Chapter 1: What are Trev's first impressions of Siri AI in iOS 27?

0.537 - 31.67 Stephen Fenech

Look, we'll unpack it in vast and immense detail in the private feed if you want to explore this topic. But well done, the Socceroos. No! Yeah, Socceroos, baby. I'll use that joke again on the private feed. Yeah, mate. Come up with something original. Stephen, congratulations. Thank you very much. On behalf of all of our listeners, our loyal, determined listeners, Grandpa Steve is here.

31.71 - 36.615 Stephen Fenech

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment I've been waiting for for so long. Grandpa Steve.

0

36.676 - 50.956 Trevor Long

Yes. It's official. I'm a grandpa. I think I'm going to be called Pop. I think it's going to be my name. Pop. Not here, you're not. Pop. But yeah, Joe's Nanny and I'm Pop. Nanny and Pop. How did you learn that part of the shebang? I don't know.

0

51.717 - 53.902 Stephen Fenech

Did Hayley say those words? Well, I don't know.

0

53.922 - 59.331 Trevor Long

Be Pop. Yeah, I think so. I don't know. You definitely don't get to choose it, that's for sure.

Chapter 2: How did the social media ban in the UK and Canada come about?

59.351 - 79.437 Trevor Long

But he's officially a grandfather, yes. I'm very proud of that. And I've got to say, it was a very emotional time. It wasn't us having our own child. It's our child having a child, which is amazing. And you know what? You take a greater appreciation in your position in the grand scheme of things.

0

79.637 - 79.878 Stephen Fenech

Yeah.

0

80.178 - 80.759 Trevor Long

You know what I mean?

0

80.779 - 80.939 Stephen Fenech

Yeah.

0

81.139 - 100.536 Trevor Long

You've raised your child to have their own child. Yeah. You are an old, old man. It is. She's only 25, Hayley. She's my youngest. That doesn't matter, mate. So my youngest has had the baby first. I didn't say anything about Hayley's action. I didn't say anything. Well, you know what? It is what it is. Good on her. God bless her. She's well. Baby's well. Baby's thriving.

101.358 - 110.871 Trevor Long

We're very proud grandparents. And she's... Hearing you say that is still blowing my mind. She's in a whole world of love.

Chapter 3: What are the announced dates for Prime Day and what should we expect?

110.892 - 122.303 Trevor Long

He's in a whole welcome to the world. It's a song by Client Liaison. Welcome to the world of our love is what it is. Did you play that on the way home from Newcastle? No, I didn't, but it resonated.

0

123.605 - 130.972 Stephen Fenech

There's a lot of love for this young, at least little kid. I know we're distracted, but have a look at Pauline's face. We're recording during the press club. She's so angry.

0

132.113 - 135.557 Trevor Long

Why wouldn't she? That press club address was riveting.

0

135.537 - 139.141 Stephen Fenech

Anyway, little Jack. Yeah, little Jack. Welcome.

0

139.422 - 152.698 Trevor Long

By the time you're hearing this, he's a week old. Yeah. He's a week old. Grandparents count weeks as well. 4,000 photos were taken on the first day. It's just massive amounts of photos. You think about it when- Apple got an alert that the iCloud needed upgrading.

152.718 - 153.199 Stephen Fenech

iCloud is full.

153.219 - 164.433 Trevor Long

They built a new data center. Yeah. Well, Google Photos in my case at the moment. Yeah. But it's funny. When my kids were born- Jacqueline's 31 now. She was born in 1995.

Chapter 4: What products are in Trev's review backlog?

164.934 - 187.486 Trevor Long

Okay. No phones. Barely – we just got the internet connected at home. Yeah. And, yeah, her album is this big. And then Aaron came along two years later. His album was this big. And then Hayley came along in 2000. Her album was – Because it was all – we had our phones and stuff, right? Well, not quite phones in 2000, but we had digital cameras.

0

187.526 - 190.85 Stephen Fenech

You didn't need to print every photo to be able to see the photo.

0

190.87 - 215.003 Trevor Long

But now, like, this young kid is, you know, most photographed in our family by a mile at the moment. Yeah. Joe's still up there with them and helping them out, you know, helping Hayley and getting – she's back home now, sort of helping to get into the routine. Yeah. She sends me a couple of pics a day, you know, an update on our little grandkid. And I jokingly call her Grandma. Hey, Grandma.

0

215.624 - 240.274 Trevor Long

And then she says, hey, Poppy. Yeah, it's nice. But you know what? It is – and I don't want to get too emotional here, but it's also like I'm looking at Jo, like I'm thinking, hang on, this is the girl I met and we got married and had our own kids and now our kids have had kids. I'm just really proud of how far we've come together.

0

240.675 - 255.343 Trevor Long

That was another part of this, seeing that look at the family we've raised and now they're going to be raising their own families. Really nice. I can understand why people say that. Everyone was saying to me, I'll wait, mate. Being a grandparent, it's great. And I can understand.

Chapter 5: How does Siri AI compare to other AI assistants?

255.383 - 258.128 Trevor Long

I now understand what they're talking about. You get it. I get it.

258.91 - 269.732 Trevor Long

So thank you for everyone who's already sent me. Have you done anything else in the last week? You know, I had to come home and do – I've been working. I've been writing and doing my podcast and coming here with you. Well, you're halfway there.

0

269.772 - 270.634 Stephen Fenech

You should be popping up today.

0

270.714 - 293.308 Trevor Long

Two days. For Thursday, Friday that I was there, I just sort of did the bare minimum on the site. And then it was the weekend, so I was good. I do it every day, and there's no grandchild of mine. Yeah, I saw you had a bit of time to engage with a few people on threads. I'm thinking, Trevor, because I don't know why. I think it's because it knows we're friends or something.

293.328 - 300.477 Trevor Long

But threads always, whenever I refresh threads, if you've put a story up or you've commented, you're at the top of my bloody threads, right?

300.497 - 301.438 Stephen Fenech

As it should be. Let's go.

301.418 - 315.699 Trevor Long

So I'm thinking, hang on, who's Trevor engaging with here? I think we discussed it on the private feed. Let's just say Trevor's back. Trevor's back. So look out. If you're on threads and you say something you don't like, look out.

315.719 - 330.523 Stephen Fenech

Well, isn't it, not to get too political, and we will get to the show, so stand by for the time code if you're watching on YouTube. That'll be down below in the comments. Isn't it funny how, like, I've been watching Husey. Have you noticed Husey?

Chapter 6: What are the new features of Siri AI and how do they work?

330.583 - 330.663 Stephen Fenech

Yes.

0

330.703 - 353.56 Trevor Long

Mate, hasn't his popularity exploded? Full political. Mate, and you know what? Because he knows, he's seen the reaction. He's gone viral with all that stuff. And, mate, his popularity is just rocketing now. I think it will – I think his comedy will take a political slant now too. He wasn't really too political before. I reckon he's found gold, mate.

0

353.6 - 375.873 Stephen Fenech

No, I don't think it needs to affect his show. I think it's just – do you know what? I think – and I get this really weirdly positive reaction, and I don't do it a lot, but if I do a video like an Instagram reel or even just a story where I swear because I'm so passionate about something, like I'm like, well, you know, that, you know. Yeah. It normally goes really well. Really? You know why?

0

375.913 - 394.47 Stephen Fenech

Because people want authenticity. They want to know that you don't just think this. You're passionate about it. You're passionate about it. Yes. Okay. I can understand the algorithm digging into that. Yeah. I think people go, that's real. He's into that. It's funny because I did one once years ago. I can't remember. I think it was...

Chapter 7: What challenges does Siri AI face in user experience?

394.45 - 416.24 Stephen Fenech

It was when there was a TikTok trend going around about – remember when you can tap to share with Apple and you share your – Yeah, yeah. And there was people on the internet saying that that was a huge security risk. And I just sat in my car because I'd seen it for the 1500th time and I went, listen, we have to stop this BS. And I was using the F word and just – The TikTok went, hello.

0

416.26 - 428.595 Stephen Fenech

It's just stupid, right? What are you doing? And I remember putting it up and – Even the boss of the sedation was like, mate, great content. I'm not going to do that content on air. But you know what?

0

429.136 - 432.239 Trevor Long

If you want to hear the blokes loose, listen to the private feed.

0

432.82 - 434.481 Stephen Fenech

I think people resonate with passion.

0

434.501 - 437.345 Trevor Long

You'll hear Trevor say the F word on the private feed.

437.425 - 438.386 Stephen Fenech

Not so much from me.

438.406 - 438.706 Trevor Long

Yeah, I know.

438.786 - 443.291 Stephen Fenech

We've done the numbers. Trevor's more the potty mouth. I'm the potty mouth. Potty mouth or passionate?

443.351 - 458.05 Trevor Long

Passionate. I'm potty-mouthed. What was the recent thing you had that went well where you swore? What was that? You're talking about the other one. No, I was thinking of the other one. Yeah. So you're going to drop a few F-bombs now in your content. Is that what you're saying or what? I'm thinking about it, yeah. No, no.

Chapter 8: How does the discussion on social media policies reflect on parenting?

458.23 - 466.981 Trevor Long

It's a different type of content. If I'm passionate about something, I will. And you won't get taken down, eh? Because it's not like adult content. No. Swearing is allowed.

0

467.122 - 478.534 Stephen Fenech

Especially on TikTok. You won't get a tap on the shoulder on TikTok? If you call someone a name. Oh. In the comments. Oh, they'll pull you up. Oh, I've been banned from TikTok. There you go. In the past. I've had to make some serious phone calls to my account back.

0

478.574 - 481.377 Trevor Long

Shaped threads haven't got the same sound as that.

0

481.397 - 490.586 Stephen Fenech

No, I don't think I've been abusive. I've just been talking down to people going like, get a life. What are you talking about, you idiot? I can't believe. How much time have you had to do that?

0

490.886 - 514.004 Trevor Long

It's a time suck. Don't you reckon? I don't read books like you do. Did you have a few casual days this week? I'm thinking I was tempted to text you and say, mate, not much on at EFTM today, eh? Is that right? Because doesn't it take time? It doesn't, mate. It's two seconds. Back in the day when I used to engage dickheads on social media, I'm thinking it used to suck hours out of my day.

514.064 - 535.481 Stephen Fenech

Well, the strength of my resolve is this. Right. I went over to Paul Murray's on Saturday night to watch the Formula One. He was just watching it by the fire. So I took a portable TV around and we watched it on KO on a portable TV and had a good night. And for some reason during the chat, he said, I'm thinking about going back on Twitter because he abandoned it as well.

536.102 - 546.61 Stephen Fenech

And I said, mate, I'll be honest with you. Once a fortnight, I think about that. Once a fortnight, I think I should go back there. So is your account still there? It's still there. And the last message is pinned.

546.63 - 551.956 Trevor Long

It says, if you're looking for me, here's all my other platforms. You just haven't engaged. Yeah. Because I'm still on it. I still share my stories and everything.

551.976 - 569.258 Stephen Fenech

I don't engage with people unless it's something. Trevor Long Accounts doesn't have anything new. But the EFTM, it's just automatically shared. I don't use it. Well, same with me. I'm just retweeting. I haven't replied to someone on Twitter. They sent out a search party for you. Three years. They weren't looking for you. And then I went, you know what?
