Hey, everybody, and welcome once again to the JMOR Tech Talk Show, where we answer questions about technology, explain the way they should work and why they don't sometimes. Well, Hey, everybody, it's John C. Morley, serial entrepreneur here. And welcome once again to another fantastic episode of the JJMOR Tech Talk Show. And it's always great to have my wonderful co-host here, Marcus, how are you doing tonight?
Marcus Hart
Hey, John, it's good to be here on another Good Friday.
John C. Morley
It is always good to be here. You know what, I don't think it could be a good Friday without the JMOR Tech Talk Show. I mean, it's become such a staple of my life that I just live for this. I live for all the content I produce. But I just love being here with my faithful listeners, podcast listeners and viewers. It just makes me feel so great that people are enjoying this content. So we have some more great content coming for this show. And by the way, we have some great guests coming up in September, we took a little bit of a hiatus with the guests with the summertime, with people going away and stuff. And just so you guys know, I read every single book cover to cover. I have like eight or nine books I haven't read yet for guests. And my policy is that I don't interview a guest until I've read the book cover to cover. I don't know too many hosts that do that Marcus.
Marcus Hart
Oh no, not at all. You are one of the few in the rare.
John C. Morley
Well, and I say if you're gonna send me the book, I'm more than happy to read it and bring you on. But speaking about bring you on, have you been following the Olympics Marcus?
Marcus Hart
From time to time? I'm not catching much but when I can, I can.
John C. Morley
I catch some glimpses. I love swimming because being a Pisces, I love swimming. I love the diving and I enjoyed watching what happened with the balance beams. I think it was amazing what it happened. And all the things that are going on. And the people that won the medals, the Olympic medals for the balance beam. I think what they did and all the things that they've been doing, Simone Biles, I have to really hand my hat off to her. Yeah, she amazingly, I mean, they're all great people. But I have to tell you, people were saying when she did this, that she do this for a PR thing. And I have to say no. The way she came back and she told the story, I mean, people just I don't know Marcus, they're always looking to scrutinize you. They don't realize the pain or the challenges you're going through. They're always going to say well, he did it for this reason, she did it for this reason, like Come off it already right.
Marcus Hart
There's some people who get very misinformed and they are wrong with their misinformation and their ignorance and really just not be sensitive or considerate.
John C. Morley
So Simone Biles, like I said, what she did, Yes, she did pull out. But I think what she did for the team, I commend her for that. The fact that she came off the team, she didn't want to cause an issue. And by doing that allowed someone else to actually get a medal which I think was great in the US side. And by doing that, she was able to show some respect her team. And also if she performed, she might have lost in it might have not gone to a US person. So I think it was great you know what she did? Because it definitely helped with the scores, and just her whole makeup and her whole attitude. And congratulations, Simone Biles on winning the bronze medal and really being able to achieve this, I think is exemplary and the fact that you didn't even expect this after the challenges you had. And the twisties. I mean, everyone has challenges when it comes to anything, whether it's athletics or whether it's life. And you're to be commended. Because what you did, and the way you commanded that balance beam, I think it just speaks volumes of the type of person you are. And I know you went through lots of challenges with your family. And I'm very sorry to hear about that. But we're all very grateful to have you representing the United States of America. I know I'm proud of having her represent us. And just her story just brings tears to my eyes.
Marcus Hart
Yes, indeed. Give her flowers now. Thank you.
John C. Morley
Yes, yes. So congratulations again to you, Simone. So the Olympic 2020 it's actually 2021. But people have been asking me, John, why is it say 2020 on the screen? Well, that's because they didn't want to spend a few billion dollars to change the 2020 to 2021 because they already planned the Olympics for 2020. And they just couldn't have it last year so that's why. So if you guys are wondering, well, no, they, they didn't make a mistake. It's just they weren't gonna spend money to redo all that. And there's a lot going on in Japan and Tokyo in the Olympics. Most people don't realize when we talk about sports, There's so much technology behind the Olympics
Marcus Hart
It's flooded with technology and amazing technology.
John C. Morley
Exactly, and the Olympic Broadcasting Service. For those of you that don't know, they had roughly more than 9500 hours of content during these games. Now, if that's not impressive enough. The games are using more than 1000 camera systems. Now, if you think that's interesting, you haven't seen anything. And 3600 microphones. 3600 microphones. I'm sure they're all wireless. But still, I bet you some of them were probably in the venues because a lot of them can't wear a microphone. So I bet a lot of them were in the venues and things like that. And also, when they went to speak, I think they probably had something there. We really didn't see it but I bet there was a mic just off camera.
Marcus Hart
And I can't even imagine somebody, the mics being in some of the sporting event areas as well. So to amplify the sound and immerse the audience in the event itself.
John C. Morley
Yes, and I have something to share about that a little bit later in the program. We're going to talk about the audience and the technology. But something I thought that was really interesting, you've heard about live heart monitors and things like that. But one of the things that they did really, it was just breathless. They use technology, Marcus, to actually monitor people's hearts when they were doing the archery competition.
Marcus Hart
Oh, wow.
John C. Morley
They were using a basically a what they call this new heart rate graphics on the broadcast of the Olympics. And so, this was amazing. It became the first sport ever to use bio-metric data on its broadcast at the Olympic games with the debut of the heart rate graphic in Tokyo. So when the person who had the arrow in their hand, they pulled it back, you've all used peloton or these other treadmills or other types of things. And now you can put your finger on it, you can get your heart rate. And if you hold it in the right place, your call takes couple seconds. And it's pretty accurate with what your heart rate is, and then it can affect the program and whatnot. Well, they show a little heart symbol on the screen. And then they actually show the beats per minute. So when you pull the bow back, arch back for the release, your heart's really pumping. And so we can see in the one graphic 112 beats per minute when you pull that bow back.
Marcus Hart
That that really reminds me of a video game where it really puts you in the place of like, what that Archer is feeling. So I think that's really impressive. And kudos to what the Olympus did to incorporate that.
John C. Morley
It's amazing, and the technology they're using to broadcast the live heart rates because not only are they transmitting it, so they can actually see it for themselves. But they're also linking that to TV, which is not a major thing. But it's still something. They're able to take it's another input. Us both being in production and video, we can understand that. And when you have more inputs for a video signal that can just muck things up a little more.
Marcus Hart
Just imagine like the extra precautions they got to take to ensure that everything is going correctly.
John C. Morley
Yeah, and then make sure to that they don't broadcast the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like maybe there's something that shouldn't be broadcasted. And so they have to do a lot of turning off microphones are turning them down and turning them up. So that's something that is interesting, but to be able to see technology for the body being used for something that can actually give us like you said a feel or a sense of the athletes. I think that's priceless.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, that is absolutely priceless.
John C. Morley
Now, if that doesn't blow your mind enough, how to get your heart pumping, no pun intended, they're using 4k cameras. They had used them before but here's the difference of this Olympics. They are using 4k cameras, they use them actually in some of the Super Bowl in the football games. They actually are doing something called a 360 degree angle view of the athletes. So they can get a pretty big glimpse in more than a bird's eye view of what the athletes doing from multiple angles and very easily. So it's pretty amazing and they have some interesting things that they're doing and what I think is great is they have something they created called the 3d Olympic tracking technology. And I want to quote them, it says the Olympics Broadcasting System said that Intel and Alibaba have teamed up to develop this new 3d athlete tracking technology, powered by artificial intelligence and computer vision.
Marcus Hart
This is definitely a positive use of artificial intelligence.
John C. Morley
Absolutely, and the other thing that's really interesting is that when they shoot an arrow or when they dive, we're always able to stop a frame. But they're not only able to stop the frame, they're able to change the angle of the frame and re-show it from there.
Marcus Hart
And that's cool. And what that does is just heightens the entertainment value that you get from wanting to watch-- It really makes it just less-- I think there was about a time you'll want to watch it, but then, you get turned off because it's just like, Oh, just Same old, same old. But now this is really immerse you in the just the whole experience.
John C. Morley
I agree with you. And I think the fact that we're able to use that for our athletes and to give us the best data, and to make sure they're healthy and things like that. I mean, we've been doing that for years to keeping make sure they're healthy and monitoring. But now we're actually making a part of the spectators experience. And they have a new type of clothing Marcus that they actually came out with, Ralph Lauren came up with it. And this new clothing that they wear, it's so Ralph Lauren clothing or Polo technology for the Olympics, is really opening some eyes. So let me tell you a little about what it does. So this clothing is really interesting because you have your, they call it RL cooling technology. And they build it for the team. They call the games of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. But again, we know it's 2021. But it's really 2020. So it's a state of the art, wearable technology, Marcus that's self-regulating temperature cooling. And it's being worked by Team USA as flagbearer when they have the Olympic Paralympic opening ceremonies and parades. And so Ralph Lauren developed this innovative system exclusively for Team USA.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, it's just like my uncle used to say, why not wear the clothing, if you can't look cool while we're at it?
John C. Morley
Exactly. So the IR cooling system is seamlessly integrated into the garment. And it disperses heat from the wear skin throughout a sophisticated device that monitors and optimizes temperature and uses the same technology to cool the world's most advanced computer systems that we know of today in data centers. The outcome, a cooling sensation that can be felt instantaneously and is long lasting, even when he is so unbearable.
Marcus Hart
Oh, I just gotta wonder, is this something that's going to hit too directly to consumers at some point?
John C. Morley
Yeah, I was just thinking about that too. Will consumers be able to buy the RL cooling clothing? I don't know, because I don't know what's the price tag is going to be. And I think that they're trying. They call it this state of the art of RL cooling. And July 14, they actually announced that they would start making this clothing available, but they haven't gotten very specific about it. So it says they made available for Team USA. But it's debuting. And I have to say that if they have this, why would they not want to do it for the rest of the world?
Marcus Hart
Yeah. Oh, really sounds like they still like the kind of beta testing it with--
John C. Morley
Their kind of beta testing it with Team USA. And I believe that if things go very well, It could have more of a future. So again, only the flagbearer is wearing the white jacket for the opening ceremony in Tokyo on the Friday. And so that was on July 23. For those who don't remember, and the parade uniform was designed by Ralph Lauren for other members of the team. And it had a navy blazer which had a US grown wool striped t shirts as a printed scarf and a stripe Bell producing used by recycling plastic from water bottles. Slim denim pants shoes and they had light of the ongoing pandemic they wanted to do that, and a mask made from us grown cotton. So the entire Ralph the rent 2020 Team USA collection is now able to be purchased on the Ralph Lauren Team USA ecommerce platform. So they have rolled it out in select Ralph Lauren brick and mortar locations only. So you can actually go to the Ralph-- It's called the Ralph Lauren Team USA ecommerce. And my question mark is going to be, how much you think those things actually cost?
Marcus Hart
Ha-ha, I'm thinking that it's going to be a little bit pricey because especially been something that's a name brand, maybe in the upwards of closer to the 500 range or more.
John C. Morley
Yeah, so remember, a lot of the people have this clothing but they focused a lot on the flagbearer. But it seems like that's the one that they're giving all the, I'm gonna say the attention to. They have something called a to say closing ceremony jeans. They're going to be just under 200 bucks. $195. You can get the Team USA closing ceremony polo shirt $125. Okay, you can get the Team USA closing ceremony jacket. You ready? You sitting down now?
Marcus Hart
Yeah, I'm saying down--
John C. Morley
For $495.
Marcus Hart
Okay. 500. Yeah, so about $500 under.
John C. Morley
Yeah. But they don't really say if it's truly cool technology. I'm saying they're not really getting into the details of it. It's saying that it's the stuff that they wear. But I mean, the one that's $500 might be I mean, they have the hat and some other things, but I don't really think this is everything the same? You know what I'm saying?
Marcus Hart
Yeah.
John C. Morley
It's talking about the closing ceremony jacket and stuff like that. And almost looks like he's an astronaut that guy. So it's the Team USA closing ceremony jacket, but then you have to get the pants too, right?
Marcus Hart
Yeah.
John C. Morley
So it's $500 for the jacket, ballpark. Oh, by the way, if that price is just a little bit, let's say higher than you want to pay, you can just put it down in for payments of $123.75 at no interest. So you have to add the $495. Of course, you got to get the pants right. Yeah, so you're sitting at $700.
Marcus Hart
That's just one outfit.
John C. Morley
That's just one outfit but it's gonna say Team USA on it. And remember, it's got recycled things-- I gotta tell you. It's a real cool, say sleek and sexy type look that I think is gonna attract a lot of people because I've always loved polo, I've been a poll guy for many years and polos kind of not changed. But with the Olympics, they did give a big change to the jacket. I mean, like the way they started adding some blue one. I mean, they really got a lot fancier and then with the little stripes on the round the let's say the cuffs and then the belt. Polo, you shouldn’t do things that crazy. They were a little bit more reserve, you know what saying?
Marcus Hart
Yeah, I'll definitely check it out. But I definitely like to email Ralph Lauren and acts like, is this the coolest system?
John C. Morley
I have to say it's not for that kind of money. I mean, it doesn't say or it's a really state. I'm thinking they still got to do a lot more work on it. And in case you're wondering, so Polo is an Italian last name. I'm not sure if you know that from Marco Polo. In 1254 to 1324, he was an Italian trader and export. We learn lots of trivia on the show, not just technology. And so you're probably asked me Hey, John, what the heck does Polo mean? If you weren't into Polo? Well, Polo was a boy's name. I remember Polo when I was in the pool, we always go Marco Polo. We go looking for the other person, close your eyes. And it was a boy's name of a Tibetan origin meaning brave wanderer. So if the Pontiac could become a Porsche, then Apollo morphed into Polo. See how that works? And so the question comes as where did Polo, like where did the brand come from? Well, what happened was many years ago back a long time ago, they would go on their horses. And they originally came up with clothing that was going to be very comfortable to wear for gentlemen while they were going to battle on the horses, and they were becoming these knights of these big staves to be very noble in society. So their clothing was not meant to be very stylish in the beginning, it was meant to be functional. But then it became more stylish. And it was really designed for basically, the origins in Russia, where the Tibetan photo meaning the ball or the ball game, and this start in the origins of Persia and it was a game that often had been associated with royalty, rich and the noble and games played were by kings and princes and by Queens in Persia. And so this is where the whole name of polo, this is where you see, people say, is the stick up is the stick down. Well, if you're buying a stick down, it's not authentic. It's gotta be up. So that was the whole thing because when--- for gentlemen, when they would go into they beyond their horses, it was the manlihood. I mean, it was like, you know, they were going to battle and they had to have something was comfortable. And they wanted some a little stylish, but I have to tell you, it's really evolved from the polo shirt that you literally leave out of your pants to the one that's tucked. I know, when I wear mine, I wear it tucked in, but I always leave it draped out a little bit. So it's still tucked in has that neat look. But it's like draped out a little bit. And back then, you know, this is something to basically-- I'm going to call a male rite of passage. And they had to do this, it was kind of something they had to do to become a man. And so this has been around for a very, very long time. And according to the Oxford Dictionary of the late antiquity, Polo was known as the Calgon in the middle Persian or the Shogun. So it was a Persian ball game. And it was an important pastime in the court of this sensation empire in 224 to 651. I wasn't quite boring yet.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, I don't think that neither one of us was.
John C. Morley
And just in case you were wondering, where did the, let's say, the horse Polo first got what introduced, the horse Polo? Let's talk about it in India. Well, Polo was introduced into India by the Muslim conquest in the 13th century. And this might have seen interesting and it was described by Sir Anthony Shirley who traveled to Persian 1613. So the first Europeans to play the game were the British tea players, grandfathers from England and who formed the first European Polo Club in 1859 thus the guys had to have something stylish, chic, sexy, and of course, very man like, but comfortable to allow them to play with the other gentlemen in style. So a lot of people don't realize the history of Polo but it really had a big history, didn't it?
Marcus Hart
Yeah, that's a huge body of history. In gives you more appreciation for the brand and the dimension of rites of passage. It seems like it was a rite of passage is even for us boys or anybody who wanted to be cool in school.
John C. Morley
It gets a little bit off topic, I'm taking a slight tangent. When I was in, I believe it was after my grammar school year, because when I was in grammar school, I went to a Parochial Grammar School, which you had to wear, I still remember this, kind of an ugly, like light blue shirt, which nobody would wear, and this gray plaid tie. And I remember, up until fourth grade, nobody could tie a tie. So we had to clip on ties, then you eventually learn how to tie a tie in seventh or eighth grade or around that time, and then you started wearing the real ties or some people never did, and they kept wearing the regular ties. I always liked the clip on ties. I'll tell you why, when you came back from gym and you only have so much time, If you're trying to do that this time, you're still learning as a boy to try to do this, you would never be on time for your class. So I just put that clip, you're done and that's it. And I see other people that have the other ties. I was like, I don't want to deal with that. Like I don't even bother. But you're right, when I got into-- When I was in grammar school, um, I was very into Polo outside of the classroom. And that would be the polo shirts, Polo button downs. It still had the logo and even today, Marcus, I'm still like, what was it have this logo, it has that logo. And I think it's not just the logo that I'm attracted to. It's the feel of the clothing. So yes, logo. It's the quality of the clothing. It's the brand. Yes, it's kind of cool looking, but you've gotten very passionate about living your life in Polo. And I remember even having a polo bathing suit and then you have the longer Polo bathing suit. I was a polo. Well, those aren't on sale this week. Oh, that's okay. I'll take one and says I want the Polo. And it kind of like made your life and it was a passage because everything you did and then I remember going somewhere and you'd have the pants and you'd wear something and first of all you wear a polo pair like, how you got a polo belt? And if you went somewhere where the polo-- Oh my god, it's like you showed up naked. You don't have a polo shirt on? I just threw this Izod on? Oh my gosh, you're wearing it? Why is that still respectable? You have it? No, we're like, Polo.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, I heard that a lot too when I tried out Izod shirt.
John C. Morley
It's Izod Lacoste. But it didn't have the same ring to it as Ralph Lauren Polo. And when you go to their stores, they're trying to help you as much as they can. And they walk around, they kind of how can we help you? And they're just so like, and they're dressed in all the Polo clothes. So it's like, oh, did you want to wear something like I'm wearing or did you want to try something like this? I've ever even going to get a polo jacket. The light windbreakers and I was like, I like that. It's a polo. I like the way it feels. I like Polo. I also like Tommy Hilfiger, Tommy Hilfiger. Those were the two that I always stuck to. Alright, but getting off topic. So what I tried to tell you to bipolar, but anyway, it was something that I enjoyed. But I really do believe in Polo a lot but and they're not paying us anything to say this, By the way. I'm really bringing them up because I'm really impressed with what they're doing for the Olympics. That's what brought this whole caveat up. So they're the only ones I know they're doing that and maybe Hey, Polo, if you want to send me a jacket, send it to me, I'll be happy to wear it on maybe those cool piece of clothing. I would love to wear it. And do an unboxing or review on it. It is technology, It doesn't have to have a plug, kind of batteries it can use. They really tell us what kind of technology, it uses a device. So I got to research more about that. Marcus, I'm not gonna let that rest. Yeah, that'd be more about technology. If you noticed in this 2020 or 2021 Olympics where we want to call it there are no real spectators from other countries, just people from Japan. So they didn't want any. And so how do you think they handle all the cleaning up of the javelins? And all the other things they have to do? That's a lot of work for people, cleaning up the field-- collecting the javelins or getting things ready. How do they do that? Well, they have an Olympic robots. And these robots, Miraitowa and Someity were actually supposed to be in there by Toyota. And they were actually designed to be the mascots and the welcome agents for Tokyo Japan's 2020 2021 Summer Olympic Games. But they decided to put them to other use, which was to help with maintaining things that are needed for the athletes to provide them more support. And then of course, they have other robots that do the cleaning up of the fields and stuff like that. So that's pretty amazing. Marcus, I know when I play golf, and there's a device that goes and picks up all the balls, I'm like, Oh, that's pretty cool.
Marcus Hart
The robots are just becoming more and more a part of our culture. And before long, you're going to see them like just walking down the street by yourself.
John C. Morley
Yeah, we just got to make sure that it stays in check and then if we want the orange one and they suddenly want the orange one too. We can have like, another population.
Marcus Hart
No, yeah.
John C. Morley
Well, we know they're not going to use the restroom, they are going to use the gas station. We know that so that's gonna be their beverage or their snack to get an oil. They might like to listen to music. Who knows? Because they're getting programmed artificial intelligence. The robot could want things. I mean, that could be a problem.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, at some point, at some point,
John C. Morley
We all saw that movie, right where the seniors had the robots. And they had the big problem where they suddenly, they had this big beacon that got controlled, and it blasted out this message to control the robots for them to become bad. And it kept everybody prisoner. And once yearly, she just kept praying. And she kept praying, he was to be fine. And magically, everything was okay, and how can I help you? How may I serve you? I just like, Oh, thank you. So what we think about this stuff. And I don't want to scare people. But these things are possible. And I want to talk about something else real quick, which is kind of a little off the cuff. We talk about things because our show has some format, but we always seem to go into things that we never know about. We're going to talk about until it happens. I was realizing that in our world, there are technologies out there. Now, of course, I'm not going to educate people on how to do this, because I don't want to cause an underground. But I don't you realize how easy it is to make a jamming device. And there are companies out there, Marcus, again, I'm not here to give information on them. But they sell these devices that are under 10 or $15. And you go get their boards that are open source, you download their code and they have these disclaimers that say you know, don't use this as a disclaimer, because you can really muck some serious stuff up, you can jam an entire network with a little $10. board.
Marcus Hart
Yeah.
John C. Morley
And they always say they're being used for r&d. But in some countries, Marcus, it's illegal to build a jamming device.
Marcus Hart
Absolutely.
John C. Morley
Absolutely legal. And there's another one out there. I couldn't believe this. It was like an underground but it was on YouTube. And I was like, how do you allow this? And they're telling people that we're not going to tell you how to do it. But they're basically telling you because they're giving you the name, and they're giving you their other website, YouTube's not blocking them. And you know what? They're building something to hack a Wi Fi network. Now I was like, really? Download your own hack kit. You can pick what you wanted to play. But of course, don't do this on a network that you don't have permission to hack.
Marcus Hart
In other words, do it. Just don't say I told you.
John C. Morley
Yeah, make sure you have permission because you can get in some serious trouble for this. I mean, you launch this thing, Marcus, and in literally five minutes or less, you could be jamming everything in your area. Imagine doing that to a major network, or a bank
Marcus Hart
Or a hospital.
John C. Morley
or a hospital or the Olympics?
Marcus Hart
Oh, yeah, this is terrible.
John C. Morley
So that's a challenge. So Japan also has some very other interesting things. I've never been to Japan, they have something that you might have heard of before. It's called the vending machine. Now we have them too in our country, which is no surprise, but they have vending machines from us everything you want to think about. So we have vending machines for the standard things that you and I would want to go by every day. You can also go by your cell phone from a vending machine. We've seen that in airports. It's no big deal. But they have a vending machine that will literally make cotton candy while you wait.
Marcus Hart
Oh, wow.
John C. Morley
And you can watch it. Now we all know they have dipping dots in the US, which is okay. You get paid for it. I think you get tired though, of those dots. Because I don't know, it's not like real ice cream, is it?
Marcus Hart
No, it's not.
John C. Morley
I like to pay to watch it. Or I remember going to the movie theater. And I wanted this good humor bar. And I wasn't really in the mood for the ice cream as much I wanted to see how the technology went down, open the freezer back down caused an air suction just enough not to damage it, pull it up, lightly drop it down and not damage it by using air suction to be the thing that holds it to the-- That was pretty cool.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, those moments to just be immersed in those experiences, it really satisfies you a lot more than just be able to just pop it in and get it.
John C. Morley
And I think you know that's what we've talked about this before. You know people don't pay money for a product or service. I don't even know this they don't know. They pay money for a solution or for an experience. That's really what it's about. Well, I went through this machine and I paid X dollars or went to this restaurant and-- no, you didn't pay $50, $6 for dinner, you paid for the food, but you also pay for the ambience for the experience for the meat, you paid for all that. So they have machines in Japan that you can go and like get frozen food out of. I mean that's no big deal. They have things where you can get fruit from a machine. I don't like the idea of getting fruit from a machine. I remember going somewhere and they had sandwiches in the machine. I was a little leery about doing that.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, you got to be careful with like expiration dates and proper cooling and so these things--
John C. Morley
So they also have vending machines that will let you buy your scratch off tickets.
Marcus Hart
That's very common in most states,
John C. Morley
So they have something else that's really popular. It's called the polka dot Coca Cola vending machine.
Marcus Hart
I wonder what that does.
John C. Morley
Well, now it's just a regular machine. It's called [sp]Yayoi konkola Cistiana, don't ask me what that means. But the way they display the items in there like the sodas, the other kinds of beverages that we don't have here in the US, very enticing. They have a Pikachu vending machine. They have an ice cream vending machine which that's not, that crazy. They have a toy dispenser [sp] gashapon machine. Okay, so you get your souvenirs. You get your souvenirs from the machine. I guess that's saving people a lot of staff. They have one I think is interesting is called the Buddhist amulet vending machine. And another one, when it gets wet outside?
Marcus Hart
Poncho.
John C. Morley
No, they probably have that too. They have the umbrella vending machine.
Marcus Hart
Oh, wow. Okay,
John C. Morley
And it's a circle looks almost like a missile, it's going to take off, you put your money in and it just basically moves with it. And you can just unlock one of the umbrellas and take it out.
Marcus Hart
Nice. Yeah, so a lot of hands off.
John C. Morley
They have an underwear vending machine.
Marcus Hart
That's useful.
John C. Morley
I mean, from a vending machine, I guess. And they'll the night cigarette vending machine, which we've had we kind of stopped that. They have unique soft drink vending machines. So it's not just about the machine but it's also about the products they're putting in these machines. And I'm not you know this if you've ever gone to Disney before. I'm not a soda drinkers, but I wanted to taste different things when I went in there and they have some of the worst beverages that you ever want to taste. And you always take a little sip because I used to take a lot of-- taste. Oh, what that is? That's a something, something. I was like, No, I don't want to taste that. And after I was tasting a couple and then I went taste another. Okay. I don't think I want any more of that. Let me just get some plain soda just. And I don't know who's coming up with the idea Marcus to make these products. I mean, when something makes you want to vomit. That's literally what happened when I was like, Okay, I gotta walk away from the machine now. I kind of walk away, just need some water. So if you don't believe me, you could go to the cooling station it's in, I believe it's in Epcot, experimental prototype community of tomorrow. There's like a cave you can go into. I think it's right behind Spaceship Earth if I remember correctly. And you can go in there and literally you can get a beverage or you can get samples of the beverages a second bite stung by Coca Cola. So the products that they mark in other countries markets they're different. What sells there won't sell here.
Marcus Hart
No, definitely not.
John C. Morley
They have a one time machine too, one we want to call it. It literally puts the ball down puts the thing in makes the noodles for you while you're watching. And you can have a fresh soup from the machine.
Marcus Hart
Wow. That's just really useful as well.
John C. Morley
I hate to see what that machine costs. But what they're doing the market says they're getting rid of labor.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, that's quite a lot of automation going on there.
John C. Morley
A lot of automation. So there is no shortage in not only the technology of types of vending machines but the products and varieties that they put in these machines. Google, something interesting happening is dark mode is coming for the Google Maps for iPhone. You'll be able to change from day to night, something people have been asking for. And so that's gonna be coming up soon, but just for the iPhone. To me, that doesn't appeal anymore? Because I don't know.
Marcus Hart
No. I mean, this is kind of past due on this. I'm not sure why they waited so long to even like, make this mode available.
John C. Morley
It's very easy to do when you have it your car and you have it on lots of things. You have it on your phone.
Marcus Hart
You already have it on your phone. Yeah.
John C. Morley
You have it on your phone, but you don't have it in the maps. You don't have any Google Maps.
Marcus Hart
Exactly.
John C. Morley
So they're gonna make it a night mode. I don't know, I don't think it's worth a big hurrah. But they are doing it. So in case you were wondering, it's coming out. And so there's something that leaked, it leaked out on the Google online-- got announced by error, they claim Google's online store now unannounced nest security product appeared. So Google has leaked some unannounced nest security cameras directly to its online store. Now, this isn't the first time that Google launched a new nest device, and pop. So this is not the first time they've done anything like this. Actually, I should say it's not the first time they've done it. But Google is basically I think, gonna be coming out with a new nest device. I think that's what we're gonna say. Google has leaked this information, its own online store. And Google confirmed in January that it would launch a new line of security cameras this year, and appears at the company store has just revealed what's on the way. So the new devices include a battery operated indoor outdoor combo, Nest Cam, a reflector Nest Cam, indoor wired Nest Cam, and a battery powered nest doorbell.
Marcus Hart
Do you think they might be a little bit worried about who's gonna buy and worried about it? Are they going to measure it to their competitors?
John C. Morley
I think so. But something interesting I found is that when I tried to click on the More Info button, and the buy links for these devices, the site took us back to the main Google stores homepage. So I'm thinking, did they do this intentionally to get some--? because Google's not stupid. And make it purpose just to kind of see what's going to happen and people clicking on it or did they intentionally screw up? I think it's the first thing, I don't think they intentionally screwed up.
Marcus Hart
It seems like a combination of the two. And like you said, Google's not stupid. And they're big data collectors so they know, a story like this is going to get them PR, free PR free, free market and free data collection on who's going to be interested?
John C. Morley
Yeah, we're just gonna have to keep an eye. I mean, I think to be honest, I think Google's getting involved in so many things, Marcus. I was reading some other things today that they're looking to actually pay people money for certain things that they're doing online. So, I mean, it's just interesting that they're like changing. I just wish they would stay in the business that they're in with their information, they're in search, like, stay in your own nest, really seriously, no pun intended. I feel like they just keep going-- they remind me like that big company, start with a C, who I'll never do business with again. They basically just buy companies up left and right. And they don't care about how well they work. They just care about how much money is made.
Marcus Hart
That's true, and some of their smaller holdings, you don't see any innovation going on. They become stagnant after a while, and you go to somebody sites, they look the same as they did when they first purchased them. For example, maybe I should even go there, but--
John C. Morley
That's right.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, but if you look at their business productivity services, the site looks to same, they haven't done anything.
John C. Morley
It does and you know what, they're also doing-- as they give you this thing, most of y'all know this, but if you want to, like let's say, use an automation program and you want to use Google's address service, so that like when you put in a form, it automatically finds it, it gives you the location and converts it to the tags. They let you have 10,000 free a month, but you have to sign up for an account that's free and put your credit card in before you can use it when you reach 10,000 they start billing it per month. I don't know, it's just a little wonky If you ask me. But some other interesting things are happening. We always talk about people's rights and about doing the correct thing. It's morally right And also making sure that manufacturers don't stumble on people or step on their feet for anything. I mean, nobody should be discriminated for race, religion, sexual orientation, color, creed, anything they shouldn't. And that's what kind of brought this to my eyes. Apple has been unfortunately caught in enabling government censorship of the LGBTQ community. And I believe that's the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and those a plus on what the plus is content, most directly 1377 document cases of the app access restriction in 152 app stores around the world are reported by nine to five Mac. That is just sickening.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, that is a weird in you, you would think it'd be the other way around where they're censoring people who are attacking that community. But instead, they're actually enabling censorship.
John C. Morley
They don't want it to go. And I think the reason is that they don't want that to get a bigger pie. See, I think what I've learned in the market research I've done for lots of things, in these different markets, there's obviously different economies. The LGBTQ community has a lot of money.
Marcus Hart
Oh, yeah.
John C. Morley
And I think what they're afraid is that if it gets what it needs, it might overpower the other communities. I don't think that's going to happen. But I do think it's going to get its fair shot and I think there's people that are just, I don't use the word racist, but I guess will be the word homophobic I guess is the word for this. I guess that's kind of the same thing. It's very similar to what they talked about the guy on the boat, you know, don't talk about people by race by color. And are you prejudice? Well, what's that grandpa? It's like, well, I don't know. It's when you think differently about something, Your friend Tommy, Is he black, Is he white? What's his nationality? I don't know. Grandpa, I never really think about that. Is he having the same color as you? Well, yeah, it has a different color skin. Well, what color is it? I think it's black or it's like a blazer? Okay, well, those How does that make you feel? It doesn’t make me feel anything, Tommy is just my friend. You see, I don't know, my grandfather and your father, if he heard that he'd be really upset with you. Yeah, Grandpa, but why? I mean, all I'm doing is being a friend with him. Yeah, but you're being friends with that type. What do you mean that type? Aren't you stereotyping, grandpa? I mean, Aren't you the one that's really being prejudiced? I don't want to talk about this anymore. And I think the same thing is happening here, Marcus, but it's not come out of the closet as much. Right. And I think what I'm starting to see is it is starting to breach more. People are getting more confidence to do this. And so as that's happening, I think other people are getting nervous because now they're doing things that are against that community. And when you do that, I always say this Marcus, regardless of what it is, was the Muslim, the gay, White, Black doesn't matter what community it is, if you have a karma to go against that community, it's gonna come back and bite you in the rear end.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, it's gonna be more than just bad PR for you. It's going to be continuous onslaught against your company and your reputation. So sometimes it can be very repairable, especially with such a very powerful community as this one.
John C. Morley
Exactly. And I mean, some of these apps, they were blocking-- apparently when I was reading, they're blocking very, let's say, respectable newer dating apps. If you've ever used dating apps, not to get to that but they're very cheesy and they're very bad. And they're only after one thing and this is a G show. But the thing is uh, I feel that a lot of them are trying to cross the market because they're looking for the money but then some don't put the reputation just like the banks, Marcus. Whether we're talking about the seed bank, the big bank with the D. I'm just gonna be a first letters because you know, I'm talking about. The bank with the P, the bank with the B or the bank with the M, all these big guys or the F bank, All the banks don't want to even grant businesses like this a merchant account. Yeah. And I think that's just despicable. But what they say, the reason I hear that they don't want to do it is, they claim that every business has a risk. And if something goes south with that business, they're not willing to say that they helped an LGBTQ business get a loan. What if a straight business defaulted? Well, but that's okay. That's a risk. Well, what's the difference? Well, we don't want to be in the news, because that just could like, give our company a bad reputation. That's terrible, Marcus.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, it's terrible.
John C. Morley
I mean, it happened with several of the, again, still keeping the G show, but it happened with several of the porn stores we read in the stories many, many years ago, in front page of the news. They couldn't even get a bank account to get the money. Now, they weren't doing anything really wrong. They were just producing adult video and pictures, nothing else. And so the bank frowned upon that because of things that happened 20, 30 or 40 years ago. They literally close people's bank accounts. What are they thinking, Marcus?
Marcus Hart
Okay, it's a really tough look and it really makes us look bad as Americans to know that this type of stuff is going on. And it hasn't been reversed or push back against enough to where we're stopped. Even with some of the gambling businesses, they can get loans or get good bank accounts. So, it's really discriminatory out there. It is really, really bad.
John C. Morley
It's very bad. And one of my friends had said something interesting, He said, they need a swift kick in the rear, but my other friends, something said, he says, He says, I think what I really need to do, or someone else needs to do when it's nice is they need to go and rip them a new one. And I was like, well, that's a little script. He's like, Yeah, but that's how I feel. I said, I get it, but you can't put your anger against it. You need to handle this in a diplomatic way. Because see, if you do that, you're going to be playing into their hands. What happens when the little kid on the playground? I'm sure we've all had this, they pick on you, or you were the kid that picked on someone else. What happens when they pick on you and they press your buttons? Right? What happens? You get upset and you try to retaliate or you fight back or you get in trouble? And you're egging them on? And they keep doing it? What do you need to do? Ignore them, Ignore them, because when you ignore them, they will go away, they will see that they're not bothering you. And I think the same things happening here, whether it's the gambling, the LGBTQ, people are just looking for something so they can get on board. I know people that they literally just want to find some way to harm somebody's business, regardless of what it is, they try to pull dirt on them. And what they try to do is find things that are not like other businesses. So they're not do anything illegal, but they try to find something that makes them different. And I think Marcus, one of the greatest things that America is the right to be different. I've said this many times on my own streams that I do on LinkedIn and whatnot, is that if you are not harming yourself or harming another person, that is success. You have no right. And I say a phrase, which I'm going to share online for our viewers. And this is a great phrase to use, large sums of money come to me easily and quickly in increasing amounts from multiple sources on a continuous basis. Now, listen to the last part, for the good of all that I get to keep. You see, you don't want to be making money if it's gonna harm or hurt somebody. There's plenty of money out there for everybody. And so if you understand that, and you believe that and you also don't try to use might hurt somebody or bribe somebody, you see, that that's the difference. There's so many people that use it as a tool but they don't respect the rest of their life. What do you think about that, Marcus?
Marcus Hart
It is so true. And just that affirmation that you put out there, when used properly, you can manifest just money that will definitely be used to good use. And I think people, many people should adopt that.
John C. Morley
I say that phrase all the time and it can become part of you, but it doesn't happen in 24 hours. You have to make it part of you and you have to put energy for it. People say, oh, John, I'm in debt. I don't have any money. I'm like, Okay, I get it. So what you're doing is you're telling the universe and you know, I do a lot of motivational stuff. What you're doing is you're telling the universe that you want more debt. Okay, here we go more get for you. Just for you. You asked for it. I'm sorry. It just for you. Well, I didn't want it. Well, you just told the universe more want more debt. No, I didn't. You said I'm in debt. You just kept talking about debt. What you should be talking about is a payment plan to get out of it. And then the fact that you already out of it, or the fact that you're already clear the fact that you already abundant. Oh, well, how do I think like that, and I end with this is that, How do I think like that if I don't have any money? And I said this people, one of the best things you can do is to act as if. Well, John had a why spend millions of dollars if I don't have it? I get you, I hear you, I know what you're talking about. So I tell people to play. Playing is very powerful. When we were kids, we played one of my most popular videos that I did for my motivational was called Play Like You're a Kid. And it's actually on John C. Morley, serial entrepreneur YouTube channel. And there was a bubbles, and we just took bubbles, and I said, you have to play like you're a kid. And if you do that, you'll get the goals like you did when you were a kid. You got everything you want of your young girls, right? So why did it change when you got older, because you created those belief systems where you started to allow other people to form in those belief systems to program you to what you don't want. And every time you don't say something and you accept something, your brain commits it. That's what if somebody ever says to me, says John, I don't think I had this-- Well, John, you're not worth that amount of money. I said, I appreciate your opinion. And I understand it might be out of your budget. That's your opinion. And I also have lots of clients that are willing to pay this and more, because they actually value the services that I provide to them. So I don't want to waste any more your time, goodbye. So you have to have that attitude, Marcus, it's not being arrogant. It's just saying you don't want to take any BS. And so the thing what I'm telling you about act is if I tell people to-- you can get GNU cash, you could use any free cash-- GNU Cash is a free program, you can download online, it's an open source permanent, you can download it for free. And you could put in money in there. One of the magazines I subscribed to many years ago was called the ROB report. Now it's a they're not paying anything to say this. But ROB report is a very prestigious magazine that has all the higher end things you ever could want and buy. And doesn't matter what you ever get just look at your magazine, or what have you that you have. And so look at those things, but then create money in the bank account. What do you want to get paid? What are you getting paid now? Well, what would you like to see in your bank account? And what day would you like to get paid? On Friday, Go in there. Put that check in? What is it, 5000, is it 12000? What do you want to see in your bank account? What do you want realistically? Put that as a deposit, you got paid. Well, John, I can't go the bank and cash it. No, you can't. But you can still play with it be with me. Well, I don't get how it's gonna help me. Just chill for a minute. Okay, just chill. So now what I want you to do is-- I want you to find those things, do you want to massage. Go find when the best massage is in your town, and find out what it costs. And put that on your calendar and schedule. Now I want you to figure out how to spend.
John C. Morley
Let's say, you spend $100 a day I want you to spend $1,000 a day on things that you're going to like and enjoy. And I want you to enjoy the process. John, this is crazy. Just do it for 30 days. People do this and I'm like, why didn't get the million dollars but I take my bank account increased. Yes, it will continue to increase. You see when you act from within abundance is not having money. People think abundance is having money. And that means it's not. Abundance comes from within. And so when abundance have come within your body, And you can say yes, I'm abundant. I'm acting as if I'm abundant. I can buy whatever I want. I like it's the act of going to buy something. It's not the transaction of the cash or making the transaction, that's not it. You have to feel rich. So looking at that accounting, it is my bank account. The other thing I tell people to do is to go get download the law of universe check and write yourself a check. I did that the first one was the greatest thing I ever did. And I wrote a date on the check, they can't cash it, but it's a check that you put in your wallet. So these are all things that can help you. So if you act as if you have it and you believe your mind, you remember the famous story of, Marcus, of the famous basketball player who practice every single day. And several of them practice every single day, I should say, and then the other player didn't practice every day. He practiced in his mind. But you know something? He was just as good if not better than the people that practice every day. Why was that? Well, because he was firing the same neurons in his brain. And that's what happened, you create more neuro-plasticity. But there is a very good law, you might know the law, and I'm just going to share it with you real quick. And that'll be our last topic. We weren't even planning on talking about this today. So there is a rule, you might have heard of it. And it is called neurons that fire together. Okay, you might have heard this, wire together. And it's basically called the Hebes law. And he actually says, and I'll quote it, cells that fire together, wire together. So two cells or systems of cells are repeatedly active at the same time will tend to become more associated. So when you keep doing things, like what I'm sharing with you, about your brain, about your body, and you keep doing things like this, other good things are gonna start to happen. And you know, what's really gonna happen when you do this? Your reticular activating system, which is the fight or flight mechanism, it was never designed for success. It's going to start becoming tuned to things and opportunities than to draw more abundance in your life. I like a white car. What's your favorite color, Marcus?
Marcus Hart
I'm starting to light gray now.
John C. Morley
If I asked you, there's a lot of great cars on the road, I bet you tell me there's a lot of great cars aren't there?
Marcus Hart
Yeah, I will tell you that.
John C. Morley
There's a lot. Well, I'm gonna tell you, there's more white cars. We're not really right or wrong. Because it's our perception. And I'm seeing more cars because I'm focusing on them. That's what you're missing your goals in life. It's because you're so focused on debt, or you're so focused on this, and you don't see the potential. So if you want to become abundant, don't worry about the money outside you, worry about becoming abundant inside yourself and acting as if and also being grateful for every little freaking penny that you get. That's the key, Marcus.
Marcus Hart
I love it. John. You definitely put that out there and just the correct way for people to receive it, I think people are going to run with that and just really take off though.
John C. Morley
Yeah, and remember that thing that we said before that little phrase. And that is large sums of money come to me easily and quickly, in increasing amounts from multiple sources on a continuous basis for the good of all that I get to keep
Marcus Hart
If you guys are listening, make sure you play that one back. And I'm definitely going to make sure I play it back so I have written down.
John C. Morley
You want to do that. And it will help you I can't tell you so much. I know we're just about out of time here. So I want to tell you that if you have an idea for a show, go over to jmor.com, let us know again, it must be educational, it can't be a sales pitch. If you have a product you'd like a stone box, let us know. Again, if you have a product and you want me to make your lemons out of lemonade, don't expect it because I'm gonna expose it for the true truth that it is. We had some products this week that got sent to us. And I told them that we're going to tell them the truth. And they're like, and I give things a true score. I don't give anything of 10, Marcus. I gave a review for a light called coast light. And it was a LED light that I was able to stick to my ceiling, just literally my metal ceiling in the office. And it had a couple modes on it. And it was like under 30 bucks. And this light came with batteries. And it was 360 rotational and it could stick to the ceiling and it could go reverse and it was just such a great light and it come with batteries. You know what I gave that? I didn't give it a 10, I gave it a 9.5. It was so great and have batteries. I wanted one more thing that they didn't do. I wanted to tell me how many minutes and hours I had left on the battery in there. I want an LED screen to tell me how many minutes and hours I had left on my battery. I would love to do a rechargeable battery.
Marcus Hart
Yeah, that would have made a difference.
John C. Morley
So that's what gets a 10, so things don't get a 10 with me. So I hope you guys have enjoyed this episode. We need to bring this Friday to a close. We'll be here all night, Marcus. So I'll say goodbye to everyone, have yourself a very safe, healthy, happy weekend. And remember, the change that you want in your life will happen. Where you are today is because of what you did yesterday. If you want tomorrow to be better change your thoughts today and I promise you, you'll have a greater life tomorrow. And we'll be back. Of course, you know, next Friday night, same time. And also our pod is tomorrow, right? What time is our pod, at 10 o'clock? 10 o'clock, you can watch our audio. But of course, if you missed any of the episodes, feel free to go back to jmor.com. And after every episode within seven days, we usually transcribe the entire show. So hey, John, this is so much information. I know. Well, we're trying to make our site ADA compliant. And we're also making it easier so that Google can find us. And so you can go back and actually read the parts of the show. It's broken dow
