(00:00):
[Speaker 0]Hello, everybody. Welcome to Geek News Central episode
[Speaker 0]eighteen forty seven. This is your one of
[Speaker 0]your two hosts, Chris Cochran, speaking today. I
[Speaker 0]just wanna start the episode making a quick
[Speaker 0]apology for missing my episode last week. Thankfully,
[Speaker 0]Ray was able to come through and deliver
[Speaker 0]an amazing episode for you guys. So if
[Speaker 0]you haven't checked that out yet, be sure
[Speaker 0]to go give that a listen. You know,

(00:21):
[Speaker 0]our goal when we first announced that we
[Speaker 0]are gonna be taking over our dad's podcast
[Speaker 0]and continuing his legacy was to continue, you
[Speaker 0]know, the same amount of volume of shows
[Speaker 0]that, you know, he he had, going, which
[Speaker 0]is Monday and Thursday. You know, as we
[Speaker 0]start to do more and more episodes, we're
[Speaker 0]starting to get more into a flow and
[Speaker 0]understanding of how to run the podcast. So
[Speaker 0]we really just wanna emphasize, you know, our

(00:41):
[Speaker 0]gratefulness. And we just wanna thankful thank you
[Speaker 0]guys for continuing and supporting us throughout this
[Speaker 0]transitional time in this weird, weird, weird period
[Speaker 0]of the podcast. Yeah. But pretty much, you
[Speaker 0]know, like last week, I just got caught
[Speaker 0]up with work and, personal endeavors. Outside of
[Speaker 0]work, I am a freelance videographer and photographer

(01:01):
[Speaker 0]and work has been slow recently. So, you
[Speaker 0]know, well, freelance work has been slow at
[Speaker 0]least. So, you know, me and my buddies,
[Speaker 0]we wanted to keep the creative juices going.
[Speaker 0]So we decided to shoot a spec ad
[Speaker 0]of the Apple Air Max Pro headset. You
[Speaker 0]know, if you don't know what spec ad
[Speaker 0]is, it's basically an unpaid advertisement. You know,
[Speaker 0]Apple didn't reach out to us to make
[Speaker 0]a commercial. It's just something we did for

(01:21):
[Speaker 0]fun. You know, basically making a fake commercial.
[Speaker 0]We just like to do it just to
[Speaker 0]test our, you know, our director ability and
[Speaker 0]our cinematography ability. It's just a good time,
[Speaker 0]you know, to get out of the house
[Speaker 0]and do something other than work, you know.
[Speaker 0]I shoot on two different cameras. So I
[Speaker 0]shoot on the Canon R six, which is
[Speaker 0]my photography camera, and like my vlogging camera.

(01:42):
[Speaker 0]But I also shoot on a cinema camera
[Speaker 0]called the Blackmagic six ks. That has been
[Speaker 0]such a joy to shoot with. I bought
[Speaker 0]it earlier this year. And man, you don't
[Speaker 0]really know the difference of, you know, video
[Speaker 0]quality until you put a until until you
[Speaker 0]get your hands on a cinema camera. Let
[Speaker 0]me tell you that. Ever since I've got
[Speaker 0]my hands on my on my on my
[Speaker 0]cinema camera, I've been doing nothing but taking

(02:04):
[Speaker 0]every opportunity I could to shoot with that
[Speaker 0]thing because it's such a joy. It's been
[Speaker 0]I've had the most fun with it and,
[Speaker 0]I can't wait to see the content I
[Speaker 0]am going to produce with it. Now, honestly,
[Speaker 0]that's just like just last week, I think
[Speaker 0]that just goes to show for everyone, you
[Speaker 0]know, take some time for yourself, you know.
[Speaker 0]Get out there and do something fun. Do

(02:25):
[Speaker 0]something other than work. It's healthy. It your
[Speaker 0]body deserves it. You deserve it. So, yeah.
[Speaker 0]Once in a while, just make sure make
[Speaker 0]sure you do You you just step away
[Speaker 0]from work. That's all I'm trying to say.
[Speaker 0]Now we got a fun show planned for
[Speaker 0]you guys today, so we're gonna get right
[Speaker 0]into it. My first topic, it's really intriguing
[Speaker 0]to me. So we're gonna be talking about

(02:47):
[Speaker 0]the world's smallest AI computer. K? So the
[Speaker 0]g g a Spark, it's basically a mini
[Speaker 0]AI supercomputer built by NVIDIA, the same company
[Speaker 0]behind the GPU that powered gaming rigs and
[Speaker 0]data centers. Now what's wild is that it's
[Speaker 0]only two point six pounds and it costs
[Speaker 0]three thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars. But
[Speaker 0]it's capable of doing work that used to

(03:08):
[Speaker 0]require massive servers. It uses NVIDIA's new Grace
[Speaker 0]Blackwell Superchip, which combines a powerful CPU and
[Speaker 0]GPU into one compact system. In simple terms,
[Speaker 0]this little box can train and run advanced
[Speaker 0]AI models right on your desk. Now this
[Speaker 0]isn't meant for the average consumer. K? It's
[Speaker 0]built for AI developers, the people who create
[Speaker 0]and train artificial intelligence systems. Normally, these developers

(03:30):
[Speaker 0]have to run expensive cloud servers or use
[Speaker 0]giant data centers, but the DGX Spark changes
[Speaker 0]that by letting them build and test AI
[Speaker 0]locally without relying on outside infrastructure. So this
[Speaker 0]means faster experimentation, lower cost, and more innovation
[Speaker 0]coming from smaller teams or even individuals. Now
[Speaker 0]the g d the DGX Spark shows just

(03:51):
[Speaker 0]how far AI hardware has come. It's a
[Speaker 0]glimpse of the future where powerful AI tools
[Speaker 0]don't just live in massive cloud facilities, but
[Speaker 0]can exist on your desk or in your
[Speaker 0]backpack. The shift could democratize AI development, letting
[Speaker 0]startups, students, and independent creators build new technology
[Speaker 0]from anywhere. In other words, the power of
[Speaker 0]AI is becoming more accessible, and that could

(04:12):
[Speaker 0]speed up innovation in everything from healthcare to
[Speaker 0]gaming and to content creation. So for most
[Speaker 0]of us, the DJ Spark isn't something we're
[Speaker 0]gonna buy, but it does represent a major
[Speaker 0]shift in how AI gets built. Instead of
[Speaker 0]huge corporations being the only ones with access
[Speaker 0]to powerful hardware, now smaller teams, universities, and
[Speaker 0]even solo developers can create next gen AI

(04:32):
[Speaker 0]tools right from their desks. That means faster
[Speaker 0]innovation, smarter apps, and more personalized technology trickling
[Speaker 0]down to everyday devices. In short, this little
[Speaker 0]mini supercomputer could help the next big AI
[Speaker 0]breakthrough come from someone's home office instead of
[Speaker 0]a billion dollar lab. Like I said in
[Speaker 0]the last episode that I was talking about,
[Speaker 0]like, it's such a fun time to be

(04:52):
[Speaker 0]alive. Every single day, AI is like, it's,
[Speaker 0]it never ceases to amaze me. Something new
[Speaker 0]comes out, a new innovation, new, you know,
[Speaker 0]invention, I can't wait to see what this
[Speaker 0]next year, one to ten years is gonna
[Speaker 0]look like and I can't wait to see
[Speaker 0]what's gonna come out of the DGX Spark,
[Speaker 0]you know, a lot of fun things. Wanna

(05:16):
[Speaker 0]transition into Apple. Okay? So Apple may launch
[Speaker 0]their m five powered iPad Pro, Vision Pro,
[Speaker 0]and MacBook Pro this week. Alright? So Apple
[Speaker 0]is preparing to launch their new m five
[Speaker 0]powered versions of the iPad Pro, Vision Pro
[Speaker 0]headset, and MacBook Pro. These new chips are
[Speaker 0]expected to bring faster performance, better battery life,

(05:37):
[Speaker 0]and more efficient AI processing. Apple may announce
[Speaker 0]them through a press release rather than a
[Speaker 0]big event suggesting that, you know, it's a
[Speaker 0]refinement year, not a full redesign. To touch
[Speaker 0]up on the iPad Vision Pro and the
[Speaker 0]MacBook, the m five Apple Pro is Apple's
[Speaker 0]flagship tablet. K? Geekbench six benchmarks show the

(05:59):
[Speaker 0]m five chip delivering up to twelve percent
[Speaker 0]faster multi core CPU performance and thirty six
[Speaker 0]percent faster GPU performance compared to the current
[Speaker 0]m four model. The new tablet will feature
[Speaker 0]a minimum of twelve gigabytes RAM and removes
[Speaker 0]the iPad Pro text from its back panel.
[Speaker 0]Other than that, no other major design changes
[Speaker 0]are expected. Leading into the Vision Pro, the

(06:22):
[Speaker 0]Vision Pro refresh will include the m five
[Speaker 0]chip alongside improved comfort features. Apple plans to
[Speaker 0]bundle a new dual kit band headshot with
[Speaker 0]updated headset and may introduce a space black
[Speaker 0]color option. However, reportedly, this isn't enough to
[Speaker 0]qualify as a second generation model because Apple
[Speaker 0]has reportedly suspended development of both a next

(06:45):
[Speaker 0]generation Vision Pro and a lower cost Vision
[Speaker 0]Air variant to focus on smart glasses technology.
[Speaker 0]Right? That's the right move. If you ask
[Speaker 0]me, they're going in the right direction. Look,
[Speaker 0]the Apple Vision Pro, it's cool. Right? But
[Speaker 0]it's such a niche product and for such

(07:06):
[Speaker 0]a niche audience that like, I don't know.
[Speaker 0]I don't know. The way the world's moving,
[Speaker 0]smart glasses technology seems like the next best
[Speaker 0]thing, you know? Because I don't know. With
[Speaker 0]the with the vision pros, it it had
[Speaker 0]such a big boost in popularity when it
[Speaker 0]first came out. But after that first two
[Speaker 0]weeks, it was done. No one talked about

(07:26):
[Speaker 0]it. No one really cared. I have never
[Speaker 0]seen anyone wear the Apple Vision Pro and
[Speaker 0]headset, headset in public. You know, I know
[Speaker 0]there's that's an option to do. But if
[Speaker 0]you ask me, it's a little goofy. Alright?
[Speaker 0]I know some people may use it at
[Speaker 0]home or in their work life, but at
[Speaker 0]the end of the day, like, it's just,
[Speaker 0]it's not, I feel like they're going the

(07:48):
[Speaker 0]right direction because with the glasses, you know,
[Speaker 0]like take the Ray Ban Metas, for example,
[Speaker 0]you know, I see at least ten plus
[Speaker 0]people days, ten people would, ten plus people
[Speaker 0]every single day wearing the Ray Ban Meta
[Speaker 0]glasses, you know? So just imagine what their
[Speaker 0]Apple smart glasses will do. I don't know.
[Speaker 0]The VR headset, it's just big, It's heavy.

(08:09):
[Speaker 0]It's goofy looking. It's just it's an alley
[Speaker 0]that I feel like they're gonna go down
[Speaker 0]and it's just gonna go nowhere. Right? But
[Speaker 0]that's my opinion. I don't know if that
[Speaker 0]makes sense, but move on before I continue
[Speaker 0]rambling. Let's talk about the MacBook. The MacBook
[Speaker 0]Pro is set to launch with the vanilla
[Speaker 0]m five chip. So the base fourteen inch

(08:30):
[Speaker 0]MacBook Pro, it's ready for launch with the
[Speaker 0]m five chip. Though higher end models featuring
[Speaker 0]m five pro and m five mac chips,
[Speaker 0]they won't arrive until early twenty twenty six.
[Speaker 0]Apple stores are already experiencing inventory shortages of
[Speaker 0]m four based models while maintaining normal stock
[Speaker 0]levels of higher tier configurations, typically signaling signaling
[Speaker 0]an imminent product refresh. Yesterday was Columbus Day

(08:53):
[Speaker 0]in the US, so announcements may begin today,
[Speaker 0]October fourteenth, or later in the week. So
[Speaker 0]something to keep an eye out for. Going
[Speaker 0]back to that little VR headset talk, just
[Speaker 0]gonna keep this little next next article short
[Speaker 0]and short and simple for you guys. We're
[Speaker 0]gonna talk about the Samsung's XR headset. K.
[Speaker 0]Project Muhan. So Samsung's long rumored XR headset,

(09:14):
[Speaker 0]codename Project Muhan, has leaked again. And it's
[Speaker 0]shaping up to be Samsung's answer to Apple
[Speaker 0]Vision Pro. It's expected to feature ion track
[Speaker 0]ion hand tracking, multiple external cameras, and a
[Speaker 0]new one u I x r interface designed
[Speaker 0]specifically for mixed reality. Now this marks Samsung's
[Speaker 0]return to the ARVR space after years away.

(09:35):
[Speaker 0]Unlike earlier headsets that relied on smartphones, Project
[Speaker 0]Muhan will be a stand alone device running
[Speaker 0]its own apps and likely powered by a
[Speaker 0]Qualcomm Snapdragon XR chip. Now if you've been
[Speaker 0]curious about virtual reality but not hesitant, but
[Speaker 0]but hesitant about Apple's price tag, sorry, Samsung
[Speaker 0]might deliver a more affordable price, for you

(09:56):
[Speaker 0]guys. It's a sign that immersive tech, once
[Speaker 0]niche, is headed for a mainstream competition with
[Speaker 0]Apple and Samsung ready to battle it out
[Speaker 0]for your living room. That last sentence, kinda
[Speaker 0]contradicts what I said. But, yeah. You already
[Speaker 0]know my opinion on the VR headsets, you
[Speaker 0]know? I don't need to say much. I
[Speaker 0]think Samsung will be better off putting their
[Speaker 0]focus on the eyeglasses, if you ask me.

(10:18):
[Speaker 0]But moving on, Moving on from that, enough
[Speaker 0]talk about VR headsets. I do just wanna
[Speaker 0]take a quick break. Alright? So we wanna

[Speaker 0]quick announcement. If you guys do not know,
[Speaker 0]Windows ten support, it ended today. K? So
[Speaker 0]at this point, technical assistance featuring updates and
[Speaker 0]security updates, they will no longer be provided.
[Speaker 0]If you have devices running on Windows ten,

(13:31):
[Speaker 0]we recommend you upgrading them to Windows eleven,
[Speaker 0]a more modern, secure, and highly efficient computing
[Speaker 0]experience. If devices do not meet the technical
[Speaker 0]require requirements to run on Windows eleven, you
[Speaker 0]know, we recommend that you enroll in the
[Speaker 0]Windows ten consumer extended security updates program or
[Speaker 0]replace the device with one that supports Windows
[Speaker 0]eleven. Keeping that super short and simple, yeah.

(13:52):
[Speaker 0]Windows ten. Support all pal all pal. Today's
[Speaker 0]the last day. Leading into some space news
[Speaker 0]for you guys. You know, we wanna try
[Speaker 0]and trinkle in some space news in there
[Speaker 0]because like we said, our father loved space
[Speaker 0]news. He couldn't get enough of it. So
[Speaker 0]this one's pretty interesting. It's a little controversial
[Speaker 0]topic. So something something all of us can

(14:13):
[Speaker 0]talk about. Solar power from space mirrors could
[Speaker 0]revolutionize energy but alarm scientists. Okay? So Reflect
[Speaker 0]Orbitals vision involve orbiting mirrors reflecting sunlight down
[Speaker 0]to specific locations on Earth. Now an ambitious
[Speaker 0]proposal by US startup Reflect Orbital has astronomers
[Speaker 0]and environmentalists environmentalists deeply concerned. The California based

(14:38):
[Speaker 0]company plans to deploy a massive constellation of
[Speaker 0]satellites designed to beam sunlight on demand to
[Speaker 0]Earth. It could extend the operating hours of
[Speaker 0]solar farms even into the dark. Although the
[Speaker 0]project offers novel renewable energy solutions, critics caution
[Speaker 0]that it could alter the night sky by
[Speaker 0]creating light pollution. Now the TESS satellite, it

(15:02):
[Speaker 0]might launch in twenty twenty six. K? So
[Speaker 0]these satellites will use mirrors that are made
[Speaker 0]from Mylar, a durable ultra thin material to
[Speaker 0]capture sunlight and direct it to targeted spots
[Speaker 0]on the ground. If it's successful, this technique
[Speaker 0]could help, could enable solar farms to generate
[Speaker 0]power even after the sun has set. The
[Speaker 0]company has already applied to launch its first

(15:23):
[Speaker 0]eighteen meter test satellite named, I might butcher
[Speaker 0]this name, Aranzo one in twenty twenty six.
[Speaker 0]The launch license has been requested from the
[Speaker 0]Federal Communications Commission, and current reports indicate that
[Speaker 0]the test satellite would be followed by a
[Speaker 0]constellation of roughly four thousand orbiting satellites by
[Speaker 0]two thousand and thirty. Woah. The satellites are

(15:44):
[Speaker 0]expected to orbit about six hundred twenty five
[Speaker 0]kilometers above the ground. And as per the
[Speaker 0]conversation piece, it's possible that the constellation could
[Speaker 0]eventually swell to include two hundred fifty thousand
[Speaker 0]satellites, all potentially fitted with fifty four meter
[Speaker 0]mirrors. And these satellites will reflect light roughly

(16:05):
[Speaker 0]fifteen thousand times dimmer than the midday sun
[Speaker 0]but remain brighter than a full moon. So
[Speaker 0]the existing satellites cause, they're they're the ones
[Speaker 0]that, astronomers, they're alarmed by this. Okay? Because
[Speaker 0]the existing satellites cause light pollution as an
[Speaker 0]unintended byproduct of reflecting sunlight. But reflect orbital

(16:28):
[Speaker 0]satellites are defined are designed for precisely that
[Speaker 0]purpose. Even if it's just even if just
[Speaker 0]a test satellite works as planned, it will
[Speaker 0]sometimes appear far brighter than the full moon.
[Speaker 0]A constellation of such mirrors will be devastating
[Speaker 0]to astronomy and dangerous to astronomers. These concerns,
[Speaker 0]there's there's so much concerns. I got I
[Speaker 0]got to go through all these. Okay? So

(16:49):
[Speaker 0]looking through ground telescopes like Rubin, the brightness
[Speaker 0]of these mirrors can nearly match the sun's
[Speaker 0]surface, posing a risk of permanent eye damage.
[Speaker 0]Furthermore, the constellation brightness would drown out faint
[Speaker 0]celestial objects and limit astronomical observations. Beyond astronomy,
[Speaker 0]the continuous illumination could disrupt the delicate daily
[Speaker 0]rhythms of nocturnal animals impacting ecosystems worldwide. Critics

(17:13):
[Speaker 0]also point out that even though reflectorbital intends
[Speaker 0]to illuminate target areas, the satellite movement will
[Speaker 0]cause a light beam to sweep over large
[Speaker 0]regions of Earth inevitably inevitably and could produce
[Speaker 0]flashes in the night sky that are brighter
[Speaker 0]than the moon. Apart from the light pollution
[Speaker 0]concerns, the physics of reflecting sunlight from orbit

(17:33):
[Speaker 0]reveals major challenges to reflect Orbital's plan. Since
[Speaker 0]low Earth orbit satellites pass over location in
[Speaker 0]about three point five minutes, maintaining continuous illumination
[Speaker 0]for even one hour demands thousands of satellites.
[Speaker 0]Reflectorbito's own staggering projection of two hundred fifty
[Speaker 0]thousand satellites will still calculate to only delivering
[Speaker 0]the target twenty percent of midday sun to

(17:55):
[Speaker 0]a very limited number of regions simultaneously. The
[Speaker 0]comp the company asserts that it will redirect
[Speaker 0]sunlight in a manner that is brief, predictable,
[Speaker 0]and targeted, and promises to share satellite location
[Speaker 0]data to help observatories avoid disruption. The American
[Speaker 0]Astronomical Society August survey revealed that the majority
[Speaker 0]of astronomers believe the proposed satellite constellation would

(18:16):
[Speaker 0]negatively impact their work. The number of satellites
[Speaker 0]cluttering Earth's orbit is rapidly increasing primarily due
[Speaker 0]to large constellations launched by private companies like
[Speaker 0]SpaceX, Amazon, and Eutelsat OneWeb. Okay. That was
[Speaker 0]a mouthful. All right. I apologize. I got
[Speaker 0]a lot of butchering words in there, but
[Speaker 0]that was a lot to read. This seems

(18:38):
[Speaker 0]messy. Okay. Like if you ask me, there's
[Speaker 0]just too much concerns. Right. You gotta think
[Speaker 0]about the animals, you gotta think about light
[Speaker 0]pollution, you gotta think about the observatories, you
[Speaker 0]gotta think about all types of stuff, man.
[Speaker 0]Like it's, it seems messy. It seems like
[Speaker 0]a very cool plan. And I see where
[Speaker 0]they're going with this to, you know, help
[Speaker 0]revolutionize energy. But at the same time, there's

(19:00):
[Speaker 0]just so much flaws in the plan. There's
[Speaker 0]so much holes. So if this does go
[Speaker 0]through, it's definitely something concerning, you know, you
[Speaker 0]know, very concerning, but, you know, the way
[Speaker 0]it's looking like right now, it's it's probably
[Speaker 0]gonna be restricted or might not happen at
[Speaker 0]all. So we're just gonna have to wait
[Speaker 0]and see. Honestly, it's just one of those
[Speaker 0]things we're just gonna have to wait and

(19:20):
[Speaker 0]see. Then again, kudos to them for coming
[Speaker 0]up, coming with a trying to come up
[Speaker 0]with a new idea and good luck to
[Speaker 0]them and we'll see what happens. Finally, I
[Speaker 0]want to close out this episode. If you
[Speaker 0]guys didn't know, I'm just gonna do a
[Speaker 0]little touch up on Amazon's twenty twenty five
[Speaker 0]hardware event. So if you guys missed it,
[Speaker 0]it was at the end of September. So

(19:41):
[Speaker 0]I just wanna give you guys a little
[Speaker 0]rundown on what's going on with it. Amazon
[Speaker 0]announced a new lineup of echo speakers, fire
[Speaker 0]TVs, and smart displays, and many designed to
[Speaker 0]run Alexa Plus, their next gen AI assistant
[Speaker 0]right away. The new devices, Echo Show, Echo
[Speaker 0]Studio, Echo Dot Max are more powerful with
[Speaker 0]better cameras, audio, and optimized for AI voice

(20:03):
[Speaker 0]interaction. Fire TV devices get got updates too
[Speaker 0]with new models and OS enhancements designed to
[Speaker 0]leverage AI for smarter content discovery and smoother
[Speaker 0]performance. The announcement signals that Amazon is betting
[Speaker 0]heavily on AI powered smart homes. The hardware
[Speaker 0]is the canvas for start software like Alexa
[Speaker 0]plus to shine. For users, if you have

(20:25):
[Speaker 0]an Odor, Echo, or Fire device, you'll want
[Speaker 0]to see if it's supported for the new
[Speaker 0]features. If you're shopping, these new models might
[Speaker 0]become your go to. Yeah. Really exciting tech
[Speaker 0]things to look forward to in the Amazon
[Speaker 0]space. I'm a personal fan of other Alexas,
[Speaker 0]Fire Stick TV, all that. I I really
[Speaker 0]love what they got going on for the

(20:45):
[Speaker 0]home tech space. But, yeah, I will leave
[Speaker 0]a link in the bio to all these
[Speaker 0]articles. I do understand I had a lot
[Speaker 0]of butchering of the words this episode. I
[Speaker 0]do wanna apologize. I had worked this morning
[Speaker 0]at seven AM. So, you know, it's been
[Speaker 0]a long day already, but wanted to get
[Speaker 0]an episode in for you guys. Honestly, like,

(21:06):
[Speaker 0]if you ask me about the seven AM
[Speaker 0]shifts, I prefer the morning shifts. Even though
[Speaker 0]I am tired right now, I have the
[Speaker 0]rest of the day to enjoy. What do
[Speaker 0]you guys what do you guys prefer? Alright?
[Speaker 0]Because, every time I get PM shifts scheduled
[Speaker 0]on my in my work, I always ask
[Speaker 0]my coworkers to trade right away because I
[Speaker 0]hate the PM shifts with a passion. Mainly

(21:27):
[Speaker 0]because, like, it's no hate to, like, the
[Speaker 0]people that were in the PM or anything
[Speaker 0]like that. It has nothing to do with
[Speaker 0]that. It's mainly just because when I wake
[Speaker 0]up in the morning and go straight to
[Speaker 0]work, I had the rest of the my
[Speaker 0]day off once I'm done. You know? I
[Speaker 0]set myself up for success. Compared to, like,
[Speaker 0]my PM shifts, like, I have such a
[Speaker 0]limited time in the morning to do what
[Speaker 0]I wanna do. And it's just, like, once

(21:50):
[Speaker 0]I go to my work once I go
[Speaker 0]to work, after work, it's like my whole
[Speaker 0]day is gone. And my day is gone,
[Speaker 0]and I have nothing to do. Like, literally
[Speaker 0]nothing to do. And, yeah, it's just it's
[Speaker 0]just why I prefer morning shifts. I'm I'm
[Speaker 0]rambling. I also wanna make a quick jump
[Speaker 0]back to what I was talking about earlier.
[Speaker 0]You know, just a quick reminder before we

(22:11):
[Speaker 0]close out. Take time for yourself. K? It's
[Speaker 0]important. You need to take care of yourself,
[Speaker 0]take care of your mind, take care of
[Speaker 0]your body, you know? Go do that thing
[Speaker 0]you wanted to do. Go shoot those photos
[Speaker 0]you wanted to do. You know? Go watch
[Speaker 0]that movie you wanted to watch. Anything, you
[Speaker 0]know? Take a step back from work, you
[Speaker 0]know? In my opinion, look, I'm only twenty
[Speaker 0]one years old. Okay. So what do I

(22:31):
[Speaker 0]know? But like you need to enjoy your
[Speaker 0]life from time to time. You need to
[Speaker 0]get out of the house and work isn't
[Speaker 0]everything in my opinion. You know what I
[Speaker 0]mean? So enjoy your life. You know what
[Speaker 0]I mean? And that's all I can really
[Speaker 0]say about that. Keep an eye out for
[Speaker 0]my brother's episode later on this week. He'll

[Speaker 0]some of the the articles he showed me,
