 It's my name to I do not see John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith. That's my name too. His name is my name too. It was one of the one songs that I hated singing. So whenever we go out it never made any sense to me either. It's just a people on my show. I don't hate it. I was just like why is this a song? Like this isn't even enjoyable. It feels more like you know something you're being punished. I always wondered when you're supposed to stop. Like because the class would stop and it would still keep going in my head. Like it was my first earworm. Like what? 99 bottles of beer on the wall. Well at least that one has a definite stop. We can't start going negative beer. But you're so sick of it before it stops. Second verse same as the first. Henry VIII. I am Henry VIII. That always reminds me of the movie Ghost. Remember that scene? Oh yeah. Where he's bugging whoopee and he's like because she's like you're a ghost. I'm not paying attention to you and he's like no you can hear me and I'm going to sing Henry VIII and finally she just breaks out and is like okay I'll help you.

This is the Daily Tech News for Monday, March 18, 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Feline, I'm Sarah Lane. And from Elsewhere in the LA County area, I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. Our intern Amos is alongside as well. Good day Amos. Hello. We are going to talk about some thin tech stuff later on. From the perspective of here's some stuff you guys should be aware of that maybe you're not aware of. It's not only a big part of the tech industry but it has effects that sometimes people aren't even allowed to talk about. So let's start with a few tech things you should know. Apple announced updated iPads on Monday. A new iPad mini has an A12 bionic processor, support for the older Lightning Connected Apple Pencil, Touch ID and a true tone display starting at $399. A new iPad Air has an A12 processor, Apple's Pencil support, Touch ID and a smart keyboard support starting at $499. Both use Apple's Lightning Connector and offer Wi-Fi or LTE models. Facebook said it took down 1.5 million videos worldwide of footage from the Christ Church New Zealand shooting within 24 hours of the attack. 1.2 million of them were blocked at upload. The Washington Post reports YouTube found its detection of video was ineffective, leading YouTube Chief Product Officer Neil Mowen to bypass human moderators and use an AI solution to quickly block videos. Mowen also decided to temporarily disable searching for recent uploads and keyword completions. In its forthcoming IPO, Lyft will offer $30.8 million shares at $62 to $68, each seeking to raise a total of $2.1 billion, according to a new regulatory filing. According to sources, speaking to Bloomberg, the company would be valued between $21 billion and $23 billion post-IPO. Let's talk a little bit about my space. Unless you already saw this story, you probably weren't expecting me to say that, but music, photos, videos, anything you uploaded to MySpace between 2003 and 2015 may no longer be accessible due to what the company told the BBC was the fault of a server migration project. Now, that's news today because people noticed. Ars Technica reports MySpace admitted the fact to some users seven or eight months ago, but not that many people really cared. Back in its heyday, MySpace was a bit like SoundCloud, where smaller artists uploaded music often found followings on the platform. Previously, the company said it was working on a fix when music links on MySpace stopped working. If you're worried this could happen somewhere else where you stored a lot of media, Corey Doctrow at Boing Boing notes that the Internet Archive hosts anything freely, distributable, for free, forever, and has mirrors for their servers in California, Egypt, and Amsterdam. That sounds like something, Tom, you might remind people as well. Yeah, well, I think Corey Doctrow may be the person who tipped me out to archive.org years ago, but yeah, I am frequently telling people about archive.org, especially if you're a small podcaster just getting started. It's a great place to host your podcast. I haven't used MySpace in many years. I was active on it back in the day before Facebook came along. I actually dwindled my use on MySpace, not really to jump over to Facebook. There was a lull that I had where I think a lot of people literally left MySpace for Facebook, so I was a little bit different in that regard. Didn't host a lot of content there. Can't even remember if there were photos that were on MySpace of mine that weren't elsewhere, so it doesn't totally matter. But yeah, I mean, it was a big part of a lot of people's lives, social lives, certainly for a long time. And it's kind of funny that the company said for so long, yeah, we're working on it. And then finally it was like, yeah. Well, and archive.org famously has the project that'll let you go back and look at what websites looked like back years ago. So theoretically, some of that stuff might still be available that way. But no one told the archive project that this was happening, unlike Google Plus, where the archive.org is out there actively trying to save as much of Google Plus as possible before it gets taken down by Google. They didn't know this happened because MySpace didn't tell anybody, which makes a lot of people wonder, was it a mistake or was it just not caring and saying, I don't think anybody cares about this old stuff. It sure is a whole lot easier to migrate the server if we just delete it. That would be quite an assumption. Not that I would put it past any company to just be like, yeah, we don't care anymore. But yeah, I can't imagine that usage was high enough that they thought that there would be too much outrage. But there would be outrage if this happened to Facebook. Now, of course, Facebook is a completely different company. It's a whole new world that we're living in. But I think people use it. Right. And Corey and others make good points that, sure, this happened to MySpace, which is not in wide use anymore. But if it did happen to a social network or some sort of a platform that you do have a lot of media on, what's your alternative? You kind of want to assume that this will happen to your favorite network and have a backup plan. It may not even be a good reminder, but it's a reminder that if you're not storing your stuff, there's a risk it could go away. A study sponsored by Apple assessing whether the pulse sensor on Apple Watch Series 1, 2, and 3 can pick up rhythm irregularities found only 34% of participants received an alert of an irregular pulse on their watch and then went on to have a confirmed case of atrial fibrillation. But the study preceded Apple Series 4 Watch, which includes an electrocardiograph and features monitoring heart activity. The study monitored almost 420,000 people, so it's pretty big sample size. 25,000 of whom were 65 years old or older, generally the highest risk of age groups. The watch has prompted users to set up a telemedicine consultation with a doctor that was involved in the study if something was detective. And then the notified users could then get a separate ECS patch to record their heart's electrical rhythms for comparison with watch data. Yeah. There's a little bit of debate over whether the 34% is good or bad. Detecting a sign of atrial fibrillation because it is so intermittent doesn't mean you would necessarily find it again the next week. So that's not a big deal. Some folks are saying, you know what? For a wearable watch that also is meant for listening to your podcast, not bad. Other doctors are saying, yeah, not bad. But if you don't want people relying on this and having a bunch of false positives and flooding your doctor's office with people who are anxious and upset, and then it turns out to be nothing. So it is kind of on that border of whether this is entirely useful medically or not. But that said, this is a study to kind of say, hey, was the previous version of the watch good at this? It's pretty close. Maybe the next version will be better. Or maybe somebody else will come along with something that's even better out there. But it's progress. It's good progress towards being able to monitor your own heart health more easily, for sure. Yeah. I definitely side with the false positive is better than not detecting something that could be extremely dangerous for my health. I definitely, I empathize, or sympathize, I guess, with doctors who might be unnecessarily busy with a bunch of people, hypochondriacs who are like, my watch said I'm going to die. And that is a really valid point. There's no reason to scare people if you don't have to. But as the article pointed out, the study was conducted before Apple's series four, which is designed to be better at this type of thing. 34% to me is, okay, it's less than half of the time, correct. But Well, 34% of the time someone experienced the atrial fibrillation again within the next week. That's actually, you know, because atrial fibrillation is so intermittent, as I said, that's actually not small. Because people who legitimately felt it might not have it again for another week. And this would have been an accurate reading, but it was missed. So it's, there's a lot of stats that can lead you astray if you try to use common sense. You really do, this is why you need medical practitioners to help you guide through this to go like, well, 34% might not sound like big, but it's bigger than it seems. Also, false positives can be dangerous. If you get a false positive in certain conditions, not necessarily this one, they can lead to treatment methods that cause side effects that you wouldn't have needed to experience otherwise. So you do want to get this stuff right. That said, I don't think this is a bad thing at all because it's research because it's saying, Hey, let's look at this. And there aren't too many downsides. Yeah, I think overall, we seem to be heading in the right direction. Watches are getting better at helping us stay healthy. And that's good. OneWeb has raised $1.25 billion in funding in order to assure it will launch its global high speed broadband network in 2021. They said, we always targeted 2021, but having this latest round, make sure we're going to do it. OneWeb successfully launched its first satellites last month. Investors include SoftBank, the government of Irwanda, Coca-Cola, Qualcomm, Richard Branson's Virgin Group, among many others. OneWeb said it can now start monthly satellite launches by the end of the year. It needs at least 650 units in orbit for minimum global coverage. They think they might want to have around a 2,000 up there. And they're not the only company doing it. SpaceX, probably the most famous that has ambitions to do this, and Luxembourg-based Leosat also pursuing this. But OneWeb has the first mover advantage, whether that's good or not. We talk about how it isn't always necessarily good. But in something as difficult as satellite broadcasts, it might be. And the reason someone like the government of Irwanda wants to back this is it's targeted at rural areas and developing countries where it is difficult to roll out infrastructure, but the benefits of having connectivity can be great. It's too bad that the companies can't all band together to provide better coverage right out of the gate. But that's, you know, you could say that like, you know, cell carrier. But then wouldn't you be sitting there saying, like, why don't we have more competition? There's only this one company and they all provided it. It's just a really complicated thing, I think. Yeah. I sort of imagined like satellites with Coca-Cola stickers on the side. You know, you're not going to be able to see any of this stuff. It's something that, you know, Coca-Cola can say we're providing, you know, internet access to, you know, every inch of the world. But yeah, I have to admit, I haven't thought about OneWeb in a while, but it certainly has, you know, big companies behind it. And quite honestly, SpaceX hasn't talked much about their satellite initiative lately, at least not anything that, you know, we've covered on the show or that's really jumped out to me. Well, SpaceX is busy with manned missions, right? So I'm not going to fault them for that. They have other ambitions as well. And they want to get the Dragon capsule working and start to do regular private launches. And then they'll start launching their own satellites. So I have no doubt we'll be hearing from them shortly. Somebody else we'll be hearing from shortly is Apple. The New York Times reports more on the alleged culture clash between TV and movie producers and Apple. One new complaint being reported is that Apple is too controlling in how its products are shown. Shocker, can't imagine. There's also a reprise of the complaints that Apple is uncommunicative about release dates and marketing plans. Previously, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was resistant to content deemed mature in the programming it's commissioning. And one week on March 25th, we will likely find out at least a little bit more directly from Apple about its two dozen series and handful of movies in the works. Yeah, we'll be talking about this next Monday, I'm sure. But I did find it really struck a chord. Having done some sponsored videos in the past, worked at companies like CNET that had vendor involved videos being produced around me, and the particularness that clients can have when they're paying for something in how their product is put. Just pulling something out of popular culture right now, you see the Microsoft surface everywhere, right? I'm sure there's lots of discussions with the NFL about how to properly show the surface being used on the sidelines. And certainly in more controlled circumstances where the surface is put into a show, I bet Microsoft has all kinds of opinions about how that's supposed to work. Now imagine that it's not just Microsoft paying for placement of their products, but Microsoft actually directly funding the content itself and showing up and saying, Hey, Steven, we noticed you used the iPhone in your amazing story episode, but you didn't really show off to best advantage. That's a fight that was bound to happen for sure. Yeah, I'm also impressed that Apple has possibly 24 series in the works, and I know that they're not all going to launch on the same day that would be crazy. But that's a lot of content. I bring it on. I need a new series. Actually, I don't. I can't get through the ones I'm watching already, but I want a new series. Stanford announced the launch of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. It's an interdisciplinary hub for researchers and students to work toward a human set of values for AI and as a resource for politicians and policymakers to understand more about how AI actually works. The Institute aims to raise a billion dollars for research, cloud processing, and blurring talent from other startups to work at it. Advisory Board includes former Alphabet or Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, former Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Meyer, Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang. If you're like, Hey, I wondered what all those people were up to lately. Well, now they're working on the board at least part of the time for the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. OpenAI was started with similar ideas of helping us explore ethically viable uses for AI. So it's good to see more of these kinds of organizations coming into being. What would we think besides ethics, which in general, people agree on codes of ethics in general? Around AI, though, that's where it does get debatable. But sure, we talk about a human-based value system. What are we talking about? Well, that's the thing. You say we all agree, murder is bad. I said in general, some people think murder is cool, but not many. I think it's fair to say most people we care about think murder is bad. It's the edge cases where it's like, yeah, but what if we used AI to remotely monitor the guns? And someone's like, no, not okay at all. You don't want them in any way connected to a firearm where others are like, look, monitoring the guns and allowing someone that's human to come in and make sure before they start firing, I mean, that's okay. Or if a human says, oh, put that spread pattern over there against that enemy, that's okay, right? I think that those little border cases is where it gets weird. And that's just, I'm just bringing up military because that's the easiest one for people to wrap their heads around. That's probably not even the majority of these conversations. They're about using it so that you don't manipulate people. I mean, that's one of the big fears is that AI will get so smart that it can just trick me by, you know, maneuvering the levers of what I like and my motivations into doing things that are against my best interests. Also, not one, but two former Yahoo folks as sitting at the board. Yeah, yeah. Or are they, have they been replaced by artificial intelligence? Oh, his new Jerry Yang was a little off. He was just a little too smart. Folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, be sure to subscribe to DailyTechHeadlines.com. E-commerce has driven up the value of card payment processing. You see all around you easier than ever instant payment options, like Venmo, for instance. That's the most popular. Billion-dollar companies you've likely never heard of are breaking in the profits because of this increased use. And it's also likely not great for your local community bank or federal credit union. Every time you tap to pay for coffee or maybe send money to an overseas vendor, maybe you bought something from a store that's in a different continent or you bought something on eBay, even just backing us on Patreon, there are companies making money on handling the complex back end of a transaction that involves much more than your bank and whoever you're paying. We've talked in the past about how Apple Pay worked and you start to realize when you dig into how this transaction works and where your information is going that it is not as simple as, I put in my credit card, the credit card company then sends money to the merchant and I pay the credit card company. There are all kinds of authorizations and different companies handling different parts of those authorizations in between that I know a couple of people in our audience that work in the financial industry know of, but most people don't. That's why you likely glazed over the story about Fidelity National Information Services agreeing to buy World Pay for $35 billion because you're like, who are they? But McKinsey predicts that global payments, this back end system between what you see and what your merchants see is set to reach $3 trillion in revenue by 2023. That's not $3 trillion in what you're sending. That's the money that these companies bring in with their cut of the transactions. That's why the industry is quickly consolidating at a time when a lot of industries are holding off on consolidation because of uncertainty around trade situations in the world right now. World Pay just merged with Vantiv last year in advance of this new acquisition that they're doing with Fidelity National Investments and back in January, Pfizer bought a payment processor called First Data Corp for $22 billion. The other thing to realize about this is these companies have ironclad rules over how you can get your payments processed with them. If you are a company like PayPal or even Patreon or eBay or somebody that wants to process payments through them, you have to follow their rules and you generally can't talk about it. You generally can't tell anybody if the payment processor makes you do something that the payment processor made you do it. In addition, because we're all starting to use more of these payments processors, we're keeping less money in our local bank. Now, if we're keeping our money in a big multinational bank probably doesn't impact them as much, but your local community bank, your credit union, those companies, those banks are starting to see fewer deposits and something called deposit displacement. One thing that accounts for this are health savings accounts. That's something we have in the U.S. where you can take a part of your paycheck and socket aside to be used for tax-free spending on your healthcare, but there's also those peer-to-peer payments like Venmo or SquareCash. Venmo processed $64 billion last year. SquareCash processed $30 billion last year. A lot of times, when you get the money, you just leave it there until you want to pay somebody back. You don't put it in your bank. Merchant apps like the Starbucks app account for about $2 billion, just sitting in that app waiting for you to go and use that Starbucks card to buy a coffee. Then there are things that may be new to you like RoboAdvisorTools. RoboAdvisorTools are new startup services that say you put $1,000 here and tell us how risky you want us to be. We'll decide where to put it. A lot of 401ks do this, but then other services, you can just do that with your own money. ATKarnia estimates $2 trillion will be active in that industry by 2020. There's also these new Robinhood, Acorn, Stash, MoneyLion, Chime. These are all different takes on being versions of banks. They're generally not banks themselves, but they will like auto-invest your money or they'll provide you more insight into your spending with the guarantee that you'll save more money because you'll know more about how you spend your money. $5.6 billion going into savings and investment apps like Acorn and Stash, $1.7 billion going into Neobanks like MoneyLion and Chime. Point being, FinTech, Sarah, is not just some fancy buzzword. It's a billion-dollar industry that's happening largely out of the sight of what you do each day. Yes. Besides the whole concept of the mom and pop, whatever, it's a bank in this situation is being crushed by this new technology. It's like, okay, well, that's always a little bit of a, look at how the modern world is changing things around the main street. However, having more options in this case is a huge win for me, certainly on my life. I don't use all of the services that you just listed off, but I use a lot of them. And I also have, as of late, you have somebody who's like, I don't like Venmo. Can you cash app me? Yeah, sure. I've got that on my phone. Oh, I don't use cash app. Can you Zelle me? Yeah, sure, I've got that on my phone. It's like, it's a little bit of a, okay, who wants what and how do you do it? And do we have compatible OSs and that whole thing? There's a little bit of that going on. But for the most part, when I forget my wallet to go grab a coffee, boy, am I glad Apple Pay is out the register. And I understand that merchants sometimes have a little bit more complications on their end, sometimes more fees on their end. And yeah, I guess it's probably a nuisance more than anything that they can't mumble and grumble about it or have to jack up prices that end up being passed on to us. But I don't know, I find it hard to be outraged at all of the convenience that my life is enjoying with the adoption of these services. And trust me, I'm the last person who wants you to be more outraged. That is certainly not my point at all. My point is, you should be aware without being outraged about what's happening out there because I think a lot of folks don't realize that when they're using these apps or using even just their credit card, there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. And when merchants do things that are odd, like say, I'm not taking money from that person or that region anymore, a lot of times we blame the merchants when it may be the payment processor that's decided at too risky, not going to take it, not going to do it. And also you can't say that it's our decision. That happens out there. And also, when you want to transfer money, especially if you're doing remittances overseas, the fees can vary wildly, just depending on where you're sending it and what these payment processors have decided that day is going to be the best way to route it and charge for it. So it's a much more complex situation behind the scenes. I don't have an explanation of that today, but I just thought it would be interesting to hang on the news hook of this acquisition, the awareness that you've got tens of billions of dollars out there happening even though it's only taking fractions of a cent from your particular transaction because we have so many of these transactions happening now. The scale is gargantuan. I'm not sure when all y'all were last in a bank branch, but I was in one recently because I had to take out some money and there was a time was of the essence and it was too much to do online because for security reasons, there are weekly and daily caps depending on what service you use, but most of them have various caps. The place was bustling and I don't know what everybody else was doing there, but it was like I had to go into a physical bank and talk to somebody to make what I needed to happen happen. I have a huge bank. I banked with one of the most biggest banks in the world, so it's definitely not a local credit union that I was in. It might be a little bit different in the smaller banks, but I don't see branches going away anytime soon. They probably just will cater to more situations like the one that I was in. For the big banks, that's very true because it is cost effective to continue to operate those branches for various reasons that they can absorb the cost of because they can do so many different things. Whereas your credit union, which may have six or seven branches, might have a harder time justifying that because they just don't have the economy of scale for it. Exactly.

All right, let's check in with Chris Christensen, the amateur traveler who's got a personal account this week on facial recognition in US airports. Chris Christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute. Last week on the show, you discussed facial recognition systems in airports. And there's certainly some creepy things about that, although it's interesting to note that just last summer, facial recognition systems in the US airports caught the first imposter, somebody who did not match their passport. And it was caught with an automatic system, didn't try to be a terrorist or something, but it was somebody trying to sneak in the country. But I'd like to compare it with the system we had before. My son used to get stopped at security all the time because his name, Mike Christensen, which is not an uncommon name, was on the list of people who were on the no fly list. Well, my son was 10. And so really, just a simple look at a photograph probably would have fixed that. So maybe the old system we're replacing also had some flaws. I'm Chris Christensen from amateur traveler. Yes, not all systems are perfect for sure. That's really interesting, Chris. Thank you for that. All right, let's finish up with a couple emails from the mailbag. Yeah, we got an email from Tony. You might have noticed if you watched our video version of Friday's show that Patrick Norton looked amazing. Well, he always looks amazing, but the quality of his picture had the rest of us kind of drooling and asking lots of questions. So Tony says, I'm a Sony Sony camera user, Patrick was using a Sony camera as well. I have an A6300 for lighter photo projects and video. I also have a much more expensive full frame Sony, but the A6000 series cameras are great. However, I wanted to point out if you're considering one and Tom said that he might be the A6400 just just came out would probably be ideal. It includes 4k, better autofocus, unlimited video recording limit with improved battery efficiency and less overheating issues. A little bit more expensive, but still very affordable as far as nice cameras go at 900 for the body only. With a kit lens, it's a little bit more, but I get the body only and spend a little extra cash for a nicer lens. The kit lens, not that sharp and the small and variable maximum aperture makes it harder to use in low light, just my unsolicited advice. Thank you, Tony. Good stuff. And Andrew added one thing that can get left out when discussing the breakup of Facebook, the potential breakup of Facebook and other monopolies is the rules around their interaction after being split up. If Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram were technically three separate companies, but they still gave each other special treatment, essentially still acting as one, then nothing is gained. About a decade ago, the New Zealand government split up the country's largest telco into three, infrastructure, retail and business wholesale. But the key was they could not give each other special deals. Any wholesale rates offered to their sister retailer had to also be available to every other internet retailer. And now we have dozens of internet providers in every city, all paying dues to the infrastructure company. It's a win-win. If Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram were separate companies, it would be interesting to know what trade rules would be in place to ensure that they actually created competition. Yeah, good point. Yeah, especially when the pivot to privacy from Zuckerberg last week was, I'm going to make sure Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram all interoperate on messaging. Indistinguishable, in fact. One could conceive that if that were to happen at post breakup, they would have to offer that integration to other messaging apps outside of the former Facebook family. Oh, wouldn't that be interesting? Girl can dream. Thanks, everybody who emails us. And thanks to everybody who supports DTNS. We love you all.

Do we have daylight saving time? Did that, we should double, we should make sure. If you look at 2030 UTC online, it converts to 4.30 p.m. Eastern. Got it. And also last daylight savings, we said 2030 for like eight months. Right now it's 2100. So 2030 is correct. It's wrong in the template. How did that happen? It's all right. I don't care what it says. I just say it right. I mean, we've been doing this for two weeks. I was just like, every time I'm like, change the template, Sarah, change the template. But I just know what to say. So I just keep not changing it. I don't know. But we, we, we were saying it right before also now it's wrong in all the show notes. So we got to go back and change. Oh shoot. I forgot about that. I was thinking that no one knew the mistake except us. No, everybody sees these lineups because they become the public schooner. Yeah, it's 20. And then standard time is 21. This is my, this is my, you know, it's, it's. So, so what happened was we changed the template the wrong direction. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was correct. Well, because, because you think we're springing forward. So it makes sense, but it UTC is crazy. It doesn't work that way. UTC doesn't move. That's the, that's the thing. Right. All right. So yeah, it said 21 30 on March 8th, and it should have gone to 2030. And instead we did 22 in the template. All right. That's all fixed math. Good. Again, Tom, if we just get rid of time zones. Right. Seriously. We should get rid of the metric system. That's one thing I don't like. The metric system is the argument. I knew I'd get Roger on my side. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. I just don't, I just don't understand who would ever want to use the metric system. Most of the world. Gosh, you're, you're so easy to rattle up. Did you get upset when you were teased as a child? Not only about the metric system. I think all kids get upset when they get to use about the metric system. Yeah. I know I see adults where I'm like, you got to learn to get teased a little bit more. I know. I know. But you know, but I'm not talking about you. The metric system is just, you know, it's just sort of a sad system. The metric system is that one thing where I'm like, that's how I feel about standard versus daylight time. It's one of those things where I will get, I will get unnecessarily riled up when someone gets it wrong. I think too. The fact, like the daylight saving time aspect of this mistake that we were just talking about is what angers me. I'm like, we just need one time zone. And so when Amos said, this is why we shouldn't have time zones, and I was like, yes, standardization. And then you immediately were like, I wish we didn't have that big standard. I was like, ah, that's the opposite. Sometimes I say things specifically to upside you. Who gets to be certain? We got some great titles today. Oh yeah. What do we got in here? Number one would be MySpace, misplaced by Mixtape. I love the alliteration. Yeah, that's good. Feel the beat of the rhythm of the heart. Apple watches my heart. That's pretty good. Eld Barge, right? Yeah. That's correct. I don't even know where that came from. How do I know that? Tapping doesn't always pay. How do I know the song, right? He also did Who's Johnny? Who's Johnny? Oh yeah. We're at Short Circuit. Is that from Short Circuit? Yeah. Okay, that's what I thought. Oh my gosh, that's so funny. Which if you haven't watched those in a while, go back and try to do about 15, 20 minutes of one of the Short Circuit movies. Oh, they're not good. I mean, the first one really is the only one. A lot of movies don't age well. But Short Circuit in particular is almost unwatchable. Short Circuit 2 wasn't impressive to me then. I can't imagine it would have aged better. But my brother loved the original Short Circuit. The first Short Circuit isn't... I actually still like it because it's very 80s. 2 is just bad even for when it was released. That's what I was saying. But the... Yeah, I don't think going back and watching Short Circuit 2 makes your point. You got to watch Short Circuit 1 to just realize just how badly it aged. I remember how old I was when Short Circuit came out because I remember we watched it in like... Well, maybe when it came to VHS because we watched it in school one day. I don't know why. I mean, it's offensive, but not for the obvious reasons. But I don't know. I liked it. It was very much of the... There were a lot of offensive 80s movies that just sort of went over our heads at the time. Howard the Duck. Remember that movie? That was another Allie Sheedy movie. Yeah. Short Circuit also had that. That was like... And the Ferris Bueller principle. He was in that, right? Yeah, because he played the villain. Yeah. I loved Howard the Duck. I thought it was amazing. I never knew it was a comic book, but I just loved the movie. Oh, it was a terrible movie. Terrible movie. Oh, but it was very popular with kids. They all loved that movie. I didn't realize it was a comic book until just now. A series out of it. Allie Sheedy was an X-Men apocalypse. She was. I didn't watch that one. What did we go with? My Space? Ms. Placement? I put My Space, Ms. Placement, Mixtape in the Dock. I will always put the title in the Dock for you. Thank you, Dad. Tom Merritt, our father. Who art? Over here. Who art? Who art in the Dock. Who art in the Valley? How will it be thy house? Tom, if you don't mind, I'm going to throw a quick plug out there. I've got Rich Strafolino of Daily Take Headlines on Rich and Misery with me this week. Now, what if I hadn't marked it? Well, then I would just, you know, was it act first? Ask for forgiveness afterwards. Yes. How you get what you want. Don't ask for permission. Ask for forgiveness. Yeah, thankfully, would have been totally fine with that, even if I had known ahead of time. That's awesome. Yeah. So, I might be able to get a little unfiltered Rich Strafolino on Thursday night. Woo-hoo. Find out the secrets behind one of your favorite Daily Take Headlines hosts. Yes. Well, I mean, your favorite on Monday and Friday anyway. Yeah, Tuesday and Thursday, obviously the best days. Yeah. Wednesday is your pinnacle. I mean, it's right there in the middle of the week. Just holding on, keeping everybody balanced. Yeah, I hadn't thought about the pyramid aspect of that. Tom Merritt, the news hump. Why haven't I gone by that before now? I don't know. Possibly. You can have that one for free. Oh, yeah. I see a new Twitter tagline coming. Wow. Oh, it could be a podcast show, the news hump. Maybe I'll change the name of editor's desk. There you go. Yeah. Well, did you all have good St. Patrick's days? You know, I didn't celebrate in any way. Didn't wear green. Didn't drink any beer. Um, but I had a nice day yesterday. Did a lot of OS 10 upgrading. Felt good. It's a great way. Felt like I got some stuff done. Yeah. Like the ancient Celts. Yeah. I celebrated my heritage in the best way possible. My family would have been very proud. It was like my forefathers did. Did you do it in an awkward skirt? I wonder around your house. Okay. No, no, I didn't. I didn't wear a skirt. I believe you rounded it out. No, no, no. But I did play a bagpipe the entire time. Well, it's okay. Or you got carling. Eating corned beef. Updating. Oh, I told these guys before that we started recording. I went to a British pub and had corned beef and cabbage on the 16th. Okay. I just, yeah, I just like thumbed my nose at the whole concept. Yeah. I don't like St. Patrick's Day. And it's not, I don't dislike the concept of St. Patrick's Day, but it is amateur hour if you're going out and about, at least in my experience. I don't want to go to a bar on St. Patrick's Day. People are drunk at 4 p.m. and acting silly. And the fact that it fell on a Sunday this year is like even worse, because then you can really be like drunk at 4 p.m. We were going to get sushi yesterday on St. Patrick's Day. And then the place we parked to investigate the sushi place ended up having a really cool looking pizza place. So we're like, hmm, pizza sounds pretty good. And it was not crazy. Like it was not full of, you know, amateurs. So we ended up going into a pub and having pizza on St. Patrick's Day. And I had a cider. Well, that sounds nice. Was the pizza good? It was. It was really good. There you go. I would go back. I missed the Shamrock shake. You missed it? Yeah. I don't know why I always get one every... What is it? What's the flavor? Sugar. Oh, the flavor. Yeah, I don't... Is there another flavor besides sweetness? Is it like minty or because it's green or no? I never had one. It's just kind of like, it's like cream to mint, but without the alcohol. The alcohol. So it's minty. All right. I played Civilization 6 with my son for pretty much the entire day. That sounds fun. It was. We shall build up the world and destroy it together. Well, he was brand new to Civ 6, so it was kind of, you know, greening him in. Does that count? I think that counts. Did it hit Ireland at all? Or no? No, I played France by a random selection. And I don't know who he's playing yet because we haven't encountered each other in-game. Well, who knows? Maybe... I thought you were going to say you played the English and you invaded Ireland and starved them. Like, oh, that's perfect. True to history. Not so much. Come out, you blackened hands. Friend of mine who grew up in Boston, who's Italian. He was like, Saint Patrick's Day is the day that Italians don't go outside. Because Irish and Italian people sometimes clash, especially in a town like Boston. I was like, really? And he was like, oh yeah, like Saint Patrick's Day is like you hide. Like it's a day of hiding. I was like, huh, that's not what we did in Sebastopol. We just wore green. Grew apples. And grew apples. And sometimes ate green apples. I did stumble across a odd conversation between two Lowe's employees about whether or not the female employee should pinch the male employee due to his not wearing green. That was very awkward. I didn't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day. Eileen was wearing green by accident. Like we sat down to eat. And she's like, hey, I'm actually wearing green. I didn't even plan that. And I said, pinch me. I went through a brief period. I was very young. But I definitely believed that leprechauns existed. And I wanted three wishes. And so I would like... I thought you just got the gold. You get three wishes? I don't know. I mean, there's probably lots of versions of the story. In my version, if you find a four-leaf clover, a leprechaun will appear and you get three wishes. Sure. And I already knew what my wishes were going to be. Like I had thought it through like at age six, like extensively. And so it was like on Saint Patrick's Day, it was like hanging out around clovers looking for them, like calling to the leprechaun. Like I really did this. I think at some point my parents were like, this is unhealthy. Like there's no leprechaun. Like there just isn't. This isn't going to happen. Get out of the weeds. I've been weary of wishes ever since I started playing D&D. I just, people make wishes for their birthday. And I'm like, yeah, you sure you're asking for what you want? Be careful. It's like a contract. My brother texted me, my sister and my mom yesterday. If we have a small amount of Irish heritage, does that make us leprechauns? Because you'd be small? And my sister responded, no, it makes us Irish. Partially. To which I responded, 23 and me says I'm Irish and anybody who disagrees could fight me. Definitely Irish. And my mom just kind of bowed out at the conversation at that point. It's funny on a group text. You can always tell the person who's just like, I don't like this conversation because like 20 things will go back and forth and they just never chime in. And you know that it's not because they're busy. They're just like, you're dumb. Sometimes that person is me. I'm on a lot of group texts. Well, speaking of bowing out, how about we say goodbye to our video folks? Yes. Well, starting at such sweet sorrow. Thank you, video. We'll begin tomorrow though. Audio folks, stick around though. There's more to come.
