Government data doesn’t just live in vaults anymore, and the latest suspected foreign cyberattack at the Congressional Budget Office proves how fragile our policy pipeline can be. We unpack why breaches keep landing on core agencies, what “zero trust” actually changes, and how identity, patch cadence, and monitoring fit together when the stakes are Congressional forecasts and budget models.
Then we pivot hard into the human side of tech: a Detroit police officer’s pantsless Zoom court moment. It’s funny until you realize how remote optics shape trust in high-stakes settings. We share practical rules for video etiquette, attention, and boundaries that actually stick. From there, we wade into the strangest product of the week: IKEA’s $200 “phone bed” that gamifies bedtime with vouchers. Silly? Maybe. But the ritual taps real sleep science, and we explain cheaper ways to build the same habit without feeding your charger a duvet.
We also bring a hands-on pick from Gadgets & Gear: Raycon’s Essential Open Ear earbuds. Open-ear audio makes more sense for city walking and office life than full isolation, and the battery life plus sub-$60 sale price make them an easy upgrade. Between sips of Remus Repeal Reserve Series 5—a blend that rewards a little air time—we revisit Microsoft’s early tablet misfire and how Surface ultimately learned the right lessons. And yes, we end with a grin at LEGO’s lavish Star Trek Enterprise set, because sometimes tech joy is the point.
If you enjoyed the mix of sharp takes, practical gear, and a little levity, follow and subscribe. Share this with a friend who needs better Zoom habits or better earbuds. And drop a review with the one habit you’re changing this week—camera angle, sleep ritual, or both.

We're glad to have Odie, ourproducer at the control panel

Welcome everyone.
Let's start today's show.
Introduction (01:32):
Now on today's show.
Nathan Mumm (01:36):
All right, welcome to Tech Time Radio.
Today on the show we have Gwenback with our gadgets and gear
segments, and we have a Zoommeeting failure that will make
you go, hmm.
But now it's time for thelatest headlines in the world of
technology.
Introduction (01:49):
Here are our top technology stories of the week.
Nathan Mumm (01:53):
All right, the US Congressional Budget Office was
targeted by a suspected foreigncyber attack.
Let's go to Lisa Walker formore on the story.
Lisa Walker (02:04):
The Congressional Budget Office confirms a
cybersecurity breach, likely bya foreign hacker that may have
exposed sensitive communicationswith Congress.
Spokesperson Caitlin Emma saysthe agency acted quickly to
contain the incident and hasadded new security measures.
The Washington Post broke thestory, noting officials
(02:25):
discovered the hack recently andfear emails between CBO
analysts and congressionaloffices may have been
compromised.
Well, folks, I'm sleepingsoundly with our national
security getting compromisedevery few months.
Aren't you?
Back to the studio.
Mike Gorday (02:42):
Well, that was a little snarky.
Nathan Mumm (02:44):
Was it?
Uh, you know what?
Lisa uh just decided to go forit all there.
I guess, I guess she must besleeping much better than I'm
doing because let's talk aboutthis.
The CBO is a nonpartisan agencythat provides lawmakers with
economic analysis, costestimates for proposed
legislation.
So they're the ones that do allthe budget.
So if we're gonna put in cybersecurity people that need to be
(03:05):
hired and do certain stuff,they'll have a price for that.
So they come up with all of theforecast economic budget
information.
Now, they're a part of acybersecurity attack, a known
entity, which is uh China.
I don't know if you've everheard of them.
Have you heard of China?
No, no.
So China uh main hacking groupwas actually the group that
decided to compromise what theyhad going on there.
(03:26):
Now, let me let me just ask youthis.
You know what?
I I I'm kind of about numbers.
You know what?
Do you know that sincePresident Donald Trump took
office, we have 12 majorsecurity incidents that have
happened.
So it's just very interesting.
This is who has beencompromised so far this year
that we have talked about onTech Time Radio.
Now, we can't cover everysingle cyber attack to our
government, otherwise, we wouldjust have uh 12 of our shows
(03:50):
dedicated to this.
But we have the U.S.
Treasury Department, theDepartment of Health and Human
Services, the Department ofJustice, the Department of
Interior, and the Committee onForeign Investments in the
United States, which reviewsforeign investment for national
security risks, have all beenbreached this year.
So there you go.
You know what?
Be careful with your data.
And if you're the United Statesgovernment, uh I don't think it
(04:11):
matters.
Be uh be even more careful.
I know.
You know, I I just wish thatyou know what the government
needs to hire back somecybersecurity people that can
help us in this incident.
Let's hope that we can figureout these uh breaches and and
not have them happen anymore.
I you know, we can get rid ofthe internet, that would work.
You get rid of the internet?
Okay.
I don't know if that would workgood for our six streaming uh
(04:32):
platforms.
Mike Gorday (04:32):
Well, it might yeah, it might not work for us,
but it'd certainly work for youknow going back to going back to
the good old days when you hadto write a check for your
groceries.
Nathan Mumm (04:41):
Uh I sat down and had to write checks this week.
Do you do you know how long ittakes for people to deposit
checks?
I can write a check forsomething.
I grew up in that.
And it literally Odia, how uhso I I know that you get paid uh
in checks.
How long does it take you todeposit your check?
Ody (04:56):
What do you mean, like the bank or for me to do it?
Nathan Mumm (04:59):
Yeah, for you to do it.
Ody (05:00):
Oh, I forgot I forget about it all the time.
I go like a month withoutdepositing it.
Nathan Mumm (05:06):
That's exactly what I'm saying.
And you know what you'd thinkthat that would be uniquely
different, but every every Isend out stuff for our I do a
big event once a year.
I send I now have peoplecashing two and three thousand
dollar checks.
Okay, and this is literally nownow.
This is four months after theevent itself.
So then I kind of look back andsay, Did they really need to
get paid money if they didn'tever go through and do the
(05:28):
check?
But never mind.
Okay.
All right, all right.
Story story number two.
This this is exciting here,Mike.
This is our tease for the show.
Uh is it really?
It was.
What do we got going on here?
Mike Gorday (05:38):
Well, you know, I thought we had been done and
over with the whole Zoom thing,you know, after the pandemic,
but clearly we haven't because aDetroit police officer was
caught without his pants on acourt hearing video.
Nathan Mumm (05:54):
What's more caught all excited?
He decided just to crash theway.
Mike Gorday (05:58):
Yeah, yeah.
He's excited about the pants.
Okay.
All right.
Officer Matthew Jackson of theDetroit Police Department
appeared at virtual courtproceeding, missing a crucial
part of his uniform.
He was caught during the courtappearance with his pants down,
literally.
It actually looks like he wason the toilet.
It does.
The verified video sharedonline.
Detroit police officer MatthewJackson is seen during a Monday
(06:19):
court appearance via videoconference without his pants on.
Officer Jackson was dressed inhis police uniform top, but was
apparently wearing onlyundershorts, which prompted the
judge to ask him a pointedquestion.
You got some pants on, officer?
Nathan Mumm (06:35):
How do you have to ask that, right?
Mike Gorday (06:36):
I don't know.
He no, sir, he said.
He tilted his camera up so thatyou could only see the waist
up.
The waist up.
Okay, which is this is thezoom.
Nathan Mumm (06:47):
If they're gonna do the party on the bottom and the
professionalism on the top,wouldn't you know by now how to
point a camera?
Are you I mean come on now,too?
Mike Gorday (06:56):
Did you just relate Zoom to well?
Nathan Mumm (06:59):
There's a lot of people that do mullets?
There's a lot of people thatthat do Zoom calls that'll have
like shorts on or something likethat.
Doesn't everybody know no, butif but if you're not gonna have
either.
Mike Gorday (07:10):
You do it opposite, you you don't wear the shirt
and then you can't get away withthat.
Nathan Mumm (07:16):
Yeah, yeah.
Right now I I'm fully dressedup, so I I'm not like in shorts
that are here.
Ody (07:22):
Yeah, this is a this is But there was an episode a couple
weeks ago where you were wearingcargo shorts on top of your
shirt.
Yes, we all we all saw.
Nathan Mumm (07:30):
We all know that he does this sometimes, but I'm
gonna make sure I'm not oncamera there during the whole
time if I'm doing this.
Ody (07:36):
But you didn't do that that day.
Nathan Mumm (07:37):
I did do it that day.
Ody (07:38):
But I'm not like at least stood up.
Mike Gorday (07:41):
All right.
Well, anyway, the court wantsyou to wear your dress code.
Did the person get hoped?
Did the person not not wearingit?
No, he just tilted his camera.
Ody (07:50):
Okay, okay.
So it was just like a awarning.
Yeah, an advisory.
Mike Gorday (07:57):
I I think I think this one's gone off the rails.
But it happens.
You know, this is this is humanthis is human behavior.
Nathan Mumm (08:04):
So what did the guy say about it?
Just think he's gotta be themost teased guy at the poor.
Mike Gorday (08:09):
You know, you know he is getting you know he is
getting he is getting all kindsof hazing for this.
Right?
So Detroit Police Chief ToddBettison issued a statement in
response to this that said thatDetroit Police Department
requires this officers representrepresent themselves in a
dignified and professionalmanner while attending court
proceedings, even if you are athome on Zoom.
(08:29):
Involved officers' actions arenot representative of the
professionalism of thisdepartment, will be
appropriately addressed tomaintain the public confidence
and efficient operation of thisdepartment.
Our apologies are herebyextended to the judges and staff
of the court as well as anyoneelse who may have been in
attendance during this incident.
Moral of the story is wearpants or make sure your camera
(08:50):
is tilted in the rightdirection.
That's exactly right, right?
Yeah.
Don't you just this is justnormal, this is just normal
stuff.
Nathan Mumm (08:57):
Okay.
Really, that's normal?
A police officer goes onto aZoom meeting wearing only his
underwear.
Okay.
Ody (09:04):
We're talk we're talking about you had a top on.
Mike Gorday (09:06):
We're talking about we're talking about social
behavior here.
Yeah.
And with the advent of allthese video conferencing that
that's you know, predominantlybecause of the pandemic, yeah,
we have made behavior changesthat reflect that.
And what happens with people isthat we we when we learn
(09:28):
things, when we get we have somelearned behavior, we start we
don't have to think about it.
So we start doing thingsunconsciously.
And one of those things is youknow, not checking the camera
angle.
Oh man.
Nathan Mumm (09:39):
I saw I I saw when I do camera angle stuff, I make
sure even if I have chunk in theback ground type of deal, that
if they're gonna zoom in type ofdeal, that none of that would
be offensive to anybody.
Because you can do it with theHD camera now, you can zoom in
pretty good and see what's goingon.
Mike Gorday (09:54):
We just don't, we just don't we have so much stuff
going on that that some of someof these things they just
bypass our conscious that guygot caught with his pants down.
Dun dun dun.
And and he's gonna he's gonnabe the butt of a lot of jokes
for right now.
Comedy nights opening up, huh?
Yep.
All right, there you go.
Perfect.
All right, well let's talkabout let's talk about this this
(10:16):
next one, which hey do you likemaking passive income?
Nathan Mumm (10:19):
Yeah.
Odie, do you like makingpassive income?
Who doesn't like passiveincome?
Oh, this I mean this is thething to make passive income.
All right, and everybody likesa good night's sleep, right?
IKEA has a smartphone bed thatjust might make you sleep.
It allows you to also makepassive income.
Every night when you tuck inyour kids, our pets and
ourselves, blankets fluffed,lullabies dance in our heads.
(10:42):
We forget about the number onefriend on our list, the glowing
rectangle that we cradle like adigital teddy bear while doom
scrolling ourselves intoinsomnia.
Enter IKEA, the Swedish Jengaexpert, has a solution.
A tiny bed for your smartphone.
Yes, it has a comforter.
No, it's not a joke.
And yes, your phone might nowhave better sleep setup than you
(11:02):
do.
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
The internet reacted withpredictable chaos.
Half the world screamed, Ah,well, the other half Googled, is
this satire or is this evenreal?
But the science checks out.
Behavioral psychology saysrituals help us disconnect.
Is that correct, Mike?
Mike Gorday (11:18):
Rituals do help us disconnect.
Okay, there you go.
If you ritually put your phonedown, you will ritually
disconnect.
How about tucking your phoneinto a miniature bed?
Like a sleepy totter.
Yeah, okay.
Nathan Mumm (11:28):
All right, you know, okay, whatever floats your
boat in.
All right, so guess what?
IKEA actually has a little bedfor you to plug your phone in.
Now, if your phone napsundisturbed for seven hours a
night, IKEA will reward you witha voucher.
That's right.
They will give you money.
That's right.
They will give us to getdiscounts on meepalls and
(11:51):
getting that Swiss Army lampthat nothing better for 19 bucks
or whatever.
You can build yourself creditby having your phone go to sleep
in its own bed.
Now, you'd think that thiswould be the internet crave of
the United States.
No, it's only available in theUnited Arab of Emirates store.
So it's not here in the UnitedStates.
Well, okay.
(12:11):
Yeah, we can wow.
But it may be coming.
Now, here's what you have todo.
You have to spend $200 on thislittle bed.
Literally, it probably is $200.
And that's more than a bed thatyou can get off of Amazon.
Well, hang on, hang on.
$200 for this bed, and it mustinclude one item from the
complete sleep collection fromIKEA.
Oh.
So $200 plus a complete sleepcollection.
(12:34):
Now, if IKEA rolls this outglobally, just think you could
have the dream of having passiveincome and you could pay $200
to let your phone sleep when youcan actually go to IKEA itself
and buy the $60 Needon bed framefor $60 and have back problems.
So there you go.
As a human, you can buy a bedfor $60, but as a phone, your
(12:55):
bed can only be purchased for$200.
I don't know about, you know,so the passive income probably
is accounted into how longyou're gonna pay the $200 for
your little bed, how long you'regonna keep it.
Maybe, maybe.
Mike Gorday (13:08):
But if I'm gonna pay $200 for a tiny bed for my
phone to sleep in and they'regonna give me a discount on
meatballs, I'm not really behindthat.
You're not behind that?
No.
Nathan Mumm (13:17):
All right.
Well, guess what?
That ends our top technologystories of the week.
She's got the picture of itright there.
Look at that.
That that's just ridiculous.
Odie, would you buy it?
She would.
Ody (13:26):
If it wasn't $200, I'd say maybe like it was just cocky or
something.
It is so cute, though.
I know.
And it has a little comforter.
Nathan Mumm (13:35):
I look forget I'm looking at there's little
there's there's sheets on it.
Ody (13:39):
Yeah.
And a pillow.
I know.
Well, I mean, like your phone.
Now, if it charged your phone,it does appear.
Nathan Mumm (13:45):
It does charge your phone too.
Mike Gorday (13:46):
So it's a $200 charger that looks like a bed
for your phone.
Ody (13:49):
I think that's adorable.
But $200 is not a cute rightnow.
Mike Gorday (13:53):
So you know it's gonna be next.
We're gonna have like a littledollhouse that goes with it.
Ody (13:57):
I'm not against it.
Mike Gorday (13:58):
You're gonna well, yeah.
I get that you're not againstthat.
Just think next year, butinstead of using dolls for
dollhouse, it's gonna be yourphone house.
Ody (14:06):
I'm like, oh look, my little bit for my phone.
Oh, you put your little leashon it.
Nathan Mumm (14:14):
Oh, let's just passive income.
You know what?
We come up with business ideaseach each and every show on the
colour.
There we go.
That's all right.
Okay, well, that answer give ussome meatballs.
They're meatballs.
Have you tried their veganmeatballs?
I don't drive meatballs.
Oh my word.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, that ends our toptechnology stories of the week.
Vegan meatballs should not beever created in this world.
(14:35):
Uh moving on, we have Gwen thatwill be joining us in our
gadgets and gear segment upnext.
We're gonna take an 88 mile perhour break.
See you next segment.

Nathan Mumm (15:33):
All right, Mike is figuring out how to save his
pennies for that $200 phone bed.
I just want to know how long ittakes to build it.
That's about the IKEAinstructions.
Yeah, you get you get seven-pageinstructions with no words on
it, and a guy that has like thethumbs up, thumbs down, and the
little Can I just say that Gwenand I are in agreement?
Ody (15:53):
We would pay like $25 for it.
Nathan Mumm (15:55):
You pay $25?
Ody (15:56):
I'd pay $25.
Nathan Mumm (15:56):
But you wouldn't pay $200.
Ody (15:57):
No.
Nathan Mumm (15:58):
But it's a charger, so the charger is like $60.
And it gives you meatballs.
Ody (16:02):
Yeah.
I'm not against that.
Nathan Mumm (16:04):
Okay.
All right.
Well, welcome back to Tech Timewith Lathe the Mom.
Our weekly show covers the toptechnology subjects without any
political agenda.
We verify the facts, we do asense of humor in less than 60
minutes, and of course, with alittle whiskey on the side.
Today, Mark Gregoire, a whiskeyconnoisseur, is in studio, and
he has a single whiskey.
We're not doing ourcompetition, but this is really,
really good already.
(16:26):
So what do we have that we'retasting today?
Marc Grégoire (16:28):
Yeah, Mark, what are we drinking to take the
pain away?
Today is Remus Repeal ReservesSeries 5.
Oh.
From Remus' website introducingRemus Repeal Reserves Series 5,
comprised of a melody of fivebourbons aged since 2005 to
2008.
Series 5 is carefully craftedto honor the repeal of
Prohibition on December 5th,1933.
(16:51):
The 2021 limited edition leadswith dried fruit, rich caramel,
maple syrup, roasted nuts, andleather.
The beginning includes richtoffee and vanilla, followed by
chocolate, glazed nuts, and oak.
The finish offers candiedfruit, caramel baking spices,
baking spice, and a lingeringoaky rice spice.
Now when this was released atthe time in 2021, it was by the
(17:15):
Luxco Company, which then wasbought by MGP, which then
changed their name to Ross andSquib.
The distillation at the timewas G Remus Distillery, which is
of course a Ross and Squibbdistillery now in Lawrenceburg,
Indiana.
Straight bourbon, it's non-agestated because the mash bills
are a mix of five differentbourbons.
(17:36):
Okay.
If you try and pick it up onthe secondary market now, it's
about 175 plus.
Alright, so did you pick thisup on the secondary market?
I did not.
Nathan Mumm (17:51):
Okay.
Marc Grégoire (17:52):
I did I I got it recently, and you will find out
in the mumbles how I obtainedit.
Oh.
Nathan Mumm (17:57):
Did Mr.
Remus himself give it to you?
Yeah, that's another blackmarket thing that he does.
Did you see that he did hetalked he kind of plugged in
another YouTube uh uh whiskeyplace?
Maybe that is the plug for theplace that he got it from.
Marc Grégoire (18:10):
What I'm thinking for.
Nathan's on fire today.
That's right.
Nathan Mumm (18:13):
See, I'm paying attention here.
Marc Grégoire (18:15):
Now, as you're enjoying this whiskey, so
Nathan's finished his already.
That's great.
Wow, some of those toughstories must have been tough for
you guys.
Please don't forget to like andsubscribe.
Nathan, please drinkresponsibly.
Heaven can win.
Nathan Mumm (18:28):
All right.
You know what we want to thankall the veterans today.
It is Veterans Day.
So I just want to thank all theveterans that all that you have
done for our country and keepus safe.
Marc Grégoire (18:36):
Oh, we jump into the uh what we're celebrating
on November 11th.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no.
Okay, no.
So I have to come back.
You still gotta come back.
I just want to get ahead ofourselves.
Nathan Mumm (18:45):
I just want to thank Veterans Day.
Mike Gorday (18:46):
Nathan is.
Nathan Mumm (18:47):
Well, no, I just say today is Veterans Day.
Mike Gorday (18:49):
Nathan, yeah, but the difference is Nathan doesn't
know he's getting ahead ofhimself.
I don't know what you have.
I'm sorry that I got ahead.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Well you know, part of the bestthing about this show is making
making Odie bust up.
Nathan Mumm (19:02):
With our whiskey tasting completed, let's move on
to our feature segment today.
We have Gwenway joining theshow.
She is an expert incybersecurity during the day and
a game board geek in theevening, as well as a producer
of Tech Time Radio and ourgadgets and gear gal.
Let's get ready to start ourComcast video stream for our
next segment.
Introduction (19:20):
What's new in our gadgets and gear?
Nathan Mumm (19:22):
All right, Gwen, welcome back to the show.
Tell us a little bit aboutyourself for any new listeners.
Gwen Way (19:28):
Certainly, certainly.
Hello, everybody.
Uh, I am Gwen and I've been intechnology for a little over a
quarter of a century.
Uh, as Nathan said, I uh focuson cybersecurity during my day
job.
Uh, but I also like to have funwith different gadgets.
So let's talk.
Nathan Mumm (19:48):
All right.
So normally uh now let me justtell you, Gwen.
So I don't I on Kickstarter,there's a thing that I have.
I have one of the originalVetrexes, and so there's a mini
Vetrix on sale right now.
If anybody wants to go outthere, I bought 10 of them.
So Christmas gift spoiler foreverybody that they're getting
10 of these mini vetrix gameunits and like the mini mini
computer.
So there you go.
(20:09):
My wife, I'm gonna I'm gonnakind of wrap these up like the
pots and pans I did for forChristmas now.
Um, but besides we want to talkabout something that we can get
in time for the holidays,right?
So we don't or we're not gonnado Kickstarter.
Now I tell you, I have threeKickstarter funding that said
that they would be here beforethe holidays.
All three of them have beendelayed, Quinn.
(20:29):
So I I I didn't get them forChristmas, and I'm gonna just
put IOUs in in those stockingsfor people and say, here you go.
No, I might added differentstuff.
So Kickstarter takes a while.
This item is available on themarket right now.
Gwen Way (20:44):
Exactly, which is why we went with it this month.
Uh, we'll probably do onethat's actually already on the
market next month as well,because I want to make sure the
listeners can get the best uhChristmas presents possible for
their family.
Nathan Mumm (20:56):
Perfect.
Tell us, what are we looking attoday?
Gwen Way (20:58):
Well, this is something that I personally use
and love and highly recommend.
So we can already get off on agood footing with that.
Uh if our listeners have spentany time on YouTube, they've
probably seen ads for Raycon.
And yeah, this this could be aRaycon ad if Raycon wants to
reach out to Tech Time Radio andsay, hey guys, work with us.
(21:22):
Okay.
Uh in the meantime, though, I'mgoing to send everybody to
rayconglobal.com and recommendthat they look specifically at
the essential open air buds.
Nathan Mumm (21:34):
Essential open air buds.
Okay.
All right.
And how uh Raycon isR-A-Y-C-O-N.
Gwen Way (21:40):
That is correct.
Nathan Mumm (21:41):
Perfect.
Okay.
Gwen Way (21:43):
All right.
So these earbuds are reallycool for a couple of different
reasons.
Number one, they are open ear,uh, which means that while
you're listening to, I don'tknow, your favorite podcast,
like I don't know, causeexactly.
Uh you can also hear thingsaround you.
Uh they're really good foroffice environments.
(22:04):
They're really good for goingfor walks or runs.
They are great for publictransportation.
The one place I would recommendnot using them is on an
airplane because they won't helpdeal with all of the crying
children and uh buzz and veryupset TSA agents.
Nathan Mumm (22:22):
All right.
So they're not noise canceling,is that correct?
Gwen Way (22:25):
Nope.
That is correct.
Nathan Mumm (22:26):
So I'm about to tell you the noise canceling
part, I that kind of freaks meout now.
I put those in the iPod threesand the errors in there, and I
listen, all of a sudden I can'thear anything around me.
And it's like quiet, and then Ijust like think of my inner
thoughts.
Mike Gorday (22:38):
That's because you have to listen to your inner
monologue.
My inner thoughts are prettyscary.
Or your inner monologue becauseof all the voices in there.
Gwen Way (22:46):
And they're all talking to each other.
Yeah, yeah.
Nathan Mumm (22:52):
Nice word use.
There you go.
All right.
Now let's take a look and seewhat makes these earbuds better
than other earbuds, though.
Gwen Way (22:59):
Honestly, there's there's a great number of
things.
They've got an extremely longbattery life.
Uh I've I've got some of theover the ear headphones also
that have the noise canceling.
And in my last work trip toSpain, they lasted all the way
over and all the way back on theplane.
On a single charge?
On a single charge.
Nathan Mumm (23:21):
Wow, wow, no way.
Gwen Way (23:23):
So these are incredible.
They also come with a carryingcase that charges them uh if you
need to bump them up, kind oflike the AirPods have similar
things.
And they come in really coolcolors.
Nathan Mumm (23:37):
Okay, what are the colors they come in?
Gwen Way (23:39):
Uh well, you can get a mint, you can get a carbon
black, you can get a blue, andyou can get a lavender.
Mike Gorday (23:46):
A lavender.
Gwen Way (23:48):
One for everybody in your family.
Mike Gorday (23:50):
Everybody in my family.
Nathan Mumm (23:53):
Gwent said it would be a telemetry.
Gwen Way (23:56):
It is basically.
But wait, there's more.
Mike Gorday (24:01):
All right, so we're gonna- Can I really put them in
my ears and hear things?
You can.
Gwen Way (24:06):
Why yes you can.
Yes, you can.
Nathan Mumm (24:09):
But wait, there's more.
But wait.
All right, so okay, where's theplace we can find these again?
Gwen Way (24:14):
Give us the the URL because it's it's
rayconglobal.com.
Raycon is R-A-Y-C-O-N.
Uh, you can go in, you can seeall of their things there.
Again, I highly recommend theessential open air earbuds.
Okay.
Exactly.
Uh right now, also, and I'm I'mstealing your thunder a little
(24:36):
bit, but I think it's important.
They're doing an early BlackFriday deal, and you can get
these for 30% off.
Nathan Mumm (24:42):
30% off.
Dun dun dun.
Gwen Way (24:45):
Yeah, so they're regularly $80, which is still
well worth the money, but rightnow you can get them for $56.
Nathan Mumm (24:51):
Wow, you see that?
$80 for $56.
That's stuff that you get only.
You're gonna go get some, Iknow.
Mike Gorday (24:58):
I think I will get some.
Nathan Mumm (24:59):
So I got four colors.
Mike Gorday (25:01):
You should plug your whole telemercial thing
too.
Nathan Mumm (25:04):
Okay, all right.
So Black Friday, do you thinkthey're gonna be a bit a better
sale for Black Friday, or do youthink this will be the the
best?
Gwen Way (25:10):
I think this is probably the best.
I think this sale is likely togo on through Black Friday.
Mike Gorday (25:16):
Okay.
Gwen Way (25:16):
Um they have occasionally done Cyber Monday
specials, but they tend to beabout the uh 30 to 40% off
anyway in prior years.
Mike Gorday (25:26):
Right.
Okay.
So are they ever on the AmazonPrime specials that Nathan loves
so much?
Gwen Way (25:31):
Uh I have never seen them on there.
Nathan Mumm (25:33):
I I looked on I looked on Amazon, I did not see
them, so I think you have toactually go to the website to
buy these.
Okay.
Final review and costs, and doyou have a unit?
Those are the questions.
Gwen Way (25:44):
Final review, these are stellar.
They've got six, they've got a4.7 star review right now with
606 people reviewing them.
So that should give you a goodidea.
Uh I own some and absolutelyadore them.
I also have the over the earsand the everyday earbuds.
Like I am a Raycon stan forsure.
(26:07):
And right now, with 30% off,you can get a pair of these open

(27:00):
You could there, there you go.
Shh.
Just like my wife's getting onefor Christmas too.
Does he listen to the show?
Gwen Way (27:07):
Uh he he does when I'm on, but uh we'll we'll pretend
that he didn't hear anything.
Nathan Mumm (27:11):
Uh-oh, look at that.
He does when she's on.
Otherwise, like she's like, no,he doesn't listen to it when
Nathan's on.
But when I'm on, of course,it's a lot of fun.
Mike Gorday (27:18):
I mean, okay.
There you go.
Nathan Mumm (27:19):
All right, I understand.
All right.
Thank you so much, Gwen.
We'll see you next month.
Thank you.
All right, that ends oursegment.
We want to thank Gwen for beinga part of the show.
She does a great job findingthe most unique items each month
for our show.
And with that, let's now moveon to Mike's mesmerizing moment.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Welcome to Mike's mesmerizing moment.
What does Mike have to saytoday?
Nathan Mumm (27:43):
All right, I'm going back to the question that
we had on the the since you'retalking about Zoom meetings and
different stuff, are we morereliant on tech during in-person
meetings?
I go into some of thesein-person meetings and I see
people now on their phones andnever paying attention.
So it's literally just a bunchof bobbled heads scrolling,
scrolling, scrolling, one persontalking, and then everybody's
(28:04):
like, uh, what'd you say?
What'd you say?
Well, what's going on withthis, Mike?
Mike Gorday (28:08):
Why are you asking me?
You already have the evidence.
Nathan Mumm (28:10):
Well, I but why are we why is this happening?
Mike Gorday (28:13):
Why well, I think a a good answer would be we have
an a tech addiction and we havetrouble getting off of our
phones.
This is not a new phenomenon.
When we did all these in-personmeetings prior to all this
video technology, what werepeople doing?
They were doodling or pickingtheir nails or staring off in
(28:33):
the space.
Okay.
Yeah.
So this is not necessarily anew behavior, it's just a new
focal point.
Nathan Mumm (28:39):
That we've now become accepted uh that you can
pick up your phone and look atit during a meeting.
Mike Gorday (28:44):
Well, yeah, and there's also there's also some
things called boundary issuesthat we're talking about.
If you allow people to havetheir phones and and don't call
them out for it, they're gonnajust sit there and do this.
But you know, part of it is thenormal behavior coupled with
the addiction of technology thatmakes this happen.
So I don't know, I don't Idon't I don't think it makes it
(29:05):
smoother.
Nathan Mumm (29:05):
I don't think it makes it smoother.
Mike Gorday (29:07):
But you know, in video conferencing, I guess you
can you can also add the factthat uh when you when you're on
a Zoom meeting, are you payingattention to everything or are
you reading emails and doingthings like that?
Nathan Mumm (29:20):
So I must be old school because most of the time
I'm actually trying to engage inthe meeting.
Okay.
Well That's your fault.
Okay, I I I clearly that mustbe the the point because I will
I do some online meetings and Iand I know that when I ask in
questions.
Mike Gorday (29:34):
Are these meetings that you're running or meetings
that you're just sitting in?
Sometimes they're running.
Because, you know, when we'resitting in meetings, because you
know, I work for thegovernment, so we have meetings
about meetings that we're gonnahave a meeting about.
Okay.
Right?
So we're just sitting there andnothing is really relevant to
me personally.
So, you know, I'm gonna bereading emails or I'm gonna be
(29:54):
doing some other productivething because I don't need to be
sitting in this meeting exceptfor I have to be sitting in the
Meeting.
Nathan Mumm (30:00):
So isn't that when you should just send an email to
somebody?
If it can't be if it has to bemore than a 10 minute
engagement, you should do ameeting.
If you can get it done in anemail and it doesn't take any
it's a yes or no decision, itshould just be an email, right?
Mike Gorday (30:12):
Yeah, there's a lot of shooting right there.
Okay.
All right.
Nathan Mumm (30:15):
A lot of shooting.
Mike Gorday (30:16):
Yeah, you just should all over the place.
Nathan Mumm (30:19):
All right.
That was should.
Uh Odie's like, I gotta go backand edit that out.
No, you don't.
It's not it's a word.
Yeah.
Mike Gorday (30:25):
That's a whole bunch of shit.
It's a bunch of yeah, don'tshoot on the don't shoot on the
the the thing, Odie.
All right, okay.
Nathan Mumm (30:33):
Thank you, Mike, for that mesmerizing moment.
Mike Gorday (30:35):
Yeah, that's that was really mesmerizing.
Nathan Mumm (30:37):
Well, kind of was I was mesmerized.
You're mesmerized?
Mike Gorday (30:39):
All right, well up next we have your dazzling
personality.
Nathan Mumm (30:43):
Thank you, Mike, for that mesmerizing moment.
Up next we have This Week inTechnology.
Now would be a good time toenjoy a little whiskey on the
side as we're gonna be doing soduring the break.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
That's it.
That's that simple.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
And now, let's look back at this week in technology.
Nathan Mumm (32:06):
All right, Mike.
We're going all the way back toNovember 12th, 2000.
That was a long time ago.
That was a long time ago.
All right.
Microsoft declares tablets arethe future.
Now, Bill Gates does ademonstration of a functional
prototype of a tablet PC.
Microsoft claims that thetablet PC will represent the
next major evolution in PCdesign and functionality.
(32:26):
However, the tablet PCinitiative never really takes
off, and it isn't until Appleintroduced the iPad in 2010 that
tablet computing is widelyadopted.
Now, Microsoft's failure withthe tablet PC initiative was
twofold.
First, they simply tried toadapt Windows, an operating
system designed to use akeyboard and mouse to all of a
sudden be touch screen and peninterface.
(32:47):
Users never really warmed up tothe awkward hybrid interface,
and none of the items workedcorrectly when you had your PIN.
So your PIN was like thebiggest drawback for the whole
thing.
You'd have to collaborate itevery time you used it.
And then if it was off a bit asyou were writing, it would not
do the correct A, B, C's, any ofthe letters it would do that
have spaces in there.
Did not work.
Mike Gorday (33:08):
Now I mean really it was in 2000, so it was way
before its time.
So it was before its time.
That's correct.
Nathan Mumm (33:14):
And you know, finally then they decided the
design for the hardware would befor their OEM partners.
So anybody could come up withthe idea of what the tablet PC
looked like.
So you had Dell fighting overthis, you had a bunch of
different laptop providers,ASUS, you had Lenovo at the time
that was coming up withdifferent ideas, and none of
them really took off.
(33:35):
It's interesting becauseMicrosoft has been very
successful and has learned fromthis failure because they
created the Surface tablets.
You have a surface right infront of you right now.
Yeah, it's one of the mostawesome things that I own.
Now, do you know why?
This because Microsoft decidedto steal Apple's interface and
information and then mimic themodels that Apple proved
(33:56):
successful to create a tablet.
And then that's really funnybecause we just talked about
this a couple episodes ago.
Now Apple is copying thesurface because their new PCs
that are coming on out next yearand the year after are going to
have touch screens.
So Microsoft copied good oldApple.
Now Apple's copying that.
This isn't this isn't newbehavior.
(34:18):
It's not new behavior.
Okay.
Well, we're going to take acommercial break.
When we return, we have MarkMumble Whiskey Review.
See you after this break.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
The segment we've been waiting all week for.
Nathan Mumm (34:59):
Did you notice Mike's out of his whiskey also
now?
Marc Grégoire (35:02):
I did.
I see two empty glasses.
Luckily, I saved a little bitfor me.
Uh-oh.
Nathan Mumm (35:08):
That's pretty good stuff.
Marc Grégoire (35:10):
All right, celebrating November 11th.
First, as Nathan mentionedearlier, a heartfelt shout-out
to all veterans in both Canadaand the United States, because
both countries are celebratingtoday.
Thank you all for your serviceand sacrifice as we celebrate
Veterans Day.
Nathan Mumm (35:24):
Now, speaking of Canada.
Marc Grégoire (35:25):
Cheers.
Nathan Mumm (35:26):
Speaking of Canada, are you uh I I heard a little
rumor, a little birdie, sayingthat you now have your uh
citizenship up in Canada.
Marc Grégoire (35:34):
That's correct.
I'm a dual citizen.
Okay, there you go.
Well, congratulations.
Now, also today we'recelebrating another thing.
Oh, what's that?
Dun dun dun.
Uh is it origami?
Origami Day.
Bingo! Thank you for helpingout, OD.
Today, National Origami Day.
Oh, look at Odi.
There you go.
Put on screen there.
A time to slow down, find yourZen, and appreciate the beauty
(35:55):
of precision and patience.
Originally called Oryekata,origami dates back to Japan as
early as 105 AD.
Now that's a long time ago.
Not 25 years.
105 AD.
Alright, that is.
Before the IndustrialRevolution, paper was a luxury
reserved for the elite.
But today, anyone with a sheetof paper and a little focus can
master the fold.
(36:16):
Even Odie joins in, showing offher best origami dog.
That's right.
That was pretty good.
Nathan Mumm (36:24):
Have you ever done the origami with the frog that
hops?
Mike Gorday (36:26):
Uh yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, see.
I I I I I actually do a lot oforigami.
You do?
Yeah.
Well, maybe not a lot, but I doorigami.
Marc Grégoire (36:35):
Origami?
I thought it helps with Zen.
Doesn't seem to help youhelping Mike.
Hey, I didn't say I do a lot ofit.
Mike Gorday (36:42):
I do Tai Chi too.
Nathan Mumm (36:44):
Oh, what's it?
Mike Gorday (36:45):
What's Tai Chi?
Never mind.
Okay.
Nathan Mumm (36:47):
Isn't that the thing you're outside?
I didn't I go to a Tai Chievent with you?
Uh yeah, you did.
Yeah, you uh Mike led it.
Ody (36:53):
I cannot imagine Nathan doing Tai Chi.
Nathan can't do it.
Nathan Mumm (36:57):
Well now, hang on now.
I I thought I was doing it.
Marc Grégoire (37:00):
Did you bring a long chair just to watch?
Nathan Mumm (37:02):
No, I had a mat and I was doing everything.
Did you just we don't need amat.
Then all of a sudden I did thecrane kick in Karate Kid.
Ody (37:13):
That tells me all I need to know about.
Marc Grégoire (37:15):
That's exactly right.
Continue on.
So origami day celebrates theart of precision layering, just
like Remus Repeal Reserve 5,where five distinct bourbon
vintages are folded togetherwith the same meticulous care it
takes to turn paper intopoetry.
You see how he does that?
I did.
Nathan Mumm (37:36):
Maybe you should take lessons.
He should just read books topeople at night and become a
narrator.
It's so soothing.
Marc Grégoire (37:41):
So each blend of this whiskey combines high high
rye bourbons aged six tofourteen years from the historic
Ross and Squibb distillery.
Some with mash bills nearly 40%rye.
Now it's still a bourbon, butthey're very high rye mash
bills.
The real artistry lies in theblending where flavors of spice,
(38:02):
oak, and caramel don't justbalance, they transform.
In bourbon chemistry, newflavor compounds are born as
those distinct profiles merge,creating a whiskey experience
that literally cannot existwithout the blend.
Nathan Mumm (38:16):
So so when they do this, do they let the the blends
sit for a year or so so thatthey mix together, or is it
something that they do prettyquickly and then bottle it?
Marc Grégoire (38:29):
It depends on the district.
So I don't know this particularone.
Some of them will mix a fewtogether, let it sit for up to a
month, and then taste it again,see how it's what it's doing,
and then see what other barrelsto add or what other people they
did not choose these fivewhiskies up front to blend
together, at least that's myhypothesis.
They just started blending andkind of see which ones would fit
(38:49):
together.
Okay.
All right.
Now, I could not have asked fora better raffle win.
This port turned out to be anabsolute gem.
Rich, bold, and full ofpersonality from start to
finish.
I snagged it at a get togetherhosted by the YouTube channel
Curiosity Public.
And let me tell you, whenwhiskey meets good company and
great conversation, that's mykind of victory.
Nathan Mumm (39:11):
All right.
Now you really are.
Marc Grégoire (39:12):
That's the only reason I show up here every
week.
Mike Gorday (39:14):
For good conversation?
I don't think so.
Marc Grégoire (39:16):
Okay, all right.
Well, at least for the whiskey.
That's okay.
Nathan Mumm (39:18):
So so but so uh the little plug to that, the
YouTube group is every once ayear they have an event and you
go to and you and you kind ofhang out and have a good time.
Marc Grégoire (39:28):
I do, and and then on the air, you guys rip on
me for not being here.
But you know what?
I'm bringing bottles back toyou.
That's all right.
That's a good that's a good youknow what?
We appreciate that.
Mike Gorday (39:37):
He's paying us with whiskey.
Marc Grégoire (39:39):
And you got from that trip, you got this one,
and then you got the Baker's 13,which we had uh.
This is actually really, reallygood.
Nathan Mumm (39:46):
This one's excellent.
Is this on your top shelf ormiddle shelf?
This is on my top shelf.
Oh, it was on his top shelf,like before we go out.
And I have a backup bottle.
Oh, he's got a backup bottle.
Oh, you know what?
I'm getting for Christmas then.
All right, no, just joking.
All right, let's let's move on.
Whiskey and technology are sucha great pairing.
Like wine and Jesus.
(40:07):
The holiday season is upon us.
Okay, okay.
That's good, right?
Mike Gorday (40:11):
No, I'm just I'm laughing because of the suspense
content there.
Marc Grégoire (40:15):
Oh, yeah, there was wondering what's gonna drop
next because I was ready to ripon him, but you know what?
That's a that's a beautifulpairing.
That is pretty good pairing.
Actually, my wife and mydaughter and I this past weekend
just went to a wine and cheesetasting out in Woodenville.
There you go.
Fantastic.
It was fantastic.
It was great cheese, greatwine.
Nathan Mumm (40:33):
Excellent pairing.
Just like technology andwhiskey.
I love you again.
There you are.
All right, now let's preparefor our technology fail of the
week.
Let's get out of this week.
That's my Elita ExecutiveServices.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Congratulations.
You're a failure.
Oh, I failed.
Did I?
Yes.
Did I?
Yes.
Nathan Mumm (40:52):
All right.
So, you know, that this isgonna be Mike's gonna love this.
It's about chat GPT.
So let's let's talk about this.
All right, the University ofIllinois.
What was that in Illinois?
The University of Illinois.
Illinois.
Marc Grégoire (41:04):
No, no, can we say Illinois?
Illinois?
Nathan Mumm (41:06):
Illinois.
Where are we?
Is it not Illinois?
Most people say Illinois.
Marc Grégoire (41:09):
Now, of course, if you're from the inner city of
Chicago, you're allowed to sayIllinois, but you're not, so
stick with Illinois.
Okay, Illinois.
Nathan Mumm (41:17):
Guess what happens?
When you get an apology thatgets flagged for plagiarism, it
might be the time to log off achat GPT.
At this university, two datascience professors caught dozens
of students cheating with AI.
Dozens of students.
Dozens of students, then caughtthem using AI again to write an
apology email.
The professors known on campusas the data science duo read
(41:39):
these robotic remorses out loudin class, projecting the copy
and paste parade for 1,200students to witness.
That's awesome.
All right, turns out thestudents old school scaming
right there.
I know.
I mean, they probably got in somuch trouble because all those
people's feelings were hurt.
All right.
Since the syllabus did not banAI, no one was punished for
(42:00):
grades, but they did receivepublic criticism.
One student reportedly asked ifAI could write a better excuse
next time.
Another wondered if theirapology could at least come up
with a chatbot generated hug.
Moral of the story if you'regonna cheat with AI, at least
don't let it plagiarize yourapology too.
So so this is becoming a littlebit of an issue.
Mike Gorday (42:21):
So there were no there was no lesson, there was
no lesson learned.
I told you this was an issueway back when we're gonna be.
Marc Grégoire (42:38):
Okay, I understood the story right.
All right.
Nathan Mumm (42:40):
So so this is what's happening.
This people are now are gettinglazy.
And I now No way.
Marc Grégoire (42:46):
Well, let's start off.
Nathan Mumm (42:47):
People have always been lazy.
Okay, go on.
People were coding ishappening.
Now I use vibe code thataffects our tech time radio uh
website and some stuff, and itdid a great job, which vibe
coding means you put in yourprompt into an AI and it comes
out with code.
You got to be careful about itbecause malware can get
introduced to it.
A bunch of things can happenalso, but it seems to be now
people instead of just typingemails anymore, people just put
(43:09):
it in the chat GPT, boom, send,boom, send, and it's becoming
kind of uh is that what you do?
Yeah, absolutely.
So you don't write any of youremails anymore, you just say,
Hey, I'm in a uh upset mood.
Tell my boss that I need thisto be taken care of.
Marc Grégoire (43:23):
You write the summary or you write kind of I
write just the bullet points ofwhat I want in there, and then
because we're we're technicalpeople, we suck in English.
Okay, that is true in grammar,that is true and spelling, and
pronouncation is that Nathan'sexcuse?
Pronunciation so then it writesit for me.
I read it quickly, and I'mlike, oh not right, modify this,
modify this.
I get it what I want, then Icut and paste it, and then I'll
(43:44):
tweak it just a fine time.
Mike Gorday (43:45):
All right, all right.
As an interested observer inthis, because you know I write
my own stuff.
I I don't use chat GPT writestuff.
Okay, you unicorn.
Right?
So um Oh, look at Odie gotreally good.
Does it take you just as longto write a chat GPT email that
it does to for me to write aregular email?
It's absolutely not way, way,way, way faster.
Marc Grégoire (44:07):
I get so much.
It's more creative.
It's more creative.
I am so slow to write andproperly write an email for me.
So let's talk SATs.
My overall SAT was pretty goodbecause my math was super high.
My English was abysmal.
Okay.
And so it takes me a very longtime to do it.
See, I had the opposite.
Mike Gorday (44:23):
I had a I had a really high, really high vocab
and a a not so high math.
It was not bad, but it was Ihad high math too.
I had all Yeah, well.
Marc Grégoire (44:35):
It was pretty late.
We already know about hisEnglish.
That's why we both went intoour personality.
You know, I want a spelling bein like fifth grade.
I just want to know that.
Nathan Mumm (44:44):
My spelling was good for some time in life.
Yeah, okay.
Ody (44:47):
Well, I was gonna say, if you're not using the skills to
write a proper email, you'rejust hindering yourself later
down the line.
That's correct.
Mike Gorday (44:56):
That is exactly the problem.
Okay, Odie, and that's andOdie, I'm too old for that.
Ody (45:01):
How are you any better than these students that can't even
be bothered to write their ownapology?
Marc Grégoire (45:05):
Yeah, I don't I I would have just said I'm mic
drop.
Burn.
Uh uh You know, I actuallydon't have a problem with them
writing the apology with AI.
So, in other words, uh Marxistokay, no matter what.
You know, they took the time toactually do something.
No, they had to bring them up.
They got caught apologies.
Mike Gorday (45:25):
They got caught using chat GPT for their
assignments.
The professor said, Hey, youyou got caught, now you
apologize.
Then they went back and usedthe chat GPT to apologize.
Is there one Ferris jewelerthat's running the whole group?
It's just like say, well, no,that's just all just lazy.
Like you guys, it's exactly thesame thing.
Marc Grégoire (45:43):
ChatGPT is a tool.
It's a tool.
So I don't use it to do my job.
Mike Gorday (45:47):
My main job is your job not have emails in it?
This is exactly the same thingby saying that.
Sorry I got caught.
Marc Grégoire (45:54):
That's just the negative part of your job.
Whoa.
Ody (45:57):
I feel like if I went into an interview and was like,
listen, I'm great at doing theboard, but I suck at the
personal thing.
I want to uh I wouldn't gethired.
Mike Gorday (46:05):
Can I can I do that in future interviews?
Can I say, hey, when they askme to get hired?
When they ask me a question,can I say hang on wait?
Nathan Mumm (46:13):
Wait, wait till I check the GPT the answer.
I'll make sure I get stufftaken care of.
All right.
Marc Grégoire (46:18):
You have to know your job, you have to know what
to do, you have to have thosepersonal connections.
But for the little side things,just like calc, so nobody uses
a calculator here?
Right.
Nathan Mumm (46:27):
Because I got a phone.
Actually, I do.
I use calc all the time.
Marc Grégoire (46:30):
You can't use calc.
No, no, that's terrible.
You must do the math by hand.
No, you know, my teaching saidI need to.
Exactly what you're saying.
Nathan Mumm (46:38):
You need to know math case.
You're never gonna have adevice that's gonna have a
calculator on it.
How are you gonna be able to domath?
Guess what?
I got it in my pocket.
I got three of them now.
I just from two phones to threephones.
That was probably your bestaccent so far.
Oh, you think so?
Okay.
Don't encourage neverencourage.
All right, let's go to ourNathan Nuggets.
I think we really need to.
Mike Gorday (46:57):
I think we need to spend time.
You just had everybody yellingin a mic.
That's all right.
Here we go.
Marc Grégoire (47:02):
We're off the rails today.
Introduction (47:04):
This is your nugget of the week.
Mike Gorday (47:06):
All right, you guys are all gonna love this.
Yeah, I gotta get on Chat GPTand figure out what I'm gonna
answer.
Hold on.
Marc Grégoire (47:12):
Okay, make it think for you.
Just write what you think.
Nathan Mumm (47:16):
Lego is going boldly where no brick has gone
before.
Yeah, this has nothing to dowith tech, but it's awesome.
We're all gonna like this.
A $400 Star Trek Enterprise setis now available.
True.
Move over Millennium Falcon.
There's a new nerd shrine intown, and it goes warp speed.
Starting November 28th, Lego isfinally releasing the neutral
(47:40):
zones Star Trek territory forthe first time ever from the
franchise with a glorious 3600.
Marc Grégoire (47:47):
It's been five years.
You're not gonna fix it.
Star Trek?
He claims to be a geek, buthe's really just a collector
that resells things.
Mike Gorday (47:54):
He's really not a nerd.
Well, I'm not I'm not laughingabout that.
I'm laughing at the fact thathe uses ChatGPT to do a script
and you can't read it properly.
Nathan Mumm (48:01):
I don't do chat GPT.
Mike Gorday (48:03):
Lego is finally crossing the neutral zone into
Star Trek territory.
That's what you should havesaid.
Nathan Mumm (48:08):
Okay, with the first ever from the franchise, a
glorious 3600 piece USEnterprise NC 17D from the next
generation.
1701D, what?
From the next generation.
Mike Gorday (48:19):
1701.
1701, not 17D.
That's a brass up.
1701D.
Wow.
You would think he neverwatched the show.
Nathan Mumm (48:28):
I just went through the whole season of next
generation again.
This Star Trek.
All right.
So let me okay.
All right.
Talk to us Nathan.
Okay, Star Trek nerds.
If you order it, this is thereally important.
You gotta get on and order itwhen it becomes available.
You you actually get bonusshadow pod.
Before December 1st, if youorder it, you get the extra type
(48:50):
15 shuttle pod set.
So this is like a Black Fridaydeal with more Dilithium
crystals.
But let's talk about what youactually get on there.
These are the characters youget.
Captain Picard comes with ateacup, all right?
Because diploma Earl Grey.
Earl Glay.
With Earl Grey, that's correct.
Commander Riker comes with atrombone.
Okay.
Because he played the trombonein the series, right?
(49:12):
Okay.
Wharf comes with a phaser andtons of forehead ridges.
Now, this is the best thing.
This is in their promotionalmaterial.
Wesley Crusher wields aportable tractor beam generator,
presumably to pull himself outof plot holes.
They actually wrote that on theon the ad.
Isn't that hilarious?
(49:33):
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Gaynan uh comes with bartendingwisdom included.
Dr.
Beverly Crusher comes withmedical gear.
Um, and Geordia the Forge comeswith a tricorder and an
engineering case in the P A D D.
And Deanna Troy readies yoursenses to see why the heck you
just spent $400 on plasticpieces.
(49:53):
There you go.
That was actually in their adstuff.
That's a pretty good ad, eh?
You gotta like it.
Are you gonna buy it?
No.
No.
No.
Ody (50:00):
Are you gonna buy it?
Mike Gorday (50:01):
No, you know Nathan's gonna buy it.
Ody (50:03):
No, no, no, because yeah.
That's a big thing going on inthe Lego community right now, is
that they're overcharging likehouse.
Marc Grégoire (50:09):
Yes, yes.
Were you a Lego person growingup?
I mean not buying Legos andputting them on your shelf
unopened.
I mean actually opening andplaying with it.
Nathan Mumm (50:16):
Yes.
My parents were not literallyLegos behind.
They were not very rich, so Ididn't have sets that I could
actually build when I was a kid.
We would go to garage sales andfind all the loose.
So I have a bunch of chewed upLegos that I would get from my
parents.
I was never a Lego person.
So I still have every Lego thatI had when I was a kid.
Mike Gorday (50:37):
I was a poor box Lego.
Nathan Mumm (50:39):
Uh no.
I just have a I have a big totewith all the Legos.
Mike Gorday (50:41):
Yeah, a tote with all these poor little old Legos.
For the grandkids he had toscrounge up when he's a little
bad.
Nathan Mumm (50:46):
For grandkids, nice try.
Alright, there you go.
Marc Grégoire (50:50):
Well, what are you gonna use them for then?
Nathan Mumm (50:52):
To sell.
No, I'll I'll wait until I havegrandkids.
Come on over.
Show fit!
Mike Gorday (50:57):
Back back to the back to the issue at hand.
Yes.
That's a lot of money for aLego set.
Ody (51:02):
Except But they've all been rising in price lately.
Mike Gorday (51:04):
Well, yeah, that the Lego is Lego is crazy with
rings, marbles.
It's really a hard choicebecause if I I can buy this, or
I can buy two beds for my phone.
Nathan Mumm (51:18):
That's exactly right.
I can have a bed on my bed and abed in my in my lifting.
Yeah.
All the Swedish.
Ody (51:29):
Maybe I can charge my phone.
Nathan Mumm (51:31):
What's that?

Because don't you have twophones?
Nathan Mumm (51:34):
I have three.
Mike Gorday (51:35):
I'm gonna no, I'm gonna use my work phone.
I know I can just have oneactively making money.
Marc Grégoire (51:39):
I'm gonna use my work phone burner phone in
there all the time, like Odiesaid, until you need it.
No, no, no, no.
I don't have a burner phone.
Mike Gorday (51:46):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a second, hold on asecond.
I'm gonna use my work phone soI can both get the benefits of
the meatballs and I can chargemy workplace rent for the phone
in the bed.
Nathan Mumm (52:02):
He likes the couch quite a bit.
He's talked about this morethan any other uh gadget we've
had on for quite a long time,besides the robots that he
loves.
Ody (52:09):
Gwen did ask.
Yeah, not if you bought it, buthow many have you bought?
Mike Gorday (52:15):
So how many did you buy there, Meatball Boy?
Ody (52:18):
No, no, not the phone.
I may have bought the Lego forthe Mum family.
What, the phone thing or theLego thing?
The Lego.

You only bought one?
Nathan Mumm (52:25):
Yeah.
But this is my new thing I'mgonna start doing for Christmas.

Remus Repeal Reserve Series 5.
This came out in 2021, thelimited release.
If you can get your hands onit, it's delicious.
Hundred-proof, mix of fivebourbons.
It's fantastic.
Nathan Mumm (53:17):
It's a whole thumbs up.
Like two thumbs up times twofrom this is one of the best of
the series.
It is.
Marc Grégoire (53:25):
This may be best idea.
You do need to open up and letit air out.
So I didn't bring it in rightaway because when you first
open, it's a little tight.
Needs to breathe to reallybring out all those flavors.
What do you think, Mike?
Mike Gorday (53:36):
I think it's excellent.
So I gave it a thumbs up too.
But not two thumbs up timestwo.
Okay.
Nathan Mumm (53:42):
All right.
Well, let's now go to oursecret sound.
This is triple the money now.
Yeah, and if you act now, youcan get shares.
Alright, so so does anybodyknow what that is?
Actually, one of our one of ourstaff members knows.
Actually, I think maybe both ofthe guys know.
So we gotta be careful.
If you're on the live chat, oneof them actually spoiled it and
(54:02):
actually put it on the ball.
I did not say, I didn't saywhat the word what it was.
Somebody was on the live chat.
So you need to go in the livestream and make sure you see
what's available there.
Marc Grégoire (54:09):
And then Tech Time Radio said, is it fooze
ball?
Yeah, like they're gonna givethe answer away.
Of course.
That's a metal ball.
That's not a plastic ball.
Oh, you're right.
Ody (54:17):
Is that not a hint?
Marc Grégoire (54:18):
That is a hint.

Let's start today's show.
Introduction (01:32):
Now on today's show.
Nathan Mumm (01:36):
All right, welcome to Tech Time Radio.
Today on the show we have Gwenback with our gadgets and gear
segments, and we have a Zoommeeting failure that will make
you go, hmm.
But now it's time for thelatest headlines in the world of
technology.
Introduction (01:49):
Here are our top technology stories of the week.
Nathan Mumm (01:53):
All right, the US Congressional Budget Office was
targeted by a suspected foreigncyber attack.
Let's go to Lisa Walker formore on the story.
Lisa Walker (02:04):
The Congressional Budget Office confirms a
cybersecurity breach, likely bya foreign hacker that may have
exposed sensitive communicationswith Congress.
Spokesperson Caitlin Emma saysthe agency acted quickly to
contain the incident and hasadded new security measures.
The Washington Post broke thestory, noting officials
(02:25):
discovered the hack recently andfear emails between CBO
analysts and congressionaloffices may have been
compromised.
Well, folks, I'm sleepingsoundly with our national
security getting compromisedevery few months.
Aren't you?
Back to the studio.
Mike Gorday (02:42):
Well, that was a little snarky.
Nathan Mumm (02:44):
Was it?
Uh, you know what?
Lisa uh just decided to go forit all there.
I guess, I guess she must besleeping much better than I'm
doing because let's talk aboutthis.
The CBO is a nonpartisan agencythat provides lawmakers with
economic analysis, costestimates for proposed
legislation.
So they're the ones that do allthe budget.
So if we're gonna put in cybersecurity people that need to be
(03:05):
hired and do certain stuff,they'll have a price for that.
So they come up with all of theforecast economic budget
information.
Now, they're a part of acybersecurity attack, a known
entity, which is uh China.
I don't know if you've everheard of them.
Have you heard of China?
No, no.
So China uh main hacking groupwas actually the group that
decided to compromise what theyhad going on there.
(03:26):
Now, let me let me just ask youthis.
You know what?
I I I'm kind of about numbers.
You know what?
Do you know that sincePresident Donald Trump took
office, we have 12 majorsecurity incidents that have
happened.
So it's just very interesting.
This is who has beencompromised so far this year
that we have talked about onTech Time Radio.
Now, we can't cover everysingle cyber attack to our
government, otherwise, we wouldjust have uh 12 of our shows
(03:50):
dedicated to this.
But we have the U.S.
Treasury Department, theDepartment of Health and Human
Services, the Department ofJustice, the Department of
Interior, and the Committee onForeign Investments in the
United States, which reviewsforeign investment for national
security risks, have all beenbreached this year.
So there you go.
You know what?
Be careful with your data.
And if you're the United Statesgovernment, uh I don't think it
(04:11):
matters.
Be uh be even more careful.
I know.
You know, I I just wish thatyou know what the government
needs to hire back somecybersecurity people that can
help us in this incident.
Let's hope that we can figureout these uh breaches and and
not have them happen anymore.
I you know, we can get rid ofthe internet, that would work.
You get rid of the internet?
Okay.
I don't know if that would workgood for our six streaming uh
(04:32):
platforms.
Mike Gorday (04:32):
Well, it might yeah, it might not work for us,
but it'd certainly work for youknow going back to going back to
the good old days when you hadto write a check for your
groceries.
Nathan Mumm (04:41):
Uh I sat down and had to write checks this week.
Do you do you know how long ittakes for people to deposit
checks?
I can write a check forsomething.
I grew up in that.
And it literally Odia, how uhso I I know that you get paid uh
in checks.
How long does it take you todeposit your check?
Ody (04:56):
What do you mean, like the bank or for me to do it?
Nathan Mumm (04:59):
Yeah, for you to do it.
Ody (05:00):
Oh, I forgot I forget about it all the time.
I go like a month withoutdepositing it.
Nathan Mumm (05:06):
That's exactly what I'm saying.
And you know what you'd thinkthat that would be uniquely
different, but every every Isend out stuff for our I do a
big event once a year.
I send I now have peoplecashing two and three thousand
dollar checks.
Okay, and this is literally nownow.
This is four months after theevent itself.
So then I kind of look back andsay, Did they really need to
get paid money if they didn'tever go through and do the
(05:28):
check?
But never mind.
Okay.
All right, all right.
Story story number two.
This this is exciting here,Mike.
This is our tease for the show.
Uh is it really?
It was.
What do we got going on here?
Mike Gorday (05:38):
Well, you know, I thought we had been done and
over with the whole Zoom thing,you know, after the pandemic,
but clearly we haven't because aDetroit police officer was
caught without his pants on acourt hearing video.
Nathan Mumm (05:54):
What's more caught all excited?
He decided just to crash theway.
Mike Gorday (05:58):
Yeah, yeah.
He's excited about the pants.
Okay.
All right.
Officer Matthew Jackson of theDetroit Police Department
appeared at virtual courtproceeding, missing a crucial
part of his uniform.
He was caught during the courtappearance with his pants down,
literally.
It actually looks like he wason the toilet.
It does.
The verified video sharedonline.
Detroit police officer MatthewJackson is seen during a Monday
(06:19):
court appearance via videoconference without his pants on.
Officer Jackson was dressed inhis police uniform top, but was
apparently wearing onlyundershorts, which prompted the
judge to ask him a pointedquestion.
You got some pants on, officer?
Nathan Mumm (06:35):
How do you have to ask that, right?
Mike Gorday (06:36):
I don't know.
He no, sir, he said.
He tilted his camera up so thatyou could only see the waist
up.
The waist up.
Okay, which is this is thezoom.
Nathan Mumm (06:47):
If they're gonna do the party on the bottom and the
professionalism on the top,wouldn't you know by now how to
point a camera?
Are you I mean come on now,too?
Mike Gorday (06:56):
Did you just relate Zoom to well?
Nathan Mumm (06:59):
There's a lot of people that do mullets?
There's a lot of people thatthat do Zoom calls that'll have
like shorts on or something likethat.
Doesn't everybody know no, butif but if you're not gonna have
either.
Mike Gorday (07:10):
You do it opposite, you you don't wear the shirt
and then you can't get away withthat.
Nathan Mumm (07:16):
Yeah, yeah.
Right now I I'm fully dressedup, so I I'm not like in shorts
that are here.
Ody (07:22):
Yeah, this is a this is But there was an episode a couple
weeks ago where you were wearingcargo shorts on top of your
shirt.
Yes, we all we all saw.
Nathan Mumm (07:30):
We all know that he does this sometimes, but I'm
gonna make sure I'm not oncamera there during the whole
time if I'm doing this.
Ody (07:36):
But you didn't do that that day.
Nathan Mumm (07:37):
I did do it that day.
Ody (07:38):
But I'm not like at least stood up.
Mike Gorday (07:41):
All right.
Well, anyway, the court wantsyou to wear your dress code.
Did the person get hoped?
Did the person not not wearingit?
No, he just tilted his camera.
Ody (07:50):
Okay, okay.
So it was just like a awarning.
Yeah, an advisory.
Mike Gorday (07:57):
I I think I think this one's gone off the rails.
But it happens.
You know, this is this is humanthis is human behavior.
Nathan Mumm (08:04):
So what did the guy say about it?
Just think he's gotta be themost teased guy at the poor.
Mike Gorday (08:09):
You know, you know he is getting you know he is
getting he is getting all kindsof hazing for this.
Right?
So Detroit Police Chief ToddBettison issued a statement in
response to this that said thatDetroit Police Department
requires this officers representrepresent themselves in a
dignified and professionalmanner while attending court
proceedings, even if you are athome on Zoom.
(08:29):
Involved officers' actions arenot representative of the
professionalism of thisdepartment, will be
appropriately addressed tomaintain the public confidence
and efficient operation of thisdepartment.
Our apologies are herebyextended to the judges and staff
of the court as well as anyoneelse who may have been in
attendance during this incident.
Moral of the story is wearpants or make sure your camera
(08:50):
is tilted in the rightdirection.
That's exactly right, right?
Yeah.
Don't you just this is justnormal, this is just normal
stuff.
Nathan Mumm (08:57):
Okay.
Really, that's normal?
A police officer goes onto aZoom meeting wearing only his
underwear.
Okay.
Ody (09:04):
We're talk we're talking about you had a top on.
Mike Gorday (09:06):
We're talking about we're talking about social
behavior here.
Yeah.
And with the advent of allthese video conferencing that
that's you know, predominantlybecause of the pandemic, yeah,
we have made behavior changesthat reflect that.
And what happens with people isthat we we when we learn
(09:28):
things, when we get we have somelearned behavior, we start we
don't have to think about it.
So we start doing thingsunconsciously.
And one of those things is youknow, not checking the camera
angle.
Oh man.
Nathan Mumm (09:39):
I saw I I saw when I do camera angle stuff, I make
sure even if I have chunk in theback ground type of deal, that
if they're gonna zoom in type ofdeal, that none of that would
be offensive to anybody.
Because you can do it with theHD camera now, you can zoom in
pretty good and see what's goingon.
Mike Gorday (09:54):
We just don't, we just don't we have so much stuff
going on that that some of someof these things they just
bypass our conscious that guygot caught with his pants down.
Dun dun dun.
And and he's gonna he's gonnabe the butt of a lot of jokes
for right now.
Comedy nights opening up, huh?
Yep.
All right, there you go.
Perfect.
All right, well let's talkabout let's talk about this this
(10:16):
next one, which hey do you likemaking passive income?
Nathan Mumm (10:19):
Yeah.
Odie, do you like makingpassive income?
Who doesn't like passiveincome?
Oh, this I mean this is thething to make passive income.
All right, and everybody likesa good night's sleep, right?
IKEA has a smartphone bed thatjust might make you sleep.
It allows you to also makepassive income.
Every night when you tuck inyour kids, our pets and
ourselves, blankets fluffed,lullabies dance in our heads.
(10:42):
We forget about the number onefriend on our list, the glowing
rectangle that we cradle like adigital teddy bear while doom
scrolling ourselves intoinsomnia.
Enter IKEA, the Swedish Jengaexpert, has a solution.
A tiny bed for your smartphone.
Yes, it has a comforter.
No, it's not a joke.
And yes, your phone might nowhave better sleep setup than you
(11:02):
do.
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
The internet reacted withpredictable chaos.
Half the world screamed, Ah,well, the other half Googled, is
this satire or is this evenreal?
But the science checks out.
Behavioral psychology saysrituals help us disconnect.
Is that correct, Mike?
Mike Gorday (11:18):
Rituals do help us disconnect.
Okay, there you go.
If you ritually put your phonedown, you will ritually
disconnect.
How about tucking your phoneinto a miniature bed?
Like a sleepy totter.
Yeah, okay.
Nathan Mumm (11:28):
All right, you know, okay, whatever floats your
boat in.
All right, so guess what?
IKEA actually has a little bedfor you to plug your phone in.
Now, if your phone napsundisturbed for seven hours a
night, IKEA will reward you witha voucher.
That's right.
They will give you money.
That's right.
They will give us to getdiscounts on meepalls and
(11:51):
getting that Swiss Army lampthat nothing better for 19 bucks
or whatever.
You can build yourself creditby having your phone go to sleep
in its own bed.
Now, you'd think that thiswould be the internet crave of
the United States.
No, it's only available in theUnited Arab of Emirates store.
So it's not here in the UnitedStates.
Well, okay.
(12:11):
Yeah, we can wow.
But it may be coming.
Now, here's what you have todo.
You have to spend $200 on thislittle bed.
Literally, it probably is $200.
And that's more than a bed thatyou can get off of Amazon.
Well, hang on, hang on.
$200 for this bed, and it mustinclude one item from the
complete sleep collection fromIKEA.
Oh.
So $200 plus a complete sleepcollection.
(12:34):
Now, if IKEA rolls this outglobally, just think you could
have the dream of having passiveincome and you could pay $200
to let your phone sleep when youcan actually go to IKEA itself
and buy the $60 Needon bed framefor $60 and have back problems.
So there you go.
As a human, you can buy a bedfor $60, but as a phone, your
(12:55):
bed can only be purchased for$200.
I don't know about, you know,so the passive income probably
is accounted into how longyou're gonna pay the $200 for
your little bed, how long you'regonna keep it.
Maybe, maybe.
Mike Gorday (13:08):
But if I'm gonna pay $200 for a tiny bed for my
phone to sleep in and they'regonna give me a discount on
meatballs, I'm not really behindthat.
You're not behind that?
No.
Nathan Mumm (13:17):
All right.
Well, guess what?
That ends our top technologystories of the week.
She's got the picture of itright there.
Look at that.
That that's just ridiculous.
Odie, would you buy it?
She would.
Ody (13:26):
If it wasn't $200, I'd say maybe like it was just cocky or
something.
It is so cute, though.
I know.
And it has a little comforter.
Nathan Mumm (13:35):
I look forget I'm looking at there's little
there's there's sheets on it.
Ody (13:39):
Yeah.
And a pillow.
I know.
Well, I mean, like your phone.
Now, if it charged your phone,it does appear.
Nathan Mumm (13:45):
It does charge your phone too.
Mike Gorday (13:46):
So it's a $200 charger that looks like a bed
for your phone.
Ody (13:49):
I think that's adorable.
But $200 is not a cute rightnow.
Mike Gorday (13:53):
So you know it's gonna be next.
We're gonna have like a littledollhouse that goes with it.
Ody (13:57):
I'm not against it.
Mike Gorday (13:58):
You're gonna well, yeah.
I get that you're not againstthat.
Just think next year, butinstead of using dolls for
dollhouse, it's gonna be yourphone house.
Ody (14:06):
I'm like, oh look, my little bit for my phone.
Oh, you put your little leashon it.
Nathan Mumm (14:14):
Oh, let's just passive income.
You know what?
We come up with business ideaseach each and every show on the
colour.
There we go.
That's all right.
Okay, well, that answer give ussome meatballs.
They're meatballs.
Have you tried their veganmeatballs?
I don't drive meatballs.
Oh my word.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, that ends our toptechnology stories of the week.
Vegan meatballs should not beever created in this world.
(14:35):
Uh moving on, we have Gwen thatwill be joining us in our
gadgets and gear segment upnext.
We're gonna take an 88 mile perhour break.
See you next segment.

Nathan Mumm (15:33):
All right, Mike is figuring out how to save his
pennies for that $200 phone bed.
I just want to know how long ittakes to build it.
That's about the IKEAinstructions.
Yeah, you get you get seven-pageinstructions with no words on
it, and a guy that has like thethumbs up, thumbs down, and the
little Can I just say that Gwenand I are in agreement?
Ody (15:53):
We would pay like $25 for it.
Nathan Mumm (15:55):
You pay $25?
Ody (15:56):
I'd pay $25.
Nathan Mumm (15:56):
But you wouldn't pay $200.
Ody (15:57):
No.
Nathan Mumm (15:58):
But it's a charger, so the charger is like $60.
And it gives you meatballs.
Ody (16:02):
Yeah.
I'm not against that.
Nathan Mumm (16:04):
Okay.
All right.
Well, welcome back to Tech Timewith Lathe the Mom.
Our weekly show covers the toptechnology subjects without any
political agenda.
We verify the facts, we do asense of humor in less than 60
minutes, and of course, with alittle whiskey on the side.
Today, Mark Gregoire, a whiskeyconnoisseur, is in studio, and
he has a single whiskey.
We're not doing ourcompetition, but this is really,
really good already.
(16:26):
So what do we have that we'retasting today?
Marc Grégoire (16:28):
Yeah, Mark, what are we drinking to take the
pain away?
Today is Remus Repeal ReservesSeries 5.
Oh.
From Remus' website introducingRemus Repeal Reserves Series 5,
comprised of a melody of fivebourbons aged since 2005 to
2008.
Series 5 is carefully craftedto honor the repeal of
Prohibition on December 5th,1933.
(16:51):
The 2021 limited edition leadswith dried fruit, rich caramel,
maple syrup, roasted nuts, andleather.
The beginning includes richtoffee and vanilla, followed by
chocolate, glazed nuts, and oak.
The finish offers candiedfruit, caramel baking spices,
baking spice, and a lingeringoaky rice spice.
Now when this was released atthe time in 2021, it was by the
(17:15):
Luxco Company, which then wasbought by MGP, which then
changed their name to Ross andSquib.
The distillation at the timewas G Remus Distillery, which is
of course a Ross and Squibbdistillery now in Lawrenceburg,
Indiana.
Straight bourbon, it's non-agestated because the mash bills
are a mix of five differentbourbons.
(17:36):
Okay.
If you try and pick it up onthe secondary market now, it's
about 175 plus.
Alright, so did you pick thisup on the secondary market?
I did not.
Nathan Mumm (17:51):
Okay.
Marc Grégoire (17:52):
I did I I got it recently, and you will find out
in the mumbles how I obtainedit.
Oh.
Nathan Mumm (17:57):
Did Mr.
Remus himself give it to you?
Yeah, that's another blackmarket thing that he does.
Did you see that he did hetalked he kind of plugged in
another YouTube uh uh whiskeyplace?
Maybe that is the plug for theplace that he got it from.
Marc Grégoire (18:10):
What I'm thinking for.
Nathan's on fire today.
That's right.
Nathan Mumm (18:13):
See, I'm paying attention here.
Marc Grégoire (18:15):
Now, as you're enjoying this whiskey, so
Nathan's finished his already.
That's great.
Wow, some of those toughstories must have been tough for
you guys.
Please don't forget to like andsubscribe.
Nathan, please drinkresponsibly.
Heaven can win.
Nathan Mumm (18:28):
All right.
You know what we want to thankall the veterans today.
It is Veterans Day.
So I just want to thank all theveterans that all that you have
done for our country and keepus safe.
Marc Grégoire (18:36):
Oh, we jump into the uh what we're celebrating
on November 11th.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no.
Okay, no.
So I have to come back.
You still gotta come back.
I just want to get ahead ofourselves.
Nathan Mumm (18:45):
I just want to thank Veterans Day.
Mike Gorday (18:46):
Nathan is.
Nathan Mumm (18:47):
Well, no, I just say today is Veterans Day.
Mike Gorday (18:49):
Nathan, yeah, but the difference is Nathan doesn't
know he's getting ahead ofhimself.
I don't know what you have.
I'm sorry that I got ahead.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Well you know, part of the bestthing about this show is making
making Odie bust up.
Nathan Mumm (19:02):
With our whiskey tasting completed, let's move on
to our feature segment today.
We have Gwenway joining theshow.
She is an expert incybersecurity during the day and
a game board geek in theevening, as well as a producer
of Tech Time Radio and ourgadgets and gear gal.
Let's get ready to start ourComcast video stream for our
next segment.
Introduction (19:20):
What's new in our gadgets and gear?
Nathan Mumm (19:22):
All right, Gwen, welcome back to the show.
Tell us a little bit aboutyourself for any new listeners.
Gwen Way (19:28):
Certainly, certainly.
Hello, everybody.
Uh, I am Gwen and I've been intechnology for a little over a
quarter of a century.
Uh, as Nathan said, I uh focuson cybersecurity during my day
job.
Uh, but I also like to have funwith different gadgets.
So let's talk.
Nathan Mumm (19:48):
All right.
So normally uh now let me justtell you, Gwen.
So I don't I on Kickstarter,there's a thing that I have.
I have one of the originalVetrexes, and so there's a mini
Vetrix on sale right now.
If anybody wants to go outthere, I bought 10 of them.
So Christmas gift spoiler foreverybody that they're getting
10 of these mini vetrix gameunits and like the mini mini
computer.
So there you go.
(20:09):
My wife, I'm gonna I'm gonnakind of wrap these up like the
pots and pans I did for forChristmas now.
Um, but besides we want to talkabout something that we can get
in time for the holidays,right?
So we don't or we're not gonnado Kickstarter.
Now I tell you, I have threeKickstarter funding that said
that they would be here beforethe holidays.
All three of them have beendelayed, Quinn.
(20:29):
So I I I didn't get them forChristmas, and I'm gonna just
put IOUs in in those stockingsfor people and say, here you go.
No, I might added differentstuff.
So Kickstarter takes a while.
This item is available on themarket right now.
Gwen Way (20:44):
Exactly, which is why we went with it this month.
Uh, we'll probably do onethat's actually already on the
market next month as well,because I want to make sure the
listeners can get the best uhChristmas presents possible for
their family.
Nathan Mumm (20:56):
Perfect.
Tell us, what are we looking attoday?
Gwen Way (20:58):
Well, this is something that I personally use
and love and highly recommend.
So we can already get off on agood footing with that.
Uh if our listeners have spentany time on YouTube, they've
probably seen ads for Raycon.
And yeah, this this could be aRaycon ad if Raycon wants to
reach out to Tech Time Radio andsay, hey guys, work with us.
(21:22):
Okay.
Uh in the meantime, though, I'mgoing to send everybody to
rayconglobal.com and recommendthat they look specifically at
the essential open air buds.
Nathan Mumm (21:34):
Essential open air buds.
Okay.
All right.
And how uh Raycon isR-A-Y-C-O-N.
Gwen Way (21:40):
That is correct.
Nathan Mumm (21:41):
Perfect.
Okay.
Gwen Way (21:43):
All right.
So these earbuds are reallycool for a couple of different
reasons.
Number one, they are open ear,uh, which means that while
you're listening to, I don'tknow, your favorite podcast,
like I don't know, causeexactly.
Uh you can also hear thingsaround you.
Uh they're really good foroffice environments.
(22:04):
They're really good for goingfor walks or runs.
They are great for publictransportation.
The one place I would recommendnot using them is on an
airplane because they won't helpdeal with all of the crying
children and uh buzz and veryupset TSA agents.
Nathan Mumm (22:22):
All right.
So they're not noise canceling,is that correct?
Gwen Way (22:25):
Nope.
That is correct.
Nathan Mumm (22:26):
So I'm about to tell you the noise canceling
part, I that kind of freaks meout now.
I put those in the iPod threesand the errors in there, and I
listen, all of a sudden I can'thear anything around me.
And it's like quiet, and then Ijust like think of my inner
thoughts.
Mike Gorday (22:38):
That's because you have to listen to your inner
monologue.
My inner thoughts are prettyscary.
Or your inner monologue becauseof all the voices in there.
Gwen Way (22:46):
And they're all talking to each other.
Yeah, yeah.
Nathan Mumm (22:52):
Nice word use.
There you go.
All right.
Now let's take a look and seewhat makes these earbuds better
than other earbuds, though.
Gwen Way (22:59):
Honestly, there's there's a great number of
things.
They've got an extremely longbattery life.
Uh I've I've got some of theover the ear headphones also
that have the noise canceling.
And in my last work trip toSpain, they lasted all the way
over and all the way back on theplane.
On a single charge?
On a single charge.
Nathan Mumm (23:21):
Wow, wow, no way.
Gwen Way (23:23):
So these are incredible.
They also come with a carryingcase that charges them uh if you
need to bump them up, kind oflike the AirPods have similar
things.
And they come in really coolcolors.
Nathan Mumm (23:37):
Okay, what are the colors they come in?
Gwen Way (23:39):
Uh well, you can get a mint, you can get a carbon
black, you can get a blue, andyou can get a lavender.
Mike Gorday (23:46):
A lavender.
Gwen Way (23:48):
One for everybody in your family.
Mike Gorday (23:50):
Everybody in my family.
Nathan Mumm (23:53):
Gwent said it would be a telemetry.
Gwen Way (23:56):
It is basically.
But wait, there's more.
Mike Gorday (24:01):
All right, so we're gonna- Can I really put them in
my ears and hear things?
You can.
Gwen Way (24:06):
Why yes you can.
Yes, you can.
Nathan Mumm (24:09):
But wait, there's more.
But wait.
All right, so okay, where's theplace we can find these again?
Gwen Way (24:14):
Give us the the URL because it's it's
rayconglobal.com.
Raycon is R-A-Y-C-O-N.
Uh, you can go in, you can seeall of their things there.
Again, I highly recommend theessential open air earbuds.
Okay.
Exactly.
Uh right now, also, and I'm I'mstealing your thunder a little
(24:36):
bit, but I think it's important.
They're doing an early BlackFriday deal, and you can get
these for 30% off.
Nathan Mumm (24:42):
30% off.
Dun dun dun.
Gwen Way (24:45):
Yeah, so they're regularly $80, which is still
well worth the money, but rightnow you can get them for $56.
Nathan Mumm (24:51):
Wow, you see that?
$80 for $56.
That's stuff that you get only.
You're gonna go get some, Iknow.
Mike Gorday (24:58):
I think I will get some.
Nathan Mumm (24:59):
So I got four colors.
Mike Gorday (25:01):
You should plug your whole telemercial thing
too.
Nathan Mumm (25:04):
Okay, all right.
So Black Friday, do you thinkthey're gonna be a bit a better
sale for Black Friday, or do youthink this will be the the
best?
Gwen Way (25:10):
I think this is probably the best.
I think this sale is likely togo on through Black Friday.
Mike Gorday (25:16):
Okay.
Gwen Way (25:16):
Um they have occasionally done Cyber Monday
specials, but they tend to beabout the uh 30 to 40% off
anyway in prior years.
Mike Gorday (25:26):
Right.
Okay.
So are they ever on the AmazonPrime specials that Nathan loves
so much?
Gwen Way (25:31):
Uh I have never seen them on there.
Nathan Mumm (25:33):
I I looked on I looked on Amazon, I did not see
them, so I think you have toactually go to the website to
buy these.
Okay.
Final review and costs, and doyou have a unit?
Those are the questions.
Gwen Way (25:44):
Final review, these are stellar.
They've got six, they've got a4.7 star review right now with
606 people reviewing them.
So that should give you a goodidea.
Uh I own some and absolutelyadore them.
I also have the over the earsand the everyday earbuds.
Like I am a Raycon stan forsure.
(26:07):
And right now, with 30% off,you can get a pair of these open
earbuds for $56.
Nathan Mumm (26:14):
$56.
That's a deal.
That's the deal.
Gwen Way (26:17):

Nathan Mumm (26:18):
That's right.
You know what?

That'll be the top part of ourbanner for Tech Time Radio.
I'm gonna put a link to that soeverybody can get the deal
that's available.

I got 10 of those bad boys.
I so there you it's a very oldconsole, but for us old people
in good one, it's pretty cool.
You know what?
Your your husband would loveit.
So if you don't tell him aboutit, you get it.
(27:00):
You could there, there you go.
Shh.
Just like my wife's getting onefor Christmas too.
Does he listen to the show?
Gwen Way (27:07):
Uh he he does when I'm on, but uh we'll we'll pretend
that he didn't hear anything.
Nathan Mumm (27:11):
Uh-oh, look at that.
He does when she's on.
Otherwise, like she's like, no,he doesn't listen to it when
Nathan's on.
But when I'm on, of course,it's a lot of fun.
Mike Gorday (27:18):
I mean, okay.
There you go.
Nathan Mumm (27:19):
All right, I understand.
All right.
Thank you so much, Gwen.
We'll see you next month.
Thank you.
All right, that ends oursegment.
We want to thank Gwen for beinga part of the show.
She does a great job findingthe most unique items each month
for our show.
And with that, let's now moveon to Mike's mesmerizing moment.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Welcome to Mike's mesmerizing moment.
What does Mike have to saytoday?
Nathan Mumm (27:43):
All right, I'm going back to the question that
we had on the the since you'retalking about Zoom meetings and
different stuff, are we morereliant on tech during in-person
meetings?
I go into some of thesein-person meetings and I see
people now on their phones andnever paying attention.
So it's literally just a bunchof bobbled heads scrolling,
scrolling, scrolling, one persontalking, and then everybody's
(28:04):
like, uh, what'd you say?
What'd you say?
Well, what's going on withthis, Mike?
Mike Gorday (28:08):
Why are you asking me?
You already have the evidence.
Nathan Mumm (28:10):
Well, I but why are we why is this happening?
Mike Gorday (28:13):
Why well, I think a a good answer would be we have
an a tech addiction and we havetrouble getting off of our
phones.
This is not a new phenomenon.
When we did all these in-personmeetings prior to all this
video technology, what werepeople doing?
They were doodling or pickingtheir nails or staring off in
(28:33):
the space.
Okay.
Yeah.
So this is not necessarily anew behavior, it's just a new
focal point.
Nathan Mumm (28:39):
That we've now become accepted uh that you can
pick up your phone and look atit during a meeting.
Mike Gorday (28:44):
Well, yeah, and there's also there's also some
things called boundary issuesthat we're talking about.
If you allow people to havetheir phones and and don't call
them out for it, they're gonnajust sit there and do this.
But you know, part of it is thenormal behavior coupled with
the addiction of technology thatmakes this happen.
So I don't know, I don't Idon't I don't think it makes it
(29:05):
smoother.
Nathan Mumm (29:05):
I don't think it makes it smoother.
Mike Gorday (29:07):
But you know, in video conferencing, I guess you
can you can also add the factthat uh when you when you're on
a Zoom meeting, are you payingattention to everything or are
you reading emails and doingthings like that?
Nathan Mumm (29:20):
So I must be old school because most of the time
I'm actually trying to engage inthe meeting.
Okay.
Well That's your fault.
Okay, I I I clearly that mustbe the the point because I will
I do some online meetings and Iand I know that when I ask in
questions.
Mike Gorday (29:34):
Are these meetings that you're running or meetings
that you're just sitting in?
Sometimes they're running.
Because, you know, when we'resitting in meetings, because you
know, I work for thegovernment, so we have meetings
about meetings that we're gonnahave a meeting about.
Okay.
Right?
So we're just sitting there andnothing is really relevant to
me personally.
So, you know, I'm gonna bereading emails or I'm gonna be
(29:54):
doing some other productivething because I don't need to be
sitting in this meeting exceptfor I have to be sitting in the
Meeting.
Nathan Mumm (30:00):
So isn't that when you should just send an email to
somebody?
If it can't be if it has to bemore than a 10 minute
engagement, you should do ameeting.
If you can get it done in anemail and it doesn't take any
it's a yes or no decision, itshould just be an email, right?
Mike Gorday (30:12):
Yeah, there's a lot of shooting right there.
Okay.
All right.
Nathan Mumm (30:15):
A lot of shooting.
Mike Gorday (30:16):
Yeah, you just should all over the place.
Nathan Mumm (30:19):
All right.
That was should.
Uh Odie's like, I gotta go backand edit that out.
No, you don't.
It's not it's a word.
Yeah.
Mike Gorday (30:25):
That's a whole bunch of shit.
It's a bunch of yeah, don'tshoot on the don't shoot on the
the the thing, Odie.
All right, okay.
Nathan Mumm (30:33):
Thank you, Mike, for that mesmerizing moment.
Mike Gorday (30:35):
Yeah, that's that was really mesmerizing.
Nathan Mumm (30:37):
Well, kind of was I was mesmerized.
You're mesmerized?
Mike Gorday (30:39):
All right, well up next we have your dazzling
personality.
Nathan Mumm (30:43):
Thank you, Mike, for that mesmerizing moment.
Up next we have This Week inTechnology.
Now would be a good time toenjoy a little whiskey on the
side as we're gonna be doing soduring the break.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
That's it.
That's that simple.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
And now, let's look back at this week in technology.
Nathan Mumm (32:06):
All right, Mike.
We're going all the way back toNovember 12th, 2000.
That was a long time ago.
That was a long time ago.
All right.
Microsoft declares tablets arethe future.
Now, Bill Gates does ademonstration of a functional
prototype of a tablet PC.
Microsoft claims that thetablet PC will represent the
next major evolution in PCdesign and functionality.
(32:26):
However, the tablet PCinitiative never really takes
off, and it isn't until Appleintroduced the iPad in 2010 that
tablet computing is widelyadopted.
Now, Microsoft's failure withthe tablet PC initiative was
twofold.
First, they simply tried toadapt Windows, an operating
system designed to use akeyboard and mouse to all of a
sudden be touch screen and peninterface.
(32:47):
Users never really warmed up tothe awkward hybrid interface,
and none of the items workedcorrectly when you had your PIN.
So your PIN was like thebiggest drawback for the whole
thing.
You'd have to collaborate itevery time you used it.
And then if it was off a bit asyou were writing, it would not
do the correct A, B, C's, any ofthe letters it would do that
have spaces in there.
Did not work.
Mike Gorday (33:08):
Now I mean really it was in 2000, so it was way
before its time.
So it was before its time.
That's correct.
Nathan Mumm (33:14):
And you know, finally then they decided the
design for the hardware would befor their OEM partners.
So anybody could come up withthe idea of what the tablet PC
looked like.
So you had Dell fighting overthis, you had a bunch of
different laptop providers,ASUS, you had Lenovo at the time
that was coming up withdifferent ideas, and none of
them really took off.
(33:35):
It's interesting becauseMicrosoft has been very
successful and has learned fromthis failure because they
created the Surface tablets.
You have a surface right infront of you right now.
Yeah, it's one of the mostawesome things that I own.
Now, do you know why?
This because Microsoft decidedto steal Apple's interface and
information and then mimic themodels that Apple proved
(33:56):
successful to create a tablet.
And then that's really funnybecause we just talked about
this a couple episodes ago.
Now Apple is copying thesurface because their new PCs
that are coming on out next yearand the year after are going to
have touch screens.
So Microsoft copied good oldApple.
Now Apple's copying that.
This isn't this isn't newbehavior.
(34:18):
It's not new behavior.
Okay.
Well, we're going to take acommercial break.
When we return, we have MarkMumble Whiskey Review.
See you after this break.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
The segment we've been waiting all week for.
Nathan Mumm (34:59):
Did you notice Mike's out of his whiskey also
now?
Marc Grégoire (35:02):
I did.
I see two empty glasses.
Luckily, I saved a little bitfor me.
Uh-oh.
Nathan Mumm (35:08):
That's pretty good stuff.
Marc Grégoire (35:10):
All right, celebrating November 11th.
First, as Nathan mentionedearlier, a heartfelt shout-out
to all veterans in both Canadaand the United States, because
both countries are celebratingtoday.
Thank you all for your serviceand sacrifice as we celebrate
Veterans Day.
Nathan Mumm (35:24):
Now, speaking of Canada.
Marc Grégoire (35:25):
Cheers.
Nathan Mumm (35:26):
Speaking of Canada, are you uh I I heard a little
rumor, a little birdie, sayingthat you now have your uh
citizenship up in Canada.
Marc Grégoire (35:34):
That's correct.
I'm a dual citizen.
Okay, there you go.
Well, congratulations.
Now, also today we'recelebrating another thing.
Oh, what's that?
Dun dun dun.
Uh is it origami?
Origami Day.
Bingo! Thank you for helpingout, OD.
Today, National Origami Day.
Oh, look at Odi.
There you go.
Put on screen there.
A time to slow down, find yourZen, and appreciate the beauty
(35:55):
of precision and patience.
Originally called Oryekata,origami dates back to Japan as
early as 105 AD.
Now that's a long time ago.
Not 25 years.
105 AD.
Alright, that is.
Before the IndustrialRevolution, paper was a luxury
reserved for the elite.
But today, anyone with a sheetof paper and a little focus can
master the fold.
(36:16):
Even Odie joins in, showing offher best origami dog.
That's right.
That was pretty good.
Nathan Mumm (36:24):
Have you ever done the origami with the frog that
hops?
Mike Gorday (36:26):
Uh yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, see.
I I I I I actually do a lot oforigami.
You do?
Yeah.
Well, maybe not a lot, but I doorigami.
Marc Grégoire (36:35):
Origami?
I thought it helps with Zen.
Doesn't seem to help youhelping Mike.
Hey, I didn't say I do a lot ofit.
Mike Gorday (36:42):
I do Tai Chi too.
Nathan Mumm (36:44):
Oh, what's it?
Mike Gorday (36:45):
What's Tai Chi?
Never mind.
Okay.
Nathan Mumm (36:47):
Isn't that the thing you're outside?
I didn't I go to a Tai Chievent with you?
Uh yeah, you did.
Yeah, you uh Mike led it.
Ody (36:53):
I cannot imagine Nathan doing Tai Chi.
Nathan can't do it.
Nathan Mumm (36:57):
Well now, hang on now.
I I thought I was doing it.
Marc Grégoire (37:00):
Did you bring a long chair just to watch?
Nathan Mumm (37:02):
No, I had a mat and I was doing everything.
Did you just we don't need amat.
Then all of a sudden I did thecrane kick in Karate Kid.
Ody (37:13):
That tells me all I need to know about.
Marc Grégoire (37:15):
That's exactly right.
Continue on.
So origami day celebrates theart of precision layering, just
like Remus Repeal Reserve 5,where five distinct bourbon
vintages are folded togetherwith the same meticulous care it
takes to turn paper intopoetry.
You see how he does that?
I did.
Nathan Mumm (37:36):
Maybe you should take lessons.
He should just read books topeople at night and become a
narrator.
It's so soothing.
Marc Grégoire (37:41):
So each blend of this whiskey combines high high
rye bourbons aged six tofourteen years from the historic
Ross and Squibb distillery.
Some with mash bills nearly 40%rye.
Now it's still a bourbon, butthey're very high rye mash
bills.
The real artistry lies in theblending where flavors of spice,
(38:02):
oak, and caramel don't justbalance, they transform.
In bourbon chemistry, newflavor compounds are born as
those distinct profiles merge,creating a whiskey experience
that literally cannot existwithout the blend.
Nathan Mumm (38:16):
So so when they do this, do they let the the blends
sit for a year or so so thatthey mix together, or is it
something that they do prettyquickly and then bottle it?
Marc Grégoire (38:29):
It depends on the district.
So I don't know this particularone.
Some of them will mix a fewtogether, let it sit for up to a
month, and then taste it again,see how it's what it's doing,
and then see what other barrelsto add or what other people they
did not choose these fivewhiskies up front to blend
together, at least that's myhypothesis.
They just started blending andkind of see which ones would fit
(38:49):
together.
Okay.
All right.
Now, I could not have asked fora better raffle win.
This port turned out to be anabsolute gem.
Rich, bold, and full ofpersonality from start to
finish.
I snagged it at a get togetherhosted by the YouTube channel
Curiosity Public.
And let me tell you, whenwhiskey meets good company and
great conversation, that's mykind of victory.
Nathan Mumm (39:11):
All right.
Now you really are.
Marc Grégoire (39:12):
That's the only reason I show up here every
week.
Mike Gorday (39:14):
For good conversation?
I don't think so.
Marc Grégoire (39:16):
Okay, all right.
Well, at least for the whiskey.
That's okay.
Nathan Mumm (39:18):
So so but so uh the little plug to that, the
YouTube group is every once ayear they have an event and you
go to and you and you kind ofhang out and have a good time.
Marc Grégoire (39:28):
I do, and and then on the air, you guys rip on
me for not being here.
But you know what?
I'm bringing bottles back toyou.
That's all right.
That's a good that's a good youknow what?
We appreciate that.
Mike Gorday (39:37):
He's paying us with whiskey.
Marc Grégoire (39:39):
And you got from that trip, you got this one,
and then you got the Baker's 13,which we had uh.
This is actually really, reallygood.
Nathan Mumm (39:46):
This one's excellent.
Is this on your top shelf ormiddle shelf?
This is on my top shelf.
Oh, it was on his top shelf,like before we go out.
And I have a backup bottle.
Oh, he's got a backup bottle.
Oh, you know what?
I'm getting for Christmas then.
All right, no, just joking.
All right, let's let's move on.
Whiskey and technology are sucha great pairing.
Like wine and Jesus.
(40:07):
The holiday season is upon us.
Okay, okay.
That's good, right?
Mike Gorday (40:11):
No, I'm just I'm laughing because of the suspense
content there.
Marc Grégoire (40:15):
Oh, yeah, there was wondering what's gonna drop
next because I was ready to ripon him, but you know what?
That's a that's a beautifulpairing.
That is pretty good pairing.
Actually, my wife and mydaughter and I this past weekend
just went to a wine and cheesetasting out in Woodenville.
There you go.
Fantastic.
It was fantastic.
It was great cheese, greatwine.
Nathan Mumm (40:33):
Excellent pairing.
Just like technology andwhiskey.
I love you again.
There you are.
All right, now let's preparefor our technology fail of the
week.
Let's get out of this week.
That's my Elita ExecutiveServices.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Congratulations.
You're a failure.
Oh, I failed.
Did I?
Yes.
Did I?
Yes.
Nathan Mumm (40:52):
All right.
So, you know, that this isgonna be Mike's gonna love this.
It's about chat GPT.
So let's let's talk about this.
All right, the University ofIllinois.
What was that in Illinois?
The University of Illinois.
Illinois.
Marc Grégoire (41:04):
No, no, can we say Illinois?
Illinois?
Nathan Mumm (41:06):
Illinois.
Where are we?
Is it not Illinois?
Most people say Illinois.
Marc Grégoire (41:09):
Now, of course, if you're from the inner city of
Chicago, you're allowed to sayIllinois, but you're not, so
stick with Illinois.
Okay, Illinois.
Nathan Mumm (41:17):
Guess what happens?
When you get an apology thatgets flagged for plagiarism, it
might be the time to log off achat GPT.
At this university, two datascience professors caught dozens
of students cheating with AI.
Dozens of students.
Dozens of students, then caughtthem using AI again to write an
apology email.
The professors known on campusas the data science duo read
(41:39):
these robotic remorses out loudin class, projecting the copy
and paste parade for 1,200students to witness.
That's awesome.
All right, turns out thestudents old school scaming
right there.
I know.
I mean, they probably got in somuch trouble because all those
people's feelings were hurt.
All right.
Since the syllabus did not banAI, no one was punished for
(42:00):
grades, but they did receivepublic criticism.
One student reportedly asked ifAI could write a better excuse
next time.
Another wondered if theirapology could at least come up
with a chatbot generated hug.
Moral of the story if you'regonna cheat with AI, at least
don't let it plagiarize yourapology too.
So so this is becoming a littlebit of an issue.
Mike Gorday (42:21):
So there were no there was no lesson, there was
no lesson learned.
I told you this was an issueway back when we're gonna be.
Marc Grégoire (42:38):
Okay, I understood the story right.
All right.
Nathan Mumm (42:40):
So so this is what's happening.
This people are now are gettinglazy.
And I now No way.
Marc Grégoire (42:46):
Well, let's start off.
Nathan Mumm (42:47):
People have always been lazy.
Okay, go on.
People were coding ishappening.
Now I use vibe code thataffects our tech time radio uh
website and some stuff, and itdid a great job, which vibe
coding means you put in yourprompt into an AI and it comes
out with code.
You got to be careful about itbecause malware can get
introduced to it.
A bunch of things can happenalso, but it seems to be now
people instead of just typingemails anymore, people just put
(43:09):
it in the chat GPT, boom, send,boom, send, and it's becoming
kind of uh is that what you do?
Yeah, absolutely.
So you don't write any of youremails anymore, you just say,
Hey, I'm in a uh upset mood.
Tell my boss that I need thisto be taken care of.
Marc Grégoire (43:23):
You write the summary or you write kind of I
write just the bullet points ofwhat I want in there, and then
because we're we're technicalpeople, we suck in English.
Okay, that is true in grammar,that is true and spelling, and
pronouncation is that Nathan'sexcuse?
Pronunciation so then it writesit for me.
I read it quickly, and I'mlike, oh not right, modify this,
modify this.
I get it what I want, then Icut and paste it, and then I'll
(43:44):
tweak it just a fine time.
Mike Gorday (43:45):
All right, all right.
As an interested observer inthis, because you know I write
my own stuff.
I I don't use chat GPT writestuff.
Okay, you unicorn.
Right?
So um Oh, look at Odie gotreally good.
Does it take you just as longto write a chat GPT email that
it does to for me to write aregular email?
It's absolutely not way, way,way, way faster.
Marc Grégoire (44:07):
I get so much.
It's more creative.
It's more creative.
I am so slow to write andproperly write an email for me.
So let's talk SATs.
My overall SAT was pretty goodbecause my math was super high.
My English was abysmal.
Okay.
And so it takes me a very longtime to do it.
See, I had the opposite.
Mike Gorday (44:23):
I had a I had a really high, really high vocab
and a a not so high math.
It was not bad, but it was Ihad high math too.
I had all Yeah, well.
Marc Grégoire (44:35):
It was pretty late.
We already know about hisEnglish.
That's why we both went intoour personality.
You know, I want a spelling bein like fifth grade.
I just want to know that.
Nathan Mumm (44:44):
My spelling was good for some time in life.
Yeah, okay.
Ody (44:47):
Well, I was gonna say, if you're not using the skills to
write a proper email, you'rejust hindering yourself later
down the line.
That's correct.
Mike Gorday (44:56):
That is exactly the problem.
Okay, Odie, and that's andOdie, I'm too old for that.
Ody (45:01):
How are you any better than these students that can't even
be bothered to write their ownapology?
Marc Grégoire (45:05):
Yeah, I don't I I would have just said I'm mic
drop.
Burn.
Uh uh You know, I actuallydon't have a problem with them
writing the apology with AI.
So, in other words, uh Marxistokay, no matter what.
You know, they took the time toactually do something.
No, they had to bring them up.
They got caught apologies.
Mike Gorday (45:25):
They got caught using chat GPT for their
assignments.
The professor said, Hey, youyou got caught, now you
apologize.
Then they went back and usedthe chat GPT to apologize.
Is there one Ferris jewelerthat's running the whole group?
It's just like say, well, no,that's just all just lazy.
Like you guys, it's exactly thesame thing.
Marc Grégoire (45:43):
ChatGPT is a tool.
It's a tool.
So I don't use it to do my job.
Mike Gorday (45:47):
My main job is your job not have emails in it?
This is exactly the same thingby saying that.
Sorry I got caught.
Marc Grégoire (45:54):
That's just the negative part of your job.
Whoa.
Ody (45:57):
I feel like if I went into an interview and was like,
listen, I'm great at doing theboard, but I suck at the
personal thing.
I want to uh I wouldn't gethired.
Mike Gorday (46:05):
Can I can I do that in future interviews?
Can I say, hey, when they askme to get hired?
When they ask me a question,can I say hang on wait?
Nathan Mumm (46:13):
Wait, wait till I check the GPT the answer.
I'll make sure I get stufftaken care of.
All right.
Marc Grégoire (46:18):
You have to know your job, you have to know what
to do, you have to have thosepersonal connections.
But for the little side things,just like calc, so nobody uses
a calculator here?
Right.
Nathan Mumm (46:27):
Because I got a phone.
Actually, I do.
I use calc all the time.
Marc Grégoire (46:30):
You can't use calc.
No, no, that's terrible.
You must do the math by hand.
No, you know, my teaching saidI need to.
Exactly what you're saying.
Nathan Mumm (46:38):
You need to know math case.
You're never gonna have adevice that's gonna have a
calculator on it.
How are you gonna be able to domath?
Guess what?
I got it in my pocket.
I got three of them now.
I just from two phones to threephones.
That was probably your bestaccent so far.
Oh, you think so?
Okay.
Don't encourage neverencourage.
All right, let's go to ourNathan Nuggets.
I think we really need to.
Mike Gorday (46:57):
I think we need to spend time.
You just had everybody yellingin a mic.
That's all right.
Here we go.
Marc Grégoire (47:02):
We're off the rails today.
Introduction (47:04):
This is your nugget of the week.
Mike Gorday (47:06):
All right, you guys are all gonna love this.
Yeah, I gotta get on Chat GPTand figure out what I'm gonna
answer.
Hold on.
Marc Grégoire (47:12):
Okay, make it think for you.
Just write what you think.
Nathan Mumm (47:16):
Lego is going boldly where no brick has gone
before.
Yeah, this has nothing to dowith tech, but it's awesome.
We're all gonna like this.
A $400 Star Trek Enterprise setis now available.
True.
Move over Millennium Falcon.
There's a new nerd shrine intown, and it goes warp speed.
Starting November 28th, Lego isfinally releasing the neutral
(47:40):
zones Star Trek territory forthe first time ever from the
franchise with a glorious 3600.
Marc Grégoire (47:47):
It's been five years.
You're not gonna fix it.
Star Trek?
He claims to be a geek, buthe's really just a collector
that resells things.
Mike Gorday (47:54):
He's really not a nerd.
Well, I'm not I'm not laughingabout that.
I'm laughing at the fact thathe uses ChatGPT to do a script
and you can't read it properly.
Nathan Mumm (48:01):
I don't do chat GPT.
Mike Gorday (48:03):
Lego is finally crossing the neutral zone into
Star Trek territory.
That's what you should havesaid.
Nathan Mumm (48:08):
Okay, with the first ever from the franchise, a
glorious 3600 piece USEnterprise NC 17D from the next
generation.
1701D, what?
From the next generation.
Mike Gorday (48:19):
1701.
1701, not 17D.
That's a brass up.
1701D.
Wow.
You would think he neverwatched the show.
Nathan Mumm (48:28):
I just went through the whole season of next
generation again.
This Star Trek.
All right.
So let me okay.
All right.
Talk to us Nathan.
Okay, Star Trek nerds.
If you order it, this is thereally important.
You gotta get on and order itwhen it becomes available.
You you actually get bonusshadow pod.
Before December 1st, if youorder it, you get the extra type
(48:50):
15 shuttle pod set.
So this is like a Black Fridaydeal with more Dilithium
crystals.
But let's talk about what youactually get on there.
These are the characters youget.
Captain Picard comes with ateacup, all right?
Because diploma Earl Grey.
Earl Glay.
With Earl Grey, that's correct.
Commander Riker comes with atrombone.
Okay.
Because he played the trombonein the series, right?
(49:12):
Okay.
Wharf comes with a phaser andtons of forehead ridges.
Now, this is the best thing.
This is in their promotionalmaterial.
Wesley Crusher wields aportable tractor beam generator,
presumably to pull himself outof plot holes.
They actually wrote that on theon the ad.
Isn't that hilarious?
(49:33):
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Gaynan uh comes with bartendingwisdom included.
Dr.
Beverly Crusher comes withmedical gear.
Um, and Geordia the Forge comeswith a tricorder and an

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
