15
00:01:44.505 --> 00:01:45.705
Alright, Andrews.
16
00:01:46.345 --> 00:02:16.175
I like this because, you know, I've used a garage for a lot of things. Yes. I've used it for a lot of things. And so you were pondering this morning, is is a garage, at least for most people, is it really used for cars, or is it mostly used for stuff? Right. And the car sits out in the driveway. Yeah. Just like every year, you have a weight trend Sure. That that repeats every year. Like, at the beginning of the year, you drop some weight, and then it just slowly gains. And maybe you... Maybe halfway through the year, you lose weight And then at the holidays, it goes back up. You know? There's there... I believe that there's a similar
17
00:02:16.415 --> 00:02:29.120
patterned curve for whether you can fit your car in the garage. Right? Okay. It was definitely a thing or has definitely been a thing. So I I have a theory. I have a name for this theory. Oh. I think... Because I think that you're close to my mess density theory.
18
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:44.335
And the mess density theory see. Okay. Right? Mist density. I've never heard that word before. Mess Density. Density. Is the mess density theory is that your mess will filter the space that your garage has available. So Yeah. Yeah. For some people, like, here at the studio Yeah. Right, like, the car fits,
19
00:02:44.495 --> 00:02:52.770
but everything's piled around the car. Right. Yes. So that's... You know, but it's... That's my mess density. But for you, you may wanna exceed car capacity.
20
00:02:52.930 --> 00:02:58.130
Right. Depends. Yes. Well, you you gotta be able to open the doors. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So,
21
00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:11.375
you know, I don't like really storing stuff, but I do. I have a bunch of camp... Camping stuff, but I haven't camped in years. So I am looking at getting rid of some stuff. And there's a You got a tent. There's at least Totally. It's a it's a two bedroom tent. Oh.
22
00:03:11.695 --> 00:03:14.175
Actually, I have two tent. I have three tents. Okay. Whatever.
23
00:03:14.495 --> 00:03:16.895
Put them all together, and you got yourself a little village. Yes.
24
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:24.960
I have, you know, three bins of Christmas decorations that I haven't touched for probably a decade. Oh, really? You know? Yeah. Like the It's a good one,
25
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.400
The house lights is one, and then You just do the house lights. Okay.
26
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.215
Well, you know how tall the house is. I can't do it myself. I just kicked Remy out there. Yeah. Yeah.
27
00:03:34.455 --> 00:03:51.500
I mean, he's tall enough. Yeah. He is. He's tall. Thing is even with my ladder, I'm not tall enough. Know. And the and the roof space at certain points is pretty dang steep. Yeah. So I wouldn't wanna do it from there. But it's got that photo sensor plug that we had installed up there. And new neighbors in front of me that aren't gonna complain Yeah. Maybe about Yeah. Well, the privacy bushes are pretty tall now too.
28
00:03:51.820 --> 00:03:59.900
Yeah. Yeah. But it's the 2nd Floor Yeah. Bedroom. Anyway Yeah. Anyways. Okay. So during the cooler months or the... Sorry. The warmer months,
29
00:04:00.140 --> 00:04:01.500
my car hasn't been in the garage.
30
00:04:02.135 --> 00:04:29.370
But now that it's getting colder now and I'm driving Bella to the bus stop You transition back to parking? Yeah. I need the car to not be frost... Frosted over or or too cold. Right? You don't have to scrape the windshield when your seats aren't, like... And your and your steering wheel isn't freezing cold, which probably isn't great for you. Right. Because I have Raynaud's, and then I also just have... You know, my body doesn't regulate temperature well. So so I'm working on that. Now the kids went through... You know, they're 13, 15, 17.
31
00:04:29.610 --> 00:05:05.255
In the last year, they went through a massive purge of of a bunch of shoes and Mhmm. Clothes. Good stuff. And so I had a massive pile of donate that I finally took to the thrift store last night. Wow. So You'd load up the card? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, the whole back of it. Yeah. It was it was like 13 bags of stuff. And then I kept some other stuff to give away on the buy nothing to, you know, to people that want it so that there's not, like, a markup on it at the thrift store. But, anyway, so, yeah, that is what I am currently working on is trying to get my car back in the garage. Yeah. It's a good time to do it. Mhmm. Especially, you know, here in the Pacific Northwest,
32
00:05:05.655 --> 00:05:28.509
we don't really generally have scorching summers. So it's not like your car cooks. Like, people that are listening in the South Right. Oh my god. You don't put your car in the in the garage in the summer? Well... Yeah. It gets, like, you know, 89 degrees here. Yes. It's not... It's nothing. And it's... Your driveway's partially shaded during the day too. Yeah. A good majority. Yeah. It's really not so bad, but it will be really nice in the winter. You know? I don't have a garage.
33
00:05:29.194 --> 00:05:44.440
Yeah. I was gonna ask if you had anything like that that you're just filling up. The... Oh, no. I mean, well, we have a storage unit for Hadiya, but it's mostly it's mostly her stuff. Yeah. But the car that I... The the the model y has a preconditioned mode. So when I get up in the morning,
34
00:05:44.840 --> 00:06:28.645
you know, I just hit that as I'm getting ready. And by the time I get out there, it's totally defrosted and warmed up. The seat heaters are going. So that makes it a little better for not parking. Yeah. And the other thing that's great about that is it's doing all of that with the power from the wall outlet instead from the battery so it doesn't take away from the range. So your car's already warmed up when you get in it. Wait. Can you not kill yourself in a... In your car because there's no exhaust? Is there exhaust? No. There's no exhaust. Because I was just thinking, I I can get a nap for my Mhmm. Subaru. I I have to pay for it, I think, to get the remote link. Yep. Yeah. Or the the... I think I have a preconditioning thing, but I think I might have to turn it on. And if it's in the garage, obviously, I can do that. Yeah. It's great because I can go out there and just take a meeting in the car, and I can just leave the heat going, and I don't have to run it. Yeah. That's crazy.
35
00:06:28.885 --> 00:06:39.600
What a weird... Okay. Yeah. So I have a bad update, but I kinda... That's a... I... Before we get to it, I kinda wanted to ask everybody to boost in and tell us about your garage situation. Yeah. Just be honest with us. Okay?
36
00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.880
So boostinboost.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
37
00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:43.760
Pick the launch,
38
00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:48.960
and let us know how your mess density situation is in your garage. Or call in (774)
39
00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:50.560
462-5667.
40
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.335
There you go. And you can also brag.
41
00:06:53.735 --> 00:06:59.895
Oh, and do you have a beverage fridge? Because that is the biggest contributor. We end up with a pile of boxes from beverages
42
00:07:00.695 --> 00:07:16.469
that that build up. You know? So all you have to do is go out and do a quick recycle breakdown, and and suddenly there's a bunch of space left or remaining. But... Yeah. And just I hate it when I'm right. You know, I talked about on the show a little while ago that we had a coyote problem on the farm. And
43
00:07:16.469 --> 00:07:18.789
Sunday when I got home from Lup,
44
00:07:19.345 --> 00:08:02.425
I was pulling up, and the the the chickens were out and about. And we... We've been kinda letting them out around sunset because they don't tend to wander far because they wanna go back to the coop. So they just stay around the area. Yeah. It's almost time to go back in. So we've been kinda letting them out in the evenings a little more these days, but only for about an hour or so. And I arrived home, and the chickens were out. And it was funny because I wasn't sure if the full self driving... I mean, it sees squirrels, so I assumed it would see the chickens, but it did. It stopped because the chickens, of course, were blocking my way. I So navigate around the chickens, and I I go inside, and I say, you know, hello to Hadiya. And I set my bags down, and we sit down, and we realized that that some of the chickens... Two of the chickens... No. I guess it was three, but we saw two of the chickens had broken off Mhmm. From the flock.
45
00:08:03.410 --> 00:08:14.690
And they went out and down a hill into a field. And so I'm sitting down on the couch, and I'm saying to Houdini, I'm like, we gotta go get those field, but the field. A big field where where all kinds of critters live. Mhmm. And
46
00:08:15.365 --> 00:08:24.885
I so... I sit down on the couch, and I can see them out my window because we we have a view of the field. And I say to her, oh, we gotta go get those dumb birds. It's feeding hour. Mhmm. She's like, yeah. We really should. Should I Do have a bell?
47
00:08:25.205 --> 00:08:33.540
For them? Yeah. For feeding. I should try. What we usually do is we shake food. Oh, okay. And they usually come, but they're they're probably about 400 feet away. Don't know if they'd even hear it. Mhmm.
48
00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:47.065
Plus... Yeah. Plus they have to come all the way up a driveway and around the thing. It's like they really were so stupid birds. So we say... I say, let's go get them. She's like, well, should I make dinner first? And then we'll go get them while it's cooking, or do you wanna just go get them? I'm like, I don't know. And as we're having that exact
49
00:08:47.865 --> 00:08:56.520
discussion Mhmm. Hadeus says, oh god. And I I look out the window, and I can see two coyotes coming in and feathers going everywhere. Oh.
50
00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:04.840
So one... I knew I knew that maybe one bird might be okay, because as far as I knew, there's only two birds, I thought maybe one bird might be okay. But by the time I got outside, both birds were goners,
51
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:14.465
and I saw one of the birds walking up the driveway that I thought was a goner. And I realized I have two white birds, Mel and Sweetie, and the coyote's got Sweetie, who is
52
00:09:14.705 --> 00:09:19.345
great chicken. Sweetie is the chicken I always said that there's no point in having a smart chicken. Yeah.
53
00:09:20.829 --> 00:09:48.245
Well, I kinda take that back because she was everybody's favorite, really. Mean, not everybody's, but she was she was a lot of people's favorite because she was so so clever Mhmm. And and and funny. And then Sue, who is a type of bird... I forget the breed. Everybody knows Bella. Bella knows it. She said... I'm like, what did you even just say? Yeah. Sounds like a bunch of alphabet letters. But they're known for being, like, golden retriever sweet. Mhmm. And just really, really orange chicken. Yeah. It starts with a b, I think. Yeah. But it might be Buff or Orfington.
54
00:09:48.405 --> 00:10:08.325
That Does that sound right? Maybe. Yeah. But, you know, so we'd walk around with her in our pockets. Mhmm. And then when you'd hold her, she'd, like, lay her head on your arm, and he'd let let you pet her. And that was Bella's Yeah. It was Bella's favorite bird and and Hadiya's. Mhmm. Yeah. Yep. So the coyote's got two of them, and they're, you know, they're gonna be even more aggressive now that they know. Right.
55
00:10:08.725 --> 00:10:13.685
So... And we're gonna... If anybody in the audience wants to go on a hunting party, boost it. Let me know. Right.
56
00:10:14.610 --> 00:10:37.915
Dia said that she drove out there Yeah. She did. And and just got out of the car and just started yelling as loud as she could. And I I suggested an air horn, and then she's like, a gun. Yeah. Yeah. So I like, oh, okay. Alright. Yeah. I mean, even if I don't get them just to scare them off for a bit and keep them away. But Yeah. The problem is they kinda have us surrounded because later that evening, on the other side of the farm, we found another coyote. Yeah. So we're kinda surrounded.
57
00:10:38.155 --> 00:10:45.899
Yeah. They have a they have a coop that is pretty well protected, but the coyotes can be very persistent. Mhmm. So here we go. We're down to...
58
00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:47.579
We do still have
59
00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:49.339
some of their eggs.
60
00:10:49.899 --> 00:11:14.770
Mhmm. And we don't know exactly which eggs are theirs, but we have a kind of a rough idea. Yeah. And we've ordered a Incubator. Yeah. So that should arrive today or tomorrow. Nice. And then we're gonna put the eggs in there, and we're gonna see if we can hatch some. Yeah. Which is kind of a weird thing that an animal can pass and leave behind something that you can Right. Yeah. No. It's a weird concept. It is. It is. And I I tried to prepare Bella that... Well, one, it may not produce
61
00:11:14.850 --> 00:11:41.100
Yeah. You know, a replacement for Susan. There's probably gonna be a She already has a name picked out, though. Oh, really? Yeah. What is it? She was gonna... Well, first, was thinking Jell O. She said my next one will be Jell O, but it's too close to Mello. And apparently, you guys were gonna name another one Bello. So so she's like, so I was thinking Susie, you know, kinda like Susan, but Susie. Mhmm. And then, you know, my aunt Susie, they called Smoothie. Oh. So I suggested, what about Smoothie? Yes. Smoothie's good. Smoothie's probably gonna be the next I like that. But, anyway... But I told her, so even if
62
00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:50.380
you guys happened to... If magically one of Susan's eggs is in this bunch Mhmm. It... It's gonna be a whole different chicken. Yeah. Because it's part part boss. Just like
63
00:11:50.995 --> 00:12:11.660
It's it's not even the same genetics a 100% too. Right? Yeah. Right. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's funny. I didn't even think of that. I didn't even think of that. Yeah. But it will be a different bird. For some reason in my head, they're They also Was it hermaphrodite where you can, like... Or what is it? When you can Just clone yourself or whatever. Yeah. You have both? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's funny. I know. But also, they could be roosters,
64
00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:30.884
which I don't think we would keep. Right. We'd probably give them to another home. Like, we would. Yeah. But... Yeah. But I I explained to her that, like, after having Dylan, like, I had so many challenges with Dylan, like, with breastfeeding and and and his temperament, and he, you know, was throwing up all the time or spitting up. I I felt like I I nailed parenting. Like, I can I can have any
65
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:58.105
baby? You And then Abby was born, and and I was like, I got this. And... But she didn't know me. Yeah. And she was a whole different baby. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's... It just doesn't. Yeah. It's it's just a whole different It's a whole... It'll be whole new Everything is different. Everything is different. The other thing that'll be a little different is these birds will be more directly raised by the existing birds where we raise these existing birds directly. You know? Yes. And so I was point... I've pointed out to both girls recently that
66
00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:01.600
Toes and Binky Mhmm. Are
67
00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:34.520
fun cats. They are great. Mhmm. They're playful. They're smart. They're they're just... They're great. They're so great. And not that my other two cats, Rocky and Gypsy, aren't great, but they were raised by other people. And so they're weird. Yeah. It's different. Yeah. They're weird and different and and not as... I don't know. Like, we raise good kit... Kittens. Yeah. So It took a while for Levi to kind of adapt, you know, because he was Mhmm. He was born so much, but we got him pretty young. So Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we are going to incubate the full dozen that we have. We have a dozen eggs, and I figure,
68
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.720
you know, 30% probably won't be valid, and then
69
00:13:38.154 --> 00:13:40.715
half of those will be roosters possibly. So
70
00:13:41.195 --> 00:13:41.835
Wow.
71
00:13:42.075 --> 00:14:03.570
I know. So how many total? Well, it's a dozen that we're gonna we're gonna incubate. We'll see how many we get from that. The other thing is, like, they're gonna be... It's winter soon. I guess I know. I was wondering if it's a bad time of year to even do that. I mean, henhouse has heat. Yeah. So... Yeah. But it was pretty rough. It was... Because I saw the whole thing go down, basically, which is awful. And then, you know, there's just these piles of feathers you gotta go clean up. Do you have game cams?
72
00:14:03.810 --> 00:14:11.135
I have cams closer to the RV, but not that far out. I am kinda looking into it, though. Can you? Like, is it is it that... Is it the same property?
73
00:14:11.775 --> 00:14:46.355
Well, I could also put on the hill. And... Yeah. I mean, it's a question of, like, there's nowhere really to mount them. It's all just a big huge field. You mount... You pound a stick in the ground. I would like to tie it into my frigate system and be able get alerts. Like, coyote detected. Coyote detected. Right? And then ring a bell... Get a bell. Yeah. A bell for food time. I like an air horn too. Take... For when you see him. Yeah. For the coyote. Coyotes. Yeah. The other... Because the other thing I'm a little concerned about, if they get closer because now they know they got a great meal Yes. Well, then even Levi starts to become at risk. Yeah. So I got... I gotta keep an eye on... I could... I know this is a weird one, if you got any tips,
74
00:14:46.915 --> 00:14:49.875
boost them in or tell us about your mess density
75
00:14:50.430 --> 00:14:53.550
Density. It's okay. It's a it's a Back to the Future reference.
76
00:15:07.635 --> 00:15:08.995
Alright.
77
00:15:10.435 --> 00:15:14.515
Yeah. Send us a boost, won't you? And let us know what you think on all of that.
78
00:15:15.075 --> 00:15:27.279
Let's talk about Apple's big day today. Wanna give you my take on what Apple's been up to because they're trying to get into the smart home now. Okay. Smart home... They got a plethora of smart home devices,
79
00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:32.800
but they did it a little weird. It was at 9AM eastern time today. No keynote.
80
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279
Weird. It was a private invite only event to a handful of journalists
81
00:15:37.675 --> 00:15:40.795
and content makers that are known for, like, covering
82
00:15:41.115 --> 00:16:00.670
smart homes on YouTube and, like, on The Verge. And they held it in New York. They had an experience where reporters got to, like, have a couple of minutes with a few devices. And I wanna go through what I think are the standout things, the kinda not so great things, and the gotchas that they didn't tell the reporters or didn't mention during the presentation. So that's where we start.
83
00:16:14.305 --> 00:16:23.300
And let's kick it off with the big one. Apple announced Home View, an all new hardware. It's a all in one new type of smart home
84
00:16:23.540 --> 00:16:28.339
hub and speaker with a seven inch liquid retina display with Yeah. Siri
85
00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:33.459
So do you remember the old iMac that had the tilting screen, the... On the on the arm?
86
00:16:33.945 --> 00:16:37.065
That's the one that I turned on last weekend. Yeah. So this
87
00:16:37.705 --> 00:16:43.385
is kinda like designed like that. But smaller? Yes. And designed sort of to replace your existing HomePod.
88
00:16:43.465 --> 00:16:52.490
Oh, really? Think of the functionality as almost like the Apple Watch on an iPad screen as far as, like, widgets and apps go. Oh. Weird. So the home view features
89
00:16:52.730 --> 00:16:57.370
faces. That's what they call the different displays. Okay. They show information at a glance, including your photos.
90
00:16:57.769 --> 00:16:58.250
No.
91
00:16:58.730 --> 00:17:08.144
It dynamically responds to your movement. So what they mean by that is Oh. Tracking you all the time? They have... Well, yeah. They have a little camera. Mhmm. It's all local. But they have a little camera. When you're far away,
92
00:17:08.385 --> 00:17:16.705
they show you, like, big picture information, like a clock and a big calendar. And as you get closer to the device, they'll show you more nuanced information. Mhmm. It's sort of interesting.
93
00:17:17.560 --> 00:17:36.205
Course, it's gonna play Apple Music. Yep. It's an AirPlay device. It can be part of a multi AirPlay speaker system. Nice. And if you have HomeKit cameras, which we can talk about more in a minute, they're of like an alternative to Ring. It'll show you your camera feeds on this display, like when somebody hits the Ring doorbell or something like that. Oh, that's kinda cool. The interface adjusts
94
00:17:36.285 --> 00:17:44.045
automatically based on who's looking at it. It recognizes up to six people and delivers a personalized experience. Each person has their own home screen with apps and widgets.
95
00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:49.619
The content remains private, while shared photo albums and music can be enjoyed by all users. Mhmm.
96
00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:58.899
And I would say the other thing to kinda know about it is there's also... If you don't want the sort of iMac style looking one, they're making a wall mounted version available,
97
00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:03.375
which is really unique from Apple. There And will be three different mount options from Schneider Home,
98
00:18:03.695 --> 00:18:06.254
including one that does power over Ethernet.
99
00:18:06.655 --> 00:18:12.335
So it's home hub screen and HomePod in one, and it starts at $2.99.
100
00:18:12.735 --> 00:18:15.055
Okay. Available November 13.
101
00:18:15.330 --> 00:18:16.130
Interesting.
102
00:18:16.130 --> 00:18:30.289
Different colors? Or Yes. There are a few colors if you want the sort of iMac looking one. They're not very strong colors, but they have it in silver. That's super cute. I mean, it's kinda cute. Right? Starlight, rose pink, and they got like a gold in there kind of in a space gray.
103
00:18:30.875 --> 00:18:48.119
You could see taking the HomePod that you might have on a kitchen counter today and replacing it with this. I have mine hidden behind a clock. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, this would be the I know. I realize that. Yeah. The other thing that they're kinda leaning into is they say it helps you become the perfect chef because
104
00:18:48.280 --> 00:19:00.505
it has the ability to convert any recipe from the web into a step by step Cool. Hands free instructions with timers and ingredient tracking. Wow. Yeah. And then, of course, the other feature they're building into this is FaceTime.
105
00:19:00.505 --> 00:19:14.080
So you can call and receive calls on FaceTime with this. So if somebody calls you via FaceTime, you can just answer on this. And then the camera has a wide enough field of view that it kinda track... It it zooms and pans is what it's doing. Does it actually physically move? No. Okay. So
106
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:19.840
if I were to get this and put it in the kitchen Mhmm. Replace my clock, I can put my clock somewhere else. Yeah.
107
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.720
Where would I put the HomePod?
108
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.280
So you could, if you wanted to, put it
109
00:19:25.925 --> 00:19:42.399
sort of on the other side of the room and then pair them in stereo mode. And that actually sounds really great. Yeah. So you can link multiple of these together. Yeah. I have been sharing my music to the house system Mhmm. And the kitchen at the same time, you know, for, like, when I'm doing dishes. So I've effectively created that. Yeah.
110
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:57.554
You're right. It would be Yeah. I wonder if I'd then set it up in a different corner. I think the... I I would like... If I were to get something like this, which is this... I'll tell you why I don't think it's quite for me. I think it is a decent product, at a decent price for what it is, really, when you consider the Apple tax.
111
00:19:57.875 --> 00:20:31.475
But if if I were to... I think I'd really like to look at the wall mounted version. That just seems really clean to me. I have tile, though. Yeah. No. It's Or I mean, I guess under the cupboard, I I could mount it. Or You could mount upside down. Where you have the doorbell, the OG doorbell monitor that came built in? Yeah. Kinda like that area, you could have something like that. Yeah. Especially if you leaned into the smart home automation stuff for, like, the locks and the cameras and the lights and the temperature sensors and stuff. I like the idea of the Ring being visible there being... Or what... Would it show? It would. Mhmm. Right? Because that's an app. It'll show up in... Yeah. Nine camera streams. Okay. So... Because I had an old iPad that I found,
112
00:20:31.875 --> 00:20:38.929
but it was so outdated that it couldn't run the Ring app. Right. Right. It can run the Ring app. It just won't show any of the video monitors.
113
00:20:39.169 --> 00:20:43.890
So the thing that I think they've missed on this is the screen resolution's
114
00:20:43.890 --> 00:20:44.690
a little too
115
00:20:45.805 --> 00:21:00.605
square and small for it to be like a dashboard where you could just run a web browser and point it at something Mhmm. Which is a surprisingly large use case for devices that Yeah. Screens that mount on the wall. So it isn't gonna be able to really do that. There's no App Store. So Apple decides every app that goes on. They're mostly all Apple apps.
116
00:21:01.510 --> 00:21:18.054
Not all of them. But Limiting customization. A little bit. Sort of like the Apple Watch in some ways, but even less apps. Well, but with the Apple Watch, you can have it mimic your phone, which has a bunch of apps. So Yeah. It's not gonna be quite like that. But, like, if you put a reminder in your Apple iPhone, it'll show up on this thing and that kind of stuff.
117
00:21:18.375 --> 00:21:19.335
The thing is
118
00:21:19.895 --> 00:21:20.855
Apple...
119
00:21:20.934 --> 00:21:21.335
The
120
00:21:22.055 --> 00:21:23.894
way Apple announces products
121
00:21:23.975 --> 00:21:33.820
tells you Apple's level of commitment behind the product. So when they do a full on keynote and they do a video production and it's a two hour event and it's bam, bam, bam, bam,
122
00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:39.100
they're really all in on something. Yeah. When they do a private off the books, not even livestreamed
123
00:21:39.340 --> 00:21:48.425
tight little meeting Mhmm. It's more like a hobby for them. And so doesn't mean they're necessarily gonna stick with this. That means they're gonna experiment around here. And that's just something to know about.
124
00:21:48.825 --> 00:21:55.305
I mean, at the end of the day, it's an airplay target, so it'll always be useful in that regard. Yeah. If anything, it can play music. Yeah.
125
00:21:56.020 --> 00:22:28.710
Two ninety nine isn't bad. It's not not horrible. It's just everything's kinda coming in at two ninety nine. It adopts the same features as a HomePod though, like, so you could intercom to it? Yes. Yeah. Yep. It'll do the intercom. They have a little visual for it now. Mhmm. That is particularly kind of a neat thing if you had one on multiple, like, levels of of a home or something like that. There are a couple of things it can't do for a device like this that just feel like it should be built in without having a really modern iPhone. So if you wanna take advantage of some of their new AI features, which is how they're kinda positioning this thing, and Siri AI isn't that strong to begin with, you have to have
126
00:22:29.190 --> 00:22:34.549
a phone with Siri AI capability already that has been on the network recently,
127
00:22:34.710 --> 00:22:40.945
that has even been unlocked recently. So it's it's like this thing is offloading a lot of the intelligence
128
00:22:41.345 --> 00:22:45.825
and the recognition and the authorization to your actual iPhone.
129
00:22:45.985 --> 00:22:55.309
And if that isn't around or if that hasn't been on the Wi Fi or if that hasn't been unlocked recently or you don't have, like, an iPhone 15 or newer or whatever it is, you don't get these features. This is this
130
00:22:56.270 --> 00:23:19.750
is funny because I was just talking last night about how old my phone is. Right? Yeah. Not because it's not functioning for me, but just because I realized I haven't bought a a new phone recently. My dad just upgraded his 13. This is a 13 Pro, and it came out in 2021. So I'm in five years, and it's working just fine. I replaced For me. For me, and this is a long one for... I I I was on the 14 until this one. Lies. Not just kidding. It is
131
00:23:19.910 --> 00:23:22.150
surprising. Yeah. They're they're just lasting So
132
00:23:22.790 --> 00:23:46.235
I wouldn't be able to No. I mean, you'd able to use, like, all the regular HomePod features, but Yeah. The stuff you you probably don't care about anyways is the Siri AI stuff, the Apple intelligence stuff. I just thought that meant Siri, to be honest. Well, they've upgraded They just added AI to They've made it more like they've made it more like ChatGPT now. I see. Yeah. And it... Except for uses Google Gemini. You know, they did some kind of update recently, like in the last week, where my Apple CarPlay now wants to have widgets,
133
00:23:47.010 --> 00:24:02.210
and I haven't had a second to play with it and see what that see what that includes. But but it was showing me stuff. I'm like, why? Yeah. I'm like, I just want to be able to play my music. Maps and music. Just keep it simple. That's just Not hard. I will say
134
00:24:02.565 --> 00:24:05.924
I wanna give props to Apple because this does support
135
00:24:06.804 --> 00:24:08.644
Matter and Thread, which are very,
136
00:24:08.965 --> 00:24:11.284
very, like, open, universal,
137
00:24:11.445 --> 00:24:22.039
smart home standards. So Mhmm. That's really nice that Apple is just leaning into that, and you don't have to do something separate. I wanna give them credit for that. Mhmm. The other thing that was nice to see at this event,
138
00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:23.000
finally,
139
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:25.639
after a long, cold, multiyear summer,
140
00:24:25.800 --> 00:24:38.145
the Apple TV has been updated. They're still calling year summer. Is that what you just said? Yeah. Okay. That's just because, like, Apple's... Like, they're always talking about the Apple TV, the service, and all these things, but then they never update the Apple TV, the hardware itself.
141
00:24:38.305 --> 00:24:49.649
So it's like, well, guys, get it together here. Like, anyways, so it's been four years, Ang, since the last Apple TV was updated. It's what I'm saying. It's been four long years. Alright. And this one's an okay update.
142
00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:51.090
Ironically,
143
00:24:51.090 --> 00:24:57.330
they still weren't lapped in that four years by anything on the Android side, but now you got a 50% faster CPU
144
00:24:57.705 --> 00:25:04.904
and GPU. My honest take is out of everything Apple has released this week, if you're not a... Into a, like, a new HomePod,
145
00:25:05.385 --> 00:25:07.384
this is the this is the device.
146
00:25:07.705 --> 00:25:14.440
Apple TV is the best set top box, and I don't get any pleasure in saying that. It's ridiculously expensive.
147
00:25:14.679 --> 00:25:20.599
Apple has a walled garden. Their apps can't do as much as Android apps could do in theory. I don't love saying this,
148
00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:30.635
but if you just want a TV experience that just works, has a high family approval factor, and doesn't frustrate you, and includes beautiful screen savers that people will continually comment on,
149
00:25:31.035 --> 00:25:35.514
the Apple TV is it. And so here we are. It's got Siri AI support.
150
00:25:36.235 --> 00:25:38.635
Okay. An a 19 CPU.
151
00:25:39.060 --> 00:25:44.740
And now they've included built in far field microphones so you can yell at Siri without having to use the microphone. But
152
00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:52.020
here's the great thing. I don't know why it took four years to get here, but their stupid remote, which is fine, but their stupid remote finally includes
153
00:25:52.260 --> 00:26:08.155
find my support, which existed four years ago when they launched this product. Oh my gosh. The remote was missing last week, and I thought, why Right? Why can I not look where this remote is? Why can't I find my? So they Were they looking for the ding? Freaking included. They freaking finally included it, and they included a speaker
154
00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:24.205
so you can have it make noise, so you can find your damn remote. This is a human problem we all have. Yep. So nice to see them finally address this. There's only one model available now. It'll be a 128 gigabytes of storage. No more of these two models. I guess storage is just too expensive these days. $2.99.
155
00:26:24.205 --> 00:27:02.124
So how big is this TV? I I didn't even know Apple had a TV. No. No. No. This... This is what's confusing about their branding. It's the little box. Oh, okay. I know. So you've got Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like a TV. Got it. Yes. Plus, it's this... It's named the same thing as their streaming service, but it missed... Just minus the plus. It's a Roku alternative. Yeah. I see. Yeah. And I have one. You you got one from me a couple Christmases ago. Yeah. And it's it's the best one in my opinion of all of them, but it is so confusing because is it the TV service? If you buy one, does it include the TV service? Is it a TV? Like Well, in four k, it it sounds like Like a TV. Yeah. I know. It's... And it's like, this is what I'm saying. When Apple isn't serious about a prod... No. No. When they're not serious
156
00:27:02.285 --> 00:27:12.200
about a product category, the Apple TV also falls in, this hobby category for them where they just... They don't seem to give it four years between updates. That is crazy. Oh, so how old is mine?
157
00:27:12.600 --> 00:27:18.840
Yours might be eight years old because I think it was the one before that. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I tell you what. But it is nice that we finally get
158
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:36.879
the Find My. And they're gonna... Because they don't wanna leave you out, they're gonna give you Siri AI on some of the older models too. So you do previous, you know, so... Because everybody's gotta have Siri AI. Mhmm. I think they're probably the most value product that they announced that maybe you might be interested in is they've updated the HomePod mini.
159
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:42.159
And the HomePod mini now has a better chip in it. It's the s 10 chip from the Apple Watch.
160
00:27:42.559 --> 00:28:03.570
And they've improved some of the dynamic range of the speakers. They have a new feature called sound glow that turn... Turns the top of the HomePod mini into, like, this disco like glowing surface that pulls colors from the album art of the music that you're listening to and animates in sync with the music. Mhmm. That's kinda neat. That is cool. I don't remember which HomePod I have. Do you have the one that looks like this with the little
161
00:28:04.290 --> 00:28:10.450
I don't know. It's behind a clock. I think you have this one. I don't know. So I think you got it after they discontinued the big HomePod.
162
00:28:10.610 --> 00:28:19.094
You can now pair four of these suckers together too, which is actually kinda great. And you can connect them to your Apple TV, and it will use them as surround sound speakers,
163
00:28:19.255 --> 00:28:20.054
which is great.
164
00:28:20.455 --> 00:28:24.294
And they will communicate and recognize their position in the room,
165
00:28:24.695 --> 00:28:29.490
calibrate their levels to the space, and make sure that, like, it all sounds good dynamically.
166
00:28:29.490 --> 00:28:31.489
You don't even have to sit there and do the rigmarole.
167
00:28:31.649 --> 00:28:34.209
And, course, Siri AI will be available in a future update.
168
00:28:34.529 --> 00:28:39.169
It'll also be able to recognize six users by voice, so that way they can get their calendar and information like that.
169
00:28:39.649 --> 00:28:41.970
And it'll also detect carbon monoxide alarms,
170
00:28:42.325 --> 00:28:44.725
smoke detector alarms, breaking glass,
171
00:28:45.045 --> 00:28:49.125
things like that. It's the new HomePod mini, Andrews. Yeah. Now
172
00:28:53.445 --> 00:28:59.320
in color, are you looking to see if can find a picture of your? Well, I'm trying to find anywhere in the Home app. It's
173
00:28:59.320 --> 00:29:01.400
like That's a good idea. But it's not here.
174
00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:21.125
There's nothing. Okay. So I think out of everything, a $150 for a HomePod mini is probably the best deal they're gonna give you if you're in the ecosystem. Mhmm. The Andrews. Here's where it gets weird. K. I told you Apple wanted to go all in on the smart home. But again, it's like, how how much conviction do they have? Yep. So this event, they also announced
175
00:29:21.525 --> 00:29:22.645
the Apple
176
00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:28.980
Home Collection. And the Apple Home Collection is an accessory lineup developed in partnership with LG Electronics
177
00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:34.739
and Schneider Electric. Okay. Also, ADP, the security company, although they didn't make it in time for the announcement.
178
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:44.225
But ADP is gonna have a line of security products that connect to HomeKit and use Matter and Thread, and ADP will come to your house, and they'll do the drilling in the walls and the installation.
179
00:29:44.385 --> 00:29:49.105
Oh. So that's kinda interesting. But... So you got a few things here, Ang. And
180
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.320
what is, I think, maybe compelling to someone like yourself is
181
00:29:53.720 --> 00:30:06.315
not only is this all all of these products are gonna be integrated with the home app that you already use and all that. Mhmm. Everything is either local or encrypted. So it's unlike the ring where, like, the cops can request footage and Amazon can review it,
182
00:30:06.635 --> 00:30:08.154
Apple can't view the footage.
183
00:30:08.715 --> 00:30:27.690
And when it is viewing the footage, it's all viewed over your home network. So it's very fast, very high quality, and doesn't ever leave your house, which is really nice. Yeah. Now if you go off to the offline iCloud processing storage, it goes off your house LAN, of course, but they claim it's private. So you've got the LG video doorbell for $250.
184
00:30:27.770 --> 00:30:28.970
Do you remember how much your Ring was?
185
00:30:29.745 --> 00:30:32.225
Because Amazon sells those things for such a great deal. I
186
00:30:33.265 --> 00:30:41.504
just had it open to look for the HomePod, I didn't buy it from them. They got this video doorbell. I think it looks kinda good. It looks good. It's thin. It's lean.
187
00:30:41.665 --> 00:30:47.350
They got a wired version and a battery version. LG also has a generic outdoor
188
00:30:47.670 --> 00:30:51.990
camera that works in low light. They have an indoor camera, a floodlight camera,
189
00:30:52.150 --> 00:30:53.590
a smart deadlock,
190
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:58.150
and an LG thermostat thermostat. And the Schneider Electric thermostat as well for a $199.
191
00:30:58.365 --> 00:31:00.125
So they have these smart thermostats,
192
00:31:00.125 --> 00:31:01.325
these smart cameras
193
00:31:01.804 --> 00:31:07.804
that all tie in. And I have limited experience, but the HomeKit video system is actually rather decent.
194
00:31:08.365 --> 00:31:09.884
Lets you scrub the day.
195
00:31:10.125 --> 00:31:16.380
It identifies pets. It does the processing locally, I'm told. Don't know how that works, but I'm told it does the processing locally.
196
00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:18.700
What I kinda wanted to just
197
00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.500
really
198
00:31:19.820 --> 00:31:24.139
zoom out and look at was the meta story of Apple outsourcing this
199
00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:25.659
to LG,
200
00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.860
ADP,
201
00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.620
and Schneider Electronic.
202
00:31:29.335 --> 00:31:33.015
Right? Apple is the company that's known for wanting to own the stack.
203
00:31:33.495 --> 00:31:41.495
Apple wants to own the whole stack. Mhmm. Steve Jobs is famous for saying that. Tim Cook is famous for saying that. And here they are. They're defining the protocols
204
00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:44.880
and kind of the platform, but they're letting LG
205
00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:47.520
and the others do all the manufacturing,
206
00:31:47.520 --> 00:31:50.159
the branding. These things are branded as LG or Schneider.
207
00:31:50.640 --> 00:32:11.274
The LG... You see that really weird camera they have there that's on a pole? It's on a stick Mhmm. Kind of? Mhmm. One of the neat things about that is because the iPhone knows when you're home. Right? Because it has location. Yeah. You can... By default, when you arrive home, the camera actually pivots downward and shoots the ground. So you know you're not getting recorded by the camera when you're home. Right. And it just... And then when you leave, it automatically repivots and it starts recording again.
208
00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:20.060
Alright. So there you go. That's the that's the pitch. That's... They've got they've got their home view. They've got a new Apple TV,
209
00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:24.060
a new HomePod mini, and then they've got the home collection
210
00:32:24.060 --> 00:32:26.380
where they're working with LG and these others.
211
00:32:27.085 --> 00:32:33.805
It's funny because LG is in such a privacy controversy at the moment. Mhmm. What's your impression? Does this... As somebody who is a Ring customer,
212
00:32:34.045 --> 00:32:37.085
you do like the the video devices, you've got the HomePod,
213
00:32:37.165 --> 00:32:45.170
you got the iPhones, you got the Mac. Yeah. So this could be Yeah. It could. But does does any of this feel like a need or a want to you?
214
00:32:45.570 --> 00:32:50.370
Anything you feel like this would be good to have? I like the encryption and the protection Yeah. Of the doorbell
215
00:32:50.770 --> 00:32:57.004
aspect. I do like that. It was $100 two years ago. My bat... My door... Battery
216
00:32:57.005 --> 00:33:04.684
doorbell. So this one's $2.50. Yeah. So... Yeah. Maybe worth a... I mean, although you'd probably be willing to pay that short term premium.
217
00:33:05.085 --> 00:33:05.485
Maybe.
218
00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:20.500
Because then there's, like, no Ring plus you need to subscribe to. You do need to have iCloud plus, but you're gonna have that anyways if you Oh, yeah. Have iCloud stuff. Yeah. I am on a higher plan of Ring because of Right. The device. So the storage for the cameras comes with iCloud plus already to a certain extent. So it's just included.
219
00:33:21.184 --> 00:33:44.860
Yeah. So there's that. I don't know. I think it's cool to have this option. I think that I might have gone this route If it were available instead of Ring, yeah, if if it had been available then. Okay then. If it came to a point where maybe your, you know, one of your... Like, your doorbell camera starts fritzing out, you know, it's been a few years. Mhmm. Would you consider going this route, or now you're gonna stick with Ring because you're already kinda in that? I'd have to do an evaluation of how low I can get my Ring subscription.
220
00:33:45.180 --> 00:33:45.660
And,
221
00:33:45.980 --> 00:34:09.380
like, I... Yeah. Do they have fully powered? Yeah. Yeah. Both. Okay. Yeah. Alright. The one that seems like that actually is the best fit, but I... It's only like if you were really gonna treat yourself is the home view. Mhmm. The screen and the and the speaker because it's a good speaker and you like music. And, you know, it's kinda nice to have the... It's got a good clock and a calendar, and you could do recipe lookups. You could have it there in the kitchen. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like like if
222
00:34:09.859 --> 00:34:13.619
you still lived there, you probably would Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get this and
223
00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.500
still have the ring.
224
00:34:15.174 --> 00:34:36.500
Right? Oh, maybe. You would just repurpose it to somewhere else. Like, maybe the maybe the garage needs cameras now. Or move it to the studio or something. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it... I think this is like... The view is a good... The home view is a good product, but who needs it? Yeah. You know, and I am thinking of game cams, getting game cams. Yeah. But that's not that's not what this would do. No. But I do want that level of...
225
00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:52.685
I wanna be able to the nature going on in that backyard? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Apple released a video, and I don't think I'll I'll play it because it's... I don't know how useful it is to play. But Apple released a video that is for the home view, and it is the most anxiety inducing
226
00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:57.420
fake version of what a modern family is like. And it's like if...
227
00:34:57.660 --> 00:35:02.940
I don't know. I I... It's... I I would take it down if I were them. It's that bad. Wow.
228
00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:09.645
I wonder if I could find it for you because I I hated it, but I don't know if I can... Oh, it was from the Apple account,
229
00:35:09.964 --> 00:35:11.165
so I can go find it.
230
00:35:11.645 --> 00:35:19.005
And I'll... Please play a portion of it, and you tell me if you think this represents, like, any actual family in the real world k. If I if I can actually
231
00:35:19.640 --> 00:35:27.240
get my hands on it. They may... Maybe they've... I think they've already taken it down. Someone's asking... Well, good. Someone's asking in the chat They didn't. If
232
00:35:27.640 --> 00:35:29.800
if someone without an iPhone
233
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.120
can utilize HomePods.
234
00:35:32.355 --> 00:35:40.195
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just how you go about it. So my primary way I interface with my HomePods is actually music assistant.
235
00:35:40.355 --> 00:35:41.715
The AirPlay protocol
236
00:35:41.955 --> 00:35:43.955
is pretty good. And
237
00:35:44.195 --> 00:35:56.900
one of the things the AirPlay protocol is particularly good at is handling multi speaker latency and sorting that out so they all play in sync so you don't get like weird echoes when one's out of sync or something. Mhmm. And music assistant sits on top of Home Assistant,
238
00:35:57.140 --> 00:36:02.585
ties into my title account or Spotify or music, Apple Music, whatever you got, or local audio.
239
00:36:02.984 --> 00:36:17.990
And then it can stream using AirPlay, and it does a really good job. So that's actually the the way I use them the most. Mhmm. And then the way I use them the the... After that is probably with Apple TV. Alright. I wanna play a little bit of this. Alright. So this is Apple depicting like a modern family. And for you audio listeners,
240
00:36:18.390 --> 00:36:27.030
it's a kitchen setting in a suburban home with, like, a a family with, like, a mom and dad and teenagers, and there's a lot going on. And the Apple home view
241
00:36:27.190 --> 00:36:30.230
is the thing that's solving everything and kind of bringing
242
00:36:30.505 --> 00:36:35.385
sort of, I guess, a little bit of normalness to the chaos or whatever.
243
00:36:35.865 --> 00:36:38.825
Here we go from Apple today. I'll probably... This will get us taken down. No doubt.
244
00:36:39.305 --> 00:36:45.480
They always do. Apple is so aggressive with this. So it's pans up on the kitchen counter. Bathroom. There's one downstairs.
245
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:46.280
Fuck.
246
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:57.160
The kids don't know where their own bathrooms are. Who keeps touching this? You promised French toast, bruh. I'm not your bruh, bruh. Somebody's messing with the thermostat. The teenager's calling dad, bruh. Says we're made, Vincent. Fine.
247
00:36:57.905 --> 00:37:11.665
Hey, Siri. Find the French toast recipe that mom sent. I found a message from mom with a link to a French toast recipe from Taste of Home. Of course, because he's a 40 year old man that doesn't know how to cook French toast, he has to get recipes from his mom. That's so funny. I don't get... You know, I'm insulted by that at all.
248
00:37:12.810 --> 00:37:37.375
I mean, do you know how to make French toast? Yeah. I mean, I know. I've made it. It's been a while. I know how to make quite a bit of breakfast. French toast, maybe a little weak. I would probably look up a recipe. It's just the the part... I don't know why this triggers me. But the idea that he's so incapable that he can't even Google it, but he's gotta, like, message his mommy and ask his mommy how to make French toast. Or maybe she offered it willingly, he's like, oh, I will try that. Or she's got a great recipe. I get it. Yeah.
249
00:37:38.049 --> 00:37:42.690
There's just no context. Mhmm. So I make up the context. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I'm good at that too.
250
00:37:43.490 --> 00:37:44.530
Gross.
251
00:37:44.770 --> 00:38:06.960
Bet you didn't know that French toast isn't actually French. Yep. Teenage daughter comes in, calls her brother gross with attitude. They can hear it. I know. Well Oh, okay. Just point in narrating. Yeah. Because for the audio listener, I just, like, I just want them to know it's like, of course, it's the teenage daughter, but they get it. Alright. Then why is it called French, genius? Fine. Live in England. Hold, please. Serious. French toast. French. No. French toast is not originally from France. Oh.
252
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:11.760
Well, thank goodness. It's literally in the pain. Whatever, Bruno. Makes no sense.
253
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:22.745
Mom has decided to use Hey. Who canceled our Yeah. Mom's on the calendar now. Right? Yeah. And of course, you saw you... So dad was using it Yep. The French toast. And then mom walks over and it switches to mom stuff. Yeah. Calendar.
254
00:38:22.905 --> 00:38:32.740
The thing that is already impractical about this is mom would just whip out her phone. Yeah. She wouldn't even bother walking over there. Right? Mom would just whip out the phone. The other thing that's impractical about this is
255
00:38:33.140 --> 00:38:44.455
they cut a hole in the middle of their kitchen island for the power cord. Oh. The power cord just got... They just drilled a hole in the middle of the... Nobody's gonna do that. That's funny.
256
00:38:45.335 --> 00:38:51.415
But, like, that's what they had to do for this concept of it's the center of your kitchen life. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good call out. I
257
00:38:52.135 --> 00:38:53.175
canceled it.
258
00:38:53.895 --> 00:38:54.535
Oh,
259
00:38:54.775 --> 00:38:59.260
I'm gonna walk today. Boyfriend. What? Sorry. Something in the throat.
260
00:39:01.340 --> 00:39:21.055
Oh, mom just found out. For you. Yeah. Daughter has a girl... Or a boyfriend. Tell her if you're excited. Oh, and then mom and dad just FaceTimed, so we gotta, you know... We're taking a call. Busy now. Look. Let's put the beers on. We don't like the beer. Never did. Hey. Has anyone seen my keys? Nope. I haven't seen him. He looks like that I thought we hate. And the call secret for keys.
261
00:39:21.535 --> 00:39:27.570
I'm sure there's a air tag on him. The thing is is like... So so dude just got a French toast recipe from his mom,
262
00:39:27.970 --> 00:39:43.215
and you'll find out in just a second that they're gonna chat in the car like they always do. But then when he answers the phone, they're like, what's with the beard? But he's got, like, a two month beard going. Yeah. Yeah. It's not new. The math just doesn't work on it. Nope. Haven't seen him. He looks like that I thought we hate.
263
00:39:43.375 --> 00:39:51.455
Yeah. Big, good, epic talk. I'll call you from the car. Love you. Hey. Bye. Bye. Carlos late. Siri, ping my keys. He need your keys.
264
00:39:54.300 --> 00:40:00.140
Oh, they're in mom's pocket, but there's so much chaos. Mom didn't even know they're in her gosh darn pocket, guys.
265
00:40:01.100 --> 00:40:03.180
Okay. Don't say a word.
266
00:40:05.020 --> 00:40:07.500
And for some reason, the teenager is just eating
267
00:40:07.635 --> 00:40:17.075
whipped cream right there before breakfast. Like, come on, dad. Abby would do that. Yeah. I know. But come on, dad. Say something. Becca, your five minute warning was ten minutes ago. Oh, running late.
268
00:40:18.115 --> 00:40:22.170
Gotta grab the home view. Anyone else cold in here? Don't know what you're talking about.
269
00:40:25.690 --> 00:40:30.570
So he goes to look at her sister's messages because it recognized her face. And he looks over at it, and it says,
270
00:40:30.970 --> 00:40:32.250
you're not recognized.
271
00:40:32.250 --> 00:40:34.250
You can't read her secret sext
272
00:40:34.855 --> 00:40:42.135
shoes. Well, it's so, like, she didn't pick up her phone. Like I know. Again It is so impractical. You're not gonna... She's having a sneaky sex with her with her new boyfriend.
273
00:40:42.695 --> 00:40:59.140
Right? And, like Oh. Like, she's not gonna do that. The sneaky planning that they're doing, not gonna do that. You're not gonna do that on the whole view in front of everyone in kitchen. You're gonna whip out your phone. Yeah. But they wanna show you how bro can look over at the sex and real... And not be able to see it. Yep. I don't know what you're talking about.
274
00:41:03.275 --> 00:41:06.395
Don't think I like facial recognition, to be honest. No?
275
00:41:06.635 --> 00:41:15.275
No. No. I I haven't wanted to enable it for Yeah. The two factor that my work is. You don't like this looking at your face? Mm-mm. Not at all. No. And in fact, it makes me feel sick.
276
00:41:15.940 --> 00:41:27.540
Like, it... I I don't know what it is, but I just can't. I think it creeps a lot of people out. No. Yeah. No. The the movement of the phone when it's trying to Oh, yeah. See on my face Uh-huh. Like that is... It makes me sick. So,
277
00:41:28.180 --> 00:41:33.275
I mean, we can wrap it up. We don't have to play the whole thing. But... Oh, I guess I'll show you how the camera stuff works because that's kind of interesting. So
278
00:41:33.674 --> 00:41:39.835
we're gonna find out that... Even though it's already been obvious, we're gonna find out that the teenage daughter has a new boyfriend
279
00:41:40.075 --> 00:41:43.515
because they're creeping on her with the ring or with their doorbell camera.
280
00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:48.820
She's putting lipstick or something on.
281
00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:52.340
They do it. What?
282
00:41:53.220 --> 00:41:57.940
Becca, we're late. Come right here. Dad was caught Mom, breathe. Turning up or down the Oh,
283
00:41:58.175 --> 00:41:59.615
there's another child. Who
284
00:42:01.135 --> 00:42:03.055
is that? That's Asa.
285
00:42:03.295 --> 00:42:05.775
Who's Asa? He's a person.
286
00:42:06.815 --> 00:42:08.735
Yep. Caught.
287
00:42:11.040 --> 00:42:18.960
So now they're all watching. Yeah. Know. Well, they call that out. But, yeah, it's like, what is the message here exactly? Yeah. Guys, cheers are in. It's not cool.
288
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.720
And then they go play music and stuff, and they, you know, they party and whatnot.
289
00:42:25.255 --> 00:42:26.055
So there...
290
00:42:26.615 --> 00:42:39.494
That... And if you watch the whole thing, I'll put a link in the show notes if I remember, or just go search a welcome to Apple home view, actually. I don't even wanna link to it. They're gonna take us down from even playing that. It... It's anxiety inducing, and it's just this ridiculous this ridiculous family.
291
00:42:40.150 --> 00:42:54.390
I don't know what... I just don't And you know what? Like, you had talked about having an iPad available in the kitchen Mhmm. For recipes, you know, Alton Brown and all that. But now... So this is an alternative, but it's it's wired. It's not as portable. Yeah. And it's gonna be their implementation.
292
00:42:54.470 --> 00:43:18.350
Yeah. Right? So if I I might... I have a recipe system. Yeah. But it's not gonna tie in with that recipe system. Right. It's it's like Pre create your recipe. It's designed for searching the web and then and then composing them in a really easy to use way, which is a... Not a bad feature. It's not a bad idea. It's just not not what I need. Not what I need. Alright, Andrews. Well, you know what time it is? It's time to shake all that off. Now's the time. It's the song of the week. Remember,
293
00:43:18.430 --> 00:43:19.869
you can boost the track.
294
00:43:20.270 --> 00:43:30.665
They sure like that. They sure do. And our artist this week... I don't know. I don't think I've ever played. Oh, may... Maybe I have in this week in Bitcoin. I can't remember. But it is my friend Jimmy,
295
00:43:30.905 --> 00:43:35.625
and it's his song, I think. I don't know if it's them. It's their song, Bullet Train.
296
00:47:02.025 --> 00:47:06.985
Bill, I'm just gonna make a quick call to my lunch. I haven't checked in since yesterday.
297
00:47:07.464 --> 00:47:08.905
(774)
298
00:47:08.905 --> 00:47:12.105
462-5667.
299
00:47:12.105 --> 00:47:14.890
That's it. Alright. (774)
300
00:47:14.890 --> 00:47:18.090
462-5667.
301
00:47:18.170 --> 00:47:19.850
Call now. Go ahead.
302
00:47:20.970 --> 00:47:28.090
Get in first next week. Mhmm. LP Troll came in first, and they have a suggestion for perhaps a
303
00:47:28.490 --> 00:47:33.355
tech for lawnmower. Okay. Yeah. A low tech solution, you might say. Excellent.
304
00:47:33.994 --> 00:47:37.275
Oh, my soundboard killed me. Look at that. Oh, that's weird.
305
00:47:37.675 --> 00:47:47.950
I got all the clips in there. Well, that isn't LP's fault. That is... This soundboard's getting a little unstable. You know what that means. Time to write our own time to write our own soundboard and replace it.
306
00:47:48.270 --> 00:47:50.750
This is... This failure is unacceptable. Alright. Here we go.
307
00:47:51.150 --> 00:47:51.950
LP.
308
00:47:52.430 --> 00:47:56.350
Hello. This is LP Troll from the real Northern Michigan.
309
00:47:56.829 --> 00:48:01.984
The idea about lawnmowers is best lawnmowers to get your kids.
310
00:48:02.385 --> 00:48:09.665
Put your kids to work. No more freeloaders. Is that my stepdad? Right. I think that was my stepdad. Yeah. So that would be great.
311
00:48:10.224 --> 00:48:19.370
My lawnmower wouldn't start, though. Oh, yeah. You know? And so I I paid a guy that I used to... That came out, like, five years ago. He actually... He mowed here too, but he
312
00:48:20.330 --> 00:48:32.975
he took my lawnmower with him, and he got it fixed. Oh, good. And he cleaned it. Oh. It was really nice. And he brought it back? Yeah. Well, there you go. I haven't started it yet, but I I already need another mow. He mowed last Wednesday. And That's the thing about lawns.
313
00:48:33.135 --> 00:48:42.810
I know. Well, yeah, it's just a really good time of year for the grass to grow just before, you know, at the first freeze. Mhmm. Mhmm. Yeah. Alright. There you go, LP. But otherwise...
314
00:48:43.130 --> 00:48:53.289
It's crossed my mind. Alright. Kevin in Raleigh called in. Hey, Launch. As in Chris Mandela. Hello. Kevin in Raleigh. Hey, Kevin. A slip on your vacation coverage story
315
00:48:54.085 --> 00:48:54.805
is
316
00:48:54.885 --> 00:48:58.325
I've been in the process for the last year or so of
317
00:48:58.885 --> 00:49:04.485
getting folks on the team ready to take over as I look to make my exit.
318
00:49:04.885 --> 00:49:06.165
Recently,
319
00:49:06.165 --> 00:49:14.530
end of July, I went away for two weeks, which I haven't done in forever and was very out of touch except for my cell phone.
320
00:49:15.089 --> 00:49:19.410
And, the team was doing the platform upgrade to a platform we support.
321
00:49:20.195 --> 00:49:23.395
Yeah. They had to call me because it was something unusual. Mhmm.
322
00:49:24.195 --> 00:49:26.675
But we talked through it fifteen minutes.
323
00:49:27.235 --> 00:49:31.875
I was out. They finished it about ten minutes later. Hey. Happy, happy.
324
00:49:32.450 --> 00:49:33.890
Upgrade successful.
325
00:49:34.529 --> 00:49:36.930
My job is successful. Yeah. So
326
00:49:37.170 --> 00:49:39.570
that's the flip side of the vacation story
327
00:49:39.809 --> 00:49:40.930
for coverage.
328
00:49:41.490 --> 00:49:42.290
Anyhow,
329
00:49:42.529 --> 00:50:28.180
have a great rest of the week. Yeah. So why do big projects like that always happen when somebody's out? You know? Like, it just... I mean, I guess there's always a project going on. There's never a good time to take time off. And that sounded that sounded massive. I know. Of course, that's when you took time off. Right. I will... Yeah. Get out of there. It is a good test of the team. Can they do it? Mhmm. That's good to hear. Thanks, Kevin. Awesome. Alright. And Magnolia Mayhem rounds us out with our calls this week. Okay. So probably gonna be a two parter according to the little... Quick little test run just did, but companies that I had one opinion on from the outside and then had another opinion on from the inside. So there's this company here in South Mississippi. I'm not gonna say the name, not because I'm under NDA or anything, but mostly because I would like to stay on the backside of the 30 alt six and not the front. But
330
00:50:28.500 --> 00:50:32.740
they are very well loved by everyone here. In 2017,
331
00:50:32.740 --> 00:50:44.645
after I got out of the military, I was looking for work, and I managed to hook up with the head of security at said company. And it turns out that he had actually been in the same squadron as me
332
00:50:44.965 --> 00:50:46.645
in the military. That
333
00:50:47.845 --> 00:50:54.965
and the fact that I used to moonlight doing security in Las Vegas for iHeart Music and stuff, immediate
334
00:50:54.965 --> 00:50:58.165
hire on the spot. So, I worked there a few years and
335
00:50:58.299 --> 00:51:04.940
got really good at just kinda blending into the background, kind of security guard stuff, not seen until you need to be seen kind of stuff.
336
00:51:05.260 --> 00:51:15.125
And the executives of this company would just blatantly talk about stuff they should not be openly talking about, the people around, but cause we were pretty much furniture at that point,
337
00:51:15.525 --> 00:51:21.125
they would say stop. And I remember I was at a charity event where they were dumping a few million dollars into a high school,
338
00:51:21.525 --> 00:51:23.525
and I heard the word reed be
339
00:51:23.925 --> 00:51:34.230
used for the first time. For the first time in my life, I heard somebody refer to somebody else as a reed, and it was essentially just they were throwing some pocket change up in the air, these roofs were eating it up.
340
00:51:34.630 --> 00:51:35.590
And I
341
00:51:35.670 --> 00:51:36.869
immediately
342
00:51:36.869 --> 00:51:37.590
just,
343
00:51:37.670 --> 00:51:39.910
the illusion was immediately shattered.
344
00:51:40.070 --> 00:51:47.905
That's not to say that everyone in that company was terrible. A lot of the people there were good. The security people were, for the most part, good. You know, I
345
00:51:48.705 --> 00:51:53.665
got to just kind of walk through places and got to know people. The IT guys were there. They were good.
346
00:51:54.145 --> 00:51:55.345
I I
347
00:51:55.345 --> 00:51:59.745
saw this glow out of this room one day at, like, 09:00, and I was doing my my rounds, and I told
348
00:52:00.590 --> 00:52:01.310
what?
349
00:52:01.470 --> 00:52:02.750
What? I mean...
350
00:52:03.870 --> 00:52:06.590
And then he called back, he's like, oh, no. Forget it. Yeah.
351
00:52:06.910 --> 00:52:19.305
So just leave us hanging. Okay. Alright. Well, we got a call for next week. You could just... That would be interesting story... Well, a bit bit of a story each week. I don't know. I don't know if I'd have patience for that. Okay. Alright. Maybe not then. Alright. Well, thank you, Mayhem. We appreciate it. Maybe.
352
00:52:19.305 --> 00:52:24.825
Yeah. Yeah. Alright. I see. Alright. Well, what do you say, Andrews? Should we do some boosts? Mhmm.
353
00:52:25.865 --> 00:52:35.460
And now it is time for the boost. And our podcast is back with our baller, Boost, coming in with 350,000
354
00:52:35.460 --> 00:52:36.420
satoshers.
355
00:52:36.420 --> 00:52:38.020
Hey, Rich Lester.
356
00:52:39.619 --> 00:52:40.420
Boost.
357
00:52:40.420 --> 00:52:43.140
And he is the best.
358
00:52:42.655 --> 00:52:43.775
You're the best
359
00:52:44.095 --> 00:52:44.975
around.
360
00:52:45.214 --> 00:53:06.350
Hello, Chris and Angela. Sending this boost before I go on a road trip with the family to my home state of Michigand. Nice. Shout out to all of that Michiganders listening to the launch. It seems like we do have a few. Yeah. We do. Speaking of while I'm gone, I just finished a massive documentation and examples of a key project. Hopefully, it works. Oh. Oh, our podcast. Keep us posted.
361
00:53:06.350 --> 00:53:24.055
Yeah. Seems to be Like, for work? Like, while you're on the vacation? Is that... Was it call back to the vacation? Sounds like it. Hope it goes well. Yeah. And hope you enjoy the... And hope the trip is safe as well. Yes. Thank you for being our baller booster. Coming in hot with the booze. You're the best. And Pappy is here with 7,038
362
00:53:24.055 --> 00:53:55.860
satooshes. Coming in hot with the boobs. And we'll give him a pew pew. Pew pew pew. There you go. Some value in addition to the member boost. Oh, also, I've been sending sixty nine sixty nine sets frequently on my last time travel run, but you always see them as 70 x x. Is that the Fountain FM cut added to the amount you see in your end? Yeah. They don't take the cuts out of the total. So that way you still get credit for the total amount. Ah, that's Yeah. Yeah. Otherwise, like, we'd only get the percent that we got, and then you don't get full credit. Right? Yeah. So let's just share with girls.
363
00:53:56.020 --> 00:53:58.260
Thank you very much. Appreciate you, Pabin.
364
00:53:58.500 --> 00:53:59.540
Dodgers back.
365
00:53:59.700 --> 00:54:01.860
11,101.
366
00:54:06.180 --> 00:54:18.465
Now is this is the Linux? It's a left one, but we're gonna take it because it made it in here. Have some fries. Thank you. I wonder why that made it in here. Thank you very much. Appreciate you, Daja. Jody came in with 5,678
367
00:54:18.465 --> 00:54:41.605
Satoshis. Let's hear it good, buddy. Longtime JB listener, new to the launch. Alright. Alright. Nice. Take a show. Good to hear Angela's voice again. Yay. I think I have some emails from her back when Amazon Rug pulled the affiliate links. Oh gosh. Still grinds my gears. The worst day ever. Still grinds our gears as well. Still comes up. So you weren't gonna read that Linux one, but you'll you'll get it in Linux unplugged?
368
00:54:41.685 --> 00:54:52.780
Yeah. I think we already did, actually. Oh, okay. We did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. Okay. Maybe I'm mixed... Messed up, but Daja can let me know. I bet Wes is already... Wes probably in check. I'm here. He knows. Tech Geek came in with $25
369
00:54:52.780 --> 00:55:01.205
of Fiat. Alrighty. Thank you, sir. $25 to say just because. We appreciate you very much. And Pabby came in with a free member's boost.
370
00:55:01.845 --> 00:55:02.725
Episode
371
00:55:02.725 --> 00:55:23.740
86, wellness week. Either stacking w's by getting stuff done around the house or nothing productive, just some quality gaming time with a friend. That could be nice. Yeah. Especially when you're playing with somebody else, it's like... It's more of a social thing. Yeah. Also, you need to do a two year sabbatical to get into woodworking. You don't need to. I started recently after a YouTube rabbit hole just as a hobby. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. That's fun.
372
00:55:24.060 --> 00:55:25.500
I feel like I would need
373
00:55:26.140 --> 00:55:42.725
six months just to get to the mental headspace. Oh, I was gonna say just, like, to collect all the items for woodwork... Yeah. That too. I was thinking that too. That's a hard word to say. Thing I would do is I've got, like, list of, like, five, like, fairly critical medical emergency things I should probably take care of. So I should take some time taking care of that
374
00:55:43.200 --> 00:55:48.000
before I die. And then I would then buy all the gear, and then I would start learning and...
375
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:49.520
Yeah. Then you'd probably die
376
00:55:50.560 --> 00:55:52.480
before you accomplish the first thing.
377
00:55:53.440 --> 00:56:00.365
Thank you, Papa John. Appreciate... Or I know that was that was Pappy. Papa John wraps us up. Mhmm. With another member boost.
378
00:56:00.445 --> 00:56:15.250
The best lawn care tip I can give is to set your mower deck to three inches. Okay. Is that high or low? Because I I did I think it's kinda high. I had the guy do the highest, and I'm about to do the highest again on the lawn. Cutting the grass at this height helps it grow more slowly while keeping it healthier.
379
00:56:15.570 --> 00:56:52.910
Hollow grass can absorb more sunlight That's what I was wondering. Develop deeper roots and require less watering. Yeah. Because... And that's what I was thinking is it was staying wet because of how long the blades were. The sun isn't burning it all off. Makes sense. It's all shaded. Yeah. And it would... They would also make sense that in order to support longer grass, they would have to establish a more robust root base. Mhmm. So you're gonna... Even once even once it's... And then once it's established, you could mow it lower, I suppose. Right. Once you mow lower, if any portion of the sun hits the grass, it's gonna kill it. It's gonna... Yeah. Yeah. Dry it out That's rough. In time. That's rough. Yeah. No. I'm I'm gonna tall mow it and, you know, as long as it keeps growing,
380
00:56:53.150 --> 00:57:18.880
and then for the winter, just leave it. Well Yeah. I got answers, and I want some questions. Looks like we don't have any SAT streamers again this week, which is okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. I just really know what's going on there. Perhaps you need to get your Satoshis from a certified vendor. Did you buy that from a certified vendor? But when you look at our summary from our boosters, we had our our podcast and tech geek come in with some nice boost, and everybody else rounded it out. We had two free member boost come in this episode,
381
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:24.795
and we stacked a grand total of 403,777
382
00:57:24.795 --> 00:57:25.755
Satoshis.
383
00:57:25.915 --> 00:57:27.035
That's not bad.
384
00:57:27.355 --> 00:57:38.070
It's about $30 in Fiat converted to current sat market rate. That brings us to that number, and I will take it. Thank you everybody who supports the show with a boost at boost.jupiterbroadcasting.com

391
00:58:06.769 --> 00:58:08.609
Chris found a gem,
392
00:58:08.930 --> 00:58:10.369
an easy flip.
393
00:58:10.450 --> 00:58:12.210
Let's cash it in.
394
00:58:12.690 --> 00:58:15.925
It's barely standing kinda scary, but potential's
395
00:58:15.925 --> 00:58:16.965
extraordinary.
396
00:58:18.484 --> 00:58:20.085
Just trust me,
397
00:58:20.325 --> 00:58:21.045
it's
398
00:58:26.165 --> 00:58:27.525
Just trust me,
399
00:58:27.765 --> 00:58:28.724
it's a a winner.
400
00:58:31.120 --> 00:58:33.680
I'm old enough to remember when Montana
401
00:58:33.680 --> 00:58:35.680
wasn't as expensive as California.
402
00:58:36.080 --> 00:58:44.655
This one I'm calling Montana is crazy because there's no house at all, and it starts at $1,790,000.
403
00:58:44.655 --> 00:58:48.575
Is it right in town? Nine. No. Not quite. Nine acres.
404
00:58:48.974 --> 00:59:01.750
It's a nearly a 100 year old barn on the property. So you got that. And it does have RV hookups, I would be kinda good to go. Oh, that actually is pretty developed. But Yeah. How? In part, it's location. It is location. It's a Okay. It's a beautiful piece of property.
405
00:59:02.070 --> 00:59:04.070
I mean, quintessential Montana
406
00:59:04.150 --> 00:59:05.270
with the trees
407
00:59:05.590 --> 00:59:17.415
and the snow capped hills and a pond and a 100 year old barn and some acreage, you know, 9.95 acres. Yeah. And it's, I think, relatively close to population. So it's got all those things going for it, but it... It's like
408
00:59:17.815 --> 00:59:19.895
real Californication.
409
00:59:19.895 --> 00:59:23.095
I mean, look at... For example of the land, picture 19
410
00:59:23.415 --> 00:59:34.120
gives you a great... It's a nice chunk of land Yeah. But you're not totally isolated either. It's Right. No. You have neighbors. Can see. Mhmm. Mhmm. Well, from wherever you put your house. Wherever you put the house, it doesn't exist. Yeah.
411
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:46.175
That barn is not a convert. You cannot convert. I mean, you could, but it would take a lot of work. It's old. I just I like the pond. I guess when you're spending almost 2 mil on a place Yeah. Like, some of these details are But
412
00:59:46.974 --> 00:59:47.695
for me,
413
00:59:48.415 --> 00:59:56.175
it's funny because, like, when you're on the other end and you're trying to save as much money as possible Mhmm. I'm, like, picking and choosing from the places that don't have water and sewer.
414
00:59:56.790 --> 01:00:04.150
And then you get up to this high end, and you get back into places that don't have water or sewer. Yeah. It's like Right. Yeah. Rich and poor are the same in this exact category
415
01:00:04.150 --> 01:00:13.125
here. It's like both of them don't have water or sewer. It's funny. It's like an Adam Carolla bit. And so you also have to install your own drinking water and sewer once you get there. You
416
01:00:13.365 --> 01:00:14.645
spent $2,000,000. Yeah.
417
01:00:15.525 --> 01:00:27.190
Alright. So let's check out this next one. Might be a little bit more your style. Alright. If you wanna like mine? Well, it depends what your vibe is. If you wanna feel like a little bit of a party animal but have a responsible
418
01:00:27.350 --> 01:00:27.910
front,
419
01:00:28.310 --> 01:00:32.630
I'm calling this one business up front, party in the back. Okay. Six bathroom,
420
01:00:33.110 --> 01:00:36.310
four four bedrooms. Starting with the bathroom. Six bathroom for
421
01:00:36.310 --> 01:00:42.295
four bedrooms, which I think is very funny. Yes. I don't know why. I just... I love that. Yeah. House was built in 1958.
422
01:00:42.695 --> 01:00:50.375
They really invested in a in a bathroom to bed ratio. It's call... Coming in at $1,200,000.
423
01:00:50.615 --> 01:00:51.095
It.
424
01:00:51.415 --> 01:00:54.775
Yeah. Well, so you look at it. It's almost like a traditional 56
425
01:00:54.775 --> 01:00:55.655
sold. Yes.
426
01:00:56.319 --> 01:00:59.600
It's when you get to picture six. That's why I say it's it's a mullet
427
01:00:59.680 --> 01:01:05.440
because it looks like just a real quaint American brick house. Yeah. It looks like a Brady Bunch
428
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:21.234
Yeah. House. Like, just very not But then you get to picture six, and you realize that the inside is built around an indoor pool. Yeah. The house is built... It doesn't look like it from the front. No. It looks like a standard house, but the inside is built around the outdoor... Well, an indoor pool
429
01:01:21.890 --> 01:01:25.730
with, like, a second, like, promenade layer. I mean, I don't know.
430
01:01:26.050 --> 01:01:39.135
It's just really funny. It looks like a little town with... Around a pool or like a hotel, like a motel where it wraps around like a u shape almost, but it's just close. And... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How cool. It's got a pool table.
431
01:01:39.535 --> 01:01:53.470
Definitely needs some upgrades. They have yellow sinks. The bathrooms are Yeah. Out of date. That tub looks like it's literally from 1984. The tub is cool, though. It's sunk into the ground. No. It is. Yeah. It just has that nineteen eighties look. Can you imagine slipping into it? You notice how it has two faucets? Why
432
01:01:53.790 --> 01:01:54.510
do you need... I
433
01:01:54.910 --> 01:02:17.555
guess just to fill it up faster? I guess. They have, a a sunroom Mhmm. Like, where you can see to the pool area, but it's completely blocked off, so it doesn't get moisture in there. I imagine. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, you know, it's got a pond. It looks like there's a basement Mhmm. With a drum setup. It's it's interesting. It is very interesting. It's funny how you... It's so unsuspecting from the front. You have no idea at all.
434
01:02:17.955 --> 01:02:24.619
And I find that to be... It's a one story. It looks kinda like a ranch brick house from the front. Yeah. And the back looks like a church. Yeah.
435
01:02:25.099 --> 01:02:26.460
In picture 34.
436
01:02:26.460 --> 01:02:34.700
You really gotta love pools to do this too. Right? Like, you gotta be all in on pools to build your house around a pool. They have lots of trees and the shaded area. This is really cool.
437
01:02:35.405 --> 01:02:38.285
It does look like a church from the back. It's
438
01:02:38.285 --> 01:02:43.085
big. Oh, you got a fence. It's a pool house in the back. Yeah. Here you go. 5,390
439
01:02:43.085 --> 01:02:45.885
square feet, four beds, six bath, 1.2
440
01:02:45.885 --> 01:02:52.380
milli. I like it. It is fun. Yeah. Although you're... Everything's gonna smell like probably Yeah.
441
01:02:52.700 --> 01:03:03.275
Yeah. Unless you do salt or something like that. Yeah. Okay. Now this next one, I say focus on the location. Okay. So it's ugly. The description says it's an open living area that surrounds a pool.
442
01:03:03.835 --> 01:03:10.555
Alright? So Oh, so it sounds exactly like the previous one. Two beds, one bath Okay. 1,700 square feet. Alright.
443
01:03:11.790 --> 01:03:25.230
Let's see. It's pretty cheap, yeah, considering. It's about a $102 a square feet when I did the math. But the real thing is it sits just a few blocks from the University of Illinois campus. Oh, okay. So if you wanna have a party house The SSL. It. The problem is
444
01:03:25.605 --> 01:03:27.525
this is a $180,000
445
01:03:27.525 --> 01:03:28.085
house
446
01:03:28.645 --> 01:03:30.245
that looks like a garage.
447
01:03:30.885 --> 01:03:37.765
The front of the house looks like a garage. It doesn't... Or or maybe a maybe a shed. Yeah. It's like that A big shed. Corrugated corrugated
448
01:03:37.925 --> 01:03:45.730
siding. Mhmm. Plat... Like, plastic metal. And it's it's... It looks like a it looks like a long shed with a garage door. Yeah. Where even is the door?
449
01:03:46.130 --> 01:03:52.690
I think it's along the side somewhere. Yeah. There isn't even a front door or a porch. It's it's just literally a garage door. Yeah. And then when you go inside
450
01:03:53.250 --> 01:04:03.435
It... Got a pool. Is They've got a pool. There's a pool in the middle of the house. Like, you can literally see They've got a the dining room, the kitchen Yep. The living room. Yep.
451
01:04:03.595 --> 01:04:06.795
It's all built around It's the all built around the pool. Craft room,
452
01:04:07.115 --> 01:04:07.755
which You
453
01:04:08.234 --> 01:04:13.410
can splash the television. You can splash the couch. Yes. You can splash the fridge.
454
01:04:13.730 --> 01:04:16.370
This is weird. No. It's very weird. No.
455
01:04:16.690 --> 01:04:20.290
It's too much. No. I mean, this truly is everything would smell like pool.
456
01:04:20.610 --> 01:04:23.090
Also, like, can't have kids or small pets. No.
457
01:04:23.825 --> 01:04:26.865
Yeah. You're supposed to have a fence around. Don't have the elderly come visit.
458
01:04:27.345 --> 01:04:38.880
Gross. I don't wanna share my pool with everyone. It's... Isn't that wild? It is really wild. It's... That's no. In some of the photos It's a no from me. In some of the photos, not all of them, but in some of the photos, the pool doesn't look like it's in very good No.
459
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:41.119
I just stanky,
460
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:53.345
gross pool literally in the middle of your house. Yep. Alright. To redeem myself Okay. I... We've talked about some of these church conversions. Yes. This is a church conversion done right, built in 1896.
461
01:04:53.505 --> 01:04:57.025
Oh. And it's been loaded with, like, stained glass windows
462
01:04:57.025 --> 01:05:00.865
and soaring sanctuary ceilings that were preserved from the original church.
463
01:05:01.185 --> 01:05:12.090
Five bedrooms, 3.5 bath. Mhmm. Know, it's a 130 old structure, so it's got a vibe too. Yeah. It's got a real vibe. It has a bunch of solar panels. It's also got a price, $5,900,000.
464
01:05:12.329 --> 01:05:13.530
Wow. Yeah.
465
01:05:14.010 --> 01:05:19.805
But of all of the church conversions we've ever talked about on the show, I think this is the best of them. Mhmm.
466
01:05:20.045 --> 01:05:24.125
Really like the roof. It's pretty good. I really like the way they did the interior roof, that giant
467
01:05:24.285 --> 01:05:29.164
Yeah. The church ceiling, but they painted it white, so it's not dark. Yeah. It probably would have been natural
468
01:05:30.630 --> 01:05:52.465
natural wood, but white white is good too. It's weird. It's a little weird. To me. But it looks... I bet you it's the same color of the windowsills. It would have been the same color as the windowsills, I I would imagine. Mhmm. There's a church pew in there. Yeah. But a nice large kitchen. I mean, there are rooms that you could go into that do not even feel like you're in a church. Right? Yeah. Definitely. A of times we see these conversions like, oh, yeah. This is definitely a classroom or, yeah, this is definitely a church room.
469
01:05:52.945 --> 01:05:56.305
Do not Yeah. Be like Or a bank. Yep. There's the vault.
470
01:05:57.660 --> 01:06:03.260
Little office area upstairs in the loft. It's it's just nice. Now at $6,000,000
471
01:06:03.500 --> 01:06:04.140
Yeah.
472
01:06:04.540 --> 01:06:06.380
It is 4,267
473
01:06:06.380 --> 01:06:08.540
square feet, but still, it's...
474
01:06:08.859 --> 01:06:14.865
That's just a lot. Picture 26 has, like, a stairway with windows on the... To the right of it. Oh, yeah? Okay.
475
01:06:15.265 --> 01:06:23.665
It's Colorado for you. Kind of interesting. It must be like where either they added another building or... They must have added one to it, and this is the original wall here. Yeah. Mhmm.
476
01:06:23.985 --> 01:06:25.665
Which is often... That's kinda cool.
477
01:06:26.450 --> 01:06:30.690
Interesting. Like, I see that a lot in old construction. Mhmm. It's a 130 years old. Right? Yeah.
478
01:06:30.930 --> 01:06:43.645
Oh, you can go up to the Bell Tower. You know, I was thinking it was only a 100 years old. That's how not with reality I am on the year... What year it is. I like that the bell tower is still there. It doesn't have a bell, but you can go there. You're right. It's loaded with solar.
479
01:06:43.885 --> 01:06:47.565
No. They melted all the bells down, claiming that they needed it for war.
480
01:06:47.725 --> 01:06:50.045
Oh. But they were healing frequencies.
481
01:06:50.845 --> 01:06:59.030
Well, I like bells. So there you go. I like bells. This is a beautiful little Colorado area. Basalt, Colorado, I think it was when I looked it up. Really
482
01:06:59.349 --> 01:07:13.945
nice. Really nice. That price though. No. That price. Yeah. The price is a bit much. If you could afford that, send us a boost. Boost. That's right. Yeah. Right. If you're considering that Yeah. Here's the here's the boost. Alright. There you go. We'll have links in the show notes. Another helpful PSA.
