Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Welcome to the Geek Therapy radio podcast. I must confess
something right now, admit something right now that you know
I've been recording these recent episodes. You can tell kind
of by the sound quality. You know, what I'm recording
with right now versus sitting at my desk in the
studio in the Geek Cave with my nice microphones and
nice signal chain and all that kind of good stuff.

(00:30):
Versus me recording here right now with my DGI Mike two,
which sounds great, but I'm in the car and I
have to apply some noise reduction in Da Vinci Resolve
is where I edit these podcasts, and the noise reduction
and Da Vinci Resolve is better than the built in
noise reduction of the DGI Mike two. Not that the
DJI Mike two has bad noise reduction, it does not.

(00:50):
It has great noise reduction for on the go and
if it's the only noise reduction you have available to you.
But yeah, so I've been recording these episodes recently, mostly
on this DJI mike too. And the confession is that
I probably have two or three episodes recorded into the
internal memory of this microphone that I just haven't uploaded

(01:14):
because what happens is I drop off my son here
at daycare. I turn on this microphone every once in
a while and I record a podcast and I think, great,
I'm just gonna link this up to my computer, plug
it into my computer later on, and upload the episode.
But then the day happens and things get lost in
the shuffle, and I forget. Life goes on, and by

(01:38):
the end of the day are usually what happens is
a few days later, I'm just like, dang it, I
forgot to upload that episode. What I talked about in
the episode is not relevant anymore, or whatever the case is,
and it's kind of frustrating. So we'll see if I
really hope that I upload this episode. Because a bit's
happened and I just wanted to check in with y'all.

(02:00):
I realized I haven't uploaded an episode in probably a
couple weeks. Granted it's the holiday break here in the
United States. We just had Thanksgiving, and I think I'll
start there. Last week as of recording, was Thanksgiving twenty
twenty four, which is crazy because twenty twenty five is
literally less than a month away as of recording. It's

(02:20):
like December third, right now. Anyways, Thanksgiving, I went up
to Kingwood, which is north of Houston. That's where my
mom lives, That's where I grew up. My goodness, welcome
to Houston traffic. Anyways. Oh, I gotta get over here,
part of me while I try to concentrate on driving. Anyways,

(02:43):
So yeah, Thanksgiving was a few days ago. I drove
up north side of Houston, which is Kingwood, where my
mom lives, and I realized, ay, I've never cooked a
turkey before. B I wouldn't have time to cook a
turkey when I get to my mom's house even if
I did. You know, we're holding two children, a four
year old and a six month old seven month old
at this point, and there's just not going to be

(03:06):
all that time of the day. We're going to arrive
in Kingwood, you know, one pm, and that's just there's
no time to prepare a turkey for a well, it
was a two pm dinner. That's a keynote here. So
we were planning on eating not a dinner, but we
were planning on eating our Thanksgiving meal at two pm.
That's what what happens when you're eating with mixed company.

(03:28):
Some of which have to leave early it gets dark,
and I can sympathize with this a little bit more
now is that it's kind of harder to see as
it gets dark. So you have Thanksgiving earlier in the day,
the meal earlier in the day, so people can get
where they're going to get safely. The other thing is vision,
you know, aside is that people are just shrinking throughout

(03:51):
the day and you don't want to be out on
the road Thanksgiving night with all the drunks and lunatics.
So that's another factor in all of this. So anyways,
we ate at two PM, and I knew that we'd
have to not only get to Kingwood with enough time
to cook something, but that we're also gonna eat at
two pm. So I turned Thanksgiving into steaks giving. I

(04:16):
bought a bunch like six nice juicy ribbis at I
think it was Kroger, and they were on sale because
they're trying to sell the turkey, and the steak is
on sale because I guess they know they're not going
to sell enough steak on Thanksgiving. Whatever. I got the
ribbis big bone in ribbies for they were less than

(04:36):
ten dollars a piece, which is an amazing deal, and
steak does not take that long to prepare. I bought
the steak the day before. I let us sit in
its marinade overnight, and I brought my portable charcoal grill
to my mom's house in Kingwood, also my charcoal chimney

(04:58):
which gets the coals going fast, and a personal fan
which I used to stoke the colls. Knowing that it's
kind of a low, low intensity meal to prep once
you get there, we get there at one pm. I
could have stakes ready by two pm. Sarah and my
mom are in the kitchen taking care of the sides,

(05:21):
and we're all good to go. So I cook the
steaks on my little portable charcoal grill. Everything went great.
The steaks were great. The interesting story here is that, well,
it's not interesting, it's just kind of any parent kind
of understands. Is that Marshall, my youngest, seventh month old,

(05:43):
he decided, Eh, I'm gonna be sick. So he got
real sick. He got a stomach bug. There was a
stomach book going around. And here's here's the final toll.
My mom had to change her outfit three times, my
wife had to change her outfit two times, and I
could not change my outfit. So Marshall puked on my

(06:06):
mom three times, Marshall puked on Sarah two times, and
then right at the end of the evening, right before
we left to go home, Marshall puked on me once
and I just had to sit there and wear the
puke with a badge of honor and drive home all
the way back to where we're from on the southwest
side of town, just covered in baby puke, which was fine.

(06:31):
And it made me realize something now that we're you know,
we're recording the stream of the podcast, it made me
realize that, you know, back before you have kids, you
kind of wonder how am I gonna do with kids?
Like the puke. I'm squeamish about puke and bodily fluids
and all that kind of stuff. When you have kids,
something happens biologically, something happens mentally also in your brain

(06:55):
that you stop. You just don't care about that kind
of stuff. Oh gosh, you just start caring about that
kind of stuff. Sorry, I had to make sure that
I've avoided somebody here in traffic. You don't care about
the bodily fluids. It doesn't not that you don't care
about it just doesn't affect you. Like growing up and

(07:19):
before you have kids, the idea of getting puked on
kind of makes you gag, like, oh gross, I can't
deal with that. That is just nothing that I want
any part of. But after you have kids, like I said,
it switches something biologically within you that you get puked on.
It's it's kind of whatever. It's it. It's not gross

(07:40):
like that gag factor isn't there. At least it's not
there in that moment you get puked on and just like, okay,
well clean it up and you're you're The thing is
I believe, I mean, this is not just I believe.
I think this is just the case. Universal is that
you care more about the child. You care more about,
especially your kid, when you get puked on. It's like,
oh no, I will. I want to do everything I

(08:01):
can to take care of my son here. I feel
bad that he feels bad. I want to make sure
he's okay. I want to clean up and make sure
that everyone's happy and healthy and get them feeling better
as soon as possible. So the fact that you got
puked on is kind of not not a factor in
this whole equation If this makes sense. If that makes sense,

(08:23):
I know any parent listening. Maybe there's some parents let
me know. Email me Johnny at geek theairp Radio dot com.
J o h n n y at geek Therepy Radio
dot com. Are you still squeamish about spit up and
puke and things like that as a parent, As a
parent when your kid pukes? Do you do you still
have a gag reflex? Is that still really gross you out?

(08:44):
Do you still want no part of it? I mean,
is it really really super duper cringe? Or are you
like me and that you grew up with it being
super cringe? You were worried about how you would handle
all that kind of stuff and the poop and the
pea and all that kind of stuff. Before you have kids,
you're worried about how you're going to handle all that,
and then you become a parent and it's not it's

(09:07):
not a factor. Like I don't know how else to
explain it. It's just kind of not a factor anymore.
Or are you the does it still bother you? That's
what I want you to email me about if you
are so inclined, Johnny jhn n y at geek Therapy
radio dot com. Are you a parent? And does puke
and poop and pee and all that kind of stuff
still still gross you out? So for me, it doesn't.

(09:31):
I grew up thinking it would gross me out, worried
that all this kind of stuff would gross me out.
But it just doesn't gross me out. Something switched to
my brain. That's the other So my past the past
few days. So Marshall got sick on Thanksgiving, and then
since there's a stomach bug going around, Riker got sick,

(09:51):
and Riker's puke, a four year old's puke is way
different than a baby's puke than an infant's puke, and
infants puke is just spit up up of the milk
or the formula that they just strank, so it's really
not too terribly gross. A four year old's puke might
as well be, you know, a college a twenty one

(10:13):
year old having a bender one night, going to a
college party something like that, and puking up all the
water burger and McDonald's and pizza and whatever they ate
throughout the day, along with all the beer. Like it's
it's different. A four year old's puke might as well
be a frat, a frat ross puke. Riker woke up
at two am the next morning after thanks seven years

(10:35):
the day after, just covering in puke. Just I'm all
going to the details, but it was. It was in technicolor,
and it was all over the sheets and all over himself.
And I was up that day from two am to
midnight the next day just laying with Riker all day
on the couch, just bringing the bowl to him as
he needed the puce pukin all day puking and poop

(10:57):
and all I was a dad. I didn't feel that
was one of the days that I felt the most
like a father ever, was staying up all day, all night,
all day, all morning with my son and just holding
a bottle, holding the bowl while he puked. And I said,

(11:18):
this is this is the daddy times, this is this
is when I feel kind of I mentioned on Facebook
that in a strange way, it was it was a
privilege to to do that. It was almost like a
privilege to be covered in all of the puke. Because
my gosh, I hate this intersection. I'm just gonna go

(11:41):
straight through it and see what happens. It's kind of
a privilege becoming covered in puke because it's people you love,
you know, I love my kids, and I'm the one
that's that's there to comfort them. I'm I'm present, I'm
a present father. It makes me, it made my heart
feel good. I was very tired, very covered in puke,
very dealing with with doo doo all day long from

(12:04):
all children. Then I mentioned that Sarah got sick also,
so I was the only one in the house that
was healthy. And again, you know, Sarah's like, I'm so
sorry I got sick and this and that and whatever.
I was like, I'm just thankful that I am healthy
so that I can take care of all of you,
because if we were all sick, it would be absolute

(12:27):
chaos and misery. It would be horrible. So I'm just
thankful that I'm healthy. And I have yet knock on wood,
knock on the leather steering wheel, I have yet to
get the stomach bug. I feel like at this point,
you know, says my whole family went down with it
and I did not get it, and I have not
gotten it yet. I kind of feel there's no way

(12:48):
to equate, you know, getting a stomach a twenty four
hour stomach bug to going to war or whatever. But
the analogy in my mind is like we were all
hunkered down and foxhole and every so me and four
other dudes are hunkered down in a foxhole World War two,
and every time one of us gets up to run

(13:09):
out there, we just get we get. You know, we're
a casualty. So one person gets up casualty, second person
gets up cashualty. And I'm sitting there just like watching
three people go down with this illness, with this injury.
And so I'm like, all right, sometime I got to
come out of the trench. And it's good of e me.
So that's where I'm at right now. Hopefully I don't

(13:31):
get the bug. Sarah and I joked about it last
night that I somehow miraculously haven't got the bug, or
haven't got the bug yet. And if I don't get
this stomach bug, it's just because I've trained my stomach
so well with all the crap that I eat that
I probably caught the virus. And my body's like, ish,
ain't ish. You know, this little bug. I eat turkey

(13:55):
out of a container with a questionable expiration date. This
little virus ain't nothing. That's what I picture my stomach
saying the reality is nobody's immune to it. But maybe
if someone, if someone was had a higher tolerance, had
a higher resistance to it, that's a much better word.
It'd probably be me. Because I'll smell some cheese that
smells like a little bit funky, I'm like, eh, I'll

(14:17):
put it in my soup, see what happens. Or I'll
smell milk that's just a little teeny tiny bit salur
and then it's like, yeah, it'll taste better once I
put chocolate syrup in there. So like body is already
like been working out towards dealing with stuff that just
needs to get in and out of my body efficiently

(14:39):
without making me sick, without taking me out. So maybe
that's a little bit of what's going on with my
body here, you know. And I say that the next day,
you know, tomorrow, today, this evening, I could go down
with it. And watching how Sarah went down with it,
it's a nasty one and I do not look forward
to it. I'm staying hydrated, I'm eating everything that I

(15:02):
can right now because I'm just planning on going a
day or two without eating anything. My kids couldn't keep
anything down for like twenty four hours straight. You know,
Riker would puke and then I would immediately say, take
some SIPs of water, like I want something to absorb
into you before the next round of pew. Was puking
like every twenty minutes. So he'd p you can take

(15:23):
some SIPs of water. I need you to stay stay
hydrated when you can, because it's all coming up again.
I want something to get into your system and keep
you hydrated. Anyways, let's talk about some geek news. That
was just kind of what's been going on in my
life for the past few days. So I've been on

(15:45):
this this kick to find to It's gonna sound weird.
I'm trying to reduce the amount of computers I have,
which sounds weird for a geek to say. You're, you know,
just trying to add more at just collect lifelaptops and
things like that. That's not I ordered a snap Dragon
laptop Windows on Arm laptop Black Friday, Cyber Monday, all

(16:10):
these specials. Amazon had a great deal on it. I
think it was like seven hundred dollars for a Snapdragon
x plus. Now the ex Elite is the top tier processor.
But I said, you know, I'm not trying to spend
over one thousand dollars for an unproven platform, And as
of December twenty twenty four, it's gotten way better. Drivers

(16:33):
have gotten way better. It's like using the Windows day
to day is the same experience as you're seeing it
anywhere else. It's just my I got a Samsung Galaxy
Book four fifteen inch and the battery life there is
rated for like twenty seven hours. Darn near thirty hours.
I've been running Da Vinci Resolve on it. For the

(16:53):
most part, it runs awesomely. There are a little bit
of glitches because we're maybe one or two driver downloads
into snap Dragon support or da Vincially Resolve having support
for snap Dragon, so they're still a little bit, but
you can still get stuff done. It's a sixteen gigabyte laptop.
Laptop Editing ten ADP is new problem. Even editing four

(17:19):
K is very very doable, and that's kind of what
I was going for. It's like, you know, I want
a laptop that does everything. I don't need to have
it be the fastest. It doesn't need to have like,
you know, sixty four gigs of RAM and a big drive.
I want an all day battery life and something that
could edits here and there on the go, versus a

(17:40):
laptop where you have no battery life and you can
edit like a like a dream. You know. I've still
got my twenty twenty one Zephyrs G fourteen with an
RTX thirty sixty and forty gigabytes of RAM, and that
thing is a beast mode. But you can edit maybe
for an hour on there. I could edit four K
footage maybe for an hour and a half before the
battery dies. I said, I want a laptop that is

(18:02):
just going to last at least all day. My MacBook
Pro sixteen inch edit you can edit for several hours.
I get say, probably four or five hours solid editing
of four K footage and low power mode like super
efficiency mode. You can edit on that a good deal
amount of time, and then you can do lighter tasks

(18:22):
all day long. I think, what is it battery life
on a M one MacBook Pro sixteen inches, something like
fifteen sixteen hours something like that. Great battery life. The
only issue with the MacBook Pro sixteen inch, and another
factor into my kind of reducing my load here is wait,
the MacBook Pro sixteen inch is awesome. But after I

(18:45):
get my everyday carry my backpack all loaded up, it's heavy.
It's a heavy laptop. It's not, you know, a super
It's not an anvil in my backpack. But there are
way lighter laptops. The fifteen inch Samsung Galaxy Boo four
it's like two and a half pounds if that. It
weighs nothing. It is a featherweight battery live darn near

(19:08):
thirty hours it Edits like a champ on the go.
Here's what I'm waiting for though, with Snapdragon, because another
part of the puzzle is that I wanted to invest
in this new technology. I don't mean to invest like stocks,
like I want to make some profit off of this,
but I mean it was the same thing when Apple
came out with the M chips, the M one. I

(19:28):
immediately bought a MacBook Pro thirteen inch M one MacBook
Pro thirteen inch, just because I wanted to be on
the ground floor of this seismic shift in computer technology.
And it was. It was great, and I will equate
it this way Snapdragon Windows on ARM So Snapdragon x
Elite X plus chips, We're in the same place right

(19:53):
now with that technology as Apple M one was when
it first launched, So there's a whole lot of emulation
going on. In Apple it was called Rosetta. On Windows.
What is it called, Oh gosh, I think it's called Prism.
Is the emulation layer on ARM processors that that emulate
x eighty six instruction sets. So I remember that. I

(20:21):
don't think Da Vinci resolved for M one when it
first launched. I don't think it was native at launch
of the M one MacBook Pro, but it came very quickly,
and the same thing with Snapdragon Windows on Arm using
snap Dragon chip chips. DA Vinci Resolve is native on
Arm right now. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have glitches.
There are certainly some glitches. For instance, you know, I'm

(20:44):
loading up text that have some animation on there, fade in,
fade out kind of texts that move across the screen.
There's a little bit of glitching going on. I exported
a video and it had a bit of you know,
some I don't know how to call how to call it.
It's just a glitch with with some of the text
you can still read it, but right at the end
of the animation has this like purple rectangle around the

(21:05):
area of the text, but that will get sorted out.
I have not tried the newest update as a recording.
It's like da Vinci nineteen one point davinc nineteen point
one point one, something like that. I don't know if
there's any optimizations. I look through the what's you know
what this firmware new update includes, not firm more update,

(21:25):
but with this new update includes and it didn't mention
anything about, you know, more optimization for snap Dragon chips.
But it's not to say it's not in there. I
just haven't tested out yet what I'm waiting for. And
why have not thrown the baby out with the bathwater,
because it's mostly great. Mostly the experience on Snapdragon is
is great. We need more driver support and it was

(21:47):
the same thing with Apple M one chips in a
first release. As we go through time, there's going to
be more updates, more Windows updates, more Da Vinci Resolve updates,
more audio driver updates, which I'll get to in a moment.
It will get better, just like it did with M one.
We are very early on. We're less than a year
into into Snapdragon. Windows on ARM laptops. Windows on ARM

(22:11):
laptops have been around for a few years, and they've
really I mean, they've honestly sucked. But this is the
first kind of M one rival at Apple's ARM architecture
rival in the Windows laptop space, and I'd say it
has launched with flying colors. I mean for somebody who's
just using their laptop to you know, type on Microsoft

(22:34):
Word and watch Netflix and kind of do basic office
tasks and this and that, and even light gaming. Light
gaming is possible on the Snapdragon. I played Doom on
my Snapdragon x plus. Remember my laptop is not an
ex Eleite, it's not the most powerful chip. It is
an eight core CPU Snapdragon x plus. So Snapdragon x

(22:56):
plus has eight cores, or you can step up to
another SKEW that has ten, and then the x Elite
has twelve cores. Mine is the bottom of the barrel
ex Elite. Sorry, mine is the bottom of the barrel
x plus Snapdragon x plus because that's all I was
willing to invest in. And it's great. Playing Doom at
ten eighty I was getting like thirty frames a second,
but then I dropped it down to twelve eighty seven

(23:18):
to twenty and I was getting six over sixty frames
per second, very playable. It's very playable at any rate.
Ten eighty. I probably could have got sixty if I
went into the settings and optimized the graphics quality a bit.
But the point that you can game at all on
a basic, bare bones base model X plus chip is amazing. Again.

(23:40):
I didn't get this computer to be some baller gaming rig.
I got it to, hey, can I play some games?
Plays retro arch like a freaking champ GameCube and we
and all that kind of stuff. Emulation is great, PS
two emulation is great. You can even play Doom. You
can play modern titles. I can't play Microsoft Flight Simulator
twenty two twenty. I was gonna say twenty twenty four.

(24:02):
I have not bought twenty twenty four yet. I'm waiting
for the bugs to be worked out of that. I
can't play Microsoft Live Simulator twenty twenty on it. It
gives me the little warning, Hey, your system doesn't have
it is not doesn't have the minimum specs to play
this game, so your experience might suffer a bit, and
you click okay. Usually that's fine. I mean, it says

(24:23):
the same thing on my rog Ally it says, hey,
you've only got sixteen gigs a RAM and this graphics
card in here. It's you don't have you don't meet
the minimum specs. We're gonna let you play it. But
here's just the heads up. Hey, we don't guarantee you're
gonna have a great experience. You click through it and
you wind up. I do have a great experience. I
limit my frame rates, I drop the resolution down whatever,

(24:44):
rendering and scaling and all, and I can get it
to play just fine on the rog ally and other
sixteen gigabyte laptops. Can't get it to work on xplus chip.
And I don't know exactly what that's about. It could
just it's a driver issue. I mean, I straight up,
I just I think it's a driver issue. I don't
think it's going through prism emulation perfectly yet. It's all drivers.

(25:06):
I'll move on here to audio drivers, because obviously for me,
that is a very important part of my day to
day life is recording audio, recording voiceovers for the museum,
recording podcast for the museum, recording podcasts for Geek there,
for radio. I use audio drivers all the time. So

(25:27):
my interface, my signal chain involves Azo drivers, Asio drivers
and Asio drivers for Windows on arm right now. Snapdragon
processors is trash. It's unusable. For instance, you know I
have my task gam Us twenty by twenty whatever. The

(25:49):
drivers are incompatible. You can download, you can install them,
install the software interface where you can adjust things like
sample rate and latency and all that kind of stuff,
and we'll tell you whether or not a device is connected.
It tells you all the stats for whatever gear you
have connected. Download the drivers and I'll hear audio coming

(26:09):
out of the speakers connected to the taskcam, but the
software says device is not connected. I can't change anything.
I can't alter anything. When I go into Reaper, there's
no inputs or outputs available, even though I'm hearing. It's
reverting to some base level driver to get audio out
of the computer through the taskcam through my studio monitors.

(26:30):
But the driver it's just a mess. It's a mess,
and I can't access any of my inputs or outputs
within the software. Using the Azio driver and using the
direct Sound or w whatever Windows based with Sappy drivers,
I can get some audio coming out of my microphone

(26:51):
going into the computer, but there's pops. He goes click click,
It's almost like a metronome. Click click, it's not usable.
You can't have clicks and glitches in your audio when
you're recording. So I have read that we're getting a
little bit into the weeds here of audio drivers, that
there was like a Qualcomm what was it. There's a

(27:14):
convention in the past few months where Qualcomm and like
Roland and other audio gear focus right whatever had this conference,
and basically I don't know know all the details, but
it all sums up to this is that these audio
manufacturers are working very closely with Snapdragon to there are

(27:35):
more drivers coming in the future, specifically a much better
Azo driver Asio driver coming for Windows on arm laptops,
and that's what I'm waiting for. And that's kind of
one of the fun of getting in on the ground
floor of this kind of new technology is that it's
really cool to see something that you purchase to become

(27:57):
better and better over time. It happened with Apple em chain,
it continues to happen, happen with Apple m chips, and
every time it's it's like a little present. Every time
there's a driver update and you all of a sudden
your stuff works again. It's like it's just this little gift.
So you know, twenty seven hours of battery life, I
can record all day long, I can go through all
my interfaces just like a traditional x eighty six processor.

(28:23):
No change there. The other thing I'm waiting for, and
this has been alluded to, but there's some wishy washy
on it because apparently in Nvidia is working on their
own Windows on ARM chips to go against snap I
think it's Media Tech, and in Nvidia ninety nine point
nine percent certain that that's the case. It's it's Media
Tech and Nvidia are teaming up to have their own

(28:45):
Windows on ARM chip to challenge Qualcoms Snapdragon x plus
an ex elite. So what I'm getting at here is
my laptop Snapdragon x plus EGPU support going out to
a graphics card and an external enclosure over Thunderbolt four
because the laptop has thunder Bolt four. But there are

(29:06):
no Nvidia drivers yet for qual Com Snapdragon laptops. Theoretically
those should be coming soon. It has been rumored and
whispered that yeah, we're Snapdragon laptops will support egpus over
Thunderbolt four, just like anything else. It's not we don't
have it yet. And now the question is since Nvidia

(29:27):
is in bed with Media Tech to come out with
their own qual Com snap Dragon competitor. Will Innvidia release
drivers for Qualcomm chip sets. That's a fifty to fifty Actually,
I would say it's like a sixty forty. I'd say
it's sixty percent in favor of Nvidia not doing it.
But at the same time, man such a niche market.

(29:50):
Connecting to egpus is still niche, and I hope it
happens because if I get the audio drivers all sussed out,
and I get the EGPU drivers, I'll suss out and
I have a laptop, think it's twenty seven hours of
batter life edits like a champ, and then I can
come home and plug it right into my RTX thirty
ninety with its twenty four gigs of v RAM and

(30:10):
editing four K all day long, awesome. EGPU is for gaming,
You're gonna suffer a lot of losses. But what I'm
after for video editing is that VRAM. That twenty four
gigs of VRAM absolutely slays. I have other laptops that
you can use over Thunderbolt for use it EGPU Thunderbolt
for and they absolutely murder at video editing. So that's

(30:33):
what I'm looking for. I'm looking to reduce and I'm
gonna sell off my other laptops that I don't need.
I'll keep my Mac, but I'll sell as many other
computers as I don't need. I just want one that
I can take around with me and then plug into
the Thunderbolt and have my EGPU and be able to
edit on the go and then edit like just slay
at editing when I come home, like do the big
jobs really get into the meat potatoes of an edit

(30:54):
when I get home. Also with the ability to edit
all day long for twenty hours plus out in the
field as I as part of my EDC. So that's right, Matt,
I got to go into work now. Please Johnny upload
