Speaker 1:

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Tech Hustle. It's your boy, bobby D, and the crew. What's up, D Hustle? What's going on? How about you, raymond Morning?

Speaker 3:

How you guys doing.

Speaker 1:

Raymond, don't call him Ray Ray Another episode we about to queue up. This is episode 42. I'm doing alright, for sure, for sure. Well, I want to say welcome you all to our next episode. We got a quick show lined up for you today. I'm going to go through the run of show and then also let you know a few things that we got going on at the end with the outro. First up, I'm going to be talking about other software or other jobs in tech outside of software engineering, because I think a lot of people are really worried about where the industry is going and I want to give you all some ideas of different career paths that you can pursue. We're going to have D Hustle with some technical current events or tech current events Raymond, don't call him Ray Ray with some really cool nuggets. You got a few nuggets lined up for us.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean. You know it's up to you guys in the audience to think if they're cool or not.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, well, we'll see. We'll make our own judgment here. And then we got D-Hustle going to close us out with some sports and sponsorship, and then I'll have some outros. Like I said, I'm going to tell you about a cool project that we're working on, with some releases happening very soon and, yeah, we're going to be on the road soon too. Again, we're doing our nationwide tech tour and our next city is up in a week or two isn't it D-Hustle.

Speaker 2:

Yes, sir, yeah yeah for sure.

Speaker 1:

All right then. So let's jump right into it. Like I said, we got a show, packed show, so we want to make sure that we keep to the time schedule we got, and I do appreciate y'all tuning in, as always. If you haven't done already, like and subscribe, tell your friends about us. We're here, all right, all right, all right. Dj DeHustle what up player? Get me going in the right mood. So the conversation for today from the tech talk is what other job opportunities are out there outside of just software engineering? And I'm going to ask you guys this question have y'all been worried about your job at all with the new era of AI and your roles? Yes, about your job at all with the new era of AI and your roles? Yes, huh, raymond's just nodding. He don't even want to say yes out loud.

Speaker 3:

I am actually. It was an old coworker of mine posted on LinkedIn. I don't know if you saw an article. There's a software company in Florida. They're based in Florida and then they have another location in Utah, but they laid off I don't know 2,000 people and he posted on LinkedIn that he's now looking for a job.

Speaker 1:

Word what was his role there.

Speaker 3:

He was QA. Ah, okay, so you know. I don't know why he got laid off, but there were rumblings that you know automation and AI.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I can definitely see that, because I actually had a few of my old colleagues that I used to work with at Citrix. You remember that company down in. Fort Lauderdale Citrix Systems. Yeah, so I used to work with this really cool manager. His name is Ed Olson. A big shout out to Ed. What's going on, player? Ed, we really appreciate the time or I really appreciate the time that I worked over there at Citrix and he had moved on to another company called UKG, which is almost like an SAP.

Speaker 3:

UKG, that's the company.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's the company. Yeah, that's the company. You see, look at that crossing right Interesting. But anyway, ukg had layoffs and I believe he got caught up in it too.

Speaker 3:

He got caught up in it. Okay yeah, my friend was a QA there I used to work with. He got caught up in it as well. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're definitely dropping a few people, but the thing that I think a lot of people are dealing with is, if it is AI that's the cause of it, is it the companies tighten their belts, but ultimately just talking about what other skills are outside out there, outside of software engineering? And definitely an opportunity for people to level up, but you said he was in QA software engineering. Um, and definitely an opportunity for people to level up, but you said he was in qa.

Speaker 3:

Was he writing code at all? He was just doing testing.

Speaker 1:

He was kind of like he was like automation which they write code yeah so, yeah, no, it sucks so so anything that potentially has a risk of getting cut um raymond can attest to it. Uh, automation writing code uh, potentially could be a risk for anybody's role what did your, your colleague, what did this guy?

Speaker 1:

do so. He was, I believe he was like a director of the cloud infrastructure there, so they basically made some changes over there in that lane. I believe I don't know how close that is in terms of being impacted by AI, but I know that he definitely was a director over cloud infrastructure over there.

Speaker 3:

Okay, yeah, let's see.

Speaker 1:

Two different aspects of working, so sorry for those that are dealing with this. It's definitely a wave that we're on, but in terms of some of the um roles, that um this question came in from one of our mentees is like hey, uh, if, if, we need to be mindful of ai and the change of the climate in our careers, um, especially as a software engineer, what other career paths could you transition to? Um, so, one of the climate in our careers, especially as a software engineer, what other career paths could you transition to? So one of the ones that definitely popped up to mind is around product management. You ever heard a role like that? Product management, yeah, did you have any of those over at your job? Tbc, right, it's like people.

Speaker 1:

That main role is to kind of understand how the product works, understand what the business use case for is it, and then obviously understand the tech part and be that medium or that person in the middle to ensure that we're delivering and or creating products that are expected by our customers and also by the business. So, product management you don't really write that much code. You're going to be dealing with a lot of people, right, people management, project management, coordination but you need to understand how the software work or how the system works, and that's why you're still very much involved in tech by being in product management. While I worked at Twitter, we actually had a lot of software engineers that transitioned into product management because it was a cool way for engineers to number one step away from writing code all the time to really understand the product, where they can make more influences on what we develop in terms of the product itself. So do you have any type of roles like that at places you've worked before? Raymond?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, everywhere I've worked, we've pretty much had a product manager.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

We have them right now where I work at now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah for sure. Another one that comes to mind is a UX designer. This is someone that basically helps come up with the idea of what the interface would look like for customers that are using it.

Speaker 1:

I think this one is not at risk per se, but I will definitely say we have to be mindful of AI, because AI can go and create anything artistically now and you can almost bounce ideas off of AI to help you come up with. You know what the end results would potentially be, but you still need a human involved in it to ensure that the user experience as as expected. So it's a UX design and definitely big shout outs to those that are creating UX services or applications. Another one that came on my list is this one's a little bit shaky and when I was doing analysis or looking at this I was, I'm not sure. But data engineering and data scientists have you heard of those skill sets?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, those seem to be blowing up right now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, man, I mean, that's something that I think, if you are interested in managing data, understanding how data could result into business decisions and or what a lot of data is being used for, is the piping it into AI. This potentially could be a role for you. You will potentially be writing code because you're going to be managing a large amount of data set. You're not going to be doing an Excel and Google Sheets at all. You're going to actually be writing, potentially, python code to do it and, in my opinion, I think you're going to actually have AI as an assistant to help you develop, but you're still going to need a human to validate some of that data. Another position that came up in my query is cybersecurity. How many times have you heard about cybersecurity? Right, I have.

Speaker 3:

I was talking to a friend yesterday oh, my son is going to school for computers. And I was like let me guess. And she said cybersecurity.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, cybersecurity is going to be around for a minute. I think there's a lot of buzz behind it, but the role itself is something that is really needed, and when I think of cybersecurity, I don't think about like a hacker and then a cybersecurity engineer and they're fighting against each other. I'm thinking of a cybersecurity engineer being someone that's ensuring compliance, ensuring that systems are managed the right way in terms of access. I'm thinking of cybersecurity in terms of even protecting network infrastructure, like firewall rules and access lists and things like that is. I feel like cybersecurity is moving more closer to access management and understanding compliance, rather than defending against hackers. So it's definitely something for everybody to do your research and I think the word cybersecurity is being used in too many lanes but, more specifically, just diving into the skill sets that you're looking for.

Speaker 2:

Basically what Bob is trying to say. If you guys need help with cybersecurity, type of coding. Come check out the Tech Hustle. We've got those courses there for you. Stop playing around my guy, In case you guys need some help.

Speaker 1:

My guy my guy Putting the plug in there for sure. And, like D Hustle say, come and pull up with us. We've got so many resources here. They all waiting for you. It's not like they ain't available, so come and holler at us. No-transcript, that is, that these skills are actually going to be even more valuable during the era of AI than they were in the past. Not in the past, but more or less. People are going to have, or need to have, access to it even more. So I know we've talked about it a number of times on this show in terms of upscaling with this, but just like D-Hustle said, give us a big shout-out for D-Hustle with that plug.

Speaker 2:

Shout-out to D-Hustle. I see you out there, baby.

Speaker 1:

Shout-out. We do have some resources around that, and the main thing that I'm really covering in this topic in terms of outside skills is that you're going to have to upskill. If you're in a position now that you feel like it's risk for AI or automation taking over, I want to encourage you to use the resources available to you and hey, the tech hustle's definitely got a few resources that y'all can definitely level up on. So definitely get at us. What's up, Raymond?

Speaker 3:

So, since you're talking about that, you know is ai going to take your job? So another plug is check out our school community. I did drop a nugget on there a few weeks back with a website that you can plug in your current job and it will give you a percentage on will ai take your job? So check out our school community. I did drop a nugget on there. You'll have to go and dig for it. I'm not going to give you the website so you'll find it. It will tell you if AI will take your job or not.

Speaker 1:

Thank you so much, raymond. Great, great plug. All of these resources, all of this information can be found at thetechhustlecom. Thetechhustlecom We'll have it down at the bottom, thetechhustlecom. Come and holler at us from our school community to online resources. And yeah, if you're trying to holler at D Hustle, all the time he's there he's ready to go. So, big shout-outs to everybody and definitely appreciate the question that came in. If you want some more details, come to our Discord. I'm dropping the name of all these roles, so definitely feel free to come and holler at me if you want some more questions about it. But yeah, that's all that I got, fellas.

Speaker 2:

Shout out to Bobby. Oh, Bobby D got a shout out, bobby D got a shout out.

Speaker 1:

I don't think I've ever got a shout out on my own show before you got it again. There it goes. Thank you so much, D Hustle. I appreciate you, man.

Speaker 2:

You know what it is You're so used to this, used to this.

Speaker 1:

Ah, this guy, this guy, this guy, let me give him another shout out. I appreciate you. I'm dropping knowledge player. I'm trying to give these people opportunities because we got an era that's coming up that I don't think everybody's ready for, and we're already seeing changes happen right in front of our eyes.

Speaker 2:

Shout out to Raymond. I think he's going to lose his job. Speaking of losing jobs.

Speaker 3:

You know what I wanted to tell you guys.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, this is related. I was driving the other day in Palm Beach Atlantic. I was driving Palm Beach Atlantic University over here I saw they had an advertisement. I thought it was very interesting. I wanted to tell you guys about it. You can get a certificate in AI now from Palm Beach Atlantic. I don't know what the hell that does, but you can get a certificate in AI. Shout out to Palm Beach Atlantic. I don't know what the hell that does, but you can get a certificate in AI, you know, shout out to Palm Beach Atlantic.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, good, shout out to them and your ski is moving fast.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean, I think in general there's going to be more. How can I say more educational institutions introduce smaller programs like that, because I think it's like that vocational school stuff or certifications or getting quick access to it is where they're going to be making really headwinds on entry into their programs there. So, yeah, big shout-outs to them, big shout-outs to them. That was interesting, all right, all right. Well, I guess, definitely, like I said, catch us out on Discord for the list of jobs and roles that we have. And yeah, next up we have my guy d hustle. What's up? Player, what's going?

Speaker 2:

on everybody. What's going on?

Speaker 1:

shout out to him we love you, thank you, thank you he's been waiting for that day you're far too kind, guys, thank you he's been waiting for that day, so on stage a lot of crap's going on right now with microsoft oh, what's going on?

Speaker 2:

microsoft tells Chinese staff to swap Androids for iPhones. What?

Speaker 1:

So Microsoft is worried about Chinese employees getting stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, let me tell you exactly what's going on with that. So here's exactly what's going on. So I don't know if you guys know, google Play is banned in China. Oh, it is, yes, and now, basically, what Microsoft is trying to do is get authentication on iPhones, letting know people who's who. That's the only reason they're able to switch. Interesting, interesting, so it's better authentication you mean yes, which is only available on iPhone. Wow, so they? All they want to do now is basically swap phones.

Speaker 2:

So you can use actually Google phones at Microsoft. Yeah, so that's. I don't know how do you guys feel about that.

Speaker 3:

I mean, it seems kind of crummy.

Speaker 1:

I think, for security purposes, why not? I mean, if you think of, if you think of what Android phones give you the ability to do, and one of the reasons why I originally went to Android phones is that I could do more stuff because I wanted to, you know, manage my own thing, like, I could access the file system. I could reinstall the whole thing if I wanted to. I could do basically anything I wanted to do on an Android phone. As soon as you get onto an iPhone, iphones lock you in. You can't do anything unless Apple tells you you can do it right. And if you think of security reasons, excuse me, that basically gives, uh, other countries an easier way to access your information if they wanted to, right, because you're on an android device. So, um, I think it's, it's warranted, especially with what china's been doing and what they've been developing. But, um, definitely, uh, it's interesting to see them move to iPhone rather than have their own stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I see Very interesting. Yeah, which comes up to my next segment, basically topic. Have you guys heard about cyber attacks?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, definitely Okay, so cyber attack now is targeting iPhone users. Oh word. So they're like all right, we go from Android, move everybody to iPhone, and now iPhones are the main point of the attacks On the other side of Raymond. There you go.

Speaker 2:

So basically, what's going on with that is basically you see how you're getting these weird text messages. Those are actually cyber attack people targeting iPhones.

Speaker 1:

Interesting.

Speaker 2:

All right, so let me read something here that I have. It says cyber criminals are sending text messages to iPhone users in the United States, which appears from Apple, but in fact attempting to steal victims' personal credentials.

Speaker 1:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

How do you feel about that, Raymond? They're going to find your folder. What are you going to do?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's a little scary. I got to rename that folder to kids' pics or something. So they just kind of ignore it.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I mean those text messages are dangerous though, especially when you get a text message and it has a link in there. I wonder how many people get a text and just click that link Right. As soon as you click that link, it's a wrap.

Speaker 2:

Especially the ones that you're FedEx or UPS tracking, yada, yada, yada. My favorite one, ones that you're fedex or ups tracking, yada, yada, yada. My favorite ones is like hey, dave, um, what are you doing today?

Speaker 1:

and I was like first of all, you're calling me by the wrong name, so I play, I'm not gonna lie to you, man I fucked up one of these people here so hard I'm like yo man.

Speaker 2:

I thank god, you sent me a message. I I lost your phone number.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Please let me know where you at so we can link up, and they always come with. Yeah, I haven't heard from you in a while. Man, well, let's catch up, but I'm in the bind right now. Can you send me some money? I'm just like yeah, definitely, how much do you need? I said, well, the way my bank account is set up, right now I'm not able to give more than five dollars a day. How about you send me your routing and checking and I'll send it to you? I haven't heard from the guy ever since.

Speaker 1:

Wow d hustle. Flip the table on him. Why not d flip the table?

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you got to do that, though you got to be very careful. Man For sure, text messages is there. If you win something from Target and you don't have and they say your name and everything, please, you're one of our valuable members and you don't have a Target card, that's red flag number one Facts. Why the fuck would you want to go in?

Speaker 1:

and click around and check stuff out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah so you're setting yourself up for failure. So please, people, be very, very more careful. If they say the name is darwin, your name is correct. Send me a routing and checking. Yeah, we can definitely go ahead and make things happen, but yeah, man, that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah for sure. Definitely thank you for that right there. That's lame I hate that.

Speaker 3:

I love when the scammers call me and stuff like that, and when I have my kids in the car I put it on speaker and my kids get a crack out of it. I just tell them this is the Trump administration and they hang up.

Speaker 2:

So they're my kids.

Speaker 1:

They don't want up there.

Speaker 2:

They're not want that smoke. Yeah, so that's funny. That's funny. I hate those calls, man, like especially the ones that it says listen, uh, I uh well, actually I don't get one. Uh, my wife gets when she goes. Uh, gets, hello, refer to, we're interested in your property. Yeah, like, first of all, her name is not we're afraid of facts let's get that out the way uh? Second, if it is, we have questions for you yeah, you know uh.

Speaker 2:

And then second they keep calling. Even if you put them on do not call list, they still call back, for some reason I'm not too, sure what exactly are you guys trying to do, but you're step up the game.

Speaker 1:

Basically, I'm trying to say, yeah, it's frustrating I feel like that that there was this error where we stopped. We stopped getting all those calls and and then there's something that happened where this calls are starting to come back even more, and I remember I had to put my phone number on like a don't disturb list and then I stopped getting calls, and now now it's like it doesn't matter what day and where I'm at, I'm getting a call or a text message unexpectedly, and I just don't understand how this is getting that crazy.

Speaker 2:

Though Especially with don't understand how this is getting that crazy though, especially with emails too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, emails are crazy keep getting emails.

Speaker 2:

It's like, like you guys were saying before man, I think they're all selling our information out there 100. There's no way that I, even if I put you on junk, you guys come back again with something different. Yeah, like I hate that shit yeah it is what it is, I know Wow.

Speaker 1:

Well, thank you for those tech, tech current events. Uh D hustle. Next up, we got my guide Raymond Don't call him Ray Ray with his nuggets today. Uh, so what you got lined up for us player.

Speaker 3:

All right Morning gentlemen. So, as you guys know that, um, I am newly in the ev market, and when I say ev market, I'm talking about electric vehicles. Oh, yeah, yeah, this is for anybody who has an ev or knows someone who has an ev. I found this app here. You know me on the tech hustle and I'm always trying to give you guys free stuff, so I've just plugged it in here. There's an app called plug share, so a lot of people are afraid to get evs because of, you know, mileage.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, whatever you know they're aware of the charge ad or like I don't want to be too far from the house, type stuff and so this app here I found it here.

Speaker 3:

It's called plug share, so it's pretty cool. So it kind of shows you chargers all over the country and it gives you a rating on the chargers. It tells you how many, what kind of charge report it has. It shows you pictures. What I especially like about it is you can filter it down to free chargers, because you know I'm all about the free stuff. So it's pretty cool. You can go on the website or you can download the app. It's pretty cool. So you can narrow it down. Put your city, your zip code in and it will show you chargers all over the country, your city, based on your vehicle type and, like I said, it'll tell you how much it is. Does it charge? Does it doesn't charge? And I've stumbled upon a lot of free chargers. Did you guys know Bobby, at the city of West Palm, in the garage? They have free chargers in there. Level two charging.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, actually low key. I used to go there purposely because of that. I didn't know that, yeah, know that, yeah, yeah, so and, and I think there's a limit of how long you can leave your car there, but it definitely gives you free charging plus you're on the second floor rather than being on the third.

Speaker 3:

Yes, I just stumbled upon that a couple weeks ago. So yeah, I went in there with the kids and had pizza and we were shooting the stuff and was charging the vehicle for free obviously it was. You know I had to pay for parking, but still it's five dollars on the weekends yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So and a full charge too, and a full charge, potentially in level two. So yeah, that's a good nugget yeah, I think that's bad for me you know how I treat you ev people like handicaps that's exactly how they treat fucking people got front row parking I gotta go all the way to the back and shit. Yep, like seriously yep.

Speaker 3:

So true yeah.

Speaker 1:

That was one reason why I always used to love going down there, because you are right.

Speaker 2:

I want you guys to go up in the roof, where the sun is at, where the heat is beaming and leave the regular fucking normal people inside the group.

Speaker 1:

But they don't put charges up there. Player.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, play, yeah, they need to, they need to run. Why are you gonna put it so close to a handicap like nah man y'all playing with?

Speaker 1:

me actually. It's an incentive to get an ev car, bro, like if you get mad if I park my car in the ev station without having an ev car I would.

Speaker 3:

there's a lot of articles on ev owners who are pissed at gas car people who do that why?

Speaker 2:

you guys have this luxurious parking spot. When we can For me it's an extra parking spot.

Speaker 1:

Is it an extra option for you? Huh, is it an option for you? What?

Speaker 2:

do you mean it's an option?

Speaker 1:

Meaning it's an extra option that you can park in it's another parking spot.

Speaker 2:

For me, difference is is you got EV, I got gas, that's it parking spot. For me, difference is is you got.

Speaker 3:

EV. I got gas, that's it.

Speaker 2:

There's nothing different. But at the end of the day, why is it that you guys have to park so close and then we have to park far because you got EV? So let's say there's 10 parking spots now right. And then everybody's building and building the same parking spots there, right. Then you have handicap handicap. Now you got EV, ev.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

And then you have gas, gas, gas, gas, gas. Yeah, motherfucker, y'all came late at the end. You know, y'all came late.

Speaker 3:

Y'all, y'all, y'all. You people at the end, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But for real, old jokes aside, if I'm in a rush, I am parking on that spot.

Speaker 1:

Have you done that before?

Speaker 2:

Yes, the 240, you put 240 there.

Speaker 3:

Damn right, that's crazy. I saw an article on the internet.

Speaker 2:

I am that guy.

Speaker 3:

That's funny I saw an article on the internet a couple months ago where this guy in like a big Ford F50.

Speaker 2:

In an EV parking.

Speaker 3:

You know damn well he ain't no EV, of course not, and the EV people Were so pissed off at it they were like why do? You do this and he was double parked and everything.

Speaker 1:

And he was double parked.

Speaker 2:

He was being an asshole he took two, and then you had those. That fucked it up for me, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Darwin's like I can get away with At least one parking spot, but double parking If I'm going a quick in and out and I don't want to park.

Speaker 2:

I ain't parking at your EV. Why? Because, number one, it's a parking spot. Number two y'all just came into this fucking world. That doesn't mean, you guys get top priority, that's being realistic.

Speaker 1:

That's what it is. That's what it is. It's like they just came in and you're getting the priority.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they just came in and I get top. Nah, fuck that. You've been here for years.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's hilarious Well.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's where they put the part charging thing.

Speaker 3:

Man, that's true, I never paid attention to them Until now that I have an EV.

Speaker 1:

I know you pay attention To them now. Now I do, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

You go to what's it called again Palm Beach State's outlet. Oh yeah, they're right in the front, right.

Speaker 3:

Yep Right there in front of.

Speaker 2:

Somebody understands me, why Do?

Speaker 3:

you need a store? No, he's got a park there. Yeah, yeah. Why are you in the front?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, why can't you be in the back section for a whole bunch of EVs? All you guys can get together and talk all the shit you want.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then, you know, leave the normal parking. But I don't think that's fair man.

Speaker 3:

Come on here. That's hilarious. It is what it is. It's a good nugget. Yeah, so another. Uh, free ev for you. Bobby is at the city. Uh, where upon my old job? Oh word, yep, right there, they got free level two completely free, so you don't have to pay the 31 dollars I don't I mean, but I mean, that's another topic yeah, so that's another topic, but yeah, yeah, I like it.

Speaker 2:

I like it, saving him money already.

Speaker 3:

No that's why I love this app. Like I'm always filtering it for the free stuff, so yeah, that's funny, yeah so but um yeah.

Speaker 1:

So what's next up? You got for us, raymond next one here is.

Speaker 3:

there's this website called uh gogcom, which basically stands for god gog, which stands for. Good Old Games. So basically it's a website that kind of allows you to download old classic games, and it does have new games as well. But the great thing about this website is you can download old classic games for your Windows, your Mac or Linux, and the best thing is they are DRM free, which is digital rights management free no copyright or anything like that. So if you're like a, you know in our era we grew up in with the old school games and stuff like that.

Speaker 3:

So my son's like getting into downloading games on the computer now. So there's no catch they do sell. They do sell some of the new games but you can download the old games for free, no copywriting or anything. So here's my issue with some of the new games, but you can download the old games for free, no copywriting or anything.

Speaker 2:

Here's my issue with some of these games that everybody be out there. You guys got too much fucking advertising.

Speaker 3:

True, well, maybe that's the catch.

Speaker 2:

Free stuff, no matter what. You download any game on your Apple phone or whatever, there's commercials, like you're playing a game and then you pause it and then there's a commercial.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, commercials, like you're playing the game and then you pause it and then it's a commercial. Yeah, yeah, I didn't ask for a commercial. Yeah, and now you are. Right now they're playing commercials, not just the ad, but they're playing a whole commercial.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that is lame, so wow hulu, yeah, um hulu prime.

Speaker 2:

Now we've got commercials.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, prime, you have to pay extra to not have commercials just disgusting absolutely disgusting. So yeah, that is probably. You're probably right, DeHustle, there's probably some ads in there, so. But it says you know there's no copyright or anything.

Speaker 1:

I mean, well, that's the cherry for you, and then the real behind the scene thing is that potential. You know advertising and stuff like that.

Speaker 3:

So yeah, windows, mac or Linux.

Speaker 1:

So for free, roger, that Well, well, raymond, thank you so much For those nuggets today. Really appreciate it. And yeah, download that plug, share and check out, Go or how do you call it, gogcom.

Speaker 3:

There was an NFL commentator on the what the heck is that channel for the NFL Network? Whatever one of the commentators on there To show his son that you know life is not easy. He beat his son 99 to 0 in Madden. So he said his son has to learn that life is not easy, is?

Speaker 2:

that right.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he got criticized for that.

Speaker 1:

I hope D-Hustle's not doing that with the kids. No, d-hustle's definitely doing that, I'm afraid that he's not doing that with the kiddos, he might let him score one point.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm busting ass, because at the end of the day, here's what happens with these young kids. Man, I lost one time to this kid and I never heard the end of it. The kid thought he was phenomenal. That motivated me to play him again and bust his ass. And when I bust his ass, I went right in Facts All over with him. He's talking shit.

Just to let you know the type of guy he is. Carmelo's son responds Alright, here it goes. When Melo versus LeBron and Bronny, what will be the score? I think Bron and Bronny will win. Carmelo was amused of his son's lack of faith of his odds on Kai. He goes. I'm going to remember this, but when the time comes, I hopefully uh, we have a different outcome. Shout out to those mellow over there mellow standing up and the only reason he said that is because lebron is still playing in the nba yeah, yeah it's the only reason he said that.

Speaker 2:

at the end of the day they ask him are you going to try to have your dad come out of retirement to play? He goes when Kai would convince Carmelo to come out of retirement, team up with him if he gets drafted one day, kai says I've been trying to do that, but he's been denying it all the time. When it's time to know that you don't want to be back in the game, yeah, it is what it is.
