Geoff 0:00
Hi. And welcome back to another episode of Toast & Roast. I'm your co host, Jeff. And as always, I'm here with the Georgie. Georgie, Georgie. So we both realized that you didn't even talk about the earplugs because they interrupt. Yeah, so yeah. What's, what's this fancy earplugs?
Georgie 0:32
Yeah. Jeff said he hadn't seen them on social media because he's not really on social media. I mean, they're all dancing guys.
Geoff 0:40
I don't think I actually get ads for earplugs because I don't really, you're
Georgie 0:49
not targeting blogs. Yeah, maybe people that I followed was like looking at it. And then I got, I got an ad for them. So one of my colleagues was telling me about them. And yeah, they actually look nice. So they're not your fucking little foam shit that you buy from the chemist or the pharmacy.
Geoff 1:08
They look like some regulate earphone buds. Yeah, but no sound will come through them.
Georgie 1:19
For anyone. So I have. So they have like, these really funky, colorful designs. And to some people, it looks like almost like you have an earring in your ear because you just see a colored circle in your ear. So I bought I had a colleague who bought a couple of them was telling me about them. And I was like, Okay, I'll give it a go. So I bought the experience ones which are for like concerts and stuff. And then I bought the quiet ones which are for like, you just want to, you know, just block out regular sound or your you can hear noise through your walls, you've got your hotel room, or whatever you might be traveling. And I found the experience ones to be very good for concerts like, I can clearly hear the music because concerts are really loud. But I found them just a little it's like a little bit hard to have a conversation with the person like next to you. But I mean, yeah, if you're listening to a concert, you might not always be having conversations you might just be paying attention to
Geoff 2:23
is it's like, why why do people go to go to dance clubs to as a date when you can't converse with them cuz
Georgie 2:34
you just look at them and you point and you smile and you move up and down. That's what
Geoff 2:42
it's like the point of going to a dance club for a date is to not audibly audibly speak, but speak with body movement, and that's just not my vibe. I
Georgie 2:53
don't know, I wouldn't do it for like a first date. Yeah. I'm also like, more into, like getting to know someone like casually like a casual setting for a day rather than Hey, let's go out and go Yes, please. with lights and music
Geoff 3:10
and shit. You could say that a movie is also horrible. First
Georgie 3:14
it is I buy also. But still, it's like you have there's no interaction you have to pay attention to what's going on. I don't know why it makes for a good Yeah.
Geoff 3:23
to, I mean, to maybe play devil's advocate, you could say that if you are both into the same thing and watching the movie, and then you can discuss it afterwards. It's a point of discussion. And that can be good for someone that lacks a point of discussion. But also, they can be set up pretty badly. Like you could, oh, let's just go for a movie and then like, the other person picks a movie, and you absolutely hate it. And you have to sit through two and a half hours of watching the movie. Yeah, I
Georgie 3:58
think you have to agree on it. Yeah. Have you seen it? Yeah, I saw that as it wasn't a first date. Anyone listening to this and thinks this is hilarious? Yeah, it was. It was kind of shit, cuz I hated that.
Geoff 4:20
Yeah, it was very long silence. And
Georgie 4:23
it's like, and it was the time the timing of it. Was that random? Like, eight o'clock or something? Or 730 which is the same question you asked Jeff. When you go to a concert, when do you eat and so like, down like boxed sushi before the movie because you can't take shoot in the movie. And then like come out at like 1030 and like right now there's no way to go because everything's closed because we're in Sydney
Geoff 4:54
and you also live in inner west so no trains
Georgie 5:00
and back then it was actually I think it was power metal.
Geoff 5:02
Oh even was, yeah. But
Georgie 5:06
like no way to go man, like, converse about the movie Scott.
Geoff 5:12
Yeah. By the way, this is all theories. I've only had one first day. So this is all theoretical. And I'm glad you agree with me being more experienced in this area.
Georgie 5:25
I mean, what is like Do you have an ideal? First date?
Geoff 5:30
I really don't. Yeah, I really I really don't like, like we said, movies. You could make it good. You just have to set it up right. hikes, I guess.
Georgie 5:48
I feel like one's interest though. So like, yeah.
Geoff 5:51
Into the hikes. I mean, just just like dinner.
Georgie 5:56
Yeah, just like just like coffee or food or whatever. And then talk. I feel like yeah, like, I mean, have you seen? Okay, wait, you don't see. I've gotten ads for like, get it like have, like creative dates, like go to a driving range and hit balls hit golf balls. I'm like, I don't know. I don't care. Like a cooking class, you know, there are some really creative ones there, which are not just necessarily like first dates, but just date ideas. Yeah,
Geoff 6:25
the, the, the, I got I found my partner in during COVID. Yeah, so we could only text and call and, and, and those kind of things. So we got to know each other fairly well, before our first day. Yeah, like on physical first day. But we watched maybe like shows, like with, like streaming, and sharing shares, and watching them together. So you say that Sophos, like the first day I did the ballsy thing and tried to get her into one piece. Why is it? Because? Because no one piece is a very special type of anime. Right? That is 1000 episodes long. Yeah. So it takes maybe, like, maybe depends on how much you like anime, but at minimum would be 20 to 30 episodes before you actually get into it. Right? Maybe even 50. So he's talking about our high threshold? Yeah, you can't just watch one and they say, Hey, I really liked this thing. You have to like, really invest a lot of time and a lot of upfront investment time. And sometimes, like it was it followed the formula of really early 1990s anime where you would drag out every episode. Yeah, to fill up the gaps or like, slow down because the like comic that it's based on isn't written far enough. For anime. Yeah, it does it like he does the Spirit Bomb for like, 10 episodes, because Because I mean, it's dramatic. And kids are like coming back off to school and watching it. Going for school before school and watching it. So they're like, oh, yeah, there's like, there's a full cliffhanger. And they're like, trying to get get home. And like, go to sleep and wake up early for the next day. Anyways, there's a whole lot of psychological stuff around it, I think. But yeah, so it got it was it takes really long to get some of the points across. So they they're like fighting this group of pirates for an ungodly amount of episodes. Because just because they're just standing there facing off against each other, and they're just standing still. And then just like waiting for one another to do the thing. Like, what if I move too early to silence attention to silence intention, and then like monologuing and that's, that's all the episodes anyways. So I think I don't think that was our first day. But it was definitely definitely like, I think and left a field suggestion for a shared a watch, but I did want to introduce her to like some of my interests. So and she was open to, like, be introduced. So yeah, she watched a couple of
Georgie 9:44
ways. The thing is, what counts is like a first date though. You could go on a bunch of dates with someone before you're like officially, or someone actually asked someone out, you know what I mean?
Geoff 9:57
What I suppose My classification of a first date is that you've established mutual attraction. Yeah. And, and then and you want to discuss or, or interact time, spend time with each other exclusively. I guess not exclusive. You can be like, No, I don't think same time. Or like when you like multiple first dates like, you're not exclusive, but you can like dating around essentially. Yeah. Yeah. So I think like, establishing attraction and wanting to spend time with that specific person can is considered a date. And if you're only if you're the only one that establishes the attraction, then it's not me. It's not I'm sorry.
Georgie 10:54
Then what is it? To hang? Wait, so you wouldn't even call it a date? Even if the other person you're just not You're not 100%? Sure if they're like EMT or whatever. Still kind of a date like you're dating what you just haven't?
Geoff 11:11
I don't know this outside of my expertise. It's a one hit wonder. I've no comment. Say Yeah, I mean, see? Yeah, so what why is this a con? Like, how did they even make a concert earplugs? is my question. So
Georgie 11:38
I guess it's not an ear plug. It's well, actually it is hang on definition of a plug. It reduces the decimals. It reduces the decibels and sells this one I don't have this experience to class. This is like some next level shit. But
Geoff 11:58
engage basically they have fun. Yeah,
Georgie 12:01
so I actually bought some so I have the quiet of the quiet too. But I have the quiet and the experience. And then I decided to experience to hear you know, I have the what first one so I don't know what the difference is. But I was quite happy with them. So I was like, I'm not going to buy the number two I don't need I don't need to give a shit. I actually bought the engage two, which is supposed to be for I am so sorry. If my chair is squeaking. This podcast is unfiltered. I won't be engaged too. Because sometimes it's for like social gatherings and things like that. Where you just want to like reduce the sound of like, not necessarily background noise, but you just want to make it easier to kind of hear people who are closer to you and filter out just unnecessary noise because sometimes I just use like black magic. It sounds Yeah, it does. It does sound really weird. But it's kind of like the experience ones which I got for concerts and things like they definitely like reduce the decibels of sound band. But I think that I can still hear the music very clearly. It's just anyone named me like to have a conversation just a little bit harder. And then I
Geoff 13:16
think I get it. Yeah, they have an acoustic channel. So your year your basically your ear lobes and everything. Like associated with funneling sound into your ear hole is like cancelled, right? Yeah, so yeah, yeah, I
Georgie 13:41
have these. Yeah. So they can't make a bunch of like ear tips. These are the smallest ones I found these actually quite comfortable. But the other ones the Do you
Geoff 13:53
have air pods or air pods?
Georgie 13:57
Because yeah, they didn't my tiny ass is and I think
Geoff 14:01
the same problem. So that's why I'm asking if this will fit into my, I
Georgie 14:06
think yeah, this one though. I think because the quiet ones. They're all like silicone and they feel a little bit more pressurized because they're actually trying to quieten everything like you spent you can wear them when you sleep, so they feel a bit more suctioning, but I found these less comfortable. Like you can still wear them for several hours at a time but I found them uncomfortable to wear like through the night on a plane but also playing Yeah, but these ones I found pretty amazing for like concerts. They were really comfortable and I forget that they were in there.
Geoff 14:40
Yeah, I can see how this works now because if you change the material, because you've essentially neutralized everything your ears actually doing naturally to funnel sound. And then you have and then you have like a loop and you have a hole. Then you can control like the dampening by the material of the loop. because that's the only thing that's like capturing the sound to go. I've got one
Georgie 15:05
called the switch, which you can change between like three of them. But they don't recommend. They don't recommend wearing those ones to sleep. But it does change and it has less good reviews. This one that's what I was like. Yeah, I
Geoff 15:20
imagine I imagined this like, if it's China, like one pair three volume settings I imagined that's hard to do. Yeah. Be perfect for everybody. It'll probably work for some people, but not for others. Yeah, actually, speaking of the airports, though,
Georgie 15:34
do you know where to get the original? Can we get them anywhere? Because there is a tiny thing.
Geoff 15:42
I am going to have to actually soon. I tried. I tried my partner's gen two. Yeah. Yeah, the ones that are not the prayers, but yeah. And I managed to get them to stick in my Oh, wait. This is not the gen two. So you can still buy it. Oh, you
Georgie 16:07
can? Yeah, we still buy half but anyway.
Geoff 16:14
The product so yeah, the third generation, right? Yeah, third gen. So I tried my partner's third gen. And I got it to stick in my ear in some way for so yeah. Like usually like is to keep your ear and then just like by pure force of your ear, it like prints it out.
Georgie 16:36
For us, it's just like, hey
Geoff 16:41
just just original form. You know,
Georgie 16:45
you know what happens with them. With like piercings when your body doesn't, your body can actually reject a piercing. So like you get like a piece of jewelry. And it's like, I'm not happy with where the fuck this is. It was started put trying to push the jewelry out of the hole.
Geoff 17:00
Yeah. So I managed to get it to fit. I mean, it's a 14 day return periods. You can try them and try them every which way possible before you can? Make sure yeah. I've seen people put in their air pods totally incorrectly. I'm like, I don't even
Georgie 17:22
wait, is that where it sticks out here? Like the end? Yeah.
Geoff 17:25
Like every which way the full word? They're like, pointing out that pointing outwards? They're like on the wrong is? Or is that? I don't know. flip of the coin really? So I have to I have to change my air pods soon. I think because the microphone doesn't work. And at times, there's only one operational and I just have to like reconnect them to get them to sync back up.
Georgie 18:04
Does that to like the I think in my prayers, okay, but sometimes I hope both of them might use and then the other one I have to get back in the case put up like do some gymnastics.
Geoff 18:13
Yeah. I'm gonna go into a very first of all prefer that. Yeah. And that's all the podcasts about anyways, but I'm reaching the five to six year mark on most of my electronics because I bought them all at the same time. Okay, what friendly and they're all breaking. I mean, besides my phone, because I have the phone from last year. But that's besides the point. Yeah.
Georgie 18:39
Do you have
Geoff 18:42
Oh, nevermind the the MacBook Air it's it's fine. It's like talking about like, and whatnot. I'm talking about my TV. My washing machine. The way
Georgie 18:53
hang on a minute. Wait, wait washing machine. You're only supposed to have like two of those in your lifetime. Like one and a half.
Geoff 18:59
Yeah, exactly. The how. My headphones. Yeah. My headphones, which I use for this podcast.
Georgie 19:09
Oh, yeah. Mine are like getting like little shits. Like I don't like the levels. Yeah,
Geoff 19:14
so I've replaced the cups. So you can actually get replacement cups for yours. You can use Sharpies. Yeah, the like yeah, I'm super sure. There's there's definitely replaced like these are replacement ear cups and mine are less popular than yours. What about the band bit because this one was also like oh no, you can't replace that. I don't think so. Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, but the ear cups you can like and then my air pods are also a bit bummed. And obviously other thing that interface I think that's about it, but there's just the TV in the washing machine is enough like to put a really big dent in your wallet.
Georgie 19:59
What about stuff? Oh, my
Geoff 20:02
keyboards fine. But I do want to get new key caps.
Georgie 20:05
My keyboard has like, dents in it.
Geoff 20:08
Holy crap. What are you doing?
Georgie 20:15
It's one of these someone saw this on a zoom. And they were like you code on the Apple keyboard. I'm like, yeah.
Geoff 20:23
I put you put yourself through torture. That's what you do.
Georgie 20:27
And I kind of wreck I got this. Like, I think of country. Someone was like, I haven't opened it. And I was like, yes. Save like,
Geoff 20:34
I mean, you can also get some pretty slim line. But so the key caps are the problem with your keyboard. Yeah, is it?
Georgie 20:44
I mean, I don't know. I don't have a huge problem with that. I'm okay with it. Like I probably just buy the same keyboard again.
Geoff 20:50
Yeah, but there's there's like really high like high quality key caps with the letters won't rub off ever.
Georgie 20:57
I can't be bothered looking into it right now. Besides me, why do I need the letters when I can type without looking? Oh, yeah.
Geoff 21:10
With the front with the front printed, and it's like all blank on the top. But on the side? It has the letters.
Georgie 21:16
Oh, my ex had a fully blank one. And he didn't use a QWERTY? No. So if anyone walked up to his computer
Geoff 21:28
Oh my God, that's insane. Let me get this keycap set up. But anyways, so there's a lot of things going. going awry.
Georgie 21:40
Would you ever get the air pods max? So that's
Geoff 21:44
where my problem is actually. I'm trying to figure out like, can I actually get this like my headphones. But also don't have to get to, you know, I have these overhead signs for the podcast and other cable that the cable is really important because I don't want power lost. And then the air pods which are used for transportation. Yeah. But the airports Max doesn't have a 3.5 millimeter jack.
Georgie 22:15
What does that have? Again? Like? Is
Geoff 22:17
it just Bluetooth? It's a lightning. It's a lightning port? Is it USB? It's a lightning port. And it is purely to charge. So it has no audio output? Or no audio input rather.
Georgie 22:32
So is it only Bluetooth? Yeah, way. And so that's your problem.
Geoff 22:38
That's my problem with airpots. Max,
Georgie 22:40
what is it the charging or? Oh, okay. Yeah,
Geoff 22:43
I can plug it into to receive audio from a different source. It is only only for power. Yeah. And it's Bluetooth, but like I want to not risk. Like running out of power.
Georgie 22:58
Yeah. Feel that? Oh,
Geoff 23:01
although you could say that, hey, that like the thing lasts for 24 hours. So like, yeah, maybe it's
Georgie 23:11
I don't know. Wait, can you can you buy them and return them after? 14 days?
Geoff 23:19
Yeah, you can. Yeah, I guess I guess that's reasonable. Like,
Georgie 23:23
I don't like how there's not a good way of carrying it. However, these headphones that I'm using now. Okay, I take them out with me on transport as well, because I've realized that I'm very, like, increasingly sensitive to like noise and shit. So I take your plugs, I know. But I want to listen to stuff. So I take these sometimes instead of like the air, the little air pods. So I like I kind of beat these up. Anyway, I've shuffled my bag without the case. And I put them around my neck. So I don't know why I'm complaining about the airport. Zmax case.
Geoff 23:52
Yeah, that's what I thought as well. Like, once a year, at least once a year I have to go on a plane. So I cannot reasonably do an air pods. I have to do an AirPods Pro, if I will to replace this all this stuff. And air pods per still only has six hours of power. So if I'm using it for transport, and then I go into a meeting. Well,
Georgie 24:14
isn't this the max? No, no, this
Geoff 24:16
is Max. I'm talking about the air pods. Oh right. Yeah, the air pods so the in ear ones don't last long enough for me to get to my location and then use it for for a meeting. And if I have back to backs, I can't charge them in between. So that's like a so coming back tried using the air pods. I tried using earplugs but replacing these headphones maybe I mean these are actually quite heavy compared to your ones Yeah, they are like 150 grams heavier than your
Georgie 24:51
oh I also wear these to the gym so like to work out. This well over these fuckers is just like,
Geoff 24:57
probably ideally wouldn't get The airports max to go to the gym. That's my that's my gauge on the holy crap. It's thrilling. It's basically twice the weight of your current ones I think,
Georgie 25:11
Man I might as well be like in a studio recording some music and share the gas headphones. They're probably comfortable despite being here. Yeah, but
Geoff 25:22
also the thing is that they don't turn off if you don't put them in the case.
Georgie 25:26
Yeah, I don't know. I've just not fully sold on them. They look nice and shit. But I feel like yeah, just
Geoff 25:34
some small tweaks. I think I would get them if they had some if they were cheaper. No really doesn't matter about the price when you're looking at Apple stuff really?
Georgie 25:45
I feel like they need an in between one to be honest but maybe the in between what is supposed to be the airport's like, bro and
Geoff 25:52
yeah, but this is like six hours, six hours versus 20 hours like yeah, you know what
Georgie 25:57
I'm gonna buy another pair of Sony's because these are like my lifesaver
Geoff 26:01
that's actually my conclusion as well. I'm gonna just buy the Sony's
Georgie 26:06
because like I have the XM threes, which I bought, I think when the XM before came
Geoff 26:12
out to Episode Five now. Yeah,
Georgie 26:15
and these I've had since. I don't know, but I got them in COVID though. Yeah, several years, let's just say.
Geoff 26:23
I think actually, they say XM fives are less are downgraded for maximum force or, or just so minor. They
Georgie 26:35
said the same with three and four. They said they said like if you don't care about something really like which I didn't care about. Get this freeze because like $100 Less even though
Geoff 26:49
my company paid for. Yeah, my company paid for this one too. Oh, well, it was a gift card for Lee after leaving.
Georgie 26:59
Work from home.
Geoff 27:01
Yeah. So ah, that's why that's why I need the AirPods pro because on a plane flight a plane fly I want noise on a helicopter we want to watch movies with my partner and the iPad can carry to two different air pods. So I Yeah, and I want I want I want noise cancellation so I'm basically tunneled in on the air pods for Yeah,
Georgie 27:39
right? Why don't you just watch some different devices but watch the same
Geoff 27:47
by two different devices that's $1,000 do
Georgie 27:50
to really own two different devices
Geoff 27:53
know that we're doing one iPad
Georgie 27:55
someone watch on their phone and then you can use
Geoff 28:03
so this is $1,000 or
Georgie 28:07
more just keep yourself entertained some other way.
Geoff 28:12
And you guys it's not too bad of a step in like 399 I suppose is
Georgie 28:23
Yeah, I like I'm really gonna like I do still use my air pods occasionally. Because the microphone is like the microphone and these suck Yeah, that shit this is just for like I use these Sony's for like listening to music and like just the noise cancellation factor. Button. I use the air pods like if I'm taking calls out in the bounce or like sending people miss like voice messages or whatever. Yeah,
Geoff 28:51
I'm actually quite surprised because I don't go out very often. I don't get very many phone calls. But when I do and I have my air pods in and I can't answer the phone call without having to like shout like shove my air pods into the case and disconnect them because the microphones don't work man.
Georgie 29:13
How long have you had yours?
Geoff 29:16
There's a long history with this. These are not these are these are simultaneously my first ones and not my first ones.
Georgie 29:23
When I remember you last did you lose?
Geoff 29:27
Yeah, yeah. So it's something in the washing machine. Yeah, I did actually washing machine Yeah, day two of my trip to pet I put them I left them in my pocket and put them in the washing machine. In any case, yeah. So I got my first set of air pods and then I and then I lost one
Georgie 29:49
and then it was just when you when you say you lost in a park and you lifted behind or something.
Geoff 29:55
I mean, that's definitely possible thing. So for the If you don't know the lore of my air pods, I'll just give it in very short time. So 10 minutes. So I bought air pods a first generation when they basically came out and I don't know when that was,
Georgie 30:14
let me guess 27 2016 Maybe that's my find out. It's been maybe 20 2016 times 16. Where I think if you look it up on Wikipedia, it was just someone will have
Geoff 30:36
release
a patch release 2019 What I was just discussing 2019
Georgie 30:47
There we go released a first generation.
Geoff 30:52
So I didn't, I don't think I bought it that early.
Georgie 30:56
I bought mine in like 2017 2018. Because I Yeah,
Geoff 31:00
because I had the iPhone seven. And I think that was one of the first iPhones I earned. So maybe maybe two years later, maybe two years that I'd like 29
Georgie 31:10
because I thought it was gimmicky, right? So we'll make fun of it. Yeah, I was like,
Geoff 31:14
it looks like a lollipop and your ear and things like that. Yeah. Anyways, so I got them. And then I was like, okay, they're fine. They're pretty good. And then I lost. I lost it. Did I miss all of? I can't remember. I think you told this. I know that I lost one. And then they and then I got a replacement one. So I bought, I bought a replacement one. And then they the techs at Apple gave me gen two. And then I had so I had one gen one ad
Georgie 31:55
on your screen. First
Geoff 31:56
of all vintage. Yeah. We've got some vintage shit. So the text gave me a gen two and I have a gen one already. So I don't even know how they work together because they have different generations. And then. And then I realized that the something somewhere in my iOS just told me that like, something wasn't working. Yeah. And then I looked up the serial numbers. And they were like, these are two completely different gents, what? And then I went to the store and I'm like, I confirmed that there are two different Jen's on like, they're like, oh, I don't even know how that happened. And so because it was discontinued the first gen. They just gave me a brand new second gen. second gen. Yeah, yes. So I got second gen AirPods without actually buying second gen AirPods. Yeah. And then And then so that I've been on the second gen AirPods and I just haven't. And the microphone was spotty. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn't. And now I think it just consistently doesn't work. And I can't be bothered. Yeah, cuz I mean, I can take you to the Apple Store. I've taken it to the Apple store before and they're like, they call it they call me. Yeah, and I use my air pods and it's okay for them. Oh my god. This is one of those cases where it's broken. I swear. And then the like, take it to a tech and like there it's not broken. So yeah,
Georgie 33:32
I don't mind trying to find it. I have to look for Apple Stores seats are some shit. Oh, here we go. Let's see. I think this is it. Oh, we can find out. Hey, I Oh no, that's for my Apple watch. I bought my Apple Watch in 2019 Maybe it's this 120 20
Geoff 34:01
I don't even know. I don't even know if it's possible to find out when I bought it because I'm just
Georgie 34:06
trying to look for my bloody receipts but I can't
Geoff 34:11
Oh, the device list doesn't include my AirPods Well, that's weird.
Georgie 34:16
Is it a different? Did you get like different emails on the
Geoff 34:22
App Store? The Apple Store app. It doesn't tell me anyway, my emails have it in my emails. Anyway, so the long story short, I have second gen air pods but I started with the first gen and I got a free upgrade, as I usually do in life, I think some app and yeah, there's a whole load of dilemmas going on. I contemplated getting the new iPad but of course, I talked myself in and out and in and sort of settling on out. Because yeah
Georgie 35:14
I'm still trying to find my air pods. I got a stand. I don't care about the standard that I bought in 20 2005.
Geoff 35:23
Apple Store. I don't even know if Yeah,
Georgie 35:30
I definitely found it before, but I must have been 2717 or something. Oh, wait, maybe this is it. I'll never find that I keep reopening the same.
Geoff 35:48
So all this to say that? Yeah, I'll probably still keep them separate. Maybe I need new air pods. These headphones? Do I need them to be noise cancelling is also another question.
Georgie 36:08
Now important for me. I realize so even at home, or not? No, not at home. But
Geoff 36:18
some pods could actually noise canceled. Would you actually take your current headphones and need them to be noise cancelling?
Georgie 36:27
Yeah, no, you're right. If if the airport's could noise cancel properly the same way these ones do and fit in my ear. Then maybe I wouldn't really bother with these.
Geoff 36:38
What's the what's the actual like? Is there anything? Good? That's not noise cancelling.
Georgie 36:48
No, I'm just gonna put my foot down. Not but okay. I feel like Yeah.
Geoff 36:54
And actually the Sony XM Vols. Yeah, topped both their headphone charts and the noise canceling chart. So yeah, stuff.
Georgie 37:05
Yeah, look, here's here's how like, dedicated I am to these headphones, right? I I decided that any earrings I would buy need to be like made like, have like a hook kind of style and not be a giant. So that when I put the headphones on, the earrings will come out under the headphones comfortably instead of being on my ear that I have to try to cover
Geoff 37:33
her eyes around.
Georgie 37:37
Yeah, whereas like, not such a problem if I'm wearing air pods but the air pods don't lose. Don't noise cancel. Yeah.
Geoff 37:45
So there are in ear wired headphones, which, which would be actually quite interesting. Will they fit in our ears? It's always Yeah, it's good question. I have thought about that for air pots. Oh, like the conductive basic. Some people say that
Georgie 38:02
because like the quality's
Geoff 38:04
like yeah I mean, like, Yes, this is how I'm using the cable to know on your phone, though. Oh my phone this will be to replace
Georgie 38:19
that but then what am I always spilling out of the thing.
Geoff 38:24
My partner does use it for work because a they're very small and be the cabled so they don't have to worry about charging it in the in a lot of meetings. Yeah. Oh, you can get customized ear tips. I've looked this up actually for air pods. You can actually get a mold of your ear and then like have the custom tip made. Okay, but
Georgie 38:46
if to fit your ear is too small to begin with.
Geoff 38:49
I know it would so that it would replace the rubber pot with of your exact ear size. Yeah, okay. And then we'll work that way but it's a bit troublesome for the air pods because Yeah, hello case you can't put them in the house with the custom tips. Any problems? Yeah, so many problems. Do you want to go custom but there's other problems to take care of.
Georgie 39:14
Don't put them in a cage. Oh, well.
Geoff 39:16
You can you can charge them and you go Yeah, yeah, anyways, that's that's the life everything has to work together. But everything refuses to work together. So thus costing us more money. And that's life lessons learned at the end of this episode. As a technology minimalist a lot of technology.
Georgie 39:52
What is the technology minimalist? I feel like I feel like neither of us technology minimalist because we both have a microphone I
Geoff 40:01
mean, yeah, okay, wait, hang
Georgie 40:04
on. You have an iPad. I literally have a phone and a MacBook. don’t Yeah,
Geoff 40:10
I have a MacBook iPad at pods. Apple TV. Pretty much every Apple device category. Yeah. Which one doesn't? Don't I have Apple vision.
Georgie 40:21
Hey, that's coming out for like free water soon. Yeah,
Geoff 40:25
I'm not getting enough. But, um, I think I don't eat. I don't have multiple. I don't have multiple versions of something. So I don't have multiple keyboards, for instance, where some may okay, why do you swap? keyboards? I do have the one side. Yeah, yeah. So I opt to replace and Merge where possible. Yeah, rather than add on, and like, have purposeless, you're
Georgie 40:57
gonna have a MacBook? And then you'll get rid of your one. And you're
Geoff 41:02
not? Well, I look, I look forward to the day where I mean, like, I think I can actually Oh, well, you can work on an iPad could actually work on an iPad, it's not gonna happen. I Code Spaces kid up, because space is actually really good. And it works in the browser. So I tried it with my iPad Pro, because everything that you could do on a new iPad, you can still do on the old iPads. So I tried it out. And the only finicky thing is actually maybe the mouse cursor isn't actually quite as accurate as you would like. So clicking on the text where you need to change might be a challenge. But if you're just doing a code change, like, wherever you want to do a code change on an iPad, let's just recognize the use case is a bit edge. But
Georgie 41:51
then like, I just feel like the the MacBook Air, which is what I have is just so light anyways, that really is I'm just like, why would I get an iPad when this is so much more powerful? Maybe if it was a
Geoff 42:03
cost? Well, I guess that the option is like you have to actually have a use case for the iPad. And you have to have a use case for the laptop. And they have to overlap in some state.
Georgie 42:14
Yeah, mine. Like kind of just don't I don't have a use case for the iPads just like yeah, I'll sit there and watch stuff. But I don't watch that.
Geoff 42:21
Yeah, yeah. So I mean, I read that
Georgie 42:24
I don't read a lot. And don't read and read an iPad and not read on my phone.
Geoff 42:29
Yeah, yeah. I mean, most people recommend getting the keyboard with the iPad. And I also think that that's a bit of a fraught, could like idea, because if you're just putting it with the keyboard that he made the MacBook Yeah, your MacBook Air. If you're always keeping in the keyboard MacBook. If you have no use case for it doing that hatched from the keyboard, then MacBook Air. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 42:57
so I do
Georgie 42:59
with the keyboard, like always attached. And it's always there with the keyboard open even when he's watching stuff. So we use the keyboard to look up stuff in the YouTube.
Geoff 43:08
So yeah, yeah. I mean, it's not that much lighter than a MacBook Air. Let's be real.
Georgie 43:14
It's yeah. It's kind of maybe it's just
Geoff 43:18
it's been a maybe I don't
Georgie 43:20
even know what to carry. I don't know. It's just
Geoff 43:25
Yeah, but awkward to carry,
Georgie 43:27
especially even with the keyboard attached. Whereas at least with the map again, you can just carry it.
Geoff 43:33
Yeah, I think like fear of detachment could also be a thing. But yeah, anyways, we're at the end of this episode. Georgia, you have a concept to
Georgie 43:47
don't tell anybody. When is this being published? I will be wearing my earplugs.
Geoff 43:57
Yeah. So you can follow us on nothing but you can email us on at the test for us. pod@pm.me you can
Georgie 44:07
find out episodes on Apple podcast, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcast and the big air pod.
Geoff 44:14
Yeah. Have you seen a big air pod? They actually speakers. Yeah.
Georgie 44:19
I think I think I saw I saw some it was I was like, oh man.
Geoff 44:26
Just novelty. And use new episodes every Monday so I
