 Fan correct. Correct. Of course. This does affect you because they apparently have moved all this salary away So they can make a max deal offer to one Kevin Durant Well, okay Complicated complicated feelings Kevin Durant when he was In Oklahoma, I I I disliked him. I was a Kevin Durant hater Let's call it. What were you bumping that little B track? Absolutely. Yeah, I know all the lyrics. We'll sing them now because it's not family family But but but then when he came to the where is he gelled so quickly and Everyone seemed to like him so much and he's so talented that I just had to like let that all go and And I love his him and his spaghetti arms. Yeah He's super talented that being said. He's he does seem perhaps slightly difficult to work with if he left And they kept boogie. I feel like I would like that team more I really liked really and I like I like how angry he is and I like it when the Warriors are defensive and petty I like that Well, you know, it's funny a friend of mine really good friend of mine. He he he's from dc. So, you know he's he he likes weird teams, but hates Hates hates dream on green and I'm like why I mean, why do you hate him? He's a really good player He talks some smack gets in some trouble you know Seems to recover and you know that he's a he's a likable person on the team hates that guy Yeah You know, there's there's one of those things where uh, you know, sometimes we call Oscar movies Deliberately paced and sometimes we call them boring despite the fact that they're pretty much the same thing It just depends on whether or not we liked what happened Similarly warriors fans know Dreymon as an agitator and the rest of the league knows him as a dirty player Right exactly. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah But I but it's funny because it's like this is just not a per I'm like of all the people to decide that you Really hate that much in the nba. I feel like you could probably find somebody worse Yeah, that's probably just me talking as a warriors fan Dreymon Dreymon and Durant get the get the most hate for different reasons uh, yeah Durants looked at as as less than for joining a big team. Dreymon is just I think he's hated for for for Correct basketball reasons like he's just an annoying person to play against you when you're playing against him You don't like him. He's got a big personality Like that's that's a good basketball might punch your junk Yeah, you know, yeah, look he's got a he's he is a habitual line stepper as Well one line we don't want to step on is Not doing the top of the I don't know how to segue into that Uh, no, it was good. I liked what you did there, Raj Yeah, so if you could just kind of read in and then Justin As Sarah gives her account just hit record when she said right after she says two Because you say you you say three two and you don't say one you just start right so That's right I mean I could say one but Yeah Um, but yeah, all right. Well it's 130. So let's do it Let's do it and three two Mike Aikens has supported independent tech news directly for five years be like Mike become a dTNS member at patreon.com slash dTNS This is the daily tech news for thursday, january 31st 2019 from studio feline. I'm sarah lane from the shores of lake merit I'm justin robert young and uh Sitting under a big wet cloud. I'm roger chang the show's producer Man, I mean we have had some crazy weather across All of the u.s. But uh, certainly here in la roger and I were talking about these thunderstorms enlightening storms that we did not see around these all that often Shook my house for two big rumbles like the whole house shook like if I had a surround sound system I would class that as class AAA But I don't Well, justin from the shores of lake merit Uh, it looks like you're going to get some of our weather later this week. Yeah, you know, it's been a little rainy over the last few days It's apparently going to be even more rainy toward The weekend here, which is a real bummer because you know, you'd like to go do things but uh, I'm thrilled To be uh to be done now. I'll tell you what we're coming up on on one 12th of 2019 in the books for rain No, for the year. We're already done with a month. It feels like it was new year's eve yesterday Well, it's very wet here. All right. Well Uh barring all all temperature issues and and and and and rainfall numbers Let's get into some tech news starting with a few tech things. You should definitely know Intel has named bob swan as the company's ceo. That was thursday swan had been serving as interim ceo for seven months now After acting as chief financial officer since 2016 He was also elected to the company's board of directors in the move Todd underwood who was vice president at finance will assume the interim cfo role Which the company while the company searches rather for a permanent cfo Uber and cabify must suspend their services in barcelona in response to a regional government's imposition of limits on how both operate in the city Including a ruling that both can only pick up passengers after a 15 minute delay from the time they were booked I mean, nobody wants it to work that way No, why From that, I guess either just trying to Protect local cabs. I don't know. Yeah, I mean it's a great way for people to be like Well, the uber system doesn't work that well And the rest of us are like 15 minutes. That's crazy The tesla model y will begin volume production by the end of 2020 the company announced an eight letter two shareholders wednesday Tesla hasn't shared a prototype of the vehicle details are slim But the company did say it would work on the model y this year At least start working on it anyway and would likely be produced at the company's massive giga factory, which is in nevada This is according to ceo elan musk Although he says lots of things all the time Yeah, I mean look they normally happen. They just very rarely happen when he initially says they're gonna happen Uh, yeah model y I look forward to it. Uh, all right, justin. Let's talk a little bit more about something that that that that may affect More people and those are people who have iPhones and those are people who might like interesting camera technology Yes, the camera is the reason to buy the iphone as we've heard and sources tell bloomberg that apple may be putting a 3d camera into new iPhones as soon as next year The rear facing longer range 3d camera can be designed to scan the environment to create three-dimensional Instructions of the real world or a r as we know it Apple's upcoming system reportedly uses a laser scanner rather than existing dot protection Dot projection technology, which doesn't work as well over longer distances Other reports point to a third more advanced camera enhancing photo capture tool and a more powerful chip that apple plans to introduce in the coming generations of iPhones sara we we've seen ar be a feature that apple like out for the iphone Over the last two models There's no denying that they're the best in class at doing what they are trying to do Uh with their ar kit and their developer uh system and the hardware that they have And yet it doesn't exactly seem like uh ar is taking over the world Does yet another advancement that gives us more mapping technology at longer ranges excite you No, it doesn't and that's not because I don't think that technology Uh has a place and and and will be significant and I'm I'm one of those curmudgens who is sort of like ar I don't know. I just want a really nice camera to take photos of my cat I don't need it to be a 3d, but at the same time. It's if i'm Uh developer who is working on you know an app that that this might become something that I can integrate with Then sure that makes a lot more sense to me. I don't I don't know besides Some sort of those like pet moji kind of things like like what exactly The iphone camera has done with ar that has really Surprised and delighted the public We've seen some great demos. We've seen demos of games that you can play with your friends and and you can do star crafty The strategy and stuff like that, but at the end of the day I don't think ar lives on your phone I think ar lives in glasses ar lives in something that you can understand the full Full field of vision and you can use it in an unobtrusive way if i'm pulling out my phone I'm pointing it at something and then i'm opening an app or or Swiping and doing another thing to get some kind of information I can't imagine what is worth that for me that I can't look up or have fed back to me in an easier way Yeah, and maybe ar does live on your phone But it's not that sort of like all consumers are going to love this new feature. I think I think I I well i'm not speaking for anybody but myself, but I think a lot of people would sort of be like Okay, well, what does the care is the better camera? Does it look like sir when I take a photo like what How do I make use of this and I think the answer is probably a lot of people won't But doesn't mean it's not cool Yeah, well, I mean, I'll tell you there is a lot of soft ar there before before I totally trash it I mean that this is the reason why you have the snapchat filters is the reason why you have the dancing hot dog This is you know, there is a lot of soft stuff that is being Very that is very popular in in certain circles. I just don't know exactly how much more popular it would be with this uh advancement Well, I'll tell you about something that is going to be decidedly unpopular and that's a big data breach But this is perhaps the biggest you've ever heard of a large Glomerate of breach databases have resulted in a collection of 2.2 billion unique Usernames and associated passwords, which are being now distributed on hacker forums and torrents Which is the case when these sorts of things get leaked earlier this month though security researcher trey hunt identified Collection number one as it was called by an anonymous creator No hunt said at the time that represented 773 million unique usernames and passwords Since then though more researchers have obtained and analyzed an additional database In fact, several of them collections two through fives and now we have one through five and they total 845 gigabytes of stolen data and 25 billion records Analysts at the hasso platter institute in potstam, germany now say that the total breach represents close to three times What that original collection number one batch had inside the first reported? This was first reported by the german news site hyze dot de and most of the stolen data appears to come from Previous breaches that were known of yahoo linkedin and dropbox You know there are some songs that when you go to your favorite artists in concert that You just immediately along with the rest of the crowd get excited when you hear the opening chords and low Even without tom here. We can play for you one of the great hits Passwords need to go away and we need a better way to secure our devices and how we interact with our data online because Uh, look, I feel I feel I feel you channeling the the merit energy actually I do It's just it's never going to stop. It's why you need to be secure in terms of using a last pass or a one or a One password. Yeah, some kind of password locker It helps to generate strong passwords and not reuse passwords. I am I'm only now Getting better at it. It is a pain in the ass to get going with a solution like that But this and here's the sad part about it What the stuff we hear about Oftentimes is when it's already been sold for big money And now it is out in in in the kmart of of of the dark web like this isn't right. Yeah behind the scenes We're a collection number five guys Oh, you know, it's it's interesting because you know, this isn't a recent breach This is just essentially someone who is wholesaling all the stuff that's already out there And he's just basically creating a giant, you know, yellow pages Yeah, that they're so and it's it does show you that the some of the stuff has legs well beyond The two or three months after it passes from the new, you know The headlines off for something else that it really pays to you really need to keep an eye On all the stuff and again, you know, you know There needs to be another way to secure these things besides passwords But also you need to to make sure that if you have any floating accounts You make sure you close them if you're not gonna if you don't plan on using them Or doing something with it other than just letting it sit I mean that's something where I would love I would love a simple tool That I could just enter in my email And it would return every site that I have an account with Like just so I could know like, okay, I gotta I gotta shut down this this this this because I never use these things Especially for us Sarah, you know When you when you work in tech and you're trying out every new little thing that comes down The the the river because that's your job God, I can't imagine how many stupid social networks I've signed up for that All of them, you know, yeah, every single one of them All of them. I have account everywhere. Um, yeah, that is a very good point I also think that and I I sometimes point to my less technologically inclined friends who Would hear a story like this and be like, I don't know those numbers seem really big But I mean did anybody like heck my social security number? If so, if not, then, you know, like what do I care? What, you know, how do I need to live my life differently? And that's a tough thing to explain to somebody why it matters that that information like this is out there Especially if you reuse passwords in the future and might be targeted down the line Here is something and I'm unsure about the android solutions Although I'm sure that they are just as good, but I do know that in the new ios They have built in far better solutions for last pass of one password You're able to fill in your passwords a lot easier, right? It can autofill Right from the the little suggestion bar. So it's never been easier to have strong passwords It's never been easier to keep up with strong passwords. It's never been easier to refresh them Hey, Justin, this might interest you. Yeah In fact, I know it does ultraviolet the cloud based movie locker service Is stopping at service on july 31st according to digital entertainment content ecosystem also known as dece The organization responsible for running ultraviolet users shouldn't delete their ultraviolet movie libraries The company says or the conglomerate says make sure that your library is at least connected to one retailer If you want to access your content moving forward, so it's not going to go away But it's not going to stay here in an interview with variety dece president Wendy Ellsworth said that when ultraviolet launched when options were limited but with more comprehensive services and players Involved the market has now changed. She also dismissed the closure was in response to disney's competing version of ultraviolet called movies anywhere Mm-hmm Okay, you would say that uh scott blend stein the vp of voodoo the biggest retailer associated with ultraviolet said Quote customers who use voodoo to watch or rent or buy movies and tv shows will not be impacted by the discontinuation of the ultraviolet platform These problems and specifically i'm talking about how to watch movies that you own How to remember that you own the movies How to uh, how to upload movies that you previously purchased how to connect them to services that you Maybe don't think about as much anymore and don't necessarily want to go To those sites to use their players or you want to play them on the device that you want This will only get bigger However, we are also at a very uh, a weird place where because everybody is now All the major players that is are uh, are now taking the plunge into digital media In in a gigantic way like what disney is doing Everybody is more restrictive about their rights than than they have been and yet and so we now face this situation where when When ultraviolet came out it was like, oh look, this seems like a consumer friendly solution that uh for a very uh A bad and getting worse problem for digital media consumption and now it's closed and and I i i'm very frustrated by the fact that we can't You know, there's there's still not an easy Service that I can just throw all my dvds into a box and send it to them And uh, they can destroy the dvds upload everything that I previously purchased throughout the the previous You know decades of my life and now I can have them in one easy place It is just So annoying and and and it frustrates me to know it Roger Where do you fall in the ultraviolet spectrum because I uh, you know besides reporting on it on shows like this I I I don't have a lot of personal I think I have two and that's because I was curious about it I am one of those old funny dutties that has literally like four five large Tubs of my garage that are filled with all the dvds and blu rays that I've bought acquired or Or gifted over like, you know the past 12 15 years and I'm I'm I'm definitely of the the opinion that Part of the problem is the market It is a wealth of options, but it's also incredibly fragmented. There isn't an overarching thing that says, okay In terms of licensing You you you put it into here you can it's marked to you and so you can access it wherever who Who's ever whom ever service that that you that you subscribe to and I think it's it is frustrating and it's one of those Things as you know, disney has its own version and other companies feel that they are Big enough to command that kind of presence I think it's only going to get worse before it gets better Yeah, I I agree with you Oh, here's the reason why I didn't get into ultraviolet because I thought it was going to go away And that's the other problem in terms of consumer confidence Is that none of these things seem like they are going to be there for a while now Maybe the backing of something like disney does give people the the the sense and they'll be able to market it in a way that makes it Uh makes movies anywhere feel like a safe place that you want to go through the time and effort of setting up your library But then we're we're right back where we started from having a major rights holder now determine where and when I can watch stuff Yeah Well, Justin, let's talk a little bit about I don't know some goodness for facebook Yeah, you know, look Everybody thinks it's rain clouds for facebook. Well, I'll tell you what's not down The money baby Facebook reported strong q4 earnings hitting 2.32 billion monthly users up 2.2 percent from 2.27 billion last quarter the company hit 1.52 billion daily active users with 1.49 billion last quarter for a 2% growth rate Earnings per share was two dollars and 38 cents beating expectations of two dollars and 18 cents Notably facebook grew its da u in both the u.s Canadian and european markets where it earns the most money on the profit side facebook brought in 6.8 billion this quarter Yeah, so hey, you know, everyone's mad at facebook, but the bottom line doing great Um, I thought that going through these numbers and I know that you know, ornion's numbers sometimes a lot of people are like I don't okay analyst expectations. Maybe it's you know, a little bit over under but the fact that facebook in its It's it's core markets. And again, that's the u.s. That's canada And certain parts of europe which have slowed For recent quarters in fact several quarters in a row now and everyone kind of goes like, well, you know facebook is You have to you have to go to the other emerging markets, right? We're running out of people on earth to be to be On the facebook platform the fact that the those numbers in those core markets Kind of saw a bump was interesting to me. I'm not exactly sure why particularly because and and This is probably a news echo chamber You know of some sorts, but we do hear so much about how you know facebook has has has has really led a lot of people down as far as privacy and and transparency and A lot of that is happening in these exact same markets that it ended up doing better and that I would have thought There is the old idiom that no news is bad news if you get your name spelled, right? Uh, so there there is an element there, but ultimately look What what we focus on with facebook is not what the mainstream focuses on the mainstream understands facebook as the place that they interact with people In their town outside of their town and pictures of their grandkids That's not going to change unless facebook dramatically Has something that affects them going forward I think the issues that we are seeing now for facebook are more worries troubles and worries In years to come as suspicion kind of grows with uh, their their their audience But here's the other thing with facebook man They better hope that these daily active users keep going because they're not apple They're not google and they're not amazon in that if they don't have a walled garden to sell advertising to Or they're adjacent walled gardens that they own to sell advertising to Their core product isn't as diversified as those other companies. Yeah In earnings news it's q3 earnings report nintendo revealed 9.41 million switch consoles were sold in the quarter for a total of 14.48 million for the financial year Some pretty good numbers despite the figures the company doubts it will meet its sales target of 20 million for all four quarters And has revised its target down to 17 million This is quite a trend with companies as of late and gadget notes However, that the switch has a lifetime goal of 32.27 million units sold worldwide Making it six hundred sixty thousand units shy of the popular nintendo 64 other sales bits included 12.08 million sales of super smash brothers ultimate 10 million units of pokemon let's go and 5.3 million units of super mario party to help pad the company's 608 billion yen in revenue for the quarter up from 400 483 billion yen at the same time last year operating profit came in at 1.159 billion yen up from 107 billion yen the same time last year as you could Read my thousand yard stare from looking at earnings reports all morning Uh, uh, look Which has been an unmedicated uh massive success for nintendo specifically considering to its expectations Before its release We now further rhapsodize it as the kind of b team of their titles Come out, you know supers not to say that super smash brothers and mario party and and and pokemon let's go are not gigantic titles They were Certainly sufficient enough to move the needle in the dramatic way that they did But the question is from here. Where is the switches lifestyle? They just rebooted Uh, or sorry it started from scratch on a new metroid game, which is pretty much You know that and donkey kong are kind of uh the last of the ip's that we have not seen dedicated new titles for So, uh, uh, we will we will see but again There's no other way to describe the nintendo switch other than a huge success for nintendo Yeah, I mean, I yeah b team jv call what you want. Uh, those are pretty big numbers And it was the holiday season, but still So wait, so this was for q3. So they still have yet to report their holiday numbers They they have one more they have one more a quarter to go their financial year is not a calendar year Right, so their third quarter and went over the holiday season. Ah, these are holiday numbers. Yes. Yes Uh, seven. Oh, sorry go ahead. No, please. All right. All right. Well, what do you say I talk about ss seven ss seven until it got just a protocol that coordinates texts and calls around the world is exploitable Yeah, yeah ss seven has the ability to track phones across the world and those who want to intercept text messages and phone calls Without hacking the phone itself can technically do so Motherboard reports this capability is much more widely available in cyber criminal groups than uh, that that use it empty bank accounts ss seven attacks against banks are on the rise according to the report and now the national cybersecurity center the defensive arm of the uk's signal intelligence agency g chq Confirmed that ss seven is being used to intercept codes used for banking Metro bank also confirmed that it is faced an ss seven attack and in a statement said it supported a law enforcement Investigation into ss seven attacks across the industry Well, you know, we're talking we were talking a couple minutes ago about changing your passwords and uh getting my bank account drained would be a great reason to You know take passwords more seriously, but ss seven's a whole different thing. Justin I mean certainly so, uh, this is uh a backbone core element of uh our technological world And by the way, these are the elements that actual hackers are the are are looking into like these are these are the elements that that Are looked at for their and tested for their security simply because they don't exactly have a You know as as much of a spotlight from a mainstream or Enterprise audience so This is fascinating. I I was not aware or as educated about ss seven before reading Up for this article, but I'm excited to see where it goes I'm excited as well. Um, and I hope that my bank account will slim to begin with Fully drained. Uh, yeah, I'm just saying man. I'm like a minnow. There's plenty of fat flounders out there ready Ss seven sharks want to start biting. Yeah, you don't want my bank account. You guys trust me It's gonna burger afterwards. You tell me how you did it. Hey breaking during the show This comes from our discord and thanks to roger for putting in this information Um and gager is reporting that apple shut down google's ability to distribute its internal ios apps This follower follows a similar shutdown for facebook earlier this week. We talked about it uh briefly on the show Yesterday a person familiar with the situation tells the verge that earlier versions of google maps hangouts gmail and other pre-release beta apps have stopped working today alongside employee only apps like a g bus app for Transportation helps people get to and from the the mother ship and google's own internal cafe app The verge reached out to both apple and google to comment on the situation Neither company has responded at least by the time we're talking about this Um and thanks to tv's egon for letting us know uh keeping us honest throughout the show strange Justin, I don't know how how much you were following the story from from yesterday about uh, uh, facebook Getting hampered by apple and and and quite a few Folks in the industry saying well, you know this just goes to show you how much how much power apple has if it You know if it wants to screw you up. It's going to screw a company like facebook up where Their internal apps aren't working anymore that are that are that are ios focused, but Maybe we're looking at more of a trend Well, I think this is this is apple trying to blow the whistle because they didn't like where the trend was going and if they don't do it to the big boys then uh The the the smaller players won't listen and if you do it to one big boy You got to do it to the other if they were apparently violating some of the same rules So uh while obviously there's been a very antagonistic relationship between apple and both of these companies It seemed like facebook got the brunt of the rat tail yesterday and there might have been a little bit of a A cry of of favoritism toward google which is a funny sentence to say considering we're talking about apple Uh, uh, but you know now now they get it I suspect that this is something that will probably wrap up fairly quickly that everybody will understand the rules of the road And promises to be and promise to be good boys going forward Raj you have some thoughts on this before we move to the next topic Uh, I say stay tuned because this is breaking. So we'll know more hopefully by tomorrow As details emerge, uh, but you know, thanks again to uh, discord crowd tvz gone for uh getting us on the ball on this one Absolutely, thanks everybody and also thanks to everyone who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories you can also vote on others and make it part of the show daily tech news show Dot reddit.com is the place to go if you hang out on facebook Well, we've got a facebook group for you facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show onto the mailbag now Daniel Nos in Cincinnati, uh pointed us to another verge article actually about the apple iphone se back on sale I don't want to clearance rack of sorts. Daniel says is this possibly a sign that apple might release an se Version two or are they just reclaiming some cash from old stock? I hope they release an se 2 for my kids Thanks and love the show um My guess would be that you know This ain't your your your your father's apple with their existence on keeping Minimal skews where you buy an iphone and the iphone has two colors and that's what you do Now they've got various divergent different versions of it So the idea of busting out some old stock and just making money on it because there obviously is a demand for a low price iphone Uh, it makes a little bit more sense for this version of apple. So that's what I would suspect that it is however The idea of them coming out with a lower priced iphone, you know maybe If they're stung by the idea that If they're stung by the the idea that their iphone numbers are lower and they want to goose them You never know Yeah, I I as somebody who has reported on iphone sales for many years We all have been doing this for a while. I'm officially in the camp of me being like, huh, Daniel Yeah, might not be wrong But you might not be right either. I truly don't know. Yeah, we we've got lots of iphone models And some of them come and go from the shelves. So it's uh, it's the wild west man Uh, speaking of the wild west, uh, because just and I know that you're a really big fan of westerns Sure. Uh, thank you for being on the show.

What is that you like? Oh, okay. Um leaked password blue light special Dark web kmart. I like that one that what I like Uh, your phone could be hacked. You can bank on it with a capital B The apple blockade Uh It's actually quite a few today I like the dark web kmart the dark word came out. That's pretty good. That's just funny and um At least in our showbots, uh In uh in the they agree six votes dark web kmart from striking rich originally do it Yeah rich Um See But Would it be safe to say that that you are are probably the the the biggest fan if you had to choose If you had to rank your sports fandom that you'd be primarily a giants fan or maybe the the biggest uh fan of the giants Or would it be one of the other bay area teams? Uh, I mean Are you asking if I like baseball more than other sports? Sure? I guess that's my roundabout way That's a good question. Uh, probably I would say probably I guess maybe that's not what i'm asking because uh, I My favorite team is the pittsburgh penguins and yet I undoubtedly spend more time watching football than I do watching hockey So it's like there there are some teams that I I have Yeah, and you know, that's funny because I I don't watch a lot of baseball on tv Yeah, and and it doesn't even have anything to do with what market i'm in right now It's like I you know, whether i'm in san francisco or not It's like i'm just not watching all the giants games my mother does I mean she is she's great at that. It's it's just not something that i'm i'm doing although You know, I wouldn't turn it off if it was on in the background But but yeah, I I don't watch as much baseball as I pay attention to Never really thought about it that way But I would say that yeah, like I mean I'm a giants fan. I'm a 49er fan And I'm a warriors fan and I don't really care about hockey, but I'll root for the sharks You know, I'm just like why not um, but uh, but but but yeah, it I know more about the Giants and warriors than I do about I really pay attention to the nfl this entire year here I'm gonna switch topics a little bit, but uh The city that you're living in now is los angeles and the la rams are in the super bowl on sunday I know Is this something where like is Do you know a rams fan that's excited? Actually, uh, well, no, I don't I was like, oh, there's that one now. She's a cowboys fan. Never mind She just I know a buddy of mine from la who lives up here now in oakland I'm like last year when they were like like showing signs of being good I'm like man, you better buy that hat now get on that train now when you could be an early rams fan You know, it's funny. I um, I I this is embarrassing to admit because I I consider myself a sports fan I like to know what's going on in the world of sports, but but but admittedly again I'm just I'm I I'm I'm out on the nfl this year I just haven't been paying it a lot of attention and Walk into the store the other day and there are a bunch of buses, you know, they're um on various both bus paths around me and and you know, one of them, you know, how they they can kind of like Program things to say in the front like go rams Which and I noticed a couple days ago. I was like all the buses say go rams I don't know. They must be doing well or something. Yeah, and it turns out. Yeah, they're in the super bowl And I don't I mean because I'm from the bay area. I am programmed to hate la I don't hate la. I live here. I like it No, but I don't but I don't like la teams. No, no, but I beat la is a lifestyle Absolutely is however beat the patriots is even more of a lifestyle. So go rams What did we pick for title real quick? Sorry The blue light special one dark web kmart Yeah, dark web came different kind of different different kind of blue light special. Yeah Cool. Thank you. No, I think that that's the cool thing is that right now. I kind of feel like the la rams are like It's a very like la vibe. Like it's like a no pressure. Like hey, man Like like room for us to win the super bowl. Like it's no Whatever show up late. Who cares like pressure. We're all new here. We're all new Like our coach is 11 years old like nobody knows like our running back We paid a billion dollars isn't playing and we have a fat guy now Nobody cares our corner. Ask us where our stadium is. You know, what he knows We have no you're on here somewhere. We don't know Like it's just like oh, we look we're shocked as you are that should be the rams slogan like we don't even know Where we're blown away by this That's good Yeah La rams we're as shocked as you are we're as shocked as you are Although I have very much rooting for them because oh, yeah, they Franchise that frustrates me personally Uh, and and you know because I wound up talking about them so much on my shows Are talking about my frustration professionally as well I always say that they frustrate me personally and professionally since I turned my frustration into content Oh Sports The gift that keeps on giving uh, do you uh, uh, do you are you gonna make an effort to see the game? You're gonna always go to a super bowl party or anything? um, so and like I'm I'm sure everybody on this panel can can uh, I understand my my The the the idea of like it's friday night. Yay Weekend time To me. I'm like, well, I just wake up really early on saturday morning And I work like I did on friday and like I will on monday and I'll do the same thing on sunday So no, I'm not probably going to any super bowl parties. I'll I'll try to make sure I understand what goes on I'm sure maroon 5 will have a great halftime show With I don't know whatever It's uh, uh Travis Scott and big boy And and that's kind of the Atlanta crew, right? Because the sure shows going on, but uh, uh, uh big boy I mean you would hope theoretically I mean like the the the the band you would want to have the halftime show in Atlanta would be outcast and You have all the amazing acts from Atlanta over The past 15 years do you know of ludicrous and and everybody else that's Been from Atlanta to do a hip-hop themed kind of show But it's the nfl and the cavernic thing kind of hung over Yeah, hung over everything because they initially tried to get cardi b because maroon 5 as a single with cardi b And she apparently was not not about it because of the nfl's handling of colin cavernic Well, uh the super bowl halftime show has gotten a little strange over the last few years There's only seems to be yeah There's there's a lot of factors that go into like and this is what this person is performing So and so dropped out at the last minute. Okay See how it goes, but um, I'm a big Travis Scott fan. So looking forward to that Yeah, I mean the question there is his Big breakout single was sicko mode, which You know, uh half of the fund of sicko mode is the fact that it's a collaboration with drake drake not announced if drake appeared that would be a Big moment that would be a signature moment for the halftime show Uh, but you would think that that's probably not something that would happen as a surprise, right? You probably want to advertise the drakes on the halftime show. You're right, right and similar The biggest hit that outcast ever had was hayah And it's like it would seem kind of awkward if maroon 5 just plays hayah because big boy's not on that song right, uh Yeah I do remember and I don't I don't remember what show it was it was gosh, maybe the grammy's or maybe even like a mtv video music awards or It was hayah had kind of it had been the biggest song of the year for two summers in a row And outcasts before they sort of want their separate ways. I remember they they performed it I think this was at the grammy's if i'm not mistaken because it was sort of like You got the sense that it was a show that they had to play and and He said at the beginning he was like, all right, let's do this damn song again one more time And then they sang the song and you you sort of you kind of were like, uh, yeah, you've probably Performed the song so many times that you know hate this song or at least performing it, uh, you know for you know a bunch of Yeah, like teeny bopper coach eloquence. Yeah, you know, uh andre 3000 a bit of a prickly pear famously yeah You know he they never toured on that album, which would have been a massive massive I mean they might have been able to play stadiums With as hot as and as much of a cultural moment as they were having at that moment But uh, I did see them on on the reunion summer tour a couple years ago and uh Andre 3000 did both shows wearing a price tag hanging off of his arm and then came out after the uh After the tour and said, yeah, I was really doing it for money and it's like oh You don't say wow Yeah, yeah You don't say we did not realize that. Yeah, I think it's pretty clear dre I think I think we all I think we all picked up when you were putting down that you didn't want to be there Uh, uh, but we were excited that you made the effort I'm trying to figure out, you know, the the monetary compensation isn't really all that much for what I understand To be in the super bowl though Well, that's yeah that that's part of it is that it went from being a gigantic prestige thing Uh to now it's it's not as much largely because if you used to do the super bowl before There was no way that you're single that you debuted at the super bowl wouldn't be carried on radio for the next year Basically and and your album your new album would get uh Just tremendous tremendous carriage and all the physical record stores and everything As that's gone away as radio's influence has declined not gone away, but declined and now The people that you want to be sucking up to are you know, the people that's Spotify to put you on the featured playlist Uh, it's not as big of a deal anymore And now it's like people want money and they want artistic freedom in a way that The nfl doesn't want to give it to them because they're not used to paying and the last time they gave people artistic freedom Janet jackson's nipple wound up getting shown on screen. It's the largest non-pro that's like the most Successful nonprofit or one of the largest nonprofits. No, that that's a bit that's a bit of a a weird thing their office In new york like just the people that work in the nfl office not the franchises or or anything like that was Not for profit organization Up to a couple years ago, and then they wound up changing their designation. So they they they they they they know But even then it was the overhead there was was not it was like the people that set the schedules and and You know All that it wasn't like The rams or the raiders or the stealers or the patriots were nonprofit organizations If the patriots win this game, I'm just You're gonna scream I I might roger. I might I don't even I just I I've I've never wanted a team to just go away more and I'm so sorry to everybody in new england, but The rest of the world agrees with me. I'm sure Well, you know, it's I mean how many times have they been A hundred million It seems like they came but they came they just can't come with it come with the game Right, and they're really good. So that's you know, that's why They play in a garbage division the the afc east has perennially been been trash None of the teams can even be good enough Which means if they have that right there is six wins guaranteed every year like that and maybe they lose one They they they struggle sometimes on the road in buffalo or on the road in miami or something like that But other than that They get six easy wins and then they play whatever division and half those teams are are crappy They just perennially have An easy schedule like no matter how good they do because of the division that they play in And they cheat they are Known cheaters By They've got a good and they're cheating. Yeah, I mean look wait wait when you have multiple gates. It's a problem They have two Hey, you know what we have we have to stop the live stream.
