As soon as this goes too live and we are live apparently oh wait.  I don't have a Patron message or you're just gonna paste that in at the beginning. Oh I Don't have a patron message for you immediately. So If there's like a dropbox home for one I can play it right off the computer great. I'll send you a link Should I myself at this point? Oh patron intros. Here we go Oh, no, it's using my face. No, whatever His face for expecting No, normally I when I log in it to the DTNS Oh, gotcha, but I have like three Google accounts open because I freelance and so I have things going to different inboxes Ah Well, I have to have my weird shit any friend doing a weird thing or something make you have a dropbox link Which is super annoying. Hold on Are you guys do the show daily? And mostly on time Hold on are we live to we are live on the stream. I'm wondering why I can't oh because I turned dropbox off That's awesome Hold on sorry You know what Justin? It's not my dropbox won't let me send you a dropbox link, which I find a nice thing Okay, so it'd just be easier for you to paste it in afterward Yep, wait. Oh, maybe you'll do it now. Oh one more second. I love when things don't work. Um, yeah, I'll paste it in after Let me take a second and actually re-record all right you can start anytime you want Shit Hey, dude, dude. All right, everybody's muted ready to go. There you go. I was born semi-ready This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday May 14th 2015 I'm Justin Robert Young filling in for Tom Merritt who is watching his nephew graduate this weekend Joining me is a lifelong friend and somebody that I think Can bring a fresh perspective now that we've vacated Tom for the For the afternoon he is the star of don't trust Andrew Mayn on A&E as well as the author of many books and Like I mentioned a dear friend Andrew Mayn welcome to the show Hey, mr. Justin Robert Young. Thank you. Thank you, sir We have a I think a really really great discussion considering how much time We have both shopped at Walmarts It is that we we have a big Walmart story here, but first let's get into the headlines Apple's beats bass streaming music service will be renamed Apple music and integrate deep social networking for artists according to 9 to 5 Mac The service will allow artists to have pages so they can post samples photos video concert information and content from other artists iTunes user will have iTunes users will have the ability to comment on and like posts from artists But won't have social network profiles like ping Apple music will be introduced at Apple's worldwide developers conference kickoff keynote on Monday, June 8th Andrew it's easy to get excited for big new Apple projects, however Social network and Apple have tended to result in disaster and am I crazy to say that this kind of sounds like my space? Ah, I don't think you're crazy at all I of course what the actual version of what it's going to be, you know, we'll have to see but I don't it's not a space that just sounds very exciting for Apple to get into I mean clearly with music and iTunes they were the forerunner and now is streaming has evolved and changed and They want to get into that space. They need to differentiate themselves, but I don't I don't know I just don't I I don't get it I guess I mean I get where in a boardroom This sounds like a neat idea like oh we can interact with Bands and stuff like that that people are already doing on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and To try to create this sort of fourth place that that would take place. I don't And that's not even you know, you look at where social networking these things are going is that you know people are kind of moving away from platforms in general Yeah, so the only thing that I could see that makes this a little bit more appealing is if You have exclusive Albums and tracks that Apple makes these deals with artists that right now We've already seen that Beyonce drops her album on iTunes and all of a sudden it's the biggest thing overnight You've seen maybe Apple's learned the lesson where hey if we force a new you to record on everybody's phone It's a bit of a PR disaster, but if you do has an exclusive on our streaming service Maybe it's a reason for people to subscribe. Yeah, I think they're there certainly can be something in Pushing I mean I I I think creating new ways to create product or define what product is You know you I just watched on a Netflix They have supermench did the documentary chef Gordon is a guy who worked with Alice Cooper and a number of other bands And they talk about back in the day Alice Cooper records and how they would take like that one record that looked like you know I wouldn't you know a desk and you open up the desk and like inside was like you know Women's panties and these other things inside of there. It was a record album But it was this really cool kind of thing that you'd sit there listen to what the music and all that and I certainly think There's opportunities to say okay, how do we help artists create? Different kinds of experiences on the web so it's not just about selling a 99 cent or $1.29 single Well speaking of low-cost music Ardeo has launched a new premium tier allowing listeners to stream music on-demand Ardeo select costs three 99 per month and offers unlimited streaming radio without ads You can stream up to 25 on-demand tracks per day or store them for offline play black playback Plus you can swap out tracks for alternatives But you're still limited to 25 streams or downloads per day The new tier is available for users in the US Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa Other countries will be added in the future. Do you subscribe to any of these streaming services Andrew? I've done Pandora and then you know I don't know if iTunes match quite subscribe counts as that and then with the Amazon unlimited music you get some of that But whenever I hear them announce like a pricing tier when it comes to streaming music I think about whenever I get you know Comcast or Time Warmer sends me the thing that says oh get all this cable for like $30 a month You know for six months and you're like what will the right here? What will be that we know this is a price to get people on board and if you look at the economics of streaming You know there are a lot of people saying this can't last this will not work And so we know there's you know pricing is gonna have to go up or pricing is gonna have to fall down as far as you know The artist get etc. So I don't get you know it to me. It's It's not economics. It's marketing Yeah Well switching from streaming Walmart challenges Amazon with unlimited shipping for $50 a year The service promises 70,000 items at launch and three-day shipping according to a Walmart company spokesman the program will be Invite only initially and will evolve with feedback from early customers Will this be a legitimate competitor to Amazon Prime? We'll pick that apart in the discussion section a little bit later on Initial thoughts Andrew. I think a lot I Got it. I just the one of things we have to think about is how they're gonna compete I just got a box from Amazon, you know, which you get excited like look at this box Like right, you know, yeah, and she remarked that you know the UPS truck is like the adult version of the ice cream truck I open up that would be a That in stranger who said that I open this up and I'm thinking like man, what am I working? There was this big what did I order in? For those of you who are only listening to this via podcast Andrew is opening up a fairly medium-sized Amazon box with a lot of Packaging and he is now revealing Batteries it is one a thin strip of watch battery Decide smaller than a bookmark. This was on my step right before I walked in the door to do the show I'm like perfect visual aid for a podcast Amazon when you break down what they spend on shipping and all that they're constantly trying to figure out how to do that How much they actually lose in that area versus how much they make and that's a larger discussion to see Does Walmart have the stones to try to go head-to-head with them on that and we will dig into it Venture beat is reporting that Google has announced six new apps for its $35 streaming media stick CBS all-access HDTV Fox now FX now Pluto TV and haystack Pluto TV curates over a hundred channels of news music sports web and television shows while haystack presents trending TV news You can get the apps from chromecast.com Slash apps Windows 10 mobiles latest build 1008 Zero, I don't know what the prominent proper nomenclature for that is Add some important updates according to tech crunch The biggest is the first look at the windows store for mobile which will allow Microsoft to deliver Universal office apps plus music movies and TV shows other features include an Xbox app Xbox app a music app and a new camera app as well as a video app. It's a lot of apps That's a lot of apps man. Baby's got apps Konami's big focus moving forward will be mobile and not triple-a games according to a translated interview with the company's new CEO You know what just go ahead and look it up yourself. Hideke Hayakawa there we go Andrew you know Konami's gotten a lot of flack lately. This seems to be something that people are more excited about What what what's your thought on that? I think that you know you're looking at your your when you go through these big huge changes in Video games in and platforms and stuff like that and the revolutionary changes and platforms happens. Maybe every 20 years or so you had the cabinet to the desk council desktop You're just you mean to like you know the the console you hooked up your TV You had PC stuff and then you had the merging of PC and those consoles into what we have in the modern form of Playstations and Xboxes and now as mobile becomes The the the big platform and not just little hand and not handheld, but mobile It's disruptive. It's very disruptive. You know Nintendo finally said hey You know we're gonna actually try to push towards other platforms besides our own You know and here's you know one of the biggest You know Licensing one of the biggest creators of properties there is with Konami And I think that for them to say we're gonna do a focus on mobile because you look at where is the growth Where is the money? Yeah, it's it's not in consoles You know and it's exciting as Oculus might be and some of these other things It's the hand you walk into a restaurant and you look around the table with anybody who's younger than 18 And they've got you know an iPad out there playing something. It's just it's huge. So I think that makes it, you know I think it makes sense So speaking of Nintendo and they're pushed toward mobile if you are excited for Mario themed candy crush knockoffs or Zelda enhanced clash of Clans you'll be able to hold on to your rupees because according to Nintendo's CEO Satoru Iwata the venerable video game Titan won't obsess over trends and avoid quote-unquote imitating popular games as they venture into the mobile space he adds quote I don't think we can realize what we aspire to by simply imitating a past success Formula now this has certainly been the path to profitability When it comes to just reskinning popular games with slightly different variables But Nintendo seems to be relying more on in your original pathways for their IP I think that's a very smart strategy, you know if they can hold up on it But I mean you look at you look at the problems that you know Zynga got into in Rovio and some of these studios The only way they can hold on now and that's in Rovio for spin specifically But is by trying to emulate what other people have done they come out with one hit that they get you know cat You think it humongous success off of right, you know And then all of a sudden they can do IPOs or they can increase the valuation of the companies on that But finding those other hits are really hard and either try to acquire or imitate I think for Nintendo to say hey, we're gonna keep being Nintendo and coming out with fun original things We're not just gonna slap our characters on others title is great because It's all too easy to you know get lost in the shovel And you even have you know really good games that come out that the imitators then start performing better than yeah And so to get into that you know area and you know dozens of imitators will come out there And one of them might strike it better, you know which we saw with like, you know threes getting knocked off Well, you know it certainly is iterative especially on very simple Concept games to to kind of add the wrinkle that makes it all the different especially if you have already Conquered it and you want to continue to have that experience and there's something need to about the idea of just saying you know We're not gonna we're not gonna throw, you know Mario Ironically into back into you know flappy bird, you know that we're not just gonna skin the games that are Nintendo Let's make special Nintendo games. Let's create excitement I think that's one of things that we don't have as much in mobile that we have in consoles because of consoles the life cycle so much Longer releases are big releases are really really really huge It's not so much for mobile unless it's tied into a console release But if you get into like hey, you know we're coming out with you know a new Mario totally for the iPhone That would be I think that would be a big deal Although you know it is Sacrificing something because Nintendo has very powerful in intellectual property if it is good enough to have universal Studios make a theme park out of it then it is good enough to play as a clash of can clash of clan skin But I think it is it's a good move all we saw it You know Star Wars and Disney have gone through that where they found out that sometimes put in their name on a lot of things Didn't help and they went back pulled back from licensing agreements. Yeah The New York Times reports that Reddit announced an update to its site-wide policies today that explicitly prohibits Harassments against users as of today users who view or experience harassment will be able to email reddit moderators Who can remove content and ban offenders from the site reddit defines harassment as quote continued actions Unquote that would make somebody quote conclude that reddit is not a safe platform To express their ideas and quote the company said the number one reason reddit users do not recommend the site to others Is to avoid exposing friends to hate and offensive content This seems to be a Growing trend with platforms specifically Twitter made a big point about this over the last month or so to say you want to know What growth is great? We love growth However now we need to take care of the housework a little bit when it comes to harassment Is this reddit growing up or is reddit always just going to be kind of assess Well, I mean it it it has a choice it you know it can look at itself and say okay. Do we want to? It is an amazing resource an amazing resource. You know they ask me anything's on reddit I think are just one of the most back, you know awesome social experiments There is and great for discovering things the communities there are great You know we're using it here, and they're looking at it saying okay. Do we want to be a? Big social platform like Facebook and other places or do we want to be? you know 4chan and I think that for reddit, you know they they wisely one who not become what 4chan is and you know You lose out on something when you have that sort of lawless sort of nature, and they want to move towards embrace it the problem is just you know Policing this stuff is actually not that hard when you come when you realize that what you need you get a few people a few tiny tiny Tiny minority people make it bad for everybody else and the easiest way to deal with that is you Make them you have to make them real people and make it hard to have anonymous accounts The way you do that is you have like credit card sign-ups Yeah, but nobody wants to do that because once they do that They lose a tremendous number of you know the overall size of people nobody wants to participate in more You know and I think that that's the challenge is that if you want to make it super easy to create an account You're gonna make it super easy to create an abusive account, so yeah, they'll be able to ban users They'll keep popping up like whack-a-mole Yeah, the question is because I feel like reddit is still smarting from some of the the fappening Stuff that went on a few months ago And then the the curiosity for me is how or if this would have affected that as it mushroom Well, you know the fappening gets into this sort of weird area where You know you compare that to the Sony leaks, you know Which granted, you know having your nude photographs, you know put out there is Extremely embarrassing and invasive etc. And all that but for many people so is having private emails Complaint grievances and things like that doing that and the Sony reaction the Sony leaks was well This is journalism, you know this other thing isn't yet. You get into this sort of weird murky area And I'm not for Distributing these kinds of photographs against anybody's will maybe they're very very clear But you're gonna find that like you know describing it is where somebody feels harassed or wherever they did that that gets It's gonna get tricky and even then like you know great.  Yeah We're two more pop-up in its place and and also you did the tendency for those people is they then make it their mission to Go after it, you know, they get even more, you know energized So it turns out thieves can bypass Apple watch pass codes and pair a stolen watch to their own phone The Verge has compiled a bunch of reporting from 9 to 5 Mac and I download blog that concluded the Apple watch was Incredibly easy to steal because it's very easy to reset an Apple watch if you forget the password Just hold the side button until the menu appears with three options power off power reserve and lock device Then for such that screen to unlock a hidden option to erase all content and settings The watch has to be connected to its charger to activate the erase function Which is exactly what a thief would do the moment here. She stole your Apple watch time for an activation lock update Perhaps Andrew you are an Apple watch user. Do you feel that your new bobble is insecure? I I mean, yeah, it's insecure and that if so many steals that they wipe it. I'm not gonna lose my information just my watch And you know putting those sort of restrictive measures on iPhones has cut down an iPhone theft but it hasn't eliminated it because they're still useful for materials and parts and other things etc I Yeah, I think obviously I think this should be addressed. I'm every one of these has its own unique You know ID device number that they can then you know make these things more secure. So I'm not panicked. I think it'll probably be addressed in the grand heat map of of hacks that make or Exploits that kind of make pop culture news or pop tech culture news and break out of sort of the hackosphere I think this is more legitimate than let's say 3d printing somebody's thumb so you can use the touch ID feature or something I mean, but well, but the difference here is that if I You know with so many 3d prints your thumb and user touch it They have access to information here. They have your watch they it's a read its functions like a brand new watch We're talking about the loss of the use of the thing and not In terms of a likelihood that that's practical I you know I'm the idea that somebody could take something from me and get utility out of it is not a novel notion That's the way things always have a bit and and obviously there's technology to make that in probably in the case of the Apple Watch You know not happen. I think that'll you know, I'm not I'm sure I'm pretty sure Apple's probably on it BizTech Africa reports that Safari comm a Kenyan mobile network opera a mobile network operator has announced the launch launch of The big box a set top device that allows subscribers to watch TV and share broadband connectivity The device will connect to Safari comms 3g and 4g network and offer subscribers Access to several high-def TV channels as well as on-demand video content The device also serves as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 users Subscribers have the option of several plans based on their needs This is cool, I mean you just you look at how the emergence of of Telecommunications in Africa and you look at moving from when I mean you have places there that the economies are often based on buying You know minutes are now, you know, you know band width You know like in chunks on their phones to now that you're getting a company to go in there and put a streaming box It works over wireless networks and does that and they think they can make it economically feasible You know for you to sit there and watch Daredevil in Botswana, you know over a streaming thing. That's pretty awesome That's pretty cool. You know, I hope I hope something like this works I hope something like that successful and if it's there works there like great. Let's bring that over here Africa has been And has I think for the last decade and a half been a an extraordinarily interesting place to watch especially in terms of How much they rely on mobile, you know just just a fascinating incubator Recode is reporting that Sharp secured a 1.9 billion dollar bailout under the deal main leaders Mizuro Bank and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ will inject the combined 200 billion yen that is 1.7 billion dollars in a debt for equity swap in return for the funding Which will be used to repay debt and finance investments Sharp will also sell its headquarters and said it might seek a partnership for its TV business in North America and 5,000 job cuts in its global workforce Sharp posted an annual loss of 222 billion yen. This is Sharp's second bank-led rescue in three years yeesh Sharp was one of those companies that it was one of these big international conglomerates in a hundred-year-old company that was getting into so many different areas and LCD panels I think became kind of a big part of their market And you see the decline of these things you see that the growth and then you see these things are not they're not forever and Now you know you had I remember was a big deal when they made the light There was like the last TV that was ever made in the United States And then all of a sudden we never nobody made TVs here anymore because it wasn't economical and manufacturing to move to Japan and then manufacturing moved from there to China in Korea and as these things become More commodities and it comes harder and harder to make a profit from that. You know your your fortunes are going to rise and fall Without you know a lot of hope for stability Low margin goods keep that in mind when we get to our our big discussion with Amazon In gadget reports that the Samsung wallet will stop taking purchases on June 30th in anticipation of Samsung pay Which is scheduled to arrive in September any reservation and tickets in wallet will still be valid through partner apps But Cubans will no longer be available and Now for some news from you if you'd like to head on over to our reddit that is reddit comm slash r slash daily tech news show You can submit everything that you would like and listen We use especially on a day like today when we're hunting for stories because the great man Tom married is not here for us We rely on the reddit even more than ever Star Fury Zeta wanted to make sure that we saw the US House of Representatives voted 338 to 88 for the US freedom act which regrets the NSA bulk collection of phone records The vote heads to the Senate with support from the White House intelligence agency leaders and us federal appears appeals court However, the Senate leadership wants to extend the existing language of the Patriot Act through 2020 I Yeah, I mean great. I just think whenever you build a machine that wants to have that kind of power or Capabilities, you know, it's it doesn't quite go away that way And I'm all for that and I hope through we're persistent in protecting our Privacy but yeah skeptical. We'll see yeah, I mean, you know, whenever you build a Gigantic bulk collection agency everything looks like a relevant piece of data no matter how much you try and it's the people who are like Yeah, we passed this thing because we didn't really think it through and there are people warning us about the unintended consequences It would be obvious and we ignored it. No, no, no, no, no, no we now we've got this under control And SP Sheridan sent us the verge report that the Wolfram search tool can now identify any item in an Uploaded picture according to the creator Stephen Wolfram quote it won't always get it right, but most of the time I think it does remarkably well in the warm language image identification project was fed quote a few tens of Millions of images to learn including tricky ones an image of a cat in a spacesuit a sloth and a party hat and Chewbacca himself when given an image of Tom Merritt the image identifier Pronounced that he is indeed a person. I played with this yesterday, and it is really good. It was very very good I only had you know a few wild misses like I put a chimpanzee feeding a tiger and said that it was a sleeping bag Which maybe it is now. I don't know it was very very good and it's interesting the Wolfram alpha a Platform is basically this big computational engine where we've talked about this before on weird things a long time ago Where? Google wants to create searched Steven Wolfram. This is the guy that create Mathematica Brilliant as a genius is creating this computational platform So try to try to understand information and you can ask it questions You can go there, you know how far away as Mars right now It'll calculate that and to put an image processing as part of the API that you could build Technologies that would then have this is really cool And it's kind of scary because now you could put give it a photo and say we're all the soft targets And it could draw circles around people something you know your camera can do on your phone But it is it's interesting it's very exciting and you look at where the technology is going for self-driving cars And how much being able to figure out what you're looking at is super important This was considered a trivial problem 40 years ago in AI a summer problem, and they realized is much much more complex And that does it for the headlines Now to get into our discussion Andrew we have What I view to be Two massive entities that I think are coming ever closer to getting into kind of an open Firefight let's let's let's take a look at Walmart's first just the news here Walmart is going to do an invite only Delivery service very similar to Amazon Prime It'll do three-day delivery as opposed to two and we'll have seven million products available at launch The this comes on the heel of the heels of a October 2014 quote from the CEO of Walmart Outlining growth strategies at their annual meeting for the investment community He said quote there's a growing consensus that the future of retail is not just in store and not just online The winners in retail will be those that can put them together and frankly we think we're already doing the harder part Locations matter because convenience matters We have the stores the associates and the experience in the physical world that others will need to build he went on Specifically we will moderate the growth of investments in stores and increase our investments in E-commerce which seems to make the point that You know especially now that we know one of the projects that they are launching out on this that this is more and more Of a priority, so let me make this plane Is this a threat to Amazon?  And create billions of dollars Etc. One of the things that when you look at Amazon's stock valuation It's ridiculous compared to the amount of profits they have and the the belief is that Amazon is building towards this bigger future and is able to keep itself going but is building to this bigger future and Yeah, they'll ship this to you right now and not make any money But maybe five years down the road they will and or they're just making sure that I'm a good customer And then I'll keep going to them to other things that where they will make money. I don't know Walmart is in the position to lose money like that Well, so there's my question because Walmart has is is about The only people who are probably more ruthless with price negotiations than a company like Amazon does considering their scale Does a price war between these two companies? Effectively hurt both of them considering that their margins for either of them aren't necessarily great like how much lower can they go? Yeah, and it's it's not so much trying to compete in pricing, you know, they're looking at and trying to compete in like delivery and I If you order in some areas Amazon gets it to you that day and I can order stuff and I get packages on Sunday now They don't even think about it, which is just sort of a weird idea in yeah Amazon hires people driving their own cars to do that And as you look at companies like uber look getting into delivery and stuff. I Don't know that Walmart is involved enough in there, you know, they're trying to get to where Amazon was 10 years ago Amazon's trying Amazon's, you know, half seriously half not whatever making drones and things like that and Walmart's trying to get into a market that is already going away and Amazon's trying to before and as far as yeah Walmart can certainly get great prices on stuff And you know you saw the way that you know why they were resistant towards credit card companies and Apple pay in some ways because They hate that losing that 3% because that means a lot to them I just think that you look at Walmart had a great opportunity early on in Online when they tried their you know their their Netflix competitor and yeah was it was riddled with problems It wasn't profitable But it probably would have been a very good idea for them to have kept doing that because when I go to Walmart comm Like I don't know if I have an account. I think I may bought some things from them But it's not I use it so infrequently That You know I don't wear you know one of things that Apple talks about which was really smart is what their iTunes They would talk about how many credit cards they have on file, you know We had 20 million hundred million You know yeah Gazillion credit cards on file and what that meant for Apple was you could go to iTunes and press one button And we can send you something you didn't have to go through and fill out your address fill out all this other stuff And it's gonna be you know You know it's it's we like Walmart because I can just run across well not in LA But you can just go down the street there it is grab it and be done with it the idea of Walmart Well now we can get it to you in three days How is this better than Amazon? You're charging me 50 bucks less a year great? What kind of streaming movies am I getting you know what are all these other perks that I'm getting? I haven't heard anything about Walmart making studio deals for content The only thought though is like let's say if you are within 30 minutes of a Walmart that you can get Within three hours delivery if now all of a sudden they leverage some of their physical locations to make this more of a Instant situation. I mean they made a point that convenience is their key. Okay That's one of those things that sounds kind of neat on paper conception like hey, we have a Walmart store. We have products You have a house Look at what it cost to get a pizza delivered They deliver somebody delivers a pizza your house and they now charge a service charge for the pizza delivery And you're paying another four or five bucks on top of that and then you're expected to tip the person who brings this thing to you Okay, it is Expensive to do local delivery local delivery Nobody has been able to make a big impact and local delivery outside of delivering pizzas and for the idea that you know Amazon's gonna have a service where they is are they gonna do that with $3 batteries?  It's great if everything's a $500 camera, but most things aren't are they gonna do it for spatulas? And they're gonna have to have minimums to say oh, you know $50 or whatever and all of a sudden you start getting into This structuring and assuming that they can do this effectively I don't have you've ever been to Walmart and talk to some of the people there who worked there late at night, but You know you're on your own Well, we would like to hear what you guys think about everything a feedback at daily tech news show dot com One was Alex Hanna aka tinvec. He wrote in howdy Justin Andrew Jenny Roger and crew to two numerous dimension I've got a pic for you. It's a website. It's been around for over a year But arguably has increased in usefulness over time have I been pwned a dot com that is a HAV e I be E E N P W N E D dot com in case you're a noob It is very it's a very simple site that does one very helpful thing It scans through your known data breaches for email or username that you enter Why is this helpful as the saying goes knowing is half the battle if you see that your information has been compromised on a website You can change your password or take other similar actions to Rescure your information the site has also had some good info on large data breaches that have been in the news If you want your pants scared off, I hope this helps people to be more secure. Thank you very very much tinvec I have a question If I wanted it to attach IP addresses to names of People because I wanted I was maybe I had a legitimate, you know tracking company that was making You know adware or whatever or I wanted to do pop-ups and all that and I wanted to know the names of the people doing that I would create a site where people would go in and enter their name on their computer And then I would know this and I'm sure this is legitimate, but I would be even suspicious of something like this Well, all right, so there we go always never never don't trust anybody But but check it out. That was our pick of the day. I'm just I'm just saying I Again again my point here is is if this was done by You know somebody with some reputation at stake I would be a little bit more trusting that I just think that you need Go here and type in your email or your username and all of a sudden they have that attached to an IP address I'm sure it's legitimate, but but it's like when I would get you know You know Bank of America used to send these sort of warnings like legitimate warnings about like, you know Oh here, you know, you need you know create a new password or do this thing or whatever and It was very easy to have done man in the middle of tax very easy to do. They don't do that anymore, but yeah No listen, it's a good point messages Let's go ahead and read one here this one or sorry See where this comes from yesterday Tom and Scott discussed the announcement of the new ultra blue way blue ray format which supports 4k video Joshua Gardner wrote in about the unspecified audio format and they mentioned just an FYI The reason the audio format is unspecified is because there is an audio war going on Dolby is fighting for Dolby at most Which features the traditional seven speakers setup plus a subwoofer But also adds two speakers in the ceiling for additional height Dolby has stated this sound format is Expandable to as many speakers as you wish Although they have stated that most audio will be mastered to support the maximum of 12 speakers plus a subwoofer Discrete channels requiring the receiver to create additional audio channels for anything over the 12 channels DTS has yet to announce a sound format But should very soon one of the primary differences between DTS and Dolby digital is DTS uses uncompressed audio which consumes more disk disk space Versus Dolby digital which sacrifices a fraction of audio quality and frequency response both on the upper and lower end To use about one quarter of the required space It should be noted that most people do not have high enough end equipment to hear the difference Again feedback at daily tech news show if you would like to send in either feedback on stories or a pick Andrew Thank you so much for helping out.

Good job gentlemen Roger loved it so much it crashed his chrome It did it did that's not too hot man. I'll tell you what that was it a lot of reading I I somehow neglected didn't take count the headlines because I kept just seeing it in the one view I didn't realize we had 12 Yeah, how many do you normally have like nine They I kept not seeing them all in the same view until I was like wow We're still in headlines and I We did a good job Justin. You did a great job. It was a great job. There was a lot of news Jenny Let's say good. Let's give them reason to all right. Okay. Yeah only good Yeah, I'll tell you what man a lot of words That's that Tom Merritt man. It's got a hell of a job You know the amazing thing I've learned from watching Tom Merritt and you do these kind of shows And it's a very good skill that that I I try to want to emulate I think we could all is you can get a discussion going and somebody can make a point that you disagree with And you can let them have the word and they go all right next topic Yeah, you know That's I mean it really is The thing that I've always loved the most about Tom's work and really has gotten me obsessed with his his shows Including this one is that dude plays point guard better than anybody in podcasting like the The ability to kind of not only do what is normally him and guest shows But when it's more panel shows, which we're going to get more and more into a daily tech news show now that we have all the contributors It's really really hard to When when you are a a pundit, you know and you were used to just saying like oh take take thing thing Let me keep the conversation going. It's almost unnatural to say No next like let me shut down the like the take thing what Tom's really good at is making The two second point the addendum point and then kind of moving it into the the other The other frame of reference so I've been I've been trying to do that on weird things too where you know Because Mike Mayan's dick is like no you're wrong and I'll prove to you. I'm worried, you know And it's like all right. It's gonna go backwards. Let me let somebody say it and then go all right Well, let's go to this now Yeah, well because you know there's always time and that's that's the the funny thing about it is that it always makes for more time It makes for a better quicker show and it makes for more time So it's like you're always just able to even get to more and talk about more in more substantive ways if everybody's If the length of everybody's point is almost just a little shorter, you know, just it makes more room for everything Um, well, thank you guys so much for hanging out and not just throwing fruit at me. I and and I Do appreciate it show titles Yes I'm level-ating. So this is a good time. I realize why Tom sometimes has a three second delay in the post-show is because he's actually Doing a whole bunch of complicated things that are really hard Okay show titles The Number one WTNS that that would be weird things news show For me who watches the stolen watches Yeah, that one that one's very very good by the way applause to everybody who is not making a show without merit the number one suggested topic That shows growth That after a decade of Tom doing these shows and eventually taking a vacation That that's not the number one. So thank you very much for that I am a fan of Oh, hey, I think from from Tom on your Apple watch. No, I got it on black. Oh Justin did Tom send you a congratulations on your Apple watch like listen. Come on It's just picking on the kid who wears a helmet to school Did you get one on your watch did you get did you get it? Stop it Getting I should be getting a notice any day now because they've apparently started chipping the model I ordered finally. I Yeah, I'm a fan of Walmart Prime Walmart Prime is good Biocow makes a point to say jury I'm not sure if Andrew is in chat, but tell him Tim Vex pick hashes your submission in the browser before sending it in Yes, I know it can still look up the username or email, but it is a legit site vetted by Steve Gibson of security now And also it's run by a trust a guy who's very trusted in the security or a Troy Hunt. I think his name is So I believe all of these things. I also believe that that I guess like the the When we get into my friend says they're trusted and And you come in from the critical thinking area. Well, how do I know, you know, it's that's the thing Oh, and again, I believe this. I think it's legit I think we look it up totally believe that but we get into many of these problems arise because I got an email that says It's from Facebook and Facebook says I need to do that. Well, Facebook's trusted. I trust Facebook Well, no, it didn't really come from Facebook, you know, that's that that's where these problems arise from is because We use reputation that we don't quite know are we here second-hand second-hand reputation or whatever, but again I think it's totally legit. I think it's totally legit. It's but it's just sort of to me It's kind of you know, well, I would I would have it hosted by a You know Yeah, I think it's really good to know not just to plug your username into some annual thing That's the takeaway. Well, yeah, I think in the spirit of the site It's a good thing to think about like the whole point isn't like oh, here's the panacea for for security Right, it's to be more knowledgeable about it So whether or not you want to use it based on the fact that you don't feel that it's a secure portal If that's what you believe then that's cool, you know, then that's I think that that's kind of what they're going for then you are then you are For the record, I am Confident enough that it's secure that I would put my own name in there my own information there I'll make that very clear But I just remember when I first saw this pop up a few weeks ago or one of these other ones like hey Go see and I went to go. I'm like, oh my well. I don't know anything about this By the way, I now I'm ashamed of all of you who have made the show without merit the number one vote getter on Just how about the show with Justin And it's going to take me a little while to edit because I actually have to add in a couple things Post show so you can all talk as long as you want But don't wait for it all to be done because it'll take a little bit. That is perfectly fine. I actually need to get to a Few other things but but thank you guys so much for your Watching me clawed my way through an otherwise seamless pro process if Yeah, I wish I could be here tomorrow, but I know you guys you guys do rock and roll, huh? This was choice. It'll be fun. I Know I'm stopping it. Bye


just a quick video to show you some more details about this Marvel Premiere number nine page one original art from my collection here just give you a good close-up sweep of it there's a great deal of whiteout on this page looks to me like it was used by the anchor all along Dr. Strange is caped there and especially on his face I think you can see it there you can see some of the letterers blue pencil marks there I don't know what that is it looks like it was added later there's also some whiteout along the credits along the bottom of the page the number nine there and the comma were corrected with a hand ink and take a look at some of the inking on the background there you can see some of the pencil work there under the inking there's some more white out there a ton of detail in this page looking on the back of it I bought this directly from Frank Brunner himself he taped an onion skin to the back of it and included a letter directly to me dated October of 1999 I don't believe this adds to the value of the page but it does show provenance apparently I'm after Frank Brunner I'm only the second owner there's the Marvel copyright stamp was dated 1984 for some reason then there's a comics code stamp dated 1973 February of 1973 and a little bit of ink pen testing there but there it is Marvel premiere number nine page one


Why does it seem like men over 40 seem less like they're likely to commit? I think that's a question worth exploring and diving deeper into how a man actually shows his level of commitment and relationship and we'll get into those seven sides in a moment. The reality is these days folks we have to address the elephant in the room is that the vast majority of human beings in interpersonal relationships are rather dysfunctional. Their emotional maturity, their relationship skills are weak. Their EQ or emotional quotient is rather weak. I think it's important to address that. I think also the delusion that most people are emotionally mature and have good relationship skills. So isn't it kind of a conundrum is that there's this belief that people are good at it and at the same time they're terrible at it. Everybody thinks that they're the exception.  The vast majority of human beings have poor relationship skills and weak emotional maturity. That doesn't mean they're not capable of it. It just means that they're not good at it. The reality is especially in romantic relationships people are not good at it. How do we know this? What's the evidence? Well the evidence is here in the United States we have a 50% divorce rate for first marriages. And if you get married a second or third time it's 60 to 75% of divorce rate. What that means is the vast majority of people haven't figured out how to have a juicy, delicious, healthy, happy relationship. Think about that. The vast majority of human beings have not. And there's a couple of causes for this. Now one of the primary causes is childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas that go unhealed. This is true for men and women alike. For those folks that haven't healed from their childhood wounds or adult traumas. And one of the most significant adult traumas is divorce. And roughly about 75% of singles who are over 45 years are divorced. So why I'm differentiating between men over 40 versus those men in their 20s and 30s. The reality is when you turn 21 years old let's say here in the United States. By your 22nd birthday you're simply just a one year old adult. That's right a one year old adult. Think about it. When the first couple years of since birth you're literally predominantly taken care of by another human being. Just even going to the bathroom. Well not going to the bathroom but cleaning up your poop requires someone else to be involved in the process. And a person doesn't really start to begin to know who they are until maybe age 13, 14 or 15. And what happened prior to that age can indicate how that person shows up as an adult. And what I mean is did they have wounds? Did they have their traumas? So okay now fast forward. You're in your 20s and 30s because I want to differentiate the 40 year old group versus the 20 or 30 year old group. Most of your child and wounds and traumas don't really bubble up until the surface until you hit 40. This is why many of you heard the term midlife crisis.  That's what I think midlife crisis is. So we get to those men in their 40s. If 75% of people are divorced. Remember I said childhood wounds and traumas. Well this is an adult trauma. A divorce is a very traumatic event. And remember I said healed. The differentiating factor is for emotional maturity is have you healed from your childhood wounds and traumas. And in addition have you developed any good skills, relationship skills. One of the primary relationship skills to be able to master is conflict resolution. In addition not operating from a place of being right. You know there's a saying amongst my circle of friends would you rather be right or would you rather be happy. Well a significant percentage of the population in romantic relationships would rather be right than happy. Their point of view is the only point of view. And until someone has done some deep inner work. This is why I continually recommend the book. The Hoffman process.  Okay this is a deep dive into healing child and wounds and traumas. And it is worth investing in yourself because just because you meet the right man doesn't mean you're the right woman. Just because you're the right woman doesn't mean you're going to meet the right man. However it's important to recognize that it starts the relationship readiness flow chart starts with being your best self. Okay both physically and emotionally. Okay so I'm going to dive into those seven signs. He's most likely to commit to you but really quickly I think it's important to discuss the five stages of relationships. That's right the five stages of relationships. And I'm going to read them off really quickly I have my notes. It's this every couple goes through this. Well they go through some of these stages I should say the honeymoon stage. The doubt denial stage. The disillusionment stage. The decision stage. And then lastly the commitment stage. Okay so I want to start off with the honeymoon stage. This is where everybody believes the minute you have this intense chemistry for one another it equals relationship success. But we've learned though or at least what I'm teaching what I've learned is that chemistry attraction is just merely the tip of the iceberg. Below the waterline is compatibility. Do you share the same values? Are your lifestyles blendable? This is for the over 40 crowd and more importantly is this person emotionally mature enough to be in relationship? And if you don't know how to pick people like that if you need some support of learning how to vet for emotional maturity how to vet for compatibility. How to screen these people how to filter both filter in and filter out then check out a discovery. There's a link right here to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with the coaches right for you. There's a link below as well. Why am I sharing this with you?  Jonathan I met a great guy. Jonathan I met a great guy. Jonathan I met a great guy and they know the difference which we're going to talk about in a moment as well. So the honeymoon stage again it's that oftentimes luster limerence stage. This is where sometimes love bombing happens. This is a lot of times where they go oh my god you're the most amazing woman.  I could see myself being married to you. Folks I've said it before doesn't make me a bad guy. It's just when you're enthusiastic when you're excited about a woman you feel this sense of euphoria because dopamine is being released from your brain into your body saying I feel good with this person. But we talked about the honeymoon stage well the reality is is that might last for a very short period of time and what's next is the doubt the doubt or denial phase because this is where you actually a man or woman leans into is this person really right for me instead of doing it beforehand they do it after this fact. And what happens for a lot of men is they go oh my gosh this person isn't right for me. I'm not feeling this love I thought I was feeling. Now some men ghost but you know what other men do and women do this as well. They do what's called fizzling fizzling and I wrote this down in incremental less effort incremental less effort. This is called fizzling. So you've got this great six weeks you know with this guy or three months with the guy and all of a sudden things start to fizzle. His communication is less his text message is less. He's not asking to see you as much. He seems to be busy busy seems to be the easy out for men and women particularly men. I'm busy busy busy all of a sudden he's busy. I can't make it this weekend I can't see you this weekend. He fizzles this out fizzles the relationship out. In some ways that's more toxic than ghosting at least ghosting is boom I'm done with you. I've moved on I'm not going to contact you again as brutal as that is. I wonder if it's worse to fizzle someone out.  Please post a comment below please write a comment in the chat box. How did that feel. You know oftentimes say go dating triggers the number one emotional health issue we're all feeling is I'm not good enough I'm not lovable and I'm not likeable. Think about that and dating triggers this relationships triggers this like nobody's business. Excuse my slurping.   By the way one of the reasons why I wrote my book what the heck is self love anyway a journey of personal development self health and spiritual work by the way there's a link below to get a copy of my book. Reason why I wrote my book is because of that place of I'm not good enough I'm not lovable I'm not likeable. Is the one of the most critical places within a person's life to establish their their sovereignty their self worth their self esteem and more importantly their self respect. So when you see a man is fizzling you call him out on his behavior. And the minute you by the way you all know I'm going to suspect you all know when you start to see a shift in behavior. I did a woman some years back for I liked her at first. We had dated for about three weeks but something you know it just wasn't clicking it just wasn't feeling and we saw each other a bunch of times and because you lived right up the street. And something clicked where I just not feeling it I couldn't put my finger as to why this was happening. And she noticed a shift in my behavior quickly. And she reached out and said I noticed you're not reaching out as much as something up. And I owned it. I owned it. I said you know what I'm just not feeling what I thought I would be feeling at this point. She goes it sounds like it isn't going to work and I'm like well I don't know what to do. Yeah maybe you know and this and that's what happened. Now some men might drag it out but you'll know the difference between men dragging it out because they make excuses instead of actually leaning into that feeling that's what emotional maturity is. Okay the next stage the disillusionment stage this is where problems become more obvious. That's kind of the winter phase I was watching a documentary on David Foster he's the record producer who's put you know so many stars on the map like Whitney Houston and so many others I can't think of them right now. But he has a habit the minute there's friction in the relationship he get divorced by the way this guy I think has been married like 20 times I'm being tongue in cheek kidding here but he get married minute there's friction he bail. He had abandonment in his life he had childhood wounds that went on on on resolved unhealed.  But true inner work is that book is highlighted and pages are bent versus it's just sitting there on open how many people invest in some sort of self help but they do it so cursory that they don't actually heal from the work. I want to share with you something I'm constantly reevaluating my own emotional baseline and I do it with my partner there's a picture of my sweetheart there. I'd say every day I do that because I have some significant wounds in childhood. That creates a very anxious behavior in me makes me not trust love and certainly after losing my son. Right there that's my 19 year old son who passed away Connor. There's this hole inside of me because and it feels like an abandonment to love someone and then have them be gone. That's a deep wound within me and I'm still working on healing that though I'm choosing to grieve with love. Okay the fourth stage and I want to get moving on so you've gone through the disillusion that's the decision making stage. Do you end the relationship do you know do nothing and be miserable or do you stay and try to fix it and that's the fifth stage is actually working on your relationship together that's a co creative relationship. Those are the five stages so now we're going to lean into those seven great signs he's ready to commit to I want to blow through these really quickly because I felt like I got a baseline for you. Those seven sign he makes time for you and keeps in touch with you that's rather obvious. You know I and by the way it's not text messaging. He actually makes a telephone call and he actually makes time to physically see you on a regular basis but it seems to me the most healthy successful relationships are the one where they see each other significantly. Doing shared activities hobbies mutual interest where they're really developing the friendship. Number two his actions matches words. You know that's a sign of integrity. You know if you haven't read the book before agreements highly recommend reading the four agreements for yourself. This is where actions match one's words along amongst other things. Number three he's transparent about his past whether we like it or not our past is a clue to how someone is going to operate in the future. And it's rather I think critically important to get a baseline of someone's emotional maturity to have healthy discussions about our past relationships and experiences. And in some ways if you can even laugh about them and what I don't mean to laugh in a. In a disingenuous way I just simply mean to go wow look at all these trials and tribulations I went to to get to this place in my life and I sometimes laugh at it merely to say wow why wasn't I taught this stuff sooner. Back to my private coaching I hear this all the time. Jonathan why didn't they teach me this in school why didn't my parents teach me this why didn't I learn this before I married the wrong guy. That's because everything we've learned about relationships is wrong. That's the reality of it. Everything we've learned about relationships is mostly wrong.  He asked for help he asked for your opinion. He even does housework you know it's funny in my relationship my partner again there's a picture of Marie right behind me with the Buddha right there. She was in India we were just talking about that last night. You know she like I was a bachelor I could go days with the stuff in the kitchen sink. You know I wasn't so particular I did make my bed every morning but I wasn't as particular when I live by myself and now with a partner. She likes to wake up to a clean kitchen. And you know what I'm okay with that. I didn't get into a power struggle with her it demonstrates just simply doing the act of keep you know being engaged in your relationship. And she asked for that that demonstrates a sign of commitment when people scoff at your desires. They scoff at your desires of actually living in a better home as an example. That's a sign of relationship weakness number five he asked to meet your family and friends.  It certainly means that you're moving in the right direction. He's protective of you and not just in the physical sense he's protective of you and the emotional sense folks. Many of you know that the most important aspect of relationship is trust and trust isn't just about fidelity trust is does this person care about my feelings as much as I care about my own. Does this person have my best interest at heart. That is a true protector in a relationship not just in the physical realm but also in the emotional realm and I don't mean avoiding conflict as a way to protect. Well I didn't want to hurt you so I didn't want to tell you I was meeting my ex-girlfriend for coffee. That's not protecting a real protect if you were if someone was going to meet their ex for coffee for whatever reason. A healthy person if they really wanted to protect your emotions would simply share that this is going to happen. This is the boundary I'm going to set around this and I will follow up with you immediately when I've wrapped up and there's probably some sort of significant reason why when they're secretive. That's that might be to protect you while I didn't want to hurt you. I think most men have adopted the philosophy it's easier to get forgiveness than permission because anyone ever had that happen it's easier to get forgiveness than permission. Being protective means opening up to the emotional aspects of life and being emotionally protective of you in the sense of being fully transparent with you. And lastly he understands that relationships are about the future versus living in the moment seems like these days every guy wants to just let's just live in the moment let's just have fun let's just live in the moment. Listen the minute two people engage in regular sex together that is a relationship but more importantly is it a casual relationship. Is it what I call a relationship it's a friends with benefit relationship but you just don't know about it or is there a serious conversation and dialogue about how to take this to a future level. I think one of the benefits of being in a long distance relationship is we quickly made a decision that if we wanted this to work we'd have to move in together we made a big commitment to one other. Listen, could have that blown up in our face. Papsa effin Lutley that could have blown up in our face. I think though, because we had done so much personal development self help and spiritual work. Since we did a lot of healing from our past and we unpacked all those things very early on when we did radical honesty lay our cards on the table and establish the rules of engagement. It probably it certainly amplified our relationship and I'm grateful now that coming up on a year we still get long grade haven't had any major fights and because I think we did. I can only say this look we met through a dating app dating site. I practice what I preach and I use the tools in my private coaching that many of you have already experienced a juicy delicious happy relationship.

If you have a question for me write the word question then post the question thereafter or you can purchase a super sticker super chat. All the monies from a super sticker super chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son Connor Asley who I mentioned earlier. He's my son who passed away a few years ago and his honor I donate to causes like the Hoffman process and insight Institute. And if you're watching the replay there's a super thanks button as well. All right, if you have a question for me post the question there write the word question posted thereafter so it'll be easier for me to find Karen did right. He says he wants forever no calls yet he wants to chat for a while before we talk two and a half months. You know folks listen. It seems these days people accept crumbs. They accept because they believe that they're listen. When you've created a belief about someone you have yet to meet you have yet to speak to that and you've created some sort of story around this. That's delusional thinking in my opinion. The reality is this at least the way I see it. Until two people meet it isn't real. It isn't real. And until you spend regular time together it isn't real. It's important to now I understand by the way I scratch because I there's dust in the air. I recognize that there isn't important because we're meeting total strangers is important to do some sort of vetting ahead of time to do some you know see if you share the same values and what not. Dang it a lot of dust. So it's important to do that I get that to build some familiarity at the same time you got to meet and then explore it from that place. At least that's my invitation for you. All right. Let's go to Suzanne who has a question question in long distance relationship. I'm talking seven hours driving should the man come to the woman first or should you meet halfway. Thanks for all you do. You know that's a tricky one because I wouldn't want to drive drive that long and just spend one day with a person so I there's a couple options you can meet halfway. Okay that's an option. You can have you can go to him I don't recommend that he can come to you but I if he comes to you then I'd suggest that he gets a hotel room and you spend one or two days together I certainly would take sex off the table. For that first meet but then ultimately the real question is how are you going to is your how do you is this a relationship where your lifestyles can actually blend with one another.  I would say one option is to meet halfway but then again you know I'd get a hotel room and maybe you know and I've done that before I've had one woman lived in Colorado and I live in Los Angeles I mean we met in Las Vegas. Boy that turned into an absolute fiasco. Oh my God. I know I listen you are taking a big risk sometimes when you don't do a good job vetting when you don't do when you don't do FaceTime conversations by the way I highly recommend zoom or FaceTime conversations with anyone long distance or at least be involved in their Facebook page at least get some sort of social medium background on them. And before you meet but those are just my quick thoughts on that so thank you so much for that question Suzanne Vanessa right question. We've been seeing each other for months many ups and downs he has social anxiety and every event is an issue and he doesn't go with also we have not spoken about the future. Well Vanessa that's not oh here we go. She goes on to say he lives an hour away we both make effort to stay over at each other. Well you don't really have a question that I guess the real question I asked for you. How do you feel about this relationship. Your feelings are your barometer. If it feels uneasy are you capable of having deeper conversations with this person about the uneasiness in the relationship. You know this is really important stuff by the way if you haven't read the book, making your second marriage work making your second marriage work. That's again my my audience is predominantly midlife what I love about this book is a matter of fact chapter one chapter one. Avoiding the same mistakes what's the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results chapter two. Conscious commitment. That's this is really an important chapter to learn what is conscious commitment. Just like in the case of my relationship we had a conscious conversation to talk about how we would make this relationship work. This is an intentional way of approaching relationships instead of the passive way many of you operating where you just sit back in your feminine energy and just hope the man will lead. Listen most men at midlife are winging it. They're winging it they're clueless.  But by 40 when you go through divorce commitment is a very convoluted question for many people. Because they haven't resided themselves to the fact that they either want to live with someone or they want to get married. And if you don't have that in your deep rooted consciousness the idea of commitment might just simply be monogamy and exclusivity without any of the built deep building the the the building blocks for deep trust. This is something again I work with my clients with on. Okay. All right so you didn't have a question but that was my quick thoughts on that. Natalie wrote. It seems most men are flaky.  Even if initially they say they're looking for a life partner or or they just want friendship because they want to work on themselves. What do you think about those that are working on themselves or need to prioritize their children. Well I'm a big proponent of everybody working on themselves. And I also believe children are a priority. But I just said a moment ago.  What does a relationship look like for you. And what does commitment look like for you. Not you know and and all you can even add what does it mean to you what does a relationship mean to you what does commitment mean to you. Really dive deeper many of you are having such surface conversations. How's your day going. Did you have a good day. I hope you had a good day.  Not about the deeper feelings. Remember I said earlier in this conversation emotional emotional IQ is going deeper than the surface and peeling the onion of what does a relationship mean to you. What does that mean to you. Means everything to me. I mean I mean not to you know to to belabor you know my relationship with my partner but being partnered with someone is is a real treasure. Something to covet something to value because it's not easy. Let's face it in our dating dysfunctional dating world today. It's incredibly complicated to even meet someone they have a bit of chemistry with and share values and lifestyles are blendable and they have emotional maturity. And you know to some level we are we because of our devices. You know we have been disillusioned to believe that there's someone just better just to swipe away there's someone better that fear of missing out. Oh you know this this person is good but there's someone even better out there. The relationship means to me it means being all in. And the minute I say the words I love you it means I'm here you matter. We are important. I've got your back. I'm not going anywhere and I only want you. I just again there wasn't a question there but I wanted to share that. So what do I think of all those things. Listen. Let me tell you something. You said men don't know what they want. Well let me be clear about something. I get women reaching out to me every day. Jonathan. I know what I want. I know what I want. I know what I want. You know then they go through this proprietary coaching program I creating. Can I tell you what they say every single time after they finish it. Why didn't I learn this in school. Why didn't my parents teach me this. Why didn't I learn this before I married the wrong guy. The fact is is everything we've learned about relationships is wrong. And if you need some understanding of the building blocks to a healthy happy relationship I highly recommend reading the book. Here's a great book. You don't have this can be replaced the word. Okay. That's called the seven principles of making marriage work. Just replace the word marriage and just say commitment. The seven principles for making commitment work the seven principles of making a relationship work. This is a great blueprint to understand. And I guarantee you Natalie and no disrespect. Most women don't know the mechanics to a healthy happy relationship. And so the expectation is men know what they want. It's because humans don't know this. My girlfriend and I watched the show them the Indian matchmaker. And what I love about the way at least those from India and again that she was there's a picture of her in India. At least they're more conscious about it. Especially within arranged marriage. They really understand the complexity of what is the purpose of marriage. If you don't know the purpose of a relationship. If you don't know the purpose of dating. Then believe me. Oh, everybody thinks the purpose and just have a good time. It's all about having a good time. Let's just have a good time. Yeah. You know what you have a good time once and a good time twice and a good time three times and a good time four times. I'm talking about different people. Pretty soon that wears on your emotional. Your emotional sovereignty. Remember I talked earlier about fizzling. Those people that fizzle you out on your life after a while. Do you know. Not feeling good enough. Not feeling likable. Not feeling lovable. Becomes your belief system and it makes it more difficult to attract a healthy happy partner in your life. All right. I went off on. I went off. All right. Thank you so much. Question. Can you have a relationship with a good guy that's not your type? I like guys. I like guys your size. He's the opposite, but so sweet. And he phones me often. We just don't have chemistry. I'm waiting. The answer is you can absolutely fall in love with a person's personality. The reality is for those of us in midlife, we're aging. We don't look like the Photoshop version of ourselves. Okay. We're aging. Not all men are six foot two. The vast majority of men are five foot nine. I think that's the average height. So, you know, they don't have a full head of hair. And by the way, for the record, everybody listening. I do not dye my hair. Mary and I should talk about that in the next video. So you get honest proof from someone. I just my younger brother is gray.   My parents gave me two of the most important requirements. It seems like height and hair, but not everyone is in that place. So what, how it's not about so much about the outside. It matters more, way more about the inside. And I've watched, I've witnessed women over and over and over again fall in love with men that weren't their type. Weren't their type. And yet value the person for who they were on the inside. Great question, Wanda. Marcy writes question. I'm in my early forties met a nice man online for the initial dating phase and getting to know each other. Is it best to wait to be physical until we decide to be exclusive kissing, et cetera. It certainly puts the odds in your favor. If you do take more time to get to know someone, first off, Jay Shetty says it takes about 40 hours of face to face time just to begin to get to know someone, just to begin to get to know someone. I've always said it takes about a hundred hours of face to face time just to build the first layer of trust. And Jay Shetty goes on to say it takes 200 hours of face to face time to build a friendship. And that's usually within a short period of time. And it doesn't count sleep over time, sleeping in the same bed time. So to answer your question, but at the end of the day, trust should be the number, trust and some level of commitment. Should you be your highest priority before you become physical with someone as a rule of thumb? Great question, Maribel. All right, let's keep swimming. Elizabeth writes question. What if I'm seeing a guy, but not in a relationship? He says after we tried being together for a very short while that he doesn't want a relationship, his answer, why he doesn't want to be. You know what? This is going to sound, I'm sorry to throw my son under the bus. That's my other son there. He dated a woman some about a year and a half ago for about five, six months. He really liked her, liked her company. They liked doing things. But for whatever reason, he wasn't feeling it. He started to notice it after about the second or third month, but he was confused. He was really reflecting upon why, you know, like, I'm just not feeling it. Do I need more time? You know, emotions are a very complicated thing to understand for a human being, especially if you have divorce in your background, like my son has and he lost his brother, you know, which certainly plays on his emotional heart strings, if you will. In fact, he lost two of his dearest friends. My point of bringing this up is our emotional maturity is a makeup of our experiences in life. And at the same time, emotions are a difficult thing to grapple at any age. In fact, as men age, we've been taught to stuff our emotions and feelings.  We think it's so easy because we've seen Disney movies that make it seem like all you have to do is fit into a glass slipper and everything will magically work out. And the reality is, is our emotions are very complicated. If you're not familiar with the book Emotional Intimacy by Robert Masters, I highly recommend reading this. So you get a baseline of understanding how emotions your own emotions work for you as well. Oh, by the way, there's another book. Speaking of the language of emotions by Carla McLaren. I highly recommend reading these books. I don't have these on my bookshelf just for decorations. These are required reading for many of my clients because there is so much value in $15 that you can change your life. But Jonathan, all you do is recommend books. By the way, all the books I recommend are in the show notes there. I recommend these books because for 15 bucks you can change your life. You don't need to spend $25,000 on someone's six month coaching program. All right. Honey writes question. How do I know if the man I'm dating is totally healed from his past? Well, hopefully he's not incessantly talking about his past. If he's incessantly talking about his past, then there's still more healing to be involved. Now, quite frankly, you could be part of that healing process.  Okay. When people are like falling in the pit, if you will, they operate from a place of victim consciousness. Okay. When a person is healing, they're operating from a place of victor consciousness. They're evaluating their past relationship and saying, you know, they're really assessing, you know, why did I make those choices in my life? Why did I accept that behavior? People that are falling into the pit, they're in blame, they're in victim consciousness. When they're coming out of the pit, there's a healing. Even in my own relationship with my partner, you know, I'm still healing from my marriage. I'm still healing from my past relationships. I'm not stuck in those areas. I'm not stuck. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just recognizing that healing is an ongoing process. So it depends on where he's at. If you want to schedule a call with me to get a baseline on that, let's do that, honey. So thank you so much for that question. Ah, Suzanne writes question. Any thoughts on dealing with a guy who has not done online dating before? What kind of guidance, if any, would you need? Well, are you talking about a friend? Does he need help or is this someone you're dating? Because if you're dating this person, why would you even care that he goes online? Folks, here's an example. And I'm going to throw you a little under the bus, Suzanne. And again, if this is someone you're interested in, why do you even care? Now, unless they're a dear friend and they want some help, that's a certain good reason to care about wanting to help them, okay? But ladies, oftentimes you care about the way men think. Instead of caring about the way you think, the reason why I said the seven great signs men over 40 want to commit to you is to ask yourself, are you experiencing this from a man? Instead of focusing on the man's needs, do you focus on your own needs? Do you focus more on your desires in the relationship? That's what I'm here to encourage from you. All right, hey, here's a question from someone in my private group called Midlife Love Mastery. There's a link below to get a copy to join the group. Question, why do men who live over three hours away or more contact me from dating apps? I clearly state my relationship goals. They never follow through with chatting online with me and they rarely talk to me on the phone. Great question. So I talked about this in the most recent video. What was the title of it? The shocking reason why men don't commit. I think, and when I shared in this video was, this was just the video I did a couple days ago, live stream. So go to the live stream button on the, on my channel. So when I did right before this one. Loneliness is probably the number one cause of, of seeking relationships these days. Many people are experiencing deep loneliness. This happened during COVID. This was amplified on COVID. And because we no longer, for the most part, meet people in our organic circle, in our real world, our devices allow us access to hundreds, if not thousands and tens of thousands of people all over the world. So the minute you make a connection with someone, it doesn't matter where they live, you just made a connection with someone. And that deep loneliness, that desire to, by the way, in Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Tony Robbins, you know, needs of six human needs, connection and community is one of the most important needs. So that's the why. My question is, why do you care? That's one question. Another question is, why do you engage if you engage? See, what's more important is what are you doing for yourself? How are you engaging? How are you operating in this sphere? That's the more important questions to be asking, not why guys do things.  What's the channel called? Understand men now. Why? Because you ladies are fixated on why men do whatever they do. Now, the titles, seven great signs men want to commit to you, but it's all about how you are evaluating men based on these things. It's really, my channel is more about how you interpret your inner world with respects to men. So, my invitation for you. Why do you care? But more importantly, if you're engaging, why are you engaging?  Now, here's where it gets tricky. My beloved lived 1,800 miles away. And you guys all know I am so anti-long distance relationships. Now, I'm anti-long distance relationship because most human beings don't have the emotional maturity. Most human beings don't know how to vet the way I do. But most importantly, I vetted this person to determine that we had so much compatibility within the city I live in that it made sense to explore it. If that weren't the case, if it didn't make sense for her to consider, and by the way, she has two younger lives here. One of her dear friends lives just literally 500 feet away from us. Her best friend lives an hour away. She has a lot of other people in her social circle that live in this general vicinity, whether Orange County or San Diego or whatnot. And she grew up in Los Angeles. So it made and this was a place she considered living. So that made sense. But many of you are engaging, for example in long distance relationships where it doesn't make sense for the two of you to live together. So why have you been exploring it? Because you have this fantasy that you can talk yourself into changing your life. Don't do that. Stop it. Stop it. Alright, thanks for that question. I appreciate it. You bet, Wright's question. I have a first blind curated date from a service I paid for. What are two or three good questions to ask at an utter stranger? Well, I think we always start with what are you looking for. But this is such a tricky question because men can give you relationship talk. I'm looking for a relationship. Your ideal relationship is this. His ideal relationship is this. Do you know that space in between? That's called drama. Because you have an expectation here. His expectation is there. Okay, that said, what are you looking for? But more importantly in the deeper question is what does a relationship look like for you and what does commitment look like for you? Those are deeper questions. I would also find out if you share the same values. I'm a big proponent of asking political and religious questions. Those gives us insight and what, by the way, since most people share this are somewhat in the middle on their political and religious views. You're looking for the extreme outliers. I highly doubt someone who loves Donald Trump and would die on the sword for Donald Trump is going to share the same values of someone who loves Bernie Sanders and would die on the sword of Bernie Sanders.  You just want to ask some questions to see if you're aligned with one another. Instead of talking about do you like sushi? Me too! Do you like to stand up paddle board and pickle ball? Oh my God, I love it! Do you like the Rolling Stones? Yeah, I've seen them in concert five times. That's not compatibility. That's familiarity and it's good to share those things. It's really good to share those things. But that's not compatibility. All right, Claudia, thank you for that question. Honey says thank you again, Jonathan. I really appreciate your effort for teaching us here about relationship skills. I'm totally clueless before and there's a lot of homework to do. Yay, I'm happy that you're doing that. Wanda writes question. If your religious views are different, will that be a problem? So, you know, not that I'm in love. Okay, so there's a book. Neil Clark Warren is the founder of eHarmony. He wrote a book called Two Dates. He talks about the 25 most popular must haves. I think it's important. Let's go to page 73. Let's go here. He outlines 25 most popular must haves. And when you have these 25, your relationship has a greater chance for success. So let's go through this real quick. So, let's go through this real quick. Emotional health. I just talked about that. Strong character. I talked about that. Energy levels. I didn't really talk about that, but are your energy levels the same? Intelligence, chemistry, financial security, verbal intimacy, conflict resolution skills, personal habits, spirituality, shared interest. I talk about that all the time. Similar political and social views, interest in parenting, and this is, by the way, here's the thing about midlife folks. It's even more, by the way, it's one thing to share the same parenting skills. It's another thing to blend lives when you have children. And believe me, children can be the most problematic part of any relationship, especially if you're with a covert incest, a person who has covert incest, and that's another emotional incest with one of their children. Personality. Values. I talk about values all the time.  Facial features, even clothes. It's funny that clothes on here reminds me of my sweetheart. She didn't like the fact that I was a jeans and flip flop kind of guy. She would have loved me when I was in my Mr. Big period of time in my life as a suit and tie kind of guy. I live at the beach, kind of jeans and flip flops. Certainly, though, I do appreciate her sense of style. I think she is, by the way, you've watched videos with her. You've noticed that today I'm wearing just a polo shirt, but you've noticed that I've upgraded my level because there is something about clothes that even matters. I just did a video on how to create sexy confidence with a man consultant. The clothes we wear can be a reflection of how we feel about ourselves on the inside. I would say after my divorce my jeans and flip flops and other things because I really got beaten up during that period of my life and I was really kind of regressing a bit. It was really a regression. I used to read GQ magazine in my 20s. I was the double breasted suit guy even to a biker bar with my friends. So these are 25 things the book two dates or less talk about and compatibility is a big component of that. So thank you so much for that question. I think this will be a great place to wrap up for today, our little Saturday morning coffee.  Please forgive me if I was a bit boisterous here. I hope you found value in this.
