[SPEAKER_01]: a factual data creation facility production. [SPEAKER_01]: Recorded from one of the valleys of Appalachia, live but not in front of any sort of audience. [SPEAKER_01]: It's the O-F-N-T podcast. [SPEAKER_01]: Here's your host, who's never considered buying VR goggles, GM-Shade. [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the O-F-N-T podcast episode 292, which I'm calling, VR Competition. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, how am I sounding? [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty in the last week's episode?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm asking because I've been messing around with the audio settings of my new interface. [SPEAKER_00]: I thought my audio sounded too muffled last week. [SPEAKER_00]: But my daughter Jessica said I sounded just fine. [SPEAKER_00]: All right then. [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get the episode started. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes. [SPEAKER_00]: 3, 2, 1. [SPEAKER_00]: tech news.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's sort of official now, an article on 95Mac.com which quotes a report from account-to-point research, claims that the base model iPhone 17 and the 17 Pro Max are this year's best-selling iPhones. [SPEAKER_00]: The base model iPhone 17, which is probably the best iPhone release since 2011's 4S, has seen a 31% increase in demand year-on-year, the Pro Max was no slouch either, with an impressive 12% increase in demand.
[SPEAKER_00]: The base iPhone 17 is especially popular in China, while the Pro Max is the favorite model in the United States, so where does this leave the iPhone air? [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's an accurate description. [SPEAKER_00]: And to think, I was leaning heavily towards the purchase of the air model when the rumors about it first started surfacing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Having the weakest battery life amongst the iPhone lineup and having only one camera and speaker along with the air being a first generation product, all appear to have doomed this model. [SPEAKER_00]: As I stated in last week's episode, I believe that the air will stick around for another year before being replaced. [SPEAKER_00]: Or is it this place by another model? [SPEAKER_00]: If at all. [SPEAKER_00]: That's someone in the comment section of the article put it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You could think of the 17A air as the iPhone 16E Pro. [SPEAKER_00]: Though the 16E has better battery life in two speakers for stereo sound and have the price. [SPEAKER_00]: With the solid set of useful and meaningful upgrades to the base model iPhone this year, I'll just just know reason for the average consumer who just wants an iPhone to up for the more expensive models.
[SPEAKER_00]: This year's base model iPhone has even changed my perception of what I want or actually need in an iPhone. [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, I thought the previously released iPhone 16E was responsible for that perception. [SPEAKER_00]: Not entirely. [SPEAKER_00]: The iPhone 16E did serve to open my eyes, so to speak. [SPEAKER_00]: As I've said before, the iPhone 17 Pro Max I purchased this year will more than likely be the last Pro Model I ever purchased.
[SPEAKER_00]: Going forward, I'll be putting my cash towards iPads and Mac desktops in displays. [SPEAKER_00]: My next iPhone will probably be a base model, and when the E-Series catches up to that base model, then I'll consider purchasing that series of iPhone. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, all I really need in a phone is one that does all the basic things well. [SPEAKER_00]: The only two features prevented me from using an E-series at the moment.
[SPEAKER_00]: R.A. 120 Hertz screen refresh rate, and a dynamic island. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not like I need the Dynamic Island. [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't mind the old notch. [SPEAKER_00]: I just think the Dynamic Island looks cool. [SPEAKER_00]: And the way it displays sportscores is the bees' knees, as the young folk are, apt to say. [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: And the 120Hz display refresh rate would be easier on these old eyes.
[SPEAKER_00]: MacRomers.com has an article which lives up to the website's name. [SPEAKER_00]: The headline of the article reads, quote, Apple's plan to launch three new iPhone designs allegedly revealed, unquote, the article quotes an obscure Korean blog post published [SPEAKER_00]: Which claims Apple will launch its first foldable in 2026, featuring a book-style design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. [SPEAKER_00]: But we already have heard that, haven't we?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: In 2027, Apple will be debuting a special 20th anniversary iPhone with a so-called zero bezel around the display. [SPEAKER_00]: This phone will be of the standard candy bar form factor. [SPEAKER_00]: The OLED display is described as bending around all four stages of the device, wrapping around the entire front frame. [SPEAKER_00]: The Face ID module, front camera, and all other sensors will reside under the front screen.
[SPEAKER_00]: And finally, in the year 2028, the giant fruit company will release another foldable iPhone. [SPEAKER_00]: But this time in a clamshell form factor. [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if they'll call at the iPhone flip. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll go on record as predicting it will sell like hotcakes. [SPEAKER_00]: The article also went into specific details about the construction of each of the three models, but I won't bore you with that information here. [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, is this all true? [SPEAKER_00]: To be honest, who knows? [SPEAKER_00]: We've been hearing the same rumors for a while now, and the source of these latest rumors can be considered a sketchy at best. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's been a slow tech week when articles are published based on reports from sources that can't be verified, and have no path track record of being correct.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do admire the author's ability to search out sources, [SPEAKER_00]: MacRomers also has an article which asked, quote, could Apple's rumored budget MacBook debut before years and, unquote? [SPEAKER_00]: A month or so ago, rumours led by none other than the former king of supply chain leakers, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ming Qi Quow.
[SPEAKER_00]: That Apple was developing a more affordable 13-inch laptop in order to better compete with Chromebooks and help drive MacBook sales numbers up. [SPEAKER_00]: This low-cost MacBook would be powered by an iPhone A18 chip instead of the usual Apple Silicon M series chip. [SPEAKER_00]: The A18 chip is said to be comparable to an Apple Silicon M1 chip performance wise anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: And not to be outdone, Digitimes is reporting that this poor person's MacBook would come in at between $599-$699. [SPEAKER_00]: I guess this would be considered cheap for a MacBook. [SPEAKER_00]: I guess so, the only downside for using an A-series chip versus an M-series chip would be that the A-18 doesn't support the fast Thunderbolt Connection protocol, meaning that this little MacBook that could would instead be equipped with two plain-jane USB-C ports.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now for the target user of this, still, hypothetical MacBook, this omission wouldn't matter much. [SPEAKER_00]: There were no mentions of a MagSafe charging port, nor how much RAM this device would come with. [SPEAKER_00]: Well later, predicted that this MacBook would support an ultra-thin and lightweight design and come in fun colors like blue, pink, and yellow. [SPEAKER_00]: What? [SPEAKER_00]: No cosmic orange? [SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's hope not.
[SPEAKER_00]: Quote went on to predict that this new MacBook would enter a mass production towards the end of 2025. [SPEAKER_00]: While Digitime said it would enter final assembly at that time, and be available to ship in late 2025 or early 2026. [SPEAKER_00]: Late 2025 would mean December 31, 2025 in Apple Speak. [SPEAKER_00]: I will pretend to know if any of this is true.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say that this MacBook model will find a market and it would be a shame if Apple didn't release it in time for the holiday gift buying season. [SPEAKER_00]: Then again this MacBook might be aimed primarily at students who return to school shortly after the holidays. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaning towards a spring release for this entry level ultra portable MacBook. [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think? [SPEAKER_00]: Are you interested in this product?
[SPEAKER_00]: In other Apple rumors, 9 to 5 Mac is reporting that Apple may introduce search ads to Apple Maps next year. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's just wonderful. [SPEAKER_01]: Yet another place for bombarding consumers with advertisements. [SPEAKER_00]: You know the old saying, the only thing certain in life are death and taxes. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it should be amended to the only thing certain in life, or death, taxes, and advertisements.
[SPEAKER_01]: Perhaps you could add streaming services, subscription price increases to that saying also. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll have to submit that suggestion for consideration to the old saying board. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll get back to you on that. [SPEAKER_00]: The article is based on a newsletter from the current King of Apple Leaks, Mark German. [SPEAKER_00]: So this rumor actually has legs. [SPEAKER_00]: We already have ads on the app store, and now maybe maps.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm concerned that Apple will continue the spread of ads over the entire ecosystem. [SPEAKER_00]: You know it's all over if you start seeing ads on the home screen of the Apple TV streaming box. [SPEAKER_00]: According to Apple, [SPEAKER_00]: Apple will use AI to ensure that results are relevant and useful, which means targeted ads. [SPEAKER_00]: Now wouldn't this violate user's privacy? [SPEAKER_00]: So much for the Apple ecosystem stated emphasis on consumer privacy.
[SPEAKER_00]: At this rate, we'll be seeing advertisements on the home screen of iPhones, iPads and Macs. [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard of some Chinese manufacturers already doing this on phones in the Chinese market. [SPEAKER_00]: I love listening to podcasts sitting in a dystopian future, but I have never wanted to live in such a future. [SPEAKER_00]: Last Tuesday, Samsung held what I think can be called the most boring new product event ever. [SPEAKER_00]: And I do mean ever.
[SPEAKER_00]: The event was held in Seoul, Korea, which explained the events unusually late start time of 10pm Eastern Standard Time, or 2200 hours for us former military members, and the rest of the civilized world. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: The speaking pace of the various presenters, or enough to put this particular [SPEAKER_00]: With all the money Samsung brings in, they could have held two separate events, and hired speakers who were more enthusiastic about the product being announced. [SPEAKER_00]: Which if you haven't yet heard was the Galaxy XR augmented and virtual reality headset. [SPEAKER_00]: As predicted, the device will cost you $1800, which severely undercuts Apple's Vision Pro competitor.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, Samsung makes up for that deficit a bit by charging an extra $250 for a set of controllers and for a case, and that's separately. [SPEAKER_00]: Meaning, the controllers will cost you $250, and the case will cost you another $250, $250 for a case. [SPEAKER_01]: What? [SPEAKER_01]: Is Samsung attempting to be Apple? [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it seems like they're trying, and trying hard. [SPEAKER_00]: The whole event came off as an infomercial for Google's Gemini AI.
[SPEAKER_00]: We get it. [SPEAKER_00]: Gemini is wonderful. [SPEAKER_00]: The Galaxy XR resembles in functions like the Vision Pro, which again makes me wonder. [SPEAKER_00]: Who's asking for this type of device? [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, you tell me. [SPEAKER_00]: After the event, comment range from, this is the greatest thing ever, too, who needs this thing?
[SPEAKER_00]: If the numerous comment sections I peruse can be believed, serious gamers are all but unanimous in saying that they'll just wait for Meta's next quest headset, which is much cheaper, though doesn't have all the features of Samsung's and Apple's goggles, but [SPEAKER_00]: Those extra features aren't wanted or needed by these gamers.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can compute using the Galaxy XR using Google's Chrome browser, but there was no mention of the hits at being compatible with Chrome OS or Microsoft Windows. [SPEAKER_00]: Then again, I might have dosed off while such an announcement was being made.
[SPEAKER_00]: The most interesting part of the event, well, at least in my opinion, was when Samsung announced that the same partnership behind the Galaxy XR, which was Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm, were creating a software and reference hardware platform that will enable the ecosystem to create great augmented reality glasses. [SPEAKER_00]: This help validate my previously stated opinion that these hitsets are just a stepping stone towards a true AR glasses.
[SPEAKER_00]: Samsung intends on copying meta's Ray Bang glasses, which don't have augmented reality features displayed on the lenses. [SPEAKER_00]: These will be the next step towards fully blown AR glasses.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's believed Apple will be following the same game plan, but who really [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever your opinion of Meta might be, you've got to give him credit for letting a fire under the butts of both Samsung and Apple, spurring them on to push forward and with the development of true augmented reality glasses.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tekka, I'm using, as I talked about some episodes back, my fourth generation or a ringhead started having problem sharing data with Apple Health, and specifically the Peloton app. [SPEAKER_00]: I received a firmware update for the oral early last week, and the problem is somewhat resolved. [SPEAKER_00]: I say somewhat because while the rings data again connects to Apple Health, and does share data with the Peloton app.
[SPEAKER_00]: However, sharing with the Peloton app only flows in one direction. [SPEAKER_00]: The R is data does make it way to the Peloton app, but data from the Peloton app doesn't show up on R's app. [SPEAKER_00]: Apple Health will log it, but the aura will not. [SPEAKER_00]: Instead, aura will track the Peloton ride as an activity, and not very accurately, I might add, and I'm asked to confirm the activity.
[SPEAKER_00]: As for I do confirm the activity, aura will share it with both Apple Health and the Peloton app. [SPEAKER_00]: Results are a duplication of data, and mismatch data at that. [SPEAKER_00]: This works great from achieving my goals on both the Apple and Peloton amps, but it screws up the overall accuracy. [SPEAKER_00]: This sinking problem started with iOS 26, so that's where I'm assuming the problem lies.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm hoping that this all gets squared away eventually, and the sooner the better. [SPEAKER_01]: Perhaps a factory reset of the order ring is in order here. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's one of the options I'm considering. [SPEAKER_00]: As far as my general fitness regimen, I've had to cut back on it a bit because this old fart body just can't handle this stress, as well as it used to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, starting to feel exhausted every day, and my resting heart rate, which was steadily lowering over the past year, started increasing again. [SPEAKER_00]: In response, I've altered my exercise schedule. [SPEAKER_00]: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I do a full-body strength workout utilizing dumbbells, [SPEAKER_00]: And I follow that up with a 20-minute indoor cycle session. [SPEAKER_00]: To say Thursday and Saturday, I spend at least 45 minutes on the Peloton.
[SPEAKER_00]: Some days I do a 20-minute kettlebell session. [SPEAKER_00]: Previously I was doing kettlebells every day and riding the Peloton every day for at least 30 minutes or more. [SPEAKER_00]: At in the full-body strength workouts, three times per week, and there was a one-tired old fart. [SPEAKER_00]: We're sure I say one even more tired old fart.
[SPEAKER_00]: So far these adjustments I've made seem to be working, and while I'm on the subject of fitness, while at least my personal fitness, I managed to participate in their life peloton ride last Thursday evening. [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't taken one of those in months. [SPEAKER_00]: The instructor, Hannah Corbin, is not one of my favorites, but I'll take what's offered to me. [SPEAKER_00]: The ride was the right type and it's 830 in the evening star time worked out great for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a good time with it and it was fun. [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people high five me probably because they don't often see an old fart like myself on the leaderboard. [SPEAKER_00]: For me, the wonder of the technology is still sort of magic. [SPEAKER_00]: Of course it would be. [SPEAKER_00]: You're an old geek. [SPEAKER_00]: That I am. [SPEAKER_00]: That I am. [SPEAKER_00]: It still amazes me that I'm huffing and puffing along with people from around the world in real time.
[SPEAKER_00]: led by an instructor located in New York City. [SPEAKER_00]: The number of participants in the class could be considered small compared to other classes with some 642 of us. [SPEAKER_00]: Other live classes taking place in earlier times lots usually draw a thousands. [SPEAKER_00]: I just hope those lower numbers eventually increase, or at least large enough for peloton to keep having these later in the evening classes.
[SPEAKER_00]: The instructor shattered out people from the west coasts of the United States continually proving that these classes were aimed towards them. [SPEAKER_00]: There were quite a few writers from Australia on the leaderboard as these night classes would be beneficial for them also. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure there were some ghost writers from Asia where Peloton is an available for sale, but got the hands on a bike somehow.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to tell because I figured these writers would hide their location for equipment warranty reasons. [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of which, [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed the class so much that I extended the warranty in my bike for another 48 months. [SPEAKER_00]: Sure, I'd like to upgrade my bike to the newer bike plus IQ model, but Peloton is in doing trade-ins.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be sticking to my humble regular bike model and the extended warranty will at least give me some peace of mind. [SPEAKER_00]: I do hope that eventually Peloton will offer a monitor upgrade. [SPEAKER_00]: Here they both the London and New York Studios installed 4K cameras not long ago. [SPEAKER_00]: While my bikes HD monitor is sufficient, these old tired eyes would be better served with a 4K monitor me thanks.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only other piece of tech I messed around with this past week was an HP des jet 4100 printer. [SPEAKER_00]: I purchased this printer while I was still living up in New York, but never got around the setting it up. [SPEAKER_00]: I bought it on sale during an Amazon Prime Day sale, but never had to rule more the need to even take it out of its box. [SPEAKER_00]: These days, most documents are processed electronically via PDF files and eSigning.
[SPEAKER_00]: I use the DocuSign app for this. [SPEAKER_00]: Last week I actually had a need for a printed and signed document. [SPEAKER_00]: Wow! [SPEAKER_00]: So I dug the printer out of my closet and set it up. [SPEAKER_00]: Now the last printer that I had set up was a brother branded laser printer. [SPEAKER_00]: Back in what I have come to fully recognize as being. [SPEAKER_00]: The day.
[SPEAKER_00]: Back then, I had to key in my Wi-Fi network password using the crappy keypad on their printer itself. [SPEAKER_00]: And let me tell you, it was a chore. [SPEAKER_00]: The printer would not recognize when I five gigahertz network, forcing me to use the guest network I had set up, which was on the 2.4 gigahertz band. [SPEAKER_00]: I hardly used to printer anyway, but had to get rid of my guess in that work when I found that the neighbors were accessing my Wi-Fi with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure some were saving money doing this. [SPEAKER_00]: While others were probably kids who were internet restricted by their parents. [SPEAKER_00]: After that, the brother-branded printer set collecting dust until I donated it to the Salvation Army before moving down here. [SPEAKER_00]: In comparison to the brother-or-lazer printer, the HP printer was a breeze to set up. [SPEAKER_00]: using the accompanying app.
[SPEAKER_00]: All I had to do was install the ink cartridges, punching my Wi-Fi network password using the app, push one button, and it was all done. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the way it should be. [SPEAKER_00]: No drivers were needed to be installed, and I can print from my iPhone, iPad, and of course my Mac computers. [SPEAKER_00]: Even my son can print from his Windows-based machines. [SPEAKER_00]: Technology is great when it works, isn't it? [SPEAKER_00]: entertainment news.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another episode and other streaming service price increase. [SPEAKER_00]: Earlier this month Disney Plus decided to raise its prices, so as if taking a cue from them, HBO has decided to raise their prices also. [SPEAKER_00]: All HBO subscription tiers will see their prices increase between $1 to $2. [SPEAKER_00]: I currently don't subscribe to HBO though I did earlier in the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: The only shows I watched were peacemaker, the penguin, task, and a show I can't recall the name of, which was about a couple of guys who ran a. [SPEAKER_00]: illegal gambling operation in Los Angeles. [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed watching these shows as I do other shows that are available over a wide spectrum of paid streaming services. [SPEAKER_00]: But you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to watch these shows, much less pay to see them.
[SPEAKER_00]: My life will be just fine without them. [SPEAKER_00]: I think many people are starting to realize this, and have had enough of this price gouging. [SPEAKER_00]: I know I've sure had enough of it. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll see what streaming service will be next to jump aboard this endless price increase merry-go-round. [SPEAKER_00]: Stay tuned! [SPEAKER_00]: and speaking of HBO and their owner, Warner Brothers, if you haven't heard, they're both up for sale.
[SPEAKER_00]: They've already turned down on offer from Paramount, but according to an article on appleinsider.com, none other than Apple is considering buying Warner Brothers. [SPEAKER_00]: In order to bolster Apple TV's catalog, the competition is fierce though. [SPEAKER_00]: Besides Paramount, Netflix, Comcast, and Amazon are also a new running. [SPEAKER_00]: Apple certainly has the money to buy one of brothers, but unlike its competition, Apple is cautious when acquiring other companies.
[SPEAKER_00]: If Apple were to pull this off, it would be a huge wind for them. [SPEAKER_00]: Apple TV [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, without a doubt, I wonder if instead of buying all of one of brother's apple would just be able to buy their back catalog. [SPEAKER_00]: That would also give Apple TV an instant boost in subscribers. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure if one of brothers would allow apples to do this, so I'm sure it will be hearing about what happens soon enough. [SPEAKER_00]: podcast news.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had heard it yet another disaster while recording last week's episode. [SPEAKER_00]: Somehow, about halfway through recording the tech section, the road duo settings when it stray. [SPEAKER_00]: The result of this was the low muffled sound I described getting last week before figuring out the setting that was causing it. [SPEAKER_00]: After about a half hour of once more fiddling around, I managed to fix things.
[SPEAKER_00]: Though the resulting audio for the rest of the episode sounded great in my headphones, well that wasn't the case upon listening back to the recording later on my iPhone. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm blaming the compression, my hosting service applies while converting my audio file into an MP3 file. [SPEAKER_00]: I guess this gives me something else to figure out how to get around. [SPEAKER_00]: What did you think of last week's episode?
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't trust these old fart ears of mine, so you'd be doing me a solid buy. [SPEAKER_00]: Let me know your thoughts on this. [SPEAKER_00]: Zoom the audio equipment manufacturer, not the video communications company, announced a follow-up product to its popular pod track P4 portable audio interface last week. [SPEAKER_00]: It's called the pod track P4 next. [SPEAKER_00]: It will cost $179 and is to be released sometime in November. [SPEAKER_00]: Pre-orders went live last Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_00]: The regular P4 had a price of $169 when first released. [SPEAKER_00]: But you're getting a whole lot more for that extra 10 bucks. [SPEAKER_00]: The form factor is more desktop-friendly than its predecessor. [SPEAKER_00]: And you're getting the same 4XLR mic inputs and outputs and headphone outputs of the older P4, as well as a small LCD display. [SPEAKER_00]: You're also getting the same 4 sound effects pads.
[SPEAKER_00]: Besides the form factor, the pot track P4 next has onboard digital signal processing. [SPEAKER_00]: something the original P4 lacked. [SPEAKER_00]: You get built in noise reduction, a compressor, EQ, DSing, and tone settings. [SPEAKER_00]: You can power the P4 next via USB or 2 AA batteries. [SPEAKER_00]: The pre-emptified 70 decibels of gain, which is enough power to drive just about any microphone on the market, and bring in remote guests with a physical TRRS connection.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully that works out better than the Louisit Connect 6 did for its users. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hopefully. [SPEAKER_00]: Unlike the older P4, Bluetooth connectivity is available with the purchase of a separate module, which is the one thing I consider a downside concerning both the original P4 and this new P4 next. [SPEAKER_00]: This little zoom audio interface seems to be a perfect portable podcast recording device for those on the go.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also powerful enough to be used as your main interface. [SPEAKER_00]: For the $179 price of the P4 next, it's almost in impulse buy. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're interested in this product, I'd advise waiting a month or so after it's released. [SPEAKER_00]: By then the price should come down a bit like most Zoom products do. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be giving you a serious look after the holiday's that's for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: The music has started playing on this chilly, boulashian evening. [SPEAKER_00]: This also signals that episode 292 is nearing its end. [SPEAKER_00]: Hope you enjoyed this episode. [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed making it for you. [SPEAKER_00]: To like what you heard, we can make a donation using the link in the show notes. [SPEAKER_00]: Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. [SPEAKER_00]: You can always reach me at ofintepontcast at gmail.com if you're so inclined.
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoy hearing from you. [SPEAKER_00]: You have wood. [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, don't listen to what they say. [SPEAKER_00]: Watch what they do. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we've got a cold front moving through the area, so milling around here can't be comfortable. [SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to warm up, you can start by... [SPEAKER_00]: I just had to throw it in there. [SPEAKER_00]: Stayes get the goal. [SPEAKER_00]: Ah, Mount. [SPEAKER_00]: See you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that folks is the end of the show. [SPEAKER_01]: I can feel fat lady her son.
