Master & Dynamic New Products, Apple+ Bundling, & Other Tech News Nov 14, 2019

Hi folks, Chris Voss here from thechrisvossshow.com, thechrisvossshow.com. Hey, coming to you with another great podcast. We certainly appreciate you guys tuning in. For those of you listening out there, if you're one of our vendors, people always send us product reviews to review, we are putting together a list of the best products that we recommend for holiday gift giving. And there's already, of course, been people we definitely have in mind. I think they make the list almost every year.

But we have a big list hopefully coming out before the holidays to tell everyone what we think in our experience and our daily use. Because we, you know, the funny thing about the Chris Foss Show is people come to me and they go they go hey chris we know you you know reviewed like 5 000 headphones this year what uh what's the one you keep what's the one you use every day and stuff um and uh if you listen to a recent podcast we just had i just had uh one of the developers on of a game called GT fo which is a really cool game we had the developer on to talk about the

development of game so if you haven't got a chance to check it out but he messaged me after the show he said he said hey man those headphones you got on are amazing and just so you, I have the same ones. I have the kind of, what do you call these, light brown burgundy ones? He goes, I have the burgundy ones. They are just amazing. And I get a lot of compliments when people see us on the podcast wearing the Master and Dynamic headphones.

Mostly, you'll usually see me wearing the MH40s. From time to time, i'll switch it up and i'll use the wonderful anc active noise cancelling mw65s and we just got a new shipment in of uh the updated 5.0 bluetooth uh versions of the um i believe they're the mw07s i don't have them readily available here but the mw07s Plus, which is pretty cool. They've just jacked it up to a whole new level with those babies. And they're just nice. But we got something that I'm really excited about.

Really excited about. Jeez, Chris, what is this, a Master and Dynamic commercial at the beginning? Yeah, kind of. Anyway, they sent us my favorite headphones that I've ever owned mh40s wireless they put wireless in it oh my gosh and i believe it's 5.0 uh bluetooth but i love my mh40s and it's kind of funny because mass dynamic their ceo is amazing the quality of care and love they put in this product i've often said that steve jobs uh if steve jobs built headphones he would build master dynamic headphones um just the meticulous um care to the build and quality and the sound

of these products is immaculate um and they've been loved by, uh, some of the greatest musicians around the world. So, uh, my image forties are my favorites. I don't, I don't know. I'd love the sound spectrum that is on them that they built into them. Uh, they've used a little bit of variation, some of the other ones, and I, I've just loved the sound. I love the feel. They're very large. They go over my ears. You know, I can wear them for 8, 10, 12 hours gaming. Never get tired of them. In fact, they just hold up so well, and the sound on them is so good. And they look good, too.

They look good. Everywhere I go, people are like, what are those? Those are awesome. Can we try them on? I'm like, yeah, sure. Try them on. I'm like a walking ad for Master & Dynamic. If you can, go to masteranddynamic.com, check them out.

But they sent me my new favorite headphones, wireless. And I got to tell you, I really, really, really like the sound spectrum they programmed into it. It's kind of funny. So what I started to say before I segued their master and dynamic keeps sending me variations of since the mh40s that they gave me five years ago and i still show people these headphones they're like those are five years old i'm like yeah yeah that's how good the quality is um and uh uh and i've abused them they've been through they've got some mileage in them so anyway uh they just sent me these and uh what was my point i just segued off about how much i love this

product i just can't shut up about it that's what happens when you love something so much um but the master dynamic mh40s uh have been so good uh so good in the sound spectrum and just the quality of them. Some of the other products that Master Dynamics have sent me, I've been just kind of like, hmm, I still like my Amage 40s because some of the products they've made are a little bit smaller. Sometimes on the ear cuff, they're kind of designed for noise canceling and different things like that.

They're kind of designed for more like wireless. I mean, obviously with wireless, you've got to deal with the footprint of how much you have to deal with putting the wireless stuff into the earpiece and all that sort of good stuff and you know real estate matters um and uh i gotta tell you they have sent me these mh40s and i'm just i love these wireless ones and the sound spectrum is exceptional, and I've just been so happy with them, and they sent me a pair of light brown ones, or brown ones, I'm not sure the official color of these, what you call them, I call mine blue, and I know there's like a light blue or some sort of color, but I love them, it's got the detachable earpieces the sound spectrum is just amazing and i'm just so

giddy happy to have mh40 wireless yeah i mean i've got the other wireless don't get me wrong the other wireless is from from um master dynamic and they are exceptional the anc is exceptional mw65 i i love taking on planes and when I travel and stuff. And you've seen me use it in the podcast. I've kind of switched between the two. But I got to tell you, I think the only downside is I can't manually plug them in. So you probably won't see me using it much on the podcast. Although I got to figure out a way to get a bluetooth added to the computer that we use the computer i use

i don't have a bluetooth thing for it so i probably need a plug and see if i can work that out but i just kind of like the sound of being corded um to my system it just gives me a real sound but i don't know we'll play with it maybe you'll see me having them on maybe i'll show them in the next video but i always get compliments on big people who show up on the show. I get people that compliment them on YouTube for my reviews and stuff. I got to tell you, they're going to be making lists. MasterDynamic.com. Go to it.

I believe it's just MasterDynamic.com. Go to it. Buy MH40s, MW65s, if you want the earbuds, I believe they're the MW07s, get anything there, anything there, the stands are immaculate, even the stands that they sell are immaculate and beautiful, they have the beautiful M&D on the end of them. Just every little bit of this product that these folks make over there is just so meticulously. You just look at the product. I can still look at mine five years later and just see new stuff and be like, wow, they really put some effort into that.

They really thought that through. and, you know, I even got the MH40s, and I think most of the headphones, they have, like, a piston system to move the headphones up and down, and I gotta tell you, I just, wow, man, I can't believe it, I show it to people, I'm like, this is five years old, so there's that, so anyway, I'm really in love with it, if you haven't seen the new products coming out from master and dynamic I highly highly highly recommend you check them out and they will be making our top of a list of our best products that you can buy for your loved ones are they a little expensive they are but let me tell you something the mh40s I think when they came out I think there were 400 bucks I think they're 300 now you'll have to take a little website and you might want to watch for some Christmas specials but these things and i remember people back when i posted on facebook

about them i'm like these are some really nice expensive headphones they're like whoa those headphones are a little much you know this is like five years ago and i'm like but they're really worth it they're like this aren't gonna last i've had mine for five years. I've gamed in them sometimes eight to 12 hours a day, and they still look almost as new as the day that I got them, and they perform exceptionally well. Like I've blasted the crap out of them to the point where I'm not sure I can hear anymore. You know, I've run super bass through them. One of our songs we like to test with bass is the CeeLo song, Big City, I think it is. You want to test some bass in your speakers, put that song on

and crank it to 11. So I got to tell you, I'm super impressed with what I've gotten so far the MH40s wow wireless it blew my mind Master Dynamics you guys are the greatest anyway I'm sorry this turned into a 10 minute ad for them but I've just been gushing here verbally over how great they are and you will see them on the list

and if you do see me anytime on the podcast I will be wearing master dynamics um uh and i don't see that changing anytime soon so but i i'll i'll keep an open mind i'm a reviewer so i'll keep an open mind if you can send me a better consumer headphone we'll try it and see here's the thing that we do here on the chris faust show we keep a bunch of some of the best headphones that i feel we like and then we use them as reference points so if a company sends me like plantronics sent us some uh gaming headphones a short while ago um i think xbox has sent us some return of beach yeah they got some good headphones um you know we we're always getting headphones and stuff um uh what's what's

the name audio dynamics audio technica audio technica um sign hauser or whatever um they all send us headphones and uh and so we use all these headphones as reference points and we put them on ourselves and go does this sound better than that? We crank them up. We spend time listening to them. We hand them to friends and go, okay, do you, are you hearing what I'm hearing? Or am I just crazy? Or is this better than that one? And we do this and that's how we process all this stuff. So when you look at the reviews in the Chris Voss show, there's reference points that we do. And, and we just don't, we just don't go off in memory. We're just go, I think this is better than those headphones we had last year. No, we have them in the office, and we A-B test them,

and we go, does it sound better? We have a whole different musical list that we go through of really well-produced sonic recordings that were recorded well in the studios that come through the speakers' will and give them all sorts of tests, tests of the high range, the mid-range, the bass. There's some times where we get a product when it comes to audio where they've got the treble jacked up so high,

it just feels like you're banging a piece of steel against a tin roof. It's like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, and it will just make you mental if you have really good headphones. So I've got to tell you, Master Dynamics make the list. If you're out there and you haven't submitted your products for review, the Chris Voss show for consideration for that list, get it over here now. So let's move on to tech news after the big Master Dynamics thing. I got to tell you guys, I'm not kidding you.

I've listened to, I don't know, we've reviewed 3,500 products now on the Chris Voss show. I think we're approaching 3,600. Um, we've reviewed a lot of headphones. In fact, I think there's playlists on the YouTube channel you can go to that have like, it has like all the headphones. There's like a headphone playlist of all the headphones reviewed. Uh, we reviewed a lot of headphones. It's crazy. Sometimes I go, wow, man, there's a lot of headphones we've looked at. But I got to tell you, we love our Mastering Dynamics.

And there's a lot to come close. There's a lot to come close from me given the – we kick the tires hard around here. And we keep coming back to the old master and dynamics just between the perennial um thing of sound and quality of build and durability i mean jeez i mean so anyway what i said mentioned earlier before i said when is 300 bucks for a set of the mh40s i've got these to last me five years so what is that costing you like 60 bucks a year and the quality is exceptional the look is exceptional everywhere you go people are going to be like what are those you know you might even get laid wearing them i don't know hasn't worked for me yet but i don't

try because i you know i anytime i meet a chick you know she'd be like those are nice can i borrow this for a while and then i'll never see him again you know that goes anyway we've all had to have and women they're wonderful anyway guys uh let's move on to tech news what's going on in the world chris i don't know i'm just gonna tell you though so there's that so on top of today is November 14th, 2019. Welcome to today. Those of you who are still swirling in your coffee going, I'm trying to find my legs. Caffeine, do your magic. According to Bloomberg, sources say, sources say,

Simon says, sources say, Apple is considering bundling News Plus, Apple TV Plus+, and Apple Music as soon as 2020 to attract subscribers, meaning less money for news publishers. Way to go. Poor news people. They always get screwed by Facebook and Apple. But, no, I think this is a good idea. You know, one of my friends, I think who writes for Forbes he added up like all the fees that you could pay and I was talking to my friend Robert school

about this the other night we're talking about all the fees you can pay and you know they really do add up like I've joined so many services for you know social media marketing and all this sort of stuff and it's always like hey Chris it's only $9.99 a month and you're like fuck it it it's only 9.99 a month and you're like ah fuck it it's only 9.99 a month and you go ahead and subscribe and then one day you get looking at your like bank account and you're like holy crap there's like 10,999 there's ten thousand dollars worth of money going out the door in nine dollars and 99 segments what the hell what the hell have i done and then you try and whack them all them all you're like okay so which

one don't i need and which one do i need and uh yeah so you're you know it's crazy in fact it's gotten so out of control that there's uh there's a couple bank ads you've probably seen for online banking where the're like, our program helps you wipe out all those subscriptions you have that can save you thousands of dollars. I mean, it's out of control. So I think that will help Apple people and make things more cheaper for them and everything else. Evidently, according to sources, again, with CNBC's story, Apple signed 200,000 subscribers to Apple News Plus in its first 48 hours in March,

but has since struggled to add customers. So that's probably why they're trying to fold that into a bundle. And I think a bundle pack makes better sense. You know, you can get people that either want to do all a cart or they can do the other thing. This is another story. CNBC, we talked about this I think a week or so ago on the chris voss show podcast i'm sure every one of you listened to that podcast so good for you um microsoft was awarded what's called a jetty contract uh from the pentagon i think it was

like 10 or 20 billion or something like that i think it was 10 billion and it was you know to do you know stuff for the pentagon which is you know help run the government and do you know stuff government stuff eh uh so anyway amazon got sidelined amazon was also competing with it for it against microsoft but it's recently come out that donald trump i'm sorry to get political but this is technical as well and part of our story of news, came out, I believe through a book from General Mattis, through General Mattis' assistant, excuse me, through General Mattis' assistant, that Trump didn't want Amazon to get the contract, was trying to interfere with him. So now, guess what? Amazon said it's filed a protest to the Pentagon's decision to award the JETI contract to Microsoft,

claiming unmistakable bias and errors in the process, according to CNBC. So that's going to be kind of interesting and might shape the narrative of how both these companies get along in the future with their finances, etc., etc. I mean, $10 billion, that's, last I might check, that's, you know, that's worth putting up a fight for. Everything else, and especially when you've got different plate people on record

saying that they're going to hurt Amazon, and certainly, you know, President Trump has had issues with Jeff Bezos and Washington Post. We'll leave the politics right there at the door. So that's going to be kind of interesting how it's going to shake out. Evidently, Oracle and IBM were removed from the competition. And so, you know, maybe everyone's going to jump in and say, hey, but, you know, I think only one of those companies owns the Washington Post, which has had problems with the president. So we'll see what shakes out of this thing. Maybe they're going to drag everyone to court, and we'll get depositions,

and we'll find out some interesting stuff about what goes on behind the scenes. Next up, from TechCrunch, Google is now rolling out support for RCS messages in the Android messaging app to all of its users in the U.S. This is kind of interesting. It's called Rich Communication Services Message. It's the next generation of SMS, and evidently they're rolling it out across the Android Messages app. I'm not sure if I was using it.

I know I used something that was working with my desktop and my phone. The only problem is it won't work with my Google Voice, and I have my Google Voice so that I can use multiple phones. You know, we get review units of different phones from companies in AT&T predominantly. The phones that we get, you know, they send us with different numbers on them. Since we're testing them out, Google Voice is so great at centralizing everything to where any of my calls can go to whatever phone we're testing. So I don't know, man.

According to TechCrunch, it's rolling out, and you can watch for it to come to your phone if you're on Android. It'll be interesting to see what Apple's going to do here in the future as well. According to CNBC sources, the 50 AGs investigating Google are preparing to expand their antitrust investigation beyond Google's ad business into search and Android business. So this is going to be kind of interesting, kind of a thing where, you know, where does this go from here? We've been talking this for a while because it seems like a lot of our, the social media tech companies, Facebook is under pressure

from antitrust investigations and attorney generals. What will happen? Will they get broken up? Will they get split up? Will they have to start meeting demands? You know, a lot of these companies have had to deal with the EU and other governments around the world that have been leaning on them and going after them for antitrust stuff to try and deal with it.

What does this have to do with the shape of the future? I don't know, but we'll keep talking about it on the Chris Voss Show podcast as time goes by and things develop. According to CrunchBase News, Toronto-based password manager 1Password raises $200 million Series A led by Excel. It's the first external round of funding in its 14-year history. 1Password is a Toronto-based password manager. It announced today it has raised $200 million in a massive Series A funding that was led by Excel.

1Password is a great way to protect your passwords. I use Authy. That's my favorite, but 1Password is another way. You can't have enough security, people. You got to get that. I know it's a pain in the ass. It's a pain in the ass for me, but I've just had to learn to accept it

after a couple of my accounts were attempted to be hacked, and still to this day I got a message a couple days ago from Match.com I haven't been on Match.com for 50 years but someone's trying to hack into that account it's like have fun with that dating profile

there you go I don't know but they're always trying to figure out a way to get in. So you might want to check out 1Password. Authy is good as well. According to TechCrunch, Instagram is expanding its tests, making like accounts private to the rest of the world beyond Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Italy, and New Zealand. A lot of people are up in arms about this, that people aren't going to be able to see their light counts to know how popular they are etc etc uh you know i don't whatever you want to do instagram i mean they're gonna do what they're gonna do on this topic so everyone's gonna

have to go in with it um i think it hurts influencers but uh i don't know maybe light counts help influencers too much i don't know this is your argument i just don't know. Maybe like counts help influencers too much. I don't know. This is your argument. I just don't have a dog in this fight. I just don't really care. I wonder if the people on our accounts, we know at least how many likes we get. Because that would be good where you can go to sponsors and other people and be like, well, here's how many likes I got.

And screenshot it and shit. Or if just no one knows what that stuff is. So I don't know. It'd be kind of interesting. According to Verge, Google search launches an experimental feature on mobile that will use AI to let users check their pronunciation of unfamiliar American English words. So this should be kind of interesting. You can speak in the microphone to be schooled by Google. Google Search is launching a new feature

to let users check their pronunciation. So that should be kind of interesting, AI pronunciation. Maybe I should use that. It'd be like, whenever I'm doing the show, it'll be like, hey, Chris, man, you're not pronunciating. Endometriosis right. I mispronounced that on purpose, by the way. Endometri, I don't even know what the word is.

On to public school, people. What do you expect from me, man? You're getting the show for free. Give me a break. According to Vice, Pornhub, you know that website that none of you ever claim to go to when your wife confronts you porn hub never heard of that honey no how did that get on my computer screen i have no uh these damn kids and it's probably a virus or something that i picked up ah that's disgusting uh porn, you may have heard of them. Just late at night.

According to Vice, Pornhub says PayPal is no longer supporting payments for Pornhub, affecting over 100,000 performers who use the site as a source of income. Wow, man, 100,000 thousand performers i'm in the wrong business why am i why am i doing podcasts when i could be shaking my booty i could be mixing some money shaking my booty yeah ain't nobody want to pay to see that if there's anybody in my audience who wants to pay who wants me to do that I'll start a Patreon for that and we'll go from there

I already have the webcam set up and the mic and the lights so ah what the fuck I'm not sure what kind of porn I do if you have ideas on porn that you think Chris, no don't, no no stop, don't, don't I don't, I started opening a Pandora's box and once I realized where I was going, no, no I don't don't no stop don't don't i don't i started opening a pandora's box and once i

realized where i was going no no i don't want you to send me advice please stop don't i'm hiding my email right now from any public sites it's on um so anyway uh that's kind of interesting. PayPal's getting, I guess, porn is bad. So there you go. I don't know. If you're on, I guess, you know, you'll just have to get Pornhub Zig Venmo, which is also owned by Pornhub PayPal. It was kind of funny. I remember, I think a year or two ago, I started noticing that Venmo was hot

because our clients at CES were like, can we pay through Venmo? And I'm like, what is Venmo? And they're like, yeah, everyone's using Venmo. And it's like a lot of parents use Venmo to pay their kids, you know, give them like allowance or, you know, the kid needs to, I don't know, buy some stuff or something. They, you know, they pay the kid through the Venmo. Um, a lot of university students you know their their parents will send and it's really weird because uh i had one of the companies say to us they go hey man we're gonna have to pay you through uh venmo and they go why and they go because because we don't uh trust paypal we have a real issue with paypal and i'm like did you know that venmo is owned by PayPal?

Like, yeah, it's just a rulesman. Like, okay, I don't care how you pay me as long as it gets here. And in my bank. What else do we have? 9 to 5, Mac is recording that Apple Research app is now available to download for the iPhone and Apple Watch. URS users can enroll in three health studies. And yeah, you can sign in and become a guinea pig for health apps. Sell your soul.

Why don't you give them your DNA, your sperm, your blood sample, and everything else while you're at it. I love how this is all like a volunteer system. It's kind of like, it's kind of like Facebook. We're like, come on, just give us your information. It'll be fine. Yeah. You can trust us. Yeah. We won't do anything bad with it. Sure. Yeah. Just trust us. Just fill that out. I don't know why I'm doing Sam Kinison on his first night on Letterman there, but yeah, uh, that's kind of, that's kind of where that bit came from, I didn't realize that until halfway through it, yeah, it's love, man, it's love, yeah, I know I screwed you over like eight times, but no, man, it's love, I want to hear you, if you haven't seen that bit

from David Letterman, Google Sam Kinison and, and David Letterman appearance. I believe it's the first time he did Dave Letterman, and it blew my mind and changed my life. Let's put it that way. There you go. I'm probably not married because of Sam Kinison. It's your fault, Sam. God bless you wherever you are in the heavens.

Next up on The Verge, Motorola announces a new Raz phone razor phone still will not shave your beard 6.2 inch touchscreen display that folds like a clamshell like a clamshell what these phones are back uh launching in january everything that's old is new, and everything that's new is old, what? Launching in January on Verizon, Verizon, can you hear me now? In the U.S., do I get a check for that? I want a check for that, a royalty check, I said the line, man, do I get paid? This is why I like AT&T better.

In the U.S., 1,500? What? 1,500 phones? Oh, man. You know what? This is, I'm getting. You know, I'm sorry. I was cool with the phones below 1,000.

But I'm having a real problem with phones over 1,000. I got to tell you. And I don't pay for these phones phones they send them to me to review but still even then like if you if you said to me you're gonna pay a thousand i'll be like man can we go back to the days when i used to subsidize the phone you dropped like 200 bucks and they just give you the phone if you do your two-year, you know, the subsidization was great. Man, those days are gone. Gone. $1,500 for a phone? Holy crap.

My relatives have kids, and I used to see how much they would, you know, every year they'd re-up the kids, and they'd re-up themselves, and usually the kids would get the best phones. But that was back when subsidation was going on. Subsidation? Is that even a word? That was back when subsidation was going on where it is now. Because I'm taking poetic license with it. God, I really need to go to college one of these days.

Then I'll just be in debt and learn nothing um so anyway um yeah i mean back then they had they had the subsidized thing so the parents didn't have to cough up fifteen hundred dollars oh my god how do you even buy a well i think i guess that's a hundred bucks a month for a year but that's a hundred bucks a month for the phone on top of your on the top of your service geez wow man i mean you're gonna have to get a home equity line to buy your old family phones every year have fun with that i don't know maybe it's a really great phone we'll find out i'll try and keep an open mind for 1500 i'm

starting to feel like that old guy who's like get your 1500 phone off my off my uh lawn anyway they have a foldable screen on the razor and so i guess that's what it is anything with a fold you've got to take in um anything with a fold, you've got to take and charge extra for it because it's probably going to fail a lot. I don't know. Samsung Galaxy Fold didn't do too well. I guess it's doing okay now. They refixed it and took it out.

According to CNBC, Salesforce will use Microsoft's Azure for its marketing cloud service, signaling a thaw in their complicated relationship. Salesforce and Microsoft, of course, have not always gotten along. If you've been following this story the last 10 years plus. And I guess they're going to all be friends and get along. Good for them. Good for them.

This is a story that's close to my heart. This is for gaming. Gaming, Chris. This is the segment of the show where we do gaming. There's some interesting stories coming up, actually. I'm looking at a list here. You want to stay tuned. This is the stay tuned part of the show.

Anyway, Microsoft plans to launch its xCloud game streaming service in the U.S. in 2020 with plans to expand the xCloud preview to Canada, India, Japan, and Western Europe. Why am I talking? Never mind. Just whatever. So anyway, it looks like Microsoft is planning to go outside of the console, and you're going to be able to get it with your Windows 10 as well. Now, if you're familiar with it, this month, I believe, yeah, this month, Stadia is supposed to be launching by Google.

It comes with a little Chromecast dongle that I get. My understanding is it also is a Chromecast dongle, but it looks just like the Chromecast dongle. And you buy a little controller, and you play your games through the cloud. And one of the big names they have signed up is Destiny, which is run by Bungie. I'm a big Destiny fan, so I'm kind of interested to see how that works. Maybe I can play destiny on the road you know i can just plug into like a uh you know put in my atd mi-fi plug it into a thing and away we go so anyway uh yeah that's the big picture sticking to it um x cloud so i guess it's going to compete with stadia i mean i we really do with

the bandwidth that we have and with the forthcoming bandwidth of 5g we really need to get away from consoles and hardware and crap i mean really stuff should move to cloud we've been hearing about the cloud it's gonna go in the cloud for so long uh why is it gaming in the cloud i mean really these it doesn't seem like these things things are getting any better my pc is far faster and better and able to push 4k than the ps4 pro that i have um and you know my ps4 pro used to make all this noise and then finally i put an ssd in it and it sounds really good there's less noise and less blast but even then a lot of the games uh i can only get with the playstation i can only get up to i believe 1080p at 30 frames per second um and you go into my pc and you get 60 frames per second you get 2k and you have 4k and depending upon how

you've got your system set up you you can really push 4K 60 FPS. You're going to spend a ton of money to do it. But it's going to look really freaking good. If you do it right. Let's put it that way. So this will be kind of interesting. We're going to have the Battle of the Online Gaming Wars. Will PlayStation join in?

I don't know. Will Nintendo jump in? I don't know. So there you have it. We're going to have Stadia, and then next year we'll have the xCloud game. Now, I think one of the cool things about the xCloud game is that it probably should integrate with your Xbox that you have now or your Windows 10, of course you have now, on PC, Windows 10, I actually use the game, I forget what they call it, the X game, it's the thing where you pay the monthly service for Xbox, I don't have an Xbox, but I pay the game service, and it enables me to download games,

just like I would on my Xbox, but play them on my PC, and I really like that, I just wish they'd get better games over there, seriously, Gears 5, don't buy it, anyway, what else do we have here, this is explosive, this is boom, remember when I told you there was something big coming down the pike, holy mother of Jew, Judas, Judas, Jews, mother of Jews Jews are nice Jews are really good people I have a lot of friends are just they're cool they don't try and convert you they don't knock on your door it's on Saturday and be like hey have you heard about the gospel of blah blah blah they're just like hey man we got a religion and it's cool we don't need to tell you about it, because we're pretty secure with it, I love juice, anyway, mother of Jew, who's Jew, and why are you talking about his mother that way,

anyway, New Jersey says Uber, Uber car riding service owes $650 million in unemployment and disability insurance taxes because Uber has been misclassifying drivers as independent contractors. Now, that's just one of the state kids. Imagine if 50 states hit them with this thing and backdated all their stuff. That's a lot of cash, Margaret. Who's Margaret? I don't know. Anyway, if you've been listening to the Chris Voss Show,

we've been talking about this over the past couple weeks too. California just enacted that new law that takes away the gig economy of being able to use these people as independent contractors contractors which is a huge impact to companies like this so uh what is going to change uber's bottom line it's going to affect their uh stock price which hasn't done that well since it launched either uh what is going to be the effect is the world changes the rules and it catches up to some of these guys and impacts the bottom line they're their ability to serve customers etc Center 650 million dollars in New Jersey alone imagine if 50 states did that let's just say let's just for the ease of being able to calculate math in my public school head

let's say it's 500 million dollars on average over 50 states hitting him so that would be 25 billion dollars oh boy that might you might feel that and i'm not i'm pretty sure they're not going to take a check for it either here's a check yeah i'm gonna run away now because that thing's going to bounce to high hell. It probably won't work. Anyway, guys, that's the rundown of news and some of the discussion we have about the products, the best products that we think to buy for people you really love for Christmas. Now, if you hate people, and I've said this before over the years, if you really love someone, give them a Master & Dynamic dynamic headphone I'm not being paid for this folks give them master dynamic headphone because that is a wonderful expression of love and beauty that will

last for years you can every time you have your anniversary you can be like hey you're still enjoying that wonderful headphone but if you really hate someone and you want to tell them that you don't truly love them, don't get them a Master Dynamics headphone. It's cool. You know, just remember, they're going to know. Anyway, guys, be sure to go to MasterDynamics.com and, you know, get your eye on them for Christmas. Maybe sign up to their thing every now and then. They'll have sales.

Maybe you can get some Christmas sales. I don't know if they're planning any Black Friday stuff, but I definitely have my finger on that button. So you might want to do that. And watch for the views that we'll be doing on the Chris Foss show, the MW07 pluses, I believe, and the MW40s. MH40s? There's too many MWs and MHS.

MH40s wireless. We're going to have those on the Chris Voss show as well. Anyway, guys, thanks for tuning in. We certainly appreciate you. Remember, there's eight podcasts at the CVPN and the chrisvosspodcastnetwork.com. Be sure to check on those. Subscribe to them, and we'll see you next time
