Muted

[SPEAKER_01]: a factual data creation facility production. [SPEAKER_03]: In a world where some podcasts make millions of dollars, I bring you the OF&T podcast, which isn't one of them. [SPEAKER_03]: Now here's your host, Jim Schafer. [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to the OF&T podcast episode 325, which I'm calling muted. [SPEAKER_02]: That's the word I'm using to describe Apple's W-W-DC26. [SPEAKER_02]: The immediate tech press reaction kind of agreed with me.

[SPEAKER_02]: Or on this in the tech news section, of course. [SPEAKER_02]: This week I have the tiniest amount of non-apple news for ya. [SPEAKER_02]: But unless I'm mistaken, which I often am, Google is reading the new Pixel phone 11s for release. [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sure the tech press will be gearing up for that post-case. [SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's get started here. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, let's try it. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, right. [SPEAKER_02]: tech news.

[SPEAKER_02]: After the let down of WWDC26, there wasn't much tech news worth reporting on. [SPEAKER_02]: At least not much said I would find interesting. [SPEAKER_02]: But I did manage to scrape some news up so here we go. [SPEAKER_02]: The budget model of the Samsung Galaxy S series is the often overlooked Galaxy FE. [SPEAKER_02]: I guess you can compare the FE to Google's Pixel A series of phones except the FE is usually better.

[SPEAKER_02]: The FE stands for Fan Edition and occupies a dubious place within the Galaxy S lineup. [SPEAKER_02]: The FE is normally released after the higher-end models in lineup, and that's probably because Samsung uses the FE for a revenue bump in between releases of more popular and more expensive products. [SPEAKER_02]: Something akin to what Apple did with the iPhone SE and now does with the E-series iPhone.

[SPEAKER_02]: Some images of the galaxy as 26 if he had leaked some months ago, but 9-5 Google has come across an early listing of the product and published a real, not leaked photo ad foam. [SPEAKER_02]: What that photo reveals is a slightly modified design from the regular S26 models. [SPEAKER_02]: Mainly the rear camera bump, which has been moved closer to the top inside edges of the foam. [SPEAKER_02]: ES26FEs expect to be powered by a Samsung Exynos 2500, and comes standard with 8GB of RAM.

[SPEAKER_02]: The phone will run Android 17 upon its release, and Android 17 is the latest iteration of Android. [SPEAKER_02]: While the authors of the article didn't care for the new location of the camera bump, why so nothing wrong with it? [SPEAKER_02]: And I doubt most prospective buyers of this model will mind it to new a slightly different location. [SPEAKER_03]: Most consumers probably wouldn't even notice this change. [SPEAKER_02]: My point exactly.

[SPEAKER_02]: Usually the FE series is released in late August or early September, and we should expect the Galaxy S26 FE to stick with that release schedule. [SPEAKER_02]: From what I've heard, the biggest gripe with the FE series is that it's cost is too high. [SPEAKER_02]: With many within the tech press, advising consumers to just spend the extra money for a higher-end galaxy.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you don't have the extra cash laying around, or don't need the more advanced features of a more expensive model, why not save yourself some cash? [SPEAKER_02]: What you're getting with the FE is a better than mid-range phone with a quality of Samsung's top-end devices. [SPEAKER_02]: And I must say the Galaxy S26 FE is a handsome looking phone, and judging by previous FE phones it will serve the normal consumer very well.

[SPEAKER_02]: Allowing them to accomplish whatever it is that they would want to do using this phone. [SPEAKER_02]: Now here's a public service announcement for you. [SPEAKER_02]: I received an email from Google this past week, which excitedly advised me that the price of the Pixel phone 10A has been reduced to just $499. [SPEAKER_02]: Normally, the 10A goes for 500 of your hard earned dollars. [SPEAKER_02]: Sure, there's nothing fancy about the Pixel phone 10A, but, you know what?

[SPEAKER_02]: What? [SPEAKER_02]: For most people, the 10A will suit them just fine. [SPEAKER_02]: This phone will do everything you could possibly want and do it well. [SPEAKER_02]: And being it's from Google, you'll have the advantage of getting updates as soon as they're available. [SPEAKER_02]: Being that I covered the Android operating system here on the OFNT podcast, I'm very tempted to pick up a Pixel 10A at this price.

[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't had an Android phone since 2022, and I could use a hands-on in order to find out what's a change with Android, which I know has been a lot. [SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't want to get a full-blown cellular account for it, though. [SPEAKER_02]: Perhaps I'll get one of those ad-supported free accounts from text now, [SPEAKER_02]: I could even use the Pixel 10A as a dedicated phone line for call-ins to the show by hooking it up to my audio interface.

[SPEAKER_02]: At this discounted price, it's almost a no-brainer I've got to ask. [SPEAKER_03]: Was this what we like to call in the biz? [SPEAKER_03]: A native ad. [SPEAKER_03]: It really wasn't, but sure it came off like one. [SPEAKER_02]: Didn't it?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: Before I start with news about the giant fruit company, here's yet another public service [SPEAKER_02]: If you've been hankering for a pair of the latest version of Apple's AirPods Pro, Amazon has a pre-prime-day special going on. [SPEAKER_02]: Apple AirPods Pro third generation are currently on sale for $179. [SPEAKER_02]: The regular price is $249, but usually you can find them for around $199. [SPEAKER_02]: That's the price I paid for the last year.

[SPEAKER_02]: The 179 dollar price is the lowest that it's ever been. [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_03]: This makes me wonder if the rumored camera-sisted AirPods are shortly inbound. [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, being that the AirPods' bro ear buds are really discounted if you want to buy a pair of these. [SPEAKER_02]: This is a time to do it. [SPEAKER_02]: Leaker or Sonny Dixon posted an image of what said to be dummy units of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro.

[SPEAKER_02]: The design looks exactly the same as the 17 Pro, but the interesting thing about this photo is it reveals, again supposedly, the new colors the 18 Pro will be available in. [SPEAKER_02]: We have a light blue which was called a sky blue back in, what some refer to as being [SPEAKER_02]: and the color black makes a return this year. [SPEAKER_02]: Yay! [SPEAKER_02]: I wish the 17 pros available in that color.

[SPEAKER_02]: Then we have the silver and what Apple hopes will be the it color of 2027. [SPEAKER_02]: Dark Cherry. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh. [SPEAKER_02]: The color is more purple than red to these old Fart Eyes and I personally don't care for it. [SPEAKER_02]: However, my only choices were between it and the light blue [SPEAKER_02]: For me, all this doesn't matter because I'm not going to be upgrading my iPhone this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: No. [SPEAKER_02]: Fortunately, upon recently viewing a mockup of the upcoming iPhone fold, my lovely wife's interest in getting one has been rekindled. [SPEAKER_03]: You better start saving your money up for it now. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I figure I still have a couple of months to talk or out of it. [SPEAKER_02]: Wish me luck. [SPEAKER_03]: All I can say is, good luck with that, bro. [SPEAKER_02]: Then again, will we actually be seeing this foldable iPhone come September?

[SPEAKER_02]: With all the production problem rumors bouncing around the intotubes these days, we might not see this phone until late this year, or having for bid early next year. [SPEAKER_02]: That air's been plenty of rumors going around a bed a touchscreen MacBook releasing real soon now. [SPEAKER_02]: These rumors started back in 2025 when none other than Bloomberg's Mark German said so in August of that year.

[SPEAKER_02]: By touchscreen, we're not talking about a full touchscreen like a Windows-based laptop or Apple's own iPad. [SPEAKER_02]: which will only allow things like scrolling and selecting functions from a drop-down menu. [SPEAKER_03]: Sort of like the reincarnation of the ill-fated touchbar. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: By last MacBook Pro had the touchbar, and I really liked it. [SPEAKER_02]: I guess I was one of the few.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like Germin, instant digital states at this MacBook Ultra should arrive on store shelves by late this year or by early 2027, also saying that it has entered a full production. [SPEAKER_02]: Myself, I don't have the need for a high-end MacBook and definitely don't care about a touchscreen, limited or not.

[SPEAKER_02]: As I've said before, I consider myself a part of a generation Jones, which is defined as being part of the boomer generation, but not experiencing most of that generation's real or perceived advantages. [SPEAKER_02]: When I came of age, the economy was in a recession, gas prices were sky high, and the job market was in the toilet. [SPEAKER_02]: Sound familiar? [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: I dealt with my situation by joining the military.

[SPEAKER_02]: At least that gave me a place to live in something to eat. [SPEAKER_02]: So to next time you see some commentator on social media who's most likely living in their parents basement, expressing hate for and blaming all the world's woes on the baby boomer generation? [SPEAKER_02]: Just remember, all those great opportunities and good times didn't apply to everyone. [SPEAKER_02]: especially those born towards the end of the baby boomer generation. [SPEAKER_02]: Wait a minute.

[SPEAKER_02]: Was that a rant that I just heard? [SPEAKER_02]: I guess it could be classified as such. [SPEAKER_02]: Apple's WWE DC 26 was a not a fitting way for Old Tim Cook to take his final bow before handing the keys to the kingdom over to incoming CEO John Ternis. [SPEAKER_03]: For me, this W-W-D-C was kind of boring. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you might say that Tim Cook, while good at what he does, is sort of a boring person.

[SPEAKER_02]: Fair enough, but just about anyone would be considered boring when following Steve Jobs who was a master salesman. [SPEAKER_02]: What Mr. Cook could have at least made the whole thing more interesting. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I was dosing off while watching the WWDC, that might be because you're an old fart, just saying. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's true, but I've never drifted off while watching previous WWDCs.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I can understand why Apple avoided making any promises that they might not be able to keep. [SPEAKER_02]: Remember a couple of W-W-DCs ago when a more intelligent series was promised? [SPEAKER_02]: Pepperage Farms, Remembers. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the resulting class action lawsuit gave the giant fruit company 95 million reasons to never promise anything again that could possibly be unfulfilled.

[SPEAKER_02]: As in judgment for 95 million dollars against them, I did manage to jot down some notes about this year's W-W-DC though. [SPEAKER_02]: Now, granted, I didn't take many notes. [SPEAKER_02]: To begin with, in an alternate amount of time was spent on the fact that, with OS 27, children can now have their own Apple accounts. [SPEAKER_02]: The rest of this Spiel was spent telling parents the seemingly endless ways of how they can limit those children's accounts.

[SPEAKER_02]: Big thing for most of the rest of this presentation was the emphasis on privacy and how [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm all for privacy, but don't need to be told about it for like 20 minutes. [SPEAKER_02]: And remember, Apple's AI is going to be powered by Google's Gemini. [SPEAKER_02]: All it would take is one privacy leak and the whole privacy house of cars will come crashing down. [SPEAKER_02]: Next new series was introduced, along with all of its new features.

[SPEAKER_02]: Features that were sort already available using machine language, which have been available [SPEAKER_02]: Like Gemini on Android, Siri will now be available everywhere on your devices. [SPEAKER_02]: Shades of Microsoft's co-pilot, and that's no matter what app you're using. [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I like this so-called feature. [SPEAKER_02]: I do like the enhanced operability between app-so, be it Apple's own, or third-party apps.

[SPEAKER_02]: In other, what could be considered good news, I guess? [SPEAKER_02]: Is that OS 27 will be available on devices this old as the iPhone 11? [SPEAKER_02]: Before those that are using older devices stored celebrating, head of software, Craig Federigi, managed to slip in a quick blurb towards the end of the WWDC. [SPEAKER_02]: Quickly mentioning that only the iPhone 17 pros and later will be getting all of the features Apple spent over an hour describing.

[SPEAKER_02]: Not even the base iPhone 710 will be getting all the new Siri features, as my grandpa would always say. [SPEAKER_03]: The giant fruit company, giveeth? [SPEAKER_03]: Then take it the way. [SPEAKER_02]: And you can forget about the new iPhone 17E. [SPEAKER_02]: For the very few who bought an iPhone Air, well, you're in luck. [SPEAKER_02]: You'll supposedly be getting all of the updated features of iOS 27.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, only Apple Watch Series 9 and above will be able to run Watch OS 27, and only newer Max will be able to run all of the new stuff too. [SPEAKER_02]: At this stage, I don't know what new features my M4 iPad Pro, M2 Chipped MacBook Air and Mac Mini will wind up with. [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks to an article on 9 to 5 Mac that I received yesterday, I can report that the following devices will get all of the new and improved series.

[SPEAKER_02]: For phones, the iPhone 15 Pro and later, the iPhone Air, and the iPhone 16e and 17e. [SPEAKER_02]: Wow! [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I found that surprising too. [SPEAKER_02]: Prypads, the M1 and A17 chips are later. [SPEAKER_02]: X and 1 chip and later, and the Neo's A17 Pro chip. [SPEAKER_02]: Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later, and the SE3. [SPEAKER_02]: Also note that the watches have to be paired with an AI supported iPhone though.

[SPEAKER_02]: And again, this is just for the updated Siri. [SPEAKER_02]: All of the other advanced features are reserved for the 17 Pro and later and for iPads and later and 4 Max and later. [SPEAKER_02]: So if you're really into AI and currently use devices older than the ones I just mentioned, then you're SOL, as boomers such as yourself are want to say.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you'll be having to upgrade to the latest and greatest Apple devices in order to experience the full catalog of new features. [SPEAKER_02]: Talk about forced upgrades. [SPEAKER_02]: Luckily for me, I can get by with just the new series, so I can maintain my usual device upgrade cycle. [SPEAKER_02]: Besides being boring, WDDC26 was also confusing. [SPEAKER_02]: In other words, in my opinion, this WDDC can be labeled as being, sort of, a let down.

[SPEAKER_02]: I almost feel sorry for those YouTubers [SPEAKER_02]: almost. [SPEAKER_02]: They'll be putting on a brave face in order to favorably cover this event just to keep their precious access to Apple intact. [SPEAKER_02]: Let's stay become exiled and left out in the cold. [SPEAKER_02]: Other tidbits from this WWDC were that Siri has been labeled as a Siri AI now and gets its own app.

[SPEAKER_02]: The seldom use short-cuts app, which did just fine without AI, is now enhanced with a natural language interface, which allows users to generate automations. [SPEAKER_02]: And that was about it. [SPEAKER_02]: OS 27, also marks the end of support for Intel-based max, so it could be also considered the end of an error. [SPEAKER_02]: Another thing brought up was that they'll be limits on the use of Apple Intelligence.

[SPEAKER_02]: Unless you're a subscriber to iCloud Plus, that's some dirty pool being played here by Apple. [SPEAKER_02]: I agree. [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't all bad news, especially for all the devices as Apple has promised huge speed improvements for iOS devices running OS 27. [SPEAKER_02]: If true, that news is welcome. [SPEAKER_02]: The password's Apple will be able to automatically change compromised password for you, which is convenient.

[SPEAKER_02]: that were no new hardware announcements and Apple also admitted that not all of the advanced features would be available upon a release of OS 27 and where have we heard that before asking for consumers. [SPEAKER_02]: We heard that a couple of WWDCs ago, the biggest admission for me, or was it a confession, is that because Apple intelligence is powered by [SPEAKER_02]: Interoperability between Android and iOS would be enhanced.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_02]: My prediction of iOS and Android eventually emerging is slowly coming to fruition. [SPEAKER_02]: And by Apple using Gemini, we'll be seeing this merger starting to accelerate. [SPEAKER_02]: When Apple replaces Mac OS with a derivative of iOS, thus joining Google, who is in the process of replacing Chrome OS with Android, then you'll come to the realization that I've been right about this.

[SPEAKER_02]: Did you waste some of your purchase time watching WWDC26? [SPEAKER_02]: Taka I'm using. [SPEAKER_02]: I've just started listening to an Apple centric podcast called the Dal Rimple Report. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's great, no. [SPEAKER_03]: But why are you telling me this within the tech I'm using section? [SPEAKER_03]: Shouldn't this be in the podcast section of the show? [SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you would allow me to finish, then hopefully you'd realize why I'm discussing this here.

[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, as I was saying, I just started listening to the down-remble report. [SPEAKER_02]: The two hosts, and they are both human, unlike my co-host, you do realize that I can hear you. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I know you can hear me, but can you see me? [SPEAKER_03]: If you would hold a mirror up to your own face, then you would be able to see both of us. [SPEAKER_03]: Comprin Day Amigo? [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not getting into this right now.

[SPEAKER_02]: The two hosts of the Doll Rimple Report are avid Apple fans but have no insider info or connections. [SPEAKER_02]: They're just two Apple enthusiasts who used to attend the WWDC back in the old days when they were held outside of Apple headquarters, and attended mostly by fans of Apple. [SPEAKER_02]: That all stopped when the pandemic hit. [SPEAKER_02]: In last week's episode, they were discussing the Apple Watch.

[SPEAKER_02]: One host brought up the new Fitbit Air Fitness Band, and how he feels at the paradigm has shifted towards the fitness band form factor. [SPEAKER_02]: Friends really do move in a circle. [SPEAKER_02]: I say this because when the fitness tracking craze first started, it started with the fitness [SPEAKER_02]: Or I got my first generation Apple Watch, I used a Fitbit Band. [SPEAKER_02]: And now I find myself yearning for an Apple-branded fitness band.

[SPEAKER_02]: But again, if an Apple fitness band ever became a reality, that would throw a monkey wrench into my plans of upgrading to an Apple Watch Ultra, while at the same time, downloading my iPhone to either a base model, or even an E-series. [SPEAKER_03]: But if you do that, you'd be missing out on all those new AI goodies coming with OS 27. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's true, but I'd get over it. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, maybe.

[SPEAKER_02]: Though if you would like to hear some honest opinions about Apple stuff from a couple of normal consumers who have no industry connections to maintain, give the down-remple report a listen. [SPEAKER_02]: This podcast gives a non-industry perspective on Apple's doings, which I find refreshing. [SPEAKER_02]: Over this past winter, I decided to change from a panasonic electric razor to a neural coal or philipshavor. [SPEAKER_02]: The brand name changes based on where you're located.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was on my third panasonic arc razor and just felt I needed something different. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, let me stop you here. [SPEAKER_03]: What in tar nations does this have to do with tech I'm using? [SPEAKER_02]: Well, the reason I bring this up is because for the first time in my life, I've received a firmware update for an electric razor. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's how far technology has come these days. [SPEAKER_03]: On the bright side, at least your razor doesn't have AI.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, at least not yet, but I'm sure they're working on it. [SPEAKER_02]: While the neurocal shape is great, nothing equals an old brawn electric razor I put [SPEAKER_02]: That's when Braun was still a German company before being bought out by Gillette. [SPEAKER_02]: Over the years, I purchased another Braun Razer, but it wasn't the same as that original one that I had. [SPEAKER_03]: Then why didn't you just stick with that old Braun Razer?

[SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, that Razer was lost along with an old Seiko watch of mind during the first Gulf War. [SPEAKER_02]: That old Braun gave me the closest shape I've ever gotten from an electric Razer. [SPEAKER_02]: The point of this whole bloviation was to stress my bewilderment over an electric razor needing a firmware update. [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what would an electric shave or possibly need updated via is firmware.

[SPEAKER_02]: The only thing I can think of is some sort of data tracking. [SPEAKER_02]: Entertainment news With those who own the Google TV streaming box, there's a new firmware [SPEAKER_02]: Don't get too excited though, this update brings stability and bug fixes along with enhancements for those that use the box as a home automation hub. [SPEAKER_02]: Like Apple, Google has plans on turning a simple content, trimming box into the brain of your smart home.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not into all this smart home stuff, it's still very easy for me to do the most mundane [SPEAKER_02]: Updating burnware is the main advantage of using a Google TV box. [SPEAKER_02]: You can go with the cheaper Walmart on box that I reported on previously, but who knows if that device will ever get from where updates? [SPEAKER_02]: I've finally gotten around to watching some of those movies that I was saving for the return of my lovely wife.

[SPEAKER_02]: The first will be we watch upon her return was Anaconda. [SPEAKER_02]: It's a comedic reboot of the Genie from the Block original from 1997. [SPEAKER_02]: My wife had enjoyed the original, and also enjoyed this Jack Black reboot also. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I tolerated the original and did the same for this reboot. [SPEAKER_02]: Jurassic World rebirth was the second movie she decided to watch.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was never a fan of the Jurassic series of movies, so I knew going in that I wouldn't [SPEAKER_02]: and I didn't. [SPEAKER_02]: I do realize that a certain amount of reality it required to be suspended while watching movies such as this, but this one stretches suspended reality to its limit. [SPEAKER_02]: The story was weak, the dialogue was bad, and I, as well as many others, are just fatigued by so-called female boss movies.

[SPEAKER_02]: Scarlet Johansson played the female boss, and all I could think [SPEAKER_02]: I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Johansson while I worked back in 2003. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh Lord, here we go again. [SPEAKER_02]: She was returning from England where she had just completed filming the girl with the Pearl airing. [SPEAKER_02]: But some reason she was sent in for a secondary inspection and I was the one who got to interview her.

[SPEAKER_02]: I had no idea who she was or what she did at the time. [SPEAKER_02]: Upon me asking her what she was doing in England, she informed me that she had just completed a movie. [SPEAKER_02]: She then told me to watch Lost in Translation if I wanted to check out her good work. [SPEAKER_02]: I did a quick Google search in the movie with her image came up.

[SPEAKER_02]: I found her to be mature for her age, but then again, at her age I was running around parts unknown with an M16 lifeless part of my job. [SPEAKER_02]: As I concluded my interview with her and told her she could leave, she again begged me to watch Lawson translation. [SPEAKER_02]: I promised her that I would, and then she was gone and forgotten by me. [SPEAKER_02]: That isn't till about six months later when Lawson translation became available on HBO.

[SPEAKER_02]: I kept my promise and watched a movie. [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't mind it, but it's not really my kind of movie. [SPEAKER_02]: Finally, we watch Burning Man, yet another remake of a remake. [SPEAKER_02]: I love the action scenes, but that was about it. [SPEAKER_02]: As for my wife, she fell asleep while watching it, and that's all you need to know about Burning Man. [SPEAKER_02]: We are almost through the fourth season of The Show From.

[SPEAKER_02]: This series gets weirder as its story progresses, and I'm nowhere near figuring it out, [SPEAKER_02]: podcast news. [SPEAKER_02]: Along with all the things announced at WWDC last week, Rain News reports that Apple's podcast app is also getting some upgrades with OS 27. [SPEAKER_03]: What, AI stuff? [SPEAKER_02]: Thankfully, none that I could find. [SPEAKER_02]: The main upgrade across all forms of OS 27 has to do with video podcasts.

[SPEAKER_02]: As of now, the only devices you can watch videos using Apple's podcast app are on the iPhone and iPad. [SPEAKER_02]: With OS 27, this has been expanded to Apple TV streaming box and the Mac versions of the podcast app. [SPEAKER_02]: On the Mac, video podcast will be shown in a picture and picture format that will allow the video to float on the screen when multitasking.

[SPEAKER_02]: The Apple TV box version of the podcast app is getting a complete redesign, including sidebar navigation and support for the display of our work. [SPEAKER_02]: There are some serious money to be made including video with podcasts and as long as the show uses an RSS feed for distribution, I consider it a podcast. [SPEAKER_03]: So are you now being tempted to bring video to this show?

[SPEAKER_02]: Nope. [SPEAKER_02]: I have a hard enough time editing just the audio for this podcast and the one whom must be obeyed wouldn't tolerate me spending even more time doing this show. [SPEAKER_02]: Let alone spending money on Camerison, whatnot. [SPEAKER_02]: Last week I begged about reaching my personal audio Nirvana with this podcast. [SPEAKER_02]: The last three episodes before the last one, so a large audience gains to boot.

[SPEAKER_03]: And if I'm recalling correctly, you didn't want to jinx yourself by connecting the in your opinion, perfect audio, and that audience increase. [SPEAKER_02]: You recall correctly, unfortunately, after reviewing the numbers for episode 324, the very episode I made that proclamation on, the audience numbers have fallen off a cliff. [SPEAKER_03]: So you did want upchinks in yourself. [SPEAKER_03]: Go figure. [SPEAKER_02]: It sure looks that way.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh well, you're when stomping you lose some. [SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully, those numbers will increase again. [SPEAKER_02]: The music is playing as another week in episode of the OF&T podcast starts to come to its end. [SPEAKER_02]: Visit the beginning of another week. [SPEAKER_02]: Hope you enjoyed this episode. [SPEAKER_02]: I enjoyed making it for you. [SPEAKER_02]: To like what you heard, you can always make a donation using the links in the show notes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. [SPEAKER_01]: If you would like to contact the OFNT podcast, you can do so by sending an email to OFNT podcast at gmail.com. [SPEAKER_02]: And remember, don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. [SPEAKER_02]: Well, summer is fully upon us and these are very long. [SPEAKER_02]: There's still some sun out there, so get off my lawn. [SPEAKER_02]: They get the call. [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be seeing you.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that folks is the end of the show.
