Hey, it's came commander today, your daily podcast, to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond. And i'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You can make an appointment to speak with just had over to commanded a common on the top right there's a button, says, e, mail, kim, go that out and that's IT.

I have been getting such a tremendous response to folk sending me their audio recordings, their voice memo, or you like to say, voice, voice mall made a heck of a lot of sense when you said that in yesterday's podcast because I think that made people like, oh, I can do that and so occasion, don't know we're talking about is that we are loving getting your questions, that we're just going to start using them today's the first they were using them. And so what you can do, you can finish your question in a voice memo, and you want to send that to podcast within this podcast at commander 点 com。 So Andrew, are you ready for a very first one?

This is, this is the ino.

I know kay. Let's listen a amp.

This is David from a gorky's, california. I love her shows so much. I've told a lot of my friends and they all listen, and we enjoy talking about IT.

And with that, I should be getting the iphone sixteen that you are giving away. But besides that, i've got a quick question for you. I have an authenticator out that I use, which generates random numbers when you need IT. If my phone ever gets lost or stolen, how do I get that authenticator at back with my numbers that I need to open up certain websites?

Okay, great question. Do you know what an north icatu epic?

Yes, I have used one before. Okay, okay.

explain IT everybody. It's a two .

factor authentication. But instead of getting a text message or an email, a number is generated by third party. Normally a third party APP that then confirms your identity from whatever you're trying to access that with with that number.

And it's safer because if you're using two F A right, then somebody could seem swap your phone and then get all your two F A codes and then break in to you, all of your bank account, still all your money and your children.

And IT would be awful. My children o well.

not the children. I was trying to cr insight some panic so that, you know, people would be like, oh, I Better listen up now.

I'm i'm not trying to to poll for on your pride here, but if they sim swap my phone and they called my phone and they have my authenticator .

APP as well, correct OK correct. So what we want to do is to make sure that David and a go hills, thank you, David. You're so sweet and we love you for listening. And i'm sorry, I can't give you the iphone sixteen just because you sucked up a little butter cup, but you can enter to win and win from kd. com.

Is that what you always want to do just in case your phone does get lost or stolen, whatever is that you go in to find my device on android, find my on IOS. And then if you can do this, you can lock your phone remotely. So and so you can go to ice cloud and do that.

Or you know on detox computer so you can lock a remote and that will prevent anything from getting access to your phone. You can also a race everything on your phone remotely to but there was a deal is that you kind of need to set this up beforehand. So it's not it's sounds like, oh, my phone was stolen.

I wonder if I can erratic SE everything. No, you need to set up beforehand. And so we have all the steps over at commander a com.

You can also contact your career and tell them my phone got ripped off and then they're going to go head and shut down any ability to send text messages. But he may be using google authority or which is great, but there are some other authority ABS. Like um for example, there's one called athi A U T H Y, another one called microsoft of the cator.

I have heard of that company. It's kind of been around for while. Microsoft hard, soft. There's always that jokes been going around about bill gates of why he named IT microsoft. But we won't go there.

But with athi and microsoft authenticate is that you can have backup codes across multiple devices. Just throw IT out there. But I use google authenticator. So the bottom line here is that you want to be tech smart and you want to set up your phone to head a time, so just says that get loss of stolen. You want to worry about anything.

Now, did you just you just feel that? And did you just did that move you? I mean, like this, this whole complete transforms of my intellect right through to you. Did you feel that?

Oh yeah, I mean, I was just talking to someone on the street and they were like, hey, when you guys going to bring up the topic of authentication or on the podcast like h, just hold on. Wait, we're question request answered today is the day .

see and here I was that that was I look on your face when I was talking with this was, were you like having a digestion or were you early into IT?

I was listening, I was seen, and there was any gaps that I was missing in the things i'm doing for security.

Kay will see that's important. And on that happy note, welcome is kim commander, today is your front podcast about everything digital. I'm, of course, can commander your digital godless. You know, i've been doing this for just A A few years overnight success. You might say, I recognized you.

You are. So .

yeah, i've been doing this for just a little bit this funny. I was playing dominus license at the yacht t club because we're having this big dominoes. And this guy comes up to me and he said, you know him, I was listening to to show for so many years and I would go to work on saturday morning, but I don't listen to the showing.

Work is, I don't go to work on the day morning anymore. And like OK, well, you know, you can get the podcast things like, oh, it's a podcast I said, yeah, I think you can sign up for my free newsletter and he said, yeah, I know I said, I get him back calm and he said, do you have a youtube channel? I said, as a matter of fact, I do. Youtube becomes game tomato. And then berry looks like when he goes, it's the A B C is the .

A B C is .

always be. Always be closing. I ee kicked .

about you. Yeah yes.

it's it's a thing. You play domino. It's a, it's a club thing. And so I IT yeah, it's a tournant.

So you move on to the next round.

Now I already moved up to two rounds and i'm and so berries, like, so are you going to come back like if you get to the next round to stand? Like, absolutely. I mean.

do you know how competitive I am?

Of course. Yes, of course. And they have their own rules. It's not like we're you just play dominant. They have like their own set rules a little bit different o and so IT took me while and um and my friend jae told me like there's a different strategy.

And so what you want to do, you want to have a glass that looks like you're drinking something because you're competitor things like you're drinking wine or something. But really, would you happen? There is like water. Oh, so so yeah. So as soon as I knew that I was going to kick her, but I was like, give me a glass of wine over.

let's get him over and start celebrate early.

IT is game over. So what do you got for us?

The next big car company may be a cell phone company.

what? yes.

And the CEO of ford is proving that point.

Have ford? Have you ever owned a ford.

a multiple? I love ford vehicles. Do you?

Would you buy a sense? You had that big .

car rock I had. I had a lincoln k. Lincoln navigator, had a ford expedition.

I had a ford escort. I had a four trail blazer. I was a four guy for a long time.

and would you have now which? outlands? H, okay, that's good.

I let my children picked IT out. IT was a bad .

post to force mistake. I wanted about that. That's so OK. Let me just tell you something. You're not making a lot of good decisions lately. I mean, maybe we shouted talk about this on the podcast, but you know first, you know we have the whole phone thing.

We are exactly. So you think like .

I am going to go save some money and i'm going to buy the samsung costco and they had this great return policy. And if I don't like IT, then they're just going to take you back. No questions ask because i'm Andrew and they love me.

To be fair, there were no questions asked, just multiple layers of paperwork that I had to do. They didn't ask many questions, except for, are you willing to stay here for the next seven hours to do all this paperwork?

okay.

And so now we have a car. Well, this car is like three years old now because I got IT when I got a divorce, I let my children pick out what we drive, and I absolutely hate IT OK.

Well, we're not going to do that to, no, I will help .

you pick out the car. Oh.

really, yes.

I do not turn the same budget what IT comes to .

automobiles .

of what you pick out.

So you know what? Berrie doesn't listen to the podd. So I can talk about this.

Ian sent me this thing like, we should get dad this for Christmas. Kay, it's a some chinese website. okay? It's A G wagon right now.

A G wagging from Mercedes, you know, is probably about one hundred and seventy five, two hundred gram, right? And then when started adding all the options, this up IT IT creeps up a little bit more than that. But and it's over six thousand, five hundred pounds, so you can take IT off your taxes.

This this is a big vehicle. I mean, you know, got some other things too, but it's still pretty pending to get out the door. So this chinese website is selling A G wagon for one thousand eight hundred dollars. Is that .

actually just a red wagging with the g painted .

in the deal of IT? Looks like A G A. again. It's about half the size of a real G A IT has its electric motor, doesn't have four by four and all other great staff spare tire on the back, but IT looks just like A G agon. IT has the Mercedes es logo right in the front and in the back everybody you might see IT and and like I said, it's it's you know like fifteen hundred box, sixteen hundred box or something like that. And so is like we should totally get dead that as a prag that we got.

This is what you do when you give IT to him, though you have a part in the distance so that when you like how to cover size from the distance is is going to look like he has a new leg on and then as to get exclusive and closer and closer, he realizes it's getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.

It's more like a golf cart.

something about yeah, it's about the .

size of a golf cart, but IT all the doors in the top. And so it's not like a golf cart. Words all open. So but then I started thrown around on this chinese vehicle website. There are some really funny things that you could get like like I we could get him like a like a delivery truck for like two hundred dollars.

He would love that. You think that a print, he would absolutely love that.

I know if you said they're going down.

Can like you become a delivered the next day oh .

man hey on that you welcome um to the show as we said and don't forget you can also come on .

and you like command .

share obscure .

be there were .

a ninety seven .

thousand two hundreds subscribers on the youtube channel. That means we are just less than three thousand away from hundred thousand. And if you get to help us out, if you haven't subscribed, you are watching this.

That doesn't make any sense. I mean, I am on youtube all the time. Everybody I watch I subscribe to.

why? Because when they post new videos, I get a notification. When they post a new short, I get a notification.

We go live every monday, wednesday, friday. Don't you wanted know when we go live? Yes, you do. So please subscribe.

yes. Have you have you like pitched this to your folks on facebook and its time to comes up.

So no, it's good idea. Yeah, I put a link.

Why haven't done IT yet?

Are you embarrass? First of all, that was very dramatic. Got super serious. There is a friday. I just, I never thought, I mean, I post pictures of when we're about to go alive on facebook and social media we are right about blink.

say, hey.

I like four thousand followers.

It's all we need to get over that up.

right? If everyone of you does IT.

we're done. We're done.

We just keep put pitching for subscribers after we hit the hundred thousand because .

the next game a break.

okay, because the next black you to give from youtube is in a million.

Oh no. We had definitely to give him a brake for a while. No, you don't want to be that annoying person.

you know you know cast that has tens of millions of subscribers and they just thrown in at the end like, oh, if you go to subsequent thanks yeah you can do that, you can do that describes, I tell you so if you are listening or watching.

you know like your tired of was talking about subscribed to the youtube channel, I will assure you that once we get over one hundred thousand, at least for a while, we will only pitch at once at the end OK. So if you want to do yourself a favor, just ahead and and do that, could hit youtube back on. Slash kim, commander, all right, here are some things that we need to know that are happening in the tech world.

I wrote about this in our free news newsletter called the current, which, by the way, we have gained like fifty one thousand new subscribe bers over the last couple of weeks. It's it's insane. I mean, IT is really starting to take off, really is.

Um and I had a lot of people come and like, is this really going to happen? So right now we have cars. And then I wrote about how generate A I is coming to our cars. And so mercian a chinese car company, they've done a deal with welcome to bring these chips inside of our cars and once these chips were inside of our cars starting, they say, may be next year this whole inward entertainment um you know ask Mercedes, ask mitt bii ford, whatever may be is that it's GTA be like gone on shero zed, like the next level so like for example, let's say you get inside your car, here's what's going to happen with this general AI. It's going to say, welcome, Andrew, you said you get in the car and then it's gonna the car. If it's hot out, it's gonna IT to your perfect temperature on the inside or is called do the series will put on your favorite station, set the lights for you, give you a morning news breath, and then if you you order a cup of coffee to for a pick up from starbucks when you sit in the car, it's going to place that order for you and pay for IT so this way you can just drive through okay? Um if you and I are in the car together, not that whatever happened that.

That if somebody were to send me a text message that said and I was driving, so was my and so we were set in send text measures that, you know, I know what was, you know, hub Andrews, bt, but he was just not with the program on the podcast is that A I would know not to read that text message aloud because that would know that you were in the car because of your phone so I say OK, we're not there would be context to all these .

are really positive things that .

they um if you take a road trip across the border and the car signs, the the signs that you see on the streets will automatically be on a heads up display showing you those .

signs in english. That's cool.

K, and you could actually ask your car to have a conversation with a local who comes over and says, I think you were speeding in whatever language that was, and you say to the car, tell him I was not, that was not me.

but i'm going for the shooter.

Drop I A, I will detect signs of fatigue or stress. And so if stress is going to put down the lights, put on certain music, and also put out a cent, so that inside the car, that you can feel that then moment, and as you SAT in that car, is also sencer if you have gained a few power and so IT will say to you, are you sure you need that crime cream donate with your coffee? I think we need to go to the gym instead.

So like you said, what's the downside? The downside is all this data tracking that's really hard. And um and with the that attraction comes advertising and so that recommendation around twelve clock will say we your for your favorite burger joint is around the corner ah if you go right now, you're going to get free fries and a drink with your order as you're driving down the road.

Could you imagine a digital billboard changing to say, you know, you want big at the casino last weekend? A oh, oh, why don't you go right now because there's a potent ld waiting for you. So comes all this data, all this data that is gonna fed to you and then also sucked in about .

you is they're going to be a kill switch.

Can I turn that off? But I want IT. No, no. But manufacturers also have some up sells that I didn't match IT. So let's say you are in montana and you're sitting there and you get in the car and you're like and that puts you puts the heat on for you, but you still have like that chill to your boat and you know what i'm talking about and then the car will say, you know what, you seem a little cold as you're sitting here. Um if you want, I can enable the heated steering well and the heated seats for just nineteen dollars, ninety five cents a month oh my gosh. Yes.

i'm sold in our own cars everywhere.

It's going to be a total up. So so so if you were reading the new letter and you're wondering like more about that, that's just to kind of bring to your attention and if you're not getting used, this an example of just the great stuff that I do every single day i'd get king duck on. Now speaking of cars and arizona, a mom, her daughter, had this nail biting moment, went a way more car.

It's just a little too close to oncoming traffic here. What's the video? Oh my god, so many cars.

It's just turning left.

There's cars .

coming towards them.

Okay, mom and the daughter just panicking because that is way most self driving car because they said that across too many lanes and IT looked like they were gonna a be killed in a nanosecond .

IT was turning left. They're just speaking out because there was no driver there. If that was their uncle Harry or some uber driver, they wouldn't even been paying attention. But all the cars do is turning left.

But there is no control bun, right? There is no control on. And all that stuff with the A I spoke about that's going to put self driving cars like on a whole another level. But I think I told you about the elevator.

But years ago, I remember talking to about that they in the eighteen and hundreds in new york city, they they had trouble people getting in the average really oh, no, i'm going to die in the elevator then some right guy said, most probably woman said, what do we put a big red button in there? That's a stop button and then suddenly, like, oh, so there's no elevator Operator, but there's a big red button that makes me feel so much safer, so much safer. And so maybe we need the big red button for some people like this.

But if you're in a way more and i'm not trying to you're in a way more, you're not behind the wheel. So the button would just kill the car wherever IT was this. This was more than the problem.

The video was more of the people in IT, not the way of itself, came out and said the car was clear. IT was fine. IT was turning left in a turn lane. Calm down, screaming Nancy. That was officially press release from way on was .

that the screaming Nancy is that was at the park. Was that IT .

just don't google, but one hundred .

percent accurate. Did you play color duty?

I mean, no.

we need. I've played IT.

but I don't play IT.

When do you stop? When do you stop playing color duty? never.

I mean, there's more on color duty than there are children.

okay? Well, I don't play video games. I'm so pleased playing dominoes. But color duty black up six just dropped in the nineteen sixteen multiplayer maps, return of zombies and there's faster come back. So I don't know if you're listening and you play color duty, maybe might want to go get IT.

If you play the call of duty, you already had a midnight this morning. The sick least you actually pay you preordered IT six months ago, and he was downloaded to your machine before you even woke up.

Okay, so if you did IT downloaded at two A M, you're new. Now, you know, that is out.

The color duty fans are unable loyal to that game. Is finally .

some good news from arkansas? A.

did you hear about the good new good news from arko? Yes, this segment.

they would be like, I like that. I be like, done, done. We have good. You .

are from.

We're always trying to up our craft in our game here. Let me tell you, huge deposits, huge deposits of litham have been found in argono. And they say it's gonna reshape the world energy future. There could between five million and nineteen million times very there, enough to meet the projected global men of litham car batteries nine times over.

So that makes me think like we're live in in a simulation. So forever we're like we're not going to be out of power. We're not going to be out of power. And then all I was sudden some farmer trips and falls down a well and the sees that there's five billion tons of lithium. Um just hang out here we are .

here we are it's it's really close to walmart. I'm not sure if there's a correlation kidding about that, but they are headquarter and arkansas, but they are just kidding of you. Yeah.

you don't know, right? I didn't know that really.

Yeah, I bet ten veil betton.

Well well, now I will be able to dominate a barti via if bevill argilius one of the answers.

One's less time going to.

oh, yesterday.

Would you get.

what did we get my kids needed if we just moved? So my kids needed if some stuff to finish, decorate in their bathrooms. Just a couple of things. One hundred and sixty eight dollars later, we left.

Did they pick out the house too? I'm just wondering.

no, I I picked up the house.

Wonder how far that goes. I have .

an ox that's crazy.

I mean, I don't know. I haven't been to walmart in quite a while.

Walmart.

I you know what? I did not like walmer when I went, I did not like I felt that, you know, people were nice, but some of the people walking around made .

me uncomfortable. Yeah, I mean, sure. You just don't make I kind to act and move on.

And do you say, yes, no, baby. But now lithium has been found in that was finally .

some good news from arkansas.

More on radio.

Hey, it's came commander today. If you have not already make sure that you entered to win that brand new iphone sixteen pro because drew the top is not eligible to win because, well, no, he is eligible to win because he's not employed here. You're not eligible to end.

You're not entered. No, but he is and and anybody else she's listening. If you're not an employee of the show and all of dogs go to win from kim dot com and that's win from kim dot com.

It's a brand new iphone sixteen pro with apple intelligence baked that, let me tell you, is working. Phenomenons working so good? IT is amazing.

IT is so great. Like, right before I came on the air, I said, hey, S I R, I send attacks to eat my son. And I said, just want to remind you, I need to know about those domain named baba ba.

And then IT came back and I said, do you want to send IT or change IT? And I said, send IT. And then I just set there.

And then i'm looking at, i'm going like, suit, suit, suit now. And d do IT come on. And then you know what happened?

The whole screen went like rope. That was IT was gone. The whole text was gone. He was gone.

Now, one of these days.

I know what's going on. You let me take you back.

Six months ago, k, the CEO afford was talking to shareholders, and he said that chinese electronic vehicles are an existential threat to the us. Auto market because they're cheap, they are quality, and the batteries go forever up up to five hundred miles on some of these cards.

And you should also mention that fords not doing to sell their job in the E V. department. Well, I think ford has probably the edge with the ford one fifty lightning truck and some of their vehicles.

But a lot of these companies like G, M, I mean, IT was like with that. What was that? The volt or the volt or whatever they had if they were IT, was costing them like seven thousand dollars every time they sold a car, saying ridiculous ous.

But now there they're coming out with electronic versions of their known brands. Like you said, the four hundred and fifty has a full electronic version, which the only persons had one sold IT within ten months of having IT because they are truck drivers, they drive truck for truck reasons. And an electronic truck doesn't do a lot of truck reasoning things, if that makes sense.

Like what like hauling, going long distance, doing multiple projects in one day. It's just not the same with an electronic vehicle. When you hold something electronic truck, you have to go, sorry, you're forced to go slow when .

you add weight to IT. Yeah, that's true. I when the batteries so heavy, that's why I mean, I was on the list to get afford when fifty lightning truck, and I thought I was going to be so cool, because this way I could have the truck, and then I could go to construction sites, and then I could write all my power tools right from the truck.

Yes, would you do so frequently?

And then I realized i'd never go to construction site with my power tools.

The one cool thing about that one fifty, though, is you could hook IT up to your house. And if your power goes out, IT acts as a, what's the world i'm looking for?

Back up battery. Yeah there's a word for generator.

Thank you. Generator for your home. So that's kind of cool.

But so the ford CEO comes out, says all the shareholders, we're in trouble because if we allow these chinese electronic vehicles to enter the U. S. Market, it's over for us now.

Fast forward. Seven months later, he goes on a podcast and guess what, he's been driving the electronic chinese vehicle for the last six months. And his quote is, I never want to a give you up.

No, yes, really. He loves IT.

He says the battery life is amazing. It's a great vehicle. It's a, it's the future.

It's so affordable. He sit in there, are doing a commercial for his computer. They cell phones forwards.

In asian countries, this is a direct competition. Imagine if I came on this podcast and said, wow, I listened to this tech podcast yesterday. I was so good. I was to have three i'm going to downloaded every single day.

wow. Now why why you know, either he an idiot or there's a there's let's talk about my favorite topic, money. There's something going on behind the scenes with money.

So I thought the same thing like this guy is a CEO probably makes like a hundred million dollars a year. He's no dummy y he wouldn't go on a podcast, a very popular auto podcasts. It's all full throated different to give them the plug and say this unless key and ford are going to start to work with the U. S. Government to get these vehicles over here and they take a piece of the pie because he wants .

to take down tesla right, is all about the money. But meanwhile, everybody in washington is saying, we got tiktok. We got tea, moo.

We got D, J, R, drones. We ve got chinese spy balloons. can. It's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be a stretch. But you know, that takes hoods, that takes hoods but that does well.

You know what you may have? Just put the pieces of the puzzle together, right? Or what if you go to the us. Government and say, hey, it's all the data that is connected to these cars will be controlled by ford, an american company.

That's a that's a way that's really .

what you just said makes a lot of sense.

I told you, you know, what is my favorite topic? money.

Love to talk about money. You must. Is that the same thing? If these chinese election vehicles are allowed in the us, because they're so cheap to produce, so they can sell them so cheap here in the us, is that they're done, tests less done, toyoy is done, ford's done, everyone's done. I'll just come in and and take over the entire market here .

because are going to be so affordable.

You know, we should .

do a road trip OK, and we should go went a chinese electric car. We don't have to go far. I don't know. I'm sure there's some place we get on, okay, and we don't have to go far because you know, do I have that type attention span for like a big road trip so we can go back from here to I don't know, Scott.

to o and yes, scots say anything about yeah exactly .

and we should see how IT really drives. I mean, and maybe we should take a way mo, and like take the show on the road.

I don't think they're legal here in the united states. I think he .

has special permission to drive here in the us. Yes.

that he puts IT on another level. Yes, he shipped IT in from shanghai to here after making those reMarks to see like what the competitors about. And now he loves IT.

But I think you're right. I think the pieces are coming together. This ford is going to partner with them to get them here in the U. S.

And then we can control everything and then the government gets all the data on everybody.

But we're something because it's an american company at the home.

Yeah I guess I mean.

that's the optic.

That's the argument. OK won't be looking at the foreign stock, just say what's going. But let me tell you, you don't want to trust me for the advice. I am still holding on to hope that go is going to be doing something big someday, someday.

If anything, you're proving your loyal.

Not sure I am very loyal. I am very loyal. Oh, my god, but that is crazy.

Hey, we are so glad that you're here with us because after all, just we like me and Andrew just talking among th each other and I think that's fun. Yeah.

we wouldn't do a three days a week, maybe water.

Yeah that would be IT because I mean, I, I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I yeah there. yeah. I I like you. 我 去 really warm to the heart。 Adam .

doesn't IT really well.

However you make me .

address you in personal conversation.

your highest would be really, that would be corporate. Be sure that you just drop a few comments because really that serious? Ly, this helps the algorithms because, you know, big tech controls what you see and what gets put in front of you and what gets squashed to the bottom.

And so like, for example, if you get our newsletter is that I not once in a while I say, you know, hit reply, you only need to say anything, just hit replied to email and then that tells gmail in your email provider, whoever, maybe that you actually like this email because you engaged with that email. And so it's the same thing with videos. S here on youtube, if you engage with the video, it's going to tell big text, computers and algorithms like, oh, that must be pretty darn good.

So we're going to show IT none only to you, but to other people who are like you. So that's why it's important. So no, even if you don't like us, just hit the like button. K um if you want to leave a nice comment, you know that's pretty good too um and just you know had to subscribe button as well because we are inching towards that one hundred thousand black which you let me tell andro if it's a piece of crap, i'm going to be .

really disappointed really yeah I mean.

if they the black comes and IT looks like a cheap plastic stuff and doesn't have lights and bells and whistles and sounds and you know but .

it's the symbolism behind the pleg is what the pleg stands for, not the quality. Like an engagement ring that has no diamonds and just a silver ban still has the same meaning as A A engagement ring with six Carried diamond ting on the top. It's about what it's about what I mean.

who are you talking to?

I mean, that was common.

All right, people. My favorite topic of all, love football.

Love such a sports fan, obviously, you know who to? Ek wooden is right?

He's a football player.

yeah. And he played for .

the nfl.

That's the league. He's on a team, a specific team.

It's not the area. Ono cardinals.

we've got one thirty one to .

get or I give up. Who is he play?

He is a member of the sec hawks. He's injured and so he wasn't able to travel with the team when they were playing a game so far this season. So he had to watch them on TV like all of us to a to sign up for you tuber. I don't know any kind of streaming service who love live TV p cock, you know, we talked about earlier in the football season that if you wanted to watch every single football game with all the different streaming options they are, it's going to cost you like two thousand dollars.

Yeah, some crazy number like that. everything. He's an inter .

filled player. He makes good money. Makes about a million dollars a year, got a three hundred and thirty one thousand dollars signing bonus when he signed his contract couple years ago.

So he's got some cash. So you think he would get the direct Sunny ticket on youtube sign up forever bux a year? They posted a picture of him celebrating with this team. And in the corner, everyone thought that he was watching the game on a legal stream.

No, it's so sure.

I say that out loud or no.

No, don't say IT. okay.

So he was, he was watching the game on the legal stream. He was in seattle. So IT literally was available on free TV over of the rabbiters and tanna. But it's so much easier just to open up a browser, go to your illegal streaming site and watch the game.

One hundred percent for sure is i've been just fired that up. You know, that makes me so sad as I said. I mean, you know because I he's using a legal stream to watch his buddies when he could have paid five box or ten box and it's not like he's scraped and buy.

So that proved that is done about the money. It's about the ease of use .

yeah for some people maybe it's about the money for him. I mean, who know I mean, maybe he was busted before he got this and so he's still living by that creed. Um I can't spend way I did that for a long time because when I started the company, I mean, IT was really rough the first couple years.

I mean rough rough of like I I was living on roman noodles and like cheap yoga and apple juice. I mean, that was pretty bad. And so and I noticed that after we started making money, that I still was in that mindset of, I need to make sure that i'm not gonna go broke.

I mean, I even done too long ago, I was in a meeting with all of our financial advisers. And finally, bob says, like in this zoom call, he's like, kim, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? And I said, i'm afraid of being ninety years old and having to go to work at walmart as a greater, okay.

And they all left. And they said, we, all of us assure you, you will never ever be placed in that position. No.

you're never going to hire by wall mart after all the crap you've talked on the shoe about them. Agree.

I would have to go to target. But you know, but that was my first job I worked to target. So that was okay. So putting me back just .

to get back to the money to you real quick, people actually called them on the comments on his post and he said it's just because it's so easy.

That's why he that what he said, yeah so whose fault is that?

Whose fault is that? What you think it's the streamers fault because and we talked about this yesterday with the how easy is to sign up for something, but it's so hard to cancel IT. You have to jump through all of these hoops when you're dealing with all these different platforms that no one even knows where to go to find things half the time.

Well, we should parly talk about the downside of the illegal streaming services. OK. Yeah, you could get a virus now where bad stuff on your network could. Do you think it's almost guarantee .

that malware being put on your computer when you go to one of these sites.

IT depends what you have set up, you know IT depends what you what you click on on depends how you have very far. Well, they're so many different variables. I don't that's why want to say could, I don't want to say would, could. But things a high probability, and you are stealing, you know, is IT likely that somebody from the feds can come knock on your door and say, we're going to find you three thousand dollars because you watched a football game? Probably not.

even if you find yourself out on social media.

Yes, maybe they do. You remember they would do that with navesink. Yeah they would charge people like three granda song and they're like you just got sued for like eight million dollars or something like like .

the first person they ve got butted with the whole after thing was like some twelve year old girl and like to coma and they showed up and find her like twenty five thousand dollars for the three .

sons SHE downloaded and her parents were like, what do you doing in there? What do you doing in there? Yeah, so are the illegal stream. That's funny though that is now did where there any way percussionist, the team's owner or anything like that the nfl is.

they're going to investigate. But they also put out there and said they are working time, day in and day out to get rid of all of these streaming websites because there are thousands of them. And when they shut ten of them down, twenty five more of them open up. They're all over the internet. And you're right, they're there. If you're getting something for free, I mean, you have always said this, if you're getting something for free, then you are the actual product and be aware when you go on these sites, like I have a coworker who streamed sports all the time on these little am I dude, you got to be careful because there's they're giving IT to you for free for some reason and that's private to steal all your information .

yeah we are using your network, using your computers resources, using your TV, whatever may be. They're getting something from you. Just not sure what that is exactly.

It's in commander today, and we are so glad, as always, that you are joining us. And if you're getting the audio version of the pancks, you know what custos to you. We also have another podcast called the daily tech update.

Now the daily tech update is something unique. It's one big news story per day. And then we also have the digital life hack. Now the digital life hack is like, for example, it's well, i'll tell you what tomorrow's digital life is.

Now if you are on the real estate websites, real litter zilla, which one do you use? Red fin and which red and red fin? I mean, everybody has their provinces.

I like zillow just because i've probed been there for the longest. And so what I do is I have saved searches. And so the saved searches could be like in my igbo hood because I want to see what houses are coming up for sale.

IT could be. I also have saved searches on houses that I used to own because i'm always curious like how much they've appreciated. But if you are looking for a home to buy, there is a certain phrase for you to always put into the search box that you want every to the zip code in that certain phrase. Why should there's two phrase? One phrase is Price to sell.

So if you're looking for a home and you're looking for a deal, you want to see if just do us make put in all your parameters and then put in the search like Price to selling quotes and then what zillow says and rider says that what that comes back and that could be a savings of up to maybe thirty eight percent, the average on a Price. yes. So you're talking like on an average house could be like sixty, seventy, eighty thousand dollars.

So again, Price to sell. And then the other phrase is bargain. So Price to sell and bargain. And then that's how you find out where the deals and deals may be inside your community. So that's an example of of the digital effect that I just passed on right to you once again, so that this way you can make money and and you know and by the way, if you're looking to sell your house accordingly, put those words in your listing.

even if it's surprised to sell even the time percent above market Price.

And my sisters trying to sell a house, she's trying to flip. I sent that to her today and I said, just good Price to sell on listing. She's like, text me. She's like, but it's not. I like, yes.

that is so only I could be old.

It's Price to sell, right? Are those which geis just a little bit? And let's talk about data broker sites and people search sites.

Now i'm sure you've seen these sites on the internet, like bi n verified instant check matter. Have A P you are my personal favorite. The site that I hate the most is family tree now. Oh my god.

H I don't know you've ever been to family three now, but you can type in just about anybody's name, and then you're going to find all kinds of details about them talking about these scummy people's arch sites. They are just on the internet. Anybody who goes to the site, they can get your name, your address, your phone number and a lot more details for anyone to say.

Now, if you haven't scribed your info off of these gummy sites, let me take you. Now is the time for you to do IT. Because these, I don't care who's actually looking you up IT could be a stocker could be a jealous x could be a scammer, could be a hacker could be somebody who you just Randy meet and they're like, um let me figure out what more I can find out about this person.

So where are these people? Search sites actually get all your information. And then what do they wanted for aside for making money? Yes, they're making money off of you.

And john is right now is evil. I'm going to try your last name. Okay, are you ready for IT? Let's okay, let's go.

What i'm get at. okay? I'm getting up the gumption to do this. You then t maybe anything .

almost oh.

okay, almost, almost. We're just going to stick with eve, okay, because that once really is he was in the bible. Just good to go. So if your a product manager or writing cognize a sponsor show, um let's talk about what's the biggest difference first. We between the data broker sites and the people search sites.

so that broker sites are collecting information to select more for businesses. So there are less, let's call IT like that. And people services are more public, as you mentioned, for more individual use for stalkers, for harassment, for scammers to find any information about you. And yet these brokers are just having contracts where businesses to sell your data, to marketing companies, to risk assessment companies are basic. The government, if they ask them to do the answer.

And we're talking about a lot of records here, right? I mean, it's what was was the national public data breach was, I don't know, two point nine billion records. It's astounding the amount of information that's out there on all of us yet.

Definitely, internet is full of public information. And we, to be honest, we edited most of them by ourselves, in all of our social media profiles, by purchasing anything online. So all the information is basic there to grabs for anybody to misuse IT.

So how do they that do they collect the information? I mean, you mentioned social media sites. Of course, anytime we download an APP, we never read the terms and conditions um IT just grows on another like, yes, i'm totally good with that.

Things that we put on social media as far as like not just what we post but what we like, what we dislike our comments. Um a lot of people don't realize that when we actually get in our car, we could be giving up data. We can be giving up data when we go to the doctor because that could be sold them.

Two insurance companies. There is a recent study, I don't know if you have ever seen this study, but where we always think that facebook is listening because it's it's like know you said there are you talk about like in your case, okay, you're coming to new york city from lusa, ia. And you know you just have to mention and that just briefly, like you, I can't wait to go to central park and sea rockfeller center with all the Christmas decorations.

And then suddenly up on your feet, you see everything that you were just like just briefly mentioned. But here in the next states, we have a company called a consumer reports, and they actually found that facebook is not listening. What if they're doing is that they're buying data from forty eight thousand different sources so that they can get this whole profile about you.

So they don't have to listen, they don't have to do that. They can just buy all the data. And I don't think a lot of people realize .

that yeah precious. All the companies like meta, google, they have all source of they can collect all source of information, but also our phones. It's it's true that our like iphone is listening to us. So they have some some privacy things in in the iphone itself that they definitely can hear is and then the other companies can definitely purchase that information, for sure.

So so let's say somebody getting email from a people search site that says, you know, you're not a good person. We have found dirt on you. As a matter of fact, somebody left a scaling review about you.

So you just have to like click here to learn more. You're like who did that and who has the nerve to do that? And of course, you're gonna click. So that's a strategy that they use, right.

for sure, for sure. They don't have any ratings or anything or on the people. They just want to collect more information from the person. And of course, they want them to subscribe or buy a report to check them out. And maybe if it's the report is incorrect, they will fix that information and then they will get up to date information on that person.

Yeah so so years ago, I was trying to figure out how to get myself out of all these people's search site. And i'll tell you if IT is not easy, I mean, you know, IT is lake. You have to go into their terms and conditions, then you have to find the opt out form, and then you may have to send them a letter of facts, A A text message, include a copy of your drivers. Listen, I mean, you know, they don't make IT easy for you to get out of their database because that's how they make money. So how is in cognitive doing this?

yeah. So we have a lot of automation done. So for regular person, it's way harder to automate unless you're developer or engineer. So we definitely have automated on those people's such sites where how we submit a the request for them and also automation, how we do with data brokers as well. So we don't need to call them, and we have automation in place to do this.

And of course, they probably change their automation. I mean, from time to time, right?

Of course, people served definitely. If they find out that somebody is having some automation in submitting the request, they change IT. We monitor IT seat, get an alert and then of course, need to update our implementation as well.

Yeah, it's it's a nightmare. It's a really this is truly nightmare trying to do this yourself. I mean, you know, I can tell you a first hand, I thought i'm going to do this great service for all of our readers and listeners and viewers.

I'm going to everybody had to no, i'm not. This is like a complete time suck, and it's so incredibly frustrating. And they don't make IT easy because if they make IT easy, then you're going to be out of database. And that's how they make money because these these people search sites, they want to up sell U A subscription, right? I mean, they want you to do that. I mean, it's know you look anybody up and I always like where they have, like you type in some of his name and then it's like this so phony belongs status where like searching records, searching felony record and he goes all across something like, oh, comi, you're not really IT is all just made so like you sit there and now you're committed so that this way you're onna hang on the site and then you're actually going to be paying for the monthly .

subscription sure yeah ah and we forgot to mentioned that even if you remove yourself so you have been through all that hassle, you went through all the websites and you removed yourself. After some time, they will gather again the same information because because you will still do something online, as you mentioned, download the same APP or install something else, and they will collect the same information. So you will need to persistently. Do IT, and that's what our service offering. So you don't need to do .

IT by yourself. So and so I noticed that, that there aren't too many of these data suppression list. You when when I look at my dashboard, which I shared with all the readers in our newsletter, in case folks you see IT is posted on the uncommanded outcome. So you can actually see my first hand results that i've been removed from, from almost seven hundred of these different sites and then almost fifty data suppression sites. Now talk a little bit about the data suppression because that's super interesting to me.

yeah. So we have agreements with some data brokers that if we ask a data removal request and they reply to us that they not only removed the person but they will never added once again. So is just an agreement that um they will not do IT again. So they added in a separate list and also hide that information. But if they receive any information about that person again, they will not add to the main and will do not sell IT anymore.

And that's the main benefit too is that of course, you you're going to get yourself out of these public people search sites. And so if somebody is just they are strong in bi on the internet, decides to look you up for free that are not going to find your name, your age, all the addresses where you lived, probably at your home telephone, in your cell phone, and if you still have a landline, that's all bond LED IT into that IT is in any of your relatives, how old they are, how you're related.

I mean, IT just goes on and on and IT, I tell you, IT gives IT gives me piece of mind to know that that information is is not on the internet. And what I really love you is that because my information is not so really available, that cash, I mean, here during the political season, so many people are getting inundated with text messages. I don't get any, you know, and I don't get robot calls.

And you know, it's interesting as my husband was, like, how come your phone never rings and mind us and i'm like, well, because I have a coding like, well, how come I don't like, well, you have to make dinner. Anyone should make dinner outside you ever and got me so I did sign up. Now he's also um you know spam text in rebel call free but it's it's a fabulous service.
