No That's her, you know hats are a thing best left on one head That's my happy I believe this on your family crest somewhere. Yes Mario at solo hato Especially because hats are often at least in my case a day when you have given up So, you know, you know have too many of those in a row You don't want to wear my hat doesn't take long doesn't take much to push me into wearing a hat on the show either Hillary Yes, yes people watching I am here I'm even is back When did you get back actually Saturday back three and a half hours before I left on Saturday morning? Did you kind of were you able to sleep and get back into the zone big fan of melatonin? Want to shout out to my doctor for recommending that?

Yeah, so I got another Saturday on a plane and Then a whole Saturday after that that was the weird thing is we got home and we realized We're home right now and awake earlier than we would be on a normal Saturday. We like have the entire Saturday Except that, you know You were exhausted Actually, it wasn't too bad. I was I was surprised when we actually got home. I was all right I'd slept just enough and we it was sunny out, but yeah by like five or six Eileen took a nap. I made myself not I walked the dogs and stuff by five or six though I was like gotta keep my eyes open. So when you guys came back from the airport Did you go by to pick up the dogs or you went home and then now we went home first?

Oh, sorry and people will know Hey when that lights on well, I actually have photo sensors on the lights that I use on the exterior So they're always on yeah They're trying to find one of not home, but yeah, no everything was everything was good All right, you guys ready? I'm ready sure Let's let's do an episode of the Daily Tech News show Been three days Mayhem More than a week for me same here Yeah I don't remember think it was last year right? No. No you were on in three months ago. Yeah, it wasn't that long ago Only that's the goal All right, here we go three two Do you like listening to advertisements me neither want to help and support greatest Wreckley? That heads of daily tech news show comm slash support and help us reach our new milestone today This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday May 29th 2018 in Los Angeles I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline. I'm Sarah Lane and from up a ladder studio. I'm I as a car Up a ladder studio. Is that new? Have you said that before I like that? Oh, I'm in the loft I figured to be better than saying loft studio up a ladder without a care in the world Good to have you here. I'm without a hat Big thanks to Sarah Lane and our producer Roger Chiang For holding down the fourth past two weeks while I beg God the shows were great. I enjoyed every one of them They were fantastic possible, you know, Roger and I chuckled amongst ourselves that although Tom was on vacation You know, he was listening to he always listens Well, because this is you know, if one day he decides to sell the show to some nameless corporation He'll still listen It was my morning listen in Australia was it was very nice. No, it was great. We missed you a lot But with Roger's help and of course all of our contributors We held down the fort and everything ran smoothly and the audience was great and I would say you did more than just hold down the fort you you you built the fort you improved the fort the fort was enjoyable Yeah, yeah, I hyper looped the fort All right, enough of this. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Apple's home pod smart speaker can now play in multiple rooms simultaneously and in stereo mode via Airplay 2 in iOS 11.4 Apple announces about four months ago Homepods can also sync with other Airplay to enabled speakers Apple also announced that home pod will be available in Canada France and Germany starting on June 18th iOS 11.4 has a few other features including messages in iCloud supports Uber's new panic button is now live in the United States So riders can get immediate help in the case of an emergency during their ride It's part of a new safety center within the uber app that includes info on the driving screening process Insurance protection community guidelines etc uber previously tested the panic button in India and uber says a similar button for drivers We'll be added soon The let's talk a little bit more about what's going down in the The down under near but not in Australia I was so excited to talk about this argument The Papua New Guinea and government is banning Facebook for a month in order to crack down on fake users and see how the service Affects its population Communication minister Sam Bezel said his department will conduct research and analysis on who was using the platform and how Papa New Guinea has around 7 million people but recent stats on internet use have put internet penetration at just 12% Don't know enough about Papua New Guinea and politics to say But it does seem from the outside as if this is sort of a PR play As if the government is saying we've been hearing about this controversy and we want to appear to be doing something about it well and in Other countries not this particular one is sometimes these sorts of things happen before Elections or something that's going to be happening in the near future that that it might actually have some significance to I have not been to Papua New Guinea But 12% of a population of 7 million using the internet in general even if all of those people were using Facebook It's a pretty small sample size and a month of not using Facebook I'm not totally sure what kind of analysis you're going to get about how the the the you know population differs between having it and not But it's interesting Yeah, and you a lot of times in low internet penetration Situations Facebook is one of the first things people use Facebook has its free basics program to encourage that But it also is just widely used by people as a way to connect for for free right without having to use text messages Jeff Bezos not only announced Amazon would save the expanse TV show at the space development conference in Los Angeles But also that his Blue Origin company wants to develop manufacturing on the moon That may take 100 years to get going but Bezos is not deterred He has a proposal for a NASA partnership with Blue Origin to develop a lunar lander capable of delivering five tons of Payload Blue Origin's first orbital rocket new Shepard is scheduled to fly sometime in the 2020s I'm a lot of light as usual with Amazon. I'm not sure how much heat Definitely Blue Origin is trying to get their name in the headlines the way SpaceX has SpaceX Granted has gotten their name in the headlines because of Elon Musk's pensions For hype but also because they've actually Reused rockets that went orbital Blue Origin has reused a rocket, but it was an orbital So it's it's it's time for Bezos I think to try to play that game a little bit and saying moon colony certainly lights up the headlines But what he's talking about is leading an effort to create a manufacturing base on the moon Which is something that's going to take decades to a hundred years that makes sense. I Love that we're living in the future. This sounds absurd. Okay, just hearing it sounds absurd, but it's happening So what and that's that's why that's why it works in the headlines because you want to hear this You want to hear like oh moon colonies finally? We've been you know dreaming about this since the 60s or before like Make it happen, but he's talking about Mining developments or manufacturing right saying let's take advantage of the ubiquitous sunlight The water that is trapped under the surface the raw material in the legolith there We'll obviously have to bring some materials up from earth, but he thinks it could still make sense And even be efficient to do manufacturing on the moon because of those natural advantages So what do we think is the over under on Blue Origin and NASA actually? Creating a partnership It is so uncertain what NASA is going to do from administration to administration because it's constantly being jerked from One side to the other It's hard to say. I have no idea now Bezos says that he'll go on doing this Even if he doesn't get NASA's support, so May happen anyway Meanwhile China's ambassador to the UN Xi Xiangzheng has invited all countries regardless of their size and level of development to Participate in the China Space Station scheduled to become operational in 2022 European Space Agency already has an agreement and has been sending astronauts to China for training International Space Station may cease operations as early as 2025 because the US wants to end NASA funding for it at least right now NASA has a proposal for a smaller Gateway orbital station nearer to the moon A lot of people are skeptical that that would take which would leave after 2025 China as the only orbital space station And anyone who takes them up on this would then be able to use that as the only research platform in space so this could be a huge shift in the focus of space research Right now the United States doesn't allow China to have access to the International Space Station It would be interesting to see if China would allow the US I doubt the US would ask but it would be interesting to see Well and our current political Landscape, I don't know the US and China seem to be making all sorts of trade deals Obviously what I'm referring to has nothing to do with space But it is unpredictable right on one day. It's trade war and the next day It's we have a deal so who knows right and anything seems like it's as good a bet as another It's just really hard to tell it's entirely uncertain Do you think I'm gonna like have security concerns about being in a Chinese space station if we're being watched that way Imagine the deals that would be pretty tight on this. Yeah, I I mean not not for being watched so much I mean if you're on any space station here, I mean the ISS they watch every minute you have just for safety reasons You don't just go there and kind of you know lounge go off the grid It's less about surveillance and more about sharing of technology like if you do research on the China space station It you know, are you going to have to keep it under wraps? So you're gonna have to share with China first or is it gonna be as open to everyone to use? I would hope that it would be open But it is cool to just you know take take the countries out of it the idea of having a new orbital platform that is open And encouraged for all Cities to build on that's the ethos the ethos of space that I support what an idea humans enjoying space together. Yeah Just what the ISS is supposed to be and and often is if not entirely So there's a paper published in annals of oncology which describes the results of an experiment using a neural network to spot Skin cancer is easy for me to say in this study 86.6% of skin cancers were identified from images by human dermatologists the neural network identified 95% you know the neural network also misdiagnosed fewer benign moles as malignant the tool would be used to aid dermatologists in diagnosis not replace doctor examinations So if you're worried about robots taking your job just relax for now Hey, man when it comes to cancer if the robot can do it better bring it on Yeah, one of the reasons I want to talk about this story is it's an advancement 18 months ago. I think we talked about on DTS another story about Improving on dermatologist ability to catch melanomas or skin cancers. This is an improvement on that It's getting even better, but the point of the story This is what I like to hammer home is not and therefore doctors won't be needed anymore doctors are still Entirely essential to spotting cancers because this was only saying if you give a doctor an image Only not a physical examination. How good are they doctors do get to do physical examination? So this is saying hey the computer is really good at telling you where to look and then the doctor has a better chance of catching Even more of them as a part of that examination because the AI is assisting not replacing and that just makes humans better I like that. Yeah, exactly I I believe in the last the last time we talked about something similar to this as you mentioned Even we quoted a couple of doctors who said this is great It it cuts down on the time that we're doing something that we're trying to do best We can but if if AI can do this for us we can actually be better doctors So this doesn't actually get anybody out of a job necessarily it makes doctors more efficient Live trivia apps are a hit worldwide. I used to play HQ every day. I no longer do but that's a story for another time It's not just HQ though India has something called loco. China has million dollar hero For example, Panyas Studios launched a live trivia show twice a day in Thailand in March With zero advertising the app has had more than a million downloads and reaches around 250,000 active weekly users It's also talking about expanding to other Southeast Asian countries Malaysia Taiwan Singapore Vietnam Indonesia and the Philippines Co-founder Jacob Peterson says he wants to expand to more than just trivia with other TV quality interactive shows Yeah, that's what fascinates me about this is all of these apps in their various regions have taken off sometimes as with this one without any kind of advertising and The the founders here they're two Norwegians and a tie who are the co-founders of Panya They're they're talking about the fact that they think they can create a new way of watching television Now Netflix has obviously disrupted Serialized television, but you always talk about live television a live stuff as being the province of the older broadcast networks They're still they're still got the domination on that. Well, this could be The chink in that armor it this could be the thing that moves And disrupts that by saying not only are we live, but we're interactive and granted this is reality show type stuff They talk in this article about a a singing competition like The Voice being something they could branch into But I could see this if that takes off then down the road moving into sports or news, etc Well, and that's something that companies like Twitter and Facebook and others have tried to do that hole We're watching something live together. Let's add another layer so people can interact with us with mixed results I'm still of the mind that I don't know a lot of these apps are super fun I loved HQ for a while the notifications started to bother me So I turn them off and then there's no use anymore because I just forget when it's on But really that you know the the deep down fun of it is not unlike Jeopardy, which has been around for 400 years So it also probably depends on the region that you're in certain countries. Maybe trivia is I don't know a bigger deal I don't I as what do you think, you know? It's one of those like flashbacks didn't Microsoft try this with the Xbox live But there's like one versus a hundred game and they try to have like you would show up to a game that you play against other people now This idea of appointment television or appointment trivia It's I think it's hot for now kind like who must be a millionaire that was awesome for a while And then you're like I'm sick of this it's usually like a cyclical thing How do you get people to be somewhere live together? You just got to be live I'll go you one better Microsoft did a live trivia show on tech TV Not too very well then the Xbox live That makes more sense we'll do it on Xbox live because then people have Xbox live This makes even more sense because hey smartphones everybody's got a smartphone not everybody has an Xbox So it makes more and more sense over time to me. I do jury's still out though You're right is this just a flash in the pan I mean Cassari your reaction is also the reaction I hear to people who watch reality television sometimes like oh I was really into it for a while, and then I kind of my my interest waned It it's it's it's not it's not the trivia Format it's not the live format. That's actually I thought that HQ's execution was really fun And I really did like it for a while I also think it's a novelty and again if you don't have time right at the precise moment Which many of us don't because we have busy lives you kind of fall off and he just ends up being something that I Did that for a while, but I know that Certainly an HQ's case, and I haven't tried any of the other apps obviously because they're international But still has a huge user base It got like 1.2 million for one particular stream one time like set a record Anyway, folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes or so subscribe to daily tech headlines at Daily tech headlines Now a program in London has been providing some street performers with card readers Like credit card readers using Sweden's payment firm. I zettle The program has been so successful as a test that it's now going to be expanded over the coming months to cover all registered Buskers as they call the street performers in London Former said they saw a significant rise in contributions as people tapped to donate and you US folks I've experienced this over the past couple of years most credit card transactions internationally or tap not not swipe not even chip So PayPal is in the process of acquiring I zettle Not sure that that really makes too much of a difference, but it is good news for PayPal. I guess if this is going to expand I'm more Fascinated with this idea that After all of our discussions about cash lists in previous episodes, one of the things was like what what about street performers? Somebody brought that up. Well, here you go. Apparently they've solved that part of the problem This is something I've been thinking about for a while. I haven't I don't know I've been to London London lately and I just now today learned that Buskers is a word that means something But if you think of a street performer or for whatever other reason somebody that you might encounter who's, you know asking for cash in order for Performance or some sort of entertainment or whatever I thought when cash really goes away and you know, I'm I'm Very pro band cash just for myself because I hate cash But what happens to all of these transactions that you know, it's kind of a goodwill thing or you know Somebody makes you happy and you know, there's change or you know have a little something in your wallet What happens because if nobody has cash anymore nobody's going to give you money and Can you still make whatever living you were making before? So this is really interesting I think tom you told me earlier today that Some of the payment though is set So you can't say I'll give you you know five cents. Yeah, well I imagine you could do it that way the is that a lap works like square or any of those others But to make it easy, right? So you don't have to sit there and interrupt the busker and say, uh, can can you can you set it to a $1.50 or a pound 20 They just Yeah, the picture on the bbc website showed Two pounds tap to donate so that you could just decide. Oh if I want to give this person two pounds boom I'll tap done right and that that was the end of it I keep looking at this and I'm thinking if is that'll does get enough penetration with this and enough people Buskers have this logo or something that looks familiar to people It would take some of the the fright away from it But the idea of like, oh, yeah, I'm going to tap my card and allow a credit card payment To some random person on the street who does have a busking license Because there's a difference between a busker and a street performer The busker has a license and they have to actually they have to be authorized to be in that space I found this out through either netflix and or the mta because around the subway section like the subway stations They're everywhere But if you don't have a license and you can't show it to a cop they move you along so if there's a standard and it's Highly visible and it's got some security behind it and goodwill maybe it would work But I think that first couple of hurdles It might be like the first days of e-commerce of like put my credit card number on the internet That's crazy But we'll see how that goes over time But the PayPal behind it that might help as well Apparently the test showed that that didn't end up being a problem that that Buskers were making more Because someone would come up and like all right, sure I'll I'll tap maybe I'll tap my phone that way I can be sure that it's just the amount Right and as soon as one person did it it caused other people to kind of step up and go Oh, well, it seems like work for that person. All right, I'll do it too See you need a busker and a buddy who's like, oh, this guy sounds great. Let's me go over and tap Look at that. That's no problem. You should do it too. I'm sorry, sir. Go ahead No, no, it's fine. I I I want to know sort of, you know, like what kind of sign do you let folks know, you know, as they're Passing you on the subway. This is the way that you pay me. Thank you in advance You know, like what replaces the hat? Well, it's a chalkboard in this one I don't know if this is going to be the standard, but it looks like a little chalkboard that's set up It right next to the open suitcase that you throw your change in And it says tap to donate two pounds backed by iZeddle and Buskin London Well, I mean a part of me is like, ah modern world, you know, it ruins everything, you know But at the same time, you know, as I as mentioned, especially in the New York the New York subway Probably more than anywhere else you encounter these really talented people, you know playing violin or whatever Whatever it is they're doing and Hey, you know, we all got a Evolve and if people don't have cash anymore, I still want to support these folks Yeah, no, I absolutely uh, and I I I have a different perspective on this than I would have two weeks ago because I just spent two weeks in Australia And I used cash once One time I bought a bratwurst in the Victoria market in Melbourne And that place didn't take credit cards And I was Shocked and stunned and I had to scramble and borrow money from my sister because I didn't have enough cash on me but even in borough midi gong And and the the small towns but borough only has like 13 000 people All the places all the places not only took credit cards, but they did tap which meant I could use my phone I would just walk up and and they'd be even a little surprised. I'm like, oh, can I use my phone? Oh, yeah. No, that's easier. Right. There was one place in borough where my phone tap didn't work They said they took it, but it didn't happen Well, I just pulled out my chip credit card and that worked fine In fact, tapping was easier because as a us person every time I did the credit card They'd have to be oh, I guess we need a signature. That's weird. Okay. Here you go sign this piece of paper I don't know but if I did the tap it was all good like everything was fine So this fits into that society if you're in that kind of society Which by the way, peter wells and rajd youth they've been telling us and so of uk guys like who actually uses cash anymore Like you just tap for everything. I experience that it's it's real like Little places like little vendors in markets People on the street food trucks. They all took tap to payment It was weird to get back to the us and go to the drugstore and go. Oh, right. CVS doesn't take apple pay. That's weird right I remember a few years ago. I think it was 2015 Anyway, you know recently I went to iceland and it was the first time that I had forgotten to get money and you know Do a whole conversion thing and I never needed it and I was there for a week And I remember being like wow. I actually don't need local currency iceland is, you know Pretty evolved in the sense, but you see that more and more. It's really interesting I did pull out some cash and so I used it on a cab Where I didn't have to I could have paid with tap. It was fine And then of course when I get back to la I didn't have any American cash left Because I didn't have any Australian cash to even exchange and the cab driver was a little missed that I was like Can I pay by credit card? He's like, you don't have cash So I get the difference in perspective. Some things are global, aren't they? That's my point in australia when I said can I tap they're like, yeah, sure Everybody when you got back to the states when I got back to la is when the guy was like what you don't have cash All right I probably have taken out money out of the atm maybe once every Two three months just to have money in my wallet just in case I run to this the scenario But I'm more and more excited when I got a notification from google pay They're like your local supermarket takes google pay and even though this is a nice little area where I'm in in new york It's a really old school supermarket and I was shocked that you used to have to pay. I was so excited Yeah, so that 20 bucks didn't sit in my wallet for way too long now So I mean, I'm don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's the death of cash. I don't think cash is going away I'm not bringing that we're not bringing that element back But tapping buskers that that just seems natural to me after two weeks of never using cash 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 In our facebook group facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show We still get the emails right here, sarah. We sure do one comes from our patron andrew. Thank you in advance Andrew says last week you were talking about google taking the top spot in the smart speaker market. This was q1 2018 which it it Uh succeeded echo for the first time Andrew says there might be something going on here. Maybe some inflated numbers on google side For example, I recently bought a bunch of nest products for a new house And I was given five free google home minis They might be giving more away as free promos and using them for their overall numbers That is usually when somebody brings up. Well, that's shipped. How many did they sell? I'm like Sold and shipped usually end up being about the same but oh malik brought up the same thing on twitter And ohm is a very thoughtful guy So I think there might be something too it because they have been giving away so many They remember we talked about all these google doughnut stores where you could get doughnuts or win a home mini It might be enough to at least cause a couple of percentage point difference there I'm not sure how much but you you have to give a lot of them a way to really move the needle I still although five google home minis. I mean one great. I know, but you know, it's kind of a big number Absolutely We also got an email from ted who said more roger chang more roger chang more roger chang in all caps three times Yeah He said a detain us crew like many people I thought roger chang was just a producer and his curmudgeonly demeanor seemed to indicate that he liked it that way This is just a note that i've been enjoying roger's thoughts while tom has been away And we'll be happy to get to hear more from him as part of the regular show Chang we can believe in ted I think that should be a detain us shirt Chang we can believe in a picture of roger. Yeah, you know roger veto me if you don't like the idea I would I would too Roger when it was See, this is the problem ted when I was gone you heard more from roger probably more even in the pre and post show That during the show you just piped in and then then went right away roger ted wants more of you But that's what I do Ted is not satisfied with that roger Roger you can't you're all wrong caches wait till tom goes on vacation to to spit the knowledge that the people want I I will I will interject that there are moments in my life where I use cash because I'm in a part of town I don't want to be known that I was in oh roger's In melbourne you can tap for that stuff I mean hey my favorite cheeseburger placed on the street casually so this is so the title will be tap that melbour No, I that probably means something in slang somewhere that we don't That we don't want you there you go ted chang you can believe in No, no, I'm sorry tom come on practice. I'm sorry Ted and andrew thanks for the feedback.

I think it was around five at the time turns me because dad. Do we live in australia? I go no he goes. Oh good Well roger said something about that before tom went on vacation and I was like what deadly animals I've never heard this about australia. Oh really? Yeah koalas kangaroos You're not watching this Cuddly You start writing deadly animals of google auto fells into australia You know what as someone who lives in an area of of the u.s. Where there's plenty of coyotes and mountain lions and Oversized raccoons. It's not like this country is free of dangerous fauna Right. I'm like what could australia have that we don't have here Oh, they have a lot the outback is a uh Is a chain restaurant That too and I see how back will kill you either the outback in australia Well dingos dingos kill babies Forgot about those that that was a very tragic story and people in australia are sad that that has become a meme Because it's still considered a traumatic. Well, you know the coyote coyotes Yeah, you know same thing particularly in the outskirts of la Kangaroos are not nice They can punch you during the uh mating season. They get the males can get quite punchy literally Yeah They're the wombats are big Yeah, but but wombats aren't dangerous other than I saw I saw these birds That was really the only wildlife I saw apparently there were a bunch of kangaroos off in the field when I was driving my sister And her husband to the church for the wedding but I was so intent on not driving on the right side of the road that I missed them I was uh educating the show last week on the bin chickens the dirty ibises Oh, yeah, I did see a bunch of those in sydney I I I was I was listening to that I think that was friday's show maybe because I think I was already back in the us All right, they're everywhere and they they definitely stick their long little beaks into trash a lot It was evolved to fish and now it's evolved to fish garbage Especially when they get fish out of the garbage All right, what do we got there's tapping buskers Chang we can believe in in space no one can ask for taxes What is one I like? Well, I'm sure they'll figure out a way to ask for taxes. Oh, they will yeah Nowhere stays safe for long busking for bitcoin, but bitcoin wasn't really yeah, there was no bitcoin Buskers were no longer here. I'm all tapped out Uh, that's pretty funny It's more like tapped in Well, no, it's like when you someone, you know like when they ask you a can you you want to want to you know Put something in the pie and say I'm sorry. I'm all tapped out. Oh, I see what you're saying Tapping buskers is pretty good Tapping buskers Okay, we'll go with that tapping buskers Hooray So tom, I know you were uh at your nephew's wedding.

I consider like, you know a handful of people We had 150 at ours Most of them eileen's family I think the biggest wedding I ever went to it was uh a midwestern kind of chicago area And it was I think the total was like 350 people Wow And yeah, it was family and friends and one of those weddings where it's like all your mother's friends get invited and then they You know, whatever and I remember just being like if I if this was my wedding You would have no FaceTime with anybody And everybody seemed to have a great time, but it was huge Very overwhelming. I'm gonna say there were 70 or 80 people there. Yeah And there were three four five six seven 10 11 12 americans 13 So wait, so did you did your nephew have any friends from the australian side or no He did he had one of his groomsmen was a guy. He's in grad school with for archaeology Who's who's australian? I had a couple other australian friends It there and and kate his his wife has friends obviously from australia And then he had two groomsmen and one friend from america who came over with their girlfriends. So there were six americans right there You have I people Then me my brother-in-law my sister eileen Ben's grandma and our family friend I think that was it all the us people It sounds fun Yeah Also, I forgot I had cannibalized the power cord from the ipad Uh before vacation to take with me on the trip And I didn't bring it back down and the ipad almost died in the middle of the show. I'm glad I made it I Just got the uh, I got like with seven minutes left in the show I got the battery at 10% warning and like oh And I just got the 5% warning. So there you go Those are those moments where before the show you were like, eh, maybe we need like a couple more minutes to just Make sure like nothing broke while I was gone, but you just can't always can't catch everything Predict at all. Yeah, I don't like pokemon. You can't catch all you can't catch them all I as alphabet city sounds like a fun show it's really um sarcastic and fast and dumb so basically like It's pure me And I'm loving that let me let me do this because it's they're gonna fail Spectacularly because it's me or it's gonna do really well because it's me But otherwise we'll see how it goes. It's just really sarcastic and stupid and some of the jokes are Grown-worthy. It's not stupid. Oh You get the you get the the vital information you need on the show But you might actually laugh Which is weird because when I was practicing the script in front of a couple people as they were setting up the studio They're actually laughing at the jokes and I'm like, that's weird That usually doesn't happen. So it might actually laughing with At it doesn't matter. Just keep laughing. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. So yeah There's a lot of uh humor in the show and it's not like intended to be comedic in general but it's a very informative and witty and uh, lots of me there and our cheap cheap cheap cardboard set Which is phenomenal. I will say Well, I'm excited to check it out. Um, the nice thing about alphabet is there are a lot of things to talk about Yeah, and that's the other thing to cram it into like five minutes is Um It's a little strange I think I probably could easily go seven to ten minutes on every episode because there's always something else like Verlied has a smart diaper. Who's verily you wonder like it's alphabet owns verily, which is the health one Is that right? That used to be google life sciences. They also have another one for health I they just have so many different ones off the top of my head. I can't remember all of them I think jigsaw was trying to stop some kind of voter fraud stuff and X they actually contacted me directly. They're like, hey If you want to know anything about project loon or our energy kites. I'm like energy kites Energy kites. Like yes, tell me more. They are literally these giant freaking like they look like biplanes with a bunch of Wind turbines. They just put them up in the air and they harvest the wind They harvest the wind. It's it's nuts what they're doing over there. So Ooh, that sounds like a sci-fi series harvest the wind herb. No, uh, win A book title Well, I'm in a deep depression now that killing eve season one is over And oh really that good, huh? And the season finale of handmade stale. I think that's not as well I've got a lot of handmade stale spoilers, but you know At least expense continues so I can pay for another season Maybe you could cheer up tomorrow with like new kimmy schmitt or something because handmade stale I tried to watch that and I was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm really sad right now We're behind on handmade stale because of the vacation and it's going to take a long time for us to catch up Because you can't watch we can't watch more than one of those in a row. I can't even watch it. It's so depressing It's funny A friend of mine who was all caught up because I was behind too She was like, let's talk about the finale and I was like, I'm like three behind I don't know sometimes I'm just not in the mood for all that But it's a really good show Yeah, I think my semi-depressing awful show or great show is westworld like that. I'm obsessed with And it can get pretty dark and yeah, but I still find the fun in the game of it because you can always find more information online about it So I guess maybe watch that we watched one episode on vacation We were that that was the I think that was the only show we actually made an effort to watch while we were That might be my jury's slot for now. Maybe I can move over to handmade stale eventually. I tried really tried It's yeah, it's It's uh, it is what it is. All right. Yeah, if you don't want to be in that sort of Really bad dystopian mood Not the show for you and the rest of development season five I'm gonna run and get my cable is up right now Eight episodes. I don't know if it's two parts this season or not Can't remember I actually haven't watched it since it got uh rebooted Oh No, but here's the other thing they really they released a recut version of season four On netflix because the season four that they originally released was focused on a character at a time So basically you followed like michael the whole time we followed george michael the whole time And the story's kind of overlapped you put it together yourself essentially Then netflix It's put out a remix version entirely which is much more like a regular season And the story really I didn't know that yeah, so that happened earlier this month before they announced that season five Was coming out this month. It's kind of like a placeholder kind of thing. They call it I forget what they call the remix. It's something silly, but it was It's a little bit grading at times I will say I don't know if it's because the humor has an age well Or the fact that for season four They couldn't get everybody in the same like studio at the same time or the same lot because you can tell like Oh, it's a body double from the back Or you could tell that they're this person's in with a green screen. You're like, oh, that's a little weird But still, you know still the same kind of humor Yeah, I think I I think I heard enough diehard fans being Mixed on the new season, which was what I don't know two years ago when that aired Uh, I don't know if it looks for the first time. So I was like, yeah, but um I'll run out of shows eventually. I'll get to it Well, you can't do that with HBO. They have like something new like every couple of weeks And then they have something called succession. Do you see that trailer for that? It's kind of like sort of fake fox empire. Yeah, it looks really fun. I think Maybe that'll be my new depressing show When did this come out? Have you watched riverdale? I try to watch it personally. I haven't but The exterior shots are actually filmed in sabastable, california at by old high school. Oh, no, kid Yeah, a little tribute for everybody, but I haven't seen it's an I don't know Is it a murder thing mystery? Yeah. Well, it's got continuing mysteries So they'll they'll be there starts with a murder, but that then it moves and there's another mystery And there's just a lot of seedy underbelly to river. Yeah, it's not as dark as I expected Eileen was is home sick and she was sick yesterday binging on it. So I've been catching it kind of you know, biosmosis And it's it's well done. It's greg berlanti. He's the guy does all the cw superhero movies or tv shows too Do you find that it's geared towards a younger audience or is that just it's set in a high school and that's just part of it it's Mostly just set in I mean there are parts of it that are definitely geared towards a younger audience But it is trying to not be exclusionary. It's it's definitely you don't feel like I'm just watching such a teen drama. Like it is right. Yeah, it is more sophisticated than that I actually started watching uh, dear white people don't know if anybody's seen that on netflix Yeah, netflix I missed the whole first season and I just jumped in at season two like give this a try So, you know, I'd probably have some catching up to do and it was it's one of those shows where I'm like There are certain kind of millennial and younger things going on here where I realize I'm not totally the target audience But I think it's really good It's a clever show. I'm impressed with how complex They handle the issues. Yeah Like they don't shy they don't over it would it would be forgivable for them to oversimplify The complexity of racial issues and they don't they actually they actually do a really good job of like Making sure that nothing is simple. There's not like a simple answer to everything because there isn't really I'm I was impressed by that show quite a bit. Yeah. Yeah. I me too. I have you seen all the season two Yeah, yeah, I'm done the argument between the two main characters in the radio when he's trying to interview her in the radio studio Just blew me away. Yeah. Yeah You have these these scenes where you're like, this is Really, you know some deep stuff and they kind of do some style stuff. That's Her, you know, production people is I found Pretty cool Anyway, Peter Wells for the hat, by the way, the Sydney swans afl hat Who are the swans biggest rival?
