iPhone 17 Pro Max Review

Speaker 1 1:11

I have in the future next year, I have to be watching dogs. My mom and my sister are going to Jamaica and my mom I have in the future next year I have to be watching Dogs. My mom and my sister are going to Jamaica and my mom I talk to my mother every day, every day, to see if she's good. I call my sister and my sister's like oh yeah, I'm taking Ma to Jamaica, you gotta watch the Dogs. And I was like Ma didn't tell me that. And she was like like Ma didn't tell me that. And she was like Ma didn't tell you that. And I was like hell, no, I was like I called and I was like Ma, I talk to you every day. Why didn't you tell me that I always had to watch your dogs? And she was like oh, I thought.

Speaker 1 1:50

I told you and I was like no, you didn't, you did not tell me, so I'm gonna have three dogs in my house. That's going to be interesting. But other than that, honestly I've been enjoying my weekends, just cleaning and just chilling. Really just getting just chilling my weekends, not really having to do shit, because every day I'm up in the office until 12 and then coming back home and then working, you know, got to enjoy those days. So that's what we've been up to. Really Haven't been really doing too much of gaming or anything. You know, just been on YouTube and shit Watching people talk about the Demon slayer movie, seeing clips of the demon slayer movie, and kind of been sitting and thinking have you ever seen it yet, have you?

Speaker 1 2:45

technically, I have seen part of it, yeah yeah, it's the funny thing it how can I put this in a way that it sounds good? I I understand you want to make money off of this shit and you did. You made a lot of fucking money, especially in America. You made a lot of fucking money. But I have a friend that went to go see it and she told me it was good, but it was a two. It's a two hour long movie and I don't care. I gonna say this if, whatever you guys, it's been out for a minute now and it still ends on like a cliff, what it's still, I don't know why you were good.

Speaker 2 3:30

I don't know why you expected any different it's just, it's just come the fuck on.

Speaker 1 3:35

I mean, you and I both know you and I both remember when Demon Slayer came on the scene and that shit was everywhere, everywhere, and we talked about this. The motherfuckers that read the manga were ahead of the curve and they knew characters that we haven't been introduced yet. And the first time I remember this, the first time I saw a character that I didn't know it was the snake motherfucker, the nigga that has the serpent breathing shit, and I was like who the fuck is that? I saw somebody at a con walking around and that nigga thought he was hot shit. Look, that motherfucker thought he was hot shit. He said, oh, I know, none of y'all niggas know who I am, I know, so I'm just gonna keep that to myself and let y'all just you know, you know how you see.

Speaker 1 4:35

Uh, nowadays people post like an anime, like like a clip from an anime or something. I'm like an anime's coming to, like a manga is coming to become an anime, and somebody might post something from that shit and they'd be like, oh man, y'all don't even know yet, y'all don't even know yet. I be like shut the fuck up, like shut up, we get it like I remember when chainsaw man came out and people were like, oh man, y'all, y'all gonna be crazy for chainsaw man. Okay, that's cool, rats, you know what I'm saying. Like that's dope, I get it, that's cool. But uh, honestly, demon slayer kind of I was telling that same person. I think that I'm not gonna say the cosplays are gonna go away, but it's definitely gonna be. I kind of wonder if demon slayer is gonna be one of those animes that people like, 10 years down the line, when it's done, are you going to see people bringing that cosplay back, or is it going to be one of those animes that's just like back there, like it's just there?

Speaker 2 5:48

good question and I think it's going to be based on the popularity of it, like when it ends. Because you gotta think about, like the classics that we have, like there's still dragon ball cosplays, one piece cosplays, enemies that have been around for like ever, like even a bit, like even sometimes I still see like spike cosplays, right yeah so I think it's going to depend on the popularity and like how, how people view it in the future.

Speaker 2 6:19

So, like, is it going to be one of those animes that people consider like oh man, that was just a classic. Like, or is it going to be one of those animes that just like feels those out and like the niche people? Yeah, it was like. Yeah, I only watch early. Like you know, 20, 2020, you know animes, I don't I don't watch those new animes you guys watch like it is it's just.

Speaker 1 6:45

I think it's on that no, that's, that's, that's going to be, that's going to be a thing and, like you said, I do think demon slayer is it's never gonna go away because it's easy yeah, that's true, yeah, um but I do think, though it's just like if I were to say what another anime that I like was gun sword. Some people don't even know what the fuck that is right, I mentioned one of my favorite animes is d gray man.

Speaker 2 7:17

I know a lot of people don't know what the fuck that is trigon is one of my favorites I love right, right and but what but nobody really, yeah, knows about it like I, like shinshan, and like nobody really knows much about shen, shen.

Demon Slayer Movie Discussion

Speaker 1 7:33

So it's just like yeah, so it's just like yeah it, I, it's gonna be there. But I I just think the way that they kind of rolled out stuff and especially the way that they did their movies, it was it's it, it was just it's kind of annoying like the way that they did the way that they did their movies, like the one with I forgot the train joint, right, you do all of these episodes that you already did in the season and then you just combine the motherfuckers to make the movie Cool and people went to the theaters to see that shit, you get your money, whatever. I've only seen one anime movie and it was just a movie and it was about two years ago and it was blue giant. And when I tell you, I cannot find that motherfucker on the streaming service now, ever. It's probably out there for sure, but I cannot find it. And it was great that I saw that in the movie theater.

Speaker 1 8:39

It was awesome, it was like talk about it on the podcast yeah, it was like 15 people in that bitch, um, but it was a great movie. So, yeah, I mean that was a thought that I had when it came to just Demon Slayer as a whole and just like kind of new animes that are coming out. I wonder if, like animes are kind of in that same realm as video games, like they come out and people just go through them like used napkins, seriously like, and I think that's one of the reasons why animes still do like a weekly basis type shit, instead of putting everything out there at one time, unless it's on Netflix.

Speaker 2 9:23

Well, even Netflix even does the weekly shit sometimes for some shows For Sakamoto Day and Dan to Dan like they're weekly they don't come out all at once.

Speaker 1 9:35

Yeah. So I was like, okay, you know, I see why they do that, so they don't like have people just watching everything and just be done with it. But still, it's just something about that demon's way. Man, it's great, it's easy to watch, it's not too hard to get, you know, and it's just a good, easy anime for people to watch if they're coming into it, right. But anyway, other than that, I have been doing shit. And so today we know that iPhone here we go has come out with a new phone and our beloved special host, lexi, has treated herself to the new iPhone yes, guys, I got the new iphone.

Speaker 2 10:38

I don't. I don't know why he's trying to like hype this shit up like it's supposed to be, like wonderful and grand. It's not.

Speaker 1 10:43

No, it's not it's not trust me, I'm just doing this for just you know. Whatever it sounds good, it gets people going. So um, let me ask you this which iPhone did you get?

Speaker 2 10:58

If you're going to ask me that question, you really don't know me what did you get?

Speaker 1 11:02

I know you, I know, look, I know you, you don't know me. Yeah, I do All right.

Speaker 2 11:08

So like, let's get into it. Okay, you guys. If you don't know, I am an iPhone like person, okay, I'm an Apple person. If you don't know I am an iPhone person, okay, I'm an Apple person. Rest in peace, steve Jobs, anyways. So I've had pretty much every iPhone since the iPhone 3, okay, the major releases, not the S's and things like that. If it's a major release, I probably have it, and so I have bought. I don't like the smaller phones, even though I'm a small person. I don't, I don't. So I always get a Pro Max, I don't ever get the small ones. So this is what I got. I got an iPhone 17, excuse me me pro max in silver. I don't, I don't like the color. And don't ask me to take this case off. That's what he was laughing at at the beginning. You guys, I was trying to take it off the case, and it will not come out the case. It's kind of stuck in there now.

Speaker 1 12:06

So wait, I have a question yes did it come in a rose gold?

Speaker 2 12:11

no, let me, let me get into it. So, so, um, I always get the rose gold color or the purple color or the black color. Those are the colors that, like I go for right, so it, this one being silver, is uh yeah for me, because I don't like the light color phones like this, like it's. I had to slap the case on as soon as it got out. I was like, yeah, I'm not going to deal with it, but anyways. So in this one they only came in an orange, a midnight blue and the silver. That's the only three colors we have, and, yeah, that's the only three. Now, if you get like the, the regular little iPhone or whatever, they do have multiple colors, like a purple and other shit and that. But if you're going for the Pro, yeah, you're stuck with those colors, which sucks right for me. So I also upgraded and got the Apple Watch Ultra 3 watch.

Speaker 1 13:16

Y'all look when she go out. Yo she really be, she be going out, man okay.

Speaker 2 13:21

So, um, no, because these are not things that I upgrade every year. Don't let him like no, no, no, yeah, but um, I, at least for my watches, I upgrade them like every two years, every years. It was just time for me to upgrade my Ultra because I wanted the black one last year, but I was like I'll just wait till they do a three. So they did a three and I was like, okay, I want the black one so I can get the black phone and like we match, no, no, black phone. So like, I literally am back to like not matching, I have a silver phone and a black watch, and before it was a silver watch and a rose gold, fucking iphone. So it's like whatever. Um, and I also got the pro max threes as well.

Speaker 2 14:08

Um, I really didn't need to upgrade those, but they did live translation and so I was like, yes, I need those just for that. And it does work. I did try it out when I got it. Um, I got everything friday. Everything came in pretty quick, um, so the live translation does work. I, I was watching muzzy. If you don't know what that is, it's like a little english, not english, but it's like a little learning cartoon for kids to learn different languages and I was watching the german one.

Speaker 2 14:37

Um, like I like to watch these on subtitles, so I'm watching it on YouTube and subtitles, and my phone is literally translating everything it says and it's matching like it matches, so it works. They don't have that many options like language options. Right now. They have, I think, french, spanish, german, italian Excuse me, yes, portuguese is one, and there's like one more language. They don't have Japanese. Soon as they get Japanese, though.

Speaker 1 15:08

He said soon as they get Japanese. Nigga, I'm on a plane.

Speaker 2 15:10

I'm on a plane. I'm going to Japan.

Speaker 1 15:12

I don't know what the fuck you talking about, Nigga. I'm over there. I'm going to Japan. I don't know what the fuck you talking about, Nigga. I'm over there. You might not see me again. What the fuck you talking about? I got my headphones.

Speaker 2 15:20

I got my headphones. They can translate for me Like we good.

Speaker 1 15:23

That's crazy.

Speaker 2 15:24

But yeah, it's not hard to set up. So, like, literally, you download, like there's an Apple app called translate, you download that, you put the things in and then, like, you just select the language that you wanted to translate to and it basically just does it. So it's really simple that's awesome.

Speaker 1 15:45

I was gonna ask you about that actually because I was wondering if that was like a gimmick or it was actually like actually pretty cool. When I saw it and heard about it, I was like that's probably the best thing that they did. I this whole like launch it. Honestly, can you hold up? Hold up your phone again for me that I don't know, look, which is. It's also weird too. It's kind of like um so remember that nothing phone that I showed you, that had that weird the weird cameras and shit like that. Okay, now that I see that, yeah that nothing phone.

Speaker 1 16:24

I actually like the nothing phone because that shit is big as hell and it reminds me of the google pixel and I don't know if that's. I know that they made that wide space so they can get a better camera in there. That was the whole point of it. That's what Apple does. They just upgrade the camera.

Speaker 2 16:44

Right. So yeah, it does have a better tele-zoom lens in here, so now we can go up to like 18, not 18, but 8 times zoom the telephoto lens.

Nostalgia for Sidekicks and Flip Phones

Speaker 2 16:55

They also took the physical SIM trays out of the US model, so they're completely a SIM they also, because they did that, they also put in a bigger battery as well. So that was the main reason I got it was because it has a bigger battery, has a better lens, and then they put a vapor chamber in here to like help with like heat dissipation. They also changed the body of it, so now it's like aluminum, so it has like small changes there. So like, if you've had like a 16 pro max, I wouldn't recommend you go to a 17 pro max. But if you, let's say, you have like a 15 or 14 and you want to upgrade, then like, definitely go ahead and do it. It's going to be a big like upgrade for you, like I said, I definitely understand it.

Speaker 1 17:45

I don't know, man, like I'm not a iphone user, love macbooks, love the way they are, love those, but just for the phones in itself it. It's just interesting to me that it seems like, like I said, when they're going, when that body style, when I saw that body style and I saw how you, if you lay that phone flat on its back, it's not flat, can't be flat. The camera has a little protrude inside of it has to be so. Then I wonder I know I know cases are gonna be crazy for it and stuff like that and all that shit. But I also wonder if they're gonna cater more to the smaller phones like you know, those cool anime cases that you have had and all that shit. Now, on the smaller ones, not the big ones, like that, it still has that same type of backing.

Speaker 2 18:49

No, they have a different backing, so the smaller ones only have two cameras on the back of them, so it doesn't. They have a different backing, so the smaller ones only have two cameras on the back All of them, so it doesn't have necessarily like this little island here. Yeah, this is just literally these two cameras right here.

Speaker 1 19:05

Yeah.

Speaker 2 19:05

There's no third camera so then you also have to get lens covers.

Speaker 1 19:16

Who gets lens covers? Huh, who gets lens covers? Nigga? Um, yeah, I got one on this. You see, like it's like right there and it covers the lens and stuff. Yeah, you see, this beautiful phone, it's phone, sexy as fuck. Um, so it's. I would think if I did get an iPhone, I would definitely get lens covers for it and also like a beefier case. I know you just needed a case to put on there for right now. You know what I mean and, like I said, this kind of also brought up the. Let me ask you this so if you could have any wish for, like Apple to do something, what would it be? Cause I have one, but I don't think a lot of people would agree with it?

Speaker 2 20:06

Oh, that's a good question. I don't. I don't really know, I think I think for me, I wish they would bring innovation back, and so what I mean by that is, like literally every phone so far, like they make small tweaks to the design. It's never a big leap in design change, and I would love to see a big leap in design change versus these small little tweaks. Technically, this still looks like an iphone x right, it doesn't. It does have tweaks. It doesn't look completely, but like, at the core, at its base, it looks like an iphone x, and that that has been some years ago. Like I want to say that's something that looks completely different out of the view, like. So I think that's my one big wish, that I wish they would do.

Speaker 1 21:05

My big thing would be. Now, I know that they have the iPads and stuff like that, but I actually wouldn't mind if they added some type of touch to their MacBooks.

Speaker 2 21:20

You mean like touchscreen?

Speaker 1 21:22

Yeah, I'm not saying like oh. Then people were like well, why don't you just go out and get a, uh, a macbook and I get that. But I don't know. I thought that would have been something they would have done like a long.

Speaker 2 21:35

I thought, to be honest with you, I thought they would have been the first motherfuckers to do that I mean and it says a sense in a way they did with the MacBooks that had the Touch Island in the middle. Yeah, those didn't do so well though I had one of those, but I mean it was there, but then again I don't think Apple was going to be like Microsoft and make Surface Pads that have keyboards or two-in-ones. That's not their thing. The closest thing you're going to get to a two-in-one is an iPad.

Speaker 1 22:08

Yeah, I totally agree with that. I get you with that. And let me just preface this. You guys, we are not. What's his name? Marquise Brown. I'm not going through specs, I'm not going through testing, none of that shit. All right, so let's just nip that shit in the bud. I'm just talking. I'm a person that likes tech shit and I like the way it looks. I like messing with it, so I'll be talking right now. So, if you want the technical stuff not really so, and I guess another big thing that came up was so samsung and um, I want to pronounce this right, yahweh, woway, okay, woway, they, woway has come out with a trifold phone.

Speaker 2 23:04

Yeah, I've seen those.

Speaker 1 23:06

It looks fucking gorgeous.

Speaker 2 23:09

Can we even use those in America?

Speaker 1 23:10

No, we can't use those in.

Speaker 2 23:11

America. I thought so we still can't use them.

Speaker 1 23:13

No Gorgeous phone. It's about five grand, right Damn near. It's a tablet, but it just trifolds. And samsung has their foldable phones. Motorola has the razor, which is foldable hello moto me personally. I don't think that was a great like I don't think that was a great innovation.

Speaker 2 23:42

I really don't I love those, oh yeah, but like I, I think when I was working at verizon, like at the tail end, we were starting to sell those samsung phones with like the flips and stuff and like people were having issues with them because the screens would go out or they would peel the screen like protector off and you're not supposed to, yeah, and so that would just stop me forever.

Speaker 2 24:07

Getting one was just like everybody was having issues with that and I don't really see the need of having a phone that like flips, like that. Like you really need something that big, like get a tablet, and samsung has like different size tablets. They have like the small tablets, they have the 10-inch tablets and I think they used to even have like a bigger tablet than that. Yeah, so like you have options there, you don't necessarily need something that is like quick.

Speaker 1 24:31

Yeah, if there was, this is going to sound crazy as fuck, but if they were to bring back some like shit from older phones, honestly, yo, I was just about to say that shit sidekicks was so sick. Yo, people that had sidekicks in high school, those shits were fire. They came in. Different sidekicks were so sick. T-mobile was in their bag like sidekicks were so sick. T-mobile was in their bag Like sidekicks were amazing.

Speaker 1 25:08

Like you just flip that bitch and that bitch does that little flip shit and you just get the tight. Oh my God.

Speaker 2 25:15

Because I remember in high school, like my best friend in high school, she had a sidekick. She had the, not the one that does like this, she had the one that is like. The screen went up, yeah, and you had a sidekick.

Speaker 2 25:23

She had the um, not the one that does like this she had the one that is like the screen went up and, yeah, board underneath, yeah, that one. And then, like my like, after I graduated my senior year, like my boyfriend at the time, he gave me money. He was like go get, go get whatever phone you want. And I was like cool.

Speaker 2 25:34

So I got a sidekick, like I did get one. I got the lte model and like I loved it for the time that I had it, but I I didn't keep it long because, like it just crashed on me and I was like, ah, nah, this is bad, let me go ahead and return this. And I want to get a Blackberry, but like I do miss that design. I do miss, like if you had one of those you were like the cool kid Because, like oh look, sidekicks were dope.

Speaker 1 26:05

See, here's the shits a lot of young motherfuckers. We kind of have an older audience, whatever, but back in the day if you had a sidekick and you had a clip and you can attach that bitch to the hip on any phone, if you were able to attach that motherfucker to the hip, that was cold, that was some cold shit. Sidekicks with sidekicks were dope. Nokia has some shit in their bag too, back in the day, not just like the little square boxy ones you talk about the engage yes, the end the engages.

Speaker 1 26:40

They in their bag. Yeah, nobody really liked them, but nope, in their bag nobody really liked them in their bag. You were playing like real disc games on the engage, like that was total fucking innovation. And then here's the shit. I hate using this word, but the YNs, the YNs. Let me tell you something YNs don't know. They don't know about the next L, where you push the button, the next L shirt.

Speaker 1 27:17

Yeah, the next L you push the button on the phone and that bitch flip open, right, they don't know about the walkie talkie shit. On the next. On the next on the next.

Speaker 2 27:26

Yeah, my god, they don't know. They don't know about that right, remember that, because my cousin had one mine did too.

Speaker 1 27:35

mine did too right, my cousin had one too. And this is before this is. Hold on, let me think about this. This is before Nextel got bought out by Sprint, so they were in their own shit. Right Back in the day, there were tons of phone services. Back in the day, there were tons of phone services back in the day, tons.

Speaker 2 28:06

next, the other day? Yeah, it was like next tail, all tail, the cell phone singular.

Speaker 1 28:13

Oh man, it was another one too, I forgot what it was but it was man, it, that sidekick. Look, I keep going to the sidekick, but that sidekick, that shit was still competing with iPhone.

Speaker 2 28:33

Excuse me, that was those. It was the Blackberries, it was Sidekicks and the Razer the original Razx and the Razor the original Razors and the Razors had the rainbow of colors red, green, orange like depending on what service you were with they had the limited edition colors right.

Speaker 1 29:01

So every parent had a Razor. The cases for the razors were ugly as shit. The cases for the sidekicks were ugly as shit. This is before. Hard cases were a thing like for real for real Like. And they actually were molded to the phone, right. So I had my favorite phone that I ever had was a Droid X. That was my favorite phone. It was a Droid X. I could do everything. This is when I got into my fucking like.

Speaker 2 29:35

Mine was a Blackberry Curve.

Speaker 1 29:37

I love the fucking Curve Going into that motherfucker changing the ROM on it Like. This is when I was like in it. This is when Verizon. Verizon used to sell used phones on off their website and you can buy them shits for like half the price. Yeah, it was a time man, but it's this is. And also, lg was making phones. Lg had a bad phone, the I hate. Lg had some of the ugliest phones. The only phone that lg had that was actually good was the um chocolate phone.

Speaker 1 30:22

Chocolate phones were disgusting. Um. Chocolate phones were nasty. They were disgusting looking phones.

Speaker 2 30:29

They were not that bad no, they were bad.

Speaker 1 30:32

It was one that they had that flipped up.

Speaker 2 30:35

You slid it up oh, are you talking about the envies?

Speaker 1 30:38

yes, yes, yes, the envies, damn I. Yes, yes, yes, the MVs Damn. I haven't heard that in a long time, right the juke.

Speaker 2 30:48

I hated those Ugly as shit, they were like this big yeah, and then they just like the loose part of it was just like.

Speaker 1 30:58

The biggest cell factor for that was that you can plug your headphones into it, and it was basically like a cell phone but also an iPod shuffle so you can listen to your music and shit.

Speaker 2 31:09

But see, Motorola already had that because they had the Moto Rockers.

Speaker 1 31:13

That could do that too.

Speaker 1 31:14

Yep, oh man. Cell phones used to be really like. It was a plethora of them and you had a variety to pick from. Nowadays, you still have that variety, but certain phones don't work in America. Right, and some of the best phones that some of the best phones usually don't work in America. I hate to say this, but those are some of the most Xiaomi phones. I love Xiaomi phones. I think they are really beautiful phones, but the only services that you're able to use Xiaomi with is AT&T and T-Mobile. That's it, because it hits the certain bands that you need in order to use it. Verizon Verizon pisses me off so much because I mean, you can always switch.

Speaker 1 32:08

Yeah, you can always switch, for sure, for sure, but it man Damn as soon as you. I was about to say sidekick, because I remember those shits like yesterday. Man, those phones were great phones. I never had one, but they just looked so fucking cool, so sick. Sorry, we're going back to memory lane. Man, this is what happens when you get older. Man, that was a time you had a cell phone in high school.

Speaker 2 32:46

Don't call me before nine.

Speaker 1 32:48

Yeah, oh man, send a text message Like don't call me because I got the free minutes and shit man.

Speaker 2 32:55

Or like because I had all tells, so I had that little circle of people. If you wasn't in that circle, I'm not answering your call because, no, you're not wasting my minutes.

Speaker 1 33:05

If you really want to take it back. I think about this often, so I don't think a lot of people even know what AT&T was called before it changed its name Singular Right.

Speaker 1 33:17

I don't know. I don't think people know what Verizon used to be before they changed their name. Verizon used to be before they changed their name. Verizon used to be Bell Atlantic and Bell Atlantic used to do these commercials with James Earl Jones on the commercials. You can look these up on YouTube. Yo, they were sick commercials. It's James Earl Jones. They're sick. But yeah, like Jesus Christ man.

Speaker 2 33:42

Or what T-Mobile was also before it came like T-Mobile here and like where I live, it was Suncom, and then T-Mobile came.

Speaker 1 33:53

I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 33:54

I didn't know that.

Tesla Features and Driver Safety

Speaker 1 33:55

Shit it. That is a time, man, man, that's the time, okay. So so, uh, I can, I can remember. So one thing I was going to ask you was do you think that? So, do you think, apple being their innovative self, wanting to get more into innovation and stuff, do you think they would actually be the first cell phone, electronic whatever, to make a car?

Speaker 2 34:31

You know they're already working on that right.

Speaker 1 34:34

Would you get one? You would be in the ecosystem.

Speaker 2 34:37

I mean I'm already in the ecosystem. What the fuck you mean. I have an ecosystem. I mean I'm already in the ecosystem. What the fuck you mean. I have an iPad, I know, but the iPhone.

Speaker 1 34:43

But you would be in it all. Once you get the car, you'd be in it all.

Speaker 2 34:49

Technically? No, I still need the studio, like the VR headset. I considered it, of course you did. I gotta wait for a few more model revisions on that before I get that. It depends it really depends on pricing. It depends on the features that it has. It depends on how much information it takes, like the phone and using in the car.

Speaker 2 35:22

uh, it just, it's just stuff like that that I would think about it before I did it. But then again I have a freaking tesla which, yeah, well, yeah, so it's just like I don't know. But if they did it and it was reasonably priced and it had self-driving and you know it was safe and I would consider it, yes, I probably would do it at that particular point. But I don't know, I think they would try to be the first.

Speaker 1 36:01

Cause I don't.

Speaker 2 36:02

I don't think I've heard Samsung saying that they're trying to make like, do an automation or anything of that nature with cars.

Speaker 1 36:09

So they could. Now, I could definitely. I mean they make Samsung, makes fucking washing machines and microwaves and fucking refrigerators and all that I will never get one of those. No, me either. Funny thing is, I have a Samsung refrigerator. That's about it. I only have a Samsung refrigerator. I will not get their wires.

Speaker 2 36:27

I will get their washers, I won't get their refrigerators. I know people that used to work at a center here that does Samsung maintenance and stuff for their stuff. No, I won't do that, but I do have a Samsung monitor. I actually do have a Samsung phone that I use as a secondary, so they do make some really good products. Yeah, I mean, I just wouldn't get a Samsung card. I would get an Apple card, though, of course you would. I do think actually it was something else too. Yes, we are actively supportive of that?

Speaker 1 36:58

yes, we're not. She is before me. I was going to ask you about I don't know if other people do this I watch a lot of car shit and I watch a lot of people getting into accidents and stuff like that, right. The one thing that I see often it's always a douche bag, either in a truck like big pickup truck, either a Ram, either a Chevy, for any pickup truck. You don't really see like a lot of Honda Riz lines and shit like that, right. But the other car that I see a lot of honda red lines and shit like that, right, but the other car that I see a lot of are teslas what about us?

Speaker 2 37:44

do you believe in that tesla stigma of like tesla drivers are like I don't care, I'm on the road, I know what I am, I know what I have all right, all right, no, no, I think people get the idea that like because, like, you've been in my tesla, you've seen it drive like do the full self, driving by itself, and you know that like it's great up to 80 of the time, but 20 of the time the bitch be wilding like she just she be doing.

Speaker 2 38:19

Some of the time the bitch be wilding like she, just she be doing some of the weirdest stuff and you're just like, why are you doing that? And I think it's people who have that like full reliance on it are the ones that be getting into accidents and things of that nature. But also a lot like mostly what I see a lot of is people hitting the car from the back and so, like I don't think the car has enough time to recognize like a, like somebody hitting it from the back, versus like in the front or on the sides or anything, because the cameras there are more placed so we can see it. It tries to swerve or veer off, so that does not happen. But you know it's those people that like no, no, I'm good, the car can drive itself. Or the ones that will literally buy like the weights and stuff and like wear the shades and the glasses, so like the awareness.

Speaker 1 39:17

can't see you there, and so like yeah, yeah, so the car has like an awareness.

Speaker 2 39:19

can't see you there and so like, yeah, yeah, so the car has like an awareness feature yeah and the cameras, and if you wear like a hat or like sunglasses, it can't see your, your eyes, to detect that you're looking at the road or not, and so the way to bypass that is they. They make a certain weight, um, that you can put on the steering wheel so that, because the car will like if it can't see you, it will ask you to put your hands on the wheel.

Speaker 1 39:45

Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 2 39:47

Yeah, right, so, but you put your hands on the wheel and so, like you put a weight there. Well, it just recognized that there's some weight there on the wheel and it will keep going and, like people will do some stuff, like be doing other shit and not paying attention, because they don't really have to pay attention. The car's doing everything, but they're not looking or seeing. And then by the time something happens, or she decides to make a wrong turn or she doesn't see something, it's already too late, because you were not paying a fucking attention to stop whatever's going to happen. So it's dangerous, yeah.

Speaker 1 40:25

It is dangerous. Jesus Christ, oh my god, that scares the fuck out of me, it scares the hell out of me. That's really dangerous, holy shit. I remember seeing a um video of I think it was a rapper or something and he was driving his cyber truck and it just cut off on him because tesla could do that.

Speaker 2 40:50

When I hear that, so it's not gonna automatically just like you're done. Okay, it depends on what the situation was like. Even in my car, if I use autopilot and I go too fast or it determines that like I need to take over, it will alert you. Like that bitch is loud, she's like and they start shaking the wheel to alert you that you need to take the fuck over. She's not going to automatically just like and like we're done, so like I don't know what he had going on, but it's not. It should have not just like cut off in the middle of traffic like that. It should have alerted him and, more likely, started to pull over and like put the hazards on, hey, get the fuck over, like yeah, type thing also speaking of tesla's that motherfucker disappeared.

Speaker 1 41:43

That motherfucker vanished. Like we don't look, this ain't a politics type shit, but that motherfucker, he just vanished. I haven't heard shit about him. You're talking about. Elon yes.

Speaker 2 42:02

He was at Charlie Kirk's funeral.

Speaker 1 42:04

Really.

Speaker 2 42:04

Yeah, and apparently him and Trump had a moment or whatever and talked Gotcha, but he's still around.

Speaker 1 42:12

He's still doing stuff.

Speaker 2 42:14

He announced that the next phase of Tesla was supposed to be the robots. That should be it. And then he announced that the next phase of Tesla was supposed to be the road or the robots. There those are. Should be it. So, um, and then, because of the tax credit and name, this month, he if you got a Tesla or you've been looking at one, they definitely have been pushing out those emails Like get your car before the tax credits in because yeah, so like I remember when you bought yours and you were showing me the the breakdown of it, so that credit is not gonna be a thing anymore.

Speaker 2 42:47

Holy, you will not get 7500, either tax back like taxes back next year or towards the car. So yeah, that is ending damn.

Custom Truck Mods and Podcast Milestones

Speaker 1 42:58

Yeah, man, get your electric car if you want to get that shit. Um, I am good with petrol. Um, I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think is there anything else? Oh, another thing I've been doing was just getting work done on my truck, like especially that interior. I got my cluster redone. Oh it's gorgeous.

Speaker 2 43:19

It's blue, it's pretty though.

Speaker 1 43:21

Got it in the ice blue Right, I'm going to do the rest of it.

Speaker 2 43:26

You know you should like, you know you should show the people on TikTok, you know yeah.

Speaker 1 43:30

I'm going to when I go to work tomorrow. I'm going to take it when it's actually dark outside and actually see how it really looks, but I plan on doing so in the Chevy truck. The left side of it has the 4x4 module and your lights and stuff like that and that's starting to fade. And now that I got that done, all that shit looks horrible. So it looks bad. So it was either go and send those out to somebody else, like in Texas, and he'll change the LED in it, or I learned something new, like I know how to solder stuff. It's just soldering a light bulb, a LED light, to the board. I know how to solder shit, it's easy.

Speaker 2 44:18

Are you?

Speaker 1 44:19

going to do it yourself. Hell yeah, I can go on eBay and buy the ice blue LEDs, all the ones that I need, and I can look, I'll make a day out of it. I'll get me some tea, got my laptop, play some YouTube videos and I'll just be in that bitch, just like. I get some helping hands to hold the board and I'm just in there just soldering, getting stuff together, taking it's like putting together a Lego set, like when I get a new Lego set. I make a whole day out of it. I eat breakfast, get me some mate. I have my cup and my what is it called? Embossed straw and I sip on my mate and I'm sipping on that. Put my Lego figurine together, got my book Might have some lo-fi in the background, just chilling, make a day out of it. So yeah, because I mean, because I mean for the honestly, I'd rather do it myself. I can take out each module as I need it and I don't have to wait. That's, that's the shit with getting this done.

Speaker 1 45:33

I had to ship it to atlanta, right, and there's nothing wrong with shipping that. Okay, the package that I sent you, right. I got a label from WorkMaid for UPS and I sent it on a Tuesday and it got to you Wednesday afternoon. Took a day. The people that I used for the cluster is sent. They used regular mail. So they sent me a return label because they needed to put the transmission gauge in there and I sent it back through UPS, went to my local post office. They didn't get that motherfucker till Friday and I sent it on Tuesday. Look, I've driven from North Carolina to Georgia.

Speaker 2 46:26

It ain't that fucking far.

Speaker 1 46:27

It ain't that fucking far, that place. Your package went to Mebane, north Carolina, and then from Mebane to where you are and I said, oh my god, that was so North Carolina, and then from Mebane to where you are, yeah.

Speaker 1 46:40

And I said, oh my God, that was so fucking fast. And you sent me the picture of what I sent you and I was like, damn, you got that quick, it was so fucking fast. Also, boris, I got something coming your way too, but it was so fucking fast, like it was just like I was. Like I was just like I get it. I get why UPS is great anyway. Um yeah, I've been just doing stuff on a truck. You know, I've been watching tons of videos on older Volvos and I really want to get that old one back up and running. I really, I'm really thinking by the end of the year I'm going to sell the black one and put that money into the old one.

Speaker 2 47:28

And just, but I helped you get that, like I took you to get that one.

Speaker 1 47:31

I know, I know, I know, and the funny thing is where you took me to go get it. I don't think I told you this, but the, the guy that sold me the car, he was like I, he, I. Of course I have to put my middle name on it.

Speaker 2 47:49

Yes.

Speaker 1 47:49

Right and he saw my middle name and he was like you know what? I just saw somebody with that same last name. We were, I think I told you we were in the area where my family is. That's where we were Like we were in the area where my family, that last name, comes from. So I was like I wouldn't be surprised if you did find somebody with that what's you know? My name, whatever, but um, I'm just thinking about it, just thinking about it. Um thinking about it, um.

Speaker 2 48:23

So yeah, man that's about it though um, are you gonna take a vacation?

Speaker 1 48:26

yeah, I am. I am where you going.

Speaker 2 48:28

I don't know yet um, but I need you to use your pto, sir, we we talk about it we tell these people to use their pto, but you ain't using your pto.

Speaker 1 48:34

Yeah, I will, I will, I will trust me. Um, we hit I know this is gonna sound kind of corny to y'all we hit 300 on tiktok. I think we hit almost 100 on instagram.

Speaker 2 48:51

I know it's not a lot, but we had 100 on on youtube as well yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 48:57

So and I look at the videos like underneath like my regular YouTube account and we do get pretty good views and stuff like that Because we have a lot of shorts.

Speaker 1 49:09

Yeah, oh my gosh Dude, we got like 300 fucking shorts. I'm just like spitting those shits out. But yeah, you know, you guys uh, always just look on the tiktok instagram and really don't do that well on facebook, though, which is I'm actually okay with that, um, but yeah, you know, we hit 300, so that's always great and we're gonna keep going and stuff. My big goal is to at least get to a fucking thousand so we can at least live stream on TikTok Jesus.

Speaker 1 49:44

Yeah.

Speaker 2 49:45

We can't.

Speaker 2 49:48

No, because they've changed that. It's not always a thousand anymore.
