What is discussed at the start of this section?
Catch you guys next week in April. Peace.
What are the hosts' thoughts on the Super Mario Galaxy movie?
Did you guys hear that the Super Mario Galaxy movie is bad?
Yeah. Really?
Yeah. Yeah, because it's preying on your nostalgia. It's not good. The first one was good. Yeah, yeah. Are you excited for Backyard Baseball? Of course. BYB.
Is it out yet? We weren't recording.
April Fool's. My stomach actually dropped because I was like, I have a flight. Don't do this to me. Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of The Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And it's April. Finally. We finally got to April.
I never have to hear Tarch again.
That's maybe not true.
I hope it is.
We'll see in about 12 months. But as of the day of recording, it's actually April Fool's Day, so happy April Fool's Day to those who celebrate. We actually dropped videos today that I thought were really fun. You can go back and watch them, and they still have actually some value outside of April Fool's Day. I'll put it that way. But in today's episode, we have a eulogy for a deceased product. We have Google allowing you to change your username on Gmail, which is interesting. Some smart glasses from another new company. A Pixel 9. I mean, 10. I mean, 11 leak. That's a weird way to say Pixel 8.
I mean 7.
Really brand new stuff. And we're also going to name our top five apps of all time. I have my Mount Rushmore and then some honorable mentions. I've got to pick one for my honorable mentions to graduate to a top five. I will do that mentally at some point during this podcast.
Yeah, right now I only have four. I'm just going to let the fifth one come to me.
That's a good idea. I like that.
Organic.
What if we overlap? What if we're going to overlap? That's fine. We don't have to agree on our top five, but we're bringing it to the table. All right. Probably for the comments to debate how wrong we are or who has the hottest takes.
Always.
The coldest takes.
What product eulogy is mentioned in today's episode?
Anyway, does anybody have a... Did they even test this for this week?
Oh, boy, do I. They do. So... Recently, I have been trying to get into my PayPal account because I haven't used it in so long that the last time I used it, I had a different phone number. So I go to log in. It's over. Yeah, it's a wrap. And they're like, hey, we just sent you a code, a six digit code. And I'm like, to what? Like, I don't have that number anymore. So fast forward three days and multiple customer service reps later, they were finally able to get me to PayPal. reset my password with my email after but it makes no sense because the whole time I call they have you like first with the little AI robot thing verify who you are not only with the phone number but with your last four the social so I should be able to just change my
phone number right from there with the ai like just let me do it they know it's me but they refuse to do it to the point that they had to do like a crazy reset on their side so that i couldn't log in for 24 hours or attempt to log in or they would think it was a security thing and then after 24 hours i had to call back and get someone else on the phone and then they could be like oh yeah now we can do like a hard reset on your password i say all this to say Phone number two factor is stupid. There are apps for this. We've solved this problem. Stop being lazy. PayPal's one of the biggest companies and they're still using phone number two factor. And it was just so frustrating, so annoying.
Adam famously made a video on Android Authority.
What are the top five apps of all time according to the hosts?
Don't trigger me, David. A long time ago called that we should get rid of phone numbers and people are very angry.
People made great points as to why we should.
You should not have gotten rid of your phone number and none of this would have ever happened. That's fair. Well, if you just use pass keys, this would not be a problem.
Use Authenticator app. PSA. PSA. Then you'll never have to test that process in your life. Alrighty. Okay, so this week, we made two different shorts so far. And I say so far because it might keep going. But the idea was kind of fun.
