00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.160
<v Paul>Drew, how the hell are you?

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.920
<v Drew>Paul, you're not watching the uh Ohio State Ohio game?

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Paul>I don't have Peacock and I'm not gonna pay for a month of Peacock to watch it.

00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:15.300
<v Drew>So literally it's literally what happened in this house.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:16.420
<v Drew>I just bought a month a poke.

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:17.380
<v Drew>Okay.

00:00:17.380 --> 00:00:18.420
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:18.820
<v Paul>No.

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:19.300
<v Paul>No.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.260
<v Paul>Although my son is at the game, so hope he's gonna be a good one.

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:23.060
<v Paul>I wondered.

00:00:23.540 --> 00:00:24.260
<v Paul>I wondered.

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:24.900
<v Paul>Yes.

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:26.720
<v Paul>Cool.

00:00:27.759 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Drew>Uh okay.

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Drew>Um where do you want to start here?

00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.400
<v Paul>Uh I've I've I've got I've got uh

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.440
<v Paul>Uh I have I'm looking at an email here uh from a friend of the show, Andrew.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:42.559
<v Paul>Hi, Andrew.

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Paul>And uh he says

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Paul>that uh you owe him 200 push-ups and then he rec corrected himself with another email saying oops pull-ups.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Paul>So uh

00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:54.300
<v Paul>So 200 more.

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:54.860
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:00:54.860 --> 00:01:03.340
<v Drew>So the gym, the gym that I belong to has an app, uh, and that's how you sign up for classes and sort of track your progress.

00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:12.900
<v Drew>And so far for the month of September, and we're approaching the halfway mark, I am at 25 pull-ups.

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:16.659
<v Drew>Well, so okay, here but here's the thing though.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:18.260
<v Drew>I was gone most of this week.

00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:18.500
<v Drew>week.

00:01:18.740 --> 00:01:23.060
<v Drew>And I I didn't have access to a thing that I could do strict pull-ups on.

00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:24.020
<v Drew>Mm-hmm.

00:01:24.020 --> 00:01:27.860
<v Drew>So uh I'm I'm home the rest of the month and I will be at the gym

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:35.060
<v Drew>f at least four days a week from here on out, and I plan to hit sets uh either before, after, or both for class.

00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:38.180
<v Drew>There were a few people who reached out on Blue Sky.

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:39.940
<v Drew>Um, you know, so I think

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:44.140
<v Drew>My goal is to get to 500 pull-ups by the end of the month.

00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:44.780
<v Drew>Okay.

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:45.420
<v Drew>Okay.

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:46.060
<v Drew>Respectable.

00:01:46.220 --> 00:01:47.020
<v Drew>Respectable.

00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:53.820
<v Drew>And it's like, you know, look, if I if I go to the gym four days a week for the rest of the month, that's

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:54.940
<v Drew>I don't know.

00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:55.980
<v Drew>So that's like what?

00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:58.300
<v Drew>There's two full weeks left in the in the month, right?

00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:59.260
<v Drew>Mm-hmm.

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:05.740
<v Drew>So that's I mean, that's 160 if I do 20 per class.

00:02:05.740 --> 00:02:08.860
<v Drew>If I do 30 per class.

00:02:08.420 --> 00:02:15.540
<v Drew>uh I can I can get to 200 I can get to 265 total with the ones I already have.

00:02:15.540 --> 00:02:19.140
<v Drew>So uh I I I gotta I gotta get I gotta get on it.

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:19.760
<v Drew>Yeah, yeah.

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:20.880
<v Drew>Get get to it, buddy.

00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:21.440
<v Drew>Get to it.

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:21.920
<v Drew>Yeah, yeah.

00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Drew>The pup the puppy the puppies need me.

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:24.640
<v Paul>They do.

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Paul>They do.

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.160
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.040
<v Drew>So part of the reason I'm a little bit behind is I went to a new place this week.

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:31.540
<v Drew>Okay.

00:02:31.540 --> 00:02:32.100
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:33.620
<v Drew>How was that?

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:36.180
<v Drew>Uh boy brother.

00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:37.060
<v Drew>Okay.

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.100
<v Drew>So that good.

00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:40.420
<v Drew>Well

00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:42.739
<v Drew>Not good or not bad.

00:02:42.739 --> 00:02:43.060
<v Drew>Okay.

00:02:43.700 --> 00:02:45.060
<v Drew>I think that's a nice way to put it.

00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:49.860
<v Drew>So I traveled to Omaha and Nebraska this week.

00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:52.579
<v Drew>First time I've ever been to Nebraska.

00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:59.959
<v Drew>And it was in support of a customer of mine that I work very closely with who's doing some really, really cool stuff.

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:04.200
<v Drew>They were having this big center of excellence meeting around, you know.

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:13.959
<v Drew>All things data, they invited me and my company out there to present to them on a on a bunch of things, and I ended up basically MCing the whole thing.

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:16.180
<v Drew>Um, but it was it was really good though.

00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:26.180
<v Drew>See, my favorite kinds of customer meetings aren't where I'm just there teaching or pitching or trying to tell them to do something different.

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:34.820
<v Drew>I like when they talk about the stuff that they're doing or have done, and then then we talk about, okay, well, what's next?

00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:38.020
<v Drew>Those are always so much more productive.

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:38.260
<v Drew>But

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Drew>The meetings were great.

00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Drew>Everything was great.

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Drew>But I want to talk about Omaha because it's a it's a really interesting vibe.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Drew>So so first and foremost, you have to understand.

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Drew>You ha you have to understand and you you must understand this, dear listener.

00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Drew>Mm-hmm.

00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:59.660
<v Drew>Columbus is not a big town.

00:03:59.660 --> 00:04:01.020
<v Drew>No, no.

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:01.500
<v Drew>No.

00:04:02.380 --> 00:04:04.060
<v Drew>It's a growing city.

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:07.500
<v Drew>It has a pretty solid urban core.

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:09.340
<v Drew>Lots of suburbs.

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:18.400
<v Drew>And I would say, you know, compared to other Midwestern cities, you know, pretty modern, right?

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:21.840
<v Drew>Our airport isn't the biggest, but it's modern.

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:04:22.820 --> 00:04:28.420
<v Drew>You know, uh we have, you know, we have a nice corporate presence here.

00:04:28.420 --> 00:04:36.100
<v Drew>We've got a lot of big companies like Nationwide, Cardinal Health, um, you know, a bunch of others that I'm forgetting right now, but

00:04:36.580 --> 00:04:38.820
<v Drew>A lot of good companies here.

00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:49.620
<v Drew>Omaha is like if you took Columbus and you grabbed a rolling pin and you sort of just squished and flattened Columbus out a little bit more.

00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:50.580
<v Drew>Okay.

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Drew>It's just a very, very wide city.

00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Drew>There's there there is a a quote unquote downtown.

00:04:59.580 --> 00:05:01.980
<v Drew>But there's not a ton of skyscrapers.

00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:03.980
<v Drew>I mean, there's big, big companies there.

00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:07.980
<v Drew>Like Union Pacific has a very, very big presence there.

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:12.220
<v Drew>Mutual of Omaha, which is a huge insurance conglomerate.

00:05:12.039 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Drew>They have a really big presence in the city.

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Drew>A couple other small companies there.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:24.840
<v Drew>But getting around there was a challenge because everything is just so spread out.

00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:30.460
<v Drew>So first first and foremost, you know, I getting there is a little bit of a challenge.

00:05:30.460 --> 00:05:33.820
<v Drew>Now getting anywhere from Columbus is a little bit of a challenge.

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:35.980
<v Drew>And I gotta tell you, quick little sidebar here.

00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:39.100
<v Drew>I was the latest I've ever been for a flight.

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.940
<v Drew>Oh boy.

00:05:40.940 --> 00:05:45.500
<v Drew>They were they were calling my name, which as you can imagine is is hilarious.

00:05:45.820 --> 00:05:49.660
<v Drew>Oh, here's what how did they go your last name?

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:56.860
<v Drew>Well, so as as I was sprinting from security to the gate, it was like still looking for passenger Andrew.

00:05:56.780 --> 00:05:59.660
<v Drew>And then a and then a pause and like I know what's coming, right?

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.460
<v Drew>So like uh they're like, oh no.

00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:04.540
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:04.940
<v Drew>So

00:06:05.820 --> 00:06:11.260
<v Drew>Uh my flight was at 910 in the morning this week.

00:06:11.260 --> 00:06:13.340
<v Drew>And, you know, we have veto.

00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:13.660
<v Drew>So

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:22.820
<v Drew>you know, I was I was really apprehensive about leaving him alone with Mandy because, you know, it's easier when when she's gone, 'cause I work at home.

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:26.460
<v Drew>So I can still like be with him during the day, be with him at night.

00:06:26.460 --> 00:06:29.260
<v Drew>And, you know, it Mandy's perfectly capable of taking care of him.

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:31.180
<v Drew>That's not what I'm trying to say.

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:38.500
<v Drew>It's just that, you know, handling him by yourself is hard right now because you have to kind of keep an eye on him still and

00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:43.620
<v Drew>You know, she wants to work out in the morning and she likes to go to bed earlier.

00:06:43.620 --> 00:06:47.860
<v Drew>And one of the biggest challenges we're having with him right now is him going to bed on time.

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:49.460
<v Drew>It's just it was a whole thing, right?

00:06:49.460 --> 00:06:52.020
<v Drew>So I had a lot of nervousness about that.

00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:52.340
<v Drew>So

00:06:52.820 --> 00:06:57.140
<v Drew>You know, I am a get to the airport relatively early kind of guy.

00:06:57.140 --> 00:07:04.420
<v Drew>I've since broken myself uh unless I'm flying internationally, I've sort of broken myself of the habit of getting to the airport two hours early.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:05.460
<v Drew>I like to get

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Drew>I like to walk into the terminal at Port Columbus about 70 minutes before a flight.

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Drew>Okay.

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Drew>That's very reasonable for Portland.

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:16.800
<v Drew>I like the timing.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Drew>So I I left my house at like quarter after seven that day.

00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:28.960
<v Drew>Now from my house to the airport is like 30 minutes.

00:07:28.960 --> 00:07:34.640
<v Drew>But I didn't realize how bad rush hour traffic is in Columbus right now.

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:35.840
<v Drew>Oh yeah.

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:37.440
<v Drew>And there was a lot of construction.

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:40.960
<v Drew>So it took me close to an hour to get all the way there.

00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:45.280
<v Drew>And then as I'm driving into the airport, there's a ton of construction at the airport right now.

00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:49.400
<v Drew>I'm driving down the main road and it's and I like to park in the garage.

00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Drew>I get all the way down there, it says the garage is closed.

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Paul>So now I how is the why how is the garage closed?

00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:57.099
<v Paul>It was fun.

00:07:57.099 --> 00:07:57.900
<v Paul>Oh fuck.

00:07:57.900 --> 00:07:58.860
<v Paul>That's never happened to me.

00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:02.300
<v Paul>Now now that's something I'm gonna worry about next time.

00:08:02.300 --> 00:08:02.940
<v Paul>Yep.

00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:04.780
<v Drew>Oh so I had to then like

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Drew>Loop all the way around, drive all the way out to one of the satellite lots, wait for a shuttle.

00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.280
<v Drew>And as I'm getting on the shuttle, I'm getting a boarding notification.

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:13.400
<v Drew>And I'm like, wait a minute.

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:16.259
<v Drew>I didn't think my flight boarded for another like twenty minutes.

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:25.060
<v Drew>I thought I was gonna be okay, but no, I had misread like the Southwest app is a little bit wonky with the way it shows you boarding versus

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:26.979
<v Drew>Departure time.

00:08:26.979 --> 00:08:29.460
<v Drew>Uh the departure time was nine ten.

00:08:29.460 --> 00:08:31.699
<v Drew>The boarding time was not tense was not nine ten.

00:08:31.699 --> 00:08:33.060
<v Drew>So I was like super late.

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:33.380
<v Drew>So

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Drew>I, you know, I I basically sprinted off the shuttle.

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.680
<v Drew>Thank God there was literally no one in line on security.

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:41.520
<v Drew>I walked right through.

00:08:41.459 --> 00:08:46.820
<v Drew>and like sprinted down the the jet way and then I was like in the last available seat on this airplane.

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:49.540
<v Drew>Now thankfully the flights were were pretty easy.

00:08:49.540 --> 00:08:54.420
<v Drew>But anyway, that's I I'm I was so embarrassed and so stressed out

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:56.740
<v Drew>On top of all the stress that I already feel.

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:59.380
<v Drew>But anyway, so getting getting to Omaha.

00:08:59.380 --> 00:09:03.140
<v Drew>So I flew southwest and I've had

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Drew>I have come to respect Southwest as an airline.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Drew>It wasn't always my first choice, but the one thing I really like about Southwest is Big Plane.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.040
<v Drew>Big plane.

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:11.520
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:17.740
<v Drew>Lots of room, flies a little bit higher than the regional jets, is a little less susceptible to turbulence.

00:09:17.740 --> 00:09:20.620
<v Drew>So I'm willing to fly on Southwest as opposed to my

00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Drew>Big Delta status boy.

00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:29.839
<v Drew>Uh and honestly, in this particular instance, it was so much better because all I had to do was hop on an hour flight to St.

00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:32.160
<v Drew>Louis and then an hour flight to Omaha.

00:09:32.020 --> 00:09:38.740
<v Drew>versus like a 20-minute flight to Detroit and then like a goofy ass layover and then a flight to Omaha.

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:40.980
<v Drew>So long story short, it all worked out.

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:44.900
<v Drew>But the initial impression that you get at that airport

00:09:45.520 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Drew>It's not good.

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.080
<v Drew>It's not good.

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.560
<v Drew>So like like Paul, Port Columbus is not a big airport.

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:53.680
<v Paul>It is not.

00:09:54.079 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Drew>All of the gates in this terminal you can see.

00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Drew>You can see every gate from each other gate.

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Drew>Oh.

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:03.680
<v Drew>Yeah, so the name of the the name of the airport is Epley filled.

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:04.880
<v Drew>Now there are two terminals.

00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Drew>And there is a nicer newer terminal and they're going through a modernization, but literally it's just this little hexagon, or no, I'm sorry, this little uh rectangle of gates, all right next to each other.

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Drew>It's like

00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:18.560
<v Drew>And it's so cute.

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:22.560
<v Drew>They do the thing where it's like, hey, gates B 20 through 40.

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:23.839
<v Drew>Just say 20.

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Drew>Just say you have 20 gates.

00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:29.040
<v Drew>Don't make it sound like you have 40 gates, first of all.

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:32.180
<v Drew>Uh it was it was a it was a cute little thing.

00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:36.420
<v Drew>Um and then like coming back, it was literally the reverse of what I did

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:40.680
<v Drew>The problem was getting back, I either I had a choice.

00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Drew>I could either leave on a 520 AM flight

00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:46.100
<v Drew>Or I could leave on a 9 a.

00:10:46.100 --> 00:10:46.180
<v Drew>m.

00:10:46.260 --> 00:10:46.580
<v Drew>flight.

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:47.620
<v Drew>If I left on the 9 a.

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:47.780
<v Drew>m.

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:49.700
<v Drew>flight, I had a four-hour layover in St.

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:51.700
<v Drew>Louis before I could get home to Columbus.

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:53.460
<v Drew>So I did the earlier flight.

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.980
<v Drew>I was home before 11 a.

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.140
<v Drew>m.

00:10:55.380 --> 00:10:57.700
<v Drew>, but man, I had to like get up super early, get to

00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Drew>the airport.

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.360
<v Drew>And then like TSA wasn't even open yet when I got there.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.920
<v Drew>Like it was a whole thing.

00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:09.040
<v Drew>But yeah, Omaha was was definitely an interesting city.

00:11:09.040 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Drew>Now

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:15.700
<v Drew>I will say that in terms of like restaurants, it's steakhouse after steakhouse after steakhouse after steakhouse, right?

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:18.340
<v Drew>That's cattle, that's cattle country, it's farm country.

00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:20.340
<v Drew>The food was good.

00:11:20.839 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Drew>Uh, but just just a really weird just a really weird city.

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:29.079
<v Drew>And then I was at dinner with uh some people and I said, you know, where does everybody live here?

00:11:29.260 --> 00:11:32.700
<v Drew>Because everything downtown is just like businesses and restaurants.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:36.620
<v Drew>A lot of stuff's closed till dinner, at least in in the area that I was.

00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:38.940
<v Drew>And I I asked people, I'm like, well, where does everybody live?

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:41.500
<v Drew>And they're like, oh, they live in the suburbs, you know.

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Drew>You know, everything's like forty minutes away.

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Drew>It's all freeway driving.

00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Drew>It's all really flat and like that tracks.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:47.920
<v Drew>But I was like, well, why does anybody live downtown?

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:48.800
<v Drew>And he said it's simple.

00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Drew>There's no grocery stores downtown.

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:51.920
<v Drew>No.

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Drew>Like and and you know, and after after they said that to me, I you know, I had walked to the restaurant.

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.839
<v Drew>It was like a three-block walk from what I was saying, but

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:03.880
<v Drew>I was like a you know, I walked at three blocks.

00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:08.920
<v Drew>I didn't see a CVS, I didn't see a Walgreens, I didn't see a grocery store, I didn't see anything like that.

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.160
<v Drew>So it was just it was just really, really weird.

00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Drew>Like every other city I've been to, there's always a CVS or something nearby.

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:18.780
<v Drew>And there were apartment complexes.

00:12:18.780 --> 00:12:23.260
<v Drew>Like there were there was some of that like, you know, uh, what's the word I'm looking for?

00:12:23.260 --> 00:12:27.740
<v Drew>Not gentrified, but like just you know

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:28.780
<v Drew>You know what I'm talking about.

00:12:28.780 --> 00:12:33.660
<v Drew>We have them here in Columbus, like these sort of like modern quote unquote modern apartment complexes.

00:12:33.660 --> 00:12:40.540
<v Drew>They were kind of sprinkled around the downtown area, but I didn't but yeah, like I don't I don't know how you wouldn't do that.

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:45.940
<v Drew>Like how you wouldn't be able to walk to like get a prescription or get like, you know, toiletries and stuff.

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:47.139
<v Drew>So I guess that kind of makes sense.

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:49.779
<v Drew>But anyway, really, really weird town.

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Drew>Um yeah, but yeah, and then like Uber's U Uber was also a weird experience.

00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Drew>Uh

00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.160
<v Drew>It was it was really long Uber ride.

00:13:02.160 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Drew>So like from where I was staying to go to the customer was like on the other side of Omaha.

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.000
<v Drew>And like I said, it's very, very spread out.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Drew>So it was like a 30-minute ride.

00:13:12.420 --> 00:13:14.100
<v Drew>through nothing.

00:13:14.100 --> 00:13:14.660
<v Drew>Right.

00:13:14.819 --> 00:13:17.300
<v Drew>Wasn't a lot of traffic lights, wasn't a lot of freeways.

00:13:17.300 --> 00:13:19.860
<v Drew>It was just like uh it was like a little drive.

00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:23.220
<v Drew>And it was really cheap.

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:29.780
<v Drew>It was like, you know, an a nor like if I were to take an Uber ride of that length in like Chicago, it'd be like a sixty dollar Uber ride.

00:13:29.780 --> 00:13:30.260
<v Drew>Yes.

00:13:30.580 --> 00:13:31.940
<v Drew>It was like it was like twelve bucks.

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.900
<v Drew>It was like huh.

00:13:34.900 --> 00:13:35.460
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:36.500
<v Drew>That was yeah.

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:38.180
<v Drew>So uh weird vibe.

00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:42.580
<v Drew>I will have to go back there a few more times uh because of this shit, but uh

00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:45.780
<v Drew>Yeah, that's that's kind of where I was all week.

00:13:45.780 --> 00:13:47.940
<v Drew>Um what did you do this week?

00:13:48.020 --> 00:13:50.820
<v Paul>Uh what did I do this week?

00:13:50.820 --> 00:13:52.420
<v Paul>Uh I uh

00:13:54.779 --> 00:14:02.060
<v Paul>Work, tennis, uh yeah, and I got my dishwasher installed, so yay.

00:14:02.060 --> 00:14:06.940
<v Drew>Okay, let's let's jump to that because we've we've had our dishwasher for a little while now.

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.020
<v Drew>I want to hear your impressions.

00:14:09.260 --> 00:14:12.860
<v Paul>I really like this dishwasher.

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:14.380
<v Drew>Okay, what do you like about it?

00:14:14.380 --> 00:14:15.100
<v Paul>Okay, so

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:21.220
<v Paul>I got the black stainless because that kind of dismatches which which is my kitchen.

00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:23.940
<v Paul>It is it it is

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:29.019
<v Paul>Weird to say a dishwasher looks beautiful, but my dishwasher is beautiful.

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:30.540
<v Drew>It's pretty sleek, right?

00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:33.660
<v Drew>I'm pretty sure you and I got the exact same one, except it's different colors.

00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:34.140
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:14:34.140 --> 00:14:37.820
<v Paul>It's got the recessed handle and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:40.339
<v Paul>Uh 800 series, yeah, the whole thing.

00:14:40.339 --> 00:14:46.580
<v Paul>Uh so I had this LD dishwasher ever since I've been in this house.

00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:48.980
<v Paul>It was it was fine, it was fine.

00:14:49.420 --> 00:14:54.860
<v Paul>But what the first my first experience with the new dishwasher is opening it, right?

00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:56.540
<v Paul>You go to open the dishwasher.

00:14:56.540 --> 00:14:56.940
<v Drew>Uh-huh

00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.360
<v Paul>And as soon as I did that, I was like, oh, oh.

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.640
<v Paul>This is a premium experience because that door is heavy.

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Paul>It's got a real smooth hinge.

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.760
<v Paul>It like auto closes when you get it but high enough.

00:15:10.760 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Paul>Like it was just, it was just really It's extremely well built, right?

00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.480
<v Paul>Yes, exactly.

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Paul>Exactly.

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:22.920
<v Paul>Uh, and I've I've read it a few times and all of my stuff has come out just absolutely clean.

00:15:22.920 --> 00:15:28.760
<v Paul>Uh though Drew, I do want to read f from you uh a a little bit of the uh

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:29.540
<v Paul>the manual.

00:15:29.540 --> 00:15:33.780
<v Paul>I'm I'm one of those freaks that when they get a new appliance they look at the manual.

00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:34.500
<v Paul>I do too.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:36.660
<v Drew>But I don't remember anything out of the ordinary.

00:15:36.660 --> 00:15:38.740
<v Paul>Okay, so I just want I just want to read this to you here.

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:41.300
<v Paul>This is this is from page 18.

00:15:41.140 --> 00:15:45.780
<v Paul>Under the section uh loading dishware.

00:15:45.780 --> 00:15:49.060
<v Paul>Remove large remnants of food from dishware.

00:15:49.060 --> 00:15:53.940
<v Paul>To save resources, do not pre-rinse dishware under running water

00:15:53.959 --> 00:15:54.680
<v Paul>There you go.

00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Paul>Right from the manual.

00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Paul>Don't rinse your fucking dishes.

00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:58.040
<v Paul>Thank you.

00:15:58.040 --> 00:15:58.920
<v Paul>Okay.

00:15:59.640 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Paul>Now, do you do you do you scrape yours?

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:05.779
<v Paul>Yeah, I sc I s I as I say I scrape, I don't rinse.

<v Paul>I get the I get the chunks off, but Yeah, Mandy Mandy corrected me too, for what it's worth.

00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:13.220
<v Paul>Mandy corrected me too.

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:14.259
<v Paul>Scrape, don't rinse.

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:15.380
<v Paul>You're just wasting water.

00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:16.899
<v Paul>Wasting water.

00:16:16.459 --> 00:16:21.339
<v Paul>And your your soap's gonna work better with a little bit of a little bit of fat to to cling on to.

00:16:21.339 --> 00:16:21.980
<v Paul>So yeah.

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:23.260
<v Paul>Yeah, it's amazing.

00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:24.140
<v Paul>It's amazing.

00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:25.660
<v Paul>It's quiet.

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:26.180
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:16:26.180 --> 00:16:27.380
<v Paul>Oh, it's so quiet.

00:16:27.380 --> 00:16:27.860
<v Paul>Uh-huh.

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:33.860
<v Drew>Okay, so I knew that this what this dishwasher was gonna be great for one very simple reason.

00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:34.020
<v Drew>So

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Drew>I uh I I force myself to drink protein drinks during the day because I need to up my protein intake for a few reasons.

00:16:43.540 --> 00:16:50.500
<v Drew>And you know, I I have the powder, a daddy's powder, and I I put it in there, I mix it with water, I stir it up with a spoon.

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:50.820
<v Drew>And

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:58.300
<v Drew>You know, before we had our new dishwasher, I was noticing that there was always a little bit of that brown remnant powder in there.

00:16:58.300 --> 00:16:59.899
<v Paul>Yeah, and that's no good.

00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:05.900
<v Drew>And it in in plastic cups, I just thought, oh, maybe it's just like a residue and I would go to rinse it out, but it wouldn't like rinse out.

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:08.780
<v Drew>It was almost like it had become part of the plastic.

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:13.180
<v Drew>Ever since we started washing it in this dishwasher, it's gone now.

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:14.140
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:15.039
<v Drew>Yeah, it's it's just gone now.

00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Drew>It's so good.

00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.959
<v Drew>Now, did you set up the app?

00:17:18.959 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Paul>I did, yes.

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.280
<v Paul>What do you think?

00:17:22.679 --> 00:17:30.120
<v Paul>I I I I think there's exactly one feature of the app that I'm going to like is notifications when my

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.900
<v Paul>When my rent sate is low.

00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:32.780
<v Paul>That's about it.

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:36.860
<v Drew>Oh yeah.

00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:38.620
<v Drew>It's and then what do you think?

00:17:38.620 --> 00:17:41.900
<v Drew>What do you think of the LED that is like shining on your floor?

00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.960
<v Paul>I don't have that.

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.600
<v Paul>What?

00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:48.280
<v Paul>Mine mine has a little white light along the handle when it's running.

00:17:48.280 --> 00:17:49.960
<v Paul>There is no LED on the floor.

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.520
<v Paul>Oh, maybe we don't have the same one.

00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:54.360
<v Drew>Interesting.

00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Drew>Mine has a red LED that shines on the floor.

00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.040
<v Paul>Yeah, mine I was fully expecting that and uh I did I did not

00:18:02.620 --> 00:18:06.380
<v Paul>Here, I'll put I'll put a link uh into what I got here.

00:18:06.940 --> 00:18:08.780
<v Drew>Yeah, let's make sure we're getting the same one here.

00:18:08.780 --> 00:18:10.700
<v Drew>I mean, I think we have the same series.

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:13.980
<v Paul>Yeah, it is yeah, it's the same series for sure.

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.300

<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Paul>Nope.

00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:29.840
<v Paul>Nope.

<v Paul>Command C, Paul.

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.520
<v Paul>Command C is the copy command.

00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Paul>I am doing great.

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.520
<v Paul>Uh

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Paul>Okay, here we go.

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.800
<v Paul>Here we go.

00:18:41.800 --> 00:18:43.000
<v Paul>Okay, yep, yep.

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:48.360
<v Paul>And link coming into the chat.

00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Paul>There you go.

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.560
<v Drew>Yeah, this is this is slightly different than mine.

00:18:53.040 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Drew>This is slightly different than mine.

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Paul>So if you see if you yeah, if you see in that picture there's that little white bar in the handle, that's that's what turns on when it's on.

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Drew>Oh, I wish I would have got that instead.

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Drew>Yeah, I mean my um looking at the inside of yours, it looks it looks identical.

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.040
<v Drew>The control bar at the top looks identical.

00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:14.120
<v Drew>The only thing mine doesn't have is it doesn't have that little white light in there.

00:19:14.120 --> 00:19:14.760
<v Paul>Yeah

00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:16.919
<v Paul>Very weird.

00:19:16.919 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Drew>Huh.

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.640
<v Drew>Otherwise otherwise it's identical.

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.600
<v Paul>Yeah, it's yeah, and it's it's wonderful the the

00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:32.539
<v Paul>Yeah, I I you know, like obviously I had been just doing enough dishes to survive uh uh without my dishwasher.

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:35.900
<v Paul>So I had some I had some pans that had some just absolutely just

00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:37.660
<v Paul>Cake Dawn pasta sauce.

00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:40.380
<v Paul>I'm like, I'm just gonna throw it in here, see what happens.

<v Paul>Auto, go.

00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:42.940
<v Paul>Perfect.

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:43.900
<v Paul>Came out.

<v Paul>Just

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:46.180
<v Paul>So clean.

<v Paul>I was so happy.

00:19:48.020 --> 00:19:49.060
<v Drew>Yeah, remote start.

00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:51.780
<v Drew>Like I'm looking at it, additional settings, info light.

00:19:51.780 --> 00:19:54.900
<v Drew>Light is projected to identify a running cycle.

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.300
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:55.940

<v Paul>the the color and the the recess handle of all uh of NIS up all of it.

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.659

<v Drew>Great, great purchase.

00:20:17.500 --> 00:20:18.620

<v Paul>It's great.

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.419
<v Paul>It's great.

00:20:19.419 --> 00:20:20.539
<v Paul>100%.

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:21.260
<v Paul>Okay.

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.260
<v Drew>All right, Paul.

00:20:23.260 --> 00:20:23.899
<v Drew>Uh

00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:27.559
<v Drew>I about had it up to here with Google right now.

00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.159
<v Paul>Okay.

00:20:29.159 --> 00:20:30.360
<v Paul>In what way?

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Paul>Are you angry at Google now?

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:33.799
<v Paul>Is it is it your cameras?

00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Drew>No.

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:34.679
<v Paul>No.

00:20:34.679 --> 00:20:36.440
<v Drew>No, those are those are working really well.

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:36.919
<v Drew>Okay.

00:20:36.919 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Drew>Uh so

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:43.080
<v Drew>On my phone, I use Arc Search.

00:20:43.080 --> 00:20:43.799
<v Drew>Yes.

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.080
<v Paul>Oh, yeah.

00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Paul>Okay.

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:51.500
<v Drew>And every time, and because my default my default search is set to Google.

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.380
<v Drew>That's on me.

00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:53.020
<v Drew>That's on me.

00:20:53.020 --> 00:20:54.140
<v Drew>I know what people are going to say.

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:54.940
<v Paul>That's on me.

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:56.180
<v Paul>I do the same thing.

00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:58.820
<v Paul>I think I know where you're going with this.

00:20:58.820 --> 00:21:05.940
<v Drew>I hate that like when I go there, it's like, you know, it's such an anti-pattern because they're like they pop up the thing like

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.560
<v Drew>Do you want to stay in this browser or open in Chrome and then it takes you to the app store?

00:21:09.560 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Paul>Yeah, this search would be better in the app.

00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Drew>Oh.

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:16.680
<v Drew>And like the way and the way they word the answers always gets me.

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.360
<v Drew>I think I would learn, right?

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:21.040
<v Drew>Now there's no way to turn that off, right?

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:22.560
<v Paul>Not that I know of.

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:30.560
<v Paul>I also like they've been real thirsty with like sites that have like a Google login just popping something up to like, hey, you want to log with Google?

00:21:30.560 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Paul>Like, no, no.

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.420
<v Paul>I haven't noticed that.

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:34.300
<v Drew>I haven't noticed that.

00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:36.060
<v Drew>I get that.

00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:42.300
<v Drew>Um I mean I I should just change my shirts to something like Duck Duck Go or God forbid Bing.

00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:45.500
<v Drew>I mean they'll probably just do the same thing with Edge, but Yeah.

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Drew>Oh I I just I don't know why they keep doing that to me.

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Drew>It's awesome.

00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:56.520
<v Drew>If anybody out there knows how to turn that off, please reach out and let us know.

00:21:56.060 --> 00:21:57.580
<v Drew>There probably isn't a way, right?

00:21:57.580 --> 00:22:06.380
<v Drew>Because you're basically looking at a Google website and they're serving you a pop-up and I've done some some research.

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:09.820
<v Drew>But like it happened like three times today, and then I go to tap it and

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:13.940
<v Drew>I swear, I can't prove it, but I swear they've changed the order of the buttons.

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:16.980
<v Drew>So it's like you you get you get the muscle memory and then you have

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.520
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:22:19.520 --> 00:22:25.280
<v Drew>I'm I'm I'm increasingly getting very sick of everything Google in my life.

00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:26.320
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:27.040
<v Drew>All right.

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.600
<v Drew>Uh but speaking of stuff that we like, there was a big Apple event.

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Drew>There was a big, big Apple event.

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Drew>Now, because of my travel

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:37.640
<v Drew>I didn't get to watch any of this.

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Drew>I did read a few articles, but I would love sort of your summary, because you're always very good at this.

00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.200
<v Paul>I mean, so there's really like

00:22:47.540 --> 00:22:50.340
<v Paul>So get there's new new watches.

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.740
<v Paul>They're new watches.

00:22:53.140 --> 00:22:54.100
<v Paul>There you go.

00:22:54.980 --> 00:22:58.580
<v Paul>Better battery life if you're into cellular that got 5G.

00:22:58.620 --> 00:22:59.660
<v Paul>Uh, who cares?

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:02.220
<v Paul>The same watch you could get always.

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:04.060
<v Paul>Meh meh meh.

00:23:04.060 --> 00:23:07.020
<v Paul>Uh uh, I know a lot of people are excited about

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:14.760
<v Paul>this I am personally not because I now have a phobia of things coming off in my ear, but they have new AirPods, AirPods Pro 3

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Paul>Uh they're supposed to have uh twice or 2x noise cancellation, however you mention measured that, then the the pros, I guess the tips now have foam in them.

00:23:27.800 --> 00:23:34.120
<v Paul>They come with five different sizes of tips instead of just three for a better fit.

00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:38.280
<v Paul>And they have, I guess this is coming to the pros too as well.

00:23:38.280 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Paul>But uh

00:23:38.860 --> 00:23:40.139
<v Paul>Live translation.

00:23:40.139 --> 00:23:46.460
<v Paul>So you can do a gesture and if someone talks to you in a non-English language, it gets translated for you.

00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:47.659
<v Paul>Isn't that neat?

00:23:47.659 --> 00:23:51.100
<v Drew>That's that was the announcement that really grabbed

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.919
<v Drew>my interest.

00:23:53.919 --> 00:23:56.559
<v Drew>Yeah, I bet you they're gonna sell a boatload of these.

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Drew>Did you s did you say they're c did you say that translation's coming to other versions of it too?

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Paul>I think it's I think the translation is coming to the existing AirPod Pro 2 as well.

00:24:06.540 --> 00:24:07.020
<v Paul>Okay.

00:24:07.020 --> 00:24:10.620
<v Paul>Uh I don't have a link for that, but I'm pretty sure that's true.

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:11.500
<v Paul>Okay.

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:16.940
<v Drew>Now, Paul, I did see that they did announce an orange iPhone.

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:18.860
<v Drew>Oh, they sure did, Drew.

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:20.980
<v Drew>And what what do we think?

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:22.900
<v Paul>Oh that's a good c it's a good orange.

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:23.860
<v Paul>That's a good orange.

00:24:23.860 --> 00:24:24.820
<v Paul>It's a good looking orange.

00:24:24.820 --> 00:24:26.260
<v Paul>It's a good orange

00:24:27.040 --> 00:24:31.680
<v Paul>I that's a skip to the iPhone 17 Pro.

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:35.040
<v Paul>Uh yeah, uh no black this year, no black.

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Paul>Uh it's just silver, or cosmic orange, and blue.

00:24:40.340 --> 00:24:44.660
<v Paul>Uh so all the the the black lovers out there are gonna have to deal.

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:49.220
<v Paul>Uh it's got a very interesting new design.

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:49.860
<v Paul>Uh

00:24:51.179 --> 00:24:58.940
<v Paul>They've switched from uh titanium back to aluminum.

00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:05.659
<v Paul>Uh and the reason they said they did that is primarily for thermals.

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:10.700
<v Paul>And it's got a new uh vapor vapor chamber cooling solution.

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:19.580
<v Paul>So they're claiming that you can get 40% better uh sustained performance from the previous iPhone 16 Pro.

00:25:19.620 --> 00:25:28.260
<v Paul>That that's always been so my the if I had one complaint about my iPhone 16 Pro

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:31.140
<v Paul>It is, it runs warm.

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:34.260
<v Paul>It's just, it's just always a little bit hot.

00:25:34.260 --> 00:25:37.540
<v Paul>So uh so Apple's like, hey Paul, uh

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:39.180
<v Paul>What's your favorite color?

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.660
<v Paul>Orange.

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:40.220
<v Paul>Oh great.

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:41.660
<v Paul>Here's an orange phone for you.

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:44.780
<v Paul>And what's your number one complaint about your 16 Pro?

00:25:44.780 --> 00:25:45.580
<v Paul>Oh, the heat?

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:46.940
<v Paul>We fixed that too.

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:48.780
<v Paul>Uh They got you, bud.

00:25:48.780 --> 00:25:49.260
<v Paul>They did.

00:25:49.260 --> 00:25:50.220
<v Paul>They did.

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.780
<v Paul>Uh

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:54.420
<v Paul>My wife is not a fan of the design.

00:25:54.420 --> 00:26:01.460
<v Paul>So while she almost has she's gotten f phones more often than new phones every year more often than I have.

00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Paul>She has decided that she's going to wait and and see whether she really feels like upgrading this year.

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Paul>And I convinced my daughter that if I got a new phone, she would take my current 16 Pro.

00:26:15.040 --> 00:26:17.840
<v Paul>So yeah, I pre-ordered one.

00:26:19.520 --> 00:26:20.320
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:26:20.320 --> 00:26:21.040
<v Paul>Okay.

00:26:21.040 --> 00:26:21.520
<v Paul>I did it.

00:26:21.520 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Paul>I I said I wasn't gonna do it, but I did it because god damn it, Apple made an orange phone and I want an orange phone.

00:26:28.660 --> 00:26:30.100
<v Drew>Yeah, yeah.

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:37.460
<v Drew>Now, the interesting thing that I also read is that this year the regular iPhone is finally getting promotion.

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.980
<v Paul>Yes, that's huge.

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:41.059
<v Paul>And it always on display.

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.659
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:26:41.659 --> 00:26:42.139
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:47.179
<v Drew>So in terms of like the display capabilities, it looks like they're gonna be on par.

00:26:47.179 --> 00:26:48.220
<v Drew>It looks like the pro

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:53.340
<v Drew>Other than the materials, also getting some some better camera specs.

00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:54.059
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah.

00:26:54.059 --> 00:26:58.779
<v Paul>All the cameras are being upgraded like 48 megapixels and you know.

00:26:58.760 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Paul>Though they switched the five X to a four X, but with with the the sensor crop you can get it to up to an eight X zoom.

00:27:07.340 --> 00:27:08.140
<v Paul>Yeah, whatever.

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:08.539
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:17.419
<v Paul>Honestly, I think out of all of the camera improvements, the one that I've heard other people say this and I believe it to be true.

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:22.860
<v Paul>I think the selfie camera chain updates are gonna sell iPhones this year.

00:27:22.860 --> 00:27:23.340
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:28.620
<v Paul>Yeah, they've up up they've uh

00:27:29.060 --> 00:27:37.860
<v Paul>Obviously they've switched it from just like a regular shitty like 12 mixel pixel pixel camera to an 18 megapixel camera with center stage.

00:27:37.860 --> 00:27:41.380
<v Paul>They changed instead of most camera sensors are four by three.

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:43.860
<v Paul>They made the front facing one square.

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:53.460
<v Paul>So one of the things they're touting is you can switch from portrait to landscape without actually having to rotate your phone, uh, which I think is going to be huge for people that take selfies.

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:55.700
<v Paul>So yeah, I I I have a just

00:27:56.140 --> 00:28:03.260
<v Paul>I think it's weird to say, but I think the fucking selfie camera is gonna sell a lot of iPhone 17 C shoe.

00:28:05.020 --> 00:28:07.420
<v Drew>Okay, so so what's your what's your thought?

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:09.820
<v Drew>What's your thoughts on this whole iPhone Air?

00:28:10.340 --> 00:28:14.740
<v Paul>It looks, I think it I I want to go to the store and hold one.

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:16.820
<v Paul>I think a lot of people feel that way.

00:28:16.820 --> 00:28:20.019
<v Paul>It looks so cool.

00:28:20.580 --> 00:28:24.100
<v Paul>I think it looks just absolutely amazing.

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:26.520
<v Paul>I just I just don't think it's for me.

00:28:26.520 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Paul>I I already have battery anxiety.

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:31.960
<v Paul>Uh you know, I I I admit that fully.

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.880
<v Paul>I think having a smaller battery is going to just drive me absolutely nuts

00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Paul>Uh uh I I do like I well I don't take a ton of photos.

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.560
<v Paul>I do like having the option of like the telephoto lens on the pro.

00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:54.080
<v Paul>Uh I do use that one quite a bit, so going down to one camera is not for me, but like the engineering that they did is easy they basically shoved the whole

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:57.900
<v Paul>like the whole guts of the phone into the camera bump.

00:28:57.900 --> 00:28:58.300
<v Paul>Right.

00:28:58.300 --> 00:28:59.740
<v Paul>At the very, very top.

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:00.140
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:00.620
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:02.620
<v Drew>Everything else is just battery and screen.

00:29:02.620 --> 00:29:03.260
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:29:03.260 --> 00:29:03.660
<v Paul>Yep.

00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:04.140
<v Drew>Yep.

00:29:04.140 --> 00:29:06.860
<v Drew>Now it it does it doesn't have pro motion, right?

00:29:06.860 --> 00:29:08.060
<v Paul>It does.

00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:09.039
<v Paul>Oh it does.

00:29:09.280 --> 00:29:10.880
<v Paul>Yes, it does.

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:15.039
<v Paul>Uh they they they they may they may and here's the thing.

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Paul>So obviously, you know, with the iPhone 6, it was a thin phone.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.400
<v Paul>There was the whole Ben Gate thing.

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:28.600
<v Paul>They claim that the iPhone Air is their most durable phone they have ever made.

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:36.300
<v Paul>So I I've actually there's a there's uh uh uh I was it was it

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:46.320
<v Paul>Tom's hardware and someone else did an interview where they interviewed uh a couple of Apple executives and uh Jaws like the the marketing guy.

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:50.140
<v Paul>He like in the inter in the interview, they're talking about durability.

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:57.580
<v Paul>He pulls he pulls an iPhone Air out of his pocket, throws it at one of the interviewers, just chucks it, just chucks it.

00:29:57.580 --> 00:29:58.700
<v Paul>And then says

00:29:59.040 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Paul>Bend it.

00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:03.120
<v Paul>Bend it, jerk.

00:30:03.120 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Paul>Yep.

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.800
<v Paul>Yep, you could bend it.

00:30:04.800 --> 00:30:11.600
<v Paul>And the guy did it and he tried to go and they're like, yeah, like it will it's designed to flex a little bit, but it goes right back.

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:13.039
<v Paul>Wow.

00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:13.440
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Paul>I just I just thought he just didn't didn't hand it, he just threw it.

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Paul>Like a goddamn ninja star.

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.120
<v Paul>Just just twirling in the air.

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Paul>It was it was amazing.

00:30:24.560 --> 00:30:25.200
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.360
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Paul>And you know, all of the phones have what ceramic shield too, which is their new

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Paul>uh you know glass coating kind of thing.

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.000
<v Paul>It's supposed to be more scratch resistant and brake resistant.

00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.440
<v Paul>So, you know, that's on all the phones.

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Paul>Uh yeah, I think it's a very, you know, I think it's a good year for iPhones.

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.840
<v Paul>So So you did order one then?

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:53.159
<v Paul>I did.

00:30:53.159 --> 00:30:56.600
<v Paul>I ordered a 17 Pro in Cosmic Orange.

00:30:56.600 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Paul>It should be here in in a week.

00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:00.760
<v Paul>Yeah, I'm very excited.

00:31:03.320 --> 00:31:10.200
<v Paul>I did order one of the tech woven cases, but my intention is to go caseless with this phone.

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.520
<v Paul>So

00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:12.660
<v Paul>Because it's orange and it's orange.

00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:14.500
<v Paul>I want everyone to see my orange phone.

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.540
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:15.540 --> 00:31:16.660
<v Paul>Big orange boys.

00:31:16.660 --> 00:31:18.340
<v Paul>Big orange boys.

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:22.740
<v Paul>That means something different now, I think.

00:31:24.100 --> 00:31:25.460
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Drew>I don't want to I don't want it up on a list.

00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Paul>No, no, no, no, no.

00:31:30.919 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Paul>All right.

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Drew>Uh and then the only other thing from the article here is it looks like

00:31:35.820 --> 00:31:37.980
<v Drew>uh some new Apple watches, no?

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:39.100
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:39.100 --> 00:31:40.460
<v Paul>They're they're just new watches.

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:41.100
<v Paul>It's fine.

00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:42.060
<v Paul>It's fine.

00:31:42.060 --> 00:31:42.620
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:42.620 --> 00:31:43.100
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:43.100 --> 00:31:43.660
<v Paul>Huh.

00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:44.380
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:44.540 --> 00:31:50.220
<v Paul>Yeah, they got well they do hypertension detecting now, but I think that's actually coming to the other phones as well.

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:52.380
<v Paul>Because it's really just a software thing

00:31:52.260 --> 00:31:52.740
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:31:52.740 --> 00:32:00.419
<v Paul>Like they're the the watches they they really haven't done anything super interesting with the watches for a while now, really since like the ultra uh

00:32:01.040 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Paul>Yeah, I I'm not a upgrade my watch frequently kind of person.

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:08.800
<v Paul>I I have a Ultra 2 and I wear it mostly because I like the big chunky look.

00:32:08.800 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Paul>Uh

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:11.840
<v Paul>Yeah, I'm I'm yeah.

00:32:11.840 --> 00:32:19.760
<v Paul>For me, the AirPods, again, you know, I I well I do like the AirPods Pro now that I had a tip come out in my ear, I can never wear them again.

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.480
<v Paul>Uh yeah, and uh that's that's a that's a that's a fear I have now.

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:26.300
<v Paul>And uh yeah, I wasn't ready for a watch.

00:32:26.300 --> 00:32:28.060
<v Paul>So for me, it was really just the phone.

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:31.580
<v Drew>And goddammit, that orange looks hot.

00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:32.300
<v Drew>I do want to

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:33.500
<v Drew>I I do wanna see it.

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:34.700
<v Drew>I do wanna see the air.

00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:39.660
<v Drew>I mean I'm I'm perfectly happy with what I have right now, so I probably won't be buying one this year.

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:40.300
<v Drew>Yeah

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Drew>Uh unless something happens to like my old work phone or something, then maybe.

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:46.279
<v Drew>But right now I'm just gonna hold on to what I got.

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.919
<v Paul>Yeah, yeah.

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:51.320
<v Paul>I I want to go to the store and hold an iPhone Air for everything I've heard.

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Paul>from pe like people that had hands on with it.

00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:55.960
<v Paul>It's it's one of those like oh wow moments.

00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Paul>And I don't think it's very hard to squint at that phone and see two of those side by side for a folding phone next year.

00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:03.240
<v Paul>So

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:06.260
<v Paul>I certainly hope not.

00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:08.180
<v Paul>I don't know, I'm kinda I'm kinda curious.

00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:09.700
<v Paul>I'm kinda curious to see where they go with it.

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:09.940
<v Paul>So

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.600
<v Paul>Alright.

00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:14.080
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:15.520
<v Paul>IPhones.

00:33:15.520 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Drew>Yep.

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:19.680
<v Drew>So a couple other little topics to sort of take us home here.

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:20.000
<v Drew>So

00:33:20.260 --> 00:33:27.220
<v Drew>Uh the again, the gym I go to is having its annual masters competition that's coming up here in a couple weeks.

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:31.140
<v Drew>Actually, I think it might be next weekend, now that I think about it.

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:33.140
<v Drew>And uh

00:33:35.580 --> 00:33:36.460
<v Drew>Okay.

00:33:37.340 --> 00:33:38.700
<v Drew>I need to do a little prep work here.

00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:45.260
<v Drew>So I I always help with I always help volunteer my time for the masters or for all of the events that the gym has.

00:33:45.260 --> 00:33:47.740
<v Drew>So I always do like the live streaming stuff and

00:33:47.860 --> 00:33:54.740
<v Drew>Those are really hard events to live stream just because there's so much going on with the move cameras around, keeping everything in sync.

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:59.139
<v Drew>You know, we we do our best and you know we're always looking to make improvements and do things.

00:33:59.139 --> 00:34:02.580
<v Drew>And you'll be able to watch it on the Friendship Fitness Ohio.

00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Drew>uh YouTube channel if you're interested in watching that.

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Drew>But this year was gonna be special because I was gonna be competing.

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:10.640
<v Drew>Oh okay.

00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:16.520
<v Drew>So it's been on it's been on my bucket list for a little bit now to do some sort of competition there.

00:34:16.520 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Drew>And the gym does a couple different types of competitions.

00:34:20.540 --> 00:34:26.620
<v Drew>Uh but masters is probably the one that I would do just because one, you have to be a certain age.

00:34:26.620 --> 00:34:29.420
<v Drew>And two, they have a couple different divisions.

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:33.100
<v Drew>So they have like the recreational division and the competitive division.

00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Drew>And you know, the the main difference is is the recreational division's a little more approachable.

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.120
<v Drew>There's not as strict or as tough as as

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:49.040
<v Drew>It's essentially the same workouts as the as the as the competitive division, but the movements will be slightly different.

00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:54.879
<v Drew>Whereas in like a competitive division, you'll have to be able to do like a muscle up.

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:58.580
<v Drew>Or you have to be able to you have to be able to do a handstand walk.

00:34:58.580 --> 00:35:06.740
<v Drew>In the recreational division, they will sub those movements out for something different that's a little more approachable, still difficult, but approachable for people who

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:12.160
<v Drew>are in shape, but maybe not capable of more complex movements.

00:35:12.160 --> 00:35:16.080
<v Drew>So my buddy Grant, uh he and I, you know, we we do a lot of stuff together.

00:35:16.080 --> 00:35:17.920
<v Drew>He also goes to the gym.

00:35:18.120 --> 00:35:21.640
<v Drew>He and I have been kicking around the idea of doing this for a while.

00:35:21.640 --> 00:35:24.680
<v Drew>And originally we were going to do it.

00:35:24.680 --> 00:35:26.600
<v Drew>However, some life events came up.

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:29.240
<v Drew>He's actually in Hawaii getting married right now.

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Drew>Actually, I think it happened yesterday as we record this, but yeah, so happy for him.

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.680
<v Drew>So he's actually going to be like he'll he'll get back the day before the competition.

00:35:38.680 --> 00:35:41.800
<v Drew>So we're like, you know what, maybe this isn't the year.

00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:42.120
<v Drew>But

00:35:43.160 --> 00:35:47.560
<v Drew>I did, I did get invited, uh, regardless.

00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:51.240
<v Drew>I did get invited to help test the workouts.

00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:51.920
<v Drew>for the master.

00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Drew>Oh, okay.

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:54.080
<v Drew>Now here's what this means.

00:35:54.080 --> 00:36:00.160
<v Drew>So basically the the organizers put together a list of different events that are going to happen.

00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:10.000
<v Drew>And I can't say what they are because this episode will come out before and it's supposed to be a surprise the day of when people get the get the workouts to know what's going to be.

00:36:10.839 --> 00:36:15.160
<v Drew>But they were like, hey, you know, why don't why don't you come and and help demo this?

00:36:15.160 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Drew>And the idea the idea is twofold.

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:18.040
<v Drew>One

00:36:18.240 --> 00:36:25.760
<v Drew>You you have to be able to do the movements because they're going to they're going to record the workouts and they're going to put them out on a YouTube video.

00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.320
<v Drew>So you'll be able to see me on a YouTube video doing these workouts first and foremost.

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:33.160
<v Drew>And if they're, I don't know if they're actually published.

00:36:33.160 --> 00:36:35.720
<v Drew>They might they might get published tomorrow, actually.

00:36:35.720 --> 00:36:38.200
<v Drew>So if they do, I'll put them in the show notes tomorrow.

00:36:38.200 --> 00:36:39.560
<v Drew>But anyway.

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:47.540
<v Drew>But it's also an opportunity for the organizers to see how the athletes do with the workouts.

00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:47.780
<v Drew>Like

00:36:48.140 --> 00:36:51.740
<v Drew>Are they going to be able to accomplish this in X amount of time?

00:36:51.740 --> 00:36:54.220
<v Drew>Or how long does this thing actually take?

00:36:54.220 --> 00:36:58.539
<v Drew>Or what what is a conceivably quote unquote good score?

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:00.100
<v Drew>for that particular event.

00:37:00.100 --> 00:37:01.300
<v Drew>So they invited me to do that.

00:37:01.300 --> 00:37:03.780
<v Drew>I'd never done anything like that before.

00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:10.260
<v Drew>Now when it comes to my fitness, you know, I've been going to this gym now for over ten years, and I would like to consider myself to be in pretty good shape.

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:10.740
<v Drew>Like I

00:37:11.120 --> 00:37:13.760
<v Drew>I I am stronger than I've ever been.

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.600
<v Drew>I am cardiovascularly better than I was.

00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:22.080
<v Drew>I don't think I'm in the best cardiovascular shape of my life, but I'm definitely

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:26.100
<v Drew>somebody who pushes himself in these workouts and and can do these things.

00:37:26.100 --> 00:37:28.100
<v Drew>Paul, I'm here to tell you I got my ass kicked.

00:37:28.100 --> 00:37:29.060
<v Drew>Oh no.

00:37:29.060 --> 00:37:30.020
<v Drew>Oh yeah.

00:37:30.020 --> 00:37:37.060
<v Drew>And it and it basically made me really question if I'm ever really gonna be able to do one of these competitions.

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:37.540
<v Drew>Okay, okay.

00:37:46.640 --> 00:37:51.279
<v Drew>The way that these things are designed is they're run cannonball style.

00:37:51.279 --> 00:37:57.279
<v Drew>So basically, let's say that the entire event lasts an hour for the division.

00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:04.080
<v Drew>The way it'll work is they'll say, okay, so minute zero through minute eight is the first event.

00:38:04.080 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Drew>And then minute 10 through minute 14 is the next event, etc.

00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:09.760
<v Drew>, etc.

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.720
<v Drew>So if you get done early, you get more rest.

00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:19.080
<v Drew>If you don't, every you only get two minutes and then you're you're right back in it.

00:38:19.080 --> 00:38:19.640
<v Drew>And then

00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:30.120
<v Drew>It's interesting because there's a little bit of gamesmanship, a little bit of strategy there, because you can basically have and these are designed to be partner type workouts or even teams of three or four sometimes.

00:38:30.140 --> 00:38:35.500
<v Drew>Where you can do a little gamesmanship and you could kind of keep somebody in reserve, you know what I mean?

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:39.339
<v Drew>Where like somebody doesn't do as much as somebody else and then they'll start the next event.

00:38:39.339 --> 00:38:43.180
<v Drew>So there's there's a little bit of strategery and things that go into it with with stuff like that.

00:38:43.180 --> 00:38:43.420
<v Drew>But

00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:47.820
<v Drew>Man, some of these workouts were exceptionally difficult.

00:38:47.820 --> 00:38:49.980
<v Drew>Even the even the quote unquote recreational one.

00:38:49.980 --> 00:38:55.500
<v Drew>Now I sort of bounced back and forth helping demonstrate some of the competitive movements and some of the recreational movements.

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:57.580
<v Drew>Because I'm sort of like right on the cusp, I would say.

00:38:57.580 --> 00:38:58.220
<v Drew>I think

00:38:58.059 --> 00:39:08.299
<v Drew>I think I would actually do okay in rec division with maybe a few exceptions, but I definitely would not be capable of doing a full competitive division thing.

00:39:08.299 --> 00:39:17.180
<v Drew>So uh the reason I'm mentioning this is if you really want to watch me suffer and you really want to see me do some of these stupid workouts, uh watch watch the show notes.

00:39:17.180 --> 00:39:21.579
<v Drew>Uh if if they are made available tomorrow, which I think they might be

00:39:21.640 --> 00:39:27.720
<v Drew>Uh I will put some links in there and you can see my fat ass doing uh some of these workouts on on YouTube.

00:39:27.720 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Drew>Nice, nice.

00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:29.480
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:39:29.640 --> 00:39:34.440
<v Drew>Uh the other thing I'll come back and say here is I have been playing Hollow Knight Sulk Song.

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:36.440
<v Paul>And it's very hard.

00:39:36.680 --> 00:39:38.440
<v Paul>Is it at least fun?

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:39.960
<v Paul>Oh, it's very good.

00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.119
<v Paul>Okay.

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:41.480
<v Drew>It's very, very good.

00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:43.319
<v Drew>I'm having I'm having a really good time.

00:39:43.319 --> 00:39:50.200
<v Drew>I am like hard stuck right now on one particular boss that is just absolutely kicking my shit in.

00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:53.619
<v Drew>Um but uh it's it's real good, man.

00:39:53.619 --> 00:39:55.780
<v Drew>It's real, real fucking good.

00:39:55.780 --> 00:40:01.220
<v Drew>Uh I'm still kind of figuring a few things out.

00:40:01.780 --> 00:40:12.260
<v Drew>uh and and building out hornet a little bit and unlocking abilities and things and yeah I'm just I'm just at this one point right now where there's just this one boss that is just absolutely stomping me.

00:40:12.260 --> 00:40:12.820
<v Drew>They did

00:40:13.140 --> 00:40:14.180
<v Drew>It's so funny.

00:40:14.180 --> 00:40:17.299
<v Drew>Um, the the Hollow Knight fandom is so funny.

00:40:17.299 --> 00:40:21.700
<v Drew>Like they've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this thing, and then it came out and it wasn't Hollow Knight.

00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:24.940
<v Drew>And everybody was upset.

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:27.099
<v Drew>And it's like, of course, it's not Hollow Knight.

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:28.460
<v Drew>It's a different game.

00:40:28.779 --> 00:40:30.539
<v Drew>And people were saying it's too hard.

00:40:30.700 --> 00:40:33.579
<v Drew>You know, these guys do too much damage and all this other stuff.

00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:33.900
<v Drew>And

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:41.860
<v Drew>They did, uh Team Cherry actually did tone it down a little bit because people were really struggling on certain parts of the game.

00:40:42.740 --> 00:40:51.700
<v Drew>So uh even with some of those things, um I did beat one of the bosses before they nerfed it, so I am able to hold my head up and say I am a I am a pre

00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:53.380
<v Drew>Uh what is it?

00:40:53.380 --> 00:40:55.140
<v Drew>Is is the boss's name more wing?

00:40:55.140 --> 00:40:56.500
<v Drew>I think it's more wing.

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:58.180
<v Drew>M-O-R-Wing.

00:40:58.180 --> 00:40:58.820
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:41:00.740 --> 00:41:01.380
<v Drew>Moore Wang.

00:41:01.620 --> 00:41:01.940
<v Drew>What?

00:41:02.260 --> 00:41:03.460
<v Drew>More Wang.

00:41:05.460 --> 00:41:07.780
<v Drew>Yeah, I actually beat that boss pre-nerf.

00:41:07.780 --> 00:41:08.500
<v Drew>Pre-nerf.

00:41:08.500 --> 00:41:15.460
<v Drew>Uh it's not an achievement for that, but I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna wear that badge of honor that I beat him uh before they nerfed him.

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:16.420
<v Drew>Thank you very much

00:41:16.620 --> 00:41:19.900
<v Drew>Uh but there are there are some bosses that are just complete bullshit.

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:21.740
<v Drew>Like absolut like absolute bullshit.

00:41:21.740 --> 00:41:25.660
<v Drew>Like they're just they're just I just don't see how you're it's possible to avoid some of these attacks.

00:41:25.660 --> 00:41:25.900
<v Drew>But

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:27.440
<v Drew>I'm having a good time.

00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.400
<v Drew>I mean there's definit I I need to get back to Metal Gear Solid.

00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.240
<v Drew>I need to play Borderlands 4.

00:41:32.240 --> 00:41:33.680
<v Drew>Apparently it's very good

00:41:34.140 --> 00:41:35.180
<v Drew>I don't know for you.

00:41:39.020 --> 00:41:40.940
<v Paul>Nothing really, nothing.

00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:41.819
<v Drew>How is tennis?

00:41:41.819 --> 00:41:42.460
<v Drew>How is tennis?

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:44.380
<v Drew>How's that how's daughter's tennis?

00:41:44.780 --> 00:41:48.940
<v Paul>It it's it's going it's going okay it's yes, it's going okay.

00:41:48.940 --> 00:41:49.820
<v Paul>It's a lot.

00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:53.340
<v Paul>So so here's here's here's the here's the fun part.

00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.100
<v Paul>So okay, she is improving,

00:41:55.180 --> 00:41:59.340
<v Paul>She enjoys tennis, it's it's it's great, it's a big win all around

00:41:59.560 --> 00:42:03.560
<v Paul>Uh she is in junior varsity.

00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:07.560
<v Paul>So when there is a match

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:16.580
<v Paul>You basically don't know if that there there's whether she is going to play or not is always up in the air.

00:42:16.580 --> 00:42:17.380
<v Paul>Uh-huh.

00:42:18.140 --> 00:42:25.500
<v Paul>Because so, you know, you get to a tennis match and each school has so many tennis uh tennis courts.

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:27.420
<v Paul>So typically what happens is

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:30.460
<v Paul>The uh varsity team plays first.

00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:35.900
<v Paul>So there'll be three singles matches and two doubles matches, and that takes up all the courts.

00:42:36.220 --> 00:42:43.099
<v Paul>And they play full on like full tennis rules where you have to win so many sets or whatever.

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:47.420
<v Paul>So like those games can take like anywhere between like an hour to

00:42:48.200 --> 00:42:52.280
<v Paul>Freaking forever, depending if they get into like a tiebreaker situation or not.

00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:56.920
<v Paul>Uh and after that, then the JV kind of just starts filling in and playing.

00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:05.440
<v Paul>So every team has the same amount of varsity players, and then however many junior varsity players they have is

00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:08.460
<v Paul>Completely random.

00:43:08.460 --> 00:43:09.260
<v Paul>Okay.

00:43:09.260 --> 00:43:16.380
<v Paul>So some teams will have about the same amount as us, and some will have more, and some will have less.

00:43:16.640 --> 00:43:26.240
<v Paul>So if they don't always match up, then there's always a question of like, well, okay, I'll play if they have a doubles team that wants to play twice.

00:43:26.540 --> 00:43:31.020
<v Paul>And it's not getting too late and they need on the get on the bus and leave.

00:43:32.060 --> 00:43:37.340
<v Paul>And because of like like she could start playing anywhere from like

00:43:37.900 --> 00:43:41.260
<v Paul>one hour after start to like three hours after start.

00:43:41.260 --> 00:43:44.140
<v Paul>So you kind of just have to go and just kind of sit and wait.

00:43:44.140 --> 00:43:45.900
<v Paul>Uh so that that that's always fun.

00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:47.740
<v Paul>But I do enjoy watching her play.

00:43:47.740 --> 00:43:49.340
<v Paul>She is getting much better.

00:43:49.340 --> 00:43:56.540
<v Paul>Uh, I think though uh she is improving faster than her doubles partner, and that is frustrating her a little bit.

00:43:56.620 --> 00:43:57.260
<v Paul>Uh

00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:03.760
<v Paul>Uh but you know they they she's won more matches than she's lost with that partner, but despite all that.

00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.320
<v Paul>So Okay, yeah.

00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:07.440
<v Paul>Yeah, okay.

00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:08.560
<v Paul>So it's it's good.

00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:10.800
<v Paul>She she really enjoys it, though I am uh

00:44:11.780 --> 00:44:14.500
<v Paul>I will be happy when the season is over.

00:44:14.900 --> 00:44:16.900
<v Drew>Now how long do they go for?

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:19.220
<v Paul>Uh that's a good question.

00:44:19.799 --> 00:44:23.079
<v Paul>Uh there's an app for that, so let me open up that app.

00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:28.359
<v Paul>Events.

<v Paul>Let's see.

00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:33.319
<v Paul>Their last event is so it goes to the end of this month.

00:44:33.560 --> 00:44:34.280
<v Paul>Okay.

00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:36.520
<v Drew>Yeah, that sounds about right.

00:44:36.520 --> 00:44:36.840
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:44:37.080 --> 00:44:39.160
<v Paul>Because it'll still get a little too cold.

00:44:39.160 --> 00:44:41.400
<v Paul>Yeah, just in time for drama club to start up.

00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.560
<v Drew>So Oh, right, right.

00:44:43.560 --> 00:44:44.760
<v Drew>That's her other thing.

00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:45.320
<v Paul>Mm-hmm.

00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:45.720
<v Paul>Yep.

00:44:45.720 --> 00:44:46.040
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:44:46.040 --> 00:44:47.880
<v Paul>The doing the great Gatsby.

00:44:48.520 --> 00:44:51.160
<v Drew>Oh, well, it's one of my favorite books.

00:44:51.160 --> 00:44:53.160
<v Drew>I can't say I don't think I've ever seen a play of it.

00:44:53.160 --> 00:44:54.440
<v Drew>I've seen the movies of it.

00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:54.920
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:44:55.160 --> 00:44:56.840
<v Paul>I uh I did I

00:44:57.460 --> 00:45:02.900
<v Paul>I can't remember if I read the book or not, but if I'm d if I did, I'm sure I didn't enjoy it.

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:03.380
<v Drew>Why?

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:05.700
<v Paul>It's it's a it's one of the great American novels.

00:45:05.700 --> 00:45:07.780
<v Paul>Yeah, I I I there's no

00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.200
<v Paul>There's no wizards or robots in that book, Trio.

00:45:10.200 --> 00:45:12.040
<v Paul>Therefore it does not hold my interest.

00:45:13.640 --> 00:45:15.080
<v Paul>It's a very good book, Paul.

00:45:15.240 --> 00:45:17.480
<v Paul>I'm a v I'm very basic when it comes to reading.

00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:21.160
<v Paul>I I mean I've I've basically given up on books and I just recomp

00:45:21.820 --> 00:45:25.420
<v Drew>I I read The Great Gatsby in seventh grade.

00:45:30.720 --> 00:45:31.120
<v Paul>Nope.

00:45:33.120 --> 00:45:34.640
<v Paul>I read comic books, Drew.

00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.200
<v Drew>Alright, here's here's what I would say.

00:45:37.200 --> 00:45:39.680
<v Drew>If you don't want to read the book, you should definitely watch the movie.

00:45:39.680 --> 00:45:43.360
<v Drew>Do not watch the remake with Leonardo DiCaprio.

00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:48.080
<v Drew>Um I I I almost threw up in my mouth when I watched that movie.

00:45:48.640 --> 00:45:53.280
<v Drew>It's hard it's hard to right place, and I like that they've attempted to modernize the story a little bit.

00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:55.360
<v Drew>And by modernize I mean like

00:45:55.720 --> 00:46:04.279
<v Drew>set pieces and like you know, they they integrated like modern music to some of the dance numbers and things, like when they're having like the big parties.

00:46:05.520 --> 00:46:09.359
<v Drew>The the Great Gatsby with Robert Redford in it though.

00:46:09.359 --> 00:46:09.839
<v Drew>Okay.

00:46:09.839 --> 00:46:10.640
<v Drew>Oh yep.

00:46:10.640 --> 00:46:12.319
<v Drew>1974.

00:46:12.319 --> 00:46:13.440
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:14.060
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:46:14.060 --> 00:46:16.300
<v Drew>Uh that is worth a watch.

00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:16.940
<v Drew>Okay.

00:46:16.940 --> 00:46:23.660
<v Drew>They do they do a very, very good job of um capturing what the book is about

00:46:24.120 --> 00:46:31.720
<v Drew>Because one of the things that's very, very prominent in that book is the use of color to mean different things.

00:46:31.720 --> 00:46:36.520
<v Drew>And they really, really capture that uh throughout the movie.

00:46:36.520 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Drew>So

00:46:37.680 --> 00:46:42.880
<v Drew>Uh, yeah, Mia Farrow, Robert Redford, great, great movie.

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:44.560
<v Drew>Great, great movie.

00:46:44.560 --> 00:46:48.960
<v Drew>Just like just like I have a soft spot for like the original Superman with Christopher Reeves.

00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:49.640
<v Paul>Yeah.

00:46:49.640 --> 00:46:50.360
<v Drew>Okay.

00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:50.840
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.040
<v Drew>Put that put on your list.

00:46:52.040 --> 00:46:55.000
<v Drew>If you're not gonna read the book, at least at least go at least go watch that.

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.160
<v Drew>It's it's a phenomenal book though.

00:46:57.160 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Drew>I I it's one of those books that I really believe that everybody should read before they die.

00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:02.280
<v Drew>That Animal Farm

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:04.360
<v Drew>I did read Animal Farm.

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:05.880
<v Drew>Yeah, Animal Farm's good.

00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:06.360
<v Drew>Yeah.

00:47:06.680 --> 00:47:09.560
<v Drew>Trying to think what other books were super influential for me

00:47:10.820 --> 00:47:12.900
<v Drew>I mean those are the two that really jump out to me.

00:47:12.900 --> 00:47:15.140
<v Drew>I read Animal Farm in Sixth Grade.

00:47:15.140 --> 00:47:16.420
<v Drew>It was the first time I ever read that.

00:47:16.420 --> 00:47:16.740

00:47:34.339 --> 00:47:38.020
<v Paul>I I've repressed a lot of those memories because I really hated it.

00:47:38.020 --> 00:47:44.260
