What is celebrated in the anniversary corner?
john do you want to step into the corner with me the anniversary corner because on episode 476 on the 30th of march 2022 do you know what you did john No idea. You announced your independence four years ago.
Happy Independence Day. I always forget this is in March. I also forget the total number of years, so thank you for reminding me again. You get fireworks?
Yeah, we should get fireworks. We'll have our editor edit it.
Sent with fireworks. There you go. I just gave you the text version.
Right, right. Anyway, happy anniversary, John. I'm glad that you are still independent and things are still going okay.
That basically sums it up.
Thank you. Are there any learnings, as they say, that you would like to share with us?
Ew. Yeah, I don't know. I don't have any wisdom to impart at this time, but I'm glad I'm still here and making it work.
Me as well, and I'm sure I speak for Marco in saying that.
Yeah, you may have to speak for me a lot tonight because I'm a little bit tired because as I mentioned a couple after shows ago, I'm training for this 32 mile Manhattan walk. And what that means is taking a lot of long walks. And today's was the longest so far at 22 miles. So it's been and there was like we're trying to schedule around like, you know, Easter and spring break and stuff. And there was really no other time to record the show besides the evening of me doing a 22 mile walk that started at six in the morning. So the jokes might be a little bit rougher tonight. Sorry about that.
How many steps is that?
Today in Pedometer++, I crossed 50,000 steps for the very first time.
So it's like a day at Disney World.
Pretty much. And by the way, I'm happy to say I don't think I'm allowed to talk about it yet, but Pedometer++ has a wonderful update coming in the future. I am so pleased with this app. This is our friend underscore David Smith's app. I know what you think Pedometer++ is, is that app that you can install on your phone and see your step count. And it still is that. But what it also is is an amazing walking and hiking app on the Apple Watch. And it shows you, like, you know, the live walking or running or hiking or whatever workout on the watch with a great map. It blows away everything else I've seen. So, number one, I would say, like... You know, I know our friend underscore David Smith probably won't be as aggressive as I am about telling you all this, but this app is awesome.
What insights does John share about his independence?
And if you walk or run or hike and you want something on your Apple Watch to show you where you've gone and how far you've gone, it's a great app for that. especially that map view. Really, really good. So Pedometer++ for that. I would also say that as a little preview, I don't usually announce future products. However, I will say that a future episode of this podcast, I will be talking about another non-Apple smart athletic sports watch. It did not arrive in time. It arrived... three hours after i left my house uh for this walk but it will um hopefully in a future episode i will have more to report about that
You got to do what everyone suggested and what Underscore has done is, hey, you got two wrists.
That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to do a walk where I'm going to have the Apple Watch Ultra on one and then the new sports watch on the other and I'll compare them. And by the way, the Apple Watch Ultra doing a nine hour long walk with GPS and full workout sensing mode, but with low power mode so that always on screen is turned off. Lasted the entire time with like 40 or no, 60 percent battery left. So it'll have no problem lasting the full 32 miles.
How does Marco's training for the Manhattan walk affect the show?
Secondly, thirdly, whatever, I've lost track. I'm tired. Last night I saw this new movie called The AI Doc or How I Became an Apocalypse Optimist. It is a bit of a rough name. It also has an amazing list of interviewees. So it's basically a documentary that's just like a series of interviews with very important people in the world of AI, including Sam Altman and Dario and Daniela Amadei. So Sam Altman, of course, from OpenAI. The Amadei is from Anthropic, which is actually a sponsor of this episode.
