 Hi It's been a minute what's going on I Already did the rundown and all of that stuff. So I'm just here to chat I Came here to do two things chat And I can't remember the other one How y'all been I still Little Jet lag the weird thing about jet lag for me is It doesn't mess with my sleep. I I've gone to sleep at my normal Time and slept pretty much most of the night woke up a little bit. It's just when I'm awake. I Feel like an astronaut Hey Dalen's jet hey web at magic, but yeah, it's just everything feels a little unreal. I Imagine what's going on Yeah, yeah, just another pilot, you know I Imagine what's going on is Part of my body is seeing sunlight and telling my body. Oh, it's daytime You should be awake, but then there's this other part that just got used to releasing melatonin and things at certain Times of the day that are irrelevant to the Sun and it's like no I'm you you should be going to sleep here. Let me release the things that make you want to go to sleep Wow Wild West and I am I am I'm flattered that you would stop playing star field to say hello to me little me. I mean I mean working Working because you're a star in your field of work Yeah, man that body clock it gets you get you every time It's better than it was yesterday and I'm sure it'll be even better tomorrow On the other end when I got to Korea I'd say it took two to three days for me to feel Like I wasn't jet lagged but probably a week before I really felt like oh, I'm normal. This is this is normal Yeah you Wabbit magic had a dream Featuring me my dog and Mike TV. So Sawyer Sawyer the dog My dog jumped From Wabbit magic's roof to the roof of another house across the street. Wow, you know in his younger days I bet Sawyer could have done that man not so much anymore He can't even jump on the couch anymore because he's got arthritis, but But yeah Young young Sawyer was in your dream jumping roof to roof What was Mike TV doing there? I feel like I'm in that dream right now as a matter of fact Um What are y'all been up to how's the show been I was perturbed. I imagine I would be perturbed if my dog was jumping from roof to roof. That's not safe Uh, I didn't receive any major complaints The only complaint email that came in the entire past two weeks was about us plugging the molly woodgull, which frankly I get it. Oh, thanks. Just another pilot. Um glad to hear it Wabbit magic's still telling us about his dream. There was a big party at at Wabbit magic's house I love this Yeah, so good. I'm I'm glad to hear that the the show has been going strong. I would expect nothing less It's Wild west and the complaint wasn't so much that we were though. It was an advertisement. It was that We keep bringing it up and it's like Old kind of old news now. I don't know And I'm glad I'm glad to be missed It's that weird thing of like you want to be missed just enough But not so much that you know that anyone the people thought the show was bad or anything So it feels like that's exactly right. Is there any way to get an itinerary from my trip? Oh Yeah, actually I let me ask aileen about that because she she had notes on her ipad Not that we followed them exactly but but yeah Um and also look at my instagram if you haven't already There's a lot of I marked locations as much as I could not all the locations were there Uh for for every place I went but I would at least put the neighborhood if the actual location wasn't there Yeah, if you if you say the show's better than it's ever been, but we're glad to have you back That's perfect. If you see the show's better than it's ever been, uh, please don't ruin it by coming back Then I then I might feel But yeah, it was a good trip Um We uh, we had a great time my feet Were the only part of me that did not have a great time because we walked everywhere um They don't really have escalators in all the train stations So you're doing a lot of steps And then on top of that Just just walking from place to place walking around just kind of a normal thing on vacation Uh, my feet aren't as young as they used to be but it was worth it um Definitely eight More food than I burned calories even with all the walking. I think I gained about like five pounds Also worth it I actually took a screenshot of my steps dan And put it on instagram the last day last full day that we were in Seoul There was uh, we we did 19 000 steps that day We were regularly above 15 000 steps Thank you lord mulgar. It's good to be back Oh, yes dan 34 13 not wild west dan true. There's more than one dan Great lucky fill. It's good to be back Yeah, it was a lot of steps Did I use a selfie shop? We used one, uh, that let you uh take pictures with celebrities So put the celebrity in and then you position yourself. So That's that's me and minyongi Hanging out at the selfie shop I didn't have much down time to be honest. We would we would get up in the morning uh either eat some breakfast that we had bought at one of the pyeonghyeon convenience stores, uh the night before uh or We would uh or go out and grab grab something or like coffee or or something And then then we'd head out to a neighborhood and explore Usually come back in the in the afternoon to kind of cool off because it was pretty hot um and humid And then go back out in the evening. So honestly the downtime like on trains and stuff Uh, I I think is probably what you mean. Uh, I was reading. I read the sorden laser book Um and finished that early Um, that that's kind of what I did Most of the time when I was on the train to be honest though I was looking at neighbor maps to be like, okay, how many stops because I didn't want to miss a stop stuff like that Hey beat master. Thanks for the sub Uh, the book is moraine mchues china mountain jang zh a n g um interesting book written in 1992 but feels in many ways like it was written this year And the parts of which it doesn't kind of stick out because of that cheer cheer cheer It's uh, it's a lot wild west and you see rain vanguard freestar rangers. I get it. I get it Hey zoe brings bacon Good to see you too um Sub subways most of the time not not high speed trains, but did take one bullet train For to busan the train to busan if you've seen the movie my train ride to busan was different than the one in the movie mostly due to the lack of flesh-eating zombies Uh, it was good good train ride though Like two and a half three hours something like that to get from soul to busan Brad Pitt was not on the train Um There were free waters and they gave us cookies on the train That that that's what I saw on the train. Oh and and uh Guy I think he might have been from hong kong because he sort of spoke his english with a british accent And spoke chinese to his wife, but didn't seem to speak korean Because I asked him something in korean and he's like what? We were trying to because they were showing the wrong train number up on the screen But we're like this is the right train. They just have an update of the number, right? We were all trying to figure that out And it was the right train. We never got on the wrong train We definitely took the train in the wrong direction a few times the first few days we were there um You know like getting on the subway and then going the wrong direction being like Get back Oh korean coffee is fantastic. So the only thing about it is they don't do a lot of drip They have they have some drip in fact, they have tons of blue bottle coffee locations there But most places just do espresso The national drink of korea is the americano the iced americano particularly especially when it's hot But apparently they even drink it in the winter So you're you're dealing you're dealing we we mostly drank iced americanos, uh, frankly and they were very good um idea was one of the places we went and then we went to a lot of like boutique cafe type places, uh, that had that had coffee and pastries and Oh man the baked goods so good Salt bread We had this thing called a cheese bomb At cafe onion um Thank you. Lucky. Phil. I'm glad I look and sound refreshed Uh, I do not feel fresh in any way, but I'm glad I'm glad I'm coming off that way Uh, that's that's good to know Uh, korean bacon. Ooh good question We had bacon on very few occasions. You can you can get it. We just we weren't eating the hotel breakfasts all the time But they had your style zoe of crispy bacon at the western busan In their in their little hotel breakfast And and I did eat that quite a bit. It was good It was good. There was another place I think it might have been the western because we stayed at a western in soul than western and busan the lemuridian in soul for the remainder of the trip We never ate breakfast at lemuridian We did eat breakfast at the west ends I think the western soul had like canadian style bacon. Whereas the western busan had the american fatty bacon Oh kilbot, um It met or exceeded my expectations man in every every respect Um We kind of did all the things we planned With a couple of exceptions. There are always some things you're like, I thought we'd get to do that We never had a chance. We wanted to go up to nums on tower, which is the big the big Spire in the middle of soul and we never did that um but Uh, there was a couple other things that we never never got to. Oh, I wanted to go to the big electronics market And we just never made it over to there again We were there on the very first day and I was like, oh, well plenty of time to go back there And then we never went back But I did eat san nakji Which is the uh live octopus That was tasty. None of you will probably eat it ever I definitely had some friends who were like, nope. I will never do that Um, that was at the jung gali. Is that right jung gali the fish market in busan And it was not planned we were just getting okay Coolest thing about the fish market then this is not unique to korea. You can do this at fish markets all over the world but You go To the fish market and you pick out fish. They're fresh some of them still swimming around in little tanks and you're like, I want that one And then They're like great Uh, and they you pay for it and they give you a receipt and I go up to section 21 So you go upstairs and it's all these kitchens With seats and stuff around them. So you find section 21 you check in you're like, hey You know they're sending the fish up from downstairs Like, okay, great. Then you pay a little extra like cooking sitting fee Uh for them to cook it for you And then you sit down and eventually they bring out delicious Super fresh, uh fish So we had What was it? I think it was a rock fish some abalone and the san nakji It was uh It was good Yeah, this did this didn't take too long actually maybe because it's fish I think the The san nakji came out first because that doesn't require cooking. They just garnish it Um with the vinegar sauce and stuff, uh, then the abalone and then the rockfish was the last So good You get to look the fish in the eye be master and be like you I mean you Yeah, it was really good for the fish Uh language study Uh, I definitely was better at the end of the trip than it was at the beginning Uh, I would blank out especially when people talk to me. I was like, uh I sometimes can't understand what people are saying to me in english when i'm at a restaurant it's just a weird thing where i'm like Thinking about other things when when people talk Um, but it came in super handy a couple of times Uh once at a chicken place where it didn't feel like they spoke a lot of english At least the guy that we're talking to so ordered completely in korean. It was all good Uh, we even had some issues with apple pay that I was able to handle because they didn't they thought they took apple pay But they didn't uh, it didn't work. So we figured that out Uh, and then this tiny tiny place That served kong guksu which is like a perilla leaf noodles dish Lady was alone. She just ran the place by herself spoke no english The best part of that was when we walked in there were two koreans sitting there and they saw us And they looked at her and I didn't hear what they said I just couldn't hear it but they were kind of pointing at their phone I think reassuring her like don't worry. You can translate things on your phone So I come in she's looking at us, you know smiling, but like okay, and I was like Uh kong guksu to get you say oh and she's smile. She's like Uh, and then from then on I just spoke in korean for your limited stuff restaurant stuff But you know made her life easier. Uh, and you could tell she was relieved Did use google translate to read some stuff? especially um, when you when you check in at A lot of the um, oh, I use google translate for for signs But I actually use the iphone built-in translator for what i'm about to tell you when you uh, when you check in at some restaurants They they just have you put in a phone number So we had an e sim with a korean phone number because we knew that was a possibility And we put in our korean number, but you get it you get the text message confirmation in korean You know, and it's a big long thing of text. I could probably puzzle it out With what I know, but it was easier to just long press and be like translate And then translate And there were some signs in a couple of places like in a parks where you're like The specialized vocabulary that I don't know you shoot google translate at it work great What'd you say just another pilot? Hey Uh, Ily knows a little bit web at magic. She's picked up a little bit here and there. Yeah Yeah, the e sim thing Was the best. Uh, I was impressed with the people at the airport Uh, and their efficiency in like, you know getting us all set up Two phones less than 10 minutes They only The only thing About it was that they turned off our main line when they set it up Which is probably just standard procedure just to make sure it works, right? You don't want to you don't want to be testing it and then have it actually coming through the other line somehow So you turn it off because they said you attest text message and make sure you can surf the web and everything before you go Which is great. I'm glad they're doing that kind of quality control, right? But they didn't tell me to turn it back on Which is fine But I think for a lot of people they might not turn on the online But you can have both sims running And that way I was able to get my text messages and calls From my to my regular phone number from folks back home and stuff Shurned out to be important because we had a little vet scare with soyer. He totally fine nothing Came of it, but it was something we had to handle and I was glad that I had my My regular phone line there. I never did real-time conversation translation techno mensch Um I just used uh, I just used the the translation stuff and I would use pop-a-go To kind of check if I was like, I want to say this to the taxi driver, but am I may oh, okay? Yes, that's right Um pop-a-go is great So pop-a-go google translate and and ios is built-in translation were were the uh Were the big ones I used I didn't do any real-time stuff Yeah, wild west end, right like I'll be honest and I found this to be fairly true in japan too when I visited but things just work every time i'm used to like Okay, we're gonna have to do this thing. It's probably gonna take a half hour Things work man in korea. They they they they're efficient Uh, I had my e-sim on ios because You couldn't Get an e-sim With the plan that let you make outgoing texts and voice calls from your korean number on the pixel Through lg u plus for some reason they would only set that up on samsung or iphone's Um, so I did it on the iphone Uh, hey w scottis one though. Good to see you man Uh, and then eileen chose to do hers on our iphone Instead of her galaxy, but I don't remember why now But yeah, we we both did them on on the iphone's Uh, and then we had google fi on our android phones which worked great never had any issues You know, basically what google fi does is like whatever your data plan is That's your data plan and if you're in another country, it's just you you still pay for the data No, I don't think you can do more than two at the same time dan 3 4 1 3 Be faster Yeah, so the translation have to Spanish to korean. That was one thing I found interesting is The non koreans we ran into we're almost never other americans a lot of french um I think some brazilians Uh, but but but rarely rarely americans Uh, apple pay for the most part flying out They they take tap everywhere There's a few places that were set up for tap, but didn't do apple pay And then when they'd see I had an american credit card They're like, oh just insert the chip and i'd be like no this this one has tap And they would be surprised Uh, so if you're a pixel user technomancer you can get The plan that lets you receive texts and voice calls At a korean number, but just not initiate them It's just a subtle situation Um, I don't know why though I don't know why that is however A lot of people they don't need to make outgoing texts. I just wanted that flexibility. I wanted the ability to do that um, you I wouldn't have needed it to do Uh to do the restaurant stuff, but um apparently But I just wanted to make sure I had a korean number and everything. Hey palo. Good to see you Uh Yeah, paris baguette, man Paris baguette Huge huge in korea from korea. It was started in korea Uh, no technomancer, uh Only samsung pay in some places samsung pay everywhere if you had samsung pay you could use it Although I only was having problems getting their samsung pay to work. We're not sure why at some places Um apple pay in most places places and then if they had apple pay of google wallet as well They start to threaten you if you're out of the us for more than 30 days. That's funny Yeah, we had three or four situations where we where we put in our our phone number for text But I know in a couple of those we could have still gotten seated without having a text message We just had to tell them and it would have been a Bigger deal. It was just easy to use the phone number Sim and an e-sim uh, Daniel, uh an e-sim Means you don't have to have a physical card to put in the phone um so an e-sim means you just scan a qr code and the sim That would the the information that is on the little sim card Just propagates on your phone and then in your phone you can turn it on and off like you'd like taking it out et cetera So it's just easier because you don't have to pop open your phone and put the sim card in um And you can have multiple e-sims on and activate Up to two at a time on the iphone this is it six Yeah, I know it's a lot you can only have two active But you can have multiples whereas with physical sim cards. You're limited to how many slots you you have uh palo me Only because I've been taking a class Any tech related stuff I saw there that we don't have in the us um Nothing huge sticks out for me. We went to this immersive virtual exhibit about the tv show alchemy of souls which is on netflix and That was incredible. I've got tons of pictures of that up on on instagram Robots everywhere those little rolly robots, you know that that that kind of come up And they have the weird-looking eyes and you can talk to them not just at the airport saw them at several places Like mall there was one in the mall Oh, yeah beatmaster. That's the other thing about the sims. You can decide which sim does what? uh and and so I set the korean one to be the primary one because it was unlimited data But I could have it fall back To my t-mobile my main sim, but I didn't Uh, I basically said only fall to the t-mobile if there is no service from lgu plus And there was never no service from lgu plus where there was t-mobile So I was never using my t-mobile data, which internationally. I think they give you like five gigabytes or something And then you have to and then you have to pay to add because I've done that in the past So I never used that but I was still able to get all my texts to my us phone number and send texts That's the other weird thing Is I had to figure out like how to make sure to send a text from my us phone number. You also had to re authorize iMessage to work with your us number to keep all of your blue bubbles blue iLean had a problem with that where I was I was not able to send her iMessages through the trip until we got back and deleted the e sim. I'm not sure what was going up there um But yeah, this is the first trip internationally where I never worried about data. I got I we had a 14 day trip got a 15 day e sim with unlimited data and service was great I had looked up and lgu plus was apparently the best service and it worked great for me. So Yeah, I never thought about Data they have wi-fi all over the place and we did use wi-fi, but I don't think we would have had to Uh, there were drones, uh, but we never saw any There was a drone show At the bridge in busan that got rained out. We went to the bridge. We're ready to watch it and they're like it's been canceled Rain, sorry, except it wasn't raining at the time. But anyway, um And that probably the winds And then we found out about a drone show in soul at one of the bridges after we left. So we missed that one See in a few hours wild west and he's probably gone already Yeah, t-mobile international, uh, isn't I think it's lte now. It used to be just 3g. I think it's lte, but it's not 5g Yeah, I think I could have used wi-fi only calls on the pixel for google 5 But it wouldn't have had an it wouldn't have had outgoing number. You it wouldn't have served Yeah, I don't think it would have worked with that number Yeah, dan dan 3413 you you see a double bar. I took a screenshot of it. I think I put it up on mastodon You see like the whatever your primary service in my case It was lge We'll have the top bars and then you'll have little dots under that for whatever your secondary service I know I had to be a green bubble stuck world crazy Um, I did finish the discord integration and there's a twitch roll Uh, but killbot 404 if you have a patreon roll that supersedes your twitch roll So maybe that's why you don't see anything but it should be should be there Uh pricing for the e-sim in korea was 50 I have the receipt somewhere 55,000 won for the unlimited data And then an extra five thousand won For the for 200 minutes of calls and the text message plan and then you could retop that off We never we never went through the 200 minutes. So it was just the five thousand won Um, so Yeah, something like 60 bucks. I guess 50 bucks actually E-sim is the way of the present if you have a if you've bought a phone within the last few years You've got e-sim and that's just kind of the way it works Oh, you don't have patreon then. Yeah, it should it should work Not sure why you wouldn't see it, but I definitely Uh, let me go into the d-tenus discord I definitely see the twitch roll Twitch roll Is it under the android faithful? Can you collect? Discord your interface sometimes Oh, it's all these production assistants Yeah, there's like a dozen people signed up in the twitch roll Ooh two twitch rolls cliff singer give one to killbot 404 then Horton all the twitch rolls Tootsie rules I'm trying to think of other technology stuff. I'm probably forgetting something but Um Of course she did daniel. She always does Hi pow. Oh, I see you in general Twitch. Yeah, there's oh, there's 31 31 twitch subscribers I am I am the man it I'm the the tier three member Yeah, I don't see killbot. I don't see you on there. So There's probably just some more steps you need to go through Hello Oh home entertainment I didn't really see anything particularly Interest, you know weird for home entertainment. I I would say in the wild I mentioned this on the editor's desk about 50 50 Uh samsung versus iphone in the wild with some some google phones and and others here and there but Not as samsung dominant as I would have expected I would have expected it to be much more in samsung's favor a lot of iPhones out there a twitch roll is Uh like a cinnamon roll but covered in twitch Now it's a role I didn't see that one either killbot Yeah, it's a it's twitch is sweet All right Well then Yes, just just google it. No, it's discord has rolls So you you can have a roll Uh, you know that gives you more Access to different channels and stuff and there's a twitch roll in rd tns discord I savor rolls cliff singer Twitch roll ryan would be um one made of live octopus Uh In server settings under integrations You think that's it? There's a sync button for twitch I don't see a sync button Thanks paolo Uh, yeah, so we're going to be talking about x's id stuff today We're going to be talking about tiktok and the fact that uh, everybody seems to have cooled down on banning it in the us Uh, and then we're going to be talking about Uh The a little some like leftover things, you know, there's always things that come out after the apple announcements We're going to talk about the fact that it was pre-order day for people and then some of the other things Especially the fact that usb c does not mean they Added usb 3.2 To anything and stuff like that all right That said I'm going to get back uh to prep Because I need to make sure I stay awake for the show Uh, but thanks everybody. It's good to see you all Um, and uh, I I'm so happy to see you all in here. This is this is great It's a good way to To kind of get myself back in the flow Uh, so thanks. Thanks for for showing up and hanging out All right, everybody Talk to you soon
