 Yeah, mm-hmm. The worst are movies or shows with little ambient Audio of flourishes like something walking behind you or a knock or I was like, hey, is it something that's Because people are new born in a toddler you're excused from having to see anything Exactly. I mean you get to it I knew you see it's easier with newborns because they just see things moving, but they don't process it My my my eldest daughter is like no, it's just it's just the music nothing bad. Oh, wait My mother watched all sorts of horror movies Yeah, I'm totally fine Not at all angry you for not letting me watch the show I Well speaking of shows, why don't we do one right now called the Daily Tech news show? I think that's a wonderful idea I would like you to read line three today Sarah. I bet you would do it as a favor for me. Come on Anything for you Tom tis the season. Oh, you're the best. All right, 10 seconds. Here we go I will count you in from five and Five four three two Thanks to everyone who supports independent tech news directly if you're not already become a DTNS member at patreon.com slash DTNS This is the Daily Tech news for Monday December 3rd 2018 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio feline I'm Sarah Lane and from a warm and sees unseen unseasonably warm LA area Location Roger James just produced. Is it that warm where you are? It is it is It was kind of brisk in my neighborhood Normal for LA right now, but nevertheless, that's not what we're here to talk about. We are here to update you on Amazing advances in 5g. We have actual news for 5g. We're gonna get to that. But let's start with a few tech things You should know In advance of Nigeria's February election the pointer Institute examined the spread of false information on WhatsApp and a survey found that 28 percent of people in Nigeria shared information Which turned out to be false happens all over the world Nvidia unveiled the titan rtx gpu 24 gigabytes of gddr 6 v ram in each card 24 72 touring rt and 4608 cuda cores. That's up from 68 and 4352 in the rtx 2080 ti It is described in many headlines as a beast It also more than doubled the price to 2,500 bucks per card They're really targeting like ai researchers and stuff, but it can be used in your video game machine It is a consumer card the $80 titan rtx nv link bridge was also introduced That will let you join two titan rtx cards for a mere $5,000 Uh, and if you did do that you would get 100 gigabytes per second of total bandwidth on your video card So speaking of ai deep minds alpha fold ai has yielded a fast method to find the 3d structure of proteins From the sequence of their amino acid molecules winning an international protein folding competition Determining folds used to take years in many cases But alpha fold can predict folds in a matter of hours Determining protein folding is essential in treating many diseases among other things. Yeah That's a good advance. Uh, and tumblr told its users it will no longer allow adult content on the platform as of december 17th tumblr was removed from apple's app store a couple weeks ago at which time tumblr told users it had A zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse Monday ceo jeff denofrio announced the site would no longer allow explicit sexual content and nudity With some exceptions and they lined out some of those exceptions like breastfeeding or health stuff Things like that. So tumblr cracking down. Well, you know in instagram Sounds kind of like instagram's policy, right? Here's my question. Where do they all go? The user's gonna go somewhere There are tumblr users that were using it for that purpose not the child stuff so much Just, you know erotica, uh, they're gonna go somewhere Yeah, let us know We'll do the normal thing I would say there. So I yeah, I don't know. Uh, let's talk a little more about airpods Let's do it. Analyst menchi quo says that apple will release upgraded airpods with wireless charging support and upgraded bluetooth in the q1 of 2019 Redesign airpods will supposedly follow in 2020 That would be great because they don't actually fit my ears currently Well, also forecasts arise in unit sales from 16 million in 2017 to 100 million. Yes, you heard that right by 2021. That's just airpods We also have a lot of other headphone manufacturers making similar wireless buds that you pop in and they automatically pair Uh, the airpods are definitely apple's best-selling accessory quo says that and I have no reason not to believe that I do think Okay, this is just personal. Okay, but the other day I was thinking, you know, I don't feel so weird wearing the airpods out and about anymore Because I see more people with them on Uh, and so it's it's it's not they don't stick out as much As they did I remember when when earphones with wires were weird in public And you felt a little self-conscious because you're like people like what are those? But now everybody does it doesn't feel weird I was hoping airpods were getting to that point and a friend of mine made fun of me And was like, well, why do you have those cigarette butts hanging in your ear merit? I've never heard them referred to that way I haven't heard that before either So does this mean that that form factor, not just airpods is definitely though despite my friend's clever remark becoming just a normal The normal way you wear your headphones with your phone Well, you know, as I mentioned earlier the the apples of airpods because they're like the earbuds Just don't fit my ears. I have weird ears. I don't know. I'm not the only one who complains about this But you know when tom says I can jog with them. No problem. I'm like that would last me four seconds However, the idea of wireless headphones And and certainly the you know kind of the earbud thing rather than a bluetooth Solution You see it everywhere. I certainly do and yeah I think that that's just going to become more and more the way that people listen to Yes, yeah, yeah, I think so too. Maybe some of those other off brands not off brands. That's horrible. Uh, those alternative non apple brands Uh, uh, figure is better They're certainly cheaper At 10 a.m. Local time december 1st Japanese tv network nhk began broadcasting in eight k eight k folks ak broadcasting has begun mark it down in your calendars Uh along with 22.2 channel sound. It's first movie broadcast at 10 10 a.m. Local time I think uh was 2001 a space odyssey Which was re-scanned from the original negatives for the broadcast. It was a 70 millimeter. I think so it had nice Nice That's a resolution Sharp began selling its first super high vision ak tv with built-in tuner last month for around 6600 bucks So you can buy ak tv's and if you live in japan you can receive one Signal and it's definitely the pretty channel like other than 2001 a space odyssey They're showing like pictures of yosemite and folks on the ocean Yeah Wolves in alaska Yeah Well, okay, um, hey someone's got to start right I you know these sorts of stories and I hate to be like, uh, who cares whatever because it's It's technology where you know the resolution is getting better than ever and this is significant I don't feel like I'm the target audience for anything like this I mean, I can barely you know read a menu in low light at a restaurant these days, so Um, but but at the same time, you know for someone who can discern the difference Or at least cares that you know If you're talking about specs, then sure. Okay. Here we are broadcasting in ak Yeah, I I don't think you're alone. I don't think anyone's super excited about ak other than the technical advance of it, right? Like it's it's not Something that has an obvious advantage every review I read of it has people saying yeah, but when I stepped back more than a foot It didn't really look any different than 4k Right, so right there are definitely things you can do with ak that you can't do because you've got all that resolution You know cool tricks and zooms and stuff like that But I wonder if 8k will be the first advance that isn't immediately taken up 4k has been a little bit Taken up a little with a little bit less enthusiasm than hd Because you have to have hdr to really make it look different and otherwise people like yeah, okay It's got more resolution, but when i'm sitting on my couch, I don't really notice so I'm curious about 8k whether it's whether it's going to take longer I think eventually it will take over because you'll be able to do more with more resolution It'll get cheaper, etc But it may take a lot longer to catch on I mean we're doing it in japan simply because they want to be ready for the olympics and have an olympic broadcast in 8k Which is always a good point. It's uh, it's it's a very interesting technology and it's typically kind of Industry oriented in that they want to push More upgrade products that people They hope will upgrade to it kind of reminds me of 3d when 3d was like in every tv That you saw for sale at best buy or or or on amazon because that was the thing everyone's going to have 3d You just need to wear a lot It kind of petered out because it was convoluted for a lot of people who didn't feel like wearing glasses But they also didn't really see a benefit because 99 percent of their viewing was Watching the news or watching their netflix or watching something that wasn't 3d Yeah, you had to do something to watch 3d I think that was its biggest downfall if it had just been built in and everything was in 3d Then it might have caught on because people were like, well, it's there. It's in my tv I think that's why 4k is catching on in a lot of cases people just buy a new tv and it's got 4k And they're like, well, okay, I guess I'm watching 4k then Yeah, right even somebody who's not necessarily interested in these specs is like what's 4k means better resolution Well, I want that one. Yeah, some people will will will come on to that Whether or not they care about 4k exactly The Wall Street Journal reports its sources say that amazon is testing its cashierless system used in amazon go convenience stores In a larger grocery store type layout at amazon go customers scan a barcode on entry And then their selections are tracked and automatically charged to an amazon account When they leave we've talked about this before on the show amazon previously denied plans to Use this cashierless checkout and its whole food stores. So one asks themself Is amazon going to take on whole foods With itself Yeah, that's weird. That'd be like amazon weird, but amazon does these things. Yeah, it does right amazon go big You're non-organic a grocery store I was thinking about this and I hadn't actually thought about it in that Like perspective which is pretty intriguing But I was thinking maybe amazon would sell this technology to other grocery chains, right because they do that That's amazon web service. So maybe they wouldn't use it in whole foods But would provide a platform for other big chains To turn their their grocery stores into cashierless But but it doesn't have to be either or it could be that plus what you're saying where there's also these You know big amazon grocery chains that aren't whole foods somehow Well, so so here's my question. Why wouldn't they want to do this with whole foods amazon owns whole foods Whole foods is you know, depending on where you live. Certainly where I live It's you know, it's it's my favorite grocery chain. I'm there all the time You know, I like the cashiers and you know, it all works fine But but on a busy day and there's lots of lines You know, it's it's I could see where it would be advantageous to take the whole You know checking out part out of the equation But why why why would you not do that is because We're sort of in this kind of bridge area of grocery where certain people are like, I'm just not comfortable not having I think that's your biggest thing is the whole foods clientele in particular Are a little bit tech resistant They don't all have the idea that amazon owns their whole foods store And and and getting rid of cashiers might not play well like you're getting rid of jobs It's automation taking jobs away. Plus right. Yeah, we have a labor problem with whole foods employees already You might not want to make that worse by introducing this and every whole foods. I've ever been at has a really prominent security person standing outside which makes me think that they have a problem With shoplifting that maybe wouldn't be the best test case for cashier list. I don't know Microsoft will add real-time captions and subtitles to windows mac and online versions of powerpoint in late january The ai will support 12 spoken languages And display on screen in more than 60 languages so it can do translation as well At the same time microsoft has launched similar technology for skype today Users can read the words on screen as spoken the feature auto scrolls right now But microsoft is working on a way to scroll through captions in a side window If you want to like kind of scroll back into the conversation 20 languages will be supported in skype as it rolls out over the next few weeks So if you launch skype today, it may or may not be there for you, but it's rolling out over the next few weeks Real-time translation. I mean, I'm into it I I um, I can think of uh several instances over the last few years where you know, I I I wanted to talk to somebody where language was a barrier and this would have gone over real nice Yeah, the translation is great for for language barrier. Uh, just the captioning is great for accessibility If you're hearing impaired, I could think of maybe some streamers would use it to just provide live captioning as they go along It must be good enough I'll be interesting to see how well and that's the question right like how good is it? They used to be horrible. I mean the youtube, uh, auto captioning was was was awful, uh in days gone by But with with ai advances with machine learning, uh, they've improved a lot So I'm gonna assume it's it's serviceable, but I can't wait to try it out me as well The ryan's toys review youtube channel. Have you heard of it? Well, it features eight-year-old ryan is listed at the as the top moneymaker on youtube At 22 million subscribers over 12 months from june to june according to forbs We're 22 million dollars, brother jake paul took second place at 21.5 million dollars and dude perfect I don't know you but a lot of people do because you were third at 20 million ryan's parents set up the channel in march of 2015 They've been doing it for a little bit has almost 26 billion views and 17.3 million followers That's crazy in august walmart began selling a range of toys and clothing called ryan's worlds This has really caught on now. I believe since around march 2015 roger Has been telling me about the toy vloggers on youtube and how it's becoming g tom It is one of the most mystifying but also Like you you understand it, but you look at it. You still like why? um Essentially mystifying in the sense of that it you don't think it's cool It's like you cranking in 22 million dollars and all you do is run around and play with toys Like it's not even shot. Well, it's just someone running around late with toys They make up little silly vignettes. This is so understand this There there might be a few more people involved, but it's most mostly ryan his brother or sister His dad and his mother all involved and they do these little silly skits They he plays with toys like he'll do like toy unboxings What have you but if you saw it it would look like someone's home video but This genre of kids youtube videos is hot because it's safe um kids watch and they enjoy it because even though they may not be interacting Kids actually like it watching other kids play. That's what I've learned even though as adults we tend to shy away from that But it spawned a host of imitators So the while there's a ryan, there's like a there's kind of a ryan clone from australia who does something very similar There's a little russian girl with her dad who does these videos out like in denisha Or something where they live. It's like literally everyone and their mother and this is like one of those kind of Gold rush moments where everyone sees I can make money by doing silly videos that kids will watch Hours on end and I will be able to make money Uh enough that I can quit my day job and just do this full time and no that brings up the question Roger why you haven't done this with your children Believe me could be a millionaire So my my wife basically summed it up in one sentence. It's like we have too much self-respect to Like there is a level of you there's a level of putting yourself out there and looking like a goofball like you know you know you you have to be Of that disposition and I am not you know, okay So this this actually kind of brings up something that you know all of us as producers, you know There's a certain, uh, you know level of quality when you think of video production, right where you go Oh, okay. Well somebody's going the cheap route. Um, but that's not necessarily marketed to kids. It's just you know seo and whatever um How much does it I don't know scare parents when something like this is so popular that isn't necessarily done that well You know, according to you roger. I haven't seen these videos But you know, how much does it? bother you that this is something that a child who's very malleable and and And you know turn is is it's warbing you kind of you You kind of roll your eyes when you first see it because like I said, you're watching someone else's home videos And they're making money off of it Um, the second thing is you kind of relent because your kid keeps quiet and engaged You sit him off your back. So it provides a service It's it's a weird and this is why it's it's both understand about Understandable, but also mystifying like 22 million dollars. So your kid runs around He he's literally stream of consciousness. Oh look. I have a pumpkin that when you smack it It cycles through these led lights Oh, it's like 10 minutes right there Of a of like a 30 minute clip and you have a channel full of these Ryan Ryan told mbc that he is so popular because he's entertaining and fun Well, sure. I mean and he I hope he feels that way It sounds like the you know, the the the execution leaves a little bit to be desired for people who might also It works it works for them. It works for these people. I was bothered by the production actually if all of you I'm just curious if there's going to be child actor like issues with uh, there There will be because a lot of these kids are at the stage where they're very recognizable by other kids Yeah, when they're out and about now if they do the kind of whole winnie from, uh, Not growing pains from uh one years and you disappear for like eight years 10 years and no one knows what happens to you I'm sure you can live a pretty decent life I mean when he said math whiz, she never won anywhere She well, but she wasn't on camera the same way that fred savage continued to be right. Yeah, yeah Well, folks, if you want to get all the time you stay in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to our other show daily tech headlines dot com All right, we got three big 5g stories today uh bloomberg reporting that apple won't release a 5g capable iphone until 2020 That's not a surprise I know that mark german and friends over bloomberg need to do this story It's their due diligence reporting the story, but they did a very good job of pointing out. This is what apple always does Uh, they weren't first on lte. Uh, they didn't come out with a 3g iphone when they first came out with the iphone Even though 3g was around they usually wait for service to become more widespread The question is will this be the time that that's not the right strategy Uh to do will 5g be different because carriers are pouring so much money into prioritizing 5g phones because the speeds are So much faster personally i'm going to put it out there in line I don't think so I think if iphone waits till 2020 for 5g that'll be fine because these networks really won't be Wide spread enough by then if they go faster than I expect man could be wrong samsung However announced it plans to release a 5g capable smartphone sometime in the first half of 2019 and verizon Is going to carry it verizon and samsung are showing off a proof of concept of the phone at qualcom's snapdragon technology summit this week Using the x50 5g modem from qualcom samsung makes its own 5g modem the x nos 5100 But they generally will put that in international markets and use the qualcom Model in in the us and a few other markets And south korean carriers sk telecom kt and lg u plus all launched their 5g networks over the weekend sk telecom ceo park jung ho even made the world's first commercial 5g video call Using a samsung prototype 5g phone now the service is all enterprise if you're an enterprise you can get it If you're a consumer hold on you got to wait to get your 5g service in korea until march So, you know verizon has launched some of their their service 5g nr service We've got the these enterprise level services coming in korea. It's happening 5g is real and it's getting launched And over the course of the next year we're going to see more and more of it getting launched samsung is Obviously out there saying we want to be a put in a prototype in the ceo of sk telecom's hand Working with verizon at the qualcom like yep, absolutely. We're going to have these 5g phones And as I said just a minute ago. I'm not sure that that hurts apple to wait Why am I wrong sir? I don't think you're wrong at all. Um apple is When you think of okay. Well, you know, what is apple at the forefront of you know, it's it's new hardware technology, right? Oh, you know, we we we made a new smartphone that now everybody's going to copy Of course, I'm talking about the iphone that that launched many years ago or the ipad or you know a variety of other Hardware devices when it comes to the infrastructure that can power a new iphone, right? So let's think of you know in terms of a smartphone for 5g apple I don't want to put something out there where it's like the whole 5g thing is 2019 is going to be very interesting for this and yes, you have lots of companies clamoring to be the first But apple doesn't do that. Yeah, and apple doesn't want it to be sort of Confusing and messy they want everyone to understand what 5g is first And then they say we have the best 5g capable iphone Our smartphone rather, you know that happens to be an iphone on the market And and we weren't first but were better because they do that every time with all of their hardware Yeah Because they don't want to sell something on 5g and then have a bunch of their their folks buy it and say well Wait, I don't even get 5g where I'm at Of course they could come out with a 5g version in korea and be just fine because all three carriers just launched it over the weekend So I mean that's that's definitely going to be there. Roger. I'm curious if you think it's a mistake for samsung to come too early I think I think it's a little different because samsung is is also like a national champion in south korea. So There they can have the infrastructure that supports it. So what if other regions don't have it? they'll have it in their in their in their product chain and when those different markets even in the us if You won't get 5g across the country overnight, but you will get it in large metro areas You could definitely start feeding into those regions as well. So for pardon me for them It's like well, we already have the technology we can already use the service You know in our home market Probably adjacent markets as well. So why not just build it and then you know when other markets catch up with the technology We can you know feed into that as well for apple I mean, they're they're working on a on a slightly different premise They're selling services online services and they're selling their phones And if they don't think they can make enough on a return Selling a 5g phone. I mean, there's no point We have a prediction show coming up. So I should save some of this powder. I think but but i'm going to guess that apple comes out with a An lte advanced phone that they claim is faster almost as fast as these 5g phones. You're hearing about we get another Another round of of iPhones aren't selling as fast as they should have And it's because they didn't put 5g in them at the end of next year And then apple comes out with a 5g iPhone the year after and their market share continues to just muddle along where it is period I think that's a pretty good prediction Put it in the show tom.

Hopefully the simple tip will help users in clearing out things that they don't need and also benefit others What a lovely thought john and I had no idea that ebay made it so easy to donate your proceeds Uh, I know some of you will want to keep the money for yourself and that's fine too Uh, but if you're like, yeah, I want to get rid of this stuff, but I had a christmas and you know I don't really need to be a money grubber Uh, or maybe you do maybe maybe need some money to buy those gifts for other people That works too.

I like i like that reference better, but it's still kind of long We have ak TVs, but no regular flights to the moon. What's going on? Let's just make the sentence even longer. I like the sentiment but the the title is getting longer and longer 8k cost 6k and nothing's on What So you're really do you really want the one station? All right, we could also do amazing advances in 5g if you built 5g they will come Ah or you could youtube what you love I Have no favorite I Kind of like the 8k Let's maybe we can um Play off of one of these 8k is no marathon Okay, I mean that's good by okau Maybe i'm being too literal by saying well something's on but not really very much What about turn on the ak content how?

Yes, it has apologized sincerely for that right right, right? I just You know what I try to keep my youtube stars straight Who's just trying to find new experiences for his channel? Oh my goodness.

Yeah, it's I don't know what it's for Um, who was in the fall guy by the way the tv show that was lee majors It was yeah, it was his first show after six million dollar man. I think One of his yeah, his big name show because he was the star but also he sang The theme song to the show He did yes, and that's why it's really bad. It's really bad He didn't write it. He just sang it This is uh wikipedia's uh description of the fall guy Hollywood stuntman colt Severs picks up some extra pocket money by using his rough and tumble skills to track and capture ball jumpers Helped by his green younger cousin howie and jody a beautiful stunt colleague But yeah, bail jumpers because they're Bail jumpers Not ball jumpers. Oh, no Not illegal The fall guy Yeah, see the fall guy was one of those shows where it was like it was too Mature for me like I didn't really understand it, but I knew that it was a cool show It was weird that it overlapped A lot of the popular 80s genre primetime genres. It had the a team It had the buddy cop show Yeah had a bit of the p.i private investigation detective So that was all kind of morphed into like a two fisted like i'm gonna punch my way out of this situation That's good. That's what they do. They either drive or they punched their way out of all the bad situations It's kind of like simon and simon, uh, but a little more lowbrow Simon and simon. Oh now we're real going back Or you could the fall guy premiered in 1981 which is Earlier than I thought okay, so let's look at simon and simon I liked Wanted to like the fall guy because there's a huge six million dollar man fan But I didn't really like it how much I liked it because it was silly I also like the fact that it was one of the few shows that is a duke's a hazard Where the cars regularly jumped over another car. Okay, so simon and simon's first episode date was also in 1981 Uh, there's a banner year for television 1981 apparently so Do you guys remember that song?

Yeah, I know I used to play it off the eddy rabbit greatest hits albums This was yeah, it was It was uh one of the first um I don't know like adult songs. I remember as a very little kid being like, I love the song. Yay Did you consider an adult song just something that was like an adult radio thing? Yeah, something that wasn't like Uh, I don't know um a disneyed Album or yeah, exactly. Yeah, something something that was a top 40 song that like my parents were listening to on the radio Like I remember the first album my sister ever bought and there was a brian adams That was at summer 69 the one with oh, yeah, wonderful song one of the best But it had tower records when they were still around My first album I ever bought was john benvers greatest hits volume two He didn't even get the first well volume. We already had oh Yeah, can I add this to the collection? Uh, my sister made fun of me She's like really because mom and dad are like pick out an album Then you can get your first album and and so I picked it out and my sister's like really that's what you're gonna pick That's gonna be your first album for the rest of your life and she was so right And and that's I mean you can't change your first album Nope, that's what it was I don't remember what my first full album was because there were definitely like There were like muppet albums and sort of like kids stuff, but um, I had a fisher price record player You know, um, I definitely remember that my two first 45s were nine to five by deli parton And tied as high by blondie. This this is my first 45. I have it right here What is it? You're not my bad company Ooh They don't make 45s anymore. Do they I don't know. Do they not I know they make vinyl There's a story about the vinyl process has been improved improved Because vinyl sales are so good. Yeah, but vinyl 45 sales. I don't think exist Yeah, well, I don't know you maybe absolutely I'm actually somebody who's who's uh, you know, like a LP or or a dj area somebody who knows would would be able to school us on this, but yeah, I I don't even I haven't seen a 45 Do they still make the 78s? What about those 8 tracks? 16s those were rare Barely getting by Barely salt taking and no giving Loved it Yeah, I mean between nine to five and tied as high which are like weirdly very similar songs I don't think my parents did that on purpose um, but uh Yeah, I mean for like a solid year I mean, they must have hated me. That's all I played over and over For 12 hours a day in my bedroom But okay, I just did the chat room said I'll pay you $20 right now if you can reach out screen and produce a thimble All my thimbles are in the other room You've figured out something that tom does not have it his fingertips. I've always said it's a magic trick I can't I can never do it on demand. It's it's me working into the conversation the thing I have at hand Tam and I really wish I had it What's the purpose of a thimble? I think about it when you protect your thumb when you're running the needle through your whatever Okay, I was a non sewer. I don't know these things. I know what a thimble is, but I don't know really why I didn't know how to sew until junior high when But I do it all the time Declared you don't know how to sew it's like I don't know how to sew I don't know how to sew buttons Nope Buttons, I just know how to sew buttons. That's really just what I this hasn't happened in a long time But when I've Attempted to put a button back on a sweater, you know, whatever I just go around so many times that just won't fall off again, but it's not correct sewing I don't know how to actually put I I darn socks and my method is awful and it would Make someone who knows how to properly darn socks pale roll their eyes. Yeah And it keeps my socks nice and unholy Roger Maybe you should I don't think there's enough fabric on the Thomas buck here Okay, I could just open the plastic and release the 12 new pairs or eight new pairs Well, I I only lose there I would I don't do it for wool socks. I don't do it for special socks like Roger Special socks are just the problem is if you get a bunch of white just the athletic socks they tend to be too thick For the summer and then they you know, I don't know socks are weird socks are weird Because although every once in a while I will buy socks that are thick in the way that you're describing Because the shoes I want to wear them with are tiny bit too big And it kind of works itself out You can't layer socks the way you would layer a top which kind of sucks too hot. Yeah, you know Yeah, I mean unless it's like crazy cold outside you never layer socks You cut off the toe part and then it just warms your legs I just wool socks are just so good and I wear them half the year and I I usually buy a new pair every year as the old ones do wear out But I got to the point where I'm like, well, this is silly to just throw away A otherwise perfect pair of um because there's a little hole Yeah, so I like I could keep them and they it worked it works great And now that I've caught up, you know, like I've patched up the thin places and stuff I don't have to darn them nearly as often as I was last year darn those socks It's where they Like a police and a fire man too hot Oh my god, it's like I'm missing to a live show Oh It's a punchy Monday.
