cheer up. But they're not just, A, they didn't just call up the song. You know, it's not just like a bunch of shots of them being presidential while like fight song plays like Hillary Clinton, right? These are full parody songs of that talk about how great they are as candidates to the tune of this. But they both did it. Wow. There are two separate parody songs out this cape, like based on this K-pop song. Is it the same original song? Yeah, cheer up. Is it the same karaoke version of the song, meaning it like sounds the same? Different people. I mean, I guess it's probably the same like backing. I don't know if it's the exact same backing track. Here's the, here's the, here's the, here's the song here. Hold on. So this is, this is one of the dudes. And then here's this other dudes. I'm sorry. I guess they went the extra, they went, they went the extra mile and like actually threw in some of his, his audio there. Yeah. I was going to say that was him, but so at first I thought they both sang it or something. All right, we're ready to go. Yeah, we're good. Wait, wait, when you're talking, I was sharing an echo. Was that a delay or did you have an audio source? When Justin plays audio on his side and then I start talking again, you can kind of hear me a little bit, but then it kind of goes away. I have, I have, it's the way, I think it's the way his monitor works or something. It's a little sensitive. Cool. Then let me hide. Okay. I'll let you start. So you're going to start recording right before you do your bit. Yeah. Yeah. I'll, I'll start. And then when you do my bit, you can you'll know I've started. Got it. I think I've already started. It's already recording. And then I'll just go back and cut this part out when I'm done. Got it. Cool. All right. Hiding. All right. Here we go. Let's start it off. Get the little cues up here. Here we go. All right. I think we're ready to go. We are ready to go. Here it goes. It starts in three, two, one. The Daily Tech News Show is powered by you. To find out more, head to dailytechnewshow.com slash support. This is the Daily Tech News Show for Thursday, April 27th, 2017. I'm Scott Johnson, filling in for Tom Merritt. I'm joined today by a good friend and your usual Thursday co-host, Justin Robert Young.  Yeah. I like when we get to hang out. We don't ever do it under this, the auspices of let's discuss technology news though. So this is new and weird, right? Oh, yet another facet of our culture that we can fail to meet people's expectations. Yeah, we'll see how we do. I'm really excited about today's report card. But we wish Tom the best. He's fine. He had an appointment that he couldn't schedule a different time. He asked us to step in. We were happy to do it. And he's probably listening now, hoping also for the best. Let's see if we can give it to him with some of these little tech things you should know. The Apple App Store will raise prices in Mexico, Denmark and countries using the euro. In an email to developers, Apple cited the changes were related to foreign exchange rates. The new pricing changes will go into effect before the end of next week. Earlier this week, Apple announced a significant decrease in its affiliate program commission rate.  A good example, this would be touch arcade.com. They rely a lot on those referrals and those guys got dinged really hard by this. I mean, it's a changing market and it's becoming more and more and more of where people make money. But you know, this is some of the stuff that just needs to happen overseas as these, you know, we're changing in turbulent times when it comes to currencies. And this is just one of the many ripples that we see from it. Well, I'm glad you said that because later in the show, our main topic deals directly with the changing seas of how we transfer money back and forth. We'll get to that in a bit. Also, Engadget is reporting it. Nintendo director Genio Takeda is stepping down this June. This dude has been in his position for 46 years. He is absolutely the old guard at the company, although he only looks about 46 years old. He's actually 68. During his time with the company, produced and directed notable titles like Punch Out and Pilot Wing 64, he designed the N64 analog stick controller. That thing is hugely influential right up until this day. And filling his role will be Koshiotta, head of Nintendo's platform technology development division and hardware lead on the Wii U. It should be noted that Takeda was the primary mind behind the original Wii and its success. Kind of a big deal though, Justin, think about it.  I was like a year old or something when that happened, when he joined the company back in 71. Yeah. And I was many negative years from being born. But yeah, these are changing times for Nintendo as well.  And now this seems like a good time for people to kind of shuffle out of old roles and into new roles as they've had a platform over-deliver for them with the Switch. Yeah, Switch is doing really well. Let's talk about some more top stories. Apple is in talks to launch its own Venmo Reports Recode, or Recording to Recode. They're the ones reporting it. According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple recently held talks with payment partners about a Venmo competitor letting iPhone owners send money digitally to other iPhone owners. A source familiar with the plans expects the company to announce the service later this year. However, another source cautioned that the announcement and launch date may not be set. Apple held similar talks with banks back in 2015. We are going to pry that egg right open during our main topic today and talk about whether Apple has what it takes in the web services arena to even tackle such an idea, let alone get the hearts and minds of the Venmo user base interested at all. So we'll get all to that a bit. But pretty exciting stuff, if that's true. It means an interesting piece of competition from a very big player with a dubious past. Well, sure. I think and what we're going to go into a little bit more later is how much of this is just money on the table for Apple to take? They can probably get a fairly good idea of how much goes from iPhone to iPhone on Venmo right now. So if they could make something a little bit more intuitive and easy, then it's just money that is theirs to have. Google has also introduced neural machine translation in nine Indian languages in Chrome, including Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Malayanam. I'm sorry, India. Neural translation is more accurate by translating whole sentences at a time rather than individual words. Google has added 11 more Indian languages to its G board keyboard, bringing the total to 22 Indian languages.  It sounded a little like a, I don't know, a new version of the Laverne and Shirley intro song as you were going along there, especially when you got to Tamil. Nintendo said it expects to sell 10 million rather, Nintendo Switch consoles, which could help double annual operating profit and end what we're looking at here, which is an eight year sales decline. That's pretty ugly. 2.74 million Switch systems sold or shipped in March, beating a goal of 2 million by 40%. Nintendo said, or also noted that Super Mario run is nearly 150 million free downloads with paid users below 10%. And three sales increased to 7.27 million. On the side note here, new Switch is in a lot of stores this weekend.  Super Mario Kart coming out tomorrow, Super Mario Kart eight deluxe, which is kind of a refitting and updating of the hit with you title. But one thing that you don't see mentioned in this, and we're not going to talk a ton about, but they've got another mobile game in the form of, Oh, the name just left me. Why can't I think of the name of that game? Anyway, their other mobile game is extremely successful, has way, way less than 150 million free users. It's also a free game, but has something like 10 times the revenue. So I think this is a moment for speaking of Nintendo and mobile for them to learn the lessons from these two titles and figure out what their mobile plan is going to be for the future. In the one case, they asked for 10 bucks. Not a lot of people are paying it. They're just playing the free version. And in the other case, it's a free game, and it's available to anybody. You could play it for free indefinitely, but people are throwing microtransactions at it like crazy. So anyway, it's an interesting year for Nintendo. Everything sort of looks on the up and up. And I feel like we haven't been able to say that for, well, eight years or so. Well, sure. Their transition into mobile gaming was always going to be fraught with peril, right? They had very, very specific ideas of why they hadn't gotten into it previously. They were very resistant to get into it. They got into it really with one toe first. And so there is little surprise in the idea that they wanted to go in with a, hey, pay up front or let's gate off content. So you have to just give us a lump sum because that's how they know business has run forever. I think that they are hopefully a company that can adapt to it. As to the Switch, you know, you really just got to take your hat off to them because this is a launch that many people, I think, correctly criticized Nintendo for being way underpowered when it came to games. That it was a weird launching cycle. They didn't do it for Christmas last year. They did it for the spring. The idea was to kind of supercharge their ability to run them off in larger quantities during the holiday season this year. And man, it has worked to perfection. I mean, just look at that, you know, 3DS sales have increased to 7.27 million. They're going to sell 10 million Switches this year, which is amazing. They've already sold 2.74 million just in this pre-launch where really only a new Zelda game was driving them. They don't, they don't have Mario out yet. They're just releasing Mario Kart this week. So good on Nintendo. This was something that I think that they needed. And you know, this is Nintendo at its best. Their console is social coup. It is cool to have one. It is cool to be seen with one. And it is a triumph of design as opposed to hardware. Yeah. And they're actually selling more Zelda copies than they have consoles right now. It's selling more than one to one, which is a really weird place to be that that speaks to the quality of that game. Also, before everyone floods Tom with emails, it's Fire Emblem Heroes is the game I couldn't remember. That's the iOS game that's making bank for Nintendo. So good on them for that. And good on me for forgetting the important title as we were talking. Meanwhile, digital advertising revenue rose 22% to 72.5 billion in 2016. According to a report from Price Waterhouse Coopers for the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Mobile passed desktop ad spending for the first time and digital spending as a whole past television spending for the first time. The IAB also emphasized that 31% of growth came from outside the top 10 ad companies, which are dominated by Google and Facebook. Is this surprised to you, Scott? Yeah, I feel like the appropriate response to this is to be surprised that all of the dire predictions, not dire predictions, but the predictions over the last few years that Google and Facebook would dominate ad networks to the degree that they would become monopolistic, that we were going to have to have some kind of crazy intervention break up of these companies, that it wasn't fair, that they would control so much of the market. If you would have warned me about this report and said, Scott, what do you think the percentage is? I would have said, well, Google's probably got 90%. Facebook's got the other 10, and I don't know where the rest are coming from. That's a little extreme obviously. But 31% growth outside of those two juggernauts is enormous. Like that's actually... Well, all right. I think you might be overstating this a little bit. I mean, certainly, it is good to see that there are players that are not owned by Facebook and Google that are doing better than they would otherwise. But that is not to say that Facebook and Google are in any way not absolutely dominating. And also, who's to say, I think both these companies are probably going to ride the line as close as they can in terms of acquiring these companies that are on the make. So, I would bump the brakes on that idea. I don't think that we're in any way out of the woods on looking at those two companies specifically as not having the largest share and kind of an iron fist on this. What I'm kind of surprised about is that this hasn't happened sooner, that mobile hasn't surpassed desktop sooner, and that just digital spending hasn't passed TV sooner. It reminds me of... There was a time, I think it was 2005 that I was reading in a newspaper, shows you where we were in an era back then, that for the first time ever broadband internet had surpassed dial-up. And most of the people that I knew had had broadband internet for five, six years at that point. You just kind of realized that this is a lagging indicator, but it really just shows you that this media market has totally shifted. Yeah. I mean, yesterday I was arguing about whether Twitter could pull off 24-hour live streaming, video, television content on their platform. And he made lots of good sort of arguments as to why that would work out pretty well, but I forget that this is part of that. We are seeing a complete flip over, not dominance, but a... We've gotten to that point where more advertising is happening digitally and being delivered mobile than ever before. It makes sense almost across the board if you have a service with some millions of subscribers, users, daily activity, if you're not pushing ads through video and through content, you're insane, like it has to be part of your business model. Yeah. This study sort of helps confirm that in my head. The Guardian reports that Uber will offer its UK driver sickness cover in return for a 2 euro a week fee to pounds a week fee. I'm trying to get out of Britain. I'm trying to Brexit out of this thing. They never had a euro, but yeah, sure. That's true. They never did. No. They were never really in, man. They were always just kind of happy. They were at one foot out of the door from the get. Don't do trying to fool us, Britain. Anyway, this is a two pound a week fee in a bid to head off criticism of the company's working conditions. By the way, I was reading just before the show that the, uh, the current Uber CEO supposedly has the second highest score in wheat tennis. I just wanted to point that out real quick. I don't know if it's really chaotic has not taken a score of wheat tennis. Isn't that really weird? It's a weird, it's a weird stat. You can Google it. Everybody it's out there. Anyway, uh, what was my point? Oh, Uber drivers in a 27 or excuse me, 25 British towns and cities who drove more than 500 trips will be eligible for payments of up to 2000 pounds. It's a lot of pounds if they're unable to drive for two weeks or longer because of illness. They also get 2000 pounds in the event. They are called for jury service. That's what we call duty over here. Uh, 300 pounds a week. If an accident takes place during a trip or while logged into the app, that's weird. The guardian estimates the policy will cost Uber several millions of pounds a year, but in an overarching, uh, global effort to improve what they do with their customers and with their employees, uh, quote unquote employees, their drivers, this seems like it's right in line with what Uber has to do to improve their image. No, they are not quote unquote employees. And if you say that they are employees, Uber will slap the taste out of your mouth to make sure that you never forget that they are indeed not employees. No, they're friends, but now with this, maybe they're friends with benefits. Uh, this is an interesting move for Uber to say, Hey, you don't have to be an employee to get extra stuff out of us. What you want is extra stuff. You don't really want to be an employee. An employee means that now we would be able to demand that you do different things. We want to keep this super cash, bro. So here's 2,500 American. If you get sick or you have jury duty, but we'll just do the nice things. Right?  Don't they run the risk though? I mean, this maybe is too far out there, but I'll ask you anyway. Do they run the risk by doing some of these things, even those that are kind of nice, uh, surface level stuff. Do they run the risk of then making themselves look like they're more of an employee employer relationship and therefore, especially in the UK where regulations get a little crazy, those guys could swoop in and say, ah, so you're giving them some benefits. Well, that automatically qualifies you as an employer. We're going to now start treating these people as your employees, which means they can unionize, which means they can blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, far be it for me to, uh, propose myself as a British labor expert, but I think for them, they're already in those positions. You know, Uber is a profitable enough company that many people are going to look at them and say, well, why aren't you taking more care of these people? Why aren't they employees? They certainly feel like employees and they look like employees. Now that is anathema to Uber's business model and they have fought tooth and nail against it. But I think this is basically just, you are an independent contractor and this is just a cool person to catch a gig from because they do cool things for you. And it's most recent software update UAV maker DJI geofence large portions of Iraq and Syria has no fly zones. And the statement DJI reiterated that their geofences are designed to notify pilots of air arrows, aerospace restrictions, not intended to enforce laws or thwart misconduct. So they're just telling you that this is a no fly zone. What you do is up to you maniac. Well, and also, I mean, I've seen their latest, um, the Mavic two or whatever it is, the new Mavic, uh, drone that they make. I've seen that thing in action and I've seen it behave, uh, strangely in cases where it's in an area it's not supposed to. I've seen them try to fly by some, uh, military, uh, training places out here and training, you know, military training places. And I've seen them kind of go up, nope, turn around, come back the other way. I still think all that stuff can be hacked. And so all this stuff is just like goodwill from them. But in the end, you can fly whatever you want over there eventually. So there you go. Hey, uh, this just in beep it, beep, beep, beep alphabet earnings from CMBC got a lot of earnings calls today. So we're going to rip right through them alphabet earnings from CMBC earnings per share, $7.73 versus 7.39 a share. According to Thompson, uh, uh, Reuters consensus estimate revenue, 24.75 billion versus 24.2 billion, uh, according to Thompson Reuters. And, uh, UP are up compared to a year ago when Google's parent, uh, reported adjusted first quarter earnings of $6 and two cents per share on 20.26 billion in revenue. That means revenue increased 22% over the last year. So that's, uh, Scott, I get the next one here. Microsoft earnings, Microsoft reported earnings of a 73 cents per share at 23.56 billion in revenue. Analysts expected earnings of 70 cents per share at 23.62 billion in revenue, according to Thompson Reuters consensus estimates. Uh, intelligent cloud revenue was 6.8 billion versus 6.6 billion expected according to street account consensus. So a little, uh, beating expectations on the cloud. Yeah. For actually all these are all right. Amazon earnings from CNBC earnings per share, $1.48 versus $1.12. That's an estimate, according to, again, Thompson Reuters consensus, uh, revenue 35.7 billion versus 35.3 billion estimate. And, uh, AWS sales increased 42% to 3.66 billion. Stocks surged in 90, uh, $961.80 in extended trading after closing at a record, nine 1876, uh, everybody doing well. And a lot of it seems to be based on cloud services. Yeah. Look at that.  I don't know. I feel like the more that number goes up, the more I worry a little bit that we all have a lot of eggs in one basket, um, internet wise, it's all over there on, uh, Amazon S3 servers and that's fine. And that's great. And the technology is amazing and it's cheaper and it's all those things, but we are really counting on them to hold it together. And I hope they can, uh, that takes care of your headlines, everybody. Get all the tech headlines each day. You can get them in the morning for, uh, uh, you know, about five minutes or so. How do you do that? You go over to daily tech headlines.com and check it out. It's also on the anchor app where Tom puts those up each and every day. So go check that out as well. Our discussion story today. Yeah. Is Apple going to launch a rival to Venmo? First of all, are they? And second of all, what do we make of all of that? Justin, we're talking about digital payments, one-to-one digital payments as well as other stuff. Venmo did something like 7.7 billion in record transfers last year. They are owned by PayPal. A fact that PayPal seems okay that nobody knows about. They don't really care if millennials know they don't Venmo. In fact, it's probably better that they don't. PayPal feels like grandpa's digital payment service and Venmo is like the hot millennial thing to have. We'll talk more about that later. It's a lucrative space. And you mentioned earlier, Apple has a lot of data about how their phones and devices and users use, uh, you know, their phones and their apps. They probably know exactly what's going on with Venmo on the, on the device. So my question to you is can Apple successfully or unsuccessfully attempt to become the next PayPal slash Venmo slash, uh, digital cash transfer service? Can they either successfully or unsuccessfully do it? Yes, they can, they can successfully or unsuccessfully do it. Uh, uh, but I think the big question is why would Apple target this as a natural outgrowth for them? And here's the reason there are already a trusted place where you had your credit card forever. Uh, this is part of the reason why the iTunes store became such a gigantic winner for them. Uh, oh, so long ago back at the turn of the century was this was like Amazon, one of the few trusted players where you just handed them your credit card and you were happy to have a one touch buying experience for Apple. It was music and then eventually other stuff, including in the Apple store. Amazon, of course, it was everything else on the planet, but here's where Apple has a distinct advantage on your iPhone for iPhone owners. They have all your contacts. You know, you don't theoretically have to ask somebody what their Venmo number is. You don't have to ask them what their PayPal address is. If they have another iPhone and they can automatically say that, all right, here's an Apple cash thing. Boom. Like this is already done for you. It is a frictionless experience compared to the already fairly frictionless experience that Venmo operates. But here's the question. Can Apple shake off what has been a bugaboo for them since Steve Jobs was running that company? And that is their web services are, to coin a phrase, booty. That's the mountain to climb, clearly. Their web services in the past have been terrible. There's no questioning that. Some would say, well, wait, Apple pays pretty good. And you made the point before the show and I would concur. The reason Apple pay works very simply and easily is because they're just acting as a front end for an already existing ecosystem of banks and credit card approvals and other stuff. There's really no rocket science to coin a bad phrase for it involved in the way Apple pay works. It's really just front end to front end. And you either accept that as the vendor, the store or whatever or not. Very similar to the way Google Wallet works and other services. So what they're actually talking about implementing is them taking on the additional role of holding funds and moving those funds around and being really the entire chain from request to completion. And whether that money represents actual cash and where it represents it, it doesn't matter. They are in effect the courier that will be carrying your money back and forth in the way that Venmo is in the way that PayPal is. So that's a very distinct difference. And that means a lot more in terms of backend and infrastructure and smart people and business plan and everything else. There's a reason why PayPal is really good at this and why the purchase of Venmo made sense for them. It's all they do. And any other related companies they have and own and carry, that's all they do too or it's at least related. This is a case where a desktop phone tablet software manufacturer is going to get into a financial services business that is not something they've ever had to deal with before. And every time Apple has done this with something they're not used to, the results have been kind of bad. They've been great when it's in their wheelhouse, but as soon as we're out of their core competency, it's been a bit of a struggle. So I 100% agree with you that that's a problem. It is absolutely booty historically, although I've never heard that before. I like that a lot. It's pretty good. But here's the bigger question. Let's say they can successfully jump over that hurdle. We can still talk about that hurdle, but let's say that they do. My larger concern is, even as someone who spends a lot of time in the Apple ecosystem, that's a portion of the market that they will do well with probably because we've already got the devices or whatever, but there's a huge swath of people who are on Android and other devices that are they going to get a version of Apple, whatever it's going to be called? Apple millennialmoneytransfer.com? Or are they going to be left out in the cold? Will it be a half-assed version of the app on that thing and never very good, like iTunes on Windows? I don't actually know how Apple Music on Android is. I hear it's okay. I love Apple Music on Apple stuff, but I have no idea how it functions over there. So are we going to end up with this, again, split ecosystem and maybe they don't care about that? Because that seems huge when you're talking about... So let me ask you, because Apple does have this distinction. Apple Music, iTunes are platforms that they wanted to build to play on Windows, to play on Android, right? Messages, which you would think in the rise of chat apps being very, very dominant, that Apple might have an incentive to build out apps specifically because they have a store now with stickers and everything that they get a cut on that they would want to build those out for Android, and yet they have not. So on which side of that line do you think this would land? Well, that's a great question. I remember when the new version of iMessage came out and it introduced stickers and the games you can play within it in the App Store for those games, all that stuff. And I remember you being on Twitter somewhere just raving about it. Man, this is cool. Yeah. Yeah. And I agree. It's totally rad. It's been awesome. I like it a lot. But it feels like it's happening in this tiny... I'm not tiny. It's obviously big, but it's happening in this fenced-off space, this walled-off garden, as some may say, and it's not happening anywhere else. So one of their great strengths on the platform has always been iMessage is this great step way above what instant messaging or rather text messaging SMS used to give us. And why on earth could they not translate that someplace else, to take it someplace else? And I think that they could, but I do worry.  It's like terrible, and I like iTunes. So that's me saying that. The version on the Mac is wonderful, always has been. I have no problem with it. Some could argue whether they think it's long in the tooth or whatever, but it's always done what I need it to do. But it's terrible on that other platform. So whenever they extend outside of this space they've created, as happy as we all may be in there sometimes, they blow it on the other side. So I guess I just don't have any indication that they can do it because they haven't yet. Is this the one? Because if they want this, they can't just stop with their ecosystem and their happy buyers. It has to go further. It has to extend to the other side or else what is the point of this? Venmo will just keep eating their lunch. Apple Music has certainly made inroads, but Spotify is not scared. I don't think they are anyway. That's up for debate. I think that Spotify certainly has been shaken a little bit by Apple's ability to play hitmaker with some of the exclusives and everything, but that's a conversation for another day. Here's where I would say I'm with you. I think that they would keep this as an Apple side exclusive. Number one, they have had fragmentation problems on their own end. The Apple Messages app that I really, really like on iOS does not transfer to my desktop. I do not have the same access to the sticker libraries on my desktop that I do on my iOS device. I don't have the same ability to like and thumbs up and laugh at certain comments that I do on my iOS device. It shows up in that janky Android like blank laugh at an image and it's like, okay, that's not great. Also, I think Apple's got a long way to go. If you look at, what is the, what's that? No, the way to send stuff, the file transfer protocol that they have. AirDrop. Yeah, AirDrop, yeah. AirDrop is janky. Sometimes it's magic, sometimes it's not. It's very, very fickle to get it to work and you need to have six things turned on. And if one of them's not turned on on either side, it's a problem. I would suspect that they would want some of that functionality for a payment transfer service, right? They would want to make it as magical as possible because that's Apple's bit. And yet they haven't been able to do it. So I would hope, here's my hope for this. I hope they do it. But I hope that it shows up some of that AirDrop technology. I hope that they make it a super easy, no nonsense way that I can via Siri, via my watch, via whatever, just easily send money from one person to another in a variety of different ways, which every way is most appropriate based on the device that I'm on. Be it voice on my watch, be it a thumbprint on my phone or something else on my Mac or desktop. And I hope that once that's there and it's cool and it works on all my devices, as somebody who has bought into the Apple ecosystem as hard as I have, then think about stretching it further out. Because that's always been their problem. Yeah, I think I agree with that. The only other thing I would add here is they have a little bit of a branding problem. If the people you're trying to get, Venmo specifically, Venmo has always thrived in a youth-oriented market. It's how 18-year-olds pay each other for their weed. I shouldn't say that. Pay each other for services and goods. It is. It just straight up is. And it has some social hooks and some other stuff that you don't find in PayPal. There's a reason PayPal doesn't call it PayPal Venmo or PayPal and renamed it to back to PayPal or something. They kept Venmo and they don't actively advertise that they own it for a reason. Because PayPal is grandpa, Venmo is the hot newness. If Apple wants to avoid being grandpa cook's old-timey money transfer, they need to think about that. Now, how they do that, I don't know. That's really hard. You take all the marketing classes in the world and you cannot figure out what the... But Apple is a brand. Apple is Apple. They just need to build the thing that works and their brand has remained markably steadfast. I think that that's... And to be honest, I don't know if their key demo is hashtag the kids, TM. I think that they want to be the easy, frictionless way that I can pay my mom or my mom can pay me. And I'm 30 and she's 60. So I think that that is more where they are looking for necessarily than the kids. Yeah. No, it's a fair point. I mean, everybody wants to talk about this as a Venmo competitor and that makes the brain go, oh, you mean to compete with this millennial favorite money transfer thing? That's maybe not what they're doing at all. They may just be saying, well, no, we want to let people move money around. Payments in general are shifting rapidly. The way that we do things, even the credit card, your credit card is different than it looked 10 years ago. The idea of contactless payments, Samsung wants to get into this, Samsung Pay, Apple got into it with Apple Pay. NFC has radically transferred not only how we pay for things, but also who takes a cut on them. There's a reason why a lot of like CVSs and everything refused to get in on Apple Pay initially because they were like, no, no, no, no, no. If there's going to be a technology shift, we don't want credit cards involved. We would rather just deal with the bank so we don't have to pay a credit card fee with every transaction. That's millions if not billions of dollars in the long run for us just in one technological shift alone. So Apple would be dumb to not put their flag in the ground and say, all right, we don't know where all this is going to go. But for however much is already going from iPhone to iPhone, we would like to make that simpler and we would like to take all but a tiny piece or just make it cooler to get an iPhone because this is the cooler way and easier way that you can do stuff like that. Well, I think it's, I think, yeah, time's going to tell on this thing. And if the show isn't called Uncle Cook's or Grandpa Cook's old timey money transfer, then we're doing something wrong today. I want to thank everybody who participates in our subreddit, by the way, submitting stories and so on over there. You can do your own stories over there, submit them and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. And topics like this are not immune. It may end up being a main topic or something you vote on over there. So please do it quickly. Let's do our pick of the day. You can send your picks, by the way. Oh, we don't have a pick of the day doing. We're just going to write to messages. Let's do it. Message of the day. This one says Tom, but we'll put Justin Scott in there as well. What? I said, hey, look at that. Oh, hey, look at that. All right. Tom, it's Josh from The Chef from Detroit. The chef. I was listening to the story about Senate having fake PIVs. We talked about this yesterday. Wow. It says, wow, the Veterans Administration has transitioned all employees to PIVs with two-factor authentication. I have been struggling to get my new dishwasher, a proper PIV badge, so he can access his annual leave. Not always an easy process. Maybe I can just draw a picture of a chip on his badge. Ironic that a food service worker must have a PIV badge, but the Senate staff does not. Regardless, I had to chime in when I heard you talking about this. Have a great day, Josh. So yesterday, we talked about this quick summary. The Senate guys all have these fake photos of chips on their cards that do nothing. They don't add any second factor or anything. There's no security. It's just so it looks like there's a chip in it. Whereas White House staff all have chips in theirs. I know he makes a pretty good point. Tom and I were flummoxed. We don't understand why have anything. A picture of the chip does nothing. It's just the appearance of something that doesn't do anything. So it's the still the dumbest thing of the world. What do you think about it? I'm very curious. What do you think about a fake chip on your It reminds me of people that just put up that this house is protected by ADT sign in their yard. Yeah. That's a good one. No, like fake security cameras or Yeah. It's like sometimes security theater is its own security, right? Thought about that. Yeah, I wish I would have thought to mention that yesterday. I actually had in our old house, we had two really official blinking with lights and everything security cameras front door, back door, and they didn't do a thing. In fact, they moved even, but they didn't transmit video. No actual cameras. Yeah. How much less did you pay for that instead of just getting a camera? I think they were like maybe 10 bucks a piece. Oh, nice. Yeah. They were less than what it paid, but if you held them, they were specials. If you get something like that for that cheap, that's good. Exactly. And they were plasticine kind of cheap and lame and all that. So there was nothing really fancy going on there, but pretty funny scenario regardless. Thanks for your email. Big, big thanks for that. Really appreciate all those emails that come to Tom at feedback at daily tech news show.com. That's feedback at daily tech news show.com. I think we're done. Justin. Yeah. We're done, buddy. Me and you have to just draw a line in the sand and say that's all we could do on a Thursday, but I'm real curious about anything you have going on in the world that you'd like to mention now. Well, I just want to thank everybody for listening and dealing with me and Scott barking at each other in lieu of your regular sage and wise Tom Merritt.

Uh, hold on. No fly drones. No fly drone. Very simple. Redirect. Apple's walled wallets. A show without, oh, a show without me. Oh, thanks, Tom. Dirty. Tom, put that one. Oh, did he?  That's rough, man. Really? Roll. All this effort, Tom. All this effort. Just gotta, gotta rub it in. All right. Uh, people, pay people, pay people. Okay. Okay. Oh, Papal. They're trying to do Apple and PayPal. Pay PayPal. All right. Hope. Got it. Um, this is a no DJI zone. The kids want Venmo, not a PayPal, not a Pal that pays. Not your father's wide payment service. Dude, I'll pay you when I switch to iOS. I left my wallet and my other operating system. Show without merit. We've gotten so many of those in the past. Uncle Cook's old timey money transfer. Be like a new version of Western Union. The way we look at Western Union and Cowboys, we'll look at, um, PayPal and old guys selling memorabilia, sports memorabilia on eBay. Got it. Guys, stop voting up a show without me by ace to day. Yeah. Quit encouraging him. Don't let him get away with that. Well, it's gotta be grandpa Cook's old timey money transfer. All right. I vote for, I vote for that. I vote for that. All right. I will second or third the vote. Doesn't matter. It's up to me. Totally fine. Totally works. Grandpa Cook's old timey money transfer. Nothing says I love you grandchild, like pulling out my payment service to pay for your child bubble. Oh, that's what that is. That's not me mumbling. That's me editing. See, put this here. Stick this. You want this in Slack like last time, right? Yeah. Yeah, that works. That works. Oh, that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that's what I'm saying. That works. I think it went good. It went well. It went awesome. I like talking to Justin when he's really, Justin, I'm going to talk about you in the third person for a second. Okay. Sure. Yeah. Go ahead. I'm not here. Don't worry. It's not weird. Okay. I like to work with Justin Robert Young and I mean, we get to talk about goofy stuff all the time. And I guess we're kind of a, like when he's on TMS, it's like a halfway mark between like, or night attack and this, but it's fun to be in a place where you're like journalistic background smart talking Justin comes out. Smart talking. It's hard to explain, but you've got like the wisdom is good and it's, it's just, it's good. You know, the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules. It's a, it's a thing. I don't know. I just enjoy it and we always have a plan to say, so it's not like we're going to run out of stuff, you know? Oh yeah. Well, and this, the only thing that talks about this story is that it is just like yet another Apple rumor where like Apple's just such a fascinating company that it's like they can literally do anything because they, because so few, like it's a weird self-perpetuating cycle, right? They don't do a ton of stuff. So therefore each rumor means more because if it comes true, it will be bigger because it will be one of the things that gets done. Like an Apple car. Yeah. That in itself perpetuates more rumors, which means there are always going to be more rumors than there are things done, which makes more rumors. And so like we get to have these conversations and it's great for the industrial talking head complex like us where we have something we're talking about every single day. But it's also like, okay, so yeah, they could and it could be cool. And let's go ahead and fantasy book how it would, you know, we'd do this and it'd be exclusive and it would be contactless. And Tim Cook would get out on stage and he'd be like, well now I wonder if somebody's going to give me $5 and then any queue will come out and they'll be, you know, still drunk from the night before and his belly will be showing. And it'll be like, maybe I can and then they'll Yeah. Tim Cook He comes out and says, we're so excited about this year's My favorite Tim Cook line was when he was doing the, uh, the, the watch and he was like talking about the heartbeat sending the heartbeat. He's like, I sure hope that somebody will send me the heartbeat.  Like just even that Travis Kalanick, that Uber story, um, uh, just, uh, uh, you know, he's like, well, I heard you've been breaking our rules. It's like, just so amazing. You get me getting like, there's no way that Steve Jobs says it like that, right?   I wonder if he, if he drinks lemonade with like little leaves of mint in it, just seems kind of like a very laid back kind of guy.  He's secretly vicious. Like he comes off as very, um, plight and not very offensive, but like, you know, secretly he'll, he can whip it out, whip it up, whip it up. He can whip out a knife and stab you in the back when you least expect it. Yeah. You know, I, I, I think, uh, you know, he, uh, well, well, the rap on him was always that he was, he's very, he's a lot more nicer and a lot more like non-convertational than Jobs was, but he's, uh, he's like demands meticulous preparation for everybody. That's always his like, he's always the guy that knows page 50 of every contract. Like cause he was, he was their logistics guy and their supply chain guy. I would like to imagine cause he's a huge Auburn football fan. Yeah.    Like that's my impression of Tim Cook watching Auburn football. Well, he's always new products. Well, shoot. I can't, I can't believe they gave up a first down. Wait, that sounds like someone though, not like Tim Cook, but someone else. Yeah, it's ringing. Well, dude, is it sound like that's a good boy? I don't know. It sounds like it sounds like like someone says a cartoon or sitcom, but someone who talks is it from brother where art down when he's the kid says, I nick the census man last week. And he goes, no, that's a good boy.  I love that movie. I want to watch it now. Anyway, all right, let me stop the live stream. Thank you all for listening. Tom will be back with Len Peralta and I as act are or so they say in the mic in their email responses tomorrow. So stay tuned. Yeah, one day one


What's good y'all support us back again with another video. So unfortunately, we weren't able to stream smackdown tonight We were celebrating One of the homies was getting married this weekend. So he was having a little bachelor Little bachelor shindig at his place or whatnot. So we wanted to Show out and support him. So that's the only reason why we didn't stream But I was able to check out some of the segments on smackdown and the most noticeable thing I'm gonna talk about obviously is the bloodline situation and what they got going on there. So Apparently well first things first.  Hey, you know You really should have listened to me I hope they're not teasing any type of breakup anytime soon because that would just kind of defeat the purpose of them coming together So that's what you know, pretty much they're having their little discussion about and obviously the usos come out and they're You know usos come out with a solo so-called, you know, I'm saying they're they're talking their mess or what not and I like what Sammy was saying Sammy was hitting some truth bombs. He was like, yo, y'all You just don't want to admit it. You just don't get it like Roman doesn't have he doesn't want He has nothing to do with y'all He doesn't want anything to do with y'all after y'all lost those titles He has been treating y'all differently. You don't even want to realize it You didn't even realize how solo was looking at you He wanted to take you out not too long ago, you know, he y'all really are not Getting what Roman is doing to y'all and that's fine, you know, you got to report back to daddy You know, so you got to report back to your tribal chief because at the end that he doesn't even want to talk to you guys And that's very very important because ever since they've lost those titles They haven't really had any type of interactions with Roman the only person that's had any interactions with Roman Outside of Paul Heyman is solo because solo is the main reason why Roman is still champion Solo has been that silent enforcer that's done everything that Roman says to the best of his ability got things done So obviously, you know, Roman's not gonna be one to talk to them and Jay's response is like, you know I thought Kevin Owens was gonna be the one to turn on you But nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, I thought Kevin Owens was gonna be the one to portray portray you Sammy No, it's Sammy.  It's another promo segment basically Paul Heyman letting it be known That uh That they will be having a rematch for the tag team titles, but this none not at a pay-per-view. It's gonna be a Smackdown episode in Corpus Christi. So which is that's a good way to get people hyped up about the match You know to actually have it on television. I think it's gonna be a pretty good match I'm gonna have a pretty good show in there So that's what's happening instead of a WrestleMania backlash, whatever they're calling it They're gonna have it on Smackdown in two weeks And I look this was something really good that Paul Heyman's really good at doing his promos are very meticulous He does things for a reason and if you pay attention to it, you'll catch it It's not a lot of times is not even outward like put out there.  He's pointing at Sammy and Kevin Owens the Usos doesn't realize he's talking about them because he's pointing at Sammy and Kevin Owens When he's saying the tribal chief is losing patient with you guys patience with you guys, but he looks right at Jimmy and Jay So he's pointing at Kevin Owens and Sammy Zayn while he says that but he's looking right at them both When he's saying Romans and is losing patience with you guys. I love that That was great. That's adding more story to this as a fan if you're watching that you saw that You're like, uh-oh. He's not talking about Kevin and Sammy. He's talking about the Usos here because once again Roman has been showing them the cold shoulder has not even wanted to talk to them since they lost the titles and I think this is really gonna be playing up into the fact of what they're trying to do the dissension of the bloodline Obviously it only makes sense for Kevin Owens and Sammy Zayn to retain and I think that's gonna be a very Interesting situation when it does happen because then We're gonna see how Roman really reacts. We're gonna see what happens now that they lost They're gonna most likely lose again in a couple weeks now They didn't regain the titles how Roman is gonna treat them and then we're gonna start seeing this dissension And I'm very very very interested in seeing how this plays out Now I want to give credit to this pretty cool idea a pretty interesting idea Jim cornet I was watching one of his episodes He was talking about the Paul Heyman segment or what not and the Brock Lesnar and Cody Rose situation I do think because this whole Brock Lesnar thing literally came out of nowhere. I do think it would be You know, well, he brought this up. Maybe Paul Heyman Is the reason is the one that contacted Brock? About attacking Cody Rhodes after WrestleMania Maybe they they had a conversation, but Roman doesn't know that and if you guys have been paying attention Roman asked Paul Heyman. Did you know? That that was gonna happen. Like did you know that Brock was gonna be the That Brock wanted to team up with Cody like he asked him if you guys remember that the Monday night Raw After mania he asked him and then every week after that people have been asking Paul How much did you know that Brock was gonna attack Cody? And I think that would be another way that we really drive home that the bloodline is is not as tight as it was because Paul Heyman potentially may not have even told Roman about Brock You know attacking Cody and you would think he would need to know that Roman would be like whoa, you know I'm saying you need to let me know if you're about to do something like that and You know, he would feel like he couldn't trust him And I think that would be another interesting way because if you're gonna go all the way with it If you're gonna go with the whole bloodline falling apart Paul Heyman needs to be a part of that as well Paul Heyman needs to be someone that you know ultimately may break away from Roman as well Not just you know the family and then Paul stays by his side. No Paul is a slimy individual So it would make sense You know, he's looking out the best interest for Roman Reigns and Roman Reigns could be like bro I didn't need Brock's help.  You know like that could be a an interesting story line that they do You know, if you want to really bring it home that everybody at some point is gonna be leaving Roman You know, I'm saying whether Roman kicks them out or whether they leave on their own So I do want to give credit to Jim Cornyn. I know a lot of you guys don't Listen to him or prefer to you know Check out the stuff, but I did see that clip And I thought that wasn't actually pretty interesting Interesting take maybe Paul Heyman has more to do with Brock Lesnar being behind this whole situation But other than that man, let me know down below. Did you guys enjoy it this week smack down? I didn't get a chance to check out most of it But I did want to check out that part because I do feel like that was a very good way to subtly tell the crowd Romans really pissed at Jimmy and Jay and they gotta win this match which they most likely won't and it's gonna cause some more friction and the Decline of the bloodline will continue going for it. That's the only Somewhat positive thing about Roman having the titles is this storyline is happening the way it is It still could have happened without them having the titles all of them But it's happening this way for a certain reason so Roman can now really be an asshole to his family the people That's helped him retain those titles. So it's gonna be interesting to see how that play out But I appreciate all love and support roll 250k and I am still you under speed of YouTube wrestling champion the world Appreciate talking to me. See y'all next one. Peace


and when we get over there, we're gonna spray. Okay, we're gonna engage. Yep. Butter to do, you know that? All right, let's go with it. Okay. Ooh. What time right now?

Hey everybody, Dr. O here. In this video, we're going to cover the three phases of HIV infection. So just real quickly, I'll get them out of the way. Phase one, either going to be asymptomatic or if you have any symptoms, it would be chronic swollen lymph nodes, chronic lymph adenopathy. Phase two is just going to be this persistent decline in health that happens as your immune system gets weaker and weaker. So you're just going to be no specific infections, but it's more likely to get infections, this type of things. We'll talk about what are known as constitutional symptoms in just a little bit near the end here. And then at phase three, we'll talk about how when an HIV infection actually leads to AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and that'll be phase three. So I'll start here at the beginning. So after this primary infection, you'll see what's known as acute HIV syndrome. So the virus is winning right away. You can see the CD4 T cell population plummets while the viral load gets really high. And that's because it takes the serial conversion process, it takes up to three months to get the full antibody response to the virus. And then once that happens, then you'll see the opposite. Now the viral load is going to drop and the CD4 population is going to go back up. First of all, because there's less viruses killing them, but also your body will make and clone more CD4 positive T cells. So that's why you see, so in the beginning, the virus is definitely winning. But then after a few weeks up into three months, when you see this full antibody response from your immune system, now you'll see the CD4 T cell count climbs back up a bit, the viral load drops down quite a bit, but then you see this slow, steady decline in T cell population. So you may not have any problems. If you do, you just kind of have a weaker immune system than you would expect for someone of your age, et cetera. But every day, some of these viruses are picking off more and more of your CD4 positive T cells, your helper T cells. That's why you see this slow, steady decline into the years where the CD4 T cell count is dropping. So again, phase one, there really won't be any symptoms. If there are any, it'll be the chronically swollen lymph nodes, because that's where these CD4 positive T cells are being cloned. So your body's fighting off the virus the best that it can. During phase two, what they call here, this classic latency, you're just seeing for some reason, you've just got a weaker immune system than you should have. And then we're reaching a point where near the end of that, you're going to start to see what are known as constitutional symptoms. That's going to be things that can affect the entire body, fever, night sweats, chills, weight loss, these types of things. And then we get into the territory where you now have AIDS. And it's very, very important to note when this happens. So an HIV infection leads to AIDS when your CD4 positive T cell count drops below 200 that you can see on the chart. So once that number is under 200 or under what's 14% of normal, so the 200 is the most important number there, but it's also, that's another way to look at it. So once you reach a CD4 T cell count of 200 or below, you now have AIDS. And that's where, as you can see on the right-hand side of the chart, the opportunistic diseases are going to show up. So I have a list of some of them I'll show you in just a moment. But these will be diseases that shouldn't impact someone with a normal immune system or at least not the same way. Let's go and look at a few of those and then we'll come back and see the end of this. So just I'm going to just pick out a few of them here like toxoplasma, Gondii. So this is only immunocompromised people should have a problem with this. There are many people that have been infected with this organism, but your immune system walls it off and doesn't cause any problems. But if you're immunocompromised, it can lead to encephalitis, the inflammation swelling in the brain, sadomegalovirus. So most humans have been exposed to it. It usually causes no problems or maybe a mild fever for a few hours. But if you don't have a strong immune system, as you can see here, fever, encephalitis, blindness, even death, those would be good examples. Tuberculosis with mycobacterium tuberculosis. Obviously, many, many people are infected with that that have normal immune systems. But if you have HIV or AIDS, it appears to be worse. And also this is where we think some of the drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis are basically incubating in AIDS patients. So hard to say for sure, but I've seen that from multiple sources. Just a few more here. We talked about pneumosis a little bit in the history of HIV video. Use infections can become a problem. Kaposi sarcoma is one of the ones you hear the most often with AIDS patients.  So these are all common examples. Let me just jump back to that first image. So those would be the examples of the opportunistic diseases that are attacking an AIDS patient because they're immunocompromised. They don't have a strong immune system. And then finally, the death. So what kills an AIDS patient is an AIDS. It's the fact that their immune system is gone. So I remember when I was a kid, there was someone named Pedro on one of the real world shows on MTV. And he, at the end of that show, his TESO count was zero. So the virus can completely eradicate your helper T cell population. And they're needed to mount a T cell or cellular immunity response and your B cell, antibody mediated response. So any infectious agent, or organisms that aren't normally pathogens can kill someone without an immune system. So that's what leads to the death there at the end.  So the first test, the test that most people would do first would be the ELISA test to look for HIV antibodies. But like I mentioned earlier, that can take up to a few months. So let's say you're working in a healthcare environment, get a needle stick injury, like you're going to be tested, but they're also going to want to test you again in a few months. And then a confirmatory test. So the antibody test is a good place to start, but a confirmatory test would be either the Western blot or what's now called the aptema, which is an RNA test, but because HIV is an RNA virus, that's looking for the actual virus. So to me, the first test you would do would be to look for the antibodies with the ELISA, then you would confirm by actually looking for the virus. Okay. All right, so those are the phases of HIV infection as well as some just basics about how to diagnose the disease. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


Today, we're taking a look at Freddy vs Jason vs Ash number one from Wild Storm Comics and Dynamite Entertainment, so stay tuned. Welcome back to Come Again TV, we're all geek culture collides and if you're new to the channel make sure and hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out on future episodes. This is the comic talk series where we take a look at individual issues, remove the text and dramatically read it back to you in our own words. At the end of each issue, we then give you our thoughts on it and let you know if we recommend buying a copy or not. Today, we're taking a look at Freddy vs Jason vs Ash number one of six by Wild Storm Comics and Dynamite Entertainment from November of 2007, created by Wes Craven, Victor Miller and Sam Raimi, written by James Kaharik and Jeff Katz with art by Jason Craig. It's December 2005, it's been five years since Freddy Krueger tried to manipulate Jason Voorhees into bringing him back after the children of Springwood forgot about it. Five years since their epic battle which saw Jason eventually decapitate Freddy at Camp Crystal Lake. Five years since Will Rawlins and Laurie Campbell escaped that horrendous massacre. Crystal Lake has been renamed to Force Green in order to attempt to erase their terrifying history and the memory of two of their past residents.  The people of Force Green have done their best to conceal their dark path, paved new roads, build lakeside condos and even constructed a new, super mega-S mark. Will and Laurie are on their way back to where it happened. Laurie keeps getting this feeling deep in her gut that Jason and Freddy aren't gone, like they somehow managed to survive and she needs to go back to make sure Will on the other hand sees it as tempting fate. To him it's a bad idea, they survived after all and going back just feels wrong, but he loves her and he won't let her go alone.  When they stop to have a look around Laurie finds blood on one of the trees and when she turns around, Will is gone. There are footprints, someone else was there and took Will away. She follows the tracks, stumbling up the hill of snow and discovers a pool of blood in the doorway of one of the condos nearby. Upon entering she sees him. Her love, her childhood sweetheart, the only other person to survive that night five years ago was dead. He'd been gutted and hung from the upstairs balcony, overcome with grief. She doesn't notice there standing behind her with a machete in hand as Jason Voorhees ready to add to his kill count and finish what was started five years earlier. He swings his blade down at her, but it catches on the wall and she manages to evade him. But as she runs, Jason grabs a metal barb and launches it at her, catching her in the shoulder. She pulls it out and continues to run. She manages to get upstairs and vows that she's going to kill them once and for all. She'll make them both pay for killing her love. She stumbles to the attic where she finds a skillsaw and cuts through Jason while at the same time dodging his advances. I actually felt sorry for you what Freddy did to you, what those sadistic kids and irresponsible camp counselors did to you, but you just keep killing.  When will it be enough Jason?  With that she manages to knock him out the third floor window and down to the ground, but she's not done. Not by a long shot. She has to finish it before he can kill again. It was their destiny to survive. It was her destiny to survive, but you can only outrun the reaper for so long. Because when she opens the door, there's Jason greeting her with a machete to the skull.  He's finished it. No loose ends. The last of the kids from the night five years ago are dead, but Freddy's still around. Back at Jason's house, his little ramshack in the woods. He keeps his trophies and there on a table next to his mother's head. He keeps the head of Freddy Krueger as a reminder, but Freddy didn't die. He just returned to the dream world. He's been waiting all this time to torture Jason even more. He's trapped in Jason's dreams. Jason's consciousness is transported into that world, where he's reminded of how the children at camp called him freak. Reminded of how the counselors were too busy having sex to notice him drowning. He makes his way to a cabin where he hears moaning, more sex. But this time it's Freddy going to town on Jason's mom. Jason, my baby boy. You need a daddy. He'll make sure no one picks on you anymore. You need to go back to our old house and find a very special book. It's buried deep in the cellar. Find the Necronomicon, free Freddy from your mind prison, and give yourself a second chance. We then come to a 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal, driving the car is the narrator of the story. It's been 16 years since Ash Williams fought the army of darkness. 16 years since the last time he saw that evil book, The Necronomicon X Mortis. The Book of the Dead, written in blood on pages made of human flesh. It can summon the dead, grant limitless power, and command demons from hell. It can rid Jason of Freddy once and for all, and make Jason into a real boy. It's what's allowed Jason's soul to move between bodies in the film Jason Goes to Hell, and what allows Jason to continuously return from the grave. Ash has been called to the new Forest Green S Mark in order to give his retail expertise as the senior housewares domestic engineer from Detroit to a team of teenage slacker employees who want nothing more than to goof around and make some easy cash for the holidays. Ash is the chosen one. Unlike Will Rollins and Laurie Campbell, Ash didn't just survive once or even twice. Ash has survived a barrage of dead-eyes who attacked his cabin after he and his friends ignorantly read from the Book of the Dead.   The dead-eyes nearly had him, but in one desperate act to survive, Ash removed his dead-eyed infested right hand and replaced it with a gas-powered chainsaw and took up a second weapon which he dubbed his Boomstick. He survived being sucked into a vortex created by the Book which launched him back in time to 1,300 AD Europe. He survived doing battle with an evil version of himself and an invasion of dead-eyes skeletons. He even somehow managed to make his way back to present day. He is the chosen one. No one else. But it wasn't always this way. He had a real life once, but that was a long time ago, in an S-mart far, far away.  Did you guys think of this issue? Personally I enjoyed it. I liked how they connected Freddy vs Jason to Jason Goes Hell and the Evil Dead films. I'm not entirely sure why they felt it necessary to open with Will and Laurie returning to Crystal Lake. They could have just as easily made it where Jason tracked them down like a blood-thirsty canine like in Friday the 13th part 2 or even Jason takes Manhattan. Why did they feel it necessary to bring the two back to Crystal Lake? One other thing I wish the creative team had done is spend a little bit more time building up to Ash's introduction. They could have had a few panels focus on the Delta 88 driving down the road before showing the inside of the car. They could have shown Will and Laurie pass the Delta on the road or even show the Delta driving past the store with the Jason graffiti on it. Just in the opposite direction, just after Will and Laurie. They could have broken away from the scene just after Laurie discovers Will's footprints and the struggle and show another panel of the Delta driving down the snowy road and then cut back to Laurie's doubling up the hill. They could have cut back to the Delta just after the panel where Laurie begins running up the stairs and then cut back to the very next panel. They could have added a panel of the Delta going down the snowy road directly between Laurie reaching the top of the stairs and Jason reaching her while she has the skillsaw behind her back. Comic books should be treated as mini movies, especially if there are mini series, which was originally meant to be a film built up to the hero and then reveal him in the final panel. Don't tell a complete story and then introduce him in the last few pages. That's just lazy. They add another chance to focus on the car in another panel just after Jason fell out the window, which would have helped the timing and building the suspense, but instead they jumped right into one panel of Laurie rushing down the stairs, one panel of Laurie opening the door and one panel of Jason attacking her as she opens the door. Then in between the panel where Freddy's face appears in the sign on the door and the next page which focuses on the forest green Esmar, we could have seen another panel of the Delta. This issue should have really been treated like the introduction of doomsday in the death of Superman storyline, but instead of building up to the ultimate threat for the hero, build up to the hero who would face the ultimate threat. Once they did that, they could have had a few pages that were dedicated only to Jason and Freddy in the dream world. And then right after the panel showing the necronomicon, show the front view of the Delta pulling into the parking lot, follow that up with a rear shot of the Delta pulling into a parking space and finish it off with a shot inside the car of Ash Williams. And then in the very final shot as Ash walks through the parking lot, show Jason watching from the tree. Organizing issue number one like that would help build a suspense a lot more and help to introduce Ash and the importance of his car. Because in every Sam Raimi film, the Delta isn't just a car. It's a character in the film as well. The Delta 88 is just as important to the story as Ash or his chainsaw or his boomstick. Even though I had my problems how issue number one was pieced together, I will say that overall, it wasn't a bad read. They could have made a few changes to it before it went to print and I feel that had Sam Raimi had a hand in developing the story, he would have probably pieced it together just as I stated. Make it just as much an Evil Dead story as a Freddy vs. Jason story from the beginning. But that's only my thought. Let me know yours in the comments below. Until next time, when we take a look at Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash number two. I'm Shannon for Comic-Gadden TV. We're all geek culture collides. Take care.


Alvin and the Dead Monks. Hey guys, real is the game here and today we're gonna be playing this Alvin and the Chipmunks horror game Now as we can see by this title screen, this game can be awfully scary or just awfully horrible overall, but it is what it is and let's uh let's see how to play. Oh, we got a little story. Dave is dead. The Chipmunks have murdered him and turned his home into a broadcast station to spread evil things to their fans. Find all eight microphones and stop the evil Chipmunks from brainwashing their fans. All right, so that is quite some story man. R.I.P. Dave by the way. Okay, so it says Alvin will hunt you down. If you approach it, you turn off your flashlight and do not move until it leaves. Okay, that kind of reminds me of SCP the uh peanut SCP. Then it says Theodore will slowly walk towards you. You cannot stop him. Just try to maintain a large distance. All right, and Simon will randomly possess one room at a time. If he is in the room, do not enter it until he leaves. All right, so it seems like we can't be in the same room as Simon because he will oof us. All right, so let's begin. All right, cool. Loading Chipmunks. Oh great. So now we're gonna have to survive some demonic Chipmunks. Nice. Begin game. Oh, okay begin game. Thank you. Miss robotic lady voice. Okay, what do we have here? Did I hear them already? Oh, okay, so it seems like there's a lot of memes around the house. That's Theodore. Oh my god. Okay, now let's go the other way. Okay, okay, that looks like an exit or something. Dude, there's a, oh Naruto. Cool. Okay, so it seems like there's a bunch of memes around the house, which is kind of weird. Oh man. All right, oh Sasuke. Oh my god, not the cat. What's up Sasuke? Seems like you're going through it right now, my boy. All right, let's keep it moving. Oh Roblox Minecraft. Dude, that is so scary. Kind of creep me out. RipX, by the way. You will be remembered the young legend. All right, what is this? A playground? Oh my god, they're giant PNG pictures of the Chipmunks and they got that drift. Okay, what is going on here? Why is this playground so oversized? It's so weird. Okay, so apparently we're supposed to find eight microphones and I have yet not found one. Great. Seems like we're doing pretty good if you ask me. Yo, well, it's just like zooming by. Good thing he left. See you later, Chipmunk. Okay, yo, what the heck is going on? Okay, hold on a little bit. Dude, that thing has like a mind of its own. Oh my god, there's blood on the floors on the walls. Okay, seems like, oh Big Chungus.    Okay, is that from JoJo? JoJo? I forgot that. What is that anime? I don't know, man. Oh my god, no, he's coming back this way. Okay, it's hard to tell. I thought he was coming back to us, but he's going the opposite way. Um, okay, maybe we'll find a microphone. Oh, microphone. Microphone. Okay, that is kind of scary. Okay, so we do not only have one, but two Chipmunks chasing us right now. Dude, just stop. Get away from me, man. Okay, uh, so far, so good. We got one. Hey, that's Toby McGuire. That is Spider-Man. That is my Spider-Man. You will always be the Spider-Man. Okay, dude, why is there giant T-Kettles here? It's kind of weird. Microphone. Okay, the microphone. Oh, what is that? What is that? Why do I hear like some weird noise? Okay, think the more microphones you collect, the more intense the game gets, guys. Okay, Theodore is right behind us. Oh, what is this? Oh, cool. Microphone. Do they try turning on my flashlight, but it was too late? All right, you guys, we're halfway there. And this game is no joke, bro. Like the more microphones you collect, the more intense it gets and the more creepy stuff you start hearing.  I can't concentrate right now. Come on. Oh, no, please don't get me. Dude, he's going like super fast. Oh, great. Dude, I only got four microphones. So intense. No. Oh my god, he just passed us. Oh my god. Okay, we need three more. Michael Jackson. Dude, that was literally like my only shot at beat the game. I just blew it. I mean, I couldn't do anything. I was surrounded by these two rats or chipmunks, whatever they are. Oh god. How are you so quick? Yes. Okay, now we just need to find the exit. Yes, exit. Once you find the eight microphones, you need to run to the exit while you're still getting chased. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Dude, he's running behind me. He's so fast. Where's the exit? Yes. This is how we get this lame loading end screen. You did a great job. You took microphones away from the evil chipmunks.  Very good job. Do not question this game, your actions or this message. Very good. Dude, this has to be the worst ending to a game. Like you have no idea. I was like stressing so bad because I got to the last microphone and I died so many times. Dude, this is a very horrible game. It's one of the worst, horrible, hardest games I've played. That makes any sense to you guys, just to put it in a sense. It's the worst, horrible, hardest game I've ever played. All right, you guys. Well, that was Alvin and the Deathmunks. I have no words for this game except that it made me very angry a couple times here and there. I really didn't enjoy playing it, but I mean, I played it. It is what it is. I really beat it. I will see you all in the next one. Bye.


This is Chris Pike. Not for its come a big see. Back in action today. I want to talk to you about Liverpool. That's right. Not the city. I'm talking about the football club over there in England. Well, here's the thing. Their manager, who by the way, has won lots of silverware and done an amazing job over the years. Well, he basically said today that he's going to be leaving Liverpool football club at the end of this year. Sometime in June, I believe. And the reason why I'm talking about that is I want to show you how to use the heartbeat tool, which of course, you can download or use at h.ki. Feel free to follow along with me.  Don't get me wrong. But I want to show you the most important parts in my opinion. And again, I'm a casual. I'm not a huge, you know, football fan. I love I watch it. But from North America, and I call it football, not soccer. So here's my opinion. And here are the moments that I found best during his interview. And again, using the heartbeat tool, let's go. All right. So let's do this. So here is the interview by Jurgen Klopp. You'll see here. I'm on h.ki. And of course I've got heartbeat installed. And these are the moments that I've identified as my favorite and the most poignant parts of his 26 minute interview. So let's just kick it off here and start right at the beginning. I believe the club at the end of the season. There it is. The words that a lot of people over there didn't want to hear. And I understand the guy won a lot of titles, a lot of silverware. Well, there it is. So there's the most important part of the whole video in my opinion. And that's right at the beginning. So let's keep going. A lot of people are wondering why he's leaving and he leaves. He leaves a couple of responses throughout the interview. But let's go to his first one right here. What can I say that I'm running out of energy. There you go. I have no problem now. Obviously, I think I know it already for longer. So in a nutshell, he's known for a while now, but he's running out of energy. He's been doing this for 24 years, I believe he said during the interview.  And I mean, Will, I'm okay. I'm healthy. So as much as you can in my age, there you go. So he doesn't have any sickness. A lot of people quit because they've got to go get treatment or they've got some sort of illness. Juergen does not. So that's another great thing that he mentions during the interview. Let's skip forward a little bit. And let's go to the three minute mark. He talks about how last season was hard. For me was super, super, super important that I can help to bring this team back on the rails. So there you go. So that was one of the reasons why he stuck around. He mentions that, you know, a lot of managers, if they had a hard year, even if they have like five to seven weeks of difficulties, often the hangman often comes from them. But it didn't come for him, of course, because he's had lots of success. And obviously, he's a very good dude. But yeah, his job this year, he, he mentions he wanted to get a team back on track. So there you go. So let's move forward a little bit. He talks a little bit about, will there be negative impact over the rest of the season? But let's go ahead and click forward to what he thinks about his time at Liverpool. This is awesome. My, if you look at my, my career, this career is actually not possible, I would say, because when I'm coming from ending up as the manager of Liverpool FC, it's a fairy tale and a very difficult thing to plan, I would say impossible to plan and difficult to reach. But it's only possible if you are very busy and 100,000% committed to everything you do when you dedicate your whole life to it. So there you go. So when he says that he's running out of energy, let's keep that in mind that to get jobs like these big guys get.  In fact, you got to get it, dedicate your whole life to it. So, so there you go. Now let's read one of the reasons why he wants to leave here. He talks about right now in a few seconds. So let's click on that one here. And I came here as a, and I sat in the first day as a, as a normal, as a normal guy. I am still a normal guy. I just don't live a normal life for too long now. And I don't want to wait until I'm too old for having a normal life. So there you go. You heard it directly from him. He's been, like he said, he's been doing this for a long time. He dedicated his whole life to it. And now he just wants to step back and have a year, maybe, maybe longer of just having a normal life. So you got to give the guy, you got to give him some slack for that one here in terms of his commitment for the year. Let's click on the next link here. I'll show you what he talks about in terms of the rest of the year. In it, and I am, I am, nobody has to worry about my mindset. I just hope that I really, it would be really cool if you just could accept my decision as a difficult one, but the right one. So like he says, he's in it for the whole year.  And you know, the guys, the guys on the touchline running all the time just screaming and he's the real deal. So I mean, there's no doubt about that one here. Let's go forward a little bit further. He gives a nice sports car analogy. And this is a really good moment I found. And of course, again, using heartbeat, links in the description below. Let's kick on this one. With I am like a proper sports car, not the best one, but a pretty good one can still drive 160, 170, 180 miles per hour. But I'm the only one who sees the technicals going down. The outside world doesn't see that. That's good. So you go as long as you have to go, but then you need a break. So there you go. If you haven't been convinced yet, the sports car analogy I found that was also a pretty good part of this interview. And again, and a lot of people are questioning, will he work as a manager ever again? He addresses that question right here. Let's skip forward and heartbeat here. If you ask me, will you ever work as a manager again? I would say now. No, that will feed because I never had the situation. But I know definitely I will never, I will never ever manage a different club in England and Liverpool 100%. That's not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is so big I couldn't couldn't for a second think about it. It's no chance. This is part of my life, part of my family. We are we feel home here. There's no chance to do that. So there you go. If you're worried that he's going to join another club or he's going to take another club in the Premier League and you're going to be up against them. I mean, you got to take his word on this.  So those are the highlights or the heartbeats in my opinion for this, for this interview. Of course, again, I'm not I'm a little bit of a casual. So if you found other parts in it that you thought were more important or parts I should have highlighted, please leave a comment below. Let me know what you think. Download the tool. I got a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
