0078: Robots At Work, Verizon Woes, And Doomsday Hype

Ever stared at “SOS” on your phone and wondered what happens when the network blinks? We open 2026 with a real-world stress test from the Verizon outage, then pivot straight into the technologies that promise fewer interruptions and more autonomy. From satellite connectivity and eSIM redundancy to the next wave of AI assistants, we’re mapping how reliability becomes the killer feature this year.

Our tour through CES 2026 is a front-row seat to what’s next. Smart glasses are shedding bulk to look like real eyewear, smart rings are turning sleep and recovery into daily coaching, and speakers are getting tougher, brighter, and more immersive. The big swing, though, is mobility and robotics: full-width digital dashboards, driverless pods cruising Las Vegas, and short-hop flying taxis inching from demo to deployment. We unpack what’s shipping now, what’s still a prototype, and how to think about upgrades, support, and resale in a software-defined car era.

Then we dive into the robot reality check. Industrial machines like Atlas will change warehouse and high-risk work first, while pricey humanoids pitch companionship and at-home help. We debate real use cases, forecast a consumer price ceiling around $20–25k, and explain why competition—especially from Asia—will compress costs fast. Along the way, we keep the culture pulse strong: Doom hype, a rare Avengers–X‑Men–Fantastic Four convergence, and a must-watch recommendation for Andor if you want grown-up, political sci‑fi that sticks. Sports fans get quick hits on NHL form, NBA standings, and NFL picks to round out a packed hour.

If you’re curious about CES trends, robotics and jobs, EV timelines, smart rings, autonomous vehicles, and the future of entertainment, this one’s for you. Hit play, subscribe, and drop your take: which emerging tech would you bring home first—and why?

SPEAKER_02: 0:00

I would say that we need to get ready for robots. I'm ready. Yeah. Yeah, like we need to get ready for robots serving food, uh robots directing traffic, robots as toys for kids, um, either like mobile dog robots for companionship for older people.

SPEAKER_04: 0:18

The humanoid robot that look really, really realistic as a regular human being. Humanoid robots, friends, not just workers. This humanoid robot is it looks really nice, really unique, really good. 175,000. Yes. Um I'm not too sure, but here's the catch. If you're smart enough, your 175,000 can turn into millions of dollars. Because you can use the same gadget to work for you instead of you going out there working.

SPEAKER_02: 0:52

Yeah, yeah. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Yeah, what up, D Hustle? What's going on? Chilling, my guy. You know, the new year's just beginning. Happy 2026. Happy 2026. Uh, we're grateful to be here. Grateful 2025 was so good. Yeah, yeah. 2026 is gonna be more lit.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39

They're saying all in the comments. Look at you, Mr. Uh Jay J Jay-Z, you're fog too kind. Give him an encore. That's what he wants.

SPEAKER_00: 1:45

Amen.

SPEAKER_02: 1:46

Uh well, welcome y'all to episode number 78. Um, it is our first episode for 2026 here at the Tech Hustle Podcast. If this is the first time you're here, welcome. Uh, if you've been here before, welcome back. Um, and y'all know how we do it. We usually have a nice conversation where technology, engineering, and the culture intersects. Um, and we're basically here to level everybody up. Uh, we got a few different topics we're gonna cover today. Um, a little bit shift from what we did last year because the data has shown us where y'all like to hang out and chat up a little bit. Um, but definitely want to encourage you all if you haven't seen our old episodes, go through our archives. I mean, I actually went through it, we got 77 episodes of you know regular podcasts, and then about 20, 30, actually four, no, 30 episodes of backstage with Bobby D.

SPEAKER_01: 2:33

Wow.

SPEAKER_02: 2:33

Um, so we've been doing a lot of work out here, and the streets is hollering at us, man. They're telling us to do more. So, congratulations to you both. Um, and yeah, thank y'all so much. Congratulations to you too. Yes, I'm trying. Raymond don't remember nobody. Yeah, he don't know anything else going on. Raymond just says, make sure you turn it up for me, bro. But let me give you a quick run of the show, how we're gonna knock it down. Um, we're gonna really keep it in the podcast mindset, so it's always open conversation. Um, first up, we're gonna have tech current events. D Hustle's gonna come through with that. Um then we're gonna have Raymond's Nuggets. Uh, give him give him his sound. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Best Nuggets in the world. Best nuggets in the world. But but D Hustle likes to throw some other sounds out there for him sometimes.

SPEAKER_04: 3:20

In case you guys haven't heard of me talk, let me give him his uh special. Inaccurate. It used to be Obby's, but it has transferred all the time. You see that, right?

SPEAKER_03: 3:29

Uh the real winner. The hate is real. Hate is real. I'm shooting, what is it, 90?

SPEAKER_02: 3:35

Hold on a second. Listen to what he said. When you said you're shooting what?

SPEAKER_03: 3:38

I'm shooting over 90%.

SPEAKER_02: 3:40

He's always shooting something.

SPEAKER_04: 3:42

That's just not the problem. I'm always shooting 90%. First yeah was 99, 95.

SPEAKER_03: 3:48

I'm not going to 99, but I'm saying like the high 90s.

SPEAKER_02: 3:52

The high 90s. Yeah.

unknown: 3:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 3:54

Well, your audience let us know. Please let us know. Please. Uh the data, other than what I'm seeing.

SPEAKER_03: 4:01

Nuggets are good.

SPEAKER_02: 4:03

Yeah, yeah. But but y'all make your own judgment and definitely want to encourage y'all to get in the comments and let Raymond know how well he's doing. Um, after Raymond's Nuggets, we're gonna have uh a quick tech talk. Um, it's slightly changing this year. Last year I was heavily on AI. I'm not saying I'm not talking about AI, but this year we're gonna be talking about um tech recap. Um went to a conference this year, early in the year, CES. If you haven't heard about it, I definitely got some insights. Um and definitely want to hear, you know, some some you know responses back from the guys about uh some of the tech that came out that I'm gonna be mentioning. So let's all stay tuned for that. Then we'll have sports. You you got your sports sound? Yeah, yeah, I already know what's up. D Hustle's coming back for some sports. I know, right? Um, I feel like we hadn't had a chance to chat up about it. Um, and then we'll close it out with an outro. We're definitely gonna be shouting out our sponsors. A new sponsor is popping up this year, so we're definitely a new sponsor. You know, we're always trying to support the fam. Um, and then uh we'll close it out. What do y'all think, fellas? Yeah, sounds good to me. Um you can say, yeah, you see. My guy's already queued up, he's ready to go. Uh but we are gonna find a new sound for you for tech current events. We gotta have something kicking out. Um maybe somebody in the audience could, you know, send us some tracks that y'all want to hear us drop on the TechCurrent events, um, and maybe even a new segment. I don't know. We'll see how it all plays out. Uh, but we got my guy D Hustles up. Um go ahead and give us some insights into some new tech stuff, bro.

SPEAKER_04: 5:29

All right. Well, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody who wherever you are. Happy 2026. Hopefully, you guys had a phenomenal time with your family and friends, starting the new year's right. Uh, but unfortunately, I have to start the new year's with a womp womp womp. I don't know if you guys heard, if you guys have Verizon, uh-huh. Verizon had a major power outage um for everybody. Yeah. Uh people was trying to send text messages, phone calls, uh, nothing was going through. Everybody was on the famous SOS. Yeah, yeah. Uh seems like here from what it says, a hundred and seventy thousand of people were impacted by, I think it's a little bit more. Maybe this information here is inaccurate. Yeah, yeah. Uh, but we it they said we understand how important reliable connectivity and we apologize for the inconvenience. Um I'm going to the store asking for my money. Facts. Uh, because that is a day of uh not content an emergency could have happened. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02: 6:37

Um so they were basically on uh SOD. Don't you know when he says you're an LTE or 5G or whatever, that thing said SOS. SOS. That that's kind of scary though.

SPEAKER_04: 6:48

So today is well, yesterday. Yesterday, January 14, uh what happened, Verizon was down for tens of thousands of users on Wednesday, according to outage tracker website, uh downdetector.com. Um it seems that it was aware of the engineers were basically saying that they are working on it, but it took them all day to figure it out. Wow. Eventually they did figure it out, um, and now people are trying to say the Apple satellite connectivity no longer limits with to emergencies. So there are now they want to compare Apple with uh Apple with uh Android? Android.

SPEAKER_02: 7:32

Yeah. That that's actually I don't know if y'all know about that feature inside of Apple that it could worst case scenario connect to quote unquote a satellite to send a SOS message. Um but uh my question is is D said he would go back and get his money, right? Yeah. Um how about you, Raymond? What would what would you do if Verizon or your provider went down? Are you switching or what would you would play?

SPEAKER_03: 7:52

Yeah, so thank you for bringing this article up. It makes sense now when my coworker was asking me yesterday what service do I have for my cell phone company. Ah, okay, okay. Okay, he's like, Well, what do you use, Ray? So he had, I guess he had Verizon down. Okay, yeah, I would definitely probably try to get my money back or something. Yeah. Yeah. But being down a whole day, that's crazy. So here's the catch.

SPEAKER_04: 8:12

Doesn't continue, continue.

SPEAKER_03: 8:13

Yeah, no, that's that's crazy.

SPEAKER_04: 8:14

Yeah, yeah. This will only happen for iPhone users. Only for iPhone users? Only for iPhone. So message, here it goes. Uh Message uh via satellite are currently supported only on iPhone 14 and new models, including the latest iPhone 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and anybody who's running iOS 26.

SPEAKER_02: 8:34

Wow. They they they definitely had something off on their programming.

SPEAKER_03: 8:38

Um use Verizon in here?

SPEAKER_02: 8:41

No, I used to have Verizon. Actually, my phone number starts off with that Verizon sequence that everybody, when they first read my number, they'd be like, oh, you've yeah, I used to Verizon was my very first provider. Right. Um, but then they screwed up my credit, so then I said, F that, I'm going somewhere else. Um but yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 8:57

Shit, my first provider was uh T Mobile. T Mobile? Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 9:01

How about you, Raymond? Um, I just switched. I had T-Mobile for the longest.

SPEAKER_02: 9:05

ATT T-Mobile or just T-Mobile by the city. So you got cricket? Uh no, I got Xfinity now. Yeah. Xfinity.

SPEAKER_03: 9:12

Oh, you bundled it up with your uh bundle up, they just got a deal ten bucks a month for a year.

SPEAKER_02: 9:18

What? So you didn't get a discount on your cable?

SPEAKER_03: 9:20

Well, they gave me faster internet and all that. Oh, that's what he means by bundle.

SPEAKER_02: 9:23

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 9:24

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 9:25

So I got you, bro.

SPEAKER_03: 9:26

We gotta start the video off again.

SPEAKER_04: 9:30

I got you, D. I got you. I'm not understanding the terminology.

SPEAKER_03: 9:34

Well, yeah, I got Xfinity. So yeah, 10 bucks a month for a year.

SPEAKER_02: 9:39

Well, I mean, I I I I don't know. Verizon, uh, that that type of situation definitely would warrant me to go uh potentially switch up. I've always actually wanted to have more than one SIM card in my phone, which I you can technically do with something called eSIM. Have y'all seen that? Um anymore to do electronic sims. Uh but yeah, I mean Verizon's gonna go have to write a few checks.

SPEAKER_03: 10:02

But can't you just put your phone on Wi-Fi and still make calls though?

SPEAKER_02: 10:05

Can you put your phone on Wi-Fi? You'll be able to put your phone on Wi-Fi and use iMessage, but you won't be able to use your phone number through the phone line. So iMessage doesn't iMessage is basically utilizing data. Right. So if you are thinking about your cell phone, just think of your cell phone having two antennas. One being one connected to a cell phone tower and then one that you connect to the Wi-Fi. But iMessage actually uses the data. So when you're using iMessage through the cell phone, you're actually using cell phone data. But if you connect to Wi-Fi, guess what? You get data, so iMessage should work. So um they definitely had had that opportunity to switch back and forth. But I would actually have to read the report even more because it sounded like it's specifically Apple users, so there could have been more issues with Apple than than we know. So um that's wild. Well, somebody's gonna be writing checks.

SPEAKER_03: 10:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 10:57

Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_04: 10:58

Yeah, and then all Verizon users write me a check. I'm an ATT, so we need that whenever you get to check.

SPEAKER_03: 11:03

I wonder what kind of credit they're gonna give.

SPEAKER_04: 11:04

Yeah, you know, five dollars. Five dollars. That's what it gave me last time, was five dollars. Oh, that's cool. Uh five I I know people say five dollars is five dollars. No, five dollars is not fucking five dollars when you have uh when you're paying for a hundred and thirty-side dollars worth of found lines and stuff like that. Five dollars is not gonna cut it for me. Yeah. But uh, we appreciate ATT your Trump change that you want to give us. Um it is what it is. Anyway, I digress next to the new new things. I want to give a big, big shout out to Honda. Honda's having a nice Honda Zero is called the series, it gets delayed for 2027. You know what I tell you the truth? I didn't even know Honda was bringing out something now. Wow. Um this Honda SUV uh supposed to be pretty uh sleek slash of course it's electric. Um it is one of those nice I don't know, I don't know how what's the word prestige.

SPEAKER_02: 12:02

Oh, there we go.

SPEAKER_04: 12:03

There you go. It's a nice prestige vehicle here that needs to be um looked at. Yeah. Uh the Acura RSX uh is the first series of the electric that's coming out, as you can see here, and then the other one, which is gonna be the Honda uh SUV uh zero, which I just showed everybody on Discord. A starting rate on this is gonna be 50,000. Wow. Um starting off. Uh so if you guys want to see what that looks like there, go ahead and take a look into that. That's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_02: 12:33

Um question for you, real quick, D. Uh so you said Accra and Honda, is they like one and the same company?

SPEAKER_04: 12:38

So there is, so there's Sing Company. Acra and Honda Sync Company. Acra is the regular model, and then the luxurious Acra is right on top. Oh, so the Honda's the regular and regular Joe Schmo and then the luxury brand is uh the active. So another example, Toyota, and then you have Lexus.

SPEAKER_02: 12:56

Uh same company. I got you, I got you.

SPEAKER_04: 12:58

Stuff like that. So yeah, this one is uh right, it's called the Honda Zero Series Panum. It has a hundred volt cap um capabil uh capability on it. Um it has uh a new AI assist uh for everybody who is trying to get their EV on.

SPEAKER_02: 13:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it looks slick. I mean Yeah, it does look retro. Uh I won't say that um EVs nowadays has gotten to a point where um I'm I I'm down for it. I'm I'm not I'm not hesitating um to purchase an EV. Um and I think we're gonna get even more of these type of cars because China has EVs for days. You've reported multiple, you know, uh better versions of all the ones that we have out here. Um and I'm happy Honda, Japanese company finally catching up.

SPEAKER_04: 13:44

Um Honda has an EV now. Yeah, I mean they have a prologue which I own. Yeah, uh, it's not bad. Um it's pretty cool. Um, I like it. Yeah. Uh no issue. Well, there I do have an issue with the EV. All right, Honda. Listen up, listen up. Uh as far as it. I don't know what it is, but I do know when I turn, it sounds like the car has CV axles and it's making a click, click, click, click now. So I don't know, maybe it needs some WD-40. I don't know what it is. I never worked on electric vehicles. Yeah. Uh would I start? No. Uh, because I might get shocked. I don't even know where to start off with.

SPEAKER_02: 14:28

Yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't know about that either. Going under there. I don't blame you. Raymond's under there. Well, we're not gonna sit in Raymond for short.

SPEAKER_03: 14:36

No, I'm not mechanical reclined at all. So no.

SPEAKER_02: 14:40

Give him a computer, he'll do, but a car, like uh I probably want to stay away from it.

SPEAKER_04: 14:45

Yeah, so that's a nice new vehicle for everybody who's looking for EV, but unfortunately it won't come on until 2027. So just in case you guys give you guys a heads up on retro.

SPEAKER_02: 14:54

Yeah, I I like it. I think it looks slick. Um, I I think it's way better than the freaking uh Cybertruck that uh uh Tesla came out with, even though it definitely has that like uh new retro looking. Yeah, I even like the Honda sign in front of it. So another thing, just to let you mention, or just that what D M D Hustle mentioned is he dropped it inside of Discord. If you're not in Discord, hit us up. You can see all the links, all the images, and we'll definitely uh be dropping more stuff in there. So um just a quick plug.

SPEAKER_04: 15:22

Sounds good. And last but not least, the last one for me, uh I did so. Since Bobby went to uh the lovely uh CES conference, I was able to uh see. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to go probably catch the next one. For sure. But I did see a couple stuff that caught my eye. I'm not gonna get into it with this podcast, uh, maybe the next one, because I might send that one to my next one. But at one that really caught my eye was the humanoid robot that looked really, really realistic as a regular human being. I just added it on Discord, ladies and gentlemen, is just here. Uh it says humanoid robots, friends, not just workers. So as you can see, she looks really real. They even added a nice touch of blue eyes for all you freaky guys out there who's looking forward.

SPEAKER_03: 16:09

Well, they gotta be freaky.

SPEAKER_04: 16:11

Uh, because I knew the audience knew who I was going for. His mic turned up really quick. Um very nice, real realistic. Uh$175,000 for this beautiful AI robot humanoid. Now, if you guys have not seen that movie uh from Megan Ryan, is it Megan Ryan? Megan Fox. I apologize. That she was uh uh oh my god, she was a robot. Uh she was like a nanny.

SPEAKER_02: 16:45

Oh, I remember that one. Um I I can't remember what it's called. She was just a robot, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 16:50

Real realistic and everything that the wife was sick, and then I guess the guy hired the nanny. Uh well, he went to like a a convention. Yeah, yeah. Correct. And that's where he's seen it at, and they made him buy one of these. Actually, the daughter won it. Correct, correct. Yeah, the freaking um the robot. Robot nanny, yeah. Uh, real realistic, looks good. Um, I did put it on here in Discord for you guys to able to see. Um, I I guess basically what happens is is things are changing, as you can see.

SPEAKER_03: 17:23

So what you're saying is women need to be looking out.

SPEAKER_04: 17:26

I mean like humans for your words, uh looking out.

SPEAKER_02: 17:30

I mean, it's it's uh I'll tell you this. Uh the movie that D Hussel's talking about, uh he's gonna go find it right now. Um it really was an inflection point for me of like how AI is not only there to um support um the family in certain ways, but it started to find ways to support uh the male of the house in certain ways. Um and it it definitely looks like it's realistic in what direction we're heading on. Because I've seen robots when I was at CES that um subsevins, something like that. That that literally made me feel like, man, that definitely looks like a human being. Really? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 18:17

Whatever.

SPEAKER_02: 18:18

No, it looked like a real human. Okay. Um and the thing about CES, and we'll talk more about a little bit later, is that everybody's bringing their best prototype of everything, right? So whatever they have in the labs, that's the best one out, they definitely put that out there. Um But my question is, um, especially for Raymond, uh, do you find that these are impeding you uh from locking in a mate, or would you be like, hey, I can just get myself a robot. Why even mess around, right?

SPEAKER_03: 18:48

Um what I find is mate should just y'all better like be on the lookout or we can switch you out. That's all I'm saying. So be on your heads and toes.

SPEAKER_04: 19:01

He's mentioning to somebody here, you know.

SPEAKER_03: 19:03

I'm just saying, I'm just speaking for you know, in generality. So yeah. Yeah, that's that's what that shows me. Yeah, you guys can be or gals can be switched out if you don't, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 19:13

So, yes, they do have it for guys and girls for people who are not. Um I only put the female here because that was the only picture that I had of. But I seen Raymond have it blowed up on his uh he's got it on his zooming in trying to see how plastically she feels really good about it right now. Just impressed with the uh technology. Impressed with the technology. Calm down, Raymond.

SPEAKER_02: 19:36

Calm down, Raymond.

SPEAKER_04: 19:37

But yes, uh, this humanoid robot is it looks really nice, really unique, really good. 175,000. Yeah. Um not too sure, but here's the catch. If you're smart enough, your hundred and seventy five thousand can turn into millions of dollars. Because you can use the same gadget to work for you. Instead of you going out there working.

SPEAKER_02: 20:03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 20:05

So at the end of the day, they're not gonna know if especially if you're working from home and they're typing and doing what they need to do, you just have to give them the routing and checking number, yeah, and you getting paid just to relax and just to make sure that you're double working, making sure that the robot humanoid is working up to your expectations. Yeah. So$175 is a high steep price. I mean, it looks like uh, you know, Ferrari or Porsche up in there, but if you utilize it correctly, I have the bottom. I as of right now, I use the regular one that doesn't look like a human uh to be around my house. I don't mind spending the 25 grand for it. I wish it would go on sale.

SPEAKER_02: 20:46

Yeah, like a regular robot, you know.

SPEAKER_04: 20:47

Like a regular robot, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:49

Yeah, that price is too steep.

SPEAKER_00: 20:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:51

I mean, they are also paying for um the uh like level of it. Like the one that Dave is talking about is like just a regular metal-looking robot that's running around, right?

SPEAKER_03: 21:01

That's what I was asking you about Windows RCS.

SPEAKER_02: 21:04

Oh yeah, they were definitely there. Yeah, I mean, there was a big announcement around one called Atlas. I don't know if y'all saw that. Um hopefully the video guy can throw like a quick video of it, um, a short clip. But this device or this robotic device uh will be taking jobs. And if you're manufacturing warehouse, um working in a very um high-risk area or like a very like like imagine like you gotta wear like a few layers, either cold or hot. These robots will have that capability 100%.

SPEAKER_04: 21:35

That's for my they had that for here, but I'm only gonna stick to three. Uh that one I will.

SPEAKER_02: 21:39

Oh, the Atlas one was on your list too?

SPEAKER_04: 21:41

On the list. I'm gonna bring that out next um next next current event. And of course, of taking people's jobs, I'll also have something else for that.

SPEAKER_02: 21:48

But yeah, for sure. Well, we'll definitely tune in and look forward to that because D Hustle got it lined up. Um anything else on your list, please?

SPEAKER_04: 21:56

That's all I got.

SPEAKER_02: 21:56

All right, my guy. So next up we got my guy Raymond. Don't call him Ray Ray, shooting 90 plus percent, allegedly. Um, and uh the data show. But it's the new year.

SPEAKER_04: 22:09

Let's see what he got. Let's not lie. Let's not jump the gun real quick and let's see what basically what he got. So hopefully he has something to start up to you, right? What up, Raymond?

SPEAKER_03: 22:20

New Year, New Year, New Year, like D. Hustle said, what is the number one thing that everybody does in the new year, right?

SPEAKER_02: 22:25

What is it? Like, I don't know, spend money. No, go to the gym. I want to get in shape.

SPEAKER_03: 22:30

Like, come on. You know, that's the number one thing everybody does on their New Year's resolution is I want to go to the gym, I want to get in shape, and they go for like the first week. Like it's annoying going to the gym. You see all of the uh New Year's resolution folks in there. But you know, I'm not hating whatever, but what I wanted to drop in here is uh we all have heard of Wikipedia, right? So I want to tell you about Muscle Wikis, just like Wikipedia. Muscle wiki. Muscle wikis, just like Wikipedia, it's pretty cool. Um, you go on there, um, it shows a diagram. You can pick if you're a male or female, and you could pick on any body part. For example, pick on your chest, and it will just outline and show you the workouts that you can do. You can even make a workout. You can uh click on different body parts, it will tell you um, you know, what things you can eat and whatnot. I just thought it was a cool app. They have it for Android, iOS, um, it's free. I mean, they do have some paid features where you can get some you know additional features, but I just thought it was cool. I think the free stuff that what you need for is more than enough. But Muscle Wiki, it's a website and they have an app as well. I thought it was pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02: 23:36

So that's what's up, man.

SPEAKER_03: 23:38

Yeah, if you're into uh getting healthy this year and looking good in shape, yeah, like Bobby D, check out Muscle Wiki. All right.

SPEAKER_00: 23:44

I mean, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_02: 23:45

You're shit.

SPEAKER_03: 23:46

We're all trying to you know get in shape. We're trying to get in shape like Bobby D.

SPEAKER_02: 23:50

I'm just holding it down. I'm just maintaining, bro.

SPEAKER_03: 23:52

He goes on multiple work walks a day, you know, he fast. You know, I'm just saying, I'm trying to, I'm trying to get on his level. He's like, yeah, he doesn't try to get on his level. I'm saying, I mean, I'm not fasting, but you know, I respect the uh you know, you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 24:09

Yeah, yeah, yeah. First of all, shout out that's it. It's a good website for all you people who are trying to lose weight. Uh I gotta again, I gotta start the year off, right? I said, right one more time again. Yes, because actually, he is correct. Uh 99.1% uh people New Year's resolution is to trying to go to the gym. And when you do go to the gym, it don't get me wrong, it is packed. Yeah, but wait until February, March, that shit is empty.

SPEAKER_02: 24:42

They made their money already.

SPEAKER_04: 24:43

That is the I will say that is the most money the gym membership makes. Oh, yeah. That's funny.

SPEAKER_03: 24:50

I didn't think about that. That's probably you're probably not far-fetched about that, D.

SPEAKER_02: 24:54

But but also think about how hard it is to cut off gym memberships, too. Yeah. So once you sign up for a gym membership, they like, yo, you gotta do it for 12 months. Like, what? Or you gotta call this number and nobody picks up the number to cancel. Uh, but I I will say, uh, we're starting off the year right. Uh good job, D. Good job, Raymond. Good job, D, for recognizing. Game recognizing game. Appreciate it.

SPEAKER_04: 25:16

It's it's only one man, ladies and gentlemen. Watch the next one. Watch the next one.

SPEAKER_03: 25:21

No, the next one you should like it. What up, player? All right. This, I mean, hopefully, you guys have not been under a rock and no one has been. I know we've talked about this a few weeks ago. Um, I'm excited for this. I know it's 11 months away. This is gonna be the biggest event of this year.

SPEAKER_04: 25:36

Oh, I know what it is.

SPEAKER_03: 25:37

Avengers doomsday. Have you guys been watching the trailers? Well, we are four trailers in now.

SPEAKER_04: 25:42

First of all, let me go ahead and give them a shout out. Wow, this is a new year. That is gonna be one of the hype movies around. I mean. Um, it is gonna be three hours plus. Three hours plus.

SPEAKER_03: 25:52

I've heard that, yes. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 25:55

Like three hours? I am a big doom day guy. Wow. Um, I don't like none of the Avengers. Uh really? But I am a big Doomsday guy. Actually, I'm a big Thanos guy, too. Okay. I love Thanos.

SPEAKER_03: 26:07

Okay. All right, all right.

SPEAKER_04: 26:09

Let me um he's like, that's all I need. All right.

SPEAKER_03: 26:12

Question for you, D Hustle. Have you seen all the trailers so far?

SPEAKER_04: 26:14

Um I only see two. Then I'll tell you the two I have. The one with the worst one, which was was Steve Rogers carrying. It was terrible. Uh the second one is is where um Fantastic Four meets uh The Wakandans. The Wakandans. I thought that was the best one so far. Yeah, and after that, that's the only two I've seen.

SPEAKER_03: 26:37

Okay, there's four trailers, like D Hustle said. There's the first one with Steve Rogers, um, second one was Thor. The third one, yes, you missed that, the Thor. I had to look it up. Yep, the newest one is the Wakandan meets Fantastic Four. And the third one is X-Men.

SPEAKER_02: 26:55

X-Men are pulling up?

SPEAKER_03: 26:57

X-Men is pulling up. This is gonna be the first time you're gonna have Avengers. Wow, X-Men, and the Fantastic Four all-in-one Marvel movie.

SPEAKER_02: 27:04

And don't forget Wakanda, bro.

SPEAKER_03: 27:06

Wakandons too. Like, what I have for De Hustle is he's a Danos guy, it sounds like. How terrified are these people of Doctor Doom that they gotta get all of these people together?

SPEAKER_04: 27:17

I mean, that's the reason I love it.

SPEAKER_03: 27:20

I mean, how menacing is this guy gonna be? It is actually I'm afraid to even watch this.

SPEAKER_04: 27:26

You should have been afraid of freaking Danos anyway, because at the end of the day, it took almost all you guys who still can't fucking knock out the water. And he still snapped his finger, too. Snap his finger, too.

SPEAKER_03: 27:36

Like, what kind of being is Doctor Doom? So I can't my body is ready for this. I can't wait.

SPEAKER_04: 27:41

I'm gonna let you know right now. It's just like speaking to me, and I'm like Doctor Doom rather than baby.

SPEAKER_03: 27:46

11 months away. So yeah. 11 months away. So, but yeah, to let you know, there's four trailers out, and there will be two more that we'll be releasing, and what Marvel's gonna do is they're gonna combine everything, and at the Super Bowl, they're gonna show you the whole trailer.

SPEAKER_04: 28:00

Ah, so this is for the people who have watched Fantastic Four like Raymond. Because I never watched the new one. You didn't watch it? You didn't watch it?

SPEAKER_02: 28:08

Yeah, I don't think you don't need to. I'm sorry. Oh, come on.

SPEAKER_04: 28:10

I am being straight up that if if if if the credit should still watch it. It's not exciting me, I'm not gonna watch it. Like perfect example. I didn't see Jurassic Park, it didn't excite me. So I won't see it. Yeah, unless I hear from you guys to go see it, then I'll go see it. But hopefully, what I'm trying to get at is that X-Men, when was the last time X-Men came out?

SPEAKER_03: 28:41

True. You're correct.

SPEAKER_04: 28:42

So how how is that people are trying to figure out how is that going to relate from X-Men to Avengers? Yeah. You know, these are things that I MC, you guys gotta call me, bro, because shout out to me. Because if you guys need somebody to fucking figure out how to do a storyline, DC, I'll make it mean.

SPEAKER_03: 29:00

I'll make it happen. Let's give them a chance, because you know, remember You always with the let's give them a chance, bro. X-Men was with a different company. Now Marvel owns it now. Let's give him a chance.

SPEAKER_04: 29:10

Who was X-Men with?

SPEAKER_03: 29:11

It was with Fox.

SPEAKER_02: 29:12

Oh, they own that. So they But it's still Marvel.

SPEAKER_03: 29:15

No, it wasn't. Marvel bought it. Now Marvel owns it. This is gonna be the first time they're doing it. This is uh that was a whole different company.

SPEAKER_02: 29:22

But but do you think this means they're gonna be more X-Men's that are come out now?

SPEAKER_03: 29:26

Yes, they're gonna do it right. They have like the 97 X-Men costume in that one of the trailers, it's getting everybody hyped.

SPEAKER_04: 29:32

They're doing it right. Uh not Daredevil, um, Deadpool. Is he Marvel?

SPEAKER_03: 29:38

Yeah, Deadpool's Marvel.

SPEAKER_04: 29:39

Okay, so you're telling me that when Deadpool did his movie and the X-Men's people were in there, you're telling me that X-Men is not part of Marvel?

SPEAKER_03: 29:48

No, I'm saying it is, but they were licensing it to Marvel, but now Marvel Disney owns it all. Just like Spider-Man, you don't see Spider-Man movies in Avengers because Marvel doesn't own it. Sony owns it. Spider-Man is featured in the company Sony owns it, but they license, they gotta pay Marvel money. That's why they're not in the movies. That's why you don't see Spider-Man in Avengers movies like that.

SPEAKER_02: 30:14

I mean, he is, but they have to front some money for it. Yes. Because it's not technically their brand. Correct. So if they are good, I mean Marvel could have had X-Men in it, but they didn't want to pay Fox.

SPEAKER_03: 30:24

Well, now they own Fox now, so now they're gonna have it. That's why they're able to have it in together now.

SPEAKER_02: 30:29

Interesting.

SPEAKER_04: 30:29

But at the end of the day, it's still Marvel. It's still Marvel, yes, you are correct. Yes, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 30:34

I'm just saying, let's give Marvel a chance to, you know, just don't.

SPEAKER_04: 30:38

Oh, the same way we give that 42-year-old guy a chance to. What 42-year-old guy? Oh, LeBron James. Wow. And that's how everything goes downhill. See that?

SPEAKER_02: 30:49

That's what it goes downhill.

SPEAKER_04: 30:50

So, but yeah, yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: 30:56

Watch the trailers. Um, D Hustle's excited, I'm excited, Doomsday. Um that's gonna be interesting. So yeah, yeah, they're gonna, it's gonna crack.

SPEAKER_02: 31:05

One more question about the Doomsday. Isn't it Tony Starks is the character for so he's kind of coming back to somebody else?

SPEAKER_03: 31:10

I don't know how they're gonna do that.

SPEAKER_02: 31:12

I don't know how they're gonna do that.

SPEAKER_04: 31:13

So, uh, in case anybody have not seen Marvel, uh Tony Starks, aka Iron Man is dead. Yes. He does not come back again. He is dead, he's done. They had a funeral for him. If you guys did not watch, Raymond's the type of dude that if the movie is two hours, he watches an hour and a half of it and forgets about the rest. Okay. How did it end? How did it end? We don't know. But he said he sees the ending, but he hasn't seen the ending. Uh he dies. Uh, fortunately, nobody cannot replace Tony Starks on Iron Man because that is the man. Same way nobody can replace Steve Rogers. Yeah, yeah. He is the man of he's cap he is Captain the Man of the Man. Yeah. Uh but again, uh initially, from what I was reading, uh Tony Starks was supposed to be playing Dooms Man, but since I guess it was gonna be a long time for him to it, he decided to take the role for Iron Man. Oh interesting.

SPEAKER_02: 32:07

So he was originally gonna play that part. Okay, because it wouldn't have come out until now, right? Imagine all the the the parts that's missed.

SPEAKER_04: 32:14

Yeah, you know how long Iron Man's been from the first Iron Man.

SPEAKER_03: 32:18

That really like changed his career. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 32:19

I mean, I think it changed Marvel's career uh trajectory with that movie. Um but this is gonna be interesting. I mean, we'll definitely be following along. Uh Raymond will keep tabs on it. Definitely.

SPEAKER_03: 32:31

I'll keep you guys informed and updated. Yeah. Watch the trailers. They're teasers though. They're just little teasers, but it gets you hyped.

SPEAKER_02: 32:38

Yeah. So you said they're gonna have something special for the Super Bowl coming up?

SPEAKER_03: 32:41

They're gonna come out with six. They're on four right now, so it's almost every week they're coming out with a new trailer. It's a teaser. Yeah. And they're gonna combine all of them together. At the Super Bowl, you're gonna have the whole full thing.

SPEAKER_04: 32:51

So Raymond's trying to tell everybody out there who's not good with teasers, wait until the Super Bowl so you can watch it.

SPEAKER_02: 32:59

Hopefully, I don't see the whole movie through the trailer, too.

SPEAKER_04: 33:02

No, you're not. I thought Doomsday was gonna be the way I interpret it was Steve Rogers has a baby. His baby is born, he's have a fucked up relationship with his parents, with Steve Rogers, and he becomes Doomsday. That's how I took it.

SPEAKER_02: 33:17

Okay, okay, okay. That's how I took it.

SPEAKER_04: 33:20

Okay, that's not far-fetched. That's a good thing. This guy needs to be a writer, bro. You need to be in the room, man. But again, I I'm just the regular guy who's behind the mic. I don't give a shit about anything about that. Because he's holding the baby, my son, man, Mijo. And next thing you know, uh Doomsday is coming out, the son becomes the worst guy in the world this year. Yeah. Which I'm all about it. But hey, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_03: 33:43

D castle's excited. Yeah, he is.

SPEAKER_04: 33:44

I'm excited for Doomsday. Uh for the real Doomsday. Don't let D down. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02: 33:49

Do not let him down. Oh, y'all gonna hear it. We gotta make an event about that. Like, we all go the technical. Somewhere I will be criticizing it. Oh my gosh. Anything else on your list, Raymond?

SPEAKER_03: 33:59

I got one more, so you know. Should I tell you the show or should I tell you about it? I know D Hustle doesn't like when I like, you know, where you guys drag it up. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. All right, I'm gonna just tell you the show. New year, new things. New year, new things. Let me uh tell you about this. My uh friend has been t begging me to watch the show. I was like, oh, come on, man. I've heard about it. I'm like, eh, alright. Doesn't look like it's my bag. First of all, are you guys into Star Wars? Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm down with Star Wars.

SPEAKER_04: 34:29

I like Star Wars.

SPEAKER_03: 34:30

You like Star Wars? Okay, alright. So Mandalorian? No. Oh have any of you guys seen Andor?

SPEAKER_02: 34:37

Oh, I've seen this one pop up. I haven't seen it yet. Have you heard about Andor? Yes, I have definitely heard about him. I think my son's watched it.

SPEAKER_04: 34:44

Yeah, this is um, yeah, I've heard of it.

SPEAKER_03: 34:46

Okay, I've heard about it as well, just like you guys. Yeah. I've been watching the show the last couple weeks now. How many episodes is it? It's two seasons only.

SPEAKER_02: 34:54

Wow.

SPEAKER_03: 34:54

Yeah, this show is amazing. Amazing. I'm not, this is like some big boy grown adult. This is not like grow cool kiddie stuff. This is like an adult grown-up show. Like, I'm not over-exaggerating. Like, this show is amazing.

SPEAKER_02: 35:11

Oh, it's rated TV 14, so it's close to rated R.

SPEAKER_03: 35:15

It's a drama. It's not like, you know, little kiddie stuff and all that. Like, if you want a good drama, straight up acting. I think the uh the American Movie Association voted this like the best show of 2025.

SPEAKER_02: 35:27

Wow.

SPEAKER_03: 35:27

I'm cranking through it. I'm not saying it's the best show I've ever watched, but if you want a good drama, yeah, good serious show, like political, what's going on here right now, and you're a Star Wars fan, watch Andor. It is very, very good. Wow. Yeah, I'm not over-exaggerating. So, yeah, like I said, multiple um wards. Um has an 8.6 star. It's good, Darwin. If you like Star Wars, and I'm telling you, it's not no kiddie stuff. It's it's good. That's what's so. But yes, Andor, highly recommend it. I'm cranking through it. So yeah, I'm pretty much done. I've got like one more episode. I'm just dragging it because it's so good. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 36:05

And they're not coming up with any more seasons?

SPEAKER_03: 36:07

No, Disney made two seasons of it. It has like a cult following, like they ended it, and it's now everyone's discovering the show and discovering how good it is. Interesting. It is amazing, guys. I'm not over-exaggerating. I'm telling you, watch this show. It's good. Yeah. So, any thoughts or questions?

SPEAKER_02: 36:23

I mean, I'm I'm always down, especially for Star Wars type movies.

SPEAKER_03: 36:26

It's not like kitty Star Wars Groku stuff.

SPEAKER_02: 36:28

I probably wouldn't say that either, bro. Because the kiddie part probably gonna have people leave some comments.

SPEAKER_03: 36:33

I'm just saying, this is an adult grown-up show, a big boy, big that's what I'm saying. Like this is it's good. That's what's up. That's what's up. Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 36:43

How about you? You gonna add it to your list, D?

SPEAKER_04: 36:45

Uh yeah, I might see something. Yeah, it's definitely on my list.

SPEAKER_03: 36:48

Yeah, like I said, my friend's been telling me, like, check it out. I'm gonna watch that. I've heard rumblings about it, and I finally sat down. I'm like, this show's amazing.

SPEAKER_04: 36:57

What they need to do is start putting on Mandalorian back on the show. Mandalorian. I'm a Mandalorian fan too. You watch all the seasons? Yeah, I watch all the seasons. My man Pedro does his thing out there.

SPEAKER_03: 37:06

He does. I'm actually behind the season, but um you know they're coming out with a movie this year, right?

SPEAKER_04: 37:11

I said, he doesn't watch the whole thing. He's just half. This guy never surprises me. That's funny.

SPEAKER_03: 37:18

Yeah, speaking of Mandalorian, um, this trailer will be out on the Super Bowl. It does look good. Oh, the new one. They're coming out with a movie.

SPEAKER_02: 37:25

Oh, they're coming out with a movie. Yes. That's gonna continue the story or is it gonna start all over?

SPEAKER_03: 37:30

I'm not sure, but it looks very good, and the trailer is gonna come out on the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_04: 37:34

Ah, everything's on the Super Bowl, huh?

SPEAKER_03: 37:36

Yeah, so yeah. So Mandalorian is very good.

SPEAKER_02: 38:15

I'm I'm totally already sold because uh Colin Farrell's gonna play penguin. Yeah, I'm ready to go. It was one of the best shows that you missed last year, but we're not gonna bring that back up. Well, what do you mean I missed?

SPEAKER_03: 38:26

What that didn't bring up? Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. I mean, there's so many good shows that came out. Oh, yeah, Severance, huh? Severance is being one of them. I mean, Severance was on my list of. I was trying to avoid the word Severance for 2026, and we can't even do one episode without watching it. So new season of Severance will be out next year. Oh my gosh. I can't wait.

SPEAKER_04: 38:46

Talk about shows that you guys watched Stranger Things.

SPEAKER_02: 38:49

SPEAKER_02: 38:52

Yeah. Yeah. There's still still one more episode, or it's done. No, it's done. Okay, okay, it's done.

Actually, there is uh on Netflix. If you finish watching it, there is another show a movie. It's two hours long. It's how Stranger they were doing Stranger Things for season five, how everything went down. Oh, like behind the scenes. I won't watch that.

SPEAKER_03: 39:15

I'm not interested in that, no.

SPEAKER_04: 39:17

I mean when all the details. I I want to get everybody's feedback on how the ending was. I I'm not a big fan of it, of how it ended, but it is what it is. I'll wait until you watch it so we can all talk about it.

SPEAKER_02: 39:29

No, no, y'all can talk about it.

SPEAKER_04: 39:31

Um it's okay. I'll I'll wait. We'll wait, Bobby. Come on, why is it taking so long enough? He hasn't watched it yet. So I watched it. Well, do you know there's still more episodes that you have to finish? Did you watch the end end?

SPEAKER_03: 39:42

Yeah, I watched the whole the two hour ending.

SPEAKER_02: 39:44

SPEAKER_03: 39:45

My kids would not let me go a day without finishing that. Uh oh, yeah, we knocked that out.

SPEAKER_02: 39:49

Okay. Yeah. So I I definitely the ending was anticlimatic.

SPEAKER_03: 39:53

I'll just leave it at that.

SPEAKER_02: 39:54

Dang. Like uh um cliffhanger. What was the one that we were watching? Game. Of Thrones is it ending like that? Is it bad as that? Game of Thrones ending.

SPEAKER_03: 40:03

I never watched Game of Thrones like that.

SPEAKER_02: 40:05

So you remember D?

SPEAKER_04: 40:07

Um almost like it. Wow. Why are they closing ending the stories like that? I don't know. I mean it it leaves you it leaves you thinking. Yeah.

But today's topic uh in terms of recap is uh I want to talk to y'all about CES. Um I know D was already uh mentioned a few uh really cool things, robotics being one of the top subjects. Um, but let me tell y'all, like CES, I mean, I I've haven't been to a conference like this before. Um, and it's not just a conference where uh you go like career conferences, which we mostly attend, like a we're trying to help people get jobs or help them interview, but let people know where it was at. Well, I apologize. CES 2026 was in Las Vegas this year.

SPEAKER_04: 42:00

Shout out to Las Vegas and Bobby going out there with his nose bleeding.

SPEAKER_02: 42:04

Yeah, gotta add that to D's you've been to Vegas. Yeah, yeah. Um, this is second or third time that I've been to Vegas. Um, and definitely more walking than I've ever done before, at least five to ten miles walking. Um, but in terms of the conference itself, uh the conference was held at the convention center. You ever been there? Uh well Raymond hasn't been. Um, but they also had uh sessions and exhibitors off the campus too at like the Wynn and Encore and also at the Venetian, um, which tells you how big this conference is because they had so much going on. Right. I mean, uh the biggest thing that I saw out there that they had were the glasses, like uh both. Everybody's got glasses, yeah. Yeah. And and it wasn't just like uh Meta's only AI communicating through speakers. Everybody's trying to get to the point where you can see something digitally through the glasses and keep it a regular glasses form. Um, another thing that was really, really popping was uh rings. Did either of y'all have any um electronic rings? No, like uh something to catch or um like your sleep pattern and stuff like that? Oh, the aura ring. Yeah, like an aura ring. Yeah, yeah. We have one of those. Yeah, so you got one?

SPEAKER_04: 43:22

No, the wife has.

SPEAKER_02: 43:24

Everybody had those as uh products that they were trying to develop, showcase and stuff like that. Um the the thing that I would say about uh those rings are obviously like sleep patterns, uh uh breathing, um, making sure that you you know following schedule. Some of them even had notification vibrations in them and stuff like that. So they're definitely uh doubling down on those two. The third one that was actually kind of really crazy that I didn't even know that there was this whole business around it was speakers, like little mobile JBLs or like everybody was redesigning or coming up with a new type of speaker. Interesting question for you.

SPEAKER_04: 44:01

So were you this is more like a show and tell, or are you able to buy products over there?

SPEAKER_02: 44:06

Great question. Most of it is show and tell. Okay, like people are bringing their best prototype. Like when we're talking about the robot, right? They're going in their lab and like, hey, this is the one that we're gonna bring the CES to showcase everybody. Most people were like, hey, uh, we're gonna be mass producing later this year. Sign up on this list so we can let you know when the$120,000 robot's available. Um, but there were certain sections that only had electronics that they were actually selling, like they actually brought in uh a lot of the electronics to sell. Um, those were like uh the rings, the glasses, the speakers, and stuff like that. Um but I was actually really surprised of how many there were out there, meaning that there are so many people creating them, right? There were JBL speakers that had special lighting that vibrated for the music, right? This guy didn't call me, bro. I posted some pictures.

SPEAKER_04: 44:58

You posted the damn pictures of all the I would have asked how much was it the same way you posted the picture of the robot? Yeah, yeah. I was like, how much is that one? I want that's the one I want.

SPEAKER_02: 45:10

Every time I posted D Hushing, how much is it? How much is it? Um there was also some really cool stuff around um uh with the speakers. Like, for some reason, everybody wanted to show speakers that can play underwater. Like, literally, they have tanks of water, they put the speaker in, doo, do, do, do, do, they take it out. And I'm like, man, this is like the market for this, or this is where you know people are spending a lot on. Um, but also a lot of them we got contacts for, so we're gonna be doing some sponsorships on the show for sure. So uh keep a lookout for any products that we talk. We'll put a seal under CES 2026, and we'll definitely you know be able to connect people in. Um, but the star of the show, the two stars of the show, um, one was vehicles, like just like you showcased the Honda. Um, I didn't see Honda out there, I didn't see Tesla out there. Um, I definitely seen Amazon. You remember the one you reported, the the autonomous vehicle? Uh they had that on the soap floor, and they actually had that in Vegas. Zoops, yeah. It was actually riding around Vegas all over the place. Uh Waymo was out there too. Yeah, it was surprising. Um and drive in it? I didn't get a drive in it because, well, let me give you some more insights. So they had this line that you had to wait for to get a credit for it, right? Um, and then after you get a credit, then you can use it outside. Imagine the line that they had, right? Um, but I did see how you're riding in a vehicle without a steering wheel, without a driver's position, and the way that they have it sit out, just like you had in the podcast or in the thing, is like you have one person sitting this way, one person sitting that way, right? And this mobile thing is just driving around. Um the other thing about vehicles, dashboards, like imagine the whole dashboard being digital from one end all the way to the other end. That's crazy. Everybody was showcasing that um dashboard technology. Um, and most of them were like, hey, they use Apple Play and Android, I'm an Apple car. Is it called Apple Car? Apple Play. Apple Play in the car, and then whatever Androids, uh Androids play. Um, but I tell you, just imagine being in a car with a steering wheel and your dashboard is like digital all the way across. Um so vehicles were the star, and vehicles that fly was the other one, right? So remember we reported about mobile, you know, taxis. They are definitely flying them in different cities and testing them out, so keep an eye out for that. And then the second big star is robotics. Like um, I would say that we need to get ready for robots. I'm ready. Yeah, yeah, like we need to get ready for robots serving food, uh, robots um directing traffic, robots um as toys for kids, um, either like mobile dog robots for companionship for older people.

SPEAKER_03: 47:57

Like, I mean They've had those for years, but they never took off though, those dog things.

SPEAKER_02: 48:02

They are definitely kicked the shit out of them. You just imagine you can't train it the same way you train your regular dog, right?

SPEAKER_04: 48:12

Let me ask you a question. Why would you spend money on a robot dog? Yeah, I mean, okay, let's let's look at this. You can't tell the dog crazy shit to like take a shit, take a piss. So we know that's not that's not gonna happen. What can the dog do besides bark and what and run and walk?

SPEAKER_03: 48:32

That's what I'm saying. It never took a lot of things.

SPEAKER_04: 48:33

If you're gonna spend 15, 20 grand on some shit like that, why?

SPEAKER_02: 48:36

Yeah, why it and then you are right. That's all that they are doing, right? Um, and they labeled them as companion pets, right? Those are the people I need to speak to because we got I got questions for me talk to you, like D also said. Like let's figure out what the real problem is.

SPEAKER_04: 48:52

Companionship. Buy yourself a real fucking dog. You want some companion? Buy a teddy bear. Yeah, you can adopt one, adopt one. Oh, get this 175,000 human nord, and you can do your thing. You can go town if you want to do it.

SPEAKER_03: 49:05

It's realistic. I don't see the use case for no robot animals. Robot animals, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 49:10

Robots, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, and and the other one that uh around robots is um an AI robotic workmate, but not like how you were describing where they're sitting um doing it for you, but your phone is actually kind of running the AI, and you talk to your phone, which actually takes actions on your computer, which I thought was really cool. I actually think OpenAI might be doing something like this in terms of some of the ideas that they have coming out. Um, but then top of the top is Atlas that we're gonna hear you report about next week. Um they had some really cool stuff, man. Like uh and and the and the thing is and this is nothing against CES, but it was really um um overseas uh influenced. And what I mean by that is there was a lot of uh Asian companies that you know are bringing technology that they're already using, let's say in China, and now trying to manufacture and sell them, not manufacture, but start to sell them here in the States. And one of the things that I noticed, especially on some ad videos, like they're showing how AI is already in China uh a part of their lives, right? Um one of the the the the devices I think it was called um uh boost boost rx uh was like this little miniature um AI that kids can play with. Like hide and seek, run around, play tag, it danced, it did flips, it did I was like wow. So it's like buying a human. 100% like buying a little human to go play as a robot. Interesting. Um and if this is version one that I saw, I can't wait to see what the next few versions are gonna be because it's only gonna get better from where they are right now. Um and we we just gotta get ready for it. Okay, my question I'm ready for it. I just don't like the price. The price, right? Uh so tell me what what would be uh a reasonable price for you, let's say, to have that home robot.

SPEAKER_04: 51:11

Um so I've been thinking well, I sit in the garage and I I start to think and I start contemplating life and shit. And when I go in there, I think about a price as far as that. Because I I really was looking at a robot a while ago. Um I don't like the one that that rolls, yeah. I like the one that walks.

SPEAKER_02: 51:34

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 51:35

Um, if anything, uh a reasonable price for me would be 20 grand. Yeah. Yeah. 20 grand. But these robots are like 25 plus. I mean, the one that Elon was doing, they're looking at 25.

SPEAKER_02: 51:49

He wasn't even out there. Uh they weren't even out there. Teslas were not out there.

SPEAKER_04: 51:52

I was disappointed.

unknown: 51:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 51:54

So a nice price like that, 20 grand. Because at the end of the day, I know it's gonna get messed up. I'm trying to figure out how much it's gonna be in labor. Yeah, and if you're into tech, if you're one of those techy slash uh technicians, things that you like to you know take apart and put back together, yeah, it is useful for you because at the end of the day, you can do the labor yourself. Yeah, yeah, for sure. You see, but if you've if you're just like a person like me that does mechanics as as far as card-wise and trying to learn other ways of you know taking a role apart, I gotta see it how it is, and then before I take it apart and put it back together, which which I can do. But if it goes more and complex with that, yeah, I wouldn't know what to do with it. And then at the end of the day, I'll fuck it up, money's down the drain.

SPEAKER_02: 52:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But I I think what what you're saying, the price range is where uh the market's gonna be at um for humanoid type uh uh uh robots. Now, the the ones that are gonna be more expensive are gonna be the one like you reported, where it's like, hey, we want it to really look like a human and we have this extra stuff, or the really high pricey ones are gonna be when they sold it to business. Like Amazon, Amazon's gonna buy a lot. Amazon for sure is already testing out uh utilizing you know uh robotic uh sorters and stuff like that. Um so it it it is not far-fetched that they're gonna be out there, but I think for home use it's gonna be that 20. I say 25 and less. Um and then the the like humanoid ones or the little dog ones would be no more than 10 grand.

SPEAKER_04: 53:30

So do you think that let's say it's let's say it's 25. Let's just throw a number out there. Let's say it's 25. Do you think it'll go on sale? Or they're gonna keep it the same price. Even if they bring out the new ones.

SPEAKER_02: 53:45

I think I think the way that it looks like of how many companies creating robotics, they're gonna have to make things go on sale because there's just gonna be so much competition. It's not gonna be only Tesla making them, right? Or only uh Boston uh robotics them making it. It's actually China companies that they have all the same, you know, templates and stuff like that, and they're just gonna flood the market 100%. Uh so I I personally would wait before I get one. Um obviously go to D's house and see how it is, right? Um, but I think they're they're not gonna be able to hold value. Uh I think they're gonna be like cars. Like it's gonna be like, hey, when you have one of the original ones, obviously the price go up, but when you get the Toyota and Nissan or the the the that they're they're they're they're gonna depreciate as they're being used. So can we buy it used? You could definitely buy it used. I definitely would buy one used. Um because they have free certification. But I I do want us, and let me tell you what movie I thought of. How do y'all feel about um iRobot? You remember that movie iRobot with Will Smith? Great movie. It's a great movie. Yeah, it's just like that. We're heading that way. It's just like that. When when there was a scene when he was just walking through the city and then there's just robots everywhere, walking, carrying groceries, doing whatever day-to-day type thing. We are heading there five to ten years, maybe even less. Five to ten years.

SPEAKER_04: 55:07

Yeah, I remember I wanted one when I seen one live in Boston. Uh I went to uh to dinner, not to dinner, to uh lunch with the wife. We do a yearly trip. Uh went to sit down at a at a Chinese restaurant, eat some sushi, and we were just talking and talking, and I didn't expect a robot to come to serve me my food. Wow, really? And I was like, I had to do the double take. I said, Whoa, what was this? And it was going serving uh that like I was just in shock at putting the food on the thing, uh, and there was two of them. One walked, and the other one was like a a little I don't know what it was, but it was it was it's not the one that walks, it's just has the box or something like that? It's carry it. It's like a box, a carry it, but it has a line on the floor so it can know what the pattern that it goes. So that one came, uh it stopped, and then it said on the screen, please take your food. And we just took our food for that one, and the other one walked and said, Will you like um some more water? And I was like, Wow. I was like, what? And I thought I said, Yo, I need one of those. Yeah, yeah. And I'm here trying to record it, and I'm like, I'm trying to see. I see what you guys are doing. Uh you guys not putting the brand on the fucking shit. Because if I knew the brand, you would go get it some. I'd be figuring out what's the next model. That's funny. That's funny. But go ahead, go ahead. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02: 56:34

No, no, no. I mean, that same type of interaction was on display there. I mean, that was one of the areas that I feel like potential job loss when you report, you even uh go deeper into this is serving food, right? Is like nowadays you don't you don't even speak to somebody at the countertop. You go to the screen, you type in what you want, you go sit down, and eventually we're gonna have robots delivering the food, man.

unknown: 56:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 56:56

Well, that's what I've been telling Raymond a long time ago, because Raymond thought RAI has not been Ray's been around for a long time. You just don't know it. Yeah. Automatic on the phone. Pretty press one if you wanted. Please press two. Yeah. All that is OAI clear. It's just nobody knows. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yes, you will be losing your job, Raymond.

SPEAKER_02: 57:18

Whenever we start talking about job loss, right, Raymond, Raymond's uh gets gets a little filling. Um, but um overall, I highly recommend, and this is also for our watchers and viewers, is if you are looking for an experience to see what the future looks like, CES is one of those conferences. It happens once a year. It's in Las Vegas most of the time. Um I'm already putting the the team together for us to go for 2027. Um and all I want you to do is go and watch and observe and see what can be created because uh one other thing that I'm actually gonna be writing something in the newsletter about is how much representation we didn't have out there. Um there really wasn't that many black inventors or uh robotic companies or founders of you know projects that um look like me and you in terms of you know being you know black black in this field. Um and I want to just encourage us to think bigger, think broader, uh try, you know, um whatever idea comes to mind, D, like let's go and create some prototypes or something because these people are out there. Bring a prototype to the show and get things purchased without actually having a real unit, which is crazy, right? Um, but big shout outs to CS. Let's give them a big round of applause. Um big shout outs to Cheville Agency, um, PR agency had a chance to run into Latoy out there, Adrian, um Alicia Little, uh AI. Alicia Little AI. I ran into her. She remembered you? Yeah, she definitely remembered you.

SPEAKER_04: 58:45

I want to make sure because I send them a message.

SPEAKER_02: 58:48

She was out there, and then obviously run into a few other people, but uh big shout outs to everybody that I had a chance to rub shoulders with out there. Uh and I mean I'm feeling inspired. I'm feeling inspired. And keep an eye out for any episodes that we have because we're gonna be sponsoring and talking about all of the vendors that we ran into that's you know, give us a sponsor sponsorship slot, um, and definitely want to encourage y'all to check it out. So, all right, fellas, uh, that's it for the tech recap uh for today. Um, and next up, we got some sports coming up. What's up, D. My god, my god. What up, D hustle? What's going on in the world of sports, brother?

SPEAKER_04: 59:36

We don't know what's going on. Anyway, uh Carolina Hurricanes top place, Colorado Avalanche, number one, and Las Vegas Golden Knight. I feel like this team is gonna surprise everybody. The Golden Knight, uh, Las Vegas Golden Knights uh are I feel like they should win a chip. Uh they're always first in their conference, always doing their thing, but they can never win.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:47

Elizabeth's giving a big shout-out.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:49

So shout out to those people over there. College football, shout out to Miami Hurricanes. Miami Hurricanes are against Indiana. Indiana over here, they're trying to figure out what's going on. Uh if they can handle the Miami hurricanes, but with a record of 15-0, I see them might win the chip. Oh, Indiana. Miami don't figure out what's going on. Indiana says, you know what? We're gonna go ahead and take care of this. So hopefully, Miami. I'm gonna root for Miami. So I appreciate you. Oh, you youth fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got here.

But I do know uh McLaren's taking care of fucking business. Uh if you own a McLaren of 720 LTZ, holler at me. Yeah. I need to figure out what's this hype about because if if if you guys roll in like that, I need to figure it out. Ferrari might be taking the bandwagon on somewhere, but listen, it is Mercedes number two handling business. Red Bull. Hey, listen, uh if you don't drink it, you ain't flying. At the end of the day. All right, so we figured out what's going on. Sports, aka baseball. Baseball is going on. It's off season, right? Off season right now. A lot of moves, a lot of trade.

I really love you. Appreciate you. Thank you so much for that. That's how you send it all that love. Minnesota Timberwolves are doing their thing. Shout out to Minnesota, my man over there at Words handling business. And number Bum, the Bum Lakers are number five. They're trying to figure out what's going on. I see my man Rich Paul trying to figure out, you know, trying to trade people without even fucking figuring out what's going on over there in the organization. So Rich Paul over there trying to has his own podcast. Who would have known he was going to have his own podcast? And LeBron is not respecting nobody over there, not doing no defense, not doing anything at all. What's going on?

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:26

Nobody plays defense on the Lakers.

SPEAKER_04: 1:07:28

Wow.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:28

Come on, Luca doesn't. LeBron, but no, it's terrible though. LeBron and Luca need to play defense. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04: 1:07:42

Back to original program, ladies and gentlemen. As we can say, there's not a lot of comments to say about what's going on over here. One minute he can, you know. Oh man. The guy's not in his team. He's not in the huddle. He's not on his on the side. Luca trying to do his thing, but not playing no defense over there. My man Austin Rees balling for a white boy. Luke showed him some love. Surely got some love over there trying to figure out. Has anybody heard about Brownie? Is he still around? Is he did he retire already? What's going on with the guy? Anyway, I digress. Back to over here. Phoenix Suns, number seven, creeping up. I'm not too sure what's going on over there in the organization. But we say, but listen, uh Zion Williams over there in last place. Stop hanging, stop trying to hang and try to shoot your shot with all fucking offline, only fans, only. Wow. This is why you're not performing as you need to perform. Focus on the game. Get out of these aka hoes that you want to call them. Focus on the truth. Focus on the game, bro. If you want that, come to the next. We could shoot you right away.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:45

You won't have no problems at all.

SPEAKER_04: 1:08:47

No problems at all. But other than that, that's all I have for NBA, ladies and gentlemen. And last but not least, NFL.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:54

NFL, NFL.

SPEAKER_04: 1:08:55

NFL. We're down to the last beautiful uh eight teams. Eight teams? All right. AFC. We got the Bills and Broncos getting ready. You got predictions on that?

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:09

Um, I hate both of them. I I don't know who the route for it is.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:14

Did we see him to go first? You should have gone further for that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:18

I'm gonna pick the Bills.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:19

You're gonna pick the Bills? Wow.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:21

Josh Allen has no excuse this year. Uh-huh. You don't have Patrick Mahomes. You don't have the uh Ravens quarterback in there. You gotta you gotta get to the chip this year. Yeah. So over the Broncos? Yeah, I'm picking I'm picking Josh Allen.

unknown: 1:09:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:36

I mean, he's just picking the quarterback by yourself. I mean, I think the Bills too. Uh I'll stick with home team.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:42

I'm gonna go with an upset today. I'm gonna go with Denver. Denver?

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:45

Denver is favored. They're going over there, so I'm just saying, Josh Allen, this is your year. You get no obstacles.

SPEAKER_04: 1:09:51

If it snows, are we gonna go with the Bills? Oh, but if it doesn't snow, I am gonna go with the Broncos. Broncos are doing phenomenal over there. Uh they had like an 11-12 game winning streak over there going. Exactly. Uh my man Bo Knicks is just like another Bo, not a Bo Jackson, but you know, he's handling the business. Patriots in Texas. Anybody here?

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:10

I'll go Texas because I am rocking with the Patriots. Texas? Yeah. Wow. Texas Rangers, let's go. What do you say there?

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:16

Uh yeah, I hate both. I'm gonna go with the Texans. Yeah, it's they shouldn't have won that last game because their quarterback played horrible, but I'm gonna go with the Texans.

SPEAKER_04: 1:10:26

Texas. Well, you know what? I'm gonna go uh, you know, with the Patriots. Uh my man Drake May handling business over there. Uh doing his thing. He's doing his thing. You're you're just forgetting who the quarterback is. Uh maybe you haven't realized that because you're a Heath, a Miami fan, Dolphins fan. You don't know what a quarterback looks like. So a real quarterback over here. And it's funny how both Bills and Texas are in the same fucking division as there. Uh one day you'll get there. You'll figure it out. You're hanging out with my Giants. Get the fuck away. All right. Let's go to the NFC. Seahawks and 49ers. I'll go with the Niners. I'll support Niners. Okay.

Uh Rams doing their thing, and I think Matt Stafford is gonna be handling the business. So I'm gonna go with Rams on that one. Yeah, and I'm gonna say Seahawks and Rams. And unfortunately, Seahawks are doing phenomenal. Uh, but I'm gonna go and see Rams at the end. And uh as far as Bills, it's gonna be Bills versus Patriots. I'm gonna let you know that right now. And as far as that, that's gonna be a showdown. I'm gonna let you know that right now. The Bills and Patriots. The Bills and Patriots are gonna see it. But if the Bol Knicks come in, it's gonna be the Patriots and uh how you call it the Broncos. The Broncos. Uh Super Bowl. Super Bowl, anybody, who you think is for Super Bowl?
