Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is time for Rich Tomorrow and our tech segment
Tech Tuesday. Rich is here every Saturday from eleven am
to two pm. He's on KTLA every day and you
can follow on Instagram at Rich on Tech and his
website is rich on tech dot tv.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
And good morning Rich, Good morning to Bill. Okay, we
are in the.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Middle of prime days at on the website. And I
took advantage yesterday already. Yep, yep, I took advantage yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is true. By the way, I'm not this is
not a joke.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I bought a bagel cutter bagel slicer for sixteen dollars
normally sixteen dollars and seventy four cents. Oh wow, Yeah, no,
it's impressive. And now I use it this morning. And
here's something about the bagel cutters, not that you know,
but I'm going to give everybody an inside scoop here,
(00:55):
and that is you can't have real soft bagels because
if you have soft bagels, they sort of crunch. You
need a little hard bagels when using a bagel cutter.
But that's neither here nor there. Let's talk about the
big deal days. What are we looking at?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Deal wise?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, so I've been scouring Amazon all morning and the
deals are there, So everyone says, hey, you know, Rich,
what should I buy? How should I buy it? My
advice is this, If you need a bagel slicer, go
for it. If you don't, don't be searching Amazon all
day just aimlessly for stuff to spend your money on,
because it's just not going to work out for you.
(01:30):
So again, if you followed my advice before, I always say,
put the stuff you need in your cart. So I
had all my stuff in my cart this morning and
I looked at it. A lot of the prices dropped,
and so I purchased a bunch of stuff that I
was going to get anyway, and it was on my list.
But it's just stuff that I was watching. So that's
my number one advice. Look for the things that you
need around the house, the stuff you reorder, even if
(01:51):
it's lame, just you know today it's probably on sale,
so go ahead and get it. With that said, I
have been compiling a list of stuff that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I would buy on Prime Day.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I've put out my website rich on tech dot TV,
and you know, I'm looking at the electronics. So most
of the products that I'm posting on there. Actually all
of them are at their lowest prices ever. Now, when
I say that, that doesn't mean they've never been that
price before. But Amazon, if you look at the price
history on these products, which every single one of them,
(02:22):
I go through and make sure I look at the
price history, typically has gone on sale to the lowest
price just one time before, and that is in July
during their previous prime day. So the prices are really
good today. Air Pods ninety bucks, I Pad two hundred
and eighty dollars. Tiny bluetooth speaker from JBL that I
like twenty five dollars. Apple Watch two hundred and seventy
(02:44):
nine dollars, air Tag some of the lowest prices ever.
Right now, let's see what else do I have here?
Belkan's portable charger lowest price ever, twenty seven bucks. You
gotta have one of those in your bag so that
you can charge your phone on the go. I've got another.
Let's see beat USBC cables. They just came out with these.
They come in great colors. They're usually nineteen bucks. Rare
(03:06):
sale on a beach product twelve dollars. My favorite earbuds
under fifty dollars. They usually sell for seventy three, so
forty seven bucks for cheap earbuds is a great deal.
I've got some laptops. People are asking about laptops. Those
are a fantastic deal. We're talking in a Lenovo for
five hundred bucks and HP for five point fifty. So
(03:28):
again it really comes down to do you need these things?
But if you do, they are at some of their
lowest prices of the season, and that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
All right. So two questions. Question number one, I look
at TVs.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
The price of TVs is sort of the bell weather
of prices in general, and of course the price of TVs.
I mean, you can get a what eighty five inch
TV today for six hundred bucks. Has the price of
the Imax TV gone down to under fifty dollars? Yet?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
If TVs keep getting cheaper. But here's the thing. These
manufacturers are smart because what they do is they keep
adding new display technologies. So although you can get a
TV for very cheap, you can go to your best
buy and it's super duper cheap. They are usually using
the older display technologies on those screens. What does that
mean that screen is not going to be as bright,
(04:22):
the colors are not going to pop as much, You're
not going to have as many viewing angles from the sides.
All that really doesn't matter because a lot of people
are upgrading from an older TV anyway, so everything is
going to look better. But if you're looking at the
high end TVs, those are going to have the best displays.
And right now, the name of the game is that
each individual pixel is lit by itself, which means colors
(04:45):
just look way better. They can control the brightness and
the contrast and all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, when you bring you know, when you bring a
TV home, you're not comparing it to other TVs. I mean,
you know, I don't buy expensive TVs, middle of the
road TVs. I'm not going to spend two thousand dollars
for a sixty five inch TV, and I'm not going
to spend two hundred dollars for it. But in reality,
you go home and you sort of that's your TV.
(05:12):
I mean, you're you're not comparing TV to TV. So
that's one. The other thing is, as I'm joking about
the Imax TVs, have those big, big TVs, are they
dropping in price and how big are they getting?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They are dropping in price. I mean I'm seeing over
one hundred inch TVs at the shows that I've been
to lately, so those are still very expensive, but considering
I mean, you can get one hundred inch the TV.
I have the U eight from High Sense, which is
a fantastic value. You can get a one hundred inch
TV deliver It's your Home for thirty five hundred dollars.
(05:51):
That is unheard of. You know, a couple of years
ago you can get a much more reasonable sixty five
inch for under one thousand. So I think TVs when
it comes to pursing those, they are definitely a better
price during Black Friday and when's it a Super Bowl?
So if you're on the fence about a TV, probably
wait just a little bit till Black Friday for better deals.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All right, Rich, some news on chat GPT you want
to share?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, this is actually really cool. I know that all
this AI stuff is a lot. We've been hearing so
much about it and it just continues to change on
a daily basis, but this is actually really neat. So
CHATCHBT is now interacting with various apps that we know
and love. So we're talking Booking dot Com, Canva Coursera, Expedia,
(06:41):
Zillo And what.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Does that mean.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It means that think about chat GBT as now a
front end way to ask questions of these other apps. So,
for instance, Zillow, what would you do. You'd go to
zilo dot com, You'd select the sliders. You'd say, I
want a house for under this price with this many
bedroom in this neighborhood, and then you look at the schools,
and then you further, you know, refine your filtering and
(07:05):
look at the houses with this. You can now just
stay inside the chat GBT chat box and just say, hey,
go search Zillow for homes under this price, walkable to
restaurants five you know, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and I
want it in a place that has a ten out
of ten school WHOA wait, what all that?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And yes, chat GBT.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Will return you the answers because it's doing the search
on your behalf. So why I think this is so
amazing is because it is getting to the future that
we were promised, which is talking to computers in natural
language and having them tell us the right answer back.
We've already seen that with chat GBT in information. Now
we're getting even further into that We've already seen.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That in two thousand and one in Space Odyssey, and
it's pretty scary stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So do you have to have the chat GPT app?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You download that, then what do you do is go
to the app and ask the question.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, so you can have the app, I don't. Yeah,
it's working on the app on my phone, it's working
on the desktop chatchybt dot com. But you can also
basically if you want to start this, you have to
say one of the names of the app, So just
say something like, hey check Zillo four or make me
a Instagram post in Canva that does this, or hey
(08:27):
find me hotels in Montreal that fit these criteria. So
and then it basically will ask you that first time
you mentioned that that term by name. It will say, okay,
do you want us to connect to your Canva account
or your Expedia account or your Zilo account. And they're
also adding other other properties as well, So we're talking Uber,
(08:47):
we're talking Target DoorDash, so you're gonna be able to
order you know, different items just by asking chatchybt. I mean,
this is really transformational when it comes to not just
the average person like me and you that they it's interesting,
But I think for accessibility reasons, this is going to
be huge that people that may not be able to
type as easily or may not be able to speak easily,
(09:10):
can now actually go into chat EBT and make these
commands in the natural language and get a response, and
not just a response, but also get action.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So at this point, for example, when I want information,
it's a hey, Siri a question and then I asked
the question whatever it is, So this would just be
just hace Chat GPT or I just go on the
app and just ask the question.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Curious as to how it works.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, So, I mean Siri is similar, but Siri is
very basic. If you said, hey, sirih go out and
find me homes in Michigan with five stars school and
you know, a Michelin Star restaurant within walking distance of
my front yard, Siri is gonna just your phone's just
going to blow up in your hands, you know, like
nothing's going to happen. Now, you do that same query
(10:01):
on Chat GBT with you know the addition of Zillo
now and all these things that they've got built in,
and it's actually getting it's taking all that rich information
that Zillo has in its database. And it's now tapping
into that and not just tapping into it, but it's
slicing and dicing and understanding it in a way that's
much smarter than just responding with thirty five times seven
(10:24):
is whatever the answer is. So it's just a it's
kind of a fundamental shift in the way we think
about computing, and it's a it's a future that many
people have always wanted where we just ask these machines
to do stuff and they do it. We don't have
to think about When we first got smart homes, it
would be like, Alexa, please turn on the lights in
(10:45):
you know, bedroom two, right, you had to do it
in a very standard, strict syntax that the whatever way
you programmed it. Now it's just like, hey, turn on
the lights in the bedroom and turn them off at
nine pm if you can, you know, that kind of thing.
So it's much more natural conversation. And I can't wait
to see where this goes.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, ways, and it's it's conversational reporting.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now. I'm a big fan of Ways, and I love
the fact that I can select which language or which
accent is coming off it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
My favorite is Scooby doo Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's true I mean they have a Scooby Do directional
uh you know voice instruction. Yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, no, it of me. I mean I think Amy King,
I think also does one of the voices on there.
I mean it's you can choose a bunch of Yeah,
it's a bunch of fun voices. They have, Santa, They've
got you know, they've done a bunch over the years.
But in ways is great because what is it's it's
community oriented. So when you report something, it helps other
drivers behind you. And one of those things is accidents
(11:47):
and road hazards. And this is a demo I saw
last year at Google in New York City. It's finally
coming out. But now when you go to report something,
so you still have to tap the screen, but when
you go to tap the screen, now you can just
say something actually like hey, there's a mattress in the road,
or there's a speed trap, or there's construction on the road,
or there's traffic right now, and AI will interpret what
(12:09):
you're saying and now feed that into the app and
alert the other drivers behind you. So I think it's
a win win for safety and it just makes life
a whole lot easier don't have to sit there and
look at the screen thinking what am I trying to
report here? You just say it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah. Well my question is with Ways, because it'll report
police car ahead, or traffic signal or.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Car on the road. Is it still there? Is it
not there?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I ignore that because I'm past that and I don't
care about anybody else driving. But it goes beyond that,
right do you simply say my kids?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, my kids love doing the reports when we're driving.
They're like, Dad, Dad, Okay, let's see in three hundred feet,
two hundred feet, pet fifty? Is it there?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
No, it's not there?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Press the button. So there are a lot of people
that like this. And by the way, Ways started out
as a gamified system, so it used to be when
you drove streets you earned like coins, like virtual coins.
But the whole thing about Ways is that this was
built from the ground up. They had none of their
own maps, so they would literally enlist people to drive neighborhoods,
(13:13):
and by you driving that neighborhood and collecting those little coins,
you are helping them build their mapping system. And of
course then Google bought them for billions of dollars and
the rest is history, but it's just it's a very
community based driving app, and I think that's what people
still like about it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, a couple of crazy as Ralies conceived of it,
and now there are a couple of very wealthy, crazy Israelis.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
To say the least.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
All Right, I love that you have the knowledge, Bill.
You have the knowledge, Bill, which I love, but you
also present it in a very different manner than I
would like. I yes, like, I know the Israelies came
up with it, but I probably would not have said
what you said.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
All right, Saturday morning, eleven to two pm. Rich is
live here on KFI on KTLA every single day, Instagram,
Rich on Tech Website, richon tech dot Tv, catch over

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Rich take care, Thanks, Bill, appreciate it.
It is time for Rich Tomorrow and our tech segment
Tech Tuesday. Rich is here every Saturday from eleven am
to two pm. He's on KTLA every day and you

Speaker 2 (00:16):
And good morning Rich, Good morning to Bill. Okay, we
are in the.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Middle of prime days at on the website. And I
took advantage yesterday already. Yep, yep, I took advantage yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
This is true. By the way, I'm not this is

do you want us to connect to your Canva account

(08:47):
we're talking Target DoorDash, so you're gonna be able to
order you know, different items just by asking chatchybt. I mean,
this is really transformational when it comes to not just
the average person like me and you that they it's interesting,
But I think for accessibility reasons, this is going to
be huge that people that may not be able to
type as easily or may not be able to speak easily,
(09:10):
can now actually go into chat EBT and make these
commands in the natural language and get a response, and
not just a response, but also get action.

the lights in the bedroom and turn them off at
nine pm if you can, you know, that kind of thing.
So it's much more natural conversation. And I can't wait
to see where this goes.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, ways, and it's it's conversational reporting.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now. I'm a big fan of Ways, and I love
the fact that I can select which language or which
accent is coming off it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
My favorite is Scooby doo Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's true I mean they have a Scooby Do directional
uh you know voice instruction. Yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, no, it of me. I mean I think Amy King,
I think also does one of the voices on there.
I mean it's you can choose a bunch of Yeah,
it's a bunch of fun voices. They have, Santa, They've
got you know, they've done a bunch over the years.
But in ways is great because what is it's it's
community oriented. So when you report something, it helps other
drivers behind you. And one of those things is accidents
(11:47):
and road hazards. And this is a demo I saw
last year at Google in New York City. It's finally
coming out. But now when you go to report something,
so you still have to tap the screen, but when
you go to tap the screen, now you can just
say something actually like hey, there's a mattress in the road,
or there's a speed trap, or there's construction on the road,
or there's traffic right now, and AI will interpret what
(12:09):
you're saying and now feed that into the app and
alert the other drivers behind you. So I think it's
a win win for safety and it just makes life
a whole lot easier don't have to sit there and
look at the screen thinking what am I trying to
report here? You just say it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah. Well my question is with Ways, because it'll report
police car ahead, or traffic signal or.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Car on the road. Is it still there? Is it
not there?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I ignore that because I'm past that and I don't
care about anybody else driving. But it goes beyond that,
right do you simply say my kids?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, my kids love doing the reports when we're driving.
They're like, Dad, Dad, Okay, let's see in three hundred feet,
two hundred feet, pet fifty? Is it there?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
No, it's not there?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Press the button. So there are a lot of people
that like this. And by the way, Ways started out
as a gamified system, so it used to be when
you drove streets you earned like coins, like virtual coins.
But the whole thing about Ways is that this was
built from the ground up. They had none of their
own maps, so they would literally enlist people to drive neighborhoods,
(13:13):
and by you driving that neighborhood and collecting those little coins,
you are helping them build their mapping system. And of
course then Google bought them for billions of dollars and
the rest is history, but it's just it's a very
community based driving app, and I think that's what people
still like about it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, a couple of crazy as Ralies conceived of it,
and now there are a couple of very wealthy, crazy Israelis.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
To say the least.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
All Right, I love that you have the knowledge, Bill.
You have the knowledge, Bill, which I love, but you
also present it in a very different manner than I
would like. I yes, like, I know the Israelies came
up with it, but I probably would not have said
what you said.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
All right, Saturday morning, eleven to two pm. Rich is
live here on KFI on KTLA every single day, Instagram,
Rich on Tech Website, richon tech dot Tv, catch over
