Video summary
The hosts of the Daily Tech News Show wrap up a recording session that was physically demanding due to their recent travel, joking about the cardio gained from flying rather than gym workouts. They briefly discuss the logistics of their live stream schedule and introduce a new initiative called "Daily Sports Headlines," which is their first sports-focused podcast series. The team explains that they are expanding their coverage to include seven days a week because major sporting events frequently occur on weekends, necessitating consistent daily updates. They also address technical issues regarding the discovery of their new show on podcast platforms like Pocket Casts and Apple Podcasts, clarifying how the feed appears under specific account names.
A significant portion of the conversation focuses on viewer mailbag topics concerning the future of physical media versus digital distribution in gaming and film. The hosts debate whether owning discs offers a tangible advantage over streaming, noting that while movie collectors have largely accepted the shift to streaming without major protests, video game collectors remain more vocal about ownership rights. They discuss recent news regarding Xbox restricting free game streaming hours and how this impacts the value proposition of owning hardware versus relying on subscriptions. The discussion highlights that while digital formats currently offer convenience, they are often subject to restrictive policies like DRM, whereas physical discs can be backed up and shared freely, though industry inertia keeps many companies reliant on restrictive digital models.
The episode also features a humorous segment where one host shares a terrifying image of AI-generated food that resembles a honeycomb, sparking a conversation about trypophobia and the growing trend of restaurants using artificial intelligence to create menus. The hosts caution listeners about the uncanny valley effect in AI imagery while jokingly suggesting their own "Daily Food Headlines" concept might focus on mundane topics like lettuce or bacon. Additionally, they address a technical glitch where early access episodes for Patreon subscribers were missing from some feeds due to publishing delays, assuring listeners that this issue has been resolved. The show concludes with lighthearted banter about the hosts' personal lives, including a burst blood vessel in one host's eye and their recent experiences attending multiple BTS concerts, before signing off ahead of their upcoming coverage of the Apple keynote.

>> Oh, look at that bacon.

>> It depends on how you like it. I like my
pork rare. [laughter]
H that's interesting.
>> Extra tchinosis, please.
>> Not sure I agree with that.
>> No, I understand.
>> Uh, have you been following the uh the
the fun of AI generated food online
lately?
>> No. Is this a is this a viral trend?
>> Well, it's just now there's starting
starting to be some uh some articles on
on just how horrible it looks. I came
across I wonder if I can share this. I
came across a photo that uh that
tortured me when I looked at it and it
was AI food. And I'll see if I can share
this with you before I go.
>> Now, are these people trying to pass it
off as if it's real, not acknowledging
it, or are these people intentionally
sharing?
>> So, so the articles that I've read are
about like, wow, there are a lot of
restaurants that are creating their
menus and and whatever with AI generated
food,
>> and why does it all look the same? Why
does the food all look the same? What
I'm about to show you does not look the
same. It's just absolutely terrifying.
>> Oh my gosh. It looks like a honeycomb.
Yeah.
>> Um Yeah. So, what what is the name of
the the fear of holes? Tripop
trypophobia, I think, is what it is.
>> Is that what it Yeah. I don't remember
that.
>> And I look at this and I've never
understood trypophobia for myself, but I
look at this and I've had literal
nightmares after seeing this.
>> Trypophobes are not going to eat at that
place.
>> Ah, yeah. Uh, and you know, and I and I
wonder like, okay, this is on the
internet. Did someone like fake this to
be like, haha, check out this
restaurant?
>> Is this an AI generated picture of a
sign with an AI generated picture on it?
>> But I do know that out in the out in the
real world, I have spotted menus that
are AI, you know, the food is clearly
>> kind of tell. Yeah.
>> Yeah. It's got that that glossy. It's
kind of rounded and the meltiness is a
little too melty and it's just Don't do
that. Don't do that.
>> No.
>> So, anyways.
>> Yeah.
>> But that that photo wrecked me. So, be
be careful out there, ladies and
gentlemen.
>> Yeah. Watch what you see
and then eat.
>> Yes. Exactly. [laughter]
>> All right. I got to bounce. I got to get
to my other show.
>> Go have fun.
>> See you. Fun times. Tell Jeff. Bye
everybody. All right. We'll do
>> see you soon. Let's get into the mailbag
then once Jason is by Bye Jason. Uh Come
writes
regarding our DTNS live uh debate from
last week. I enjoyed the Thursday
discussion on whether you own your game
or not. The theme was what does the
future of video games look like without
discs? That future is already happening
with movies and I was waiting for
someone to bring it up. I could have
sworn I brought that up at one point.
But half the time I can't keep track of
what I said in the pre-show versus what
I said during the show, so maybe I
didn't. Uh, anyway, yes, good point. Uh,
Ky says, "If you have a DVD or Blu-ray
disc and a compatible player, you can
always watch the movie. If a movie is
streaming only, its availability can
change at any time. Even if you
purchased the digital version, you may
lose access in some cases. The advantage
of owning a movie disc is even clearer
than it is for video games. Still
streaming eventually won because of its
convenience. I think the simple reason
there was no big protest from the movie
disc collectors is that no major
distributor ever declared we will stop
releasing movies on discs and they still
haven't. Yeah, they never declared that
uh because they do make enough money
selling those. They don't release every
movie on disc though. That that is a
thing, right?
Uh, so they just kind of ramped it down
but realized and I think maybe that that
points to the difference is that with
games
you you don't have people saying I will
buy only the best games on disc because
I'm a collector of them. You do have you
do have collectors of video games but
it's just not quite the same like I am
collecting the best movies. I am and
maybe there are some people out there
but it's not as widespread to be like I
am only collecting the most awardwinning
bestest games. Uh and maybe that will
develop and then they'll go back to
wanting to put them on disc because of
that. Uh I also don't think you get a
fidelity difference
uh the way you do with Blu-ray. There
there's a sincere debate over whether
watching a movie on Blu-ray is a better
experience sound and video-wise than
watching it on streaming because of the
compression. Whereas digital downloads
uh of games are never no one streaming a
game, sure, but no one ever talks about
the digital download of a game being
inferior in quality because it's the
same bits. Uh, and arguably, you know,
that should be true of movies, but it
doesn't seem to be. So, yeah, it's an
interesting point and a good good one to
make. Thank you, Ky, for that. Scott
wrote, "Just a quick comment about the
owning games." Around 58 minutes in, Rob
noted that he just needs his controller
and can then stream his games wherever
he is. Xbox must have been listening
because shortly after that, I got a
notice that they're going to be
restricting the number of hours you can
stream games until they announce some
new hourly rate plan. We made brief
reference to that. Uh you may have heard
me mention that to Trish. Uh but yeah,
uh that that news broke right before the
show. Uh Scott says, "I know they've
been planning this. It's just the
timing." Also, an ongoing extra
subscription for streaming changes the
value proposition of owning your
hardware versus the convenience of
playing uh anywhere, wherever. Yeah, I
do think a lot of the debate over this
is about but I do it this way now,
you know, and I like it so don't change
it. That that's one of the prime
motivations for human behavior is like,
but I already do it this way. Uh so I,
you know, people just don't like to have
to change. I don't I don't think anybody
does. Uh John Murray III said, "If part
of the switch to digital means I only
have to buy a game once and can play it
on any platform, I think the shift might
be easier. Hopefully something gives in
the Switch." Yeah. I think Rob was
trying to make that point of like a lot
of the disadvantages to to digital are
because of policy choices. They wouldn't
have to be that way. And a lot of the
advantages uh of disk wouldn't have to
be that way either. You you can lock up
discs with DRM. Uh you can do all the
same abuses to discs that you can do to
digital. And that's when I asked that
question of uh do you think one format
lends itself more to advantages or
disadvantages than the other? Or is it
just that we're in the habit of putting
these these locks in there? Uh, and I
think Good Old Games is doing the Lord's
work out out there showing like, hey,
you can have a digital store that
doesn't lock up your game and then you
can keep it and you can back it up and
you can make legitimate copies of it for
yourself. Um, so I I think they're
showing like, yeah, digital doesn't have
to have all of those disadvantages of
ownership uh that discs do. Um, so you
know whether does that mean that the uh
the game companies are are going to you
know follow in their footsteps? Probably
not. But at least it's it's something we
can point to and say you don't have to
do it that way. Uh clearly there is a
working business model that doesn't do
it that way. Also I think um you know
that that if they were to keep discs
going they would get more abusive about
what's on them uh and putting less and
less on them, requiring you to do more
downloading and all of that. Uh, so it's
not like the discs force them to behave
well. It's it's just kind of inertia.
Mike wrote, "Good article. There are a
series of podcasts on the Economist
Network covering this in detail a month
or two ago that were very good. They are
sadly behind a payw wall." Uh, he is
responding to Rogers column
technofudalism
explained, pushing back against the
buildout of data centers around the US.
Uh, and so yeah, if you want uh Roger's
take on the whole data center thing,
check out Roger's two cents, uh, he
writes the the column uh about twice a
month usually on average. Uh, and you
can find it at patreon.comdtns.
Thank you, Mike.
Uh, Gabrielle said, "Hey, I hope you are
doing well and congrats on the continued
success of the show. I wanted to point
out a potential issue I noticed with the
podcast feeds." Oh, wait. Did I already
talk about this? Um,
he found a a couple of recent episodes
with Dr. Nikki interviewing uh people
didn't show up in his Patreon feed on
time. And I think I explained this maybe
on the editor's desk. Maybe I didn't
explain it on mailbag, but if I did on
mailbag, I apologize for repeating
myself. Um, we had a perk where on
Patreon you could get uh an episode as
soon as it was done publishing and then
we would go uh back in and publish it
for everyone else. But that caused
problems. People who were on that level
didn't realize they had got the episode
early. Other people were getting the
episode, but the podcaster was like,
"Well, this was published four days ago,
so we're going to stick it further down
in your queue." and then they didn't
realize they got the issue. So, we're
not doing that anymore. Uh we're not
we're not uh we're not going to uh have
that perk until such time as we can make
it work better. Uh so anyway, uh you
shouldn't see missing episodes. Uh for
example, we had a uh an episode uh this
weekend uh where Dr. Nikki and I were
talking about why FDA recalls seem like
they are more frequent this year in the
United States. And the fact is they're
not particularly more frequent, but
there are more serious ones. And so
that's getting more news. And then once
you start getting news about one thing,
it starts a it's a beter minehoff effect
where you start seeing them and then
people start reporting more of them. So
yeah, uh that that should have been in
your feed uh this weekend without delay.
And then Seth had so much fun.
[laughter]
Uh, Seth from Philly had so much fun on
doing the voicemail last week that he
sent another one. So, let's listen in. I
actually have not listened to this. That
is that dangerous? Should I have? Here
we go. Let's listen to Seth and his
latest
>> from Philly again. Just got back from
Vermont where every vendor
or food vendor
restaurant is the word. Sorry, I can't
think today. Had a device with them. the
Toast app on it where you could tap to
pay at the table. Very European, very
everywhere but the United States. Toast
is coming around and making it let's
take my card and go back dark room and
steal my credit card number. So this
share that that is becoming a real
thing. Maybe only in tourist areas, but
it's becoming a real thing. Take care,
Tom. Be well.
>> Thank you, Seth. Uh yes, I have noticed
this as well. often it's toast, but it's
not always. Uh sometimes it's Square or
somebody else. Um but yeah, it is uh is
definitely pervasive and it's in those
smaller vendors uh those smaller
restaurants a lot of times that are
doing it because they're on board with a
smaller, more agile point of sales
system rather than some custom thing
they paid to build themselves. Ryan
says, "I'm not a fan of toast." Ryan's
not a fan of anything. Every time
something comes up, I feel like Ryan
says, "I'm not a fan of that." Um, but
yeah, uh, whether it's uh whether it's
Toast or or something else, I think. Oh,
he is a fan of DTNS. Good point, Ryan.
That is that is true. I'm glad I'm glad
[laughter] that when I say DTNS, you're
like, I'm not a fan of that. Uh,
Biocalow is a fan of New Toast. Is that
a brilliant television reference? Biocal
toast is tasty. Toast is good. Toast
with jam is such good food. Um, wow,
that is a deep cut. Go search Subillant
Television New Toast. I think the video
probably is out there somewhere on the
internet. I can't believe Bio had that
in his head. Um, so Brilliant Television
New toast. Does it actually come up in
search results? Ah, it sure does. Yeah.
On the subbrillant blog. The new toast.
[laughter]
There it is. Uh, I will not play it. You
can go find it and play it yourself.
Zoe's a fan of toast with bacon on it.
My I am as well. Uh, I do like a good
toast sandwich. Uh, toast with hash
browns and bacon
on the toast. Yeah. Anyway, thank you uh
Seth for the voicemail. If you're like,
"Wait, how did Seth do a voicemail?" Uh,
he used SpeakPipe, which is on the Daily
Tech News Show website. You just click
on the speak pipe thing and then you can
record on whatever device you're on. You
could also just record an MP MP3 in
whatever you know voice memo thing you
have or whatever and and send it to us
that way as well.
We are not talking about the show toast
Ambassador Domo but that's another thing
people can be a fans of can be a fans of
can be a fan of.
Zoe does not dunk toast in coffee. I
don't know of anyone who dunks toast in
coffee.
Um,
yeah,
Roxio toast was pretty slick. That's
true. That's true, right? Uh, yeah. Do
people dunk toast in coffee? I'm not
going to say they don't because I know
how this goes. As soon as you say, "I've
never heard of that," then you find that
there's an entire internet subculture
about it. I know about dunking donuts in
coffee.
Why is autocorrect requiring time
machine to be capitalized? G. James B.
Is it because of time travelers? Is it a
trademarked word in the future?
Oh, Heather dropped her her toast in her
cappuccino last week and it was tasty.
Hooray.
All right. Uh, that's all the males. Uh,
you know what? And I am remiss in
playing this, so I will play it at the
end. I need to rearrange my soundboard
so these are easier to get to and I
don't forget them.
>> Uh, but here we go. Howard
>> Tom's got mail.
>> I did. I had mail. [laughter]
>> What's up, Amos?
>> Uh,
everything's uploading.
>> Yeah,
>> that's how that's how the show goes.
>> Okay, before you even left the air,
things are uploading. I know people
that are represented by Stim, who is the
one most willing to speak about it, uh
are very very concerned that the show
get out as fast as possible. Uh and I I
totally get it. It's their own personal
schedule works in a certain way and and
then if you can't listen at the time you
have to listen, sometimes you can't
listen till till later, right? Um but
yeah um it is uh it is uh good to know
that that it is uploading which means
from now we we we started we stopped
recording at what like 8 11:40ish.
>> Um I mean this has been going on for 21
minutes
>> right? This has been going on for 21
minutes but we didn't start immediately.
Yeah, probably three or four minutes
before that even. So,
>> yeah. Okay. So, let's say 20 25 26
minutes since we stopped recording
>> and it's uploading. So, any delay you
have from here on out is at the
publishers's end, not ours. Amos is
done. [laughter]
>> Oh, Chaz Basden is asking about my eye.
Yeah, I burst a blood vessel in my eye.
It's fine.
>> Were you blowing your nose?
>> No, I was doing the rundown. Oh, I was
just I'm thinking maybe you were blowing
your nose because you know somebody
cracked their orbital I heard from
>> Oh, really?
>> Dr. Nikki. So
>> Oh, wow. Oh, right. Yeah. In the Nobel
prizes. I I know what you're referring
to.
>> Yeah. I uh No, I was I was fine this
morning when I brushed my teeth. Uh and
then I was doing the rundown and I got
up to go to the bathroom and looked in
the window um mirror. I'm like,
>> how aggressively are you brushing your
teeth? [laughter]
>> Not very. I don't think that would be
it. Right. I do shove it right up into
the [laughter]
>> right up.
>> Doesn't everyone do that?
>> Yeah.
>> Anyway, thank you for your concern,
Chaz. [laughter]
>> I appreciate it. I will probably not
have a second cup of coffee, and if it
doesn't go away, I'll I'll be seeing my
eye doctor. Um
>> I mean, it's the right time of year.
You're just preparing for Halloween,
right?
>> Yes.
Uh we made uh I made Jason subscribe to
Daily Sports Headlines.
>> I Oh. Oh, no. I've been here. I just
haven't been here.
>> Yeah, but they don't know that. So, I
thought I'd pretend.
>> Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Yeah.
No, I
>> I didn't I didn't close the tab. I just
stayed in the background while I was
actually working.
>> Who else in the audience has uh
subscribed to to Daily Sports Headlines?
Let me Let me hear Let me hear you
scream.
[laughter]
Been in too many concerts.
I can't hear you, Bill.
Calm down a little there, Tom.
[laughter]
You You seen BTS like what, four times
this last week?
>> Yes, that is correct.
>> That is crazy. That's what that is.
>> It was It was fun every time.
>> Yeah. How How much of difference is
there between each set? Do how how much
do they vary it up? I do swap songs,
that kind of stuff.
>> Yeah. Oh, so the I mean the the short
answer to like why do you want to see
them more than once is like why do you
watch a movie more than once? Why do you
listen to an album more than once? Like
I I enjoy the music. So, uh, there's
that, but also they do vary it up. So,
there's there's they say different
things in between, you know, they'll
they'll they'll make jokes and stuff.
Uh, there is definitely high jinks in
the encore set that are always
different. They come up with some other
stickick. And there are two songs
specifically that are different every
night.
>> Uh, they call it the DJ spin that
segment.
And they yell DJ spin that And
then there's a random songs plays and
they start singing it and the whole
stadium sings it and
>> people get in arguments about whether
the town that got their favorite song
deserved it when they wanted it in their
town and you know it's kind of like the
Taylor the Taylor thing where she would
do, you know, a section of Yeah. Yeah.
She had two songs every night that
rotated and she didn't want to play the
same song more than once during a leg.
Um, so my my daughter was tracking them
all, making sure, you know, she'd had
like a little checklist of songs she
wanted to see live and if they she one
of the songs left played, like she was
in a bad mood that whole next day
because the song she wanted got marked
off her list.
>> So,
>> um, but one of the one of the she had
like three songs left on her list that
she really wanted to see live. And when
when we went to Toronto, one of the
songs that Taylor did was one of the
three songs on our list. So,
>> well, and that's the thing. When you
only do two or three songs that are
different every night, like the chances
with with discoraphies as big as theirs,
right? Taylor and BTS both, uh, the
chances that you get a song are are
slim.
>> But, you know,
>> yeah. Oh, uh, Philly Codehound is all
over the place. We played the voicemail.
He's in the Patreon chat. He's in the
YouTube chat. He's everywhere. He's
everywhere.
The DTS episode has finished uploading.
I'm putting the ad markers in now. Just
>> Okay.
>> Keep everybody
>> quiet, please, while the producer places
the ad markers. If you've ever heard an
ad on the public feed and been like,
"Why'd that interrupt someone's uh
sentence?"
>> That's me.
>> This process right here has to go just
right.
>> I did that. [laughter]
>> I've done it, too. though it is not it's
not like it's only ever you that's ever
done that. Um yeah, it was happening on
Sword and Laser. Um and I asked Veronica
and she's said I didn't know that that I
could move them, [laughter]
which is my fault. I did say like, "Oh
yeah, you need to move those." So um
yeah,
>> I like some we had left pauses. That was
the other thing is we left pauses
>> in for the ad breaks and then our editor
didn't know that we were leaving them in
for the ad breaks and so we take them
out. [laughter]
>> Yes.
>> Ryan's Ryan Sword and Laser is another
thing you're a fan. Okay. I I take it
back. [laughter]
>> He's just piling on now. He's not even
Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]
>> And publish.
>> All right. The public feed is live.
>> Boom.
>> There it is. What's What's our time at
now? 27. So, probably 32 minutes.
>> 32 minutes.
>> And that includes recompressing video
and aligning audio and cutting it down
and everything else. So,
>> yeah, not bad. And
>> no, no,
>> I said it was in the hands of the
publisher earlier, but of course, if if
Amos had forgotten to go in and once it
was done processing and do what he just
did, then that would have been on us.
But now it really is in the hands of the
publisher like
>> Yeah.
>> Have you had you already published on
Patreon and Substack then?
>> Uh no because the video is up still
uploading.
>> Ah okay.
>> Uh Substack is 13% and Patreon is 17%.
>> See that upload is too slow.
>> It's entirely slow.
>> I don't know why that's so slow.
>> And it's recent. The the part that gets
me is that it's only been like last 45
60 days that it's been doing this. But
it's
>> Bill Bill Bill just asked if I'm double
jointed on my elbows cuz I I guess maybe
a little bit. I never thought
>> because you can hyper extend.
>> Yeah.
>> Maybe that's why I burst the blood
vessel in there.
>> You hyperextended your elbow getting
coffee. [laughter]
>> So another big advantage in the new
schedule that I am just now realizing
>> uh oh
>> is that when I'm done
>> You're done. Now I'm done. [laughter]
>> I mean, we have Cord Killers coming up
>> in two hours. Two hours and 20.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, but I mean like usually I' I'm done
with DTNS. I'm like, "Okay, I can go do
a couple things, then I have to go back
and I have to do the live stream. It's
nice to just have it all all together in
one block."
Yeah, I end up filling that time with
other stuff consistently. I'm sure you
do too. Yeah.
>> Like it's not you don't suddenly have
extra time off. It's now I have time to
do another thing.
Nate Langson just texted me that he
Shazammed a song he was enjoying at
dinner
and it was uh Blackpink.
>> They got some jam, Joe. Um,
>> yep.
>> Blackpink.
Lisa and Ji Su from Blackpink both just
put out solo uh singles, and I like them
both.
Zoe's like, "Time to think of another
new podcast idea." No,
[laughter] don't encourage me. Stop. We
>> We got to get sports ironed out first.
[laughter]
It's a whole new uh a new new crew for
the most part.
And I well I guess about there's two new
people out of five that'll be working on
it.
Um but the process is different. The
timelines are different.
>> Yeah.
>> The focus is different. So
it'll take us a little bit to fully
flesh it out and iron it out and stuff
like that. So we we'll get it figured
out and then we'll have time for another
podcast.
>> Indeed.
>> No, Tom. We're not going to do an Indeed
podcast. Let's do a podcast about
freelance work on Indeed.
[laughter]
[snorts]
>> The problem is that that's not that's
not a bad idea. [laughter] It just needs
needs it needs that's good.
>> There are no bad ideas in podcasting.
>> They're bad productions.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, did I say that loud? I'm sorry.
>> Tom has time to breathe, drink matcha,
and play with Seven the Good Dog. Yeah.
See, I need to do more of that. Yeah,
that's what I do in between.
>> Surprised there's no AI podcast yet,
Biocow says, not realizing that every
episode of GTNS is essentially an AI
podcast. Oh, I like daily food
headlines.
I Well, we just did an FDA thing. I'm
not sure if daily food headlines would
be like if you kept it inclusive,
wouldn't you just be talking about poop
lettuce all the time?
>> Yeah. Uh recently you might have been
sure
>> daily fooled headlines.
Bioel's like but no dedicated podcast
AI.
>> True. True.
>> Maybe daily food podcast would just be
what the host ate that day.
>> What if you just created like podcast
GPT?
>> You mean like notebook LM? You can
create specific LLMs like build it
around a subject or whatever.
>> Mhm.
>> And then just have that as as what it
is. It just takes different like take
creates podcasts.
>> So he wants daily bacon headlines.
>> Uh yeah. So you you want to replace us
is what you're
>> That's got to be a great idea, right?
>> I am not too worried about that sort of
thing because I feel like that's a
different thing. I think people value
the human-made aspect of shows uh and
and want it to be made by humans and in
most cases. Um but but yeah, I think
there will be a place for like I just
want an update that's read to me. I
don't need it to have a human touch. I
just want the information. I think that
I think there'll be a place for that,
but I don't think it'll replace these
kinds of podcasts that are done by
people.
I I mean I'm going to make an argument
that that's just an updated version of
having an RSS reader on your phone like
a little reader app on your phone.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> And having podcast because
>> it's like an improved version of having
text to speech of that, right? Because
it can be a little more synthetic and a
little more easy to understand and all,
>> right?
>> Um and yet we still have podcasting. But
that's that. So, it's it's a thing like
the human the human aspect of it is this
I don't want to say it's underrated or
overrated, but it's definitely not
it's an aspect that people take
advantage of and take for advantage or
for granted, but everybody wants that
little bit of it in there.
>> Yeah,
>> I don't think it's going anywhere.
>> Uh, greed. Lord Mulgar pointed out the
obvious one. Daily gamer news.
daily game headlines.
We can't have Jen doing all of them
though [laughter]
>> because that she would insist on doing
that one.
>> Yeah, we we we would lose her for for
news headlines and
>> we'd lose her for something. Yeah.
[laughter]
>> You like, Tom, I don't make a lot of
demands. I'm demanding this. [laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> All right. Um well uh like we said just
about 2 hours and 10 minutes from now
Chord Killers on the Modern Rogue
Network uh Daily Tech News Show back
tomorrow after the Apple keynote which
is at 10:00. Uh so uh it will probably
be on schedule now that we've moved it
to 11 anyway because th those Apple
keynote those Apple announcements are
usually about an hour long. Um we'll
see. It could go longer and then
everything will be for not. Um but uh
for now uh they the idea is that they
will end their announcement at 11:00.
We'll take about 15 minutes to re you
know make sure we process everything
they said and then we'll record. So you
should get DTNS on the same schedule
tomorrow. It's me and Juan Daw and Sarah
Lane joining us to talk about the Apple
announcement. So uh that is tomorrow.
Thank you everyone.
I'm going to put this up now
and I'm going to give I really need to
reorganize all of this stuff. Okay.
Say goodbye, Amos.
>> Bye, Amos.
>> Thank you.
