 Good and they approved my expense report. So that's awesome. There you go. No questions on the expense report and we and we are golden. Yay Yeah, it was fun Well, I I think we have good stuff. I think we have a gunna have a fun show today. What I I Are you sure well now you you've you've unmasked me, Sarah Reaction Which is like in the wake and before an Apple announcement sometimes it can be a little rough But I like the stuff we have in the show. Oh, didn't even tell you guys guess who stayed up till midnight. Oh, right? Yeah, I Phone I ordered What about watch just phone or watch just phone? Yeah, I'm not ready for you get the 10 Max I got the max and I got it in gold So max for the minimum the middle. I got I got I got the I'm the middle child. I'm Which is what my phone is now Medium price. Yeah, it's never the same iPhone twice. Did you pick up a screen protector? No, but I will since my seven plus that I've had Was shattered within did you drink enough water? I Don't know the whole thing I I'm such an old person that like I set my alarm for 1145 because I was like, I'll never stay up Yeah, like I'm getting you know kind of comfortable on the couch like but I really want it I want to do this. Oh, yeah, but I ended up actually I was excited So I didn't have to there have been years when I stayed up because I needed I felt I needed to Get it kind of you deciding to get it made sure that I didn't feel that this year I'm like, well one of us will have it's fine. Yeah, right There have been years when I Haven't stayed up and almost felt like oh, I feel like I'm missing out because I'm not getting getting the one this year Because I usually don't do the s years But this year I I saw a stray headline about I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess that's right People will be doing that tonight. So I Just did not have the impulse or anything. Oh and also I know it's you know The the times have changed but I even got on Twitter, you know, like who else is doing the midnight thing And it was like it just wasn't like it used to be at all I was doing that you keep it to yourself, right because it used to be everybody like are you guys ready? I'm so excited. Oh my god. Keep refreshing Yeah, right, right, I'm still excited I'm very excited, but I also didn't have a tent. So I didn't know why the first iPhone the day of I Actually, we went like the first weekend. It was out and stood in line in San Jose Yeah, no iPhone gen one the very yeah, yeah Oh, yeah, sorry, I misunderstood. Yeah, by the way, I'm behind the I'm behind the times on this But I just got a ps4 this week. Yeah IBM ps4 It make it ps4 So add me At the bro at me bro job owned land if you PS4 person and I will never talk to you because I don't yeah, but go ahead. Go ahead and add me Maybe I'll be next. Yes, I'll add you and then we won't talk to each other. No, it's great. It's more the same I Have you on Xbox I think Glenn so now I have to add you To my ps4. Okay one minute one minute. Here we go. You guys ready. Yeah, I'm serious. Are you ready? No Okay, so we have Roger read the opening today Okay Line three line three. All right, 20 seconds 20 seconds Enthusiasm yes, I like it. I like your energy. It'll be amazing. Put your back into it. Yeah, just think on your feet I can't I'm sitting and three I Literal man. All right. Here we go five four three two Thanks to everyone who supports daily tech news show directly to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the daily tech news for Friday September 14th 2018 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio Okay, nine. I'm sorry. Oh, and from Sailor snub studio. I'm Shannon Morris And from a partly cloudy mid September, Ohio, I'm Len Peralta That sounded very poetic. Thank you and from the edges of LA County. It's me Roger Only one person should get to say and in the future I think Also, Len you originally had sunny down. Yeah when I wrote it. It was sunny. All right now It's now it's partly. It's always sunny in Cleveland, Ohio Until now We are gonna talk about Nintendo Direct and some of the exciting announcements that came out of that and also sort of talk about the State of the Switch and where it sits in the console Wars, but let's start with a few tech things you should know Samsung sent an invite to a Galaxy event on October 11th that promises four times the fun The invite ads quote Samsung's newest Galaxy device is bringing more ways to express yourself than ever before What they wrote was 4x which I assume is means four times, too, but I don't know LG sent an invite to an announcement of its v40 thing cue for October 3rd 2018 The announcement reads take five come and see what's next rumors have suggested the phone would come with five cameras Ridiculous, isn't take five a boy band You're right Well, maybe they'll play Google published a teaser page in the Google store that just has the number three and a button to sign up for more info if you like To know more info about the third number in our list of numbers Presumably, it's about the pixel three and Google has an event in New York in Paris scheduled for October 9th that coily uses the number three So that's what that's all about. All right, let's talk a little bit more about Microsoft what they're buying these days shaman Microsoft announced it has acquired lobe a company that makes drag-and-drop tools to create machine learning models Lobe launched in beta earlier this year in Microsoft plans to let it keep operating as it has been While using it in its own efforts to make building AI models easier like Azure ML studio platform And this is pretty cool because they're not only acquiring low, but they've also acquired a couple of other Similar type of companies as well bonsai AI and semantic machines, too. So you can definitely see a trend going here Yeah, Microsoft is is among the you know, I don't know leaders may may sound too Positive but but one of the companies that is really going after machine learning and try to get in that space Google Of course doing it as well Facebook doing it as well others are doing it It's not like a Apple isn't doing it. They're just not as public about it But I like these these companies like lobe that it's a really slick interface if you get a chance to look at it Much slicker than Azure ML studio currently so I'm assuming they'll be they'll be taking that design ethic of nothing else And I'm putting it over there and taking some of the difficulty out of it now for those You know who grew up learning to code HTML by hand They used to get sort of bent out of shape at all of those editors out there that created the HTML for you But they're super handy in getting things done quick and that's kind of what this is for machine learning, which is even more complex Mary meekers annual internet trends reports are hailed as one of the best evaluations of the industry She's been doing them for something along those lines for decades now, but Mary meeker will no longer be doing them from Kleiner Perkins golf field and buyers because meeker joined the VC firm back in 2010 But is now leaving with three others to form a new firm Now I have to say before I looked up who the other three people where I was like yay women firm It's not but that's okay. Uh, it's It this the story kind of reminds me tom of our conversation from yesterday about how microsoft at one point was You know all anybody could talk about was sort of antitrust because things do change and Kleiner Perkins is one of the oldest VC firms really of the first comm boom so the fact that um meeker is leaving is A little bit inside baseball probably for a lot of folks who don't really care who works at what VC firm But she's been there a long time and arguably sort of their superstar these days Well, and she was a superstar before she went to Kleiner Perkins It was considered to be a coup for Kleiner Perkins to get her and sort of burnished their reputation because by 2010 Kleiner Perkins was no longer the dot-com VC firm and this sort of put to rest like oh, they're still relevant even in 2010 Look at them getting you know snapping up Mary meeker Mary meeker I feel like has outgrown Kleiner Perkins Maybe that Kleiner Perkins Caulfield and buyers should have had a meeker in it and they would have kept her because it looks like From what from the tea leaves i've read particularly the recode story It seems like meeker wants to do things her way Kleiner didn't really love that or or or at least you know They keep wanted to keep things doing doing things their way And so they decided to part ways and and publicly they're all being very amicable about oh about it So there's no reason to think it's anything but it may just be a difference in opinion And and the thing that meeker is gambling is that she will be able to continue To be as influential as she has been at Kleiner because she's Mary meeker and I think that's a good bet Yeah, I mean this is not unlike Uh, is somebody working at a at a sort of at a established Tech firm right and you go like well, but your job is so good. You know, what do you care? It's it's it's all you know, it's it's all gravy, right, but um, this is this is what happens, especially when uh firms That give companies money to create a technology that we all use Get long in the tooth things change people start new firms And if you're out there going like wait, who's Mary meeker again? Uh, it's the internet trends report We talk about it every year because it is usually spot on If for no other reason that it summarizes exactly what's hot right now But also does a great job of pointing out these are the things you want to keep an eye on For the next year or so. Yeah, it's it's a slide show. She's been doing uh at the code conference for the last few years But she's been she's she's been doing it a web putting this together. Yes for a long time Stanley she was doing it before she went to morgan stanley. She's been doing a slide show I don't know, you know since the 90s. I think So so anyway, uh meeker stands alone and don't need nobody else I'll be curious if if the new vc firm has like a A funky cool name or it's just a person name with meeker's name in the meeker and co perhaps. Yeah. Yeah, exactly Well, moving on nvidia has a new tool called nvidia scanner available for the rtx 2080 graphics cards It promises one click overclocking by running workload tests and checking the voltage curve for failures Which nvidia says it should take about 20 minutes nvidia says the scanner will also be available for older generations of gpu And it's also working with msi gigabyte asus and other card makers on an api for existing gpu management tools So this nvidia scanner tool It's going to be software that's going to be uh kind of sold with a lot of these gpus that are coming to market From all of those other retailers like they mentioned and possibly some other retailers that have not been mentioned yet And uh, this is making overclocking super super simple because for the longest time it takes forever to overclock So 20 minutes has been kind of Non-existent up to this point. So the rtx 2080 and nvidia scanner is introducing something completely new to the video gaming industry And allows pretty much anybody to be able to overclock as long as they have this kind of gpu This this and the the the drag-and-drop machine learning Really in my head. I'm imagining Some person out there saying they're making it too easy I remember when I had to spend all day to overclock A gpu or a cpu kids these days. They don't understand 20 minutes Good grief. Yeah, but I mean honestly There there there is an honest Reason to want to do it yourself you learn a lot when you do stuff like that. I get that But if the whole point is I just I just want to have the speed I mean, why why wouldn't you love this 20 minutes to overclock a gpu? Which is which is tricky? Yeah, and it's pretty ridiculous. However, a lot of people are telling that the rtx 2080s are going to be a lot faster than the 1080s So you could also argue that you don't even need to overclock to be able to do most processing powers that you would generally Need on a day-to-day usage even for my video editing or normal video gaming that you know I personally do or like my husband does we don't necessarily need to overclock But if you're doing a lot more power intensive work For example, if you're generating algorithms or using this at a scientific level, then this would be extremely useful From that use case scenario. I mean, I'm sure people do overclock for those reasons But most of the people have ever overclocked because they just can right like I mean It's it's a very interesting proposition because it's something that intel has sort of been doing with turbo boost on their cpus Which is to basically give you overhead On your existing hardware that you purchased And i'm wondering if down the line and video will start bending parts on their overclock ability So hey, if you get a founders edition, you're gonna you're gonna get guaranteed 30 overhead Overclocking ability on whatever you buy And you know everything else is just kind of a toss-up of whatever you get when when the Manufacture, you know sources the parts from nvidia So I I am definitely very fascinated by this and i'm gonna keep my eye on it because it's One of those things that sounds cool, but there's I wait for the other shoe to drop I am disclaimer I did get paid by nvidia to go to gamescom last month to report on the keynote and report on the convention over there So hopefully I can get an rtx 2080 in to review for my own shows and if that's possible Roger i'll let you know how that overclocking goes Yeah, because there's some people who are skeptical that it's going to be Enough performance in the right areas Exactly That'll be from the test Google chrome 70 beta can now support fingerprint sensors in android and macOS Yay web developers can use fingerprints to authenticate access chrome is also adding web bluetooth support to windows 10 And adding the experimental shape detection api for identifying faces barcodes and text in images Yeah, so bluetooth support was already available pretty much everywhere else, but windows 10. That's a you know, thank goodness It's finally here Android macOS getting fingerprint sensors is pretty cool. Like I love the idea of being able to authenticate On my device that way As much as possible It's interesting that they're not doing touch id And maybe that's because they're like well, that's kind of going away like why bother why prioritize that? I think this is really cool from like a two-factor authentication standpoint Like you'll be able to authenticate more often on like your android phone To websites or to applications that want to authenticate you that way And if you're not too privy on the idea of downloading an additional application like authy or google authenticator Or maybe you don't want to buy a third party platform like a ube key Then you could just authenticate with your fingerprint through google chrome So they are making this in my mind a little bit more convenient from a security level and uh any any more convenience for security Is highly appreciated and my standards. Yeah, so so the the security of the Fingerprint sensor mechanism itself from android and macOS aside because that right especially an android that can be a question And certainly a question with macOS too. I'm just saying with android. It's multiple partners doing it So you you have to evaluate them individually I just want to say thumb is something I always have If I say that sure so On macOS i'm i'm all index no thumbs. Oh, okay. Yeah, you know what you're right. I actually do index on on the laptop thumbprint. I think it's just yeah, it's it's the way that it's laid out, but hopefully As long as it's me Lifehacker has a handy guide to getting ios 12 right now rather than wait until next week It's coming to everybody on the 17th, but there's this golden window Where you may have realized already that the gold master of ios 12 is out in beta Gold master is usually identical to the public release so Between now and the 17th If you go and and you're not already signed up at beta dot apple dot com You can sign up from safari On your ios device is probably easiest And then Reset your phone go to software update under the general settings get that new operating system. It'll be Pretty much identical to the one that's coming out next week And then if you're like look i'm just not in the beta game like people who are already in the beta You already have this this is for people like well. I want it now But I didn't want to be in all the betas earlier on so get it download it and then Unregister yourself by removing the ios 12 beta software profile in your settings You'll keep the beta version of ios 12 It'll be identical to the one that comes out on the 17th And then from then on you'll get the normal updates that everyone else gets this seems like something that should not work It does At least for now And there's always a possibility that the gold master the golden master doesn't have everything that comes out on the 17th That's pretty unlikely though It's just one of those things where I realize like you get to choose when you get an update You're right. Yeah, right like you could have had this already if you were part of the beta program I know lots of people are in the beta program But earlier in the process like when ios 13 or whatever they end up calling it comes out It'll be a little bugger at first and some people like you know what I rely on this phone for work I I don't want it to be buggy But I do want ios 12 earlier when it's not buggy and this is the one that's not buggy So you know kind of a cool way to dive on in I will be doing this Let us know how it goes I will 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, nintendo direct announced a bunch of software which has been a concern Nintendo switch has been selling really well In fact, nintendo kind of tries to argue that it sells better than the playstation over equivalent time periods, etc But the sales have been slowing and a lot of people think that's because of a lack of of Continuous game releases both from nintendo and third parties. Well, they're trying to fix that Luigi's mansion 3 and a new animal crossing game coming to nintendo switch in 2019 final fantasy 7 9 10 x2 hd remaster of 10 to hd remaster and 12 are also coming to switch in 2019 More than a dozen other titles were also announced plus Nintendo has pairs of wireless nes controllers for the switch If you sign up for a nintendo switch online membership, which goes live september 18th You can pay 60 bucks for a pair of wireless nes controllers that will be shipping in mid december civilization coming EA sports fifa 20 or fifa 19 coming catamari domacy re-roll coming I mean shannon this they threw out a lot of names of titles in this Oh, yes, they did and I am super excited about it because like I have my nintendo switch right here And I take it with me everywhere I go in this world including when I went to germany last month So i'm very stoked about this But I think one of the coolest and most interesting ones that they decided to release Is a whole series of final fantasy games, um, which which was just introduced Including final fantasy 7 is in there Hilariously they skipped final fantasy 8 which I thought was really funny because a lot of people don't like that game I was like nobody wants it Well, it won't sell so might as well not final fantasy 9 10 There's 12 hd remaster There's a 10 2 hd remaster and then there's final fantasy 12 But uh, we don't have exact specific dates for those releases yet And we don't also have the prices either for a lot of these games So a lot of folks stuff is part of nintendo online So or switch online So i'm curious if that would be true of final fantasy or if it'd be some sort of separate pack Yeah, so so hopefully they would be included with switch online Which is also releasing again like you said in four days and luckily that's only going to cost about 20 bucks a year So it'll be a really decent price to be able to play a lot of those old games And switch online is also going to be including uh games that are the classic final fantasies too And they will also have a lot of the classic zeldas and classic, uh, mar super mario games as well that you'll be able to play on there But again, those dates aren't finally confirmed We just know that they're going to be coming out sometime in 2019 And that's about it Now one of the interesting ones that I thought was kind of cool is that they're announcing digital board games that you'll be able to play Like settlers of katan and pandemic Which is really really interesting in that you'll be able to you know play multiplayer games that are supposed to be board games You know on a tabletop on your switches Which arguably would also help them sell a lot more of these too because multiple people will be able to play on multiple switches together And uh according to a source very close to the show munchkin Is going to be one of those games as well. That's right Someone we know did art for munchkin. Yeah, that's on point Yeah No, uh, let me put that in the show notes as well. So add that to the board games. That's a really cool idea I I I love that and That the genius of the nintendo switch has been that it doesn't compete With the playstation or the xbox. I mean xbox is getting these final fantasies too But it's it's just feels different that they're coming to nintendo Uh, remember nintendo tweeted back on june 30th after they announced they had sold 19.67 million switches That after approximately 16 months ps4 had sold 20.2 million units The switch has sold 19.6 million in 15 months and the ps4 did their 20 million with two holiday seasons Well, the switch only went through one. So, you know, they're they're trying to make the comparison But I see the switch and its success In part due to the fact that you don't pick the switch Over the xbox or the playstation you pick it in addition to it Absolutely in a lot of cases. I you know, it's very interesting because this this whole This this whole map of of releases is very nintendo, right? Like You socket full of reissues of old games that you know are popular So you're playing it safe there and then you do a bunch of sequels of titles You know people already like so you already have a built-in audio. It's it's very much Nintendo's wheelhouse of hey, we're just going to repackage stuff that you've played before Well add maybe some you know a fresh coat of paint and some new features It's the same game you've always liked and we know people like playing it because we still sell it on steam We sell, you know a catalog, you know, we sell like, you know a bad catalog for for ps3 and ps4 and xbox It's it's it's very telling that they're very comfortable where they're at Right because they're not they're not they're not desperate where oh, we need to release a brand new title a new franchise Something that you know, it's going to wet people's appetite We're comfortable where we are we can do all this stuff and we know where we're going to be You know in six 12 months time in terms of market share Is that also the criticism though is that nintendo is too comfortable and they just keep trading on old ip Rather than coming up with something in you know, it's really interesting because that's it What i've learned, you know, I I work used to work at gamespot and we Doing all the game coverage and just talking about the game editors and reviewers It really depends on where you sit if you're very Nostalgic this stuff is like, you know gold if you're more of the kind of like i don't really have a cultural Or or you know history with these titles so they don't have the same pool on me You kind of shrugged your shoulders And you know that that's very much a legitimate argument that nintendo often Times tends to play it safe until they get themselves on the buy-in for example at the we you and they do something very very fat very interesting You know very out of the box like the switch And you know, they it's like they spin it all around but then they come back right they just come back home where they feel comfortable And where they necessarily aren't like what you were saying they aren't competing with ps4 They aren't competing with xbox. They aren't competing with steam. There you are just nurturing the fan base and hopefully You know and I don't know if that fan base will grows any but it's there all the time And so it's it's an x amount of dollars that they can expect to to pull in I think that the fan base is always It always has the ability to grow with like younger generations or even with more people being introduced to these older fandoms in time especially as we've seen as a general synopsis of you know the popularity of pop culture Has grown a lot in popularity in the past few years So seeing things like final fantasy in zelda becoming more popular with the mainstream I I think that that would probably help nintendo switches grow too And i'm even one of those households that has two switches not by my choice Because I had the first one, but my husband decided to buy one alongside We also have a ps4. So it's a perfect example of what you were mentioning tom The game the board game stuff is very fascinating to me because everyone and their mother has tried some spin on this Whether it's microsoft, whether it's sony They sony pulled out that one was it for the ps no ps3 that had the It came with a webcam and the big kind of rollout board Game board and stuff Try to integrate that into a video game environment has always been very kind of a nebulous thing, right? Do you just make it online only where someone sits with a controller and play someone online? It's it's something that if you need to make it so everyone around the room See you have four or five friends with you to play. How do you integrate that without you know, literally adding a 50 dollar You know packaged add-on. That's the the board game with the pieces and all that stuff Um, and you know stuff like that, you know, no one's figured it out Quite yet, and i'm really really curious to see how nintendo works with that One thing I wanted to mention as well with the nintendo switch news is the fact that they are As we mentioned they're mentioned They're introducing new bundles that come with a pikachu themed console for example and a super smash brothers console too and these are just artistically refined to be Plastered with pikachu on the front or plastered with pokemon or plastered with super smash brothers characters While with other consoles a lot of times you see them come out in with newer models of their consoles like with the ps4 We have the the pro model that has newer technology on the inside with nintendo switch We don't see that we just see the outside has been changed a little bit the color scheme or the characters that are plastered on it We don't see new technology on the inside. So I think that they're very Comfortable with what they're doing with the switch again And they they know that they're going to continue selling these to a lot more people It's not just going to be the folks that got you know the very first one that was what was it blue and blue and red Yeah, I think you could you could choose from two different styles one with the blue red I think one was just black and black but but You're right They they aren't doing upgrades to technology because they built a machine that doesn't rely on having the fastest technology to be appealing And yeah, xbox and sony they they do these kind of You know special branded versions where it's just you know call the call of duty sticker on there So, you know call of duty art on there. They do that as well But but they also do those upgraded ones the channel was talking about and we're not seeing nintendo do that This is their big holiday seller, which is you know, we're going to put pikachu on there Hope you enjoy and lots of people will Also going back to what something roger said real quick before we wrap up It is interesting how nintendo plays on nostalgia in two ways one is just bringing back old games as part of nintendo online And giving you wireless nes controllers, but also upgrading my wife super excited that a new animal crossing is coming out Animal crossing definitely an old franchise has been around for more than a decade But they're going to do something with it on the switch that's new And so you kind of keep bringing people back into the realm. She hasn't played the switch more than one or two times I know when this comes out She'll be picking it up all the time maybe we'll end up being like shannon and her husband and having to get to We'll see Well, thanks everybody who participates in our sub reddit nintendo stories a plenty But many more as well you can submit stories and vote on others at daily tech news show dot reddit.com We're also on facebook check us out facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show Oh mailbag What comes forth from you today? mailbag sikhani writes and this is In reference to our conversation yesterday about amazon being too big to fail and what it all means Sikhani says is it a thing to consider a company too big that it's harmful if there's an issue with name recognition? for example amazon is the first and to some people the only destination for online shopping When my wife and I for various reasons decided to drop our prime membership Took us a well to adjust to finding certain products elsewhere The alternatives exist But it seems like it takes way more effort than it should to remind consumers that those alternatives are actually around Some even offer free shipping or a same-day delivery and you don't need to pay a membership fee Just a random thought can accompany the consumers like too much be anti competitive Sikhani I think is is hitting on what the legislators are wanting to shift the antitrust conversation to which is amazon dominates in the platform even if it benefits consumers It's anti competitive because it has a bad effect on the marketplace itself and that you know if it's not hurting consumers It's a harder argument to make but you know go back to yesterday's show if you want to pursue that line of argument Sikhani's living the effect of that argument, which is Yeah, maybe beneficial for me But if I don't want to choose it or I don't want to pay for prime anymore does make life more difficult Right. Well, and I mean it reminds me of how I feel about google. I I don't really have any problems with google I like it very much Competitive things to consider. Yes, there are Certainly things to consider, but I still find it a great product compared to you know the competition Once I've finished moving and all of that stresses out of the way I want to get back to this idea of taking a challenge to not use apple amazon facebook google Oh, what a month. I didn't realize this was a thing. Yeah, no, I mentioned it maybe once before but I've been toying with the idea Of can you make it a month without using those four because if you can't that's a problem You should be able to not use those four companies if you want to Um, I challenge you to do this. Yeah, I look forward to your results Wait until I moved in, okay, and then you can Let's take him behind Peralta who's been illustrating this episode. What do you got Len? Well, thank you so much Tom for giving me something fun like Nintendo to draw on my uh, my first day back after a while Um, you know, I don't have it a switch. I grew up on Nintendo Uh, I know there's tons of people that are excited about it Uh, including Luigi, uh, who of course has a new game But you know the one thing I always notice is that it's like, you know, it's just another is it another mario game? It's another I mean, I'd love to see more New stuff for nintendo as opposed just going back to the sad little animal crossing guy Who's kind of a complaining a tom nook back there. I know who that is It's an it's an unimpressed bear It's like a little I think it's a raccoon. Oh, okay Unimpressed raccoon got it. Yeah, I know a lot of people are excited about it and uh, but it would be great I'm glad to see the board games. That's kind of exciting But I'd love to see more stuff coming out for the switch and nintendo as well. So hopefully that'll be Uh, coming down the wire. So um, but yeah, so you can get this print right now over at lennparaltestore.com Or if you become one of my patreons at patreon.com for slash len Uh, you get this uh with everything else and on a personal note. I just want to take a few seconds to say Uh, thank you very much to the dts community For uh, for your support over the past couple weeks. It's been a couple. It's been a hard month Uh, and I got some really really beautiful nice messages from everybody So I just wanted to say thank you everybody and thank you for the support. You're welcome On behalf and thanks for being with us. We love you len. Oh, we love you guys, of course You know who else we love? We love shannon morse Yay, thanks to shannon morse for being with us. We missed you as well shannon So so happy to hear that your recent travel has been going well.

Uh, say a star moon sailor moon swag um Depends on what I'm looking for There I use specific sites for specific things like premium bandai for most of the Like makeup and girls women's clothing and purses and things like that and then I use uh I have a personal shopper in japan that goes to the sailor moon store to buy a lot of stuff Oh, nice Yeah, so I I go through him to buy a lot of things and then he just charges like 15 percent or 10 percent Plus shipping, so it's not it's not bad at all compared to the prices that ebay You know things like will fit you like you just give him your measurements and he goes or Um, most of the japanese measurements. I just size up by like two sizes and then it's correct So if I'm a small here, I'm like a large in japan See that's what I love. I love it. I'm like I'm a large Yeah, I know I'm just uh I'm so big Like extra small too small actually, huh, that'll be happening very often Uh titles um google gives chrome the finger port sensor support giving chrome the finger Roger takes the lead I don't get that He started the show.
