 Like I'm Mr. Like I just throw it on the counter, but we actually have a bamboo cutting board with like plastic overlays Doesn't get into the wood as much and Bamboo is great. Yeah, it's very resilient. Maybe we get wet all the time Tom maybe you can convince Rod to make you one of his cutting boards I still to this day know the guy 45 years and I still can't get on to make me one of those cutting boards But he makes an awesome cutting board. Who's he make him for? He's made one for you. He will not make me. I don't know why I just like whenever he's like man It's a lot of work, and I was like, yeah It was a lot of work when you made it for the other person, too I would assume it gets all the different woods as I was like multicolor and he's sitting it down and mitering it What kind of wood does he use? He gets like the expenses like he gets like little pieces little strips of like the Expensive for it. So you have to talk to him about it because You know and it's it's like a sense of wood You know stuff that like he has to go to like a special dealer to get and then puts it all together Because it's like extinct. Yeah There's only two tons of this wood left. This is his dinosaur cut right here. Yeah, right? They look awesome, man. He does a great job. He will not make me a cutting board I don't know what it is. He just refused to make me one. I guess After all of our talk yesterday about food well and every day really but yesterday specifically I decided, okay I'm gonna have a nice big lunch today before the show. Yes, so that I don't think about food for the next two hours I always I always eat before the show. It doesn't stop me. I always end up talking about food anyway Yeah, mixed results. I mean I feel I had a wonderful lunch But I'm also there's a little bit of that food comma that you have to battle Oh, yeah, watch that if you do it too close to a Kenny too heavy Yeah, yeah, it wasn't heavy food. It was mostly greens really, but I just had a lot of it Well, should we break for daily tech news show then? Let's do that. All right All right Roger are you? Yes, we have an accord. All right. Good Accord here we go a Perva Gokal has supported independent tech news directly for five years be like a perva become a DTNS member at patreon.com DTNS This is the Daily Tech news for April 19th 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline. I'm Sarah Lane and from Washington DC your boy, mr. Big Chris Ashley and I'm the shows produce and producer Yes, yes indeed you are good to have Chris host of the SMR podcast back with us again Chris How you been man been great still grinding on the diet kick still working out still talk of tech still loving life So I was gonna say you are big Chris Ashley as in muscle and personality But you are not the big Chris Ashley that the wind can't blow down the streets of Canada anymore. I Wish I was you know, it was a weird little thing that happened And so yeah, it was it really caught me off guard Yeah, what happened. I was in Canada and there was a gush of wind that came It was a very windy day and I actually had to take a step backwards and it really just kind of made me oh Because you were light enough to be Never happened in my entire welcome to the way that some of us live I'm on the other half now Chris has been thinking a lot about the earbuds especially with the surface buds coming out And of course as we know Sarah has been talking or been testing the Jabra's for our live with it project So we're gonna talk a little bit about earbuds in a bit, but let's start with a few tech things you should know Sources till nine to five Mac that Mac OS 10 point one five may include support for series shortcuts Which allows users to create custom voice shortcuts for app actions currently in iOS only screen time would report Gathered data about how much time is being spent in apps with parental controls available to limit certain apps uses There may also be a new Apple ID Management functionality to system preferences with better family sharing support similar to what's currently available in the iOS settings app Mozilla is taking project things its implementation of the W3C standard web of things out of the experimental stage Adding new logging alarm and networking features along with the new name Mozilla web things Web things gateway will be a privacy and security focused piece of software distribution for smart home gateways and web things Framework is a library of reusable software components. It's meant for commercial projects So Mozilla hopes the manufacturers pick this up put it in their devices And then Mozilla can become a trusted agent for users of smart home devices who may or may not trust the other service providers or manufacturers Little bit of journalism snarkiness going on with a galaxy fold the title of Joanna Stern's article on the Samsung Galaxy fold for the Wall Street Journal is Samsung Galaxy fold non-review. We are not your beta testers The luxe $2,000 folding screen phone could be destroyed simply by removing a clear plastic sticker Yep, that's actually the title and Dieter bones review from the verge has actually been changed It is now titled Samsung Galaxy fold review broken dream. The future is still very fragile so we've talked a lot about this this week and Gonna go ahead and let Joanna and Dieter speak for the rest of us because I haven't seen one yet But they seem fragile indeed But that says it all right It's pretty hilarious. All right, let's talk a little bit more about blackberry Let's do it mTech announced that it will end service for blackberry messenger for consumers as of May 31st 2019 Following the announcement blackberry announced that it was making the end-to-end encrypted messaging platform BBM enterprise aka BBM BBM BBM One of those two available to individuals immediately on the Google Play storm and coming soon to iOS as well BBM E will be free for users for the first year and then cost $2.49 every six months after that Pretty affordable and tech initially partnered with blackberry to expand the BBM consumer business back in 2016 You know blackberry said we think security and enterprise is probably where we can succeed But we'll keep trying a bunch of things. Well, they did they tried this one. It didn't work Blackberry messenger for consumers by M tech was was kind of bloated there. There was a lot of adware and stuff in there So I'm not surprised, but I'm glad that blackberry is going to make BBM E available for everyone I mean, I don't know Chris. You've got your own message solutions. I know does this appeal to you in any way You know, I'm I'm always, you know happy for the little guy to continue doing their thing And it's kind of weird calling blackberry anything. Yeah, right little guy, right, but yeah No, because I imagine the only thing that you're gonna get out of an enterprise version of blackberry messenger is the encryption And what's that has that already? You know and then so, you know, why am I gonna pay $249 for this? Yeah, unless unless your company is using a whole enterprise suite from blackberry and it's part of it I guess that yeah, that might be a reason I could think of but yeah, that won't last long because office 365 is eating everybody's lunch Yeah, and they really need to stop that that was my lunch Authorities in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong have given approval to 10 cent to begin selling the Nintendo switch console with a test version of Super Mario Brothers in there Sources tell Reuters that approval in Guangdong where 10 cent is registered opens the door to sell the console nationwide So it won't be just in a limited area in China If you didn't realize the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has oversight over video game hardware That's why they needed that ministry's approval to sell it However video games themselves need to be approved by China's state administration of press and publication Although test versions of games don't need licenses as long as they're given away for free. That's why they can bundle in Super Mario Brothers but man There is a backlog because they put a pause on approving new video games last year and 10 cent is actually one of the companies It's hurting from this because they've started approving them again, but there's a huge backlog So bringing a new game to market in China right now is problematic because they're still approving games from last summer I can't believe that we're still talking about Anything that's like it's news when China allows something in After all these years as as a business savvy as the Chinese government seems to be You would think that they would like, you know what this stuff makes money for folks So let's let it in let's figure out ways to make money off of it And you know and it's almost as if like they're creating this line You know just to create the line so that it still you know seems kind of the unicorn thing Oh, we're letting you in it just doesn't make any sense to have this much resistance to stuff like this I'm also interested how you know, okay So the Nintendo switch pardon me being available in the country for anybody who's I don't know it in China or knows a lot about You know what what folks are are clamoring for is this going to be a big seller once it does become available And you can just go to a store and buy it. Yeah, I think it might be Mobile does very well in China and Nintendo games Through Tencent and others have been very popular in China. So the intellectual property is going to give them an advantage there and the fact that mobile gaming is is Kind of the first gaming in China is a very mobile first culture. I think the switch kind of appeals that way To your point Chris There were hundreds of other pieces of hardware that were approved in the same list with the Nintendo switch So it's it's not like they don't approve things, but it it does make them lag behind I I'm curious I don't know if we have any listeners in China because I don't think they can directly access the website through the through there But if someone knows and is on the ground in China, maybe we all ask Eric Olander Whether they feel they're missing out or whether they feel like yeah You know, it's kind of an interesting cool thing from overseas But we've got our own stuff here and because you kind of end up having your own versions of things in China It's interesting because the Chinese government finally lifted the ban on video game consoles back in 2015 And so up until that point between 2000. I think is when they 2000 when they kind of implemented the initial ban on consoles now I was talking about earlier just in case people got used he's talking about a hardware ban that was lifted in 2015 So a lot of the gaming culture came up through PCs and mobile So it would be interesting to see if they can generate that culture of oh this device is what I play games on now Instead of just you know pulling out your phone or going to your PC Which has been the case for a much longer period of time and if they can kind of you know turn that around so to speak Android police spotted a test showing up in the Android version of Netflix at least for some users Which includes a new row called play a popular episode which lists shows like new girl Our planet were the office with a play button and a shuffle icon the play controls for an episode of such shows offers a Random episode options as well next to audio and subtitles now before the show. I was like I don't want this and Tom You were like I do I mean I do I got more excited about this before I read the details Netflix experimenting with random episodes. I'm like this is great Can I just push a button and it takes what it knows about me and throws up an episode of a TV show that A it thinks I will like and B is like from an anthology like Planet Earth or something like new girl where yeah There's a story arc, but it's not that important or maybe it knows. I've already watched it So it's okay to just throw up a popular episode. I want that lean back experience some time I want to just turn on the TV and see what's on that's not what they're doing here here You still have to make a choice you have to choose the show and then it'll show you a random episode of that particular show I don't know So this isn't as appealing as I thought it would be and so how you laid it out would have been Acceptable, you know, but just you know pick a show and watch a random out No way because I can think of a show like the OA did I watch it on Netflix that if I you know got into like You know the middle episode it had just destroyed the whole build-up from You know and so yeah, so I get it So it would have to have some caveats as to what type of shows like a like a new girl or something like that Funny, you know, there's no build-up between the episodes. You can just watch in like oh, that was funny Let me go check out the rest. It's interesting. This came up because just yesterday. There's the there's that series on Netflix love robots and Death or something of death and robots. Yeah, love death and robots understand theology series I didn't think much of it was popped up. It wasn't tell my daughter was going through and she clicked on the YouTube clip of that It's okay. That's really interesting. I want I actually went back to Netflix to watch like for up for different episodes And I would've never seen it if I didn't get a taste of it first And I think this would be kind of geared for people like me who are a little overwhelmed by the choices But don't necessarily have enough time to kind of sit there and decide and delve into like oh Let's see what this shows about. Do you have previews turned off or something? I do but those previews don't necessarily explained like especially for an anthology series like Love death robots or whatever the title is. I don't get a sense I've seen that but I don't get a sense of it and it's in that same way So you're saying the YouTube clip was more effective than Netflix's own Yes, I literally watched a 60-second clip on YouTube and it got me interested more in the series than their little pre-pre-preview rule Well, and then there are people like me who I am also crippled by choice But I'm just like I'll pay for YouTube TV even though the price just went up because sometimes I just want to put on the National Geographic channel and just show me what you're gonna show me Sitting here already the equivalent of that. I'm feeling lucky button for Netflix. Yeah. Yeah Well, and I think that that's what we're going for here It's not exactly that but that's it's that kind of like yeah put on the radio and just you know Have somebody curate, you know your choices for you type thing so with the office for instance I've seen them all I could see me being in the mood like I want to watch an office But I don't know which one and this is handy for that use case like go Yeah, yeah, I don't know how often that's gonna come up though Facebook AI research has created two deep learning networks that can create a controllable video game model based on five to eight minutes of Video of an actual human being one of the networks maps a pose and a control signal To the next pose so that you know where I am and where I'm going and the other network maps that current pose The new pose that it's going to turn into and the given background so it can then render that action Inside of something else with with having the shadows and everything And not worrying about the background together the model of the real person can respond to arbitrary User-defined signals now if you're not quite following me Basically, what I'm saying is they can take a video of you and create a video game version of you That you can then control with your controller in a video game They show the result and it's not perfectly smooth They have a tennis player where they show him playing tennis and they capture him And then they're able to take him and put him in like a video game version of tennis or even in another video of someone else Playing tennis and control him and it's a little jaggy. It's not perfectly smooth, but it works So this is pretty cool I've always been a big fan of like even back in the day when EA had Tiger Woods golf and you could Upload your picture your face through their website and then add it to the game and you know I was like to see him the voice was terrible, but I did I did like kind of seeing a resemblance of my face on my golfer And then I did make him nice and chubby, too Just to represent me all the way but yeah, so I kind of like it You know, you know, I would love to see more games be able to support that type of thing like you know, I just started up the division too and Obviously the first thing you got to do is you got to build your character out and you know Put all the the hairstyles and all that stuff on it So, you know being able to do something like this like here Let me move around for five minutes. Okay, put me in the game and I'm rumbling and tumbling and you know Taking back Washington DC. I'm you know, I'm definitely down with us Yeah, my initial reaction was like, oh cool So I could be in the basketball game as myself playing against Chris type thing dunking on him even but but it's like at the same time It's like the fun of building your character building your avatar and making it however you want is We're all very used to that as well. I I don't know how much I really want to play as myself all the time But again, haven't done it yet Yeah, so yeah, it definitely depends on the game, but most of the games I play I would love to use this for sure The other thing it might be useful for is virtual reality So you could you could not only be yourself in the game You could be yourself in virtual reality, which could be used for games But also just for avatars for for virtual presence and Meetings and concerts and chat and all of those kinds of things. Yeah meetings would be kind of interesting I know one of the things we're doing a lot more is when we have these broad meetings with customers We're actually starting to leverage the cameras more so that we can you know, just make it more personal and in Iraq So, you know, it'd be kind of cool to be like everybody going to the virtual meeting room. Yeah. Yeah, and sit down You can see everybody's there See when they're looking at their phone instead of paying attention Anything that makes a meeting more fun, I'm down for that. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. And you know, we don't have to put a big bow on it But it was nice to have a story even tangentially related to Facebook It's their research arm that wasn't about a privacy violation. So that's all right The USDA has launched a two-year pilot program to let individuals on the supplemental nutrition assistance program Also known as snap shop for groceries online The pilot will initially roll out in New York State and snap benefits can be used at Walmart Amazon although no prime membership is required for this and soon shop right as well The pilot will eventually expand to Alabama, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey Oregon and Washington with more retails expected to join down the road. I love this This is well, if folks are unfamiliar Maybe they're not from the US or they haven't heard of snap. It's it's like what food stamps used to be It's that's the program that has grown out of that and so it allows folks to get their their food and Snap cards being taken has been a big deal as snap cards were rolled out So the idea of it being available online kind of proves to me that we we have permeated society with the internet such that it's important to give people this option so that they have the full range of Shopping options because some of the cheapest stuff they can find might be available online. Yeah, which is I mean Anybody who shops online enough knows that that's usually the case Yeah, I love it for a different reason and I love it for the fact that you know There's still a stigma attached to folks that need to use these programs And so, you know, why put them, you know under that, you know, this the false shame You need you know, some folks need help and so being able to just order from home Have the food delivered and not have to go out in the public and then have somebody rolling their eyes at you or Giving you a dirty look because you're using your ebt card to pay for food. I just love this You know just just from that perspective alone. Yeah I mean the cards kind of helped in that because the food when you had stamps It was real obvious when someone was paying with stamps. Yeah Yeah, if you're not paying full attention, you might just think somebody had a credit card or something But sometimes you have to ask like how do you take this and right? Yeah, there's a lot more like, you know, nobody has to know even the delivery person doesn't have to know It's just between me and that online form. That's a good really good point and just the convene the convenience of having things delivered to your Hi, it's there certain situations where I mean it is the difference between Me kind of you know pressing a button and getting the food the next day Let's say and having to go somewhere and it's a hassle and you know the the stigma aside. It just it it it takes out some Just busy work about this whole thing that If some of us don't have to deal with it, especially if you have kids Yeah, like it would streamlines a lot of a lot of the work Especially for folks that can't it's it's difficult to get to these locations. Anyway, they don't have a car They don't have transportation. So yeah, I love this. I'm really I'm really happy about this one I mean, I granted some people may not have internet access or not easy internet access or may not even have a mailing address That the need to use this or at least a mailing address that could handle packages You know or that they would feel safe getting packages delivered, but it's better to have more Options than not have them so even if some people won't be able to take advantage of it some people will and I think that's good Hey, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com now we talked about I think back on Monday the the Brad Sam's report at the rot calm that Microsoft is Probably developing a pair of wireless earbuds code name Morrison We don't know anything else about them other than there's this weird thing about how they might improve your ability to read somehow And we're still waiting to find out some interesting Details on that from Microsoft, but Chris. I know this caught your your ear so to speak Because we're seeing a big change in headphones these days. Yeah, so, you know, one of the things that I'm a headphone Nerd to some extent or junkie. I said not a nerd because I don't know and all the ins and outs But I love headphones. I always get them, you know, especially even over the last two years trying to figure out What's once you can work out better with what's when you could travel better with which ones, you know Are just good for casual, you know, which can cover all all of those points and So yeah, so when you're looking at the different innovations They've had they put the the strap behind the neck for the sports athlete But that sucks when you're trying to bench press because you lay on your head and it starts to move your headphones Over the ear is great, but it lets in too much sound. So, you know on the planes It's a bit noisy around the ear is great, but I sweat a lot. So it catches the you know, a lot of the sweat Yeah, so, you know, it pulls up like that. That's not good, right? But on the plane, it's awesome because I don't you know, especially if I'm sitting next to the you know close to the Engines or you know, just crying baby, you know, love the babies, but I don't necessarily need to hear it for the next three hours So, you know, so all of these different things. So, you know, the in-ear Was probably to me one of the biggest innovations they've had Throughout the headset lifecycle So I'm really excited to see if Microsoft can do anything more innovative With the headphones because one of the things they did with their surface headphones I bought those because I lost mine over the ear ones, right? Yeah, they're over the ear They're you know, one of the expensive one they have noise cancellation But the one thing they did which really it's so simple But it just blew my mind was the fact that they put the controls on both ears So, you know play pause is the same You know whether you tap the right side or you tap the left side tap once, you know double tap triple tap for rewind Same on both ears because you never know when you got the backpack in one hand And you're trying to do something else on the other hand Or you got to wait in one hand and you're trying to do something else on the other hand I and what they did with the volume control is they took the outside of the ear cup and you it's a dial So there you can dial up or down if you want to adjust the volume and you know I don't adjust the volume that often when I'm using my headphones I usually set it and good to go and in the other side is a dial to adjust the level of the noise Cancelation so you can let in more sound if you need to have a conversation or less sound when you're ready to go Do something so that that just that little bit alone really to me took the headphone to the next level So I'm quite excited to see you know if they do if they can pull off anything with these earbuds because you know earbuds are still relatively new What kind of things would you want to see from earbuds in general whether it's microsoft earbuds Or anybody else coming out with new wireless earbuds what what what's what some of the stuff you want them to innovate with Well, I'd like to see a bit longer battery life for sure. I definitely would like to see Some type of new connectivity and this is for all headphones in general just yeah, I'm sick of bluetooth It's so flaky And I've talked about this before I'm so annoyed with bluetooth. It's the worst So some type of new connectivity maybe to use the same technology to use for the controllers Um, I don't know but uh, definitely see that but beyond that, you know, why not get into full You know like streaming music server support on the on the head bud on the on the earbuds So I can get log into my spotify on my earbuds and I don't need to take my phone anymore I don't need to add it to my watch it can just do it on my headphones So how would that work would it would it like recognize your ear shape or did you just say a password? Well, I think you would use a web interface and then you know and then it because you know These things are talking to you now at least you know, they're giving you the voice recognition So I would think that you could You know, you would set it up through a web interface through your phone And then you know, you could then just use voice commands to it and just okay I mean, that's not too far off from having Amazon voice service or google assistant or seri built in which some of these do now. Yeah Yeah, I mean we're close, you know, it's there, you know, the You know with the assistant support to the phone But uh, you know just and it wouldn't have to be as in depth of what you're doing on the phone But you know and maybe even just full on LTE device support. I don't need a phone. I'm going full Communicator mode and yeah I see where you're going with this so you would you might have to set it up once Connected to some other device but after that it would have its own connectivity Right, I would know it was you you maybe maybe there's some security that you could put with the way you tap or a password You say or something Yeah, but but if your phone's not around you still get your music your podcast whatever Yep, because uh Like with bluetooth again, like I'll go for a walk this morning And I got my headphones on and I put my phone in my pocket But as I'm walking I'm trying to ramp up the pace my phone is bouncing and then all of a sudden the bluetooth starts cutting out Yeah, I mean that's not a problem Uh, you know, if I just had it right on my on my Right in the earphones, you know what I mean? And uh, you know, and I know some people get those little wrist wraps or the armbands and uh, put their phones in there I got guns. They don't fit me very well Yeah, and my it's like like I'm not strapping a huge phone to my like that's just not gonna It's just not it's just not it doesn't work. It's not comfortable. Yeah, I have my Yeah, I have the same issue where I have to bring a little satchel of some kind Which isn't the end of the world, but if I'm jogging it can be annoying It's annoying, right and it just we're talking about convenience at this point, you know I'm not talking about anything that's needed But I was just like man, what else could we do with these headphones? That would be super cool beyond where we're at today Well, you know, I and we we've talked about the fact that I'm I'm testing out the Jabra 65 to the elite 65 t's which is uh are are yes same same Of the of the earbuds themselves The bluetooth leaves a lot to be desired And you know, it'll be fine for like a good month or two and then yesterday I had like it was there was like a meltdown. I was even on like Jabra's support page like what's going on I don't know. It was just some bluetooth thing wasn't really the wasn't really the fault of the earbuds But no that that aside and and a reason that you would want your phone is that Jabra and I'd love to know if other competing earbuds have anything like this has a very extensive app Where you can you can choose all sorts of stuff like do you want more noise canceling or less when you're out and about Do you want more bass? Do you want uh, if you're listening to spoken word podcasts and the like do you you know, like there are like several Ways that you can you can change the way that it sounds to you You can you can choose things like I want it to be more noise canceling unless I'm not playing anything If they're just in my ears and then I can hear more of the world. It is Well, that's a yes. Yeah, it's well done. So these Microsoft headphones they have it built into the surface to the uh To the Cortana app where you have Very much what you were talking about and you know, I'm familiar with the Jabra once set up as well Sony has a pretty good setup surprisingly The Bose app is not that good Not very good not a lot of uh equalizer settings not a lot not a lot It's just really just to set up the the device all together So, yeah, but I I truly enjoyed being able to pick different equalizers based on what I'm listening to being able to You know control the amount of bass that I'm hearing and you know the amount of noise cancellation I agree with you. So those things I think are awesome. Uh, so far. So I was just like man You know, Microsoft tends to do hardware every once in a while. They just knock it right out of the park You know, sometimes they're like But every once in a while they'll just like Out of here Well, uh, when microsoft finally comes out with their earbud announcement We'll be sure to check back in with you and find out if they if they measure up With what they bring out I'll also wanted to mention an email from simon. We were talking about the sony mdr 7506 headphones last week and he recommends velour ear pads They're inexpensive. They cut down on the flaking of the built-in pad of the headphones over time And they don't make your ear sweat for marathon sessions So you might want to I don't know for your over the year That's a really good tip because I I think I mentioned this before it's I I love these headphones I would wear them to bed. They're very comfortable, but they do get warm Especially, you know, I'm like editing for a few hours at a time You got a little spot going on and I would recommend these because that's what I did These what are these? These are the biodynamic Edt 250 v headphone pads and they fit right over the sony you pull off the old pads you put these on Go they work great. I've had them on for six years and they stopped the sweating Nice. Yeah, I mean Unless you like sweating I don't know.

My bow is in here. Seren out to the lean back Enjoy the show. We'll just be like tell us more 65 t actives right here. Can you always keep them closed? Minor They're in the other room, you know, one of the biggest trad tragedies of my life Not because I mean, there are many bigger tragedies, but this was just a very sad day I left my bows noise canceling headphones and this was like a solid 10 years ago So they were not brand new but still like, oh, these are nice, you know, like you spent four years ago Oh, yeah, my headphones, you know, so they were, you know, pride and joy I left them in a rental car that I was dropping back off on my way back to an airport I don't even remember what city I was in And like two seconds after I realized that I didn't have them I went back to the rental car place and sure enough They were gone somebody open and said and everyone had the rental car place was like No No, you have my headphones. I have to help my headphones. You were right here. Yeah sad I'm still mad about that. Yeah, that's another thing. I should have said a better location Features on the headphones because you know, they kind of go with the phone As to where's the last place you had them, but that's about it You know, and I'd like to be able to get right to them because I had my, you know, $350 bows And I I have to this day. I still don't know what happened to them I don't know where they are. Did I leave them on a plane? The only thing I can think of is I left I threw out one of my old backpacks that I travel with And it's possible I left it in the backpack when I threw it out Yes, and that's what led me to buy these bad boys We have some title suggestions at showbot.chatrealm.net My favorite so far is my ears need to be smarter I'll buy with that sounds good. There's that just to give a few others their their do There's buds that are good on the surface Oh Microsoft buds heads with the air pods And uh, you want to tangle bud? No, I think you got the right one. Yeah, those are good. Netflix one's in here too like Netflix and random It's not bad. It's not bad at all. It's not bad Uh, oh that took me a second. I was like, oh, I gotta yeah My ears need to be smarter though. I think that's good. You want to come over and just see what Netflix gives us Would you go for a um, really called a runner up title Netflix and random would be my runner up My ears need to be smarter As the primary yeah I like that And so I know we've talked about my love for la croix and roger I know he's he's big on sparkling water in general Is there any problem with me drinking like five of these a day besides the obvious? Because I drink so many of them I it's like there's some there's gonna be something wrong Yeah, like is like what's the what what are the what are the ingredients read the side of the can to us? Well, okay, uh Gosh, well that the text is very small and I'm very old Uh What is it ingredients carbonated water natural flavor? That's it. I mean I drink the coconut la croix. It's just my jam I imagine the carbonation at a certain point could become a problem for your digestive tract nothing serious But you know the problem be burp just gas, you know, I think yeah supposedly at one point They thought it would actually lead to An early form of osteoporosis because the carbonation or something with the bones, but I haven't seen anything to I do remember that kind of going around a few years ago. I don't know if that's true or that was just sort of a wise I don't have an urban legend Something they were testing and they never found evidence or not I mean I'm to the point now where I'm like I need to just get a soda stream because I like carbonated water And I'm you know, there's I don't you don't need to go like Throw out like 20 of these into my recycling every week. Also. I don't know what the flavoring. What's the flavoring? That's where your danger. Well, natural flavoring is usually that's where the that's where the lawsuit's coming in because They aren't telling you exactly what the even if it's natural doesn't mean it's good for you Also, there's just no way that the coconut flavor in here is Cyanide is natural. I don't want it flavoring my you get cyanide and apples Right It's natural seeds, right? Yeah. Well, and you also grow a tree in your body if you that's right That's right. Neither one of these things are in any way scientifically unsound. No Growing a tree in your body. Everyone knows that's what happens But where does it get the sunlight to get the energy to grow From your sunny disposition I will never have a tree grow inside me From your warm heart That's right I just Yeah, if you if you if you swallow apple seeds and you're worried just be a jerk No sunny disposition. You're fine That's when the arsenic gets you Failed again, but for apples notes to sign it cyanide Oh, same thing. It's in Tylenol Um, is so what what happens to you if you have too much cyanide you die? Yeah Yeah, I mean, I know it's a poison, but it's like also the amount of cyanide in an apple seed is Very you would need to eat like five barrels like oil barrels. Don't eat five barrels of apple seeds If you want to do that you've got bigger fish to fry man I will be the least of your work I feel like that was an episode of elementary There was an episode of gi joe where they used that as a plot gimmick They had to fight off this amoeba that cobra created that got very big And the only way to stop it was cyanide so they bombarded it with apples and they stirred it toward an apple orchard Oh, drew nielsen in the chat room points out that if you drink a lot of canned liquids You might start to increase your exposure to the cans lining something that one can probably isn't going to bother you But if you're drinking You know seven or eight a day every day Maybe but isn't isn't aluminum a better material to hold beverages than plastic Well Reminds me You wouldn't have a reaction, right because glass is pretty non-reaction A lot of glass stuff before the glass would start to come off It probably I don't think you would though would it is it that way they put Glass is not made of diamonds Some of it does Come off Just not very much Speaking of glass, um trying a new I forgot all about this. I was gonna have it during the show new kombucha Not just flavor but brand. Um, this is actually a local brand but the um The flavor is tropical mineralizer Tropical mineralizer. That's right. And there's a picture of like some pineapple on it That may or may not have anything Why is it got an active name? I don't know. Is it going to mineralize you? Yeah, is mineralizer a word? I would be a would be a name of a flavor Lizer it makes it sound like it's gonna do sounds like a product you get after you buy a house to They probably just use in spring water Minerals right off the stream, but it's probably like a You know a dropper full the minerals are coming from the deposits inside the pipe. They pull the water Oh man, I should have looked at the sugar content before I bought this I only like kombucha that has very little sugar. I don't like the sugary ones. Oh, it's spelled mineral l i e I see What kind of sugar though, um, we got We got 10 grams But what are they using the sweeten it out of you? Oh, I see We got organic kombucha Cain sugar cane sugar organic black tea organic pineapple juice, but not organic cane sugar just cane sugar Uh, no, it says organic cane sugar. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah only the best for my mineralizer Uh, no no corn syrup or no, no, no, no, but I mean what else would you besides I guess you could use stevia Oh stevia for sure. Yeah stevia nicks monk fruit It would monk fruit What how many calories in a bottle of that? Uh, how many calories? Oh, wait a minute. Let's guess. Let's guess. All right How many servings is that bottle is a one or two? It's just one. Yeah I was looking at two because they like to try to trick you. Yeah, well over 15 grams. I'm gonna say 250 calories I'm just gonna say I'm gonna say 80 Now I'm gonna go with You're both wrong 60 Oh, I was I said 80. So Roger was right rules Give me my money drew carry It's kind of weird though that the calorie would Count would be that low when there's at least 10 grams of sugar in here You know why it's because there's no calories in anything else in there. It's only the yeah, that's true Yeah, it's basically just water and tea Otherwise, yeah, well, I'm trying to open it and let you all know how great it is. But it's You know the fermenting thing is doing its thing. So you have to hard kombucha, right? What's that? No hard kombucha I don't like alcohol. I mean there's trace amounts of alcohol in kombucha But yeah, like the when you see that at a bar on tap. I'm like, no, thank you I'm always I'm always curious like well, okay. How did you get it hard? Did you pull it out? Later in the process though it fermented more or did you just add vodka to the kombucha like yeah I think a lot of it is beer and kombucha Like a mishmash. Yeah Which which probably tastes kind of good. I don't know if you like kombucha I'm like, yeah, one or the other. I don't need them to we don't have to combine all of these things Folks, it is literally taking Sarah like five minutes to open this can of kombucha Have you have you ever had kombucha that has been shaken a little bit too much and then you open it again And you're very sorry. Well, I've had I've I've I've been doing this a while. I know how it has to be In fact, oh Oh, yeah, it's about to go That thing's gonna pop off while you're going to get a towel. We're gonna have kombucha. Her desk is gonna have kombucha It's about to be open Oh Oh, man, I I've just sit here listening for the pop right right Thanks to my pop of bottle one. Nope. She's back I hear I hear faint noises off in the distance Yeah, I what it what even is kombucha is it tea that's fermented. Is that what it is? I don't you know, I've seen I've seen in my local organic store and I just kind of bypass it It's like I I my wife was into it for a while and I tried it and I was like, okay I get it. You know, it's not horrible. But yes It's fermented from tea to so black or green tea tea. Okay. Well that I only I only know about it because of Uh, Stephanie Mack at revision three because she drank it every day All right. Good old smack. We open. Yeah, I had to pour a little out because it was for your homies All right All right, so It's not bad No, no, no, no well because with pineapple. Uh, I don't really like pineapple juice things It just becomes too pineapple-y. No, this is this is good. It's good. It's refreshing Audio folks, we're gonna end it there Audio folks, if you want to find out the longer term effects of this kombucha and sara stick her out. There's more to come
