okay we're very exciting show Glee today I'm gonna tell you about is that okay can I carry on we're gonna be talking about the Google pixel - and the Google pixel - XL what's good about the bad about them you know we're gonna be talking about the fact that Western societies chronologically err chronologically chronically sleep-deprived everyone has been chronologically ordered in levels of sleep deprivation and they're all sleep deprived and it's chronic we're clearly I can't speak and we're gonna be talking about our Lord of Saveur Jake naps new to-do list system that he wrote a little blog post about and honestly it's a goodie it's a goodie so we I love you and I think of that jake has to say we want to hear it and we're going to be talking about an incredible little special tech extravaganza explosive bit of news something you might not know something you did just don't know you definitely don't know this yes so gonna be talking about that as well so that's all coming up on yeah I know you guys have missed us we've been away for three three weeks I'm how did you even did you did you hear any tech news like probably no cuz I know that this was your number one source mm-hmm but my aunt said that she missed so I feel that's reason enough power I'm kit and this is sprit what we do on this show is I'm the type of guy that sends you a lot of links and expects you to read them Brittany is the type of person that like yeah exactly so instead of me sending links to Brittany all week which I still do we now do a show where I then share the links with Brittany and Brittany can you know keep me humid perfect should talk at length about how well I've just done so the first the first thing we're going to talk about today is the big technology news release of the week as the Google picks their game and they're just kind of like they're they're ready yeah Kyle can I ask you a question how many years until and people get a bit bored of Apple and stop buying things all the time from Apple Kyle doesn't think it's going to stop I think I think I think we'll start to see at least a crack in three years but they may rebound from it I'm not saying that's it they're not gonna go in the way of my favorite for whenever the BlackBerry you have some news you've gotten used from the inside so the pixel I want to talk about some of their elements of the pixel it actually looks really cool I think I'm just I'm excited to see something that simply looks different okay generally mean it's actually a little bit too almost retro it's quite nineties looking so this is this is the form yeah I honestly really don't mind it but I think the main reason I don't mind is because it's just simply different yeah that's what I like about it yeah it's like Oh something else that's not allowed no I actually saw this other pixel 2 and pixel 2x out obviously the name is a problem but until do you know what I think the tech industry needs to do if they need to not just create new forms products laptops they need to create new letters for the alphabet so they can make new names because I've got X and Pixar Excel that's almost the same so the interesting things for the first I'm gonna start with the first thing which I find a strange about the pixel well this might be a pixel heavy episode I think I think it's okay that it's fixed on heavy hope so depicts the two you know when you have to get your phone out to shazam things yes but so one of the things about sonic fixes you're like getting it out you're like getting the album you don't you know doing all this canister I mean if you just come and take a breath it's really own it it's about 12 seconds but 12 seconds is the worst amount time in court but 12 seconds is a nothing time it builds my brain my people so instead the way they've solved this is the pixel to will always be listening for ambient music right so it can constantly Shazam for you all the time weird I'm hoping you can turn it off but they'll probably let you think you can turn it off and if we speak to and it's Northern he'll be like it still on me so another thing you can do it's it's got this thing called the assistant squeeze which like sounds like something you like multiple lawsuits for but what it is the assistant squeeze it's terrible name again like the names unbelievably bad the thesis but I don't know if this is the official name or how it's been referred to and it should stop being referred to as the assistant squeeze yeah so the idea is instead of like tapping or whatever you squeeze your phone and then as with google google assistant in this in this case and well for Siri there's those two things now you can go hey Siri my mind apparently is not working hey City you can just go and set up I am NOT gonna you start it's not using virtual AI assistants until I could squeeze my form to speak to them yeah so another another factor and I thought that this was interesting and it must use the same kind of technologies the face idea is that the Google assistant this may be a thing that people use it for sports it can recognize what your phone is pointed out so if you probably at that it'll go definitely whiskey 100% what is this a Google assistant and you're the assistant go 100% whiskey absolutely whiskey about the percent nothing else that could possibly be in the glass except for whiskey yeah 100% whiskey and sometimes I think it's it's just juice yeah cheers to Google always listening hey what's up next kid okay it's just going on to the just going on to the AG and smart Facebook pitch here well if these links live and this article here it's basically arguing there's a lot of studies at the mall and this is kind of see something's going on four years is in with regards to Western society being chronically sleep-deprived and and the the studies mentioned in this article in The Guardian and I mean talking about body talking about how things you just can't mess with that are like for example do you do you have to what you have to do anytime you go anywhere you have to stay up until a reasonable hour to go to sleep so you let's say you go to Canada yeah so you leave here and like I don't like maybe maybe yeah let's say let's say I leave at noon I would land there around like 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. but for me that's like middle of the night this time but I'm exhausting when I arrive right unless I've slept on a plane but I'm exhausted but you have to push through to like 9 or 10 p.m. so you would stay up that what essentially for dinner pinch yourself you got a plan okay wonderful I really like the I am and people always tell me like if the different you don't just have one body clock you have like almost a mental and a body clock like a brain clock and oh my god and one of the reasons that the air jet lag is so disorienting is because you're you're mentally you can get you you can guess you can work out what time it is where you are much faster than your brain picks upon external signals so the problem isn't your body clock full-stop it's this is out of sync with this so your mind clock is that a single different things in a day time but your body's feeling like it's nice it hasn't caught up with your mind and that's and I find that fascinating super-agent yeah so M this is saw so much stuff on this so one of the one of the movements and this is this is I find really fascinating is like the sleep names in general we have problems with with anything yeah I think we should just start renaming everything so what okay if we're gonna do that what would be the Google pixel for Google Google oh no just good just just Google for just yeah what's the current Google thought that's the name of it you don't give a new name okay so the sleep hygiene movement of things like um it's like your personal hygiene like yeah that would be neutral sleep hygiene that would be the correct use of the term until this week silly names where people just think I'm steep aging like it's no you wouldn't get it yeah he wouldn't get it it's not that so what are we calling sleep hygiene the sleep hygiene movement oh my god what about just likes undisturbed sleep better in the toilet they're talking about this and the importance of like how works so chronically sleep-deprived and the good problems this is having it's gonna like it's gonna be something that we have problems with like four years time cause we like oh we're not smoking we're not binge drinking that much or whatever you know you know we're not we've got a better understanding of things like cholesterol and all this is the thing that's gonna get us that's why the duck yeah that's what you'd adapt it yeah that's what I did oh my god like it yes Western society who will get some sleep just sleeping better and lots of it yeah all right I'm ready for number three the MaxLite now I have to go into the scheduled posts or Facebook and post this so it's official oh no where's a good man so this next one is about our Lord and Savior and chikna and so it is an app attack is my guy yeah yeah are you sure with these guys yeah this is something which is it's just a little cutie a little cutie of a little a little thing we posted on our exciting company Uncle Jake nap The Godfather the design methodology Jake now it may just be the first human to solve to-do lists and if anyone can give us a good idea in this guy I mean the guy is not only like just super intelligent but he's like so nice yeah he is so nice I mean he's the one who developed the design spread meat which is like process driven step by step very concrete way of working [Music] yeah and he's obsessed he's just so obsessed with like very generous with it as well he's obsessed with finding away and then sharing that way that's - that's his entire Dharma on planet Earth so I really like this one this okay so very simply if you think of it this is a piece of paper you have a line down the middle simple as that this is your basically first first kind of like priority so let's say you were in this in this example you were filming a movie so you've got film movie and then do all the tasks in relation to your absolute number one focus right okay so on the other side it would be let's say you have a secondary focus let's say you are a filmmaker filming a movie and you're also creating a website so that you can get other work and pay for your movies movie so that would be your secondary kind of priority here so you have your min your secondary and then you have like a miscellaneous list or like you know classic way of saying just find the worst way of seeing yeah let's just use that so and so basically it's as simple as that and I'd like if anyone anyone who's struggling with to do this and you're just like oh I need to I just want anything just help me get through the mountain of nonsense that I'm dealing with at the moment this might help you pick the good stuff from the nonsense anyways he just he's like prioritizing he's getting you to take your to-do list and categorize it and then prioritize the categories so that wouldn't be prioritized the actual ratio to actual the category it's yeah it's the ritualistic thing as well as me it's like constantly checking in with what your actual main and priority actually it's I know sometimes it's unclear your brain doesn't really keep these things segment it correctly yes but there's no there's no cure oh there isn't but it is nice to know they got some options out there I really like this one though yeah it's got yeah I really like this one for kind of you to get your priorities right in your head so so anyway thank you Jake cheers to the now attack the NAP attack well I think that the big reveal needs to happen now oh yeah yeah okay I get it like what you talk about it I'll google it now as a moment you've all been waiting for this is one of the biggest pieces of tech news to hit like to hit us for a couple I would say 10 years oh yeah yeah I mean yes since the beginning attacks since the beginning of tech blackberry has released their newest phone for us this is like this is just one of those things that were just so excited about because I don't know he knew this but kit here big blackberry fan I love the BlackBerry so much I miss it and I friend sent me he heard me talking about this and I was like I want to buy a blackberry and also I was just out of all of my friends I was known as like the best email and the reason was because of the the actual buttons so you could sit on the tube London tab on the tube and you could handle your emails while off Wi-Fi or any network right and you could write them all and then press send and then you'd have like on the tube you'd have let all these drafts and now when you walk out the tube and you'd hit network [Music] all these people just get hit back just well-crafted emails that I've written with like yes so it's called the BlackBerry motion the BlackBerry motion it was a secret room release it wasn't there was no build-up to it at all yeah which my truck you know I'm infuriated by though actually now it has a touchscreen stick to your guns yeah I mean come on so I spoke to boots und the one of our resident UX designers here like this is like ages ago like because yes that d-down these always be my like go to persons like please explain this UX thing to me he's always been my person and I've got to D and I was like Rd please can you explain just this one UX related thing why do the Black Creek why not touchy buttons anymore and then I'm actually excited about this but not I'm not excited about the M the fact that there's no buttons and I'm sure a lot of people won't be excited about that and also yeah I'm very excited on see ya don't do that thing where you put pork your face in the camera thank you yes please we're just talking about the new blackberry new black thoughts on the new blood group it's gotta be coming a little bit just in case you're not in it so it's got its got a touchscreen though [Music] so someone's using the name black utility before we've done enough oh we've done enough mr. Gary Oh mr. Gary mr. Gary just hollering people on bbm again yeah so that was that was product power of number four yes yeah which is very exciting and we'll be doing this every week you know every now and again we might have to miss a week or two yeah you think we need three bricks race where artists yeah I mean we need sleep as well we were just talking about that exactly the reason all to come yeah so I hope you enjoyed it I have different a like if you liked it give us a subscribe if you haven't already oh yeah that'd be cool and yes follow us on our on our other stuff too like you know we release things that are there okay visually yeah some real visual extravaganzas yeah and give us a little comment if you got anything you want to say other thing you want to ask [Music]
