Perfect timing audio hijack All right, here we go a way to go The Daily Tech News show with Tom Merritt is brought to you by wonderful awesome patrons like you if that's not you Join this party now go to patreon.com slash ace detect and give a little because it helps a lot That's patreon.com slash a c e d t c t hit the button Tom This is the Daily Tech News for Monday August 3rd 2015 I'm Tom Merritt joining me today as we're back to our normal schedule. Miss Veronica Belmont. How's it going? Goodness gracious. I'm here on an actual Monday. Can you believe it? And so am I? It's a miracle Veronica's the host of Dear Veronica co-host of Sword and Laser and regular contributor here at the Daily Tech News show We both just got back from Nerdtacular in snowbird, Utah Scott Johnson's frog pants all-stars celebration and it was a blast. Thanks to everybody We met for coming out there saying hi lots of DTNS t-shirts around do and very happy to report that team DTNS Came out of this thing the all-star champions. Yeah team DTNS plus one borrowed angry chicken Yeah, it winds Earl that's what we that put us over the top Honestly, what put us over the top was Jenny Josephson just nailing the part where you had to identify songs for movies That was impressive MVP absolutely. No no doubt and and in recognition of her MVP award She has today off and tomorrow off, but we're all here. So let's get to some headlines Wired's Kim Zetter reports that researchers have discovered how to infect the firmware of max and Spread the malware through things with option ROM things with option ROM are things like your ethernet adapter In fact, they did a demonstration or they have a demonstration that uses a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter that spreads malware So it's essentially air-gapped It would even stick around through firmware updates The only way to eliminate the infection would be to actually electrically Reflesh the chip Apple has patched one and part of another of the five Vulnerabilities discovered and disclosed to them. So, you know cova owner of a legbacore and Tremel Hudson from two sigma investments will discuss Their findings at black hat August 6th Friday These are similar to firmware attacks on Windows. So it's not just for max either It's just that they also tend to work on max well These things kind of make a lot of news all the time because people assume that max are somehow invulnerable to to issues like this malware for example, and that's really just not the case It's just that it happens less frequently because there are smaller percentage of the computer population But now I think that's increasingly going to be changing. So we may be seeing more and more of this moving forward Yeah, you're absolutely right. It has been changing I think it's I think it's been balancing out as the share of people using OS 10 has risen and and so thus becomes a More attractive target target. Yeah, and this this is what we want people get afraid at these stories And I guess that's understandable But this is what you want to happen is security researchers finding the vulnerabilities telling companies about them Demonstrating them at conferences like DEF CON and black hat so that these kind of vulnerabilities can be fixed and avoided in the future Precisely venture beat reports Microsoft has acquired instant games maker of a product called fantasy sales team Sounds exciting the platform gamify sales goal goals to motivate employees Microsoft plans to offer direct integration with Microsoft Dynamics But we'll continue to support competing systems like Salesforce. Yeah, apparently this is really good at motivating more than just your top seller So like since the 60s, they've done the you know sales person of the week and and stuff But how do you motivate the people that are consistently in the middle of the pack? So you they created like a fantasy sports for sales, I guess That's kind of what I assumed it was just even just based off the name alone Yeah, it's kind of you know gamifying stuff like that is really smart. I think I There's there was talking this venture beat story about the possibility of Microsoft Expanding this product to other areas besides sales. So what I'm like, what would that be like chefs? Well, it was funny I was on steam the other day and a lot of my steam friends are playing you need a budget for Oh, huh And I was like what is this a game like what is the deal with this and no it's not really a game But it's a really great piece of budget software I would I would like I need help with that kind of thing So it's nice when I get you know It draws my attention by being in a gaming environment at the very least or or a platform that that draws my attention in that way Have you tried it? I have heard about it, but I use this is just how old of a man. I am I use Quicken Quicken. Yeah, they're still around you may have heard of them. They're definitely still around, you know, they own mint So I I You need a budget sense really fascinating and I bet you're right that that's the kind of thing Microsoft might approach You know gamifying things like personal finance. It would make perfect sense. Totally speaking of sense Sensor maker Sony has a few new phones out that showcase the very popular camera sensors the company makes the Xperia c5 Ultra is a six-inch Android phone with a 13 megapixel front and rear camera Xperia m5 is a five-inch Android phone with a 13 megapixel front camera, but a 21.5 megapixel Rear camera both phones will be available in selected countries across the emerging markets from the middle of August no word on price yet Wow, that's pretty cool. Yeah, I mean when you make all your money on sensors Why not make that the centerpiece of your phone business, you know, totally totally makes sense The Indian government has blocked more than 857 porn dating and other adult websites from being accessed within the country reports the next web The order came on Friday from the Department of Telecommunications and according to local reports made under rule 12 a part of the country's IT Act that gives the government the power to force ISPs to block certain sites Why did they have to name it that just makes you want to call it rule 34, right rule 32? Yeah, totally the government has 30 days to say why the sites have been blocked Times of India says the government claims a directive is a result of a Supreme Court Observing the ministry has failed to block wait is a direct is a result of a Supreme Court Observing the ministry had failed to block child. The Supreme Court observed that the ministry. Yeah, that's yeah, okay And it's really confusing like the government's like no, no, no, we're not I mean yes We're ordering these blocking but it's not because we're cracking down. It's just that you know, look child pornography is bad Right, it's really confusing response and a lot of people are are fearing that this is the beginning of some bad Stuff happening. Yeah TechCrunch reports Xiaomi is once again the top smartphone firm in China according to two different analyst expectations or analyst estimates Analysts reports that Xiaomi leads the pack in Q2 sales with 15.9% of all shipments in China Huawei took second with 15.7% and Apple took third Counterpoint research backs that they say Xiaomi got 15.8% so not that far off Huawei at 15.4% and Apple with 12.2% also in third vivo and Samsung Rounded out the top five in both lists. They were in reverse order in the two different lists though Vivo makes the blue phone. Have you heard of that? Yeah, but what did we just talk about this on I mean it was it was in a different order though like two days ago Yeah, I think I was it was a it was a different listing of worldwide Smartphone and because Nokia was still up there in worldwide phones We were talking about how Huawei was the top manufacturer, right, right of phones in general, correct? Yeah, we're talking about that towards the end of last week. Oh Wow, yeah, it's a big it's a big game over there in China. That's for sure It's a huge marketplace and it's definitely a market to keep an eye on and a lot of people were pointing out to that Apple being falling to third isn't as bad as it might sound because Apple's far away from releasing the iPhone 6 and 6 plus And so the fact that they've held their market share is actually better Than they have in the past especially because China's economy has been slowing as well and Apple is merely a luxury brand there Absolutely, it was really fascinating though to be in Hawaii when the iPhone 6 and 6 plus were launching and the sheer number of Chinese tourists who are in Hawaii purchasing Several phones at a time to bring back to the mainland It's it's definitely popular and it's definitely desired as a as a luxury good there in a status symbol. So yeah, yeah Yeah, I'm not surprised that it's starting to you know Come up the ranks a little bit as the years go on I found I found the numbers that you're talking about from Friday show you read the headline That's why you remember it while we ship 30.6 million phones last quarter worldwide Worldwide, okay, great The Wall Street Journal reports China will start restricting exports of super computers and certain unmanned aerial vehicles Starting August 15th computers capable of eight teraflops or more will require an export license UAVs that fly more than an hour or have wind stabilization and can fly more than a half hour are also restricted Popular quadcopter makers DJI says its current products have a maximum of 25 minutes flying time Oh, so will not be restricted just under the line there. It made me wonder like is this the kind of thing that will Be a competitive disadvantage if DJI can't export anything more than 30 minutes Or I guess with without wind stabilization. They could make it an hour, but Does that mean that in other parts of the world? Local manufacturers now get a boost because they can say hey We've we've got one that can do an hour in 10 minutes, you know, so I think more fly time I think absolutely and they'll probably have to weigh that against the benefit of having cheaper Manufacturing in the plants that they're probably using in China at this point I don't know what country they are based out of if they're an American company producing DJI is a Chinese company Yeah, it's a Chinese company. Okay, so then they yeah, they then they definitely have a competitive disadvantage there But I guess they could take their manufacturing elsewhere and be able to export from another place like yeah, or Korea or You know somewhere else. So that's that's yeah, that's difficult for them for sure. Oh We get a lot of good tips on news from you guys Thanks to our subreddit at daily tech news show dot reddit calm It helps us to be able to understand what kind of story is a segment of our audience We got 5,000 people in there believe in and if you would like to get in there and at least do some voting It's gonna make it even more helpful You can even submit articles Teen Ninja 3000 notes the tech crunch Reports that Nokia will sell its here mapping business to a consortium made up of Audi AG the BMW group and Demmler AG makers of Mercedes in a deal worth 2.8 billion euros That's just over three billion dollars consortium will get here's patents databases and some 300 location attributes No information was released about here's 6,454 employees a little too early to tell what they'll do with them But here's president Sean Fernback said the company will remain independent. He called them the Switzerland of maps Especially the Switzerland of maps of Switzerland, I bet Anyway, the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of next year So three automakers competing automakers investing in a map company that says it's gonna remain independent So they want to stay out of they want to stay out of the the Apple game the Google game They want to go they want to have a completely independent mapping service built into these cars because I mean as these cars You know continuously become more technology dependent Internet dependent for services like mapping for example and having you know 3G or LTE coverage built into the cars You know they have to be looking at these these map services something that you know Do they want to pay licensing to big companies? Maybe not do they want to just know that they know they can they can work with Yeah, I think they probably do so it's a it's a good move for them I think overall, but is it a good move? I mean Nokia's map service has always been great So I think that's a definite definite strong point Apple Maps not so much Google Yes has become kind of the de facto mapping service for a lot of manufacturers, but I think it's nice to have an independent third party that does mapping really well that that I wonder if they'll be able to let other car companies use them too I mean there there are such big parent organizations of so many different car brands that You know, I'm sure it'll trickle down But yeah, that sounds what I mean That's what president fernbeck is implying is we're gonna be Switzerland even though we're owned by car companies We'll work with everybody and I think it does make sense for Nokia to spin this out because with them acquiring Alcatel Lucent They're going to be a majority Networking equipment Manufacture and that's maps doesn't really fit that directly into there. They can spin here out as its own unit it's gonna keep its president and and then the Nokia technologies group can design things Like phones and probably strike still strike deals with here to use the maps for those I wish maybe Tesla will get on there. Their mapping is not great Yeah, maybe Tesla will be one of the first customers here tries to sign up outside of its own investors, obviously Tired of listening to voicemails on your iPhone Starfury Zeta wants to know that you're wants you to know that you are in luck Business Insider has sources that say Apple is testing a new service that uses Siri to answer phone calls and transcribe voicemail iCloud would then send you the transcribe message as a text the iCloud voicemail could also pass on to selected callers Information about where you are and why you can't pick up the phone According to sources the service is being prepared for a 2016 launch other sources say Apple is also testing an NBN. Oh Yeah, this this has the ring of truth to it even though it's just secret sources They could see Apple definitely wanting to do this with Siri and and as they try to roll it out as more of an assistant This is the year where the iPhone will have some kind of nifty service that distinguishes it rather than a Hardware change if everything holds to form right in the off years. They've given us Siri They've given us the fingerprint sensor, but they've kept the design the same So could a smarter Siri be the thing we see this year and then maybe not reading the voicemail yet But that's something they add to it later Yeah, well now that Cortana is making a big push in Windows 10 I think where we're gonna maybe see a true battle of the the embedded AI in these services Yeah, Captain Kipper submitted the cbc story that hitch-bot the little robot that made it across Canada on the kindness of strangers Didn't fare as well in Philadelphia It made it from Marblehead, Massachusetts to somewhere in Philly where it was vandalized A photo was sent showing its broken body, but they can't find it because the battery is dead So they can't track it anymore So farewell hitch-bot. It's always sunny in Philadelphia for you now So this makes me so sad I mean, I kind of wish we weren't gonna talk about this on the show today But it had to be said. I mean, of course it made it through Canada Of course it did only to died the hands of Americans so typical well I mean not all of us in America somebody in Philly Yes, you know, maybe the hitch-bot made some off-hand remark about the Phillies or the Eagles, you know I just didn't know any better But yeah, no it is sad They made it all the way across Canada on its own. It was such an inspiring story Is a look at the headlines Alright We're gonna cross this medium post today from Hussein der auction He's an Iranian-Canadian spent six years in Evan prison in Tehran was released in November He was in prison for what he had written on his blog. It's a little unclear why they released him So he spent six years behind prison doors Not able to watch what was happening on the internet So the internet of 2008 was what was in his mind when he came out in November and he wrote a fascinating post today Describing his perspective on the web now that he's had a few months to get back into how things work now The post is called the web. We have to save it's on his medium blog matter And he talks about how everyone told him social networking had taken over everything So his first blog post that he did after getting out He posted it to Facebook and he only got three likes And so he started to miss, you know When he had a fresh going concern of a blog how you know He could get 20,000 hits on an article and he talks about how he feels the social networks have Devalued the link they value pictures. They value videos They sometimes even disallow links points out Instagram. You can't even link to anything And he talks about something that you've probably heard over the past couple years of the stream Being dominated versus the web so instead of an interconnected world of hyperlinks You have the Facebook stream or the Twitter stream and you don't need to visit websites You just watch your favorite stream go by Yeah, it's the the you know, it really made me think he he left the internet around the time that web 2.0 was really kicking off and and he missed Most of the explosion of social media and so he's coming to this from the perspective of a blogger and Reading his post made me really miss those days When we had and maintained like actual blogs and that was our primary way of communicating with the rest of the World Wide Web and you could you could you know link to someone else's blog and you Could go down this like rabbit hole of interesting, you know cohesive thoughts blog posts from other people and And now it's you know, we get these curated streams of Information and maybe we follow a couple of them. Maybe we check Facebook Maybe we check Twitter throughout the day, but we're getting a lot less of that serendipity I think and and more of the same ideas in this echo chamber of social media that we've created for ourselves Yeah, he writes in the blog I miss when people took time to be exposed to different opinions and bothered to read more than a paragraph or 140 characters But that that's sort of to me rings of the people who criticized blogs Saying I miss when people used to take the time to read full-length articles instead of 800 words Like is it is he really identifying a change? I think it's a it's a it's a different way of consuming content and You know, I still feel like I go down link rabbit holes Like I'll find something on a website and link to there and go to the next thing and kind of you know Continue learning about that topic. I don't think that's gone away But I'm not sure you know the hyperlink idea that this death of the hyperlink that he kind of references is very Interesting because yes, people do link to things on Twitter But sometimes you can get all the information you need or think you need just from looking at an image or watching a video That's already been embedded in a Twitter headline So less and less are we really going out to external sources to get the full? Full bit of information. We're staying very insularly in these these streams of content on on on social media I think it's tempting To do that and I think that's the problem. It's not so much that we all do that obviously you don't I don't either and we grew up Learning about it a web that was different than the way it is now for sure And on the other hand there are people and and he he cites a couple of these stories where people are saying No, I don't use the internet But they are saying they use Facebook like they don't equate the two They don't understand that the two are the same The we always joke Facebook is the internet for some people for some people Facebook is an entirely different thing than the internet Right, I think is even scarier. So for a long time. I have been bemoaning the the app the siloed app culture That prevents you from interconnecting and I think I Don't know whether I think maybe Hussein is over-exaggerating They the damage of the stream, but I think we definitely are at at a pendulum swing away from that interconnectedness Which I think makes the internet and the web so special I also feel pretty hopeful that people will rediscover it. Well, I think too. We've we've adjusted I mean, this is something that we've become used to because we've been growing with it as it's changed and he's coming at it from a completely Totally different perspective that we can't even really comprehend because he's coming at it totally fresh He's a smart guy. I mean, he's a he's a computer savvy web savvy dude that just got taken away from all of it It's not like he's a Luddite coming into this for the first time being like what is this crazy internet thing, you know Like he knows his stuff clearly and so that's why I think his perspective is so Interested such a teachable moment in a sense to to read his perspective on this and and kind of see what it would be Like for someone coming at a completely new That's probably one of the reasons I'm most attracted to this story I don't know if I agree with all of his points either. I do agree that Instagram is probably the worst The worst issue of this kind of walled garden. You can't even link out from from your posts You have to put like a link in your profile. I know they do that to kind of combat spam Or like phishing scams or I you know, frankly, I don't really know their reason for not letting you put live links in your in your entries But it is it is kind of a problem It's like Twitter from everything else Twitter allows only 140 characters because they started using the SMS system But then later realized that that forced a certain kind of creativity in a certain kind of content I think Instagram might be doing that on purpose as well saying, you know If we don't allow links it forces people to create their content in a certain way and really focus on the photographs And I think that's fine What I don't like is that Instagram took forever to make you able to use it on the web at all And and and I think that is detrimental because it's one thing to say no links It's another thing to not even be existing on the web So I agree with him that they should allow more links, but I guess that I'm trying to think of a reason why they might want to do that What do you think about the stream? I mean, do you feel like you are learning less about the world because you have a curated stream? Or do you feel like do you feel like because of the echo chamber? You're just getting repeated stuff over and over I mean, I don't feel sometimes I do actually feel less informed because I feel like I'm getting the same stuff You know Broadcast to me all the time from the same kind of people, but it also makes me kind of look for different perspectives So I think it's a double double-edged sword there It makes you work if you want to be better informed and I think that's unfortunate But that's why I don't feel like I'm in an echo chamber is because I make sure to follow people I Think about who I follow on Twitter When I use Facebook and why I use Facebook and I don't use it very often because it is so easily an echo chamber And I make myself use RSS feeds and and be able to curate them to expose me to things on purpose So I take that under my own into my own hands, right and fight against the the the current of the stream If you will yeah, but it is a super interesting perspective I think I think so too because you're you're right to him we've been sitting here in this, you know, we're like it's like we're standing in a Big trash can that's been slowly filling with water for years and he's like you're about to drown and we're like Oh, no, the water's not over my head. I'm totally fine. This is normal And I don't mean to say we're gonna drown in the stream But I do think that it's it's a good perspective to say hey You know what there's something wrong with the way this works right now I mean the fact that I have to tell people there's a daily tech news show comm website Even though I mentioned it every show and they don't understand what's there, you know I know most of the things that you need to know are there or when Molly and I want launched It's a thing a few years back people were like, how do I subscribe? It's not in my app Yeah, and that just blew me away. Yeah I I do I'm more in the death of of websites sometimes And I feel like I put a lot of effort into like the sword and laser website for example I don't even know if anyone really looks at it. I know they subscribe to the show and iTunes I know that they you know listen to it and overcast But I don't know if they ever go to the website and really click on the links I could go in and look at the numbers there. We look at the numbers, but I could I could do it But for me the main numbers right now are the SoundCloud numbers, you know How many people access the RSS feed? How many people did direct downloads of the mp3 file? I'm not even really thinking about promoting the website as if they as a destination anymore And I think that's true of a lot of content creators They're pushing everything to to to YouTube to Facebook to Twitter and you know Cross-referencing those sites as opposed to sending them to one specific place One other interesting point that he makes before we we finish up this discussion is that Twitter Facebook Have a lot more similarities with television than with print with as far as reading He's like you sit back and you watch and things don't take very long and then they move on and you watch the next thing And he says and he asks are we witnessing a decline of reading on the web in favor of watching and listening? And he's talking about embedding video streams as well What's that for our case? I hope so. Yeah, as long as you're listening or watching this podcast. We're all for it, but Yeah, I mean Mobile applications moving in images. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing again I think it's easy to overreact and and and say, you know go back to the radio will Kill books or movies, you know television will kill movies I don't think it does but I think we are seeing a swing right now and we have to learn How to deal with this new way of presenting information. Yeah, and things change, you know things change over time I think that is probably the the biggest takeaway is that we consume media in different ways We consume content in different ways and that's always going to happen It's just you know, you can always go and read websites are still there You can you know have a very complicated set of of RSS feeds like Tom that you read every single day Or you can you know sit back in your chair relax and and watch the Twitter stream roll by it just depends on You know how you are happiest getting your information. I don't think it's a it's a good thing or a bad thing Yeah, and I think if it gets too centralized then I totally agree That it can be a problem and it is getting very centralized and that is concerning to me But the internet always routes around so I still have faith the internet finds a way Let's get to our pick of the day from Tony of the lazy tech guys. Tony sends us a lot of stuff So thank you, Tony. I appreciate that. He says my pick of the day has to be the new edge browser from Microsoft Although it's not completely finished edge is much faster than Chrome But more importantly it doesn't hog up RAM There are some add-on features with Cortana an updated reader mode and web note Which allows you to annotate the web, but for real-world usage. It's just a much better experience overall Now I know with browsers switching to a new one is unlikely for many of your users But I recommend they give it a go for at least a week and I have to say I Don't necessarily agree. I was use I've been using edge on Windows 10 this weekend and it's fine It is definitely faster than Chrome But in my head I'm thinking yeah and Chrome used to be faster than Firefox and Firefox used to be faster than IE like Whenever there's a new browser built from the ground up. It's always going to be faster That's not enough and I'm not sure any of the features of it particularly are blowing me away I like the the I haven't tried it yet because I haven't installed it on my gaming PC yet That's something I might want to do this afternoon But I'm I like the web annotation idea. That's something I've been trying to figure out In Chrome, I know those plugins that do it, but none of them are really that great So something that works pretty seamlessly like I would love that feature That's something I've always really wanted so and also if you guys know of any good plugins that work great for you in Chrome Let me know So anyway, it's a good pick though because it is it is a good browser. Check it out if you've installed Windows 10 And and give me a Mac version Is that gonna happen I don't know it might happen. It's such a mania. Who knows Send your picks to feedback at daily tech news show dot com you can find my picks at daily tech news show comm slash picks All right a couple emails before we get out of here rich from lovely Cleveland Said when Justin stated that Apple could just go ahead and buy BMW I scoffed at the idea. I mean Apple is this insanely wealthy and valuable company, but it's still BMW Then I looked at be a nobody's market cap Which is currently sitting just below $60 billion and according to a recent tech crunch article Apple has 203 billion dollars in cash on hand as of July now this would still be an enormous swing by Apple But not nearly as strenuous for the company as I would have thought I realized market cap is much less than they would actually have to pay to buy them outright But it should also be noted the Demler's market cap for their car business is actually about half that of BMWs So Apple could very easily afford to buy their way into the luxury car market. I want my Ben's in space gray, please He says I says who if they do I hope Google buys Fiat Chrysler. I want a self-driving Fiat 500. Yeah Nice. Yeah, I I would love I love the little fiat's I almost I almost bought one of those and then and Patrick Norton was like no, it's a death trap You're gonna get crushed by a Hummer on the highway Right driven by Patrick Norton. Yes Yeah, I don't know the fiat's I think they're they're kind of hype they're kind of I lean thought they were cute too and I agree. They're cute I only and I have similar car sensibilities. You do you both drive Audi's for instance. Yeah So, yeah, I don't know. I Don't think Apple will buy a car maker. I don't think they'll go that far But then I keep changing my tune on Apple as we've been talking about so it's certainly within the realm of possibility I guess the reason I still don't believe that is Apple keeps a lot of cash on hand So that they can always have a lot of cash on hand and this buying a car maker would exhaust a big pile of their money Mm-hmm. Yeah, that would be that's a that's a very very large investment But if they're looking to get into the car world, you got to go big Got to go big Harish a fellow patron from India. Thank you boss says just wanted to point out something about Top Gear's contract with Amazon Apparently online was the only way forward for the three former Top Gear presenters as clauses in their contract said they couldn't start a show on any rival network for two years However, BBC missed out on the loophole of online options So Amazon Prime or Netflix was the only way to go in order to start the new show And the links to a story at the telegraph that talks about that Exactly that makes so much sense. In fact, I'm embarrassed that I didn't think about that earlier because of course of course That's why yeah, no it does make perfect sense And it's one of those rare cases where being the online version actually is the advantage Rather than someone saying well hold on you didn't negotiate the online rights. So you don't get to show that That that's really interesting. Thank you for the email Harish. Appreciate that And that's it for this episode.

It's never a technique show not your show It's always sunny in Philadelphia is the name of the show. Okay, then not so sunny in Philadelphia is pretty good. Okay.

That's I don't know what you mean. I could spell fine. I can't type I'm actually a very good speller. I can show you my report cards When you're thinking about it, yeah Yeah, I just can't type and then I don't pay attention those two things combined make for disaster At least I at least I admit it Trying to find the original the new one. Oh So I tried on the suit for Jared Justin's wedding and a fit. Oh good. Yeah, so we're all good Excellent a I need to find I need to get a an outfit some kind of costume So what is your role? Is that always that a secret? I don't know. That's probably a secret. Yeah. Yeah And when I say suit, I mean space suit Yes, I Am an astronaut. What was that? That was sort of laser theme song Okay, that's what I wanted. That's what I wanted I am exporting Not so sunny in Philadelphia is the title in case you were wondering It feels good to be back It was a whole week out of the out of the saddle seriously And then you know Thursday and Friday. I did this show, but they weren't normal shows Mmm. They were good shows. Hey, you got the hat trick. I just realized What does that mean? You're on Thursday Friday and Monday show three in a row. Wow Wow, look at that Back to back to back Belmont Are they sick of me yet? They're probably sick of me. You three petered sick of me. I Don't know. We used to do a show five days a week together That's true That's true. Do you remember how hard that felt when Molly first went out on maternity leave? Isn't that hilarious to me. Yeah, I Remember we were like, okay, we can we could probably do this. Just the two of us. Yeah, man. Yeah You know it Oh, there it is. There you are son of a B Here we go What are you doing? I'm adding sound effects to sound board. Oh, okay Is what now if you get the ipad app will it sync Directly with that desktop app or do you still have to use itunes? I don't know Because that's the only thing I don't like about this app is that you have to use itunes to put things on it You quick burns That's like my uh, it's ambrosia. Is that the right? Yeah In case anybody's wondering what we're talking about ambrosia makes a soundboard app So you're gonna you're gonna try to play those live while we're recording. I think so. Yeah, that'd be that'd be awesome I've always wanted to do that but because I'm not the source recording Yeah, I always felt felt like it was you know, it was a bad idea because if If my audio gets broken up over the internet or something Right. No, yeah, I'm gonna try it. I think that'll be interesting I'm gonna test it now actually Lunacris speed You got a sword and you got a laser I gotta add that You've got a friend. It's pay crayon Oh Where's the final here it is All right, and archive.org always uploads faster than soundcloud What about archive.org It always uploads faster than soundcloud. Hmm. That's weird I think it's because soundcloud does processing I know it does processing. I think that's what the delay is. I don't think archive does any processing It just puts the file over there So I can hear the things the sound effects, but I don't hear them through the feet. I just kind of hear them off Oh, no, I wasn't trying to um Okay. Yeah, no Yeah, no Yeah, no, yeah, no Oh, man, I really hadn't had much time to read uh uprooted This past week.
