and the person That matches the patterns better will win eventually So and then you see your hit points go down as as the other person that goes better and that kind of thing I mean it was fun after a week of facebook announcements, uh and getting to play this, uh How are you feeling about augmented reality? I know you wrote an article that says facebook seems like they're winning the augmented reality war right now Yeah, I mean, they're very different kind of things. One is the ar hit set model One's like a physical pair of glasses that magic leaps working on and all those companies are working on Um, and then there's like the phone stuff It just as we've seen we've pokemon go and snapchat selfie filters and that's like the really that's like that's like the entry level Right, that's like the the gateway drug of augmented reality That's some people point out it may not actually be augmented reality, but it gets people used to the idea Right. So the idea of like seeing digital things on top of the real world is oh That's kind of cool that you can see, you know virtual cartoons on your desk and that kind of thing um And as I sort of mentioned in my piece like it seems super trivial right now like, you know Face mask and selfie filters like what can like what they do, right? But but I think the idea behind the idea here is that that's just the beginning I guess that's sort of like Get people used to the idea of ar and that eventually they'll sort of like, okay If you if you if you're interested in this maybe like think of having a 3d object in your photos and that's kind of cool or maybe um And I've you know, you're measuring things that is the popular is the popular Yeah, that's one of the big apple Big apple wants to be put in your room. So, um I think I think the reason why I think facebook has a good hit start because you already have a facebook app You already have an instagram app You already have messenger probably I mean if if if if you if you're a messenger user anyway So like you already have it in your hand you already installed them so it's like a matter of introducing small little like ar bits into your everyday use and um That way you that way you associate facebook with ar so that kind of like the association um That's why I think that I really could hit start but of course it's not just that right there's more than that but the interesting that I was talking to I was asking a guy and he's like Literally the ar is pretty trivial. It's just like face mask is selfie filters and he said Well, if you remember the iphone when that first started it was just fart apps and like pouring beer from your phone true Okay I guess I mean, I don't know I was plagued with fart apps at one point. I do at one point Uh, okay, I understand that but that still doesn't really that still doesn't really answer the question of like You know at this point it's mostly just those trivial use cases. We'll see where it goes from here. I guess Yeah One of the things that did catch my eye and we talked about it when we talked about the f8 announcements earlier this week was Facebook's ar studio unlike google or apples efforts is designed to be Very user friendly so that you don't have to already be a developer to put together some of these things Yeah, so that's the other That's the other advantage of facebook has is that ar studio from what I understand is like very like If you're an artist or if you're if you're if you're a designer like a like a like a graphic designer You could easily just jump in, you know start Playing around and you people to create a fairly decent sort of ar creation within like a few minutes or something like that So that's pretty interesting. Yeah, which I mean and that's that's how the app store took off Is they they made it easier it not as easy as this to be honest But they made it easier for people to develop apps for the app store, which is why you had so many fart apps because And and so I get the the parallel which is We you know facebook could say we've now made it easy Now let's see what people come up with But just because you haven't had anybody come up with something yet doesn't mean that they will Uh, and I'm not I actually believe in augmented reality I think we will find some really cool uses for it, but Uh, it remains to be seen, you know all kidding aside about, you know, Jedi fights and whatever It's like I actually think the exercise version of the It's very compelling to me I'm not so crazy about the idea of ar vr for a lot of gaming reasons that excite other people on that's fine But something where I'm like was it good exercise? Like, you know, it's just like my new hip hop class like I will do this like I I actually think that there's There's a lot of real world use Particularly in your own home where you don't need a lot of space Um, but that I would take advantage of and I think it'd be really fun. Yeah. I don't cycle anymore. I force cycle It was it was definitely a workout, you know, like the not just doing this But like you're you're ducking you're dodging you're moving left and right in the space to to avoid, uh, you know being sliced at um and That that could be an exercise routine made out of it. Maybe a slice left once You know, maybe a whole like pattern. Yeah. Well, you compared it to ddr and a lot of the lot of people felt that way about ddr Back in the day. So hey dance central on the we that was that was party I mean that you literally could sweat to the 80s You could sweat to the 80s with your friends dancing very badly I don't really know where we're not still doing that but it was it was fun for a time. So yeah All right. Well, let's see what the experts in our audience have to say in the mail bags, Sarah Let's do that first one comes from vince. He says in regards to why at&t might be blocking that 1.1.1.1 It most likely is a network configuration when I worked at another large telecom We would configure the management subnets of a lot of things with that As a common gate we address the reason we used this range with it was that it was just junk And we couldn't overlap ip ranges at customer sites without causing them routing problems So since customers use the entire spectrum of addresses under rfc 198 addresses We didn't have a lot of choices without burning valuable public addresses So this is less of an issue now with better virtual networking technology But at&t is big enough with enough legacy gear. It's a very real possibility Hmm I'm curious why cloud flares supposed ability to to handle all the junk routing Is disrupted by that but thank you for the insight vince that that definitely helps us to understand that a little more also From a person who is not officially speaking for amazon Says not likely that 3d body scanning would be involved in any consumer apparel shopping product But machine learning estimates of body shape based on a few flat photos and time trends are getting Surprisingly good. This kind of research needs a corpus A real world Ground truth data and regular scans are the obvious way to obtain that So not only do we have a listener who's awesome at making puns and seems to maybe have some inside information about this But it it kind of bears out what we were thinking is they're doing the body scanning to build a database But that wouldn't be how you would take advantage of this as a customer Nicole are you uh in online shopping maven in any sense? We were talking about this yesterday and the fact that it's so hard for a lot of us to do that because we just don't know How things are going to fit Um, I usually try things out first And then if if I have my size then I'll buy them online Yeah, exactly. And I think that this is the the problem that amazon wants to solve Yeah, they want to be able to say like oh, we bet this is going to fit you Yeah, like we don't want you to go to macy's and maybe buy it there if it happens to fit well Yeah, we can take a couple of pictures of you and make it fit if they can fulfill that promise That's pretty big. I would buy it because I'm you know being being a short person. Uh, I would I would buy it Without having to like have my pants every single time. Feel your pain sister Feel your pain All right, let's check in with len pralta who has been illustrating uh during this entire show len What do you got for us? Well, you know, uh, the jury's still out for me as far as a good lightsaber game Um, I I I've tried stuff like this before and I feel like it's always gone short So we'll see what happens, but this is a great image because the day of course is uh, may the fourth be with you And that is the name of this piece. Um, it's uh someone and I have to say I should have drawn Nicole Doing the review and I apologize It was as it's one of those things you're drawing and well suddenly realize that probably something else should have it But anyway, um, he's saying it feels as if I cried out at once and then suddenly silence That's how i'm gonna start my vr lightsaber review. What do you think nelson? And of course nelson is in the bottom who has just been beheaded by a very dark Darth vader. Yeah vader also looks very svelts Yeah, he's been he's been working out. Yeah I tried to show that off because he uh, he has been working hard on it and um, you know, the kedo diet Yeah, this is the danger of wearing a headset as you might not see an actual sith come into the room and decapitate your friends So that's right. That's why ar is better because you you see him coming. Exactly That's right Well, folks, go check it out. Len Peralta store.com. Yes, excellent Uh and also, uh, just commission me to do that as well. Go commission. Len right now. Don't wait. Don't wait Speaking of things that make things better.

We try No problem with that is we have to remember to switch it once a year when daylight's saving. That's right We know it was so funny the other day. I was having a conversation because I Time zones are very important to me. I don't know why it's just one of those things and um I mentioned something about a lannock time And my friend was like what's weird about a lannock time. It's just an hour ahead of eastern time and I was like Only half the year though and the other half had to 30 minutes ahead of eastern time And he was like mind blown Did you hear today about the north korea and south korea? North korea was like 30 minutes behind or something for like all this time Yeah, now that they're like, you know becoming one korea or something or whatever Uh, they're gonna change their time zone to like being 30 minutes ahead. Oh north korea has agreed to to unify the same time zone The same time zone as big They they used to be on the same time zone even after the war and then north korea changed Yeah, they changed just to be Just to be different But there are like there are certain places like there's a place between Russia and napal where it's like if you go east you actually lose time like it's You know time zones. Yeah, there's some other half hour time zones Yeah, they and they just get they get strange where you're like on a map. This makes no sense And then like arizona indiana. I don't think it does it anymore, but arizona And Some of arizona. Oh, I thought it was all of arizona, but some of indiana but Oh, maybe i'm wrong about one or the other. I thought it was arizona indiana He's on central time because it's a chicago suburb So even not all of indiana is on the same time zone Time zones time zones. How do they work? How do they work? All right, i gotta go. All right. Thanks, nickle. Have a great weekend, nickle. Really good to see you later. Bye Yeah, australia has some weird ones too, enth mic I don't remember what they are But when you go like there's the The time zone that sydney and melbourne and everybody are in but then there's some weird time zones and you go west Oh, there was a really good article on courts that I read about about time zones World weirdest time zones. Hey, um, it was a linkbait thing that I got right into what are we gonna call this? Oh, here we go Roger, we were not ignoring you. We can't hear you for some reason. Oh, you know why because I muted myself. All right Lightsabers with friends No, like like words with friends. Yeah, or you could do feel the disturbance of the vr force Oh, that's good too. It's pretty short Uh, there's also lightsaber revolution and uh Pardon me may the virtual force be with you Should it be disturbance in the ar Force of the vr force because it was augmented reality. We were talking more ar. Yeah, feel the disturbance in the avr force I like that that's your fave Yes Someone just needs bliss. Yeah. Thank you the disturbance in the ar vr force Yeah Fly it to ar done done done done Okay, so Here we go, you know, here's one of those accidental pieces of brilliance that happen from time to time I did not realize when we picked nicole's story about the lightsabers that it was may the fourth Oh my god That's why I wrote it at the top of the show Yeah, no, and then when you wrote it at the top of the show and I said it I was like, oh And then when len was like, oh, I I'm drawing a star wars thing. I'm like it all Obviously, we always meant to celebrate may the fourth This topic and this art that was the plan for the beginning. No, I thought that's why I thought that you did it The the lightsaber thing was great. Yeah And I'm sure you guys realized it Well ahead of me, but that's so funny. That's great when just you know, just being causes the right thing to happen Well, you can't help but be uh Involved in the star wars. I mean, how much of a hallmark holiday is that may the fourth be with you? I don't think it's a hallmark holiday because it's kind of come from the bottom up It started as just a bad pun and more and more people have started celebrating it And now lucas film is on board, but they that that wasn't always the case Yeah, I see I guess I mean, I'm trying to think of any other holiday that's based around uh a commercial product Valentine's day. Oh no Christmas Well, just one you mean you mean halloween halloween Um harbor day, you know trees weren't a thing until they started marketing them St. Patrick's snake driving service We drive them straight to you straight out of your house into our van. Yeah This is very interesting. Are you still reading about time zones? I am. Okay. Let's lay it on us. All right. So, okay, so We'll just start here. Um, the biggest, uh, non international dateline time gained to be found is along the 76 kilometer Uh border between afghanistan and china which gains or loses you three and a half hours at once Depending on from which direction you're traveling. That is because despite crossing five Standard time zones since the beginning of the kanya's party rule in china in 1949 All of china has been standardized to beijing time, which is utc plus eight So wait the entire country's plus eight no matter where you are, right? So depending on where you cross the border between the two countries And so when you get that far west you should be about two hours off in time zones But china only has one time zone. So you're not right Russia has been on permanent daylight savings time since the soviet union introduced it in 1930 See i'm all for that permanent just make it permanent Interesting daylight time say don't change time. Just keep it. Don't miss the time keep it lighted Yeah, you know, let's let's you know, that's the forces you can't control Don't mess with time and it I mean and it goes on and on It's just time is actually not a real thing. It's a flat circle Time is a is a emergent property of consciousness Time is actually like a um a tree with rings. That's how I see time Well the way physicists see time as is as irrelevant That's how I keep reading more and more articles where they're like, yeah time really doesn't matter And when you really get down to the physics of how things work Oh, here's another here's another good one Another anomaly uh in india, which became one single time zone for the entire country However, the seven sister states of the northeast that were semi isolated from the rest of india after the partition Sit 30 minutes behind butan and bangladesh lying to their west That means they're east of countries That are ahead of them in time zones to the west what Wait, that's that this is why we're not reacting sarahs. This is blowing our minds like I can't quite wrap my head around So it'd be like if I went it would be like you saying like to the central time California, I'm in illinois sarahs ahead of me in the time zone Because of like political stuff that happened, you know a decade or a century ago. That's crazy. That's crazy. Where is that again? In india in the northeast of india. Hmm northeast Oh that part of india That's such a corn state india corn state I don't feel like india has a lot of corn in it. It's indiana. Sorry. Ah, I got it bad joke Right, right I mean, do do ohioans have a have a thing with indianans. Oh, no, we love indianans Especially when they stay in indiana chicagoans have a thing with indianans And the rest of illinois That isn't chicago No, our our beef is with pennsylvania. Oh really Pittsburgh, you know So there's not a Cleveland Cincinnati thing. Is that that a thing? Not really. Yeah, okay. I mean, I guess No, not really In wisconsin captain jack 913. Yeah, that's true. No captain jack's right Is it because wisconsin does all the milk? All the milk, no, it's because all the rural areas around chicago Chicago because chicago has all the beef in the chicago board of trade My favorite thing in the outline chicago land area is the brat stops where you get gas and it brought worst You know the first time I ever saw it. I read it as brat stop So i'm like is this like a place to take your like unruly child because you're on a road trip Chicago people are all so stuck up. They gotta have brat stop But but honestly like I laughed and laughed and everyone, you know, like, you know friends from chicago kind of looked at me like You know what a bra worst is right? That's not what it looks like but not what this whole thing looks like. It looks like a brat stop Oh, but you know say what you will about chicago. Their bratwurst are amazing They really are chicago is a lovely city. What are my favorites? I will have to try one delicious pizza I like the pizza just great. Yeah, you know the thing though is um The deep dish pizza is best eaten like a slice a week because you can't really you shouldn't really eat You know, I mean, it's just it's so heavy city broad shoulders Boy deep dish man. That sounds great right now. Doesn't it though? I already feel bloated like thinking about eating it It is it's too much. It's it's my it's my favorite kind of pizza and I don't even like Wrong wrong. I don't even participate in the like is it, you know the italian style or new york style or deep like Whatever like I don't I like pizza But I mean a good deep dish Because I feel like it's like It's a casserole. I don't last me a week What is the what is new york style? Is that where you fold it over like a sandwich press where you have to fold it Yeah, it's definitely I like that too. I like all the things. I like it. There's no bad pizza. We don't need to fight We're cracking All pizza's good. Yeah, all good all good We should get into an argument about it. That's what it should be about Wait, you know what every time I bring up rounds you're enjoying the pizzas based on the experiences you bring to it No, it's based on my taste buds. I'm looking at it from a different perspective I'm coming at it from a different I guess there's certain people who just they don't like the I mean thick You know the the deep dish thick crust style is you know, it's doughy I definitely like it and some people just don't like that It's so it's well You need a doughy because you don't want it to you don't want all the sauce and everything else to break through it That's doughy because it's an homage to the people who made it Who brought their experiences God, no, I don't make a pizza in my own image. What are you saying? I'm fat You Any of you ever make your own pizza using Boba Lee? Yes back in the day back in the day. There was there was definitely some Boba Lee Experiments going on in the Lane household. I tried it and I was like no, I'm just gonna order these I guess no no success. No success Do you guys have a chain called jets pizza out near you? No No That's a good pizza. That's not necessarily deep dish, but it's thick Thick pizza. I don't I was gonna have a cheeseburger after the show and now I'm like, I want pizza I like no, it has to be thin. I love thin Because you can have different types of slices I can eat three of those Used to love poshies and it's like ramen though like ramen's all good Sometimes I might want soy sometimes I might want salt sometimes I want chashu But it's all good Thick sometimes I want deep. Wow. I haven't had ramen in a while Now you're now I've switched you from pizza to ramen No, I still think pizza sounds really good. I want a deep dish pizza. Where is that in los angeles?
