Good morning, David. I don't .

know how you do IT. I don't know how you sound so amazing and yet you're still on the road.

right? Yes, I funny. I'm still down in a porter, vera. And I realized that i'll be down here next week too.

So I think that three weeks, so i've been i've been gone quite a while, was copenhagen for a bit. Then I was in parcelling a for a bit. Then down here probably I almost two months.

So I think that's amazing. And you'll after this, you will say, so next week show you'll be down there but then the next the show after that you'll be back in your office, you will be back on and then you will be home for a really long time so this was just a crazy coincidence of yeah .

traveling yeah just just kind of weird. But you know i'm i'm gobby guide to get home. I'll be honest with you. I like home, like being .

at home. I actually have a lot of traveling in coming up. But all of IT i'll still be doing the show from home.

It's more weekend trips to like I I don't have I mentioned this but i'm going to chicago to go with a whole bunch people to go to the there's a exhibit at the chicago institute of art or the chicago wards to do whatever it's called um which i've never seen never been to you know i'd love me a good art museum like I got a oma very often in new york museum of modern arts. And um in chicago there's this great museum. People have said it's one of the greatest art museums. Ms in the world, certainly greatest start museums s in the united states and I ve never been to IT, so i'm excited. But they have um this this uh famous japanese woodblock print called the great wave, which if you saw if I sent a picture of this i've seen here, but they pulled one of the twelve original woodblock prints out of storage. They're showing IT publicly and so i'm excited to see that they also have uh american gothic, which is like the farmer and his why standing there with a pitch voice know that and I think it's called the nigh talk or the nights talk is a sort of war uh sixties or seventies dinner in new york city with the lighting is just so and someone just sitting at a counter um night time thing it's just a it's a famous again I shows to say, oh I seen that and a bunch apparently a bunch other stuff .

that I I never knew that I see a lot and I just freak me like I thinking about IT now IT freak me out. That gives me the chills. The workers working on a building in new york city high up eating lunch on a steel garder oh.

that that's that's a photograph.

Yeah, photograph. And I love the freak. I mean, i'm get i'm terrified of heights. I can't get up on a letter. So that to me just thinking about that picture, I mean, i'm just like shaking here. So yes.

and I think that might be the empire when they were building the empire day building.

How could you sit there and eat sandwich and I would just I just die.

I would die and and I think he's just sitting on a girl. Yeah not not attached anything.

And it's a bunch of them. They're all just sitting there. What if you needed to go to the bathroom? So we had to get bad people? What do you? Didn't you walkover? S, I mean.

now you pee off the side.

My god, we get to talk about something else because it's freak me out now.

So I just want to say I really, really like the sound. Your sound set up IT IT is noticeably Better than I was before and it's consistent because i'm always surprised when we start talking to like, wow, you just sound great so it's good for years set up. I'm happy that everything's working out for yeah um and also we should talk about uh sad news yeah Quentin Jones died earlier this week, I don't know and maybe was monday um but do you are you currency Jones person? Is that mean anything?

If if you're in music, then you know quinsy Jones, he's done so much, you know he .

he he famously was the producer and some might say significant contributor to Michael Jackson sevilla and and and bad. But thriller is one of the all time greatest selling albums, continues to be .

number one.

And and then he did we are the world which maybe you have to be have a certain age to know what that is. But IT was a significant part of culture. We've talked about IT on previous shows. Um he did uh a tony stuff, lot of jail stuff, just a significant contributor to the music .

business as now about one of the best was in the interview we did about the beetles.

yes. Okay, so I love this. I I also want to mention that his one of his greatest works is his daughter received Johnson, who I think very highly of. SHE was in the the office parks and rec. SHE did an apple T, V plus show called Sunny does that stuff?

You know, who did john? Ces, i'm not a big fan.

but I I am, and I didn't know until you know a few years ago that he was quite that quinzy john was her father.

I did know until recently armed. I know he does those ads. I know credit card maybe you know he does.

I think .

and I I mentioned the eric. I just i'm not a big fan hand, SHE said in Jones daughter and know makes sense, but didn't know and .

SHE never used that like the Jones never well used the quenching Jones .

is you don't know what's going on because the .

scenes 这样 that's fair anyway。 So this is an interview I don't remember what what was involved or I think um the interview Quentin Jones and the this is a long time ago but the to what were your first impressions of the beetles? Of course I think even the Young gest listeners to our show have a sense of the beatles and you know that and the beetles is not like a, you know, obscure old band.

There are a super famous and still famous old band. But that said, um, what were your first impressions? The beetles? And this is some, some, some cursing coming up.

So bear with that. They were the worst musicians in the world. They were no playing mother fuckers. Paul was the worst based player I ever heard.

And ringo, don't you ve been talk about IT? I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, who was the beedle producer, and ringo had taken three hours for a four bar thing he was trying to fix on a song he couldn't get IT. We said me, why did you go?

Why did you get some logger and lime some shepard's pie and taken hour a half and relax a little bit? So he did. And we called ronnie verel a jazz rammer.

Ronnie came in for fifteen minutes and tour IT up. Ringo come, came back, comes back and says, George, can you play IT back for me one more time? So George did. And ringo says, that didn't sounds so bad and I said, yeah, are the foker because I ain't great great guy that's what that's what .

he said so I got to add something to this. Um I don't know if that was, uh, a documentary that I saw or something and uh, the interviewer, you know the beetles, once I get big, everybody said all you're the greatest. You're the greatest. You're the greatest they asked john london about ringo and said, john, do you think that ringo the greatest drummer in the world and john said, ringo isn't even the greatest drummer in the band?

That's a famous anecdo. And I think they regretted saying IT, and I think they were wrong. I think brr ingo is actually a very good drama. He's not a, he's not one of the greatest rumors that ever lived. But certainly he he was perfect for .

the big just I love that that was just so amazing. And so, you know, as far as I was concerned, that was true to I didn't think he's very good, but he was in the beatles.

He was in the battle up.

He was Better than peat. Best there you go.

Yeah so all right. So we have uh a couple of uh, apple announcements in self that we're going to read through whatever. But before we get to that um can we talk about live activities? You you and I were sort of talking about this and I am new to IT, right? I'm new to dynamic island certainly because I got the iphone and sixteen pro and I moved up from thirteen pro. So you you have the fifteen pro and you've lived with this for a while with both dynamic island and live activities .

yeah um I don't know about live activities really um I do but um dynamic island is one of the reasons that I upgrade because I really wanted dynamic island. And it's funny because eric bought me a new phone and he thought he got me the one that I wanted but I was the one that didn't have dynamic island. And I said, you know, I appreciate IT, but let's let's get the one that I really wanted.

I hate ted to do that, but you ve didn't mind at all. So I did a time. Mac.

and and so for me.

don amic alin live activities comes up mostly when using my united APP uh which these days and you know was quite a bit. So the united apple come up and give me information about my flight IT will tell me you know how long um the the flight has to go. It'll know tell me which gate um I mad it'll tell me a which carousel to get my bags at stuff like that. And it's a quick look, helpful information.

And so so if you if you look at your phone and when your phone is off, you know you hit the power, but then it's off. Do you still see the dynamic island with information about your flight?

I even don't I I believe what you see is the like the live activity, a 把 no notification type of thing you know on the screen。 And I think if you tap in from there, IT goes into the dynamic island because I let's say you tap and you'll go to your home screen, know you just swipe up and IT goes to the homework reen. I believe that goes into the dynamic island and you can still see some information from there. I never really pay attention to to what happens, but thinking back, that's that's what I think happens.

okay. So for me, this is all new and i'm still getting used to IT, but I I think something is changing with IT. The and I think maybe part of IT is that more third party apps are taking advantage of this. I know last year, there were no people talking about you can see your uber driver.

And yes, I just mention that you .

and i'd never had that, but now I do. I think I think live activities. Requires I O S sixteen point one, so let's spent around for two cycles.

But um but the whole combination of stuff is evolving that with this newest iphone release um and maybe um um I was gonna say there's uh apple apple released in the sports APP earlier this year, I think but I I you know me in sports time, you too your big hockey ban, i'm a sports. I have science of sports, I follow. I love sports.

But um I have definitely gotten into the understanding how to turn on off things in the sports up IT builds a stack on on your I don't know it's dynamic island, but you can see the score like I can just see with my phone off. So I I had the power button so so all of I still see the score being updated all the time of whatever game on following. You can only see one game in that really small view.

But then if you attap IT, you get a stack of all the games are following. And and I don't know how you reorder IT. I haven't figured that.

I yeah, but if you if you turn one off and turn the other one on and then go back and turn the first one on, you can really sort of hard way to do IT. There's probably a just a sliding thing you can do. I just haven't found a mechanic yet.

And if anybody out there is listening to this and knows how to do that how to reorder a stack of notification tions in in sport know particularly with the sports APP. I'd love to know that. But regardless, uh there's um there are other third party apps that are doing this.

But elections now I think this is the first time we saw an election where you could follow along in you know in a live activities um they uh live activities uh add a support for the smart stack in water O S eleven. So that's a new thing. And down your live activities， pop up on your watch and I have seen that happen. Um I I I absolutely like this. I I like where apple is going with this.

I think this is a growing thing and evolving thing think apple has is um I think that you could have thought that when I first came up, when dynamic island first came up and and live activities first came up, that IT was like A A thing just of, hey, we'll destroy that out there and it'll be a thing and then will stop any attention to the weather on the vine. This isn't that they clearly, they are continuing to do development on IT and third party apps are starting to adopt IT and you're starting to see more and more um so i'm happy about that. I I know sense it's new to me and I have been having this experience. I would just wanted to mention that because i'm enjoying IT so much and there you know like the um adding the smart stack in watch s eleven um live activities in the smart stack um that was new to be and and I I want to share that experience. You very .

good um so I .

have .

been playing around with. The image playground APP so I got you know when you when you install the beta, you can request access. I did that and did .

the da of I O S eighteen point two right?

Yes so that that man um a couple days ago for me so i've been just messed sing around with a no um and it's if you say something you know like the other day I did when I was just trying to see what I would do um I did um an angry frog waring, a cowboy had playing guitar and came up with exactly that of carian the way these are genug I things are so you know that worked but one of the things that IT does take a picture of you as the owner of the computer um and IT makes a gem O G of view your mind looks nothing like me.

I think IT looks exactly so exactly.

Po, so James is very .

angry about the picture, the apple things he looks like he doesn't .

look anything like me. And you know what's funny i've seen other people post theirs uh and IT looks nothing like that. They post a picture and then they post what a image playground came up with. It's not even post you know so this so .

I I can do this because still in the q so when I um so I installed the eighteen to beta, I did IT relatively recently so that is why um but then I launched the playground APP and I said, you know um you want would you like early access and I tapped this sure give me early access and then it's said, okay and now when I launched the APP IT puts up A A alert that says early access requested you will be notified when image playground and mog and image one are ready for you to share feedback and then I can click done.

And if I tapped done, IT very quickly flashes the interface and then exits the APP. So the only way I know that how this looks is when I would press done and then quickly take a screen shot, which apparently you did the same thing and a lot of other people have done and then I sort of look through the um I looked through the interface. So if you have eighteen that two installed then you don't have access to IT. You can I mean, you can just go online and what other people are are posting the same screen shot right? Um but i'm glad that you've got through so you ve got through how long did they take after you install they came out to until .

you got through the q oh got that when you know couple weeks so sensitive I installed at the first day came out. So whenever eighteen point two came out, I installed IT and I registered for early .

early .

access right.

Um okay so but but generally um IT seems to me like this is something that's been around in other apps for at least a year.

The the .

angry for, you know you get a text prompt and you type, show, you know make an angry frog. Do you just type angry frog playing a guitar, wearing a copy out or whatever? You just type that.

So messenger, which is on using the messenger APP on my iphone that has had a long time, has had the ability to type in a text prompt. And IT generates a picture and then you can post the picture in your chat. So we when that first happened a year ago, entered IT was um every everybody was doing IT and he started to get really annoying because IT wasn't funny. IT was just more novel. Um but then after the thirty fifth time you've seen someone make a cat singing Opera whatever is that that people do you after while like, okay, this is not contributing to in any way of the conversation is just, hey, look at this new toy I got and and now nobody does IT and and IT so IT seems odd maybe I enough that's the right word that apple is making us weight for this capability.

Well, yeah I mean, I I just find that funny that and I mentioned this on twitter two and I mentioned here before apple is is you adamant that they are not behind, but these are the features that they're releasing as part of apple intelligence and they're just the main good features of eighteen point two is the fact that they use ChatGPT because i've asked ted as the the iphone some questions and then I can answer them so IT goes to ChatGPT if if I wasn't for that theyd be really nothing.

Yeah so we will see how this evolves over time. Um but if you know it's just that's just an odd one to me but maybe um you know maybe the other stuff that's gonna with IT eventually will we'll start to get a sense of where apple is going with this.

Um they ran uh some heads that I know I mentioned at the ad the older ads a while back, but they there's two new ads I came out and the first one is like, uh someones some someone's stole this guy's yogurt from the work refrigeration and he was very angry about and he wrote this really nasty letter um that he was going to post that you know that a jerk who stolen my yoga be die whatever once and then he apple intelligence Operation the chance to change, to rewrite this letter forum so he taps a friendly, I think and then IT rewrites in in a much more positive, you know, hey, I realized you want to have been a mistake. Whatever apologetic letter, whatever any post that and then immediately someone comes in and drops a new goff on him on his desk within apology, saying, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, I check you here so that's fine. I don't love that commercial.

I don't think it's a genius, which is the tagline of them um but but I get IT I get rewriting your stuff is actually helpful and it's a good thing. But then the next one is, uh, there's a guy at a board meeting and uh he supposed to have read the perspectives and he's like a sleep at the meeting um and everybody else paying attention and the guy says, you know to the guy, what do you think of the perspectives or can you lead us through the proventus take us through the the analysis and the the hike does this really weird thing where he takes his computer and he wheels his chair outside the room and in the meantime you see his screen and he's typing apple intelligence give me, you know the the the top points of the prospectus. Give me the the highlights of, you know what what does this mean and IT apple intelligence diggeth the entire document and gives him these three tag.

Know that these are the major points that you that you need to make. And then he rolls back in and he's and he's like, there he can take you through the perspectives. And if it's IT struck me once again and I these other commercials also strike me the same way that apple is there is a dishonesty here that apple is selling um it's a you can get away with lying with with apple intelligence.

It'll let you you know there's the the commercial where the woman says so there's this guy over there and um he seems like he knows me and I don't know who he is so apple intelligence go figure out who this guy is and tell me all about him and that happens and then she's like, oh, hey tim, how are your kids doing or whatever IT is. There is a sense of you've got away with you're pretending to know something that you don't really know or are there there are other commercial still there's the woman who forgot her husband's birthday and uh, apple puts to get to uses apple intelligence to pull together this little heart felt, you know, video of that, her husband and the kids. And he says, I made you this, but he didn't SHE asked apple computer to to put something together in about ten seconds.

That's so much thought SHE put into her husband's birthday, and he forgot that in the first place, but he was pretending he was getting away with a lot. I feel like there's this dishonesty at the core of all of these ads, and that's what apple is selling like there. They're saying, use apple intelligence and you'll yill to get away with stuff.

And I I don't I don't know why, but I don't IT rubs me the wrong way. I don't like that. That's the pitch. I don't mind, you know, rewrite your thing and and help you get to the heart of the matter.

I wish that was the cell, the good things that you get out of that will save you time, help you with something that's a difficult task, it'll help you do IT Better, whatever. But the almost every commercial seems to be this based on this dishonesty, this dishonesty pitch. And I know that medicine email marketing has always been that way like you know where where this lipstick and you will be attractive to everybody.

It'll change everything for you know whether these pants and make you slimmer, whatever. Is that just the way IT works. IT works.

But it's always felt like that's not the the best marketing. An apple has always had such great marketing that's always worked. And none of IT has lead on the old tropes of you know, medicine avenue. But this just feels almost .

lazy to me. I'm glad to hear you are so a negative about I .

know no no negative.

I don't want negative. I I don't know the word passionate about this because you know you you have some expectations of a apple and you're not happy with what they're done. So and that's perfectly tly fair.

Okay, let's take a man and talk about our sponge this week. It's in cognitive. Now we have a real problem of there. As much as we'd love tech, our information is everywhere. Data brokers are collecting our names, social security numbers, our login credentials are home addresses, others, a lot of information.

And that leads to spam identities that mean there have been huge loans taken open people's names that they don't even know about now. And code is a service that helps protect your personal data from data brokers and that helps decrease the spam and decrease the chance for identity theft. They contact brokers on your behalf to request the removal of your personal data.

They handle objections, if there are any, from the data brokers, and they continuously monitor and ensure your data stays off the market with repeated removal request. They also have a family and friends plan, allowing you to extend the protection roped to four additional members. Take control of your privacy today, visit in cognate dot com, sign up and enjoy a thirty day money back guarantee to ensure you're completely satisfied with the service.

Take your personal data back within cognitive use code deal input and get sixty percent of an annual plan. Thank you in cogen for sponsoring the darling report. All right. Um we have some uh not can spend a lot of time on uh financial results for apple. Uh they reported um the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended september twenty eight.

Are they posted revenue of ninety four point nine billion hours um that's up six percent year over year um which is quite uh quite a remarkable amount of money. I mean, no matter how you do think about IT doesn't remarkable amount of money. So if you look at individual products here, they had forty six billion from iphone matches up three billion dollars.

That's quite a bit. Um the mac is up about half a billion. No, no, have a million a mac. How the ipad is up about the same amount that that six point nine billion the market of point seven billion wearables is the only thing that's down.

And wearable ables went from nine point three billion last year to nine billion this year, which is still not bad. It's that's a massive company. I want until services continue to go up that you know apple music, apple TV, and they went from twenty two billion to twenty four billion for a total of ninety four point nine billion dollars on the quarter.

So one thing they missed was um there was a ten point two billion dollar um so the whole thing is ninety five billion right um but they had a charge of ten point two billion because they lost a big tax case. Was that the ireland thing that was going on forever?

Oh, I I I don't know.

Yeah so that was A A big they took a big head. Um so that's not that's a one time thing.

Yeah but those types of things as far as I know, those types of things definitely come off the bottom line. But it's not considered part of the the sales quarter, you know because they are looking at and wall street is looking at how much how much product did they sell and did they meet expectations for that? Yes, they had to write down for something else, but um you know they still had um an increasing in the um earnings per share. You know everything was still up.

So if you look at the uh please know how much each uh product makes uh contribution is how big uh a part of the pie uh everything is iphone is still almost half of the entire pie. Services is about a quarter of the pie. Everything else is another quarter of the pie.

Yeah and it's it's huge.

So there was a comment and I don't remember I think he he tim was the one who said so i'm not positive this um but he said something like we'll never have another iphone or iphone. You can expect iphone the iphone was like a once in a lifetime accomplishment. And you can expect us to generate products that have that kind of impact on our bottom line, the way iphone continues to have.

Um and I think that's just the apple and iphone are the same, right? That's become the neo mac is relatively tiny, ipad relatively tiny, wearable ables relatively tiny services now is riding on the whole ecosystem. So then IT becomes an iphone and services business that apple, along with this other stuff. And you know it's important IT makes a contribution. But um IT will be interesting if there ever comes a time when uh that certainly there's going to come a day when another product is going to come along that as world changing as iphone, right, someday it'll happen.

Who knows what it'll be? So apparently, macos koa fifteen point to beta has a new feature that we are excited about. Uh, I I haven't used the uh the beta at all um talks about IT.

I'm using i'm using the beta but I don't have the fifteen point two beta um yet um so i've just been reading about this but I can love this idea um this is uh they're adding a uh a weather um no forecasts and temperature and all self to your menu bar. So in your menu bar you'll see what is the temperature right now, which is soon very useful.

It's no it's like on your watch you see what the temperature is um and then you if you click on IT so so that the menu title is the temperature and you click on IT and then the menu appears and it's a graphic you know showing the the flow through the day and it's a cloudy is what's the humidity like and is you get A A line of temperatures for every one of your saved locations so you know how in the weather APP you can have when you travel you know you you probably the part of IoT weather um as as party your weather APP or maybe you didn't set IT up but you could um and if I am traveling to new york we'll have the new york weather from one chicago have the chicago where whatever all of those weather things will appear in in the top so I love that. I think it's cool that they are doing that but I have long had this in istat menus. I used to think it's an application that installs a series of of menus in the many bar.

And I love IT and it's I think it's a great APP. You can have a menu that just all about your your storage. So it'll show you how much storage you have left and I have updated in real time or close to real time.

You can have IT. There's a whole weather thing and it's way more complex than this. But IT certainly does everyone of these things instead of the current temperature in the menu in the menu title, it'll have the low and the high for the day, which I think is really important.

Um so so one of the words they'll have fifty degrees to for us folks who use for in high fifty degrees up to seventy degrees or fifty degrees up to eighty degrees whatever IT is and you'll see the rain so you will know okay right now. But I don't need to bring a jacket with me because by the time I get to where I am going, it'll be warm enough for no jacket like that kind of thing and then you you you know all kinds of complex weather things, blots and lots of stuff. So it's I like that I did this, but I I don't know what like what drove this.

I don't know if this is A A hint of things that are to come, uh, maybe something with apple intelligence, where apple intelligence going to help you do something with this right now. It's a pretty simple thing and it's prising to me that they would add a simple thing though I like IT. I like that they did IT. Um I don't think this is really sure locking I start menu's because I stp menu's does so many things.

But I can imagine that I that menus people are critically happy I can imagine but I am still I start menu Better than as so i'm still no it's not changing my habits um but I I just I I think it's interesting that they added the same somebody somewhere either said it's A I have a an in turn who can work on this and put this up and the this is fun let's add IT IT could be that or IT could be a taste of something larger that we're just getting a little bit of because it's in the it's in you know the yahoo intelligence data. It's in the sequoia fifty to two beta. So I don't know the answer of this.

I am glad that people who don't vise that menu, i'm sure it'll be helpful to them. Um and he was um um july clover um from uh mac rumors by this um and he saw I I just love what he does is just in general. Now she's really great journalists and in general, her pieces are always really focused in factual and not you know I don't one of the people who um I don't sense uh a what he call IT when a headline that that is click back yeah SHE SHE didn't do that her her stuff now so propped her too what .

thing uh before we go into what we're watching, the apple and the ipad has teamed up with college football. Now I did noble college foobar until I get together with eric, but and she's a huge, huge college football fan um and we've seen this in other sports over the years. You know the one I know the best hockey where they're using a tablets in on the bench.

You know you see the players are looking at IT like they have a play, they come off the ice and they grab IT tablet and they are looking at IT while there on the bench. Um well, the N C A W, A has approved rule that allows up to eighteen active tablets to be used on the sideline, in the coaching bath or in the locker daring games. So the aac, the S A C and the big ten three of the conferences and college for big of the main they are the, they are the the ones right there um they chose to have ipad uh for their their game day needs, including in game video shot from the sidelines and the end zone as well as any broadcast feet.

So they can have all of that stuff in the ipad showing players working with them. The players see this stuff, all of these different views of how the game is going. I mean, as very important. Again, going back to to a hockey, you can see even the assistant coaches coming up to players with the the ipad and saying, you know showing them what they did or what went wrong or you know how I mean that you talk about needing a to adjust your strategy or whatever this is adJusting in game.

I know the perfect use case and is what I think everybody I don't know, profit ball still uses the the service. But this was the member in the beginning when the surface, the protocol was using the surface, they announce the deal with microsoft, and then they would have those shots of people using in the ipad and the ipad.

The ipad would be leaning up against the surface. So IT looked like IT was the surface, but I was actually in an ipad that wasn't good for micros.

But this is this is actually ipad pro. And they're saying that the um you know when you use uh a tb and it's Sunny, it's just so much glare and they said, um this was one of the the one of the directors of video for a college said the new ipad pro with the nano textual display technology is unbelievable.

If the nano textron glass on the new ipad pro isn't available, IT would be almost impossible to view any footage on the field with the clear that comes from the sun. yes. So I like I like that ah that's a mean that makes this work where other tablets don't necessarily have the same thing.

Um but also this when I heard about this, this was the thing that I well, let me let me just read the thing and then i'll tell you what what my reaction to IT was. Catapult, a sports performance analytics company, is a software provider for all teams in the esc. Here's how the in game video happens.

Each team has their own independent videographers, as you said jm, that shoot the end zone and sideline and they also have access to the broadcast feet. Then each team as a staff member who's logging the game, meaning their tagging plays with details such as down, distance off and Steven eeta um that can later be used for analysis. As they are tagging, we are in the background chopping up the video clip, synchronizing them and sending the video packages to ipads that are both in coaches press box and on the sideline.

So all of this is happening. There's this whole company working at each day, doing all of this, bringing IT all together in real time because IT doesn't help. You know, if you're going to a react to something that's happening on the field, do you have to see IT you know that play that just happen.

You can you go at half time and then see the the replace from the half. You need to see all I see they're playing this kind of defense. So we need to change like that.

And that's what makes you so great though because you actually could take, uh, it's time we half time we need to switch strategy because the other team is doing this and that's killing us. Here's what we need to do from now and here's some examples. You know, I think that's that's great. And anal per play, you can call the team and here you go.

So what would I my reaction to this was, of course, everything you just said, absolutely, but I I would love to see, uh, a documentary, maybe one of apple, apple put pulses videos together up here, how we do this. I would love to see a documentary on the the real time how this all comes together and showing people, I think that would be great for apple, great for the ipad.

Um you know, I think people are so I think people like eric who are so into college football, they would love to see that behind the scenes of how this stuff works. I hope that up apple does this as a matter of course, almost pull these videos together. I hope they do this because I I would love to see IT.

I I don't think i've ever seen anybody doing this. So so like during the game, they're put IT pulling all this together. I've watched a game.

I've never seen, you know, the people. So are they in a book office somewhere doing this? I don't know.

Hockey, have you ever seen anybody pulling those clips together? Is IT all done from the camera wells and the photographer s and then IT goes right to somebody in the back office who who puts us together and then send IT out to the ipad in the coaches hands. Probably right. It's gotta be something like that.

Yeah I don't know how they're doing up. I would be any like you that would be nice to know.

Well.

how box what we're watching. I know um last week we had some pretty good stuff. We talked about john William last week with on the thing on disney pass that was great. Um and I was brought up a show last week, Angel of death that I was watching and I am still watching IT.

We just I thought that I had all of the episodes for the season but as IT turns out, I found out last night um we're too short so so we have to wait for the next two weeks for those for those ones to come up. But still a great show. And you know we've moved on now to slow horses.

We started watching last night, which is just an amazing, amazing show. I think we watched one episode night. So you know gerry almon and and the the cast of that shower just brilliant.

Honestly, I thought this was the best season. The season four is is what I just that was gonna a miles today to talk about um but season four was i've liked every single season like there hasn't been a bad season. There hasn't been every season is is like a case. Now there's a there's solving a mystery of how this happened or there's this person with a device that's gonna M A bunch people and how do they get them, whatever it's like a thriller, spy, whatever, but it's all one story each season. So the story this season was a great one, just fantastic and no spoil are obviously .

I all on oh, you know that .

would be an exciting .

thing for you to do. I wonder when the next flight to your places from port .

of ida 你 有别 吃 um so are right so season of slow horses absolutely you know I think if IT might take you a little bit to get into IT because there is a lot of characters and the unusual characters and it's not clear it's not like cookie cutters characters and so IT takes a while to understand all the characters but it's it's worth IT it's worth your time so just if you haven't watched IT， you you know you watched episode, said this is not for me. Give you a little more time because IT is IT is one of my all time favorite.

I loved that from the first episode. I thought I was great.

So all right, so i've got some stuff. I if anything else that you want to talk about for your stuff, all right, so i've got some stuff. Um there is a series.

It's interesting that these two things came out at the same time, but there is a series called game 7 that's on prime video， that's the amazon thing um and IT is sort of the focuses. Every I think it's every episode is a different game 7。 So game seven when I say game seven to you jam.

what does that mean to the final game in a series in sports?

Yeah exactly. So um obviously you're not sports person. This this probably not worth your time. It's not yeah we just want have the same meaning. But came seven when there's A G seven is all just one of the best things in sports because IT means something went to its long as possible to conclusion and the first episode of game 7 focused on the two thousand and three red socks I yankees uh american league a championship series which was one of the greatest series of all time。 Um this is not the one with the great comeback, right?

This is this is a different one but want to spoil IT so you'll you'll watch IT but it's absolutely riveting well done but IT was funny because I watched that. I watched the first episode. And then I think the second one is about something about emain.

I can remember who they're replying, but a hockey is a hockey episode. Very good, the whole things very good. But then there's another series on netflix called the come back. And I I don't know if one of them saw the other I was doing to show and say what we're going to do IT also or if it's this is just a great big coincidence. But the come back is the story of the red socks yankees, two thousand three to two thousand four series of game seven.

Two thousand three is the, and if we only watch one of these things, i'd watch, uh, the come back and start without having anything else IT might make episode one less interesting of of games seven. But the comeback was fantastic. It's I think three it's a three episode series, so it's like a mini series, but it's basically the anche play uh, the red socks.

One of the greatest rival reason all of sports is the red sox. So you have to buy into that. And if you know anything about sports and have that sense of yet a big rivalry, this is worth watching.

It's an incredibly compelling story of the underdogs and the, you know, just the the red socks are living under the heels of the anxious for ever, for years and years and years. And they talk all about the the rivalry and what the origins are. And it's really, well, great story telling.

You know, compare one of those things you're just watching. You can't stop watching IT because it's so good and then IT takes you all the way through why things change, what what basic things change. And it's not just they simply won a game or they want a series that the red socks came back when a is not that they were basic changes that happened.

And I don't want to again, again give any us away. But if you're a baseball fan, this is absolutely a home run must watch thing. If you're sports fan, I think it's very good also that even if you're not a big baseball fan because you're just watching, you know a lot of behind the scene stuff. So anyway, I loved IT. I thought I was great and then sees for a slow or is I mentioned that I that I finished that and I absolutely love that?

Alright.

that's what I got. Well.

thank you, dave. I will talk to you next week.

Yeah, I look for to IT and, uh, I I I hope that um that you get home, fly safe all that but I guess i'll talk to next week to enjoy enjoy the beach or whatever is that you do right? I.
