Speaker 5 (01:12):
Yes we are and welcome to the Tech Zone. We
here live from CES twenty twenty five in the West Hall.
How y'all doing out there? Hope y'all have been enjoying
all of our cover share. We've talked about some amazing,
amazing innovations.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One thing I really.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Love about CEES is running into some cool, amazing cats,
some content creators, and I am so delighted to have
with me right now, the one the only Mark Anthony
was going on, Mark Anthony, how are you, buddy?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I am doing amazing.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
It is always a pleasure to go to another cees
I mean I've gone to four cees Is now.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But like, Bro, it's just it's crazier and crazier and crazier.
More people, more.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Exhibitors, more expo halls. I mean there's so many you
can't even get through it. And all the time, you.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Know what it is, it has bananas. I've been coming
here since I'm not gonna get my age, but probably
before you were born in a mercantity.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
And I tell you when okay, yeah, ninety seven ninety seven.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Bro, And when I first came here to see, yes,
all they did was talk about car audio, TVs, coffee makers,
stovetops and ranges and that was it. But then over
the see all this emersion of technology. It has blown
me away. And you've been attending for about four years, correct,
Oh yeah, So when you think about the things that
(02:36):
you have seen in that four years, what has been
some of the things that kind of blew your mind?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I mean even before then, I remember being like a
kid and watching all the videos or just seeing like
pictures of all of the crazy technological advancements and being like, WHOA,
I wish I was there, Like I want to go
there one day, And I don't know, I never really
thought that I would end up being here, but I
keep coming every year, and I love seeing especially the robots,
especially seeing like literally AI getting put into every little thing.
(03:06):
I mean, you never expect AI to go into all
these random things, but somehow there's a use case. And
I'm seeing more and more use cases for technology and
more advancements.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Merg Anthony.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
You know, I went to an event that Samsung put
on on Monday and it was called like that First Look.
So they had this AI bot. It's called Bali. And
when you get a chance to check out Bali, well,
BALI can do. BALI can answer any questions that you have.
So for instance, you having dinner right and you're having
that bone air Rabbi or something like, and you got
some bottles of wine. So let's say you got some
(03:40):
boon farms and one hand you got some thunderbird. On
the other hand, you like Bali, which one should I drink?
BALI would let you know what would go with that wine.
And then for instance, you say, hey, Bali, I want
to go to the spear. BALI would project the image
of the spear on the wall. And let's say you
want it bigger. BALI would find the biggest wall in
(04:00):
the house, put that on the biggest wall, and then man,
you like seeing this big old display. And I'm like,
where have we come now with AI?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
No, I mean, it's definitely crazy because it helps with
so many different things that you would never expect. I mean,
at this point, you know, search engines are great. We
love search engines, but at this point, AI has become
the new search engine. If we want to learn something,
we ask AI. We take a picture, We're like, oh,
what's this? What is this part called? What is this
screw called? And it'll tell you. It just saves you
(04:33):
so much time. Oh how do I actually install this?
Like boom, a step by step with pictures and everything,
like amazing. It's so crazy how far it can go,
and even to the point where it could generate a
video showing you how to do it, like.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
What, yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you now.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Now when you first start coming to the ES, did
It kind of weird you out, just how nice everybody
is here.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
I Mean I've been going to tons of conventions for
years now, for sure, so it's always great to see
communities coming together. But I've never seen anything like CES.
I mean there are literally everyone here from every country,
all around the world, all the advancements from every country,
all coming together to collaborate and talk and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Build new things. I mean there's nothing like it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yeah, it kind of blows me, especially when I see
newer people, you know, kind of introduced to the cees,
you know, ones like content creators coming and exploring what's
going on, ones like the newer generation coming in and being.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Like, hey, this is pretty cool right here. And then
how all of.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Us can come together we can act like we got
some sense because we know that technology can really push
us forward.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I mean it's the future and we're in it right now,
continuing to see it develop over time, and it's fast,
it's faster and faster. It's like a snowball effect. I mean,
it was only so long ago that the first computer
came out and now here we are, So it's crazy
to think where we're going to be in five years.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Tell me about it. What's the coolest thing you've seen
as CEES since you've been coming.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Like I said, it's got to be the robots. I
mean the robots walking around talking to people having a conversation.
I mean last year I saw that one robot. I
forgot her name, but she's like fully autonomous. I mean
she's like doing the whole thing. Getting to like talk
to her was insane. I mean, to talk to a robot.
You just never think that you're going to be able
(06:29):
to do that, at least back in the day. And
now here we are and it's like, whoa are we
in the future. Okay, I'm ready for it. I think
it's cool.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
A lot of people are a little afraid of it.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
I mean, yeah, there are some risks, but there's always
going to be risks when you're you know, going in
advancing and trying new things, experimenting. You know, experimentation comes
with failure, it comes with problems, but you know, you
work through it and you get to solutions.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now that's spot on.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Right before CEES started, they have a lot of media
events and we were at the tech and industry standard
and they talked about kind of like the driving force
when it comes to technology, and they gave a shout
out to your generation because your generation is really the
driver behind tech spending out there. Thirty seven percent is
(07:15):
coming from your generation.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
They think about how we're early adopters, like we're on it,
we're about it, and.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
That shows how important your generation is. You see how
companies are now marketing towards your generation. How does that
make you feel knowing that that you guys are evoking
change and you guys are really going to change the
world when it comes to technology.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I've always, you know, made content to try to change
the world in my own way, try to bring some positivity,
and I feel like we're continuing to do that. And
it's really cool to see our generation show our expressions,
like to express ourselves because we're not afraid. Gend Z
is not afraid to express themselves. We're going out and
(07:56):
being orange, we're being crazy, we're being loud, and we're
having fun. But we're also trying to make the world
a better place. So I love to see it. I
love my generation and I love everybody. Human beings are
amazing and we're taking it to the next level, to
the moon.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
That's what I'm talking about. So while you're out here
at See, Yes, you're gonna be shooting some content. Oh yeah,
well what you're gonna be doing out here?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Oh dude.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I am mainly focused on just meeting as many awesome
people as possible, talking to all the amazing brands, seeing
if there are any you know, potential partnership things that
could go down. You know, maybe there's a cool product
that I align with and I maybe want to show
my audience that could be really cool. Other than that,
just grabbing some videos seeing if I can show my viewer.
It's like what it's like to be here. It's just
(08:38):
so insane. It's not easy to just explain it. You
gotta be here. I mean, it's massive. I want you
to understand. There's like four expo halls just in this
building let alone. We're at the Aria, We're at the Venetian,
We're at multiple hotels. There's so many activations with all
(08:59):
of the days. I promise you could try to go
see everything, and you will not see everything. I promise you.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
And as an old hen who tried to go see everything,
MRC Anthony.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Man, it will, it will wear you out. And I've
been I've been coming here thousand steps. Wow, you know,
I wonder how many miles I'm you know, Tay.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Some funny my chair ran out of juice on on
Sunday because I have going.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Back and forth and back and forth.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
So I had to get my charger right in Caesar's
Palace plug in my chair to get some juice because
I use all my energy to be going everywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So you're right, man, Yeah, no, I I totally know
what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
My father, My father is always riding around the Orange Mobile.
Oh I love it for sure, So you know, having
to charge that thing, for sure, it do be annoying.
But you know you got to get the juice in because, hey, bro,
missing a single second of this event couldn't be me.
I make sure I'm here on time, and I'm here
all the way until it ends, every single day. Don't
(10:00):
I want to miss a single thing?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Hey, before I let you go, anything else you like
to share with the audience, with our viewers and our
listeners just about Cees and what it means to you.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I mean it it.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Is everything to our species. I mean, like I don't
want to go there. But like it is, our whole
species is changing through this event. I mean, of course,
it wouldn't be anything without all the amazing innovators, inventors,
all of the people that are actually creating the things
to bring here. But without CES to bring them all together,
(10:40):
it would be harder to collaborate and bring things to
the next level. So I think CEES is a blessing
to our entire species.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I love it. I'll continue and oh definitely continue to
every year.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I can so highly recommend if you ever get the
chance to come on out, you've got to go to CEES.
