Transcription

Chapter 1: What new foldable phones are being compared in this episode?

0.031 - 18.473 Stephen Fennec

I've given you warning for the first time in the history of the world. It was a countdown. You actually did a countdown. What's happening here? What's wrong with you? What is happening here? Right. It's unprecedented, but I have just remembered. And look, for the people listening at home, we've gone a little bit out of order this week. We've actually recorded the private feed beforehand.

19.113 - 40.584 Stephen Fennec

And what you're about to witness probably should have been in the private feed, but we got very distracted about other things. But I got Stephen something. Oh, hang on a minute. Look. What? It's a Star Wars-y thing. Darth Maul. Who's that? Darth Maul. Very good. Yeah. There's a new show. Is there? Where did you get this from? Someone sent it to you, didn't they? Yeah. Someone sent it to you, huh?

40.964 - 66.71 Stephen Fennec

Disney. Yeah. Oh, is there a costume that goes with it? No. It's Darth Maul. There's a new... Just hold on to these for a minute. Just hold on to these for a minute. Oh, you got his lightsaber. No. Really? The double lightsaber? My one broke. Oh, my God. Wow. Where did you get this from? Put the things in. Where did you get them from? Disneystore.com.au. What? You bought them? No.

66.73 - 85.607 Stephen Fennec

Magic in the mail. That's what the sticker on the box said, magic in the mail. Did you put it in properly? Did it make a noise? Yeah. When you put it in? It should make a noise. Mate. You told me how to do it, Aya. Listen. There you go. They emailed me yesterday and said, did they arrive? And I said, they did, but they're driving me insane. I can't forget how to get them working.

86.088 - 108.756 Stephen Fennec

Did you get it working? It's not working. I got it working this morning. The battery's in it? Yeah, it was working this morning. I was lightsabering around the office. Is it in properly? Yeah, it should be. Maybe it needs a proper Jedi. Yeah, right. Oh, that was in. That's in.

109.217 - 109.317

Yeah.

113.87 - 125.087 Stephen Fennec

Please. Please. Hang on. Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take your head off.

125.107 - 127.03 Unknown

Hang on.

127.07 - 159.036 Stephen Fennec

Sorry. What's this one? What? Oh, that's Mara. Is that Mara Jade? I don't know. What the hell's going on here? What are you getting all the Star Wars stuff for? It's May the 4th week. What about, don't send it to the biggest Star Wars fan. They send it to you. Oh, man. Woo! Oh, this is Christmas come early, mate. Am I your enemy? No, no. If that's Mara, that's Mara Jade.

Chapter 2: How does Samsung's new foldable phone compare to Apple's?

1819.705 - 1843.477 Stephen Fennec

No. So this could be a – And, you know, in the seven years that Samsung has been doing it, so has Motorola and Google and others. So Android by Google has been – modified and recreated and reimagined in many ways so that things like when you are half open your screen, the top half can be a video in YouTube, for example. But not every streaming service does that.

1843.517 - 1864.457 Stephen Fennec

Like Kayo doesn't allow you to do that. So you can kind of sit your phone like a laptop. Like YouTube does. Yeah, you can sit YouTube at the top half. It automatically does that. It's good that Google has a foldable because they're the pixel. Because they do Android, so of course they can optimize Android for that. Yeah. Yeah. Wow, exciting. It's a folding war. It's going to be a war.

1864.717 - 1886.259 Stephen Fennec

The fold wars are going to start. July, August, and September. Yeah. It'll be a folding phone-a-thon. I'll give you a better one. Folding phone frenzy. Folding phone frenzy. A bit of alliteration, even though it's PH for phone, but the sound of it is the same. We're allowed it, aren't we? That's absolutely right. Folding phone frenzy. Is that the title of this episode? Oh, I like it. There we go.

1886.279 - 1902.497 Stephen Fennec

I hope I remember it. Folding phone frenzy. Folding phone frenzy. And put the surprise look on our faces. Yeah. Do you have a stock? Do you have a stock? Have you run out of stock images? I have reused a lot of... We might need to do a couple more. It'd be good if we could, if you don't mind. Yeah, sure.

1902.897 - 1921.917 Stephen Fennec

It's funny because Victoria's been looking through the Opus clips, trying to learn how to use that and stuff. So hopefully in the next few weeks we'll start getting some social clips. Wow. And she... loaded up a second show and she goes, oh, I thought it was going to be a problem because Stephen was wearing the same shirt and I went, no, it's just the covers. She was like, it's a different show.

1922.097 - 1944.421 Stephen Fennec

Continuity doesn't really matter. Nah, not for the cover image. Not for the cover image. Yeah, true. You know what I should probably do? I should probably get really clean photos of us in boring faces, smiley face, and then put them into AI so that I can ask AI to generate a surprised face expression. Ooh. I'm pretty sure that's what YouTubers are doing now. You reckon?

1944.721 - 1964.53 Stephen Fennec

Mr. Beast, there's no way they're not using AI to generate his thumbnail and cover art and stuff. Yeah. It's crazy. It's exciting. It is a bit. Anyway, a folding phone frenzy coming your way. Details at EFTM.com. And, yeah, we'll be across it. You know that. We'll be across it, folks, because that's how we are. Right here.
