I'm Tom Eric and from studio feline. I'm Sarah Lane and from Oakland, California. I'm Justin Robert young And I'm Roger from somewhere in LA County Hello, Roger from somewhere in LA County. Oh our audience Thank you for joining the daily Amazon news show We'll be talking nothing but Amazon as Amazon announced approximately 500,000 products today And just about an hour. I mean they didn't take long to do it, but they just it was rapid fire boom boom boom Well, if there's one thing you can be very excited about that. That's always right Yeah, no, I if they had to announce this many products, which I'm not sure they did at least they did it fast So I'll go I'll give them that let's start with a few tech things you should know I'll play that As Tom just mentioned Amazon announced a big pile And I mean big of new gadgets and voice assistance features Thursday we will run through all the new echoes and a clock and a microwave a little later in the show Sony Interactive Entertainment SVP Hero Yuka Oda said that the company will stop production of its PS Vita in Japan in 2019 Sony has no plans for a successor to the Vita. He did mention that other countries But most markets sell Vita's made in Japan. He did not mention not mentioned. Sorry the other country mention it Yeah, GoPro announced its hero seven line of cameras going on sale September 27th The hero seven white is a hundred ninety nine dollars and the least dangerous of the gopros Can do 1440p video at 60 frames per second the silver version is $299 with 4k at 30 frames per second and GPS and the hero seven black has all of that for $399 and can do 4k at 60 frames per second adds in super slow mo and live streaming capability as well It also introduced an improved image stabilization feature called hyper smooth It's what I have tried to be in junior high Never succeeded. All right. Let's talk a little more about insurance Justin. Ah, yes the exciting world of life insurance John Hancock announced that it will no longer underwrite traditional life insurance instead selling interactive policies that track fitness and health data through wearable devices Hancock introduced the interactive policies in 2015 It is an established product in britain and south africa and gaining popularity in the united states The policies can offer discounts for hitting exercise targets and gift cards for logging data How much does this affect people because I don't know how many people actually have life insurance independently like this right where you Go to John Hancock. I know a lot of people do but I'm I'm I'm curious because my first thought the reason I asked this is That's kind of a burden like oh if you want life insurance, you're gonna have to shell out some money for a tracker Well, and it's also John Hancock saying all right you got life insurance like why are you getting there? Are you being cautious or is there something wrong with you and if we can track more data that is You know more and more being established to be Accurate that we can use to figure out whether or not we want to give you a life insurance policy I don't blame the company for doing so, but it is it's a whole privacy conversation as well I would hasten to clarify Uh in case someone gets the wrong idea It's not about getting the life insurance policy You can't be turned down because you didn't wear a tracker in the past This is about giving you deductions and perks For wearing the tracker while you're doing the life insurance So you kind of have to wear it after you get it you can't be turned down for not having one But you're gonna have to have it to keep going with it The idea being it will keep you healthier if you have a tracker That's what they found it encourages you to be more to be healthier And this is it John Hancock trying to incentivize and keep good bets All insurance kind of boils down to whether or not you are going to be paying in more than you are taking out But for life insurance specifically It's a little bit less of a immediate How is this going to affect my life kind of thing because you're worrying about the future You're worrying about your family and who you're going to leave behind So what they want to do is say hey look We like the people that are wearing wearables that are at the gym that we can verify through this fairly easy Process are doing it and therefore We can make it a little bit less expensive for you or give you some kind of incentive To say okay We'll keep doing this because that means you're going to stay alive longer Which means you're going to pay us more which means we're okay with paying out your life insurance when you die Nobody wants you to stay alive more than a life insurance company. Yes Well, okay, so what happens when you you lose your smart watch that's tracking all the things that johnny hancock says Is going to give you perks. What do your deductions look like? Yeah, well, I don't know if you could lose your policy if you stopped wearing it. That's a good question I'd like to know that if anybody in the insurance business knows how these things work Uh a little better. Let us know, but yeah You're going to lose your deductions. Yeah, yeah, this this is more carrot than stick I think they just want people to to feel a benefit for doing just be giving the trackers to people And saying like if you want a more expensive one great But you get at least a basic fit bit if you do this This is all about making you a better statistic on the actuarial table that they compute every year to make sure that they're not insolvent Instagram announced users can now use gifts using giffy into their instagram direct messages Oh happy day starting today instagram direct will also have a gift button on the composition bar So if you click on it You'll get trending gifts where you can hit random people who use giffy within slack are already familiar with this For whatever giffy thinks you probably want based on the keyword Instagram already offers this and it's cool toolkit for story stickers. So more of a gift rollout on the instagram platform Who's excited me I I'm glad that instagram is more gift friendly I don't know exactly how much I want to use it in my direct messages How many ship at all show good gifts do they have that's It's sort of like how much do you want to use emojis in your direct messages? It comes up once in a while. This is a nice feature. I'm sure I will use it I hope it leads to instagram being more gift friendly for not only posts in your main feed But also in your stories and stuff like that. I I want I want instagram to continue to be more gift friendly I need to use them more That's I I know how to properly use a gif and I know how to properly say gif But I don't use them often enough I'm just trying to there's a There's a faction out that needs to be addressed. There's a faction. I try to throw them a bone every once in a while The balance of the show, but yeah, I I don't I don't use them in a way that this is going to change my behavior much Maybe a will I doubt it though No, it's it's uh, it's It's lovely gift friendly people. I I'm a big fan of giffy in particular platforms that have it integrated. Well, I mentioned slack before use it all the time in slack. It's very funny um But yes in a stories feature slash dm feature great It's it's not going to revolutionize your instagram experience But if it can help you express yourself to people without using actual words I'm not mad at you I'd like you to send me a gif that explains that I will do that after the show. Thanks Uh facebook launched a test of its dating feature in its mobile app in colombia Facebook dating Uses what it knows about you to suggest matches from people who have chosen to be listed facebook bent over backwards to Point out you have to opt in It's separate from facebook messenger. It's separate from your facebook profile We're trying to do it right the default doesn't show friends You can't see your friends in this and you can even choose to exclude friends of friends If that's even a little bit too close to home users can express interest in up to 100 people per day There is a max and there are no plans at this time to monetize it They just want to see if it works in colombia and if it does they plan to roll it out to the rest of the world Hot nights in bogota Well, yeah, I know this is a limited testing slash roll out and we've talked about the idea of facebook introducing dating on his platform in the past It's interesting that facebook's like listen We know you might not want to be matched with friends or even friends of friends because that's awkward Even though most dating apps actually use facebook As the repository to figure out who your friends are and who your friends or friends are in order to match you With those people So it's almost like the opposite of like facebook saying this might be sort of an underground thing You might want to do don't worry. We're not going to make it weird for you Even though it's sort of the antithesis of what a lot of dating apps already do Yeah Regarding the hot nights in bogota. Justin they're they're also saying we don't want to be a hookup app We're doing things to actually get in the way of that and try to foster people who want longer term relationships Right because everyone knows if you meet a friend of a friend. It's a hookup app You got to get that out of there and meet a stranger look, uh hinge is already a very popular dating app that uses facebook data. There is obviously a A market there for people who want to use the data that they already enter into social media to make this Obviously a comically ridiculous and painful process for some a little bit easier and more successful so I think that it's there really my biggest thing is that just Make a hinge clone make a better hinge clone that is powered that is more explicitly powered by facebook I just don't know facebook is such a overloaded brand with so much kind of tied to it I I really do wonder whether or not this would be something that if you gave it even the patina Of a different name that it looks a little bit like a different product If it wouldn't be something that people wouldn't jump all over immediately I you know you say that but If we've learned nothing from the whole election snafu over facebook and privacy violations and cambridge analytica. It's that facebook can kind of do everything and people will still use it so It's it is the right the right thing to do like yeah, sure some people won't be attracted to it because it's called facebook dating But that won't be the most majority Yeah, uh, maybe I don't know. I think people already are volunteering their data to date with uh, uh, so it's it seems like it works So whether or not it works as a facebook feature will see investigations By the cbc news and toronto star claimed ticket master recruits professional scalpers to expand its retail business and optimize pricing Automated purchasing of tickets is prohibited by the terms of service, but a ticket master sales rep is quoted as saying quote I have brokers that have Literally a couple hundred of accounts It's not something that we look at or report and quote The source said the resale division of ticket master does not report users To the abuse division Eddie vener was right ticket master sucks A division of ticket master sucks. I mean it's it's tempting to run with this and just you know and say to all Ticket master has been trying to fool us the whole time And it does seem like the resale division is saying that like the the undercover investigation found Sales people at ticket master who are like look the abuse division. We don't talk to them. All right So wink wink do whatever you want. We're not going to turn you in if you get caught by them Though it's it's it's out of our hands ticket masters official policies prohibit the sort of behavior and the abuse division Does try to crack down on it But I but what what is controversial here despite all of that is that you have a division that is kind of actively saying Wink wink nudge nudge if you can get away with it great. We won't tell on you Look ticket master talk about a brand that has been defined for for many many years ticket masters Brand that people don't look at kindly between the fees and exclusive windows and when people are able to buy stuff This is I mean I joke about pearl jam and Smashing pumpkins and louis ck and so many other artists trying to take things away from the ticket master monopoly But this is an industry that had that was rocked by private resale of tickets with stub hub and similar communities I'm not shocked that they are trying to control it as much as possible Nor am I shocked that this company that has a bad reputation Has another as a an element within them that is doing things that would earn one a bad reputation Yeah, and if you don't understand what it what we're talking about on ticket master You can buy a ticket from someone or or directly, you know from the venue and then resell it and what what's going on is Scalpers go in and automate bots to buy the tickets and then Resell them and they'll have hundreds of accounts To do this so they can they if there's a limit on the amount of tickets per person They can get around that and sell hundreds of thousands of tickets 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 All right. I broke down the amazon announcements into four categories The first of the four is new versions of the classic echo Amazon announced the echo dot by the way, we'll just say it right now. Everything's covered in fabric now. Everything looks like a google home The new echo dot has a few fewer microphones for microphones But a pros supposedly improved sound quality prices of everything are also the same. They didn't raise the prices The echo show is twice as big of a screen now 10 inches real-time dolby processing Integrated skype and firefox, which I found interesting and the echo plus. That's the one that has the built-in smart home hub Has a temperature sensor and really interestingly something called local voice control that lets you control your smart home devices Even if your internet is down It'll just use your local wi-fi network with a limited amount of voice recognition That's built in on the device itself rather than going through the cloud. What do y'all think of the new classic echoes Well, uh, you know a new fabric design is sort of I don't know whatever the the Uh apple does it as well, but it's a nice look It's nice that we're getting new features for roughly the same prices among all these devices And as far as the echo show having twice as big of a screen at 10 inches Unless you had like a tiny little space that you were trying to shove it into in your kitchen or something I think that would be advantageous to most people who are looking for a video screen version of an echo device That was the one thing I didn't like as much and I don't think it's a bad feature But I like my five inch echo it fits echo show because it's where I have it really well I wouldn't want a 10 inch one there So kind of sad to see they don't have a five inch and a 10 inch available But but whatever that's that's fine. Justin anything else on these? Uh amazon knows the spoilers. Uh, they know what sells they know why it sells they know what uh people They know what uh consumers want because they're the ones selling them they sell Probably the most amount of google homes because they sell google homes on amazon So if if if fabric is the order of the day, that's the order of the day I like the the echo plus though That's one of the things that I found out with an internet outage yesterday How much my smart home completely goes from uh, you know, uh 60 to amish There is any kind of outage so i'm happy to see that all right Let's talk about their high-end audio announcements. The echo sub is 100 watt bass woofer sub woofer That is able to pair with an echo It doesn't work on its own So add some bass to your echo sound or if you have two echoes you can now pair all all three of them together And have stereo sound with the sub woofer They're also opening up their multi room music feature to all devices for free starting with the pulk Com command bar later this year There's also the echo link amp and the echo link That have a built-in well the amp has a built-in 60 watt two channel amplifier And they both have higher quality audio than the echo dot provides So you get digital and analog inputs and outputs The echo link is basically the same thing without the amp and then there's the echo input Which is kind of the opposite side of the dot So you have the echo link that's like, hey, what better quality audio than the dot go with this one There's the echo input which has no speaker at all It's just line out and bluetooth and amazon says they're going to partner with existing speaker makers starting with bows To bundle these in so you buy a bows speaker And you can put a few of these around and have them connect by bluetooth and one of them by line Uh, and and now suddenly that speaker becomes Throughout the home sort of at least controllable I love this stuff personally But these are the conversations that I have with a lot of my friends where people are just like I don't know it's audio. Can I just plug it into the wall and it just sort of like Play in my music This is more of a yeah, like sort of audiophile want to tinker around You know, most people don't even know what a subwoofer is or why it would help And certainly amplifiers You know go into that category as well This sounds great to me. The prices are low and it's wonderful. However, it's all about the setup process Because if it's complicated setup, you're you're just you're you're not going to get casual audio listeners interested in most of this stuff in my opinion We're this is going to also be my commentary for the next few things. So just go ahead and copy and paste I don't have to say because we have a million products to get through christmas time is here They want you to think of the music lover in your life and they want a very affordable hundred Around 100 to 200 to 300 dollar device depending on how much you love them that you can say hey look Here's a new functionality to your already existing set of speakers or here's a way that you can bring This is for your for your audiophile A member of your family that you want to buy a reasonably priced gift for that is the theme of this announcement Which is we are putting our voice assistant in everything And the knock on the echo has been not a great speaker Well, guess what we put a subwoofer to make it a better speaker And if you're really into high-end audio and you're like, I would never give up my high quality speakers We got an answer for you there, too What if you want a dvr over the air? Well, I got an answer for that. Here's a bunch of their home announcements fire tv recast is essentially a tableau Or a home run If you know what those products are then you know that what you do is you plug an antenna Into the the recast the fire tv recast in this case and put it wherever the signal is best in your house And then it will use your wi-fi network to send All the dvr recorded content and live over the air to your device over your home wi-fi or you can access it over the internet as well and that Is available for the fire tv the echo show The echo spot or ios and android So that's interesting because it's turning your echo show into a television now And it has two versions two tuners and 500 gigabytes for 229 dollars or a terabyte and four tuners for 279 dollars amazon also announced a smart plug Which is like every other smart plug it can it can through an app or through voice control Turn whatever's plugged into it on or off by giving it power taking the power away And it can be scheduled to turn things on or off, but this one is also hubless So you don't need to have a smart hub to make it work unlike some of the others But it's 125 All right, there's also the ring stick up cam which is not as they joked in the verge story about Pointing a gun at you. Uh, it just means you can stick it anywhere which lots of these cams could already be done Uh, so this one can be battery powered or wired the echo wall clock I know is rogers favorite because it's a wall clock Like that can set alarms like that one And can show you the progress of timers as well as the current time And it has microphone in it. So it's a full on echo Then there's the home basics microwave, which does not have a microwave or it does not have a microphone in it But it is a microwave You have to have an echo to control it But it does have a dash button built in meant to help you order microwave popcorn Or it can just keep track of your popcorn usage and order it automatically when it knows you're out That one's 60 bucks Uh, and then a couple of technologies that go along with this stuff wi-fi simple setup Is using wi-fi lockers to store your wi-fi credentials and then share them when you add a compatible smart home device To your network tp link and ero are their first partners there and there's the alexa connect kit That's what turned the microwave into a device that works on the network And that includes a module with bluetooth le and wi-fi the companies can put in devices to make them smart They're trying to get other companies to pick that up. All right, so lots of home stuff here I think the most ridiculous one is the electric plug for $129, but what do you guys think? Uh, I think that that's high price, but that that's for a very specific use case Uh, my guess is that they are looking at other products like that and they're saying, okay If you have a need to do it then this is for you know, you're you're Beach home or something or people who are renting their houses out on air b&b and they want to go plus is $149 It's only like 25 bucks more To get a thing that then you can go buy the $15 20 plugs and use those I'm only giving amazon credit for being price smart on this because of what i'm going to talk about next All right, walk clock is the stocking stuffer of 2018. I can't imagine anything else being more of a I have no idea what to get somebody 30 bucks it looks impressive It can hang anywhere it does some of the stuff that that is is popular elsewhere And if you already are in that ecosystem, here's another place for it I also think that the microwave as silly as that sounds and as much as we can make fun of we do We really need it on a microwave. Yes for $60 if you're looking to buy a microwave And it's that or a comparably priced $60 microwave, which is about what they cost But that doesn't have that functionality. You're gonna go for that functionality I love I'd love to know how many people who get the The amazon wall clock in their stocking if it even fits in there Um are like, oh, but I don't have an echo device and they're like the person giving them that I was like, well shoot. Okay. I kept my receipt Because the you just like plug in the walk the wall clock doesn't need another echo device It's the microwave that needs another echo device. No, the wall clock does it connects to an echo device via bluetooth No Uh-oh debate. All right. All right. You may be right. All right. We'll we'll hold that over I I thought the wall clock had the voice built in but I could be wrong about that That one you can't get yet either We can't right because there's very limited information about it Yeah, if uh, if you buy somebody the microwave too, right? Uh, if you buy somebody something that Sarah's right. Sarah's right. It does not have alexa built in if you buy somebody doesn't have alexa built in and they don't have an echo Well, and then you're gonna have to buy an echo too This this is the gift you get that you got the echo for them last year, right? That's my father-in-law That's my father-in-law All your father-in-laws So yeah, uh, wall clock Don't buy it. All right. Let's talk about the uh, I'm sorry. Don't you can't buy it yet, but maybe All right. Let's talk about the car. Uh, echo auto. I think maybe More confounding to me than the the electric outlet echo auto connects to a car through bluetooth or an audio jack Uses your phone for connectivity and as a display. So you need your phone Uh, but there you go. You can technically put amazon voice in your car Amazon also introduced something I think is a cooler thing which is guard mode for your echo devices It detects the sound of breaking glass Or a fire or co2 alarm will then record a clip of that sound and send it to your phone So you know what's going on and it can even uh integrate with security companies including amazon's own ring But also ad t and it can do things like randomize the lights going on and off To simulate you being home. Uh, it's a it's a cool little function of the existing echoes There's also something called hunches Where it will use some neural networks to try to guess what you're doing and say hey, you left the porch light on Did you mean to do that or you know, I think the door is still unlocked Do you want me to lock that before you go to bed and stuff like that? Uh, and then for parents the free time service on voice power devices now supports routines Uh, so the the routines like good night You can now have them for for the free time service for your kids And uh, there's a whisper back function. So when you whisper to the echo, it knows you whispered and it's like Okay, I'll keep it down and it gives you a whisper back Fast fast thoughts on this before we move on. Yeah, these are all uh Again, I think that they are also taking Either other products that they see so well or functionalities that they are looking to serve and they're putting their own Product out on it again. This amaz this is not a guess for amazon They know what products sell they know that uh that we have been covering Literally every device uh has some kind of voice assistant built into it and many of them are Amazon so this is them putting it into it. I actually do think that the car thing is a is a smart idea But just use your phone It's not always on though But you have to have your phone on to use this thing. So if your phone's not on then that thing doesn't work Huh, give your phone in your pocket. You mean you you can't like click them. I don't know Maps on this thing anyway, you're gonna pull it out of your pocket. I have had friends of mine buy devices buy a dash cam Just so it could have The echo voice assistant built into it also, uh, I want to apologize for sarah for correcting her when she wasn't wrong and Criticized amazon for calling something an echo when it didn't have voice You know he we won't apologize to is our reddit community because they're the best Thank you to everybody who participates in our sub reddit You can submit stories and vote on them at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com And if you prefer facebook or if you like both great facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show Is where you can find us there on word to the mail bag On word this one comes from ryan the dj who suggested omni charge for frequent top travelers who need their gear charge And this was actually in response to um christ christiansen's amateur traveler Tip from the other day ryan says First model that i suggesting from omni charge uses a 20 000 milli amp battery with two usb ports A regular wall plug for charging laptops with small appliances and all the good stuff You know because when you take your small appliances with you on the road Which you might no judgment the next version includes usb c for more complementary laptops The current model is in its endy go-go campaign. So it's still trying to raise money featuring a four 40 000 milli amp battery which can be swapped out on the fly So you don't have to keep recharging the power pack out in the field if it dies ryan says i took the type c version to a conference with me in july I was able to get through pretty long conference days with my service book two my iphone 7 plus hot spot And the mobile power pack didn't have to bring a single power supply with me to the conference center ryan i'm with you on this i have this the fewer cables the better oh you do I have it and i love it and it's got a regular old outlet on it and it can get me about 20 from a dead laptop It can get me about a 25 charge on my macbook Which is if if folks have been a pinch. Yeah, that's that's huge It is it is the difference between sitting at the coffee shop that you want or trying to go to somewhere else Where you can get by the outlet uh, it is it is freedom that unlocks part of your world fan of the omni charge And uh insta correction as well. Thanks to another j martin in the discord The amazon smart plugs only 25 bucks now the verge tech crunch many of the outlets out there that we rely on All said 125 so at some point somebody told him 125 Maybe that was like a four pack or something. I don't know but when you go to amazon now and you look at the smart plug It's 25 bucks. So that changes my opinion of it entirely. This is a great thing This is another stocking stuffer here does not need a hub Stocking stuffer, uh, man. Well the record for the shortest stocking stuffer of the year reign for the amazon wall clock It's the amazon plug Our email addresses feedback at daily tech Let's say say thank let's say goodbye to just rubber young first.

Say that again Like the reason why you do a big announcement is so all the press can report in one single solitary voice This is the product. This is when it's out. This is how much it costs, right? That's why you do these events otherwise You could just list them on your website or send out a press release or or do something But you want to make a Leave a little song a little dance a little salsa down your pants because you want to get the biggest bang for your Buck in the press possible But if people are all screwing up that your plug is 125 dollars instead of 25 dollars Then maybe there could have been a little bit more care Into making sure that there was a lot more sunshine on a few products instead of a billion products. Yeah I kind of think that's true. I get it now I'm going back to the tech wrench article now to see if that that's been updated Uh Yeah, it costs 25 dollars, which is pretty standard fare is what it says now Other than earlier when it said it costs 125 dollars, which is quite expensive for a wall plug Um a list as wide and deep as the amazon Man, I mean it's got the right idea. It's just a little wordy The amazon flows through it it's also amassing amazon announcements It's also amazon echoes everything, but the kitchen sink Is there an echo in here that I like a lot. Oh, that's actually a good one Yeah picture of the clock. Is there an echo in here? Is that what we're going with? Uh, is there an echo in here sounds good fun Is there an echo in there and I can't wait till monday when I can get along with the stress of having moved and unpacking and setting things up Instead of the stress of about to move And packing, you know, but yeah moving feels a little silly. It's like we're putting all these things boxes. You're just going to take them out again Shouldn't we just be able to Transport stuff I'm wondering if maybe moving toward a minimalist lifestyle where you're just like Yeah, I'm just going to pack up my clothes and A couple of personal effects and everything else just moving will do that to you Every time I move. I'm like, you know what? I don't actually need anything in this box. Let's just put in the dumpster Save ourselves the trouble I tried really hard to do that ahead of time this time It's sort of like, uh, when you're getting married and you're like at the very end you're like, okay I don't know $500 like just do it. I'm sick of this. I'm sick of the details I wanted to be as painless as possible Apologies to anybody who enjoyed the getting married process I mean, there were fun times, but I definitely You know what I'm talking about.

Everything's okay I've had A little bit of a I don't know if i'm getting sick, but like around halfway through my stream this morning. I have my face exploded Oh, yeah What does that mean? You look much better. I have considered A drainage out of my Yeah, occurred it was an everything out said everything must go situation in my nose and so Uh, I took a a day quill And I think i'm good, but i'm a little Head in the clouds I hear you you know I used to I used to take drick sorrel. Do you guys remember drick sorrel? Yes drick sorrel is That was the commercial that was the commercial I don't remember the commercial drick sorrel is Something that helps you it was like it was almost like a mad lib. Yeah, you guys remember that ricks Dricks oral drick sorrel it would be like drick sorrel is going to help you sleep drick sorrel is Safe According to the fda or whatever it was, you know, it was like there were all these things By the end of the commercial you're like, oh it seems like it's all the right things I'm gonna uh on youtube. I'm looking it up. Oh, look at this. Look at this Hold on. Wait a minute. Let's see if we go Oh, and it's it's putting up itself up against the I miss those commercials. I miss the newprin ones small I think they still sell they just they don't advertise it anymore I brought up dricks roll though because it used to just make me feel really good It's probably the effedron Calmed me right down. Oh, maybe not the effedron then. Yeah, well, you wouldn't think it was the effedron that would do that But I just I was always like, oh, I feel much. I feel less anxious. I feel good You know feel calm when I drink sorrel. It was more it was kind of I don't care about anything kind of head in the clouds cold medicine feeling like i'm calm because I don't care It's it's you know, when you're in chemistry class in high school is probably not the best state of mind I don't care Let's blow up this beaker. Yeah Is it burning my finger? I don't care. Uh, whatever. I took some just tricks orl is tricks orl is Going to help you get through chemistry Uh, yeah, and then it's off the market now because of the effedron They just they weren't one of the ones like pseudofed that went behind the counter. They just quit Oh, wow. I mean, I'll tell you what farm, uh, you know the pharma specifically like, uh It's a high stakes game Like there there's there's not a lot of room for for error or problems with it. Uh, Which kind of gets lost me because they're they're easy to You know, uh Make fun of or cast aspersions on but it's like that's You know for for as many times as you Hit with a big drug, right? There is a tremendous amount of cost that goes into researching Getting something through trials Uh, then you're also and even then then starting to get it into the doctor's offices where they will start We give up free samples and little flyers and oh, yeah Yeah, and then you're still on the hook for a class action lawsuit that it's you know doing something that it shouldn't or or yadda yadda yadda I actually I actually way back in the day. I I dated a pharmacologist and he he worked for A big pharma company. We'll just leave it at that and it was like, you know We'd get 49ers tickets from, you know, people who were petally in their drugs and it's like all you have to do It's like going on a cruise all you have to do is like sit in this room for an hour before the game and listen to our new drug Or that detail, you know, we're even at it. This is a very long time ago, but even at a young age. I was like this seems borderline You know in my former existence when I was doing Uh stuff at sales conferences for the go game You get some stories a few people get a few pops in them start talking about the medical rep field Have some stories, but uh Lots of the board above board stuff going on certainly But definitely there were there were certain instances where I'm like, huh This is okay. I see what's going on here. Uh Yeah, uh Short skirts big promises, uh You know, there's there's a lot of I heard a lot of stories a lot of stories of of It's a weird field because it's high stakes. It's either you make it's life and death stakes Well, I mean there's that the fact that these are literally drugs that are you know In some cases either making people's lives better extending them or saving them but also like You know, there was a a show on a Uh a network that you know once used to pay all of us uh that uh did not have a ton of listeners but it was for the right audience because All you needed was to convince One person that was listening to it To make a decision that would oftentimes lead to hundreds of thousands of dollars Uh in referrals for or in gains for people who were advertising on it So it didn't matter if 13 people were listening to it It mattered that the right 13 people were listening to it because that Going to draw top dollar advertising And that's what a lot of this pharmacology field is is that You either got to get this stuff in the hands of doctors. So doctors are going to prescribe it. So doctors know about it Uh or yanked and so all of that money spent on trials all that money spent on Getting it through the fda and approved that is all for not unless it is getting prescribed by doctors Video folks. I want to apologize. We were going to leave you with a teaser of of short skirts and big promises Uh accidentally gave me the the substantial, uh, you know, uh targeted audience information But we are going to leave it there and get into even uh more Uh substantial And and and skirtless Wait, no, that makes it sound like this thing Just we're we're gonna add the video audio folks stick around. There's more to come right
