Oh, and a special announcement. Wow, I just remembered this.

This is the 350th show of the Chris Voss Show. The Chris Voss Show website was bought back in August. I think it was about the 20th or 21st, so it's 10 years old. In November, we started the podcast, and obviously I didn't stick with it. But, you know, you have these ups and downs, and sometimes you're busy doing other things that are more important, but now we're back,

baby, and we're rocking and rolling. And there's hundreds of thousands of downloads of this stupid podcast, so you can go check them out. We keep 300 up at any given time, but we are now at 350. So there you go. There's 50 archives somewhere you might never get to hear again, but you can go to the chrisfosh.show.com and search them. I got some really interesting news today. Let's cover, let's get into this

because a lot of meat here, a lot of meat here on Chris Day, which is, which will be hereby further known as Chris Day. Because Friday, man. You know what? Here's what I think. I think that Friday is such a cool day. Like, everybody looks forward to Friday, right? I think you should be able to name Friday after yourself because this is your day.

I don't know. Maybe Saturday, Sunday is more your day. I don't know. Just let me know is more your day. I don't know. Just let me know. You're welcome to write to me on Twitter at twitter.com forward slash Chris Voss, LinkedIn forward slash Chris Voss, and let me know what you think.

What should we call these days? Because I'm sick of this shit. I've been putting up for 51 years with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, all this BS. It's time for change. I feel like I'm Bernie. I should be doing a bernie impression right now

these one percenters are telling us what day it is and it's time did we uh make our own days so that's the best bernie i got i don't i don't spend a lot of time trying to imitate bernie i i'm i think about 20 more years before I met that old man on the lawn stage. Get off my lawn. Um, so let's get into the news. So Chris, we turned in for the news. We didn't turn in for this shit. What's going on?

Anyway, guys, uh, so let's start off the top. So Chris Laws likes to go to product on every morning and pick what he thinks is most interesting for my listeners. And wow, there's an interesting product on Product Hunt that is pretty cool. It's called Mission 8. It's a five-in-one re-engineered shower solution. Now, this is pretty cool. And if you haven't gotten a chance, go to Product Hunt and check it out. It's got, how many upvotes has it got?

It's got 64 upvotes, about halfway up the list because, you know, software pretty much dominates some product hunts. This thing's kind of an interesting offer and they've got a cool kind of James Bond-ish sort of promo video introducing it on product hunt. And, you know, if you want to just kind of enjoy your Friday, you might want to check it out uh the video is kind of cool how they they take a percent i think it's brilliant marketing so let's put it that way so uh this is on kickstarter and i believe it's also on the other competitor i forget the name of it off the top of my head but this is uh called mission eight that's one word mission

and then the numeral eight uh five andin-one shower solution, and they claim to have reinvented showering. This is a product I'm going to try and get to review, and I really like the design of it. It looks really beautifully designed, something kind of Steve Jobs-ish sort of hardware design. They originally put up for a $20,000 goal. They're at almost $200,000 right now, which is pretty good. Says people like their products.

They've got about 13 days to go. You can go to their Kickstarter page and also see the cool video I was telling you about. And this thing's really interesting, what they did with it. Now, we're living in an age where, of course, politics in the White House are dialing back our EPA standards. You're seeing not only Flint, Michigan having water issues with lead in their water, but you're also seeing, I believe, New Jersey is now in trouble. There's a city in New Jersey that's having water problems, and they're having to get their own water. There's been different things percolating throughout the nation. I think there was one in Arizona City that was having problems with lead-based or chemicals in its water.

You know, you kind of start wondering what's in your water. Certainly, I've got here at the house a reverse osmosis machine that we use that I love and gives me great water. And it's got like 12 freaking filters in it, including reverse osmosis and three UV filters and a six to eight filter, uh, canister thing. Um, you know, you really got to be concerned with what's in your water today. And what's really scary is, uh, some of these folks in New Jersey were drinking this water for a long time and got high lead levels, uh, and their kids did too. I, you know, I don't have kids myself, but I really feel for anyone with kids.

And God, I would just be horrified if my kids drank a bunch of lead water. I would just be, I don't know, I'd be just bleeding out my eyes with rage. I'd probably be able to spit blood at politicians over it. So anyway, this is an important thing. So they claim, let's put it that way, because, you know uh this is an important thing so uh they claim let's put it that way because you know this kickstarter sometimes people put stuff up and you don't know where it goes and so

i'm always i always have that like prove it sort of attitude uh but they uh claim to have a uh contaminated no more contamination low pressure water with empty hefty price it's got a built-in filter system specially designed spray plate and it protects people from polluted water and turns everyday shower routine into much more enjoyable it comes in you can pull the head off uh the holder so if you want to just wash particular parts of your body as well, you can take and do that. Um, and, or you can just have it be the shower head. Uh, it says that with the fine tune, uh, sort of, uh, holes that they put in it, it'll give you a nice solid spray that isn't too hard, but it's perfectly hard, uh, to get you clean, you know, get, get that perfect thing. And, um, and they have these

little cartridges that can go in it with a active booster, help you with a relaxer, help you have a different sleep. It's kind of interesting what they, how they built it. It also claims to have three times stronger water pressure. So that's interesting. If you live in low water pressure areas, or maybe you've got one of those old shower heads that's just filled with gunk, I always have to dip mine in that one crap every couple years to clean out all the buildup of it. What's going to be interesting to me is how this will work in hard water environments too as well with the filter that's in it. 99% purity filter that you put in. You've got a Choices shower

booster pack that you can put in. 17% water savings, they claim. And it's got a handheld shower with a hose. With Mission 8 right now, you can get it for 45 bucks. They anticipate bringing it to market price for 120. So kind of interesting.. I like to see how this goes. I'm always interested in a good shower. I believe a good shower really starts out your day. And I've, I've got those ones with the giant heads cause I'm a big guy, but I also like getting covered in water. Like when I go to hotel, uh, rooms when I travel, they always have this like little thing that's made for, I don't know, like midgets and skinny people or something, and they don't require a whole lot of water coverage of their bodies.

They have this, you know, whatever. So anyway, check it out. I'm kind of really interesting. It does claim also 1.5 greater coverage with the Mission 8 of your body, and that's really what I like because, you know, especially if it's wintertime and it's cold outside, you know, your outer body's freezing and, you know, you get this little blast of water on your set on your center body. And, and then if you're trying to wash your hair, like I have a big head and, uh, you know, you, you're trying to get

clean and stay warm a little bit. So, uh, they say it will help with rusty pipes, impurities in your shower head, and everything else. So this will be kind of interesting. And, you know, you can try it, see how it works. And they've got a lot of studies on the site where they test the water and everything else. So check it out, Mission 8. I don't know, man. Great shower makes your day so much better and everything else. So check it out, Mission 8. I don't know, man. Great shower makes your day so much better and everything else. So let's get into some of the other tech news that's out there.

There's a lot of interesting things going on today. So let's get into them. This is really interesting. For two years, a handful of websites hacked thousands of iPhones that visited them, getting access to live location, data, photos, contacts, and even passwords. This is according to Wired Magazine. It's being reported. And it's also being reported, I believe, in the Washington Post.

So you can take a look at that as well. And also, I believe, Axios.com is reporting as well. Websites hacked iPhones for years. And basically they implanted surveillance software on your iPhone between 2016 and the discovery in February of this year. So that probably wasn't very helpful when it comes down to it. So there you go. And so you may want to look into this and be aware of stuff. Evidently, Apple has patched the security flaws that they had, but geez, wow, it took them three years to figure that out. In fact, Apple was alerted by Project Zero, an outside company, that what was going on. You know, you would think these companies could figure this stuff out on their own. You know, Apple, you know, kind of has a budget, some money.

So, you know, I don't know. Maybe they could have figured that out. But, you know, they do have to care first. So there's that. This is kind of interesting. Google Ventures' Me Too problems come to light with new allegations. Evidently, there's one of the gals, Jennifer Blakely, she's published a Medium post that details her volatile relationship

with the chief legal officer of the parent company, Alphabet. And she also alleges he had affairs with two other employees from Alphabet, Google. That's kind of interesting. That's also in Axios as well. So yeah, a bit of Me Too still going on. Google's kind of going through an interesting phase right now. And I just kind of find this just kind of interesting as to where they're at. The gloss is definitely on for social media companies when it comes to Facebook and Google. You see some of the political uprisings, the Me Too uprisings, the equal pay

uprisings at Google. There's a lot more activism as Google. In fact, Google just recently, Google, that reminds me of something, Google just recently, hey Google, get off my calendar uh that's what it reminds me of uh google recently um enacted some policies at their uh with their employees that state they don't want their forums their internal forums used for political purposes for shaming others for bashing others um in fact they're kind of trying to squelch politics being discussed inside the company as a whole which is kind of trying to squelch politics being discussed inside the company as a whole, which is kind of interesting. But it seems to me they've got some activists that are there inside of Google that are raising awareness and calling the company out on different things like AI help for the government that they might be doing.

It'll be interesting to see how they go. You're also seeing kind of similar items from Facebook, where Facebook just seems to always constantly be on the ropes in the news, and the glean is off, if you will, where the shine is off, where people aren't just going, oh, Facebook is the glorious thing. We talked about this several times over the past few weeks, where social media now is no longer the beautiful angelic mermaid they're like it will bring world peace and now we're finding out that there's you know

grass is always greener on the other side and there's a double edge to the sword uh well there you go i mean human nature ruins everything eventually when it comes to it. I always tell people, people tell me, I want world peace. How do we get it? I'm like, kill all the humans so there's no more human nature and the world will be at peace. It's very true, actually, when you think about it. So a couple other things that are out there in the news. This is reported by the Washington Post. This is, hopefully I pronounced this correctly, Zoom.

It's Z-U with a overscore like Molly Crew. M, I'm not even sure it's the same as Molly Crew. I don't know this stuff. I went to public school in Trump University, so I don't understand English, clearly. If you know me, I don't. So I believe it's called Zoom, Z-U-M, a ride-hailing company for kids,

expands to six more U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. I don't know how I feel about this because Uber's had a lot of weird stuff go on. And what these guys have done is they've created a ride-hailing service that replaces the yellow bus, the yellow school bus. Uh, and I don't know, man, you know, I mean, you're a lot of scary, scary stories about some crazy bus drivers. And certainly when I was a kid in elementary school and junior high, we had some real

asshole bus drivers. Uh, they were mean. And I, you know, I probably would be too, if I worked around a bunch of kids. I mean, I'm half mean. I got just two Huskies. But, you know, there's been a lot of different things that have happened with Uber drivers over the years. And they varied, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, there's actually been reefs that have taken place. Do I really want my kids in the car with a complete stranger?

I mean, I don't know. I hopefully Zoom really vets these people, but I, man, I really don't know. But evidently it's really helping moms who want to be working moms and do stuff. And maybe they want that extra, maybe what they think is out of security over the school bus. Certainly in an age where schools are targets of all sorts of crazy people and everything else maybe it's more secure maybe it's more personalized I don't know but zoom is focusing on this I'm really surprised kind of uber doesn't do this but maybe their reputation is such might not be a good idea to me I just think it's a huge liability. I wouldn't want to be doing that, but I don't know. Maybe it'll make money. Maybe it'll be the new thing. I didn't know yellow school

buses needed to be disrupted. Maybe they do. There are some areas, I think, that struggle to maintain them from a cost aspect. You know, I come to think of it, you know, because I don't have kids, so I don't live in this world, but come to think of it, you know, cause I don't have kids, so I don't live in this world, but come to think of it. I do remember like in California and Las Vegas, seeing people personally driving their kids to school. Like they don't let them ride the bus, even though there is a bus system. They just, I don't know.

It's just safer. They, they, the kids aren't standing out in a corner where, you know, somebody could come by and kidnap them or grab them um and i remember seeing the huge lines when i drive by schools and be like oh my god does everyone personally drive their kids to school every day and then pick them up and i guess they do so maybe this zoom is a great way for that to uh take and happen for parents and make their lives easier. I don't know. Sounds crazy to me. So this is another story that I thought was quite interesting.

This is from the Washington Post as well. It's an article entitled, Hey, Google, Let Me Talk to My Departed Father. And it's by Peter Hawley, if you want to take and pull that up. This is kind of interesting. There's a rise of virtual beings that will be the next step in the human quest for immortality, is the question posed by Peter. And evidently, there's a gentleman who's part of a new project that they're working on. And what it is, is basically they're making a Siri voice that will be your missing relative that you can take and talk to.

He's going to be a pioneer to basically make this sort of memory that you can take and have where you can say, hey, you know, you can say to your Google devices or your A-A-L-E-X-A devices and kind of relive different experiences or different conversations you may have had with people who've departed. It's a thing called Hereafter. And basically, it's a startup that is working to do this, which will create the world's first residence virtually. And basically, you can, I guess, interact with them through your IoT devices, which is kind of interesting. This does touch me in a way that something I thought about. After my father passed, I have Google Voice on all my phones. AT&T sends us phones for reviews and we review them all the time. So we always have different phones from them with different

cards, different phone numbers. So I use Google Voice to centralize all that. And of course, it records voicemails and everything else. One thing that was kind of interesting was about six months after my father passed, I noticed that Google Voice had all these messages from him up until the day he died. And more importantly, in the last week or two before he passed and some of those messages from him, you could tell the struggle he was going through and the fear that he had. He didn't want to go. And he wanted to stay in it I suppose he had a lot of reasons to want to stay and you could tell he was fearful of it and you could hear it in his messages that he left for me and so I listened to the messages and

I was like it was like really interesting to process emotionally and intellectually as to what I do with these and uh I also found round about I think a year after I found his YouTube channel which I didn't even know he had and I think it was just suggested to me by the algorithms uh but I found his YouTube channel and he had these videos of him talking about, you know, his passions and some of the different companies he was working with and in healing and technology. And so I end up scraping the videos and with the Google voice recordings to my voicemail, I ended up saving them. And there's like a folder of them somewhere. And it's kind of an interesting, over the years, sometimes I think about what's the dilemma of what I do with those. Like, what is it? Do I go back and listen to those

from time to time? Certainly with my dogs, you know, I go back and I look at videos sometimes when I get reminiscent and you just want to pay some homage to your past and, and things that were in your life. I think we all go through those memory States. And, um, uh, so I, when I read this article, I got thinking, this would be kind of interesting where if I could say, Hey, Google, play me a voicemail from my dad or play my dad's video or, you know, in today's world, uh, you know, we have so much media. I mean, if I passed, there'd be so much media. I mean, there's 3,500 videos or something like that on YouTube. I can't even get the count anymore. I don't know where they put it. Um, there's 3,500 plus, uh, articles on the Chris Vris voss show uh i have media everywhere between instagram and

other video outlets uh there's the podcast i hope that would uh maybe keep going i've even told my family you know make sure that you get into the account keep the youtube channels going because the checks keep coming every month probably a lot i mean i don't think they know if i die on google just keep the checks flowing and cash them in. Have fun with that. Go to Tahiti. But there's all this media you can have. And if anyone ever missed me, they could easily say, hey, Google, play the Chris Foss show.

And you could get a chance to listen to it. Uh-oh. Okay. So there you go, and so if you really miss me, and you're like, I really miss the sound of Chris's voice, or I miss whatever, I miss him making me laugh sometimes, the, you could do that, and so more and more, we all have this media online, we have these Facebook videos. We have all this media that we've created. And if we pass, it would be kind of interesting to see how this could be tapped into and utilized for the purpose of memory and the purpose of, and maybe they could create virtual conversations. Maybe they could take an AI and make it so I could have a post-life conversation with somebody that I loved. And I could say, hey, dad, I miss you.

And he could say, I miss you too, son. Wow, that was kind of powerful. And it might be reassuring for a lot of people to have that conversation. Certainly, I remember the very first day, it I don't know, it might help people, might bring closure. I know sometimes crying over videos of my dogs and feeling that experience again helps the closure. Sometimes you've got to relive those moments so you can get them wrapped up emotionally and put them away and heal. So this might be kind of interesting, virtual memories, virtual people from the past, and maybe an AI could take their voice patterns and basically recreate it where if you had a conversation like, or, you know, here's an interesting thing, this might be like really

out there, but you could say, hey, mom, hey, I remember your, what was the, you know, that great pie you used to make what was the recipe for that pie and she'll read you off that pie of her famous pie that she posted on facebook or something i don't know there's a lot of different things you can go with that and uh uh you know we've got ai now where it can develop all this stuff i mean if you can develop fake bot videos of people talking and saying stuff um what if they could play that on the tv what if you could have a conversation with someone who's passed the tv uh interesting interesting world we're going to live in the future so the these

guys at hereafter are working on a software program uh or they were they did not design a ai conversational software program called dad bot and uh and evidently they brought it to life after one of the guys learned that his father was dying of cancer and allows him to change text and audio message with a computerized avatar of his late father conversing about about his life, as well as hearing songs, small talk, and jokes. So there's that. There's that as well. And people go through a lot of different things. One person in my family right now just lost their brother. And so they're listening to music that they used to listen to their brother, and they they're using music that reminds them of the area in west virginia where they all grew up and you know john denver song you know what take me back country roads was one of those songs so uh you know people use these different things to heal

to get closure to process and uh and come to grips with these different things. So it'll be interesting to see if in the future we have like an AI-driven world where people can do that. So here's another example from the story in the Washington Post. It took my mom two years to remove the answering machine messages to my dad's voice from their home phone. She didn't want to extinguish his voice. And that's something I've heard. And like I say, I saved my voicemail messages.

I kind of wish I'd saved more. I also ended up saving some of the voicemail messages from my sister, who now suffers from dementia and can't remember my phone number to call me anymore. And the dementia has pretty much taken her away. I don't think she remembers much of anything really but i still have i think old voicemail messages from her when she used to call me uh there was a time where she couldn't remember my phone number and she'd call me almost once a week wish me happy birthday and at first i would scold her a little bit and

then and then i just realized that it's probably better to just let her wish me happy birthday. And as Stephen Wright would say about his 90-year-old dad seeing the reruns on football, he would say that his grandfather thought that they made two touchdowns because of their replay. And he said, you know, I was going to tell my dad, but I got thinking maybe the game in his head is better. So there you go. So anyway, that's on the Washington Post. You can check it out here. After, you may want to check out

DadBot, maybe some of those things. Maybe they'll give you some good ideas of where the future is and what's going on. I think it's kind of interesting as well. What are some other things that are in the news today that kind of stuck out to the Chris Foss? Because that's what of interesting as well. What are some other things that are in the news today that kind of stuck out to the Chris Foss, because that's what you tune in for?

Windows 10 starts testing a more desktop-like Windows tablet mode for two-in-one convertible PCs. I believe those are the ones that flip open. I have one where it's a laptop, but then it's a tablet. I don't know. They still make these things so fucking big. You just might as well buy a tablet I just find them just being a challenge to hold and they weigh a ton but I don't know I guess they're trying to figure out a way to do it I still I love Windows 10 but I still don't like the whole tablet experience crap and the separate thing I haven't given that a go, but maybe it's easier for Windows. So whatever, whatever.

Bloomberg is reporting there were Jack Ma and Elon Musk. They have some highlights on Bloomberg, actually, a discussion about AI in Shanghai where Elon Musk sounded the alarm and Ma argued humans would prevail. Personally, I think Elon Musk is right, but if you want, check out Bloomberg. You can see the public debate that they had talking about everything else, and I guess Elon Musk's famous last words. I do think Jack Ma is probably a little Pollyanna because I've seen Terminator at least 50 times. Yeah, I know what happens in the future man i mean it really is

true ai is just gonna go how do we solve world peace and get rid of disease and solve sickness oh we exterminate all the humans and then the world's fine we don't need them anymore because we think for ourselves anyway uh this is kind of interesting, too. If you're an Apple person, looks like it's getting fun out there. Gizmodo is reporting multiple airlines worldwide are banning Apple laptops in check luggage, regardless of whether the model falls in the recall over fire safety. So I guess, you know, all my friends who gave me shit about the note 7 and it's fire hazard it's banning for american airlines well now you can't work on your macbook

pro hey man just turn it in man just get a decent laptop for an adult and uh a laptop you want to take to the genius bar every five fucking seconds come on man grow up it's it's a simple toy that's really what macbook is half of them can't even run fucking ai or vr or ar well they can run some ar i think now but they can't run vr so there's your sign really this is another story that uh cuts close to home this is from the Verge and something I've worried about in the past. Podcasts now are being review bombed in coordinating campaigns aimed at putting thousands of one-star reviews on their Apple podcast pages. And this is the shitty thing.

The hosts have no recourse. You know, we saw this years ago when Yelp started. You know, people competing this years ago when Yelp started, you know, people competing restaurants could review bomb other restaurants and basically really hurt them, almost put them out of business. Yelp did kind of an interesting thing that they got a lot of trouble for and a lot of lawsuits. And I'm not going to say they were doing it, but they were accused of selling you kind of a mafia service to help clean those babies up, those bad reviews. The Yelp review salesmen would show up and be like, nice place here.

You got to be ashamed if anybody gave you some bad reviews. But you know what? For $19.95 a month, we can fix all that for you, man. I'm not sure exactly they did that, so I don't want to say they did because my lawyer said I can't say that. I don't know, whatever. But I know there's a lot of lawsuits about it, and usually in most cases where there's a little bit of smoke,

there's probably a little bit of fire. So you never know. There might be some employees that overpromise some stuff, which is kind of interesting as well. probably a little bit of fire. So you never know. There might be some employees that over-promise some stuff, which is kind of interesting as well. So those are kind of some of the news stories that stuck out to me today on The Chris Foss Show. You can check out those websites and see what they think, etc., etc. And I think some interesting stories.

I'm definitely going to be ringing up the guys from the shower at the, uh, what's this thing called again? The shower mission eight. Go watch the video today. If you want to have fun on Friday, at least go watch the video. I should be getting money for this, huh? Um, go watch the video of mission eight. I think it's brilliant marketing. So if you're a marketer and you're like, you know, you like cool stuff, like the Aftershave commercials with, I forget the name of it. It was the grandfather's cologne. Arm & Hammer? No, no. I forget the name of it. It's a red bottle.

Anyway, they had that buff guy who would do all the funny marketing commercials. Go check those out and check this out. It's basically like a movie sort of trailer that they've made, kind of James Bond-ish sort of spy feel. And they, you know, explain the Mission 8. It definitely is a beautiful looking device, I got to tell you. And I'm kind of interested as to how they built it and designed it. I'm also interested in what they're using in their tabs for making it so that it keeps clean. I'm kind of curious as to what it definitely filters out and what it makes a difference. We've got some water things that were sent to us for traveling and stuff where you put a little charcoal fiber thing in or charcoal, whatever,

little round thing into the thing. And it's supposed to clean your water a little charcoal fiber thing in or charcoal, whatever little round thing into the thing. And it's supposed to clean your water a little bit, but I mean, it really doesn't like super clean your water. Like, you know, you still have, I believe some impurities there. It's just charcoal really. That's all it is. So anyway, go check it out. I'm interested to check that out. I'm interested in learning some more about this hereafter project. I think that's definitely interesting as well. So anyway, I appreciate you guys tuning in. Be

I will let you get back to the rest of your insert your name day here, or what I like to call Chris day. And let's all break the rules. We'll just name the days, whatever we want tomorrow's taco day people. Well, actually Tuesday should be taco day, huh? Taco Tuesday. Duh. In fact, it shouldn't be called Taco Tuesday. It should be called just Taco Day. Everyone knows Tuesday starts with T. So taco, T, taco. Maybe I have to do some word, what you can call it, word relation, word relativism. I forget what the term is.
