Welcome to the MMQB podcast. I am Matt Verteram, joined by Gilberto Manzano here. It is Thursday, August 24th, and that means we only have one week of preseason football up. We're all thankful for that. Gil, have you finished up your training camp tour? Are you done now, or you still got a few more you gotta hit? Yeah, no, I'm done, and when you said the date, Matt, I actually forgot what date it is today, so that tells me we're two weeks away from the real football season, so I am done with training camp. I don't know about you, Matt, but after like the fifth or sixth stop, I was over it. I saw enough, you know, kind of somewhat real football. I did check out a couple scrimmages, which felt like a little bit of real football, but before that I was like, I'm over the traveling. Let's just get to the Chiefs and the Lions for that. There's a night opener. Yeah, man, I went to eight camps. I saw nine teams because the Lions and the Giants had joined practice when I was up in Allen Park. The day that I woke up in Kansas City, I actually didn't know what city I was in when I woke up. I had like a two -second, I don't know if panic's the same. So, I'm done. I finished on Tuesday. I went up to Green Bay for the last one, which was kind of more of an add -on at the end. I had gone up there for OTAs to do a feature on Jordan Love, and I wanted to go back up there and visit with Matt Lafleur, and it was worth the six -hour round trip. It was a long, long bit of traveling one day, but we made it happen. How many camps did you get to over the course of the summer? I got to, I want to say eight, and I had like you with the extra one with the Saints. The Saints came to Southern California for joint scrimmage with the Chargers, so technically nine teams, but the way I think I did it was, I think it was five states. I drove to Las Vegas and Arizona, and then I flew to San Jose, Seattle, and Denver, and going from Seattle to Denver, that's the one I felt. But yeah, man, I primarily got the West Coast teams. I got, you know, eight teams. The ones that were easy was the ones in my backyard in LA, the Cowboys, the Chargers, and the Rams, but you know, after the, I got on the plane. You know, at one point I started thinking, I don't know how you did it, Matt, because you were driving everything. Me driving to Las Vegas and Arizona, that was too much. I couldn't do any more car rides after that. Yeah, I didn't fly for any of them. I'm based outside of Chicago. You're based in Los Angeles, so you, your teams are more sprawling for you. I mean, you're not driving to Seattle from LA. For me, the longest drive I had was Kansas City, which was like six and a half hours each way. So I did, I did make that happen. But luckily, like Chicago to Indy's not bad. Indy to Cincinnati's a couple hours. You know, it wasn't, wasn't too bad. Look, we're going to get into Trey Lance. We're going to get into, there was an injury at Broncos camp earlier today before us recording with Jerry Jeudy, with what appears to be a hamstring injury. We'll talk about that a little bit. But I, I want to ask you, so the eight teams you saw, or the eight practices you was the most impressive? And was there a team that stood out to you, either good or bad, that you were kind of surprised by? Yeah, it's a tough question, man, because I was thinking that because I got, I got a good balance of really bad teams from Arizona. I saw our guy, Connor Orr, had him at one and 16 for the, for his win -loss record, a story that came out today. So they, they, they looked like they're going to be really bad. And it was tough for me to figure out who's who on that roster. So I got that. And then I got all the really good teams, like the 49ers, you know, I'm high on the Seahawks, you know, that from our doing our, our midsummer prediction, by the way, that was tough. We had to pick our Super Bowl teams in what, like April or May we're going to do it again. And I'm so happy about that, but the Seahawks look good. I like the Cowboys a lot, but every year it's the same thing. Like they get far and they don't get past the second round. So I can't commit to them. Same thing with the Chargers. They just don't go far. Like they're really hyped to have a lot of good players. So I keep going back to the 49ers because they've shown to me to at least get to the Super Bowl, or at least make it to the NFC title game. And then Brock Purdie being healthy. That to me was all I needed to see to say, you know what? I like the Seahawks, but I'm going to leave that bandwagon and go to the 49ers. Do you believe in Purdie? I mean, look, obviously you believe in him enough that you're, you're, you're high in the Niners, but you know, they'll roll with Purdie, which we knew they would, if he was healthy. Lance is the third string guy. And I know you wrote a piece on trail, Lance, we can get to him in a little bit here. The roster's stacked. I don't think anybody questions that. I mean, they have all pros literally in almost every single meeting room. They, they, they have guys everywhere. They have a very good head coach in Kyle Shanahan, but they've been a team that they haven't found their quarterback or at least they haven't proven to have found their quarterback yet. They went to Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo, of course, now with the Raiders, who you saw as well during your tour.

"And I just love the idea of taking Perry Mason and kind of turning it into an LA confidential Chinatown type vibe to the show. Is that how it was pitched to you? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, when they said, we're going to take it back to, you know, as I said, when the books were, he has a rough he had a rougher edge, I think, in the books. Yes. He was, you know, he was tended to go around town beating people up and was not Raymond Burr is what you're saying. No, exactly. Exactly. The reimagination he was not going to be your father's Perry Mason. Which he wasn't. And the writer said, we want to, you know, we want to load his bases, make him a little rough. They made him a World War I veteran. So yeah, they gave him this incredible, incredible backstory. So we saw the origin story of how he became the lawyer in season one. Which just adds to the kind of richness, the layer of it. But there was only supposed to be a season one, right? It was, yeah, we were meant to do a one and done. But the public spoke. No, you know, I think it's cool. Yes, no, it really is. It's everything you ever dream of. HBO went, you know, the reaction has been great. And how do you feel about a second? So I gladly put on the fedora again. So when it was done, it was, you thought it was done when it was done. Yeah, we did. No, that was it as we kind of as we rolled into COVID. I just thought that was the end of mason for me. And it did well. So did you rewatch any of the old Perry masons? You're just like, that is so far a field of what we're going to do. It doesn't even matter. It is. In the past, I've done parts that have been originated by other actors, and I have watched them and to my detriment because I know I have this weird thing where I know somewhere subconsciously or unconsciously I will mimic or regurgitate or in some way, you know, it'll come out. So when that happens now I just leave the originators alone. Yes. And try and start from scratch and bring it up organically. Matthew Reese here on the rich eisen shown for our radio audience. I mean, folks who know you and watch Perry Mason seeing on the Roku channel, they know it's you on the radio, they might be this sounds nothing like Perry Mason. So how do you do such an incredible American accent? This is what I've said and I continue to say he's basically, I think, especially kids who are in the 80s in the UK, we were all early 80s. We're all raised watching task in Hutch and the a team, and Americans should we raised on American shows. So it was Dallas still too early. Of

Yeah, I just Chris, man. All right, I'm not going to come at you with that. I'm not going to come at you. It was like facts or anything like that. All I'm going to say, man, it's right now. Wednesday, 8th, ten and basically. I'm going to call you back a year from now. And you're going to write me an apology letter. I'm talking all this smack about Daniel Jones. I'm going to want to handwritten a poll duet or two that's for my bad opinion, and you were right, Daniel Jones is a good quarterback and worth the money. So it would start dear Evan, right? Yep. Dear Evan. Last name's not Hanson, is it? Nope, nope. But don't vote. Okay. Very good. Because if that was the case, we'd make a great musical out of. You writing an apology letter to deer, Evan, in Portland, Oregon to say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about my bad day on Daniel Jones. That's the first line. Yep, yep. Okay. And that is worth it?

Do you accept that Chris? Is that what already obliterate your .5 of the over underline of the amount of games that Daniel Jones in the postseason is entire new contract. So he has to play well in the playoff win. He has to be the reason they win. Okay. I don't know. I mean, making the playoffs period would be, okay, is that fine with you, Evan? Yeah, yeah. I'll even have it be Chris's opinion of what well. Oh, wow. He's leaving it to you.

We're getting a whole new audience thanks to our Roku channel relationship now. Chris lost a bet years ago. Maybe our first year on the air, you were so upset because you owed somebody what a lunch and a sports drink. You were so upset that the sports drink that was chosen was a few dollars more than any other sports. He thought he was being gouged on the sports drink. So he's not going to hurt you. All right? All right. All right, very good. I like that. All right, we're now going our separate ways. Thank you, Evan, great call from Portland, Oregon. March 8th, 10 a.m. Pacific time.

I just love listening to him just give you the straight facts about how negotiations happen and what's going on between player and front office management and things of that nature and you talked about Lamar and Rodgers in the jets talking and he talked about what the bears are going to do with the first overall pick. What he would do with the first overall pick. And if you missed that or our number one with Daniel Jeremiah, my buddy from the NFL media group, reviewing what happened at the combine and what he thinks is going to come from a combine. Stay tuned. We re air right away right here on the Roku channel. Channel two ten. And we re air until we're on the air, the very next day. There's our podcast as well cumulus podcast network so you can get our three hours of our show and we chop up a good portion of it and put it on our YouTube page YouTube dot com slash Richards show. Ran into this man at the combine as well. He is a fixture. There as well as at all big time events for the National Football League. That's part of the reason why he's in the pro football Hall of Fame in that wing. He is from NBC sports and the football morning in America scribe Peter king back here on the show. How you doing PK? Rich. Good to be on with a good to see you in Indianapolis. Thank you right back at you. What is going on between the jets and Rogers? It seems like if the Genie is now out of the Green Bay bottle, that this is going to happen to me. What do you think? Peter? Well, I don't know. As someone at the combine said to me, a very good friend of one of the three decision makers in the jets organization. His very good friend has not returned his call in two months. And he knows why. Because they are hunkered down and they're not going to talk about what they're doing until they do it. My feeling as is your feeling rich is that obviously they want Aaron Rodgers, a number of things could be happening right now. A, they could be convincing Rogers that it's really probably the only place he can go. He's not going well, I shouldn't say he's not. But he's almost he's very unlikely to go to Vegas. I have not heard and I talked to all of the usual suspects in Indianapolis, I found nobody else who's really chasing after Aaron Rodgers because people don't want a short term solution. Now, Carolina doesn't want to short term solution. Indianapolis has had nothing but short term solutions. So they don't want that. So the jets really plus the Jets have a top 5 defense in football. It really is a very good place for Rogers to go. But again, does he want to play, does he want to play for the jets? Does he want to play somewhere else? I'm of the opinion rich that Jordan Rogers and our Jordan love and Aaron Rodgers, one of them is not going to be on the Green Bay Packers this year. And I think the packers would prefer that it be Rogers who goes just like it was 15 years ago this week. Literally. Unbelievable. That Brett Favre left the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers was annoying it as a starter. But again, I wish I had great insight information to tell you, I just simply don't. I hear you. And I appreciate you saying that. But you read the room and for Rogers to be given permission to talk to the jets, speaks volumes as far as I'm concerned, and one thing I want to pick pick up that you dropped is why not the Raiders? I know raiders fans sit there and think, hey, Rogers coming out here and throwing it avante Adams. Let's run that back. And figure out how to make sure Josh Jacobs, who's franchise tag and Darren Waller. And everyone else that they have under contract and stay there and run that back because you look at the division and it's mahomes sitting astride it and Herbert and Russell Wilson now, one would think going to be vastly improved with Sean Payton. That's a deep, deep end of the pool that they need to one would think splash in with Aaron Rodgers. Why not? Why not the Raiders? You know, you're right about that ridge, but I think there's two things number one there are a lot of people around the league who think that Mark Davis simply does not want or can't. Basically get into the business of throwing an extra $60 million at Aaron Rodgers. However, they would do that contract this year. Now, the Raiders do have per over the cap, about 31 million in what's called effective capital, which is the more realistic number that they can spend. And so they probably have the money to finagle and to do things. But the problem with the Raiders is the Raiders have a lot of holes. And the Raiders I don't believe want to buy a one or two year band aid, even if it meant that it would be great for them this year. I think the Raiders want to get a quarterback if they want to get a quarterback who is somewhere between financially manageable like theoretically Jimmy Garoppolo would be in the I'm guessing based on the last two days because of the last two quarterbacks who have signed somewhere in the 30 to $35 million range. I would think Garoppolo would be and is somewhere between that. And drafting a young quarterback in developing him.

"Roku channel as soon as we're done on channel two ten. There's also the video on demand service portion of our relationship with Roku and the Roku channel, the rich eyes and show collection. Chris brockman and his spot, DJ Mikey D's and Dee's nuts, Mike del tufo is in his spot, TJ Jefferson is hanging out with us as always here on the rich eyes and showing our turn to my right and stop talking without paying attention to him good to see you longtime NFL executive of the eagles and the Cleveland Browns and the cofounder of the 33rd team website Joe banner here in person. Good to see you, Joe. Great to be here. That was a mouthful. You know what? I talk mouthfuls for a living. That's what I do for a living. We're getting to the nitty and the Gritty portion of team building. Are we not right now? Right on the edge. We're right on the edge. It's one week ago yesterday is when the negotiation window opens up. What do you think of that term? Joe diner. Negotiating window. What do you think of that? Who have we got it? Came up with that is pretty clever. Don't you think it's better than cheating, right? Don't you think? Well, we negotiation period. Is that what it is? Negotiation period. We used to call it tampering period and we heard that maybe we want to choose a different word. Aaron Rodgers shows up in New York to talk to the jets. Clearly that means the packers are given permission. Absolutely. What do you mean? What do you read from that? Well, I think it's hard to imagine going back to Green Bay after he goes and takes a visit with another team and we don't know what could be the first of a series of visits. But I can't picture a scenario where the team gives a quarterback that stature at this point in his career permission to go talk to another team that he's coming back to them. Right, it's tough to put that Genie back in the bottle, right? I mean, even with darkness for four days and whether or else you're going to do, I don't know how you get to the place where you go, okay. Right. I'm going back there. He's at least earned wanting to be wanted, right? Right. Exactly. So the fact that he's gone there means he's essentially gone, don't you think? I think it'll be shocking if you ended up back in Green Bay after this. I mean, two days ago, he asked me I would have said, who knows? Right, you know? But now that you hear he has shown up in New York and he is having direct conversations with the jets which must have been blessed by Green Bay. I mean, actions speak loud on the words, at least one of them said I don't want to be back here, at least I want to look into what my options are and. In the conversation of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game. Now you bring them back after you say that to him. Or he said to you, you know, I'd like to see what else is available. I can't picture what a conversation fixes that and then we line up training camp everything's good. Let's pretend that it happens. So then what's your best guess of what the conversation is between Rogers and the jets? Well, I assume the jets are just in a recruiting mode. And I assume they have at least had some preliminary conversations with the packers. Men is just too visible to think. It's not going to go unnoticed. Right. And they could play as on their team that are going to be affected mentally, psychologically, but what they're seeing. So I assume they've at least had preliminary conversation enough to know that if they want to get a deal done, there are at least in the same ballpark they may still have to finish the details. And their own recruiting mode, you know, they're trying to show him that, finish your career and have another chance at a Super Bowl, you can do it here. I mean, that's to me, it's a tough sell. And who those of you guys, but that's a tough sell. What makes you think it's a tough sell? I'm very basic about this. I don't think you want a soup while they're great quarterback in two dominant lines. Everything else, that's not the end of the story, but you've got to start there. And I just don't see the jets even with a Rogers at the point where they're going to be able to dominate those lines the way teams. You've got to be able to prevent pressure on your quarterback able to get pressure on the other quarterback. If you look at the end of the teams that went in almost every year, you can say those things, they were really good at protecting the quarterback. They were really good at pressuring the quarterback. And then have a pretty darn good quarterback of their own. That's right. Those are the three things now. Again, you don't win a Super Bowl. If you have those three things, but that's the foundation for me. Right. So if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I think I'm playing two more years. I'm not, I may be betting if I don't have any other options, but I'm not betting if I do have other options. That that team is in that position where they can dominate those areas that I think are crucial. I don't think he cares about anything, but winning a Super Bowl. Sure. So if he agrees that those are the priorities, you know, I think it would be tough to get there in the next two years with the jets. Right. And so that aside, because he may not have another option. Certainly we've established that you don't believe Joe banner the option of staying put once he's kicking tires going somewhere else in the packers say, go for it, you check it out, that you can put the Genie back in the bottle.

"League addressing this quarterback pushes the push plays to use the jail and so forth. Do you have any reaction to that? Any thoughts on or maybe buy that? Talking to the conversations. Yeah, I think it's a better question for coach cherry. All I know is everything we're doing is legal. And it works and just because people do something that's really good, doesn't mean it should be outlawed. Have a hard time understanding personally why this is such a big issue. Yes, the eagles ran it perfectly many times. Haven't we seen this our whole lives watching football Chris, why are you laughing so much? Because you love him. I think because I think as time goes on and on here, I love Howie roseman more and more. It stinks that he's not running my favorite team, just how awesome the job this guy's done. In recent years, I think this whole thing with the push is hilarious. Nobody can stop it. So everyone's like, we can't stop it. Let's get it banned. But also, it's been around forever. So yeah, but nobody's really done it to the extent that the eagles have done it here. They've really figured out kind of a loophole TJ of like, we're gonna bring the rugby scrum and we also have this awesome quarterback who can't really be stopped. So let's just kind of shove everybody forward. This is kind of what goes back to like, can we blame Matt leinart and Reggie Bush for this? This is kind of where it started. Also, I can understand why you're a fan of this because your team is quite notorious for taking those rules. A lot of rules that people don't even know exists and kind of, you know, pushing it to the edge. It's still legal, but because no one knows about it, people are like, oh, this is wrong. It's like, nah, we're able to wait a second. We're able to just do this real quick, bang, we'll do that. So I can understand how you would be a fan of Howie, because your team is really good at doing stuff. TJ, don't be bitter because we win. There's a reason to be honest with you. Also, if something is legal and we do have a lawyer coming in studio for much of the second hour in Amy Trask and we can ask about the legality of this if you like TJ from your bitter perspective. I'm impressed. I'm impressed. You're able to progress that we're smarter than you are. And look, how we check the rule book, everything's legal. It's a push not a pull, right? To push not a pull. Pulling it legal, pushing totally fine. You know, the Tom Brady was maybe the greatest quarterback sneaker of all time. I think Jay one hurts is gonna give him a run for his money as long as they don't ban this because they don't like it. And the truth is, is that that was the best of his mobility, Tom Brady. I mean, there were times that he really fell forward beautifully. And I'm not gonna lie that it was legal. It is legal, and I have a problem with changing it. And I know that the rules committee is waiting to hear my thoughts on this. So let me just talk to you directly because rich can't get a state at your committee. Hey, listen, guys. I think it's fine. I think it's okay. I think you should leave it be. And you're welcome. See what I did there? Is that tech rule was back then with no one knew it existed. It was. You mean the forward pass. Hey, listen, TJ so fish, you should pour for the rest of us. 'cause she comes out here. CBS sports football aficionado and we're excited to have you here for much of the second hour. The princes of narcs will join us here on Roku channel and on a radio and podcast networks across the country. And we'll talk much more about the combine because that's why I'm here, people, right? I'm not here just to fill the seat, although many people think that I do poison my husband to come in to get some air time. And they think that because you actually said it, you said that. Was that me? Lots of rich guys and show when we finished up this first hour much more in the two hours coming back. We'll be right back with. Yeah, and I like how he because he puts himself out there. That's what I like. I like about him. I mean, he's very much a 21st century GM. And by the way, like so what if he's like flirting with legality? It's legal. It's either legal or it's not legal, correct, Chris. I want you to remember that when one of your kids comes home a little bit late from curfew or does something. And I want you to remember what you just said now. No, no. Our whole rule in our House, you know, we keep all of the electronics in a lock box. We found this out yesterday. And that's how rich is beating your son and fantasy 'cause he's not allowing him. Oh, you guys. It was still the one last night. So there's Cooper watching the Timberwolves game with me. And Timberwolves. Sorry, sorry, TJ. Twisted. And rich, I FaceTime rich so we could say goodnight to the kids. What does he do? He shows Cooper, his fantasy. 7 to four, 7 to four back and forth. Cooper's like, duh. I don't get any time. Which is wrong. Which is showing him like, shoving it down his throat. Kids 12. I think it's possible that rich cares more about fantasy basketball than his own family. Oh, wow. That's a statement cut. Clip it. Clip it and use that. While you were at the game. Yeah. How often was he checking the scores on his phone? Every 5 seconds.

"Watching a very fresh faced rich on with Ed Reed as we were watching here on the Roku channel and I have to say, we talked about this before the show Taylor's always wanting him to shave Chris. A fresh face. I prefer the bearded rich. I'm not gonna lie. Is that okay? Yeah, it's totally fine. I mean, you know. Number two counts more than most. I do, but I mean, so do you guys, we should probably talk about this when rich isn't on hold waiting to join us here on the rich eisen show, but that's just how we roll here. We like to discuss rich and third person and also like he's not even in the room or on the rich eisen show hotline. So we can welcome rich back into his very own show hi rich. Hey, suze, guys, what's going on? How's Indy? I am standing inside the convention center hall in the media center. And the fact that there is a media center for a combine just blows me away is, as you know, I've been coming here quite a while. As soon as it was 18 years ago, that I first left our homes were combined to say goodbye for a week. This is 18 years now and when I first came here it was in the old RCA dome, which has now been destroyed to make the parking lot for Lucas oil and there may be a handful of members of the media and they were all kept outside of the one entrance into the combine and they would just try to pick people off to interview them. And then they started having people at podiums and there would be throughout the convention center. Now there's just one haul and I'm like looking and there's 8 podiums and prospects we're supposed to be at them. But they pulled all the prospects this morning on the news of jailing Carter. So all the podiums that would have been filled with defensive line prospects get to set to work out tomorrow are all empty. Until the top of the hour when coaches and general managers return to them. So what do you expect in what's going to happen now today, rich, that how does this alter everything you mentioned, obviously, the players no longer on the podiums today, but will this take over the entire narrative of the combine today? You know, I think tomorrow for sure, Sue is tomorrow is when the on field drills start when Daniel Jeremiah and I started talking for an insane amount of time together. And so tomorrow when the defensive linemen are working out, we'll still focus obviously it'll all drill down on the kids who are out there working out and on screen, but look, I mean, Daniel Jeremiah's number one player on his draft board is jailing Carter. There are a ton of other evaluators, not just on the media, but inside draft rooms. And inside draft meetings who have jail and Carter number one on their draft board. And that young man is no longer number one on their draft board. And he has left here, and I was told, as a matter of fact, that he was getting set to take the podium. He was ten minutes away from his media availability when word came down out of Georgia that he was about to be charged with reckless driving and the charges with which he was served. And that's when the league and everybody running the combat in the league doesn't run the combine, the scouting community does pull Jalen Carter and I don't know why they would pull the rest of the defensive prospects. I guess they didn't want the kids being asked the question about Joe and the one I'm going to say, but they just decided to just yank them all and so that's the conversation today is the guy whose number one on so many people's draft boards was ten minutes from being at a podium before he got told and he's no longer obviously at the combine. He's got serious charges facing him back in Georgia and should he clear those, then obviously there will be a conversation about where he's drafted in the NFL Draft should he clear those charges between now and I guess what is a 56 days from now the NFL trap? We were talking just Charles Davis and I were just talking a few minutes ago. He was talking about Lyle Collins who, you know, TJ knows very well. He's a former cowboy now with the Bengals. He was falsely accused of a crime at the combine years ago. While he was here, it didn't work out, and then it didn't get drafted, then wound up signing with Dallas having a terrific career. To this date. So I don't know is the operative three words for Jalen Carter that will be a serious conversation tomorrow, one with a defensive lineman or out there and then obviously when the defensive lineman are done, we'll all turn our attention to it, but for the moment, the guy who's number one on so many people's draft boards is facing jail time and isn't here anymore. Let's move on to some other news from the draft and for sorry from the combine and from football all around rich and that is Aaron Rodgers breaking his silence after his days of darkness. He says that he is back into the light. We've got a sound bite to run for you and love to hear your thoughts on the other side of it. All right.

Hodgkin says, we've spoken to him since. We have an answer. Have we? I don't think so. He was on our Super Bowl when the rams played the Patriots in that Super Bowl in Atlanta when he came on and he was part of the AT&T world. Turner world, we did our show. We did our show from the Turner studios in Atlanta down the corner from Dan Patrick. Studio, he pre taped that segment with us and went on Dan's show live. We all remember what he did on Dan's show where Dan was trying to pin him down on are you playing football or baseball just as I was and he tried to not answer the question and Dan and him had an interesting chat that went viral and then ours aired a few hours later and I don't think we've chatted since. Apparently he called in during Super Bowl week two years ago. It's not right. February 2nd or February 1st. My bad one. Look at you, Hoskins. Well, you know our library more than most.

If you say, the Roku channel dot com. That's free. So we're free. Zero point zero. Thank you, dean wormser. That's what it'll cost you zero. Dean worms are nada. We've got a ton of guests coming up here. This is going to be great the next two hours. We just had a great chat with Tom Curran of NBC sports Boston. He said, move on from that whole concept that the Patriots are going to move on from Mac Jones. So don't pay it any mind. All right. Okay. Coming up on this program, our number three max duggan from TCU going to half him on this program, even though he broke my heart like Fredo. And the Fiesta bowl. It just shows that you're fair and balanced. Speaking of movies, cocaine bears star O'Shea Jackson junior coming up in studio, our number three. And then in about 20 minutes, it's the 43rd anniversary of miracle on ice. So let's get Al Michaels on the phone. And so we shall. But joining us on the program, one of our favorites, a Super Bowl winning head coach, joining us, care of Novartis, the makers of lectio, talking about a cholesterol initiative and so much more our friend BA back here in the program, Bruce Arians. How you doing, Bruce? Doing great, rich. How are you doing buddy? I'm doing great. How's retirement? Treating you. How's it going? I really, really good. It's a lot less stressful. And I have a lot of fun. Okay. Give me some of the idea of fun. What are you doing for fun, Bruce? What do you got? What are you doing? Well, stress has a three foot putt. It's a little bit different. It's a little bit different coming fourth and one. Okay. Okay. But I'm gonna enjoy playing a lot of golf and the weather's great here to Lake, so. Okay. Yeah, it's been fantastic. I don't want to ruin your game by giving anything away. You don't give any candy away, but how's your game looking? What are you shooting these days? Bruce, what do you got? It's actually pretty good somewhere between 77 and 85. Wow. Damn, Bruce? Are you serious? You're threatening par on a, all right, let's partner up. Let's do it. Yeah, well, not really threatening it, but getting close to a couple of times. I love it. Fantastic. I can't wait to shoot my age. I look forward to that as well. But so I guess you're shooting Tom Moore's age is basically what you're saying. I'm being Tom every day. Very good. So do you miss it at all? Did you watch any football this year and go damn? I would love to be on the sideline right now. At any point in time. You know, rich, I had the best, I had the best thing. I got to practice being a head coach for 12 games. And this year I got to practice retirement for 16 games. I was at practice every day. And obviously sat in a press box after the New Orleans fashion. And. So I got my fix, you know? I'm a fix on football and now I'm kind of stepping back a little further. And then join life. Did you get banished to the press box, Bruce? Let's be honest. Tell me, did you get banished? You get sent there? Is that what happened? Yeah. There's new rules in play now. Okay. Which is what? You can't bark at the opposition on the sideline if you're not the coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Yeah, I guess you can't be in the white or something. Okay. If you're not a coach, you can't really holler to other teams players. So you needed that reminder? I love that. I didn't do anything. I haven't been there for 25 years. I didn't know what to do. See, I didn't even ask if you said the magic word, I just assumed that you did. So then you didn't at any point in time. Because I just remember, I just remember being on the sideline with mooch, when we used to do Thursday Night Football games, and he'd been so far removed from it. And he'd go up to the officials and he'd slap him in the thigh and just say, what was that all about? I could just see it just never really leaves you. It never really leaves you. So I'm wondering about you, Bruce. Yeah, I mean, trying to cut them out from the press box is really hard. And I know they can hear me, 'cause I'm hollering loud enough. Nice. Everybody in the press box set with my language. All right. Bruce Arians here on the rich eisen show. Senior adviser at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So what would you advise them on the quarterback front right now? If asked in a meeting. I think we're in good hands with Kyle Trask. I love Kyle, he's been there two years now, small Tom work, how to get there, playing gabbert, was a great mentor for him. But just like three years ago, you know, you've got to search what's behind door number two. Three years ago, we never would have guessed Tom Brady was by door number two. And so you do your research. Do all your homework and then you decide what's best for you. And right now, I'm very comfortable with Kyle's our guy. So what did you see in Kyle when you drafted him that you know that you can unpack right now as the guy after Tom Brady, Bruce? A guy that worked his ass off to get to where he's gotten and he works extremely hard every single day. He's got all the size. He's got the arm. He's got the stature of what we like. And he's mobile. So now he's not a burner, but he's mobile enough. To do some things. So looking at all the young quarterbacks today, I mean, he's not four or 5 jaylen hertz type guy, but he can take him to a lot of things that help us win, especially with the players around him. And then I'm curious to know what you thought about the team moving on from Byron leftwich since I know the story, Bruce. You've told it here on this program and I know what he means to you. He was the guy that you took off essentially the couch. You took him out of his spot to say, I think you should be coaching. And then you wouldn't have taken the Tampa job if Byron wasn't coming with you to call plays to take that off your plate. And the play calling aspect off literally your health, which is what you referred to and I know that's what you're here to talk about as well. So what did you make of eventually Byron no longer now being with the team? It was hard. It was very hard for me. But it's kind of football team. And I handed it Todd for a reason. He's got to build it and his image and there's no hard feelings between the two guys. The philosophy just didn't match and so looking forward to meeting the new guys and getting back down there in the spring a little bit and working with them. But I've got all the trust in the world and Todd Bowles and but I feel terrible for Byron. I think Byron will still be a head coach soon and he should be. So have you spoken to Byron and connected with him? Bruce? Okay. Very often and just making sure see what he's thinking and where he might be heading to and make sure it's right for him. Yeah, exactly right. Because I know he and Brady, I saw them in Munich together. They seem to get along and obviously you want a Super Bowl all together.

"My 8th anniversary is coming up in about three weeks time. And I loved my time there. And when I got a call to say that they were getting out of the business of this show and the Dan show before it, because the audience channel and the one inch network was going away, I was broken up. I mean, it was totally crestfallen, but it turned out to be a blessing. I now own the show. I own the IP of the show. And the streaming world that I was cursing saying, you know, well, that's streaming world is taking my show off of audience. It's been an incredible blessing more and more ad supported shows are winding up the fast channels are very popular. The channel is on a peacock was terrific to be on my show is now has its own channel on the Roku channel. It's channeled two ten. Obviously can't beat that. It's like my old days of SportsCenter as soon as my live show is over. The show that I just did live is now re aired at wheels. 7 times over. And soon, the Roku channel is going to have more and more and more live programming around it. It's very exciting spot to be on. And again, I understand that streamers sometimes gets the side eye from, you know, old school folks, but it really is the future and I love it. And I want to be very clear about this too. My issues with streaming are only for life sports. If the rich eisen show on Roku, I was a surprise, 'cause I remember when ESPN when they recently did the Derek Jeter Doc that was 7 parts. And I would tell people, oh, you should watch it. Where can I watch it? ESPN+. Oh, I'm not watching it there. I'm the opposite of that. I have no problem putting on ESPN+ and watching a Derek Jeter documentary. My only issue is with the life sports. So I just want to get that out of this paywalls and stuff too. And again, that's why, again, Roku channel is free and that's, you know, and the future with this show and that platform is, I'm very bullish on it. Very exciting. So let me ask you about quickly, I looked it up. So I see NFL network has the international games. They've got Christmas Eve and they've got a little Saturday late in the season. So I guess that's where we'll see you. You don't have to confirm that, but I forgot that that's what I forgot the NFL network was doing all those international games. You know what I need to do?

"It was getting viewers. People were watching it. And the creators were like, listen, we're going to go to Hulu. We're going to go to Netflix. We're going to see. You know what you never know. Yeah. And then I came out and was like Roku bought us. To make it not even to make more of the show to make a one singular Christmas special. But you gotta do it. You gotta take the opportunity to finish your story in the narrative and make more money. Capitalism. Yeah, man, even I wish they did that. So here, so there's a Christmas special on the Roku channel. You can only watch it on the Roku channel. If you have a Roku, you already have that channel on your Roku. You can just go to the Roku channel website and watch it, so it's weird because it's completely free to watch. Yeah. To watch this TV special. And oddly enough, the first seasons on Roku are the second season still on NBC, so you have to go to NBC to watch the second season, so. Anyway, that is Zoey's, that's where it's come from Marcus. Have you heard of the show? Did you know what it was? What's your history before I gave this to you? I will say it makes complete sense that no one was watching the show, or that a handful of watching the show. Because what? I heard about this show, and then it disappeared. So when you gave me the challenge, I was like, oh, that show, I heard of that. And I couldn't place when I've heard of it. It could have been 5 years ago, and it's like a very good long running show, or it could have been 5 minutes ago and you're telling me to watch the first season because it just ended. I didn't fucking know. When I heard about it. So I was like, okay, cool. And then I looked at it and I found out that I had two seasons, and that shocked me because this show lasting for two seasons mean enough people watched it for it to get a second season, and somehow no one's talking about. So that means that this show lives in a world where it is okay enough that people are watching it. But not good enough that anyone's even talking about it. So even if people are watching.

"They listeners. Mike schneider here. And i'm brett molina and welcome back to talking tech so mike whatever happened to that video app funny mentioned that i think folks will remember the short live video service that launched in april twenty twenty by former dreamworks animation ceo. Jeffrey katzenberg and former ebay ceo. Meg whitman it got. Its name qube from quick bites or video snacks of eight to twelve minutes ideal for riding the subway or bus or in newburgh or waiting in line unfortunately justice launch the nation shut shutdown with the corona virus and started binging seasons of long form content. So could be shut down six months later in october. Twenty twenty then. In january twenty twenty one roku announced it was acquiring quibbles content for its own growing roku channel and now brokers gonna make a huge chunk of that library thirty shows available may twentieth which roku celebrate to streaming day. That's the day it shipped its first streaming player back in two thousand eight back then. It was called the netflix player by roku because roku he don't know began as a part of netflix and then was spun out of the company. Now some folks have seen this content because qube has more had more than one million downloads tap when it launched initially but for most of this. This is going to be new stuff. One of the shows hashtag free. Ray sean has already won short-form creative arts emmy awards for stars laurence fishburne and jasmine separate jones. There's also show starring sophie. Turner of game of thrones and liam hemsworth of the hunger games and christoph waltz specter. There's also documentaries Called ball and big rad wolf. And there's reality shows. I like christie's court where chrissy teigen presides and the revived punked hosted by chance. The rapper. also. Come into roku this week. A double helping of kevin hart who die.

Free Streaming Service Breaks Into Original Content
"Is streaming service out there. That's making moves as of late and if you don't mind watching a few ads here and there you don't have to pay for its content. Either that service is to be. Do you be i which was bought last year by fox for a cool four hundred and forty million. The sale brought around twenty thousand additional titles to the platform and marked. Fox's first foray into the streaming wars to these offerings range from tyler perry films to the nineteen ninety classic ghost so a bit of a mixed bag there as of this writing one of the most popular titles on the app was the two thousand adam sandler movie little nicky nineties. Kids rejoice when the sale of to fox was finalized last march company executives. Were clear they had no plans to produce original content. The verge reported at the time. Don't think of it. As a competitor disney plus netflix's apple tv plus or hulu verge wrote noting that all four of those platforms regularly stream their own content. Well how quickly. Things change bloomberg reported last week that to be is in talks with advertisers about funding yup original tv shows and movies. That didn't take long did it. The move comes after a record. Twenty twenty for the platform which saw usage numbers jumped fifty eight percent. Those growth numbers are pretty attractive to advertisers. To be will make three hundred million in ad revenue this fiscal year according to bloomberg and fox. Cfo steve tomsic said that revenue could grow to one billion dollars in coming years. The nudge for two to explore. Original content may have come from a close competitor. The roku channel which streams free movie shows and live news partnering with outside networks announced. The premiere of its first original series. This month roku got it start building software for smart. Tv's but his leaning into the success of its streaming service roku over fifty million active accounts by the end of twenty twenty according to deadline in the world of streaming services. Much attention is paid to. Well paid services like netflix and users of that platform repeatedly site the lack of ads as its most attractive feature according to emarketer with a free ad supported streaming market growing by leaps and bounds. The question is which of these. Two contenders will emerge victorious. Is there room for both online. Someone go get the popcorn

This is the daily tech news for friday january. Eighth twenty twenty. One in los angeles on tom. Merit and from studio redwood on sarah lane from studio colorado. I'm shannon morris drawn the top tech stories in cleveland. I'm lynn per nine. The show's producer. Roger j we were just talking about a cas product that makes you ice cream and ninety seconds whenever you wanted and why roger never cries wider conversation join our expanded show. Good day internet at patriotair dot com slash dpd s. Let's start with a few things you should know. Amazon has discontinued its prime pantry. Grocery and household item service products previously available in pantry will now be available like any other products on amazon. So it's not going away to gather but the service itself prime pantry launched in twenty fourteen offering reduced shipping on up to forty five pounds of household goods for a monthly fee. Amazon node vied prime pant pantry subscribers about the closure in december and then issued refunds the. Uk's competition and markets authority launched an investigation into google's privacy sandbox. That would block third party. Cookies in chrome regulator received complaints from the marketers for an open web coalition saying the plan would abuse google's dominant position in online advertising. So the investigations going to evaluate. If the privacy sandbox changes would concentrate advertising spending market share with google samsung launched the galaxy chromebook to a cheaper version of the galaxy chromebook at launched last year so instead of four k it has a ten eighty p lcd screen with less storage fewer cameras less ram. It's also heavier and thicker overall but it also now starts at five hundred forty nine dollars instead of one thousand dollars. That has a thirteen point. Three inch nineteen twenty by ten eight hundred sixteen nine. Lcd touchscreen with the dual core intel seller on five twenty five you upgradable to an intel core. I three ten ten eleven ten one. one zero. You eight gigs. Ram and one hundred twenty five gigs of storage for six hundred ninety nine dollars a shortage of semiconductors affecting automakers. Volkswagen said last month that they needed to adjust first-quarter manufacturing plans around the globe because of the shortage. Now honda says it will cut domestic output by about four thousand cars this month at one of its factories in japan nissan is adjusting production numbers for its note hatchback model and ford has moved up previously planned downtime at a kentucky plant for its sport utility vehicle factory to the jin chips all right. Well we're talking about cars. Let's talk about the the apple car. Yeah a lot of rumors as of late will really over the last few years. But but but the rumors had resurfaced recently and hyundais. Now talking to apple about kerr's so says the company hyundai representative told cnbc quotes. We understand that apple isn't discussion with a variety of global automakers including hyundai motor as the discussion is at its early stage. Nothing has been decided. Korean economic daily said that apple suggested the arrangements and hundred was reviewing the terms that involved e production and also battery development hyundai has had his own battery platform called e. g. m. p. going into production later this year. So might be saying what you're doing. Reuters sources say that apple would like to produce a passenger vehicle by twenty twenty four however might not be that date bloomberg's mark gurman reports in thomas e. v. from apple is five to seven years away and michio recently said he wouldn't be surprised if it takes until twenty twenty eight. Yes what's probably going on. Here is apple and i think this significant part has decided to start investigating how they would build. Whatever it is. They're going to build whether it's a whole car or an integrated platform and they're going to different manufacturers and parts suppliers and folks like magna including hyundai. And saying what are you got. How can you help us with this. And is a great company for this because they make parts they make systems. They make full cars. There's all kinds of services in the conday company that could play a part with apple so it may not be. That apple knows what they want from hyundai. It may just be that they're going and saying hey let's talk. You do a lot of the kinds of things that we think we're going to need. I'm pretty excited about this. I just got my first hyundai ever this year and my perception of this story was weight but hyundai currently uses android auto and a lot of their their cars. So i would love to see. How apple would integrate Hyundai's current technologies into something that is very useful for that apple ecosystem not just looking at e itself but also the The the systems inside of it the controls in how they would manage that four a driver and a passenger in the car. Yeah i mean. I think that's one of the big questions that i have is okay. Let's say let's say it's hyundai that that applet ended up working with with clearly not set in stone at least from what we know at this point. But let's say it's the companies for kicks. Let's imagine that that's what it is. Yeah it is. It is an apple car that hyundai produces a lot of parts for the way that works with lots of other companies to produce other hardware for apple. I mean that that's the loftiest kind of goal that we're looking at and maybe that would take till twenty twenty eight at you know if if apple was lucky. I think it probably has more to do with like you said shannon not that you know android auto wouldn't still be prevalent in a lot of passenger vehicles but maybe at some sort of it's a special relationship. It's it's a special kind of os inside a car that is supposed to you. Know i don't know move some merch because What apple is providing on the software side is is. Is that much more interesting. I really don't know if you look at that. Bloomberg article mark gurman sources are saying that Tesla people that apple has hired are working on things like interior exterior. Drive train stereo. Desist the kinds of things. You need when you're building a car not carting a software platform so then the question becomes is it the apple car period. Maybe hendaye makes it. Maybe somebody else makes it. And you know they'll figure out how to distribute it or is it the apple car by sunday and you go to hyundai dealership to buy it the way you went to an. At and t. store to an apple iphone but it's really apples car in cooperation with sunday. Are there multiple partners. I mean that's all the kind of stuff we're waiting to see but it really does feel like we have gotten to the point where this is no longer just yeah. They're working on project titan. They don't know what they're gonna do to. They have an idea. It's more than just software and they're working out the details. Maybe they don't even know that yet. Well i'm interested to see what happens but we also have some other news. Security among the systems impacted by the solar winds attack is the electron filing system. Used by the us federal courts at investigation is underway to determine if confidentiality of documents filed with the courts was breached and as a result starting wednesday confidential documents filed with the courts will be stored on standalone systems. Not uploaded big difference so these are documents sealed from public access because they contain sensitive information like investigative techniques identities of informants and a lot more other. Us federal agencies affected included the justice department the state treasury and energy departments as well solar winds has engaged. The krebs stay most security consulting group to help deal with this attack. That firm was formed by alex. Stamos the former chief security officer at yahoo and facebook and chris krebs the former director of the us cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency or sisa. So krebs was fired last month. By the president after finding no evidence of with voting systems in the twenty twenty election. Yeah stamos first of all brilliant for those two to team up and smart for solar winds to engage them for what they say is Helping with transparency with companies that are affected But this we we are not done finding out how bad this is. There are reports that there may have been other ways that this whoever is behind this intruded beyond just solar winds. They're finding evidence of that. They have not been able to root out the people that got into this vulnerability from all systems yet. They're still in there in a lot of cases. And you know this. This kind of confidential information is exactly the kind of thing you fear that someone would get intruding into a government system informants investigative techniques that you can now learn from to evade being prosecuted or caught yourself. That's that's crown jewel type stuff it's it's very interesting. In fact krebs spoke on record saying that it could potentially take years to figure out how deep the solar winds attack actually went and how many different kinds of infrastructure. You know brands and everything that it might have affected so this is not something. That's going to die anytime soon. I'm glad that they are reaching out. Craig's and stay most though because that i agree with you tom. It's excellent. excellent team roku made a few interesting announcements roku says. Npd data shows that the roku s was the top selling smarter operating system in the us and canada in two thousand twenty thirty one percent market share in canada. Thirty eight percent in the united states That's pushed the samsung's tizen number two. At least we don't actually know samsung's ties and was number. One in two thousand nineteen also announced a wireless soundbar reference design that uses wifi for its roku. Tv ready program remember. Last year roku announced the program which had a designed for wired. Sound bars. The program includes tcl. Pokemon on an element has just announced. They'll join as well with two point. Two point one ready sound bars roku tv ready to expand internationally later this year as well. But here's the big roku news roku has agreed to acquire exclusive global distribution rights to more than seventy five Shows documentaries some of which had not been released before qube shutdown. So there'll be some new stuff that nobody's ever seen after their exclusivity deal expires. That'll happen in a bit more than a year. Depending on the show roku will still have the rights to show the content just not exclusively until thousand twenty seven the content will have to be presented in original increments of ten minutes or less. The deal doesn't let them stitch it altogether. The content will be added to the more than forty thousand movies and tv shows already available. In the roku channel shows include from Be anyway punked. Murder house. Flip and dummy which stars anna kendrick. I never watched the new punk. I heard had its moments. The whole qube thing. It's really interesting to me because it was sort of like. It crashed and burned so quickly. And there's a lotta shot and friday around folks in the industry about it. And i think that's not because qube was doing things wrong. It was because the company had raised so much money time. Because you know. They had meg whitman. Jeffrey katzenberg who are you know. Heavy hitters and there was a little bit of like you are being to embassies and therefore you shall fail. The company did fail and the idea that some creators will have a new life on another platform shows. That just don't even saw but people still worked on. And maybe you're really good. I think this this makes a lotta sense and good for roku to get exclusivity for at least a few years so does roku have to wait at all in order to start showing this content or can happen immediately. I don't know when the start date. Whenever the deal is you know goes into effect. Then they'll immediately be able to to show it so you know within a month or so it would be my guess anyway but no they. They don't have once. The deal is actually in effect. They don't have to wait. What's going on here. is that the baby. Production companies own the rights to their own stuff but they have a two year exclusive for each one of their shows with qube and those two year exclusives are now being transferred to roku so roka will be able to have the exclusive for the remainder of whatever. The period was with quick. That's why it's more a year. Exclusively goes away then they still have the right to show it until twenty twenty seven but the production companies that made it can now start shopping at around to other places as well so the production companies do hold the content and remember this is just the content. Qube is still in a over. Its turnstile technology which is holding it up from selling its technology and i would expect once it resolves that lawsuit should resolve it in a way that they still hold their technology. They'll sell that to so this isn't the last you're going to hear could be selling off a part of it. I would imagine. Gotcha yeah that whole. The whole technology part of qube was again was an ambitious thing that was released at a very inopportune time in twenty twenty when everyone was like. We're just sitting at home like we don't need this like mobile phone technology. It's like cool that you can shifted around but you can't even cast thing. I mean the company did fix that pretty soon after allow about she was just. I mean it's just did. The timing couldn't be worse but that technology when you think of it in a variety of other form factors such as monitors that swivel talked about some of those yesterday. I don't know that qube or tiktok or snapchat or all of the stuff where we're like. Oh yeah that's the. That's the portrait view. Rather than landscape view. That works for certain apps is is is all that this is four. I think there's more to it So we'll see what happens and there's patents and things that are always valuable because you can use those to extract some concessions and money and stuff. So yeah expect that all to come join the conversation in our discord which you can join by linking to a patriotic. Can't get in there and talk about your favourite qube shows with all the other discord folks. Just lincoln to your patriotic out at patriotair dot com slash. Dpd s all right shannon. How do you clone a security key. Well i i will say please do not stop using your security keys because of this story i will explain it. Researchers from ninja lab published a paper on thursday showing how you could clone a google tightened security gate this is a two factor authentication key which is very similar to a you. Be key that you have to plug in or tap in order to access an account after putting in your username or your password credentials. Were both so in order to pull off the clone. You would need physical access to the key for about ten hours. Sometimes a minimum of ten hours just kind of depends on how good you are at this. About twelve thousand dollars worth of equipment physical equipment and custom software and some advanced skills in electrical engineering and cryptography as well. So you have to remove the chip and then take measurements of it at a being registered on each account that you went to attack the measurements observe electro magnetic radiation as the chip generates digital signatures that let the attacker slowly deduced the private key so measurements take about six hours per account. That's not including taking apart. The original tighten security key putting it back together. Then you need to seal the chip back into its case. You also need the targets password in order for this to work. So the reason it works is because of vulnerability in the security hardware chip residing within the google titan key and that is called an eighty seven hundred x by this company called. Xp if it's exploited in attacker could grab the elliptic curve cryptographic private key for the account and the same chip is actually found in other two factor. Authentication physical tokens as well like There's a ubiquity that it's found in but chances of attack or very very minimal given the scope of the attack so if you do all of this without the target ever noticing then they would never duplicated key but again given the scope given how much it costs and everything behind the scenes probably when it happened to normal user. The point of these security keys being the best way to use For two factor. Is that you can't even get at your private key right you. Nobody has to be able to get in there like the chip. Just doesn't make it available so the fact that they were able to get in there and get it is huge. You know the fact that they were able to do this is significant. But i mean if you're not a target of an advanced persistent threat. You don't need to worry about this. No one's going to go to the trouble to do this. And even if you're a target. I would guess shannon that most of them probably would be able to notice if someone took their key for ten hours or more you. You likely likely would especially since a lot of people with hardware tokens like google titan will stick them on a on their keychain for example like with their house keys or whatever wherever they keep all those personal physical devices that they don't want lost or stolen they keep them all on engaging so if somebody was to take one of these out of your purse out of your gym locker wherever it might be and remove it for like ten hour street minimum. You would likely know that this would have happened. the neat thing about these chips inside of these. Google tightened security keys. And any other cryptographic hardware tokens like these is that. Even the manufacturer doesn't know the private key so the fact that they were able to find vulnerability on these specific chipsets is really interesting. And i think that's the important bit of that. Is is even though the google titan like the end all be all of really excellent. Two factor authentication. There's always. The potential that vulnerabilities can be found. So i'm happy that this research came out. It's so fascinating and it's so interesting in this means that an x. p. and other security chipset manufacturers that sell these teeny tiny chips to google or whoever the company might be They can build on this. They can research and figure out what the next version of their chipset needs to entail in order to not be vulnerable to this again in the future. Yeah i mean this is really a good security story right. We finally figured out because there's always a way right. We finally figured out the way you get the private key out of a security key and guess what it's really hard takes a long time and now that we know it we can make it even harder and hopefully you know push that barrier out even further and even if somebody did have time to do this and you didn't notice i was reading the paper because i'm a huge nerd and they go as far as using fuming fuming nitric acid in order to get like melt the epoxy off of the original google titan. How are you going to put that back together. In order for somebody to not notice like there's a lot of intricacies with this attack in order for it to actually be pulled off so chances are very very slim that somebody would be able to pull off so again as i said at the very beginning. Don't stop using your google tightened security key if you have one keep using it because chances are you would never be attacked with this. Just just know if you haven't seen it in ten hours look together strange. This is going to be in a movie though. I'm calling that shot right now. We're gonna we're gonna see this movie. Where like i hope so. Somebody goes into surgery and they take his key and they go out and do all this and they slip it back in because ten hours later. He wakes up from anesthesia on something like that. I just hope they talked to the researchers so they actually show it off right. Yeah Sony tv and audio announcements Starting with details for its own tv lineup. Sticking with lead ravi x four k and k. Tv's will support four k at one hundred twenty hertz variable refresh rate vr as well as a l l m low latency mode and e arc. These are all things that are important. If you've got a ps five now you've got sony. Tv they can go. That sony also has an improved a chip that is going to improve the picture and sound positioning. So it aligns with what you see on the screen. Sony's master series. Tv's will come with a sensor that adjusts white balanced immense. Your ambiente color temp. You don't have to do anything they'll just do it. Also an aluminum heat shield. That will make for brighter. All the sets will support. Hdmi two point one. Another big one for ps five dolby vision hdr angle tv. Sony also announced. It's three hundred sixty reality audio platform if you're not familiar with three hundred sixty degree audio places instruments and vocals in a virtual sound field around your head but using just the one speaker so you can do this in an amazon echo or google. Home sony will start streaming video with three sixty audio later this year. Starting with concert from zara larsson on january eleventh. And somebody's gonna make speakers that support this. It'll be may supported by other speakers as well. But sony is going to put out the are five thousand and three thousand They've got that dark cloth. Surface that all these speakers seem to have these days with either bronze or silver accents. Work with google and amazon assistance and can connect to select sony abroad via. Tv's as well as supporting wi fi bluetooth. Spotify connect in google cast. The speakers do automated calibration to the room. They're in donut. The press a button for that. Either and we'll simulate three hundred sixty degree audio for stereo tracks as well. The five thousand cost five hundred pounds or five hundred ninety nine euros no. Us price yet on the three thousand two hundred eighty pounds. Three hundred fifty nine euros. This seems this. Seems like it's shaping up to be one of the trends. Is this the sort of three hundred sixty degree audio while you're listening to your black bank and it's just one speaker or potentially a couple of speakers ativan. Maybe yeah yeah already supported. Yeah there's less of kind of like What do i have to do. Five point one surround or at least get a couple of speakers and make them a stereo pair type thing. I really haven't heard this in. I don't know. I used to hang out at magnolia at best. Buy all the time. And just like geek out on stuff like this. of course. this technology wasn't around at the time. But it's really come on. Let's turn on some stuff and see the speakers. Do it works well. Then that's awesome my first reaction because i got rid of my kind of pants speakers some years ago because friend of mine needed them more than i did and i didn't have room in my apartment but i miss that i'm also an a. A permanent now that's smaller and kind of has a lot of weird angles and i find audio bounces off walls in wiz. That wouldn't if it was more of a square box broom So i'm not sure that i'm the perfect target market for this. You're the you're the one puts this through its paces and sees if it really works. Yeah if i could actually work as advertised again with some funny angles in a big old frame. Then i'm i'm really into this and i've always been. I don't have a sony. Tv currently sorry zony. But i was abroad. Bravi a person for years. Nears i think what the new bravi line is coming out with. Looks really nice. And i mean not totally in the market for a new tv. But i like the fact that i might get a new sony again paired up with a sony speaker. You got three six. Yeah already got all this stuff. It's going to be a messed anyway. You slice it. But i like. I like this to be sixty reality audio platform. What would you have set up in your house. I was straight up going to mention sonos because if if it doesn't have the connectability to be able to work with all of my other platforms that currently have invested in. Then chances are i wouldn't buy it. So i do have sono says in my house and i do have some issues connecting those with other speakers in the household to like like my google hub for example so the fact that this works with google and amazon assistant the speaker specifically The audio speakers. I think that's pretty cool. I like that. They are bringing that in and i am interested because i do live in a household. That has very high ceilings. How this would work in that kind of environment. So yeah. I'm very interested in the audio aspect. Well you might also be interested in what colour has come out. Oh yes the folks who make things like toilets and and sinks and lots of appliances however. Been a real. Cas mainstay for the last few years for some cool innovations and this year is no different. Even though we're not in vegas koehler has a new smart bathtub called the stillness bath. That lets you use an app or use your voice using google or amazon's assistance to fill up the water or perhaps set the mood by changing the color of the lights around the tab or even add some fog. You know you wanna kind of pretend like you're in the then present routines also turn on features in a certain orders if you wanna get kind of creative. that's cool. Yeah the certain amount of limitations with the base model and the base model is not cheap so temperature and depth control models alone will cost around eight thousand six hundred ninety eight dollars. That's right it's almost nine thousand dollar bathtub. If you want the experience tower that lets you activate fog and aromatherapy. That will run you just over ten thousand dollars. Both models are available in july. There are real things and if you want the version with lights and floor grades for overflow fifteen thousand nine hundred ninety eight dollars available. This october signed me off. I won't be buying those. Nope not even a little bit but we could have taken a bath at s in the new in the pre show roger was like. Why would you want fog. It's like this. Why does anyone want to be on. Yeah racist luxury suites in hotels for sure as well as apple's houses sure yeah something well. Yeah it's it's that like hey look at what my bath can do people go. Wow very fancy and then you know ten years from now will be like remember when we thought it was fancied to talk to your bathtub so that it would start filling up without touching it but Yeah it's it's somewhat silly because of the price. But i'm not really much of a bath person but they do look very nice all right. Let's check out the mail bag but ads do it. Nick wrote in with a pronunciation. Ramps own neck. You are not alone he says. Ac's rog is an initial list. Because it's our og like fbi or cia. People say ron yet. They're lower end gaming brand tough not initially them. It's an acronym like scuba or produce you f but pronounced off. It's like ace's can't make up their name minds. Then there's strict which is our subbrand strikes as a word it's a completely nonsensical made up word. But it's a word and you pronounce it as such nick as honestly as somebody. That buys a lot of hardware. Because i've rarely had a bad experience with them over the past twenty years. I am baffled by some branding decisions. The one the bugs me. The most is the strict subbrand. Sometimes acis makes the tricks products. The high end product in the product stock yet other times. It's a mid range product. Would it be too much to ask for consistency and product. Branding twenty twenty one. Yes apparently apparently we feel your pain. Nick i love the dichter's just like i just need to vent you guys. Let me let me let me get this up. Just we appreciate that. Yeah i mean i. i'm with you nick. Everyday is a fresh new hell when it comes to reading out some model numbers but what is not is shouting out our patrons at our master and grandmaster levels. Today they include christmas merton james and digression daniels and of course landon peralta back and illustrating the show. What have you drawn for us today. Len well you know. I'm really excited. Say that we've have the first image of the ample car the car. Which i'm that's what i'm calling it. I'm sure they're gonna take my advice. Coming around twenty twenty seven ish or so maybe You know you may. If you're a fan of richard scary busy world a you may be very familiar with the look of of the apple. Ii car I think it'll be a big hit with with fans of people who have kids So check it out. this is called meet. I car And this is available right now. My patriot on which by the way has to new levels.

Why Roku Wants Quibi's Content Catalog
"Last year qube became infamous as a well funded but short lived streaming service. It raised one point. Seven five billion dollars from high profile backers ben shutdown just six months after it launched now people familiar with the matter say the company is in advanced talks to sell its content catalog to roku the leading distributor of streaming services. Here to explain what's going on and how this news fits into a broader story about the streaming industry is our media reporter benjamin mullen. Hey ben thanks for joining me. Hey thanks for having me okay. So we should note that these talks are still going on and they could still fall apart. But i want to start by just understanding why a partnership could be strategic for both sides here. So let's start quickly. It's obviously now so what's in this. It makes sense for you to do this. Because the licenses to the content that was on their service is one of the most valuable things they still have. They have cash on hand that they're planning to pay back to their investors. And i guess the reason why they're doing this is because it's what they still have so it's one of the most valuable remaining assets and how is going to be handling. Its content more broadly. Now that it's shuttered. The company really put a lot of resources into its content big names. They recruited a lot of talent and the trip. Some really out of the box content ideas i imagine. They don't want all that to go to waste. So does that factor into these talks. Yeah they're still trying to figure it out. That's what these talks are about is all the producers who developed programming for qube they want their shows to be viewed by people because they put all this effort into him and qube wants to make money as much as they can from the library that they have and so buyers potentially want to exhibit these shows sell advertising sell subscriptions around them. So you can. You can see why it would make sense for all parties to get. Get to a deal here. Yeah and let's talk more about roku point of view. Why would this be strategic for them. Specifically roku has its own channel called appropriately the roku channel and they sell advertising on this channel and the advertising that they sell on the roku channel. The terms for the advertising deals are really really favorable to them so if they have more original content that they can put in the roku channel. They have a better case to make to advertisers and potentially more advertising revenue and of course their main role right now is as a distributor. That's the position they've been leveraging as they make deals with content producers as we've talked about on the show recently could up partnership with qube help roku convinced more streaming companies to make content available with roku. Well you could envision a situation where they tell. at which owns hbo. You should put your content on the roku channel because look at all this content. we have on their. We have exclusive content so this channels are really valuable. Place for you to be and you'll be alongside some other really good shows and one thing i have questions about. Quip was made specifically for mobile and it really prided itself on its so-called turnstile technology that changes the formatting of the shows depending on which way you're holding your phone but roku is primarily used on actual. So how would that partnership even work. That's a good question. I imagined that a lot of the content that'll be showed on the roku channel or roku if this deal would go through would be in the horizontal aspect ratio. Because most people's tv's are obviously oriented horizontally the vertical component of the shows. I'm not sure how that fits into a traditional roku. Apper your roku viewing device. Got it so questions yet to be answered here and just zooming out. What are these deal. Talks tell us about entertainment. And the strategy behind how content producers and content distributors are trying to navigate the fast changing world. I think what qualities demise showed. Everyone is that it's really a competitive place. There's a lot of streaming services that have launched even the last half year so and qube was obviously unsuccessful in navigating the competition so and roku has built success largely on the back of the growth of streaming because there are huge distributor so roku was accompanying that manage to really seize on the success of streaming and is captured an ever-growing part of that pie and qube. I think you can safely categorize them as a half of the streaming wars. You know they haven't been able to capitalize in the same way that roku has and in this case roku so it like the winners of the streaming moore's may end up absorbing the losers. Yeah yeah in this case. That definitely seems to be what happened all right. That's a reporter. Benjamin mullen ben. Thanks so much for joining me thanks. Amanda

Review: amazing TCL/Roku TV for $229
"Graham here with a question when the last time you bought yourself a new. Year after year. You know I've been amazed at the falling prices of sets that would garner seven hundred dollars two thousand dollars just a few years ago, and I just picked up a new forty three inch, T. C. L. set with roku built in for two hundred and twenty nine dollars. Two hundred and twenty nine dollars for a display that offers four K. HD, resolution and HDR. But forget about the acronyms I'm just amazed at what you can get now for two hundred bucks. I bought the TV for a non traditional reason to use it as a giant computer monitor to watch videos that I have edited on my laptop on my little sixteen inch laptop. So I paid fifteen dollars for a ten foot HD my cord. That's the Court of course that connects the TV to other devices and I connected it to my apple macbook pro. It went directly to the TV. I didn't have to spring for an additional twenty five to fifty dollars for a separate. Roku streaming player right so I saved money. The footage looks so great at forty three inches I had to wonder why anybody would go out and spend big bucks on a computer monitor a quick look on Amazon in a forty three inch LG monitor is upwards of six hundred bucks wow. So the other thing once I sit up the TV. I never had to plug in antenna cable box or anything defined oodles of programming. All I needed was a WIFI signal. roku screen name and Password and suddenly I had five hundred APPs available on the platform. A lot of them wanted money from me, but there was many that didn't there was so much free stuff I couldn't believe it. I mean I come from a generation that's used to connecting things to the TV whether that be streaming box whether that be an antenna whether that be a cable box. I mean this is amazing. I can act the nothing. so the APPS. There's the usual Pandora Hulu Amazon Prime Video Netflix's s on and on two big ones missing Hbo Max in NBC's Peacock. Financial negotiations, and then there's the roku channel which is a homegrown collection that supported movies and TV shows mostly on the older side. Batman bewitched movies like the perfect storm, dogs and cats. Crimson tide. And live news channels and these are really good from ABC. NBC and CBS. Accord cutters dream no cable needed. All you need is Wifi and you get more stuff than you'd ever Wanna see without connecting anything. So how cool is that? The picture quality I would rate as a ten for a two hundred dollar TV or five on the overall scale. If you're comparing it to the best of breed leads a fifty inch led from Samsung cost eight hundred dollars for the TCL set. You'll have to sit right in front of it. Turn the lights on low and not be on the sides and that way the pitcher will look its best for a savings of six hundred dollars I can do that.

What the Streaming Wars Mean for the Future of Advertising
"Right. So we're heading twenty twenty You've been doing an amazing job In a biased way. Say This uncovering the rise of volley streaming platforms and what we sort of think of the future of TV. I want to look forward to to twenty twenty but I like what what do you think. Twenty nine thousand nine was the year of if you will is your growth like there was a lot of growth of everyone obviously talks about the growth. A lot of people were moving industry mean and and I think that kind of sets up twenty two thousand for that's when the growing pains are going to start but like what's Gimme specifics. Well so in the upfront this year with advertisers and the TV now works digital played a bigger part in getting those budgets because in the past digital had been an add on for the networks and the also the prices had been higher then especially when it comes to like the cable networks. Their digital inventory was priced a lot higher than their linear inventory and so that had been a pain point but now with linear viewership decline Kline in they had to lower the prices for the digital inventory in order to get the bigger volume commitments. So it seems like when we're talking about the streaming wars and a a lot of people talk about distributors. We're actually talking about a bunch of different worse right. This is like what is it the thirteen years war. I don't remember but there. There's a lot of different people fighting writing. So how do you group them. What I'm thinking about is like I'm thinking net flicks is going up against Disney and interest and that is like this Inter Galactic Battle But then there are other battles going on. Yeah because then you have like the Nisha Suad Services and s fat come on subscription streamers But then then there's the free ad supported streaming TV services like the Pluto. TV's Zuma's Samsung TV plus roku channel. I N BTV and that's becoming more of of a war because right now there they all look the same. They all have the same old programming the same like movies that you would normally watch on like yeah Sunday afternoon on cable. TV So when you're looking at twenty twenty. Are we looking at a typical middle market crunch. I mean we're seeing this across pretty much every area we cover in in cross glossy with fashion and beauty and in Monterey retail with retail. I mean we're seeing the middle get crunched everywhere and that's going to happen and folks folks are concerned about it like BEEN MEETING WITH TV network executives and also you know digital entertainment executives and they're concerned about it because they they recognize that that's going to be the case that with connected TV. It's like mobile all over again for publishers where it doesn't really make sense for a lot of these companies to have their own connected. TV CBS because people aren't gonNA use them. They're going to stick with like a Netflix at Disney Youtube Pluto the aggregate. There's right and so there. It's the bundle all over again cowboy What about on the advertiser's side I think we've been doing a lot of coverage around you know some very core basic issues when it comes to connected. TV advertising. Like why the hell do I see the same ad repeatedly and why can And I thought you got into like a lot of the good details but why that what's happening. What what kind of growing pains you expect to see for the industry In Two thousand twenty when it comes to to connected. TV advertising a think the growth is still an issue there when it comes to getting more dollars because there was Someone Outta Holding Agency. I was talking to saying that you don't have to spend and is much when it comes to connected TV because you can be more targeted and because the ad loads are lighter to there just isn't as much inventory to be buy in so for anyone who's expecting gene TV dollars to shift entirely into digital. That's not gonNA happen because they don't have to shift entirely. You actually save money. If you're not retired Sir I mean as a a too simplistic to say that I mean there's so much of this viewing is going on That you there's no advertising involved everyone wants subscriptions right Yeah who has a different model but Scott Galloway talks about advertising becoming a tax on the poor I are we. We seen this actually play out Where there just isn't places for this TV advertising to move to because so much of the streaming viewing is an Anon- at environment? Well you have. I mean who the interesting thing with them is. They're limited commercials. Subscriptions since here is their most popular beer and with like their sprint and their spotify deals they've been doing a lot to push subscribers specifically for that here and so that that serves as something of a model but again then it's an aggregate or thing where people can sign up for Hulu because they'll get a bunch of different shows and movies that they can watch for someone WHO's smaller publisher. I don't know if people are going to be as tolerant of that okay so final thing Working on all these bold calls Going into two thousand twenty predictions right but Give us Keeps winning bowl calls. I think this martine manufacturers will band together and try to negotiate harder carriage deals when it comes to connected. TV with the different media companies. Okay so give me an example of that Well well it's already the case in the cable market where you have like the regional cable providers who they negotiate together as a group and I think the SMART ATV manufacturers are going to start doing that because you have Samsung already selling ads on its smart TV platform Now starting to same and I think more and more of them are seeing. There's an opportunity there because people don't buy. TV's they buy TV's like once every seven years or so and so these smart TV manufacturers have to figure out okay where can we get revenue in between. Ah People buy new. TV's okay cool. Thanks Tom Thank you.

And you heard that apple this week announced plans to launch yet another streaming service, offering movies and TV shows the likes of Oprah Winfrey. Steven Spielberg, and Jennifer Aniston, perhaps now is the time to cancel cable TV and go all in on streaming.

So let's drop that considerably to do. So keep your net service and watch TV from the huge array of free entertainment available online start with cutting or cable TV. So let's start at the most basic Bion antenna the intent as of today. They are much stronger than they used to be the cost about seventeen to forty dollars. They'll they come with a tuner, you'll get all the broadcast channels in a bunch of digital channels, offering international and old TV shows, you can cut your cable Bill by thirty dollars. You'll be looking at a savings of three hundred and sixty dollars yearly. But you know, you may not even need the Antenne because maybe you don't even care about broadcast TV many people don't, but you will lose out on a DVR without having cable you can buy an air TV for one hundred and twenty dollars, but you'll still need an antenna a streaming player and an external hard drive to make it work Amazon's fire TV recast is to thirty dollars. And with that, you'll need a fire TV or echo show speaker to make it work. But it does have a built in hard-drive or maybe you don't care about a DVR because everything is on streaming and available to watch any time. How about a television and a streaming player which you can pick up for about twenty five dollars. Roku Amazon fire stick or a smart TV? Most new TV's IRS are quote, unquote, smart, and there were way cheaper than they used to be in the two hundred and fifty dollars to three hundred dollar range now as a smart viewer.

ICYMI: Why TVs are now so cheap
"Jefferson Graham, USA you're listening to talking tech today. We're going to dive into what happened to the prices of TV's. How did they go from thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars? I just saw forty-three inch four K HD are smart TV from TCL with built in Roku at target for two hundred and fifty dollars two hundred and fifty dollars just a few years ago. This would have been in the seven hundred dollar range. There's a reason these TV's have gone down in price. One is cost the raw material costs have gone way down and the second would be the companies have figured out ways to make money off you once the TV enters your home, the TV is now a razor, and we are the blades. Let me tell you all about it. On today's episode. First of all, they're making deals with marketing companies programmers to basically snoop on you and to monitor your viewing. Every smart TV is a computer. Her. That knows what you watch. When you watch how long you watch. And even though they deny it. I think they know your age and your zip code, and I think they have some idea of your income level. That's just me. But you know, okay. So if you live in Bel Air, and you live in Beverly Hills, you probably make more money than somebody in Chattanooga, Tennessee. So that may be just sort of an obvious thing. That's one way the other way, they're making money on you is by showcasing so-called free movie and TV channels in very prominent positions and sharing in the ad revenues with the company, so Pluto TV has a free channel on video TV's called watch free TV it's showcases mostly old movies and older TV shows and has some live programming. Now. There's nothing bad in this that you why shouldn't video make some money on on ever touching since they sell TV's at basically cost. I think it's cool. And I think. That's how they wanna make money. I'd rather them sell advertising that I don't have to watch than really be heavily stupi on me beyond. Pluto to be is on many TV's. A company called Zumo is on L G T V's Samsung has their version basically, they've all got him the TCL TV's that are Roku branded have the Roku channel, and if you've ever seen any of the Amazon fire TV edition TV's, you know, they're dirty, and they would love to sell you things. Your shopping cart is one of the channels on this Amazon TB, I know because I have one even have a live shopping channel under the Amazon brand the good news about the snooping. Is that unlike the phones turning the snooping off is relatively easy, you go into the menu settings. And you just say, no, no, no. And thus the tracking is supposed to stop to tracking suppose the. Stop. Do you believe it? I'm not. So sure are you.

ICYMI: The joys of free TV streaming
"Talking tech is brought to you in part by northwestern. University offered in partnership with north Western's Feinberg school of medicine. The program prepares students for emerging opportunities across the healthcare spectrum. Details are at SPS dot northwestern dot EDU slash informatics. A spent the last few days reporting on the world of ad-supported free streaming services channels like to be Pluto TV excuse Sony, crackle and the Roku channel. Now. What I found was fascinating. I haven for thousands of movies and TV shows from a few years back that you can watch on computers phones, tablets or TD's. The streaming again, you pay nothing. But you gotta be willing to sit through ads in a world where companies are constantly trying to get you to subscribe yet another subscription service. This seems to be a good thing. Let me fill you in on today's talking tech. I'm Jefferson Graham. So here's what you need to know the film's, you'll find onto be Pluto and Roku, for example, are kind of interchangeable most have the same stuff. Pluto's goal is to resemble old fashioned TV it has a channel guide showing you dozens of channels with what's on now as well as video on demand Moster films that are eight to ten years old, but the live news channels from CBS NBC and others. Make it seem fresher. Pluto was the most popular of the channels followed by Roku, which is an interesting animal. You don't have to own Roku streaming stick to watch. Just call it up on the computer or the the mobile app and start watching free movies and TV. Excu. Mojo is similar to Pluto in that it offers channels down to even giving them numbers. With seems rather silly. It's an app channel three hundred doesn't mean anything to be says, it has the most movies of any of the channels some twelve thousand again older titles independent fair and older TV shows. I don't mind old. In fact, I love it. And when I spoke with the CEO about to be he made a really good point net flicks. Amazon and Hulu are all about selling you original programs and the library content is winning out Disney, which is starting its own streaming service. We'll be removing its titles from net flicks. So it would be fair to expect the Twentieth Century Fox titles are going to leave as well. As FOX's now owned by Disney Warner is starting its subscription service.

I haven for thousands of movies and TV shows from a few years back that you can watch them computers phones, tablets or TD's. The streaming again, you pay nothing. But you gotta be willing to sit through ads in a world where companies are constantly trying to get you to subscribe to yet another subscription service. This seems to be a good thing. Let me fill you in on today's talking tech. I'm Jefferson Graham. So here's what you need to know, the film's, you'll find onto Pluto and Roku, for example, are kind of interchangeable most have the same stuff. Pluto's goal is to resemble old fashioned TV. It has a channel guide showing you dozens of channels with what's on now as well as video on demand Moster films that are eight to ten years old, but the live news channels from CBS NBC and others. Make it seem fresher. Pluto was the most popular of the channels followed by Roku, which is an interesting animal yet don't have to own Roku streaming stick to watch. Just call it up on the computer or the the mobile app and start watching free movies and TV. Excuse is similar to Pluto in that it offers channels down to even giving them numbers, which seems rather silly. It's an app channel three hundred doesn't mean anything to be says, it has the most movies of any of the channels some twelve thousand again older titles independent fair and older TV shows. I don't mind old. In fact, I love it. And when I spoke with the CEO about to be he made a really good point net flicks. Amazon and Hulu are all about selling you original programs and the library content is winning out Disney, which is starting its own streaming service. We'll be removing its titles from net flicks. So it would be fair to expect that Twentieth Century Fox titles are going to leave as well. As FOX's now owned by Disney Warner is starting its subscription service.

Subscriptions what it means for your streaming options coming up. In a feature, which is scheduled to launch in late January, Roku will allow users to buy pay TV subscriptions through the Roku channel allowing Roku to sell subscriptions within its own channel. Which in hopes leads to more favourable economics for Roku, Roku hope. So at least let's get more. Joining us in the podcast duty. Oh with the latest is Wall Street Journal reporter Benjamin Mullen, welcome back. Hey, things Ravin. I get a feeling of what's on a new streaming menu. For the masses. This will offer what kind of streaming programming and channels you can access stars epochs Showtime. And then everything else you could Ardy access on Roku, which is something like five thousand channels or something like that. So this is obviously taking a page from the other players. How does Roku hold up against the big streaming rivals figures apple and Amazon, but in terms of its competition in terms of market share Roku seems to be holding its own against. A giants. It seems like a formidable competitor in this space. Yeah. Roku interesting story. Founded by a former Netflix executive, it's the sixth the company he founded, which is why it's called Roku 'cause six Japanese. That's yeah. He actually the Anthony would the guy founded it had the idea to do OTT streaming devices before they were really popular. And so in the meantime, in the last few years, Roku got gotten a pretty substantial market share. I think something between forty and fifty percent of these devices in the marketplace, and they've carved out a real niche for themselves, but there's huge competition Amazon, which is in so many industries publishing ecommerce retail is also in this industry, and so with their prime video model they've really taken away a lot of the market share fire, TV's and fire sticks and stuff, apple TV. And other tech giants. It's also in this space. So they've grown quite a bit. But they also have huge competition. And this is an attempt to open up a new source of money new revenue stream devices, obviously, it's bread. How does Roku make money said, it's carved a niche, but how does it succeed at making money? Yes. So they sell a lot of advertising they are primarily advertising supported so all the content that viewers watch on Roku. There's a lot of folks that wanna reach those viewers, and so they sell advertising, they also get some kind of shared economics from the sale of subscriptions to these channels like stars and Showtime and epochs good incentive for the premium channels right because they're trying to make money to one hundred percent. And the debate is if you're one of these premium channels, will you let Roku sell your subscriptions directly or do you want to do it yourself net? Flicks probably will not participate. They'll probably want to do it themselves because they get the direct relationship, and they get the data. But if you're a smaller premium cable channel like a Showtime or an ethics, and you don't have a huge consumer facing platform like some of those companies do like Netflix and Amazon then yeah, maybe it's worth forgoing some of the subscription revenue or a little bonus on each subscriber. To get that added to use Roku, essentially as a marketing channel. And again, you know, it's it's just another way to stream video there's no shortage. And it seems like these days the power in that seems to be back with the consumer. They wanna keep us happy because it seems like there are so many options. And so this trend of streaming subscription channels seems like where we've landed at the moment does that make sense one hundred percent. And I think the question is how many channels arena have subscriptions to we're all going. We're all gonna have Netflix. We're all gonna have Amazon probably, but then Roku. I mean, do we want subscription to curiosity stream, which is a smaller factual, entertainment one. I think the question is what our customers tolerances for these various services, then thanks as always for more on the story. Head to wsJcom that does it for the tech news briefing reporting from the newsroom in New York. I'm Tanya boosters. Thanks for listening.
