a lot of people are talking about it. I've only
seen Shane Gillis and clips online really yeah, like doing
like kill Tony or you know, on Bert's cooking podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know, huh.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've never seen his stand up and I really want
to watch it.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I find myself liking him more and more.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
I have friends that are hardcore, like they'll go sit
in the back just to see him perform.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
So I went to one of Burd's shows and Shane
was a surprise guest. Yeah, and people just lost it.
I mean, it's so good.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's him, it's Tony Hingecliff, it's these guys. Because I
told you a thousand times my favorite comedy is like,
the more inappropriate, the better. I don't care if it's racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic,
equal opportunity, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Matter what it is. Like, the more inappropriate is the
funnier I find it. Well, he's your guy.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
Oh yeah, but he has a TV show called Tires
that's on Netflix. Yeah, that is so funny.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's good and two seasons. Well, I didn't watch the SP's.
I have some clips from Shane Gillis, and he's getting
kind of mixed reviews. There are people who thought it
was really great, but then there was like a bunch
of Shane Gillis type jokes. Oh really, because I've seen
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Positive there is, there is a lot of positive, but
they're you know, based on some of the jokes that
he made. Of course, there are people who are yeah, sure, yeah,
here's here's a couple of.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Clipstani couldn't make it tonight, man. I hope his interpreter
didn't bet that he was going to be here all right.
Is a once in a generation talent. No one's been
able to do what he does at so many positions.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Pitcher, hitter and Bookie.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Hey, Bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend
before bedtime.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Shouldar ray Leonards here?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Ell?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, shouldar ray? You're the man.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
But what in ten years, Jake Paul is going to
try to knock you out, So.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Take it easy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I thought the Belichick joke was funny. Yeah, here's one
that they got some groans and people are like, oh,
that's an appropriate out.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host
this award show so that I could capture Adam Silver
because Joe thinks he's an alien, and Donald Trump wanted
me to year to capture Juan Soto for the same reason.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's an alien joke.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But we were boot up there.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Dude, shut up, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
It was fine. I didn't write it. Actually, there was
supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but as it
got deleted, must have probably deleted itself, right, probably never existed.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Actually, let's move on as a country and ignore that.
That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, he made some Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Clark, she and I have a lot in common.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
We're both whites from the Midwest who have nailed a
bunch of threes. When Caitlyn Clark retires from the w NBA,
she's going to work at a waffle house so she
can continue doing what she loves most.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Fist fighting black women.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's good. Okay, here you are, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, he crushed it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And then somebody put together like it was like a
like a supercut of the groaners these. Okay, so obviously
there was the alien one that got a groan, the
Caitlin Clark waffle house one. I've seen a couple of
people do a couple of little write ups on. Now
here's here's the supercut of the groaners.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Megan her Pino could not make it tonight. Nice.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Now we're gonna pretend she's a good time all right.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Simone Biles is four foot eight and has seven gold medals.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
She's short and has a lot of gold.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
When she's not competing, she leads a quiet life at
the base.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Of a rainbow. So celefrikan joke.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
If you tell Simona riddle and she can't answer it,
she has to give you all of her gold medals.
That was the best one. I'm not trashing Bill Belichick.
First off, he's seventy three years old. He's dating a
hot twenty four year old and people are criticizing him.
What happened to this country? He used to be a
great country. He won six super Bowls. Yeah, he's dating
(05:08):
a hot twenty four year old. Maybe if you guys
won six super Bowls, you wouldn't be sitting next to
a fat, ugly dog wife.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So good, it's so good. It's so good. Yeah, so funny.
Shane Gills killing it roll.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Yes again, watch his TV show Tires Yet Tires?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
All right, I'll write that down on that place. And
and it's it's what.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
It's kind of like, uh a shot, kind of like
the office, but it's a it's about him working at
a tire shop.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, so it's a scripted tires
A cool checking out Shane Gills.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Shout up, shout out to Shane Gills.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, he started Tires.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I gotta restart it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Richard me or I believe is ready to go.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
We're gonna talk to you rich On Tech, he hosts
a nationally syndicated radio show. It's consumer tech stuff, so
these are not the people getting into like the weeds. Yeah,
on all the technical details and stuff. It's really usable
stuff hardware, phones, whatever, and then also software apps, different
things that you might find interesting or useful.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And Rich is a great guy. We love talking tech
with Rich. All right, welcome back to everybody, by time
to talk to our friend Rich DeMuro. Richie is the
host the rich On Tech radio show, nationally syndicated across
the country. Also, he is the KTLA Channel five tech
(06:40):
reporter and also our go to tech correspondence Rich DeMuro.
Rich Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning you guy. Morning.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Now, it's so funny with the tech guy. We have
this ongoing issue with you dialing into the studio.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, what's going on.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
It's so weird, you know, I don't know what the
deal is, but it seems to be working now. So
we use a different system and it sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think, yeah, I mean it's it's okay, it's okay.
I think we could do better.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
There's so many different advance We were just talking to
the engineering department man three different ways, so you could
be anywhere doing anything and it's just so easy to
dial in and be wherever you need to. We're one
step away from teleporting, I believe. Yeah, they sell these
a Tired Game and Best Buy. But you know those
little things they are called broadcasters, a little mixing boards
that a lot of podcasts and you love a road
(07:29):
caster Rich And they have an app now that you
can basically just download to that and you hit the
button and then you'll be connected to us.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right through the roadcasters. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
The fact that kids today can go into a target
and I see this at my target, all the road
caster stuff. I'm like, that is incredible. Like as a kid,
I literally had a cassette tape reporter and that's it.
You are lacking microphone and all this crazy stuff that
like sound broadcast live from your home or your phone.
(08:00):
I just find this stuff so incredible for creativity and
letting anyone find their voice and just doing what we
do but like anywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, the future is here.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You can subscribe to Rich's free newsletter if you go
to Rich on tech dot tv that's Rich on tech
dot tv and find them on social media at rich
on tech. I mean, the branding is strong it's rich
on tech just everywhere and for everything. All right, So
what's happening in tech that we should know about. We
did mention to Seabas he has a Samsung, he's a
he's an Android guy. We talked about the foldable phones.
(08:31):
How'd you like that?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Well, I've been using it for the past week now,
and I will say it is the most compelling foldable
phone I've ever used. So Samsung, you know, they've got
two of them. They've got the fold, which opens up
like a book. Then they've got the flip, which opens
up like the old school motorol eraser kind of phone. Yeah,
when it comes to the fold, they made it a
lot wider on the outside screen, which means it's actually
(08:55):
usable now. It wasn't before to me. And then when
you open it up, you get this eight inch display inside,
which is like having a mini tablet in your pocket
at all times. Plus they improve the camera, so now
they've got the two hundred megapixel camera on it the
downsides and by the way, you don't really take your
pictures of that two hundred megapixel camera just sounds good.
Most of the time it's in twelve megapixel mode. Just FYI.
(09:19):
The downside is really that the battery is not improved,
so it does draw battery pretty quickly. It's got no
spen support, which means you can't use a stylus with it,
which is weird for productivity device. And the price, I
mean this thing is two thousand dollars, which is like
one hundred dollars price increase. It's like a mini computer
that you're paying for in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's a hell now for me. Don you don't know?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Yeah, well, my thing with the flips, these expandable things
is what does that extra screen space actually honestly give
you for something you would do on a daily basis anything.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
See, That's what I'm struggling with. And I've been carrying
this thing for a week and I'm like, okay, it
is really thin. So don't get me wrong. It they've
gotten into a place where it's like you can carry it,
it's easy, it's simple. But I'm like, why do I
need a tablet on me at all times? Now? I
get it, when I'm traveling, I'm on the plane, I
want to watch a movie, fine, but like most of
the time, I just bring an iPad for that and
it's a much bigger screen by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So that's the thing, is like, what is the.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Use case scenario of having a foldable Now, I'll tell
you with the flip that's the one that's sort of
the Motorol eraser style. They made the outside screen on
that really big, so now it's the entire screen, and
then the inside screen feels like a regular phone. The
cool thing about that one is that you're taking your
pictures with the best cameras at all times. So the
(10:36):
outside lenses are the ones that you use for your
selfies and also your regular photos. So if you can imagine,
you're always using the best cameras on that phone because
of the way that phone is situated as a foldable.
So in that case, if you're a creator, that might
be an advantage. But to be completely honest, ninety nine
point nine percent of the creators I know are using
(10:57):
the iPhone because of the saw where and the workflow
that that offers.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
But that is a thing with the iPhone where the
front camera is trash.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It is trash.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
So did you see a lot of people they buy
those screens that they can stick on the back so
they see themselves when they're recording with the good camera
on the back, and I think those go for like
thirty bucks or something.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I use my Apple Watch, so there's a little you know,
camera app on there, so you basically can frame up
your shot with your Apple Watch.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh wow, yeah, so Gina that that's what you need.
Because Gina's true is a content cream by content content
selfie crea.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Exactly, Gina, you do take the best selfies everything. How
did she get that good show?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Now here's the question. I'm sitting here now here, I
am sitting there now here, I am smiling.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Okay, So question, it's just a documentation of everyone out there,
just showing how much they're aging.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Right. So the Coffee Table book come out.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Very soon and it's exclusive just for you. So why
doesn't Apple care that with so many people taking selfies
and stuff, why don't they care about the front facing
camera like at all?
Speaker 8 (12:07):
It's a good question. You know, Apple is very slow
to change anything on the iPhone, and I think that
so far, I haven't really heard a lot of people
not getting an iPhone because the selfie cameras trash.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know how most people they will upgrade.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Its slaves to our Apple.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean they're not most people are not using their
phone for either content creation or selfies. They're using it
for email, for checking social media and doing things like that.
But they're the majority of people.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yeah, but they were taking If they're taking a picture
or something, they're taking a picture of something that they're
looking at, not a picture of themselves.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I would think that Apple would know enough to know
that most of their people that buy that stuff are
narcissists and they want a better camera.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, well that's a certain segment. Yeah, exactly right. When
we're rich on tech, What else is going on in
tech this week?
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Oh, this is really interesting. So you've heard of Google
and I this is sort of like their answer to
chatchy BT. They've got this really uncanny feature that takes
a photo that you took, speaking of pictures, and it
animates it into an eight second video.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Have you seen these things? Incredible?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Shared one, but yeah, it is incredible. I took a
picture of the studio at k T l A and which,
by the way, I got in trouble for. They yelled
at me for taking a picture without informing someone that
sounds like corporate worked here fifteen years. So I uploaded
this picture to Now I'm gonna get in trouble for
I didn't realize. Well, they do have a big, big
(13:38):
sign this is no pictures without prior authorization. But I'm like,
I work here, I've taken a thousand pictures inside. But
they're like, you have to notify someone.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm like, what, Like, what are they so worried that
anybody's going to see.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Well off the anchors, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But if nobody's like, I don't know that sounds they
were in the shot.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Let me ask you this point.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Is rich on distinct because I've seen when I it
up my iPhone every once in a while to do
those little memory videos and.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It puts together for you, Like, so what's the difference
because you.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Said, you know, it animates it, So I mean there
is an animation element to it, But are people now
blinking and moving and things in these static photos?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now? With these, uh, the Gemini, you can.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Make you can you can make it do whatever you want.
So for that picture I took in the studio, I said,
make an elephant walking through the studio. And by the way,
there's sound, so it not only makes an elephant walking
through the studio, but it makes the elephant sound I
took a picture that I had it from London, and
I said, make a fluffy creature walking through the streets.
So it takes that still picture and it literally animated
(14:38):
all not it's not animation. It like actually makes the
cars move like they look real, the people moving, you
hear the sounds of the city. And then this giant
fluffy creature walking through That was really I wanted it
to be cute. I did a Spider Man one, but
I don't want to share that in social mediacase I
don't want the you know, the irk of all the
copyright police coming to that one.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I did see your animated video the creature thing, and
it looked so realistic.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It's magic.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Yeah, it's there's no there's no artifacts, there's no it
doesn't look wonky, your cartoonish.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
And could you do this with a dead relative that
you miss and you want to see a video that
you never even had?
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Great question, Yes you can. I tested it with me
and my wife. We had a picture of us on
the beach and I was like, oh, let me just
see if I can animate this. And I said, you know,
we were kissing on the beach. It was like a
wedding picture we took a long time ago, and sure
enough it animated. It made us kiss. But the scariest
part if you're looking to the side. When we both
looked at the camera, like it animated us looking at
(15:34):
the camera, it was the scariest face I'd ever seen.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Yeah, because Greg has a picture of his grandma in
a bathing suit and he really wants a video of it.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Totally.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That's it now for talking to us.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Right, I think Google specifically prohibits that.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Let's talk about apps for a second, because I know
you have some information the new Rotten Tomatoes app.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I thought this was really cool because I recently I'm
always on the hunt for like an app that can
keep all the movies that every single person in the
world tells me is so good that I need to watch. Yeah,
so I keep a list of those. I use an
app called Just Watch, which I really like. But Rotten
Tomatoes is really where it's at.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Right.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Everyone knows Rotten Tomatoes, they know the scores. So after
twenty five years of Rotten Tomatoes, they finally launched their
own mobile app, which I can't believe it took them
that long. So you can download it right now. On iPhone.
There's an Android version coming soon. But it's got all
the things you want. It's got the news, got the scores.
You can leave your own ratings. But the coolest thing
is that you can build a watch list of the
(16:32):
movies you want to see, and you can get all
that rich data about the fresh or rotten scores. All
this stuff is very confusing to me because I always
thought rotten tomatoes. I was like, that's a horrible movie
if you have rotten tomatoes. Oh wait, no, that's good.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Yeah right, yeah, I'm not a big fan of Rotten
Tomatoes in general. Why I'm making it just easier because
it's just people bitching, complaining and nippicking, just movies.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It's just a movie. But it is not just a
critical it's not just a critics of the audience scores.
The audience.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, people who saw oh even though it's kind of
a dumb, stupid comedy, they still went and saw it
and then just to get their their take on it.
After that, the audit, the critics score, forget it. I'm
with you, like, I don't let it. I don't look
at those ever.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
The audience score though, check that out and I'll given
more access for people to comment that never goes well.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Well, the Rotten Tomatoes app is available now. One thing
I wanted to bring up before we get to the
gadget of the Week we had we had mentioned on
the air. I saw your video you went to the
Disney thing the the uh either they took a tour
of Disney Imagineering the lightsabers. Explain to me how exactly
that worked, Like something comes up out of the lightsaber, right,
like to create the actual quote or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
So I went behind the scenes at Disney Imagineering and
this was one of the things they let us try.
And it was just the coolest thing ever. Because I
don't know about you guys, but I had one of
these fake lightsabers as a kid that you would move
it around and make that sound.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It was just plastic. It was a big plastic stick
basically sword.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Yeah, but I had that cool woosh sound you know.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
This was a I mean they told me the price.
I don't know if I can say it, because they
said I was like, oh, can I buy this? And
the guy said, well, if you have fifty thousand dollars
you can. I was like, wait, what, So I don't
know if that don't quote me.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
On that price.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to say that.
But it was a it was a heavy piece of
machinery and when you press the button, it would make
this loud sound and this somehow lightsaber like wand would
come out of the top. And the best I can
describe it is it looked like some sort of lit
up sort of plastic that would like come out of
the WAND. But I couldn't figure out how it was
(18:34):
coming out so like properly, like it came out like
on a nice smooth motion. It was like it was
like stiff when it came. I didn't want to like
explain it that way, but it's really like a bunch
of guys came up with this concept clearly, because you
press the button, it shoots out, you press it and
(18:55):
it retracts into the WAND and it just it hooks
so real even close up.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Up.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, it was really cool. I mean your video of
it it made me sold it to me. I mean,
it looks super cool. It probably just telescopes out right.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah, but that's the thing, like you, like I've seen
like the telescoping cups you know, like those little water
cups when you're like banking. It wasn't that technology because
it didn't look like a telescoping thing. When it came out,
it looked like it had always been there.
Speaker 9 (19:19):
Yeah, I didn't have the ridges it's inflating or like.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Yeah, it was really weird and they wouldn't you know.
I had like ten seconds or twenty seconds with it. It
wasn't very long where I can sit there and dissect
it while.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We're sitting here talking to rich on Tech, rich DeMuro.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
You can find them on social media at rich on
Tech and your gadget of the week?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
What do you got?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You know what I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
It sounds dorky, but this is something well, actually, I
don't know do you want me to go with the
I have two, so I don't know which one you
want me to go.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Once you give us too, let's get nuts.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Okay, well one you gotta it's kind of a companion piece.
You gotta go to my Instagram at rich on Tech.
But this is one of the most common questions I get.
People do not want to pay for the cloud for
some reason, so they want to put their photos on
a USB drive. From their phone. And so I got
this USB drive. It's from PNY. It's called the Duo
Link and you basically plug it into the bottom of
(20:14):
your phone, and it turns out you can copy photos
right from your iPhone or your Samsung to this device.
And one they sent me is super duper fast, like
it's like the fastest USB you can get. And if
you look at it, it's just a flask drive, but
it has USBC on one end and then the old
school USBA on the other, So you can download your
stuff right from your phone and you can plug it
(20:36):
into your computer put your photos there, or you can
clear out space in your phone. But I tested this
with both iPhone and Android and it's easy, and yes,
you can copy your photos from your phone. And of
course people are going nuts over on my Instagram because
they're like, oh, you're saving me so much money. But
you have to be careful. If you're putting stuff on
a flask drive, that means you need your photos in
another place as well, because if you lose that flask drive,
(20:59):
it's game over.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
A lot of people don't feel comfortable like uploading their
personal photos to a cloud somewhere that because they don't
really understand the security or the concept or whatever, especially
all those nudes, you know what I mean. So you
just want to you want to keep those local, like
on a flash drive. It looked pretty cool and it
looked very simple, and I couldn't believe that. I didn't
think that would have been possible earlier, because when you think,
oh you can download to UH or you know, when
(21:20):
you connect your phone to the computer, that'd be I
mean you just connecting it to a hard drive, which
is what this is essentially.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I have a stupid question. So you have to have
a specific hard drive or flash drive.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
It can't just be like one you randomly, you know,
just a regular one that you buy even at a
drug store.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
No great question, And you can use any flash drive.
The difference is the speed and also the quality.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Got it.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
If you're getting one of these random flash drives around
your house that you have a it may not plug
into the bottom of your phone if it's not US
B C and B. If it's not US B, I
don't want to get two dorky, But the like three
point two is like the fastest. If it doesn't have that,
you're not going to get You're going to take forever
to transfer things. Got it, But I was able to
transfer no joke, like two thousand videos yesterday just to
try it, and it did it. And like it took
(22:04):
about five minutes, but it did it. That's kind of okay.
The other gadget, and this is something I tested when
I was in Mexico City. This is a portable carbon
monoxide detector. I've been bringing this to all of my
hotel rooms. It's a little digital device. You set it
up in your hotel room. It's battery powered. It detects
not only carbon monoxide. It shows you on the screen
(22:26):
you know if there's any parts per million detected. Three
clear lights. It's got green, red, and yellow depending on
the CO levels. We've heard all these stories about people
going to different hotel rooms and like passing out and dying.
So it's one of these things I don't think is
going to happen, but it's like for forty bucks on Amazon,
why not bring this with you? And now I just
set it up in my hotel room when I get there.
(22:47):
Lasts all week, and it also tells you the temperature
and humidity as well.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, super cool. Mine would figure hotels already have those
in the room.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
No, those those stories every once in a while, example,
are at some tropical resort somewhere and.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Wake up.
Speaker 4 (23:03):

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Guitar our Tech update from him. Shane Gillis hosted the SPS. Yeah,
a lot of people are talking about it. I've only
seen Shane Gillis and clips online really yeah, like doing
like kill Tony or you know, on Bert's cooking podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know, huh.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've never seen his stand up and I really want
to watch it.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I have.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I find myself liking him more and more.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
I have friends that are hardcore, like they'll go sit
in the back just to see him perform.
Speaker 7 (01:11):
So I went to one of Burd's shows and Shane
was a surprise guest. Yeah, and people just lost it.
I mean, it's so good.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
It's him, it's Tony Hingecliff, it's these guys. Because I
told you a thousand times my favorite comedy is like,
the more inappropriate, the better. I don't care if it's racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic,
equal opportunity, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Matter what it is. Like, the more inappropriate is the
funnier I find it. Well, he's your guy.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
Oh yeah, but he has a TV show called Tires
that's on Netflix. Yeah, that is so funny.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's good and two seasons. Well, I didn't watch the SP's.
I have some clips from Shane Gillis, and he's getting
kind of mixed reviews. There are people who thought it
was really great, but then there was like a bunch
of Shane Gillis type jokes. Oh really, because I've seen
a lot of.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Positive there is, there is a lot of positive, but
they're you know, based on some of the jokes that
he made. Of course, there are people who are yeah, sure, yeah,
here's here's a couple of.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Clipstani couldn't make it tonight, man. I hope his interpreter
didn't bet that he was going to be here all right.
Is a once in a generation talent. No one's been
able to do what he does at so many positions.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Pitcher, hitter and Bookie.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Hey, Bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend
before bedtime.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Shouldar ray Leonards here?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Ell?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, shouldar ray? You're the man.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
But what in ten years, Jake Paul is going to
try to knock you out, So.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Take it easy.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I thought the Belichick joke was funny. Yeah, here's one
that they got some groans and people are like, oh,
that's an appropriate out.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host
this award show so that I could capture Adam Silver
because Joe thinks he's an alien, and Donald Trump wanted
me to year to capture Juan Soto for the same reason.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
It's an alien joke.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But we were boot up there.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Dude, shut up, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
It was fine. I didn't write it. Actually, there was
supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but as it
got deleted, must have probably deleted itself, right, probably never existed.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Actually, let's move on as a country and ignore that.
That's good.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, he made some Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Clark, she and I have a lot in common.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
We're both whites from the Midwest who have nailed a
bunch of threes. When Caitlyn Clark retires from the w NBA,
she's going to work at a waffle house so she
can continue doing what she loves most.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Fist fighting black women.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's good. Okay, here you are, that's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, he crushed it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And then somebody put together like it was like a
like a supercut of the groaners these. Okay, so obviously
there was the alien one that got a groan, the
Caitlin Clark waffle house one. I've seen a couple of
people do a couple of little write ups on. Now
here's here's the supercut of the groaners.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Megan her Pino could not make it tonight. Nice.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Now we're gonna pretend she's a good time all right.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Simone Biles is four foot eight and has seven gold medals.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
She's short and has a lot of gold.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
When she's not competing, she leads a quiet life at
the base.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Of a rainbow. So celefrikan joke.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
If you tell Simona riddle and she can't answer it,
she has to give you all of her gold medals.
That was the best one. I'm not trashing Bill Belichick.
First off, he's seventy three years old. He's dating a
hot twenty four year old and people are criticizing him.
What happened to this country? He used to be a
great country. He won six super Bowls. Yeah, he's dating
(05:08):
a hot twenty four year old. Maybe if you guys
won six super Bowls, you wouldn't be sitting next to
a fat, ugly dog wife.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So good, it's so good. It's so good. Yeah, so funny.
Shane Gills killing it roll.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Yes again, watch his TV show Tires Yet Tires?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
All right, I'll write that down on that place. And
and it's it's what.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
It's kind of like, uh a shot, kind of like
the office, but it's a it's about him working at
a tire shop.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Oh okay, yeah, all right, so it's a scripted tires
A cool checking out Shane Gills.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Shout up, shout out to Shane Gills.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, he started Tires.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I gotta restart it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Richard me or I believe is ready to go.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
We're gonna talk to you rich On Tech, he hosts
a nationally syndicated radio show. It's consumer tech stuff, so
these are not the people getting into like the weeds. Yeah,
on all the technical details and stuff. It's really usable
stuff hardware, phones, whatever, and then also software apps, different
things that you might find interesting or useful.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And Rich is a great guy. We love talking tech
with Rich. All right, welcome back to everybody, by time
to talk to our friend Rich DeMuro. Richie is the
host the rich On Tech radio show, nationally syndicated across
the country. Also, he is the KTLA Channel five tech
(06:40):
reporter and also our go to tech correspondence Rich DeMuro.
Rich Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning you guy. Morning.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Now, it's so funny with the tech guy. We have
this ongoing issue with you dialing into the studio.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, what's going on.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
It's so weird, you know, I don't know what the
deal is, but it seems to be working now. So
we use a different system and it sounds pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think, yeah, I mean it's it's okay, it's okay.
I think we could do better.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
There's so many different advance We were just talking to
the engineering department man three different ways, so you could
be anywhere doing anything and it's just so easy to
dial in and be wherever you need to. We're one
step away from teleporting, I believe. Yeah, they sell these
a Tired Game and Best Buy. But you know those
little things they are called broadcasters, a little mixing boards
that a lot of podcasts and you love a road
(07:29):
caster Rich And they have an app now that you
can basically just download to that and you hit the
button and then you'll be connected to us.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right through the roadcasters. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
The fact that kids today can go into a target
and I see this at my target, all the road
caster stuff. I'm like, that is incredible. Like as a kid,
I literally had a cassette tape reporter and that's it.
You are lacking microphone and all this crazy stuff that
like sound broadcast live from your home or your phone.
(08:00):
I just find this stuff so incredible for creativity and
letting anyone find their voice and just doing what we
do but like anywhere.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah, the future is here.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You can subscribe to Rich's free newsletter if you go
to Rich on tech dot tv that's Rich on tech
dot tv and find them on social media at rich
on tech. I mean, the branding is strong it's rich
on tech just everywhere and for everything. All right, So
what's happening in tech that we should know about. We
did mention to Seabas he has a Samsung, he's a
he's an Android guy. We talked about the foldable phones.
(08:31):
How'd you like that?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Well, I've been using it for the past week now,
and I will say it is the most compelling foldable
phone I've ever used. So Samsung, you know, they've got
two of them. They've got the fold, which opens up
like a book. Then they've got the flip, which opens
up like the old school motorol eraser kind of phone. Yeah,
when it comes to the fold, they made it a
lot wider on the outside screen, which means it's actually
(08:55):
usable now. It wasn't before to me. And then when
you open it up, you get this eight inch display inside,
which is like having a mini tablet in your pocket
at all times. Plus they improve the camera, so now
they've got the two hundred megapixel camera on it the
downsides and by the way, you don't really take your
pictures of that two hundred megapixel camera just sounds good.
Most of the time it's in twelve megapixel mode. Just FYI.
(09:19):
The downside is really that the battery is not improved,
so it does draw battery pretty quickly. It's got no
spen support, which means you can't use a stylus with it,
which is weird for productivity device. And the price, I
mean this thing is two thousand dollars, which is like
one hundred dollars price increase. It's like a mini computer
that you're paying for in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's a hell now for me. Don you don't know?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Yeah, well, my thing with the flips, these expandable things
is what does that extra screen space actually honestly give
you for something you would do on a daily basis anything.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
See, That's what I'm struggling with. And I've been carrying
this thing for a week and I'm like, okay, it
is really thin. So don't get me wrong. It they've
gotten into a place where it's like you can carry it,
it's easy, it's simple. But I'm like, why do I
need a tablet on me at all times? Now? I
get it, when I'm traveling, I'm on the plane, I
want to watch a movie, fine, but like most of
the time, I just bring an iPad for that and
it's a much bigger screen by the way.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So that's the thing, is like, what is the.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Use case scenario of having a foldable Now, I'll tell
you with the flip that's the one that's sort of
the Motorol eraser style. They made the outside screen on
that really big, so now it's the entire screen, and
then the inside screen feels like a regular phone. The
cool thing about that one is that you're taking your
pictures with the best cameras at all times. So the
(10:36):
outside lenses are the ones that you use for your
selfies and also your regular photos. So if you can imagine,
you're always using the best cameras on that phone because
of the way that phone is situated as a foldable.
So in that case, if you're a creator, that might
be an advantage. But to be completely honest, ninety nine
point nine percent of the creators I know are using
(10:57):
the iPhone because of the saw where and the workflow
that that offers.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
But that is a thing with the iPhone where the
front camera is trash.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It is trash.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
So did you see a lot of people they buy
those screens that they can stick on the back so
they see themselves when they're recording with the good camera
on the back, and I think those go for like
thirty bucks or something.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I use my Apple Watch, so there's a little you know,
camera app on there, so you basically can frame up
your shot with your Apple Watch.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh wow, yeah, so Gina that that's what you need.
Because Gina's true is a content cream by content content
selfie crea.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Exactly, Gina, you do take the best selfies everything. How
did she get that good show?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Now here's the question. I'm sitting here now here, I
am sitting there now here, I am smiling.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Okay, So question, it's just a documentation of everyone out there,
just showing how much they're aging.
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Right. So the Coffee Table book come out.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Very soon and it's exclusive just for you. So why
doesn't Apple care that with so many people taking selfies
and stuff, why don't they care about the front facing
camera like at all?
Speaker 8 (12:07):
It's a good question. You know, Apple is very slow
to change anything on the iPhone, and I think that
so far, I haven't really heard a lot of people
not getting an iPhone because the selfie cameras trash.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You know how most people they will upgrade.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Its slaves to our Apple.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I mean they're not most people are not using their
phone for either content creation or selfies. They're using it
for email, for checking social media and doing things like that.
But they're the majority of people.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Yeah, but they were taking If they're taking a picture
or something, they're taking a picture of something that they're
looking at, not a picture of themselves.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I would think that Apple would know enough to know
that most of their people that buy that stuff are
narcissists and they want a better camera.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, well that's a certain segment. Yeah, exactly right. When
we're rich on tech, What else is going on in
tech this week?
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Oh, this is really interesting. So you've heard of Google
and I this is sort of like their answer to
chatchy BT. They've got this really uncanny feature that takes
a photo that you took, speaking of pictures, and it
animates it into an eight second video.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Have you seen these things? Incredible?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Shared one, but yeah, it is incredible. I took a
picture of the studio at k T l A and which,
by the way, I got in trouble for. They yelled
at me for taking a picture without informing someone that
sounds like corporate worked here fifteen years. So I uploaded
this picture to Now I'm gonna get in trouble for
I didn't realize. Well, they do have a big, big
(13:38):
sign this is no pictures without prior authorization. But I'm like,
I work here, I've taken a thousand pictures inside. But
they're like, you have to notify someone.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm like, what, Like, what are they so worried that
anybody's going to see.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Well off the anchors, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
But if nobody's like, I don't know that sounds they
were in the shot.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Let me ask you this point.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Is rich on distinct because I've seen when I it
up my iPhone every once in a while to do
those little memory videos and.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
It puts together for you, Like, so what's the difference
because you.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Said, you know, it animates it, So I mean there
is an animation element to it, But are people now
blinking and moving and things in these static photos?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Now? With these, uh, the Gemini, you can.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Make you can you can make it do whatever you want.
So for that picture I took in the studio, I said,
make an elephant walking through the studio. And by the way,
there's sound, so it not only makes an elephant walking
through the studio, but it makes the elephant sound I
took a picture that I had it from London, and
I said, make a fluffy creature walking through the streets.
So it takes that still picture and it literally animated
(14:38):
all not it's not animation. It like actually makes the
cars move like they look real, the people moving, you
hear the sounds of the city. And then this giant
fluffy creature walking through That was really I wanted it
to be cute. I did a Spider Man one, but
I don't want to share that in social mediacase I
don't want the you know, the irk of all the
copyright police coming to that one.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
I did see your animated video the creature thing, and
it looked so realistic.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It's magic.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Yeah, it's there's no there's no artifacts, there's no it
doesn't look wonky, your cartoonish.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
And could you do this with a dead relative that
you miss and you want to see a video that
you never even had?
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Great question, Yes you can. I tested it with me
and my wife. We had a picture of us on
the beach and I was like, oh, let me just
see if I can animate this. And I said, you know,
we were kissing on the beach. It was like a
wedding picture we took a long time ago, and sure
enough it animated. It made us kiss. But the scariest
part if you're looking to the side. When we both
looked at the camera, like it animated us looking at
(15:34):
the camera, it was the scariest face I'd ever seen.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Yeah, because Greg has a picture of his grandma in
a bathing suit and he really wants a video of it.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Totally.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
That's it now for talking to us.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Right, I think Google specifically prohibits that.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Let's talk about apps for a second, because I know
you have some information the new Rotten Tomatoes app.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
I thought this was really cool because I recently I'm
always on the hunt for like an app that can
keep all the movies that every single person in the
world tells me is so good that I need to watch. Yeah,
so I keep a list of those. I use an
app called Just Watch, which I really like. But Rotten
Tomatoes is really where it's at.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Right.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Everyone knows Rotten Tomatoes, they know the scores. So after
twenty five years of Rotten Tomatoes, they finally launched their
own mobile app, which I can't believe it took them
that long. So you can download it right now. On iPhone.
There's an Android version coming soon. But it's got all
the things you want. It's got the news, got the scores.
You can leave your own ratings. But the coolest thing
is that you can build a watch list of the
(16:32):
movies you want to see, and you can get all
that rich data about the fresh or rotten scores. All
this stuff is very confusing to me because I always
thought rotten tomatoes. I was like, that's a horrible movie
if you have rotten tomatoes. Oh wait, no, that's good.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Yeah right, yeah, I'm not a big fan of Rotten
Tomatoes in general. Why I'm making it just easier because
it's just people bitching, complaining and nippicking, just movies.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It's just a movie. But it is not just a
critical it's not just a critics of the audience scores.
The audience.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Yeah, people who saw oh even though it's kind of
a dumb, stupid comedy, they still went and saw it
and then just to get their their take on it.
After that, the audit, the critics score, forget it. I'm
with you, like, I don't let it. I don't look
at those ever.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
The audience score though, check that out and I'll given
more access for people to comment that never goes well.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Well, the Rotten Tomatoes app is available now. One thing
I wanted to bring up before we get to the
gadget of the Week we had we had mentioned on
the air. I saw your video you went to the
Disney thing the the uh either they took a tour
of Disney Imagineering the lightsabers. Explain to me how exactly
that worked, Like something comes up out of the lightsaber, right,
like to create the actual quote or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
So I went behind the scenes at Disney Imagineering and
this was one of the things they let us try.
And it was just the coolest thing ever. Because I
don't know about you guys, but I had one of
these fake lightsabers as a kid that you would move
it around and make that sound.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
It was just plastic. It was a big plastic stick
basically sword.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
Yeah, but I had that cool woosh sound you know.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 8 (18:01):
This was a I mean they told me the price.
I don't know if I can say it, because they
said I was like, oh, can I buy this? And
the guy said, well, if you have fifty thousand dollars
you can. I was like, wait, what, So I don't
know if that don't quote me.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
On that price.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to say that.
But it was a it was a heavy piece of
machinery and when you press the button, it would make
this loud sound and this somehow lightsaber like wand would
come out of the top. And the best I can
describe it is it looked like some sort of lit
up sort of plastic that would like come out of
the WAND. But I couldn't figure out how it was
(18:34):
coming out so like properly, like it came out like
on a nice smooth motion. It was like it was
like stiff when it came. I didn't want to like
explain it that way, but it's really like a bunch
of guys came up with this concept clearly, because you
press the button, it shoots out, you press it and
(18:55):
it retracts into the WAND and it just it hooks
so real even close up.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Up.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, it was really cool. I mean your video of
it it made me sold it to me. I mean,
it looks super cool. It probably just telescopes out right.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Yeah, but that's the thing, like you, like I've seen
like the telescoping cups you know, like those little water
cups when you're like banking. It wasn't that technology because
it didn't look like a telescoping thing. When it came out,
it looked like it had always been there.
Speaker 9 (19:19):
Yeah, I didn't have the ridges it's inflating or like.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Yeah, it was really weird and they wouldn't you know.
I had like ten seconds or twenty seconds with it. It
wasn't very long where I can sit there and dissect
it while.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
We're sitting here talking to rich on Tech, rich DeMuro.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
You can find them on social media at rich on
Tech and your gadget of the week?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
What do you got?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You know what I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
It sounds dorky, but this is something well, actually, I
don't know do you want me to go with the
I have two, so I don't know which one you
want me to go.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Once you give us too, let's get nuts.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Okay, well one you gotta it's kind of a companion piece.
You gotta go to my Instagram at rich on Tech.
But this is one of the most common questions I get.
People do not want to pay for the cloud for
some reason, so they want to put their photos on
a USB drive. From their phone. And so I got
this USB drive. It's from PNY. It's called the Duo
Link and you basically plug it into the bottom of
(20:14):
your phone, and it turns out you can copy photos
right from your iPhone or your Samsung to this device.
And one they sent me is super duper fast, like
it's like the fastest USB you can get. And if
you look at it, it's just a flask drive, but
it has USBC on one end and then the old
school USBA on the other, So you can download your
stuff right from your phone and you can plug it
(20:36):
into your computer put your photos there, or you can
clear out space in your phone. But I tested this
with both iPhone and Android and it's easy, and yes,
you can copy your photos from your phone. And of
course people are going nuts over on my Instagram because
they're like, oh, you're saving me so much money. But
you have to be careful. If you're putting stuff on
a flask drive, that means you need your photos in
another place as well, because if you lose that flask drive,
(20:59):
it's game over.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
A lot of people don't feel comfortable like uploading their
personal photos to a cloud somewhere that because they don't
really understand the security or the concept or whatever, especially
all those nudes, you know what I mean. So you
just want to you want to keep those local, like
on a flash drive. It looked pretty cool and it
looked very simple, and I couldn't believe that. I didn't
think that would have been possible earlier, because when you think,
oh you can download to UH or you know, when
(21:20):
you connect your phone to the computer, that'd be I
mean you just connecting it to a hard drive, which
is what this is essentially.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I have a stupid question. So you have to have
a specific hard drive or flash drive.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
It can't just be like one you randomly, you know,
just a regular one that you buy even at a
drug store.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
No great question, And you can use any flash drive.
The difference is the speed and also the quality.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Got it.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
If you're getting one of these random flash drives around
your house that you have a it may not plug
into the bottom of your phone if it's not US
B C and B. If it's not US B, I
don't want to get two dorky, But the like three
point two is like the fastest. If it doesn't have that,
you're not going to get You're going to take forever
to transfer things. Got it, But I was able to
transfer no joke, like two thousand videos yesterday just to
try it, and it did it. And like it took
(22:04):
about five minutes, but it did it. That's kind of okay.
The other gadget, and this is something I tested when
I was in Mexico City. This is a portable carbon
monoxide detector. I've been bringing this to all of my
hotel rooms. It's a little digital device. You set it
up in your hotel room. It's battery powered. It detects
not only carbon monoxide. It shows you on the screen
(22:26):
you know if there's any parts per million detected. Three
clear lights. It's got green, red, and yellow depending on
the CO levels. We've heard all these stories about people
going to different hotel rooms and like passing out and dying.
So it's one of these things I don't think is
going to happen, but it's like for forty bucks on Amazon,
why not bring this with you? And now I just
set it up in my hotel room when I get there.
(22:47):
Lasts all week, and it also tells you the temperature
and humidity as well.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, super cool. Mine would figure hotels already have those
in the room.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
No, those those stories every once in a while, example,
are at some tropical resort somewhere and.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Wake up.
Speaker 4 (23:03):

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I have a clip.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Let me get the clip.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Okay, stand by, here we go. So this this just
played out, This has been like an ongoing it's been
an ongoing situation where high profile case out of Boston,
Massachusetts State Police officer Michael Procter is his name. He
(23:51):

murder case. And the woman at who is being accused,
Karen Reed. Yes, oh my gosh, this is great. So

killed her cop boyfriend. I'm she did not.
