Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Apple this EPO. We'll start again, Hello the Internet and welcome to this very special trending episode. What how do I do this? Okay, my brand and to welcome to this episode of Apple vis Trends Show. Instead of Apple Vision Pro. Why Why did? Why was that so hard? What the fu? I don't know? I'm Jack. That is Miles. We're thrilled to be joined to our special Apple Vision Pro reporter on the street. It's super producer Brian. Jeffrey's Brian. What's happened?
Wow?
People? Is this the first time you're on Mike sorta kind of? Maybe? Yeah?
Ship the phones are hey ones people. That's unfortunately fiancee. They're gonna lose it right now, hear in your voice. Anyway, It's only me.
Don't worry, guys. Yeah, it's great to have you. First of all, big fan, first time a long time. You're in the band Lea Femera, right, yeah.
Very briefly, briefly I was there right right before they imploded.
Yeah, that is I'm glad you asked the question that was on everyone's mind. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I played bass in that band. What else? What else? What? Else division from the Apple Vision Pro dropped or didn't drop, but they like showed us what it's going to look like, what the what the features are. Brian, you immersed yourself. You drenched yourself in all the coverage of you know, people who have gotten their hands on it and who watched the debut of our new reality that just dropped.
I was hoping to find it like stupid and easy to dismiss, and I found it stupid and difficult to dismiss. I found it like, this is our this is a glimpse of what our dark future is going to look like.
Did you watch a ten minute clip that Apple dropped that was like the full sort of like sort of commercial presentation of what the headset would do.
I think I just watched highlights, oh.
Man, because the second they switched it up to like first it was like watching movies on it, and then when they started playing two K like video games, and I was like ah, and her magicy was like what I was like, I think the Vision Pro is actually kind of cool for like one very narrow reason now, and I didn't think I would, but that's it.
But that's it. So the thing that I think I was underrating. The thing that jumps out to me is it is And this makes sense of the name change because we thought it was like Apple Reality or something Apple Reality. It seems like it's an improvement on vision. Like the eye tracking is crazy, Like you look at something and it just knows what you're looking at and like zooms in on that thing or like interacts with
that thing. You have like four K cameras for each of your eyes, so it's like better than your actual vision. The wired demo, they let somebody do like a hands on test drive of it and they were like, so then I went in and Apple's on site optometrist like check fitted. So that's the other thing.
So it costs thirty five hundred dollars unless you have glasses. Unless you need to wear glasses, then you need to have prescription lenses made for the Vision pro in order to use it, because it does not accommodate.
Oh right, glasses. Oh but you could wear contact lenses. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that should be right if you wear that.
If you guys should have stigmatism or something, you ain't fucking with that. The other thing I read though, too, is like it's only for one user at a time, like it doesn't have like multiple use profiles, kind of like how like an iPod would be, or like an iPhone even though they're on it like a computer and people are like, wait, what, it's not like I'm gonna buy eight of these fucking things.
I think that might have something to do with a it being Apple and then being greedy bastards, and also interesting, So the way this thing is set up, so it's got an insane suite of sensors. It's got six outer cameras, it's got IR sensors, depth sensors, light are basically all the shit you would put on like an autonomous car. All those sensors inside scan your face and.
Learn how your movements work.
And I think that might be a tricky thing to be switching between for different users because it's.
Set up for this one person.
So I can see how that might be problematic to be switching it around if it's that tune.
Didn't get problematic to be caping for Apple right now. But now here's the funny thing.
I hate having products, is the thing, but I love technology.
You are the most notoriously anti Apple person I know actually can't stand funny.
He doesn't even eat the damn but you stay up. Yeah, I don't. Well, the thing that makes this makes it like having only one user profile per thing makes sense to me, is you were saying that like that they advertise the possibility of like virtual court side tickets where.
I heard it, Well, they didn't, but I heard some people talking about that as a possibility, where now that was something that sounded really cool to me because I would never be able to afford or have an inclination to spend that kind of money on.
Court side tickets.
But as you always talk about on Miles and jackgob Matt Boosti's thank you for it's an experience being able to sort of see these people do their thing up close, And yeah, I might be able to I might be willing to pay for that kind of experience.
And that has been a thing you can like do virtual reality court side tickets already. But this seemed like the combination of like how like the fact that this is an improvement on vision as opposed to like all
the other like virtual reality stuff that I've seen. It just doesn't I don't know, it doesn't feel quite as like this feels like a thing where you could buy one of these and if they didn't have the one user profile, you could just like sell tickets like courts tee tickets and like have people come through in your living room and just like yeah, I mean.
I at the end of the day, I mean like, I still I don't see what it solves. The only thing that I really truly see is like, oh, they just made the most lit TV slash computer monitor I've ever seen.
It is a little confusing because they are essentially billing it as it is a standalone computer with its own operating system, and they're billing it as you can replace all your Apple shit with it, but also conversely, you.
Can tie all your Apple shit.
You already have through it to it and use it in conjunction with all this stuff. So it's it begs a lot of questions.
Yeah, you mentioned the possibility that like you can walk up to your MacBook and like look at the screen of your MacBook and then like what's on the screen off into like the reality of like your living room and just like yeah.
Which is totally totally It sounds cool on its face, but then you're like, well, what the fuck do I have a I don't know, It's like what the fuck do I have a laptop for if I have this thing and I can just put.
A screen in where right?
Yeah, yeah, because I'm like I need a type I don't need the voice.
Again, if you're interested in this, you probably are appled up to your eyeballs.
For sure, and now you'll be appled up into your eyeballs on the inside of your eyeballs. It just seems like it could just be like a neat trick. Even so, it's a very good trick, like the stuff that they debuted with it, and it also feels like it's like the downsides that people are mentioning is that it's like a heavy battery pack and it's fucking way way those two hours, and it lasts for two hours unless you have it like plugged in, which I'm sure people will do.
This will just replace like any need to move anywhere because you just have all all screens floating in front of you, everything that you need access to floating in front of you. It just feels bad for humanity.
Also, just a couple other things, just real quick. There is an OLED screen on the front of it which projects an image of your eyes so that when you're doing ar it'll automatically just project what your eyes look like through the goggles, almost as if it were transparent. Rhich is weird because it's set a couple of inches off of your face, so I have to imagine that would look weird.
Person, Like, the pictures that I've seen of it look weird. They look like they've like done like a thing with shadowing, so it looks like you're behind a shadowy like the screen thing. Yeah.
And then also you can take three D videos and photos, which in the demo it's like this dad doing treasured moment shit, but he's got these ski goggles on and it's like, Okay, that's you're really.
Living in the moment there, Like yeah.
It's then they like cut back to like that person enjoying these like three D image like wow, like my family left, but I have these memories.
It's like your kids don't even know what the fuck you look like when you take off the goggles.
They see a stranger. Yeah. Like, the cool parts of it remind me of like Minority Report, where he's like moving like screens around with his hand and just like filtering back and forth between different things. The bad parts remind me of that Black Mirror episode where like the camera is inside your eyes and you're like using it
to just like it. There is a version of this, like a future iteration of this product of the technology from the entire history of you, Yeah, where like where you're able to just keep these on when they have like a longer battery pack and then like run back through everything you've seen that day, like because they just say that, right, Yeah. So it's it seems like a dark new direction for reality and something that people are going to be super into.
Very intoxicating hooked though. I mean because like really, I think the people who would dish thirty five hundred dollars out it's not because they need like a more efficient way to like work while standing and they've always been waiting for augmented reality. It's I feel like the biggest hook right now is that it's this TV entertainment experience.
Uh, but I guess that's specifically for me. While they're gonna have to and they're gonna have to change the one profile thing so that you can like have friends over and like show let them fuck with it if they if they want it to. So hopefully they don't change that, and this just dies a quiet death. But I don't think that's gonna happen. To know you're making contact lenses next. Doesn't look good. All right, thank you Brian for coming on and sharing your Apple fanboyism. We
appreciate it. I love them apples. He's never owned a iPhone either, how about apples? Damn? That is that is dedication? Oh yeah, he's not. He's not fucking with that. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about some other stories. And we're back and let's run through him. Peter and Pete, Pete Davidson lois the Peta pets. Whoever wins, we lose? Yeah, yeah, don't. I don't know. The story seems made up by AI to me, but go ahead.
No, I mean it was just because like he he there was like some footage or someone snapped a picture of him buying a puppy with like whoever he's dating now, and then Peter saw that and they're like, wow, you know, should have fucking adopted blah blah blah, and was like criticizing him for that. So then Pete Davidson comes back with this like voicemail, just kind of being like here, I'll just playing this place right now.
David, this messrs daft now the scene. Thank you so much for making comments, probably that I didn't adopt the dog. I just want to let you know I'm severely allergic to dogs, so I have to get a specific breed. I'm only not allergic to ca A poods, those type of dogs. And my mom's dogs, who was two years old, died a week prior, and we're all so sad. So I had to get a specific dog. So why don't you do your research before you create news stories for people? Because you're a boring tire few and.
Okay, yeah, coming at you know, for him, and he's like, what did you say? He's only what what breed is that?
He said? Pool?
What's a Cava pool? I'm not sure it's it like a King Charles Cavalier with a pool. That's probably what it is.
Jack. You should know that I only know that name because you just came Charles.
Yeah it is, okay, Yeah, I love King Charles Cavaliers, so anyway, Cavia pools. But it is why where he's like, I like how he's so pressed though too, but I'm sure it's just stupid and be like, yeah, stop fucking coming, you know why my mom's fucking I would probably like that too, especially if like my mom's dog died and I'm trying to do something like to cheer her up or cheer myself up. But I mean you should also know that they're probably gonna, yeah, is not not the best.
No, not a great track record at all. L I V baby, the I don't know, Saudi backed Golf League Golf Tour.
Let's not, let's not let's let's not use euphemisms. They'll say the Saudi backed sports washing operation for their public image.
So they this is basically a competitor to the main Professional golf Association PGA tour. They like bought some of the best players, and we're like, we'll pay you more than the PGA, and we'll have these event prizes and we'll legally help you get out of your contract. And so they'd just been the PGA and this organization had been suing the shit out of each other for years, and the PGA just announced that they're going to merge.
So after like a long, hard fought like publicity war where they're like, these people are the worst, They're like, and we're going to buy them. So a lot of people are comparing it to the Michael Scott's company. They're
doing a merger. Yeah, yeah, PGA is merging with l IV, right, and yeah, Michael Scott paper company is trending because like Michael Scott started his like rival company to dunder Miflin, but it was like super incompetent, and then he got bailed out because they were like, well, we better buy it.
And that's really not the case. I guess, like in this case, the company that owns or the fund that owns l IV is worth six hundred billion dollars and they just like used that money to spend the PGA into having to merge with them, which I wouldn't give a shit at all about this story. But yeah, like you said, it's a sports washing operation for the Saudi government.
You know, when like the CEO of l IV Golf is this famous golfer Greg Norman, and people are like so like they're bad though, right, And he was like, what about like Yemen? What about like Hashogg? And he said, look, I think everybody learns from their mistakes. Mike. They're like, oh, but like have they And he said, yeah, I don't know. And he said way before any of this, who hah erupted and he had been so I don't know, Greg, I was dismissive. Greg Norman. Doesn't he have the dumb
shark brand? Yeah he was white Jack and.
Was not.
Yeah, this is I thought. He is on a tear man.
They have They own Newcastle United, the soccer team in the Premier League, and they're doing their things just like open up the floodgates.
And this is like what this is how sports watching works.
You provide enough people with like good memories via sports, it helps erode all the terrible fucking things because people are caught in between the places like but I love golf, so like, I guess I can excuse some of this shit. You know, Like once this guy Roman Abramovitch bought Chelsea, who was like a Russian oligarch to try and protect
himself from Putin. Like people were like, oh wow, this guy who outwardly might not have a great sort of reputation because he's bringing all this like joy to this section of the country. Like it slowly helps, you know, again, obscure your crimes or your past transgressions.
Yeah, we're at the point in late stage capitalism or hypercapitalism. I don't know how late the stage is, to be honest, seams like it's only ramping up. I mean, we're on fascism's doorsteps, so this is we're maybe the transitioning to to just straight up fascism. But we're at that stage where all morality has been taken out. It's just like, whoever has the most money, we will find a way to come around to telling a positive version of their story.
Right before this who haha started with all this who ha ha started? What else? The NYPD debuted their Happy Pride Month cars and people are pointing out that so it says happy Pride months and then underneath it says all colors are beautiful, which people are pointing out is uh, you know has the same initials as ACAB and seems like it wouldn't be a coincidence. No, that's that's called being very clever.
Yeah, and you're riding designer because yet I mean, I don't think someone within the police force made that, but anyway, I think I saw Margaret Kiljoy.
She tweeted about it when I first saw this, and I was like, this is fucking amazing. That's right.
They're so like oblivious to this kind of shit where it's like that's a cab.
Fam you don't see that. They're like, no, oh is that bad? This isn't this is no, this is a squad car. This isn't a cab. We at first we had all colors are beautiful, especially blue as relates to the thin blue line. But we we made a quick change on that. So is this bad? Yeah? And then Grimace is back. I like, not that any of our listeners and is back. So there's that what happened with Grimace? Wait? Was Grimace gone? The big purpose monster never left my heart?
But I think they had, uh, you know, steered their branding away from Grimace on the grounds that he's like kind of gross looking, and so they they're bringing back the character of Grimace because of nostalgia. And in case you're like, don't realize that nostalgia is what it's about. Their image of like bringing Grimace back is him driving
a Dolorean. I'm in personalized plates that say Grimace, and it's all part of an attempt to like, I guess McDonald's birthday parties are a nostalgic a thing that people talk about on social media nostalgically, right, but people don't do anymore even though they're available. Everyone's like, yeah, we wouldn't do them. Like the stories we're telling when we're nostalgic about McDonald's birthday parties or like of people getting badly injured or you know, getting E coli from a ball pit.
We're talking off mic about how people he knew had like their whole bases like rearranged from terrible impacts from falling down at a play I mean, I remember we talked about on one episode just about the terrible track record that McDonald's play Places has for safet.
Yeah. Yeah, they have just like a whole legal team dedicated to like making McDonald's playplace cases go away. But yeah, so there's going to be a Grima's Birthday meal featuring a purple milkshake, also a Grimace video game and merchandise, so just to like capitalize on this stuff. This is this always works out. Well, yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun. Wait, what's the purple milkshake? That's curious?
Is it?
Is it if someone can make like an ube, like a potato, like a sweet you know, like a taro one.
Or they're just purple the way that that, like Mountain Dew flavor was just like the most purple ass ship that anyone's ever tasted, and.
Our minds purple would just be grape, right like if we as a kid, purple is grape cherries red like, and that's sort of what red flavor was. Either that between strawberry and cherry would be red.
But grape milkshake doesn't seem right. Oh no, it sounds terrible. That's a mess. There's no real reason that it should be such a like such a problem for me, but there, Yeah, there's just something about the grape that only works in certain contexts, like any purple grape milkshake. Have you ever did you ever eat like yogurt covered raisins and ship? Oh yeah? So what the fuck are you saying? You're
kind of mixing grapes with the dairy right there? Raisins in my in my brain, raisins aren't grapes, you know, like I know they are, but like that they're totally different. Like I would never eat chocolate covered grapes, but I love raisinets, you know. Yeah, yeah, I just yeah, I just can't the grape with dairy. It's weird.
I feel like it's like one of the few fruits that I just could never like I could see like a vanilla with Kiwi kind of thing.
Even, Yeah, but like grapes, Yeah, like it works with Is there another fruit that works so badly with with like as a milkshake flavor? Wou Yeah? Apple, I feel like you kind of need it to be apple pie, like apple a la mode type thing. Yeah yeah, yeah you can't. It can't just be like this tastes like red delicious Yeah yeah, yeah, No, that are like shit.
I'm really I'm really hard pressed to think because even people like orange apple like orange chocolate.
Shit, I can't stand like that kind of stuff. Yeah, watermelon, it was a victor made the good point that watermelon milkshakes don't work. I mean they could because if it's like watermelon candy flavored milkshake, but yes, like a jolly rancher. Yeah, something about that feels if.
You want to fucking like get the truth out of me, torture me by making me eat watermelon jolly ranchers.
I cannot fucking stand that flavor.
Like it always tasted like gasoline or something to me, Like I don't know what part of my palate.
It was hitting. But nah, well I'm glad our listeners gotta peek into what it's like when I pitch something and you don't like it. Off, Mic is usually go what watermelon? Oh no, throwing up sounds. So that's that's a good little window. Yeah, super producer Brian does make a good point. It could just be uh, Grimace come flavored, because we Grimace is all purple everything, So I'm assuming, Wow, maybe I think it's secretion d I'm saying, yeah, I'm
taking it up a notch. Welcome to the New Daily Guys. We're drinking folks, grim Is come all right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday, June sixth.
