(00:21):
Ladies and gentlemen. Justice Scotch pastthe top of the hour. Good morning,
once again, welcome. You're listeningto Texas Overnight on the Texas State
Network. One of the best keptsecrets in Texas Tark Radio. I'm your
friendly, unobtrusive voice that suburban everseen Charlie Jones. Good day have you,
Calpis, We come to you liveHia top the CBS radio tower,
And no kidding, it's a realplace in lovely suburban Dallas, Texas,
(00:43):
in the home of the Texas Republic. So there you have that. My
guest tonight is a gentleman that joinsme on the third Thursday of every month
of rainer shine. Although I'm luckyto have him tonight because he was supposed
to be in the wilds of theAmish country in Wisconsin somewhere, probably with
the Wisconsin the Amish Mafia. Buthe's he's Ohio man, that skyever man.
They're burning down wiscons on the nextYankee territory codor don't burn down things
(01:04):
all right, mister McWilliams. Goodto have you back, sir Yes,
also known as the Evil Guy.Oh yeah, the Perubia Mobile concert.
Here we got a ton of stuffto talk about, and you know,
Nick, there's there's so much newsbreaking out there. I'm okay, let's
let's start with this. I'm lookingat my humble tebow the other day,
got the programming grid up, andI'm looking for VH one. It's not
(01:26):
there. What I do see isMTV Classic in his place. What happened,
Well, funny thing happened. RememberMTV used to stand for Music Television.
Yes, and somewhere down the waythey say, oh, we don't
want to do music no more,and that's not profitable. It'll cost too
much to big videos. Yeah again, and they went onto the stupid stuff.
Yeah, was it fop style stuffand all that people Labam and Jackass
and all these other shows, stuffthat people can get with fewer commercials and
(01:48):
in better reception on their phones andon their care yeah, laptops. Well,
come to find out, here comesthe thirty fifth anniversary of the launch
of MTV. Back on August first, and very quietly, VH one Class
six went there, normal broadcast day, and all of a sudden, I
forget what the last song was played, but it was a music video,
and they just went away and theycame on at midnight Eastern time, has
(02:13):
MTV Classics. So vhe signed off, signed off for good. They're gone.
VH one itself is still their VHone Classics is gone and I can't
watch it because it's in the nexttier up of course, so I didn't
get to see it. But nowit became MTV Classics. And what they're
doing is they're showing old school videos. Now what's driving this, well,
(02:34):
a lot of things. A hugechange of heart here. Yeah, Well,
first off, they're losing a lotof people because the videos are gone.
A lot of people don't realize thatthere's yeah, and a lot of
people think, oh, well,nobody's making videos anymore. Well they are.
And if you go to YouTube,you can see all the old stuff
that you grew up with. It'sjust like, you know, being back
in high school again. And ofcourse these new artists are making videos and
(02:59):
you get to see that. Andthen not only is YouTube out there,
but Vivo is another group that's mostlyall of the artists from the record labels
themselves Right kind of Control, andyou'll find a significant amount of that on
YouTube. Yeah, and then theguy that did Blurred Lines, Robin Thick
that was one of the big popularsin of course, all of the major
artists are up there. And thenI was seeing a thing in the news
(03:21):
today, So we put this littlevideo montage together and something was made perfectly
clear. When you go to YouTubeand you look at their stats, over
two million users are watching music videoson a daily basis, on a daily
basis, and they've got that kindof bandwidth and that kind of reach.
Yeah, so now you have allthese eyes over here and all this traffic,
(03:43):
and MTV looks over say, hey, wait a minute, I thought
v music video was dead. What'sgoing on over YouTube? What's going on
over Vivo? What's going on here? Why aren't these people over here not
the first organization to have a greatidea and to jump ship in the middle
of things. Right now, youalso have to look at thirty five years
on now. The people that werein high school at the time myself included
sure when VH one first signed on, are now in their fifties and they
(04:06):
have a little more spending money.And so to get those people back to
MTV classics and go, hey,nostalgia, come on over. It's like
high school all over again, exceptnow you can afford the jag and come
over there, and you know theyso your ads and do stuff anything.
They're bringing back a lot of theold shows like one hundred and twenty minutes,
House of Style, anything that wasfrom the eighties to nineties. They're
(04:30):
pretty much peppering across. My sonworked I've been a very nice college dive
bar for about four years. AndI asked him what what what lived on
the jukebox? A dad us alleighty stuff. Oh, he said,
a's up to the very early nineties. That's all that gets played. And
I was looking and thinking, well, man, I never thought about MTV.
I just realized that YouTube was itwas beautifully positioned. One thing I
love about YouTube and you know cheapconfessional here I can. I can sit
(04:55):
down with YouTube. Well, I'mdoing some of the work and have the
same the same freedom that I hadin the Zoo Air studio that if I
want to hear something from some startingalbum, they've got it, yeah,
and I can hear it. AndI found obscure stuff because I used to
do I did research for a Britishshow and I would find stuff from the
sixties acts that played overseas but didn'tmake it into the States, and you'll
(05:15):
find somebody has a forty five andthey'll record it and put it up there.
The guy that likes to put iton the turntable and put the little
leader on and watch it like you'reright there or real to real. And
you see a lot of that too, and people that are in that age
bracket, the baby boomers, cango back and listen to that stuff and
even find new stuff that maybe didn'tcome here. So here's here's MTV.
Their first tune was Video Killed theRadio Star Bugles of the Bugles, Andrew
(05:38):
became Oh and by the way,mister Moments of Love, I've been monitoring
your transmissions. And Dwayne Eddie,yes, that is Peter Gun of course,
that is the Art of Noise,which the group that made the Buggles
broke off and reformed and made theirArt of Noise, and add An Dudley,
which is the female that is inthe group. She went off to
(05:59):
become a OSCAR winning composer and herfirst song that won an Oscar was the
soundtrack for the Full Monty. Shecomposed the whole score. I can't tell
you how difficult it is. Igot a call one night from somebody who
wanted to hear that tune that's inthat Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. And I thought,
what turns out it's Moments in Love. Yeah, and it's on his
Stay Hungry. The Oasis used toplay that. Sure that, but let's
(06:21):
call him. But when when somebodywants to hear something on a jazz station
that's from a Schwarzenegger film, yougo, what are they talking about?
And she couldn't have told me momentsin Love if your life depended on the
Moments in Love. Baby, let'sgo shoot the town anyway. Okay,
folks listening to the tech show here, you know one thing that that got
me. You were telling me thatthe HTC ten has become an orphan.
Now this is a marvelous phone.Yes, and I've been an HTC fan
(06:44):
for a long time, beautiful fan. I thought I thought T Mobile had
picked him up. T Mobile didpick him up. I'm not sure if
AT ANDT did or not. Theystill have two lower nhtcs they keep in
their in their arts. HTC hasgreat sound and then their cameras are outstanding.
I went back to HTC and whata lot of people don't realize is
you kind of that whole dance withthe one that brung you? Sure?
The very first Android phone was theG one, which was sold by T
(07:08):
Mobile that was all built by HTC. HTC started Android, and I went
back to HTC after having just ahorrible time with the LG that I had.
So what do you think when youwent back to them? I love
them, I've been through. Whatis T Mobile's problem? Well, I
think it's a lot of things.First off, when you look at the
ten, the ten's available for saleon its own, it's six ninety nine
(07:30):
with thirty two gigabytes on board.And yeah, but if you're all ready
an HTC user and you show proofthat you own one, they'll knock one
hundred dollars off right off the bat. That's something. Yeah, you just
tell them what the serial number is. They go, yep, your user,
bam, one hundred dollars off.But then what's nice about it is
they come unlocked, they're not tiedto a service. They come with no
blowwear. Wait a minute, everyphone comes as blowwear, not when you
(07:54):
buy it from HTC. No kidding. Yeah, so now you're getting a
phone, it's thirty two gigabytes youget thirty two gobytes wear. Your phone
is unlocked. You don't have togo back to your carry and go Please
say, would you inLove my phone? You know you don't have to do
that and get and they got,well, I don't know, it's already
unlocked. Put whatever card you wanted. If you go overseas and go,
you know, to Jamaica or someplaceyou want to go, get a prepaid
(08:16):
phone. Yeah, just take aprepaid SIMP put it in your HTC.
Ten bam, you got a Jamaicanumber. How do you like that on
I phone? This actually user friendly? And then they took their bloatwear and
they said, we're not going toput it on here. But if you
want it, all you gotta dois go into the Android market, pull
up HTC and you can download anythingyou want of ours and put it in
the phone and customer oh man ala card. Yeah, programming for your
(08:37):
phone. Why is this news?Because why wasn't it. I can't tell
you how much stuff that I've hadto figure out to take off the AT
and T phones I've had because Inever use it. I don't need it.
Yeah, a lot of it.You can, whether it's att or
whoever the carriers you can't take offtheir staff. That's one thing I liked
about my Nokia ten twenty. Icould all but the stuff that the AT
(08:58):
and T just couldn't bear to partwith. Although us it was raceable.
I raised every bit of it.It was great. Yeah, and I've
never missed it. And I hadan unlocked HTC. Yeah, and I
had sixteen gigabytes on it. MySIM thing broke where it wouldn't hold the
SIM in place. Ye, SoI scrambled down to a T and T
and got another desire, which wasa neural one that had sixteen eight of
it's taken up by bloatwear. Whatis the point? Yeah, I don't
(09:20):
want to. I mean, ifI want it, I should be able
to go up and down and say, hey, we got this stuff,
come download it, don't put iton my phone. What they're thinking is,
well, we've got a got anSD card in there, have a
big thing. I have a niceday. Yeah. Nothing drives me nuts
when you call up the company,whether it AT and T, Verizon,
whatever, and they go, well, you know you should download or app
it allow you to pay you abill online. I don't care it takes
(09:41):
up space. If I want yourapp, I'll go get it. Reminds
me of my last trip to radioshack before my friend the local radio shack
disappeared. And by the way,there's a rumor that game Stop is buying
a bunch of those whole radio shacks. Can we hit that in a minute?
Yeah? All right, ladies andgentlemen, Thursday is upon you.
The Tech show coming your way.If you've been looking for a cool mic
a phone at the house, it'saffordable for putting your own podcasts out.
(10:03):
We've got some suggestions for you.If you have a Chromebook, get this
Chromebook twos and I've got a listof them here. We'll have access to
all the Android apps before another coupleof months has gone by. So if
you've bought a Chrome Book in thelast year, the chances are good it'll
do Google Play and the Android Store. How about that. This is Texas
(10:24):
Overnight with Charlie Jones on News Radioten eight kr LD. When news happens
in North Texas or around the world, stay up to date with CBS and
News Radio ten eighty kr LD.Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and
(10:56):
welcome back. It's Texas overnight onthe Texas Day Network. If you're notice
on your probial calendar, it's thethird Thursday morning of the month, which
means time for mister Nick Williams tojoin us, which he has indeed done.
And Mick, I've been looking ata couple of things here. I'd
like to know what the story isabout the radio shack stores. I heard
that that GameStop was going to buythis and you say, no, they've
(11:16):
bought somebody else. Yeah. Ihad heard they're in the bankruptcy, that
GameStop was looking at acquiring some ofthe stores, and I never heard exactly
what happened to that, because thebig deal was with Sprint and a lot
of them are still surviving. Butthey're a combination Sprint and radio shack store.
Yeah, well that's my local storydown of these chases. That's that's
what they've done. Yeah, butthey don't know anything about radio, they
(11:39):
don't anything about electronics. And thereare those kids are there to sell cell
phones. Well, and you can'tknock them for that. That's what they
were hired. They hired him todo. Yeah, gone of the days
when you walk into a radio shack, neither you knew what you were talking
about, or they knew what you'retalking about, or if if you had
enough idea, they could finish yoursentence for you and sell you what you
needed. Well, it was sofunny they had that brand there for a
while, said that you have questions, we have answers, and used to
(12:03):
people used to make funs like youhave questions, we have dumb looks.
It was also two different things thatpeople used to bring on the end of
that ouch. But yeah, GameStop, what they're doing is, you know,
things have changed. Used to beyou went into a game store and
you had a physical piece of mediathat you could lay hands on, and
things are changing. Now you havegames that you buy in the cloud,
or you buy subscriptions and all ofthese things. And of course game Stop
(12:24):
is notorious for taking in used gamesand reselling them and everything, sir,
And that's a pretty good line togo, but it really doesn't support everything.
So what they're doing now is they'resaying, hey, we've got tablets
and phones that games are on,and there's merchandise that is accessorized that is
game type, whether it be Pokemonor whatever, that is designed for these
(12:46):
devices. So what they've done isthey've done a deal with AT and T
and they've gone in and bought atotal of five hundred and seven cricket and
AT and T wireless stores and bringingthem under them putting the game stuff.
Okay, why is AT and Tcontracting? And when I didn't know that
they AT and T sold cricket intheir stores, I thought that was a
(13:09):
big sequel. Well, this isn'tactual AT and T stores because you have
a T and T company stores,but you also have authorized resellers. And
what they're doing is they're buying authorizedresellers like Cellular World and several others across
the country, and those stores maybeyou're having issues because they're authorized resellers.
They sell primarily AT and tier.They might sell other things, and with
(13:30):
economy and everything, maybe they're havingto slim down and find new things to
do. And quite frankly, phonesare becoming a commodity just like computers.
And we'll talk about that later onbecause there's some funny, fascinating little things
going on in China I can tellyou about indeed. Okay, so we'll
get to that later. But yeah, this will give them a total of
about a little over fourteen, aboutone four hundred and twenty stores that are
(13:52):
going to compared to the lot stores. So now you can come into a
game stop. You can buy games, but you can also get games and
accessories for your pad or your phoneand bring it all in. Is a
one stop shop. And of courseI'm assuming they'll also say you the phones
if you have a contract, andwhatever else you need to do prepaid.
Yeah, they can make money.They make money off a little long day
off or prepaid if they wanted to, So that gives them more streams to
(14:13):
go through instead of just being dependentjust on that one game stream. Yeah,
and then still do the used productand trade ins and stuff like they're
known for it as well. That'llwork, and so they have enough business
to justify this year. I mean, this is a huge expansion. Yeah,
if you buy these stories, you'vegot to fill them up with a
product. I mean, because ifI see a game stop, I'll think,
(14:35):
you know, I used to playon the kids Nintendo sixty four,
like a double seven Goldeny or whatever. Maybe they've got to copy that.
Then you pop in, but they'regonna have to have inventory available, are
they not. Yeah, and thenthey have a huge inventory. I think
it's up a one eighty three asyou're going out past Ulis in toward Fort
Worth. They have a huge place. They're right about where one eighty three
(14:56):
and three sixty er together, andthat's their warehouse and world headquarters. And
so they've got plenty of square feetto have all of that stuff and be
able to distribute it to all thedifferent stories. It's pretty cool, so
plenty plenty of room to keep.So if this is underway, it'll take
effect win or it's already happening,and they'll be probably done by September or
so, and then you'll be ableto walk in and do all of these
(15:16):
all right, Well that'll work,okay, Folks at Triple eight two five,
six to night. If you havea tech question on whatever, we're
here to field your questions and makefun of you in general, and then
whatever else. I think one thingI wanted to throw out here just for
the heck of it. Um.Actually, I've been amazed at how will
(15:37):
Netflix is doing. Yes, andI am doing a tremendous amount. I've
been watching Longmeyer, I've been watching, uh, the bunch of stuff table
I've been watching watching is it's what'sit called Stranger Things. I hear people
talking about that on Facebook. Janelleand I. One of the guys that
watched it in Austin Listens to Mecalled it and recommended it during the movie
(15:58):
show two weeks ago. I think, and I thought, well, okay,
and he said, man, I'vebeen bening on. I watched.
I watched the whole thing, andon weekend I thought, wow, man,
uh, and it's it is reallyinteresting, it's really different. It's
it has it has a little bitof the X Files. There are places
where a mine abt and it's it'sit's sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's scary,
(16:21):
and it's it is. I'm amazedthat Netflix can can trot out stuff
like this that is just just theirproduct, just like the House of Cards.
Yeah, I'm good, old FrankUnderwood, man, how well.
I mean, I'm amazed how wellthey're doing and the idea, well A,
we're a cable channel, but wecan we can be a lot more
than that. It's fine to saythat. And I've enjoyed um, I've
(16:41):
enjoyed House of Cards, and Ialso enjoyed Marco Polo, which I just
got. They just completed their secondseason, and that's very good. And
what I've been getting into now isactually Last Man Standing, the Tim Allen
show that's on ABC. They've gotall of the seasons on Netflix, and
I never got to see the firstseason. I could watch it on Amazon,
(17:03):
but they want to charge me likea dollar ninety nine episode in the
whole first season. How expensive thatstuff on Amazon is? Yeah, stuff
that Netflix has for free. Amazonwants two dollars an episode, and if
you have a twenty four episode season, that's fifty dollars. Yeah. So
I've been watching the first season,which is about twenty three twenty four episodes,
and I'm almost done with it movingin the second because I came in
(17:23):
watching it regularly about the second orthird season. And then Hulu it's I
think it's on Friday nights and thenMonday. I'll watched her over the weekend
when it's on normally, and I'vebeen able to do that. I've been
able to the Blacklist. Person ofInterest is up there now except for the
last season, and you've seen alot of these shows now popping out.
I was surprised the CBS show wasactually on Netflix is I figured that was
(17:44):
something they would keep with access.I would think so too. Now they
have it there, but they're releasinga lot of that style of st there
might have signed the contract earlier.Folks, if you haven't seen Stranger Things,
it's about group of kids and thisis back in the eighties. They
got eighties cars, they got eightiestechnology, eighties music and what we were
just talking about, and the StrangerThings is capitalizing on this. Very nice
that they got telekinetic girl, IFace this monster and other worldly dimensions.
(18:07):
It sounds hockey, but it's welldone. And the eighties nature of the
kids. It it'll remind you ofan ET, but there's a bunch more
going on that the kids are wellcast. Well we get back. We
got to talk about a classic thatNetflix has that's also going to be on
DVD. That'll work Texas Overnight,the Tech Show third Thursday, we'll continue.
You're listening to Texas Overnight with CharlieJones on news Radio ten eight kr
(18:30):
LD. Okay, so two thingsregarding Stranger Things. You should know that
it only dropped July fifteenth, andit's got a tremendous amount of I'm not
sure what the story would be.I think attention would be a fair thing
to say. And you should alsoknow that Netflix has not announced a second
(18:52):
season for sure, but I'm almostcertain we're going to see it. It's
it has a little bit of somethingfor everybody. And you had you had
a particular Netflix item too, didn'tyou. Yeah, Call Check the Night
Stocker, the series that was onI think it was on ABC, yeah,
back in the day. Yeah,twenty episodes and then they used to
run it on CBS Late Night Movie. Yes, sir, the Letterman came
(19:12):
over and call check is now Ithink it was on Sci Fi for a
while, chopped up, just justbrutalized with commercials, and so now it's
on Netflix and it's been streaming fora while. But then I guess it's
been doing so good on Netflix.They've decided a universal home video. They
had come out with it about tenyears ago on DVD and then they stopped
(19:34):
making it, and if you tryto find a copy it is like three
to five times over the price youwould have normally paid. How many seasons
were there one twenty episodes, Manand and folks, if you've never seen
col check Darren McGavin, who alsodidn't play my camera one time. Uh
No, but he was the fatherin Christmas story. Here we go and
all sorts of he looks like MattDrudge gets they cut the pork pie hand
(19:56):
on the reporter coat and a typewriter. He exactly a Drudge chlone. But
you can see, you can seevibes of it, and what a great
guy. And so so they've decidedthey now they have a winner. They're
gonna take it back because you're tellingme, they're gonna maybe gonna put it
on DVD in October, and UniversalHome Video is gonna have it for sale
for the complete series. How doyou like that? Yeah? And now
I'm gonna have to go up thisweekend and start having a little cold check
(20:18):
binge. Anyway, Okay, subjectof beinging something you should know if you've
been, if you've been thinking abouta Chromebook two. I took the plunge
here. It's been a couple ofthree or four months ago, maybe three
months, and I gotta tell you, I have a laptop that doesn't get
hot, doesn't have a fan,a charge last seven hours, even with
(20:38):
multiple tabs open. It has beenjust terrific. And I ran across something
that's completely amazing. Um. Googleis announced that they that they made changes
to the Chromos a year ago toenable all the chromebooks sold in about the
last year. And I were talkingto the Chromebook two here to run Android
apps from the Google Play Store.Yeah, now this is a big deal.
(21:00):
And they say that this eligibility capabilitywill it'll be part of an update
that hits the eligible chonebooks later thisyear. And I've got something I'm gonna
stick on the Facebook page. It'sall the chonebook os systems that support the
Android apps. It's as Or,it's a SOUS, it's a CD I,
CTL, Dell, Um, Googleof course, uh Lenova, and
(21:21):
in my case, it'll be aToshiba, also a Samsung, and uh
just just a whole bunch of them. And try to imagine all that Google
Play Store stuff and Android capability allin one box. And it's a box
that is not subject to the usualkind of foo fall that that requires any
virus in any malware, because there'sjust not enough of the there's there's no
(21:45):
there's not enough there there for theviruses to attack for the most part.
Well, I was reading an articleabout this app that I've been trying to
test, and I don't want totalk about it yet because I haven't gotten
a firm your name, okay,But what was funny about it was they
said, well, you click onthis little thing and Chrome and it'll take
you to a place where you cango get it. Well, you click
it on, and they have allof these apps that you can download into
(22:08):
the Chrome browser. And I'm runningWindows ten, I'm not running Chromos,
and this particular thing I was lookingfor was in there, and I pulled
it down, plugged it in,and it works with coating in your web
brows. So you're running Chromos onyour Windows ten Chrome Chrome browser and you're
(22:29):
able to download this stuff and stickit into that despite the fact there's wind
tens and all these different things,and you just pick them and they become
part like a plug in or somethinginto your Chrome browser. Man, that
sounds great, Yeah, And Ithought that was really neat. And then
now I hear about this whole thingwith Google Play, and that's kind of
sounding like what I'm doing. Butthen I'm only on the ten side.
(22:51):
But I've been pretty impressed with whatChrome has been doing in the background and
being able to pull these things downand plug them in. Tell you something.
I'm playing with it. I'm nottalking about yet. I've run across
a it's a I guess we couldcall it an app that's been advanced in
Britain. You have a decent microphoneconnected to your laptop or to your Chromebook,
(23:11):
whatever you're using, and it usesthe Chrome browser as an interface and
then sends a packeted encoded voice trailto another computer and you can have this
conversation perfectly miked. It sounds likeyou're both in the same studio and you're
using your browser as the interface.It's amazing. This is Texas Overnight with
(23:33):
Charlie Jones on News Radio ten eightkr LD. When you wake up tomorrow
morning, get breaking overnight news firston news Radio ten eight kr LD overnight
(24:07):
time at forty one after the hour, make your time me something about the
I've ready made spreadsheets. What I'vealready made spreadsheets? They're my friends.
Okay, why do you need readymade spreadsheets? Well, here's the deal.
I took Excel course in Eastfield becauseone of my arch nemesis is PowerPoint
and Excel. And once I tookit, I realized how easy it was
is great, but there are timeswhen you want to have something, you
(24:30):
want to crunch numbers, but youdon't know where to begin building your own
spreadsheet. I just so, Ijust got my house paid off back in
June outstanding. Yeah, so Ihave zero balance on the house. But
I wanted to create an escrow account, and I went to the bank and
I opened up an account, andI want to put money in it.
So then when the bills come forinsurance and all of that, I'll I
mainly have that money ready to go. But you got to know, well,
(24:53):
you got all this stuff, howdo you calculate what you want to
put in every month and make surethat you don't have a defice? Well,
the easy thing is an escrow spreadsheet. I don't want to do that
thing from ground zero take me toolong, So I started googling. I
put an Escrow spreadsheet, and thenall of the stuff starts coming up.
And if you run Excel, youcan get it already done for Excel.
(25:15):
If you do Google Sheets or someother brand. I think there's that one
that's Linux based that's a Freebee openoffice. They have their own code and
you can get it in there likefive or eight different spreadsheet codes and then
you can narrow it down to whateverit want. So I ended up getting
a Excel spreadsheet ready to go todo an escrow count, popping all my
numbers, and now it tells meI have to put away this much per
(25:37):
month. So at the end ofthe year, all this stuff comes out
and I still have money left over. Spent the whole thing all over again,
and it was totally free. Ijust went to the site and downloaded
it. And there's a site it'scalled vertex forty two dot com. This
guy, he's an analytical guy andhe loves numbers and things, and in
two thousand and three he saw allof these people out there. It's like,
you know, you could use thespreadsheet, but people didn't know what
(26:00):
to do. They're afraidom whatever.So they start creating their own spreadsheets and
they have all of these different categoriesthat you can go into and find.
So if you want to ESK growsheet, there it is. You want
to have a sheet that, like, you're doing billing, whether it be
construction or you're consulting or whatever.A time saal, Yeah, there it
is. You got people employees,you want to do time sheets. So
everybody punches in and punches out thereit is and it's great, and so
(26:23):
you pull those down and do it. Now. I'm doing a thing with
Dave Ramsey. He's got a programout called everydollar dot com. Yeah,
and it's a free program. Youcan spend fifteen dollars a month and basically
it gives you some extra goodies andit will also grab the information out of
your checking account automatically populated if youwant to go that route. Nice.
But basically what it does is youcreate a zero dollar budget, so you
(26:45):
budget everything that you pay for inthe month, and it tells you what
you'll have left over, and youcan see where everything goes, like how
much your electricity is percentage of yourbudget, and how much your gas bill
is for the car and whatever you'recalled. It's called everydollar dot com and
you can get it to where youjust sign in to the spreadsheet on the
site, use it with any browser, and you create an account with an
(27:07):
ID and password. He has aapp for it in the iPhone Store and
you can have it on your iPhone, so if you're trying to put your
grocery bills together and stuff, youcan do it all on the fly got
a lot of complaints because it wasnever an Android app, and he was
smacking people around, said, shutup, quit talking to me. We're
working on it for about a yearand a half. Finally they came out
in the Android app. But whatdrives me nuts about it is you can
(27:30):
get the iPhone app, and mostiPhone apps, you can go and put
them on your iPad. No,you can't use your iPad with it unless
you physically go in and sign intothe website. So I've been using this
thing. I started in January,and of course I don't have the bill
anymore for the mortgage, and Inow have figured out a way to free
up about a one thousand dollars amonth in my budget. Nice. Yeah,
(27:52):
And then he talks about the debtsnowball, and that's where you start
off with your credit cards and debt, starting with the smallest highest. You
also have a debt avalanche who wasbasically opposite you, still the biggest,
lowest. And I thought, pointthat would be great to do. And
I did a little at tack sheetand everything, but I'm thinking, I
really want to see numbers. Iwant to see things change. There's got
to be a spreadsheet for this,and I've never heard him talk about a
(28:14):
spreadsheet on their site. Well,debt snowball spreadsheet, Google it, Boom,
there it was. And the spreadsheetwill let you do up to ten
debts for free, and then youcan either flip it to where you're an
avalanche or a snowball, and thenif you have more debts, will you
pay them fifteen dollars? Now youcan track up to twenty debts, pay
them a little more. You cantrack forty, a little more, you
track sixty. But it's all done. You just punch in what your debts
(28:38):
are and automatically it sees what yourinterest rate is. It sees what you've
plugged in for the minimum payment,then down at the bottom and automatically puts
them together, so if you're doinga snowball, it starts with the lowest
to the highest. They're already readyto go and using a computer for what
it was made for, which isnumber processing. And it's got the little
tabs down at the bottom. Youhit the help tab on any of these
(28:59):
and it tells you exactly what goesinto what cell and everything. It's they're
very easy to do, and mostof the stuff is free just for going
and downloading it. Man kind,Yeah, do you sound like a happy
camper? I am very happy.So now my scrow's done. I've got
money that I'm freeing up now becauseI'm doing the snowball and doing all the
stuff and with apps and stuff onthe site that all I had to do
(29:21):
is just reach out. And nowI'm kind of looking at it thinking,
well, I'm having to go inand take stuff out of my checking account,
you know, punch everything in toevery dollar some now I'm thinking about
paying the extra fifteen bucks and justlet it go, grab it, put
it in, and then assign itand make it so much easier. But
these are great tools to have ifyou want to be more financially responsible,
or you're trying to get out ofdebt, or just trying to get your
(29:41):
life together and you don't know whereto start. Just google it and there's
generally bound to be a spreadsheet ordatabased program that you already have the software
before you plug it into You're good. So they probably under run under Excel,
correct, Yeah, Excel is theprimary thing, but you can convert
them over to you whatever version ofspreadsheet that you want. There's play.
Open office has how much of thatstuff in it too? Yeah, open
(30:02):
office and a lot of them.Okay, when we come back. Um,
one thing that mister m Williams doesmuch more than I do is he
does radio from his home. Andyou've run across a microphone. That's a
deal. We gotta we gotta talkabout that, okay. Texas Overnight Triple
Light two five sixteen eighty. Questionsabout home tech, home computer tech deals
(30:22):
on the phone problems your phone's having. We can handle it all. Triple
eight two five six ten eighty.Back in the minute. You're listening to
Texas Overnight with Charlie Jones on NewsRadio ten eighty k r l D Texas
(30:52):
over Night, fifty one after thehour. Now, what are the things
that up the radio is doing?Increasingly these days, lots of people are
able to do studio quality set fromtheir houses. And it's amazing how cheap
it's gotten it's made, seeing howmuch stuff is out there, and it's
amazing how much fun it is too. And mickya're telling me that like these
big electro voice microphones we're using inhere, this is this is the radio
(31:12):
goal standard. But there are lotsof mics out there that will give you
outstanding performance for a very reasonable investmentof a time and money. Yeah,
and a lot of the microphones you'reused to using our quarter inch jacks or
eighth inch jacks and you get themat Walmart. They're cheap and you know,
nineteen dollars Phillip's microphone. Yeah,it does the job, but it's
not that great. Sometimes you wantto have a directional microphone so when you're
(31:34):
talking like we are, it's notsplattering all over the place. And a
good microphone user the computer because sometimesyou'll get grounding issues and stuff. A
lot of stuff now is using USBmicrophones. Have a USB on the port,
you plug it in, sees thesets of drivers. And one of
the ones I found that I loveis a meteor mic. It's a meteor
and it looks like a little rocketship. Meteor mic sounds like a guy
(31:56):
wandering the outback on Australia's Oh he'slet if a kangaroo go ahead, Hey
skippy, Timmy's in Noel. Longjoke. Anyway, The medium microphone is
great because it's portable. It hasa USB cable that's detachable on the front.
You can plug in your headphones andhas Lowlevoine control, so it's all
self contained. So you plug inyour headphones and so hear you hear yourself
(32:17):
in your cans. Yeah, pluggedinto the access port on the mic.
Yeah. Nice. It has lowvoine control for it. But then what's
cool about it is you can Ithas a screwing normal thing on the things,
so you can put in like amic stand and screw it in place
and use it. Or if you'reout in the field, like if I'm
using it here with a little nextbook. It has little legs that fold
down. It looks like a littlerocket ship like those little rockets used to
(32:40):
get from Estus, and you justpoint it to where the microphone's pointed towards
you. If you've got an uneventable, you can adjust the legs to
where if you want to tilt themicrophone back, you can totally adjust it
and then you all you have todo is plug it in Windows seven.
I've used it that far back.I'm not sure about XP, but seven
is the lowest I've used it with. Automatically sees the drivers, sees it's
(33:01):
a meteor, mic goes and grabsthem, pulls them off the net,
puts him in boom. You nowhave everything running. But what I've found
great about this, apart from recordingand doing multi track with audition and everything.
Yes, my brother does a showthat's kind of eighties based. It's
out on a little low power stationin Hot Springs, Arkansas, and it's
(33:22):
called Better Late Than Never, andit's on if you want to hear it,
you can catch it on tune in. It's on kuhs is the station,
Yes, And it's on from twoto five on Mondays. He records
it on Sundays. Sometimes he's inlive. But we did a show about
nuclear stuff and with songs in theeighties. A lot of people don't realize
is songs that you dance to andeverything. But it was about nuclear war.
(33:44):
Oh that's exciting, and so wedid all this like ninety nine leof
balloons, Spin me Rice around,Let's go all the way. There's all
these different songs. So we're doingall this research on it. I'm sitting
in my place a Mesquite. He'ssitting in his place in Hot Springs.
We're skype together and he's got professionalstuff like these microphones and everything. Sitting
in his studio. I got mylittle Meteor and my little Dell computer and
(34:06):
we're talking and doing the show togetherand recording it. And when it played
back, you couldn't tell that wewere five hours away from each other,
No kidding. It was that good. And Skype is great for this kind
of stuff. I've got a guyas a friend of mine's check Moncurrent.
He runs kpyk out in Tarrell andthey do the Tarrell High School football There's
a restaurant on the other side oftown that the guy gets together with the
(34:29):
coach and you know, every seasoncomes up, they do their little high
school wrap up kind of thing abouta half hour and they sell ads,
and then they'll do a thing atthe end of the season and go off
until next season. He has oneof these little my fis that's Virgin Mobile,
and you get that and you hookit up to a notebook running Skype.
Then he has a notebook in thestudio with another Virgin Mobile and hooked
(34:52):
up and he picks up the wholething in Skype, plugs it into his
main board. Guy's talking everything heknows when he's going to shut up,
and then he turns around, firesoff his ads that are paid for,
and then comes back in pots upthe mic and they continue on and they
do this for half an hour untilthe show is done. Then he puts
it back into automatic, starts playingmusic again. And this is all done,
(35:14):
which is simple notebook, Skype anda little prepaid box. So you
can get out to the towers.That's pretty amazing. And they're like ten
miles away from each other across town. And you didn't have to go out
and spend three thousand dollars in theComrax and there's not a ton of latency.
And yeah, and for what youit's probably get seventy two. It's
what they're using. Yeah, whateverthe codec is. But I was standing
(35:35):
in the studio with him one dayand just happened to be the show came
on. Yeah, and I'm watchingthe whole thing go down, and my
mouth has dropped, and I'm thinkingabout all the stuff that I had to
do. Sure, and I'm doingit with Skype just a little. There
was a time when Skype sounded liketwo tin cans in a string. Yeah,
but the all the different bits andpieces of stead I can't believe how
(35:57):
quickly all this wireless stuffs has improvedto the point not only reliable, but
the big boys like Comrax and allthose other folks are sweat and buckshot because
they're building stuff that's way overpriced.Yeah. And I know a guy that's
got a Comrax Access. It's avery nice portable system. Yeah. You
put a simcard into it, Yeah, and go off the towers and stuff.
Yeah, and do live show.And it doesn't sound any better than
(36:20):
a buddy of mine that's using anMatrix too. And Lucy Live light.
Yeah, except that the Commerax gadgetit costs thirty five hundred dollars and the
Lucy Live Light. You can bethe whole thing, including the used phone.
It's one hundred bucks. Yeah.And you can use a BlackBerry,
you can use a Windows phone,you can use an Android phone. And
that's what you're Remarkableut some of theseearly phones, the quality of the microphones.
Who to thunk it? Yeah,in a phone and the Atrix,
(36:44):
I think it has two microphones becauseit does noise canceling. Yes it does,
and that makes it even better.It it kills the room boom for
sure. Oh yeah. Yeah.All right, So there you have,
folks. The first hour of thea Tech Show. It's the third thirsty
of the month and all that jazzcoming up in just a moment. But
there's still stuff we haven't covered.For example, what's happened to Barnes and
Noble may not sound like a bigdeal, but folks, it is.
(37:04):
There's stuff going on there. Wecan talk about Cisco, We need to
talk about the the the triple eehit for the that meteor mic and the
see we've covered every dollar, we'vecovered, spreadsheets ready to go. You
know, we probably need to dosome phone stuff too, So folks,
we'll pitch all that stuff together.In general, if you have a question
that has to do with tech inthe house, your phone tech, your
your high fi system, your stuffof your car, Bluetooth thing that we've
(37:28):
we've got, we may not beable to give you great prices. We
know, we know things that workin certain solutions you can you can get
into and point you in the direction. Yeah, and it'll be it's not
going to be expensive. It's goingto be cheap. Skate doing stuff on
the cheap. That's how this works. Yes, so phone numbers triple eight,
two, five, six, ten, eighty. Mister mccolliams is my

They're burning down wiscons on the nextYankee territory codor don't burn down things
(01:04):
all right, mister McWilliams. Goodto have you back, sir Yes,
also known as the Evil Guy.Oh yeah, the Perubia Mobile concert.
Here we got a ton of stuffto talk about, and you know,
Nick, there's there's so much newsbreaking out there. I'm okay, let's
let's start with this. I'm lookingat my humble tebow the other day,
got the programming grid up, andI'm looking for VH one. It's not
(01:26):
there. What I do see isMTV Classic in his place. What happened,
Well, funny thing happened. RememberMTV used to stand for Music Television.
Yes, and somewhere down the waythey say, oh, we don't
want to do music no more,and that's not profitable. It'll cost too
much to big videos. Yeah again, and they went onto the stupid stuff.
Yeah, was it fop style stuffand all that people Labam and Jackass
and all these other shows, stuffthat people can get with fewer commercials and
(01:48):
in better reception on their phones andon their care yeah, laptops. Well,
come to find out, here comesthe thirty fifth anniversary of the launch
of MTV. Back on August first, and very quietly, VH one Class
six went there, normal broadcast day, and all of a sudden, I
forget what the last song was played, but it was a music video,
and they just went away and theycame on at midnight Eastern time, has
(02:13):
MTV Classics. So vhe signed off, signed off for good. They're gone.
VH one itself is still their VHone Classics is gone and I can't
watch it because it's in the nexttier up of course, so I didn't
get to see it. But nowit became MTV Classics. And what they're
doing is they're showing old school videos. Now what's driving this, well,
(02:34):
a lot of things. A hugechange of heart here. Yeah, Well,
first off, they're losing a lotof people because the videos are gone.
A lot of people don't realize thatthere's yeah, and a lot of
people think, oh, well,nobody's making videos anymore. Well they are.
And if you go to YouTube,you can see all the old stuff
that you grew up with. It'sjust like, you know, being back
in high school again. And ofcourse these new artists are making videos and
(02:59):
you get to see that. Andthen not only is YouTube out there,
but Vivo is another group that's mostlyall of the artists from the record labels
themselves Right kind of Control, andyou'll find a significant amount of that on
YouTube. Yeah, and then theguy that did Blurred Lines, Robin Thick
that was one of the big popularsin of course, all of the major
artists are up there. And thenI was seeing a thing in the news
(03:21):
today, So we put this littlevideo montage together and something was made perfectly
clear. When you go to YouTubeand you look at their stats, over
two million users are watching music videoson a daily basis, on a daily
basis, and they've got that kindof bandwidth and that kind of reach.
Yeah, so now you have allthese eyes over here and all this traffic,
(03:43):
and MTV looks over say, hey, wait a minute, I thought
v music video was dead. What'sgoing on over YouTube? What's going on
over Vivo? What's going on here? Why aren't these people over here not
the first organization to have a greatidea and to jump ship in the middle
of things. Right now, youalso have to look at thirty five years
on now. The people that werein high school at the time myself included
sure when VH one first signed on, are now in their fifties and they
(04:06):
have a little more spending money.And so to get those people back to
MTV classics and go, hey,nostalgia, come on over. It's like
high school all over again, exceptnow you can afford the jag and come
over there, and you know theyso your ads and do stuff anything.
They're bringing back a lot of theold shows like one hundred and twenty minutes,
House of Style, anything that wasfrom the eighties to nineties. They're
(04:30):
pretty much peppering across. My sonworked I've been a very nice college dive
bar for about four years. AndI asked him what what what lived on
the jukebox? A dad us alleighty stuff. Oh, he said,
a's up to the very early nineties. That's all that gets played. And
I was looking and thinking, well, man, I never thought about MTV.
I just realized that YouTube was itwas beautifully positioned. One thing I
love about YouTube and you know cheapconfessional here I can. I can sit
(04:55):
down with YouTube. Well, I'mdoing some of the work and have the
same the same freedom that I hadin the Zoo Air studio that if I
want to hear something from some startingalbum, they've got it, yeah,
and I can hear it. AndI found obscure stuff because I used to
do I did research for a Britishshow and I would find stuff from the
sixties acts that played overseas but didn'tmake it into the States, and you'll
(05:15):
find somebody has a forty five andthey'll record it and put it up there.
The guy that likes to put iton the turntable and put the little
leader on and watch it like you'reright there or real to real. And
you see a lot of that too, and people that are in that age
bracket, the baby boomers, cango back and listen to that stuff and
even find new stuff that maybe didn'tcome here. So here's here's MTV.
Their first tune was Video Killed theRadio Star Bugles of the Bugles, Andrew
(05:38):
became Oh and by the way,mister Moments of Love, I've been monitoring
your transmissions. And Dwayne Eddie,yes, that is Peter Gun of course,
that is the Art of Noise,which the group that made the Buggles
broke off and reformed and made theirArt of Noise, and add An Dudley,
which is the female that is inthe group. She went off to
(05:59):
become a OSCAR winning composer and herfirst song that won an Oscar was the
soundtrack for the Full Monty. Shecomposed the whole score. I can't tell
you how difficult it is. Igot a call one night from somebody who
wanted to hear that tune that's inthat Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. And I thought,
what turns out it's Moments in Love. Yeah, and it's on his
Stay Hungry. The Oasis used toplay that. Sure that, but let's
(06:21):
call him. But when when somebodywants to hear something on a jazz station
that's from a Schwarzenegger film, yougo, what are they talking about?
And she couldn't have told me momentsin Love if your life depended on the
Moments in Love. Baby, let'sgo shoot the town anyway. Okay,
folks listening to the tech show here, you know one thing that that got
me. You were telling me thatthe HTC ten has become an orphan.
Now this is a marvelous phone.Yes, and I've been an HTC fan
(06:44):
for a long time, beautiful fan. I thought I thought T Mobile had
picked him up. T Mobile didpick him up. I'm not sure if
AT ANDT did or not. Theystill have two lower nhtcs they keep in
their in their arts. HTC hasgreat sound and then their cameras are outstanding.
I went back to HTC and whata lot of people don't realize is
you kind of that whole dance withthe one that brung you? Sure?
The very first Android phone was theG one, which was sold by T
(07:08):
Mobile that was all built by HTC. HTC started Android, and I went
back to HTC after having just ahorrible time with the LG that I had.
So what do you think when youwent back to them? I love
them, I've been through. Whatis T Mobile's problem? Well, I
think it's a lot of things.First off, when you look at the
ten, the ten's available for saleon its own, it's six ninety nine
(07:30):
with thirty two gigabytes on board.And yeah, but if you're all ready
an HTC user and you show proofthat you own one, they'll knock one
hundred dollars off right off the bat. That's something. Yeah, you just
tell them what the serial number is. They go, yep, your user,
bam, one hundred dollars off.But then what's nice about it is
they come unlocked, they're not tiedto a service. They come with no
blowwear. Wait a minute, everyphone comes as blowwear, not when you
(07:54):
buy it from HTC. No kidding. Yeah, so now you're getting a
phone, it's thirty two gigabytes youget thirty two gobytes wear. Your phone
is unlocked. You don't have togo back to your carry and go Please
say, would you inLove my phone? You know you don't have to do
that and get and they got,well, I don't know, it's already
unlocked. Put whatever card you wanted. If you go overseas and go,
you know, to Jamaica or someplaceyou want to go, get a prepaid
(08:16):
phone. Yeah, just take aprepaid SIMP put it in your HTC.
Ten bam, you got a Jamaicanumber. How do you like that on
I phone? This actually user friendly? And then they took their bloatwear and
they said, we're not going toput it on here. But if you
want it, all you gotta dois go into the Android market, pull
up HTC and you can download anythingyou want of ours and put it in
the phone and customer oh man ala card. Yeah, programming for your
(08:37):
phone. Why is this news?Because why wasn't it. I can't tell
you how much stuff that I've hadto figure out to take off the AT
and T phones I've had because Inever use it. I don't need it.
Yeah, a lot of it.You can, whether it's att or
whoever the carriers you can't take offtheir staff. That's one thing I liked
about my Nokia ten twenty. Icould all but the stuff that the AT
(08:58):
and T just couldn't bear to partwith. Although us it was raceable.
I raised every bit of it.It was great. Yeah, and I've
never missed it. And I hadan unlocked HTC. Yeah, and I
had sixteen gigabytes on it. MySIM thing broke where it wouldn't hold the
SIM in place. Ye, SoI scrambled down to a T and T
and got another desire, which wasa neural one that had sixteen eight of
it's taken up by bloatwear. Whatis the point? Yeah, I don't
(09:20):
want to. I mean, ifI want it, I should be able
to go up and down and say, hey, we got this stuff,
come download it, don't put iton my phone. What they're thinking is,
well, we've got a got anSD card in there, have a
big thing. I have a niceday. Yeah. Nothing drives me nuts
when you call up the company,whether it AT and T, Verizon,
whatever, and they go, well, you know you should download or app
it allow you to pay you abill online. I don't care it takes
(09:41):
up space. If I want yourapp, I'll go get it. Reminds
me of my last trip to radioshack before my friend the local radio shack
disappeared. And by the way,there's a rumor that game Stop is buying
a bunch of those whole radio shacks. Can we hit that in a minute?
Yeah? All right, ladies andgentlemen, Thursday is upon you.
The Tech show coming your way.If you've been looking for a cool mic
a phone at the house, it'saffordable for putting your own podcasts out.
(10:03):
We've got some suggestions for you.If you have a Chromebook, get this
Chromebook twos and I've got a listof them here. We'll have access to
all the Android apps before another coupleof months has gone by. So if
you've bought a Chrome Book in thelast year, the chances are good it'll
do Google Play and the Android Store. How about that. This is Texas
(10:24):
Overnight with Charlie Jones on News Radioten eight kr LD. When news happens
in North Texas or around the world, stay up to date with CBS and
News Radio ten eighty kr LD.Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and
(10:56):
welcome back. It's Texas overnight onthe Texas Day Network. If you're notice
on your probial calendar, it's thethird Thursday morning of the month, which
means time for mister Nick Williams tojoin us, which he has indeed done.
And Mick, I've been looking ata couple of things here. I'd
like to know what the story isabout the radio shack stores. I heard
that that GameStop was going to buythis and you say, no, they've
(11:16):
bought somebody else. Yeah. Ihad heard they're in the bankruptcy, that
GameStop was looking at acquiring some ofthe stores, and I never heard exactly
what happened to that, because thebig deal was with Sprint and a lot
of them are still surviving. Butthey're a combination Sprint and radio shack store.
Yeah, well that's my local storydown of these chases. That's that's
what they've done. Yeah, butthey don't know anything about radio, they
(11:39):
don't anything about electronics. And thereare those kids are there to sell cell
phones. Well, and you can'tknock them for that. That's what they
were hired. They hired him todo. Yeah, gone of the days
when you walk into a radio shack, neither you knew what you were talking
about, or they knew what you'retalking about, or if if you had
enough idea, they could finish yoursentence for you and sell you what you
needed. Well, it was sofunny they had that brand there for a
while, said that you have questions, we have answers, and used to
(12:03):
people used to make funs like youhave questions, we have dumb looks.
It was also two different things thatpeople used to bring on the end of
that ouch. But yeah, GameStop, what they're doing is, you know,
things have changed. Used to beyou went into a game store and
you had a physical piece of mediathat you could lay hands on, and
things are changing. Now you havegames that you buy in the cloud,
or you buy subscriptions and all ofthese things. And of course game Stop
(12:24):
is notorious for taking in used gamesand reselling them and everything, sir,
And that's a pretty good line togo, but it really doesn't support everything.
So what they're doing now is they'resaying, hey, we've got tablets
and phones that games are on,and there's merchandise that is accessorized that is
game type, whether it be Pokemonor whatever, that is designed for these
(12:46):
devices. So what they've done isthey've done a deal with AT and T
and they've gone in and bought atotal of five hundred and seven cricket and
AT and T wireless stores and bringingthem under them putting the game stuff.
Okay, why is AT and Tcontracting? And when I didn't know that
they AT and T sold cricket intheir stores, I thought that was a
(13:09):
big sequel. Well, this isn'tactual AT and T stores because you have
a T and T company stores,but you also have authorized resellers. And
what they're doing is they're buying authorizedresellers like Cellular World and several others across
the country, and those stores maybeyou're having issues because they're authorized resellers.
They sell primarily AT and tier.They might sell other things, and with
(13:30):
economy and everything, maybe they're havingto slim down and find new things to
do. And quite frankly, phonesare becoming a commodity just like computers.
And we'll talk about that later onbecause there's some funny, fascinating little things
going on in China I can tellyou about indeed. Okay, so we'll
get to that later. But yeah, this will give them a total of
about a little over fourteen, aboutone four hundred and twenty stores that are
(13:52):
going to compared to the lot stores. So now you can come into a
game stop. You can buy games, but you can also get games and
accessories for your pad or your phoneand bring it all in. Is a
one stop shop. And of courseI'm assuming they'll also say you the phones
if you have a contract, andwhatever else you need to do prepaid.
Yeah, they can make money.They make money off a little long day
off or prepaid if they wanted to, So that gives them more streams to
(14:13):
go through instead of just being dependentjust on that one game stream. Yeah,
and then still do the used productand trade ins and stuff like they're
known for it as well. That'llwork, and so they have enough business
to justify this year. I mean, this is a huge expansion. Yeah,
if you buy these stories, you'vegot to fill them up with a
product. I mean, because ifI see a game stop, I'll think,
(14:35):
you know, I used to playon the kids Nintendo sixty four,
like a double seven Goldeny or whatever. Maybe they've got to copy that.
Then you pop in, but they'regonna have to have inventory available, are
they not. Yeah, and thenthey have a huge inventory. I think
it's up a one eighty three asyou're going out past Ulis in toward Fort
Worth. They have a huge place. They're right about where one eighty three
(14:56):
and three sixty er together, andthat's their warehouse and world headquarters. And
so they've got plenty of square feetto have all of that stuff and be
able to distribute it to all thedifferent stories. It's pretty cool, so
plenty plenty of room to keep.So if this is underway, it'll take
effect win or it's already happening,and they'll be probably done by September or
so, and then you'll be ableto walk in and do all of these
(15:16):
all right, Well that'll work,okay, Folks at Triple eight two five,
six to night. If you havea tech question on whatever, we're
here to field your questions and makefun of you in general, and then
whatever else. I think one thingI wanted to throw out here just for
the heck of it. Um.Actually, I've been amazed at how will
(15:37):
Netflix is doing. Yes, andI am doing a tremendous amount. I've
been watching Longmeyer, I've been watching, uh, the bunch of stuff table
I've been watching watching is it's what'sit called Stranger Things. I hear people
talking about that on Facebook. Janelleand I. One of the guys that
watched it in Austin Listens to Mecalled it and recommended it during the movie
(15:58):
show two weeks ago. I think, and I thought, well, okay,
and he said, man, I'vebeen bening on. I watched.
I watched the whole thing, andon weekend I thought, wow, man,
uh, and it's it is reallyinteresting, it's really different. It's
it has it has a little bitof the X Files. There are places
where a mine abt and it's it'sit's sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's scary,
(16:21):
and it's it is. I'm amazedthat Netflix can can trot out stuff
like this that is just just theirproduct, just like the House of Cards.
Yeah, I'm good, old FrankUnderwood, man, how well.
I mean, I'm amazed how wellthey're doing and the idea, well A,
we're a cable channel, but wecan we can be a lot more
than that. It's fine to saythat. And I've enjoyed um, I've
(16:41):
enjoyed House of Cards, and Ialso enjoyed Marco Polo, which I just
got. They just completed their secondseason, and that's very good. And
what I've been getting into now isactually Last Man Standing, the Tim Allen
show that's on ABC. They've gotall of the seasons on Netflix, and
I never got to see the firstseason. I could watch it on Amazon,
(17:03):
but they want to charge me likea dollar ninety nine episode in the
whole first season. How expensive thatstuff on Amazon is? Yeah, stuff
that Netflix has for free. Amazonwants two dollars an episode, and if
you have a twenty four episode season, that's fifty dollars. Yeah. So
I've been watching the first season,which is about twenty three twenty four episodes,
and I'm almost done with it movingin the second because I came in
(17:23):
watching it regularly about the second orthird season. And then Hulu it's I
think it's on Friday nights and thenMonday. I'll watched her over the weekend
when it's on normally, and I'vebeen able to do that. I've been
able to the Blacklist. Person ofInterest is up there now except for the
last season, and you've seen alot of these shows now popping out.
I was surprised the CBS show wasactually on Netflix is I figured that was
(17:44):
something they would keep with access.I would think so too. Now they
have it there, but they're releasinga lot of that style of st there
might have signed the contract earlier.Folks, if you haven't seen Stranger Things,
it's about group of kids and thisis back in the eighties. They
got eighties cars, they got eightiestechnology, eighties music and what we were
just talking about, and the StrangerThings is capitalizing on this. Very nice
that they got telekinetic girl, IFace this monster and other worldly dimensions.
(18:07):
It sounds hockey, but it's welldone. And the eighties nature of the
kids. It it'll remind you ofan ET, but there's a bunch more
going on that the kids are wellcast. Well we get back. We
got to talk about a classic thatNetflix has that's also going to be on
DVD. That'll work Texas Overnight,the Tech Show third Thursday, we'll continue.
You're listening to Texas Overnight with CharlieJones on news Radio ten eight kr
(18:30):
LD. Okay, so two thingsregarding Stranger Things. You should know that
it only dropped July fifteenth, andit's got a tremendous amount of I'm not
sure what the story would be.I think attention would be a fair thing
to say. And you should alsoknow that Netflix has not announced a second
(18:52):
season for sure, but I'm almostcertain we're going to see it. It's
it has a little bit of somethingfor everybody. And you had you had
a particular Netflix item too, didn'tyou. Yeah, Call Check the Night
Stocker, the series that was onI think it was on ABC, yeah,
back in the day. Yeah,twenty episodes and then they used to
run it on CBS Late Night Movie. Yes, sir, the Letterman came
(19:12):
over and call check is now Ithink it was on Sci Fi for a
while, chopped up, just justbrutalized with commercials, and so now it's
on Netflix and it's been streaming fora while. But then I guess it's
been doing so good on Netflix.They've decided a universal home video. They
had come out with it about tenyears ago on DVD and then they stopped
(19:34):
making it, and if you tryto find a copy it is like three
to five times over the price youwould have normally paid. How many seasons
were there one twenty episodes, Manand and folks, if you've never seen
col check Darren McGavin, who alsodidn't play my camera one time. Uh
No, but he was the fatherin Christmas story. Here we go and
all sorts of he looks like MattDrudge gets they cut the pork pie hand
(19:56):
on the reporter coat and a typewriter. He exactly a Drudge chlone. But
you can see, you can seevibes of it, and what a great
guy. And so so they've decidedthey now they have a winner. They're
gonna take it back because you're tellingme, they're gonna maybe gonna put it
on DVD in October, and UniversalHome Video is gonna have it for sale
for the complete series. How doyou like that? Yeah? And now
I'm gonna have to go up thisweekend and start having a little cold check
(20:18):
binge. Anyway, Okay, subjectof beinging something you should know if you've
been, if you've been thinking abouta Chromebook two. I took the plunge
here. It's been a couple ofthree or four months ago, maybe three
months, and I gotta tell you, I have a laptop that doesn't get
hot, doesn't have a fan,a charge last seven hours, even with
(20:38):
multiple tabs open. It has beenjust terrific. And I ran across something
that's completely amazing. Um. Googleis announced that they that they made changes
to the Chromos a year ago toenable all the chromebooks sold in about the
last year. And I were talkingto the Chromebook two here to run Android
apps from the Google Play Store.Yeah, now this is a big deal.
(21:00):
And they say that this eligibility capabilitywill it'll be part of an update
that hits the eligible chonebooks later thisyear. And I've got something I'm gonna
stick on the Facebook page. It'sall the chonebook os systems that support the
Android apps. It's as Or,it's a SOUS, it's a CD I,
CTL, Dell, Um, Googleof course, uh Lenova, and
(21:21):
in my case, it'll be aToshiba, also a Samsung, and uh
just just a whole bunch of them. And try to imagine all that Google
Play Store stuff and Android capability allin one box. And it's a box
that is not subject to the usualkind of foo fall that that requires any
virus in any malware, because there'sjust not enough of the there's there's no
(21:45):
there's not enough there there for theviruses to attack for the most part.
Well, I was reading an articleabout this app that I've been trying to
test, and I don't want totalk about it yet because I haven't gotten
a firm your name, okay,But what was funny about it was they
said, well, you click onthis little thing and Chrome and it'll take
you to a place where you cango get it. Well, you click
it on, and they have allof these apps that you can download into
(22:08):
the Chrome browser. And I'm runningWindows ten, I'm not running Chromos,
and this particular thing I was lookingfor was in there, and I pulled
it down, plugged it in,and it works with coating in your web
brows. So you're running Chromos onyour Windows ten Chrome Chrome browser and you're
(22:29):
able to download this stuff and stickit into that despite the fact there's wind
tens and all these different things,and you just pick them and they become
part like a plug in or somethinginto your Chrome browser. Man, that
sounds great, Yeah, And Ithought that was really neat. And then
now I hear about this whole thingwith Google Play, and that's kind of
sounding like what I'm doing. Butthen I'm only on the ten side.
(22:51):
But I've been pretty impressed with whatChrome has been doing in the background and
being able to pull these things downand plug them in. Tell you something.
I'm playing with it. I'm nottalking about yet. I've run across
a it's a I guess we couldcall it an app that's been advanced in
Britain. You have a decent microphoneconnected to your laptop or to your Chromebook,
(23:11):
whatever you're using, and it usesthe Chrome browser as an interface and
then sends a packeted encoded voice trailto another computer and you can have this
conversation perfectly miked. It sounds likeyou're both in the same studio and you're
using your browser as the interface.It's amazing. This is Texas Overnight with
(23:33):
Charlie Jones on News Radio ten eightkr LD. When you wake up tomorrow
morning, get breaking overnight news firston news Radio ten eight kr LD overnight
(24:07):
time at forty one after the hour, make your time me something about the
I've ready made spreadsheets. What I'vealready made spreadsheets? They're my friends.
Okay, why do you need readymade spreadsheets? Well, here's the deal.
I took Excel course in Eastfield becauseone of my arch nemesis is PowerPoint
and Excel. And once I tookit, I realized how easy it was
is great, but there are timeswhen you want to have something, you
(24:30):
want to crunch numbers, but youdon't know where to begin building your own
spreadsheet. I just so, Ijust got my house paid off back in
June outstanding. Yeah, so Ihave zero balance on the house. But
I wanted to create an escrow account, and I went to the bank and
I opened up an account, andI want to put money in it.
So then when the bills come forinsurance and all of that, I'll I
mainly have that money ready to go. But you got to know, well,
(24:53):
you got all this stuff, howdo you calculate what you want to
put in every month and make surethat you don't have a defice? Well,
the easy thing is an escrow spreadsheet. I don't want to do that
thing from ground zero take me toolong, So I started googling. I
put an Escrow spreadsheet, and thenall of the stuff starts coming up.
And if you run Excel, youcan get it already done for Excel.
(25:15):
If you do Google Sheets or someother brand. I think there's that one
that's Linux based that's a Freebee openoffice. They have their own code and
you can get it in there likefive or eight different spreadsheet codes and then
you can narrow it down to whateverit want. So I ended up getting
a Excel spreadsheet ready to go todo an escrow count, popping all my
numbers, and now it tells meI have to put away this much per
(25:37):
month. So at the end ofthe year, all this stuff comes out
and I still have money left over. Spent the whole thing all over again,
and it was totally free. Ijust went to the site and downloaded
it. And there's a site it'scalled vertex forty two dot com. This
guy, he's an analytical guy andhe loves numbers and things, and in
two thousand and three he saw allof these people out there. It's like,
you know, you could use thespreadsheet, but people didn't know what
(26:00):
to do. They're afraidom whatever.So they start creating their own spreadsheets and
they have all of these different categoriesthat you can go into and find.
So if you want to ESK growsheet, there it is. You want
to have a sheet that, like, you're doing billing, whether it be
construction or you're consulting or whatever.A time saal, Yeah, there it
is. You got people employees,you want to do time sheets. So
everybody punches in and punches out thereit is and it's great, and so
(26:23):
you pull those down and do it. Now. I'm doing a thing with
Dave Ramsey. He's got a programout called everydollar dot com. Yeah,
and it's a free program. Youcan spend fifteen dollars a month and basically
it gives you some extra goodies andit will also grab the information out of
your checking account automatically populated if youwant to go that route. Nice.
But basically what it does is youcreate a zero dollar budget, so you
(26:45):
budget everything that you pay for inthe month, and it tells you what
you'll have left over, and youcan see where everything goes, like how
much your electricity is percentage of yourbudget, and how much your gas bill
is for the car and whatever you'recalled. It's called everydollar dot com and
you can get it to where youjust sign in to the spreadsheet on the
site, use it with any browser, and you create an account with an
(27:07):
ID and password. He has aapp for it in the iPhone Store and
you can have it on your iPhone, so if you're trying to put your
grocery bills together and stuff, youcan do it all on the fly got
a lot of complaints because it wasnever an Android app, and he was
smacking people around, said, shutup, quit talking to me. We're
working on it for about a yearand a half. Finally they came out
in the Android app. But whatdrives me nuts about it is you can
(27:30):
get the iPhone app, and mostiPhone apps, you can go and put
them on your iPad. No,you can't use your iPad with it unless
you physically go in and sign intothe website. So I've been using this
thing. I started in January,and of course I don't have the bill
anymore for the mortgage, and Inow have figured out a way to free
up about a one thousand dollars amonth in my budget. Nice. Yeah,
(27:52):
And then he talks about the debtsnowball, and that's where you start
off with your credit cards and debt, starting with the smallest highest. You
also have a debt avalanche who wasbasically opposite you, still the biggest,
lowest. And I thought, pointthat would be great to do. And
I did a little at tack sheetand everything, but I'm thinking, I
really want to see numbers. Iwant to see things change. There's got
to be a spreadsheet for this,and I've never heard him talk about a
(28:14):
spreadsheet on their site. Well,debt snowball spreadsheet, Google it, Boom,
there it was. And the spreadsheetwill let you do up to ten
debts for free, and then youcan either flip it to where you're an
avalanche or a snowball, and thenif you have more debts, will you
pay them fifteen dollars? Now youcan track up to twenty debts, pay
them a little more. You cantrack forty, a little more, you
track sixty. But it's all done. You just punch in what your debts
(28:38):
are and automatically it sees what yourinterest rate is. It sees what you've
plugged in for the minimum payment,then down at the bottom and automatically puts
them together, so if you're doinga snowball, it starts with the lowest
to the highest. They're already readyto go and using a computer for what
it was made for, which isnumber processing. And it's got the little
tabs down at the bottom. Youhit the help tab on any of these
(28:59):
and it tells you exactly what goesinto what cell and everything. It's they're
very easy to do, and mostof the stuff is free just for going
and downloading it. Man kind,Yeah, do you sound like a happy
camper? I am very happy.So now my scrow's done. I've got
money that I'm freeing up now becauseI'm doing the snowball and doing all the
stuff and with apps and stuff onthe site that all I had to do
(29:21):
is just reach out. And nowI'm kind of looking at it thinking,
well, I'm having to go inand take stuff out of my checking account,
you know, punch everything in toevery dollar some now I'm thinking about
paying the extra fifteen bucks and justlet it go, grab it, put
it in, and then assign itand make it so much easier. But
these are great tools to have ifyou want to be more financially responsible,
or you're trying to get out ofdebt, or just trying to get your
(29:41):
life together and you don't know whereto start. Just google it and there's
generally bound to be a spreadsheet ordatabased program that you already have the software
before you plug it into You're good. So they probably under run under Excel,
correct, Yeah, Excel is theprimary thing, but you can convert
them over to you whatever version ofspreadsheet that you want. There's play.
Open office has how much of thatstuff in it too? Yeah, open
(30:02):
office and a lot of them.Okay, when we come back. Um,
one thing that mister m Williams doesmuch more than I do is he
does radio from his home. Andyou've run across a microphone. That's a
deal. We gotta we gotta talkabout that, okay. Texas Overnight Triple
Light two five sixteen eighty. Questionsabout home tech, home computer tech deals
(30:22):
on the phone problems your phone's having. We can handle it all. Triple
eight two five six ten eighty.Back in the minute. You're listening to
Texas Overnight with Charlie Jones on NewsRadio ten eighty k r l D Texas
(30:52):
over Night, fifty one after thehour. Now, what are the things
that up the radio is doing?Increasingly these days, lots of people are
able to do studio quality set fromtheir houses. And it's amazing how cheap
it's gotten it's made, seeing howmuch stuff is out there, and it's
amazing how much fun it is too. And mickya're telling me that like these
big electro voice microphones we're using inhere, this is this is the radio
(31:12):
goal standard. But there are lotsof mics out there that will give you
outstanding performance for a very reasonable investmentof a time and money. Yeah,
and a lot of the microphones you'reused to using our quarter inch jacks or
eighth inch jacks and you get themat Walmart. They're cheap and you know,
nineteen dollars Phillip's microphone. Yeah,it does the job, but it's
not that great. Sometimes you wantto have a directional microphone so when you're
(31:34):
talking like we are, it's notsplattering all over the place. And a
good microphone user the computer because sometimesyou'll get grounding issues and stuff. A
lot of stuff now is using USBmicrophones. Have a USB on the port,
you plug it in, sees thesets of drivers. And one of
the ones I found that I loveis a meteor mic. It's a meteor
and it looks like a little rocketship. Meteor mic sounds like a guy
(31:56):
wandering the outback on Australia's Oh he'slet if a kangaroo go ahead, Hey
skippy, Timmy's in Noel. Longjoke. Anyway, The medium microphone is
great because it's portable. It hasa USB cable that's detachable on the front.
You can plug in your headphones andhas Lowlevoine control, so it's all
self contained. So you plug inyour headphones and so hear you hear yourself
(32:17):
in your cans. Yeah, pluggedinto the access port on the mic.
Yeah. Nice. It has lowvoine control for it. But then what's
cool about it is you can Ithas a screwing normal thing on the things,
so you can put in like amic stand and screw it in place
and use it. Or if you'reout in the field, like if I'm
using it here with a little nextbook. It has little legs that fold
down. It looks like a littlerocket ship like those little rockets used to
(32:40):
get from Estus, and you justpoint it to where the microphone's pointed towards
you. If you've got an uneventable, you can adjust the legs to
where if you want to tilt themicrophone back, you can totally adjust it
and then you all you have todo is plug it in Windows seven.
I've used it that far back.I'm not sure about XP, but seven
is the lowest I've used it with. Automatically sees the drivers, sees it's
(33:01):
a meteor, mic goes and grabsthem, pulls them off the net,
puts him in boom. You nowhave everything running. But what I've found
great about this, apart from recordingand doing multi track with audition and everything.
Yes, my brother does a showthat's kind of eighties based. It's
out on a little low power stationin Hot Springs, Arkansas, and it's
(33:22):
called Better Late Than Never, andit's on if you want to hear it,
you can catch it on tune in. It's on kuhs is the station,
Yes, And it's on from twoto five on Mondays. He records
it on Sundays. Sometimes he's inlive. But we did a show about
nuclear stuff and with songs in theeighties. A lot of people don't realize
is songs that you dance to andeverything. But it was about nuclear war.
(33:44):
Oh that's exciting, and so wedid all this like ninety nine leof
balloons, Spin me Rice around,Let's go all the way. There's all
these different songs. So we're doingall this research on it. I'm sitting
in my place a Mesquite. He'ssitting in his place in Hot Springs.
We're skype together and he's got professionalstuff like these microphones and everything. Sitting
in his studio. I got mylittle Meteor and my little Dell computer and
(34:06):
we're talking and doing the show togetherand recording it. And when it played
back, you couldn't tell that wewere five hours away from each other,
No kidding. It was that good. And Skype is great for this kind
of stuff. I've got a guyas a friend of mine's check Moncurrent.
He runs kpyk out in Tarrell andthey do the Tarrell High School football There's
a restaurant on the other side oftown that the guy gets together with the
(34:29):
coach and you know, every seasoncomes up, they do their little high
school wrap up kind of thing abouta half hour and they sell ads,
and then they'll do a thing atthe end of the season and go off
until next season. He has oneof these little my fis that's Virgin Mobile,
and you get that and you hookit up to a notebook running Skype.
Then he has a notebook in thestudio with another Virgin Mobile and hooked
(34:52):
up and he picks up the wholething in Skype, plugs it into his
main board. Guy's talking everything heknows when he's going to shut up,
and then he turns around, firesoff his ads that are paid for,
and then comes back in pots upthe mic and they continue on and they
do this for half an hour untilthe show is done. Then he puts
it back into automatic, starts playingmusic again. And this is all done,
(35:14):
which is simple notebook, Skype anda little prepaid box. So you
can get out to the towers.That's pretty amazing. And they're like ten
miles away from each other across town. And you didn't have to go out
and spend three thousand dollars in theComrax and there's not a ton of latency.
And yeah, and for what youit's probably get seventy two. It's
what they're using. Yeah, whateverthe codec is. But I was standing
(35:35):
in the studio with him one dayand just happened to be the show came
on. Yeah, and I'm watchingthe whole thing go down, and my
mouth has dropped, and I'm thinkingabout all the stuff that I had to
do. Sure, and I'm doingit with Skype just a little. There
was a time when Skype sounded liketwo tin cans in a string. Yeah,
but the all the different bits andpieces of stead I can't believe how
(35:57):
quickly all this wireless stuffs has improvedto the point not only reliable, but
the big boys like Comrax and allthose other folks are sweat and buckshot because
they're building stuff that's way overpriced.Yeah. And I know a guy that's
got a Comrax Access. It's avery nice portable system. Yeah. You
put a simcard into it, Yeah, and go off the towers and stuff.
Yeah, and do live show.And it doesn't sound any better than
(36:20):
a buddy of mine that's using anMatrix too. And Lucy Live light.
Yeah, except that the Commerax gadgetit costs thirty five hundred dollars and the
Lucy Live Light. You can bethe whole thing, including the used phone.
It's one hundred bucks. Yeah.And you can use a BlackBerry,
you can use a Windows phone,you can use an Android phone. And
that's what you're Remarkableut some of theseearly phones, the quality of the microphones.
Who to thunk it? Yeah,in a phone and the Atrix,
(36:44):
I think it has two microphones becauseit does noise canceling. Yes it does,
and that makes it even better.It it kills the room boom for
sure. Oh yeah. Yeah.All right, So there you have,
folks. The first hour of thea Tech Show. It's the third thirsty
of the month and all that jazzcoming up in just a moment. But
there's still stuff we haven't covered.For example, what's happened to Barnes and
Noble may not sound like a bigdeal, but folks, it is.
(37:04):
